Salted Lemon Seven

The departmental dinner that had been agreed upon originally turned out to be Xie Rongrong's birthday party inexplicably in the end.Xia Xingyan was sitting in the corner of the box with a cold face, while a group of Maibas were fighting over the microphones, crying and howling.

The group of people waited until the cake came to calm down. He wanted to leave, but they seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and people sitting on the left and right stopped them from leaving first.Then a dozen beers were brought up and the boring game started again.

Well-worn truth or dare.

Even Xia Xingyan drank a lot.

Xia Xingyan only received the news from Luo Ning when he got on the bus. He was so tired that he didn't bother to take out his phone to read it.

His drinking capacity is average, there is a certain limit, and if he exceeds it, he will get drunk.He was not very lucky today. He drank several dozens of beers and answered two more questions before he was done.

After returning home, he took a shower to try to calm down while he was still drunk, but the stamina did not completely dissipate.

Luo Ning had a nightmare.He dreamed that he became very small, with the falling snow mountain behind him, and the snowball was chasing after him with fresh snow.He fled and fled, but in the end his limbs were pinned down by the snowball and he couldn't move.

The strange feeling was too real, Luo Ning frowned and struggled, but felt even more physically uncomfortable.

Luo Ning slowly opened his eyes, the weak light made his eye sockets sour.After he slowly got used to the light, he realized that the person pressing on him was actually Xia Xingyan.

Luo Ning looked at Xia Xingyan ignorantly, and opened her lips slightly as if she wanted to speak, but Xia Xingyan leaned over and kissed her.With the boy's movements, the cracking pain gradually spread.

Tears slowly welled up in Luo Ning's amber pupils, he turned his face sideways in pain, and said softly, "It hurts... woo... brother, no, no..."

But Xia Xingyan ignored his tears, just kissed him over and over again, hurting him over and over again.

Luo Ning was crying intermittently, shedding tears because of the pain.It wasn't until the body was slowly turned over and the little face was buried in the soft pillow that the sound gradually stopped.

Luo Ning felt a little out of breath, but Xia Xingyan's hand pinched the back of his neck, and he couldn't break free.In the end, the boy forced his face away and kissed him fiercely and urgently.

[...Delete pull lights...]

Xia Xingyan woke up when the alarm clock rang for the first time.He still has a part-time job at Chai Café during the day on weekends. Although he drank alcohol last night, his stubborn biological clock still hasn't changed.

He pressed his forehead and recalled what happened last night with some pain.When he returned to the room after taking a shower, he saw Luo Ning sleeping soundly, her beautiful amber eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes curled up like small fans were trembling slightly, which was inexplicably seductive.Then things gradually got out of his rational control.

Xia Xingyan frowned and calmed down, first went to get a basin of hot water for Luo Ning to clean up.Then he turned on his phone and saw the news from last night. He frowned, and reached out to check the temperature of Luo Ning's forehead.

He first went to the nearest pharmacy to buy some antipyretics and cold preparations, and then quickly boiled a pot of hot water.

Time was running out, and seeing that it was almost too late to go to work, he had to put the medicine and hot water on the bedside table first, and took a post-it note and wrote a few words of advice and pasted it on the bedside table.

Luo Ning fell into a sleepy sleep until almost noon. He had no strength at all. He was already suffering from a fever, and after being pressed all night, he almost knelt on the floor even when he got out of bed.

He saw the post-it note on the bedside table at a glance, and took a rest for a while after taking antipyretics and cold medicine with hot water.I gained a little strength, but I was still uncomfortable.Luo Ning gathered up her strength and changed her clothes, and was about to go out and take a taxi to the nearby hospital to have a look.

But just after he locked the door and didn't take two steps, he started to feel dizzy again, and he wobbled all of a sudden and fell down.

It happened to be Saturday, and Cen Cheng and Ji Churan, who lived next door, were about to go to the nearby supermarket to buy something. When they opened the door, they saw Luo Ning who had fallen down, and they were shocked.

Luo Ning tried hard to stand up, but her strength seemed to be exhausted.He just said awkwardly, "I'm fine."

Cen Cheng hurried to help him, reached out his hand to Luo Ning's forehead, and then shouted anxiously into the room, "Chu Ran, come out quickly."

Ji Churan locked the door and saw this scene when he came out, he frowned, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He had a bad fever and fell down. I don't have enough strength, please help him quickly."

Ji Churan said hello without much hesitation, walked over and hugged Luo Ning.Cen Cheng also pressed the elevator button.

Luo Ning was so dizzy that she huddled in Ji Churan's arms in embarrassment, and murmured "Thank you".

Ji Churan's car was parked in the underground garage, and Luo Ning lay on the back seat, shrinking herself into a small ball.

After taking the antipyretics prescribed by the doctor, Cen Cheng and the others accompanied Luo Ning to get an IV, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth.After Luo Ning's spirit improved, she felt very sorry for this.

Cen Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you are Brother Luo Xiao's younger brother, and we are neighbors, so it's normal to take care of each other."

Luo Ning said "Thank you" softly again.

