She chuckled softly.

That day she almost messed up one of her own conference simultaneous interpretations, the first mistake in her robot-like career.

It was also on that day that Xia Butterfly suddenly came to her senses.

In the library of Caltech that afternoon, the saddest thing for her was that she had verified what she had believed when she left him a year ago.

Both he and her have things in their lives that are more important than love. Love can be replaced.

But that afternoon, when she overturned the sequence of principles she had always believed in in her life, and ran to the other side of the ocean with all her impulses and courage, he was beaten back to reality by his own hands.

It turns out that she is not unique.

You Lie doesn't have to be her.

After sorting out the information, Xia Butterfly stood in front of the wardrobe, instinctively reaching out to a narrow waist dress, she grabbed herself in time.

Then I changed into a most modest T-shirt and jeans.

There are some suburbs near her home, and it is difficult to get a taxi. After only an hour and a half of the online car-hailing appointment, Xia Kites even had time to take a shower before going out.

Before leaving, she tied a ponytail and went out with no face to the sky.

At least when You Lie's family saw He Qiyue, she would not feel ashamed that she had dressed up to deliver materials to someone else's fiancé.

Along the way, I didn't know how sleepy I slept a few times, and the online car-hailing car that Xia Irose was sitting in finally drove to a closed high-end community in the center of the city where You Lie lived.

The security was very strict, and Xia Kitese almost suspected that she was entering some secret agency.

Fortunately, You Lie seemed to have explained to the property in advance, and after verifying her personal identification information, the other party quickly let her go.

After the elevator went upstairs, Xia Butterfly stood in front of the double-door entrance door.

When she pressed the visitor bell next to her, she was still thinking about how she would use more businesslike wording if it was He Qiyue who opened the door.

Then she heard the door click and it opened.

There was no one behind the door.

I don't know which corner of the microphone is hidden, You Lie's voice is magnetic and cold, faintly revealing the coming of mountain rain.

"Enter."

“……”

Who beckoned him at tonight's dinner?

Could it be that you can see You Huaijin?

Xia Butterfly sneered, her fingertips stiffened and grasped the cold doorknob, she pushed the door in, and fell silent in the hallway that was larger than the bedroom where she lived.

There were more closets at the door than her whole family combined, and where to change her shoes.

Xia Butterfly was thinking about it, as if she had been aware of her thoughts, and in the rows of black tungsten matte cabinets next to her, suddenly there was a column of silent mechanical sounds, which slowly opened and lowered to the slope.

It is a row of slipper cabinets.

A row of dark gray men's slippers, but only a pair of small beige women's slippers, lonely in the corner.

Xia Kitedie was stunned.

This pair is, He Qiyue's.

Xia Butterfly subconsciously avoided it and picked up a pair of dark gray ones next to her.

After changing into slippers, Xia Butterfly bypassed the entrance screen, stepped into this huge flat-story house, and followed her feelings into the main hall.

Although he knew You Lie's style, it was still more empty and deserted than Xia Kitedie imagined.

In particular, most of the lights in the room were not turned on, only a few faint wall lamps, and she had to avoid tripping over the slippers that were too big for her.

Xia Butterfly finally saw You Lie on the sofa in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window.

The smart home control tablet was casually thrown aside, the man was lying on his back in the low leather sofa, pillowing pillows, black silk loungewear showed that his neckline exposed his neck was whiter and cold, especially against the night scene where the lights were not turned on, like a vampire in an ancient castle.

The "vampire" didn't know if he was drunk or what, and he didn't react when he heard her come in, his bent arms covered his forehead, and his cold white slender wrist bones looked like a hanging work of art.

Before her gaze instinctively became more presumptuous, Xia Butterfly looked away.

She placed the document bag in her hand on the set of high and irregular shaped jade stone coffee tables half a meter in front of the sofa.

"Mr. You, I have put the documents you want on the table, please check them."

Xia Kitese got up and lowered her eyes lightly, "If there is no problem, I will say goodbye-"

"Give it to me." Someone whispered in a dumb voice.

“？”

Xia Kites, who turned around and turned back, was almost a little incredulous, and turned her head to look at the person on the sofa.

