After hanging up the phone, Pei Shanshan bought gifts for Ruan Xingwan, Xu Wan, Ruan Chen, and the employees of the studio.
She took out her phone and looked at the time, seven o'clock.
Now that we've passed, it's almost time to board the plane.
Soon, Pei Shanshan got on the plane back to Nancheng.
She sat by the window and looked at the night scene outside, not knowing what she was thinking.
This trip really came and went in a hurry.
But something unexpected happened again.
I was a little impulsive, but I can't say I regretted it.
In that scene, when I heard him say those words, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved.
What's more, people should face their own expectations directly, there is nothing to escape from.
But she also knew very well that even if Daniel liked her, nothing would change.
She knew that he was unmarried, and she had never felt that she was different from his previous girlfriends in this regard.
Anyone who believes in letting Neptune come ashore is a fool.
Even though she is resisting the blind date with her family, she knows in her heart that she will get married in the end.
So there is no need to waste extra emotions.
Short-term happiness is fine, it's better to be simple.
The plane rose into the sky and everything became quiet.
Pei Shanshan closed her eyes and slowly fell into sleep.
…
Nancheng.
At half past eight in the evening, when Zhou Cishen arrived home, Ruan Xingwan had just come out from the shower.
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward and hugged her waist: "Do you know that I'm back?"
Ruan Xingwan pushed his chest: "Don't make trouble. The food is heated in the pot for you. You can eat it yourself. I'm going to bed."
"What time is it?"
"Shanshan's flight will arrive at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'm going to pick her up."
Zhou Ci was silent for two seconds: "Let me, Lin Nan, go."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Forget it, I'll go. Lin Nan doesn't know her very well and it's embarrassing."
"Then I'll go."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She said: "It will be more embarrassing if you go!"
Zhou Cishen said: "I'm with you."
Just as Ruan Xingwan was about to say something, Zhou Cishen said: "Do you think I can trust you to drive to pick her up in the middle of the night?"
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan was speechless.
Quite true.
Zhou Cishen let go of her: "Okay, go to bed. I'll call you when the time comes."
Ruan Xingwan looked at him first, thought for a while and then said: "How about... you send someone to follow me, and you have a good rest."
"It's okay, I can't sleep even if you leave."
Ruan Xingwan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips after hearing this apparently normal sentence. He didn't rush to go to bed, but took out the hot rice for him: "Eat first."
While Zhou Cishen was eating, Ruan Xingwan returned to the room and began to lie on the bed, trying to get sleepy.
But it was too early now, and I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
When Zhou Cishen went in, he saw her turning over and over on the bed.
He walked to the bed, leaned over to support her shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Can't sleep?"
Ruan Xingwan opened his eyes, a little discouraged: "Well... what time is it."
"nine thirty."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She actually spent an hour without falling asleep.
Zhou Cishen lifted her quilt, lowered her head and kissed her: "If you can't sleep, don't sleep."
Ruan Xingwan quickly held his hand that caused trouble: "We will set off at two o'clock, it's too late..."
"It's too late, just once."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
In fact, never believe a man's mouth, especially Zhou Cishen.
By the time it was finished, it was almost twelve o'clock.
Zhou Cishen asked her: "Can you sleep now?"
"...Nothing sleepy."
"Then continue?"
Ruan Xingwan whispered: "You are not afraid that you will die if you run out of energy."
Zhou Cishen's expression remained unchanged: "In order to have a child, you should pay a little bit."
Ruan Xingwan fell silent when he mentioned this.
She has been taking this medicine for so long, almost every night...
But still no good news came.
Although Jiang Yuan said that this kind of thing should not be rushed.
But... no matter how much I try to comfort myself, I still can't feel calm.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhou Cishen knew what she was thinking, hugged her and said, "Have you ever thought about the possibility that the reason why you didn't get pregnant is because we didn't work hard enough?
The more times you do it, the better your chances will be."
Ruan Xingwan was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and turned off the light: "Sleep!"
It was indeed getting late now, and the amount of exercise just now made Ruan Xingwan brew for a while, and he soon felt sleepy.
But she felt that just as she closed her eyes, Zhou Cishen seemed to be calling her.
Ruan Xingwan turned over, buried her head on his chest, and whispered in her mouth: "I want to sleep a little longer."
Zhou Cishen gently rubbed her head: "It's already half past two."
Ruan Xingwan seemed to be asleep and did not answer.
Thirty seconds later, she suddenly stood up from Zhou Cishen's arms, bleary-eyed and a little dizzy: "What time did you say?"
"Two thirty."
Zhou Cishen pulled her back again, "If you are very sleepy, I will let Lin Nan go."
Ruan Xingwan got out of bed and put on his clothes: "No, I'll just go."
Just when she was looking for underwear everywhere, a hand next to her handed her over.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She took it and quickly put it on.
When she went out, Zhou Cishen brought her a coat.
It normally takes 40 minutes to get to the airport from here.
There was no one around at night and there were few cars. When we arrived, it was just a little after three o'clock.
On the way, Ruan Xingwan couldn't help it and fell asleep again.
When the car arrived at the airport, Ruan Xingwan yawned and called Pei Shanshan: "Shanshan, are you out yet?"
Pei Shanshan said: "I just got my luggage and will be out soon."
"Okay, we'll wait for you in the parking lot."
"We..." Pei Shanshan said tentatively, "Is Mr. Zhou coming?"
Ruan Xingwan explained: "He said he was worried about me driving alone at night, so... he came."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm so honored to have Mr. Zhou pick me up in person. I'll run out right away!"
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Take your time."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cishen lowered the window and asked calmly: "I remember she was only gone for a few days, why did she come back so soon?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "She said she didn't feel very comfortable there and she felt homesick."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at her: "Do you believe what she said?"
Ruan Xingwan tilted his head: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Cishen said: "I heard that she and Daniel went to see a photography exhibition and stayed away all night."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Ruan Xingwan: "?"
She said: "So she is hiding from Daniel?"
Zhou Cishen said: "I don't know this, you have to ask her yourself."
Ruan Xingwan paused and suddenly smiled. No wonder he said he would come back after a few days of fun, but suddenly left overnight.
It turns out that's why.
[It’s not that I don’t want to talk about it, but when I explained it before, some people said that I was looking for excuses and that I talked a lot of nonsense. It’s meaningless to just say it...]
