Bai Wei came over in the evening, and when she saw Ruan Zhi watering the flowers in the yard, she said hello through the fence.

Ruan Zhi doesn't have a good impression of her, but she doesn't hate her much.

After all, she is a person who has nothing to do with her, and her character has little to do with her.

Out of politeness, Ruan Zhi responded with a smile.

Bai Wei didn't leave, paused for a moment and said, "Miss Ruan, Huaishen is going to H City tomorrow, do you know?"

Ruan Zhi held the hand of the sprinkler for a moment.

Bai Wei continued: "I'll go with him. We went to a medical event, and the people who went there were all medical elites from all over the country, as well as Huaishen's favorite professor. We're going to be there for about four or five days, didn't he tell you?"

Ruan Zhi is not stupid, and the temptation in Bai Wei's tone is so obvious, if she can't hear that it is deliberate, then it is really stupid.

Bai Wei is declaring war on her.

Ruan Zhi put down the sprinkler can, turned around, and walked to the fence.

The two women stood opposite each other across a fence.

Ruan Zhi looked thin and weak, but he was wearing flat shoes, but he was about the same height as Bai Wei in high heels.

In terms of momentum, it is definitely not lost to Bai Wei.

Because she knows that if she loses once, it will be difficult to win in the future.

Ruan Zhi's personality is not so strong, but in the matter of Xu Huaishen, she still has to declare sovereignty.

It's her man, and she can't be cowardly.

"He really didn't tell me. Ruan Zhi said, "When did you pass?"

Ruan Zhi's expression looked like Xu Huaishen's wife, asking Bai Wei if she wanted to go out with her man, did she have the permission of her real lady?

Bai Wei originally came to declare war, but she didn't expect that Ruan Zhi would not only fight head-on, but also declare sovereignty.

instantly made her position unstable, and it was a bit of a discord.

But she wasn't annoyed, and still smiled elegantly, "Tomorrow morning." ”

......

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Huaishen drove home.

The car drove from the parking road, and when the headlights flashed, it illuminated the yard door.

At the same time, it is impossible to ignore the figure squatting at the door of his house.

Xu Huaishen's heart shook slightly, and he parked the car directly at the gate of the yard, didn't turn off the engine, got out of the car directly, and walked over in three or two steps.

Ruan Zhi raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes were soaked with sleepiness, and he looked a little tired.

She squinted at the person squatting in front of her, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Huaishen." ”

The man's hand reached over, and she only felt a sinking on her shoulders, and the man's wide coat wrapped her entirely, and the warmth instantly rushed into her body.

Xu Huaishen's hand grasped her emaciated shoulder, "Why are you squatting here?"

Ruan Zhi rubbed his swollen eyes illuminated by the headlights and replied, "I made a supper, waiting for you to eat together." ”

Xu Huaishen said: "Then you don't have to squat here to wait for me." ”

Ruan Zhi blinked innocently, "I called you, your mobile phone was turned off, and you didn't reply to the message." ”

That soft voice, Xu Huaishen's heart was about to melt when he heard it.

The fingers gripping her shoulders tightened a little, and he helped her up from the ground, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. ”

Ruan Zhi said, "You go and park, I'll wait for you." ”

"Good. ”

Xu Huaishen parked the car, didn't even return to the door, turned back and took Ruan Zhi's hand, and went back to her house with her.

Entering the house, Ruan Zhi rushed into the kitchen, "I learned a new supper today, which is guaranteed to be delicious." ”

When the lid of the pot was lifted, a face suddenly darkened.

"My cake ......" smile faded from her face, and she held the lid of the pot in her left hand, staring at the pot, as if she was about to cry.

It's very pitiful.

Xu Huaishen walked over and glanced into the pot.

It was indeed a homemade cake, but obviously because the heat and time were not mastered well, it was already mushy and could not be seen. The edges were burnt, and I couldn't eat them.

Ruan Zhi was really about to cry, "I've been doing it for hours......"

I wanted him to eat a piece, but I didn't expect that I forgot to turn off the fire when I went out to wait for him.

When I came back, it was scorched.

She's a failure.

Ruan Zhi was depressed for a while.

A big hand fell above his head, and Xu Huaishen's gentle voice sounded in his ears: "It's okay, I'll do it." ”

Ruan Zhi: "But there are no materials......

