obsessed with love

Chapter 180 New Traces and Old Traces
Xu Dong sent the final plan and details of the academic exchange meeting to Qiao Anming. In fact, he only needs to pass the final check for this kind of meeting, and he doesn't need to do it himself, but he still opened the attachment and carefully browsed the details.

In the hotel reservation list, each participant's room number has been assigned, and only Du Ruo's column is empty.

Qiao Anming picked up the landline to call Xu Dong, and asked directly, "Why is Du Ruo's room number information empty?"

A question without warning, Xu Dong didn't expect the boss to ask this question suddenly, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger in that tone. What is the relationship between Emma and the two now?
Xu Dong swallowed softly, and replied somewhat falteringly: "Well... Qiao is always like this. To confirm the room number, you need a copy of Team Leader Du's ID card, but she suddenly called yesterday afternoon to ask for leave, and she didn't say anything specifically. What's the reason? It seems that something happened at home. She seems to be in a hurry. I called her today, but the phone was turned off..."

Asking for leave again?Something happened at home?What will happen?

Qiao Anming lightly stroked his forehead with his fingers, glanced at the desk calendar in front of his eyes, his heart twitched slightly, took a breath and tried to maintain his calm tone: "Then you should confirm the information with her as soon as possible, other details are fine..."

"Okay, I will continue to call her this afternoon." Xu Dong replied holding his heart, paused, and boldly asked again: "Mr. Qiao, there is one more thing I need to confirm with you...the communication next month Yes, will you be there? If you will be, I need to book you a room."

Qiao Anming's fingers still rested on his forehead and gently rubbed his forehead. The corners of his eyes were always looking at the desk calendar in front of him. On the clean date page, there were a few short red lines drawn with a brush next to each date. It looks a bit awkward...

"Let me check the itinerary. If I have time, I will go and have a look. You don't need to book the room for me for now..."

After hastily hung up the phone, Qiao Anming dared to lower the arm that was holding his forehead...

……

To open up Hongmeng, who is the love?It's all just for the love of Fengyue!

He frowned, and the string in his heart was pulled tight again... If he only cared about the word "Fengyue", he definitely would not have lived in abstinence for 20 years.

So apart from Fengyue and months of entanglement, what else did she leave for him?harm?There must be some damage. Her sarcasm when she left at the end, Qiao Anming's 20 years of strategizing, was finally played by a woman in the applause, so the damage was almost wiped out.

But after these days, Qiao Anming gradually realized that these injuries are not terrible, even the memories that may come out at any time are not terrible, what is terrible is his increasingly uncontrollable thoughts. There are still emotions surging.

Gradually losing control of his thoughts, his reason was trying to contend with his emotions, but Qiao Anming felt that his willpower had become so weak since when he stretched out his hand to pull the desk calendar, and the entire page was covered with subtle red lines, getting denser...

Both love and hate are in a dilemma, even missing is an unspeakable thing for him, the wound is on his heart, and all emotions must be hidden.But what is "addiction"? It is a habit that gets stronger and stronger as you quit, and it is unreasonable paranoia. Where is the way out?Qiao Anming looked at the dense red lines and had to admit that he couldn't see a way out, so he could only hate and indulge in this way.

Du Ruo went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for Lu Shuangfeng, and ate something at the small restaurant in front of the hospital. From yesterday afternoon to now, she has hardly eaten a drop of water, and there is nothing in her stomach. In fact, she is not too hungry. But she was still pregnant with her child, so even if she no longer had an appetite, she still had to force herself to eat something.

I ordered a bowl of noodles and added a poached egg. The waiter brought up the steaming hot noodles. The soup was clear, and there were a few green onions floating on the white noodles. It looked delicious at first glance, but Du Ruo suddenly thought of the bowl of noodles that Qiao Anming cooked for her. The color and aroma were not good. Why did she still feel that it was delicious and invincible.

After taking a sip of the soup and swallowing the noodles with chopsticks, Du Ruo felt his nose sore, so he could only cover the lower abdomen with his palm...

