Cheng Wei was extremely rude, and Zhou He didn't feel anything other than pain. He was so strange, and she felt a sense of trepidation, and did her best to accommodate him. Finally fainted.

When I woke up the next morning, I found that there were bruises all over my body, even on my neck.

The fallen palm was even more swollen today, and she stayed for a moment, pulled the collar of her coat to cover her neck, and then went downstairs.

Cheng Wei returned to her usual appearance today, served her porridge for breakfast, and pushed the fried egg in front of her.

Zhou He's thank you swallowed into his stomach, lowered his head and ate silently.

As Cheng Wei said, the time he spent here began to be less and less. He often goes out, and this has become a temporary place for him to stay.

Every time he left Zhou He, he was terrified, and it wasn't until he came back again that he was barely at ease.

Xu knew her stubbornness, Cheng Wei seemed to have really compromised, and didn't say anything about sending her away. Every time I came back, I would sleep at night and hold her in my arms.

Despite this, Zhou He became more and more panicked. He never said what he was doing out there, or how things were handled. Zhou He had several nightmares, and every time he dreamed that he was covered in blood, he would cry and wet his pillow before waking up from the dream.

Whether Cheng Wei is there or not, she seems to have returned to the time when Aunt Qi passed away, and she has become silent. And insomnia all night long.

Because of insomnia, she had a headache. She took painkillers from her mute aunt, and at first she took one pill, and then she had to take two or three tablets to relieve the pain.

She didn't care about the palm that had been bruised, and there was no sign of swelling. However, when she was choosing a dish, she was discovered by a mute aunt, who found out the ointment she had applied to the pain of arthritis and put it on her, and told her to remember to change it.

Zhou He nodded seriously, and at this time, he suddenly remembered Aunt Qi. Her eyes were so astringent that she sat in the courtyard motionlessly, staring motionlessly at a clear blue sky.

It wasn't until Lao Cai's car drove in that she suddenly came back to her senses.

Cheng Wei went out this time and came back after three full days, and Zhou He didn't sleep much in the past three days. When I came back, I was relieved to see that he was not injured.

It should be that the situation outside is not very good, Cheng Wei is silent, and the words that are not much to talk about are even more burning, and when he came back, he sat under the eaves and smoked.

The two of them looked haggard, and at a glance, they knew that they hadn't rested well.

Zhou Helai was here most of the time just to give a hand to the dumb aunt, and this day let her rest, she made chicken soup and made a few appetizers.

Despite her painstaking preparations, Cheng Wei and Li didn't eat much. The table barely moved.

After eating, I don't know who called, and the two went upstairs. Zhou He was still outside cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, when he heard a few loud bangs from upstairs.

The dumb aunt was so frightened that she pointed upstairs and asked what was wrong.

Zhou He said that she went up to take a look, put down the bowl in her hand and quickly went downstairs. The two of them were upstairs in the study, the door was ajar, and Zhou He went over and saw a fragment of the ground. It should be Cheng Wei who smashed the teacup.

Zhou Ji didn't hide his footsteps, and the two people in the door found him. Cheng Wei unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt and said coldly to Li Jing: "Go down." ”

Li actually answered yes and turned to go down.

Zhou He wanted to ask what was wrong, but he didn't ask anything when the words came to his lips. Squat down and pick up debris on the ground.

Cheng Wei slowed down, picked up the lighter on the table, lit the cigarette, and said, "Don't scratch your hands, I'll come up and clean it later." ”

His tone was calm and understated, and it was completely unrecognizable that he had just been angry.

Zhou He was afraid that he would be unhappy again, so he didn't pick it up again, stood up, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Wei slowly spat out the smoke and said lightly, "It's okay." ”

After he said this, he stopped talking to Zhou He, and went out of the room directly and went downstairs.

I don't know where he went, and he was already missing when Zhou He went out. She stood in the courtyard for a while, and slowly returned to the house.

Lao Cai also came over later, and he didn't come to deliver something this time. When I came, I went to find Cheng Wei. It didn't take long for him to come out and smoke in the yard.

He is going to talk a lot better than Li Jing, Zhou He hesitated slightly, walked over, and asked, "Uncle Cai, is the situation outside very bad?"

She refers not only to Cheng Wei's company, but also to Hehuan Street.

Lao Cai sighed and looked in the direction of the room. said in a low voice: "The goods on the company's side have been suppressed by the customs for an excuse, and I don't know how long this inspection will take." There are also several clubs and bars run by Li Jing, which have been in trouble and have been stared at recently. Usually Mr. Cheng has a lot of money to keep those relationships, at this time, one by one, they are shirking, saying that they can't help, isn't this pushing Mr. Cheng into the fire pit?"

