Salted Lemon Seven

Luo Ning stood still, clenched his fingertips slightly, betraying the anxiety in his heart at the moment.

His gaze passed over the crowd around him, and then uncontrollably, his eyes fell on the woman beside Xia Xingyan.With a smile on her face, she held Xia Xingyan's arm affectionately.

Xie Rongrong still had that glamorous and tall look, with ambition and arrogance written in her eyes.

After many years, she stood in front of Luo Ning with the attitude of a victor, as if she was expecting someone to be defeated.

The moment Xia Xingyan's eyes crossed, Luo Ning turned his back without hesitation, and he walked forward. The lights in the banquet hall were warm white, and even the surrounding air suddenly became dull.

I don't know who was talking about Mr. Xia, Xie's family, and his fiancee, but they all gradually disappeared in the end.

Luo Ning seemed to see all the memories of the past turned into a speck of dust in the air.Dissipate in your own life along with those few words.

Without being sad or embarrassed, Luo Ning discovered for the first time that her heart could be so peaceful.There will be no pain or discomfort, only an endless blank space.

Luo Ning finally finished the glass of wine in his hand with a smile, put the empty glass on the corner of the table, and left the venue through the small door without looking back.

Until the fragile stomach began to colic slowly.

Luo Ning went straight to the bathroom and vomited up what she had just drank.He turned on the sink faucet and flushed cold water over his face.

Crystal drops of water slowly fell from the long curled eyelashes, his whole face was wet, only those amber eyes were dry and astringent.

He wiped his face indiscriminately until he was no longer so embarrassed in the mirror before turning around and going out.

Luo Ning walked out with his head down, and almost bumped into the person at the door. Without raising his head, he apologized and planned to go sideways, but he was stopped by the person.

"Luo Ning." Shen Qianyu greeted with a smile.

Luo Ning seemed very surprised to see him here, she looked up for a moment in a daze, but soon returned her greeting calmly.Too simple a response, even unable to detect whether his mood is good or bad.

"I thought you would ask me why I'm here." Shen Qianyu didn't mind his indifference, but she rounded up her words in a considerate manner.

"There's always your reason, I don't need to ask." Luo Ning lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

Shen Qianyu seemed to see that he was not in a good mood, and it was not good for the two of them to have been standing at the door of the toilet chatting.

"The organizer of this charity gala is an acquaintance. I didn't dare to confirm when I saw you inside just now." Shen Qianyu took a few steps forward, as if planning to return to the banquet hall, "Actually, I have been back to China for a while, but I've been busy, so I haven't had time to tell you."

Since Luo Ning's condition gradually improved, he rarely went to the hospital for follow-up visits. Taking too much of those medicines would do great harm to his body, and he had stopped for a long time.And because of some reasons, she deliberately avoided Shen Qianyu, so naturally she didn't know about his recent situation.

Luo Ning looked up at Shen Qianyu slightly, and said in a low voice, "Then you go back inside, I... I'm going home."

Shen Qianyu was slightly surprised: "You're going back before the party starts?"

"Yeah." Luo Ning replied vaguely, "I have something at home."

Luo Ning took out her mobile phone and planned to call Uncle Wang to ask him to pick her up. She originally planned to go back after the party was over, so she didn't ask Uncle Wang to wait around here.

Shen Qianyu suddenly said: "I came by car, I'll take you back."

Luo Ning's hands paused, and she was about to blurt out the sentence that she didn't need.But as soon as he looked up, he saw Xia Xingyan in a suit and leather shoes in the distance, as if he was about to come this way.

Luo Ning suddenly pulled Shen Qianyu's arm, but her tone was light: "Let's go."

Shen Qianyu was dragged away by Luo Ning before she could react, and she belatedly replied "Okay".

Luo Ning sat in the co-pilot's seat, wearing her seat belt obediently.

Shen Qianyu glanced at him thoughtfully, but soon began to concentrate on driving again.

"Did something happen to you?" After a while, Shen Qianyu still chose to ask, "When I saw you inside, you didn't look quite right."

Luo Ning had taken off her suit jacket and was casually holding it in her arms, revealing the white and clean shirt inside.He still had no expression on his face, and he just smiled slightly when he heard what Shen Qianyu said.

"Is something wrong?" Luo Ning suddenly raised her eyes to look at the passing scenery outside the window, her voice seemed to float in the air, "Maybe it's because I drank the bar and felt a little nauseous."

"That's it."

There was another long silence, with an inexplicably awkward atmosphere.

Until Shen Qianyu sent Luo Ning to the door of the house, when Luo Ning took off his seat belt, he suddenly said: "Is it because of Xia Xingyan, you saw him just now, right?"

Luo Ning's movements paused for a moment, but she quickly recovered her gentle expression, and said in a flat tone, "No."

