A foreign city, dear you

"Honey, I need to use my ID card today." Cao Xueqian said again.

"Take it, it's in the drawer." Ye Lian said.

Cao Xueqian opened the drawer and saw the harmonica.

"I forgot to play the harmonica for you last night."

"It's okay. It's so late and you're tired."

"I'll blow it to you another time."

"Ah."

……

The first thing Lanshan did when he got up was to look at his turtle.

Huh? Where is my turtle?

"Mom, where is my turtle?" Lanshan shouted.

"On the balcony." Ye Lian answered in the kitchen.

"Why did you put it on the balcony?" Lanshan asked puzzledly and ran to the balcony.

Ye Lian was too busy to hear.

Lanshan ran to the kitchen again and asked.

"Don't ask. Mom is busy. Go and get ready. You'll have breakfast later. If you go to school late, you'll be late."

During breakfast, Lanshan was unwilling to give in. While stuffing something into his mouth, he asked again: "Mom, why did my turtles run to the balcony? Do they know magic?"

Ye Lian smiled: "Ask your dad."

"Your turtles don't know magic, but they offended the queen of our family, so I sent them to the balcony." Cao Xueqian explained in confusion.

"What's going on?" Lanshan didn't understand, so he asked, "Mom, what happened to Turtle?"

Cao Xueqian continued to explain with a smile: "The two turtles are always crawling around in the turtle tank, making noises that disturb your mother's sleep."

"Is there?" Lanshan seemed unconvinced: "Why can't I hear it?"

"Of course you can't hear it," Cao Xueqian glanced at Lan Shan: "Children are so sleepy that they don't even know they were taken away by bad guys. Can they still hear the sound of a turtle?"

Lanshan smiled and asked: "Dad, what about you? Did it disturb you too?"

"How is that possible?" Cao Xueqian laughed: "It's not easy for dad to wake up even when he's asleep. There's only one sound that can wake me up."

"What's the sound?" Lan Shan was curious.

"It's the sound of your mother calling me. As long as she calls me gently, I wake up. So I have one kind of awakening, that is, being woken up by your mother." Cao Xueqian said and looked at Ye Lian.

Ye Lian smiled.

There is a kind of smile that is cultivated by my husband with love.

Yes, it was really difficult for him.

Whoever tries it knows how it feels to be woken up while sleeping soundly.

***********************

August is the hottest time.

It was a Saturday in late August. In the morning, go to Heiyang Ridge along the city.

Black Sheep Ridge is a relatively large mountain range. It is winding and stretching, vast and vast, with three main peaks, large and small.

Xianxia Peak is the second main peak.

There are several boulders and a platform on the top of the peak.

The boulders are either lying horizontally or standing upright, with different postures.

There is a two-story sightseeing pavilion on the platform with raised eaves and corners, which is ethereal and beautiful.

Whether it was on the boulders, the stone benches on the platform, or the benches in the pavilion, there were people sitting and resting.

These people were uniformly dressed in blue T-shirts with the word "Lijin" printed on their chests.

Yes, these people are all employees of Lijin Company, and today is the team building day of Lijin Company.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the bus rented by the company took everyone to the foot of Heiyang Ridge. After everyone gathered, they headed to the top of the mountain as a department and decided to gather at Xianxia Peak.

Now, people from all walks of life have climbed to the top of the mountain one after another and come to Xianxia Peak to meet.

The sun is in the sky and the weather is hot. The dense woods are airtight, making people feel suffocatingly hot.

Climbing a mountain on such a hot day is really a test of perseverance.

Everyone was tired and hot from climbing, sweating profusely and panting. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, I immediately found a place to catch my breath and rest.

Cao Xueqian and the people from the Structure Department have also climbed to the top of the mountain.

There are a total of twelve people in the Structure Department, but excluding Guo Zi and another person who asked for leave, there are exactly ten people.

Although Cao Xueqian was a little tired, he did not sit down.

But Cheng Dianfei was so tired that he sat down on the stone bench.

It was windy on the top of the mountain, so she wanted to sit down and cool off.

Cao Xueqian walked out of the platform and came to a huge stone.

The boulder is on the edge of the cliff. The top is wide and flat. You can stand and sit on it, but it is not easy to get up.

Cao Xueqian became very playful and wanted to go to the boulder to have a look.

He took a slight run, using the inertia of his two long legs, taking three steps and two steps, and then using his hands to tap lightly, he was as agile as a monkey and climbed up in one go.

Then, he stood on the boulder with his arms akimbo and his legs spread apart, looking into the distance, showing a sense of pride that everything is under my feet.

Cheng Dianfei's eyes have been following Cao Xueqian's figure.

His agile and vigorous figure made her admire him even more.

Cheng Dianfei likes various company activities because it gives her a convenient opportunity to be with Cao Xueqian.

Although she was always with Cao Xueqian in the office and at work.

But after all, the work itself is serious and rigid, and cannot be casualized in daily life. All conversations revolve around work, which is formal and mechanical, with little fun and little emotion.

Activities are different. You can put aside work and show your original appearance in life. That is the true appearance of a person.

Cheng Dianfei prefers to see Cao Xueqian's real life outside of work, his casual, active and humorous appearance.

Of course, she watched and liked it silently.

She painfully knew that in this life, he could only be her distant view and her white moonlight.

He is just her leader and her colleague. The intersection between them can only exist at work;

At most, we can participate in some group activities together, but only in group activities.

The time spent alone with him that can be imprinted in my mind is as rare as morning stars, rare and can never be repeated.

That brief farewell after the annual meeting, that brief moment of sharing umbrellas in the rain, have become a thing of the past and a treasure in her mind.

How many times had she impulsively wanted to ignore it, but she turned out to be a coward when it came to taking action;

How many times did she want to cut off her love, but the more she cut, the more confused she became, and the more she cut, the more helpless she became;

How many times had she decided to leave him, but there were countless excuses that kept her from taking a step forward.

The days pass by day by day, and the feelings grow day by day.

Oh, sweetheart, the person I love deeply, when will you understand my undying love?

This time for team building, we were going to climb Heiyang Ridge. Although Cheng Dianfei was afraid of getting tanned and tired from climbing the mountain, she wanted to be with Cao Xueqian and spend more time seeing and hearing him. Without any hesitation, she followed the others over the mountains and ridges.

There were only two women in the entire structural department, and Guo Zi asked for leave on the pretext of feeling unwell, so there was only one woman, Cheng Dianfei.

Along the way, Cheng Dianfei followed closely behind Cao Xueqian. It was him who gave her infinite strength to climb the Xianxia Ridge together with her male colleagues.
