Chapter 42: Cold Night

It's just that he is really dedicated to his dedication, from the bus station to his home community, just a few hundred meters away, Nan Zhiyi still insists on sending Ling Li home.

Ling Li couldn't resist him, and was pouting and complaining about Nan Zhiyi Qingqi's brain circuit, when she suddenly looked at Mi Li and Gu Li's appearance honestly sticking to Nan Zhiyi's side when they walked, and her eyes widened unconvinced: "Wait a minute, why are they walking with you so well?" Why did it change to me, it was they who walked me and ran desperately! ”

Nan Zhiyi looked down at Wang Xingren beside him, and then raised his head and smiled proudly: "Are you a sunfish?" ”

As soon as he heard such a fixed sentence structure in his mouth, Ling Li didn't want to say a word. Anyway, no matter what kind of animal Nan Zhiyi was talking about, she knew that the next sentence would definitely mock her.

So, just shut your mouth and didn't answer.

Without Ling Li's "ah", Nan Zhiyi didn't care, and continued to smile and said slowly: "If you are a sunfish, then I don't dare to tell the truth, it is said that there are many ways to die of a sunfish, too strong sunlight will die, too much tension will die, spots with sea salt on the body will die, and too sad will die." If you know that the reason why Mi Li and Gu Li are dragging you away is because you are a working girl, I don't know if you will be angry? ”

was complained by him in a different way, Ling Li wanted to glare at him a few times, but when he raised his eyes, he was amused by his smiling face and lost his momentum all of a sudden.

Nan Zhiyi's upper lip is thin and flat, and the corners of his mouth are slightly downward, and his face is full of unhappiness when he doesn't smile, but he actually looks a little fierce.

Obviously not the appearance of a gentle and warm man, but when he smiled, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was wanton and stretched, his teeth were white and square, and his nose was slightly upturned, which made people can't help but follow the corners of his mouth up.

The so-called relationship is born from the heart, probably that's it.

Walking side by side with him on the sidewalk, and after a few steps to the downstairs of her house, Ling Li whispered goodbye to Nan Zhiyi, turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

They all took a few steps, and suddenly, Nan Zhiyi called her from behind: "Ling Li......"

Ling Li turned around, very surprised.

Here in Nanzhiyi, because he ate the small tomatoes he cultivated, he has never called her name seriously, and it seems to be the first time that he has called her name seriously.

Nan Zhiyi stopped her, but she didn't speak for a while, but her eyes flashed slightly, and her face gradually became a little solemn.

The word "preoccupied" is too incompatible with Nan Zhiyi, but at this time, Ling Li really couldn't find a more appropriate description for this look of wanting to speak and stopping.

She frowned, "What's wrong?" You're weird today, is there anything you can't say? ”

Nan Zhiyi first stood in place with a thoughtful appearance, and after a few seconds, he walked up to her with the dog, handed the leash in his hand to Ling Li, and began to dig things out of the pocket of his clothes.

After a while, he took out a small notebook from the inner bag of his coat, opened it gently, and gently took out a thin piece of paper-like thing from it, handed it to Ling Li, and said with a chuckle: "Come, this is for you." ”

Ling Li looked at the thing he was pinching in his hand, a little confused.

It was an oval pink patch, light and thin, and it was not so clear in the night, but looking at the shape, it seemed to be a leaf.

Nan Zhiyi looked at the thin piece and said softly: "This is a leaf vein bookmark, made of sycamore leaves." ”

He shifted his gaze to Ling Li again, smiled and said, "This is a real sycamore leaf, not a plane tree." ”

Ling Li let out an "oh" and took this small piece, still not understanding how Nan Zhiyi suddenly rose up to give her this thing.

Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded in his head, and Ling Li put on a defensive posture: "You won't say anything like 'you are a plane tree', right?" Now that the animals are finished, they have changed to plants? ”

Nan Zhiyi shook his head, with a stupid expression of hatred on his face: "Where am I so bored, I just happened to see the sycamore leaves, and I just happened to find one to open your eyes." Everyone has forgotten what the original sycamore was like, but there are still people who will remember it. ”

This sentence made Ling Li frown.

Nanda God seems to be addicted to teaching and educating people, not only to let her know that the three balls are the French Sycamore to climb the tree, but also to popularize the science of this sycamore is not the other sycamore, specially make a leaf vein bookmark for her?

This cozy posture doesn't seem to be the straightforward style of Nandashen, but it matches his behavior of convulsions from time to time.

So she cooperated and pretended to be suddenly enlightened, lowered her head again, and looked carefully at the bookmark in her hand.

The long, oval-shaped leaves were indeed different from the lobed palm-like leaves she was familiar with.

The pink color is beautiful, and the delicate veins of the leaves are delicate like tassels, but they are connected at key points, stretching out in the night.

