The difficulty of traveling does not lie in the water or the mountains, but in the repeated human relationships. -Bai Juyi

Xiaoqing's face turned pale after receiving Bernard's call. Although she knew what the content was without Ruochu, she was still shocked by her godmother's expression and state at this moment. This basically no longer required
What was certain? She was sure from the beginning that her godmother must love Uncle Bernard, but Uncle Bernard said that this was a big deal and he didn't want to force her in the slightest, so Ruochu agreed to cooperate with him in doing this.
She wants to help Bernard confirm whether Xiaoqing really loves him and is willing to marry him.
"Godmother, are you okay?" Ruochu asked worriedly, because Xiaoqing's expression was somewhat dazed at the moment and she didn't know what she was thinking. At this moment, the two of them were standing at the door of an optical shop.
"Well, it's okay, let's go." Xiaoqing put her cell phone into her bag with difficulty, lowered her head and softly replied to Ruochu. She took a step forward, but her body swayed twice, and she reached out to Ruochu.
While helping her, she also supported the pillar next to her with her hands.
"Godmother, what's wrong with you?" Ruochu has never seen this formation before. If Godmother really has some shortcomings, she is basically not the principal culprit but also an accomplice.
Xiaoqing sighed, "It's okay. Maybe it's the heat-related vertigo that happened again. It's an old problem. I have some medicine at home. Let's go back. Ruoruo, can you come and drive?"
"But, do you really don't need to go to the hospital? Do you want me to call daddy?" Although Xiaoqing emphasized that it was an old problem, why had Ruochu never seen her godmother behave like this in so many years, so she was worried that she was trying to be brave.
"It's okay. Let's go back. I don't want to see anyone else now." Xiaoqing said with a frown.
Ruochu finally sent Xiaoqing home and saw her lying on the bed after taking the medicine. Ruochu stood beside her with a deep frown and her fingers twisted together unconsciously, looking like she had just made a mistake.
primary school student standing in front of teacher.
"What's wrong, Ruoruo? Godmother may not be able to cook for you today..." Xiaoqing looked at Ruochu's appearance and tried her best to smile.
"Godmother, tell me, do you really not care? Are you really willing to give up like this?" Ruochu sat down on the bed and looked into Xiaoqing's eyes and asked seriously.
Xiaoqing looked at Ruochu with a blank expression, as if she didn't understand what she meant, and Ruochu just looked at her straightly. Now it's time for her to face her feelings, otherwise she wouldn't know
How long will it take to avoid it? Since the surgery has already been performed, let’s simply complete the operation to avoid pain for the second or third time in the future.
"Ruoruo, you don't understand..." Xiaoqing didn't seem to want to talk about this issue and turned her face to the side.
"Do you really not love Uncle Bernard? Do you really not care if he marries someone else? Godmother, are you really willing to lose him just before your eyes? Don't you want to save him?" Ruochu's emotions at this time
I was also a little excited, it was no longer just a performance, it was completely inspired. My godmother has always acted resolutely, but only in this matter, she looked anxious for her.
"Ruoruo, my godmother is no longer the godmother I used to be. At that time, I could risk everything and go for whatever I wanted. But what happened? It's not that I didn't get anything. Now that my godmother is so old, what's the point?
If I go to such trouble for this little thing, even I will look down on myself, as if no man can afford it, do you understand?"
"But, you love him, don't you? Shouldn't we strive for love?" Ruochu had forgotten that she was arguing with a lawyer.
"So what about love? What could I do if I loved your dad so much? Xiaoqing closed her eyes after saying this, indicating that she was tired, and Ruochu had no way to continue. If it wasn't for dad
If you fall in love with your mother, your godmother won’t have to be alone for so many years, right?
After a while, he said, "Godmother, please take a rest first. I'll cook some porridge for you. I won't leave tonight." After Ruochu finished speaking, he saw that Xiaoqing didn't respond, so he thought she was asleep, so he went to cook for himself.
By the way, I called my dad to tell him that I was here and not going back.
In the evening, when the medicine took effect, Xiaoqing was indeed much better, and her dizziness symptoms were no longer so severe. Ruochu coaxed her to drink some porridge, and then Xiaoqing lay on the bed with her eyes closed again. Ruochu thought she was
She didn't bother her anymore when she was sleeping, and later she lay down next to her. They had been sleeping like this since they were little. After a hard day's work during the day, Ruochu was also tired, so she fell asleep unknowingly.
At night, because of the change of place and worry about Xiaoqing, Ruo didn't sleep well at first. When he woke up, he found that his godmother was not in the bed. She didn't know where she was. After listening carefully, there seemed to be a sound in the living room.
Ruochu hurriedly got up and followed the sound. When her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she found her godmother curled up in a corner of the sofa, holding her knees with her arms, crying. The cry was kept as low as possible, so she couldn't hear it.
It sounds very depressing.
