The night was dark, but there was nothing to go about. Gong Mengshu ran for a long time in the dark night, and finally stopped. She stood panting in the night, looking dazed. Cheng Ruikai didn't chase after her, she relaxed a little.

But the ghostly bicycle bell sounded behind him, startling the depressed Gong Mengshu. The night was too dark and the fog was so thick that she couldn't see who was coming, so she had to stand on the side of the road, anxiously waiting for the people behind her to pass first.

But the man stopped in front of her on a bicycle, and "Mengshu ......" turned out to be Huang Qilun!

Gong Mengshu asked him in surprise, "You, why haven't you left yet?"

"I see that the door of the Cheng family is locked, you can't get in, I don't feel at ease if you are a weak woman, so ......" Huang Qilun scratched his head and answered Gong Mengshu's question with some embarrassment.

I'm afraid it's been two hours since he sent her back to Cheng's house, so he has been waiting for her in the dark all the time Gong Mengshu's heart was shocked, and his nose was slightly sour.

"Did the Cheng family scold you? Why did you run out again?" Huang Qilun asked Gong Mengshu with concern.

Gong Mengshu didn't answer, Huang Qilun still wanted to explore the reason for the matter, but he couldn't see the expression on Gong Mengshu's face clearly in the fog, and after a while, he heard Gong Mengshu saying to him: "Huang, classmate Huang, can you help me send it back to my parents' house now?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Huang Qilun replied flatteredly: "You get in the car quickly, I will send you back immediately!"

Gong Mengshu got into the car, Huang Qilun asked the address, and began to pedal the bicycle hard. Maybe he saw that Gong Mengshu was in a bad mood, Huang Qilun tried his best to tell Gong Mengshu along the way, and tried his best to comfort Gong Mengshu.

The self-esteem and feelings of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl have been hit hard, and now she meets a self-conscious person, even if she knows that he may be perfunctory and false, but she grabs the life-saving straw like a person who is about to drown, and just hurriedly explains to him, lest she speak slowly, and the tears in her eyes are about to burst out of her eyes, and her words and actions are out of the norm, a little exaggerated and blunt, revealing a little pity and panic.

Although Huang Qilun didn't turn his head, he also knew Gong Mengshu's true state of mind at the moment, and he didn't break her cover-up, but just quietly listened to her somewhat dry explanation. Maybe he was too focused, Gong Mengshu felt that his performance was too clumsy in the end, so he stopped, staring at the night tiredly and never spoke again.

The road was deserted, except for the rustle of bicycle wheels speeding by, interspersed with the sound of chains crashing against the body. Huang Qilun carried Gong Mengshu almost all over the city this night. When he arrived at Gong Mengshu's door, he was panting again and fanning the wind with the hem of his clothes, his face covered with sweat.

The peculiar thing is that Gong Mengshu did not enter the house, but got out of the car and walked in the opposite direction to the door of the house. It was a small dirt slope, Huang Qilun saw that it was wrong and hurriedly asked Gong Mengshu: "Miss Gong, you, don't you go into the house?"

Gong Mengshu came back from his trance, and then said: "Oh, thank you for sending me back, you are busy, I bothered you for a night, thank you so much, and I'm sorry for causing you to run so far...... I've arrived, so go back first. ”

"Where are you going?" Huang Qilun hurriedly parked his bicycle in a secluded place and followed Gong Mengshu.

"Everyone in the family is asleep, and it's not good for me to go back like this, so as not to worry them, so I won't go into the house. I'll sit on the small dirt slope opposite for a while, and then I'll enter the door when it's dawn......" Gong Mengshu saw that Huang Qilun's enthusiasm was a little too much, so he answered truthfully. She crawled into the woods on a small dirt slope in the dark, and then sat down beside a bush. From this angle, you can see the movement at the door of the house, and others can't find her traces, when she was a child, she would hide here when she was scolded by her father, which was her safe haven.

When I was a child, Cheng Ruikai, who lived in a mansion for a while, always followed her home, and the two of them often hid here to live at home, but now that I think about it, Gong Mengshu's heart seems to be hovered by thorns, and it hurts.

