Gold Medal Mediator

???

???? That is the relaxing interval of Yun Yeman, the supervision mode in Hua Baihe's mind is not completely dead, suddenly there is no sound, and she calms down again. When he got the chance, he raised his hand and pushed Yun Yeman away from him.

???? And then a leap to the side.

???

???? When she saw the other side's eyes swept over, she had the urge to retreat.

???? When the idea came up, she couldn't help moving her feet and took a small step back.

????—No way, she had seen that look in the previous two worlds, and her body memory was too familiar.

???? When confronting, the aura is particularly important. When Hua Baihe noticed the smile in the other party's eyes, he wished he could raise a 40-meter long knife and chop himself. The shriveled foot.

???? Yun Yeman took a step in her direction and asked lightly:

???? "Are you afraid of me, miss?"

???? Hua Baihe said coldly: "Joke."

???? She said, "What do you have to be afraid of?"

????Yun Yeman stared at her quietly, her appearance reflected in her pupils, she seemed focused and sincere.

???? Hearing her words, Yun Yeman did not refute, but sighed along: "Yeah, what should I be afraid of?"

???? In the end, she even raised the corners of her lips, as if she wanted to show Hua Baihe a harmless smile.

???? But the more Hua Baihe looked at her like this, the more she felt—

???? This is probably the legendary pervert? !

???? She really wanted to squat in the corner and shiver with her head in her arms, begging this blackened heroine, the great devil, not to notice her, but the power of supervision mode did not allow her to admit defeat.

???? The system saw the development of this familiar plot and sent a lotus bud emoji:

???? "[I'm autistic.jpg]"

???? It is desperate for the host who can play an emotional line with Child of Destiny no matter what world or plot.

???? In order to avoid listening to the voice of the island voice actors on the mosaic screen later, it turned off directly.

???? And the supervision mode is clamoring again:

???? "Child of Destiny has a favorable opinion of you: 100! Warning! Warning!"

???? "Child of Destiny's favorability rating for you is: -100! Turn on the blackening mode! Please pay attention!"

???

???? Hua Baihe frowned unconsciously while staring at Yun Yeman.

???? She tried her best to block the distraction of the supervision mode noise in her mind, squinted at Yun Yeman, and said:

???? "You take advantage of me again, and I'll—"

???? Yun Yeman raised his eyebrows: "You?"

???? Hua Baihe deliberately put on an indifferent face: "I'll hit you."

???? This is a threat from the school tyrant who once dominated Yunding, are you afraid? Are you shivering? Do you dare to bend to me again?

???? Unexpectedly, Yun Yeman looked at her meaningfully and continued: "Where do you want to fight?"

???? Hua Baihe: “…”

???? Why does this sound so dirty?

???? She sucked in a breath, raised her finger and pointed at the guy on the opposite side who hadn't seen for a few years, the thickness of the skin evolved from the corner of the city wall:

???? "Yun Yeman, do you think you can do whatever you want with me when my father is not here?"

????

????Yun Yeman denied her words expressionlessly: "Wrong."

???? She said: "As early as when Mr. Yin was in high demand, I wanted to do whatever I wanted to you."

???? Hua Baihe: “…”

???? Hua Baihe: "???"

???? I take you as my daughter, you want to **** me?

???? At this moment, the noise of the supervision mode in her mind became stronger and stronger, and finally I wondered if the self-checking system had malfunctioned, and a sharp sound was issued in Hua Baihe's mind. a beep -

???? The sonic shock in her brain, plus she was choked by Yun Yeman's words and didn't know how to answer, she simply closed her eyes...

???? fainted.

????…

???? When Yun Yeman saw her face turning pale, he couldn't help but 'kick' in his heart.

???? But because Yin Zhi's health has always been good, and she usually pays attention to exercise, let alone fainting, she usually doesn't even have a cold or a fever.

???? At this moment, I found that the person fell down in front of me. Yun Yeman reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch it.

???? I was too impatient.

???? What a proud person Yin Zhi is, and has a good relationship with Yin Xiao's father and daughter since childhood. Once he knew that his father was in prison, his biggest reliance was lost, and The children around her who had been obeying her servant's family for a long time, but relying on the power at hand, put their minds on her head.

???

