the person in charge of supervising the demolition originally thought that duan linbai’s words would likely intensify the conflict and cause the households to really not move.
he didn’t expect that on the second day of work, there would actually be many stubborn nail households who came to talk about the demolition problem. many people signed the consent forms on the spot.
this made a certain someone smug for a long time.
but xu jiamu didn’t know the exact reason. he only knew that his parents hadn’t been urging him to go home and register, so he was in peace.
the oral defense of the ph.d. thesis of the medical university was at the end of may. by april, all the ph.d. students ‘theses would have been sent to the higher-ups for blind review, so there was more free time waiting for the results.
!!
xu jiamu made an appointment with duan linbai to thank him for getting drunk and to return the money for the clothes.
*
that day happened to be fu sinian’s birthday, so the few of them met up for a small gathering. duan linbai had learned his lesson this time, and after asking around, he found out that xu jiamu had only invited him.
he specially made some preparations.
when he appeared at fu sinian’s house, everyone looked at him in surprise.
he was actually more low-key. he was dressed in black, but the design of his collar was unique. it was a dark red with edges, a little abrupt, but also exquisite and elegant.
jing hanchuan turned his head and glanced at him. ” this year isn’t your fated year, is it? ”
“no.”
“why are you dressed so flirtatiously?”
duan linbai lowered his head and sized her up.
this one was low-key yet unique, and he had specially chosen it.
“isn’t it si nian’s birthday today?”
“even the birthday boy isn’t as eye-catching as you.” jing hanchuan glanced at him. ” do you have any plans today? ”
she was dressed as if she was going to participate in a talent show.
“no, what arrangements could i have?”
duan linbai smiled guiltily, ” where’s xiaoyu? i bought her a gift. ”
“why does she buy them every time she comes? she has too many toys.” yu manxi said politely.
among this group of people, fu yu was the first child, so everyone would naturally think of her no matter what they did. more than half of the baby’s room was filled with toys.
“it’s okay. girls should be raised well.” as duan linbai spoke, he walked towards the baby’s room. song fengwan was the only one coaxing the child in the room. when she saw him enter, she couldn’t help but turn to look …
the way she was dressed today …
did they need to be so grand just to have a simple meal?
although duan linbai was usually a little lascivious, he was very patient with children and even his posture when carrying them was very standard.
“coaxed?” song fengwan sized him up.
“there are many children in my relatives. i’ve never given birth to a child myself, but i’ve at least carried one, right?”
during the meal, duan linbai, who loved to drink, did not touch a single drop of wine. he had nothing to do in the afternoon, and according to his personality, even if he did not go out, he would still invite a few people to play cards and sing together. however, he actually broke the record and said, ” “i have something to do at the company this afternoon, so i’ll be leaving first.”
she twirled her car keys with her fingertips and hummed a song as she left the house.
jing hanchuan chuckled and said, ” he’s lying. it’s the weekend and he’s saying he has something to do at the company. ”
“dressed like that, she must have gone on a date.” fu sinian said.
“doctor xu,” fu chen said.
” he’s usually straightforward and straightforward in his work. why is he so sloppy when it comes to matters of the heart? he dares to say that he has no feelings for that doctor xu at all and is still reluctant to admit it. ” jing hanchuan was helpless.
“maybe she’s shy,” fu chen said.
everyone was speechless.
shy?
duan linbai was shy?
he was the most thick-skinned among them, so he knew how to spell the word ‘shy’.
*
duan linbai left fu sinian’s house early, and it wasn’t time for him to meet xu jiamu yet, so he drove on the street for two hours like a ghost.
usually, when he met people, they would be the ones waiting for him.
who told him to wait for a few hours? he would definitely get angry, but now it was different. why was he getting more and more excited the longer he waited?
f * ck!
he might have gone crazy.
the restaurant was still reserved by xu jiamu. it wasn’t too far from duan linbai’s home and was a more affordable restaurant. when the two met, duan linbai couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
it was rare for her to wear a long dress today. it was green in color, just like the willow tree by the lake. it swayed gracefully, and her hair was a little fluffy. she smiled and waved at him from a distance …
it did seem a little nice.
