Zhou He didn't expect him to check on Doctor Xu at all, lowered his head and took a deep breath, and without waiting for Cheng Wei to speak, he said: "Mr. Cheng, can you please let me go? I was wrong, I was wrong before." You and I have never been from the same world, nor should we have any intersection. I apologize to you for my lack of generosity when I was younger. Can you please let me go?" After a slight pause, she continued: "I thank you for your 'kindness' here, but whether it is my current life or the people in my life, it has nothing to do with you, I know that you are powerful, but please respect the people?"

Her tone was hard, and her fingers clenched tightly as she carried things, and she could see that she was trying to restrain her emotions. Her face was blank, her eyes were dark and gloomy, and her eyebrows were full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

Cheng Wei didn't smoke anymore, letting the cigarette in his hand burn little by little.

After Zhou He finished speaking, he didn't wait for him to speak, and walked directly to the dormitory.

She didn't eat that night, so she put the packed food in the small and humble kitchen. told Doctor Liu that he hadn't touched her to eat hot, and then went back to the room on the grounds that he was not feeling well, and lay down on the bed.

After that night, she rarely saw Cheng Wei. When he got to the back, he didn't even know when Cheng Wei left.

He has a lot to do, and he can't stay in this backcountry for long.

Cheng Wei asked people to check Dr. Xu, this incident was caused by her, she originally wanted to call Xu Mingze to apologize, but in the end she couldn't open her mouth.

Instinctively, she didn't want people to know about her relationship with Cheng Wei. Even when he was in the hospital, he never kept a low profile.

The final exam is approaching, and Zhou He's work is even busier. The three-day two-end test will tick out the key points for the children to review. Being busy can make people forget a lot of things, and it wasn't until the students received their report cards that she suddenly felt empty.

Dr. Liu's family is in the county seat, and he is going home during the holidays. Invite her to her house to play.

Zhou He thanked her for her kindness and declined her. Alone in the empty campus, she remembered that she hadn't been back to Yucheng for more than a year. I didn't even go back for the New Year. I didn't even go to sweep the tomb.

For more than a year, she lived a life of isolation. The only thing I do to pass the time in my free time is to read.

The old mansion had always been watched by Toshu, and she knew that it was time for her to go back. She should go back to see Qi Jingran and Aunt Qi.

Zhou He lay alone in the dormitory for a day, and the next day at dawn, he got up and planned to go to the town to take a car. It is troublesome to go back to Yucheng, you have to take a car to the county, then to the city, and then you can take a plane.

Although I only planned to go back temporarily, I subconsciously knew that I was going back. She was extraordinarily calm. She had very little luggage, just a simple change of clothes. I'm going to go to the city later, and I'll buy some souvenirs to take home.

Since I went back, if I had time, I had to go back and see Li Peiyuan.

Zhou He didn't have anything to say about going back, but he just sent a text message to the principal saying that he was going out for a trip and should not come back for about half a month, and asked him to come over to see the school occasionally.

It was still early, and the principal hadn't gotten up yet. After the text message was sent, Zhou He put his mobile phone in his pocket, locked the door, and walked out of the school with his luggage.

It was still foggy outside, and she stood in the doorway for a while. was about to leave, but Li came out of nowhere. Said politely: "Miss Zhou, I'll send you." ”

He's obviously been guarding this side all along.

Zhou He subconsciously pursed his lips, said no, and wrinkled aside without looking at him.

Her footsteps moved, and Li Jing behind her said, "Mr. Cheng has ordered, let me send you." If you have to go on your own, I'll have to follow you in a car. ”

If he drove after her, he would be noticed.

Zhou He didn't know how Cheng Wei knew that she was going out, and his fingers were clenched tightly. She had already made it clear that day. She was annoyed, but the fire came out nowhere, and she felt powerless.

Li actually knew that she didn't want to attract attention, and when she saw that her fingers were clenched tightly, she didn't see it, and still said politely: "Wait a minute, I'll go drive." ”

Cheng Wei not only knew that she was going out, but also knew that she was going back to Yucheng. Even the plane tickets have been bought a long time ago. Li actually accompanied her throughout the whole process, and even thoughtfully asked her if she wanted to buy a gift.

Zhou He was not angry, and got out of the car to choose some specialties here.

There was no delay in transferring trains, and I flew back to Yucheng in the afternoon. She had barely said a word for the whole day, and she hadn't touched anything she had bought her to eat, and she had been closing her eyes all the time.

