The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 30
It was half an hour after Zhou Yanchi coaxed Zhou Titi to sleep.During this period, Du Ruoheng wanted to leave several times, but was firmly held by Zhou Yanchi's hand.She struggled hard and gave warning eyes, but Zhou Yanchi turned his face away from her.Then Du Ruoheng heard Zhou Titi sweetly calling Dad over there, she bit Zhou Yanchi's wrist in spite of hatred, her teeth penetrated the skin texture and reached the capillary layer in an instant.

Soon Du Ruoheng tasted a hint of rust.Zhou Yan shook his wrist, frowned and looked down at her.Du Ruoheng stared back arrogantly.

Zhou Yanchi hung up the phone hastily, and said to her, "When will you get rid of your habit of biting people?"

Du Ruoheng asked in his heart, are you human? You are not human at all, and responded coldly: "People only switch to the emergency state when they encounter enemies. This is a normal reaction."

Zhou Yanchi began to rub the center of his eyebrows, and said, "Next weekend, I will take Titi to visit her grandparents in City W. Do you want to come with me?"

Du Ruoheng once got along well with the two elders of the Zhou family.Especially Zhou's mother, who took extra care of her since the first time they met that year.When Du Ruoheng proposed to divorce Zhou Yanchi back then, there were many people who opposed it. Apart from Zhou Yanchi himself, the most vocal objections were both parents.Especially the two elders of the Zhou family, they rushed back to T city from abroad on the day they heard the news. One persuaded Du Ruoheng, and the other wanted to beat his son with a cane in front of Du Ruoheng, saying that it was you who were outside. Being promiscuous and making Xiao Du so angry that she insisted on getting a divorce!
Zhou Yanchi said that this is not the reason for Ah Heng's divorce. She doesn't care if I find a hundred women. Don't worry too much about us.Besides, you are not qualified to teach me this.

The indifferent attitude made the old man's blood pressure soar on the spot, and he almost lost his breath when he tilted his neck.

The two eventually divorced.After the divorce, Du Ruoheng and Zhou Yan came to S City with half of his wealth, and were recommended by Su Qiu to work as room manager in Jingman.For a while after the divorce, the relationship between Du Ruoheng and Zhou Yanchi had dropped to a freezing point, but the two elders of the Zhou family cared and tolerated her as always.He only said with emotion that the Zhou family and Zhou Yanchi were unlucky, so they couldn't keep a generous and reasonable daughter-in-law like Du Ruoheng.He also found out Du Ruoheng's current address, and occasionally asked someone to send her something, sometimes it was skin care products like snow clams, and sometimes it was seasonal cold fresh products like hairy crabs.

Du Ruoheng was extremely ashamed of this, and felt that there was nothing in return.Once I asked Su Qiu anxiously what to do about it, Su Qiu said it was a good thing and not a bad thing, what are you afraid of, you can visit her during the holidays and return some gifts, then it will be over.

Du Ruoheng solemnly said that I always feel that the two elders are less courteous and more affectionate, Su Qiu didn't even raise her eyebrows and said save yourself, otherwise what else can you do, maybe you can still remarry Zhou Yanchi for a few hairy crabs?

This speech left Du Ruoheng speechless.As a junior, the only way to show more respect and care than the two elders is to visit with gifts in person.

But Du Ruoheng didn't want to visit City W with Zhou Yanchi: "I have nothing to do."

"The old lady misses you very much. She was nagging me about you when I went back last time."

Du Ruoheng said: "The two elders never mentioned you when I went back. It can be seen that I don't want to see you at all." After finishing speaking, she felt regretful. She subconsciously wanted to pay back to him for such unnecessary angry words, but she talked too much. I feel that it doesn't make any sense.

So silent.

She quieted down on the sofa, a little dazed.There were only the two of them in the room, and Du Ruoheng's unconscious sitting posture was much more demure and elegant than before, as if in a public place.This is partly a consequence of her working in the hotel for over a year.Zhou Yanchi looked at her silently for a while, from head to toe, not letting go of a hair.Finally he said: "We weighed Zhou Titi two days ago, sixteen kilograms."

"Ah."

"The teacher said that she has performed well in the kindergarten for more than a month and is very polite. She also gets along well with her deskmate. The deskmate is a boy named Xi Ruichen."

