It's a pity I still love you

Chapter 13 Time flies, come back to me (1)
It's really a miserable thing to go to Sister Chen with an empty book. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still injured when Sister Chen attacked her unceremoniously.

She stood with her head down in Sister Chen's office. While looking at the manuscript submitted by others, Sister Chen asked casually, "What's going on?"

She hesitated for a moment and lied: "I'm sorry, I didn't go into Deputy Secretary Ran's ward."

If it wasn't for him to recognize that it was her, she might really not be able to get in. In this way, it's not entirely false.

"Oh?" Sister Chen looked up at her from a table of documents and asked after a pause, "Then what have you been doing for so long?"

"I..." Fleeting Nian was a little nervous, bit her lower lip and said, "I met a friend and chatted with her for a while...I'm sorry, I shouldn't be chatting."

"No, your job is to talk to people, but you talked about something interesting about something I'm more interested in, can you write a manuscript about it and publish it?"

Liu Nian heard Sister Chen's anger, and didn't dare to answer any more.

Sister Chen refused to let her go just like that, and continued: "Or, the person you are talking to is the young president of the Cheng family?"

Fleeting Nian heard the irony in it, still just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Sister Chen threw the notebook in front of Liu Nian, and with a "snap", she leaned back on the back of the chair, folded her arms around her chest, and said sharply: "The newspaper didn't hire you to make friends with you. If you think If you know Mr. Cheng, you can always get special treatment, sorry, please go to another part, at least I won’t support idlers here, do you understand?”

Fleeting nodded.

Sister Chen's tone softened a little, "I will finish the task before I get off work tomorrow, can I do it?"

Sister Chen had already talked about this, and Liu Nian felt guilty, so she had to agree.

"Go."

Finally, when Sister Chen stopped pursuing it, Liu Nian took out the notebook and felt a little frustrated.It's hard to be scolded by sister Chen, but more importantly, how can she see Ran Zhimo again tomorrow?

Ran Zhimo... Fleeting Nian couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought about it, his face was so bad when she left, I don't know how he is now.

She turned around and left like that at that time, she couldn't help blaming herself in her heart, but then she thought again, she's not a doctor, so what if she stayed, so what?
When I got home, I found a box of instant noodles and ate them. Actually, there wasn't much, but it was greasy enough to keep her from wanting to eat for a while.

She turned on the TV and kept tuning the channel, as if she wanted to find an interesting program, but she didn't seem to be watching anything, she just kept moving her thumb and pressing the channel tuning button, the picture changed again and again, she felt dizzy , so stopped.

It was getting dark outside, she didn't turn on the lights, an ancient costume movie was playing on TV, the sound of swords clashing rang out in the empty house, the fighting figures of the two were reflected on the glass of the tea table, distorted by the glass , seems somewhat ridiculous.

As soon as the picture turned, there were two people looking for something in the secret room again. After looking through it for a long time, they finally found an ancient character. Both of them were very excited. He opened the scroll and took out a note from inside.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Liu Nian's mind, and she remembered the painting of Su Shi. Could there be something hidden by her father in that scroll?
She was a little excited, and she just wanted to find it immediately, but she had already given the ink to the ink, and she didn't know who gave it to him, how could she find the ink?Also, what if the contents inside are seen by others?
She was a little disturbed, and after thinking about it, she only felt that it would be difficult to wait a second longer. She took out her mobile phone and pressed the number of Ran Zhimo. She hesitated for a while, and pressed the call button. After a short wait, the call was answered Suddenly, Ran Zhimo's unbelievable voice came from the receiver: "Fleeing Years?"

After a few seconds of silence, she responded softly, "Do you have time?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Yes", she paused, and then said, "I'll go to the hospital to find you."

After finding Zhimo's ward, no one stopped her this time, she knocked on the door and entered.Zhi Mo was the only one in the room. When she entered, he was looking at the ceiling. Perhaps he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "You're here."

She didn't talk nonsense, and straight to the point said the purpose of her visit: "I want to get back that pair of Su Shi's words, after all last time..." She felt a little guilty, "After all, I just borrowed from you last time."

He looked a bit surprised, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Lend me?"

She didn't dare to look into his eyes, and turned her eyes elsewhere, she said: "Yes, look, that picture is so expensive, you don't think I'm giving it to you, do you?"

"That's exactly what I thought."

It seemed that he had really given away that calligraphy, and she was a little impatient: "Is there any way to get that calligraphy back?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly curious, "Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

"That picture is very important to me. In this life, there are always some things that cannot be given up." She smiled suddenly, "The secretary probably can't understand it?" She said this on purpose, and then saw The change in his face, she seemed to have a great sense of accomplishment.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he said in a low voice, "I see." Turning over and putting on his shoes, he said to her, "Come with me."

She didn't understand what he was going to do, "If you need someone, just give me a call and I'll go."

He shook his head, but didn't answer the conversation, he just stood up and wanted to go out.Firstly, Fleeting Nian was worried about his health, and secondly, he didn't understand that if he gave the word to the mayor of another city, where would he take her to find it now, so he said again: "You call someone else first. Give me a call and ask, it's useless for you to go out in such a hurry!"

"No need." His voice was not loud, but he was extremely firm. She was stunned for a moment, and a guess emerged in her mind. She felt her heart beat a lot faster, and walked out with him without saying a word. talk.

