Zhou He walked over and wrung a towel for him. Cheng Wei didn't say anything at this time, and carried out a simple wash with the help of Zhou He.

It was almost ten o'clock when Zhou He helped him finish and left, and as soon as he left the ward, he saw Cheng Wei's people hurrying over with things. He had seen Zhou He, nodded slightly as a greeting, pushed open the door of the ward and entered.

Zhou He was busy on weekends and weekends, and when he arrived at school on Monday morning, he received a call from Xu Yuanning early. Before she could ask anything, Xu Yuanning said in a low voice on the other end of the phone: "I called home last night...... I heard that Uncle Xiao Li is coming. ”

Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned. She knew that she had never deliberately hidden her whereabouts, and that it would be easy for them to find them. But she didn't expect it to be so soon.

She quickly came back to her senses and said, "Okay, I know, thank you, senior brother." ”

She quickly hung up the phone and walked into the classroom as calmly as usual.

Li Peiyuan came earlier than Zhou He expected, and after class at noon, Zhou He was still packing up his books in the classroom, when he heard someone shouting outside: "Zhou He, someone is looking for you." ”

She walked out, and Li Peiyuan was standing outside in a formal suit, followed by the vice principal, who had rarely appeared. The students outside the classroom were almost gone, and he looked at her from afar, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he turned sideways and said something to the vice principal next to him. Something like a thank you.

The vice principal was polite to him, knowing that he had to leave space for him and Zhou He, and left quickly.

Waiting for the vice principal to walk away, he took two steps forward, pretended to smile easily, and said, "What, don't you know me?"

His voice was low and deep, as if he had never parted.

That night, I only saw it from a distance, and when I got closer, I realized that the corners of his eyes were wrinkled. It's no longer the teenager who took her around crazy.

Zhou Yiyi didn't even know what he was feeling in his heart, and called his uncle in a low voice.

Li Peiyuan smiled slightly, and when he saw some students looking at this side curiously, he said, "Don't you take me to visit your school?"

His facial features were deep and handsome, but all the students who passed by looked at him. This is clearly not the place to speak.

Zhou He quickly calmed down and said, "Uncle, have you eaten?" I'll take you to the cafeteria. ”

Li Peiyuan smiled slightly and said yes.

All the way to the cafeteria, Xu was separated for too long, and Zhou Yi couldn't find a topic to talk about, so he was silent.

Li Peiyuan didn't speak, and looked at the teaching buildings as if he really came to the campus to stroll.

At this time, the cafeteria was already crowded, knowing that Li Peiyuan might not be used to eating the food in the canteen, Zhou He took him to the downstairs where there were fewer people and ate a small stir-fry.

Although it is a small stir-fry, there are not many dishes to order. Zhou He pushed the menu in front of Li Peiyuan and said, "Look at what to eat." ”

Li Peiyuan still smiled slightly, pushed the menu back in front of her, and said, "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything." Don't be polite to me. ”

It looked like it was still many years ago. Zhou He's movements paused slightly, smiled and said hello, and ordered a few signature dishes from the canteen.

There are many people waiting for the food to be served for a long time, Zhou He can't find a suitable topic, and Li Peiyuan didn't speak. The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Li Peiyuan asked about various things at the school. Zhou Yiyi answered carefully. He nodded from time to time and said a word or two. The only thing I didn't ask was how Zhou He had been doing over the years.

This meal was extremely ordinary, and Li Peiyuan didn't eat much. Zhou He still had to go to class in the afternoon, so he didn't stay too long, and left after eating.

Knowing that he had come here on purpose, Zhou He sent him to the gate of the school, was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Uncle, where do you live?"

Li Peiyuan probably didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask, so he paused and said, "It's not far, just the hotel on the opposite street." ”

Zhou He then said, "I'll take you out for a walk in the evening." ”

Li Peiyuan smiled slightly, and said, "I'm leaving, go back quickly." ”

Zhou He responded with a good sentence. Li Peiyuan didn't leave, just stood outside the school, obviously to watch her go back. Zhou He hesitated slightly, nodded at him again, and then went back to school.

Li Peiyuan stood in place, watching her back disappear into the campus, and the smile on her face gradually fell. After standing there for a long time, the phone rang.

He took out his phone and fed it lightly. The person over there didn't know what to say, he said lightly I will come back myself, and then hung up the phone.

Zhou Yiyi was in a trance all afternoon, and did not go to Li Peiyuan's hotel immediately after class in the afternoon. I sat on the school boulevard for a long time before I passed.

She forgot to ask Li Peiyuan which room she stayed in at that time, and when she arrived at the hotel, she asked the front desk to call and waited in the hall.

