The message was sent half an hour ago, and it was followed by two "cute" emojis. Qi Yan suddenly felt her heart melting, and smiled while hugging her phone.
[Waiting for you to come back [cute][cute]]
She replied.
—gulug
Her stomach growled.
Qi Yan put down her phone, took out the lunch boxes one by one and opened them. Green beans, eggplant, boiled pork slices... turned out to be her favorite Chinese dishes, and they smelled delicious.
There was also a lunch box with sliced pineapple chunks.
She sat down to eat.
The amount of each dish is not much, just enough for one person to eat, and the taste is no different from that of domestic restaurants, obviously it is made with care. Qi Yan was tired and hungry today so she devoured everything except the toppings, and then slowly tasted the fruit.
After dinner, she called the car rental company and said that the car broke down at Tasang and did not come back. The staff wanted to deduct her deposit, she didn't care, she said a few words and hung up.
Broken car. If it wasn't for her fear of being robbed, she would have rented a luxury car, with better quality, it would not have broken down halfway, leaving her in the wilderness and almost couldn't return. Qi Yan thought.
But on second thought, if this had not happened, she would not have gone to the factory for help and would not have met Qiao Qiao.
Some things have already been fated…
The sky was getting dark, and the streets were lit up with star lights.
After finishing the pineapple, Qi Yan cleaned up the lunch box, packed it and threw it into the trash can, and walked back and forth in the house as to digest food. Then she brushed her teeth, climbed onto the bed, and buried herself in the blanket that smelled of Lu Zhiqiao.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
She is hoping for the woman to be back soon but also hopes that time will slow down a little.
There are so many things she wants to say, but she doesn't know where and how to start. Does she want to express her love to Lu Zhiqiao directly? Then tell the other party: I have overcome my cowardice, I am happy to see you, I can accept everything about you, and I want to be with you forever.
It was only half a month since the night of the show when she said she was 'afraid', and she has changed so quickly, perhaps Lu Zhiqiao wouldn't believe her at all? Instead, feel disappointed with her and see her as a 'scumbag'.
Qi Yan's heart was in turmoil, she closed her eyes and desperately sniffed the pillow.
She knew that Qiao Qiao cares about her.
A small look in her eyes, an inadvertent movement, or a careless word may set off a violent hurricane in Lu Zhiqiao's heart. Just as she is worried about each other's reaction at the moment, they always cared so much about each other's feelings.
Since someone always needs to speak up, why not let her speak up first.
Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turned over, lay on her stomach, buried her face in the pillow, and curled the corners of her mouth.
As the night gets darker, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, only the street lights are on, and the car speeds across the road, leaving behind the sound of friction with the air.
There was a slight rattle at the door.
Qi Yan was on her bed and browsing Weibo. Domestic netizens were discussing topics such as which celebrity had cheated and who had taken the red carpet. She looked up at the sound and saw Lu Zhiqiao come in, and their eyes met.
"I'm back." She put down her phone and smiled at her.
Lu Zhiqiao looked a little tired, but she couldn't help smiling when she saw Qi Yan, her cold brows softened. She nodded, put her bag on the table, and asked while changing her slippers, "Have you had enough for dinner?"
"Here—" Qi Yan pointed to the trash can, "The box was swept away."
Lu Zhiqiao looked in the direction and smiled reassuringly, "It's good that you eat well." After saying this, she walked to her suitcase, opened it, and took out her nightgown and disposable underwear. "I'll take a shower first."
"Mm."
She took the clothes into the bathroom.
There was a rustle inside, then a pattering sound of water.
There was silence all around, and the sound of water droplets hitting the tiled floor was particularly abrupt. Qi Yan absently swiped her phone, the sound of dripping water seemed to be on her heart, and the beating frequency was messed up. She raised her head inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of an underwear shoulder strap leaking from the gap in the suitcase.
Purple, a very "mature" color.
She became more and more nervous.
The bathroom was smoky, and Lu Zhiqiao stood under the shower. The warm water flowed from her shoulders along the spine, comforting and relieving fatigue. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let the water flood her cheeks.
The past two days have been extremely eventful, today especially, the plan to visit the factory was unexpectedly interrupted, she had to move the later arrangements forward. She is so busy she could faint. When a person is extremely tired, the mind is inevitably irritable, coupled with the water and dirt, the red rash on her body is very itchy, all kinds of unpleasant things, she's almost relying on her strong will to suppress her emotions, just not to be angry with those few subordinates who are slow to respond.
But as soon as she entered the door and saw Qi Yan, all her bad emotions disappeared, leaving only joy in her heart.
The first half month passed like half a year, and the feeling of separation was like a knife, drawing countless bloody scars on her heart, even though it hurt, she could only bear it. Countless nights she dreamed of Qi Yan, either leaving her or coming towards her, causing her world to be turned upside down, waking up to unbearable loneliness.
