Chapter 157: Don't provoke me

The rain in City D finally stopped after a week, Xu Mingze returned to the office, and just wanted to take out his mobile phone to order takeout, but before the mobile phone could be taken out, it vibrated with a whining.

He took out his phone, and it was a call from his family. He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the phone, and called Mom.

Mrs. Xu on the other end of the phone was obviously in a very good mood, and said, "Mingze, your Aunt Yao's sister's daughter is coming to D City on a business trip this weekend, and I have already made an appointment with your Aunt Yao, and the two of you will meet at that time." ”

This matter was decided without even notifying him, Xu Mingze couldn't help but be two big, and said in a deep voice: "Mom, I'm ...... on the weekend."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Xu on the other end of the phone, and she said with a smile: "You are okay on the weekend, I have already called your director and told him that you are going on a blind date this weekend." He raised his hands in approval. Okay, I won't bother you knowing you're busy, remember to wake up early on Saturday. ”

This is Mrs. Xu's usual trick, and she hung up the phone without waiting for him to find another excuse to come out.

Listening to the beeping sound of busy lines on the phone, Xu Mingze pressed his eyebrows helplessly. He and his ex-girlfriend broke up for more than a year because of less togetherness, and in this year-plus years, almost every half month, he had to go on a blind date.

The objects of the blind date were all introduced by the seven aunts and eight aunts. He had no feelings about blind dates, but he had to go under pressure from his mother.

I don't know if it's because he hasn't rested for too long or what, he's a little bored for no reason. He opened the drawer and took out the lighter and cigarette case from the cigarette case.

He doesn't smoke much, except occasionally for a pick-me-up when he's tired after surgery. I bought this pack of cigarettes two months ago. After pulling one out, it was thrown in the drawer and never moved.

He didn't like smoking in the office area, so he took the elevator to the top floor. Occasionally, when he was bored, he would come up and sit down.

When he got to the roof, he was about to take out a cigarette and light it. When I looked up, I saw a person standing in front of the guardrail in front of me.

It was the top floor, and almost no one but him would come up. He couldn't help but be stunned, the man had turned around when he heard the footsteps.

It turned out to be Zhouhe. She was wearing a hospital gown that was one size larger, and her dark and clear eyes were hollow. It's completely different from the usual calm.

Seeing someone coming, she quickly returned to her usual appearance and greeted politely: "Doctor Xu." ”

Xu Mingze put the cigarette out of his hand back, and when he saw that she was standing dangerously in front of the guardrail, he walked over quietly and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhou Hewei smiled and said, "It's much better, thank you Dr. Xu." ”

Xu Mingze couldn't find anything to say, so he nodded.

Zhou He also couldn't find anything to say, and just wanted to say that he would take a step first. I heard Xu Mingze ask, "Miss Zhou doesn't seem to be a local?"

Zhou He swallowed back what he was about to say, still smiling slightly, and said, "No." ”

She doesn't say where she's from.

Xu Mingze didn't speak, just nodded.

The wind on the roof of the building was a little strong, blowing Zhou He's hair into a mess. The two of them had nothing to say for a while, and Zhou He looked up into the distance again.

She was still standing in front of the guardrail, her thin body as if it would go with the wind at any moment.

Xu Mingze watched from the sidelines. After a minute or two, Zhou He suddenly looked back at him, took a few steps back, smiled at him, and said, "Doctor Xu doesn't think I'm going to jump from here, right?"

There was some ridicule in her tone, but it made people feel inexplicably lonely.

Xu Mingze didn't answer her words, and said: "It's dangerous over there, don't stand over there when the wind is strong." ”

Zhou He smiled faintly and took a few steps back to this side. Looking into the distance, he asked, "Does Dr. Xu come here often?"

Xu Mingze also looked into the distance and said, "Occasionally, when I rest, I will come up to breathe." ”

Zhou He nodded and stopped talking. I don't know what I'm thinking.

She looked quite thin in a hospital gown, and after standing for a while, Xu Mingze said, "It's windy here and it's easy to catch a cold, let's go back." ”

Zhou He quickly came back to his senses, responded hello, and went downstairs with Xu Mingze.

Although she was polite, her tone was alienated with an intractable attitude. When she entered the elevator and went down to the floor, she politely greeted Xu Mingze and walked out.

Xu Mingze looked at her back, and didn't come back to his senses until the elevator door closed.

Zhou He returned to the ward, and the nurse was already looking for her everywhere. That's when it's time for an infusion.

I think I've been looking for her for a while, but the nurse doesn't know where she has gone, but she says that she is still very weak and can't go far.

Zhou He was sorry and said sorry.

