The corridors are dark, and occasionally small animals come out of a classroom, probably because it is cold outside, find a place to shelter from the wind.

The classroom is very quiet.

Yu Xinghe didn't make a sound for a long time.

The person in front of him has transformed from a little boy who needs her protection to a big man who can protect her. At this moment, he sincerely wrapped her in his rare tenderness and waited for her answer quietly.

For a long time, she babbled and stammered, "We, are we too fast."

It’s only a month since we met.

He Youting didn't move, and blocked her in front of her, "We have known each other for 16 years."

I am too slow.

Yu Xinghe: "But I—" I haven't thought about it yet.

He Youting suddenly put the other arm on her side. At this moment, she was completely surrounded by him, and there was nowhere to escape.

She was so frightened back when she said half of it.

"Don't like me?" He said lightly, and regained his former self-confidence, "Don't like me, Qin Hao said I am not interested in you, why are you crying."

She quibbleed: "I didn't."

"Nothing, didn't you dislike me, or didn't you want to cry?"

The man leaned forward again and almost pressed her tightly, "Yesterday you thought I was going to introduce your boyfriend, why was you angry?"

It's too close.

Yu Xinghe felt unable to breathe, and subconsciously put his hand on his chest, secretly exerting force, trying to push him farther.

At first he was still motionless like a stake, but she pushed it twice before he reluctantly backed away.

Yu Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief, slowly, finally looked at him, and solemnly said: "He Youting."

He Youting waited, and after waiting, his voice answered dumbly, "Yes."

"Can you give me some time."

I don't want to start in a hurry, let alone end.

When the parents broke up, the relationship between the mother and adoptive father broke down. It was impossible to say that it had no effect on her. Since entering adolescence, she has also understood what a girl's mind is, she is very cautious and dare not start at will, because she is afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

Her thinking is very simple. When it started, she rushed for a lifetime without thinking of separating.

Seeing He Youting kept silent, she lowered her head and said, "My father's matter has not yet come to fruition, I don't have the energy to think about anything else." She paused, "Wait for me, wait until all the dust settles, I must seriously think about it. Our business."

He Youting looked at her for a few seconds, the girl was frank and frank, she didn't rashly agree, nor was she trying to catch it, she was procrastinating.

This kind of her made him respect and cherish more. After a long time, he nodded: "Okay."

"I promise you, give you time," he reached out and rubbed her soft hair, his lips twitched, "Don't let me wait too long."

His fingertips slipped from her silky hair and hung down, resisting the urge to hold her, as if they were separated from the back of her hand.

He Youting sent people home safely, watched her go upstairs, did not leave immediately as usual, he sat in the car for a while, idle and bored, turned the lighter around for several times, thought about it, took out his mobile phone and used the ordering software Ordered a meal and called Jiang Pingzhou again.

After listening to him, Jiang Pingzhou "fucked up" several times: "Why didn't you say it earlier? How embarrassing it was."

He is also a master who can afford to let go. Besides, his current liking for Yu Xinghe is only on the surface. It can't be said to be very profound. He also said in a big way: "Don't worry, I won't touch my brother's woman. I am my sister-in-law when we meet."

He Youting didn't say a word.

Jiang Pingzhou heard something wrong: "What is the situation, have you confessed to her?"

"Listed."

"She didn't agree?"

"Um."

Jiang Pingzhou gave another "fuck", "This girl is okay, even you dare to refuse, then what do you think?"

"What else can I think, just wait."

That head is happy, maybe it feels fresh, "Okay, the eldest master, this is really serious, you can wait slowly, if you need to call brother."

Hung up, He Youting waited for the takeaway.

He didn't drive the lights, and he was trapped in the shadows. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the taste of just kissing her.

The small nose is very delicate, white, smooth and tender.

He touched his lips and laughed.

I really want to rush up right now and press someone on the sofa to take a lot of trouble.

After thinking about it, I feel dirty.

I was doing a self-examination, and saw a small motorbike slowly riding over not far away and stopped at the door of her building.

The motorcycle rider wears a blue helmet and the incubator is also blue.

He Youting opened the car window and said, "Dude, from the eighth floor?"

That person: "Yes."

He Youting got off the car, "Give it to me, I called it."

"Talk to the four of you after the call." He was quite dedicated.

He Youting did so.

There is no need to go upstairs, the food delivery person is naturally happy, and he leaves after giving the lunch box.

He Youting touched the packaging, still hot.

He took the elevator upstairs, put the lunch box to her door, hid in the fire stairs, and sent her a WeChat.

