Strangers bloom again

Chapter 204 Falling in love with someone, falling in love with a city (6)

"Mo Sheng, eat slowly, your stomach will hurt if you eat too fast!" Seeing Mo Sheng gobbling, Lin Xiaonuan reminded him naturally.

When Mo Sheng used to work, he always worked overtime and couldn’t eat on time, so he often suffered from stomach pains. As long as he ate a little faster, his stomach would cramp.

"Thank you!" Mo Sheng squeezed out two words from his throat, and immediately lowered his head and looked at the empty bowl in a daze.

At this moment, Lin Xiaonuan's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Shaoting.

She paused a little while holding the phone, then glanced at Mo Sheng.

Mo Sheng pretended not to see her move, took out a cigarette and strode to the window, lit the cigarette and took a sip, exhaling a beautiful smoke ring.

"Hello, Shaoting!" Lin Xiaonuan hesitated for a moment, then answered Lei Shaoting's call.

She knew in her heart that if she didn't answer the call, Lei Shaoting would not be able to contact her, and he would definitely look for her like crazy.

"Xiao Nuan, when will your side end? I'll pick you up!" Lei Shaoting rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up from the sofa.

He had been waiting at home for Lin Xiaonuan to come back, but in the end he fell asleep lying on the sofa.

After waking up just now, seeing that Lin Xiaonuan hadn't come back, he became more and more worried.

"Shaoting, you—you don't need to come here. I just finished here, and I'm going to go back now!" Lin Xiaonuan glanced at Mo Sheng who was standing in front of the window, he was surrounded by smoke, his back was like this thin.

"It's so late, I don't worry about you coming back alone! I'm going downstairs right now, you wait for me!" Lei Shaoting jumped off the sofa, picked up his coat and was about to go out.

"Shaoting, no need, it will take half an hour for you to come here, and I'll be home in this time!" Lin Xiaonuan expected that Lei Shaoting would rush over to pick her up non-stop.

"That's true, then you ask Chen Hao to answer the phone, and I told him that I must send you to the taxi in person, and take a photo of the license plate number and send it to me!" Lei Shaoting was as careful as dust, he didn't take Lin Xiaonuan Don't worry about the arrangement.

"Chen Hao? He's not at home! Shaoting, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not a child, and I can't get lost with my eyes closed on the road from Xiao Ying's house to our house, don't worry! Before I get in the car I will send you the license plate number!" Lin Xiaonuan was sometimes overwhelmed by Lei Shaoting's meticulous care and worry.

But it was precisely this concern and worry that gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaonuan couldn't help but smile as he recalled the conversation just now.

"Go, I'll take you downstairs!" Mo Sheng pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, picked up Lin Xiaonuan's handbag and coat, and walked straight to the door.

"No, I'll just go down by myself!" Lin Xiaonuan was at a loss for Mo Sheng's sudden move.

While talking, Mo Sheng had pushed the door out and pressed the button of the elevator.

He strode into the elevator, Lin Xiaonuan hesitated for a moment, gently closed the door and followed him into the elevator.

The two walked one after the other on the narrow path in the community.

On an early winter night, with the cool wind blowing, Lin Xiaonuan couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly.

The flowers and plants on the side of the road are a little withered, and the dead leaves of the trees are all over the ground, giving people a very desolate feeling.

"Xiao Nuan" and "Mo Sheng" called each other's name at the same time.

Then they laughed out loud in unison.

"You talk first!" Mo Sheng lit another cigarette, and lightly exhaled a wisp of white smoke ring.

"Since when did you start smoking again?" Because Lin Xiaonuan has always had pharyngitis and is more sensitive to pungent smells, Mo Sheng never smoked before.

But this time when he came back, Mo Sheng not only learned to smoke again, but also seemed to be addicted to smoking.

In the past, Lei Shaoting would light a cigarette from time to time, but since he was with Lin Xiaonuan, he knew that she had pharyngitis, so he quit smoking completely.

Even though Lin Xiaonuan's pharyngitis is completely cured now, Lei Shaoting doesn't want to smoke anymore, because he said that he used to smoke because he felt lonely.

"After we separated, I suddenly picked it up again! At first, one or two cigarettes a day, then four or five cigarettes a day, and then seven or eight cigarettes a day. Now I can't leave my cigarettes, and I can't quit." Mo Sheng deeply Sighing deeply, he turned his head to one side and flicked the cigarette ash in his hand.

"Let's smoke as little as possible, it's not good for your health!" Lin Xiaonuan didn't know what to say at the moment, it seemed that nothing was right.

In the past, Mo Sheng smoked because she didn't smoke, and now he smokes because of her.

Mo Sheng didn't make a sound, but silently cut off the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can.

"Are your parents healthy?" Mo Sheng's parents were the people Lin Xiaonuan wanted to see most in the past four years. Although they had no chance to meet each other in the end, they were as close as family members in Lin Xiaonuan's heart.

"It's good. My dad suffered a cerebral infarction and was hospitalized some time ago. Now he has been actively doing rehabilitation treatment, and he has almost recovered!" Mo Sheng seemed a little surprised by Lin Xiaonuan's question.

"Xiaonuan, are you—are you okay with him?" Mo Sheng suddenly stopped, and stood quietly at the spot, looking at Lin Xiaonuan's figure of Ping Ting walking away step by step.

"We are fine! I plan to take a vacation for a while and take him home to meet my parents!" Lin Xiaonuan had a happy smile on her face, and she didn't notice Mo Sheng who was still in place at all.

"You - why did you help me?" Mo Sheng suddenly lowered his voice, with an inexplicable tremor in his voice.

It was only then that Lin Xiaonuan realized that Mo Sheng had been standing where she was, quietly watching her receding back.

Lin Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around calmly, with a slight smile on his lips, "Mo Sheng, I'm not helping you. Actually, I'm helping myself, and I'm helping my friends too. , to help my family. Xiao Ying, Chen Hao and you are no longer my friends, but you have always been my family in my heart. For you, I am obliged."

Mo Sheng's eyes darkened in an instant, and there was a touch of melancholy in the dark eyes.
