73. Missing

"Cheeky ......" Nan Xi laughed at him, "I really have something serious to tell you, Zhao Xinyao went to the company today, she was going to look for you, but you weren't there, so she went to my office and sat in my office for a while......"

"Oh? What does she ask you for? Lu Zaiyuan frowned.

"After a few small talks, she told me that Xiaohe's paintings are very spiritual, and she appreciates them very much, and she has a friend who is an independent curator and wants to introduce them to me and help push Xiaohe's paintings out."

After listening to her, Lu Zaiyuan immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "She's so kind? Don't trust her. ”

"I also pondered for a day, Zhao Xinyao is such an arrogant person, I have some unpleasantness with her, she is suddenly so attentive, is it because Xiaohe's paintings are really good? Or is there some other reason? Nanxi felt that it was a good thing that someone was willing to help push Xiaohe's paintings, but this person was Zhao Xinyao, and she always felt that something was wrong.

Lu Zaiyuan waved his hand and replied to her: "The people of their family are not trustworthy, and Xiaohe's painting must not be handed over to her." ”

Nanxi hesitated: "But...... Just introduce a curator, take a look at Xiaohe's paintings, there shouldn't be anything boring, right? ”

Lu Zaiyuan stretched out his hand across the table and pinched the tip of Nanxi's nose: "You have to listen to what I say!" If you want to help Xiaohe realize his dream of being a painter, leave this matter to me. ”

"You? Do you have any experience in this area? Nanxi looked at him with suspicion.

"I have no experience, but I know friends in this area, and when I'm busy for a while, I'll send Xiaohe's painting back to England and find someone to help me look at it, if it's really valuable, I'll personally operate this thing, and I'll help you fulfill this wish, okay?" Lu Zaiyuan said to her very seriously.

Nanxi was really happy to listen to him. She stood up, walked around the dining table, walked to Lu Zaiyuan's side, pulled a chair and sat down, leaned closer to Lu Zaiyuan, and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, husband, it's good to have you, you have a support for everything, so reassuring!" ”

Lu Zaiyuan heard her say this, and was eating wontons, when he suddenly turned his head and kissed her on the lips: "If your mouth is always so sweet, chase me every day and call your husband, let me be willing to be a cow and a horse for you." ”

Nan Xi licked his lips and frowned: "It's all wonton flavor, you're too unparticular." ”

Lu picked up the bowl in the distance and fed her a wonton directly: "You still dare to dislike me?" Do you eat the ravioli I've eaten? ”

Nanxi took it, chewed it, shook his head and exclaimed: "Who cooked this wonton, why is it so delicious?" ”

Lu Zaiyuan glared at her and learned her tone: "What a thick skin......"

Nanxi smiled, put her chin on his shoulder, blew into his ear, and coquettishly played with him.

Lu Zaiyuan was blown by her to itch his ears, and his heart was also itchy. He swallowed the wontons in the bowl in three or two bites, turned around and picked up Nanxi, and walked outside the restaurant.

Nanxi kicked his legs: "You go rinse your mouth first, otherwise you won't be allowed to kiss me for a while." ”

Lu Zaiyuan didn't listen to her, and stepped to the sofa in a few steps, threw her on the sofa, and pressed her: "It will take time to rinse your mouth, I can't wait......"

With that, he kissed her on the lips.

Nanxi sighed twice, and did not struggle seriously. Although the kiss smelled of ravioli, she was still happy.

The two of them were entangled on the sofa, and then they tossed to the floor, and then from the floor of the living room, tossed to Nanxi's bed, until the end, the two of them went into the bathroom to shower, and Lu Zaiyuan pushed Nanxi to the wall again, and fell in love fiercely.

In the end, Nanxi was picked up by him from the bathroom, and when he put it on the bed, he was already crispy and nestled in his arms, so tired that he didn't want to move.

"What's wrong with you tonight?" Nanxi ran her fingers in circles on his chest and spoke to him softly.

"Am I not good at watching? Are you not satisfied? Do you want to do it again? As Lu Zaiyuan spoke, he stretched out his hand into her arms.

