After a busy morning, in the lounge of the Ellensburg factory, Li Haojun lay down on the sofa to take a rest. In early spring, the sunny mountain slopes have already begun to melt the traces of ice and snow, and the sunlight is also warmer than before, so some of the bugs hiding indoors for the winter have begun to be active, and a ladybug is climbing up and down on the glass window of the lounge.

  Watching its futile attempts, Li Haojun wondered if he should let it out, the temperature outside was still below zero, and the low temperature would incapacitate him, and there was no food outside. It seemed that some ladybugs would wake up earlier, just as some seeds would germinate earlier, but at the cost of risking more cold. Such a gamble obviously pays off as well, or else this trait of theirs might be eliminated in generations of heredity, it's just a matter of whether it's dead or alive for the individual, and they'll have to buy it all on their own.

  For such individuals that don't fit into the mainstream, do their numbers fit into the two ends of a normal distribution? Minority. Like Keyshia who went to Seattle in the morning, she too is a minority, is it just a simple cause and effect of lacking family warmth as a child and wanting a father's love when she didn't choose her own peers of the opposite sex, but chose herself instead. And she knew she had a mate and wasn't jealous, it would be suitable to adopt as a daughter, that way they could live together, just like Christmas, I just wondered if she would want more in the future. Thinking about Christmas, he accidentally made Qin Wenjing cry, if there were more females, would it cause more chaos? Not optimistic, thinking of this Li Haojun himself laughed, or don't dream of spring and autumn, put away your flood of love, a Qin Wentian have tied themselves to the next life.

  Early spring sunshine through the glass window in the corner of the sofa, Li Haojun turned his face to the direction of the sun, closed his eyes to face the sun, the sun seems to light up the eyelids, a bright, and then became dark and turned red. Was it the temperature of the sun that made the capillaries dilate? Or was it the intense light just now that constricted the pupils, just as I was thinking about it, footsteps came from downstairs, it was Kesia coming back from Seattle, with her assistance, I could indeed save myself a lot of effort.

  “Ethan, I'm back,” Keshia said as she leaned over the doorway and poked her head out, it looked like she'd found her way here by following each room.

  “Have you had lunch yet? Take a look at the food we have stockpiled and heat up whichever you like for yourself. I've already finished eating,” Li Haojun lay there, lazily not wanting to move, and

  “Good,”, young is so good, her voice are full of lightness and vigor, said, energetic footsteps ran to the conference room and pulled the chair over, put it next to the sofa where Li Haojun was lying down, then took the self-heating food, put it on the chair, and sat himself on the sofa next to Li Haojun, also smiling, mischievously squeezed with his buttocks.

  Li Haojun had to turn sideways to face her, to give her some place to sit, and then silently watched what program she had next.

  “I've already taught the dubious store clerk in Seattle, I don't know if I'll break the system again in the future, their quarterly orders have already been passed over,” she finished leaning back towards Li Haojun, looking at the wall in front of her and complaining.

  “Running over in the morning, fixing the system, having to teach them again, and then returning back, busy me,” finished and looked back at Li Haojun, his right hand slowly groping on the sofa, a little closer, pulling it to Li Haojun's fingertips, and asked.

  “How am I doing?”

  “Well done,” Li Haojun also smiled, holding her fingertips and said.

  “Thank you for sharing so much of my burden,”

  Kasia raised her head proudly, and her short, fluffy hair bobbed rhythmically, as if she wanted to emphasize the necklace of pearls that clung to her skin, and the lack of a turtleneck blouse in winter.

  Li Haojun noticed, worried about her respiratory tract getting cold, so he took out his own terminal device to board the neighboring shopping mall online shopping, found the ladies' scarf item, and handed it to Kesia.

  “You choose two scarves for yourself, the weather is still cold now, don't catch a cold,”

  Keyshia froze for a moment and didn't take it.

  “Order now when you're done and have them delivered here,”

  Kesia still didn't pick it up after she reacted, but with a smile on her face, she directly lay in Li Haojun's arms, before she took his device by hand, and then browsed a bit absentmindedly, and turned back to look at Li Haojun for a while, asking how this one is and how that one is.

  Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

  I don't know what this relationship will develop into, but the youthful vigor of Cathia, the breath of a young girl, so that Li Haojun can't hold down the love and protection, he couldn't help but put his arm around her waist and crotch.

  Selected a good scarf to place an order, a quick lunch is also hot almost, Li Haojun patted Kesia's back waist and said.

  “Go eat,”

  The angle of the winter sun was still low and shone into the whole house, after eating for a while Kesia felt hot, she glanced at Li Haojun, while raising her hand to wipe the fine sweaty sweat coming out from her forehead, she took off her coat and put it on the backrest of the sofa.

