If someone asked Zeng Li what it was like to kiss Ai Jing Chu for the first time, the answer would definitely be three words—I don't know, her entire jaw and mouth were numb at that time, and she was completely unconscious.

After a while, Wu Wan Xia called. At that time, Ai Jing Chu had already left. He didn't eat, just left that sentence and that kiss and left.

"I had an accident on my bike." Zeng Li explained.

"Ah? Are you okay?" Wu Wanxia exclaimed.

"A few stitches on the chin." Zeng Li said.

"Then do you need to ask for leave? I will ask for leave for you."

Zeng Li thought for a while, "Let's see when the time comes."

After taking a few bites of the food, she thought it tasted good, so Zeng Li went to the kitchen to watch the chicken soup on the stove.

As soon as the lid is opened, the aroma is tangy, and the yellow soup is very attractive. She didn't expect that Ai Jing Chu's method was completely to her liking. Half a chicken was stewed, the flesh and bones were almost melted, and the chicken legs fell off with a single hand.

She was in a great mood immediately, found a small bowl, put some soup in it, and blew on the layer of chicken oil with her mouth. It finally cooled down a bit, and she took a sip cautiously. When the thing reached his mouth, he felt something was wrong and swallowed it slowly. I took another sip, tasted it, took another piece of meat and chewed it, and finally confirmed that there was really no salt.

She just thought it was Ai Jing Chu who forgot to explain to her and didn't take it to heart.

The next day, after she woke up, she took off the gauze from the wound and looked in the mirror, but she was startled. Her entire chin was swollen and high, which looked like Avanti's long, upturned, and pointed chin.

Everything else about her is good, except that she has extremely low self-esteem in matters related to her appearance, and she panicked all of a sudden, regardless of whether she is busy or not, so she called Wu Ying.

Ma Yi Yi came galloping along with Wu Ying.

"My God, what are you doing? Didn't you go on a date?" Ma Yi Yi exclaimed.

After all, Wu Ying is also a doctor, so she was calm, "The wound was sewn up very carefully, and the swelling is normal, and it will disappear in two days." Then she said, "How did you survive yesterday?"

Zeng Li had nothing to keep from the two of them, and confessed completely.

"Confession?" Wu Ying asked back.

"He kissed you?" Ma Yi Yi was excited.

Zeng Li nodded.

"It's inhumane, you've fallen like this, and have the nerve to kiss you." Wu Ying said.

"He just... gently..." Zeng Li racked his brains to figure out what to say, "It was just a touch."

Ma Yi Yi suddenly caught the point, "When he is confessing, he is clearly declaring war and demonstrating, okay?"

"Did you respond to him?" Wu Ying asked.

"I..." Zeng Li glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and when she mentioned yesterday's scene, her heart started beating wildly again, as if she was no longer under her control.

"I... I didn't realize it, he touched my face and left." Zeng Li replied hesitantly.

Ma Yi Yi glanced at Zeng Li, and said, "Xiaoyu, you have fallen."

Zeng Li blushed and denied it, "I didn't."

Ma Yi Yi said contentedly: "That's good, let him go wishful thinking, and hurry him to death."

However, Ai Jing Chu on the other side of the city didn't look anxious at all. He got up early as usual, ran back to eat breakfast, checked his mailbox, and began to revise Ge Yi's thesis.

When eating at noon, there was a plate of crab roe tofu on the table.

Grandpa Ai's teeth were not good, so Aunt Li made tofu and other things in different ways for him. After Ai Jing Chu took a bite, he thought it would be good for Zeng Li, so she asked Aunt Li, "How do you make this dish?"

"Eat more if it tastes good, and tell me if you want to eat it. You don't care how it is made." Aunt Li said.

Ai Jing Chu grew up with his grandparents. Without his parents, the intergenerational love is even more unscrupulous. When Grandma Ai was alive, she loved him like a heart, and she cried for several days just because of going to study in the United States.

Fortunately – under such doting, the seedlings did not grow crooked.

