Dr. Lu smiled slightly and said, "As long as you keep quiet, you won't, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in moving forward, and Zhou He followed him honestly.

The lounge he was talking about was in his office. A small and cosy room, with only a set of sofas, a small table and a bed.

He didn't have time to sit with Zhou He, so he threw a book to her to read for herself, and went out to get busy.

Although the lounge is in the office, the decoration materials are soundproofed. Even though there was only a wall separating him, Zhou He couldn't hear the voices outside at all.

The books on Dr. Lu's side are all professional books, and the ones that were thrown to Zhou He are similar books. She didn't have the desire to read, and sat there with the book in her hand.

It was boring to sit for a few hours, and she was in a daze, and she flipped through the book in her hand without a match.

After sitting at three o'clock, there was a knock at the door. She turned around, and Dr. Lui walked in with a cup of coffee and a dessert. His eyes swept the book in Zhou He's hand, and said with a smile: "I ordered one at the front desk, and I also ordered one for you." ”

Zhou He's neurasthenia, has rarely drunk coffee. However, she still politely thanked her.

Dr. Lu put down the coffee and dessert, looked at the time, and said, "If you feel bored sitting here, you can go back at any time." ”

Zhou He said hello, rubbed his fingers unconsciously on his trouser legs, and asked tentatively, "Did Mr. Cheng say when I will come over next time?"

It was not surprising that she would ask this question, Dr. Lu, tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "It should be once every three days." It's a bit too much, so I'll have to ask the assistant. ”

Zhou He pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "What if I'm not here?"

Dr. Lu smiled and said, "From next month, I will take a vacation from time to time. ”

Zhou He's face changed, his lips pursed even tighter, he looked up at Dr. Lu, and said, "You should know that I'm normal now. Her voice became slightly hoarse, and she lowered her head and said, "Even though I tried to do stupid things, I'm all right now." ”

Dr. Lu sighed low and said, "Miss Zhou, depression can easily recur. Mr. Cheng told me about your situation, and he said that you tried to cut your wrists, right?"

Zhou He hid the scarred hand in his sleeve tightly, was silent for a while, and said, "For a while, my mood was indeed very low. Felt...... I can't find the meaning of living. ”

Speaking of the back, her gaze became hollow.

During that time of travel, she was all walking dead. She didn't want anyone to worry about her, and she was afraid that Li Peiyuan would worry about anything, so she would send him an email almost every day, sending him the scenes she had photographed.

After she finished speaking, she quickly added, "It was only during that time. Later, after school, it was never again. ”

Doctor Lu nodded, groaned slightly, and said, "Mr. Cheng came to me, not really treating you as a patient...... He's just worried that your illness will come back. That's why I'm sure of it. Because of your previous situation, I know better. He seemed to be thinking of the appropriate wording, paused, and continued: "Although the person who paid me is Mr. Cheng, you don't have to worry at all, there will be a third person who will know about the conversation between the two of us." Although I love money, I still have the most basic work ethic. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou He and said seriously: "Miss Zhou, you are a very strong girl I have ever seen." But no matter how strong a person is, he needs to talk to him. To live, it is time to move forward. People or things in the past, we can remember. But we must not let this lead to stagnation. I know that you hide your thoughts and emotions because you don't want the people around you to worry. But in the long run, the heart will inevitably become depressed. You didn't do anything stupid, you have been working hard to overcome it. But have you ever thought that without Miss Zhou, no matter who is in life, there will be times when you need to be weak. You don't have to tense your nerves all the time, and you can choose to be weak once in a while. ”

"I know you don't want to come over, I will communicate with Mr. Cheng. But I hope you can keep in touch with me. If you have anything on your mind, you can talk to me like a hole in a tree. Of course, I think Miss Zhou and I are friends. ”

His tone was gentle and eloquent. It's a long story, but it's not boring.

Zhou He waited for him to finish, then smiled faintly and said, "Doctor Lu, the last thing I want now is to accept the help of Mr. Cheng in your mouth." ”

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Mr. Cheng has always been fraternal, probably because he feels that he has been responsible for having a relationship with him." But I don't need to. I can't play his fraternity game. Personally, I think it's best to die after a breakup. Dr. Lui should have known that I would come because I was threatened by him. Of course, I'm grateful for what you just said to communicate with him. I will do what you say, and I will tell you anything. But could you please convince him as well and ask him not to disturb my life again? Without him bothering, I think I'd be better sooner. ”

Her tone was cold, and she said it all in one breath.

