He Huanhuan didn't expect Jingming to turn around and leave, and suddenly felt like he was in trouble. Thinking back to his sudden change of expression when he heard that it was a proposal ring just now, he couldn't bear it.
She was holding the ring box anxiously when the door opened again.
Du Ruo walked in: "Let's go."
He Huanhuan immediately ran forward: "Xiaocao, Jingming came to see you just now. It shouldn't be far away, let's go down and find him."
Du Ruo was stunned, and suddenly remembered the quarrel in the morning: "Why did he come to see me?" He said so, but he couldn't help but started to lock the door with his bag and keys, and walked out.
"I..." Huanhuan's words were on the verge of her mouth, she didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly said, "Call me and ask."
"I don't have his phone number." Du Ruo said, and walked out quickly.
Walking to the door, I met Yi Kun head-on: "Du Ruo, I was just going to find you."
"Ah? What's the matter?"
"free tonight?"
Du Ruo: "I'm going to have dinner with my friends tonight, and I've already made an appointment. What's the matter?"
Yi Kun: "It's okay, it's just a business dinner. You have fun."
"I'm sorry. I'll see you later." After greeting Du Ruo, she hurried to the elevator.
While running, He Huanhuan glanced back at Yi Kun, then at Du Ruo's vaguely anxious look, and hurriedly helped press the elevator.
Jing Ming strode out of the office building and went straight to the side of the road. Seeing this, the driver immediately opened the car door for him, not wanting him to step up suddenly and kick the rear of the car, causing a big hole.
The driver was startled and didn't dare to speak.
Jing Ming took a deep breath and got into the car.
The driver closed the door and sat in the driver's seat lightly. The people behind did not speak, and he dared not drive.
After waiting for a few minutes, Jing Ming said, "Drive."
The driver just started the car, Jing Ming: "Stop!"
The driver stopped immediately, and Jing Ming pushed the door behind him, got out of the car, and went straight to the office building again. It was rush hour, and the elevator stopped and went. After finally getting on an elevator, the rising number seemed to be particularly slow.
Finally reached the 22nd floor.
Jingming rushed out of the elevator, went to Yuanqian's office area, walked to Du Ruo's office, pushed his hand,
The door is locked.
she left.
His heart suddenly sank.
…
Du Ruo and He Huanhuan ran to the underground parking lot together.
But Jing Ming was nowhere to be seen.
Du Ruo stretched her neck to search around, but she couldn't find it. She said to herself, "Maybe he left."
He Huanhuan was flustered and was about to confess to her.
Du Ruo's cell phone rang, and Qiu Yuchen called to remind her that she and Xia Nan had arrived at the restaurant. Putting down the phone, He Huanhuan said: "Why don't you go to him. Go to us after you're done."
"Forget it, he came and left, it shouldn't be a big deal." Du Ruo said, "And today is to celebrate your engagement, which is more important. Let's go."
Huanhuan whispered: "But he just..."
"It doesn't matter." Du Ruo smiled, "I'll talk about it next time I see him. Today is an important anniversary for you, you just have to enjoy yourself."
"...Okay." It was even harder for Huanhuan to speak.
The four girls gathered together, and the joyful atmosphere instantly diluted all other thoughts.
Qiu Yuchen immediately grabbed He Huanhuan's hand to look at the diamond ring: "I'll go, it's beautiful!"
Du Ruo said: "I used to watch TV and think, why do we have to get a diamond ring for marriage. Now that I see it, it's really beautiful and meaningful. So, a sense of ceremony is still necessary."
Qiu Yuchen looked at her with raised eyebrows: "I think the same as you!" After speaking, he squeezed He Huanhuan's hand hard, "You little girl is so happy!"
Xia Nan said: "I didn't expect that you would be the first among the four of us to get married. Well, the remaining three boyfriends are gone."
Du Ruo asked with a smile, "Who did you think would get married first?"
Xia Nan thought about it seriously, and said, "I thought the four of us would be older single and independent new women."
Du Ruo chuckled.
Qiu Yuchen drank water and raised his hand: "I thought so too. However, I really like the new name you gave to 'Leftover Women'."
He Huanhuan said: "However, I still have more than a year to get married. If any of you have a flash marriage during this period, you will get ahead of me. It is not known who will get the title of 'first to get married'."
Xia Nan: "I won't get married in a flash."
Qiu Yuchen: "Me neither."
Du Ruo was the only one left, and said, "I don't think I can either."
He Huanhuan shrugged, and his ring-wearing left hand flashed in front of them: "Then I'm sorry, I'll take a step first."
Qiu Yuchen opened her hand in disgust, and flipped through the menu: "You treat me today, I want to eat the most expensive dish!"
"Let's order." He Huanhuan said, "Zeng Kefan said, he will give me a red envelope as much as I eat."
The other three rolled their eyes at the same time: "Slightly—"
He Huanhuan laughed loudly.
Due to Huanhuan's engagement, the topic of the dinner revolved around her and Zeng Kefan. The four of them drank red wine, ate western food, and laughed until almost ten o'clock at night.
