On the terrace, the evening breeze was blowing.

The clear and deep eyes reflected a little glimmer of Fenghu behind her, and Qi Xiaoran lowered her eyes for a long time before she found her voice, "Thank you." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiang Nuanyang picked up the packed lunch box on the dining table and took a step forward. He was not a warm-hearted person, but he became curious about this woman again and again.

Her eyes always seemed to hide a lot of memories about him, and every time she met those clear eyes full of memories, his heart always softened involuntarily.

The wooden ladder creaked under their feet, and the laughter and noise downstairs grew as the distance grew, and he walked in front, out of the doorway, and waited for her to follow by the roadside.

"Which way are you going?"

His voice was as cold as the wind, Qi Xiaoran lowered his head all the way, and only raised his head when he came out, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Right." ”

The hotel she was staying at was diagonally opposite Fenglai Pavilion, no more than five minutes away.

Xiang Nuanyang had a direction, but he was not in a hurry to go, he just turned his head to look at her.

He was waiting for her. Qi Xiaoran's mind flashed through this possibility, took a deep breath and raised his feet to walk forward, and when he was with him, he moved.

The Fenghu streetscape is brightly lit and crowded.

"Mr. Xiang, how many days do you plan to stay in Lincheng?"

"Not sure. ”

"Oh. ”

Qi Xiaoran had a great courage to dare to speak out, and was easily dismissed by his indifferent three words, at this time, the sense of loss surged into his heart like the sea at high tide.

On the side of the road, someone ran over on a rampage, Xiang Nuanyang turned sideways slightly and was about to get out of the way, seeing that Qi Xiaoran only walked with his head down and didn't notice anything abnormal, he stretched out his hand and pressed her shoulder and pulled her over.

Qi Xiaoran touched a warm chest in a daze, and a faint scent of grass penetrated into her nose, and she caught a glimpse of a figure hurrying by, and then she understood.

She took a greedy and quiet sip, took a step back, blushed and said, "Thank you." ”

"Hmm. Xiang Nuanyang said lightly, his hanging hand clenched into an empty fist, and his fingers pinched, "Don't be a bowing person on the street." ”

"Huh?"

"Dangerous. ”

"Oh, got it. Qi Xiaoran nodded obediently, saw the hotel across the road, raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, "Mr. Xiang, I've arrived." ”

Xiang Nuanyang looked at the tip of her white slender index finger, her eyes were deep, "Well, let's go." ”

She said it was close, it turned out to be really close.

"It's just a zebra crossing, and I can go over it myself. Qi Xiaoran saw that he was still carrying a food box in his hand, so he was embarrassed to delay his time any longer.

She was already very satisfied tonight, and only this short half an hour was enough for her to reminisce for a long time.

"By the way. "It was indeed on the way, when he came, the parking space of Fenglai Pavilion was full, so he simply parked his car in the underground parking lot of this hotel.

"Green light. ”

Qi Xiaoran was still wondering why he was on the way, and when he heard his voice, he found that he had already walked into the zebra crossing.

Because it is a scenic spot, there are many pedestrians waiting for traffic lights on both sides of the zebra crossing, and when the green light is on, everyone rushes to pass, and the road that is quite spacious seems to be crowded and narrow.

After Qi Xiaoran was hit on the shoulder for the third time, Xiang Nuanyang began to block her from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, and every time her hand was raised, her heart was pounding.

The hotel was on the side of the road, and after saying goodbye to each other, Qi Xiaoran walked into the hotel lobby, not daring to look back again, for fear that he would become more greedy.

And Xiang Nuanyang looked at her thin back thoughtfully, and that strange sense of familiarity came back again, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it, but he felt very familiar.

This is probably why he is a little different from Qi Xiaoran, he thinks so.

Early the next morning, Qi Xiaoran woke up dimly, and the subtleties of getting along with Xiang Nuanyang last night emerged, and she tugged at a sweet smile, and her crush was sometimes not just a cup of bitter black coffee, but also a mocha with strong sweet milk.

After a brief wash, she changed into a sports suit, picked up her backpack and walked out.

There was a buffet breakfast on the second floor of the hotel, but instead of eating there, she went to the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant next door and took out two drawers of crab roe xiaolongbao.

She went out at 7:30, from Fenghu to the hospital, walked slowly, and when she arrived at the hospital ward, it was exactly 8:15.

"Dad. Glancing from the small window outside the door, she didn't see Mo Zhen's figure, so she pushed the door in.

"Xiao Ran, you're here. Wei Qianwen had long noticed her movement outside the door, but both father and daughter tacitly chose not to mention that person.

"Hmm. She responded in a low voice, took out the crab roe xiaolongbao in a disposable food box from her backpack, and said, "I bought it at that tea restaurant in Fenghu, try it." ”

"Good. He smiled happily, took the food box, put one in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and sighed vaguely: "It's really an endless aftertaste!"

When they were at their grandmother's house, Wei Qianwen would secretly come to see her and bring her crab roe xiaolongbao when she was on a business trip.

