Open hours

Chapter 45

The original 10-minute journey on the Elevated Highway was completed in 10 minutes by He Dingxisan.

He Dingxi drove to the gate of the community, and when he looked up, he saw the lights in his home.He withdrew his gaze, and the light made him feel happy.

The doorbell rang, Ning Jue opened the door and saw He Dingxi standing outside.

Ning Jue turned to the door and let He Dingxi in: "You didn't bring the key today?"

"Isn't it that you can't spare your hands?" He Dingxi put the big box at the entrance, and bent down to take off his shoes.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a big box spread out in the middle of the living room, which contained various things that Ning Jue had left at his house.

He Dingxi's heart skipped a beat, a thought flashed through his mind without warning, he was very familiar with such a scene.

"What's the matter?" He Dingxi closed the door with his backhand, without any clue on his face, he asked seemingly casually, "Is there a job again temporarily?"

Ning Jue turned and walked towards the box, only then did He Dingxi see that he was holding two coats in his hand.

Ning Jue put the coat on the sofa and said, "No, I will take all my things away tonight."

He Dingxi was taken aback when he heard the words, the bad premonition in his heart just now became stronger.But he didn't reveal the slightest emotion, instead he joked nonchalantly: "Why, the big star is going to take me back to the golden house to hide her beauty? Well, it's not impossible."

Ning Jue stopped what he was doing, and looked up at He Dingxi.He knew that he still had a chance to regret it, as long as he made a harmless joke along the steps He Dingxi gave, the current relationship between him and He Dingxi could still be maintained.

But so what.Ning Jue thought, things that were not his would naturally be lost when the time came.He has lost too many precious things.

Then it's better to end when you can bear it.

He Dingxi's familiar smile appeared on Ning Jue's face, and just when He Dingxi thought that his broken mouth was about to say something indecent again, Ning Jue said suddenly: "Our relationship ends here, He Dingxi, thank you these days, I am very happy."

He Dingxi's heart sank, he looked at Ning Jue, but didn't speak.

At this time, the landline at home suddenly rang, and He Dingxi hurried to the coffee table as if he was eager to avoid something.

Before answering the phone, He Dingxi suddenly asked Ning Jue: "Meet someone better?"

Amidst the noisy phone ringing, Ning Jue looked at He Dingxi's back and said sincerely: "There is no one better than you, Mr. He."

The call came from the property management. He Dingxi delivered the supper that Ning Jue had ordered before returning home, and the manager delivered it to the door later.

After hanging up the phone, He Dingxi had collected his emotions, turned his back to Ning Jue, and asked, "Then why is it so sudden?"

Ning Jue came out of the master bedroom, holding two dust bags in his hands: "I just find it boring and annoying. Besides, my schedule is very full, and I don't want to waste energy on these things."

Ning Jue's business activities are intensive, flying in the sky almost every day.Most of the domestic cities can be reached directly, but as long as time permits, he will make a detour back to City S for a transit, and use this short time to meet He Dingxi.

"Don't forget what we said at the beginning, as long as one party doesn't want to continue, our relationship will be terminated at any time." Ning Jue looked away, put the two coats into the dust bag, and threw them in the suitcase Up: "I've packed up the things you left in my house and brought them here. If you lose anything, you can contact Xiaoye at any time."

They didn't even deserve to say goodbye, it was just a simple farewell.This is no different from the countless endings that He Dingxi has experienced before.Even with just a glance or a hint, both parties will disappear into their respective worlds.

He Dingxi held on to the phone receiver without saying a word, and the busy tone kept coming from the receiver.This is the most natural gathering and parting between adults, and he has no position to say anything else.

Both of them fell silent suddenly, and Nuo Da's house was eerily quiet, even the busy tone on the receiver was amplified infinitely.

"Then..." Ning Jue closed the suitcase, stood up and looked at He Ding's back.After a while, he said, "Then I'll go first."

He Dingxi didn't speak, didn't say goodbye, and didn't hold back, he didn't even look back at Ning Jue.

Ning Jue withdrew his gaze, where He Dingxi couldn't see, he could no longer support the smile on his face.Ning Jue suddenly felt a little tired, he silently picked up the coat on the sofa, dragged the suitcase and walked out the door.

Just when Ning Jue was about to push the door out, there was a sound of "crash" from behind, and He Dingxi came to Ning Jue like a gust of wind, grabbed his wrist, and pressed him against the door panel .

In the chaos, Ning Jue looked over He Dingxi's shoulder and saw the unlucky landline falling to the ground in all directions.