“i’m sorry for making you wait for so long again. the bus is a little slow.” recently, xu jiamu’s graduation thesis was in the review process. in addition, there was nothing to bother her at home, so he was in a relaxed mood, giving off the feeling of a spring breeze.
“i’ve just arrived too. let’s go in.” duan linbai coughed lightly as he held the thermos in one hand.
who knew that he had been wandering around this place for more than two hours and had even counted the number of street lights on the side of the street?
he might have been possessed by something dirty. what stupid things had he done?
the two entered the restaurant, and xu jiamu booked a private room. they ate and chatted, and time passed quickly.
during this time, duan linbai drank a little, but xu jiamu didn’t dare to drink anymore. he was afraid that getting drunk would trouble him again. if this continued, he wouldn’t be able to return the favor.
duan linbai didn’t want to drink it either, but …
there were only the two of them in the room, and xu jiamu especially liked to stare at others when he spoke. he knew that this was a sign of respect, but …
he was flustered.
he didn’t know what to do, so he could only drink some wine to make himself feel a little more comfortable.
“call your assistant and ask him to pick you up, or i’ll find you a designated driver.” xu jiamu saw that his cheeks were slightly red, as if he was drunk.
“do you know how to drive?” duan linbai raised his eyebrows.
“i’ve learned it before, but i didn’t …”
“then you can send me. i’ll get the driver to send you back to school later.”
xu jiamu furrowed his brows. why didn’t he just call the driver over? however, before she could say anything, a certain someone had already prepared to leave the room.
he was a famous person, after all, so xu jiamu was worried that something would happen to him if he went out like this. he hurriedly held onto his arm and with great difficulty, he stuffed him into the car.
she bent over to help him put on his seat belt. there wasn’t much space in the front passenger seat, so when xu jiamu bent over, he would inevitably rub against her …
duan linbai took a deep breath. there was always a faint smell of disinfectant on her body, which made his scalp go numb.
he couldn’t help but take two deep breaths.
“are you not feeling well?” xu jiamu furrowed his brows in worry when he saw him panting.
“yes.” duan linbai felt uncomfortable all over.
“where do you feel uncomfortable? is your chest stuffy from the seat belt? ” or … ” xu jiamu furrowed his brows and carefully examined duan linbai.
his face was abnormally red, and even his breathing was abnormally rapid, as if he was having an asthma attack. when he took a deep breath, his hot breath fell on her face.
“are you okay with drinking? did he eat something before? have you taken your medicine?”
it was really abnormal for him to be like this.
xu jiamu was afraid that he’d eaten something bad or gotten poisoned from drinking too much, because his breathing gradually became heavier …
his eyes were red in the night.
she was good-looking, clear as spring water, but at this time, her body was burning hot.
“i’ll call your assistant. where’s your phone?” xu jiamu wanted to ask about the specific situation. if there was really something wrong, he had to be sent to the hospital in time.
“my pocket.” duan linbai pointed at his pocket.
at this moment, xu jiamu didn’t care about how men and women shouldn’t touch each other.
if they were in the hospital, it would be normal for her to take off his pants to check on him. to her, it was nothing to be blamed. however, at this moment, she bent her back even lower …
the fragrance from her body rushed into duan linbai’s brain.
boom, boom, boom.
it was as if something was burning.
her fingers were beautiful. she flipped through her pocket to look for her phone, and her fingers accidentally slid across his body.
it was like teasing.
” why don’t i send you to the hospital? you really don’t seem normal. ” xu jiamu reached out to touch his forehead. the heat didn’t seem to be caused by alcohol.
” you said that you were not feeling well. what exactly is it? ”
“still have a headache?”
xu jiamu’s occupational habit was to subconsciously reach out to open his eyes to check if there were any symptoms.
her slightly cold fingers landed on his eyes …
it seeped into his heart. he looked up at xu jiamu, and his heart felt strange for no reason.
“it doesn’t seem to be anything … tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?”
“why aren’t you saying anything? your chest is stuffy or …”
