Chapter 137: Dark
Zhou He didn't say anything and sat up straight. Warm places are more likely to breed drowsiness, so she simply got up and went outside to blow the wind and check the flowers and plants in the yard.
Qin Yang didn't sit for long this time, and left in less than two hours. It was still his driver who came to pick him up.
Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door and went upstairs, and slept in the dark.
Because of the cold medicine she took, she slept very deeply this night. When I woke up, it was already dark outside, and I was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
She stared at the light outside the window in a daze, and it took a long time before she got up and got out of bed. The body was sticky and uncomfortable, so she went to take a shower and change her clothes first, and then went downstairs to get food.
The stove downstairs had gone out, and it was cold in the living room. I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so Zhou He poured a cup of hot water and drank it first, cooked it first, and then lit a fire.
No sooner had the fire started than the doorbell rang outside. At this time, I didn't know who it was, Zhou He looked at the time, got up and went outside.
When she got closer, she realized that it was Li Peiyuan standing outside. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened the door and said, "Little uncle, why are you here?"
Li Peiyuan smiled slightly and said, "I came here on a business trip, and I happened to be on vacation, so I came to see you." ”
Zhou He hurriedly let him into the yard, and walked into the house in a hurry, while muttering that he wanted to come over without calling first, and now there was nothing at home.
Li Peiyuan just let him eat a little bit, saying that he would take half a month off this vacation. He's not going anywhere, he's just here.
The two were talking, and Zhou He asked him to bake the fire by the fire, while he went into the kitchen and got busy.
When she was busy in the kitchen, Li Peiyuan was on the phone outside, and he hung up the phone when the food was served.
The two didn't talk much during the meal, and when they finished eating, Zhou He packed up the dishes and chopsticks and made tea for Li Peiyuan, and then he asked, "What have you been doing these days?"
Zhou He didn't tell him that he hadn't gone to work anymore, but also sat down on the side and said, "I didn't do anything, I took some translation manuscripts, and I went to the library when I had time." ”
Li Peiyuan nodded, was silent for a while, and then asked, "You and Cheng Wei ......?"
He said no more at this point.
But when he asked, he apparently knew something.
Sooner or later, he would know about it, Zhou Ji didn't hide it, she wanted to squeeze out a smile, but she couldn't squeeze it out. lowered his head, was silent for a while, and finally reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Little uncle, I am not suitable for him." ”
Li Peiyuan took out a cigarette and lit it, but did not speak. After a while, he said, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Zhou He thought he would ask something, but he didn't expect him to ask anything. She was stunned when she heard him ask like that, and before she could speak, Li Peiyuan said again: "Do you want to go to K City for a vacation, the weather over there is still very good." It's not as rainy as it is here. ”
Zhou He's heart was moved, and his eyes moistened uncontrollably. She was afraid that Li Peiyuan would see her abnormality, so she buried her head low and said, "Little uncle, don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”
Her voice was urn-like.
She is stubborn and never sheds tears easily. She's like this, where is it okay.
Li Peiyuan extinguished the cigarette in his hand, stood up and walked to Zhou He's side and sat down, stretched out his hand to press her buried head to his chest, and said in a low voice: "Don't hold on, cry if you want to cry." ”
Zhou He wanted to say that it was okay, but the tears slipped down somehow. She has always been strong, her head moved away from Li Peiyuan's chest in a panic, and while she went to draw a tissue, she squeezed out a smile, and said angrily: "I'm really okay little uncle." It's just a little cold, and I'll be fine in a few days. ”
As she spoke, she took a tissue and wiped the tears she had just shed.
Li Peiyuan didn't say anything at this time, but just reached out and patted her back gently.
It took a long time for Zhou He's mood to calm down, and his eyes were red. She was a little uncomfortable, holding up the teacup and drinking tea to cover up.
Li Peiyuan didn't speak all the time, waiting for her emotions to completely calm down, and then said softly: "Don't think about anything, rest well." When the cold is cured, I'll take you out for a walk. ”
Zhou He squeezed out a smile and nodded.
Probably trying to distract her from thinking nonsense, after washing up later, Li Peiyuan found a movie and watched it with her.
His vacation was quite abrupt, and she didn't hear him say it when she went to Kyoto. Zhou He's heart was more or less worried, but he still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Little uncle, ...... you and your eldest uncle?"
Li Peiyuan's eyes were on TV, and when he heard her ask, he turned his head to look at her, patted her lightly on the head, and said, "Don't think nonsense, this is a normal vacation." I'm an adult and don't play runaway games. ”
Zhou He was relieved at this time.