???? She hugged the person horizontally, walked to the door, opened the door with a little effort, and the maid outside the door ran over from the end of the corridor: "What's the matter, miss? already?"

???? Yun Yeman said without blushing: "I was stimulated by Mr. Yin's incident, and I just got back from the plane, so I didn't recover for a while."

???? Seeing her carrying Yin Zhi downstairs, paying attention to the movement of not bumping people, even Uncle Bo didn't notice anything wrong, he just had a moment of doubt, Mingming Hua Baihe performed pretty well in front of Yin Xiao before, why did he come back...?

????

????Some people will act like a spoiled child in front of the people they are close to, because they want to get more favor from the other party, but when they find out that the people close to them are in trouble, they will make a self-reliance and self-improvement. as if telling others:

???? Just take care of yourself, you see, I've been fine.

???? However, only the parties themselves understand the facts.

???? How favored Yin Zhi was in the past is the fact that the servants of the whole Yin family saw it. Now that something happened to Mr. Yin, she should feel very uncomfortable.

???? Uncle Bo thought so, and immediately called the private hospital, while Yun Yeman called for the driver and sent the person over.

????…

???? "The system is in the self-check... The self-check is correct... Scanning Child of Destiny's favorability to the host... The data is contradictory! Warning! The data is contradictory!"

???? "Mode confusion, data sending...Mode confusion—"

???? “Beep—”

???? Hua Baihe's mind was noisy, and a lot of voices came out one after another, and finally disappeared.

???? She vaguely heard the system say something gratifying:

???? "I knew this thing would crash you sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so fast..."

???? Hua Baihe thought chaotically:

???? So does this mean she doesn't have to worry about being electrocuted from now on?

???? So what are you waiting for! Get it done!

???? She thought so, she sat up from the hospital bed with a dying disease, startling the doctors and nurses who were checking next to her, and they all tried She pressed it back.

???? "Calm down! Miss Yin!"

???? "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, don't worry, nothing is going on at the moment, please lie down again, and I will help you remove the electrocardiogram instrument wire."

???? Hua Baihe was stopped by them, she almost thought she was on the operating table and did not want to give birth, and was pressed back by the doctor to prepare for surgery.

???? She looked beyond the pile of white coats and looked around for the person she was looking for—

????What about weeds?

???? Come out weed, we are officially allowed to fall in love!

???? "Dream?" The system appeared at this time, and it said: "Although the supervision mode has crashed, it is too early for you to be happy."

????

???? Hua Baihe's excitement was stunned by the system.

???? She rolled her eyes silently, fell back into the bed unhappy, and said to the surrounding doctors and nurses: "I'm fine, I just like to faint when I have nothing to do. Can you let me go back?"

???? Doctors and nurses: “…”

???? Do you rich people like to play like this now?

???? Tucao returned to Tucao, they did not find any major problems, they only attributed Hua Baihe's body to the symptoms of acclimatization just returned to China, and asked her to go back and rest more. It's best not to worry about the day, and wait until you get used to the soil and water in the country.

???? Before Hua Baihe spoke, the person who came in at the door replied in a low voice, "Okay."

???? Hearing the familiar bass, Hua Bai He Mian turned his head with a dismissive look, but rubbed his hands in his heart and thought:

???? The hospital is really a good place ho?

???? Although she tilted her head at the moment, she tried her best to **** her ears to hear what Yun Yeman, who turned over from the salted fish, had to say. I don't want to talk to you', but actually mobilize every cell in the body to pay attention to each other's every move.

???? Yun Yeman approached her bedside and found that her whole body was about to stand up, like a kitten hunched over and about to scratch her back. Warn her:

???? I'm super fierce!

???? She was amused by Hua Baihe's forced appearance, but did not show it on her face, but said to the doctor and nurse: "Trouble, I am worried about her condition. Unstable, stay here for the first time tonight."

????Hua Baihe immediately contradicted her: "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital now."

???? in an unquestioning tone.

???? The doctors didn't want to be sandwich biscuits in the middle, and the one who took the lead hurriedly said: "Since the Yin family is a major shareholder, you can live as long as you want, and of course you can leave if you want. , we will match you with a family doctor to follow up the situation at any time, please don't worry."

???? After he finished speaking, he winked at the colleagues around him, and the group quickly left the ward.

