Chapter 53: The Helplessness of Men

Zheng Ce and Bai Xiaoyu sat by the window in the porridge house, because it was still early at this time, except for the students who came to buy takeout and take away in the porridge house, there were no other fixed customers, and the two sat facing each other.

Zheng Ce and Bai Xiaoyu were bloodless after staying up all night, and the boss personally served soup to the two, then looked at the expressions of the two, and said loudly, "You stayed up late last night, right?" Pork liver and red date soup, replenish qi and blood, count it as mine. ”

Bai Xiaoyu tried hard to hook the corners of her lips, and said with a light smile, "Thank you, boss." ”

"Hey, what's polite to me?"

After the boss said a word, he turned around and went about other things.

Bai Xiaoyu picked up the spoon and scooped the red dates floating in the soup cup in front of her, and caught a glimpse of Zheng Ce on the other side motionless, just looking sideways at the window, she hesitated, but still raised her head and said softly, "Drink some soup." ”

"Yes." Zheng Ce responded softly, but did not turn his head sideways.

Bai Xiaoyu's heart was clogged, and there was fragrant soup in front of her, and she couldn't drink it anymore.

Silence, like a contagion, spread around the two of them.

When the boss came over again with the tray, neither of them spoke.

Putting down two bowls of preserved egg and lean porridge and four side dishes, the boss said, "Hurry home and rest when you are full." ”

Bai Xiaoyu nodded, and Zheng Ce also turned around.

After the boss left, Zheng Ce picked up the chopsticks, habitually added a lotus root slice to Bai Xiaoyu on the plate in her hand, and then said, "Eat." ”

Bai Xiaoyu's heart choked, but she finally couldn't hold back, and said loudly, "Zheng Ce......"

Zheng Ce raised his head and looked at Bai Xiaoyu, Bai Xiaoyu stopped talking with a lot of desire in her eyes, just when Zheng Ce thought that at a certain moment, maybe Bai Xiaoyu would tell him everything, she said again, "Is it difficult to deal with the affairs in the hospital?" ”

Zheng Ce's heart couldn't say whether it was emptiness or what, his thin lips opened lightly, and he opened his mouth and replied, "I don't know." ”

Bai Xiaoyu said a little anxiously, "I heard that the other party is the Zhong family, will they pursue it?" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Zheng Ce lowered his gaze, picked up the spoon, and scooped the sticky rice grains that had been stewed.

Bai Xiaoyu frowned and said, "This is about your future, how can you just say nothing?" ”

Zheng Ce's hand moved slightly, and then he looked up at Bai Xiaoyu and said, "Do you care?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu's throat choked, because of the distance, she could even see the exhaustion in Zheng Ce's eyes so clearly. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

pursed her red lips and was silent for a few seconds, before Bai Xiaoyu spoke, "Zheng Ce, even if we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, we are still friends, it's normal that I'm worried about you and care about you." ”

Zheng Ce frowned, and subconsciously said, "But I don't want to be just a friend!" ”

Bai Xiaoyu had mixed feelings in her heart, and sighed secretly, she said loudly, "Let's not discuss this matter first, okay?" ”

Zheng Ce was tired all night, her eyes were bloodshot, and she wanted him to finish eating early so that he could go back to rest.

Zheng Ce's chest rose and fell slightly, and he didn't seem to have much strength to entangle, lowering his gaze, he scooped up a spoonful of porridge, put it into his mouth mechanically, and then ate it like chewing wax.

Bai Xiaoyu is not, until today, she has never felt what it means to be human, and what was once so delicious is now because of people's different moods, and it has become tasteless.

The two fell into silent mode again, and the warm porridge, bubbling with mist, washed the expressions on each other's faces.

After eating, Zheng Ce took out his wallet to settle the bill, Bai Xiaoyu also took out his wallet, and the boss smiled and said, "Nurse Bai, let Dr. Zheng settle the bill, which of you two is with whom, don't worry about it so much." ”

After that, the boss also winked at Zheng Ce, signaling that he had helped him, but what the boss didn't know was that the most embarrassing thing now was to talk about it.

Sure enough, the expression on Zheng Ce's face was a little stiff, he didn't say anything, he just took out a hundred of them, and Bai Xiaoyu also took out a hundred of them, and said loudly, "I'll come." ”

Zheng Ce said, "Do you really want to be so clear with me?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu's hand was stunned, Zheng Ce handed the money out, and the boss collected the money and settled the bill.

After paying, the two went out of the porridge shop together, the early morning sun mixed with the fine dust in the air, shrouded the two of them together, Zheng Ce has been silent, Bai Xiaoyu had to speak first, "Go home and sleep well, don't think too much." ”

Zheng Ce looked sideways at Bai Xiaoyu and said loudly, "Where do you live now?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu had already moved out of Zheng Ce's apartment, he knew, Bai Xiaoyu replied softly, "Hotel." ”

Zheng Ce was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "With him?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu was stunned in his heart, and then said, "Myself." ”

Zheng Ce's eyes changed slightly, and he seemed to regret what he said, and he said loudly, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry." ”

Bai Xiaoyu said, "It's okay, go back." ”

She obviously didn't want to say anything, Zheng Ce saw it in her eyes, and in the end she didn't say anything, the two of them took a taxi and left, and disappeared in front of the hospital.