He came over in the dust, and the two of them did not sit very late. At ten o'clock, Zhou He, after packing up his bed, went to rest.
Zhou He took cold medicine and then lay on the bed.
Her head was heavy, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
Li Peiyuan, who was also in the house, did not sleep, but stood in front of the window and smoked. A handsome face could not see its expression in the dark, let alone what it was thinking.
Because of the cold medicine, although he had slept during the day, Zhou He still slept much more deeply than usual. When I woke up the next day, it was already bright outside.
Her head was slightly lighter than yesterday, and she looked at the time, and saw that it was almost nine o'clock, and immediately got up from the bed.
She hurried downstairs, and the smell of food was already coming from the kitchen downstairs. Li Peiyuan had already made breakfast.
Zhou He was a little annoyed that he had overslept, and when he saw Li Peiyuan coming out with breakfast, he said, "I overslept after taking cold medicine, why didn't you call me, little uncle." ”
Li Peiyuan smiled slightly and said, "If you have a cold, you have to rest well." Anyone can make breakfast. ”
He boiled porridge in the morning and went out to buy steamed buns and came back. Seeing that Zhou He hadn't washed yet, he said, "Go wash up, we'll have breakfast soon." ”
Zhou He hurriedly went to wash up.
It's drizzling outside, so it's not a good place to go out. But the refrigerator at home is almost empty, and I have to go out to buy it. Zhou He was still snotty, and Li Peiyuan didn't let her go out, asking her to draw up the list, saying that he just went out to buy it.
At his insistence, Zhou He finally drew up an order and let him go out to purchase. Zhou He cleaned up the kitchen and living room.
After about an hour, the doorbell rang outside. She thought it was Li Peiyuan who came back, and quickly went out to open the door.
When I got outside, I found that it was not Li Peiyuan outside the door, but Lao Cao.
Lao Cao is still the same as usual, smiling. Seeing Zhou He, he said: "Miss Zhou, the market has sent a batch of seafood to the store, it looks very fresh, send some over for you to taste." ”
He looked like this, as if he didn't know that Zhou He and Cheng Wei had broken up.
Zhou He didn't pick it up, and asked Lao Cao to come into the house and sit down.
Lao Cao said that he would not sit down now, and there was still something to be done in the store. He had to go back to the store.
Zhou Ji didn't force it, was silent for a while, and said, "Uncle Cao, don't send it over again in the future." ”
Jiang was still old and spicy, and Lao Cao's complexion remained unchanged at all, and he said with a slight smile: "Ahe, don't think about it, I didn't send it because of Mr. Cheng." If you really want me to be an uncle, just take the things. I live here alone, and I don't have any people to interact with. This age is getting older, and headaches and brain fever are indispensable. I will definitely trouble you in the future. ”
He is no longer called Miss Zhou now, and his tone has changed to the tone between elders and juniors. But naturally, there is no stiffness.
He was like this, obviously he already knew that she and Cheng Wei had broken up. Even this rhetoric may have been thought of a long time ago. But Zhou He couldn't refuse.
She still took the things over and thanked Lao Cao.
She took the things, Lao Cao's eyes were about to smile, and let her go into the house, and the seafood was eaten early while it was fresh.
His car was parked on the sidelines, and he got into the car as he spoke.
Zhou He watched his car drive away, looked down at the box in his hand again, and then entered the house.
Lao Cao's car hadn't gone far when a car stopped at the door of the house. He slowed down and pulled over. I saw Li Peiyuan get out of the car, open the trunk of the taxi, and take out a few bags from it.
Lao Cao parked the car until Li Peiyuan carried his things into the house. That's when he started the car again.
There was a traffic jam outside in the rain, and it took almost an hour for Lao Cao to return to the store. He didn't care about the busyness of the store, and hurriedly went upstairs.
Upstairs was quiet, Cheng Wei sat at the window and smoked, looking out the window. There was a drizzle of rain falling on the table outside, and he didn't feel it.
Lao Cao subconsciously lightened his pace, and Cheng Wei had already turned around. Nodding at him.
Lao Cao knew what he was going to ask, and said, "Mr. Cheng, Miss Zhou doesn't look like much has changed. It's just that I might have a little cold. ”
He paused slightly, hesitated, and then said, "When I came back, I saw Mr. Li. He was supposed to have come back from a supermarket. With him, he will take care of Miss Zhou, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Cheng Wei spat out the smoke and didn't speak, only nodded after a while.
