Zhou He hesitated slightly, glanced in the direction of the hotel again, nodded anyway, said hello, and got into the car.

Li Peiyuan quickly started the car, and talked to Zhou He without a ride. After driving for a while, Zhou He remembered that he didn't go in to see Miss Han just now, and he was slightly worried for a while.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, if you really don't plan to marry Miss Han, make it clear to your uncle as soon as possible." ”

He obviously has no feelings for Miss Han. A reluctant marriage will not be happy, just like her parents. Make it clear earlier, if it really drags on for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be up to him.

Li Peiyuan didn't expect her to talk about this topic, and was slightly stunned. Then he said lightly: "I'll deal with this, don't worry." ”

He said it simply, Zhou He nodded, and still didn't say anything in the end.

However, Li Peiyuan's lips showed a slight smile, and he took out a box from the side and handed it to her.

Zhou He was puzzled, Li Peiyuan smiled slightly, and said, "Open it and take a look?"

Zhou He thought there was some kind of gift inside, and when he opened it, he found that there was a bunch of keys inside. She was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The house I just bought, it's not convenient for you to go to Xiao Xu's side, if you go back late in the future, you can go and live directly." The house is a second-hand house, I didn't redecorate, I only had people clean it. ”

Zhou He held it in his hand like a hot potato, where can he go next, he directly put the key aside and said, "Thank you, uncle, I don't need it." ”

Li Peiyuan stretched out his hand and patted her head, and said, "I'm your little uncle, don't be polite to me." Take the key with it, I live in the dormitory of the unit most of the time, and I probably won't live there until I get married. Every now and then, you come to live in the house, just looking after the house for me. Won't you help me?"

Zhou He knew that he was changing the way to let himself go over to live, but he still picked up the key.

Li Peiyuan didn't give her a chance to regret it, and said: "The food in the unit is all in the kitchen, I buy some vegetables and put them over, when will Ah He show me his hand?"

He was out alone, and his food was obviously not as elaborate as it was in Kyoto.

Zhou He thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a rest on the weekend?"

Li Peiyuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I should be free on Friday night." On Saturday and Sunday, I have to go out of town. ”

"I'll do it for you that Friday. Don't buy the food, I'll buy it when the time comes. She said, "What do you like to eat?"

Li Peiyuan smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a picky eater, I eat everything." ”

Zhou He sighed and said, "That's okay." I'll cook you local food when the time comes. ”

Li Peiyuan should be fine, thought about it for a while, and said: "You can fry a little meatballs, I haven't eaten them for a long time." I remember you loved it when you were a kid too. ”

Yes, she loved croquettes a lot. Eat it as a snack. Every time I go to my grandmother's house, my aunt at home will do it.

Zhou He nodded, and said honestly: "I don't know if I can make the taste that my aunt used to make." ”

Subconsciously isolated everything before, she hadn't eaten or done it herself for so many years.

"It's just a taste of something different. Li Peiyuan said with a smile.

The two went downstairs to Xu Yuanning's apartment while talking, and Li Peiyuan helped him upstairs. Zhou He took out the key to open the door.

Zhou He had to go home, and helped Xu Yuanning to lie on the bed, she poured him a glass of water and put it at the head of the bed, and then turned off the light and came out.

There was not enough to eat at the banquet, and when Li Peiyuan sent Zhou He back, he probably remembered that she took him to the snack street that time, and stopped the car halfway to buy her a lot of snacks for supper.

It was already late, and this time Li Peiyuan sent Zhou He to the door of the house. He seemed to have something to say all the way, but Zhou He didn't say anything when he asked. Let her rest early, watch the lights in the yard leave, and then he left.

Recently, Aunt Qi's sleep has been very light, and when she heard Zhou He enter the house, she put on her clothes and got up.

Zhou He changed his shoes and said as he walked inside: "It's cold, why did you get up?"

Aunt Qi smiled slightly and said, "I just got up thirsty to drink water." ”

The room was rented out, and for fear of disturbing the guests, Zhou He poured water for her, then entered her room and closed the door gently. Only then did he say: "It's cold, don't get up in the future." ”

Aunt Qi agreed. After thinking about it, he asked, "Ah He, do you remember her nephew who used to come to Aunt Du's house to play?"

He used to be very naughty, and Qi Jingran had fought with him several times, how could Zhou He not remember. He nodded and said, "I remember." But I haven't seen him in a long time, is he here?"

Aunt Qi nodded and said, "Come here." He works here now, and I heard that he is still in a big company. He came to see me during the day today. I asked you if you were free on the weekend and let us have a meal together. ”

When I was a child, we played together, and it was normal for us to have a meal together. Zhou Ji didn't think much about it, and nodded in response. It was troublesome to eat outside, so she said that she would go grocery shopping when the time came.

