The next day.

Unexpectedly, when the company was about to get off work, Jiang Gu finally took care of the chores and looked up at the opposite side.

Jiang Zilin nestled in the sofa motionless, her eyes looking at the book in the crook of her leg, but she hadn't turned the page for a long time, and her expression seemed to be distracted.

She was absent-minded all day, and since Jiang Kexin announced the news that she was going to get married, Jiang Zilin had not laughed.

Jiang Gu gritted his teeth, and added another piece of guilt to the crown in his heart.

"Wife." Jiang Gu stepped forward.

Jiang Zilin suddenly came back to her senses, glanced up at him, and responded softly, "Huh? ”

"It's time to go." Jiang Gu said.

Jiang Zilin paused, put the book aside, got up and followed Jiang Gu out, "Are you going to eat?" ”

"Go to your favorite one." Jiang Gu said.

Favorite? Jiang Zilin's brows flashed, wasn't that on the other side of Nancheng? Now at the rush hour, it should have been two hours in the past.

"Here, bread, pad your stomach first." Jiang Gu hugged her with a smile and walked out.

"You don't have to go to that house......" Jiang Zilin smiled, understanding what Jiang Gu meant. It must have been seeing that she had been depressed for a day, and she was busy and wanted to take her to relax.

"Don't worry, you can sleep in the car and wake up." Jiang Gu helped her open the car door.

Jiang Zilin was helpless, and just as she was about to get in the car, the phone rang.

She looked down and saw that it was Zhou Zheng's.

"Hello?"

"Zilin, I just got off the plane, which hospital are I in? I'll just take a taxi! Zhou Zheng's voice was a little anxious.

It's only been two days, and he's back?

Jiang Zilin was stunned, and then said, "First Hospital, I'll wait for you at the door." ”

"Good!"

Jiang Zilin hung up the phone, shrugged her shoulders and said to Jiang Gu: "I can't eat tonight, let's buy two buns." Then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhou Zheng is back." ”

Jiang Gu also raised his eyebrows.

It can be seen that Jiang Zilin's mood has improved a lot because of this news, and she even smiled.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital." Jiang Gu said immediately.

The two got into the car, Jiang Gu accelerated slightly, and arrived after a while, sat in the car for five minutes, and finally saw a taxi parked at the entrance of the hospital.

"Here." Jiang Zilin opened the car door and shouted.

As soon as Zhou Zheng turned his head, he saw Jiang Zilin and immediately rushed forward.

Jiang Zilin glanced at him, and only felt that Zhou Zheng had changed a lot, not that his appearance had changed, he had lost a lot of weight, and he was no longer the chubby image he used to be, but he could still vaguely glimpse the honest shadow, but he was more mature and stable before.

Zhou Zheng stood in front of the hospital, saw Jiang Zilin, his eyes moved to her stomach, his lips moved, and he said, "It's about to give birth, right?" ”

"Hmm. Yaoyao is on it, I'll take you there. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded vigorously and asked softly, "How is she?" ”

"As always, I've eaten a little more in the past two days, but I still don't want to speak." Jiang Zilin said: "Have you finished handling everything over there?" So fast? ”

"I tidied up all night, and when the chef heard that I was coming back, he agreed, because the competition was over and I had learned everything I needed to learn...... In order to return to China as soon as possible, I have to make progress a little faster than others. Zhou Zheng smiled embarrassedly.

In order to return home...... Jiang Zilin glanced at him again.

Isn't it a little faster than others to lose weight like this? Probably practicing day and night, like Jiang Yao a few months ago, put all her mind on cooking.

The two entered the hospital one after the other, and when they arrived in the corridor, the atmosphere was obviously a little heavier.

Jiang Zilin could feel that Zhou Zheng had been suppressing his emotions, he was not as relaxed as he looked, but in order not to show his sadness too much, he pressed it.

"Here we are." Jiang Zilin pointed to a ward and stopped, "You go in." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, turned around and knocked on the door, and cautiously pushed in.

There was no light on inside, and it could be seen that there was a lying silhouette on the bed, very thin and small, even more than he imagined...... Also skinny. Didn't Zilin say that she had eaten more in the past two days? Why are you still so thin?

Zhou Zheng couldn't control himself, his fingers trembled, and his footsteps slowly approached.

"Yaoyao." He shouted.

