Chapter Eighty-Four: Strange

Zhou He knew that his news was relatively accurate, so he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, thank you, senior brother.

Xu Yuanning tried hard to make the atmosphere more relaxed, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "Are you still used to coming back?"

Knowing that Li Ying had also returned with the child, he was a little worried.

Zhou He pretended to smile lightly and said, "It's all good." ”

Xu Yuanning nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you here during the summer vacation?"

"No, I'm going back. When my grandmother's condition was completely stabilized, I went back. Zhou He lowered his head and kicked the stones on the ground and said softly.

Xu Yuanning snorted, looked around, and asked Zhou He what he wanted to eat.

Zhou He said that he was not hungry and did not want to eat anything.

You can't sit here all the time, Xu Yuanning raised his wrist to look at the time, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You shouldn't have returned to the place where you lived before, right?"

He was referring to Zhou He's former home.

Zhou He shook his head, smiled faintly, and said, "No need, I'm too lazy to run." "Things are people, even if you go back, it will only add to the sadness.

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that she and Aunt Qi came over at the end of the year last year. Her heart instantly suppressed, she restrained herself from thinking about anything, and asked, "Didn't you say that it was going to be demolished?"

Xu Yuanning's face condensed slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he said: "I kept saying that I wanted to demolish it last year, and this year I ...... It seems that something has happened and it has been put on hold. ”

Zhou He looked up and saw his not too good face, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yuanning shook his head and said, "Not much." He still didn't hide it from Zhou He, paused slightly, and then said: "Kyoto may be about to change." ”

Zhou He was stunned.

Xu Yuanning then said, "Uncle Li is quite busy when he comes back this time?"

Before Zhou He could answer, he continued: "It's all because of those messy things. Tan Jia...... It seems to be involved. ”

He will mention it to Zhou He, and this Tan family can only be Tan Ziran's family.

These have nothing to do with Zhou He, and she doesn't pay attention to them. Just nodded.

Xu Yuanning obviously didn't plan to talk to her in detail, he was a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Zhou He solemnly and said, "Ah He, you should know." In most of these families, the way to strengthen relationships is through marriage. If anyone does come looking for you, you don't have to pay attention. ”

When cornered, he may hit Zhou He's body with his idea.

Zhou He didn't expect that this matter would involve him at all, and nodded, thank you Xu Yuanning for the reminder.

For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke. Xu Yuanning's mobile phone rang, it should have been from his home, and he quickly picked it up.

I don't know what was said, but he quickly said I know, and hung up.

Zhou He knew that he should have something, so he let him busy with him, and she went back by herself. Xu Yuanning insisted on sending her back, politely saying goodbye to the old lady, and then leaving.

Li Ying was very happy to see her and Xu Yuanning coming and going, with a smile on her face, praising Xu Yuanning for being sensible, saying that it was rare for Zhou He to come back, so she invited Xu Yuanning to come to the house for dinner in a few days. She cooks herself.

Zhou He didn't say anything, and the old lady didn't say anything to her. She was somewhat embarrassed and didn't say any more.

Zhou He originally thought that this matter would be over, but the next evening, the old lady called her to the front, saying that it was the birthday of the old lady of the Xu family, and sent an invitation to the family, asking her to go with her eldest aunt and Li Tian.

Zhou He knew the old lady's thoughts, her old man was planning for her future, and wanted to take the opportunity to let her show her face and let people remember her. Even though she never said it, she still wanted her to stay in Kyoto.

The old lady's face was full of kindness, and Zhou He couldn't say anything to refuse to make her uncomfortable. But he couldn't bear to lie to her, so he squatted down in front of her, held the old lady's hand, and said, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about me. I'm over there, and I'm doing really well. I love my life now, it's simple, peaceful. ”

Among the families, which one is not full of filth. Whether it's marriage or something else, there are very few people who can do it themselves.

The old lady was in a slight trance, raised her hand and patted her head gently, and said, "Okay, if we don't want to forget it." Her trance was only for a moment, and she quickly said: "You didn't go out to have fun here, this time you went to play." I've heard that their family has prepared a lot of programs that you young people like. Let your cousin take you, no one will notice. ”

Zhou He had no choice but to respond. The old lady then asked her aunt to take her to order a dress.

Custom-made clothes only use her measurements, and she doesn't have to go in person. I don't know if I think she is pitiful or if she wants to please the old lady, but her eldest aunt sent her a lot of new summer clothes according to her size.

