Chapter 34 Welcome Back
"I assume you are trying to comfort me."

Duan Xiaowu raised his head slightly and looked at Chang Rong: "But when you say this, I'm not happy at all."

"As the president of the Duan family, if the group can continue to operate as usual without me, doesn't it mean that I haven't done my job well enough?"

Chang Rong ignored her, picked up a beer and a bag of food, and walked straight to the car.

Duan Xiaowu followed closely behind, holding a can of dark beer.

The two quickly returned to the car.

The lights of the convenience store were dim, falling on him like a hazy gray filter.

But the dim light and shadow couldn't hide the blue and black under his eye sockets, leaving his whole person covered with a faint sense of weariness.

Duan Xiaowu looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Have you not slept well these days?"

So I stayed up the last few nights and went out to have fun.

She still remembers that in middle school, it was very popular to go to Internet cafes for nights out and roller skating.

Chang Rong's family has only one nanny all year round, and no one restrains him at all.

So from that time on, he often stayed up at night.

She was envious of him at that time. No matter how late he played outside, no one cared about him.

Unlike her, who was escorted by Old Man Chang every day to participate in this competition or that competition, she had no freedom at all.

Unexpectedly, Chang Rong's habit has not changed after so many years.

Thinking that he might have gone clubbing all night, Duan Xiaowu looked at Chang Rong with unclear eyes, and she joked: "Young people should pay attention to moderation."

Chang Rong's eyes fell lightly on her, as if he had already understood her thoughts, and said jokingly:

"You said you are a young man, how can you be restrained?"

Duan Xiaowu was caught off guard and he made a dirty talk.

She bent her eyes to look at his side face and clicked her tongue twice.

"Okay, you kid, you've learned how to drive with me."

Chang Rong's lips curled up slightly: "What are you talking about? I mean going to the Internet cafe for a night."

Unfortunately, Duan Xiaowu didn't believe a word of it.

He also looked like you were lying.

Chang Rong was a little helpless and simply changed the subject: "Seat belt! Aren't you going to see the stars?"

After that, he ignored her again.

After Duan Xiaowu fastened his seat belt, he started the car again and drove towards the mountain.

There are almost no cars on Yuelu Mountain at this point.

But Chang Rong still didn't drive fast.

Duan Xiaowu turned on the car music smoothly, and the deep and melodious male voice poured out his heart, gurgling in the air like flowing water.

It's a piece of "Time flies" by Zhang Guorong.

Duan Xiaowu leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes and listened quietly.

It had been a long time since she had listened to a song so pleasantly. It seemed that ever since she reunited with Chang Rong, she had been doing something unconventional.

Just like tonight's proposal to go up the mountain to watch the stars, if Chang Rong hadn't been sitting next to her, she probably wouldn't have had such a whim at all.

This feeling was magical, as if it brought her back to the way she was when she was a teenager.

Derogatory words such as impulsiveness, disorder, and hot-headedness have all become precious qualities such as courage, colorfulness, and the courage to challenge.

She tried to weigh the good and bad of this change.

But tonight, reason can't suppress the excitement in my heart.

After a while, she heard Chang Rong's voice.

"Here, get out of the car."

Duan Xiaowu turned on the lights on the front of the sports car, illuminating the open space in front of her.

The two got out of the car.

"It's strange, it's usually quite lively here." Duan Xiaowu still held the can of beer, "Why is it so deserted today?"

She took a few steps forward, and the neon night view of the city came into view.

But there was a large dark cloud hanging over the city horizon not far away.

Deep in the clouds, there were a few small flashes of thunder and lightning.

Duan Xiaowu: "..."

No wonder there is no one on the mountain.

Chang Rong was right behind her, so he naturally understood the celestial image.

"Misstep!" Duan Xiaowu looked up at the sky anxiously.

While looking for stars, he urged Chang Rongdao. "Hurry up and look, you should look too! Otherwise, the dark clouds will come over soon and you won't be able to see anymore."

Chang Rong: "..."

I dare this woman to say that she is looking at the stars, but she really means looking at the stars in the physical sense.

I really don't know if I should praise her for her clear goals and excellent execution.

But complaints are complaints, Chang Rong still raised his head in obedience.

However, let alone stars, there were not even a single airplane light.

Duan Xiaowu couldn't help but look a little unhappy.

Sure enough, improvising is only suitable for young people.

If it were Duan Xiaowu ten years ago, she would definitely laugh heartily on the spot if she encountered such a thing.

Then he comforted Chang Rong while sharing today's embarrassing journey with his friends.

“Life is full of surprises, and unplanned ones are even more unforgettable.”

But now, Duan Xiaowu couldn't help but shudder when a drop of rain hit her door.

"Ajiu—"

A loud sneeze sounded.

Duan Xiaowu had already withdrew his gaze and looked at Chang Rong a little apologetically.

"Sorry! I originally wanted to take you here to relax, but I didn't expect it would rain."

Before she could finish her words, the next second, a piece of black clothes fell down from her head.

Chang Rong threw his coat to her.

"Put it on and get in the car." The man's faint voice came from above her head.

When Duan Xiaowu pulled off his coat, Chang Rong had already turned around and walked towards the car.

"Quite a gentleman, but he has a bit of a stinky mouth." Duan Xiaowu curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.

She didn't pretend to be pretentious with him. She grabbed the skirt of the black hoodie with both hands and wrapped it around her thin body.

The clothes still carry the residual warmth of someone's body and a light smell of cedar.

Putting on his coat, he returned to the passenger seat and glanced at the dozen dark beers in the back seat of the car.

Duan Xiaowu couldn't help but licked her slightly dry lips, feeling regretful: "What a pity these beers are. It would be so pleasant if I could drink them while looking at the stars."

Chang Rong turned to look at her after hearing this. Her clothes were draped around her body, making them look very loose.

The night lightened the sharpness and husk on her body, as if she had returned to Duan Xiaowu a few years ago when she complained to him that scalpers were too rampant and couldn't get tickets to her brother's concert.

This scene made him a little confused.

It seems impossible to distinguish between reality and memories.

On the river below the mountain, a night cruise ship made a long neighing sound.

Chang Rong was brought back to reality.

He reached into the back seat with his long hand, took out two cans of dark beer and threw them at Duan Xiaowu.

"You can drink it if you want. I've only heard of using peanuts to drink wine, but I haven't heard that you need to drink it from the stars."

Duan Xiaowu wrapped his hands in his coat and quickly broke away to catch the beer.

The faint regret in my heart disappeared in an instant.

She laughed heartily: "Chang Rong, do you have a romantic allergy?"

Chang Rong didn't understand, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What disease?"

Seeing the man's confused expression, Duan Xiaowu's eyebrows arched even longer.

She smiled and shook her head, and finally felt that she had won a victory tonight.

She lowered her head, grabbed the buckle on the can with her long fingers, and then gave it a slight squeeze.

click.

Duan Xiaowu opened the first can of beer in five years.

She no longer hesitated and took a sip of the rich dark beer.The rich aroma of malt immediately filled the entire carriage.

Duan Xiaowu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, it was as delicious as she imagined.

She looked at Chang Rong again with great satisfaction, and at the same time shook the can in her hand at him.

The ends of his eyes narrowed into a seductive curve.

"Welcome back to China, Chang Rong."
