The author has something to say: Some babies ask questions about the ending.

Xu Zhiyuan felt as if a Nezha had gotten into his stomach, and he was disturbed by it.

Immediately after opening his eyes, fever, stuffy nose, and headache scrambled to bite his brain.Xu Zhiyuan felt that he was about to die.

The desire to survive made him reach for the bedside table, and his fingers touched a cup of hot water. He managed to stand up, but his brain felt a sharp pain from the hot fingertips.

He clutched his forehead, remembering how he leaned on his little uncle's shoulder and murmured softly. He was stunned for a while, and then he lay down slowly again.

With his desire to survive gone, Xu Zhiyuan felt that it would be better for him to die.

It just happened that someone opened the door and came in, and you could feel the anger of the comer when you heard the movement.Looking at the door, Xu Zhenping's face was gloomy.

Seeing that Xu Zhiyuan woke up, so that he would not have to lift the quilt by hand, Xu Zhenping said with his hands behind his back, "Are you awake?"

Convinced in his heart, Xu Zhiyuan sat up and said timidly, "Wake up."

Xu Zhenping shouted: "Get out of here and kneel in the living room!"

Xu Zhiyuan got out of bed and got dressed, holding his stomach that kicked from time to time, went to the living room, and saw that Mrs. Xu had thoughtfully prepared the mat, and Yu Yao was also there.Xu Zhiyuan kept his gaze away from Yu Yao as much as possible, and knelt down towards the bookcase with ease.

The prank made Mr. Yue angry, and he almost got a hangover when he went out.If Xu Zhiyuan didn't get beaten, it could only mean that Xu Zhenping couldn't lift the stick anymore.

Xu Zhenping threw the crooked homework in front of him, and said, "How dare you disrespect the master after learning this deadly? Xu Zhiyuan, what do you want?"

Suffering from the cold and stomachache from being drunk, Xu Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable, but he lowered his head and didn't cry out. He only said in a hoarse voice, "I want to study hard."

"Do you have the face to say that?" Xu Zhenping pointed at the group of papers with a ruler angrily, "Tell me what you have learned?"

Xu Zhiyuan lowered his head and said nothing, Master Xu thought he was guilty, and just wanted to bring out another matter to reprimand him.I saw Xu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand towards him.

"But I'm born stupid, I can't learn well." Xu Zhiyuan said, "Go ahead."

Xu Zhenping was obviously taken aback, and so was Mrs. Xu.

Originally, Xu Zhenping was asked by his wife not to really do anything, and he used the ruler as a pretense, and his anger was restrained by the ruler.But Xu Zhiyuan's disrespectful appearance directly ignited the anger he was holding back.

Xu Zhenping picked up his collar, and said coldly, "You fucking wings are so stiff that you dare to talk back to your father."

"If you want to hit me, I will let you hit me. This is also considered talking back..."

With a clear sound, Xu Zhiyuan was slapped.Mrs. Xu took a deep breath, hurried to hold her husband, frowned and said, "Xu Zhenping!"

She could feel Xu Zhenping's arms trembling slightly.

Xu Zhiyuan was slapped so hard that his head was buzzing, as if he heard Yu Yao calling his name, when he looked up, he saw Yu Yao standing beside him, and he didn't know if it was intentional, just blocking the way between him and his father between.

"Zhiyuan," Yu Yao saw that there were wrinkles between his brows, he looked into Xu Zhiyuan's eyes, and said, "disrespecting Yue Lao, and getting drunk and delaying class time... You did these two things wrong , Zhenping trained you to listen carefully, and you can't talk back to your elders."

Xu Zhenping withdrew his hands, flicked his sleeves, and snorted.

Although Xu Zhenping has a violent temper, he is not arrogant and unreasonable. His beating son was always because of Xu Zhiyuan's learning problems. His anger can't be said to come from his hope that his son will become a dragon—because Xu Zhiyuan's performance has never given him high hopes. It can only be said that it comes from the disappointment of hating iron but not steel.

"I..." The sick Xu Zhiyuan was dizzy, he lost the usual fear of his father, and at the same time, he lost his emotional disguise. The grievance on his face was almost completely hidden.He gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while, but still listened to Yu Yao's words, and said in a hoarse voice: "Is that right..." Submerged in the phlegm softly, he coughed hard, turned his head to Xu Zhenping, and murmured: "I'm sorry .”

