Chapter 129 Don't worry.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed.
She stretched, rubbed her eyes, then quickly got up and washed up.
I put on my bag, went downstairs, and secretly left home.
Ning Xiaonuan first went to the hotel to pick up her luggage.
After getting the suitcase, she took a taxi to the gate of the community where Shen Mo lived.
Her heart was full of anticipation, hoping to see him again, even if it was just a glance from a distance.
However, time passed minute by minute, and half an hour passed, but she did not see Shen Mo.
With a sense of loss, Ning Xiaonuan said to the taxi driver helplessly: "Master, let's go."
The car was driving slowly on the busy street, but it was rush hour and the road was crowded with cars.
After more than an hour's drive, we finally arrived at the airport.
Ning Xiaonuan got off the car carrying her suitcase and walked into the spacious and bright waiting hall.
She looked at her watch and the hour hand pointed to a quarter past eleven.
Soon after, the boarding notice came over the radio.
Ning Xiaonuan dragged her suitcase and boarded the plane.
As the plane took off, she leaned back in her seat and looked down through the window.
I saw blue clouds floating in the sky, and the buildings on the ground became smaller and smaller, as if insignificant.
She couldn't help but remember that she hadn't been back to the city since graduating from high school.
Apart from the attachment to my family, there doesn't seem to be much left here worth reminiscing about.
As the plane gradually rose higher, her thoughts gradually drifted away...
……
at the same time.
On the other side of the earth, in a mysterious and distant country.
Shen Mo had just finished a busy work and dragged his exhausted body back to the hotel room.
He stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the piles of documents and materials in front of him, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.
He couldn't help but start to imagine what Ning Xiaonuan was doing at the moment...
Did she confess everything to her family?
Will her family make things difficult for her?
Does she miss each other like herself in the dead of night?
Even if she just treats me as a brother, she will think of me occasionally, right?
The moon was bright and clear in the sky, hanging high in the sky like a silver plate. Its light shone into the room through the window, illuminating half of his body.
He held the wine glass in his hand and gently shook the wine in the glass. The crystal clear liquid shone in circles of light.
He has always loved wine tasting, but now he finds that drinking seems to have become a way to relieve stress and release emotions.
For many years, as a soldier, he has always stayed at his post, and smoking and drinking are extremely rare pastimes for him.
Except for the rare days off, he almost never got drunk.
However, everything has changed since I met her.
Before this, he had never truly understood the meaning of like and love.
But during this short time together, he was gradually attracted to her. He became obsessed with her smile, her coquettishness, and even liked to knead her cute round face.
Every time he saw her smiling happily or acting cute towards him, a warm feeling would surge up in his heart.
The feeling was both strange and wonderful, and he couldn't help but indulge in it.
Now, he finally understood that this was liking and love.
But now... everything seems to have slowly settled in my heart.
"Knock, knock, knock--" A series of rapid knocks on the door suddenly rang out.
Like a thunderclap, it instantly pulled him back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.
He shook his dizzy head, forced himself to be alert, stood up and walked towards the door.
When I opened the door, a woman in exquisite professional attire appeared before me.
She had a pretty face and elegant temperament, and the tight clothes she wore showed off her figure to the fullest.
The woman said softly, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to bother you so late. There are a few things I don't quite understand, so I wanted to ask you for advice."
Shen Mo frowned slightly when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his wrist to check the time.
He responded expressionlessly and indifferently: "It's getting late now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
After saying this, he prepared to close the door and send the guests away.
The woman didn't seem to expect such an answer, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Shen, but we have to report the plan to the client tomorrow. If these problems are not resolved, I'm afraid it will affect the cooperation..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by Shen Mo: "I'm very busy now and don't have time to deal with these. Go find Assistant Jiang, he will help you solve it."
After saying that, Shen Mo closed the door without hesitation, leaving the woman standing there with a look of surprise on her face.
The woman stamped her feet in anger and cursed in her heart, but the more he did this, the more fascinated she became.
She gritted her teeth, turned around and left angrily.
Shen Mo returned to his room, feeling increasingly irritated.
He walked to the table, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp of wine, trying to calm himself down.
Then he sat back at his desk and continued to work.
As the night deepens, everything is silent, with only the sound of typing on the keyboard and shuffling of papers echoing in the silent room.
I don't know how much time passed, but the clock pointed to midnight.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up and a text message popped up.
Shen Mo stopped what he was doing and clicked on the text message to check.
As he watched, complex expressions such as surprise, confusion, and joy gradually appeared on his originally tense face.
This message was like a key that unlocked the troubles in his heart...
It’s Ning Xiaonuan’s message.
"Brother Mo, thank you for taking care of me during this period. And I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used you as a shield. If... Mom and Dad come to you, just say that I forced you to do this and put the blame on me. I'm really sorry. I have taken the first step towards my dream, and I hope you work well and stay healthy. Don't worry."
Shen Mo couldn't help it in the end and made a phone call.
Listening to the cold beeping sound on the phone, he put the phone down, lowered his head, and looked at the screen that was gradually going out.
He knew that this relationship, which had not even begun, was over.
There is no attachment, no expectation, and no love.
His eyes dimmed with a hint of self-mockery as he stared at the wine on the table, filling one glass after another and drinking it down.
As time passed, his eyes turned red. They were clearly filled with mist, yet it seemed as if there was a deep fog obscuring them, like stagnant water washing away a pond full of mud.
Finally, I lay drunk on the sofa, drowsy...
