Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 93 Remember
In a familiar home, the floor and coffee table were covered with a thin layer of dust. Ni Manhua called the hourly worker, then sat by the window, lowering his head and saying nothing.

This house is indeed not big, but it has good lighting. Every time Ni Manhua sits by the window, the sunlight slants on her feet, which seems to dispel all the haze in this room.
She still liked it here, so she probably felt reluctant when she left.

Ni Manhua has made a plan. Since she is going to Beijing, she will not live in this house again when she comes back. After the divorce, the house will be given to Lu Guanhai. In this way, he will not have too much pressure, and so will her mother. Come and live next to me.

Ni Manhua has to pack up her clothes and take them away. Other than that, everything here is well left behind. She actually lacks nothing. If she leaves more things that carry their memories, she will miss her even more when they go back to watch the sea. Bar.

Ni Manhua received a message on his phone. He opened it and saw that it was from Lai Hongtu.

Lai Hongtu heard about her departure and agreed that he would do the ideological work for Ni Manhua's parents.

Ni Manhua has reached this age, and there is actually not much ideological work to do. Her parents are old and they have their own lives. For Ni Manhua, as long as she can live happily and not regret her choice.

Ni Manhua sat by the window for almost the whole day, opening the door for the hourly worker and picking up takeaways.When Lu Guanhai was at work, if Ni Manhua was resting at home, she would usually order takeout. Finally, her mother decided that eating takeout often was not good for her health, so she asked her to hire a housekeeping aunt, but Ni Manhua really didn't want to live in such a small house. A stranger lives here.

Soon, she will become a stranger in this house.

Lu Guanhai came back at five o'clock in the afternoon. He bought vegetables, which were all Ni Manhua's favorites.

When Lu Guanhai was cooking in the kitchen, Ni Manhua stood in the living room and looked at him. He was wearing a pink apron, which Ni Manhua bought a few years ago. Originally, Ni Manhua wanted to learn it himself. She has cooking skills, but she is really busy at work and doesn't often do menial work. She was fussy at work and got injured several times. Later, Lu Guanhai wouldn't let her enter the kitchen.

Lu Guanhai put on this pink apron himself. Ni Manhua also took a photo of him and said that if Lu Guanhai made a mistake in the future, she could threaten him with such a funny photo and use it as his handle.

This apron was very old. Lu Guanhai had washed it many times and some of the patterns had turned white, but he still couldn't bear to throw it away.

Ni Manhua looked at his busy back, and tears suddenly filled his eyes again.

When Lu Guanhai brought out the dishes, Ni Manhua was already sitting at the dining table. Lu Guanhai took off his apron and put it on the chair, serving soup to Ni Manhua: "Why are you back so early today? Didn't you go to the group?"

"No need to go," Ni Manhua looked down at the table and whispered, "I'll go directly to Beijing on the weekend. The tickets have been bought."

Lu Guanhai paused as he filled the soup, but the expression on his face did not change much. He poured the soup and placed it in front of Ni Manhua. Just like she did every time she went on a business trip, he asked: "What time are the tickets? Do you want me to send you off?"

"No need, I'll just go by myself." Ni Manhua took a sip of the soup. The refreshing taste of the yam and the delicious aroma of the old duck mixed together to create a delicious taste. Ni Manhua also pretended to be normal, and she asked Guanhai: " We made an agreement in that time and space before... You remember, I thought about it today, I will leave the house to you and I will drive the car. If you have no objection, we will complete the divorce procedures in the next two days. "

Lu Guanhai finally stopped what he was doing. He looked at Ni Manhua helplessly. The sadness in his eyes made Ni Manhua's heart twitch.

Lu Guanhai looked at Ni Manhua for a while, then slowly said, "Do you need to be in such a hurry? I've been working overtime these days."

Ni Manhua was silent, she just wanted to end it all quickly so that she wouldn't regret it.

Lu Guanhai asked again: "After you go to Beijing, how long will it take for you to come back?"

"In half a year, I'll definitely come back during the Chinese New Year."

"Then how about we wait until you come back next time and we have more time to do it?"

Ni Manhua hesitated for a long time, then nodded.

Lu Guanhai seemed to be relieved. When he saw that Ni Manhua had finished the soup in her bowl, he took the initiative to pick up her bowl to fill the rice. He only gave her a lot of vegetables: "Try it, You won’t be able to eat the food I cook after you go to Beijing.”

Ni Manhua took a sip of the fish, but Lu Guanhai's cooking skills remained the same, and the taste hadn't changed at all.

After a while, Lu Guanhai's cell phone on the table rang. Ni Manhua looked at it backwards and could still recognize that it was Guan Fei's call.

Lu Guanhai picked up the phone and glanced at Ni Manhua. Without leaving, he sat there and answered the phone.

When talking on the phone, Lu Guanhai looked calm at first. He talked about something related to the hospital. But when he was about to hang up the phone, his expression suddenly changed. His eyes suddenly widened and he even laughed.

The food Ni Manhua was chewing suddenly lost its taste.

Then Lu Guanhai responded a few more times: "Leave it to me. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me."

After hanging up, Lu Guanhai said to Ni Manhua with a smile, "It was Guan Fei who called just now."

Ni Manhua responded perfunctorily: "Oh."

He seemed like a different person after talking to Guan Fei on the phone. Should she be happy?
Lu Guanhai continued: "Su Qingya's condition has stabilized, Su Guzhi will take her back to China tonight."

Only then did Ni Manhua stop what he was doing, raised his head and looked at him blankly.Guan Fei received the news first that Su Guzhi was back.

Are they going to change things again?Across the long time and distance, it turned out that they were really waiting.

Is this kind of waiting really meaningful?

Lu Guanhai brought more dishes to Ni Manhua: "Guan Fei is on vacation these days, so I have to cover a few shifts for her. You know, they haven't seen each other for several years."

Ni Manhua acquiesced, yes, they haven't seen each other for many years. As a friend, Lu Guanhai should help with this, and they obviously don't spend much time together, but because they are luckier than them, Need to give in for their love.

If such a thing had happened in the past, Ni Manhua would have been furious and vented his anger on Lu Guanhai at the top of his lungs.

But now that she is tired, Ni Manhua understands that Lu Guanhai is a good person and that he should do these things in his world, so he doesn't understand why Ni Manhua is angry.He thought that Ni Manhua always vented his anger for no reason.

Ni Manhua understands him now, she just feels sad for them.

Lu Guanhai seemed to notice Ni Manhua's emotional changes. Maybe he learned to sense her emotions after going back once and observing from a farther distance from her.Lu Guanhai asked: "Are you unhappy? I can ask other colleagues..."

"No, I'm leaving soon. I have nothing to be unhappy about. You can make your own decisions about your own life without asking me."

Ni Manhua cheered up. She didn't want Lu Guanhai to find out that she was unhappy, which would show how much she cared.

There was wine on the table, which was brought by Lai Hongtu last week. Ni Manhua opened it. Such a good wine should be given to her for practice.

Ni Manhua raised his glass to Lu Guanhai: "In the future... I wish you a better and better life, a smooth career, and more rest when you have time. There are so many books in the world that you can't read them all. When you are not at work, just let them go." Relax your brain, you're always stretching yourself too tight."

Lu Guanhai also raised his glass: "Okay, I will remember it. Don't wear high heels when you usually rest. In fact, you look better in flat shoes without makeup."

Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai. The smile on his lips looked warm under the light, and Ni Manhua also smiled.After all, they have been together for so many years. Ni Manhua hopes that they will have more warm moments left in each other's memories.