"Baby, today's noodles are a bit raw, not as delicious as your father's cooking, right?" Wuzi smirked a few times, the rising heat engulfed his eyelids, and he felt moisture gradually oozing out from his eye sockets.

Damn it, don't even the taste buds have memories?
Du Ruo's mobile phone had long been out of battery and turned off automatically, so she charged it for a while with the socket of the small restaurant. As soon as she turned it on, many reminders of missed calls flooded in.Among them, Zheng Xiaoran played the most frequently.

After Du Ruo drank the last bit of noodle soup in the bowl and his stomach was full, he had the strength to call Zheng Xiaoran back.

The girl was still irritable: "Ah, Du Ruo, you finally called me back? How is Auntie? Are you awake? And your brother... Forget it, just tell me where you are, I'll go find you you…"

Du Ruo took a sip of water and reported his exact location to Zheng Xiaoran.

Half an hour later, Zheng Xiaoran came by taxi, bought some fruits, and asked Du Ruo to lead him to visit Lu Shuangfeng.

When the old lady saw Zheng Xiaoran coming over, her mood fluctuated a little, she pulled her to sit by the bed, and kept thanking her: "...just come and see me, why bother to buy fruit... You see, Xiao Ruo always pays for her brother. I'm embarrassed to ask you to borrow money...I've always been grateful in my heart, but I don't have time to thank you properly..."

Lu Shuangfeng held Zheng Xiaoran's hand tightly, her words were a bit messy, unlike her usual clear and orderly way of speaking, but the expression on her face was sincere and moved, showing gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

How could Zheng Xiaoran stand up to the old lady's gratitude, and quickly stood up and replied: "Auntie, don't say that, I have been with Du Ruo for so many years, and I didn't lend her much money, I just..."

"Okay, Mom, it's rare for Xiao Ran to come to see you. Don't always talk about money... She is very busy and has a lot of work in the unit. She came to see you during lunch." Du Ruo pulled Zheng Xiaoran from behind, winked at her, and successfully broke the subject of the old lady.

Lu Shuangfeng also felt that her emotions were a little too extreme, and immediately Zheng Xiaoran's hand was lifted, just smiled and continued: "Okay, it's rare to meet and don't mention these things, then if you are busy at work, go back first, the doctor said I have no major problems , I was discharged from the hospital after staying for two days, but I have to thank you for the money, Xiao Ruo is straight..."

"Okay, Mom, if you keep talking, you'll become a talker..." Du Ruo quickly interjected, gave Zheng Xiaoran a hand, and asked, "Don't you guys only have an hour's break at noon? It's almost a little late now, don't you go back?"

Zheng Xiaoran had already seen Du Ruo's intentions, Mumu nodded, said goodbye to Lu Shuangfeng after a few words, and dragged Du Ruo out of the ward.

At noon meal time, the corridors of the hospital were full of family members carrying lunch boxes. Du Ruo buried his head all the way, and Zheng Xiaoran held back his mouth. When he walked to the hospital gate, Zheng Xiaoran stopped and pulled Du Ruo to face him. With a cold face, he asked: "Your brother's anti-rejection expenses really cost 20?"

Du Ruo nodded as a response.

"The 20, you lied to your mother that I can lend it to you?"

The person in front of him still didn't say a word, just let out a slight "um" from his throat, and buried his head again, not daring to look at Zheng Xiaoran.

With a long sigh, Zheng Xiaoran turned his face away and looked outside the glass door of the inpatient building. The shade of lush trees fell, the warm sun at noon cast through the gaps in the leaves, and the ground was spotted with golden traces.

In April, the sun began to become a little wanton, the best season of the year.

Zheng Xiaoran sneered at the corner of his mouth, and he thought for a long time before opening his mouth: "Are you planning to carry the money by yourself? You had nowhere to borrow the 30 at the beginning, and if Mo Youting hadn't lent it to you in the end, he probably didn't have any." I survived until the operation, what about now? Go ahead and ask Mo Youting for a loan?"