"Maybe you don't remember it yourself. When I saved you that time, you hugged me and shouted Xia Xingyan's name." Shen Qianyu lowered her eyes subconsciously, "But I just found out about him and Rongrong..."

"His matter has nothing to do with me, I don't want to know. I'm not interested in knowing about your cousin." Luo Ning quickly unbuckled her seat belt and opened the car door, "Thank you for taking me back."

Luo Ning closed the car door and walked in, but Shen Qianyu unexpectedly chased her out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry just now." His voice was full of apology, and he expressed his apology politely, "Luo Ning, don't be angry with me, please."

"I'm not angry with you." Luo Ning suddenly stood still, turned around and looked directly at Shen Qianyu, but thanked him again.

"Why do you always have to be so polite to me?" Shen Qianyu looked at the pair of amber light almond eyes, and slowly fell on Luo Ning's pink and waxy lips, and her tone was a little helpless, " Isn't it okay to exceed the boundaries of friends? Why do you have to draw the boundaries so clearly?"

Luo Ning grabbed her coat, her eyes suddenly became a little confused.

"I don't understand what's wrong with this." His thoughts seemed to have drifted far away, and even the folds and curves of his double eyelids were clear and beautiful at night, "Can't you make it clear? You shouldn’t be dragging your feet. Do you think it’s okay if I have to be ambiguous to you?”

"I don't understand you." Luo Ning suddenly looked into Shen Qianyu's eyes again, with an innocent and bewildered expression, "You are so strange."

"Probably because I'm really a weirdo, I prefer vague ambiguity to complete hopelessness." Shen Qianyu suddenly laughed at herself, and said slowly, "If you really forget him, you really don't care about him Why haven't you tried to go out all these years?"

"I..." Luo Ning paused, but couldn't finish speaking.

"I'm sorry." Luo Ning pursed her lower lip, but finally stopped looking at him and turned to go home.

Luo Ning slowly shrunk herself into a ball and nestled under the quilt.He felt that his heart was very empty, but it was not uncomfortable.

He just thought it was ridiculous how dazed he had been.It's so ridiculous that you have to use drugs to control your emotions, try to escape everything, shrink yourself in a small shell, and act like a fool.

Shen Qianyu said that she has not come out, but she is not completely right.After the initial nasty emotions slowly faded away, he kept trying to get out.

It wasn't until just now that he was finally convinced that he was not as fragile and restless as others thought.

He no longer needs drugs, no one-on-one therapy, and he can completely control his heart.The only thing he can't let go of is his expectation of love, and he can never return to the original point.

The author has something to say: -----------------

Ruan Jia's wedding didn't happen so soon, and it will take a long time after careful calculation.Luo Ning also went to the signed magazine.In the past two years, it seems that the paper media has not been easy to mix. The platform where he signs comics is mainly the Internet. Popularity leads to sales, which seems to be the case for everyone.

Originally, the magazine wanted to make some gimmicks such as beautiful boy cartoonists, but Luo Ning rejected it because it was too stupid and too secondary.Moreover, Luo Ning is not used to not wearing a mask if the signing event is held in a place with a lot of people.

He didn't manage much on Weibo, except for comic updates and pictures of fish balls.Sometimes lazy cancer breaks out, and I haven’t sent a message for a long time. Half of the comments below call for updates and half call for dogs.

After returning to China, the pace slowed down suddenly, Luo Ning took a lot of silly and cute photos of fish balls and posted them, as if they updated the amount for a week at a time.

Later, Shen Qianyu asked him to go to the indoor ski resort, Luo Ning hesitated for a while, but agreed to go.

Although the artificial snow is not as good as the real goose feather snow, the pure white and cold air are enough to make people feel immersive.The snow machine is tirelessly laying snow on the slopes of the ski resort, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is a bit unexpected.

Luo Ning changed into her ski clothes and staggered onto the ski resort.He is still just a beginner, and it would be good to stay in the novice area obediently, but Shen Qianyu is willing to take him to skate slowly.

The feeling of falling into the artificial snow countless times is indeed indescribable, but Luo Ning is indeed relaxing.It was as if all the gloom that was blocked in my heart had been released.

After coming out of the ski resort, they stopped by the amusement park next to them, had dinner together, and explained everything they needed to say.

Although Shen Qianyu had a premonition, when he heard Luo Ning's refusal with his own ears, he felt lost for a while.Perhaps for Luo Ning, being pestered by someone he doesn't like to get some sweets is the bigger problem.

Shen Qianyu accepted the result with a smile, raised the cup in his hand, and expressed the gentlemanly hope that the two of them could still be friends in the future.

Luo Ning smiled politely, and said softly, "We are friends from the beginning."
