After washing her hair and taking a shower, Du Ruo dried her body and dried her hair, then fell into the soft fluffy bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
My brain is still in a daze, and my heart is still beating.
There is a feeling of being in trouble.
Confusion, excitement, annoyance, secret joy, all kinds of emotions.
And when she thought of the kiss just now, her face was on fire, she turned around and buried her head in the pillow, kicking the bed with her feet bang bang bang bang.
He's relieved, but she won't be able to sleep tonight.
On the other side of the wall, Jing Ming was very calm on the surface, because he promised Du Ruo to hide it from everyone. So after returning to the room, he tried his best to restrain himself, overdoing it, as if he was in a bad mood.
But Li Weiduo knew him well, and he could tell at a glance that he was pretending, so he didn't let him go.
When he was taking a shower in the bathroom alone, the corners of his raised mouth almost flew into the sky.
Even after turning off the lights and going to bed, I laughed silently in the dark, my heart was so excited, I laughed for a while and turned over to continue laughing, and after a while, I changed my posture and laughed again.
Until Li Wei couldn't help complaining: "What time is it? Can you sleep?"
Only then did he stop tossing about.
That night, all members of the Prime team slept peacefully, happily and contentedly.
The dream starts the first step.
Everyone didn't get up early the next day, and we checked out at 11:00 noon. A group of people rushed into the corridor, Jing Ming and Du Ruo briefly looked at each other and then looked away, feeling guilty.
All the way down the elevator, everyone huddled together and chatted happily, and they were among them, but they didn't talk to each other. He couldn't help it, and deliberately left behind when he went out, and secretly scratched her palm.
Startled, she turned to stare at him. He looked ahead and smiled.
We had lunch together at Bao'an Airport, everyone dispersed and went back to their homes.
Jingming gave everyone more than a week off. On August 1st, the laboratory gathers. After all, the brilliance achieved in Shenzhen has stayed in Shenzhen, and the main task has to return to Prime No.2.
Jing Ming frowned when he learned at the airport that Du Ruo was going home without going back to Beijing, but he didn't say anything.
Half of the team is from Beijing, and the boarding gate is still behind.
Everyone waved goodbye to Du Ruo.
Jing Ming couldn't make it too obvious, he dragged himself to the end of the line, and when he passed by her, he whispered:
"Come back soon."
"Oh." She whispered.
He walked away with the other boys, walked a certain distance, and looked back pretendingly unintentionally.
She was no longer there and went to the waiting area.
After Du Ruo sat down, she was alone for a while, thinking about her relationship with Jingming, she still had a vague sense of unreality. After much deliberation, I couldn't figure it out, so I just ignored it.
Board, take off.
The seaside capital of Shenzhen quickly left behind, and the brilliance and glory of a few days ago also faded slightly.
Fall to the southwest border.
Buses, passenger cars, motorcycles, mountain roads, after a whole day of tossing, she finally returned to the small dilapidated mud hut in the ravine.
For a time, it seemed like a lifetime away.
It was evening when she got home.
A dim light bulb hangs in the center of the main room, the walls are bare, and the old newspapers pasted on the walls have long since turned yellow and peeled off. Simple cooker, dilapidated tables and chairs. Walking through the main room and entering the room, there are three small wooden beds where the three generations of grandparents live together. The original color of the wooden wardrobes in the 1990s can no longer be distinguished, and the doors of the cabinets are almost falling off.
Du Ruo said softly: "Didn't you send money home? Why don't the beds and cabinets be replaced with new ones?"
"You can use it, don't waste it." Mom said with a smile, "I will save the money for you."
She looked back at her mother, who was in her forties, as old as Jing's grandma, she felt an unspeakable sourness in her heart, put down her luggage, turned around and went out to cook and chop pig grass.
I have not done farm work for a long time, and I am not used to it. Before I go to bed, I feel that my arms are sore and uncomfortable.
At night, Du Ruo lay on the small bed, listening to her long-sick grandmother groaning in pain in her sleep, and did not fall asleep for a long time.
She quietly turned over and took out her mobile phone. There were no unread messages.
