Zhou Yongan looked carefully at the thermometer reading and then frowned.

He stood aside, looking at the patient with his eyes closed on the bed like a doctor, feeling helpless and wishing he could suffer this pain for Li Qingwen.

After sending Tong Xiao back just now, he turned back. Thinking of Li Qingwen's condition today, he was still worried about leaving her alone.

There was a green plastic bag of Isatis root in the trash can in the living room, and an unprocessed bowl of medicine on the table. The residue at the bottom of the bowl had dried up. He judged that she knew she had a cold before she went hiking.

This silly woman, he just wanted to be with her, he didn't have to go hiking.

Li Qingwen woke up the next day feeling even worse. His waist and legs were sore, as if he had just moved bricks. He had no strength at all.

She got out of bed and felt like she was falling apart with every step she took.

There was no one in the room and the bed was tidy as if it had not been used.

Li Qingwen took off the fever-reducing patch on her head. If it weren't for this thing, she would really think that she had dreamed last night.

Zhou Yongan has been here.

As she walked downstairs, she was wondering when Zhou Yongan left last night, but she had no recollection of it at all. Then she heard the sound of a door opening in the entrance hall.

Zhou Yongan walked in skillfully as if he was returning to his own home, holding two breakfasts in his hands.

The cold weather outside was blocked off behind us by the door.

He exhaled hot air, looked at her, changed his shoes and walked towards Li Qingwen.

"How do you know the password?" Every cell on Li Qingwen's face showed that his master was surprised.

After the separation, she had clearly changed her password.

He shouldn't know.

Zhou Yongan handed over his breakfast and said proudly, "Don't forget that my major in college was computer science. I can crack an electronic lock in minutes."

She was a little skeptical: "So powerful?"

"Of course, so don't even think about changing your password, it's useless. Besides, I'm not doing anything, so don't be on guard against me."

Changing the password is to prevent him. If it's not to prevent him, there's no point in changing the password.

Li Qingwen warned him: "Do you know that you are breaking into a private house? It's illegal."

Zhou Yongan freed up a hand and touched her forehead: "Is it still burning? Come and have some porridge and buns."

He ignored Li Qingwen's puzzled and serious expression and sat down at the dining table.

The fresh meat and shrimp porridge was thick, fresh and hot. Li Qingwen blew on it twice after every bite. Although she had no appetite, she knew that skipping breakfast was unhealthy.

The two of them sat face to face, and Zhou Yongan looked at her intently, watching her eyelashes flutter and her faded peach lips sipping the hot porridge.

I actually felt a sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Li Qingwen tried to drink half of it, and after filling his stomach, he put down the white porcelain spoon: "Thank you for the porridge, you can take it out when you go out."

Her face was still pale and she looked sickly.

Seeing her stand up, Zhou Yongan asked her: "What about lunch? Do you want to eat anything?"

Sometimes I feel annoyed by Zhou Yongan's behavior. Li Qingwen knows too well that she will fall into the trap because of his gentleness and thoughtfulness.

But she was also very clear that she could not ask Zhou Yongan to do or not do something. She could not control others and could only manage herself.

"I don't have anything I want to eat. If I get hungry I'll order takeout. Don't worry."

How can I not worry? Can takeout be eaten? It’s not as clean as home-cooked food.

Zhou Yongan didn't respond to her. He packed his things and left.

After Li Qingwen went upstairs, he crawled back into bed. It was still warm in winter.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when she woke up again. She had slept for so long that her head felt numb.

In the living room, Zhou Yongan had already left, but strangely, pork rib soup was simmering on a low fire on the kitchen stove.

The rice cooker is cooking millet porridge.

Did he do it?

Or did Mrs. Fan forget the date and come back?

Li Qingwen didn't have time to think about all that. He was hungry, and seeing that the pork ribs soup was almost done, he turned off the fire and got a bowl of porridge.

At the door, the doorbell rang.

