From the moment Diao Baodou stepped out of the house, Wen Wen sat on the sofa and stared at the wall clock motionlessly.

"It was 4:58 p.m. when he left, and it's 5:40 p.m., with eighteen minutes to an hour." Warm muttered to herself, and in the empty living room, her voice sounded so faint and small.

In the afternoon, at 5:45, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Wen Wen immediately turned his head like a frightened bird, and then stood up and looked at the door in a daze for a few seconds, and when the doorbell rang again, he raised his feet and walked over quickly.

"How? What did you find? Watching Diao Baodou change into a pair of brand-new slippers he had prepared, take off his coat and hat, and then walk into the living room with a flat expression, sit on the sofa, and then asked.

"Can I make a cup of coffee?" Diao Baodou did not directly answer the warm words.

"Oh, of course." He nodded warmly, then turned and walked towards the dining room, where a rather high-end-looking-looking automatic coffee machine shelved, next to a bag of coffee beans and a can of ground black coffee. She picked up the water, poured some ground coffee into it, about the amount of three or four people to drink, and pressed the start button.

For about five minutes, the room was filled with the rich aroma of coffee. Wen Wen poured two glasses, put small bags of milk and sugar cubes on the plate, and then went to the living room with both hands.

"Well, try it, if you want to add milk and sugar, you can add it, but it's better if you don't add it. This is still the coffee beans I bought when my mother was there, and when they are ground into powder, they are already very fragrant, and the taste of cooking is even more fragrant and intoxicating. At least that's what I think. There is another person who also likes to drink, but the last sentence is warm and unspoken.

Diao Baodou didn't add milk or sugar, took a sip of the coffee cup, savored it for about a minute, and then nodded and said approvingly: "It's really good." ”

Wen Wen smiled, and also took his coffee to his mouth.

"Wait a minute," seeing that Wen Wen wanted to drink coffee, Diao Baodou immediately reflexively stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Wen Wen held the coffee cup in his right hand, and looked at Diao Baodou with puzzled eyes.

Diao Baodou stared at Wen Wen, but in his mind he was thinking about how to use the right words to tell her about pregnancy, but in the end, the words that blurted out were only: "You are not suitable for coffee now." ”

"Not for coffee?" The warmth is inexplicable, and the words of Diao Baodou who feel even more are also inexplicable. She looked into Diao Baodou's eyes and asked, "Why is it not suitable?" ”

Diao Baodou turned his eyes back to the coffee cup in front of him, picked it up and took another sip, "In short, it's not suitable." ”

"There's got to be a why, right?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

didn't hear an answer, Diao Baodou continued to lower his head and drink the coffee in his hand.

Wen Wen frowned, but finally put the coffee cup in his hand on the coffee table in front of him.

"Just when you're right, I don't drink it. However, in order not to waste it, you can do it for you, I haven't touched it anyway, it's not dirty, right? ”

"How so." Diao Baodou replied lightly, and then took the warm cup of coffee and poured it into his cup.

"Now can you tell me what you saw on the fifth floor?" Wen Wen leaned his back on the sofa cushion and watched Diao Baodou continue the topic he had just entered the door.

Diao Baodou thought for a while and said honestly: "On the fifth floor, at your father's colleague's house, a woman was found. ”

Wen Wen's eyes widened when he heard this, and the nerves in his back stood up as if they were immediately straightened.

"Woman? Is that the woman you saw in the restaurant this afternoon? Wen Wen wanted to recall the woman's clothes and appearance, but unfortunately, this time it was still only a vague shadow, and she couldn't even remember the woman's eyes.

Diao Baodou nodded slightly, and after that, he continued to drink the coffee in his hand, looking like that, if Wen Wen didn't ask any more questions, he planned to be silent to the end. For a while, the living room seemed extremely quiet. However, this silence lasted for three minutes at most, and after three minutes, the mobile phone in Diao Baodou's pocket suddenly rang suddenly, and he frowned, as if he didn't like to be called by someone at this time.

took out his mobile phone and saw the name of the caller on it, Diao Baodou's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of surprise, but then he pressed the answer button. Wen Wen looked at him silently beside him, and even his breath seemed to be holding his breath.

"......." connected the phone and put it to his ear, but Diao Baodou didn't speak, and even the ordinary opening words of "hey" were not issued, but just quietly waited for the other party to speak.

