"Lin Yutong?"

Lu Ning came back from attending a business banquet, walked forward while getting out of the elevator and taking the key, and saw a person squatting at the door of his house as soon as he turned the corner.

Lin Yutong's head was dizzy, and she vaguely heard as if someone was calling her name, but her eyelids were too heavy to open them.

"Lin Yutong, why are you sleeping here?" Lu Ning frowned, reached out and touched the back of her hand, and found it hot, "You have a fever!"

"Huh?" Lin Yutong still couldn't open his eyes, and sighed uncomfortably.

Lu Ning immediately opened the door, bent down and hugged the person horizontally, turned around and walked downstairs quickly.

"Lu Ning?" Lin Yutong finally opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Hmm. Lu Ning stared at the two elevators that stopped on the 23rd floor and didn't move, frowning irritably.

"Where are we going?"

"Go to the hospital, you're having a fever. ”

"Don't go to the hospital. Lin Yutong struggled for a while, but his whole body was weak due to fever, and he couldn't break into Lu Ning's arms at all, "I won't go to the hospital, I won't go." ”

"Why don't you go?" The elevator still had no intention of going down, and Lu Ning looked down at her.

"I only went to the hospital today, and the back of my hand was swollen from the infusion, so I didn't want to go. Lin Yutong muttered, reaching out to support his chest or struggling, "Please let me down." ”

Lu Ning ignored her, glanced at the two elevators that were the same as those who died on the 23rd floor, turned around and walked home.

Lin Yutong was carried into the room and put on the bed in a daze, and before he turned a corner in his mind, he saw him turn around and go out again.

Didn't she come to Lu Ning to question? Why did she fall asleep at the door of his house?

Lu Ning came back with the medicine box, first took a thermometer and stuffed it into her mouth, and then tore off the fever-reducing patch and pasted it on her forehead.

He couldn't speak when he shouted a thermometer, so Lin Yutong looked at him with his eyes open.

Lu Ning had a handsome face, "Have you had dinner?"

Lin Yutong thought about it, as if he was busy and forgot, he really didn't eat, so he shook his head gently.

Lu Ning stared at her and didn't speak for a while.

Lin Yutong was a little weak by him, and couldn't help but turn his eyes away.

"You've been like this for a few years. After Lu Ning finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room again.

Lin Yutong was stunned by what he said, and suddenly remembered.

In the classroom in the middle of summer, the ceiling fan is whirling and turning, and after school in the afternoon, the students basically go to dinner.

Lin Yutong sat in her position, concentrating on an English test paper for the middle school exam that the teacher helped her find.

Lu Ning came back from playing basketball, frowned and stepped forward after just one look, grabbed a chair and sat down next to her, and reached out to pinch her serious little face, "Cat, didn't you go to eat again?"

Lin Yutong was doing reading comprehension, and it took a long time for her cheek to be pinched, and she looked up at him in a daze, and it took a while before she suddenly realized, "I forgot." ”

"Are you hungry?" Lu Ning was helpless.

"Hungry. Lin Yutong frowned, "But I'm going to finish this set of English papers now, and the English teacher will help me review and correct it during the evening self-study." ”

"Then you're hungry and won't eat?" Lu Ning threw his hand and threw the basketball sandwiched between his arm and waist into the bamboo frame at the back of the classroom.

Lin Yutong was a little entangled, and Lu Ning suddenly smiled evilly, "Cat." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Yutong turned his head in confusion, he took the opportunity to lean forward, clasped the back of her head and kissed her.

The afterglow of a summer evening slanted into the classroom, reflecting specks of light on desks and textbooks.

With a slight breeze, the white light gauze curtains at the window opened and covered the teenagers and girls crowded at the window to steal kisses.

Lin Yutong's cheeks were crimson when she was kissed, and she liked to be intimate with Lu Ning, but she was afraid that a classmate would suddenly come in the classroom, so she grabbed Lu Ning's arm nervously, and when she was about to kick out of breath, Lu Ning finally let go of her.

"Cats. Lu Ning evoked a ruffian smile and called her in a dumb voice.

"Huh?" Lin Yutong blushed, a little embarrassed to look at him just now.

Lu Ning looked at her shy appearance and smiled even worse, "Are you full now?"

