Qi Yan gasped for breath and was suddenly pushed to sit down. A thin arm wrapped around her waist, so strong that it seemed to want to cut her off.

A whisper came from her ear, and she was stunned, suddenly thinking that she was hallucinating.

She turned her stiff neck, turned her head, and saw a pair of deep, dark eyes staring at her. Her heart jumped violently, and she looked down at the hands around her waist, thin and white, with faint blue veins floating on the back of the hands.

At this moment, she finally came to her senses.

It's Lu Zhiqiao.

When Qi Yan received the news from her daughter that day, Qi Yan couldn't believe it. Her first reaction was that it was just like the last show, Lu Zhiqiao used her work to chase after her. But she quickly rejected the thought. She only told her daughter about her itinerary, and told her to keep it secret. She believed that the child would not leak it out.

Besides, she went to several countries, and the plan is for a month. No matter how clever Lu Zhiqiao is, she can't guess where she will be.

She believes it's fate, and the person she misses the most will always come to her side.

She spent two days in the capital, without looking for anyone. She walked on the streets and in the alleys, wandering around, taking pictures of local customs and traditions, and wanted to see if the two could meet by chance. But after two days, she didn't even see a similar shadow.

Later, she suppressed her impulse, thinking that she was here for vacation, and it would be a pleasant surprise to meet by chance, so she didn't insist on encountering her.

So this morning, she drove to the border of Tasang to see the largest baobab forest in Africa, and took dozens of photos. However, the car broke down on the way back, the surrounding area was deserted, and her phone signal was not good. She vaguely saw a factory building here, so she decided to come over and find someone to help repair the car.

The factory looked close, but it was actually far away. She walked and ran for half an hour to get here, and then heard a loud noise, and she was almost scared to death.

Seeing Lu Zhiqiao from a distance, she thought it was a hallucination, but when she got closer to see clearly, she heard the man who called "Vice President Lu" report the situation just now. She immediately gave up the idea of ​​finding someone to repair the car, and simply hitchhiked away.

Fortunately, she met Qiao Qiao, otherwise these people would not have taken her with them 

Qiao Qiao said she would not leave her behind.

Qi Yan's nose turned a little sore, and her eyes were filled with moisture. She didn't want to be seen in a mess, so she turned her face away and lowered her eyes.

There were a lot of people outside, and the black employees rushed out in panic, but some of them ran halfway, yelled a few words, and turned back.

The loud noise suddenly disappeared.

The sky was as blue as washed by water, the sun became hotter and fiercer, and the birds flutter their wings across the treetops. It was a calm and peaceful scene, as if nothing had happened.

Mr. Zhang came up last. He sat down next to Lu Zhiqiao and asked the driver to drive. Then he turned his head and looked at the strange woman sitting on Lu Zhiqiao's lap, and was stunned for a while: "Ms. Lu..."

"My friend." Lu Zhiqiao said lightly, loosening her arms slightly.

Mr. Zhang nodded quickly, smiled, and said nothing.

The car was driving on the return road at a faster speed than before, and the scenery along the way was still picturesque and peaceful. There were no more loud noises, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Everyone's expression changed from stony to flat to indifferent. The colleague who hunched over the car seat leaned back, relaxed, closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing war scenes on TV news on weekdays, most people can't empathize with them, and don't feel that kind of fear. Now they are in a chaotic place, and their every move is like a frightened bird. But after all, she didn't see it with her own eyes, thinking that it was just a fluke, she gradually relaxed her vigilance.

Lu Zhiqiao leaned against the car window, with one arm tightly wrapped around Qi Yan's waist, smelling the scent of sweat on her body, couldn't help taking a few deep breaths, and getting more and more infatuated, then wrapped her other empty arm around her, holding half of her body in her arms.

The touch, warmth, and smell are all extremely real.

She turned her face out of the window, her eyes got wet a few times, and she grabbed the corner of Qi Yan's clothes with her fingers.

Qi Yan's body slightly stiffened, and she glanced down at the hand lying in front of her, lightly grasped it, and put her little finger into her palm to scratch, as if to comfort her.

Her fingers shrunk, curled tighter, pinching the little finger, Qi Yan curled the corner of her mouth, turned her head and glanced back, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lu Zhiqiao's reddish eyes, her heart shrank, so she quickly clenched her hands.

She turned her face and grasped Lu Zhiqiao's hand lightly and gently. Her upper body shook slightly due to the moving vehicle. Through her thin floral clothes, she could clearly feel the soft cotton candy-like existence behind her. She straightened her back, trying to maintain her balance.

It was already hot, but now it has become even hotter.

Beads of sweat trickled down her cheeks.

Terrible.

Gabon is small in size, and the distance between the cities is relatively close. About an hour and a half later, the car drove into the capital city, went straight along the main road, and stopped at the entrance of the branch office building.

The border is desolate, but the capital is a bustling scene. It makes people feel very safe. Their accompanying colleagues came down with relaxed expressions, as if they have just experienced a haunted house adventure game.

Mr. Zhang answered the phone and talked about what happened just now.

