Li Peiyuan's handsome face did not change in any way, and after a simple polite greeting, he asked Zhou He to go back to rest early.

He was drunk tonight and couldn't drive. Cheng Wei was even more thoughtful now, saying that he would send him back to his residence first.

Li Peiyuan politely thanked him and said that he still had something to go back to the unit.

Cheng Wei didn't insist, and watched Zhou He and Li Pei say goodbye from afar, and then opened the door of the passenger seat and let her get into the car.

The car soon disappeared into the night, but Li Peiyuan stood still and did not move. Probably because of the alcohol, he was in a trance. Suddenly, a long, long time ago, the quiet, little girl with big round eyes came to my mind.

After all, she has grown into a big girl.

He stood there for a long time, until a drunken guest staggered past him, scolding and swearing, and then he suddenly came to his senses.

The car was long gone, and he withdrew his gaze and walked across the road in the direction of the unit. The cool breeze of the night hung by, and the yellowed leaves on both sides fell from the top of his head. His back was a little lonely under the dim yellow streetlights.

The weather in late autumn was a little cold, Zhou He didn't know if he was cold in the bath or didn't cover the quilt at night, and when he got up in the morning, he actually had a runny nose and a little dizzy.

It's just a little cold, if she doesn't care about it normally, she still has to do what she should do. But because the date of engagement has been set, it is only half a month. The little things were infinitely magnified by Cheng Wei, she had obviously found medicine to take it, but he also called the doctor.

But as soon as I had a cold, the doctor came and said that it was no big deal, so let me take medicine on time and drink more hot water.

Although the doctor said that there was no big problem, but in recent years, the flu has been rampant, and Cheng Wei directly didn't let Zhou He go out again, went to buy books and came back, and let her read books at home honestly and quietly, don't go out and run around. And let the aunt look at her.

The engagement is imminent, and Zhou He is obviously quite calm, but with the arrival of time, he is inexplicably a little anxious. She wanted to find something to do by herself, but she was ordered to rest by Cheng Wei, so she had to read a book at home honestly.

The engagement is going to Kyoto, knowing that Cheng Wei is busy, Li Ying didn't urge the two of them to go over, saying that she would be ready for everything, and the two of them just need to go over when the time comes.

In fact, she had mentioned asking Zhou He to come over early to see if her arrangement was to her liking. Zhou He originally tried to be concise in this matter. But Li Ying is completely the opposite of her, and even pays great attention to small details. Zhou He was a little scared, so he found a few to hide in Yucheng. I plan to go over with him after Cheng Wei is done. In this way, even if he wants to discuss something in the past, he is there.

On this day, she was nestled on the sofa reading a book, when she heard the aunt who went out to buy vegetables seemed to be talking to someone and came into the yard together. She thought it was Cheng Wei who came back, but she didn't care. When the voice got closer and closer, and when she heard a female voice talking to her aunt outside, she was a little puzzled, and just about to sit up and go out to have a look, she saw her aunt push the door and walk in first.

As soon as the aunt saw Zhou He, she smiled and said, "Miss Zhou, Miss Shu has come to see you." ”

Shu Hua was following her, carrying some fruits and snacks in his hands.

She was very busy during this time, and Zhou He didn't expect her to come over. Hurriedly sat up and said, "Sister Shuhua, why are you here?"

Shu Hua smiled and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, there are many things to do during this time." She said and gave the things she brought to her aunt, then walked over and asked, "Auntie said you have a cold, are you better?"

Zhou He stuck out his tongue and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little runny." ”

But they all make a big fuss.

Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Shu Hua said seriously: "You still have to pay attention, if the medicine doesn't work, go to the hospital as soon as possible." The flu is terrible during this time, so remember to wear a mask when you go out. ”

There are many children in the little one's school who have caught a cold, and they are all viral and very contagious. I have been on leave and have not been able to attend school these days.

She was more serious than Cheng Wei, and Zhou He only nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking rice.

When she was engaged, Shu Hua couldn't go to Kyoto, so this time she came over to give gifts in advance. and asked her if the wedding date had been set and when she planned to set it.

Zhou He, the party who didn't know about these things, was honestly handled by Li Ying's side. Whether it's engagement or marriage, these cumbersome processes are a headache for her. If it weren't for Li Ying's insistence, she would have wanted to just get the certificate.

But she understands Li Ying's thoughts, she feels that she owes her a lot, and wants to take advantage of the engagement to bring her to the elders of the He family. Then the wedding ceremony will be solemn.

This move is also to tell Cheng Wei that she is not alone, and there are still them behind her.

