Creation’s Grace

On the day Ran Jin came back, Chi Yu was listening to Manager Xu hold a meeting with the planning department, and volunteered to take the minutes of the meeting.

Across the glass door of the conference room, Ran Jin sees Chi Yu with her long hair tucked behind her head, her makeup as impeccable as ever, Rin is lively, shrewd and capable.

Ran Jin stared at Chi Yu silently, while Chi Yu was staring at the computer intently.

She typed at a fast speed, and she had a recording device at hand to record the speeches of the entire meeting record. When she came back, she could proofread the record against the recording.

Ran Jin went back to the office after watching Chi Yu for a while and poured himself a cup of coffee.

After drinking coffee, the head started to hurt again, and the feeling of heart palpitations came back and forth.

Ever since she returned from diving into the 400-meter seabed for the first time on this business trip, her condition has not been very good.

The original one-week business trip was shortened to three days.

After coming back, Ran Jin rested in the apartment for a long time, almost fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I felt better.

[You'd better really not worry about the company, you obviously do not worry about the little bastard, right? 】

Ran Jin sat in the office and received a WeChat message from Lu Sima who came back half an hour later.

Lu Sima's voice was released to the public, Ran Jin glanced at the door where he was co-authored, made sure Chi Yu didn't come in at this time, turned on the computer and logged in to his mailbox, and said to Lu Sima while checking the email:

"I left so suddenly and lost a lot of work to her. She must have been very busy these days."

After the WeChat message was sent out, Ran Jin thought of the urge to leave that day, and the worry of tossing and turning after leaving, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, and he didn't have the decisiveness he imagined.

Others can't afford it but she can't let it go.

There was a burst of hurried footsteps in the corridor, Ran Jin knew that it was a late encounter, and suddenly became nervous, and the corners of his mouth tensed.

"You're back?"

When Chi Yu held the computer in his hand and pushed open the office door, he swept away the coldness in the conference room just now. His beautiful eyes were originally bright and affectionate, but now there was another layer of undisguised surprise.

When she glanced at her, Ran Ban could only feel that her cheeks couldn't help but get hot.

"Well, I'm back." Ran Jin responded with a light smile, turning his eyes away quickly habitually.

Chi Yu put down the computer, didn't sit back in his chair, walked over to Ran Jin and asked her, "Where have you been on a business trip? There is no news at all. As your assistant, I don't know at all."

Ran Jin smelled the perfume on her body, neither jumping nor tired, could not help but secretly increased the frequency of breathing.

"A project suddenly went wrong and I didn't have time to tell you."

"Oh? What project requires you to go out in person, and you are in such a hurry."

Chi Yu didn't want her to answer. She knew what Ran Jin was going to say, and she would say it directly when she answered just now, only vaguely summarizing it with "one item", indicating that she did not want to make it clear.

So Chi Yu took the second half of the sentence: "I thought you were mad at me."

"Um?"

Ran Jin turned back and saw Chi Yu crossed her arms in front of her chest, her waist was against the edge of the back of the chair, very close to her shoulders.

The corners of the shirt were tucked into the pants, and a thin white shirt was separated, and the slender waist that was gripped by Ying Ying was fully visible.

Ran Jin just glanced at it, then turned his head back unnaturally, pretending to be busy and casual.

"How could I be mad at you." Ran Jin stared at the computer screen, but not a word could enter her mind, "It's true that something happened suddenly, I decided to leave in the middle of the night, and I didn't want to disturb you, So I didn't tell you. The mobile phone signal in that place is not very good, and it is not convenient to contact, so..."

Chi Yu interrupted her explanation: "Just don't get mad at me. You hide everything in your heart, so that I don't know what to say that will step on your minefield. If I say something wrong in the future, you can tell me directly. I'm ready."

Ran Ban thought that she had left quietly for so many days, and when she came back late, she would be forced to ask her where she had been secretly.

In the end, Chi Yu didn't do this, and there was a tendency to ease the relationship in his words.

Ran Jin knew that it was because she brought Chi Yu into the Chi Group and taught her unreservedly, so she took the initiative to ease the tension.

In the final analysis, the most important contradiction between them has not been completely eliminated.

Even if the current relationship is much better than before, it does not mean that there will be no more variables in the future.

Ran Jin's thoughts drifted a bit. When Chi Yu left, he patted her on the shoulder and reminded her, "This email you read for five minutes is a reply email."

Ran Jin's eyes were round, and he felt embarrassed for a while.

Chi Yu sat in his chair and saw that Ran Ban calmly exited the email page and re-opened an unread one.

Chi Yu, who saw everything in his eyes, couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After a whole day's work, Ran Jin found that he left suddenly, and Chi Yu was not in a hurry.

Chi Yu not only completed all the assistant's work, but also helped her sort out her priorities, so that she could quickly deal with the most important things as soon as she returned to the company.

Thanks to the belated encounter, today is fairly easy.