I thought Dr. Lui would be embarrassed, but he didn't. He still kept smiling and said, "Okay, I will tell Mr. Cheng what Miss Zhou said." ”

He was so open-minded, but it made Zhou He uncomfortable. She tried her best to calm herself, thanked Dr. Lui, and said goodbye to him before leaving.

Although it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still shining brightly outside. Standing in the dazzling and scorching sun, Zhou He inexplicably gave birth to some hollowness and dazedness.

She didn't stay long, just stood for a moment, and then went to the side of the road to get a taxi.

Li Peiyuan said that Li Ying would come back at the end of the month, but somehow it was ahead of schedule. When she returned to the old house, she saw that her aunt was already busy in the kitchen, and when she asked, she learned that Li Peiyuan had gone to the airport to pick up people. He said he would be back by the evening.

Zhou He originally thought that he would accompany Li Ying back. But no, she was the only one who came back this time.

Zhou He hadn't seen her for almost two years, and she had changed a lot. The whole person was fat for a whole circle, his face was pale and seemed to be a little puffy, I don't know if he was too tired from the journey or what, he looked weak.

She didn't seem to know that Zhou He was here from Li Peiyuan, and she was stunned when she saw her, and then she shouted, "Ahe." ”

Zhou He nodded, and stepped forward to help carry her luggage into the house.

Li Ying was happy to see her, and after she put down her luggage and poured her a cup of tea, she tentatively asked, "When did you come back?"

Zhou He, she learned something about it from Li Peiyuan.

"Been back for a few days. Zhou He replied.

Li Ying nodded. The mother and daughter could no longer be found to talk to each other. Fortunately, Li Peiyuan came in after parking the car and took over the topic.

Auntie has already set a table of meals, Li Ying is tired from the journey, and her appetite is not good. I only ate a small half bowl of rice, drank half a bowl of soup, and went upstairs to rest.

There were only two people left at the dinner table, Zhou He and Li Peiyuan, Li Peiyuan thought she would ask something, but she didn't ask anything, and kept her head buried in eating.

Li Peiyuan didn't mention anything, after eating, Zhou He helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and he went back to the room to call the doctor to make an appointment.

The next morning, Zhou He had to get up earlier than usual, although she got up early, Li Ying and Li Peiyuan had already gotten up.

Although she had rested all night, Li Ying's face was not good. On the contrary, there are more dark circles under the eyes, and it should be that the jet lag has not been reversed and has not slept well.

Li Peiyuan had already arranged to accompany Li Ying to the hospital this morning, but when he was still at the dining table, the phone at home rang.

After the aunt went to pick it up, she said that she was looking for Li Peiyuan, so he went over to pick it up.

He talked on the phone for a long time, and although he couldn't see anything on his face when he came back, he didn't continue to eat breakfast. After a deep sigh, he said, "I have to go out immediately, the hospital is ......."

Li Ying knew what he was going to say, and before he could finish his words, she interrupted him and said, "You go and do your work, I'll just go over by myself." ”

Li Peiyuan was worried that she would go alone, and said, "I will arrange someone to accompany her." If time comes, I'll get done. ”

As if he hadn't heard Li Ying's words, he was about to take out his mobile phone and call someone to come over.

As soon as the mobile phone was taken out, Zhou He, who had been eating breakfast on the side, said, "No need to call someone, I'm fine today." ”

This means that she went with her.

Li Ying didn't expect her to offer to accompany her, and looked at her in surprise. Zhou He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'll go change my clothes." ”

As she spoke, she went upstairs.

Li Peiyuan put away his mobile phone and went to ask the driver to prepare the car.

By the time Zhou He changed his clothes and came down, Li Peiyuan had already left. The driver has started the car and is waiting. She checked what she should bring for Li Ying, and then got into the car with her.

The driver had already been instructed by Li Peiyuan and gave Zhou He's appointment doctor's phone number. Just go over and go straight to the doctor. He also asked Zhou He if he wanted him to accompany him.

Now that the doctor has made an appointment, there is nothing he can do to follow. Zhou He said no, if there was something, he would call him.

Because the doctor made an appointment in advance, it saved a lot of time. The doctor was very polite, and after asking Li Ying where she was uncomfortable, he muttered for a while and opened an examination, asking her to go for an examination first.

Zhou He didn't let the driver come up, and she was the only one who ran before and after the inspection. She barely spoke, only reminding Li Ying when she should have reminded her.

