Chapter 25
Liang Zhixuan was still very touched, at least during the period of her illness, there were still people who missed her and cared about her.If her father knew about her illness, she would also miss her, but she has already asked Mu Zheng not to let him know about his own physical condition.

That's why he was in trouble. She didn't have any family members by her side, and she couldn't find relatives' signatures when she was rescued in the hospital. He was the only one by her side.

She was so weak that she couldn't even stand for a long time. As soon as she sat down on the sofa, a black shadow ran past her calf, which was fluffy, and she was shocked.

Mrs. Wang patted her: "It's okay, it's that one-eyed cat."

"One-eyed cat?" She was very surprised, "Why did it come into the house?"

Sister-in-law Wang was also surprised: "Didn't you adopt it? I saw it at home when I came back from vacation, and I even sent it to the veterinary hospital for a follow-up visit with Xiao Zeng."

Steward Zhao interjected, "Mr. Mu should have picked it up. He sent it to the veterinary hospital for the first time."

Liang Zhixuan found it unbelievable that Mu Zheng had clearly said that pets are not allowed in this house.

She got up to look, and sure enough, she saw a cat nest in the corner of the side door. In fact, it was the rattan basket she had put in the yard before, with a cushion added, and it was moved into the house. The one-eyed cat was lying on it, Watching her warily.

She touched the scab on her face and couldn't help but smile bitterly.Probably because of the change of appearance, it doesn't know her anymore, right?
Mrs. Wang gave her a pack of dried fish, set a stool for her to sit on, and let her play with the cat there.When the sun was setting to the west, the rebellious one-eyed cat had hopped around the room for a few times, and finally let her smooth its fur.

It had been bathed and put on weight, and she realized how beautiful its coat color was, and it should have been a beautiful and lovely kitten before the disaster happened.

"Don't get so close to it, it's very wild, be careful to give you a paw and scratch the blister on your face."

Mu Zheng's voice sounded lukewarm behind her, she stood up and turned to face him: "Are you back?"

He ignored her, glanced at the cat gnawing dried fish at her feet with a bit of disgust, and raised his foot to move it away.

"You brought it back? I don't even know... Did you take it to the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"I can't die, but the eyeball is gone and it's impossible to see again." He was a little impatient, "If you have time to care about it, it's better to care about yourself. Just out of the hospital, don't lie down and rest here and play with cats. After being discharged from the hospital What did the doctor say at that time, where is Mu Rong?" He couldn't bear to look at the individual.

Only then did Liang Zhixuan realize that Mu Rong had left at some point, but she was in a good mood when facing Mu Zheng's bad tone, "I've been lying in the hospital for so long and I've had enough rest. If I don't move any more, my muscles and bones will atrophy." She looked down at the cat, "Thank you also for being willing to adopt it."

"I didn't say I wanted to raise it, I just let it live for a few days because of its pity."

She didn't care, smiled and asked, "Did you give it a name?"

Seeing her smile, he seemed to pause, "What do you want to be called?"

"Meow? Or Kitty?"

He was a little speechless, knowing that he shouldn't worry too much about this woman, "It's a male cat, does it make sense to have such a name?"

Liang Zhixuan was a little short of words: "Why don't we just call it One-Eyed?"

His patience finally ran out, he turned around and said, "It's called a pirate, a one-eyed pirate."

It was such a good name that she hadn't thought of it.Liang Zhixuan squatted down happily, gently rubbed the cat and said, "Did you hear that, you have a name, and you are called a pirate!"

It didn't reward the face, and after eating the dried fish, it turned around and walked away with its head held high.

She seemed to be still reminiscing about the name and liked it very much.

It was rare for the two to sit together and eat peacefully. In the kitchen, there was a big pot of South and North Apricot and Pig Lung Soup.

Mu Zheng said: "Is it so delicious?"

"It's really delicious, if you don't believe me, try it."

She took his bowl and filled it for him, and he wiped his mouth with a napkin after drinking, "Usually, Xiao Wu will only do this."

"Is this soup stewed by Mu Rong?" She was a little surprised. In the past few days in the hospital, every meal has a delicious Laohuo soup. She always thought it was Mrs. Wang's craftsmanship, but she didn't expect it to be Mu Rong.

He hummed: "It's delicious, but I thought others didn't do it well, so I just learned how to cook it myself. This trick is delicious all over the world, and he can make the old men and women at home smile with this alone."

