Chapter 137 Someone Behind
The next day, after two days of rain, the weather cleared up and the sidewalk was dry, so Zhong Hui put on her sneakers and went downstairs for a run.
I did some warm-up exercises first and ran a few steps before Zhao Jilin caught up with me in big strides.
"Lawyer Zhao," Zhong Hui greeted with a smile. "Is Qianqian feeling better?"
"Much better. I broke out in a sweat in the middle of the night and the fever is gone."
"That's good. Children's fever can be reduced by sweating." Zhong Hui has experience. Linlin is in good health and has had fevers several times since she was a child.
Zhao Jilin nodded. He didn't sleep well last night because he was taking care of his daughter. He was also worried about something and couldn't fall asleep. He simply went downstairs for a run. Running a few kilometers would make him feel more energetic.
There were not many people in the neighborhood in the early morning. The two of them ran quietly side by side. After running three kilometers, Zhong Hui stopped running, shook her hands, and prepared to go to the basketball court to stretch.
Three kilometers was her limit. Zhong Hui was panting heavily. She hadn't run for two days, and running was becoming more tiring.
Zhao Jilin also followed him towards the basketball court. Zhong Hui turned around and asked, "Lawyer Zhao, aren't you running away today?"
Zhao Jilin usually runs five or six kilometers.
Zhao Jilin smiled and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I won't run so far."
"Yeah, not getting enough sleep is the most tiring thing."
The two of them stretched on the guardrail beside the basketball court, chatting casually.
Zhao Jilin took off his glasses, looked at Zhong Hui and said with a smile, "Ah Hui, can I call you Ah Hui?"
"Sure, we're all so familiar with each other."
"Then don't call me Lawyer Zhao. We are so familiar with each other, right?" Zhao Jilin looked at Zhong Hui and said seriously.
Zhong Hui nodded: "Zhao Jilin."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After stretching, the two prepared to go back. It was almost May, and the flowers and plants in the community were growing lush, with the low roses blooming in clusters.
"Ahui, have you ever thought about finding another partner, the kind to get married, so that Linlin can have a complete family?" Zhao Jilin asked suddenly.
Finally, on Sunday evening, Xiao Nie finally came back. When Zhong Hui saw her, her eyes were particularly warm: "Xiao Nie, you are finally back."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Hui." Little Nie couldn't help laughing.
"How was it? Did the trip back go smoothly?" Zhong Hui asked, remembering what Jiang Xiaochen said to her that day.
Xiao Nie nodded hesitantly: "It went quite smoothly."
"That's good."
"By the way, Sister Hui, Zheng Benming and I have decided to get married."
"Really, congratulations." Zhong Hui was really happy.
"Thank you, Sister Hui." Xiao Nie smiled shyly and took out a handful of candy from her bag. "I'll treat you to some candy."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaofeng, and congratulations, Sister Xiaofeng." Jiang Xiaochen grabbed a few candies and congratulated with a smile.
Xiao Nie thanked him and then said a little embarrassedly, "Sister Hui, Daming and I are going to get our marriage certificate today, so I'd like to take another half day off."
Zhong Hui groaned inwardly, but still said generously, "Why half a day? I'll treat you to a full day, and I won't deduct your salary."
"Sister Hui, you are so nice." Jiang Xiaochen said enviously.
"If you get married, I'll grant you leave in the same way."
"Then I'll remember it. I take it seriously." Jiang Xiaochen said mischievously.
"Then you have to find a partner first." Xiao Nie interrupted.
"Sister Xiaofeng, you are annoying~"
Zhong Hui found it quite amusing to watch them playing. After a while, some customers came to buy things, so Xiao Nie left first.
Zhong Hui had been running the store all day and went to deposit money on time at 6:30 in the afternoon. As she was about to reach the bank, she felt like she was being watched again.
