Chapter 38

Mu Jiyun said: "I waited downstairs from 7:50 to 8:20, but I didn't see you downstairs. I thought what's wrong with you."

Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, sour and sweet.

If it weren't for the busy work today, Chu Zhaozhao might have been unintentional because of this sentence. But recently, a new project was about to be launched, and the whole company was so busy that it was not easy to think about it. Even lunch was done with a bun at the station.

At 7:00 pm, no one in the company left.

Chu Zhaozhao had a PRD to ask Mu Jiyun to see him. When she went to Mu Jiyun's office, she saw him staring at the computer and rubbing his eyebrows.

"Teacher Mu." Chu Zhaozhao said softly, "Look at the prd I just sent to you. If there is no problem, I will copy it to A Lu."

Mu Jiyun opened the file she sent. As soon as she looked at a few lines, the phone rang in a hurry.

Mu Jiyun glanced at the caller ID and answered the call first.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"when?"

"Have you been sent to the hospital?"

"Okay, I'll be here soon."

Mu Jiyun hung up the phone after saying these few words, and then put on his coat and said to Chu Zhaozhao: "I want to go to the hospital. Prd, just let Shi Yi see it."

Chu Zhaozhao heard anxiety in his tone and quickly moved away.

Mu Jiyun walked to the office door and suddenly turned around and said, "Be careful when you go home tonight."

Chu Zhaozhao nodded and said, "Yes."

After Mu Jiyun left, Chu Zhaozhao worked overtime until eight o'clock, and got off work after the group's task was completed.

The early autumn night was already a little chill. Fortunately, Chu Zhaozhao brought a thin coat when he went out in the morning to avoid being frozen. When he entered the subway station, there were still many people. In this science and technology industrial park, the second peak period was at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, because the group of people who worked overtime all year round also got off work.

Chu Zhaozhao didn't find a seat, so he could only stand.

There were people coming and going around, a little noisy. In such a noisy crowd, Chu Zhaozhao was a little lost. She thought of Mu Jiyun's anxiety when answering the phone today, and felt something very keenly. After all, this kind of scene happened to her too many times.

Such an expression probably happened to my family?

As he thought about it, Chu Zhaozhao took out his cell phone.

When she was working in the morning, she was on the subway, but she only dared to send text messages to Mu Jiyun. In fact, during this period, besides work, she never took the initiative to call Mu Jiyun. Because what she heard was a real voice, she would reveal the other person's emotions and attitude. Chu Zhaozhao was always afraid that her emotions were not equal to the other person's emotions, which would make the rising atmosphere in her heart suddenly fall, so she always sent text messages.

But with what Mu Jiyun said this morning, she seemed to have the courage to call.

Among the chaotic crowd, Chu Zhaozhao called Mu Jiyun.

"Teacher Mu, are you okay?"

Mu Jiyun didn't say anything at first, and said silently for a moment, "There's something."

Chu Zhaozhao asked: "What's wrong?"

As soon as she asked this, the subway stopped and the broadcast sounded: "Unfamily Hospital has arrived. Passengers who need to transfer to Line 3, please get off from here."

Mu Jiyun heard the broadcast and said, "You come out."

Chu Zhaozhao: "Hmm?"

Mu Jiyun's voice was a little low, and he couldn't hide his fatigue, "You come out, I'll wait for you at the subway entrance."

Chu Zhaozhao's eyes flashed slightly. The passenger who had just arrived had already stood up and the subway was about to open.

Suddenly, she rushed out quickly and ran out the moment the subway door was closed, and her clothes were almost clamped.

The two old ladies in the subway looked at Chu Zhaozhao's running back through the window with disgust, "Oh, these little girls, why are you running? Are you grabbing porridge?"

After getting off the subway, Chu Zhaozhao ran all the way out. The escalator broke, so she ran up the stairs in high heels. Since this station was a transfer station, the terrain was complex and the terrain was crowded, she ran for a long time before she found the exit and finally stood on the escalator.

The escalator rose very slowly, but she did not run anymore and stood quietly.

When the escalator emerged from the ground, Chu Zhaozhao saw Mu Jiyun standing by the roadside.

He took off his coat and held it in his hand, wearing only a white shirt and suit pants, no longer standing straight as before, leaning against a tree, hanging his head, and his hair was scattered between his forehead, covering his eyes a little.

Chu Zhaozhao walked over slowly, stood behind him, and called out: "Teacher Mu."

Mu Jiyun turned around and said calmly: "Let me go with you."

Hearing his voice face to face was heavier and more tired than on the phone.

Chu Zhaozhao walked side by side with him, the ground was covered with sycamore leaves, and every step he stepped on could feel the "rustling" sound of the leaves.