The nurse waved her hand and said it was okay and told her not to run around in the future. Even if you want to go out, greet them first so that you don't find anyone.

Zhou He honestly responded.

She was thin and her blood vessels were not good. The hand that I lost yesterday was bruised, and now the blood vessels in this hand are not easy to find, and the nurse has two needles in a row to pierce it.

She originally thought that Zhou He would be impatient and unhappy, but when she looked up, she found that she was looking out the window, as if she didn't feel pain at all.

Probably sensing her gaze, she withdrew her gaze, said okay, and looked down at the back of her hand with the needle pierced. Only half of the delicate side face was left.

Her eyelashes are long, her eyes are bright and clear, and her pale melon seed face should be pitiful. But she didn't see Chu Chu pity in her, but instead she was tenacious and calm. It makes people look at the stuffy pain in their chests.

The nurse was unconsciously stunned, unconsciously lowered her voice, and said, "I'll send you a hot water bottle later, and apply the medicine to your hands, so that the back of your hand is not easy to bruise." ”

Zhou He politely thanked him and said that there was no need to bother, she would just do it herself later.

The nurse smiled and said that it would be a matter of the way. Let her lie down and rest, and call her if she is uncomfortable. I adjusted the medicine a little slower, and then I went out.

The door was quickly closed gently, and Zhou He lay down in a daze for a while, closing his eyes.

I don't know if the nurse told Cheng Wei about looking for her at noon and didn't find her, or what, Cheng Wei's driver actually came over later. He didn't stay in the ward, put aside the soup he had brought, and went out. He didn't go out, he stayed at the door. It's like a door god. The nurses who got in and out couldn't help but take a look.

Knowing that he couldn't drive people away, Zhou He didn't rush either. For the rest of the afternoon, he stayed in the hospital room without leaving the door.

Cheng Wei didn't know what to do, so he didn't come over this night. Seeing that the driver was still guarding the door later, Zhou He walked out after being silent for a while, and said, "Go back and rest." ”

I saw a smile on her face and said, "Don't worry about me, you can rest early." ”

He bowed slightly, very respectfully.

Zhou He was silent for a moment, but he still didn't say anything, closed the door and went back to the ward.

She originally thought that the driver would leave after staying up all night. But when I got up the next day and went out, I saw that the driver had not left. Still sitting outside.

She was going to go out for activities, but the door was closed.

Later, when the doctor came to check on the room, the person outside the room followed in with a thermos box, and she realized that the person had changed shifts. Obviously, he had to watch her twenty-four hours a day.

Zhou He was a little anxious. She restrained herself and forced herself to calm down.

The doctor checked the room and had breakfast, and the people outside came in and said respectfully, "Miss Zhou, do you want to go upstairs to the ward?"

I don't have to think about it to know that this was arranged by Cheng Wei, and I have to say that he is quite good at arranging it.

Zhou He's face was expressionless, and after a while, he looked up at the man and asked, "When will you Cheng come over?"

The man was not surprised, she asked Cheng Weilai, and said respectfully: "Mr. Cheng has an urgent business trip, and he should not come back until tomorrow afternoon." If you have anything, I can tell him. ”

Zhou He said that there was nothing to do now. In her absence, she couldn't be angry with others, and even though she was disgusted with being watched 24 hours a day, she didn't say anything. With a blank face, he let the people follow him upstairs.

The little one had already finished breakfast, and he knew she was sick. When he saw her, he asked worriedly, "Teacher, does your stomach still hurt?"

The little guy's appearance made Zhou He's heart warm, he reached out and touched his head, and said, "It's okay, the teacher is fine." She said and asked, "Does Xiao Bao's wound still hurt?"

The little guy shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." I'll get better soon, and you'll get better soon, teacher. ”

Although he is sensible, he is still a child in the end. Zhou He smiled and said yes, and took the story book he bought to read to the little guy, but the little guy refused at this time, saying that he wanted her to have a good rest. He came to read it to her.

Zhou He couldn't help laughing at this time, and nodded in response.

Time passed quite quickly with the little one, until the person waiting outside reminded her that it was time to go back to the ward, and Zhou He said goodbye to the little guy and went downstairs.

Cheng Wei came back the next night, and it was already past eleven o'clock, but Zhou He hadn't slept yet. The lights in the hospital room were turned off, and her eyes were wide open.

There was a faint sound of Cheng Wei talking to people outside, and she sat up from the bed expressionlessly.

Cheng Wei was probably telling the man to go back, and soon pushed the door and walked in. He didn't plan to turn on the light, he saw Zhou He sitting in the blurred light, he was slightly stunned, then reached out and turned on the light, put the flowers he bought aside, and said, "It's late, haven't you slept yet?"