Except for the few things that he definitely doesn't eat, Ai Jing Chu is not picky about food, and he seldom pays attention to what he eats. The family has eaten this white tofu. I don't know how many times, but today alone is really unprecedented.

Aunt Li didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart. It was rare to see him so interested, so she opened the conversation and said, "Cut the tofu into pieces first, put it in boiling water for two or three minutes, drain it, and then fry the crab roe. But your grandma didn't eat crab before, so I replaced it with fried salted egg yolk. Then add tofu, thicken it, stir fry it, and boil it in water for a while." She also said, "When you start the pot, you should put a little salt in the pot, and the tofu should be boiled at the beginning. At the end of cooking, use high heat, and don't use it at the beginning."

Since he was a child, his understanding has been better than that of ordinary people. As long as it is something that is on his mind, he can hardly forget it after going through it in his mind. Although Aunt Li taught it upside down, he already understood eight or nine points.

As soon as he was free, he began to think about Zeng Li.

What did she have for lunch? He bought a lot of food yesterday and left them in the refrigerator. Did she make them herself today? He kissed her yesterday, was she angry or happy? Does her wound still hurt? Is she scared after being swollen?

So, he went back to his room to call Zeng Li, but no one answered, so he changed his clothes and prepared to go out. When he went downstairs, he saw a guest coming to the house. It was Grandpa Ai's former subordinate. He asked someone to bring two baskets of fresh red pomegranates from other places, and now they have delivered them.

Aunt Li and her husband have never been used to eating this food, but the grandson and grandson of the Ai family like it very much.

"Xiao Chu, if you like it, try it." Aunt Li called him.

Ai Jing Chu looked at the things, took a bag from the kitchen, picked up a dozen or so, and took them into the car together.

He called Zeng Li in the car, but no one answered.

He then dialed several times, until the car had reached the gate of her community, but still no one answered. He parked the car, walked quickly to Zeng Li's house and knocked on the door, knocked for a while, but there was no one.

For some reason, he panicked.

He can't find her.

Without this address and without that mobile phone number, even if she disappeared, he would have nowhere to be found. What's up with her? He shouldn't have left her at home alone last night. Did his behavior scare her and she didn't want to talk to him anymore?

She is so reckless, what if she falls again, or if the wound is not good and she has a high fever? Or did she feel unwell and went to the hospital?

Standing at the door of her house, Ai Jingc Cu felt the torment in her heart.

After trying to calm himself down, he called Zhou Wen.

"Are you at school?" he asked.

"Yes, it's in the laboratory."

"Help me check your patient, Zeng Li, the contact information she left in the medical record."

"Oh." Zhou Wen was extremely curious. Hearing Ai Jing Chu's tone, she didn't dare to talk too much, and obeyed obediently.

The computer in the laboratory is connected to the hospital's intranet, and all the patient's electronic files are on it. She searched and found it.

"There is a phone number and home address." Zhou Wen reported.

"How many?"

Ai Jing Chu read Zhou Wen on the other end of the phone according to the screen. The phone number is her cell phone number, and the address is where he is standing now, without any gains.

This method didn't work, so he opened the phone's address book and found the number of Zeng Li's supervisor, Director Li. After the last dinner, Director Li called him again after May Day. He wrote it down in the phone book at that time, but he didn't expect to use it at this time.

"Professor Ai, hello!" Director Li's call was connected immediately.

For the first time, Ai Jing Chu felt that he didn't know how to speak to the phone. He remembered what he had said to Zeng Li before, "Say it when you want to say it, and don't say it when you don't want to say it." In this case, I really can't say too absolutely.

"Is the child's wound okay?" Ai Jing Chu had no choice but to choose this topic.

"Okay, okay, okay." Director Li was flattered, "Thank you for your concern, thanks to your good medical skills, I drank with you last time, I'm afraid you didn't enjoy yourself, we were quite embarrassed. I brought some special products from my hometown a few days ago..."

