This is when Lian Jin is most vigilant. If he says he won't go back for lunch now, he will definitely think too much.

In the next few days, because her movement was restricted, and she didn't like to drink the packed fish soup, Zhu Chen had to find other ways to make small dried fish and fish cakes for her.

He took leave on Monday to accompany his mother for surgery in the hospital. Lian Jin happened to be on a business trip due to work. He originally wanted to take her with him, but Meng Liuyi refused because he was busy with studies.

She made up her mind to go to Zhuchen's house for dinner after his mother's operation was successful. She would definitely celebrate it by then. There was another big table of food, and her mouth was watering just thinking about it.

After noon, Meng Liu was lying on the table preparing to take a nap when Zhu Chen's call came.

"Meng Liu, can you come to the hospital?" His voice was choked with sobs, and he knew that the operation must not have gone well.

When he rushed to the hospital in a hurry, Zhu Chen stood alone in the corridor, his eyes red and helpless, and his already thin figure looked even more shaky.

She hated seeing a man shed tears the most, so she hurriedly stepped forward, unable to say any words of comfort, and could only hold back one sentence: "My condolences."

He seemed to have come back to his senses when he heard her voice. His arms trembled slightly and he said, "Can I hug you?"

Not to mention a hug, just a couple of hugs will do.

Meng Liu put her arms around his waist, and Zhu Chen hugged her tightly. The hug probably lasted less than a minute before he let go.

Just say it once.

"I called the funeral home, they should be on their way."

Meng Liu was heartbroken. The poor child didn't even have any relatives or family when such a thing happened. He held Zhu Chen's hand and sat down, and waited silently with him to the funeral parlor.

Then we followed the car to the crematorium together.

As he watched the body being pushed into the incinerator, he sobbed in pain: "I don't have a mother anymore."

Who could hold back tears in this atmosphere? Meng Liu hugged him again: "Your mother will always bless you in heaven. If you want to cry, just cry."

Zhu Chen couldn't bear it anymore. The 1.8 meter tall man leaned on Meng Liu's neck and cried like a child.

As he accompanied him to finish his mother's funeral arrangements, Meng Liu did not forget to tell the medical foundation to send the remaining money to Zhu Chen. Although post-operative nutrition did not require money, it was still needed to buy a cemetery.

Without her, I'm afraid Zhu Chen would have to sell the house to afford it.

The driver's phone calls came one after another, but Meng Liu ignored them all. Of course, her man couldn't leave Zhu Chen alone when he was so helpless.

"You go back first, I want to be alone with her for a while." He said.

Meng Liu's eyebrows were full of worry: "Is it really okay for you to be alone?"

Zhu Chen smiled: "It's okay."

He also heard her cell phone ringing all the time. He couldn't let her have conflicts with her family because of her own affairs.

The phone call in the afternoon was made out of urgency. He had no other family members or friends. He really needed someone to accompany him in that fragile moment.

He didn't think too much at the critical moment, all he could think about was Meng Liu.

When he got home, Meng Liu turned on his mobile phone and had a video call with Lian Jin.

"Where have you been? The driver said you didn't come home on time again."

"I went to eat cake with Tang Xiao, what? Am I a prisoner now? I can't even go out for a walk?"

Hearing her resentful words, Lian Jin still felt something was strange, but in the end he did not continue the interrogation.

"Next time you go out with Tang Xiao, tell me in advance so that the driver won't worry."

"understood."

He asked sticky questions for a long time about whether he missed him, what he had eaten today, etc. Meng Liu hung up on the excuse that he was sleepy.

Lian Jin doesn't like having outsiders at home, so her aunt will go home after cooking every day.

In other words, there is no one else in the huge apartment now.

After much deliberation, she was still a little worried about Zhu Chen, and Jiang Yu hadn't figured it out yet.

So she changed her clothes and went out again.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no one on the street. Meng Liu took a taxi and went straight to Zhu Chen's community.

There were still no lights on in Jiang Yu's house, and only one corner of the window was open from beginning to end.

Meng Liu felt a little uncomfortable, so she turned into a cat and climbed up the water pipe.

The house was very messy. The cat food bowls and water on the wall were full, but there was no other human food.

All the condiments in the kitchen were taken away.

It seemed that the matter had reached a very serious stage. After waiting for a long time, Jiang Yu still didn't come back. Meng Liu turned into a human again and opened the security door from the inside.

The walls outside and the door were all written in red paint with words "pay back money" and curse words.

This was probably something only a loan shark could do. She couldn't help but think of Jiang Yu's current situation.

How is he? Are you scared? The amount of money involved in this battle is quite large. Can you really afford it by working part-time?

Unfortunately, she didn't understand the situation yet and couldn't do anything for him. With a heavy heart, she went to Zhu Chen's house.

Zhu Chen had just taken a shower and was sitting in the living room blankly. The house was filled with memories of his mother.

His parents divorced when he was very young. Because his father had an affair, all the property between the couple was given to his mother, including this house.

In his limited memory, his mother has always done some very hard work to support him in school.

So Zhu Chen also knew very well that he had to study hard and work hard to live up to his mother. Unfortunately, after ten years of hard work, his mother could not wait until the moment he was named on the gold medal list.

"Zhu Chen? Are you at home? Open the door for me."

He stood up suddenly: "Why are you here?"

If I remember correctly, her family was very strict, so she only came to his house for dinner twice, but she hasn't been there since, and it's still late at night.

"It's dangerous for a girl like you to go out in the middle of the night. Does your family know?"

Meng Liu tugged on his sleeve: "There is no one in my house today, so I don't trust you."

All the scoldings are because of this, I don’t worry that you will be melted.

Zhu Chen's throat rolled and his eyes darkened: "Do you know what it means to come to a man in the middle of the night?"

What doesn't she know? Meng Liu came here for this.

The person who steadily provided her with spiritual energy was gone, so wouldn't it be necessary to add fresh blood?

She pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, I'm very happy..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Chen covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Let me speak."

"I like you, Meng Liu." Their eyes met, and the emotion in his eyes was so intense that he couldn't let it go. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Meng Liu was speechless and nodded vigorously.

Zhu Chen smiled. For the first time, he didn't have to restrain himself and let the hand reach out to her head and rub it hard.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to make something for you?"

"I'm not hungry, I'm sleepy, let's go to bed."
