Chapter 47

It was very quiet in the office. Fei Nanzhou was flipping through the information slowly and carefully, and looked a little serious when he was not talking.

It would be a lie to say that I was not nervous, not to mention the opportunity that day.

His sarcastic words that day reappeared in her mind, and Xu Zhi's heart fluttered, as if boiling in fire oil.

Fortunately, he didn't embarrass her. He read it quietly and only asked her a few more important questions before letting her go.

Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, he stopped her and said, "Wait a moment."

She stopped with her back numb, and hesitated for a while before turning back.

This sound seemed to be the beginning of something.

If it was Fei Nanzhou who was doing business just now, now it seems that it is time to talk about private matters.

Because he would say this when he had something extra to do. Being polite was the premise and was a way to pave the way for the next rude words.

Xu Zhi looked at him nervously and fearfully.

It seemed that her expression was really amusing. He smiled without any trace, tilted the screwed pen slightly, and pointed it in her direction.

Only then did Xu Zhi realize that this was the pen she had just dropped on his desk, and quickly took it.

However, when she held the end of the pen in her hand - it twitched but did not twitch.

His slender hands held the tip of his nose firmly, and his tired, cold eyes looked at her emotionlessly for the whole time.

Xu Zhi didn't understand at first, and then became a little uneasy.

"Leader..."

"What did you call me?"

Xu Zhi changed her words: "Mr. Fei..."

"Call me again."

When their eyes met, she was almost psychologically affected by his cold eyes, and hesitated: "... ...Brother..."

His voice softened, and it took on a natural softness.

Fei Nanzhou laughed angrily and let go.

As soon as the pen returned to her hand, Xu Zhi felt as if she had escaped from a prison.

No longer caring about the difficulty he had just faced, she quickly escaped from this suffocating place.

Back at the research institute, Xu Zhi drank several mouthfuls of water to calm down her shock. The thought of having to meet and report to him in the future made her feel sick.

Can't he just leave such a trivial matter to his subordinates?

Xu Zhi even suspected that he was deliberately tormenting her.

Fortunately, the next few days were calm, and soon it was time to go to the capital for investigation.

Zhang He made a total calculation and put both her and Liang Ye on the list.

On the day we left for Beijing, the weather was not very good and the sky was gray early in the morning. Xu Zhi and Liang Ye waited on the platform for a long time before the leaders from Zhongshenxin came over.

Xu Zhi lowered his head and greeted each one one by one.

She couldn't be careless about such a small matter. Fortunately, she had read the list early in the morning and addressed them one by one according to their titles. Those at the same level were addressed together, and she finally passed the test.

She and Liang Ye were assigned to the same carriage.

During lunch, the train conductor told them that the box lunch was finished, so the two had no choice but to nibble on a piece of bread.

It was already evening when the train arrived. Several people took the same business car to the guest house and stayed in Haidian.

It was just after four o'clock at this time, and it was a bit early to eat. It was not a big deal to wait, so someone suggested taking a stroll nearby.

The group happily agreed.

There are many people coming and going on the pedestrian street, including many students from nearby universities who come out to look for food after class. There are many barbecue stalls and fried skewers stalls on the roadside, which is smoky and full of life.

"Fei is always from Beijing?" Liang Ye asked with interest halfway through.

Only then did Xu Zhi realize that she had changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing the light blue suit she was wearing before going out. The upper body was a creamy white sleeveless half-turtleneck sweater, which highlighted her slender neck. The lower body was a hip-hugging skirt, which made her walk smooth. Twisted and full of charm.

Xu Zhi glanced at her twice, then looked away awkwardly.

In comparison, she was dressed very casually and didn't put on any makeup. She suddenly regretted it.

I don't know if he noticed something, but he looked sideways in this direction, and a smile appeared on his lips, as if he knew it tacitly.

Xu Zhi's heart rate suddenly accelerated extremely, and she looked away awkwardly. After a while, I felt that this was very disrespectful, so I turned back and glared at him: What are you looking at? !

But this time when he looked back, he had already withdrew his gaze and did not look at her again.

Fei Nanzhou, who was always very polite to others in private, said yes.

But if others don't ask him carefully, he won't say a word. He only smiles slightly, is polite and humble, and seems easy-going, but in fact he is very indifferent to others.

Liang Ye originally wanted to talk to him, but when his eyes touched that cold and peaceful face, he still stopped.

