She leaned against his chest, listening to his clear and powerful heartbeat, trying to make her reasons sound convincing:
"... I have been observing and recording data since I passed in the morning. Later, Teacher Xu told me to take a short rest, so I went to take a nap and planned to continue later. But..."
Being busy with one thing for a long time will cause fatigue, and it is normal to exchange a short break for high efficiency afterwards.
She hugged his thin waist, her voice was a bit muffled:
"Later, I had a nightmare. I woke up and called you, but you turned off the phone."
There was an almost undetectable trace of grievance in her voice.
Why did it shut down at that time
He would not know that the fear at that moment was overwhelming and surged, easily swallowing her.
Lu Huaihe hugged her, couldn't see her expression at this time, but could clearly feel her emotions at this time.
Confused, nervous, scared, wronged...
His heart suddenly hurt.
He closed his eyes, hugged her even tighter, rested his chin lightly on the top of her hair, and said in a low voice:
"sorry."
The point is not to turn off the phone, but—when she was looking for him, when she needed him, he wasn't there.
How could he make such a mistake
He held her face in his hands, cherished and carefully, looked into her eyes, and repeated it again, word by word:
"Sorry, there won't be a next time."
There seemed to be a thin layer of mist in her eyes.
Lu Huaiyu looked at her, and lightly stroked her cheek with his slightly callused fingertips.
"What dream did you have? It has something to do with me?"
Shen Li's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She pursed her lips, nodded, and shook her head again:
"... It seems... I was looking for you, but I couldn't find you. I can't remember the specifics."
Of course, she couldn't put it into words.
This statement seems to explain why she came to him in such a hurry.
Lu Huai and his eyes were thick, and he looked at her for a long time.
No matter how terrible a nightmare is, it is only a dream after all.
How could she not be able to distinguish between dreams and reality, and how could she drop all her affairs at the National Planetarium because of a dream that she could no longer remember clearly, just to come to him.
He remembers the moment she came in and saw his eyes very clearly.
It's like the rest of my life after a catastrophe, and it's like worrying about losing something, and I'm finally sure that everything is still there.
Especially—she found here directly.
He was silent for a while, kissed her forehead, and said:
"Why can't I find it? Isn't this found?"
His slightly cool and soft lips fell, filled with the cool cedar breath.
Her restless heart finally gradually settled down, and she buried it in the crest of his neck.
"Lu Huai and."
He responded in a low voice:
"Well, I'm here."
She closes her eyes.
…
Gu Tinglan sat outside and waited for a while, only to look sideways when he heard the door open.
Shen Li and Lu Huai came out one after the other.
He looked at the expressions of the two, but couldn't see anything.
I don't even know what they were talking about.
He stands up:
"Ali."
"Little uncle."
He looked at her, then at Lu Huaiyu, and asked:
"What about you looking for Lu Er has been resolved?"
Shen Li paused, nodded: "En."
Lu Huaiyu had to give him a clear enough explanation for what he said, and for the others... it's better to say less and make less mistakes.
Although Gu Tinglan was curious, but considering that this was a matter between the two of them after all, and looking at Shen Li's appearance, he obviously didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask further.
Thinking of the missed calls she had made before, he glanced at Lu Huaiyu calmly, and asked:
"You looked for him, he turned off the phone, how did you think of calling me later?"
Shen Li's eyebrows jumped.
On this day in her previous life, the two of them happened together, so her first reaction was of course to find Gu Tinglan.
But this word...
"The relationship between the little uncle and the second brother has always been very good, so I tried to fight."
She deliberates to speak,
"Besides, little uncle usually doesn't answer my calls. I found it strange, so I called a few times in a row."
In other words, she didn't know that Lu Huai was here with him today
But even if you didn't know it before, you know it now.
Gu Tinglan paused for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Well, I originally made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening."
Shen Li nodded without asking any further questions, as if she believed what he said.
Lu Huai and Side Eyes glanced at her.
Gu Tinglan glanced at the time:
"It's almost five o'clock, and I have the last patient. Why don't Ari wait here for a while, and let's have dinner together later?"
It is obviously inappropriate to go back to the National Planetarium at this moment, and until now, the accident has not happened, she dare not completely relax, it is of course best to be with them.
So she agreed without hesitation:
"Then listen to little uncle."
Gu Tinglan laughed and said:
"It's your first time here, so you can take a look around first. There is a barbecue restaurant on Linchuan Road nearby. It tastes very good. Do you want to try it later?"
Shen Li's heart seemed to be clenched by something suddenly.
— Linchuan Road!
That's where the accident in the previous life happened!
That's why, before she got through to the two of them, she drove here directly!
Later, on the way, Gu Tinglan dialed back the phone call and made sure that the two of them were in the clinic, so she turned a corner and came here.
Who knew that now Gu Tinglan proposed to go to Linchuan Road for dinner.
She pursed her lips:
"Little uncle, I don't really want to eat barbecue tonight."
"Huh? Don't want to eat this?" Gu Tinglan didn't mind, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Shen Li said:
"I haven't made up my mind yet, or...can I decide later?"
Gu Tinglan nodded with a smile: "Okay, according to your taste today."
Shen Li replied "OK", and then sat down on the sofa next to her.
Lu Huaiyu handed over the water glass, and only then did she realize that her throat was extremely thirsty.
Gu Tinglan turned around and walked towards the other side. The assistant greeted her and said:
"Doctor Gu, Mr. Dou hasn't come yet."
Hearing "Mr. Dou", Shen Li's hand holding the cup suddenly stopped.
Gu Tinglan looked surprised:
"He didn't come? The time is about to arrive. Didn't he always arrive 20 minutes earlier?"
The assistant shook his head:
"We don't know what's going on. So far, Mr. Dou hasn't called to cancel the appointment."
Gu Tinglan frowned slightly.
At this moment, Shen Li's voice came from behind:
"Little uncle, your patient... missed the appointment?"
Gu Tinglan turned around: "I'm not sure yet, but it seems very likely."
Shen Li's fingers tightened slightly:
"For no reason, how could you miss the appointment?"
"Yes, I also feel a little surprised." Gu Tinglan smiled, "He was very positive when he came here before. Oh, speaking of this person, you should have a little impression that he insisted on seeing me before, and my assistant has The one who called several times to remind me."
The guests have finally left, let’s have a meal and continue to update
