Time flies like quicksand. In the twinkling of an eye, from spring to summer, three months are so calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging past.

That evening, the summer solstice looked up wearily from a lot of documents and found Pei Yaochen sitting opposite her. He put his legs on his legs calmly and crossed his hands in front of him, gazing at her affectionately.

"When did you come?" she smiled in surprise and raised her arm back to stretch.

After a long time of writing at her desk, she felt pain all over her body.

"An hour ago." Pei Yaochen got up with a smile and walked behind her to massage her shoulders.

"Came an hour ago? Just sat opposite me and stared for an hour? Pei Yaochen, are you a peeper?" Xia Zhi stared at him in surprise.

"I don't call it peeping. I call it looking at you squarely. You are so beautiful." Pei Yaochen smiled proudly.

Xia Zhi sighed, "Pei Yaochen, do you know? Every time I talk to you, I feel very contradictory."

"What contradiction?"

"You look like a tall, cold and boring person, but you always say a few romantic and warm words from time to time. This makes you look like a contradiction and makes people who listen to you feel that all this is not realistic."

"Unrealistic? That's why you haven't been willing to make a formal relationship with me?" Pei Yaochen stopped and leaned over to look at her.

Looking at her closely, her skin is so good that she can hardly see the pores. It's white and tender. It seems that she can pinch out a pool of water with a pinch.

Summer solstice nodded thoughtfully, "maybe. Your whole portrait is covered with a layer of yarn. There is always a feeling that I can't see through."

"But even so, you still reduced many parties for me. What does this mean?" Pei Yaochen's lips got closer and closer.

The summer solstice picked up the folder, blocked his mouth, smiled and said, "it means I really need to spend a lot of time to understand you. As for whether I can really penetrate your heart in the end, it depends on my ability and your openness."

"So, can't decide anything?" he raised his eyebrow and didn't like the cold folder on his lips.

"Yes. Nothing can be decided!" summer solstice got up, went to the window, stretched a big stretch and said, "I forgot to tell you that I really can't eat with you tonight. There is an important customer from New York. I have to pick up the plane myself and have dinner with him."

"What important customer? Don't I know? Can I go together? Don't worry, I promise I won't interrupt when you talk about important things!" Pei Yaochen said and closed his mouth.

"I'm sorry. It's highly confidential. You're not my partner in this project, so it's really not suitable to take you to attend." Xia solstice said apologetically, "please come back. I have to change my clothes and go directly to the airport."

Pei Yaochen frowned, "shall I drive you to the airport?"

"It's really not necessary. Ah Zheng can send me. I'm sorry. Excuse me, I have to change my clothes. Help yourself!" Xia solstice said and hurried to one side of the bedroom.

Watching her enter the house and close the door, Pei Yaochen was speechless and helpless.

For her, he really often feels powerless.

Before her injury was not well. Before she came to work, they were together almost 24 hours a day. She looked gentle and charming, and often had the illusion that he had married her and had children.

Although that kind of life is very plain, it is warm and beautiful, so that he can sleep contentedly and sweetly every night.

The nightmares that once haunted him no longer.

This makes him really want to spend his whole life.

But the reality is too cruel. As soon as she gets well, she immediately goes to work, and it's almost a crazy model.

She said that she had taken a long break during this period, and many of her work lagged behind, so she had to start the desperate Saburo mode.

It is also stipulated that if he doesn't have to talk about work, he can't easily appear in her office, only once a week at most.

Of course he didn't take it seriously and tried all kinds of excuses to appear in her office, but every time she was so busy that she regarded him as nothing.

His sense of existence is really quite weak.

If he hadn't deliberately urged the child to call her every day and asked her to go home for dinner, he estimated that she might have forgotten him to Java in her busy work.

This made him feel the frustration he had never felt in his life.

Recently, this frustration has become more and more serious.

It was so serious that he questioned her.

Wait, is the person she wants to see really just a client?

Will there be an unusual relationship between them?

Thinking of so many ambiguous relationships that she couldn't explain before, he couldn't help feeling inexplicable anxiety.

He thought for a moment, turned and walked out quickly.

Half an hour later, Pei Yaochen sat in the car and saw Xia Zhi coming out of the elevator alone.

She was well dressed, wearing a black strapless, tight jumpsuit and skirt, revealing exquisite and attractive collarbones, and a pair of slender and straight snow-white legs.

Although she hung a long white silk scarf around her neck, blocking a lot of scenery in front of her chest, her concave convex figure made him uncomfortable. She just felt like she was naked and seductive.

