The distance from the provincial capital to our home is not far. Counting the stopover time, we arrived in about half an hour.

The warm and comfortable environment in the carriage made me feel a little tired unconsciously, my eyelids drooped heavily, and my mind was buzzing.If it weren't for the increasingly noticeable weight on my shoulders, I'd probably just fall asleep too.

Her sleeping appearance seems to be not as honest as when she was a child, her head gently arched twice on my shoulders, as if she was really sleeping on a soft pillow, a bit childish.

I looked at her with my head tilted slightly downward. Her hair was hanging down due to the force of gravity, revealing her pointed ears and porcelain white neck. The lines were very slender. One could imagine how skinny her body was.

The car was about to arrive at the stop, and she showed no sign of waking up. I was afraid that I would not get out of the car in time, so I quickly patted her arm to wake her up.

Ning Ran obviously hasn't come back to his senses, he shook his head with a dazed expression, reached out and rubbed his face twice, then raised his head to ask me with red eyes: "Huh? Are you at the station?" Realize that something is wrong with your posture.

When she asked the question, the speed of the car had slowly slowed down, and as the voice fell, the car also stopped firmly at the station.

I nodded, picked up the scarf casually, shook it twice, and folded it twice around my neck.

It wasn't until I got out of the carriage and stepped on the platform that I realized how cold the weather outside was. The cold wind from shaving my face kept passing by, which made me wrap my coat tightly around my body, and my neck was completely retracted into the scarf.

When I was still on the platform, my mother called and said that she and my father were waiting for us 200 meters to the right of the station.

According to my mother, it should be to take Ning Ran with me by the way, and I just don't bother to ask her how she plans to go back.

My mother can really bear it even when she is old. She still stood by the car door and waved to us in such a strong wind. We saw her from a long distance, and unconsciously quickened her pace.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get in, the wind is blowing outside, it's too cold." Mom opened the rear door, drove us in, then turned around and got into the passenger seat, rubbing her hands and shaking.

Ning Ran greeted her parents in an affectionate and polite tone as in the past. With the light in the car, I could still see their parents' eyes bent into arcs with a smile, but I couldn't. As before, he slandered in his heart, but he felt a little relieved.She just has this ability to make others think she is good.

After the car started and drove a few hundred meters, my mother suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked my father to release the gas pedal, preparing to turn at the next intersection and send Ning Ran back first.

"No need, auntie, I told my parents that I will go back to the old house tonight, so as not to make my uncle take such a long detour at night." Ning Ran leaned forward after hearing what her mother said, before her father turned the steering wheel stopped him before.

"That's fine, we'll just drive back." Mom didn't hesitate, and directed Dad to continue driving home, then turned around and patted the back of Ning Ran's hand, "Haven't you guys eaten anything tonight? Are you hungry? Wait." When I go back, I will go to our house to fill my stomach first. There is hot chicken soup in my pot. It is stewed early in the morning. It is very fragrant. Drink it to ensure that you will have a good dream at night."

"It's been a long time since I ate the meal made by auntie. Just thinking about it makes me so hungry." Ning Ran raised her face and smiled very cutely, and rubbed her belly cooperatively as she spoke.

"Then you can eat more later."

I leaned against the car window and curled up into a ball, looking at this harmonious and warm scene, I felt a little laughing in my heart, it felt like watching a play.

My mother never heard my voice, as if she just discovered me, she glanced towards me and muttered in a low voice without knowing why: "What's the matter? When did our family raise a boring gourd?"

Ning Ran followed her mother's gaze, and even her father looked back from the rearview mirror.The eyes of the three of them fell on me at the same time, which made me a little uncomfortable, so I immediately sat up straight, twisted left and right twice, pretending to be calm and said that I had no problem.

Parents were easily fooled, but Ning Ran's eyes kept drifting over, with a sense of searching.

I ignored it, and when I got home to the dinner table, I ate my food on my own, avoiding meeting Ning Ran's eyes.

Mom seemed to be busy with things. After serving us the food, she dragged Dad into my bedroom. After a while, she came out with a heavy quilt and put it on the sofa, and greeted Ning Ran. , "When you moved, you almost took away all these household items. Now that the weather is so cold, the temperature will be even lower at night, so you should cover it thicker. When you go upstairs, you put the quilt on the bed. Take it with you, and remember to cover it when you sleep at night."

Before Ning Ran had time to say anything, my mother called my name again, "Shu Yu, eat quickly, and accompany Ning Ran up after eating, and help her cover the quilt. See if there are other things to help with." No one has lived upstairs for so long, I’m afraid it needs to be cleaned up.”

