Secretly, Secretly; But Unable to Hide It

Out of the ward.

Duan Jiaxu looked over her side. He changed back his clothes today, a military green short coat, a white sweater and a slim black trousers.

The beard is shaved and looks a lot younger, like a college student.

He leaned down slightly, looking up at Sang Zhi. He seemed to think it was fresh to hear such words from her mouth. He bent his lips and teased, "Get married as soon as possible?"

Sangzhi stared at him, without blinking, "Isn't this the head you brought first?"

Noting that she was in a bad mood, Duan Xu raised her eyebrows and stood up straight: "Angry?"

Silence for a few seconds.

"Not angry. Just brother," Sang Chi stopped, saying seriously, "you don't have to make such a joke in the future."

Even if I knew it was a joke.

But because she was so clear about it, he wouldn't really like her.

So she didn't find it funny.

He can frankly take this as a joke, and when he said those words, his look was not half unnatural. It was as if in such a way, unknowingly, taking care of her little, her careful hiding, as a joke.

Sang Zhi lowered her eyes and wanted to say something, but still didn't say it. Suddenly discouraged, she went on: "Let's go, I have something to do in a moment."

Duan Jiaxu calmed down his smile, slowed down and followed her: "Really angry?"

"No."

"I didn't stay in the hospital for too long, so I was a little bit worried." Duan Jiaxu rubbed his neck with his palm, and said, "I apologize to you?"

"No," whispered Sang Zhi, "don't do that in the future."

Seeing her so minded, Duan Xiaoxu's heart frowned, and her mood was a bit unspeakable. After a long while, he seemed to feel angry and funny, and suddenly came up with the phrase: "Isn't my brother so bad?"

"..."

"Can Xiao Sangzhi be so unhappy?"

Hearing this, Sangzhi turned to look at him, without expression on his face. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and Peach's eyes were deep and charming, with a half-joking tone.

Seeing this, she also inexplicably wanted to give him a little traffic.

Sang Zhi seriously said, "Just can."

"..."

"Brother, I don't mean anything else, I'll tell the truth." Sangzi swallowed, "I went back and cried all night after listening."

"..."

Duan praised the illness, and the company granted him a half-month vacation. After leaving the hospital, he can rest at home for a week and recuperate.

Out of the hospital, the two stopped a taxi to Duan Jiaxu's house.

Duan Jiaxu only has a pair of slippers at home.

He glanced at him, barefooted, put the slippers in front of Sangzhi and gave her something to wear.

Sang Zhi did not hesitate to put on. She asked Duan Xia to sit on the sofa for a while, then threw all the clothes he brought back into the washing machine, and put the other things back to the original place for him.

Slippers seemed big on her feet, and she walked slowly.

Later, Sang Zhi sat next to Duan Xuxuan and took out a stack of post-it notes from her bag.

Duan Jiaxu was on the sofa, lazily playing games.

Sang Zhi turned on her mobile phone and searched the website for the precautions, plus the doctor's instructions. She looked at it, then lay on the coffee table, copying it sentence by sentence.

Noting her movements, Duan Jiaxu came over and asked, "What should I write?"

"Just the precautions after leaving the hospital," Sang Zhi explained, "I'll put you on the refrigerator after writing, and you need to pay attention when you eat."

Growing up like this, Sangzhi didn't take care of people. So she's not very good at it, and she can't remember many things.

Duan Jiaxu's movement stopped, and he murmured softly.

"By the way, don't always sit and walk around a bit more," Sang Zhi thought, and said, "then don't take heavy weights, do strenuous exercise or something."

"Row."

"Also, if you have anything you need, you can tell me, I'll take the time to buy it for you." Sang Zhi calmly said, "Then, in normal times, I probably don't come here much."

"..."

"Take care of yourself."

"Ok."

"I have left a lot of homework lately, and it is also the end of the semester. I have to prepare for the exam." Sang Zhi looked up at him.

"You don't need a child, please." Duan Jiaxu chuckled, "Brother invited you to eat."

Sang Zhi blinked: "I'll talk about it then."

She lowered her pen, stood up, and put the post-it note on the refrigerator. Later, Sang Zhi returned to the living room and put on her coat: "That brother, I'll go first."

Duan Jiaxu stood up: "I will take you to a car."

Sang Zhi shook her head: "You should take a break, just returned from the hospital."

"..."

"It's a subway station as soon as I go out. I know the way." Sang Zhi went to the porch to wear shoes and waved with him. "Goodbye, brother."

After speaking, without waiting for him to speak, Sangzhi went out.

With a slam, the door was closed.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Duan Jiaxu still did not respond. He retired directly from the game, took the coat on the side, put it on, opened the door and went out. But there are no signs of childishness.

He pulled the corner of his lip and returned to the room.

