The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 43

During the trip, Zhou Yanchi served as porter, waiter, tour guide, and credit card machine all the way.When they arrived at the hotel, there were two adults and children. After completing the formalities, the front desk staff gave them a room card. Du Ruoheng said gently, "Please open another room."

The other party was stunned for a moment before he realized it, retracted his probing gaze and opened another one.

At night, Zhou Yanchi lives in the suite alone, while Du Ruoheng and Zhou Titi live next door.Obviously the soundproofing of the room is very good, but Zhou Yanchi's side is too quiet, so he always thought he could hear the laughter on the other side of the wall.After taking a shower, Zhou Yanchi walked back and forth in the room a few times, and finally he went to the next door and knocked on the door.

Du Ruoheng held the doorknob and blocked him calmly.The corridor lamp has a vague outline, which has a gentle meaning.

He looked down at her with a soft voice: "I can't sleep."

Du Ruoheng looked at him for a while, she was thinking.Then she pointed to the sofa not far away, and said simply: "Either go back, or sleep here. You choose."

In the end, Zhou Yanchi's first night of vacation in W City was spent on the hotel sofa with his eyes open until dawn.

City W is located in the southernmost part of China, the sky is clear and the sun is unrestrained and warm.The beach was not far in front of the hotel where they were staying. In the morning, Du Ruoheng took his daughter to the beach.Zhou Yanchi was also there at first, but was tripped by Zhang Yaran's urgent business call, so he could only stand far away from the crowd and talk on the phone.

After asking for his opinion, Zhang Yaran asked him for credit: "Did you live well yesterday? Considering various factors, I made my own decision and only booked one room for you..."

Zhou Yanchi still has a sore neck.He rubbed his eyebrows and interrupted her coldly: "Shut up."

He saw Du Ruoheng and Zhou Titi having fun in the sea from a distance.Zhou Yanchi lost interest in chatting with his secretary, so he hung up the phone.At the same time, he saw Du Ruoheng being washed by the waves and almost tripped, but fortunately he was helped by the young man next to him.

That scene against the blue sea water has a somewhat beautiful charm.Zhou Yanchi almost dropped the phone in his hand.

He walked over, but the other party had no intention of leaving.A few steps away, the young man could hear the question: "Is this beautiful little girl Miss Du's daughter?"

Even the last name has been inquired in such a short time.Du Ruoheng smiled and replied: "Yes."

The other party let out a long oh, but still didn't intend to retreat.He continued his efforts: "Where are you from?"

"T city."

The young man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "That's really a fate. I live in City Y, which happens to be adjacent to City T. I heard that there is a century clock in City T..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure intervened between the two of them.Zhou Yanchi knelt down, wiped off a little sand on Du Ruoheng's face, and looked at the stranger indifferently: "May I ask who you are?"

The young man finally left.After walking a few steps, he looked back unwillingly.Zhou Yan did not let go of Du Ruoheng's hand. She waited for the person to walk away before saying, "Are you finished?"

Zhou Yanchi's tone was gentle: "Are you tired from playing, do you want to go back to the hotel?"

Du Ruoheng glanced at him, but said nothing.When he pulled her, she gave her a slight struggle, and Zhou Yanchi's grip became tighter.

Du Ruoheng didn't give any further warnings, she finally chose to acquiesce.

In the evening, the three returned to the hotel from the beach.Zhou Titi was tired from playing around, on the way back she hugged her father's neck and fell asleep on his shoulders.Zhou Yanchi held her with one hand and Du Ruoheng with the other, and while walking back slowly, a long reflection was drawn out by the setting sun.

It is rare to have such a quiet moment.However, on the other hand, the current Zhou Yanchi has been worn down to the point where he can't hold back his thoughts.

It doesn't mean that you intend to give up at this point, but that the patience that came slowly is gradually disappearing.Du Ruoheng had already softened his attitude, so he hoped to make further progress in the shortest possible time.