Du Ruo took a deep breath, and finally looked up, looking at Zheng Xiaoran's dull eyes: "No, I won't ask him to borrow money again, he's a playboy, he's so irresponsible to you, Why would I ask him to borrow money again. When the money I borrowed from him is paid off, I will dissociate myself from him, after all, we are not from the same world, and it is not appropriate to be friends!"

It is still similar to the words that look down on Mo Youting. Du Ruo was always grateful and friendly to Mo Youting before, but after Zheng Xiaoran's miscarriage, she really started to despise Mo Youting's tricks from the bottom of her heart A rich son of affection.

This time it was Zheng Xiaoran who lowered his head, drooped the corners of his mouth, and said after a few seconds: "Go and ask Qiao Anming for some, after all, you have been together before, this money is nothing to him, so You shouldn't be stingy."

Zheng Xiaoran didn't use "borrow", but directly used "want", Du Ruo puffed out his cheeks and let out a big mouth!

The whole world thinks that she should extend her hand to Qiao Anming, body and youth, desire and material, exchange of equal value is justified.But Du Ruo still held back the breath in his heart, bit his lower lip and shrunk his neck, pretending to answer calmly: "I won't ask him, I haven't contacted him for a long time."

Zheng Xiaoran looked at her calm eyes, twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and patted her shoulder with one hand, wanting to say something more, but felt that all the words seemed powerless at this moment, so she just said two words: "Fool— "

Du Ruo was pushed back a few steps by her, and her body stood in the shadow of the sunlight. The light came directly through the glass door. She was blinded by the light for a moment, so she used her arms to block it reflexively.

Most of her face was covered by the palm of her hand, only her pointed chin and her lips were trying to pull a sneer.

Zheng Xiaoran always remembers the noon sun, Du Ruo's thin figure standing in the sun, and the slight upward curve of the corner of his mouth, which is the evidence of his heartache but being too aggressive.

Du Ruo kept watching Zheng Xiaoran walk out of the hospital before turning around and walking to the ward. When she was going up the stairs, she suddenly received a text message from her: "The hospital does not allow family members to accompany the room at night, right? Go live with me, the place I rent is close to the hospital... "

Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he answered "Yes".

Zheng Xiaoran walked along the road in front of the hospital, passed the ATM, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to go in, took out the card from the interlayer of the wallet, the golden card surface, a row of concave and convex numbers, and wiped it with his fingers. , My heart hurts.

Life is like a dream, and her "one night changes one life" is nothing more than a trick she invented to comfort herself.

With trembling fingers, I inserted it along the card slot of the ATM, entered the password, checked the balance, the machine paused for a few seconds, and then a series of numbers appeared on the screen...

Zheng Xiaoran's heart was stretched infinitely in an instant, tears welled up without warning, rolling down his cheeks one by one.

She has never cried since the child's miscarriage. She tried her best to bury that memory in her dream, and always felt that when she opened her eyes and the sun was rising, she was still the carefree and careless Zheng Xiaoran.

But at this moment, looking at the numbers on the screen, all the belated emotions arrived at the same time, heartache, self-deprecating, sober, despair... She felt that the emotions came too suddenly, and her body was a little unable to hold on, so she could only cover her mouth with one hand, Holding the edge of the cash machine with one hand... There was a long silence, allowing great grief to invade.

Finally, the time to insert the card was too long, and the machine issued a beep. Zheng Xiaoran regained his composure, pulled out the card and held it in his hand, holding it tighter and tighter, letting the hard edge of the card cut into his heart.

Anyone who has seen the video of the bank ATM camera on that day will be surprised. A girl stood in front of the ATM crying with half of her face covered. In the end, her body slowly bent down, and she turned her back against the wall. He buried his face in his knees and maintained that posture squatting on the ground for half an hour.

The past is fleeting, the wound heals, and her "one night changes one life" is so worth it!
Du Ruo received a call from Xu Dong when the evening was approaching. She first exchanged some pleasantries, but she put it off, saying that her mother was not feeling well and she had to stay with her in the hospital for a few days. After that, Xu Dong didn't ask any further questions. That call was just to get a copy of her ID.

