Huacui put her index finger on her lips: "Shh."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Zhao Qiming and Gao Zhenjun were stunned, not expecting this answer.
Hua Cui blinked and tilted her head as if she didn't understand what they were surprised about.
Zhao Qiming: "Can't I ask?"
"You can't say that. You have the right to maintain your curiosity." Hua Cui rubbed her fingers on the hanging rope for a while, "Okay, actually this is a birthday gift from my good friend. Have you seen this stone? It represents luck, and she hopes that I will always be lucky.”
"Which friend?"
"You don't recognize me even if I tell you."
"Don't I recognize you?"
"Of course, we grew up in the same courtyard. You have never even met her, how could you possibly know her."
Zhao Qiming nodded and said "Oh" with no strange expression on his face: "I haven't seen you wearing it before. Did you just go to the post office to pick it up?"
Wait, that's not right. Gao Zhen turned his head and looked at Zhao Qiming strangely. Is he confused?
The post office is closed today as usual, how can my siblings get there?
"Yeah, yes." Hua Cui didn't realize it was a trap at all, and still jumped in stupidly, sighing as she jumped, Xiao Ming's eyes were sharper than she thought, "Doesn't it look good?"
".Good-looking." Zhao Qiming paused, "Do you like him?"
Which "ta"? necklace?
Huacui nodded: "I like it, of course I do."
It was the silent formation again, Zhao Qiming nodded: "I understand."
Hua Cui was keenly aware of his bad mood. What did she understand? She couldn't figure it out, so she went up to him and pinched his ears affectionately: "Brother Xiao Ming, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay."
"Is it really okay?"
Zhao Qiming smiled and shook his head: "It's really okay. Don't worry. I just accidentally pulled the wound just now. It's okay now."
His expression was the same as usual, Hua Cui nodded, instinctively trusting his image as an honest person, so she didn't doubt anything anymore.
"It's time to change the dressing, Brother Xiao Ming, have you changed the dressing this afternoon?"
Zhao Qiming remained silent.
"I knew you didn't change your dressing and you didn't take care of yourself. If you keep doing this, when will your health get better?"
Hua Cui was so angry that she murmured in a low voice, but Zhao Qiming still looked at her with a smile. His eyes were gentle and shallow, and he was not annoyed when he was attacked, and he looked like he would be beaten and scolded.
"Idiot, what are you laughing at?" Hua Cui glared at him fiercely. After a while, she raised her hand and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'd better go find a doctor myself"
Her back disappeared through the door.
The smile that always held the corner of Zhao Qiming's mouth slowly straightened, and the last inch was silent.
Gao Zhen held his breath and did not dare to disturb Zhao Qiming. He only glanced at him furtively.
This couple got along so strangely, one smiled and told lies with his eyes open, while the other knew the other was lying but didn't expose it.
They all pretend to be just like the real thing.
He swallowed his saliva and comforted: "Don't be sad, my brothers and sisters must have their own reasons for doing this."
"What's the reason?"
"Well, that's right, that's right"
Well, Gao Zhen actually didn’t know what happened, but he guessed that it was the pretty boy who was showing off his favors just to sow discord now!
Look, brother Zhao is still too young and cannot withstand a little trouble.
Gao Zhen was about to chat with him a little more as a close brother, but Zhao Qiming pulled the curtain between the two beds, as if he didn't want to say more.
Gao Zhen: "Hey, be careful not to listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot in front of you."
"You won't understand."
"Shit, I know best about crazy men and resentful women. Your brother, I have been more frustrated and more difficult than you."
Zhao Qiming looked away without saying a word. The relationship between two people was like drinking water. They knew whether they were warm or cold. Outsiders could not understand it anyway.
As the person who lives with her day and night, how could Zhao Qiming not know what Huacui has been doing these days? He sees every move she makes.
What's more, her concealment wasn't perfect.
Zhao Qiming would occasionally resent her for refusing to deceive him more. He would rather be kept in the dark by her than be as sober as he is now.
There was a muffled sound.
Zhao Qiming turned his head and looked around. It turned out that the bird outside had hit the transparent glass window. It was pacing precariously on the window sill, and soon it flapped its wings and flew away again.