In the room.

Too much happened today, Yu Xinghe's brain was buzzing, and he didn't want to move when he went home. From the time he walked in, he didn't change his clothes, didn't make dinner, and didn't take a shower.

Suddenly the phone rang.

With difficulty, she hooked the phone at the end of the sofa with her toes and unlocked it. It was a WeChat message from He Youting: Open the door.

She was shocked, this person would not have left yet.

Yu Xing Heteng bounced off the sofa, without wearing any shoes, ran to open the door.

No one is outside.

She lowered her head and saw the lunch box at the door.

A warm current flows from head to toe.

She glanced at the elevator, which was still stopping on the eighth floor, guessing that he hadn't left yet and probably where he was hiding.

She didn't pierce it either, and closed the door after taking the lunch box.

There was movement outside the door, she saw through the cat's eyes and saw He Youting coming out of the fire exit and pressing the elevator downstairs.

Yu Xinghe held the lunch box in the palm of his hand, leaned his back against the door, and smiled with his head down.

Open the lunch box, there are two dishes, one soup, one rice, and a cup of hot milk tea.

She finished eating carefully.

The eye sockets are a little wet.

Suddenly I remembered the day when I was 18 when I moved out from my adoptive father's house.

There is only one small room in her new home, and the living room and kitchen are shared.

On the first night, she forgot what she was going to eat. The supermarket was far away and the neighbors were not familiar with it. During that time, it was cooling down and it was very cold. She was hungry and shrank alone in the cold blanket.

I really missed my mother at that time.

My mother is beautiful, proud, and strong in her life. In the last year of her life, she had a very unsatisfactory life. She even guessed that her mother might have regretted going abroad.

At that time, the adoptive father's work was transferred, and if he didn't go, the two places would be separated.

For this family, her mother quit the stable job that everyone envied, and followed her adoptive father away from home.

Probably no one could have imagined that it would end like that in the end.

A few days later, Yu Xinghe and Shen Tingyu did a paternity test.

He Youting accompanied her, and the results came out a week later. They parted at the gate of the appraisal center. Shen Tingyu glanced at He Youting, "I know you, a young and promising young man, and I hope to cooperate if I have a chance in the future."

He Youting smiled, and did not answer directly. He only said something pointedly: "Don't worry, if you are really Xinghe's father, we must still have many opportunities to deal with in the future."

Shen Tingyu glanced at Yu Xinghe beside him and smiled clearly.

After he left, He Youting asked Yu Xinghe: "Where to go?"

"I have to go back to Xingqi, there will be classes in half an hour."

"I send you."

Yu Xinghe shook his head: "Don't give it away. It's very convenient for me to take a taxi myself. Your company doesn't go the way."

He Youting glanced at the time and it was indeed time to go back to the company. There was a very important video conference today. He made time to come over. After thinking about it, he said, "Go to my sister at night."

Yu Xinghe nodded.

"I'll take you?"

Yu Xinghe glanced at him, and after He Youting scratched his ears, he explained clearly, "I'm going to Cengfan."

After a while, she lowered her head slightly, "I'll be over at three o'clock, you can't leave that early."

He immediately said: "You go home first, or go to the mall first, we call."

"good."

Yu Xinghe has been giving piano lessons to Xiaomi for three consecutive days. Xiaomi is smart and talented. He can play two tigers according to the piano score. He Siling is very happy. Every day is delicious and delicious. I want to entertain Yu Xinghe. To her house.

Today, she gave a plate of fruit and closed the door as usual, so as not to disturb them in class.

When he walked to the living room, he saw He Youting take off his coat, put his two long legs on the armrests, holding his head in one hand and the remote control in the other, switching channels back and forth.

He Siling walked over and kicked him in the leg: "Rang, let me sit down."

He propped up his legs and made a space.

He Siling sat down, took an orange and peeled it, and said casually: "You have something wrong recently."

He didn't watch her, the TV station was stopped on the sports channel, and a table tennis match was being broadcast live inside, "What's wrong?"

"Why always run to my house?"

He Youting used to come here from time to time, but he is definitely not as frequent as he is now.

After a pause, he said: "I didn't say that I didn't care about Xiaomi before, but now I can't come too much. It's really hard to serve."

He Siling raised her eyebrows, meaning: "You don't like to come to see Xiaomi."

He Youting finally glanced at her, "What are you trying to say?"

"Do you like Xinghe?"

He Siling has always been straightforward, and it is not easy to ask questions after holding back for a few days.

