Chapter 82
CHAPTER IX
Afterwards, Bai Lu was wrapped in a bath towel by Ning Haochen and carried back to the bed, and after exercising early in the morning, Bai Lu's cheeks were red, and her eyes could drip water.
Ning Haochen looked at her face lightly and nodded, "You used to lack exercise, exercise in the morning, and sure enough, the whole person's spirit came up." ”
Bai Lu glared at him weakly: Your sister (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻!)
Then Ning Haochen opened the closet, took out a set of clothes from the clothes he brought some time ago, and began to dress in front of her so loudly.
Bai Lu first saw that half of his wardrobe was occupied, and then saw his shameless behavior, rolled his eyes, and began to turn around to change clothes.
As soon as she got dressed, when she turned around, she saw Ning Haochen standing there for a long time, looking at her with a dull expression.
"What?" she was a little embarrassed, her face still red.
Ning Haochen stepped forward, his steps were calm, his eyes were determined, and his gestures were full of power that could not be ignored.
He stretched out his hand, and Bai Lu subconsciously took a step back, but he grabbed her arm to prevent her from retreating, and then wrapped his other hand around the back of her neck and straightened her collar.
He looked down at her, "Afraid of what?"
Bai Lu replied stubbornly, "What am I afraid of? Who is afraid?"
Ning Haochen took the bath towel on the bed again, "Bow your head." ”
"I'll do it myself......"
"Keep your head down. "Two simple words, no rejection.
Bai Lu had no choice but to lower her head and let him gently wipe her hair. The towel rubbed intimately against her hair, droplets of water slowly slid down her cheeks, and there seemed to be an invisible hand in the air, dragging her little by little to unpredictable places.
After wiping his hair, Ning Haochen gently pulled, and Bai Lu involuntarily leaned on him, forced to meet those dark and quiet eyes.
He asked her, "How did you think about what I just said?"
Bai Lu's face was hot, "We haven't known each other for long-"
"Three months and eleven days. ”
"Isn't it too early to talk about marriage—"
"I've always been about efficiency. ”
"But, but I don't think we know each other well enough—"
"Go deeper?" Ning Haochen tilted his head slightly, frowned, and looked so cute when he was thinking seriously.
After a moment, his brow furrowed even tighter, "You don't think it's deep enough?"
Bai Lu nodded again and again, "It's not enough!"
The next moment, the clothes that had just been put on were pulled away again, and Bai Lu protected her body again and again, "What are you doing?"
Ning Haochen didn't answer, but did another morning exercise in the bedroom, and it wasn't until the moment he entered her that he finally asked her, "This time, is it deep enough?"
White, Lu, again, cracked, up.
***
However, Bai Lu still did not agree to Ning Haochen's marriage proposal after all, it is true that the time between the two of them was happy and relaxed, and there was no burden, but that was just based on not considering the past and the future.
For a person like Ning Haochen, who has a good life and good conditions, it is very easy to talk about an unrestrained relationship.
As for Bai Lu, she has been with him from the beginning with a turtle mentality, and her first love between spirit and body makes her happy and novel. She admired this man, and she didn't feel that she had suffered a loss at all, but she knew one thing very well, that is, Ning Haochen was not in her future plans.
In this life, she will definitely marry and have children in accordance with the expectations of her parents and the requirements of the world, but her husband will not be a person like Ning Haochen.
He may be an ordinary person who can't be found when he gets into the crowd, and he is definitely not the one like Ning Haochen who is extremely eye-catching in a group of people.
Why?
Because he is not safe and the conditions are not safe, he and her are not in an equal position to talk about this relationship at all, and she even faintly has a little inferiority, how can she be sure that she can tie this person for a lifetime?
She definitely didn't want her children to become like herself, growing up alone because of their parents' failed marriage.
And after the failure of the marriage proposal, Ning Haochen had countless new actions, and we can call his actions the marriage proposal actions.
However, Mr. Ning's marriage proposal method is very special, there are no flowers and no diamond rings, it is countless times...... Personally.
He is a practical person, a high-end person, a foreign person, a person who is not ostentatious, flowers, balloons, diamond rings, Western food is not his style, he just shows his manly nature with his strength countless times→__ _→ whether it is on the pure sofa, or on the dusty kitchen counter, whether it is in the study, or on the floor that he cleaned in advance.