Li Ying's heart was mixed, looking at her back and not knowing what she was thinking.

The examination arranged by the doctor was completed quickly, Li Ying's body was not in serious trouble, she had an illness when she was abroad, and then she did not recuperate well and overworked, she only needed to take medicine to recuperate well.

Zhou He was relieved to learn of this result, she called Li Peiyuan first, and then took Li Ying out of the hospital.

While waiting for the driver on the side of the road, Zhou He, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "What do you want to eat?"

She didn't have an appetite last night, and she didn't eat much for breakfast this morning. These weeks have been noted.

Li Ying was in a trance for a while, and then said with a smile: "I remember that there were sweet and sour cold noodles over there where I used to live, and I haven't eaten them for a long time. ”

I guess I haven't eaten since I went abroad. Even if I come back occasionally, I can't remember to eat because there is something going on.

Zhou He snorted. It was impossible to eat it after it had been demolished, so she took out her mobile phone and looked up on the Internet where there were more authentic cold noodles nearby.

There is indeed one nearby, not far away, saying that it is in the old alley, and the car cannot be parked. Zhou He hesitated a little and said, "It's around here, it's not a long walk." Give the driver something and ask him to go back first, and then take a taxi back after eating?"

It's rare for her to be willing to be close to her, how can Li Ying not agree. A smile should be fine.

The alley is almost a kilometer away from the hospital, and Zhou He couldn't find the way to use the navigation. All the way into the alleys. The cold noodle shop was under a stout old locust tree, its branches blocking out the scorching sun. There were several tables under the trees. Although it was not yet time to eat, there was already a long queue.

Zhou He found a table for Li Ying to sit down, and he went to line up.

The shop doesn't just sell cold noodles, cold noodles are just one of the specialties. When it was Zhou Heshi's turn, she heard the shopkeeper say that cold noodles with sour plum soup were good, so she asked for two.

The cold noodles in this shop are really good, Li Ying tasted it and said that it tasted the same as before. It was probably a rare appetite, and her brow furrowed.

Zhou He pushed the sour plum soup in front of her and carefully placed the spoon. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks and start eating, her cell phone rang. It's not a phone call, it's a text message.

She was a little confused about who would text her, but she took out her phone anyway. The text message turned out to be sent by Xu Mingze, and Zhou He clicked on it with doubts. There are only a few simple words in it: Have you eaten?

Zhou He was a little surprised that he would send a text message, and before he was ready to reply, he sent another picture. At the top is the leader holding the manuscript and reading something, and there is a line of words at the bottom: It's a bit boring.

Zhou He's serious face came to mind, and it was hard to imagine that he would be bored. couldn't help but smile slightly, went back to eating cold noodles, and waited for him to bring him over to eat.

Xu Mingze was probably really bored, so he quickly got back to her and let her concentrate on eating.

Zhou He put away his mobile phone at this time, lowered his head and began to eat cold noodles. The cold noodles were sweet and sour, and she and Li Ying ate them cleanly.

There was an alley near the teahouse that already sold small things, and Zhou He saw that Li Ying's spirit was not bad, and asked her if she wanted to go shopping. I just stayed at home when I went back.

Li Ying agreed, and the two walked slowly in the alley.

Li Ying hadn't been to this kind of place for a long time, and she stopped and went. But I didn't buy much, but I did buy some food.

Probably saw that Zhou He sent a text message before, and on the way back, Li Ying suddenly asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" You are not too young, it is time to get married." ”

Her tone was very gentle, with a faint sigh.

Zhou He has never been married, and she is not only worried. Even He Changhui asked. Even if Zhou He can support herself, she doesn't want her to be alone.

Li Ying paused slightly, didn't wait for Zhou He to say anything, and then said: "Your little uncle is not a good example, don't learn from him." ”

Zhou He didn't say anything, and after a while, he said lightly: "You don't have to worry about my business, you take care of your body." ”

Li Ying's expression was gloomy, and at this moment she suddenly remembered that she had surgery in the hospital that year, and when she passed, she asked Li Peiyuan to tell her that she didn't want to see her.

She was uncomfortable at that time, and she had secretly hurt herself. It wasn't until this time, when she accompanied her to the hospital, that she didn't know that she didn't want to see her at that time, she just didn't want to make her uncomfortable. At that time, she was probably ready for a failed operation. That's why she was let go. I probably thought that even if the operation failed...... She doesn't have to be that uncomfortable.

But she also knows that this does not mean that she can meddle in her marriage and her life.