Li Peiyuan came down quickly, coming down in less than five minutes. He decently took a booklet on local tourism strategies in the hotel and told Zhou He to go to the snack street here.

Although he changed into casual clothes, he was still out of place in the crowd. Zhou He hesitated, but nodded in the end and said yes.

The snack street is a little far from here, and Zhou He has to stop the car when he gets to the side of the road. Li Peiyuan stopped her and said casually: "Just take the bus." ”

At this time, it is the evening rush hour and the buses are crowded. Zhou He also let him say hello and went to the bus stop.

Li Peiyuan had probably never taken a bus before, and although his face had not changed when he saw the crowd of people cooking dumplings on the bus, fine sweat appeared on his forehead. Unable to find a place to grasp, he stood with great difficulty, but still tried his best to protect Zhou He. I wanted to separate her from the crowd.

Zhou He had long been accustomed to being able to find a place for himself to stabilize his body, and turned around and smiled at Li Peiyuan, who was trying to protect her.

She is thin and weak, and the baby fat on her face when she was a child has long been gone. If, if he hadn't investigated earlier, he might not have recognized her if he had met her in such a crowd. I can't even associate her with the little girl who is playing the guzheng or reciting poems and practicing calligraphy.

Li Peiyuan's heart hurt. Although he was standing with great difficulty, he still smiled at Zhou He.

The two squeezed five stops before getting off the bus, Li Peiyuan's shoes were trampled on several times, and the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, and he was already a little embarrassed.

The snack street was on the opposite street, and Zhou He walked over with him. At the corner of the street, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"

The streets are still crowded with people, and all kinds of shouts and shouts are endless. The whole street is filled with the smell of oil smoke and various spices.

Li Peiyuan probably wanted to work hard to integrate into such an occasion, smiled at Zhou He, and said, "You can eat anything." I don't know each other well, so you're in charge. ”

Zhou Hecheng responded well, and bought special snacks for Li Peiyuan all the way.

He was obviously not used to eating this kind of food, but his face did not show it, and he ate it slowly after Zhou He's handover. The two finally stopped at a casserole pot shop, and Zhou He asked Li Peiyuan to order two servings of sour soup and fat beef vermicelli pot. This is a great feature of this street. The tables and chairs in the shop are placed on the road to the entrance.

Just as someone was leaving, the two of them sat down at the greasy little table on the side of the road. Li Peiyuan looked around and said, "I'll go to the opposite side to buy a bottle of water." ”

As he spoke, he got up and headed to the small supermarket opposite. After talking to the proprietress outside, she quickly took two bottles of water and walked over. Unscrewed the cap and handed a bottle to Zhou He.

Under the dim yellow light, the night was lively and lively, and Li Pei suddenly felt in a trance.

It didn't take long for the waiter to send the sour soup fat beef vermicelli pot over, and Zhou He took out disposable chopsticks from the side, removed the burrs and handed them to Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan's appetite is obviously not as good as hers, the fans are very hot, and he has to blow several times before he dares to take a bite. Zhou He ate quickly, and ate half a bowl in a short time. She didn't lift her head, and after a few sips of the soup, she continued to eat. After eating the vermicelli in her casserole, Li Peiyuan's bowl barely moved.

Li Peiyuan pretended to smile lightly and said, "It's a little hot." ”

He buried his head and continued to eat.

He ate with great effort, and for a while the noodles in the casserole looked unchanged. Zhou Hezai watched silently, until the person behind the next table left, she said, "If you can't finish eating, don't eat." It's going to hurt your stomach. ”

Li Peiyuan's movements paused slightly, and before she could speak, she got up and went to pay.

When the two went back, it was already past nine o'clock, and they had eaten too much greasy things, and when Zhou He walked to the corner of the street, he bought a cup of freshly squeezed juice for Li Peiyuan in the store on the side of the road. She herself was still holding the bottle of water he bought.

This time he didn't take the bus again, and Zhou He stood at the intersection and began to stop the car. The two didn't speak for a while, Zhou He looked at his shadow on the ground, stood for a while, and then smiled faintly and said, "Go back, don't come again." After a slight pause, she raised a pair of dark eyes to look at Li Peiyuan, and continued: "You also saw it, I ...... It's no longer the original Ahe. ”

She and the previous Ahe are completely people from two worlds. Again, there's no going back.

She smiled pretending to be relaxed, her eyes calm, without any sadness or other emotions. It's as calm as someone who stays out of the way.

Li Peiyuan's throat was extremely dry, and he couldn't speak for a while. After a long pause, he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”

His expression was sad.

