Volume 1 Chapter 145 Familiar Breath
"The rabbit is broken and no matter how we fix it, it won't work. I haven't heard the radio for a long time." Du Ruo complained aggrievedly.
Xu Jingmo quickly patted her back gently and comforted her, "I'm here, why are you still listening to the radio station? I'll give you a live broadcast."
Du Ruo buried her head in his chest, her voice a little muffled: "Then I want to listen to love songs."
Xu Jingmo did not hesitate at all and immediately sang in a low voice:
"I have always wanted to tell you that you have given me unimaginable happiness, like an oasis in a desert, that you will always be with me... I don't care how many storms there are along the way, I just love you, love you, put it in your palm, and give you all the brilliant happiness, I just love you..."
Du Ruo closed her eyes and hugged him tightly. With his familiar low voice in her ears and his familiar smell at the tip of her nose, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Xu Jingmo sang four or five love songs in a row until he was sure that Du Ruo was completely asleep, then he stopped singing.
She buried herself deep in his chest, resting her head on his arm, her hands still tightly grasping his pajamas.
If her breathing was not even and steady, Xu Jingmo would never believe that she was sleeping soundly in this uncomfortable posture.
He was afraid that she would feel bored, so he moved carefully, trying to get her to change her position.
Du Ruo immediately frowned, snorted in dissatisfaction, and clenched his hands even tighter.
Xu Jingmo's heart felt as if it was pierced by countless tiny needles, causing him to feel pain all over.
She wasn't like this before.
No one loves the sensible child. He pretends to be strong and brave on the outside and never says a word of complaint.
But she is also a human being, how can she be indestructible...
No one can empathize with the suffering and sins that I have endured.
Xu Jingmo gently stroked her frowning brows, hummed a lullaby softly, and wiped away the tears on her cheeks tenderly, his eyes full of pity.
He thought to himself, what good is a genius? He would rather she was an ordinary person who didn't have to bear so much responsibility and pressure...
He reached for the phone on the bedside table and sent a WeChat message.
After that, there was no more sound in the community and it was unusually quiet throughout the day.
Du Ruo fell into a deep sleep, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.
She felt extremely tired, as if she had just finished a marathon that was beyond her limits.
In this long-distance race, she persisted and sprinted, not daring to stop for a moment.
Finally, she crossed the finish line in first place.
Amid the cheers and applause, she was so tired that she almost collapsed, but no one noticed.
At this moment, a pair of warm hands caught her steadily, and a gentle voice came to her ears.
"Good job, brave girl."
"If you are tired, take a good rest. I am here."
She closed her eyes in relaxation.
She is really tired.
Du Ruo slept deeply and long this time, as if making up for all the previous lack of sleep at once.
When I opened my eyes again, what I saw was a pair of slender, beautiful hands with distinct joints, and a small mole on the joint of the index finger.
Du Ruo opened her mouth and took a bite.
Xu Jingmo's low, smiling voice came from above: "Are you a puppy? You want to eat bones as soon as you wake up."
Du Ruo raised her eyes to look at him, and met his eyes full of tenderness.
She blinked a little dazedly, then realized her sleeping position.
She lay horizontally on the bed with her head resting on Xu Jingmo's legs.
Xu Jingmo leaned against the head of the bed, caressing her cheek with his warm hands.
He just...seemed to have been massaging her temples...
Du Ruo stretched out his hand to him.
Xu Jingmo gently pulled her and held her in his arms.
Du Ruo leaned her head on his shoulder and asked softly, "What time is it now?"
Xu Jingmo replied: "8 o'clock."
Du Ruo responded softly, "Why do I feel so hungry?"
Xu Jingmo added: "It's normal to feel hungry at 8 o'clock in the evening."
Du Ruo sat up straight in surprise.
Xu Jingmo showed her the time on his mobile phone screen.
Du Ruo opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She actually slept for so long?! And she didn't even wake up once? She had been sleeping for 3 or 4 hours a day for a long time, and she thought it was 8 o'clock in the morning.
Xu Jingmo rubbed her head and said with a smile: "I have already stewed the beef. Wake up and sober up. I can cook some noodles and then we can have dinner."
Du Ruo still couldn't believe it, "I slept for so long?"
Xu Jingmo looked at her and nodded affirmatively.
Du Ruo suddenly looked around and asked anxiously, "Where's my cell phone? Is there no one looking for me?"
Xu Jingmo got up from the bed, went to the living room to get her the phone, and explained:
"I took it to the living room because I was afraid of disturbing you."
"I don't know if it was your colleague or assistant who called to ask where you put your luggage. I have already received it for you."
"A few leaders also came to see you. I said you were resting and asked them if there was anything urgent. They said it was not urgent and asked you to have a good rest."
"A few TV stations also called and wanted to arrange an interview with you, but I declined for now."
"Your grandpa and your uncle and aunt arrived at noon. I told them to contact you when you wake up. They are currently in the hotel."
"There are some WeChat messages in my phone. I haven't replied yet. You can take a look at them yourself. I'm going to cook noodles."
Du Ruo sat on the bed almost in a daze, not reacting for a moment.
After staring blankly at Xu Jingmo walking out of the bedroom, he suddenly turned around and looked at her sideways and said, "The noodles will be ready in more than ten minutes, don't delay too long."
Du Ruo suddenly couldn't describe the feeling in his heart at this moment.
