Contention

In the evening of this day, Lu Yuexi worked overtime at the company as usual.

The subsidiary is not large, so when there are many things to do, even the boss has to obediently stay and finish things with the employees before leaving, otherwise it will accumulate more and more.

Lu Yuexi didn't want to be overwhelmed by a mountain of documents when she entered the office the next day, so she had to ask Assistant Wen to make her coffee while she sat in front of the computer and worked hard to create company profits for her father.

While he was busy, the phone vibrated as if desperately.

Looking down, there was an unfamiliar local number.

Lu Yuexi frowned and picked it up, but a gentle female voice said anxiously:

"Hello, is this Zou Feiniao's sister? I'm her class teacher."

Lu Yuexi: "...well, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. She suddenly suffered from acute gastroenteritis and is now in the hospital. Her mother asked me to contact you. Can you come here sometime?"

Lu Yuexi glanced at the densely packed data and characters in the computer, and sighed:

"Okay, address."

After hanging up the phone and checking WeChat, her dad did indeed send a message just now, saying that Zou Feiniao was sick, and her teacher contacted him, but they are in Sanya now, so please ask Lu Yuexi to go to the hospital to see Zou Feiniao, and ask for a leave of absence by the way Bring people back.

Lu Yuexi was a little impatient, but the child's illness was indeed more urgent.She assigned some of the things at hand to Assistant Wen, and drove to the hospital address sent by the teacher in a hurry.

When she arrived, Zou Feiniao was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV.The person's face was pale, his brows and eyes were sullen, and he looked listless, like a small animal that had been drenched in the rain, huddled in its nest and motionless.

Lu Yuexi glanced at her, and then his eyes fell on the teacher beside him.

"Hi teacher, I'm Zou Feiniao's sister." She went over to shake hands with her, and asked, "How are you?"

"I took the IV and took the medicine, so it shouldn't be a big problem." The teacher looked gentle and elegant, and spoke softly, "I asked her for leave, and you can take her back after the IV is finished."

Zou Feiniao opened his mouth, his voice hoarse:

"Teacher, I will come back to class tomorrow."

"What class are you going to?" the teacher said angrily, "Tomorrow is Friday, you can go back in the afternoon, if you are tired after coming back, just stay at home for a few days to recuperate, you have been working so hard, you don't even take a nap. "

Lu Yuexi went over to tuck the quilt for her, and smiled lightly:

"You rest first. I will talk to the teacher."

She pulled the teacher and walked outside, took out a few red fortresses from her bag and gave them to her:

"It's so late at night, my sister has worked so hard for you to take care of me. This is your medical expenses."

The teacher didn't even look at the money, just smiled:

"It's only about a hundred yuan, you don't have to be polite. Feiniao is my student and class monitor. He usually helps me a lot, so I should do my best."

"Hey, I can't let you work in vain, can I?"

The teacher laughed:

"I still don't want it anymore. After teaching for so many years, I haven't received money from my parents. I'm not used to it."

Hearing what she said, Lu Yuexi did not persevere.Looking at the time, I was stunned to invite the teacher to eat something.

The teacher didn't accept it either, and only said that if she came, she should go back, and there was still evening self-study in the class that required her to attend class.

Lu Yuexi looked at Zou Feiniao who had nothing to do in the ward and took out a book to read. He sighed and sent the teacher out of the hospital building. He chatted with her for a while before going back.

Walking into the ward, Zou Feiniao was still reading, and it was the high school English textbook.

The light in the ward was bright and cold, and she lowered her eyes slightly, and her bloodless face made her look even more lonely. Sitting there alone, her eyes were clear and cold, as quiet as sinking water, and she was out of tune with the other patients and escorts who were chatting and eating next to her.

Lu Yuexi walked over, opened the wooden stool beside the hospital bed and sat down, and said calmly:

"How about I go find a set of papers to write for you?"

Zou Feiniao flicked the book for a moment, closed the book hesitantly, glanced at her face, cleared his throat, and said:

"Thank you, Miss Yuexi."

Lu Yue hugged his chest cherishedly:

"What's the matter, gastroenteritis, did you eat something bad?"

Zou Feiniao's face is pale:

"Almost, I didn't eat anything at noon in the morning, and I ate something spicy at night, and suddenly my stomach hurts."

