obsessed with love

Chapter 162
Du Ruo asked in a very soft voice: "The hospital invested for his wife, probably his wife will also attend."

"Well, he was present, but his wife seemed to be very low-key, and she came out once during the ribbon cutting..." Zheng Xiaoran moved his eyes closer to the screen, and finally pointed to a lavender figure: "Well, that's it! This It's his wife, the one in the cheongsam!"

Du Ruo looked in the direction of her finger, but it was a pity that the figure was too small to see the face clearly, only a vague outline.

"How is his wife?"

"How about what?" Zheng Xiaoran was a little surprised by her question.

Du Ruo closed his eyes and asked with a smile, "That's right, what kind of person is his wife?"

"What kind of person?" Zheng Xiaoran began to think deeply: "I can't say, anyway, she looks very ordinary. She looks like a 40-year-old woman, not tall, with short hair, and she doesn't seem to like chatting with people. The whole ceremony Standing next to your boss, rarely smiling... um... Anyway, she looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman, nothing special, and I don't know what your boss likes about her... But I have been guarding the outfield, and I have no chance to follow her. She has been in close contact, so it's hard to see exactly what she looks like!"

"Oh!" Du Ruo faintly echoed, and began to sketch Gu Lan's appearance in his mind.

What will this woman who can enjoy all of Qiao Anming's love and tenderness look like?
Seeing that Du Ruo was thinking, Zheng Xiaoran added a few words: "However, your boss is really caring. He accompanied his wife all the time, and even whispered to her from time to time. He doesn't seem to like him very much. Laugh, anyway, in the whole ceremony, apart from him laughing in front of the reporters, he was only seen smiling at his wife... like that, tsk tsk... I'm so envious of the dead."

Zheng Xiaoran began to act like a nympho.

Du Ruo touched his forehead with his hand, trying to calm down the unhappiness in his heart.

There was no way, she still couldn't ignore his affairs.

Although he didn't know what his wife looked like, Du Ruo was full of jealousy towards her.She didn't hide her dark psychology, she was willing to admit that she was envious of Gu Lan, even unbalanced, but what could she do?I can only look at his photo and feel resentful in my heart.

After Zheng Xiaoran left, Du Ruo started to surf the Internet and typed in the words "Sheng'an, hospital, ribbon-cutting". There was a long list of photos of the opening of the hospital, many of which were close-ups of Qiao Anming, but he couldn't find a photo of his wife. Obviously, he deliberately asked the media to delete it.

He really loved her and protected her so well!

Du Ruo looked at the photo on the screen, but he couldn't find a trace of his familiar aura from every angle and expression.

Suddenly I remembered what Mo Youting said when I was drunk that day: "Besides being your boss, what other relationship do you have? In other words, if one day you are not working in Sheng'an, do you think you still have to meet him?" Opportunity?"

……

Du Ruo turned off the display screen and slowly lay down on the table!
What Mo Youting said is right, apart from the employment relationship between the boss and the employees, there is really a clear relationship between him and her!
Jiang Hao's "enterprise service" activity really started, and the first stop was Sheng'an's base in Wumu Mountain.

When Du Ruo heard the news early in the morning, he deliberately chose the company that would return to Sheng'an in the urban area that day. Because the base and the company in the urban area belong to two administrative districts, the labor relationship needs to be transferred. The HR manager in the urban area called Du Ruo very early on. Ruo went back to sign the relationship change letter, and went through the transfer procedures of the five social insurances and one housing fund, so this just became a ready-made excuse to avoid meeting Jiang Hao.

She didn't want to escape deliberately, but she felt that she would see him less in the future. She still couldn't let go of this marriage.

In order to avoid running into Qiao Anming in the company, Du Ruo went straight to the HR department as soon as she entered the company. Seeing Du Ruo walking in, the HR specialist immediately asked her to fill out various forms and sign various agreements, and finally drew a card from the top. Pass it to Du Ruo: "This, you have to take it upstairs for Mr. Qiao to sign!"

