He didn't respond, and they remained in this stalemate. After a while, she fell asleep again.
Qin Hezhou carefully tucked her arms back into the quilt.
At this moment, the room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard. Suddenly -
The phone on the sofa made a loud noise!
The noise scared Pei Zhiyu so much that he started to shudder. Qin Hezhou cursed inwardly and acted quickly, muting his phone.
When he turned around, Pei Zhiyu had buried his head in the quilt and fell asleep again. It seemed that he was really tired.
He took his cell phone and walked to the window far away from the bed. The call had been hung up, and three red words were lying in the missed call list: Zhou Yanli.
Qin Hezhou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhou Yanli is the leading expert in neurosurgery in China, the youngest professor, the heir to Hanfang Private Hospital, and the attending physician of Qin Hezhou's aunt Qin Mengzhi.
The Zhou family and the Qin family of Hanfang have been friends for generations, and Zhou Yanli and Qin Hezhou are close friends who grew up together.
When he learned that Qin Mengzhi had a brain tumor, he immediately sought help from Zhou Yanli. They had just agreed to perform the surgery after Qin Mengzhi returned to China, which was half a month later.
Zhou Yanli is a person who would rather send a message than make a phone call. The fact that he called in a hurry at this moment must be an urgent matter.
He was extremely anxious and called back immediately.
When the other end picked up the phone, Qin Hezhou immediately asked, "What's wrong, aunt?"
Zhou Yanli had just finished his night shift. He was wearing a white coat and a white shirt. He casually took off his gold-rimmed glasses and placed them on the table. He had just the right amount of "gentlemanly villain" vibe.
"Are you anxious? Hang up on me, I think you don't care."
Qin Hezhou was afraid of waking Pei Zhiyu, so he deliberately lowered the volume and explained, "Someone was sleeping, and the noise was too loud, so I just hung up."
"Oh, the one you married so suddenly, your first love, the white moonlight, whom you had a crush on for many years but couldn't get?" Zhou Yanli deliberately made fun of her.
He always spoke with a bit of a sting, and Qin Hezhou was already used to it. He was only concerned about one thing now, "Did something go wrong with my aunt's surgery?"
"It went smoothly. She can be admitted directly to the hospital once she arrives in Jiangzhou. However..."
Qin Hezhou was anxious, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"She returned home early and is taking a flight tomorrow morning. I suggest you go and pick her up." After saying that, Zhou Yanli tasted the coffee and found it unpalatable. The instant coffee really wasn't good.
Qin Hezhou remained silent.
Zhou Yanli then added, "Xiao Chu is back too. Remember to ask her to bring me the coffee beans."
"Your sister, why don't you go pick it up yourself?"
"No time," he said.
"Is it appropriate for her and I to meet?" Qin Hezhou asked angrily, and then asked, "Have you told her about my marriage?!"
"I told you right after you got the marriage certificate, but this girl is still scheming."
Zhou Yanli, her brother, was also quite helpless about Zhou Yanchu's love for Qin Hezhou. His sister had been spoiled by her family since she was a child, and she was unbridled and unruly, with no one to control her.
After graduating from high school, Zhou Yanchu was admitted to study abroad, and the Zhou family asked Qin Mengzhi, who lived in the same city, to take care of him.
It just so happened that this little girl was deeply favored by Qin Mengzhi. Qin Hezhou was very patient with her during the years they lived together, but due to his aunt's health problems, he could not refuse her outright. It was not until he returned to China that he was able to barely escape from her "clutches".
Zhou Yanli stirred his coffee and seemed serious. He said, "You'd better throw the marriage certificate in her face and tell her that your love for your first love is as solid as a rock. Otherwise, this girl will keep having evil thoughts. It would be bad if it affects your pursuit of your first love."
"Good idea, I'll adopt it."
With that, Qin Hezhou hung up the phone and immediately notified his assistant to deliver the marriage certificate tomorrow morning.
There were still many issues between him and Pei Zhiyu that hadn't been resolved, and he really couldn't let Zhou Yanchu cause more trouble...
This little episode before bedtime caused Qin Hezhou to not sleep well that night.
When Pei Zhiyu opened his eyes, he saw him sitting in front of the window with neat clothes. The rising sun shone on his face through the floor-to-ceiling window. The scene was pleasing to the eye.
"You, when did you wake up?" In fact, she didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Qin Hezhou turned around when he heard the voice and saw Pei Zhiyu waking up. His expression changed and he seemed a little nervous.
"It's been a while. I've prepared breakfast for you and Oreo. You can eat after you wash up," he said.
Feeling that the atmosphere was much better than yesterday, Pei Zhiyu calmed down and prepared to tell him what the lawyer had told him.
"Um, yesterday I received a call..."
"I'm leaving now."
"What?" Pei Zhiyu was stunned.
Qin Hezhou repeated, "I have to leave now. I have some personal matters to take care of."
Pei Zhiyu hasn't had any water since she woke up, and she feels very thirsty.
I wanted to ask him what his personal matter was, what did he mean by leaving, how long he would be gone, when would he come back… or would he not come back?
But it seems that she has no position. After all, she said it herself yesterday that she got married just for the inheritance.
After a while of thinking, he finally managed to say, "Oh, I see."
It is a cooperative relationship, and it is best if both parties do not cross the line.
She didn't ask any further questions, but Qin Hezhou took the initiative to explain: "I'll be back when I'm done. It might take a few days. If you have anything, remember to call me. Eat on time, get enough rest. Take your time with starting a business, don't put pressure on yourself."
"What you said..." sounded like a farewell.
Pei Zhiyu laughed, "I am an adult and capable of living independently. If you are in a hurry, just leave quickly."
Her urging tone made Qin Hezhou feel uncomfortable, but time was running out and he really had to leave, otherwise he would miss the plane and Qin Mengzhi didn't know where to go.
"Take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned and left, just like that rainy day that year.
Oreo was eating dog food in the corner, making some grunting sounds, but Pei Zhiyu seemed to hear nothing. He sat on the bed until the puppy finished breakfast and jumped onto the bed to show concern for his owner.
Pei Zhiyu suddenly woke up, touched the dog's head, got out of bed and started washing.
Jiangzhou Dongyuan International Airport.
There were still five minutes before Qin Mengzhi's flight back to China landed. Qin Hezhou rushed to the exit on time and waited. After a while, he saw two familiar figures pushing suitcases out.
Although Qin Mengzhi is over 40 years old, she is still full of energy and spirit, and it seems that even a serious illness cannot crush her.
Back then, Qin Hezhou's parents got into trouble abroad, and it was all thanks to her that she took Qin Hezhou abroad to secure the branch company and prevented those who coveted the Qin family from succeeding.
Over the years, she has taken care of Qin Hezhou like his biological parents, and Qin Hezhou treats her even better than his grandmother.
Qin Mengzhi was old and his eyesight was not very clear, so he did not notice Qin Hezhou along the way. Instead, Zhou Yanchu had sharp eyes and saw him as soon as he reached the door.
In a flash, she excitedly let go of the suitcase, rushed towards Qin Hezhou, jumped up and hugged him.
"Brother Zhou! I'm so happy that you can come pick me up!"
