Chapter 27.18: A quiet life

The snow is still heavily blowing, biting the cold ground. In the city, He He drove to the airport to pick up Cen s.h.i.+. She did not even take any scarf. In a hurry, she was sweating so did not feel cold. But now, she is feeling the chill and the fine sweat on her body had turned into ice, cementing close to her body.

She could not think of where Zheng Xie would be. If he was determined to not let people know he was ill, he did have a lot of places to escape. But she only knows Zheng Xie’s two residence. And the unit opposite her, Zheng Xie rarely go and stay there before, therefore this time, she did not dare to expect him to be there.

But He He have nowhere to go to look for him. And because he concealed his illness from his family, she could not even call his friends to ask. She knows that there is no hope to hold but still want to hope that her thought is right. But it was hard to wait for the taxi.

Although she knew that he could not be here, and when she knocked for over five minutes with no response, she began to cry again.

On this floor, there are only two units. One side is her home and the other side is Zheng Xie’s house. She had these two units to come and go. But now, she did not even carry the key. In the huge city, she is alone. Her one and only relative has disappeared. She could not return home. The whole world seems to have abandoned her.

He He knocked on Zheng Xie’s door: “Brother, you open the door. You open the door! I am He He.” She weep while lying on the door until alerted the neighbors downstairs.

The neighbor downstairs is an old couple. They looked at her for a long time before finally recognizing her.

“He He ah…. You come back. Did not bring the key? Faster come into the house. The hallways is cold.”

Xiao He He went into the elderly couple home. After was.h.i.+ng her face and drink a few mouthful of water, she found herself about to be frozen.

The old lady said: “The lady guess is right. She said that if you come back these few days, let us contact her.”

He He previously frozen brain is not flexible. While she was thinking about the meaning of the sentence, the old man had already call the number written on the s.h.i.+ning piece of paper: “Miss Wei ah, I am sorry to bother you so late. But He He has just come back. Oh, ask her to pick up the phone….”

He He rushed past, and rudely grabbed the phone: “Secretary Wei, right? Yes, its me. Zheng….. where is my brother?”

“You already know about it? It is late today. You have a good rest. Tomorrow I take you to see him.”

“I am in the neighborhood. I do not have the keys. Where is he? I want to see him now.”
