Pretending to be cute

Xiao Ling woke up in a violent jolt.

The road was so bad, and it rained heavily last night, it was full of potholes and mud.The bus swayed non-stop, rolling up high mud where it passed, and occasionally crushing large stones, and the wheels would make harsh friction sounds.

"Grandma, you finally woke up. Everyone in the car was shaken to the point of complaining, but you are the only one who sleeps soundly, and you can't be shaken." Li Yusheng who was beside him handed over the water bottle.

Finding that Xiao Ling only rubbed his eyes and didn't pick up the water bottle, and looked like he hadn't woken up, he felt a little nervous again, touched Xiao Ling's forehead, and said worriedly: "Your complexion is so bad, don't be sick... hey, don't Ignore me, but tell me, you don’t lack the opportunity to practice this, and you didn’t tell my sister when you came back to China, you are so mysterious, what exactly do you want to do?”

As soon as the chatterer started chattering like a machine gun, Xiao Ling's head hurt from hearing it, and he turned slightly to avoid Li Yusheng's hand, put his fingers on his lips, and made a silent movement.

Only then did Li Yusheng remember that he was still in the car, surrounded by colleagues, so he couldn't help but calm down.Fortunately, because of the bad road conditions, other people were talking on the phone or talking, making a lot of noise, and no one paid attention to Xiao Ling and Li Yusheng in the last row.

But before he had settled down for 2 minutes, Li Yusheng leaned closer to Xiao Ling's ear and whispered, "Are you really okay? After sleeping for so long, don't be suffering from heat stroke."

"It's okay, I'm not that expensive, I just returned to China, and my schedule hasn't adjusted yet." Xiao Ling shook his head and looked out the window.

"Work and rest, it's okay, okay. If you are really sick, I will have to be scraped off..." Li Yusheng muttered in a low voice.

Xiao Ling's ears were sharp, he chewed these words in his heart, even though he tasted the sweetness, he didn't show anything on his face, he just silently estimated the distance.

There is still a part of the dirt road on the winding mountain road. After passing it, there is a flat avenue. When the speed of the car increases, people with a full car will no longer have to experience the feeling of a roller coaster.

But now, it's not much better.

He was too full to sleep anymore, and the problem of motion sickness was exposed. Xiao Ling grabbed the armrest on the right side, frowned, feeling a little nauseous.

Subconsciously, she groped for the inside of the backpack, but only found the phone's charger and notebook—she forgot to buy lemon candy again.

"Well, do you want some of this?" Li Yusheng noticed that Xiao Ling's face was getting more and more ugly, as if thinking of something, he patted his thigh, took out a round yellow box from his pocket, unpacked it and handed it to she.

Xiao Ling trembled all over, and the chaos in his eyes disappeared.She stared blankly at the box as if she hadn't heard what he said.

After a while, Xiao Ling took the box and asked in a deep voice, "Who gave you this candy?"

The listless person just now became a bit fierce when he got serious.Li Yusheng didn't expect that if he took out the candy box, he would be in danger of falling off the horse, and immediately said with flickering eyes: "No one, I, I bought it myself."

Xiao Ling had a half-smile: "I like it so much, why didn't you unpack it before?"

"Hey, I just buy it once in a while. I don't like it much. It's normal to forget it." Li Yusheng laughed, put on his earphones and went to listen to music, but he kept looking at the girl beside him from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that Li Yusheng was a little nervous, Xiao Ling smiled in a low voice, and didn't make things difficult for him anymore. After rubbing the candy box for a while, he knew what to expect.

She quite liked this lie.

Xiao Ling poured out a round lemon candy from the candy box, threw it into his mouth, pulled off the blindfold, and closed his eyes again to rest his mind.

Sour and sweet.

Does the person she misses feel the same way?

An hour later, the bus finally passed the most difficult section and got on the Panshan Highway.Looking at the dead horse running on the mountain, looking at the distance that can be reached, I just went around and around, and I didn't arrive at the cross-river bridge until after dusk.

This is not only a river-crossing bridge, but also a traffic bridge leading to Mingping Hydropower Station.The vehicles went around to the parking lot of the hydropower station from the other end of the bridge, and they wanted to descend vertically from the ladder next to the bridge to the main entrance of the factory building of Mingping Hydropower Station.

