Liu Ningqing returned to the community.

When I turned on the light, the huge room felt a little empty.

Liu Ningqing put down her things, and she watched in this home where she had lived for several months.

I still remember that when the two of them came here for the first time a few months ago, he was smiling and talking about the arrangement of the room, how many babies he was going to have with her, and how to renovate the baby room......

Now, this home is really starting to warm up little by little.

It's just that he's getting busier and busier, and he's going on business trips for almost half of the month.

For many nights, Liu Ningqing sat on the sofa, warmed up the tea that had been boiled over and over again, and waited quietly for him to come back.

Liu Ningqing was not the one who had to accompany her, she was originally a person who stayed in the dark alone and grew up stubbornly.

But Xu Zhimu's appearance, like a blazing light, shone in, telling her that she didn't need to be alone anymore.

He has slowly become the only light of Liu Ningqing, how can he return to the darkness if he is used to the light?

Liu Ningqing's heart was very confused, she looked at the kitchen room and slowly stood up.

If he comes back today, he won't be able to eat much every time he drinks at a party, and maybe he'll have to come back for dinner.

Liu Ningqing began to make him chicken soup and herbal tea.

She stood on the eucalyptus platform, thinking about the bits and pieces of the meeting between the two people.

The expression on her face was sometimes smiling, but in the end, there was more and more complexity in her eyes.

Since the two met, it seems that Xu Zhimu has always been unilaterally paying to himself.

Because of him, he doesn't have to worry about life, he can pursue his own ideals, the two of them also have their own homes, grandma and grandpa have an accident, he also took himself back as soon as possible, and even helped his hometown house to renovate......

What about yourself.

It seems that nothing has been done for him, nothing can be helped......

"Gurgling ......"

The hot tea in the pot had already begun to boil, and Liu Ningqing, who was in a daze, was in a hurry and accidentally touched the edge of the pot.

With a stinging burning sensation, she quickly turned off the fire, and the backs of her white and tender little hands were already red at the moment.

Liu Ningqing unscrewed the faucet and flushed.

The last time he got hot, that's how he handled it with his own hands.

Only this time, it looks more serious, and he is not by his side.

Liu Ningqing went to bring a burn cream to apply to herself, and dealt with it simply.

Obviously, these small wounds were dealt with by myself in the past, but why did I ...... this time? She felt empty in her heart.

It's that I'm used to having him by my side, and I'm used to being held in my arms and gently comforted by him when I'm hurt.

Liu Ningqing slowly poured out the chicken soup and herbal tea.

She took out her mobile phone and found the few phone numbers in the phone, and the top one was Xu Zhimu.

She watched for a long time before finally dialing the phone.

"All ......"

The phone prompt sounded for seven or eight seconds, but for Liu Ningqing, it was like seven or eight years had passed.

"Hey, what's wrong Qingqing?"

Xu Zhimu was taking a bath in the bathroom, and it took him half a day before the phone rang just now.

Hearing his voice, Liu Ningqing's heart suddenly felt better, and she suppressed the thoughts in her heart that were messed up into a pot of porridge.

Finally, he asked softly, "I'm ready... Do you want to go home for dinner today? ”

"Today, I'm afraid it's not going to work, and there are still some things that haven't been dealt with."

Xu Zhimu spoke slowly, but he always felt that the voice of the junior sister was a little muffled.

"Qingqing, you're okay over there, if a person is afraid, let Xiaomi and Yaya accompany you."

Liu Ningqing held the mobile phone, but the luster in her eyes became more and more dark.

"I'm fine... What are you doing now? ”

"I'm fine, I'm going to go out to eat in a while, you have to remember to eat well, you know?"

Xu Zhimulin whispered, and at this moment, the door of the bathroom was suddenly opened.

Ye Luojia, who was wearing a bath towel, also walked in and walked straight into the bathtub, Xu Zhimu was startled.

"Oh......"

Liu Ningqing just wanted to open his mouth and ask him if he would come back tonight.

Suddenly, she heard something like the door opening, and some of the sound of water flowing.

"Qingqing, you don't have to wait for me to eat first, I'll call you when I'm done."

Xu Zhimu said a word, for fear that Ye Luojia's words would be heard by the junior sister for a while, so he hung up the phone first.

Liu Ningqing held the mobile phone, and the sound of opening the door from the mobile phone just now, as well as the sound of water flowing.