He had a sad face, and after speaking, he realized that he had talked too much, and said with a haha: "Mr. Cheng doesn't want you to worry, I told you, don't miss your mouth." ”

Zhou He nodded. Lao Cai changed the topic and talked about some innocuous things.

Zhou He's heart was heavy, and he didn't even know when he left in the end. She stood in the courtyard in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Cheng Wei drank wine in the evening, and went to bed drunk at eleven o'clock. Zhou He snuggled into his arms and kissed him softly on the lips.

Cheng Wei's body stiffened slightly, crushing her under her as she demanded it further.

After tossing, Cheng Wei fell asleep, and soon made an even breathing sound. Although Zhou He was tired, his mind was very clear. After lying on the bed for a while, he got up lightly, and seeing that Cheng Wei showed no signs of waking up, he closed the door and went out.

She grabbed her phone and walked all the way out of the yard before stopping.

I turned on my phone, and a lot of short messages poured in. Many of them were sent by Xu Yuanning and He Mi, asking her where she had gone, and she couldn't get through on the phone. And let her call them back when she sees it.

There was also Li Pei Yuan, who asked her to call him back after seeing the message.

After reading it, Zhou Yiyi stood in a daze for a while, and dialed Li Peiyuan's phone.

At this time, Li Peiyuan hadn't slept yet, and when the phone was dialed, he immediately answered it and called Ahe.

Zhou He was apologetic and called his uncle in a low voice.

Hearing her voice, Li Peiyuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, and asked, "Where are you now? Why is the phone always turned off? I called your school and asked, saying that you asked for leave." ”

This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words, Zhou He was silent for a while, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, little uncle." She paused slightly, then said, "I'm calling you to ask ......."

Before she could finish her words, there was a crisp cracking sound behind her that a branch was trampling. She turned around, and Cheng Wei was standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at her with an indifferent face.

Zhou He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously hung up the phone. Cheng Wei didn't come over and didn't speak. Just looked at her coldly.

Zhou He didn't know how much he heard, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to inquire about ......"

Cheng Wei still looked at her coldly, the corners of his lips hooked up a little sarcasm, and said, "Who to ask?"

Zhou He fell silent.

Cheng Wei didn't wait for her to answer, turned around and went back to the courtyard.

She hung up the phone directly just now, and then Li Peiyuan's phone called again. Zhou He didn't answer, turned off his mobile phone, and followed into the yard.

The room was quiet and did not alarm anyone. Cheng Wei should have gone to the study, but Zhou He went back to the room and didn't see him. She stood on the edge of the bed for a moment, and then lay down on the bed.

She still didn't sleep all night, and although she got up early the next day, she didn't see Cheng Wei all day, so she should have gone out.

When Cheng Wei came back, it was already evening, and he had already eaten dinner at that time. Auntie wanted to reheat the meal for him, but he said no, lit a cigarette and said to Zhou He: "Go and pack your things, and I'll send you back later." ”

His tone, though understated, was irrefutable.

This is what Zhou He had already anticipated. She was silent for a long time.

Cheng Wei paused slightly, and then said lightly: "I will go on a business trip tomorrow and will not come back here." ”

He had made up his mind, Zhou He didn't say anything more, and simply responded.

Cheng Wei didn't stay any longer and went upstairs. Leaving Zhou He standing downstairs.

She didn't have anything to pack, not even the few books she read regularly. Li actually sent her away at eleven o'clock in the evening, and Cheng Wei didn't come out upstairs.

This time it's the same as last time, still by water. Li even wanted to send Zhou He, but she refused. She took off the amulet she had been carrying and said, "I can go back myself, I don't have to send it." This is the talisman that Aunt Qi asked for before......"

Although her words were not finished, Li actually understood what she meant and took over the talisman. said: "I will bring it to Mr. Cheng." ”

When he had finished speaking, he asked the boat to sail.

Zhou He stood on the boat until there was only a vast expanse of water around him, and then he sat down. She was more seasick than ever, and it wasn't long before she fell to the side of the boat and vomited.

There was a couple on the boat, and the wife came over and patted her on the back and poured water for her. Help her inside and let her lie down, saying that it will be more comfortable to lie down, not so uncomfortable.

Zhou He lay down and looked at the top of the boat with his eyes open. Tears slid down her face silently, obviously it had only been a little more than a month, but she had been vicissitudes of life as if a whole century had passed.

I don't know if Cheng Wei explained in advance or what, the sky outside just lit up when the boat stopped on the shore. still arranged a car to wait, and Zhou He got off the boat and was arranged to get into the car.

