"Meiping, it's already so late. You should go back quickly and find a doctor for Zimo. Anran is also very tired, so don't come and look for her, " Bai Ruyun advised.
Mother Xin shook her head, her face full of sorrow and despair. "ZIMO's fever is very bad. He has been locking himself in the room and refused to see anyone. He is simply joking with his own life... "
"since you don't want to go, then forget it. " Seeing that Du Anran was not moved at all, mother Xin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "My own son, I'll think of a way myself... "
Mother Xin did not force Du Anran anymore, she turned around and walked out. Du Anran looked at her trembling back and did not speak. Bai Ruyun looked at mother Xin, then looked at du Anran's expression and shook her head.
The wind blew on Du Anran's face. It was very cold. She stood in the same place and did not move for a long time. A piece of yellow Ginkgo leaf fell on her shoulder. It was blown by the wind and danced under the moonlight, quietly landing on the ground.
"Anran, if you want to go, then follow me... " her daughter was raised by herself. Bai Ruyun had long seen through du Anran's thoughts.
She knew that Du Anran was not the kind of girl with a heart of stone. She must have said those words in anger. If she did not let her go, she would probably have trouble sleeping tonight.
"I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse... " Bai Ruyun sighed deeply in her heart.
"AUNTIE! " Du Anran called out to mother Xin. The night wind blew her hair and she moved her lips. "I'll go with you. "
Finally, Mother Xin's face revealed a look of joy. She nodded and did not say anything else. She just sent Du Anran into the car. The two of them did not say anything else along the way. Only mother Xu would occasionally Nag a few words to break the awkward atmosphere.
Doctor Kong and Chi Xue had been staying at home with Xin Zimo. During this time, Chi Xue had seen Xin zimo twice on the Internet. She only poured him a glass of water, but Xin Zimo did not touch it.
Xin Zimo just sat there expressionlessly, maintaining the same position without moving. The curtains in front of him had already been drawn tightly. The only thing that entered his eyes was the endless dark blue color of the curtains. It was like an endless sea. Loneliness and loneliness swarmed up, and there was no end to it.
However, when Doctor Kong, who was downstairs, occasionally spoke a little louder with Chi Xue, an ear-piercing word jumped into Xin zimo's ears: Stone Door Alley.
The corners of his lips curled into a cold smile. It was unknown whether it was because of a fever that had damaged his brain or he had ulterior motives. When Chi Xue came up to see him for the third time, he did not reject her.
This time, Doctor Kong added a fever medicine into the water. Chi Xue handed the Cup to Xin Zimo. "brother Zimo, drink some water. You haven't eaten or drunk all night. "
Xin Zimo actually raised his hand to take the cup. Chi Xue was pleasantly surprised. Seeing that he had drunk all the water in the cup, she happily asked again, "are you still thirsty? I'll pour more for you! "
Xin Zimo did not say anything. He only looked up at her. The corners of his lips were filled with an unfathomable smile, and his eyes were filled with a tenderness and sweetness that Chi Xue had never seen before.
Chi Xue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She lowered her head in embarrassment. "I. . . What's wrong with me? "
The tenderness in his eyes almost melted her whole body. She had never seen such a tender-hearted Xin Zimo.
At this moment, Xin Zimo heard mother Xu's voice. It was faint but not loud, but he could hear it clearly. "Miss Du, you were in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare the shoes. You can change into Miss Chi's slippers! "
"Okay. "
Hearing this familiar voice, Xin Zimo's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Perhaps he was blinded by his thoughts, he pressed on Chi Xue's shoulder and carried her to the bed. He pushed her up, scaring Chi Xue into resisting.
"brother Zimo, you, don't be like this... " Chi Xue quickly refused. At this moment, she didn't know who Xin Zimo thought she was. She didn't want to be someone else's substitute.
"Why can't I... " His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with endless tenderness. His hand brushed Chi Xue's cheek and smoothed out the strands of hair on her forehead.
"brother Zimo, who am I? " Chi Xue's heart almost melted on his fingertips, but she didn't want to be so confused.
Xin zimo curved his lips into a smile. "Xue'er, are you confused? You don't even recognize yourself? HMM? "
This "Xue'er" made Chi Xue completely let down her guard. She slowly closed her eyes and quietly indulged in his tenderness. She was willing to give everything she had to this man, the man she loved the most.
At this moment, the door opened gently. The ambiguous atmosphere in the room made du Anran quickly turn around. "looks like I came at a bad time... "
Mother Xu and doctor Kong also turned their heads away in embarrassment. Only mother Xin was surprised.
Chi Xue saw that someone had come. She had no choice but to push Xin Zimo away. She tidied up her messy hair and looked at mother Xin guiltily, but she could not explain anything. "Auntie... I... "
Xin Zimo's mother looked at Xin Zimo and saw the smile on his face. She said angrily, "you still have a fever, and you don't know your limits. There's no need to rush things like this. "
"Auntie, it's me... not good... " Chi Xue's face was red, and she could only lower her head ...
"Mom, it's all your fault. If you hadn't come earlier, you wouldn't have come later. Now you're counting down on me. " Xin Zimo had a smile on his face, as if he was not sick.
"okay, okay, okay. It's my fault. " Seeing that Xin Zimo was completely fine, Xin Zimo's mother heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw that Chi Xue had already grabbed onto Xin Zimo's heart, she was filled with relief.
On the other hand, Du Anran looked at the happy family and felt that she was unnecessary. She said to mother Xin, "since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. "
A strange feeling welled up in her heart. Du Anran did not know what it was, so she only allowed her feet to walk downstairs.
"Mom, why is she here? " Behind her, Xin Zimo's voice was indifferent and cold.