"Then let's cook the noodles, I'll do it. ”

In order to prevent Ruan Zhi from continuing to stare at the scrapped cake, Xu Huaishen directly took the pot away.

Ruan Zhi was still wearing Xu Huaishen's coat, although it was a little heavy, she was reluctant to take it off.

Gathered together, sat on the side, and watched Xu Huaishen busy.

Under the light, he methodically filled the pot with water and took out noodles and vegetables from the refrigerator.

Wait for the water to boil and add the noodles along with the chopped vegetables.

After a while, the aroma of the noodles wafted out.

Xu Huaishen turned around and saw Ruan Zhi sitting there quietly, looking at him with his cheeks propped up.

"What's this expression?" Xu Huaishen asked, bringing over the two bowls of noodles that had been served.

Ruan Zhi sat up straight, picked up chopsticks in his right hand, and mixed the noodles in the mixing bowl.

A hot mist rose up, making her eyes a little wet and uncomfortable.

She wiped her eyes with her hand and said, "It's nothing." ”

In fact, she thought of what Bai Wei said, although she knew Bai Wei's purpose, she still couldn't be indifferent.

But she didn't want to take the initiative to ask Xu Huaishen.

She asked, and he took the initiative to say that it was two different things.

Ruan Zhi lowered his head and ate the noodles sullenly.

She ate quite slowly, Xu Huaishen was almost finished, and she only ate half of it.

Xu Huaishen looked at her funny, "Is it unpalatable?"

Ruan Zhi shook his head, "It's delicious." ”

"Then why is this expression?"

Ruan Zhi bit his lip, "It's nothing." ”

Continue to bow your head.

The opposite side was silent for two seconds, and Xu Huaishen's voice sounded again, "Ruan Zhi, I'm going to go to the field for two days tomorrow." ”

As soon as he said his words, Ruan Zhi, who was slowly snorting, raised his head, "Two days?"

Xu Huaishen smiled helplessly and corrected: "About four or five days." ”

"Is that four days, or five days?" Ruan Zhi didn't know why he was so entangled.

It's like, even if it's one more day, even if it's half a day, she's not happy.

The thought of being separated for so long made her feel uncomfortable.

Although this is actually quite hypocritical, she just can't restrain her emotions.

has such a deep dependence on Xu Huaishen, even she feels terrible.

She was already desperately suppressing, but she couldn't suppress it.

It's about to explode.

Facing her serious eyes, Xu Huai was silent and gave an affirmative answer, "Four days." ”

Although he couldn't clearly understand Ruan Zhi's inner thoughts, it was not difficult to see the clues from her demeanor, and joked with a smile: "Reluctant to me?"

Ruan Zhi lowered his head, his voice was quite muffled, and he replied without much confidence: "It's not ......"

Xu Huaishen said: "I will end it as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi nodded, but finally didn't ask him if he was going with Bai Wei.

Ruan Zhi knew very well that if she relied too much on Xu Huaishen, it would make him feel very tired.

After all, they are all adults, and she is not a child anymore, so there is no need to cling to him so much.

After eating the noodles, it was already half past nine.

Xu Huaishen put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, and when he looked back and saw Ruan Zhi sitting in the living room, his eyebrows jumped.

She was staring at the TV, but it was clear that she wasn't watching a TV series.

There seems to be something wrong with her tonight, she usually likes to talk and laugh, but tonight she is exceptionally quiet.

In addition, it is especially easy to get distracted.

Looking at her figure sitting there alone at this moment, Xu Huaishen fell into deep thought.

Bai Wei's message came: Huaishen, don't be late at seven o'clock tomorrow. I'm waiting for you at the airport.

Xu Huaishen replied: Okay.

As soon as the news was sent, Ruan Zhi's voice came, "What time are you on your plane tomorrow morning?"

Xu Huaishen: "Seven forty." ”

Ruan Zhi nodded, and asked again, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"Not yet. Xu Huaishen walked over, intending to sit down beside her.

I always feel that Ruan Zhi is particularly disappointed tonight.

He's going to fly early tomorrow morning, and he still wants to spend a little more time with her tonight.

But before he sat down, Ruan Zhi said: "It's not early, you go back and clean up, take a shower, sleep comfortably, don't delay tomorrow morning's flight." ”

Xu Huaishen paused slightly, but still sat down beside her, his fingers lightly touched her cheek, and said in a gentle voice: "Are you in such a hurry to drive me away?"