After scrolling through Moments, Jing Ming posted a picture half an hour ago, a lamp, a computer, and a cup of tea. No text.
He is a person who never posts on Moments, and a long list of likes and comments exploded below.
He Wang: "See you soon, you fucking finally posted on Moments."
He Wang: "Pretend to be B!"
Wan Ziang: "See you in a long time 1, a literary young man?"
Li Wei: "See you for a long time 2, I seem to see through everything."
Tu Zhiyuan: "See you for a long time 3, I'm in a daze."
Zhu Tao: "Long time to see 4, if you count your fingers, there must be something wrong."
Added all the way up to 27…
Du Ruo touched the small box of the message, wanted to like it, but after thinking about it, she put away her phone and turned over to sleep.
In the next few days, she stayed with her mother and grandma at ease, helping out with housework, cooking, growing vegetables, feeding chickens and pigs, and was too busy to think about other things.
She didn't take the initiative to contact Jing Ming, and he didn't take the initiative to look for her either. I don't know if he was busy or was in a vague rivalry.
He actually sent a message in the Prime group, saying that he met Mr. Yan Ruoyu. After watching their match in Shenzhen, Yan Lao contacted him and decided to become an investor of Prime.
As soon as the news came out, the group suddenly boiled, and hundreds of comments were left for discussion.
But Du Ruo was catching insects and weeding in the cornfield, and it was already night when he saw the news.
Tu Zhiyuan was still asking in the group: "Eh? Where did Xiaocao go? Disappeared?"
Jingming replied, "Oh, who knows."
That was four hours ago, and the group is quiet now.
Du Ruo ignored him, put down his phone, and put the food on the table.
A family of three sat around to eat.
Halfway through eating, she asked in a low voice, "Mom, do you remember Aunt Mingyi's son?"
Mother Du recalled: "I remember, she looks very good-looking."
Du Ruo pulled the rice, the corners of his lips curled secretly.
The mother smiled kindly: "He refuses to come to our house for dinner, and he refuses to drink water when served. The child has a temper."
Du Ruo's smile froze, and she directly logged out of WeChat in the next few days.
After a week of inexplicable stalemate, when she went to bed that night, she suddenly received a text message from Jing Ming: "When are you going back to Beijing?"
Her ticket was for the next day, but she replied, "Stay a few more days, why?"
There was no response from that end.
She held the phone and waited for two minutes, but to no avail, puffed her mouth and threw the phone aside.
Just drop it, the screen lights up.
The message came: "I will find you tomorrow."
She was so startled that she almost fell off the bed: "Don't come!"
He wondered: "Why? I want to go to the mountains to play."
Her: "I'll be back tomorrow!"
He: "I don't believe it."
She was in a hurry: "Really. Li Wei has booked all our return tickets from other provinces. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. Didn't he tell you?"
he:"......"
"Hold."
"I'm going to kill him!"
She was about to ask what was going on.
He: "Flight information is here."
She thought he didn't believe it, so she sent it.
He didn't say much, and said, "Rest early, catch the plane tomorrow."
Her: "Oh."
Him: "Good night."
Her: "Ann."
Put down the phone and sleep peacefully.
The next day, she bid farewell to her mother and grandma, and once again left the remote village and embarked on the journey to the metropolis of Beijing.
When the plane landed at the Capital International Airport, she suddenly remembered what happened last year. At that time, she took the train to Beijing West Railway Station, lost in the turbulent crowd, dazed, restless, excited and apprehensive.
Thinking about it now, I feel a little emotional.
She pulled the suitcase and went out, and saw Jing Ming standing in his pocket, waiting for her at the exit.
She didn't know he was coming, and she was a little surprised when she saw him from afar.
He didn't have any expression on his face, his eyes locked on her lightly.
The two came together and didn't speak for the first few seconds. They hadn't seen each other for a week, but they were inexplicably a little rusty and reserved.
She whispered, "Why are you here?"
"What do you think?" He was not very polite, and took the suitcase in her hand.
She felt warm in her heart, but he glanced up and down at her and said, "It's tanned."
