Four years passed in a flash, and summer came as promised.

The scorching sun is scorching the earth, the thick green leaves can't stand the sun, the streets are full of heat, and the cicadas are screaming crazily, complaining about the hot summer.

Contrary to this scene, the Xi's Group building at noon was so quiet that not even a single cicada chirped.

The black car parked under the company building. Before the people in the car got out of the car, an alarm sounded in the company.

Xi Wang, who was on a business trip, is back!

Everyone used to think that the incident four years ago was just an emergency, but they didn't expect it to become the norm.

Xi Wang got out of the car, walked into the company building with a blank face, passed by those who greeted her and nodded, and got on the elevator.

The silver elevator door opened slowly on the 26th floor, and the secretary who had been waiting at the door followed behind Xi Wang, telling her today's itinerary, "Mr. The arrangement is until ten o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and tomorrow at noon I will have a dinner with Mr. Wu from Mingchen Pictures..."

It was rare that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, but Xi Wangwang still walked towards the office.

In the four years when Lu Ming was away, Xi Wang seemed to be possessed by Xi Yan, making the family business big and good.

She fills up her time so masochistically that she doesn't even have time to be sick, let alone fall in love.

For four years, she has been single, and no one has ever sat in her car.

It was as if the position next to her had been reserved for someone.

Sitting in the office, Xi Wang opened the document that Wang Manyan brought this morning that the secretary specially mentioned.

There was a stack of resume-like things in the folder, and when it was opened, many pictures of beautiful women fell out of it.

Xi Wang looked at the photos of women on this table, "..."

The year before last, under Xi Ji's relentless urging, she came out openly, making a good Lantern Festival even worse.

The old man became angry, and stayed in the house like an old child for three or four days, and then came out of the house on the fifth day when Aunt Liu was very worried.

He quickly accepted the fact that Xi Wang was dead, and the elite men he introduced to Xi Wang also became elite ladies.

The tireless urging of the marriage continued, and the extravagant blind date became more intense.

The old man even teamed up with Wang Manyan, and often asked her to push photos of beauties she had passed to Xi Wang.

Xi Wang looked at the pile of photos and threw them all into the trash can at his feet.

Just like the fate of those photos before.

At this moment, Xi Wang's cell phone rang, and it was Xi Ji's call.

Xi Wang: "Grandpa."

Xi Ji cut to the chase and said, "How is it? Have you returned to the company? Did Man Yan show you the photos? Is there anyone you like?"

Faced with this series of questions, Xi Wang frowned, and said without euphemism: "No."

Xi Ji pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, "You child, you are so old, you can't be single all the time. I'm doing this for your own good. Although it's not easy for you to find a good family like this first, but you are kind-hearted. Don’t make any plans, that’s all.”

Xi Wang listened to the sutra that Xi Ji had to recite every time, and gave a perfunctory "hmm".

It's just that this time Xi Ji was not the same as in the past, following Xi Wang's perfunctory excuses, he stopped talking, his voice was a little higher, and he said, "I don't care, if you don't choose one of these people this time to go on a blind date, you will have a blind date this year." Don't even think about coming to my house to celebrate the New Year with me!"

After finishing speaking, Xi Ji hung up the phone.

Listening to An Ji on the phone, Xi Wang knew that the old man seemed really anxious about Xi Wang finding a girlfriend.

She sighed, not knowing who provoked him again today, and helplessly picked out those photos that had been thrown into the trash can.

Xi Wang looked at the long legs everywhere, and was a little confused for a while.

To be honest, she didn't know what kind of woman she liked, why she told Xi Ji that what she liked was actually a woman on the Lantern Festival when Xi Ji pushed him into a hurry.

Or a girl... a little girl.

Thinking of this, Xi Wang paused for a moment.

Looking at the picture of the woman in front of her, she blinked unnaturally.

This person's eyes are really familiar, as if...

Xi Wang looked at this photo for a long time, neither throwing it nor putting it down.

The feeling that she has been pressing in her heart is trying to break through this barren soil and grow branches.

It turned out that the mistake that had been hinting in her heart that she wanted to kill it was still hidden in her heart until now.

"How about it, is there anything you like?"

At this moment, Wang Manyan entered Xi Wang's office without knocking.

The fragile branch retracted back into the soil.

Xi Wang glanced at Wang Manyan, but did not answer her.

Wang Manyan realized that when he saw Xi Wang looking at the photo, he walked over to him, took the photo in Xi Wang's hand unceremoniously, and commented: "The vision is good, this is a professor of University A, knowledgeable, calm, temperament It's also outstanding, and it suits you very well."

Xi Wang remained silent, she didn't think this person could suit her just by looking at the photos.

Seeing Cai Xi Wang staring at the photo for a long time, Wang Manyan asked, "Did you like it?"

Xi Wang: "The old man wants to make a blind date."

Wang Manyan pursed his lips, "Oh, don't be so contradictory, go and see, what if it's okay? You refused to tell me what you like all these years, even the woman who bent you I haven't even seen it! You can see her for the sake of my hard work."

Xi Wang was speechless.

But a voice floated in my heart: You have seen it.

