Chapter 1 Clouds

Officer Wu... I maintained the most elegant and professional smile, but what I actually wanted to do was yell. The so-called rules-based work cannot be a reason to delay and act slowly.

I leaned forward, put my hands flat on the table in front of me, and slowly stated the facts: My client had mediated with the other party under the auspices of the police and signed a written agreement.The police station had no reason to continue to detain him, let alone detaining him again for disturbing public order after releasing him.

My young client agreed deeply, and blew a long mouth and started to cheer. I held his wrist tightly to make him shut up.

This case is already very difficult, and his mean and stubborn attitude only makes things worse.

If he was not a bastard and hadn't quarreled with the old lady over the park seat, maybe he wouldn't have caused the other party to have a heart disease recurrence. Fortunately, the old lady was discharged safely after being hospitalized for a week, otherwise the case would have been damaged.

I twisted Jimmy Zhou from EBay. I usually have casual shoes and jeans, but when I deal with the police, I have to serve the pencil skirt, silk shirt and high heels. I have been standing for a day!

It is two different things: provoking trouble and mediation.

Officer Wu said.

You are not right at all. It is not my client to provoke trouble.

If the old lady's family hadn't thought that 10,000 yuan would have been less, I wouldn't have suppressed my client and went to the police again.Officer Wu had known this fact for a long time, and I didn't need to repeat it again.

He called the police officer who stopped him and beat him.

Before I was about to interrupt, Officer Wu continued: Of course, I know that we have been scolded worse, but I advise you not to be serious and let him go after being locked up for two days.If you have to care about this case, we can easily keep it for a week.

I sighed secretly, turned to my client and gave him an apology look.

He rolled his eyes, looking indifferent.

Sometimes I feel like I care more about their destiny than my clients.

This young man was free and easy, and met netizens on a whim. He might have been thinking about how to eat, drink and have fun all week, but I flew almost 4,000 kilometers for his future.

After a few more instructions from my client and his parents, I withdrew from the reception room.

Just took two steps, Sun Zhixiáng appeared at the end of the corridor and walked towards me.

I don’t know which fun-lovers in the company told him about my itinerary. He happened to meet a customer in this city and immediately invited me to take a trip back together.

I said no over and over again, but he couldn't understand at all, and even took a detour to the police station to find me.

I twisted my body and turned quickly through the wide corridor, hoping to disappear before he caught up, but the high heels severely limited my speed.

A Cai!Sun Zhixiáng shouted loudly.

I'm not available now.

I didn't look back and continued to rush forward, hoping that he could understand the hint.

The rapid footsteps behind me were getting closer and closer, and I closed my eyes and cursed dirty words in my heart.

Everyone has been breaking up for two years, but Sun Zhixiang still feels the need to appear in front of me at all times to remind me of my failure and his importance.

A Cai, wait a moment.It won't take you long, it's really a problem.

I stopped, took a deep breath, cheered up and turned to look at him.

Sun Zhixiáng is tall and handsome, with thick black hair, pointed chin, and carefully decorated eyebrows with sharp and intelligent eyes.

It's ridiculous that my skin has become a little darker these days.

Not only because we have wheat-colored skin, but because he regularly lie on the bed in order to keep up with fashion, let alone use tanning lotion.

In a sense, Sun Zhixiong's vanity is the main reason for our breakup, especially when I overheard him joke with his friends that it is very troublesome to be more beautiful than a female vote.

Although my focus on appearance is incomparable to him, my self-esteem is still hurt.

Worse, this completely changed my view of him.

When I announced my breakup with him, Sun Zhixiáng was so angry that she told me that I would never find a better male ticket than him.

I scoffed at this, but as time went by, I became more and more discouraged.

Sun Zhixiáng may be right. I have been out of the window for two years after breaking up with him, and my social life is almost zero.

Based on the pity look of Sun Zhixiong every time he looks at me, I suspect he thinks so too.

What's wrong?I asked in an angry tone.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Dinner at the company headquarters. I have two tickets on my hand, but a friend temporarily canceled it.

oh.

I nodded and prepared to leave, but Sun Zhixiu grabbed me.Staring at his hand on my arm, I lowered my face and said in a tight voice: Let go.

