Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9017: Under the cliff, there is an abyss (3)

"It's a common headache medicine. I usually take it when I have a headache. It's a prescription developed by my father. It has no side effects."

Xiao Xisi's voice is not loud, but there is an echo in the cave.

Looking out from her point of view, she could see snowflakes flying outside the cave. The ground was covered with a layer of white, and the field of vision was completely white.

Under the boundless white, there are bare tree trunks, with occasional birds flying over, leaving slight traces.

The north wind blew up the snowflakes, and the pupils of the portrait were pure white.

The world in the cave seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. At this moment, it seemed that she and Xiao Mingzhang were the only two people left in the world.

She was holding a thermos cup, which was very warm.

"Mr. Xiao, if you think it works well, I'll get you a bottle later. Don't worry, I won't harm anyone."

Hearing her words, he smiled lightly and raised the corners of his lips: "It would be terrible if a young girl can harm others."

"Mr. Xiao, don't tell me, I really know some ulterior prescriptions."

"Oh? Are you going to hurt me?" He was still smiling, tilting his head and looking at her.

The similar gaze collided with his eyes, and suddenly, his heart seemed to stop beating, and his palms became hot.

She looked away slightly without meeting his eyes: "My dad said that doctors are there to save people and should never harm them."

"Your dad is a very good man."

"It's a pity that good people don't live long."

She lowered her head, but Xiao Mingzhang did not look away.

"Why didn't you study medicine?" he asked.

"have not thought."

"Is it?"

"Ah."

"Xiao's R&D Department has some quotas for overseas study every year. If you are willing to study, I can recommend it to you."

Xiao Sisi suddenly opened his eyes wide and shook his head: "I won't go out."

"The training time is not long, only two or three months."

"Don't go."

"Why? Everyone is grabbing this spot. Not only can you learn a lot, but your food and accommodation abroad are also free and there are subsidies."

"I'm not going." Xiao seemed to be very persistent.

"Okay." Xiao Mingzhang didn't force her anymore, let alone ask any more questions.

The snow won't stop for a while, and it's getting heavier and heavier.

Xiao Sisi looked quietly outside the cave.

Staying in the cave, the wind can't blow in, so I don't feel cold.

Sometimes, when they were silent, they could hear the roaring of the wind and snow outside the cave.

"Mr. Xiao, do you like snow? I quite like it."

"Nothing I particularly like."

Xiao seemed to think of it, he seemed to have always been like this, there was nothing he liked or disliked.

He looked cold and lonely. Although he was surrounded by many people, he was lonely.

Also, my memory has been missing for many years, and it feels like a piece of my life has been cut out.

She smiled: "Mr. Xiao doesn't like the flowery stuff either?"

"..." The corners of his lips raised, and his expression changed again, "What do you think?"

"You must like it."

Xiao Sisi showed him several more recent photos and videos of Huahua.

She took a lot of funny photos and emoticons for Huahua, a little cat, so cute.

"Mr. Xiao, look at this plush doll, you bought it. I also covered it with this blanket, and it likes it very much. I didn't compete with it!"

"What's his is yours, you can snatch it from him."

"That's not okay, they all belong to the little flower girl."

When she talked about this, her voice was soft and soft.

There was an interesting video and she handed him her phone to watch.

Xiao Mingzhang took her phone and watched the video on the phone carefully several times.

Accidentally, his hand swiped the screen and the video cut to the previous one.

"Auntie, Zheng Bao will carry Tang Xi for you."

Xiao seemed to be in a panic, snatched the phone from his hand and turned off the sound. Seeing her nervous expression, Xiao Mingzhang frowned in confusion.

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was the child who called her last time. She said he was a relative's child. It seemed that she had a good relationship with the relative's child, and she also saved the child's video on her phone.

He hadn't had time to see the child in the video clearly.

Xiao Xisi's heartbeat accelerated and his fingers trembled slightly.

She said nothing and put away her phone.

"Xiao Sisi, what is this child's name?"

"Zhengbao."

"How old?"

"Just started kindergarten."

"Do you have any relatives?"

"I'm not really an orphan. I also have distant relatives."

Her words were watertight, and Xiao Mingzhang had no doubts: "You seem to like children and animals very much."

"I can't resist cute little guys."

"Why don't you show it to me? I can't resist children now."

"It's a personal matter, so I don't want to disturb Mr. Xiao."

"You make a distinction between public and private matters."

Xiao Sisi's voice was still trembling when she spoke. At this time, she was a little panicked.

Xiao Mingzhang didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao seemed to cover up her panic, lowered her head and continued writing her notes.

She was writing notes, while Xiao Mingzhang closed his eyes slightly, leaning against the mountain wall behind him, closing his eyes and concentrating.

He could hear the howling wind and the sound of writing, but his mind went blank.

He wanted to recall something, but found that it was empty, there was no memory in his mind.

During the three years of treatment in France, his memories were only of the hospital and a villa where he often lived. Xiao seemed to ask him if he liked snow, but he didn't know.

The only memory he has left is no snow, and this is the first time.

The first snow is at this moment.

Time passed by, and Xiao looked outside worriedly: "Mr. Xiao, are you feeling better? Let's go down the mountain!"

"It's not too late to leave after the snow stops."

"But it seems...can't stop."

He didn't speak, just kept his eyes closed.

Xiao Si seemed not to ask any further questions.

It's okay to stop, wait until he gets some rest, he's not physically strong enough to go on the road yet.

……

Winter nights come early.

Before long, it was already dark and it was hard to see.

There were several candles in the cave, which seemed to be left by the villagers, and they seemed to light one.

The candlelight was weak, but it illuminated the entire cave.

Sitting in the cave, to Xiao Xiang's surprise, it wasn't even cold.

She gave the food in her backpack to Xiao Mingzhang: "Mr. Xiao, eat something. The snow should stop when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"Why did you bring food?"

"My dad used to say that you should be prepared for any emergencies. Every time he goes up the mountain, he likes to bring some food for fear of being trapped on the mountain. I have also developed this habit."

"You like your dad very much?"

"Yes, he is a very warm person."

Xiao Mingzhang said no more and looked at the dancing candlelight.

He was an abandoned child since he was a child and was adopted by the Xiao family. His parents were probably not "warm".

Xiao seems to be eating, his eyes bright.

She looked at Xiao Mingzhang and asked him: "Mr. Xiao, what are you thinking about?"

"What kind of parents would throw away a newborn baby?"
