Luo Xiyun lived in a suite. In the living room, Chen Xu was sitting on a sofa with a laptop on his lap, typing a document.

Opposite him, Luo Xiyun was having a video call with Liu Kun, introducing him to the content of today's discussion.

Chen Xu glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen. It was already 11:30 in the evening.

They waited in the hospital until ten o'clock. After Secretary Guo woke up, they said goodbye to her and then returned to the hotel to start today's work.

"...Okay, let's do this for now."

Luo Xiyun finally ended the call with Liu Kun, looked at Chen Xu, and asked, "Have you finished your work?"

"It will take another hour." Chen Xu was sorting out today's meeting minutes. This was originally Secretary Guo's job. Since she didn't go, he naturally took over. He had never learned shorthand, so the minutes were a bit messy. Now he had to reorganize them. There was too much content, and he couldn't finish it in a short time.

"You must be hungry too, I'll order some food."

Luo Xiyun picked up the menu, walked to the phone and called to order.

It would be a waste of time to go out to eat at this time, so she just ordered food. It was a bit expensive, but she didn't care about the money.

The hotel's food delivery was quite fast and the dishes came up in a short while.

She ordered Western food, two steaks, and some side dishes. The waiter was considerate and lit three candles on the table.

"Come and eat first. You'll have energy to work after eating." Luo Xiyun greeted.

Chen Xu put down his computer, walked to the dining table and sat down.

This was their second time eating together, and they were also eating Western food. She preferred Western food, not because she liked it, but because she couldn't accept eating from the same plate as others.

Chen Xu discovered these things only after he had been with her for a long time.

When she was with him, she didn't show any rejection. However, that was a special situation. She had been alone in the apocalypse for a month and finally met someone like her, so her mentality was naturally different.

This is a normal situation, her habits are not so easy to change.

The two had only eaten a little bread and milk from noon until now. They were both very hungry and ate quickly.

Chen Xu quickly finished his portion, and ate up all the side dishes and soup. His daily exercise began to pay off, and his appetite increased accordingly.

Seeing how he was eating, Luo Xiyun said, "Are you not full? How about ordering another portion?"

"No need." Chen Xu shook his head, took out a tissue, wiped his mouth, got up and walked to the sofa, picked up the computer, and continued working.

Luo Xiyun finished eating quickly and asked the waiter to come in and clean up. When the waiter left, it was already past twelve o'clock. She cheered up and continued her work.

In the living room, the only sound was the typing of the laptop keyboard.

Half an hour later, Luo Xiyun had finished the work at hand, which was all about what he was going to discuss with Fangdong Group tomorrow. After discussing with Liu Kun just now, he wrote down some key points so as not to forget them tomorrow.

At this time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

She couldn't help but yawn and covered her mouth with her hand.

She was very used to her bed. She had arrived in a new environment. She didn't sleep well last night and got up early in the morning. She was busy all day, and Secretary Guo was sick, so she was tired and sleepy. At this time, she was just forcing herself to stay awake.

Seeing that Chen Xu had not finished yet, she did not disturb him. She picked up her phone and looked at it for a while. However, she became more and more sleepy the more she looked at it. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier. She subconsciously changed to a more comfortable position, leaned her head to the side, and fell asleep.

At this time, Chen Xu raised his eyes and looked at her, with a smile on his face.

It was rare for her to "lose control" like this. Even in real life, after being together for so many years, she rarely relaxed her body completely. Of course, except in some unspeakable scenes.

It can be said that these habits are engraved in her bones.

The fact that she was able to fall asleep in front of him, besides because she was extremely tired, also showed that she was not too wary of him.

This is undoubtedly worth being happy about.

He spent more than ten minutes to finish all the work, turned off the computer, and walked into her room. The bed was covered with a light blue bedspread and a neatly folded thin blanket on it.

Every time she stayed in a hotel, she would use natural bedspreads and blankets, and never used hotel quilts.

He picked up the blanket, went out to the living room, gently covered her with it, turned off the light, and left the room.

…………

The next morning, at the same time, Chen Xu came to the restaurant and saw Luo Xiyun already sitting at a table. A young man was standing next to him, talking about something.

It's obvious at first glance that she's here to flirt.

Chen Xu has long been accustomed to it. In fact, not many people dare to talk to her, but there are always some brave and thick-skinned men who will come forward and try.

"…Add me, let's make friends—"

As he approached, he heard the man still nagging, and said, "Please make way."

The man turned around and looked at him in surprise.

"Excuse me." Chen Xu said.

The man subconsciously took two steps back, walked over and sat opposite Luo Xiyun, "Good morning."

"……morning."

When the man saw this, he moved his mouth and said, "Sorry for disturbing you." Then he left in shame.

I'm still not thick-skinned enough.

Chen Xu thought to herself, and then thought again, even if she became ten times thicker, it wouldn't have any effect on her. If she felt harassed, she would call the police without hesitation.

He thought of that scene and wanted to laugh, but when he remembered that she was right across from him, he held it back, reached out to call the waiter over, and ordered a breakfast.

Luo Xiyun also ordered one. She seemed rather silent today.

There was no doubt that it was because she fell asleep in front of him last night.

He took the initiative to find a topic, "Is Secretary Guo feeling better?"

"Much better." She paused and added, "But she's still a little weak. The doctor asked her to stay in the hospital for one more day."

"That's good." Chen Xu said, "I hope today's discussion will go smoothly."

In reality, his rank was too low at the time, and he did not know the terms of the cooperation between Wanhua Company and Fangdong Group. However, the talks went smoothly. There were no problems, and the butterfly effect he caused now should not affect this cooperation, and it is estimated that it will be finalized soon.