Zhou He didn't look at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Look, I'm doing well now." You don't have to worry, really. ”

Her tone was serious. Navigating between countless part-time jobs, she doesn't feel unfair.

Li Peiyuan's expression was even more sad, Zhou He paused slightly, and continued: "Maybe, you don't feel good. But I'm here, and the people who care about me also have a warm home. I am very happy. I don't want my life to be disrupted. ”

The look on her face was serene and serious.

Only then did Li Peiyuan know that she was letting him squeeze the bus and eat roadside stalls with her today, telling him silently that he and she were now people from two worlds.

Perhaps, he thought she was poor and pitiful. But she is as happy as she is.

Li Peiyuan closed his eyes gently. That little girl, in the tempering of the years, has already become an assertive, independent and strong girl.

There were all kinds of mixed feelings in his heart. Indeed, no one is qualified to disturb her life again.

After a long time, Li Peiyuan said sorry in a low voice.

Zhou He's expression was slightly dazed, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "You don't have to say I'm sorry. I'm doing well, really. After a slight pause, she smiled faintly and continued, "No one is sorry for me. ”

Li Peiyuan's chest seemed to be pressed with a thousand pounds of stones, and when he remembered the purpose of his trip, he still looked at Zhou He and said, "Ahe, although grandma doesn't remember many things, she has always missed you." Come back with me and quietly go back to see if she's okay? I promise, no one will reveal it. ”

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "In the past, I was powerless to protect you...... Now, I can do that. ”

Zhou He was in a slight trance and said in a low voice: "Little uncle, it has nothing to do with you." She smiled, looked up at the lights in the distance, and said, "Someone is destined to be superfluous from birth." Before, I resent and hated my birth......"

She said no more, "Thank you for putting so much effort into finding me." I miss my grandpa too, but you know, I can't leave now. ”

said that he couldn't leave, but in fact, he politely refused. Obviously, it is to break with the past. With grandpa and grandma, she is the same as before.

Zhou He's eyes were misty, but he still squeezed out a smile. A taxi came, she stopped the car, and said, "I have to go home, and I'm not on the way with you, so go back." ”

Li Peiyuan's lips moved, but he still didn't say anything, and got into the car.

The car quickly drove away, and Zhou He turned into a small black dot in the rearview mirror. Li Peiyuan closed his eyes and didn't move for a long time.

Zhou He stayed where he was for a moment before walking in the direction of the bus stop.

There's no bus home here, so you have to take two stops and then turn around. She saw a hospital car, stood for a while and got on the bus.

The rush hour has passed, and the radio is playing on the empty car. She closed her eyes and rested her head on the car. I don't know if Cheng Wei has eaten, but when she was downstairs in the hospital, she packed a light porridge and carried it upstairs.

The nurse was surprised to see her come so late, her eyes fell on the porridge she was carrying, and said, "Mr. Cheng has been discharged from the hospital this morning, don't you know?"

Where would Zhou He know, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Subconsciously, I looked at the porridge in my hand. After a few tens of seconds, I forgot to call and ask first, and then gave the porridge to the nurse and asked her for supper.

When he left the hospital, he didn't even know where he was going. She knew that her face was not good-looking, and even if she forced herself to go back, she was afraid that Aunt Qi would find out that something was wrong. When she returned to the dormitory, she remembered that she had been in the dormitory with low pressure recently, and she felt tired. He simply sat down on the steps beside him.

She sat for more than half an hour, and she didn't even notice that her hands and feet were frozen by the cold wind. It wasn't until a voice sounded above her head that she came back to her senses and looked up.

The assistant she saw at the door of the ward that night stood on the steps above and asked tentatively, "Miss Zhou, are you here to see Mr. Cheng?"

Zhou He was a little uncomfortable and said, "I forgot to call when I came over." I was a little tired just now...... I'll go back. ”

She was about to leave, but as soon as she turned around, Wei Feng stopped her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Miss Zhou, since you are here, can you go with me to the hotel where Mr. Cheng lives." Although the injuries on his body were not infected, the doctor said that it was best to stay in the hospital for a few more days. He insisted on being discharged from the hospital in the morning, and the doctor later prescribed him medicine that he refused to take. As you know, if you accidentally get infected, it will be very troublesome to deal with, and besides, some of his injuries are on his face, so he can rest assured by staying in the hospital for observation. ”

Zhou He didn't know how he thought he could persuade Cheng Wei, and said, "I'm afraid I can't persuade him." ”

The man hurriedly said, "You don't need to persuade him to go back to the hospital, just let him take the medicine." Mr. Cheng was really unjustified this time, if it wasn't for the rescue of the children who were left at home alone, he would not have been injured. He had already gone downstairs, heard a child crying and ran back. ”

He babbled and said, and without waiting for Zhou He to speak, he said again: "Please here, my car is parked in the parking lot over there." ”

He walked briskly to lead the way, and Zhou He had to follow.

