The next day, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Mengyan had just returned to the dormitory to pick up their luggage after the exam, when Zhou Mengzhu's car was parked downstairs in Zhou Zhe's dormitory.

In fact, their school didn’t officially close until Friday, and Zhou Yuan and Zhou Mengyan might have dinner at night. They shouldn’t be in such a hurry to go home, but their mother, Cen Yulan, called and said that after reading the weather forecast, the temperature would drop sharply tomorrow, which made Zhou Zhe Going home quickly, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Mengyan naturally chose to go home with Zhou Zhe.

This is a pain for Luo Xuan. Originally, he said that he would go to play with Zhou Mengyan for two days after the exam. Unexpectedly, his girlfriend failed to understand his small thoughts of wanting to live a world of two. Zhou Zhe went home the same day.

"It looks like it's growing a little meat." Zhou Mengzhu also hasn't seen Zhou Zhe for half a year. As soon as Zhou Zhe came down, she stuffed Zhou Zhe into the car, looked it over carefully, and then smiled, "Meng Yan said You haven't been sick for a long time, and I thought she called home to report good news but not bad news, but now it seems that she didn't lie, otherwise she wouldn't grow any meat."

"That's right, I'm in good health." Zhou Zhe said smugly.

The siblings waited in the car for a while, and Zhou Yuan and Zhou Mengyan appeared with simple luggage. When Zhou Mengyan got into the car, he shouted coldly: "I don't know what's wrong with them. Exam with the window open, hiss, my hands are numb from the cold.”

"Don't be the one who returns home sick." Zhou Mengzhu started the car and joked, "It seems that you will be the first to change into the winter clothes I prepared."

"It was an accident, an accident." Zhou Mengyan managed to slow down in the car, and asked what he had been thinking about all along, "Sister, the previous post on your circle of friends was about signing Zhuang Shimeng Bar?"

"Yeah." Zhou Mengzhu replied casually, "You know her too?"

"I have always been on the special attention list." Zhou Mengyan said, "I am so worried about her, sister, you have signed her for so long, why is there no news on the Internet?"

"Because it's not the time yet." She didn't seem to want to talk too much. It stands to reason that Zhuang Shimeng, who she signed in person, should have attached great importance to her. Such a cold attitude made Zhou Mengyan feel strange. I wanted to ask something, but Zhou Mengzhu said softly, "When everything is ready, I guarantee that she will come back, but before that, she needs to suffer a lot."

She seemed to be sighing a little at the end of her speech. Zhou Mengyan knew that she had been reluctant to talk about things related to the Internet literary circle for so many years, but since she signed Zhuang Shimeng, it meant that she didn't care. After thinking about it, She then vomited to her sister the fact that she unfortunately fell into the pit of a bad author recently as bitter water.

"Even if I have never seen such a weird-tempered author before, I will not update if I say no, and I am not afraid that no one will buy the new article, but she has changed a lot. She used to refuse to reply a word, but now she often comments I can assure you that these two articles are original, especially the second one. I am afraid that 90.00% of the writers in Jinjiang are too lazy to do it.”

"It's a pity, such a good author won't be able to stay in Jinjiang for long." Zhou Mengzhu sighed.

"I don't think so." Zhou Mengyan said, "Even if she doesn't stay for too long, she will muddy the muddy waters of Jinjiang before leaving. I am optimistic about her, although I hate her for abandoning the last article." itch."

Zhou Zhe, who was sitting in the co-pilot, shuddered when he saw his sister's appearance through the rearview mirror.

I hope his sister will never know that he is the author of "First Makeup".

When they got home, the four siblings received a warm welcome, especially Zhou Zhe, who was caught by her mother and looked at him carefully, making sure that not only did he not show signs of recovering from a serious illness, but his thin cheeks had grown some flesh. Only then did he let go, and he kept mumbling, and it turned out that after passing the big hurdle, people are different.

The sisters of the Zhou family didn't take what she believed in seriously, but Zhou Zhe had a rebirth experience, so he especially echoed his mother's words.

"Hurry up and put your things away to rest. Tonight, your grandma will cook in person. You will be lucky." Cen Yulan smiled, and then said to Zhou Yuan, "I boiled leaf water for you, and your two brothers supervise each other. You can’t come out until you’ve soaked it for half an hour.”

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Zhe wrinkled his face.

Although Zhou's mother doesn't believe in the old man's experience as much as others, it doesn't make it useless. Madam Zhou doesn't know where she heard that people who are not in good health use the water boiled from the leaves of certain trees to scald their bodies from time to time to get rid of the toxins in their bodies. Humidity or heat, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to ask the doctor, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they told them that it does have certain benefits, but they cannot be washed frequently, and different leaves have to be used in different seasons, which is very troublesome. It's only when the family members have been ill for a long time that they will toss around like this. However, Zhou's mother and Mrs. Zhou took the trouble to make a regular "bathing" plan for the brothers.

After Zhou Yuan recovered, he didn't have to suffer such torture. It was just that Zhou's mother wanted to raise the two children as one person, so Zhou Yuan still had to "bath" with Zhou Zhe. Later, he protected his younger brother by himself. I don't want my younger brother to feel that I am different from him, so this habit has continued to this day.

