Chapter 172: Only You Can Make My Heart Cold
Zhou He got up early the next day and took a taxi to the airport without a driver. She didn't like the atmosphere of parting, so she left early without waiting for Li Ying to come from the hotel to see her off.
On the way to the airport, she really received a call from Li Ying. She babbled and complained about how she left earlier.
Probably because the relationship between the two is much closer this time, she has a lot more words than before.
Zhou He listened to her thoughts, and waited for her to stop before she said, "I'm going to the airport soon, you...... Take care of yourself. ”
Li Ying sighed on the other end of the phone, telling her to take care of her body and let her go to the ground to report her safety, and then hung up the phone.
Zhou He looked sideways at the scenery outside the window, sat in a daze for a long time, and then put away his mobile phone.
She had to relax a lot when she went back, and she slept on the plane for a short time, and didn't wake up until the plane was about to land.
After getting off the plane, she walked outside with the flow of people. As soon as he got outside, a middle-aged man in a suit greeted him.
The man was a stranger, and Zhou He had never seen it. She originally thought that he had recognized the wrong person, but the man said respectfully: "Miss Zhou, Mr. Cheng ordered me to send you back." ”
During this time, Cheng Wei did not appear, and Zhou He had forgotten that he and his people would appear like ghosts.
She didn't know how he knew she was back in City D today, but she didn't care. The footsteps did not stop, and said lightly: "I will not go back." ”
The man was stunned, and quickly followed her footsteps and said, "Then where are you going, I'll send you." ”
He was still respectful. Before Zhou He could answer his words, he saw Xu Mingze waving at her not far away. Although he told her to come back and call him, Zhou He did not call. He appeared here, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Li Ying's credit.
Zhou He originally planned to go back to school directly, but this time he obviously couldn't go, so he walked over with his bag on his back.
Cheng Wei's people didn't know if they had been told or what, so they stopped and didn't follow anymore.
Xu Mingze walked through the crowd and quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took Zhou He's backpack, and said with a smile: "Tired of getting up early, right?"
Zhou He's eyes swept back, and when he saw that Cheng Wei's figure was gone, he relaxed slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, I slept on the plane just now." ”
Xu Mingze nodded, looked at the time, and said, "Let's go eat first and then rest, okay?"
It's almost time for dinner.
Zhou He nodded, hesitated slightly, and said, "If you are busy, don't worry about me, I can ...... it myself."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Mingze, and he smiled and said, "I'm not busy, I just had a break after the night shift today." ”
Zhou He touched his nose and said nothing.
probably felt that Zhou He got up early and worked hard, and when he got into the car, Xu Mingze asked her to rest for a while, saying that he would call her when he got there.
Zhou He couldn't find a topic to talk about, nodded and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
The car drove for about 40 minutes before it stopped in front of a store. The shop is not very eye-catching, and when he got out of the car and walked inside, he introduced: "This is an old shop for more than ten years, and the soup made by the master in the store is a must." The porridge and the various side dishes I made by myself were very good. When I'm not cooking at home, I spend most of my time here. ”
He was already familiar with the waiter in the store, and the person who entered the door politely called Dr. Xu. Seeing that he brought his female companion, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "There is still the last private room empty today." ”
As he spoke, he was about to lead the way, while quietly looking at Zhou He.
Xu Mingze didn't know what he was thinking, and he was afraid that Zhou He would be uncomfortable, so he said: "Come to two of your soup today, you don't have to lead the way, I know which private room it is." ”
The waiter smiled and hurried to the back kitchen.
Xu Mingze was more or less embarrassed, there were steps in front of him, and he reminded Zhou He to pay attention to his feet.
The private room is in the last room upstairs, and when you open the window, you can see a small fish pond outside. There was a school of goldfish in it, swimming down an unknown plant.
Xu Mingze pulled out a chair for Zhou He, and he also sat down opposite.
The waiter came up quickly, and soon brought a teapot and a plate of pastries. said with a smile: "Master Tan said that there are many guests today, and he is a little busy, so he may be a little slow. This snack gave Dr. Xu and this beauty a cushion for their stomachs. ”
He moved neatly, and as he spoke, he took a cup and poured tea.
Zhou He thanked him politely, he smiled and said yes, let them sit for a while, and soon go down.
Xu Mingze was embarrassed by his enthusiasm, coughed, pushed the pastries in front of Zhou He, and said, "Try it, their pastries here are also good." However, it is not sold, only as a giveaway. ”
It was awkward to sit like that, Zhou He nodded, took a piece of pastry and ate it slowly.
