reprieve

Taking this step is easier than Sui Ran imagined.

You don't need to have the physical ability to go to the moon, and you don't need the courage to jump off a building.

With a little impulsiveness and a little anger, President Huai was caught off guard.

Sui Ran could feel the other party's stiffness for a moment, thinking that the experience of being thrown into his arms was so novel to Huai that there was no response before she spoke.

She even deliberately pays attention to the other person's breathing——

The dimly lit room was very quiet, face to face, not a single breath.

She didn't, and neither did Huai An.

Sui Ran suppressed the urge to "do something" in her heart, exhaled lightly, and broke the suffocating silence.

"I'm a little... over the top."

The feeling of drinking alcohol, the consciousness is divided into two, one side is to relax the self-control and let the sensibility run amok, and the other side is the dying struggle of rationality, but at the same time, it is on the sidelines.

"……Um."

"Emotional matters are difficult to control, I mean myself." Sui Ran smiled self-deprecatingly, "Sometimes I am very impatient, and I can't take my time."

It is impossible to accept the overt and secret contributions of others with peace of mind.

——When you like someone, you are the one who is happy, and it has nothing to do with the person you like, so don't feel pressured.

Huai'an used her concept of the project to explain the concept of emotion, and it was packaged like that, but the meaning expressed in a roundabout way is actually this.

The emphasis is on "I don't want to put pressure on you".

So I went around and around, never looking directly into her eyes, or following "like" with the word "you" from beginning to end.

He doesn't even use personal pronouns, lest a little bluntness will scare her away—President Huai is not a character who is cautious, so accommodating is nothing more than taking care of her feelings and giving her a step to continue deceiving herself and others like an ostrich.

As someone in authority who was deliberately obscured, Sui Ran definitely couldn't turn a blind eye to such caution.

Sui Ran continued on her own, "I'm not fleshy, I'm rough."

There is no need for regular, quantitative and careful maintenance, nor will it grow into the appearance the breeder expects because of meticulous care.

"However, being rough doesn't mean you don't know what's good and what's wrong."

Precisely because people are not grass and trees, she can't sit still in the Duobao Pavilion and enjoy the other party's accommodation even if the other party expresses her willingness.

The longer the time, the more confused I am, not knowing what virtue and ability I have, and that I deserve to be treated properly like this.

"I know." Sui Ran couldn't help sighing.

She thought that the communication between the two was limited to business dealings, Huai'an would accompany her and not discuss personal matters.

She wanted to withdraw in order to "avoid suspicion", so Mr. Huai stepped back to the southern hemisphere first.

"I know you've done so much."

Since you can't pretend that you can't see and can't hear, you might as well simply pull off the mask President Huai is holding.

"How can it have nothing to do with it?"

Or are you just determined to feed a piece of heart to the dog?Sui Ran clenched her back molars, but didn't say anything.Asked, maybe Mr. Huai became angry from embarrassment and took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to take her...

Killed.

"Ah."

The arms around his waist tightened slightly, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to the scale between restraint and etiquette.

This man was so rigid that it was almost rigid.

Talking too much made her throat a little dry, Sui Ran buried it deeper in her neck, the nasal cavity was filled with a cool fragrance, and the pulsation of the blood vessels in her neck was clearly discernible.

The frequency is slightly faster and the temperature climbs.

Sui Ran rubbed unconsciously, and then clearly felt Huai'an's tense moment again.

It is estimated that Mr. Huai's posture is not very comfortable, and it's hard for the cleanliness patient to continue such intimate contact for such a long time.Sui Ran let go, and sure enough, Huai'an also let go immediately after.

The light reflected in the living room is not enough to see the face on the opposite side clearly, so it is impossible to distinguish the emotion.

Darkness provides the best shading.

Sui Ran tilted her head against the door frame, allowing the shoulders next to the wall to share part of the weight.

For the first time since we met, she looked at Huai'an unscrupulously with the mentality that she could not be treated as an outsider.

What to say?

Humans, apart from the innate genetic aesthetic restrictions, are instinctively attracted to beautiful people and things.

Tortured when not working together, Huai'an definitely satisfies the general social animal's vision of a strong man in the workplace-beyond the definition of gender, but is even more fascinating because of her femininity.

Didn't Haicheng half-joke that she was about to be beaten by President Huai?

Regardless of Mu Qiang's mentality or pure appreciation, Huai'an is a leader in the social circle.

Even in a semi-enclosed space with insufficient light at this moment, covered with hazy moonlight, it still exudes an indescribable attraction.

Sui Ran's eyes lingered on her slightly pursed lips for a few seconds, then slid down to her untidy neckline.

think……

No, you don't want to.

Sui Ran stood at attention, lowered her head, and put on a gesture of sincerely admitting her mistake: "I'm sorry, I disrupted President Huai's plan without authorization."

Huai'an said "um", obviously absent-minded.

Sui Ran put his hand on the switch and asked before pressing it: "So can I trouble President Huai to show off his acting skills and pretend nothing happened?"

After saying this, Sui Ran laughed first, she knew that she was making trouble out of no reason, but Huai An was very cooperative, and nodded seriously: "Okay."

