What makes you think I will always like you?

The main reason why the housekeeping aunt contacted him was because there was really no one else.

The old man and his children were out of town, and my aunt had seen him enter Professor Yin's house alone during this period.

When Chen Lu went there, the whole ward was crowded with doctors, and there was no time for him to visit.

The old man alarmed most of the hospital alone.

He took the time to find out the cause of his coma. It was a disease that elderly thieves are prone to suffer from - cerebral thrombosis.

Fortunately, the blood clot was not serious, and Professor Yin woke up at around two o'clock in the morning.

After the group of doctors finally dispersed, only Chen Lu and Professor Yin were left in the ward.

"Why are you here?" Professor Yin asked in a weak voice.

For some reason, Chen Lu always felt that the moment Professor Yin noticed that he had woken up, not only was there no luck in his eyes, but there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

"I must be here to see you." Chen Lu shrugged, "Why do you set up a housekeeping aunt as your emergency contact? The aunt can't come over, so she can only contact me."

Professor Yin may still have not completely recovered, and has been looking at the ceiling quietly.

"It's amazing, I've been to this place several times in a year."

Chen Lu was minding his own business and had nothing to say. The old man walked away behind closed doors. Most likely he didn't like being left alone.

"First I came over once when my girlfriend was in a coma due to hypoglycemia. Then a while ago, I came over again to visit a girl who jumped into the river."

"The girl who jumped into the river? The one who jumped into the Binjiang River in the news a while ago?"

"Yes, it was my friend and I who went into the water and fished it out."

"Well done." Professor Yin praised him for the first time, "But if we encounter this kind of thing again, we should leave it to professionals."

Chen Lu laughed for a moment and said, "How can I encounter so many things?"

"Tell me about it. You don't see anyone every day. Everyone knows that it's useless to flatter you. Now that you're sick, there's no one to even take the initiative to take care of you."

Chen Lu couldn't help but sigh, "Professors at the same level as you, even if they have a small cold, the number of people who come to visit them will probably fill the ward."

The two of them were close, and Chen Lu spoke much more casually.

Professor Yin spat, "It's all about profit and hypocrisy."

"Everything in the world is for profit. There is no one who is willing to treat others sincerely." Chen Lu said softly, "Interpersonal interactions, which sounds ugly, are originally exchanges of interests. Most people are like this."

Although he is getting along well with the old man now and has no intention of doing anything, he still can't deny that he, like others, came here just to ask for help.

"My wife is not like that." Professor Yin retorted coldly, and then just stared at the ceiling quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "It's just that she's not here anymore."

Chen Lu was in a daze for a moment. He felt that Professor Yin, who had always had a capable face, suddenly looked more haggard. There was still a little light shining in his eyes, but it soon disappeared.

"Go back." After a while, Professor Yin waved his hand towards him.

"I'm already here. I'll wait until your child comes back tomorrow morning before I leave."

"If you don't want to accompany me if you have a partner, I will accompany an old man who is mostly buried in the ground. You are sick. Go back." The old man was stubborn and never listened to other people's suggestions.

Chen Lu took a deep breath and stood up slowly, "Then I'll come see you tomorrow."

"Let's talk about it when we really have nothing to do. I'm taken care of by the state. I'll be making a lot of noise when the caregiver comes. It would be a big deal if I didn't have you."

Being chased away, Chen Lu had no choice but to turn around and leave.

As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly heard Professor Yin calling him again.

"Haven't you already asked all the questions you want to ask? Why are you still running towards me?"

Professor Yin's somewhat old face was full of speechlessness. It had been more than two months and he had clearly stopped helping. Chen Lu still went to him when he had something to do. It was as if he suddenly had a grandson.

Chen Lu looked at him helplessly, "If I didn't go to your house to see you, wouldn't you even have anyone to play chess with you?"

After saying that, he shook the phone in his hand and said with a bad smile: "Please leave my phone number as an emergency contact in the future. The housekeeping aunt just earns a small salary and cannot afford the responsibility of taking care of a big shot like you."

"Then I'm leaving. You can rest early."

Professor Yin stared at the closed door and choked for a moment, then snorted coldly.

You bastard, just now you were saying, "everything in the world is for profit," and now you're talking about it again.