Yan Yan said that she hasn't given up, so she just waited, and she is willing to wait as long as she wanted.
It is clear that they have never been together, but today that they met again, it is like they have lost and found each other.
This time she won't lose her again.
After taking a shower, Lu Zhiqiao put on her nightgown
It was a very short halter style that barely covered the buttocks. The big v-neck is inlaid with black lace, which makes the "career line" deeper and more charming. This was given to her by Jiang Yu last time. She saw that the style and texture were good, and it was suitable for her to wear alone. She took it with her for this trip, but she forgot that there was another person in the room.
She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, blushing up to her ears, as if she was about to bleed.
What to do?
Only wearing this one, if Yan Yan sees it, she might think she is trying to seduce her.
In case of stirring up a fire...
After struggling for a while, Lu Zhiqiao took a bath towel and put it on, slowly dried her hair, walked out of the bathroom bravely, and glanced at the bedside with guilty eyes.
There's no one there.
She was stunned, and turned her gaze to the balcony. Qi Yan stood there looking out, her tall back, and two slender and straight legs were particularly eye-catching. She's also wearing a halter nightgown. The style is slightly conservative, but it looks more lustful than her.
She stared blankly.
The woman turned around suddenly, her eyes were caught off guard, and she was taken aback.
Lu Zhiqiao hurriedly looked away, clutching the towel tightly.
This morning, she walked a lot in high heels, and her calf was a little sore. She walked to the sofa and sat down, lowered her head, and stretched out her hand to pinch her calf. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qi Yan walking over, and with the wind blowing in her ears, she sat beside her.
Qi Yan didn't speak, bent down and grabbed Lu Zhiqiao's ankle, placed it on her knee, rubbed and pressed it with her fingertips tentatively, with varying degrees of strength.
Like the time in Songshan.
At that time, Lu Zhiqiao wore thin pants, but they acted as a barrier, preventing Qi Yan from directly touching her skin, which relieved some sensitivity. But this time there was no cover, and the warmth of her fingertips was jumping in the pores making her heart pound.
Qi Yan lowered her head, her expression was focused, and her movements were careful and meticulous, as if she was caring for a treasure of art.
The shadow of the lamp enveloped her face, glamorous and enchanting.
Lu Zhiqiao stared at her intently, her heart beating faster, and she couldn't even speak for a moment, "You...why were you in the factory area?"
"I went to take photos of baobab trees. The car broke down halfway. I saw a factory building nearby and wanted to ask for help." Qi Yan explained briefly without raising her head.
This person has poor physical strength and prefers to wear high heels, which makes it difficult for her calves to bear. It seems that she needs to urge her to exercise well once they go back.
Without her around, she won't even have anyone to massage her shoulders and legs.
She can't live without her either.
"What kind of car?"
"Rented, Silver Xiali."
Lu Zhiqiao's pupils shrank suddenly, the silver-gray car flashed in her mind, and she murmured: "So it's really you..."
"What?" Qi Yan looked up in surprise.
"The day I first arrived, I saw a series of silver cars on the road. I opened the window and felt that the person inside looked like you, but I wasn't sure." Lu Zhiqiao said in a low voice.
At that time, she thought that she was suffering from longing, and when she saw that everyone looked like Qi Yan, she laughed at herself.
Now that she thinks about it, it was because of fear.
If Qi Yan's car hadn't broken down and hadn't gone to the factory to find someone, she would have missed her.
This country is neither big nor small, and there are so many people, where will she go to find her?
Fortunately, fortunately.
Just after taking a bath, her cheeks looked slightly tipsy and flushed, like a pink and white peach blossom, her eyes were filled with water, and the black tear mole seemed to be dripping at any time, showing tenderness.
Qi Yan stared at her face, distracted for a moment, her nose turned a little sore, but she quickly recovered, "Are you sure it was me now?"
"Mm."
"I've been in the capital for two days. I originally planned to finish shooting the scenery today and go to the next country tomorrow. Who knew—" Qi Yan shook her head helplessly, then lowered her head and continued to help her calf.
Lu Zhiqiao blinked and held back her tears. She smiled and said, "If I didn't know you're traveling, I thought you were fleeing. You're wearing those fancy clothes... To be honest, I almost didn't recognize you.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Why did you make such a mess of yourself?"
"Do as the Romans do." The smile on Qi Yan's face froze, hiding a trace of awkwardness in her eyes, "I feel that Africa is more 'primal', mysterious, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is very suitable for outdoor adventures, especially when you see an elephant, rhinos, giraffes... all I take are landscape photos in my camera, and I can't get enough of them."
She didn't mention the robbery.
