"Tell her to be smart, she's so capable."

...

"Okay, don't say anything about her. If she doesn't submit the form tomorrow, she'll be criticized again at the meeting." Ruan Xin had no choice but to pull her to the side.

"You know." When she talked about this, Zhang Yi's smile faded and she looked sad.

The two walked towards the bus stop.

While standing and waiting for the bus, Ruan Xin suddenly came to her senses. She had changed her place of residence and now had to take the subway.

"Bus No. 23 is here. I'll go back first." Zhang Yi's voice came again.

"Yeah." Ruan Xin nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Watching Zhang Yi get on the bus, she turned around dejectedly and walked towards the subway station. Li Ming, who was not far away, looked at her with some deep thoughts in his eyes.

After taking the subway for six stops, there were shared bicycles next to the subway station when she left. She could get to the community after riding for a few more minutes.

On the way, she could also buy some fresh fruits, which were quite cheap.

When we got home, Ye Xiaoai had already returned and was busy in the kitchen. Ruan Xin walked over to see her and asked, "What are you cooking?"

"Coke chicken wings." She turned her head and smiled and replied, "Let's eat together later? I cooked a lot."

"No need..."

"Let's eat together. I've just learned to cook, and it's boring to eat alone. Come out and eat with me later."

Ye Xiaoai insisted on inviting her. Ruan Xin thought they could get along well under the same roof, so she agreed, "Then I'll be thick-skinned."

"It's okay, it's all small things." Ye Xiaoai said with a smile, and put some more chopped green onions in the pot, "Help me taste it, but this is my first time making this dish."

Ruan Xin nodded, said hello, put the fruit on the table outside, and then went back to the room.

After she put everything out, she took the fruit to wash it and put it on the table.

Coke chicken wings, fried broccoli, chopped green onion eggs, plus a white radish and pork ribs soup

"It's so rich. Do they want to eat together?" Ruan Xin went to get food and looked at her and asked.

"Sister Xiaolan is on a business trip. She lives in that room." Ye Xiaoai pointed to the door next to Ruan Xin and then lowered her voice. "As for the one who lives next to me, she is back, but she never pays attention to us. I have lived here for a year. I called her to cook before, but she never came out."

"I won't call her later."

"Is that so." Ruan Xin understood. She had seen Xiaolan. Last night, when she got up to go to the bathroom, she bought barbecue and asked her if she wanted to eat.

She looked very enthusiastic. As for the other one, she had no contact, so it was hard to judge.

"I'll try your cooking skills." Ruan Xin held the bowl, smiled, picked up a piece of chicken wing, and took a bite.

The taste was indeed good. It was not good in color and fragrance, but it was also delicious.

Hearing her sincere praise, Ye Xiaoai's eyes curved.

The two chatted casually. From the chat, I learned that Ye Xiaoai was also from outside the province. She went to college here and stayed here with her college boyfriend.

I can't get used to the food here, so I've been learning to cook.

After dinner.

Ruan Xin wanted to wash the dishes.

"I can do it myself." Ye Xiaoai stopped her.

"I'm good at washing dishes, you should go take a shower." Ruan Xin took the dishes to the kitchen and put them in the sink.

After eating someone else's food, you naturally have to do other work.

Then, Ye Xiaoai went to take a shower, and Ruan Xin was washing the dishes.

When she came out of the shower, Ruan Xin had just washed the dishes, dried her hands, and gave half of the washed fruit to her.

There is no living room or TV here. They took the fruit and went back to their rooms.

The sound insulation of the room is very good. As soon as Ruan Xin entered, the world was quiet again. She put the fruit on the table and felt depressed.

It seems that she can't get motivated to do anything.

Life is boring.

At half past nine, Ji Yang called her on video. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. She ate fruit and looked at him on the other end of the video.

I don't know what topic to talk about. Sometimes I just look at each other. Both of them are trying to bring up a topic.

"It's getting late, don't stay up late, go to bed early." Ji Yang spoke first.

"You too, good night."

...

The phone was hung up again. In fact, no one wanted to hang up, but they didn't know what to say. It was a little awkward.

It seemed that something was changing. Looking back on this year, their feelings had disappeared a lot. I don't know if it was because they tried too hard this year, or because they had too many expectations for the future, so they were hit hard.

That night, Ruan Xin still couldn't fall asleep.

Tossed and turned.

In the past, when they were in different places, if she didn't sleep, she would send him a message. If he didn't sleep either, he would get up, walk to the corridor of the dormitory, call her, or the two of them would send messages and imagine the future together.

She picked up the phone many times, but in the end she didn't send him a message. He was tired from work today and had to work overtime tomorrow.

Forget it.

A few days later.

After get off work, Ruan Xin walked to the subway station. Li Ming stopped her and looked puzzled, "Don't you live near Xihe? You can take the bus directly there."

She avoided his gaze and looked a little unnatural, "I moved to a new place."

"Changed place? Aren't you living with your boyfriend?" Li Ming asked again, and then explained, "Sorry, if I said something wrong, don't mind, I just asked."

"Yeah, I live alone." Ruan Xin lowered her eyes. She didn't know what her relationship with Ji Yang was. The two of them were still getting used to each other.

As for whether they could get together again, neither of them knew.

"Living alone is quite free and convenient." Li Ming smiled to ease the atmosphere, "Where do you live now?"

Ruan Xin forced a smile, "Beihe Road."

"Beihe Road? That's where I live too. I live on Jiahe Road above Beihe Road. Can I take you there?" Li Ming said.
