She ignored the several missed caller IDs on her phone, crossed them out, and flipped through the old photos on her phone.

This is a treatment idea that Zhou Hanyue provided her.

In an encrypted album on her phone, some old photos were taken.

In those days, there were no smartphones, no snapshots, only old photos washed out in the photo studio.

This is a family portrait of a whole set of eight photos.

Photo studios in small counties have limited technology, and there are limited pixels in clothes, sets, and even cameras.

Despite this, it was the most beautiful and harmonious atmosphere in that family.

In front of the backdrop of a man-made lake in a park, a white bench is placed.

The younger parents sat in chairs, the younger daughter sat on her father's lap, and the older daughter sat next to her mother.

Photographer: "Look at the camera, one, two, three."

"Eggplant."

Looking at it, Jiang Jianing cried.

She was on the steering wheel, her shoulders shaking, and she whimpered quietly.

If Dad was here, Dad would definitely not let her be so wronged.

Dad would beat the man who bullied her to death and knock out all his teeth.

She didn't notice that the front door was pulled open.

The man stood next to the driver's seat and looked down at the woman crying like a child.

"Jiang Jianing."

He called her name.

Jiang Jianing heard the shouting and turned his head to look out of the open car door.

The moonlight tonight was very good, and the woolen coat on the man's body fell from his shoulders, as if he had crossed a layer of silver.

The woman's little face was flushed, her eyes were red and swollen, and when she raised her eyes to look at him in the moonlight, her pupils seemed to be filled with a starry scene.

She seemed to identify it, and only then did she recognize this person as Xue Rin'an.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, gently pressing against his lower back, where he had undergone surgery.

He instinctively raised his hand, and when he heard her cry, he put it on top of her head.

Wu Kai came twice and failed to bring Jiang Jianing back, which made Xue Rin feel at ease and couldn't help but be restless, and after he sent Ruan Qingqiu, he asked Wu Kai to drive him to Jiang Jianing's apartment.

Back in the apartment, Jiang Jianing was already crying to the point that she couldn't control her sobs.

She sat on the sofa, took the tissue handed over by Xue Rin'an, and blew her nose.

On the hem of the man's coat, there was Jiang Jianing rubbing it up.

He took off his coat, "I'm not happy every time I go, and I want to go."

Jiang Jianing cried: "People don't do it if they're not unhappy, I'm not happy to go to work, I'm not happy to live, but I still have to go to work and live."

"Boss."

Wu Kai wrung a warm wet towel out of the bathroom and handed it to Xue Rin'an.

Xue Rin'an stood in front of her with a towel and lifted her chin to help her wipe her face.

"Don't cry."

When this woman was capable and self-controlled, she always had a smiling face to everyone, but now she cried, and she couldn't stop crying.

Xue Rin'an used to want to strip off this woman's disguise, prick her vulnerability and weakness, and make her reveal her true emotions other than calmness.

But now, he didn't want to.

Jiang Jianing showed a pair of washed-like eyes from above the towel, "Xue Rin'an, do you think I'm quite unproductive."

Xue Rinan was noncommittal and threw the towel to Wu Kai behind him.

Wu Kai resigned himself to taking the towel to the bathroom to wash.

He must ask his boss for a salary increase.

It's another money!

Jiang Jianing's mood eased a little, she leaned back on the sofa, pulled the corner of Xue Rin'an's clothes, and asked him to sit too.

Xue Rin'an's abdominal wound was still healed, and as soon as he sat down slowly, the woman beside him rested her head on his shoulder.

"I just thought of my dad, who I hadn't seen in almost twenty years," she said.

Xue Rin'an asked, "Where is he?"

Jiang Jianing said, "My mother said he was on a business trip."

For a long time after her father left, her mother took her and her sister to move several times, leaving early and returning late until her sister had an accident and the police came to the door.

Later, there were some things she couldn't remember clearly.

It's just that since the business trip to the present, he hasn't appeared in her life again, it's like dead.

If you talk about Jiang Jianing's childhood, the first half is a beautiful fairy tale.

The second half ended miserably with being sent to a welfare home.

Jiang Jianing smiled, "My mother took me to the temple several times at that time, to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, and told me to accumulate merits, do good deeds, and do ninety-nine good deeds, and my father and sister would come back, all of them were lies."

She kept an entire journal.

Every page and every page is like a ledger of the good things she has done.

She did a hundred and three good deeds, but in the end, not only did her father and sister not come back, but even her mother didn't want her anymore.

Perhaps, the last thing Du Qingling did for her was to send her to the welfare home opened by the dean's grandmother, and to settle the room and board fees for ten years at one time.

"Do you know why I like robot cats?"

Xue Rin'an thought that Jiang Jianing was just asking casually, but she didn't expect that she really waited for him to answer with her eyes wide open, and waited for him for more than ten seconds.

「…… Can you change seventy-two?"

"That's the Monkey King," Jiang Jianing knew that he was deliberately inappropriate to answer, and glared at him, "That's because the robot cat has a time machine and can go back in time, when my father and my sister were still there, and home is still home."

"What's your father's name?"

"Jiang ......"

The woman's voice stopped abruptly, "River."

Xue Rin'an: "......"

As soon as she heard it, she temporarily changed her words.

This night, Xue Rinan did not return to the hospital.

Jiang Jianing refused to ask Xue Rinan to go directly to her bed without taking a bath, and came out with a basin of water to wipe his body.

Xue Rin'an was lying on this big bed, covered with Jiang Jianing's quilt stained with the smell of sweet shower gel, and three large doll bears were lying next to the pillow.

He looked sideways at Jiang Jianing laying the floor.

"If you throw your bear down, you'll have more than enough to lie down on this bed."

"That's not good," Jiang Jianing made the bed and lay on the pillow, "I can't throw my bear down if I throw you down."

Xue Rin'an: "You're bold."

Jiang Jianing propped her cheeks and looked at Xue Rin'an, "That's thanks to Xue Shao for giving me confidence."

When she did the action of supporting her cheeks sideways, the neckline of the nightdress slipped down, and Xue Rin'an saw it from top to bottom, and he felt that the bottom of his throat was a little dry and itchy, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Jiang Jianing noticed the man's suddenly dark eyes, and pulled down his neckline, "Do you want to?"

I think it's been a month since I've passed.

Unless Xue Rin'an has eaten secretly outside.

Xue Rin'an raised his hand to turn off the light, turned his back, "Sleep."

Jiang Jianing was already sitting cross-legged on the floor, watching the man expose half of his solid back muscles from under the quilt, "Xue Rin'an, you're not bad, are you?"

Xue Rin'an: "......"

Jiang Jianing recalled that when she wiped him just now, she didn't seem to react.

No way.

Had an operation, did something wrong?
