At the end of the movie, Zhang Nanyan and Zheng Fan went home together.

She didn't dare to walk side by side with Teacher Zheng, so she quietly took two steps behind and walked behind. But Teacher Zheng noticed her backwardness for the first time, slowed down and waited for her.

Zhang Nanyan has never felt like this, with Teacher Zheng by her side, she has an unconditional sense of steadfastness and security. It seems that she doesn't have to be afraid of anything, and he will shelter herself from the wind and rain. He is like a father, like a teacher, like an idol, let her worship, and can't help but want to be close.

Her heartbeat was disorganized. She desperately admonished herself to calm down, but to no avail, her mind was chaotic and intense, completely out of her control. Her mind seemed to be at war, impulsive shouting on one side and reason pulling on the other, which gave her a great headache.

Zhang Nanyan scolded herself fiercely: "He is Teacher Zheng!" He is his most respected teacher! Don't be cranky like that! Otherwise, how can you be worthy of Mr. Zheng's care and help? ”

But she can't help but hope that this road will be longer, so that she can covet this warmth more.

Finally got home.

Zheng Fan turned on the light in the living room, and the house was cold, and it seemed that the temperature was several degrees lower, and there was no sound.

Zheng Fan said to Zhang Nanyan: "Go and rest." ”

"I have to go see Teacher Xia......," Zhang Nanyan said in a confused voice.

A hand took her arm, and a soft, deep voice whispered in her ear, "It's late, you go to sleep, I'll take care of it." ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Nanyan felt that hand was so warm, which made her want to be closer. Her body couldn't help but move closer to the past.

The people around him seemed to hesitate.

"Don't go, please, don't leave me......" Zhang Nanyan prayed desperately in her heart.

It's good that he didn't push her away.

A pair of warm hands took her arm and led her forward.

She let herself lean on, she thought, what a good dream......

Zheng Fan was a little embarrassed, but when he looked down at the little swallow crooked on his arm, he couldn't help but smile. It was too late to watch the movie today, and the little girl was sleepy.

He had no choice but to send her back to her room.

Opening the door of the room, he woke up Zhang Nanyan softly: "Go to sleep." ”

Zhang Nanyan felt like she was in a dream, in which she finally found her father, and she could be a spoiled daughter. She grabbed the corner of her father's clothes and wanted to stay by his father's side, but she left her for fear of making her father angry. She had to be obedient.

She struggled to raise her face, smiled sweetly at her "father", and walked into the room with an unsteady gait.

Zheng Fan looked at Zhang Nanyan's flattering and satisfied smile, and his heart suddenly softened, this is a poor child, as long as she is a little warm, she will be satisfied.

"Be careful." Zheng Fan couldn't help but remind, and walked into the house with one foot.

Zhang Nanyan bumped on the table, she only hissed lowly, couldn't help but cry out in pain, touched the bed, and lay down obediently.

Zheng Fan felt distressed and funny, and helped her close the door of the room.

Zheng Fan glanced at her watch, it was already past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, no wonder she was sleepy like this. He also felt sleepy and turned to go to the study to rest.

He suddenly remembered Xia Baiping, she should have fallen asleep at such a late hour.

But Zheng Fan still went to the bedroom first, and he could rest assured after seeing it with his own eyes.

He softly pushed open the bedroom door, didn't turn on the light, and looked in the living room light. It was so quiet in the bedroom that I couldn't even hear the sound of breathing. There was a thin layer of black shadow on the bed, and there was no undulation at all, as if there was no one!

However, Xia Baiping was lying on the bed, but she didn't seem to have a trace of breath.

Zheng Fan walked to the side of the bed and leaned over to look.

He saw Xia Baiping lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale without a trace of blood, and her short hair was dry, as if a plant was withering.

He reached out to check her temperature. Touching her cheek, feeling her body temperature and the slight breath on the tip of his nose, he was relieved.

