Chapter 35: I'm Not Worth That Much Money

She was preoccupied all the way, and it wasn't until she reached the gate of the courtyard that she took a deep breath, patted her frozen face, and pushed open the door of the courtyard.

Aunt Qi hadn't slept at this time, and today was not the weekend, so she was a little surprised to see her come back. I asked her how she had come back, and then asked her if she had eaten.

When she was at the hotel, she barely moved her chopsticks and couldn't eat. said that he had already eaten it, so that Aunt Qi didn't have to be busy.

Aunt Qi poured her a cup of hot water for her to drink to warm her body, then sat down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Although Zhou He covered it up well, she could still see at a glance that she had something on her mind.

Zhou He squeezed out a smile, snuggled up to Aunt Qi's shoulder, shook his head gently, and said, "No, I haven't been writing my paper well recently, and I'm a little tired." ”

She has always been independent and assertive, she didn't want to say that Aunt Qi was not reluctant, she reached out and gently stroked her hair, and said gently: "Don't worry, you have to take your time in everything." ”

Zhou He hummed lowly. sat with Aunt Qi for a while, sent her back to her room to sleep, and then went upstairs. Lying on the bed, she didn't feel sleepy, and the words that Dr. Jiang told her to prepare for surgery earlier came to her mind again and again.

Her fingers clenched little by little, no matter what, she couldn't let Aunt Qi have anything to do.

With a little decision in her heart, she gradually calmed down. Her body was a little stiff on the bed, and she didn't move.

Zhou He didn't close her eyes this night, and she had to go back to school early, and before it was bright outside, she got up lightly and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Aunt Qi.

Aunt Qi rarely slept deeply, but she didn't wake up. Zhou He originally wanted to greet her when he left, but he gently opened the door and heard her even breathing, but in the end he didn't wake her up and left lightly.

Zhou He went to find Cheng Wei in the evening, and she called him before she went over. Cheng Wei is not in the apartment, but outside. His tone was lazy, and he dropped an address for her and hung up.

It was rush hour, and there was a lot of traffic jam all the way. It was already past eight o'clock when Zhou He arrived at the ground.

Cheng Wei was in a bar when he was a child, although it was still early, the bar was already lively. Cheng Wei was in the private room upstairs, Zhou He looked for it according to the address, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in.

She had called in advance, and originally thought that Cheng Wei was the only one there. But no, the private room was very lively, with a group of people drinking and smoking. There was a miasma of smoke in the private room, and Zhou He looked at it for a while before he saw Cheng Wei sitting in the innermost.

She didn't expect it to be such a scene, neither advancing nor retreating. Someone among the people making trouble inside found her first, and she snorted and coaxed first: "Where did this little sister come from?

Zhou He ignored the man's coaxing, walked in, and called politely: "Mr. Cheng." ”

Cheng Wei's fingers were filled with smoke, and he hummed faintly. He didn't embarrass Zhou He, and drove out a group of coaxing sons, raised his chin at Zhou He, and said, "Sit." ”

He naturally knew what Zhou He was looking for him for, dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Zhou He was silent for a moment and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Cheng wants me to do?"

Cheng Wei glanced at her, the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling, and said, "What do you think you have worth my trouble?"

He obviously knew Zhou He's precautions, and his tone was a little disdainful and sarcastic. seems to be mocking Zhou He's unknowing.

Zhou He's face remained unchanged, and he said simply: "No." After a slight pause, she continued: "Mr. Cheng is willing to help, and I am grateful." It's just that that's a lot of money, and Mr. Cheng can't be allowed to spend so much. ”

This means that I hope Cheng Wei can clearly mark the price. Refuse to accept his help in vain.

The corners of Cheng Wei's mouth hooked up a little playfulness, leaned forward, spit the smoke in his mouth onto Zhou He's face, and said casually: "I want you, are you willing to give it?"

He was still serious yesterday, but today he has changed his face.

Fortunately, Zhou He was not surprised when he had already seen him turn his face faster, his body stiffened slightly, and said, "I'm not worth so much money." ”

Cheng Wei chuckled, sat back straight, glanced at her, and said, "You are quite self-aware." ”

Zhou He didn't say anything. He then said, "Continue to clean up the apartment and feed the cats, and you will pay back the rest slowly after you graduate and go to work." It's not like you won't be able to pay it off for a lifetime. ”

He wanted to laugh or not, and said slowly, "I don't like things that I owe anyone." It's like the last time you braved the snow to thank you. ”

This statement made Zhou He feel a lot more at ease, and she let go of the hand she had been clenching, and said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng." When I graduate and find a job, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible. ”

Cheng Wei was noncommittal, stood up and went outside. Mr. Cheng didn't like the title, and when he arrived at the door, he paused, glanced back at Zhou He, hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "Cheng Wei." ”

He didn't say anything, and went straight outside. I went to find the group of boys.

