After the phone is charged, turn it on slowly.

There were missed calls and messages, but they were not from Mu Weiliang.

Li Banxia pinched the edge of the phone case, his eyes flashed with disappointment, and he looked at his phone number for a long time.

She wanted to call him, but quickly gave up the idea. It was already two o'clock in the morning, so she better not disturb him.

As everyone knows, Mu Weiliang didn't sleep all night either.

The sky turned white, and the first ray of sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds.

Li Banxia blinked her sour eyes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed to wash up, mechanically completing a series of preparations before going out.

At seven o'clock, Xu Sisi came to see her. He could see at a glance that she was in a very bad state and said worriedly: "Sister Banxia, ​​your face is worse than yesterday. How about I go communicate with the brand and postpone today's shooting?" Tune it up.”

Li Banxia refused, "No, I'm fine."

The schedules are all arranged, and the brand's progress cannot be delayed just because of her.

Xu Sisi couldn't say anything else, "Then you can rest more in the car later."

Li Banxia said "hmm".

Today's filming is not in Qingcheng. It has to cross provinces and I won't be able to make it back on the same day.

They took the high-speed train for three hours, then transferred to a bus for more than two hours before arriving in the impoverished mountainous area.

Li Banxia endorsed a sanitary napkin brand for free because they promised to donate a sanitary napkin to a girl in a poor mountainous area for every order sold.

She finds it very meaningful and hopes to help more girls with poor living conditions.

It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there is no Internet connection, and mobile phones often have no signal.

The original plan was to go down the mountain after the shooting, but unexpectedly it rained heavily and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so we could only stay on the mountain for one night and wait until the rain subsides tomorrow before returning.

The group stayed temporarily in the village chief's house, a mud house with a roof covered with tiles and cracks in the walls, barely able to keep out wind and rain.

I heard from the village chief that the houses here can be renovated when government funding comes next year.

The village chief's wife arranged a room for everyone, "You will just stay here today. I'm sorry for the poor reception."

Li Banxia hurriedly said: "You don't have to work anymore, we can do the rest ourselves."

The village chief has a little daughter who is six or seven years old. She is quirky. He took her hand and shook her, "Sister, you can live in a new house when you come back next year!"

When she said this, her eyes were shining, full of expectations for the future.

The village chief's wife quickly said: "You kid, my sister is very busy and doesn't have time..."

"It's okay." Li Banxia touched the little girl's head and agreed: "I'll come back next year to see if you, the little girl, have grown taller."

"Okay! I will definitely eat more!" The little girl grinned. She was at the age when her teeth were changing. She lost two of her front teeth, but she still smiled brightly and healingly.

The village chief's wife took her daughter's hand and said, "Okay, okay, mom will take you back to your room to sleep. We won't disturb your sister's rest."

The little girl was very obedient and waved to Li Banxia, ​​"Good night, sister!"

Li Banxia curled her lips and said, "Good night."

She deeply felt that growing up in a loving family, even if the living conditions were difficult, she was still very happy.

And everything is developing in a good direction, and their lives will get better and better in the future.

Xu Sisi and Li Banxia sleep in the same room.

After a simple wash and tidying up, I was ready to go to bed.

The hard wooden bed was not very comfortable to sleep on.

Xu Sisi turned over slightly, but still made a "squeaking" sound, "Sister Banxia, ​​are you asleep?"

Li Banxia whispered back: "No."

"I can't sleep either." Xu Sisi sighed silently, "I'm really not used to not having an Internet connection. I can't even play on my mobile phone."

She habitually checks Weibo or videos for half an hour before going to bed.

Suddenly there was a ringing sound accompanied by vibrations.

It's Xu Sisi's phone number.

"Hey, is there a signal now?" She took out her mobile phone from under the pillow and was a little surprised when she saw the caller ID. "Yu Yang, why is he calling me so late?" The voice on the other end said as soon as the call was connected. He came over and said, "Why can't you always get through on the phone?"

Xu Sisi explained: "There is no signal in the mountains."

Yu Yang knew that they were going to the mountains to shoot a promotional video, "Then when will you come back?"

Xu Sisi: "If nothing else happens, I'll go back tomorrow. What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Yu Yang asked in a low voice, "Is Miss Li okay?"

Xu Sisi didn't know why, "It's good. What are you doing?"

Yu Yang: "Let me ask, Brother Mu has been in a bad mood these past two days. I was wondering if they were having trouble."

"I can't..."

"Dududu-"

The signal was interrupted before Xu Sisi finished speaking.

Li Banxia was lying next to her, and she didn't know if she heard what Yu Yang said.

After hesitating again and again, she asked aloud: "Sister Banxia, ​​are you and Teacher Mu... okay?"

Mentioning Mu Weiliang, Li Banxia's heart tightened and her chest felt tight, "I didn't tell him about Li Yue, he was not very happy."

Xu Sisi understood Li Banxia, ​​"Are you afraid that he will worry?"

"Ah."

"It's not a big deal. If you can have a good chat after we get back, he should understand."

Li Banxia just didn't know how to talk to him. She had already explained to him the reason for hiding it from him, but he felt that she didn't care about him.

How could you not care?It’s because I care that I work hard on this relationship.

I just don’t know how it ended up like this.

The rain stopped the next afternoon.

Li Banxia and his party said goodbye to the villagers and left.

It was already evening when we returned to Qingcheng.

After riding in the car for more than six hours, I arrived at the hotel exhausted and dusty.

She is still staying in the hotel and Qiao Hui lives in the apartment, and she doesn't want to go back.

I went to the bathroom and took a shower, feeling less tired.

The phone is charging on the bedside table.

Li Banxia walked over while wiping her hair, and habitually opened WeChat to read the news.

The chat history with Mu Weiliang still stopped the day before yesterday.

This is the first time they haven't contacted each other for more than two days.

Li Banxia stared at the screen for a while, and finally dialed his phone.

The bell rang for a while, and my mood fluctuated with anxiety.

The "beep beep beep" sound lasts indefinitely in a quiet environment, and finally hangs up automatically because no one answers.

Her eyes darkened, she put down her phone, and continued wiping her hair absentmindedly.

I waited for several hours but didn't get a call back from him.

Another day of relying on medication to fall asleep.

This situation seems to be getting worse, even worse than last year.

On the other side, Mu Weiliang didn't know that he had missed a very important call.

He drank a lot at night and left his cell phone in the study.

In the past two days, he had been waiting for Li Banxia to take the initiative to find him. In the past, he always bowed his head first. This time he wanted to test how much weight he had in her heart.
