At this time, she is still very busy, and I often send her messages, but it takes a long time for her to reply.

We won’t have time to rest until at least after the Lantern Festival.

He was thinking about the shares in her agency. If he had a falling out with Yang Jinxia, ​​there would be no hope for this, if nothing else.

As soon as I sent the message, the other party replied. It seems that the phone happened to be with me.

"Not recording a show?"

"It's just my break time, I was just thinking of sending you a message. Are you done with the meeting?"

"Well, now let's get ready to eat."

…………

Now they usually chat. The more familiar they are with each other, the more meaningless the words they talk about. If they talk about serious matters, it seems more like a work relationship.

Chen Xu knew her too well. After all, they had been together in the dream for decades, and it was easy for him to become friends with her on QQ. But it was unlikely to go further, as she was a very cautious person and did not believe in online dating.

So, it's time to meet in person, otherwise, we will just be friends who get along well online.

She is different from Xiyun. It is not possible for her to fall in love over time.

As we chatted, we finally turned to the topic of meeting in person.

"I'll be free on the 10th."

"Okay, let's set the time and place two days in advance."

It's only the 20th now, and there are still more than ten days, so there's no rush.

At this time, he saw Xiyun coming over and sent a message, "I'm going to eat first, we'll talk later." Then he put the phone back in his pocket.

Luo Xiyun sat opposite him and said apologetically, "Sorry, I overslept."

"It's okay, I just arrived too. Let's order." Chen Xu waved his hand, called the waiter over, picked up the menu, and turned to the steak page.

She suddenly said, "I want to eat some Chinese food today."

"Okay, you order it."

She ordered a few dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter. She glanced at him and said, "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as they say."

"Hmm?" Chen Xu looked at her in confusion.

"That's it, mysophobia."

Chen Xu finally understood that she was talking about the dinner she had with her three classmates last night. At that time, they talked about a lot of things about her studying abroad, and of course her cleanliness was not forgotten. "It's nothing. Women are always more clean."

"Do you also think that I'm not easy to get along with?"

"No. I think you're easier to get along with than the bosses I've worked for before."

"Just the boss?"

Just as Chen Xu was about to speak, the dishes came up. After the waiter left, he picked up his chopsticks and said, "It's not a wise thing to become friends with your boss."

Luo Xiyun said, "From now on, we are no longer in a relationship of superior and subordinate."

"Although there is a layer of separation, you are still my leader."

She corrected him, “All subsidiaries of the Tianluo Group are independently operated, so from now on, at most we can be considered as members of the same group.”

"Eat, it will get cold soon."

The two began to eat. Halfway through the meal, she accidentally dropped her spoon. After picking it up, she put it aside and said to him, "Lend me yours."

Chen Xu said, "I have used it."

Chen Xu handed the spoon over and watched her scoop up the soup and put it into her mouth. A ripple appeared in his heart.

"Let's go out for a walk tonight." She said while drinking soup, "I've been in a hurry every time I came to the capital, and I haven't had a good walk yet."

"good."

…………

The capital city at night is exceptionally cold and beautiful.

Chen Xu and his friend both put on down jackets and took a car to go shopping at a nearby famous street. Even though the weather was cold, there were still many people shopping, making the street seem particularly lively.

"I've never been here before. It feels very different from G City." Luo Xiyun talked a lot and smiled more often today.

“Every place has its own characteristics.”

"Well, from now on, let's go to various places in the country and see what the characteristics of those places are."

"I guess we will all be very busy this year, so your wish may not be so easy to fulfill."

"No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to rest." Luo Xiyun said, and suddenly looked at his face and said, "Why is your face so dry? Don't you apply moisturizer?"

Chen Xu said, "I never use these things."

"How can that be? The wind here is dry and cold. If you don't use moisturizer, it will crack soon." She said, pulling him aside.

She took off her thick gloves, took out a box of moisturizer from her bag, unscrewed it, and said, "Don't move."

She scooped a little moisturizer with her fingers, moved closer, stood in front of him, smeared the moisturizer on his face, spread it gently with her fingertips, and said, "Your face is so cold."

Chen Xu felt her fingers touching his face, which was a little itchy. He looked down into her eyes, feeling the white breath she exhaled when she spoke blowing on his chin, and his heart softened.

As if she noticed his gaze, her long eyelashes trembled a few times, her face turned a little red, and the movement of her hands applying the makeup was not as natural as before.

Finally, she finished, stepped back, and said, "That's it."

Chen Xu said, "My lips seem to be a little dry, too."

"I, I have lipstick here." Her voice was a little flustered.

"You've used it, how can you be so embarrassed?"

She whispered, "It's okay," and reached into her bag, pulled out the lipstick and handed it over.

Chen Xu took it and saw that it was red. He had used transparent men's lipstick before, but it was red, and he had never used it before. He gently twisted it open and applied it on his lips.

The lipstick has a light fragrance and it feels amazing when applied to her lips. This is what she uses normally, and it feels like a kiss on her lips.

When he returned the lipstick to her, he saw the blush on her face and felt his willpower becoming weaker and weaker.

"This color suits you very well." She put the things back into her bag, looked up at him, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go inside and take a look." Chen Xu pointed to the nearby shopping mall and said, "There's heating inside, so it's not that cold."

"Okay, I'll buy some gifts to bring back." She naturally held his arm. Even through the thick clothes, she felt a tingling sensation.

Before he walked into the mall, he looked at a mirror and saw that his lips were particularly rosy.

He felt as if he had returned to the time when he was passionately in love with her, the accelerated heartbeat when their eyes met, the tingling sensation when they touched each other inadvertently...

He turned his head to look at her, and saw that her eyes were moving and her face was rosy, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

PS: Something happened at home these days, so I haven’t updated the old book and the manuscript of the new book is gone. Alas.
