Fortunately, she stabilized, and walked quickly to the person with her document bag: "Hello, I am Xia Yuandie, the leader of the Dongshi translation project team, and I am also the person in charge of the translation project of this week's summit, and I contacted you through your assistant this morning......

Xia Kitese speaks briskly, articulates clearly, and has a very obvious sense of rhythm, ensuring that she can finish her message before the other party gets impatient and can let the other party capture the key points.

That's her expertise.

The person in charge of the materials department was obviously very surprised, and the person in charge who had called him through his secretary hundreds of kilometers away in the morning actually appeared in front of him in the evening.

Or in this manufacturing base in the wilderness.

You can imagine how much effort and energy the other party has put in in a day today, and although he tried his best to hide it, the interpreter in front of him with a beautiful appearance can also see the difficulties on this road from the slightly messy sideburns.

Ji Qian'an softened his mind a little: "Okay, I know the situation." You wait. Xiao Liu, you are here to accompany her. When we're done talking about this parameter and send you a message, you'll bring her over. ”

"No problem, Mr. Ji."

“……”

One hour later.

In the heavy rain that the sky was so dull that not even a star could be seen, Xia Butterfly finally held on to the last trace of strength and walked out of the office building of the engine performance test area of the manufacturing base.

Stop at the steps.

Xia Yuandie picked up her mobile phone and clicked into the temporary group chat of the translation project team.

I don't know why the conversation is so hot, but she doesn't have much strength to flip it up. Anyway, if there is an emergency, they will call instead of group chats.

Holding down the voice bar, Xia Kitese brought her slightly pale lips closer to the phone, trying her best to bite the words clearly in the sound of rain.

"The signature is gone, call it a day. I will send you the signed documents with my mobile phone, and you will go to Helena's materials department early tomorrow morning to get the documents. I'm probably going to ...... tomorrow morning."

Xia Kites was stunned, looked at the night where the rain was unabated, and changed her words, "I'll return tomorrow." ”

After sending a reply message, it can be regarded as the end of today's last business.

Xiao Liu took a shared umbrella borrowed from the base for Xia Yuandie, but the rain was too strong, and she barely supported it to the security booth at the gate, and the end of her knee-length skirt was a little wet.

"Girl, is it raining so hard that no one is coming to pick you up? You won't be able to leave tonight. ”

The officer on duty in the security room was no longer the one who had been talking to her for a long time in the afternoon, but he had changed to a kind big brother, who was holding a glass thermos cup with only half a cup of green tea leaves, and poked his head out of the window with concern to look at Xia Butterfly who was resting outside the security room.

"Thank you, big brother, I'll see if there is a car nearby." Xia Kites nodded at each other.

"It's now, it's desolate near this base, and it's raining so heavily—how can those sports cars in the city go this way, where can they get orders!"

The eldest brother was very enthusiastic, and it was not excluded that he was stuffy in the security room alone.

Xia Irisie saw him simply put down the thermos cup, walked out of the security room, and rubbed his arms under the eaves: "Mother, it's such a cold day...... Girl, you're an employee in the base office building, right? I see that you are wearing these clothes, you can't catch a cold, you should go back to the office tonight, you really can't get a taxi here. ”

Xia Kites just put down her phone.

The security guard is right, there are no online car-hailing cars in the vicinity.

It was obviously impossible for a taxi to go into the wilderness at this time and in the heavy rain.

"I'm not from this unit, I'm here to do some errands," Xia Idiedie thanked the other party for her kindness, "You go in, I'll wait here for the online car-hailing to take orders, and by the way, see if the rain can be lighter." ”

The security guard laughed: "You girl is quite stubborn, do you want to wait for the car?" Unless you can call one-"

The words did not fall.

Snow-white high-beam headlights suddenly pierced the rain curtain.

In front of the bright and ugly headlights, every drop of rain is reflected in a broken streamer.

A pure black long car cut through the overwhelming rain and sped from the night, illuminating the dark road ahead in front of Xia Kite's eyes as if it were day.

It slowed down, and finally stopped in front of the stunned two.

The security guard brother was stunned: "Girl, this car, what did you call?" ”

The eldest brother swallowed back the sentence "You are still willing to spend money".

Because the windows are down.

The interior lights are being turned on by a slender and bony hand.

In the driver's seat, the man with loose and messy black hair looked sideways, his sharp eyes were hooked, and his dark eyes in the night were like lonely distant stars in the cold mountains.