After Bai Xiaoyu went back to the hotel, she took a shower and fell on the bed, tired and unbearable, she closed her eyes, in her consciousness, as if she had returned to a very young age, once Zhang Zhiyuan came to pick her up, said to take her out to eat, she was very happy, the place to eat was a very famous island restaurant in Thailand, she ran out to play when she finished eating, but somehow fell into the water, when she was a child, she couldn't swim, although it was summer, but the water was still cold, that feeling, It's like the fear of death at any time......

Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan's bodyguards quickly found the drowning Bai Xiaoyu and rescued her, when the cold Bai Xiaoyu was wrapped in a blanket and brought to Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan did not ask for warmth, but just ordered his subordinates to teach Bai Xiaoyu to swim as soon as possible.

Since then, Bai Xiaoyu has learned a truth, the way to overcome fear is to find a way to conquer fear and make fear no longer a threat.

This night, Bai Xiaoyu slept very deeply, and in her dreams she always wandered in her teens, Zhang Zhiyuan found all kinds of people to teach her all kinds of skills, but ...... didn't teach her how to be a normal girl who could cry and laugh.

Buzz~~

Something kept ringing in his ears, and the disturbing sound gradually dragged Bai Xiaoyu out of the deep dream, and he opened his eyes in a daze, it was already hazy and dark outside, Bai Xiaoyu touched the mobile phone next to him and looked at it, which showed the word Zheng Ce.

After a pause, Bai Xiaoyu connected the phone, and Zheng Ce's voice came from the mobile phone, "Xiaoyu ......"

His voice was low and hoarse, obviously different, Bai Xiaoyu was completely sleepy, and couldn't help but say, "Zheng Ce, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zheng Ce said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoyu, I'm not feeling well, can you come over?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu was a little hesitant, but at this moment, Zheng Ce's coughing sound came from the mobile phone, and Bai Xiaoyu said loudly, "Are you at home?" ”

Zheng Ce hummed, and then added, "In the house where you lived before." ”

Bai Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and then said, "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll come over immediately." ”

Hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaoyu put on jeans and a white shirt, stepped on a pair of white canvas shoes and walked out.

The hotel where she stayed was not far from the hospital, fifteen minutes, Bai Xiaoyu arrived, she left the key when she left, so she could only ring the doorbell after arriving, stood at the door and rang the doorbell, and waited for a while before seeing someone come to open the door.

There was no light in the room, and Bai Xiaoyu took advantage of the light outside to see Zheng Ce who came to open the door, his cheeks were normally red, but his lips were pale.

"It's coming."

Zheng Ce turned sideways and let Bai Xiaoyu into the house.

As soon as Bai Xiaoyu raised her hand, she slapped the switch on the wall, and the room was bright, she turned her head to look at Zheng Ce and said, "Where are you uncomfortable?" ”

Zheng Ce was confused, his eyelids were heavy, and he replied loudly, "I have a headache, and when I wake up, my throat is a little speechless." ”

Bai Xiaoyu raised his hand and touched Zheng Ce's forehead, his forehead was hot, Bai Xiaoyu frowned and said, "I have a fever, I guess it's a cold, let's go, I'll take you to the hospital." ”

Fortunately, the hospital is opposite, five minutes downstairs.

Zheng Ce shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to go out." ”

Bai Xiaoyu said, "You really have a fever, the temperature is a little high, let's go to the hospital to have a look, get an injection tomorrow, don't drag it out." ”

Zheng Ce still shook his head, and said as he walked into the house, "I don't want to move." ”

Bai Xiaoyu followed him inside, Zheng Ce sat on the sofa, and after a few seconds, Xu felt lightheaded, so he simply fell down and lay down.

Bai Xiaoyu stood aside and said loudly, "You slept here just now?" ”

Zheng Ce closed his eyes and mumbled.

Bai Xiaoyu felt powerless, she turned around and walked into the bedroom, took out a blanket for Zheng Ce to cover, and then went to the cabinet under the TV to turn over the medicine, everything was so natural, and even said that she was more familiar with this room than Zheng Ce.

After feeding Zheng Ce the medicine, Bai Xiaoyu turned around and wanted to leave, her wrist was grabbed, and the hot temperature, directly through her skin, burned Bai Xiaoyu's heart, she turned her head, and saw Zheng Ce on the sofa, raised her eyes helplessly and said, "Are you leaving?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu's heart hurt, and she was silent for a while, and then she replied loudly, "No, I'll go and see what's in the kitchen, you can't take medicine on an empty stomach, I'll make something to eat." ”

Zheng Ce didn't let go, and said to himself, "You're not leaving?" ”

Bai Xiaoyu nodded, "I'm not leaving." ”

Zheng Ce nostalgically pulled Bai Xiaoyu's wrist, Bai Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll stay and take care of you, you sleep for a while, I'll cook and call you." ”

Zheng Ce heard Bai Xiaoyu's assurance, so he slowly withdrew his hand and closed his eyes tiredly.

Bai Xiaoyu turned around and walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and found that there were no other vegetables to eat except for the jam and bread she had bought earlier.