What he wanted was not as simple as it is now.Holding hands, hugging, trusting each other, and all kinds of things to a higher level, and remarriage.He is not sure that he will go back to the past, but he feels that he can at least do his best now.Zhou Yanchi originally thought that he would not be stingy with the utmost patience, spend a lot of hard work and a long time, and put these into practice bit by bit.However, the real fact is that he can no longer withstand her teasing.

Even these provocations were never intentional.Du Ruoheng eating opposite him with his hair tied is enough to arouse Qisi, not to mention getting along day and night now.He could feel her momentary stiffness when he made physical contact with her, but in the end she didn't push him away, giving him great possibilities.

Two adults and one child stayed in W City for nearly a week.As of the day before leaving, Zhou Yanchi and Du Ruoheng's progress was limited to holding hands.He has been sleeping on the sofa, and the bed in the bedroom is big enough. He tentatively proposed it once, but Du Ruoheng was sensitive to it, and the suggestion to share the bed was immediately rejected without mercy.

Even Zhou Titi sympathized with him.She brought two extra fried eggs and a glass of milk for her father at breakfast, saying that her father must not have slept well these days and needed to replenish his body.

Holding the tableware with both hands, Zhou Yan said thank you with his expression unchanged.

Zhou Yanchi's surprise was the night before he left City W.

Du Ruoheng accidentally sprained his foot when he was picking up shells with Zhou Titi at the beach, and Zhou Yanchi carried him all the way back.Originally she was unwilling, but she couldn't stand his insistence.After returning to the hotel, he found safflower oil for her, but Zhou Titi didn't like the smell, so the two adults had to go to Zhou Yanchi's suite next door.

The curtains were not drawn, and the night was falling, and there were dots of lights outside, giving an illusion of tranquility and serenity.

It reminded her in a trance of that year when she deliberately injured his back in Jingman.At that time, he was still not like this. Although he was used to forbearance with her, he didn't feel cautious at all times.

She naturally knew that he had had a hard time during this time.No one likes to be dumped, let alone Zhou Yanchi who has always been arrogant.

She sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head, just in time to see his deep and long eyelashes.Zhou Yanchi has a strong and assertive personality, but his appearance has a gentle taste.When the line of sight is focused, it is easy for people to get stuck in the mud.

His movements of massaging her are light and soothing, with sophisticated techniques, which originated from her training when she was pregnant in October.He held the sole of one of her feet in the palm of his hand, surrounded by the distinct smell of medicinal oil. She looked at it for a long time, and somehow felt flustered and short of breath.

She finally felt something was wrong.His fingertips were gently rubbing her ankle, and slowly he pinched her calf.

The two looked at each other, his eyes were deep and dark, and some unspoken emotions were brewing.She bit her lip and avoided his sight, but he grabbed her waist.

She wanted him to go away, but he noticed at the same moment she opened her mouth, and then her lips were sealed.

All whimpers were pushed back down the throat.Her body was weak and she couldn't push him away.The lips and teeth are close to each other, and every inch is enough to confuse people.In this regard, Du Ruoheng has always been inexperienced.Before physical contact, everything is dominated by her.However, when she was really entangled, she was no match for him.

He suddenly turned off the light in the room, and the remote fell to the floor.In the darkness, the sense of touch became more and more obvious. Du Ruoheng couldn't hold each other's breathing, and the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other. She finally couldn't bear it under his temptation and pursuit, and said to turn on the light.

He seemed not to hear.He held her wrist and rubbed and coaxed her there with his fingertips.He has not made a sound, but his actions have always been firm.

After everything was quiet again, Zhou Yanchi left temporarily and went to the next room to check on Zhou Titi's situation.He lowered his voice and told her in her ear that Du Ruoheng turned sideways, closed his eyes and remained motionless.He kissed her hair lightly before leaving, and Du Ruoheng covered his head with the quilt when he closed the door.

After a while, Zhou Yanchi came back.He pulled her into his arms from behind, and said in a gentle and low voice that Titi slept well.Du Ruoheng remained silent, and after a while, he was still unusually quiet.This made him suspect that she had other reactions. He reached out to touch her cheek, but he bit his finger hard.

