Winter had gradually begun to fall, and Ruan En's job was still unsettled, so she simply gave up and returned to the United States to write novels at home.

When Gu Xiliang came home from work, what he saw was that the whole house was brightly lit, and the girl curled up in the corner of the sofa, typing intently. Perhaps because she was an eyesore, she tied all the hair on her forehead back with a clockwork, and the millet curls that were almost waist-high were also pulled into a circle by simple black elastic bands, and the orange-rimmed glasses were firmly resting on the bridge of her small nose. The heating was turned on sufficiently, but she still wrapped a knitted jacket outside, as if she was afraid of the cold.

It was something Gu Xiliang had never seen before.

During this period, the girl finally discovered the existence of the man, and turned her head to smile lightly.

"I'm back."

The glass wind chimes on the balcony were a gift from He Xue to Ruan En, and at the moment they were being blown by the not very gentle cold wind, and Gu Xiliang's heart kept softening because of those three short words. Maybe it has been lost, so even if it is a small warmth, it has become extraordinarily cherished. He took off his coat, hung it at the entrance with his car keys, then changed into slippers and walked inside, sitting next to Ruan En, the sofa was slightly concave because of the weight of one more person.

"When did you become nearsighted?"

Realizing that the other party was asking himself how to wear glasses, Ruan En put the notebook on the transparent coffee table, then took off the frame on his face, and took it to the man's eyes and said, "If you don't have lenses, you haven't found it!" Gu Xiliang saw that she was in a good mood, so he pretended to be curious and reached out to take it, put it on the bridge of his nose, and turned his head a little childishly and asked, "Is it good-looking?" Without hesitation, Nguyen shook his head like a rattle.

"Not as good as me."

Gu Xiliang didn't care about her, pursed his lips, pushed up the somewhat tilted glasses frames, and looked at the other party's eyes blinking, his dark pupils were bright.

"Isn't it pretty?"

Nguyen Endo wanted to answer categorically, yes, not only is it not good-looking, but it is also very deformed. But she knew it wasn't like that. Although there were no lenses, those glasses still didn't add a lot of bookish flavor to Gu Xiliang. She almost believed that in front of her was a polite, harmless man with a good temperament.

After not getting an answer for a long time, Gu Xiliang smiled understandingly, and the beautiful eyes hidden behind the frame also had a slight smile, but there was some unforgiveness on his mouth.

"I'm an honest and kind Little Red Riding Hood, but why do I have to be a big bad wolf who is a liar?"

A pun intended.

Obviously, you inadvertently show that you still have a heart for me, why do you always refuse to be honest with your own heart?

was poked in the backbone, Ruan En couldn't say anything to refute for a while, so he tried to change the topic, "When I see you now, I think of an idiom, do you know what it is?" Gu Xiliang raised his chin and understood her. But as soon as the word "Sven ......" in Ruan En's mouth came out, she felt the other party's sudden sweeping gaze, and the remaining word "scum" in her mouth no longer dared to come out.

No longer playing boring quarrels with her, Gu Xiliang took off his glasses, stood up and walked to the kitchen, Ruan En puffed out his cheeks and grimaced behind his back, but the man suddenly turned around, so frightened that the expression on her face was too late to retract, and she was suddenly a little stupid.

"What do you want to eat at night?"

"Well, it's all right."

After answering, he asked as if he remembered something, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice?" "Gu Xiliang meditated for a few seconds and gave a definite answer" Yes. ”

"Isn't it necessary to eat mutton hot pot on the winter solstice? Can you call Xiaoxue to have a buffet at home tomorrow? ”

What Gu Xiliang hates the most in his life is what kind of mutton shabu he eats, and he always feels that the taste is not ordinarily unpleasant, which is really annoying. But seeing that the girl's face was full of expectation, he almost blurted out the "NO" and turned it into "go change clothes." Nguyen didn't know why.

"Huh?"

"I'm afraid that I won't have enough time tomorrow, so I'll go to the supermarket now to buy hot pot ingredients and eat by the way."

Unexpectedly, it was so easy, Ruan Enle jumped up from the sofa, put his slippers on his left and right feet backwards, and ran upstairs with Ding Ding Dong. Gu Xiliang's eyes followed the girl's running figure, and when he heard the regular sound of kicking and tapping, he felt even more relieved.

The two of them were ready to set off in a short time, and the supermarket was holding a price reduction rush event, and there were many people, and many of the food was almost half the usual price. There was only one box of mushrooms that Ruan En liked left on the cargo shelf, and Gu Xiliang pushed the commodity cart in front, and quickly reached out to get it, and the other plain white hand also reached over, and the two of them touched the product packaging box of mushrooms almost at the same time. Ruan En had been following Gu Xiliang step by step, looking left and right to see if there was any other food that had been missed, but when he turned his head, he saw the coincidental scene. was indignant in his heart, why the man hadn't snatched it decisively, but when he raised his eyes, he found that the woman was He Yishu.

Thousands of mountains and rivers, it is really a very cruel word.

