The man on the other side seemed a bit excited. "Yes, Miss Bi Shuang. May I ask if there's also a lady named Ding Ruola traveling with you?"
Bi Shuang glanced at Ding Ruola. "Yes, there is."
"The situation is like this. There's been a major earthquake in your Qingze County. Rescue operations are underway in Liushan Town, the epicenter, and the nearby disaster - stricken areas. The survivors in the disaster areas have been transferred to Wenxizhai, the neighboring county. Please come to Wenxizhai immediately!"
When the car reached Wenxizhai, everyone's eyes were a bit red.
The village in front of them was intact, but it wasn't the familiar Liushan Town.
"Ruoruo!" As soon as she got out of the car, a man rushed over and hugged Ding Ruola tightly.
The familiar and reassuring scent instantly calmed the irritable factors in Fang Siyan.
Fang Siyan hugged his little wife tightly and didn't loosen his grip for a long time.
Ding Ruola looked up, a bit dazed.
As if she couldn't believe it, she stared at the man in front of her with round, wide - open eyes.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses. Extremely delighted, she hugged the man even tighter. "Lao Fang!"
The man's eye sockets were sunken, as if he hadn't slept for many days. There was new stubble on his chin, and his lips were a bit chapped.
He looked down at his little wife affectionately. His eyes were a bit vicissitudinous, as if two lifetimes had passed.
"Lao Fang, what's wrong with you? Is your business trip over? Why are you here?..." Her small hand touched Fang Siyan's chin. Ding Ruola looked extremely distressed.
"Ruoruo, be good. Let's go home..." Fang Siyan didn't answer Ding Ruola's questions. He lowered his head and kissed his little wife's forehead deeply, then said softly.
His voice was extremely weak, as if he hadn't eaten or rested well for many days, or as if he was afraid that speaking loudly would scare away the little person in his arms.
Fang Siyan trembled. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, but the hand holding Ding Ruola's unconsciously tightened.
Ding Ruola frowned and gave Fang Siyan a strange look.
Before she realized it, she was already sitting in the car.
"Xiaoshuang, I'm leaving first..." Looking a bit dazed, she stuck her head out of the window to say goodbye to Bi Shuang.
Bi Shuang nodded at her. After the car drove away, she stared at the unfamiliar number on her phone thoughtfully, and her eyes darkened.
The air pressure on the plane seemed a bit low.
It was a bit cold, and Ding Ruola shrank her neck.
Suddenly, he wanted to take her home and had been silent all the way.
Ding Ruola tilted her head and looked at the man beside her, a bit puzzled.
"Lao Fang, is your work over?"
"Yes."
"Oh, are you hungry?" Ding Ruola asked cautiously.
No matter how she looked at it, it seemed that Professor Fang was malnourished.
Hearing this, Fang Siyan turned his head and sized up Ding Ruola. His eyes darkened. He called the flight attendant and ordered two deluxe meals.
This meal made Ding Ruola extremely full.
They arrived at the small home that she and Fang Siyan were familiar with.
Ding Ruola rubbed her stomach and walked a bit slowly.
She regretted listening to Fang Siyan obediently just now. She shouldn't have eaten so much!
As soon as they entered the door, Fang Siyan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around.
With a "bang", he forcefully pressed Ding Ruola against the door.
It hurt a bit, and Ding Ruola frowned.
"Are you full?" The man's voice was hoarse, and his breathing was a bit rapid, as if he had been suppressing his emotions for a long time.
"Yes, I'm full..."
"That's good."
"…?"
The bedroom was in a complete mess.
The light in the room gradually dimmed, and it got dark.
I don't know how long it took, but the man finally stopped his movements.
Two strings of crystal - clear tears flowed down Ding Ruola's eyes.
Her body was covered with red and purple marks, which was enough to show the man's madness during the day.
It hurt so much. She didn't know what was wrong with Fang Siyan. The man seemed to be crazy as he constantly took what he wanted from her.
She didn't dare to make a sound.
Fang Siyan tightly hugged the person in his arms. He pressed close to Ding Ruola's chest and listened to her heartbeat.
He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, his little wife would disappear from his life forever.
After a long time, the man looked up, looked at his sleeping little wife under him tenderly, and let out a soft laugh.
The next day.
When Ding Ruola woke up, the man beside her was still asleep.
As soon as she tried to get up, every nerve in her body sent pain signals to her.
She looked at the well - worn pajamas on her body and then realized that Fang Siyan had taken a bath for her again when she wasn't aware!
A bit depressed, and her body still hurt.
Ding Ruola simply lay in bed.
[Xiaoshuang, how's the situation there? Is everything okay?]
[It's okay. The situation isn't too bad...]
[Oh, don't overwork yourself. Take care of your body!]
[Okay.]
[Well, I think Professor Fang is a bit strange...]
[Strange in what way?]
[Why was he in Wenxizhai yesterday? Moreover, I feel that his emotions are not right.]
[Nonsense! Such a big thing happened. And you were on vacation in our village. How could he not be anxious? Do you know who called me yesterday?]
[Who?]
[Director Zhang, County Magistrate Lin, Secretary Gao, and the captain of the criminal investigation team. There were so many calls... Some were from my dad, and some were directly to me. They were all looking for you! He couldn't contact you for four days. Maybe Professor Fang pulled some strings...]
"Uh."
"…"
Professor Fang was a teacher, kind - hearted, and upright.
He most disdained the kind of thing like pulling strings, especially getting involved with the officialdom.
However, he violated his principles for her.
Ding Ruola's heart trembled.
Hearing about the earthquake, he must have been very scared, right? Not being able to contact her for four days, he must have been very desperate, right?
Thinking of the way he looked like a stray dog when she saw him, Ding Ruola's eyes turned red.
Sorry, Lao Fang! I made you worry!
Her fingers touched Fang Siyan's cheek. The sleeping man seemed to feel the coolness from the girl's fingertips.
He slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the person in front of him, he smiled easily.
"Ruoruo, be good."
"Lao Fang, I want to cook."
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Ding Ruola in surprise, and then laughed softly. "I'm hungry. I'll go cook..."
"Okay. No, wait. I'll cook for you!"
"Are you sure? Can you cook?" The man was a bit surprised.
"Yes! I learned a lot of things from Grandma Bi at Bi Shuang's home! I can not only cook, but I can also knit sweaters!"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she said playfully.
"Okay."
Ding Ruola was bustling around in the kitchen.
Fang Siyan got up and took a shower.
After tidying up his clothes, he obediently sat at the dining table with the napkin that his little wife had just put on his neck.
An hour later.
"Ruoruo, are you done?"
"Not yet. Wait a minute. I forgot to turn on the fire just now."
Two hours later.
"Ruoruo, I'm hungry."
"Okay, okay. It'll be ready soon. I just mistook salt for sugar. It's too salty! I'm making it again!"
Three hours later, the man who still hadn't eaten: "… Let me cook. Be good. You rest."
"No, I'll cook for you!"
"…"
Did Grandma Bi really teach you all this?!
