Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 83 She's Back
When Ni Manhua returned home, her mind was filled with memories of her and Lu Guanhai's past. The bits and pieces they had experienced together were engraved in Ni Manhua's mind. She thought that maybe she would Will never forget it.

But by the river, Ni Manhua had already agreed with Lu Guanhai that they were going to separate.For those problems that they cannot solve, let time dilute them.

Maybe they will all have a bright future in the future, but in that future, there will be no more each other.

Ni Manhua always said that her marriage to Lu Guanhai was unfortunate. Lu Guanhai made her originally wealthy and free life unhappy, but she also disrupted Lu Guanhai's peaceful and peaceful life.

Lu Guanhai almost gave up everything for this marriage. Originally, with his talents and abilities, he found an ordinary girl who was not so picky and lived a normal life in a stable way. They might marry later, or If he considers buying a house in his late middle age and spending decades paying off a loan, Lu Guanhai might be happier than he is now.At least he is free, and at least his efforts are recognized.

Ni Manhua now knows that Lu Guanhai has been very depressed these years. He worked very hard and tried very hard to prove himself, but the end of his efforts was not even as good as Ni Manhua's starting point in life. There was such a huge gap. , so that they can't personally understand each other's feelings, they can't empathize, so they keep misunderstanding, misinterpreting, and disappointed.

Ni Manhua believed that it would be the best outcome for them to talk things out and move towards a life that is more suitable for them. However, after they separated from Lu Guanhai, when they returned home, Ni Manhua lay on the bed and felt like there were countless ants all over his body. They didn't speak, they just stayed on her hands and legs, looking for an entrance into her body.Ni Manhua could not move and allowed them to bite her. She even expected that their invasion would swallow up the memories that tortured her.

My mother came over to deliver milk and was shocked when she saw her look: "What's wrong with you, Manman? Are you sick? Is the air conditioner turned on low again? I want you to pay more attention. I'll find a thermometer to take your temperature."

"No, I just went out for a walk and got tired. How about you go take a rest?"

"Really? No, I have to measure it..."

"No need. Mom, I'm tired and sleepy from walking. You can go to bed."

Ni Manhua's mother gave her a suspicious look, then climbed onto the bed and touched her forehead with the back of her hand. After confirming that her body temperature was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "This is the consequence of young people not exercising. Let's go." A few steps can make you so tired."

Ni Manhua stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, her mother's words had long been isolated by her.

Even when the aunt knocked on the door and came in, saying that Zhan Ping was here, she didn't hear it.It was her mother who called her several times but she ignored her, climbed up again and pulled her quilt: "You don't go downstairs to pick someone up when you ask them to come home, how do you look like lying down?"

Zhan Ping was already at the door. She said with a smile: "It's okay, auntie. I'm so familiar with this, Manman is too lazy to pick me up. You can go and have a rest early. I'll diagnose what's wrong with her today." .”

Ni Manhua's mother nodded: "Okay, then don't talk too late and go to bed early."

Ni Manhua's mother went to the room with her aunt and closed the door for them. Zhan Ping sat next to Ni Manhua, looked at her and said, "Manman, it's me who's here."

"I know it's you who's here. I still recognize your face." Ni Manhua didn't want Zhan Ping to see him like this. He was about to turn over, but Zhan Ping pinched his face and forced him back to his original position.

Zhan Ping got on the bed and sat astride Ni Manhua. She looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Look at me, I'm here."

Ni Manhua looked at Zhan Ping blankly. Zhan Ping's face was a face she was very familiar with, but the look in her eyes made Ni Manhua realize that this was not the person who only knew how to fight and fight on campus. Zhan Ping hangs out with boys in an Internet cafe.

Ni Manhua looked into Zhan Ping's eyes. Zhan Ping's distressed look was like the key to unlocking Ni Manhua's tears. Ni Manhua grabbed Zhan Ping's hand and her body couldn't help shaking violently. She looked at Zhan Ping like She cried like a child: "Pingping, you are finally here. I miss you so much."

Zhan Ping rolled off Ni Manhua, lay on her side next to Ni Manhua, hugged her, and gently patted her back: "Okay, okay, do you want me to come back with you? Then why don't you still He used the time machine by himself without saying a word and without consulting me."

Ni Manhua couldn't say a word, so she threw herself into Zhan Ping's arms and kept crying. Tears replaced talking. She couldn't say a word now, she just wanted to let her unhappiness be thrown out of her body with her tears. .

Zhan Ping sighed and asked: "It's still not a good time if you do it again, right? Why are you still like a child? You know how to escape when something happens. Is there anything that you can't face as an adult? Aren't you all? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Ni Manhua hugged Zhan Ping, wiped her tears with her clothes, and then sobbed without saying a word for a long time.

Zhan Ping touched her head again: "Okay, you two have had enough fun, come back with me."

Ni Manhua finally raised his head, sniffed and asked, "How is my mother?"

"I woke up early. It's okay. I just scolded you a few times and said that I didn't see you after I was discharged from the hospital. Your uncle said that you two were busy with work and cheated."