"There's no such thing as a sudden one. I'm sure you've been eating irregularly, and you've exploded over time." Lu Yuexi snorted, there was still more than half of the medicine liquid in the hanging bottle, and some were waiting, "I just talked to your teacher, I I think your grades are more than enough for the X major, why are you working so hard?"

Zou Feiniao shook his head, feeling helpless:

"My English is too bad. What if something happens during the college entrance examination and I get points?"

"It's not bad, it's just not as good as other subjects."

"Still bad." Zou Feiniao muttered.

Lu Yuexi let out a hiss, frowned, and asked:

"Where you can't do it, let's hear it."

Zou Feiniao looked up at her, seemingly puzzled.

"I didn't mean to mock you, I just wanted to hear your analysis of yourself."

Zou Feiniao nodded, recalled it seriously, and then slowly said:

"Actually, I don't know too well. I've memorized the words three times, and I've probably memorized about 90% of them. I can write the composition well, but I can't listen and read, and I keep making mistakes..."

"Language problem?"

Zou Feiniao paused, thought for a while, and then nodded:

"Maybe."

Lu Yuexi took the English book in her hand and flipped through it. Every page of the book contained dense notes written by the girl.

Her font is in block letters, correct and elegant, profound and beautiful, with one stroke, as if it were printed, and it complements the words in the book, and it looks even more neat and beautiful than the printed letters.

Lu Yuexi was amazed, tsk tsk said:

"Then this is a question that you don't speak often. It's normal. You don't speak English, so your sense of language still depends on speaking. Watch more European and American movies and listen to English songs. Some expressions of foreigners are different from ours, and there are habits of modifiers. The language is also the same, if you write with a Chinese sense of language, it is easy to be cheated..."

As she spoke, she put the book on the bedside table and glanced at Zou Feiniao, who happened to be looking at her seriously, with clear and focused eyes, as if she was waiting for more suggestions from her.

Lu Yuexi smiled and said:

"Get off at the station, don't be in such a hurry."

Zou Feiniao nodded.She should be much more comfortable, and her complexion has gradually turned red, but her lips are too dry.

Lu Yuexi asked:

"Do you want to drink water?"

Zou Feiniao licked his lips reflexively when he heard this, and said softly:

"Thank you, Miss Yuexi."

Lu Yuexi got up to find the water dispenser, where disposable cups were provided.She poured a glass of purified water, touched it, and felt it was a little cold, so she mixed some hot water into it.

Zou Feiniao must have been very thirsty, so he drank it all in one gulp. Lu Yuexi asked her if she wanted it, but she hesitated for a while, then nodded.

The child was still estranged and polite to him.

Lu Yuexi sighed, poured her another glass of water, and then sat on the side to reply to the assistant's message, telling her that he might be late to the company tomorrow.

The two of them didn't speak, and this space suddenly seemed extraordinarily isolated, making it extraordinarily quiet.

Zou Feiniao couldn't lie down, his eyes went straight to the English book.After Lu Yuexi noticed it, she held it in her hand and asked her to close her eyes and sleep for a while.

After waiting for almost an hour, I finally saw that the drip bottle was about to be empty.

Lu Yuexi called the nurse to take off the hanging bottle, and led Zou Feiniao to the doctor's to get the medicine list to get a large pack of medicine, and then drove home.

Zou Feiniao finally showed signs of fatigue on the road, and fell asleep after sitting next to her.

There was a long red light on the way, and there was a queue of cars ahead.Lu Yuexi stopped the car, turned his head and slowly looked at Zou Feiniao's peaceful sleeping face.

This look, for a long time did not look back.

For some reason, she just wanted to see this child.

The car was very quiet, and the street lights outside the window were bright and colorful, fainting on the face of the girl in the passenger seat, like an oil painting that carefully considered the light and shadow.

The girl has black eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a narrow nose, like a jade carved by a famous artist, beautiful and delicate.

She and Ye Huai are similar in appearance, quite national flavor, smiling or not, she is very cold and gorgeous, when she draws her eyebrows and lips, she will reveal a strange coldness.

Lu Yuexi watched quietly, the night was dark, the sound of trumpets and sirens all around served as a foil, except for the face in front of her, she couldn't see the rest anymore.

