When I got off work in the evening, it suddenly started to rain lightly. I drove Zhang Wei to the gate of the community.
She unbuckled her seat belt, but did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, she turned sideways and looked at me.
I can almost foresee everything that may happen next, and it cannot be stopped by a cup of tea.
I responded calmly: "Next time, I have to attend the rider meeting tomorrow morning, there are a lot of things."
Zhang Wei looked at me for a few seconds, then opened the car door: "Okay, drive carefully. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." I watched her figure walk into the community gate.
Until Zhang Wei's figure completely disappeared behind the unit door, I did not leave immediately.
A corner of my heart was stirred, and I hadn’t seen Huang Li for several days.
It’s time to go see her and check her health.
I walked to the building where Huang Li lived by a familiar route. The elevator went up and stopped at a familiar floor.
Pressed the doorbell, and during the few seconds of waiting, various possible expressions of Huang Li flashed through my mind.
However, when the door opened, standing behind it was Han Mengyao with a ponytail and wearing home clothes.
She was a little surprised when she saw me: "Brother Chen Hao? Why is it you?"
I picked up the bag of oranges in my hand and said, "I'll bring some fruit to Teacher Huang, just to run some errands."
At this moment, Huang Li's voice came from inside: "Mengyao, who is it?"
Then, she walked to the door, and when she saw me, her eyes were also surprised, but she quickly returned to normal.
She said to Han Mengyao very naturally: "The takeaway I ordered has arrived."
Huang Li then looked at me: "Come in, Mr. Takeaway, your order is a bit late."
I followed Huang Li into the living room and sat down on the sofa casually.
Han Mengyao came over with a glass of water and handed it to me: "Brother Chen Hao, drink water."
I took the water glass and asked, "Why do you live with Teacher Huang?"
Han Mengyao pointed in the direction of the study: "Teacher Huang has been checking some information these days, so I might as well stay here to facilitate the discussion."
"I'm just checking that for you, information about Cynomorium Cynomorium."
I put down the water glass and looked at Huang Li: "Is there any definite news?"
Huang Li He sat down next to me and sighed softly: "This thing is even less popular than I thought. I asked several friends in the medical field to inquire about it, and also checked a lot of ancient books and databases."
"There is no very accurate source of information yet. I only know that this thing may have grown in some extremely arid mountains in the northwest in the early years, but now it is almost extinct."
"However, the scope has indeed been narrowed a lot. At least a few areas where this thing is most likely to have appeared have been identified, and a lot of erroneous information has been eliminated. Give me some more time, and I should be able to get more specific clues."
Han Mengyao added on the side: "Huang The teacher hasn't had much rest these past few days for this."
I feel a little sorry, "Thank you, Teacher Huang."
"Don't worry, I will always take your promise to heart." Huang Li quickly changed the topic.
I am also going to find a suitable time to go into the mountains to look for it myself. This is about my life.
Next, Huang Li took me into the small study room in the back, which was more like her private clinic. She closed the curtains and motioned for me to take off my shirt.
I took off my clothes, revealing my muscular upper body. Several cold electrodes were attached to my skin and connected to a monitoring device. The curve on the instrument screen beats smoothly.
Huang Li’s hands pressed several acupuncture points on my chest and abdomen: "How has your body temperature been controlled recently? Have you experienced any sudden chills or hotness?"
I felt the slight itching from the electrode pads, "It has been surprisingly stable these past few days, just like a normal person."
She looked at me carefully for a while and recorded a set of data: "It seems to be stable for the time being. But the clues about Cynomorium Cynomorium are not confirmed for a day. Your body is like a time bomb. Don't take it lightly."
Huang Li's hand still stayed on the electrode pad on my chest, and there was a slight sound of Han Mengyao rummaging for something outside the study door.
She suddenly came closer, with a hint of teasing: "Mengyao is staying here tonight, and I have to discuss the data with her later."
"It's really not convenient for me to spend time with you today."
I immediately understood the implication of her words. After all, I am a teacher, and I must maintain proper dignity in front of students.
I also lowered my voice, "We'll talk about it when it's more convenient for you."
"The data is almost recorded, so there's no problem for the time being." Huang Li said as she helped me remove the electrode pads from my body.
I was picking up a T-shirt and putting it on my head, when my vision was briefly blocked by the clothes.
Suddenly I felt a gentle touch on my cheek. It was Huang Li who took advantage of my blind spot when I was wearing clothes to kiss me secretly.
I just got my head out of the collar, before I had time to speak.
The door was pushed open, and Han Mengyao stood at the door holding a stack of documents: "Teacher Huang, I found the yearbook of vegetation distribution in the northwest."
She was halfway through her words, her eyes fell on Huang Li, who was standing up in a hurry, and then looked at me, who looked slightly unnatural.
Huang Li reacted very quickly, and immediately turned around and pretended to tidy up the instruments on the table: "Just put it on the table. I am helping Chen Hao take down the monitoring equipment."
Han Mengyao put the documents in the corner of the desk: "Then you get busy first." She said, turned around and closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, Huang Li breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost got discovered!"
After staying at Huang Li's house for a while, I left and went back.
Back to the rental house, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Su Yan leaning on the sofa in the living room, scrolling through videos.
As soon as she heard the noise, she immediately sat up straight and pointed the screen of her phone towards me, with an expression on her face as if to accuse her: "Chen Hao! Please tell me the truth! Have you ever secretly bought that kind of pre-made dishes to heat up before? Are you trying to fool me?"
I was stunned when she asked, "What is this mess?"
She jumped off the sofa, stepped over with bare feet, and pointed at a viral video on the screen.
This is the restaurant review that Zhang Wei took, and the number of likes and comments was so high, "Look! Now the whole Internet is criticizing pre-made dishes! They talk about technology and hard work, and they are all seasoning packets! You used to bring me the braised pork rice from that restaurant, and it was ready so quickly. Is this the case too?"
Only then did I realize it, and I was a bit dumbfounded: "What are you thinking! The store I brought you was a mom-and-pop shop, and you could see the flames of the owner's spoon. It's not the same as this kind of Internet celebrity store."
She looked at me doubtfully: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"
"Why did you lie to you?" I walked around her and went to the kitchen refrigerator to get a beer.
Su Yan followed over: "Anyway, be careful when you bring me food in the future! I know now that you have to be careful if you bring food too fast! The whole Internet is discussing this now."