It was already dark outside the window, and the dense rain had drenched the entire city.

Because the sound insulation of the windows is so good, Chi Yu, who was working hard, didn't notice when it was raining so much outside.

Today, she was too tired to drive, so she came by taxi.

It's raining heavily at the moment and the evening rush hour, so there's no way to call a car.

When Chi Yu was about to call Butler Chen to pick him up, Ran Jin said, "I'll take you back."

"OK!"

Sitting in the co-pilot of Ran Jin's car, Chi Yu had a familiar sense of steadfastness.

When Ran Ban drove steadily into the traffic in the rainy night, Chi Yu realized that it was not only the position that Ran Ban had been sitting in countless times that made her comfortable, but also because the whole car was full of familiar smells.

"Eat chocolate? Pad your belly."

While waiting at the red light, Ran Jin took out a box of unopened chocolates from the car and handed it to Chi Yu.

Ran Jin said: "Looking at the current road conditions, it may take more than an hour to arrive at Chi's house. I was too careless. I should have prepared dinner for you when I got in the car."

"Don't bother, I like this brand of chocolate."

The familiar petting made Chi Yu's whole body relaxed. Hearing Chi Yu's rising tone and the phrase "I like to eat", Ran Jin's mouth couldn't help overflowing with a shallow smile.

Chi Yu brought the chocolate over, opened the package, and ate one. His eyes were locked on the right side of the center console, where a small car fragrance was placed.

The shape of this fragrance is a small peach, with a reddish white inside, and the pink on the tip of the peach is very real and cute.

The peach flavor is soft and sweet, so I especially liked it when I met late, but unfortunately, I bought a bunch of them before I got to the age to get a driver's license, and I had to put them in the car of my sister and Ran Jin.

Whether it's chocolate or car aromatherapy, all are the favorites of late encounters.

This inevitably reminded her that the dishes that Ran Jin likes to eat are almost in line with her taste.

"Sister Ran." Chi Yu said while eating chocolate, "This fragrance was discontinued two years ago, and I couldn't find it in many places. I didn't expect you to still use it."

When the light was green, Ran Jin slowly stepped on the accelerator, glanced at Xiao Taozi, and said, "I still have it, I'll get it for you later."

Chi Yu ate the second chocolate, and thoughtfully probed, "You bought a lot?"

"Well..." Ran Jin watched the wipers tirelessly scrape the gurgling rainwater off the windshield, and told the truth, "I'm used to it and I don't want to change it. I heard that it was going to be discontinued before, so I bought more."

"It's rare."

"Um?"

"You'll have something you like too."

Ran Jin's expression was unnatural for a moment, which was vaguely captured by Chi Yu in the dim car.

There are too many cars to run at all.

Neither of the two in the car was in a hurry.

It's just that it was past the hour of dinner, and Chi Yu remembered that at noon she bought a piece of Kung Pao Chicken for Ran Jin. After a few bites, Ran Jin seemed to have a bad appetite and couldn't eat any more. It's not lost, I want to put it in the refrigerator and eat it tomorrow.

The leftovers were stuffed directly into the trash can by Chi Yu.

I didn't eat anything at noon, and it lasted until this o'clock, only thinking about others.

"Are you hungry too? Eat some chocolate too?" Chi Yu asked Ran Ban.

"Okay, wait for the next red light..."

Before Ran Jin could finish speaking, Chi Yu handed a peeled chocolate to her lips: "Open your mouth."

In the past, when she was sitting in Ran Jin's co-pilot, she often fed Ran Jin all kinds of things, from snacks to fruits, as long as she was eating, she would not lose Ran Jin's share.

It was probably because of the late encounter in the past few days that she wanted to understand something, and because of Ran Jin's sudden departure, her unspoken emotions had been brewing in her heart for several days.

Today Ran Jin finally came back, Chi Yu had to admit that because of seeing Ran Jin, the boring and dull mood quickly changed for the better.

At this moment, Ran Jin's act of eating chocolate, even though she knew something was wrong, she was tempted to do it by the sense of transgression.

Ran Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly pressed the horn, and with a thud, Chi Yu was almost scared off by the chocolate in his hand.

"Thank you..." Ran Jin quickly put the chocolate in his mouth and thanked vaguely.

Because she was driving, she didn't have enough strength to eat chocolate. While eating chocolate, her hot and soft lips rubbed against Chi Yu's fingertips.

"..." Ran Jin could only pretend that nothing happened.

The fudge-like touch quickly spread to Chi Yu's heart.

With a little bit of Ran Jin's lipstick on her fingertips, she realized that Ran Jin had actually put on cherry pink lipstick, which was transparent and natural, reducing her age by several years.

"Is it delicious?" Chi Yu wanted to ask her a few more questions.

"It's delicious!" The chocolate ball propped up Ran Jin's face in a small semi-circular ups and downs, and the true feelings intensified his tone, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it later.