Mingping Hydropower Station is Xiao Ling's destination this time.

"I know you are all tired, but Mingping's staff is still waiting for us. After arranging your accommodation, you can go to eat. If you want to eat early, please put on your hard hat and go down!" The leading supervisor said Shout out the trumpet.

This sentence successfully ignited everyone's enthusiasm, even those who complained that they were too tired to move, now walked down the ladder energetically.

The number of people staying on the bridge gradually decreased.

Xiao Ling put on her helmet and stood at the end of the line. When the person in front took a step, she took a step, slowly like a snail.Li Yusheng followed by, secretly took a picture, and clicked to send.

In the next second, the other party transferred 300 yuan.

Li Yusheng was happy, and quickly ordered to collect the money, but the sound of setting the money into the account was too loud, and Xiao Ling in front looked over in surprise.

"My friend paid me back." Li Yusheng's palms were sweating. He tried not to feel so guilty, shook his phone, and explained quickly.

"Oh." Xiao Ling nodded.

Fearing that Xiao Ling would not believe it, Li Yusheng added another sentence: "Someone you don't know."

Originally, she didn't want to meddle in Li Yusheng's personal affairs, but this extra explanation caught Xiao Ling's attention. She tilted her head and said meaningfully: "Of course I don't know your friend...or, in other words, I Should we know each other?"

Following Xiao Ling's movements, the helmet also tilted.She is not tall, and she is small. The hard hat is too big for her. Even if the headband is tightened, it still dangles and blocks her eyes.

Li Yusheng swallowed his saliva, not daring to guess if Xiao Ling had noticed something, secretly hated that the words just now were shooting himself in the foot, so he could only smirk: "No, no, I'm dizzy, hehe. "

The corners of Xiao Ling's lips curled slightly, and he continued to follow the crowd without saying anything.Li Yusheng heaved a sigh of relief, and felt that he had concealed it, so he quickly took out his phone and started typing.

[Little Brother Li: Sister, Lingling is so smart, I feel like I can't hide it! 】

Back there quickly.

[Boss Li: Xiao Ling. 】

Li Yusheng had a confused expression on his face. He didn't know what the other party wanted to express. He just thought that he hadn't finished speaking, so he waited patiently.After waiting for several minutes, the stairs were halfway down, and there was still no response from there, so he felt something was wrong.

[Little Brother Li: Wait a minute, don't tell me, what you meant just now is that you can't be called Lingling, you should be called Xiao Ling, right? 】

This time the people over there didn't reply in a second.

Li Yusheng saw that the input was on and on, on and off, jumping back and forth like a traffic light, and felt a little strange joy for no reason.

He really wanted to know, what expression would his cousin, who was always expressionless, have at this moment?Unfortunately, before he could figure out the result, the phone vibrated.

[Boss Li: I have something to do, I need to trouble you. 】

Following the series of messages, Li Yusheng opened his eyes wide.

Since the greetings were made in advance, Mingping's staff didn't spend too much unnecessary time greeting them. After saying a few polite words, they sent someone to take them to the dormitory.

Xiao Ling listened to the staff's official explanation all the way, and looked around from time to time.

Mingping Hydropower Station is a well-known hydraulic hub in D City. People often come to visit and exchange studies. It is common to stay for a period of time, so enough rooms are specially reserved. Although Xiao Ling and the others are quite a number, they are more than enough.

While waiting for the arrangement, Li Yusheng went to the toilet, Xiao Ling was a little bored.She had only come to the company not long ago and didn't know anyone, so she simply picked up her phone to answer the email.Just after returning the greeting from a foreign friend, the two colleagues at the front called her name.

Xiao Ling put away the phone, looked at the taller Cheng Ji: "Excuse me, what can I do?" He said politely and alienated.

Cheng Ji glared at Fu Hua who was winking beside him, took a breath, and rubbed his hands together awkwardly: "Well, Xiao Ling, I, Fu Hua and I's room is next to you, oh, Fu Hua is the one next to me People. Well... If you have any difficulties, you can call me, us."