He came here to wait for Lao Cao to come back, and now he knew what he wanted to know, so he didn't stay long, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving." ”
As he spoke, he went downstairs, and Lao Cao wanted to ask something, so he had to swallow the words into his stomach and send him downstairs quickly.
When he arrived at the car, Cheng Wei's footsteps paused again. He reached out and pulled the door open before saying, "Let them keep an eye on it." ”
Lao Cao replied, he didn't speak again, got into the car, and quickly started the car and drove away.
Although Zhou He took medicine and the cold was easier, he never got better. Still having a runny nose and coughing. Li Peiyuan doesn't have to worry about anything else, even the meals are mostly cooked by him.
He rarely went out this time, and almost always accompanied Zhou He in the house. Although he is on vacation, he has a lot of phone calls, and there are always several calls every day. It's all about work.
These days, Cheng Wei has never called. Nor has it been contacted. Only one night when Zhou He was about to sleep, an unfamiliar number called once, but Zhou He didn't speak when he answered it. But I could faintly hear the sound of breathing.
She didn't speak again, was silent for a while, and hung up. A few days later, when she was about to go to bed, the phone rang again, and she didn't answer it again.
Because of his previous position here, Li Peiyuan had some entertainment after the fourth day of coming here. Although it was raining, Zhou He didn't stay in the house anymore and went to Shu Hua's side. By the way, I brought the toys and gifts I bought.
After a while, Shu Hua has adapted to his new life. She was busy in the store when she went, and the little one went to the kindergarten. Business in the store is not bad, please take care of the little one's aunt also follow the store and help greet customers.
Zhou He also helped greet the guests in the past, and when the guests left, Shu Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When people come, they are always together." ”
As she spoke, she poured tea for Zhou He.
Zhou He asked about the little guy.
Shu Hua said that it was all good, so let her not worry. The aunt is very conscientious, and it is not so difficult to have her with the little one. When I got home, I also had hot dishes and hot meals, which was very good.
Although she said so, the breakdown of a marriage can come out so quickly.
Zhou Ji didn't break it, just nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked Senior Brother Qiu if he had come to see the little guy.
Shu Hua said that when the old man and the old lady were there, he would come over every once in a while. Now the old man and the old lady have gone back to their hometown, probably because they are afraid that they will be disgusted by coming often, so he only comes over every weekend as agreed. But every night the little one will call him before bedtime.
Now that I mentioned it, Shu's tone was an understatement. As if it were inconsequential.
Later, when a customer came to order a large number of flower baskets and she was busy, Zhou Hecai heard from her aunt that Senior Brother Qiu would come downstairs almost every night some time ago, and he came while they were taking a walk and secretly watched them.
When the flower shop was busy, he also came over to ask for help, but Shu Hua didn't let him help. He also came to the door, but Shu Hua also did not let him in. I don't know what I talked to him about, but since then, he has come back again, all within the agreed time.
After the divorce, he didn't go to Miss Joe's again. The Miss Qiao had come to look for him after she had been discharged from the hospital, but he had not seen her. He left crying.
Zhou He listened, and there was no wave in his heart. When people make mistakes, they always hope to have a chance to regret them. But in this world, there is no regret medicine.
Li Peiyuan wanted to socialize, but Zhou He was not in a hurry to go home. In the evening, I invited the little guy Shu Hua out for dinner, and then went home.
When she and Li Peiyuan went out the next day, they met Qi Jingran by chance. She didn't seem to feel well, and her face was a little pale. It seems that she has just come out of the hospital, and the person who followed her has some medicine in their hands.
She was still in Yucheng.
Zhou He went up to say hello, and she asked the people who followed her to go back first. After greeting Zhou He, he politely greeted Li Peiyuan.
Li Peiyuan nodded slightly, found an excuse to leave, and gave the two of them space to be alone.
Qi Jingran was very familiar with this side, and took Zhou He into a café upstairs. Sitting down, Zhou He asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qi Jingran smiled faintly and said, "My stomach hurts, I'm sick." When it's cold, it's always a mistake. ”
These are the root causes of the illness left by the previous time when I was with Luo Kaiwen.
Zhou He nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "Have you checked it well?"
Qi Jingran smiled and said, "Why are you like an old mother? I just came out of the hospital today, and it's fine." Doctors tell you to eat regularly and not to eat irritating foods. ”
She finished ordering coffee.
Coffee hurts her stomach, where can she drink it with a stomachache. Zhou He directly ordered two cups of black tea.