When I got off the plane in Yucheng, it was already evening, and there was also a car waiting in the airport. After getting into the car, Li actually said politely: "Miss Zhou, there has been no one living in the house for a long time, you go to the hotel tonight, and then go back tomorrow after cleaning." ”

Yes, no one has lived for too long. The house must be damp and deserted.

As he spoke, he was going to arrange for the driver to go to the hotel. As soon as the words came out, Zhou He said lightly: "Please send me back." Or park in front. ”

As if she knew she couldn't get rid of it, she was still cooperative along the way.

Li didn't expect that she would insist on going back at this time, so she groaned a little and asked the driver to go to the house. He took out his mobile phone again and ordered someone to find his aunt.

Zhou He didn't know what he was looking for his aunt for, the corners of his lips hooked up a little sarcasm, and said, "Do you Cheng always plan to put me under house arrest?"

Li didn't think about it and said, "Of course not." Miss Zhou, you've been running around for a day, and Cheng always wants you to take a good rest. ”

Zhou He stared at him and said with a smile: "Then do I have to thank you Mr. Cheng?"

There was unconcealed disgust and resentment in her tone.

Li didn't speak anymore and fell silent. I didn't arrange any more aunts and hung up the phone.

Zhou He closed his eyes again, didn't look at the city outside that had changed a little from when she left, leaned back in the car seat and pretended to sleep.

The house was pitch black, and when he got out of the car, he entered the house without looking back.

Li actually looked at her back, took out his mobile phone, and called Cheng Wei. Tell him that Zhou He has returned, but he did not stay in a hotel, and he did not ask anyone to clean her house.

Cheng Wei on the other end of the phone didn't speak, he was silent for a long time, and hung up the phone after saying that he knew.

Shu Hua should come over to clean it often, and the house is clean and dust-free. It's just that there is no one to live in, and it is always cold and damp.

He hasn't been back for too long, and Zhou He is in a trance. Room by room, I sat down on the couch.

The lights in the room were dim and cold, and her thin figure was even more lonely.

The bed was not made, she didn't go upstairs that night, and she didn't want to go out. I only came out with a quilt and spent the night on the sofa.

Perhaps because she hadn't been back for too long, she actually dreamed of Aunt Qi and Qi Jingran. As a long time ago, the three of them ate around a small dining table. It's very warm.

When Zhou He woke up, the corners of her eyes were slightly wet, and she sat up and sat with her hands on her forehead for a while. Then get up and go wash up. She didn't tidy up the yard, and went out after a simple wash. Go to the cemetery.

Fortunately, this time Cheng Wei did not let people follow her again.

She took a taxi and bought the pastries and fruits that Aunt Qi and Qi Jingran liked to eat at the shop where she set up an early stall on the roadside. I bought some incense wax paper candles.

Although she was not there, the cemetery was well kept, there were no weeds, and it was clean. I don't know who came, but in front of the tombs of Aunt Qi Qi Jingran and Lao Luo, they each placed a bouquet of flowers.

The photographs on the tombstones are alive, as if they were looking at her.

Zhou He's eyes wet with tears for a moment, and he knelt down in front of the tomb. In the end, she still forced a smile and chattered about this year's life.

When she was in front of Qi Jingran's grave, she said softly: "He died, he committed suicide." ”

Qi Jingran in the photo on the tombstone smiled like a flower, as if he had heard her words. Zhou He's head rested on the tombstone, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes.

She stayed in the cemetery against the tombstone, and it was not until later in the evening that a person who took care of the tombstone found her and came and called her, and she looked up.

She was emaciated and pale. The person in charge of the cemetery asked her if she was uncomfortable, and she shook her head and said she was fine.

She had barely eaten since yesterday, and her body was very weak. said goodbye to Aunt Qi Jingran in the puzzled and curious eyes, and then went down the mountain.

Although he hadn't eaten all day, Zhou Ji had no appetite. After getting off the bus, I bought a box of instant noodles at a convenience store.

When I returned to the house, I realized that the door was open. When she went in, she found that Shu Hua had actually come over. I'm busy in the kitchen.

Zhou He was stunned and called Sister Shu Hua.

Shu Hua's eyes turned red all of a sudden, turned to look at her, stepped forward and grabbed her hand tightly, and said, "You're finally back." ”

Her eyes quickly moistened.

This made Zhou He at a loss, and she hurriedly said, "Don't cry, Sister Shuhua, aren't I fine?"

