Chapter 13

Back in City A, it was already morning.

As a matter of course, Li Tao drove the Bentley sent by the company back to the company.

Zhou Xiaosu got off the car.

On the other side, Li Zong took Ruan Bai's suitcase out of the car, and said at the same time: "I'll take you home to rest first, you have a good sleep, and I'll look for you again at night."

Ruan Bai nodded.

Pushing a suitcase, the two said goodbye to Zhou Xiaosu and Li Tao, then walked to the side of the road and called a taxi.

Li Zong thought, go buy a car tomorrow.

It is too inconvenient without a car.

Ruan Bai was sleepy and tired, and slept in the car for more than two hours last night, but it was always uncomfortable to sleep in the car.

Before the taxi was called, Li Zong's cell phone rang.

"I'll take a call." Li Zong held the phone, said to Ruan Bai, and pressed the answer button.

Ruan Bai looked at him, only to see that he frowned, said "hmm" to the person on the other end of the phone, and then said, "Okay, I'll be there soon."

"What's the matter?" Ruan Bai asked after seeing him hang up.

"Well, the leader of our team said that we need to be here in the morning for a meeting to discuss the next step while the iron is hot." After Li Zong finished speaking with a headache, he saw an empty taxi driving over.

Ruan Bai looked at the taxi, and took the suitcase he was pushing, "Go and do it, I can go back by myself."

Li Zong felt very guilty. As a boyfriend, sending his girlfriend back home after a hard business trip was what he should have done, but he couldn't do it because of work.

Ruan Bai got into the taxi.

The taxi is driving slowly.

Ruan Bai almost fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, the driver said to Ruan Bai in the back seat, "Here we are."

Ruan Bai opened his eyes and saw the community where he lived.

She pulled herself together and got out of the car.

The cold made her very ill.

For more than five years since she left city A to go abroad, she has lived independently, and she has long been used to getting through things by herself. Fever and cold can only be regarded as trivial things for her.

But no matter how strong she is, she is still a girl after all.

desire to be cared for.

But Li Zong didn't seem to notice that she was sick at all, which made her a little disappointed.

Back home where he had been away for two days and one night, Ruan Bai didn't want to do anything, and lay down on the sofa tiredly.

He felt drowsy as if he had fallen asleep for a while, and when he woke up again, he felt hot to breathe.

Stand up and look for cold medicine and antipyretics.

Just as I picked up the glass to pour water, the doorbell rang.

Ruan Bai pressed the answer button and asked weakly, "Who?"

She rented this house, and no one knew about it except Li Zong and Li Ni.

"Hello, Ms. Ruan, I'm from a community hospital, and someone has ordered an injection service for you." It was a girl who spoke, wearing a white coat and carrying a medicine box.

Ruan Bai thought for a while.

Could it be called by Li Zong?

It turned out that Li Zongyou noticed that she had a cold.

Perhaps it was due to illness and weakness. At this time, Ruan Bai was fragile and sensitive. Not to mention the door-to-door injection service, even a piece of common cold medicine could make her feel moved and happy.

After the injection was finished, another delivery man came over.

Ruan Bai went to open the door with a sore body, but found that this was not an ordinary takeaway, but a particularly rich meal. She had only seen this kind of battle in idol dramas.

"Please sign it." A man and a woman delivering food looked at Ruan Bai with complicated eyes.

Ruan Bai was embarrassed. She lived in an ordinary community, and she was an ordinary working-class worker in all respects. She really didn't deserve such a luxurious meal.

After signing, the two who delivered the food left.

Facing the sumptuous meal, Ruan Bai was at a loss.

Li Zong was born in a well-to-do family and was not rich. She could usually spend a small amount of money to watch movies and eat at restaurants, but such extravagance and waste caused her a headache.

All available.

Although she was sick and had no appetite, she still tried her best to eat a few more mouthfuls. This meal was mainly nutritious and light, like a sick meal specially prepared for patients.

After lunch and cleaning up the house, Ruan Bai sent Li Zong a WeChat message.

Only three words: "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

Li Zong replied.

Ruan Bai was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he might feel that saying thank you between couples was too far-fetched, so he typed back: "I still have to say thank you."

It took a long time for Li Zong to reply to her message, saying: "Suddenly so emotional."

Ruan Bai knew that he was not suddenly emotional, but moved. His father's love was deprived of by another mother and daughter, and his aunts and uncles had basically no relatives.

Speaking of loneliness, I am afraid no one can compare to her.

Now the only ones who can keep her warm are Li Zong and Li Ni brothers and sisters.

Li Zong said in the morning that he would come to see her at night.

However, Li Zong called again in the afternoon and said that he couldn't come because of a temporary emergency.

Ruan Bai looked at the three dishes and one soup she had prepared for Li Zong in the kitchen, without saying anything.

After fastening the plastic wrap, she put the food in the refrigerator.

the next day.

In the morning Li Zong drove to pick up Ruan Bai.

Ruan Bai got into the car, because of a cold, he began to speak in a stronger nasal voice.

Li Zong looked at her: "Do you have a cold?"

Ruan Bai paused as he fastened his seat belt, then turned his head to look at Li Zong in the driver's seat.

"Catch a cold?" Li Zong reached out his hand concerned and touched her forehead, it was very hot, then he unbuckled his seat belt, "Wait for me, there is a pharmacy fifty meters away."

Ruan Bai looked at Li Zong who got out of the car to buy medicine.

This is obvious, from Li Zongcai's words, he didn't know about her cold before now.

The community doctor service and the sumptuous patient meal yesterday afternoon...

It will never be Li Ni!

Li Ni was busy with work, and she didn't have the skills to do so. After returning to City A, she didn't even dare to talk to Li Ni, for fear of disturbing Li Ni's drawing.

The mobile phone in the bag vibrated at this moment "buzzing".

Ruan Bai dazedly took out his mobile phone and looked at the number on the caller's display, but he didn't recognize it.

"Hey, who are you?" Ruan Bai was slightly confused.

"Miss Ruan, please sign for your gift. You don't seem to be home when you ring the doorbell." The male delivery man said loudly.

"Gift?" Ruan Bai looked out the car window, "I'm at the gate of the community."

While answering the call, she unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.

Two minutes later, a male delivery man in a green vest came with a smile on his face and gave Ruan Bai a bouquet of flowers, "Miss Ruan, your flowers were delivered by air this morning, please sign for them!"

"Who gave this flower to me?" Ruan Bai was very serious, only concerned about this question.

It has to be figured out.

By air!

That's how much it costs.

The delivery man shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, the customer paid, we just deliver it."

A large bouquet of flowers was placed in Ruan Bai's hands.

The delivery man drove away.

Ruan Bai stood where she was, without moving a bit. The bouquet was beautiful and the fragrance was elegant, but she was really not in the mood to appreciate it.

"noob."

Li Zong's voice came from behind her, a little heavy.

Ruan Bai turned around, the beautiful flowers formed a stark contrast with the dull expression on Li Zong's face.

"I... I don't know who sent it." Ruan Bai was afraid that Li Zong would misunderstand.

"You don't know?" Li Zong looked straight at Ruan Bai, and the original panic in his eyes gradually turned into accusation towards her. He was expressionless and sarcastically said: "The flowers brought by air are so romantic, they are so big handwriting!"