He Dingxi bullied himself and approached Ning Jue, looking straight into his eyes.

Ning Jue looked up at He Dingxi.He was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled sternly and said, "What? Teacher He wants to have a breakup/gun?"

As he said that, he leaned forward and kissed He Dingxi's lips, and restlessly followed He Dingxi's waist to pick up his shirt, and nimbly slipped into the hem.

He Dingxi turned his head to avoid this unclear kiss, and pressed Ning Jue's hand.He lowered his eyes, looked at Ning Jue, and asked, "Is this your truth?"

"From the beginning, we were acting on the occasion, how can there be so many people who are sincere and unintentional." Ning Jue stopped the movements of his hands and staggered his gaze.He laughed and shook his head: "Could it be that you really want to have a relationship with me on a whim?"

He Dingxi was taken aback when he heard the words, and let go of Ning Jue's hand. He found that he couldn't answer Ning Jue's question.

He didn't want to let Ning Jue walk out of this door, and he couldn't convince himself to enter a relationship.He thinks that Ning Jue is right, the two of them originally started with a transaction.Now that one party proposes to end the transaction, there is no reason for the other party to stalk.

What's more, with He Anbei watching over him, ending this relationship with Ning Jue at this time may be the best choice for both of them.

Although the photos sent by He Anbei last time did not cause any irreparable impact, some fans still fell in love silently.They carefully compared the itineraries of the two, and found more and more clues.A tall building was built in the anonymous forum, but it was quickly dealt with by He Dingxi's public relations team.

"If you need it at work, I will cooperate with you in time." Ning Jue passed He Dingxi and pulled up the suitcase on the ground again.

He Dingxi's silence fell into Ning Jue's eyes, he already knew the answer.

"I..." He Dingxi paused, and finally regained his former composure.He said to Ning Jue politely, "I'll take you down."

"Don't bother." Ning Jue had already walked out of the door, he stood outside the door, turned around and said to He Dingxi: "Mr. He, goodbye."

After Ning Jue finished speaking, he closed the door smoothly.He Dingxi stared at Ning Jue outside the door without blinking, until the door closed in front of his eyes, until the sound of the elevator arriving, until there was no more sound outside the door.

***

When Ning Jue came to the underground parking lot, Xiaoye's car was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

Xiaoye took the suitcase in Ning Jue's hand, glanced back, wondering, "Where's Teacher He?"

Xiaoye originally thought that she was here to pick up Ning Jue and He Dingxi tonight.

"He..." Ning Jue stopped after uttering a word.As if he didn't know where to start, he didn't finish the next sentence.

"Let's go." Finally Ning Jue said.

After saying these words, Ning Jue finally let go of the ease with which he had been carrying the whole night.He leaned into the car and sat silently in the back seat.

When Xiaoye was about to close the car door, she inadvertently glanced at Ning Jue.For a moment, he saw an indescribable sadness on Ning Jue's face.

The car door closed quickly in front of Xiaoye, and Xiaoye got into the car suspiciously.Before the car started, he took a worried look in the rearview mirror.

Ning Jue was reclining on the back of the chair with headphones plugged in.The brim of his hat was pulled down, and the expression on his face was the same as usual.

It seemed that the fragility in his eyes just now was just Xiaoye's momentary illusion.

After Xiaoye sent Ning Jue home, Ning Jue asked him to get off work and go back to rest.Before leaving, Xiaoye glanced back through the crack of the door with some worry.

He saw Ning Jue under the light, opening the box that he brought back from He Dingxi's house.

In fact, there is nothing special in the box, they are all personal belongings that Ning Jue left at He Dingxi's house before.Ning Jue squatted halfway in front of the suitcase and stared blankly for a while, then took out a piece of paper from a pile of clothes, sunglasses, and razors.

That was the cooperation agreement they signed at the beginning, and Ning Jue's signature was placed next to He Dingxi's regular seal, like an unscrupulous joke.

That's not quite accurate, it was originally a joke.

Ning Jue stared at the paper for a while, then got up and walked into the audio-visual room.He found the big box containing the complete works of He Dingxi's movies from the shelf, and put this piece of paper in it together.

Then he sorted out the things in the suitcase and put them in the previous positions one by one.It turns out that accepting loss is not a big deal, Ning Jue thought, it's just a return to the original life.

After finishing these things, it's getting late.Ning Jue took a quick shower, turned off the light in the bedroom before drying her hair, and wrapped herself in a big soft quilt from head to toe.

Before going to sleep, Ning Jue turned off the phone and threw it aside.He knew no one would call him before bed tonight.
