After work, Lin Wan Bai climbed up to the top floor like a snail.
Breathing heavily, she fished out the key from her bag. It was a move that was repeated every day, but today, she felt exceptionally lonely. She especially turned around to look at the anti-theft door.
After dinner, the sky gradually darkened.
Huo Chang Yuan had already landed and sent her a message informing his that he was safe, but he seemed to be very busy, saying that he would call her later.
On the television, there was a program that did not have any nutrition. Lin Wan Bai could not bear to watch it any longer, but he felt that every second was unbearable.
Especially after circling the room twice, there were only the sounds of her own footsteps. She thought for a moment, then took her key to go out, and took the bus to her best friend, Sang Xiao Yu's residential area.
"Coming, coming!"
After pressing the doorbell, Sang Xiao Yu's lively voice came from inside.
Because he didn't greet her in advance when he arrived, he was a bit startled when he saw her, "Eh? Lil 'White, why did you come over so late at night? "
"Xiaoyu, I plan to live with you tonight!" Lin Wan Bai also did not explain, but said directly.
"No way!" Sang Xiao Yu rejected him without even thinking.
"Why not?" Lin Wan Bai frowned.
"Did you quarrel with Hutong?" Sang Xiao Yu asked instead of answering.
"Nope." Lin Wan Bai explained helplessly, "He is away on a business trip, to Macau, he needs a week's time! There's no point for me to be at home by myself, I might as well come and accompany you! "You don't welcome me this much …"
"Sure!" After Sang Xiao Yu heard this, she instantly changed her mind.
Lin Wan Bai squinted his eyes, "Xiaoyu, are you sure that there's nothing going on between Huo Chang Yuan and I behind my back?"
"I did not! "Don't accuse people so unjustly, I swear to Chairman Mao!"
Sang Xiao Yu raised his hand with an exaggerated look, but her eyes were flickering, as though she was afraid of exposing herself, and immediately reached out to pull her in, passing the slippers over to divert her attention.
After a bath, the two of them lay down on the comfortable mattress and started talking about their college days.
Gradually, Sang Xiao Yu's eyelids started to fight, but she continued to pull him along. "Xiao Bai, can't you still sleep?
"Say a few more words with me!" Lin Wan Bai bit her lips, not wanting to let it go so easily.
They chatted for another half an hour. Even though she had yawned, she had no intention of sleeping.
Sang Xiao Yu held onto the little alarm clock, feeling resentful, "We have already missed the best time for beauty sleep. If we don't sleep now, we better wake up tomorrow and be careful of getting wrinkles! Then let's see if Hutong still wants you! "
Lin Wan Bai still did not sleep, until the phone in her hand started to vibrate.
Looking at the screen, she suddenly became energetic. Her eyes lit up and she held it up to her ear. "... Hello? Are you done? "
"Still awake?"
"Mm …"
Huo Chang Yuan laughed softly, "Hehe, waiting for me?"
"No …" Lin Wan Bai denied it, but it sounded unconvincing, as she blushed and changed the topic, "Have you already returned to the hotel?"
"Yes, I just came back and haven't changed yet." "There are a lot of things to do. Since the person in charge of this case is in trouble and has been replaced temporarily, it will take some time to get used to!" Huo Chang Yuan's calm voice was low, but it revealed a hint of tiredness.
Lin Wan Bai heard it and said quickly, "Then you should go take a shower and rest quickly!"
Huo Chang Yuan seemed to agree quietly, but after a while, the line continued to connect.
"Ugh …" Lin Wan Bai looked at it and was a little suspicious: "Huo Chang Yuan, why are you not hanging up?"
She knew how overbearing he was, he had to hang up first every time, and she had never dared to hang up on him.
"What are you doing now?" Huo Chang Yuan asked instead of answering.
Lin Wan Bai changed her posture, and answered truthfully, "I came to Xiaoyu's place, and now, I'm lying on the bed …"
With that said, the breathing on the circuit seemed to have increased several times.
"You want to seduce me on the phone?" Huo Chang Yuan's voice sounded a little hoarse again.
"…" How could she!
Lin Wan Bai felt extremely wronged, afraid that he would say something hot next, and hurriedly said, "It's getting late, go to sleep. I'm also tired, so I still have to go to work tomorrow …"
Huo Chang Yuan acknowledged and then hung up.
Lin Wan Bai turned over and saw that Sang Xiao Yu's face was filled with hidden bitterness.
Sang Xiao Yu had finally understood why she was so tired from staying up for so long. She was now tired like a dog, and then, she would be abused like a dog by their phone call.
"Please, can I please choose noon from now on?"
"Why?" She didn't understand.
"Because sooner or later, I will be struck by lightning!" Sang Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and groaned.
"…" The corner of Lin Wan Bai's mouth twitched.
Just as she was about to mock her, her phone vibrated again. However, it was a short message, and it was still Huo Chang Yuan. There were two words on it: Good night!
Lin Wan Bai didn't have any time to bother with her anymore. He turned back around and started to edit the text message on his phone with curved eyebrows.
Sang Xiao Yu held onto her chest with internal injuries.
How brutal!
The next three days, Lin Wan Bai felt that he passed by very slowly.
Huo Chang Yuan would call her sooner or later. The two talked for a short while, but when he seemed to have gotten used to it, or if he did not receive his call, he would feel uneasy.
This morning, her cell phone rang just as she entered her office.
On the other side of the line, he seemed to be walking as well, with steady footsteps. However, even though it was in the morning, his usually quiet voice sounded tired.
"Are you tired?"
Huo Chang Yuan replied, "Mn, I didn't sleep well these two days."
"Is it too busy?" Lin Wan Bai bit his lips, and even the movement of pulling out a chair was slower by half a beat.
"On one side." Huo Chang Yuan replied blandly. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "The main reason is because I have been unable to sleep at night for the past two days."
"How can I not sleep when I'm fine?" Lin Wan Bai frowned.
Huo Chang Yuan did not immediately return. There was a complete silence on the other side of the line.
"I missed you."
Suddenly, these two words were thrown over.
Lin Wan Bai almost could not hold onto the smartphone in her hands, half of her ears were boiling hot. Even with such a long distance between them, she could feel the fire burning behind the word.
Someone reported something to him respectfully, and he hurriedly said, "I'm going to have a meeting."
After hanging up, Lin Wan Bai slowly let out a breath.
She looked up and saw that many of her colleagues had come in one after another. The supervisor just happened to be walking into her office with a briefcase in hand.
Lin Wan Bai's fingers clenched slightly, as if she was thinking about something. When she relaxed again, it seemed like she had already made her decision. She did not sit down, but followed the supervisor into the office.
She came out about ten minutes later.
With light footsteps, Lin Wan Bai picked up his phone, his voice trembling slightly from the excitement, "Hello, Xiaoyu, can you help me book a flight ticket for Zhang Fei-Macau?"
