Walking out of the office building, the moment you push the door, there is a heat wave to meet you.

Jiang Limei wore a Hong Kong-style neck camisole today, her slender arms and back were exposed in the air, and she was immediately coerced by the heat, and she had a thin layer of sweat.

It's really hot tonight.

Ren Yu stood in the shadow of the tree, white T slacks, slender and slender, as if he wanted to compete with the trunk of the tree to see who stood straighter. Jiang Limei thought it was funny, is there still someone standing like this now?

Seeing her coming, Ren Yu took a few steps forward, and Jiang Limei saw the fine beads of sweat on his forehead through the street lights.

"Aren't you a little stupid?" Jiang Limei raised her chin slightly, not realizing the coquettishness in her tone: "Is it hot?" Stop getting heat stroke, go buy you a bottle of water. ”

"It's fine." Ren Yu smiled and touched the bridge of his nose: "If you have a bad stomach, you have to eat less spicy." ”

“？”

Jiang Limei was stunned for a moment, tugged at the hem of her clothes, raised her arm and sniffed it, and couldn't help frowning:

"I ate with my colleagues at noon, and the smell of hot pot is too difficult to disperse"

"Is it any special day?"

Jiang Limei shrugged: "No, it's an ordinary working day, our company has a lot of young people, a good atmosphere, and often dinners." ”

It's not just a dinner party, I'm going to experience an escape room with young people in a while. Jiang Limei thought in her heart, the phone just vibrate, it was a WeChat message sent to her by her junior brother, saying that there was a friend in a big traffic jam and she was going to play an hour longer than the scheduled time, telling Jiang Limei not to be in a hurry and take her time.

There were delivery people passing by them, the headlights of the motorcycle illuminated Ren Yu's side face, Jiang Limei's gaze slashed from the curvature of his jaw to his neck, the slightly protruding Adam's apple, and then to the collarbone covered with slight sweat, winding under the collar.

Jiang Limei quietly retracted her gaze, only feeling that this summer night was getting hotter and hotter.

"Let's go, if you're thirsty, go buy something to drink."

The two of them walked on the way to the convenience store, Jiang Limei grabbed the bag and put the chain on it, and said to Ren Yu:

"I asked my colleagues out tonight, so I can't eat with you."

She actually considered whether to take Ren Yu with her, and it shouldn't be a big problem to add someone to the escape room, right? But when she thinks of her colleagues' bad habits of gossiping, maybe she will be the center of conversation in the office next Monday.

Besides, Ren Yu is not like someone who likes to play in secret rooms. Think about it or give up.

She grabbed a bottle of diet soda from the shelf. I wanted to take it from the freezer, but because there was a nagging doctor next to me, my hand retracted. Ren Yu took the same, Jiang Limei took his one over, and scanned the code to check out together. Ren Yu didn't rob her.

The convenience store has window seats, so customers can eat bento here, and after dinner, the seats are empty.

They sat side by side, outside the transparent glass, the delivery man and the courier were busy, the motorcycles with boxes came and went, and there were also people who had just gotten off work in a hurry, walking in the direction of the subway station.

The streetlights mottled their shadows together.

This is Ling City, working overtime until eight. Nine o'clock is too common to be a common thing. It didn't take much time for Jiang Limei to adapt to the rhythm of the city.

It may be because of her strong and lush vitality and vitality, or it may be because there is no one behind her, so she has no worries.

"I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you today, so I'll have to treat you to a bottle of water."

"It's okay, I didn't make an appointment with you in advance." Ren Yu said lightly.

If she had made an appointment in advance, would she have gladly gone to the appointment? Jiang Limei knew that she wouldn't.

She was actually thinking about whether to find a suitable time to talk to Ren Yuche again, explain the real reason for her rejection of him, and don't waste each other's time.

Ren Yu's persistence was unexpected to her.

It's not that she hasn't met stubborn suitors, there was once a young man who opened a restaurant, and ordered flowers for her for a month, not the same every day, she carried the flowers from the office to the trash can downstairs every day, and then took a photo and sent it to the other party, for a month, the other party finally died down.

Jiang Limei asked herself, she couldn't do this to Ren Yu.

Ren Yu has a sense of proportion, and magically only shows up when she needs it. His pursuit didn't bother her much, and she couldn't tear her face.

The soda bubbled, and my thoughts fluctuated with the bubbles.

Jiang Limei quietly looked at the lights outside the glass, and suddenly sighed: "This is the hottest summer in the years I have been in Ling City." ”

Ren Yu's eyes fell on her together: "Well, this year's high temperature warnings are very frequent. ”

High temperature warning? Jiang Limei smiled: "I studied in the university in Yangcheng, you should have a concept in Yangcheng, the degree of heat is not the same as that of northern cities." ”

She tried to make Ren Yu understand how terrifying the midsummer in Yangcheng was: "When it is the hottest time in summer, it rains half the time, and the raindrops that fall are hot, and you will sweat after only a few minutes of walking outside, just like in a sauna, you can't breathe at all." ”

She pursed the corners of her mouth and looked at Ren Yu: "Have you ever been to Yangcheng?" ”

Ren Yu's hand holding the bottle tightened, and the plastic bottle made a sluggish sound.

