103 restraint

Ning Xi wondered if the air conditioner in the hotel was turned down too low, so that she shivered after hearing Li Ti's words.

She felt like she had been stabbed in her heart, and a little bit of fine and dense pain spread, and the coolness was even worse.

She looked at him and wanted to say no, we didn't get back together, but when she met his cold gaze, it felt like a lump of cotton was blocked in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.

Li Ti's gaze paused on her face for a few seconds, and without waiting for a negative answer, she finally withdrew her gaze in disappointment, and her eyes were covered with a layer of quenched indifference.

It's as if the person who had the mood swing just now wasn't him.

The one who asked them if it was useless to get back together was not him.

Ning Xi remembered that she had been hiding from Li Ti for a long time, and the doctor was stunned and didn't reply if the phone was not revealed, as if the world had evaporated.

She didn't take care of this sudden change in nature.

But Li Ti is different, he has thought very clearly and firmly about what he wants to do since he was a child, just like Ning Xi hid in Sanya. Don't answer his phone and don't reply to messages.

He messaged her on time and on time every day.

Even if he was talking to himself, he didn't get tired of sending it over, repeatedly confirming whether he had been blocked.

Ning Xi originally planned to solve Xu Dui and then talk to Li Ti, but he didn't expect that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes, and the huge Nancheng still didn't avoid this kind of bloody drama.

Li Ti couldn't wait for Ning Xi's answer, and he didn't plan to wait, so he was about to leave.

Xu Dui's eyes swirled around the two of them, and after careful consideration, he was really afraid that Ning Si would not talk casually, so he immediately opened his mouth to urge her, Ah, let's go. Don't keep them waiting too long.

Li Ti staggered his position expressionlessly and let the two of them enter the house.

Suddenly, the palm of his hand was hooked, and it fell into the palm of his hand like a feather, and he lowered his eyes to see Ning Xi scratching his palm with his index finger.

He looked directly at Ning Si in bewilderment.

Ning Xi said: Don't go, you wait for me.

Li Ti's eyes sank a little, pursed his lips tightly, and he didn't say whether to wait or not, just stood stupidly.

Ning Xi said again: I'll go in and say hello and come out.

Li Ti didn't say anything, as if to gauge what she was going to do next.

It just so happened that someone came running over from behind and said to Li Ti: Dr. Li, you are here. The dean is looking for you.

The person who came was Dr. Mao Dongmao, who should have drunk some wine and had a flushed face.

When he turned his head and saw Ning Xi, he was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand to say hello: Alas. My sister-in-law is too. Dr. Li, why don't you bring people in for dinner?

Little sister-in-law?

This title made the three people present stunned.

Li Ti didn't feel surprised, but he was a little embarrassed, after all, he intended to show off Ning Xi in front of his colleagues, but he didn't expect that he would be wrong, Ning Xi didn't have that mind at all.

Xu Du was different, he frowned, his eyes sank, and he just wanted to explain to Mao Dong, but was stopped by Ning Xi.

Ning Xi blinked and said, "I just arrived."

Mao Dongle smiled, didn't notice anything wrong with the atmosphere, and said familiarly: Then you hurry in, it just so happens that the colleagues in the department are all here today, and everyone wants to see the fairy who dragged Dr. Li down to earth.

Ning Xi smiled and responded: Okay.

Li Ti was upset now, and he didn't know what Ning Xi meant, so he pushed Mao Dong with a calm face, just talk a lot, go, go back.

Halfway through. Mao Dong suddenly remembered, I'm going to the toilet, why should I go back.

When he turned around, he just saw Xu Du reaching out and dragging Ning Xi to be lightly dodged by her, and he couldn't help frowning.

Glanced at Xu Twilight by the way.

This man is tall and handsome, and his appearance is on par with Dr. Li, but his face is full of gloom, and his dark eyes are condensed with a thick mist that cannot be dissolved.

It gives people a feeling that it is very fierce and difficult to get close to, but he looks at Ning Xi's eyes very strangely, and if he can't say it, he feels full of possessiveness and aggression that lovers should have, which makes people very uncomfortable.

When Xu Duan was about to enter the door, he probably felt that someone was looking at him, and suddenly turned his head, and his eyes met Mao Dong, with a cold and slight hostility.

Mao Dong turned his eyes away first and strode to the bathroom.

Ning Xi returned to the room, took the bag, and said to Xu Duan's parents: Auntie and uncle, I left in advance if I was in a hurry.