Although it is so slender that it seems to break when it is gently broken, and it is gently trembling by a gust of cold wind, the windward swing but tenacious and self-sustaining posture glows with a completely different beauty from when it has fat and tender mesophyll.

Nan Zhiyi waited quietly for her to look at the leaves, and said: "A leaf, made into a bookmark you see, must first be boiled in a strong alkali until blackened, and then use a brush to remove the mesophyll attached to it, and then soak it in hydrogen peroxide for two days to get rid of the unsightly color." After such a process, the leaves are preserved without attaching to the tree. ”

As if he had been hit by something, Ling Li was stunned in place.

What does Nan Zhiyi's words, especially behind the last sentence, mean? Did he know something?

Unable to tell whether she was resisting or shrinking in her heart, Ling Li moved her lips, but did not say a word. I hesitated for a while, and I was hesitating how to continue this sentence, and I was afraid that I would think too much.

After a while, she finally decided to thank her first, and just as she wanted to speak, suddenly a huge force came from her right hand, menacing and unexpected, and suddenly dragged her forward a big step.

Ling Li only felt that her eyes were dark, and there was a slight pain on her forehead, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had crashed into Nan Zhiyi's arms, and he held her shoulders to stand firmly, and then took the leash from her hand.

She was still a little trance-like, and Nan Zhiyi had already shouted angrily: "Mi Li Guli, what are you doing!" Sit down for me! ”

After speaking, he took the head of the leash, knocked left and right on the two dogs who wanted to chase the wild cat just now but pulled Ling Li unsteadily, and said with hatred in his mouth: "Stinky dog, you are making trouble, thinking about the past in the face of the wall!" ”

When he finished teaching the dog, he turned around and rubbed his heart a little grinning, probably being hit by Ling Li just now.

Ling Li just wanted to ask if it hurt him, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, and let go of her left hand in a daze, and saw the leaf vein bookmark that had been pinched into a crumpled ball, lying quietly in her palm.

What just came to her hand was made like this by her.

The most important thing is that Nan Zhiyi's words that she hadn't figured out just now were because of this leaf......

After the prelude was finished, I felt that when there was still a second part, the props were crushed by her, which seemed to be a little embarrassing...

She didn't know what to say, and when she raised her eyes, she had a stunned expression on Shangnan Zhiyi, and the two were relatively speechless for a few seconds.

Next, it was Nan Zhiyi's distressed expression and voice: "Just throw away the leaves!" ”

Ling Li shook her head, a smile on the corner of her mouth: "If you don't throw it away, I will keep it well." Thank you, Mr. Nan. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly felt that the light was dim, and a hand put on the top of her head, and patted it gently as she usually touched the head of Mi Li Guli.

After that, it was Nan Zhiyi's voice with some smiles: "Okay, the popular science time is over, go home quickly." ”

The key words of winter in Ruodu are cold and cloudy.

After the rainy season of early winter, the whole city seems to be covered in a hazy cloud, and the air is full of humidity.

The cold damp can easily penetrate the thick clothes and drill straight into the bones of people, and if you encounter the windy weather again, you will be hit by the unbearable cold, which really makes people want to shrink their heads into their necks.

Ling Li wiped away the fog condensed on the glass, leaned closer to the window to see the people outside the house who were struggling to walk by the wind, and worried about how to go back for a while.

Since that day Nanzhiyi came to her and gave her a bookmark, the weather has been windy and cool down for several days, and the breath of winter, which was not so strong, has suddenly become the theme of these days.

The room is warm and cozy, with soft music, accompanied by the bitter aroma of coffee, and the floor heating slowly rising under your feet, giving people the illusion of warmth like spring.

However, he came out in a panic just now, and only took a thin coat. After a while, I went home against the wind, although it was only a kilometer away, I was afraid that I would be frozen into popsicles.

These days, because Qin Xinghai's case is so busy, after Ling Li readjusted her thinking and read the file, she had a little clue, and Zhu Jinchuan finally had time to go to Changshan's prison with her to meet the client, and the time was set for Thursday.

Changshan is more than 400 kilometers away from the capital, although the highway is opened, but the bends are many dangerous roads, and there is dark ice in winter, and the maximum speed limit is 80 kilometers per hour. I don't have enough time to go back and forth in a day, so I have to stay out for one night.

Ling Li was a little apprehensive about going on a business trip with Zhu Jinchuan, but for the sake of the case, she had to go. Therefore, as soon as she got off work, she packed her simple luggage at home. “

After packing her luggage, she stood in front of the window and thought about the case in a daze, and suddenly found that looking down from the window of her house, under the tree less than ten meters away, there was a thin and tall figure.

Although she couldn't see her face clearly, the figure quickly matched a name in her mind, and she intuitively realized that this person was coming for her.