Zhou Zhe and Zhou Yuan had been away from home for a few months, and Zhou's mother counted the time for them to go home with her mother-in-law to get leaves and boil water for the two brothers.

Although this leaf water is a good thing, but the feeling of being scalded by hot water is really uncomfortable. Cen Yulan said that the brothers supervise each other, mainly to prevent Zhou Zhe from getting up halfway through the soak. You must know that he is 19 years old, and Zhou's mother can no longer Help him take a bath.

Zhou Yuan pulled Zhou Zhe upstairs, and Zhou Zhe was still complaining to Zhou Yuan along the way: "Why can you bear the water from the leaves, bro, tell me the truth, did you secretly add tap water to the bathtub?"

"Mom turned off the water on the second floor." Zhou Yuan said honestly, wanting to convince his younger brother that he was really treated the same as him.

"Is it true that healthy people are different?"

"You fell ill once this semester, which is a good sign, and you will get better in the future." Zhou Yuan comforted his younger brother.

"But the leaf water is really hot."

"If you're disobedient, I'll hold you in and sit by the bathtub and watch you." The two brothers haven't bathed together since they were ten years old. At that time, Zhou Yuan did do the thing of pressing his younger brother in the bathtub, and then sitting next to the bathtub by himself, even if he was scratched by the original body until his hands peeled off. The memory of the past made the body tremble involuntarily.

"……"you win.

Back in the room, the bathtub in the bathroom was indeed filled with boiled dark brown Konoha water. Zhou Zhe had never touched it before. He thought it would be scary, but he realized it was actually when he looked at the bathtub full of water. The smell of this leaf water is very good, and there is an indescribable smell of trees that have just been stripped of their bark.

"I'll wait for you outside, go." Zhou Yuan pushed Zhou Zhe in and closed the bathroom door, then went to open the closet to find clothes for him, within 2 minutes there was a wailing sound.

Zhou's mother knocked on the door and came in at this time. Originally, she wanted to see if Zhou Zhe was being lazy. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Zhou Zhe's voice, which was both distressing and funny: "The voice is very loud only when washing the leaves. There is such an exaggeration, you came back late, the water is not as hot as before."

Zhou Zhe inside seemed to hear her voice, and the wailing became quieter, and soon turned into a hum.

"Look, this is shouting to you, hoping that you will help him fool me."

Zhou Zhe shouted inside: "Ms. Cen, your son's skin is going to be burned off, can't you shout twice?"

"How can you be so precious, you just hope that your brother will be soft-hearted." Zhou Zhe actually has no congenital diseases. His biggest weakness is actually low immunity and poor resistance. When you're not sick, you're just like normal people, and it doesn't even matter if you go for a short jog, "Your brother-in-law will come over later, if you howl so loudly, your brother-in-law will laugh at you."

Zhou Zhe took a good face and quickly lowered his volume.

Only then was Zhou's mother satisfied: "I'll fill you with water after your brother is done washing." She told Zhou Yuan not to listen to Zhou Zhe's words, and then went upstairs to see Zhou Mengyan.

When Zhou Zhe heard the sound of her closing the door, he immediately became restless: "Brother, open the door for me, I feel stuffy if I don't turn on the exhaust fan." Zhou Yuan did so.

After a while, he asked again: "What clothes did you find for me?"

Zhou Yuan answered truthfully.

"I'm not wearing that one, I'm going to wear..."

Zhou Yuan went to find another clothes for him.

"How long have I been in? Why do I feel like I'm going to pass out?"

"Seven minutes." Zhou Yuan said.

"I think life feels like years. You must have said 7 minutes to avoid bath time. In fact, I have been soaking for 17 minutes, right?"

"Do you think the water temperature has dropped?"

"..."

Zhou Zhe struggled through the first 10 minutes while looking for trouble, and finally subsided when the water temperature dropped to his usual bathing temperature. By the time Zhou Yuan came in to bring him clothes and test the water temperature for him to wake up, he was already full of blood. The skin is wrinkled.

But let alone, even though the 20-odd minutes were tough, he did feel a lot lighter after washing out, but after soaking in hot water, he felt sleepy. Zhou Yuan advised him to go to sleep, but he refused: "Who Knowing that I’m going to sleep, are you being perfunctory then, I have to watch you.” He said and went to Zhou Yuan’s room next door, it wasn’t long before Zhou’s mother asked someone to put the leaf water in, so there was a lot of water inside. A burst of heat.

"Hurry up and cook while it's hot." Zhou Zhizhi pushed the person in after Zhou Yuan's previous actions, "I'll find clothes for you."

After he closed the door tightly, he guarded the door for a while, but he still didn't hear Zhou Yuan's voice inside. He quietly opened a crack in the door again, and saw that Zhou Yuan had already entered the bathtub, his skin was a little red from the heat, but the old god was there He closed his eyes, looking quite happy.

It seems to know that Zhou Zhe is still by the door, only to hear Zhou Yuan say: "Go to the closet and find it for me..."

Zhou Zhe could only leave in front of Shi's door resentfully.

It wasn't until Zhou Zhe left that Zhou Yuan curled up in the bathtub.

Poor Zhou Zhe, he never knew that the leaf water that Zhou's mother prepared for his brother was slightly colder than the one prepared for him. Even as a brother who grew up, Zhou Yuan has his own secrets.
