Xi Lanyu was still standing in front of Ning Man's tomb, he didn't know if he spoke, and he didn't know what he said, the wind in the cemetery blew the hem of his clothes slightly, and his whole person looked like a sense of clarity that was one with the silence of the garden and the falling leaves in the sky.

Like heaven and earth, a heavy silhouette.

-

Ning Zhi decided not to sell the house, and she finally figured out that she didn't need these external proofs to look forward or not.

Even, she felt that even if she embraced the past, it would not affect her future steps.

She called her grandmother and told her that her tone was unusually firm, that the house was not for sale, and that she would return to Beicheng tomorrow.

Ning Xianglan didn't say anything after hearing this, but only sighed, saying that she was old and would follow her in the future.

That night, Ning Zhi put the things that had been packed up in order again.

Although the process was complicated, she experienced a different kind of stability.

In short, she had fun.

Xi Lanyu didn't ask for help, he sat at the table to deal with the documents, and occasionally glanced at Ning Zhi, who was busy and had fine beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead.

This little girl is really interesting.

Peeling back her cold appearance, I can get a glimpse of the innocence of a young girl, but a closer look reveals that it is her in both cases.

There is no disguise, no pretentiousness, it all depends on whether she wants to or not, whether she is comfortable enough.

……

On the car back to Nancheng, Ning Zhi slept for a while, and when she woke up, she subconsciously rubbed her eyes and turned her head to look at the car window.

In the slightly darkened car window, a pair of eyebrows and eyes that looked at him with a smile were reflected.

Ning Zhi was startled and turned around, "I just said in my sleep?" ”

Why else would he look at her like that.

Seeing this, Xi Lanyu put down the document and said "um".

He doesn't look like he is lying, not to mention that Xi Lanyu doesn't seem to be a person who can lie, Ning Zhi is really a little panicked now, "What did I say?" ”

Xi Lanyu looked straight ahead, his tone was flat, but he inexplicably brought a smile that made Ning Zhi's heart bottomless, "You say," he deliberately dragged out his tail and paused for a long time, "Resolutely fight to the end and defeat imperialism." ”

"I can't see that our branches and branches even dream of socialism with Chinese characteristics."

Ning Zhi: "......"

Ning Zhi's breath leaked instantly, and she looked at Xi Lanyu very slowly, blinking her eyes.

Oh my God, who's going to save her.

Ning Zhi pursed her lower lip, she didn't even dare to look directly at Xi Lanyu, her head lowered slowly, slowly.

Then, Ning Zhi covered his face with both hands and let out a miserable "whimper".

She's just, that's it, after cleaning up last night, she's a little excited, even after taking melatonin, she still can't fall asleep.

Ning Zhi thought, anyway, she could sleep in the car the next day, so she might as well find a movie to watch, maybe she could fall asleep by watching it.

As a result, Ning Zhi clicked on a highly rated revolutionary film from a video website, and vaguely remembered that she was sleepy and could not resist the second before she fainted, and this exciting slogan echoed in her ears.

Hey, it's a ...... to stay up late It's not a shallow way to hurt people.

Xi Lanyu chuckled, he closed the document, and the silver pen cap was fastened, making a crisp "click".

This sound seemed to sound on Ning Zhi's extremely fragile cranial nerves, and her shoulders were folded and she trembled slightly.

Ning Zhi's mind was racing, and she had to find a topic to save her from this suffocating embarrassment.

The breeze that leaked in from the window gently brushed on her face, and Ning Zhi's mind flashed brightly, thinking of the scene in the cemetery.

She sat slightly upright, feigning to be calm, and the topic turned stiff and unnatural, but at the moment, this little detail was completely unimportant.

Ning Zhi turned sideways slightly, and met Xi Lanyu's gaze, she was actually really curious, "May I ask, did you say anything in front of your mother's grave yesterday?" ”

Xi Lanyu's expression seemed to have expected him to ask.

Despite this, he still did not reply immediately, but lowered his eyes and straightened his cuffs, and looked at her again, he always grasped the main scene, and looked into the field, "Then can you tell me, your grievances with the Qian family?" ”

When he looked at people like this, his gaze was particularly oppressive, and Ning Zhi dodged for a moment, "You haven't read my information, just ...... Qian Weiyuan ...... with my mother"

Xi Lanyu's voice was deep and sharper, "You know that's not what I'm talking about. ”

Ning Zhi pulled her lower lip and looked out the window, her voice very soft, "Forget it, I didn't ask." ”

The air in the car seemed to stagnate for a moment, and the tip of the nose slowly flowed only the faint smell of cedar on Xi Lanyu's body.

A moment of calm, an instant undercurrent.

Xi Lanyu suddenly laughed, no longer asked, he maintained the posture of looking at her, "I ask my mother-in-law ......"

Ning Zhi immediately turned around.