"Why? Why should I go!"

"Of course you have to go! Didn't you see that I'm so busy. Since our company was acquired, there have been major changes in personnel, and the top has been laying off employees and recruiting people. It's alright, alright, hurry up and sign it to Mr. Qiao. Well, he happened to be at the company today, if you miss it, you have to rush back from Mount Wumu!"

The personnel officer didn't give Du Ruo any room to refuse, so he stuffed the paper into her arms, buried his head and ignored it.

Du Ruo weighed it over and over again, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the elevator.

There happened to be a client in Qiao Anming's office. Du Ruo went in with the paper. He just raised his head slightly, quickly signed his name at the signature place, and returned it to Du Ruo calmly.

The whole process, from Du Ruo's entry to his departure, took less than a minute, and there was no exchange of words, not even an eye contact.

Du Ruo held the piece of paper and waited for the elevator in a daze. Her heart was beating fast, but her face still had a stiff expression. When she finally stepped into the elevator and saw her stiff expression on the mirror, she couldn't help laughing at herself, but Soon she breathed a sigh of relief, this is actually quite good, pretending to be the boss and subordinate, saving a lot of energy in dealing with it.

Du Ruo thought about it all the way back to Mount Wumu, and finally leaned against the window of the bus alone, weeping slowly.

If you have ever had such a brave but desperate feeling, you should be able to understand Du Ruo's mood, that kind of feeling of resentment, heartache, hope, but despair.

Obviously it hurts a lot in my heart, but I have to pretend to be calm!

He obviously hates her very much in his heart, but he has to pretend to be generous and calm!

In the end, she still couldn't hold back, got off the bus, stood at the exit of the bus station, and took out her mobile phone to call Qiao Anming.

At that time, it was approaching evening, her voice was a little hoarse from crying, and she asked, "Why didn't you even look at me in your office just now?"

He replied directly: "I'm in the car, there is a meeting, you suddenly called me, what do you want to say?"

"I don't want to say anything, but I just want to ask you, why didn't you look at me just now? Are you afraid to look at me, or do you not want to look at me?"

Qiao Anming seemed to take a breath, obviously trying to suppress his impatience: "I think you are thinking too much, just now there is a client in the office, you just need me to sign a change letter, I will sign it to you, has a problem?"

His logic is impeccable, but Du Ruo is still not reconciled: "It's okay, but...but how can you not react at all?"

"Du Ruo!" Qiao Anming seemed to be on fire, "I don't have time to answer your boring questions. If you have nothing important to do, hang up!"

Immediately, he pressed the phone, Du Ruo called again, busy tone, called again, and did not answer.

There were people coming and going at the exit of the station, and from time to time, people dragging their luggage passed by Du Ruo.

She held her phone, stood in the shadow of the setting sun, and repeated what he said on the phone over and over again!

She didn't want to humiliate herself, she just wanted to make herself give up. He really cooperated and cut it across the board, leaving no room for her at all!
Qiao Anming opened the car window, the cold wind blowing on his face...

Xiao Zhang peeked at Qiao Anming's face in the back seat from the rearview mirror. It was gloomy, but it didn't look like anger, it was more like a kind of powerlessness and fatigue. Finally, Xiao Zhang couldn't help it, so he boldly asked: "Mr. ,What's up?"

Qiao Anming shook his head, closed the car window again, and replied, "It's okay!"

……

Du Ruo suffered from insomnia completely that night. After getting acquainted with Qiao Anming until now, she finally got up to wash her face. With red eyelids and swollen eye circles from crying, she finally threw the towel into the sink and pinched herself severely. : "Du Ruo, you are crazy!"

For the next half month, the peace was unreal.Du Ruo has never been back to the urban area, and spends weekends in the hut, reading medicine books, copying notes, occasionally going out for food, and chatting with the medicine farmers in the mountains. She has to slowly adapt and integrate into the life here.