Mo Zhen stood outside the ward, only at the door she heard a slight laughter in the ward, she pushed the door open with a calm face, and the handle behind the door hit the wall, making a dull and abrupt sound.

Qi Xiaoran, who was laughing with Wei Qianwen, was startled, and immediately stood up, reflexively shrunk his shoulders, but soon returned to normal.

Shrinking her shoulders was a habitual action she used to have because of fear every time she was beaten and scolded, but she didn't expect that after all these years, she would still reflexively hide.

As soon as Mo Zhen entered the door, the atmosphere in the ward froze, and Qi Xiaoran didn't want to embarrass Wei Qianwen, so he left after a few words.

"Ah Zhen, it was my fault in the past, after so many years, Xiao Ran has grown up, you still can't let go?"

"Let go? You killed the person I love the most and sent my son away, don't you know how your daughter came to be? You let me go, are you embarrassed?"

"Ah Zhen, that time I got drunk was my ......"

"Enough! Wei Qianwen, she is a stain and a shame on my life!"

Outside the door of the ward, Qi Xiaoran covered her mouth and leaned against the wall, her face was pale, and the conversation in the ward shook her body so that she had a dull pain everywhere, and her throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and the tears were blocked in her eyes.

She is a stain and a shame on her own mother? Then why did you give birth to her? Qi Xiaoran asked silently and sadly, and her heart was desolate and helpless.

Suddenly she heard footsteps approaching, she covered her mouth and hurriedly turned around and ran away silently.

Xiang Nuanyang stood not far behind her, her thin lips were slightly open, and she came to the ordinary inpatient area to find the attending doctor of the old lady, but she didn't expect to see Qi Xiaoran in the corridor.

He had barely taken a few steps closer when he saw her turn and run away as if frightened, and his voice was stuck in his throat. Watching her back disappear at the end of the hallway, he walked forward thoughtfully, only to see a yellow lucky charm embroidered with her name on the ground.

With her tearful eyes and the sadness in her eyes, he tilted his head and thought about it, squatting down to hold the lucky charm in the palm of his hand.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?" When the hotel front desk saw Xiang Nuanyang walking in, his eyes immediately flashed with a red heart, revealing a standard smile with eight teeth.

Xiang Nuanyang approached and said expressionlessly: "There is a guest in your hotel named 'Qi Xiaoran', please help me contact her." ”

"Sorry, the hotel has a rule that guest information cannot be leaked. The front desk winked cutely.

He frowned, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and when he spoke again, the bottom of his eyes had returned to cold as water, "You call her from the inside line." ”

"This ......," the front desk hesitated to look at the landline at hand, "Okay, then please wait a minute." ”

"Hmm. ”

The front desk quickly pressed the room line number, and after a while, the phone was connected.

"Hello, this is the front desk, are you Miss Qi?"

"I am. ”

She glanced at the unwavering man in front of the stage and said, "There's a gentleman downstairs looking for you...... Give him the phone, huh?"

“...... Okay, wait a minute. ”

"Sir?" she covered the microphone and called softly, and only after looking at Nuan Yang did she whisper, "Miss Qi asked you to answer the phone." ”

Xiang Nuanyang glanced at the microphone in her hand and reached out to take it, "It's me." ”

After waiting for a while, he seemed to sense her doubts, so he said, "Xiang Nuanyang." ”

“...... How much is the room number?"

After hearing the answer on the phone, he put the microphone on the table, did not look at the front desk again, and when he turned around, he said lightly: "Thank you." ”

The front desk looked at the majestic figure of him walking towards the elevator, and involuntarily stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said in his heart: Such a good-looking man is actually a door-to-door service....... What kind of person?

Xiang Nuanyang got out of the elevator, held the lucky charm in his pocket, walked to the door of 826, and pressed the doorbell.

After a minute, the door still hadn't opened.

He stood outside the door and frowned puzzled, and pressed it a few more times before the door was slowly opened from the inside.

Qi Xiaoran held her hands on the side of the door, the sportswear she saw in the morning had been changed, and she was wearing a light blue deep V-neck chiffon top and black slacks at this time, looking like she had just washed her hair, her waist-length hair was coiled on the back of her head, a few strands of wet hair fell from her forehead, and water droplets dripped on her shoulders, dying a small piece of it, vaguely revealing the black shoulder straps inside.

He looked away, and then fell on her slightly stunned little face, the sorrow and tears he saw in the hospital were gone, and his shadow was reflected in his eyes, the shadow was clear, and he lifted a string on his heart, trembling slightly.

Qi Xiaoran met his gaze, then came back to his senses, and leaned on the door to get out of the way, "Mr. Xiang, please come in." ”

immediately stared at her hand holding the doorknob, hesitating whether she should close the door, but if it was closed, it would be a lonely man and a widow in the same room, it seemed that something was wrong, and she couldn't hold her mind, and she was in a dilemma.

Xiang Nuanyang bowed slightly, raised his feet and walked in, seeing the duffel bag she had packed on the bed, her eyes flashed slightly, and she looked back at the person who was still standing by the door, "Are you ready to go back to Jiangcheng?"
