After returning to the steel mill and attending teacher Xu Ni's class for more than an hour, Xu Changping's cheerful voice of the small system rang in his mind.

"Host, I'm back."

"How's it going? Did the person at the door call the police?"

"Host, I've reported it. A lot of police officers have come and taken those people away."

"What did the police say?"

Xu Changping pretended to be busy and asked questions while flipping through the medical records in his hand.

"The police explained to the people around that those people were cultists who were engaged in feudal superstition."

"Cultists, you know what, that's a pretty accurate description. The system you and 101 took away was the leader of the cult."

Xu Changping suppressed his smile and spoke to the small system in a serious tone.

After knowing the general fate of those people, Xu Changping was no longer so curious. He bid farewell to the small system and returned to his studies.

He had a premonition that with Sister Yang Xiaoyue moving into the East Courtyard, he would have less and less time to study at night.

It just so happens that the doctors in the infirmary are still useful, and he can take advantage of their slacking time to study.

When the announcement of the end of get off work sounded in the evening and everyone in the infirmary left, Xu Changping did not see Zhang Xiaolong coming to look for him.

This kid was so depressed this morning, I don’t know what happened.

After waiting for a while, Xu Changping changed his white coat and walked out with the food he had brought to the infirmary at noon.

"Why don't you come to the infirmary to see me? You're growing mushrooms here."

As soon as he walked out of the steel rolling mill, Xu Changping saw Zhang Xiaolong squatting in the corner.

There's no way. This kid is so strong that it's hard not to notice such a big lump.

Zhang Xiaolong heard Xu Changping's voice and quickly stood up and said:

"Brother Xu, you're out."

"Well, let's go. If you have anything to say, tell me when I get home."

Xu Changping looked into his eyes with a serious expression and a cold tone.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Zhang Xiaolong, but he looks like a wandering soul, so it’s definitely not possible for him to drive.

"Ah! Hey! All right, let's go."

When Zhang Xiaolong heard what Xu Changping said, he came to his senses and quickly got on his bike to catch up.

The two of them were silent along the way. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Xiaolong stopped hesitantly.

"What are you looking at? Come in quickly. It's not like you haven't been here before."

Xu Changping glared at him and took the lead in pushing his bicycle into the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaolong stood there in a daze for a moment, then followed in reluctantly.

Since it concerns his cousin, he doesn't know whether he should tell Xu Changping.

But if he didn't tell Xu Changping, he would feel suffocated. Apart from Xu Changping who kept his mouth shut, he really didn't know who else to talk to.

"Candy brother."

As soon as Xu Changping pushed his bicycle into the east courtyard, Xiao Mi came to greet him, jumping and skipping.

"Hey, Xiao Mi, have you been good at home today?"

Xu Changping parked his bicycle, squatted down and talked to Xiao Mi with a smile.

"Good boy, I'm so good. I even helped my sister clean up."

"Then Brother Candy will reward Xiao Mi with a White Rabbit candy."

As Xu Changping spoke, he turned his left fist upwards, and a White Rabbit milk candy lay in the palm of his hand.

They were having fun together. Yang Xiaoyue came out of Xu Changping's room and said with a smile:

"You're back! Wash your hands and eat."

Xu Changping gave the White Rabbit to Xiao Mi and reached out to touch her head.

Then he stood up, took the bag off the handlebars of the bicycle, handed it to Yang Xiaoyue and said:

"Xiaolong asked me to do something today, so I'll add a dish."

Yang Xiaoyue smiled and nodded to Zhang Xiaolong who had just come in from the Moon Gate, then took the bag and went into the house.

"Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."

Zhang Xiaolong smiled back at Yang Xiaoyue, then looked at Xu Changping somewhat unhappily.

"Brother Xu, when did you get married? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Marry? Marry what?"

Xu Changping was stunned by what Zhang Xiaolong said, and then he understood what Zhang Xiaolong meant and looked at him with a smile.

"You're talking about Xiao Yue! She lives next door to me now, and the kitchen in that house hasn't been renovated yet, so she'll eat at my house first."

"I see! I misunderstood."

Zhang Xiaolong didn't expect this to happen and touched his head awkwardly.

"It's okay, let's go, eat first, and we can talk about other things after we finish eating."

Xu Changping waved his hand indifferently. It didn't matter if there was a misunderstanding. They were just not old enough now. If they were old enough, they should have been married.

Following Xu Changping into the house, Zhang Xiaolong, who had originally had a dejected look on his face, couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the sumptuous meal on the table.

"Wash your hands and eat quickly."

Yang Xiaoyue brought the last soup to the table and greeted the two of them with a smile.

Zhang Xiaolong just wanted to eat at the moment, so after hearing what Yang Xiaoyue said, he hurried to wash his hands.

At the dinner table, Zhang Xiaolong took a few bites of the food and started praising it repeatedly.

"Brother Xu, sister-in-law's cooking is really good! It tastes just as good as yours."

"Well, if it tastes good, just eat more."

Xu Changping glanced at Yang Xiaoyue with a smile, hiding his achievements and fame.

But it's not as good as what he made. He made it in advance and Yang Xiaoyue just heated it up.

After dinner, Xu Changping didn't let Yang Xiaoyue do anything, and directly took Zhang Xiaolong to clean up the mess.

"You guys chat, I'll take Xiao Mi back to wash up first."

Yang Xiaoyue didn't care that there was nothing she could do. She smiled and talked to the two of them, then left with Xiao Mi.

It was only a few steps away, so Xu Changping didn't see him off. He closed the door and took Zhang Xiaolong to the study.

After entering the room, Xu Changping poured two cups of tea first, and then asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Brother Xu, I..."

"Hey, Brother Xu, do you remember the last time I asked you to help me check if my sister-in-law was pregnant?"

Xu Changping thought of his pregnant cousin and nodded for him to continue.

Zhang Xiaolong sniffed, his eyes reddened as he said:

"I went to look for my cousin, and I happened to see him coming back from a mission, lying in a hospital bed."

"I wanted to tell him directly about my cousin's wife's pregnancy, but seeing how he looked, I didn't dare to tell him."

"But I have confirmed through indirect investigation that he has not been home for several months."

Zhang Xiaolong's face was heavy. He really didn't know what to do at this moment.

He couldn't understand how such a bad thing could happen to such a good person like his cousin, and now he was in a difficult situation.

"How is your cousin's injury? Is it serious?"

Xu Changping knew what he meant, but he still showed some concern for Zhang Aiguo's injuries first.

"I can't move for now, but I'm not hurt."

It was because he couldn't move for the time being and was afraid that he would rush home that Zhang Xiaolong didn't tell him about his cousin's wife's pregnancy. Otherwise, he would have told him directly at that time.
