Hotel room.

Zhou Tingyu took out a small bag of ice from the refrigerator and pressed it on Cheng Xiaoran's wound, which made her grin for a while.

"Shhh

"If it hurts, you should have a long memory, and don't do such stupid things in the future."

Cheng Xiaoran wiped the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with her nose in her hands: "I knocked her chin crooked, and I don't lose anything." ”

Zhou Tingyu was almost provoked to laugh out loud by these words.

This woman, smart and full of thoughts, stupid and pitiful and cute, is really helpless.

"You're afraid you won't be able to go out, stay in the hotel today and wait for me to come back."

"Mr. Zhou, how long will it take for my face to become swollen?"

"At least three days."

Cheng Xiaoran drooped her head in frustration, "I still want to learn something from Mr. Zhou, but I can't learn anything this time." ”

Zhou Tingyu raised her eyebrows and handed her a stack of documents next to the bed, "This is a copy of the information and contract of this case, with your professional level, you should be able to understand it." ”

"Huh? But isn't this a company secret? ”

"For everyone else, it's really confidential." Falling here, a gleam flashed in the man's eyes.

Cheng Xiaoran was stabbed in the heart, didn't notice his eyes, and felt extremely ashamed of the man's trust.

If one day, Zhou Tingyu knew that he was a spy sent by the Cheng family, he would definitely be disappointed, right?

"Okay, have a good rest, I'll go back to Fang's head office first."

"Hmm."

Zhou Tingyu touched her hair, got up and left the room, the door was gently closed, Cheng Xiaoran opened the folder, and found that it was indeed full of important information about this case.

Cheng Tianchong wants that's all he wants, right?

If I send it now, will my mother be saved?

But she had already betrayed once, how could there be a second time?

Cheng Xiaoran lay restless on the bed. I don't know how to choose.

Ding——

The phone rang, she didn't have to look to know who it was, pressed the answer button, and sighed: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Ask you how you're doing, of course."

"Cheng Tianchong, I don't have time to play with you all the time, let's open the skylight and say something, if I give you this contract, how much can you give me that medical file?"

"Since you are so direct, then I will not go around in circles, I will send the one that your mother needs most for the time being to the hospital."

What do you need the most for the time being?

At least mom can put it off a little longer.

"Xiaoran, you can't hesitate to do this kind of thing, if you think about it for one more day, your mother's situation will be serious for one day, be obedient, or send all the information over obediently."

Cheng Xiaoran's fingers holding the mobile phone were already a little white, and she was silent for a long time, and said desperately: "Okay." ”

When her mother recovers, she will use this life to repay Zhou Tingyu, which she owes him.

The phone was hung up, Cheng Xiaoran took a photo of the information on the contract, hesitated for a long time, and finally sent it to Cheng Tianchong.

"Very good, when this land is officially in hand, I will give you what you want as agreed."

The text message stung Cheng Xiaoran's eyes, and she buried her face in the quilt and sobbed silently.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Tingyu returned to the hotel on time and put the lunch box in his hand on the table, "Come and eat something." ”

Cheng Xiaoran didn't have much appetite, "Mr. Zhou, I'm not very hungry. ”

"Eat if you're not hungry."

"Oh." In order not to make the owner angry, Cheng Xiaoran got out of bed slowly, and when she saw the things on the table, her eyes widened in shock, "Aren't these dishes only available in the city where I am in college?" ”

"Well, when I came back, I brought a little bit when I saw it, I don't know if the taste is authentic, try it."

Cheng Xiaoran hadn't eaten these dishes since she returned to H City, she took a bite of salt-and-pepper pork ribs excitedly, and her eyes instantly lit up a lot, "The taste is exactly the same!" Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou. ”

"No, you eat first, I'll take a bath."

"Hmm!"

Ignoring the injury on her face, Cheng Xiaoran ate happily, and when she filled her stomach, there were only a few empty boxes left on the table.

Zhou Tingyu sat on the sofa and wiped her hair, seeing that the corners of her mouth were full of oil, she chuckled lowly, "It's so delicious?" ”

"Taste is secondary, the important thing is this familiar feeling, although Z city is not as big as H city, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the pace of life is much slower than here, it is a very suitable place to live."

"If you like it, you can buy a house there in the future and go and live there for a while once in a while."

Cheng Xiaoran wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and did not respond to this sentence.

She leaked this contract, she shouldn't be able to stay with a man for long, and now every day together, she will cherish it extraordinarily.

"Mr. Zhou, has this piece of land been won?"

"It's already in the process, and the results will be available in a week at most."

"And when are we going back?"

"You don't like that?"

Cheng Xiaoran shook her head, thought about it, and nodded again, "I want cookies." ”

The fat cat didn't know how it was taken care of by Secretary Li.

"Well, then I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay."

hugged each other and slept together, and the next day Cheng Xiaoran opened the curtains and was startled by the white of the world outside.

"Mr. Zhou, it's snowing outside!" This year's snow came too early, and it was only late autumn, and it was not yet winter.