Du Ruoheng said, "It's good for her to be happy."

Zhou Yanchi suddenly said: "Is it because we can't calmly talk about other things besides Zhou Titi?"

Du Ruoheng glanced at him, and regained that look of repelling people thousands of miles away.She walked out with a cold face, this time Zhou Yanchi didn't stop her again and sent her to the door.When the door was closed, Du Ruoheng heard a waiter calling Manager Du from the other side of the corridor.

When she got closer, the new room service worker who had been hired for less than a month said timidly: "...I ruined the clothes of the VIP guests."

When Du Ruoheng looked up, there was an angry guest standing at the door of the guest room not far away.

Du Ruoheng knew this person very well.

However, there are always two types of hotel guests, one is popular and the other is not.This guest surnamed Xie obviously belongs to the second category, and has a bad record all the time - teasing the room service staff, not paying attention to hygiene, swearing, arguing with other guests, and being fussy.It is a collection of all kinds of superb personalities.But at the same time, he makes a lot of contribution to the hotel's income every year, and even holds the annual meeting of his S city branch here. The hotel can't easily drag people into the blacklist.

Nowadays, the waiter has mistakenly changed the dry cleaning of the clothes into wet cleaning, and a whole set of suits and dresses is scrapped. In any case, there must be the responsibility of the hotel. In addition, it is such a difficult guest, how can Du Ruoheng Can you not have a headache.

Sure enough, the other party saw her, and became even more angry: "How on earth do you do things in your hotel? Fortunately, it is still a five-star hotel, and such trivial things are done like this! Who will pay for this dress that adds up to more than 1 yuan? What should I wear to attend the ceremony tomorrow? I’m going in my pajamas? If the news gets out, I think you guys don’t want to do business at all!”

Du Ruoheng could only apologize after a thousand words: "Mr. Xie, this may be a mistake in our work, I am very sorry." Then he turned his head and asked the waiter seriously, "What's going on?"

The other party said angrily: "What else is there to say? I asked her to do the laundry, but she washed me like this!"

The waiter was so aggrieved that he was about to cry: "He asked me to fill in the laundry form yesterday, so I filled it out, and he didn't say whether it was dry cleaning or wet cleaning..."

"Why didn't I tell you? I told you clearly to let you do the dry cleaning! You didn't remember it and you are still relying on me. Your hotel staff have this kind of quality?!"

The waiter simply cried out loud.

Du Ruoheng sighed in his heart, it was another dispute caused by unclear responsibilities.Every time this kind of thing happened to her, she felt tired. She didn't like dealing with unreasonable guests, and she tended to lose patience faster than the other party.

At this time, discussing the issue that the laundry list can only be filled out and signed by the guests, the other party will definitely not listen to it. She can only apologize more softly: "Our waiter has just arrived, and we feel sorry for the mistakes caused. I'm very sorry, we will find out the problem and compensate you according to the hotel's regulations. For the inconvenience caused by your attendance at the ceremony tomorrow, we can send you a dress book for you to choose from. I don't know if you need it. In addition, it is getting dark now, look... "

Du Ruoheng talked for more than ten minutes, but the other party still refused to let go.Her mouth was dry with good words, and she had a premonition from experience that the compensation would be fully charged to the hotel in the end, and it might be more than [-] yuan.She felt exhausted because of this, and besides that, she was very disgusted with the more and more direct eyes the other party was staring at her.But she couldn't avoid it no matter what.It's work, it's her area of ​​responsibility.

The other party interrupted her suddenly: "I can't accept what you said. We still need to talk in depth. It's not good to be so noisy in the corridor. Come into my room and let's have a good talk."

Du Ruoheng took a step back sensitively, thinking about the appropriate words: "Since you can't reach an agreement with me, then I'll call the deputy general manager of the hotel to talk to you, what do you think?"

The other party couldn't help but say that five stubby fingers had already grabbed her sleeves. Du Ruoheng struggled but failed to break free. Suddenly, the alarm bell rang: "This is a hotel, Mr. Xie!"

