Not long after Xie Xinghe returned to the apartment, he started to have a fever. He got out of bed in a daze to look for medicine, took the medicine, and lay back on the bed again.

Xie Xinghe soon became sleepy after taking the medicine, but he didn't sleep soundly. What appeared in his mind were fragments of his life living together with Zhou Luoluo, but he struggled to wake up and opened his eyes to face a silent room , There is a huge gap between reality and dream, this gap makes him feel strong feelings, and makes him miss Zhou Luoluo even more.

He habitually reached out to touch the ring on his ring finger, and when he touched the ring, he suddenly remembered that he had returned Zhou Luoluo's ring to the other party, and then began to think wildly, what would Zhou Luoluo do with that ring, Throw it in the trash, or forget it in the bottom drawer?

No one thought that Xie Xinghe would be so precious to the ring that Zhou Luoluo gave back at the beginning.

When he woke up the next day, Xie Xinghe's fever had subsided. He looked down at his ring finger, but he still felt a little empty.

After thinking for a while, Xie Xinghe washed and changed into clean clothes and went to work as usual, but his face was really ugly, which caused his colleagues to cast caring glances.

"Brother Xie, are you okay?" A female colleague asked proactively.

Xie Xinghe looked up from his work, a little dazed: "What's wrong?"

The female colleague nodded in response, her expression a little more embarrassed: "I see that your complexion is not very good, I thought you were sick." As she spoke, she turned half of her body sideways, revealing the colleague behind her.

"Sorry, I'm okay, I made you worry." Xie Xinghe smiled apologetically, and after his colleague returned to work, he stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and let out a deep breath.

Although he didn't have a fever when he woke up in the morning, he was still groggy and unable to lift his spirits. Xie Xinghe pressed his temples and got up to make a cup of coffee.

After returning from the tea room, Xie Xinghe saw those colleagues gathered together and chatting about something.

"What are you talking about?" Xie Xinghe stepped forward and asked.

The female colleague who came up to care just now said, "I'm looking at Xiao Chen's new tattoo."

Xie Xinghe raised his eyes and saw the pattern on Xiao Chen's arm: "Not bad."

Xiao Chen laughed twice, nodded and said, "I've been designing this pattern for a long time, and it has a very special meaning to me."

Hearing these words, Xie Xinghe's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to caress his ring finger unconsciously. He sat back on his seat, looked down at the ring from time to time, thoughtfully.

After a while, Xie Xinghe took off the ring, and the marks on the ring inevitably reminded him of Zhou Luoluo's empty ring finger, and he felt restless.

After work, he ran into Xiao Chen who was doing finishing work. Xie Xinghe paused, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Xiao Chen, can you recommend me a tattoo shop?"

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and responded with a smile: "Shall I send you their store's WeChat business card?"

Xie Xinghe nodded: "Thank you."

After sending out a friend request, the tattoo shop quickly approved it. Xie Xinghe clicked on the other party's circle of friends and saw a lot of unique tattoo designs.

He clicked on the dialogue window: "Hi, I want to design a tattoo."

The tattoo shop quickly responded and asked Xie Xinghe a lot of questions. After discussing for a while, the two finally decided to meet this weekend and discuss in detail in the shop.

After chatting, Xie Xinghe put down his phone and let out a long sigh of relief. He took off the ring again and stared intently at the empty place.

Soon after the weekend, Xie Xinghe drove to the tattoo parlor. As soon as he entered, a man with a ponytail came up to him. The other party greeted him with a smile: "Hello, you are Mr. Xie, right?"

Xie Xinghe nodded: "Hello, I have contacted you on WeChat."

The man brought him into the shop, and the two of them went straight to the theme and started to design patterns. The tattoo Xie Xinghe envisioned was not that big, and the design work was not that complicated. Soon, the two of them prepared Xie Xinghe's pattern.

"Are you sure you want to get the tattoo on your ring finger?" the tattoo artist repeatedly confirmed to him.

Xie Xinghe looked indifferent, and he didn't hesitate to answer the question: "Yes."

He asked, "Can I get a tattoo today?"

The tattooist nods.

Seeing this, Xie Xinghe took off the ring and put it away carefully. The tattoo artist smiled: "Compared to the relationship between you and your lover."

Hearing this, Xie Xinghe forced a smile with the corners of his mouth pulled, and didn't continue talking.

The tattoo artist made preparations and soon began to tattoo Xie Xinghe.

Xie Xinghe looked down at the blueprint. He designed Zhou Luoluo's name into a curlicue pattern, and drew a diamond similar to the inside of the ring from his memory. Gradually, he felt a tingling sensation on his finger, and the pattern was gradually engraved on his ring finger.

Because the pattern was small, the tattoo was completed very quickly. Looking at the pattern on his ring finger, Xie Xinghe felt a little relieved. Finally, he was no longer as empty and anxious as he was a few days ago.

The tattoo artist said precautions: "Remember to apply anti-inflammatory ointment, don't drink alcohol, and don't scratch after scabs form."

Xie Xinghe nodded: "Understood."