"No way!" she said immediately.
Jing Ming: "It's dark."
She gave him a white look, and he snorted.
The two of them didn't talk anymore, they were still a little embarrassed, as if they didn't know how to get along with each other for a while.
He dragged the suitcase and walked in front, and she followed aside, glanced at his tall back, and suddenly remembered when he picked her up at the train station last year, so she went up and kicked him.
He looked back at her in bewilderment, but he didn't ask, and he didn't get angry. Instead, he stretched out his hand and held her hand tightly. After holding her hand, I interlocked my fingers again, and gently brought her to my side, walking side by side.
With this pull, it was natural, and that little awkwardness disappeared in an instant.
…
Out of the airport, the heat wave hits us.
Walking to the parking lot, Du Ruo's face was covered with sweat.
And his ostentatious orange sports car is particularly conspicuous. As she approached, the door opened automatically.
The two sat up from both sides, the car door was closed, he glanced at her expressionlessly, and said mockingly, "You just fished it out of the water?"
"I sweat very easily." She wiped the sweat from her mouth with the back of her hand, and in the next second, a pack of tissues was handed over.
She took out a tissue to wipe it off, and said to herself, "Beijing is so hot, I think it's suffocating in the dormitory."
He had just inserted the car keys, and when he heard this, he turned his head and said, "You live at my house."
She was stunned for a moment, her expression was not sure whether it was resistance or resistance: "I... I'd better go back to school—"
He interrupted: "My mother said it's been a long time since I saw you."
"… oh."
"She asked you to stay a few days longer."
Du Ruo was still hesitating.
He frowned and said, "Don't take the initiative to see her during the summer vacation, you're sorry."
"..."
When she thought about it, it was indeed a long time since she had seen Aunt Mingyi. It's summer vacation now, and it's time to check it out, so I nodded: "Okay."
He raised his eyebrows very slightly, and after a while, he asked, "Did you miss me?"
"Ah?" She blushed and turned her eyes away.
"Tell me, do you miss me?"
"..." She couldn't hide anyway, and whispered, "I think about it."
He looked at her for a while, the corners of his lips curled, he suddenly unbuckled his seat belt, and leaned over. He looked down at her lips, his eyes slowly moved up, and slid into her eyes, staring seriously. The meaning is very obvious.
With a blushing face, she slowly moved closer and touched his lips lightly. Well, soft.
He stared at her, still not moving.
"..." Then she touched her lips again, and this time, she licked his lips lightly.
As soon as she let go, he caught up with her slightly, took her lips in his mouth, and began to suck her lips very gently.
He didn't stop until he kissed each other's breathing became more and more chaotic and hurried, let go of her reluctantly, kissed her ear again, and whispered: "I miss you to death."
I miss you too, I miss you very much.
…
Arriving home after 4:00 pm, Jing Yuanshan and Ming Yi have jobs and are not there.
Du Ruo was staying in the guest room, just after packing up the clothes, the phone rang.
Jing Ming: "Come to the study."
When Du Ruo went out, she saw Mrs. Chen had prepared a large plate of fruit and lemonade and was about to bring it upstairs, and said, "Give it to me, I'll just go up."
"Thank you, Ms. Du." Mrs. Chen didn't show any politeness to her either.
She went up to the third floor and gently kicked the door: "Open the door."
"I don't have long hands." The person inside said.
"I have something in my hand!"
Footsteps approached quickly.
Jing Ming opened the door, took the things in her hand, and put them on the ground.
A pile of control boards, motors, joints, wires, housings and batteries on the ground.
Du Ruo went over excitedly and sat down cross-legged: "Are you making a robot?"
"Hmm." He replied.
There was the sound of a machine beside him.
Du Ruo turned around, Eva Hanhan ran over from the corner, stopped beside the plate of fruit, rolled her big eyes around, and suddenly asked cutely: "What is this?"
Du Ruo's eyes widened in surprise: "She can talk?"
Jing Ming raised his head: "Ah."
In the next second, Eva turned around stupidly, raised her head to look at her, and said in a sticky voice, "Who are you?"
