It's just a few words, but every word has a threatening flavor.

Zhou He knew that there was nothing he couldn't do when he started to go crazy, and she was here with Xu Mingze now. She was afraid that Cheng Wei would target Xu Mingze, so she pursed her lips and read the text message for a while, then dialed the phone back.

Cheng Wei should have been waiting for her call, and the phone was picked up just after ringing. It was very quiet on his side, and he fed.

Zhou He stood by the window, looked at the lights outside, and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"

"Come down. Cheng Wei's tone was light.

With his ability, it was completely easy to find out where Xu Mingze lived. When he said that, he should have been downstairs.

Zhou Ji was not surprised, and said lightly: "I'm going to get ready to sleep." ”

Cheng Wei on the other end of the phone didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he suddenly smiled low and said, "Then it seems that Xiao Ahe wants me to go up." ”

Zhou He's hairs immediately stood up, and his lips pursed even tighter. A look of tiredness appeared on her face, she subconsciously didn't want Cheng Wei to appear here, and asked after a while, "Where are you?"

Cheng Wei replied very happily and said, "Downstairs." ”

Zhou He didn't speak anymore and hung up the phone directly.

At this time, Xu Mingze was still in the living room and did not sleep. Zhou He didn't know what excuse he should find to go out, so he stood in the room for a while, but still opened the door and went out.

Xu Mingze was taking a shower and was about to go to sleep. Zhou He suddenly came out, and he was stunned for a moment.

But Zhou He didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "I'll go out and buy something." ”

She said it vaguely.

Xu Mingze quickly dried his hair and said, "You are not familiar with it here, tell me what you want to buy, and I will buy it for you." ”

Zhou He hurriedly said no, and said: "I'll go by myself, and when I came over, I saw that there was a convenience store downstairs." You rest yours. ”

She said as she walked briskly to the entrance.

Probably because he was afraid that he would embarrass her by insisting, Xu Mingze didn't insist, took out the key from the side, and said: "This is the key to the door, I'm in the study, if I don't hear you knock on the door, you will open the door yourself." ”

Zhou He responded with a good word, didn't dare to look at him, and hurriedly went out.

At this time, there was no one in the elevator, and Zhou He quickly reached the first floor. originally thought that Cheng Wei was near the elevator, but she didn't, she looked around and didn't see him.

Zhou Ji didn't delay and walked out directly. When I got outside, I found Cheng Wei standing at the door, smoking a cigarette carelessly. He probably heard Zhou He's footsteps, and he raised his head.

Zhou He quickly walked in front of him and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Wei dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, compared to the threat just now, his tone was quite calm now, he looked upstairs, and asked quite casually, "Why do you live here?"

Zhou He couldn't help but smile coldly and said, "Where do I live, do I need to report to Mr. Cheng?

Her whole body was like a hedgehog with thorns, sharp and sharp.

She expected this to be like this, and his face did not change. didn't insist on staying on the topic of living here, changed the topic, and said: "Xiao Bao's body is weak, and it is inconvenient for you to take him on a long-distance bus." I'll have someone come and see you back tomorrow morning. ”

His tone was calm and patient. It's like Zhou Hecai has been unreasonable.

Zhou He didn't appreciate it at all, and said coldly: "Don't bother Mr. Cheng, Dr. Xu will send us back." ”

Cheng Wei didn't expect Xu Mingze to ask for leave to send them back, so he didn't speak for a while. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that Dr. Xu is also very good to Xiao Bao." ”

There was nothing to see on his face at all.

Zhou He didn't speak, and a slight cool breeze blew, blowing her hair up. She didn't have any hands to pull, and said lightly: "Is there anything else to do with Mr. Cheng?"

There was no emotion in her tone.

Cheng Wei took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and did not speak.

Zhou He didn't wait for him to speak, turned around and walked inside. Cheng Wei lowered his head and smoked, did not look at her back, nor did he open his mouth to stop her.

The elevator went upstairs, and Zhou He waited two minutes before coming down. It was empty, and she stood stunned when she entered the elevator. It wasn't until she got out of the elevator that she remembered that she hadn't bought anything.

She stood for a moment, not looking back. Walked to the door and took out the key to open the door.

Although the light in the living room was on, Xu Mingze was not there. Zhou He changed his shoes, turned off the light, and went back to the guest room.

Lying on the bed, Zhou He couldn't sleep. Look at the ceiling with your eyes open. But tomorrow was a hurry, and she forced herself not to think about anything, and closed her eyes.

Although she got up early the next morning, Xu Mingze had already gotten up when she got up. Already in the kitchen started to make breakfast.

Zhou He was taken aback and said, "Why did you get up so early?"

