But Cheng Wei didn't come back.

On Xu Yuanning's side, after Zhu Jian left home for nearly two months, he finally found out that she had run away from home. After refusing to answer several calls to Zhu Key, Zhu Key's mother's phone called. I don't know how Xu Yuanning told Zhu Key's mother, Zhu Key finally packed up and went home.

Xu Yuanning didn't come over, she was picked up by someone from her family. Zhou He was originally going to take her to the airport, but she refused on the grounds that it was too troublesome. Let Zhou He go to Kyoto on vacation to call her, and she invited her to dinner.

Zhou He smiled and agreed.

She stayed in the school for nearly two months, and at first Zhou He was quite unaccustomed to having people live with her, but when she got used to people and suddenly left, she felt that the dormitory was empty.

But time flies quickly, and the end of the semester is approaching, so she schedules her time to the full, so as not to let herself be distracted by other things.

After Zhu Jian went back, Xu Yuanning learned that the time when she ran away from home was on Zhou He's side, so he specially called her for this, saying that he had caused her trouble. It's like wishing the key is not his wife but his daughter.

He was very busy during the time when Zhu Jian left home, and Zhou He asked him not to be polite.

Xu Yuanning couldn't take the key to Zhu, his tone was more or less helpless, and he hung up the phone after a few words with Zhou He.

Time flies quickly, and the end of the semester is in the blink of an eye. And not long after the winter vacation, it is the New Year.

This year is different from previous years, and Li Ying, who was still early, called and asked Zhou He to go back to Kyoto for the New Year. He also mentioned that Zhou's half-brother He Xing and sister He An'an will return to China for the New Year. They hadn't seen each other in years.

probably felt that her phone call alone might not be able to call Zhou He back, and not long after she called, Li Peiyuan called again, saying that she would let someone come to pick up Zhou He after the holiday.

So Zhou He went to Kyoto for the New Year, which was settled.

Li Ying has also learned about the separation of Zhou He and Xu Mingze, she has been paying attention to it, and probably knows the situation on Xu Mingze's side, and it is rare that she did not urge Zhou He to get married quickly, let me take my time. said that He Changhui has several friends whose sons will return to Kyoto, so that she can come back and meet people.

Although He Changhui was very good to her, Zhou Ji didn't want to have anything to do with the He family, so he vaguely brought the matter over.

After the exam, after correcting the test papers, it is already the twentieth day of the lunar month in Kyoto, whether it is a shopping mall, a supermarket or a road, there is a New Year's flavor everywhere.

Zhou He returned to Kyoto and did not live in the He family, but still lived in the old house of the Li family.

On her first night in Kyoto, she met He Xing and He An'an, whom she hadn't seen for several years. He Xing has grown into half a child, and seeing that she is still calling her sister the same as before, she is not unfamiliar at all. It's as if the two have always stayed together and never separated.

What has changed the most is He An'an, she is much more sensible, and she is no longer as messy as when she was a child, she is a little more shy, and she also calls her sister with He Xing.

The old house was much more lively than usual.

Zhou He received a call from Zhu Jian the day after she returned, she complained that she didn't call her when she came back, and asked Zhou He to go shopping.

Zhou He came back in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. Whether it is He Xing, He An'an or He Changhui and Li Ying, she has to prepare gifts, so you can ask Zhu Jian to help refer to it.

The two made an appointment to meet in the mall the next day, and Zhu Jian arrived earlier than Zhou He, and when he saw Zhou He, he stepped forward and gave her a big hug. Then she babbled about the boring days she had had since she returned.

After she left, although the two of them called from time to time, they didn't talk much. Seeing her a little sullen at this time, Zhou He asked, "Did you quarrel with Senior Brother Xu?"

She was not easy to talk about what happened after she ran away from home, and she never asked her.

Zhu Key's face fell, and he said, "No." He never quarreled with me. ”

Xu Yuanning really never quarreled with her, and even the cold war between the two was a one-man show for her. Xu Yuanning completely regarded her as an ignorant and willful child, and would never bother with her. So much so that every time she deliberately spills and provokes, she punches the cotton.

After Zhu Jian finished speaking, he waved his hand without waiting for Zhou He to ask anything again, and said, "Okay, don't mention him, it's a waste of fun if you mention it." ”

Her emotions came and went quickly, and said: "Let's go shopping, and when we're tired of shopping, we go to eat delicious food, I haven't been out for a long time." ”

She ran away from home to steal chickens and rice, and when she came back, she was severely reprimanded by her mother and took back her card, and today was the first time she had gone out shopping in a long time.

Since she didn't want to mention it again, Zhou He didn't mention it again, and the two went to the mall.

