When Xia Zhitang came out of the bathroom, Qingluan was already lying on the lower bunk with her legs spread out.
"Your phone keeps vibrating." Lin Jingming sat on the sofa and seemed to be playing with his phone, but in fact his mind was all on her phone.
Xia Zhitang looked at Lin Jingming with some surprise, who seemed to be indifferent, and picked up the mobile phone that was charging on the bedside.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw two missed calls with Gu Zian's name on them.
After finally getting over the illusion of Gu Zian's contact, and even deleting his WeChat chats, Xia Zhitang was caught off guard by his call a week after the breakup. It was difficult for him to describe how he felt.
She felt a little breathless, and hurriedly put down her phone, opened the refrigerator and took out the box of fresh milk. Her hands were shaking and she opened it several times before she made a hole.
"Heat it up before drinking." Lin Jingming took the milk from her hand, put it in the microwave to heat it up slightly, and then handed it back to her after testing the temperature.
Xia Zhitang took it absentmindedly, drinking while thinking about whether he needed to call back.
She wasn't sure whether Gu Zian had something important to talk to her about or not. In fact, the best way to get along after breaking up was to not disturb each other.
Lin Jingming stared at Xia Zhitang for a long time, but she was immersed in her own world and didn't notice.
He took a deep look at the diamond ring on Xia Zhitang's neck, then stood up and touched her head.
"I'm going out to smoke." Lin Jingming said and got up to go out, leaving Xia Zhitang alone in the RV with a sleeping dog.
Ten minutes later, Xia Zhitang's phone vibrated again, and Gu Zian's name kept knocking at her heart.
She looked at the phone number jumping on her phone for a long time before slowly swiping the answer button.
"Hello." Xia Zhitang felt that his voice was a little hoarse.
There was a continuous silence on the other end of the phone, and Xia Zhitang seemed to be able to feel the breathing of the other party through the radio waves.
"Have you moved all your things away?" Gu Zian finally broke the silence, his voice seemed a little hoarse.
"Yeah." Xia Zhitang felt inexplicably guilty.
She paused, then added sheepishly, "Leave those that you haven't used..."
"Heh." The person on the other end of the phone sneered and took a deep breath. "You're really calm."
Xia Zhitang suddenly didn't know what to say. She was also sad, but since Gu Zian decided to break up, she couldn't bear to be entangled.
Gu Zian didn't get a response for a long time, and his tone began to rise: "Are you together with Lin Jingming?"
"No." Xia Zhitang held the phone and buried his face between his knees.
"Are you ready to accept him?" Gu Zian's tone turned cold.
"Not now." Xia Zhitang answered honestly.
"What about next?"
Xia Zhitang felt very sad: "Zi'an, we broke up. You have to move on with your life."
After she said that, she hung up the phone in tears.
When Lin Jingming came back, Xia Zhitang wrapped herself in the quilt and cried softly.
It's so small in the white quilt, so pitiful.
Lin Jingming sighed, lifted the corner of her quilt and crawled in.
"What are you doing!" Xia Zhitang covered her face with her hands and kicked Lin Jingming who pulled her out, her voice filled with tears.
"If you are sad, just cry out loud." Lin Jingming held her waist and held her in his arms.
"It's all your fault." Xia Zhitang struggled angrily and kicked Lin Jingming's calf.
"I'm sorry." Lin Jingming patted her shoulder, but he knew he couldn't change. Even now, his body was clamoring to kiss Xia Zhitang and swallow her cries with his lips, but as a human being, he had the rationality to fight against his body.
"What's the point of apologizing?" Xia Zhitang wiped her tears on Lin Jingming's clothes. "Tissue!"
Lin Jingming held the person in one hand and with the other hand he took out a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to her.
"You cry so pitifully." Lin Jingming sighed softly in Xia Zhitang's ear.
After blowing his nose, Xia Zhitang finally felt that he could breathe more smoothly. Looking at Lin Jingming who was so close to him, he started to get angry again.
"Why are you everywhere?" Xia Zhitang held his shoulders and bit his neck.
Lin Jingming gasped in pain, but he always held Xia Zhitang's waist firmly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Zhitang felt Lin Jingming's chest vibrating with laughter, and he couldn't bite anymore.
"Our destinies have long been intertwined." Lin Jingming rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Let me go!" Xia Zhitang pushed him away with his hands and feet.
"Finally, you stopped crying." Lin Jingming gently kissed Xia Zhitang on the neck.
Xia Zhitang only felt an itch on her neck, as if a butterfly was gently flapping its wings. Before she could react, Lin Jingming let her go.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up, you will be the energetic Xia Zhitang again." He pulled up the quilt to cover her.
Xia Zhitang looked at his eyes which were so soft that they could drip water, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with you..." She didn't know how to describe it. Lin Jingming in front of her seemed a little strange.
"Go to sleep." Lin Jingming's hand gently covered Xia Zhitang's watery eyes.