Zhou He let out a long sigh of relief, and stood for a moment before walking outside.

Before he walked downstairs, he saw Qi Jingran, who was wearing heavy makeup, walking over from the other end with a cigarette. She wore a bandeau skirt and a pair of long, thin heels on her feet.

Seeing Zhou He, her brows immediately furrowed, looked back, took two steps forward, and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhou He didn't expect to meet her here at all, and couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't tell her why she came, and said lightly, "It's a bit of a problem." ”

Qi Jingran's brows furrowed again.

Zhou He couldn't persuade her, and he didn't plan to persuade her again, so he nodded slightly and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, I heard Qi Jingran say behind me: "Don't come here again, I will find a way to pay for the operation." He has recently found a new investor and will soon have money. ”

That comeback has always been what Qi Jingran is looking forward to. Probably only this belief sustains her.

Zhou He didn't speak, and his back paused slightly and went downstairs.

When she got out of the bar and waited for the bus on the side of the road, she remembered Qi Jingran's words again. The one who has always thought he is a rich man, can't endure hardship, and has never wanted to be motivated. I just want to wait for the pie to fall from the sky. It's not easy to make a comeback.

Qi Jingran should never have thought that if that person really made a comeback, it might not be a good thing for her. At that time, there would be no more possibilities between them. Those who share in adversity are not necessarily those who share in wealth and wealth.

The lights of the bus swept over, and Zhou He came back to his senses and got on the bus.

The money for the operation was found, and the boulder that Zhou He had been pressing on his chest was removed. The rest is on Aunt Qi's side. Just look, how to open your mouth and talk to her.

Zhou He pondered all the way and almost missed the station. Fortunately, at the school terminal, the driver saw that she was sitting and did not move and reminded again, and she came back to her senses and quickly got off the bus.

Before Zhou He walked to the dormitory, he saw Xu Yuanning standing downstairs from a distance, as if waiting for someone. Her pace quickened, walked over, and asked, "Senior brother, who are you looking for?"

Xu Yuanning looked at her with a smile and said, "If you don't look for anyone, I'll wait for you." ”

Zhou He was a little puzzled, and said, "What are you waiting for me to do?" Senior Brother Qiu has a job over there?"

Xu Yuanning stretched out his hand and flicked it on her forehead, and said angrily: "I can't look for you if I don't have a job?"

Zhou He rubbed his forehead and said honestly: "Of course not." ”

Xu Yuanning's face showed a smile this time, and he sighed, "Why didn't you go to Professor Xu's last night?"

He's here for this.

Zhou He hurriedly said, "It's nothing, so I went home." ”

The smile on Xu Yuanning's face was put away, his face was slightly condensed, and he said, "Is Auntie uncomfortable?"

Zhou He shook his head and explained, "No, I can't rest assured, so I went back and took a look." ”

Xu Yuanning nodded, paused slightly, and said, "Remember to tell me something, you're welcome." ”

Zhou He smiled slightly and said yes.

Xu Yuanning was a little uncomfortable, scratched the back of his head, and said, "It's cold, go up, rest early." ”

Zhou He responded with a hello and said, "Senior brother, you should rest early." ”

Xu Yuanning nodded and said yes.

When Zhou He was about to walk to the door of the dormitory, he shouted again: "Little junior sister." ”

Zhou He turned his head, he hesitated slightly, and asked, "Auntie's surgery, have you ever thought about doing it as soon as possible?"

Zhou He didn't know why he asked about this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and said seriously: "Yes." If necessary, I will definitely tell my brother. ”

Xu Yuanning wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything. His signature smile appeared on his face, and he said hello. Waved at Zhou He and told her to hurry to rest.

Zhou He quickly went upstairs, but Xu Yuanning did not leave immediately. looked at the place where she stood and didn't move for a long time. A pair of eyes were unusually dark in the night. It took a long time for him to kick the pebbles on the ground and turn to leave.

Zhou He hadn't figured out how to talk to Aunt Qi about the operation, and she copied the medical records and sent them to Dr. Jia, but Dr. Jia still hadn't replied. She thought about waiting for a reply from the other side before talking to Aunt Qi.

Aunt Qi has always loved her, if she doesn't agree to her and grind hard, she will definitely agree.

There are a lot of things to do at the end of the semester, and Zhou He missed a lot of classes because of the extra time of part-time work. At this point, I had to hurry up and read a book, and even when I walked at any time, I took my textbook and memorized it.

After the exam, it's the New Year, and most people have to go home for the New Year. At noon that day, Zhou He had just found a place to sit down, and Xu Yuanning sat down opposite her with a sly smile.

Zhou He was horrified by his laughter, and said very consciously, "Senior brother, what do you need my help with?"

