Chapter 61
Su Jiang was still there scolding Zhou Zitan for his lack of manly ethics.
"Doctor Shen, the two of them are getting together again. Your beloved Xiao Zhou even kissed Yu Jurong. It's really hateful."
What?
Based on Shen Tingzhou's understanding of Zhou Zitan, it is impossible for him to kiss Yu Jurong on his own initiative. Could it be that Yu Jurong is threatening him again?
Now Shen Tingzhou couldn't care less about Xu Zhenzi beside him, "Where did you kiss?"
Don't let anything happen again!
Su Jiang said angrily, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, he and Yu Jurong were very close, fighting and cursing with each other."
Shen Tingzhou sensed something was wrong, "What did Xiao Zhou use to kiss Yu Jurong just now?"
Su Jiang snorted, "He kissed Yu Jurong on the face with his hand."
With your hands?
Shen Tingzhou asked suspiciously, "Did he hit Yu Jurong with his fist?"
Su Jiang asked back, "Isn't it the same? Beating is love and scolding is affection!"
Thinking of the man who half-knelt in front of Su Jiang and said he wanted to be his dog, Shen Tingzhou understood why Su Jiang said "beating is love and scolding is care".
Daxiang understands dog training literature!
When Shen Tingzhou was silent, Zhou Zitan called.
When Zhou Zitan called at this time, Shen Tingzhou didn't dare to refuse the call even if a resentful version of Zhenzi was sitting next to him.
Shen Tingzhou said to Su Jiang, "I have a call."
Su Qiang snorted, "It's that Xiao Zhou, right? I saw him making a phone call. It turns out you still love him the most."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Su Rong hung up the phone angrily, and Shen Tingzhou quickly answered Zhou Zitan's call.
As expected, Zhou Zitan's first words were explosive, "Doctor Shen, I met Yu Jurong today. Can I kill him?"
Shen Tingzhou stood up suddenly, tried to control his voice, and said calmly: "Don't be impulsive!"
Zhou Zitan gritted his teeth and said, "He actually contacted my mother in private. I told him not to contact my family!"
What's wrong with this Xiao Yu? Why does he always jump around in Zhou Zi's mine-detecting area?
Shen Tingzhou tapped his forehead and asked, "How did you get in touch?"
Zhou Zitan said angrily: "Today, my mother and I went to do charity work, and he came too."
Shen Tingzhou comforted the irritable Xiao Zhou, "...maybe he is also doing charity."
Zhou Zitan reacted strongly, his voice rising several degrees, "How could a man like him do charity?"
Shen Tingzhou said, "People are multifaceted. Purely evil people and purely kind people are rare. Even if Yu Jurong didn't have such good intentions, he would have actively attended various charity events for the sake of his public image."
Zhou Zitan calmed down and asked, "Is it still like this?"
Shen Tingzhou affirmed: "Yes! Look at those wealthy people, which one of them is not called a philanthropist?"
The first person Zhou Zitan thought of was Zhou Zhizhong, followed by his brother, He Yanting, who has been providing financial assistance to poor mountainous areas and some seriously ill children who have no money to treat their illnesses for many years.
Zhou Zitan, who had calmed down completely, glanced at Yu Jurong who was talking to He Ranjie not far away, and felt a little annoyed again.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at? Stay away from my mother!
Shen Tingzhou: "Don't worry too much. There's no need for him to tell others about this. It won't do him any good."
After successfully calming Zhou Zitan down, Shen Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Xu Xun sitting on the bed.
Xu Xunchong smiled at Shen Tingzhou and said, "It's okay. You don't have to worry about me. Just take care of Xiao Zhou first."
Shen Tingzhou got nervous and hung up the phone with Zhou Zitan. He explained to Xu Xun, "There's nothing going on between Xiao Zhou and me."
Xu Xun smiled and said, "I know."
The more he said this, the more uneasy Shen Tingzhou felt, "...You may not know."
Xu Xun came over and covered Shen Tingzhou's mouth. "No need to explain, I understand. This Xiao Zhou got into trouble again, and you helped him solve it."
Xu Xun took Shen Tingzhou's hand and asked him to sit on the bed. "You don't have to explain anything to me."
Shen Tingzhou was pushed onto the bed by Xu Xun, who said softly, "You've been tired all day, you need to have a good rest."
Xu Xun covered Shen Tingzhou's eyes with his hands again, "Don't think about anything. I'm not Xiao Zhou. I won't cause you any trouble or give you any headache."