Li Ying, who was her mother, was embarrassed, and she was going to take Zhou He out shopping the next day, but Zhou He refused.

Zhou He has always been very sensitive to human feelings, although he has only been here for a few days, he can also feel that this old mansion is not as peaceful and calm as it seems on the surface.

She had no intention of getting involved, she remained neutral, and was not close to anyone, planning to return to Yucheng after the old lady's condition stabilized in a few days.

The birthday party was held on the evening of the weekend, and the dress was made in the morning. It's according to the size, but it's also suitable. Li Tian praised her for being beautiful.

Probably because she was afraid that Zhou He would not be used to that kind of occasion, she asked her to follow her, and she would answer for her when others asked her.

Zhou Heying came down and thanked her.

When he arrived at the ground, Zhou He found that Xu Yuanning had also passed. His circle of contacts in Kyoto is large, and he is talking to a group of people.

Seeing that Zhou He was about to come over, Zhou He signaled him to busy him, and she followed Li Tian and went inside.

Li Tian also has her own social circle, and she can't guard her every inch. Zhou He asked her to go and say hello first, and she would sit in the corner and not go anywhere.

Li Tian quickly left. Zhou He sat in the corner for more than twenty minutes before Xu Yuanning was able to pull out. He didn't expect Zhou Hehui to come over, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come over?"

Zhou He smiled helplessly and said, "The old lady has to let me come over to play." He said that there are many programs that young people like here. ”

Xu Yuanning nodded and said, "There are a lot of things to play, I'll take you with me later." ”

Zhou He knew that following him was eye-catching, so he said, "Senior brother, don't worry about me, my cousin will be back in a while." I'm going to go back in a minute. ”

She didn't know anyone, and her identity was awkward, so she didn't feel comfortable staying here.

Xu Yuanning groaned slightly, and said, "I'm fine, I'll go over and say hello first, and I'll send you back in a while." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and got up to leave.

Li Tian didn't come back long and took Zhou He to get something to eat. The chef who is making desserts today was specially invited from France.

Zhou He ate a small piece of dessert, the dessert was a little greasy, she was about to get the juice, as soon as she raised her head, she saw Cheng Wei and a son standing not far away, talking about something. He looked around, his face nonchalant.

Zhou He's body stiffened, and he stood motionless. It's been more than two months since they last met, and he looks the same as before. It seems that the tormented period of staying together is just a fantasy dream imagined by Zhou He.

Cheng Wei didn't know if he saw her, and his eyes didn't sweep over. After talking to the boy for a while, a young girl came around.

He has always been popular with girls, and I don't know what to say, and the two girls laughed and trembled.

It turned out that he was doing well. Zhou He's eyes were so astringent, his feet seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move.

Li Tian saw her standing distractedly, and quickly walked over, followed her line of sight, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Zhou He's strength seemed to be drained, and it took a lot of effort to look away. She didn't want Li Tian to know, so she cheered up and turned around, shook her head, and said, "It's not much, suddenly a little uncomfortable." ”

Her face was not very good, Li Tian became worried, and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, I'll call the driver to come over, and we'll go back first." ”

Zhou Ji did not refuse, responded with a hello, and said thank you.

Li Tian quickly called, they left early, and they had to talk to Zhou He's eldest aunt. Li Tian asked her to sit now, and she went over to speak.

She said and hurried away. When Zhou He turned his head to look at the place where he saw Cheng Wei just now, he and those people didn't know when they left

She just sat there and didn't move. Until Li Tian came back, he still maintained the same posture.

After saying hello, the two left quickly, Li Tian asked Zhou He in a low voice if she wanted to go to the hospital, she shook her head and said no, saying that it would be fine to take a rest.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, Xu Yuanning walked over quickly. He should have seen Cheng Wei too, but he didn't mention it in front of Li Tian, but just asked, "Are you going back?"

Li Tian looked at Zhou He and said, "Ah He is not very comfortable. ”

Xu Yuanning raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "I drove the car, I'll send Ah He back." Sister Tiantian, you're going to be busy with you. ”

Li Tian hesitated for a moment.

Xu Yuanning smiled slightly and said, "Sister Tiantian, don't worry, I promise to send Ah He back with no less than a hair." ”

Having said that, Li Tian naturally couldn't help it. said: "Then trouble you." ”

Xu Yuanning said politely, said goodbye to her, and then took Zhou He outside.