Huang Qilun also climbed uphill and sat down next to Gong Mengshu. Gong Mengshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you go back? Your mother should worry about you—"

"It's okay, I sometimes go on outings with my classmates at night, and it's often late," Huang Qilun still didn't leave, he sat on the rock, pulled off a piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth, and had no intention of leaving.

The meaning of Gong Mengshu's words was obvious, seeing that Huang Qilun was unmoved, and he knew that if he was forced to leave, he would only continue to wait in another secluded place, so he sighed softly and stopped urging him.

The two sat quietly for a while, although the night was dark, but there was still a period of time until dawn, Huang Qilun saw Gong Mengshu holding his thin shoulders and shrinking in the cold wind, so he moved his body and said first: "Why don't I call the door for you, stay up until dawn, I'm afraid you should be frostbitten-"

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Gong Mengshu said softly, his voice a little choked.

Huang Qilun thought about it, took off the coat on his body, held it in his hand but didn't dare to hand it to Gong Mengshu, he was sweating while riding a bicycle tonight, he was afraid that Gong Mengshu would be disgusted by the smell of sweat on his coat, so he hesitated for a while before turning the coat over, and then gently draped it on her shoulders for her, and snorted: "You, don't think I'm dirty, be careful of catching a cold-"

Gong Mengshu was stunned for a moment, and then held the edge of the coat that exuded the smell of sweat with trembling fingers, and finally couldn't bear to brush off Huang Qilun's kindness, and only said after a while: "Thank you." ”

"It's okay," Huang Qilun retreated to his original position, still not daring to surprise the beauty. He subconsciously wiped the sweat from his palms on his knees, and then asked cautiously: "Are you an errand boy in the Cheng Mansion...... Uh, aren't you happy?"

Gong Mengshu shook his head, nodded again, and felt that the corners of his eyes began to become astringent.

"If it's very depressing, quit and find a good job again-" Huang Qilun gave Gong Mengshu an idea, "Actually, you can do a lot of things, and being a maid really wronged you......"

Gong Mengshu wore Huang Qilun's somewhat old coat, buried his face in his lap tiredly, and only replied to him after a while: "I am humble and can't do anything." If you really want to come out independently and find something to do, you have to wait until you graduate from the girls' high school-"

"That's also true, it's much easier to find a job with a graduation certificate," Huang Qilun echoed.

Gong Mengshu shook his head and said, "But I can't wait for graduation—"

"Why?" asked Huang Qilun.

"No, I'm just tired," Gong Mengshu felt exhausted, she lowered her head and said listlessly: "I really don't have any strength at all, I can't hold on." I'm coming back to ask my parents for permission to drop out of school, and then I'll go home and help them out—"

"Can your parents agree?" asked Huang Qilun.

Gong Mengshu didn't say anything, but Erniang's scathing and gloating face appeared in her mind, she sighed and said, "No matter what others think, the only thing I worry about in my heart is that my mother will be disappointed." ”

"Then you have to think twice, don't rush to make a decision yet," Huang Qilun advised.

Gong Mengshu glanced at him gratefully, bowed slightly, and said, "I know." ”

"Actually, you don't have to be downcast, isn't it just a maid's errand!" Huang Qilun began to encourage Gong Mengshu: "I think that my mother and I were forced to leave our hometown and come here, and we had nothing, but my mother is a capable and powerful person, and she has a firm foothold here, so I know that a woman's potential power is infinite——"

Gong Mengshu heard Huang Qilun talk about his mother for the first time, and couldn't help but listen to him intently.

"My mother wakes up early every day and works tirelessly to provide for me to go to school, so I vow that I will honor her old man in the future, and I will never forget my mother when I have a wife in the future...... I will be good to my wife and mother in the future, so that they can live a better life than anyone else......" Huang Qilun also told the girl he liked for the first time about the real situation at home, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, but his tone was serious and generous.

"You're going to ...... Will you find a wife and a concubine?" Gong Mengshu hesitated for a long time before this sentence suddenly came out.

"I won't! I said it a long time ago, I only love two women in this life, one is my mother and the other is my wife!" Huang Qilun said loudly, Gong Mengshu's nose was sour when he heard it, but his heart was a little soothing. She didn't say anything more, but the distance between the two of them was much closer.