Cheng Ji and Xiao Ling were the same age, since Xiao Ling entered the company as an intern, he found that this person always stared at him, and the emotion hidden in those eyes was very familiar to Xiao Ling.

Only, it has nothing to do with her.

Xiao Ling raised his head and glanced at Cheng Ji indifferently, neither refusing nor agreeing: "Okay, thank you."

Cheng Ji was a little discouraged by this distant attitude, and his heart shuddered even more at that glance.For some reason, he always felt that Xiao Ling had seen through his intentions.

But looking at it carefully, Xiao Ling clearly looked obedient again, even because he didn't speak, he looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Cheng Ji thought to himself that he was thinking too much.

Before he could think of what to say next, he heard Xiao Ling ask again: "By the way, how do you know that my room is adjacent to yours?"

Cheng Ji came to his senses: "The previous supervisor said that our rooms are allocated according to the job numbers. Fu Hua and I have a job number that ends in 3 and 4, and yours is 5. From this point of view, we must be close to us. .”

Hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded to make it clear, but did not ask why Cheng Ji remembered her job number at all.Cheng Ji's well-thought-out answer was stillborn, so he had to start another topic: "Hmm... have you been to Mingping Hydropower Station before?"

He added: "I see you're interested here."

After asking this question, Cheng Ji felt a little regretful.The questions he asked seemed boring, and girls should not be interested.

However, unexpectedly, Xiao Ling, who has always been lacking in interest in everything, blinked and said with a smile: "I have never been here. But, I am really interested in it."

Cheng Ji was taken aback: "Really..."

"City D is a typical southern city. It is located in the lower reaches of the Hengjiang River and is rich in water resources. However, it is easy to be flooded in the event of heavy rain in summer, causing heavy losses. Due to the lack of funds and design in the early years, the Hengjiang dam was closed in 91. The dam broke in [-], and there was a serious accident. After that, many companies were afraid of repeating the same mistakes, and no one was willing to take over this troublesome project until—”

Without panting, Xiao Ling read out the familiar history, Xiao Ling seemed to have thought of something, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened, and his eyes were shining like stars: "Until Hongjiang Construction Company won the bid and cooperated with several other companies in D City to contract this project. project, and now we have this amazing Mingping Hydropower Station.”

After she finished these few paragraphs, Fu Hua and Cheng Ji were already stunned.Cheng Ji was dumbfounded by Xiao Ling's rare and bright smile, but Fu Hua was shocked.

Even though Fu Hua himself is a major in water conservancy, he suspects that few people in the entire bus are so familiar with the construction background of Mingping Hydropower Station.He even had the illusion that Xiao Ling said this with pride and pride.

However, this project was built by Mr. Li of Hongjiang and people from other companies, and it was not built by her, Xiao Ling. What are you proud of?

Fu Hua licked his lips, subconsciously said: "Indeed, the Mingping Hydropower Station is amazing, with an annual power generation capacity of 20 billion kilowatts..."

Xiao Ling frowned, and said word by word: "[-] million kwh."

"Ah, is it? I don't even know the exact number, haha." Fu Hua laughed dryly, seeing Xiao Ling's serious expression, felt a little weird in his heart, and tentatively said: "The maximum dam height seems to be more than 100 meters..."

Xiao Ling frowned even tighter: "The maximum dam height is 120 meters."

Twice in a row is definitely not a coincidence.Fu Hua swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and frowned: "The rock at the foundation of the dam is granite, isn't that right?"

Xiao Ling shook his head, and corrected again seriously: "It's not granite, but diorite porphyrite, both of which belong to epigenetic rock, but they are not the same material."

Fu Hua: "..."

He was a little overwhelmed, feeling as if he was following a water conservancy engineering geology class, and Xiao Ling was that teacher.

Alas, it's not good for Cheng Ji to like someone, how could he like a top student?

Glancing at his stupid friend, Fu Hua was silent for a few seconds, with a delicate expression: "You...have you memorized all the parameters?"

Then Xiao Ling was also silent, looking at them with a faint disgust, as if saying: You can't even memorize this?

Fu Hua:? ? ?

So, it's not the hydropower station he built, why should he carry these things?
