Since that night, Ye Ying took a week-long leave.

Until Xia Ziyu called.

"Hey."

Ye Ying picked up the phone.

Xia Ziyu coughed dryly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

When Ye Ying heard his voice, she thought of that night and her cheeks became hot.

There was embarrassment in both of their voices.

Xia Ziyu sighed: "If you feel embarrassed to see me, I can change your position or recommend you to my friend's company."

Ye Ying shook her head: "No, I just want to take a break. Is the company busy?"

"There will be a new product launch in a few days..."

He suddenly stopped, coughed a few times, and then said, "It's indeed very busy."

Ye Ying could tell that he had a heavy nasal tone when he spoke: "Are you sick?"

"It's just a minor problem. I hope you're okay."

There was a faint sound of someone talking to Xia Ziyu on the phone, so Xia Ziyu hung up in a hurry.

Ye Ying thought that the whole company had been busy with new products during this period, but she was hiding at this critical moment. That night... it was not Xia Ziyu's fault.

Thinking of this, she made a decision.

the next day.

In the company, Xia Ziyu, who had just stayed up all night, was looking down at the press release. Without even looking up, he said, "Go get me a cup of coffee."

After a while, a cup of coffee was placed in front of me.

Xia Ziyu reached out to take it and suddenly touched the other person's fingers.

As if sensing something, he subconsciously looked up, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

Ye Ying smiled and said, "I said I would support you. How can I be a deserter at such a critical moment?"

"If you really don't want to come, no one will say anything to you."

After saying this, Xia Ziyu seemed to be hesitant to talk.

Ye Ying said: "I'm fine. We've already agreed on this, right? We've all forgotten what happened that night."

Without waiting for Xia Ziyu to answer, she turned and left.

Watching her leave, Xia Ziyu raised his hand and gently rubbed his temple.

During this week, he dreamed of Ye Ying and the scenes of that night almost every night.

Sometimes there is also Luo Jinxin.

The scene of Luo Jinxin jumping from the building always woke him up.

It seemed as if something was tearing at his heart, making his chest feel choked up.

But soon, the busy work distracted his attention.

Ye Ying was busy all day, going in and out of the office with documents. Apart from work, the two had no other communication.

It was not until the evening when Xia Ziyu wanted to drink coffee that she found the cup was empty.

He walked out with the cup in his hand and saw Ye Ying sleeping on the table.

She slept very quietly, with her face resting on her arm, revealing a slender, white neck.

But the space between his brows was always slightly furrowed, as if he was worried about something.

The cold air was so strong that a layer of fine particles appeared on her arms, and her arms tightened unconsciously.

Seeing this, Xia Ziyu took off his suit jacket and gently covered her with it.

**

Ye Ying woke up suddenly and checked the time. It was already late at night.

She straightened up and something slipped from her shoulder.

When I looked down, I saw it was a suit jacket. It looked very familiar, and it seemed to be Xia Ziyu's.

I bent down to pick it up, and there was a very familiar faint scent of sandalwood on it.

When did he cover her up?

Ye Ying gradually tightened her grip on her coat, stood up and quietly walked to the office door, stretching her neck to look inside.

Xia Ziyu was wearing a white shirt and working in front of the computer, his slender fingers flying on the keyboard.

From time to time, he coughed a few times.

"Mr. Xia."

Ye Ying walked in.

"woke up?"

Xia Ziyu looked up and smiled at her.

Ye Ying put the coat on the sofa beside her and said, "I'll give you the coat back."

Xia Ziyu looked calm: "If it's cold, use it."

Ye Ying didn't continue talking along with his words, but said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Wait a moment, I'll be done soon and take you back later. It's not safe this late."

Xia Ziyu said.

"it is good."

Ye Ying didn't refuse.

After waiting for a while, Xia Ziyu finished his work and Ye Ying took a ride with him back home.

On the way, in order to avoid embarrassment, Ye Ying kept looking out the window.

