no touch

Chapter 54

The night sky in early winter is as elegant as chocolate. Even though there are still small snowflakes falling, the cold wind blowing on the face does not feel tingling. . .

Even though Christmas has just passed, the Christmas trees on the street that have not been removed are still glowing, covered with bright stars, very dazzling.From time to time, sweet lovers gather there to take photos, perhaps because of the lively and romantic atmosphere on the street tonight, or perhaps because there is one more person by his side, Ye Xin suddenly feels that the winter night does not seem to be as quiet and desolate as usual.

Originally, I planned to drive my assistant to a friend's house, but unfortunately, after agreeing, I found out that I didn't drive to work this morning.Because the child of Xin Rui's family had a fever a few days ago, the car was parked directly at her house when she was sent home.

"Hey……"

"What's the matter, Minister?"

Just a slight sigh caused the assistant beside him to ask concerned questions, which was one of the reasons why Ye Xin was a little distressed.

"I'm old, my memory is bad." I laughed a little bit at myself, and glanced at the person next to me, a little bit unbearable, obviously I promised to send him back, but this time it was good, and finally it became two people slowly Tun walked back.

It's strange to say that Ye Xin took the initiative to flag down a taxi when she knew she was not driving. After the little assistant hesitated for a long time and didn't tell the exact location, the driver had no choice but to put them in the East Ring Road of Queen's Street. on the way.

"It's okay, as long as you remember me, I will handle other things."

The other party muttered suddenly, perhaps because of the gust of wind just now, the other party's whispered words just did not blow into Ye Xin's ears clearly, "What did you just say?"

"Well... I mean as long as I have a good memory."

"Hehehe, you don't even know the exact address, where is the memory?" Ye Xin teased the little assistant with a sideways glance. Looking at the ruddy face of the other party under the streetlight, she sighed in her heart that the other party's skin is so good. Maybe that's the case with the skin that can be broken by stars.

After hearing this, Shili was a little aggrieved, and tilted the umbrella slightly to the front, "That's because I just returned to China, and these streets are not very familiar, but I've only been here once, and I can know how to get there." The meaning behind the words , her memory is superb.

Hearing the other party's swearing tone, Ye Xin just smiled slightly.

They strolled on the street, and when they approached the intersection of Beware Street, they turned several bends. The seaport under the protection of the embankment was much lower than sea level.So on cold winter nights, the fog rising from the river has already dyed the entire street gray.This place is not as lively as the original street market, but it looks a bit deserted. The steeple church in the distance stands in the mist, looming.

The sudden draft made Ye Xin shrank her neck a little, "The moonlight is gone." When they were on the street just now, they stepped under the shadow of the moon all the way.

"That's because the minister is here, and they are all shyly hiding."

The person behind him suddenly answered a joke, which aroused Ye Xin's surprise, isn't this...?

"'The night is gentle, and the stars are bright. Let not the Queen of the Moon appear on her throne, lest the earth be darkened.' Forgive me for reading that book on your table."

Ye Xin shook her head in surprise, she didn't mind, but she didn't expect Assistant Guan to read the book of Keats' poems on her desk, and even compared herself to the "Queen of the Moon" so embarrassingly call.

"That's good."

While he was talking, the other party suddenly leaned forward and approached him, Ye Xin quickly raised his strength to stop and stand still, shivering for no reason.

The bright dark eyes looked down at her face from about two centimeters above the head, and the sight filled with a little smile seemed to be able to penetrate the soul of the person being watched, but there was no malice.

What on earth is this guy trying to do?That look made Ye Xin look up at the moon and down at the snow.When will she find time to talk about the way the little assistant looks at people.

"Minister, your nose is red from the cold."

"?"

Guan Shili took off his camel-colored windbreaker and put it on the other party while the other party was wandering.

Ye Xin was a little overwhelmed by this sudden action. She looked at the other's thinly clothed body, which was nothing more than a woolen sweater.

Is this kid out of his mind? !Immediately wanted to take it off, but the strength of the other party's hand seemed to disagree with her doing so.

"Assistant Guan, quickly put it on for me!" Ye Xin was a little impatient.

"I'm not cold at all, you see I wear a lot."

Guan Shili responded with a soft and playful smile, and refused to respond. When the other party wanted to put the coat on her, she jumped to the other side with a light gait, and the leather boots formed a dent in different shades on the snow. .

"You...you will be frozen into a popsicle like this, and you will catch a cold and have a fever tomorrow, put it on immediately!" Ye Xin suddenly felt that the person in front of her didn't listen to her at all!

"I'm not that weak~"

I saw the other party resolutely avoiding her, dodging easily in the icy and snowy field, as if the thick snow on the ground was not a problem, such childish behavior of "chasing and hiding" made Ye Xin gasp a little. For the first time, I feel that the new assistant sports cells in front of me are really good...