She struggled hard, and finally shook off the opponent's hand.Du Ruoheng was wearing high-heeled shoes, so he took a heavy step back and failed to support the wall. He was about to fall, but two hands that appeared suddenly grabbed his arms and pulled him up forcibly.

Zhou Yanchi was still wearing the dark blue nightgown, and when Du Ruoheng regained his footing, he quietly blocked the person behind him.He frowned and said, "You guys are so noisy that people can't sleep?"

When the other party saw him, his whole attitude changed: "Mr. Zhou is also in this hotel? It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm sorry to disturb you accidentally, come in and have a drink together?"

Zhou Yanchi stood still: "It's just a piece of clothing, but it can be heard from the other side of the corridor. I thought that the magnanimous Mr. Xie would not be able to do such a vile thing. Could it be that he drank too much tonight? "

"..."

"I heard that Mr. Xie's company has encountered some bank loan problems recently? Has the application been approved?" Zhou Yanchi rolled up his sleeves and became more merciless, "If the years are unfavorable, it is even more important to accumulate virtue. "

Two minutes later, Du Ruoheng stood at the door of the elevator, and in a cold voice reprimanded the trembling waiter: "This is the only time, don't let me see it again. When I go back, I will memorize the housekeeping service rules verbatim." However, write a self-criticism and submit it to my office tomorrow. In addition, if it is not fortunate that the other party did not pursue compensation, you would have deducted another three months of salary to offset the account, and now I will only deduct half of your salary for this month."

The little girl didn't dare to answer, and left without saying a word.When she was the only one left in the mirror of the elevator, Du Ruoheng didn't look back, but she knew that Zhou Yanchi was standing not far away.

In the past, every time Zhou Yanchi helped her, big or small, he would tease her and ask her to pay a little.It's an old tradition, almost since he cooked for her when she was abroad.At that time, the two had reached an agreement that he would cook for her once a week, and she would help him find some professional information.Even though Du Ruoheng didn't understand a lot of things, and she might find the things he sent in a mess, but this agreement has always been maintained, even after marriage.

Du Ruoheng waited for how he planned to claim credit this time.After a while, Zhou Yanchi said, "Nothing to say?"

Du Ruoheng didn't say a word.The scene just now made her feel complicated.The result was very good, it was handled perfectly and quickly, but if this person hadn't appeared, she would have been able to settle the matter and escape unscathed, it just took a little time.

If Zhou Yanchi wanted her to thank her, then she had already said it to him in front of the waiter at the first time, with courtesy and sincerity.

Du Ruoheng really felt that he had nothing to say to him right now.

She waited for him to take the initiative to speak, and was ready to be asked.After all, it is a help, and as long as the conditions are not excessive, they will agree. This is a matter of character.Du Ruoheng thought so.But after waiting for a long time, no one spoke.She turned her head, the corridor was empty, and Zhou Yanchi had already left.

Du Ruoheng came home after ten o'clock. Standing on the balcony, his sleeves fluttered by the cool night wind, he pursed his lips and called Su Qiu.

The two have been good friends for many years, they were classmates in high school, and they were neighbors in university. After graduation, Su Qiu worked in S City alone, and cried to Du Ruoheng on the phone for ten and a half months, telling me when did you come to my side and which man? It’s unbelievable to throw away your husband, I’m so lonely, I miss you so much, wait for you to come, we’ll fight for three days and three nights, but when Du Ruoheng really throws Zhou Yanchi away and comes to S City, Su Qiu Apart from helping her find a job together, she usually doesn't even show her face, and basically doesn't make phone calls.

Du Ruoheng ridiculed her for saying one thing and doing another, Su Qiu said that I will feel safe when you are all here.

Neither of them has a clingy personality, and Su Qiu's ideas are even sharper than Du Ruoheng's.She works as a middle-level manager of a foreign company. She walks in high heels every day without touching the ground. She is essentially pessimistic about men and doesn't even have time to look at them.

After the divorce, Du Ruoheng was able to walk out of the shadows, most of which was due to Su Qiu.

It rang twice and was picked up.Su Qiu was still working overtime, her tone was exhausted.After listening to Du Ruoheng's narration, he casually let out a sigh.