Shen Tingzhou thought this was a bit strange.
But feeling Xu Xun pressed lightly on his temple, Shen Tingzhou's tense body slowly relaxed, his brain followed suit, and a feeling of emotion arose in his heart.
How could there be someone as considerate as Xiao Xu in the world?
Then he vaguely followed Xu Xun's words and thought that if Zhou Zitan could be half as worry-free as Xiao Xu, he really wouldn't have to worry so much.
Hey, this little Zhou.
-
He Yanting asked Jiang Ji to meet the next morning. Worried that Zhou Zitan might accidentally enter the scene, Shen Tingzhou called Zhou Zitan out.
Shen Tingzhou took Zhou Zitan to an art exhibition, which was the best place he could think of for two men to spend time.
Zhou Zitan does not have artistic talent. If someone else invited him to such a place, he would think that person was mentally ill.
Shen Tingzhou was treated preferentially by Zhou Zitan, and he followed Shen Tingzhou obediently to watch these exhibitions that he had no idea what they were doing.
After viewing the exhibition, Shen Tingzhou was about to take Zhou Zitan to a nearby restaurant for dinner, but unexpectedly he saw Yu Jurong at the end of the corridor.
For a moment, Shen Tingzhou also suspected that Yu Jurong was following Zhou Zitan. The frequency of their encounters was indeed quite high.
Seeing Yu Jurong, Zhou Zitan's expression turned a little unhappy, but he was not as excited as last night.
Yu Jurong was very calm and walked over to greet Zhou Zitan, "What a coincidence."
Zhou Zitan showed his impatience, "Get out of the way, you're blocking our way."
Yu Jurong smiled and said, "I was in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have time to ask you. I heard that your brother has woken up?"
Zhou Zitan immediately became alert, "Why are you asking this?"
Yu Jurong smiled and didn't reply to his words. She looked at Shen Tingzhou and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Doctor Shen, let's talk another day."
Although he didn't know what they had to talk about, Shen Tingzhou nodded out of basic courtesy.
Looking at Yu Jurong's departing back, Zhou Zitan wanted to chase after him, but was held back by Shen Tingzhou.
Zhou Zitan said anxiously, "He is full of bad intentions. He must be up to something bad when he mentions my brother."
Shen Tingzhou felt that Zhou Zitan was like throwing a meat bun at a dog, but then again, Yu Jurong was quite good at catching Zhou Zitan, and he almost always hit the target.
Shen Tingzhou held Zhou Zitan down and said, "Don't worry about him. He's just talking nonsense. He won't really say anything."
Zhou Zitan didn't say anything and followed Shen Tingzhou obediently.
They met again in the restaurant.
Shen Tingzhou found a restaurant with good reviews. When he entered, he saw Yu Jurong having dinner with some friends.
When Yu Jurong saw Shen Tingzhou, he raised his hand as a greeting, then picked up his phone.
Soon, Zhou Zitan's cell phone vibrated. He took out his cell phone and frowned.
Shen Tingzhou asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zitan sent back a dynamic picture of Yu Jurong giving a middle finger, and then said to Shen Tingzhou, "He sent me the hotel room number."
Shen Tingzhou was shocked, "You guys are still sticking with that agreement?"
Zhou Zitan had hit Yu Jurong on the head before. In order to prevent him from calling the police, he promised Yu Jurong that he would be available whenever he was called.
Looking at Zhou Zitan's attitude towards beating and scolding Yu Jurong these times, Shen Tingzhou thought that the agreement had been settled long ago.
Zhou Zitan, who had no moral principles, said: "It's okay, I'll just treat it as a dog bite."
Shen Tingzhou was completely confused, "Didn't you guys... have a fight yesterday?"
Zhou Zitan: "That's because I thought he was going to complain to my mom. I hit him on the head some time ago, but Dr. Shen, you also said that there is no reason for him to tell my mom. It will not be good for him."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Therefore, as long as Yu Jurong does not complain to He Ranjie, Zhou Zitan will still fulfill his promise.
Shen Tingzhou, a mortal, would never be able to understand this magical train of thought, but he finally understood one thing -
That is, if Zhou Zitan says he wants to kill Yu Jurong again next time, there is no need to panic. With Yu Jurong's intelligence, he should be able to handle it.
Shen Tingzhou was relieved instantly.
As long as you regard all this as part of the play between Zhou Zitan and Yu Jurong, there is nothing difficult to understand.