Du Ruo and Huanhuan took a taxi to the entrance of the community, walked and chatted all the way into the corridor. Huanhuan said that Zeng Kefan plans to hold an engagement ceremony for her next month.
Du Ruo was surprised: "So formal?"
"Well, he said that all the procedures must be completed." Huanhuan looked happy, "Although he is usually busy with work and looks unromantic, he does things with a heart."
Du Ruo said: "I've been in his class for so long, and I haven't seen his romantic side at all. So I left it all to you."
The two chatted on twitter, and the stairs had already climbed to the fifth and a half floors.
As soon as he turned the corner, He Huanhuan looked towards the door of his house, and suddenly there was a pause, and the smile disappeared.
Du Ruo looked over, and saw Jing Ming in the dim and messy stairwell, wearing a dark blue thin windbreaker, standing at the door of her house, waiting for her quietly.
His eyes stayed on Du Ruo's face for a second, and then fell on He Huanhuan's face, becoming sharp.
Guiltyly, He Huanhuan hid the ring-wearing left hand behind his back and lowered his head.
Du Ruo walked up the stairs slowly in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "How do you know I live here?"
Jing Ming glanced at her, but didn't make a sound. Naturally, it cannot be said that on the day she was drunk, he came after her and saw the lights on the 6th floor of this unit building.
"How long have you been here?" she asked again.
He word by word: "Just came."
"..."
Du Ruo guessed that he might have waited for a few hours, so he lowered his head and opened the door in a muffled voice.
Jingming looked at He Huanhuan again, and Huanhuan shuddered again, nervous all over. He pointed to the gift bag at the door, and said bluntly: "It's my first visit, sorry to bother you."
Du Ruo: "..."
In the narrow and cramped stairwell, the atmosphere was eerie.
He Huanhuan bit the bullet and went over to take a look, picked up the gift bag and walked into the room: "You guys have a good talk." After speaking, he automatically and consciously rolled back to the room and closed the door.
Du Ruo: "..."
The two entered the house.
The space in the house is small, the small hall is just a corridor, there are no tables and chairs, he is tall, the two of them squeezed together, there is no place to turn around.
She said awkwardly, "Go into the room and sit down."
And the room is also very small, not as big as his bathroom, it can walk from the door to the bed in two steps.
Jing Ming stood at the door of her room, took off his shoes and walked onto the carpet.
Just as Du Ruo was about to take off his shoes, he thought for a while and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Jingming glanced at the window sill and said, "Eat."
Du Ruo didn't know his awkward character, and said, "Let me cook you a bowl of rice wine glutinous rice balls, it will be ready soon." After speaking, he turned and went to the kitchen.
Jing Ming stood in her bedroom with his pockets in his pocket, and looked around. The colors in the room were clean, light pink, light blue, soft white. There is a row of soft and succulents on the window sill, and small fish are swimming in the water with money grass. There is a fragrant smell in the air, which is the fragrance of her body wash and skin care products.
There was the sound of pots and bowls in the kitchen, and she was boiling water to cook glutinous rice balls.
He can't sit on the carpet or on the bed, only a small chair in front of the desk.
Jing Ming pulled out the chair and was about to sit down when he suddenly heard a chuffing sound. He looked down and saw a small white robot with smiling eyes, happily running to the carpet to clean his shoes. .
He walked over, put the shoes outside the door, and the door closed.
Wali suddenly lost his shoes, looked up at him blankly, his eyes and mouth drooped in frustration: "Woo~~" That aggrieved little expression, don't mention how pitiful it is.
Jingming: "..."
He opened the door again, brought in the shoes and put them in front of Wally.
"Woo!!!" Wal-E happily waved his little hand, and with a smile on his eyes, he cleaned up the dust on the edge of the shoe again.
Jingming looked at him for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Is your name Wali?"
Wal-E turned to look at him, tilting his head happily: "Woo~~~"
He stroked his head.
The kitchen door opened, and Jing Ming stood up. Du Ruo brought a bowl of small glutinous rice balls with rice wine, her face was flushed by the heat from the kitchen.
He took the glutinous rice ball bowl and put it on the table, stirred it with a spoon to dissipate the heat, and began to eat slowly.
There was no other place to stay in the room, so Du Ruo sat on the edge of the bed behind him, watching his back.
He ate the small glutinous rice balls in silence, neither of them spoke.
It was quiet in the house.
After Wally finished cleaning, he walked up and down the carpet idly, looking at him, then at her, and then went to look in the mirror again.
After a long time, she said softly, "The things during the day... It's my fault."
He paused slightly from his back, and put the spoon back into the bowl.
She lowered her head and pulled her fingers, and admitted: "I'm angry with you on purpose. Don't be angry, and don't take it to your heart."
He still didn't speak.
She was a little embarrassed, stretched her neck and saw that the bowl was empty, got up and went over: "I'm going to wash the dishes."
Before his hand touched the bowl, he suddenly turned around, pulled her to his side, and hugged her waist.