This street is not quiet, with street stalls and barbecue, and more are pedestrians coming and going.

After walking for a while, Mu Jiyun said, "I have brought my grandfather into the hospital again."

"Another?" Chu Zhaozhao looked at Mu Jiyun incredibly. The big-name man had already brought his grandfather into the hospital?

When Mu Jiyun saw Chu Zhaozhao's reaction, he smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect that your Teacher Mu is still angry with the elders."

After Mu Jiyun saw through his thoughts, Chu Zhaozhao thought of a way to quibble him, "I actually often quarrel with my parents, and it's been a little better in the past few years."

Mu Jiyun looked down at her, "You are still quarreling? Are you in the nest?"

Chu Zhaozhao heard this and felt that Mu Jiyun was laughing at her, so she could only say softly: "I'm not arrogant."

Mu Jiyun asked again: "Then what, now that I'm grown up, I won't quarrel with my parents?"

"There is no other intention to quarrel." Chu Zhaozhao said, "As long as my sister is healthy and alive, it is more important than anything else."

Mu Jiyun said: "That's just growing up."

Chu Zhaozhao: "Yes."

The two walked in silence for a while. Mu Jiyun looked at the carousel on the roadside ahead and said, "I once had a sister, who is the pearl in the palm of our family."

Chu Zhaozhao said "um" and Mu Jiyun continued: "My parents are old and they are the only daughter of our family. On the day she was born, my grandfather took Yanzhi to the hospital. While the nurse was not paying attention, he quietly bleeded his newborn sister. He almost scared my mother to death, thinking that her face was bleeding."

Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"At that time, my brother and I were already in our teenage years. We fought outside all day and caused trouble and domineering. But there was a small thing in the house. We were both uncomfortable and we had to lie on the bed and stare at her for several hours every day."

"When she grew up a little, even my mother was amazed. My brother and I actually knelt on the ground at home every day as a horse for my sister, and ran around the room with her on her back, and the house was filled with dolls and lace."

"She has no idea how to speak yet, and she has become amulets for me and my brother. Every time we cause trouble, my grandfather wants to beat us up, she will cry next to her. My grandfather immediately has no time to repair us."

Hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao became more and more confused. Since Mu Jiyun had a baby sister at home, it seemed that he had never heard him mention it before.

She was about to ask, but the phone in her bag rang.

It was my father's call.

Chu Zhaozhao answered the phone and heard Chu Mingming's voice, "Sister, have you gotten off work?"

Chu Zhaozhao: "It's time to get off work, what's wrong?"

Chu Mingming: "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Mom wants to make delicious food. Are you back?"

At this time, a car drove from behind. Chu Zhaozhao didn't notice it. Mu Jiyun pulled her wrist and pulled her inside a little.

Chu Zhaozhao really wanted to buy a cake to go back, but the project was launched this week and the whole company worked overtime, so she naturally couldn't go home.

"I will not come if I work overtime this week."

Chu Mingming said: "Okay, then you should pay attention to rest and don't be too tired."

After waiting for a few seconds, Chu Mingming didn't hear Chu Zhaozhao's response and asked again: "Sister? Sister? Are you still listening?"

"Hmm? Oh, what did you just say?"

Chu Zhaozhao's tone was obviously shocked and suddenly came back to his senses.

Chu Mingming repeated: "I said, don't be too tired, pay attention to rest."

Chu Zhaozhao said "yes".

Chu Mingming: "Okay, my parents want to talk to you."

With the phone open on the speakerphone, Dad Chu and Mom Chu said verbally: "Zhaozhao, are you busy lately? Have you eaten? When will you go home if you have time?"

My parents asked several questions in a row, but Chu Zhaozhao didn't listen to any of them.

Just now, when Chu Mingming found out that she was distracted, she could no longer focus on the phone, because at the moment the car arrived, Mu Jiyun pulled her wrist in, but when the car passed, he did not let go.

A few seconds later, his palm slid down Chu Zhaozhao's wrist and slowly held her hand.

This time, it's not the wrist, but the palm.

Like a pair of men and women passing by on the road, they held her palms.

Chu Zhaozhao immediately lost his mind and didn't hear what Chu Mingming said at that time.

He still looked straight ahead and led her slowly.

At that moment, Chu Zhaozhao didn't react and hesitated whether to pull out his hand calmly.

But I just hesitated for a few seconds and missed the best opportunity. Now I am not embarrassed. If I want to break away, why didn’t I just do it? But now, I don’t seem to be able to break away again.

"Zhaozhao? Zhaozhao? Are you bad signals? We can't hear your voice." Chu's father and mother Chu asked again.