Ruan Zhi shook his head, "No need, it's better to ensure a perfect sleep on your plane early tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Huaishen looked at her for a while, then nodded helplessly, "Okay then." I went back. ”

"Uh-huh. Ruan Zhi pursed his lips and squeezed out a stiff smile.

If there was a mirror in front of her now, she would definitely be able to see that her expression at the moment was more ugly than crying.

All the reluctance, reluctance, and unwillingness are honestly hung on their faces.

But she thought that she had covered her emotions well, and kept urging Xu Huaishen to go back to rest.

Xu Huaishen was so urged by her to the door, changed his shoes, and reached out to pull the door.

As if remembering something again, he stopped and looked back at Ruan Zhi.

Ruan Zhi stood in the hallway, still holding a pillow in his hand, and the loss on his face dissipated the moment he turned around, replaced by a smile that spread all over his face.

She smiled and waved at him, "Good night." ”

"Good night. Xu Huaishen couldn't describe how he felt at this moment.

In his more than 30 years of life, he has never been so reluctant as he is now.

He knew that Ruan Zhi was forcing a smile, and he also knew her reluctance.

Thinking of separating tomorrow, Xu Huaishen also felt very uncomfortable.

Ruan Zhi walked up to the second floor and stood on the balcony, leaning on the railing and looking next door.

The lights next door were on, and the curtains were closed, so you couldn't see inside.

Ruan Zhi blew a cold breeze on the balcony and went back to sleep in a huff.

Tonight is destined for insomnia.

She sat at the head of the bed, took out a sleeping pill, looked at it quietly for a few seconds, and then stuffed it back into the bottle.

She didn't know how she fell asleep in the end.

I had a very sad dream.

In the dream, Xu Huaishen dragged the suitcase and said to her, "I'm leaving." ”

Bai Wei stood beside Xu Huaishen, stretched out her hand to hold Xu Huaishen's arm, and smiled, "Ruan Zhi, don't worry, I will take good care of Huaishen." ”

Ruan Zhi woke up from his dream, and it was not too bright outside.

She sat up, felt her face moist, raised her hand and touched it, and was a little shocked to find that she was crying.

The kind with tears all over his face.

Thinking of the dream just now, Ruan Zhi's heart was empty.

She rolled over and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

I vaguely heard the phone ringing, and when she finished wiping her face and went out, the phone was quiet again.

Only the breathing lamp was still flickering, reminding her that the voice was real, not her auditory hallucination.

Who would call her so early?

Ruan Zhi walked over, and just picked up the phone and took a look, the doorbell rang downstairs.

The call was made by Xu Huaishen.

Ruan Zhi glanced at the time, five o'clock had not yet arrived.

Did he get up so early?

Did you call to say goodbye to her?

Ruan Zhi took his mobile phone downstairs and looked at it in the cat's eye.

Standing at the door was also Xu Huaishen.

As soon as Ruan Zhi opened the door, the man outside the door suddenly became real and clear.

He wore a white shirt with a thick coat over it, and a silver suitcase at his feet.

I have been meticulously packed, and I feel like I am going to travel far.

It was not yet dawn outside, and it was quiet all around, and some cold breath came from the surface.

Ruan Zhi felt that his heart was blocked by something, and his eyes suddenly moistened.

It's really reluctant.

Since the death of his grandmother, Ruan Zhi has been left alone.

If you don't get too close to anyone, there is no so-called separation.

But Xu Huaishen just broke into her world and became a very important person for her.

Ruan Zhi's nose was sour for a while, and he stood so stupidly, looking at Xu Huaishen, but he couldn't say a word.

Xu Huaishen raised his hand, and the white breath coming out of his mouth could be seen clearly when he spoke, "Did you wake you up?"

Ruan Zhi shook his head, lowered his eyes, blinked vigorously, and held back his tears.

Before she could brew her emotions, she heard Xu Huaishen say, "I thought about it for a while, it's been too long to be separated for four days." ”

Ruan Zhi was silent.

The tears that were about to be held back seemed to be about to flow down again because of his words.

yes, four days.

Ninety-six hours, five thousand seven hundred and sixty minutes.

She is idle at home all day, how can she survive these more than 5,700 minutes?