Seeing that Director Li was going to talk endlessly again, he wanted to ask about Zeng Li but didn't know how to ask, so he interrupted and said, "Director Li."

"You say."

"Zeng Li was in a car accident yesterday and had a few stitches on her face." He tentatively said.

"Ah, is it serious? Which hospital is she in?" Director Li asked with concern.

Ai Jing Chu rubbed his forehead, it seemed that it was useless to ask him, so he said: "It's okay, she just needs to rest, may I ask you for a few days off to rest at home?"

"No problem, absolutely no problem! Let her rest assured about work matters, and she can rest at home to recover from her injuries. I will report to the unit and organize comrades to visit her later." Director Li assured her with a pat on his chest.

The phone was picked up and there was no news.

While standing at the stairs lighting a cigarette, he dialed Zeng Li's phone again, but this time it was turned off, and he didn't know if the phone turned off automatically when he ran out of battery, or for some other reason.

Ai Jing Chu knocked on the cold iron anti-theft door again, a little annoyed and annoyed, annoyed that he was so anxious, and afraid that something might happen to her.

Finally, he thought of the cafe.

When Ai Jing Chu arrived at the coffee shop, Dou Dou was so busy that his seven orifices were smoking.

As soon as Dou Dou looked up, she saw the male god with the crew cut pushing the door in. He looked around quietly at first, and after making sure that she was the only waiter at the front desk, he walked towards her.

As he got closer and closer, Dou Dou's heart beat faster and faster.

He walked up to her and stood still.

Dou Dou didn't return to her soul for a long time.

"Has Zeng Li been here?"

"No." Dou Dou shook his head like a rattle.

"Never come?" he asked.

"I came yesterday and left at noon. In the afternoon, she said that she didn't come because she had something to do. She didn't come today. Sister Yi Yi went to her place, saying that she was injured."

Ai Jing Chu caught the point, "Yi Yi?"

"Yeah." Dou Dou nodded, trying his best to know everything about the school grass teacher, talking endlessly. Although she didn't know why the male god came suddenly, she wanted to find Zeng Li as soon as she came, "Sister Yi Yi is also the boss here."

Dou Dou saw Ai Jing Chu's anxiety, "If you want to find Miss Xiaoyu, call her."

"Can't get through," he said.

"Let me call Sister Yi Yi for you, they must be together." After speaking, he took out his cell phone and called Ma Yi Yi.

Ma Yi Yi's cell phone was tucked into her jeans, and she would have noticed the incoming call as soon as it vibrated. It's just that the three of them were karaoke in the private room, and they were arguing to death. She took out her mobile phone and saw that it was Dou Dou calling. She was afraid that something was wrong with the cafe, so she didn't dare to be careless, and went directly to a quiet place in the corridor to answer the phone.

After a while, Zeng Li saw Ma Yi Yi going and returning with the phone, with a strange and unpredictable expression.

Wu Ying was singing, and the voice and accompaniment were so loud that Zeng Li had no choice but to raise her voice and ask Ma Yi Yi loudly: "What's wrong?"

"Your phone!" Ma Yiyi handed her the phone and turned off the music.

Wu Ying was singing happily, and when the accompaniment disappeared, only her dry voice in the microphone remained.

"Hello?" Zeng Li pointed his ear to the receiver in wonder.

"Where's your phone?"

Hearing Ai Jing Chu's voice, she couldn't help but think of the deceptive words last night, and her face immediately blushed.

"Where's your phone?" he repeated.

"It's in my bag." As she answered, she went to get the mobile phone in the bag, opened it, and said, "Oh, it's out of battery."

Ai Jing Chu asked angrily, "Where have you been?"

"Come to sing with them." Suddenly she found himself disfigured and in a bad mood, so Zeng Li called Ma Yi Yi and Wu Ying for comfort. But what good idea could they have? After eating, I put a mask on Zeng Li's face and came to karaoke.

"They?"

"You don't know them, two good friends of mine." Zeng Li said.

Wu Ying next to him didn't know the situation, and asked, "Who is it? It's like checking your household registration."