Xu Mingze smiled slightly and said, "I'm used to it." He looked up at the time and said, "Go wash up, you will have breakfast in a while." I looked at the weather forecast over there and it will rain today. The car can't go too fast, so let's leave early. ”

Zhou He said hello and quickly went to wash up. Before Xu Mingze's breakfast was put on the table, the little guy woke up from the bed.

Xu Mingze prepared a rich breakfast, with porridge, omelette, sandwiches and milk. When he went to bed last night, Zhou He obviously didn't see anything he had prepared, but when he was leaving, he came out with fruits, snacks and mineral water.

Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Mingze explained: "Prepare food in the car, sometimes you can pad when you are hungry." ”

Zhou He sighed and nodded.

As Xu Mingze expected, it was really rainy weather downstairs. He put the snacks in the passenger seat, came over to fasten the seat belt for the little guy, and said gently: "I have to sit in the car for several hours today, Xiaobao must tell me in time if there is anything uncomfortable or does Mr. Zhou know?"

The little guy nodded and agreed, and Xu Mingze went to the driver's seat in front of him and sat down and started the car.

As Xu Mingze expected, it was really rainy outside. Fortunately, there is no fog in the city.

I got up too early, and the little guy dozed off not long after he got in the car. Zhou He unfastened the seat belt and let him lean on his lap, and took the thin blanket prepared by Xu Mingze to cover him.

Probably because he was afraid that the little guy would be uncomfortable driving fast, Xu Mingze's car drove very slowly. After the little guy fell asleep, he and Zhou He couldn't find anything to say, so they put on the song.

He was supposed to be a calmer person, and the discs in the car were all soft and soft music. After listening to it for a long time, it seems that my heart can also follow and calm down.

Although Zhou He didn't sleep well last night, he couldn't sleep today. He turned his head sideways and looked at the water droplets rolling down outside the window.

The car quickly drove up the highway, and I don't know who called Xu Mingze, he put on a Bluetooth headset and talked to the person on the other end of the phone. It's all about medicine. His countenance was serious and serious.

There was no fog in the city, but not long after getting on the highway, the front was covered in fog. It wasn't fast in the first place, but it's even slower now.

Xu Mingze prepared snacks originally planned to plush a little on the tell, and wait for the next one to go to dinner. But this time was delayed, and when it was time for lunch, they had to have a meal in the service area.

I can't eat it in the car, and the little guy can't eat it. In the end, only Xu Mingze ate more.

It was originally a five-hour drive, but now it was delayed by the fog, and it was already a little more than one o'clock when I told it. Zhou Ji didn't know how long Xu Mingze had been on leave, so he hesitated when he arrived at the county seat, and said, "Doctor Xu, you are busy, why don't you go back, it's not far away, I'll take Ah Bao to take a taxi back." ”

Xu Mingze looked at her from the rearview mirror, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, I took two days off, and I was quite tired to go back in the fog today, and it would be too late to go back tomorrow." ”

Neither of them in the service area had eaten much, so he looked out the window and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Zhou He has no appetite, but the little guy has to eat. She said yes.

She rarely even comes to the county seat, and she doesn't know where to eat. In the end, Xu Mingze parked the car in front of a restaurant with good decoration and got out of the car with the two of them.

The way back was twists and turns, Xu Mingze was not used to this road, and it was only at five o'clock that he arrived.

Because Zhou He had already called, several teachers in the school and Xiao Bao's grandparents had been waiting for a long time. The car stopped and they all came up.

knew that Xu Mingze was the doctor who operated on Xiao Bao, and Xiao Bao's grandparents were very grateful. Xu Mingze and the teachers must stay at his house for dinner and then go back.

In the end, everyone couldn't beat the two old men, and they all stayed.

Both the old lady and the old man were already a little inconvenienced in their movements, and the last meal was completed with the help of several teachers. It is very rich, and the chickens and ducks are killed and stewed early. The rest of the dishes were freshly picked from the vegetable patch. There was a big table set up.

The old man even took out a bottle of wine that he didn't know when he had saved, and he had to have a drink with Xu Mingze.

Xu Mingze couldn't shirk it, and drank two glasses.

He knew at a glance that he was not a regular drinker, and his face quickly turned red after drinking two glasses of wine. Even the neck is red. Fortunately, the old man did not persuade again.

It was a two-kilometer journey from Xiao Bao's house to the school, and the car was finally driven back by Zhou He. Xu Mingze didn't know if he was a little drunk or what, he kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.

It wasn't until the car stopped and Zhou called him that he opened his eyes.

There are only eight teachers in the school, including the principal and the school doctor, except for Zhou He, the rest are local, and the school dormitory is usually only Zhou He and the school doctor. Because there was no one to live in, there was a spare dormitory, but there were no bedding or other things.