Lu Zhiqiao led Qi Yan out of the car, her knuckles were slightly white,  she was afraid that if she let go, this woman would disappear.

The Chinese and English bilingual words "Xinbei Group" were conspicuously displayed in front of the building. Qi Yan glanced up and suddenly realized that there was a branch here, but she didn't even think of coming to visit it at that time, so she missed the chance to meet earlier in vain.

The last person in the car got off. She looked around and saw that they were all employees of the company. Obviously, she still had work to do and she couldn't get involved, so she gently pulled Lu Zhiqiao's hand and whispered, "I'm going back to the hotel first.”

"Hotel?"

"Mm, I went north from South Africa and just arrived here two days ago."

Only fate can explain such a coincidence.

The two stared at each other, Lu Zhiqiao saw that Qi Yan's face was covered with dust and dirty with sweat, she couldn't help but frown, and resisted the urge to raise her hand to wipe her, "No, I'll see you off later.  "

An irresistible tone.

Qi Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, hooked the corners of her mouth, and suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing her. But several people around were looking at them, it was inappropriate, so she had to hold back.

"Report back if anything happens, hmm." Mr. Zhang hung up the phone after speaking a few sentences, turned around, glanced at Qi Yan, nodded, then smiled at Lu Zhiqiao, and said, "Ms. Lu, let's go up first."

Lu Zhiqiao hummed lightly and walked in front.

A group of people stepped into the office building and took the elevator to the office.

Mr. Zhang was very adept at judging by looking. Seeing Lu Zhiqiao tightly holding the hand of the unfamiliar woman throughout the journey, he knew that their relationship wasn't bad. He deeply regretted his cold face, refusing to let her in the car earlier. So he went to the office to rest, politely asked his assistant to pour water for Qi Yan, and then explained the situation to Lu Zhiqiao.

"Ms. Lu, the border of this country is indeed a bit chaotic, but it's just a small fuss, trying to get some benefits from the government. It won't reach the level of military warfare, let alone provoke our Chinese enterprises. Don't worry, there's nothing near the factory area, and the capital is absolutely safe

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Zhiqiao looked down at the audit report in her hand, tapped the leather surface of the sofa with her slender knuckles, raised her eyes when she heard the sound, and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Zhang knows the local situation better."

Although she smiled, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of coldness.

Looking back just now, all the people who ran out were black employees, which seemed quite a lot. But in fact, compared to Chinese employees, they only accounted for a small part of the total number, making the collective seem a bit strange. And Mr. Zhang, a branch manager who has been here for more than three years, unexpectedly asked his subordinates first when encountering so-called "common things"

"It was my negligence that surprised Ms. Lu." Mr. Zhang smiled apologetically.

He doesn't like this place, and he looks forward to being transferred back to the head office one day. Now that there are leaders from above, naturally he can't neglect it.

Lu Zhiqiao flipped a page and asked carelessly, "How come all the people who ran out just now were locals?"

The air turned quiet for two seconds.

"They're probably scared."

The simple and heavy work in the factory is done by black people, such as security and handling equipment, etc. Some of them escaped from chaotic countries with their families and came here to make a living, so they're particularly sensitive to gun sounds.  There are also some people who are just lazy, and when they see an accident, they have a reason to slack off, and follow suit.

Because the cost of employment is low, and the monthly salary is only one hundred dollars, it can be used to make ends meet.

For a long while, Lu Zhiqiao didn't speak.

The air conditioner blew out a cool, cloudy, comfortable breeze, and the only sound in the room was the rustling of paper.

Qi Yan drank water silently, her eyes swept over the two, and finally fell on Lu Zhiqiao. Staring at the black tear mole, she felt more and more mesmerized, and her heart became restless.

"Continue to pay attention to the situation near the factory area." Lu Zhiqiao raised her eyebrows, signed her name with a pen, handed it over, and got up.

Mr. Zhang took the folder, nodded hastily, and then stood up, "I'll ask Xiao He to take you back to the apartment to rest."

"No need." Lu Zhiqiao walked around the coffee table with her high heels, reached out to Qi Yan, smiled lightly, but said to Mr. Zhang, "Let Xiao He come with me."

Qi Yan put down her cup and held her hand naturally.

Xiao He is Mr. Zhang's assistant and driver. Lu Zhiqiao wanted to take Qi Yan back to the hotel in person, so she led her into the company's car and headed to the xx resort.

The car drove smoothly all the way, and the two sat side by side in the back row, neither of them spoke.

Qi Yan withdrew her hand and lowered her head to fiddle with the camera for a while. After calming down, she felt a little sleepy, and couldn't help yawning. She put her camera into a small backpack, leaned back, and closed her eyes to rest.

Amidst the daze, a warm touch suddenly came from the back of her hand. She opened her eyes in confusion and turned her head to see Lu Zhiqiao looking at her deeply, her eyes flowing, tightly holding her hand.

Her heart trembled, she woke up instantly, and covered her with the other hand.

An invisible thread was pulled out between their eyes.

Lu Zhiqiao raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at her, then lowered her eyes, looking at their hands clasped together, her eyes flashing with shyness.