Shu Hua wiped his eyes with his hands, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I'm happy." Ahe, it's good you're back. ”

Her mood quickly stabilized, she was still boiling soup, and the breakfast she brought over in the morning was hot, and asked Zhou He to eat something to cushion her stomach first, and she could eat in a while.

Zhou He sat down obediently and began to eat. She didn't ask Shu Hua how she knew she was back, but asked how Shu Hua had been doing for more than a year.

Shu Hua replied that it was very good, but next to the university, she saw that her business was good and opened a flower shop, and the business was divided away. But she rented another shop on the street side of their community, opened a convenience store, and the business was not bad. She rarely guards her home now, and she is always invited.

She spends most of her time on children, sending little ones to various tutoring classes, and lamenting that the competition is too fierce now, and many little children have almost no time to rest, not in tutorial classes, but on the way to tutorial classes.

She originally didn't plan to make it so hard for her children, but seeing that other children had signed up for a lot of tutoring classes, she could only follow along. Fortunately, the little one is not disgusted.

After she finished talking about herself, she asked Zhou Helai again and asked her about what she had been doing for more than a year.

Zhou He briefly talked about the first journey and some things in school now, she didn't want Shu Hua to worry about her, she simply talked about it.

In the end, Zhou He remembered that Senior Brother Qiu was coming, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Sister Shuhua, Senior Brother Qiu ......?"

Shu Hua was a little stunned at this time, then came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "His company is developing quite well, and now there are thirty-four people under his hands." ”

She knew what Zhou He wanted to ask, and then said: "He is still single, and he has also mentioned remarriage, but I am doing well with the little one." That's it, everybody. ”

Her tone was calm and quiet, and there was no expression on her face. Zhou He nodded and didn't speak.

In fact, Senior Brother Qiu has mentioned remarriage more than once over the years. He also did many things for her for the little one, but she refused.

That period of depression is still dreamed of when she sometimes has nightmares. She is doing well now and does not plan to go through another marriage, no matter with whomever she is with.

Probably the mind is dead at some point.

These were not pleasant topics, and the two did not continue, changing the subject. Shu Hua began to ask how long Zhou He would be back this time, and if he wanted to go back again.

Zhou He said that he would go back in half a month, and he would go to Kyoto in a few days. And then he didn't come back, he went straight back from there. It's also quite a hassle to run around.

Shu Hua didn't expect her to go back, and couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he asked, "Ahe, aren't you going to come back?"

Zhou He was silent, but in the end he still squeezed out a smile and said, "Sister Shuhua, I'm fine over there." This is my home, so naturally I want to come back. But for the time being, I still want to be over there. ”

Shu Hua's face was worried, and he wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Okay." Don't come back for so long like this time. ”

Zhou He smiled and agreed.

Shu Hua still had to pick up the little guy in the interest class, and left after eating.

Zhou He sent her out and watched her disappear at the end of the alley in the car, and then closed the door.

She had returned, but she had nowhere to go. Except for going to Shu Painter once, I either went to the cemetery or cleaned up at home.

It was rare for a few days to be sunny, so she took out the quilts, tables and chairs at home to bask in the sun.

In the past few days, neither Cheng Wei nor the people under him have appeared.

In the evening of that day, Zhou Hecai had just moved the things he had moved out to dry back to the house, and as soon as he came out and was about to close the door, he saw Cheng Wei standing at the door.

He probably just came back from a business trip, and he was still dressed in a formal suit.

Zhou He's body stiffened instantly when he saw him, but Cheng Wei walked in as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

As he spoke, he went into the yard and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can on the side.

Zhou He quickly returned to his usual appearance, did not speak, and closed the door.

When she entered the house, Cheng Wei was already pouring water and drinking it by herself, just like in her own home. Zhou Ji didn't speak, went into the kitchen, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, and began to cook.

It had been a long time since there was so quiet between the two, Cheng Wei drank a glass of water, looked towards the kitchen door, and sat quietly.

Zhou He made his meal, three dishes and one soup at home, and even asked the same as before.

Cheng Wei was quite knowledgeable now, went to the kitchen and took the dishes and chopsticks out, and served the rice.

During the meal, neither of them spoke, and when the meal was over, Zhou He had to get up and clean up. Cheng Wei stood up first and said, "I'll come." ”

Zhou Ji didn't stop him and let him clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Soon the kitchen was filled with the sound of running water, and she stood for a moment, then took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Cheng Wei finished washing the dishes and smoked a cigarette outside, and Zhou He came out of the bathroom. Her hair was slightly damp and she was wearing a bathrobe.

