Zhou Nan slowly let go of Meng Chunting's hand, and subconsciously turned his head to look away. The cold wind was howling outside the window, and in the dead of night in the ward, there was a slight sound of Chen Xi sleeping soundly around him, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Zhou Nan clearly felt that Meng Chunting's breathing was a little short, so he slowly got up to the side, turned off the headlight switch in the ward, and then turned around and said softly, "Mr. Meng, I turned off the headlights, turn on this small lamp on the bedside, you will rest, and I will call the nurse when the hanging bottle is finished." ”

Meng Chunting let out a soft "um" sound. The lights in the ward dimmed, except for a small spotlight on the head of the bed. Unexpectedly, the more this is the case, the more ambiguous the atmosphere in the room becomes.

Meng Chunting looked sideways at the snow-white wall faintly in the darkness with her eyes blurred, and since the heat of concern for that hand disappeared, a wordless and complicated sense of loss surged in her heart. This sense of loss made her suddenly feel a certain shame and panic: what was wrong with her? How could such a ...... be made for such a young youth? Heartbeat?

She was moved...... In the middle of the night, lying on this bed in the empty ward of this hospital, she was no longer the strong woman and female official who was known to be shrewd and strong, but a downright, pure, helpless and powerless patient, a weak woman who urgently needed care and comfort, and she suddenly had an urge to throw herself into Zhou Nan's arms and cry bitterly.

It's been a long, long time since I've felt this way.

It can even be said that after the beloved and equally elegant man was destroyed in a car accident, and after the loveless man left their mother and daughter to go south, her heart was completely closed by pain and smoke. For more than a decade, it has been a wordless barrenness.

But tonight, her heart moved. It is like an eternal snow-capped mountain suddenly melting, and it is like an empty desert suddenly growing a cluster of bright green...... The sprout popped up, and almost in an instant, it grew like a weed in the bottom of her heart, and in the blink of an eye, it occupied all her heart.

Thinking of her identity and age, Meng Chunting's face suddenly turned pale, and her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.

From fantasy to reality, in fact, it is just a thought.

Meng Chunting slowly closed her eyes, and two crystal tears quietly rolled down, penetrating into the snow-white pillow. This night, her heart moved, but her heart also hurt.

Zhou Nan sat there, looking at him from this field of vision and from the side, he could actually find Meng Chunting's subtle and intense emotional changes, and he faintly felt something.

The night was getting deeper.

Zhou Nan looked up and saw that Meng Chunting's hanging bottle still had a large piece before it was finished, so he got up and glanced at Meng Chunting, who closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep, and saw that her charming face and cheeks were pale, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, hesitated slightly, and then tiptoed out of the ward, went to the end of the silent corridor outside, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

Strictly speaking, he didn't know Meng Chunting, so this ambiguous atmosphere made him feel a little sudden. But between men and women, it doesn't take long for a kind of affection to grow, maybe just in a moment of staring or staring, they quietly enter each other's inner world.

Meng Chunting slowly opened her eyes and sighed faintly. What kind of ending is this for this young man, who has broken into her heart in such a strange way...... She didn't know, and she didn't dare to think about it.

……

……

As the night passed, at dawn, the corridors of the wards on the various floors of the inpatient building could be heard with the sparse sound of the patient's family talking and walking. Zhou Nan didn't close his eyes almost all night, and after Meng Chunting finished playing the hanging bottle, he was somewhat confused on the side of her hospital bed for a while.

Hearing the movement outside, Zhou Nan opened his eyes a little tiredly, and at the moment when he opened his eyes and looked up, he happened to find that Meng Chunting's soft and deep eyes were swaying with some kind of blurry brilliance. The two looked at each other for a short time, and Meng Chunting's charming face immediately turned crimson, and she hurriedly turned her head.

This purple blush makes this mature woman as shy and moving as a girl at this moment.

Zhou Nan's heart trembled, but he pretended not to see it, got up and stretched his waist, and moved his somewhat stiff limbs. At this time, Chen Xi also sat up sleepily, slipped out of bed and walked over and grabbed Meng Chunting's hand, "Mom, are you still in pain?" I'll take a look at the wound of your operation......"

As he spoke, Chen Xi lifted the quilt covered by Meng Chunting with a big smile, and was about to pick up Meng Chunting's thin hospital gown to look at her lower body, Meng Chunting slapped Chen Xi's hand lightly and subconsciously looked at Zhou Nan.

