Chapter 3 Morning Without You

On a cold morning in Taipei, Ke Kailuo drove east, away from Tian Ruixin.

In the early morning of last winter, she did the same, gently stroking Rui Xin's sleeping face, got up silently and left her, and set off to return to this home in Xinyi District.It’s just that this family is no longer a family, an empty house without daughter Lingling... Carol lowered the car window to let the cold wind wake her up, red light, “Stop feeling sorry for yourself!” She shouted to herself, taking a deep breath Holding on to it again, Rui Xin's face that suddenly appeared at last night's dinner appeared in his mind.The green light, the empty city, but Carol's heart is full of memories of last night with Rui Xin.

"Just cancel the appointment in the morning! Take a shower and change your clothes, and then you can invite Ruixin to have breakfast together..." Carol immediately pursed her lips and denied this idea. How could she make an appointment with an interpreter to come to the interview and reschedule it arbitrarily? See you Ruixin at noon.

The elevator goes upstairs and the door of Xinyi's house is opened. It is so quiet that the dark sky seems to be unable to see through the light. The piano, the empty sofa, and the floor without toys seem to echo with their own footsteps when they walk by.It was only then that Carol realized that she had let go of the remaining wine on the table and the glass she drank, and took it into the kitchen to clean it up.I'm a little tired, I'll feel better after taking a shower.Walking into the bathroom, she sat in front of the mirror and began to remove makeup.

While thinking about having hired a cleaning company to clean the new apartment on Dunhua South Road in the afternoon, he might have to call the agent in Xinyi District to find out about the progress of the sale.The warm water from the lotus pod hanging from the top lightly hit her clear and beautiful face, and she thought of Rui Xin again. "She must be lying in bed, call her." While wiping her face with a bath towel, she turned out the phone, ignoring the dripping water on her hand, and pressed the speed dial that had been built on the phone desktop. Sure enough, she waited for a long time Only then did he connect: "Rui Xin, shouldn't it be time to get up, take a shower and get ready for work?"

"...Huh? Carol? Where are you?"

"I've already taken a shower at home, you should get up!"

Obviously still stay in bed.Carol hung up the phone with a smile and put down the phone.When she saw herself in the mirror, she was a little strange, did she lose weight?She straightened herself, took a breath, and bent down again to inspect her face.

"It's a new beginning! Hello!" Feeling that the sun seemed to show his face, he wiped his body and walked into the dressing room.

Tian Ruixin, who was in the old apartment in Heti, unconsciously held the phone that had been hung up under the quilt, recalling Kailuo's gentle voice and said: "I'll go and find you for dinner at noon, okay? Give me the company address..." Almost replied Can't come out!I don't know if I'm right...

She stretched and finally got up.After waking up, the flustered memory of Kai Luo disappearing flashed by, "Woo! It's so cold!" She shivered, and hurriedly picked up the coat on the back of the chair to put it on, and saw that the clothes that should have been scattered on the floor had been tidied up Folding it on the chair, she felt a sense of déjà vu and found a message written by Kai Luo in the middle of the desk.

"Rui Xin, my phone number has not changed: 09XX-XXX-XXX, you can call me anytime. C."

Rui Xin only felt sweet and funny in her heart: "Didn't you call early in the morning?"

Then squeezed in the MRT, Tian Ruixin suddenly thought that he could ask Kai Luo about the new apartment at noon, and if it was possible to move, he had to ask the landlord to cancel the rent.Stepping out of the MRT, the original cloudy sky has just cleared up!Rui Xin was in a good mood, and almost jumped up and down on the way to the company.

At 12:[-] noon, Rui Xin stepped out of the gate on the first floor of the company. In a gust of wind, Ke Kailuo, wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, was coming out of the driver's seat to look around. The corner of her scarf was blown up, and her hair was about to be blown too. Messed up.Her mature face with beautiful facial features was resolutely lifting her chin slightly, with an aura full of confidence, but it seemed that she lacked that calmness today?Rui Xin was among a group of colleagues, at the door of this familiar company, looking at Kai Luo who she had imagined meeting on the street so many times in the past few months, and she was waiting here for her at this moment.Looking at her posture stroking her hair against the wind, she is so beautiful. Do colleagues think that some celebrity is coming to the TV station at this time?Finally Carol's eyes found her, she smiled and nodded to her to get in the car.

They came to the nearby Huashan Park. After parking the car, Kai Luo led her to the edge of the park. After turning a corner, it was a red brick warehouse-like building with two small blocks at the entrance. The statue of an angel, Rui Xin caught a glimpse, it is Cupid, right?One was looking at her with a smile, and the other looked happy and mischievous.Bend into this entrance and enter the restaurant room. The high-ceilinged restaurant has a refreshing European-style decoration. After turning around the entrance, there are several large spaces with several walls that have been opened. The sun shines through the high windows. A square dining table with only three or four tables sparsely covered with snow-white and green checkered tablecloths, not many guests.

