Just as the drunkard finished speaking, Xin zimo threw another punch, causing the drunkard to fall to the ground.
"stop trying to be a hero! " The drunkard fell to the ground, still holding du Anran's bag in his hand.
"Who told you to touch her? " Xin Zimo's voice was hoarse. He grabbed the corner of his shirt and pressed him against the wall.
The drunkard was no match for Xin Zimo, but he could not bear to part with his belongings, so he took out a knife from his body.
From Xin Zimo's angle, he could not see the knife, but from Du Anran's point of view, he could see a white flash of the knife.
"BE CAREFUL! Knife! " Du Anran shouted.
The drunkard's knife also stabbed at Xin Zimo at that moment. Xin Zimo heard Du Anran's voice and deftly avoided the sharp knife. He grabbed the DRUNKARD's wrist and pressed it hard. With a "clang" , the knife fell to the ground.
However, the knife was too sharp, and the back of his hand was still cut.
"should I send you to the police station now, or do you want to get lost? " Xin Zimo said sternly.
The drunkard did not care about anything else. He rolled out of the first floor and disappeared in the rain in the blink of an eye.
Du Anran's violent heartbeat slowly calmed down at that moment. There was already a layer of cold sweat behind her back.
Initially, she thought that this place was quite safe. After all, the entire residential area was not considered remote. However, she did not expect that such a thing would happen in the corridor.
Xin Zimo went up to the second floor. He reached out to pull her up from the ground and returned the bag to her.
"Thank you, " Du Anran said.
"That's all you know how to say. " Xin zimo frowned.
Du Anran did not know what to say to him. Should she give him money to express her gratitude Forget it. How could he be interested in her money.
The atmosphere between the two of them was a little strange. Xin Zimo had been looking at her, but she was at a loss while holding the bag.
When she was lowering her head, she saw that the back of his hand was bleeding under the dim light.
"You... are bleeding. Let me help you bandage it. " Du Anran opened the bag and began to rummage around ...
Xin Zimo did not speak and only stared at her.
Just as she was concentrating on searching, the lights on the first floor were turned off.
The surroundings were completely plunged into darkness and nothing could be seen. Xin Zimo could no longer see du Anran, and Du Anran could no longer see Xin Zimo.
Between the two of them, there was only darkness.
This darkness was like a silent dream that was woven. Du Anran did not know whether it was night or a dream.
It was not until Xin Zimo said calmly, "aren't you going to invite me up? "
Since he had asked, she could not refuse him. After all, he had saved her at night, and the back of his hand was still bleeding.
Du Anran pursed her lips and walked to the third floor in the dark. She had climbed the stairs back and forth so many times, so she was familiar with it even without the lights.
Fortunately, the lights on the third floor were not broken, and they did not break all the way to the sixth floor.
Xin Zimo followed her all the way to the sixth floor. It was his first time coming here, and it was much simpler than he had imagined.
But he did not expect the room to be even more simple. It could even be said that there was nothing in it.
It was a small place with two bedrooms and a living room. Every room was compact. The kitchen was next to the living room, and there was only a door in the middle. There were two rooms. One of them was used by Du Anran to pile up the sundries, and the other was a place to sleep.
As soon as Du Anran entered the house, she went to look for the medicine box. She lived alone, so the medicine box was a common thing. If there was a minor illness, she would be able to deal with it.
Xin zimo looked at the place. Although it was a little messy, it was clean, especially the kitchen. It did not feel like it had been touched at all.
"I'll sterilize it for you. " Du Anran took the medicine box over and skillfully opened the alcohol bottle and cotton swab.
Xin Zimo's hand was fine. It was just a little bleeding, but it had almost stopped.
However, Du Anran wanted to sterilize it for him, so he did not refuse.
He reached out his hand, and Du Anran lowered her head to wipe the alcohol off his blood. When she approached him, he smelled the Rosemary in her hair. It had never changed.
It had been four months, and he had not seen her for four whole months.
He had been watching her. She had changed a lot. There was an unprecedented maturity in her body.
"okay, there's nothing else. " Du anran threw away the cotton swab and closed the medical box.
"Anran, don't you have anything to say to me? " Xin Zimo asked.
"It's late. You can go now. " Du Anran got up and put the medical box back in its original place.
She packed her bag again. There was work to be done the next day. She had copied it back with a USB drive.
She would lose sleep if she went to bed too early. It was better to do some work.
However, she was hungry at this time, so she went to the refrigerator to look for something. There was only one bottle of drink left. Sigh, she forgot to go to the supermarket again.
She could not forget tomorrow no matter what, so she would make do today.
"Can I... Stay tonight? " Xin zimo begged ...