He looked at the half of the salt water bag left, and rubbed the corners of his lips into a smile: "Go and do your own business, I don't care anymore. I'll go back after hanging the salt water, I've delayed you for a long time It's..."

"We're just planning to go to the supermarket, there's nothing to disturb." Cen Cheng blinked.

Ji Churan also said along the way: "Well, Xiaocheng can only feel at ease when I send you back."

Having said all this, Luo Ning was too embarrassed to refuse, so he obediently thanked her again.

It was only after Luo Ning got home that she found that her phone had been left at home, no wonder she felt something was missing when she hung up the salt water just now.He also forgot to ask how much the medicine cost, or Ji Churan helped to pay for it.He originally wanted to send a message to ask about Cen Cheng, but after turning on his phone, he realized that Xia Xingyan had sent a message.

Xia Xingyan: 【Have you taken your medicine yet? 】

After a while.

Xia Xingyan: [? 】

Luo Ning bit her lower lip, and replied: 【Eat it. 】

He didn't mention that he went to the hospital to get an IV drip. Anyway, the fever has subsided, so there is no need to worry about it.

Luo Ning changed into her pajamas and lay back under the quilt, the soft quilt was rolled up like a rice dumpling.

The phone suddenly vibrated twice. He thought it was Cen Cheng's message or Xia Xingyan's, but after clicking on it, he saw that it was Aite him, a member of their professional group.

He recruited 49 people for his major in arts and sciences in one year, and he was drawn into a large group not long after the start of school.Luo Ning has always blocked this group, and has never sent any news, so he was quite confused when he was suddenly attacked by someone.

It was an unfamiliar girl who shared a post on the school forum.

Classmate A: [@罗品, wow, I think you should click on it and have a look. 】

Classmate B: [What? 】

Classmate C: [Halo, isn't this the school grass, and the department flower of the School of Economics. 】

……

Luo Ning frowned, and clicked on the post.

What came into view were a few vague photos, but the title of the post included the words Xie Rongrong's birthday party.Luo Ning recognized one of the photos, the back view of two people entering the KTV, he could never have mistaken Xia Xingyan's figure, and the girl with long curly hair reaching her waist beside him was obviously Xie Rongrong.

He continued to scroll down, and saw a photo of a group of people celebrating Xie Rongrong's birthday, with a Weibo watermark in the corner, and it was Xie Rongrong himself who posted it on Weibo.Luo Ning still noticed Xia Xingyan sitting in the box with sharp eyes, and he swipe the screen with a blank face.

I also saw a Weibo screenshot of Xie Rongrong posting gifts.She revealed between the lines that she had received a very precious gift from a very special person.Also posted a brand-name diamond bracelet.

Luo Ning obviously tried very hard to tell herself not to think wildly.But because of his illness, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think clearly.

He still couldn't help thinking about it, couldn't help wondering if the special person Xie Rongrong was talking about was Xia Xingyan.He remembered the part-time job that Xia Xingyan had done before, and said that there was something he wanted to buy, maybe it was that bracelet.

After get off work, Xia Xingyan went to a nearby porridge shop to pack a piece of fish porridge and brought it back.As soon as he entered the room, he saw Luo Ning wearing thin pajamas, lying barefoot on the sofa, neither watching TV nor checking his mobile phone, with a pale face in a daze.

He frowned and said in a bad tone, "Why are you sitting here?"

Luo Ning's out-of-focus eyes slowly converged on his face, and some expressions gradually appeared on his originally blank face, including grievance, sadness, and unwillingness.

"Where did you go last night?" Luo Ning's voice was also hoarse, as if she had just finished crying.

Xia Xingyan was a little disgusted with his questioning tone, and even his own tone became colder: "The department has dinner."

"Really?" Luo Ning looked straight at him and said with a smile, "Isn't it just to celebrate Xie Rongrong's birthday?"

Xia Xingyan's face slowly turned cold, and he looked back at Luo Ning with his dark eyes, and said in an extremely cold tone, "No."

Luo Ning picked up the phone and held it in front of Xia Xingyan. Before she could speak, tears fell down her face.

"Then what is this? What is it that was photographed in this post?" Luo Ning's voice trembled, "You worked three shifts and worked part-time so hard, was it just to give her a birthday present? Bracelets. Are you..."

"Luo Ning," Xia Xingyan's thin lips curved down a little more, "Are you fucking sick?"

Luo Ning stared at him with rounded eyes, and unknown sadness welled up in those beautiful amber pupils.

Xia Xingyan suddenly reached out and took out a paper bag from the coffee table cabinet. The cabinet was so concealed that Luo Ning always thought the coffee table was sealed.

"I work part-time to buy this." Xia Xingyan paused, his tone a little helpless, "Because you said the ring is beautiful."

Luo Ning took the gift bag in a daze, tears streaming down her cheeks.

A pair of handsome men's rings in a red velvet case.

Beautiful indeed.

There is a small ticket randomly placed in the bag, with the price on it...and the date of purchase.

Luo Ning was stunned, staring blankly at the small ticket for a long time, then slowly raised her face to look at Xia Xingyan, and said sadly: "Have you bought it for so long and never thought of giving it to me?"
