Zhou Mu'an's expression was unwavering, and Zhong Zong had nothing to do with her for a while.

But he was still very stubborn, and snorted disapprovingly: "Whatever you say, there is no need for outsiders to interfere in the affairs between our brothers and sisters, I have my own way of caring for my sister." ”

Regarding Zhong Zong's pretense of toughness, Zhou Muan was also completely helpless.

Well, she is indeed an outsider in terms of social relations, but that doesn't mean she has to sit idly by.

"I don't want to interfere, but as a friend of Xiaoqing, I still want to remind you that she is suffering unknown pain every day, and if you want to make her miserable for the rest of her life, then continue to hide the truth!"

Zhou Muan no longer continued to ask Zhong Zong, and put on an indifferent appearance.

This trick is to capture the old indulgence, and through the recent contact between the two, she gradually figured out Zhong Zong's temperament.

Sure enough, Zhong Zong did eat this set, and fell into deep thought without saying a word.

Suddenly, he raised his eyes and saw that Zhou Mu'an was still standing by the bedside, and asked cautiously: "Has Xiaoqing's headache recurred recently?" ”

Zhou Mu'an flattened his mouth and asked casually: "What do you say?" Otherwise, why would I ask you about these things for no reason, I don't think about it for the sake of petty. ”

Zhong was grateful to the people who cared about his sister, and he realized that Zhou Muan had no malicious intentions, and his vigilance against him was relaxed.

"You sit down first." Zhong Zong's voice was much softer, and he paused and added to her, "I'll sort out the past things in my mind first. ”

Zhou Mu'an smiled slightly, since Zhong Zong was willing to make concessions, she would naturally wait patiently.

"Okay, you tidy up slowly, I'll wash the fruit." Zhou Mu'an said pleasantly, and walked out of the ward with a fruit plate.

Not long after, Zhou Mu'an returned to the ward, and as soon as he put down the fruit plate, he saw Zhong Zong pick up the fruit knife next to him.

"I'll peel the apple for you." Zhong Zong's tone was light.

Zhong Zong's unexpected intimacy caught Zhou Muan off guard, and she looked at him in surprise, "Why are you suddenly so kind?" ”

"You eat the apples and listen to me." The corners of Zhong Zong's lips curled slightly.

A few minutes ago, the two were arguing at a stalemate, and Zhong Zong's thoughtfulness at this time really made Zhou Muan a little uncomfortable.

However, it is always a happy thing to eat the apples that Zhong Zong peeled himself, Zhou Mu'an watched him peel the fruit with a smile, and the distance between the two narrowed a little closer.

"Click"!

Zhou Mu'an took a bite of the apple and began to listen to Zhong Zong tell about the unbearable past.

"When Xiaoqing was a sophomore, one day she suddenly called me and told me that I was in a bad mood, and it happened that I was too busy at the time, so I just comforted me casually."

Zhong Zong's voice said calmly, and when he saw Zhou Muan holding an apple and nibbling on it, he suddenly asked, "Is the apple sweet?" ”

"Sweet, would you like to taste it?" Zhou Mu'an smiled and reached out to hand the apple to Zhong Zong.

"No, you eat." Zhong Zong's face was very dark, and after a short pause, he continued: "I regret this incident, if I had gone to school to pick her up that day, maybe the misfortune that would not have happened later." ”

Zhou Mu'an nodded half-knowingly, and asked curiously: "Xiaoqing disappeared that day, right?" ”

Zhong Zong sighed lightly: "Yes, she didn't contact me again for the next three days, until the school called me to ask why Xiaoqing left school for no reason, and then I didn't know that something happened to her." ”

"And then?" Zhou Mu'an listened with relish.

"Then the whole family was looking for a little love, and they used a lot of ways, but unfortunately she was like evaporating from the world, and the only clue was that she told her roommate that she wanted to go to the bar for a drink at night."

Hearing Zhong Zong's memories, Zhou Muan quietly compared it in his mind and found that this account was completely consistent with what was written in his diary.

However, in order to hide that he had secretly read Zhong Zong's diary, Zhou Muan pretended to know nothing and asked in surprise: "How long did Xiaoqing disappear at that time?" Where did you and Uncle Zhong find her? ”

As this memory became heavier and heavier, Zhong Zong's face quietly changed, and his eyes flashed with sadness.

"Half a month later...... During that time, my dad and I were crazy, and I kept a diary every day to encourage myself not to give up, until one morning the neighbor knocked on the door and said that Xiaoqing had fainted at the door of the house......"

"Huh? Did she walk home on her own? Zhou Mu'an opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Zhong Zong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, Xiaoqing woke up after lying in the hospital for two days, but she woke up and forgot a lot of things, including the missing memory, and whenever she tried to recall, she would have a severe headache reaction." ”

"Oh, medically it's a sign of a stress response." Zhou Mu'an's thoughtful analysis.

"Maybe, we couldn't bear to see Xiaoqing tortured by this encounter, so we had to lie that she had a car accident." Zhong Zong's expression was solemn and melancholy.

After the story of the disappearance, Zhou Muan also wanted to know more about his love's past.

"And before this? For example, did she have any experience of being abandoned when she was a child? Or have you witnessed an incident such as domestic violence? She asked tactfully.

