Road.

"There should be a bus." Lin Zixin said as she picked up her phone and opened the map software, searched a bit, and showed an incredulous expression, "The last bus ends so early."

"Take a taxi, and get reimbursed later." Xie Canglan had already paid the bill at this time, took her coat hanging on the back of the chair and stood up.

As soon as she spoke, the little girl nodded impolitely and followed her out of the small restaurant.

The night in the beginning of autumn was a little bit cool. Lin Zixin only wore a thin gauze skirt because of her youthful vigor. It was just right when the sun was shining during the day and the air conditioner was sitting in the office. She raised her arms and trembled, feeling a little frustrated, suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, it was actually Xie Canglan who had covered her body with her thin coat.

"Ah, it doesn't matter to me, Director..." Lin Zixin immediately declined.

Xie Canglan didn't expect Xie Canglan to be surprisingly tough, she frowned and straightened her clothes again: "I have another one in my office, don't be brave."

Her expression was very serious, and her tone was very flat, but when she withdrew her hand, her index finger seemed to accidentally brush Lin Zixin's cheek, and the slight heat made the little girl's heart skip a beat.

"Uh, Director, do you still want to go back to the office?" Lin Zixin's voice sounded a little stiff, as if she was eager to cover up something.

"There is still some work to be done." Xie Canglan replied as a matter of course.

"Director, you... have been working all the time." Lin Zixin's tone seemed a little frustrated.

Xie Canglan paused for a while, then sighed softly: "Because there is only work left."

There was a sense of sadness in the shallow tone, scattered in the autumn wind, which made people feel a little unbearable. Lin Zixin wanted to comfort her for a moment, but moved her mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Probably seeing the hesitation on Lin Zixin's face, Xie Canglan smiled again, and said to Lin Zixin half-jokingly and half-seriously: "The life of being a child is very beautiful, so don't reject it, you have to cherish it." .”

Lin Zixin was taken aback for a moment, a little bit unwillingly and a little bit moved, and gave a low "Yes".

During the conversation, the two had already walked out of the community, but even on the main road of the High-tech Park, there were still few vehicles at night.The two waited for a while but did not see a taxi passing by. Just when Lin Zixin wanted to use the taxi app, the screen of the phone Xie Canglan was holding lit up.

Although it was still in silent mode, Xie Canglan's flickering phone caught Xie Canglan's attention. She glanced at it, but this time she didn't hang up.

"Hello? Oh... went out to eat. Now? Now..." Xie Canglan reported the name of the road, and said something on the other end. After a while, the call ended, Xie Canglan turned to Lin Zixin and said, "Someone will come over later , take you to the subway station."

Lin Zixin didn't think much about it, and replied politely, "Okay, then I'll be troublesome."

About 10 minutes later, a small red beetle drove towards the two of them from a distance, and finally stopped by the side of the road. The window of the car was slowly rolled down, revealing a domineering face, and looked at it with a smile Xie Canglan, when she saw Lin Zixin following behind her, quickly frowned, as if she said "Where did this come from?" in a very contemptuous manner.

Xie Canglan came up and opened the car door, then turned to greet Lin Zixin: "Come."

Lin Zixin didn't move, but the person inside the car was even more unhappy, and said impatiently: "What's going on?"

"Jingyun, this is an intern in the department. There are no buses, so you can take her to the subway station along the way." Xie Canglan explained lightly.

Hu Jingyun didn't respond this time, she looked at Lin Zixin noncommittally, wondering if it was because of her extremely handsome appearance, her silent posture was a bit oppressive.

Lin Zixin was very uncomfortable with the hostility in her eyes, but there was really no way to effectively fight back, so she had to lick her lower lip unwillingly.

She has seen her provoking Jiang Li at the entrance of the multi-functional hall; she has also seen her crying at a girl who is about her own age in the office; she has also seen her break into Xie Canglan's office without saying hello and not be kicked out .

Relying on her outstanding intuition, Lin Zixin knew that this woman named Hu Jingyun was very unusual, but out of instinct, she felt that it was best not to have any confrontation with this woman, because...

Her eyes... were too cloudy.

"What's the matter? Get in the car." Xie Canglan yelled again when she saw Lin Zixin standing there in a daze.

Hu Jingyun still didn't express his opinion, but the gesture of looking at Lin Zixin proudly was obviously not an invitation.

Lin Zixin waved her hand and declined politely: "Uh...don't bother, I'll call a taxi."

"It's so late, it's not safe for you to ride alone as a girl, what if something happens." Xie Canglan looked very responsible.

