She hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean yin and yang to work." I really think your work is so intense that most people can't bear it. ”

Xi Lanyu didn't speak anymore, he always seemed to be silent most of the time.

When Ning Zhi finished speaking and looked at him, he had already taken the lead in looking away.

It's hard to guess what he's thinking.

Ning Zhi didn't speak again.

-

Xi Lanyu had something to do temporarily, and Ning Zhi took another car to send her grandmother to Beichen Hospital.

Beichen is known as the best private hospital in Beicheng, and the word "good" does not only refer to the superior environment, but also the multiple superposition of service, medical care, and humanistic care.

It is estimated that it was because Xi Lanyu had specially explained that as soon as Ning Zhi got out of the car, several nurses who were responsible for taking care of Ning Xianglan were already waiting outside.

Xi Lanyu arranged a VIP suite on the top floor for Ning Xianglan, a room of this level, with no supporting facilities, and it is actually similar to living at home.

What satisfies Ning Zhi the most is that there are three nurses and one attending physician for each patient.

In this way, whenever Ning Xianglan is a little uncomfortable, she can get the most timely care.

Ning Zhi handed over the luggage that Ning Xianglan had brought over to the nurse in this room, and she sat down to talk to Ning Xianglan.

When she returned to Nancheng this time, Ning Xianglan actually had the intention of not going back.

Before returning home, Ning Zhi simply packed up the old belongings at home, took away the important ones that he could bring, and piled the rest at home for the time being, and kept them for the next time.

Ning Zhi glanced at Ning Xianglan, who was lying on the hospital bed: "Grandma, have you really thought about it?" Are we really going to sell the house? ”

Ning Xianglan "harmed" her voice, "If you don't go back, why do you keep it, it's better to find a suitable buyer, it's not a waste." ”

Ning Zhi was a little reluctant: "You have lived there for most of your life." ”

Ning Xianglan moved a suitable position and said with a smile: "You stupid boy, people have such a long life, catch what you should catch, put what you should put away, look forward, don't look back." ”

Ning Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay, then I'll hang it on the Internet for you first, and we will try to find someone who cares about the house." ”

Ning Zhi had to go to work the next day, and after chatting with Ning Xianglan for about half an hour, she took the car back to Beijiangwan.

The villa was quiet, and Ning Zhi guessed that Xi Lanyu probably hadn't come back yet. She took a glass of water and was about to go upstairs when she heard a quarrel in the study.

Xi Yueting's deep and suppressed voice was like a muffled thunder on a thunderstorm, "If it weren't for me and Lan Yin, you wouldn't know where you are now!" How? Now that the wings are stiff, that's how you talk to me? ”

Ning Zhi intuitively felt that she had heard something she shouldn't have heard, and she stood on the stairs, her hand holding the cup tightened slightly.

- What do you mean by not knowing where?

- Where should Xi Lanyu go?

Before Ning Zhi could come up with a reason, the door of the study opened from the inside with a "bang".

Xi Yueting threw the door and saw Ning Zhi outside, he was stunned at first, then glared at her fiercely, and went downstairs and fell onto the door.

Ning Zhi was a little subtly speechless, no, what was she staring at, she didn't listen on purpose.

She was about to go back to the room with a water cup, and when she looked up, she suddenly found Xi Lanyu standing in front of the study looking at her.

They were separated by a long distance, but Ning Zhi's heart trembled inexplicably.

I can't tell you how much emotion was in those eyes, but it was probably scrutiny, an accident? And that little bit of compassion?

Compassion for what?

She? Or is it himself?

Ning Zhi turned to put the water cup aside and walked towards Xi Lanyu, and said calmly, "I haven't heard anything except the last sentence. ”

Ning Zhi was already vaguely aware of the intricacies of the Xi family, like a silent black hole entangled in cobwebs, which would engulf people at a glance, Ning Zhi cautiously chose to avoid it, unwilling to delve into it.

Xi Lanyu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her, and his voice was low: "Not curious? ”

"Curious about what?" Ning Zhi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I said, everyone has secrets, and the best decency that adults give each other is to respect each other and never be curious. ”

"Of course," Ning Zhi put the hairpin in his ear behind his ear, tilted his head slightly, and looked into his eyes seriously, "If you want to say, I can be a deaf person now." ”

What this means: If you want to speak, I'm willing to listen. But I can be deaf, so I assure you that I will not hear anything, let alone tell your secrets.

Xi Lanyu didn't speak.

I don't know if the light above his head flashed, or if Xi Lanyu's eyes flashed a little ripple.

This moment was so fast that Ning Zhi almost thought it was just his illusion.

Maybe it's really just an illusion.

Because Xi Lanyu was silent for a moment, he suddenly reached out and touched her hair, and his voice was hoarse: "Go back to the room." ”

Ning Zhi was a little stunned for a moment, Xi Lanyu had never behaved so affectionately towards her at such a daily and sober moment.

But......

Never mind.

Ning Zhi was stunned for a moment, his lips twitched for a long time, and he still didn't say anything after all.

……

In the middle of the night, Ning Zhi went downstairs to pour water, and suddenly saw Xi Lanyu standing in front of the window.