Du Ruo was fetching water in the hospital's water room at the time, holding two hot water bottles in one hand and holding a mobile phone in the other, making it difficult to walk.

"...ID card, I may not go to the company these days, when I have time, I will find a graphic shop to scan and send it to you."

"Okay, hurry up, there is a shortage of rooms in the hotel, so don't miss out." Xu Dong kindly reminded, Du Ruo hummed a few times, but she didn't listen at all, the kettle in her hand was dead , she just wanted to speed up and walk to the ward.

But Xu Dong didn't seem to want to hang up, he was stunned for a moment and seeing that he didn't speak, Du Ruo could only speak again: "Manager Xu, is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Xu Dong thought about it for a few seconds, and then tentatively asked, "Mr. Qiao may also attend the exchange meeting. I talked to him on the phone today and I mentioned you..."

Du Ruo's footsteps stopped immediately, her breathing was rapid, and she paused for a few seconds to muster up the courage to ask, "What did he say about me?"

"I didn't say anything, but I sent him the reservation form for the exchange meeting. He found that there was no room number for you, so he called me to ask me. In fact, you were able to be included in the meeting list, and it was Mr. Qiao who mentioned it to me. , said it is a good opportunity, you can get to know some people who will be useful to you in the future..."

Du Ruo was carrying two hot water bottles, his arms were sore and numb, he could only breathe slowly while leaning against the wall, Xu Dong was still talking non-stop, he was not usually such a gossip, it seemed that he was spying on her tone of voice.

Du Ruo took a breath, interrupted Xu Dong directly, and asked, "Manager Xu, what do you want to know from me when you tell me this?"

Xu Dong didn't expect Du Ruo to answer like this at all, he didn't catch his breath, and replied in a drawn-out voice: "No—it's nothing, just chatting with you, your mother's illness should be fine, if there is anything If you need my help, just ask."

"No, thank you, it's just that I may have to return to the company a few days later, please ask the personnel to extend the leave for a few more days."

Du Ruo squeezed the hot water bottle tightly and walked to the ward. Since she was transferred to Wumu Mountain, she has no achievements, the road ahead is blurred, and she has to ask for leave constantly. The truth is, everything is not going well.

Du Ruo left the hospital after falling asleep with his mother at night.

There was the last bus going to Xiao Ran's house at the gate of the No. [-] City Hospital. Du Ruo was sitting on the platform, wrapped in a thin coat, waiting.Her father called at that time, still urging her and Lu Shuangfeng to go back, and the tone on the phone was already very anxious.

Father's temper has always been very good, if he speaks in such a hurry, it means that Xiaofan's medical expenses are already very tight.In hospitals in small cities like Xuancheng, as long as there is no money in the patient's account, the medicine will be stopped. If there is rejection in the bone marrow transplant, once the medicine is stopped, it is almost fatal.

Zheng Xiaoran's words kept echoing in his ears: Ask Qiao Anming for some, after all, you have been together before, this money is nothing to him, so he should not be stingy.

Du Ruo took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned to the word "Joe", his eyes froze, and he didn't have the courage to dial it...

She knew that if she opened her mouth and went to him with all her face and dignity, he would definitely not be stingy, but she should always save something, the tough temper in her bones can twist herself into a tendon at a critical moment.

She was so determined to be with him at the beginning, and finally wanted to break up with him so unhesitatingly, she said nothing, how could she ask him?Could it be that she really complied with her sarcasm and quarreled with him for two months just to get his money?
It's better not to, it's better to go back crying and beg him for a little charity with such a magnanimous "no contact between old age and death".

The damage has already been done, since the ending cannot be changed, let her have some unnecessary backbone, at least when she thinks about it in the future, she can proudly say that she once loved so piously and purely.

So Du Ruo moved his finger away from the word "Qiao", climbed up the pinyin of the address book little by little, and fixed on the word "Pan Wei"... After thinking for a while, he still sent a line of words: "Yes No time, talk?"

After pressing the send button, my heart beat faster, like a child who has done something bad for the first time, but there was no reply for a long time after sending the text message. At that moment, Du Ruo felt a moment of joy. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and prayed that he would not see it. that text message.

