Chen Zui looked at Liang Yuwei’s eyebrows. He was as generous and sincere as before.
Maybe she should be more calm.
She looked at him without hesitation, and the next second, she was overwhelmed by his question.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Liang Yuwei glanced at the necklace with a vague look, picked up the paper cup at hand, looked away, and took a sip as if nothing had happened.
The necklace he hadn't taken off for years puzzled him.
He clearly remembered the scene when Jiang Siyao gave this necklace to her.
Among the many school rules of No. 1 Middle School back then, one was not allowed to wear any jewelry in school.
Chen Zui always wears them secretly. During a grooming inspection, the grade director confiscated the necklace. She, who had always been taciturn, went to the grade director to ask for it.
This question was the most unexpected for Chen, but there was nothing to hide. She was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "No."
Liang Yuwei paused when he heard those two words, and smiled: "I'm not checking the household registration, I'm just asking."
Chen Zui twitched the corner of his mouth.
She felt that Liang Yuwei didn't care. At most, he was asking for help from some troublesome old classmate.
She didn't answer and asked lightly: "Do you allow pets here?"
Liang Yuwei felt strange, but still replied: "It's not allowed indoors. There is an area for pets in the open-air block, so they are allowed."
Chen Zui He raised his chin toward the door and said, "Someone violated the rules."
A middle-aged man was placing an order at the ordering counter.
Not far from him, two big dogs squatted, a border collie and a husky. There was a four or five-year-old child next to the two dogs. He was playing a handshake game with the dogs and coughed from time to time.
Chen Zui just saw that the middle-aged man skillfully tied the dog leash to the back of the chair at the door and went to order by himself.
Liang Yuwei frowned slightly and said to Chen Zui, "Wait a moment."
After that, he stood up.
Chen was most worried about the child getting hurt, so he stood up and reminded the mother who had been scrolling through her phone to watch her child.
The young mother looked up, panicked for a moment, and quickly took the child back.
When she thanked Chen Zui, the middle-aged man at the ordering counter shouted dissatisfied: "I come here often, why can't I bring my dog in today?"
They have to deal with emergencies of all sizes every day, such as Customers were scratched by mall tiles, mall decorations were stolen, and vendors came in to sell fakes... including the situation in front of them.
Liang Yuwei repeated the mall rules to the middle-aged man expressionlessly. The sound is not loud, but the aura is sufficient.
The middle-aged man kept saying that his dog was very good, but he did not dare to look directly into Liang Yuwei's sharp eyes, so he took the dog and left cursing.
Liang Yuwei turned his questioning eyes to the clerk, who said nervously: "We reminded him, but he does this every time he comes..."
Liang Yuwei sat back opposite Chen Zui and made two calls in succession, one to the property manager. and the operations manager, tell them to go to the conference room now.
Chen's most vague impression of Liang Yuwei was still in high school. She had never seen him look so serious.
She was lost in thought when suddenly, a heartbreaking cry sounded from behind her.
For a moment, everyone in the cafe looked at the same place.
The little boy just now was leaning weakly in his mother's arms, coughing violently. His face was red from holding back, and he seemed out of breath.
The young mother held her child in one hand and frantically rummaged through the bag with the other hand, muttering: "Medicine, medicine..."
Finally, she simply turned the bag over and took out everything inside. Pour it out. In her rush, she knocked over the coffee on the table again, creating a mess.
Chen's back felt numb at the end, as if he was familiar with this scene.
She rushed over and asked the young mother, "Does the child have asthma?"
The young mother, with disheveled hair and tears on her face, nodded absently.
"It's dog hair, it's dog hair! He's allergic..." The young mother almost collapsed.
Whether it is related to dog hair is impossible to verify now.
It's important to save people.
"What medicine do you usually use?"
"That man came in with his dog just now..."
"What medicine do you usually use?" Chen Zu tried his best to calm down and asked again.
"Inhalation type, red and white, oval..." the young mother described incoherently.
She seemed to have forgotten to bring her medicine and was still looking for it in a pile of wet clutter.
Chen Zui glanced back.
Liang Yuwei was on the phone. When he met her eyes, he seemed to understand immediately and asked her what she needed.
"Bag."
Liang Yuwei didn't know what she was going to do, so he handed it to her quickly.
She took out a small medicine bottle from her bag and threw it back into his arms.
Liang Yuwei caught the bag accurately and reminded her not to act rashly. He had already called the emergency center and the ambulance would arrive soon.
Chen Zui nodded and brought the medicine to the mother: "Is it this kind?"
Liang Yuwei's eyes narrowed.
The young mother was stunned, and then she said as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes -"
"Hold him well." Chen Zui said, "Let him open his mouth and bite this."
Liang Yuwei came over to help move it. Open the table to facilitate inhaling medicine for children.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, his deep voice was like reassurance: "The emergency lane has been reserved, and the ambulance will drive directly to the door in a moment."
The movement in the cafe alarmed many people, many customers were watching, and in the work group They are also in emergency dispatch.
Chen gave him the most grateful look.
Five minutes seemed like a century.
When the little boy's symptoms finally eased and the ambulance arrived, Chen Zui's fear gradually subsided.
The ambulance drove away, and the place finally returned to peace.
Only messy tables and chairs were left, and a group of people watching the fun.
Chen fell back into the chair weakly, his cheeks pale and a layer of sweat forming on his forehead.
