Chang An moved quickly, and after ten minutes, he was already dressed neatly.

She was still wearing the black cotton dress she wore two days ago, and Zhou Wei grabbed her before going out.

"Wait a minute!"

He quickly ran upstairs and down again, with a smoky gray scarf in his hand.

"It's windy outside, so let's hang around. ”

He wanted to wrap Chang An up, and Chang An stepped back.

"No, it's not cold. ”

Zhou Wei frowned, and changed his words: "It's okay, as long as you don't mind going to the hospital with the mark on your neck, I don't care." ”

"What is the seal?"

There was a small mirror on the side of the entrance, Chang An looked over to the side, and sure enough, he saw several kiss marks on his neck.

"Give it to me!"

She pulled the scarf and covered her neck tightly, not forgetting to glare at Zhou Wei fiercely.

Zhou Wei couldn't help laughing and took her hand: "Let's go." ”

The two found a restaurant on the road and simply settled for lunch.

It was almost twelve o'clock when she arrived at the hospital, and the nurse was giving her a needle.

"An An's mother!" she shouted when she saw Chang An coming in.

Chang An walked to the bed with the bag in his hand.

"Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it. ”

"How's it going?"

Because of her illness, Xiaozhi's appetite has not been very good, and her condition has worsened, and she has lost more weight recently.

"I ate a lot today...... A large bowl. She replied happily to Chang An.

Chang An didn't believe it and asked the nurse next to him.

The nurse nodded: "I really ate well today, I fed most of the bowl of porridge, and drank a bowl of soup, saying that I wanted to eat more to nourish my body and be discharged from the hospital to study." ”

Chang An's heart was sour when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Xiao Zhi is the most well-behaved, so in order to praise your recent performance, I brought you your favorite cake. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, it was my uncle who bought it. ”

Xiao Zhi peeked at Zhou Yan, who was standing behind Chang An, and suddenly his head shook, and his mouth grinned: "Thank you, uncle!"

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, as if he had been poked in a soft place somewhere in his heart.

He rubbed his forehead and said a little uncomfortably, "No thanks!"

In fact, the cake was not what he bought, it was temporarily added by Chang An when he ate at the restaurant at noon, thinking that she wanted to eat it, but she directly asked the waiter to pack it, so in the end, Zhou Wei just paid for it.

"But the cake has cheese and cream in it, it's not easy to digest, you can only eat two bites, okay?" Chang An asked Xiao Zhi's opinion.

Xiao Zhite was sensible and nodded vigorously: "Well, it's okay!"

Chang An fed Xiaozhi a cake, took a sip of water when he fed it, and fed four or five mouthfuls in a row.

"Can you not eat it?"

The little girl looked at the cake that was still a big piece left, and begged for mercy, "Take another bite, take another bite!"

Chang An put the cake on the table, "It's been a few bites, I can't eat it anymore, be obedient!"

"But it's delicious. ”

"But you're still sick, An An's mother promised you, when you get better, will I buy you such a big cake?" Chang An also opened his arms and compared an exaggerated size.

Xiao Zhi's eyes blinked twice, "Really?"

"Of course, when did I fool Xiao Zhi?"

"Alright then, then... Then don't eat it......" Although the eyes are still on the cake, it is not a fuss after all.

Chang An immediately motioned to the nurse to take the cake away, bent over and hugged the child to lie flat on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

"Sleep for a while, and when you wake up, the water will be gone. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to the doctor for something, good, let's sleep. ”

Chang An tucked the corners of the quilt, touched the child's brain again, and waited for Xiaozhi to obediently close her eyes before she turned around.

"Let's go. She motioned softly.

When the two left the ward, Zhou Wei walked a little behind her and asked casually, "Xiaozhi is very dependent on you." ”

"It's a little bit, her parents are gone, maybe in her heart only me is still her relative. ”

Inadvertently, certain taboos were mentioned.

Zhou Wei thought of a few days ago when she said that she had been with another man again in the past few years, Ding Shouquan, who was Xiaozhi's father, although she knew that she should be angry, but as a man, she always had some mustard in her heart.

