11. Chapter XI
The short five-day journey passed quickly, Yao Fei had to catch the train back to Gansu at eight o'clock in the evening, and Wu Jin set off at one o'clock in the afternoon to send her to the train station in the city.
Yuan Lu didn't expect this relationship to heat up so quickly, in just a few days, Wu Jin was already like a tail, and Yao Fei followed him wherever he went.
Wu Jin was not ambiguous at all, like a child, obviously everyone could see that Yao Fei was a little embarrassed, and he also shouted "Yao Fei" and "Yao Fei" with a cheeky face built on the city wall.
When Yao Fei left, Lin Mu introduced her to the company's number jΓΉ reporting work, which belonged to the administrative category, and usually wrote monthly and quarterly summary reports in addition to the number jΓΉ, which was not difficult for Yao Fei.
After coming out and even having an eyebrow for work, Yao Fei completely let go of her heart, but as soon as the New Year is over, she has to report to the company immediately to start her internship, and it will take more than ten days before and after the entire winter vacation, but now that Wu Jin is waiting for her in City C, it is not difficult to think about it.
Yuan Lu went back to school directly to sort out the books and some daily necessities and clothes in the dormitory and moved them home, Lin Mu accompanied him all the way, and Yuan Lu took him to G for a long time by the way.
Originally, the two were going to have dinner together, but Aunt Zhang called to remind Yuan Lu to go home early, saying that the family had made beef brisket stew in red wine in the evening, so the plan for the two to have dinner together fell through.
Lin Mu sent Yuan Lu to the door of Qiao's house and asked, "It seems that there will be a junior high school reunion tomorrow night?" β
Yuan Lu remembered this stubble after he asked: "It seems that there is such a thing, in the hall of G University." β
"I may not be able to go, tomorrow's annual leave will be over, the company's large and small affairs are piled together, and it is estimated that I will work overtime late, but if I can catch the end, I will pick you up."
Yuan Lu's ears began to get hot, and he said to pick her up, as if the classmates would be completely irrelevant, and he would only go for her alone.
"Well, contact when the time comes."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Yuan Lu trotted home all the way with her head down, not daring to look back at all, because she felt that the eyes behind her had been watching her. It was only when she turned to close the door that she stole a glance at the figure outside the European-style iron door through the crack in the door.
As she had hoped, he stood still and cast his gaze in this direction, not even the slightest change from the moment he had been apart.
"Heron, what are you looking at through the crack in the door?"
Aunt Zhang jumped out from behind her at some point, and Yuan Lu was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door and said, "It's nothing, see if the door is locked." β
"Why did Nong throw his luggage on the shoe rack, ouch, how dirty the shoes are."
"I know, I'll take it down." Hara Lu humbly took the luggage that he had just thrown casually from the shoe rack.
Yuan Lu felt as if something was missing, his eyes wandered around the room, and finally remembered that something was wrong, and asked, "What about Pony?" Usually when someone comes back, the tail keeps swinging and throwing it straight at the person, why is there no movement today? β
Aunt Zhang's eyebrows twisted, and she said worriedly: "Ouch, I don't know how old this dog is, I vomited a bunch of yellow water when I got up this morning, and I had blood in the afternoon, so Aqi took it to the pet hospital and hasn't come back yet." β
Yuan Lu's heart tightened, and the dog's blood was not a trivial matter, so he hurriedly asked, "Did you eat something bad?" β
"I don't know, the dog food and fish oil I eat as usual, Ah Qi said that I may have been infected with the virus outside."
Yuan Lu was frightened, there was indeed a dog in the neighbor's house that had canine plague and died not long ago, and it was buried in the west corner of Central Park in the community, Yuan Lu knew about it, so he would pay attention to walking the dog around the West Point, she was not at home these days may have been taken out by Qiao Zhengqi for a walk, Pony probably went to the west corner of the park and was infected.
The lifespan of dogs is generally only more than ten years, and nine-year-old dogs are already equivalent to entering the old age of humans, and physiological functions and resistance will naturally decline.
As soon as Yuan Lu took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Qiao Zhengqi, the automatic iron door outside sounded the sound of unlocking, and Qiao Zhengqi drove back.
Yuan Lu ran out wearing slippers, Qiao Zhengqi parked the car in the garage, Yuan Lu saw that Pony did not come back with him, and asked, "Pony is hospitalized?" β
Qiao Zhengqi got out of the car: "If you are infected with canine plague coronavirus, there is a seventy percent chance of early cure if you find it, but there is no guarantee that there will be no sequelae." β
Yuan Lu bit her lip reproachfully: "I should have told you earlier that there was a dog buried in the west corner of the park that had died of canine plague." β
"I wouldn't have taken it there if I had been there."
"Huh?"
"I went to Shanghai on a business trip these days, I asked Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang said that Po ran out by herself the morning before yesterday and came back by herself. This afternoon, I found out that the situation was wrong, and I asked a neighbor nearby, and I knew that it might be that I was infected with canine plague when I sneaked to the park, so I immediately sent Po to the hospital. β
Yuan Lu stared at Qiao Zhengqi with wide eyes, it was hard to imagine that a person's logical analysis ability and reasoning ability were so strong, and her hindsight seemed so insignificant at this moment.
