Cen Yun looks at Zeng Zeping bit his lip and said, "I don't want to say anything about Xiaomin, but I will know that it's all because of Xiaomin..."

Zeng Zeping looked at Cen Yun for a while, but did not speak.

"Do you remember a birthday party Xiaomin held here a few years ago?" Cen Yun was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, she didn't wait for Zeng Zeping to speak, then went on, "I happened to have something to discuss with Xiuning that day, but I didn't know. Xiaomin didn't actually ask him to come."

"Xuning seemed stunned to see you all when he came. I don't think you were surprised that he would come, except for Xiaomin..." Cen Yun said, bowing her head, "Later, I accidentally heard Xiaomin questioning Xiuning in the aisle. Did I know it on purpose... and then the more I saw it, the more I understood..."

Zeng Zeping drank the wine in his hand and remained silent.

"I also asked Xiuning later, but he never made it clear. It wasn't until after you guys got engaged that I deliberately asked Xiuning... I didn't know that he meant to leave..." Cen Yun took a sip after saying that. Jiu, with a wry smile on her face, "It has been like this for several years. I watched his always indifferent expression from the side, and sometimes I really want to tell you... But I can't ignore Xiuning's wishes..."

Zeng Zeping could not help standing up at this time.

"Zeping?" Cen Yun raised her face to look at him.

Zeng Zeping's usual calm face became more worried. He looked at Cen Yun and said, "I... I don't know, my heart is very complicated, but... I want to find him as soon as possible."

"But... what if you found him?" Cen Yun asked.

Zeng Zeping was stunned, "I..."

"If you don't love him as much, then don't go to him." Cen Yun said seriously looking at Zeng Zeping.

Zeng Zeping looked at Cen Yun and said quietly, "I still want to find him."

Cen Yun remained silent, and after a long time, she said, "Maybe Xiuning will give up completely after this time..."

Zeng Zeping felt another pain in his heart, and then said in a low voice, "I'll go first, if there is news about him... please tell me..."

Cen Yun nodded, "I will definitely."

Zeng Zeping said nothing and turned to leave.

A few days later, Cen Yun received a call from Zhuo Xiuning.

"Sister Cen."

"Xuning? Is that you? Where are you?" Cen Yun was anxious, her heart beating so fast when she answered the phone.

"It's me." Zhuo Xiuning's voice was still the same.

"Where are you?" Cen Yun asked again.

"I'm fine, tell him for me."

"Don't lie to me, Xiuning! Xiuning?"

"Sister Cen, I won't show up again, you don't need to ask me again, I don't want to say it. I'm sorry." Zhuo Xiuning cut off the phone after speaking, leaving Cen Yun staring at the phone in her hand for a long while.

"What should I do? Zeping?" Cen Yun called Zeng Zeping and told him that Xiuning had called.

Zeng Zeping didn't respond for a while, and finally said in a low voice, "...I see."

"You know? If you want to find him, I'll find him with you." Cen Yun said.

"...Okay." Zeng Zeping said over there.

It's quite difficult to find someone who wants to disappear on purpose. I've searched all the airlines, airports, railway stations, and even the records of cars and buses, but still nothing is found. Three months have passed.

In fact, I knew that it might be empty, but I didn't want to let go of the slightest clue.

On this day, Zhuo's mother called Zeng Zeping to Zhuo's house.

"aunt."

"You are here." Since Zhuo Huamin's death, Zhuo's mother has obviously aged a lot, and her attitude towards Zeng Zeping has also changed slightly from that time, she just said lightly at this time.

"You came to me... What's the matter?" Zeng Zeping's impression of her seemed to have stayed on the day when he treated Xiuning fiercely, so he was very estranged when he saw her this time.

"I sorted out Xiaomin's belongings a few days ago. Some of them may be related to you. Take a look and take them if you want." Zhuo's mother said flatly.

"...Okay." Zeng Zeping agreed, although he said he had been rushing to find Xiuning, but

For Xiaomin, he still has feelings. Even if she has left now, there are still many memories between the two people for him.

Following Zhuo's mother upstairs, Zhuo's mother opened the door of Zhuo Huamin's room and went downstairs, leaving Zeng Zeping alone.

Zhuo Huamin's room was very spacious. It wasn't the first time Zeng Zeping had entered, but it was the first time he felt the emptiness, a feeling that no one was there.

Many things have been divided into several boxes by Zhuo and placed on the ground quietly. Zeng Zeping saw the photo frame in one of the boxes at a glance. The two people in the photo frame smiled happily and naturally. A dull feeling.

Zeng Zeping put down the photo frame, and his memory was suddenly awakened. At this moment, things that seldom remembered in three months rushed up, and his thoughts could not stop at all.

He closed his eyes, Zhuo Huamin's smile became more and more obvious in his mind, and Zeng Zeping finally lost the strength to stand and leaned against the wall behind him.

After a long time, Zeng Zeping opened his eyes, and his eyes were suddenly attracted to a notepad in the box, because the cover of the notebook was completely painted with black ballpoint pen, and it seemed to be a photo...

He crouched down and picked up the book, suddenly stunned.

The original appearance of that photo is not quite recognizable, but Zeng Zeping can still recognize it because—that is the photo of Zhuo Xiuning and him!

He slowly opened the notepad.

Why does my brother like Zeping? I hate the way my brother looks more and more, always pretending nothing happens, I hate him! Why is he my brother? I don't want a brother like that...

Zeng Zeping couldn't help but clenched the page tightly, and was stunned for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

Facts... why is that so

Xiuning... He has always known...

Chapter Six

"Lawyer Zeng, thank you very much this time. I bothered you to run so far for this case."

"Don't say that, Mr. Dong, these are my jobs," Zeng Zeping said.

"I heard that Lawyer Zeng is going to fly back tonight, so let me treat him as a lawyer at noon, okay?" The other party said with a polite smile.

"No need." Zeng Zeping declined.

There was a light rain in the sky of the city, Zeng Zeping was walking on the street unconsciously, three years had passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhuo Xiuning still had no news at all.

Aishima Hospital

"Doctor, a patient in Ward 206 suddenly twitched and his pupils dilated for more than 1 second. Please take a look at the doctor."

"I see." The man stood up, snorted the cigarette in his hand and exited the office door.

"Doctor, doctor, hurry up and see how my husband is doing?"

The man didn't say a word, just walked up to the patient.

The patient appeared to be out of breath, the heart had stopped, and only a green line remained on the instrument.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the man gave him a cardiac pacing massage with both hands. After a few strokes, the patient suddenly regained consciousness. The man quickly ordered, "Send it for X-rays, and then push it to the operating room."

"Got it, doctor."

After the man's operation was completed, it was past lunch time. He only took off his mask and did not change his surgical gown, and went straight back to the office.

"Doctor." Someone was already waiting for him at the door of the office. It was the family member of the patient just now.

"If he can wake up, he will be fine." The man said and walked in directly.

A nurse next to him went in and said, "Doctor Zhuo, have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah." The man nodded and didn't say much.

"This is my bento, if... if you don't mind..."
