absolutely attracted

Time passed bit by bit. Although Xia Baiwei and Hu Jinxing were separated by eight hours of time difference, they still called each other every day.

After going on like this for more than 20 days, Xia Baiwei was shocked. It turns out that someone who is as afraid of trouble as himself is willing to spend an hour or two every day talking with Gu Jinxing about irrelevant nonsense, and the content of the chat is even more strange , From the onions in the breakfast I had today to the sudden death of an international entrepreneur, from Leonardo Da Vinci to Western opera, and even the stray cats I occasionally met on the road wanted to talk to each other.

Obviously, they are all trivial and trivial things that waste time, but they don't seem to be annoying when they are said, and sometimes they even feel that time passes quickly.

Looking at the time on the phone calendar, there is still more than a week before the Spring Festival.Xia Baiwei thought of what Gu Jinxing said to him last time, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, until the paint on the paint tray dripped on his pants, Xia Baiwei suddenly woke up.

"Hey, Wade, why are you always absent-minded lately?" Smith walked towards Xia Baiwei with a tissue.

Xia Bai smiled at him in embarrassment, and sighed in his heart, it's all Gu Jinxing's fault, he can't help but think about him.

Seeing his appearance, Smith couldn't help but tease, "However, it seems that you have some happy little troubles."

Xia Bai took the paper towel and wiped the paint poured on his pants, "Maybe. It shouldn't be called trouble, maybe it's yearning."

Xia Bai lowered his head in embarrassment, and Smith immediately understood everything, "Don't miss it, just buy the ticket."

Smith winked slightly at Xia Bai, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, let me give you a holiday in advance. Go meet the people you meet."

"Thank you! Mr. Smith." Xia Baiwei's voice was a little excited.

Seeing Xia Baiwei's eyes suddenly light up, Smith laughed, "Wade, you are still like a child, everything is written on your face."

"By the way, I will tell you another piece of good news. After the next year, you can try to place your work center in China. In order to meet the more international art needs, our gallery is planning to open a branch in China."

"Isn't it great that you don't have to be separated from your husband?"

Xia Baiwei was very embarrassed to hear the word "husband" from Smith's mouth, but she still nodded, "That's really great."

Xia Baiwei couldn't help but call Gu Jinxing on the way home when people were in good spirits. It was 6pm in London, and it was still 10am in City B.

After a while, the call was received. Gu Jinxing made a "shh" gesture to Xia Baiwei, and then mouthed to Xia Baiwei, "I'm in a meeting."

Xia Bai couldn't help laughing slightly, and hung up the phone right after the meeting, why did he have a meeting while answering the phone.

"President Gu?" Seeing Gu Jinxing's "shh" gesture just now, Liu Wei thought that Gu Jinxing had some instructions.

"It's okay, you guys continue, I'm listening." Gu Jinxing adjusted his glasses, sat up straight, and motioned for the meeting to continue.

Xia Baiwei looked at Gu Jinxing in the video, wearing a suit and shirt and golden glasses, he really felt like a domineering president of the abstinence department, although Xia Baiwei knew that the words Gu Jinxing and abstinence had almost nothing to do with each other.

Under the impetus of Gu Jinxing, the meeting ended quickly.As soon as the meeting ended, Gu Jinxing held up his mobile phone and smiled at Xia Bai, "What, miss me?"

Xia Baiwei couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said helplessly, "Yeah, it's been less than ten hours since our last conversation, and I miss you so much."

"You love me so much, Xia Baiwei." At this time, Gu Jinxing seemed to be intoxicated in his own sweet world, just like the abstinence chief referee in the meeting room just now.

"By the way, I called to tell you good news." Xia Baiwei was used to Gu Jinxing's appearance, so he changed the topic to talk about business.

"Huh?" Gu Jinxing raised his eyebrows, "What good news?"

"I'm on vacation, and I've just booked a flight back home."

Gu Jinxing showed a surprised expression, "When will you arrive, I will pick you up."

"The morning after tomorrow, if you're busy, I can take a taxi by myself."

"No, call me at the airport and I'll pick you up."

The two chatted some nonsense again, and after a while, it showed that the call lasted for an hour and a half. When he was about to hang up the phone, Xia Baiwei asked Gu Jinxing, "Gu Jinxing, don't answer my calls in future meetings, I'm afraid affect your work."

"No, I will take it." Gu Jinxing resolutely rejected Xia Baiwei, and said, "I will take it. If I don't take it, it will affect my work."

Returning to City B again, Xia Baiwei's mood was no longer as lost as the previous few times. Many things happened in this city that Xia Baiwei didn't want to recall, but it also carried many good memories.

What's more, in this city now, there is someone waiting for him to go home.

Besides Gu Jinxing, Xia Baiwei also told Song Qingyang that he was going back. Song Qingyang said that he had prepared good wine at home, and asked Xia Baiwei to go over and have a drink at any time.

Walking out of the airport full of expectations, Xia Bai took a taxi to Gu Jinxing's company.He intentionally told Gu Jinxing that his flight was two hours late, as if secretly going to give Gu Jinxing a surprise.

