Not Spare the Years

in the ward.

Mu Xueyi was a little surprised by Shen Huaixing's visit, she pulled the stool next to her, "How could the teacher know that I'm here?"

As soon as Xiao Ai heard her calling for the teacher, she quickly said to buy fruit and ran away in a hurry.

Shen Huaixing sat down and smiled at Mu Xueyi: "My friend happens to be the attending physician in charge of you. I happened to know that you are hospitalized here when I was helping him deliver things today, so I came to see it. What happened the day before yesterday... I always wanted to talk to you about it. You say sorry, I took you to the bar, but it turned out to be another person..."

Mu Xueyi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I knew her from the beginning."

Shen Huaixing didn't turn his head to get the water glass on the bedside table, and when he took it, he seemed to ask casually:

"You... do you like her?"

After all, it was the woman she subconsciously approached when she was drunk, not herself.

Mu Xueyi was stunned for a moment, instinctively trying to hide it.

But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't spit them out. She immediately couldn't help but smile bitterly. She always concealed her attitude from outsiders. She must have hurt Zhou Zhenyue many, many times in her previous life.

"Yes, I like her."

This time, she tried to say these words with a calm attitude.

After speaking, I felt a certain place in my heart relax, and at the same time there was another kind of throbbing in my heart, scratching restlessly. It turns out that even the most cheeky person will be a little embarrassed when they show their love for their beloved.

boom-

The just poured water glass fell from Shen Huaixing's hand and smashed on the bedside table with a small sound.

Mu Xueyi hurriedly sat up and found a towel from the side and handed it over.

Shen Huaixing took a towel to wipe the water, his fingers and eyelashes trembled. She wiped the water, was silent for a long time, and then asked, "...do you like her as much as you liked me?"

Mu Xueyi lowered her head and pondered for a while, thinking about it, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised a little arc.

"How do I say it... I liked the teacher back then, and it was simply pure and pure love. But for her..."

She pursed her lips and focused on the place where Zhou Zhenyue had just sat.

After a brief silence, she muttered to herself:

"There is a kind of person that you can clearly understand from the first time you meet. You are not the same traveler. You know that there are many barriers, and even if the time comes over again, it is difficult for you to have a result, but... I still think I have to accompany her for a while, and then for a while..."

"For her, it doesn't matter if your father and sister are enemies, and it doesn't matter if you sign a contract without dignity. You may have to do a lot of things in the future that are not based on principles and bottom lines. It doesn't matter."

Mu Xueyi smiled and looked at Shen Huaixing, "Teacher, that's how I like her."

Shen Huaixing gritted his teeth, and his fingers tightly clenched the sheets on the edge of the bed.

She asked again, "So are you two together now?"

Hearing this, Mu Xueyi's eyes drooped slightly, and the bottom of her eyes couldn't help but gloom.

"No. I always feel like...she doesn't...like me that much."

On the day I ran away from home with a fever, the cold wind that I had been blowing at the intersection for several hours did not wait for her to pick me up. A five-year contract that lost her personal freedom, she forced herself to sign it regardless of her feelings. Pneumonia broke out last night, and she didn't rush over to see herself as soon as possible.

How can you really like someone?

Her mind wandered a little.

After chatting with Shen Huaixing, she was also distracted. After a while, Shen Huaixing could see her absent-mindedness and knew that it would be meaningless to continue chatting this time, so she took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

When leaving, Shen Huaixing stared at Mu Xueyi, and suddenly asked very lightly, "As long as you two are not together, I have a chance, right?"

Mu Xueyi was in a trance for a moment, but couldn't hear clearly: "What?"

Shen Huaixing smiled, said "nothing", turned and left.

Not long after she left, Xiao Ai hurried back with the fruit she just bought, the phone screen in her hand was a white and green WeChat interface.

Seeing Mu Xueyi, she didn't even bother to ask why Shen Huaixing didn't see anyone, and directly informed Mu Xueyi: "Mr. Zhou said she won't come back."

Mu Xueyi sat up: "Why? Didn't you say you'll be back in half an hour?"

Xiao Ai shook her head: "I don't know."

Mu Xueyi opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Her gaze fell on the place where Zhou Zhenyue had just sat.

A hospital on the other side of the city.

Zhou Fengnian slowly bit the apple in his hand and was browsing the news on the phone in his palm. Zhou Zhenyue sat on the stool beside the hospital bed, quietly peeling another apple.

Zhou Fengnian suddenly smiled when he looked at his mobile phone: "The news said that M Moser's chief financial officer was anonymously reported by an insider this morning, M Moser was intervened by the tax bureau, all business was suspended, and the original plan to go public next month was suspended. The deadline has been postponed, and general manager Mu Ruqing is also under investigation."

He took off his reading glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "...that anonymous whistleblower is yours, right?"

Zhou Zhenyue didn't speak, just threw a piece of apple peel into the trash can, and the jade ring on her index finger shook the cold light of the chandelier.

