The shouting and scolding came and went, and Lin Yushan couldn't help but turn around and walk towards the gate of the basketball court.

"Will you try another one?"

Xin Zhi was pushed by his teammates by the collar, and another boy on the team walked towards him angrily, holding him down on the shoulder, and slammed his head into his forehead.

This is a provocation on the verge of a group fight.

Xin Zhi's figure was already thin, and he was knocked into the eye, and he staggered back two steps. Seeing this, the others immediately rushed up.

Lin Yushan gritted her teeth, she really couldn't see this kind of scene.

She involuntarily took a few steps forward and was stopped by Yao Qing.

Yao Qing saw that she wanted to go in to help, and hurriedly dissuaded, "Don't be impulsive! I know you're upset about him, but they're only freshmen, and we're both graduating. Don't be nosy! Have you forgotten the consequences of the fight with Jiang Wenjun and the others before? ”

"What the hell! When I don't exist anymore? Can you do whatever you want during your breaks? A loud male voice rang out in the room.

A group of people looked at the instructor walking towards this side with a serious expression, and then they let go of their hands.

The instructor stared at the group of freshmen who had just entered the school, and said unhurriedly: "It's dinner time, and now the stadium is going to close." It's all scattered! ”

Several boys glared at Xin Zhi fiercely, and everyone scattered one after another.

Xin Zhi still looked like he didn't care about others, wiped a handful of blood from his nose, and walked straight out of the basketball court.

He lowered his head and walked extremely fast, and bumped into Lin Yushan, who was standing aside.

"Classmates. Give you a tissue, wipe it. Lin Yushan didn't blame him, took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it to him kindly.

Xin Zhi raised his head and saw the person in front of him, his eyes flashing.

His expression was still indifferent, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect someone to show favor to him.

Seeing that he didn't move, Yao Qing on the side simply took a tissue from Lin Yushan's hand and stuffed it into Xin Zhi's hand, and he had to take it steadily.

Lin Yushan looked at him with some concern, not knowing what to say. It's a pity that they are just strangers, and they can only go so far.

"Let's go." Yao Qing tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered in her ear.

Lin Yushan nodded and turned to leave.

Xin Zhi raised the pack of flower-scented tissues in his hand and looked at it, and then looked blankly at the tall and slender girl in the distance, standing in place for a long time.

Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School, night.

It's been almost a month since the start of school, and Xu Mengzhou has gradually adapted to the work rhythm of the senior class teacher.

It's the last evening self-study, and the classroom is silent, the students are doing their questions seriously, and the man is sitting at the podium and opening his notebook to concentrate on writing materials.

The phone on the podium began to vibrate. Xu Mengzhou glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone and stood up.

The man explained to the disciplinary committee members sitting in the first row against the wall, telling him to be optimistic about discipline. Then he walked out of the classroom and answered the phone.

Xu Mengzhou leaned on the railing of the stairwell to relieve his fatigue, and his tone was very bright, "Well, it's not a night of self-study." ”

He listened carefully for a moment, then comforted the phone: "It's okay, don't be too stressed." You're going to apply for a student loan. There is no interest and no time limit, so you can pay it for as long as you want. ”

The two talked on the phone. Xu Mengzhou glanced at his watch, and there were still ten minutes before the end of the last evening self-study class, so he proposed to interrupt the call, "Okay, then let's do this first, you can find me if you have any questions." ”

After the bell rang for the end of class, Xu Mengzhou routinely explained the safety issues, and the students left one after another. He was left alone in the classroom to finish the unfinished material, and it was half past ten in the evening.

The man put his notebook in his backpack, packed it up, and went downstairs to leave the school.

At the end of September, Jingzhou City ushered in the first major cooling of this autumn.

Late at night, the cool breeze pervades the streets. Xu Mengzhou gathered the jacket on his body, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and walked slowly while reading WeChat.

In the mobile phone was a message sent by Lin Yushan at 10:20.

Lin Yushan: [Did you study next night?] For dinner at Qingqing's today, we made cola chicken wings and stir-fried pork with green peppers. ]

He remembered that when Lin Yushan was in high school in the past, after coming back from the weekend, he always liked to report to him what he had eaten, just like military training.

Xu Mengzhou looked at the screen, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile that he hadn't noticed.

He immediately replied: [Just got off, and is on his way back now.] Slept? ]

When the message was sent, the man's pace couldn't help but speed up.

Although he lives next door, it has been a long time since he has met Lin Yushan and had a hot meal.

I miss her a little.

Fortunately, from the last time she was admitted to the hospital, she has been taking medicine uninterruptedly, and her condition has gradually stabilized.

The day after tomorrow is the National Day holiday, and he plans to take Lin Yushan on a self-driving tour in the surrounding provinces. She had a lot of fun on her last trip to Altay, and travel was a good medicine to help her relax.

After a while, he walked to the Huachen Mansion. Xu Mengzhou got out of the elevator and stood still at the door.

The man glanced at his phone, but there was still no movement.

Xu Mengzhou listened quietly, even though the corridor was very quiet, he couldn't hear any noise inside the door.

I should have slept, after all, it's eleven o'clock now.

Really wanted to see her.

Even if... Just touch her hair.

Xu Mengzhou's chest was stuffy, pacing back and forth at the door. I don't know how long this silent torment passed, and he even put his hand on the doorknob and tried to unlock it with his fingerprint.

The man was taken aback by his own thoughts. I rubbed my fingers on the doorknob for a moment, but I still put it down.

He took advantage of the fact that his sanity was not completely offline, and quickly opened his door.

When I got home, I still took my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower as usual. The whole space is filled with water vapor, and the body and mind are slightly relaxed after a tiring day.

The phone on the coffee table vibrates. Xu Mengzhou reached out and picked up the bath towel hanging on the side, wiped his hair and walked to the living room.

