When I woke up early in the morning in early summer, I found that breakfast had been bought and the Chinese medicine was boiling on the stove.
Cen Zhengnian was watching the stove. When he saw her get up, he smiled at her and said, "You're up. It's time to eat."
He even connected the water supply so I could just pour hot water and drink it directly. It was really comfortable to have someone serving me.
Chu Xia noticed the dark circles under his eyes. She asked as she washed up, "What time did you get up? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Six. No, I slept well."
Cen Zhengnian was telling the truth. His biological clock made him wake up at a certain time. He slept well at night, but he went to bed late. He had some data at work, and he had to continue calculating it even if he came back.
He wanted to spend more time with Chu Xia and An An, so he got up to work after they both fell asleep, and continued working until late at night.
Later, when he went back to sleep, he found that his wife's sleeping posture was a bit bad. She took up most of the bed, and one of her arms was pressing on An An.
As he looked at Chuxia and An'an sleeping soundly, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. This was the meaning of their work. They hoped that every family in the country could sleep peacefully and happily day and night.
Cen Zhengnian gently took Chu Xia's arm away and put it into the quilt, then he pulled the quilt for An An. Then he lay down, looked at An An and Chu Xia sideways, and slowly fell asleep.
Cen Zhengnian slept very contentedly that night. He seemed to have had a very beautiful dream, but he could not remember it when he woke up.
Chuxia went to No. 9 Middle School for the exam again by herself, and she didn't ride a bicycle. Taking the bus was fast and comfortable, while riding a bicycle would expose her to the cold morning wind, so of course she chose to take the bus.
During the exam, Luo Xiaomei no longer deliberately made trouble and even avoided Chuxia.
Her face was covered in bruises and swellings from the fight at home yesterday. She was afraid that others would see it, so she wrapped herself tightly in a gauze scarf, leaving only her eyes exposed, which made her look even weirder.
If she didn't come to see Chuxia, Chuxia wouldn't pay any attention to her.
Chuxia did not hand in the test paper in advance this time, and even if she had handed it in, she would not have been able to leave the school. Her head teacher told her in advance that she had something to arrange after the exam, so she stayed there and waited in the classroom.
It was her first time to enter Class 2 (3) of Senior High School. None of the students in the class knew Chu Xia. When they saw a beautiful girl coming in, everyone in the classroom looked over.
"Who is this?"
"Don't know him?"
"He doesn't look like a student. He's probably here to look for someone."
"Student, who are you looking for?"
After a few seconds, the monitor stood up again, pretending to be calm and smiling, and asked Chu Xia. He had never talked to such a pretty girl before, and his face was a little red.
Chu Xia looked at the class monitor and said, "I'm not looking for anyone. I'm also a student in this class."
Then she walked to the last row and saw an empty seat without a book, so she asked the monitor, "Is there no one here?"
"No... No, you can sit." The squad leader didn't react for a moment. When he heard her question, he quickly replied. He himself didn't even know what he replied.
"Thank you." Chu Xia smiled at him politely, wiped the table and chair with a handkerchief, took out the exercise book written by Cen Zhengnian, and concentrated on doing the exercises.
She didn't notice that the entire Grade 2 (3) class was boiling and bubbling because of her arrival, just like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan. Only her drop of water was quiet and undisturbed.