"Go in, your feet will freeze." Qiao Zhengqi glanced at her toes, which were red from the cold wind, and turned to walk in the direction of home.
Yuan Lu looked down and saw that it was really freezing purple.
Yuan Lu followed behind Qiao Zhengqi, his steps were big and fast, and she trotted all the way behind.
"Aki, you're back, is Bonny okay?" Aunt Zhang, who was making dishes and chopsticks, stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at the gate, and saw that Yuan Lu was blocked by Qiao Zhengqi at the door, and she could only see a pair of feet wearing hollow slippers that were frozen red by the cold wind, Aunt Zhang scolded: "Why don't you change your shoes outside in this weather?" The girl's feet are so golden, and if she freezes, she will fall into the root of the disease! β
Aunt Zhang hurriedly went upstairs to find a pair of socks for Yuan Lu, "Take off your socks as soon as you come back, the barefoot floor is still cold, hurry up and put them on." β
"Thank you, Grandma." Yuan Lu obediently put on her socks and secretly glanced at Aunt Zhang's expression, she seemed to be still depressed, so Yuan Lu floated to the table with a ghostly head and praised the red wine beef brisket in the porcelain pot: "How long has this beef been stewed, Grandma?" The color is red sauce and red sauce, and you can't get this color in less than ten hours! β
Aunt Zhang glanced at her, and knew that she was about to start coaxing her with honey in her mouth, so she waved her big hand and said, "Go, go, hurry up and wash your hands and eat, don't let Brother Nong laugh at your greed." β
Yuan Lu wrinkled his nose and smiled awkwardly at Qiao Zhengqi, asking him to bear more with his funny behavior just now.
"I don't eat at home, and there is an appointment in the evening, you eat." Qiao Zhengqi changed his slippers and went upstairs.
Aunt Zhang poked out half of her head from the kitchen: "Why don't you eat it?" It's good to eat some pads to pad your stomach, go on a date, talk about it early next time, there is leftover food at home every day, how bad! β
When Qiao Zhengqi went out, he had already changed the casual clothes he had just now into a suit, and he answered the phone before going out: "Well, I know, okay, I'll send her home when it's over, my aunt can rest assured, just say so." β
Yuan Lu raised his eyebrows quietly, it turned out that he was going on a blind date.
Yuan Lu secretly looked at Qiao Zhengqi with his peripheral eyes, and found that his slender and sturdy figure always made people feel the urge to tear his shirt against his chest muscles when he wore a suit. Alas, male stunner, the future sister-in-law is so blessed!
Qiao Zhengqi glanced at Yuan Lu coldly, and just happened to bump into Yuan Lu's line of sight sneaking at him, Yuan Lu was so frightened that he was like he had been caught stealing chickens and dogs, and his head was so low that he was about to bury three feet on the ground.
Then she heard a vague laugh floating from the doorway, the sound that came out of her nose with a breath of laughter, was it laughing at her?
Yuan Lu lowered his head vigorously and pulled the rice in the bowl, and when he heard the sound of the door "banging" in his ears, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still deeply felt that Qiao Zhengqi's obscenity was still there, and his eyes did not dare to look in the direction of the door.
At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, there was movement from the door downstairs, and it was Qiao Zhengqi who came back.
Yuan Lu was still choosing the clothes to wear at tomorrow's class reunion, and the clothes on the bed were thrown in a mess, and then her mobile phone rang.
Yuan Lu didn't know where she stuffed her phone, the phone only rang for a message prompt and then it didn't ring, she rummaged through the pile of clothes and couldn't find the phone.
She rummaged through her head and didn't look for it in a fit of rage, opened the door and walked to the staircase and shouted downstairs: "Brother called my mobile phone, a message came in, but I couldn't find my phone." β
Qiao Zhengqi was stunned, and his hand holding the supper and holding the mobile phone and waiting for the reply froze at the same time. He coughed before saying, "Don't look for it, I was looking for you on WeChat and calling you down for supper." β
"Ah, that's right." Yuan Lu's hand touched the handrail all the way downstairs, and when he arrived on the first floor, he saw Qiao Zhengqi carrying two bags of lunch boxes in his hand.
"Didn't finish the pack tonight?" Yuan Lu looked at the lunch box as Junyue's, and thought that this blind date location was not bad.
"No, it's called something else."
Yuan Lu froze, okay, even if she didn't scream in vain just now.
When I opened the lunch box, I saw it, oh my God, it was actually Hainan noodles, when did Junyue have Hainan noodles? Yuan Lu turned his suspicious gaze to Qiao Zhengqi, but found that he didn't bother to take care of her at all, took off his coat and put it on his hand and went upstairs.
"Mom and Dad have already arranged for you to go to the TV station for an internship, and you will go next Wednesday." Qiao Zhengqi left behind such a sentence and went upstairs.
"Oh."
I didn't expect it to be arranged so soon, she thought that she could take a break for half a month, after all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon.
Winter break is about to begin, but there's a tough battle to be fought on the first day.
That night, Yuan Lu slept very lightly, and in her light sleep, she repeated familiar dreams, one nightmare after another, and finally she woke up in a cold tear next to her pillow.
In the night, when she opened her eyes, those humiliations, embarrassments, embarrassments, and humility were like the most terrible nightmares that haunted her in the dark night until dawn.