Ye Huai often fell asleep beside her, sometimes leaning against the desk, sometimes on the sofa at her home.

However, she slept very restlessly, frowning, and often woke up within ten minutes.

So much so that every time she fell asleep, Lu Yuexi didn't dare to move, for fear of making a noise that would wake her up and destroy the rare tranquility that he enjoyed so much.

The horn beeped behind him, Lu Yuexi suddenly came back to his senses, looked up, but saw that the red light had changed to green, and the car behind him was urging him.

She covered her forehead and smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking to herself that she was really possessed.

So I abandoned distracting thoughts, turned the car key honestly to start the car, and stopped thinking about it.

Zou Feiniao didn't wake up until he got home.

Lu Yuexi unbuckled her seat belt and hummed:

"Let you sleep just now if you don't sleep."

Zou Feiniao coughed lightly, put his bag on his back to get the medicine, and obediently got out of the car.

Lu Yuexi turned on the lights and air-conditioning in the living room, let Zou Feiniao sit and watch TV for a while, and went into the kitchen by himself, preparing to make some millet porridge and side dishes for her stomach.

Lu Yuexi was also hungry, but she didn't want to drink porridge, so she made a bowl of sparerib noodles for herself.After tossing in the kitchen for more than half an hour, she called Zou Feiniao in to help serve the dishes.

While eating, she looked at the girl in front of her eating silently, and suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"My dad said you can cook?"

Zou Feiniao nodded, the food was still very hot, she blew the porridge in the spoon while eating, her movements were unhurried.

Lu Yuexi smiled:

"Then it's okay for you to cook by yourself? You're resting at home these two days, so I won't order takeaway for you."

Zou Feiniao was taken aback: "Aren't you at home?"

Lu Yuexi: "I'm currently helping out in a subsidiary of my family."

"Oh, good." Zou Feiniao didn't respond, he just said that he understood, and then lowered his head to eat the porridge in the bowl.

Lu Yuexi ate a bowl of noodles quickly, and had nothing to do after eating, so he just stared at Zou Feiniao.

She was still very reserved, Lu Yuexi didn't touch the chopsticks for the two small dishes that Lu Yuexi cooked, and only ate the porridge in the bowl.

Lu Yuexi asked quietly:

"My cooking is hard to eat?"

Zou Feiniao paused, a little puzzled:

"No, it's delicious."

Lu Yuexi moved the plate towards her:

"Then don't just drink porridge, eat some vegetables too. When you get hungry in the middle of the night, you get up and cook yourself?"

Zou Feiniao said "thank you" lightly, and finally put his chopsticks into the dish.

Lu Yuexi felt a little irritable for some reason, her eyes fell on her father's wine cabinet, she was silent for a moment, got up and took out the bottle, then went to the kitchen to fetch a glass, poured half of it and sipped slowly.

As soon as the wine comes out of the bottle, the mellow and strong smell permeates the surroundings, which is not pungent. It has the aroma of cedar mixed with blackberries, which is long and rich, making people feel a little drunk.

Zou Feiniao glanced at the deep red wine, his eyes were clear, and he seemed a little curious.

Lu Yuexi smiled after realizing it:

"Have you ever drank it? It's okay. I'll give you a taste when you recover from illness."

"I don't drink." She only said stubbornly in a low voice, and went to scoop up the porridge in the bowl again.

Lu Yuexi sighed, and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

Wu Rurong wasn't there, drinking alone was boring.

Lu Yuexi turned up the sound of the LCD wall-mounted TV in the living room to the maximum, tuned to the music station, accompanied by the accompaniment of the violin music, and finally felt something.

Zou Feiniao also finished eating here, so he got up to clean up the dishes obediently.Lu Yuexi followed her, and when someone passed her by with bowls and chopsticks, she suddenly lost her mind and stretched out her hand to hold her.

Zou Feiniao looked back at her:

"what happened?"

Lu Yuexi looked at her and smiled, and just stared at her side face for a while, as if it was interesting, before letting go of her hand after a while, and said lightly:

"It's okay, let's go. After tidying up, go upstairs to sleep."

"Ah."

Lu Yuexi watched her into the kitchen with gloomy eyes.

She laughed, but she didn't really know why she laughed.

The heart is empty, the wind blows by, and there is nothing.She didn't even know what to use to fill this endless emptiness.
