In this way, the three people eat around the small table in front of the hospital bed. This is something Cheng Zichu has never experienced. In his life, the three people always eat at the table, observe the table etiquette and have regular cups and plates.

There was a silence on the table. Both of them were thinking about their own things. Xu Yanran was immersed in the memory and couldn't extricate himself for a long time. Cheng Zichu also thought that he would eat the meal made by Xu Yanran soon, and the corners of his mouth were full of laughter.

"Look! It looks like snow outside!"

Lele was bored eating alone. Turning to look out of the window, he found that snowflakes began to float in the sky. Although it was not big, he could still vaguely see a vast expanse of white.

Xu Yanran answered and turned her head. Looking at the snow outside, she suddenly felt a touch in her heart. This was the first snow after she returned home!

"Do you want to go out for a walk after dinner?"

Although Cheng Zichu didn't look up at her, she knew that Xu Yanran must be very happy. She always paid great attention to the sense of ceremony. No matter what Memorial Day or the first snow, she would be happy for a while and pestered Cheng Zichu to celebrate together.

"I'm going too! I'm going to make a snowman!"

When Lele heard that he was going out, he raised his little hand excitedly. Xu Yanran would take him to play every time it snowed abroad.

"Not this time. Your injury hasn't healed yet. Can mom take you again when it snows next time?"

Xu Yanran held Lele's hand, put it into the quilt and looked at Lele's depressed face. Although she was distressed, she was also very helpless.

After dinner, Lele soon went to sleep because of drugs. Cheng Zichu and Xu Yanran quietly went out of the door. The corridor outside was quiet, and even their footsteps were heard clearly.

"How's Lele's injury?"

Cheng Zichu took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence between the two.

"The doctor said he recovered well. He can be discharged on New Year's day, but he still has to rest at home and can't exercise violently."

Xu Yan Ran in her pocket and followed Cheng Zichu step by step. There was a big distance between them. It seemed that they were deliberately alienating each other.

"Has the perpetrator been found?"

Cheng Zichu didn't deliberately approach, but asked without a word. In a gentle tone, he couldn't hear whether he was really worried about Lele. Instead, he was suspected of deliberately looking for a topic.

"Not yet. The public security organ has been tracking down. AI Xue has asked these two days. She has some eyebrows, but she is still investigating."

After that, they were silent again. In fact, Cheng Zichu knew these things long ago. How could he not care about Xu Lele? Naturally, he learned about the situation at the first time.

The snow is still falling. A thin layer of snow has accumulated on the ground. Stepping on it makes a "creak" sound. The small garden of the hospital is very quiet and snowy. There are only two people on the road. Under the illumination of street lamps, the shadow is pulled for a long time.

Xu Yan lowered her head and retracted her neck into the collar of her coat. The shadow was a little shorter than before.

"Cold?"

Cheng Zichu stopped and asked. Xu Yanran didn't react for a moment. She turned and looked at Cheng Zichu.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Cheng Zichu just stood in the darkness and looked at Xu Yanran under the street lamp. His eyelashes had been condensed into beads of water because of the breath and hung on them. In the blink of an eye, they flashed.

"I said, is it cold, or go back."

Cheng Zichu raised his hand and gently stroked the snow on Xu Yanran's broken hair. The dark color was a little moving, but Xu Yanran couldn't see the look on his face.

Xu Yanran turned sideways. She shook the snow on her head and put on her hat. "Go back first. I want to go to the nearby supermarket."

"I'll go with you."

Cheng Zichu took a step forward and walked into the light, one step closer to Xu Yanran. Their shadows overlapped together, and their actions looked very ambiguous.

"No, actually I can..."

"I said, I'll accompany you." Cheng Zichu interrupted Xu Yanran and walked forward.

Xu Yanran looked at Cheng Zichu's back and stood in place. She didn't know whether it was because of her illusion or something. She just suddenly felt that Cheng Zichu's tone and attitude towards herself had changed significantly.

It seems that since knowing that Lele is his own son, everything he does is towards himself, which makes Xu Yanran feel confused about him.

"What's the matter? Why don't you go?"

Cheng Zichu walked for a while and found that Xu Yanran didn't follow up. He stopped and turned to ask Xu Yanran behind him. Xu Yanran gently shook her head, took a deep breath, ran two steps and followed up.

The two people are back to their former appearance, but Cheng Zichu can feel that Xu Yanran is not as distant from her as before. It seems that she leans over a little, and the corners of her mouth can't help raising a little radian.

"Don't you ask me what I'm doing in the supermarket? Just follow me."

Xu Yanran asked, but her heart was tangled. She had a lot of dealings with Cheng Zichu after returning home for such a long time, but she tried her best to suppress her feelings. She had never been like this time, as if everything had never happened four years ago.

Cheng Zi was stunned for the first time. Obviously, he noticed the difference in Xu Yanran's tone. His eyes suddenly felt wet. Xu Yanran waited for four years.

He thinks he has strong control, but Xu Yanran tries to forget for so many years, but he still doesn't know whether he will succeed or not. He knows that Xu Yanran's words just now have completely broken all his walls.

"I don't ask. If you want to say, you will naturally say. If you don't want to say, it's no use pressing you."

Cheng Zichu's voice was a little hoarse. Xu Yanran recognized that her voice was wrong. She looked up at Cheng Zichu, but saw his red eyes.

Xu Yanran quickly lowered her head and was at a loss. In her impression, she had never seen Cheng Zichu.

"I didn't say anything just now..."

Xu Yanran thought with some uneasiness. She didn't know which words could make this irritable and cold but never weak person look like this.

"In fact, I went to pick gifts for Lele. I didn't have time to buy things for him at Christmas, otherwise you would help me pick them?" Xu Yanran pretended to be nothing. She turned off the topic unnaturally, trying to hide what she had just seen.

Cheng Zichu stopped, grabbed Xu Yanran's arm, pulled it into his arms, pulled Xu Yanran close to his arms, closed his eyes and hugged Xu Yanran tightly.

Xu Yanran was too frightened to move and let Cheng Zichu hold her. If she had always pushed him away, today's hug was full of tenderness. There was no tyranny and autocracy, but endless love, which made Xu Yanran reluctant to let go.

"Sweet, come back."
