So that's how it is. Han Zhou only told me that he wanted to have two relationships at the same time, but he didn't dare tell anyone else... Mo Yixia thought to herself.
In fact, Han Zhou certainly had no intention of telling her, but she just saw through it.
Keeping this in mind, she asked, "Excuse me, who are you..."
"My name is Gu Zheng, and I am also a friend and classmate of Han Zhou."
Gu Zheng narrowed her eyes and smiled. She didn't care about the friendship between her and Han Zhou that Mo Yixia emphasized. After all, the summer vacation was over and Han Zhou was no longer the girl's teacher, so it was not surprising to say that they were just friends.
It was a very frank answer, but her tone was filled with a bit of excitement and expectation, as if she was certain that her relationship with Han Zhou could go a step further... It seemed that their relationship was indeed extraordinary, and it seemed that Han Zhou had said something extraordinary to her recently...
Noila Mo thought thoughtfully: “Besides friends and classmates?”
"what?"
"I heard him say that your relationship is similar to that of childhood sweethearts."
"Is there any?" Gu Zheng was stunned.
"Yes, but this is relative."
Relatively speaking...
Gu Zheng was just thinking about this when she heard the other party continue to ask: "You two should have a good relationship, right?"
She wanted to deny it subconsciously, but for some reason she suddenly became alert, so she nodded seriously: "Yes, very good."
"So are we."
Mo Yixia said this unexpectedly, her tone so calm that it sounded like she was talking about what to eat for dinner.
"That's it..."
Gu Zheng felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but it was soon calmed down and a smile appeared on her face, "I know, I also heard Han Zhou mention you."
She felt that she was overthinking it. Han Zhou and this girl spent a lot of time together during the summer vacation, so it was not surprising that they had a good relationship. Anyway, no matter how good their relationship was, it couldn't be better than her and Han Zhou.
It's not that he's forcing a smile, but he really doesn't care... Is he too naive or is he so confident that he doesn't even consider me as his rival?
Mo Yixia's thoughts raced, but it was not until this moment that she truly realized that she was ill. Her head was groggy, her hands and feet were weak, and her thinking was not as sharp as usual.
It seems that now is not the time to fight, at least not before Han Zhou arrives...
Then I should just conserve my energy first, she thought.
Mo Yixia had already anticipated an interesting scene. Han Zhou obviously didn't know that the girl named Guzheng was also in this ward, otherwise she would never have come here without saying a word to die. She was looking forward to seeing the other person's expression when she entered the door.
Gu Zheng also didn't know that Han Zhou would come, and Mo Yixia didn't plan to tell her in advance. She just said that someone would come to take care of her in a while.
From time to time, the sound of leaves being blown down could be heard outside the window. The sunlight came in through the gaps between the branches outside the window, casting a swaying silhouette on the ground. The smell of disinfectant filled the room, which was dispersed by the fragrance of an unknown flower.
The two girls were lying on the hospital beds, whispering about what the fragrance was. They had clearly just met, but they seemed to be getting along quite well with each other. As they were chatting, they became sleepy.
After all, they both had high fevers and had just taken medicine, so neither of them was in good spirits.
It has to be said that the two of them were quite destined to be together, as they had a high fever and lay in the same ward on the same day. If you take into account their identities as love rivals, it would be even more of a fate.
Half asleep and half awake, Mo Yixia heard the sound of the ward door opening. She suddenly woke up and looked up. The person who pushed the door open was not Han Zhou, but a man and a woman who looked somewhat similar to the girl named Gu Zheng.
It looks like her parents.
Gu Zheng was also awakened. Seeing her parents come into the room, she perked up and asked, "Did you finish your meal so soon?"
"Well, I didn't go home. I ate at a restaurant outside." Gu Lang put the bags on the table and said with a smile, "I bought a bowl of porridge from the most reputable restaurant nearby. I heard it tastes very good. Let's get up and try it."
"I don't want to eat. I have no appetite now."
Gu Zheng twitched her nose and instantly lost interest in the bowl of porridge. After thinking for a while, she looked at Mo Yixia in the bed next to her, "By the way, have you had lunch? How about you have some porridge?"
"I don't have an appetite either." Mo Yixia shook her head gently.
"Yes, we are both patients with loss of appetite now."
Although Gu Zheng had no appetite, she was a little hungry. She said with some regret, "If Han Zhou made porridge, I might want to eat it. He cooks delicious food."
"Really?" Mo Yixia became interested. "Have you ever eaten the food he cooked?"
"Yeah, I just ate it yesterday, and my cooking skills have improved a lot."
“Is it delicious?”
"delicious."
"Then I must try it if I get a chance."
"..."
Seeing her daughter chatting with a strange girl, Miao Yaner, who was peeling an orange, asked curiously: "Xiao Zheng, is this your friend?"
Gu Zheng then remembered to introduce her, saying, "Her name is Mo Yixia, and she is Han Zhou's friend. Didn't Han Zhou have a part-time tutoring job during the summer vacation? This was his student at that time."
Mo Yixia thought for a moment and greeted politely: "Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Hello, hello. I didn't expect to meet Han Zhou's friends here. What a coincidence."
