When Fang Huaiming made a video with Li Ting again, this time it was his turn to cook and broadcast, and he ate deliciously with a sandwich.

Li Ting looked at him strangely, Fang Huai Ning guessed his question and said: "My parents didn't dine with me, they encountered some problems, they need to hold a family meeting to discuss and discuss, there should be an answer soon .”

Li Ting didn't know, but he didn't ask.It was already night here, and Fang Huaiming could see him half leaning against the head of the bed, lying lazily under the quilt.The phone seemed to be resting on the cat's stomach, Li Ting didn't care about the beautiful angle of the camera at all, just lowered his head and looked down at Fang Huailing on the screen.

It's supposed to be a good looking angle, but in Fang Huaiming's view, Li Ting really looks better the closer he is, the lines from his chin to his neck are particularly delicate and beautiful, especially Li Ting probably wants to sleep, looking at Fang Huai Ning's The expression is a little sleepy and a little confused, the frequency of blinking has become very slow, and the eyelashes are hanging down, which is very cute.

Fang Huai Ning stroked the phone lightly with her fingertips, her tone was still normal: "It's late there, go to bed early."

Li Ting said, "Oh."

However, neither of them turned off the video immediately.

Fang Huai Ning waited for him.

Li Ting said: "Shut it up, I'll read for a while, I'm not tired."

Fang Huai Ning stared at each other: "Did you not sleep well at night?"

Li Ting: "No."

Fang Huai Ning was silent for a while: "Then watch it, the video is already on, and I also have some information to sort out."

Li Ting thought for a while, put the phone aside, and picked up the book.

After Fang Huailing finished his sandwich, he turned on the computer to prepare his thesis. When he looked at the screen after a while, he saw the kitten lying on the bedside as if asleep, with its hair hanging down its cheeks, looking quiet and childish.

Fang Huai Ning looked at him for a long time, then said softly, "I'll be back in two days."

Unexpectedly, Li Ting, who was asleep, twitched his eyelashes, moved his lips, and replied.

"I know……"

……

Fang Huai Ning waited until Li Ting fell asleep before leaving the room. Outside, the two parents had already had lunch at the dining table, and it seemed that the two were in the same state as before.

Seeing him, Qiu Yu asked the servants to serve his son a meal. Fang Huai Ning said that he had already eaten, but he did not walk away to show politeness. Instead, he sat down with him and looked at the distant wall. television.

The weather forecast shows that there will be strong winds and thunderstorms the day after tomorrow, so residents should pay attention to protection.

Fang's father was also watching. After reading it, he said, "January should have the fewest thunderstorms. The weather is a bit abnormal."

Fang's mother said: "Although it's a little different, we have to do whatever we want. Who made our home and family here."

Then she asked Fang Huai Ning: "Is that right? Ning Ning?"

Fang Huai Ning's eyes moved, she looked at her mother, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

Mother Fang elegantly cut the food on the plate with a knife and fork: "But it was an accident anyway, I can't say I am happy about it, after all, we have never experienced such a thing before, and it is not an easy one I can only say that based on your persistence, your father and I have to seriously discuss it. We feel that there is no right or wrong in love itself on the rational side, but it will take us a while to digest the emotional side.”

"So..." Fang Huai Ning listened to the results of her parents' discussion. Although she had already expected it, she was still nervous when it came to this point.

"So..." Father Fang interjected, "What we can do is not to define the nature of this matter itself prematurely. Whether it is worthwhile or not, and whether it is suitable or not should be tested slowly through your development. Whether it is support or opposition, we should discuss it at that time, as for now...we choose to wait and see."

Hearing this answer, Fang Huailing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Fang Huai Ning said sincerely.

"When you grow up, you have the right to choose what you want," Qiu Yu finally smiled for the first time in two days, seeing the unconcealable joy of his usually prudent son because of his words. "So we also thank you for being willing to confess all this to us so early on."

Fang Huai Ning nodded movedly.

"Then...that child, when can we meet?" Father Fang asked hesitantly.

