Released

What Lu Xiangyang showed Zhou Xi were a few defective products that had been baked.

Baking conditions for macarons are very harsh, and the failure rate is very high. Judging from the industry's judgment standards, in addition to rough and cracked surfaces, hollow and no iconic skirts will be considered failures.

But the pictures of these little bears sent by Boss Lu are very complete, with a round cute head and a small and exquisite body, the surface is smooth and the color is even, and there is no problem.

When Zhou Xi received the picture, he looked at it for a long time.

-C: Isn't that nice?

Lu Xiangyang replied to him: "Look at the crotch."

--crotch?

Zhou Xi was stunned for a moment, the macaron of this cartoon bear is still detailed to the crotch?

He tapped the screen twice to enlarge the picture.

In the next second, Lu Xiangyang's message pop-up window just happened to be sent, covering the top of the screen: "Don't you think they are full of vitality?"

Later, I made up for it: "I made a mistake, and I am very prosperous."

What chicken?what bo?

Zhou Xi took a closer look and saw that the crotch of this bear - this cartoon biscuit bear, was proud and proud, with a swollen bag in high spirits.

Young Master Zhou almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lively!

With a mask on his face, he couldn't bear to laugh, and the corners of his mouth went up to the sky.

-C: ...

-C: How did this come about?

Zhou Xi laughed while typing. For the first time in his life, he felt that Boss Lu was a man of culture, and his idioms had improved beyond what they used to be.

-Sunflowers move forward one by one: These few forgot to pick out the air bubbles in the batter before they were put into the oven, and they bulged up as they baked, just in this position.

-Sunflower Yilu forward: How about I keep it for you to make up for?

-C: Don't beg for mercy.

He put down his phone and took a deep breath.

In the past, Zhou Xi couldn't enjoy such vicious things at all. At most, he just waited and watched from afar, and that's all.But now, this rare joy seems to be something that can free him, and it is uncontrollably magnified infinitely in his emotions, so that he breaks free from his control.

He was laughing out of breath under the mask.

Xu Qin didn't know.She followed behind, only seeing Zhou Xi's back, neither sad nor happy.

She just feels that her own son is now untouchable, like a tall and straight cactus, condescending and full of thorns.

-Sunflower Yilu moved forward: Brother Xi, you have something to tell me.

Zhou Xi buried his head and said back to him: "I know."

When he looked up, tears fell into the mask.

Xu Qin didn't bother him much anymore.The two took their luggage and rushed to the hospital.Only now did Zhou Xi see that Xu Qin's suitcase had broken a wheel somewhere, and it was difficult to drag it when it got off the ground.

He stopped and waited for Xu Qin for a while.

At this age, Xu Qin still likes to wear high heels, and they are all pointed toe and stiletto styles.There was a light snowfall when they arrived, which was not heavy, but because the temperature was too low, a thin layer of frost quickly formed on the ground, not to mention dragging luggage, and the road was not easy to walk.

"Give it to me." Zhou Xi looked at the layers of steps at the entrance of the hospital, and he reached out his hand lowly to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin was trying to pull her lame box forward, when she heard the sound, she gave Zhou Xi a surprised look.

"Luggage." Zhou Xi repeated, "I'll get it."

"Hey." Xu Qin was a little overjoyed and handed the lever into his hand, "Thank you."

When a woman is happy, she raises her brows, and there is a bright look in her eyes.

He had to admit that his appearance had something to do with Xu Qin.

Xu Qin is tall and tall, with soft black curly hair, and her clothes are mostly slim-fitting, making her look coquettish and enchanting.On the plane, when she was picking up her luggage in the cabin by herself, several men could surround her to help her.

The most beautiful thing is her eyes, which are pitch black, and look like they are full of water wherever you look.

Zhou Xi sighed.

He could probably guess that half of his appearance came from Xu Qin, but he couldn't imagine Zhou Yuan's appearance, and he didn't dare to think about it.

After being ill for a long time, most of them lose their appearance, and they may not be able to fully recognize their original appearance.

"Your father is on the fifth floor." Xu Qin also took a mask from her pocket and put it on, "Department of hematology, laminar flow ward A-3. Hey... we are fine, he has to cover his mask even when he sleeps on."

That's right, Zhou Yuan's disease has caused his immune system to be extremely weak, and the protection procedures will be very strict, otherwise a lung infection could kill him.

Zhou Xi originally had a slight fear, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt a little more at ease.

He even thought it was a little funny-when did he even need a mask to give him a sense of security.

This thin layer of mask is more like a mask.Zhou Xi thought, it would be best to cover his face, only show his two eyes, and spend the past few days with his head covered.