Du Ruoheng spent his whole life working hard and left no room for it.Zhou Yanchi didn't make a sound at first, but he still hummed.

Du Ruoheng showed no sign of letting go of this.It wasn't until she had no strength that she finally let go mercifully.Then she rolled all the quilts around herself and moved to the bed farthest from him to sleep.

The two adults were a little embarrassed after getting up the next day.When Zhou Yan held the chopsticks for breakfast, his index finger had a circle of black and purple, while Du Ruoheng looked tired because of insomnia.Zhou Titi looked at the two of them for a while, and asked if they had quarreled again, Du Ruoheng said no.

Zhou Titi refused to believe it easily, so she went to make trouble with her mother, and was dragged back into her arms by Zhou Yanchi: "Eat well."

On the way back to T city, Du Ruoheng didn't have much energy.Not only Zhou Yanchi, but even Zhou Titi was absent-minded.This inevitably makes people feel that she is a little embarrassed, or because of other psychological troubles.No matter what kind it was, Zhou Yanchi didn't want to let her think wildly. He teased her to come back to her words, but after two times, he caused a lot of impatience: "Can you shut up?"

If it wasn't for the airtightness that couldn't be changed, she must have hoped to push him off the plane.

Zhou Yanchi was quite tolerant of any reaction to Du Ruoheng.In fact, he was more pleased by the emotions of the night before, and this kind of psychology filled his whole body, making it difficult for him to think deeply about Du Ruoheng's thoughts like before.He explained her non-stop resisting behavior along the way as a matter of course and simply, until Du Ruoheng finally became calm and condensed after the plane landed in T city, and did not think about this issue in detail.

The relationship between the two of them has not been greatly improved because they are in the same room in W City.On the contrary, Du Ruoheng became more indifferent to Zhou Yanchi than before. She turned a blind eye to most of his behaviors, and the number of times she was willing to visit Zhou's house became very few.Until a week later, they each received the same wedding invitation, from the groom and the bride respectively, inviting them to a wedding banquet in a five-star hotel half a month later.

Zhou Yanchi invited Du Ruoheng to the banquet together, but luckily she didn't refuse this time.

She lived in Zhou's house the night before, and lived in a separate room from Zhou Yanchi.The next day, Zhou Yanchi asked her to go downstairs for breakfast. When she knocked on the door and entered, Du Ruoheng was standing in front of the mirror, trying to pull the zipper on the back of her skirt.

He closed the door and walked behind her to help her complete the motion.Du Ruoheng said thank you, but Zhou Yanchi didn't move for a while.His gaze was fixed behind her ear, looking at her with a bit of burning temperature.Then he lowered his head slightly, and the soft touch touched the back of her neck.

Du Ruoheng trembled because of this.He held her waist with his hand, rubbing gently through a thin layer of fabric.Du Ruoheng used to like being treated like this. When he hugged him from behind, and even swayed gently, they were close to each other, which easily made her feel at ease. She didn't reject such intimacy before, and she was the most trustworthy reliance.

Zhou Yanchi didn't expect her to react like before.However, the facts gave him a certain degree of surprise.She bit her lip without making a sound, but when she raised her eyes, there was water in them, like the sparkling light on a quiet lake in spring.

All the simmering feelings started to ignite.Zhou Yanchi's hand slid towards her back, intending to unzip the dress again, but she stopped her with a weak voice.He bit the corner of her mouth from behind and said reassuringly, "No one will come in."

Du Ruoheng panted slightly: "Stop."

As if he hadn't heard of it, there was a hint of anger in her voice: "I said stop!"

Du Ruoheng pushed him away violently, and took two steps back to the side.Her hair was a little disheveled, and she looked at him with her brows furrowed. The annoyance on her face was far greater than others.Zhou Yan's hand was still hovering in the air, he slowly lowered it, and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Du Ruoheng endured it, but in the end he didn't say what was in his heart, and walked out without saying a word.