"Don't!" Nanxi stopped him with a smile, "I didn't say that you didn't look good, just because you were too brave, I'm very strange, when you entered the house just now, I still looked like you were tired." ”

Lu Zaiyuan's hand slipped down from her chest, put his arms around her waist, and hugged her: "No matter how tired I am outside, as long as I go home and see you, I am very happy." What's more, I just ate the love supper you cooked with your own hands, and it was a great replenishment, hehe......"

Nanxi pressed his face to his chest and sighed contentedly: "Curly hair, I love you so much." ”

"I love you too." The road is far away from her.

Nanxi was tired from tossing, and as he spoke, his eyelids closed together. In a hazy sleep, she thought: How happy it is to sleep in his arms like this.

As soon as her mind was confused, she felt that Lu Zaiyuan pushed her: "Xiaoxi ......"

"What's the matter?" Nanxi's lips couldn't be opened, and he snorted with his nose.

"Tomorrow morning...... Let's go and get the river back. Lu Zaiyuan said.

"Pick up ...... Why? Doctor Zhou said that Xiaohe will be better with Deng Jiaxiang now, she just settled down over there and got her back, so it's not good" Because she was too sleepy, Nanxi didn't think much about it, and talked to Lu Zaiyuan, and the person had already entered a state ......of semi-sleep.

"So...... Early tomorrow morning, the two of us will go to Pei's house to see her......" Lu said again.

"Oh......" Nanxi's consciousness was no longer clear, and he responded casually, "I just went there yesterday...... The Pei family is not ordinary people...... Even if it's because of the river, it's not good to always go, let's talk about it on the weekend......"

After she said this, she began to snore softly.

Lu Zaiyuan was far away but did not feel sleepy, watching her sleep peacefully, concentrating for a long time.

It wasn't until she fell asleep that he got up and got out of bed, went upstairs lightly, entered his bedroom, and closed the door......

The next morning, Nanxi woke up from her sleep and saw Lu Zaiyuan sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her face in a daze.

She rubbed her eyes: "What are you doing?" Wake up so early and don't sleep a little longer? ”

"I've made breakfast, I want to wake you up, see you sleep soundly, and I don't want to wake you up." Lu Zaiyuan reached out and brushed the hair on her forehead, leaned down and kissed her on the face.

Nanxi put her arms around his neck and lied to him for a while before he got up from the bed and washed his face and brushed his teeth.

When she got dressed and came to the restaurant, Lu Zaiyuan had already set up breakfast.

She was drinking porridge when she suddenly remembered something and said to him, "By the way, I'm going to come to the company a little earlier today and have a meeting with them." I heard that recently I have been digging people from far away and have reached out to our company, so I have to hold a meeting to give a few words of advice to stabilize people's hearts. ”

"Don't worry, the meeting can be opened in the afternoon, and we will go to Pei's house to see the river in the morning." Lu Zaiyuan said.

"Go to Pei's house?" Nanxi was stunned, "I just went there the day before yesterday, and it's not good to always go to other people's homes, right?" ”

When Lu Zaiyuan talked about it last night, she was already unconscious, so she didn't remember it at all. This morning she looked up at him, wondering why he suddenly remembered to see the river.

Lu Zaiyuan lowered his head and stirred the porridge in the bowl and said, "What's the use of you wanting this kind of face?" If they don't want to, we'll take the river back. ”

"What's wrong with you?" Listening to his tone as if he was angry, Nanxi couldn't help but wonder.

"No, Xiaohe himself is at their house, I am always a little uneasy, Deng Jiaxiang is not very reliable, although the Pei family will not bully a sick little girl, but they will definitely not treat their family like that." Lu Zaiyuan was talking, and a melancholy was faintly visible between his eyebrows.

He was so worried about Xiaohe, Nanxi was very moved. But she still felt that Nanhe followed Deng Jiaxiang to live in Pei's house, which was already causing trouble to others, and if she went to visit every day, it seemed that she didn't trust others.

But Lu Zaiyuan insisted on going there, and she followed him. After all, she is more concerned about Xiaohe than she is far away.

After breakfast, Lu Zaiyuan drove away, drove Nanxi, and went to Pei's house.

At eight o'clock, they arrived at Pei's house, opened the door, and did not disturb the master, and went directly to the small courtyard where Xiaohe lived.

