Beijing and Hong Kong kiss

Lin You had dark circles under his eyes and finally made it to lunch time.

She yawned and sent a message to Chen Lingling saying that she would not go to eat lunch.

Chen Lingling replied quickly, thinking that she was going to work overtime.

"Eating is the most important thing in the world. No matter how busy you are at work, you have to eat first! Come down to me!"

Lin You held a water cup in his left hand and a mobile phone in his right hand, and said in a voice message: "It's not that I'm working overtime, but I didn't sleep well last night... I'm very sleepy..."

"Something's wrong. Isn't your daily routine always the most regular?" Chen Lingling immediately smelled gossip and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you have a secret meeting with a man last night? Is there something wrong with you?"

When Lin You was asked this, she couldn't help but think of Shi Jingyuan sending her home last night.

She didn't know when she fell asleep in the car. When she woke up, the car had been parked in front of the gate of her community for a long time.

She was covered with Shi Jingyuan's coat, and through the car window she saw him standing under the dim yellow street light, smoking.

In the hazy smoke, he seemed to look up into the car.

Just one glance and Lin You was so scared that he instinctively closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Five minutes later, after he finished smoking and got back into the car, he said to her jokingly:

"I just saw you wake up. It's not that I don't allow you to sleep in the car...but parking is not allowed here. The security guard has come to remind you three times."

"It doesn't matter if I don't live here, but you..."

Lin You has never been so embarrassed!

What on earth is wrong with her? Why should she pretend to be asleep?

Wasn't it just a sneak peek at him?

He is good-looking, which woman wouldn't take a second look at him?

She was just appreciating the beauty of that moment! It didn't mean anything!

At that time, she was so embarrassed that she could dig out a sea view room with her toes, so before he could finish, she opened the door and ran away with her coat...

Literally ran away!

This act of fleeing made her feel so ashamed again that she tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. When she woke up this morning, her sleep was severely imbalanced.

However, the real reason was too embarrassing, so she naturally wouldn't tell it.

"I had a department dinner last night and drank too much."

It was a reasonable excuse and Chen Lingling had no doubt at all.

Colleagues went to the cafeteria one after another. Lin You put the U-shaped pillow on the table, leaned his cheek against it, and fell asleep soon after.

It’s a pity that she still slept uneasily. In her dreams, there always seemed to be a street lamp and a smoking figure.

It turns out that all emotions cannot withstand the test of time.

This embarrassing social incident no longer affected her sleep after a few days, and she returned to her daily routine.

Shi Jingyuan and she were not from the same world, and even a brief contact would not change the reality that they were from different classes and circles.

In the morning, when Lin You went to the Finance Department to sign the reimbursement form, he ran into Manager Wang.

He was flirting with a female colleague in the office, and his dirty hands were on her waist. Seeing him moving down, Lin You sneered and knocked on the door.

Manager Wang's smile froze and he withdrew his hand angrily.

When the female colleague saw Lin You, she thought she had seen a savior. She pulled Lin You back to his workstation and handled the reimbursement procedures for him.

"Lin You..." The female colleague read the name on the expense report and said with a smile, "Thank you just now. I know you saw it."

"..." Lin You pursed his lips, "You're welcome."

After the female colleague registered the form she signed, she gave her a receipt. Perhaps because she was angry, she couldn't help but vent a few words in front of Lin You.

"If it was when I was younger, I would have slapped him in the face. But now, I have old people above me and young children to take care of, so I can't afford to be willful."

"I have to endure it for the sake of living. If my family is financially better off, who would want to endure this kind of humiliation?"

Lin You took the list and put it back in the folder, saying softly, "Well, I understand."

The female colleague looked up and smiled at her, "I didn't realize you're quite mature."

Lin You: "I'm not young anymore. I'm... past the age where I would get impulsive because of a momentary injustice."

So, after she told Shi Jingyuan about Manager Wang harassing female employees, Manager Wang was still in his leadership position, and nothing had changed...

She didn't seem to find this result that difficult to accept.

How could she forget that he was Mr. Shi, who stood in the top wealthy circle, and he was just a person in that circle. As long as it did not affect their interests, it was not worth them doing anything.

Those people are like this, and so is he...

When Lin You got off work, he just walked out of the company door and received another call from Ms. Su Yu.

"It's been so many days! How are things going between you and Xiao Cheng?"

"Your cousin's birthday is coming up in a couple of days. If he asks about you two, what do you want me to tell him?"

"What did you promise me last time? Didn't you say you would be nice to me?"

Lin You felt a dull pain in her temple. When Ms. Su Yu was about to go over the past and write a 5,000-word essay, she was shocked to see Cheng Hao walking towards her.

How does the saying go? Speak of the devil and he will appear.

"Mom... Cheng Hao came to see me. I won't talk to you for now." Lin You was still a little confused.

"Xiao Cheng?" Ms. Su Yu laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter. "Okay, okay, you two can go on your date. I'm hanging up now."

The beeping sound from the phone made Lin You feel that Ms. Su was eager to kick her out of the house.

Cheng Hao was wearing a well-fitting black suit, carrying a briefcase in one hand and a custom-made dessert in the other.

He walked up to Lin You, with the calmness of a mature man in his eyes, as if no matter how embarrassing the situation was, he could handle it calmly.

"Long time no see, Miss Lin."

He greeted politely.

Lin You came back to his senses, "Long time no see."

There were people coming and going in front of the company when people were leaving get off work. The two of them looked around and walked to the side tacitly.

"Mr. Cheng..."

"Ms. Lin..."

They spoke at the same time, were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Hao was very gentlemanly, "You speak first."

Lin You was not polite and considered his words carefully before speaking.

"After the last meeting with Mr. Cheng, I thought we would no longer have any contact, but Ms. Su... uh, my mother, she said that you told my uncle that you wanted to develop a further relationship with me?"

She got straight to the point and didn't want to waste time testing each other.

Cheng Hao was not surprised by her outspokenness. After all, he had seen it last time.

"I came here this time just for this matter." He raised the dessert in his hand, "This is an apology gift. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

He was sincere, but he didn't feel any guilt or remorse.

Lin You frowned and said nothing.

"Last time I said that going on a blind date was not my intention. I did not lie to Miss Lin."

He said self-deprecatingly: "Look at my age. I'm not in a hurry, but my family is. They always think that my daughter and I need a complete family. As long as I don't remarry, they will continue to introduce suitable partners to me."

His words made Lin You feel the same way.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the profile of the person in front of her. When she looked at him again, she saw the fatigue and loneliness in his eyes.

"They hope that you will have a complete family after remarrying, but they don't realize that you and your daughter already have a complete family, and your life does not necessarily need another person to participate."

She just sighed in her heart, and felt regretful after she said it out loud.

She and he were not even familiar with each other, so how could she be qualified to judge other people's lives.

She immediately made up for it: "Sorry."

After hearing this, Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, and then a faint light flashed in his eyes.

"It's okay, you're right."

Her attitude made Cheng Hao feel that this trip was the right one, so he took the opportunity to make an unreasonable request.

"I think Miss Lin and I have the same troubles, so how about... we work together to deal with it?"