Zhou He's life experience Shu Hua knew a little, it turned out that she was still very worried, but now she put her mind at ease, smiled and said, "That's fine." ”

As she spoke, she asked Zhou He to speak if he needed any help. In the past few days, the little one's grandparents have gone back to their hometown to go to the funeral, and she will be free when they come back.

Zhou He nodded and thanked her seriously.

Although he was busy, Shu Hua still stayed here, chattering with Zhou He about something that should be paid attention to, and left after lunch.

It was drizzling outside, and she didn't want to send it to Zhouhe. Zhou He picked up the umbrella and insisted on sending her to the alley to watch her get in the car, and then slowly walked back alone.

Although the drizzle was not heavy, it didn't take long for the ground to get wet. The alleys were wet. The leaves on both sides of the trees are gradually turning yellow, and occasionally the leaves fall and fall to the ground. Tell people that late autumn has arrived.

At this time, the alley was empty, and it was very quiet. Zhou He has been a little tired of staying at home for the past few days, and it is difficult to get out, so he is not in a hurry to go home, but to the café in the deep alley, hangs the umbrella aside, and then walks in.

Although she didn't come much, the boss still remembered her. While watering the flowers, he said, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

No, Zhou He doesn't have much time here. Not to mention it.

She has never been slow in doing this business, and she didn't ask Zhou He what she wanted to drink, she just asked her to wait for a while, saying that it was over immediately.

It's autumn, and the greenery in her shop is still lush, with no signs of yellow leaves. Several unknown flowers planted are blooming well, too.

Zhou He chatted with her while looking at the flowers and plants she had carefully taken care of. From time to time, ask her about the habits of various flowers.

The boss answered one by one, watered the last few pots of flowers, and went to wash his hands and make her coffee.

On a rainy day, there was only one customer in the store, and she gave her a small disc of cookies, chatting with each other.

Seeing that Zhou He was interested in the flowers and plants she planted, and took a photo with her mobile phone, she smiled and said: "I don't raise any rare varieties here, go from this alley, there is a house where many flowers are planted, there are many rare varieties, very beautiful, I can't compare at all, if you like it, you can go over and see." ”

Zhou He is now okay.

It had not rained when she left, she was idle, she was curious about the flower that the boss had said, and she went out and walked down the alley.

After walking a short distance, the air was faintly wafting with the smell of flowers. The scent wafted from the courtyard in front of it.

But Zhou He didn't step forward and stopped. Because she suddenly remembered that the courtyard not far away was the courtyard where Qin Yang used to live here. At that time, a lot of flowers and plants were planted in it, but I don't know who took over later.

She was originally quite curious at the moment, but now she completely lost interest. After standing on the side of the road for a while, I returned the way I came.

There was a lot of water in the small puddle on the ground, and when I was about to get home, someone came on a small battery bike on the other side. She stepped aside.

The man was wearing a raincoat when it was raining, and only half of his face could be faintly seen. Zhou He didn't pay attention at first, but when the car drove in front of her and saw the eyes under the raincoat, she inexplicably felt as if she had seen it somewhere.

It was drizzling in the sky again, and she didn't think much of it, and walked back to the house quickly.

Because he went to Qin Yang's house, Zhou He's mood was a little depressed. The whole afternoon was a joyful one. It will definitely not be a pleasant thing to mention Qin Yanglai, Cheng Wei came back from work to see her and asked her about it, but she just said that she was a little bored all the time staying at home, so she was not energetic.

Cheng Wei thought about it for a while, and said that he would take her to his company tomorrow.

Zhou Ji didn't want to move, and he didn't want him to be distracted to take care of her at work, so he said he wouldn't go. said that if it didn't rain tomorrow morning, he would go grocery shopping with his aunt.

The three of them don't eat much, and the aunt has a lot of free time, so almost all the dishes go to the vegetable market every day to buy fresh.

Cheng Wei responded now, reached out and patted her head gently, and said, "Be good, go to sleep." ”

Zhou He hummed and closed his eyes.

said she was sleeping, but she couldn't sleep at all. Closing his eyes, he somehow remembered that Qin Yang might not have died when he talked to Li Peiyuan about it.

I can't sleep next week. I couldn't help but roll over.

She used to fall asleep quickly after lying down, but Cheng Wei patted her gently and asked, "What, can't you sleep?"

Zhou He shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "What do you think Qin Yang ...... Is it really dead?"

Cheng Wei didn't expect her to mention Qin Yanglai, and couldn't help but be stunned. He had always been perceptive, and immediately asked, "Why did you suddenly mention this?"

