"Beep beep beep—"
A piercing and sharp whistle sound suddenly came from outside the door.
Ruan Chengyi was in high spirits at first, but was startled by the voice, he let go of Zhao Bingzhi, and frantically pulled up his pants.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Bing knew where she had suffered such humiliation. The chirping of the smoke alarm was like thunder piercing the night. The moment it rang in her ears, she collapsed against the door in collapse.
"I know!"
After Ruan Chengyi put on his clothes, he turned his head and saw her slipping along the door, and quickly picked her up with one hand. Seeing that she was in a bad state, she pulled the bathrobe on the bed to wrap her around her, opened the door and rushed out.
at the same time-
Wen Ru who heard the sound shouted downstairs: "What's wrong? What's wrong!"
There was no one in the corridor, and the sound of the smoke alarm was sharp and piercing. Ruan Chengyi had a headache from the noise, but he was relieved.
The arms are suddenly empty.
Zhao Bingzhi pushed him away and went back to his room.
Wen Ru ran up to the second floor and bumped into Ruan Yue with loose long hair at the stairs.
The latter asked her in pajamas: "What's the matter, Aunt Wen?"
"I don't know what happened, the smoke alarm on the third floor suddenly went off..."
She answered in a hurry, and before she had time to run up to the third floor, the doorbell downstairs was suddenly rang again from outside.
One sound after another, hurried and non-stop.
"I'm coming!"
Wen Ru hurried downstairs, and after opening the door, several security guards from the community came in. As she walked in, she said, "No, no, there is no fire in the house. I don't know what happened, but the smoke alarm upstairs suddenly went off. , tossing you over in the middle of the night, I'm sorry."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Several security guards looked up and looked upstairs.
Ruan Chengyi stepped on the stool to silence the alarm, and stood by the railing when he got down. He frowned and said, "The fire didn't happen, but it frightened people a lot. It's late today, and you can tell the property manager tomorrow to let people know." Come over for repairs."
"That's good."
Seeing the male owner of the house, the security guard at the head immediately put on a smile, "We drove over as soon as we heard the alarm. Don't worry, I will report to the property tomorrow and let them come and have a look. That's fine, we won't bother you , you rest early."
"Then I will trouble you tomorrow."
Wen Ru sent people out, closed the door and came back, and saw that Ruan Chengyi had already gone downstairs.
She smiled and said, "It has just rained in the past two days, and there are many mosquitoes in the garden. Maybe the moths came in and hit them. When Old Li comes over tomorrow, I will ask him to spray some medicine on the garden."
"You arrange it."
Ruan Chengyi nodded, and went straight to the sofa.
The desire/fire is still not calm, but he is a little unable to face Zhao Bingzhi, after all, the situation just now is the first time they have encountered it after marriage.
He found a cigarette case and a lighter from the coffee table drawer, lit a cigarette, and at the same time turned on the TV with the remote control, and selected a financial channel.
Upstairs, after Zhao Bingzhi took a shower, he took his clothes and went to the guest bedroom.
Ruan Yue didn't sleep either, she closed the door of the study on the third floor, cleaned up the ashes floating on the ground with a wet towel, tied up the bag of the trash can, carried it back to her room, and threw it into the trash bag in the bathroom. After the two layers were tightened, I was relieved.
She wasn't tall enough, and she had just ordered a book before setting off the smoke alarm.
After squatting on the ground and lowering her hair for a while, she felt pain in her fingers. When she looked again, a blister had bulged on her fingertips.
Knuckles are red...
but-
Mom went to sleep in the guest room.
Thinking of this, she felt somewhat comforted, and fearing that Zhao Bingzhi would be overwhelmed, she flushed her hand under the faucet and left the room.
It was quiet in the guest bedroom, she stood at the door for half a minute, and felt that with her mother's strong temper, maybe she didn't want to be disturbed at this time.
Turning around to leave, feeling the burning pain from her fingertips, Ruan Yue went downstairs.
"why are not you sleeping?"
Ruan Chengyi held a cigarette between his fingertips, and when he saw her coming down, he leaned over to light the ashtray in the ashtray, and asked a few words.
"My hand was cut by paper, I took a Band-Aid."
Ruan Yue took a look at him, squatted in front of the TV cabinet, and found a tube of burn ointment, iodine tincture, and Band-Aid.
After taking the medicine, she didn't look at Ruan Chengyi again, and walked upstairs.
…
next morning.
In the dining room, a family of three was eating breakfast. Zhao Bingzhi saw the band-aid wrapped around Ruan Yue's fingertips, raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"I was cut by the paper while I was doing my homework."
After Ruan Yue finished answering, she lowered her head, stirred the soy milk in the bowl with a spoon, and asked Zhao Bingzhi casually, "Mom, can you take me to stay with my grandparents for a few more days?"
"Didn't you just go there on vacation?"
Before Zhao Bingzhi could answer, Ruan Chengyi asked first.
Ruan Yue looked at him and smiled, "It's because I went there a few days ago that I realized that my grandpa and grandma have aged a lot, and I really want to spend more time with them."
Then, he looked at Zhao Bingzhi again, "And mom, you have been so busy with work these years that you often forget about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although we brought moon cakes when we went a few days ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for several days. Grandpa Although grandma didn't say anything, she must be feeling a little bit disappointed. Let's live together and stay with them for a while, okay? Especially now that grandma has just retired and stays at home all day, she will definitely be lonely. "
From last night to now, Zhao Bingzhi has also considered separation.
Although Ruan Yue's words surprised her, they just solved her current predicament. Zhao Bingzhi didn't think about it any more, nodded and said, "All right, let's pack up after dinner."
