Chapter 77：

Lin Zheng bought some delicious food, and when he came back from bouncing around, Qin Youheng had already left, only Gu Nanzhi was leaning on the bedside to watch TV just like when she left.

From the dense bullet screen, it can be seen that the plot is very exciting, but Gu Nanzhi didn't see a single scene, and Qin Youheng's last words were still replaying in his mind from time to time.

Seeing Lin Zheng coming back, Gu Nanzhi turned off the tablet, and silently watched her busy at the small dining table.

"Zheng'er, can I ask you a question?" Gu Nanzhi asked thoughtfully.

Lin Zheng took the time to raise her eyes, feeling that she was acting strange, "Ask me casually, you are not someone else."

Lin Zheng's attitude was too calm, and Gu Nanzhi was infected by her, and the depression accumulated in his heart because of Qin Youheng's words suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't ask those sensitive and hypocritical questions, so he said instead: "Didn't you say you would speak on the phone yesterday?" Do you have a birthday present ready for my return?"

"Ah? This." Lin Zheng rubbed his hands together and ran to pick up the lunch box.

Gu Nanzhi pulled back the quilt, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and looked at her, "Are you not ready, or are you repenting?"

With her back turned to her, Lin Zheng muttered, "I haven't regretted it."

"Well, will you still read it?" Gu Nanzhi asked, staring at Lin Zheng's ear for a moment. Is there something shady in the email? Why are the little girl's ears red?

Gu Nanzhi pursed his dry lips, stretched out his hand, and touched the tip of Lin Zheng's ear with his cool fingertips, "Zheng'er, your ears are red."

Lin Zheng stood up with the bowl in his hand, stuffed a piece of vegetable dish into Gu Nanzhi's mouth without changing his face, and said fiercely: "Eat as you eat, there are so many words."

Gu Nanzhi covered her smile, she put the dish on one side, regardless of any dining etiquette, and asked vaguely: "Do you want to read it?"

"Oh, you're so annoying!" Lin Zheng was so annoyed that he pinched Gu Nanzhi's propped up cheek, "Here! I'll give it as soon as twelve o'clock!"

Satisfied, Gu Nanzhi patted her hand and said, "Let go."

Lin Zheng hissed, feeling inexplicably desolate as if she was killing a donkey.

"I haven't seen you prepare it before, I thought you were just asking." Gu Nanzhi said while chewing, looking at the rice that Lin Zheng had just picked up.

Lin Zheng brought the rice to Gu Nanzhi's mouth, and put away the chopsticks when she saw her bite into her mouth steadily, recalling, "I've been preparing for five years, so I don't need to sharpen my guns before the battle."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Gu Nanzhi felt that the sweet rice grains suddenly changed its taste a second ago. She pushed the food stuck in her throat and said with a smile: "I feel more and more that I am not good enough for you. gone."

"Good enough." Lin Zheng hooked one foot over the stool and sat down, carefully selecting a few good-looking ones from the vegetable box. She is a little in love with feeding Gu Nanzhi at the moment, and even her words are extraordinarily sweet , "Who would like people who treat themselves badly? I'm not stupid."

Gu Nanzhi smiled and said nothing, she only saw good for a short semester, it was really shabby.

"By the way, when we got in touch, did Qiqi and the others report their safety?" Gu Nanzhi thought suddenly.

"Yes." Lin Zheng put down the rice, and brought a big mouthful of vegetables to Gu Nanzhi's mouth. Seeing her refusal, he deliberately moved forward.

Gu Nanzhi couldn't be provoked, so he ate it resignedly, but there were too many frustrations, it was really hard to chew, and this dish was really unpalatable.

Seeing her obediently eating food, Lin Zheng was willing to make up the rest of the words, "We can't go back now. Teacher Chang told us to show up in a week. She wants to arrange to leave with Sister Chu during this time, probably because she is afraid that we will have no intention of going back." Let me tell you what I missed. Don't worry, I've already taken care of it when it should be properly arranged. "

"Well, that's good." Gu Nanzhi had too much food in his mouth, so he could only make this short single sound, low and low, as if pushed out from his chest bit by bit, very calm.