Both of them did a good job at the wedding scene.Zhou Yanchi wanted to shake Du Ruoheng's hand, but she let him do so.Later, they chatted with the person who came to strike up a conversation together. Du Ruoheng quietly looked at Zhou Yanchi's side face and listened to him talking indifferent manners, and there was no trace of impatience on his face.

In fact, she never compromised Zhou Yanchi's self-esteem in front of outsiders.That was the case before, and it is even more so now.No matter what other people think of her, whenever she stands by Zhou Yanchi's side, she is always the one who supports and defends him.It's just that the appearance of the two of them together surprised many people. People who knew Du Ruoheng frequently looked at her in the wrong eyes, as if they couldn't believe it.

We had dinner together at noon, Zhou Yanchi was sitting on Du Ruoheng's left, and a good friend from T City was on his right.Later when Zhou Yanchi went out to answer the phone, Du Ruoheng was grabbed by his friend and asked if the two of them got back together again.

Du Ruoheng smiled, and said yes.

"Aren't you going to find someone else in the future?"

It's a bit strange to ask this question, it sounds like there are several layers of meaning in it.Du Ruoheng thought for a while, then gave an ambiguous answer: "It should be like this."

The other party heyed, but didn't speak.Du Ruoheng smiled and said, "What do you mean?"

The other party hesitated a little, but still told the truth: "I thought that with your personality, it was impossible to forgive a man who was unfaithful in marriage, no matter what the reason was."

Du Ruoheng's smile faded a little, and after thinking about it, he replied: "If it was five years ago, I don't think it would be possible to forgive."

"Then why are you forgiving now?" the other party asked her, "Because of the baby girl?"

She did not deny: "Part of it is because of this."

It is difficult to explain the current state of the two of them clearly to others, and even if you explain it, you may not believe it, so there is no need to explain it.Today's Du Ruoheng is still in the eyes of the unexpected world, but he has learned not to think actively.If she thought about it for a while, she could guess what some people said about the two of them now.It was nothing more than that Zhou Yanchi had put on so many green hats for her, and she had spent a lot of effort to divorce him, but now she agreed to be with him again.The pointing and pointing that pokes her back is all about her dignity and integrity as a woman.

What other people talked about used to be the most important aspect of Du Ruoheng's life, and part of her depression was also due to this.At that time, Nie Liwei once advised her not to talk, not to listen, but to say what a psychiatrist said always had some effect. In addition, Du Ruoheng had lived alone in S City for five years, and her mood had changed a lot.

In fact, she has not lived a thorough life until now, and epiphany and understanding have nothing to do with her. Du Ruoheng is just trying to learn how to accept reality.She used to care about the ending, the consummation, and the gossip. Of course, she still cares about these details and the future, but the thing she cares most about has become the present.

On the way back, Du Ruoheng dug out the chocolates he got at the wedding, took one in his mouth, and heard Zhou Yanchi say, "Give me a piece."

He was driving, so she peeled a piece and fed it to him.

Zhou Yanchi bit her finger, sucking gently.He did it on purpose, Du Ruoheng loosened his fingers, and the chocolate almost fell.

He glanced at her while driving, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.Zhou Yanchi didn't smile often, but every time he was very charming.The moment when the corners of his eyes melt into a smile has a special charm, which is only possessed by a mature man of his age.And because of the sexiness and face, it is even more fascinating.

If Yuanheng's female employees were here, they would have fainted from excitement.Du Ruoheng also stared at him a little bit, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood, until he smiled and asked her, "When will we remarry?"

"..."

"What kind of form do you want us to remarry? High-profile, or low-key, or entertain friends, or take a vacation? It's up to you."

Du Ruoheng seemed to have received a huge shock.She stared at him without a trace of joy, but in the kind of speechless.After a while of silence around her, Zhou Yanchi finally noticed something was wrong with her. He stopped at the red light and turned to look at her: "You don't want to remarry?"

Du Ruoheng said lightly, "What do you do when you get married?"

The peaceful atmosphere between the two finally became stalemate with this topic.His eyes moved, and he finally said: "We will always remarry."