She came to the bathroom and slowly pulled open the sliding door......

Same sound.

Liu Ningqing's head thuded, was he taking a bath?

If you want to meet customers, it is normal to find a hotel to take a bath, but why is there a sound of the door opening again?

Liu Ningqing clutched her mobile phone tightly, and the uneasiness in her heart all multiplied at this moment.

She hugged her knees and sat on the sofa, and the nights of this season were not too cold.

But the girl's heart at the moment felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

She looked at the chicken soup on the table, and the tea that had gradually dissipated in temperature.

She felt uncomfortable in her heart, she wouldn't doubt Xu Zhimu's feelings for her, but what if she didn't control it and wanted more?

His world is very exciting, but for Liu Ningqing, he is his own world.

There were some things she just wanted to know the truth......

I can't help him, and I definitely don't want to be a drag on him.

……

Night.

In addition to some fixed entertainment activities, Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia also carefully planned the next development direction of the company.

First of all, if the "Crazy Thursday" strategy proposed by Xu Zhimu can meet expectations, then the funders will not have to worry.

Even if other apps follow up this strategy later, the rapidly changing market is enough to prove its potential to the capital, and it is enough to raise the valuation of the "M group" by several levels.

At that time, if competitors want to compete again, Xu Zhimu can also consider going public and hedging capital with capital.

As long as Xu Zhimu firmly grasps a part of the dry shares in his hands, he can really make money lying down in the next ten years at least.

There is no need to think about the position of the richest man in China, that position is too easy to make a big move, Xu Zhimu feels that it is good to be a silent money-making person behind the scenes.

When the time comes, I will grasp the "M group" and the shares of the short video platform, even if it is not comparable to the huge business group of the Ye family, but there will definitely be no problem with being a son-in-law.

It will be chic enough when the time comes.

Xu Zhimu, who was taking a bath, was pulled by Ye Luojia to take a mandarin duck bath for a while.

Then I went to the hotel's dining area for a bite to eat.

……

Downstairs from the Darve Hotel.

A figure appeared downstairs, Liu Ningqing was holding a thermos lunch box and a thermos cup in her arms.

One is the chicken soup and herbal tea she boiled, she is wearing a somewhat thin coat, her long hair is scattered, one jade hand is still red, and the burn marks have not faded.

She has also been to this hotel several times, all with Xu Zhimu.

This time, she came here alone.

She held the tea soup with residual warmth in her arms, and looked at the palatial hotel in front of her, all of whom came and went, all of them were rich people driving luxury cars and dressed in bright clothes, coming in groups.

Liu Ningqing stood here alone, looking so out of place.

She gritted her teeth, she didn't know if she was going to go over today, maybe she could pretend that nothing had happened.

Maybe it's just a matter of thinking too much.

But she knows that even if she deceives herself, the facts are the facts, and if it is true, then the paper can't contain the fire after all.

All she wanted to do now was find an answer.

She slowly walked into the lobby of the hotel, the palatial hall, the first time visitors were not optimistic about the instructions and even the elevator was not easy to find.

With her previous memories, she found the elevator and sat on it.

The people who come and go are basically some rich bosses or celebrities, and it is rare for Liu Ningqing to dress up as a student, and she is still holding a lunch box and a cup of herbal tea in her arms.

With his head down, he stood in the corner timidly.

The clothes on the body are clean and tidy, but they are not famous brands, which is a stark contrast to the people around them.

The elevator stops on the fifteenth floor, which is the dining and shopping area.

The area further up belongs to the VIP service area of the Dawen Hotel, which needs to be transferred to another exclusive elevator to get there.

Liu Ningqing waited for the last person in the elevator to go out, and then she lowered her head and walked out slowly, she has also been here, not far from the place where we used to eat seafood buffet together.

But the elevator here ...... She really hadn't done it yet.

Looking at the circular corridor of the hotel, the dazzling array of shops, there are not many people coming and going, but everyone is holding their heads high.

After all, those who can come here to consume have more or less financial foundation.

Liu Ningqing was holding a lunch box and a teacup, with a soft and weak appearance, as if it was not from a painting style.

It's like Cinderella accidentally breaking into the prince's dinner, leaning against the wall with her head down, careful to avoid everyone's eyes.

Look at the signs that appear and look for the direction of the elevator.

