As the night deepened, even the employees had left. Luo Pingjiang sat alone in the huge and quiet shop, holding his cell phone, and it took him more than an hour to choose.
Animals, fairies, Superman, fruits, stars, the moon... there are all kinds of shapes and colors, and the ones I bought are more expensive than last time.
This was the first time in his life that he had concentrated on selecting something so childlike and cute.
Finally, he put down his phone, looked up, and suddenly felt sleepy and everything was silent.
A few days later, the glow sticks arrived and the address they were sent to was the store. Luo Pingjiang packed it in a backpack and left it in the car.
The next day was the weekend, and Luo Pingjiang left the store, thinking that if Chen Muyun was at home, he would drop it off.
When driving near his house, Luo Pingjiang wanted to make a phone call, but when he looked up, he saw the lights on in Chen Muyun's window.
Luo Pingjiang parked the car and went upstairs carrying his backpack. Just after knocking twice, the door opened, and a faint fragrance blew before anyone came: "Brother, you're back!"
A strange girl, wearing only a white men's shirt, revealing her two snow-white thighs, was lying on the door.
Luo Pingjiang stepped back and looked away.
Ruan Qingling didn't expect that when she opened the door, she saw not Chen Muyun who was supposed to come home from get off work, but a strange and handsome man.
So Ruan Qingling also hid behind the door, poked his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Chen Muyun."
Ruan Qingling looked at him and smiled sweetly: "He hasn't come back yet, what's the matter?"
Luo Pingjiang then looked at her straight in the eye, gave her a deep look, said nothing, and turned to go downstairs.
Ruan Qingling kept smiling and closed the door.
As a result, as soon as Luo Pingjiang went down to the second floor, he saw a familiar figure coming up the stairs, humming a song. Luo Pingjiang stopped.
When Chen Muyun looked up, he also saw Luo Pingjiang, and his expression changed slightly. When the two of them came closer, he was already smiling as usual: "Brother Jiang, looking for me? Why didn't you call in advance?"
"I saw the lights on in your house, so I came straight up."
Chen Muyun glanced quickly behind him and said with a smile: "Oh, the girl in the room is my buddy's younger sister. She passed by Huaicheng and asked me to take care of her. She is staying at my house today. What do you want from me?"
Luo Pingjiang: "Come downstairs with me."
The two men, one in front and one behind, walked to the deserted area downstairs. Chen Muyun looked at Luo Pingjiang's back and suddenly felt irritated and resentful.
They are cousins and were very close when they were young. Later, one went to police school and joined the army, and the other went to a prestigious university in Xiangcheng. Although they don't see each other often, their close friendship has always been there.
But to say that Luo Pingjiang could interfere in his life like a real brother is beyond his reach.
Chen Muyun originally thought that with Luo Pingjiang's personality, now that he had said that about what happened today, he would just play dumb and not mention it again, and would just pretend he didn't see it even if he saw it. Chen Muyun didn't expect that he would call him downstairs, and he was confused about his intentions.
Luo Pingjiang: "Who is she?"
Chen Muyun lowered his head and smiled: "I said she is my buddy's sister, it doesn't matter."
Luo Pingjiang snorted coldly: "Mu Yun, I'm not blind."
Chen Muyun: "Brother, don't worry about this, it has nothing to do with you. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Chen Muyun turned to leave, but someone grabbed his collar. He gasped and turned around to see Luo Pingjiang's eagle-like eyes: "Don't you have a girlfriend? Why are you still messing around!"
Chen Muyun felt a surge of anger and shame in his heart. He broke free from his arms and yelled, "What does it have to do with you? Humph, I'm just trying to get you to pay me back. I'm not serious about it. What's the big deal? You don't have to mind what's going on between Qingqing and me. If you really think of me as your brother, don't mention Qingqing at all! Otherwise, we won't even be brothers anymore."
Luo Pingjiang stared at him for a while, then laughed, and Chen Muyun felt inexplicably uneasy.
Luo Pingjiang said: "Yes, it's none of my business, none of my business! Damn Ruan Qingqing is a good girl, I... I have only met her a few times, and I can see clearly.
If you really want to live a good life with Qingqing, break up with the guy upstairs immediately and don't let her down again! I won't tell her, I won't say a word to her. ”
After getting his promise, Chen Muyun felt a little calmer. He raised his head and heard his unusually calm voice saying, "Brother, don't worry, I will break up with this soon. I love Qingqing very much, and this has never changed. In just one or two years, I will marry her."
It was a while after driving away from Chen Muyun's house that Luo Pingjiang remembered that he had not given him the glow sticks in his backpack.
Turn back and send it back? Luo Pingjiang raised his lips to smile, he is not that mean!
It was late at night and there were few cars and people on the road along the river. The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.
Luo Pingjiang pulled the car over to the side of the road, looked straight ahead for a while, then suddenly turned the car around and sped towards the nursing home.
——
There was a roar of thunder in the sky.
Ruan Qingqing held the child and looked up at the sky. Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
It never rains but it pours.
The weather has turned cooler recently and several children in the center have had nasal congestion and clear runny nose. The staff kept an eye on the children and made sure they kept them warm every day, but one of them still caught a fever today.
After taking antipyretics, the child felt better in the afternoon and looked energetic. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the child had a fever again, a high fever, and was completely wilted.
It just so happened that Zheng Tao was not at the center today. He went out to drink with two male employees. The two aunties on duty wanted to stay and look after the other children, so Ruan Qingqing made a prompt decision, picked up the child and rushed to the hospital.
Zeng Xi took one deep step and one shallow step, chasing after her. Ruan Qingqing motioned for her to follow closely and go to the intersection to take a taxi.
But before the two of them reached the intersection, raindrops as big as beans began to fall down with a loud bang, as if it was pouring down.
The two of them hurried to the eaves of a roadside house. Ruan Qingqing tried her best to protect the child, with most of her back exposed to the rain.
When we reached the intersection, it was truly a storm. The whole road was dark, with only one or two pedestrians running frantically to avoid the rain, and no cars in sight.
Ruan Qingqing asked Zeng Xi to take the child and ordered a taxi on her mobile phone, but no one accepted the order for a long time. Ruan Qingqing took the child back again.
The child snuggled into Ruan Qingqing's arms, his hot forehead pressed against her skin. He half-opened his eyes, his distinct black and white eyeballs, looked at her, then closed them weakly.
Ruan Qingqing was so upset at seeing this that she called out his name quickly: "Dou Dou, Dou Dou!" But then she remembered that he couldn't hear her, and her heart felt like it was blocked by a brick.
Zeng Xi was so anxious that he turned around in place and gestured: Should I go back and ride my bike?
Ruan Qingqing shook her head.
Just as Ruan Qingqing was about to dial 120, car lights shone in from the intersection, instantly illuminating the dense rain curtain.
Ruan Qingqing looked up. She had never tried to stop a private car before, so she thought there was an 80% chance that she would be rejected, but she had to try.
She handed the child to Zeng Xi and rushed into the rain. She saw clearly that it was a black BMW with a familiar license plate number.
She couldn't believe her eyes and looked towards the driver's seat. She had never seen him look at her like this before. His eyes were as strong as liquor and as cold and silent as the deep sea. Her heart suddenly sank and she felt confused for a moment.
