Suddenly, He Xiao's face swayed with a burst of crispy and numb water. Before the avalanche in her heart, there was no sign of calm until Jiang Yizhe whispered in her ear.

"I'm hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and make something to eat and fill your stomach."

It seemed to be a heavy ** that fell in his head, and it suddenly broke He Xiao's train of thought. Therefore, during the period of sluggishness, she no longer had the strength to think about why she didn't build a line of defense against Jiang Yizhe.

Obviously, Jiang Yizhe had already poked her soft henchman, why didn't she even have a little emotion?

If the usual stubbornness is applied to other people, it may be possible to completely stifle Jiang Yizhe's kiss.

But......

This kind of light feeling of stepping on cotton-like clouds under your feet is not bad.

Determined in his heart, He Xiao's hands around the hamster doll tightened.

The hands of the wall clock in the living room coincide with the number 12, which is impartial. On the other side, He Xiao's parents had returned home from the night shift.

Father He, who took off his coat, sat on the sofa cushion, frowning at the cool white open in his hand, and his expression was full of gloom that did not match him. Jiang Yizhe finished pouring the water, and then sat down next to the two parents.

"It's really hard for you, Yizhe, watch over our daughter for the couple and us."

"It should."

"Xiaoxiao she, Xiaoxiao her...... Caused you a lot of trouble, didn't you? The draft of as many as one page was prepared in my heart, but it was omitted to a dozen words by He Mu.

"No, no, I should have caused you a lot of trouble."

Jiang Yizhe was ready not to mention He Xiao, but he still seemed unexpectedly surprised by Father He's next question.

"Yizhe." Father He called Jiang Yizhe softly, as if to discuss the upcoming big event, "Xiaoxiao's mother and I listened to the doctor's advice and decided to take Xiaoxiao to the hospital for a follow-up. ”

"When?"

"Tomorrow, it's better if you can come and accompany you."

Jiang Yizhe nodded, indicating that he had no problem.

"I see."

As Father Ho said, the situation began to develop according to the established trajectory.

Accompanied by her parents, He Xiao first underwent a re-examination by the hospital, and then smoothly passed the consolidation period of more than six months, although the remission of his condition was not as smooth as expected.

Before she is completely cured, the symptoms may recur at any time, and if He Xiao's illness is measured by an optimistic standard, I am afraid that it will invisibly increase her burden.

"According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the province will usher in a new round of heavy rainfall and strong convective weather in the near future, accompanied by winds of level 8-10 during thunderstorms. The Provincial Three Prevention Office and the Provincial Emergency Management Department have issued relevant notices. ”

Beep.

Xu Zhengchen picked up the remote control on the table and pressed the change channel.

"In just two months, the gang of the car theft case has repeatedly used lock picking and other methods to carry out theft in Qianxia City, and so far ......"

was caught by Zhang Yufeng: "If you have the leisure to watch TV, you might as well help my uncle come up with ideas." ”

"What's the idea?"

"Of course, it's an idea for a new dish." Zhang Yufeng was speechless to expose his mouth fetish, and in the spare time of the store's business, he had all the clues about the production of new dishes, but the progress was as usual.

"New dishes? Are you going to make the kind of dish that crackles and glows? ”

"Your uncle and I are not gold medal chefs, how can I touch the cooking skills of porcelain people." Zhang Yufeng felt that Xu Zhengchen, who could say this, was really annoying and funny.

"Oh yes." Xu Zhengchen's reply was much more crisp than asking questions.

"I'll teach you a young man a lesson later, here's a takeaway from Nanxin Building, hurry up and send it to others."

"Know the way, right?"

"Stinky uncle looks down on people again."

"Young people really don't like to listen to jokes, hehe, boys who don't have humor can't have a girlfriend."

"If you talk nonsense, your dish will be mushy."

"Wow, yes! My dish-" Seeing Zhang Yufeng, who was wearing a chef's apron, rushing back to the kitchen, Xu Zhengchen couldn't help laughing.

