Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

After Ji Lin sent Ling Zhao home, he drove to school.

I received a call from Huo Mingzheng on the way.

The call was connected and Ji Lin said a word lazily.

"explain."

Even Huo Mingzheng, who is very frugal with words, rarely speaks like this.

As smart as he is, he sneered: "Do you think I'm here to call you to task?"

That's why I don't bother to say any more words to him.

"Zhong Li is Zhong Yang's cousin. Zhong Yang is your friend. It is not surprising that he would report it to you."

Ji Lin turned the steering wheel with one hand and casually fixed the mobile phone on the bracket.

"You beat someone to a cripple, and you think you're right?" Huo Mingzheng has seen many types of troublemakers.

Including himself, when he was a teenager, his father often said that he was an undisciplined troublemaker.

But I have never seen a troublemaker like Ji Lin.

Ji Lin snorted coldly, "He touched someone he shouldn't have touched."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a few seconds, "Is that the man Yanyan used to tease you?"

Ji Lin agreed.

Even if he didn't admit it, Huo Mingzheng would know it, and there was nothing he couldn't admit.

He just wanted to help Ling Zhao.

Last night, whether it was Ling Zhao as a man being defiled by Zhong Li, or Ling Zhao as a woman being defiled, Ji Lin couldn't imagine how crazy he would be, and whether he would directly take Zhong Li's life.

He was just crippled, that was too easy for him.

At this time, Huo Mingzheng said three meaningful words from the other end of the phone: "It's him again."

Ji Lin held the steering wheel, making sure he had heard correctly, "What do you mean it's him again?"

There was a sound of a lighter being lit on the other end of the phone, and Huo Mingzheng said slowly: "You had a fight with Zhong Li when you were in high school. Was it also because of him?"

Back then, he didn't take it seriously at all. He knew that Ji Lin was venting his anger on his deskmate, and he just thought that Zhong Li's scolding was too harsh. The way young boys in their prime release their emotions is often simple and rough.

But he didn't expect that after so many years, it was still these three people.

Ji Lin didn't expect that Huo Mingzheng actually knew about that.

"Who told you that?"

"My wife."

Ji Lin: "..."

Of course he knew that Huo Mingzheng and Fu Yan had already obtained their marriage certificate.

But the sudden word "wife" scared him.

Is this still the same aloof Huo Mingzheng?

"Why would she tell you that?"

"Back then, Yanyan was worried that the Zhong family would cause trouble for you, so she asked me to help warn the Zhong family."

It turned out to be the case.

Afterwards, Fu Yan never mentioned this matter to him.

Zhong Li never caused him any trouble and was even transferred to another class.

He thought that the people in the Zhong family were really cowards.

"Then it was she and you today... No, she probably didn't know that I beat Zhong Li."

Huo Mingzheng on the other end of the phone flicked off his cigarette ash and said, "At that time, I agreed to her every request because I had no identity. But now I am her legally certified husband. Do I still need her to ask for it in person?"

There is a difference between close and distant relatives, and Zhong Yang is just a friend of his with whom he has a shallow relationship.

Ji Lin is Yanyan's maternal family member, his eldest brother-in-law...

But he definitely couldn't shout it out in front of Ji Lin.

Huo Mingzheng's words were too convoluted. If it weren't for Ji Lin's quick thinking, he would have almost been unable to understand.

He endured it for a while before he could bear it any longer, "You are so showy."

"The Zhong family won't cause you any trouble."

Ji Lin drove the car towards the school.

Hearing this, he first said thank you, and then said indifferently: "Even if they really come to find me, just tell them to come to me."

Before hanging up the phone, Ji Lin suddenly asked, "Huo Mingzheng?"

"Ok?"

"How did you learn to cook?"

Huo Mingzheng: "...Why, you're suddenly interested in cooking?"

Ji Lin didn't say he wanted to cook for Ling Zhao.

He now recalled that Fu Yan's stomach was completely healed by Huo Mingzheng.

Of course he had no intention of conquering Ling Zhao's stomach, he simply wanted Ling Zhao to eat what he cooked.

His cheeks heated up and he hummed.

But Huo Mingzheng said, "I can't teach you."

"why?"

"You are Yanyan's best friend. Birds of a feather flock together. I know her cooking skills very well. You are definitely not much better."

As soon as he said that, Ji Lin suddenly couldn't refute.

Because he had eaten the food cooked by Fu Yan, and except for the fruit porridge, none of the food could be described as bad.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Lin stepped on the accelerator and drove into the school.

After he finished class, he called Ling Zhao.

The phone rang several times before it was connected.

"Ling Zhao."

"Hmm...what's wrong..."

Ji Lin frowned.

Ling Zhao's hoarse and low voice came from the other end of the phone, "I, I'm sleeping."

Only then did Ji Lin realize that Ling Zhao was really too tired last night.

"Okay, go to sleep first."

Ji Lin unconsciously wanted to coax her.

Ling Zhao, who was feeling sleepy, didn't notice anything wrong.

As soon as the phone call was hung up, Ji Lin received another call on his cell phone.

The call was from the doctor who drew Ling Zhao's blood this afternoon.

"Mr. Xiao Ji, the examination results show that the drugs in your friend's body have been cleared."

Ji Lin said politely: "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. But..."

The doctor paused and said, "I found something else in your friend's blood."

"what?"

"It's an ingredient similar to hormone drugs."

Ji Lin was stunned.

Hormone drugs.

On Ling Zhao?

"Excuse me, do you know what this medicine is used for?"

The doctor patiently said: "It can change a person's voice, and from what I saw in his blood, it must be because he has been taking it for a long time that this blood picture appears."

Ji Lin’s whole body stiffened.

He thought about the reason why Ling Zhao's voice was so realistic that people would not suspect that he was actually a woman, but he never thought that it was because of drugs.

He clenched his fists, his face heavy, "Are there any side effects of this medicine?"

"There are many side effects, the most typical of which is that if a woman uses it, her menstrual period every month will be worse than death..."

Ji Lin could no longer hear what the doctor said next.

He thought about how he had contacted Ling Zhao a few days ago, but Ling Zhao rejected his invitation on the grounds that he was busy with schoolwork at home.

More than once, and at similar times.

I guess it must be because of the excruciating pain during menstruation that she can't go out.

Ji Lin loosened his tightly clenched fingers, and then clenched them again.

Ling Zhao definitely did not take this medicine voluntarily.

She was able to force Ling Zhao to take the medicine obediently, and forced him to try hard not to let the outside world discover his true gender, and he pretended for more than 20 years.

Only the closest relatives around you can do such a thing.

The one who can find Ling Zhao's weakness is Ling Zhao's unconscious mother.

The one who can take control of these initiatives is Ling Zhao's father.

Ling Feng.

……

Ling Zhao was sleeping soundly and vaguely heard his cell phone ringing.

Her hand groped on the bedside table and finally found her cell phone. She picked up the call without even checking the caller ID.

"Ok?"

Her voice had a trailing tone, which made Ji Lin feel both distressed and soft-hearted.

"Get up and open the window."

When Ling Zhao heard Ji Lin's voice, he woke up halfway. When he heard him say to open the window, he woke up completely.

Is that what she thought?

Ling Zhao didn't even bother to put on his slippers, he stepped barefoot on the ground and trotted over to open the window.

As night fell, Ji Lin stood in the courtyard of the house, smiling and waving at her.

He said on the phone: "I want to come and see you, Ling Zhao."