But he can't.

When Zhou Xi raised his hand to knock on the door, he realized that his arms were shaking.

For so many years, his so-called home, the reunion that Xu Qin talked about, will finally be completed at this moment.

——He saw Zhou Yuan lying on the hospital bed with a bald head.

I don't know if it's because the bald head is too eye-catching.

There were actually four beds in the ward. When he opened the door, the patient and the family members of the other two beds all turned around in unison.But Zhou Xi could recognize at first sight that the man with a straight nose under the mask was Zhou Yuan.

The voice of conversation in the ward suddenly stopped, and everyone turned to look at him.

"You're here." Zhou Yuan also looked at him. He didn't say hello to Xu Qin who was behind him, but his eyes fixed on Zhou Xi persistently, as if stuck, and he kept seeing Zhou Xi wrinkle uncomfortably. eyebrow.

"Okay." The bald man seemed to be smiling, Zhou Xi saw the lines protruding from the corners of his eyes, and his face should be haggard under the mask, "It looks more promising than me."

There were two foreigners in the ward, and after finding out the language barrier, they turned back and continued chatting.There was another Chinese patient on the opposite bed who looked curiously.

"Who is this, Lao Zhou?" The man's accent was as heavy as the knitted hat on his head, "It looks good."

Zhou Xi always felt that something was wrong, he was obviously a Chinese, and the hair under the knitted hat was actually blond.

"My son." Zhou Yuan said politely, "He has been studying in China. Zhou Xi, this is your Uncle Cao."

Zhou Xi was a little shocked.This chatting posture is as if their family has lived for 100 years.

He didn't speak, but lifted up the mask and nodded politely.

"The two of us usually have dinner together, and we don't let relatives visit to play cards together." Zhou Yuan introduced him, "You are a good man, Uncle Cao."

Zhou Xi hurriedly nodded again.

"What's so good about being a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Uncle Cao laughed. When he raised his head, the hat slipped up and nearly fell off along with his blond hair.

The uncle held it up in embarrassment, he picked it up, shook it and put it back on again, coughing twice.

Only then did Zhou Xi discover his hat... for a while, he didn't know whether to call it a wig with a hat or a hat with a wig.

In short, this Uncle Cao is not much better, but he is better than Zhou Yuan. He is not completely bald, but still has a little Mediterranean hair.

"Your son is handsome, much handsomer than you! He is so tall." Uncle Cao looked at Zhou Xi embarrassedly, and Xu Qin behind him pretended nothing happened, and continued, "Or Good luck to you old Zhou, if you can't find a match, you can still have a son to support you..."

The light tubes in the ward were too bright, and it was a bit blindingly white.Zhou Xi felt tightness in his chest, and felt a strong sense of suffocation for no reason.

He wanted to take off his mask and take a big breath.

From the moment he stood in this ward, it was as if he had stepped into a quagmire, no matter what posture he used, he was inevitably sinking.

The mud was rotten and floating, and he couldn't get to the bottom.

Zhou Xi turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Xu Qin didn't dare to stop him, she followed two steps behind.

"Ask if I can have a physical examination tomorrow." Zhou Xi opened the door and walked out.

"...This child, he is only worried about his father."

When he closed the door, he heard Xu Qin smoothing things over with Lao Cao.

"Your son doesn't like to talk." Uncle Cao's voice was penetrating. "This is not like your old Zhou Ding at all, hahahaha."

Zhou Xi took two quick steps forward, as if trying to break free, he got up step by step.

Want to go faster, and faster, and faster.

How great it would be if the flow of life could be fast forwarded, how great it would be if people didn't have to suffer.

In the end it was all about running.

He ran down the stairs in one breath and rushed out of the hospital gate.

There is no place on his body that can be lifted, only standing outside can make him feel clear-headed.

There was no snow at the moment, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.Zhou Xi pulled off his mask, and took a few mouthfuls of air-conditioning fiercely into his lungs.

It's minus nine degrees in Detroit tonight.

——He thought of Lu Xiangyang's cozy and warm small workshop, where every minute and every second was precious.

Zhou Xi paused for a while, then remembered and turned on his phone to take a look.

Gu An only replied "Got it", it was sent after he reported his safety, so he was probably still angry because he said so little.

On the contrary, Lu Xiangyang sent him several messages, some said that he was going to go to the hospital, and brought food for Aunt Xu, and some said that he was busy if he didn't answer the cake list today, and later he sent a white card to blackmail him Photo of cat food.

Dabai is about to be raised by Boss Lu.

Zhou Xi stood in the snow and replied to him.

-C: Miss you.