It took Du Ruoheng a while to speak, with no expression on his face: "Why do you get married? Don't tell me you regretted my behavior of holding your huge property, so you want to use marriage to tie me down, and then relax your vigilance later, and then slowly transfer the property to me. Return it to your hand?"

Zhou Yanchi's eyes turned cold because of her words: "Why do you think so?"

Du Ruoheng kept silent with a cold face, the atmosphere was tense for a moment, and finally he became helpless: "It's not what you think, how could it be like that? I just think remarriage is like a complete ending."

Zhou Yanchi disappeared for two days in the next two days without calling or seeing anyone.Du Ruoheng naturally wouldn't take the initiative to contact him. When her thoughts drifted to the point where she began to think that he had become so fragile after getting older, she couldn't even listen to a negation and had to follow his wishes, otherwise she would lose her temper and fight coldly. It's better to just break up, anyway, the so-called vows before are just passing by, she is not as important as imagined at all, etc., when I started to make a hypothetical crusade against him in my heart, Zhou Yanchi reappeared as if nothing had happened.

To Zhou Titi, he still had a loving father's face, but to Du Ruoheng, he restrained the overly intimate behavior of the past few days, and returned to his normal state.It's like a couple who have been together for a long time will ask her which shirt is more suitable, or ask her if she wants to attend certain occasions.And because the work of the two is highly related now, he will report to her, the boss, with a meticulous attitude and looks like an acting manager.

Occasionally he would take the initiative to hold her hand, but only when crossing the road.Or express concern carefully, the purpose is to make her pay attention to some corners that may touch the place.But no more holding her waist, or anything like that.His expression was always deep, showing no real emotion.

It is impossible for Du Ruoheng not to notice his change.She was half relieved, and at the same time became irritable.She hated this kind of Zhou Yanchi who changed without saying a word, leaving her in the same place, startled by him, and ended by him, but he never explained a word.No one likes to feel like this.

She called Su Qiu, expressed her thoughts, and complained that Zhou Yanchi forced her to make her breathless.

Su Qiu was sharpening her nails and said that you were out of breath and said something to me, wouldn't it be better to go directly to Zhou Yanchi.

Du Ruoheng paused for a moment, then said coldly, are you kidding, I'm not looking for him.

"Why don't you look for it?" Su Qiu said very simply: "What do you want to do so much. If you don't like it, then just kill him. In the middle of the night, you cut him either on his neck or on his lower body. ,it's up to you."

She failed to solve any problems, and Du Ruoheng became even more uninterested: "If it wasn't because of breaking the law, do you think I never thought of doing this?"

When the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Du Ruoheng received a call from an unfamiliar number from Gansu, China.She picked it up, and the other party turned out to be one of the two children she sponsored in the mountainous area. He greeted her a happy Mid-Autumn Festival with careful respect, and thanked her for another huge donation two months ago.

Thousands of dollars is already a huge amount for him.Du Ruoheng asked him where he made the call, and the child said he was in town.

Du Ruoheng became more gentle because of this, she followed the temptation, and then learned that the child had climbed two mountains before arriving in the town, just to call her.This moved Du Ruoheng and told him not to work so hard next time.He also asked him whether it was warm or cold in the mountains, and promised to send winter clothes there in a few days.The two talked for a while before hanging up.

Shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival is Du Ruoheng's birthday.Zhou Yanchi stood in the living room of Zhou's residence on the eve of his birthday, discussing with his daughter, asking her if she would allow her father and mother to spend a day alone on her birthday.

Zhou Titi has never been a child to be fooled with, she looked at her father with blazing eyes: "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Yanchi looked back at her blankly: "What is 'again'?"

"'Again' means you failed more than once."

"..." Zhou Yanchi took a while to say something, "Anyway, no matter what I do, you are not allowed to tell mom in advance."

That's what he said, but Zhou Yanchi didn't know what to do.To a certain extent, it is actually difficult for him to give her any surprises now, and it is even more difficult for Du Ruoheng to be moved by the short time of one night.Candlelight dinners had long since ceased to work for her, and she would rather spend the evening alone with a movie than to do such a thing with him.