Ruochu hurriedly walked up to Xiaoqing and said, "Ruoruo, I've fallen in love with him. I'm ready to give up everything to be with him. No matter what, I plan to leave the rest of my life to him, but he doesn't want me anymore."
, what will I do with the rest of my life? I brought it upon myself and deserved it. I regret it now and regret not agreeing to him earlier, but it’s too late, it’s never too late..." Xiaoqing finished intermittently,
The suppressed crying finally turned into a hearty tilt. She had suppressed it for too long. The feeling of seeing happiness so close but then passing by is really beyond words.
Ruochu's tears came out all of a sudden. She hugged Xiaoqing, caressing her back and said to herself: "There is time for everything. Believe me, everything will be fine."
,Most definitely……"
Now, you can make any decision.
When Ruochu arrived at the office the next day, he first had a phone call with Bernard, and then went to find Xiaochuan.
"Humbert, I want to do a special topic. I want to go on a business trip to England. Let me tell you. It will take about three to five days." This plan has not been successful yet, and Ruochu doesn't plan to let others know, even if
It's Daddy.
"Oh? Why Britain?" Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very interested in where Ruochu was going.
"Well, it's like this. I watched a series of movies called "Harry Potter" when I was a kid. I reviewed it again recently and really want to go to the filming location. What do you think? Are you interested, Humbert?" Ruochu
I had an idea and made up a reason, but this reason was very reliable. I wanted to go out first and talk about it. The topic was just an excuse, but it was not bad to just do this topic. Not to mention, Bernard was really good at choosing places. She also
You can really take care of your work and personal affairs at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, have a nice journey." Xiaochuan didn't ask in detail, but Ruochu always felt that he seemed to know something, so forget it, never mind, the next step was to convince Xiaoqing.
——
"Godmother, I need your help with something." Ruochu ran to Xiaoqing's place as soon as she got off work. She just came in and said while changing her slippers.
Xiaoqing's complexion has improved a lot. She has no problem going to work or anything else. She can no longer tell her emotions. She just feels dazed occasionally and doesn't talk as much as before.
"Let's talk about it. Why are you so polite to your godmother?" Xiaoqing took the bag from Ruochu's hand and patted her back.
"Godmother, I have to go on a business trip. I don't feel comfortable going to my father's house by myself. Can you accompany me?" Ruochu hugged one of Xiaoqing's arms and said coquettishly.
Xiaoqing frowned. It was not impossible to accompany Ruochu. She was thinking about how to arrange the work at hand.
"Okay, godmother, it's time for you to relax." If Ruochu continued to shake Xiaoqing's arm like a child, she knew that this move would work.
"Okay, godmother will go with you. The meal is ready, go and eat quickly." Xiaoqing shook her head helplessly. Ruochu smiled, kissed Xiaoqing, and went to the kitchen, "By the way, Ruoruo, you want
Where are you going on a business trip?" Xiaoqing asked from behind.
"England." Ruochu replied casually, and the bag in Xiaoqing's hand suddenly fell to the ground. Ruochu turned around when he heard the voice, "What's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing..." Xiaoqing hurriedly picked up the bag that fell on the ground. To her, Britain used to be a small patch on the map, but now it has a different meaning. It was a place where he was, that was
The place where he and another woman were about to get married was a place she instinctively wanted to escape from, but she had just agreed to Ruochu and couldn't go back on it.
Ruochu didn't know what Xiaoqing was thinking, but she pretended to turn a blind eye. Just hold on, godmother, as long as you hold on, everything will be fine.
——
"Ruoruo, why don't we stop in London?" Xiaoqing looked at Ruochu holding a camera to the left of a large banner that read "Hogwarts Express 9 and 3/4" at the "King's Cross" train station.
She took the right photo, and finally asked Xiaoqing to take a picture of her. Xiaoqing was surprised that when she arrived in London, she had to catch the train right away and at least take a break, but Ruochu seemed to be in a hurry.
of.
"Hey, I'm in a hurry to get to Hogwarts. Let's go, the train is coming." Ruochu didn't even explain, but pulled Xiaoqing and boarded the train to Gloucester.
Xiaoqing is now completely led by Ruochu. Ruochu doesn't say where she goes. It's mysterious. However, Xiaoqing is not in the mood to ask. She knows that Ruochu wants to take her out to relax and divert her attention.
, was well-intentioned, and it was just an excuse for her to need someone to accompany her on a business trip. Didn't she not blink an eye last time when she went to the United States alone? But she couldn't bear to brush off her good intentions. Even though she was actually very depressed, she still tried her best to show off.
Looks interested.
Actually, thinking about it, I haven't lost anything. Haven't I already planned to be single? Just pretend I've never met Bernard. Besides, I'm not completely lonely. Don't I have such a big daughter?
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and paid attention to the scenery outside the window. At this time, Ruochu pulled her and said, "Godmother, we are here."
