Chapter 42 No One is Missing

"Sister Zhixia, come on for the exam! Let's celebrate together when the results come down!" Liu Piaopiao took Yao Zhixia's arm and walked out.

"Lend you auspicious words! The results are down, please have a big meal!" Yao Zhixia happily patted Liu Piaopiao's back.

The two walked towards the subway station hand in hand, and a car suddenly stopped on the side of the road beside them, and Yao Zhixia felt a little familiar.

The window of the car was rolled down, and the people inside beckoned to Yao Zhixia.

"Yao Zhixia, get in the car, I'll send you there!"

Liu Piaopiao recognized at a glance that this person was Xue Rin, who had robbed Sister Zhixia with her before, she couldn't help but pout, and said to Yao Zhixia helplessly: "Sister Zhixia, go quickly! Today is an important day, don't squeeze the subway with me, the exam is important!"

"Piao Piao, then I'll go first, I'll give you news after the exam! Be careful yourself!" Yao Zhixia pinched Liu Piaopiao's pink face with both hands.

"This is sensible! Liu Piaopiao child!" Xue Rin leaned his arm against the car window and nodded proudly at Liu Piaopiao.

"Don't be complacent! You have to make sure it arrives on time! If you're late, be careful that I'll kill you!" Liu Piaopiao warned with his hands on his hips.

"You worry about yourself first! I don't know if Gong Yan has fallen into evil!"

After Xue Rin finished speaking, he immediately closed the car window, and after confirming that Yao Zhixia's seat belt was fastened, he accelerated away.

Liu Piaopiao, who stayed in place, muttered to herself in wonder: "What does it matter to him? ”

After thinking for a moment, she shook her senses and glanced at her phone.

"Oh no, I'm going to be late!"

----

"How do you know I'm out at this time?"

Yao Zhixia sometimes really suspected that Xue Rin had installed a monitor on her, how could she meet him wherever she went, impartially.

"I don't know when you're going out! I just happened to go out on errands, and I saw the figures of the two girls on the side of the road quite familiar, I wanted to have a conversation, but I didn't expect it to be you two, so let's be a good person." ”

Who knew that he checked the time and place of the exam on the Internet, and guessed the approximate time when Yao Zhixia would go out according to the time needed to take the subway, and he was watching at home, and as soon as he saw the two people going out, he immediately drove to catch up.

"Thank you! I have a lot of confidence in myself now. Yao Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief and tapped her bag with her fingers relaxedly.

"You have to believe that God rewards hard work, you have a good foundation, and you refuse to give up, God will give you a satisfactory answer. ”

When she was on the island, she learned about Yao Zhixia's experience, Xue Rin felt that Yao Zhixia had too many regrets in the first half of her life, if she hadn't experienced those things that even adults couldn't bear when she was a teenager, she would definitely be an excellent college graduate now, with a career she wanted to engage in, maybe she would have been happily married.

However, Xue Rin thought about it, if this was the case, wouldn't he have a chance to meet her?

Thinking about it, Xue Rin couldn't help but snort lightly, and his mood became happy again.

Yao Zhixia didn't notice Xue Rin's expression, and only looked forward to the future.

Everything in life is like several tracks, turning at the same moment, a dream that has been broken for more than ten years and is now regained, a person who can be secretly liked in the bottom of her heart, if there is anything else in this world that is worthy of her envy, it must be herself.

Successfully arrived at the destination, Xue Rin turned sideways, and while untying Yao Zhixia's seat belt, he nagged like the candidate's parents: "I have something to do, I want to leave for a while, even if you finish answering the questions early, don't leave in advance, check well, remember to wait for me here." ”

"You still want to pick me up? You really don't have to be so troublesome! You can do your business with peace of mind!" Xue Rin can send himself, Yao Zhixia already feels a little uncomfortable.

"Don't bargain! Hurry up! If you don't leave, you'll be late! Look at that person!

Xue Rin didn't bother to pay attention to her, got out of the car and walked Yao Zhixia forward for a few steps, until the other passing candidates cast strange glances, he let go of the hand that was holding her shoulder, and waved at her with an aunt-like smile.

Yao Zhixia looked at Xue Rin with a smile and waved his hand vigorously at him.

Good may be late, but, never absent.

----

When Yao Zhixia walked out of the examination room, the sky had become gloomy, and the heavy rain at the end of summer was pouring down without warning.

The car honked continuously on the road, and the candidates walked out of the examination room in an endless stream, Yao Zhixia tried her best to widen her eyes, trying to find Xue Rin's car in the various private cars parked in front of the door.

was searching, Yao Zhixia was suddenly slapped from behind, and she turned around happily.

"Xue ......"

But the man who came was a strange man, who seemed to have been exposed to the wind and the sun a lot, and his skin was a little dark.

"Girl, do you want to take a taxi?"