Lin Yutong was dizzy by his kiss's head, and only after half a ring did he realize what he was talking about, his little face was completely red, and even his neck and ears were red.

"Lu Ning, you ...... Why are you so bad!"

Lu Ning laughed and pinched her red little face, "Let's do the test paper." ”

Lin Yutong was stunned, "Don't you eat it?"

"Huh, cat, you haven't eaten yet?" Lu Ning approached her two points again, "I don't mind, it's just ......"

"Shut up!" Lin Yutong glared at him, "I mean eating, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Make your papers. Lu Ning bent down and took out his mobile phone from the back table, "Cat, you sit in." ”

Lin Yutong had to move the English test paper and pen to the same table, and when he saw him stretching out a pair of long legs, leaning on the back of the chair and playing with his mobile phone, he couldn't help asking: "You just finished playing ball, and you haven't eaten, right?" I'll come back after dinner. ”

"Make your rolls. Lu Ning held her mobile phone in one hand and swiped the takeaway APP menu, and pressed it on her head with the other, "Eat sushi today?"

Lin Yutong knew that he was ordering takeout, so he was a little relieved, "I can do it, you can order it, then I'll make the rolls." ”

"Well, do it. Lu Ning lay on the table after ordering takeout, with her head resting in her hands and watching her do the English test paper.

Lin Yutong is very focused on doing things, and he can almost reach the realm of selflessness when he is serious.

Later, the two were in the classroom, and they ate takeout before the start of the evening self-study, and her English test paper was not delayed and was successfully completed.

It seemed to be like this every time before, she forgot to eat when she did the question, either Lu Ning ordered takeout to eat with her, or Lu Ning ran out of school to buy some food and came back to eat with her.

Anyway, it didn't let her go hungry, nor did it delay her time to do the questions.

Lin Yutong looked at the ceiling, thinking back to the past, her heart was sour, sweet and painful, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She raised her hand and pressed her sleeve to her eyes, forcing the tears back.

It's useless. Obviously, she can survive anything when she is alone, but as long as she encounters something related to Lu Ning, or Lu Ning is by her side, she seems to become very weak, and her tears are always uncontrollable.

It's a shame.

Lu Ning went back to the bedroom, "Give me the thermometer." ”

"Oh. Lin Yutong was stunned before he reacted, and quickly took out the thermometer in his mouth, "Here you go." ”

"Thirty-eight degrees six. Lu Ning looked at the temperature on the thermometer, and wanted to explode someone's braincase, "With a high fever, you don't take medicine to rest at home, what are you running around at night?"

"It's a lot better. Lin Yutong subconsciously explained, "It's more than thirty-nine degrees in the morning." ”

"Are you quite proud?" Lu Ning raised his eyebrows with a cold face.

"Nope. Lin Yutong avoided his gaze inexplicably.

Lu Ning looked at her weak expression, angry and speechless, and inexplicably a little nostalgic.

She used to be like this, every time she did something wrong, she didn't dare to look into his eyes, she looked weak and timid, and she looked a little aggrieved, which made him angry, funny, distressed and helpless every time.

"Lin Yutong, you ......"

As soon as Lu Ning spoke, the doorbell rang at the door, and the takeaway he ordered was delivered.

"What?" Lin Yutong raised his eyes to look at him.

Lu Ning glanced at her, didn't speak, and went out to get takeout.

Lin Yutong looked at his back, a little curious about what he hadn't finished just now, and when he came back in, he couldn't help asking, "What were you going to say just now?"

"Want to know?" Lu Ning brought a small table, put the takeaway on it and opened it, it was easy-to-digest lean porridge and some side dishes.

Lin Yutong watched him busy, "Hmm." But if you don't want to say it, you can not say it. ”

Lu Ning looked up at her and sneered, "Get up and eat." ”

"Thank you. Lin Yutong sat up and took the porridge bowl, "You...... Won't you eat it?"

"How much do you think it is?"

"Oh. Lu Ning's three meals have always been very regular, she knew it before, and he didn't have the habit of eating supper, that is, when he was studying, he felt that she was too thin, so he always took her out of school to eat after evening self-study.

At this time, Lu Ning had naturally already had dinner.