-
After receiving Jiang Ji's call and confirming that he had returned from the hospital, Shen Tingzhou drove Zhou Zitan to the hospital and went to see He Yanting by the way.
He Yanting was in good condition. When Shen Tingzhou passed by, he was looking through the company's reports during the period when he lost his memory.
From He Yanting's calm face, Shen Tingzhou could not tell the result of his negotiation with Jiang Ji.
The only thing that is certain is that the two of them did not have a quarrel during this conversation, otherwise He Yanting would not have been so calm.
After what happened last time, Zhou Zitan didn't dare to get too close to He Yanting. He stood at the end of the bed and greeted him a few words in the name of He Ranjie.
"Brother, my mom asked me to come and see you. How are you feeling today? By the way, do you want to drink any soup? My mom said she'll make it and bring it to you."
He Yanting's attitude towards Zhou Zitan is no different from the past. As long as Jiang Ji is not mentioned, the two of them can communicate normally.
Although He Yanting's tone was still indifferent, Zhou Zitan was already very happy to hear this.
On the way back, Zhou Zitan told Shen Tingzhou about his and He Yanting's childhood.
When Zhou Zitan was a child, he was often bullied by other children of the same age because of his developmental disabilities, short stature, and being an "illegitimate child".
"My brother was very powerful. He knocked the man down with one punch. I pushed him into the swimming pool while he was dazed. It was my brother who jumped into the water and pulled him out. When the adults asked about it later, my brother said that he had done it himself and did not give me away."
"Another time, they tricked me into a warehouse and locked me up there, and it was my brother who found me."
At that time, Zhou Zitan rushed out in a hurry and kept kicking the door, breaking his toes. It was He Yanting who carried him back.
Shen Tingzhou suddenly understood why Zhou Zitan liked He Yanting so much.
In addition to being He Ranjie's nephew, He Yanting also helped Zhou Zitan when he was at his weakest.
Shen Tingzhou sighed.
Zhou Zitan suddenly stopped talking, "Doctor Shen, can you please stop for a moment? I'm going to the store to buy something."
Shen Tingzhou parked the car at the intersection, Zhou Zitan opened the car door, and a minute later came back with a box of contraceptives.
Looking at Zhou Zi leaning forward with a heartless face, holding a small condom in his hand, Shen Tingzhou's emotion was instantly withdrawn.
-
After sending Xiao Zhou home, Shen Tingzhou was about to go back when he suddenly received a call from the property management company.
Hearing that his water pipe had burst, Shen Tingzhou said something to Xu Xun and then hurried back.
When he opened the door, he found that the living room was flooded and the wallpaper was bubbling over a large area due to moisture. Fortunately, the property management had already turned off the water valve for him.
Xu Xun quickly brought people over.
The other party was a professional in dealing with burst pipes. He used a small water aspirator to suck out all the water in the living room, and then began to repair the broken pipe.
Looking at the messy living room, Shen Tingzhou felt a little worried. "I originally wanted to move back, but I didn't expect..."
The housekeeper's nephew has caught the man hired by Lu Yuan to kill stray cats. The man "voluntarily" surrendered to the police and confessed that Lu Yuan paid him to kill cats in order to intimidate Shen Tingzhou.
Because of this incident, not only was Lu Yuan's sentence increased, he was also banned from writing letters to contact the outside world.
Shen Tingzhou had been thinking of moving back in a few days, but now that his living room was flooded, he had no choice but to continue staying at Xu Xun's house.
Xu Xun whispered, "If you think it's inconvenient to live in my house, I can find you another place."
Seeing that Xu Xun had misunderstood, Shen Tingzhou hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that if no one lives here for a long time, mold will grow and bacteria will breed."
Xu Xun glanced at Shen Tingzhou and said, "Well, if we get married in the future, what will we do with this house?"
Shen Tingzhou felt a little embarrassed by the hypothesis of Xu Xun, but he didn't think that far ahead.
Xu Xun hooked Shen Tingzhou with his index finger, "Speak, what should I do?"
Shen Tingzhou felt a burning sensation on his fingertips, and then his hand was held by Xu Xun.
A male voice broke the silent ambiguity between Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun, "Mr. Shen, you are finally back."
Shen Tingzhou withdrew his hand and looked towards the door.
The property manager, wearing a suit but no tie, stood in the open doorway and asked politely, "Can I come in?"
Shen Tingzhou said hurriedly, "Don't be polite, come in quickly."