Yao Zhixia took a step back cautiously, widening the distance between him, she looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a somewhat dilapidated private car parked on the side of the road, with varying degrees of scratching around the body.

"No thanks. ”

Yao Zhixia knew that it was a black car at a glance, so he respectfully refused.

"It's raining heavily now, and it's the rush hour after work, you definitely can't get a car, take my car at a fixed price, 100 will be delivered to your home. The man saw that Yao Zhixia was alone and couldn't get a taxi, so he became entangled.

"I really don't need to, I have someone to pick it up, thank you!" Yao Zhixia took another step back, she had always been very wary of strange men.

"100 is not expensive this day! How heavy is this rain! Come on, come on! Take my car without carpooling!"

The man wanted to stretch out his hand as he spoke, but before his hand touched Yao Zhixia, he was startled by the sudden barking of a dog, and hurriedly shrank to dodge.

"Woohoo!"

Yao Zhixia fixed his eyes and saw that the big dog that was barking at the black car driver looked almost exactly the same as Pengpeng.

"If you don't sit, you won't sit! Get out of here!" The driver of the black car was startled by the dog, and he walked away very dissatisfied.

Yao Zhixia stared blankly at the big wet dog, although he felt that it was impossible, he couldn't help but shout to the dog excitedly: "Pengpeng! is that you?"

When the big dog heard this, he immediately stood up and pounced on Yao Zhixia, and Yao Zhixia saw its reaction and immediately confirmed that this was Pengpeng!

But just when this man and a dog were about to hug each other, a big hand suddenly grabbed the head of Peng Peng, who was desperately poking forward.

"It's dirty! Get me down!"

Xue Rin forcefully pressed down the puff that stood up close to a person's height.

"Xue Rin!

As soon as he saw Xue Rin, Yao Zhixia instantly relaxed, not as tense as before.

"I'm sorry! I didn't expect it to rain heavily, and there was a bit of a traffic jam on the way back! That man didn't do anything excessive!"

Just now in the distance, Xue Rin saw Yao Zhixia who was entangled by the black car driver, afraid that she would be bullied, he immediately loosened the dog leash and sent Peng Peng to the hero to save the beauty, but he didn't expect this mud ball to have a lot of thoughts.

"It's okay, it's okay, he didn't do anything, I just came out, let's go!"

Yao Zhixia touched her fluffy head, bent down to pick up the leash from the ground, and when she got up, Xue Rin had silently wrapped her coat around her, and naturally took her hand and walked through the crowd towards the parking lot.

Walking to the front of the car, Xue Rin opened the passenger door, pulled the dog leash in Yao Zhixia's hand, and asked her to sit in first, Yao Zhixia took off Xue Rin's coat, sat in the car, shook the coat outward, shook the rain and smoothed it out, and then put it on his lap.

Yao Zhixia was carefully wiping his coat with a tissue, and a series of anxious cat meows suddenly sounded behind him.

She turned around in shock to see the cat cage in the back seat swaying, and the kitten inside was clutching the cage with its paws, meowing with its little fangs.

"Ding Man, you're here too!" Yao Zhixia shouted in surprise.

The door of the back seat was opened at this time, and Peng Peng jumped into the back seat, and then stretched out his head in the front seat, Yao Zhixia reached out and touched its fluff, and Peng Peng happily licked her hand back, and his tail slapped back and forth on the cat cage.

"Go back and sit down!Don't mess around here!" Xue Rin got into the car and pushed his fluffy head back impatiently.

Don't disturb Xue Rin driving. ”

Yao Zhixia gently comforted Peng Peng, and Peng Peng obediently sat back in the back seat, staring at Yao Zhixia excitedly with two watery black eyes.

"My back seat is a scrap. Xue Rin glanced in the rearview mirror, then turned the key and set off in the direction of home.

----

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, lightning and thunder from time to time, and the traffic was driving extremely slowly in the heavy rain, but Xue Rin, who had always been anxious, seemed very relaxed at this time.

As soon as the red light came on, he relaxed, pulled his coat from Yao Zhixia's hand, carefully put it on her lap, turned on the warm air in the car, and covered the air outlet with his hand to feel the temperature.

Yao Zhixia saw Xue Rin's intentions, and secretly looked at him with some embarrassment, and found that his hair was all wet, so he wanted to reach out to wipe it, but as soon as his hand stretched out, he stopped halfway.

"Your hair is still wet...... Yao Zhixia gestured to him with his eyes.

But Xue Rin didn't mean to wipe it with a tissue by himself, but tilted his head directly towards Yao Zhixia.

"I have to watch the lights. ”

Yao Zhixia was stunned, but this reason was sufficient, she had to reach out and gently stroke his hair, carefully wiping it layer by layer.

Yao Zhixia faintly smelled that familiar smell again, it was a fresh smell, mixed with the humidity of the heavy rain today, like a towering tree that was full of vitality after the rain.