Duan Jiaxu went to the refrigerator and glanced at what she wrote.

After so many years, her words are obviously beautiful and sharp. Unlike before, writing is done in a stroke, and a 500-character weekly diary has to be written for more than an hour.

Duan praised his expression a bit sloppy, and stretched out his hand to pinch his fingers.

He remembered inexplicably while in the hospital.

The uncle behind the bed next door kept boasting childishly in front of him, confessing to her that he was his wife-in-law.

— "You are so handsome, you still take care of people."

After a long time.

Duan Jiaxu walked back to the living room and smiled inexplicably.

In December, the temperature in Yihe City reached minus few degrees.

Due to the weather and the upcoming exam week, the department's activities have been suspended. Sang Zhi was so cold that he didn't want to move. In addition to class every day, I just draw pictures and make videos in the dormitory.

Duan Jiaxu didn't let her help any more.

I found her occasionally, but just told her that it was cold and let her take better care of herself.

Sang Zhi changed Duan Xuan's WeChat remarks to "Brother No. 2", and he called him like he was a kid, so he just shouted "Brother".

Toughly changed his identity in his mind to Sang Yan.

Sang Zhi suddenly felt that this was good.

Strive to cut off your mind and end this impossible, endless crush. No longer digging into the horns, no longer thinking that in my life, I can only love one person.

Sang Zhi even started looking forward.

One day in the future, she will completely lose this mind.

He brought a woman in front of her and told her that this was his girlfriend. She wouldn't feel uncomfortable anymore, and the only thought she might have was that he was no longer alone.

He even called the woman a **** without a thought.

The last night of 15 years.

The remaining three people in the dormitory went out to celebrate New Year's Eve with others. Sang Zhi had no interest in this ritual and rejected several people's invitations.

I'm going to order a takeaway, take a bath, watch a movie, and sleep.

That night passed.

Before her plan was implemented, Duan Xuan called her.

Mulberry bit the potato chips and picked them up.

Duan Jiaxu's lazy voice came from there, always with a slight smile in his words, with a sloppy tone: "What are you doing?"

Sang Zhi glanced at the time and said casually: "Ready to order a takeaway."

"What takeaway?" Duan Jiaxu laughed. "Come with my brother for a holiday."

Sang Zhi's cheek stopped and quickly said, "I don't want to go out."

Duan Jiaxu said casually: "Then come to eat with my brother."

"..."

"Huh? Why don't you speak." Duan Xuxue spoke slowly. "Don't you want to invite me to dinner? Want to hang on?"

Sangzhi threw the potato chips back into the packaging bag: "I don't rely on the account. You never mentioned it before."

Duan Jiaxu: "Then come out now, I'm outside your school."

Sang Zhi couldn't help saying, "You said you didn't need me."

Duan Jiaxue had a long ending, and it seemed like he couldn't remember: "I said that?"

"..."

This person is strange.

I will definitely look for her at the festival.

It seems that she is here alone, and it would be pitiful if she was alone. On Christmas day, he also looked for her, but when she heard she was with her roommate, he said nothing.

Sang Zhi hung up the phone, got up and quickly changed his clothes. She put on a scarf and looked in front of the mirror. She felt that her face was not good enough. After hesitating, she applied a thin layer of lipstick.

Out of school, Sang Zhi was trying to make a call to Duan Xu.

With his eyes raised, he just saw his car and saw him in the driver's seat.

Sang Zhi walked over, got into the front passenger seat, shouted "brother" obediently, and then fastened his seat belt by himself.

Duan Jiaxu looked at her: "Why not go out and play?"

"Cold," Sangzhi said truthfully, "don't want to go out."

"How come you are so old like this?" Duan Jiaxu laughed and started the car. "What do you want to eat?"

Sang Zhi has nothing special to eat: "You set it."

Duan Jiaxu: "What about hot pot?"

Sangzhi nodded: "Yes."

"I'm here to choose a place?"

"Ok."

Duan Jiaxu drove the car to a commercial circle a few kilometers away, near the neighborhood where he lived. But this location is closer to the city library.

Not far from the University of Iowa.

This hot pot restaurant is a chain store. It has only four or five outlets in Yihe and is very popular. So there are not many people sitting in line on the chairs outside.

Sang Zhi hasn't eaten this house, and at this time, she also became interested in smelling the fragrance.

The two waited for a while before they had a place.

Duan Jiaxue gave her the menu and asked her to order.

Thinking of Duan Xiaoxu's illness, it didn't take long for him to order the soup. Then, according to the taste of normal people, he ordered amaranth and vegetarian dishes. When she saw the fat cow, she tangled for a while, and still ordered it.

Soon, San Zhi returned the menu to him: "Brother, see what else you want to eat."