He Youting also took an orange, peeled it a few times, and stuck it in his mouth without speaking.

"talk."

"no?"

"..." He Siling was stunned, "I really like it?"

Although she had guessed it, she was still not prepared for it when he admitted it so quickly.

He Siling has always been worried about his younger brother's emotional life. Although he is very feminine, he seems to be not very open-minded all the time. Apart from work and socializing, he just hangs out with that group of friends, friends and dogs.

She once introduced him to several girls with very good conditions, and they were all pushed by him. I asked him if he and Shu Yu were in a relationship before, but he glared back at him.

I have been thinking about what kind of girl can be in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, it was Yu Xinghe.

In He Siling's impression, Yu Xinghe is just like himself. He Youting's role in He Youting's heart is the guardian, life mentor, and psychological support.

She really didn't think about them together, otherwise she wouldn't match Yu Xinghe and Qin Hao before.

How could this kid scold himself in his heart at the time.

She gradually got a little excited.

The eyes shined straight, and the gossip wings could no longer hide: "So you are in love?"

He Youting licked his lips, "Not yet."

"Chasing her?"

"Um."

To Yu Xinghe, He Siling is 10,000 people satisfied. She has a gentle personality, a beautiful appearance, and knows her roots. She fits well with He Youting. She is a little eager to try: "Would you like me to help you?"

Thinking of He Siling's unreliable behavior over the years, He Youting's Adam's apple rolled over, "Don't bother you, I'll do it by myself, you take care of your own affairs."

After thinking about it, he said, "Who can't go there in Shenzhen, it has to be him? Can't tell your second uncle and transfer him back. It's not a problem for you two to live apart all the year round."

Millet’s father, Tang Huaili, has been the general manager of the Shenzhen branch for more than a year, and the extension was postponed for another year a while ago.

Mentioned him, He Siling's face changed, and soon he lost the vitality he had just now, and became bored, "Besides, he wants to stay there, and I can't control it."

He Youting said nothing.

Halfway through the time, after ten minutes of rest, Xiaomi couldn't sit still and ran out to play. He Youting glanced at the door, but she didn't come out.

He walked over, leaning against the crack in the door and looking in.

Yu Xinghe was sitting in front of the piano, talking on the phone.

She lowered her head slightly, with her long hair tucked behind her ears, leaving a short strand of her face hanging in front of her, shaking slightly as she nodded, and the free hand was touching the keys of the piano once and again, occasionally Press a syllable.

Her low voice came over: "Well, I'm fine, it's okay here, it's not too cold."

I don’t know what was said on the phone, she replied: “It’s not decided yet, maybe it’s Chinese New Year. I’ll call you before I go back.”

He frowned.

Are you talking about the time to go back?

The heart sank uncontrollably, and he said a few more words over there and died.

When she looked up, she saw the figure sticking at the door. She tilted her head, as if asking him: What's the matter?

He Youting's fingers rubbed the edge of the door, and when he was about to push the door in, there was a small hand on his waist.

Xiaomi squeezed him and ran into the room, Le Diandian handed Yu Xinghe an orange: "Ms. Xinghe, this is sweet."

After all, He Youting did not ask, and silently closed the door.

Time is a weird thing, it depends on how fast it is to be measured.

People who go to school hate exams and feel that they will take the final exam shortly after the midterm exam.

Those who go to work want to do a monthly report, and it becomes more and more obvious that a month passes quickly, and it will be the end of the month before anything else.

Girls who hate coming to their aunts are so accurate, they often feel that they come again the next day after leaving.

The opposite is true when expecting something.

A week is very long for Yu Xinghe. She counts the days every day, looking forward to it coming, but she is afraid that it will not come.

At noon, she and Qin Yue set up the cribs one by one, preparing the children for a nap.

Another life teacher took maternity leave. Yu Xinghe promised to help the principal for a few months, and the salary was paid according to regular employees, so she has been commuting to and from get off work as usual recently.

She was absent-minded and knocked her knees several times when she moved the bed. Qin Yue reminded her from the side, "Be careful, what are you thinking about."

She shook her head, "It's okay."

After cleaning up, the children entered the house one after another and ran to their positions to lie down.

Their cribs are numbered and have fixed positions.

Everyone lay down, and Qin Yue clapped his hands: "Children, the nap has begun. Let's cover the quilt, close our eyes, the teacher count one, two, three, and see who is the fastest!"

She pretended to cover her eyes: "It's starting, one, two... three!"