His face was pale, for no apparent reason, and he was almost pale with cold.

The thin lips that had pale the color of blood opened and closed slightly, and You Lie's voice was low and dull in the rainy night.

"Get in the car."

“……”

Xia Butterfly was stunned in front of the rain curtain and looked at the figure in the car with some disbelief.

There's no way he's here.

Even if he was in Cangcheng and near the base, he would not be able to appear in front of her.

Xia Butterfly almost decided that everything in front of her was just her hallucinations or dreams.

Until the big security brother who bent down to look next to him came back suddenly, and he was so shocked that he almost trembled-

"You, You?! Why did you drive here yourself? ”

“…… Pick up people. ”

You Lie's eyebrows were furrowed, and the corners of his forehead were slightly sweaty. In just these few words, his cheekbones trembled, as if he was trying to restrain something, and his jawline became more and more tense and cold.

Summer Butterfly came back to her senses.

It's really You Lie.

Even if he was completely puzzled, it was not appropriate to engage in a verbal confrontation with him in front of his staff.

It's just a car ride ... Nothing.

"Thank you." Xia Irose did psychological work for herself, and consciously raised her legs to the back row, she stopped with an umbrella, and raised her hand to pull the car door-

Motionless.

Locked.

Xia Yuandie hesitated, and probed from the passenger window: "Mr. You, the door is ......."

However, I saw that on the steering wheel, the slender phalanges that were sharply bent and clenched were being pinched extremely tightly, and the joints that had been overexerted turned cold white.

Xia Butterfly was slightly stunned.

And the man's dark eyes were slightly off, and his side face was still indifferent, only his voice was very hoarse.

"Miss Xia, should I be your driver?"

You Lie turned back coldly, and was so indifferent that he didn't look at her anymore: "Co-pilot." ”

“……”

Xia Kites paused.

Turning back, she opened the passenger door and sat in hesitantly.

Chapter 47: The Present World

The rain was getting heavier, and the sound of knocking on the windows was like a rapid drumbeat.

The fire-like street lamps are dimly discerned in the rain and mist, as if leading to the illusory and sunken dream kingdom of Morpheus, the god of dreams in Greek mythology. Only the headlights pierce through the snow, reflecting the rain curtain like a streamer, erecting a bridge of light through the endless darkness.

The heating in the car was running well. The body and perception of the summer kite, which had been frozen in the night rain, finally came to life little by little.

After getting into the car, she consciously chose the destination in the car navigation.

It was a hotel she had booked nearby after getting off the plane during the day, less than 10 kilometers from the base. The journey from the base was unimpeded, and theoretically, even if it rained, it would be there in ten minutes.

However......

Xia Butterfly turned her face slightly to look at the window beside her.

The raindrops are tilting at a smaller and smaller angle, almost falling in a straight line.

Not her delusion – the speed was slowing down all the time.

The woman in the passenger seat gently squeezed the seat belt in front of her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned her eyes to her side.

After getting into the car, this was the first time that Xia Kitten looked in the direction of the driver's seat.

You Lie was holding the steering wheel with both hands at this moment, and he was holding it very tightly, and the leather case on the □□ was obviously depressed by the knuckles.

His knuckles were white, and the back of his hand was tightly stretched with cold and slender veins.

And the clear side face also revealed a pale coldness, and the broken hair at the corners of his forehead was slightly wet with sweat and hung down, making his eyes sharp and thin.

But there was a feeling of tightness that was about to break.

Before getting into the car, I only had a faint feeling, but now Xia Irose has been able to determine-

You Lie's state is not quite right.

No matter how much he hated her, he wouldn't be like this.

Ignoring those chaotic moods anymore, Xia Yuandie pondered her tone and asked in a low voice: "Mr. You, you... Are you okay? ”

“——”

The car shook softly as she spoke.

Xia Kitedie's face turned pale, and she subconsciously held on to both sides of the seat.

As if he had briefly woken up from a dream, You Lie slowly realized that she was still in the car, and his brows twitched.

I was afraid that the dark eyes would be covered like a veil of shadow.

Steering wheel side hit ——

The black sedan came to a stop on the side of the road on a rainy night.

Xia Butterfly tightened her seat belt and seriously thought about the question of whether she would go to the hotel or back to the base if You Lie wanted to leave her in the car here.

After all, seven years ago, she had abandoned him in the pouring rain in Los Angeles, which was no weaker than tonight.
