As soon as Zhang Ling entered the house, she found water on the ground and immediately reached the door.
Her first thought was that the old kitchen faucet must be completely broken.
It should have been replaced with a new one three years ago. In order to save money, my father has been tinkering with repairing the old faucet.
She stepped on the water with her hands and feet, and saw water spurting out like a fountain on the kitchen sink, and it was about to touch the ceiling.
Zhang Ling may have forgotten to turn off the main water valve because she was anxious, so she rushed in and tried to block the water spout with a rag.
The cold feeling in her heart made her brain clear up a lot. Knowing that she couldn't block the water spout like this, she remembered to turn off the main water valve at home.
After such a sudden impulse, the clothes on my body seemed to be stuck to my body, which made me feel uncomfortable all over.
By chance, a neighbor downstairs came to the door.
After some negotiation, the neighbor left. She didn't bother to change out of her wet clothes and immediately cleaned up the water on the floor.
I tried cleaning with a mop dipped in a basin, etc., but finally found that using a broom was the fastest.
After finally cleaning up the water on the ground, she couldn't help but sneeze as soon as she wiped the sweat on her forehead with her hand.
After sneezing, she felt a chill that made her body shiver.
She thought rashly that she would be fine if she just took a hot bath later.
After a rare moment of leisure, I came to my father's door and said "good night" to the door as a habit.
When she didn't hear a reply immediately, she realized that her father was not at home today.
With a bit of loneliness, I opened the bedroom door and looked around at the familiar furniture.
Especially when she saw the old-fashioned radio given to her father, she seemed to feel that her father was still standing there telling her something.
In the blink of an eye, the nagging phantom of my father disappeared before my eyes.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen my father.
She suddenly felt as if she had lost something important, causing a feeling of emptiness in her heart.
It's loss, loneliness, dependence and reluctance on my father.
"dad!"
She shouted with a sense of sadness in her tone.
The sound echoed in the room, which felt unusually empty, as if the soul was wandering in loneliness.
Her eyes gradually became blurry, and she vaguely saw her father sitting on the bedside, nagging her about things to pay attention to after parting.
In the past, her father would nag her as a little girl who didn't grow up.
But this time, my father didn't explain anything.
No, it should be said that my father was explaining it at this moment.
A gust of draft blew through the hall, making her shiver again in her nightgown.
She still thinks she is physically strong.
Thinking that as long as you sleep, these uncomfortable cold symptoms will disappear.
The window in her father's bedroom was not closed, so she walked in with a complaint and muttered, and closed the window smoothly.
Finally she touched the old radio given to her father.
Smiling, he closed the door and left like a temporary farewell between relatives.
"Zhang Ling, I'm here! Open the door quickly!"
As soon as he went out, Yan Yuan's penetrating voice sounded.
This way of not knocking on the door, but shouting to notify the door, Yan Yuan must have drunk too much.
In order to prevent the neighbors from getting angry, she could only quickly open the door and drag Yan Yuan into the house.
Before she could scold Yan Yuan, she unexpectedly heard the drunkard crying like he was heartbroken and saying:
"Zhang Ling, I'm heartbroken! I heard that Chen Jian is going on a blind date tomorrow. What do you think I should do?"
Yan Yuan's situation is a common occurrence for her.
Zhang Ling used to be a devout listener.
Wait for Yan Yuan to finish pouring out all the anguish in his heart.
Then eating and drinking together will instantly make Yan Yuan feel like normal.
She felt tired due to physical discomfort and said with a hint of perfunctory emotion:
"It doesn't matter, don't you often say..."
Maybe it’s because my lazy brain filtered out the key words in Yan Yuan’s words.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her dull brain suddenly became clearer. She was so excited that she quickly grabbed the other person's shoulders and asked:
"Wait a minute, who is the man you just talked about?"
"Chen Jian!" The drunken Yan Yun said calmly.
Zhang Ling was a little surprised. She had never heard of when Yan Yuan established a relationship with Chen Jian.
She couldn't believe her ears and asked again to confirm:
"who?"
Only then did Yan Yuan realize that she didn't seem to have told Zhang Ling about this.
He used a smile to cover up the slight nervousness in his heart, deliberately leaned on Zhang Ling, leaned into his ear, and whispered to her with a bit of shyness in his tone:
"You heard it right, it's Li Xiang's friend Chen Jian!"
"Are you serious? Let me tell you, Chen Jian is..."
She tried to explain Chen Jian's views on marriage to Yan Yuan, but she also knew that if she said this, Yan Yuan would probably feel that she was unwilling to send blessings.
During the hesitation, Yan Yuan did not wait for her next words and continued to say to her seriously:
"Zhang Ling, I've thought about it. Since you have chosen Li Xiang to be Xiaodouzi's father, as a good friend, I don't want to be a stumbling block in your search for happiness."
Zhang Ling was a little surprised and said:
"What! Where is this going? Yan Yuan..."
She wanted to persuade Yan Yuan not to ruin her life's happiness because of this.