Li Ti saw that she was leaving, and she panicked, so she stopped her and said: Sit down for a while and then leave.

He added: I'll send you later.

Ning Xi glanced at Xu Du deeply, and reminded him with his eyes that what he had to do had been done, and the point was over.

Xu Dui was thinking about the scene of Ning Si hooking Li Ti's palm at this time, and he was irritable, and he didn't want Ning Xi to leave like this, so he said: Ah, don't go.

He didn't want to coax Li Ti.

Ning Xi's expression was cold and indifferent, and said unceremoniously, Xu Duan, you are delaying time.

Mother Xu felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: What time is the delay? Ah Dui, Ah Si has something to be busy, so you let her be busy first.

Ning Xi also looked at him bluntly, Xu Wei was afraid that he would be forced to pull out the fact that they had broken up in front of everyone, and he was reluctant to retreat to the side.

After Ning Xi bowed his head and said goodbye. Quickly open the door and walk out.

The hallway was empty.

She found the room where Li Ti and they were having dinner, took a deep breath and pushed the door open, the room was full of cups and plates, and everyone was gone.

The waiter came over with a food cart and asked curiously, "Did something fall behind?"

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, what about them?

The waiter said, "They checked out and walked for ten minutes."

A sense of loss welled up in her heart, she held on to the door for a while, and felt that her heart, which had finally warmed up, was cold inch by inch.

She didn't ask Li Ti to wait for her, why did she leave.

I walked for ten minutes, and I didn't send a WeChat.

Usually at this point, WeChat is here.

She thought he must be angry.

Ning Si withdrew his hand, fiddled with his phone, thanked him and walked downstairs.

She dialed Li Ti's phone, and the mechanical sound kept ringing, but the other party didn't answer.

Ning Xi dialed back several times, as if he deliberately didn't answer.

Ning Xi walked downstairs and looked around the parking lot, but he didn't find Li Ti and his group.

She squatted by the flower bed, lit a cigarette, and took advantage of the short break to sort out her relationship with Li Ti.

The more she thought about it, the more confused her brain became, and she didn't plan to think about it, but Li Ti's lost eyes lingered in her mind, like an invisible knife, against the tip of her heart, which could neither let go nor give her pleasure, and repeatedly tortured her.

Ning Xi grabbed her hair, dialed Li Ti's number again, and sounded a few times mechanically, reminding the other party that she was on the phone.

Ning Si knew that he had hung up the phone on his own initiative.

Ning Xi cursed a foul word in his heart, extinguished the cigarette butt, and didn't answer it.

She got into the car and raced all the way home, took a shower, put on a mask, and forced herself not to think about tonight, and couldn't help but glance at the mobile phone that was not moving.

As long as she thinks of Li Ti's eyes, she is in no mood to do anything.

She swiped through the circle of friends, anyway, no one who knew her and Li Ti updated the winter, and she specially clicked into her Li Ti's circle of friends.

His circle of friends is full of reposted hospital news, and there is almost no content of life, which is seriously inconsistent with his age.

She remembered that Mao Dong said that Li Ti does not eat fireworks in the world, just this old man's life style, this is not fireworks?

She complained again and again, and casually liked a piece of news he forwarded three months ago.

I felt uncomfortable after ordering. It's childish again, as if nothing happened.

She put her phone aside and began to wash her face, halfway through the wash, the mobile phone that had been quiet for half the night rang, she poured her face indiscriminately, and saw that it was Li Ti calling, and pressed her wet fingers.

There was muffled music on the other end, and there was a feeling of buzzing vocals. May I ask Ms. Ash?

Ning Xi furrowed her brows, yes, who are you?

The person on the other end said: I am at MINX Bar, Mr. Li is drunk at our place, can you please come and pick it up?

Ning Xi told the other party that she would come immediately, and she didn't care about touching up her makeup, so she grabbed her coat and rushed out.

When she arrived at the MINX bar, she saw Li Ti sitting on a bench in front of the bar from a distance. The benches were prepared for the summer, and when it was cold, no one sat there to pour the cold air.

Li Ti's wide down jacket opened casually, revealing the white shirt inside, looking thin and thin, he hung his head and chin buried in the half collar, I don't know if he was thinking or asleep.

A street lamp above his head emitted a dim light, evenly wrapped around him, and he sat obediently with his hands on the seat, and his shadow hung on the ground at his feet.

Isn't it cold?

The bar won't let him stay or something, and he came here to blow the cold wind.

Ning Xi stopped the car, regardless of whether he didn't stop or not, he slammed into the car door and ran towards Li Ti.