The Great Leader, Chairman Mao, said: We must serve the people.
Therefore, Mr. Ning firmly believes that love for a person should be reflected in service!
And Bai Lu finally raised the white flag in his marriage proposal again and again, "Big brother, you are doing well, you have something to say, don't pick up your clothes at every turn, okay?!"
Ning Haochen's face was stinky, "Could it be that my skills are not good?"
"Okay, it's just so good, it's so good that I can't bear it anymore!" Bai Lu cried, "You have crushed all the remaining shame of my heart, what face will you let me face in the future with my pure floor, sofa, cupboard, study?"
Ning Haochen quickly fell into a deep thought.
Bai Lu shook in front of his eyes, "Mr. Ning, are you online?"
Ning Haochen said: "I was thinking, you had better be mentally prepared, because after this month, you may not have the face to face your pure balcony, washing machine, dresser and coffee table." ”
“……”
Bai Lu: Do you want to defile all the pure furniture in my house to be happy(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻!)
***
In such an undisciplined marriage proposal day after day, a month has passed, and Bai Lu really has no face to face a room of furniture that has been stained.
She sat on the sofa with a red face, angrily pressed the only pure remote control, and inadvertently swept the calendar next to the TV cabinet, and was stunned.
Throwing down the remote, she rushed over to pick up the calendar, flipped a page forward, then another page, and finally found the little red circle at the mark of last month.
And so on –
She hasn't been to her aunt in two months?!
Bai Lu stood in place in shock, looked down at her flat lower abdomen, and suddenly remembered that there had been many mornings, because Ning Haochen attacked her unprepared, so that she didn't have time to take protective measures at all......
Oh my God, how many times has it cracked this month?
Taking advantage of Ning Haochen's overtime, she hurriedly drove to the supermarket to buy a few pregnancy test sticks and hurried back.
I tried it again and again in the toilet, and the pregnancy test stick was very calm to state the fact: Miss, you are pregnant.
Bai Lu sat on the toilet and stared at the three pregnancy test sticks in a daze for a long time, and finally threw them into the trash.
Hehehe, I won the lottery.
Won the lottery for the first time in her life!(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻Nima actually won a child!Can you still play happily!?
She returned to the living room sadly, sitting on the sofa with a sad face, not knowing for a moment whether to be happy or sad.
When Ning Haochen came back, Bai Lu was watching TV with his back to him, and he asked, "What did you eat at night?"
"You have millet porridge that is hot in the pot. ”
"I don't have any food, do you think the taste is too light?"
"It's fine. Before Bai Lu finished speaking, he saw Ning Haochen walking to the front of the sofa with a box in his hand.
He explained: "On the way back, I saw that Wei Xuanju was still open, and I bought you a roast rabbit and came back, so I had the right to use it as a supper." ”
Bai Lu looked at him and didn't speak for a while.
This man is supposed to be the kind of person who lives at the top of society, drives expensive cars, wears elaborate clothes, stretches his hands in clothes, and opens his mouth for food.
However, after they were together, he never put on any show for her, even cooked himself, and like all ordinary boyfriends, he did those things to please his girlfriend.
Now he looked at her quietly, not expecting her to jump up and hug him happily, it was clear that he simply wanted to be nice to her, so he did it, never expecting her to reciprocate, or to be grateful.
She felt that she really should think about her relationship with him, and the little life in her belly that had just sprouted.
While Bai Lu was reading a book in bed, Ning Haochen went to the bathroom to wash, dismantled the newly bought toothbrush, and threw the bag into the trash can on the side.
Then, before the lid could be closed, he paused slightly, then crouched down □, staring intently at the corner of the pile of papers.
The pile of paper was clean, and it was obvious that someone wanted to cover it up, just to cover up the "truth" below. He lifted the tissue and found three pregnancy test sticks lying there.
The two red lines were stark and glaring, as if mocking him for almost missing such a wonderful fact.
Ning Haochen returned to the bedroom casually, sat next to Bai Lu, and asked casually, "What book are you reading?"
"Carrot whiskers, I brought it back from your house last time. ”
"Is it pretty?"
"It's okay, it's very sad to look at, just because this child is not good-looking and his mind is not as good as his brothers and sisters, his parents are mean to him, this kind of parents are ......" Bai Lu sneered.
