In the north city in October, the autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the street have turned yellow and are falling with the wind.
Monkey stood at the door of the hospital with a cigarette in his hand, which was his third one.
The smoke drifted in the cold wind.
He squinted his eyes, staring at the gradually brightening streetlights in the distance, but in his heart he was thinking about Zhang Hongmei. Why hadn't she come out yet? Could something have happened?
After beating up Meng Yu last time, the fat man had been quiet for a few days, but Monkey knew this wasn't over. How could a man like Meng Yu let Zhang Hongmei off so easily?
He put out his cigarette and checked his watch. It was almost time. Zhang Hongmei should have been off work long ago.
Monkey walked to the hospital entrance and saw Zhang Hongmei walking out of the inpatient department from a distance.
She was wearing a light blue cotton jacket and a red scarf around her neck, which made her face look even whiter.
Her steps were hurried, as if she was anxious to see him.
The monkey felt warm in his heart and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Why are you so late today?" the monkey asked casually, in a casual tone.
"A patient suddenly became seriously ill and was delayed." Zhang Hongmei smiled with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but the moment she saw the monkey, the fatigue seemed to dissipate a lot.
The two walked side by side on the street, their shadows stretched out by the streetlights. The monkey walked on the outside, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the wind.
They walked to the parking lot and both got in the car.
"Actually, you don't have to come to pick me up. I think everything is fine. I feel embarrassed that you come here every day." Zhang Hongmei broke the silence and looked up at him.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I just came back from abroad a while ago and don't have much to do right now," Monkey replied casually, but his eyes remained fixed on her face. Her eyelashes were very long and trembled slightly like butterfly wings. Monkey's heart moved, and he suddenly felt the urge to reach out and touch her.
Zhang Hongmei seemed to notice his gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head. The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little subtle, and the air seemed to be filled with an inexplicable feeling.
The monkey looked away and started the car.
"Brother An..." Zhang Hongmei suddenly spoke in a soft voice, as if she was afraid of breaking the silence.
"Hmm?" The monkey turned and looked at her.
Zhang Hongmei bit her lip, seeming a little hesitant, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "Thank you... If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
The monkey was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I should do it. As for your household registration, I think you should move out first."
Zhang Hongmei looked up, her eyes puzzled. "I know, but my parents' house has been sold, and I have no place to register my household registration."
The unit does have collective household registration, but that is for unmarried people.
Married women like her can't be cheated on. That's the rule anyway.
The monkey said, "Why don't you just register at my house? A household registration is of no use to me anyway."
Zheng Hongmei said, "How can I do this? I don't want to implicate you."
Monkey's heart tightened. Looking at her clear eyes, his heart palpitated and his face felt slightly hot. But he held it back and just said softly, "No, I'm just a divorced uncle anyway. Why would I get involved?"
Zhang Hongmei's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head, and said with some emotion, "Thank you so much... I don't know how to repay you."
The monkey held out his hand and chuckled, "It's okay. You can move here tomorrow."
"But my ex-in-laws were unwilling to give me the household registration booklet!"
Monkey had to find Fang Huaimin again. "It's okay. Bring your ID card with you tomorrow and come with me. First, we'll apply for a replacement, and then we'll apply for a transfer. You won't be listed in that household registration anymore."
The two of them were silent, but there was a tacit understanding in the silence.
Zhang Hongmei secretly glanced at the monkey, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She never thought that this man would always be by her side when she was most helpless.
His strength and dominance made her feel at ease.
Monkey also sensed a change in Zhang Hongmei. Her gaze was no longer evasive, but instead showed a new level of dependence and trust. He knew his place in her heart had changed.
Arriving at Zhang Hongmei's house, Zhang Hongmei had just gotten out of the car.
Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps coming from the distance.
The monkey raised his head alertly and saw a group of people walking towards them.
Hongmei had already walked far away at this time. He asked her to get in the car and drive away immediately, but it was obviously too late. He had to abandon the car and run to Hongmei's side.
The leader was none other than Meng Yu, the fat brother-in-law. Behind him followed seven or eight thug-like men, all holding clubs and wearing malicious smiles.
"Monkey, you're such a fucking daredevil!" Meng Yu walked up to the two of them and sneered, "Let's settle the score from last time today!"
Zhang Hongmei's face changed, and she subconsciously hid behind the monkey. There were simply too many people here today.
Monkey remained calm and looked at Meng Yu coldly, "What do you want to do?" There were too many people coming today, and he was afraid of hurting Zhang Hongmei.
Monkey whispered to Hongmei, "Go to Fang's house and look for someone."
Seeing Monkey's calm and quiet response, as well as his firm and unquestionable eyes, although Hongmei was very nervous, she had no choice but to obey.
Meng Yu sneered and waved his hand, "Brothers, come on! If I don't beat him down today, I won't be called Meng!"
