give me years of peace

Chapter 70
"Meiping, it's already so late, you should go back quickly and find a doctor for Zimo. An Ran is also very tired, so you don't come to her anymore." Bai Ruyun advised.

Xin's mother shook her head, with a look of sadness and despair: "Zimo's fever was so bad that he locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone. He was just joking with his own life..."

"Since you don't want to go, then forget it." Seeing that Du Anran was unmoved, Xin's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "My own son, I will find a way..."

Mother Xin no longer forced Du Anran, turned around and walked out.Du Anran looked at her trembling back, but did not speak.Bai Ruyun looked at Mother Xin, then at Du Anran's expression, and shook her head.

The wind blew across Du Anran's cheeks, and it was very cold. She stood there without moving.A withered yellow ginkgo leaf fell on her shoulder, was blown by the wind again, danced in the moonlight, and fell quietly to the ground.

"An Ran, follow her if you want to go..." The daughter was raised by herself, and Bai Ruyun had already understood Du Anran's thoughts.

She knew that Du Anran was not the kind of girl with a hard heart, and the words she said must be angry words. If she didn't let her go, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

"I really don't know if it's a disaster or a blessing..." Bai Ruyun sighed deeply in his heart.

"Auntie!" Du Anran stopped Mother Xin, the evening wind blew her hair, she moved her lips, "I'll go with you."

After all, mother Xin's face showed joy, she nodded, without saying anything, just sent Du Anran to the car.The two of them didn't say a word along the way, only Madam Xu occasionally chattered a few words to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

Dr. Kong and Chi Xue stayed with Xin Zimo at home all the time. During this period, Chi Xue went to see Xin Zimo twice and only poured him a glass of water, but Xin Zimo didn't touch it.

Xin Zimo just sat expressionlessly, maintaining the same posture without moving.The curtains in front of him had already been closed airtightly, and what caught his eyes was only the endless dark blue of the curtains, like a boundless ocean, loneliness and loneliness swarmed up, without end.

However, when Dr. Kong downstairs occasionally spoke louder to Chi Xue, a harsh word popped into Xin Zimo's ears: Shimen Lane.

There was a cold smile on the corner of his lips, and he didn't know whether it was because the fever had burned his brain out, or he had ulterior motives. When Chi Xue came to see him for the third time, he didn't refuse anything.

Dr. Kong added antipyretics to the boiled water this time, and Chi Xue handed the cup to Xin Zimo: "Brother Zimo, drink some water, you haven't eaten or drunk all night."

Xin Zimo actually raised her hand to take the cup. Chi Xue was pleasantly surprised. Seeing him drink up all the water in the cup, she happily asked again: "Are you still thirsty? I'll pour it for you again!" "

Xin Zimo didn't speak, but looked up at her, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his lips, and a tenderness that Chi Xue had never seen in his eyes.

Chi Xue was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, and she lowered her head in embarrassment: "I... Is there anything wrong?"

The tenderness in his eyes made her almost melt. She had never seen such a tender Xin Zimo.

At this time, Xin Zimo heard Madam Xu's voice, which was faint and not loud, but he could hear clearly: "Miss Du, you are in such a hurry that you haven't had time to prepare your shoes, so you can change into Miss Chi's slippers!"

"it is good."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xin Zimo's heart was full of mixed feelings, maybe he was dazzled, he held Chi Xue's shoulder, hugged her to the bed, and pushed her up, which made Chi Xue resist again and again .

"Brother Zimo, you, don't be like this..." Chi Xue quickly refused. At this time, she didn't know who Xin Zimo took her for. She didn't want to be someone else's substitute.

"Why not..." His voice was hoarse, and there was endless tenderness in his eyes.He brushed Chi Xue's cheek with his hand, and smoothed the broken hair on her forehead.

"Brother Zimo, who am I?" Chi Xue's heart almost melted on his fingertips, but she didn't want to be so vague.

Xin Zimo bent his lips and smiled: "Xue'er, are you confused? You don't even know yourself? Huh?"

The sound of "Xue'er" made Chi Xue let go of all guards, she slowly closed her eyes, and quietly indulged in his tenderness.She is willing to give everything she has to this man, the man she loves the most.

Just at this moment, the door opened gently, and the ambiguity in the room caused Du Anran to turn around quickly: "It seems that I came at the wrong time..."

Both Xu Ma and Dr. Kong turned their heads away in embarrassment, but Xin Mu was surprised.

Seeing someone coming, Chi Xue had to push Xin Zimo away, straightened her messy hair, and looked at Mother Xin with a guilty face, but couldn't explain anything: "Auntie...I..."

Mother Xin looked at Xin Zimo, saw the smile on his face, and said angrily, "You still have a fever, and you don't know how to do things properly. There is no rush for this kind of thing."

"Auntie, it's me...not good..." Chi Xue blushed and could only lower her head.

"Mom, it's all your fault. If you don't come sooner or later, I'm the last one to lose." Xin Zimo had a smile on his face, as if he wasn't sick.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Seeing that Xin Zimo was completely fine, Mother Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Chi Xue had captured Zimo's heart, she was filled with relief.

On the contrary, Du Anran looked at the happy family and felt that he was too much, so he said to Xin's mother: "Since there is nothing wrong, I will leave."

There was a strange feeling in her heart, Du Anran didn't know what it was, she just let her feet go downstairs.

"Mom, what is she here for?" Behind him was Xin Zimo's voice, indifferent and cool.

