Sir, what if it's too cold?

What happened last night?

To be honest, Xu Muran couldn't remember at all.

This is the first time in her life that she got drunk, because it was introduced by her boss friend, so she can drink alcoholic beverages casually; and because the bartender who just joined the job is handsome and enthusiastic, he happily introduced the origin of sparkling wine to her at length And the sweetness, she seems to have drank too much.

All that remained of her impression of last night was the ambiguous lights, one glass after another of alcohol, as if... there was another person.

A man with his arms folded on his chest, looking at her from a distance.

Tsk, let's drink too much.

Xu Muran sat up straight and thought about how he got home with a splitting headache. It couldn't be that he suddenly awakened to the wizard blood after drinking too much, and used a goblet instead of a wand to apparate back, right?

She grabbed the phone next to her pillow and took a look, it was nine twenty.She probably won't be able to go this morning, so she sent a text message to ask Bai Meng for a vacation, then yawned and pushed open the half-hidden door.

As soon as he arrived at the living room, he saw Zhao Yiqing sitting on the sofa with a haggard face after staying up all night, and Xu Muran was moved for a moment: after spending a night, he still remembers to send himself back, this is called a close friend.

She leaned over with a playful smile: "I seemed to be broken last night, did you send me back?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi looked up at her, reached out and knocked on the table: "Sit."

"Why are you doing this? It's like interrogating a criminal suspect..." Xu Muran sat down beside her, "Don't dare to admit to doing good deeds?"

The other party's next sentence made her choke: "How did you come back last night?"

Xu Muran: "You didn't send me back?"

Zhao Yi: "Of course I didn't send you back."

The two looked at each other in bewilderment, neither thinking that the other was telling the truth.

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth angrily: "Do you know what happened last night?"

"what?"

From her mouth, Xu Muran was shocked to learn that Zhao Yi just went out to the nearby pharmacy to buy a pack of hangover medicine, and when he came back, he found that he didn't even have his bag.She searched around the entire bar for three or four times but did not see Xu Muran's figure, so she had to ask a friend to check the surveillance.

As a result, the sky did not follow the wishes of the people. The monitoring has just been put into use, and some settings have not been adjusted in time. There is no one on the screen, only a snowflake.

She went to the security guard again, and the security guard said, "I have seen the person you mentioned before, but he was taken away by a woman..."

Zhao Yi was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood, but at least he had some clues.It's not that she never thought of calling the police, but there is a rule that a case can only be filed after 24 hours of disappearance.After returning home, the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she didn't even catch up on sleep. She took a taxi directly to Xu Muran's house after seven o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Yi looked at her with a stinky face: "Do you know how I got in?"

Xu Muran: "Huh?"

"I knocked on the door outside, but no one paid any attention to me. I knocked the old lady on the opposite door and beat me up. I called your mother again, and she said she left a spare key on the first floor 102. I went downstairs to knock on the door of 102, but the old man in 102 went out to catch the morning market and came back at 08:30, so I took the key and entered.

"As soon as I entered the door, I saw your bedroom door open. I was so scared that I rushed over to have a look. I saw that you were sleeping like a pig. You should smash your mouth."

Xu Muran gave a dry laugh with a very guilty conscience: "You...have a fulfilling night this evening, huh?"

Zhao Yi rubbed his hands, with huge dark circles under his eyes, and smiled sinisterly: "You really have other women outside. Come on, tell me, who sent you back?"

"I..." Xu Muran still wanted to use the tactic of delaying the attack, but the other party didn't give her a chance to use it, not even an opening remark, and used the move "Black Tiger's Heart Out" with perfect proficiency, directly hitting Xu Muran's armpit.

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, don't scratch me..." Xu Muran was tormented by her so much that he wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, but he had no strength to push Zhao Yi away: "No matter how much you scratch me, I can't remember who scratched me." I……"

Hey, what did Zhao Yi just say?

A... woman?

Xu Muran instantly felt the hairs all over his body explode: Could it be the person she thought of?

Obviously, I went to the bar to avoid her, so...how could I meet her?She thought about it for a long time, and only thought of Zhou Qing's possibility. After all, who would have nothing to do at night, drive to the bar, and take the trouble to bring her back?

Before she had time to think about it, Zhao Yi let go of her, stretched wearily, and stood up: "Forget it, forget it, I've been busy all night, I'll just go home and sleep as long as you're fine. Another day..." She paused, "No, I dare not make an appointment another day."

Xu Muran smiled: "Don't, the old driver take me?"

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes: "It's too heavy, I can't carry it, it slipped away."

