The weather in late July was surprisingly hot, and after a few days of high temperatures, it suddenly rained heavily on the day of August.

Unfortunately, Ning Suyi was talking to someone outside at that time, and asked the driver waiting at the door to pick up Tai Shuying who was trapped in the mall due to heavy rain.

The driver took Tai Shuying home and rushed to pick up Ning Suyi. The road was already blocked. The heavy rain made people suspect that there was a hole in the sky.

The driver Uncle Xu had to call Ning Suyi and inform her that she might not be able to get over for a while.

Ning Suyi told him not to worry, she was in the cafe and couldn't get wet.

When I saw a cup of coffee, I added a cup by the waiter and drank half a cup. The rain was even heavier, even more than the night I returned to China. The dense raindrops fell down and splashed on the ground.

The drainage system on the road outside the cafe was malfunctioning, and the water level could reach over the ankle in less than an hour.

As time passed slowly, Ning Suyi stood up and walked in the spacious aisle. She was really anxious. She looked at her watch frequently and kept paying attention to the rain outside.

It was as dark as the sky was dark, and the lights were lit in the cafe. The orange-yellow lantern paper wrapped in the light bulbs, sprinkling foggy light, which was more like a little firefly in the quiet night.

Ning Suyi saw with her own eyes that a pedestrian's umbrella was blown over by the strong wind, and most of the umbrella was broken. In just a few seconds, the man was soaked all over.

The ringtone of the cell phone pulled her attention back, she lowered her eyes and looked at the screen. Mu Jingting called and asked where she was.

As soon as she heard that she was trapped in the cafe, she immediately asked to pick her up.

Ning Suyi didn't want to bother him. It was really difficult to travel because the heavy rain was like the world.

But Mu Jingting said: "Jing Chi and I attended an economic forum on the west side of Cong West Road. It just ended and we planned to ask you to have dinner together."

Congxi Road is not far from the cafe where Ning Suyi is located.

She pondered for a moment and stopped urging. After hanging up the phone, she shared her position with Mu Jingting and called Uncle Xu to not have to come over.

The wiper swept back and forth to the windshield, and the rain still poured on it. Mu Jingting was in the co-pilot and told the driver about Ning Suyi's location.

"She is not in the company?" Jing Chi asked in the back seat.

Mu Jingting glanced back at him: "Well. I heard from her that the water accumulated in her land was over her instep."

Jing Chi frowned slightly, and there was a hidden worry.

A drink shop happened to pass by, and Jing Chi asked the driver to stop the car. Mu Jingting looked at him in confusion.

Jing Chi picked up a black umbrella under the seat and pushed open the car door. The raindrops were blown in by the wind, and his face was cold: "I'll buy a cup of drinks, you can pick her up and pick me up."

Mu Jingting had no objection. The restaurant had already been booked, and the car was going to turn around and come back.

Jing Chi opened his umbrella, got out of the car, walked quickly towards the beverage shop, climbed up the stairs, chopped the rainwater stained on the leather shoes, turned slightly, put the umbrella in, and ordered a cup of ginger and milk in front of the counter.

For about ten minutes, a black Bentley was parked at the entrance of the cafe.

Mu Jingting frowned deeply. The drainage system of this road is indeed much worse than that of other places. The accumulated water on the road flows, converging into a small river, and the curbs are flooded.

He looked up and saw Ning Suyi standing in the glass door. She was holding a bag and a file bag in her hand. Even though she saw his car coming, she was worried that the car was still a distance from the door and could not get off.

The driver Xiao Yang wanted to go down to pick up someone, but was stopped by Mu Jingting: "I'll go there."

He held up another black umbrella in the car and got out of the car with one step. His shoes were soaked in an instant and his trouser legs were soaked. The strong wind blew the surface of the umbrella and was like a kite, which could not be lifted and flew into the sky in the next second.

Mu Jingting walked up the steps, pushed open a glass door, and supported the door that was about to be automatically closed with his hands: "Let's go."

Ning Suyi hesitated: "I..."

She didn't look at the weather forecast when she went out, and she wore a pair of strap sandals that hated the sky. It didn't matter if the shoes were scrapped if they were broken. If they were broken, they would be slipping. I'm afraid they would fall if they couldn't walk a few steps.

Mu Jingting moved down her sight and realized immediately.

"Hold the umbrella." He handed her the umbrella.

Ning Suyi didn't know what he was going to do, so she freed up one hand to hold the handle of the umbrella. Mu Jingting took off her suit jacket and put it on her shoulders. She moved too quickly. She was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to react.

I saw Mu Jingting turn his back to her, bowing his back slightly, and his thin white shirt supports the curve of his shoulder blades and the outline of his broad spine. His moist voice mixed with the cold rain, with a gentle and damp feeling: "I will carry you over."

Ning Suyi was shocked and her pupils dilated: "No."

Not that she is so pretentious, at worst, she can take off her shoes and gets barefoot and drip. Moreover, for her own reasons, she does not like to have physical contact with the opposite sex beyond the normal social scope, even if the person in front of her is familiar with her for many years.

But Mu Jingting didn't say anything, turned around and grabbed one of her arms, put it on his shoulders, bent his waist lower, held her knees with both hands, and carried her back without any effort.

In an instant, the nerves in Ning Suyi's brain exploded, his fingertips trembled, and his whole body was stiff and he made a sculpture.

"Relax, I can't fall you. I'll put the umbrella on, otherwise we will both get wet." Mu Jingting's half of his trouser legs were wet, so he was willing to let it go.

Ning Suyi swallowed her saliva nervously and closed her eyes, but she couldn't avoid cold sweating on her forehead.

