25 -Â Why don't you stay tonight?
Even though it was close to nine o'clock, the streets were still busy and the traffic was still flowing. At this moment, there was the sound of engines, the noise of pedestrians, and the beating of the heart like a drum.
ââI should participate in such an important day for you.
Just such a sentence echoed repeatedly in Cheng Li's mind at this moment.
Cheng Li remembered the WeChat message she had sent him before.
Is it because of that WeChat message? ?
"Are you back from Beijing?" Cheng Li suddenly asked.
Rong Qi looked at her: "That's not the case."
So!
Did he fly back to Shanghai from Beijing because of her WeChat message?
This realization made Cheng Li feel dazed and her heartbeat soared again.
I know I shouldn't think so wildly.
But when I thought about it, he came back to Shanghai from thousands of miles away and appeared in front of her just for a word from her.
It seems that if we dig deeper, we will discover something remarkable.
Cheng Li took a deep breath.
She asked in a low voice: "Have you eaten?"
But when she asked this question, she looked from the open door to the passenger seat of the car.
On top was a bag of freshly opened bread and half a bottle of mineral water.
He hadn't said anything yet, but Cheng Li had already seen it clearly.
"Wait for me." Cheng Li dropped these two words, turned around and ran back to the store.
When she ran all the way back to the lobby, because they were gathering, the cafeteria did not have a large enough private room, so they were all arranged in the lobby.
As soon as Cheng Li appeared, Zuo Qingqing said: "Sister Centimeter, come on, your favorite cheese-baked prawns are here again."
"Mr. Ren, I'm sorry, mine is gone," Cheng Li picked up the bag.
Ren Kuang was startled and shouted, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Cheng Li approached him and whispered, "Someone is coming to pick me up."
Ren Kuang understood now and didn't say anything else.
On the contrary, other people in the team, somewhat reluctantly, shouted: "Engineer, why are you leaving so early?"
"Sorry, sorry, it's really a special situation. I'll treat everyone to afternoon tea tomorrow. Whatever you want, whatever you want ." "Point."
Seeing that she was really anxious and said such words, no one stopped her.
Cheng Li completed the entire process of returning to the restaurant, picking up her bag, and leaving in almost a few minutes.
When she ran back out of breath, Rong Qi did not return to the car and sit down.
He was still standing by the car.
Really do what she said.
Wait for her.
"Shall we go have dinner?" Cheng Li stood in front of him, her eyes shining brightly.
Rong Qi chuckled: "No need to run so fast, I will wait for you."
Cheng Li pursed her lips and shook her head: "You have been waiting for so long, I just ran two steps."
Her words made Rong Qi instantly , fell into a certain emotion.
For a long time, he lowered his eyes and whispered: "I have been waiting longer than you think." It
was so long that even he forgot what a long time it was.
Cheng Li, who didn't know the truth, thought he had been waiting outside the restaurant for a long time.
As a result, she felt more and more guilty and said bluntly: "You can make any requests later, and I won't say anything."
"Really?" Rong Qi glanced at her sideways.
Cheng Li, who had just praised Haikou, felt guilty for no reason.
But soon, the two got in the car and left the restaurant.
After getting on the bus, Cheng Li looked at Rong Qi and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Rong Qi looked straight ahead and asked calmly, "Do you know where I came back from?"
"Beijing," although Cheng Li didn't know why, But still answered truthfully.
"Then what do you think I would like to eat more?"
Hey.
This person even played riddles?
But Cheng Li still guessed to save face: "Home-cooked food?"
"Smart."
At this time, Rong Qi's car had already started.
Apparently heading towards his home.
Cheng Li was sitting in the car, quite quiet, but she felt a little funny in her heart.
If this was another man, taking the girl home at every turn, she would definitely feel uneasy.
But this person is Rong Qi.
Even though the two of them have already received their certificates and have legal identities.
But Rongqi had never done anything out of line to Cheng Li.
She had a natural trust in this man.
When the two arrived at the house, Cheng Li found that even if Rong Qi was not around, the house was still spotless, clean and gorgeous. Compared with the surprise when they first met last time, she suddenly felt that the house was very cold.
Cheng Li's community is a bit older, and the decoration is not the light luxury European style that is the most fashionable at the moment.
But it is very warm, and everywhere in the house are memories of their family of three.
There is a small gift that Teacher Ling brought back when he went on a trip.
There are souvenirs issued by Cheng Dingbo's work unit.
There are also medals that Cheng Li has received since childhood.