The bus came in time, and Du Ruo got on the bus wrapped in a coat.But fate always writes down all the opportunities. Pan Wei was lying on the bed with "Live Color and Fragrance" in his arms at that time, so he naturally didn't see the text message sent by Du Ruo.

Zheng Xiaoran bought supper for Du Ruo, and when she came out of the shower, she arranged the dishes and chopsticks, and then poured the contents of the food box into the bowl.

"Let's have supper. Your favorite food is Malatang. You look blue. You must have missed dinner."

"Eat, I ate a little with my mother in the hospital." Du Ruo forced a smile and sat in front of the sofa. In front of her was the steaming hot Mala Tang, which was delicious and tempting, but she had no appetite at all. Pan up.

Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Zheng Xiaoran pushed the bowl in front of her.

"The food in the hospital is definitely not good. Eat some more, knowing that you must not be full."

The kindness is hard to come by, so Du Ruo could only pick up the chopsticks, poke around in the bowl, force himself to pick a vegetable and bring it to his mouth, but after chewing a few mouthfuls, a sour taste came from his stomach to his throat. Du Ruo threw away the chopsticks and ran to the bathroom... Hugging the toilet, she spat out a few times, but it was all liquid, and she couldn't spit out anything.

Zheng Xiaoran was in a hurry, and hurried over and asked concerned: "What's the matter? Why did you throw up before eating?"

"No, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, probably because I haven't eaten in the hospital these days and I'm hungry." Du Ruo struggled to stand up, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel.Zheng Xiaoran just believed that, but frowned, and still pretended to be angry and cursed a few words: "You are the most capable, your body is made of meat, even if your stomach is full of worries, you still have to eat! If If you fall again, what will your mother and brother do?"

Zheng Xiaoran is a bit baby fat, so whenever she gets angry, her cheeks bulge up, and she looks very much like Meng Qiqi, so Du Ruo likes to see Zheng Xiaoran angry the most. Now when she gets angry, Du Ruo laughs for no reason.

But Zheng Xiaoran was even angrier at her inexplicable smile.

"You still have the strength to laugh? The money matter is settled?"

"No, how could it be so fast?"

"Then you are still laughing? Sometimes I really don't know where your thin body can gather such strong courage." Zheng Xiaoran said in a tone of speech, and then he came out of the bathroom and took out his satchel , took out a bank card and stuffed it into Du Ruo's hand.

"Hold it! The password is on the back of the card!"

"what?"

"Qian, your brother's life!"

Du Ruo couldn't catch it for a while, the surprise came too fast, so he stood there for a few seconds before asking, "What money? Where do you have so much money?"

"Don't worry about where I got the money. Anyway, I didn't steal it or rob it, but there is still a shortfall of 8. You should find a way to make it up." Zheng Xiaoran said loudly, and quickly turned and walked to the bedroom.

But with a pull of the arm, Du Ruo pulled the whole person from behind, and the four eyes met, with different emotions.

"Say, where did you get so much money?"

"Oh, if I give you the money, you just take it. Why do you ask so much?"

"12, when I asked you a few days ago, you still said no, how could you have so much money in just one day?" Although Du Ruo needed the money urgently, how could she dare to touch the unknown money.

Zheng Xiaoran's eyes were wide open, and his breathing became short of breath. He just stared at Du Ruo's face, pulled his arm, lowered his head, and said in a hurry, "You should treat it as my money, 12 yuan. You should be thankful!" After speaking, he shook his sleeves and continued to walk towards the bedroom with a sullen face.

Du Ruo stood where she was, looking at Zheng Xiaoran's bloated body in pajamas, and didn't pull her arm anymore, but her voice stuck in her throat gradually choked up: "Xiao Ran, this money belongs to Mo Youting, right?"

The back in front of him stopped, and he stood at the door of the bedroom without turning his head. He just lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Yes, we haven't seen each other since that night. A few days later, he sent me this package by courier." A card, the cardholder is my name, and the password is the date when I went to the hotel with him to check in..."

