she's not at ease

The trip to Sichuan has come to a perfect end.

When returning home, Lu Yi specially bought some local specialties and mailed them directly to her home. She thought that her gluttonous mother would like these things, and she might even give them big and small bags to the sisters who usually dance square dances together. they.

The plane passed through the thick clouds and reached a high altitude and gradually stabilized. The glare of the sun shone through the window glass. Lu Yi felt that it was dazzling, so she reached out and pulled down the visor.

When she turned her face to look at Luo Yao again, she realized that he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I think it was too late last night for the heart-to-heart talk, and I was so tired.

The thin-dense long eyelashes quietly covered, Lu Yi felt itchy in her heart, and couldn't help but stretched out her fingertips to touch it lightly.

Like the leaves of a mimosa, it trembled slightly.

Lu Yi found it very strange.

It's so cute.

It seems that once some people's identities start to change, every detail of their body will become very cute.

Now, it's just the beginning.

The landing of the plane means that the chapter at the end of the year has officially kicked off.

Huayang Group also ushered in a major internal adjustment at this time. Luo Ruishan, as the chairman of the board, began to clean up the group's internal affairs drastically. The rumors spread to the various subsidiaries below.

Lu Yi knew a little about the inside story because of her relationship with Luo Yao, but she just pretended not to know anything and did her part well.

The Christmas that young people look forward to is approaching day by day.

Many shopping malls have been warming up their Christmas activities since the beginning of the month, and they have almost made a lot of money by the end of the month.

Lu Yi hasn't had such a festival for many years.

However, this year is particularly looking forward to.

This was her first holiday with Luo Yao.

No matter which aspect you look at, it is necessary to prepare well.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but just in time for the week before Christmas, Ms. Lu Xuemei and her daughter proposed the idea of ​​organizing a group with a few neighbors to go to Hainan to avoid the cold. How can Lu Yi, a daughter, not agree?

She happily sent her mother to the airport, thinking that it wouldn't matter if she didn't come home at night on the 24th and 25th.

But it always backfires.

The 24th is Wednesday, and it is no different from any previous working day, except that the three words Christmas Eve are specially marked on the calendar.

When Lu Yi came over in the morning, she saw a colleague in the office area pasting a small Christmas decoration on her workstation. The combination of red and green colors had a special flavor at this time. She just pretended not to notice it. After a brief greeting with everyone, he got into his office.

At noon, when the people in the office area were almost gone, Lu Yi took the elevator directly to the 24th floor, just in time to bump into the secretary who came out and was about to have lunch.

"Director Lu?" Secretary Liu was very surprised when she saw Lu Yi. She turned her head and glanced at the locked office door, "Did you come to Mr. Luo at this point, but..."

"I asked Boss Luo to have lunch together, Boss Luo...is she off work yet?" Before the secretary finished speaking, Lu Yi first opened her mouth to explain for herself.

The rumors about the two of them in the company disappeared completely after going through the previous riot.

It's no secret that President Luo has a good relationship with Director Lu of the sales department, so Lu Yi doesn't shy away from looking for someone.

The so-called dark method under the lights is played very well.

only……

"Boss Luo left for the airport at eleven o'clock, don't you know?"

Hearing the word "appointment", the secretary was quite surprised.

"Airport?" There was obvious doubt in Lu Yi's eyes.

"This morning, the group headquarters called and asked Mr. Luo to rush to the coastal branch for a meeting. It seems that there is a new appointment."

She is not very clear about the specifics, she is just a secretary: "If there is nothing else, Director Lu, I will leave first, you can call President Luo to check, she should not have boarded the plane yet according to the time. "

After speaking, the secretary bypassed Lu Yi and walked into the elevator.

Almost at the same time, Lu Yi felt the phone vibrate in his pocket.

She took it out and saw that it was indeed a voice message from Luo Yao.

I don't know if it's because I'm in a hurry, and the several messages are all long voices.

"I can't have dinner with you at noon today, but the restaurant has been booked. If you don't mind, you can go by yourself."