Life goes on, work has to be done, and nothing has changed, except for those invisible corners of my heart.

I could have been so silently unfamiliar, maybe over time, some outrageous emotions and thoughts will be completely dissolved in time, but I said before that everything in this world can be controlled, except fate!
Qiao Anming was still at the airport in Chongzhou when he got the news of the landslide in Mount Wumu. There was an industry summit abroad, and he attended it as a representative of Chongzhou. As soon as he got off the plane, his phone was full of text messages and missed calls, and soon there was a call from the headquarters. The person called again, the voice was very urgent, saying that there was a serious landslide on Wumu Mountain, and the management personnel of the base could not be contacted, probably because the signal was interrupted...

They said a lot on the other side, but Qiao Anming couldn't listen at all. At that moment, Du Ruo was the only thing that came into his mind.

She lived on the hillside, he knew that place, there were no neighbors around, it was a lonely house, although he didn't know why she chose such a place, but now he has no time to pursue it, he just wants to know if something happened to her ?Is it safe?Where are you now?
Xiao Zhang's car was driving very fast on the highway. Outside it was stormy, with thunder and lightning, but the inside of the car was dead silent.

There were calls coming in all the way, Qiao Anming arranged the rescue and follow-up work in an orderly manner, but he was very anxious, full of Du Ruo's safety.

However, due to his different status, he had no way to ask, and he also called Xu Dong, but unfortunately the other party's mobile phone has not been connected, and when he called Du Ruo, he got the same busy tone.

Gu Lan also called and told him not to go to Wumu Mountain at this time. There was a landslide. The situation there was very bad, with strong winds and heavy rain, steep mountain roads, undercurrents and rocks everywhere, and could kill him at any time.

But Qiao Anming insisted on going!
He couldn't leave Du Ruo alone, he was too scared, it was the first time he was so flustered and alone.

I was so cruel before, saying harsh words again and again, but only now did I realize how much I cared.People's hearts are always like this, and they are only willing to admit it when there is chaos or when they can no longer hide!
Forget his distance, his promise, and his future, he no longer cares about how dangerous the road ahead is, and he doesn't care about how many people's attention he will attract if he rushes over like this. He just wanted to know that she was all right, even if he rushed over to see her like this, he would still take the risk of dying.

The speed of the car had reached the fastest speed, but Qiao Anming still felt that it was too slow. He had never been as anxious as that day, as if his whole heart was hanging in the air. Too many emotions were stuck in his chest, so he had to lean on the chair and breathe slowly.

The car finally drove into the mountainous area of ​​Wumu Mountain. The streetlights on the entire mountain road were disconnected and it was pitch black. Xiao Zhang could only drive carefully by the light of the car lights. The rainstorm had lessened, but there were still lightning and thunder.

There are uneven rocks everywhere on the mountain road, but they should have been cleared by special personnel, so the car can barely pass.

Du Ruo lived in the middle of the mountain, and all the roads up the mountain were blocked, and the car couldn't drive up. Qiao Anming could only let Xiao Zhang wait in the car and climb up on foot.

The power grid in the entire mountain area was paralyzed. Qiao Anming walked up the mountain with some difficulty holding an umbrella. He didn't know the exact location of Du Ruo's house. He asked people he saw along the way, and finally figured out her exact location.

The door of the hut was not closed firmly, and the window was also opened a hole, and the sound of the door leaf hitting the door frame opening and closing could be heard when the wind blew past.

Qiao Anming opened the door and walked in. The room was pitch black and extremely cold, but no one could be seen.

"Du Ruo...Du Ruo..." He shouted anxiously, but no one answered, so he could only walk into the back room, and when he opened the bedroom door, he saw the figure huddled in the corner of the bed... He lived to be 45 years old, more than half In all my life, I have never hated myself so much as at that moment!

Why did he transfer her to Mount Wumu?Why let her suffer all this alone?