"Between you and Ding Shouquan..."

Chang An stopped and turned around: "Huh?"

Zhou Wei thought about it, and immediately changed his words: "It's nothing, forget it!"

Chang An tilted his head and walked back, until he walked in front of Zhou Wei.

"Forget it?"

Zhou Wei's eyes didn't dare to look at her, dodging.

Chang An was amused by the way he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and gently brushed his shoulders with his fingers, "Hey!"

Zhou Wei's eyelids swept down: "What are you doing?"

"Mind that?"

"Mind what?

"Not yet, your eyes are going to die. ”

"Nonsense!"

"Okay, I'm talking nonsense. Chang An leaned his feet next to his ear, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Quan, not only Xiaozhi's father, but also my life-saving benefactor, so I have lived with him in the past few years, and I have nothing to give him, so I can only make a promise to him, which can be regarded as repaying my kindness." With that, she pursed her lips and left.

Zhou Wei stayed in place for two seconds and caught up.

"What did you say?"

"Tell me clearly, what does it mean to make a promise by body!"

He caught up and pinched Chang An's wrist, Chang An struggled, but he didn't get rid of it, Zhou Wei simply took the person into his arms.

"Who allowed you to make a promise? Are you stupid? Have you ever thought that you are still a person with a husband..."

Chang An was rubbed by him and giggled, and in the end he almost paralyzed him.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong!"

"You let go of me first..."

Zhou Wei didn't let go, pushed the person to the base of the wall, and bit her ear.

"Lie to me, huh?"

"I didn't lie to you!"

"Still lying?"

His fingers rubbed the back of Chang An's neck, as if he was going to break her neck in the next second.

Chang An couldn't help laughing, raised his head and continued to tease him: "Really, after so many years of being in the same room with a man, do you think it's possible to do nothing?"

The more she talked, the more energetic she became.

Zhou Wei's eyes were cold, and he buried his head and leaned into Chang An's ear again, "Do you really think I believe it? Last night... It's still the same as it was three years ago...", he lowered his voice and walked away.

Chang An was stunned and didn't understand it, until she saw that Zhou Wei was about to get on the elevator with her trouser pocket, and she reacted with a sigh in her head.

This old gentleman once again refreshed Chang'an's cognition.

She was really ...... Ten thousand horses galloping, especially the initiator who also wore a tailor-made suit and a serious and elite look, who could associate his face with what he said just now?

Just...

"Rogues, how can you be so rogues?"

She was angry and ashamed, and rushed over angrily, reaching out to pound, but was hugged by Zhou Wei and pushed into the elevator.

Fortunately, there are VIPs on this floor, there are no patients, and there are no family members, otherwise Chang An felt that he would faint, but at the moment when the elevator door closed, Chang An seemed to hear a shout in the corridor: "Brother Zhou!" accompanied by the sound of high heels hitting the ground, from far to near.

"Someone seems to be calling you!" Chang An pushed him away a little and stood firm.

Zhou Wei frowned, just as the elevator door closed.

"Yes? ”

The elevator began to go down, and Chang An thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, so he didn't go to his heart.

……

Liu Peiqiang's office was in another building, and Zhou Wei had already made an appointment with him in advance, so he took Chang An directly over.

An old man in his sixties, although his sideburns and hair have turned gray, he looks very energetic.

He politely greeted Zhou Wei and Chang An, and personally served tea and water, which made Chang An very nervous, but soon she found that the old man had no frame at all, not only approachable, but also very humorous and funny.

Yesterday, Zhou Xian found him, and the old man transferred Xiaozhi's examination report and medical records in the evening and read them, and he already basically understood the child's situation, so he talked about the condition directly after meeting.

We talked for more than half an hour.

“… I am clear about the general problem, the child's medical records have also been transferred to me, I will arrange for two new examinations in the afternoon, and wait for the results of the examination tomorrow, if there is no problem, you can directly finalize the surgical plan. "The old man is refreshing and refreshing, and he doesn't waste time in the slightest, and he doesn't go around in circles.