Since Ran Zhimo didn't wear a hospital gown, there was no difficulty in getting out of the hospital. He stopped a taxi and reported the address of the house where the two lived together in college. Her heartbeat became more and more urgent. Nervousness and uneasiness were intertwined, and the speed of the car was not very fast, so she felt a little motion sickness at the end of the ride.

After getting out of the car and walking into the building, Ran Zhimo walked in front, telling her every little change here like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, he said: "Liu Nian, do you know that the pot of cactus you raised later It actually bloomed, and I often look at the flower and feel that it really looks like you, so you should go and see it later!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fleeting Years to answer, he continued: "The one upstairs is so beautiful. The little girl who likes to come to play at home has already passed the college entrance examination. You used to tell her that C is good, and she really went to C university. I asked you about you before and asked you to take her there. Visit the campus, by the way, the old town is rebuilt, this area will probably be demolished next year..."

There was no tit-for-tat, no deliberate harm, a rare situation after returning from Fleeting Years, she followed Zhi Mo, walked and listened all the way, only felt that her eye sockets were too shallow, and she wanted to cry.

He said home, their former home, was a beautiful word, but it is not there now, but it will be gone completely next year.

The cactus she had raised for two years finally bloomed, but she was gone. It was not she who raised the cactus covered in thorns, but him.

When he reached the floor, he took out the key, opened the door and went in. She followed behind him all the time, lowering her head, refusing to let him see her red eyes.

Taking out the rolled characters from the drawer in the bedroom, Zhimo brought it to Fleeting Years. Although Fleeting Years had guessed beforehand, he couldn't help being surprised when he really saw the characters in front of him. I only heard Zhi Mo seriously say word by word: "Liu Nian, there are some things, not just that you can't give up."

The clenched hand couldn't help clenching even tighter, and there was a slight "creak" sound from the joints. His eyes fell on her, as if he was about to burn her. She backed away, trying to escape, but in the end she stretched out her hand to hold her. Holding the scroll, he said politely: "Thank you."

She wanted to take it, but he didn't let go, but was able to hold the scroll firmly.She tried twice to no avail, and finally raised her head to look at him questioningly, but was shocked by the brilliance in his eyes, his lips parted slightly, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Liu Nian, come back to me."

This sentence was completely beyond Fleeting Nian's expectations. After a few seconds of sluggishness, she dared not look into his eyes anymore, and moved her gaze elsewhere. She took a deep breath hard, trying to suppress the sourness that kept coming up, But the tears still fell down, at first they were just a few drops, and gradually became a string, with just one sentence, she was already on the verge of collapse.

The hand holding the scroll gradually loosened, and her body slowly descended, trying to curl up together, but he first circled her and brought her into his arms. She resisted and struggled desperately, using all her hands and feet , but he did not block, allowing her to fight.

The fists that fell on him became less and less powerful, and the frequency became rarer. She still couldn't bear it, but she was unwilling to calm down. She remembered the difficulties she had when she first came to a foreign country alone. Eating instant noodles, she was about to spit it out. At that time, she missed him so much, and the dishes he cooked, even the bean sprouts, which she disliked the most, were so worth nostalgic for. But at that time, where was he and why? Don't come to her and say "come back to me" to her?
At that time, it was hard to find a job. Those celebrities were so big and difficult to serve. They were all arrogant and domineering over her. She would often think of him and her Zhimo. She thought secretly in her heart, her Mo is much stronger than them all, but her Zhi Mo doesn't want her anymore.

When she had a fever, she didn't dare to ask for leave. She struggled alone and ran around. She wished that someone could listen to her tell all the grievances she had suffered that day when she finally crawled back to the basement she rented. Fantasizing that he was by her side, fantasizing that he would love her dearly, she murmured in a low voice, and she couldn't help crying as she spoke. There was no him in the small basement.If he was here, he would definitely not let her suffer these grievances.

But it's all over, it's all over, the sad, lonely, and miserable things are all over, she finally waited until they were willing to let her go, it was hard for her to adapt to living alone, and finally she was willing to face her. To have to leave his reality, go back?
"It's impossible," she rested her chin lightly on Zhi Mo's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "It's been impossible for a long time, I'm living well by myself."

Even if I feel uncomfortable when I see you, even if I think of your angry appearance when drinking, even if I know you are in trouble, I can’t help but want to help you, even if I hear that you are sick, I feel worried, even if I am alone People live in empty houses, and I'm fine by myself.

She was in his arms, but she seemed to say so casually and indifferently: Impossible.

His whole heart couldn't help curling up, he hugged her even harder, thinking about not letting her go for the rest of his life, after so many years since she left, he was always thinking, if he didn't let her go at the airport seven years ago, what would happen now , but in the end, he had to let go.

Once, now, in the end, he could only smile slightly, with endless bitterness, "That's fine."

It's okay to just say it, because there is no other way.He stretched out his hand and stroked her broken hair behind her ears, and said with a smile, "then, from now on, take care of yourself!"

Tears fell down again, she didn't dare to blink or speak, but his cool fingers gently touched her eyes, piercing her disguise quietly, after a long time, he sighed Said: "Liu Nian, promise me, no matter what you find, don't hand it over, let alone try to trade it for anything!"

Fleeting Nian couldn't help being surprised, he was so sharp, she almost wondered if he knew the reason why she wanted to reply this letter, she didn't know what to say for a moment, she just looked at him blankly.

"Also, fleeting time, this period of time..." He seemed to want to tell her something, but he couldn't say clearly, he just said: "Remember to protect yourself."