Du Ruoheng was dissatisfied, and said you, what does it mean? I said so much, it is worth one of you, huh?
Su Qiu said, what else do you want me to do? You must know that you were kind enough to him in the past. If you are afraid of getting married like that, you will end up getting married later. After you get married, you will do the housework and family work. Who is worthy? Who does this for nothing? He has a job and you don't?He is busy outside and you are helping him in addition to your work. How many friends and communication have you lost because of this?Also, who said that you will never have children?Have you forgotten why you bled so much when you gave birth?After making it like this, didn't he give birth to a child for him to play with?After you have done so much, he should have been so pleasant to you, otherwise Zhou Yanchi would not even be considered a beast in clothes, he would be a walking dead at all.

It took Du Ruoheng a long time to say, oh.

In a bad mood, she went to make supper for herself.After entering the kitchen, I realized that I forgot to buy cooking oil and flour today. I opened the cabinet under the countertop, and it was really empty.

She was in a worse mood.I simply went to run on the treadmill in the living room.

After the divorce, Du Ruoheng couldn't get used to living alone for a long time.Including lack of security, light sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, not daring to open the window, even having obsessive-compulsive disorder to doubt whether the door is locked when going out.Besides that, there are other inconveniences.For example, from now on, I have to step on a ladder by myself to change the light tubes on the ceiling, let strangers come in to repair the sewer pipes alone at home, go to the supermarket to buy ten kilograms of cooking oil and flour by myself, and then bend down under the watchful eyes of everyone. Get them into the car, and then drive back and get them upstairs and take them home.Every time I do this, I have to catch my breath for a while.

At this time, a sense of psychological gap will inevitably appear.Du Ruoheng spent some time and energy digesting this emotion, and Su Qiu played a great guiding role in this.

Su Qiu is an increasingly staunch non-marriage advocate.She told Du Ruoheng that one person and two people will pay a price no matter which way.The role of a man to a woman is, at best, the warmth and sense of security like a pet, timely making a bottle opener and a bridge ladder for changing light tubes, as well as some comfort, money and labor.In the past, it was true that you had to learn from men, but now you can replace it with other things or yourself.Have you ever heard of substitutes in economics?The more substitutes there are, the more the value of an item plummets.So there is a reason why women feel that men in this society are becoming more and more useless.

Then she brainwashed Du Ruoheng like this: "Divorce is not the end, let depression drown yourself is the end."

Su Qiu took Du Ruoheng to the beauty salon on the day she came to S City after her divorce, and dragged Du Ruoheng to apply for a fitness card the next day.In the end, the two of them ate by the window of the revolving restaurant in the high tower of S city. Su Qiu ate heartily while saying that in order to celebrate your rebirth, this meal took more than half a year of my savings, you know.

Du Ruoheng made a guilty expression and said that's too embarrassing, or I can treat this meal, but I want the Chanel skin you are wearing.

Du Ruoheng stayed on the treadmill for half an hour.The night wind in late autumn blows through the screen window, and it feels very refreshing when it caresses on someone's back.Du Ruoheng tossed himself until he was exhausted before going to bed. He thought he would sleep soundly, but he had a nightmare.

In the dream, she was arguing with Zhou Yanchi, before she mentioned the divorce.Zhou Yanchi said: "It doesn't matter if you are not telling the truth. Anyway, whether you listen or not, you can't change the consequences. You can't think about it, don't play your temper? Tell me everything and report everything to you. Think I am fishing and playing ball every day. Something? You were not like this before, when did you become this kind of person?"

Du Ruoheng kicked him hard in his sleep.Finally, she got rid of the frustration that she was in a daze and didn't have time to commit violence on the day of the quarrel.

By the next morning, Du Ruoheng had a fever by chance.

She slept until nine o'clock, missed the morning meeting, and only woke up when Kang Chen called to greet her.Dizzy thinking should be the result of too much wind blowing at night.Kang Chen asked over there, "Where are you now?"

Du Ruoheng said that he was still at home, and asked him to take sick leave for fever.

Kang Chen hummed with a rising voice: "Why did you have a fever? Are you at home now? I'll go over and take you to the hospital."

Du Ruoheng held his sweating forehead and said, "I'll just take a taxi."

"Don't hold back at this time. It's not safe to do things when a person has a fever. You pack up and I'll pick you up."