But the wrist bone covering the man's eyebrows and eyes was not put down, but the other hand was raised at his side, and the slightly cold ring burned Xia Kite's eyes in the thin night.

As if without waiting for a response, the man lying on his back on the couch snorted.

You Lie lowered his hand and got up.

He turned around, his long legs down on the sofa, and the floor, the textured home trousers hung down with a sharp and cold sheen. But it was too cold for him to pick up from under the broken hair and slowly meet her lacquered eyes.

From the ankles and feet of the summer kite, to the legs, over the waist and hips, and then through the chest, shoulders, and neck.

Xia Butterfly only felt that You Lie was looking extremely slowly, gloomy, and every inch passed as if it was an inch heavier, and finally he met her eyes, which seemed to hide a fierce beast that wanted to tear her apart.

You Lie had never looked at her with such eyes.

But he stared at her like this, and after a few seconds, he actually hooked his lips and smiled a little.

It's just that the smile is so thin that it makes people's hearts chill, and Xia Butterfly almost feels that he will pounce on her and bite her neck.

“……”

Xia Kitedie's intuition is wrong.

It's rare for a fox to have a cowardly moment.

Probably out of the animal instinct of protecting the deadly zone, she subconsciously raised her hand and pressed it to her neck, alert and as quiet as possible not to provoke Youlie.

"Mr. You?"

"You're taking a shower."

The voices of the two men rang out almost in front of each other.

A temptation.

A deep cold.

Reflecting on what she had just heard, Xia Kites's brain was a little blank and a little annoyed.

Is it illegal for her to take a shower?

Without waiting for Xia Kitese to euphemistically raise the question that Party B also has freedom of life, she saw that in front of the sofa, the man got up and hid his face in the dark gloom.

“…… Also changed clothes. ”

His voice was low, light, and slightly hoarse with some emotion.

Xia Butterfly was even more uneasy, she finally couldn't help but take half a step back, frowning: "Mr. You, what do you want to say?" ”

The man finally approached.

He raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, and then his lacquered eyes picked up with a cold and indifferent face, and a look of extreme coldness pinned her to the spot.

Xia Butterfly froze, watching You Lie bend his waist slightly, leaning over, he tilted his head to the side of her neck, his eyes were cold and emotionless, and he sniffed slowly only a few centimeters away from her.

“——”

Those few breaths seemed to crash into Xia Iris's heart.

And You Lie stopped moving, and in front of her, he lifted his eyelashes from the bottom up, revealing his eyes that were blackened by desire.

Like the well of the abyss of the Gu people.

Her cheeks flushed.

“… You Lie! ”

Xia Irisdie, who had come back to her senses, finally remembered to retreat, but it was too late, and the phalanges that You Lie held her wrist were as tight as steel hoops.

"It's a seminar next week, but Miss Xia seems to have a lot of free time."

You Lie softened.

He spoke slowly and coldly, but under his fingerbones he could not resist, and his breath almost burned her, swallowed her, and burned her to ashes.

Xia Irisie struggled unsuccessfully, gritted her teeth and glared at him: "I don't know what Mr. You is talking about." ”

You Lie stopped, his low-hanging eyelashes lifted.

The hideousness hidden in his eyes finally revealed a corner-

"Otherwise, how can I have time to pick up my little boyfriend in the middle of the night and accompany him to the hotel to open a room."

“？”

Xia Kites reacted and suddenly changed her face: "That's just one of my younger brothers." ”

You Lie's eyes were cold: "Do you have a younger brother, I don't know." ”

"He ......"

Xia Kitedie narrowly stopped talking.

She turned her face and closed her eyes, and the scene where He Qiyue took him away in the company lobby tonight came back to her eyes again.

The masochistic pain passed, and reason returned.

Summer Kite took a deep breath and then turned back.

"I don't have to explain my personal relationship and emotional life to you, Mr. You. We don't have any personal relationships anymore. ”

“——”

In the second when You Lie suddenly froze.

Xia Kitese pulled her hand and retreated, she went around to the side and picked up the document bag she brought, pulled out the pile of materials, and patted it against You Lie's chest.