Lin Yutong leaned on the bedside and silently finished eating a bowl of porridge, Lu Ning came in with a cup of warm boiled water and put it at the head of the bed, and there was cold medicine next to it.

"Thank you. Lin Yutong thanked softly.

Lu Ning packed up the takeaway box, and didn't enter the bedroom again, just in the living room.

Lin Yutong got up and put on his shoes and went out, and when he saw him sitting on the sofa reading documents, he walked to the sofa opposite and sat down.

Lu Ning finally lifted his eyelids to look at her, "You came to me so late, what's the matter?"

Lin Yutong's hands were clasped together, and when he heard this, he tightened slightly, "Didn't you say that you would give me five days to think about it? ”

Lu Ning's fingers holding the document were violently forced, and half of the document was pinched half-shaped, so he loosened his strength, put the document aside, and asked with a tense face: "Then what are you thinking about?"

Lin Yutong moved her lips and didn't say anything for a long time.

In the living room in the middle of the night, there was no sound except for the occasional car passing on the road outside.

"Lu Ning. After a long while, Lin Yutong finally spoke.

"Huh?" Lu Ning couldn't see any emotion on his face, but the fingers that were clasped together revealed his not very calm heart at this time.

Lin Yutong plucked up the courage to look up at him, "You asked me if I would like to return to you, do you want me to be your underground lover?"

Lu Ning narrowed his eyes.

Lin Yutong continued: "You have already proposed to Zhao Jia. Since you are in a stable relationship and have reached the point where you are about to get married, you say that you want me to be your lover, right?"

Lu Ning laughed angrily, "I proposed to Zhao Jia, and I'm going to get married?"

"Yes, I've already seen the ring, haven't I?" Lin Yutong looked at him with a little expectation.

"Yes. Lu Ning sneered and nodded, "I just want you to be my underground lover, how about it?"

"Do I agree, you ask?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Ning put down his stacked legs, "Lin Yutong, do you think that I will break all the bottom lines for you now?"

"......" Lin Yutong lowered her eyes, "No." "Don't talk about it now, even when the two of them were together in the past, when they were the most affectionate, she never thought about it like this.

Lu Ning gritted his back socket angrily, but his face became more and more light, "How is it?

"Yes. Lin Yutong said: "Before I came, I was thinking, I need to ask an answer." If the answer is yes, then I know how to answer you. ”

"What?"

Lu Ning stared at her, Lin Yutong didn't avoid his gaze this time, "Lu Ning, in fact, even if I don't say it, you should know that I can't be your underground lover." ”

Lu Ning's pupils shrank sharply, and a monstrous anger flashed in them.

Lin Yutong stood up, "Lu Ning, no matter what, I broke up with you on the phone seven years ago, I'm sorry, but ......"

At that time, her mother knew that she was in early love with Lu Ning, and her academic performance declined, so she angrily forced her to break up with Lu Ning. But she already liked Lu Ning too much at that time, how could she give up her breakup, so she rebelled against her mother for the first time, promising not to delay her studies, but she refused to break up with Lu Ning.

As a result, her mother was too angry once and did not allow her to go out to see Lu Ning, she wanted to sneak out and was bumped into by her mother, and her mother chased her out, but she slipped from the stairs on the third floor, rolled all the way to the hall on the first floor, and was admitted to the hospital and never stood up again.

She blamed herself and felt guilty in her heart, if it weren't for her willfulness, her mother wouldn't have become what she is now. And at that time, the doctor in China recommended going abroad for treatment, otherwise my mother might not even be able to save her life.

So she endured her sadness and made a phone call to break up with Lu Ning, and then took her mother abroad for treatment, and she left for seven years.

But now that she is saying such things to Lu Ning, it is more like she intends to make up a story to defend herself.

And he already has other people he likes, and he's not hers anymore.

This kind of wound that is covered under the scabbed wound, in fact, has already been suppurated by longing, so why bother to show it to him.

In the end, even if they meet each other on the street in the future, they are just strangers who have been familiar with each other. There may not even be a slight bow of greeting.

Lin Yutong swallowed, swallowed a fishy sweetness that surged up her throat, her heart hurt and it was difficult to breathe, her eyes were sour, and tears could flow in the next second, but she hooked the corners of her mouth and raised a shallow smile.