After turning on the light, Sui Ran moved slightly away against the base of the wall, but within half a step, Huai'an's eyes fixed him.

She turned sideways to get out of the way, and made a gesture: "You first?"

Huaian didn't move.

Hearing an inaudible sigh and raising her head, Sui Ran caught the shadow between her eyebrows that had not yet dissipated.

"How many are there now?"

……

It was one past two in the morning.

Sui Ran picked up the phone and put it down again.

Still can't sleep.

He is no longer a young man with excessive hormone secretion, let alone a primary school chicken, but the faint scent of forest wood in his nose makes his heart beat a beat or two from time to time, his head is dizzy, and he can't find sleepiness after tossing and turning.

The culprit was undoubtedly Mr. Huai's toiletries.

Sui Ran suddenly realized what "how many" refers to when he fast-tracked into the bedroom in Huai'an.

She chased him out and yelled to stop Mr. Huai.

Seeing clearly that the first movement of the other party after turning around was to pull up the collar, she couldn't explain what kind of psychological troubles, she asked: "Can I finish listening to old Feng's story tonight?"

Huai'an was silent for quite a while, "Tomorrow we... let's talk tomorrow."

Turn around and close the door.

Without any hesitation.

Leave half the story scratching your head.

Staring at the ceiling until his eyes were dry, Sui Ran resignedly picked up the phone.

One forty in the morning.

President Huai had better be asleep.

While thinking, Sui Ran turned over and hugged the phone, quickly typed a line and sent it.

"Long nights, heartless sleep."

Waited 1 minutes, nothing happened.

ok, sleep.

Sui Ran went on to write: "The following remarks are nonsense, and I will not be held responsible once they are retracted. Note: The time limit for retraction is ten seconds [ghost face]"

The upper input status bar does not move at all.

Sui Ran felt relieved.

She opened the memo and wanted to make a draft, but she couldn't see Huai'an's profile picture, and she always felt that the atmosphere was not in place, so she returned to the chat box, typed out what she wanted to say in one go, and clicked send directly without checking for typos, and then long pressed message, stay on the "Withdraw" option, and start counting seconds.

Sui Ran was afraid before, not because she was afraid of being abandoned or giving up on herself, but because she was afraid of being a burden to each other.

She thought that it was not necessary to fall in love to live in this world, but to be accompanied by someone until old age.If it feels right, isn't it good to keep the distance as light as water? Why pull the distance too tight, and it will hurt your muscles and bones when you separate in the end.

What she was afraid of was what would turn out beyond recognition.

As beautiful as they are together, they are ugly when they are apart.

Looking back on the past period of time, Sui Ran felt that in a sense she was quite persevering, able to withstand President Huai's all-round, material and spiritual siege.

But feelings should not be a game, let alone a patient tug-of-war.

What matters in many things is not whether the result is good or bad, but the process.

The last relationship made her fear, thinking that the process was a tightrope walk on a cliff, and she was at the risk of being smashed to pieces at any time.

And Mr. Huai...

Sui Ran knew that she had a different feeling for Huai'an a long time ago.

As early as one night when Huai'an took her home and handed her something, her attention was focused on the protruding bone on the outside of Huai'an's wrist.

Sui Ran knows that she doesn't have such a profound view of feelings as Mr. Huai, and she thinks that desire is the prerequisite for judging whether to be tempted or not.

She was moved.

Then pretend to be ashamed.

But if things were really calm, she would not try her best to do things for President Sang, nor would she try to please Huai'an with such and such excuses.

Mr. Huai and her are completely of two classes, and the social environment is very different. If there is no business contact, there will be very little communication.

To this day, rather than saying that Mr. Huai's patience is unfathomable, she herself is half-pushed and half-hearted.

……

In a blink of an eye, I forgot whether I counted to eleven or 21.

The moment the phone vibrated, Sui Ran's first reaction was to throw it away instead of clicking "Withdraw".

She frantically picked up her phone.

Huaian: "10 seconds have passed, and there is—"

Huaian: "65 seconds."

Huaian: "55."

Breaking free from the embarrassment of twisting the sheets, Sui Ran heaved a sigh of relief and was happy.

Huai's alarm clock counted down diligently: "45".

With her chin resting on her right hand, Sui Ran typed slowly with one hand:

"Water splashed when spoken."

"So……"

"President Huai please enlighten me."

"Good night [moon]"

Huai'an's input state lasted for a long ten seconds, and the reply was only two simple words: "Good night."

Sui Ran scrolled up, and there was no option to undo the message edited by Xin Ma You Rein, and it would not be so messy if I read it again if my impression was fragmented.

"I don't have a plan, and my last relationship failed completely. I don't know how much confidence I have now, or how much confidence I need so that I won't keep thinking about how many galaxies I saved in my previous life, and I won President Huai's favor in this life. Now I think... …It’s not a little bit, but I think it’s okay to let me change from passive to active a little bit. It’s probably about this level…”

The phone buzzed, and Sui Ran skipped to the end.

"The night is long, you can do whatever you want. What do you want to do?"

[Huai'an withdrew a message. 】