Zhou He was slightly in a trance, came back to his senses, and said, "Didn't he live here before......? There are a lot of flowers planted in it now, and they are very well kept. So suddenly I remembered. ”

Cheng Wei didn't understand what she meant, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "I'll let someone check." ”

Regarding Qin Yang's death, he was suspicious, but the police saw the body, and he paid attention to it for a while, but there was no trace that Qin Yang was still alive, and finally withdrew the person without stopping.

He knew how dangerous Qin Yang's person was, although it was only Zhou He's intuition, and there was no direct evidence that he was still alive, he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

As he spoke, he asked Zhou He if he wanted to drink water, and went downstairs to pour water for Zhou He while getting up to make a phone call.

He had to call downstairs and came back after ten minutes. Zhou He naturally didn't fall asleep, and waited for him to come back.

Cheng Wei handed her the water and said softly: "I have already called Li Jing to check, sleep, don't worry, I am here." ”

Zhou He nodded, drank the water, and lay down on the bed again. I told Cheng Wei about the worries in her heart, she was not so depressed, and she fell asleep after a while.

Cheng Wei couldn't sleep, so she got up after she fell asleep and dialed Li Jing's phone. Naturally, he couldn't find anything in such a long time, and he didn't ask about the results of the investigation, but asked Li to call someone here.

He didn't dare to take it lightly.

Li actually responded yes and said: "Mr. Cheng, I asked people to check, and the courtyard you said had already changed hands the year before last. The man who bought the yard was told that he was a wealthy merchant from the south. ”

He groaned slightly, and then said, "I have asked people to check on the people who are in and out of the courtyard, and I should know tomorrow." ”

It's not that difficult for the yard to change hands and forge an identity, maybe it's just to hide people's eyes. Only those who have checked the people who have really entered and exited the courtyard can they be relieved.

Cheng Wei nodded, he was still not at ease, and said, "Take a look at all the nearby surveillance." ”

If Qin Yang is really alive and is here, he will always find clues.

Li was not as thoughtful as him, so he immediately responded yes and said that he would call it out immediately.

Cheng Wei snorted, didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone directly.

He did not immediately return to the house, but stood outside for a moment before returning to the room and lying gently on the bed.

Zhou He seemed to be aware of it, and his body moved. Cheng Wei reached out and hugged her, and she soon fell asleep again.

Li Jing's movements were very fast, and he found out the results in the morning. It is said that the monitoring has been called up and seen, and there is nothing wrong with it. The people who came in and out of the courtyard were also investigated, and it was a middle-aged wealthy businessman. However, I don't often live here, and only in the summer will my family come here for two months. Usually it's someone who asks for it.

I heard that the rich merchant's wife loved flowers and plants very much, so there were so many rare flowers and plants in the yard. The one who asked to take care of the yard was a gardener, who rarely went out, and spent most of his time taking care of the flowers and plants.

This didn't sound like anything was wrong, Cheng Wei was a little relieved, and told Zhou He what Li Jing said. But in the end, it was still not enough to reassure him thoroughly, and let Li actually check it carefully.

It's not that he's too cautious, it's that Qin Yang is too cunning.

Li actually replied yes, saying that he had arranged for someone to check the details of the rich businessman.

As for the gardener here, he has already asked people to investigate. It shouldn't be long before news is available.

He has always been at ease when he does things. He also knew that Qin Yangyu was not a good memory for Zhou He, and comforted her not to think nonsense, and to go out as little as possible recently. If you do have something to go out, be sure to have someone follow.

In any case, it's always right to be careful. Zhou Hecheng responded, Cheng Wei accompanied her to breakfast, saw that her nose was a little buzzing, knew that her cold was not well, and called again to ask the doctor to come and see.

He was originally going to wait for the doctor to come and see him before leaving, but he had a meeting to open in the morning, and he left in a hurry under Zhou He's urging. Tell Dr. Zhou He to call him after he comes.

The doctor next to him was relieved, but Zhou He's cold and medicine didn't show any good signs, so he was even more worried.

Zhou He, watching him drive away, returned to the house.

Today was another day of drizzle, and she didn't go out all day. The doctor came to see her, asked her about the latest symptoms, and then re-prescribed the medicine, and this time Zhou He felt that her nose was not so stuffy.

The aunt boiled her ginger soup again, and after she drank it, she brought her a quilt and asked her to cover herself in the quilt and sweat well.

