"Sister Ji, Mayor Gu is back in G City today......" In the evening, when getting off work, Su Xiaonuan walked in while Ji Xinyao was cleaning up her desk, seemingly waiting for her to get off work together, but in fact she was looking for an opportunity to say this.

Ji Xinyao's hand that was cleaning up the desk paused slightly, and she raised her eyes and glanced at the small warm cover.

Xiao Nuan knew that for so long, she didn't want to mention anything about Gu Nancy, so she had to say: "Sister Ji, when a person can't face a person's name calmly, it means that you still have deep feelings for this person, although I don't know what you and Mayor Gu divorced for, but since it is rare for him to come back from Z City, do you want to ......?"

Ji Xinyao didn't speak, just silently packed up the things on the desk.

"Xiao Nuan, love is not enough, there are many times it is not just pain, it can also teach you a lot of things, for example, how to face the problems of life, how to overcome your mood." When she left after work, Ji Xinyao said this to her, and then took a taxi to leave.

After getting off work, she didn't go home directly, but went to Beidou Avenue, bought two sets of cute and comfortable children's clothes and toys suitable for one-year-old children, and walked back with large bags and small bags.

By the time she returned to Nippori, it was already completely dark, because the street lights in the neighborhood had been renovated recently, and only a few were lit and the lights were dim, and she tried to look ahead, trying to speed her pace.

And in front of the small two-story building where she lives, there is a black Land Rover that she is familiar with.

Land Rover didn't turn on the headlights and parked quietly under her window.

She was still squinting hard, but she couldn't see the license plate number clearly, but when she saw that it was a Land Rover, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Could it be him?

Is he back? Is it that he wants to come and see the child? How could he give her a call? Even if it is a divorce, if it is him Gu Nancy who wants to come back to see the child, she will definitely not turn it away, with his temperament, how can he come back without making a phone call? She stood under the dim street lamp in the neighborhood and looked down at her phone, but there were no missed calls on it.

So she simply put away her phone, walked over, glanced sideways at the license plate number of the car, and finally saw the familiar number through the light reflected in the window of her house.

She instinctively looked at it at the same time, it was dark in the car, and she couldn't see anyone's figure, she looked around suspiciously, didn't he inform her, and now he has entered the house?

She still remembered the way he had left more than a year ago, because for the first time she had been forced on such a merciless and unsparing hunger strike, his words when he left, the expression on his face, as if he didn't want to see her again in this life, never to see her again in his life, never to see each other again in his life.

But now he is back here, suddenly back here, Ji Xinyao doesn't know how to describe his current mood, people's minds are always going around in circles, and people's feelings are always rising to a position that even he can't understand at a special time for no reason, such as you, like me, like him.

She glanced at the large bag she was carrying, stood outside the door and thought about it for a long time before she was about to take out the key to open the door and walk in.

Before she could take out the key, the door of the Land Rover over there opened, Gu Nancy stepped down from the car, and under the reflection of the lights in the car, I saw his face calm as usual, looking at her with dark eyes.

She froze and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

He slammed the door shut, and for a moment the surroundings fell into darkness, just as between them, and then the whole thing fell into silence.

"Came back so late?" He said, his voice slightly hoarse.

"I just got paid in the past two days, and I got off work early today, so I went to buy some toys and new clothes for my children." She answered truthfully.

"I'm sorry, Xin Yao, I didn't come back this year, I just wanted to come and see the child, and it won't disturb your life." Suddenly, all the lights in the neighborhood were bright, and she could finally see his face clearly, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he had drunk too much, but he was still sober.

How could she not know that he wanted to see the child, every time Gu Zhanzhong wanted to come to see the child, Shi Fang turned Gu Zhanzhong away, and although Sister Qin was dismissed, Xin Yao was still a little polite because of the memory and Sister Qin, Sister Qin would come to Nippori almost every two months to help her take care of the child for two days, every time she came, Sister Qin always secretly carried a camera in her bag, she always knew that Sister Qin took the child's photo to Gu Nancy, but she didn't expose it quietly.

"It's okay, you're Xuran and Youran's father, I have no reason not to let you see your child." Xin Yao replied hurriedly, but her voice was a little choked.

Gu Nancy nodded, locked the car, and walked over, just about to enter the door with her, the familiar smell on his body invaded, Ji Xinyao endured the trembling of his hands, and went to pick up the key, but he was inexplicably excited for a while, and the packaging bag in his other hand was about to fall.

She hurriedly leaned down to grab on, under her feet

The heel of her shoe suddenly stabbed awkwardly into the cobblestone gap under her feet, and she frowned, and she couldn't help but plant it down.