The pastry is not sweet or greasy, melts in your mouth, and is indeed well done.
Xu Mingze stretched his brows when he saw her eating, and said with a smile: "If you like me, if my master has any extra ones later, pack one and take it back to make snacks." ”
Zhou Hesan chewed the pastry in his mouth and said, "No." ”
Xu Mingze didn't insist at this time, looked at the time, and said, "Let's eat some more, it should be served for a while." ”
The chef here does whatever he wants, and the ingredients are purchased on the same day after remembering the day, and he hardly offers a la carte, and he eats whatever he wants.
He was a regular visitor to their place, and he often had some small privileges when he came over, such as giving him something to eat, or giving him food first.
I haven't moved here today, so I'm probably very busy.
Zhou He nodded, seeing that he didn't move, he pushed the pastry towards him and said, "You can taste it too." ”
Xu Mingze said hello, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.
The two of them cooked it for about ten minutes before the food came up. The soup comes first, followed by the meat that is the main dish of the day, and finally the seasonal vegetables. There are both meat and vegetarian soups. In the end, a few small side dishes were served, and the master was obviously very good at matching.
The dishes here have a very homely taste, Zhou He originally had no appetite, so he ate a big bowl of rice with the side dishes of the next meal, and the side dishes sent were wiped out by her and Xu Mingze.
Zhou He was originally going to settle the bill, but when he went to the cashier, he was told that Xu Mingze was on the books and settled once a month. The cashier wouldn't take her money, so she had to give up.
When the two returned to the car, Xu Mingze looked at Zhou He and said, "Check that I have made an appointment at noon tomorrow, it is not convenient to stay in the hotel, I have already packed up the guest room, can I stay at my house?"
Last time, Xiao Abao lived in his house in Zhouhe, and now there are only two of them, which is obviously not appropriate.
Zhou He didn't expect him to make such an arrangement, and immediately said, "Don't bother, I'll just stay in a hotel." Already used to it, nothing inconvenient. ”
She is not as clean as Xu Mingze, and there is really nothing inconvenient.
It is much more convenient for her to stay in a hotel than to live in his house.
Xu Mingze naturally knew what she was thinking, and said, "It's all packed up, I'm not at home on duty tonight." Don't feel inconvenient. ”
He said so, and it was obviously not good for Zhou He to refuse again. She just nodded and said, "That's a bother." ”
Xu Mingze smiled and said, "You're welcome. ”
The place where he ate was just a street away from the community where he lived, and the car soon drove into the parking lot, and Xu Mingze took Zhou He upstairs.
He was probably afraid that Zhou He would be inconvenient, so after putting the things away, he told Zhou He that he was going out to buy something and let her rest for a while after washing.
He had all the toiletries ready.
Last time, he didn't have to say anything this time. I picked up the car keys at the entrance and went out quickly.
He was relieved that he was not in Zhouhe, she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, and then finished washing before Xu Mingze came back.
Xu Mingze didn't know what he bought, and he didn't come back for a while. Zhou He sat in the living room and couldn't find anything to do, so he went back to his room and lay down on the bed.
I slept late last night, got up early today, and although I slept on the plane for a while, I was still a little tired. She lay in bed for a short time before falling asleep.
When she woke up, it was already afternoon, and the room was quiet, without a sound.
Zhou He got up and went out to look only to find that Xu Mingze had already returned. Left a note for her, saying that he went to the hospital because there was something in the hospital, and there were fruits and drinks in the refrigerator, so she took it herself to eat and drink, you're welcome.
The fruit he bought looked still fresh, and he should have gone shopping when he went out just now.
Xu Mingze didn't come back all night, although he was busy, he didn't forget the Zhou He at home, and the dinner was a takeaway from the waiter in the restaurant who ate at noon. I also sent it with a snack that I ate at that time, which should have been freshly made.
Zhou He thanked the human, took a bowl from Xu Mingze's clean kitchen and vacated the food box that was delivered, and returned the food box to the person.
Xu Mingze did not come back that night, and did not return until the next morning. He came back early and brought breakfast for Zhou He. Although he was on night duty, he couldn't see any tiredness on his face.
Zhou He also woke up early, and got up when he heard a sound outside. Seeing that he was about to bring back the breakfast, he hurriedly said, "Doctor Xu, go wash up and make up for sleep, I'll just come by myself." You don't have to follow me to the hospital, I know everything well, just go by yourself. ”
Xu Mingze had already poured the soy milk into two bowls, and said with a smile: "I had an operation in the afternoon, and I didn't work the night shift at night." Too late to come back, I rested in the lounge. ”
The bed in the lounge was narrow, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it would be uncomfortable to fall asleep. He was too lazy to come back, because she would be uncomfortable, so she specially slept there and came back at dawn.