But he still prepared a bouquet, and other presents, and a conversation.How they want to start, how he wants to make her happier, how he resists some hurtful words she may say, he has to think of countermeasures one by one.

On the morning of his birthday, Zhou Yanchi called Du Ruoheng, but the response was that the phone was turned off.He thought she was still asleep, so he went to the apartment to find someone, but no one answered when he knocked on the door.When I found the key to open the door, I found that there was no one inside.

Zhou Yanchi sat on the sofa by the window of the apartment, and spent several hours dialing the phone until the phone was about to run out of power, and the response from the phone was still turned off.In the evening, he finally connected. Before Du Ruoheng could speak, he asked in a cold voice, "Where are you?"

Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, then replied coldly: "What does it have to do with you?" After finishing speaking, he hung up.

Zhou Yanchi rubbed his brows and walked around the living room several times, finally suppressing the violent ups and downs.So he dialed the phone again, and finally got through after a few times. Du Ruoheng remained silent on the other end with a cold face.

Zhou Yanchi took a deep breath, and his words softened: "I called you all day and kept turning off the phone. You are not at home. I am very worried about you."

Then he whispered softly: "Today is your birthday, have you forgotten?"

After a while Du Ruoheng replied: "I'm not in T City."

"So where are you?"

After a moment of hesitation over there, they finally reported the name of a mountainous county in Gansu.Zhou Yanchi's tone suddenly became severe: "What are you doing in that kind of place!"

Du Ruoheng hung up the phone without saying a word.

Calling again would not work at all, and then Du Ruoheng simply turned off the phone.Zhou Yanchi rubbed his brows and walked around the living room a few more times, then walked out with the car keys.At the same time, he called Zhang Yaran and asked her to book the nearest flight ticket to a certain city in Gansu.

What Zhang Yaran said was no different from what he said just now: "What are you doing in that kind of place?"

Zhou Yanchi's face was so dark that he could drip water, and he directly shook the phone.

He didn't go back to Zhou's house, and went to the airport without taking anything.Fortunately, Zhang Yaran had already been trained well, and brought him a set of suitcases that Zhou Yanchi usually kept in the company.When I was at the airport, I saw Zhou Yanchi standing near the security check, with a slender body and a box of small and delicate cookies in his hand.

Zhang Yaran opened his mouth, didn't ask any more questions, and silently handed the suitcase to the boss.

Zhou Yanchi didn't get off the plane until after midnight.He wanted to enter the mountain here, but no driver was willing to walk at night.After adding the toll to a certain level, I finally agreed, but it rained again halfway, so I refused to go any further.

This delayed the entire day, and he did not arrive at the county seat until the third day.Asked around but was told that Du Ruoheng had already left, and seemed to have gone over the mountain to the village in front.

Zhou Yanchi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, endured and endured so that he didn't explode on the spot, so he went to the village and town again starry night.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the car was extremely bumpy.It was night again when Zhou Yanchi arrived in the village.

In such a place, only people go out, and few people come in.There were very few visitors, but Zhou Yanchi attracted many eyes as soon as he entered.After a little questioning, he figured out Du Ruoheng's whereabouts.It is said that he was a guest at the home of a subsidized child. Two or three children led him to Du Ruoheng's temporary residence. He looked in the window while waiting in front of the door. There was a wooden bed and a bamboo stool, no matter how simple it was. But the conditions.

Du Ruoheng didn't come back until the moon was in the sky.She lowered her head and kept thinking about things, and she was shocked when she saw him when she walked in front of her.

Zhou Yanchi looked calm, he lifted the biscuit box in his hand, and said to her, "Are you full for tonight? There are cookies here."

It took a while for Du Ruoheng to come back to his senses.She sat down beside him and was rude to the biscuit in his hand.She really didn't have enough to eat just now, the conditions here are too harsh, the parents of the child she sponsored wanted to kill the only chicken in the house in order to thank her, but she persuaded her for a long time before giving up the idea.In the end, she drank porridge with her family of five. In fact, she had been drinking porridge continuously for the past two days when she came to the mountainous area, and she was always half-starved.