He suddenly remembered something again and found that his clothes had been changed and he fumbled around with the clothes around him. He was relieved when he found a photo from the inner pocket of his jacket.

The photo is black and white with very low pixels. The girl in the photo has two braids and a bright smile.

"I walked around the gate of hell again, but I didn't make it."

In the silent ward, there was only the old man's subtle muttering, and his tone was full of complaints.

"I've lived almost 20 years longer than you, and you just don't want me to accompany you?"

For a long time, he felt a little dry in the mouth, so he didn't want to disturb the nurse, so he just endured it.

As a result, he suddenly turned his head and found two glasses of water on the bedside table, just within reach of him.

Only then did he remember that Chen Lu had fallen down secretly while chatting just now.

But Hui Ru...

I met a young man. This brat is really as kind-hearted as you.

......

It was already four o'clock in the morning when Chen Lu got home.

The moon is sparse and the stars are sparse, and the cold wind is biting.

There is not enough lighting in the old community. At this point, only a lamp hanging at the door of the unit is still on, illuminating a weak light.

The surroundings were silent. It was only February and not even a sound of insects could be heard.

On the way back, his thoughts were a little complicated.

In fact, Professor Yin’s current living situation is not incomprehensible.

It is said that after parents leave, life is all about returning home.

People at this age are on the road to their end. After leaving their parents and lovers, there will naturally be no one around them who only serves them well.

If you think about it from his perspective, if the same situation happened to him, he would only be more reclusive than Mr. Yin.

After all, he had been trained into her shape by some fool.

Chen Lu shook his head quickly and did not dare to think about it anymore.

Why do you want to kill yourself when you have nothing to do?

Thinking of this, Chen Lu had already walked to the door of his unit. He looked up on a whim and looked at the building in front of him.

Logically speaking, the lights in every household should be dimmed at this point.

But there happened to be a house where the lights were still on, and the window was shining alone, looking particularly lonely in the dark windows.

Looking carefully, this seems to be his home.

Isn't Hanhan still asleep?

It's four o'clock in the morning.

Chen Lu muttered in his heart, and then hurriedly slipped back home like a thief, wishing he could not even open the door without making a sound, for fear of waking up Liang Zhirou.

As a result, after entering the door, the house was completely dark.

Chen Lu stood at the entrance and was stunned for a moment, as if a question mark popped up on his head.

Did you read wrong just now?

He threw his coat on the sofa and tiptoed into the bedroom.

The bedroom was dark, and the girl could be vaguely seen lying on her side on the bed, her whole body shrunk into the quilt, and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

"I'm back." He whispered deliberately.

Liang Zhirou was still lying there sideways, unresponsive.

Chen Lu deliberately put his hand on the girl's waist, and vaguely felt that the girl's delicate body seemed to tremble, but when he looked carefully, it had returned to its even undulations.

"Stop pretending, I know you're not asleep."

Liang Zhirou's eyelids twitched, but she still didn't react.

The girl quietly bit the tip of her tongue, her thoughts were very complicated.

Oh, stop asking.

It's so late, and it will take a while for you to fall asleep as soon as I chat with you.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, don't talk anymore, I won't be able to continue acting soon...

Chen Lu curled his lips when he saw this. After changing his clothes, he got into the quilt and hugged the girl tightly.

"Goodnight wife."

He said softly.

Of course Chen Lu knew why Liang Zhirou pretended to sleep.

But he knew better why this idiot could hold on until now even though he had never stayed up all night before.

Chen Lu refused to close his eyes in the hospital. Coupled with the lack of sleep, he was really sleepy now.

I wanted to see how long Liang Zhirou could persist, but I didn't expect that he would fall asleep first.

Feeling that the man behind her was breathing gradually more evenly, Liang Zhirou suddenly opened her eyes, took two deep breaths and covered her chest with her hands, her heartbeat unable to slow down no matter what.

What are you shouting at so late at night...

Was he shouting secretly, or did he know she was pretending to sleep?

The girl couldn't understand. After all, it was possible according to Chen Lu's temper.

After a long time, Liang Zhirou held Chen Lu's cold hands in her palms and gradually fell asleep until they were completely warm.

At 36:[-] in the morning, no lights in this old building were on.
