It would be fine if he was just a compulsive gambler, but he actually abandoned his seriously ill child and ran away alone. If that's true, what's the difference between him and an animal?
The sturdy man stroked the diagnosis report and stared at Han Zhou for a while. The other party's face was a little pale, but not sick. Overall, he did not look like a sick person.
"You had better……"
He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go."
"Thank you."
Han Zhou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times.
Although he hid his hands behind his back quickly, the people outside the door still saw the red spots on his palms and were immediately startled.
The little guy's expression was completely frozen. Could it be true that such a young guy would not live more than two years?
No, I said two years a year ago, and now there is less than a year left.
But not only did I keep scolding him, I even cursed him not to live past tomorrow...
The other people also felt bad. Although they were not good people, they could still feel sympathy for such people.
The sturdy man returned the diagnosis to Han Zhou and left quickly with a few people.
Seeing those people disappear, Han Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and went into the bathroom to wash off the ketchup on his hands.
He thought about it and decided that this should be enough. The diagnosis was absolutely authentic. Even if those people wanted to verify it, they would not be able to find any problems, and they would not come here again in the future.
but……
After more than a year, someone suddenly came to collect a debt. Was this a previous debt or a recent debt of Han Long? Did he leak his home address to others?
Tsk, I thought that guy was dead...
It seems that I have to always have ketchup at home in the future, for fear that someone else will come to collect debts.
Han Zhou was in a good mood today, but now he is in a very bad mood.
At the same time, the little man followed the strong man downstairs with a sad face, without saying a word during the whole process.
He kept his head down, feeling unhappy the more he thought about it. Suddenly, he couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and slapped himself hard, shocking everyone.
"Brother Cheng." The little guy said with a look of grief and indignation, "I really deserve to die!"

Chapter 26 Died Last Year
The next day, the sun was shining brightly in the sky.
"I guess this debt is owed by Han Long recently. If this is the case, it will be troublesome. Maybe more and more people will come to collect debts in the future. Should I consider moving..."
The air conditioner was on in the room, and the cool air was exceptionally cool.
Han Zhou had just finished teaching Mo Yixia a lesson. The girl was doing the corresponding exercises, while he was silently thinking about what happened last night.
"I'd rather not do that now. Moving will cost a lot of money, and it will take time and energy to find a suitable house. Besides, I'll be living on campus after school starts, so I won't be home very often..."
"Dong dong dong."
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the study door. Jiang Baiqian appeared at the door and said with a smile, "Is it okay to disturb you? You must be tired. Take a rest first. I'll cut some fruit for you."
Mo Yixia never paid much attention to this mother and didn't even turn her head, but she heard the word "rest" very clearly. She dropped her pen and began to stretch her body, then took off her school uniform jacket, probably because she felt hot.
Han Zhou had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb like her, so he walked to the door, took the fruit plate and said "thank you".
Mo Yixia has a twenty-minute break in the morning and afternoon, and the rest of the time is basically used for studying. This intensity is too much for students, not to mention Han Zhou, the teacher.
However, Mo Yixia himself had never complained about this. It seemed that he had tried it before but failed, so he did not dare to make any random comments.
Jiang Baiqian still had her makeup done delicately. She looked at her daughter in the room for a while and asked, "How was your study today?"
"better."
Just like yesterday, Mo Yixia spoke before Han Zhou again.
"is it?"
Jiang Baiqian smiled widely, and then her eyes fell on Han Zhou, as if she wanted to confirm it again from this teacher.
Han Zhou smiled and nodded: "Your daughter is right. She has indeed made considerable progress compared to yesterday."
Jiang Baiqian was very happy and said with a smile: "Just call her Yixia or Xiaxia. It sounds too weird to always call her your daughter."
She murmured in her heart. Come to think of it, Xia Xia had never called Teacher Xiao Han by his name, nor did she address him as teacher. She always just called him 'that guy'. Is it a common problem among young people nowadays not to address others by their names?
Han Zhou smiled but said nothing. He still needed Mo Yixia's consent on how to address her. It would be bad if he accidentally made her angry again.
His current relationship with Mo Yixia is quite delicate. It is not quite appropriate to call them friends. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them a community of interests. Everyone gets what they need and it is tacitly understood.
Jiang Baiqian didn't want to leave just like that, so she pulled Han Zhou aside to talk about last night's birthday party. After learning that the beautiful girl was his class monitor, an excited smile suddenly appeared on her face, just like those girls in Han Zhou's class who were paired up with him.
Time passed until noon, Jiang Baiqian had prepared dinner and left as usual. In fact, Han Zhou had never known what Mo Yixia's family did. Jiang Baiqian's appearance did not seem like she was going out to work. Although he was confused, he never asked.
It’s not that Mo Yixia would hide anything. This guy basically answers every question. It’s just that she doesn’t seem to like talking about her mother too deeply and tends to avoid similar topics.