Running turned into walking, walked up to him with a stunned face, bent down to take a look, and he actually fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Ning Xi glanced at him, and saw that the backs of his hands were red from the cold, she subconsciously touched the bench, the tentacles were as cold as ice cubes, and Li Ti was still propping on them, so it was strange that his hands were not frozen.

She stretched out her hand and pushed Li Ti, and the other party suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head in a daze, and her eyes wandered to her.

His eyes were stunned for a few seconds.

Ning Xi didn't ask anything, squatted down in front of him, and pulled the bottom of the zipper to buckle it up. I pulled the zipper all the way to my chin and straightened my collar before I straightened up.

Li Ti glanced down at the tightly buttoned down jacket, blinked his eyes, and when he looked up at her again, the tails of his eyes were dyed with a thin layer of red, wet with a little grievance, as if he was frozen and smoked by wine.

Ning Xi was stunned by his eyes.

He dragged his voice and asked, "What are you here for?"

Ning Xi didn't say that the person from the bar called her to come, and I came to collect the lost property.

Li Ti nodded slowly.

Ning Xi asked: Come with me?

Li Ti shook his head. He looked at the void on the ground and fell silent for a moment, as if he had become a fool.

Ning Xi felt that the drunk Li Ti was very funny, and he didn't urge him to just sit down next to him, and his ass stood on the cold chair, shivering with cold, and he didn't know why he didn't feel cold.

The cold wind poured into the collar of his coat, and Ning Xi shivered a little from the cold.

Drunk?

Li Ti stared at the shadow and shook his head, why don't you answer my phone and don't reply to WeChat.

Ning Xi thought that he would ask about the reunion first, but he didn't expect him to keep his mouth shut, I said calm down.

Li Ti said: I don't need to be calm.

Ning Xi asked: Are you serious?

Li Ti suddenly turned his face to look at her, and there was a little complaint in his words, could it be that my physiological reaction to you is fake?

Ning Xi was dumbfounded by the question, and suddenly remembered the embarrassing situation after taking a nap that day, and felt that the roots of her ears were faintly hot.

That doesn't mean much. Ning Xi exhaled white vapor as he spoke, you know a lot of men......

I'm not like them. Before Ning Si's words were finished, he was eagerly interrupted by Li Ti. I don't have any such thoughts about other women.

I didn't have a woman around me for so many years. You know. He lifted his chin slightly, if you say it's an impulse, I don't think so, I've tried hard to restrain it.

You found out that day, but I couldn't restrain myself.

Ning Xi felt that his face was very hot, why didn't he blow a strong wind to cool down.

At this time, a group of people came out of the bar, made a fuss next to them, and after a while they said goodbye and dispersed.

A brief burst of excitement suddenly disrupted their conversation.

Ning Si sniffed and asked, "Don't you have anything else you want to ask me?"

She remembered owing Li Ti an explanation.

Li Ti shook his head.

He staggered to his feet. It seemed to be a violent start, and his body staggered a step, holding on to the telephone pole to steady.

Ning Si held him up and drank as much as he drank.

Li Ti closed his eyes and forced the drunkenness in his eyes away, he actually rarely drinks alcohol, he doesn't drink if he can, tonight is a department dinner, he replaced wine with tea, but he didn't expect to bump into Ning Xi and Xu Du together in the restaurant, he thought they were back together, and he panicked, so he came to the bar with Mao Dong.

Mao Dong was called away for something temporarily, so he was left to drink a few glasses of stuffy wine by himself, and several women came to talk to him halfway, wanting to do something with him, but he pushed him away.

He simply came outside and sat and waited, and the cold wind blew away half of the wine.

He raised his arm and gently pushed Ning Si away, and Ning Si's palm was empty. Subconsciously grabbed his fingertips and wrapped them around his cold fingertips.

Li Ti was stunned for a moment, and looked down at his clasped hands.

Ning Xi asked in a low voice: Why don't you ask me if I have gotten back together with Xu Dui?

Li Ti said in a calm voice: I don't really want to know.

Ning Xi knew that he was duplicitous, and he was unhappy and didn't admit it, so he explained: I didn't get back together with him, and I don't plan to get back together.

Li Ti's eyelids moved, and his eyelashes trembled.

Ning Xi felt that the string in her heart was plucked by her eyelashes and shook several times.

In the past, Li Ti helped her warm her hands, but this time she took Li Ti's hand and stuffed it into her pocket, and said in a very light tone: Li Ti said that I would accompany her mother to have a meal. He won't be pestering me anymore. I just came.