Sure enough, everything was thoughtful again. As long as Lin Zheng is here, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

This feeling is not good.

Lin Zheng stared at Gu Nanzhi's face, always feeling that she had become different after this sudden incident.

Lin Zheng couldn't tell exactly what was different, but she just felt that she was no longer as confident and dazzling as before, and her 'light' seemed to be trapped by something.

——

After Gu Nanzhi was full, Lin Zheng took a few mouthfuls of her leftovers, then picked up the lunch box and said, "I'm going to wash the dishes, I'll be back soon."

Gu Nanzhi nodded, didn't talk much, and didn't tell her to walk well and pay attention as before, as if she was no longer going to care about her in every detail.

This made Lin Zheng's doubts deeper, so that she frequently lost her mind when washing the dishes, and she didn't feel when her fingers were cut. She didn't shake her hand slowly until the mobile phone in her pocket vibrated. .

It was a WeChat message from Shiqi, a picture, nothing could be seen from the message notification.

Based on Lin Zheng's understanding of her, it is probably the small talk at the beginning of the emoji.

Lin Zheng still had water in his hands, and his fingerprints couldn't unlock it. It just so happened that he was also very upset at the moment, so he put the phone back in his pocket and planned to return later.

After waiting, the nurse came to make rounds at night and asked her to get some hot water for Gu Nanzhi to scrub.

Lin Zheng got the order and ran non-stop to fetch the water.

The water room is not far away, three minutes to go back and forth is more than enough.

When Lin Zheng came back with the water, the nurse hadn't left yet, saying that she was leaving get off work and was waiting for someone to pick her up, so she happened to be free to chat with Gu Nanzhi for a while.

One of the two is a teacher and the other is a parent. The topic they get together is learning that Lin Zheng doesn't like very much.

She didn't want to go in and be asked questions, so she put the water aside and leaned against the wall to play with her phone.

Shiqi's WeChat has not been answered yet, and now is just an opportunity.

The picture sent by Shi Qi is a screenshot of a WeChat chat record, it belongs to Gu Nanzhi and Xu Zhi. In the screenshot, Gu Nanzhi is mostly talking, and Xu Zhi only has one sentence, [Burn confused? 】

Lin Zheng looked at Gu Nanzhi's message sentence by sentence, reading slowly.

[Is there a moment when you feel that you are suddenly old? 】

[not physically old]

【that is】

【She starts to be everything, and you become nothing. 】

【…】

Useless... Lin Zheng suddenly had an answer to the question that had been lingering in his heart all night.

——

"Is that little girl who went to fetch water your student?" In the ward, the nurse asked gossipingly.

Gu Nanzhi seemed to have just drank water, his voice was abnormally soft, "No."

"It's your girlfriend." It was Lin Zheng who said this. She opened the door with her elbow, turned half a circle around and came in, holding water in both hands, and said as she walked, "Nurse sister, we don't have that much relationship. Reserved, right?" Lin Zheng said as he bent down, leaned towards Gu Nanzhi and pouted, the latter understood and skillfully touched his lips, the movements were very clean, and then met Lin Zheng's eyes, and all the words were melted into it. smiled.

This is the tacit understanding that only exists between lovers. As a bystander, the nurse felt that she was forcibly fed a handful of dog food, "Excuse me." She stood up and said with a smile on her face.

Lin Zheng was happy and at ease, "Sister, walk slowly, it's hard work."

Lin Zheng sent people out respectfully. As soon as the door was closed, her smiling face immediately changed, "This sister is too bad at talking, and she's still a student? I'm already at the legal age of marriage. What kind of eyes are there?"

Gu Nanzhi bent one leg, put his hands on his knees and pressed his chin, and stared at Lin Zheng seriously.

