On a summer day hot enough to bake eggs, the sun is like a tireless cook, and the earth is like a pie on the oven, baked to the outside and tender on the inside. I, a small clerk who was busy like a little bee in the company, suddenly received the task of "the Queen" - to accompany her on a business trip and deal with some urgent matters.
"The Queen" is our company's sales director, named Li Ting, a career maniac, who works harder than anyone else, but in private he is actually a very interesting person.
Our destination is a picturesque seaside city, but the summer heat is unbearable. After a busy day, we decided to find a place to relax in the evening, so we chose a bar with a nice atmosphere.
The lights in the bar are like flirting masters, **like the background of love**, and we sit in front of the bar and enjoy a rare leisure time. After a few glasses of wine, we started chatting. Li Ting shared her experience in the workplace, and I also talked about my own experience and feelings unabashedly. Alcohol is like a miracle catalyst that brings our hearts and minds closer.
As the night darkened, the lights in the bar dimmed. Li Ting suggested going for a walk outside, saying that this would sober us up. So, we walked out of the bar and strolled through the night.
The breeze blew and took away the tiredness of the day, but also took away our restraint. On this quiet night, our hands inadvertently touched each other, and at that moment, our eyes revealed an inexplicable emotion.
Perhaps because of the effects of alcohol, or perhaps because of the resonance of the heart, the distance between us is getting closer and closer. In that moment, we all seem to forget the shackles of identity and responsibility, and let emotions flow freely. And so, on that hot summer night, we had an intoxicating and brief relationship.
When we woke up the next day, we tacitly didn't talk about last night. Li Ting told me: "Last night was just an accident, don't think about it. In her firm and calm expression, I saw an indescribable sadness.
We ended our business trip and went back to our respective lives. When we returned to the company, we maintained our old relationship, but that experience became a secret in our hearts forever.