"Oh, it's nothing." Xin's mother hurriedly said, "Let Dr. Kong show you!" Xin's mother secretly waved to Xu's mother again, signaling her to see Du Anran for a ride.

Xu Ma hurriedly chased after her, Du Anran changed into slippers in a daze, but forgot to put on her own shoes, and walked out barefoot.

"Miss Du, Miss Du!" Mother Xu chased after Du Anran's shoes, "You forgot your shoes, put them on quickly, or you'll catch a cold..."

"Oh, thank you." Du Anran stopped, took the shoes from Mama Xu, and smiled slightly to express her gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Ms. Du, for being willing to give Madam this face tonight. In fact...maybe..." Mama Xu didn't know how to express what she wanted to say, so she just couldn't express it.

"Go back quickly, I'll just go by myself." Du Anran said.

"I'll take a taxi for you." Mama Xu insisted on sending Du Anran to the side of the road, but the taxi hadn't arrived in a while, so she said a few more words to Du Anran, "Don't blame me for talking too much, actually you... ...and the young master... really don't match up..."

There was a bit of bitterness at the corner of Du Anran's mouth: "Yes, you are right."

"You just agree with my opinion." Madam Xu is a very honest and simple person, "Master and Miss Chi are childhood sweethearts, the reason why Master is with you, I think you already know the reason why I don't tell you Now that Ms. Chi is back, Ms. Du, you should quit too..."

"I understand." She didn't need Mama Xu's persuasive persuasion. She had actually quit long ago. From the moment she threw the diamond ring to him, all the love between them was over.Maybe, that's not called love at all...

"It's good that you understand, that's good." Mama Xu was also very relieved, and didn't say any more.

After waiting for a while, the taxi came, Mama Xu sent Du Anran into the car, waved her hand, watched the taxi leave, and then returned to Xin's villa.

In the villa, Xin Zimo was much more obedient than before. He obediently cooperated with Dr. Kong's treatment, taking temperature, hanging water, and taking medicine. He no longer refused during the whole process.

Dr. Kong put on the drip for Xin Zimo and closed the door of the room. Xin Zimo was the only one left in the big room.He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and thought nothing of it.

Instead, Mother Xin pulled Chi Xue into the living room, looked upstairs and whispered, "You are too impatient, he is still sick!"

Chi Xue looked aggrieved: "Auntie, it's not me. I brought water to brother Zimo, but he..." She didn't have the nerve to continue, her face was already flushed.

"I don't blame you, don't be wronged, it's a good thing!" Xin's mother patted her hand, "You haven't wasted your time in vain, when Zimo recovers, if you put in more thought, this time will be fine." Take good care of him."

"I know, don't worry, Auntie."

Xin's mother was very relieved, she knew that Zimo had Xiaoxue in her heart, and she didn't have to beg the Du family's mother and daughter like that tonight to see their faces.But now it's all right, everything is clear, and Zimo finally figured it out.

"Xu Ma, you're back, did you send her away?" At this time, Xin's mother asked casually when she saw Xu Ma opened the door and came in.

"Send it off!" Xu Ma replied.

"That's good, do you want to give me some money, lest people say that our Xin family doesn't understand etiquette." Xin's mother mocked.

"Ma'am, this... If you didn't mean it, I wouldn't..."

"You can make up your own mind about this kind of trivial matter in the future, and send them some money another day. I think they should be short of money." Xin's mother said.

"Yes, I understand." Xu Ma said.

"It's so late, hurry up and send Dr. Kong home to rest, I really troubled you tonight." Mother Xin smiled.

"Madam, you're welcome." Dr. Kong took the good things, "I'll come back tomorrow to take the young master's temperature. The young master just caught a cold, and he will be fine after taking the medicine for a few days. Madam, don't worry."

"Okay, I'll take care of him, so I'll trouble Dr. Kong to make a few more trips." Mother Xin sent Dr. Kong away, and then signaled Chi Xue to go up and talk to Zimo.

Chi Xue understood what Xin's mother meant, so she walked to Xin Zimo's room alone.

The light in the room was on, and Xin Zimo leaned quietly against the head of the bed.He still had a needle in his hand, but he sat there with his eyes closed, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Brother Zimo, let me help you lie down." Chi Xue walked over lightly, for fear of disturbing Xin Zimo.

"No, I don't want to sleep yet." Xin Zimo said calmly without opening his eyes.

"You didn't have dinner tonight, why don't I ask Mother Xu to make some snacks."

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Oh." Seeing that Xin Zimo didn't take care of her very much, Chi Xue was a little disappointed when she saw that Xin Zimo didn't take care of her very much, she sat next to Xin Zimo and said, "Brother Zimo, why did you catch a cold today? "

"It's windy in late autumn, I forgot to close the windows of the office." Xin Zimo said lightly.

Chi Xue knew that Xin Zimo was lying, and he was with Du Anran today.

"Brother Zimo, my shop will open in three days, you must come then." Chi Xue said.

"Well, I must go." Xin Zimo still didn't open his eyes, as if he was very tired.

Chi Xue quietly looked at Xin Zimo in front of her under the soft light. He looked haggard, much thinner than the first time she saw him after returning to China.His long eyelashes outlined a faint shadow, and his thin lips were pursed lightly, without joy or worry.Chi Xue knew that there must be countless things hidden in his heart.

Chi Xue covered Xin Zimo with the quilt, and suddenly Xin Zimo grabbed her hand, but did not open his eyes.Chi Xue was startled, and just about to speak, Xin Zimo said, "If I want you to stay by my side, will you refuse?"
