An unexpected encounter

  The night is somewhat unsettling.

  The night wind after the rain is still warm and blows over the lilac flowers outside the window, shaking off a large number of them, and purple flower shadows are stuck all over the window frames.

  Su Ye slept restlessly, her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows lightly furrowed together, and her smooth forehead was covered with fine sweat, shining with a subtle luster in the moonlight.

  She suddenly woke up!

  In the moment before she woke up, she seemed to hear someone whispering urgently in her ear, "Escape quickly!", followed by that fleeting and elusive music.

  Su Ye suddenly sat up from the bed, her long hair cascading down like seaweed. Her mind was still thinking about the voice in that half-dreaming, half-waking moment, and the music, which seemed to be an ancient melody, both distant and near, light as a wandering thread.

  She turned her head and took a glance at the time on the bedside table: 1:30

  It's this time again!

  How many years had passed, she would still hear that voice from time to time at the moment when she was about to wake up, that "hurry and escape" was concise and urgent, as if warning of some unknown danger, and that melody, an ancient melody. More importantly, every time she woke up with a start, the time was always - 1:30 in the morning.

  The window was open, and the white gauze curtains floated gently in the breeze, carrying the scent of lilac flowers and moonlight swirling together into the room, everything was so beautifully illusory that she felt as if she still hadn't woken up.

  Suddenly, the phone rang, startling Su Ye again.

  On such a quiet night, even the slightest sound could make one tremble. She calmed herself for half a day before picking up her phone and pressing the connect button.

  "Dr. Su, I'm afraid your vacation is going to have to end early."

  When Su Ye put on her professional attire, Lin Youyou rubbed his eyes and poked his head out from another room, "Did you learn how to sleepwalk abroad?"

  "Lianzhong has brought a big shot." Su Ye casually tied up her long hair, "Professor Ding forgot again that I haven't started working yet!" Since she had just returned to the country and hadn't found a suitable house, she was temporarily living at Lin You's house. Seeing that she had been woken up by herself, she naturally felt guilty.

  "This is too much!" Lin Yao yawned, walking to the refrigerator in his slippers, making lazy slapping sounds, and took out a drink, "Even if you have to accompany Wang, do you need to be out so late at night?"

  "That's right."

  Lin leaned against the door frame and held back her laughter, "Then why don't you just reject him outright? Why bother getting all dressed up?"

  Su Ye picked up the bag, saying word by word, "I need to remind him in person one more time." As she spoke, her figure had already slipped out of the gate and changed into high heels. "You sleep, I've got the key."

  The final sound was replaced by the last door closing.

  Lin shook his head, "Obviously can't let go of work, a stubborn but soft-hearted guy."

  Beautiful beautiful dividing line

  The Sanlitun at night is still bustling, after the rain, it has restored its original luxurious appearance. The streetlights illuminate the south and north streets of Sanlitun, and the air seems to be filled with a sense of extravagance and luxury.

  The office is very quiet, with only the conference room lit up.

  Su Ye's protest followed the movement of pushing the door, "Professor Ding, I need to recalculate my overtime pay -" Three-quarters of the words were spoken, and the remaining one-quarter was swallowed back in an instant when she saw the unexpected appearance of the man.

  The conference room wasn't just Professor Ding alone.

  There is another man.

  That strange and excessively handsome man.

  He sat at the other end of the conference table, with a vast and luxurious Sanlitun night view behind him. The colorful fireworks seemed to burst open in the night sky, making the face of the man in front of him more three-dimensional and deep against the dark background. Tonight, he was simply wearing a thin black shirt, but every button was fastened tightly, and there was a subtle glow on his wrist, which revealed that the two cufflinks were luxurious.

  The light outlined the man's broad and sturdy shoulders, his tall and slender figure was indeed eye-catching. He had been discussing with Professor Ding all along, his eyebrows and eyes were serious, perhaps he didn't expect someone to suddenly barge in, at the moment when Su Ye pushed open the door and entered, he happened to raise his head, and when his gaze fell on her, there was a flash of surprise deep within his eyes, but it quickly disappeared into the boundless and profound depths of his eyes.

  Su Ye never expected to meet him again, especially in such a situation. When the man's gaze fell on her face, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of being caught off guard from deep within, just like that ambiguous morning when she woke up in his arms.