The place where Rong Qi lived was just a house. It was very gorgeous, but there was no personal trace of him.
Even if he hasn't come back for so long, this house is still bright and beautiful, and nothing will change because of his presence or absence.
"What's wrong?" Rong Qi saw her standing motionless in the living room.
Cheng Li: "I think if I say it, you will probably laugh at me."
Rong Qi looked directly at her: "No."
He said he couldn't, but he really couldn't.
So Cheng Li said, "I just feel that there is no trace of you in your house. I feel that no matter whether you are here or not, this house will always be so beautiful and clean."
"It's not popular, is it?" Rong Qi looked over and whispered. He smiled and said, "My grandma said the same thing when she came here."
Rong Qi glanced around the house and said, "She said my house didn't look like a place for people to live in."
"Huh?" Cheng Li didn't expect that, and asked Grandma's comments will be so sharp.
"She means, it's like a model room, you can only look at it."
Oh, that's what it meant.
Cheng Li nodded in agreement.
"This is also the reason why she keeps urging me to get married," Rong Qi tilted his head and said word by word: "This family needs a mistress."
Cheng Li held back, trying to control his expression.
But his cheeks started to turn red.
"Let's... cook, you must be very hungry already." Cheng Li walked towards the kitchen as if he was running away.
Rong Qi stood behind him and smiled softly.
Because it was too late, Cheng Li ordered him a pack of noodles. Fortunately, there was meat at home. After defrosting, Cheng Li cut the meat into shreds and made a simple vegetable and pork noodles.
The two of them were sitting at the dining table. Cheng Li's bowl was small.
In front of Rong Qi was a large bowl covered with vegetables and shredded pork.
He took a bite and Cheng Li watched carefully.
"It tastes very good."
Cheng Li held her chin in her hands and boasted, "Do I still have some cooking skills?"
"Just a little?" Rong Qi raised his eyelids slightly and said slowly: "Too modest, it's a lot. "
Cheng Li was filled with joy: "You are quite good at complimenting others. "
"Just tell the truth," Rong Qi said in a shy tone.
Cheng Li laughed and lowered his head to eat the noodles in his bowl.
While they were eating, there was a sudden crackling sound outside the window, and soon heavy rain came. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, the whole world seems to be covered with a veil. The originally unobstructed view of the Huangpu River is now dimmed in the heavy rain.
After the two of them finished eating, the heavy rain not only showed no signs of slowing down, but became heavier and heavier.
And along with the heavy rain, the sky was filled with thunder.
Rumble.
It seemed like the whole sky was going to explode.
"Is it possible that someone is here to survive the disaster tonight?" Cheng Li recalled that there was such a heavy rain in the first half of this year. At that time, many people posted this in the circle of friends.
Rong Qi packed up and came over.
The two of them stood in front of the window, watching the heavy rain outside.
At this moment, no one spoke.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Li lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"It's raining heavily outside," suddenly, Rong Qi spoke first.
Cheng Li nodded. It was indeed too big, but it was time for her to go home. She was ready to say goodbye.
Rong Qi: "I took a long flight today and drove a car again."
Cheng Li was stunned and realized for a moment that he meant he was very tired, right?
"Don't send me off, I'll just call a car and go back." Cheng Li didn't think Rong Qi was ungentlemanly at all. On the contrary, she was quite happy that he could say it directly. After all, there was no need for such politeness between them. .
Rong Qi suddenly smiled and whispered: "What I mean is, why don't you stay tonight."
There was a bang outside and a thunder on the ground.
The sound of explosion resounded throughout the sky.
Rong Qi's smile suddenly froze, and the end of his eyebrows unconsciously raised.
Before Cheng Li could recover from the shock of Rong Qi letting her stay, she saw Rong Qi's obviously startled reaction to the thunder. In an instant, she understood something: "Are you afraid of thunder?"
"..."
After a while, Rong Qi seemed to be holding something back and nodded slowly: "It's true."
Seeing his expression, Cheng Li quickly comforted him and said: "Actually, it's okay to be afraid of thunder. I used to do the same, and my mother would tell her when there was a thunder. Sleep with me."
Wait.
she! exist! explain! Varied! What!
Rong Qi raised his eyes and looked over, and Cheng Li immediately explained: "That's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?" He raised his lips slightly and asked with a half-smile.
what.
She was obviously trying to comfort him, so why did she fall into the trap herself now?
Cheng Li was speechless.
"But I didn't bring anything," Cheng Li changed the subject.