????

???? "I said, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital right now, do you hear that?" Hua Baihe narrowed his eyes and looked dangerously at the person in front of the bed.

????Yun Yeman bent down condescendingly and asked her: "I can understand this sentence as, does the lady mean that she can't wait to be in the same room with me? ?"

???? Hua Baihe spit out a word to her: "Bah."

???? She said: "Yunyecao, I don't care if you are straight steel bars or bent incense coils, but if you dare to hit me, I will immediately make you unable to take care of yourself, do you believe it? "

???? Yun Yeman laughed threateningly by her.

???? She hooked her lips and said, "Okay, miss, I'm looking forward to that day."

???? Hua Baihe raised her foot and kicked towards her knee. She didn't have any strength in that kick. She should have kicked the person in front of her back two steps, but Unexpectedly, Yun Yeman had expected her action.

???? It can be said that the other party avoided her attack very easily.

???? When standing, his legs were slightly apart, and when Hua Baihe kicked and wanted to retract it, he quickly came together, and then raised his hand and held the other who was kicked towards his face. only feet.

???? The movements of the two men paused. Hua Baihe was sitting on the bed and leaned back slightly because he had to use the strength of his feet. He was suddenly pulled down by the opponent.

???? Yun Yeman saw that she was secretly trying to pull her foot back, holding the other's hand and rubbing her snow-white ankle with her fingertips, a little bit on her lips A slightly sarcastic smile:

???? "Don't you like fair-skinned people? How can you bear to do something to my face?"

???? Yin Zhi's body has been exercised frequently, and she used to work with others, so her facial features are trained to be extra sharp, and the touch on her skin is also very sensitive.

???? So that the skin on the ankle, which is obviously a little dull, was rubbed by the thumb of the other party and it was a little itchy, as if someone had put a thorn on it. Worms, crawling along the skin and crawling.

???? So much so that she gritted her teeth unconsciously, for fear of a strange sound coming out of her mouth.

???? Only one word can be squeezed out in the end: "Go away."

???? Yun Yeman could hear her stern tone, but she was not surprised that Yin Zhi would be afraid of herself.

????A person with a bit of skill usually first comes from a reliable intuition—

???? Yin Zhi would be afraid of her, which means that this lovely Miss Yin has discovered that she is not what she used to be.

????Yun Yeman pressed her feet on the sheets, not in a hurry to do it now, but consciously said to her very intimately:

???? "You have just returned to China, and you may not be well adapted to the climate here. Let's rest for two days and calm down."

???? Hua Baihe replied expressionlessly:

???? "As long as you stay in front of me, I want to breathe fire."

???? Yun Yeman calmly reminded: "Miss, being able to move you is already my limit, please don't ask me to leave such a strong man."

???? Hua Baihe was unmoved: "It's very simple, you turn back now—"

???? "See that door, walk in steps, go out, close it, thank you."

???? Yun Yeman heard her request and stared at her for a few seconds, with a hint of anger and laughter in his eyes, and finally he slowly stood up from the bedside After recovering his body, he actually turned around and walked towards the door.

???? Hua Baihe breathed a sigh of relief—

???? Such a big beauty always swayed in front of her with such a seductive expression, she was very worried that she would not be able to control herself.

???? As a result, I heard the door of the room locked.

???? Hua Baihe froze.

???? Can the hospital door be locked from the outside?

???? She pinched her neck, turned her head slowly, slowly, and saw Yun Yeman who had just closed the door and turned around. He twitched his lips slightly.

???? Because Hua Baihe's ward is on the top floor of this hospital, after finding out that she has nothing serious, the usual nurses and doctors are staying in the office at the end of the corridor, and there is nothing else on the top floor today. VIP guests, other wards are empty, and no one will pass by in the aisle.

???? Besides, when Hua Baihe was resting, Uncle Bo was supported by her to make soup.

???? In the daytime, Yin Zhi returned to China; the location was favorable, there was only a room for two people;

???? conditions are all met.

????Yun Yeman approached her step by step, and tugged the sleeve of his shirt up again, in a casual tone:

???? "It seems that there is nothing serious about the lady. Since she is so angry, why don't I help you lower it?"

????…

???? In the silent ward, there was a ping-pong sound of things falling.