Zhou Tingyu walked to the window and looked at it for a while, "It hasn't snowed in H City for three years. ”

"Mr. Zhou, do you want to go out and step on the snow? Look below, there are a lot of kids building snowmen. ”

"Too naïve." His time is valuable and he would never waste it on such pointless things.

Cheng Xiaoran grabbed his palm, "How can this be considered naïve, Mr. Zhou, come and take a look with me, okay?" ”

The little woman's eyes were so pitiful that Zhou Tingyu couldn't resist, so she had to hug her, "It's all like this on your face, aren't you afraid to go out and be laughed at?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I'll just wear a mask."

"Well, let's change your clothes."

"Good!"

They each wore thick cotton clothes, and Cheng Xiaoran also wore a scarf in order not to be ashamed, half of her face was covered at this time, and she didn't need a mask.

Taking the elevator downstairs and stepping on the rustling snow, she squinted her eyes in enjoyment, "Mr. Zhou, it won't snow in Z City, this is the first time I've stepped on the snow as an adult." ”

"Let's go ahead and have a look."

"Hmm."

The hotel is near a small area, and many children are taken out by adults to build snowmen, but most of them are crooked and not too good-looking.

"Mr. Zhou, let's pile one too, right?"

"Hands will be cold."

"It's okay, I have gloves!" It's rare to have such a good opportunity, Cheng Xiaoran said to do it, bent down and quickly piled up two snowballs high up, and the shadow of the snowman could be vaguely seen.

"Sister! You snowman looks better than ours, this turnip lends you! ”

"I'll give you this stone too, you can use it as an eye!"

A group of half-grown children gathered around Cheng Xiaoran, and she took it with a smile and embedded it in the snowman's face.

Looking at her work with satisfaction, she turned her head and asked, "Mr. Zhou, is it good-looking?" ”

Her nose was red from the cold, and her hair was covered with snow, but her smile was very sweet, Zhou Tingyu's heart trembled, and she rarely returned a smile, "Well, it's good." ”

"Let's take a picture!" Cheng Xiaoran came to his side, took out his mobile phone and pressed the camera button.

Many years later, when she stood on the streets of a foreign country, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth when she saw this photo.

That self who laughed like a fool was perhaps the happiest time of her life.

"Go back, don't catch a cold."

"Okay."

After playing for a while, it was almost ten o'clock, the two of them had a casual meal and drove to the central area.

Although the heavy snow has stopped, there is still a thin layer of ice on the road, so Zhou Tingyu's car is not fast, starting at noon, and arriving at the apartment at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Cheng Xiaoran opened the door, and she didn't see the owner's biscuits for a long time, and rubbed them affectionately on her legs.

"Meow~"

Cheng Xiaoran smiled and hugged it, "Little biscuits, did you eat canned food today?" ”

"Meow."

"Liar, you must eat it, so Secretary Li won't starve you."

The cat touched her cheek a few times, and Cheng Xiaoran put it into Zhou Tingyu's arms, "Mr. Zhou, you hug it too, it's fatter than before." ”

Zhou Tingyu didn't like this kind of stuffy thing very much, but it was all in his arms, and he couldn't throw it out again.

He held the cat a little stiffly, his expression tense, "It's fat." ”

"Mr. Zhou, you hold it first, and I'll pack my luggage."

"Hmm."

After sorting out the things she took out, Cheng Xiaoran was lying on the sofa, there was a variety show on the TV that was not too good-looking, and the man was sitting beside her, reading the newspaper seriously.

"Mr. Zhou, are you hungry? I'm going to cook something. ”

"Are you hungry?"

Cheng Xiaoran touched her stomach, "It seems to be a little." ”

The man put down the newspaper in his hand, "I'll go cook a bowl of noodles." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Xiaoran sat up nervously, "Don't do it, I'll do it myself." ”

She didn't want to be burned down in the kitchen on the first day she came back.

Zhou Tingyu ignored her, got up and went directly into the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, a bowl of steaming noodles was served, although the appearance was not too good, but it was enough to shock Cheng Xiaoran.

I didn't expect Mr. Zhou, who was calling for wind and rain in the business world, to cook noodles, which is really rare.

"Eat."

Cheng Xiaoran nodded, grabbed the chopsticks and tasted it, as she expected, it was salty and dry, and the taste was really not good.

"What? Not tasty? ”

"No, it's delicious." Cheng Xiaoran pursed her lips and chuckled, and buried her head in eating a bowl of noodles cleanly.

Anyway, this is the first time a man has cooked for her, not to mention that it is just unpalatable, even if it is poisoned, she will eat it with her eyes closed.

To fill her stomach, Cheng Xiaoran went to the kitchen and drank three glasses of water before she diluted the salty taste in her mouth, and she seriously doubted whether this person had taken salt as MSG.

After washing the dishes, she went back to the living room to sit, the cat "purred" and rolled on the ground, this comfortable and leisurely feeling was something she had never felt in Cheng's house.

"Mr. Zhou, it's almost ten o'clock, it's time to rest."

Zhou Tingyu pinched his eyebrows, "Well, I am expected to be very busy in the next two days, you stay at home by yourself, don't go out and run around." ”

"Okay."
