"Go away and stop being so disgusting."

Zhou Chen pushed Fang Yifan away and asked, "Why, did your mother agree to let you take the art exam?"

"Why are you bringing up something else?"

When it comes to this, Fang Yifan immediately stopped talking. A few days ago, he went home and told his parents about the art exam, but his mother directly retorted him, telling him not to think too much, concentrate on studying, and take the college entrance examination.

He had been depressed enough these past few days, and now Zhou Chen brought it up again. He immediately became withdrawn and returned to his seat.

After Fang Yifan left, Ji Yangyang came over and said to Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, are you fully recovered?"

Zhou Chen: "It's completely healed."

I greeted the concerned classmates around me one after another, and everyone didn't go their separate ways until the teacher came.

When the evening self-study class was over, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao were waiting for Zhou Chen and the others in front of the teaching building, and they walked towards the school gate in a group.

"Zhou Chen, I'm sorry, my parents have gone too far." Qiao Yingzi said to Zhou Chen with an apologetic look on her face.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. They are them and you are you. I won't have a bad impression of you because of them. I think if it were you, you would definitely think the same as I do, right?"

"Of course." Qiao Yingzi answered without hesitation.

"That's it."

"Hey, what riddles are you two doing?"

Fang Yifan came over. He didn't understand anything about the conversation between Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi.

Qiao Yingzi said depressedly: "I went to the hospital to see Zhou Chen that day, and my mother saw me when I came back. She thought Zhou Chen and I were in a premature relationship, so she didn't treat Zhou Chen well and asked my father to cause trouble for Zhou Chen."

"real or fake?"

Huang Zhitao had already heard about it, but Fang Yifan, Ji Yangyang and Lin Lei'er were all very surprised.

Fang Yifan pondered and said, "But considering your mother's personality, this is something she can really do. I think you two are really something. You don't even know how to keep a low profile when you are in love."

"Shut up, you."

Qiao Yingzi kicked Fang Yifan aside and said, "What's even more depressing is that my mother..."

Before she could finish her words, Huang Zhitao next to her bumped into her and pointed to the school gate.

When Qiao Yingzi looked forward, her face changed immediately. She saw her mother Song Qian standing at the door and waving at her. Her yellow windbreaker was very conspicuous.

Although Qiao Yingzi was extremely reluctant, she could only look at everyone helplessly at Song Qian's beckoning, and then slowly walked towards her mother.

Watching Qiao Yingzi and Song Qian leave, Fang Yifan and the others, who were unaware of the situation, were all confused.

"What's going on?"

Huang Zhitao replied: "Yingzi's mother is worried about Yingzi and Zhou Chen, so she has to pick her up from school every day."

"Is it so cruel?" Fang Yifan and the other two were stunned.

Ji Yangyang was even more shocked and said, "These parents are really looking for trouble. I can't stand it."

Fang Yifan asked Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, your future mother-in-law is so wary of you, don't you have any thoughts at all?"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "What can I do? Can I use an eight-fold scope to kill her?"

"Fuck, you are too cruel to even say such a thing."

Since that day, Qiao Yingzi would go to school and go home from school every day under her mother's "protection". Even during holidays, Qiao Weidong would come to keep an eye on Qiao Yingzi and prevent her from contacting Zhou Chen.

On this point, Qiao Weidong was particularly obedient. No matter how much he doted on his daughter, he was absolutely on guard when it came to Zhou Chen. No matter what Qiao Yingzi said, he didn't give in.

The pressure from both her parents made Qiao Yingzi extremely miserable. Even on campus, Zhou Chen tried to counsel her many times, but the effect was still not good.

Especially after the parent-teacher meeting, Qiao Yingzi became even more depressed, which made Zhou Chen even more anxious. He felt that he had to take action, otherwise Qiao Yingzi would really be forced into depression.

But before Zhou Chen took any action, Qiao Yingzi approached him first.