Miao Yan'er smiled, but then she remembered that she was in the ward and felt a little embarrassed. "But it seems like a bad timing..."
It's really not the right time -
Han Zhou, who had not yet arrived, agreed with this statement.
Miao Yaner poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the cabinet beside Mo Yixia's bed. She said with a smile, "Your name is Yixia, right? What a nice name. Since you are Han Zhou's friend, you are also Xiao Zheng's friend."
Then he picked up the peeled orange and said gently, "When you are sick, your mouth tends to feel bitter. When I was a child, I used to put something sweet in my mouth. Do you want to try it?"
She put a slice of orange to Mo Yixia's mouth.
The latter stared at her for a while, raised his head slightly, and put the orange into his mouth.
"Thank you." She closed her eyes. "It's sweet."
"You're welcome."
Miao Yaner smiled, walked to Guzheng and fed her an orange slice.
Gu Zheng's eyebrows twitched twice: "I don't want the rest. I don't have an appetite now."
Miao Yan'er keenly sensed something, beckoned her husband over, and chuckled, "Then you can eat the rest, don't waste it."
"Row."
Gu Lang was flattered and immediately took the orange happily. As soon as he took a slice, his smile froze and his expression gradually distorted.
Regardless of her husband who was sour that his face turned grim, Miao Yaner looked at Mo Yixia apologetically: "Sorry, I picked a sour orange for you to eat."
"It's okay." Mo Yixia said in a nonchalant tone, "It's good to taste the sour taste occasionally."
"Did you hear me? Remember to savor all the sour taste."
Miao Yan'er looked at Gu Lang with a smile, her eyes full of dissatisfaction. This guy volunteered to pick all the fruits. If she had picked them herself, she would not have embarrassed herself in front of her daughter's friends.
She picked another orange and tasted it herself. After confirming that it was a sweet orange, she fed another slice to Mo Yixia and asked with concern, "You are sick and no one comes to the hospital to take care of you?"
"Yes, my family will come."
Mo Yixia spoke calmly and asked, “By the way, Auntie, are your family members familiar with Han Zhou?”
Miao Yan'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course, the child even stayed overnight at my house. Also, I'm still young, calling me auntie makes me look a little old. You can also call me Sister Miao like Han Zhou did."
Overnight… Mo Yixia nodded slightly: “I understand.”
While the two were chatting, Gu Lang finally finished the whole sour orange with tears in his eyes. In order to prove that he was good at picking fruits, he took out a peculiarly shaped red fruit from the plastic bag he brought with a look of grief and indignation.
"Open your eyes and look, this is the treasure I found!"
Gu Zheng raised her head and took a closer look, but instantly lost interest: "Isn't it just an apple? What's so special about it?"
“Although it is an apple, it is not an ordinary apple.” Gu Lang said mysteriously.
Miao Yaner rolled her eyes: "I saw you pick it from a pile of apples that cost eight yuan a pound. How special can it be?"
"What's important is not the variety or the price, but the shape. Look at its shape! This is a special apple that is only seen once in a century!"
Mo Yixia looked up and saw that the man was not exaggerating. The apple in his hand was indeed of a strange shape and looked angular, completely different from ordinary apples.
"It's really rare." She gave a fair evaluation, "It's a bit like an orangutan."
"This kid has good vision."
Gu Lang was like finding a soulmate, and said with a look of satisfaction, "You know, when we were young, this kind of apple was called 'fallen star'. It was a real peace apple, and you couldn't buy it even if you had money."
"Dad, I think they are talking about the gorillas in the zoo..." Guzheng reminded him reluctantly.
Gu Lang was struck by lightning: "Is that so?"
Miao Yan'er didn't want her childish husband to change the subject, so she said, "Since it's a peace fruit, let's give it to the children to pray for their safety."
"But there's only one thing. Tell me, how do you want to divide it?"
……
Time returns to the present.
In the ward where the air was almost stagnant, Han Zhou carefully looked at the expressions on everyone's faces in the room.
Needless to say, this guy had seen Gu Zheng before. He knew that the other party was here but did not warn him in advance. It was obvious that he had already made plans to watch the show. Now he was looking at him with a smile;
Gu Zheng's expression was somewhat complicated, a mixture of surprise and confusion. She seemed to be happy to see him, but also wondering why he was here.
Miao Yan'er seemed to be thinking about something, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her eyes moved back and forth between Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia;
Gu Lang held a strange apple shaped like an orangutan in both hands, his expression became visibly serious, and he gave him an extremely dangerous look;
The young nurse holding the IV bottle was obviously confused and had no idea of the current situation.
It was not until the young nurse changed the IV bottle and trotted away that the almost stagnant time in the room resumed flowing, but the atmosphere was still depressing.
"Han Zhou, why are you here?"
Gu Lang put down the apple and stared at Han Zhou's expression without blinking.
They didn't tell this kid that he brought the Guzheng to the hospital, nor did they tell him the ward number. If this guy dared to answer that he came to see the Guzheng, there would definitely be a problem.
But if the answer is about coming to see the girl named Mo Yixia... then that might also be a bit problematic.
"He's here to take care of me."
At this moment, a cold female voice sounded faintly, resounding in everyone's ears like thunder.