Xu Zhenping glanced at him sideways, but didn't speak.And he bit his lips tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, at this moment he seemed to be crushed by the wind and cold, he really wanted to shout, but felt that they would just treat his shout as a helpless fallen leaf, stepping on the ground Walked on as if nothing had happened.

But Yu Yao suddenly said: "Zhenping..."

"Maybe I shouldn't care so much... But I have taught Zhiyuan at least for a while, and I hope you know some things." He turned to look at Xu Zhenping, and said, "Zhiyuan cares about your opinion very much, he cares more about you than anyone else. I admire you."

Xu Zhenping frowned and looked at him: "What?"

Xu Zhiyuan's cynical emotions stopped suddenly, like a gambler who was suddenly kicked out, with red eyes and only his mouth open.

"So... when you make some decisions about him, you can think about discussing with him." Yu Yao's voice was gentle, and every sentence he said would have a soft and tough pleading meaning, just like listening to him. The reporter carefully stares into the eyes of the confidant, which can make people feel a kind of comfortable respect subconsciously.

Xu Zhiyuan's heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating, but at the same time he felt ashamed.Reaching out and grabbing his cuff, she whispered, wanting him to stop talking.

"The abandonment of his personal education due to business was originally proposed by me. It is my responsibility, not your problem, Zhenping. So if you try to communicate, Zhiyuan will not make trouble unreasonably." Yu Yao said , "What he wants to learn and what kind of teacher he wants to choose, he will have his own ideas in his heart... Even if they are different from each other sometimes, he wants to be valued by you."

"You...don't say it!" Xu Zhiyuan's grip on his sleeve became stronger and stronger, Yu Yao glanced at his red ears, after a moment of silence, he said, "He's actually very good."

The word "obedient" can be associated with anyone, except Xu Zhiyuan, Mrs. Xu said that he was born crying loudly and offended God, so he grew up with spikes all over his body, and became a thorn when he grew up .

Seeing that her husband didn't say a word, Mrs. Xu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, teasing Xu Zhenping and also jokingly, saying, "...No wonder Xu Zhiyuan is closer to his Uncle Yu."

Xu Zhenping: "..."

Xu Zhiyuan was even more ashamed when he heard this, and even wanted to bury his face in the bookshelf.Only Xu Zhenping snorted, turned around and went upstairs, and said in a low voice: "What should I discuss with him? There is no reason for me to bow my head to my son."

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Zhenping's back and sighed, and said, "Get up, Xu Zhiyuan, don't let Ah Yao plead for your kindness. I must go to Yue Lao to apologize sincerely later. Please don't ask him to come back and continue teaching you... . . . it depends on your will."

Xu Zhiyuan remained silent for a long time.

Mrs. Xu called again: "Xu Zhiyuan?"

Yu Yao's sleeves were pulled out of shape by Xu Zhiyuan. Seeing that he was silent, he reminded him: "Zhiyuan?"

"Little uncle..." Xu Zhiyuan finally couldn't help it, and said weakly, "My stomach hurts."

……

"Acute gastroenteritis, young master, try not to drink too much in the future," Pei Zhen took down the pen clipped to the chest of his clothes, wrote something, and said, "Your uncles and nephews have the same problem, they don't take their stomachs seriously. "

There was also a little girl sitting quietly on a high stool in the room, staring at Xu Zhiyuan with big eyes.

Xu Zhiyuan took some medicine and was infusing fluids, the pain was mostly relieved, but being in the same room with Pei Zhen, he felt even more wronged in his heart than in his stomach.

"What are you doing looking at me like this," Pei Zhen said, "Can I still poison you?"

The pen seemed to be out of ink, so Pei Zhen softly asked the little girl to bring the ink bottle on the window sill, and the girl obediently did so.

"It's really not sure." Xu Zhiyuan said.

Pei Zhen shook his head with a smile, Xu Zhiyuan is his patient today, so he doesn't care too much about the verbal disputes.

After being bored for a while, Xu Zhiyuan looked at Pei Zhen and asked, "Why don't you leave yet?"

Pei Zhen crossed his legs and crossed his arms in front of his chest: "I was supposed to rest today, but now I am entrusted by A Yao to look after you."

Yu Yao settled Xu Zhiyuan and went to school. He arrived half an hour later than usual.

As soon as Xu Zhiyuan remembered what Yu Yao said in the morning, his ears turned red with shame, and he twisted a pleat of the quilt thinking wildly.