He looked like he was doing nothing, as if he didn't know why Zhou He hadn't slept yet.

Zhou He looked at him coldly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little ridicule, and said, "Is Mr. Cheng planning to monitor me twenty-four hours a day and put me under house arrest?"

Her reaction was expected by Cheng Wei, the look on his face was plain, and he didn't deny it, saying: "Your body is still very weak now, and it is not suitable to go outside." ”

He said it lightly.

Zhou He was irritated by his attitude, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Is Mr. Cheng too lenient in managing this idle matter?"

Cheng Wei didn't answer her words, poured a glass of water and put it aside, and said, "Don't be angry, be careful that your stomach hurts again after a while." Wait for the doctor to say you're fine, go wherever you want. ”

He admitted that this was a disguised house arrest for her.

Zhou He took a deep breath, pointed his finger to the door, and said coldly, "Please go out." ”

Her lips were pursed tightly, and her pale lips were pursed blood-red by her.

Cheng Wei stood still, looked at her straight for a while, and then said, "Ahe, I think we need to have a good talk." ”

His tone also cooled.

The corners of Zhou He's mouth hooked up with sarcasm, met his gaze, and said, "I don't think I have anything to talk about with Mr. Cheng." ”

She looks stubborn.

Cheng Wei looked at her, suddenly smiled lightly, and said, "Xiao Ahe, do you want to draw a clear line with me?" He didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and then said: "If you want to draw a clear line, I won't care about you anymore when your illness is cured." It's not early, go to bed. ”

Later in the day, his tone became relaxed. It's like Zhou He is just a child who is unreasonable with adults.

Zhou Yiyi looked at him with dark eyes, and suddenly smiled faintly, and said, "Has Mr. Cheng always been so good to his predecessor?"

When she mentioned the word ex, she deliberately bit it heavily, and her tone was a little provocative.

Cheng Wei moved his gaze to her, originally thought that he would have a cold face, but he didn't, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Xiao Ahe, are you planning to provoke me?"

He debunked Zhou He's plan with a single word.

Before Zhou He could speak, he continued to say lightly: "It's a pity that I don't eat this trick." ”

After he finished speaking, he completely ignored Zhou He, and went directly to the direction of the bathroom to wash. Zhou He was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to close his eyes.

Cheng Wei stayed in the bathroom for a long time before coming out, and he didn't care if Zhou He fell asleep or not, he turned off the light after coming out, and lay down on the bed next to him.

Zhou He failed to provoke him and let him slam the door, and his heart was sullen. I couldn't sleep at all for a while. But no one spoke again.

She still fell asleep in front of Cheng Wei in the end, and fell asleep unconsciously. Cheng Wei, who was lying on the other bed, couldn't sleep, listened to her breathing evenly, got off the bed, went to the bed where she slept, pulled the quilt under her armpit and covered it, stood quietly in front of the bed for a while, and did not go back to the bed next to her, but took the cigarette and went out.

He stood outside for a long time, and occasionally a nurse passing by in the middle of the night looked at him curiously. He was aware of the gaze, but he didn't look back. It wasn't until the sky outside grew bright that he snuffed out the cigarette butt. When the smell of smoke on his body dissipated, he entered the ward.

Zhou Yiyi slept until dawn, and when he woke up, Cheng Wei was gone. Instead, the nurse came over and took her blood pressure and temperature.

She originally thought that Cheng Wei was going back, but before the nurse left, she saw him come in from outside with breakfast.

Zhou Yiyi's face turned cold when he saw him. Cheng Wei didn't care at all, asked the nurse a few words, and when the nurse left, he took a bowl and took out the porridge he brought, carefully stirred it with a spoon and blew it, and then brought it to the side of the bed, and said: "Millet porridge, it's very stomach-nourishing, eat it." ”

It was useless to provoke, Zhou He took a passive resistance at this time, did not speak, and did not touch the porridge. As if I hadn't heard him, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes.

Cheng Wei just stood with the porridge in his hand, slowly stirring it with a spoon. After a long while, he said slowly, "If I were you, I would get up and eat the porridge." If you don't eat, the disease will only get worse. You shouldn't be like lying in this room for half a month or a month. ”

His words were full of threats.

Zhou He knew that he could do it completely. Not to mention half a month and a month, even if it is half a year, he has the ability to let her stay here.

She gritted her teeth, lay down for a while, sat up, and took the porridge from Cheng Wei's hand.

Cheng Wei smiled slightly and said, "This is good, only by eating well can the disease get better." ”

His tone was extremely gentle, but Zhou He only felt creepy. Adhering to the principle that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, she didn't say a word, and continued to lie down and sleep after eating the porridge in the bowl.