Knowing that Xu Mingze would stay and rest tonight, the school doctor went to sleep at another teacher's house. Zhou He could sleep in her bed.

Although the dormitory is clean and tidy, it is very simple. In addition to an iron shelf, bed and a desk, there is only a simple cloth wardrobe. There are things that you can see clearly.

Zhou He entered the room and turned on the light to ask Xu Mingze to sit down, and said, "It's simple here, please forgive me for not entertaining Dr. Xu." ”

Xu Mingze was completely gentlemanly, and he only glanced at the furnishings in the room and withdrew his gaze. said: "Teacher Zhou is polite. ”

His face was still very red, and Zhou He boiled water and made him a cup of strong tea. Then he prepared toiletries and asked him to wash them.

Washing is just as easy, not even a water heater. I boiled hot water, mixed it with cold water in the water pipe outside, and then carried it to the bathroom that was simply separated from the side. Gargling is done right next to the water pipe.

Xu Mingze should have never washed in such a humble place, he was clumsy, much slower than usual. He didn't bring his clothes here, Zhou He didn't have any clothes here, he was still wearing his clothes.

I don't know if it's because he drank strong tea or because he was more sober after taking a shower, but he looked a little more sober after he came out. When Zhou He took a dry towel and wiped his hair, he suddenly asked, "Teacher Zhou must have been very unaccustomed to it when he first came here, right?"

Zhou Ji didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this, he was a little stunned, smiled faintly, and said, "It's good to get used to it." ”

When she came, there were only three teachers in the school, including her, and neither of the English textbooks she was sent could teach. The tone of the students was very strange.

She was ...... at the time stayed, and I didn't think about whether Xi was used to it. She was so confused that she couldn't even remember how she had come to that time in the first place. Of course, I didn't feel anything unaccustomed.

Xu Mingze nodded, and then he didn't speak again.

It's already past nine o'clock, and the nightlife in the city hasn't started yet. And in this town, many homes have already turned off their lights.

Zhou He didn't continue to say anything, and said, "I'll go wash first, if you are tired, you can rest first." ”

Xu Mingze nodded, signaling her to leave him alone.

The water had already been boiled, so Zhou Hema pulled out the plug and went to wash.

It seemed a little laborious for her to carry the bucket, and Xu Mingze originally wanted to help. But knowing that she wouldn't let him help, he didn't get up again.

Zhou He quickly washed up, originally thinking that Xu Mingze had rested, but he didn't. He stood in the hallway outside, looking out into the darkness.

Zhou He's footsteps paused slightly, and said, "Doctor Xu, if you can't sleep, you can watch TV for a while, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold, let's go into the house." ”

The temperature in the mountains is different from that in the city, and there is a large temperature difference between day and night. If you don't get used to it, it's easy to catch a cold.

Xu Mingze nodded, said hello, entered the room, and said, "It's quiet here." ”

Zhou He smiled slightly and said, "Compared to the city, it is much cleaner." "There are very few cars to hear, only insects and birds.

Xu Mingze nodded, couldn't find what to say for a while, and asked about the situation at Xiao Bao's family.

Zhou He said it all one by one. It's remote and poor. In fact, it is okay not only for Xiao Bao, many children are left-behind children. Don't know what ice cream is, or what burger fries are. A simple piece of candy can make a child smile.

Xu Mingze listened silently, and the atmosphere was always a little dignified when he talked about these things. Zhou He finished speaking in a few words and changed the topic. It was more than ten o'clock before I asked Xu Mingze to rest, and I had to go back tomorrow.

In a strange place, Xu Mingze originally thought that he couldn't sleep. But listening to the croaking sound from somewhere, he fell asleep unconsciously.

Because of the drinking, he did not wake up at the usual time. When he woke up, it was already dawn outside, and he reached out and rubbed his slightly swollen eyebrows, and sat up.

Because it was a weekend, there was no one in the school. Xu Mingze went out, only to find that Zhou He was cooking porridge in the rice cooker in the next room, it was almost ready, and she was slowly stirring it with a spoon.

Hearing his footsteps, she lowered her spoon and greeted him. Then he took out the toothpaste, toothbrush, and towel and put it in the basin and asked Xu Mingze to wash first, and he could have breakfast in a while.

Xu Mingze said yes and quickly went to wash.

When it was time for breakfast, Xu Mingze found that life here was more difficult than he imagined. Despite him, breakfast was still shabby, a small pot of green vegetable porridge and fried eggs. The only food served was a plate of turnip pickles.

Zhou He knew that breakfast was too simple, and said: "Doctor Liu probably didn't go to the town to purchase, and there are no ingredients in the refrigerator......