Chen Xi came back to his senses at this time, looked back at Zhou Nan with a smile, and said softly, "Brother Zhou Nan, I'm sorry, please avoid it, I want to see my mother's wounds...... It's inconvenient for men to be present. ”

Zhou Nan sighed and was about to leave the ward. Meng Chunting frowned and said angrily, "You kid, the scalpel is wrapped in gauze, what do you see?" Children, don't mess around. Chen Xi, you hurry home and wash your face and clean up, go to school, don't delay your homework. ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to take leave to accompany my mother today." Chen Xi shook his head stubbornly, "I don't worry about you, Mom!" ”

Chen Xi leaned down and kissed Meng Chunting on the forehead, looking very resolute. Her delicate and slightly immature face was filled with deep concern, and there was a faint sense of panic in her eyes.

Meng Chunting was moved, sighed softly and said softly, "Xixi is obedient and obedient, my mother is just a minor operation, and she will be fine after two days of rest." You are at a critical moment now, and you have the college entrance examination in one year, so you must not delay your homework...... With your brother Zhou Nan here, you go to school first, and then come to accompany your mother after school, okay? ”

Meng Chunting subconsciously said this, but suddenly thought about it again, who is Zhou Nan, why do people stay in the hospital and wait for their patients...... She blushed a little, and quickly turned her head, not daring to face her daughter Chen Xi's clear eyes anymore.

Fortunately, Chen Xi didn't pay attention to her subtle emotional changes at all, tilted his head and thought about it, and finally nodded, walked straight to Zhou Nan, and took Zhou Nan's hand extremely intimately and naturally, "Brother Zhou Nan, please help me watch my mother, will it be okay for a day?" Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll rest...... Okay? ”

Chen Xi originally had a considerable degree of affection for Zhou Nan, but after last night, this faint affection quietly transformed into a subconscious sense of intimacy...... This made Zhou Nan a little speechless, this little girl is really ...... Now I really don't treat myself as an outsider.

Zhou Nan smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, little girl, don't worry, hurry up and go to school, Mr. Meng will hand it over to me." ”

Chen Xi's small and tall nose twitched, glared at Zhou Nan and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a little girl, I'm in my second year of high school!" It's a big girl......"

"All right, my eldest girl...... Let's go to school this time. Zhou Nan took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "Take this money, take a taxi to buy some breakfast on the way home, and at noon you can find a small restaurant at the school gate to have some lunch, and then talk about it in the evening - after school in the evening!" ”

Seeing that her daughter Chen Xi took the money from Zhou Nan very naturally and left with a smile, Meng Chunting frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.

……

……

After Chen Xi left, the atmosphere in the ward became even more "dull". Meng Chunting turned her head to look at the white wall on one side, silent, and Zhou Nan didn't know what to say, so she stood there awkwardly.

Zhou Nan's heart flashed, and he thought to himself whether he should call Dai Long, the director of the company's office, and ask him to arrange for a few female comrades to come over to the office to help take care of Meng Chunting. It stands to reason that it is normal for the company's top leader to be hospitalized and the company's office to send someone to take care of it. If he takes care of Meng Chunting in the hospital, it will be nothing in the short term, and if it is a long time, there will definitely be some rumors.

Zhou Nan thought about it and decided to take the initiative to mention this matter to Meng Chunting.

"Mr. Meng, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something? Zhou Nan walked over lightly and said with a smile.

Meng Chunting shook her head slightly.

Mr. Meng ...... Look, am I giving Director Dai a call......" Before Zhou Nan's words were finished, he was subconsciously interrupted by Meng Chunting, "Don't tell Dai Long yet, you ......"

Meng Chunting's face turned red suddenly, swallowed the second half of her words, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "If you are busy, go to work in the company first, I can do it myself, a small operation, it's okay." ”

Zhou Nan sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he didn't answer Meng Chunting's words, went to the corner to lift the thermos, and said with a smile, "Mr. Meng, I'll go to the boiler room to get some hot water, you wait a minute, I'll ask the doctor later, can I let you eat." ”

Without waiting for Meng Chunting to reply, Zhou Nan hurriedly picked up the thermos and left the ward without his surname. He really felt that the atmosphere in the room was too abnormal, and if it continued like this, he didn't know how to continue to get along with Meng Chunting.

Zhou Nan hurried his steps, and rushed to the boiler room of the hospital in a short time.

Because it was not yet seven o'clock in the morning, the boiling water in the boiler room of the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital of Haidu City had not yet been boiled. Zhou Nan quietly stood in front of the faucet with a thermos bottle, waiting for the water to boil.

No one had come to fetch water yet, and there was silence in the open field outside the boiler room.

The subtle sound of music came from the tight boiler room, and Zhou Nan listened absentmindedly, and suddenly his heart shook. In his previous life, he also liked to listen to a little bit of sloitting, and as soon as he listened to it, he could hear that it was basically European and American style struggling music.
