Chapter Eighty-Five: The Hermit
Xiao He stood outside the iron door of the research lock, watching Jiang Nuan's figure disappear from sight little by little, such a result was expected by him, Jiang Nuan did not answer his phone and did not reply to his text messages.
A week ago, he retired all the schedules and handed over everything in the studio to Chen Yi to take care of, he couldn't find Jiang Nuan, but he knew where Jiang Nuan's mother Mi Huaiyun lived. He stood at the door of Mi Huaiyun's house for a day before Mi Huaiyun opened the door and let him in.
Mi Huaiyun had been sitting indifferently without any words. He looked at Mi Huaiyun like this, and Mi Huaiyun who was present with Jiang Nuan that day was like two people, he had an illusion that the reason why Mi Huaiyun was polite to their family that day was because Jiang Nuan was present.
He broke the atmosphere first, poured a glass of water for Mi Huaiyun, and asked, "Does aunt know where Nuan Nuan went?"
Mi Huaiyun held the cup's hand, shook it for a moment, then took a sip steadily, and said casually: "I don't know." ”
The moment Mi Huaiyun shook, if he didn't pay attention to it, he would only think it was a habitual action, but Xiao He could see from her white joints that it was a sudden tension, obviously Mi Huaiyun was very concerned about Jiang Nuan's movements, but why did he make a look that it was none of his business, which made him very puzzled, in his impression, Jiang Nuan almost never mentioned Mi Huaiyun when he was with him, such a mother-son relationship was embarrassing and weird.
He stayed at Mi Huaiyun's house for two or three hours, what did he ask, Mi Huaiyun said a couple of words without a match, but everything related to Jiang Nuan was silent, just when Xiao was about to leave, Mi Huaiyun stopped her ** orange cat's hand, and she said two words: "Sanya"
At that moment, he was almost sure that Jiang Nuan was in Sanya, he was going to go out, but he came back, he asked Mi Huaiyun for a phone number, he thought that Mi Huaiyun cared about Jiang Nuan, so he asked for the number, and planned to find Jiang Nuan, so he told Mi Huaiyun about Jiang Nuan's situation.
Mi Huaiyun paused for a moment, but still took out his mobile phone, he read the number, Mi Huaiyun pressed it on her own mobile phone, and when she pressed it halfway, the orange cat in Mi Huaiyun's hand suddenly rushed forward, knocking over the water he had just poured, Mi Huaiyun hurriedly put the mobile phone aside, got up and wiped the water with the rag, he saw that Mi Huaiyun was busy, and directly picked up Mi Huaiyun's mobile phone to enter his phone and pressed it out.
Mi Huaiyun heard the mobile phone ringing, suddenly turned his head and snatched the mobile phone in his hand, staring at the mobile phone screen with a frightened face.
Mi Huaiyun's expression when he looked at the screen made him very puzzled, although Mi Huaiyun explained: It's nothing, she thought that the water that the cat had spilled was afraid that it had splashed on the screen.
Although Mi Huaiyun said this, he still didn't believe it, Mi Huaiyun's expression was extremely nervous and helpless.
———
Xiao He stayed at the door of the research institute from the research, waited for Jiang Nuan for a long time, Jiang Nuan did not come out again, but Qian Paner got down from the taxi with a big suitcase, he hurriedly put on his hat and put on his sunglasses, Qian Paner just glanced at him strangely, and ran towards a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who came out of the research institute.
Xiao He saw that the sky was already dark, so he walked in the direction of the hotel, he found a hotel near the research institute, and when he was walking on the road, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Mi Huaiyun, telling Mi Huaiyun that Jiang Nuan was fine.
He dialed Mi Huaiyun's phone, Mi Huaiyun connected, but he didn't speak, Xiao He took the phone off his ear, watched the call time jump by second, proving that the phone was indeed connected, he brought the phone to his lips: "Auntie, everything is fine, but the mood is unstable." As soon as he finished speaking, his phone showed that the call was over.
Xiao He put the mobile phone back into the pocket of his coat a little strangely, and thought of what his father had said, Mi Huaiyun used to be a woman who was powerful in the business world, but from a few meetings, what Xiao He could sense was Mi Huaiyun's indifference and elegance, and that kind of person was more like a hermit who "picked chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely saw Nanshan".
—————————
Jiang Nuan was trying the ratio of various reagents in the laboratory, and she wanted to find the most reasonable match. Although the smell in the laboratory made her sick to her stomach, she didn't dare to slack off at all, she wanted to draw the conclusion of the experiment as soon as possible, so that Lu Lin could get ahead in the scientific world, so that she would be a little less guilty.
She nervously looked at the gel electropherogram on the computer, her hands were gesturing on it, and her mind kept calculating, the result was not right, this was not what she wanted, she ran out of the laboratory a little frustrated, she wanted to clear her brain.
She attached to the railing, looked down at the downstairs, she saw Qian Pan'er walking under the street lamp accompanied by Qian Daquan, Qian Pan'er's body was still bloated, and her face seemed to have decreased a lot, Qian Pan'er and Qian Daquan walked to the chair on the side, Jiang Nuan hurriedly withdrew her gaze and took a few steps back, she thought that if they sat down, her eyes would sweep to the second floor where she was.
Jiang Nuan leaned her back against the door of the laboratory, she didn't know how to face Qian Pan'er, she even thought that Qian Pan'er would give her a knife with a knife, so she would feel better, she slowly slid down the door and sat on the ground, she was very disgusted with herself like this, it was obviously her own fault, but she stubbornly didn't dare to face it.
She squatted for a while, and then thought of the figure at the gate, is Xiao He still there? If Xiao He loves her, what will Xiao He do for her? She asked herself, but there was no answer. Jiang Nuan stood up with some expectation, and then walked towards the bottom of the stairs, she went out through the back door, she didn't dare to open the front door, she didn't know how to tell Qian Pan'er.
She ran for a while, and when she was about to reach the gate, she slowed down, not wanting Xiao He to see her panicked steps, she wanted Xiao He to know that even without him, she Jiang Nuan could still move forward steadily, she looked from a distance, and did not see Xiao He's figure, she thought that maybe it was not true to see things at night, she walked forward again, until she reached the iron gate, and still did not find Xiao He's figure.
"Xiao Nuan, what are you looking for?"
Jiang Nuan's back tightened, and he regained his composure, turning his head to look at the security guard. "No, I'll go out. ”
The security guard stepped forward to help her open the door, smiling with a smile on his face. "You're looking for that tall and handsome guy, I noticed it at noon, you just stood from a distance and watched, that guy is actually quite good, just walked for a while, it's not easy to wait so long in such a cold weather. ”
Jiang Nuan listened to the security guard's words, her eyes rolled, she still walked out, maybe she could go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test, I don't know if it was the security guard's words, or because there was no cold wind at the moment, Jiang Nuan's steps were a lot brisker.