When I opened my eyes, the rows of little garlic sprouts closed their eyes obediently, only two or three little troublemakers were still moving.

Yu Xinghe got close, walked to the noisy little bed, tucked his quilt corner, and said softly: "Noisy, obedient, close your eyes."

Nao Nao is a clumsy little boy. He usually loves to dance and is the most active, but now he is grabbing his face, and the small body in the quilt twists and turns, "Teacher, my stomach hurts."

After hearing this, Yu Xinghe hurriedly pressed down and asked, "Does my stomach hurt?" She put her hand into the quilt and touched his stomach: "Is this here?"

Nao Nao couldn't tell where it hurts, but I said it hurts everywhere. Yu Xinghe found that his face was pale.

"Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Nodded.

Yu Xinghe hurriedly helped him get up and put on shoes.

After a while, the other kid also said that his stomach hurts.

Here, four or five children have been arguing with stomachaches and want to go to the bathroom.

Yu Xinghe felt something was wrong.

Presumably, there was something wrong with the lunch meal, which was big or small, so she hurriedly notified the principal and others.

After the toss, the child took turns to the toilet two or three times, but still did not relieve, and showed the symptoms of vomiting. Yu Xinghe felt that he could not delay any longer, and directly picked up the nearest child and ran out, "to the hospital!"

When the parents were notified to arrive, the emergency room was already full of children who were hanging water.

There are eleven in total.

Unexpectedly, within five minutes, there were fierce disputes. The parents were emotional and shouted that they must have an explanation. Good children should be sent to your kindergarten and admitted to the hospital.

The head of the park was the first to be among them, surrounded by a group of parents, and kept explaining.

There were already onlookers outside, and some even picked up their phones to take videos.

Amidst various quarrel explanations, a soft and calm woman's voice was abrupt: "Calm down, everyone."

The parents were interrupted and looked at the source of the sound angrily.

She was a young woman, plain looking, wearing glasses, a black slim-fitting woolen coat, a dark green bag on one shoulder, her hands in her pockets, and a strong scroll.

Yu Xinghe knew her, she was Tangtang's mother, the kid who was lost in the mall last time.

She took two steps forward and took her hand out of her pocket and hung her side by her side, "No one wants such a thing to happen. I think the kindergarten is more scared than we are now. The child's body is more important. The kindergarten that is so big is there. Now, they can't run away."

"This is a hospital. It's not appropriate for you to be noisy here. Let's calm down and talk about it slowly. There will always be a solution."

The principal quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes, we are investigating the reasons, and we will definitely give everyone a satisfactory statement. Now it is still the children's health that matters."

The parents heard that although they were uncomfortable, their excitement was eased.

Everyone gradually dispersed and went to take care of their own baby. The director looked at Tangtang's mother gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding."

Tangtang's mother smiled, "All are parents, no one wants to." She looked at Yu Xinghe next to the principal, "I haven't been able to say thank you."

Yu Xinghe looked puzzled.

Tangtang’s mother glanced at her daughter who was still hanging water, with a smile on her face, “After the last time in the mall, her father and grandma took the initiative to look for me. From now on, I can come to see Tangtang once a week. I heard that you found my daughter, thank you."

This is really good news. Yu Xinghe was very happy, and said no thanks, "Tangtang should be very happy, right."

"Well, she can live with me one night a week. She makes a lot of progress. She recites a lot of poems and gives me performances." When it comes to her daughter, her face becomes softer.

That's the nature of a mother, and it can't be controlled.

The day was in a mess. The children got rid of water and their condition got better. Fortunately, there was nothing too serious and they didn't need to be hospitalized, so they were taken back home on the same day.

There is nothing wrong with Xiaomi. She has a good physique, and she doesn't usually get sick, and she didn't eat the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that day.

The kindergarten was temporarily closed because of this incident, because some parents reported the incident to the Municipal Food and Drug Administration.

Someone was quickly sent over there to investigate.

Generally, the meals in private kindergartens are outsourced, and there are specialized suppliers to provide nutritious meals for children. However, Xingqi Kindergarten has its own canteen and chefs, and it does not contract out.

There are five people in the supervision department. They have the main theme, take photos, and have records. The battle is very serious and the atmosphere is very serious.

Although the park did not open, the teachers also arrived at the scene on time for investigation as required.

Everyone was asked a few words, and then they asked to go to the back kitchen, and a group of people walked toward each other mightily. One of them stopped when passing by Yu Xinghe, looked at her for two seconds, but didn't speak.

Yu Xinghe saw his face clearly.