She said on the phone that day: "He doesn't like me, I don't blame him... But what I can't stand is that he is still estranged from me as a boss in the end... Do you know this feeling? , it’s like I’m playing a one-man show alone, playing a complete fool with no room for change... What’s even more ridiculous is that I still feel that I am willing, even if I am wronged like this... I still don’t want to give up... I hate him, even I don't even have the courage to hate him..."

How silly, why didn't she have the courage to hate him?

He almost hated himself to death, hated himself for being self-righteous and self-assertive, but in fact, he was trying to cover up the truth!
Qiao Anming walked to the bed, the figure on the bed was huddled under the quilt, lightning flashed, the room was bright for a moment, and the shadow of the trembling figure on the wall could be seen clearly.

He finally sat down and pulled back her quilt...

Du Ruo wrapped her hands around herself and lay on her knees, her hair was messed up...

Qiao Anming called her name softly again, but the figure still didn't respond, as if completely ignoring the outside world, just immersed in her own world.

He's seen her so-called "spectrophobia" twice, so he can totally understand her reaction now!But before, I just felt a little sympathy, but now I really feel distressed!
She was alone in this room, facing endless darkness and fear, how long did she endure, how long did she suffer until now?

Qiao Anming, you are not a god at all, you care so much about her, but you insist on pretending to ignore her helplessness and admiration!

He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, but Du Ruo, who was curled up together, instantly raised his head, closed his eyes and screamed in horror: "Ah...don't come here, don't come here...don't touch me!" He waved his arms in a panic, as if there was a ghost in front of him, trying to swallow her alive.

Qiao Anming wrapped his arms around her wildly waving hands, and then pressed her shoulders. He embraced her whole body in his arms, coaxing gently: "Du Ruo, it's me... Qiao Anming..."

These words seemed to be a spell, and the person in his arms gradually settled down, no longer screaming or making a fuss, only his body trembled, curled up in his chest like a trapped animal...

Qiao Anming tightened his arms to hold her in his arms, and slowly stroked her hair with his palms, chanting: "Okay... okay... I'm here, it's over..." The movements and voice were as gentle as It's comforting a wounded cat.

Du Ruo pressed against his chest, and her ears were filled with his gentle words that were almost greasy. She never believed that these were all true things, that Qiao Anming, who was cruel and heartless to her, would rush to hug her in the wind and rain. Own?

But so what if it's a dream?At least the temperature is real, and the embrace is warm, and she can still act coquettishly in his arms that she can't normally, and express grievances that she usually doesn't want to say.

……

"It has been raining since last night... This is already the second night, I know this is a dream, but how nice, at least I have you in the dream, I don't have to wait for the dawn alone..." She spoke intermittently, still immersed in the In the panic and panic, he just clenched Qiao Anming's fist tightly.

He appeared too many times in the dream, but he always disappeared at the last second. She didn't want him to leave so quickly, so she could only hold onto it desperately.

Qiao Anming's heart has become difficult to breathe normally.

Feelings are really a matter of thousands of turns, pretense, distress, joy, miss, in front of her, these have become vulnerable...

He just gently straightened her body, looked into her eyes, and said word by word: "Look at me, this is not a dream, there is warmth..."

She didn't believe it, she shook her head slightly, her hair covered her eyes: "Stop playing, it happens every time, when I think it's real, the dream will wake up..."

"No, Du Ruo, it's real this time..." He used his fingers to push back the hair covering her cheeks, and the place where his palms touched was wet... Maybe it was because she was afraid for too long, her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Du Ruo finally saw the figure in front of him, it was too dark to see Qiao Anming's expression clearly, but the outline was like that, it was the figure she had missed thousands of times in her dreams.

The bridge of the nose is high, the eyes are deep, and there is a touch of elegance.

"You...really... come to see me?" She still couldn't believe it, this scene was too dreamy, she had been cheated so many times, she was so happy over and over again, and the silence when her hope was lost, so repeated, she no longer had the courage Go easy to believe.