Tomorrow is the weekend, Zhou Chen went to bed early in the evening. He plans to go to the mask factory tomorrow.

Ever since he took charge of the mask factory, he has been producing medical masks. The inferior masks like those in the past have been discarded by him.

He was going there this time because he had obtained permission to start producing N95 masks, which was a very important matter for the mask factory, so he planned to go there in person for two days.

But he had just fallen asleep for a short while when he was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Qiao Yingzi. The key point was the time: it was past one in the morning.

"what's the situation?"

Zhou Chen was a little confused and had a bad feeling. Qiao Yingzi called him so late, there must be something wrong.

"Hey, Yingzi."

"Zhou Chen, I'm at your door."

Zhou Chen sat up immediately: "You are at my door?"

"Ah."

"Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you now."

She quickly put on her pajamas and opened the door. She saw Qiao Yingzi, wearing a coat, standing at the door shivering.

He pulled Qiao Yingzi in and closed the door.

"Yingzi, what's wrong with you? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you dare to come to my place. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your mother?"

"It's okay. We both have insomnia at night and we take sleeping pills. She won't wake up for several hours."

Qiao Yingzi blew on her hands. She had been thinking for a long time in front of Zhou Chen's door before she called Zhou Chen.

"Come on, go into the room, the heater is on."

The living room was a bit cold, so Zhou Chen pulled Qiao Yingzi directly into the bedroom.

"Yingzi, if you don't mind, come into my bed and warm up. If you have anything to say, we can talk after you are warm."

"No, I'll just sit on the chair."

Qiao Yingzi walked to the chair beside the bed and sat down. She did not feel shy entering her male classmate's room in the middle of the night, being alone with him or her. Instead, she felt depressed.

Zhou Chen sat at the head of the bed, looking at the low-spirited Qiao Yingzi, and asked softly: "Yingzi, it's so late, can't you sleep?"

"Well, I want to sleep, but I just can't. As soon as I lie down, my mind is full of random thoughts and I can't fall asleep."

Qiao Yingzi had a painful expression on her face. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She just couldn't sleep. It had been going on for several days. She couldn't bear it tonight, so she thought of going to Zhou Chen to hide.

Zhou Chen immediately realized that Qiao Yingzi's condition was not good. She might have been developing towards depression, or even had mild depression.

But of course he would not tell the truth to Qiao Yingzi at this time. They were all senior high school students and had some understanding of depression. He was afraid that if he told her the truth, it would scare Qiao Yingzi.

"That should be insomnia. It's okay, Yingzi. I know you've been under a lot of pressure recently, both from study and other aspects, but no matter what, you must relax your mindset and don't let your mind wander. No matter what, you still have my support. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will definitely support you and protect you."

"Thank you."

Zhou Chen's words comforted Qiao Yingzi a lot, and her tense emotions gradually eased.

After Qiao Yingzi calmed down, Zhou Chen continued to ask: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me. If you have anything you want to vent, you can vent to me."

Chapter 264 Zhou Chen's singing, Yingzi's elixir

"I do not know what to say."

There was too much suppressed in her heart, but when it came to speaking it out, Qiao Yingzi had no idea where to start.

Zhou Chen gently pulled her hand up and held it in his palm.

"I'm not an outsider. I'm the one who's going to marry you in the future. You can trust me absolutely. Tell me all your pain and grievances. Even if I can't necessarily help you solve them, it's always more comfortable to speak them out than to keep them in your heart."

Even Qiao Yingzi, who was feeling uncomfortable and depressed, immediately blushed when she heard Zhou Chen say that he would marry her in the future.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I was going to marry you? Can you please stop talking nonsense?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I'm not lying. In this world, I will definitely marry you."

Qiao Yingzi suddenly retracted her hand. Zhou Chen had just gently scratched her palm, which made her very shy. She didn't dare to let Zhou Chen tease her like that again.

"I'm not stupid enough to be fooled by your words."

"Then I'll trick you into it with just two or three hundred words."

"Hate."

