On the afternoon before the banquet, Xia Li was busy putting the finishing touches on the exhibition.

The mobile phone placed in the pile of materials on the side vibrated several times in a row, and did not interrupt the movement of her hand.

At the entrance of Beijing University, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in the middle of the gate.

The windows were lowered slowly, and the beautiful elbows poked out of the windows, lazily resting.

A little scarlet between the knobby fingertips flickered in the occasional hot summer breeze.

Xie Yin held his mobile phone and pushed the car door to get out of the car, and slowly brought the cigarette in his hand to his mouth.

The thin lips bit the cigarette butt, and the deep eyes narrowed slightly and closed the car door behind him.

The man leaned lazily against the car, and blue-white smoke wafted in front of him.

Xie Yin lowered his eyes and looked at several [Canceled] words on the screen in a row, and pressed out the last cigarette on his fingertips.

Thinking that Xia Li was probably busy and didn't pay attention, Xie Yin was not annoyed, and was about to go directly to the exhibition hall to find her when the mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang.

"Mr. Xie, did you call me?" Xia Liluo's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I was busy finishing my work just now, and I didn't pay attention to my phone." ”

Xia Li, who was standing in the booth, took out a napkin from his bag with one hand, bit the tissue package, took out a piece of paper from it, and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.

Because she was in a hurry to explain to Xie Yin, she spoke with a little rapid panting that even she hadn't noticed.

The man's Adam's apple rolls up and down, and his voice is clear and beautiful:

"I'm at the school gate."

"Huh?"

Xia Li's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone, and Xie Yin's eyes were dyed with a shallow smile.

"The dress has been sent to Ting Garden, and I happened to pass by after a meeting, and I wanted to take Miss Xia to try it out to see if the dress fits."

Xia Li almost trotted to the school gate.

She stopped when she was still a short distance away from the man, took a breath and walked in front of Xie Yin.

"Mr. Xie, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

If she hadn't happened to send a message to Chu Shishi, she wouldn't have found out that Xie Yin had actually made so many calls to herself.

"It's fine."

Xie Yin walked sideways to the co-pilot's door, raised his hand to open the co-pilot's door, and motioned for Xia Li to sit in.

Xia Li was stunned for a moment before leaning over and sitting in the car.

She looked around the car for a week, only to find that Xie Yin not only did not take the driver today, but also directly changed to a car.

It wasn't until Xie Yin closed the door of the driver's seat that Xia Li spoke:

"Mr. Xie has a new car?"

The man answered, and replied without changing his face:

"The one before was sent for maintenance."

Xia Li nodded and didn't say anything more.

Tingyuan is a long distance away from Beijing University, and no one in the car opened his mouth to break the quiet atmosphere, only the sound of each other's shallow breathing.

The sunlight shone in from the car window and fell on Xia Li's body, which made Xia Li a little drowsy for a while.

The calm and low voice on the side slowly came into her ears the moment Xia Li closed her eyes:

"Want to listen to a song?"

"Huh?" Xia Li opened his sleepy eyes and turned to look at the man beside him.

I have to say that Xie Yin's hands are really good-looking.

At the moment, he has one hand on the steering wheel, and his slender fingertips look extremely good in the sun.

He casually turned his head sideways to meet Xia Li's gaze, and stretched out his hand to click on the electronic screen in front of him:

"There is still a distance to Tingyuan, if you want to listen to the song, you can connect to Bluetooth."

Xia Li withdrew his gaze from the man's good-looking hands, and silently took out his mobile phone from his pocket and connected it to Bluetooth in the car.

She chose Miriam Yang's "Big Things in a Small Town" from her favorite song list.

I remember that this song happened to be swiped in the daily recommendation in the music software the night before she went to Hong Kong City, and she thought it was good and put it in her favorite playlist.

Later, when she was painting the manuscript of the design exhibition, she often played this song.

The soothing prelude slowly sounded in the carriage, and Xia Li turned his head to look out the window at the rapidly receding green belt.

Xie Yin's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the girl who was looking out the window, and the corners of her mouth rose a little imperceptibly.

When I arrived at Tingyuan, the maid opened the car door intimately.

As soon as Xia Li got out of the car, he saw the "white cotton" running not far away obediently stopping next to the man's legs.

Xia Li recognized it as the snow-white Samoyed on Xie Yin's WeChat profile picture.

Samoyed wagged his tail and rubbed his hairy head against the man's trousers: "Wang." ”

Xie Yin squatted down and scratched Samoyed's chin, raising his head to look at Xia Li who was standing in front.

"Didn't you say you wanted to touch it last time, so you want to try it?"

"But, is that okay?" Xia Li looked at the lovely Samoyed grinning in front of him, and was a little moved.

"Of course."

Xia Li walked over to the man's side and squatted down, cautiously reaching out his hand.

Halfway through his hand, his gaze met Samoyed's clear, bright eyes and suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Looking at the girl's sudden stoppage, Xie Yin looked at her sideways: "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's okay," Xia Li curled up his hand in the air slightly, and whispered, "I'm just worried about whether it won't like to be touched by strangers." ”

After all, even if the dog is cute and obedient, it is still in front of the owner, and some dogs may be wary of strangers.