Pengpeng, who was in the back seat, saw Yao Zhixia fiddling with Xue Rin's hair, thinking that he had missed something good, so he stretched out his head and sniffed violently, and from time to time he stretched out his tongue and licked it.

"Puffy, your saliva! What are you making a fuss about! Get out of here!"

Xue Rin, who was still immersed in the warm atmosphere one moment, pushed the curious Peng up to the back seat in embarrassment the next moment.

Yao Zhixia on the side couldn't help but snicker, Xue Rin, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, was afraid of the fluffy puff who was not afraid of the sky and the earth like him, this world is really one thing and one thing.

The red light turned green, Xue Rin grabbed his hair back, and continued to concentrate on driving.

"How did the two of them get back? No matter how I begged the search and rescue team before, they didn't pay attention to me. Yao Zhixia was extremely surprised, but did not forget to ask what happened.

"Money makes the devil grind. Xue Rin replied casually.

Yao Zhixia nodded, "When did you bring them back?"

Peng Peng is obviously fatter than before, and his coat color has become smooth and supple, and at first glance he is only a pampered rich dog, not to mention Ding Man, who has grown up a lot, and he is no longer the dirty little guy.

"I just picked them up as soon as I got home, it's really expensive to raise these two guys, and it's bathing and beauty, but after all, this is my Xue Rin's cat and dog, and you can't be embarrassed to take them out. ”

Since there are these two guys at home, every time he goes out, Xue Rin always can't help but think about them in his heart, and he also falls in love with the feeling that someone at home is waiting for him and looking forward to going home.

In the past, he always felt that he was at ease when he went out to wander without worry, but now he was willing to bear this unstoppable burden, and he often wondered if he was cursed, otherwise why would he be so willing?

"Are you going to take them over today?"

Yao Zhixia speculated, feeling a little excited, if this was the case, she would be able to see the two of them often, and when Xue Rin was busy, she could also help take care of them.

"Well, Aunt Qi said that they want to think about it, and I can't be so ruthless. Xue Rin stretched out his hand again to feel the temperature of the warm air, and then continued to drive steadily.

"Aunt Qi?" Yao Zhixia heard Xue Rin mention this name for the first time.

"Well, I forgot to tell you, my dad's current wife. Xue Rin's tone was natural.

As soon as Yao Zhixia heard this, she immediately lowered her head guiltily, she still remembered the jealousy on Xue Rin's face when she mentioned her before, and it was really inappropriate to ask without consideration just now.

The person next to him didn't move for a long time, and Xue Rin quickly realized that this cautious woman must be blaming herself for saying something she shouldn't have said.

"Aunt Qi and I are fine, for so many years, she has done her best for this family, for my father, for me, for the group, in fact, I think about it carefully now, this is really not every woman can do it, this is also a blessing for me and my father, and, recently, it seems that she is a hidden woman, which I sincerely admire. ”

Even Xue Rin himself never thought that now he could look at this stepmother so calmly, especially the recent events, which made him have to look at this person again, although Qi Hang did not say it explicitly, but Xue Rin could be sure that she must have been aware of the relationship between him and Yao Zhixia, and secretly voted in favor.

"Xue Rin, I'm really proud of you, although I don't know you well enough, but I really feel that you are living happily now. ”

Hearing Xue Rin's words, Yao Zhixia felt like she had been relieved of everything in her past, and she felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.

"You don't know me well enough, if you don't know me well enough, I'm afraid I'll die alone!"

Xue Rin has always known Yao Zhixia's personality, she always feels that she is not worthy of beautiful things, and always feels that she is useless to others, but only he knows that she deserves the most beautiful things in the world, and she is more qualified than anyone else to point to his nose and say, "You have to be good to me!"

It's just that she doesn't know all this.

"Bah, bah, how can you die alone! You are so good, there will always be a good girl who will have a ...... with you There is a home. ”

Yao Zhixia immediately straightened up and refuted him, but Lin Qingyu's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.

Her expression couldn't help but become lonely, the word "home" was too enviable and unattainable for her.

"Home? What girl dares to start a family with me so blindly? Don't you know, today's girls have high requirements! I'm like this, I'm afraid no one wants it!" Xue Rin joked with a smile, but he actually wanted to explore Yao Zhixia's bottom.

"Whoever says you don't want it, I'll ...... it."

"What about you?" Xue Rin's tone suddenly became serious.

"I'll just ...... I think you're a good person. Yao Zhixia lowered her voice and responded timidly.

When Xue Rin heard this, he didn't continue, Yao Zhixia panicked, and regretted his impulse just now.

The rain had stopped, the streets were washed anew, the neon lights on both sides of the streets were reflected in the puddles on the roads, and the cars drove smoothly into the familiar alleys, and the men and women with their own ghosts had not yet noticed, and the two restless hearts were already pounding with the same frequency.
