Two days after Wang Cailian was discharged from the hospital, the National Day holiday ended, and Chen Chi had to go back to work.

He is busy at both ends now, his parents are worried all the time, he wants to move to find a new place to live, the agent will ask him to see the house to be rented for a while, and ask him to see the house for sale for a while, Chen Chi will not have time to solve dinner on the road after work, so he will meet with the agent and go around.

On Saturday morning, Chen Chi was at home, and although the house had not yet been found, he was ready to start packing.

He walked around the room, stunned for a moment.

Since Xu Shuang left, Chen Chi has lived alone in this house, leaving early and returning late, and slowly seems to have passed down. There were still traces of her in the furnishings of the room, and he had hardly touched it, as if he was living in a pile of organs, consciously constricting his range of activities, and only sitting and living in the necessary space.

The traces of life left by Xu Shuangchuan have been with him for a few months, and this morning, Chen Chi opened the cabinet and checked them one by one, and it was very clear and forced in front of him.

Xu Shuang left him a lot of things. Those pots and pans are of all kinds, some of them were given by the mother-in-law, and some were added by her one after another. There were lots and lots of quilts in the cupboard, and her handwritten labels were attached to the vacuum bags. Those curtain tablecloth cushions, but I don't know which ones were provided by the landlord, which ones she bought, only by asking her can I know.

Chen Chi didn't pack a single one. Turn it on, close it silently, and in the morning, he'll just do that.

On the inside of the chest of drawers he found a receipt from the dry cleaner with one jacket for one for each man and a woman, and the date of pick-up was in June.

In June, they divorced, and she was willing to wash his clothes.

Chen Chi stared at the gray stripe, estimating the date and remembering what they were doing that day, quarreling? Cold War? It seemed to be his working day, he was at work, she didn't know what she was doing at home, since she resigned from Gu Yiwei's company, she often disappeared during the day, and he couldn't control it at all.

Chen Chi lost his mind for a moment, and then wanted to throw the note in the trash. He took two steps, his heart moved, he looked down and looked closely, the voucher should have been returned to the laundry, and now it was still in the drawer, could it be that Xu Shuang forgot to pick up the clothes?

The doorbell jingled and rang.

Chen Chi raised his head suddenly, at this moment, he almost thought that Xu Shuangchuan had just come back to pick up his clothes. She has a good memory, she always remembers, she does things from beginning to end, and she must come over to get a note when she remembers.

The doorbell continued to jingle and rattle. Chen Chi stepped out, and immediately remembered that he had ordered lunch takeout in the morning, and indicated that it would be delivered after eleven o'clock, and at this time, it was probably the takeaway delivery.

He took a breath and went to open the door.

Outside the door, Lu Qing smiled. Tender yellow big lapel tights with a dark camel wool short skirt, a short coat on the outside, small leather boots with slender legs, and a cardboard box in his hand, like a whole box of fruit sold in the fruit wholesale market, as if he was a visitor, with shining eyebrows: "Brother Chen, you are at home." ”

"Oh......" Chen Chi was stunned and quickly pulled a smile.

Lu Qing smiled enthusiastically and reservedly: "I used to have a roommate who asked me to come out to do something, just nearby, after the thing was done, she gave me a box of kiwifruit, how can I eat so much alone, I just want to come and see, if you are at home, I will give it to you, so I don't have to carry it back so much." ”

"I don't, oh, I don't eat much fruit, you eat it yourself. Chen Chi was really surprised, and he was a little speechless.

"You don't eat much fruit? Fruit should be eaten often, it's good for your health." Lu Qing's eyes widened with a smile, and she complained to herself coquettishly, "My phone is out of battery, otherwise I will call in advance and ask if you want it." Brother Chen, I've brought it up, you can take a little bit, I'll bring it back a little lighter. ”

Chen Chi looked at Lu Qing, who was holding up the fruit carton outside the door and smiled slightly, paused for a second, took a step back towards the door, and said with a smile: "Please come in, please come in." ”

Lu Qing's dimples deepened, and her smile became more and more flattering. Stepping into the threshold, his chin lifted at a fifteen-degree angle, his face tilted slightly, and he looked at the ceiling of the entrance, and his gaze extended to the empty living room. Suddenly touching Chen Chi's gaze, he pursed his lips, like a jerky guest.

"Do you want to take off your shoes?"

"No, no, just come in. Chen Chi said, realizing that he was dressed very lightly and casually, with bare feet and calves, and only wore a home gray T-shirt and black and blue shorts. He glanced at himself, and then raised his eyes, Lu Qing had taken off his small leather boots, revealing a pair of feet, wearing thin cotton socks with a bare complexion, standing on the ground pretty, glancing at the shoe rack with low eyebrows, looking slightly embarrassed, as if waiting for the master's arrangement.

There were only Chen Chi's leather shoes and large slippers on the shoe rack.

Xu Shuangchuan took all her clothes that day, walked behind Chen Chi when she went out, and even took away her slippers in bags after changing her shoes. Chen Chi was full of coldness at the time, waiting outside the door and not seeing it, and slowly it took a few days to wake up to this.

He also specially rummaged through the shoe cabinet, Xu Shuangchuan did not even leave him slippers.

However, even if her slippers are still there, he will only put them away, and it is impossible for others to wear them, so she is not obsessed with these.

