Endless Fall

  Chapter 24 The Imaginative Relationship

  Lin Jiao smiled: "Is it delicious?"

   "Hmm." He tasted a hint of sweetness.

  Perhaps Pei Zhi was too satisfied, and Xue Jing, who was sitting between them, was greedy: "Brother, can I eat a piece?"

   "Xiao Jing, that's my brother's breakfast."

  Lin Jiao raised his chin towards the small table, signaling him not to eat from the bowl and look at the pot: "I'll buy it for you next time."

   "Okay." Xue Jing nodded.

   Seeing that he was very greedy, Pei Zhi broke off a piece of unbited place and fed it into his mouth: "It's okay, let's share it together."

  Xue Jing thanked vaguely.

   When he tasted the delicious meat floss, he looked at him with clear eyes: "Brother, you haven't shared it with your sister."

   Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows.

   When Lin Jiao was about to say no, he fed the bread in the same way.

  's soft lips pressed against his fingertips, as if a fine electric current hit that piece of skin and gradually spread.

  Lin Jiao subconsciously rolled the piece of bread away with the tip of his tongue, and while chewing, he held his index finger again.

   She blushed, wiped off the crystal stained on his fingertips, and said in a cat-like voice, "Uncle, I'm sorry."

   "It should be me who said I'm sorry."

"what?"

   "My hands are full of oil." Pei Zhi let out a low laugh, dissolving her embarrassment in this way.

  Xue Jing followed: "I also have oil."

   "Wipe it first." Lin Jiao took out two wet tissues and handed them to them, the heat on her cheeks dissipated.

   She put the previous episode behind her, and together with Pei Zhi, listened to Xue Jing's childish speech, and sometimes corrected a few sentences.

  The warm atmosphere in the back row gave Qu Shao the illusion that they were a family of three.

   He didn't want to break the beauty of this moment, but when the logo of Shengheng Group appeared, he had to drive into the parking lot to remind them.

   "Sister, what time are you coming to pick me up?" Xue Jing showed reluctance when she saw that she was leaving.

   "Six o'clock."

   "Then I'll wait for you."

   "Okay." Lin Jiao pinched his cheek, and got out of the car with Pei Zhi with her bag: "Uncle, where do we go from?"

   "Right."

   Pei Zhi raised his hand and looked at his watch.

   He slowed down and took her to the elevator. Seeing that she didn't go to the other elevator, he asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Yup."

  Lin Jiao opened the air cushion and took advantage of the time to put on her lipstick: "As long as we don't talk, no one will doubt it."

   Pei Zhi wanted to laugh.

   There was no special relationship between them, but after she said that, it made people wonder.

   He asked curiously, "What if it is suspected?"

"probably not."

  After all, from the parking lot to the work area, most people do not choose to take a detour to the main entrance, and it is normal to encounter them accidentally.

  Lin Jiao pulled back her thoughts, raised her head to meet those long and narrow eyes, and said with a smile, "Even if there is, we'd better not admit it."

   Pei Zhi felt a quiet love again.

   He responded lightly, and when the elevator door opened, he leaned over and covered her ear: "Listen to you."

   His unique voice brushed Lin Jiao's auricle with the heat wave surging in the air.

   An unspeakable feeling hit her heart, she touched the earlobe that seemed to be scalded by the flames, and she was stunned in place for a while.

   "Aren't you coming in?" He stretched out a hand to block the automatically closed door, looking at her with an intoxicating smile in his eyes.

  Lin Jiao quickly put away the cosmetics.

   She stood behind him, keeping the distance between her subordinates and her boss: "Mr. Pei, are you going to the cafeteria at noon?"

   "There is a meeting at noon, so I shouldn't be able to go."

   "Then how long will you be busy?"

   "I can't tell." Pei Zhi buttoned his collar and glanced at the floor display: "But I'll get off work on time."

"OK."

   As soon as the voice fell, the elevator door opened.

   There were many colleagues standing outside the door. The second they saw Pei Zhi, they cheered up and greeted him with a smile.

   But after saying hello, the whole elevator went quiet.

  The environment was so silent that you could hear the needle falling, making Lin Jiao breathe a little easier, and she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she left the elevator.

   She strode to the station, greeted Zheng Yi and Feng Yunjie on the left and right, and opened the folder on the table.

   "Lin Jiao, where did you see it?" Zheng Yi was concerned about her progress as usual, for fear that she would not be able to keep up.

   "There are only two project copies left."

   "Is it all digested?"

   "Hmm." Lin Jiao picked up the ballpoint pen and circled it around her fingertips twice: "Should I start writing next week?"

  Zheng Yi nodded: "There are two tasks in total. When you finish writing and hand it to Manager Wu, he will pass it if he thinks there is no problem."

   "After passing?"

   "This will have to be arranged by him, but according to the previous situation, it will probably involve you in the planning of the next event."

   "Understood." Lin Jiao looked away.

   She spent an hour and a half pondering it thoroughly, and revisited the markings she made before, in preparation for next week's writing task.

   Seeing that she didn't even drink two sips of water all morning, Feng Yunjie, who almost spent her time fishing, had to say something of admiration.

   "Lin Jiao, you don't have to fight like that."

"why?"

   "Writing the task is very simple, as long as you master the key points, you can live as you like?"

   She said it easily, but she never thought that her situation was fundamentally different from Lin Jiao.

  Lin Jiao knew it, and didn't intend to waste time arguing with her: "You're right, I'd better read it a few more times to master it."

   "..." Feng Yunjie was speechless.

   She received the gazes from Wang Rui and several others, and when she got up, she asked, "Are we going to eat together?"

   "No way."

   "Then take your time."

  Lin Jiao nodded and turned to the next page.

   Waiting for her to remember a few key points, Pei Yilan also hurried to the planning department with two insulated buckets.

   "Beautiful, where are we going to eat?"

   "Pantry."

  Lin Jiao wiped the round table by the window.

   She unscrewed the lid of the thermal insulation bucket, and when she saw the big fish and meat inside, she was inevitably surprised: "Aunt Bai made these?"

"how is this possible?"

   Pei Yilan handed her the spoon: "Except for the scrambled egg with tomato that never changes, everything else is made by Sister Luo."

   "Very good." Lin Jiao used a spoon to open the tomato scrambled eggs, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "At least there is no eggshell this time."

"Too."

   Pei Yilan has no demands on her mother, as long as she doesn't blow up the kitchen and doesn't get hurt.

   She asked a few words about Lan Ying's situation, and after confirming that she was all right, she added, "Jiaojiao, I watched the surveillance of the two stores last night."

   "Did you take a picture?"

   "Take it, but it's too blurry."

   Seeing her sighing and looking frustrated, Lin Jiao made another suggestion: "Are you looking for a technician to fix it?"
