obsessed with love

Chapter 256

Qiao Anming couldn't stand her eyes, so he got up and dressed himself, and sat on the edge of the bed with his back to Du Ruo.

"Sorry, I drank too much tonight..."

Du Ruo seemed to snort coldly. Qiao Anming thought she was going to speak, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound behind her.

Qiao Anming could only look back, seeing that the bed was a mess.

The pillow fell on the carpet, and the quilt was all wrinkled by Qiao Anming, while Du Ruo still kept her original posture lying on her back, the thin mulberry silk blanket barely covered her body curve from her thighs to her chest, her shoulders were exposed. On the outside, there are several obvious bruises on the collarbone and thigh.

It was bitten out by his teeth, but he remembered that he didn't spend much effort at that time, why did he leave so much evidence of crime!

"Du Ruo..." Qiao Anming suppressed his breath, leaned over and helped her close the quilt
She still didn't say anything, her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling above her head.

The suspended ceiling is imported with original packaging, and there are several rings of Swarovski crystals hanging from the lower end. The light is refracted through the cross-section of the crystals, making Du Ruo's skin fairer.

Qiao Anming didn't dare to vent her anger, and didn't dare to ask her any more questions. She just said, "Go take a bath, you're sweating a lot."

The person on the bed still didn't speak, his face was expressionless, and he didn't even move his eyes.

Qiao Anming was not annoyed, and continued to say patiently, "Go take a bath, I'll take you in my arms, you'll catch a cold if you sweat on your body." Then he went to the bathroom to fill up the bath water, filled the whole bathtub, and then walked back to the bed .

Du Ruo still had that expression.

Qiao Anming lost his temper at all, like a prisoner who has made a big mistake and is waiting to be sentenced.

"I'll carry you, okay?"

"..." There was still no response.

He rubbed his eyes with his hands, leaned down and approached Du Ruo, and asked, "Aren't you talking? If you don't talk, it means acquiescing. I'll take you to take a bath!"

Then stretched out his arms, put them under Du Ruo's neck, and hugged her with the blanket on her body.

It was about ten steps from the bed to the bathroom, and Qiao Anming hugged it effortlessly.

"You're thinner, I remember it was a bit difficult to hold you in the past, how have you taken care of yourself these years?"

For some reason, Du Ruo's eyes moved and he glanced at Qiao Anming.

He smiled slightly: "Am I wrong? I feel that you have lost a lot of weight, and you don't have any flesh on your body, but I am also old, and if I go on, I may not be able to hold you anymore."

For the first time, he admitted that he was old in front of Du Ruo.

Du Ruo quickly turned his face to one side, closed his eyes, and forced back the tears that were about to overflow.

Because of the joy of fighting just now, Du Ruo really sweated a lot, and the sweat cooled a little bit in the air, and his body was very cold, but now he was hugged by Qiao Anming and put into the warm water all at once, and the pores instantly Open it, hot and cold, Du Ruo heard a short moan from his throat...

Qiao Anming laughed.

"How's the water temperature? If it's cold, I'll add some hot water for you." As he spoke, he threw a towel into the water, and he poured a little water onto Du Ruo's shoulders, then squatted into the bathtub with his trouser legs Next to her, make a pose to help her take a bath.

What does he want to do?

Du Ruo really couldn't stand Qiao Anming's flattering appearance, so he turned and glanced at him. He was wearing a wrinkled shirt, his eyes were still red, and he still smelled of alcohol.

The scene was too depressing.

"Get out!" Du Ruo turned around, leaving Qiao Anming behind.

Qiao Anming smiled again: "Okay, I'll go out and come in with clean clothes for you later..."

Du Ruo soaked in the bathtub for more than half an hour, and his mind that had just been frozen was a little clear.

Thinking back to the scene just now, Qiao Anming's urgency and passion seemed to be a piece of hot iron, sizzling on her body, and she felt pain, but there seemed to be other feelings rising in the blur.

All these years, it must be a lie to say that she does not want Qiao Anming, and it is also a lie to say that she has never recalled the lingering sweetness of the two of them back then.

How much pampering and tenderness Qiao Anming has given her is branded in her heart, not to mention that she is no longer a little girl in her early twenties. She has experienced things between men and women, and she has had countless times with Qiao Anming. Now Three years later, the two merged again, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was nothing more than renewing their relationship.

Besides, there is a child between her and this man, so many people may say that she is hypocritical with such a cold face.

But is she hypocritical?