After a while, he uttered three words softly, "Good eyes."

"..." Lin Zheng was speechless, Zhizhi's elbow was bent outwards, it was almost folded outside.

Forget it, I don't care about her because she is sick and speaks very nicely.

Lin Zheng thought to himself, then came over with the toiletries, squatted beside the bed and twisted a hot towel for Gu Nanzhi.

Gu Nanzhi looked down at her, his eyes moving very slowly, "I've seen you dressed in many ways. You are capable when you are defending a project, you are exquisite when you are a host, and you are ordinary in class, with loose clothes and hair. Aiza, especially in the first and second classes in the morning, when you lower your head, no one can see that you are secretly sleeping."

What Gu Nanzhi said was Lin Zheng when she was in college. She didn't ask why, but she could figure out why Gu Nanzhi knew.

It's nothing more than just like the college entrance examination, squeezing the busy time, just to see her in the past.

Lin Zheng endured the sourness in her heart, and asked her with a smile, "Out of professional instinct, do you really want to go to the teacher and report me?"

"Hmm..." Gu Nanzhi shook his head, "I always wonder if this kid stayed up late watching TV again?"

"No." Lin Zheng stood up, brushed Gu Nanzhi's hair back to help her wipe her face, "I've been addicted to TV since I was a child."

Gu Nanzhi raised her head, the warm towel gently slid across her eyebrows, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

She has never been taken care of like this before, especially since this is a little girl who is so many years younger than her.

The towel fell to the tip of his nose, Gu Nanzhi opened his eyes, and met Lin Zheng's gaze.

Now Lin Zheng doesn't have the immaturity of the first acquaintance, but his eyes are still pure. When he senses her gaze and slowly looks over, his eyes will light up.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Zheng supported Gu Nanzhi's chin, and wiped the towel from his chin to his neck.

It wasn't that she didn't have concentration, it was because the neckline of the hospital gown was too big, she could see Gu Nanzhi's chest without any restraint if she was not paying attention.

It's still so pretty, when you touch it, "cough." Lin Zheng coughed in a disguised way, and wiped harder.

Gu Nanzhi felt itchy, so he held back and didn't move. His whole body would look a little tense, similar to when he was nervous...or excited.

Lin Zheng was afraid that he would inadvertently do something "better than a beast" to Gu Nanzhi who was still sick, so he hurriedly turned his eyes away and said, "I'm going to change the water in the basin, you wait."

Gu Nanzhi held Lin Zheng's wrist, and slowly said under her puzzled eyes, "I've seen you so many times, every time I see something different, I still subconsciously compare it with you in school uniform."

"and then?"

"It's all good, the first one is always the best." Very clear nostalgia, maybe, is also the lack of confidence and disappointment in the current self, feeling that I am finally no longer 'needed' in this relationship.

Lin Zheng didn't answer, she also felt that what started was the best, otherwise she wouldn't have felt inferior to her after so many years, but this couldn't be the reason for Gu Nanzhi to suspect that she was 'worthless'.

Lin Zheng grabbed Gu Nanzhi's wrist with his backhand and pinched it, and said in a brisk tone: "Gu Zhizhi, do you know how to count the heavenly stems and earthly branches?"

The topic changed suddenly, Gu Nanzhi subconsciously nodded, "Yes."

"Can you memorize the Chinese History System?"

"meeting."

"Do you know how to pronounce the two 'stays'?"

"Know."

"Yes, you know everything." Lin Zheng smiled brightly, "I am confused about what you understand, and I need you to teach me. At first, I chased after your back, and then stepped on your steps. Nothing can change the fact that you already exist are the direction that makes me strong and excellent. As long as you stand there, I will never go wrong. If one day you feel that "teaching me" becomes powerless , then, that day must be your happiest day."

"Why?" Shouldn't you be disappointed?

Lin Zheng tilted her head and said to her, "Because, I finally caught up with you."