Qiao Anming's breathing has become very light, and her cold and greasy face is in the palm of her hand.

"Really, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I came to see you."

"Impossible, he won't come to see me..." Du Ruo still didn't want to believe it... Qiao Anming didn't have the strength to bear it any longer, so he leaned close to her breath and kissed her closely...

Drunkenness does not ask the way back, karma and karma are separated, love and desire are hidden, the waves hit the waves and kiss the sun and the sunset...

Loving someone doesn't have to be like a sunrise, even a sunset has beams of light!

He has no way of knowing what the future will be, but at least now he wants it very much.

That kiss was a shallow test, starting from the corners of her lips, then to the wings of her nose, and finally to her forehead, with her fingertips poking into her hair, breathing wetly: "Du Ruo, look, there is warmth... "

The person in his arms became still, then trembled slowly, and finally both arms were wrapped around, soft lips invaded, such a kiss that he could not refuse, he lost everything, surrendered, and responded with all enthusiasm and tenderness her kiss...

The heartbeat has stopped, leaving only the lingering temperature of the tip of the tongue, breathing all over the ear, from a faint breath to a heavy gasp... She has been dormant for so long, waiting for his presence, he has tolerated it for so long, and finally is willing to reward himself for handing over.

The rain outside seemed to have stopped, and the light of lightning shone in, and each of them could see their absent-minded and intoxicated faces.

She is his lotus, his fairy, a luxury he wants but dare not have.

Life is full of accidents, this is a catastrophe of landslides, from body to heart, he has no strength to defend...

Du Ruo gently pushed Qiao Anming away, breathed softly, and said close to his ear: "Tell me, this is not a dream!"

But he didn't want to repeat it, he just held her face in his palms, and kissed her slowly, without opening his mouth, just spread along the line of his lips, and the curve of her throat made her heart shrink together, gasping for breath. It's not worth the words he put behind her head: "Du Ruo, I don't want to hold on anymore, it's too difficult to hold on, so forget it, let you win..."

She laughed so hard that tears overflowed...

It's too bad, I have lost my self-esteem, I have endured for so long, and I still come to this step.

That kiss was very long, and I insisted on making up for all the warmth I missed before!
All the fires were awakened, no one shouted to stop, all the way down, her fingers were all tightened...

"Qiao Anming... Qiao Anming..."

She called his name over and over again!How pampering, he is willing to kiss himself like this, with such gentle and delicate movements, all the skin goes down little by little, he seems unwilling to miss any inch...

This is a ignited fuse, and the end can only be an explosion, and there is no turning back. ... An Ning before she died, but he didn't give her time to breathe. He wrapped his arms behind her, pushed her back, and lay down with the person in his arms...

"Du Ruo...it's still too late to stop..."

She smiled mischievously, and asked indifferently: "If you can stop, I'm fine." There was provocation in her words, but she still didn't dare to open her eyes.Qiao Anming knew she was proud, but he also admitted: "I can't stop, there is nothing I can do about you..."

After the words fell, he buried his head again in her deep smile.

She is beautiful, he knew it early on, but he never imagined that he would be addicted to this step in the end...

The rain outside the window began to intensify again, and the pattering sound accompanied by the sound of thunder floated into the house. Since she was sensible when she was young, Du Ruo has experienced countless dark nights of lightning and thunder. All the warmth was buried in her chest alone, her hands hugged tightly, exchanging bodies with each other.

"Qiao Anming..." She called his name for the last time.

He held back his breath, slowly fell down, kissed her forehead, and said three words: "I'm sorry..."

She laughed, then began to cry, tears spilled from the corners of her eyes, flowed down her cheeks, dripped on his hands, and finally melted into his heart.

The three words "I'm sorry" mean too much to the two of them.

