I don't know how long I slept.

When she woke up from a dream, Xu Ying opened her eyes in a daze and found that the window was no longer bright, the room was dark, the lights were not turned on, Duan Zilian was nowhere to be found, and the big bed was empty, only herself.

Looking at the ceiling blankly, because her consciousness was not fully awake, in a trance, she couldn't tell where she was.

"Pity?"

When she came back to her senses, she sat up and looked at the entire room, but she didn't find any trace of Duan Zilian, and she wasn't in the bathroom.

“…… Maybe it's going outside, right? Or maybe it's going to fight......"

Rubbing her eyes, Xu Ying cheered up, but she lay down again, just looking at the ceiling, without turning on the lights, and her face was expressionless.

Duan Zipian was not there, she felt empty in her heart, stunned, and she was the only one in the dark room, she felt very depressed and uncomfortable.

Not much.

The door opened, and Duan Zi walked in with a few bags of packaged meals.

"Sakura, are you awake? The room is so dark, why didn't you turn on the lights? ”

turned on the light and immediately saw Xu Ying looking directly at him, he was a little strange.

"Pity, where have you been?" Xu Ying immediately lifted the quilt and sat up to ask.

"I'm going to buy food, it's six or seven o'clock now, you should be hungry, go wash up, come to dinner." Duan Zi took pity on the food in his hand and gestured.

"I thought you were going to fight again......"

Biting her lip, Xu Ying got out of bed directly, didn't even wear shoes, came to Duan Zilian barefoot, and hugged him hard.

"Why didn't you wake me up!?"

"I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't wake you up...... What happened to you? Having a nightmare? Duan Zilian felt that Xu Ying was more excited now.

"When you go to bed in the afternoon, you must wake me up, otherwise if you sleep until night, when you wake up, it will be dark all around, and you will not be there, I am afraid." Letting go of the joke, Xu Ying said seriously.

"yes, I see."

Duan Zilian nodded, and when she saw Xu Ying barefoot, she hurriedly took the slippers to her: "Put the shoes on quickly, the floor is so cold, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Seeing Xu Ying put on slippers, he couldn't help asking, "Sakura, did you have a nightmare just now?" ”

"Nope."

Xu Ying shook her head: "I just don't like the feeling of waking up alone and finding that the room is empty and alone, which is very depressing and uncomfortable." ”

"Well, I'll wake you up when you go to bed in the afternoon. Go wash up and eat. ”

"Hmm."

After a full meal, they were bored in the room, so they went out for a walk, digested, and then returned to the hotel, took a shower and slept.

……

On the last day of August, the sky was cloudless and sunny.

In a bullet train, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying sat in a row of double seats, and when they saw her looking through the photos taken in the past few days on their mobile phones, they turned their heads and looked at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the window.

Looking back on the days when he went out to play with Xu Ying, he felt very satisfied.

And what made him even happier was that his relationship with Xu Ying had taken a step further.

They should have gone back two days ago, but because they didn't want to go back so soon, they didn't go home until now.

And in the next two days, their relationship became more intimate, no matter what they did, they wanted to get tired of being together, except for not breaking through the last step, it was no different from a couple.

Originally, he just wanted to come out and have a trip, but he didn't expect to make the relationship go further, what was he not satisfied with for this unexpected joy?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Pity, what are you thinking about smiling so happily?"

After reading the photos on the phone, Xu Ying saw Duan Zilian turning his head to look out the window, so she hugged one of his arms affectionately.

"I didn't think about anything, I just suddenly felt like I was lucky." Retracting his gaze, Duan Zilian looked at Xu Ying.

"Where's the luck?" Xu Ying asked casually.

"I'm lucky to have met you, thanks to you being with me all the time, otherwise, if I was alone, I might have collapsed in the face of those series of blows, so ah, Sakura, it's really good that you can be by my side." Duan Zilian said sincerely.

"If you say that, then I also feel that I am very lucky to be by your side, I feel that this is the greatest luck in my life, full of security, so happy."

Xu Ying smiled, and hugged Duan Zilian's arm harder.

"Then the two of us are lucky that each other is the most suitable person for us." Duan Zilian smiled slightly.

"So the two of us are a match made in heaven."

Feeling very happy, Xu Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately withdrew her gaze, leaned her head on Duan Zilian's shoulder, closed her eyes, and wanted to sleep with her arm around him.

"Want to sleep?" Duan Zilian asked.

"Well, anyway, I didn't arrive at the station so soon, I'm going to sleep now, and you call me up when I get there."

"Okay."

In response, Duan Zilian stopped talking, turned his head to look at Xu Ying sleeping, and after a while, seeing that she was breathing slowly and evenly, it was estimated that she should have fallen asleep.

In order not to affect her sleep, Duan Zilian sat quietly on the chair, did not move, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and thought about it at will.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the outdoor temperature was still quite hot.

Carrying backpacks and bags of things in their hands, the two walked out of the train station, ate two bowls of noodles nearby, and then went directly to the side of the road to hail a taxi and went straight home.