The fire started downstairs in Cheng Wei, and it was caused by forgetting to turn off the fire and going downstairs to buy salt when stir-frying. The fire was so great that his upstairs was affected. The glass on the outside is shattered, and it needs to be repaired before we can live again. He was discharged from the hospital today and went straight to the hotel.

He lives not far away, right in the hotel in the city center. Wei Feng took Zhou He upstairs all the way, saying that something happened to the company today, and Cheng Wei's temper was not very good, so please be more tolerant.

Cheng Wei was on the phone when the two went in, and the person on the other side of the phone didn't know what to say, and his handsome face was as cold as a thousand years of ice. It wasn't until Wei Feng stepped forward and said that Miss Zhou was coming over that he hung up the phone.

Wei Feng quickly walked out of the room, Cheng Wei reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Didn't do anything. Zhou He said, took out the medicine given by Wei Feng, took the medicine according to the instructions, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Cheng Wei.

Zhou He didn't pay attention when he was in the hospital, and only then did he find that there was a small burn on the back of his neck.

Cheng Wei didn't make a fuss, took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp. Zhou He said: "Burns are easy to infect, so you'd better go back to the hospital for a few days of observation." ”

Cheng Wei glanced at her with a smile and said, "You have a very wide heart." ”

Zhou Yi didn't speak, Cheng Wei had already gotten up and went to the bathroom.

He locked the door and stayed in the bathroom for a long time before coming out. Seeing that Zhou He was still there, he raised his eyebrows.

Zhou He didn't look at him, and said, "Can I stay with you for one night?" ”

The sofa in the room was quite spacious and she could sleep perfectly.

Cheng Wei glanced at her, but didn't say anything harsh, wiped his hair casually and lay on the bed.

He didn't say a word, this was the acquiescence. Zhou He went to the bathroom to wash up, then turned off the light and lay down on the sofa.

The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of you are not drawn, and you can see the night scene outside while lying on the sofa. Zhou Ji didn't look at it, just stared at the ceiling.

She couldn't sleep, and she didn't fall asleep until after one o'clock in the morning.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard a sound similar to the door opening. With a stirring in her head, she immediately rolled over and sat up. Before he could make any movements, his mouth was covered by a big palm, and Cheng Wei's low voice rang out, saying, "Go to the closet, don't make any sound." ”

Zhou He's mind was still a little confused, and he reacted when he got out of bed on the sofa and said, "Where are you going?"

Outside, the sound of a lock-picking continued, and her heart lifted.

Cheng Wei didn't answer her words, and pushed her into the closet by the light outside.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of being discovered or what, the sound of unlocking outside is intermittent, but it's enough to tense my nerves.

It's just in one room, and even the bed is still hot. Zhou He originally thought that hiding in the wardrobe was just delaying time, but when Cheng Wei reached out and pressed it aside, she realized that there was a small dark room in the wardrobe. Before she could react, she was pushed in by Cheng Wei, and he immediately closed the door of the wardrobe and entered the dark room.

The dark room is not too narrow, and the two of them still have room to hide.

At the same time, the door to the outside was opened. A slight crackling sound rang out in the room.

The person who came was really going to search everywhere, and the footsteps were so small and fragmented that he didn't let go even under the bed. When he found the wardrobe, Zhou He's heart was in his throat. Fortunately, no one would have thought that there was a dark room in the hotel room, so after opening the wardrobe and looking at it, he closed the door of the closet.

Soon there was a voice outside, and he was probably not sure if Cheng Wei had left, so he quickly opened the door and left.

Waiting for no more movement outside, Cheng Wei opened the door of the dark room. Because of nervousness, Zhou He's face turned slightly pale.

Cheng Wei stuck to her in the dark, and said with a smile in her ear: "Do you believe your senior brother's words now? I am indeed not a good person." ”

Compared with Zhou He, the owner of his room that was searched in the middle of the night didn't seem to be nervous at all.

Zhou He's body stiffened violently, and he quickly let go of her and took out the phone. I went to the front window and made a call.

He didn't make a short call, hung up the phone and didn't move again, just standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

After about ten minutes, there was a sudden knock at the door. With the appearance just now, Zhou He's nerves tensed and looked at Cheng Wei in front of the window.