Xu Yuanning smiled and said, "It's not a big deal." It's just that the winter vacation is coming soon, and we have to go out for dinner in the dormitory. It's not interesting to go out to our dormitory, so they asked you to call your dormitory together. This task is very simple, junior sister, you will definitely be able to complete it, right?"

Eighty percent of them are roommates in their dormitory who want to chase Zhouhe's dormitory.

This task is indeed not difficult to complete, and everyone has a good impression of Xu Yuanning's roommates after going out to play last time.

Zhou He nodded and said, "I'll go back and tell everyone, I should go." She paused, picked up her chopsticks and began to eat, adding, "I'm only responsible for informing, so I'm not going." I'm going to have an exam coming up, and I have to read. ”

"This is the time to strengthen the friendship between alumni, how can you not go to the junior sisters? Just have a meal, and it won't waste much of your time. And we parted for dozens of days, junior sister, you will definitely miss us. Xu Yuanning smiled, and after speaking, the decision was settled, and said: "It's so decided, this meal is for your senior brother Qiu, who just made a windfall, don't eat it for nothing." ”

Zhou He was about to say something, but he had already stood up and waved his hand away.

The dinner was Saturday night, and Senior Brother Qiu made a big windfall and generously invited everyone to a very famous Cantonese restaurant. It was cold, and they didn't ride motorcycles anymore, so everyone took a taxi.

A group of people gathered together and was very lively, Zhou He was used to being alone and was not used to such a bustle, and sat with his nose and eyes and heart.

It's just the meal, and the business of the restaurant is very good. After ordering the food, Xu Yuanning asked the waiter to serve a few ready-made desserts to cushion everyone's stomach.

Because of the end of the term, everyone didn't make trouble. Tell funny things from school and make innocious jokes. Zhou He rarely spoke, just sat and listened.

The waiter was probably too busy to eat anything. Zhou He was very bored when he sat down, and when he heard someone complain about why he didn't have enough to eat, he consciously got up and urged.

As soon as she went out, Xu Yuanning also got up. When she walked outside, she found that he had come out, and she couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

Xu Yuanning smiled and said, "It's been very busy here, and I guess we have to wait." There is a snack street opposite, so I went to buy some food and came back. ”

He was quite thoughtful.

He couldn't carry so many people's things, so Zhou He said, "I'll go with you." ”

Xu Yuanning did not shirk, and responded with a smile.

This place was originally famous for eating, and there are indeed a lot of food outside, and there is a lot of food. It's not the first time Xu Yuanning has come here, he knows which one is delicious, and he is proficient in buying things. Zhou He just followed behind and carried it.

Before the things were packed, Xu Yuanning's mobile phone rang. Seeing that they were delayed in returning, a senior brother called to ask where they had gone.

Xu Yuanning said that he was buying food outside.

The senior brother on the other end of the phone didn't know what he said, he scolded and hung up the phone.

After packing, the two of them carried their things and walked back. The most important thing Xu Yuanning lacks is a topic, and he has never been cold all the way. When he passed the private room downstairs, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Zhou Hegang looked at him suspiciously, he put the things in his hand on the empty table on the side, and said, "Senior sister, wait for me a while, there is an elder inside, I'll go say hello." ”

Zhou He nodded in response and stopped.

The private room where Xu Yuanning went was not closed, and he could see the situation inside at a glance. Zhou He inadvertently swept his gaze, and his gaze fell on the person sitting in the first seat, and his whole body stiffened all of a sudden.

There was a large table of people inside, and it was very lively. After Xu Yuanning entered, all eyes fell on him. The man's gaze swept over as well.

Zhou He didn't wait for Xu Yuanning any longer, and left in a hurry with the things in his hand. Probably because she was in a hurry, a waiter thought she was in trouble, and asked her if she needed help when she passed by, she said in a low voice that she didn't need it, and walked quickly upstairs.

When she reached the staircase, she stopped and did not enter the private room again. I asked a passing waiter to deliver her things, and told her to leave in a hurry after taking a step in advance.

She walked very fast, and just got to the door when she bumped into someone. She didn't look up, she whispered sorry and walked outside.

As soon as he took a step, his arm was grabbed. Zhou He raised his head, and in front of him was Cheng Wei's handsome face. His brows furrowed slightly, motioned for a few people around him to go first, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou He didn't expect to bump into him, but she didn't have the heart to deal with him now, so she didn't break away from his arm and continued to walk out without saying a word in a dumb voice.

Cheng Wei's brows furrowed again, and he took out his mobile phone.

Zhou He walked in a hurry, and his pace slowed down until he was far away from the restaurant. There were fine snowflakes flying in the air, her eyes were a little hollow, and she gradually focused, and was about to discern the direction to the bus stop, when there was a horn next to her. She turned around, and Cheng Wei was sitting in the car, not knowing when he followed her.

