entanglement

"Thank you doctor." He Xiu said gratefully.

"You're welcome, remember not to make him too tired, and pay more attention to rest." The doctor said, and after explaining some precautions to them, he went to other wards to check on the patient.

"Xiao Zi, you have to pay more attention to your health. Mom will make soup for you when you go back, so you just stay here obediently. Don't talk about being discharged from the hospital, just treat it as a day off for yourself." He Xiu warned.

"Okay," Zhang Sheng nodded, "Parents, go back first, I can take care of myself here, and, Xiao Nie, you too."

Zhang Jiu thought for a while, and then asked, "Xiaozi, are you really okay now?" He seemed a little worried.

"It's okay. Besides, this is a hospital, so don't be afraid." Zhang Sheng knew that his father must have asked for leave from the company, which made him feel very sorry.

Hearing what Zhang Sheng said, Zhang Jiu's team seemed to be hesitant, but at this moment, he heard Zhang Nie's words——

"Mom and Dad, go back and rest first. I can do it here. Anyway, after the exam in the morning, there is nothing to do now. I will stay here with my brother." Zhang Nie patted his chest and said.

"Xiao Nie is so good. He has really grown up and will take the initiative to help his parents share the burden." He Xiu walked over to put Zhang Nie in his arms, and gently patted his head.

Zhang Nie looked at He Xiu with a grin, "Mom, I've always been very good."

"Well, you are very obedient." He Xiu nodded and said with a smile.

Zhang Jiu looked at the two of them, and he couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Nie has really grown up, well, since Xiao Nie has said so, then we should let him try."

Zhang Sheng felt both comforted and uneasy, "Xiao Nie, just stay with me for an afternoon, and I'm going back in the evening, you know?"

He Xiu nodded, "Well, I'll take Xiao Nie home when that soup arrives."

"Okay." Zhang Jiu nodded, and Zhang Nie also nodded.

"Okay then, Xiao Nie, you stay here with brother, I'll pick you up later," He Xiu took out some change from her satchel and stuffed it to Zhang Nie, "If you want to eat something, you can Go downstairs to buy, but don't be greedy, you know?"

Zhang Nie nodded, "Well, I will pay attention, mom, don't worry."

Although the parents said they could rest assured, they still stayed there for half a day before leaving. After seeing their parents leave, Zhang Sheng sat up from the bed.

"Brother, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." Zhang Nie moved a chair over and sat down while talking.

"No, if you want to eat, you can just buy it." Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

*****

At the elevator entrance, Zhang Jiu and his wife were waiting for the elevator.

"Tell me, will Xiao Zi recall those memories?" He Xiu asked worriedly.

"No, no, he has already suffered so much, God will not let him suffer any more." Zhang Jiuzu shook his head and said, his expression looked very serious.

"Yes, God won't be so unfair." He Xiu nodded and said.

"The elevator is here, let's go in." Zhang Jiuzu pointed to the elevator and said, He Xiu nodded and followed him in.

As soon as the door of the elevator on this side closed, the elevator on the other side came up. After the ding sound, the door of the elevator opened, and Cheng Zhili walked out from inside.

"Knock, knock!" Cheng Zhili knocked on the door of the ward, and soon someone came to open the door, but when he saw the person who came to open the door, he found it was a child.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Nie looked at the person in front of him suspiciously. He was not sure if this person was someone his brother knew.

"Me? I'm looking for Zhang Sheng." Cheng Zhili thought he was in the wrong place, but he felt a familiar feeling when he saw this child. This should be the first time he saw this child.

"Oh, I see, please come in," Zhang Nie nodded with a smile, and then opened the door wider to let Cheng Zhili in, "Brother, someone is looking for you."

"Who is it?" Zhang Sheng asked, but he soon knew that it was Cheng Zhili who came, "Zhi Li, why are you here?" Zhang Sheng was surprised by Cheng Zhili's arrival.

"Sit down first," Cheng Zhili saw that Zhang Sheng was about to get up from the bed, he immediately walked over and held him down, "I came to your school today to look for you, but I couldn't find anyone, and no one answered your phone. Later, I heard from your colleagues that you were in the hospital, so I rushed over to look for you."