Ruan Chengyi has nothing to do with what she has decided.
Last night's force made him temporarily lose the wind, so not only did he not stop the mother and daughter, but after the two packed their things, he personally sent them to the government compound.
She has worked in the hospital for many years and is the child of a high-ranking cadre. Zhao Bingzhi actually has real estate investment outside. The reason why Ruan Yue proposed to live in her grandpa's house is that she hopes to take this opportunity to let her mother repair her relationship with her grandpa and grandma and have her mother's house. With the backing, it will be much smoother if she wants to divorce in the future, and after the divorce, she will not become depressed.
The old man disapproved of their arrival, but he didn't object, but the old lady was very happy. After dinner, she heated up a glass of milk and wanted to send it to Ruan Yue.
Walking to the door of the room, she heard the voice of her granddaughter talking on the phone: "I know that separation will affect their relationship, but there is only a difference between zero and countless times of domestic violence..."
Holding a glass of milk, she froze at the door of the room.
The milk was not delivered to the room in the end.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Ruan Yue put down the phone with a black screen.
Another room.
Zhao Bingzhi was tidying up the closet when the old lady walked in.
She looked up and called out with a smile, "Mom."
The old lady's usual kind face was serious, and she asked her straight to the point: "Tell me honestly, this life is really hard to go on? Why?"
"...don't worry about it."
Zhao Bingzhi was silent for a while, unwilling to say more.
After staying in her room for a few minutes without asking any questions, the old lady went downstairs.
On the sofa in the living room, the old man was reading the newspaper wearing reading glasses. When he looked up and saw her heavy face, he put the hand holding the newspaper on his knee and asked her, "What's the matter? What happened?"
"I just went up to deliver milk to Yue'er, and I heard her on the phone with her classmates..."
Just thinking about it made me feel unbelievable, and after repeating what I heard by accident, the old lady asked in a low voice, "Just Ruan Chengyi, how dare he make a move on Bingzhi? Old Zhao, I always feel a little unreal, you Say we know that temperament, and will suffer this kind of loss?"
The old man tightened his fingers holding the newspaper, "Didn't you ask her?"
"I asked, but she refused to say anything!"
The corners of the old lady's lips twitched anxiously, "You said that we are only this one daughter. Back then, we thought that Ruan Chengyi had no roots, and we knew that Ruan Chengyi was a stubborn man. Marrying him would not be a disadvantage, so we finally agreed. But you said, this man has If you don’t have money, how many people can you rely on? She still has such a stubborn temper that never gives in, if she really couldn’t bear it, she would ask for a divorce? "
The old man frowned and remained silent.
The old lady raised her hand and pushed him, "It's all about you. Cherish your little feathers for the rest of your life, for fear that people will say that the child will do something wrong because of you. Now it's over, her heart is broken, and she can't get along with such a big matter." Let's talk, if I didn't hear Yue'er calling today, I... I... "
She choked up twice, unable to speak completely.
"Why."
The old man put the newspaper on the table and patted her lightly, "Okay, how old are you? She doesn't want to tell, so don't ask. Just now that you are retired, let them live with you You, let the child calm down, if you really don't want to, just get divorced. My Zhao Shoucheng's daughter has been divorced, and no one dares to take it lightly."
—
Monday.
After morning exercises, Ruan Yue just returned to the classroom, took out her mobile phone from her school bag and looked at it, and found that Zhou Yu had sent her a sentence in WeChat: [Mr. Meng asked me your WeChat, I gave it to you.]
[Um.]
After replying, she saw that there was indeed a friend request, so she clicked through.
[Thank you.]
[I am Meng Jiming.]
Almost immediately after she passed the application, two messages came over there.
Ruan Yue looked at the text message, and suddenly remembered that she reminded him not to go to the party on the 3rd. Now it seems that he should have listened to her and didn't go.
[You're welcome.]
After she replied this sentence, Meng Jiming asked again: [Is it convenient? Make a voice call.]
[Inconvenient, I have to read it early.]
In the VIP lounge of a magazine in Beijing, Meng Jiming was stunned for a moment when he saw this text message, and put the coffee cup that was just handed to his mouth back into the saucer with a light smile.
A person from the outside hurriedly opened the door and came in. He happened to see him like this, and couldn't help but ask, "What made you so happy in the morning?"
Meng Jiming glanced over, "It's quite interesting to meet a kid."
"female?"
The face of the visitor suddenly became ambiguous.
Meng Jiming smiled and was about to answer when he saw the phone light up again.
Remarks "Little Banxian" sent a WeChat message—
[Feel sorry. Can I ask you, is there any reliable private investigator you can introduce to me?]
…
In classrooms.
Ruan Yue was rubbing her phone screen with her fingertips and was in a trance when suddenly there was another person in the seat next to her.
Qin Ziyu went outside to read early. Seeing her sitting alone, Lu Chen inevitably felt a little itchy. After sitting down, he tilted his head and laughed, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ruan Yue stuffed her phone into her schoolbag and said softly, "It's time for morning reading."
Lu Chen laughed, "I didn't see you reading it, either?"
Ruan Yue was quiet for a while, turned her head to look at him, and said coldly: "I didn't study early, but I was in the top five in the class, what about you?"
Lu Chen: "..."
He was in the bottom five of the class.
"puff-"
The few people in the front row and the back row pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, couldn't help but get sprayed.
Lu Chen didn't pick up the words.
When she realized it again, Ruan Yue had already turned her head and took out a Chinese document from the hole in the table.
At this moment, a boy suddenly approached from outside the window and said, "Ruan Yue, Director Yan asked you to go to his office."
The author has something to say: The next one will probably be at noon tomorrow.