"Put it on, or people will think I'm abusing my subordinates." Damn it, why is this kid so stubborn!

Ye Xin's panting face showed the blush after running, she was a little angry that this assistant was so stubborn.

"No, the minister doesn't believe that you can touch me. It's super warm, and it's really not cold."

At this moment, Guan Shili leaned forward like a little golden retriever to beg for pets. With that kind of expression that people couldn't bear to refuse, Ye Xin could see that if the other party had a tail, he would definitely turn into a propeller...

Looking at the face slowly coming up with a little pity, he had to make himself lean back.The other party bent down slightly and looked directly at her, her long eyelashes trembling slightly against the street lamps, her face was too pale, without blood at all, but her lips were as red as roses, such an abrupt and strange feeling, let Ye Xin pursed her lips subconsciously.Isn't this really cold?

"Okay, I see. I'm wearing the coat, but you can't take off the scarf."

While speaking, Ye Xin tied her beige scarf around the other's neck, and she could clearly feel Guan Shili's body froze when she touched it.

For a long time, Guan Shili kept his head slightly lowered so that the other party could tie it on him, and a gentle breath blew on Ye Xin's cheek that was close at hand, "Thank you."

Ye Xin suddenly felt the warm air blowing over her earlobe, and raised her eyes in a little panic, just in time to fall into a deep pool of eyes.Damn it, they were so close that they could feel the aura of both sides. Ye Xin could feel the straight gaze of the other party. Such a familiar gaze made her hands stiffen immediately, and she simply stopped, "Tie it yourself!"

Guan Shili looked at the back of the other party who turned around and walked straight forward, with a smile on his lips, and whispered coquettishly, "Minister, wait for me~"

"At this speed, I guess I won't be able to go home until tomorrow, and there will be one frozen corpse, no, two! Hurry up, I don't want to be on the news." Ye Xin looked back helplessly. The figure who followed Pidianpidian said sharply at the top of his throat.

"Minister, you are so fierce."

"...Is there?" He raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"But it's also very cute~" Guan Shili leaned closer, looking at the woman who always had a serious expression with bright eyes and a smile.

cute?Adjectives like cute can't beat her... I rolled my eyes, ignoring the other party's irrelevant words. Could it be that after staying abroad for a long time, you always talk nonsense regardless of your seniority?Perhaps the assistant's Chinese level needs to be improved. "You know the way, or you can go by yourself, and I won't send it off."

"How can it be, I'm afraid of walking at night." The tone of the person behind him suddenly became pitiful.

"Then just shut up obediently and follow me." Ye Xin felt a little regretful about agreeing to send the other party home. With their stop-and-go speed, they probably wouldn't even make it to dawn.

"Oh……"

It was uttered in a nasal voice, full of grievance and loss of being reprimanded.

Then there was only the sound of stepping on the snow along the way, and the condensed cold wind was blowing, but the coat with the other party's breath on the shoulders added a heavy feeling, which was really warm.Ye Xin looked sideways and saw the little guy (taller than her) beside her with her neck shrunk, wrapped in a scarf, looking extremely wronged, the corners of her eyes were red, and her fair face was even more obvious .

"..."

She, who was always happy, became silent... Did she say something too serious just now?Obviously not... Well, seeing the other side's profile, Ye Xin felt a little bit more guilt pressing on the top of his head, and Ye Xin felt that every step was difficult.It's just thinking about not wasting time on the road and telling the other party to shut up. Could it be that the little pitiful feels that he doesn't like her talking?

And helplessly let out a sigh in my heart.

Near the intersection of the streets, Ye Xin stopped in her tracks, and the bells of the church rang nearby, which seemed a bit intrusive in the silent night. This area is a place where churches and pilgrims or priests live. She rarely comes here, and always feels The sacred and clean ancient streets are somewhat awe-inspiring. The buildings that have followed the Nordic style for many years have not been demolished with the development of urbanization. Although she does not believe in God, the night here is not as reassuring as the daytime, but it will make people feel a little creepy. .

Looking at the pale and frozen statue of the Son of God on the cross, Ye Xin turned her head and asked the people around her, "Where should we go now?"

What was attracted was the innocent stare of the other party.

Ye Xin had no choice but to pull the scarf covering Guan Shili's mouth, "You can speak now."

"Go to the left." Guan Shili said slowly, as if he had been pardoned, "Minister, can I speak now?"

"I just wanted to hurry up. We can't waste time on the road. The night here is not safe. I don't mean to blame you." Ye Xin walked in front, perhaps because this small alleyway does not allow two people to walk side by side Because of this, she did not see the sly smile of the person behind her.