Aunt Qi smiled and agreed, saying that it was not early, and urged her to go to bed quickly.

Zhou He responded and asked Aunt Qi to sleep quickly, so he went upstairs lightly.

Zhou He and several brothers and sisters went to Professor Xu's house on Wednesday, and Professor Xu was sick and had already taken a few classes off, so everyone made an appointment to see him.

It was obviously not the first time that several senior brothers and sisters had come to Professor Xu's place, and they took the opportunity to go to the supermarket with a lot of food, obviously planning to eat before leaving.

When I went, I called Professor Xu, and when I went upstairs, even the door was open at Professor Xu's house, and he lay on the bed and let everyone take care of himself.

He had a cold and didn't want to go to the hospital, so he dragged it off.

The senior brothers and sisters obviously understood Professor Xu's temper, so they first boiled the hot water when they entered the house, poured the water and sent the medicine to the room for Professor Xu to eat, and then went to the kitchen to get busy. Choose the dishes you choose, and make the soup you want to make the soup. Zhou He and another senior sister made dumplings for Professor Xu and put them in the refrigerator to make them easy for him to cook and eat when he was hungry.

The weather is cold, and it is troublesome for people to eat more stir-fried vegetables, so they simply cook hot pot. A senior brother also went to buy wine, and the small house was lively for a while, I don't know why, Zhou He suddenly remembered the cold appearance when Cheng Wei came over.

The commotion didn't dissipate until more than ten o'clock, and several senior brothers were in good spirits and wanted to sing. Zhou He didn't follow him on the grounds that he had something.

It was still early on Friday afternoon, and Li Peiyuan came over to pick up Zhou He. Although Zhou He asked him not to buy vegetables, she went to buy them, but he still bought a lot. When he passed by the supermarket, he stopped again and asked Zhou He if he had anything else to buy.

The two of them couldn't eat much, so Zhou He said no need to do it.

Li Peiyuan's house is only five minutes away from the school, it is a new community, there are not many people, and the environment is quiet.

His house is a small three-bedroom apartment, although it was renovated before, the owner has not lived in it much, and it still looks very new. Although the decoration in the room is the same as before, the furniture in it has been changed. I reserved a room for Zhou He, and the furniture in it was similar to when she was in Kyoto. Apparently prepared for a long time.

Zhou He's heart was mixed for a while, and his heart suddenly felt a little heavy.

The meal was not sumptuous, Zhou He sat down and fried meatballs, made sweet and sour pork ribs, and fried a small cabbage and seaweed egg drop soup.

After eating, Li Peiyuan took her to see the study. There were a lot of books in his study, many of which he couldn't borrow from the library. He asked Zhou He to come over and watch when he was fine.

He is now in politics, probably because he is afraid of Zhou He's doubts, and takes the initiative to explain: "I sometimes read some books in my spare time, and I hoarded more books when I was abroad, but unfortunately I didn't bring many with me when I came back." ”

Zhou He nodded at this time.

The next day, Aunt Du's nephew Du Lin was going to the house, and Zhou He went back early. I drew up a menu with Aunt Qi early for the next day.

After all, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and Aunt Qi thinks it should be more solemn, so she plans a large table of dishes. originally thought that Du Lin would come until dinner. Who knew that when Zhou He came back from grocery shopping, he heard a voice talking in the house. When she entered the house, she saw a young man sitting on the sofa talking to Aunt Qi.

Du Lin hasn't changed much, but he's thinner than before. Seeing Zhou He, he stood up, took her hand full of things for her, and said with a smile: "Do you remember me?"

I haven't seen him for so many years, and he doesn't seem to feel a little strange.

Zhou He was a little uncomfortable, nodded and said that he remembered, and said a few words of simple greeting.

She was going to carry her things to the kitchen to start cooking, but as soon as she put down her things, Aunt Qi came in and said with a smile: "I'll just get it, you go out to talk to Xiaolin." ”

You can't let Du Lin stay outside alone, before Zhou He went out, Du Lin came over. Ask if there's anything you can help with.

He is a guest, where can Aunt Qi let him do things. But he picked up the celery himself. said that at home, I often help my mother choose vegetables.

The smile on Aunt Qi's face was even stronger, praising him for his filial piety. There are really not many children who are as sensible as him now.

It wasn't until he sat down to eat that Zhou He realized that something was wrong with the meal. Most of Aunt Qi's topics are on her, and she takes her in three sentences and two sentences.