This method was commonly used by Aunt Qi when she had a cold before, and Zhou He was very cooperative now, and drank a big bowl of ginger soup and covered it in the quilt.

Zhou He's head was originally groggy, and Zhou He fell asleep groggily after this trip. When I woke up, I was sweating all over, and my clothes were half wet.

After sweating, my body is much more relaxed, and my nose is not so stuffed. She went to put hot water in the shower and changed her clothes.

Zhou He's cold, after drinking ginger soup twice, except for the head is still a little heavy, the nose is not stuffed again. In the past few days, Li actually checked the rich merchant who bought the yard and the gardener who took care of the yard, but he didn't find out that they had any connection with Qin Yang.

The monitoring has also been adjusted for a long time, but no trace of Qin Yang has been found. It's Zhou He who thinks about it a lot.

Although he asked people to check the bottom line, he didn't know why, Zhou He still felt that something was wrong. But she had already checked it and she didn't think much about it. I never went to that side of the courtyard again.

By the time her cold had all healed, it was close to the date of her engagement. Although Li Ying let them go over temporarily, it was impossible for Cheng Wei to come over temporarily, so he booked a ticket a few days in advance.

He has always been sweet-mouthed, and immediately called Li Ying after booking a ticket. said a word of thanks, and coaxed Li Ying to the point that she couldn't close her mouth. Until he went to the Xie family's old mansion this time, he asked him to go to the He family's villa to have a meal together before going over.

As for Zhou Hemo, he is going to stay in the He family's villa.

Cheng Wei agreed with all her arrangements, and said a lot of things before hanging up the phone.

Cheng Wei's compliments have always been very clever, and they don't make people feel disgusted at all. He and Li Ying said more than Zhou He and Li Ying, if you don't know, you will probably think that Cheng Wei is Li Ying's child.

Zhou He hasn't been out for a long time, and he has never smelled good when he has a cold. This morning, I suddenly had an appetite, and some of them wanted to eat dumplings stuffed with autumn mackerel.

I haven't been out for a long time, but now that I think about it, I just feel like my saliva is about to flow out. I told my aunt with great interest that I planned to go to the vegetable market to buy stuffing.

The aunt also went out with her.

My aunt would come to the vegetable market almost every morning during this time, and she was already familiar with the vendors. Passing by someone else's stall, there is always someone to greet her.

Auntie is smiling, and she will buy some fresh vegetables when she sees them. When they arrived at the fish shop, the boss also knew the aunt, and with a smile on his face, he picked the fish for them and killed them.

The vegetables were almost bought, and the aunt didn't buy any more, and the two walked all the way back.

Walking out of the vegetable market, the aunt remembered that the soy sauce and vinegar at home were almost gone, and there was a supermarket not far away, so the two went to the supermarket again.

There are a lot of people in the supermarket who are promoting today.

Originally, I only bought soy sauce and vinegar, but now that I see a promotion, my aunt has a lot more to buy.

Zhou He then went to push the shopping cart and went to the supermarket with her.

After shopping around, she bought a lot of things unconsciously, and after picking out the last thing, the aunt said that she wanted to go to the bathroom, and asked Zhou He to wait for her at the cash register first.

Zhou He responded and pushed the cart to the cash register.

But as soon as she got around the shelves, a man wearing a cap and a mask approached her. Before she could react, the man pressed a cold object against her, lowered his voice and said, "Don't move, don't look back, you can do whatever I tell you to do." ”

The voice of the person behind him was a little hoarse, and he couldn't tell the age.

Zhou He's mind was already turning a thousand times in a short period of time, his body stiffened and did not move, and he said, "What do you want to do?"

Her mind was anxious, and she had a way to attract attention, but no one looked at her.

The man obviously sensed her thoughts, sneered, and said, "I advise you not to be careful, and follow me honestly." Isn't there anyone else with you? I'm sure you wouldn't want to see anything happen to her, would you?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou He knew that she was being targeted.

She tried to calm herself and asked, "What do you want?"

There was a sound of footsteps coming this way, and the man lowered the brim of his hat and said, "Whatever I want to do, go ahead and get out of the supermarket." ”

The thing in his hand was against Zhou He's back, as if he was holding her. The two of them looked a little like a couple, although there were people next to them, but no one saw anything unusual.

He used his aunt to threaten her, and Zhou He was a little jealous. His mind quickly thought of a way to get out, and he walked forward according to his instructions.

In just a few minutes away, Zhou He's every step was extremely difficult. Fine sweat broke out uncontrollably on his forehead.

When she finally arrived at the cash register, she saw the security guard standing aside, and her heart moved.
