Luo Xiyun was sitting on the sofa in the hall, flipping through a magazine. As if she noticed his presence, she raised her eyes and met his gaze.

Chen Xu smiled slightly and walked into the hotel. Luo Xiyun also put the magazine back to its place and stood up.

"Why are you waiting here?" Chen Xu walked up to her, held her hand and said.

Luo Xiyun reached out to help him remove a hair from his collar and said, "I just sent a client down, and I thought you would be here soon, so I'll sit here for a while."

"Client? Male or female?"

Luo Xiyun glanced at him and said, "Male."

Chen Xu smiled, pecked her on the lips, put one arm around her waist, carried the luggage bag in the other, and walked into the hotel.

"Where are Secretary Guo and the others?"

"Still jet lagged."

Chen Xu looked at her face. She didn't look very sleepy, so he said, "We'll go back to the room later. You should also have a good rest."

At this time, the two walked to the elevator, and Luo Xiyun said, "I want you to accompany me."

"Okay, I'll stay with you today."

After returning to the room, Chen Xu was pushed into the bathroom by Luo Xiyun.

After the two of them got together, Luo Xiyun's mysophobia was not so serious. After all, men were sometimes lazy and careless, and she had gotten used to it.

However, now that Chen Xu had been on a plane for several hours and then took a taxi, he naturally had to wash himself thoroughly.

After a while, Chen Xu finished his shower, changed into new clothes and came out, wiping his hair with a towel. He was not used to using a hair dryer, so every time after taking a shower, he would let his hair dry naturally.

Luo Xiyun was looking through documents in the room. Chen Xu hugged her from behind, rubbed his nose against her cheek, and said, "What are you still busy with?"

She felt a little itchy from his beard, so she dodged for a moment and said, "How many days have you not shaved?"

"It's been two or three days." Chen Xu touched the edge of his mouth. There was a layer of newly grown stubble, which was indeed a bit prickly. He let go of his hand, sat down on the bed, took out his notebook, and started working.

The two of them were doing their own things and no one spoke for a while. The only sounds were the typing on the keyboard and the occasional turning of papers.

In the dream, the two of them have been together for more than ten years, and they are together day and night. It is no exaggeration to say that the time they have spent together exceeds that of many couples who have been married for life.

At this stage, they won't say sweet words all the time. In fact, most of the time, they are like now, quietly doing their own things and rarely even talking.

But for Chen Xu, this is different from when he is alone. With his lover by his side, even if they don’t chat, just being in the same room makes him feel safe.

…………

After nightfall, Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun walked out of the hotel without anyone following them. It was a rare trip, so they naturally wanted to go shopping.

Although the weather was cold, there were many pedestrians on the street.

The hotel was near the Oriental Pearl Tower. The two did not drive. They just walked there hand in hand, looking at the surrounding night view and feeling the prosperity of the city.

In their dreams, they have seen a lot of high-tech things. After playing the game "Second Life", they have also seen many of the magnificent scenery of nature.

What they like more now is the human atmosphere in this peaceful environment.

They walked around the Oriental Pearl Tower and when they saw it was almost time, they headed back.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Luo Xiyun suddenly asked halfway.

Chen Xu was staring at a couple walking over from the opposite side. Hearing this, he retracted his gaze and said, "I have already made a plan."

"Look at them. I wonder what it was like when you were in middle school."

The couple just now were not very old and looked like middle school students.

"At that time, I was concentrating on studying. Even if I met you, I wouldn't even look at you."

Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh when thinking about that scene. They were about the same age. When she was in middle school, he was also in middle school and still in his hometown, so naturally there would be no overlap in their tasks.

Then, Luo Xiyun returned to the original topic, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Go to a concert."

Luo Xiyun let go of his hand.

Chen Xu turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

“I’m not happy.”

"Come on, everything was fine just now, why did it suddenly become like this?"

Luo Xiyun glared at him and said, "You ask even though you already know the answer."

Chen Xu laughed, suddenly squatted down, picked her up horizontally, and said, "Well, I'll carry you back as an apology."

This immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

Luo Xiyun was being watched by so many people, her face turned red, and she struggled to say, "Put me down quickly."

"No, not for the rest of my life." Chen Xu hugged her tightly and walked towards the hotel.

Luo Xiyun didn't dare to use too much force for fear of falling, so she hugged his neck.

Chen Xu held her in his arms and walked all the way back to the hotel. It was a distance of more than a thousand meters and he only sweated a little.

When I walked to the hotel entrance, I happened to meet Secretary Guo and his group. Each of them was carrying large and small bags, and they had obviously just returned from shopping. They were originally talking and laughing, but when they saw Chen Xu holding Luo Xiyun, they instantly quieted down.

Usually, Luo Xiyun is very strict with her employees and has a harsh attitude. In addition, she is highly skilled and has a high reputation among her employees despite her young age. Now seeing her like a little girl, being held in the arms of her boyfriend, her tall image seems to have collapsed a bit.

In this silence, Luo Xiyun was the first to react. He struggled hard to break free from Chen Xu's arms, pulled his clothes, nodded to the employees, and walked inside.

Chen Xu noticed that her face was a little red, and he felt a little amused. He said to Secretary Guo and the others, "Are you going out to buy something?"

Secretary Guo said, "Yes, buy some souvenirs. Well, I have to go buy something else." After saying that, he turned and left. The other people looked at each other, and also said they wanted to buy things, and followed Secretary Guo.

Chen Xu smiled, shook his head and walked into the hotel.

After entering the elevator, Luo Xiyun complained, "It's all your fault. You made me lose face in front of them."

Chen Xu said with a smile, "How can this be embarrassing? You are my girlfriend, everyone knows this. Isn't it normal for a boyfriend to hug his girlfriend?"

"How is that the same?"

"Okay, it's my fault. Wait a minute, I will make it up to you."

"I don't want to."

PS: Oh my god, as soon as the wisdom tooth on the right was removed, the one on the left started to grow wildly, squeezing the ear teeth next to it loose. It hurts so much.