"I, I suddenly felt unwell, so I went to the hospital." Zhang Sheng said.

Cheng Zhili shook his head, "Don't make it so easy, your colleagues have told me that you fainted suddenly, what did the doctor say?"

Hearing what Cheng Zhili said, Zhang Sheng felt that it was impossible for him to cover up, and he said, "The doctor said there is nothing serious, and I need to be hospitalized for overnight observation."

Hearing this, Cheng Zhili's face was not so ugly, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the little boy standing behind him, "Are you... Zhang Sheng's younger brother?"

"Yes," Zhang Nie nodded with a smile, "Brother, you look familiar."

Hearing Zhang Nie's words, Zhang Sheng couldn't help laughing, and said to Zhang Nie, "Didn't I see those posters when I went to the library with you?"

Zhang Nie immediately remembered these words, and he showed a look of sudden realization, "So you are Cheng Zhili. At that time, my brother said that I look very similar to you. Today I finally saw the real person!" Zhang Nie Nie clapped his hands excitedly.

"Poster?" Cheng Zhili looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Actually, I saw your company's promotional poster before I knew you, and there was a photo of you in it," Zhang Sheng said with a smile, "It's really unbelievable, you two look so alike."

"Now that the two of us know each other, maybe there is a destiny somewhere." Cheng Zhili said with a smile, he turned his head to look at Zhang Nie, and found that Zhang Nie was also looking at him.

Hearing Cheng Zhili's words, Zhang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded after a while, "Maybe."

Cheng Zhili didn't notice Zhang Sheng's appearance, his attention was on this little boy now, he tapped Zhang Nie's forehead lightly with his index finger, "What's your name?"

"Zhang Nie." Zhang Nie replied.

"Zhang Nie? Which sin?" Cheng Zhili asked suspiciously.

"It's the evil of evil," Zhang Nie smiled, "do you think it's strange?"

Hearing the boy's words, Cheng Zhili frowned slightly, then nodded, "Why is it called that name?"

"My mother said that this is the name I prayed for from the gods and Buddha, and it means the Buddha." Zhang Nie replied, he didn't mind this strange name anymore.

"I didn't expect your family to be superstitious..." Cheng Zhili said with a smile, but there was a trace of complexity in his eyes.

"I don't know what my mother thought at the time." Having said that, Zhang Sheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "However, parents are all for our own good."

Cheng Zhili nodded, "Well, I believe your mother is a good mother." Cheng Zhili said.

Zhang Nie came over and sat beside Zhang Sheng, but his eyes were on Cheng Zhili, "Big brother, how did you know my brother?"

"We met by chance. Speaking of which, being able to meet each other means that we are destined." Cheng Zhili replied.

Zhang Nie sat on the edge of the bed, his dangling feet dangling in the air, "It can be regarded as destined, and we are also destined, right?"

Hearing what Zhang Nie said, Cheng Zhili nodded, then looked down at the ground, "Well, it's a fate."

"Gululu..." Zhang Nie's stomach sang "Empty City Plan" very unceremoniously.

Zhang Sheng looked at Zhang Nie, "Xiao Nie, haven't you had breakfast yet?"

"I ate, it's just...it's just that I walked in a hurry today and ate less." Zhang Nie pouted slightly, and looked down at his feet awkwardly.

"Children can't eat too little," Cheng Zhili said, "It's almost time now, I'll send someone to bring food over."

Although Zhang Sheng was a little hesitant, he thought that his younger brother was still hungry, so he nodded, "Thank you."

"If you treat me as a friend, don't be polite to me," Cheng Zhili waved his hand and said, he looked at Zhang Nie, "What do you want to eat?"

When Zhang Nie saw someone treat him, he showed a happy smile, "I want to eat hamburgers and fried chicken."

As soon as Zhang Sheng heard this, he felt bad. When he wanted to stop Zhang Nie, he saw Cheng Zhili nodded and said yes, and then saw him asking what he wanted to eat, so he could only say casually.

