Senior Brother Qiu and Shu Hua's wedding was simple, and only close relatives and friends of both parties were invited. Because there are not many people, although Zhou He is a bridesmaid for the first time, he is not in a hurry.

The bride threw the bouquet for a long time, and threw it straight to Zhou He. Zhou He subconsciously received it in his hand, and seeing the regret on Senior Brother Qiu's cousin's face, he gave her the bouquet.

After the wedding, Senior Brother Qiu booked a private room early and asked everyone to go to KTV to sing. Zhou Ji did not follow, and under the pretext of having to return to Kyoto tomorrow morning, he left early.

Senior Brother Qiu wanted to find someone to take her back to the hotel, but she refused. Let him be his groom and don't worry about her.

Zhou He left, but did not return to the hotel. Instead, I took a taxi to campus. On weekends the campus is deserted, with few people on the tree-lined paths. Zhou He sat down on the same place where he used to sit a few years ago.

In a trance, on the tree-lined path, Xu Yuanning seemed to be able to be seen on the basketball court. She just sat in a daze. After a long time, I got up and went to the boys' dormitory.

In the entire campus, there seems to be still a shadow of them. Everything is still the same, but it has long been a matter of fact.

Zhou He walked around the campus, went to the small shop where she and Xu Yuanning frequented, and sat down to order beef brisket noodles for a night. At the wedding, she had to block the wine for Shu Hua, and she barely ate.

The proprietress still knew each other and asked her enthusiastically where she worked.

Zhou He politely answered them all. She doesn't have a good appetite these days and often eats very little. This time, probably because she was chatting with the proprietress, she unknowingly ate a bowl of noodles.

After paying to leave, when she walked to the intersection of the street to stop the car, she suddenly felt like someone was watching her. She turned around, and the tree-lined path behind her was littered with pedestrians, and there were no acquaintances.

Zhou Yiyi barely slept all night, and went to the airport early the next day without saying goodbye to anyone.

Time flies, and in a flash it is the end of June, which is the hottest day. Zhou He finally stopped traveling frequently and no longer worked overtime for a long time as before.

Li Peiyuan didn't know why he hadn't been transferred back to Kyoto, but he would come back from time to time. After Xu Yuanning was not there, he was worried about Zhou He, and he would call from time to time. I'll come back and come over to see Zhouhe. It's just that the time he came back was not coincidental, and Zhou He was on a business trip.

At the end of June, Li Peiyuan came to Beijing on a business trip. After learning that Zhou He was not on a business trip, he asked her to go out to eat. Zhou He rarely got off work early, and knew that he often ate outside, so he let him come to eat at home.

She went to buy vegetables early after work, and when Li Peiyuan came over, she was cooking soup and chopping pork ribs.

He asked if there was anything he could help with, and Zhou He refused, leaving him to watch TV in the living room for a while. Li Peiyuan responded, but he didn't watch TV, and he didn't know who called him, so he talked on the balcony.

Zhou He got the ingredients one by one, and when he was cooking sweet and sour pork ribs, there was a knock on the door. Li Peiyuan was still talking on the phone, she turned off the fire and walked over quickly to open the door. Standing outside the door was Cheng Wei, who had a lot of things in his hands. A small basket of fresh white strawberries with green leaves, and a foam box containing something like seafood.

Zhou He didn't know how he knew that he was back, and he was stunned when he saw him.

Cheng Wei explained: "It's all sent by customers, fruit and a little seafood. Zhou He still had a spatula in his hand, so he asked, "Do you need me to bring it in for you?"

Zhou He came back to his senses, looked at the things in his hand, didn't pick them up, and said, "Thank you, you don't need to send anything more." I will source what I need. ”

The expression on Cheng Wei's face remained unchanged, and he said: "It's not deliberate, I can't eat so much if the customer sends it." ”

Zhou He finally took everything and thanked him. Invite him to the house for dinner.

Cheng Wei looked at the men's shoes at the door and refused, saying that he had already eaten them. After bowing his head slightly towards Zhou He, he went back to the opposite room.

When Zhou He entered the house with his things, Li Peiyuan had already finished making the call, and he should have heard the conversation between Zhou He and Cheng Wei. didn't ask anything, just took things over for Zhou He.

A small basket of white strawberries was placed on the table, and shrimp and baby crabs in the foam box were placed in the kitchen.

The little crab was still alive and kicking, and when the foam box was opened, it crawled. Li Peiyuan looked at it and said casually: "When I was a child, the old lady would make a jar of drunken crabs every season. ”

He rarely talks about the past.