Ning Haochen paused, and then asked her lightly: "In addition to being not good-looking and having a bad mind, what kind of child do you think he is?"
Yo, this is still admitted?
Bai Lu thought for a while before saying: "He is very pitiful, because of his cowardly character, he gradually accepted this kind of family and affection in the meanness of his parents, and even he took it for granted that he deserved this kind of treatment, never thought about how to change himself, changed his circumstances, and lost the courage to pursue happiness." ”
Ning Haochen looked at her quietly, his face was calm, and his eyes were pitch black.
Bai Lu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, she rubbed her nose, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Ning Haochen still looked at her like that, under the dim light, his face was handsome and blurred, and there was a little indifference in his gentleness, like a distant street lamp in a cold night, a string of vague shadows.
Bai Lu's heart froze, "What, what's the matter? uh, this book is quite meaningful?"
Ning Haochen looked at her for a moment and smiled, "It's nothing, let's sleep." ”
He withdrew the book from her hand, turned off the lamp, and quietly closed his eyes with her.
After a long time, it was not until Bai Lu's breathing changed from rapid to smooth that he slowly reopened his eyes again, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the person beside him motionlessly.
She slept so sweetly, she slept like usual, she looked defenseless, and she was very smug and straightforward.
At first, I thought it was cute, and I could try to be together, but after getting along, I felt that it was very comfortable to live with her, and I didn't have to worry about anything. But this kind of bland comfort has become a habit at some point, and it is gradually addictive, like the air that depends on it, and it can't be separated for a moment.
He is Ning Haochen, who has lived in good times since he was a child, and has never encountered any setbacks. There are many people who like him, and those who don't like him are usually angry and dare not speak, he has always had the qualifications and ability to do things and choose according to his own ideas, and he also trusts his intuition.
However, after meeting Bai Lu, all his advantages disappeared.
He is just an ordinary man, when he meets the woman he likes, he tries his best and every possible means to be good to her, hoping to get her approval and make a name for himself.
As for the time she said, it was never a problem in his eyes.
When you meet someone who feels right, even if you only met yesterday, you recognize her.
And if it doesn't feel right, even if you have been together for a year, two years, ten years or eight years, you may not have a good feeling.
Ning Haochen once thought that Bai Lu's nodding was just a matter of time, women always had to be more reserved, and they always had more concerns. However, today, when he saw those pregnancy test sticks in the trash can, he came out and waited for a long time, and finally began to be dazed and began to panic.
Maybe he was too conceited? He thought everyone had to be him, but Bai Lu really didn't include him in her life.
She had his child, but she didn't say a word, and even when he asked, she was only flustered.
In the silence of the night, his heart rose and fell in the wind with the leaves outside the window, and he could no longer find a moment of peace.
***
In the next few days, at the end of the month, Bai Lu, who was an accountant, ushered in the busiest days of the month, and she was so busy that she couldn't calm down and think about herself and her belly.
She thought, wait a little longer, and see if there is any unbridgeable distance between herself and Ning Haochen living together, if there is really none, then she may be able to try to tell him the news, and then ...... And then she didn't know either.
She had a vague premonition that she was about to tell him a surprise, and perhaps in her heart it was actually joy.
However, Ning Haochen, who had been waiting for five days, finally couldn't hold back this ups and downs, and in the early morning, he took Bai Lu's hand that was about to arrange his collar and asked her again: "I've been proposing to you before, have you thought about it now?"
Bai Lu was in a hurry to go to the company, and said without looking back: "Let's talk about it in a few days." ”
It had been more than a month since he first proposed, and he had waited for more than a month, and Bai Lu had already told him to wait a few more days. He didn't know how long this so-called few days were, whether it would be another month, a year or two, or a lifetime.
He whispered, "Bai Lu, we need to talk." ”
"Let's talk about it when I come back, I'm in a hurry to get to work!"
Her hurried appearance made him feel that she had been running away, and he had put so much pressure on her that she didn't want to face it anymore.
Ning Haochen let go of her hand and watched her go out with her bag, because she left early these days, so she drove to work by herself.
The door closed, and he looked around and saw that the room was already filled with his scent.