It's just that before he lay down, he heard Cheng Wei say: "The doctor said that it is not appropriate to lie down and sleep after eating." You can get up a little bit and move around. ”

Zhou He's lips pursed tightly, and he didn't get out of bed, but he didn't lie down anymore, and took the book on the bedside and flipped it up.

She completely saw that Cheng Wei regarded him as a transparent person, but Cheng Wei didn't suggest it at all, knowing that she didn't want to see him, she still started a business in the ward. In the quiet ward, except for the sound of Zhou He's occasional flipping book, the only sound was the crisp snapping sound of him tapping on the keyboard.

He was very careful, and every once in a while, he would get up and change a cup of hot water for Zhou He and put it at hand. It wasn't until the nurse came later for an infusion that he put down his computer and watched from the sidelines.

Although Zhou He was compressed with hot water, the back of his hand was still slightly blue. Cheng Wei saw that the nurse couldn't find a blood vessel for a long time, and his brows furrowed. said lightly: "Go and call your head nurse." ”

The back of Zhou He's other hand was still bruised, while the slightly better one already had four needle holes on the back. He's not stupid, there's no way he's not going on.

The nurse's face flushed, and she explained, "Miss Zhou's blood vessels are too thin......

Cheng Wei looked at her coldly and said, "Do you want me to go in person?"

The little nurse was swept away by his sharp gaze, and almost cried, but did not dare to say anything more, and hurried outside.

Because Cheng Wei had nothing to do, the head nurse was soon called over. She is still more experienced in the end, although she still has been looking for blood vessels for a long time, but she did not let Zhou He suffer, and she got a stitch in place.

I don't know what kind of potion I lost, and Zhou He's arm was a little tingling. She lost the interest in reading anymore, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Cheng Wei didn't know what to say to the head nurse when he went out, probably because he knew that Zhou He was not asleep, and after coming in, he sat down at the head of the bed, picked up the book Zhou He had read before, and slowly began to read.

Zhou He restrained himself from listening, counting sheep like a sheep and restrained himself from listening. Then counting, she fell asleep quickly.

When she woke up, Cheng Wei was no longer in the ward, she sat in a daze for a while, and after greeting the nurse, she went to see the little one.

She had just fallen asleep.

She didn't wake him up, and she didn't want to go back to the room, so she sat down on a chair outside the hallway.

When Xu Mingze came over, she was sitting on the chair in a daze, with a palm-sized face in a trance. Even Xu Mingze called her, but she didn't react.

When he shouted a third time, Zhou He suddenly came back to his senses. Hurriedly called Doctor Xu.

Xu Mingze looked at her with a frown and asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Zhou He didn't know where he was misleading and he was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said, "No." ”

She looked preoccupied just now, Xu Mingze paused slightly, and said, "If you need help, you can tell me." ”

He had misunderstood what was wrong with her.

Zhou He quickly shook his head and said no, and then asked about the little guy's current physical condition.

She didn't want to talk about herself, Xu Mingze didn't force it, saying that the little guy was recovering well. After ten days, I was discharged from the hospital without any problems.

Zhou He nodded and thanked him.

originally thought that Xu Mingze would leave, but he didn't. He took out a pen, wrote a few times on the paper in his hand, handed it to Zhou He, and said, "This is my mobile phone and my home phone, if there is anything, you can call me." ”

He didn't say much after speaking, handed the note to Zhou He, and left with the medical record book. Leaving Zhou He blankly looking at the two numbers on the paper in his hand.

It didn't take long for her to come to her senses and put the note away. After sitting for a while, seeing that the little one was not awake, he got up and went downstairs.

When Xu Mingze came out of other wards, he subconsciously looked at the chair on the side, the chair was empty, and Zhou He had already left.

He didn't look back for a moment until the nurse curiously asked him what he was looking at, and he withdrew his gaze. After saying that, he didn't look at anything, and walked forward.

He had always been cold, and the nurse stuck out her tongue quietly in the back, not daring to ask anything more.

Xu Mingze was busy this afternoon, and just after returning to the office, he called from the emergency department, saying that a patient he had just received needed immediate surgery, and the director asked him to go to the operating table to help.

Xu Mingze knew that the emergency was urgent, so he said hello, hung up the phone and immediately told the nurse that he had surgery, and then hurried to the operating room.

The operation was a bit troublesome and didn't end until after 9 p.m.

Xu Mingze didn't even eat lunch, and he was already tired. The nurse said that he would not let him order takeout, and said that he would go home and eat later.

He quickly went to change his clothes, and was supposed to go straight into the parking lot. While waiting for the elevator, he didn't know what suddenly came to mind, his footsteps paused, and he walked towards the fire staircase.