Finally, Li Ti, who had been silent for a long time, finally had a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

Is that really the case?

Ning Si squeezed his hand, I can't lie to you.

Li Ti's tightly locked brows finally loosened a little, Ning Si turned to face him, tugged at his collar, and Li Ti looked down at her inexplicably.

Ning Si tugged and made him lower his head, his fingertips caressing his brow, smoothing out the folds.

Don't be upset. Her fingertips are cold, as if there is a kind of stabilizing effect, can you give me a little time?

Li Ti asked: How long?

Ning Xi withdrew his hand, stared at the tip of his nose, and exhaled softly: It won't take long.

Li Ti opened his eyes, his eyes lit up, okay, don't make me wait too long.

Ning Si is funny, so what if I reject you?

Li Ti's tone was a little indulgent, then I'll chase it again, what else can I do.

Ning Xi also laughed.

She put Li Ti in the co-pilot, pulled the seat belt to tie him up, and just about to close the car door, he dragged him and fell on top of him.

He wrapped his hand around Ning Si and winked his eyes and said, "Ah Si, accompany me to the hospital tomorrow to remove the plaster."

Is your hand ready? Can you dismantle it?" She looked up at him.

Li Ti said: It's okay, if I don't dismantle this thing, I won't be able to hug you.

Ning Xi was speechless for his reason for removing the plaster, what are you doing now when you are not holding me?

Li tired of tensing the corners of his mouth, this is not enough.

Drunk people are always messing around, and Ning Xi only then knew that he was actually drunk, and couldn't help but worry about whether he would remember the bench conversation when he woke up tomorrow.

Fortunately, Li Ti was still well-behaved when she was drunk, and she fiddled with her at will.

Ning Xi struggled to get him to the door, and seeing that the combination lock was difficult, Ning Xi turned his head and asked him: Do you remember the password?

Li Ti drooped his head and muttered a sentence in his mouth, but Ning Xi didn't hear clearly, and asked him again.

He whispered, "072807."

Ning Xi's mind paused briefly, why 0728?

Li Ti replied obediently: Ace's birthday.

Ning Xi felt like someone had pinched her heart, and it was sour.

She quickly entered the password. Bringing Li Ti into the house, he habitually fell down on the sofa and began to pick up his clothes.

Ning Xi held down his clothes and coaxed softly: Go to bed.

Li Ti sat up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and said sullenly: I want to take a bath.

Ning Xi frowned and said: Let's wash it tomorrow.

Li Ti shook his head stubbornly, unbuttoned his shirt with his fingers, and continued to peel off one after peeling off.

Ning Xi couldn't cry or laugh, pressing his hand, you are so skilled with one hand.

Li Ti lifted his eyelids. Look at her with a smile: I have a flexible hand.

Ning Si: ...... When I didn't ask.

After making trouble for a long time, Li Ti said that he would not wash again, he was going to sleep, and then stood up leisurely and walked to the room with shuffling steps.

I almost hit the door frame halfway, and was blocked by Ning Xi several times before I fell safely on the bed.

Ning Xi took off his shoes for him and pulled the quilt over it.

As soon as he was about to leave, he hooked his palm. Looking at her with wet eyes, I wanted to drink water.

Okay, you wait. She shoved his hands back into the quilt and I'll pour you water.

Li Ti nodded, lay flat with his eyes open, and waited for a long time before Ning Xi came back, he lifted the quilt and stepped on the ground, opened the door and walked out.

In the kitchen, Ning Xi stood quietly in front of the water dispenser, as if in a daze.

The heat in the kettle was thick, and it looked blurry above and below the light, and the heat slowly rose, as if wrapped around Ning Xi's body.

He walked over slowly and hugged Ning Xi from behind.

Ning Xi was startled, held his hands and asked: Why did you get up?

He buried his head in her shoulder socket and rubbed his chin against the side of her neck, the slippery touch made him a little addicted, and the faint aroma in his hair seemed to catalyze something.

I want to see you.

The atmosphere became a little ambiguous, and the heat flushed his cheeks.

Ning Xi shrank her neck uncomfortably, and changed the topic: The water is boiled.

He muffled in response, not intending to let her go.

Ning Xi was restrained by him, poured hot water into the cup, twisted another bottle of cold water and mixed it into warm water before handing it to him.

Li Ti put the water cup back on the stove and put it to her ear to breathe hot, Ah, I can't restrain it anymore.
