"Girl, where are you going?" Zhong Mingwei asked hastily, he was almost certain in his heart. Ah Chou must have seen him before, and there must have been other people around him at that time, he was not sure when it happened. Naturally, he didn't even know who was following him at that time, but there was one thing he could be sure of. Ah Chou should have liked him for a long time. Maybe it's not like I like it, but I already had him in a corner of my heart a long time ago, which surprised Zhong Mingwei. But more is ashamed.
"Twenty-five, grind the beans, I'll soak the beans!" A Chou said angrily. He pushed the door open and went to the outer hall.
Zhong Mingwei got off the kang in a hurry. Supporting Kang Yan'er, he struggled to move outside step by step, until he reached the door. He gasped against the wall. You can see it through the crack of the door. Under the faint yellow candlelight, Ah Chou sat on a stool. Wiping away tears in front of a pot of beans, her braids were shaking with the trembling of her body.
Zhong Mingwei stopped suddenly. The hand that was going to push the door also froze in the air, and then silently retracted it. He didn't push the door. Moved back to the kang step by step.
He didn't know how to comfort Ah Chou. During those years that he didn't know, what Ah Chou endured and how he got through step by step, he didn't know, couldn't imagine it, and didn't want to think too much about it. , because it really hurts badly.
A Chou didn't want him to know that A Chou had her pride, so he pretended not to know, and went to protect A Chou's pride, even though he was so eager to know every bit of them, and in those years, He in A Chou's eyes, and they in A Chou's eyes, but so what? As long as Ah Chou is unwilling, he will never ask in the future, and he will never ask in this life.
Zhong Mingwei sat on the kang in a daze for a while, then crawled over, spread out the neatly folded quilt, and arranged the pillows for the two of them, facing the pink and tender pillow, His nose was slightly sore, and he reached out to rub the pink and tender pillow, then got into the quilt, and pillowed on the pink and tender pillow.
After an unknown amount of time, Ah Chou opened the door and came in. Zhong Mingwei stepped aside in a hurry. Ah Chou took off his clothes and went to bed without saying a word. As soon as his cold body fell into the warm quilt, Ah Chou's eyes Suddenly she got wet, she turned around and slipped into Zhong Mingwei's arms, the next second, Zhong Mingwei wrapped A Chou into his arms with hands and feet, tightly wrapped around this cold little girl, feeling so distressed that she didn't know what to do. how good.
"Zhong Mingwei, I was wrong," Ah Chou whispered with his forehead against the man's chest.
She was wrong, really wrong, she was angry with Zhong Mingwei today.
"Go to sleep," Zhong Mingwei's chin gently rolled over A Chou's hair, while reaching out to pat A Chou's back lightly, "Girl, go to sleep."
Even if this girl was at fault, it was at fault that she valued him too much. In her heart, she valued him more than herself. Zhong Mingwei loved her so much that she didn't know what to do.

December 24th, 32nd year of Jiasheng
capital.
Compassionate Palace.
That night.
After dinner, the Empress Dowager still had to recite sutras for half an hour.
"Queen, take a break." Bi Qiao came in with a bowl of honey and blood swallows. While putting down the bird's nest, she went to help the Queen from the futon. It's still cold, you don't have to kneel like this all the time, your knee hurts carefully."
"Has Qin Lu come?" The queen mother sat down on the soft couch, put down the prayer beads in her hand, and looked at Bi Qiao.
Qin Lv is the head of the Imperial Hospital.
"The head of the Qin court should be here soon," Bi Qiao said, carrying the bird's nest to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, drink some bird's nest to moisten your throat first."
While stirring the bird's nest, the Empress Dowager said slowly: "Have the bird's nests been delivered to Mrs. Hui?"
"Yes, the maid sent it to Mrs. Hui in person," Bi Qiao said with a smile, "Mr. Hui is very grateful to the Queen Mother."
"She grew up in Wutai Mountain since she was a child. She has been a vegetarian for many years, and her body is somewhat deficient. Naturally, she has to make up for it." The queen mother took a bite of the bird's nest, paused, and looked at Bi Qiao and said, "Which imperial physician is now Please give Huigui a peace pulse?"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it is Doctor Zhang." Bi Qiao said.
The Queen Mother took a sip of the bird's nest, and said to Bi Qiao in a slow voice: "In the future, let Qin Lu take care of Mrs. Hui's body. Qin Lu is doing things, and the Ai family can rest assured."