In fact, this is not easy, after all, he is a man, he can go out of the living room and down into the kitchen, he is one in a million.

Thinking about it carefully, she had an argument with Mu Zheng that day and broke the vase, and Mu Rong ran out in a panic, holding a big spoon in her hand, as if she was busy making soup in the kitchen, right?
She put down the spoon in her hand and asked Mu Zheng, "Did Mu Rong already know about the fact that I confessed to the wrong person back then?"

They had such a quarrel that day, he should have heard it all, and it was impossible not to ask.In the past few days, she was hospitalized and he came to visit her, and she could feel the subtle changes in his attitude to some extent.

As Mu Zheng said, he is a simple-minded person, and he doesn't know how to hide many things, and he knows the depth with a little attention.

Of course, the most important thing was that she found that Mu Zheng was not afraid to mention this twin brother in front of her.

Mu Zheng was noncommittal: "So what if you know, so what if you don't know?"

Yes, so what if you know?All the regrets and assumptions belong to her and have nothing to do with Mu Rong.He is a good man with pure character, even if he knew, he carefully pretended not to know, just because he was afraid of embarrassing her.

In fact, as long as she let go of her arms, it doesn't matter whether Mu Rong knew that he was the person she was looking for back then.

That's why the ancients said that it's not a good fortune to lose one's fortune. She was ill this time, and her mood was broadened. Many knots stuck in her heart that she couldn't figure out in the past now feel nothing when they are cleared up.

He saw the relieved smile on her lips, and his voice couldn't help tense again: "I don't care about Xiaowu, but I warned you, don't make plans for him. He said that he would take you to Beijing for fun." It’s okay to hear it, it doesn’t matter.”

"I know, even if I could go, I wouldn't go with him. How can I go out to meet people like this?" She is in a good mood today, and he doesn't care about anything.

The blisters and scabs on her face hadn't fallen off yet, and it was the ugliest time. Although she had accepted the fact that she would recover in a few days, it was fine to just stay here quietly, and it would be scary to run out.

Nancheng has already entered the early summer and started to get a little hot, but it is said that she cannot catch cold or wind due to her illness. She can't even blow on an electric fan, and she can't take a bath.

There are reclining chairs and round tables on the terrace outside the living room. She made a cup of red dates and longan tea and took a book to cool off, but found that the seat had already been taken by Mu Zheng, who was holding an iPad.The pirate also licked his hair on the footstool next to him.One person and one cat looked very focused and arrogant, knowing that it was her who came but didn't even look at her.

She had no choice but to leave with her teacup and books, but Mu Zheng said behind her, "Come here."

She turned around, not sure whether she was calling her or a pirate, but the pirate was obviously better than her, and she didn't seem to hear him when he spoke, and licked his hair more vigorously.

He finally raised his eyes to look at her: "I told you to come here, why are you in a daze?"

She walked over and put the teacup aside, he glanced at it and asked, "What kind of tea is so dark in color?"

"Red dates and longan, Mrs. Wang cooked it for me."

He frowned: "For body repair? You can't eat hair with this disease."

"It's not for this." She blushed a little, "It's for nourishing blood, and it's more comfortable to drink."

He reacted, took her hand and pulled her to his lap, and put his hand around her waist, "It seems that this month has been postponed?"

He knew her letter dates, because there was a need, but there was always a week every month that he had to avoid.After her mother passed away, there were only two big men in the family, father and younger brother, who never cared about this and would not talk about it with her, so it was a bit awkward to tell him about it.

"Maybe it was delayed a little because of illness." When she was with him, her menstrual period was occasionally delayed and she would still be nervous and afraid that she might be pregnant.This time, I'm glad I postponed it, otherwise, if it was seen everywhere during the hospitalization, I don't know how embarrassing it would be.

Mu Zheng didn't speak, and sat there hugging her with an unpredictable expression.She felt a little hot, and the scar on her face was itchy when it was hot, and she couldn't help but want to reach out and scratch it.

He stopped her: "Itchy again? Hold on, don't scratch."

The pain can be tolerated, but the itching is really unbearable, she pushed him, "It's too hot, it itch..."

He then let her go, moved her to sit next to her, and watched her open the book, probably because he couldn't concentrate by the side, and didn't turn a page for a long time, so he simply reached out to close it for her, and put the iPad in front of her. Tweeted: "Watch a movie with me."

