Liang Zhen is not there, Aunt Shen takes care of Doudou alone, has to buy vegetables and cook, clean up the house, and supervise him to practice the piano, write, and read English, but he is still a little in a hurry.

Finally, she was busy until nine o'clock to put the child to sleep, and Aunt Shen had time to go downstairs to clean up the kitchen.

As soon as the plate was brushed and the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast were ready, Aunt Shen drank two sips of water and was about to take a break, when there was a sudden sound of dripping outside the door, and then there was a click, and the electronic lock cylinder that should be the combination lock was opened.

Aunt Shen's hand holding the water cup trembled in a daze.

Although this is a high-end community, the property and security are very good, but it is located in the suburbs, with a single courtyard, and the house is separated from the nearest neighbor by a hundred meters.

At this time, Liang Zhen was not at home, only her and Doudou, and Aunt Shen couldn't help but be scared.

"Who? Who's out there?"

Aunt Shen grabbed a fruit knife on the cooking table and walked out.

As soon as Zhong Yu entered the door, he looked up and followed Aunt Shen who rushed out of the kitchen to take a frontal photo, and then saw the knife in Aunt Shen's hand.

"What do you do?"

Aunt Shen was still a little frightened, stunned, and saw that the person who came in couldn't help but shout: "First... Sir?"

Zhong Yu was made to smile bitterly by her appearance, and glanced at the knife in her hand again, "What's the matter?"

"Oh this...... This ah......" Aunt Shen remembered that the knife was still in her hand, and quickly put it down, "... I had just finished working in the kitchen when I heard the sound of the door opening outside, and I was worried thinking that my wife would not be in Sizhou for the past two days...... Just worry about ......"

"Worried about thieves?"

Aunt Shen rubbed her hand and didn't dare to say it.

Zhong Yu smiled helplessly, threw away the suit and tie in his hand and entered the living room, looked around, and asked, "Doudou slept?"

"Just fell asleep. ”

"Oh. ”

Then he was silent, Aunt Shen stood there and waited for a while, and when she saw that he didn't make the next move, she said, "Mrs. is not at home today, she is going to take the exam in L City." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then ......" Aunt Shen wanted to ask you what you were doing when you came back at this time, if there was something wrong, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt that it was inappropriate to ask such a question, so she changed her words in time, "Are you hungry, do you need to make you some supper?"

"No, I don't. Zhong Yu looked around again, "You go and get busy, rest early after you're busy." Then he took his suit back and went upstairs.

Aunt Shen was stunned in place for half a minute, feeling a little incredible.

It had been a long time since Zhong Yu came back last time, and Aunt Shen had almost forgotten that there was still a male host.

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and wanted to send a WeChat message to Liang Zhen, but she deleted a few words halfway through.

Let's not talk about it for now, let's see the situation before deciding.

......

Zhong Yu went up to the second floor and pushed open the children's room diagonally opposite the master bedroom.

In the past, when Doudou was in the rental house, he slept with Liang Zhen, but after the mother and son moved to that duplex, Zhong Yu coaxed Doudou to sleep alone at night in order to have a two-person world.

At that time, there was no children's room on the second floor of the duplex, so I temporarily came out of a small cubicle and pressed a bed for Doudou.

At the beginning, Doudou was reluctant, and often slept until midnight with a pillow between him and Liang Zhen, but the three of them slept too crowded, so usually at this time Liang Zhen would drive Zhong Yu to Doudou's cot to sleep, for which Zhong Yu also ate vinegar several times, and he felt very aggrieved.

The house in Xinyue Mansion is much larger than the duplex in the city, and the children's room for Doudou is at least as big as the previous three cubicles.

The bed is also very large, custom-made, more than two meters wide, and the little man rolled up a blanket but shrunk in the corner, holding the little stuffed dolphin in his arms that he couldn't lose anywhere he slept.

Zhong Yu didn't dare to wake him up, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at it for a while, and still couldn't bear to touch Doudou's forehead, but he didn't expect the little thing to wake up from sleeping, raised his hand and slapped off the palm on his forehead, and turned over with his little dolphin pouting his buttocks.

Zhong Yu: "......"

It's been a while since this little thing has become so faceless?

Zhong Yu glared at Doudou, who was sleeping with his buttocks, but fortunately, the child didn't wake up, and he didn't dare to touch him anymore, so he got up and stood up from the bed, and when he turned around, he saw something standing on the small table next to him.