"Teacher Diao." Hearing the other party's words, Diao Baodou raised his eyebrows, and then spit out two words from his tightly pursed lips, "It's me." ”

In the time when Diao Baodou answered the phone, he sat on the sofa on one side, looking at him intently, I don't know if it was a woman's intuition, she always felt that Diao Baodou looked preoccupied after coming back from the fifth floor, although it was not easy to see on the face, because there was really no expression on his face, so if someone wanted to judge whether this person was happy or not by his expression, it was estimated that he would be disappointed in the end.

Diao Baodou's phone call lasted for about seven or eight minutes, and in this long seven or eight minutes, Diao Baodou said a total of four words into the phone, two were "me", and the other two were "understood" at the end of the phone.

What a strange person! Wen Wen once again thought about Diao Baodou in her heart.

Hanging up the phone, Diao Baodou stared at the empty air in front of him for a moment, then turned his head to look at the warmth, and slowly spit out two words from his mouth, "Dead." ”

"Dead? Who died? ”

"Qin Xiaoxi's mother."

"Huh?" Wen Wen was shocked, looked at Diao Baodou and asked, "Then just now, who called you?" ”

"Qin Xiaoxi."

"What did she say?" After this sentence was asked, Wen Wen suddenly felt that he was really a little three-eight, whether it was Qin Xiaoxi, or her mother, or Diao Baodou, what does it have to do with you? Why do you have nothing to do but ask about other people's private affairs. But the words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back.

"Uh......, if it's inconvenient for you to say it, if you don't say it, I don't have the desire to probe into other people's privacy." Warm and far-fetched explanation.

"There's nothing inconvenient to say, let alone privacy." In Diao Baodou's heart, he never thought that there was anything wrong with having a tryst with an older and married woman, they could get what they wanted from him, and he could also use the warmth of his body to release the desires in his body. This should be regarded as the true nature of human beings, what's wrong? Of course, in the eyes of the world, this is not the case, but it doesn't matter, he has never cared what others think. Whether it's moral corruption or plaything, it's all boring people who point fingers at others in a boring time, but what does it have to do with him? As long as he doesn't care, nothing nasty can get into his ears.

Qin Xiaoxi said that when her mother went out to buy things at noon, she was hit by a truck, and the driver was so frightened that he stood next to him like a fool and did not move, and then a man passing by called an ambulance and called the police by the way. But unfortunately, because of the driver, the rescue time was delayed, and when I was sent to the hospital, I was almost breathing. ”

After speaking, Diao Baodou sighed softly, "It's a pity, she is a good female friend." And coffee? Diao Baodou held the empty coffee cup and turned his head to look at the stunned warmth.

"Yes," Wen Wen stood up from the couch, took Diao Baodou's coffee cup, and turned to the restaurant to pour him a new cup of hot coffee.

"Do you need to see her?" When handing Diao Bao bean coffee, Wen Wen asked.

"What Qin Xiaoxi means is that I'd better not go. Really underestimated this child, in this case, she was able to recount this incident to me from beginning to end in an orderly manner. Finally, he said that he didn't plan to tell me, but it would be better to let me know. ”

"So what? Are you going to follow Qin Xiaoxi's advice and not go to see her mother for the last time? ”

"No, it's better to go, after all, I've been with her for almost a year. I'm going to have to see it anyway. ”

"And what if you run into her father? Not so good. ”

"Let's just say that I am Qin Xiaoxi's teacher, in fact, it is true, because there is something around here, so I will come over casually to condole. This excuse should be said in the past, right? ”

"I want to talk about the past, not to mention that in this case, her father won't think much about it." warmly agreed, and if Diao Baodou really refused to see her mother for the last time according to Qin Xiaoxi's request, it would be too ruthless.

"Okay, I'll go over now, she's still in the hospital, and it seems relatively convenient."

As he spoke, Diao Baodou stood up and went to the coat rack not far from the door to take off his coat, put on a baseball cap, and put on basketball shoes.

"What? Have something to say to me? Although Wen Wen knew in her heart that the two of them hadn't finished talking about the topic on the fifth floor just now, it was obviously not suitable to continue at this time.

"Don't go out, wait for me to come back." Very concise eight words, after speaking, Diao Baodou grabbed the doorknob, opened the door and walked out.