The driver was a young man, probably because he saw that her face was not very good, and he didn't speak all the way.

Cheng Wei should have asked him to send her back to Yucheng, but Zhou Ji didn't let him. Let him put her down where there is a car.

The young man hesitated slightly, took out his mobile phone and didn't know who to call, and nodded after a few words. Eventually, he was sent to a small bus station.

He wanted to buy a ticket for Zhou He, but Zhou He refused. I went to the window and bought a ticket and got on the bus.

This month was like a dream, she closed her eyes tightly, afraid that as soon as she opened them, tears would fall uncontrollably.

It was noon when she arrived in Yucheng, and she didn't go back to school. I went back to the house and slept in the dark.

She took more than a month off, which caught the attention of the head teacher, and she was invited to the office on the first day of school.

The head teacher knows a little about her situation, and she also knows about Aunt Qi's death in a car accident. Seeing that her face was pale, she was not very good in spirit, thinking that she hadn't come out yet, so she didn't say much about her. I just said that the exam was coming soon, and there could be no next time. Finally, he sighed and cheered up Zhou He. and talked about going abroad on a scholarship. In order to show fairness, the exams will be selected on the basis of merit.

He suggested that Zhou He think about it and start preparing now if he plans to go out. The exam has not yet been set, but it should be before the start of the next semester.

Zhou Ji did not reply immediately, saying that he would consider it seriously and thanked the head teacher.

It's not good to ask anything in the classroom, and when I go back to the dormitory later, He Mi asks with a worried face: "Where have you been all this time? Why can't I get through on the phone, I'm scared to death." ”

Zhou He's face turned terribly pale, and he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Go out for a walk." ”

He Mi was still worried, and said, "Ah He, are you okay?"

Zhou He shook his head, still squeezing out a smile and saying it was okay.

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory. He Mi turned around to open the door, and was surprised to see the people outside, and shouted, "Senior Brother Xu, why did you come up?"

The dormitory manager is very strict, and unless there is really something, boys are not allowed to enter the dormitory.

Xu Yuanning didn't answer her words, nodded at her as a greeting, and said, "Help me call Zhou He, I have something to do with her." ”

He Mi hurriedly responded and called Zhou He.

Zhou He had already heard the words of the two and walked quickly to the door. called Senior Brother Xu in a low voice.

Xu Yuanning nodded and said, "Professor Xu has something over there, you and I have something to do." ”

She said hello and followed Xu Yuanning downstairs.

Xu Yuanning was silent all the time and did not speak. Professor Xu was just an excuse for him, and he went downstairs to a remote place before he asked, "Where have you been going all this time?"

During the period when Zhou He disappeared and there was no news at all, he regretted it almost every day. He knew that the background behind Cheng Wei was complicated. He shouldn't have told her that day. Fortunately, she returned safely, and if something really happened to her, he probably wouldn't be able to forgive himself in his life.

Zhou He said sorry in a low voice, and said, "Senior brother, don't ask, you won't be next time." ”

Her face was so white that Xu Yuanning wanted to ask something, but she still didn't open her mouth after all. The two of them just stood. After a while, Zhou Hecai said, "Senior brother, if it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

Xu Yuanning's lips moved, but he still nodded in the end and said yes. Let her rest well.

Zhou He squeezed out a smile and quickly returned to the dormitory.

The next day, Li Peiyuan also came. hung up his phone directly that day, and Zhou He was sorry. Li Peiyuan didn't ask her why she hung up the phone, and sat quietly with her.

He knew that she was with Cheng Wei, took out a cigarette and smoked it, and then said: "Don't worry too much, if everything is normal in his company, nothing will happen." ”

I don't know if he knows about the incident on Hehuan Street and Cheng Wei's injury this time, and he didn't mention it.

Zhou He nodded silently.

Li Peiyuan looked at her sideways, reached out and touched her head, and asked, "What's the matter, there was a quarrel?"

Zhou Hebu shook his head and said, "No." ”

If it was good, she couldn't be what she is now. Li Peiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "If something happens, he will inevitably be in a bad mood when he is under pressure. Be considerate. ”

His angle is neutral.

Zhou He recalled everything in those days, and his heart ached like a knife. She still squeezed out a smile, and didn't hide it from Li Peiyuan anymore, nodding and saying hello.

The two had been sitting outside for a long time, Li Peiyuan looked at the time and said, "It's not early, let's go, go to dinner." ”

Zhou He didn't know if he was busy, and said, "No, uncle, you're busy, I'm going back to school." ”

Li Peiyuan stood up and said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat." What do you want to eat, my uncle is in for a treat. ”

Zhou He said that he could eat anything.