Soon, Cheng Zhili asked someone to pack the food and bring it over.Seeing that it was his favorite food, Zhang Nie ate it unceremoniously. Zhang Sheng had no appetite at first, but he couldn't help but eat some when he saw how delicious his brother's food was.

"It's delicious, thank you big brother." Zhang Nie ate with satisfaction.

Cheng Zhili smiled, and he also took a piece of fried chicken and ate a few bites, "In the future, if you want to eat anything, you can tell me, and I will buy it for you."

"Really? Thank you, you are so kind!" Zhang Nie said with a smile, he seemed to remember something, and then said: "You are as good as Brother Beauty."

"Beauty brother?" After Cheng Zhili heard this word, he frowned slightly, "Is he also someone your brother knows?" After Cheng Zhili finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng also noticed Cheng Zhili's appearance, he felt as if he was a wife suspected by her husband, which made him feel a little ridiculous, "A friend of mine, the Chen Jiarui I told you about before."

"Yes, he is so beautiful," Zhang Nie nodded and said, "If he is a woman, my brother will definitely marry him! He also said that if my brother is a woman, he will definitely marry my brother. "Zhang Nie recalled.

"...Really? I really want to see him," Cheng Zhili's expression didn't seem very good-looking, "Do you like him too?"

"Well... Actually, I like you very much just like him." Zhang Nie replied.

"Oh?" Hearing this, the corners of Cheng Zhili's mouth rose slightly, "It seems that we are really destined. It's really rare to have such a good impression when we meet for the first time." After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of fried chicken Passed a piece to Zhang Nie, and Zhang Nie also took it and ate it happily.

Zhang Sheng looked at Cheng Zhili's appearance, why did he feel that Cheng Zhili was jealous, but he couldn't say such words, he suddenly thought of the fact that his mother would come over in the afternoon, so he said: "Xiao Nie, eat these You can't tell your parents about the hot food, otherwise, they will definitely be angry."

Zhang Nie nodded, "Then can't you tell them about the big brother?" Zhang Nie looked at Zhang Sheng with wide eyes.

"You can say that." Zhang Sheng replied.

"But... Mom will ask him what he did when he came here." Zhang Nie said with some confusion.

"Well..." Zhang Sheng also felt a little troubled.

"Then don't say that I have been here, otherwise, you will definitely slip up," Cheng Zhili said with a smile, "How can children tell lies, and besides, isn't this something that should not be advocated? It would be better not to say, It's better than lying."

Zhang Sheng felt a little embarrassed by what Cheng Zhili said, "I'm sorry, I just don't want my parents to be bothered."

"It's okay, I just feel uncomfortable seeing you struggling," Cheng Zhili said with a smile, "It seems that you all love your parents, I'll visit them some other day."

"My mother will come over in the afternoon, and you can see her then." Zhang Nie said while eating delicious food.

"That's really great, I can get to know her today," Cheng Zhili said, holding Zhang Sheng's hand with a gentle expression, "Your mother should be a very gentle and kind person."

Zhang Sheng was frightened by Cheng Zhili's behavior, because his younger brother was here, and he couldn't show his refusal, so he could only bite the bullet and nod.

"Yes, my mother is very gentle and kind." Zhang Nie nodded in agreement.

"It can be seen, because you are also very kind." Cheng Zhili said with a smile, and he was still holding Zhang Sheng's hand.

Zhang Nie looked at the two of them, his expression looked very puzzled, "Big brother, why do you always hold my brother's hand? This... looks a bit like a couple." Zhang Nie thought of the TV show before The look of the couple holding hands seen on the Internet.

"Really?" Cheng Zhili thought that children would not notice this, it seems that he underestimated Zhang Nie too much.

"That's not it, we're just friends." Zhang Sheng took advantage of this and pulled out his hand, then glared at Cheng Zhili.

Zhang Nie looked at Zhang Sheng, and then at Cheng Zhili, "Big brother, did you make my brother angry?"

"It should be." Cheng Zhili nodded and said.