Du Ruo went numb all over and froze in place.
Jingming put his arms around her waist, buried his head between her chest and abdomen, opened his mouth, and called out, "Chun'er."
Her eye sockets suddenly became wet, and she tried to open her eyes wide: "Huh?"
His voice seemed to be exhausted and desperate after six years: "Help me."
Du Ruo burst into tears in an instant, she hurriedly wiped her face, fearing that he would find out, she choked slightly and said, "Okay. Tell me, how can I save it?"
"You don't go."
"I didn't leave, I was here all the time."
"Wait for me for a few more days, okay?" He hugged her tightly, unconsciously rubbing his head on her stomach a few times, "You are right in saying something today, I have no goal, no purpose. What do you want, the future I can't see everything about it... You're right.
Chun'er, give me a few days and wait for me to sort everything out. I seem to be lost, but I'll be back. You wait for me. OK? "
She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and nodded her head: "Okay. I'll wait for you." She gently hugged his head and stroked his hair, "Don't worry, let alone be afraid. I didn't leave, we didn't leave Woolen cloth."
He buried his head in front of her, hugged her, and didn't move or speak for a long time.
Only gradually, she felt a trace of warm moisture coming from her abdomen. Whose tears silently wet her clothes.
…
Du Ruo came back to her room after washing the dishes, and unexpectedly found Jing Ming curled up on her small bed and fell asleep.
Her bed was small and short, and he lay on his side, occupying almost the entire bed.
She tiptoed to the bedside to cover him with a quilt, squatted down, and looked at his sleeping face, quiet, fragile, with a slight frown between his brows, and even his sleeping face looked tired.
She tilted her head and watched him quietly. He frowned again, as if he felt the light was dazzling.
She wanted him to sleep longer, so she got up quietly, turned off the light, closed the door, and slipped out.
She went to He Huanhuan's room and closed the door.
Huanhuan was sitting on the bed looking at her mobile phone, raised her head: "Is he gone?"
"No. Suddenly fell asleep. She seems very tired." Du Ruo said, accidentally glanced at the gift bag on the sofa.
Huanhuan said: "I just remembered that when I was in college, he bought a bunch of things to bribe people in our dormitory. I didn't expect that after so many years, the habits in his bones have not changed at all."
Du Ruo smiled: "I also feel that he hasn't changed."
"You really want to reconcile?"
Du Ruo remained silent.
"I knew that you would reconcile with him as soon as he said that." Huanhuan sighed, "You're giving in to him too much, it's not good. Xiaocao, I think you can try to fall in love with someone else and find a condition Quite, gentle and mature, caring for you, living an ordinary life. You are not suitable for turbulent wind and waves, and it is too hard to fall in love with someone like Jingming—”
"I only like him." Du Ruo interrupted softly.
He Huanhuan was taken aback, and said: "I admit that Jingming is indeed too good. After dating someone like him, it must be difficult to fall in love with others. But you never thought that this might be vanity in love..."
"No." Du Ruo interrupted again, "Huanhuan, you don't know my growing environment. So you don't know many things."
"Since I was a child, I have nothing else to do in my life except study. My life seems to be just climbing up mechanically, working hard for the sake of hard work, fighting hard for the sake of hard work, but I don't understand the meaning of it. There is no one around me. Mom doesn't understand friends who can talk. Even the happiness gained in the exam is just superficial.
But then I realized what happiness is.
After going to college, the first time I felt pure happiness was at the sports meeting, the most handsome boy in the school praised me for being beautiful; the second time was in the laboratory, the most powerful boy in the school praised my gyroscope Well done; later, driving Prime No.1, fighting with everyone, even having dinner together is very happy. Only then did I know the meaning of hard work and the meaning of dreams. It's like suddenly becoming real, with temperature. "
There were tears in her eyes, but she smiled softly,
"The happiest four months in my life were the four months when I fell in love with Jingming. Although we always had conflicts and quarrels, he had a bad temper, and I had a hard temper. But no matter how angry he was, no matter what What do I look like to him, he never once broke up, because he really likes me, loves me, and knows that even if it is angry, I will be very sad. You will not know that he smiles at me How happy and beautiful I was when I was there; I don’t know, when he looked at me, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars. But I can see and feel it.
When I first fell in love, I was afraid and timid. It was he who came to me again and again, reached out to me, and pulled me into his world. Now, I'm going to pull him and never let go. "
Tears flashed in He Huanhuan's eyes, he wiped them away, and said softly, "I'm just afraid that you will get hurt again."
"But I have a feeling that he won't hurt me again in the future." Du Ruo grinned tearfully, her smile was cute and satisfied.
"Okay, okay, I get it. You've said that, and I will support you unconditionally in the future. Anyway, he is so handsome, you are not at a loss."
As soon as the words fell, the two girls burst out laughing, wiping their eyes while laughing.
He Huanhuan stepped forward and hugged her: "Xiaocao, I only want you to be happy. You must be happy."
Du Ruo's eyes were moist again, and she nodded: "Yes. I will."