He came over and was also sent by the driver, and on this occasion he had to drink, and the driver was waiting in the car all the time. Seeing Xu Yuanning come out so early, he hurriedly got out of the car, and just wanted to ask something, Xu Yuanning said, "Give me the key, you go back first." ”

The driver respectfully agreed, gave him the key, and stepped forward to open the car door. Xu Yuanning said no, let him go first, and then opened the car door and let Zhou He sit in.

Neither of them in the car spoke, and Zhou He kept looking sideways out the window. After driving for a while, Xu Yuanning pulled over, was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you want to drink something?"

There is a café just around the corner.

Zhou He shook his head and said no, squeezed out a smile again, and said, "I'm not thirsty." ”

Xu Yuanning didn't speak, and after a while, he asked, "Did you see Cheng Wei?"

Zhou He was not surprised at all by his question, nodded, still squeezed a smile, and said, "He looks fine, he should be fine." ”

Her voice was soft, and her face was so white that it made her heart ache.

Xu Yuanning wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't say a word. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you want to see him?"

On that occasion, even if Zhou He didn't say anything, he knew that the two of them didn't greet each other.

Zhou He's mind remembered the scene she had just seen, and her heart seemed to be tightly grabbed, so painful that she couldn't breathe. She closed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "No need. ”

If he was like that, he should have been fine a long time ago. But during all this time, he never called her.

Xu Yuanning's hand holding the steering wheel was clenched tightly, and Zhou He quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "Senior brother, I'm fine, send me back." ”

Xu Yuanning didn't speak, and after a while, he finally started the car.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the car was extremely depressing. Zhou He's eyes were so astringent, he just closed his eyes motionlessly. I'm afraid that as soon as I open my eyes, tears will fall uncontrollably.

Xu Yuanning kept looking at her sideways, and the car drove for a while and stopped again. took out a tissue and handed it to Zhou He, saying, "Don't bear it, cry if you want to." I'll go down for a moment. ”

He said without waiting for Zhou He to speak, then opened the car door and went down.

The light in the car under the street lamp was very dim, but Zhou He did not shed tears, and sat in the car blankly when he opened his eyes. She couldn't seem to hear the traffic and horns around her, and fell into a silent world.

When Xu Yuanning got into the car again, it was already half an hour later, and seeing Zhou He sitting sluggishly, he handed over the coffee he bought in his hand.

Zhou He quickly came back to his senses, took the coffee and said thank you, and then said in a low voice: "Go back, senior brother, I'm fine." ”

Her face was clean and there were no tear stains. Xu Yuanning nodded, responded with a good word, and started the car.

Zhou He looked very quiet, the car stopped at the door of the Li family's old house, Xu Yuanning was still not at ease, got out of the car to see her off, and said in a low voice: "Remember to call me if you have something." ”

Zhou He squeezed out a smile to thank him, and asked him to drive carefully on the way back, and then entered the yard.

There was a sound of the maid at home greeting her, and Xu Yuanning stood still and did not move. After a while, I got into the car and took out a cigarette from the side to light it.

The car was parked here to attract attention, and he started the car after smoking a cigarette. As soon as the car turned around, a car drove in. It's Li Peiyuan's car.

Xu Yuanning greeted him politely. After Li Peiyuan asked, he said that he would send Zhou He back, and said goodbye to him before driving away.

His car quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley, and Li Peiyuan stopped for a while before driving the car into the yard.

In the following time, Zhou He did not see Cheng Xun, nor did he contact her. The old lady's condition stabilized, and she offered to take her leave.

probably knew that she was not used to being here, and the old lady did not keep her, but only told her to come and see her often during holidays in the future.

Zhou Heying came down, and when she left, the old lady gave her another envelope and asked her to put it away. The old lady's eyes turned red, saying that this was the New Year's money that had been saved for her over the years, and she would be angry if she didn't accept her.

Zhou He had to put it away and let the old lady take good care of her body. She came back to see her after a break from winter break.

The old lady was delighted and told her to study hard and call her often. Zhou Yiyi agreed, and she sent her outside.

In addition to the old lady, He Xing, who was reluctant to leave, looked at Zhou He with blank eyes, and asked Zhou He when he would go abroad to play with him.

Zhou He didn't know how to answer this question, Li Peiyuan relieved her, saying that she had to go to school and would not be able to go over until later.

The little guy stretched out his hand to hook Zhou He, and asked her to promise that she would definitely come over to see her. Zhou He had to hook up with him now. The little one got tired of her for a while, and offered to take her to the airport.