Gu Nancy stepped forward, supported her, and at the moment when she was about to say thank you, she took her into her arms regardless of her stunnedness.

This package, her heart instantly softened to a mess, I don't know whether to push away or what, just silently let him hold it, bury her face in his arms, breathe in the smell of her love on him, rub her nose against his chest, can't help but lean closer to him, in my heart, there is too much reluctance.

"Nancy, I'm sorry......" she whispered, "you must hate me." ”

But the road of life, has chosen a fork in the road, even if reluctant, even if sad, after all, it is their own choice, no one can complain, this year her deep pressure of missing has been turned into her love for Xu Ran and leisurely, put all her body and mind on the two children, so as not to let her think too much.

"Xin Yao, why are we doing this? Now that you're married, shouldn't you go on hand in hand? No matter what you're facing? If you can't let go of what your grandfather and father did because of your mother's death, is this year enough time for you to get out of those uncontrollable feelings? You don't have to apologize, you're not wrong, it's me, I can't always be sensible, everyone has feelings, if you don't have a little reflection of the cause of your mother's death, then you won't be you. But it's been a year, if you can't get out, then let's go to the United States, two years, three years, five years, ten years, one day we will let go, you have nightmares, I will accompany you, you miss your mother, I will accompany you to the cemetery to see her, let me heal all the damage caused by your grandfather's mistakes in the past 20 years, give me this chance, okay? ”

Ji Xinyao lay in his arms, speechless.

He put it next to her ear and kissed her ear lightly: "It's been a year, I'll give you a year to calm down alone, now, now that I'm back, let's get together again, even if it's one more day, it's good, Xin Yao, don't leave me, it's really uncomfortable." ”

He whispered in his ear, and then, at the moment when Xin Yao couldn't cry, he suddenly held her face, leaned down to find her lips, and kissed her hard.

The bag in her hand fell on the lawn at her feet, and tears spread in the mouths of the two of them, salty and bitter.

But the strength of his hugging of her made her almost breathless, but instinctively returned to hug him, and choked up in the interval between exchanging breaths: "Nancy...... Sorry ......"

And every time she cried and said these words, it was exchanged for a deeper kiss from him.

The body was surrounded by familiar warmth, this feeling of attachment made her whole person's willpower finally collapse, she tried hard to return her hand to hug him tighter, but only felt that the front of her was getting more and more empty, until she suddenly found that there was no one around her.

She opened her eyes and looked at the empty Qiqi in front of her in amazement, there was no Land Rover, no Gu Nancy......

She froze as she looked at her raised arm......

……

Suddenly, Ji Xinyao opened her eyes from her sleep, but found that she was sitting in a taxi that had just stopped from Beidou Avenue, and the car was still moving steadily and was close to the sunset.

It turned out to be just a dream.

She raised her hand, stroked her forehead, and frowned.

Since Xu Ran and Youran spoke out, because she put all her energy on work and her two children, she didn't have time to think about other things, so she no longer dreamed of those bloody nightmares when her mother committed suicide, and she rarely dreamed in the past few months, she was woken up by the two children at night, coaxed the children to sleep, and then fell asleep again, she has not dreamed for a long time.

Got out of the car and walked into the community, the lights in the community were still dim, she walked forward, and when she walked back to the front of the house, she deliberately glanced at the position in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was no car.

She couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, after Mayor Gu was transferred to Province A, he was busy with provincial government affairs and the mayor of Z City at the same time, and he was busy all day, and he would suddenly return to G City this time, I am afraid that it was also because of the cooperation project between Z City and G City, it was rare to come in person, of course he would not have time to come here, even if he wanted to see the child, he would not let her know.

Whether it is the photos that Sister Qin secretly took or Sister Qin occasionally comes over to help take care of her, she will always find an opportunity to push the stroller out to buy vegetables, who she has seen with her children, Ji Xinyao has never asked deeply.

The warmth that existed invisibly had long been withdrawn from her life, dreams were just dreams, and once in reality, no one was so fragile.

Ji Xinyao came home, hugged each other's arms who were sitting on the small bed and grabbed each other's arms and giggled non-stop Xu Ran and leisurely, after trying on the clothes for them, she disinfected and cleaned the toys and put them on their small beds, and then she was cooking and washing clothes, and she was busy with everything, and it was late at night.

Before going to bed, she took a bath and drank the milk that Shi Fang handed her, and then she sat on the edge of the small beds of the two children, looking down at the sleeping faces of the two cute little things.

