protect my love

The meal lasted until the lights in the overhead aisle were turned on, which was a pity that it was more decorative than practical, except that it was still pitch black except directly below the light source.A waiter came and lit the candle in the middle of the table.But it was still very dark, the person's face was completely out of the darkness, and only a pair of hands holding a knife and fork could be seen clearly.

But Zi Mingjun and Bai Lianxi are not shy kids who don't want to look directly at each other on their first blind date.

After a while, the sun went down completely, and staring at the other person's face really meant staring into the abyss.

Actually, Bai Lianxi was not in a hurry, he concentrated on cutting the vegetables and looking at Zi Mingjun's hands.He was very regretful in his heart, if he had ordered the ring earlier, he might be able to wear it today.

Zi Mingjun was not willing to sit here anymore, he said: "I'm afraid this place won't be able to pay the electricity bill, I can't even see you clearly."

"It's called atmosphere."

"What kind of atmosphere?" Zi Mingjun found it inconceivable, "You are sitting across from me, but I can't see your face clearly."

"Whatever, mysterious, beautiful, romantic."

Obviously, Mingjun is not so optimistic.

"What to do at night?" So I started trying to plan the next step.

"It's all right." Bai Lianxi replied.

"Will you work tomorrow?"

"No."

"Accompany me all day?"

"Ah."

"so good?"

"Aren't you also with me all day?"

"That's comparable to Manager Bai's precious time."

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't think I can rent you for an hour at the market price."

The two finished the last dessert and put the knife and fork aside.

At this time, I looked out of the window again, and I saw neither birds nor the beautiful water waves.

If Zi Mingjun hadn't squeezed out this day and a half to come to Bai Lianxi, the living conditions of the two would not be any different.But just because he made sacrifices, Bai Lianxi also made sacrifices, the time the two of them spend together is particularly worth remembering.

"Have you finished eating?" Zi Mingjun took a last sip of water.

"All right."

The two took a longer route this time, passed Pigeon Square, walked across the long street in front of Buckingham Palace, and took a group photo in front of the steps of St. James's Park.

By the time I got back to Bai Lianxi's apartment, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Zi Mingjun was catching a plane and going out for dinner today. He had just come out of the stressful period and felt very tired all of a sudden.He casually put his coat on the hanger, and sank directly into the sofa in the living room.

"Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Take me where you want to go."

Bai Lianxi tried to recall the fun places in London.

"There are too many people in those places, it's not safe."

"Where?"

"In many places, there are many people playing in one area, and there are fewer people playing in other places, and there are also many people."

"Then look, as long as there is your place."

Bai Lianxi was about to blush when she heard this. If the two of them were usually talking to each other consciously, then the sentence just now was more like a casually blurted heart.

Zi Mingjun couldn't see this from his angle, he was still lying on the sofa, and he pulled the paper bag from Bai Lianxi's boss.

"can I open this?"

"open it."

The bow tied on the bag was undone, and there were many things inside.

There was indeed chocolate, in a tin.

But why are the rest fluffy?

"Your boss..." Ming Jun casually found out that it was a genuine plush rabbit that was sold very expensively.

"Huh?" Bai Lianxi was pouring water in the kitchen.

"You..." Mingjun felt the same word again, this time it was a very soft blanket, the color of light pink and light blue was very gentle and lovely.

"What?" Bai Lianxi thought she didn't hear clearly.

"Huh...?" The last thing is even more amazing, the characters are clear in English, but the printing on this small box is obviously not in English.

"What did you just say?" Bai Lianxi came over with two glasses of water.

Pictures are a very intuitive way of conveying information.

Zi Mingjun held the paper box with one hand, and pulled out a post-it note from the back with the other hand.

"Charlie, enjoy your family time, and give my regards to Mrs. Bai, Dr. Tuson?"

Bai Lianxi's back felt cold.

"Ah, it's not over yet. Here is a line of fine print. It was recommended by my wife. I hope it can help you."

Zi Mingjun went to see Bai Lianxi.

"My boss must have misunderstood something."

"If I understand correctly, this is postpartum milk stickers, right?" Zi Ming pointed to the picture on the small box.

It was a woman smiling brightly, with her blouse half-hidden and a white thing covering her vital parts, her husband was standing beside her with a baby in his arms.

"..."

"You asked for leave because your wife gave birth to a child?" Zi Mingjun didn't think that Bai Lianxi would do this, but this seemed to be the only way to connect the cause and effect.

"How is it possible?" Bai Lianxi felt embarrassed standing, put the water on the table, and sat down next to Zi Mingjun.

"Hahaha, why is that, explain it to me?"

"I don't know either. I'll just say that I'm not in the office today and tomorrow."

"Okay, I believe you."

What if you don't believe me?

Zi Mingjun took a second look at the box, laughed at Bai Lianxi again with his eyes and expression, and took the chocolate instead.

"Let's have an English breakfast tomorrow morning."

"You actually like English breakfast?"

"No, I haven't had an English breakfast in England."

Bai Lianxi didn't believe it, he clearly remembered that Zi Mingjun had been to England many times.