Pei Zhen noticed his little movements "meticulously", and asked, "Master, is it not well?"

"No," Xu Zhiyuan quickly returned to normal, and met the eyes of the little girl who had been staring at him."Who is this kid?" he asked.

"My daughter." Pei Zhen said.

Xu Zhiyuan remembered what Fu Shubai said, and paid attention to Pei Zhen's finger, and he found a plain silver ring.

Pei Zhen smiled: "I was going to go out with her today, but 'healing the sick and saving lives' is important, so I delayed for a while and asked her to wait for me."

The girl was touched on the top of her head by her father, and she gave an obedient "hmm".

Xu Zhiyuan felt like the culprit, tucked in the quilt, and asked, "Where's her mother?"

"died."

Xu Zhiyuan choked, feeling regretful in his heart, and carefully glanced at the girl, but saw that her expression was normal.

"Don't worry, she knows." Pei Zhen said.

The quack doctor was still so young, his wife's death must have been due to an accident, Xu Zhiyuan thought to himself.He wanted to ask, but felt that exposing someone's scars was not good, so he shut up full of curiosity.

But Pei Zhen didn't seem to shy away from it, and saw through Xu Zhiyuan's curiosity, and said, "...Because of cancer."

"But..." Xu Zhiyuan looked at him and couldn't help but said, "But aren't you a doctor..."

Pei Zhen smiled lightly, his voice was ethereal as if he was telling someone else's story: "I didn't have time."

These four words seem to grow a sense of powerlessness, which has precipitated the ending of many stories. There is no need for a reason, but just saying it will let the listener know it.

Xu Zhiyuan rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Pei Zhen said.

"But...you are very young," Xu Zhiyuan inexplicably expressed concern, looked at the little girl, and said, "...she is still very young."

"Yes, the family needs a mistress, so I often go on blind dates," Pei Zhen laughed, "otherwise, the young master thought, where did the roses that made you jealous that day come from?"

Xu Zhiyuan's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about, why are you jealous?"

"But unfortunately," Pei Zhen continued, "I didn't find a new partner."

"You have money and status, and your looks... are not bad." Xu Zhiyuan said generously and biasedly, "Although, ahem... it's not like you can't find a woman." Xu Zhiyuan wanted to say, "Although you have holding a child", but thinking of the little girl looking at him with clear eyes, she held back her words.

Pei Zhen shook his head and remained silent.

Although Xu Zhiyuan has never been in a relationship, he still knows a thing or two in his heart.If the purpose of the visitor was really for his money and status, he would not dare to entrust half of his daughter's monk's life to this partner.If he can really meet an independent and self-respecting lady, he will not be able to give equal emotional sacrifice.

Such a woman should deserve a better and more dedicated partner, not Pei Zhen who can't let go of his dead wife and old love.

There is one rose, facing thousands of unknown people, and there are thousands of roses, facing only one destined person.The former wins in freedom and loses in confusion.The latter is better than being down-to-earth, but if the destined person does not fit with him, he will lose his whole life in the cage.

Xu Zhiyuan thought, this seems to be the free love called by the young people, and the arranged marriage of the older generation.

"Maybe..." Pei Zhen twirled the ring and said with a smile, "The road is long, I'm not in a hurry."

Xu Zhiyuan pointed to the ring with his chin, and said, "Whenever you can take it off, you will find it."

"Young Master knows quite a lot," Pei Zhen said, dumbfounded, "old-fashioned", "Young people who have never experienced it always like to talk about relationships on paper."

"Even if I have experienced it, I am better than you," Xu Zhiyuan snorted, "Master never hanged himself on a tree."

Pei Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about it after you're 20 years old."

The little girl's eyes flicked around the two of them, and when she heard that they had finished talking, she opened her mouth to speak. She grabbed the corner of her father's clothes and said, "Ah Yao, won't you come with us for a while?"

"he……"

Xu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "He doesn't have time today, be good."

The little girl nodded, as if afraid that Yu Yao would not come again, she couldn't help but raised her head and said to Pei Zhen: "...Ah Yao is very nice, he bought me candy yesterday."

"Well," Pei Zhen put his hands into his pockets after stroking her head, sighed, and smiled as if deliberately provoking Xu Zhiyuan, "I can't help it, this kid is closer to his Uncle Yu."

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

He seemed to have heard such words not long ago.