The lingering coldness finally subsided, and the rain outside the window gradually stopped, with residual drops dripping down the eaves, accompanied by the cool air, making the two hugging people on the bed stick closer together.

Du Ruo never dared to look up at his face, nervous, shy, and too much joy that couldn't be hidden, mixed with these complex emotions, she could only obediently lie on his chest.

The intense joy just now, my God... She still can't believe that it was not a dream.

Qiao Anming pulled the quilt to cover Du Ruo's exposed shoulders, half lying on her upper body, with one arm resting domineeringly behind her head.

It's been a long time since the end, but the person in his arms has been silent, just keeping that fixed posture in his arms.

Qiao Anming couldn't help laughing. Knowing that she was shy, he fondled her hair with his hands: "Asleep? Why don't you talk?"

Du Ruo frowned, wishing she could get under the quilt, but when Uncle Qiao spoke, she could only shake her head stupidly, and burrowed her head deeper into his arms, but she refused to speak.

How do you make her speak?What can she say at this time?
But Qiao An made it clear that he wanted to provoke her on purpose. He lowered his head slightly and stroked the hair on the top of her head with his chin: "Are you feeling embarrassed? Aren't you usually very powerful?"

Du Ruo hated her hard, "Hula" got out of his arms, and stared fiercely at his face for a few seconds. Qiao Anming met her gaze with a smile in his eyes, with a look of "big gray" The smug look after the wolf ate up the little white rabbit.

How could the Dumei people resist Qiao Anming's naked eyes? He was quickly defeated. Without saying a word, he threw himself into his arms again, and just hid his bare arms under the quilt. Forget to tuck in the corners of the quilt and wrap yourself tightly.

Qiao Anming was amused by her childish childish actions, and laughed heartily.

It's rare for him to smile normally, let alone such a loose and unrestrained laugh. Putting it in such an environment, the Dumei in his arms would gnash his teeth, and his whole body would be covered in goose bumps caused by his laughter.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" She couldn't bear it anymore, turned over, and simply got out of his arms, turning her back to him and began to sulk.

Qiao Anming laughed louder, passed her hands around her smooth waist, hugged her from behind, and asked maliciously: "Are you angry? Are you angry like this?"

"Will you take care of me when I'm angry? Now you look like you're just having fun, hum..." Du Meiren's buttocks pouted, and she really looked like she was going to be seriously angry.

Qiao Anming stopped laughing, just buried her face in the hair behind her head, breathed quietly, and then said slowly: "Du Ruo, in fact, your anger is very effective for me. When you are unhappy, I will also worry. Although it's still the same face, you won't know what's in my heart."

When he said these words, he didn't think of himself as Qiao Anming, he only wanted to be an ordinary person who was lucky enough to embrace her, he didn't want those heavy masks, and occasionally showed his heart, and it was to the person he loved. feels good.

Du Ruo's heart began to beat, and he breathed heavily, fearing that he would suffocate if his heart couldn't keep up.

He is such a stingy person who expresses his emotions and state of mind, to say such things at such a time, God... Qiao Anming!Du Meiren clutched his chest, turned around slowly, and looked into his eyes...

He didn't lie, what he said was the most truthful words in his heart, so there was tenderness in his eyes and shining firmness.

Tears began to seep from the corners of Du Ruo's eyes again. This feeling of heaven was so wonderful that she was speechless. Her usual eloquent tongue was so clumsy that she couldn't pronounce it correctly, so she could only put her head in his arms, and then Raise your fist and beat gently.

"You did it on purpose, right? You made me cry on purpose, Qiao Anming!"

He held her hand dotingly, pressed it on his chest, and wiped her tears a little bit: "I didn't want to make you cry, I just want you to know what I think in my heart. Let you know that I really don't want to see you cry, if possible, it's best not to cry for me in the future."

Where is he comforting people?

The tears that could have been held back were made to fall frequently by his words, and soon soaked the whole face. Qiao Anming felt distressed, but he wiped away more and more tears. In the end, he simply ignored her and just let her go again. He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to carve her into his heart.