She doesn't think so, she's just not sure, not sure how to proceed in the future.

Maybe it was because I was desperate to be with him at the beginning and exhausted all my strength, so now I don't have any extra strength to walk back to him.

"Qiao Anming, should I forgive you, or continue to hate you?" Du Ruo wrapped his arms around his knees, muttering to himself in the bathtub.

Qiao Anming waited for a long time for Du Ruo to come out, so he stood outside the door and knocked in a hurry.

Du Ruo pretended not to hear, because she hadn't figured out how to go out and face him.

But Qiao Anming didn't know, he thought she had done something stupid inside, so he opened the door in a hurry, and the room was full of steam, Du Ruo huddled naked in the bathtub.

"Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"

"……I thought you…"

"Get out!" She threw the towel in her hand, and the towel fell to the ground, and the water stained Qiao Anming.

"Get out!" She yelled again, Qiao Anming suppressed a smile, covered the side of his face with his hands and retreated outside: "Okay, okay, I'll get out, don't shout..."

Because the shirt Du Ruo was wearing just now was torn by Qiao Anming, so she had to change into another one of his clothes.

This time it was a round-neck T-shirt with a straight tube that covered her knees. Qiao Anming was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she found a thin sweater for her to put on.

Du Ruo came and went all in Qiao Anming's clothes, full of his breath.

She brushed her wet short hair in front of the mirror, and laughed at herself: "Du Ruo, you idiot, do you still want to get rid of this man in your life?"

When Du Ruo came out of the bathroom, Qiao Anming just walked into the bedroom with a bowl, blowing air-conditioning into the bowl as he walked.

"It's finished washing, come here!" He looked up and saw Du Ruo standing at the door, and stretched out his hand towards her.

Du Ruo didn't say anything, his expression was still bad, but he walked over obediently.

"Drink this."

"What!" Du Ruo glanced into the bowl, there was an unidentified maroon liquid.

Forgive her invincible brain nerves that can always jump the line at critical moments. At that time, her mind actually appeared in the Gongdou drama. After the emperor favored the concubine, the eunuch sent a bowl of soup, and there would be no children after eating it!
"Mr. Qiao, don't bother, I'm in a safe period!"

"What safety period?" Qiao Anming's black eyes swept over, bewildered.

"..." Du Ruo's mind was blocked again, and he looked at the bowl of unknown liquid again, still steaming, "I'm in my safe period, so I don't need to eat these things, I won't be pregnant!"

"..." This time it was Qiao Anming's turn to get stuck.

What is she saying?
"What do you think is in this bowl?"

"What is it?"

"Ginger tea."

"Why is ginger tea this color?"

"I'm afraid you don't like the taste of ginger, so I added two spoonfuls of brown sugar!" Qiao Anming explained patiently, then blew on the contents of the bowl and handed it to her, "Drink it up, you were sweating just now, it's easy cold."

Du Ruo's face became hot all of a sudden, he took the bowl and drank heavily.

"Why are you drinking in such a hurry, it's still hot." Qiao Anming stroked her back, halfway through the strokes, she suddenly remembered, and asked in a joking tone, "No, with your expression just now, what do you think is in my bowl? "

Du Ruo gulped and drank, ambiguous in his mouth: "I thought... it was a contraceptive pill..."

"How is it possible? I'm not a fool. If you get pregnant by accident today, it means that God is helping me, so I won't give you that drink!"

Qiao Anming spoke normally and naturally.

Holding the empty bowl, Du Ruo said angrily, "No shame!"

He smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, I was forced out by you, I'm used to being shameless with you!"

In the second half of the night, Du Ruo lived in the master bedroom alone, and Qiao Anming was driven to sleep in the guest bedroom.

She is not being hypocritical, after all, they have been separated for three years and only reunited for a few days, so she really can't sleep in the same bed.

Qiao Anming's wine is completely sober, so respect her thoughts.

"I have to apologize to you for what happened tonight, but I was not impulsive after drinking, but the most genuine desire in my heart. Du Ruo, I am serious. I want to keep you by my side. Think carefully, and I will wait for you reply…"

Qiao Anming withdrew from the bedroom, leaving enough space for Du Ruo.

Destined to be a sleepless night.

Both of them should have suffered from insomnia, but Qiao An still fell into a deep sleep at dawn, because he was very exhausted after drinking alcohol the night before and having a death-defying joy.

I don't know how long I slept for this sleep, and finally I was woken up by the ringing of the mobile phone.