The night light in the room was too dim, Zhong Yu took out his mobile phone and took a photo, it was a Lego villain.

Zhong Yu felt that this villain was a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was the Lego NINJA that he took from the car in order to coax him when he accidentally hit Doudou with his car last year.

At that time, the two didn't know each other, and he didn't know that Doudou was his son, it was just a chance encounter, but the road was full of people and bustling, and finally fate arranged for their father and son to reunite, what kind of foreshadowing?

Zhong Yu suddenly felt so sad that he couldn't do it.

He put the Lego figure back on the table and wiped his face out of Doudou's bedroom.

Diagonally opposite the children's room is the master bedroom, and the study is at the other end of the second floor, Zhong Yu looked at the empty corridors at both ends, was stunned for a while, and finally walked towards the study.

Pushing open the door, turning on the light, there was a whole wall of bookcases, in the center was a large table, and next to the table there was a low table, which was a little messy, piled up with drawings, brushes, and odds and ends.

The table is also irregular, with document shelves, water cups, pen holders, some used manuscript paper, and thick reference books and piles of exercises, such as "TOEFL Vocabulary", "TOEFL Test Guide", "TOEFL Reading", "TOEFL Books", ......

Zhong Yu probably flipped through it, and there were four or five exercises for the TOEFL test alone, each of which was a thick book of hundreds of sheets of paper, but each one was completed, and the reference book was densely packed with notes.

Zhong Yu smiled bitterly, and the scene of Liang Zhen sitting here staying up late to memorize words seemed to emerge in front of him.

She really lives a good life, and every time she decides to forge ahead, she does her best, exactly the same as when she nested in the dirty and messy shed and rental house to prepare for the college entrance examination, so many years have passed, this tenacity has not changed at all.

Zhong Yu put down the workbook in his hand and sat on the chair, looking at the piles of drawings, picture books, exercises and reference books in front of him, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She went so desperately to take the TOEFL test, right? Moreover, she chose such a far country in the United States, and it took more than ten hours to fly on a direct flight, and she went there for at least three years or more.

The devil knows what will happen in three years.

Zhong Yu thought he could bear it before, but now sitting here looking at the empty study, a lot of helplessness and powerlessness suddenly poured out.

Couldn't he stop her?

Although 10,000 voices in her heart told herself to be sensible, it was good for her to go abroad at this time, but she couldn't accept it emotionally at all.

It's so far away, twelve hours of time difference, a whole night and day, I don't even know if she will come back if she goes out.

No, he won't allow it!

Zhong Yu pushed the door downstairs, Aunt Shen heard the movement and came out of her room, and saw Zhong Yu taking her suit and walking out.

She couldn't help but chase two steps, "Sir, you won't stay here tonight?"

"Don't stop!"

"But Doudou doesn't know that you've come back yet, or you stay overnight and get up tomorrow morning......" However, before Aunt Shen finished speaking, Zhong Yu had already closed the door and walked out.

"This ...... This ......" Aunt Shen listened to the sound of the car starting outside the courtyard gate, and couldn't help chopping her feet, "How can this be!"

Rejoice in the air!

"Lawyer Gao. The black steam body shuttled in the night light, Zhong Yu galloped all the way, but did not forget to dial Gao Zijian's number.

The skylight opened overhead, and the cool breeze of early autumn blew in with a hint of dust.

Zhong Yu's dark eyes were half-narrowed, and he said to the person on the other end of the phone: "...... No matter what method you use, the second instance must win!"

Liang Zhen suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, her back was covered with layers of coolness, and she pulled the thin quilt up to wrap herself.

......

The next day, the exam started at half past eight in the morning, and Liang Zhen arrived at the exam room half an hour early.

The TOEFL is divided into four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, and the whole process takes about four hours, and Liang Zhen did not walk out of the test room until almost half past twelve.

The examination room was already full of people, most of them were the parents and relatives and friends of the candidates, crying and crying after meeting, laughing and hugging, the scene was no less than returning home after experiencing a war, but Liang Zhen was alone with a bag and shuttling through the crowd.

Of course, it's not the first time she's done this.

Since she was a child, her independence and isolation made her not good at blending in with the crowd, but at this moment, she suddenly heard someone shouting: "Liang Zhen!"

Liang Zhen raised his head, and Tang Yaosen, who was wearing a black casual jacket, stood outside the crowd.

She was startled and walked over quickly, "Why are you here?"