???? In the office at the end of the corridor, a faint movement was faintly heard. Several doctors who specially served these senior VIPs looked at each other and asked each other with their eyes:

????

???? Or the eldest beckoned, gathered people together, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know what the Yin family does?"

???? Someone immediately replied: "I know, I heard that there is a shareholder surnamed Yin, who used to be on the road. Terrible too!"

???? The eldest nodded, looked left and right, and whispered, "Yeah, I heard that he committed a crime in the past two years and went in. It is said that it is his daughter who just returned to China, you see how far it is now, there is no servant around, there is only one person of the same age to serve."

???? "I've seen that person before, and he seemed to be the daughter of Yin Xiao at the time."

???? The people around suddenly sighed: "The movement from there is...?"

???? "Hi, those people's family is probably just that much. When I came back and found that their family situation had changed, I couldn't accept this gap, so I could only bully the people around me." The experienced doctor said so.

???? "Then— shall we go and see?" a newcomer asked, raising his hand.

???? Then, all the colleagues around looked at him with the kind of eyes that cared for a fool, as if saying 'you go, we will collect your corpse for you in a while'.

???? He withdrew his hand sternly, "No, what if someone died?"

???? The old doctor pushed his glasses: "Let's mix things up with the rich, after all, it's 8012, and it's impossible for human life to happen, it's time to call us will ring the bell."

????

???? A low groan came from the bed.

???? There are two experienced hide-and-seek masters inside, one is inside the door, the other is outside the door, and the one outside the door is a locksmith with rich experience in unlocking. , with five door keys at hand.

???? The locksmith decides which one can match this new door one by one, so as to open the door as soon as possible and join the companions inside to explore the new world.

????However, the lock hole of the new door is not lubricated enough, and the key is not smooth when turning in. Fortunately, I quickly found the most suitable key—

???? It turns out that this is a new door that requires two keys, or three keys to open.

???? The locksmith tried countless times, inserting and pulling out the key in his hand, and finally made the key unlocking action much smoother.

???? Then the locksmith finally entered the world at the door, and found that it turned out to be a garden with a humid climate in all seasons, with rich treasures hidden in it, and a little secret hidden in the garden , as long as you can find the secret, you can lead your other hide-and-seek companion to clear the level!

???? "Hmmm..."

???? But when the locksmith first found the secret, another of her companions ran over to interfere with her and tried to hide it as a secret.

??? .

???? She just did this, and she insisted on admitting defeat by her companions, saying those unbearable compliments to her.

???

???? This stalemate lasted all night.

????…

????Yun Yeman kissed Hua Baihe's corner of the eye and kissed the wet corner of her eye away.

???? In fact, she didn't really want to do anything with this person, but if Yin Zhi is more obedient, maybe she just needs to cast a reluctant look at her, let alone stop on the spot, she He might be reluctant to touch this person with a finger.

???

???? Anyway, this mouth is too annoying.

???? Thinking of this, she kissed the other person's reddish lips again, the color was between pink roses and red roses, and it looked even more attractive after dipping a little crystal.

????

???

???? So proud, so strong, like a blazing light, shining into her life, she can no longer endure the darkness.

???? In fact, Hua Baihe wasn't really fainted by the exercise all afternoon, but she always felt that it was inappropriate to be awake—

??? in this way.

???? So she quietly let the other party play, but did not forget to harass the system:

???? "Tonger!"

???? The system has started to learn the Great Compassion Mantra again.

???? "When did you become an adult?" Hua Baihe suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

???? The system asked cautiously, "Why?"

???? "Because of the happiness of adults, you can't imagine it now~" Hua Baihe commented in the tone of an old driver. If the situation allowed, she might want to light a cigarette.

???? System: "[I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen.jpg]"

????Hua Baihe: "Do you think I want to tell you that this kind of life is cool? Wrong."

???? The system froze for a moment.

???? Hua Baihe: "That's a super invincible spiral that is exciting and refreshing!"

???? System: "…"

???? Why can't they kill the host, it is thinking.

????…

???? Yun Yeman didn't expect Hua Baihe to pretend to be sleeping, she felt that she was going too far. When I got the soup there, I did a brief reflection.

