Pick it up and take care of it [Rebirth]

Chapter 23

?? Zhang Jixiu put down his chopsticks, with a polite and sincere smile on his face: "Good afternoon, Dr. Xu, I will remember this for you first."

??He was a little sorry: "Mainly my uncle is very busy at the beginning of school. If I have a chance to meet my uncle, I will ask you again. What do you think?"

?? Doctor Xu nodded quickly. As long as Zhang Jixiu was willing to help her ask, she would be very satisfied. Anyway, her son still has a year to go before the high school entrance examination.

??Her face was full of smiles, and she responded again and again: "Hey, good! Please."

The person who was eating next to her greeted her. Dr. Xu stood up holding the plate, and said with a smile, "Dr. Zhang, then I won't bother you to eat. Doctor Liu, take your time."

?? Zhang Jixiu turned his head to look at Liu Zhengru, and saw that the younger brother was picking up some vegetarian dishes, so he smiled and said, "Little brother, why do you only bring some vegetarian vegetables when you bring meals at home?"

?? There was some distress in his eyes: "Don't you like sweet and sour pork ribs? Or can senior brother get you some other dishes?"

??Liu Zhengru swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head and said, "No, thank you brother."

Seeing the obvious disbelief on Senior Brother Zhang's face, he picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs and said, "I prefer to eat vegetarian dishes, and less meat dishes are enough."

?? When Zhang Jixiu saw him pick up the ribs, the smile on his face deepened: "Then you eat first, we will talk after eating."

??Liu Zhengru looked at the senior brother with a gentle smile, hesitated for a few seconds and asked: "Senior brother, I have something to ask you, I don't know if you are willing..."

?? Zhang Jixiu looked at him with gentle eyes: "Little brother, tell me, help anyone who can."

?? "There is a kid in my family who goes to No. [-] Middle School in the city, but he took a semester off from school before." He put the sweet and sour pork ribs back, looked at Zhang Jixiu and said seriously: "I missed the time to go back to school this semester because of other things. See if you can..."

?? Zhang Jixiu responded readily: "Of course."

?? He smiled and said, "You eat this rib first, and I'll make an appointment after dinner. Don't worry."

??Liu Zhengru breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face eased a lot: "Thank you, brother."

?? Zhang Jixiu looked at the younger brother who was eating sweet and sour pork ribs in a leisurely manner, and his smile deepened. He emphasized: "Thank you brother, we are all family."

?? That day, just before getting off work, Liu Zhengru was about to close the door and leave when he saw Zhang Jixiu walking over.

?? He leaned sideways on the door frame, shook the mobile phone in his hand, and smiled at Liu Zhengru: "It's booked, it's about Saturday. After checking the schedule, we just don't go to work. Do you think you can do it?" ?”

??Liu Zhengru nodded, and closed the door of the consultation room: "It's ok, brother. If you need me in future subjects, you can just tell me, brother."

?? He remembered that his brother had a big difficulty in the later stage of his doctoral project. He had overcome it for a long time in his previous life, and even almost postponed his doctorate because of this.

?? Zhang Jixiu smiled and said, "Then I will trouble you."

"Senior brother," the two walked to the locker room together, Liu Zhengru asked indifferently: "Do you have any recommendations for the meeting ceremony on Saturday?"

?? "Meeting ceremony..." Zhang Jixiu twisted a few words in his mouth, and suggested: "Why don't I take you to pick and choose on Saturday afternoon?"

?? After thinking that he was fine on Saturday, Liu Zhengru nodded in agreement.

?? When he came home from get off work, Bai Hui was already preparing dinner.

?? During the meal, Bai Hui reported on his self-study progress, Liu Zhengru listened silently, and both of them tacitly covered up the matter of returning to school.

?? After dinner, Liu Zhengru sat on the sofa and read documents as usual.

??Bai Hui came out from the kitchen. After drying his hands, he sat opposite Dr. Liu, hesitated for a while and asked, "Doctor Liu, are you free on Saturday?"

??Liu Zhengru turned a page and said calmly: "I have something to do on Saturday."

??Bai Hui lowered his head, and replied solemnly: "Okay."

?? Hearing something wrong with his voice, Liu Zhengru looked up and asked doubtfully, "Do you have anything to do on Saturday?"

??Did he dazzle just now? Why did he feel that he saw a flash of disappointment in Bai Hui's eyes??

??

??"Um."

??Before entering the room, Bai Hui turned his head and took a look. Dr. Liu was sitting upright, with a straight back, still looking down at the document intently, as if he didn't respond to his previous hesitation.

??Bai Hui entered the door, lowered his head and closed the door lightly.

?? At the moment he closed the door, Liu Zhengru looked up.