"I'll give you the wind. ”

Before coming, he did say on the phone that he would pick her up after the exam, but Liang Zhen didn't expect him to fly over directly.

"I thought it was after I went back to Luzhou. ”

"I was supposed to do so, but the customer I was going to see this morning was temporarily rescheduled, and I suddenly came out of the itinerary for half a day, thinking that there was nothing to do, so I simply came over. Tang Yaosen said this with ease, as if he had just driven for half an hour and turned around.

Let's not say that there is some truth in this, and let's not talk about the real purpose of his coming, but Liang Zhen is still a little moved in his heart.

She is nothing more than an ordinary woman, she has seven emotions and six desires, and when she feels these under certain circumstances, it is impossible for her heart not to feel them at all.

She smiled and found that there were people around from time to time, and even bold girls stopped to discuss, and she could only blame Tang Yaosen's appearance and temperament for being too outstanding, standing very eye-catching in the crowd.

"Let's go, let's find a place to eat first. ”

Tang Yaosen flew over temporarily, without a driver or car, and the two stopped a taxi near the examination room.

The taxi driver recommended a local restaurant with a good reputation, eating local specialties, and the environment was good and quiet.

After sitting down, the two finished ordering, Liang Zhen took the list and pressed it on his hand, "Okay, I'll invite you today." ”

"Okay, please. Tang Yaosen didn't fight with her, took the kettle and poured her full of water, and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

"It's okay. ”

"Is that okay?"

Liang Zhen took a sip of water and smiled, and Tang Yaosen immediately laughed, "Okay, don't ask." He knew she should do well in the exam.

"When will the results be released?"

"The official said that it would take about fifteen days, but those who had taken the test before said that the results would generally be found in seven or eight days. ”

"Well, the second trial is the day after tomorrow?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. ”

"What does Lawyer Qian say?"

Liang Zhen gently shook the cup in his hand and smiled bitterly: "What can he say? You also know that it is nothing more than trying his best, and it is impossible to pack a ticket for me." ”

"What about you?"

"Me?"

"If you win, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have any plans, I must have followed the previous plan. ”

Her previous plan was to prepare for the exam, and then take Doudou to study in the United States, which Tang Yaosen had already talked to her about before and knew it clearly.

"What if you lose?" Tang Yaosen asked, "If you lose, it means that Doudou can't go with you, and he has to stay in China to live with Zhong Yu, what are you going to do?"

Liang Zhen looked down at the few petals that gradually settled in the cup, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he raised his head, "No, I won't lose!"

In the noon sun, her eyes were firm and powerful, as if she was sure that she would definitely win this lawsuit.

Tang Yaosen swallowed lightly, "There is nothing 100% in this world. ”

"I know, but there will be no surprises in this matter. ”

"But you've already lost once!"

"That's because I didn't find the right lawyer!"

"But how can you be sure of victory this time?"

Tang Yaosen didn't show weakness, one sentence at her top, Liang Zhen was stunned when asked, and in a moment of sluggishness, the resoluteness in his eyes slowly faded a little.

Tang Yaosen sighed slightly, "Whether you win or lose, even if Lawyer Qian is 90% sure, I hope you can plan for the worst!"

He knew Doudou's place in Liang Zhen's heart, so he was afraid that if there was an accident in the lawsuit, she would not be able to bear it, but Liang Zhen didn't think so.

How can you lose?

No, it won't!

"Can you not talk about it?" she said, holding up her glass and taking another sip of water, "and besides, you should have come all the way to have a meal with me." ”

Tang Yaosen smiled, "Of course it's not just for a meal, I'm not idle yet." ”

"Hmm, so?"

"I've got something to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Tang Yaosen suddenly stopped again, looking at Liang Zhen in front of him, there was an indescribable contradiction.

Just as the waiter brought the first course up.

Tang Yaosen breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

Because he did well in the exam, although he didn't know the results yet, the pressure of more than a month was somewhat released, Liang Zhen ate quite happily that meal, but Tang Yaosen didn't seem to eat much.

"The dish is not appetizing?" asked Liang Zhen.

"It's not. He put down his chopsticks, tugged a tissue at his mouth, and looked around again.

Liang Zhen also looked around with her.

"What's wrong?"

"Not a good place to say things. ”

“......”

Twenty minutes later, the two found a café again, which was not big, hidden in the corner of the street, but quiet.

"Can you say it now?" asked Liang Zhen.

Tang Yaosen kissed the coffee in the cup with a small silver spoon and said, "It's about the old man." ”
