After Zhou Shixun answered Mo Mo's call, he rushed over without wasting a minute.
Mo Mo was still sitting in the pavilion in a daze.
Zhou Shixun walked over in two or three steps, not even taking a breath, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? What happened to your mother?"
Momo stood up, tears still flashing in her eyes: "Dad, I can see a vague shadow behind Mom. I don't know how to explain it to you, it's the feeling when a person is about to die and the soul is about to leave the body, do you understand?"
Zhou Shixun's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense."
But I suddenly felt panicky. So, was what that person said true? Was An Ning's life really in danger?
Mo Mo shook his head: "I also hope that I am talking nonsense, but I have seen such weakened shadows in several people who are about to die."
Zhou Shixun couldn't bear it anymore, so he took two steps back and sat down on the stone bench: "No, I'll take your mother to get checked now, so if there's any problem, it can be discovered in time."
Momo was just worried: "Mom said today that she and uncle had a physical examination and they are in good health. She also told me not to worry."
His suggestion to go home gave Sheng An Ning a lot of thoughts. In order to reassure Mo Mo, she also specifically mentioned going for a physical examination.
Zhou Shixun's mind was blank. In the past few decades, except for the last accident with Sheng An Ning, he had panicked before. And now, the panic of the unknown made him feel suffocated.
Therefore, his short-term anxiety and random thoughts were not caused by being too idle.
…
After Sheng Anning finished her work in the laboratory, she went to talk to Zhou Keming about the progress of the experiment. Zhou Keming was very satisfied with her arrangement this time: "It's good that you let Xiao Suo be your assistant. This guy is smart, but he is a little too ambitious and has high aspirations but low skills. People like this, without experiencing setbacks, will easily become arrogant after achieving some results."
Sheng An Ning nodded: "I think so too. On the one hand, I think it can train him, and on the other hand, I think that up to now, there are still people coveting our laboratory."
Zhou Keming smiled and said, "I understand, but I will not get involved in this matter. You should handle it properly. It will also be a training for you."
Sheng Anning came out of Zhou Keming's office and met Suo Zhijie who was carrying a stack of documents to the office to work overtime.
Suo Zhijie was still a little embarrassed: "Teacher Sheng, I'll just read for a while, and then I'll go back."
Sheng Anning patted his shoulder: "It's right to study hard, but don't work too hard. Young people should take good care of their bodies. The body is the capital of the revolution. You are still so young, and there are endless possibilities in the future."
Suo Zhijie smiled a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Sheng, I will definitely not let you down."
Sheng Anning chatted with Suo Zhijie for a few more sentences and answered a few questions he didn't understand before packing up and going home. On the way, she happened to encounter a heavy traffic jam, and it was almost nine o'clock when she got home.
Thinking about what he had told Zhou Hongyun before, if she didn't come back after 7:30, they would have dinner without waiting for her. It was already 9 o'clock, and everyone in the family must have eaten. Zhou Nanguang always went to bed early and got up early, so he must have gone to bed.
Unexpectedly, when she got home, Zhou Shixun and Momo were there. Zhou Nanguang was also sitting in the living room chatting with them. When Zhou Hongyun saw her coming back, she smiled and said, "We've been waiting for you to come home. Now we can have dinner."
Sheng An Ning was surprised: "You haven't eaten yet? Didn't we say that dinner will be served at 7:30? Those who come back late can just go and heat up the leftovers. Mo Mo is really back today? I thought you were just talking."
Momo stood up and smiled: "I've said I'm not busy recently, I came back to accompany you, grandpa and grandma. Grandpa said that it's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so he's waiting for you to have dinner together."
Sheng Anning quickly put down her bag: "Then you must be hungry, I'll go wash my hands and we'll eat."
Zhou Shixun followed her to the bathroom. Sheng Anning was quite surprised: "Why did you come in? I'm going to wash my hands and then go to eat. You go first."
Zhou Shixun suddenly held her hand and said, "Let me help you wash your hands."
Sheng An Ning was so surprised that she couldn't recover: "What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to wash my hands? Oh, go out first, it would be so bad if dad and aunt saw it. And Mo Mo is here too."
Zhou Shixun seemed not to hear her words. He insisted on grabbing her hand and washing it under the faucet. He also carefully applied soap and washed her fingers one by one.
Sheng An Ning felt a little uneasy: "Zhou Shixun, what's wrong with you? Did you do something wrong to me outside? So you are trying to please me here because of guilt?"
Zhou Shixun's voice was incredibly gentle: "No, I just wanted to wash your hands today. Maybe I've been missing An An too much lately. After all, that little girl looks so much like you."
Sheng An Ning thought that this reason could still convince her. She also missed An An very much: "Can we go see An An? It's so close, let's go see her this weekend?"
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "No, you forgot An An said that if one day she doesn't contact her family, she must be on a mission."