Li Qingwen subconsciously thought it was Zhou Yongan, and muttered to himself: He is pretending again, saying that he broke into a private house and was being polite.

Seeing that he was pressing the button all the time, Li Qingwen dragged his sore legs to the door and opened it.

Tong Daqiang looked at Li Qingwen: "Miss Li, it's me, I'm Tong Xiao's brother Daqiang."

Li Qingwen recalled what Mrs. Fan had said that day: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Tong Daqiang: "It's like this, I want to ask Miss Li to lend me some money. It's not much, 500,000 yuan. I know you must have the money, so just help me. You are so close to my sister Tong Xiao, right?"

Li Qingwen heard Tong Xiao mention it last time and knew that he had borrowed money from a loan shark: "I am good friends with Tong Xiao, but I have no friendship with you."

She said as she was about to close the door.

Tong Daqiang leaned against the door with his hands and feet, looking embarrassed: "Miss Li, please help me. If I don't have this money, I will be finished!"

Li Qingwen was speechless. He didn't understand her at all. She loved money so much that she wouldn't be willing to lend it.

Her tone was a little colder: "Even if you are dead, it has nothing to do with me."

"Ms. Li!" Tong Daqiang suddenly yelled, "Your husband is a banker, are you so stingy? Did you know that I will die if you don't lend me the money? You take care of the deaf-mute so much, which shows that you are a kind person. How can you watch someone die without helping him? If I don't pay back the money, those debt collectors will really hack me to death. If I die, will Tong Xiao forgive you?"

Tong Daqiang's words were illogical. Not to mention Tong Xiao's attitude, what did his death have to do with her?

But what did he say just now?

Li Qingwen noticed one of his sentences. It seemed that he had followed her to the deaf-mute center. How long had he been following her? How could she not notice it at all during this period of time?

"Tong Daqiang, how much online loan did you borrow?"

"Two hundred thousand, but with interest compounding, it's now over half a million! I, I don't have that much money to pay it back. If I don't pay it back, it'll just keep getting bigger and bigger. I really have no other choice, Miss Li, please be kind!"

"Have you looked for Tong Xiao?"

Tong Daqiang paused and said, "No, if you are willing to tell me where she lives, I will go find her immediately and not disturb you."

He wanted to find that dead girl, but he didn't know where Tong Xiao lived or where she worked. He could only hide in the bank building and follow the clues to find Tong Xiao's rich best friend.

Li Qingwen: "If Tong Xiao doesn't want to tell me, I won't tell her. Ask her yourself."

Tong Daqiang insisted: "Then lend it to me, you must lend it to me."

Li Qingwen hadn't even had a mouthful of porridge when her stomach growled and she felt weak. She wanted to get rid of Tong Daqiang as soon as possible, so she simply threatened him, "If you don't leave, I'll call the police."

Suddenly, Tong Daqiang pushed hard, pushed the door open and rushed in.

Li Qingwen's words completely angered him. Tong Daqiang said fiercely, "Last time your husband called the police and I was put in jail for a week! Now you're doing it again!"

Zhou Yongan?

Li Qingwen was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Tong Daqiang: "Last time, when I came to see you, your husband was very cunning. He called me to the camera surveillance area and scolded me. I just punched him, but he actually called the police to arrest me!"

Li Qingwen thought of the day when Old Xu married his daughter a week ago, when Zhou Yongan's eye was bruised and bloodshot after being beaten...

It dawned on me.

Why doesn’t Zhou Yongan say anything?

Tong Daqiang didn't want to stay for long, he threatened: "You rich people like to use the law the most, the police are on your side, we poor people also have our own way of doing things! If you don't lend me the money today and don't tell me where Tong Xiao lives, I'll make you pay!"

At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhou Yongan walked into the room in the cold wind, with the hem of his coat fluttering in the wind.

He frowned and shook off the coldness from his body. His eyes, looking towards Tong Daqiang, were filled with a layer of cold mist.