I have to admit that this is actually not very fair to Xi Lanyu, and she has never shown the same sincerity in exchange.

But he doesn't seem to care at all, he is always like this, and he tolerates her withdrawal without a bottom line.

Xi Lanyu's thin lips opened lightly, with a bit of the unique laziness of the people of Beicheng, and repeated, "I asked her if she could make her daughter smarter." ”

His voice was always low and pleasant, but these words were particularly harsh in Ning Zhi's ears.

What do you mean?

She frowned slightly, "That's it?" ”

Xi Lanyu leaned back on his shoulders and looked at her quite relaxedly, "Hmm." ”

Ning Zhi was speechless for a moment, and she couldn't help but retort, "Where don't I ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Xi Lanyu suddenly clasped her wrist, he used a slight force, and Ning Zhi approached him uncontrollably.

Despite the restraint of the seat belt, the two people were still very close to each other because of the movement of this moment.

As soon as Ning Zhi stretched out his hand, he could take off Xi Lanyu's glasses, and saw that under his calm face, the moment when he was not very calm collided.

Their breathing was shallow, entangled, entwined, and slightly confused.

Ning Zhi's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably, and she felt that the blood in her whole body was surging because of Xi Lanyu, and she could barely bear it.

Hot cheeks, hot tips of ears, itchy wrists......

In my heart, in the disobedient beating part of my heart, it was as if something was about to come out.

Ning Zhi looked at Xi Lanyu's thin lips, the abrupt bulge between his throat, his deep eyes, and the green tendons on the back of his hand......

She licked her lower lip and swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist.

The air thinned and the atmosphere slowly grew.

The scenery flashing outside the window is almost static with the scene inside the car.

Xi Lanyu's fingertips rubbed Ning Zhi's wrist slightly, it was the kind of butterfly that was like a light touch, going and returning, with a soft and numb touch.

He pressed Ning Zhi's wrist hard, not allowing her to leave, nor allowing her to struggle.

Xi Lanyu's gaze was strong and domineering, unrestrained, unconcealed, making people's hearts palpitate, "Zhizhi, you say, what are we like now?" ”

Ning Zhi was instantly nervous because of his question.

She remembered that she had also asked this question in front of Ning Man.

She didn't get an answer then, and she doesn't have now.

She looked at Xi Lanyu, her eyes showing a slight confusion, "...... I do not know. ”

Yes, she didn't know.

Between them, what is it in the end?

After Xi Lanyu listened, he took a deep breath, he let go of her for a moment, sat back in place, straightened his slightly messy shirt, and his gaze with unknown meaning immediately returned to calm.

He tilted his head, glanced at Ning Zhi again, and chuckled, "Look, you still don't understand." ”

Chapter 43

On the day of returning to Nancheng, it happened to hit the National Day return, the highway was jammed, the two set off at nine o'clock, and when they returned to Beijiangwan, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

It's time to eat.

Ning Zhi didn't have much appetite this way, maybe he didn't sleep well, of course, it was even more likely, the simple meal in the service area tasted really unflattering.

As soon as she returned to the familiar place, her body was exhausted, her stomach was empty, and she reached out and touched her stomach, and she almost cooed.

Xi Lanyu entered the house behind her, and he habitually loosened his tie, took off his suit, and hung it on the left-hand side of the door.

Auntie is still on vacation, and there are no ready-made meals at home, and now this point is called to be delivered, and it is estimated that it will take a long time.

Xi Lanyu glanced at Ning Zhi, who was waiting to be fed, lowered his eyes and rolled up his cuffs, he opened the refrigerator, skillfully picked out the fresh ingredients and put them on the dining table.

Ning Zhi couldn't help but look at him.

It is said that men who can cook are very sexy, but Ning Zhi didn't think it before, and now she doesn't know why, when she saw Xi Lanyu, this sentence popped up in her mind inexplicably.

He wore a black shirt with a slightly loose tie, presumably for breathability, and the well-cut shirt was unbuttoned from above, revealing the slightly concave collarbone edge.

When he lowered his eyes, the silver-rimmed glasses on Xi Lanyu's face refracted fine light under the illumination of the top light, and he looked particularly like a scum.

Xu is for the convenience of cooking, at this moment, his shoulders are slightly relaxed, his expression is indifferent, standing at the dining table habitually unraveling his watch.

"Click".

Exceptionally clear indoors.

The eyes under the lenses were calm and sharp, and the table in front of him looked not like a dining table, but like a strategic negotiation table.

Ning Zhi suddenly found that she seemed to like this kind of Xi Lanyu.

No longer high up, contaminated with a little reassuring smell of fireworks.

There is an unexpected harmony of luxury and life.

Xi Lanyu tacitly took over the cooking, and Ning Zhi was not embarrassed to really sit back and enjoy it, she followed him into the kitchen, trying to see if there was anything she needed help with.
