After staying in Ludao for ten days, He Ruyi took her daughter to go back to West City. The summer vacation has been played for more than a month, and the rest of the time the children have to make up their homework and go to interest classes.

Ning Xi didn't go back with them, she wanted to go to other places.

There is no one waiting for her to go back in the west city. She won't write manuscripts for the time being. If she takes this time to go for a walk, maybe she will have new inspiration.

The night before leaving Ludao, she received Liang Xinhe's WeChat message, and chatted without knowing it.

Until she saw the string of words:

"I'm so envious of the life of a freelancer!!! Tears~"

"Then can I expect gifts at every stop?"

"Haha just kidding!"

Ning Xi stared at these few words and pondered for a while, then her eyes became tangled, she really didn't know how to answer.

Liang Xinhe obviously wanted to relax the atmosphere, talked a little faster, and took care of his emotions.

Ning Xi's heart was slightly sour, an indescribable sourness, not only sour, but also a little indescribable feeling.

To make friends, this means breaking out of one's comfort zone more or less, and both parties need to be willing.

She also has to receive Liang Xinhe's affection, she is so friendly and caring to herself.

Go back and invite her to dinner, she is sincere.

The next day, she flew to Shanghai, checked into the reserved hotel, and then called Yu Bei to ask her to meet.

She didn't say hello in advance, Yu Bei was taken aback and rushed to the hotel after get off work.

The last time the two met was two or three years ago. Yu Bei wore a silk suit and a pair of daddy shoes. He looked light and refreshing. When he saw Ning Xi, he smiled and strode over to give her a hug.

Ning Xi paused for a moment, and accepted the hug without avoiding it.

After Yu Bei sat down, his smile grew wider. He looked at her carefully and wondered, "Ning Xi, why aren't you old at all?"

The kumquat lemon passion fruit tea ordered just now while waiting for someone was already on the table. Ning Xi picked it up, poured her a cup, and pushed it in front of her.

"Thank you." Yu Bei took a sip, put down the glass, and continued to look at her, "You look good, so I can rest assured, as expected, it's good to go out for a walk."

Ning Xi nodded.

"How many days do you plan to stay in Shencheng?"

"...Not yet." Ning Xi wanted to go shopping in bookstores and watch dramas, so she was not in a hurry to leave for the time being.

"Wow. Do you want me to be your guide?"

Ning Xi declined: "It's not the first time I've come here, so you can do your work."

"I'm so envious, I also want to take an instant trip!" Yu Bei wailed.

Ning Xi's eyes flashed, and her lips curved slightly.

"Hey, what's the matter? What did you think of?" Yu Bei's eyes were sharp, and his heart of gossip ignited instantly, "Who did you think of?"

Ning Xi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Bei blinked, "You laughed so sweetly just now! You must have thought of someone!"

Ning Xi: "..."

She froze for a second and said, "I didn't smile."

"You obviously laughed...well," Yu Bei changed the subject, "I couldn't say it on the phone before, didn't you say you didn't have inspiration, or change the subject, you haven't written any romance yet!"

Ning Xi lowered her eyes: "I can't write."

Yu Bei smiled: "Why can't I write it? Didn't you say you have a partner before? Could it be that you lied to me?" She looked exaggerated, "You can't be a mother?""

Ning Xi: "I haven't killed anyone, and I can still write reasoning and suspense."

Yu Bei touched his chin thoughtfully, and said to himself: "If there is no direct answer, that means..."

"We separated." Ning Xi said.

Yu Bei choked.

There was an awkward silence between the two of them.

Yu Bei smiled dryly: "Then it's better to write reasoning, ha ha, ha ha..."

……

Ning Xi stayed in Shanghai for two weeks, visited many bookstores, and saw a lot of his works, almost all of which were on the shelves, except for the "Grandmother".

In addition to visiting bookstores, I just watch dramas and exhibitions.Go to some representative old houses to take pictures and archive them as materials for writing.

Peace of mind is now the best time to relax and recharge.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Yu Bei asked her to have a manicure, a facial, and a haircut.

"I like the way you look now, it feels like your whole body is relaxed." Yu Bei said to her.

"...It's really good to go out for a walk." Ning Xi said.

Good is good.

Yu Bei glanced at her again, smiled and said nothing, but sighed inwardly.

Although she was relaxed and took the initiative to get along with her a lot more than before, she felt that Ning Xi always had a sad aura, faintly.

It's just that the smile that suddenly bloomed on Ning Xi's face that day was very real, light, and smiled naturally from his heart.

Based on her many years of experience in love, there must be someone special in her life, but she hasn't discovered it yet, or hasn't started yet?Or it has already started and is still in the ambiguous period...

Yu Bei felt that he had reviewed too many romance drafts recently, so his head was full of pink bubbles.

"Hey, let me tell you something. Someone is interested in the film and television copyright of the book "Grandmother", but I'm still talking about it."

Ning Xi pursed her lips.

"My friend, you must keep writing! There is always someone who will know what you are talking about, and you are still far from old!" Yu Bei smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Smile."

Even if it's just a horoscope, no matter whether it will come true in the end, the news has been injected into Ning Xi's veins like a shot in the arm, and she smiled lightly.

The night before leaving Shanghai, Ning Xi received a WeChat message from Liang Xinhe.At that time, after taking a shower, she was wearing a nightgown and standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the scenery of the Huangpu River.

"Which city are you in now?"