Duan Jiaxu glanced casually, picked up her pen, and crossed out the fat cow she had decided to order for a long time.

"..."

Sang Zhi glanced at him and bowed his head, playing with his mobile phone.

Duan Jiaxu poured some tea into her glass and asked, "When is the exam?"

"Starting next month on the 11th."

"When will you go home?"

"Let's finish the exam." Sang Zhi recalled, "It should be number 20."

Duan Jiaxu: "Remember to book tickets in advance, the tickets before the new year are not fixed."

Sangzhi nodded: "I know."

They talked one after the other.

Soon, the person next to the table finished eating, and after the waiter finished packing, he brought in two young women. The soup base also happened to come up.

Sang Zhi lowered her phone and raised her eyes.

She noticed that one of the women was familiar, but she could not remember seeing it for a while.

That woman seems to know Duan Xiaoxuan. When she saw him, she stared at her, the smile on her face was lifted instantly, she loosened her friend's elbow, came over, and the tone was particularly arrogant: "Duan praised."

Duan Jiaxu Ben also talked to Sang Zhi.

He heard the sound, and his expression was raised, his eyes raised.

Sang Zhi also looked at it.

Women don't look good, at best they are beautiful, with delicate makeup on their faces. Her expression was extremely gloomy, and her eyebrows looked a bit mean: "If I hadn't seen you here, I would have thought you were dead."

As soon as she got closer, Sangzhi smelled the perfume on her.

Sangzhi was suddenly stimulated by memory.

It seems to be the woman she saw in the elevator the last time she went to Duan Jiaxu's house.

Sang Zhi retracted her gaze and subconsciously glanced at Duan Xu.

He had also retracted his eyes and did not look at the woman. As if she hadn't heard her, took the teapot loosely and poured tea into the cup.

The woman said again, "Did you not see me calling you?"

Sang Zhi pursed her lips and suddenly felt awkward to sit here. She tried to reduce her sense of existence and took out her cell phone to play.

"Have you called me?" Duan Jiaxu picked up the phone next to him and glanced slowly, then smiled softly, "Ah, I pulled it black."

"You hacked me?" The woman exploded instantly. "What qualifications do you have to hack me ?! I **** you! You should be a cow and a horse for me all your life!"

Her volume was high and sharp.

Sang Zhi looked at her again and was a little scared.

The woman's friend held her, and she didn't seem to know the situation. It seemed inexplicable: "Xiao Ying, what's wrong? Who is this?"

The next moment, Sang Zhi saw that the woman broke away from her friend's hand, and suddenly picked up a water glass filled with water on the table, as if it was extremely angry, and poured it vigorously on Duan Xu's face.

He was unprepared and dodged.

Just have time to close your eyes.

Slightly hot water dripped onto him. It slipped from his hair and fell down his forehead, bridge of his nose, and lips, converging on his jaw.

Drop after drop.

Wolverine.

Sang Zhi froze, staring blankly at what he looked like at the moment.

For a moment, my head seemed to be congested, and my blood was flowing upward, all my senses were gone. Sang Zhi squeezed her fist, stood up instantly, and also picked up the water on the table, held it above the woman's head, and drove down.

The woman's attention was all on Duan Xu's body, and she did not respond at all. She screamed and yelled, "Who are you! What nerve do you have?"

Hearing this movement, Duan Jiaxu opened his eyes.

He didn't seem to think that Sang Zhi would make such a move, staring at Sang Zhi's back, his eyes were a little grim.

Like a cub.

Sang Zhi stood in front of him and asked, "What nerve do you have?"

"Do you manage?" To the others, the woman was obviously not as aggressive as in front of Duan Xu, "You know why I splashed him ..."

"I care what you do." Sang Zhi interrupted her, saying one word at a time, "Auntie, who would be interested in making sense to you if you do it? Also, don't talk about splashing water, if you dare hit him, I Will definitely call back— "

"..."

Her tone was very cold: "Absolutely not dirty hands."

The woman became a little embarrassed, her face instantly turned red, and her hands suddenly lifted.

After noticing her move, Duan Xia immediately stood up and pulled Sangzhi behind her. He stared at the woman, with a cool look in his eyes, but still smiling: "That wouldn't work."

"..."

"I feel pretty dirty."

"..."

The manager of the hot pot restaurant came over at this time and persuaded the rack with kindness.

Woman was dragged away by her friend. It seemed to feel embarrassed, and she did not want to continue to stay tough, but her eyes were staring at Duan Xuan.

Like a ghost.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

The sight of the people next to him still looked here from time to time.

The immature momentum faded instantly. She couldn't eat anything at all, settled the bill at the front desk, and then pulled Duan Xuan to leave the hot pot restaurant. Remove the tissue from the bag and hand it to him.