At one o'clock, they returned to the café they had been away from for a long time.

"Mom, we're back!"

Pushing open the door, Xu Ying said hello happily.

"Huh? Coming back? ”

Qin Qiaoyun was drinking coffee to refresh herself, and was a little surprised when she saw Xu Ying and Duan Zilian who came back suddenly.

She knew that they would come back today, but she didn't expect them to come back so quickly and without any preparation, she was taken aback.

"You're back so early? When you come back, you won't call me to tell you, I'll pick you up at the train station. ”

"No need, Aunt Qiao, we can come back by ourselves." Duan Zilian said.

"Pity, Sakura, you've been out to play for so many days, and you're finally willing to come back, and I thought you went out to elope and didn't want to come back."

Seeing Xu Ying and Duan Zilian coming back, Song Cheng suddenly smiled and made a joke in the past.

"What are you running for? My parents weren't against us being together, we just couldn't help but play a few more days. ”

In response to Song Cheng's ridicule, Xu Ying rolled her eyes and laughed along.

Li Nan also walked over and patted Duan Zilian's shoulder: "How is it, you should be very happy after going out to play for so many days, right?" ”

"It's fun, it's super happy." Duan Zilian showed a big smile.

"I remember when you went out, you all carried a bag, why did you come back with so many things in your hands? The backpacks are also bulging. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help but look at the bags and backpacks in their hands, curious about what was inside.

"It's hard to go out and have fun, and of course I'm going to buy more things and come back, including gifts for you." Xu Ying said as a matter of course.

"Gifts? Is there any mine? What is it? Song Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, it's time to deliver the gifts."

Xu Yingmei smiled, pulled the joke to the corner where there were no guests, took out the gifts in the bag and backpack, and put them on the table.

"Sister Orange, this is a pillow for you, how is it, isn't it cute?" Xu Ying took out a cartoon crab-shaped pillow and handed it to Song Cheng.

"Wow, this crab pillow is so cute, thank you, I love this gift."

Song Cheng happily took the pillow and pinched it, it was soft and felt very good.

"Brother Nan, this is a gift for you, see if it's suitable." Duan Zilian handed a brown mechanical watch to Li Nan.

Putting the watch on his left hand, Li Nan took a look at it and felt that it was quite appropriate, so he couldn't help but smile: "Well, yes, I like it very much, thank you." ”

Then, Duan Zilian handed a pair of headphones to Shen Yan: "Here, Shen Yan, this is a gift for you, I tried it, it's pretty good, it's very suitable for playing games, especially the game of eating chicken." ”

"Well, thanks!"

Shen Yan took the headphones very happily, it just happened that the headphones at home were a little problematic, and now he received a new pair of headphones, and someone really sent a pillow to sleep.

"Mom, this is a mask for you."

Xu Ying smiled and put the three boxes of masks in front of Qin Qiaoyun.

"Masks?" Qin Qiaoyun picked up a box of facial masks and looked at them curiously.

"Well, Mom, you see that there are more wrinkles in the corners of your eyes, so I will buy some masks for you, although I don't know what the specific effect of this mask is, but I heard from the people in the store that this mask is moisturizing and anti-wrinkle, plus the price is quite expensive, so the effect should be quite good."

Looking at Qin Qiaoyun, Xu Ying suddenly felt a little emotional.

"Okay then." Qin Qiaoyun smiled and put the gift away.

"Sakura."

At this time, Duan Zilian put a bag of things in front of Xu Ying.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about this."

Seeing the contents of the bag, Xu Ying suddenly realized and pushed it in front of Qin Qiaoyun.

"Mom, and this, this is a gift for my dad, my dad likes to make tea and drink, so we bought him a few cans of Tieguanyin, when you go back at night, remember to bring it back to him."

"You've been out with Ren for so many days, don't you plan to go back with me tonight?" Qin Qiaoyun looked at Xu Ying and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I'm not going back tonight, I'll go back tomorrow, Mom, go talk to my dad, okay?" I promise, I'll go back tomorrow. Xu Ying hugged Qin Qiaoyun's arm and coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, then you must go back with me tomorrow."

Unable to withstand Xu Ying's coquettish offensive, Qin Qiaoyun was quickly defeated, and sighed helplessly, feeling that Xu Ying really liked to be with Duan Zi too much, and she was not so tired when she was young.

"Uh-huh." Xu Ying suddenly showed a triumphant smile.

"Wow, Sakura, I've been out and played with mercy for so many days, and I don't want to go back immediately when I come back, I feel so sour, and I want to fall in love." Holding the crab pillow, Song Cheng said exaggeratedly, but he did feel sour.

"Envy, huh? Then you feel like you're getting a boyfriend. Xu Ying said angrily.

"If only it were that easy to find." Song Cheng shrugged, not paying much attention to this kind of thing.

Then, everyone sat around a table, and Duan Zilian and Xu Ying talked about their experience of playing while eating the fruits and snacks they bought, and showed them some photos taken on their mobile phones.
