Qin Hezhou put his hands on his knees, and his pants were wrinkled.

The tight corners of his lips, the lips pursed into a straight line, and the phone that he pressed almost to pieces, all showed his... excitement!

Like a thrill-seeking surfer, standing on the board and seeing the huge waves coming towards him, he feels excited but also a little nervous.

Now it has changed again.

He was grinning like a fool.

Just say that falling in love makes people stupid, Zhou Yanli secretly made a note that he must not become like this.

"Ahem." He interrupted helplessly, "Go out, hurry up."

Qin Hezhou nodded perfunctorily, but his eyes never left his phone.

After making sure Zhou Yanli had left, he played it over and over again no less than ten times, as if he was addicted.

No wonder some people say that satisfying spiritual desires is more pleasurable than satisfying physical desires.

really!

The slight annoyance that had been felt earlier when discussing Qin Mengzhi's illness was swept away.

In just over twenty seconds of voice communication, he truly felt that he was no longer the lonely and unwanted little boy.

The people who love him in this world are no longer limited to Qin Mengzhi and Old Lady Qin...

And Pei Zhiyu.

He let his body sink back into the soft sofa, his eyes slightly shining as he murmured to himself, "It feels so good..."

She misses me very much.

Qin Hezhou couldn't wait to express his feelings to the other party.

But after pressing the record button, I kept my mouth open for a long time, which always felt awkward.

Even if he were to talk to Pei Zhiyu right now, it would be fine, but there was an extra layer of subtle strangeness between them because of the phone.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage.

"Me too, I miss you too... Once my aunt's condition stabilizes, we'll go pick up Oreo and take him home."

A low but gentle voice slowly invaded my ears, and goose bumps appeared on my ears.

The last half of the sentence ended with a smile, as if someone who was extremely nervous was pretending to be relaxed.

Pei Zhiyu was shocked by the voice that lasted for dozens of seconds. She bit her lower lip and tried hard to suppress the emotions that were about to burst through her body.

However, she failed.

What you think is extremely strong self-control is actually vulnerable.

In the end, I could only hold my phone tightly, hug my hands, lower my head, and laugh so hard that my whole body was shaking.

It is difficult to describe her mood at the moment with a few specific words or a sentence.

I remember seeing a story somewhere before:

The girl wanted to confess her love to the boy she liked, but was afraid of being rejected, so she cut a paper-cut to symbolize love and ran to the boy's window on a rainy day to stick it on his window.

The wind was very strong and there was a lot of rain.

The window grilles were half hanging there, wet, and disappeared with a gust of wind.

The girl hung her head, thinking, "Ah, this is fate." But just when she was about to give up, the boy came out. He understood everything at a glance, so he breathed gently on the glass window and then drew the same window pattern in the mist.

Maybe outsiders would think it's pretentious, corny, and insane.

But people in love always feel sweet about all kinds of inexplicable little things, even Pei Zhiyu himself felt it was a little corny at this moment.

What she didn't know was that from Aunt Yu's perspective, the way she tried to hold back her laughter on the balcony looked like a stubborn dough stick that refused to be put into the frying pan.

Inside the hospital.

Zhou Yanli inspected the ICU before returning to the lounge, thinking that it had been about ten minutes and the conversation should be over by then.

But as soon as I entered the door, I saw Qin Hezhou with a grin on his face.

He was still holding his phone and typing away.

He suddenly remembered that he still hadn't added Zhong Yue's WeChat...

Hiss, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Busy Qin, can you spare some time so we can discuss the real business first?" Zhou Yanli banged the folder on the table three or four times, angrily saying, "Your wife won't run away, okay?"

Qin Hezhou was in a very good mood and said in a high tone, "Just send this message and it will be fine."

“…”Why does he seem so annoying to me?

As if sensing that the other person was in a bad mood, Qin Hezhou put away his phone, suppressed his smile, and started discussing the matter seriously.

"Will there be another situation like last time?"

"It has been observed that there is basically no problem now. After two days of stabilization, he can be transferred to the general ward. It is highly likely that it will not happen again." Zhou Yanli said slowly.

"There's nothing wrong with you, but you haven't woken up yet?" Qin Hezhou asked.

"You know, everything has risks and probabilities." He took out another document and handed it over. "Here, take a look at this. If you think it's okay, just sign it."

There were several big words on the document: Nursing Caregiver Employment Agreement.

Qin Hezhou flipped through the book with confusion and asked him, "What do you mean?"

"It's still unknown when Aunt Meng will wake up. You can't just use the hospital as an office, right? Not only will it affect the Qin family...it might even affect your relationship with Bai Yueguang."

He glanced at the other person, threw the documents on the table, and said, "I'm worried about the nurse."

Zhou Yanli held his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed. He knew that Qin Hezhou was still upset about the fact that Zhou Yanchu had bribed the head nurse and the nursing staff to target Pei Zhiyu and the others.

In fact, Zhong Yue had an argument with me about this matter on the day he was discharged from the hospital.

Haha, having a sister like Zhou Yanchu is really his "blessing".

"Don't worry, I've replaced the caregivers, and they're all reliable. As for the close care, I've arranged for the same person who previously took care of your old lady."

"Didn't Bai Yueguang say that he missed you? What are you hesitating about?"

Qin Hezhou leaned against the table, thinking silently, and did not give an answer in the end.

When it was time for Zhou Yanli to go on duty, he asked one last time, "Have you thought it through?"

Qin Hezhou passed by him without even raising his head. When he reached the door, he left a word "talk about it later" and disappeared.

The shadow left on him by the accident that happened to his parents abroad in his early years was too great.

When Qin Mengzhi took him to the hospital, his mother was not dead yet. Just like Qin Mengzhi now, she said she was fine but she couldn't wake up.

During that difficult half month, he almost never left the ward. Only one day, at the persuasion of the doctor and Qin Mengzhi, he went home to rest for half a day.

When he was awakened by the frantic ringing of the phone...

Mother is dead.