Liang Yuwei's cell phone was about to be blown up.
But he had no time to care at the moment, he had too many questions to ask her. Why did she carry asthma medicine with her? Is her health in good condition...
Chen Zui stood up feebly and packed his computer bag: "I'm going back..."
-
After walking out of the cafe, Chen Zui made a phone call: " I want to see the stars."
The full name of the stars is Chen Jiaxing. She is Chen's half-sister and is seven years old this year.
After their parents divorced, they each formed a new family and each had children.
It is said that when a star is born, its eyes are as bright as the stars in the night sky.
Chen Zui never asked Chen Shengping about the origin of her name.
Xingxing was a little different from other children. He was born with a disability. The fingers of his right hand were curled up and could not be straightened. When he was five months old, he was diagnosed with asthma.
In the past few years, Chen Shengping took Xingxing everywhere to seek medical treatment, spending almost all his savings, but with little effect.
In the evening, Chen Zui appeared outside his father's community carrying a large paper bag.
Chen Shengping's family of three lives in an old community built in the 1990s.
She walked downstairs, and a fluffy little head stuck out from the window on the second floor. She called out grandly: "Sister!"
Chen raised his head, met the bright eyes of the stars, and shook his hand. paper bag.
"Chen Zui is here." Aunt Wu opened the door in advance and leaned forward to let Chen Zui in.
Chen Zui actually rarely comes.
When Chen Shengping and Aunt Wu got married, she was still in college and needed living expenses from Chen Shengping.
At that time, Xingxing was just born, and sometimes Chen Shengping was not around. When Chen Zui came to the house, Aunt Wu would make sarcastic remarks.
Perhaps she was dissatisfied with the fact that she always came to disrupt their lives, or perhaps she was complaining that God was unfair. Why was she, Chen Shengping's first child, healthy, while their daughter was disabled? Aunt Wu's attitude towards Chen Zui was not good. .
Until one time when Xingxing had an asthma attack and Chen Shengping was on a business trip, and Aunt Wu couldn't drive, Chen Zui drove Chen Shengping's car to take Xingxing to the hospital.
Critical moments like the one in the cafe have happened to Xingxing several times, and Chen Zui was present in both of them.
She could never forget Aunt Wu's collapse and helplessness, and she no longer cared about her past attitude.
Since then, Aunt Wu's attitude towards Chen Zui has softened.
Chen is most accustomed to living alone. Although she does not participate in her father's new family, she feels sorry for Xingxing. For the sake of the stars, she occasionally comes over for a meal and always carries her asthma medicine with her.
Fortunately, apart from the physical inconvenience, Xingxing has grown into a smart and cute little girl and successfully entered elementary school.
Chen Zui handed the paper bag to Aunt Wu.
"You spoil her too much." Aunt Wu took the paper bag from her hand, which contained Xingxing's favorite doll. "She has been talking about you since school..."
"How is Xingxing doing lately?"
Aunt Wu nodded: "It's good. I ranked sixteenth in the class in the midterm exam."
"Are you feeling well?"
Aunt Wu replied: "There were signs of an attack some time ago, but fortunately it was just rhinitis, not too serious."
Chen was most assured Coming down: "It's okay."
Xingxing hugged Chen Zui's leg with a mysterious expression: "Sister, come here, I have something to tell you."
Aunt Wu pretended to be angry: "Don't ask for gifts or snacks from your sister."
Experience at noon A thrilling scene, Chen couldn't help but think of the stars again.
Now she will agree to any request Xingxing makes.
Xingxing blinked: "Mom, you are not allowed to brainwash your sister."
I don't know where she learned the new vocabulary, which made several adults laugh.
In the past, Xingxing was the bad blood between Chen Zui and this family, but now it is more like a glue.
Bloodline is really a magical thing.
Chen Zui squatted down, Xingxing put his hands by her ears, and the hot breath tickled her.
"Sister, I want to..."
"Whatever you want, tell your sister."
"It's not that..." The little guy became shy.
"Then tell me quietly."
Xingxing pulled Chen Zui into the room before saying, "Sister, I want to put on your lipstick."
Chen Zui smiled, and it turned out that he was thinking about this.
"Why do you want to wear lipstick?"
"Lipstick will make you beautiful."
"You are pretty enough." Chen Zui touched Xingxing's face.
"I want to be as beautiful as my sister." Xingxing has learned how to talk to please people, "My sister is the most beautiful."
Chen Zui thought for a while and agreed to her: "However, I can only apply it once, and then put it on during dinner. Wipe it off, okay?"
Xingxing nodded excitedly and nervously.
Chen Zui got up and went to find his small bag.
She took two bags with her when she went out, one for her computer and the other for gadgets such as lipstick keys.
Now, she only has her computer bag on hand, and the other bag is missing.
Looking back on her memory, she remembered that in the rush at noon, she seemed to have stuffed the bag directly into Liang Yuwei's arms.
Later, she left in a hurry, not only leaving her bag there, but she didn't even say thank you or goodbye to Liang Yuwei.
They cooperated very well at that time...but she completely ignored this person.
Feeling guilty after realizing it, Chen Zui took out the note from his notepad and searched for Liang Yuwei's WeChat account.
After the other party's personal information was displayed, she realized that the profile picture seemed familiar.
It's over. She just deleted this person yesterday.
