cohabitation contract

Chu Yingying also seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere in the car was not right, so she closed her mouth tactfully. Another traffic light ahead came on, and Nie Changsheng stopped. Fortunately, only 15 seconds were displayed on the countdown.

"Are you worried about He Hongwu?" Ning Ziqin broke the silence in the car with a little embarrassment. She glanced at the gloomy Nie Changsheng and looked at the excellent medical director beside her from this angle. Under the light, he was unexpectedly handsome and elegant.

"It's okay." Fifteen seconds passed quickly, and Nie Changsheng waited for the cars in front to start moving before starting the engine and driving towards the hospital.

Ning Ziqin sighed slightly. I don't know when, the mature and stable man beside him also learned Zhuang Lingxiao's way, and also absent-mindedly perfunctory her. Obviously those tight eyebrows were entangled with indescribable sorrow, but slightly The raised thin lips rarely showed his bright mood.

Nie Changsheng, it turned out that he was so different, and he could only blame himself...

The arrogant and haughty portrait of Zhuang Lingxiao flashed in her mind. Although she lived next door, the man who was so busy that he didn't even come home hadn't asked her out for dinner for a long time. Even if she sat with him in a high-end restaurant and had delicious food, she He also sensitively noticed Zhuang Lingxiao's indifferent appearance sitting opposite him.

An excellent single man like Zhuang Lingxiao must be surrounded by women who are more beautiful and charming than her.

Ning Ziqin is an intellectual woman. She believes that her charm is enough to attract the attention of many high-quality men, but standing in front of Zhuang Lingxiao, she is like a superfluous existence. No matter how hard she tries and how she accommodates, she is still frustrated. I found that I couldn't get into Zhuang Lingxiao's inner world at all. The Zhuang Lingxiao who occasionally stared at her, although her image was reflected in his eyes, but he didn't know who was thinking about him in his heart. The atmosphere, the mocking smile on his mouth easily knocked down her armed courage.

For hopeless love, it is better to go as soon as possible...

A burst of beautiful ringtones suddenly interrupted her meditation. It was a ringtone specially set for Zhuang Lingxiao. She opened her eyes wide in surprise. She had just missed him when Zhuang Lingxiao called. Could it be that she already has a heart?Ning Ziqin gasped excitedly. Zhuang Lingxiao hadn't contacted her for a long time, and she called every time. Unfortunately, the busy man didn't give her any extra time to express his feelings.

Ning Ziqin couldn't wait to press the answer button, and listened calmly to Zhuang Lingxiao's long-lost voice on the phone pouring into his eardrums.

"My senior brother is by your side?" Zhuang Lingxiao went straight to the point without saying any nonsense.

"Yes, I'm with Director Nie...but you..." But how did you know? Before Ning Ziqin could ask such a question, Zhuang Lingxiao on the phone blocked all her detections a little annoyed. , and without any intention of explaining, he said in an unquestionable tone: "I have something to do with him, you hand him the phone and listen."

"Oh, okay..." Ning Ziqin responded dumbly, and handed the phone to Nie Changsheng as promised, "Director Nie, it's Ling Xiao's call, saying he has something important to call you."

Unexpectedly, Nie Changsheng, who was always gentle, had a sullen face, and resolutely refused: "Sorry, I'm driving."

Ning Ziqin was stunned for a moment, and heard Zhuang Lingxiao angrily scolding the quintessence of the country on the phone, followed by a harsh horn sound through the answer button, probably an angry man slammed the car horn, and the phone immediately fell into a busy tone.

Ning Ziqin, who was full of doubts, frowned. She rubbed her phone, looking at Zhuang Lingxiao's name in the call log in a daze, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart. What happened to that man who was so busy that he didn't even come home? Knowing that Nie Changsheng appeared beside her at this time?She thought of the call that Nie Changsheng cut off just now. Could it be that the person Nie Changsheng hung up on was Zhuang Lingxiao?However, haven't these two people who are said to be brothers and sisters been having conflicts all the time?How did you get in touch again?

Ning Ziqin, who was puzzled, could only shake his head, apologized for Zhuang Lingxiao embarrassingly, and said: "Ling Xiao has been very busy with work these days, and his insomnia is serious. If something offends you, please don't mind." She said To be polite, she pretended to be the person next to Zhuang Lingxiao's pillow, but in fact, she was indeed Zhuang Lingxiao's latest rumored girlfriend.

Nie Changsheng pursed his lips. That man stayed at home every day waiting for him to get off work. He was more punctual than anyone else. It had nothing to do with being "busy" at all!At night, he unscrupulously occupied his large bed and slept dimly, insomnia?He is the one who suffers from insomnia, right?How much does Ning Ziqin know about Zhuang Lingxiao?And how much did Zhuang Lingxiao hide from Ning Ziqin?

Seeing that Nie Changsheng remained silent with a sullen face, Ning Ziqin only said that he really had a conflict with Zhuang Lingxiao, and continued to excuse his "boyfriend" from the charges: "Ling Xiao has such a quick temper, Director Nie, you can bear as much as you can." Give him a little." At the end of the sentence, there was already a hint of prayer.

"No, I..." Nie Changsheng opened his mouth, not because he didn't want to respond to Ning Ziqin, but because he didn't know how to pick up her words, so he could only laugh at himself and answered the question, "I and him... are nothing. ..."

Looking at Nie Changsheng who gave up on himself in astonishment, Ning Ziqin felt more doubts in his heart, but for a moment he couldn't sort out what the strange clues were lying in his heart.