So after going around for a long time, the 12 yuan was indeed Zheng Xiaoran's "selling money".

Du Ruo felt that life was really ironic. The first time Xiaofan had an operation, she had nowhere to go. In the end, Mo Youting paid for it. The second time Xiaofan rejected others, she self-righteously defended her so-called dignity, and she was unwilling to go to Mo Youting again. You Ting borrowed it, and was unwilling to ask Qiao Anming for it, but in the end it was Zheng Xiaoran who offered his "dignity" with both hands...

Her "one night for another life", that lost child, and her obsession that she clings to and refuses to let go, all these have turned into a thin card in her hand, and now the card is in her hand , soon to be a billing list for the hospital...

Du Ruo tried hard to force back the tears that were gradually gushing out, twirling the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and walked over, sucking his nose.

"I don't want the money, you take it back." She stuffed the card into Zheng Xiaoran's hand again, but she didn't accept it, and turned around to look at Du Ruo's face fixedly.

"Why don't you? What right do you have to say no now? If you don't take the money, someone else will give it to you?" How could Du Ruo not know such a cold fact.

But Xiaofan is Du Ruo's younger brother, so she has no way to selfishly erode Zheng Xiaoran's dignity. After so many years with her, Du Ruo knows Zheng Xiaoran's personality too well.

Du Ruo took a sharp breath and stuffed the card into Zheng Xiaoran's hand.

"I can find a way to borrow money, whether it's a colleague in the unit or a relative at home. It's not as difficult as you think." Du Ruo said here and pretended to be relaxed: "You didn't Do you always comfort me? Said that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so this time there will be a solution, but you can’t touch the money. If you have the opportunity to give it to that playboy, his father is great if he has money? Feelings are priceless, dignity is priceless , Fuck you, change your life overnight!"

As Du Ruo spoke, his mood fluctuated, and his eyes were full of distress and anger.

However, Zheng Xiaoran has been very calm, without disturbance, as if talking about other people's affairs: "...Du Ruo, 12 is not a small amount, I know you have no one to borrow, so take it, and pay me back when you have it... Don't mention the word dignity to me. Once the relationship is related to dignity, the ending will not be so good. Besides, I am different from you. You value dignity more than life, but I think that if the money can Saving your brother's life means that I didn't spend the night with Mo Youting in vain... 12, a night, I never thought I could be worth so much money..."

A sad smile erupted from the corner of his mouth... that was Zheng Xiaoran's courage from crushing his dignity.

"Besides, even if you don't want the money, you won't go back that night. The sins that should be committed will still be committed, and what should have happened will always happen..." If there are flowers blooming in the barren wilderness after the death of the heart, it must be strong. defeat.

That night, Du Ruo held the bank card in one hand, the thin card was pressed against his chest, and gradually warmed up.

Zheng Xiaoran had already slept soundly, and the sound of her gentle breathing was beside her, and Pan Wei's text message was sent at that time.

"Why did the beauty think of contacting me suddenly? I'm so flattered..." There were a few provocative words without specific content, but Du Ruo frowned when he saw the white light on the phone screen.

The light in the room was very dim, Du Ruo read the text message several times, but did not dare to reply, but turned around to look at the profile of Zheng Xiaoran beside him, taking advantage of the faint moonlight from the window, Du Ruo took a close look at the people beside him. Read it carefully.

It's really inappropriate for her to stand with Mo Youting, one is shining and the other is plain, but our meaningless Zheng Xiaoran really jumped on it recklessly.

Knowing that there will be no result, but still rushing forward without hesitation, Du Ruo understands this kind of feeling that is so strong that it is almost ignorant, so at this moment, looking at Zheng Xiaoran's sleeping profile, she is willing to admit and accept her for the first time. For the first time, Mo Youting recognized his selfishness clearly.

Dignity is valuable, so why should she trade other people's dignity for her own.

Change your life overnight!It shouldn't be too difficult to get over it in one night... so our idiot Du turned on his phone and sent back the text message...

...

"Do you have time? If you have time, talk about it?"