She usually barely dresses up, and her dress is also modest. The slightly damp hair was draped, and the skin was white and red after taking a shower. It's more charming than usual.

Cheng Wei's gaze fell on her face, then to her graceful neck, and then all the way down, to her white legs and a pair of small jade feet. He reacted almost immediately. He realized that there was something different about Zhou He tonight, he turned his head almost in a panic, and used smoking to hide his embarrassment, and said, "It's not early, go to bed early." ”

His voice was hoarse, and he was about to get up and leave.

It's just that before leaving, Zhou He pulled down the bag of bathrobes. The beauty inside was fully revealed, and Cheng Wei's throat was so dry and hoarse that he called out in a low voice.

Zhou He's face was expressionless, and he said, "Isn't this what Mr. Cheng wants?"

Cheng Wei's sudden desire disappeared in an instant, he turned his head away in a panic, and said in a dumb voice: "Put on your clothes." ”

Zhou He didn't move, and some sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Without waiting for her to speak, Cheng Wei said lightly: "Put on your clothes, do you think I am short of women?" He tried his best to keep his breath steady.

Although Zhou He did that, his body trembled uncontrollably. pulled up the bathrobe on his body again and put it on, and said coldly: "Of course, Mr. Cheng has no shortage of women. The only thing I have is this body, if Mr. Cheng doesn't want it, please go out. Please don't meddle in my life in the future. ”

She obviously wanted to use this method to force Cheng Wei to leave.

Cheng Wei turned his head to look at her, and said lightly: "I didn't interfere in your life, you are free at all times, and you can do whatever you want." ”

Zhou He took a deep breath, the sarcasm on the corner of his lips became stronger, and said: "Let people monitor me, isn't this a meddler for Mr. Cheng?"

The stalemate at that moment made her a little tired, she paused, her tone softened, and said expressionlessly: "When you were in the hospital, you said that when my illness is cured, you will not interfere in anything again." ”

Cheng Wei's eyes were deep, and he looked at her so straight. After a long while, he asked lightly, "Are you cured?"

Zhou He was stunned and didn't speak yet. He stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of her left hand. On that wrist, the old and new scars are layered on top of each other, and it is shocking to look at.

No matter how hot Zhou He is, he will not pass on short sleeves, and he is usually carefully covered. She didn't expect to be discovered by Cheng Wei at all, and she was embarrassed and angry, and tried hard to break away from Cheng Wei's hand, trying to cover up what she had been hiding again.

But Cheng Wei held it tightly, as if he couldn't see her embarrassment, and said word by word: "Zhou He, no matter how well you cover it up, you can't hide the fact that you can't accept Qi Jingran's death." You're never just running away!"

was debunked by him, and Zhou He was even more annoyed. Biting his lip tightly, he tried to break away again, and said sharply: "What if I escape? What does it have to do with you?"

Her eyes quickly turned red, as if she had changed into a different person, a little hysterical.

She was weak at the moment, but like a hedgehog, trying to wrap herself in layers with the thorns on her body.

Cheng Wei's heart ached, and he reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms. said in a low voice: "Ah He, I'm sorry, I didn't protect Qi Jingran." ”

Qi Jingran went undercover to Qin Yang's side, and she insisted on going. He knew the danger of this trip, and arranged for someone to protect her. And the exposure also arranged a way back for her. But she didn't expect that she would fall in front of him so unexpectedly.

So much so that all his arrangements were not used.

Zhou He's tears fell so hard that he had suppressed them for too long, and he burst into tears in an instant. She quickly sorted out her emotions, broke away from Cheng Wei's hand, retreated to the wall and leaned against it, closed her eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "You go, I want to be quiet." ”

Cheng Wei didn't leave, took out a cigarette and smoked it. After a long silence, he said, "You need to see a doctor." I have made an appointment with Dr. Lui......"

Zhou He instantly looked up at him like a hedgehog, and said word by word: "Why are you self-righteous to arrange it for me?" She leaned her head against the wall, took a deep breath, and said: "Cheng Wei, whether I am dead or alive has nothing to do with you." I don't want to see you again, either in the future or now. ”

"Sometimes I even wonder if I hadn't met you. In the past, my life was peaceful, but since I met you, I have never been peaceful. So, please don't show up again. I am tired. ”

Her eyes were closed, and her face was full of tiredness.