???? Uncle Bo knows her relationship with his young lady, so he is very relieved to leave people to her to serve. After all, now Yin Xiao relies on the most people outside him and Yun Yeman, Two people always have to deal with things.

???? told her a few words, and Uncle Bo left.

???? Yun Yeman carried the very beautiful thermal insulation bucket and walked up, thinking as he walked, that he could no longer press people and mess around this week, at least to give Miss Yin a little acclimatization time.

???? Thinking like this, after she pushed the ward away—

????Hua Baihe is on the phone with someone: "Huh? Yunding celebrates, oh every class has a party, I'll see, after all, it's not very free."

????Yun Yeman: "…"

???? She almost forgot, this person is best at pretending to be asleep.

???? Hua Baihe heard the door open, turned her head, and saw the person who she thought would not come back in a short time.

???? The two were silent for ten seconds.

???? Then Yun Yeman walked towards her with a thermal bucket, the clean tiled floor was stepped on by her slightly heeled shoes, making a slight 'da-da' sound.

???? One step, two steps, like the steps of a devil.

???? Hua Baihe's scalp was numb, and in confusion, he blurted out: "I want to go out to see people! Don't come here, I don't want to hit people."

???? The dignified school tyrant has been reduced to the point of bluffing.

???? Yun Yeman seemed to be showing weakness in the first half of her sentence, and the second half of the sentence had to be forced to respect her, the deceived anger in her heart disappeared in an instant, only in her a little bit With frightened eyes, he walked to the bed, put the insulation bucket on the table, and said:

???? "Have some soup."

????Hua Baihe: "Don't think I can't hit you if you come here—"

????Yun Yeman: "…"

???? Hua Baihe knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and blushed, but he pretended to be nothing, opened the lid, smelled the smell, and continued: "Thinking to take it Is it enough to please me with a bucket of soup, let me tell you, even if I, Yin Zhi, starved to death today—"

????Yun Yeman scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it on his lips and blew it, touched it with his lips again, and smoothed the edges when she beeped. The porcelain spoon was stuffed into her mouth.

???? Hua Baihe choked.

???? At the same time, Yun Yeman looked at her and said: "Uncle Bo boiled for four hours at home, and after he brought you to the hospital, he went back to cook, Cordyceps Soil Chicken Soup , you don't drink me."

???? Hua Baihe snatched the spoon from her hand and scooped another spoonful of soup into her mouth.

????

???? She said, "Give up, I won't give you a drop."

???? Yun Yeman watched her food-protecting movements, and subconsciously reached out to touch the top of her hair, but Hua Baihe saw it sharply, and avoided in advance .

???? She withdrew her hand in disappointment, but a soft smile finally appeared on the corner of her lips.

???? It's great that you can come to my world again.

????…

???? That night, Hua Baihezhen stayed in the luxurious ward of the hospital for one night. After all, she had already experienced the cost of being discharged from the hospital in the afternoon.

???? The only problem is.

???? Although the patient bed in this intensive care unit is very large, Hua Baihe has no intention of giving it to Yun Yeman—

???? This is her last stubbornness as a generation of school bully.

???? She wants Yun Yeman to get out of the bed where she sleeps with her escort.

???? In the end, she was too carefree after taking a bath, and only wore a silk satin pajamas, and the lace fringe pattern almost made another person become wolf-like again.

???? Finally, Yun Yeman pressed her limbs on the bed, the warm breath fell on her face, and asked:

???? "I'll give you two choices, one is to get used to sleeping with me later, the other is that we exercise once before going to bed, and when will I go out to sleep when I'm done."

???? Hua Baihe's eyes widened: "...you dare?"

????Yun Yeman raised his eyebrows slightly.

???? Hua Baihe kept his mouth shut and did not speak, only the index finger that was controlled by the other party stood up and shook frantically—

???? Look here, choose one! A super sweet!

????Yun Yeman thought he hurt her hand at first, but when she saw that she turned her face away and only had one finger tossing, she couldn't help laughing.

???? She lowered her head and kissed the other person's neck, and whispered: "Why didn't I find you so cute before..."

???? Hua Baihe pretended to be angry: "Shut up or get out!"

??????

???? She can squeeze this grass into a specimen, hum!

????…

???? The next morning.

???? For the third time, Yun Yeman fished up the person who slipped off the pillow when he fell asleep, but the other party closed his eyes and hands and feet unwillingly and tried to earn money open.