It's all over, there is no danger, she doesn't want to say it to make Qiao Qiao worry.
She shrugged and smiled more easily.
"Now there are only the North and South Poles left that I haven't gone yet. The North Pole... I've been to Iceland before, so let's consider it as a visit. The South Pole can be arranged this winter."
"You might as well go to Mars." Lu Zhiqiao said with a smile.
Qi Yan raised her brows and nodded solemnly, "Sure, tie me up like a monkey in the sky."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After continuing to press and pinch alternately for a while, the soreness in her calf gradually eased. Lu Zhiqiao leaned on Qi Yan's shoulder and yawned, feeling her eyelids a little heavy.
"Does it still hurt?" Qi Yan asked softly.
She woke up suddenly, shook her head, put her legs down, "I'll make a call to Niu Niu." After speaking, she got up to get her mobile phone, and when she checked the time, it was ten o'clock, so she hurriedly said to Qi Yan, "Go to bed first."
While walking, the lower corner of the bath towel dropped, revealing the black lace.
Qi Yan's eyes dimmed, her throat moved unconsciously, and she raised her brows and smiled: "Shall we sleep in the same bed?"
She glanced at the big bed.
Lu Zhiqiao looked over and blushed immediately, a look of shame flashed in her eyes, and whispered, "It's not like we haven't slept together before."
"Good."
Qi Yan coughed twice, then pursed her lips and smiled.
There are many mosquitoes in summer nights, and the mosquitoes in Africa are especially vicious. Once they bite a big bag, they will not disappear for several days. Lu Zhiqiao stood on the balcony and made a phone call. In less than a minute, she got three bites on her legs, and the itching spread rapidly.
Her daughter was fine at home, so after asking a few questions, she hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Qi Yan leaning on the table and looking at her.
Her twinkling brown eyes, like a whirlpool, dragged her into the deepest part.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Why...why haven't you slept yet?" She blushed and couldn't speak clearly.
Qi Yan smiled softly: "Waiting for you."
She felt an electric current flowing through her chest, Lu Zhiqiao shook her hand, and the bath towel lost its hold, spread out and fell off.
A deep purple dress with thin and narrow straps, embedded with black lace. The long "career line" is impressively exposed in the air, and little pink brown traces can be faintly seen under the lace.
Qi Yan took a light breath, her pupils suddenly shrank, and the nerves in her brain jumped up.
Her throat tightened, feeling a little dry and itchy.
The words that she had brewed in her heart to say were scattered by this sudden excitement and thrown to the back of her mind as much as possible, and another thought came up and could not be pressed.
Lu Zhiqiao froze for a few seconds, hurriedly picked up the bath towel and put it on, walked past her quickly with her head down, took the laptop and sat down at the table, with her back to her, and said, "Go to sleep, I still have an email to send…”
After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to cover her cheek, the temperature was astonishingly hot.
Looking at her shy back, Qi Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, feeling that she was more charming and flirtatious, so she walked over slowly, bent over and approached: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. It turns out that Boss Lu is so shy, huh?"
The heat hit her ears, Lu Zhiqiao shivered, pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Boss Lu?"
"Don't call me that."
"Then what should I call you?" Qi Yan became even more energetic, and moved closer, her mouth almost touching her ear.
Lu Zhiqiao tilted her head, with shame in her eyes, and said softly, "In front of you... there is no Boss Lu, only Qiao Qiao."
The breath in her ear suddenly became deep.
The air turned silent.
In the chest, in the throat, on the wrists, there are thumping everywhere.
A moment later, a gentle whisper came from behind: "Good night, Qiao~"
"..."
The night was dark and silent, and the waning moon gave off a dim light.
Gabonians don't seem to like nightlife. After dark, even in the city center, there are not many people on the street. The night here is extremely quiet, as if returning to the original state. Lying on the bed, it seems that elephant calls from the grassland can be heard.
Qi Yan couldn't fall asleep. She had a full sleep in the afternoon. Although her eyes were closed at the moment, she is very conscious.
She smells the familiar fragrance, and hears Lu Zhiqiao's typing on the keyboard. It was very soft and fast, with occasional pauses, and it disappeared after a while. Then there was deliberately light footsteps, rustling.
The lights were turned off and the surroundings plunged into darkness.
The mattress gently lifted, and the side sank a little, carrying a body warmth and fragrance.
Qi Yan became inexplicably excited, her arm was like a piece of iron attracted by a magnet, she couldn't help but want to poke to the side. She was afraid of scaring Lu Zhiqiao, so she didn't move for a long time.
Bedtime is good for talking.
There are some things that should be said.
After waiting for a while, Qi Yan quietly opened her eyes and turned her neck, unable to see anything in the dark.
"Qiao Qiao..."
She lay on her side, reaching out to hug Lu Zhiqiao.