Zhu Jian has always disliked Zhou He, who is often black, and now he has the opportunity to play, and he re-selected the coat and long skirt for Zhou He. Her vision of picking gifts is also much better than Zhou He's, and the gifts Zhou He bought were all selected by her. This also made Zhou He breathe a long sigh of relief.

The two walked around the mall until more than three o'clock, until they had no strength to leave again, and Zhu Jian took her to eat.

Eating a small hot pot in winter is the most pleasant, she is familiar with the neighborhood, and soon took her to sit down in a shop. After ordering the dishes, she picked up the teacup and drank the tea, then she looked at Zhou He and said, "Ah He, did Mr. Cheng go to school later?"

The time at school was the coldest she had ever lived, but it was happy and fulfilling.

Zhou He didn't know why she could ask Cheng Weilai, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said, "No." ”

Cheng Wei disappeared quite completely during this time, if it weren't for his people who still sent something to the school from time to time, she would have almost thought that he was missing.

Zhu Jian nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I saw him once after I came back, he was with a group of people, as if he was talking about business, and I didn't go over to say hello." ”

Zhou He nodded.

Zhu Jian paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "A few days ago, Xu Yuanning and I went out for entertainment, and I heard news that he would be investigated. ”

Zhou He was stunned and looked up at her.

Zhu Jian hurriedly said again: "I just heard from others. After a pause, she said cautiously: "I heard that there seems to be a problem with his previous business......

Since it can be passed from the circle where the key is located, this is eighty percent true.

Before, you didn't have to think about Zhou He to know that it must be on Hehuan Street. Now it's time to turn over old accounts. Zhou He was in a trance, and sat still for a while.

The old accounts are not so easy to turn over, but since they have been mentioned, they must be holding something in their hands.

Zhou He's heart was heavy. It wasn't until Zhu Jian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her that she came back to her senses and squeezed out a smile.

This topic is not suitable for further discussion, so Zhu Jian quickly changed the topic and talked about other things. The two ate, and it was already evening when Zhou He returned to the Li family's old house.

At the end of the year, Li Peiyuan was busy and had not come back at this time. After Zhou He went upstairs to wash, he heard the sound of a car in the yard.

She originally wanted to go downstairs, but in the end she didn't move, and just lay on the bed.

Li Ying had already called, and she was going to the He family the next day. Zhou He got up early, but he didn't go directly. I remembered that I hadn't been looking at the house since it was rented out, so I went there.

Although she has the key in hand, the tenant is still living and cannot open the door to enter. After staying in the corridor for a while, she went downstairs and was about to leave, when she saw Li actually walk in from outside.

Maybe he knew that she was coming to Kyoto, and he was not surprised to see her, so he politely called Miss Zhou and asked, "......Are you here?"

Zhou He was also polite, and said simply: "I haven't been here for a long time, come and see the house." ”

Li Jing nodded, looked at the document in his hand, and said, "Cheng always forgot that I came to pick it up, if you are not busy and wait for me for a while, I will send you where you go." ”

Zhou He shook his head and said no, and left in a hurry.

It's not easy to take a taxi here, and before she stopped the car, Li actually drove the car over after getting something. got down and opened the car door, and said politely: "It's not good to take a taxi here, I'll send you." ”

Zhou He was originally going to refuse, but when he saw him standing next to the car, he still got into the car.

After getting into the car, he said the address, and Zhou He didn't speak again. Li didn't speak, looking at the road ahead.

Zhou He sat down and remembered Zhu Key's words, and when she was about to reach her destination, she asked, "You Cheng Zong...... How's it going?"

She was not surprised when she asked Cheng Wei, her eyes were still on the road ahead, and she said, "It's good to be a little busy except for the New Year." ”

There was nothing unusual in his tone, and Zhou He nodded and didn't speak again.

She didn't let Li actually send her to He's house, got off the bus in the city center, went to buy some things, and then took a taxi.

At the end of the year, He Changhui was busy, and Zhou He originally thought that only Li Ying and the two children were at home. But in the past, I found out that He Changhui was also at home. She was not the only guest in the He family, there was also a young man.

Zhou He didn't know that this was a blind date in disguise, and he was somewhat helpless. But he didn't show it at all, he just didn't know.

She was only going to come here for half a day, but who knew but couldn't leave. Her room was prepared here, and she was left behind.

She originally wanted to say that she didn't bring anything and then go back, but when she went upstairs, she found that she had everything here, pajamas, clothes and daily necessities Li Ying had prepared for her, all of them were new.

She couldn't find an excuse now, so she had to stay.