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and said: "Let's go wash up and have breakfast, the appointment time is noon, and it will be too late to go later." ”
He had apparently come back after washing up.
Zhou He nodded hurriedly and went to wash up quickly.
Thanks to Xu Mingze's relationship, the noon review was very smooth, and there was no major problem. Doctors still tell you not to eat irritating things as much as possible, and to eat regularly.
Zhou He didn't plan to stay here longer, and after checking it, he offered to buy a ticket and go back tomorrow.
Xu Mingze said that he didn't need to buy a ticket, it was troublesome to transfer, and he drove her back.
It was already enough to trouble him, Zhou He, where was he willing. Xu Mingze finally had to give up and went to the bus station to buy her a ticket for tomorrow.
In the afternoon, he took Zhou He to visit the newly built museum in D City, and the day before leaving Kyoto, he didn't mention the matter of letting Zhou He consider being his girlfriend, probably because he was afraid of forcing her to be anxious.
He didn't mention it, Zhou He was relieved, and he relaxed a lot.
Although Zhou He said that he didn't need to send it, Xu Mingze still sent her to the station the next day. And said that he would have a few days off after a while, and he would go to school to see her then. When the time comes to call her if she needs to bring anything and he says he will bring it to her.
Zhou He's okay.
Although I set off early, the transfer was delayed, and I arrived at the school at five o'clock. There is still more than half a month to go to school, and it stands to reason that there will be no one in the school.
But on the contrary, not only the principal is there in the school, but there is also a construction team working on it.
Zhou He was surprised, and after putting down his luggage and asking the principal, he learned that someone had donated money to the school to trim the cafeteria and renovate the dormitory of the classroom. The bathroom has been re-trimmed and installed with a water heater, so they no longer have to take it to the toilet in the winter.
The canteen will be repaired before the start of school, and the donors should have a great background, and the top attaches great importance to the children's lunch, and will allocate funds after the canteen is repaired, so that the children do not have to go home to eat at noon, and the school provides lunch for free. And if it is far away, children who want to live in the school can also live in the school, and beds and quilts and other things will be prepared. The student dormitory is built on the cafeteria. The smell of being open for a while can be lived in before winter comes.
The donor was very thoughtful, and also donated a uniform school uniform for winter to the school, all of which were thick cotton clothes and pants, and even cotton shoes were prepared. The principal had already reported the sizes of the children in the school two days ago.
This is simply a good thing that fell from the sky, if it weren't for the construction team already working, Zhou He couldn't believe it at all. Whether it is the cafeteria, dormitory, or winter clothes, it is a headache for the principal, and now it is so easy to solve.
Not to mention that Zhou He couldn't believe it, the principal also couldn't believe it when he received the call, and he was dizzy for several days, until the construction team came to him, he really believed that everything was true.
Seeing Zhou He standing stunned, he said with a smile: "We are really lucky to be shit this time, and the teacher will be transferred before the start of school, and we will no longer have to hold several positions by one person in the future." ”
The headmaster's joy could be felt from miles away.
Zhou He was a little sullen, looked at him, and said, "Don't you think this thing is weird?"
She's only been away for a month.
"Xiao Zhou, it's normal for you to think this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is strange. I also thought it was strange at the time, but later I asked my classmates who worked in the education system to find out that I heard that the sponsor of our school was a very rich person, who passed by us in the first half of the semester, and saw the hard work of the children and then came up with the idea of funding. Don't think about it, and believe that there will always be a majority of good people in this world. ”
The principal went to talk to the construction team with a smile, leaving Zhou He standing alone. I don't know why, she suddenly remembered Cheng Wei at this moment. Her instincts told her that it had something to do with him.
Although Li Peiyuan mentioned the matter of the school, if it was really him, he would definitely tell her in advance with his character.
Regardless, it's a good thing that someone is funding. In the future, the children will not have to work so hard. Zhou merge did not go to the tangle again.
The construction team moved very quickly, sometimes at night, and finished all the work before the start of the school year and withdrew from the campus.
When the new semester arrived, looking at the canteen and dormitory building that had risen on the ground during the summer vacation, a group of children were overjoyed and jumped up and down.
From the first day of school, there was an official cafeteria in the school. This also makes it easier for Zhou He, and there is no need to cook in the tight noon in the future.