Du Ruoheng reported the address.Kang Chen asked her to wait for 15 minutes.A quarter of an hour later, I heard someone ring the doorbell.She let Kang Chen in, thanked him with narrowed eyes, and murmured that it would take me 10 minutes to get home from the hotel at the fastest, how did you do it? Teach me, from now on, I can just sleep in for an extra 5 minutes in the morning. .

Kang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he said that it's okay, you don't need to take your body temperature, you've got a fever.

Du Ruoheng reacted two beats slower, only heard a few words in the words, and then said that I have measured 38 degrees nine.

Kang Chen wrapped her hat and scarf more and more tightly, smiled with the corners of her eyes upturned, and agreed that I knew that we should go to the hospital now.

When I went to the hospital to register for an infusion, Du Ruoheng fell asleep after waking up for a while.In the middle, she was woken up by Su Qiu's phone call, saying that she was near Jing Man, and wanted to have dinner together at noon.Du Ruoheng was too weak to reply that I had a fever and couldn't eat, so Su Qiu immediately asked where the hospital was and she would come right away.

Du Ruoheng hung up the phone and went back to sleep. When she woke up again, she didn't know what time it was. The fingers of the infusion hand were being gently held by someone. The warmth of the other's palm made her feel comfortable in her unconsciousness, so she outlined her little finger. , and soon the hand was released, and it was carefully put under the quilt.

Du Ruoheng slowly opened his eyes. The person next to him was still slender even though he was sitting on a chair. He was wearing a dark windbreaker and a light-colored shirt, with a car key ring hooked on his left index finger and a pair of silver wings on it.Going up, I saw a face with no expression, but the jaw line was smooth and flowing, and the eyebrows and eyes were familiar and deep.

Du Ruoheng was still a little slow to react, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here? Where is Kang Chen, has he gone back to the hotel?"

Zhou Yanchi remained silent for a moment.After a while, there was a bit of gnashing of teeth: "You even know how to make people uncomfortable when you have a fever."

Du Ruoheng's consciousness slowly came back, and his attitude became lukewarm: "You don't even let the patients want to quarrel?"

Zhou Yanchi simply didn't answer.God knows what Du Ruoheng's theories are at this moment.Seeing that she was trying to sit up with her arms propped up, she got up and helped her put the pillow upright.

The two were silent with each other for a while, and Zhou Yanchi said, "Why did you have a fever? It was fine yesterday."

Du Ruoheng raised his eyelids to glance at him, then lowered them again, as if he didn't want to answer at all.

Zhou Yanchi said again: "Have you had breakfast, are you hungry now?"

To be honest, Du Ruoheng was indeed a little hungry. She had been infused with fluids all morning on an empty stomach, and now she just wanted to drink hot porridge, but she was no longer used to saying this to Zhou Yanchi.As a result, his complexion became more and more ugly, and his eyebrows were also furrowed, wishing that Zhou Yanchi could understand her expression and leave immediately.

Sure enough, Zhou Yanchi stood up following her thoughts.But his words were: "What do you want to eat, hot porridge, okay?"

"Do not you upset?"

Zhou Yanchi glanced at the bottle that was still dripping, and twirled the car key in his hand: "I'm going to buy some hot porridge. There should be enough time to go back and forth. If I don't come back, I'll ring the bell beside the bed to call the nurse. "

Du Ruoheng frowned even tighter: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, why don't you just leave and don't come back, okay?"

Zhou Yanchi ignored her words, turned around and walked out.After taking two steps and then stopping, Kang Chen appeared at the door of the ward carrying a light blue thermos bucket.

Kang Chen's eyes fell on the two people inside one by one, and his eyebrows were raised slightly.First he nodded with Zhou Yanchi, and then smiled at Du Ruoheng: "I think you must be hungry when you wake up, so I went outside and bought some porridge and came back. The temperature should be fine. Since you are awake, it's better now Eat it while it's hot?"

Kang Chen put the porridge in front of Du Ruoheng, who said thank you for your trouble several times.She really felt that it was troublesome for him to push others by herself, so she spoke sincerely and sincerely.Kang Chen smiled but didn't answer, just handed her the spoon: "There's some fermented soybeans in it, try it to see if it suits your taste."

