At dawn, Xu Rongrong woke up. She was leaning on the bed with her left arm supporting her, looking at the clothes with a gentle look on her face.
It's like facing the person you love deeply.
a long time.
It wasn't until the entire Zhan family turned from quiet to busy and everyone had gotten up that she reluctantly sat up, packed the clothes and put them in the closet, and then placed a light kiss on them.
That look seemed like he was saying goodbye to his lover.
She closed the cupboard, dressed as usual, brushed her teeth and washed her face. It was a very normal action, but the person who accompanied her to brush her teeth and wash her face was no longer there.
Xu Rongrong looked stunned for a moment, then returned to normal after a moment.
She half lowered her eyes to cover up the sparkle inside, pretending as if nothing had happened. After washing, she left the room.
As expected, everyone in the Zhan family was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her.
Xu Rongrong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, parents, I got up late again today and asked you to wait for me to eat. If I get up very late in the future, you don't have to wait for me."
"How could it be possible? Rongrong, you didn't get up too late. We had just sat down and you came, but you just came across the bridge." Liang Shuxian walked over with a smile, took Xu Rongrong's hand, and pressed her down.
On the seat.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." She glanced at Xu Rongrong secretly, checking that Xu Rongrong's expression was normal, and then confidently shouted to everyone that it was time to eat.
Others picked up their chopsticks to eat. Zhan Yilin also stared at the two huge dark circles under her eyes, lowered her head and ate silently.
Xu Rongrong thought for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a soup dumpling, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"It's the three-flavor steamed buns. Yiyang likes them the most." Xu Rongrong felt that today's soup dumplings tasted really good, so he couldn't help but say.
As soon as the words came out, everyone felt sad. Zhan Yilin's hand holding the chopsticks even shook several times.
Finally, it was Chen Haoran who put his arms around her shoulders and made the chopsticks stop trembling.
Xu Rongrong also lowered his head, his expression dark and unclear.
She didn't mean to say that sentence, it was just out of habit. The moment she said it, she realized that it was something she shouldn't have said.
"Sorry, Yiyang, you should be able to eat this kind of buns in City S. Let's continue eating." In order not to further affect everyone's emotions, Xu Rongrong paused and then said in a slightly weird voice.
That weirdness was just caused by her controlling her sore nose.
However, everyone else was lost in their own thoughts, and no one noticed anything unusual about Xu Rongrong.
Although the children didn't know what was going on, they felt that the atmosphere was not right, so they didn't say anything and ate in silence with their heads down.
The whole restaurant was quiet for a long time, but Liang Shuxian was the first to react. She smiled reluctantly and then said softly to Xu Rongrong, "Rongrong is right, Yiyang will eat these buns.
Let’s ignore him and eat ours first.”
After saying that, he took three buns and gave them to the three children respectively. Then he turned around and went to feed Dongdong and Xixi.
The three older children felt the solemnity in the air, but the little Dongdong and Xixi couldn't feel it. When they saw the food, they started to babble. They were so cute and at the same time broke the restaurant.
of solemnity.
Xu Rongrong lowered his head, ate a few steamed buns without knowing the taste, and then stood up in a hurry, "Mom, I'm going to change clothes. I want to go for a walk later."
After saying that, he lowered his head and returned to the room.
Zhan Yilin stood up worriedly and wanted to pull her, but Chen Haoran shook his head to stop her.
"I think it's a good thing that Rongrong wants to go out for a walk, as long as she doesn't pester her and ask where Yiyang has gone. Moreover, this mission is confidential and no one will reveal it to her." Chen Haoran analyzed it.
,explain.
Although Zhan Yilin didn't agree with it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really the case, so she nodded and sat down silently.
About five minutes later, Xu Rongrong walked out wearing a black business suit, an almost white hat on his head, and carrying a black and white plaid bag.
Because the whole body, including the shoes, are all in neutral colors, at first glance, it looks like a funeral.
Everyone was shocked for a moment, but the next second, they felt much relieved when they saw Xu Rongrong's smile.
If you can laugh, it proves that you don't know. If you don't know, it doesn't matter.
With this thought in mind, everyone in the family watched Xu Rongrong leave the old house.
But after she left, Zhan Yilin's strange feeling from yesterday resurfaced, but she still couldn't find the reason just like yesterday. Although her inner desire for knowledge was already very strong, because she really couldn't know, she just
Can give up.
Let’s talk about Xu Rongrong. She took Mrs. Li’s husband’s car and got out of the car all the way to the city center.
They said they were going shopping, but in fact they were just walking. It would be inconvenient to have a car to accompany them, so as soon as they entered the city center, Xu Rongrong got out of the car.