Du Anran's hand that was opening the drink paused. Without thinking, she said, "you broke your promise. "
In the beginning, he was the one who promised that he would let her go from now on. Now, he could not do it.
In the past few months, she felt that she was living quite well. When she was busy with work, she would not think of him. When she went home, she would either continue working or read books to supplement herself.
He did not come to disturb her. When she was looking for a job, he did not interfere. When she thought that it had nothing to do with him, he came to find her again.
"I thought that I could not see you for the rest of my life. I overestimated myself... " when Xin Zimo said this, his entire person was dejected.
When she moved out of the Du residence, he could not control his desire to see her. She was like his poison. He tried hard to get rid of her, but he found that he was sinking deeper and deeper.
He restrained himself and immersed himself in his work as usual. He went to attend meetings, flew to various countries around the world, and took over major projects... ...
He did not give himself time to think about her. He thought that if this continued, he would definitely forget about her.
But this love had become a Voodoo. There was a place in his heart that ultimately seemed to be hollowed out.
He admitted defeat, and once again, he suffered a crushing defeat.
He wanted to see her. This thought was bone-deep.
"You just didn't try your best, " Du Anran said calmly. "I have to work. You should go back early. I won't send you off. "
She took a sip of her drink. It was so cold. She couldn't drink in this kind of weather, so she had to boil some water.
"Why are you still working at night? Did you eat dinner? " Xin zimo frowned.
"So, I said that you didn't try your best because you gave yourself too much free time. If you try to work during the day and work at night, I'm afraid that you'll let go in less than a month. "
Du Anran opened her laptop and inserted the USB. She skillfully found the work documents and started working as if there was no one else around.
It was only nine o'clock now. She was already used to sleeping late and would suffer from insomnia if she slept too early.
"Do you think I haven't tried? I used to work day and night for a week, but in the end, not only did I not forget, but my memory is even more vivid. "
"Oh, then you can try to find beautiful women. They always have a panacea for men. I'm serious. "
Du Anran was indeed not joking. Those women always had a magic weapon in their hands that made men happy. Once they were physically happy, the haze in their hearts would naturally disperse.
"I'll take it that I've disturbed you. Goodbye. "
He was talking to her very seriously, but she only used these words to brush him off. Her heart was really dead.
Xin Zimo stood up. Du Anran really did not send him off. She just stared at the notebook.
As the door closed, Du Anran was stunned for a few seconds. But when she lowered her head to look at the words on the screen, she started working again.
She still had so many things to do and did not have time to think about anything else.
However, when she flipped through the documents in the notebook, she saw the collaboration project with the Xin Corporation. Feng Jing said that he wanted her to follow up on this project because he trusted her, but only she herself knew how reluctant she was.
She could follow it day by day. If she could not avoid meeting Xin Zimo, she could just find an excuse to take a leave of absence.
As the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold one. Although the heavy rain from yesterday stopped in the morning, the temperature of the entire place dropped sharply.
Du Anran woke up early in the morning and sneezed when she opened the window. It was so cold.
She quickly picked a thick sweater to put on and brought a coat with her to the company. She still had to meet the people from the Xin Corporation today. However, since they had almost finished talking yesterday, there should not be much of a problem today.
Du Anran went to the office early in the morning despite the wind, but as expected, no one came. Even the security guard said, "Miss Du, you're the first one to come to work again. ".
As soon as she arrived at the office, she turned on the air conditioner. It was really too cold, so she didn't Save Feng Jing any money.
The people from the company came one after another, and Du Anran had already done half of the work on hand. Fortunately, Zhongye was big enough, otherwise, the work wouldn't be enough for her.
Therefore, as soon as Feng Jing came, du Anran threw a big pile of things on his desk.
"President Feng, please approve... "
Feng Jing was shocked. "Du Anran, when did you do so much work again? Didn't you sleep yesterday? Didn't I tell you to rest more? "
"Why don't you understand that I'm efficient? I can do the work that other people can only do in an hour. "
"I have a good understanding of Zhongye's tasks. You've done so much work. Tell me honestly, what time did you stay up until yesterday? You even have dark circles under your eyes! "
"What boss would complain about his employees working too much? " Du Anran curled her lips.
Actually, Feng Jing was right. She had been lying down several times last night and could not fall asleep, so she simply worked all the time. She worked until she was so tired that she wanted to sleep, so she went to sleep for a while.
There was nothing wrong with working hard like this.
"Have you eaten breakfast? " Feng Jing said, "I'm really afraid that you'll stay up late again, not eat breakfast, and you'll be overworked, and then... "
Feng Jing shrugged and spread his hands.
"Don't worry, President Feng. I'm not that weak. If I'm greedy for pleasure at such a young age, I'll regret it when I'm old. If I don't work hard in my youth, I'll be sad. " Du Anran made a face at Feng Jing.