Seeing that Qiao Yingzi smiled because of his interruption, Zhou Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Qiao Yingzi would always be immersed in sadness. Although he didn't know much about depression, he felt that talking more, laughing more and being more cheerful would definitely be conducive to recovery.

"Zhou Chen, I really don't know what to say. You know a lot about our family's situation, and there is no way to solve it."

"And I don't want to embarrass you, because my parents have been very rude to you. If you quarrel with them because of me again, then..."

Although Qiao Yingzi didn't go on, Zhou Chen already understood what she meant. It was nothing more than that he couldn't convince Song Qian and Qiao Weidong at all.

On the contrary, if you interfere too much, Song Qian will become even more aggressive and may do even crazier things.

Qiao Yingzi knows her mother very well, so she doesn't want Zhou Chen to take care of her. It's not because she doesn't trust Zhou Chen, but because she doesn't trust her mother.

"Okay, since you're in a bad mood, I'll sing a song for you."

Qiao Yingzi was surprised and asked, "You can sing too?"

"Well, I'm not bragging. If I were to enter the entertainment industry, I would definitely become a big star."

"Just blow it."

"Oh, I know best whether I am bragging or not. You, why don't you listen to the song I sing first?"

"Okay, then go ahead and sing. If you don't sing well, I'll beat you to death."

Because of his young body, Zhou Chen obviously found that his voice was much better than in other worlds. With a better voice, singing would naturally sound better.

Zhou Chen began to sing softly for Qiao Yingzi. The songs he sang were all healing and warm.

Zhou Chen sang each song, then took a two-minute break and continued singing. This intensity was really easy for him.

When they were working on All Is Well, he and Yi Fei stayed in the recording studio for days and nights. His voice was almost broken from singing, but he still persevered.

Now, singing a few songs for Qiao Yingzi really feels no pressure at all.

When Zhou Chen was singing the fifth song, he found that Qiao Yingzi had fallen asleep with her feet on the edge of the bed and her body leaning against the chair.

"Ugh!"

Zhou Chen sighed softly, smoothed the loose hair on Qiao Yingzi's forehead with pity, then carefully picked her up, put her in his bed, and covered her with the quilt.

After doing all this, Zhou Chen sat on the chair and looked at Qiao Yingzi who was sleeping soundly.

Only then did Qiao Yingzi, who was soundly asleep, relax his brows. This poor child must have been under tremendous psychological pressure, otherwise he would not have run to his house in the middle of the night.

Zhou Chen did not sleep, but took out his cell phone and looked at it. Qiao Yingzi could sleep at his place for a while, but she must not sleep until dawn, so he could not sleep. He had to wake Qiao Yingzi up and let her go back before Song Qian found out that Qiao Yingzi was not at home.

At three forty, Zhou Chen woke up Qiao Yingzi.

Qiao Yingzi woke up in a daze, and was shocked to see Zhou Chen standing at the head of the bed.

"Zhou Chen, why are you in my room?"

She was surprised, but not afraid. It can be seen that she was full of trust in Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Look carefully, whose room is this?"

Qiao Yingzi looked around in the dim light and her face suddenly turned red. She finally remembered what had happened and sat up instantly. Seeing that her clothes were still on, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looking at you like this, you don't really think I would take advantage of you and do something to you, do you?"

"Cough cough."

Qiao Yingzi coughed twice in embarrassment, and quickly changed the subject and asked, "What time is it now?"

"Three fifty soon."

Qiao Yingzi was immediately shocked: "Ah, I slept for so long."

She remembered that it was just past one o'clock when she came to Zhou Chen's place, and now it was almost four o'clock, which meant that she had been sleeping here for almost two hours.

"You haven't slept yet?"

Zhou Chen: "I dozed off for a while, but I was worried that you wouldn't wake up and your mother would find out, so I had to wake you up."

"Yes, yes, yes, I can't let my mother find out that I'm not at home, and I can't let her find out that I'm here with you."