This man is so majestic that even though he is not a direct leader, he does not dare to overstep his authority.

"It should have some background." They commented on him privately.

Some people say yes, it feels like they have seen the world and have a different temperament than those who come from a small place.

But even at this age, it is rare to be like this.

After all, there was a taboo, and even if I avoided him, I didn't dare to go too far. I only said a few words and then stopped talking.

When Xu Zhi heard this, he felt a little sad for some reason. He felt that he had changed a lot, but after all, he was still not the same as before.

More calm than before, but also more constrained.

Xu Zhi felt that her worries were unfounded and hypocritical.

How could she, a little shrimp, be worried about someone else's big boss?

It's like the maid in the TV series worrying about her master.

Moreover, his recent subtle movements have the potential to push him into danger. She is from the Ji family, so she really shouldn't be like this "she is in the Cao camp but her heart is in the Han Dynasty".

"What are you thinking about?" A clear, low voice suddenly came from his ears.

Xu Zhi was startled, and turned around to find that he had left his troops and walked to her at some point. He was standing on the steps, bending down to look at her closely.

She was obviously standing on the steps, one step higher than him, but she was half a head shorter than him.

I don't know if he drank too much, but his face was a little red, and his cold eyes were not as clear and sharp as usual, but a little blurry.

They were so close that she seemed to be immobilized and didn't dare to move at all.

Xu Zhi held his breath, feeling as if his prey had been caught and had nowhere to hide.

She didn't know what happened to her at that time, but she just stood there and let him look at her, forgetting her ability to move.

"They were chatting really enthusiastically." After a while, he smiled kindly and turned slightly to look at the people at the outdoor dining table in the distance.

Xu Zhixun looked over and saw that he was indeed very excited.

Not understanding why he said this to her, she looked back at him: "Mr. Fei..."

"Shh-" He put his raised index finger on her lips, blocking her next words, and gave her a slightly reproachful look, as if he was blaming her for saying inappropriate words at such a time, which was too embarrassing.

Her face slowly turned red and she stared at him blankly.

There were slightly rough calluses on the pads of his fingers, and the warmth from his palms was transmitted to her heart through the warmth on his lips.

It was as if blood was injected into her dry heart. At that moment, her heart beat faster than ever.

Xu Zhi felt that she was about to die suddenly due to her rapid heart rate.

On a late autumn night, the evening wind felt slightly chilly on my body, but my body felt strangely warm.

When she reacted, he had already lowered his head to kiss her.

A slightly tentative kiss, moist and warm, with soft thin lips gently touching her cheek.

He seemed to be really drunk, his cold eyes were not as distant as usual, half closed and half closed, with a bit of lazy intoxication.

Just like this, it slowly moved down along her cheek, moving inch by inch, and rubbed it to the corner of her lips.

She didn't put on lipstick, just lip balm, which he quickly "ate up". Her lips were no longer shiny, but had a dull feeling of friction.

Xu Zhi woke up from her dream, pushed him away, and reminded him almost sharply: "Mr. Fei!"

He swayed slightly, said "hmm", and raised his hand to support the wrought iron railing next to him.

There was still that gentle smile on her lips, as if it wasn't him who had just been teasing her wantonly.

Xu Zhi thought at that time, how could someone take such a thing so naturally? It seems like she should be the one with a guilty conscience.

"We have broken up, please respect yourself!" she said a little angrily.

He said nothing, his eyes fell on her face calmly.

Although she was looking at him indifferently, her face still turned red uncontrollably, and she couldn't tell whether she was embarrassed or angry.

A large part of it was that she felt that she was embarrassed like this, and she forgot about it as soon as he hugged her.

She simply couldn't resist his intimacy.

His kiss was like a dragonfly touching water. It was not as fierce and fierce as before, but it carried a long sadness that was almost attachment, aftertaste and longing.

It spanned time and took her back to that late autumn.

That was when they had just met. For a while, she didn't dare to see him at all. She felt embarrassed and hid in the company dormitory alone, thinking that she was an ostrich.

Just when she was about to let down her guard, Mu Yao once called her to go to Jingshan Park.

She climbed to the top of the mountain with difficulty and sat in the pavilion for a while.

The breeze blew her soft and straight hair, blocking her sight. Just as she was about to reach out to pluck it, a big hand reached out from the thorns and gently stroked the back of her head.

Xu Zhi was startled and almost rolled down the steps.