Du Ruoheng ate the cookies sweetly, it was the best thing she had eaten these days.Zhou Yanchi opened a carton of milk for her, then couldn't help touching her hair, and put the windbreaker on her body, and finally couldn't hold back the nagging: "Why do you think of this kind of place, poor mountains and bad waters, what good?"

Du Ruoheng said casually: "Come to visit the sponsored children. Give them winter clothes."

This is not the final answer.So he asked, "What else?"

"Purifies the mind."

This is not the final answer, but Zhou Yanchi didn't ask any further.

Zhou Yanchi bought a lot of snacks after getting off the plane, just to think about Du Ruoheng's lack of food.Du Ruoheng was grateful from the bottom of her heart for his behavior, so she thanked him sincerely.

Zhou Yanchi entered the house, looked around under the flashlight, but said, "I should buy another quilt and bring it here."

She glanced at him: "You might as well buy another bed and build a house here."

Before coming here, neither of them had ever lived in such a rough place.But at the same time, it has been a long time since they got along so peacefully and peacefully like tonight.Zhou Yanchi held Du Ruoheng in his arms, and the two of them hugged each other tightly from head to toe. In the cold night, the tip of her exposed nose was cold, she only sniffled slightly, then covered her cheek with her palm, and She wraps airtightly.

She closed her eyes and didn't move, and she didn't want to speak.Ten fingers stuck to his arms.After a while, only a low sigh was heard in the darkness.

Du Ruoheng came here alone, so it can't be said that he didn't have the idea of ​​fear.Especially at night, how could you not be afraid.She lives alone in this kind of dormitory where the teaching teachers live, and there is no one within a [-]-meter radius on the night of the climax of the moon, only the whistling mountain wind can be heard, which seems to be able to blow open the door panels and sway the windows. There are shadows of dense branches all over the place, and even faint voices can be heard, whether it is mountain wind, howling wolves, or something more terrifying.In fact, she hasn't slept much these past few days, she is extremely scared, and countless messy thoughts flashed through her.

Until the moment she saw Zhou Yanchi tonight, Du Ruoheng didn't want to admit that she actually had a weak urge to cry.

His breath has never been so firm as tonight.Let her relax quickly, and she fell asleep almost at the same time as her eyes closed.

Zhou Yanchi hardly slept much.He thought about many things, and what he felt in his hand was a pair of flesh and blood that he had not seen for a long time.It's only been a few days, but I always suspect that she has lost a lot of weight.What's more, the bed was narrow, and Du Ruoheng didn't sleep well, kicking him now and then, so that he had to cover her all the time, but after a while she hugged him tightly, Zhou Yanchi finally squinted. After resting his eyes for a moment, he was overwhelmed by her again.

He simply stopped sleeping and lay on his side watching her sleep peacefully until dawn.

Du Ruoheng had a good night's sleep, and woke up refreshed the next morning.Zhou Yanchi felt her crawl over him, and when he got out of bed, he closed his eyes and didn't move.After a while, he heard a rustling sound, he opened half of his eyes, and saw her squatting on the ground, looking through his suitcase.

The password Du Ruoheng has long been familiar with, he has never changed it, it has always been her birthday.After opening it for a long time, it was still just chocolate milk and biscuits. She didn't want to eat these in the morning, so she turned around and pushed him, complaining: "Why do you only buy these things?"

Zhou Yanchi finally opened his eyes.Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed her hand and kneaded slowly in the palm of his hand.The long time running around made him tired, so that the eyes he looked at her were more hazy and gentle than usual.He couldn't take a good look at it the night before, but now he looked at it for a long time, and finally said: "It's a bit dark."

Du Ruoheng was not happy to hear such words, so he broke his hand away.She planned to make some porridge by herself, but Zhou Yanchi sat up behind her and said to her, "Come back with me today."

Du Ruoheng pretended not to hear.