Before he could answer, the shaking stopped. He went under the TV cabinet to find a hair dryer and sat on the sofa to dry his hair.

He holds a hair dryer in one hand and unlocks his phone with the other. Call logs show that there were several identical missed calls in just five minutes.

A name that has not appeared in life for a long time suddenly appears in the call record at this moment. Xu Mengzhou put down the hair dryer, picked up his glasses from the coffee table and put them on, confirming that he was not mistaken.

His eyes twinkled. After a moment of silence, click on the number to call back.

-----

Early the next morning, Xu Mengzhou drove out.

He said hello to Zhang Xiaojing and asked her to switch classes with him. Zhang Xiaojing also agreed happily. I barely managed to squeeze out a morning.

The car drove all the way to the hospital's underground garage. He bought some things near the hospital and went to the neurology inpatient department on the thirteenth floor with condolences.

Xu Mengzhou was just about to knock on the door, and a few middle-aged people in formal clothes walked out of the ward, and he saw a few familiar faces, which should be the people from the power company who came to condole.

This is a single room. As soon as he pushed the door open, his eyes fell on Huang Ying's father.

Huang's father was lying on the hospital bed, with an oxygen tube in his nose, his eyes open but motionless. The bedside table was piled high with flowers and condolences.

I haven't seen him for almost a year, and Father Huang has changed from a tall leader to the thin appearance he is now. There was a companion standing next to the bed, slowly turning the old man over.

When Huang Mu saw Xu Mengzhou coming, she immediately got up to greet her.

Huang Mu's appearance is much haggard than before, but her clothes are still exquisite. She put aside the condolences she had received, and pulled Xu Mengzhou to sit down on the sofa.

I haven't seen the two old men for a long time, and Xu Mengzhou is a little rusty. But he still asked what illness Huang's father had and what his condition was now.

"Alas... The old man suddenly had a cerebral infarction, and the doctor said that he was in a very bad condition. Huang Mu looked at the thin man on the bed, couldn't help but sobbed quietly, and sighed: "Our family is not short of money, but even if we spend more money now, it won't help......"

Huang's mother has already said this, he knows that Huang's father lying on the bed is likely to be more than lucky. Xu Mengzhou had no choice but to choose some comforting words to let Huang's mother relax.

He looked around, there were only four people in this ward plus the escort, and asked suspiciously, "What about Huang Ying?" ”

Huang Mu was stunned, with an obviously unhappy look on her face.

"It's been a month since her father's cerebral infarction, and she has only come once on the night she was sent to the hospital. We arranged her job for her, and she was not busy at all, but she still said repeatedly that she couldn't take a break from work and couldn't come to see her father. ”

The more Huang Mu spoke, the more angry she became, she shook her head again and again, her tone was full of hatred for iron and steel, "But even on weekends, she has to find a reason to prevaricate." We... How did the two of us give birth to such a daughter......

Xu Mengzhou was silent. He knew that Huang Ying was selfish and cold, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless in the face of her biological parents.

Huang Mu took out a tissue and wiped her tears tremblingly, looked at Xu Mengzhou and said, "I couldn't help it when I called you last night." The doctor said that the old man could leave at any time, and now he is hanging on to his life with instruments......"

She held Xu Mengzhou's hand and said sincerely, "It's because the two of us have doted on her since childhood that we have become what we are today." We apologize to you......"

"Auntie, don't do this." Xu Mengzhou stopped her, "The past is over." ”

The tip of Huang Mu's nose was sour, "Child, good child." You don't call me mom anymore......"

Xu Mengzhou was speechless for a while. Now that Father Huang is like this, he can't say anything to stimulate the second elder.

"Her father and I have always thought that you are a good boy, but Huang Ying doesn't know how to cherish it. She must have broken your heart before you insist on divorce. I admit that I had some disdain for your family, especially your father......"

"But after you got married, the two of us only understood your goodness a little bit, but it's a pity that Huang Ying is still obsessed with it, so she has to go outside to find ...... It's our fault that we don't educate our children well. ”

Although Huang Ying's character is not good, Xu Mengzhou knows her parents' personality. Although there was some bureaucratic arrogance in the past, he could be regarded as a reasonable person.

"Children, you should understand that parents want their children to be well. We have a daughter in Huang Ying, and I really can't rest assured that she is like this now. If one day my dad and I both go, and she still doesn't go down like this, she will ruin herself! ”

Huang Mu's eyes flashed, looking at Xu Mengzhou expectantly, "What if... If only you could remarry! I sincerely apologize to you for Huang Ying! I promise that as long as I am still in the power company for one day, I will spare no effort to help Xinneng Group stand tall in Jingzhou. ”

Mother Huang looked at Father Huang, who was described as withered on the sickbed, and burst into tears, "Child, you are a pure and good child!" Only by handing over the yellow tree to you can I rest assured...... Please, can you let the old man see the two of you remarry before he leaves, so that he can be blinded when he dies! ”

Xu Mengzhou's brows tightened more and more.

Huang's mother let go of her previous high profile, and her words were full of a mother's strong love for her daughter. He also knew that she really wanted to seek a stable future for her daughter at the moment.

But he and Huang Ying have long been unable to go back to the past, and he doesn't want to go back at all.

Moreover, this love can only be called love for Huang Ying, but it is a complete kidnapping for herself.

Xu Mengzhou avoided Huang Mu's expectant eyes, but her hands were tightly clenched by her.

The sound of high heels hitting the ground is far and near, even in the quiet of the hospital.

The door to the ward was pushed open. Huang Ying's figure was curling, and his fingers hooked a pair of cat-eye sunglasses and walked in.

Her eyes fell on Xu Mengzhou, her expression surprised.

“… What are you doing here? ”