"My brother is fine, he will forgive you soon." Zhang Nie said, he saw that the food was almost finished, so he got up and packed it, and then walked out with the garbage, but his door had just opened When he opened it, he saw a beautifully dressed girl standing at the door.

"Are you...are you looking for my brother too?" Zhang Nie looked at the beauty in front of him suspiciously.

"Almost, I'm here to find my fiance." Kang Diyi said with a smile, and then walked in.

"Why did you come here?" Cheng Zhili was surprised when he saw Kang Diyi.

"I'm here to find my fiance, what's wrong?" Kang Diyi looked at Cheng Zhili with an aggrieved expression.

Hearing this, Cheng Zhili frowned, "We are not engaged yet, where did we get the name of our fiancé? Di Yi, you are still young and don't understand anything, don't just listen to your parents, you should have something too." Think about it yourself, besides, I never said I like you, I always treat you as my younger sister, don't you know?"

Kang Diyi shook her head, "That's not the case. Both of us have met our parents. Don't my parents and your parents have the same meaning? My mother said that we almost have the same meaning, as long as we get along more .” Her fingers kept twisting the straps of her backpack.

Cheng Zhili looked at Zhang Sheng, then stood up, "I'm sorry, Zhang Sheng, I may not be able to accompany you today, I have a lot to say to her clearly."

"It's okay, see you another day." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, although Kang Diyi seemed a bit rude to come here so rashly, but he felt a little sympathetic to her. From their conversation, he could guess that Kang Diyi was a good girl who listened to her parents very much, but But he doesn't have his own opinions, like a marionette controlled by the Communist Party.

"Okay, see you some other day," Cheng Zhili walked towards Kang Diyi after he finished speaking, and then took Kang Diyi's hand, "Let's talk somewhere else."

Kang Diyi was led by Cheng Zhili to walk out, and she had no choice but to follow, but before she left, she said to Zhang Sheng: "Sorry to bother you, goodbye..."

"Goodbye." Zhang Sheng waved at her, and after watching the two of them leave, he got out of bed and walked to Zhang Nie, "Give me the trash, I'll go and throw it away."

Zhang Nie shook his head, "No, I can do it myself, brother, do you think the two of them are really a fiancee?"

"I don't know either." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said.

Zhang Nie shrugged, then shook the garbage bag in his hand, "The world of adults is really difficult to understand."

on the way.

Sitting in Cheng Zhili's car, Kang Diyi carefully observed Cheng Zhili, and looked at Cheng Zhili's frowning eyebrows, she became more cautious, "That...are you angry with me?"

"En." Cheng Zhili looked forward, without turning his head to look at Kang Diyi.

"I'm sorry, I... I just haven't seen you for a long time." Kang Diyi pouted slightly, her eyes full of grievances.

"I'm angry because you don't live up to expectations. Why do you have to listen to your parents for everything? You have to listen to your parents even about studying. If you say drop out of school, drop out of school. Don't you have any friends? You don't have any." Do you listen to your friends' opinions? Don't you have your own opinions? Sometimes I really want to open your head and see what's missing in it. " Cheng Zhili said coldly.

"I...I..." Kang Diyi's eyes were red, and when she held her mouth, tears flowed down patter.

Seeing her crying, Cheng Zhili immediately parked the car on the side of the road, then handed her a tissue, "Don't cry."

Kang Diyi took the tissue while crying, "Where are you taking me now?"

"Send you home, maybe you shouldn't drop out of school." Cheng Zhili said.

000000

Kang Diyi looked at Cheng Zhili, "Do you mean you want me to continue studying?" She wiped the tears on her face with a tissue, and her delicate makeup was also gone.

"Don't you read?" Cheng Zhili replied, "I think you like painting too? Why don't you stick to it?"

After being told by Cheng Zhili, Kang Diyi's mood gradually calmed down, "Will you tell my parents for me?"

"Well, yes." Cheng Zhili nodded and said.

"Thank you." Kang Diyi nodded, showing a sweet smile.

in the hospital.

Zhang Sheng and Zhang Nie huddled together on the same hospital bed to take a nap. Halfway through his sleep, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his mother walking in.
