Before she went to bed, she received Gu Yi's goodnight message. Yinuo held her phone and looked at it for a long time. In the end, she did not reply and turned off her phone to sleep. However, she tossed and turned the entire night, unable to fall asleep.
She got up in the middle of the night barefooted. The cold wooden floor gave off a bone-piercing chill. Yi Nuo hurriedly ran back to the bed, put on her fur slippers, and warmed a glass of milk. The night was as cold as water. The dining room was so quiet that Yi Nuo could hear her own heartbeat. The mellow and silky milk gently warmed her throat and nourished her stomach walls. It did not have any effect on calming her sleep. Instead, it made Yi Nuo's thoughts clearer.
He had been away for three years and stubbornly refused to come back. It was to escape and to prove himself. He had once thought that he would never come back. Some time ago, his superior had asked him if he was willing to be sent to Y City for a period of time to work on a case. He did not even mention the length of the assignment, so he agreed without hesitation. Perhaps he really needed an excuse to come back and see the ending of the story from a few years ago. He really needed an excuse to come back and face many reality.
It had been a habit since university to work or study when he couldn't sleep at night. * As soon as he opened it, the entire desktop was in a mess. There were constant email notifications. He smiled bitterly. How could the workplace be as easy as his student days? Nine to five was wishful thinking, darkness was reality.
Her superior had sent her an email, but she did not urge her to start work quickly. Instead, she said that because Yinuo had not taken a break for three years, she would be given time to rest. The case could be pushed back for at least half a month, and she could arrange her time freely. She was surprised that Chen Xue did not rush her with a bunch of exclamation marks in her email.
Jiang City. The mouse gently clicked open. There was only one sentence-I will personally go to Y City to look at this case.
Before she could reply, the computer started ringing crazily. It was especially abrupt on such a quiet night.
It was Jiang City.
"Didn't I give you a break? Why aren't you sleeping yet?”Jiang Cheng's lazy tone was filled with blame and heartache.
"Insomniac."
"Warm up a glass of milk and lie in bed with your eyes closed.”
" Yeah. I'm drinking." She was a little helpless, afraid that she would fall into awkward silence if there was nothing else to talk about. Towards Jiang City, he felt more guilty and helpless. However, he had to admit that from a friend's point of view, no one was more responsible than him.
As if he really couldn't find a topic to talk about, the phone was silent for a long time before Jiang Cheng said,""Yes. I'll go to Y City the moment you start this project.”
Yi Nuo jumped in shock and asked doubtfully,"It doesn't seem to be a big case. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent me here.”She could settle a small case. If she wanted the big BOSS to do it directly, it would be a little too much.
"I'll tell you when we get there. Now, go to sleep. Alright?"
"Yes, I am. Good night."
Every time she heard Jiang Cheng's doting tone, Yi Nuo's heart would feel warm, but she would also resist it for some reason. Therefore, no matter how good it felt, Huiyin was always rational and cold in the end. Jiang Cheng almost went crazy. In the end, he pretended not to care until he got used to it.
Who said that he came back just to face the unknown that he had left behind? Even Yinuo herself was not sure if she had come back so quickly just to ease the things that had troubled her in S City. She had grown up a lot, but the bad habit of running away whenever she felt conflicted seemed to have never left her.