"Minister, you are actually much gentler than you appear on the surface, and you always worry about others before yourself. Even if ordinary people agree to such a thing, if they encounter such a situation, many people will just send it here , after all, we haven't known each other enough for you to bother."

Is a bad woman with a vixen's face on the surface, or a strict minister whom everyone respects in the company... Ye Xin paused when he thought of this.

Just looking at the people in front of him neither affirming nor denying, this kind of silence made Guan Shili feel dazed for no reason.

Ye Xin turned around and saw the guy behind him raised his forehead slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"what are you doing?"

"Ah, it suddenly occurred to me that a poet once said, 'I like to catch snow on my forehead when it snows, and it feels like being kissed by someone I like'." Guan Shili made up this reason in a hurry.

"...So you're kissing Snow now?"

Ye Xin looked at the innocent assistant and asked doubts with a dark face.

"...That's right." She blushed a little embarrassedly.

Immediately afterwards, a solid ball of snow hit his face in the middle of his forehead, and Guan Shili stared blankly at the instigator's sudden attack with snow hanging on his dull face.

"What, how does this 'French kiss' feel?" Ye Xin felt that she was going all out when she asked this question. Seeing the stunned expression on the other side, the corners of her mouth curled up, "If you want to thank you, don't be so awkward. Thinking wildly is not suitable for you." Ye Xin raised the little snowball in her hand, a little complacently, "Also, what about your quick motor nerves?"

Guan Shili, who was hit by a snowball with icy scum on his face, never expected that the minister could be so "naughty", and stood there completely numbly, his brain froze for a moment, "Minister, I have always respected you for..."

Just as he was about to continue to make a speech, he was hit between the eyebrows again with a "pop..." From time to time, whispers came from the silent and white corridor, and those countless mouths lurking under the incandescent lamps quickly passed one to another, as if Unpredictable prophets or gloating.Every time a new project is developed, people from other departments will stop and linger for a while, almost stretching their necks to peek at the internal situation. After all, after this high-level meeting is over, I don’t know which leader of the company’s upper management revealed it. Rumor has it that the director of the first development department has been severely criticized by the board of directors, and is expected to be transferred and punished...

"Look, everyone is guessing what's going on inside."

The woman who spoke was Hu Qi, the deputy director of the first department, who was suddenly promoted to deputy director half a year ago, which was unprecedented in the company.The petite figure and harmless face attracted many male employees of the company.

Hua Qing stared blankly at Hu Qi who was walking towards her with a smile on her face, and remained silent.

"I want to apologize to Minister Ye."

"Minister doesn't need your apology." Hua Qing cast a cold look at the woman in front of her, her voice didn't fluctuate.

Hu Qi raised his head a little funny, and stared at this woman who had the same style as Ye Xin, "it, Assistant Hua, oh no, you will be from Minister He's side in the future, why bother to treat a 'dying' person?" How can people repay their loyalty?" Hu Qi changed from his previous delicate and pitiful demeanor to a mature one that didn't match his age.

"Deputy Minister Hu has contributed a lot this time. Do I have to call you by other names in the future?"

Hua Qing looked at Hu Qi, who was completely different from before, and responded coldly.

Hu Qi smiled and raised his eyebrows, "You mean you won't let me in?"

"If you insist on seeing the minister, let me inform you." Hua Qing actually had no idea. If the other party insisted on seeing the minister, she had no authority to stop him. Thinking of Minister Ye's face turning pale just now, the minister seemed to be in a bad state , Hua Qing couldn't help sweating in her heart, but the other party didn't mean to continue to embarrass her, but flicked her collar with some concern.

"It's okay, anyway, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future." Although she was curious about why Ye Xin always locked herself in the office and did not allow any interruptions, she didn't mean to continue to embarrass Hua Qing, "You have more current affairs than Mu Jia. , this time, don’t stand on the wrong team again, look at those...sometimes it’s necessary to switch sides at the right time.” Following Hu Qi’s gaze, Hua Qing saw a few newly promoted staff not far away. Going to discuss with the personnel department, the anxious expressions all revealed that they were unwilling to stay under this 'dying' minister. Purely rational egoism abounds here, and her own loyalty is really vulnerable. He didn't have the courage to stay with Minister Ye. This is the workplace.

When Ye Xin came out of the office again, she saw the subordinates in her department working hard as usual.Everyone had an unchanging expression on their faces, showing no emotions, only the blinking eyes told her how flustered they were at the moment.

At this moment, the fast-changing images at the frame rate per second are flickering on the blue light screen. This stubble-faced young man from Israel is typing on the keyboard quickly, and he is capturing a blurred figure.