The property manager came in and said, "After your water pipe burst, the water seeped into the house of the resident downstairs. He was the one who called us."
Upon hearing that the wall of the downstairs resident was soaked, Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun followed the property manager to knock on the other party's door, wanting to discuss the issue of compensation.
But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.
The property manager was surprised and asked, "He seemed to be at home half an hour ago. Could it be that he is out doing business now?"
Shen Tingzhou said, "Since he is not here, please give me his phone number so I can contact him to ask about compensation."
Upon hearing that the resident wanted to talk alone, the property manager eagerly gave the phone to Shen Tingzhou.
Shen Tingzhou didn't get through the call and went back with Xu Xun first.
Hearing that Shen Tingzhou's water pipe had burst, the housekeeper smiled for no apparent reason and said, "Compared to the young master's plan, the water pipe is more reliable."
Shen Tingzhou thought these words were very meaningful. Just as he was about to think about them carefully, he was suddenly kissed by Xu Xun.
Looking at the butler's back which was not far away, Shen Tingzhou was startled for a moment, not understanding why the other party suddenly wanted to kiss him.
After Xu committed suicide by marrying his parents, he just grabbed a cat and gave it to Shen Tingzhou.
Shen Tingzhou, who was confused, was soon attracted by the cat.
Looking at Shen Tingzhou who was seriously sucking the cat, Xu Xun cast a resentful look in the direction of the housekeeper and secretly transformed himself.
-
On Wednesday, Shen Tingzhou accompanied Su Yu to the hospital for examination again.
In the later stages of pregnancy, checkups will become more frequent. Pregnant women hate hospitals and checkups, are in a bad mood, and walk around in a depressed mood.
He didn't feel happy again until he heard that after the examination, Shen Tingzhou took him to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
Su Yu tilted his head back, his pointed chin becoming rounder than before, "Doctor Shen, I want to eat some cheese corn."
Shen Tingzhou: "Okay, but I can only eat half, okay?"
Su Yu nodded wildly, "Yeah."
After leaving the hospital, Shen Tingzhou slowed down the car. He remembered that there was a small roasted sweet potato shop nearby.
After finding the place, Shen Tingzhou got off the car and bought a piece for Su Yu.
While Su Yu was eating roasted sweet potatoes, Shen Tingzhou used his mobile phone to search for nearby shops selling cheese corn.
Su Yu beside him suddenly raised his voice and said "hmm".
Su Yu held his chin and stared at something outside the car window, "This person..."
Remembering Su Yu's buff of "good at judging people", Shen Tingzhou looked over.
He was a thin young man, wrapped in a long scarf as if he was afraid of the cold. The scarf covered half of his face, leaving only a little bit of his nose and a pair of eyes exposed.
The wind was very strong today. He was walking alone on the road against the wind. His swaying figure seemed like he would fall at any time and he looked very weak.
Shen Tingzhou frowned slightly, and then heard Su Yu say in an interested voice, "It's quite interesting."
Shen Tingzhou turned to look at Su Yu, "What's wrong?"
Su Yu smiled and said innocently, "Nothing. I feel like he has a lot on his mind. It's rare to see people like him nowadays."
When Shen Tingzhou looked out the window again, the person had disappeared.
Su Yu quickly put this person out of his mind and looked up to ask Shen Tingzhou for cheese corn.
Shen Tingzhou drove to a store, let Su Yu eat half a cheese corn, and then sent him home.
Seeing that Shen Tingzhou had no intention of staying, Su Yu complained to himself, "I knew that I couldn't keep Dr. Shen's heart, and now I can't even keep his body."
Shen Tingzhou explained, "I have something to do today."
Su Yu held up her belly and said, "It doesn't matter, baby. At least he is willing to lie to us, which shows that he still cares about us."
Shen Tingzhou said helplessly: "My house was flooded, and I made an appointment to discuss compensation downstairs today."
Su Yu's eyes lit up immediately, "Take me there, take me there. I'm the best at quarreling."
Shen Tingzhou: "...It's about compensation."
Su Yu: "I am also the best at quarreling."
Su Yu was certain that the compensation negotiation would turn into a quarrel, so he insisted on going with Shen Tingzhou.
Even if there really was going to be a quarrel, Shen Tingzhou wouldn't dare to bring a pregnant man who was so pregnant at such an advanced stage to seek excitement.
After successfully persuading Su Yu, who wanted to join in the fun, to avoid any further complications, Shen Tingzhou left in a hurry.
