When Xi Lanyu heard this, he glanced at her lightly: "Something?" ”

No, that's good.

Ning Zhi shook her head very slightly, she looked at him, thought for a while, her face was sincere and tangled, "Actually, I don't think I have a position to say this, but I think it will be very uncomfortable if I don't say it." ”

Xi Lanyu suddenly straightened up, leaned back slightly, and leaned against the wall, in a somewhat relaxed posture.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, the soft light lining his face patiently, he didn't speak, as if waiting for Ning Zhi to organize his words.

After a faint silence.

Ning Zhi said: "Last time you said that you were just a businessman, but I think businessmen are also divided into simple profit-seeking and profit-seeking. ”

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

Xi Lanyu may not be as cold and ruthless as he seems, he is a principled, persistent, and responsible businessman

Xi Lanyu looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.

In this quiet, hidden, hazy little world, there is something similar to the collision of souls quietly breeding.

Ning Zhi felt that he might have touched the dark, unknown side of his soul.

In the middle of the night, Xi Lanyu chuckled, he touched a cigarette, slightly pressed his palm, and the blue flame jumped, and the smoke slowly rose, blurring his face.

He turned his back to the window, and inhaled hard against the evening breeze.

His voice was a kind of low, hoarse after being filtered by tobacco, "You think too much, I don't have what you said." The reason for this cooperation is nothing more than Beichen's reputation, and," he paused, "intangible benefits. ”

Ning Zhi looked at his back.

For some reason, every time he stood in front of the window, he always gave her the feeling that this person was like a lonely moon.

On a dark and starless night, he was the only waning moon hanging high.

Ning Zhi looked at the cold moon and stubbornly spit out three words: "You lie." ”

Chapter 23

The night in Beijiangwan is always very quiet, and there is a feeling of bright lights but silent loneliness.

Xi Lanyu looked at the silent night outside the window, and spit out a puff of pale cyan smoke, his voice was as ethereal as the fog: "Whatever you want." ”

Ning Zhi ignored him, her character, part of which perfectly inherited Ning Man's stubbornness.

She turned to go upstairs, and the moment she stepped up the steps, she turned around, her voice cold and firm: "Anyway, I stick to my opinion. ”

After that, she didn't look at him again, let alone investigate why he was like this.

They are each other's marginals in each other's worlds, and their relationship can only stop at a superficial level.

On the last step of the stairs, Ning Zhi stood upstairs and looked down, Xi Lanyu was still standing in front of the window, he was holding his pocket with one hand and bending his elbow with the other, and his fingertips seemed to rekindle a cigarette.

It seemed even more lonely than the night outside.

-

Ning Xianglan's hometown has a property, which is an old yard handed down from the previous generation, and it is not worth much.

But Ning Xianglan has lived for most of her life and has deep feelings.

Although she has decided to stay in Beicheng for retirement, she still wants to go back again.

Ning Zhi knew that she couldn't persuade herself, but in fact, she didn't persuade at all.

Grandma was in a hurry this time, and she only brought some necessities with her luggage, and although she could buy everything in Beicheng, she must have some old things that she couldn't leave behind.

The old man always lives more and more and misses the old, and if she is not allowed to go, she is not sure.

Ning Zhi parked the car at the high-speed rail station, tilted his head and said, "You promise me, go back and pack up your things and come over." ”

Ning Xianglan couldn't help but laugh: "I can still deceive you as a junior, at most three or four days, and no matter how bad it is, it will definitely not exceed seven days." ”

Ning Zhi leaned over and hugged her: "I'm used to you here, I'm really a little reluctant." Why don't you wait for me to take a vacation, and I'll go back with you? ”

Ning Xianglan: "Nonsense." She deliberately made a straight face, "Besides, as far as your job is concerned, how can you have seven days off, and when the time comes, when the time comes, those things in your hometown will have to be moldy." ”

Ning Zhi was still not at ease, and instructed: "Then pay attention when you sit in the car alone, don't always chat with strangers, people are really not as simple as you were in the era before." ”

Ning Xianglan didn't listen: "Ouch, I always said this when I went back, do you think I was deceived?" He is not very old, but he has a lot of worries. ”

Ning Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "You just have a number in your heart." ”

……

Ning Xianglan took the earliest high-speed train, and after Ning Zhi saw her off, she happened to change the route to go to work in the hospital.

Today happens to be the day when Beichen Gene will reach a cooperation with the hospital.

As soon as Ning Zhi entered the hall, she saw the dean hugging Xi Lanyu walking towards her, and she silently moved two steps to the side to give up the position of the door.

The eyes of the two met in the vast sea of people, and then staggered tacitly.

Ning Zhi nodded, greeted silently, and when Xi Lanyu walked away, she put her hands in her pockets and turned right to the third floor.

Her rotation in orthopaedics has long since ended, and she is now in vascular surgery.

