Chapter 372: Farewell
The night before the autumn equinox, thunderstorms, lightning and torrential rain drove away the ravages of the autumn tigers, and the gradually cooler weather signaled that autumn had finally arrived.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Ling Li was discussing with Zhang Shouzhen what to eat in the evening in her shop, Zhang Shouzhen looked at her and was a little strange: "Why are you still short-sleeved?" Autumn is cold, add clothes in the morning and evening, you are already thin, what if you catch a cold? ”
After a pause, he laughed again: "Professor Nan still needs you to take care of it." ”
Ling Li smiled forcefully, took the menu he handed over, and pointed to one of the dishes and said that he wanted to change it, avoiding the topic just now.
More than an hour later, she carried a heavy food box and walked home.
I don't know how many times I've walked this road, and I've seen the scenery all year round.
The days had begun to get shorter, and before seven o'clock the sky was already starting to darken. And the layers of dark clouds pressing on the horizon show that I am afraid that an autumn rain is close at hand.
After the autumn, there is always a lot of autumn rain, and it is almost impossible to see a sunny day. At this time of the year, she wore a small coat almost morning and evening, and even on a sunny day, she always brought her cold clothes with her.
This year, however, she subconsciously began to resist wearing long sleeves.
But what's the use of self-deception, everyone knows that autumn is coming.
The night breeze was a little cool, and it ruffled her long hair over her shoulders and burrowed through her clothes from the neckline.
Ling Li looked at the sky that was rapidly darkening, quickened her pace, and almost ran back to the apartment building.
Ten days ago, since that long hug and after receiving the pair of tea crystal ears, Ling Li found that she was becoming more and more unable to control her emotions.
Always when he can't see her, he stares at his side face or back in a daze, for minutes or even half an hour, so that he forgets what he is doing.
And Nan Zhiyi was probably pretending to be stupid, turning his head to meet her blank gaze several times, and then turning his head calmly.
Ling Li sometimes began to wonder if he also thought that the time to stay was short, so he didn't have to hide anything from her.
But she thinks that she can't indulge herself like this anymore, otherwise, she doesn't know what outrageous things her body will command her body under the influence of hormones.
She had to make a choice.
Now that he was able to stay away from this already unsafe place, she should let it go.
Fortunately, with his recovery, the school has become more and more complicated after the school has started, and his students have also returned.
In 1801, there were people almost during the day, and it was not deserted at all, and she didn't have to worry about his safety.
Back in 1801, she put down the food box and began to pack the table and prepare for dinner.
Nan Zhiyi heard the sound and came out of the study, stretched his waist, saw the full dining table on one side, was a little surprised, pulled Ling Li, who was busy, and asked, "Today, why are there so many delicious foods?" ”
The corners of Ling Li's mouth curved slightly, and she said, "Guess what? ”
He scratched his head: "I really can't guess, is this a decapitated meal?" ”
Ling Li snorted and laughed, walked around and pulled out the chair, and let him sit down.
Nan Zhiyi made a creepy appearance: "Fan girl, I have hands and feet, why do you have to make a posture to take care of the severely disabled?" ”
Ling Li pursed her lips: "Naturally, I want to please you, lest you go back to the imperial capital and say that our Funan left you with an injury, and that our Funan people are too rude." ”
Speaking of the imperial capital, the smile on the corner of Nan Zhiyi's mouth faded, and he sat down slowly.
Ling Li set the dishes and chopsticks, sat down by herself, and was about to speak, when she suddenly remembered something.
She took a note out of her pocket, pushed it from the table, and said, "What do you think this is?" ”
Nan Zhiyi looked at the familiar string of numbers on the creaseed note in front of him, and couldn't remember where he had seen it after thinking for a long time, so he had to ask Ling Li: "It looks like a phone number, whose one?" ”
"I knew you didn't remember your number," she looked at her before pursing her lips and laughing, "This is your phone number I got from my classmates." That day, I couldn't find it in my hurry, so I wrote it on this sticky note paper, and it was always in my notepad. Today, I occasionally opened my notebook to find the log of last year, and I found out. ”
Nan Zhiyi heard her say this, picked up the note again and recalled it seriously, and finally remembered that this was indeed his mobile phone number, and couldn't help laughing: "You really have leisure, and you keep these rags." ”
Ling Li pursed her lips, and her voice was shallow: "This is the first contact I have with you, and I am reluctant to throw it." ”
He still had a smile in his eyes just now, but at this moment, he was silent.
Ling Li muttered as if she couldn't notice his changes: "As a result, the mobile phone that I worked so hard to get is not the same, and I can't get through, so I had to go to your university and finally catch you." You crawled out of the garbage dump that day, so dirty that you couldn't look at it, and you gave me a basket of genetically modified tomatoes, and I was so obsessed that I could eat the whole basket. ”
After recalling the beginning of their encounter, she suddenly turned her face and made eye contact with him, her expression serious and focused: "I remember the date of that day very clearly, it was September 29. ”
Nan Zhiyi silently calculated in his heart, a little stunned.
It turns out that today is the first anniversary of their acquaintance.
The affection in his heart gradually increased, and he was just about to speak, but saw Ling Li stand up abruptly.
She smiled at him, "I forgot, there's still something!" ”
With that, she ran to the kitchen, holding two tall crystal cups in one hand and a wine decanter in the other.