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, don't talk anymore, don't cry anymore..."

As soon as these words came out, Du Meiren cried even harder, with a voice, and complained intermittently: "Hey... what do you think? Are you comforting someone? I was not human when I was yelling at me before, but now I am gentle , let alone a human... woo woo woo..."

Qiao Anming was thoroughly amused by her, and laughed heartily again.

But when he smiled, the person in his arms cried even more vigorously, weeping in cadence, without any ambiguity, as if to vent all the grievances before.

Qiao Anming didn't persuade her anymore, and patted her on the back lightly, letting her cry in his arms.

Forget it, let her go, he knew that he had nothing to do with her, so he simply followed her, when she laughed, he laughed too, when he cried, he hugged her and listened to her cry.

He has let himself go this far, what else can't he do for her?

Du Ruo knew that his crying was unreasonable, so he tried his best to control it, and slowly quieted down.

Qiao Anming kept patting her on the back, feeling that the person in her arms was calmer, and then asked again: "Okay, enough crying, can you tell me now, why are you so afraid of the dark?"

"What...what's the fear of the dark! I'm...gloophobia!" Although she stopped crying, the sobbing hiccups continued, so her words were incoherent when she retorted.

Qiao Anming petted her and replied: "Okay, you have a gloomy phobia, so can you tell me the reason?"

Du Ruo sniffed, changed a more comfortable position in his arms, and then slowly began to tell the story: "My brother was in poor health since he was a child, and my parents often had to accompany him in the hospital, so when I was young, I was often alone. Stay at home. I remember one time, probably when I was 9 years old, my brother fell ill, and my parents sent him to the hospital in the middle of the night. They locked me at home because they were afraid that I would run out alone. It happened that night Rain, lightning and thunder like this, I was terrified lying on the bed alone, and all the ghost stories I had heard popped out of my head one by one, and finally I was too scared, so I went into the closet alone, that is. It’s an old-fashioned wardrobe with a metal lock. After I got in, I slammed the door hard, and the lock fell off by itself. I was locked in the cabinet, and I couldn’t open it no matter how hard I hit it...”

After Du Ruo said this, he began to breathe hard, and Qiao Anming held her back with his hands in distress, comforting her gently over and over again.

Only then did she have the courage to continue: "The space in the closet is very small, full of quilts, so dark that you can't see your fingers, and you can only touch the surrounding walls of the closet... I cried and shouted, but there was no one to answer. Hearing the sound of thunder outside, that feeling was like being abandoned by the whole world... Then my mother found out that it was already the next afternoon when she came back from the hospital and opened the cabinet door, and I was already fainted inside. I was covered in sweat, soaking half of the quilt under my body. Since then, I have been afraid of the dark, thunder, and being alone. I even trembled when I saw the wardrobe..."

Du Ruo's voice gradually became weaker.

People's fear of a thing mostly starts from their childhood experience. Because of their young age and meager strength, they have no ability to fight back against the disturbances from the outside world. However, these fears formed in childhood will not grow with age. If it disappears slowly, it will become more and more deeply rooted and become a part of life.

What's more, someone like Du Ruo, who is afraid of the dark and thunder, is still left at home by her parents again and again, and bears these things she fears alone. After a long time, she completely loses the ability to fight back. When the fear strikes again , she has no ability to resist, and can only curl up and endure alone.

Of course, she never mentioned these fears to her parents, because she was afraid that they would worry and feel guilty, so she pretended to be fearless, but in fact she was very timid.

"Do you know why I chose this hut now? Because there is no cabinet in this room... Do you think I am very useless, but there is no way, my fear of the dark can't be changed..." Du Ruo smiled bitterly, and then continued : "Actually, there was a power outage in the mountains yesterday. I thought the situation wasn't so bad, and I passed it by myself, but I stayed in bed all night yesterday and barely fell asleep at dawn. Today, it actually started to thunder... If you don't come , I wonder if I can last until tomorrow morning..."