So Han Zhou basically didn't ask.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Mo Yixia quickly heated up the food and still didn't ask him for help during the whole process.
Han Zhou did not forget his image as a glutton and ate his meal slowly at the table.
While he was eating, Mo Yixia suddenly pushed a plate of fish over to him, but she didn't let him replenish his brain. Instead, she lowered her head and said, "As long as you promise me one thing, I will agree to let you call me Yixia."
Han Zhou was amused, and he lowered his head, saying unhappily, "Why don't you just promise me one thing, and then I'll agree to you calling me Ah Zhou."
Mo Yixia pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "A Zhou is too ugly."
"Yisha doesn't sound good either."
"Are you sure?"
Mo Yixia looked up into his eyes.
"Well, it sounds a little better than Ah Zhou..."
Mo Yixia said, "Then as a testimony that we call each other by our names, let's each fulfill one of the other's requests. But it's only for today, and it must be reasonable. If you feel it's inappropriate, you can refuse."
"Is it necessary to call the witness by name?" Han Zhou knew that this guy must be planning something again, and asked suspiciously, "Besides, I owe you a request anyway, right?"
"That request has no restrictions. I will keep it for use when necessary. I believe you will keep your promise."
This guy's remarks were too dangerous. Han Zhou warned him, "It's too much to say there are no restrictions. If you ask me to jump off a building, I will definitely not agree."
He thought about it for a while and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this proposal. After all, if he felt it was unreasonable, he could refuse it, and he could also make a request to the other party - well... it wouldn't be too much to make her laugh ten times, right?
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
Mo Yixia shook her head slightly and said seriously: “We must first learn to address each other.”
"Oh, that's quite exquisite."
Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then his expression straightened up and he asked, "So Yixia, what do you want me to do?"
"Han...what's your name?"
"Are you serious?"
Mo Yixia didn't look at him: "Han...Han Zhou, I want you to take me out of the community this afternoon."
"I suddenly realized that I am still not worthy of calling you by your name. Let's eat, eat, eat."
Han Zhou lowered his head and started to eat his rice, looking very depressed. What a joke! Unless he could cut off the power supply in the community, he would have to take his head off to get this guy out?
Mo Yixia was silent for a while, and then said again: "It won't be long."
Han Zhou glanced at her. Apart from the initial request of a food bucket plan and the request to chat with her, this guy rarely made other requests afterwards. He just asked first.
So he said seriously: "Tell me what you are going to do first."
Mo Yixia looked calm: "There is a concert over at Linshuiqiao, I want to go and see it."
"Concert?" Han Zhou quickly refused, "No, no, it takes too much time, and I have to buy tickets."
"I was wrong. It was not a concert, but an open-air concert. No tickets are required."
Han Zhou frowned and asked, "Is there anyone singing outdoors in this hot weather?"
Most of the people who hold open-air concerts at this time are not stars or internet celebrities, but small groups or individuals with little fame. Otherwise, how could they hold open-air concerts under the scorching sun? Wouldn't that be suffering?
He asked again: "Do you know those people?"
"I know him." Mo Yixia admitted frankly, and then said, "I'll just take a look and come back. I won't be delayed for long."
Seeing Han Zhou remained silent for a long time, she ate her meal in small bites, with no emotion in her voice, "If you don't want to, forget it."
Han Zhou thought about it for a moment and roughly understood what this matter meant to this guy.
Suddenly asking to go and see means that she is interested and seems ready to take the risk; if she says it’s okay and has no intention of using yesterday’s conditions, it means that this matter is not particularly important to her.
Is it something that can be ignored?
But since you are interested, it means this may be an opportunity to improve your favorability.
He lowered his head to avoid the camera and said helplessly: "Who said you don't want to? I'm thinking of a way to get out of the community, but you have to think about it. This method will be used less and less each time, and it won't be so easy to go out next time."
Mo Yixia looked at him for a while, then suddenly lowered her head and pursed her lips.
[Daily Task 1 (Mo Yixia): Get the target smiley face 10/1 ten times and get point]
Han Zhou was stunned. He was laughing now? Why?
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did you laugh just now?"
This time, Mo Yixia didn’t say that she didn’t have a face on her head, but admitted: “I guess so, because you consciously thought about the next time you go out, didn’t you?”
Han Zhou was stunned. What does this mean?
Unfortunately, Mo Yixia did not explain her intention.
Han Zhou spent some time and soon came up with a preliminary plan, which was to pretend that his access card was broken and that he needed Mo Yixia to take him out of the community, and then use this as an opportunity to escape.
You can make up any reason for leaving, but it must be conducive to learning.
The reason he had prepared was to borrow Gu Zheng's notes. It just so happened that Jiang Baiqian knew Gu Zheng and knew that her grades were very good, so this would not be so abrupt.
And I believe that Gu Zheng's notes will definitely brighten Jiang Baiqian's eyes, and at the same time she can also meet Gu Zheng, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