The resident downstairs should be a person with severe social anxiety and has always refused to let Shen Tingzhou come to his home. However, Shen Tingzhou doesn't know how badly his house has been damaged, and he doesn't know how to compensate him. He must go and see it before he can negotiate.
Shen Tingzhou communicated patiently and finally got the other party to give in.
After arriving at the place, Shen Tingzhou pressed the doorbell, but the door didn't open. Shen Tingzhou didn't press it again, but waited patiently at the door.
They agreed on this time, so the other person should be at home. Maybe he felt that he was not safe enough, so he did not dare to open the door.
Shen Tingzhou suspected that this person was observing him through the cat's eyes, and would only open the door to make sure that he would not cause any harm to himself.
Sure enough, after ten seconds or so, the door opened a crack.
Shen Tingzhou stood at the door and said, "Hello, I live upstairs. Is it convenient for me to come in?"
The door opened a little further, and a very low and small voice said, "Okay."
Shen Tingzhou took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on the door, and walked into the other person's house.
The first thing he saw was a large area of peeling wall in the living room. Shen Tingzhou felt guilty and turned to the owner of the house and said, "I'm sorry, I..."
After seeing the other person's face clearly, he paused slightly.
He was a thin young man, who was wrapped in a thick scarf even at home, with only his eyes showing. After meeting Shen Tingzhou's gaze, the young man hurriedly looked away.
It's the person I just saw outside the hospital.
Shen Tingzhou paused for a moment and then continued, "I was away from home recently because of something else, so I didn't notice it in time. I'm sorry."
The young man shook his head.
Shen Tingzhou asked, "Can I go in and see other places?"
The young man nodded, this time with a bigger amplitude, and Shen Tingzhou saw a burn scar on the back of his neck.
The other party seemed to realize it as well, and hurriedly pulled up her scarf, walked to the sofa in front, and distanced herself from Shen Tingzhou.
Shen Tingzhou seemed to have seen nothing. He checked the living room and asked the other party about the compensation plan, whether it was money or he would find someone to renovate the damaged areas.
The young man seemed to have encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and said in a low voice, "This house is not mine, I am just a tenant, the deposit is a lot, I, I don't know how to do it."
Shen Tingzhou understood and asked the young man for the landlord's phone number.
Shen Tingzhou said, "I will discuss this directly with the landlord. Don't worry, when you move out, your deposit will definitely not be deducted because of this."
The young man seemed relieved and thanked Shen Tingzhou instead.
Shen Tingzhou smiled and said, "I should be the one to apologize to you."
The young man glanced at Shen Tingzhou, then shook his head slightly.
The landlord is a kind-hearted person, but he has a sharp tongue and is a bit of a chatterbox.
After discussing compensation with Shen Tingzhou, the landlord changed the subject and talked about the tenant.
"I'm not saying bad things to you, but this guy looks sick and weird."
"I didn't want to rent to him at first, so I asked for a very high deposit. I didn't expect him to be so willing to pay it. But he's nice. He's kept the house very clean during the time he's been here. He's much better than my previous tenants, but he's weird."
She spoke quickly and densely, mixing in some dialect from time to time, and Shen Tingzhou had no chance to get a word in.
Now he finally understood why the young man was unwilling to communicate with his landlord.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Tingzhou pinched his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
After transferring the money to the landlord, Shen Tingzhou forgot about the matter.
On Friday, Xu Xun went to a meeting at the company. They agreed to have lunch together at noon. Shen Tingzhou left early and went to the pet store. As soon as he walked out with his things, he bumped into someone.
The man said in panic, "I'm sorry."
Shen Tingzhou felt the voice sounded familiar, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the socially anxious young man.
The other party also recognized Shen Tingzhou, was stunned for a moment, looked behind him, his bloodless lips trembled slightly, and he quickly walked into the pet store.
Before Shen Tingzhou could figure out what was going on, a tall and handsome man walked over quickly.
He looked around and walked up to Shen Tingzhou. "Excuse me, did you see someone passing by here? Male, about this tall, wearing a black down jacket and a scarf."
As soon as Shen Tingzhou heard it, he knew who he was looking for, but when he thought of the panic on the young man's face just now, he shook his head.
The man frowned and was about to chase after Shen Tingzhou.
At this time, the clerk of the pet store said, "Sir, what do you need while squatting here?"
This sentence drew the man's attention back and he looked over.