Xu Huaishen's mellow and gentle voice continued to sound, "So, would you like to go with me?"

"......" Ruan Zhi was stunned for a moment, almost unable to understand his words.

After a few seconds of sluggish braining, she looked up, her eyes full of suspicion, "You just said...... What?"

Xu Huaishen raised his hand and looked at the time, "There are still two hours left, and I just checked, there are still ten tickets left." You're going to give me the decision now. ”

Ruan Zhi: "......"

Silly.

It's really stupid.

The reluctance and grievances that had accumulated in my heart all night evaporated in an instant. Instead, a joy and excitement slowly filled her entire chest.

She is like a dead tree in spring, and suddenly she comes back to life.

But the excitement was too much, which caused her to be stupid.

Xu Huaishen dragged the box in, and when he closed the door, he took her hand and said gently: "There are still eight tickets." ”

Only then did Ruan Zhi notice that he had been holding his mobile phone in his right hand, and the mobile phone screen was always on, which showed the ticket sales of a certain flight.

Xu Huaishen approached, and the crisp smell on her body surrounded her at once.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at Ruan Zhi who was already stupid with a smile on the corner of his lips, and reminded in a low voice: "You have to make a decision quickly, otherwise when the tickets are sold out, we will have to change the ticket." ”

Ruan Zhi blinked slowly, and asked uncertainly, "Is what you said true?"

Xu Huaishen laughed, "Of course it's true." ”

Ruan Zhi jumped up excitedly, "I'll go get the papers!"

After saying that, the person had already run away.

Xu Huaishen stood in the living room, looking at her back, his smile deepened.

Sure enough, his decision was extremely wise.

Ruan Zhi returned to the bedroom, took his ID card, and his hands were shaking.

It's all like a dream.

She was sad last night, and this morning a surprise came.

Xu Huaishen wanted to take her with him.

He's going to take her with him!

Ruan Zhi's heart was beating faster, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he was trotting when he walked.

Xu Huaishen had already sat down on the sofa, took Ruan Zhi's ID card and glanced at it, and then booked a ticket.

In less than two minutes, everything was ready.

Xu Huaishen looked up at Ruan Zhi, was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "You still have half an hour to clean up." ”

Ruan Zhi was obviously overjoyed, and when Xu Huaishen booked the ticket, she stood next to him and watched him stupidly.

After being reminded by him, Ruan Zhi was shocked to realize that he had not changed his clothes or washed yet.

On top of that, she hasn't packed her things yet.

"I'm going to clean up. Ruan Zhi reacted and quickly turned around.

Xu Huaishen stood up, "I'll help you." ”

Ruan Zhi's bedroom is quite large, and when she moved here, everything in it was ready-made.

She just checks in with her bag and doesn't have to worry about anything.

The wardrobe is too big, but she has very few clothes, almost a fifth of the wardrobe.

So, it seems empty.

Ruan Zhi dragged out the suitcase, called and put it next to the bed, and went to the wardrobe to pick out clothes.

After thinking about it, he turned around and asked Xu Huaishen: "Is it cold over there in H City?"

Because one is in the south and the other is in the north.

There is definitely a temperature gap.

But Ruan Zhi had never been to H City, so he couldn't be sure of the temperature there.

In addition, she doesn't have time to check on the Internet now, so asking Xu Huaishen has become the most direct method.

Xu Huaishen nodded, "You need to bring some thicker clothes, at least two thicker coats." ”

The temperature here in Liangcheng is mild, and even in winter, there is no need to wear too thick clothes.

But H City is northerly, and although it is not yet the depths of winter, it is definitely colder over there than here.

Ruan Zhi took out two coats from the closet, one black and one red elongated, and took a few slightly warmer ones.

Xu Huaishen said: "I'll deal with it, you go wash up." Leave when you're done. ”

Ruan Zhi looked at the clothes on the bed and nodded, "That's bothering you." ”

She brushed her teeth and washed in the bathroom, and Xu Huaishen was outside, helping her fold the clothes, shoes and socks she wanted to bring.

The room was warm, Ruan Zhi looked at himself in the mirror with a mouth full of foam, and couldn't help but be silly.

By the time she was done, it was almost 5:40.

Xu Huaishen came out with two suitcases, and Ruan Zhi carried a bag and easily followed him.

Lock the door, toss the keys in your bag, and head for his car.