"You... how many days have I been sleeping in our time and space?"

"Three days, what's the matter?"

It is now 2014. Ni Manhua has spent three years in this time and space, so a year in this time and space corresponds to a day in their time and space. Fortunately, it has not been too long since he has been away from his mother.

Ni Manhua hugged Zhan Ping and said, "Let's go back, I've already made an agreement with Lu Guanhai, we'll separate when we get back."

Ni Manhua's hands tightly grasped Zhan Ping's clothes, as if he could absorb energy in this way.Zhan Ping looked at Ni Manhua and saw her curled up like a shrimp ball, looking lost.Zhan Ping didn't speak for a while. She just hugged Ni Manhua tighter and let out a long sigh.

The next day, Ni Manhua called Lu Guanhai out and had a meal with Zhan Ping.Zhan Ping chose the snack bar they used to go to when they were in school, but that snack bar closed down later, and Zhan Ping hasn't had it for a long time.

Zhan Ping ordered a lot of things, all in small portions, including dumplings, wontons, cold noodles and vermicelli. She and Ni Manhua wanted to eat a little each. She ordered steamed dumplings, and she could still see the remaining half of the dumplings between two. Hai helps solve it.

Zhan Ping sighed while eating: "I really envy me now that I can eat so many good things."

"Youth is always enviable." Lu Guanhai sat across from him and buried his head in eating. He held the small wooden steamer tightly with his other hand, and his nails were dug vertically into the gap. This action revealed his uneasiness.

When Lu Guanhai received the news that Zhan Ping had also returned, he understood that his and Ni Manhua's journey in this world was about to end. After returning to their world, their marriage would also end.

Lu Guanhai always felt that he owed Ni Manhua more these years. He wanted to make up for it. He didn't want his efforts over the years to go to waste.

Zhan Ping didn't want to poke their hearts, and didn't mention their various things in this time and space, just being a traveler who experienced time adventures with them.Zhan Ping asked: "You said that if we call Wu Bolin and Luo Zeli over now, and then tell them that we three have traveled through time, will their expressions be funny?"

"They must think we are role-playing." Ni Manhua thought that she had been playing the childish version of herself for the past three years, and she later felt tired.Especially thinking that Lu Guanhai already knew her identity and watched her performance from the perspective of a spectator, Ni Manhua felt even more breathless.

Zhan Ping didn't know what funny thing she thought of, so she grinned: "I said you two are really good at growing a dull gourd on a tree. No one has told me for three years. I can't hold it in anymore." , I want to suppress them as an adult, recruit a few more younger brothers, and then lead them to trade stocks and start businesses. It’s interesting to think about it. How happy it will be. Look at you two, you two are here for nothing. He also has a bitter look on his face."

Yes, if you start over, you can live a better life no matter what. Ni Manhua doesn't know how she can live like this.

Zhan Ping swept away the food on the table like a hungry ghost, then touched her stomach and asked them: "Anyway, you two are on summer vacation, you can leave at any time, right? I've already decided on the ticket. I checked it in the morning The earliest I can buy are tickets for tomorrow afternoon."

Ni Manhua still remembers Lai Hongtu telling her how to go back and boarding flight T579 to Beijing.Now that he was really going back, Ni Manhua was quite nervous.

But no matter what, once you decide to go back, you can no longer escape.

Ni Manhua nodded: "You can buy the ticket. I have already sent you your ID card."

Zhan Ping glanced at Lu Guanhai and asked vaguely, "Where's yours?"

Lu Guanhai didn't want to give it, but Zhan Ping's aura was still as strong as ever, so he could only say bravely: "I'll send it to you later."

"Okay, then I'll buy the tickets tonight. After I buy them, I'll send you a message. You two can talk about it later, right? I'll go back first?"

"You can stay at my house." Zhan Ping, who returned to this time and space from the future, seemed to be Ni Manhua's life-saving straw. Ni Manhua never wanted to leave her for a moment.

But Zhan Ping waved her hand: "My dad sent a message saying that he has brought my brother back. Today I will vent my anger on him while he is still a little kid. Don't worry, I will go to your house to find you at night."

A few years later, Zhan Ping's younger brother grew up to be a demon king. He returned to this city to attend high school, and would ask her for money when he had nothing to do. Zhan Ping had long wanted to deal with him, but by then he had grown taller and taller than Zhan Ping. If Ping couldn't be beaten, she would take this opportunity to deal with him.

Zhan Ping left after eating. Ni Manhua and Lu Guanhai sat face to face, looking at each other speechless for a while.

In the negotiation last night, what they faced was not the other party themselves, but the angry and shouting emotions. Today they finally turned back into two rational adults, facing each other with such green faces, and they were a little uncomfortable. .

It was Lu Guanhai who made the first invitation: "Let's go for a walk. When we go back, we will never see many things again."

Ni Manhua agreed. She did still have a lot of nostalgia for this time and space, and those nostalgia were not entirely related to Lu Guanhai.
