Even in the dream, there is boundless helplessness and bitterness, and every time I wake up from a midnight dream, there is no one on the pillow.

He couldn't hold his little girl anymore.

Lu Qingshi couldn't remember how many times she had thought about her eyes until dawn.

He thought he would never hear her call him "brother" again in his life.

His eyes were as deep as the abyss.

It is like the deep sea in the dark night, surging with emotions that cannot be spied on.

But soon, the darkness in his eyes calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

It was not early, Jiang Qian glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and was about to say goodbye to him, "Li Yao is coming to pick me up, I'll leave first." ”

Lu Qingshi was about to pour her a glass of water, and when she heard this, the fingers holding the glass stiffened slightly.

He let go of his hand and calmly put the cup down, "Okay, I'll send you down." ”

Jiang Qian wanted to say no, but suddenly thought of this again, the lights were turned off in many places, and the scientific research building was so big, she was indeed a little afraid of walking alone, Lu Qingshi knew that she was afraid of the dark.

He didn't say much, Jiang Qian didn't refuse, the two have been getting along day and night for many years, and they have promised each other, such a tacit understanding has long been formed invisibly, Lu Qingshi took her downstairs, and told her where the light switches in the corridor and hall were, the security measures in the building are perfect, in fact, there is no need to be afraid, but if you get off work late, you still have to let Seventeen come to pick it up, and the girl should pay attention to safety no matter what. m.

Jiang Qian listened silently throughout the whole process, and when he was about to walk to the door, Lu Qingshi stopped.

She followed suit.

In the night, the man's clear and tall figure stood in front of her, he didn't go any further, his eyes were withdrawn from the door, and he said to her very calmly, "Let's go." ”

Jiang Qian's gaze also subconsciously fell outside, and he saw Li Yao wearing a black windbreaker and swiping his mobile phone waiting next to his white BMW.

He only sent her here.

Jiang Qian nodded, of course she understood what Lu Qingshi meant, he didn't want Li Yao to misunderstand, and he didn't want her to be difficult.

Ignoring the irrepressible sadness in her heart, she smiled and said goodbye to him politely, "Then I'll go, and you can go back to rest early." ”

Lu Qingshi bowed slightly, looked at her, and said hello.

Jiang Qian turned around and walked out step by step.

She walked quickly, because the tears in her eyes were about to burst out, and she didn't dare to look back, for fear that when she turned around, he was still watching her leave, and she was afraid that she would collapse in an instant.

When Li Yao saw her come out, he hurriedly put away his mobile phone, opened the passenger door, and the moment she got into the car, her tears still fell uncontrollably.

Until the car left the auxiliary road outside the scientific research building, she didn't dare to look back from the rearview mirror, but fortunately, the night was dark, and the lights in the car were not turned on, and Li Yao didn't notice that she was crying from beginning to end.

"Why is it so late today?" Li Yao asked, "Didn't you say you could leave at six o'clock?" ”

It's almost seven o'clock now.

Jiang Qian's eyes fell on the vast rain and fog outside the window, and when she heard this, she closed her gaze, "There is something temporary, sorry, are you going to be late?" ”

"It's okay, I'm busy with work, my parents understand," There was a traffic light intersection in front of her, Li Yao stepped on the brakes, and was about to talk to her again, but suddenly saw a long red mark on her arm.

"What's wrong with the hand?"

He stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her arm, but Jiang Qian shrank slightly.

Li Yao's hand froze in mid-air.

"It's okay," Jiang lowered his eyes, and knew that this wound could not be hidden, "I accidentally fell when I went to the toilet and was scratched." ”

Li Yao turned on the overhead light and was relieved to see that her wound had been coated with medicine, "It's okay." ”

He restarted the car.

Then it felt wrong.

Because the location of Jiang Qian's injury is on the inside of her arm, such a place cannot be medicated by herself. www.

Li Yao thought of something in his mind.

His hands rested on the steering wheel, clenched involuntarily, and asked in a gentle tone, "Shallow, is it the medicine that the teacher gave you?" ”

Jiang Qian was silent for a few seconds, and then said "um".

She doesn't like to lie.

I don't think there's any need to hide it.

Li Yao's eyes froze.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became suffocating.

Jiang Qian spoke, "I'm sorry, if you mind, I will try to avoid meeting him next time." ”

She didn't explain that it was Lu Qingshi who forcibly took her to take the medicine, she never liked to put the responsibility on others, and she knew in her heart that if she really fought to the end with Lu Qingshi, Lu Qingshi couldn't knock her out and take her away.

Li Yao smiled, "No, after all, you were raised by the teacher, there is nothing wrong with the teacher caring for you, if we have time this weekend, let's invite the teacher to have a meal at home." ”

Jiang Qian was silent and did not speak.

Didn't say good, didn't say bad.

Before half past seven, the car stopped at the hotel.

The first time they met, Jiang Qian brought some gifts, Li Yao's parents were farmers facing the loess, and they were very happy to see Jiang Qian decent and sensible.

At the dinner table, Mother Li kept looking at Jiang Qian, asking this and that, from Jiang Qian's current work, to where they plan to live after marriage and how many children they will have.

Li Yao said that Jiang Qian married him, so he naturally lived with him in his current house.

Mother Li shook her head, "Your house is so small, how will you live when you have a child, and where will your father and I live at that time?" Isn't there a lot of villas in the shallows? You choose the largest set of accommodation, and when the time comes, rent out the other vacant ones, I have inquired with your father, the housing prices here are expensive, and such villas are shallow for hundreds of thousands a month! ”

Jiang Qian's fingers holding the teacup paused.

She smiled politely, "Auntie, these villas were given to me by my brother, not my ......"

"The one who gave you is yours," Mother Li said, "Your brother is so rich, is it possible that he will wait for you to get married, and then take back those villas?" Li Yao's university study is also funded by Professor Lu, I know that Professor Lu is not a stingy person, these villas are empty and it is a waste, why don't you turn it into money in your hands, Li Yao, do you say? ”

Li Yao's face changed slightly.

But he did not refute Li's mother's words.

Mother Li said again, "Again, the elders of our two families have not met about marriage, and the bride price will come according to the local customs of our old Li family, as for the dowry, shallow, auntie speaks straight, don't go to your heart, Li Yao told me that you have a daughter, to be honest, at the beginning I didn't agree with your uncle, Li Yao is such an excellent child, what good girl can't be found, but there is no way Li Yao insists, what can we do?" Since she is not a yellow flower girl, then according to the standard of not being a yellow flower girl, Professor Lu is so rich, a dowry of five million is not too much, right? ”