As soon as she spoke, she was stared back by Mother Fang: "Are you all talking and posing for nothing? What's the hurry? Let's have lunch first. Miss Mary will let us go and see the sheep in front of me. Don't give Lei a hand at night." I was scared to death." The couple still didn't know much about the management of the ranch, so they hired local people to help manage it.

Hearing that the topic of the two quickly turned to chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, Fang Huai Ning slowly got up and walked towards the room, with a smile on his lips, but when he left the living room, he couldn't help but look back worriedly. Glanced at the TV.

……

When Li Ting woke up, the mobile phone was placed beside the pillow, it was out of battery, and the sky outside was very bright.Li Ting couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he got up to charge his phone, and then went to the kitchen to make oatmeal.

This time, after finishing the porridge, I received Fang Huaining's video invitation, and when I opened it, I saw a rather embarrassed person.Fang Huai Ning was wearing a straw hat, her sleeves and trousers were all rolled up, most of her body was wet.

When he saw Li Ting, he hurriedly said, "It's raining heavily here, I just went outside to lock the sheepfold, and I have to go out later."

Fang Huai Ning was standing at the door of the house, and Li Ting could see behind him the pouring rain curtain blurred the background.

Li Ting frowned: "Aren't you cold?"

"The temperature here is not bad. I'll take a shower after I'm done with work." Fang Huaining said with a helpless expression. She was here for a vacation, but turned into a coolie.

Li Ting raised his eyebrows: "It's hard to be a farmer?"

Fang Huaining opened his mouth to agree with this, but when he thought of Li Ting's appearance in the field like a fish in water, and he was exhausted after only doing so little, he straightened his face and said: "It's okay..."

"Oh," Li Ting nodded, then narrowed his eyes suddenly, "to the west at ten o'clock."

Fang Huai Ning was at a loss: "?"

Li Ting: "A sheep just ran out."

Fang Huai Ning turned around: "..."

Fang Huai Ning: "Then what, I'll go to work first, we'll talk later."

……

Fang Huaining said it would take a while, but Li Ting didn't hear from him at night, so he sat on the sofa for a while after dinner and turned on the TV.Li Ting almost couldn't remember how many years he hadn't watched this stuff. After tuning down the channels, he couldn't find anything he was interested in, and finally turned them off again.

After thinking about it, he turned on the computer again, found the game that Fang Huai Ning had given him before and logged in. When the other party was there, he took him to successfully complete several dungeons. At that time, Li Ting played quite well, but today In just a few minutes he was dead three times.

Li Ting felt bored and backed out again.

After turning around, he picked up his phone again and logged into the small ranch.

At this time, I finally received a message from Fang Huailing.

F: The thunderstorm on my side seems to have affected the communication, the network is unstable, and there is no way to open the video.

Li Ting replied.

L: Then don't open it.

It took a long time to come back there.

F: The news is also a little bit late. I just checked the flights, and many of them were delayed or canceled. I am really unlucky. I hope the weather will be better when I come back.

L: What if it’s not good?

Li Ting sent this sentence, but there was no response for a long time, and the phone rang again when Li Ting was lying on the bed and hadn't slept.

F: If it doesn’t work, I can only come back on my ship [helpless]

F: I will definitely come back [seriously]

Li Ting watched the last sentence and slowly closed his eyes.

……

However, on the fourth day, he did not contact Huai Ning Fang for the whole day.

Li Ting watched the news. There was a sudden bad weather in Continent D in Country A. Many local residents were affected. The communication network and power supply were also interrupted. [-]% of the flights were grounded. However, the government is already rushing to repair it. The situation is not too serious and there are no personnel. Injury, normal supply is expected to resume in one to two days.

Li Ting changed several channels and watched the news several times before turning off the TV.Different from Country A, the weather in City A these two days has been particularly bright, with the sun shining on the earth every day, without the severe cold of the previous few days.

Standing by the window, Li Ting silently watched the bright red Spring Festival couplets pasted on the windows of the opposite house, and festive lanterns were also hung at the entrance of the community.

Only then did Li Ting realize that there are two more days until New Year's Eve...

********

That Fang Huai Ning was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. This kind of natural disaster and man-made disaster that is completely irresistible makes people have no energy to use.