On the other end was Xiao Zhang's voice: "Mr. Qiao, Miss Du called me just now and asked me to take the phone to the bus station."

Qiao Anming sat up in a daze, looked at his watch, it was 10 am.

"bus station?"

No, Du Ruo should be next door!
Qiao Anming threw away the phone and ran to the master bedroom. As expected, the bedroom door was wide open, the quilt was well spread, but the person on the bed was nowhere to be seen.

"Du Ruo, Du Ruo!"

Qiao Anming yelled around in the empty room, and all he got was a response.

"Xiao Zhang, where is it now?"

"In the courtyard in the western suburbs, I'll go pick him up now. What's the matter with you and Ms. Du? It sounds like she's going to leave Chongzhou with her."

Qiao Anming knew it was bad again.

"Xiao Zhang, I can't tell you clearly now, but don't take it to the station, wait for my call!"

Qiao Anming pressed the phone and dialed Du Ruo's phone number while changing clothes.

Unfortunately shut down.

Damn!

Is she leaving again?
She's going to disappear with her again?

Qiao Anming took the car keys and was about to rush out, but saw a note on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

The note was pressed by a hairpin, which Qiao Anming recognized as the one he gave her.

"Qiao Anming, I'll just pretend that what happened last night didn't happen. I can forgive you for being unreasonable and rude, but for the rest, please give me enough time, because I have to figure it out on my own, so don't come here again during this time. I, I will take the initiative to find you when I have the answer! Soon, it won't be too long!"

Qiao Anming took the note, read it silently many times, and finally called Xiao Zhang back.

"According to Du Ruo's words, go and pick it up and send it to the station."

"Then Mr. Qiao, aren't you going?"

"I won't go, you go alone."

This time, he took the initiative to wait for her to come back.

After waiting for three years, he still cares about this little time?

Du Ruo bought a train ticket directly from Chongzhou to go back to Xuancheng.

Three years ago, it took seven or eight hours. Now that there are bullet trains, the journey has been shortened by one-third.

It was dinner time when I got home.

Du Liangxing was overjoyed to see that Du Ruo brought it back, so he hurriedly asked Xiaofan to go to the vegetable market to add some vegetables.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Xiaofan, Pidianpidian is about to go to the vegetable market with him, Xiaofan happily hugged him: “Let’s go, go to the vegetable market with uncle, uncle will buy you delicious food!”

Du Liangxing still had a smile on his face.

"Why did you come back suddenly, and didn't call me in advance to tell me?"

"I just took a few days off recently, and I want to come back to see you and Xiaofan."

"Then you have to tell me in advance, it seems that I am not prepared at all."

"There is no need to prepare anything. I will leave after two days." Du Ruo smiled and carried the suitcase brought from the hospital to the bedroom.

Du Liangxing followed her in, and suddenly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Du Ruo turned around, still smiling: "No, everything is fine, I just miss you, so I want to go home for a few days!"

Du Liangxing was stunned for a moment, and walked to Du Ruo's side: "Dad knows your temperament. Generally, if nothing happens, you won't come back suddenly, but if you don't want to talk, Dad won't ask too much, but Dad still said If so, the door of the house will be kept open for you, and if you encounter difficulties outside, come back at any time..."

"Dad..." The smile on Du Ruo's face couldn't hold on anymore.

Du Liangxing's nose was sore, and he patted the back of her hand: "Dad is in good health, and it will be fine for another ten or eight years, so you don't have to be afraid of anything..."

"I know, don't worry about me all the time, I just miss you and Xiaofan, and Mom... I didn't have time to come back on the third anniversary of Mom's death. Come back and see..."

"Okay, okay...it's best if you don't have anything to do, you sit down for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to cook two more dishes, and we'll have dinner when Xiaofan comes back!"

Du Liangxing rubbed his eyes, let go of Du Ruo's hand and went out.

The courtyard where the Du family lived was demolished two years ago, and a small household of 80 square meters was divided into a small household. However, thinking that Xiaofan would have to get married in the future, Du Ruo insisted that Du Liangxing take out Lu Shuangfeng's compensation for the accident and start a new one. Bought 40 square meters.

So now they live in a new house, 120 square meters with three bedrooms and one living room.

The decoration is simple, but it is rare for the whole family to eat together around the small square table, which seems to be very happy.

The atmosphere at dinner was particularly good.

Except for Du Liangxing who kept asking about the injury on his arm, Du Ruo finally told the truth when he saw that he couldn't hide it.