As soon as she arrived at the door, Nanxi heard the aunt who took care of Xiaohe chattering: "Miss Peng, are you going to sit on a stone statue?" Listen to my advice, is it okay to enter the house? Mr. Deng will be back soon......"

Nanxi hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

I saw Nanxi sitting under the old plane tree in the courtyard, with a thick quilt on his body, his eyes were red, his eyes were blank, and he was looking at the courtyard gate fixedly.

The moment Nanxi pushed the door open, her body jumped. But when she saw that it was Nanxi who walked in, she sat back on her chair and continued to stare at the courtyard door.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Nanxi was taken aback.

When the aunt saw Nanxi, she was flustered at first, and then sighed: "You're here?" You can persuade Miss Xiaohe, Mr. Deng did not come back last night, and he did not come back early this morning. In the past, if Mr. Deng had something, he would call Miss Xiaohe at night, and when she heard Mr. Deng's voice, she would be able to sleep peacefully. But last night...... Until now, Mr. Deng has not returned home and his phone calls have not been called. Miss Xiaohe sat here all the time, refusing to sleep, eat, or go back to the house. ”

"She sat like this all night?" Nanxi watched her sister curl up on the chair, feeling very distressed.

"yes." The aunt lowered her head guiltily, "I can't persuade her, pull her into the house, she just held the chair and didn't let go, I had no choice, so I hugged a quilt for her to wrap on my body." ”

"Have you eaten?" Nanxi walked over and held his sister's hand, cold.

"No, from last night to now, not a drop of water has entered." The aunt sighed in embarrassment.

Nanxi bent down, touched her sister's head, and called her: "Xiaohe, I'm my sister, can you go back to the house with me?" It's cold outside and you're going to catch a cold. ”

Xiaohe blinked, glanced at her, and fixed his gaze on the courtyard door.

Nanxi turned his head and beckoned to Lu Zaiyuan: "You carry Xiaohe back to the house, you can't let her sit like this all the time, I'll call Deng Jiaxiang." ”

Lu Zaiyuan walked over and reached out to hug Nanhe.

Nan Xi was holding his mobile phone, about to make a call to Deng Jiaxiang, when he suddenly heard Nan He burst into a scream. She turned her head to look, only to see Nanhe clutching the chair with both hands, his eyes were full of fear, and he tensed his body and struggled with Lu Zaiyuan, saying that he would dare not let him pick him up.

The aunt spread her hands and said to Nanxi: "Look, she is like this, I pulled her last night, and she was also screaming, and she refused to enter the house." ”

Lu Zai was too excited to see Nanhe, so he put her back. Nanhe sat back in his chair and stopped screaming, but his hands were still gripping the armrests of the chair and shrunk into the quilt vigorously.

Nanxi felt sorry for her sister, she was angry and anxious, so she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Deng Jiaxiang's number.

As a result, a standard tone came from the other end of the phone: "Sorry, the phone you are calling is turned off......"

Shutdown?!

Nanxi gritted his teeth and almost dropped the phone out!

But no matter how painful her heart is, she can't blame others. After all, my sister was entrusted to Deng Jiaxiang to take care of, and she was the one who was responsible for her sister. Sister is like this, she can only blame herself.

She looked at her sister's haggard face and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Lu Zaiyuan reminded her: "Ask Dr. Zhou for a phone, maybe Dr. Zhou has a way to get Xiaohe back into the house." ”

Nanxi woke up suddenly and hurriedly called Dr. Zhou. Dr. Zhou heard about the situation and promised to drive over immediately.

Nanxi instructed her aunt to bring hot water and scrub Xiaohe's face, hands and feet. Then she walked towards the gate of the courtyard: "I'll ask their family where Deng Jiaxiang went." ”

As soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, before she could stretch out her hand, she saw Pei Jiaoqian walking along the road outside the courtyard.

Nanxi opened the courtyard door, waited for her to walk in, and asked, "Miss Jiaoqian, where is Deng Jiaxiang?" ”

Pei Jiaoqian frowned: "I still want to ask you, if you don't go home all night, and the phone is turned off, where did he go wild?" ”

"You ask me? How could I possibly know? "Nanxi is so innocent.