"I'm sorry I let you suffer a lot alone, in fact, I'm not as brave as I thought I was, I'm not perfect at all, but I figured it out, we...Qiao Qiao?"
After rambling for a long time, no one responded.
Qi Yan moved closer, and was stunned when she heard Lu Zhiqiao's steady and deep breathing.
Fell asleep?

The next day, when Qi Yan woke up, Lu Zhiqiao was no longer in the room.
She hurriedly got up to wash, got dressed, and called Lu Zhiqiao. When she learned that the other party was in the company, she thought she had nothing to do, so she went there too.
Today was very busy. Lu Zhiqiao sat in the conference room all morning while Qi Yan waited outside, and she didn't even see her face.
By noon, people came out, but only for a bathroom break.
She couldn't even be given a look.
Fortunately, she's a familiar face from yesterday, and everyone thought she was from the head office, so there was no objection. Mr. Zhang's assistant, Xiao He, even came over to deliver coffee to her.
Judging by this situation, she's afraid they have to eat lunch inside.
Qi Yan drank her last sip of coffee and was thinking about it when she saw a manager-like person calling a small employee to order food from the cafeteria.
The little clerk was very attentive, running up and down in a hurry, and soon came up with a meal. He held more than ten boxed meals in two bags on his left hand, and the individual bag on his right hand was not visible, but it was obviously of better quality and even printed with patterns.
He was about to go into the meeting room when Qi Yan suddenly stood up and stopped him: "Wait a minute."
"???"
"What's in here?" Qi Yan asked, pointing to the bag with the pattern printed on it.
The clerk was taken aback, seeing her questioning manner, thought it was the leader of the head office, subconsciously said: "Home-cooked meal, prepared for Ms. Lu."
Tsk.
There are so many people in the conference room who all eat ordinary boxed lunches, but why do they need to prepare private dishes for Lu Zhiqiao so that she can eat better ones in front of everyone? Wouldn't this put her in a tight spot?
The young man was stunned, looking like a fresh graduate.
Qi Yan lowered her face, pointed to the private kitchen and said, "Take it back. Let Boss Lu eat the boxed lunch."
"Ah?" He was stunned, "What if Ms. Lu is not happy?"
Qi Yan sighed, ignored him, grabbed two bags of lunch boxes and entered the conference room.
All eyes focused on her.
Including Lu Zhiqiao.
"Ms. Lu, I'm sorry, the delivery of food in the cafeteria is a bit slow, and there are not many dishes. If you are not used to eating, I will order something else." Qi Yan smiled naturally, and took out a boxed lunch from the bag and put it in front of Lu Zhiqiao.
Lu Zhiqiao quickly reacted, with no waves in her eyes, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, everyone eats the same."
Qi Yan nodded, distributed lunch boxes to the others one by one, and then withdrew.
The young man was still standing at the door.
…
In the afternoon was the trade show prep work, Lu Zhiqiao and a group of managers went to the exhibition venue, Qi Yan also followed her as an assistant.
Busy until the sun went down, Lu Zhiqiao declined Mr. Zhang's dinner invitation, and went back to the apartment with Qi Yan.
As soon as she entered, Qi Yan threw the bag away, grabbed the water and drank it.
"I'm exhausted..."
After drinking half a bottle of water, she wiped her mouth with a paper towel, gasped for breath, and was suddenly hugged from behind.
"Qi Yan—"
The fragrant breath rushed to the ear, with a low and hoarse voice.
Qi Yan trembled, grabbed her hand, and hummed softly in a nasal voice.
"Answer a question for me."
"Ask away."
"Do you want..."
Lu Zhiqiao tightened her arms, buried her face on the back of her neck, closed her eyes, and murmured: "...to be our daughter's little mom?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

She woke up suddenly, shook her head, put her legs down, "I'll make a call to Niu Niu." After speaking, she got up to get her mobile phone, and when she checked the time, it was ten o'clock, so she hurriedly said to Qi Yan, "Go to bed first."
While walking, the lower corner of the bath towel dropped, revealing the black lace.
Qi Yan's eyes dimmed, her throat moved unconsciously, and she raised her brows and smiled: "Shall we sleep in the same bed?"
She glanced at the big bed.
Lu Zhiqiao looked over and blushed immediately, a look of shame flashed in her eyes, and whispered, "It's not like we haven't slept together before."
"Good."
Qi Yan coughed twice, then pursed her lips and smiled.
There are many mosquitoes in summer nights, and the mosquitoes in Africa are especially vicious. Once they bite a big bag, they will not disappear for several days. Lu Zhiqiao stood on the balcony and made a phone call. In less than a minute, she got three bites on her legs, and the itching spread rapidly.