Sun Zhixiáng slowly let go of his hand and said enthusiastically: I can give you that ticket.

Thank you, I have a vote!

A hint of surprise flashed in Sun Zhixiong's eyes, but it quickly covered it up.

Since I broke up with him, I have never appeared at the headquarters' dinner party again, and I can hide if I can.

I said I had no future, but Sun Zhixiong has a good position in the company. Every time he dressed up, he was handsome and beautiful with a beautiful woman around him. I don’t want to see her showing off her might and her spirits.

OK, then I'll pick you up, you can sit at a table with us.

It sounds like he is kind enough to help me to avoid being in a lively party.

This is also the worst part. After breaking up with him, we did not become friends, enemies, or strangers.

Not only that, three months later, another colleague immediately became his girlfriend, and since then he was intimate and intimate.

And I am still stagnant and busy with my work.

This was my choice, but it gave him an illusion that I thought I had not yet fallen in love and was still waiting for him to turn back.

I hate this idea very much, but I can't help it.Looking at his deep concern, I couldn't help but say: No, I...well... I'll have an appointment with someone, and I will sit with him.

Have an appointment?Sun Zhixiáng stopped pretending, and her face showed an incredible look.

That's right.

The blood pumped from the heart seemed to pour all of a sudden on my face, of course, was a complete lie.

OK, that... that's great, A Cai, I'm so happy for you.

Sun Zhixiáng hesitated and spoke carefully, then, Chen Yue and I will see each other then.

Oh, he clearly remembered that he had a female vote, and invited me to attend a big dinner with him and sat at the same table.I resisted the urge to curse and said patiently: OK, see you then.

I cursed in my heart if I could not see you.

But what I said doesn't count, and the bad thing is that I have to pay for the impulse to speak without thinking.

There are twenty-five hours left before the dinner, and I have to find a real date during this time, as if I don't have enough trouble now.

Back at the hotel, I started packing my luggage. This time I brought a lot of clothes, and I originally expected to stay for a while.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the pace of work slows down, and everyone is busy purchasing New Year’s goods, making plans for vacations, and visiting relatives and friends.

Many people expressed sympathy when they heard that I ran so far to deal with the case, but I couldn't ask for it.

My life is simple, and it is good to have time to listen to music and read books, and it is also good to supplement your sleep.

It sounds a bit pity, but the Spring Festival is a lively and warm festival for family reunion. It is a fact that I am not suitable for me. I can’t admit it or not.

This trip could have escaped the Spring Festival, but I didn't expect to go back after it was over.

No matter when, the airport is always flowing and people come and go.

The difference is that red lanterns of all sizes are hung everywhere, strings of colorful balloons are decorated with pillar beams, and various characters, paintings and paper-cuts of New Year's blessings are also pasted on the walls.

Under the influence of such an atmosphere, people who are walking in a hurry do not seem to be running for life and work. There are more people who support the elderly and young, and more people who call their children and daughters. Everyone looks excited, as if they can't wait to reunite with their families to celebrate the Spring Festival.

I lined up at the boarding gate patiently, followed the line slowly forward, walked into the plane, and found my seat.

Do you want me to help?There was a voice of inquiry next to it.

I took back the trolley case and lifted it. The box was not heavy and could be lifted with just a swing of my arms.I didn't look back, but just said quickly: No, thank you, I can handle it.

This is a bit early. The aisle is small and there are passengers in front and behind. It takes some effort to wait or place luggage, and it takes a little effort to carry the box with your arms tucked.

I took a breath and raised my suitcase, put my other hand on the bottom of the box, leaning back slightly, while maintaining balance, trying to push the box onto the luggage rack.

Are you sure you don't need help?The man next to him asked again.

Of course, I didn't want to refuse, so I held my luggage on my shoulder, supported it with my other hand, and a few more centimeters...

Have you been so stubborn?

I was not stubborn... but... Suddenly, the person on my right hit me. Before I could stabilize myself, I felt that the person and the box were tilted to the side.Oh my god, this time it’s so embarrassing!

A pair of big hands grabbed me, took the suitcase from me, turned my wrist and steadily placed the box on the luggage rack.