After telling Sister-in-law Li's husband to go back to his old house and call him if he could answer the call, Xu Rongrong wandered around major shopping malls alone.
Some were still the same styles, and some had already launched this year's latest models. Xu Rongrong looked around, but couldn't see anything.
It's not that those clothes no longer attract her, but the purpose of her coming today is to find Zhan Yiyang's memories and scent, not to go shopping and buy clothes.
Carrying the black and white plaid bag that Zhan Yiyang chose for her, wearing the light beige hat that Zhan Yiyang once praised for its beauty, and wearing the black suit that Zhan Yiyang casually said was good, Xu Rongrong was walking in the city center shopping mall.
in every road.
After walking for a long time, my feet were sore, I was tired, and my eyes were so swollen that I couldn't open them.
Xu Rongrong wiped away her tears and slowly walked out of the mall.
It's nice to be walking among strangers. You're not afraid of someone seeing you crying, you're not afraid of your eyes being red and swollen and being laughed at, and you're not afraid that the endless thoughts will make you want to commit suicide.
Lowering her head, Xu Rongrong slowly walked out of the shopping mall. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a beggar huddled in the corner. She walked forward, took out all the change on her body, and put it in his box.
"If possible, go find a job. After all, you can still work." Looking at the dark-skinned but clear-eyed beggar in front of her, Xu Rongrong vaguely felt that she had seen this beggar somewhere, but now her mind was confused.
There was no way to think about these things. Now she just wanted to find a place to take a good rest.
Putting down the change in his hand, Xu Rongrong carried the black and white plaid bag and left.
And not long after she left, the beggar with clear eyes also stood up and left the place with extraordinary magnanimity.
And Xu Rongrong, after walking endlessly for about twenty minutes, finally found a bench. She smiled slightly, walked over quickly, and sat on the other end of the bench.
The other end seemed to be reserved for someone.
After walking in high heels for two hours, Xu Rongrong's whole body was really sore, and her eyes were getting more and more red and swollen, which made her feel a little scary. She really needed to rest.
Opening the black and white plaid bag and taking out a cold wet wipe from it, Xu Rongrong closed his eyes and put the wet wipe over his eyes.
The cool water penetrated the skin and soothed the red and swollen cells. The comfortable feeling made Xu Rongrong sigh softly.
But soon, the red and swollen eyes that had gradually improved suddenly worsened again.
Xu Rongrong's eyes, which were covered by the wet tissue, couldn't help but leak out a trace of liquid, which wetted the wet tissue and turned the originally cold tissue into a warm wet tissue.
Xu Rongrong did not take away the wet wipes, but just raised his head, letting his tears turn the wet wipes into something that had just been fished out of the water, and then the tears dripped down along his hairline and rested against the bench.
.
Because crying can easily clog the nose, and Xu Rongrong was unable to get up and twist her nose, so she could only open her mouth and take a deep breath, like a drowning person desperately trying to get oxygen to save her life.
A feeling that seemed both uncomfortable and comfortable enveloped her, giving her a feeling of intoxication. At this moment, the pain of the hollow heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
The corners of Xu Rongrong's mouth slowly raised a slight arc.
But at this moment, the wet wipes in front of her eyes were suddenly taken away, and her red and swollen eyes that were still crying were completely exposed to the air.
The warm sunshine turned into a stinging weapon in an instant, making Xu Rongrong unable to avoid it.
"Who?" She shouted angrily and struggled to open her red and swollen eyes, trying to see who had taken away her wet wipes.
The next second, a polite voice appeared in her ears, "Excuse me for disturbing you, miss, but you will only make your eyes more red and swollen. If you want to feel more comfortable, you still need to do this."
After saying that, Xu Rongrong felt his eyes were covered by a pair of cold hands.
The unfamiliar touch of skin, with the unfamiliar smell, Xu Rongrong's first reaction was to struggle, but the steady stream of cool air injected a little bit of vitality into her eyes, and the comfortable feeling made her even move.
Don't want to move.
"You, who are you?" Xu Rongrong asked in a low voice with a trembling voice.
"Miss, I'm just a passerby." The voice seemed a little happy. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Xu Rongrong could imagine that the corners of his mouth should be slightly raised.
"I don't believe it." No passerby would mind his own business, and no passerby would carefully help another passerby use cold hands to reduce the swelling in her eyes that could no longer be opened.
"Haha." The man opposite smiled slightly, his voice was really nice, and Xu Rongrong was slightly startled.
But while she was dazed, the man's hand across from her suddenly moved. Xu Rongrong's first reaction was to raise her head and try to open his hand to avoid the unfamiliar feeling of skin contact.