Du Lin looked at her from time to time with a smile on his face. Occasionally talk about the troubles of childhood.

Aunt Du should have told him about Qi Jingran, and he never asked about Qi Jingran.

After eating, Du Lin did not continue to stay, and said goodbye in due course. Before leaving, he asked for Zhou He's phone, saying that he still had something to do today. Let Zhou and be sure to contact more.

Zhou He nodded and smiled in response, and waited until he left, then turned back to the house.

Aunt Qi had already started to clean up the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Although Du Lin, this kid is naughty, he has always been quite down-to-earth. He had only been in Yucheng for a long time, and he had heard that he would be promoted after the New Year. ”

Although Aunt Qi said it vaguely, Zhou He didn't know what she meant. I had to hum and nod again and again pretending to be stupid.

Aunt Qi smiled slightly and said, "He doesn't have any friends here now, if you have time in the future, you can take him out to play and watch movies." Although he has been here before, Yucheng has changed a lot in the past few years. ”

Zhou He responded vaguely this time. She was a little puzzled in her heart, she still had more than a year to graduate, and she didn't know why Aunt Qi remembered such a play.

But fortunately, in the following time, Du Lin never called her. Zhou He couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Time passed quickly, and it was Christmas Eve in a flash. There is already a festive atmosphere in the school, and all kinds of richly packaged apples are sold early outside the school.

Zhou Yiyi spent the whole day in the library, and in the afternoon, just after leaving the library, a strange phone call came in.

She picked it up and just fed it. Du Lin on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "You're at school, right? I'm outside your school now, take me for a walk?"

He was very polite.

People have come from afar, and Zhou He naturally has to go out. I asked him for the exact location and hurriedly went out.

Du Lin took an apple wrapped in colored paper, and handed it over when he saw Zhou He.

Zhou He said thank you, looked around, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Du Lin shook his head with a smile and said, "I just came here to eat." ”

Zhou He was thinking about where to eat in his heart, and asked him what he wanted to eat.

Du Lin proposed to go to the city center, saying that he had heard from his colleagues that it was very lively, and he had not been there yet.

Zhou He originally planned to eat near the school, but he had to agree. Du Lin stepped forward and stopped the car with a very gentlemanly demeanor.

The city center is really lively, and it is still early in the morning, and many people have already gathered. Du Lin had already booked a place and took Zhou He to eat hot pot.

Zhou He was going to make it clear to him, but he never found a suitable opportunity. He's the same talkative as ever, and he's talking most of the time.

When he was finally able to interject, Zhou He said vaguely: "That...... It's Aunt Qi......"

Before her words came out, Du Lin laughed and said, "Okay, it's all the meaning of the elders." I never planned to go on a blind date with you, and you are a little girl like a sister in my eyes. ”

He's refreshed. Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of this, the smile on Du Lin's face was a little, and he said the purpose of coming here today, and asked: "I heard my aunt talk about your sister some time ago, and I have been very busy when I came here some time ago, and now I have found time to come and ask you." We grew up together, so if there's anything you need my help with, just say it. ”

Qi Jingran is like this, if he can hide, others will hide. He even asked himself to help.

Zhou He was slightly stunned. Du Lin picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank a glass of wine, and then said: "I have heard a lot from my aunt, and if I want to see that man, I will beat him hard." ”

Zhou He fell silent and did not speak. Du Lin did know a lot, and sighed as he spoke. said that Qi Jingran used to have a hearty and cheerful personality, but how did he change when he got older.

Feelings are the most uncertain and dangerous things.

probably knew Zhou He's embarrassment, so he finally pushed over an envelope and asked Zhou He to keep it and buy some supplements for Aunt Qi.

The envelope was thick, and Zhou Ji didn't expect him to give him money. Startled, he asked him to put it away, saying that it was not difficult now. Be sure to ask him if you need to do so in the future.

She was resolute, and after refusing a few times, Du Lin put the money away and asked her not to be polite.

In the following time, Du Lin talked about his childhood from time to time. He has a good memory, and he still remembers big and small things.

No matter how difficult it is, it seems that life as a child is worry-free. Zhou He listened, and the expression on his face gradually softened.

It was already past nine o'clock when the two finished eating, Du Lin originally wanted to take Zhou He to the square below, but Zhou He's scalp was numb when he saw the crowded people and refused. He didn't insist and took a taxi to take her home.

As the two waited on the side of the road, flakes of snow fell from the sky, the first snow of the year, and a piercing scream erupted from the square.

Although last year's heavy snow made many people suffer, everyone was happy to see the snow. Zhou He also stretched out his hand to pick it up.