A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, he always felt that Bai Hui had something to say to him just now...

?? It's just that on Saturday he has to go and settle the matter of Bai Hui's return to school.

?? He thought, wait for the matter to be settled before asking Bai Hui.

?? It was Saturday in the blink of an eye. Bai Hui prepared lunch for Dr. Liu and was about to go out when he saw Liu Zhengru changed and walked out of the room.

??Dr. Liu was wearing an exquisite dark blue handmade suit, which obviously exuded an aura of abstinence from top to bottom, but Bai Hui couldn't take his eyes away after just one glance.

??The shoelaces were half tied and he was left out in the cold. Bai Hui looked at Liu Zhengru in a daze.

?? Dr. Liu walked towards him step by step. The wrinkle-free suit trousers made his legs look long and straight after ironing. The expression on his face was light but could not conceal the delicacy of his face. The buttoned suit was even more prominent Shows the thinness of his waist.

??Bai Hui couldn't help thinking about the matter of putting medicinal wine on Dr. Liu's back a few days ago...

??The hot palms and the slightly cool back skin of the other party, you can see Dr. Liu's white and tender skin when you look down, and you can feel the smooth skin of the other party when you rub the medicinal wine in circles...

?? He hurriedly lowered his head, continued to tie his shoelaces, trying to divert the increasingly clear images in his mind.

??Doctor Liu lying on his body, with two delicate and small sunken waists, and a smooth and charming waistline...

?? "Bai Hui," Liu Zhengru asked, "going out today?"

??Because of the picture in his mind just now, Bai Hui felt a little guilty. He didn't dare to raise his head, but lowered his head and said, "Well, I'll go out later."

??Liu Zhengru glanced at him and said lightly, "What are you going to do? Are you nervous?"

"Huh?" Bai Hui raised his head while squatting, and said strangely, "Just go and see grandma, don't be nervous."

Pointing to Bai Hui's shoes, Liu Zhengru made a "three" with his fingers: "You tied and untied your shoelaces three times."

??Bai Hui coughed lightly to cover up the embarrassment in his heart, tied his shoelaces in a few seconds, opened the door and went out. "Doctor Liu, put breakfast in the oven to keep warm, I'm leaving first."

??Looking at the back of him running away in a hurry, Liu Zhengru went to the restaurant for dinner without knowing why.

?? After lunch, he took a break, and then drove to a shopping mall. When he walked into a coffee shop, he saw Zhang Jixiu was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

?? He sat down opposite Zhang Jixiu: "Brother, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

?? When Zhang Jixiu saw him, his eyes lit up: "It's okay, you are on time. I was the one who arrived early."

??He pushed the coffee on the table over: "I ordered it for you. I don't know if you like it."

??Liu Zhengru actually doesn't like drinking coffee very much, but today he asked his brother for help, so it's not easy to take his brother's kindness at this moment.

?? He picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Brother, when are we going to choose a meeting ceremony?"

?? Zhang Jixiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, the appointment is for dinner, shall we go after coffee?"

??"Um."

??After drinking the coffee, the two set off to choose the red wine at the original winery.

??…

??Bai Hui went to the nursing home to see grandma, and sat on the bus on the way back.

??There were not many people in the car on the weekend. He sat alone in the back row, the air conditioner above his head was blowing the wind, and the scenery whizzing by outside the car made him feel sleepy.

??Bai Hui looked out the window, thinking dazedly, what is Dr. Liu doing in such a formal dress today??

??The car stopped in front of the traffic lights. The window was facing a large private winery.

?? Bai Hui casually took a look, and saw a familiar figure flashing in front of him.

??He was sober all of a sudden, without sleepiness at all.

?? It's Dr. Liu!

??His eyes lit up, and the next second, another person came out from the curtain.

?? He slowly approached Liu Zhengru. From Bai Hui's point of view, he was almost half-close to Dr. Liu.

?? Bai Hui's eyes dimmed all of a sudden. He quickly ran to the door of the car, waiting anxiously for the car to arrive at the stop, while turning his head to look at the winery.

??Some sour and abnormal emotions were growing crazily in his heart, and he wanted to run down to see what happened.

??The green light came on, the bus started, and made a turn ahead, leaving the winery behind.

?? Bai Hui was anxious, and his face darkened again and again.

??Finally, when the car arrived at the stop, Bai Hui quickly got out of the car and ran straight back.

?? The wind whizzed past my ears, and the sky gradually darkened. The wind before the rain was cool and cool, but Baihui's forehead was dripping with sweat.

?? He ran fast, and the corners of his clothes were rattling by the wind.

??Bai Hui ran to the winery, anxious to go in and have a look, but was stopped by the waiter at the door.