Even if he has learned so much computer technology, he can only stare at the computer when he encounters a hardware failure.It is still raining outside, which is much lighter than before, but most of the flights are still queuing up. This speed may not be fully queued until tomorrow or the next day. However, the network in D town is also up and down. At most, it can only open a webpage or something, and if it really needs to communicate across the country, it will crash.

Seeing that the bulk of the messages she wrote down could only stay in Xiaomaochang's call box, Fang Huaining frowned and was speechless.

Mother Fang seemed to know her son's displeasure, so she came over and handed him a glass of water, but regretfully said: "It's our fault, if I knew it, I shouldn't have chosen this time to come here, and I shouldn't have asked you to come back on purpose."

Fang Huai Ning looked at her mother: "This has nothing to do with you, it's just a coincidence."

"Did you... tell him? Maybe you can't go back to celebrate the New Year?" Mother Fang asked deliberately.

Fang Huai Ning frowned when she heard this, "Not yet, I want to check the flight again."

Fang's mother sighed helplessly when she saw that her son still didn't give up, she seemed to finally understand the meaning of the other's sentence "he is the person I like very much".

Alas, Mother Fang shook her head and let him go.

Fang Huai Ning stared at the computer for a while, stared at the phone for a while, and finally walked back and forth in the room not very calmly.

Although he knew that Li Ting would not blame him, and he might not even care about it very much, as long as Fang Huai Ning thought of the day when his family was reunited and Li Ting was left alone in that house, his heart would be filled. Indescribably uncomfortable.

But the ticket he booked was for tomorrow morning, and the airline had sent a message saying that the flight had been cancelled, and the rest of the flights were still pending. It seemed that he was really going to break his promise to his kitten this time.

Fang Huai Ning closed her eyes, and when she was about to accept this fact, she suddenly glanced out of the corner of her eye and was stunned again.

When he first arrived here, he was preoccupied with keeping in touch with Li Ting, and for the next two days, he was preoccupied with helping the ranch, so Fang Huailing hardly paid attention to the decoration of the room, and only now noticed the bookshelf. A lot of things are placed.

After being stunned, Fang Huai Ning slowly reached out and took one of them.

A tiny robot the size of a palm.

Including the rest on the shelf, there are five in total, which are different from Li Ting's one, but it can be seen that they belong to the same series.

Fang Huai Ning stared at it for a long time before returning to his senses. He walked out of the room and asked his mother downstairs.

"Where did all the things on the bookshelf come from?"

Qiu Yu looked up: "Ah? Your father and I brought you here from City Y. From now on, this will be your room, even though you're only here for vacation." But in order to have a homely atmosphere, Fang's father and mother took it. Some things from Fang Huailing's room were brought over, most of them were toys and books from Fang Huailing's childhood.

Fang Huai Ning was at a loss: So this set of souvenirs is actually in country A?In City Y?Why?

It seems... It was brought here when he came back here to visit his parents during the winter and summer vacations, that is, the years when he was in contact with the little gray people.

Contact... How many years?

Because there was very little content during this period of time when I was looking back at the email, Fang Huai Ning forgot it.But he had been communicating with the little grays all the time, so why did he have fewer contacts during the winter and summer vacations?

Fang Huai Ning felt as if she had missed something.

He tried hard to think about it, but suddenly there was a shock.

Fang Huai Ning remembered!

It was also a communication problem. At that time, the mailbox he used often lagged behind when he went abroad, so he used to use an mailbox to contact the gray people.

Thinking of this, Fang Huai Ning hurried back to the room.

Over the years, his registration habits are limited to those types. Although his memory is fuzzy, Fang Huai Ning managed to remember the email address by relying on the combination of the letters and numbers he used to, and he did it like the first time. , luckily opened it.

After all, these are the fond memories of him and Li Ting in the past, and of course he is very happy to have Fang Huaining back.

But when the page was swiped out, Fang Huai Ning was stunned again.

It is true that there are many old letters lying in it, but besides that, there are actually several unread emails... and the latest one was just three years ago.

The sender - the little gray man.