When it snowed, the car was even more difficult to fight, and the road was jammed all the time, and it took the two of them a long time to stop a taxi.

The driver of the car was an uncle, and he complained about the weather when he started the car. The weather cooled down, and going to work in the morning and leaving work in the middle of the night was torturous.

Du Lin can talk to anyone, and he accompanies the driver to talk about it all over the world. Zhou He listened for a while and looked sideways out the window. Snowflakes fell on the windows of the car and melted into water in the blink of an eye.

There was a traffic jam outside, and she was watching in a daze, when the driver in front of her suddenly braked. With a thud, her head slammed into the seat in front of her. She was completely unprepared, and for a while her eyes were full of gold stars. After reacting, I realized that the car was rear-ended.

The driver in front of him was obviously frightened, so he immediately opened the door and got out of the car, and went to question the driver who suddenly stopped the car in front of him.

Du Lin slowed down before Zhou He, and turned around to ask her how she was. Zhou He covered his forehead and said that it was okay, and he also got out of the car to see the situation of the car.

It wasn't just their car that was rear-ended, but the two cars in front of them. It was caused by the second car, and it was a novice female driver who was in a hurry to answer the phone, and accidentally hit the big bus in front of her. For a moment, the whole road was blocked.

It is estimated that he will not be able to walk for a while, Zhou He waited for the pain in his forehead to ease a little, and then he also got out of the car to see the situation in front of him.

The female driver in front of her didn't understand anything, and was asking on the phone. The driver of Daben was annoyed and said something on the side.

Zhou He walked over, and only after a few steps, he saw a familiar figure come out of the car. It is Cheng Wei, who has not been seen for a long time.

He was wearing a black coat, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on his coat. He was probably busy, raised his wrist to look at the time, and frowned slightly. I turned around and said something to the driver.

I don't know if he noticed Zhou He's gaze or what, he raised his head and swept towards this side casually. I don't know if he saw her, but he quickly withdrew his gaze. Slightly lowered her head and said something to the panicked and overwhelmed female car owner.

Not knowing what to say, he quickly got into the car. The driver also quickly followed and got into the car and started the car. The black Daben disappeared at the intersection.

He left, and the rest of the drivers quickly negotiated to start the car.

Zhou He also quickly came back to his senses and got into the car before the driver and Du Lin came back.

The taxi driver complained to Du Lin all the way about the delay and waste of time in repairing the car, while Zhou He looked out the window in a daze. I don't know when Cheng Wei came back.

She quickly came to her senses, but Du Lin still noticed her strangeness. The car stopped at the school gate and asked with concern, "Were you scared just now?"

Zhou He shook his head, squeezed out a smile and said no. There was a swollen bag on her forehead, and Du Lin wanted to buy her ointment to apply it, but she didn't let it, saying that it would be good to use a hot towel to apply it when she went back.

I had to block the car for a long time to go back here, so Zhou He waited on the side of the road for Du Lin to stop the car again and leave, and then walked to the school.

The school was lively tonight, with large groups of people gathered together and singing songs that were out of tune. Zhou He walked alone, and his figure was even more lonely.

Back in the dormitory, He Mi and the others were not there. Zhou He went to wash up, and then lay down on the bed.

She originally wanted to go to bed early, but she didn't know why, and she didn't fall asleep for a long time after lying down. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.

He Mi and the others didn't come back until almost twelve o'clock, and Zhou He was a little sleepy, but now he was woken up again. My brain swelled and hurt.

He Mi came back with supper, and tossed until it was almost a little quieter. Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief, got up and swallowed a piece of painkiller, and then lay down.

Zhou Hedi met Cheng Wei in the school, she and He Mi went to Professor Xu's office to get information, and met him and Ren Yurong talking in the corridor.

He Mi has always been unable to walk when she sees a handsome guy, so she immediately stepped forward to greet Ren Yurong respectfully.

The two of them are together, and she has passed Zhou He, so she can't help but pass, so she has to follow along.

Ren Yurong's eyes fell on Zhou He, and it was not convenient to say something. In the end, he just nodded.

Cheng Wei also did not greet Zhou He, and only politely greeted Ren Yurong when he was introduced. It's like I don't know her at all. It's quite fitting.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and he doesn't seem to have changed. It looks pretty much the same as ever.

He Mi racked her brains to find a topic in order to see more handsome guys, but Cheng Wei didn't sell it at all. After standing for two minutes, he raised his wrist to look at the time, and then said goodbye to Ren Yurong.

The two of them had already talked about it, and after Ren Yurong briefly greeted him, he didn't even say hello to Zhou He Mi and left. The long figure quickly disappeared at the end of the hallway.