Chang An is naturally very grateful.

"Thank you, I'm sorry Director Liu!"

"It's not a trouble, it's a duty. ”

Zhou Wei asked: "If the results of the examination tomorrow are not too problematic, when will the surgery be arranged?

The old man pushed down his glasses, "So urgent?"

Zhou Wei laughed, "Is this possible?"

"Try your best, but it's all about the kids. ”

After that, Chang An asked some targeted questions, and Director Liu answered them all concisely.

"I have another operation to go through at about two o'clock, or would it be like this today?"

Chang An was also interested, and got up to thank him.

Zhou Wei shook his hand again, "I still need Director Liu to worry more about it in the later stage." ”

"That's right... The doctor's parents can't say that they will be cured, but at least they will do their best. ”

Director Liu's words were already quite complete when he said this, Zhou Wei held his hand and patted it again, "I believe in Director Liu's medical skills and benevolence, and I will go fishing with the old dean one day when you are done!"

"This line, I'll ask Lao Wu when I go back, I've basically been selling him in the hospital for the past six months, so I have to find time to touch the fishing rod. ”

The few words brought the atmosphere to a state of familiarity and joy.

Coming out of Liu Peiqiang's office, Chang An breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Do you know, this Director Liu is difficult to invite, he used to be the vice president here, a knife in the liver and gastroenterology department, and he was hired back after retirement, I finally found out that he would go out of the clinic once a month, and last time I deliberately pinched the date and brought Xiaozhi over for examination, but I didn't even grab a number, I always thought it should be an arrogant old doctor, but I didn't expect it to be a little shelf. ”

Chang An couldn't help but talk to Zhou Xiannian about bringing Xiaozhi to see a doctor last time.

Zhou Wei smiled, "It's not fake if you don't have a shelf, but it's hard to ask for leave." ”

Chang An: "Then how did you invite him to give Xiao Zhi the main knife?"

Zhou Wei: "I found a little relationship." ”

He understated, and Chang An didn't ask in detail, but when she walked out of the building, she whispered in the back: "Thank you!"

Zhou Wei's footsteps sank and turned around.

The sun was shining brightly, and the halo fell on her face, and she stood there thin, as if she would fall when the wind blew it.

Zhou Wei felt that his eyes were sour again, so he raised his eyebrows and returned to his place to hold Chang An's hand, "Little fool, let's go." ”

Chang An accompanied him to the parking lot.

He has been delayed for most of the day, and the company calls one after another, and there is really no way to stay any longer.

"You may need to work overtime at night, I asked Xiao Zhao to come over and send you back first?"

"No need, I want to accompany Xiaozhi more. ”

"Then I'll stop by to take you when I'm done?"

Chang An thought for a while, "It's okay, but if it's too late, I'll stay here, so you don't have to rush over." ”

"Not allowed!"

“……”

"I'll come over later, wait!"

Chang An saw that his face was gloomy, and he looked like a leader giving a lecture, she subconsciously nodded: "Oh!"

Zhou Wei was satisfied, and his face was a little better.

"Alright, it's cold outside, let's go back. He helped her wrap the scarf around again, covering half of her face tightly.

Chang An couldn't help laughing, but his mouth was covered, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes, wrapped in the winter sun.

Zhou Wei suddenly felt as if everything was worth it, all these years of suffering, all these years of pain.

"What's the matter, aren't you leaving?" Chang An couldn't help but ask when he saw him standing still, his hand still on his scarf, but Zhou Wei suddenly raised his hand, rubbed his fingertips over one of her eyelids, and then leaned down, breathing hot.

On a winter afternoon, in three inches of daylight, Zhou Wei gently dropped a kiss on the tips of her smiling eyes.

"See you in the evening, Mrs. Zhou!"

Chang An stood there with all her hands, and it wasn't until other cars and pedestrians came around that she realized that she had been kissed in public.

