The colic came on urgently and intensely, after Xu Huaisong took out the medicine and took it, he opened the door to see that Lu Shenglan had left, then lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.
He felt that maybe he was really a little sick.
After Ruan Yu slept on this quilt, he told the hotel not to change it.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone to look at it, but suddenly stopped in the next moment.
The first column of the WeChat message list shows that he sent a message to Ruan Yu.
But when I clicked in, she had already withdrawn the message before his account sent out the "B".
three seconds. He recovered, got out of bed and walked to the living room to check the computer.
In the computer version of WeChat, the dialogue with Ruan Yu was deleted, and the record was displayed as blank.
Fierce court debate requires full control of time. This professional habit enables him to clearly confirm that he never let Lu Shenglan stay here for too long, from the time he couldn't bear the stomach cramps and hurried into the bedroom to confirming that the door was closed sound, just for a minute.
Compared with the time displayed on the mobile phone, the time when his account sent the message, the accident happened within this minute.
The truth is obvious.
Lu Shenglan grew up in the United States. She didn’t know WeChat, which is commonly used by Chinese people. She thought that everything would be fine if she deleted the records on the computer version, but she didn’t know that the mobile phone had a backup.
And the time of the incident was too short, she obviously acted impulsively without premeditation, and she didn't have time to understand the truth.
Xu Huaisong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, picked up his phone and typed: "What are you withdrawing?"
There was no reply for a long time. When he was about to make a call, Ruan Yu said, "I sent the message by mistake, so I withdrew it. I'm sorry, Lawyer Xu."
He believed that she had really sent the wrong message. Lu Shenglan must have understood this from her withdrawal, and she was sure that she would not take the initiative to mention it later, so she dared to do so.
But this all the more shows that this news is very critical.
Only now, Ruan Yu may understand his phrase "what did you withdraw" as "why did you withdraw", not "what did you withdraw".
He lost the patience to chew on words and dialed her phone.
It took a long time to pick up the other end, maybe he was thinking about something.
But he had no time to think about it.
The blood in his whole body froze at the moment of seeing the word "B", and now his whole body was gripped by an unknown panic, so that he couldn't feel the stomach pain at all.
He cut to the chase: "I mean, I haven't heard from you, what did you withdraw?"
"Ah?" Ruan Yu was obviously also surprised, "Then why did you reply to me?"
He gritted his teeth: "I didn't reply." Ask again, "What did you withdraw?"
The other end fell silent, and said after a while: "That's okay... Anyway, I sent the wrong message..."
Xu Huaisong turned around and picked up the car keys, turned around and left: "Are you in the new apartment?"
Half an hour later, Ruan Yu heard the doorbell.
From the moment she received the word "B" from Xu Huaisong, she suspected that he was euphemistically telling her not to be sentimental, then when she received his call later, she felt his unbearable urgency and anger, and during this half hour, Constantly thinking about what might happen next, overturning one possibility, starting over, overturning another possibility, and starting over again—she was like riding a roller coaster with ups and downs.
At this moment, she was suddenly afraid to open the door.
She walked to the door, checked the door mirror, and said through the last door panel between the two on this floor, "You... what are you here for?"
"You open the door."
Xu Huaisong's voice sounded quite calm at this moment, as if the gnashing of teeth in the phone call just now had disappeared.
Only then did Ruan Yu dare to open the door.
But in the next moment, she was pulled forward by a huge pulling force, and fell into an embrace that Xiao had thought about countless times.
It's just that this embrace is not as gentle as she imagined. —Xu Huaisong almost crushed her with all his strength.
The extreme lack of oxygen prevented Ruan Yu from even having time to scream. She could only feel his scorching breath buried in her shoulder, stimulating her nerve endings and invading her hair and skin inch by inch.
Her brain froze for five seconds, and she began to try to shrink back.
Xu Huaisong immediately let go.
But his gaze remained fixed on her face.
Ruan Yu raised his head and looked back at him. In just a moment, he saw the turbulent waves crashing on the shore, the sun rising and the moon setting, the white waterfall flying in the air and jade splashing, seeing all the vastness and magnificence in this world, and finally, seeing himself.
Only see yourself.
Some people say that human eyes can speak.
At this moment, he obviously didn't say anything, but she seemed to understand the air.
Although she still couldn't figure it out, why suddenly, Xu Huaisong felt such an emotion towards her that seemed to have been suppressed for a long, long time.
After the shock, she opened her mouth a few times, and finally said without asking: "What's wrong with you..."
In the end, like a child who refuses to give up if he can't get candy, he repeated: "I want to know what you withdrew."
He obviously used the word "to the end", but Ruan Yu felt that his tone was not tough at all.
On the contrary, it seems to be a little injured.
Originally, when she found out that he hadn't received the message, she was unwilling to admit what she had sent, but at this moment, amidst such excitement and shock, she made a move that even she couldn't understand—put her mobile phone handed over to him.
The screen stayed on the dialogue between her and Shen Mingying.