The decoration and decoration in the room are all pink princess style, and Zhou Ji is not used to it. I can't sleep at night when I lie in bed.

As she was looking at the ceiling with her eyes open, her cell phone rang.

She picked up the phone, an unfamiliar number. Seeing that the phone kept ringing and the other party had no intention of hanging up, she picked up the phone and fed it.

There was no response on the other end of the line, and she fed again.

There was still no reaction this time, and I don't know if someone pressed it wrong. Zhou He was silent on the phone for a while and hung up the phone.

Although she had already met and eaten with Zhu Key, on the weekend, she actually called again, saying that she was asked to go to their house for dinner, and if she didn't come, she would come to pick her up.

Zhou He didn't have anything to do, so he bought some fruit and took a taxi.

Zhu Jian and Xu Yuanning did not live in the Xu family's old house, but lived in the wedding room in the city center. Zhou He originally thought that Zhu Jian was bored alone, so he asked her to come home, but when he arrived, he realized that Xu Yuanning was also at home. I'm busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.

Seeing Zhou He coming over and saying hello, she asked Zhu Jian to chat with her, and continued to go into the kitchen to get busy.

The little guy was also at home during the holiday, and he had no impression of Zhou He, but he still called his aunt obediently, and then went back to the room to do his homework.

Zhu Jian poured tea for Zhou He after she sat down, and then took out snacks, asking Zhou He not to be polite, and take whatever he likes.

She is completely idle, eating here and there. Xu Yuanning reminded her twice, and after eating for a while, he saw that she was still eating non-stop, so he had to let her.

There is no shortage of topics to talk about staying with Zhu Key, and after talking about a bunch of trivial things, she suddenly said in a low voice: "Mr. Cheng's matter, you can ask you Senior Brother Xu later." He should know somewhat. He never told me about his work. ”

This is the purpose of Zhu Key's invitation to her to eat today, Zhou He was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she got up and went to the kitchen to help with the dishes and chopsticks.

The lunch is very rich, and Xu Yuanning's cooking skills are no longer as good as before, and they are completely comparable to the chefs in the restaurant.

After eating, Zhu Jian took the little guy to the study on the pretext of checking the little guy's homework, leaving Zhou He and Xu Yuanning in the living room.

After talking about some trivial things in life, Zhou He finally asked, "Senior Brother Xu, I heard...... Cheng Wei needs to be investigated, right?"

Xu Yuanning was silent, and after a while, he spoke: "You knew about Hehuan Street in the past, but now there is a case related to that side, and the relevant personnel will be investigated." ”

He didn't expect Zhou Hehui to know so quickly, paused slightly, and then continued: "The investigation is conducted by the task force, which is fair and just. ”

This means that if Cheng Wei was not involved in the matter of Hehuan Street and did not do anything illegal, then he would have nothing to do.

But how chaotic Hehuan Street was at that time, both he and Zhou He were obvious to all. Where can Cheng Wei easily pick it up.

Zhou He nodded and did not continue on this topic.

Leaving Xu Yuanning's house later, Zhou He unknowingly came downstairs to the place where Cheng Wei lived. She didn't go upstairs this time, she originally wanted to stay for a while and leave, but before she left, she saw Cheng Wei walk in from outside.

He should have just returned from a party, dressed in a formal suit. Seeing Zhou He, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you live here?"

Zhou He said no, paused, and said, "The house is still rented out." ”

Cheng Wei's brows twisted slightly, but he didn't say anything. nodded, looked at the time, and said, "Let's go up and have a cup of tea." ”

Zhou He originally wanted to say no, but he had already walked to the elevator. She paused slightly, but followed into the elevator.

Although I haven't been here for a long time, Cheng Wei's house is the same as before, and there has been no change.

The heating was on in the house, and after sitting down, Cheng Wei poured a cup of tea for Zhou He, and then asked, "It seems that you have rented out this house for a long time, right?"

Zhou He nodded and snorted.

I thought Cheng Wei was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

Zhou He couldn't find anything to say, Cheng Wei took a sip of tea and put down the cup, picked up the lighter at hand and played with it, and asked, "Do you still go to D City after the New Year?"

In my memory, I don't know when the two of them spoke so calmly.

Zhou He nodded and said, "I'm going." ”

Cheng Wei was about to say something, but the mobile phone he had thrown aside rang. His brows furrowed, and he was going to hang up the phone directly, but after seeing the caller ID, he stood up, said a word to answer the phone, and then went to the balcony to answer the phone.

He answered the phone for more than ten minutes, and when he came back, Zhou He stood up and said, "I'll go back." ”

Cheng Wei put his phone aside, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he turned his head to look at Zhou He, and said, "Little Ahe, are you coming to see me?"

