Spring Branches

Chapter 99

The secretary lowered his head and responded softly, "Yes, Mr. Lu."

Then, he walked out.

After Ana finished charging, he quietly retreated.

Lu Yichuan was the only one left in the office.

The phone is placed to my ear but not hung up yet.

Lu Yichuan said: [Okay, Xiao Si, please continue.]

The other end was silent for two seconds, and then he spoke with a hint of sadness in his tone: [I am disturbing you, right?]

Lu Yichuan cleared his throat and said, "No. My secretary just called me to a meeting. It doesn't matter if I'm late."

Tang Asi laughed bitterly.

It is now 10 o'clock Beijing time. After the meeting, it will be time for a break.

No one wants work to take up their personal time.

When Lu Yichuan said to postpone the meeting, who knows how unhappy everyone in the meeting room would be.

[Oh, okay.] Tang Asi said: [I don’t have anything to do.]

Lu Yichuan walked over to the black leather sofa and sat down, crossed his legs, turned his head to look out the French window, and said nonchalantly: [Do you miss me?]

A shy laugh came from the phone: "I thought about it."

The curve of Lu Yichuan's mouth couldn't be suppressed, "What should I do? I feel sad that I can't see you."

There was another chuckle from the other end of the line, saying: [Lu Yichuan, please speak properly. I'm not used to it.]

Lu Yichuan coughed and became serious: [Okay, if you are not used to it, then let’s talk seriously.]

[Speaking seriously feels a bit serious.] Tang Asi said awkwardly.

Lu Yichuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: [Xiao Si, you still ask me for something, that's great.]

[Won't you be angry?]

[What's there to be angry about?]

[That's good.]

Tang Asi always felt that there was a little wild beast living in his heart, crazy and heroic, and no one could let it out.

Can Lu Yichuan let it out?

Lu Yichuang picked up the water at hand and took a sip. Tang Asi's face was now all in his mind.

He misses her very much.

[That's it for now.] Tang Asi was about to hang up the phone: [I received an invitation from an S&M brand this morning. I have to get up early tomorrow. You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to rest.]

Tang Asi did not mention to Lu Yichuang that he was the one who got the invitation letter. She felt that some things could not be explained clearly over the phone, and this matter was also very important, so she needed to meet in person to thank him properly.

After Lu Yichuan hung up the phone, he was in a daze for 2 minutes, then walked out of the office and went to the conference room for a meeting.

Tang Asi, who was far away from home, hung up the phone and stood silently in front of the window, looking at the dim lights outside.

In fact, she really disliked this city. She felt that it was particularly depressing and impetuous, and the people here were extremely cold-blooded and evil. It was a city that could not warm people's hearts.

She really wanted to leave here and go to City A that she had always longed for.

But now she has no achievements and is not outstanding at all. If she goes back now, people will only look down on her even more, and even more so, look down on Lu Yichuang as a person.

She must have achieved great success and then returned to City A in glory, making everyone look up to her.

Tang Asi let out a long sigh.

After washing up, I went back to bed and picked up the book on the bedside table and started reading.

I don’t know how long I watched it, so long that Tang Asi fell asleep without knowing when.

The sleeping posture is extremely sad.

He curled up in the corner, holding his calves tightly with both hands.

She was completely unconscious, and this position did not make her feel uncomfortable. Instead, she slept very soundly.

The fragrance was so good that she didn't even notice the loud knocks on the door.

Tang Asi was not awakened from his deep sleep until the alarm sounded in the house.

She sat up from the bed in horror and looked around the room.

There was no water leak in the room, so why did the alarm system go off?

Without having time to think, Tang Asi put on his shoes, picked up his clothes and ran out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the cool boy I met in the elevator.

The boy was looking at Tang Asi ferociously, holding two wet towels in his hands. When he saw Tang Asi coming out, his frown slowly relaxed a little.

"you……"

Before Tang Asi could even ask "what happened", a boy grabbed his arm and ran towards the stairs, and stuffed a towel into his hand.

He said: "Cover your nose and mouth."

Tang Asi did as he was told.

The boy held Tang Asi's hand tightly, and Tang Asi felt a little awkward and wanted to pull it back.

I tried several times but couldn't pull it out from his palm.

As the two ran further down, a smell that gradually became stronger wafted over from the corridor.

Tang Asi only had 2 seconds to cover his nose before he was choked by the smoke and squatted on the ground, coughing violently.

The boy's tightly furrowed brows looked as if they could pinch an ant to death.

"Why are you so stupid?" the boy said coldly, but he still squatted down and helped Tang Asi.

Tang Asi's cough became louder and louder, and his chest felt very uncomfortable.

At this time, I must not remove the wet cloth between the nasal cavity, but I still couldn't bear it and took it away.

A large cloud of thick smoke attacked the two men.

"Just go away, don't worry about me." Tang Asi said to the boy next to him with difficulty.

The boy said solemnly, "Save your energy and keep running. Stop talking."

"You really need to leave quickly..." Tang Asi felt a severe pain in his chest, and his head began to feel dizzy, as if the world was spinning around him. "...I'm afraid I can't get out."

"..."

The boy also inhaled a little bit of cigarette, and now his throat is dry and blocked.

He supported Tang Asi and walked slowly, saying, "Don't say discouraging words."

Tang Asi's eyes began to roll up and down, and he could hardly open them. He said with difficulty: "...If you go out, help me find someone."

"I don't care, go find it yourself." The boy said unhappily, "Even if you die, don't die in front of me."

"..."Tang Asi was so angry that he laughed.

She thought this boy's weird personality was quite cool.

I really want to be friends with him.

So I said, "If we both get out alive, can we be friends?"

This is only the ninth floor.

Running from the ninth floor to the first floor is something that only people with intensive training can do. For those who don't exercise regularly and whose lungs have already inhaled thick smoke, the chances of getting out are slim.

Can they get out alive?

Tang Asi wanted to get out alive.

"What do you want me to do?" the boy said coldly, "I have never met you before, but you have already started to order me around. Beautiful lady, do you think this is appropriate?"

"..."

Tang Asi fell into a brief contemplation.

She...seems to have gone a little too far.

She forgot that they were just acquaintances.

Not familiar.

He was willing to sacrifice his life to save her, which must have been something she prayed for in her previous life...
