Fragrance of peaches and plums

Socializing at the wine table is indeed the most unproductive social activity. People neither eat well nor talk about things well, as if it is their duty to get each other drunk.Xia Zhengyu managed to make it to the end, and was really suffocated by the smog, so he ran to the bathroom.

The bathroom of this hotel is good, bright and clean, and they are all small cubicles.He closed the door with his front foot, and someone came in behind him.

"Oh, let me tell you... that Wen Xi really looks good." One of them said in a low voice, with an ambiguous tone.

The other person smiled lowly, and sighed again: "Don't worry about it, I heard that he has something to do with that kid Hechun... I think there is a reason for that, that kid Hechun is relying on Gu's family, when will he not have a bad temper, if he doesn't have something to do Son, how can we partner with Wen Xi..."

"Alas!" the person in front interrupted him, "Have you heard of it, he is Dai Wanqing's seed!"

"...Impossible? Dai Wanqing, that enchantress... huh? But don't tell me, it does look a bit like a fox, especially the eyes."

"I really only eat theirs. If he looks at me, I can be hard!"

"..."

The following conversation became more and more unpleasant, Xia Zhengyu was so angry that his body was cold, and at the same time he felt the blood rushing to the top of his head.He recognized these two voices, they were the former secretary's secretary and his friend.

These two people, He Chun didn't want to receive them.It was a good last meal before the year, and I don't know why these two people came.Considering that among the student volunteer team at the base, there was also the junior from the secretary's family, He Chun's attitude at the dinner table was not bad.

But He Chun is indeed a violent temper, Xia Zhengyu sometimes even feels that there is a rogue in him.If you let him know this gossip, I don't know how angry he will be.

Xia Zhengyu is very angry now, he doesn't want to be angry alone.

Hearing that the two entered the compartment, he came out, quickly returned to the box, went straight to He Chun, and whispered something.After hearing this, He Chun frowned, and his face sank.

At this time, the dining table was in disarray, and the dozen or so people in the private room all gathered together to talk drunk.Wen Xi was not quite sober either, seeing them muttering together, he changed his seat and sat down, asking what was wrong in a murmur.

He Chun waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

Then he attached it to Xia Zhengyu's ear and whispered in a low voice.After Xia Zhengyu listened, the expression on his face was both excited and slightly worried, and he asked insincerely: "He Zong, can this be done?"

He Chun patted him: "Go ahead, if there is any problem, it's mine."

Xia Zhengyu stretched out his palm and said, "It's really your fault!"

He Chun gave him a high five: "Don't worry!"

Xia Zhengyu ran away in a hurry.

He Chun's complexion improved, looked at Wen Xi in front of him, smiled, as if he knew what the other party was worried about, and explained actively: "Don't worry, it's nothing, just your kid found two stinky Mouse, I have an idea, let him clean up."

If you can believe this, there are ghosts, Wen Xi is still a little rational: "What bad things did you ask him to do?"

"I'm sensible, don't worry! You are the only classmate I know well in college, don't you trust me?" He Chun smiled brightly.

Wen Xi: "...I can't believe it."

He Chun: "If you can't believe it, you have to believe it—hey, it's almost there, let's say hello and let's end!"

After speaking, the man stood up, and asked the guests present with a courteous look, who wanted to call a driver, and who wanted to take a taxi.Wen Xi looked at his back, and wanted to catch up to him and ask again, but he was a little weak, and after hesitating, Xia Zhengyu came back.

He saw that someone had already left in the box, so he didn't come in again, he just waited outside the door, and even helped He Chun Zhang Luo to call cars and drivers for these guests.After half a quarter of an hour, the box was almost empty.Those who gathered to chat in twos and threes also moved outside.

He Chun pulled Xia Zhengyu, turned to Wen Xi and said, "Let's go!"

Wen Xi asked, "Where are Secretary Li and Mr. Zhao?"

"Go early!" He Chun said.

Wen Xi frowned: "Really?"

He Chun raised his eyebrows at Xia Zhengyu: "Hurry up and pull your teacher Wen out, he's drunk!"

At the moment, He Chun didn't drink much, Wen Xi drank seven or eight percent, and Xia Zhengyu only tasted the wine a little.Hearing He Chun's words, he immediately went in and helped Wen Xi up, put his arm around her coquettishly, and said, "Go home, it's so late."

Wen Xi took a breath, looked at him, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

But Xia Zhengyu suddenly pressed over and blocked his mouth, and He Chunbao who was at the door jumped up in fright and yelled "Aww".After just a light touch, Xia Zhengyu backed away, repeating "let's go home" stickily.Wen Xi was speechless and left with him.

Regarding what happened that night, Wen Xi didn't hear the explanation until a few days later.

——Secretary Li and Mr. Zhao were going to the bathroom, and the handle outside was stabbed by someone with a broom.What was even worse was that there was a sign saying "Under Maintenance" outside the door of the men's bathroom. The two of them squatted in a daze for half an hour before someone came to open the door.

At this time, Wen Xi was celebrating the New Year with Lao Wen at his home, and Xia Zhengyu was far away in another city, so he couldn't teach him a lesson even if he knew about it, so he had to set up a small chat group, and brought Xia Zhengyu and He Chundu into it, and aimed at them. Childishly carried out ten consecutive voice bombing education.