Her daughter was fine at home, so after asking a few questions, she hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Qi Yan leaning on the table and looking at her.
Her twinkling brown eyes, like a whirlpool, dragged her into the deepest part.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Why...why haven't you slept yet?" She blushed and couldn't speak clearly.
Qi Yan smiled softly: "Waiting for you."
She felt an electric current flowing through her chest, Lu Zhiqiao shook her hand, and the bath towel lost its hold, spread out and fell off.
A deep purple dress with thin and narrow straps, embedded with black lace. The long "career line" is impressively exposed in the air, and little pink brown traces can be faintly seen under the lace.
Qi Yan took a light breath, her pupils suddenly shrank, and the nerves in her brain jumped up.
Her throat tightened, feeling a little dry and itchy.
The words that she had brewed in her heart to say were scattered by this sudden excitement and thrown to the back of her mind as much as possible, and another thought came up and could not be pressed.
Lu Zhiqiao froze for a few seconds, hurriedly picked up the bath towel and put it on, walked past her quickly with her head down, took the laptop and sat down at the table, with her back to her, and said, "Go to sleep, I still have an email to send…”
After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to cover her cheek, the temperature was astonishingly hot.
Looking at her shy back, Qi Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, feeling that she was more charming and flirtatious, so she walked over slowly, bent over and approached: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. It turns out that Boss Lu is so shy, huh?"
The heat hit her ears, Lu Zhiqiao shivered, pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Boss Lu?"
"Don't call me that."
"Then what should I call you?" Qi Yan became even more energetic, and moved closer, her mouth almost touching her ear.
Lu Zhiqiao tilted her head, with shame in her eyes, and said softly, "In front of you... there is no Boss Lu, only Qiao Qiao."
The breath in her ear suddenly became deep.
The air turned silent.
In the chest, in the throat, on the wrists, there are thumping everywhere.
A moment later, a gentle whisper came from behind: "Good night, Qiao~"
"..."
The night was dark and silent, and the waning moon gave off a dim light.
Gabonians don't seem to like nightlife. After dark, even in the city center, there are not many people on the street. The night here is extremely quiet, as if returning to the original state. Lying on the bed, it seems that elephant calls from the grassland can be heard.
Qi Yan couldn't fall asleep. She had a full sleep in the afternoon. Although her eyes were closed at the moment, she is very conscious.
She smells the familiar fragrance, and hears Lu Zhiqiao's typing on the keyboard. It was very soft and fast, with occasional pauses, and it disappeared after a while. Then there was deliberately light footsteps, rustling.
The lights were turned off and the surroundings plunged into darkness.
The mattress gently lifted, and the side sank a little, carrying a body warmth and fragrance.
Qi Yan became inexplicably excited, her arm was like a piece of iron attracted by a magnet, she couldn't help but want to poke to the side. She was afraid of scaring Lu Zhiqiao, so she didn't move for a long time.
Bedtime is good for talking.
There are some things that should be said.
After waiting for a while, Qi Yan quietly opened her eyes and turned her neck, unable to see anything in the dark.
"Qiao Qiao..."
She lay on her side, reaching out to hug Lu Zhiqiao.
"I'm sorry I let you suffer a lot alone, in fact, I'm not as brave as I thought I was, I'm not perfect at all, but I figured it out, we...Qiao Qiao?"
After rambling for a long time, no one responded.
Qi Yan moved closer, and was stunned when she heard Lu Zhiqiao's steady and deep breathing.
Fell asleep?

The next day, when Qi Yan woke up, Lu Zhiqiao was no longer in the room.
She hurriedly got up to wash, got dressed, and called Lu Zhiqiao. When she learned that the other party was in the company, she thought she had nothing to do, so she went there too.
Today was very busy. Lu Zhiqiao sat in the conference room all morning while Qi Yan waited outside, and she didn't even see her face.
By noon, people came out, but only for a bathroom break.
She couldn't even be given a look.
Fortunately, she's a familiar face from yesterday, and everyone thought she was from the head office, so there was no objection. Mr. Zhang's assistant, Xiao He, even came over to deliver coffee to her.
Judging by this situation, she's afraid they have to eat lunch inside.
Qi Yan drank her last sip of coffee and was thinking about it when she saw a manager-like person calling a small employee to order food from the cafeteria.
The little clerk was very attentive, running up and down in a hurry, and soon came up with a meal. He held more than ten boxed meals in two bags on his left hand, and the individual bag on his right hand was not visible, but it was obviously of better quality and even printed with patterns.
He was about to go into the meeting room when Qi Yan suddenly stood up and stopped him: "Wait a minute."
"???"
"What's in here?" Qi Yan asked, pointing to the bag with the pattern printed on it.