"Nope. I haven't been. ”

"That's a pity, Yangcheng is hot, and there are a lot of delicious foods. Boat porridge, rice rolls, old fire soup, and many desserts. There is an egg tart king in front of our school, which is simply amazing. ”

Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts is a good school, although it was not what she dreamed of going to at that time, but it was also a complete four years of her college.

She talked to Ren Yu about the scenery of Yangcheng, and Ren Yu, as always, was a perfect listener. Speaking of the big difference between the old city and the new city of Yangcheng, Jiang Limei's mobile phone rang, it was Wu Yusi.

Wu Yusi told her that the curatorial company called her and said that some of the design drafts that had been delivered had not been reviewed by the client and needed to be overturned. Wu Yusi refused, saying that the manuscripts exchanged between the two sides were confirmed to be backed up, and it was not their responsibility to temporarily overturn them. If they were to be redesigned, they would have to double the time and cost.

"Jiang Limei, did you say they did it on purpose?"

Needless to say?

didn't leave any affection, didn't think about seeing each other in the future, and made it clear that Jiang Limei and they were a small studio, and they were sure that they would back down after weighing it.

"Don't reply to them yet, just say we're going to have a meeting and study, and we don't work on weekends. I'll talk about that when I meet the lawyer. ”

Hanging up the phone, she realized that Ren Yu was looking at her, and shook her phone: "It's nothing, it's a matter of work." ”

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Jiang Limei was a little angry, and soda couldn't extinguish her anger. She boasted that she had seen countless bastards, it was not easy to make money these days, but there will always be a more shameless refresh of her cognition, allowing her to see the sinister rivers and lakes.

She described it to Ren Yu in concise words, in fact, storytelling is only secondary, and she is also venting through storytelling.

When talking about this thin profit, Jiang Limei laughed bitterly: "Do you dare to believe it? If I really go to court, the profit from my single order will not even be enough to pay the lawyer's fees. ”

Ren Yu listened quietly and never spoke, but when she took a breath to drink water, she took her mobile phone and sent Huang Youhui a WeChat message.

"Do you have a legal officer?"

"Yes, nominal ones, you can't count on them, you know?" Jiang Limei raised her eyebrows.

Ren Yu nodded.

"You got a lawyer?"

"Yes, we'll meet tomorrow, so that physical examination will be postponed until the day after tomorrow, and it may be next week."

Ren Yu clicked twice on the phone, then put it on the desktop and pushed it to her, and the screen was facing her direction:

"If you have a good time, you may be able to meet another lawyer after meeting your appointment tomorrow. After all, whether this lawsuit is fought or not, and how to fight it, it is still necessary to consider more, and it is a good thing for multiple people to come up with ideas. ”

Jiang Limei saw Ren Yu's mobile phone screen stop in the chat interface, Ren Yu only said that there was a company contract dispute, and the opposite side replied almost in seconds:

[Your friend? Okay, when will we meet, I'll tell my wife. 】

She looked at Ren Yu in confusion.

"My younger brother and his wife are lawyers in well-known law firms, and they are good at commercial disputes, so they should be able to help."

Seeing that Jiang Limei was hesitating, he said again:

"Don't worry about human feelings, we don't need to think about these things."

Jiang Limei didn't know for a while that the "we" in Ren Yu's mouth was referring to him and herself, or to him and his friends.

After a moment of hesitation, WeChat rang again:

[Is it okay tonight?] Have a late-night snack? I'm going to go to the hot springs with my wife tomorrow, it's a rare day off, we haven't had a two-person world for a month, are you considerate and considerate? 】

Ren Yu's proposal actually helped Jiang Limei a lot, and it is better to have a familiar and professional person come up with an idea for a lawsuit than a lawyer who pays the consulting fee on time, and they will speak more straightforwardly and put themselves in their shoes when it comes to litigation.

She folded her hands without too much struggle.

Now is not the time to dwell on hypocrisy.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Limei sent a message to the junior brother, and she apologized to the junior brother: [You guys have fun, the money for the secret room and supper tonight is mine. 】

The junior brother replied to her, what is this, tonight this is more than one person and one less person actually doesn't matter much, boss, you are busy with you.

After Jiang Limei calmed this side, she opened Dianping to find a restaurant.

"Where are they? We are now in the past, and this time is too late and the rush hour will not be congested. ”

She looked up and saw Ren Yu staring at her:

"What do they like to eat?"

Jiang Limei, a high-end restaurant that is still open, flipped through the pages of Dianping, then clicked on the business details to see the business hours, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and the warm touch covered the surging air conditioning in the convenience store.

"I'll arrange it." Ren Yu said.

"Nope." Jiang Limei refused: "I asked someone to help, of course I want to come." ”

"Not really."

Ren Yu's hand didn't let go, so he grabbed her wrist like that, and his smile was a little helpless:

"Listen to me this time, we don't need to talk about that, pomp and the like are even more useless."

Jiang Limei finally asked, "We?" Who? ”

"Both," Ren Yu looked at her: "You don't need to be polite to me, I'm very happy to be able to help you." ”

At this time, Jiang Limei was stuck in a headache career, and she didn't realize that the boundary between her and Ren Yu was in jeopardy, and the line that drew a clear relationship had been torn off by her personally.

Ren Yu led her silently, step by step into his world and his social circle.

And she didn't know it.