???? Yun Yeman felt a little uncomfortable, and only silently increased his strength with Hua Baihe's strength.

???? So the person who wanted to leave the other's embrace found himself being held tighter and tighter, and finally couldn't help but open his eyes and said angrily: "You are Don't you want to suffocate me?"

???? Yun Yeman also followed her to open his eyes, sighed lightly, covered his lips with the corners, and whispered:

???? "If you don't hide, I won't hold you so tightly."

???? Hua Baihe tried to kill her with his eyes.

???? at the same time.

???? Students who graduated from Jiaoshi Yunding High School for many years returned to school one after another.

???? They have graduated for a long time, some are studying in China, some have gone abroad, and they have come back on purpose. They are all looking forward to today's 50th anniversary celebration of the school.

????Many people also talked about the expansion of the year, and chatted with their peers about the joy of taking a few more days off. The campus was very lively.

????Today is Yunding's Saturday, all high school students are on holiday, only a few of them have nothing to do and go back to school, wanting to see what the school will be set up today Sample.

???? I heard that many stars who went out from Jiao Shi were invited back to the party that night.

???? The liveliness of the campus lasted all day.

???? Until the end of the hot party at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, there were still people from all classes and grades who sang k at the party. Classes are different.

???? But the people who graduated from these two phases also know each other. There are at least a hundred people sitting in the same private room, and they are all connected with each other in business today.

???

???? Some people sighed when they talked about the domineering momentum of the student union back then, and I don't know who mentioned the Yin family.

???? "You haven't heard of it, have you? Yin Xiao was arrested two years ago. The arrogant Yin Zhi was hiding abroad recently and hasn't come back yet."

???? "Ah?" The people around were immediately attracted by the news, and many were still lamenting the school expansion.

???? Lin still told the news, her family has a big business and a booming business, so she knows a lot of news and finds that she has become the focus of everyone's attention. is proud.

???? She came here today wearing a famous brand, just because she didn't want others' impression of her to stay on that liar back then.

???? Only the monitor in high school scratched his head and muttered to himself: I called Yin Zhi yesterday, and she didn't say that she was abroad, no wonder she said she was busy, then she Maybe not coming?

???? Lin still nodded, in fact she also knew that Yin Xiao's industry was divided up by Yun Yeman, but that lonely guy probably won't come to this class reunion, after all, she It was obvious to everyone how much I hated the people in my class back then.

???? "Yeah, when she returns to China, oh, it's not her father's world, so why don't you cry all the time at home?" Li Mengmeng also came over, a few women Sitting together, it was like a small group of ladies, attracting the attention of the audience.

???? They are still imagining that Yin Zhi will be treated differently after returning to China, making others stunned for a while—

????

???? Two more people came to the door of the private room.

????" I'm sorry for being late, I didn't expect that I only read for one semester and the monitor would remember it. Today, the class reunion specially informed me that I will give a toast first as a thank you gift. ."

???? This slightly familiar voice made people who were chatting turn their heads.

???? However, Hua Baihe casually touched a small glass from the side and poured some beer for himself. After putting down the empty glass, he walked straight to Lin Yiren's position. There was a sense of naturalness in his demeanor.

????Lin still panics when she sees her imposing aura that has not retreated at all, and the shadow is hooked up again. He has long forgotten what story he just made up, and subconsciously stands up from his seat up.

???? But I didn't expect Yun Yeman behind Hua Baihe to pull a chair from the side and put it behind her, she sat down without looking back, turned her hand car keys.

???? "A lot of people here don't know me, right? My name is Yin Zhi, and I just studied in Yunding for one semester - it doesn't matter, you can continue talking, don't worry about me."

???? Her natural gesture of someone serving tea and pouring water, and her resounding name made the entire private room silent.

???? Many people couldn't help but look at Lin still: It's nonsense again, right? People are so arrogant, like they can't do it at home? Can't you see the fragrant grandma in a suit? Can't see the Maserati logo in your hand?

???? Lin still blushed and did not speak.

???? At this moment, Yun Yeman came back, holding a cup of moderately hot tea, handed it to Hua Baihe, and whispered:

???? "Just had a drink, would you like a cup of tea to slow down?"