In the early years, she did have the idea of letting her marry. But now, she doesn't think so. She is already ashamed of her, and only hopes that she can find a suitable person to spend the rest of her life with.

In the past so many years, the only thing she can rely on is herself. Whether it is her mother or Ren Yurong as a father, she has never given her any help. For the rest of her life, she wished she had a thick shoulder to lean on, and that there would be someone standing behind her to shelter her from the wind and rain for anything.

Neither of them spoke, and the car was very quiet for a while. Forced himself to suppress the sourness in his heart, and after a long while, Li Ying said: "Ahe, your father and I are sorry for you." Anyway, we hope you do well. He and I have never been in contact since our divorce. He called me this year and last year. Every time you call, it's about your marriage. In my life, you owe the most money. Only by watching you get married and live happily with your own family, even if you die, can I close my eyes. ”

Mistakes made when you were too young are almost always remembered when you get older. At that time, she was gambling and disgusted with Ren Yurong, even with Zhou He. Now that I think about it, how innocent she was.

The consequences of their marriage have to be borne by a child. Probably because I was idle after my health was not good, and I had more room in my mind to think about other things. Whenever she sat alone or in the dead of night, she often remembered how she lived as a child. If you meet a bad guy...... And what to do?

However, time can never be turned back. The mistakes she made are beyond her power to make amends.

Zhou He's face was expressionless, not knowing whether to listen to her words, and looked sideways out the window.

Li Ying's eyes were full of sorrow, and she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say anything in the end.

The atmosphere in the car was a little depressing, but fortunately, the car stopped in front of the Li family's old house after a while.

The two got out of the car, Zhou He took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor, divided the medicine according to the instructions, poured water and gave it to Li Ying, and went upstairs.

The weather was too hot during the day, and at night there was thunder outside. Although it was thundering, the rain could not fall for a long time. When Xu Mingze was about to go out to eat with his colleagues, the rain suddenly fell. The plan to go out to eat was ruined, and several people lost their appetite, and each person paid for a bowl of noodles.

When it's hot, the room is air-conditioned, and goosebumps immediately get on your skin when you go in. Xu Mingze turned off the air conditioner and stood in front of the big glass window to watch the pouring rain outside.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Zhou Helai.

Barely thinking about it, he had already pulled out his phone. I dialed the number, which wasn't even unfamiliar.

Zhou He didn't know what he was doing, so he picked up the phone after a long while. Hello.

Her voice was slightly hoarse, Xu Mingze was slightly stunned, and asked, "Do you have a cold?"

Zhou He didn't know if it was in bed or what, but there was a sound of rustling over there. After a while, she cleared her throat and said no.

Her voice was different from usual, and Xu Mingze's mind suddenly remembered her lonely figure on the rooftop of the hospital. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

When he asked this, Zhou He on the other end of the phone was stunned, and she replied almost subconsciously: "No." ”

But as if he hadn't heard her, he said, "Send me an address, and I'll come and take you out to breathe." ”

As he spoke, he took his coat and walked outside.

At this time, it is raining heavily outside, and it is dangerous to drive or take a taxi. Zhou He said helplessly: "I'm really fine, Doctor Xu, you don't have to come over." ”

Xu Mingze had closed the door and walked to the elevator, sighed, and said, "Okay, it's okay if I don't come." You give me the address, and tomorrow I'll ask the hotel staff to send you something. ”

If it were usual, Zhou He would definitely refuse. But in comparison, she is more willing to accept that he will send things tomorrow. After a moment's hesitation, he said the address.

Xu Mingze wrote it down, said goodbye to Zhou He with a smile, and hung up the phone.

It was already past nine o'clock when Zhou He received his call again, and the rain was still falling outside. But it's much smaller than when it first came down.

She was a little puzzled as to why he called again, picked up the phone, and before she could speak, she heard Xu Mingze say gently: "Can you come out? I'm outside." ”

Zhou Yiyi didn't react a little, and waited until he reacted to where he said outside. While annoying that he shouldn't have given him the address, he quickly changed his clothes.

She couldn't find an excuse for going out in such a heavy rain, but fortunately, when she went downstairs, Li Peiyuan and Aunt Li Ying were not in the living room, so she ran out quietly.

Xu Mingze didn't know where to find a car, and the car was parked at the door when she went out. He had gotten out of the car with a large umbrella in his hand. The dim yellow light fell on the umbrella, and the smile on his face warmed the loneliness in the long alley in the thick rain and mist.