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Mingze, who smiled faintly and said, "It's good like this." ”

He said that he didn't need to be greeted by Zhouhe, so he picked up the spoon and ate the porridge.

The porridge is soft and glutinous and sweet, and a plate of salted radish is very good. Xu Mingze originally had no appetite after drinking, but now he also had an appetizer and ate two bowls of porridge.

At night, he worked at night, and had to rush back to work, and after eating, he took out the more than 1,000 fast money left in his wallet, and said, "Please Mr. Zhou hand it over to the old lady." Although Xiao Bao had surgery, he had to take medicine all the time. It's not easy to run far away, if his medicine is gone, call me, I'll open it and send it over. ”

His tone was gentle and serious.

He's done enough, it's long gone beyond his job as a doctor. Zhou He saw that the money was not taken up, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "No, Doctor Xu, it's enough to trouble you......"

"Teacher Zhou doesn't have to be polite, compared to what Teacher Zhou did, what I did was nothing. Xu Mingze stopped her from talking any further, and said lightly.

Slow to drive on a rainy day, it must have been afternoon when I went back. Xu Mingze did not delay any longer, and left soon after saying goodbye to Zhou He.

After Zhou He came back, the days were still the same, and the English courses she taught in the past few days when she was not there fell a lot. She schedules her time tightly and makes up for the lessons she has missed.

Whether it is the medical expenses of the little guy or the cost of her hospitalization, she has never paid it later, and she doesn't have to think about it to know that it was paid by Cheng Wei.

She was in a hurry when she left, she didn't have time to make a bill, and after Xu Mingze went back, she called him once and sent her the bill from the hospital.

Xu Mingze was scheduled for several surgeries for several days after he went back, and told her that he might have to wait a while, and he went to give her a call after he was done.

Zhou He replied that he was not in a hurry, and let him have time to go again.

Xu Mingze didn't send Zhou He the bill from the hospital until a week later, and Zhou He took the time to calculate the amount of money owed to Cheng Wei this time.

She didn't want to contact Cheng Wei directly, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't remember who to transfer the money to Cheng Wei. Recently, a teacher asked for leave at home and asked her to help substitute for teaching. As soon as I got busy, the matter was delayed.

After school that day, she cooked a packet of instant noodles and ate it and was correcting her homework, when Doctor Liu ran over out of breath and said, "Teacher Zhou, someone is looking for you." ”

Zhou He was inexplicable, she couldn't think of anyone looking for her, and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Doctor Liu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I drove the car." Go down and have a look. ”

Zhou He had to put down the pen and go outside the school.

It was still so far from the school gate that I saw a black car parked at the door. Zhou He walked out and saw Cheng Wei get out of the car.

Her face changed and her steps paused.

Cheng Wei glanced at her with a smile and said, "What, I'm not welcome?"

Zhou He didn't move, and asked lightly after a while, "What is Mr. Cheng doing here?"

Cheng Wei spat out a puff of smoke rings, his eyes fell straight on her, still looking like he was smiling and smiling, and said, "What do you say I'm here for?"

He was lazy and lazy, took a step forward as he spoke, and said, "I'm tired from driving all day, I've come so far here, I always have to entertain a meal, right?"

He looked around the campus and walked straight inside without waiting for Zhou He's hello.

Zhou He stood in place for a while, unwilling to attract attention, and followed him into the campus.

Cheng Wei was completely self-acquainted, and looked around quietly after entering Zhouhe's dormitory. Zhou He didn't see it, there was a lot of homework piled up and she had to change it for a few hours, she didn't cook, she took a bag and came out, and asked, "Is it okay to eat noodles?"

Although he asked if it was okay, his hand had quickly torn the noodles apart. Obviously, it was just a casual question, and he was not really asking for Cheng Wei's opinion.

The corners of Cheng Wei's mouth hooked slightly, but he was not picky, and said, "Okay." ”

Cooking instant noodles couldn't be easier or faster, and Zhou He didn't even add an egg.

Cheng Wei didn't seem to suggest it, so he picked up the noodles and ate them slowly.

Zhou He couldn't find anything to say at all, so he sat down and continued to correct his homework. I plan to show Cheng Wei the bill sent by Xu Mingze later. It's just right that he's here, and she doesn't have to rack her brains to think about who to ask to return the money to him.

Her heart had a plan, and she became more and more calm.

She didn't have a place for Cheng Wei to live here, and as soon as he finished eating his noodles, she took out her mobile phone, flipped out the bill, and said, "This is the cost of the hospital last time, take a look." ”

Cheng Wei didn't speak, he looked at her with a smile, took a cigarette and lit it.
