Zhu Beini promised He Meili to accompany her to the bank on Saturday.

But something happened that caught her off guard and made her promise unkept.

At that time, she had lunch and was basking in dark clouds with Tutu in the small garden opposite the office building.

The sky was gray and the air was stagnant due to low pressure, as if it were going to rain heavily.

The mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Zhao Nana's husband Jin Lei.

Zhu Beini's first reaction was that he probably came to complain again. Unexpectedly, the phone was connected, but what I heard was a very nasal sob.

"Nana, let's go." Jin Lei said hummingly.

"Running away from home? Did you call the police? ”

"It's not. It's gone. ”

“……”

It's like having a string in your head, being plucked forcefully, and then buzzing and ringing. Zhu Beini unconsciously reached out to support her head, she couldn't lift her feet when she wanted to take a step, and her whole person was suddenly weak, and she wanted to squat down and rest.

"What's wrong with you?" The sudden sudden beside her was the first to notice that something was wrong with her.

How Jin Lei's phone hung up, and what he said after hearing the bad news, Zhu Beini couldn't recall it at all.

By the time she had gradually recovered her senses from the hum, she was already sitting at her desk.

"You're scared the hell out of me." Suddenly and attentively, he handed a freshly mixed cup of brown sugar water to Zhu Beni. "What call did you take? Suddenly, his face turned pale, his lips had no color, and the whole person was stunned...... Fortunately, we met Han Cheng, and we half-supported and half-shelf, and only then did we transport you back to the office.

I want to call an ambulance.

Alice said to give you a glass of brown sugar water to try first. ”

Zhu Beini struggled to smile gratefully at Tu Tu.

Alice, the manager of the training department, has favored her since Zhu Beini unexpectedly got back the teaching contract of Weiran Culture Wenjian.

"Do I need to go to the hospital?" Han Cheng asked with concern.

Zhu Beini shook her head.

"I think I'll send you home to rest." Alice took on a smart boss posture.

Zhu Beini felt that her state was really not suitable for work, so she nodded: "I'll go back myself." I don't have to send it. ”

Alice insisted that she didn't worry about such a Zhu Beini going back by herself, and insisted on finding someone to send it.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Rush to answer.

"Not really. I called my boyfriend to pick it up. ”

After all, employees are the company's resources, and Zhu Beini herself has to take leave, so she is not willing to drag down Alice with more resources.

Hearing Zhu Beini call her boyfriend to pick her up, everyone stopped insisting.

Chen Xiaoxi was on paid sick leave at the time, and when he received a call from Zhu Beini, Baba came.

Zhu Beini made an appointment to meet him in the lobby under the office building. Tutu also dragged Alice and made an excuse to watch.

When walking out of the office building side by side with Chen Xiaoxi, Zhu Beini opened her mouth to tell Chen Xiaoxi about Zhao Nana's unfortunate death. Before he opened his mouth to say "Nana", tears began to fall.

"Nana, she's gone."

Chen Xiaoxi glanced at Zhu Beini and hugged her sideways wordlessly.

"I flipped through my phone today and found a message. You asked me if I wanted to go home for the New Year, so I don't have to hesitate. ”

Zhu Beini looked at Chen Xiaoxi with a pair of red eyes, as if puzzled.

"What? You're not going to go back? Chen Xiaoxi asked rhetorically.

In my impression, Jin Lei did not invite himself to go back.

Nana is no longer there, what can I get back when I go back?

Moreover, with her understanding of Chen Xiaoxi's "practicality first", shouldn't Chen Xiaoxi be the most opposed to doing useless work?

Zhu Beini Xu was only concerned about sadness, and she really didn't want to go back in her mind. This has something to do with the "house" in her personality.

Although it is far from being a dead house, she does not go out if she can not go out, she avoids groups if she can avoid gatherings, and she does often feel that she is too lazy to toss if she can do less.

Chen Xiaoxi showed rare intervention and persistence: "The so-called continuous judgment will be chaotic, and it is you." If you had decided to go home at the beginning, even if Nana was still gone, you would not have been so remorseful, or even blame yourself.

Now, don't be indecisive. Don't hint at this or that excuse, go back and leave tonight. At the farewell and memorial service of the body, say goodbye to Nana in your heart. ”

Zhu Beini rested her head on Chen Xiaoxi's chest and let him pat her back.

Thinking that he was reasonable, she sobbed and agreed in a muffled voice.

"Take me back too. First, I will take care of you back and forth on the way, and second, I will meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”

Zhu Beini couldn't help but take a step back, abruptly leaving Chen Xiaoxi's embrace, and her eyes looking at Chen Xiaoxi also changed from dependence to vigilance.

"Think beautifully!" Zhu Beni replied to him.

"You persuaded me to go home in order to take you back, right?"

"How can you live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. That's two different things entirely! When this kind of thing happens, I can't go back. But you? Soft personality, forward-looking, weak-willed, sentimental, tsk, you better go back obediently. Take me with you or not, you need to go back. ”

"Why do I need to return when I have a weak personality and a weak will? Why can't you go back if you change it? ”

"Can't understand the truth? You're still a master's student, and you're stupid at reading. ”

"Tell me."

"I'm afraid you won't understand what I said."

One was clamoring to listen, and the other was refusing.

Zhu Beini didn't notice that because of Chen Xiaoxi's interruption, her sadness was unconsciously alleviated a lot.

Back at Zhu Beini's residence, Chen Xiaoxi helped her buy tickets on the Internet. After packing her luggage briefly, she called her parents to report the time to return home.

"You're coming back?" Zhu's mother was obviously surprised.

The small county town is not big, and the news spreads quickly. Zhu's mother knew Nana's bad news. It's just that in her eyes, the Spring Festival is approaching and the exam is approaching, and the necessity of this tiring journey is discounted.

"People cannot be resurrected after death, only mourning and change. Isn't it the same if you call to express your condolences? Mother Zhu hesitated in her tone, but she stopped it explicitly.

Zhu Beini suddenly became excited: "I regret that I didn't intervene more when I first learned about Nana's condition, I could have done better." If I had tried my best, it might not have ended like this. Mom, I'm a little guilty of it.

If I don't send Nana this time, I will have no face to remember her in the future, and I will have no face to say that I am best friends with her.

Even if I want to be at ease in the future, I should go back to see her off for the last time. What's more, in my heart, I really care about my friendship with her. ”

When Zhu's mother heard this, she hurriedly changed her words and agreed, saying that she would let Zhu's father go to the station in the morning.

Hanging up the phone, Zhu Beini looked up, and Chen Xiaoxi was looking at her with sparkling eyes.

"Yo. Smarter than I thought. I've come to my senses. ”

Zhu Beini remembered the words between him and Chen Xiaoxi just now, he actually saw the truth one step earlier than himself, and couldn't help but smile gloomily.

After thinking about it, I became more and more curious, and I couldn't help asking: "Then why can't you go back if you change it?" ”