"A temporary appointment from the headquarters."

"It probably has something to do with my dad. Luo Kunpeng was originally in charge of the coastal area."

"Probably won't be back until the weekend."

The background sound in the voice and the announcement from the airport made it a bit noisy.

Every piece of content was related to work, and it was completely businesslike, which made Lu Yi frown.

[Is this how you and your girlfriend explained the itinerary? 】

She lowered her eyes, typed a line on the screen and sent it.

These lines were enough to express her dissatisfaction.

A tough attitude is no different than when dealing with other people in the company.

Lu Yi didn't like it, she didn't feel that she was special to Luo Yao from such a conversation.

She hasn't been in love for several years, but that doesn't mean she's forgotten what it's like to be in love.

Not long after Lu Yi sent this line, she didn't get a reply immediately, and she didn't know if Luo Yao was busy or doing something.

It wasn't until she walked into the elevator and went down to the first floor that the phone rang again.

Still a voice message.However, there are a lot of people in the lobby on the first floor. After looking around, Lu Yi cautiously took out the earphones from her coat pocket and stuffed them into her ears.

The moment the bluetooth headset was connected to the phone, her fingers clicked on Luo Yao's voice message almost simultaneously.

"How come—" In the earphones, Luo Yao raised the tone of his voice a little.

Because of the earphones, it became very clear, as if the person speaking was right next to him: "I just went through the security check just now, and I didn't react for a while."

"Can I send you the address of the reserved restaurant? Just go to the front desk and report my mobile phone number later."

"Boss Luo", who usually talks about everything in the company, sometimes has to soften his tone and coax people softly.

"This restaurant is very difficult to decide. It would be a waste if you don't go."

"I also prepared a surprise."

"Oh, why don't you help me take a look..."

Lu Yi listened as she walked. At this time, she had already left the company building and walked towards the parking lot above ground.

The gray sky outside gave people an extremely depressing feeling, as if the sky was about to collapse a hole at any time.

The weather forecast said that it would snow today. People in the entire capital had been looking forward to the snow to welcome Christmas since midnight last night, but it was already noon now, and they didn't see any snowflakes.

Lu Yi felt that it was probably not going to happen.

There are unpredictable things in the sky, and the weather forecast is not necessarily accurate.

The corners of her lips have been slightly raised since the moment Luo Yao's voice message was played, and it can be seen that she has benefited from Luo Yao's "interesting" attitude change.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to fall in love.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to fall in love with girls.

The most important thing is to be willing to change and learn.

She opened the car door and returned to the car, and began to give a reply: [Okay, then in order not to waste your thoughts, I will go and eat and watch. 】

[Send me the address. 】

A look of reluctance.

Luo Yao on the other end of the phone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this line.

She lowered her eyes and flipped through the chat records of the two of them back and forth several times, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

This feeling of being easily mobilized by other people's words... Really, it's not bad.

It's just that Lu Yi didn't say that she also prepared a surprise for Luo Yao.

But now it seems that the first "holiday" of the two cannot be spent together.

In the evening, Lu Yi slowly left the office area after everyone clocked out of get off work.

When night falls, the whole city is ushered in a carnival.

Yang Mu sent another hot pot invitation to Lu Yi with her boyfriend, but she didn't want to be ruthlessly rejected by Lu Yi.

"I don't want to be a light bulb to watch you show your affection this year anymore. Live it on your own."

she said so.

Not long after rejecting Yang Mu, Lu Yi received another video call from her mother.

The weather in Sanya is very good. Even through the lens of the mobile phone, you can see the blue sky and the cloudless sky. In the video, the mother is lying on the recliner, wearing sunglasses, and asks Lu Yi if she is so arrogant.

Lu Yi smiled and said foreign style.

Looking at her mother's happy smiling face in the video, she felt that her efforts to make money for so many years were very meaningful.

Lu Yi finally chose to drive home.