I gradually felt the man next to me getting closer and closer, and then, my shoulder suddenly felt heavy.

Ye Ying turned her head in surprise and saw that Xia Ziyu had fallen asleep leaning on her.

At this time, the assistant in front said, "Boss Xia has been working non-stop for many days and is exhausted."

The hint was obvious, telling her not to wake him up.

Ye Ying had no intention of waking him up, so she nodded and said "hmm" softly.

In the dim light of the car, Ye Ying looked at Xia Ziyu carefully.

He is very handsome, with fair skin and a rare youthfulness. He looks very handsome in a suit and there is no smell of tobacco or alcohol on his body. He and Liang Tianwei are two completely different types of men.

An idea suddenly popped up in Ye Ying's mind: A woman who marries him will definitely be very happy, right?

He is gentle, has high moral standards, and is loyal.

Even though the woman named Luo Jinxin had passed away for so long, he would still talk about her when he was drunk.

Ye Ying was lost in thought all the way. When she arrived at the destination, she looked up and said, "Driver, please drive a little longer."

"clear."

The driver nodded.

Xia Ziyu woke up and casually glanced at his watch. It turned out that more than an hour had passed.

The car stopped downstairs of Ye Ying's house.

He looked at Ye Ying, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Ye Ying curled her lips and said, "You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn't bear to disturb you."

Xia Ziyu's Adam's apple rolled and she didn't know what to say.

Ye Ying didn't give him a chance to express his gratitude. She opened the car door and got out.

"Boss Xia, see you tomorrow."

Watching her walk into the corridor, Xia Ziyu leaned back suddenly, casually untied his tie, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After staring at the roof of the car for a long while, he said, "Let's go home."

the next day.

Xia Ziyu's physical discomfort became more and more obvious, and she went to the company late.

As soon as I walked into the office, I saw a thermos bucket on the table.

"This is?"

Ye Ying walked in quickly and said, "This is the health-preserving soup I cooked. It contains herbs such as tangerine peel, wolfberry, and codonopsis. It replenishes qi and benefits the lungs. It's good for you."

Xia Ziyu seemed a little flattered and looked at her with bright eyes.

Being stared at like this, Ye Ying was inexplicably flustered and quickly explained: "I just wanted to drink it, so I made some more. If you don't like it, it's okay if you don't drink it."

After saying that, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Xia Ziyu cried out "Hey" but failed to stop her.

It's another busy and chaotic day.

When Ye Ying came back from the Propaganda Department, she found a box of snacks on the table, which happened to be the old brand she liked.

There was also a note next to it, which read:

[Thank you for your health-preserving soup. This is a return gift. You’re welcome.]

Ye Ying opened the box and the aroma of the dessert hit her nose. She was curious how Xia Ziyu knew that she liked this restaurant.

Just as I was thinking about it, Wen Yan called.

"Sister, Xia Ziyu suddenly asked me what I like to eat. What does he mean? Could he be trying to woo you?"

Ye Ying said quickly: "Impossible, he has someone he likes, why would he want to pursue me? Maybe he has been too busy these past few days, so he bought some snacks to make up for it."

"Oh, I thought there was some spark between you two."

Wen Yan smiled gossipy.

"Little sister, stop teasing me. I'm going to be busy now."

Ye Ying's heart beat faster, and she felt that if she talked any longer, she would be exposed.

"Okay, let's talk later."

Wen Yan hung up the phone.

Ye Ying touched the snack box and turned her head to look in the direction of the office. An indescribable throbbing made her heart flutter.

Meanwhile, in the office.

The assistant came in and said, "Boss Xia, Ye Ying saw the box of snacks."

"Well, let's go out."

Xia Ziyu nodded solemnly.

As soon as the assistant left, he supported his chin with both hands, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved upwards.

The assistant came to the door and saw Ye Ying touching the snack box with blushing cheeks. He couldn't help but complain: What's going on between these two? Why do they feel like an innocent boy and girl secretly engaging in an ambiguous relationship?