She asked easily, and Ning Xi replied, "Go to Beicheng tomorrow."

"What a coincidence, the last time we talked, you were just about to leave Ludao."

"It's quite a coincidence." Ning Xi smiled slightly.

"Are you planning to stay in each city for two or three weeks?"

"No time was planned."

"Do whatever you want, I'm so envious!"

Ning Xi looked at these words, the corners of her lips curled up slightly

Suddenly, she paused and touched her lips, as if she was really smiling.

Flipping up with fingertips, staring at these chat records in a daze.

It was almost a second, she chatted with Liang Xinhe naturally without deliberation or entanglement.

Between the two of them, the embarrassment, coldness, and silence were finally overcome, and a tacit understanding was reached that went with the flow.

Ning Xi didn't know Liang Xinhe's state, anyway, it was the first time she felt this way with someone.

For the first time, I experienced the relationship between people, breaking through the obscurity and embarrassment in the early stage, and after being polite and decent, I reached a natural and bright state.

She was quiet for a while, silently experiencing this novel feeling.

The dialog box was quiet, wondering what Liang Xinhe was thinking, whether he had the same experience as himself.

It is the comfort of familiarity and the surprise of first knowledge.

"Hi~" Liang Xinhe sent a waving rabbit emoji.

Ning Xi laughed.

The night scene outside the window is bright, the river is dotted with stars, and the long night is not coming.

"Are you going to travel around the country just now? If I want to wait for you to treat me to dinner, won't I have to wait until the year of the monkey?"

"No need, I will go back to Xicheng after I go to Beicheng."

"Ok~"

After saying a few more words about the weather, Liang Xinhe said that he was going to sleep, and the community animal had to go to work tomorrow.

"Good night." She texted.

Ning Xi collected herself and did not reply to this sentence.

She went to Beicheng mainly to visit her elder brother Ning Huai's family.

Graduate student Ning Huai studied in Beicheng, and married his girlfriend after graduation. Now he has a daughter and a son, and his family life is very happy.

The two siblings both wear glasses, and their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar.

Ning Huai knew that her younger sister didn't like to talk about her own affairs, so she took the initiative to talk about her recent situation. The eldest daughter Ning Ning is going to take the high school entrance examination this year, and the youngest son is very naughty and playful, and his grades are not bad.

Ning Huai stared at his younger sister with a smile: "I remember that when you transferred to Xicheng, it was also Xiao Ning's age. So many years have passed in a flash."

Since his younger sister was taken away by his father, the two brothers and sisters rarely saw each other. It was also at the age of the high school entrance examination that they had more time to enhance their relationship. Unfortunately, he came to Beicheng to develop again later, and the two brothers and sisters got together less and separated more.

After he had his own family, he had no means to spare, and he neglected to take care of and care for his younger sister.

According to He Ruyi, she and Zhang Nisi have completely separated.

It's a good thing, and it's not a good thing.

Now she was alone again.

Ning Huai couldn't put his worries on the surface, because he still had some news to tell her.

"There is something..." He thought about his words.

Their parents divorced when Ning Xi was seven years old, and they did not remarry for many years afterwards. When Ning Xi was 20 years old, his father remarried and immigrated, and they had no contact with them.

As juniors, they hoped that their mother could also find someone they liked, but she kept focusing on her career until she retired and went to a university for the elderly.

A few months ago, my mother told herself that the other party was her old college classmate, a widower, a few years older than her, and her children also have families, so there was no need for the elderly to worry about it.They have the same interests and can chat well, getting along very well.

They have already lived together and plan to go to get the certificate during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mother hasn't told Ning Xi yet, as a son, as an elder brother, he can only convey it.

Ning Xi was silent for a while after listening, with a flat face: "This is her life, as long as she likes it."

"I've met that uncle. He's not bad, and his financial conditions are good. He also has a pension like his mother." In this case, as a child, you don't need to worry too much.

"Yes." Ning Xi nodded, "I see."

Ning Huai paused and said, "I plan to go back to the West City during the Mid-Autumn Festival and have a meal with them. You have no plans then, do you?"

Ning Xi was silent again, then nodded: "It should."

Ning Huai showed a gratified smile, and patted the hands she held together.

"It's just... maybe, she doesn't like my appearance..." Ning Xi looked helplessly, "Are you sure you want me to go with you?"

"Xiaoxi, don't be stupid, mom cares about you, she will be happy when you go."

Ning Xi reluctantly curled her lower lip, but didn't smile.

"Why don't we have a video with her now?" Ning Huai suggested.

Ning Xi looked at her brother and nodded, "Okay."

In the eyes of the elder brother, it seems that if there is a festival between mother and daughter, they will get back together again.

It was pretty good at first, everyone took care of their own, and they were polite.

But my elder brother was naive, thinking that mother and daughter should be intimate no matter what, and she didn't want to break his fantasy.

He made a video call and his mother quickly answered.

"mom."

"Hey? Are you free?" Mother smiled

"Yes, Xiaoxi is here too..."

The two of them watched the smile on the mother's face change from strong to light, and finally she said that she had something to do.The video call lasted just over a minute.

Ning Huai stopped talking, held the phone and looked at Ning Xi apologetically.

Ning Xi smiled instead, and patted him comfortingly.

The author has something to say:

There was talk about Ning Xi and her mother.

Happy Winter Solstice, thank you for following the series, see you on Thursday in the next chapter.