The person on the bed suddenly stiffened and opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other like this for nearly a minute, Zhou Zheng's eyes instantly turned red, he stepped forward, leaned in front of Jiang Yao's hospital bed, reached out and covered his face, his shoulders trembled.

He couldn't hold back his emotions gushing out anymore, he couldn't sleep at all for the past two days, knowing that after Jiang Yao was beaten and miscarried, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of Jiang Yao curled up on the ground in pain - but imagination is imagination, and it is still different after actually seeing it.

She is so fragmented, she is so silent, she is not her at all.

How did it come to this? He imagined that after he returned to China, Jiang Yao should be standing in front of her sunny and happy, he was ready, if she told herself at that time that she had fallen in love with Goofy and liked a materially rich life, he would not blame her at all, he would bless and let go, and let her go to live the days she liked......

But now, what the hell is this...... What the hell happened to her......

Jiang Yao slowly sat up from the bed, looked at the head buried in front of her bed in a daze, opened her mouth, and couldn't tell whether what she saw was real or illusory.

She slept for a long time under the influence of the drug and her mood improved, but she was still tired. Endlessly tired...... If there are hallucinations, it is not surprising.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry...... It's me who is so selfish, you didn't tell me anything, I actually left alone......" Zhou Zheng kept blaming himself, not daring to reach out to touch her.

After a long time, a cold hand suddenly touched Zhou Zheng's, and both of them trembled.

Zhou Zheng raised his head, there were still tears on his face, his expression of chagrin never dissipated, and he looked at Jiang Yao with dark eyes.

Jiang Yao felt Zhou Zheng's body temperature and then instantly retracted his hand, stepped back, and his eyes widened.

It's him...... It's really him. It's not a dream, it's true.

She immediately reached out and pulled the quilt up, covered her head, and turned to the other side of the bed.

Zhou Zheng was taken aback by this sudden change, his heart sank, and he said cautiously: "Yaoyao, you ...... Don't you want to see me? ”

Jiang Yao didn't react.

Zhou Zheng was hit by her action, lowered his head very hurtfully, looked at the ground, kept replaying her actions just now in his mind, and was so sad that he didn't know what to say.

After a while, he stood up, "I won the championship in the competition, and this time I'm going to come back, I swear I'll always be with you in the future...... Don't worry about money, I'm rich now, and I've got a prize money from the tournament, which is enough for us to live for a long time, and I've worked hard to grow, and now I can protect you. ”

Jiang Yao's fingertips tightened on the quilt, and without saying a word, she grabbed the quilt tightly.

Zhou Zheng glanced at her, opened his mouth in a low voice, and continued: "If you don't want to see me today...... I'll come back tomorrow. ”

Jiang Yao still didn't speak.

"Yaoyao......" Zhou Zheng trembled, "Can you ...... Respond to me? It's good to say that I've been abroad for so long, and every day I survive by thinking of you. I really want to meet you. ”

There was silence in the air, no one responded, no one spoke.

Zhou Zheng pinched his fingers, tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "It's okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow." You've waited for me for so long, and now it's me, it doesn't matter if you don't want to speak, it's enough for me to tell you all my life. ”

As he spoke, he took two steps back, turned and walked out of the door of the ward, closing it gently.

Jiang Zilin stood outside, asking him the result with his eyes, Zhou Zheng lowered his head with some guilt and shook his head gently.

Jiang Zilin was stunned for a moment - didn't even Zhou Zheng's appearance have any effect? Now Jiang Yao doesn't speak, she has arranged a psychotherapist, and she also refuses treatment, and there is no entry point at all.

"But it's okay, I'll be here to take care of her from today." Zhou Zheng raised his head, cheered up again and said, "I have already thought about it just now, I will rent a house near the hospital, and the prize money of the competition is enough for me for a long time...... Wait until Yaoyao's health is a little better and she can be discharged from the hospital before making plans. ”

Jiang Zilin's eyes flashed and said: "You have just come back now, it is more important to go back to work in the restaurant first, don't waste awards abroad, we can watch Yaoyao here." ”

"I want to look at her......" Zhou Zheng's eyes darkened, and he said softly: "I missed her for so long, and now that I finally came back, she became like this...... I only hated myself for not being able to take care of her. At least let me stay with her for the rest of the time, okay? ”

Jiang Zilin was silent for a moment and spoke: "Okay, but you want to go to work, you have to tell us at any time." Jiayi and I are not busy with work anymore, and it is easy to take care of Yaoyao's affairs. ”

"Okay."