She was also helpless, huddled together with him, the blisters were itchy, she always wanted to scratch but was afraid of being told by him, she struggled but couldn't do anything.

He picked an old classic movie "The Pianist on the Sea". Liang Zhixuan watched it once when he was in school. Some plots have been forgotten, but in the end the protagonist accepts the feeling of sadness and fulfillment when he accepts self-destruction. It can only be the final and only ending. After so many years, she still remembers it fresh.

Obviously it wasn't the first time Mu Zheng watched it, but the two of them snuggled together and watched it quietly.

Liang Zhixuan had limited energy, and half-closed her eyes after watching the ending. She didn't want to go upstairs to sleep, and Mu Zheng didn't urge her, and opened all the French doors at the front and back of the living room to ventilate.He waited until it was cold in the living room before hugging her horizontally, "Go into the room and sleep, you will catch a cold if you lie here."

After such a movement, she regained her energy, "I don't want to sleep yet."

"Then what do you want to do?"

In fact, she wanted to take a bath and wash her face, and even wanted to scratch the itch on her face, but she didn't dare to say it, and she wanted to cry.

Mu Zheng put her on the sofa, and went to answer the phone when the phone rang. It seemed that Guan Long was calling.He glanced at her and went back to the terrace to listen.

Relieved, she quietly slipped into the bathroom to wash her face, took out a paper towel to wipe off the water stains, touched those dried and hardened scabs, even just gently swirling them could relieve the unbearable itching .

"What are you doing?" Mu Zheng came back after calling and found her right away.

She was startled, as if she had done something wrong, "Oh, no...it's nothing, I'll wash my face."

Mu Zheng looked at her face, pulled her up and said, "Go and apply some medicine."

The doctor prescribed Bactobang, saying that it can be used externally to help reduce inflammation.He hadn't done this kind of thing before, and he could just leave it to her, but seeing her like this, he was afraid that she couldn't help scratching, so he had to be patient and do it for him.

However, the process was not very smooth, he couldn't grasp the strength with his hands, and a relatively fragile blister was punctured by the cotton swab, and the expressions of both of them changed for a while.

"What's the matter... Is it broken? I feel a little pain, is it broken?"

"..."

She reached for the small mirror next to her, and she saw a small tear on her forehead.

When Mu Zheng saw her crying expression, he thought of the day when she cried so much that he coughed up blood in the hospital. He grabbed her mirror and said, "Don't cry! It's just such a small piece, it doesn't matter."

He didn't have the confidence to say it himself, after all, girls love beauty so much.Sure enough, Liang Zhixuan burst into tears, and said with trembling lips, "This will definitely leave a scar..."

"Whoever lies on your face can see such a small scar..."

Before he finished speaking, she turned and left.He pulled her back, and she cried and beat him, "You did it on purpose...you must have done it on purpose!"

With scars, she becomes pockmarked, even her appearance is flawed, and she can't see people anymore.

Mu Zheng was in an inexplicably good mood, restraining her and hugging her into his arms, "I didn't do it on purpose, but I don't dislike you for leaving scars."

The illusion that no one wanted her but he was willing to want her was so good that he was actually quite happy.

He was afraid that she would hiccup from crying again, so he even coaxed and threatened: "What's the use of crying, the most important thing now is to treat the wound well and apply some medicine, otherwise the scar will be deeper."

But she refused to let him apply the medicine no matter what she said, he stood aside with his hands behind his back and said, "Okay, I'm wrong, and I will make it up to you. What do you want to do, tell me?"

Anxious and ashamed, she said mischievously, "I want to hear you sing!"

Mu Zheng was also facing the mirror, and she saw that his face was blushing, which was rare, and he said, "This one won't work, change to another one."

She had a sense of gloating that she caught his pigtail, "What I say doesn't count, and if I don't sing, it's fine."

He stood by the side for a while, then suddenly turned and walked into the living room.

She thought he couldn't joke and got angry again, until she heard the sound of the piano in the living room.

The sound of the piano was melodious and melodious, and the notes of "Romeo and Juliet" flowed in the air like life. She couldn't help but stop what she was doing and walked out, and she saw Mu Zheng sitting in front of the piano.

He didn't look up at her, but she knew the piece was played for her.

She once heard an artist say that it is not difficult to play the piano on stage for a hundred people, but the difficulty is that no matter how many audiences you have, you always play the piano to one person, so that the story in the music can be told well.