"See you in the evening!"

She looked at the ground with her head bored, and didn't send Zhou Wei to the car, she ran away without a trace.

Zhou Wei stood there and laughed.

Three years can really change a lot of things.

She has become independent, strong, and even sometimes shows a little fierceness, this is the armor that the reality of life forced her to put on herself, but the softness and reserve in her bones are still there, just that smile just now, that expression, the original and local overlapping with Chang An three years ago.

Zhou Wei lowered his head and took a deep breath, and when Chang An ran away, he took out the car key and prepared to get into the car, but the central control had just unlocked it......

"Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Wei turned around and saw Tian Jiaqi coming from the other side of the parking space, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

Tian Jiaqi glanced in the direction where Chang An disappeared and replied, "I'll come to see Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, do you remember? ”

Zhou Wei responded, and his attitude seemed reluctant to say more, and it was rare that Tian Jiaqi didn't ask much.

……

Xiaozhi usually sleeps for two hours in the afternoon, and when she woke up, it was already past three o'clock, and the doctor arranged by Liu Peiqiang took her for an examination.

Probably to sell Director Liu's face, no need to queue, no need to wait, all the way is a green light, even the nurses in the blood collection area are extremely enthusiastic, while drawing blood and pricking needles while coaxing Xiaozhi, it is completely different from the treatment received by living in a multi-person ward a few days ago.

On the way back, even Xiaozhi asked Chang An: "Why is that nurse and aunt so gentle today?" It's not the same as when I was given a needle last time. ”

The child's eyes are always fair and bright, Chang An smiled, not knowing how to answer her question.

After the examination, I went to the ward at about half past four.

Xiaozhi sat on the bed reading a book, Chang An peeled fruit next to him, and halfway through the peeling, the child crawled over.

"An An's mother..."

Chang An looked up, "Well, what's wrong?"

"It's boring, nothing interesting at all, can you take me out for a walk?"

Chang An put down the knife and apple, "Didn't you just come back from outside?"

"No outside, always in the hospital. ”

No matter how well-behaved a child is, he also has a temper, and there are times when he loses patience to make trouble, not to mention that Xiaozhi has been admitted to the hospital for more than half a month, staying in the ward all day, during this time, in addition to physical pain, he also has to endure loneliness, which is indeed a little difficult for a child who is not yet six years old.

Chang An picked up the child and sat on the bed, "Where does Xiaozhi want to go around?"

"Outside, on the street, playground, sunflowers. ”

She said several places in a row, Chang An smiled, half-squatted down to support the thin shoulders on both sides of her, "There are so many, but you have to choose the place you want to go the most, let me ask you, where do you want to go the most?"

As a result, the little girl's eyes blinked, and she bowed her head and stopped breathing.

Chang An waited for a while, and saw that she didn't speak sullenly, "What's wrong?"

She looked up, "Did I say I could go to the place I wanted to go the most?"

Chang An smiled, "I can't guarantee it, but at least I have to say it and see if An An's mother can help you." ”

The child lowered his head again, still holding a pencil in his hand.

After a while, a timid voice said: "I want to go to school, I want to study like a child on TV..."

Chang An's heart was in a trance.

The little guy raised his head again, staring at her with sparkling eyes, but kept shaking her arm, "Is it okay?"

Chang An's heart was even more confused by her, and he was silent for a few seconds before answering: "Yes!"

"Really, really?"

"Of course, what I promised you will definitely be done. ”

"But Director Jiang said that it was difficult, could the uncle my father find help me fulfill my wish?"

……

Chang An has been in the hospital most of the time recently, so he smokes a lot less, so he found a secluded corner and lit a stick against the wall and swallowed slowly.

Xiaozhi will be six years old during the Chinese New Year, and normal children are about to graduate from the kindergarten at this age, and they will enter primary school after the summer vacation of the next year, but Xiaozhi has not even been to kindergarten for a day.