The weather was fine in the morning, and a child came to Du Ruoheng to ask questions about math and Chinese.Some time ago, the supporting teachers here returned to the city after completing three months of teaching tasks. Since then, there have been no new teachers for nearly a month.As a rare intellectual talent, Du Ruoheng was chased and asked questions by several studious elementary school students.Du Ruoheng gave the explanation very patiently, and distributed a piece of chocolate brought by Zhou Yanchi after answering each child.

Zhou Yanchi stood not far behind her, expressionless.Du Ruoheng was surrounded by too many people, and some children couldn't reach her clothes, so she planned to give up the next best thing, dragged her notebook to ask Zhou Yanchi, but was immediately frightened by his glance. go back.

Du Ruoheng was so busy that he had no time to get away, saw this scene by mistake, and accused him: "Either you go back, or you help. Anyway, at least you don't help here, can't you? The children here are timid, and you scare them very much." Is it a sense of accomplishment?"

Zhou Yanchi's face became more and more sinking, and after a while, he still walked over slowly.There was no smile on his face, but he took a child's exercise book in his hand and began to teach them pronunciation-this was already the limit of what he could do.

It was almost noon when the children finally left. Du Ruoheng was impressed by their politeness before leaving, with a sense of relaxation in the corners of their eyes and brows.Until Zhou Yanchi asked the question again: "If you don't leave at noon, you won't be able to make it to the county seat before dark."

Du Ruoheng didn't raise his eyebrows: "I won't go back for the time being."

Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while before asking, "What do you mean?"

"I will stay here for a while. I communicated with the village head yesterday. I have the right to be a supporting teacher and stay here for a while. I will talk about it after the new teacher arrives."

Zhou Yanchi frowned tightly: "Why did you make such a decision? The temperature here will drop below zero in more than a month. If no one comes by then, what are you going to do if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow? Stay here for a whole winter? What will Titi do then? What will happen at home? Why don’t you discuss things with me before doing things? Make such a rash decision without considering the consequences? "

His tone was bad, and Du Ruoheng's attitude was even worse: "The people in this village haven't died of freezing for many years. Why do I have to discuss with you about what I do? If you don't like it, I can't do it." Isn't it? I didn't force you to come. If you're not used to it, you can go now."

Zhou Yanchi took a deep breath before he swallowed so many heart-pounding words.

The two of them had a complete conversation, Zhou Yanchi's face sank like water, and his eyes were as cold as frost and rain.Du Ruoheng concentrated on eating lunch alone, while Zhou Yanchi looked at her without swallowing a mouthful.After noon, the driver finished his cigarette and came to ask Zhou Yanchi when to leave. He said, "Let's go now."

Du Ruoheng was too lazy to see him off.Just when a child came to chat with her, she found a good excuse to be entangled, completely ignoring Zhou Yanchi behind her who was about to see a hole in her eyes.After a while he put all the snacks on the table, and left behind the thickest coat he had brought.Du Ruoheng was still too lazy to respond to him when he actually left, and the smile on Du Ruoheng's face couldn't be maintained until the car started the engine and went farther and farther, and finally turned around and couldn't see it.

The child timidly asked her who was that just now, and Du Ruoheng almost blurted out the word "bastard".After holding back, he said with a cold face: "I don't know him. Don't pay attention to him."

But the child left after a while, and Du Ruoheng sat alone on the steps in front of the door, the autumn wind was rustling, she put her hands across her knees, and in her heart hated to torture Zhou Yanchi eighteen thousand times in different ways from beginning to end.Suddenly I heard footsteps, then a pair of shoes appeared in my eyes, and finally a familiar figure.

Zhou Yanchi looked down at her with handsome and gentle eyes.

She raised her face and looked at him for a moment, her tone was not kind, slightly unsteady: "What are you doing back?"

Zhou Yanchi squatted down, put her cold hands into his arms, and sighed softly: "I can't really leave you."

Du Ruoheng said coldly: "Who would believe it? It took you so long to think of coming back."

He showed her the time on his wrist: "It's only been 5 minutes."