Zhou Fengnian sighed: "I'm catching up with the limelight recently, and that girl Mu Ruqing is going to get into a lot of trouble. You, you, why are you cheating on others?"

Zhou Zhenyue's face was calm: "She won't make my people feel better, and I won't make her feel better either."

Zhou Fengnian was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a moment, "...A few days ago, she dragged Xueyi from a fever to pneumonia."

The old man suddenly realized that he nodded: "Oh - it was to vent anger to Xue girl!"

Zhou Zhenyue lowered her eyes and twisted her tone a lot: "It's better to say, it's to vent my anger."

Zhou Fengnian: "Why do you say that?"

There was a half-smile on her lips, as if she was laughing at herself: "It's obvious that she was bullied, but now she's angry... but it seems that I'm the only one."

Zhou Fengnian patted the back of his granddaughter's hand kindly.

In the old man's generous palm, the knuckles of Zhou Zhenyue's fingers were icy and hard.

The door of the ward was knocked "dong dong dong", and Xiao Ai's voice came from outside the door:

"Mr. Zhou?"

The grandfather and grandson didn't talk anymore. Zhou Zhenyue put down what was in her hand and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I unexpectedly saw a woman who was not supposed to be here. Long curly hair, drooping eyes, and a tape with a hanging needle on the back of the hand folded in front of the lower abdomen.

Zhou Zhenyue looked at Mu Xueyi for two seconds, her brows seemed to stiffen for a moment, and it seemed that nothing was out of the ordinary. Her expression was still calm, and she asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

The smile on Mu Xueyi's face was a little embarrassing: "I... shouldn't I come here to find you?"

Zhou Fengnian, who was on the hospital bed, sat up straight and looked out. After seeing the face of the person who came, he smiled brightly:

"Oh, my granddaughter-in-law is here! Hurry up, hurry up, bring it in!"

Zhou Zhenyue didn't say anything more, she just said three words lightly: "Act better."

When the words fell, she took the initiative to hold Mu Xueyi's hand when she turned around.

When Mu Xueyi was held, her heart trembled. She looked at Zhou Zhenyue's five fingers covering the back of her hand. It also climbed into the softest place in my heart.

When Zhou Zhenyue held her, every finger was habitually tender.

After walking to the side of the hospital bed, Zhou Fengnian took Mu Xueyi's hand from Zhou Zhenyue's hand, held the old and soft palm and kept rubbing it, smiling and sighing: "It's good, it's good, after so many years, You're finally back."

Mu Xueyi listened, feeling more and more guilty, "Grandpa, I..."

Zhou Fengnian saw her hesitant to say anything, and the old man didn't ask anything, he only asked her about her physical condition and new things over the years, as if she was his own granddaughter.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Fengnian asked again, "Is Crescent Moon as good to you as before?"

Mu Xueyi nodded: "Okay, very good."

Zhou Fengnian clapped her hand, "It's better. Look, we've been talking for so long, she just sits next to you without saying a word or getting close to you."

Zhou Zhenyue heard what Zhou Fengnian said, came over and stood beside Mu Xueyi: "Don't worry, we have a good relationship."

Zhou Fengnian didn't seem to believe it: "Really? I'm old, but I don't have amnesia. I remember how you used to get along. You guys are too rusty now."

Zhou Zhenyue smiled lightly: "No matter how close we are, we can't do too much in front of you."

Zhou Fengnian's index finger is a kiss, a hug? I'm not an old-fashioned person, I can kiss you if you want. I'll still close my eyes consciously for the old man. "

The smile on Zhou Zhenyue's face completely disappeared.

Zhou Fengnian laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, a young man is a thin-skinned man." He took off his reading glasses, folded the temples, and muttered: "Oh, this man is troublesome when he is old. , I seem to be a little hungry all of a sudden this evening..."

Zhou Zhenyue got up: "I'll buy you a late night snack."

Zhou Fengnian snorted and looked at Mu Xueyi with a smile: "Xueyao, let's go too."

Mu Xueyi hurriedly agreed and followed Zhou Zhenyue out the door.

After the two left, Xiao Ai sat down beside the hospital bed and looked at the old man with a smile: "Father, I will peel the oranges for you to eat."

She was peeling it off when a message popped up on the phone beside her, and glanced at it, she found that it was a rainstorm warning in half an hour.

Xiao Ai's expression changed, and she put down the half-peeled orange in her hand: "Sorry, I have to hurry up and deliver an umbrella to President Zhou!"

Zhou Fengnian calmly raised his hand to stop her.

"no need."

Xiao Ai looked at Zhou Fengnian, who was calm and relaxed, and instantly became enlightened: "Master, you don't ask President Zhou to go out with Second Miss Mu just because you know there will be a torrential rain in a while..."

Zhou Fengnian smiled without saying a word, crossed his fingers and looked at the cloudy night sky outside the window.

I hope the rain tonight will be a little bit better.