He turned around and glared at him angrily: "Are you trying to scare people to death?!" He was

angry but also mixed with a bit of embarrassment.

At that time, they were in a weird state of awkwardness and intimacy, intimacy and alienation.

The feigned anger was just a way for her to hide her inner embarrassment.

Looking at him with a smile in his clear eyes, the forced anger on her face could no longer be maintained, and she turned her head away in embarrassment.

He bent down next to her ear, and before she could turn around, he began to kiss her cheek carefully.

Xu Zhi felt as if she was suffering from a serious illness. Her body was hot and cold, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

His clothes were also taken off by him.

She raised her head, her face was red, and she looked at him without wanting to speak. Her moist, almond-shaped eyes were moist and hazy, like a small hook.

Unexpectedly, he smiled and said nothing, took off his coat, wrapped her up, and carried her down the mountain: "Your clothes are wet, didn't you notice?"

Only then did she notice that her clothes were wet and her trouser legs were wet. The area is still a little wet, probably from accidentally getting on it when we went up the mountain.

Her face turned completely red now, and she didn't dare to look up at all. She was held in his arms like a little rice dumpling and walked down the mountain.

It had rained in the evening in Jingshan that day, and the grass was wet. When he carried her down the mountain, everything was wet from his shoulders down.

Her body was very dry and still warm. When he released her from his arms, she felt like a freshly baked bun.

At this time, she had forgotten what she had just mistakenly meant. Unexpectedly, he reminded her unexpectedly: "What is in the little girl's mind? What do you think I want to do?"

She was talking about her Ren Juncai look just now. Trapped.

She lowered her head, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

It felt like I was absent from class and called my parents.

Really, so embarrassing!

She was obviously no longer a little girl, but in front of him, she would still be teased by him so much that she couldn't help but reveal her innocence as a little girl.

He could always bring out the remaining shyness in her.

Xu Zhi pursed her lips and forced herself to pull back from her thoughts and stop looking at him.

She looked down at the shadow under her feet, entangled with the swaying tree shadows, swaying, just like her mood at the moment.

But he still looked at her quietly.

She said don't get so close to me anymore. You and I have to keep a distance. Please respect yourself. He smiled and took three steps back, keeping a safe distance from her.

From beginning to end, he was calm and gentlemanly, elegant and peaceful, and there seemed to be no transgressions.

But the remaining wetness on her face clearly told her how unruly this person was by using alcohol to be frivolous.

This calmness and calmness itself contains a bit of unscrupulous willfulness.

Her cheeks were red and hot. She wanted to be angry but didn't know how to get angry. She felt very frustrated.

Especially when the eyes touched his unmoving eyes and saw the faint smile in his eyes, the warmth on his face became even higher.

His romantic style is hidden under his elegant and deep appearance and is easily invisible.

In the distance, they came over after dinner, talking and laughing getting closer and closer.

Xu Zhi was even more frightened. She turned her head away as if fleeing under his smiling gaze, and resolutely drew a clear line with him.

However, the red earlobes still revealed some of her emotions.

-They

stayed in Beijing for nearly a week during this research.

In the first two days, Xu Zhi went to the company headquarters for a routine report, but nothing happened after that.

When the leader doesn't summon them, they just do their own thing.

Fei Nanzhou was very busy, with constant meetings.

As the one he named to help prepare materials, she was often called to accompany him to the factory. Xu Zhi even suspected that he was deliberately trying to trick her.

But looking at the face that was sitting upright and unmoving during the meeting, she immediately gave up the idea.

I felt that even the slightest rise would be a blasphemy against him.

On this day, as usual, she stood waiting outside the conference hall with the information. When she was bored, she would look at him through the glass door from time to time.

Fei Nanzhou was very focused during the meeting, and he didn't react at all when she looked at him so blatantly.

At this time, she could stare at him unscrupulously.

I was also wondering in my heart why he was so good-looking.

Xu Zhi has seen many handsome men, but no one can compare with him.

She stared at him like this for a long time, until he finished speaking, took a sip of tea, and looked over here inadvertently.

With just this glance, he could see her peeping expression.

He raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, put down the cup, and gave her a calm but meaningful look.

Xu Zhi quickly withdrew his gaze, his heart beating very fast.

At the end of the meeting, several directors filed out, many of them prominent figures in Beijing. She couldn't afford to offend any of them, and she greeted everyone who passed by with a smile, regardless of whether they talked to her or not.

