Volume XXXVII
The warm afternoon sun shone on Qing Ruolan through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating her softness. After a long absence, she didn't put herself into work immediately after the meal, and Qing Ruolan, who was blindfolded, sank into sleep.
Silently waved all the servants in the hall away, and Zhao Qixing tiptoed to put a blanket on Qing Ruolan. Looking at the tired look on the other party's face that could not be concealed even after falling asleep, Zhao Qixing stroked her frowning brow very distressedly. And it was precisely because of this gentle movement that Qing Ruolan woke up.
"Sister Qixing. Slightly confused, she opened her eyes, and Qing Ruolan had not completely recovered her senses: "When?"
"You've only slept for less than 10 minutes!" angrily tucked the blanket that slipped off slightly because of the action for the other party, Zhao Qixing said angrily: "You belong to a puppy, you can't sleep well, right?"
"You're a puppy!" was very dissatisfied with Zhao Qixing's description, Qing Ruolan got up and stretched her waist lazily: "Puppy puppy puppy!"
Zhao Qixing was about to fight, but when his palm fell on Qing Ruolan, his action changed to wrapping a blanket tightly for the other party: "Cover it! It's just spring, don't catch a cold." ”
"It's fine. Half-sitting on the sofa to come back to her senses, Qing Ruolan turned her head to look at the sunlight outside the house, and her thoughts drifted somewhere. After a long time, Qing Ruolan's eyes were full of brilliance again: "I'm going to the study, Sister Qixing." ”
"Can't you rest for a while?" Having said that, Zhao Qixing still folded the blanket: "Get out of here, get out of here! There's still soup for you in the kitchen, I'll take a look." ”
"Hey, hey. Sticking out her tongue at Zhao Qixing, Qing Ruolan opened the door of the living room: "Hello, Miss Li." ”
Li Qiao'er, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, was bored and fiddling with her braids. Her hair had grown a lot during this time, and she was thinking about whether she might take some time out to trim it. Seeing the target appear, he immediately followed suit: "Good afternoon, Miss Qing." ”
"What about Mr. Lin?" looked around, Qing Ruolan didn't find Lin Ye's figure: "It seems that I haven't seen anyone else for another morning." ”
"I called early today and called my brother back to the company. After a pause, Li Qiao'er was afraid that Qing Ruolan was accusing something, and explained: "It seems that there is a very important meeting, so I am temporarily put on duty." ”
"That's right. The footsteps did not stop, Qing Ruolan replied lightly and then never spoke, and Li Qiao'er also remained silent. Speaking of which, in fact, Li Qiao'er is not a person who is a man of few words, but whenever she stays with Qing Ruolan, she always unconsciously restricts her nature, and even she herself doesn't understand why.
The pace of the two is not very fast. In fact, from the living room to the study, it only took one staircase to go up, but Qing Ruolan took nearly 5 minutes. Smiled politely at Li Qiao'er, who opened the door for herself, and Qing Ruolan stepped into the room with her left foot: "Then I'll trouble you today, Miss Li." ”
"It's our business. Acting neither humble nor arrogant, Li Qiaoer raised her hand and tapped her ears: "I'm just guarding at the door." If there is anything, Miss Qing only needs to ring the bell. ”
"Okay. Qing Ruolan replied lightly. Li Qiao'er was about to close the door for her, but saw the other party turn back again.
"Miss Qing, what's wrong?" Thinking that someone had broken into the study, Li Qiao'er stepped forward to protect Qing Ruolan behind her with a single step: "Please step back." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Knowing that the other party had misunderstood what she meant, Qing Ruolan pulled the corner of Li Qiao'er's clothes: "Don't be nervous, I'm fine." ”
Still glancing around, Li Qiao'er was sure that there was indeed no threat in the room, so she turned her head to look at Qing Ruolan and expressed her doubts with her eyes.
"I'm just thinking that I don't seem to have any particularly important work today. Bypassing Li Qiao'er, Qing Ruolan came to her desk and sat down: "So, can I invite you to come in and sit down?" Stretching out her hand and pointing to another leather chair opposite, Qing Ruolan's expression was very sincere: "It seems that from the beginning to the present, we haven't had a good chat!"
==================================================
"Kurumi is back, the original job. ”
At around three o'clock in the morning, Lin Ye received a text message from the chief instructor. In just 7 words, it seems to be both a reminder and a warning. Before Lin Ye could fully digest the news, only a quarter of an hour later, the chief instructor personally called, and the content was concise and to the point: Lin Ye was asked to return to the team immediately and attend a meeting of senior cadres.
As for what the theme of the meeting was, the chief instructor didn't say, and Lin Ye didn't ask.
Although I knew in my heart that the aftermath of the gladiatorial arena would not pass so easily, I also thought about what kind of scene it would be like to see Kurumi again. But when Kurumi really stood in front of him again with a sound attitude, Lin Ye still felt a little uncomfortable.
It has nothing to do with remorse or fear. Even now, if Lin Ye is allowed to choose again, then on the afternoon when Mad San slapped Li Qiao'er, he would still break the other party's limbs without hesitation. It's just that compared to before, although the expression on the face of the mad three at this moment no longer has that disgusting arrogance and arrogance, Lin Ye instinctively feels that he has become more dangerous.
If the previous Kurumi was like a wolf with his fangs baring all the time, now he is more like a five-step snake lurking in the grass.
Just as dangerous, but even more deadly.
"Instructor Lin. Taking two steps forward, Kurumi took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "It's been a long time." ”
"Fifty-six days. Holding the other party's palm lightly, Lin Ye replied, "It's not too long." ”
"It's rare that Instructor Lin even remembers the number of days so clearly. He didn't let go, and smiled like an old friend: "In the past fifty-six days and nights, I miss Instructor Lin." ”
"Really?" The palm of his hand felt the huge force surging from all directions, as if he was about to crush himself, Lin Ye did not struggle, but chose to meet it head-on: "That's really tiring and worrying." ”
"We're all colleagues, and it's right to care for each other. Pulling the corners of his mouth, Crazy San took the initiative to let go of his hand: "The days ahead will be very long, and I ask Instructor Lin to take care of me." ”
"If anyone cares for me, I will return the favor. With his palm hanging down to his side again, Lin Ye said lightly: "Waiting for you at any time." ”
No longer replying, Kurumi owed a slight debt to Lin Ye, and took the lead in pushing open the door of the conference room and walking in, but Lin Ye still stopped in place and did not move. When the gate was completely closed, Lin Ye raised his right hand, which was already blue and purple, to his face, and then looked at the closed gate not far away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