Zhou He flipped over the ribs in the pot, thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Xiao, if you don't leave for the time being, I'll try to do it." When the time comes, you can take some to Yucheng. ”

Li Peiyuan did not refuse, nodded and agreed.

The meal was put on the table not long after, and remembering that it had been inconvenient for Zhou He to travel, Li Peiyuan asked, "Have you ever thought about buying a car? It will be much more convenient to travel." ”

Zhou Hesheng pushed the soup in front of him and said, "I think I've thought about it, but I don't have a driver's license yet." Let's take it slowly. She couldn't afford to take the test.

Li Peiyuan sighed and said: "I have a driving school instructor I know, do you want to apply for one for you?" He is very patient, when you are busy and want to go to practice, just call him in advance." ”

He hoped that Zhou He would buy a car. Sometimes it's not safe to work overtime too late and take a taxi back. It's much easier to have your own car.

Zhou He couldn't refuse his kindness, and nodded in response.

Li Peiyuan said that he would sign her up later, and she would just go over to study if she had time. I talked about a few more cars.

Zhou Ji didn't understand the car, so he said that he would get his driver's license first. At the end of the year, she received a large bonus, and she did not plan to move the money left by the old lady for her, so she said her budget.

Her budget isn't much, but it's enough. Li Peiyuan asked her to go to the store by herself first, and when she met someone she liked, she told him, and he would refer to it for her.

Zhou He's okay.

The two drank a little red wine during the meal. Zhou He is an alcoholic, and despite her best efforts to control it, she still drinks a lot.

Zhou He, who had drunk the wine, was even more silent, and his expression was erratic. Despite her best efforts, her reaction was still half a beat slow.

Later, Li Peiyuan forbade her to drink any more, and she didn't make trouble, just nested on the sofa like a cat. The whole person is cowardly.

Li Peiyuan poured her a glass of water but she didn't move, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you want to ask for leave and rest for a while?"

Xu Yuanning's matter hit her hard, he knew it very well, but he couldn't do anything about it. originally thought that when she went to work, she would slowly get better. Now it seems that she is simply suppressing the grief.

Zhou He cheered up, rubbed his fingers in the center of his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Little uncle, I'm fine." ”

Her emotions were uncontrollably low.

Li Peiyuan didn't speak for a while, took out a cigarette, smoked it, and said, "Ahe, I know you're very uncomfortable. But if you've been like this, you should see a doctor. ”

Zhou He didn't speak, and after a while, he said, "Uncle, I'm fine, and I don't need to see a doctor." You don't have to worry about me. ”

Li Peiyuan fell silent and looked at Zhou He, who had closed his eyes on the sofa. After two or three minutes, he said, "I'll make an appointment with a psychiatrist for you, if you don't want to go, I'll send you there myself." ”

Zhou He's brows furrowed, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

Li Peiyuan finished smoking a cigarette and stood up and said, "Stop drinking, go to bed early." I'll call you tomorrow. ”

Zhou Hewo didn't say anything on the sofa, he opened the door and walked outside.

Zhou He couldn't sleep at all, and she didn't have any scruples when she was alone, she opened the unfinished red wine, poured it and sat on the ground and continued to drink. It wasn't until he couldn't open his eyes that he stumbled to the bedroom.

Li Peiyuan signed a psychiatrist for Zhou in the afternoon, probably because he didn't want her to have psychological pressure, so he only called her to tell her the place and the time of the appointment.

Zhou He was reluctant to go, but he was afraid that Li Peiyuan would really accompany her, so he had to reluctantly pass. The doctor was a male doctor, and he didn't ask as many things as Zhou He imagined. I asked a few random questions as if we were chatting.

Zhou He didn't want to come over, afraid that he would make an appointment with him next time, so he paved the way, and said, "Doctor Lu should know that it wasn't you I made an appointment." I also think I'm normal and fine. I may be in a low mood

falls, but definitely not enough to see a doctor. ”

Dr. Zhou smiled slightly and said, "I don't treat Miss Zhou as a patient, and I believe that Mr. Li is the same as me." He just thinks you're too busy and the pressure of work is not small, so he asked you to come and talk to me. ”

He said this like coaxing a child. Zhou Ji couldn't accept it, pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Probably seeing her resistance, Dr. Lu didn't ask anything more, just casually talked about some trivial things in life. When the time came, he asked Zhou He to go back. said that Li Peiyuan had asked him three times and asked her to come over on time. So he and she are both good friends.

He seemed to be just trying to complete the task, and Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't lift her spirits, and Li Peiyuan signed up for her to take the driver's license test, but she didn't go. The coach called her several times, but she pushed her on the grounds that she was busy with work.

Although she didn't want to do anything else, she had a full schedule of work to do. Don't dare to let yourself be idle. All the free time she has to spare, she doesn't even know what she's thinking.