His voice was low, and there was an equally smiling one.

He has always changed his face quite quickly, and he still looked thoughtful just now. Zhou He didn't think about it and said, "I'll come and see the house." ”

She didn't stay any longer, and walked to the entrance as she spoke.

Cheng Wei didn't stop her, went to pick up the car keys, and said slowly: "I was just going out, so I'll drop you off by the way." ”

Zhou He said sullenly, no need to go out. Cheng Wei also followed out the door.

In the end, it was Cheng Wei who sent Zhou He back, got into the car and started the car, and he asked, "Is the Chinese New Year here?"

Zhou He nodded and snorted. Remembering that he was alone, he was silent for a moment and asked, "Have you been here too?"

Cheng Wei took out a cigarette and lit it, hummed lazily, and said, "The old mansion has just been renovated, and the Chinese New Year will be spent over there." ”

Whether he's been over there or here, he's a man.

He himself didn't seem to notice anything, and his face was calm. After a slight pause, he asked again, "Do you want to go back to Yucheng after the New Year?"

Since they have all returned from D City, Zhou He naturally wants to go to Yucheng to sweep the tomb after the New Year. She replied now.

Cheng Wei spat out the smoke ring, sighed, and said, "I also want to go back, let's go together then." ”

Zhou He remembered the scene when she went to sweep the grave of the old grandmother and met him over there, she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. I'll just say a few words when the time comes.

Cheng Wei responded with a good word.

For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke again. got the exact news from Xu Yuanning, and Zhou He wanted to ask Cheng Wei several times, but he couldn't open his mouth.

When she was about to arrive at the Li family's old house, she looked at Cheng Wei and said, "I went to Senior Brother Xu's house today. ”

Although she didn't explain, Cheng Wei was as cunning as a fox, so naturally she wouldn't know what she was going to say.

His hand holding the steering wheel paused, and said lightly, "It's just a little thing." ”

He didn't intend to continue on the topic and quickly moved away. Until the car stopped at the door of the Li family's old house, Zhou He didn't have a chance to talk about it again.

He came out like something was really wrong, and he picked up the phone when Zhou He got out of the car. The car drove away in a short time.

The Li family's old house is also lively for the New Year this year, and Zhou He's uncles didn't come over at any time, but Li Ying's family came, and since the morning, Zhou He has been busy in the kitchen.

The dishes for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner were all cooked by Li Ying herself, and Aunt Le happily let it aside.

The dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner were very rich, because it was the New Year, Li Peiyuan opened the wine he had hidden, and the rest of the people drank some wine except for He An'an.

Although Zhou He is no longer a child, he still received red envelopes from Li Yinghe Changhui and Li Peiyuan on Chinese New Year's Eve, all of which were thick.

She also prepared red envelopes and gifts, and gave them to everyone one by one.

Later, Li Peiyuan took the two little ones to set off fireworks in the yard. He Xing heard that the street outside was very lively, and begged Zhou He to take him out to have a look.

Zhou He couldn't resist him, and took him out after Li Ying and He Changhui's consent.

The originally quiet alley was very lively tonight, with half-grown children laughing and laughing with fireworks.

Seeing that He Xing was envious, Zhou He took him to buy fireworks, and also asked him to play with those half-grown children. She was watching.

It was more than eleven o'clock in this game, and it was not until the children in the alley dispersed that He Xing followed Zhou He back to the old house.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou He's mobile phone rang.

He Xing was originally going to wait for her to enter the house together, but she took out her mobile phone and looked at it and asked him to go in first, while she picked up the phone outside.

As soon as he fed it, Cheng Wei on the other end of the phone said, "Happy New Year." ”

He called at the right time, and as soon as the words fell, the New Year's fireworks burst into the sky.

There are fireworks everywhere, and it is very lively for a while. Zhou He looked up for a while, waited until it was a little quieter, and then said, "Happy New Year." ”

There was no word between the two for a while, and after a few tens of seconds, Cheng Wei asked again: "Are you going to sleep?"

He didn't know where it was, but there seemed to be a faint sound of fireworks over there.

Before Zhou He could speak, he said again: "Tomorrow morning, get up early and go to bed early." ”

Zhou He was originally going to enter the house, but some ghosts sent him to the outside of the courtyard, opened the door gently, and walked out.

Cheng Wei was standing not far away, holding a cigarette in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. He was ready to leave, his shadow stretched long by the dim yellow light.

Zhou He didn't stop him, just stood at the door. It wasn't until his figure completely disappeared into the alley that he gently closed the door and returned to the courtyard.