Sheng An Ning nodded: "I remember, I remember you told me that if I meet you on the street, I must not take the initiative to say hello first. If you don't have a mission, you will take the initiative to say hello to us. If you have a mission, my greeting will disrupt your actions."
Zhou Shixun hummed and wiped her hands with a towel: "Yes, that's right, so we can't go look for An An. Even if we see An An on the road, we can't take the initiative to recognize her."
Sheng An Ning knew that this was a rule, and it was also to protect their safety, but she still couldn't help but feel distressed: "Little girl, you really make people worry about you."
Zhou Hongyun heated up the food, and seeing that Zhou Shixun and Sheng Anning hadn't come out yet, she called out, "Shixun, Anning, hurry up and eat."
Zhou Shixun then took Sheng Anning's hand and walked out of the bathroom.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, Sheng An Ning quickly shook off Zhou Shixun's hand. She was actually embarrassed!
Zhou Nanguang watched the two sit down, and then looked at Mo Mo who was peeling shrimps seriously, and sighed: "Mo Mo hasn't been home for a while. It's a bit difficult for our family to sit at the same table and have a meal now."
Then he asked Zhou Shixun: "Is An An okay?"
Zhou Shixun nodded: "Very good."
Zhou Nanguang is very satisfied with his granddaughter: "Our Hua Mulan, those old guys are very envious of her when I go out. Our Zhou Zhou is also very capable. He was the one leading the fighter plane formation in the National Day military parade. He has only been there for a short time."
Sheng An Ning just learned the news two days ago and was very proud. The only regret was that Zhou Zhou was training in the suburbs of Beijing and couldn't go home to visit.
And they couldn’t visit.
Zhou Shixun agreed: "Zhou Zhou was indeed amazing this time, but it's no wonder that their instructor is a flying genius. You can really learn a lot from him."
Zhou Nanguang smiled and said, "Hongyun, go get me a bottle of wine. Today is also a small reunion, and I am happy too."
Zhou Hongyun went to get some wine and poured a glass for Zhou Nanguang: "You can only drink this one glass. The doctor has told you not to drink more."
Zhou Nanguang smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's rare for me to be happy, so it's okay to drink a little."
Because Zhou Nanguang was drinking, the meal took a bit longer. Zhou Nanguang also asked Momo a lot of questions about the space station. He didn't understand, but he was surprised: "Now it's really you young people's world. I don't understand what you said. It seems that I am really old. From now on, the heavy responsibility will be on the shoulders of your generation."
The meal ended at around eleven o'clock. Sheng Anning saw that Zhou Nanguang was in high spirits and was very happy. She went back to the room and said to Zhou Shixun, "It seems that we should come back more often to accompany Dad in the future. Talk to Chaoyang and Luancheng. We can't even maintain a family gathering once a week. We haven't gathered for several weeks. Let them come back and stay for a while when they have time."
Zhou Shixun nodded: "Okay, I'll tell them later."
Sheng An Ning was splashing water on her face. When she heard Zhou Shixun's words, she turned her head in surprise: "Zhou Changsuo, I'm not used to you today. You've become a little too easy to talk to. Have you really not done anything to let me down? For example, you have someone you like outside, and you want to be with her..."
Zhou Shixun's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sheng An Ning chuckled, "People say that when a couple has been together for a long time, they become family and the love will disappear. Also, middle-aged couples are particularly prone to emotional crises. Look at Dr. Dai from our previous hospital, do you remember him? He was with a pharmaceutical representative, but later he divorced her and married that pharmaceutical representative. And Director Ren was about to be promoted to deputy director, but someone exposed him and found out that he had a son outside."
Zhou Shixun was somewhat helpless: "Go to bed quickly, I'm not busy recently, I can rest for a few days."
Sheng An Ning was very suspicious: "You are not busy either? Are you and Mo Mo so free recently? This shouldn't be the case. When has your unit ever been free? It's very busy every day."
Zhou Shixun was silent for a moment: "You can also relax yourself. You don't want to be too tense."
Sheng An Ning thought about it and it was right: "Yes, if you feel tired, just take a good rest and don't push yourself too hard. But I don't have time to accompany you when you rest. You need to know what's going on in the laboratory now."
Zhou Shixun frowned: "Do you need my help?"
Sheng Anning was surprised: "You help us? Wouldn't that be a waste of talent? If you stay in our lab for a few days, you will definitely be able to catch the boss behind Xinle!"
She was also joking. After all, there was no way Zhou Shixun could follow her to the laboratory.
When she went to bed at night, Sheng Anning felt that Zhou Shixun seemed to be in a bad mood. In the dimness of the night, she felt that Zhou Shixun seemed to kiss her suddenly.
Sheng An Ning didn't know if she was dreaming.
However, Zhou Shixun actually stared at her the entire night, and from time to time he even sniffed her breath, fearing that this person would suddenly disappear...