The man stepped back a little, looked at me with a smile on his face, a perfect dimpled on his cheek.

His skin was dark, his square face was covered with thick eyebrows, his eyes were bright, his nose bridge, and his thick lips were the most conspicuous. His lips were particularly thick all around him, extending to his chin. I was not sure whether he did it on purpose or was too lazy to take care of it.

I tried to swallow, my body was a little unstable.It’s not because the other party is very attentive, but because it’s overworked recently.I raised my chin, looked at his eyes, and said: Thank you.

His smile deepened. You're welcome, my name is Duan Hengrui.

Well, thank you again.

I lowered my head and tried to get around him, but he didn't move.Try it again, but he still doesn't move. I can only say: Let me pass, my seat is in the middle.

Sure, but you have to tell me your name.

I don't want to tell him, but I hope I can avoid conversation and take the flight quietly.But he did help me, and refusing would seem too rude.I sighed secretly and said: Wu Ming.

I am very happy to know you. Duan Hengrui's eyes stayed on me for a while. What surprised me was that he did not make way out, but placed his hand luggage next to my box, then moved to the window, and sat down and said with a smile: It's a coincidence, I happened to sit next to you.

I nodded, lowered my head and put the bag under my seat, and picked up the blanket.

He reached out to help me move the handrail and moved the seat belt to the side.

I knew he was helping, but I still shook my head and said: It's so troublesome to you, but I can handle it.

It's a simple task, you're welcome.

Well, you're busy with yours, don't let me bother you.

I lowered my head and turned on the reader and stopped talking.

Duan Hengrui sat upright, and I tried to stay still, just pretending that I didn't see him frowning.

I couldn't ignore his long legs and broad shoulders, which made the originally narrow space look even smaller, and the heat he stared at my face was even more intense.

He is tall and strong, but his movements are smooth.

I could judge how he was lying in bed by the way he walked, and my imagination often stretched in strange directions these days.

I'm like a career fantasy, and it would be great if I could find that kind of job and make a living from it.

I cursed myself secretly and warned myself again: Don’t pay attention.

After a while, the passenger on the right also sat down.

I glanced at him and it was a young man.

He caught my gaze, greeted me happily, and said enthusiastically: Taking a plane is the most boring, and I am very happy to have a young and beautiful lady like you sit next to you.

He stretched out his hand and introduced himself: My name is Zhou Yue.A comprehensive week, off-roader.

Although I didn't like it, I still shook it with him.I turned my attention to the reader again and would love to bury my head in the next time.

Zhou Yue didn't think so, and leaned against me and asked curiously: What book are you reading?

Leisure books are not important.

I said quickly, hiding to the side again, hoping that he realized he was too close.

He began to ask about the details of the book, but luckily the plane began to taxi until soon after, and the flight attendant signaled everyone to turn on the blindfold and put away the folding table.

The screen in front of the seat demonstrates various safety precautions. I gave Zhou Yue a sorry look that he could not continue to talk, and looked at the big plane with several emergency exits.

The plane accelerated and the seat was shaken. Without any warning, Zhou Yue suddenly grabbed my arm on the armrest.

Don't be nervous, Zhou Yue murmured to comfort him, and his hand slowly slid onto my hand.

I was startled, straightened my spine and retracted my hand, frowned and said: I'm not nervous!

It was always like this at the beginning. He talked to himself, regardless of whether I wanted to hear it or not. The bumps, noise, tinnitus, and the situation would get better when the flight was stable.

I knew very early on that the end of the year would be bad, but I didn't expect it to start with the plane.

Zhou Yue is obviously the kind of person who likes to take advantage of his charm and handsomeness. I either chat with him or sleep.

There is no choice to get rid of the entanglement, I closed my eyes and hoped he could understand that I don’t want to be disturbed.

Are you tired?Zhou Yue suddenly came to my ear and whispered: It's almost midnight when the plane lands, and it's not a good idea to go to bed now.

I clenched my fists, and as soon as I heard the sound of the safety warning light being turned off, I immediately untie my seat belt and signaled Zhou Yue that I would go to the bathroom.

Back at the seat, Zhou Yue immediately stood up and said with a smile: You haven't told me your name yet!