Du Ruoheng took a sip and nodded in praise: "It tastes good."

"That's good." Kang Chen greeted Zhou Yanchi again, "Have Mr. Zhou eaten breakfast? There's still a lot of this porridge, let's have some together?"

Zhou Yanchi looked cold: "Thank you, no need."

The three of them were in the same room, which was inexplicably a little more embarrassing.Du Ruoheng avoided the infusion hand and drank the porridge carefully without saying a word, while Kang Chen looked relaxed and asked Zhou Yanchi, "How did Mr. Zhou know that Manager Du was sick and hospitalized?"

Du Ruoheng silently evaluated Kang Chen's question in his heart.Zhou Yanchi has always been a person who cherishes his words like gold. Besides, he is used to doing things as he pleases, and he doesn't bother to tell others his whereabouts and the ins and outs, as we can tell from the previous quarrels between him and her.Coupled with Zhou Yanzhi's arrogant character, Kang Chen might not even give him face if he asked him this.

Sure enough, Zhou Yanchi did not answer.Not even picking a look.

After Kang Chen cleaned up the bowls and spoons, he bid farewell. Before leaving, he told Du Ruoheng that he had asked for a day off for her, and that he would call him if there was anything else.

Du Ruoheng was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, while Zhou Yanchi was talking on the phone with his secretary Zhang Yaran by the window.Although the voice was low, it was still faintly audible in the quiet room.

Sometimes Du Ruoheng would be very surprised by Zhou Yanzhi's messy behavior, and even his whole personality conflicted with her Du Ruoheng's ideas for many years.For example, he would never shy away from her no matter how confidential and important matters were, but at the same time, he was too lazy to communicate and report everything to her.Sometimes when Du Ruoheng asked, he would usually say that worrying too much would hurt his mind, but he still wouldn't report it in the end.

In addition, it is undeniable that Zhou Yanchi has always treated her very well. He seldom cares about anyone, and Du Ruoheng is undoubtedly one of them.No matter before or after marriage, Zhou Yanchi's way of treating her was quite enviable to the insiders around him, but at the same time, he kept her one, two or three little lovers with green hats outside.

What a contradictory combination, so contradictory that Du Ruoheng sometimes wanted to lift Zhou Yanchi's head to see if there were two people living in it.

After Su Qiu learned of Zhou Yanchi's infidelity after marriage, she commented that it was a very normal social phenomenon.A considerable number of modern men have such a dream. To love their wives deeply, to be new lovers, to raise a lover and to spoil their wives are both natural and right, but some human rights and money cannot be achieved.If you ask these people personally, they might answer you like this——Oh, is it too stressful, and I can’t bear to let you share it, so I have to find someone else occasionally, but my heart and affection are always firmly with you, Isn't that enough?
Du Ruoheng could only sigh in silence.

Zhang Yaran finished talking about business matters on the phone, and then began to talk about personal matters: "Miss Lan Yuroulan hung up the phone today and said that a new restaurant has opened in Dongcheng District, and asked if you are free to eat there with her recently."

Zhou Yanchi said, "No time."

"And Miss Zhang Ruru..."

Du Ruoheng suddenly felt bored, and commanded Zhou Yanchi: "Open the window."

Zhou Yanchi glanced at her and pressed the phone on his shoulder: "Why do you have a fever and open the window?"

"Can you open it?"

Zhou Yanchi said a few words to Zhang Yaran in a hurry, then hung up the phone, walked to the bedside to test the temperature of his forehead, but Du Ruoheng frowned and avoided it.She started to chase people away: "Why don't you leave?"

Zhou Yanchi glanced at her: "What will you do when I'm gone, who will take you home later?"

Du Ruoheng's tone became completely indifferent: "I don't want you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a clear cough at the door.Su Qiu walked in, with a smile on her face: "I thought Ruoheng was the only one who came here alone, but I didn't expect you to be here. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here."

Su Qiu has a very good relationship with Du Ruoheng, and indirectly, he also gets along with Zhou Yanchi a little bit.Su Qiu used to be Du Ruoheng's bridesmaid, and Zhou Yanchi took care of her work later on.Facts have proved that Zhou Yanchi's influence is far-reaching. Even if Su Qiu's job is far away in S city, a simple sentence from Zhou Yanchi is enough for her to smoothly choose a department that suits her and feel like a fish in water in it.