What's more, in her opinion, Chen Jian is really not a good match for Yan Yuan.
This view was also derived because Chen Jian's previous actions were always directed at her.
She couldn't bear to see Yan Yuan wasting her feelings, so she decided to tell Chen Jian's views on marriage this time.
"Shh!"
Yan Yuan didn't know that her father was not at home yet, so she was wary of being overheard by her father, so she looked around to make sure there was no one there.
Zhang Ling knew in her heart that she might lose the chance because of her hesitation.
She understood Yan Yuan's intention and explained:
"Don't worry, my dad is not at home. He went to see my mom again like every year."
After listening to Zhang Ling's words, Yan Yuan showed some respect for her father on her face, but she did not say anything like she did in previous years about wanting to find a boyfriend like her father.
And he continued what he said before and said seriously:
"So I decided to pursue that useless pretty boy Chen Jian for you."
The reason why Yan Yuan said this about Chen Jian was because she and Chen Jian fought twice, and Chen Jian was willing to let her fight without moving.
Yan Yuan likes Chen Jian very much, which makes her feel that he is a bit like Zhang Ling's father.
So when she called Chen Jian "useless", Yan Yuan's face was actually filled with a happy smile.
Because she understands that it is not easy to find a man who is willing to be bullied by women.
Now that she has met her, Yan Yuan must cherish her.
Although Yan Yuan was talking drunkenly now, Zhang Ling understood that these were Yan Yuan's sincere words.
"When did you get together? Well, you didn't even tell me." Zhang Ling said pretending to be unhappy.
Yan Yuan pushed Zhang Ling away as if he was electrocuted, and said with a frustrated look:
"We've never really been together at all. I gave him a confession gift, but I don't know if he saw it."
"No wonder you had to give Chen Jian an apology gift. That's it!" She nodded and understood instantly.
After hearing this, Zhang Ling realized that Yan Yuan had previously wanted to send a love letter by giving a gift.
However, she was happy that she still had the opportunity to tell Yan Yuan Chen Jian's views on marriage.
"Oh, don't interrupt. Just listen to what I have to say first."
She saw a somewhat shy look on Yan Yuan's face, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
Because when Yan Yuan was in school, he said that he disliked women who sent love letters the most.
I think women who send love letters to men are stupid!
Unexpectedly, Yan Yuan would become such a fool now.
According to Yan Yuan's words, it was for Zhang Ling that she was willing to be this fool.
So, Zhang Ling looked at Yan Yuan with a hint of happiness in her smile.
"Okay, okay, keep talking."
Yan Yuan heard Zhang Ling's reply and continued:
"As you know, our unit is having a team building tonight. I heard that Chen Jian is going on a blind date tomorrow. I thought I heard it wrong, or that I met someone with the same name."
"Oh, what's the result?" Zhang Ling said, trying her best to open her tired eyelids.
"After hearing the relevant identity information from the other party, I was sure that it was Li Xiang's good friend. The most disgusting thing is that the blind date was actually the daughter of Master Miejie who had just returned from abroad."
Yan Yuan and Miejieshi don't deal with each other in peacetime.
During the team building tonight, I heard from Master Miejie’s words about showing off her daughter to everyone.
When he showed off that his blind date was Chen Jian, Yan Yuan's sensitive nerves were bound to be stimulated.
That's why I cried uncontrollably when I entered the door.
Perhaps because she caught a cold, Zhang Ling suddenly felt even more dizzy.
She just wanted to lie down on her own bed as soon as possible.
She said nothing, grabbed Yan Yuan's wrist, yawned, and dragged him towards her bedroom.
Yan Yuan seemed to understand Zhang Ling's intention, and kept talking about it, how did Master Jue praise her daughter for being sensible and well-behaved?
He also said that if Chen Jian saw her daughter, he would fall in love with her to death.
He even expressed his disdain for Chen Jian, his son-in-law.
If it weren't for the fact that she was a good friend with Chen Jian's mother, Master Miejie would not have agreed to their blind date.
…
Yan Yuan seemed to have subconsciously regarded Chen Jian as her boyfriend.
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to find a job after leaving the unit, Yan Yuan expressed that she really wanted to have a fight with Master Jue on the spot.
Zhang Ling, who was lying on the bed, listened to Yan Yuan's complaints and babble, and uttered "um", "oh" and other words from time to time to show that she was listening.
She was thinking about confessing Chen Jian's views on marriage to Yan Yuan, but because her brain was lazy due to a cold, she could only think about it at this time.
Less than ten minutes passed.
At this time, Yan Yuan desperately wanted to get Zhang Ling's approval, confirming that she, Yan Yuan, would be a good wife and mother in the future.
I couldn't hear any reaction from Zhang Ling for a long time.
Yan Yuan eagerly turned around and saw that Zhang Ling was already asleep.
At first I wanted to shake him awake because I felt unhappy.
The unusually red cheeks made Yan Yuan feel unusual.