"No, Xiaoqing's early growth experience is still very happy, and my father and I love her very much." Zhong Zong's tone was particularly affirmative.

But this made Zhou Muan suspicious in his heart, and always felt that Zhong Zong had something to hide from him.

And the secrets that Zhong Zong never mentioned may be the key to uncovering the truth.

However, in order to avoid provoking Mao Zhongzong again, Zhou Muan didn't ask too much, and left the hospital after eating the apple.

The next morning.

Zhong Zong stayed in the hospital for three days because of stomach bleeding from drinking, and it was time to be discharged from the hospital in a blink of an eye.

In the morning, Zhou Muan rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, and after eating breakfast with Zhong Zong, he began to help him pack his personal belongings.

"Congratulations, you can finally be discharged from the hospital, can you talk about your feelings about hospitalization?" Zhou Muan asked jokingly while cleaning up.

Zhong Zong woke up with that cold appearance again, and responded in a voice that was neither salty nor light: "I don't have any feelings, but I don't want to be hospitalized again in the future." ”

Hearing his tone as if a prisoner was about to be released from prison, Zhou Muan couldn't help laughing, and at the same time did not forget to remind him: "Then don't drink in the future, otherwise the hospital will be your home." ”

Zhong Zong put on a tsundere face and didn't speak, and took out his mobile phone to communicate with his assistant Xiaobai about work.

After packing up his belongings, Zhou Muan saw that the nurse had already sent over the completed hospitalization procedures, and then he remembered another thing.

"Oh, Xiaoqing also said to pick you up and discharge from the hospital, why hasn't she come over yet......"

muttering in his mouth, Zhou Muan only heard hurried footsteps in the corridor, and soon stopped at the door of the ward.

Since the last time she loved to do hypnotherapy behind Gu Yanze's back, her mental condition has been very poor, and there is no problem on the surface, but she will be plagued by insomnia and dreams every night.

She had planned to wake up at seven, but she didn't open her eyes until half-past nine.

rushed to the hospital in a hurry, Zhong Qing slammed the door open, and greeted the two of them breathlessly: "I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you waiting!" ”

Looking at the appearance of Zhong Qing's servant, Zhong Zong felt sorry for his sister and pretended to be angry: "What are you anxious about this little thing, besides, I am just discharged from the hospital, and you don't need to come here." ”

Seeing that Zhong Zong didn't appreciate it, Zhou Muan took his affectionate hand and replied: "We still don't care about you, it's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

With her to help him speak, he can't help but feel that it's good to have a good girlfriend by his side, and Zhou Muan is likely to become his future sister-in-law.

"Mu An is right, no one will take care of you when you get sick again in the future, let you experience what it means to be desolate in the world." Loved to fight back triumphantly.

In terms of bickering, Zhong Zong must be willing to bow down in front of the two, and he simply raised his hand and surrendered in line with the idea that a good man does not fight with a woman.

"Then thank you for your care and concern, I am very touched, so let's get out of the hospital early!"

Zhong Zong said in a lazy tone and left the ward with the hospitalization procedures.

However, when they arrived at the gate of the hospital, Zhong Qing also planned to let Zhong Zong invite them to lunch, so as to enhance the relationship between him and Zhou Mu'an.

I didn't want to be an assistant Xiaobai, but I drove over, opened the car door and looked at Zhong Zong respectfully, "Mr. Zhong, please get in the car, the afternoon meeting is arranged." ”

Zhong Zong exuded an aura of a business elite all over his body, and said succinctly: "Okay, go back to the company immediately." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhong Qing and Zhou Muan looked at each other.

"Brother, what should we do then?" Zhong Qing stepped forward and pouted and asked.

"You guys look at it yourself, there's a lot of work backlog waiting for me to deal with these days." Zhong Zong shrugged his shoulders, a face that didn't matter to me.

With that, he said hello coldly, got into the car, and drove away under the gaze of the two girls.

After Zhong Zong left, Zhong Qing was also a little embarrassed in front of Zhou Muan.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my brother to be so excessive, he actually left us here and left......" Zhong reluctantly apologized.

People in love often regard each other's shortcomings as advantages, and Zhou Muan can't escape this law either.

She smiled leisurely, with a full understanding of Zhong Zong in her tone: "It's normal, your brother is in charge of everything, he is also for the company, we should support him behind the scenes!" ”

Zhong Qing was already stupid, she hadn't finished complaining here, but she didn't expect Zhou Muan to blame Zhong Zong at all.

If Zhong Zong heard Zhou Mu'an's words, would he be moved to propose to her on the spot?

"Don't you think he's a workaholic?" Zhong asked incredulously.

Zhou Muan's expression was full of self-absorption, "What does it matter if you are a workaholic, it is a good thing for a boy to be ambitious, it is better than those playboys." ”

The topic about Zhong Zong ended here, and Zhong Qing hurriedly jumped the topic and pulled her to go shopping, so as not to be infected by Zhou Mu'an's disease.

However, love still made a mistake, even if the two of them went shopping leisurely, Zhou Mu An was still "your brother" long and "your brother" short all the way.

After the two had lunch together, they couldn't stand Zhou Mu'an, so they had to flee home to draw comics.