After leaving the tattoo shop, Xie Xinghe received a call from Wang Lekang before he went far.

"Xinghe, come out for dinner? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xie Xinghe knew that he had broken the relationship between Li Bo and Zhou Lai, and after apologizing, he took the initiative to reduce their contacts, and the five of them never got together to see each other again.

Xie Xinghe asked: "What did Li Bo say?"

"He wants to see me?"

Wang Lekang: "What are you talking about?"

"It's about Zhou Lai." Xie Xinghe said, "It was so tense at that time."

Wang Lekang was a little surprised: "He broke up with Zhou Lai before, don't you know?"

Xie Xinghe was silent for a while: "I don't know."

"Then you guys can take this opportunity to have a good talk tonight." Wang Lekang smiled: "If it doesn't work, I'll apologize with wine."

"I can't drink yet."

Wang Lekang asked: "What are you doing?"

"Tattoo."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lekang became curious and clamored to see the picture, but Xie Xinghe just said indifferently: "You can see it tonight."

Passing by the dessert shop, Xie Xinghe stepped on the brakes and hung up the phone: "Stop talking, I'm driving."

Stopping at the side of the road, Xie Xinghe got off the car and went straight to the cake shop.

This is a dessert shop that he used to come to when he was in love with Zhou Luoluo. Zhou Luoluo liked to eat the souffle here, but Zhou Luoluo couldn't speak, and every time he asked Xie Xinghe to order.

After going back and forth, he and Zhou Luoluo became familiar faces.

But it was precisely because Zhou Luoluo was different that everyone in the dessert shop remembered them. Seeing Xie Xinghe now, the clerk took the initiative to say hello: "Long time no see, sir."

"Long time no see." Xie Xinghe was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to remember me."

The clerk smiled: "Not only do I remember you, I also remember another gentleman." After speaking, he looked behind Xie Xinghe: "You often come together."

The speaker was unintentional, but it sounded harsh to Xie Xinghe, as if he was comparing the desolate and lonely him with the sweetness of the past, and as if he was emphasizing the fact that he had broken up with Zhou Luoluo, but no matter what he was thinking Any point made Xie Xinghe feel a dull pain in his heart.

Xie Xinghe didn't speak any more, turned around and left after taking the dessert, his back looked like he was running away.

Sitting back in the car, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and drove straight to the downstairs of Zhou Luoluo's rental house.

Standing downstairs, Xie Xinghe took a few deep breaths, then walked into the unit building with the dessert.

He couldn't listen to Zhou Luoluo's words, couldn't let go, let alone let Zhou Luoluo drift away from him, and finally became a stranger.

Xie Xinghe seized the opportunity of entanglement, took advantage of Zhou Luoluo's preference, and knocked on Zhou Luoluo's house.

During the few seconds of waiting for a response, Xie Xinghe's heart was beating like thunder, and his breathing gradually slowed down due to nervousness, for fear of disturbing the people in the room.

Soon, there was movement in the room, and Zhou Luoluo opened the door.

The two looked at each other, Xie Xinghe held his breath and forgot to move for a moment.

The first person to react was Zhou Luoluo, who opened his eyes wide, trying to close the door again.

Xie Xinghe came back to his senses at this moment, and when he saw this, he quickly reached out his hand to stop Zhou Luoluo's movements.

Then, there was a low, muffled sound in the corridor.

"Let go!" Zhou Luoluo said.

Xie Xinghe resisted the severe pain from his hands, and even his voice trembled unconsciously: "Luoluo, you open the door first."

Zhou Luoluo stopped her movements, looked at Xie Xinghe's hand stuck in the crack of the door, gritted her teeth, and let go of her hands.

He looked at Xie Xinghe warily: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Xinghe reluctantly mentioned desserts: "I packed some desserts..."

"I don't need it, take it away." Zhou Luoluo glanced at it and quickly looked away.

Xie Xinghe's face turned pale: "Luoluo, take it."

Zhou Luoluo was unmoved.

Xie Xinghe coaxed in a low voice: "I passed by that store and bought some. These are all your favorites. You can take them." He said, regardless of the fact that the desserts are easily deformed, he put the bag into the crack of the door stuffed.

Zhou Luoluo didn't want to see those delicate desserts being messed up, he didn't want to see the food being ruined, so he quickly let go of his hands and opened the door.

Seeing this, Xie Xinghe quickly put the bag into Zhou Luoluo's arms. He covered his hands and smiled: "I knew you would soften your heart."

Hearing this, Zhou Luoluo felt angry, but before he could get angry, he heard Xie Xinghe's voice again.

"Then I'll leave first, don't bother me, I won't pester you." After speaking, Xie Xinghe turned and left.

Zhou Luoluo looked at Xie Xinghe's back, moved his eyes down, and saw Xie Xinghe's hand hanging by his trouser leg.

Seeing that one of Xie Xinghe's palms was red and the other was wrapped in something, Zhou Luoluo frowned, but said nothing in the end.

He closed the door, looked down at the dessert in his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know why..." But in the end he was not willing to throw the thing away.