Why did I do Ah again? This time I don’t want to be patient anymore, and said calmly: Maybe it’s because I don’t want to tell you.

Oh, are you in a bad mood today?I have some cookies and chocolates here, do you want some?Zhou Yue grinned, revealing a row of fair teeth. He didn't mind the impatientness in my tone at all, and he spoke and let me pass.

no thanks.

I just want to be alone.

Do you don't like it?OK, then I'll buy you a glass of champagne, how about it?Choose an Ah from the shopping booklet!

At this time, Duan Hengrui on the left hand snorted and stood up.

I began to think he was going out, but he quickly grabbed me, changed seats with me, pressed me in his seat, then sat in the middle, and said to Zhou Yue: When you were so dedicated, have you ever thought that this lady didn't like your harassment?

You have to care!

I frowned and looked at Duan Hengrui with dissatisfaction, almost telling him not to meddle in other people's business, I can handle it.

But before he could speak, Zhou Yue replied without hesitation: Do you want to invite her to drink too?Or are you just trying to cause trouble for me?

In fact, both.

Duan Hengrui said slowly, but I didn't want him to participate. I hope this ridiculous conversation would end quickly. I was about to stop it, but he continued: The lady you are harassing is my wife.

What?

I wanted to ask loudly, but his shameless statement without warning made me stunned for a few seconds.

Zhou Yue took a breath in surprise, looked at me, and said intermittently: If that is the case, okay, please forgive me.

Duan Hengrui leaned against my shoulder and said to Zhou Yue: I understand, I know my wife is very beautiful.I promise you that you are not the first person to think so.

I was overwhelmed by this compliment, not because I was slow, but if someone asked, I would say I looked ordinary.

However, in just one hour, I aroused the interest of two men, and even though one of them was a complete rogue, I was surprised.

I stared at Duan Hengrui for a long time. This was really unwise because he smiled too proudly when he looked at me.

I took a breath, found my voice, and asked: Why do you say that?

You are being harassed, princess.

He approached me and deliberately imitated me to speak in a low voice.

I didn't, he was just eager to please.

Duan Hengrui smelled of leather and sandalwood, and a little coffee and a little tobacco fragrance. Of course, these were not important. I paused for a moment and then said: And don’t call me that!

Duan Hengrui snorted, isn’t it!Princess.

I didn't want to argue with him, but the flight attendant happened to come over and stopped next to our seat.Looking at the three people in this row, then looked at me on my face and asked tactfully: Do you still need help?

She must have wondered why I changed my position. I thought about it and shook my head. The problem has been solved, thank you!

Seeing the flight attendant leave, Duan Hengrui couldn't wait to come to me and asked: What's wrong?Princess.

I snorted from my nose, too lazy to correct his name, but just said: If you don’t interfere, I will upgrade to business class now!I stayed a little away from his face and left some space between the two of them, telling you that I don’t need help. Now, the business class is gone, and even the champagne is gone.

Duan Hengrui moved his arm away from behind me, grabbed my hand, smiled heartlessly, and said: I bet that your decision was right.

His hands were big and warm, and my face was a little hot. Fortunately, the light in the plane was not strong.

I'm not sure.

I pulled out my hand and picked up the bag and searched for it, a pack of tissues, a box of mints, a pen, a parking strip, and some money.

Nothing useful can keep me busy, nor can I distract me from Duan Hengrui.

I read it again.

What are you looking for?

His voice was facing my neck, and the sensation made my spine shudder.You can't know!

Nothing, I said quickly, leaning my head against the back of the back seat and closing my eyes.

When I woke up, the first thing I realized was the soft wool leaning against my face, followed by a huge roar, reminding me that the plane was still flying.

I opened my eyes and saw a blanket covered with my body. Duan Hengrui raised the armrest between them at some point, close to me.

One hand was still pressing on my hand, his hands were warm and calloused, which was a strange contrast to my memory of Sun Zhixiáng.

I wanted to get rid of his hug, but he pulled me closer.

I looked up and prepared to give Duan Hengrui a stern look, but I met a pair of black eyes shining with joy. I was in a moment of trance and could only whisper: You don’t need to be so involved in the show.

I know.

He sounded a little regretful.