Du Ruo was pleasantly surprised: "I'm Du Ruo."
Jing Ming let out a chuckle and rubbed his nose: "Are you stupid?"
Eva tilted her head and looked at Du Ruo for a while, then said to herself: "You girl has a bad temper."
Du Ruo:? ?
"I have a good temper," she said.
Eva looked at her for a while, and said a word: "Oh."
After finishing speaking, Da Da ran to Jing Ming's side.
"So cute!" Her tone softened because of Eva's cuteness, "When will she talk?"
He said: "I did it a few days ago. Heh, it's not difficult."
"But it's so cute." She crawled to him to look at Eva, touched her little hand for a while, and touched her eyes for a while.
He glanced sideways at her who was close at hand, his lips curved slightly, and continued with what he was doing.
Du Ruo played with Eva for a while, then crawled to the corner and pointed to the pile of robots: "Can I have a look?"
"Look." He said indifferently.
She observed them one by one, very seriously.
He glanced at her from time to time and explained: "What you are looking at is a sweeping robot."
"Did you buy it, or did you make it?"
"I made all our sweeping robots."
"Awesome." She said to herself, and then asked, "Which is your first robot?"
"On the left, black, 30 cm high."
"The first time you did it in human form?" She was surprised, "How old were you then?"
"Six or seven years old."
"Wow!" She sighed and turned on the switch. The robot walked slowly, and she poked it. It was pushed and wobbled, but it didn't fall down. She praised, "It's the first time I've made a robot and I know how to balance it dynamically. It's really amazing."
Without saying a word, he took a glass of lemonade and drank it, the rim of the glass covering the corners of his slightly curved lips.
He put down the glass and said, "Come and eat watermelon."
"Oh." She sat down opposite him again, gnawed on a watermelon, and looked back at the bookshelf, "Have you read all the books here?"
"No. The one I read is in the study next door."
"There's a study next door? I want to see it." She became curious.
"Go." He said casually.
The adjoining study has three walls of bookshelves.
Sure enough, ten seconds later, she exclaimed in a low voice: "My God!"
Sitting on the ground and fiddling with the robot components, he couldn't help laughing. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows with the back of his hand.
He didn't stop until he heard her footsteps coming back, and started to do what he was doing seriously.
Du Ruo ran in, knelt down on the floor beside him, and asked, "Do you want me to help?"
Jing Ming gave her a bunch of joints and wires on the ground.
She took it and assembled it, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to lend your book to outsiders?"
Jingming glanced at her: "Are you an outsider?"
She froze for a moment, her heart ached, she stopped talking, she tilted her head cheerfully, and continued to assemble the robot.
He raised his eyes to glance at her, and lowered his eyes to work seriously.
The two stayed until seven or eight o'clock in the afternoon, unaware that the sun was setting outside the window and the sky was full of sunset clouds.
Until a certain moment, Ming Yi's gentle voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Jing, why haven't you seen Xiao Ruo?"
The next second, the door was pushed open.
When Ming Yi pushed open the door, he saw two children sitting on the ground, head to head, bowing their heads and working on the same robot seriously. She froze for a moment, quite surprised.
Du Ruo was also taken aback, raised her head anxiously, and smiled: "Aunt Mingyi."
"Xiao Ruo is here." Ming Yi said with a smile, "I said why didn't I see it everywhere." He said again, "Forgot the time, I'm going downstairs for dinner."
Jing Ming: "Understood. Immediately."
Knowing that he was busy, Ming Yi didn't say much, and closed the door.
When I went downstairs, I thought about it for a while, and I was quite surprised. When did these two children get along so well
In the room, Du Ruo didn't speak, and helped Jingming finish the finishing work earnestly.
Jing Ming suddenly asked, "Why were you nervous just now?"
Du Ruo was startled, and said with a smile: "No, it's just that someone came in suddenly, and I was shocked."
Having said that, but at that moment, I was inexplicably scared like a thief.
"With me here, why are you scared?" He said dissatisfiedly, and reached out to touch her head again, "Go down, have dinner."