The two, who had their own concerns, had nothing to say along the way. When they arrived at the parking lot of the hospital, they met an orthopedic doctor who came back late. The orthopedic doctor watched them get out of the car with an ambiguous smile.

Ning Ziqin knew that rumors would spread again. She wanted to explain to the orthopedic doctor the coincidence meeting with Nie Changsheng. However, people who know gossip like to hear the explanations from the parties, no matter how reasonable the explanation is. In their eyes, it was just getting darker and darker, and it was all a joke after dinner. On the other hand, Nie Changsheng, who was preoccupied, seemed not to care.

After returning to the office, Ning Ziqin still found a space to make a call to Zhuang Lingxiao, but the mechanical voice repeatedly played the prompt "The number you dialed is not within the service area". She made several calls without giving up, but still The same result, had no choice but to give up.

Nie Changsheng had just returned to the office and was eating a hot lunch made by his little assistant Ding. The lunch was made by his girlfriend. Since meeting Nie Changsheng in person, the "love lunch" she made has become two. One is for Nie Changsheng, and the little assistant is not jealous. Although his woman admires Nie Changsheng, she still loves him. He firmly believes in this point.

As soon as he took a few bites of potato and beef rice, Professor Bian called and asked him to go to the laboratory. He didn't dare to neglect the cancer-related seminars and academic exchanges. After explaining the situation to the dean, he didn't eat, changed his clothes and drove there.

The hospital is not too far from the laboratory. About half an hour later, Nie Changsheng appeared at the gate of the medical experiment base located in the suburbs of H City. This is a dangerous area, and there are no idlers within a radius of five kilometers. After getting the card, the security guard at the gate let him in without checking his car.

Ever since he knew that the experimental base would also be engaged in some research that goes against the laws of nature, Nie Changsheng was reluctant to come here. Some prohibited research programs expressly stipulated by the state have shown signs of resurgence here. There are many people like him who can distinguish right from wrong, and those illegal experimental researches are temporarily put on hold.

Perhaps it was due to his resistance to this experimental base, or perhaps he was always thinking about what the angry Zhuang Lingxiao would do next. Nie Changsheng wanted to restrain his speculations, but that guy's arrogant face flashed in his mind, and he couldn't find it. The culprit who made him angry, and he couldn't find a way to vent it, Zhuang Lingxiao would definitely create something...

It is rare for Nie Changsheng to desert in an academic seminar, but he never smiles, even if he is in a trance, the professors who made sonorous remarks next to him didn't notice it, but Professor Bian took a look at him and called him with a smile. Nie Changsheng expressed his opinion.

Although he was distracted, this kind of clichéd academic meeting was too simple for Nie Changsheng. He didn't talk eloquently, but simply stated various common clinical symptoms, and easily passed by.

This kind of academic seminar usually lasts for several hours. Nie Changsheng stayed with everyone until the evening, and the dinner was also settled at the base. Since He Hongwu lived in the house, Zhuang Lingxiaojiu occupied his apartment again, and Zhuang Lingxiao was still angry. Among them, Nie Changsheng wisely chose to stay in the dormitory at the base. Anyway, there were a few like-minded people staying with him.

Nie Changsheng's work and rest time is still punctual, and the two doctors in the same dormitory are still talking loudly. He is already lying on the bed and getting sleepy. Zhuang Lingxiao's happy and angry face has been filtered in his mind several times, and the mobile phone next to the bed suddenly rang up.

Nie Changsheng doesn't have a lot of contacts, and there aren't many people who have his mobile phone number. The only people who can call him at this time are...

However, Nie Changsheng's eyes gleamed to conceal the fleeting disappointment of the incoming call from an unfamiliar landline displayed on the screen. Seeing that the number displayed was from the city, he answered it.

It was a complaint call from the property management office of the apartment complex, saying that the music in his home was too loud, seriously disturbing the neighbors' work and rest time...

Nie Changsheng was speechless. Besides Zhuang Lingxiao, who else could make noise in his apartment?

That arbitrary guy!Use this naive and outrageous way to force him to give in, or even plead guilty?

Unable to be indifferent to the sleep quality of the neighbor, Nie Changsheng dialed the familiar phone number, and the call was connected, but Zhuang Lingxiao seemed to know that it was him, so he didn't answer it.

Nie Changsheng sighed silently, and after sending a message to Zhuang Lingxiao, he got up resignedly, changed his clothes, and took the car keys. Two colleagues who lived with him saw him coming home in the middle of the night, and both asked him why he returned Nie Changsheng bluntly said that "the family is making trouble in heaven", and the two colleagues knew that He Hongwu, who he adopted, was a mischievous child who often caused troubles, so they didn't say much.

Driving back to the downstairs of the apartment building, it was past one o'clock at night, and the world was completely silent. Nie Changsheng looked up and saw that there were only a few households upstairs with lights on, and one of them came from the house he lived on the sixth floor.

Nie Changsheng's concept of family relationship is relatively weak. His parents passed away when he was very young, and his relatives seldom interacted with him because they were worried that he would become a burden to them. After restoring contact, Nie Changsheng, who was overwhelmed by the disturbance, moved to City H for this reason, and only then did he cut off communication with them.

But keeping a light waiting for him to go home in the middle of the night left a trace of warmth in Nie Changsheng's heart no matter what, especially in such a cold night.

As a temporary consolation, Nie Changsheng smiled wryly, and Zhuang Lingxiao specially left a lamp for him, just to drive away all the darkness in front of him.