After getting off the car, Xia Baiwei followed the navigation to a nearby flower shop, thinking of the bouquet of roses that Gu Jinxing threw into the trash can before, and the flowers that Gu Jinxing put at the door of his apartment every Valentine's Day .

Xia Bai felt sad for no reason, he would definitely send Gu Jinxing a lot of flowers in the future.

Picking a bouquet of red roses, Xia Baiwei walked out with the roses in her arms after paying the bill. This flower shop is two roads away from Gu Jinxing's company, about 10 minutes away.

Xia Baiwei was about to send a message to Gu Jinxing when suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Turning around subconsciously, the man behind him has short hair, strong muscles, and a ruthless look in his eyes.

Before asking the other party what he wanted, he saw the person behind the muscular man slowly throwing away the cigarette in his mouth and stamping it out on the ground, his gloomy eyes fixed on Xia Baiwei, "Long time no see, Xia Baiwei."

Chen Kang?The alarm bell in Xia Baiwei's heart rang loudly, and he threw the flower in his hand at the muscular man in front of him, turned around and ran away.

"Catch me! Don't let him run away!"

Xia Bai glanced behind him, Chen Kang and several muscular men who seemed capable of fighting.

This is a residential area with a park in front of it. Since it is almost noon now, there are almost no people there.

Xia Baiwei called Gu Jinxing while running, Gu Jinxing answered almost instantly, "Get off the plane?"

"I'm in the Beihu Park in front of your company. Chen Kang and his men are chasing me. Come quickly."

Hearing Xia Bai's panting voice on the other end of the phone, Gu Jinxing rushed out of the office almost immediately, bumping into the secretary who was sending documents to the office.

Xia Baiwei had gradually lost his strength, and when he ran to a gazebo in the park, he was savagely dragged and fell to the ground.

Chen Kang ran over slowly from not far away, saw Xia Bai slightly embarrassed, and laughed, "It's not in vain. I squatted downstairs in Gu Jinxing's company for several days, since I couldn't find a chance for Gu Jinxing , anyway, don’t you two sleep in the same bed? Then you can take the beating for him.”

After Chen Kang finished speaking, he didn't waste a word, and motioned to the muscular men around him to do it directly.

Xia Baiwei was dragged by Song Qingyang to practice taekwondo because various cases against ethnic Chinese in foreign countries often occurred when he was in college.

The few muscular men who rushed up seemed to have learned boxing specifically. Xia Baiwei could take a few moves at the beginning, but they had more people than they did because of their strength.

Xia Baiwei had no choice but to keep defending, trying to let their fists land where they would not hurt the vitals.During the scuffle, Xia Baiwei didn't pay attention, and was hit by a fist on the side of the face. There was a bloody smell in his mouth, and he became dizzy for a while.

Gu Jinxing saw this scene when he ran over, Xia Baiwei staggered back a few steps after being hit by Chen Kang's fist.He rushed over and gave Chen Kang a kick from behind. Chen Kang was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground. The two muscular men next to him changed their targets and hit Gu Jinxing again.

Gu Jinxing has practiced boxing for many years, and he often works out. Fights are already ruthless, and seeing Xia Baiwei being beaten, his anger level has reached its peak, and his strikes are actually heavier than those two muscular men.

The five of them fought together, and after a while, Gu Jinxing got the upper hand, and the two muscular men were beaten so hard by Gu Jinxing that they couldn't fight back.Chen Kang was punched by Gu Jinxing again, his eyes turned red, and he rushed towards Gu Jinxing and Xia Baiwei like crazy.

Xia Bai slightly turned his back to Chen Kang, and when he turned around, he saw something flashing silver in the hand that Chen Kang was waving towards him.

"Be careful!" Gu Jinxing shouted.

Xia Bai subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, blood splashed onto his face, and an arm was blocked in front of him, and a long bloody gash was cut on it.

Xia Bai felt dizzy for a moment, his vision went dark, and he heard his panicked voice, "Gu Jinxing!"

Gu Jinxing didn't respond, he rushed forward to subdue Chen Kang, Xia Baiwei hurried over and took the knife from Chen Kang's hand and threw it aside.

Xia Baiwei's memory of everything after that was very chaotic, he only knew that the police car came and the ambulance also came, Gu Jinxing's hand kept dripping blood, dripping on his white shirt and his own clothes.

When getting into the ambulance, Gu Jinxing comforted Xia Baiwei, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xia Bai looked at his pale face and lips due to blood loss, he was in a daze, and his heart was tense into a rubber band that was about to split.Xia Bai forced himself to calm down slightly, then held Gu Jinxing's hand tightly beside him, put his head close to his ear and said softly.

"Gu Jinxing, you promised me that you will go home together for the New Year."

Gu Jinxing put his other uninjured hand around Xia Baiwei's neck, moved it up to stroke his hair, and said to Xia Baiwei in a weak voice, "Well, I remember."