In just a short distance, it feels like a river flowing endlessly.

When she could take a breath, she found that her palm was wet. It was definitely not wet by the rain, but only her sweat. She was slippery and could hardly hold the handle of the umbrella.

The car door opened, and Mu Jingting did not let her go down the ground, but turned around and put her into the car. The suit that was placed on her shoulder finally fell in the bumps and soaked in the rain.

Mu Jingting bent down and picked up the suit, threw it in casually, bowed and sat beside her, and closed the car door.

Ning Suyi's umbrella was well-behaved, but his shoulders were not much wet, and he could not see his trousers and leather shoes, so he was so wet.

"I feel like I'm carrying a stone pier that can't move. I'm so worried that I'll fall you?" Mu Jingting jokingly found the clean towel in the car and handed it to her.

Ning Suyi had not recovered from her physiological tension. Her fingers were tightly clutching the bag's handle, and the edges of her nails turned white, so she naturally couldn't listen to his words.

Mu Jingting held the towel and pushed her arm: "Su Su?"

Ning Suyi woke up with a "ah" sound. She took the towel with a pale face and wiped the rain from her clothes randomly.

"Why are you absent-minded?"

"No." She wiped the transparent file bag with a towel and made up a lie, "I just worry that the file is wet in the rain. Nothing."

The rain dropped slightly, and the driver turned around and went back.

Ning Suyi's body gradually warmed up, and her thoughts also turned again and asked: "Where is Xiao Chi? Didn't you say you are with you?"

"Waiting for us in a beverage shop in front." Mu Jingting took the towel she used and wiped her pants' legs sloppyly. He found that it was useless, so he gave up.

After a moment, the car stopped at the door of the beverage store.

Jing Chi came out of the shop with an umbrella, holding a paper bag in his hand. The rain on the edge of the umbrella quickly rolled down like a waterfall and a curtain, rendering his whole body blurred like the rough edges of crumpled paper.

He approached and saw that the back seat was occupied by Mu Jingting, so he opened the passenger door, sat sideways, turned around and handed Ning Suyi a cup of hot drink in his hand: "Drink some to avoid a cold."

Ning Suyi raised her eyes and looked at him. His dark eyes, as quiet as water, were covered with rain, wet, and the emotions inside were incomprehensible.

Ning Suyi raised her tone and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Not much."

After she took the ginger and hit the milk, Jing Chi turned around and sat upright, put on his seat belt.

Ning Suyi's palm was covered with hot temperature, and it was very ironed. She gently rubbed the smooth outer wall of the paper cup, and the people in the car were silent.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Mu Jingting took a set of spare clothes from the car and asked them to go to the private room first. He wanted to borrow the lounge in the restaurant and change the wet clothes that looked slightly embarrassed.

In the small private room with suitable temperatures, only Ning Suyi and Jing Chi. Jing Chi looked at her, and the cup of ginger and milk was held in her palm. Fortunately, she drank half a cup and did not waste his wish.

His eyes turned to the tabletop, under the super mini deep mint green Princess Diana bag, there was a transparent file bag pressing down.

Ning Suyi took a sip of ginger and bumped into her breasts, and glanced at him. Jing Chi just raised his eyes and bumped into her eyes. He tweaked his thin eyelids: "What? Can I see it?"

Ning Suyi smiled, took out the file bag under the bag and handed it to him.

A line of black bold words horizontally on a4 paper - Suyi Charity Foundation Resource Development Plan.

Jing Chi picked up the small white buckle that opened the seal, pulled out a stack of documents, and hurriedly swept over it, and looked shocked on his face: "You are going to set up a charity foundation and are raising funds?"

"Um."

"Why don't you tell me?" Jing Chi complained, "Do you treat me as a friend?"

Ning Suyi raised her eyebrows: "Isn't let you know this now."

Jing Chi paused and felt annoyed, blaming himself for being too competitive. If Ning Suyi didn't want him to know, he wouldn't have let her documents touch just now.

Jing Chi continued to look through the documents in his hand, and asked her gently in a tone: "Has the Deputy Secretary-General decided? If it is not decided, do you think I can do it?"

He didn't ask her about the purpose of establishing a charity foundation, but just thought that he couldn't get involved in her work at MSCI and would always help her somewhere else.

Ning Suyi smiled and said, "Are you going to leave a relationship?"

"By our friendship, can't I be considered a relative?"

The two were having a stir, and Mu Jingting pushed the door open and he changed his whole clothes, wearing a white lapel T-shirt and dark gray trousers. Under the light, his skin was white without blemishes, and a searching smile was on his face: "What are you talking about, laughter can be heard outside the door."

Jing Chi calmly said that the documents in his hand were neatly placed and put them back into the file bag.

Ning Suyi said a few briefly, but before he could think that Mu Jingting would get involved and ask her for the title of director.

"The same thing, don't be polite if you need my help, just speak." Mu Jingting took a sip of hot tea and looked at Ning Suyi.

"Don't worry, there is a chance to get you to pay your wallet in the future." It is unrealistic for Ning Suyi to pay for it alone. In the future, it is necessary to raise funds from the public.

The dishes were served, and the three of them talked about their respective work while eating.

Mu Jingting sometimes used public chopsticks to pick up food for Ning Suyi. Jing Chi looked at him, and his expression was calm, and he couldn't even pick up a trace of abnormality.

After a meal, the rain outside was about to stop, and the sky was still as dark as ink.

In the men's bathroom, Jing Chi lowered his eyes and his long eyelashes fell a faint shadow. He endured it, but still couldn't help it. He asked the people beside him: "What do you think of Su Su? I remember before, you said you treated her as your sister."