Finally, she saw the elevator sign around a corner, her eyes lit up, and she was about to walk past when she suddenly stopped.

A pair of gentle eyes contracted at the moment.

Just around the corner in the other direction.

Xu Zhimu and Ye Luojia, the two of them also came over.

Liu Ningqing, the real girlfriend, is like a thief who has been discovered at the moment, hiding by the wall and not daring to show her head, only daring to quietly show a pair of bright eyes.

Watching the two people come to the elevator door.

Liu Ningqing's heart felt as if someone had suddenly knocked him with a hammer.

She stared blankly, although the two of them did not hold hands or hold hands, but the two of them were almost next to each other.

And Xu Zhimu's arm was still helping her hold her coat, and the two of them seemed to be talking about something while walking, and Boss Ye, who was usually cold, looked at Xu Zhimu with a gentle look at him at this moment.

That look......

are all girls, Liu Ningqing can naturally see that she likes a person's eyes and can't hide it.

Moreover, at this time, Xu Zhimu also gently used his hands to help her smooth the hair on her temples behind her ears, with that gentle movement and gentle eyes.

That's what he used to use only on himself......

Liu Ningqing clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes were moist, and she was about to cry out.

At the elevator door, Xu Zhimu suddenly stopped and looked around the corner.

And no one ...... But just now, he had an inexplicable feeling, and his chest seemed to be suddenly stuffy.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Luojia asked him behind him.

"It's okay..."

Xu Zhimu shook his head, just took Ye Luojia into the elevator and pressed the button on the thirty-first floor.

And around that corner, Liu Ningqing bit her lip desperately, and even bit out a circle of blood, and the tears in her eyes almost burst out.

Occasionally passing by, I could only see this plainly dressed girl, who was slightly gloomy against the wall and gently twitched her shoulders.

The scene just now was like a knife, stabbing into her heart and blocking her throat.

His heart hurts, but he can't make a sound out of his mouth.

She even thought to herself, maybe...... Maybe it's just a hand-in-hand affair between friends?

But she also knows that she is just deceiving herself, but she is just not giving up if she doesn't see the Yellow River in human nature......

She knew that as long as she pretended not to know anything at this time, she didn't see anything, and turned around and left, she and him would still be as sweet as before.

But Liu Ningqing really wanted an answer, even if she didn't think about whether she could bear the price of this answer.

She hurried over, the elevator had been closed, and the other elevator had not yet come down.

Her eyes looked at the safe passage next to her, the edges of her lips were bloodshot, and she pushed the door straight away.

With warm chicken soup and herbal tea in his arms, he climbed up the stairs step by step.

1st, 2nd, 3rd floors......

These times, Liu Ningqing paints every day except for classes, and her physical condition is not very good, and she has a lot of worries today.

There was hardly a decent meal, and the first floor of the Dawen Hotel was four or five meters high.

When she climbed to the sixth floor, Liu Ningqing was already covered with sweat, and the boredom in her chest almost made her breathless.

But in her heart, the heart that was tougher than anyone else told her that she had once picked up a family by herself, that she had to walk five or six kilometers of mountain roads to work until late at night after school, and was followed by others.

She had to know the answer.

She gritted her teeth and continued to climb up, and there was a feeling of weakness in her body that had not eaten for a day, and when she reached the tenth floor, she felt like she had swallowed a blade.

Down the throat, all the way to the chest.

Thirty floors.

There is also the final layer.

She hugged the chicken soup and tea in her arms tightly, what if, what if he just sent her back and was going home?

He's going home, and I'm going to give him all this stuff......

Enduring the dizziness, Liu Ningqing's clothes were soaked with sweat, she held on, and gently poked her head out of the door of the safe passage.

And at this moment, at the door of the elevator, the two figures appeared.

Come to the door of the room.

Xu Zhimu took out the room card and opened the door, and the moment he wanted to go in, he suddenly felt that feeling of tightness in his chest again.

He glanced around...... No one.

"Xu Zhimu?" Ye Luojia also saw that something was wrong with him.

"It's okay, I suddenly felt a little tightness in my chest, maybe the elevator was weightless and didn't react......"

Xu Zhimu exhaled and followed Ye Luojia into the room.

Behind the stairs of the safe passage, Liu Ningqing slowly squatted down against the door.

Sweat mixed with tears, couldn't stop flowing......