Seeing that Hu Jingyun in the driver's seat was staring at her more and more man-eating, Lin Zixin's mind suddenly flashed, and he suddenly said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll find someone to pick me up."

I was about to make a phone call after I finished speaking, but when I opened the address book, there was a pause, as if I was grinding my teeth in annoyance, and then I clicked on WeChat and sent a few words.

Ten seconds later, the phone rang, and Lin Zixin picked it up a little relieved but also a little proud. On the other end was a slightly anxious female voice: "What's going on? Where is he now?"

When Lin Zixin answered, the other end paused strangely, and then said, "Wait, quarter of an hour!" and quickly hung up the phone.

Xie Canglan looked at the little girl's series of actions, her eyes were deep and she didn't know what she was thinking of, and after a while, she said: "That's okay, I will accompany you when someone arrives."

Now, Hu Jingyun in the car couldn't help but uttered a word, with a cold and mocking tone: "There are probes all around, and there is a sentry box over there, she stands on the main road for a quarter of an hour, how can something happen so easily? "

The tone was too harsh, Lin Zixin was a little angry immediately, but it was inconvenient to explode, so she simply pretended not to hear it, and said to Xie Canglan: "I will be there soon, Director, you still have work, you should go back early .”

Xie Canglan thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Remember my mobile phone, and when I get there, someone will send me a text message."

Hu Jingyun hummed, and watched coldly as the two exchanged phone numbers.

Lin Zixin only remembered when Xie Canglan got into the car, and told her to return the clothes she was wearing. Xie Canglan waved his hand, signaling for her to take them. Hu Jingyun had already started the engine impatiently, and Lin Zixin had no choice but to return them.

The red Beetle drove far away, and passed by an indigo Roewe on the way, Xie Canglan glanced out the window, her gaze sank slightly.

can't escape

Xie Canglan could barely look away from the window, turned her head to meet Hu Jingyun's gaze, the expression of the person in the passenger seat remained unchanged, and only reminded him indifferently: "Watch the road."

Hu Jingyun pressed the lip line in displeasure, and in the end she still put traffic safety first, but after focusing on the road conditions for a few minutes, she seemed a little angry but also a little confused, and asked in a cold tone: " what's wrong with you?"

Her facial features were not soft enough, and she was wearing heavy makeup, which made her look too sharp and difficult to get along with.

Xie Canglan was not affected at all, and still maintained a calm look, asking: "What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid," Hu Jingyun said impatiently, with a hint of resentment in his tone, "Xie Canglan, when have you been so kind that you even take good care of the interns?"

Xie Canglan blinked, but did not answer immediately.

She has also heard some BAE rumors that she "respects Lin Zixin very much", regardless of whether such discussions are meaningful or not, but Xie Canglan has always adopted a "don't know" attitude towards such things.

Ever since she and Jiang Li..., all kinds of gossip and rumors have never been less. If everything was serious, she might have been tossed to death long ago.

But hearing Hu Jingyun's question, Xie Canglan still felt a little... funny.

"It's just an intern, take care of it, isn't it normal?"

There seems to be a good reason between the lines, but Hu Jingyun almost blurted out—"It's not normal, it's so abnormal!"

Hu Jingyun knew about Xie Canglan.Except for work, she basically never cared about other things; as for people... Even though Jiang Li was finally kicked out of BAE, every time Hu Jingyun thought of her, he could still feel the overwhelming jealousy in his heart.

Probably only when Jiang Li is involved, can Xie Canglan's eyes, which are always as calm as water, shake a little bit. Therefore, when Hu Jingyun learned that the intern who attracted Xie Canglan's special attention in "It is said" came from Y University, her heart Almost instinctively... "clicked".

Immediately, she lost her composure and wanted to ask Xie Canglan to find out, but she was not found in the office. She was very surprised. After calling, she found out that she was out for dinner. She actually came out with the interns, and she felt very annoyed all of a sudden.

She even lent her coat to that little girl, Xie Canglan... When was she ever so gentle with herself? !

Thinking of this, Hu Jingyun became even more resentful, and his tone inevitably became more aggressive: "Xie Canglan, I have done so many things for you, and I can count the number of meals with you on one hand. Now this is a true intern, It’s just that Y came out, so you’re particularly worried, right?”

After hearing Hu Jingyun's stinging words, Xie Canglan finally couldn't keep his calm attitude.She frowned, feeling a little annoyed. In Hu Jingyun's view, it was more like being angry at being talked about, which naturally aroused her heart.
