Chapter 267: Tossing and turning (Part 2)
A biological laboratory outside the Fourth Ring Road had a leakage accident. Although the escape of toxic gases had been effectively controlled, Xie Dingyuan still went there in person to be on the safe side.
The man has been busy since two o'clock in the afternoon, and his eyes are full of fatigue.
His eyes glanced over casually, and the next second, they suddenly stopped.
Across the street, outside a convenience store, a girl was sitting on a chair, talking to a middle-aged man.
Although only a side profile was revealed, Xie Dingyuan recognized it at a glance -
Jiang, Fu, Yue!
After buying the candy, the driver came out of the store, quickly crossed the road, and returned to the driver's seat, but saw that the back seat window was open. He quickly pressed the main control, and the window slowly rose and finally closed.
He started the engine and steered the car expertly.
Soon, the Bentley drove out of the residential area and rejoined the main road.
During this time, the driver looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror many times and saw that Xie Dingyuan had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
He looked away and focused on driving.
Half an hour later, the Bentley drove into the Yutian Mansion: "Master Jiu, we're here."
Xie Dingyuan hummed lightly, opened his eyes, then pushed the door and got out of the car.
When he got home, he took out his phone and called Sheng Yiming: "Book a flight to the capital tomorrow."
Sheng Yiming: "About what time?"
Xie Dingyuan: "The sooner the better."
"yes."
After the call ended, Xie Dingyuan went upstairs, packed his luggage and prepared to take a shower.
Just as I reached the bathroom door, I suddenly stopped and several fragments flashed through my mind, and the same woman's face appeared in all of them.
He frowned and forced his mind to blank.
This trick was still effective. Soon, he cleared his mind and took another step.
Soon, the sound of water was heard.
Ten minutes later, he came out wrapped in a bath towel, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back, changed the bath towel into a bathrobe, and tied the belt tightly before stopping.
He immediately went out to the balcony, looked around, checked everything, and then closed the glass sliding door between the balcony and the master bedroom. There was a swish sound—
The curtains were drawn, blocking out everything in the room.
Xie Dingyuan took a few satisfied glances, and only after making sure everything was properly covered did he lie down on the bed.
I reached into the drawer, took out my headphones, put them on, and prepared to listen to an SCI paper.
Suddenly, a few fragments popped up in my mind without any warning.
This time it was no longer at the bathroom door, but on this bed, he and Jiang Fuyue -
The airtight, stuffy bed, the warmth within reach, the breath as pure as orchid, and the pair of peach blossom eyes that reflected my own appearance...
Torment, forbearance, and unbearable.
Xie Dingyuan took a quick breath and raised his hand to pull off his headphones.
Why do you think of her?
Unfortunately, no one can give an answer.
He simply gave up the idea of listening to the paper, turned off the lights, lay down, and began to fall asleep.
Ten minutes later...
Xie Dingyuan turned over eight times, his eyes filled with the night, and he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
He continued to brew.
Another ten minutes passed.
The man turned over and sat up, clicked the light, and not only did he not fall asleep, he seemed even more irritable.
When he thought about the position where he was lying now, which Jiang Fuyue had also slept in this morning, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
Disgusted?
It doesn't seem so.
like?
No way!
So what is it that you neither hate nor like?
Xie Dingyuan didn't know either.
He lifted the quilt, stood in front of the bed and pondered for a while, then took out a new set of sheets from the cabinet and started to change them.
Twenty minutes later, the original sheets and quilt covers were piled on the floor and thrown into the laundry room by Xie Dingyuan.
Looking at the brand new bed in front of me, I can finally lie down in peace.
Half an hour later, the light in the master bedroom came on again. Xie Dingyuan sat up from the bed with a dark face, hugged his pillow and walked out of the room, intending to spend the night in the guest room.
Suddenly, he stopped, as if he was scalded, threw the pillow back on the bed, and walked away without looking back.
This time, lying on the bed in the bedroom, those strange judgments finally stopped running through my mind.
Xie Dingyuan fell asleep quickly.
But things seem to be getting worse...
In his dreams, there was always a pair of watery peach blossom eyes looking at him, and a sweet citrus fragrance lingered around him, tempting him to come closer, closer, to take a sip, and then another sip...
Xie Dingyuan did it as if possessed by a ghost, and then he suddenly touched something warm and soft in the fog.
He looked up in horror, only to meet the girl's beautiful face.
Her skin is as white as snow and her cheeks are rosy.
