☆Chapter truth
At the workstation, Li Mu twisted his neck to activate his muscles and bones. Ai Qing stayed with them for three days, and had plans to stay for a long time. Li Mu slept on the sofa for three days, feeling that his neck was not his own.
“…Send this information to Director Ai.”
The wind was blowing under Li Mu’s feet, and he rushed to Director Zhao in a reckless manner, and took the initiative to take care of himself, “Director, I’ll go, I’ll go!”
Standing outside the glass door, Li Mu didn’t knock on the door right away, but hid in an inconspicuous corner and peeked in secretly. Ai Xi was looking down at the documents, with an elegant and picturesque look.
Frowning, closing her eyes, biting her lip, Ai Xi put down the document in her hand, and Li Mu could see a series of subtle expressions, she knocked on the door at will, and went in.
“What’s the matter?” Ai Xi looked up to see Li Mu and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’ll send you the materials.” Li Mu put the materials on the desk, and the cup of coffee was still steaming. Although the office said it was not suitable for private affairs, Li Mu couldn’t help caring when he saw Ai Xi’s pale face. “Does it hurt?”
Ai Xi didn’t understand what Li Mu said in the second half of the sentence, so she reached out and picked up the coffee cup, “Well, if you’re okay, go out.”
Just as she was about to drink it, Li Mu literally “snatched” the cup from her hand, “Don’t drink coffee during your period!”
“I…I’m going to make brown sugar water for you.” Li Mu went to the tea room with the cup in his hand.
Before leaving, Li Mu deliberately turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. Although it seemed like a smooth action, it was really caring. To be honest, Ai Xi was moved many times by Li Mu’s “quiet” care.
“thanks.”
The brown sugar water was also delivered, but Li Mu didn’t leave, so Ai Xi had to ask, “Is there anything else?”
“I see you finish drinking before leaving.”
“Li Mu…” Ai Xi wanted to remind her that this was the office, but she couldn’t refuse her concern, “How do you know about me…”
Faced with the people he cares about, he will pay attention to every bit of it, not to mention the critical days of every month. Seeing that there is no one else by his side, Li Mu pulls a chair and sits down beside Ai Xi, his arms resting on his side. On the desk, he whispered to Ai Xi, “Because…because you put your aunt on the toilet seat in the morning…”
“Pfft…” Ai Xi just drank a sip of brown sugar water and sprayed it directly on Li Mu’s face, “Ah, not good…”
Ai Xi took out a tissue and hurriedly wiped Li Mu’s face. She wanted to say “I’m sorry”, but Li Mu’s expression just now was really untidy.
Li Mu brought his face closer to Ai Xi so that she could wipe it, and grinned and smiled, “I’m joking.”
“It’s disgusting, you wipe it yourself.”
When Li Mu took the paper handkerchief from Ai Xi’s hand, he deliberately held her hand. Although it was only a short two seconds, it conveyed a lot.
Ai Xi withdrew her hand and avoided Li Mu’s fiery eyes. Every time Li Mu looked at her like this, it would make her faintly uneasy, “Li Mu…this is the company.”
You can’t do this in the company, does that mean you can do it at home? Ai Xi’s words were like connivance in disguised form. Both of them were aware of this meaning. Ai Xi wanted to explain, but what could he explain?
“That… I went to work.”
Li Mu is still complacent about his small breakthrough. He dares to hold her hand today, and he will develop further tomorrow… As long as Ai Xi does not resist herself, one day, she will get closer and closer.
Back at the work station, the atmosphere of the planning department was obviously not right. With this feeling of “mountains and rain are coming and the wind is blowing over the building”, Li Mu knew that something big was about to happen, and the gun shot the first bird, although he didn’t know what it was, It would be better for Li Mu to remain silent.
“…So, no one can go?”
The head of the department repeated the business trip task again, and Li Mu completely understood what was going on. Who wouldn’t want to sit in the office and blow the air conditioner on a hot day, no one would want to go on a business trip without commission.
“It happens that the assistant director has also asked for personal leave…” The director has a big head, and it’s no wonder that everyone is not very motivated. After all, there is still a lot of time to do your own work, not to mention recruiting extra work.
Director? Director!
“… Director Ai is going?”
“Assistant Director Ai has taken a leave of absence, there is just a shortage of people who understand the project, but everyone has a lot of things at hand this week.”
Li Mu looked left and right, and sure enough, no one had the will. She raised her hand with joy, for fear that this beautiful errand would fall into someone else’s hands, “Director, either…or should I go?”
“Come on, are you in time for your work this week? Besides, you didn’t participate in this project, and you don’t understand the project.”
Li Mu instantly turned from the late stage of lazy cancer to Sanniang desperately, and nodded seriously, “Don’t worry, the progress of the work is guaranteed not to be delayed. As for the project, I will go back to charge it properly at night.”
Although Li Mu is not an ideal candidate, no one else is willing to do this errand, “Then you have to work hard.”
“Not hard! Not hard!”
Only she knows whether it is hard or not. When everyone in the company left, Li Mu was still there to catch up with the work schedule, and no one would complete her assigned tasks during the business trip.
Ai Xi stopped at a familiar intersection. Li Mu usually waited for her here. Before she knew it, it had become a habit to go home together to buy food and eat together. Li Mu’s mouth was always cheap, no matter how much he worked during the day. Tired, after work is still alive and well.
The first wait was forty minutes. Looking at the hour hand of the watch pointing to 6, Ai Xi finally couldn’t help sending a text message to Li Mu, “Working overtime today?”
It took ten minutes for Li Mu to see this text message. Since she came back from the beach, she and Ai Xi have had little communication. This time, it was the first time Ai Xi contacted her since she came back. In an instant, Li Mu’s exhaustion disappeared and he replied to the text message. : “Well, I’ll be back later.”
Still worried, Li Mu called Ai Xi back, “I can’t come back to cook today, I ordered takeout for you… Remember to eat.”
“Li Mu, you don’t have to do this…” Li Mu seems to take cooking for himself as an obligation. What reason does Ai Xi have to accept this openly?
“…Is it as good as before?” Compared with now, Li Mu hopes that Ai Xi can be like before, and the two of them get along very easily, and they don’t have so many worries now.
Ai Xi hung up the phone, looked at the string of mobile phone numbers marked “Four-eyed Frog”, leaned her head against the seat and closed her eyes, like before? Li Mu, we can’t go back to the past.
After working overtime until nine o’clock, Li Mu came home with a thick book of project materials. She put on glasses and a work bar, and read all night with the lights on.
Ai Xi may know why Li Mu insisted on fighting for this business trip. She woke up three times at night and quietly pulled the bedroom door through a slit, and the lights in the living room were all on.
At four o’clock in the morning, Li Mu was finally no match for the sleepy bug. The upper and lower eyelids were wearily pressed together. Instead, Ai Xi fell asleep. She opened the door to go out, and saw Li Mu lying on the sofa with all his back and forth. With a plan on his face…
Taking the plan from her hand, Ai Xi gently lifted Li Mu’s legs onto the sofa, flattened them, and then pulled the quilt to cover her. The sleeping expression was still stubborn and serious. Li Mu was serious. Niu temper, was in high school, still is.
“…I like you…”
“…don’t hate me…”
The author has something to say: After more sleep, good night.
There must be great progress on business trips, and cheer for the little wood~