Xia Zhitang felt her eyelashes brushing against Lin Jingming's slightly cool fingertips. Before she could react, there was a "pop" sound and her eyes fell into darkness.
"Xia Xia, go to sleep." Lin Jingming's voice rang in her ears, and the back of her head felt numb.
She felt Lin Jingming pulling away with a smile, and groped her way to the upper bunk opposite in the dark.
Xia Zhitang lay tense on the bed for about ten minutes. Only when he heard that there was no more movement from Lin Jingming did he slowly relax.
Before falling asleep, a question suddenly popped up in Xia Zhitang's mind: Why didn't she book an extra room?
Hearing Qingluan's sobbing and talking in her sleep, she finally remembered the reason: she thought nothing would happen when Qingluan was gone.
Afterwards, Xia Zhitang finally couldn't hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep in a daze.
When I opened my eyes again, a ray of sunlight came through the window, bringing a warm orange hue to the dim room.
Xia Zhitang met Lin Jingming's smiling face in the blink of an eye. He had lay down on his bed without her knowing.
"Qingluan." Lin Jingming called her dog first, "Hurry up and tell your mother to get up and feed you."
The white Samoyed jumped onto the bed in a few steps, and nudged Xia Zhitang with its furry head.
Xia Zhitang pulled the quilt over him and hid behind him: "Go find Lin Jingming, the dog food he cooks tastes better than mine."
Qingluan tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned to Lin Jingming behind her and wagged her tail.
"Call me daddy and I'll do it for you." Lin Jingming looked at Qingluan jokingly while lying on the bed.
"Woof woof!" Qingluan barked loudly without any psychological burden.
"Good son." Lin Jingming touched Qingluan's head and really got up to cook for Qingluan.
"Please make mine!" Xia Zhitang was a bit lazy for once, "I'm not picky."
"Call me husband and I'll do it for you." Lin Jingming raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Zhitang.
"Bah, I'm ordering takeout!" Xia Zhitang jumped up, grabbed his phone and ran to the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
When Xia Zhitang came out of the bathroom, Qingluan was eating the dog food in the bowl without even raising her head, and Lin Jingming placed the ordered breakfast on the table.
"Good job!" Xia Zhitang slapped Lin Jingming on the arm.
"Did you really order takeout?" Lin Jingming looked at her sideways.
"No." Xia Zhitang answered expressionlessly. She just hesitated for a long time about what to eat. She didn't mean to not order!
"How many days do you want to stay here?" Lin Jingming smiled and changed the subject.
"I'll be back tomorrow morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Cheng this afternoon to pick up the plan." Xia Zhitang paused and looked at Lin Jingming, "Are you going?"
"Do a preliminary screening first and then tell me." Lin Jingming knew Xia Zhitang's concerns, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Xia Zhitang stared at Lin Jingming with some suspicion, and in his heart he was sure that what he said was true.
"I won't burn myself out at home again, and I won't resist treatment anymore." Lin Jingming looked seriously into Xia Zhitang's eyes and promised, "I will keep this life and continue to fight you."
Xia Zhitang felt that this was very Lin Jingming's words: "Qingluan, go to Lin Jingming for dinner from now on."
Lin Jingming chuckled: "It's my son now."
Then he added maliciously, "I'm its father, you're its mother, and we're a complete family of three."
"I'm its sponsor." Xia Zhitang grabbed the last sandwich. "Rounding it off, I'm your sponsor."
"Oh, do I have to promise you my body?" Lin Jingming lifted his sleeves, "I'm always here for you."
Xia Zhitang glanced at his belly and said, "Heh, you should train your eight-pack abs first."
"Hard abdominal muscles don't feel good to the touch. They're nowhere near as beautiful as my fat and thin belly." Lin Jingming was about to lift up his clothes to show Xia Zhitang his belly.
"Just shut up." Xia Zhitang stuffed an egg into his mouth.
"I don't like eggs!" Lin Jingming spit out the egg and protested.
Xia Zhitang snorted coldly and ignored him.
Qingluan looked up from the fragrant dog food and looked at the two people who were bickering in confusion.
The little head couldn't understand their subtle relationship, so it decided to give up thinking and continue eating its meal.
Lin Jingming suddenly kicked Xia Zhitang, causing her to look at him in confusion.
"Xia Zhitang, I don't plan to give up on you." Lin Jingming said seriously, "You're really so funny."
Xia Zhitang felt like his brain was short-circuiting: "So?"
Lin Jingming just smiled and didn't answer her.
After a while, Xia Zhitang inexplicably realized that Lin Jingming seemed to be confessing to her again.
She paused, but couldn't feel too much emotion - Lin Jingming kept expressing his love for her over and over again with words and actions, and she was really numb.
Being liked by the idol you once admired should be a happy thing, but you can't stand the idol's collapse again and again, and you keep dancing and testing in her minefield.
Xia Zhitang feels that the reason he can still maintain a friendly cooperative relationship with Lin Jingming is because he has a strong heart.
After all, Lin Jingming is really annoying most of the time.