This time, Li Ying stood up and said that she could meet again when she came back from winter vacation, so the little guy didn't make trouble.

Zhou He went to the airport by Li Peiyuan, there are still many things here, and he can't go back for the time being. Let Zhou He call him when he gets home.

Zhou Hehe responded.

She was tired, and the smile on her face fell when she got on the plane. She closed her eyes and leaned against it, her mind was empty, and she didn't even know what she was thinking.

She came back with only the change of clothes she had brought with her, and very little luggage. Walking out of the airport hall, she was about to look for a place to take the bus, and when she looked up, she saw Cheng Wei's car parked on the side of the road.

It turned out that he was on this flight just now.

Zhou Ji didn't call him, Cheng Wei didn't look back, and the car drove away quickly.

Zhou He stood there for a while and walked to the place where the bus was taken.

When she got back to the house, it was already dark outside, and she couldn't eat, so she took a beer and sat and drank in the room, looking up at the ceiling motionlessly.

It wasn't until he was slightly drunk that he collapsed on the bed.

She woke up early the next morning, and she knew she had to find something to do for herself, and she got up early to clean the house and yard. Cut off the branches of the flowers and plants that were not taken care of during the lesson.

It was time-consuming to sit up, and she was finishing the process of putting water out to flush the yard when the doorbell rang. I don't know who it is so early in the morning, she was a little puzzled, put down the hose and took off her gloves to open the door, only to find that it was Shu Hua standing outside.

She only came back last night, and she actually came here today. Zhou He was a little surprised, and asked, "Sister Shuhua, why are you here?"

Shu Hua smiled, handed her the lunch in his hand, and said: "When I passed by last night, I saw that the lights in the yard were on, and I knew that you had come back. ”

She was careful, and Zhou He took it and thanked her. Let her come in and sit for a while.

Shu Hua was also idle, and when he saw her cleaning the yard, he followed her to clean it.

Zhou He has been absent for a long time, and the empty yard has lost its popularity. After cleaning, Shu Hua said softly: "Ahe, rent out the yard." Rent a floor, choose a few tenants, and you won't be so empty when you come back. ”

Zhou He knew that she was doing it for her own good, so he was silent for a moment and said, "I want to think about it." ”

She didn't want the things in the yard to be touched.

Shu Hua didn't persuade her, seeing that her face was not very good, he was afraid that something would happen to her alone, so he said in a low voice: "Do you want to go to the flower shop with me?"

Zhou He knew her thoughts, squeezed out a smile, and said that she was going to the library later to almost get some materials. Can't go.

She has something to do, Shu Hua nodded, sat for a while and told Zhou He to remember to eat, and then left in a hurry to open the store.

After she left, Zhou He cheered up, cleaned up the house briefly, and went out. She said that she wanted to check the information, not to lie to Shu Hua.

There were a lot of people in the library during the summer vacation, so she found a place to sit down, and waited until the library closed, then packed up her things and left.

At the beginning of the day, she stood at the bus stop, and suddenly she didn't know where to go. The barbecue stand not far away emitted an enticing aroma, and she remembered that she had only eaten one meal that day.

Even though she had only eaten one meal, she didn't feel hungry. After standing for a while, a bus came and she got on the bus. She was in a daze all the way, until the bus stopped at the terminal, and she realized that she had taken the bus to the vicinity of Hehuan Street.

At the beginning of the bustle of Hehuan Street, you can also hear the deafening music in the bar across the street.

Zhou He didn't know how to get here, and stayed for a while before walking to the opposite road, ready to take the car back.

As soon as she passed, she saw Li actually walking out of a clubhouse not far away. He obviously saw it too, his brows furrowed, and he quickly walked over and said, "Mr. Cheng is not here, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his face a little impatient.

Zhou He knew that even if he said that he had done the wrong thing, he might not believe it. After a pause, he asked, "Is everything taken care of?"

Li Jing's face was still impatient, and he said, "It's not something you can manage. Go back, don't come back again. I said earlier that you and Mr. Cheng are not suitable, and even if you come over again, he will not be able to see you. ”

He was able to say this, he should have received some instructions from Cheng Wei. Zhou He's body stiffened, and he lowered his head and stood still.

Li Jing's sharp gaze fell on her, and he said coldly: "You should know that you and Mr. Cheng are not from the same world. Insisting on being together is not good for you. It's good for you to stop now. ”

He was impatient, and he raised his wrist to look at the time as he spoke.