?? "Hi sir, do you have an appointment letter?"

??Bai Hui propped his legs with his hands, panting silently. He looked inside, shook his head, turned and walked to the side.

??He walked around the glass on the outside of the winery, looking inside intently, trying to find Dr. Liu again.

?? But he went around twice, but saw nothing.

?? He wanted to deceive himself - it was his illusion that Dr. Gang Liu was so close to people.

?? But as soon as he was dazed, the scene was clearly displayed in his mind, preventing him from deceiving himself.

?? That profile, is Dr. Liu's brother?

??Doctor Liu dressed so formally...

?? Is it to see his senior brother?

?? Two words suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

??Doctor Liu will not be with his senior brother today...

?? Date?

??Bai Hui felt very sour in his heart, thinking that maybe he was thinking too much, but he couldn't restrain his thoughts.

??The picture of the two discussing head to head always appeared in his mind, which made him unable to think calmly.

??Bai Hui walked towards Liu Zhengru's house with his head down, the sky was getting darker, the rain began to fall, and the pedestrians around hurriedly took out umbrellas from their bags, and some hurriedly ran .

??Only he was walking alone with his head bowed, looking unusually abrupt.

??The rain was ready to go, and within a few seconds it turned into a downpour, blowing on his face with the autumn wind, and hitting Bai Hui's face with a trace of pain.

??…

?? It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening when Liu Zhengru finished seeing Uncle Zhang Jixiu, the dean of No. [-] Middle School in the city.

??The dean was very satisfied with the gift of red wine, and Zhang Jixiu said good things on the side, and Bai Hui's return to school became much smoother.

?? "Since the grades were so good before, the opportunity to return to school must be given. In this way, let him come to the school next Monday with relevant materials to find their head teacher, and go to class directly after the formalities are completed."

??The dean even dialed the phone directly in front of them to arrange the matter. Liu Zhengru was also relieved to get the affirmative answer.

?? Now Bai Hui can really start school on Monday.

?? But when the dinner was over, Zhang Jixiu walked up to Liu Zhengru calmly, and asked tentatively, "The kid you mentioned today...Bai Hui, is that the person you met in the emergency room last time?"

??Liu Zhengru did not expect Zhang Jixiu to remember this matter, he nodded: "Yeah."

??Drank a little wine with him today, so he had to call for a replacement driver.

?? Zhang Jixiu looked at Liu Zhengru's sideways figure on the phone, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

??The kid at home...is that boy?

?? Are they really friends?

?? He couldn't help doubting again in his heart, and wanted to ask the question several times, but he was still secretly pressed back.

??He adjusted his mentality, smiled gently and sent Liu Zhengru to the car, and then went back with his uncle.

?? Zhang Jixiu sat in the back row with his uncle, and his uncle suddenly said, "You don't seem to be such a helpful person."

??He knows his nephew. He has been polite and decent since he was a child, with a smiling face, and no one can tell what is on his mind.

?? Just looking at the appearance at the dinner party today, this little junior has obviously a different relationship with Zhang Jixiu.

?? Zhang Jixiu smiled, and said lightly: "Yes."

?? When Liu Zhengru walked under the building, he looked up. The house was dark and there was no light.

??He felt a little puzzled in his heart. According to usual, Bai Hui should turn on the light for him to wait for him to go back. What happened today?

??The elevator arrived at the designated floor soon. He didn't drink much, and he was in a slightly drunk state.

?? So much so that when the elevator door opened, Bai Hui actually sat down at the door before he realized it.

??He froze for a moment. Bai Hui's clothes were half dry. One leg was straight, the other was bent, and he was leaning against the wall.

?? The light from the elevator hit his face, revealing his expressionless look.

??Liu Zhengru stepped out of the elevator, fumbled to turn on the light: "Why don't you go in? Why is it raining?"

?? As soon as the words fell, a damp breath rushed towards him, enveloping him forcefully.

?? Before he could touch the switch, the elevator doors behind him closed.

??The darkness of vision made Liu Zhengru's other senses sharper.

??Bai Hui hugged himself tightly, the breath sprayed on his neck with his head down was hot and quick, and the half-dry clothes on his body pressed against him with a damp coolness.

?? Liu Zhengru's waist was tightly imprisoned by Bai Hui's hand. He raised his head slightly, and could even feel the trembling of Bai Hui's hand holding his head.

??Liu Zhengru raised and raised his empty hands, struggled between pushing them away and struggling, and finally slowly placed them on Bai Hui's back.

?? At this moment, Bai Hui stiffened unconsciously, and immediately he hugged Doctor Liu even tighter.

??Liu Zhengru patted him on the back slowly, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