Qi Jingran didn't object, and the two couldn't find anything to say for a while, so they sat quietly. After a while, the black tea came up, Qi Jingran took a sip before saying, "Do you know about Han Xin?"
Zhou He didn't know how she could mention Han Xinlai, and shook her head. She originally wanted to say that she and Cheng Wei had broken up, but before the words could be spoken, Qi Jingran said: "Her parents committed suicide in prison one after another, and I heard that she was stimulated. I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything......"
Zhou He was stunned and looked up at Qi Jingran.
Qi Jingran didn't expect her to know, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "Haven't you heard?"
Zhou He remembered the scene when she saw Han Xin in the hotel, she almost subconsciously didn't want to think about it, shook her head, and said no.
She was not willing to stay on this topic, and without waiting for Qi Jingran to say anything, she said: "I broke up with Cheng Wei. ”
Qi Jingran was stunned. She wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. He just nodded and hastily changed the subject.
She was not feeling well, and the two of them did not sit for long. After sending her to the car and leaving, Zhou He stood on the side of the road for a while, and then she took out her mobile phone to call Li Peiyuan and asked where he was.
Li Peiyuan was nearby, and it didn't take long for him to come over. But in the following time, Zhou He was a little distracted. On the way back to the house, she still asked, "Uncle, what happened to Miss Han...... You know what?"
She was not surprised when she asked Li Peiyuan, nodded and said, "I know." After a slight pause, he continued: "She is now being treated in the hospital, I went to see her once. ”
Han Xin's condition was good and bad, and she didn't recognize him when he passed. She stared at him for a long time before recognizing him. After chatting with him for a while, she somehow became manic again.
According to the doctor inside, she would often suddenly hold her head and scream. will also smash things and beat people, Cheng Wei can be appeased when he is there, Cheng Wei is not there for her and does not let people approach, often only medicine.
Zhou He nodded and didn't ask anything more. Li Peiyuan didn't say anything more.
On the way back, Zhou He kept looking at the side of the road, and she didn't come back to her senses until the car stopped at the gate of the yard. But she quickly picked herself up again. It wasn't until I lay in bed at night that I started to stay in bed again.
When I saw Han Xin in the corridor of the hotel that time, she didn't see anything. At that time, she didn't even look at her face.
She remembered the day when she and Yan Xu were waiting in the hotel on Hehuan Street, and Cheng Wei hurried over after coming out, probably because Han Xin was sick.
With something in her head going haywire, she closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about anything.
Zhou He's cold got better, and when Li Peiyuan's vacation time was only one week, she went to K City with him. The weather over there was very warm, and Yu Cheng was already wearing a thin cotton jacket, and he was still wearing short sleeves over there.
Booked a family hotel near the scenic spot, the hostess was very welcoming. On the first night they went, they made a local specialty roast lamb.
The meat is fresh, and the sheep just killed in the afternoon. The pre-processing is very good, and there is no smell at all when baked. Not only barbecue, but also other vegetables and things.
A large group of people sat around the courtyard, drinking the fruit wine made by the proprietress herself, and it was lively. They were not afraid to disturb the people, and the first few young male and female guests even sang songs.
Zhou He watched with a smile on the side. When everyone asked her to sing too, she coaxed Li Peiyuan to sing.
Li Peiyuan thought about it for a while and sang a song that had to be loved. His voice was low, slightly hoarse, and very tasteful. At first, the people were still noisy, but as he spoke, the surroundings fell silent. Quietly listen to him singing.
When he sings, he is a little different from usual, his head is slightly lowered, the lines of his side face are unusually soft in the firelight, and his voice is unusually gentle. When the singing was over, there was immediately applause all around.
Everyone coaxed him to do another song, but he said that his throat hurt and he didn't sing it again. After singing, he returned to his usual appearance. Quietly hidden.
Zhou He had never heard him sing, so he smiled and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect you to be a buried singer, little uncle." ”
Li Peiyuan picked up a can of beer and drank it, reached out and patted her head, and said with a slight smile: "It's not big or small." ”
Zhou He stuck out his tongue at this time.
Even though I took a plane and changed cars, I didn't feel tired when I sat there. Everyone made trouble late at night, and Zhou He and Li Peiyuan also sat late at night, and then they went back to their rooms.
Li Peiyuan's room was next door to Zhou He, and he gently patted her head in the corridor and said good night gently, asked her to close the doors and windows, and watched her enter the room, and then he also entered his own room.