The clerk was taken aback, seeing her questioning manner, thought it was the leader of the head office, subconsciously said: "Home-cooked meal, prepared for Ms. Lu."
Tsk.
There are so many people in the conference room who all eat ordinary boxed lunches, but why do they need to prepare private dishes for Lu Zhiqiao so that she can eat better ones in front of everyone? Wouldn't this put her in a tight spot?
The young man was stunned, looking like a fresh graduate.
Qi Yan lowered her face, pointed to the private kitchen and said, "Take it back. Let Boss Lu eat the boxed lunch."
"Ah?" He was stunned, "What if Ms. Lu is not happy?"
Qi Yan sighed, ignored him, grabbed two bags of lunch boxes and entered the conference room.
All eyes focused on her.
Including Lu Zhiqiao.
"Ms. Lu, I'm sorry, the delivery of food in the cafeteria is a bit slow, and there are not many dishes. If you are not used to eating, I will order something else." Qi Yan smiled naturally, and took out a boxed lunch from the bag and put it in front of Lu Zhiqiao.
Lu Zhiqiao quickly reacted, with no waves in her eyes, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, everyone eats the same."
Qi Yan nodded, distributed lunch boxes to the others one by one, and then withdrew.
The young man was still standing at the door.
…
In the afternoon was the trade show prep work, Lu Zhiqiao and a group of managers went to the exhibition venue, Qi Yan also followed her as an assistant.
Busy until the sun went down, Lu Zhiqiao declined Mr. Zhang's dinner invitation, and went back to the apartment with Qi Yan.
As soon as she entered, Qi Yan threw the bag away, grabbed the water and drank it.
"I'm exhausted..."
After drinking half a bottle of water, she wiped her mouth with a paper towel, gasped for breath, and was suddenly hugged from behind.
"Qi Yan—"
The fragrant breath rushed to the ear, with a low and hoarse voice.
Qi Yan trembled, grabbed her hand, and hummed softly in a nasal voice.
"Answer a question for me."
"Ask away."
"Do you want..."
Lu Zhiqiao tightened her arms, buried her face on the back of her neck, closed her eyes, and murmured: "...to be our daughter's little mom?"

Qi Yan suddenly felt her heart melting, and smiled while hugging her phone.Waiting for you to come back cutecuteShe replied.gulugHer stomach growled.Qi Yan put down her phone, took out the lunch boxes one by one and opened them. Green beans, eggplant, boiled pork slices... turned out to be her favorite Chinese dishes, and they smelled delicious.There was also a lunch box with sliced pineapple chunks.She sat down to eat.The amount of each dish is not much, just enough for one person to eat, and the taste is no different from that of domestic restaurants, obviously it is made with care. Qi Yan was tired and hungry today so she devoured everything except the toppings, and then slowly tasted the fruit.After dinner, she called the car rental company and said that the car broke down at Tasang and did not come back. The staff wanted to deduct her deposit, she didn't care, she said a few words and hung up.Broken car. If it wasn't for her fear of being robbed, she would have rented a luxury car, with better quality, it would not have broken down halfway, leaving her in the wilderness and almost couldn't return. Qi Yan thought.But on second thought, if this had not happened, she would not have gone to the factory for help and would not have met Qiao Qiao.Some things have already been fatedThe sky was getting dark, and the streets were lit up with star lights.After finishing the pineapple, Qi Yan cleaned up the lunch box, packed it and threw it into the trash can, and walked back and forth in the house as to digest food. Then she brushed her teeth, climbed onto the bed, and buried herself in the blanket that smelled of Lu Zhiqiao.Time passed by every minute and every second.She is hoping for the woman to be back soon but also hopes that time will slow down a little.There are so many things she wants to say, but she doesn't know where and how to start. Does she want to express her love to Lu Zhiqiao directly? Then tell the other party:I have overcome my cowardice, I am happy to see you, I can accept everything about you, and I want to be with you forever.It was only half a month since the night of the show when she said she was 'afraid', and she has changed so quickly, perhaps Lu Zhiqiao wouldn't believe her at all? Instead, feel disappointed with her and see her as a 'scumbag'.Qi Yan's heart was in turmoil, she closed her eyes and desperately sniffed the pillow.She knew that Qiao Qiao cares about her.A small look in her eyes, an inadvertent movement, or a careless word may set off a violent hurricane in Lu Zhiqiao's heart. Just as she is worried about each other's reaction at the moment, they always cared so much about each other's feelings.Since someone always needs to speak up, why not let her speak up first.Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turned over, lay on her stomach, buried her face in the pillow, and curled the corners of her mouth.As the night gets darker, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, only the street lights are on, and the car speeds across the road, leaving behind the sound of friction with the air.There was a slight rattle at the door.Qi Yan was on her bed and browsing Weibo. Domestic netizens were discussing topics such as which celebrity had cheated and who had taken the red carpet. She looked up at the sound and saw Lu Zhiqiao come in, and their eyes met."I'm back." She put down her phone and smiled at her.Lu Zhiqiao looked a little tired, but she couldn't help smiling when she saw Qi Yan, her cold brows softened. She nodded, put her bag on the table, and asked while changing her slippers, "Have you had enough for dinner?""Here" Qi Yan pointed to the trash can, "The box was swept away."Lu Zhiqiao looked in the direction and smiled reassuringly, "It's good that you eat well." After saying this, she walked to her suitcase, opened it, and took out her nightgown and disposable underwear. "I'll take a shower first.""Mm."She took the clothes into the bathroom.There was a rustle inside, then a pattering sound of water.There was silence all around, and the sound of water droplets hitting the tiled floor was particularly abrupt. Qi Yan absently swiped her phone, the sound of dripping water seemed to be on her heart, and the beating frequency was messed up. She raised her head inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of an underwear shoulder strap leaking from the gap in the suitcase.Purple, a very "mature" color.She became more and more nervous.The bathroom was smoky, and Lu Zhiqiao stood under the shower. The warm water flowed from her shoulders along the spine, comforting and relieving fatigue. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let the water flood her cheeks.The past two days have been extremely eventful, today especially, the plan to visit the factory was unexpectedly interrupted, she had to move the later arrangements forward. She is so busy she could faint. When a person is extremely tired, the mind is inevitably irritable, coupled with the water and dirt, the red rash on her body is very itchy, all kinds of unpleasant things, she's almost relying on her strong will to suppress her emotions, just not to be angry with those few subordinates who are slow to respond.But as soon as she entered the door and saw Qi Yan, all her bad emotions disappeared, leaving only joy in her heart.The first half month passed like half a year, and the feeling of separation was like a knife, drawing countless bloody scars on her heart, even though it hurt, she could only bear it. Countless nights she dreamed of Qi Yan, either leaving her or coming towards her, causing her world to be turned upside down, waking up to unbearable loneliness.Yan Yan said that she hasn't given up, so she just waited, and she is willing to wait as long as she wanted.It is clear that they have never been together, but today that they met again, it is like they have lost and found each other.This time she won't lose her again.After taking a shower, Lu Zhiqiao put on her nightgownIt was a very short halter style that barely covered the buttocks. The big v-neck is inlaid with black lace, which makes the "career line" deeper and more charming. This was given to her by Jiang Yu last time. She saw that the style and texture were good, and it was suitable for her to wear alone. She took it with her for this trip, but she forgot that there was another person in the room.She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, blushing up to her ears, as if she was about to bleed.What to do?Only wearing this one, if Yan Yan sees it, she might think she is trying to seduce her.In case of stirring up a fire...After struggling for a while, Lu Zhiqiao took a bath towel and put it on, slowly dried her hair, walked out of the bathroom bravely, and glanced at the bedside with guilty eyes.There's no one there.She was stunned, and turned her gaze to the balcony. Qi Yan stood there looking out, her tall back, and two slender and straight legs were particularly eye-catching. She's also wearing a halter nightgown. The style is slightly conservative, but it looks more lustful than her.She stared blankly.The woman turned around suddenly, her eyes were caught off guard, and she was taken aback.Lu Zhiqiao hurriedly looked away, clutching the towel tightly.This morning, she walked a lot in high heels, and her calf was a little sore. She walked to the sofa and sat down, lowered her head, and stretched out her hand to pinch her calf. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qi Yan walking over, and with the wind blowing in her ears, she sat beside her.Qi Yan didn't speak, bent down and grabbed Lu Zhiqiao's ankle, placed it on her knee, rubbed and pressed it with her fingertips tentatively, with varying degrees of strength.Like the time in Songshan.At that time, Lu Zhiqiao wore thin pants, but they acted as a barrier, preventing Qi Yan from directly touching her skin, which relieved some sensitivity. But this time there was no cover, and the warmth of her fingertips was jumping in the pores making her heart pound.Qi Yan lowered her head, her expression was focused, and her movements were careful and meticulous, as if she was caring for a treasure of art.The shadow of the lamp enveloped her face, glamorous and enchanting.Lu Zhiqiao stared at her intently, her heart beating faster, and she couldn't even speak for a moment, "You...why were you in the factory area?""I went to take photos of baobab trees. The car broke down halfway. I saw a factory building nearby and wanted to ask for help." Qi Yan explained briefly without raising her head.This person has poor physical