Shen Mingying's latest reply is: "Who asked you this question, or do you need to do research when writing? I don't think A and B have the same answer?"
A and B are the same answer. "I'll introduce you to one" is followed by "What do you think of me".
She anxiously waited for Xu Huaisong's reaction, and then saw his eyes move away from the phone screen, staring at hers: "Well, aren't A and B the same answer?"
His reply was surprisingly calm.
Ruan Yu's mind instantly exploded with white light.
When people are in a state of extreme tension, sometimes they will have a state of "extreme things will reverse". For example, now, Ruan Yu Mingming didn't know where his hands and feet were, but he still kept still.
After about ten full counts, she finally reacted, "hehe" smiled: "Hey, I'm so stupid, why did you stand for so long..." She called him in, "I just finished Some of the luggage has not been cleaned at home, so you can just come in with your shoes on."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and found Xu Huaisong still standing at the door.
So, she froze for a few more times, and then said, "Aren't you coming in?"
Xu Huaisong finally crossed that threshold.
Ruan Yu invited her to the sofa: "I'll make you some tea!" As he said that, he turned his head and was about to go to the kitchen, walked away two steps and then turned back, pointing to the mobile phone that belonged to her in his hand, "Ha ha , Look at my memory, I forgot my phone, return it to me?"
She walked to the kitchen in two or three steps, closed the door, and almost knocked her knees to the ground.
She patted her chest to suppress her shock, then leaned against the door, took out her mobile phone and typed tremblingly.
"SOS! SOS! Call Shen Mingying!"
"Emergency, call for organizational assistance!"
"This is not a drill!"
"Repeat, this is not a drill!"
Shen Mingying was shocked by her life-threatening serial calls: "What are you doing, Xu Huaisong wants to confess to you?"
Nephrite: "I'm afraid it is!"
Or, in fact, the list is over
Shen Mingying: "..."
Shen Mingying: "I'll just say it casually, really?"
Shen Mingying: "Do you need Suxiao Jiuxin Pill now?"
Ruan Yu covered his runaway heart: "I can still hold on."
Shen Mingying: "Then what are you going to do?"
If she knew, as for hiding in the kitchen
Shen Mingying: "Did he seriously propose dating, or did he just express his liking?"
Nephrite: "The latter."
Shen Mingying: "Then how do you feel about him?"
Nephrite: "You asked me so suddenly, I can't tell..."
It was really let go. But since that night, when he suddenly changed his attitude, she couldn't help guessing his intentions.
Because it was too incredible, she didn't let herself think deeply about what kind of intention she hoped for.
But just like the moment the coin landed, she could see whether she wanted heads or tails. The moment she saw the word "B" just now, she realized that what she was expecting might be "A".
It's just that she can't tell whether this expectation is "resurrection of old feelings" or "due to inertia".
After all, Xu Huaisong seems to have changed suddenly, unlike what she used to know, judging the current him with the past feelings, making her feel that she has a split personality.
Shen Mingying sent a message: "Okay, don't worry about how you feel, you finally have a chance after so many years, you just try to take him down, and you can dump him if it doesn't work, so you can start your life again, if If you avoid or refuse directly now, I guarantee that you will never be able to get out for the rest of your life.”
Nephrite: "Get him?"
Shen Mingying: "That's right, take him down, not being taken down by him, it means that when you are exercising vigorously, he will go down and you go up."
Nephrite: "..."
Ruan Yu chatted with Shen Mingying for a long time, and when it was over, he didn't open the kitchen door in a hurry, but turned around and boiled water slowly.
After cooking, she poured a glass of boiled water, breathed out, calmed down, and opened the door.
Xu Huaisong on the sofa raised his head and stared at her.
She lowered her eyes, recalling Shen Mingying's teaching, and asked calmly: "Who replied to my message with your WeChat?"
Xu Huaisong didn't hide it: "That colleague you met."
"Miss Lu." She put the water on the coffee table in front of him, and then said nothing.
Just when Xu Huaisong thought that she should continue to pursue and inquire, she didn't follow the routine and stopped abruptly.
And he seemed to be swinging the ball in the air, and he used all his strength to go out. He looked down and found that the ball was lying leisurely on the grass and basking in the sun.
After a while, she finally spoke, and what she said was: "She seems to be quite capable in business."
"..."
What is business capability
Xu Huaisong opened his mouth and closed it again, feeling that no matter how he answered those words, it would be like death.
After being silent for a long time, he said directly: "She is my college classmate and a colleague in the law firm. Apart from that, I have no other relationship with her. You can handle this matter however you want."
"What to deal with?" Ruan Yu asked back.
Xu Huaisong swung the cue empty again.
But he couldn't go back any further.
He asked, "Aren't you angry?"
"You're annoyed." Ruan Yu smiled, and looked at the time on his phone, "It's five o'clock."
He raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Bearing in mind the importance of having the "home field advantage", she put on a bluff and asked, "Go out for a meal?"
