Memories are near, love is far away V94

  "Did I wake you up?" In the darkness, he lowered his voice, a questioning sentence that sounded more like a mutter to himself.

  She moved closer, reached out and searched for his hand, then interlocked their fingers, softly humming "Are you done?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "...with persistence," Nīe's words softly called out to him, paused for a moment, and lazily said: "From now on, don't forget your phone, okay?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Don't let me lose you."

  "Uh-huh."

  I like you.

  "Mm." He took her hand and placed it on his lips, dropping a light kiss on it, saying: "I know, it's late, go to sleep."

  They lay quietly, no longer speaking, and soon the sound of even breathing came from beside him. Lu Yiheng let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes as well.

  In the warm bed, their body temperatures gradually approached equilibrium.

  Zhou Zhiyan slept very soundly, and when he woke up in the morning, there was no one beside him. In the kitchen, there was a breakfast prepared by him, still steaming hot. On the dining table, there was a note left by him. Zhou Zhiyan's heart was gradually filled with an inexplicable feeling, and he smiled slightly.

  After some thought, she still dialed his phone number. The ringtone only sounded once before being picked up, and his low voice came over, "Up yet?"

  "Mm," she nodded, knowing he couldn't see her, a smile lingering on the corner of her mouth that refused to disappear. "Are you busy?"

  "In the law firm," his voice had a warm and gentle smile, "does your foot still hurt?"

  Nie Zhiyan pulled open the curtains, and the sunlight outside poured in all at once. Under the dazzling sunlight, her small face looked exceptionally beautiful and lively. She hummed a sound, "It doesn't hurt much anymore."

  "Have you applied the medicine?"

  "Hmm... Not yet, I forgot."

  The phone on the other end transmitted a knocking sound, Nie Zhiyan guessed that someone was looking for him. The phone hadn't hung up, and she quietly waited too. The voice of his conversation with the other party came through the phone, after a while, the voice came again, still lingering on the previous question, "Remember to apply the medicine."

  "Got it."

  "There is breakfast in the kitchen, you must eat breakfast, your feet can't stand for too long, leave the bowl, I'll wash it when I get back."

  "Oh." He thought silently, washing a bowl shouldn't be a problem, Mr. Lu, you're really overthinking this.

  "Don't go to work this week, take a leave of absence, or you can ask them to email the materials over, there's a computer in the study room, the password is..."

  "My birthday." Nie Zhen cut him off with a stifled smile, "Lu Lawyer, if your employees knew you were so nagging to your... wife, they would definitely laugh at you."

  "When the time comes, your face will be lost..." The words were unnatural and a little guilty, with less and less confidence.

  For a while, there was no sound from the other end. She held onto the phone, her slender ring on her ring finger shining brightly under the sunlight, reflecting tiny rays of light that dazzled her eyes.

  "Yanyan," he finally called out to her, his low and husky voice making her heart twist slightly, as he said: "What can I do, I miss you."

  Her face slightly flushed with excitement, she smiled again, "Then you come back for lunch, okay? I'll wait for you."

  "Good."

  He Miaomiao walked out of the office in a daze, thinking to herself that she might have eaten too much for breakfast and was having hallucinations... Was that person who just called really their BOSS? Really? Really?