  After taking a few more bites, she twisted her head and looked at Li Haojun with a smile again, not saying anything, but her hot, reddened cheeks could no longer be hidden, and

  “Hot as you like, no one else will come anyway,” Li Haojun said softly as he looked at her with a smile.

  As if she had received permission, Kesia turned around and gently took off her warm outer pants and put them to the side, then lowered her head and silently ate her lunch, her sagging hair covering her flushed cheeks.

  Kesia, who had removed her outerwear, had a beautiful figure, and through the golden sunlight shining on her, it seemed that the steam generated by the vaporization of her sweat could be seen emanating on the surface of her body through the cotton undergarment that she was wearing, and what she was equally unaware of was the vibrant scent of her, which was simultaneously stirring the pool of Li Haojun's heart through both the sense of sight and the sense of smell.

  In this splendid and sweet time, Li Haojun closed his eyes, enjoying every second of this warmth and happiness, until Keyshia finished her lunch, closed her eyes and listened to her as she went to throw away the garbage, pulled away the chair, and then came back to sit back on the sofa after a while.

  Li Haojun opened his eyes and saw that she had already taken the coveralls from the locker room and put them over the outside and put them on, although they were a bit loose and fat, but a little girl wearing it works well, looking petite and cute, making people full of protective desire, and

  “Do you need to rest for a while?”

  “No need.”

  Li Haojun couldn't help but feel that it's good to be young and always so energetic, so he took Kesia to the control room and checked the orders that came in from Seattle and other places. Then he took her to familiarize herself with the software and hardware operating systems of the control operating platform, and then he stated the content of the work he did in the morning with her, so that she could be more familiar with it when she undertook the work alone in the future.

  Soon the afternoon is about to pass, the sun is already in the west, still need to go to George's factory, but today's time is already too late, Li Haojun looked at Kesia, want to say to arrange a hotel for her, but afraid that it is not safe for her to live in the hotel alone, he accompanied her to live in the hotel, the hotel is his own initiative to book, but also can't be justified, this is not a military restricted area has no choice. Now there is only one option left, take her home, who to ask first? First ask Kesia, she agreed, if Qin Wenting does not agree, after all, the practice has begun, it may become the norm, after all, different from the occasional holiday party.

  So Li Haojun silently sent a message to Qin Wenting, explaining the situation. Cathia received the purchased silk scarf from outside and returned wearing it, standing in front of Li Haojun.

  “Well?” Saying this, she slowly turned around again and

  She bought a black silk scarf, with a white blouse and short bobbed hair was also contrasting. Just this is a thin silk scarf, tied in the neck between the decorative role of more than warm function is insufficient, can not cover her neckline, but the contrast highlights the skin's snow white. Look closely at this silk scarf is not pure black, in different angles of reflected light will flash under the gradient of dark green to ochre brown.

  Li Haojun did not respond, pulling her silk scarf, trying to cover the neckline, just could not do. Kesia looked down, then back up at Li Haojun and understood what he meant, not saying anything just grinning mischievously.

  “There's not enough time today, I have to go to George's land factory tomorrow,” Said Li Haojun with a seemingly embarrassed smile, then said.

  “That was originally the factory that Emily was in charge of, it was just by the way, usually I help her with it,” while saying that, Li Haojun looked at Kesia's expression while saying.

  “But there's not enough time today, I can only go there tomorrow, what do you plan?” Without giving Cathia time to answer, Li Haojun continued.

  “You can fly back to Boise, I can handle George's matter myself, after all, you're just my assistant, George's factory doesn't belong to me to manage,” After saying this, Li Haojun looked at Keyshia silently.

  Keyshia didn't say anything either, but kept listening to Li Haojun and looked at him with a smile, after a while she said.

  “You miss me, don't you?”

  Li Haojun didn't expect her to ask herself this rhetorically, and couldn't help but examine himself as well, regarding this question. One missed her, didn't one? It just felt like the time with her was happy, so he answered honestly that

  “I guess,” finishing with an awkward smile, feeling that he shouldn't have been so greedy in the first place.

  “Ethan, do you remember when I said that I could feel what you were thinking,” finishing with a dazed look into Li Haojun's eyes,

  “Are young people like this nowadays?” Li Haojun was a bit surprised and curious.

  “Not really, maybe it's more likely between people who care.”

  Ah, Li Haojun sighed inwardly, didn't say anything, gently opened his arms and gave Cathia a hug.

  The west slanting sunlight has lost its temperature, even the only light is about to hide behind the mountains, pulling out long shadows on the road, urging people who are leaving home to return.