Kai Luo chose the seat by the window and sat down first, took off her sunglasses and put them on the table, and patiently looked at Rui Xin who was looking around.After everyone sat down, the waiter came over to serve water and put down the big and heavy menu.

"Order what you like! Let me treat you to a meal, okay?" Carol looked at Rui Xin and said.

The sun shines through the elegant window by the table, and the trees outside are swaying in the wind. Ke Kailuo sees the sun and the shadows of the trees reflected on Tian Ruixin's beige blouse. The content of the new job, how the morning was unprecedented, and the submission was super smooth and early, and the steak burger was delicious.It was ecstatically satisfying to see Carol look so cute and beaming and happy.Kai Luo ordered fish herself, and chose a glass of white wine, but only took two mouthfuls of fish to go with the wine, then put down the knife and fork, and leaned relaxedly to listen to Rui Xin's words.

"Then what kind of person is your supervisor? Male? Female?"

"The little manager is a boy, and the big manager is a girl."

Rui Xin finally finished the rather large steak burger, and gulped down a big mouthful of Coke.Rui Xin, who was wiping her mouth with a napkin, also saw the sunlight shining on Kai Luo by the window, her face seemed to be shining, so beautiful and elegant, no one else could compare to her.

"How are they?" She stared at Kai Luo's lips, although she heard her slowly asking, but thinking of the kiss last night, Rui Xin couldn't answer the words.It was only when she saw Kailo's smiling, charming eyes and concerned eyes that she came back to herself.

"Oh! The little manager is a bit nervous, but he's a nice guy! I think so." Rui Xin lowered her head and smiled sheepishly.Kailo asked her if she wanted to have dessert, turned her head and raised her hand lightly to ask for a waiter, "Please give us the dessert menu" and suddenly remembered something and asked Rui Xin: "What time do you go to work in the afternoon?"

"Basically I will go to the interview in the afternoon when I'm full, but my press conference in the afternoon won't start until 02:30, and the location is very close..." Kailuo looked at her watch, nodded to Ruixin, and said to the waiter: "It's okay, let's just go over and order some desserts and take away!" He stood up and stretched out his hand to hold Rui Xin, "We're here to choose desserts." Grabbing the purse with one hand, he gently took her hand and walked towards the counter.

In the end, Kai Luo asked Ruixin to pick six small cakes, and asked the restaurant to put them in take-out boxes, and asked Ruixin to take them home for colleagues to eat.Rui Xin said that the time is just enough, and it will be fine if she walks back by herself.She was in a hurry to go back but was reluctant to leave Kai Luo's funny face, which made Kai Luo smile.Seeing her running back after walking a few steps, she worriedly said to Carol, "You were drinking just now! What about driving?"

Seeing her flustered, Carol thought to herself that the cake might not be complete by the time it arrived at the office.

"I'll sit here before I leave, don't worry. Go back and walk well, don't fall and get hurt in a hurry..." She could only confess in this way gently.

In the afternoon, Ke Kailuo was on vacation. In the new apartment on Dunhua South Road, two young men from the cleaning company walked out the door and said, "Thank you! Mrs. Ke! The bill company will send you the bill again!"

Carol smiled back and closed the door softly.Ah?Mrs. Ke? ?Hehe...I'm not Mrs. Zhai anymore!She shook her head, young people are always confused about the situation.After seeing the newly decorated house after removing the construction debris, she felt a little proud in her heart.

what time is it?Is it time for Josh to have dinner?At this time, the mobile phone placed on the dining table in the center of the room rang with a "ding!"It was Rui Xin who sent a text message: "Carol, I received a text message from the landlord saying that the water heater is broken. It's really bad!"

She directly pressed Rui Xin's shortcut on the phone, and Rui Xin answered immediately,

"Carol!" It's only been a while since Rui Xin was seen, but hearing her lovely voice still makes people's hearts flutter.

"I received your text message, why don't you come and live with me tonight, okay?"

"Well...Okay. Then I will drop by home later to bring clothes, and I have to go back to the company to submit the draft and wait to see the tape..."

"Will it be late? Can we have dinner together after you're done?"

"It should be finished after seven o'clock, and we can definitely leave at 07:30, I think."

Carol raised her head slightly and thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go pick you up!"

The author has something to say:

Can you believe it?The first page of Chapter 1 of this whole story was typed on my mobile phone in the cinema.Within a month of watching Carol's movie, the two of them lived in my mind all the time.That day, I went out anyway, and when I got to a lively place, sitting in a group of people waiting to watch Superman vs. Batman, the two of them were still noisy; I had to take out my phone, open a blank file, and start releasing them , it was a wonderful experience.