Rong Qi: "I have them all at home."
Cheng Li looked at him in shock. Rong Qi laughed and said, "Don't look like that. Auntie helped prepare these."
"Why did Auntie prepare these?" Cheng Li asked.
She wasn't curious, she just wanted to know why her aunt prepared all this.
Rong Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a drawl: "Because, I'm married."
Cheng Li: "..."
Cheng Li was taken to the door of the room, and then she realized that this room was indeed very different from the last time she came here. Big difference. It's obviously a lot more girly. The sheets are not the dark color before, but a warm pink with little fluffy balls on them.
"Auntie, she is so girly," Cheng Li sighed.
Rong Qi had already opened the cabinet and said directly: "The pajamas and other clothes are here."
Cheng Li nodded.
"You take a look first, I'll go out and take a call."
After Rong Qi finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
Cheng Li opened the drawer inside the cabinet and found that there were clean underwear.
Stack them in rows.
When she went to the dressing area, she found that there were also many big-name skin care products on display here.
Some of them even Cheng Li herself would be reluctant to buy.
After a while, Cheng Li's cell phone rang.
Rong Qi: [Auntie said that the clothes have been washed and you can wear them directly. ã
Cheng Li;ãOkay. ]
Cheng Li walked around and found that this room also had its own bathroom, and the toiletries inside were all clean and unopened.
She still had her mobile phone in her hand, so she came to WeChat and found out immediately.
Rong Qi: [Is there anything else you're missing? ]
Rong Qi: [I'll let Auntie prepare it again. ã
Cheng Li: ãNo need, Auntie has thought carefully about it and there is nothing missing. ]
Rong Qi: [That's good. ã
Cheng Li: ãThank you auntie for me. ]
After a long time, Rong Qi's WeChat message finally came: [Auntie said, you're welcome. ]
Cheng Li pursed her lips and finally laughed out loud alone in the room.
It seemed that there would be no awkwardness between the two of them if they were separated by an aunt.
When Cheng Li came out of the shower, she looked around the room.
Finally ready to lift the quilt and go to bed.
But there was a knock at the door.
"Here we come," Cheng Li said quickly, immediately put on her slippers and went to open the door.
She opened the door and saw Rong Qi, wearing dark blue striped pajamas, standing in front of her. His hair was also wet, as if he had just taken a shower.
Suddenly I saw such a homely side of him.
Cheng Li was so shocked that she felt as if the two of them had suddenly entered into a special relationship.
After all, being able to see each other in pajamas must be a very close relationship.
Rong Qi held a glass in his hand with milk in it.
"Milk helps you sleep," he handed over the milk.
Cheng Li reached out to take it and whispered, "Thank you."
Rong Qi looked at her hair which was still a little wet and asked, "Isn't there a hair dryer?"
"Yes, yes." There is a Dyson latest hair dryer in the bathroom. Cheng Li explained: "I have too much hair, and it takes a long time to dry it every time. And blowing it half dry is better for my hair."
Rong Qi nodded, as if he didn't quite understand this theory.
He asked in a low voice: "Are you used to all the things you use?"
Cheng Li thought for a moment and said, "Auntie has pretty good taste."
The two of them stood on both sides of the door. The tiles at the door were like a tile. Boundary, he stood outside the door, she was inside the door.
Until Rong Qi whispered: "Good night"
"Good night." Cheng Li replied.
"Go in," Rong Qi said, then turned and returned to his room.
Cheng Li closed the door.
She lowered her head and looked at the lock under the doorknob, but in the end she didn't reach out to lock it.
That night, she didn't have the anxiety that she had imagined.
Maybe it was really that glass of milk that helped me sleep.
The next morning, Cheng Li woke up before seven o'clock.
She hurriedly washed herself, picked a piece of clothing from a relatively ordinary brand from the cabinet, and changed into it.
She unscrewed the door and first quietly poked her head in, looking around.
As a result, she found that the whole house was quiet.
Originally, Cheng Li thought it was Rong Qi who didn't wake up at this point.
When she walked around the living room, she found that Rong Qi's shoes were missing from the entrance.
She quickly turned around and saw a piece of paper on the dining room table.
Cheng Li walked over and picked it up to take a look.
ââ"I went to Beijing and will come back at the weekend."
The signature was written with the two characters "Rong Qi" in full swing.
gone?
Cheng Li should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt more empty in the end.
When she put the note back on the table, she suddenly realized something.
He really came back just for her.