Celebrating alone is even more meaningless. There are many people and you have to queue up for dinner tonight. She simply bought some ingredients from the supermarket and went home to prepare for herself.

Lu Yi did not return the flowers that she had ordered with the florist. She asked the courier to deliver them directly to her home, and placed them on the empty cabinet at the entrance, admiring herself.

White roses, beautiful and holy, so beautiful.

There is no chance to send this bunch out, but there will be more in the future.

She comforted herself, and the time was wasted little by little.

After eating, the empty bowls were left on the dining table and were not cleaned up.

After dinner, Lu Yi kept wandering back and forth between the bedroom and the living room to pass the time, until 11:30 in the evening, she received a call from Luo Yao.

Two hours ago, she cut off contact with the other party.

The other party said that there was an impromptu video conference to be held.

just now……

"The meeting just ended, so I don't have time to go out for a good meal today... What about you, did you go out to celebrate with your friends on Christmas Eve?" Luo Yao's voice on the other end of the phone was not obviously tired, and Lu Yi could still hear it .

As for work, they are all adults, and she also knows that she shouldn't get emotional about this kind of thing.

But her mood is very low, uncontrollable.

"Of course there is." On the sofa, Lu Yi turned her body to another side, so that the phone could be placed on her ear naturally.

She lied unnaturally, with a non-existent smile in her voice: "I had hot pot with Mu Mu tonight, and their store has launched a new kind of fat sausage pot, which is quite delicious."

"is it?"

"I really want to eat hot pot with you too..."

"I heard it's snowing in the capital."

There was helplessness and a little bit of loss hidden in Luo Yao's voice.

It was precisely because of the other party's words that Lu Yi stood up from the sofa and walked towards the window.

——The little snow that was still as big as sesame seeds in the evening has now fallen heavily, and the treetops at the bottom of the building have been covered with a light layer of white snow.

This is the first snow in Beijing.

It's a pity that Luo Yao is not here.

"It's okay, I'll take you to eat when you come back for the weekend." She smiled silently, hiding her disappointment.

"But tomorrow is Christmas." Luo Yao's voice came softly again, and the background sound on the other side of the phone suddenly became a little ethereal, mixed with a little wind, "Lu Yi, you know that I have been abroad all these years Life, Christmas is a very important holiday abroad."

In the country where Luo Yao studied abroad, Christmas is almost equal to the Spring Festival in China.

So she is also very concerned about such a festival, which is different from the trend of young people in China.

"I know."

"But it can't be helped, it's work."

Lu Yi comforted her.

According to Luo Yao's work progress, he will definitely not be able to come back tomorrow. There are too many handovers.

She left the window and returned to the sofa, the coffee table was full of unstarted snacks.

"Then do you know that in western legends, Santa Claus will secretly deliver gifts to everyone on the day of Christmas?"

Luo Yao's voice came again.

This time, Lu Yi couldn't hear clearly.

She felt that the other party's signal was not very good.

"I know." After she finished speaking, she removed the phone from her ear and glanced at the time, "It's almost twelve o'clock."

"Yes, there are still 2 minutes."

"Santa Claus is coming soon, have you made a wish?"

Luo Yao, a character in western legends, spoke so seriously, Lu Yi couldn't understand.

Maybe she's not childlike.

But she still cooperated patiently: "No."

It is now 23:59.

Luo Yao continued: "If you don't make a wish, Santa Claus may give you random gifts."

"What could that be?" Lu Yi got up and was about to turn off the lights and go back to the bedroom.

At this time, there was suddenly no sound on the phone.

The conversation stopped without any warning, the only thing Lu Yi could be sure of was that the call was not hung up.

She stood where she was and said "Hello" to the phone several times.

59 minutes jumped to twelve o'clock in an instant.

"It's me." Luo Yao's voice suddenly appeared like fireworks blooming in the sky.

In this silent night, Luo Yao was standing quietly at the door holding his mobile phone in the corridor separated from the entrance.

Santa Claus is here to deliver gifts.

He brought your girlfriend.