The crimson liquid in the decanter looked like wine.
Ling Li smiled a little mischievously: "This is taken from Mr. Tian's wine cabinet, I don't know red wine, I checked it, it seems to be the most expensive bottle in his collection." Also, I've checked Baidu and asked the doctor, and with your current recovery, it's okay to drink some red wine. ”
Nan Zhi Yi Wan'er also said in a half-joking tone: "My injury is fine, Lao Tian's advantage is not taken advantage of." ”
In the warm light, the burgundy liquid falls into the crystal glass, which is an alluring and full color.
Ling Li pretended to shake the wine glass, watched the red wine slowly slide down after hanging on the wall, took a sip, and sighed a little: "A year is really fast"
After that, she raised her wine glass and faced Nan Zhiyi: "Teacher Nan, it's nice to meet you." ”
Nan Zhiyi had a thoughtful expression, and was slightly stunned when he saw her raise the wine glass, and then like her, he raised the wine glass and touched it, and whispered: "Me too." ”
After drinking red wine, her expression became softer and softer, the corners of her lips were curved, her amber eyes seemed to be rubbed into the starlight, and she kept talking about interesting things about her acquaintance with Nan Zhiyi for a year.
He could detect the faint gloom that she hid under her smile.
Just remained silent and watched her quietly.
Ling Li knew that the amount of wine was shallow, and she was afraid of gaffes, so she didn't dare to drink more, so she just half a glass of red wine, her cheeks were already red, and her heart was beating faster.
She didn't dare to let Nan Zhiyi drink more, so she packed up the wine utensils and forcibly ended the drink.
After dinner, Ling Li slowly cleaned up the things in the kitchen, wiped the water droplets on her hands, returned to her room, and dragged out a suitcase.
Nan Zhiyi heard the sound of rollers on the floor tiles, and his ears moved, but his expression was calm, and he didn't seem surprised at all.
Ling Li slowly walked up to him and lowered her eyes: "I'm moving back to my uncle's house today." ”
Nan Zhiyi put down the book in his hand and stood up: "Oh? Why? ”
"Aren't you going back?" Her smile was a little reluctant, "Didn't you say before, when you can wear long sleeves, you will go back to the imperial capital." I told my uncle that I would move back tonight, and I also informed Lu Peng to come over to accompany you for a while. With him here, I'm not afraid that Qian Yang will attack you. ”
He didn't answer, and was silent for a long time, as if thinking about something.
Ling Li's hanging heart never landed.
She had already made a decision that she could no longer involve Nan Zhiyi, but she found that at this time, she was expecting him to stay.
However, after more than ten seconds, his eyes regained their clarity, grabbed the coat at hand, and said, "Okay, I'll send you over." ”
Ling Li was slightly disappointed in her heart.
She decided to leave, and everything tonight was also a ruthless farewell to everything she loved, but he didn't even say a word to stay.
Nan Zhiyi was unaware of her mood change, looked out the window, and said, "It's going to rain, let's go and go back quickly." ”
Coming out of the community, he should have turned left, but Ling Li didn't know why he suddenly got angry and went in the opposite direction.
Reason told her that this would not lead to results, but there was always a voice in her heart telling her that she was not willful at this time, so what was the point?
Nan Zhiyi followed behind her, not saying that he was going in the wrong direction, nor complaining about the trouble of the suitcase as before, and was silent all the way.
Half an hour later, they were almost walking to the nearby Huanhua Park, Nan Zhiyi looked at the dark sky, and then looked at the park in front of him with rich vegetation and street lamps that were not so bright, and lowered his voice: "It's dark, and it's going to rain soon, why don't we go back?" ”
Ling Li was silent, still walking in front, and even quickened her pace, almost trotting into the park gate.
Nan Zhiyi was helpless, let go of the suitcase, and caught up in a few steps.
As soon as he reached out, he grabbed her arm and asked, "What are you angry about?" Tell me okay? ”
Ling Li didn't speak, just a gust of wind blew and couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing her shrink in the night breeze, Nan Zhiyi noticed that she was still dressed in a short-sleeved and long-skirted skirt.
He took off his coat silently, and the moment he put the clothes on Ling Li's shoulder, he suddenly hesitated: "I haven't washed it for two days, I'm afraid it will smell." ”
With a little hesitation in his clear eyes, Ling Li suddenly had a sour nose for a while.
No matter how sluggish she is, she can be sure that Nan Zhiyi also has feelings for her.
Before Zhong Zhuowen's accident, this person was always spinning in place, forcing her to go against her character and take the initiative to step forward. However, when she took a step forward, he took a step back, leaving her with no temper and no choice, and she really didn't know what to do to get him to tell the truth.
Giving up without holding his hand was not the life she wanted. That's why she wanted to be brave.
She even figured out how to force him to ask him at that time - Nan Zhiyi, don't think that no one is chasing me, people are younger than you, better than you, and richer than you. You think you're a scientist in Qinggao, but you're so poor that you have nothing left with a house that can't be sold and two dogs that eat as much as cattle, and you don't want anything to do, and you're so sloppy that the housekeeper doesn't even want to pay attention to you......
She was really crazy during that time, and almost all the centers of her life were struggling with how to pry open his mouth and let him say those words.