Her tear mole was like a delicate flower, blooming slowly.

In an instant, Qi Yan's heart exploded with a "bang" and poured out, but he quickly restrained herself and pressed his emotions.

The two were silent, but there was warmth all over.

When they arrived at the resort, Lu Zhiqiao asked Xiao He to wait outside and send Qi Yan upstairs.

Originally, she planned to send her to the elevator at most, but she couldn't control her hands, she just grabbed Qi Yan tightly, and she couldn't control her legs, so she followed Qi Yan to take the elevator upstairs, to the door of the room, and then entered the room.

Qi Yan didn't stop her, and tacitly allowed her to follow in.

There was a suitcase in the room, Qi Yan finally broke free from the holding hands, put the camera on the table, pointed to the sofa, and said, "Sit first."

"You..." Lu Zhiqiao didn't move, "Do you stay here alone?"

"Mm."

Qi Yan went into the bathroom to wash her hands, dried them off, unscrewed the brand new mineral water on the table, and drank half a bottle in one go.  Panting, she smiled and said, "The environment is not bad, there is a small kitchen where you can cook for yourself."

She wore a floral gown, the same style as a local woman, and the color was exaggeratedly bright, but because of her tall and well-proportioned figure, her facial features were glamorous, she had a strange sense of design and a unique style.

Her face was stained with ashes, her hair was a little messy, but her eyes were still charming.

Lu Zhiqiao looked at her, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and whispered, "Do you want to go to my place?"

Qi Yan was stunned.

The black tear mole was like a pearl ready to fall, and there was anxiety in those eyes.

Like a delicate little daughter-in-law.

It's almost a different person from the one in the company just now.

Qi Yan didn't answer, hesitant, of course she wants to go, it's just that the two of them are like a couple who are at odds, living together all of a sudden, it feels too abrupt, besides, Lu Zhiqiao is here on a business trip and is busy with work, in case she disturbs her... 

She was still struggling, but she didn't know that in Lu Zhiqiao's eyes, this appearance was resistance and unwillingness to forgive.

"Qi Yan..."

Lu Zhiqiao's eyes were filled with mist, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, and whispered in her ear with a low hoarse voice: "I miss you."

Qi Yan's mind went blank for a moment, but she couldn't help wrapping her arms around Lu Zhiqiao's waist, and let out short breaths.

She felt herself flying up, like a light feather, floating and floating, guided by a gentle force, no longer wandering, and then falling into a warm swamp.

"I miss you too." She closed her eyes, gently stroked Lu Zhiqiao's hair, "I miss you so much..."

Lu Zhiqiao was taken aback for a moment, raised reddish eyes to look at her, before she had time to rejoice, she blurted out and asked, "Then why won't you come with me?"

"Who said that?"

"?"

Qi Yan brushed away the broken hair on her forehead, and raised the corners of her mouth: "I'm going with Ms. Lu."

Behind the company building is an apartment-style dormitory, usually a double room suite.  During this business trip, Lu Zhiqiao lived in a single room with complete appliances, a balcony and private bathroom, and only one big bed.

When the two entered the room, Lu Zhiqiao answered the phone and wanted to go to the company. After explaining a few words to Qi Yan, she left in a hurry.

Qi Yan took a shower, changed into a nightgown, feeling even more drowsy. She lifted the quilt and climbed onto the bed, and when she lay down, Lu Zhiqiao's scent filled her nose.

A very light fragrance, refreshing her heart and mood.

She took a few deep breaths, smelling Lu Zhiqiao's scent, a torrent of warmth rushed in her heart, and then entangled her, wrapped her, and melted her into water.

Fate is a delicate thing.

The person in her heart, as long as she keeps thinking about her, will appear in front of her eyes, like a dream, but not a dream.

The moment she saw Lu Zhiqiao, all her worries and distracting thoughts were thrown away in an instant. She just wanted to hug her and kiss her, as passionately and fearlessly as before.

She struggled to restrain herself all the way. She regained her composure, but didn't know how to speak when the words reached her lips.

Now, she's waiting for Qiao Qiao to come back.

After lying down for a while, Qi Yan's upper and lower eyelids started to fight, and she soon fell into a deep sleep…

It was a very comfortable sleep.

When she woke up, the sun had already set, and golden-red fire clouds rolled up in the sky, and the afterglow fell on the bed through the window. Qi Yan sat up and was about to pick up her phone when there was a knock on the door.

She thought it was Lu Zhiqiao, so she quickly ran to open the door with her slippers on.

"Hello, are you Ms. Qi?" A young man in work clothes of a fast food restaurant stood outside.

Qi Yan nodded blankly.

The boy handed her the plastic bag in his hand: "This is a meal ordered for you by a lady named Lu." After speaking, he turned and left.

There is a stack of white lunch boxes in the plastic bag, and she can't see what's inside.

Qi Yan closed the door, put the things on the table, took her phone and checked the time. It was almost six o'clock.

There is an unread message from Lu Zhiqiao in WeChat:

[I'm at the company, I'm a little busy, I can't accompany you for dinner tonight, I ordered a meal for you, wait for me to come back.]
