Mu Ruanruan didn't look at him, not knowing what his expression was at this moment. She lowered her head and spoke to herself.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry about what happened that night. I misunderstood you."
Then he said, "I heard that Mr. Jiang knows a Feng Shui master. Can you tell me his address? As you know, the foundation of my house has been laid, and Brother Li is urging us to start construction, so..."
Jiang He felt particularly irritated by the repeated calls of "Mr. Jiang" and "you", and he felt unhappy. He had been sulking for a long time, but the woman didn't even look at him, and had no idea that she was angry.
This made Jiang He even more depressed.
Hearing "Brother Li" again, he couldn't stand it anymore. Even Li Gui was called "Brother", but why did it become Mr. Jiang to him?
Jiang He felt sad. This woman was so heartless. She disappeared inexplicably four years ago. He looked for her countless times during that time, but she refused to see him.
Now that she has finally gotten around me, she is still so distant.
Is it because she likes Qi Hui that she wants to be so distant from him? But he clearly heard that the two of them are not together.
Could it be that she already has someone she likes? Does she need to cut ties with him?
"Are you very familiar with Li Gui?" Jiang He felt jealous.
She and Li Gui?
They were not very familiar with each other, but Director Li was very nice to her. From the moment she first came, he was very friendly to her, like an elder.
Recently, he has been helping her build a house, running around and making her very touched.
"We're quite familiar with each other." After helping so much, it would be too hurtful to say that we're familiar with each other anymore.
She didn't know why Jiang He suddenly asked this, nor did she know what she said wrong.
It seemed that ever since she said that she was very familiar with Li Gui, the other party had been frowning and not saying a word. He didn't respond to anything she said, as if he didn't hear her.
"Mr. Jiang?"
I called out several times, but Jiang He didn't respond.
She had already said what she wanted to say. Seeing that he didn't look very happy, she didn't know if she had done anything to make him unhappy.
She originally wanted to ask the Feng Shui master, but seeing that he looked unhappy, she thought she should ask someone else.
In order not to annoy him further, Mu Ruanruan stood up and prepared to say goodbye, "Mr. Jiang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"We've only known each other for a few days, and you feel like you're so familiar with her. But we've known each other for so many years, shouldn't we be even more familiar with each other?" He suddenly said, his voice cold and unhappy.
Mu Ruanruan was completely confused by what he said and didn't know how to respond. She had already stood up, not knowing whether to leave or not.
He handed her a bottle of water with the cap unscrewed.
She took the water but didn't drink it.
Jiang He was about to say something when suddenly everything went dark, as if there was a power outage.
Mu Ruanruan had been afraid of the dark since she was little, but she had gradually overcome this problem after getting used to being alone. Now, suddenly being in such a dark environment, unable to see her hand in front of her face, she was still a little scared.
When the lights suddenly went out, she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Jiang He took her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His palm was warm, but to Mu Ruanruan it was like a red-hot iron. When he approached, she quickly dodged.
Even in the darkness, Mu Ruanruan still felt Jiang He's body stiffen.
Neither of them spoke.
Looking out from the transparent window, it seemed that only this building had lost power.
Even if there was no electricity, the landline could still be used for calls. Jiang He called the electrician in the dark and told him about the situation.
The electrician is still eating and will be here soon. He lives not far away, so it will take him about twenty minutes to get here.
Mu Ruanruan didn't want to stay with him in this dark environment for another twenty minutes. Just as she was about to go back, Jiang He spoke.
"Isn't there something else you haven't said?"
There was indeed one more thing, but she didn't want to talk about it at the moment.
It would be better for the two of them to have less contact with each other now, so she decided not to tell him about finding the Feng Shui master.
He can't be the only one who knows this.
If you don't handle it well, he might misunderstand that you are approaching him on purpose.
In the darkness, she pondered for a moment and said, "No, that's all."
She couldn't see his expression, but she vaguely felt that he was suddenly unhappy, and thought it was because of the power outage.
It is inconvenient for a single man and a single woman.
It was bright outside, and after her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could vaguely see things, but Mu Ruanruan still took a flashlight and said, "I'm going back first. Do you want to wait here for the electrician?"
"I'll take you there," he said.
"No, it's not far."
He didn't say anything, but stood beside her, his attitude clear that he would not accept rejection.
There is no elevator in this building. The stairwell is spacious and there is a large window at every corner. The lights and starlight not far away are dimmed by the high-intensity flashlight in Mu Ruanruan's hand.
Jiang He walked behind, keeping a steady distance, neither too far nor too close.
The presence was so strong that Mu Ruanruan felt like a thorn in her side. She couldn't help but quicken her pace, and the sound of her footsteps echoed in the stairwell.
She didn't know what she was nervous about, she just felt her breath was burning and her steps were a little unstable. A trace of vague worry just emerged in her heart, and she stepped on empty air and fell forward.
"careful."
In the quiet stairwell, Mu Ruanruan just heard Jiang He's gasp when her waist was hugged. Her whole body was pulled back by the force of his waist, and her head hit her hard chest.
She only felt her face burning, her mind went blank, and she didn't even say thank you. After she calmed down, she pushed him away and went downstairs.
Even when she returned to the dormitory, her heart was still pounding and her throat was sore from the cold air.
I realized it later and felt even more embarrassed. I felt like my whole body was burning and sweat was breaking out on my forehead and back.
I took a shower, changed my clothes, sat on the bed with a bag of potato chips, turned on the TV, randomly switched to a TV program, and ate the potato chips one by one without paying any attention to the TV program.
Next door, Ge Yi was playing games in Jiang He's room. When he saw Jiang He come in, he hurriedly asked him how he was.
Jiang He didn't say anything, his face looked bad. He reached out to pull his tie, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, picked up a bottle of water and took two sips, his Adam's apple moving up and down.
Ge Yi stopped playing games, got up and waited for him to speak.
"How about it, how about it, what time do we leave tomorrow?"
"Go back to your room. I need to rest."
Jiang He was about to take off his clothes and take a shower. Seeing that the man had no intention of leaving, he asked with a sullen face, "Did you cut off the electricity?"
Ge Yi looked forward to receiving praise. "Well, isn't the timing just right?"
"Get out of here now while I don't want to kill anyone."
Ge Yi, who had been kicked out, was still confused. He rubbed the back of his head and muttered, "The timing is perfect. We've been chatting for ten minutes. Is it too late? Or too early?"
He looked back at the two closed doors and felt deeply that these two people were so unfathomable and very well matched.