"I was too rushed before, so I really didn't eat the breakfast here, unless eating muffins counts."

"can."

"Where is it delicious? Do I need to book a seat in advance?" Zi Mingjun took out his phone.

"To be honest, I wouldn't go out of my way to have an English breakfast. I've only had a limited amount of it."

"It's okay, as long as you can eat."

"I think the best one is my alma mater, and the other is my unit."

"Then take me to your alma mater?"

"Impossible. I can't even get in by swiping the card, let alone two people." Bai Lianxi refused, and the rest of the answer was obvious.

"Then just find a restaurant outside, anyway, I haven't eaten there, so I can't tell if the food is good or bad." Zi Ming didn't care, and automatically filtered another place.

This attitude was very suspicious, Bai Lianxi became serious and asked, "Why don't you go to my unit?"

"How?" Zi Mingjun seemed to have thought about it briefly, "Hahaha Mr. Bai and his wife? They recovered so quickly after giving birth?"

"..." Never expected that Zi Mingjun was not so magnanimous.

"Yes, but you have already asked for leave, wouldn't it be strange to go to Cengfan again?"

"It's okay, just say that you are my big client, and I volunteer to sacrifice my vacation to discuss business."

Seeing Bai Lianxi's serious look, Zi Mingjun raised his eyebrows and agreed.

"Then I'll ask them to reserve a place."

"You are so proficient." Zi Mingjun likes to joke when he is free.

"Didn't you say that?" Bai Lianxi paused, "Manager Bai, are you abusing your power?"

Of course, Zi Mingjun remembered that his anger and joy reached the upper limit that day, and a few words broke their minds.

"That's right, that's it, but it's not necessarily a good thing if an employee doesn't abuse his power at all, right?"

Zi Ming followed suit and nodded.

"What about you?" Bai Lianxi asked.

"Me?" Zi Mingjun didn't really want to answer this suddenly brought up topic.

Bai Lianxi's way of asking questions is very interesting, not necessarily about Zi Mingjun's work details.But with the example of Bai Lianxi, has Zi Mingjun brought anything to their relationship from his professional perspective?

some.

Now that I think about it, every detail is just right.Every choice every second has countless abandoned branches.

Zi Mingjun didn't know that Bai Lianxi secretly downloaded social media to watch his updates.He wants to save up and share it with him when the time is right.

"No." After Zi Mingjun finished speaking, he still felt guilty. "But it's not true. The biggest feature of my job is that the time is not fixed. Otherwise, if I were an office worker, I would have the opportunity to meet you so many times."

For Bai Lianxi, he and Zi Mingjun first met that night.

But Zi Mingjun's impression is basically when the agreement is signed.

"Hey, what did we sign?" Zi Mingjun asked.

He didn't think much about the contract, so he didn't care much about this matter except for this person in front of him.

Bai Lianxi was silent.Because he didn't read the contract carefully.

"Brother, you can't do this, what should you do if you were cheated?" Zi Ming understood the general meaning of the silence.

"I......"

"You don't love me at first sight, do you?"

Since I had that kind of thinking from the beginning, I naturally didn't care too much about the episode.

This angle makes sense.

"...No, I thought that if you did something wrong, I would report you."

"..." Zi Mingjun pretended to stretch his legs to attack him to vent his anger.

"Am I better than the people who chased you before?" There was silence for a while, the headlights were not turned on, Bai Lianxi almost thought that Zi Mingjun had fallen asleep.

I remember Bai Lianxi mentioned that someone chased him, but he didn't agree once.

"Yes, but this has nothing to do with whether you are good or not." Not the strongest brain, what Bai Lianxi liked was that feeling, and his heart led him all the way to Zi Mingjun.

"Great." Zi Ming didn't think so, and there was capital with such confidence.

Rightfully so.

"I'm so sleepy." Zi Mingjun changed his position on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"go to sleep."

"Let's go." Zi Mingjun stood up from the sofa with great determination, and tugged at Bai Lianxi's sleeve.

"The sheets and quilts are all newly changed, you go to bed first."

Bai Lianxi's expression was concise and to the point, no matter how wide the single bed was, it was still too narrow.

Zi Mingjun reacted for a second, realizing that Bai Lianxi did not intend to sleep in the same bed with him.

He doesn't blame him, it will take time for anyone to try such a life for the first time.

In the end, Zi Mingjun chose the latter between chatting about this issue and listening to Bai Lianxi and going to sleep in his private room directly.He is really tired.

"Good night." Bai Lianxi said before Zi Mingjun closed the door.

"Good night, don't be too late when you are busy with business." This was the last step that Zi Mingjun gave him.

Originally, Bai Lianxi was going to touch the light switch, but when he heard this, he froze immediately, and with his half-stretched body, he took the computer from the table.

Zi Mingjun closed the door, looking at the tidy bed.

Indeed, two men could barely move without sticking together.And a person can stretch his limbs slightly and lie on his back in a large font.

But tonight was the only night that Zi Mingjun was on this trip, so they lost eight hours of being together.