Xu Ran is a little fatter than Youran, the two babies are white and clean little faces, eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Gu Nancy, they are all very good-looking double eyelids, I don't know how many times better than the baby in those baby milk powder advertisements on TV, Xu Ran is more like Gu Nancy, but the leisurely nose and mouth are very similar to Xin Yao, the little girl has to gnaw her brother's fat little hands before she is willing to sleep honestly every time she sleeps, and every time Xu Ran is gnawed by her sister, she doesn't say a word, just looks at her with a smile, The two little things are cute and well-behaved, and they rarely get sick, which is the greatest comfort for Xin Yao.

I like to gnaw my brother's hand before I go to bed leisurely, and my sleeping hand always puts my chubby little arms and calves on Xu Ran's body from time to time, and I treat my brother as a doll pillow.

But these two little things can sleep fragrantly, and the previous month often wakes up hungry and crying in the middle of the night, and now he can sleep until early in the morning.

After looking at the child for a while, Ji Xinyao turned off the light and went back to bed to sleep.

*******************************************************************************************

A month later, the plan for a large-scale institutional building in the cooperation between G City and Z City began to be officially implemented, and Ji Xinyao often went to the construction exhibition in G City to shoot the scene and models.

This year is a year of frequent natural disasters in various provinces and cities, such as the typhoon in City C at the end of June, the flood in Yunshi in July, and the magnitude 6 earthquake in Province S.

The staff of the government affairs report are busy every day with the names of the compatriots who died and the letters of condolence sent out by the media from all directions.

Until, at the beginning of August, the area of province A was hit hard by an earthquake of a more severe magnitude, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake, very close to the surface, and the epicenter was in the city of Z.

It takes more than an hour to reach by plane from another province in between G, and G, which felt a strong shaking on the day of the earthquake.

That day, Ji Xinyao was sitting in the office reviewing the news report, suddenly, the water cup on the table kept shaking, and when she reflected, she hurriedly asked the colleagues in the office to quickly drive out of the building, everyone hurriedly ran out, ran downstairs to the company, and saw many people running out of many office buildings nearby, everyone's faces were a little pale, and they were almost frightened by the earthquake disasters that have often occurred in China in recent years.

Although the earthquake in G City was not too strong, Xin Yao still took a taxi home as soon as she ran out, and she was relieved to see that Xiu Li had already rushed over first and picked up Shi Fang and Xu Ran leisurely.

And just when all the citizens of G City were relieved because of the small shock, the company was afraid that the company would not be able to work normally today, and Xin Yao simply stayed at home with the children.

The TV is habitually parked on the news station, Xiao Youran leans on the sofa, rolling around dishonestly, Xu Ran has just peed, Xin Yao is giving him clean pants, and suddenly hears a piece of news on the TV.

"At 12:17 p.m. today, the 7.6 magnitude earthquake in Z City, Province A, at present, the provincial government of A has quickly launched rescue operations, the number of casualties has not been counted, and the earthquake was felt strongly in the five surrounding provinces and cities in the country, and it is reported that most of the main roads to Z City have collapsed for most ......"

Z City!

Ji Xinyao raised her eyes suddenly, staring directly at the TV.

"Yaoyao? What's wrong? Shi Fang took a new pack of diapers from the bedroom, intending to put them next to the sofa in case of emergency, but as soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she suddenly saw Ji Xinyao put Xu Ran, who had changed her pants, on the sofa, and hurriedly packed her things as if she was leaving.

"Yaoyao?"

"Aunt Shi, please help me take care of Xu Ran and Youran for two days, I'm going to go on a long trip!" Ji Xinyao packed a small amount of luggage and clothes without raising her head, and then walked around the living room twice, for fear that she would leave something important.

Shi Fang's gaze was also diverted by the picture being played on the TV, looking at the subtitles on the TV, Shi Fang frowned: "Earthquake in Z City? No wonder the tremor is so strong on our side today, I didn't expect it to be so strict. ”

Xin Yao didn't say anything, just packed up her things and turned around to hug the two children, and kissed them a few times on the face: "Xu Ran is leisurely and well-behaved, my mother is going out for two days, I must be well-behaved, don't let my mother worry, okay?" ”

The two little things instinctively kissed her back, Xin Yao comforted her, got up and was about to leave.

"Yaoyao! Z city is the epicenter! It's the central point! It's too dangerous for you to go over! Shi Fang stopped her, her eyes were stern.

But Ji Xinyao just paused, walked out without looking back, and quickly stopped a taxi to the airport.

I don't know if the plane can go directly to Z city now, or if she has to transfer to the adjacent city, no matter what, she must go over!