I was holding a bowl of soup, when I heard my mother's words suddenly, my heart tightened and I choked, coughing so hard that I couldn't breathe.

Mom, do you know that you are pushing your daughter into the pit?

I managed to catch my breath, and hid behind the soup bowl, I quietly raised my eyes to look at Ning Ran, and found that she was also holding a bowl of soup, and she was blowing gently into the soup, with an imperceptible smile hanging from the corner of her mouth .Looking at it from my point of view, it feels very proud.It can't help but make me feel a little depressed.

After the meal, my mother originally wanted to stay with Ning Ran for a while, probably thinking that it would be too deserted for her to go upstairs alone.However, Ning Ran made an excuse that he had to go back to clean up, and was ready to leave after a short stay.

When she got up like this, my mother quickly slapped me on the back.

"What are you still doing, stop watching TV, go, go up and help Ning Ran clean up the house."

Ning Ran didn't intend to refuse at all, she and her mother looked at me together.

I pursed my mouth while I was lowering my head, bent down, hugged the quilt on the sofa with all my strength, and followed Ning Ran upstairs.

I haven't been up those few stairs since her house moved out.I always thought that this house was sold, but it turned out that it has been kept for so many years, and she still comes to live here occasionally.

The sensor light in the corridor has been dim for ten years, and sometimes it takes several feet on the ground to respond.

Ning Ran took out the key and opened the door, let me in, and then turned on the light in the living room.

"I'm still used to living here." She suddenly whispered when she walked into the living room, she didn't know whether it was on purpose or not.I looked at her sideways, just blinked my eyes twice quickly, and didn't answer.

In fact, there is no furniture in the house, except for a chandelier on the top, there is not even a stool left, it looks empty and has no atmosphere.I looked around, my eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.How can I live here?

Ning Ran didn't seem to care at all, and led me to the door of the bedroom, pointing to the inside of the room, "Just throw the quilt core on the bed, there is no other place to put it."

I stretched my head and saw that the bed she used to sleep in was still in the room, and the top was covered with cloth to prevent dust from falling.Except for a bed, there is only a wardrobe left that can be used.I have even more doubts in my heart. How did she live here?Why bother.

Ning Ran walked over first, tore off the cloth covering it, folded it up and put it away, then turned around and opened the small closet in the corner, took out a set of bedding, threw it on the bed, and pouted at me.

"Okay, let it go."

As soon as she turned around and went to the living room to boil hot water, I shook off the sheets that had been folded into small squares and spread them for her.

Although the bed is not big, laying the sheets requires a lot of skill, otherwise it is easy to make it look like a kennel.

When I made the bed perfectly and propped up my back to stand up straight for a rest, I suddenly found that Ning Ran was leaning on the bedroom door and looking at me, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly She raised her eyebrows upwards, and her eyebrows and eyes were very soft, but for some reason, she always felt as if she could cry at any time.She was not like this when there were other people beside her.

I was a little at a loss by her look, I slightly raised my eyebrows and looked at her questioningly.

Ning Ran may have felt that he had lost his composure, so he made a standard smirk, then shook his head, and said lightly, "It's okay, I'm just happy."

My eyelids twitched involuntarily, and I quickly looked away, clutching a corner of the quilt that was still folded together, trying to calm myself down, not to be carried away by her emotions.

After Ning Ran said that, he didn't worry about anything else, and came over and put on the quilt with me.

"Is there nothing else to do? Then I'll go down first." I clapped my hands, my eyes wandered around, and my feet began to slowly move towards the door.Being alone in the same space with Ning Ran always makes me feel uncomfortable.

Ning Ran didn't speak for a while, the room became quiet, the air was frozen, which made me even more nervous.

"Are you in a hurry to go back?" She finally spoke out.

I nodded quickly, walked to the living room in two or three steps, opened the anti-theft door, and turned my back to avoid her sight.Ning Ran didn't say anything to stop me, she seemed to sigh in a low voice, then followed me to the door, staring at my back all the time.

"It's been a long day, you should go to bed early." I still couldn't bear to leave like this, and before going down the stairs, I gave another warning, and she stood behind me, humming softly, sounding happy and disappointed .

Can't stay any longer.I picked my palms and took a step, and went downstairs without a break. When I reached the corner of the stairs, I still felt a line of sight sticking to my back.

It wasn't until I called my mother to open the door for me that I heard the sound of the door closing upstairs.
