Qin Hezhou withdrew his hand without saying a word, and silently returned to his original position, pinching the skin of the half-finished dumpling, numbly pinching the folds one by one.
He almost turned the dumplings into steamed buns.
Did I speak too harshly?
She inexplicably felt guilty. She was the one who mentioned her ex in front of him first, and now she was firing at him like a Gatling gun.
In this strange atmosphere, Pei Zhiyu finally relented: "Actually, I'll pack at least dozens of them. If you can really eat them...it's not impossible."
"!" Qin Hezhou, who was still pinching the wrinkles, suddenly had his eyes lit up.
Pei Zhiyu smiled and said, "So don't mess with the dumplings."
"Ah, oh." This sudden happiness really caught people off guard. Qin Hezhou put down the dumplings with more than a dozen wrinkles and turned around to help others.
Because the pot Aunt Yu brought was not big, she could only cook in batches, and she put the cooked food first into an insulated box.
Looking at the fully filled thermal box, Pei Zhiyu suddenly sighed.
Qin Hezhou turned around sharply and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"We could have celebrated the Spring Festival happily, but it has to be like this." Thinking of the empty look in Zhong Yue's eyes he had seen before, Pei Zhiyu felt very uncomfortable.
And Qin Mengzhi hasn't woken up yet.
Qin Hezhou saw what she was sad about at a glance. He knew that no matter how much he said to comfort her, it would be meaningless. So he rubbed her head and said, "Why don't you cry for a while? I have a shoulder and arms to hug you for free 24 hours a day."
"Tsk." Pei Zhiyu curved his eyebrows and pretended to be disdainful, but in fact he enjoyed it very much.
Qin Hezhou was standing at the side of the table, still some distance away from Pei Zhiyu. As soon as he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Pei Zhiyu's face, which was steamed white and rosy in the curling mist.
Tsk.
I just said that I am not that kind of person, but I am always easily teased.
She obviously didn't do anything...
His gaze was so burning that Pei Zhiyu couldn't help but feel it. She was looking back through the white mist.
The two people's eyes met, and as they looked at each other, it seemed as if an electric current of emotion was transmitted, intersected, and blended in the air. After a fierce confrontation, it became a soft feather when it fell on the heart.
"Plop, plop"——
I couldn't tell whether it was the sound of dumplings falling into the water or the continuous heartbeats of the two people.
In such an atmosphere, no one knew who approached whom first, but the distance was shortened to only a dozen centimeters.
Don't be impatient.
That’s right, don’t be impatient.
He gently rubbed his thumb under her eyes to wipe off the flour that had accidentally stuck to her. Pei Zhiyu tilted her head to look at him and muttered, "You're really not in a hurry."
Qin Hezhou: "..."
This is not a blatant provocation.
He seemed angry, and imitated Pei Zhiyu's previous behavior, pinching her cheeks with one hand, pouting his mouth naturally, and speaking incoherently.
I can't hear it at all.
For the first time in my life, I felt that I was quite childish.
Qin Hezhou let go of his hand and instead supported the back of her neck, while his other hand supported the back of her head, their lips just touching.
"Bang"—the door was slammed open.
Pei Zhiyu stepped back instantly, stirring the soup to hide his embarrassment.
Qin Hezhou gritted his teeth, feeling very unhappy about being interrupted. If he took out the fire in his heart, he could burn this idiot who broke in to ashes.
He glanced at the door.
Oh, this idiot is Zhou Yanli.
This is the second time. Last time it was him, and he brought Zhong Yue with him.
Seeing how anxious he was, could something have happened?
Pei Zhiyu had the same suspicion as Qin Hezhou. She had a bad feeling and asked hurriedly, "Is there something wrong with Yueyue?"
After asking, I anxiously waited for the answer.
Zhou Yanli seemed to be running too fast, and was holding on to the door frame while gasping for breath.
This made Qin Hezhou a little impatient. "You rushed over like you were going to blow up the earth, interrupting others and not saying anything. What's the point?"
"It's not Zhong Yue." Zhou Yanli answered Pei Zhiyu first.
As the two of them caught their breath, he said again, "It's Aunt Meng, she, she's awake!!"
Almost the moment he finished speaking, Qin Hezhou had already dropped the spatula and rushed out of the ward, knocking Zhou Yanli aside.
Pei Zhiyu was also surprised and happy, and hurried to follow.
When the three of them arrived at Qin Mengzhi's ward, there were medical staff sitting inside checking him.
Zhou Yanli took a deep breath and began to explain the situation. "I came back from the special care and happened to run into your domestic helper... the nurse. She told me that she saw Aunt Meng's hand moving around at noon."
"I called Doctor Zheng to come and see her. As soon as I walked in, I saw Aunt Meng open her eyes in a daze."
Qin Hezhou stood in front of the glass window, listening to him slowly say everything, but did not make any response, his eyes fixed on the movement inside.
"Thank you." Pei Zhiyu said suddenly.
Zhou Yanli was confused when he was suddenly thanked and didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Why are you thanking me?"
Pei Zhiyu explained in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's expensive for my aunt to stay at Hanfang for so long. I heard that Doctor Zheng is also an expert you specially invited back. I asked Qin Hezhou before, and he said he wasn't short of money. So I guessed that you were probably helping him."
"Oh, so that's it." He looked at Qin Hezhou and muttered to himself. He didn't expect that this man was still hiding something.
Seeing how sincere Bai Yueguang was, I always felt that the lie Qin Hezhou told at the beginning was very likely a landmine.
Creak, the ward door opened.
Dr. Zheng, with a head full of white hair, came out and saw Qin Hezhou who was guarding there at a glance.