I reached out and touched Zhang Ling's hot forehead, and it felt like two poached eggs could have been fried.
Yan Yuan shook her body without hesitation and shouted:
"Hey, Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling, wake up quickly!"
After hearing this, Zhang Ling reluctantly opened her eyes and glanced at Yan Yuan, and said as if a little girl was acting coquettishly to her mother:
"Oh, don't make trouble! I'm really sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
Yan Yuan has not yet finished explaining the real reason for waking her up.
Zhang Ling fell asleep again.
Yan Yuan judged from this that Zhang Ling's illness was not serious and she should take some cold medicine to get better.
Anxious Yan Yuan quickly got up and looked for Zhang Ling's medicine box.
It was just a coincidence that the medicine box only contained some iodine and bandages, but not the cold medicine Yan Yuan was looking for.
So when Yan Yuan was about to go out to buy medicine, something suddenly occurred to him.
That is to leave the matter of buying medicine to Li Xiang.
It can be regarded as creating an opportunity for Li Xiang and Zhang Ling to warm up their relationship.
It can be said that the nutritional supplements Li Xiang gave me were not wasted.
Li Xiang received Yan Yuan's call before he had time to tell Chen Jian how to deal with tomorrow's blind date?
Amid Chen Jian's complaints, he hurried to Zhang Ling's house.
While Yan Yuan was waiting for Li Xiang to arrive, she overheard Zhang Ling talking nonsense because of her high fever.
"Qi Diao Zhe, Qi Diao Zhe..."
Before Li Xiang came, Zhang Ling had already called this name thirty-six times in a daze.
Among them, he shouted ten times with a smile, six times in an angry tone, and twenty times with an obvious cry.
Obviously, Qi Diaozhe has a sad existence in Zhang Ling's heart.
Isn’t it that Yan Yuan can’t figure out why Zhang Ling still misses this man?
But I am worried about how I will explain this name when I hear it after Li Xiang delivers the medicine.
This name sounds like a man.
I wonder which man can tolerate his love calling another man's name all the time in a coma?
Thinking of this, Yan Yuan decided to call Li Xiang to inform him that he didn't want to come.
Before he could press the dial button on the phone, Yan Yuan seemed to have done something wrong. He was frightened by the rapid knock on the door and pressed the dial button with trembling fingers.
Yan Yuan felt that Li Xiang shouldn't have come so quickly at this moment. He was probably the rude delivery boy who went to the wrong floor and knocked on the door.
With anger brewing in his heart, he held his cell phone in his hand and looked like he was going to fight with the delivery man he thought he was. He rushed out of the bedroom door and pushed open the security door that was knocked.
Li Xiang lowered his head and glanced at his phone, then looked at Yan Yuan with some confusion and asked:
"Why are you calling? Zhang Ling's condition is serious! No, I think it's better to carry her directly to the hospital."
Before Yan Yuan had time to explain, a worried Li Xiang burst in through the door and headed straight for Zhang Ling's bedroom.
Looking at Li Xiang passing by, Yan Yuan was a little stunned and couldn't believe that he came so quickly.
They all somewhat suspected that Li Xiang came in a rocket.
Suddenly, I remembered Zhang Ling's gibbering from time to time.
Yan Yuan nervously grabbed a seat and blocked Zhang Ling's doorway and yelled:
"Hey, wait a minute! How can you, a grown man, break into a girl's bedroom?"
"This..." An anxious Li Xiang looked at Yan Yuan who was blocking the door, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Yan Yuan snatched the medicine from Li Xiang's hand and said with a smile:
"It's easy. I'll go in for you and feed her medicine. Just wait for me at the door."
Feelings: He came all the way here just to deliver medicine?
He was worried and doubtful as he said with obvious reluctance:
"Can you do it alone?"
Yan Yuan is most disgusted by people doubting her abilities.
There was a slamming sound on the door.
Li Xiang did not wait for an answer, but instead saw Yan Yuan closing the door angrily.
He looked at the door and whispered:
"It seems I didn't say anything wrong. Is she experiencing early menopause? Well, it must be."
Li Xiang then had time to carefully observe the floor of the room. There were obvious signs of being soaked in water. He also guessed that the faucet on the sink was leaking.
When he came to the kitchen and got confirmation, he suspected that Zhang Ling just caught a cold, so he decided to make a bowl of ginger soup for Zhang Ling.
Yan Yuan planned to fetch a basin of water to physically cool down Zhang Ling, but met Li Xiang who was changing the faucet of the sink.
With a face full of joy and a bit of surprise, he glanced at the pot of ginger soup and said:
"Oh my God, it turns out that Mr. Li can also make ginger soup and change the faucet! I really envy Zhang Ling for finding such a considerate and good man."
Li Xiang just looked at Yan Yuan and smiled awkwardly.
"I know you really want to go in and see Zhang Ling sleeping soundly." When Yan Yuan said this, she saw Li Xiang's eyes full of expectation, "No, you probably want to go in and see if Zhang Ling's condition has improved.
