The next morning.
Dong Mian went downstairs to have breakfast. Li YueKai, wearing a sweaty sweatshirt, trotted in from the outside. He saw her and said, "get up? Go to breakfast and I'll take you to graduate school later. "
Without waiting for her response, she ran up the stairs.
The tone sounds colder than before, but it's not.
Dong Mian looked at his back thoughtfully. Li Jinbei called her, "Xiao Mian, come and have breakfast."
"Good."
After Dong Mian had finished his breakfast, Li YueKai came downstairs and took a few mouthfuls. He said to Dong Mian sitting on the sofa, "Xiao Mian, let's go. ”
Dong Mian quickly followed.
On the bus, Li YueKai asked, "do you wake up so late now?"
She Leng Leng, "late?" She wakes up after seven. It's not too late.
Li Yue Kai took a look at her, "how long have you not exercised?"
"When I was in graduate school, I would run a few paces a week."
"Why don't you run away at home?"
"Not yet."
It's not unaccustomed. It's inconvenient.
She was never close to the adults in her family, especially his mother and grandfather.
Her mother is neither warm nor indifferent to her, but her grandfather has always been very warm to her on the surface. It's probably because of her natural instinct that she thinks that father Li doesn't like her and that she is not close to him.
He thought, "usually there are few people at home, so there is no gym. It happens that there is a room available on the third floor. I'll call later and ask someone to buy the equipment. You can exercise in the gym. "
"No, I'll move back to the research institute after a while, and I haven't lived here long."
Li Yue Kai looked in front of him and said with no expression: "but this family, you will stay for a lifetime, sooner or later, you will be able to use it."
Dong Mian was stunned.
Back to the Research Institute, Qiu Yansen took a look at her, "early in the morning, it looks like there is no spirit, it's not like you."
Dong Mian shook his head. "It's OK. It'll be OK in a moment."
"Didn't you say yesterday that the operation was wrong? Is that clear now? "
"No, I think I may have a problem, but I'm not in a hurry. I have to do an experiment first," Dong Mian said, abandoning those confused emotions and returning to work. "I'm going down to the laboratory now. Do you want to go with me?"
"Good."
A busy and full day.
Dong Mian and Qiu Yansen were busy from morning to around 4 p.m., until the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated restlessly.
She picked up the phone and didn't even look at the caller ID, "hello?"
"It's me. I have an appointment with some friends in the evening. I can't pick you up. I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
Hearing Li YueKai's voice, she pulled out of her work and said, "no, I'll go back by car."
"It's not safe to ride alone. I'll give you the driver's phone number. If you want to go anywhere, just let him pick you up." over there, Li YueKai knows her idea quite well. "Don't be afraid to trouble him. It's his job to pick you up and send you off."
"All right."
"Remember to call me if you have anything."
"Well."
Hung up the phone, Dong Mian soon buried himself in the experiment.
Until Lin Wan called Qiu Yansen, who patted her on the shoulder, "don't you go back to Li's for dinner today?"
"Well."
"I'll pick up Xiaowan later and go out for a walk together?"
Recently, she is either in the research institute or in the Li family. She and Li YueKai are now trapped in the same house, but their relationship has changed dramatically. Her mood can be imagined.
He was worried that she would be bored. He wanted to take her out for a walk.
His kindness, Dong Mian can feel, just, "you two go on a date, what do I do with you?"
"It's Xiaowan. She's worried about you."
"I'm fine." Dong Mian smiles.
"Where's Li Yue Kai?"
He was more worried about Li YueKai than Dong Mian.
Li YueKai loved him so much that he was more difficult to get out of it than Dong Mian.
Now they live together under the same roof. He is afraid that Li YueKai will not be able to control and will make trouble.
"We're... Getting used to it."
If I'm not sure what Li YueKai means this morning, he gave her a definite answer just now.
He's starting to get used to their relationship.
Qiu Yansen said, "I was a little surprised. I didn't expect Li YueKai..."
Adapt so fast and let go so fast.
But it's a good thing.
Dong Mian understood what he didn't say, "it's just a matter of getting used to it sooner or later."
That's true.
It's not easy for them to understand that and to be able to do it.
Now, each of them needs more space for independent thinking.
"Don't stay too late," he said, pausing. "Don't worry him."
If she can't take good care of herself, how can Li YueKai really rest assured?
He could not rest assured that a series of problems would emerge again.
"I know."
Qiu Yansen left.
Looking at the blackboard full of writing, Dong Mian no longer had the strength to continue, packed up and left the Research Institute.
Now it's nightfall, people come and go on the road, never stop for her.
"Don't let him worry."
This sentence came back to my mind.
She opens the message, finds the driver's number that Li YueKai sent to her, stores it in her mobile phone, and then conveniently makes a call to the other party.
The road was covered with trees and the night wind was slightly cold. Dong Mian shrunk his shoulders and waited for a moment before the driver arrived.
The driver was very kind and polite, "miss Xiaomian, where do you want to go?"
Dong Mian didn't know where to go.
She's on her own. It's the same everywhere she goes.
But she didn't want to go home. She thought for a moment and said, "the pedestrian street in the center of the city, I want to go there for a walk."
"Good."
When we got to the pedestrian street, Dong Mian asked the driver to leave first and come back to pick her up two hours later.
The pedestrian street is very busy. Family members and lovers get together in twos and threes. Dong Mian goes to a small shop to have noodles. He stops and stops in the pedestrian street. His feet are sore. After looking at the time, he finds that there is still more than half an hour to go before the driver comes to pick her up.
A person shopping for dinner, the original time will go slower.
She went into the commercial building in the center, stopped walking when passing a jewelry store, then slowly stepped back and walked in.
She remembers that before going abroad, Li YueKai took her here to see the jewelry, but she didn't know if it was this
"What can I do for you, miss? Ring, necklace, or bracelet, bracelet? "
Miss sales was very enthusiastic. It was the first time that Dong Mian came into such a jewelry store alone. Miss sales was so enthusiastic that she couldn't cope with it. "I... I'll just look around."
She has no idea about jewelry and is single. She doesn't really need anything. She just wants to come in and have a look. She's embarrassed that the sales lady is so enthusiastic.
She wants to leave, suddenly tomorrow is Yunqing's birthday.
But these years, she has not given her mother a decent birthday gift. She stops and goes inside. Thinking that her mother likes wearing necklaces or expensive earrings, she says, "I want to see necklaces or earrings."
