Hi, it's Mr. Lin!

After sitting on the bed for a long time, Tang Guo finally felt a little sleepy.In order to have enough energy to devote to work after dawn, she lay down again while the iron was hot and closed her eyes to drive out the messy thoughts in her mind. With unremitting efforts, she finally gradually fell into a dream.

"Guoguo, my child."

Tang Guo, who was sleeping, heard a familiar voice, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a fog.

"Guoguo, my child."

The voice came again, and Tang Guo, who was in shock, tentatively searched for the source of the voice.After walking for an unknown amount of time, she saw a vague figure in front of her, who looked exactly like her mother who had just passed away in terms of stature.

"Guoguo, my child."

Tang Guo's tears welled up all of a sudden, and she ran excitedly to where the figure was.

"mom!"

In the sound of shouting for each other, the distance between the two is getting closer.When Tang Guo ran to a distance where she could clearly see the face of the person opposite, she stopped and stood where she was, with mixed joy and sadness in her heart.

Tang Guo looked at the opposite mother obsessively, as in the past with loving eyes that were never mixed with other things.The mother and daughter looked at each other for a long time, and finally Tang Guo couldn't help but throw herself into the arms of her dreaming mother.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I miss you so much."

Tang Guo in the dream knew clearly that this was just an illusion, and when she woke up, the mother in front of her would disappear.But she has no choice, because the emptiness in her heart caused by her mother's sudden death can only be filled a little bit at this time.

"Son, you've lost weight."

The loving touch made Tang Guo feel even more sad, and the tears flowed more violently.

"My Guoguo is already an adult, she will definitely take care of herself in the future, right?"

Tang Guo, who was crying, couldn't speak, so he could only nod vigorously.

"Mom will no longer be able to shelter my Guoguo from the wind and rain. It's a pity that I couldn't hand you over to someone who loves you. But my mother will bless you in the sky and let my Guoguo live in the future." Safe and sound, no disease and no disaster."

Tang Guo's mother in the dream said a lot, and every word was her reluctance to her daughter.With great difficulty to stop the tears, Tang Guo choked up and wanted to say more to her mother. At this moment, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her eyes, and the mother who was caressing her just now disappeared without a trace.

"Mommy mommy!"

At a loss, he stood up and shouted to the empty space around him, no matter how hoarse Tang Guo was, the familiar figure never appeared again.

"mom!"

Tang Guo was sweating profusely and sat up from the bed in shock. The sunlight outside the room had already filled the barren yellow land.After being out of focus for a while, Tang Guo packed herself and the bed, opened the door and went out.The glare of the sun made her finally realize that it was just a dream, but a false scene imagined by herself.

"Tang Guo, are you uncomfortable?"

The lesbian who lived next door to Tang Guo came out and saw her uneasy expression. Wang Xiao, who came back from the outside, heard this and walked over quickly with a nervous expression.

"Sister Guoguo, what's wrong with you? How about I send you to the county for an examination?"

Tang Guo's heartfelt care made Tang Guo feel much better. He raised a smile and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Seeing Tang Guo's bright and dazzling smile, Wang Xiao was touched in his heart, and the scene of last night resurfaced in his mind again, and he mumbled, "It's fine, it's fine."

For the next period of time, Tang Guo has been busy with the construction of drinking water in the village and the work of getting the villagers to give up planting this summer, but temporarily put aside the pain of losing her mother.And Wang Xiao avoided Tang Guo everywhere after that day, and when he couldn't avoid it, he tried to keep a distance that would not be misunderstood.His performance made Uncle Zhang shake his head, this boy is afraid that he will have to wait until the end of time to pursue his girl.

Since returning from camping last time, Chen Xiaonian's attitude towards Lin Qi has always been lukewarm, but Lin Qi loves her as always.

"Teacher, is this stone the bloodstone we are talking about?"

After searching the literature for a few days, Chen Xiaonian can basically confirm that this is a chicken blood stone with extremely high purity.In order to verify her conjecture, she made a video call with a teacher who teaches jewelry appraisal at the university.

"Xiao Nian, where did you get it? Such a high-purity natural bloodstone is very rare."

Chen Xiaonian's teacher became excited after observing carefully in the video, and there was no trace of artificial synthesis in the whole bloodstone.Although it is only the size of an adult's palm, its cleanliness means a good price.

"I found this in an artificial lake when I went camping. Although the lake has existed for a long time, I am still very puzzled about it appearing there. And I also searched near it, and there is no Other similar stones appeared, as if"

Chen Xiaonian hesitated for a moment: "It seems that someone put it there on purpose."

In fact, it’s no wonder she was so confused. This artificial lake was dug out of a surface spring that already existed. Out of the ground.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Chen Xiaonian's teacher focused only on the bloodstone. The perfect shape does not need to be cut and polished again, as long as it is matched with a matching base and placed on the table, it will form a landscape of its own.Especially the touch of chicken oil yellow on the top, which blends perfectly with the bright red.

"do not know."

Lying on the table and looking at this stone, the warm feel of the tentacles makes one want to shrink it down and play with it.But according to the teacher, it is more valuable to keep this kind of stone intact as much as possible.

After finishing the conversation, Chen Xiaonian put away the bloodstone and went downstairs.The servants were cleaning once a week, and the usually deserted villa was very lively at this time.

"lady!"

Seeing Chen Xiaonian coming down, everyone stopped what they were doing and bowed down to greet her.

"Madam, what service do you need?"