And during this period of time, neither Cheng Wei nor Cheng Wei's people have ever appeared. On the contrary, Xu Mingze called Zhou He almost every day. Zhou He was busy during the day, and he called at night.
The topics between the two are very limited, and they often talk about each other's work. But Xu Mingze didn't seem to be bored.
Probably because of the daily phone calls, the relationship between the two is a lot closer, at least not as rusty as before.
As time passed, autumn arrived. But this autumn is not cool, but it is even hotter than summer. Zhou He was often sweaty after correcting his homework in the evening, and he had to take a shower to sleep.
She didn't use a fan in the summer, but in the autumn she couldn't stand the heat, so she went to the town on the weekend and bought a small electric fan. It's finally a lot cooler now.
Zhou He lived a very peaceful time during this time, and his daily affairs were the cafeteria, classrooms and dormitories. In the past, I had to cook and do a bunch of messy things after school, but now there is a cafeteria that has been solved, and the time is a lot free.
Zhou He met Cheng Wei half a month after the start of school, and when she came back from a home visit, she saw Cheng Wei at school. He was talking to Doctor Liu, and boxes of drinks were placed in the guard room. He must have brought it here.
When Doctor Liu saw her, he hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile that Cheng Wei came to look for her, and brought drinks to the students to cool off.
She likes Cheng Wei very much, seeing Zhou He's cold attitude and afraid of Cheng Wei's suggestion, she smiled and said with a smile that she would take Cheng Wei to rest first, he must be tired from driving all the way, so let Zhou He go to the canteen and let the master add two more dishes.
Cheng Wei was indeed a little tired, he was already sweating when he was standing outside in the hot weather, and he didn't shirk it, thanked Doctor Liu, and followed her to the dormitory.
Zhou Ji didn't go to the dormitory, but went to the cafeteria.
By the time it was time to eat, Cheng Wei had already washed up and was refreshed. Good-looking people are treated better wherever they go, and the master who has never chatted much in the canteen also chatted with Cheng Wei with great interest, and the two also drank wine, so they were just called brothers.
Zhou He didn't stay long, and went back to the dormitory after eating. After correcting today's homework, she went to wash up.
The lights on the cafeteria were still on, but Cheng Wei didn't know when he came back, and when Zhou He came out of washing, he saw him standing at the door of her dormitory.
Zhou He was puzzled about the sudden funding of the school, and after opening the door and entering the house, he asked lightly, "Why did you come here?"
Cheng Wei sat down on the small stool in the room, took a puff of cigarette, and said lazily: "It's hot." ”
Zhou He didn't know what this had to do with the hot weather. The place where he stays is air-conditioned, even if there is no air conditioning, as long as he speaks, some people are scrambling to fan him, when are you afraid of the heat?
Moreover, the weather is hot in Yucheng, Kyoto, and it is just as hot here. And the conditions here are not good, so it would be much better to go to other cities to escape the summer than to come here.
Before she could speak, Cheng Wei, who was sitting on the small stool, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, and said with a smile: "The air conditioner is useless, only by coming to you can I feel cold." ”
Zhou He: "......"
The topic stopped here, Zhou He originally wanted to ask him about the dormitory cafeteria, but he didn't bother to speak again.
However, this Uncle Cheng doesn't look like he is cold at all, he sits lazily and lazily smoking, and he doesn't mention going back to rest.
In the end, Zhou He couldn't help it and said, "I'm going to rest." ”
Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Sleep." It's hot in my room, stay here and go back. I'll close the door for you later. ”
When a person wants to sleep, he doesn't seem to find anything inconvenient.
Zhou He endured and endured, pointed to the rotating fan, and said, "I don't need to, just pull it out and blow it casually, and return it to me tomorrow." ”
originally thought that Cheng Wei should leave now, but who knew that he didn't even lift his eyelids, and said with a smile: "The air conditioner doesn't work, do you think this thing will work?"
What he said was quite meaningful, Zhou He knew that he did it on purpose, so he simply closed his mouth and stopped talking, and let him sit at the door, he couldn't sit all night.
She had already slept late, and it was just an excuse to say that she wanted to rest, so she didn't care about Cheng Wei anymore, sat down at the desk and took out her books to prepare for tomorrow's class.
Cheng Wei was quite able to sit still, and he also stopped talking, just sitting at the door smoking a cigarette, unable to see what he was thinking. It's just that from time to time, the bullet hand burns a piece of soot.
Zhou He concentrated on preparing for class, and when he finished today's work and looked back at the door, he found that Cheng Wei didn't know when he had left.
