At eight o’clock in the morning, London time, Lin Qiao got on the pre-arranged car to the laboratory with dark circles under her eyes. It was more than an hour’s drive from the hotel to the laboratory, so she took the opportunity to take a nap.
Seeing her yawning and red eyes as soon as she got in the car, Su Zhengxing, sitting in the back seat, asked casually, “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
It’s not that I didn’t sleep well; I didn’t sleep at all. And how dare you ask that!
As they were talking, Lin Qiao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, yawned again.
“I’m fine. I can still hold on.”
“How was the information I gave you last night?” He asked casually.
Su Zhengxing was a little worried. Could it be that she didn’t sleep well because of reading the information?
“I haven’t finished reading it. There’s a part of the technical principles at the end that I really don’t understand. There are too many proprietary terms, and I can’t even understand them in Chinese. But the rest should be…”
Lin Qiao’s voice got lower and lower, and when she finished speaking, she leaned back in the seat and fell asleep.
Su Zhengxing was still waiting for her ‘but’. After a long pause, when he heard nothing more, he leaned forward from his chair and looked forward.
In the passenger seat, Lin Qiao tilted her head back, her mouth slightly open, her even breathing a pure slumber.
She fell asleep in the middle of a conversation. It seemed she was really sleepy. Su Zhengxing looked at her sleeping posture like a puppy, feeling a little distressed but also unable to help laughing.
Just at this moment, the car turned around and passed an intersection. Under the action of inertia, Lin Qiao’s head unconsciously tilted to one side. Seeing that she was about to slide off the back of the chair, Su Zhengxing quickly supported her cheek.
The soft touch gathered in his palm, and Su Zhengxing unconsciously rubbed it with his fingers. Her face was smooth, slightly moistened by moisturizer.
The girl’s hair fell from her forehead, and the unruly ends of her hair swayed gently with the weak air flow in the car, teasing his bony wrists, making him feel itchy without realizing it.
Su Zhengxing felt a little regretful for holding her. He wanted to pull his hand away, but was afraid that she would wake up. In the end, he could only sigh softly.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have let her look at the documents last night.
In this way, Su Zhengxing held her face and let her sleep peacefully all the way.
When Lin Qiao woke up, she discovered that Su Zhengxing had been her pillow all along. She was so frightened that she jumped up from her seat.
“Mr. Su… I didn’t sleep too long, did I?” She asked, her face tingling with guilt.
“Not long. Just an hour and a half’s drive.” He held his hand expressionlessly, moving it horizontally to his side.
Lin Qiao couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Su Zhengxing stopped to look at her.
She immediately lowered her head, as if caught by the teacher doing something naughty in class.
“What are you laughing at?” He asked.
Lin Qiao remained silent, shaking her head.
He stared at her, and Lin Qiao had no choice but to say, “It’s like a robot dance…”
Then she couldn’t help but purse her lips and tremble like a sieve.
Su Zhengxing: “…” He should have thrown her out halfway.
After arriving at the laboratory, they were warmly received by the laboratory director.
Su Zhengxing had heard Lin Qiao say in the car that she hadn’t finished reading the materials, so he planned to discuss it in person upon arrival. Unexpectedly, after getting out of the car, Lin Qiao engaged in fluent conversation, clearly informing the director of several key points of the inspection.
Although her pronunciation was still childish, it was no small feat for her to memorize all those technical terms and express them fluently in such a short time.
Su Zhengxing found her quite adorable when she was serious.
But when it’s infuriating, it’s really infuriating!