He was rarely a smoker, and the silver cigarette case and lighter were tossed aside.

He bowed slightly, one hand on the edge of the windowsill, the evening breeze blowing outside the window made the wine in his glass sway slightly, he looked lazily and took a silent sip.

It's weird.

He was clearly wearing satin-black loungewear, but Ning Zhi didn't know why, he always felt as if he was drowning in a dark blue sea, so cold that it was suffocating.

-

Zheng Yiman learned that his grandmother had a fracture, and immediately left his work and ran to Beichen Hospital.

She is a well-known "social gangster" and has a knack for making the elderly happy.

Ning Xianglan was so amused by her, she covered her stomach and said with a smile: "Xiao Man, I can't talk anymore, if I continue to talk, my leg will be in vain." ”

Zheng Yiman got up quickly: "Okay, then I'll come back next time to relieve your boredom." ”

Ning Zhi joked: "You've been here too much, grandma is afraid that she doesn't even remember my granddaughter, and she misses you." ”

Zheng Yiman turned his head and pointed at Ning Zhi, and said to Ning Xianglan: "Look, I'm still jealous." ”

Ning Xianglan smiled and told the two of them to slow down on the road.

As soon as he got out of the ward, Zheng Yiman smiled and asked, "Grandma, how did you get this?" ”

Ning Zhi said truthfully as she walked: "On the day my grandmother returned home, she encountered a robbery. ”

Zheng Yiman was puzzled: "Crazy, there are cameras near the high-speed railway station, how dare that person?" ”

Ning Zhi was also speechless: "That's it, I don't know what she thinks, anyway, it's almost over now, and she doesn't even want to escape from any of the punishments that should be punished." ”

Zheng Yiman pouted: "Another day, let's go to the temple to ask for a peace charm for grandma, how do you think about it, how do you feel a little bit back." ”

Ning Zhi nodded: "I think so too." ”

The two walked out of the gate of Beichen, and Zheng Yiman looked back at this magnificent hospital.

She leaned close to Ning Zhi and bumped her shoulder, "Hey, this place, Xi Lanyu arranged it, right?" ”

Ning Zhi knew what she was thinking, and glanced at her: "I warn you, don't think about it. ”

Zheng Yiman smiled: "I didn't say anything, what are you lacking in?" ”

Ning Zhi stopped talking.

Zheng Yiman asked sideways again: "This time Nancheng picked up my grandmother, did he also help?" ”

Ning Zhi paused for a few seconds, wanting to be perfunctory but not wanting to lie to her good sister, and finally reluctantly said "um".

Seeing that Zheng Yiman was going to continue to ask questions, Ning Zhi hurriedly changed the topic: "Don't keep asking me, what did you say about your own blind date?" ”

After listening to this, Zheng Yiman smiled mysteriously: "What a blind date, how can I have the fragrance of my new little milk dog." ”

Ning Zhi instantly felt that she couldn't keep up with her thinking, "Huh? ”

Zheng Yiman leaned his face over: "Look, isn't it radiant?" Let me tell you, the day you and Mr. Xi end their sexless marriage, you will be able to experience my happiness. ”

Somehow, Ning Zhi's mind inexplicably appeared Xi Lanyu's unwavering, very ascetic and restrained face at first glance.

She quickly shook her head: "We are a contract couple, impossible." ”

Zheng Yiman said with a smile: "You are called 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', Xi Lanyu is actually enough for you." Think about it, if he really thinks of you as a plastic wife, it is necessary to contribute money and effort like this? ”

Ning Zhi was still unmoved, "Doesn't he have a foundation, maybe he loves to do charity." ”

Zheng Yiman poked her head with hatred: "You, you're angry with me." Your mind knows everything so quickly, how can you be so slow to be emotional? ”

-

On the way back that day, Zheng Yiman made a meal on his mobile phone, and when he got out of the car, he patted Ning Zhi on the shoulder: "Last time, I lived in Mr. Xi's house for so long, so I'm embarrassed, I bought a small gift for the two of you, and remember to receive it in two days." ”

Ning Zhi frowned: "Don't be something weird, right?" ”

Zheng Yiman shook his head calmly: "How is it possible, am I the kind of good sister who will let you die?" ”

Ning Zhi thought of the life-like doll she had given herself and a small wooden stick shape underneath, and nodded sincerely.

Zheng Yiman choked, "It was an accident, this time I promise, it must be a good thing, Mr. Xi will definitely like it." ”

……

Three days later, Ning Zhi received a courier from Zheng Yiman.

Although she made a guarantee with her own personality, Zheng Yiman drank too much and could say anything, Ning Zhi still didn't believe in her personality that could be thrown everywhere, so she decided to secretly dismantle it herself.

Xi Lanyu may have been busy lately, and he has come back later and later.

Ning Zhi was often about to fall asleep when he vaguely heard a faint "drip" coming from the door.

It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and it stands to reason that Xi Lanyu will definitely not come back.

Ning Zhi relieved himself to carry the courier to the sofa and dismantle it.

After all, it's still early, and even if something really unsuitable is dismantled, she has time to hide.
