Extra: Lu Yannan & Pei Mo Ning (10)
On the other end of the phone, Pei Mo Ning's clear and gentle voice came with a smile: "Lu Yannan, the driver is here, can we go downstairs?"
The natural sound of "Lu Yannan" has a comfortable and intimate feeling.
Lu Yannan's smile deepened, and his voice was low and pleasant: "Okay..."
He stood up and walked around the desk without hesitation.
Lu Chixu on the sofa seemed to smell something and raised his head to stare at his elder brother's actions.
Lu Yannan didn't even look at him, but walked straight to the coat rack at the door, took off his suit jacket neatly and put it on his arm.
Lu Chixu stood up and followed him in a few steps: "Brother? Have you figured it out?" His voice was full of undisguised expectation.
Lu Yannan opened the door and walked out without stopping. He glanced at his brother beside him calmly when he heard the words: "I haven't thought it through. I want to make you hurt."
Not another word.
The two brothers walked into the president's elevator and went downstairs one after the other.
At the entrance of the group building under the cover of night, an unassuming dark-colored sedan was parked quietly in the warm yellow light.
Lu Yannan walked towards the car with firm steps and a clear goal.
Lu Chixu took a step behind and looked in the direction of Lu Yannan.
When he saw the silhouette of a woman reflected on the driver's seat, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
"Oh my god..."
"Brother." He watched Lu Yannan open the passenger door without hesitation and get in, his Adam's apple rolling.
The stainless steel tree...is blooming?! ! !
Lu Yannan sat in the passenger seat and closed the car door.
He turned his head, his eyes falling on Pei Mo Ning's soft profile outlined by the light, and said in a low voice: "The driver is very punctual."
Pei Mo Ning's lips curved slightly, his eyes focused on the front, his fingers on the steering wheel, and started the car: "Do your job when you are in your position."
"Since I'm a driver, I have to be on time."
The car merged smoothly into the night traffic.
As expected, the city's main roads were congested.
The car lights formed a sea of red, slowly crawling forward.
Pei Mo Ning seemed to be well prepared.
She held the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand naturally reached for the center armrest.
After groping for a while, she took out a candy box containing a few mint candies.
She didn't look at Lu Yannan, her gaze still fixed on the stagnant traffic ahead: "Traffic jam, eat some candy to calm your mind?"
She opened the candy box, picked up a candy with her fingertips, and naturally handed it to Lu Yannan.
Lu Yannan withdrew his gaze from the window and fell on the candy she handed over.
He reached out to take it.
Lu Yannan's fingertips rubbed across Pei Mo Ning's warm fingertips.
The touch is slightly cool and delicate, and it passes through you instantly like an electric current.
The two men paused at the same time, then withdrew extremely quickly.
The carriage fell into a subtle silence.
The two of them tacitly turned their gazes to the sea of red taillights in front of them, as if the brief touch just now had never happened.
Then, the suddenly accelerated heartbeat in the chest cavity roared in each person's eardrum like a drum.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frequencies were surprisingly consistent, resonating silently in the narrow space.
Lu Yannan held the candy in his hand, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the smooth candy wrapper.
He didn't peel it off immediately, but just felt the slightly cool touch on his palm and the lingering warmth on his fingertips.
......
Restaurant private room.
The environment is elegant and quiet.
Exquisite dishes are placed on the table.
Pei Mo Ning picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced at Lu Yannan who was sitting opposite him with a calm demeanor.
"It seems... the only places I've seen you are in the restaurant and in the car." There was an unignorable teasing in her tone, and her clear eyes fell on his face.
Lu Yannan put down his chopsticks, picked up his napkin, and elegantly pressed the corners of his mouth, then raised his eyes to meet hers: "A new scene was unlocked today."
"Your consulting room."
Pei Mo Ning's smile deepened when he heard this: "I don't really want to see you in such a new scene."
She deliberately emphasized the three words "new scene" to imply that it was not the professional consultation situation she was happy to see.
Lu Yannan understood what she meant.
He picked up the teapot and naturally filled her half cup of tea, the water pouring into the cup making a pleasant sound.
Putting down the teapot, his gaze fell on her face through the rising tea mist, and he asked tentatively: "Then, unlock some other new scenes?"
He tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. "Like... my office?"
Pei Mo Ning picked up the teacup he had just filled and felt the warmth of the cup wall with his fingertips.
She didn't answer immediately, but tilted her head slightly: "Can you unlock some outdoor scenes?" Her voice was soft and had a clear direction.
Lu Yannan looked at the expectation flashing in her eyes, leaned back slightly, and said, "Okay."
The answer is straightforward.
Pei Mo Ning's eyes lit up with a smile, and she struck while the iron was hot: "The weather is great this weekend." She looked directly at him: "Suitable for exercise, such as... hiking?"
She sent out a clear invitation signal.
Lu Yannan glared at her undisguised intentions, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes flashing with understanding and amusement: "Doctor Pei...does he have a puzzle in his mind?"
His voice deepened, a hint of inquiry lingering in his voice. "Piecing something together... piece by piece?"
Pei Mo Ning did not deny it. She put down the teacup, folded her hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked at him calmly.
"Maybe," she admitted generously, then changed the subject, adding a metaphorical meaning: "But some puzzles cannot be completed by one person alone."
She glanced at the surroundings and then back at his face: "For example, the current scene puzzle."
Lu Yannan's gaze was fixed on her, with complex emotions surging in his eyes.
He was silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly and cautiously: "I can help."
After a pause, he added, "But the spelling... I'm not sure if it's what you want."
This sentence is tentative, but also contains a sense of self-protection and alienation.
Pei Mo Ning picked up the teacup and took another sip, the clear tea moistening her lips.
She put down the cup, her eyes still clear and open: "If you don't spell it...how do you know if the full version is what you want?"
Lu Yannan looked at the light in her eyes, as if being pulled by some force.
He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, his eyes fixed on her face. His voice was low, filled with a tentative promise: "Then... let's fight together?"
Pei Mo Ning's lips curved into a bright arc when he heard this.
She also leaned forward slightly, shortening the already short distance between them, and tilted her head: "One for each of us?"
Her voice was light, as if confirming an unspoken rule of the game.
The two people's eyes met silently in the air.
The city lights outside the window shone through the glass, casting hazy shadows on the two of them.
They leaned forward across the dining table, their eyes locked, with knowing smiles on their faces.