Pei Jiaoqian snorted: "How could you not know?" Didn't he worship you as a goddess? Doesn't he have to kneel for you when he has anything to do? His whereabouts, I don't know normal, you don't know...... Impossible, right? ”

Lu Zaiyuan heard her say this, and came over and said: "Xiaoxi didn't want to inquire about your husband's whereabouts, because he didn't come over last night, and he didn't make a phone call, Xiaohe has been sitting here, refusing to eat or sleep." Xiaoxi wanted Deng Jiaxiang to call Xiaohe and persuade her to eat and sleep. ”

Pei Jiaoqian glanced at Nanhe, shook her head and said, "Alas...... Poor little sister, I despair of such a bastard. ”

"You really don't know where Deng Jiaxiang went?" The road is far away.

"If I knew, would I have come to you again?" Pei Jiaoqian brushed her hair, "Forget it, don't care about him, he can do whatever he likes, it's better never to come back, hum!" ”

After saying that, she shook her head and went out of the yard.

Nanxi stood there, a little stunned. No matter how dissatisfied she is with Deng Jiaxiang, she knows one thing that Deng Jiaxiang treats Xiaohe very carefully.

Why did he completely leave the river alone?

Don't...... What happened to him?

Half an hour later, Dr. Chow arrived.

At that time, Nanhe had been sitting under the old plane tree outside the house all night, his eyes were red, his face was pale, and he was haggard.

Dr. Zhou had no choice but to sedate her, and after the effect of the drug had taken effect, she finally closed her sleepy eyes and leaned into her chair.

Lu Zaiyuan carried her into the house, and Nanxi followed up, guarding her sister's bedside, frowning.

She asked Dr. Zhou, "Dr. Zhou, you have been saying that Xiaohe's condition is gradually improving, but why is she still like this?" She didn't listen to a word of what I said, as long as Deng Jiaxiang wasn't by her side, she would become like this, what the hell is going on? You know, I can't keep Deng Jiaxiang with her. ”

Dr. Zhou looked at the sleeping Nanhe and said, "Xiaoxi, I understand your feelings, family members are often anxious, and always hope that the patient will get better soon." But in fact, autism is not a mental illness that can be cured quickly, and Xiaohe's recovery requires a long-term process, and you have to be patient. ”

Hearing the doctor say this, Lu Zaiyuan said on the side: "Since it is a long-term process, I think we should take Xiaohe home, we can't always let Xiaohe live in someone else's house, this is not right." ”

Nanxi also felt that he was reasonable, so she asked Dr. Zhou: "Doctor Zhou, look at the current situation, Xiaohe can't be by my side, I really can't rest assured, I'll take her home, okay?" ”

"Take it home?" Dr. Zhou's eyes flickered, "After taking her home, can Mr. Deng visit her as often as before?" ”

"I'm afraid not, some time ago, the photos of him in and out of my house were exposed on the Internet, which had a very bad impact on the Pei family, I think it is impossible for Mrs. Pei to let him go to my house again." Nanxi replied truthfully.

"Then ......" Doctor Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "I'd better leave Xiaohe here, she is still very dependent on Mr. Deng now, and she has just become familiar with the living environment here, and it is not good for her to change the environment frequently, not to mention that when she returns home, it will be difficult for her to see Mr. Deng, and I am afraid that her love will be difficult to control at that time." ”

"What will happen?" Dilemma, Nanxi is so troubled.

"Just like today, you see it." Dr. Zhou spread his hands.

Lu Zaiyuan frowned: "Xiaoxi, I think we still have to try it and take Xiaohe home, maybe at the beginning, she will be sad, and slowly get used to it, maybe she will not be able to accept the reality of not being able to see Deng Jiaxiang." ”

Nanxi also really wants to take Nanhe home, like this situation, if it is at home, she can't let Nanhe sit outside the house all night, and she can't fit her eyes all night.

But here, except for Deng Jiaxiang, who cares about Nanhe, there is only the one who takes care of her. Auntie neither called her nor called the doctor last night, presumably because she was afraid of trouble and was afraid of being taught a lesson by Deng Jiaxiang, thinking that as long as Deng Jiaxiang came back, she would be fine.

In this world, only she, the sister who is close to her flesh and blood, will be in pain in her heart because her sister does not sleep or eat all night.

She turned to look at Dr. Zhou: "Dr. Zhou, can I take her home and give it a try?" ”