She seems to be addicted to alcohol, and even if she doesn't socialize, she often comes home drunk.

It's rare that she doesn't have to socialize one day, although she has drunk, she is still sober when she comes home. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Cheng Yu is secretary Wan coming out of the opposite room.

During the time that Cheng Wei lived here, almost no one else came except for his aunt and driver. But Zhou He was not surprised to see her.

Because of the cooperation between the two companies, she stopped and nodded slightly to her to greet her: "Miss Wan." ”

After saying hello, she was ready to take out the key and open the door. But as soon as the key was taken out, the Miss Wan said, "I heard that Miss Zhou and our Mr. Cheng knew each other before?"

It was no secret that she and Cheng Wei had known each other before, and it was not surprising that she would know.

Before Zhou He could speak, Wan Qiwen chuckled lightly and said, "Since Miss Zhou has known Mr. Cheng for a long time, and she is still looking for Mr. Meng looking for me, isn't this seeking the near and far? I didn't see it at that time that Miss Zhou and Mr. Cheng turned out to be old acquaintances." Miss Zhou's acting skills are really admirable. ”

She said it with words.

Zhou He simply turned his head to look at her, and said lightly, "What does Miss Wan want to say?"

Wan Qiwen shrugged her shoulders and said, "Miss Zhou thinks too much, I don't have anything to say." I just simply admired Miss Zhou's acting skills. Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then said: "But I admire Miss Zhou, the housing prices here are quite expensive, and Miss Zhou has put a lot of effort into buying the house at the opposite door of Mr. Cheng, right?"

The vinegar in her words could be smelled from a few kilometers away, and Zhou He didn't explain, and said lightly: "Mr. Cheng must be more than just this property, if Miss Wan is unhappy, she can let Mr. Cheng change places." With my financial ability, Miss Wan can rest assured that I can't catch up. ”

After she said this, she didn't look at Wan Qiwen's ugly face, opened the door and entered the house.

She is in high spirits, and she can't lift her spirits. After taking off his coat and putting it aside, he took out a bottle of red wine, opened it, poured it into a glass and tasted it slowly.

I don't know why, she remembered once again the scene when Aunt Qi was still there and they were having a barbecue in the yard. It's been years, but the scene is still clear. She even remembered the smile on Xu Yuanning's face at that time, as well as the tone of his voice.

She forced herself not to think about it. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she might really be sick. But she didn't want to get better either.

The three counseling appointments with Dr. Lui were due soon, and when she came later, this Dr. Lui would do his own thing, and if she didn't speak, he wouldn't ask her.

She couldn't speak, she couldn't sit still, and occasionally asked about Dr. Lui's work. Dr. Lui would have answered.

The last time she breathed a sigh of relief, and sat for an hour before she got up and left when the time was up. As soon as he got up, Dr. Lu, who had been staring at the computer screen, looked at her, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Miss Zhou has to continue next week, Mr. Li is not very comfortable with you, so he renewed it a few more times." Miss Zhou is busy with work, and it is not a bad thing for Miss Zhou to come over for an hour of rest and rest every week. ”

Zhou He didn't expect Li Peiyuan to renew it for her again, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but get irritated when he saw Dr. Lu's standard smiling face, sneered, and said, "Dr. Lu is really good at making money. ”

Dr. Lu was not angry at all, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled slightly and said, "I am a doctor and a businessman. Open the door to do business, and you can't always refuse guests. I can get the consultation fee, and Miss Zhou can be a little lazy. It's a win-win, and I think Miss Zhou will definitely come over on time. ”

Zhou He was very annoyed, but he was angry and couldn't find a place to sprinkle. He slammed the door and went out in a rage. Attracted the nurse outside.

She didn't care about the strange eyes of others, and left quickly.

She was originally going back to the company, but now she was so angry that she forgot where she should go for a while. After walking for a while, he sat down on the side of the road.

She didn't want to come back, but she didn't dare not come. didn't dare to call Li Peiyuan to tell him, so he sat dejectedly. I don't know how long she sat down, but the phone rang suddenly, and she came back to her senses and picked up the phone.

The call came from the company, and she had a client to meet later and asked when she would be back.

She was originally only out for two hours, but now it's three hours, no wonder the company calls.

Zhou He cheered up and said that he would go back soon. After hanging up the phone and standing up, she went to stop the car.

At this time, there were many cars, and it didn't take long for a car to stop in front of her. The driver put something in the back seat and asked if she could sit in the front. She nodded in response and pulled open the door in front of her.