The voice of her saying these words was covered in his chest by her, and the hot and humid breath in her mouth breathed in his heart, causing bursts of pain.

Qiao Anming started to kiss her forehead and brow, and then gradually followed her nose to the corner of her lips, apologizing over and over again: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, I didn't think about it...Damn me..."

She started laughing and crying again, and pressed her body against him, responding to his intensive kisses, like a person who has been holding on for a long time, but in fact, her mind is very soft, with only a hard coat, if someone is willing to give warmth, she will greedily cling to it.

When Du Ruo was with Qiao Anming at the beginning, he looked like this. He had a fierce aura, so she took off all the shells and exposed all the softest parts.

Qiao Anming kissed very seriously, and her tears fell very quickly. Finally, he began to kiss her eyes little by little, and coaxed Shu panting: "Okay, okay, cry again, I don't think I dare to talk to you anymore ..."

"Yes, you'd better stop talking, you keep making me cry...!" Du Ruo pressed against the corner of his lips, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, finally took a breath, recovered a little momentum, and asked: " A few days ago, you were still teasing me with such cruel words, why did you come here suddenly?"

"I was out of the country, and I received a call right after I got off the plane. Knowing that something happened here, I rushed over here, and my luggage is still at the airport!"

He explained clearly, but Du Ruo was very angry: "You don't have to tell me these things, you clearly know that's not what I want to know!"

"Then what do you want to know?" He held her face and kissed her again, with a smile on his face, Du Ruo put his hands on his chest, and asked seriously: "I want to know, why did you come to see me suddenly?" !"

Qiao Anming looked into her expectant eyes, took a breath and said quietly: "I'm afraid that something will happen to you, and I'm afraid I won't see you again. I'm so scared, so I can't control anything. I just rushed all the way from Chongzhou Airport. Everyone knows that I have come to Mount Wumu, but those who have not seen me until now, probably everyone outside is going crazy... But I am still holding you here and chatting, so think about it, I guess I will encounter you in the future Damn..."

Qiao Anming spoke intermittently, and then began to kiss Du Ruo again, not in a hurry, as if he was enjoying, but also as if he was teasing, the hot and humid breath hit her face, causing her to gasp for a while, but she still had to pretend to be a kiss. He pushed Qiao Anming away with a look of "taking care of the overall situation": "Ah... there is no signal in the mountains now, and they can't get through to your mobile phone. It will really turn the world upside down. You should go out and have a look. I'm fine by myself."

But he ignored her, and hugged her body more tightly: "I don't want to go out, just do whatever you want, it's rare to let it go, besides, it's already a world-shaking situation for me and you, I guess many people will know about our relationship tomorrow morning."

"Really?" Du Ruo asked anxiously, a little worried.

Qiao Anming frowned and asked, "What? Are you afraid of being known by others?"

"No, what am I afraid of? I'm afraid of affecting you. After all, you are a public figure!"

Qiao Anming started laughing again. He really loved and hated Du Ruo's reaction. In the end, he could only rub her hair, and half-jokingly replied, "Isn't she usually a clever girl? Why can't she use her brain at critical times? Don't be nervous, they will pretend they don't know what they should know, what's more, I will do my best to protect you and not let you be troubled because of your relationship with me."

Since he allowed himself to come this far with her, he has the ability to protect her well.

Although he didn't know how to go in the future, at least he still had the confidence to keep her from being disturbed by gossip.

Du Ruo's heart was very warm, and he slapped him on the shoulder again with a smirk.

This man was either as cold as an ice cave, or so sweet that she would grit her teeth.

The rain outside the window stopped and started again, started and stopped, repeated many times, Du Ruo fell asleep long ago.

But Qiao Anming didn't feel sleepy all the time, he just hugged the person in his arms and stared out the window in a daze.