It's just to meet customers. You can dress dignified and decent. Is it necessary to dress so attractive?

Pei Yaochen bit his teeth depressed, but did not take action.

After watching the summer solstice drive away, she followed her car not far away.

The summer solstice sped all the way, looking at the car immediately behind in the rearview mirror while driving and sneering.

I really didn't expect Pei Yaochen to follow him.

It seems that he really doesn't trust himself.

That's good. At least it proves that he really cares about her.

Forty minutes later, the summer solstice swayed at the pick-up port, waved to a man in light gray casual clothes who came out of the gate, smiled happily and said, "Lucian! Here!"

Lucian was still wearing sunglasses at the beginning and walked with cool eyes. When she heard her voice, she immediately followed the voice. It seemed that when she saw that she was particularly beautiful in the crowd, she was overjoyed and immediately waved and accelerated her pace.

But in the blink of an eye, he had stood smiling in front of her.

"You're here at last!" the summer solstice jumped into his arms happily and gave him a warm kiss.

Lucian was a smart man. He kissed back and smiled in her ear and asked, "did he follow you?"

"Smart!" summer solstice smiled, took his arm and walked out, as if nothing had happened, "how many days are you going to stay this time?"

"A week, or half a month. It depends on Fran's schedule. This time I came to play for him first!" Lucian said with a smile.

"Really? You're really a 24-hour boyfriend."

"Are there any wonderful arrangements for today?" Lucian asked excitedly when he got into the car.

"I'll take you to eat all the delicious food in China these days. Today, let's eat the Sichuan food you've been talking about!" Xia solstice starts the car with a smile.

When she drove out of the garage, she saw Pei Yaochen's car following closely behind.

Arriving at the Sichuan restaurant, Lucian walked to the summer solstice when he got off the bus and said in a low voice, "have you noticed that a car has been following us here."

"Unexpectedly, you are very alert. Rest assured. There is no threat. It's just Pei Yaochen." Xia Zhi smiled and took his hand and walked in side by side.

"It seems that you haven't let him really catch up," Lucian smiled. "Isn't the rhythm too slow at the summer solstice?"

"I'm waiting for the right and reasonable time." Xia solstice poured wine for him with a light smile.

"When is the right and reasonable time? Don't you think it's a waste of your life to spend so much time with him? Summer solstice, you are the smartest girl I've ever seen. You should have a better and brighter life instead of living such a dark life all day." Lucian frowned slightly.

"It won't be long. Maybe it will arrive soon." summer solstice's eyes suddenly saw a familiar and thin figure passing by, and couldn't help but curl his lips and smile coldly.

I left in such a hurry. I'm afraid I don't want her to see it?

I was pretending.

"What do you say?" asked Lucian suspiciously.

"Secret." summer solstice smiled and pointed to the boiled fish on the table. "Try the boiled fish quickly and see what's different from what you eat in New York."

Lucian took a piece and put it into his mouth. He just felt it was tender and refreshing. He couldn't help eating more pieces. Just before long, he pointed to his mouth and said with some difficulty, "it's so numb."

"Of course! The owner of this restaurant and the guys here are all authentic Sichuan people. The pepper and other spices they use here come directly from Sichuan. In particular, the pepper is green. It's just picked this year, and the taste is naturally much heavier than those dried in the sun. You can't stand it for the first time. Hurry up Have a drink of lemonade! "Summer solstice smiled and quickly poured him a glass of lemonade and handed it to him.

He drank it up a few mouthfuls and still felt that his mouth was numb and spicy. "The taste is really beyond the endurance of ordinary people."

"It's natural. But as long as you eat more, you'll be addicted! Do you know that many foreigners don't want to go to China because they can't leave the food here?" Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"Are you going to keep me?"

"I'd like to, but it's not realistic. Because I don't know when I have to leave here." Xia solstice's smile became a little stiff.

"As long as you are cruel, you don't have to leave at all!" Lucian said meaningfully.

"Say it again!" the summer solstice waved in annoyance. "We seldom see each other. Let's not say these disappointing words today. Let's eat quickly. After eating, I'll show you the night market here."

"Good!"

Looking at the appearance that the summer solstice and Lucian talked happily in the restaurant, Pei Yaochen was jealous. He really wanted to rush in and cross them, but when he thought about the agreement with her, he stubbornly suppressed this impulse.

After all, they had an agreement. After all, she had not given him any commitment. If he rushed to disturb them, he would only make her underestimate herself. Maybe her efforts in the previous months would be written off.

Therefore, no matter how jealous, painful, unwilling, he must bear it.