"The fifth floor of Nanxin Building."

Parking the battery car downstairs, Xu Zhengchen took the takeaway to the elevator to the fifth floor. He stared at the delivery address on the paper ** and muttered in confusion.

As far as he knew, the fifth floor of the building appeared to be a tutoring institution.

Suddenly, there was a string of garbled characters in the program called "Memory", which was malicious but could stuff Xu Zhengchen's throat with depression, suffocating inexplicably. Xu Zhengchen has always been very resistant to such high-rise buildings, even if he stands still, it can cause him to have an allergic reaction at the psychological level.

The quiet and energetic high-rise buildings instantly brought out the hazy dreams at the end of his mind, and he experienced the unreality again.

Bite.

The sound of the elevator arriving on the floor pulled Xu Zhengchen's almost wandering consciousness back again.

Xu Zhengchen knew the knot in his heart, and he hesitated again and again before going upstairs.

"Hey, hello, the takeout has arrived." Xu Zhengchen got out of the elevator in a good mood and dialed the phone reserved by the customer.

"Ah, just put the takeaway at the front desk, I'll go over and get it later."

"This voice is so familiar...... Xu Zhengchen hung up the phone, and the person he saw in the next second just confirmed his bad premonition.

"Gu Cheng?"

Gu Cheng, who came out of the cram school to go to the toilet, happened to pass by Xu Zhengchen. The hearty and confident face was a little darker, and it still didn't affect Xu Zhengchen's recognition of him.

"Lin Jiahan?"

"The takeout I ordered has arrived." Lin Jiahan, who appeared behind Gu Cheng, saw Xu Zhengchen's face surprised, and deliberately changed the topic to tease him.

"Ugh."

"Wait, don't get me wrong, it just so happens that Gu Cheng is an old customer here, and there are discounts for tutoring, so he took the initiative to invite me to come to the cram school to make up for the class."

"Oh, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do, so I won't delay your tutoring." Xu Zhengchen didn't plan to do superfluous socializing, and at first he was ready to put down their orders and turn to leave.

"Xu Zhengchen wait."

"Something?"

"The cram school is finished in the evening, so we might as well go out and talk." Lin Jiahan took advantage of the gap between Gu Cheng to go to the toilet and threw out the idea of a private chat between the two.

“……”

Fifth floor lobby, lounge.

"What can't you say in front of three people?"

Forcibly pulling people out to chat does belong to Lin Jiahan's style of doing things, Xu Zhengchen has known her for more than a year, so he has a good impression of her. In his opinion, there is a reason for what the other party did.

"Although what I said next may be a little offensive, I haven't had a chance to ......say it before," Lin Jiahan carefully grasped the scale of the chat, for fear of stepping on the minefield of his memory, "Even I can't accept my parents leaving." ”

"And I believe that Aunt Yao, she definitely doesn't want to see you stay where you are because of her."

"So...... If something doesn't go your way, you can call me. ”

Xu Zhengchen breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Lin Jiahan." ”

"What?"

"Thank you." Xu Zhengchen confessed his heart to her, "Put your mind back on the college entrance examination, don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”

"Dan, I'm worried about you big-headed ghost! Declare in advance, I only come to comfort you when I see your pity. ”

"Don't tell anyone what you said today."

"Have you finished talking, I'm hungry." Outside the hall, Gu Cheng's complaining voice came out, although he didn't want to waste his mood in aspects other than studying.

As soon as he was reminded, Xu Zhengchen handed over the takeaway in a daze.

"Ah, this is your takeaway, I almost forgot to give it to you."

Lin Jiahan smiled and said nothing.

"Where's that guy?" Seeing that Lin Jiahan was the only one who came back, Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask her curiously.

"God knows."

For the first time since she met Xu Zhengchen, she saw that kind of gaze, the kind of retreat that only people who chase their dreams, and the perseverance that flickered with wavering.