Li Peiyuan thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, my colleague had a treat, and I went to eat a good Cantonese food, so I'll take you over to try it." ”

He drove the car, and after speaking, he walked to the side of the car and opened the door for Zhou He.

The Cantonese food he said was actually near Cheng Wei's company, but at seven o'clock, there were no people in the building, and it was deserted. Zhou He looked at it in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses until the car stopped.

Zhou He originally thought it was an ordinary Cantonese restaurant, but when he arrived at the dish, he knew that it was not. Reservations are made in advance through a membership system. Li Peiyuan should have made an appointment in advance.

He booked a private room, and after sitting down, he ordered the store's signature dim sum for Zhou He. said that a female colleague liked it very much last time, and when she left, she re-ordered a bag.

The meal was extraordinarily peaceful, and when I finished eating, I saw Miss Han walking out of another private room. She seemed to be alone, and when she saw Zhou He and Li Peiyuan slightly stunned, she immediately stepped forward, greeted Li Peiyuan with a smile, and then said to Zhou He: "Meet again." ”

She was still elegant and decent, but she was haggard throughout. Even the delicate makeup can't hide it.

Zhou He also greeted her politely, and the three of them walked outside together.

She didn't drive, Li Peiyuan was polite and gentlemanly, and said to send her back.

Miss Han's expression was lonely, she didn't know what she thought, and she lost her mind slightly. Then he smiled and said, "I'm bored by myself, let's go have a drink together?"

She and the invitation were undoubtedly a little abrupt. She didn't look at Li Peiyuan, but looked at Zhou He, smiled and said, "Is it okay?"

Although she was talking, her expression was somehow in a trance.

Zhou He subconsciously looked at Li Peiyuan. Li Peiyuan was probably worried that she would get drunk alone, so he looked at the time and said, "Where are you going?"

Miss Han smiled and said thank you before saying, "There's a bar over there." ”

She seems to know this place quite well.

Li Peiyuan nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

The bar is not far away, but it is only five minutes away. There weren't many customers in the bar at this time, and Miss Han should have been a regular here, so when she sat down, the bartender asked, "Are you still the same as before?"

She nodded, looked at Li Peiyuan and Zhou He, and said, "What are you drinking?"

Li Peiyuan had to drive, and Zhou He didn't plan to let her drink, and said, "Two glasses of water, thank you." ”

Miss Han smiled at this time, looked at Li Peiyuan, and said, "Come here to drink with me, you only order two glasses of water?" She didn't ask Li Peiyuan's opinion anymore, she ordered the wine directly, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Zhou is an adult, and it doesn't hurt to drink once in a while." It's rare to meet, and you won't get drunk tonight. ”

The wine came up quickly, and she pushed it in front of Zhou He and Li Peiyuan, raised the cups in front of her, and touched them one by one.

She drank so boldly that she drank Zhou He and Li Peiyuan's wine glasses before they were served. He pushed the cup directly in front of the bartender and motioned for her to refill it.

She drank so violently that Zhou He didn't expect, and she subconsciously looked at Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan didn't speak, but also picked up the cup and drank slowly.

No one spoke for a while, Miss Han was purely drunk, drinking cup after cup. It is obviously normal for her to be like this, Li Peiyuan is no longer surprised, drinking slowly, and raising his wrist to look at the time from time to time.

Miss Han didn't stop until she was drunk, she burped and felt sick to her stomach, and she quickly rushed to the bathroom.

Zhou He, who was drunk alone, couldn't rest assured, and she was going to follow immediately. was stopped by Li Peiyuan, and he said lightly: "She has her own measure, don't worry about her." ”

He obviously knew Miss Han better than her, so Zhou He had to sit down.

But she still couldn't rest assured, and after sitting for a while, she couldn't sit still, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Before Li Peiyuan could speak this time, she walked quickly to the bathroom.

When she passed, Miss Han had already finished throwing up, and she had taken off the high heels on her feet, and was leaning against the wall of the bathroom smoking a cigarette.

Her face was crimson, and her expression was misty. But a pair of eyes are clear.

Zhou He slowed down when he saw her, and walked over before asking, "Are you okay?"

Miss Han was a little sluggish, raised her head to look at her, shook her head, and said, "It's okay." She took a puff of smoke and closed her eyes and leaned against the wall again.

Her expression was lonely and sad, as if she was suppressing great pain.

Zhou He was silent, and after a while, he said, "It's cold on the ground, you put on your shoes." Can you still go? I'll help you out. ”

Miss Han didn't know if she heard her clearly, so she opened her eyes and looked at her in a daze.