Xu Muran sent Zhao Yi away, opened the window of the living room a little to ventilate, and then returned to the bedroom, without even hesitating, he threw himself on the bed, quickly wrapped himself in the quilt, and took the bed He took a sip from the water glass next to him.

Just when she put down the glass, she felt that something was wrong... Wait.

She doesn't remember that she put a glass of water by the bed before going out, and it can't be Zhao Yi's doing it - it's been a few months since she came to her home last time, and she doesn't know that she likes to use it recently Which set of cups, even if she knew, could she just choose the one she likes the most?

Xu Muran's eyes stopped on the orange-red ceramic milk cup that she was pampering recently. This was bought from a handmade ceramics shop that she accidentally found when she was shopping on Taobao last month, and she couldn't put it down after it arrived.Even if you don't drink water, because of the bright color, it's not bad to put it in the house as a decoration.

The last time I used it when there were outsiders at home was when Zhou Qing came.

Thinking of this, Xu Muran only felt his head hurt again.

She swiped open the lock screen of her phone, clicked into WeChat, and hovered over the word "Zhou Qing" with her right thumb for a long time, but finally did not press it.

Xu Muran hesitated, opened the address book, and called Zhou Qing.

If there is a problem, you still have to talk about it face to face.

Zhou Qing was reading a book with his forehead propped up, when he was suddenly interrupted by a ringing call.She raised her eyes to see the name of the caller, and answered it in a good mood: "Muran?"

"Teacher Zhou," Xu Muran's voice sounded sober: "Do you have time now?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I want to ask you something." She was silent for a while, "Last night, Blue Night Bar, were you the one who sent me back?"

She didn't ask why Zhou Qing appeared there by such a coincidence, after all, there was no feasible explanation, and——

This is not important.

"It's me," Zhou Qing was a little surprised by the seriousness in her tone, "How do you feel now?"

Not too good, with a hangover and tiredness, giving her a lever can smash the whole earth.

However, Xu Muran didn't answer this question directly, but simply said: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern. By the way, did you pour the water next to my bed for me?"

"Yes," Zhou Qing felt more and more that Xu Muran was abnormal today. She closed the book in her hand and asked, "What's the matter, what's the problem?"

Xu Muran didn't speak for a long time.For more than ten seconds, Zhou Qing even felt that there was a problem with the signal on her side. She repeatedly took the phone away from her ear to check whether the call was still there. She didn't want to hang up and redial, but was waiting nervously. .

Fortunately, after a while, Xu Muran finally said, "Zhou Qing."

She paused, then spoke again, with a bit of confusion in her voice: "How can I, let you treat me like this?"

Zhou Qing's heart trembled violently, and there was only one thought left in her mind: she had discovered, discovered the truest thought hidden deep in her heart.

She never wanted to be a good lady and share her concern with everyone. She thought that loving only one person had already taken up all her thoughts, and casting nets everywhere was never her hobby.

I would never want to be your friend if I could.

She was not as relaxed or relieved as she had imagined, and what replaced those was fear.

She was afraid that Xu Muran would find out that her motives were impure.

Zhou Qing cleared her throat: "Muran, listen to me..."

For a moment, it seemed that the entire Xinhua dictionary had been turned over in her mind, but she couldn't find any suitable words to describe what she was thinking now.

She pondered over those words in her stomach for thousands of times, but when the critical moment came, she couldn't say a word; the strings in her mind were suddenly tense to the extreme, as long as there was another straw, it might break at any time. Danger.

"Forget it," Xu Muran smiled helplessly, "You are here to repay your kindness in this life, right?"

Hearing her witty words all of a sudden, Zhou Qing didn't react for a while: "Huh?"

"I said, you owed me too much in your last life and couldn't afford it, so you have to wait for the next life to pay it back one by one slowly."

Reincarnation, Zhou Qing bent her lips subconsciously, perhaps it was true.

From the first meeting to the later meeting that was not intentional, even she, an atheist, found it amazing how in the vast sea of ​​people, only you could catch my eyes.

"Speaking of which," Xu Muran asked again: "What are your plans for this weekend? I told you yesterday that I had my eyes on a coat and I couldn't make up my mind which color to buy. Can you accompany me to have a look?"

this weekend……

Zhou Qing summed up quickly, and replied with some regret: "No, I'm going on a business trip this weekend."

"Oh," Xu Muran replied, "Where are you going?"

"Going to Jiang City, there is an academic meeting to be held."

"Ah."

After that, the two had nothing to say, and all they could hear in the microphone was the other's breathing.

Zhou Qing was thinking of something to end this difficult silence, when he heard Xu Muran say softly: "Then come back early, I'll wait for you to go shopping together."

Her ending sound was like a long feather, passing through Zhou Qing's heart softly.