Su Qiu confirmed that the drip was the last bottle, and asked if she wanted to take Du Ruoheng home later.Du Ruoheng said yes. I just left the cosmetics brought by my colleague from France before I could give them to you at home. Zhou Yanchi stepped aside and said, "I'll take her back."

After he finished speaking, he went outside to ask the nurse to pull out the needle. Su Qiu opened his mouth and finally showed a ghostly expression: "Why is he here? Did you two catch a cold when you went to bed reliving the old dream last night?"

When Du Ruoheng said fuck off, Su Qiu wanted to tease her, but when Zhou Yanchi walked in, she changed her words: "Does Mr. Zhou recognize the star Lan Yurou?"

Zhou Yanchi stopped and looked at her.

Du Ruoheng started to pinch Su Qiu's thigh under the quilt again, but Su Qiu didn't seem to notice, just smiled and said, "If you recognize her, can you ask me for an autograph? I have a little niece who has been obsessed with her lately."

Su Qiu stayed for a short time before leaving, and in the end it was Zhou Yanchi who sent Du Ruoheng home.The car stopped in front of the supermarket for a while, and when he left and came back, Zhou Yanchi was full of things in his hand.In addition to meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, Du Ruoheng also saw cooking oil and flour: "Why are you buying these?"

"These things in your house should be empty."

"My house is full of these things."

"Then make a bet." He calmed down, "If you lose the bet, follow me and Zhou Titi to W City to see the elder."

Du Ruoheng squinted at him.

When he got home, Zhou Yanchi started to do the housework, first steamed custard, and then took advantage of his spare time to sweep and mop the floor.Du Ruoheng lay on the bed and watched him roll up his sleeves back and forth in front of the bedroom door, and the way he bent over to do the cleaning was distantly familiar.

Many years ago when Du Ruoheng was not familiar with Su Qiu abroad, Zhou Yanchi also came over to help her clean up during Christmas.At first, it was just a joke about the consequences of his losing the bet, but later Du Ruoheng went out together, and Zhou Yanchi's weekly cleaning became a habit just like cooking.

After a long time, Du Ruoheng was leaning against the window, digging into an ice cream cup, admiring in his heart, this man is so handsome in a pink apron and plastic gloves wiping the floor.

How far away.I can't remember easily.

Zhou Yanchi brought the prepared custard into the bedroom, and then began to prepare for the laundry.During the years when Du Ruoheng lived abroad, he became a pentathlon of housework, cooking, washing dishes, washing, storing and mopping the floor. He even knew which washing powder would hurt his hands the least.Although I have never done it again after returning to China, but now I am returning to my old business, and I am still quite skilled in fact.

Du Ruoheng watched as he sorted the clothes in the laundry basket one by one, and then threw them into the washing machine on the balcony.Zhou Yanchi is not very proficient in setting the automatic laundry timer, after all, he did not have this intelligence when he washed her clothes many years ago.

Du Ruoheng didn't even want to say anything.Anyway, no matter what she said, she couldn't stop him, so she simply let him go.

It was an hour before the room was cleaned.The TV in the living room was showing Hepburn's black-and-white movie. Du Ruoheng swallowed the pills and nestled on the sofa. The cold made her drowsy, and she was too lazy to stop Zhou Yanchi from peeling apples.

Zhou Yanchi's fingers are slender and flexible, just doing this movement is like art.Then he squeezed the apple piece close to her mouth, watched her bite it into her mouth and swallowed it, and said: "I have a meeting to leave later, if you have a fever again, call me in time."

Du Ruoheng turned over, still ignoring him.Zhou Yanchi said a few words to her behind her back, but there was no response, and gradually he couldn't find anything to talk about.

He tucked the quilt behind her back, heard her gradually shallow and even breathing, and stopped talking to her.After another 10 minutes, Du Ruoheng, who was asleep with his eyes closed, finally heard the sound of him getting up.Then the footsteps gradually left, and the door was gently closed.The voice couldn't be softer.

Du Ruoheng opened his eyes, looked out the window with a complicated expression, closed his eyes again after a while, and finally fell asleep this time.