She certainly knew that the world would function normally without her, and no one forced her to do anything.
But she got used to it.
It seems that at every important node in her life, except for the time when she was sent to the junior class as a child because her parents forced her to go there, all other decisions were made by her alone.
She doesn't need to discuss with anyone, she just needs to inform them. Whether she is right or wrong, she can bear the consequences herself.
She handled all the time abroad by herself without any regrets.
After returning to China, everyone listened to her arrangements and cooperated with her calculations. She was used to walking in front.
Now, she knew she had accomplished her mission and could relax for a moment.
But she also knew that there were still a lot of stalls waiting for her to deal with, and she couldn't convince herself that she could just let it go.
But she disappeared for almost the entire day and didn't cause any trouble.
If you leave the mess to others, they can also handle it.
She doesn't need to handle everything by herself, she can rest and have a good rest.
Du Ruo stared at the door in a daze, feeling warm in her heart, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Xu Jingmo can't help her with anything, but that doesn't prevent him from being her support, her spiritual support.
Du Ruo called her family back and made an appointment to meet them tomorrow.
Xu Jingmo left his family on the day of reunion and spent a complete birthday with her alone on the empty street. She also wanted to spend a complete birthday with him.
She called a few leaders back, all of whom gave encouragement and asked about their well-being. It was not an urgent matter, so she responded casually.
Then, he turned off his phone.
Now she has posed a difficult problem to the world. Whether she is questioned, overthrown, praised or supported is other people's business.
She wants to be willful and unrestrained.
Everything else is not as important as Xu Jingmo now.
She got up from the bed, walked out of the bedroom, looked at Xu Jingmo's back in the kitchen, couldn't help but hug him from behind, and said affectionately: "Xu Jingmo, I love you so much."
Xu Jingmo used chopsticks to stir the noodles in the pot to prevent them from sticking together. With the other hand, he held her hand and stroked it gently, teasing, "I know, you were talking in your sleep. You kept confessing to me in your dreams."
Du Ruo immediately retorted: "Impossible, I don't have the habit of talking in my sleep."
Xu Jingmo: "How do you know if you have the habit of talking in your sleep? There is no one around you when you sleep."
Du Ruo doubted himself briefly.
Could it be that she really was talking in her sleep?
Seeing that she was silent, Xu Jingmo couldn't help laughing out loud.
Du Ruo reacted instantly, reached under his shirt, pinched the itchy flesh on his waist, and said angrily, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Xu Jingmo hid from her in fear and said with a smile, "I dare not."
Du Ruo snorted, "I think you are quite brave. You have grown older and become more cunning."
Xu Jingmo suddenly turned around, handed her the chopsticks and said, "Look, I want to go to the toilet."
Du Ruo took it without question. As soon as she stood in front of the pot, Xu Jingmo changed his position and hugged her from behind. He placed his hand on her itchy spot with great understanding and continued with the previous topic, "You are right. I just became more cunning."
Du Ruo turned and glared at him.
Xu Jingmo said softly, "Look at the pot, don't look at me. Have you forgotten that you didn't look at the pot before and the noodles stuck together and were half-cooked?"
“…”
Du Ruo was so angry that she wanted to bite someone.
Xu Jingmo lowered his head, buried his face in her shoulder and laughed quietly.
"Ruobao, have you become stupid?"
Du Ruo thought to herself, she didn't become stupid, she just forgot how much she owed him.
Du Ruo refused to admit defeat and said, "I've already told you that your saliva is poisonous. Don't kiss me again. If you infect me and make me stupid, you won't be able to explain to the country."
Xu Jingmo kissed her earlobe and said submissively, "No, let's discuss it."
Du Ruo said, "No room for negotiation."
Xu Jingmo said frivolously, "Oh, so tough? When you were underage, you dared to seduce me in various ways. Now that you are an adult, you want to start a platonic relationship with me?"
Du Ruo choked and was suddenly speechless. What did she mean by being young and reckless? That was indeed what she had done.
She pointed her chopsticks at him angrily and threatened, "Xu Jingmo, are you annoying? Believe it or not, I will stab you to death with one chopstick!"
Xu Jingmo nodded seriously, "I believe it."
“…”
Du Ruo held the chopsticks and for a moment didn't know how to take it.
The familiar, long-lost, 'naughty child' aura in my memory came over me.
Xu Jingmo said, "Are you going to take action? I won't resist."
Du Ruo immediately turned off the fire, picked up the chopsticks, stared at him coldly, and was determined to teach him a lesson.
Seeing this, Xu Jingmo hid while shouting, "Mianmianmian."
Du Ruo said coldly: "Your Majesty, I won't eat anymore."
"You're not going to say anything or resist? What are you hiding from?"
"I've said I believe it. I'm definitely afraid that you're really going to kill me." Xu Jingmo looked at her warily.
Du Ruo was pulling him back and forth across the dining table. "Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid of my wife." Xu Jingmo looked at her and said.
Du Ruo's ears suddenly turned red for no reason, and he said angrily, "Who is your wife?"
"Du Ruo, do you know him? If not, let me introduce him to you. He is an 18-year-old genius scientist who invented the RM inequality, which is named after Du Ruo and Xu Jingmo..."
Du Ruo immediately caught up with Xu Jingmo and tightly covered his chattering mouth.
She gave in. She knew he was the king of naughty kids and she couldn't afford to offend him.
