Chapter 222 The Secret
Jiang Zhizhi clung to Zhou Xiye like a little frog, her legs tightly wrapped around his waist, making him unable to move. Her face was covered in snow, and she laughed as she lowered her head to rub against Zhou Xiye's face.
Zhou Xiye smiled helplessly and reached out to support her waist, afraid that she would fall.
After Jiang Zhizhi had had her fill of merriment, she pulled Zhou Xiye to his feet while laughing, and even thoughtfully patted the snowflakes off his clothes.
Finally, Zhou Xiye carefully brushed the snow off her body.
Snow got into my neck too, it was cold and irritating.
Jiang Zhizhi shrank her neck, covered her cold face with her hands, and continued walking home with Zhou Xiye while smiling.
On the way, he muttered again, "You need to find someone to keep an eye on Xiao Liu and his uncle. I'll also think of something... Hey? Do you think Dr. Jin can cure this strange disease?"
Zhou Xiye didn't know the details, but he did know that everyone said he was very capable.
Jiang Zhizhi sighed, "I asked him indirectly the other day, but he ignored me. I'll go again tomorrow! I have the day after tomorrow off, so I'll go in the morning. I just don't believe it."
Zhou Xiye turned to look at Jiang Zhizhi. Her fair face was particularly vivid under the streetlights, her eyes sparkled, and she was full of vitality.
He smiled and chimed in, "Dr. Kim will definitely be moved by you."
Jiang Zhizhi reached out and hugged Zhou Xiye's arm with both hands: "I'm finding that studying medicine is quite interesting."
Zhou Xiye looked at the gate that was so close at hand, then at Jiang Zhizhi's hand that was wrapped around his arm. He was silent for a moment, then said nothing and let her hold his arm as they entered the gate.
When I got home, Fang Hua was still sitting in the living room, holding a rather large framed picture containing many small black and white photos, looking at it while wearing reading glasses.
Hearing the door open, he put down his glasses, stood up, and looked at Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi who entered: "How did it go? What did the doctor your dad found say?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "There are no results yet. We need to study it further before we can come up with a treatment plan."
Fang Hua frowned: "How could this be? I've never heard of this before. How could there be such a disease?"
Jiang Zhizhi took off her coat and scarf, and handed them to Zhou Xiye. She curiously went over to look at the framed pictures on the coffee table, which were full of photos she had never seen before.
Half of the photos are of Fang Hua and Zhou Chengzhi when they were young, and there are also several photos of Zhou Xiye and Zhou Xiaochuan when they were children. At the bottom is a photo of a little girl, about three or four years old, a lively and pretty little girl.
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "Mom, is this Xiye when he was little?"
Fang Hua snapped out of his reverie, sat down with Jiang Zhizhi, and pointed to a photo of a young man in a white shirt next to them: "This is Xiye. He doesn't like taking pictures. This was taken by a reporter when we went to the grassroots level."
The boy, around fifteen or sixteen years old, had handsome features with a touch of naivety, and stood tall and straight like a young pine tree.
Jiang Zhizhi liked it immediately: "It looks great now, it must have looked even better when it was a child."
Speaking of this, Fang Hua said with some pride: "Yes, he was very handsome when he was a child, and his sister looks a lot like him when he was a child."
He pointed to the photo of the little girl at the bottom: "This is Nishino's younger sister, a photo of her when she was three years old."
Looking at her daughter, she still felt a little sad: "If she were alive, she would be about the same age as Song Man, and she would have died from an illness in the hospital."
Jiang Zhizhi felt heartbroken just listening to this. What a regret and pain it must be to lose such a beautiful daughter.
Fang Hua sighed, "So, I'm a little scared of the hospital today. I don't want to stay there. Xiao Chuan may have all sorts of problems, but at least he's still alive. I'm really afraid something might happen to him..."
Jiang Zhizhi gently put her arm around her shoulder: "Mom, don't worry, there will definitely be a way. We'll find more doctors, and we'll surely come up with a solution."
Fang Hua sighed deeply and stared blankly at the frame of his glasses.
Jiang Zhizhi put her arm around her shoulder and looked at the photo in the frame. Zhou Xiye now looked a lot like Zhou Chengzhi when he was young, but he was more refined and handsome.
I was drawn to the photo above, which showed Zhou Chengzhi, Fang Hua, and a young couple standing side by side, smiling at the camera.
They must be friends of Zhou Chengzhi and Fang Hua when they were young, but they look somewhat familiar.
Jiang Zhizhi comforted Fang Hua a few more times and urged her to go upstairs to rest.
After Fang Hua went upstairs, Jiang Zhizhi picked up the picture frame again, turned to look at Zhou Xiye beside her, and said, "You were so handsome when you were young. Do you still have this photo? I want to put it in my pocket so that our son can grow up to look like this."
Zhou Xiye chuckled and pinched her soft cheek: "You, you dare to say anything."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed and brought the glasses up to her eyes to look at them carefully. The more she looked, the more she thought Zhou Xiye was handsome, and her younger sister was also very pretty.
Finally, I looked at the group photo of Fang Hua and the other three. This time, I was closer and could see the other two more clearly.
After a closer look, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and handed it to Zhou Xiye: "Don't you think Zhou Xiaochuan looks a bit like this uncle?"
Zhou Xiaochuan is fair-skinned and good-looking, somewhat resembling Zhou Xiye but not quite.
Looking at it now, it looks even more like the person in the photo.
Zhou Xiye glanced at it and nodded: "They do look alike. Those are my uncle and aunt."
Jiang Zhizhi said, "Oh, no wonder. Nephews resemble their uncles, right? And aren't the younger uncle and aunt in Beijing?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "He died in an accident."
Jiang Zhizhi apologized, but inwardly sighed. Fang Hua had endured so much pain over the years, so she was very afraid that something might happen to Zhou Xiaochuan.
Zhou Xiye took the picture frame and placed it on the coffee table: "It's getting late, time to go to sleep."
Even after lying down, Jiang Zhizhi still had many questions: "If I hit Sun Xiaoyue, will I be arrested? Can you ask Brother Song Dong to pull some strings and get me released?"
Zhou Xiye ruffled her hair: "Aren't you sleepy?"
Jiang Zhizhi quickly wrapped herself in the blanket: "Sleepy, sleepy, I can barely keep my eyes open."
She's been trying to enter a state of tranquility these past few days, requiring her to eat vegetarian food and purify her mind.
Zhou Xiye did not grant her wish; he pulled back her blanket and followed her there.
In the midst of the chaos, Jiang Zhizhi seized the opportunity to make an excessive request: "I want to be on top..."
...
When Jiang Zhizhi woke up the next morning, her mind was still blank for a moment, but she made a tactless remark and opened the door to Zhou Xiye's new world.
How can there be such a diligent and studious student?
Jiang Zhizhi rubbed her aching back and got up to wash.
Fang Hua boiled milk for her and heated up some eggs: "Xi Ye left early this morning. After you've eaten, I'll call a car to take you there. The snow on the road is too thick to ride a bike today."
"Oh, right, I've packed your lunchbox too. You can eat, tidy up, and then head out."
Jiang Zhizhi was planning to ride her bike there so she could go see Jin Huaiying at noon. If she took a car now, she would have to run there at noon.
It's not impossible!
Jiang Zhizhi didn't even look at what was in the lunchbox. After eating breakfast, she slung her backpack over her shoulder and went out to catch the bus to school...