strength and prefers to wear high heels, which makes it difficult for her calves to bear. It seems that she needs to urge her to exercise well once they go back.Without her around, she won't even have anyone to massage her shoulders and legs.She can't live without her either."What kind of car?""Rented, Silver Xiali."Lu Zhiqiao's pupils shrank suddenly, the silver-gray car flashed in her mind, and she murmured: "So it's really you...""What?" Qi Yan looked up in surprise."The day I first arrived, I saw a series of silver cars on the road. I opened the window and felt that the person inside looked like you, but I wasn't sure." Lu Zhiqiao said in a low voice.At that time, she thought that she was suffering from longing, and when she saw that everyone looked like Qi Yan, she laughed at herself.Now that she thinks about it, it was because of fear.If Qi Yan's car hadn't broken down and hadn't gone to the factory to find someone, she would have missed her.This country is neither big nor small, and there are so many people, where will she go to find her?Fortunately, fortunately.Just after taking a bath, her cheeks looked slightly tipsy and flushed, like a pink and white peach blossom, her eyes were filled with water, and the black tear mole seemed to be dripping at any time, showing tenderness.Qi Yan stared at her face, distracted for a moment, her nose turned a little sore, but she quickly recovered, "Are you sure it was me now?""Mm.""I've been in the capital for two days. I originally planned to finish shooting the scenery today and go to the next country tomorrow. Who knew" Qi Yan shook her head helplessly, then lowered her head and continued to help her calf.Lu Zhiqiao blinked and held back her tears. She smiled and said, "If I didn't know you're traveling, I thought you were fleeing. You're wearing those fancy clothes... To be honest, I almost didn't recognize you."Ha ha ha ha.""Why did you make such a mess of yourself?""Do as the Romans do." The smile on Qi Yan's face froze, hiding a trace of awkwardness in her eyes, "I feel that Africa is more 'primal', mysterious, and the scenery is very beautiful. It is very suitable for outdoor adventures, especially when you see an elephant, rhinos, giraffes... all I take are landscape photos in my camera, and I can't get enough of them."She didn't mention the robbery.It's all over, there is no danger, she doesn't want to say it to make Qiao Qiao worry.She shrugged and smiled more easily."Now there are only the North and South Poles left that I haven't gone yet. The North Pole... I've been to Iceland before, so let's consider it as a visit. The South Pole can be arranged this winter.""You might as well go to Mars." Lu Zhiqiao said with a smile.Qi Yan raised her brows and nodded solemnly, "Sure, tie me up like a monkey in the sky."The two looked at each other and smiled.After continuing to press and pinch alternately for a while, the soreness in her calf gradually eased. Lu Zhiqiao leaned on Qi Yan's shoulder and yawned, feeling her eyelids a little heavy."Does it still hurt?" Qi Yan asked softly.She woke up suddenly, shook her head, put her legs down, "I'll make a call to Niu Niu." After speaking, she got up to get her mobile phone, and when she checked the time, it was ten o'clock, so she hurriedly said to Qi Yan, "Go to bed first."While walking, the lower corner of the bath towel dropped, revealing the black lace.Qi Yan's eyes dimmed, her throat moved unconsciously, and she raised her brows and smiled: "Shall we sleep in the same bed?"She glanced at the big bed.Lu Zhiqiao looked over and blushed immediately, a look of shame flashed in her eyes, and whispered, "It's not like we haven't slept together before.""Good."Qi Yan coughed twice, then pursed her lips and smiled.There are many mosquitoes in summer nights, and the mosquitoes in Africa are especially vicious. Once they bite a big bag, they will not disappear for several days. Lu Zhiqiao stood on the balcony and made a phone call. In less than a minute, she got three bites on her legs, and the itching spread rapidly.Her daughter was fine at home, so after asking a few questions, she hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Qi Yan leaning on the table and looking at her.Her twinkling brown eyes, like a whirlpool, dragged her into the deepest part.Her heart skipped a beat."Why...why haven't you slept yet?" She blushed and couldn't speak clearly.Qi Yan smiled softly: "Waiting for you."She felt an electric current flowing through her chest, Lu Zhiqiao shook her hand, and the bath towel lost its hold, spread out and fell off.A deep purple dress with thin and narrow straps, embedded with black lace.

It turns out that Boss Lu is so shy, huh?"The heat hit her ears, Lu Zhiqiao shivered, pursed her lips and remained silent."Boss Lu?""Don't call me that.""Then what should I call you?" Qi Yan became even more energetic, and moved closer, her mouth almost touching her ear.Lu Zhiqiao tilted her head, with shame in her eyes, and said softly, "In front of you... there is no Boss Lu, only Qiao Qiao."The breath in her ear suddenly became deep.The air turned silent.In the chest, in the throat, on the wrists, there are thumping everywhere.A moment later, a gentle whisper came from behind: "Good night, Qiao~""..."The night was dark and silent, and the waning moon gave off a dim light.Gabonians don't seem to like nightlife.