Duan Jiaxu took it, but there was no other movement. His eyes were staring at Sangzhi, his eyes were a little dark, and he could not see his emotions.

He was anxious for his immovability. She simply pulled out a few tissues and wiped the water off her hair with her feet.

The first time Sang Zhi encountered such a thing, his eyes became red, and his tone was dull: "Who is that person?"

"An irrelevant person." Duan Xiaoxu looked back a little, bent down, and thought, "Strictly calculated, is it my dad's former creditor?"

He heard the word "creditor" for the second time from his mouth.

Sang Zhi glanced at him subconsciously and didn't ask: "When I went to your house last time, I seemed to see her too."

After thinking about it, she asked, "Does she see you like this every time?"

Duan Jiaxu was silent for a few seconds: "Almost."

"That's too scary." Sang Zhi pumped a tissue again and wiped the water off his forehead, muttering, "Is there something wrong with her ability to regulate her emotions? I just started with a few words ... "

Duan Jiaxu laughed, seemingly inadvertently: "Maybe I did something that I was really sorry for her?"

Sang Zhi hit him: "Don't you say it was your father's former creditor?"

"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu said in a faint tone. "I don't know if it's a" front "."

"Your dad's creditor," Sangzhi stopped, thought about his thoughts seriously, and then said, "That's the creditor of your dad, regardless of whether he's ahead or not. It doesn't matter to you."

— "It has nothing to do with you."

Duan Jiaxu's heart jumped, his expression finally changed. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her.

Sangzhi looked serious, holding a tissue and rubbing down his forehead. Fortunately, the tea was put on for a while. Although his skin was a little red, he didn't look burned.

She continued to say, "Anyway, I only saw her inexplicably come up and splash you with water. My brother said that he was bullied and couldn't bear it--"

Before the words were over, Sangzhi's eyes moved downward.

Suddenly stopped.

Duan Xiaoxu's gaze has not moved.

Just hit her eyes.

At this moment.

It seems to be back, when she was in the hospital and wiped her face with her help.

That time, I stared at the intimate move. He somehow took the initiative to look away.

It seems like a defeat.

This time, the distance between the two was closer than last time.

Her eyes were extremely beautiful, clean and clear, with a bright sheen.

No offense before him.

It was completely different from the way she had stood in front of the woman just to protect him.

In fact, compared with the past, her changes are not small. The baby's fat on his face faded away, and his facial features also looked exquisite and beautiful. The words "kid" did not touch at all.

He didn't pay much attention and ignored those changes directly.

But it seems, indeed, it is different.

Duan Jiaxu could see the thin fluff on her face, her skin was as white as transparent, and her lips were rosy and full. And her breath, gently, regularly, exhaled on his face.

Some itch.

Gaze at each other for a long while.

It seemed like only a few seconds, and it seemed like a long time passed.

Duan Xu's throat knot rolled slowly.

Sangzhi suddenly looked back, and Nana retracted his hand: "Brother, wipe it yourself."

Duan Jiaxu calmed down, and then answered gently: "Yes."

Afraid that he felt that his reaction was a bit abrupt, Sanji explained hesitantly: "You are too tall, and I have to bend you to bend over."

After that, she handed him the tissues: "Give you tissues."

But I haven't seen him take it for a long time.

Sang Zhi raised his eyes again and met his gaze again.

Duan Jiaxu's eyes were deep and slightly constricted, and there was still a small uncleaned water drop on her eyelashes, staring openly at her as if discharging. He stood up straight, his gaze straight, without any intention of converging.

Looking thoughtful, I don't know what I'm thinking.

It was a little uncomfortable to stare at him, but Sanzhi didn't feel that he had exposed anything. She was a little embarrassed and angry, and her voice rose a little higher: "Why."

"It's nothing." Duan Jiaxu paused for a few seconds, coughed softly, and his eyebrows were a bit springy. "Forget to say, thank Xiao Sangzhi for protecting my brother."

Sangzhi reluctantly said, "No need."

She glanced around and suggested, "Would you like to buy some clothes nearby?"

Hearing no response, Sang Zhi turned his head again and collided with his sight again. She frowned, wondering if there was something on her face, and she was foggy: "What do you keep staring at me for?"

"Is that so?" Duan Jiaxu looked back at this, bending his lips and said, "I won't watch then."

Sanji's eyes were strange, and he pointed out, "Where do you go?"

Duan Jiaxu laughed: "OK."

"Why are you laughing all the time?" Sangzhi couldn't help but say, "Are you being stupid by being splashed with water?"

"Well, it seems."

"..."

Maybe he was sick, making his brain less awake; or it was because the uncle next to the bed was brainwashing day and night during that week; or maybe he was washed by this glass of water Fainted in his head.

at this moment.

Duan Jiaxu suddenly wanted to be a beast.
