Ruan Qiuqiu thought that she must be crazy. Her heart was beating so fast that her whole body was trembling when Cheng Jun kissed her.
If it weren't for Tu Nan and the others who were still standing aside, she was afraid that her whole body would be in a daze.
Tu Nan, Wen Qian, Fu Zicheng, Jiao Fan, and Elder Meng were all standing in the corridor of the hospital. There was only one question in their hearts, and that was where Ruan Qiuqiu had gone.
Why would Ruan Qiuqiu disappear from this world for seven whole months without a single trace? No matter how hard they tried to find connections, they couldn't find any news about her. Now, Ruan Qiuqiu suddenly appeared in the police station, wearing thin summer clothes.
If it weren't for the fact that she was standing in front of them, they would almost think that they had seen a ghost.
Ruan Qiuqiu's reaction was more intense than theirs.
When she heard that she had disappeared for seven months, she first stared blankly and was stunned. Then she realized something and carefully turned her head to look at Cheng Jun. Cheng Jun, who was standing next to her, had no expression on his face. He just held her hand tightly and didn't let go for a second.
She couldn't believe how Cheng Jun had waited for her for seven months without any news and without any hope.
Seven months.
And she had only waited for half a day, and it was so unbearable that she almost collapsed.
No wonder she always felt that he had lost weight. When they hugged, she could clearly feel his spine.
Ruan Qiuqiu was very sad.
"So where did you go? Boss is about to collapse. We thought you … Bah! As long as you're fine! "
Ruan Qiuqiu's answer was vague, "I … I went to a distant place."
As soon as she said that, she was silent for a moment. After thinking about it, she felt that her words were even more strange. Sure enough, the expressions of the others changed. They began to wonder if Ruan Qiuqiu had come back from the dead. They looked at Ruan Qiuqiu and wanted to say something.
Ruan Qiuqiu said, "… Anyway, I won't leave again. You can rest assured."
Especially Cheng Jun.
Her promise did not make Cheng Jun loosen his clenched fists.
The others looked at each other. They wanted to ask what was going on, but Ruan Qiuqiu didn't want to explain, so they didn't continue to ask.
"Alright, it's good that you know to come back." Elder Meng heaved a long sigh of relief and winked half-jokingly. "There's a lot of work piled up. You should go back to work after a few days of rest."
"Alright. Everyone has worked hard. Thank you. "Ruan Qiuqiu was touched and smiled at him.
Everyone who was able to rush here today was worried about her safety. She was very grateful that there were still so many people in this world who cared about her. When everyone looked at her, their eyes were filled with concern and gentleness. They did not question her because of Ruan Qiuqiu's vague words, which made Ruan Qiuqiu, who was already in an emotional sensitive period, almost burst into tears again.
When they reached the entrance of the hospital, Tu Nan suddenly reacted and asked, "Boss' car was towed away by a tow truck, right? Don't call for a taxi, I'll send you back. "
If Ruan Qiuqiu had known that Tu Nan's sports car was so flashy, she would probably have rejected it.
Everyone else drove back to their own homes.
Secretary Wen Qian sat in the passenger seat, while Ruan Qiuqiu and Cheng Jun sat in the back. She saw with her own eyes that Tu Nan helped the secretary fasten her seat belt. The action between the two of them was ambiguous and intimate, clearly not like working partners.
Ruan Qiuqiu was shocked. "You —"
Tu Nan said, "I told you, she definitely likes me … Ouch, don't hit me, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Wen Qian's pretty face turned red, and he stared coldly at Tu Nan. "If you want to kneel on the remote control, you can continue to talk nonsense."
"No, no, no …" Tu Nan quickly waved his hand.
Back in this world, listening to the two of them bickering, Ruan Qiuqiu finally felt that she had returned to reality. Cheng Jun sat silently beside her, holding her hand. It was so hot that it was sweating, but he did not want to let go.
Ruan Qiuqiu understood that he did not feel safe, so she let him hold her hand tightly.
The car drove slowly on the street. Gradually, snowflakes rustled down, wandering in the silent city at night. Looking at the fluttering snowflakes outside the window, Ruan Qiuqiu's mind was filled with Cheng Jun. How did he witness the green branches and leaves gradually turning yellow and falling, and finally being covered by the snow?
Ruan Qiuqiu did not know all of this, and she did not dare to ask.
Tu Nan sent them downstairs, and the secretary was still complaining about his weird taste. Tu Nan quickly gave in and said that he would change the car in two days, and asked the secretary to choose a nice-looking car.
The two of them laughed and watched Ruan Qiuqiu and Cheng Jun leave.
Tu Nan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great. If sister-in-law didn't come back, I was afraid that the boss would not survive this winter. "
Wen Qian: "Yes, fortunately. But … where do you think Qiuqiu went? "
Tu Nan's face was full of nerves.
"Maybe the heavens couldn't stand it anymore and sent a fairy to accompany the boss."