A director named Zheng was talking to someone and walked straight past her without even saying hello.

Until I heard her talking to Fei Nanzhou again from behind, calling him "Mr. Fei", and he looked very familiar.

Director Zheng stopped and looked back with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "Xiao Xu and Mr. Fei know each other?"

Xu Zhi didn't know what to say, but Fei Nanzhou already said: "Old friend."

Director Zheng's attitude changed. A 180-degree turn made her feel a lot warmer.

After saying that, he wanted to invite them to dinner again, but Fei Nanzhou seemed to have no intention of greeting him and politely declined.

"Then I won't disturb you. Let's meet up another day." Director Zheng gave Xu Zhi a meaningful look and left with a smile.

Xu Zhi's face was numb, and he always felt that his eyes were a little ambiguous.

After a while, she looked up and found that his eyes were still on her. She was a little embarrassed: "What are you doing?"

"Looking at you." He smiled lightly.

Xu Zhi choked, she didn't expect him to say such a thing, she blinked but couldn't hold anything back.

Fei Nanzhou went forward in a good mood.

Xu Zhi felt that she had lost the round, and hesitated in place for a long time, until he took a few steps and then stopped and looked back: "Aren't you going to follow?"

She looked quite stubborn. When she heard him calling her, she started to jog. Followed.

However, his expression was still a bit awkward.

Fei Nanzhou couldn't explain what he felt in his heart, but the curve of his lips never dropped.

The process of going downstairs and out of the garden was not long, but she was already chasing him until her legs almost broke. After running for a while, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped, panting and glaring at his back angrily.

He seemed to have eyes behind him, and he turned back leisurely with the documents, and just stood there and looked at her as if admiring.

The expression on Xu Zhi's face was a little stiff.

She didn't have time to hide her angry look, and all her embarrassment was clearly visible to him.

After glaring at each other for a while, she didn't get any favors at all, so she looked away angrily. I thought to myself, are you angry with him?

He would just watch her actions like a child playing with treasures.

As for her, she just thought of it as a big show for him, embarrassing him, and not taking advantage of him at all.

Xu Zhi's depressed look was really cute. He slowed down and looked at her: "What do you want to eat?"

Xu Zhi ignored him and lowered his head to count the pebbles under his feet.

"Invite you to dinner." His tone was almost doting.

Xu Zhi's ears turned red unconsciously, and she quickly snorted, keeping her original intention.

"Is it okay to eat anywhere?"

"Well, tell me where you want to go." Fei Nanzhou said with a smile.

"Is Diaoyutai okay?" She deliberately embarrassed him, knowing that this place was not easy to enter casually.

"Of course. If you just want to go to ZNH, the door is open for you." He walked gracefully and spoke lightly of something that others thought was impossible.

Xu Zhi finally couldn't help but look up at him.

But she found that he was also looking at her, with a faint smile on her lips.

The breeze blew over the hem of his shirt, rolled it up slightly, and soon fell down again.

She knew she should quickly look away, but her eyes seemed to be glued to her and she couldn't move away at all.

Feeling annoyed over and over again, she secretly cursed herself for being useless.

-I

have been to the State Guesthouse before and needed to register in advance. This time Fei Nanzhou showed me a pass and was let in directly.

They visited the gift shop first and then went to eat.

Xu Zhi quite likes the food here, it is exquisite and suits her taste. However, while eating, Fei Nanzhou just leaned on his head and put his fisted hand against his chin. He didn't eat, and just looked at her quietly.

Xu Zhi slowed down his eating movements, and out of a humanitarian spirit, gave him a meatball: "...You eat too, why are you just watching me eat?"

Fei Nanzhou smiled and used chopsticks. Picked up the ball and ate it.

He ate very carefully and never spoke when there was something in his mouth. He chewed his food regularly and finished it slowly.

Xu Zhi stabbed him nonchalantly: "People are particular about people."

After saying that, he slightly raised his chin, quite arrogantly.

Fei Nanzhou acted as if he didn't understand, so he just smiled lightly: "Thank you for the compliment, I don't deserve it."

He hit the cotton with his fist, but it didn't even bounce back with any force.

Xu Zhi was a little discouraged and stopped arguing with him.

"Eat more, I see you have lost weight." After a while, Fei Nanzhou suddenly said this, picking up a lot of vegetables for her with the chopsticks in his hand.

Xu Zhi's thin body trembled slightly, holding back tears.