"Daisy, you really don't have to take off your shoes, my floor is dirty and cold. ”

"It's fine. Lu Qing raised her eyebrows, smiled at the bottom of her eyes, didn't care, stepped on her socks lightly and walked in, as if she had learned the dance skills of Swan Lake between the ups and downs.

"The kiwi is put here first. Chen Chi pointed to the table and said politely, "I'm sorry, it's a bit messy at home, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

He hurried into the kitchen, and when he saw the messy sink and the little pot of hot milk on the stove, he remembered that he hadn't boiled the water today. Chen Chi turned around and wanted to open the refrigerator, but saw Lu Qing follow to the kitchen door with the corners of his mouth curled.

"Oh, there's no hot water, do you have an ice drink?" he said embarrassedly.

"Brother Chen, don't be busy. Lu Qing bent her eyebrows.

Chen Chi opened the refrigerator and then closed it again. His fridge was empty, only milk. "I don't have any drinks, so I'd better boil water. ”

Lu Qing sneered: "Brother Chen, don't be busy, I'm not thirsty." She said playfully, "If you're thirsty, don't you have ready-made kiwi?"

"Oh, yes. Chen Chi chuckled and nodded, and beckoned, "Daisy, then you go to the living room and sit for a while." ”

Lu Qing returned to the table and sat down, with her knees and her calves leaning back, very ladylike. A pair of eyes looked at Chen Chi, flickering and smart.

Chen Chi pulled away the chair opposite him, sat down as well, and looked at her with his eyebrows raised.

Lu Qing was silent for no reason, then opened her mouth and asked, "Is Auntie better?"

"It's a little better. Now I am recuperating at home, and the stitches have been removed. ”

"The result of that cyst ......" Lu Qing asked cautiously, and her body couldn't help leaning forward, her face full of concern.

"The post-operative lab report came out yesterday and there was nothing wrong. Chen Chi exhaled and said with a smile, "Daisy, thank you for your continued concern." ”

Since Lu Qing learned that Chen Chi's mother was hospitalized, she has often asked about it these days. When Wang Cailian was hospitalized, she volunteered to be transferred to a single ward through her connections. Although he was about to be discharged from the hospital at that time and did not need to be transferred to the ward, Chen Chi was very grateful. When he came back to the airport, Lu Qing called for condolences as soon as possible, and when he met him in the pantry at work these days, he would also ask about Chen Chi's mother's recent situation. Chen Chi's thank you at this moment was very sincere.

"Brother Chen, don't be polite to me. You've been helping me at work, and I've been helping you with nothing. Lu Qing said softly, "Aunt is recovering well, and everyone is happy." ”

"Hmm. ”

The roses on the table had fallen a layer of ash, and the petals did not look so bright. Chen Chi and Lu Qing sat on one side, separated by the green walnut carton brought by Lu Qing. At the end of a topic, Lu Qing pursed her small dimples, half-lowered her eyelids, glanced at the rose, and asked in a very strange voice: "Hey, this flower is beautiful, is it really fake?" ”

Chen Chi's eyes fell on the flowers, he froze, changed the topic and asked, "Daisie, is the roommate who asked you out today Miss Fang who lived with you for a while last year?"

Lu Qing didn't expect Chen Chi to mention this, her eyes rolled, and she replied, "No." It's a girl I met in a shared house before. She giggled, and explained in great detail and fun, "My roommate, and I have a good relationship, she is going on a blind date today, the person introduced is her leader, it seems that the other party is a relative of the leader, her leader used to introduce that person to another colleague in her unit, it didn't work, it is said that the person is not good, my roommate is not good to refuse the leader openly, so call me over, in case I don't like it, give me a signal, let me go to the rescue and pull her away, so as not to embarrass everyone too much." ”

"That's right. Chen Chi then chatted, "Then how did your roommate go on a blind date, did you need to save the scene?"

The doorbell rang again. Chen Chi guessed that this time it was a takeaway delivery, and he explained: "I'll take a look." He got up and walked to the door, obviously not very nostalgic for the ending of Lu Qing's blind date story.

Lu Qing didn't have to talk anymore, and she didn't have any regrets, she puffed up her dimples, her eyes followed Chen Chi's back, and when he went to open the door, she smiled, turned her head to look at the living room, and glanced at the doors of the two open bedrooms. The mahogany flooring has been laid in, and the inside is even quieter. The glass window of the bedroom must have been open, and the daylight poured in from the outside into the window, pouring into the doorway, meeting the daylight shining in the direction of the living room, and reflecting a smoother light and shadow on the floor at the entrance.

"Big brother, aren't they there?"

Since the next door decoration has changed the door, the residents on this floor have no original doors, and even the painted house number on the door is gone, and occasionally a few novice couriers will knock on the wrong door.

"I don't know, or you knock again. Chen Chi replied, waiting to close the door again, looking sideways in the direction of the living room, there was no sound inside, he paused for some reason, pulled the doorknob and groaned.

There was a squeak next door: "Who?"

"Your package. ”

Other people's answers sounded in the corridor, and Chen Chi tightened his eyes and wrists slightly, and was about to close the door.

"Wait, wait. ”

This time, it was really his lunch delivery.

He accepted it, the takeaway guy turned around and left, the courier brother next door was about to pass through the corridor in front of his door, Chen Chi pulled the door, and then returned to the living room, but saw that Lu Qing was not at the table, and there was a sound of water running in the kitchen.

"Daisy," Chen Chi poked into the kitchen and exclaimed, "How are you ...... Help me wash the dishes?"

At the sink, Lu Qing turned around.