"Oh, it's nothing. " Mother Xin hurriedly said, "let Doctor Kong take a look at you! " Mother Xin secretly waved her hand at Mother Xu, indicating for her to send Du Anran off.
Mother Xu quickly chased after her. Du Anran, in a trance, changed into her slippers but forgot to wear her own shoes. She walked out barefoot.
"Miss Du, Miss Du! " Mother Xu took du Anran's shoes and chased after her. "You forgot your shoes. Hurry up and put them on, or you'll catch a cold... "
"Oh, thank you. " Du anran stopped and took the shoes from mother Xu's hands. She smiled slightly to express her gratitude.
"thank you so much, Miss Du, for giving the Madam this face tonight. Actually... maybe... " mother Xu did not know how to express what she wanted to say, but her words did not convey her meaning ...
"You should go back quickly. I can walk on my own, " Du Anran said.
"I'll take a taxi for you. " Mother Xu insisted on sending Du Anran to the side of the road. However, the taxi didn't arrive for a while, so she said a few more words to Du Anran, "don't blame me for being too talkative. Actually, you... and young master... are really not compatible... "
A hint of bitterness appeared on Du Anran's lips. "Yes, you're right. "
"It's right if you agree with my opinion. " Mother Xu was a very honest and simple person "Young Master and Miss Chi are childhood sweethearts. I think you already know the reason why young master is with you. Now that Miss Chi is back, Miss Du, it's time for you to quit... "
"I understand. " She didn't need mother Xu to persuade her so earnestly. In fact, she had quit long ago. From the moment she threw the diamond ring to him, all the love between them had ended. Perhaps, it couldn't even be called love... ...
"It's good that you understand. It's good. " Mother Xu was also very gratified and didn't say anything more.
After waiting for a while, the taxi arrived. Mother Xu sent Du Anran into the taxi, waved her hand, and watched the taxi leave before she returned to the Xin family's villa.
In the villa, Xin Zimo was much more obedient than before. He obediently cooperated with Doctor Kong's treatment, took his temperature, dripped water, and took medicine. He did not refuse the entire process.
After doctor Kong put on an IV drip for Xin Zimo, he closed the door of the room. Xin Zimo was the only one left in the huge room. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and did not think about anything.
It was mother Xin who pulled Chi Xue into the living room. She looked upstairs and said softly, "you're too impatient. He's still sick! "
Chi Xue looked wronged. "Auntie, it wasn't me. I brought brother Zimo water, but he... " she did not continue, her face was already red.
"I don't blame you. Don't be wronged. This is a good thing! " Mother Xin patted her hand. "You didn't waste your time during this period. When Zimo is better, you should put in more effort and take good care of him during this period. "
"I know, Auntie. Don't worry. "
Mother Xin was filled with relief. If she had known that Zimo had Xiaoxue in his heart, she wouldn't have had to beg the DU mother and daughter like that and watch their expressions tonight. But now that everything had changed, Zimo finally understood.
"Mother Xu, you're back. Did you send her away? " At this moment, mother Xin saw mother Xu push the door open and enter, so she asked casually.
"I sent her away! " Mother Xu replied.
"That's good. Did you give her some money to prevent people from saying that our Xin family doesn't know etiquette? " Mother Xin mocked.
"Madam, this... without your intention, I don't... "
"You can make the decision for such a small matter in the future. Send them some money some other day. I think they should be quite short of money, " Mother Xin said.
"Yes, I understand, " mother Xu said.
"It's so late. Quickly send Doctor Kong home to rest. I've really troubled you all tonight, " mother Xin said with a smile.
"Madam is too polite. " Doctor Kong took his things. "I'll come back tomorrow to take young Master's temperature. Young master only caught a cold. He'll be fine after a few days of medicine. Madam doesn't have to worry. "
"Alright, I'll take care of him. Then I'll have to trouble you to make a few more trips, Doctor Kong. " Mother Xin sent Doctor Kong off and gestured for Chi Xue to go up and chat with Zi Mo. .
Chi Xue understood what mother Xin meant and walked towards Xin Zimo's room alone.
The lights in the room were on. Xin zimo leaned quietly on the headboard of the bed. There were still needles in his hands, but he sat there with his eyes closed. There was a faint smile on his lips.
"Brother Zimo, let me help you lie down. " Chi Xue walked over softly, afraid of disturbing Xin Zimo.
"No need, I don't want to sleep yet. " Xin Zimo didn't open his eyes and only said lightly.
"You didn't eat dinner tonight, why don't I ask mother Xu to make some snacks? "
"No need, I'm not hungry. "
"Oh. " Chi Xue saw that Xin Zimo didn't take care of her, completely unlike the enthusiastic Xin Zimo from before. She was a little disappointed and sat beside Xin Zimo. "Brother Zimo, why did you catch a cold today? "
"It was late autumn and the wind was strong. I forgot to close the office window. " Xin Zimo said lightly.
Chi Xue knew that Xin Zimo was lying. He was at du Anran's place today.
"brother Zimo, my shop will open in three days. You must come when the time comes, " Chi Xue said.
"Yes, I will definitely go. " Xin Zimo still did not open his eyes, as if he was very tired.
Chi Xue looked at Xin Zimo in front of her with the help of the gentle light. He looked Pale, much thinner than the first time she saw him after she returned to the country. His long eyelashes outlined a thin shadow. His thin lips were pursed lightly. He was neither happy nor worried. Chi Xue knew that he must have many worries in his heart.
Chi Xue covered Xin Zimo with the blanket. Suddenly, Xin Zimo grabbed her hand, but his eyes did not open. Chi Xue was shocked. Just as she was about to speak, Xin Zimo said, "If I wanted you to stay by my side, would you refuse? "