I thought that this winter rain would last all night, and the overhead rain began to decrease. When the wind and rain stopped when I got home, it was still freezing.

"Thank you Sister Ran for sending me, see you tomorrow."

Chi Yu opened the door and got out of the car, and a gust of cold air came in from the outside, making Ran Ban, who had ignored the discomfort the whole time, shivered with goosebumps.

"Xiao Yu." Ran Jin stopped her, Chi Yu turned around, a few strands of her hair were rolled up by the wind, and even her windbreaker opened in the direction of Ran Jin, as if to surround her .

"Bring the chocolate if you like it, there shouldn't be any at home." Ran Jin handed the chocolate to Chi Yu.

"I really don't have it, then I'll take it." Chi Yu took the chocolate and entered the yard. Ran Jin's car was still parked at the door, so he didn't leave immediately.

She wanted to watch Chi Yu enter the house safely.

Chi Yu's tall figure disappeared into the yard, and the orange light in the living room had a warm power that penetrated all the cold on a winter night.

It's nice to have Xiaoyu in this safe and warm place.

Ranjian pressed the back of his fingers against the painful eyelids, and seemed to have a fever, aversion to cold, and dizziness and nausea.

Maybe it was because I dived too frequently a few days ago, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

She grabbed two mints and threw them into her mouth, trying to refresh herself with the mints and head back to the apartment.

Just as she was about to drive, Chi Yu ran out of the house again, and Aunt Su followed behind her.

"What's wrong? Did you forget to bring something?" Ran Jin asked her when she saw her panic and opened the car window.

Chi Yu's face was full of anxiety: "Lulu is lost!"

Ran Jin: "Lulu lost? How could it be lost?"

No wonder Ran Ban felt strange, and Chi Yu couldn't understand.

Lulu is not too young, although it usually looks more lively than other old cats, and likes to jump up and down.

But after all, a cat is an animal with a strong sense of territory. Usually, it will not leave its familiar territory. If there is any disturbance outside, it will hide in horror and not come out for a long time.

Aunt Su clasped her hands together and pressed a mountain between her brows: "Isn't there something wrong with our fresh air system? I'll let the people from the property come over to take a look. Today, two people from the property came to carry the tools, knocking and beating, It is estimated that Lulu was startled by the movement. Usually, it hides when people come to the house, so I didn't remember to close the door, Lulu probably ran out at that time. "

There is also a spacious attic on the upper and lower three floors of Chi's Villa, with a large front and rear yard, with an area of ​​several hundred square meters. Usually, it is difficult for Aunt Su to find Lulu, not to mention that Lulu, a claustrophobic space lover, ran out without paying attention. .

Chi Yu asked her, "What time is it?"

Aunt Su said: "The property came at two or three o'clock in the afternoon."

With this calculation, Lu Lu has been lost for several hours.

Chi Yu's face was gloomy, and anxious emotions were all spread on his face.

Both Ran Jin and Aunt Su know how precious Lulu is in Chi Yu.

During the period from elementary school to junior high school, Ran Ban had not yet arrived at Chi's house, Chi Li was so busy that he could hardly see anyone, and Lu Lu accompanied Chi Yu to get through it.

Its empathy and obedience resolved the loneliness of being late when he was young.

For Chi Yu, Lulu is not only a cat, but also an extremely important family member, Chi Yu has always regarded it as her sister.

Not long after her sister passed away, Lulu disappeared again. Given her age and the length of time she has lived in a human family, she may have lost the ability to survive in the wild.

Once missing, it is very likely that they will not survive.

It is self-evident that this is a big blow to the late encounter.

"Don't worry." Ran Jin held Chi Yu's arm, "I will notify the property immediately and let the property look for it together. The outer walls of the community are very high, and Lulu may not be able to jump out. If you go out through the gate, the property's People might see it. Aunt Su, ask your family to go out and look for it together, and ask the property side to keep an eye on the surveillance to see if Lulu can be photographed."

Aunt Su said, "Okay! I'll go right now!"

Ran Jin and Chi Yu analyzed: "Lulu wandered outside for a long time ago, even if she stayed at home for more than ten years, the most basic ability to hide her whereabouts should still be there. It is possible that you will find a safe and secret place to hide yourself. Let’s split up and take a look at the green belt. Lulu is likely to be there. Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to bring Lulu to you. back."

Chi Yu's originally chaotic and restless emotions were eased a little by Ran Jin's very logical arrangements.

She might not believe what others said, but Ran Jin said that if she could bring Lulu back, that's for sure.

"Okay, I'll go to the flowerbed in the west to find it first." Chi Yu said, "You can go to the artificial lake in the east and take a look. Take your mobile phone and let each other know if you find Lulu."

"Well, be careful, it just rained and the road was slippery." Ran Jin reminded.

"Okay." Chi Yu looked back under the dim night light and said to Ran Jin, "You too."