His books took over her bookcase, his clothes took over her closet, his toothbrush and towels were lying on the cabinet in the bathroom, and the smell of his body was the same as hers, and even the smell of laundry detergent on his clothes was exactly the same.
He blended into her life, but never seemed to fit into her heart.
Ning Haochen frowned, and a sense of frustration arose.
***
After Bai Lu came home this night, Ning Haochen was not there, she thought he was working overtime, so she didn't care as usual.
However, until he went to bed, Ning Haochen did not come back.
She finally couldn't resist giving him a call, "Where are you?"
Ning Haochen's voice came from the quiet end, "At home." ”
“…… Your home?"
"Hmm. ”
Bai Lu paused, "Why didn't you come over?"
Ning Haochen didn't speak.
Gradually, Bai Lu sensed that something was wrong, and his heart sank, and finally asked, "Ning Haochen?"
"Hmm. "It's still that simple monotone.
"What's wrong with you?" she was a little uneasy, "is something wrong?"
Ning Haochen said slowly: "I like someone and want to be with her, not just for a short time, but for a lifetime. I'm nice to her, and although I may be very self-conscious, I don't do much, and because of my personality, I'm occasionally a little strong, but I think she can feel my intentions. ”
"......" Bai Lu breathed.
"I proposed to her, and at first she thought I was joking, but then she finally realized that I was serious, but she didn't accept me. I always thought it was just a woman's reserved manipulation and that she would accept me sooner or later, but later I realized that I was too confident. ”
"Ning Haochen ......"
"Bai Lu, listen to what I've said. Ning Haochen was very calm, as if he was stating a well-thought-out decision, "You live in an unsound family, you have experienced the neglect of your parents since you were a child, and now you are complained by them because you have been single. You're used to being alone, you're used to laying a smooth and safe road for yourself, and you're not willing to take risks and try challenges that are out of the situation, because those challenges are likely to hurt you. You feel that your life should be lived peacefully, peacefully, and joyfully, like carrot whiskers, even if it is not as good as it should be. ”
"With me, you've experienced what excitement is and what surprise is, but you don't intend to change your mind because of my presence. You will still choose the safest marriage, the most secure life, that is to say, you actually subconsciously told yourself from the beginning, I am just a passerby who has passed through your life for a short time, and I will eventually leave. ”
Bai Lu's hand held the phone tightly, and her knuckles were a little white.
She wanted to say no, no, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
Isn't that so? Isn't that really what he says?
Ning Haochen also asked her, "Bai Lu, what do you think of me?"
What should you be?boyfriend?bed partner?good friend who solves lonely times?Or is it a good partner who shares your heart and solves your physical needs by the way?
In the end, Ning Haochen said lightly: "I think we can be separated for a while and think about each other, lest I push you too hard and you will get tired of me." ”
Bai Lu just sat on the bed in a daze, listening to his unilateral decision, and his heart slowly sank.
Temporarily separated.
Think about it.
Tired of him.
Every word is like a knife poked into the heart, aren't these the words she only says when she breaks up in those soap operas she loves to watch?
The night was quiet, and finally, the night breeze was sent into his ears by his voice: "Bai Lu, good night." ”
For the first time, he hung up their call first.
This is not his style at all, every time in the past, he would wait for her to hang up the phone first, but from the second he made his decision, many things changed.
Bai Lu was stunned.
She touched her flat lower abdomen, feeling the life that had no sense of existence, and suddenly felt very cold, the room was empty, and she was horribly lonely alone.
Maybe he was really right, she just didn't want to be lonely, she just coveted the good he gave, she was so selfishly by his side, hoping to fall in love with a good person who didn't ask for anything in return, and then abandon him fiercely.
But now that he was willing to leave on his own, why did she start to feel uncomfortable?
It was a sleepless night for both of them.
The author has something to say: What is unexpected!?hahaha, it is to suddenly come out of the joy of not getting out!
Ah, I've written so much today, and the whole person is not good, and I am extremely happy to think that you are dumbfounded when you see this!
I just stopped here on purpose╮(╯▽╰)╭Do you love me? Do you want to strangle me?
Anyway, I love you so much now!
Tomorrow's tenth chapter strives to end this story happily, hahahaha, go to sleep happily!
Mua, everyone, have a good night's sleep and love you!
