Chapter 26How about coming to my house?

Until after three glasses of wine, Chi Xia's mind was still echoing with the last words Yu Ningze left for her. The noise around her was drowned out by waves. She looked at the nearly bottomed glass of beer in front of her, her eyes gradually losing focus. In fact, Chi Xia didn't know where her drinking limit was. In fact, she didn't have many opportunities to find out. At this time, she just relied on her cheeks getting hot and her mind floating in the clouds to warn herself that she could no longer drink. Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, even Ye Xi, who usually chatted with his colleagues, became much more talkative. I saw her lying on the table, holding the hand of the girl next to her, and boasting: "I tell you, when I met brother Aze, you didn't even know where he was." "Brother Aze was in college. He's so awesome. There are so many people chasing him in school!" His colleagues echoed, "Really? Then how come he's been solo so far?" Her hiccups were nothing like those of a rich lady, "What do you know? How could Brother Aze like those women?" The colleagues laughed, but Chi Xia felt an extra headache, even though she tried her best to massage it with her index finger. He touched his temples, but he still felt like his whole head was falling. And the "Brother Aze" in Ye Xi's mouth was as if the loop play button was pressed, which made her speechless. People who don't know think she is chasing stars. Unknowingly, Chi Xia's eyelids became heavier and heavier. She vaguely heard Ye Xi talking about Yu Ningze's "glorious past" during his college days. Although she wanted to prick up her ears and listen more, her head hung heavily. on the table. She didn't know how long she slept for, but when she opened her eyes again, she saw Fu Sheng's big face with a nervous expression. Seeing that she finally woke up, the other party breathed a sigh of relief: "It scared me to death. I thought you were drunk." Chi Xia wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, but only touched one hand of foundation. Dimly, she remembered that Yu Ningze had just slipped into her dream, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Sheng. This huge contrast was really unacceptable. So she subconsciously asked, "Why are you?" Fu Sheng said goodbye, "Who else could it be if it wasn't me? Okay, hurry up and pack up and go home. You have to go to work tomorrow." Chi Xia picked up the bag at hand Bao, followed the crowd out of the hotel door, and the oncoming gust of wind made her wake up instantly. Colleagues discussed how to carpool to make it more cost-effective. Fu Sheng walked up to Ye Xi and asked, "How do you get there? How about I take a taxi to take you there?" Ye Xi ignored him and put his phone to his ear. Looking around, as if waiting for someone. But when her colleagues left one after another, she didn't wait for anyone, so she had to follow Fu Sheng into a taxi. Before leaving, Fu Sheng turned around and asked Chi Xia, "Would you like to give you a ride?" Chi Xia shook his head: "No, my home is very close to here, just walk back." Fu Sheng nodded and got in He got into the back seat of the car, "Okay, then please pay attention to safety on the way back." Chi Xia was silent, watching the taxi's license plate number blurred in her sight, letting the wind make her cheeks tense, and then she remembered to look at her phone. The time displayed on the screen. It's indeed getting late. She wandered towards the direction of Splendid Spring City. The journey is indeed not long. The map shows that it only takes fifteen minutes to walk, which is just enough time to eat and sober up without being smelled by Su Yinuan. At night, this area is indeed not very lively. Perhaps the nearby residents are mostly locals or elderly people. Most of them go home early to help their children with their homework or entertain themselves. They are not like young people. Hang out. On the spacious road, except for the occasional passing car, almost no one could be seen. The warm yellow lights on both sides of the street shone on Chi Xia's shoulders, dragging her shadow very long. At the same time, it also reflected the figure of another person. She couldn't help but slow down her pace, making the movement behind her more noticeable. An uneasy thought emerged in his mind, and cold sweat broke out on the back of Chi Xia's neck involuntarily. She deliberately quickened her pace, but the stranger did the same thing. She was almost certain that she was being targeted. In recent years, news about women being killed while walking alone at night has emerged one after another. Even a few days ago, Su Yinuan was reading out the blog post she had just read in the living room. "Oh my God, you can actually get killed while running in the morning. Can girls go out alone these days?" At that time, Chi Xia just said disapprovingly: "You still have to go out when you have to go out, why not drink the northwest wind at home? The King of Hell wants you to If you die at the third watch, you will not be left until the fifth watch." The words he said casually at that time seemed particularly ironic now. She never imagined that she would become the protagonist of such social news. Under the great fear, even his thinking became confused. She thought that she was only 35 years old and had just graduated. Although she had made a joke a while ago, she still had a bright future. She couldn't even fall in love with a relationship that was as spectacular and beautiful as the romance novels that Su Yinuan usually loved to read. But she usually sneered at this, but now she was envious of it. Unknowingly, she had turned into the next street corner, and her destination was 800 meters ahead. The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and Chi Xia could even feel that if he wanted to, he could just reach out and strangle his neck. At this time, there was only one thought in her mind: she couldn't go home. She didn't know what the stalker's purpose was. If he was just stepping on the spot, not only would her position be exposed, but Su Yinuan would also be harmed. But where else could I go? Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to her destination, she could not find even a single person on the wide road. With no way to ask for help, she could only look up to the sky and sigh at the misfortune of her fate. But the next second, Chi Xia turned his head and happened to see the rather high-end area. At the same time, Yu Ningze's words: "No matter what difficulties you have, you can come to me." floated in her ears like Tang Monk's mantra. Although she knew he was just referring to trouble at work, she was really desperate. Chi Xia took out her mobile phone and hurriedly dialed Yu Ningze. She didn't know if he would answer, or if he had already fallen asleep at this time, but she could only pray. The steps behind him gradually became closer, and even the sound of breathing was almost close to his ears. Hurry up, hurry up... Maybe God heard Chi Xia's prayer. After a brief "beep" sound, her deep voice, which she usually disliked, sounded like the sound of nature: "Hello." " Hey! Husband! It's me!" She shouted anxiously, and there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Although Chi Xia couldn't see Yu Ningze's expression, after working together during this period of time, it was not difficult for her to figure out that he must be frowning, holding his forehead, or pressing his temples. In short, he must be very speechless. There was no time to guess his mood. Chi Xia continued as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Husband, I forgot to bring my keys. Can you pick me up at the gate of the community?" He spoke as fast as he could in his life. After finishing speaking, she held the phone tightly, hoping that Yu Ningze would understand her hint. The edge of the phone was wet with sweat from her palms, and she could hardly hold on. "Okay, wait for me at the door." Fortunately, Yu Ningze was smart enough. He quickly understood the implication of Chi Xia and gave her a dose of reassurance. Chi Xia's originally nervous heart finally calmed down, "Yeah, hurry up. " At this time, she heard the footsteps behind her gradually slowing down, almost inaudible. The crisis seemed to have been resolved, and she calmed down and prepared to hang up. "Don't hang up. "As if predicting Chi Xia's behavior, Yu Ningze's voice broke through the receiver and rippled in her ears: "Tell me anything you want. " "say what? "After she relaxed, she realized that the person opposite was her boss, and her tone of voice became more reserved. There was the rustle of clothing in the background, and Yu Ningze's voice seemed to be far away from the receiver, "It's up to you. It's okay to scold me. " This sentence amused Chi Xia. She didn't expect that in such a tense atmosphere, he could tell such a joke so calmly. After hearing her chuckle, Yu Ningze Question: "Did you eat so late today? "Unexpectedly, the other party picked up the topic first. Chi Xialeng was stunned for a second and immediately replied: "Well, it's a rare gathering. Everyone was very happy and drank too much. "What about you?" "With the low sound of the door closing behind him, he asked: "Did you drink a lot too? " His tone was brisk. For a moment, Chi Xia couldn't tell whether it was Yu Ningze who asked this question himself or her boss. "I..." She hesitated and dragged out the last word: "I'm okay, I didn't drink a lot. "In the end, she still had reservations. She lowered her head and walked forward, and the sound of Yu Ningze's breathing came to her ears, like a fine drumbeat, which seemed particularly loud in the silent night. The chirping of cicadas in early summer mixed with the light from the street lights. The warm yellow color cast a looming light over the unreal figure in front of her when she stopped. At that moment, it seemed that he was not a real person, but an angel, a savior, and someone who heard himself. Calling God. She saw Yu Ningze standing in front of her, wearing an ordinary black T-shirt, but it was more difficult to look away than before. The two of them put down their mobile phones in unison. He spoke first, and it was as if the pause button had been pressed. They stared into each other's eyes, but Chi Xia broke the strange atmosphere with a guilty conscience and shouted: "Director Yu... ." He bent down, his eyes moving on her face, as if he was confirming something, "Are you okay? Chi Xia felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She stretched out her hand and touched her nose, and said with a smile: "It's okay. Thank you for coming to help me." "It's okay." "After he finished speaking, he walked side by side with Chi Xia in the middle of the spacious road, but he still unconsciously turned in her direction. Unknowingly, he reached the fork in the road, and Chi Xia moved towards the entrance of his community like an inertia. But before she could even take a step, the person next to her grabbed her wrist tightly. She thought the expression on her head must be full of shock and confusion, because the same was true on his face the next second. Ning Ze let go of her hand, "Maybe that person is still nearby, so it's better not to go home yet. "Although it sounds like an excuse, it is not completely unreasonable. Chi Xia tilted her head and thought for a while, and concluded: "That's right. "But..." She immediately put on a helpless expression: "Then where else can I go?" "Except for Su Yinuan, all the friends around her are in pairs, so it's not easy to disturb her. It's not impossible to get a room in a hotel, but it's so late now, not to mention, her ID card is in another room. In a bag... Thinking of this, her head dropped lower. Just when she was helpless, Yu Ningze's sudden voice sounded like lightning across the clear sky, and what he said. At the same time, Chi Xia was really shocked. She was sure that he was right, even if what he said was- "How about going to my house?