Although Sunflower also offers courses, but there are no full-time teachers, they are all part-time or volunteers to undertake teaching affairs, not to mention the level of teaching, not even a systematic curriculum, as for the future primary school, although the country has a nine-year compulsory education, but many of the children in it were discarded at birth, not even a hukou, naturally did not study willing to receive.

Xiaozhi's situation is a little better than them, at least before Ding Shouquan left, she was still a normal child, with a household registration and a household registration, so Chang An had already thought about letting her go to school a few months ago, but later she was delayed because she was too busy with work, and her illness would be found out later.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is indeed necessary to put this matter on the agenda.

It's just that Chang An is thinking about one thing, whether to simply adopt Xiaozhi back.

In the past, it was because she had no identity and incomplete documents and could not go through the adoption procedures, but now that her identity and household registration have been completed, maybe adoption will not be a problem.

Chang An feels that she may not be able to give her children a complete father's and mother's love, but at least she should try her best to let her children have a normal childhood.

This is the promise she once made to Ding Shouquan, and it is also a reward for the gift of fate.

Chang quietly smoked a cigarette and thought about something clearly, just when his mobile phone rang.

Zhou Wei's message: "I need to work overtime at night, I will solve the dinner in the hospital first, and I will contact you after it is over." ”

Chang An couldn't help but laugh after reading it, and his smile was a little bitter.

She wanted to say that she was no longer a child, and she would definitely solve it by herself when dinner arrived, but halfway through the editing, she deleted it all word by word.

How long has it been since anyone has nagged her like this, and how long has it been since she tasted the taste of being cared for?

Three years changed her fate, and almost all her attitudes and ways of life were subverted.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

In the end, Chang An replied with these words.

……

Zhou was in a good mood all afternoon, and everyone below could feel it.

After a meeting in the afternoon, he went back to the office alone, and then Deng Shunlin came and knocked on the door.

"The person who threw down the conference room last night slipped away first, this is not your style, it seems that it has become another village?"

Lao Deng rarely found an opportunity to ridicule a few sentences, mainly because Zhou Wei was too "excessive" last night.

Yesterday afternoon, I found that there were problems with several documents, from finance, legal affairs, auditing to the listing team were looking for modifications overnight, and the result was good as a boss, and when others were so busy that people turned over on their backs, he disappeared without saying a word, and then the phone could not get through, and people could not find it, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

This is really not Zhou Wei's usual style of doing things.

"If Xu Nan hadn't finally said that your wife was coming, I would have almost thought that you would have gone to Italy to feed the pigeons alone!"

"Okay, just say a few words and it's almost addictive. Zhou Wei stopped at the right time, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that he was in a good mood at a glance.

Deng Shunlin was relieved when he saw the situation.

"Don't say anything else, just ask if it's been satisfactorily resolved?"

Zhou Wei shook his head and nodded again.

What is consummation?

"There's nothing to solve, I'm already content when she comes back!"

"Well, it's best if you think so. ”

Zhou Wei smiled again, got up and leaned over and patted Lao Deng on the shoulder: "Thank you last night, you stayed up all night to help me solve the problem." ”

"Snort, after so many years with you, this awareness is still there, and I know that you are in a special period. ”

"Nacheng, continue tonight, you can help me host the video conference at 10 o'clock, I have to leave early!"

"Hey, you don't do this, are you going to get worse or are you going to take revenge?" I won't do it!" Deng Shunlin shook his face, a fifty-year-old man from the Northeast, who has become more and more like a child since he fell in love.

Zhou Wei smiled and slapped him again.

"Do me a favor, you said that I was in a special period, and I will make a big red envelope when you get married to Ye Li when you go back!"

"That's pretty much it. Deng Shunlin felt comfortable, but his eyes and eyebrows rose in the next second, "Who told you that I was going to marry her?"

Zhou Wei smiled more obviously.

"You said it yourself. ”

"When did I say that?"

"Just now!"

"You ......"

"Okay, okay, can you be like a man, and there is no shame in getting married! Get out, I still have something to do!"

“……”