When Xiaofan heard it, he felt distressed and furious.

"I have to go to his wife to settle the score. How could she do anything to such a young child!"

"What kind of wife should be considered an ex-wife, Jiang Hao divorced her!" Du Liangxing clapped his chopsticks beside him, "I have never seen that woman before, but I heard from your mother that she is not a good one, so Jiang Hao was a Blind, divorced you because of that kind of woman, now? Now it’s in this situation!"

"Dad..." Du Ruo couldn't listen anymore.

She knew that Du Liangxing had a good impression of Jiang Hao, and she was even looking forward to their remarriage.

"Don't mention the past, who is right and who is wrong, let alone Xu Xiaoya suffering from depression, let's take it as cause and effect."

"Then what did brother-in-law say? After being injured like this, brother-in-law didn't give you an explanation?" Xiao Fan still kept talking to brother-in-law and couldn't change his words.

Du Ruo sneered coldly: "He is no longer your brother-in-law, don't bark."

"But Dad said that you are very likely to remarry, and last time my brother-in-law came to apologize to Dad, and I feel very remorseful."

"Impossible, it is impossible for me and Jiang Hao to remarry! Besides, I just met Qiao Anming a few days ago..."

Du Liangxing took a mouthful of soup and couldn't swallow it for a long time.

Xiao Fan was shocked: "Sister, did you reconcile with that Mr. Qiao?"

Du Liangxing glanced over: "Eat, eat, the food is cold, if you have something to say, we'll talk after dinner!!!"

The night in Xuancheng is always very quiet.

Du Ruo accompanied her to sleep in the bedroom, and Du Liangxing washed the dishes and knocked on her door, holding a peeled apple in his hand.

"dad…"

"The little one fell asleep?"

"Well, I was very tired after riding the train all day, so I fell asleep after a few coaxes." Du Ruo got up from the bed and moved a chair for Du Liangxing.

Du Liangxing handed the apple to Du Ruo, and sat on the chair: "Don't rush to sleep, if you don't sleep, we can talk later."

"Okay." Du Ruo smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.

Du Liangxing was stunned for a while, he had to find something to start with, but he couldn't find it, so he kept calling Du Ruo: "Eat apples, you eat apples first..."

"I'm eating, Dad, do you have something to ask me? About Qiao Anming?"

"Well..." He sat up a little, "I want to hear your thoughts."

"I have no idea."

"That's why you came back? Because you didn't know what to do, and you were in a dilemma, so you came back?"

Du Ruo's nose was sore, but she kept smiling all the time: "Papa knows me best, and I really don't know what to do. I thought about it before, especially when it was the most difficult time. Sometimes, I think, if he shows up and is willing to accept my reconciliation, I will definitely not leave again, but when this day comes, I suddenly realize that is not the case.”

"Why? Has something changed?"

"No, it doesn't seem to have changed, it's just..."

"Just what? Is it fear?"

Du Ruo was heartbroken, and looked up at his father in front of him, as if he had told the truth.

"Dad, how courageous I was before, able to withstand any pressure, not afraid of any consequences, why am I afraid now? Besides, now that Gu Lan is gone, what am I afraid of?"

"Afraid to go back. People are like this. Once you go far, you need to use a lot of effort to return to the original place."

"What should I do?"

"Ask yourself, do you want to go back, do you want to be with him?"

"I think, I think in my heart, but I don't dare to act. I always feel that there has been a gap between us for three years. Three years can change a lot of things."

Du Liangxing smiled: "It will take another three years? You can change something in a while. Look, the apples in your hand are all yellow."

Du Ruo looked down, and the apple that was still white and tender just now turned yellow.

"What should I do if the apple turns yellow? Do you eat it or throw it away?"

"Of course you have to eat it. It's yellow on the outside, but it's not bad on the inside."

"So, many things are the same. The appearance has changed due to time, but the inside is still good, not bad. The important thing is the inside, which is your heart and his heart. If the heart remains the same, there is no need to be afraid of anything."

That's right, if her heart doesn't change, what else does she need to be afraid of?
She asked herself, has her heart changed?

Do you still only have Qiao Anming in your heart?Does your heart beat faster when you see him?Does he still feel short of breath when he kisses himself, even, even... When he hugged her and loved her over and over again last night, she also had a moment of joy?

"Dad, I understand..." Du Ruo wrinkled his nose and smiled mischievously, "Go and rest first, I will eat the apple."

"Okay, you go to bed early, you have to go to see your mother tomorrow morning..."
