Ning Chengxu was stunned: "Why are you calling so late? Your voice...is you sick?"
Gu Wanwan concealed something: "No, the weather has been bad recently and my throat is not feeling well. I have received everything you sent me. You can send me whatever I need. Brother Xu, you are so kind!"
Gu Wanwan on the other end seemed to be busy, a little noisy, and her answers were intermittent.
"I haven't called you for a long time, brother Xu. Since we left last time, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
It has been several days since I left the fishing village, and it has indeed been a long time since I last saw him.
Ning Chengxu said softly "Hmm" with a calm attitude.
Gu Wanwan coquettishly said: "Brother Xu, you buy so many things every time. I seem to be doing wholesale. In fact, I just mention it casually. Don't just worry about me. You should also take good care of yourself."
"Okay, these are all small things, just a little effort. Just think of it as my thanks for your life-saving grace."
"I know! I'm busy first! There's someone here..."
Ning Chengxu didn't hear the next words clearly.
Gu Wanwan seemed very tired and busy.
The phone was suddenly hung up, and he didn't take it seriously. After calling Gu Wanwan like this, he felt that his depressed mood was relieved a lot.
Mavis outside the door heard the whole process.
She was holding a cup of coffee and originally wanted to chat with Ning Chengxu, but when she got to the door and heard his gentle voice, her hand that was about to knock on the door stopped midway.
He has never been so careful about himself.
The more Mavis thought about it, the more pathetic she felt, and she was stunned.
It wasn't until Ning Chengxu finished the phone call that she calmed down.
He and Gu Wanwan have always been in contact?
It turns out that for such a long time, she was the most unnecessary one.

In the days that followed, although Mavis and Ning Chengxu were under the same roof, they were like strangers.
Even if he didn't look up and looked down, he still wouldn't say a word.
Winter is coming, and the children are about to go on winter vacation.
Meiwei Si went to school to hold a parent-teacher conference for En En and Nian Nian.
When she came out from the parent-teacher meeting, Niannian asked her: "Qian Mama, are you sick? Your face doesn't look good."
It is said that children's intuition is accurate, and Mavis thought so at first, but Nian Nian didn't get it right this time.
"Gan Mama is not sick, thank you Niannian for your concern."
Lu Nianqing was a little confused. She always felt something was strange, but she couldn't put it in words. She looked at the dry mom in front of her and looked at each other with her brother.
On the way back to the car, Nian Nian asked for something to eat.
Mavis was helpless: "I really admire you two little guys. Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."
Lu Nianqing thought about it for a while and asked her brother what he wanted to eat.
Ji Enshi shook his head, as cold as ever: "Anything is fine."
Lu Nianqing curled his lips: "Brother, Mom doesn't like people who always answer casually."
Ji Enshi said coldly: "Mama is not here."
Nian Nian couldn't resist him, so she turned around and continued to think about what to eat.
After thinking for a while, Nian Nian said: "Gang Ma Ma, I want to eat durian."
"OK."
durian?
Meiwei thought about the taste of durian, and for some reason, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
The churning feeling in her stomach, as if everything she ate was being stirred up.
"parking."
Mavis said to the driver.
When the car stopped, Mavis hurried to the trash can on the roadside and started retching.
She vomited for a long time, and although nothing came out, the uncomfortable feeling still lingered around her.
Thinking back for a moment, Mavis felt that she didn't seem to have eaten anything bad, so why did she suddenly start vomiting?
Behind them, Lu Nianqing and Ji Enshi were thoughtful.
The two children looked at each other.
Ji Enshi said nothing.
Lu Nianqing asked directly: "Brother, are you thinking the same as me?"
"Um."
With her brother's approval, Nian Nian became more sure of what she was thinking.
When Mavis returned to the car, Lu Nianqing asked her: "Qian Mama, should you go to the hospital for a physical check-up?"
"I'm fine."
Mavis smiled and said, "I should just eat bad things and go back and take some medicine."