The housekeeper who directed everyone to work walked up to Chen Xiaonian and asked her what she wanted. The smiling expression that remained unchanged for thousands of years made people feel a little bored.

"Help me a cup of milk, prepare some snacks and send them to the wisteria trellis in the back garden."

Chen Xiaonian wore a white silk knee-length dress and strolled along the vibrant back garden path. The carefully managed plants did not lose their spirits due to the sweltering weather.There are English-style wrought iron tables and stools under the round flower stands. The purple flower spikes hanging from above and the clean white tables and chairs below complement each other to form a seductive scenery.

The dense flower spikes block the glare of the sun, and only sporadic spots of light cast shadows.The servant quickly brought over what Chen Xiaonian asked for, and when she saw that she was resting her chin in a daze, she put the tray on the table and quietly retreated.The milky white milk is very holy when served in a glass. The lotus root flour osmanthus cake and the mille-feuille horseshoe cake are specially made according to her oriental taste.Both pastries are placed in a bone china plate with oriental characteristics, and the amount of four or five pieces is exquisite.

"Ugh!"

Sighing, he casually picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, his listless appearance was simply killing time.

It was already evening when the cakes were finished, and when I returned to the villa, I found that the silence of the past had returned, but there was a little more aromatherapy smell in the air.

"Hasn't sir come back yet?"

Frowning, he casually asked the servant standing beside him.

"Yes madam, sir, he has told you that he will be busy in the near future, so let us serve you well, madam."

Chen Xiaonian fell into the sofa, thinking when was the last time she saw Lin Qi.

"Lin Qi, let's calm down with each other for a while. Before you think it through, I think it's better for us to minimize our contact."

This is what I said that day after I came back from camping. At that time, I didn't consider the other person's feelings at all when I said it because I was too angry.I thought that Lin Qi would be begging for forgiveness in front of him like before, but he didn't go back to the master bedroom to rest that night.There was no sign of him the next morning, so I asked the servant that he had gone to the company early.It was the same for the next week, no matter how early or late I got up, I didn't see him.

"Heh~~~"

Sighing again, Chen Xiaonian felt that she would become an old lady because of sighing.That's all, this is the best way for the two of them to get along now.Maybe when he really figured out the crux of the problem, she and he might return to their childhood sweethearts and relax.

In Lin's branch office, Lin Qi kneaded his temples that were swollen and sore from not having enough sleep for several days.He felt more and more like a mental patient, as long as there was a slight possibility that Nian Nian would disappear from his side, he would not be able to control his actions that would hurt her.Thinking that in the past few days, I can only sneak into the master bedroom to see her while she is sleeping soundly, and I can't touch her as freely as before, and my heart throbs.

Damn it, where did this inexplicable illness come from, and why did that sentence appear!

Irritability made Lin Qi scratch the glass fish tank on the table to the ground, and the broken pieces of glass glistened in the sunlight along with the water.Losing the protection of the water it depended on for survival, the tiny goldfish was thrashing and struggling on the floor, and the slight popping sound gave Lin Qi a crazy idea.

Lin Qi didn't realize what he had done until he felt a thin pain in his wrist. Looking at the thin red line on his wrist, he felt a kind of comfort swaying in his heart.The shards of glass fell to the floor again and broken flowers bloomed, covering the wounded man on his wrist and coming in to clean it.

As the night fell as expected, Lin Qi left the company only after receiving the news from his servant that his wife had already rested.After standing on the stairs for nearly half an hour, he finally lifted his feet and walked upstairs, and walked into the master bedroom as usual to see his thoughts.

"Why does this girl always like to bury her head in the quilt, isn't she afraid of lack of oxygen?"

He gently walked over to sit down, and carefully opened the door, only to find that it was not Chen Xiaonian, but a life-sized doll he bought for her.Subconsciously looked at the door, and sure enough, she saw Chen Xiaonian leaning against the door in neat clothes, she didn't look like she was going to sleep at all.

Chen Xiaonian's eyes were dim, and Lin Qi couldn't understand the meaning inside.

"recently, I am busy?"

It was Chen Xiaonian who spoke first.

"Recently, the prices of oil and precious metals in the world have soared abnormally, and the related industries under Lin's company have been greatly affected by this, so they have been busy recently."

What Lin Qi said was true, so his gaze towards Chen Xiaonian was not erratic.Chen Xiaonian's expression couldn't tell whether she believed it or not, she just climbed onto the bed and lay down.

"Then you don't have to go out so early and come back late every day, and you don't have to sleep in another room so as not to affect me."

After finishing speaking, she turned her back to Lin Qi, after all, she couldn't bear to make him sad for so long.

"Near me, I."

Chen Xiaonian didn't want to hear his repeated apologies, "I'm sleepy, hurry up and wash up and come and rest."

The tone was indifferent, and no emotion could be heard in it. Lin Qi's brows and eyes were covered with a layer of sadness.Silently got up and went to the bathroom, Chen Xiaonian felt the movement behind her and turned around, she could feel her sadness without words.

After washing up, Lin Qi stood by the bed hesitantly for a moment, then lifted the quilt and lay down, but he didn't want to hold the person who was close to him in his arms like before, and the two didn't even have the slightest physical contact.Tears fell from the corners of Chen Xiaonian's eyes, and she took the initiative to approach the man behind her, obviously feeling that the man was shrinking back.

"Go to sleep and turn off the lamp."

In the darkness, Chen Xiaonian's breathing gradually became steady.Lin Qi put his hand on her waist and gently rubbed the corner of her clothes, his very small voice was full of bitterness.

"Nian Nian, what should I do?"