For Gu Xiliang, there seems to be no more embarrassing time in his life than at this moment. And Yu Ruan En, when he saw the scene where they ignored each other's eyes from the outside world, he suddenly remembered who had sang: Watching her walk towards you, how beautiful that picture is, if I cry, it is also because of joy. Ruan En didn't know whether to say "long time no see", she could only sense in time that she felt uncomfortable in her heart, especially when she saw those two hands put together at the same time, although there was still a distance from overlapping, she knew very well what that feeling meant.

Yes, even if she is Gu Xiliang's last choice, even if those entanglements have been separated for many years, she is still sad and jealous. The loneliness and desperation of those who worked alone by his side reminded Nguyen day and night to be sober and alone. In that way, no matter what the final outcome is, you can get out of the way anytime and anywhere, without interference. But the word that can get rid of all right and wrong has never belonged to her, and if she still loves, he is still there.

The eyes of the three of them stopped for a long time, and finally the mushrooms did not fall into the hands of any of them, but a nice female voice said, "You don't want it, I'll take it." So the last box of shiitake mushrooms went to another shopping cart. Then Gu Xiliang and Ruan En turned their heads at the same time and saw the woman, a little familiar, Ruan En thought for a long time before remembering that when he was learning to drive in the driving school, it seemed that he almost collided with the other party. And then all those slight reluctances disappeared, and it should be regarded as reparation, she thought.

Ning Lanyin was not as cautious and serious today as she was at the driving school, she was wearing ordinary home clothes, her hair was swept on the soft collar, she nodded politely to everyone present, and finally turned her face in the direction of He Yishu, and He Yishu also looked at Ning Lanyin for a long time, her lips and teeth opened and closed several times, and finally remained silent. Then Ning Lanyin turned her gaze slightly away, and stayed on Gu Xiliang's silhouette for a short time, her eyes were dancing with emotion, and finally walked away with her head down. He Yishu also hesitated for a moment, and also walked in the opposite direction to her, leaving only Ruan En and Gu Xiliang, who were still in place.

What should have been a romantic or awkward coincidence ended in such a bland way.

The elevator door opened in the underground parking lot, Gu Xiliang remotely controlled the car with the key in one hand, and walked to his parking space with a big shopping bag in the other, without saying a word, and Ruan En followed silently behind him.

What was he thinking? Do you regret seeing your old friend? Do you still love her? These speculations made Ruan En's heart sink irrepressibly, if he was given up again...... Gu Xiliang, I don't dare to think about how terrible that is. After you gave me hope, when I was lifted up to heaven by you, I didn't dare to think that one day you would suddenly regret it, and then drag me down with your own hands and push me into the infernal hell.

Ruan En didn't realize that these emotions were already beyond the control she had drawn over him, and she was nervous, and heaven and man were at war. Just as the two of them continued to walk forward in silence, the person in front of them turned around suddenly.

He always seemed to like this, and he was caught off guard by killing her.

Gu Xiliang pursed his lips, raised his arm and raised the shopping bag in his hand half-loudly, and separated the smallest bag, which was just some green onions and ingredients. Then his eyes raised his puzzled eyes at the girl, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curved.

"Wife, can you bear to see me take so many things alone? Kindness? ”

The flat ground thundered, and Ruan En was at a loss. What did he just call her? Wife...... While this is true, their relationship has always been more like a couple after a fight.

And as smart as he is, how could Gu Xiliang not know Ruan En's feelings at the moment, just to show his heart? Not only did he feel awkward, but he was also afraid that he would scare her away. So I thought about it for a long time and only came up with such a clumsy method, pretending to be joking to show my heart.

I don't know if it's because of the parking lot lights, the man's face is actually a little red. Ruan En didn't refute, she inhaled her almost sour nose, suppressed the joy and throbbing that was about to erupt, and finally reached out to take the small white bag, on which was a silly cartoon animal, the symbol of the supermarket. During this period, Gu Xiliang's ring finger flexibly hooked the girl's little finger, which was very tight, and Ruan En buried his head lower and lower, but he did not struggle.

The two walked forward side by side, wandering between them with long-lost enthusiasm.

A Beetle suddenly brushed by, bringing a gust of wind, which showed the speed of the beetle, and when it was up the exit ramp, it met an oncoming car, and the Beetle was very sensitive to turn and pin to the side, disappearing into the group of cars. Gu Xiliang clearly saw that the person in the car was Ning Lanyin, which was not unusual, what was strange was her skilled driving skills, and that kung fu could not be practiced in a month. If he really has the strength, how can he learn to drive at a driving school and deliberately hit in the direction that Ruan En is driving? And today's re-encounter, his intuition also told him that this was not a coincidence that could be explained.

That's deliberate, if not a coincidence. What is the purpose of her appearance three times and twice? Thinking of the dangerous car wipe at the driving school before, Gu Xiliang hooked Ruan En's fingers tighter and tighter, and his pupils gradually deepened.

I'm not going to give anyone another chance to hurt you, anyone.