There were too many people just now, she only paid attention to the leader, not the people who followed.

They have never seen each other since he returned to China that year.

It was Xu Cheng, the former neighbor of foreign students who had been a little fond of, that Yu Xinghe and He Siling mentioned before.

There was surprise in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Cheng whispered: "Hush, see you later."

After speaking, he followed the crowd into the back kitchen.

The test results of the back kitchen were very unfavorable to the kindergarten. The sanitary conditions were not up to standard in several places, and they also found rotten tomatoes and expired food in the remaining vegetables.

The chef shivered with fright and shook his head again and again: "It's none of my business. The cut dishes look good, and I haven't seen anything unclean."

Aunt Zhang on the side was pale, with big beads of sweat on her forehead in the winter.

Her grandson never eats food in the cafeteria. At this point, the people in the kindergarten probably know what's going on.

The supervisors are experienced and can guess the best. They do the finishing touches and order the kindergarten to close for rectification. The official documents of the investigation results will be notified separately.

After they left, the principal left Aunt Zhang in the kitchen.

Yu Xinghe walked halfway and looked back. In the glass window, Aunt Zhang was crying with tears, her mouth opened and she was saying something, filled with aggrieved feelings.

poor person must have something mean.

The deduction of food may temporarily ease the hard life of one's own family, but it is extremely bad to send those rotten and spoiled food into the back kitchen and turn it into a Chinese meal for children like flower bones.

After finishing packing, Yu Xinghe walked out of the kindergarten with a small bag on his shoulders. In the bag were a few piano scores she had brought from home, which she was going to give to Xiaomi.

She stood on the side of the road waiting for the bus, and heard someone calling her not far away.

With his head tilted, Xu Cheng hugged his shoulders and leaned against a big tree not far from the left side of the kindergarten.

He is in uniform, with a crisp head, and his eyebrows are as clean as before.

He walked over and looked at Yu Xinghe with a smile: "There were too many people just now, it is not convenient for me to talk."

Yu Xinghe also understood that it was not good to let others know that the two of them had known each other before.

Xu Cheng said: "I saw you at a glance. When did you return to China?"

To be honest, she was surprised and really happy to see Xu Cheng here. They have been neighbors for a few years, and they are as kind as half a fellow villager.

Although he has lost the little girl's mind before, he is still a very good friend.

Yu Xinghe also smiled, "It's been a while, didn't you learn design, how did you become a civil servant?"

Xu Cheng shrugged helplessly: "It's a long story. May I invite you to dinner?"

They didn't go far, they just found a restaurant near the kindergarten, ordered a few dishes, and waited for them to chat.

Xu Cheng learned design at the beginning, and the job he was looking for after returning home was not very satisfactory. Later, someone was found at home and forced him to work in a unit within the system. Although he was unwilling, he did not want to go against his parents.

So started the stable work from nine to five.

Set in the same way, you can see ten years later at a glance.

I can see that he is also quite helpless.

After talking about himself, he smiled and looked at Yu Xinghe, "It's amazing, I'm already a piano teacher."

"That's right, you played the piano very well at that time. Remember, the landlord had a piano in the living room, and it was all dusted off. When you come, the first thing is to wipe it clean and mix with everyone. When you are done, you often play it to us."

When he talked about the past, Yu Xinghe reminded Yu Xinghe of the days when he was alone. Fortunately, the neighbors he met at the time were very good, otherwise she might be more difficult.

She was slightly in a trance, the gentle sunset hit her face through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the small fluff on her earlobes was so gentle.

Xu Cheng looked at her for a while, "You are more beautiful than before."

Yu Xinghe returned to his senses, "Huh?"

Xu Cheng's eyes flashed, "Nothing."

Serve soon.

After eating for a while, He Youting called.

"How's it going?"

Yu Xinghe said: "Suspension of business for rectification will probably have to pay a lot of fines, and now they are all gone."

"Have you gone too?"

"Um."

He Youting was very noisy, and the voice of the printer came over from time to time. After a while, he said, "Have you gone home? Or go directly to my sister."

"No, I ran into an old friend, a neighbor who used to be abroad, to have a meal outside and go directly to Sister Siling's house later."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and after a few seconds: "Who did you meet?"

Yu Xinghe said: "My former neighbor, studied there."

"..."

He didn't speak for several seconds, and Yu Xinghe thought he was busy, so he wanted to hang up.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly said: "Where are you, I will look for you."

"...What are you doing here? I'll go to Sister Siling's house in a while."

"where."