The driver started the car and was just about to leave. Zhou He casually looked up in the rearview mirror and saw a tall and thin man in a black coat and trousers standing on the side of the road.

He was wearing a black baseball cap and a mask on his face, but that figure, no matter how he looked at it, looked like Xu Yuanning.

Zhou He's mind was suffocated, and he reached out to open the car door before he had time to ask the driver to stop. The driver was startled and stopped the car sharply. yelled at her, "What are you doing?"

Zhou He ignored his yelling, rushed out of the car and ran back. But in just a minute or two, the tall and thin man with black clothes was gone on the side of the road.

She searched everywhere, squeezing into the long line despite the abuse. But the man was never seen again. It was as if the inadvertent glimpse was just her hallucination.

Zhou He was disappointed and sat in front of the bus stop in a daze. It took a while to cheer up and take a taxi to the company again.

This night, she went back drunk again. As soon as I entered the elevator, I met Cheng Wei, who was already standing in the elevator.

Cheng Wei's brows furrowed tightly, and he said, "Why do you drink so much wine?"

Zhou He leaned against the elevator wall, glanced at him with drooping eyelids, and said, "How much wine I drink doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mr. Cheng, right?"

Her tone was not at all polite.

She rarely shows her emotions. Cheng Wei was surprised that she was suddenly so unpolite, looked at her, and said, "I remember that I didn't seem to offend you in any way, right?"

Zhou He closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The elevator soon reached the floor, and the door opened and Zhou He stumbled out. Cheng Wei wanted to reach out to help her, but she avoided her.

In the past, her keys were kept in her bag, and she could touch them with a slight touch. But today I don't know what's going on, she can't touch the key.

Cheng Wei had already opened the door and was going to enter the house. Seeing that she had been touching her bag, he stopped, turned to her, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

There was patience in his tone.

Zhou He replied without raising his head, and continued to touch the key.

After touching it for a few minutes, she simply dumped everything in her bag on the ground. Sitting down on the ground, she looked for things that she could see clearly at a glance, but she looked for them one by one.

Cheng Wei didn't look over, squatted down to pick up her things, and said, "I don't have it in the bag, where do you want to put it?" If you really can't find it, go to my house for one night, and look for it tomorrow." ”

Zhou Ji ignored him and sat on the ground without moving. She racked her brain to figure out where the key was, but her mind was like a mess of paste, and she couldn't think of it.

She didn't bother to think about it, so she closed her eyes and leaned against the wall.

Cheng Wei was silent for a while, then opened her bag again, rummaging through it to find her key. But it wasn't in the bag. He put the contents of her bag into it, and his eyes fell on her coat. After a moment's hesitation, he reached over and searched the pocket of her coat.

The key hadn't been dropped, it was in her pocket. Cheng Wei took it out and opened the door, then squatted down to call her and said, "The door is open." ”

She was still a little conscious, and when she half-opened her eyes, she saw that the door was indeed open, and without asking him where the key came from, she grabbed the bag and stumbled into the room. Crashed the door mercilessly. Liucheng stood in place.

Zhou He met Cheng Wei when he went to work the next morning. She had become a habit of getting drunk, and last night's hangover didn't make any difference to her. The makeup on his face was impeccable, and the paleness of his face was completely obscured.

She still remembered some of last night's events, and nodded at Cheng Wei as a greeting.

Cheng Wei didn't speak, and asked after a while, "Were you entertaining last night?"

The space of the elevator is narrow, so you can't think of it as if you haven't heard it. Zhou He nodded, and replied.

Cheng Wei glanced at her and said, "I'm often drunk at socializing, are you sure you can do your current position?"

Zhou He didn't expect him to say such a sentence, looked up at him, and said, "Whether I can be qualified for my current position or not, it seems that it is not Mr. Cheng's final say." ”

Cheng Wei choked and said, "Even if it's social, I'm not as drunk as you." ”

A touch of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Zhou He's lips, glanced at him, and said, "I'm so drunk that I don't seem to drink Mr. Cheng's bar?"

As he spoke, the elevator stopped on the first floor. She didn't look at Cheng Wei, and stepped out of the elevator with high heels.

Cheng Wei stood in the elevator, and the elevator door closed again. Ignoring the no-smoking sign, he pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and smoked it.

He had a meeting this morning, and he was not in a hurry when he arrived at the parking lot, so he finished smoking a cigarette in the car, closed his eyes and leaned on the seat and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long while, he started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Zhou He showed up at Dr. Lu's mental clinic on time on Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Lui continued to do his job as usual, typing on the keyboard and not paying attention to her.

But instead of playing mobile games or closing her eyes and pretending to sleep as she used to, she sat absentmindedly in her chair, not knowing what she was thinking.