"What are you talking about? Is it convenient to call?" Pan Wei's text message came back quickly, but Du Ruo's cell phone rang a few seconds later. Seeing the name on the screen, she snapped in panic, her fingers trembling to reply to his text message : "Don't call, it's inconvenient now, just use text messages."

Du Ruo was really flustered, the panic and tension surging from the bottom of her heart made her chest hurt, she had no choice but to talk about this kind of transaction for the first time, how could she have the courage to speak with her voice.

"Okay, I can do whatever Ms. Du says, I'm just curious why you suddenly came to me? Did you quarrel with Mo Youting? Hahaha..."

Du Ruo squeezed the phone and tried to calm his breathing, and typed word by word: "Let me ask you, do you still count what you said at the bank gate last time?"..."

It's been a long time since the text message passed, and there has been no reply. All the turbulent panic seemed to be sunk into the boundless darkness... During that half hour, Du Ruo kept struggling, repeatedly, and finally decided to make another hard decision.

She had said to Qiao Anming before that she had been a medical representative for so many years and experienced too many shameless things, but she was lucky and escaped every time. She walked by the river with water, but she didn't fall... But This time, she guessed that she would not be able to survive.

After all, how can one win the fight against one's life?

Half an hour later, Du Ruo's cell phone rang again suddenly, Zheng Xiaoran who was beside him frowned and turned over, Du Ruo hurriedly covered the phone with his hand, climbed out of bed and walked to the living room.

Without turning on the light, she just curled up on the sofa, pressed the answer button, and said hoarsely: "...Hello..."

"Yo...Miss Du actually answered my phone, what's going on, asking me this kind of question in the middle of the night...?" Pan Wei's voice was a bit noisy, and it sounded like she was on a sensual occasion.

Du Ruo took a deep breath, crossed his legs and asked directly, "Tell me, does what you said that day still count?"

"It counts, of course it counts. Since when did Mr. Pan's words to women not count? Besides, to beauties..." Pan Wei's voice became unusually brisk, as if he laughed a few times, and soon asked again: " It's just strange, Miss Du's attitude towards me has changed a little too quickly, what's wrong? Can't Mo Youting satisfy you?"

Du Ruo tightly grabbed his knees with his hands, bit his lower lip and asked directly, "Don't mention other people, the price!"

There seems to be a pause on the other end, and then a high-pitched laughter, mixed with the restless DJ music, floated into Du Ruo's ears: "Okay, happy! I like such a happy woman, and I guess the work in bed is not bad... say Come on, what price do you want!"

"20! Stay with you for a week!"

"20? One week?" Pan Wei's ending was very short, with obvious sarcasm in his tone: "Do you really think you are a goddess? I can buy a third-tier starlet for this price!"

Clenching his fists tightly and resting his head on his knees, Du Ruo held his breath and continued: "Then tell me, how much are you willing to pay?"

"One hundred thousand, one month!"

"No, it's too little, 20, one month!" Du Ruo felt that her character was really fucking good, and she was probably the only woman in the world who could bargain like her calmly and sell herself!

Pan Wei kept silent on the other end, Du Ruo gritted his teeth and said, "Is it okay? If you can't, just hang up!"

"Wipe... OK!" Finally, a burst of curses came over: "If I'm fucked by a demon, 20 is 20, but you have to be there whenever you want!"

Du Ruo smiled softly, she sold them all, and of course they would be there anytime, but at the last moment, she still didn't forget to talk about the payment terms: "No problem, but you have to pay me [-] in advance..."

There should be some faith, dignity, emotion, humanity in life... Use these to maintain your pious hope for life, but Du Ruo feels that he really has nothing. Even the heart in his chest may stop beating in the near future. Since then, there has been silence and no water, neither hatred nor resentment.

Qiao Anming slept extremely restlessly that night, having constant nightmares, and woke up in the middle of the night.The previous sleep has been very shallow, and during this time it is even more difficult to fall asleep every day.

Struggling for an hour, unable to fall asleep, I simply stopped pushing myself, just looked sideways... The bed in the apartment was huge, a full 2.3 meters, but he only occupied one edge.