He Chun easily added Xia Zhengyu, and Xiao Chuang asked, "Did you tell him when you heard that?"

Xia Zhengyu thought for a while and replied, "No need, he doesn't need to know."

He Chun sent a like expression, followed by a voice.

Before Xia Zhengyu could listen, there was a knock on the door.Then, grandma opened the door.

It had been a long time since she pushed open Xia Zhengyu's room door like this. Xia Zhengyu was not used to doing this for a while, and was about to protest when he looked up and saw his grandma walking over with a solemn expression.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you?" He put down his phone and pulled grandma to sit down.

Grandma sighed, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Tomorrow, I'm going to have a physical examination."

"Is something uncomfortable?" Xia Zhengyu subconsciously looked at her face, but couldn't see anything, "Is the hospital doing an examination on the third day of the Lunar New Year? How about I call Uncle Lin and ask them first..."

"No, you...Xiao Lu, your friend, helped me make an appointment with his family doctor."

"Which little Lu? Return the family——Lu Huaiting?" Xia Zhengyu reacted in shock.

Grandma nodded, and then said what happened earlier.The more Xia Zhengyu listened, the more he frowned.When grandma finished speaking, he pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time.

Grandma knew that he was extremely resistant to Lu Huaiting, since she came here to explain the matter, she had confirmed her attitude.Xia Zhengyu didn't speak, and she wouldn't explain too much.

The two were relatively silent for a long while, and Xia Zhengyu finally said, "Alright then, I will accompany you tomorrow."

Grandma was a little surprised when she heard this.She guessed at first that the child would agree if he promised, but she didn't expect it to be so straightforward.

"Just check your body well. Let me talk to Lu Huaiting about other matters. If... If the test results come out and you need to be hospitalized, then go to the hospital properly. Don't think about anything." Xia Zhengyu said, getting up Take the letter box from the bookcase and a card from the bottom shelf.

"In the past two years, you have kept the card with me, and I have never used it. My parents have left a lot of money. Don't worry about the financial problem. Don't worry about taking care of everything that is uncomfortable, okay?"

Grandma lowered her head, took a breath, and nodded: "I see, it's so long-winded..."

Xia Zhengyu put the card in her hand: "You're just nagging, why didn't you tell me earlier if you didn't feel well, treating me like a child? I've already celebrated my birthday."

Grandma smiled: "I won't treat you like a child anymore."

Xia Zhengyu cast a look of "this is not too bad", said: "I'm going to eat hot dishes." Then he went out.

When he was face to face with grandma and was silent just now, he was thinking too much in his mind.

Why did she agree to the matter between him and Wen Xi so easily? When did she start to faint like this? The last time he fainted in person was the first time she had fainted. I asked her about her situation carefully. How long does she want to hide like this? Does she want to die alone... Also, has she really overcome the grief of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man over the past two years?

——So far, he has never really let go of it.

——Then, how could she, an old lady in her seventies, really wipe away that grief.

Standing in front of the stove, Xia Zhengyu suddenly felt that there was no more careless, selfish, and willful fool in the world than himself.In the days when they were supposed to support each other, it seemed that the old lady was protecting him.

As for him, he just relied on grandma's protection to continue to be his child.

Before going to bed that night, Xia Zhengyu asked Wen Xi for Lu Huaiting's WeChat account, and sent a verification request, writing "Thank you" on the verification message.In less than half a minute, the application was approved.

Lu Huaiting came back and said: You're welcome.

No nonsense.

Near noon the next day, Lu Huaiting came to pick up grandma in person, and Xia Jun also followed.

Xia Zhengyu and Lu Huaiting looked at each other for a while through the car window, and the words of thanks were stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

Lu Huaiting also had a cold face, not as hypocritical as usual when playing with him, he just said: "Get in the car, my parents are here, it's not convenient, go to my apartment for an inspection."

Xia Zhengyu got into the passenger seat.

The two of them were silent all the way, but grandma talked to Lu Huaiting from time to time, her tone was relaxed, and her mentality sounded very good. The originally cold atmosphere in the car gradually warmed up, and Xia Jun would also intervene a few words.

It didn't take long to arrive at Lu Huaiting's apartment. Dr. Mei from the Lu family had been waiting for a long time, and all the equipment had been transported here from the Lu family.I don't know when Lu Huaiting started preparing.

Xia Zhengyu licked the corners of his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

After seeing grandma and Dr. Mei enter the room specially cleared for this diagnosis, they finally moved to Lu Huaiting's side, and added a sentence of gratitude face to face: "Thank you, Lu Huaiting."

Lu Huaiting didn't look at him, and replied flatly: "No, I just want to repay her."

"Repay?" Xia Zhengyu cast a puzzled look.

Lu Huaiting moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and gave an inexplicable "um", it seemed that he didn't intend to talk to Xia Zhengyu again.Xia Zhengyu didn't want to make fun of himself, so he kept his mouth shut.

The way the two of them looked at each other indifferently was more honest and normal than ever before.No pretense, no overly intense confrontation.
