At more than five o'clock the next morning, ye Zhiqiu got out of bed.

At dawn, she went downstairs quietly, put on board shoes and ran around the military area command compound. When she came back, she just saw Ye Jiming playing Taijiquan in the yard.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Ye Jiming asked her at breakfast, as if surprised.

"Can't sleep."

Ye Zhiqiu brought the milk to Grandpa. When he heard his earnest words, he said, "don't worry too much about the exam. Just do your best."

She smiled without much explanation.

After a while, ye Jiming told her, "go and see your grandfather later. I heard something happened to the Han family."

He didn't elaborate on what it was, but ye Zhiqiu felt that Grandpa knew, and she also said what she thought: "I originally planned to go to the public house for lunch."

Ye Jiming nodded and said nothing more.

——————————————————————————

Before going to Han's house, ye Zhiqiu went to man Fuji to buy an open burning bag for grandpa and came out with a box. He happened to meet Jiang Hui.

Fengcheng said goodbye. This is the first time they met.

Jiang Hui was wearing ol formal clothes and seemed to be going out to talk business with others. She opened her mouth and stopped the girl who was about to pass by: "Zhiqiu!"

Ye Zhiqiu turned his head.

Seeing Jiang Hui smiling at herself with her bag, she was stunned first, and then politely said, "aunt Jiang."

Jiang Hui's eyes stayed on the box in her hand. Her eyes were very gentle: "come out and buy breakfast?"

"This is for Grandpa." Ye Zhiqiu shook the box and smiled. "The old man likes to eat barbecued pork buns here."

"You are so filial." Jiang Hui smiled in her eyes and looked like she liked Zhiqiu very much. She looked around and pointed to Yonghe soybean milk not far away: "are you in a hurry to go home? If not, go there and aunt will treat you to breakfast."

Ye Zhiqiu is no longer hostile to Jiang Hui. Although he is not hungry, he has no good intention to brush Jiang Hui.

……

As soon as Jiang Hui sat down, she reported a lot of breakfast to the waiter, and kindly asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Zhiqiu, do you have anything special to eat?"

"I'll just have a cup of soybean milk." Ye Zhiqiu returned the menu to the waiter.

Maybe she saw that she had eaten breakfast. Jiang Hui smiled gently and talked with her about her study.

"I have a friend who has achieved excellent results in reading since childhood. When other boys ran to the game hall by bike, he was studying with books in his hand. When others studied hard, he was still studying. In life, he followed the rules. I haven't seen him do anything special these years."

Ye Zhiqiu's heart suddenly tightened because Jiang Hui's "friend" even slowed down the straw to stir soybean milk.

Jiang Hui smiled, as if she hadn't seen her, and sighed: "my friend is a man with a strong sense of responsibility. When he was young, he married a woman he didn't love because of his responsibility. I thought he would live like this all his life, but not long ago, he told me that he wanted to divorce."

“……”

Ye Zhiqiu curled her fingers and clenched the straw, because she saw Jiang Hui's eyes fixed on her face.

In an instant, ye Zhiqiu's heart beat faster. She didn't know the reason and was inexplicably nervous.

When she thought Jiang Hui wanted to say something else, Jiang Hui turned to the service desk and muttered, "why didn't you bring the Fried Bun?"

Next, Jiang Hui did not talk about her "friend.".

But ye Zhiqiu is a little wandering, too empty.

……

After saying goodbye to Jiang Hui at the door of the breakfast shop, ye Zhiqiu took a taxi to Han's house. Until he entered the door, he still looked haunted.

Jiang Hui's "friend" refers to Huo Zhongxiao.

Ye Zhiqiu doesn't know why she guesses so much. It's like a guide to make her believe that the person is him.

Hasty footsteps came from the slow steps of the stairs.

She looked up and saw sister-in-law Tang coming downstairs with an old Han's coat. She looked anxious. Ye Zhiqiu took off her shoes and went in: "sister-in-law Tang, what's the matter, Grandpa?"

"Not yet, Miss San. The old chief is in there with Xiao Jiang. He said he had lunch and had to go to Yunnan."

Then sister Tang looked at the Korean old bedroom and said, "your little aunt, she cut her pulse in the hospital this morning."