Zhou He was inexplicably tired, paused in his footsteps, and walked towards the car.

She thought Cheng Wei was going to ask something, but he didn't ask anything, nor did he ask her where she was going, just drove the car.

Probably because I walked too quickly when I came out, I was blown by the cold wind, and under the warm heat in the car, my temples stabbed like pins and needles.

Her face turned pale again, and cold sweat was dripping from her forehead. She knew that it was a headache that she had not had this winter, so she stretched out her hand and pressed it vigorously, and said to Cheng Wei in front of her in a dumb voice: "If there is a pharmacy in front, please stop the car." ”

Cheng Wei had already noticed that something was wrong with her, looked out the car window, turned around from the fork in the road and drove to another road. This is the city center, and the pharmacy is not hard to find. He quickly stopped the car, and Zhou He knew that it was not the first time she had committed it, so he asked, "What kind of medicine do you want?"

He said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Zhou He broke out in a cold sweat in pain, and said a low word of painkillers.

Cheng Wei's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, and walked quickly to the pharmacy.

He came back quickly, and in a short time he came back with painkillers and a glass of warm water. Open the door and hand the pill to Zhou He first, and then give her the water cup.

Zhou He was in severe pain, swallowed the pill and drank a sip of water, then closed his eyes weakly and stopped moving.

Probably because she was afraid that she would be more uncomfortable when the car moved, Cheng Wei didn't drive again, just quietly in the car. The mobile phone that was thrown aside vibrated twice, and he didn't answer the phone, just hung up.

Zhou He's pain gradually eased after the medicine took effect, and at this moment the pain was like asking for half her life, and she fell asleep tiredly.

Cheng Wei didn't wake her up, and slowly drove the car back to the apartment.

Zhou He didn't sleep soundly, and she woke up when the car stopped in the parking lot. There was confusion in her eyes, and Cheng Wei didn't speak, just got out of the car and opened the door for her. She also didn't speak, and got out of the car in silence.

When she arrived at Cheng Wei's apartment, she seemed to come back to her senses and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Cheng Wei didn't speak, and walked directly to the bathroom. I went and put hot water in it, and then I came out, threw new toiletries for her, and said, "Go and take a bath." ”

Zhou He said thank you, took his things and walked to the bathroom.

She stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and she didn't come out until Cheng Wei was about to open the door. At this time, Cheng Wei didn't know how many cigarettes he smoked, and there was a smell of smoke in the living room.

Seeing her come out, Cheng Wei threw a dry towel to her. He handed her a glass of warm milk and said lightly, "Drink some to help you sleep." ”

Zhou He's body stiffened, whispered thank you, and took it.

Cheng Wei's apartment here is equipped with two bedrooms and one living room, one master bedroom and one study. Cheng Wei asked Zhou He to sleep in the bedroom, she felt that she was bothering him, and she refused to do anything this time, so he had to hug the quilt and let her settle on the sofa.

was so tired that she thought Zhou Hehui couldn't sleep, but she fell asleep not long after lying down. It's just that in the dream, the brows are also furrowed.

Cheng Wei was outside at first, and when she saw Zhou He asleep, she pulled the quilt for her, and then went back to the bedroom.

There were already several missed calls on his phone, so he walked to the window and took out a cigarette and lit it, and then dialed it back.

The phone was quickly connected, and the person on the other end of the phone called Mr. Cheng respectfully.

Cheng Wei took a slow puff of his cigarette, and then said lightly: "Say it." ”

When Zhou He woke up the next day, it was already dark outside, and she opened her eyes for a while before she remembered where she was. Her head was still aching, and the living room was quiet, and she sat down for a while before getting off the couch.

Cheng Wei should have gone out, there were simple sandwiches and a glass of milk on the table, and the word breakfast was simply written on the note pressed down from the cup.

He was not a little more comfortable in Zhouhe, the milk was still a little warm, she didn't heat it again, sat down at the table after washing and ate slowly.

She ate slowly, and the figure she had seen in the restaurant yesterday came to her mind again. Her movements stopped.

She sat in a daze for a long time, and then slowly ate the sandwich in her hand.

They will definitely ask if they left like that yesterday when they go back today, Zhou He did not leave immediately after eating, and sat for a long time before leaving.

Back in the dormitory, there was no one in the dormitory. All out. Zhou He didn't stay in the dormitory, he took the book and went to the library.

She didn't go back to her dorm that day, stayed in the library until the evening, and ate a little bit outside before going back.

Several roommates are in the dormitory, and the rare ones are all reading. Yesterday's incident, Zhou He originally thought they would ask, but they didn't. Even He Mi, who has always been very aggressive, didn't ask anything. Just said hello to her.