"Hey, this stupid bird is so stupid." After hearing the sound, Gao Zhen stuck his head out and laughed rudely.
Zhao Qiming silently withdrew his eyes, are you stupid? How about compared to him?
He was obviously the one who could stand upright beside Huacui, but now he was reduced to the point where he was not even qualified to be jealous. If he hadn't been stupid and useless, how could he have reached this point?
He nodded and suddenly said: "He is quite stupid." Gao Zhen silently closed his mouth.
My brother is hurt by love now and cannot be stimulated.
*
Zhao Qiming stayed in the hospital for more than a week. Not to mention, Huacui was living quite a comfortable life during this period. As long as she was not allowed to work in the fields, he could say anything.
Li Guifang meant to let Zhao Qiming stay in the hospital for a while longer until his body recovered completely, but Zhao Qiming insisted on going home, and Hua Cui could only bid farewell to the aunt in the hospital cafeteria with tears. These days of contact were enough for the aunt to treat her As a year-end friend.
Huacui packed up her things and asked, "Are you really not going to stay for a few more days? Your body is not fully recovered yet. You will definitely not be able to recuperate well when you go back."
The city is still better, and all conditions are better than those in the countryside. After receiving Zhao Qiming's negative answer, Hua Cui sighed regretfully.
Gao Zhen watched the two of them off: "Brother Zhao, Sister Cui, see you later."
"Let's leave now. I'll come see you and my sister-in-law next time I have a chance."
Gao Zhen smiled cheerfully: "No, I don't want us to meet here again next time."
"Yes." Hua Cui nodded, which was very unlucky.
Gao Zhen is a straightforward person. Not only does he speak and act straightforwardly, but he is also loyal, so Hua Cui has a good impression of him.
"Okay, let's go, brother Zhao, don't forget what I told you before. You go back and think about it carefully."
"Thank you, I will think about it carefully." Zhao Qiming looked serious.
Hua Cui was curious about the endless conversation between the two. She found it boring to stay in the hospital on weekdays and always liked to wander around. She didn't come back until dinner time. After dinner, she wandered around again. She didn't know that the two men were carrying She talked about something.
As soon as she left the ward, she couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Xiao Ming, what did you just talk about?"
"It's not an important thing."
"Then I want to know too." Hua Cui refused.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Qiming spoke softly: "Second sister and Brother Gao Zhen are in the same motorcade. He heard that my mother didn't like the second sister staying in the motorcade, so he planned to ask me to go back and persuade my mother that the motorcade is not as unbearable as she imagined. My second sister's life now is Very good.”
Hua Cui thoughtfully said: "Well, it's time to persuade mother. Second sister can just be happy."
She didn't suspect anything.
Zhao Qiming looked at her deeply.
Actually he lied.
In other words, Gao Zhen did mention these things, but what really made him think about it was another thing. Gao Zhen fell in love with him, and it happened that the team was short of people, so he thought about it and wanted to join the team.
Zhao Qiming had his own considerations, but he instinctively wanted to hide it from Hua Cui. Subconsciously, he felt that Hua Cui would not be happy because he was "promising."
Zhao Qiming's breathing was heavy. On the contrary, perhaps she preferred that he remain as he was...
During this time, cockleburs are growing wildly in the fields and can be seen everywhere. Hua Cui hates those little prickly things that stick to her clothes and cannot be cleaned off.
What about him?
In her eyes, is she the same as the annoying Xanthium? I wish I could kick him out as soon as possible.
Because she will abandon her sooner or later, that's why the idea of him hoping to make her live a better life through hard work is so ridiculous.
"Brother Xiao Ming, let's leave quickly. The car owner will be anxious later."
Huacui was too lazy to walk on the mountain road, and she couldn't carry Zhao Qiming on a bicycle. He was injured, and she couldn't let him walk or ride a bicycle. Huacui simply rented a tractor to send the two of them back.
"Okay." Zhao Qiming nodded lightly.
He has always been a reserved person, and no matter how uneasy he is, it is difficult for him to show it on his face.
No one else is to blame for the current situation. Everything was his own choice, and he was solely responsible for it. He had already guessed that this might be the case, and he was just lucky.
He was unwilling to give in.
What if she has some true feelings for him?