At this moment, she was looking at him, her red lips slightly parted——
"Do I smell good?"
Xie Dingyuan pushed her away suddenly and retreated quickly. At this moment, the surrounding environment changed and a sea of fire appeared. His whole body temperature began to rise uncontrollably.
There was no way to retreat, but the girl was still approaching.
"Do I smell good?" she asked again.
Xie Dingyuan opened his mouth to deny it, but the moment his mouth opened, he said: "Xiang."
He was awakened by his own insincere words. He opened his eyes suddenly and sat up. His back was already soaked with sweat.
The scene in the dream was so clear, the girl's every smile and frown, her pressing steps, his own loss of control and retreat, every detail could be replayed.
Xie Dingyuan cursed, got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of water was heard.
I am destined to be sleepless tonight.
In the same community, in another detached villa, Jiang Fuyue was sleeping soundly.
The next morning at six o'clock, she went downstairs with her luggage. Han Yunru had already prepared breakfast and was waiting in the dining room.
"We'll eat before going to the airport. We still have a few hours left. We can't wait on an empty stomach."
"Thank you, Mom."
Han Yunru touched her face, and her eyes clearly showed that she had a lot to say, but in the end she didn't say a word.
"Yueyue, be safe." Finally, Han Yunru sent her out and only said these five words.
That's it.
At seven o'clock, Jiang Da went downstairs, wearing a sweatshirt, shorts, and plastic slippers. When he woke up and looked at the magnificent surroundings, he was a little overwhelmed.
He walked into the kitchen in a daze, and seeing his wife busying around, he finally felt a little familiar.
"Wife..."
"woke up?"
"Um."
"Hurry up and clean up, have breakfast, and then go open the store."
Jiang Da was stunned: "Didn't you say you wanted to rest for two more days?"
Han Yunru rolled her eyes at him. "Yueyue's gone, why are you still taking a break? Besides, are we still making any money? Don't think we can just live in a villa and live off our savings."
"Make money! Of course I have to make money! I also have to save up for Yueyue's dowry, right?"
"You're still somewhat aware. Oh, and call Sister Liu and tell her to come to the store today."
"Okay! Let's go now!"
…
Jiang Fuyue arrived at the airport at 7:30, checked in her luggage, went through security, and waited for boarding, just in time.
At eight o'clock, the flight attendants began to check each seat.
A man arrived late and boarded the plane through a special channel. He walked with a breeze and the corners of his clothes were sharp.
At the same time, he was still talking on the phone, and his tone was very bad——
"I'm flying at 8:20, and you called me at 7:30?! Sheng Yiming, is this how you act as an assistant? I'll fine you half a year's performance!"
There was a wailing sound from the other end, and one can imagine how destructive this "half-year performance" was.
Sheng Yiming took the phone and saw that the call was already dead!
He really felt wronged.
I called him at 7:30, not to wake Xie Dingyuan up, but to ask him how to deal with the gas leak accident. How did it become that I was waking him up too late?
Professor Xie, a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder who is so self-disciplined that he becomes abnormal, when does he ever need an assistant to wake him up?
Are you kidding?
Or...
Sheng Yiming stroked his chin. Had he offended this big Buddha recently?
This shouldn't be the case! They only met twice after Xie Dingyuan came back from the imperial capital!
One of them was through the glass door of the laboratory, so...
What did he do wrong?
Sheng Yiming covered his face, feeling blue and sad, like a mushroom...
Xie Dingyuan put away his phone and found his seat by the window.
There was already someone sitting outside. "Excuse me, please let—"
Jiang Fuyue: "Thank you, Professor. What a coincidence."
The man looked up suddenly.
At that moment, Jiang Fuyue actually saw a hint of... horror in the other person's eyes?
But when I looked carefully again, there was nothing.
Xie Dingyuan stood in the aisle, still with that expressionless face and indifferent eyes without a trace of worldly air.
High and mighty, cold and arrogant.
"What a coincidence." he replied.
Jiang Fuyue retracted her legs to make it easier for him to enter.
The man walked past her, and the pleasant smell of aftershave wafted into her nostrils.
Xie Dingyuan calmly sat down and fastened his seat belt.
But only he himself knew how stiff his whole body was.
Why is she here?
Ran away from a dream?
Or... is he still dreaming? !
Here it comes, that sweet citrus scent is coming again!
Second update, 3,000 words, thank you Jiujiu for staying up late at night.
Third watch at 12:30! Muah~