There was no reason for this sound, it was inexplicable.

Xi Wang couldn't help but frowned.

"Hey!"

Wang Manyan was startled again. She pointed to the woman in the photo and said her surprise discovery, "Look at her eyes. Does it sound like a little deer? I said that when I saw her, I was very surprised I have eyes!"

Xi Wang fell silent when he heard the name "Lu Ming".

But Wang Manyan didn't notice the change in Xi Wang, and continued to speak: "This little Luming doesn't know what he's been busy with for the past four years, and he hasn't come back once."

Xi Wang's already gloomy mood was even worse now.

Lu Ming only paid the tuition fee for the first year with family money, and never used it afterwards.She went to school and lived there on a work-study basis, and she didn't have any extra money to come back.

Or, she doesn't want to come back anymore.

Thinking of this, Xi Wang frowned.

"By the way, it's almost graduation season. My son said he will return to China next month. Where is your little deer?" Wang Manyan asked again.

"I don't know." Xi Wang replied.

"Didn't she call you?" Wang Manyan was very puzzled by this.

"Not yet." Xi Wang said, feeling a little tight in the chest for some reason.

In fact, in the beginning, Lu Ming would still call home often to tell Xi Wang what happened recently, but Xi Wang is not a person who can chat, and they get embarrassed when they can't talk for a few words, and the two of them had to hang up the phone.After living awkwardly for a long time, the frequency of Lu Ming's calling here is also low. Until this year, she and Lu Ming didn't even talk on the phone.

She looked as if she was busier than herself.

Wang Manyan looked at Xi Wang's question, and felt that she seemed to be in a bad mood, so he took her arm carelessly and said, "Let's go, you're done, let's go to the bar to relax."

Xi Wang refused as always, "I won't go."

Wang Manyan was dissatisfied, "Don't push yourself like this. Isn't it okay to take a rest after a business trip? Try something new, or you won't be able to keep up with their youth, old aunt."

I don't know which words pierced Xi Wang's heart, she looked straight at Wang Manyan, hesitated, and let go: "Let's go."

Wang Manyan's pupils shrank immediately. She never thought that one day she would be able to persuade Xi Wang to go to the bar successfully. For a person like her who is like a banished fairy, it seems that she is incompatible with crowded bars. Wang Manyan can't even imagine that Xi Wang will go to the bar To the appearance of the bar.

Under the timid peeping of everyone in the company, Wang Manyan, General Manager Wang happily called the driver to drive her and Xi Wang to the bar.

Before it was night, the music was booming in the bar, and the drowsy environment seemed to be still at night.

It was the first time for Xi Wang to come to this kind of environment, the first time to try this kind of novelty that was incompatible with her, but her mind was full of the words "old aunt" that Wang Manyan said.

For some reason, she, who has always been indifferent to age, suddenly minded this title.

Especially with "they young".

It's like that day at the airport, the little girl carrying her luggage walked farther and farther in her line of sight, but she was always standing there, never catching up.

Xi Wang felt that he had become extremely strange today, and his three sentences would always be directed at that little girl.

But obviously many things have nothing to do with her, and she is always thinking wildly.

Wang Manyan, who didn't know what Xi Wang was thinking, looked at Xi Wang lying on the small round table, drinking cup after cup of spirits that she wouldn't easily try in normal times.

She was still wearing her work clothes, and her slender and straight legs were wrapped in a slightly slit hip-wrapping skirt. Her cold white skin was blown by the cool air-conditioning wind from hundreds of miles away, and blushed under the catalysis of alcohol. A decadent flower.

She, a straight girl, couldn't help but roll her throat.

Wang Manyan: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xi Wang shook his head and denied, "No."

As he spoke, he had to reach for the wine.

She was already drunk, and if she drank any more, something might happen to her.

Wang Manyan didn't dare to let Xi Wang drink any more, and grabbed the glass from her hand with one hand, "There's no such thing."

"It's just not!" Xi Wang denied, his voice was a bit loud, and he carried these rare coquettishness.

He wanted to reach out and take back his wine glass in Wang Manyan's hand, but his legs gave way and he fell on Wang Manyan, looking unable to stand.

Wang Manyan sighed, obviously he wasn't a drunkard, but he was completely drunk when he came here!

She finally knew why Xi Wang hadn't followed her to the bar all these years.

"Okay, let's go home." As Wang Manyan said, he helped Xi Wang go out, but Xi Wang, who was drunk, especially rejected the matter of "going home", and waved his hands repeatedly to break free from Wang Manyan, "I don't want to go home……"

"If you don't want to go home, where are you going?" Wang Manyan coaxed Xi Wang away from the bar.

"I want to go..." Xi Wang whispered, and in the end she could only see her lips bumping up and down, but there was no sound.

She had a pattern when she was drunk, she would play drunk first, and then quickly fall into a deep sleep.

Wang Manyan let out a long sigh of relief. As Xi Wang's friend, she naturally knew that she had reached the second stage, so she helped Xi Wang to the door with difficulty.

Just when Wang Manyan was trying to open the door with difficulty, the door was pushed open from the outside.

A familiar voice rang in her ear.

"Aunt Wang?"