A low voice rang in the girl's ears.

"No, it won't."

The man reached out and grabbed her wrist, which was held in mid-air, and led her to gently touch the snow-white hair of the Samoyed in front of her.

There was a warm touch on his wrist, and Xia Li's breath stagnated.

The eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the place where the man touched it seemed to ignite a prairie fire in an instant, and it burned to her cheeks with it.

Her ears were a little hot, and her heart beat a little faster as she watched her knobby palms holding her hand and gently rubbing it against Samoyed's snow-white and soft hair.

Xie Yin let go of the hand holding Xia Li in time, and said casually:

"He doesn't bite."

The Samoyed in front of him seemed to enjoy Xia Li's touch, and his round head rubbed against the girl's palm.

Xia Li was so cute by this little guy, with a bright smile on his face, he looked sideways at the man beside him:

"It's so cute, does it have a name?"

The man hooked his lips and looked at the girl with a smile: "Yes, it's called Coconut Eye." ”

Xia Li rubbed Samoyed's round head again:

"Coconut?"

As if she understood, Ye Ye wagged her tail and barked twice at Xia Li.

-

Xie Yin took Xia Li into the house and led her up to the cloakroom on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, Xia Li saw at a glance the burgundy dress that was hanging on the hanger and ironing it neatly.

The man reached out and took the dress off the hanger and handed it to Xia Li:

"Give it a try and see if it fits."

Xia Li took the dress from the man's hand and looked at the man in front of him.

Xie Yin paced out of the cloakroom, his fingers on the doorknob, and his thin lips opened slightly:

"I'll be waiting for you at the door."

The voice fell, and the man closed the door.

When Xia Li, who had changed his clothes, opened the door and came out, he didn't see Xie Yin in the corridor.

Her hands lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and she walked down the hallway to the end.

Looking down from above, her eyes fell on the man who was sitting lazily on the couch with his legs folded.

The man in the living room downstairs took off his blazer and put it aside, leaning back on the sofa in a dignified posture, looking at the laptop resting on his lap.

Sensing her gaze, Xie Yin looked up at her.

As soon as they went up and down, their eyes collided through the air.

Dressed in a burgundy suspender velvet gown, she was appropriately cut to outline her waist to the fullest.

The burgundy fabric lined her skin as white as snow, and there were large patches of fair skin on her chest and collarbones.

It's empty, missing a bit of ornamental embellishment.

Just by glancing, Xie Yin only felt a little itchy in his throat.

Without a trace, he took his eyes off the girl, closed the notebook on his lap and set it aside, raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of pretending to be calm.

Immediately after, the man stood up from the sofa on his knees, took the velvet box on the table in his hand, and slowly walked up the steps to Xia Li's side.

"Mr. Xie."

For some reason, Xia Li felt a little embarrassed to stand beside the man in this dress.

She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look at the man's eyes.

The mellow and deep voice was like a vague and numb electric current gently brushing Xia Li's ears:

"This dress flatters you very well."

The girl's fair and beautiful face was a faint crimson.

The man's gaze was fixed on her flushed cheeks, and the Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Xie Yin opened the black velvet box in his hand and took out the diamond necklace in the box.

The man's slender fingers hooked the necklace and shook it slightly.

He came behind the girl, leaned a little closer to the girl's back, and gently helped her put on the necklace.

Xie Yin's sudden approach made Xia Li's whole person freeze directly in place.

The crisp and clean scent of ebony enveloped her, and the strings in her brain were suddenly torn off and became blank.

A cold feeling came from his neck that brought Xia Li back to his senses.

She subconsciously lowered her eyes to see the diamond necklace fall on her skin, glowing with the light.

The man's fingertips inadvertently touched the skin on the back of her neck, like electricity rushing straight into her limbs.

Xia Li's ears were slightly hot without any breath.

Xie Yin lowered his eyes and looked at the tips of the girl's reddened ears, and deliberately leaned a little closer.

The low-alcohol voice accompanied by the warm breath of the man sounded in the girl's ears unhurriedly:

"It's beautiful."

The air is mixed with an ambiguous smell that is fermenting uncontrollably, spreading in wisps.

The warm breath sprayed on the skin around her neck, causing Xia Li's eyelashes to tremble slightly.

The crimson on his face hadn't had time to fall, but it was once again hot with the man's simple two words.

Xia Li opened his lips, trying to find his voice: "Xie, Mr. Xie....."

The girl's soft voice came into Xie Yin's ears with shame, gently and softly like a feather blown by the breeze.

The man's eyes behind him were gloomy, and his slightly constricted eyes covered up the unknown bad thoughts in his heart, and he returned to the noble and cold appearance he usually had.

Xie Yin grasped the proportion, took a step back, and pulled the direct distance between the two of them a little.

Xia Li turned around with a red face, and there was a bit of shame in her amber eyes.

"I ....."

The girl "I" couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Xie Yin saw through her confusion at the moment, raised her hand to glance at the time on her watch, and slowly raised her eyes to meet the girl in front of her.

"It's not too early, Miss Xia will stay for a meal, and I'll send you back."