Wen Qian burst out laughing. "Maybe."
It was not important to them whether they could tell the truth or not, and they did not have to reveal every secret. The two of them looked at each other and returned to the car. A big stone in their hearts was finally lifted, and they could sleep well tonight.
For Ruan Qiuqiu, the last time she went upstairs was only a day ago.
She held Cheng Jun's hand and casually mentioned the myth of Orpheus, but she did not expect it to be true. Ruan Qiuqiu swore that she would not talk nonsense again. She held Cheng Jun's hand and walked forward two steps, but Cheng Jun suddenly stopped.
Ruan Qiuqiu: "?"
"You go first."
As if he was afraid of the nightmare repeating itself, he walked behind Ruan Qiuqiu, holding her hand and not letting go. Ruan Qiuqiu comforted him and took the lead to go upstairs. The journey was particularly long, as if they were walking on a single-plank bridge. She did not need to look back to know that Cheng Jun must be nervous and staring at her without blinking, afraid that she would disappear.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. He opened the door and pulled Ruan Qiuqiu in.
Seven months had passed, and the room was still the same as before, as if she had really only been away for a day.
"Did you eat properly when I wasn't around?"
Ruan Qiuqiu asked as she opened the fridge. She did not expect there to be fruits in the fridge. On the contrary, there was not a bottle of Yakult, only a few boxes of milk that had not been drunk.
Cheng Jun stood behind her and slowly answered Ruan Qiuqiu's question.
"I ate three meals regularly, stopped eating snacks, remembered to put on more clothes when the weather was cold, woke up early, went to bed early, and trained regularly. I finished all the work I needed to do, and occasionally participated in social activities."
"…"
"So, I won't cause you any trouble."
Ruan Qiuqiu was silent. She blinked and tried to control herself not to cry again, but the moment she saw Cheng Jun's uneasy and cautious expression, her eyes turned red.
She sniffed hard and turned her face to the side.
"What do you want to eat?"
Cheng Jun said, "Anything is fine."
"Let me see if there's anything else."
Unexpectedly, the rice and noodles had obviously been replaced, so there was no need to worry about them being inedible for too long. There were fresh vegetables, meat, and eggs in the fridge. Ruan Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment. Cheng Jun did not know how to cook, and it was absolutely impossible for him to cook, so …
The vegetables and fruits were so fresh, even if he did not eat them, they must be replaced often.
He must be waiting for her every day.
Ruan Qiuqiu was very glad that she had thought of a way to come back in time. If she had stayed in the other world for eight to ten days, she could not imagine if Cheng Jun would still be alive when she came back.
She made a bowl of simple noodles and laid two eggs for Cheng Jun.
She had eaten enough in the police station.
The two of them sat at the dining table facing each other. Cheng Jun held his chopsticks and did not eat for a long time. He looked down at the noodles in the bowl. His scattered hair covered his eyelids, and the emotions in his eyes could not be seen clearly.
Ruan Qiuqiu softened her voice. "Eat quickly, the noodles are going to lump."
"…"
He suddenly gave a short sob. The dining room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Ruan Qiuqiu could hardly believe it. Cheng Jun … he was actually … crying?
She was stunned on the spot, but she saw Cheng Jun holding his chopsticks and picking up the noodles to eat. The sound of him slurping the noodles was not loud, but it covered the other noises. After he finished the noodles and eggs, he drank all the soup in the bowl.
Ruan Qiuqiu asked, "Are you still not full?"
Cheng Jun put down the bowl. "I'm full."
It had been a long time since he had eaten so much food at once.
Cheng Jun went to wash the dishes as usual. When he heard no sound for a long time, he subconsciously looked to see if Ruan Qiuqiu was still there. Although Ruan Qiuqiu had promised several times that she would never leave this time, he seemed to be a little worried.
Ruan Qiuqiu went to the bathroom, and Cheng Jun wanted to follow her in, but Ruan Qiuqiu hurriedly stopped him outside the door.
"I'm just going to the bathroom!"
"I don't mind."
"… I mind!"
Cheng Jun stood outside the door, and the bathroom door was closed. Every few seconds, he would call Ruan Qiuqiu's name, and she would respond in time. When she was showering, she had been talking to Cheng Jun, so Ruan Qiuqiu drank a lot of water and almost choked.
She understood Cheng Jun's mood at the moment, so she tried her best to satisfy his requests.
When they were sleeping on the bed, Cheng Jun gently hugged her in his arms. Her nose was filled with Cheng Jun's refreshing smell, and she hugged Cheng Jun's arm with peace of mind.
The two of them hugged each other, and Cheng Jun did nothing but sleep together with the quilt.
Their eyes were open, and they were not sleepy.
Lying down, Ruan Qiuqiu was a little tired, and she fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she was half-asleep, she heard Cheng Jun calling her softly.
"Qiuqiu?"
She kissed his chin in a daze and shrank into his arms.
"I'm here."
I'll always be here.