He straightened up and walked out of the bedroom.

He didn't know that just after he turned around, Xia Baiping quietly opened his eyes.

She watched in silence as he left until he closed the door.

He didn't look back at her again...... Xia Baiping's sunken eyes showed sadness and sarcasm, as if mocking, "Why are you still breathing, if he really lost his breath when he tried it just now, both of them would be relieved." ”

Zheng Fan returned to the study and lay down on the single bed, but he couldn't sleep steadily, and he always felt palpitations in a blur. He thought, was he frightened by Xia Baiping's state just now, sleep, he has to continue his life tomorrow.

Half-asleep, his heart pounded and he sat up.

"That's not right! The state of the little swallow is not right! ”

Zheng Fan hurriedly got up, didn't even bother to wear slippers, and rushed out of the study.

At this time, he didn't bother to knock on the door and rushed straight into the room......

……

Zhang Nanyan was woken up by the pain, her head hurt like it was about to explode, her throat hurt like it was about to burst into flames, and her chest was so tight that she couldn't breathe.

She gasped and woke up.

At first, it was white and bright, and I couldn't see anything clearly, but gradually my vision recovered.

The first time she saw a pair of resentful eyes staring at her, her heart pounded, and she coughed, but her voice was hoarse.

"You're awake, and you're worried about breaking us." A flat voice said, "You kid, how can you have a high fever in the summer?" ”

Zhang Nanyan followed the voice and looked over, it was Xia Baiping, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, and now she was turning her wheelchair to get the water cup on the table.

Xia Baiping handed the water cup to Zhang Nanyan and said, "Drink some water and take the medicine first." ”

Zhang Nanyan took it ignorantly.

Although Xia Baiping's expression was flat, at least she was concerned, what was the matter with the resentful eyes just now?

"Take your medicine."

"Hmm." Zhang Nanyan hurriedly took the medicine, she said to herself, she must have just woken up just now, and she saw it wrong!

"You've been taking care of me?" Zhang Nanyan asked gratefully, "Thank you......"

Xia Baiping was noncommittal, just nodded and walked out of the room.

Then, I heard Xia Baiping's voice.

"She's awake, you go to work."

"I've made the meal, you must eat well. I'm leaving. ”

Doors open and close.

"Teacher Zheng went to work." Zhang Nanyan listened to the footsteps gradually disappearing.

"I'm so useless! Why do you have a fever? Zhang Nanyan secretly blamed herself.

In the past, when I was in the countryside, I didn't have cotton shoes to wear in the winter, and I slept in the cracks of the dormitory window to breathe through the wind, so I had a thin quilt, and I didn't even dare to take off my clothes when I slept at night, and my hands and feet got frostbite every year. At that time, I didn't have a cold or fever, but now my days are better, I am well fed and clothed every day, and it is almost summer, but I am sick, I am really squeamish! You can't get used to yourself like that!

Zhang Nanyan thought and tried to sit up. After getting out of bed, it's okay, my head is a little dizzy, but I can hold on.

She walked out of the room and saw Xia Baiping holding food in one hand and a wheelchair in the other.

Zhang Nanyan hurriedly greeted him and said, "Teacher Xia, I'll come." ”

Xia Baiping did not refuse, and let Zhang Nanyan take the bowl.

Zhang Nanyan walked to the kitchen and brought the food to the table.

"Teacher Xia, can you eat here?"

"Okay."

The two sat opposite each other, eating quietly, and neither of them spoke.

"Teacher Xia, thank you for taking care of me last night."

Xia Baiping didn't answer, and after a while, she said, "It's Lao Zheng who found out that you have a fever, and he went to buy you the medicine, if you don't have a fever this morning, he will send you to the hospital." ”

"It's Mr. Zheng!" Zhang Nanyan was stunned, she remembered that in her dream last night, it seemed that her "father" was by her side......

Before she could continue to think about it, the phone rang suddenly!
