She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

When I fell to the ground, Wu Ling was the first to react and support me, but Zhou Hanzhi hugged me around the waist and I couldn't move.

Wu Ling was getting impatient when the door to the Zhou family's living room suddenly closed. She was furious and kicked Zeng Zhi who was chasing after her: "You bastard! Don't go too far!"

The door to Zhou Hanzhi's living room is an automatic door, but he usually never closes his door. Before I dragged him in just now, the door to the living room was open.

It is impossible for the door to lock automatically. In Zhou Hanzhi's current state, it is impossible for him to lock the door. The only possibility is that Zeng Zhi locked the door.

Wu Ling's kick was very heavy. She was wearing a pointed high-heeled shoe, and her toe just happened to kick Zeng Zhi's leg. Zeng Zhi bent over in pain and covered his knee, but hurried to explain: "Baby, I didn't close the door."

"If it's not you, then could it be Zhou Hanzhi? He's already a fool, how could he know to lock the door?" Wu Ling kicked him again and roared, "Open the door quickly!"

She lowered her head and pulled Zhou Hanzhi's arm, but couldn't move him at all. She was so anxious that she scolded Zeng Zhi again: "What are you doing standing there! Pull your stupid boss away!"

"I, I can't open the door..." Zeng Zhi supported Zhou Hanzhi, but stammered, "This door is locked by itself. Brother Zhou's illness has been getting worse and worse recently, and the attacks are getting more and more frequent. He lives alone and has no one to take care of him. He is worried that he will do something extreme when he is sick, so he set this up. It will automatically lock the door at 11 o'clock at night. He didn't tell me the password, so I can't open it either."

Zhou Hanzhi held me tightly in his arms and I struggled hard. But when I heard Zeng Zhi's words, my hands suddenly became weak and I didn't have the energy to fight him off.

He has been getting sicker and sicker lately, and his attacks are becoming more frequent?

Why did he get sick in the first place, and why have he been having frequent attacks recently?

I turned my head to look at Zhou Hanzhi behind me. After I gave up struggling, he hugged me even tighter. I was wrapped in his arms. He lowered his head and buried his face deeply in my neck.

"What do you mean?" Wu Ling exploded again after hearing Zeng Zhi's words.

Zeng Zhi didn't dare to look into her eyes. He lowered his head and lowered his voice: "What I mean is, unless Brother Zhou can wake up immediately and is willing to enter the password to open the door, otherwise we can only wait here until six o'clock tomorrow morning for the door to open by itself."

Wu Ling was completely furious. He let go of my hand and rushed over to grab Zeng Zhi's ear. "You're talking nonsense. I don't believe you don't know the password. You're his chief assistant. You two are almost sleeping in the same bed. What could he not tell you? Don't play tricks on me! Hurry up and open the door for me!"

"Baby, I swear to God, I really don't know. Brother Zhou just set the password, and he hasn't had the chance to tell me yet. Even if you beat me to death, I can't open this door now." Zeng Zhi cried out in pain, but insisted that he couldn't open the door.

Wu Ling's punches and kicks didn't work.

She turned around to look for something: "Okay, if the door can't be opened, then break it down! I don't believe that we two sisters must be trapped here today?"

"Baby, this glass has special properties. It's fireproof, theft-proof and bullet-proof. You can't break it..." Zeng Zhi was afraid that she would get hurt, so he didn't care about his own injuries and limped after her to persuade her.

Wu Ling was furious: "Then I'll set it on fire! This security system is so advanced, I don't believe it won't open the door even if it's on fire!"

Zeng Zhi was anxious: "No, baby, don't be impulsive, let's..."

"Sister, stop it." I spoke softly, interrupting their argument.

Wu Ling looked at me in surprise. I looked at her quietly and said in a calm and gentle tone: "I'm not leaving tonight."

On my shoulder, Zhou Hanzhi's head was buried deep in my neck, and my collar was hot and wet.

It's his tears.

Zhou Hanzhi hugged me and cried. This time he didn’t say anything, no anxiety or begging, but I suddenly decided to stay.

I looked at Zeng Zhi again: "Assistant Zeng, it's not a good idea for Mr. Zhou to be like this all the time. I didn't find any medicine on him. You said there was medicine in the living room. Can you find it and give it to him first?"

Zeng Zhi's face flashed with joy, and he nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go find the medicine!"

He was indeed very familiar with Zhou Hanzhi's house, and he quickly found the medicine and brought water.

Perhaps because he heard me say I would not leave, or perhaps Zhou Hanzhi felt that I was not so resistant to him, he took the water and drank the medicine.

But he kept one hand tightly holding mine, still afraid that I would leave.

After drinking the medicine, Zeng Zhi coaxed him: "Brother Zhou, it's time to rest. Let's go upstairs?"

"Xuxu, don't go, come with me." Zhou Hanzhi held my hand tightly, turned to look at me, his face full of worry and expectation.

I nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Xuxu." Wu Ling called me when she heard this. She was worried about Zhou Hanzhi.

I shook my head at her and whispered, "It's okay."

Wu Ling looked at me for a while, her eyes changed from worry to calmness. She silently made way, no longer stopped me, and did not continue to scold Zeng Zhi.

Zhou Hanzhi smiled, and the worry on his face turned into relaxation. His dark eyes were full of joy, like a child who had received candy.

He pulled me up the stairs, and walked towards the second floor step by step. Zeng Zhi wanted to support him, but he pushed her away: "Don't bother me, don't disturb me and Xuxu."

"Assistant Zeng, I'll take him to the bedroom. You don't have to go with me." I was worried that Zhou Hanzhi would be upset again, so I took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, but sister-in-law, you wait a moment..." Zeng Zhi stopped and hesitated to speak, with a complicated look in his eyes.

I gave him a reassuring look: "It's okay, I know what to do."

Zeng Zhi and Wu Ling stood together, watching Zhou Hanzhi and I slowly walk up to the second floor and into Zhou Hanzhi's bedroom at the easternmost end.

I have been to Zhou Hanzhi's villa halfway up the mountain three times in total. The first time was to make him radish soup to relieve his cough, and the second time was a courtesy visit with Wu Ling. The first two times I only walked around the kitchen and the first floor, and this time was the first time I came to the second floor.

It was also the first time I entered Zhou Hanzhi's bedroom.

The moment the door opened, I was stunned by everything in front of me. At this moment, I also understood what Zeng Zhi's look just now meant.

His hillside villa is one of the top luxury homes in Beijing and Hong Kong. Although the decoration style is simple, it is grand and beautiful, and all the equipment is top-notch.

But the decoration of his bedroom made me dazed for a moment.

I seemed to be back in college, back to that small apartment, and back to the days when Zhou Hanzhi and I lived together.

His bedroom is a perfect replica of that small apartment.

The simplest double bed, a narrow wardrobe, a small desk squeezed next to the bed, and even the shelves on the desk are exactly the same as before.

And on the desk, there is something that makes me feel particularly familiar.

A small pot of bougainvillea.