The vascular surgery department and the general surgery rooms and offices are all connected, and everyone knows each other well, and often gets together to chat in their spare time.

When Ning Zhi passed, he was listening to them talk about Beichen, and the center of the topic was naturally Xi Lanyu.

"My God, have you ever seen the president of Beichen, that tall man, that temperament, that figure, it's amazing!"

Some people don't believe it, "Is it really handsome or a money filter?" ”

"Holy! Of course it's true! Lie to you, is it okay for me to be on the night shift for seven days in a row? ”

"Ruthless," the colleague next to him gave a thumbs up, "you've managed to pique my curiosity." Eh, is he here at the venue, why don't we go over and take a look? ”

The colleague who provoked the topic immediately hesitated, "But the office can't be without ......."

"Who said that?" Another colleague glanced at Ning Zhi, who was sitting silently, and said, "Isn't this someone?" Besides, the director will be here soon, and we'll take a look, and we'll have time. ”

Before the two colleagues left, they seemed to think that this was not very good, thought about it, and then went back to ask Ning Zhi, "Are you going?" ”

Ning Zhi smiled and replied lightly: "Go ahead, I'll forget it." ”

Colleagues were obviously relieved: "Then please look at it, the venue is very close, call us if you have something." ”

Ning Zhi nodded and said yes.

Not long after the two left, the director arrived.

Although today's major event is the cooperation between Beichen and the hospital, patients can not care about this, and the vascular surgery department is still overcrowded.

Ning Zhi worked as an assistant to the director for a morning, and after a few hours of busyness, she had a sore back and ran to the entrance of the building to relax.

It's still the one at the end of the hallway, quiet and private.

Ning Zhi thought that there would be no one here, but he never thought that he would meet Xi Lanyu.

He had a cigarette in his hand, his elbow on the edge of the windowsill, and he leaned slightly sideways, talking on the phone.

Ning Zhi had no intention of eavesdropping, and pinched his shoulders when he saw this, and was about to change places again.

Xi Lanyu called out to her from behind: "Where are you going?" ”

Ning Zhi glanced back at him: "Go find a place to rest for a while." ”

Maybe he was in a good mood today, Xi Lanyu rarely didn't nod, but snuffed out his cigarette and asked her with interest: "Since you are so tired, why did you choose to be a doctor?" ”

Ning Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, not because of his sudden curiosity, but because no one had ever asked her this question since she graduated.

When she chose to study medicine, her grandmother asked her why she was a doctor instead of her favorite Chinese.

In the eyes of the elderly, most medical students are hard, and going to the hospital after graduation is even more difficult.

Unlike Chinese, when I returned to my hometown to become a language teacher, I was not only respected, but also had winter and summer vacations.

Ning Zhi explained at the time that her division of mathematics and medicine was just not wasted, and medicine was an ace major, and if her first choice was not recorded, she could still study Chinese language and literature in her second choice.

Of course, this is just a set of rhetoric.

In fact, she knew in her heart that this was not the truest thought in her heart.

Ning Zhi stood in place and glanced at Xi Lanyu.

The two looked at each other, neither dodging nor evading.

Ning Zhi smelled the room with the smell of Chinese medicine in a trance, and she said lightly: "When I was a child, my health was not good, and my daily task was to drink Chinese medicine in addition to studying. Ning Zhi paused and continued, "Actually, I don't have so many lofty ambitions to study medicine, I just thought that doctors can make me no longer sick and relieve my mother's pain in the later stage, and I feel like it's not bad." ”

"Of course," Ning Zhi smiled lightly, and said, "I now have some newer and deeper understandings. ”

Xi Lanyu grabbed the cigarette case in his hand, twisted it gently, and was about to speak.

Ning Zhi suddenly heard a few voices of colleagues talking not far away.

"I really want to know, who is talking about Mr. Xi's top rich and handsome man with a successful career and a sense of social responsibility?"

"Does this still need to be said? It must be the right door, and it's not good to be a childhood sweetheart. ”

"But I heard he's single."

"Do you believe this? Do rich people say they don't love money? ”

“……”

Seeing that they were about to turn the corner and come to this side.

Ning Zhi didn't know why, and suddenly felt a sense of weakness.

She stepped forward, silently said "offended", then lifted her toes, grabbed his tie, and dragged him into the side of the corridor.

She moved quickly, and her brushed hair gently swept over Xi Lanyu's jaw, a little itchy.

Xi Lanyu twisted his fingertips and obediently let her move.

There was no light in the hallway, only the small window at the top of the stairs let in some light, and there was a hazy and dim feeling.

The sound of speech outside the door continued, and Ning Zhi lowered his head and held his breath.

She did not deliberately conceal the fact that she was married, but she still did not want too many people to know about the fact that she was married to Xi Lanyu.