Ma Yi Yi mouthed three words silently to Wu Ying: "Ai Jing Chu."

"Why do you have Yi Yi's phone number?" Isn't it too magical? Zeng Li wondered.

"I went to your cafe, and I called from that little girl's mobile phone." He replied.

"You looking for me?" Zeng Li asked.

The simple, three-word question stumped the omnipotent Ai Jing Chu. He was looking for her, of course he was, but why did he look for her? At first he just wanted to make a phone call, but when the phone didn't work, he went to the door, but there was no one knocking on the door, so he looked for her all over the world as if he had taken the wrong medicine. However, after asking so many people, mobilising the crowd, and finding her after twists and turns, what do you say? Ask her if she wants to eat pomegranate?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly at the phone.

Since when did Zeng Li control his emotions?

It's not fair.

"Hello." She didn't hear a reply for a long time, thinking that the signal was not good, she stood up and moved her feet.

"I'm here," he said.

"Is there something urgent?" she asked again.

"It's nothing, I just passed by your coffee shop, so I came in to ask." After speaking, he simply said goodbye, and then hung up.

"Hey—" she stopped him.

"What?" he asked.

"Do you want to come and sing?" Zeng Li asked.

"No, I won't."

At the end, he urged: "Go back and rest early."

When Zeng Li came home, he saw a bag of pomegranates hanging on the handle of the door as soon as she went upstairs. She looked around suspiciously, not knowing who left it here, and she didn't dare to take it, so she opened the door carefully, closed the door again, and let the bag of pomegranates hang on.

She took off her mask, changed her clothes and shoes, and then charged her phone.

After the phone was turned on again, Zeng Li saw the dozen or so missed calls from Ai Jing Chu.

She was startled a little.

For dinner, Aunt Li specially made a new dish with tofu. This time Ai Jing Chu didn't pay attention, he neither ate more nor thought about how to cook, just buried his head, and went to the study to read after eating.

When turning the pages of the book, Ai Jing Chu glanced at the washed pomegranates on the table, but refused to eat them.

Aunt Li saw it, and said to her husband, "What's wrong with this child?"

"What's wrong?" Uncle Liu asked back.

"Who are you arguing with?"

"I look good." Uncle Liu said the same thing.

"I was very happy to see him all day, but when I came back at night, I was sulking with myself alone."

"You thought he was a child?"

"He's just a child." Aunt Li retorted.

"Don't fall in love, young man?" Uncle Liu said casually, and Aunt Li was really interested. Looking at Ai Jing Chu's profile, it seemed that it was really the case.

"It's long overdue." It's already thirty, the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuch. If it weren't for his aunt, that is, Ai Jing Chu's grandma, who gave him a lot of advice before she died, the whole family would have introduced him to a strengthened platoon.

Grandma Ai's original words at the time were: "I have stumbled on his father. I haven't taken regret medicine for decades. After I die, you don't care about Xiaochu's affairs. He likes girls from other families. It doesn't matter whether he is high or low. Even if he doesn't get married, don't worry about it. Don't worry about his grandpa. Let him go, as long as he is happy."

No, even at his current age, if it were in their hometown, the children would be able to go to elementary school.

Aunt Li said to her husband: "Old Liu, go out the back door and buy something for me, go and come back quickly."

Old Liu Wei's wife followed the lead immediately, obeyed as soon as she received the order, and came back after a while.

Aunt Li held the two movie tickets she just got, and walked towards Ai Jingchu, "Xiao Chu, Second Aunt's eyes are not good, please take a look for Second Aunt, when is this movie?"

Ai Jing Chu put down the book and took it, "Isn't it tonight at eight o'clock."

"Oh, I went to the mall to buy something today, and the mall gave it away in a lottery. I still have a lot of things to do here, what should I do?" Aunt Li patted her thigh, "Why don't you take it and have a look."

"This movie theatre is not far away. I'll take you there. If you have anything else to tell me, I'll clean it up." Ai Jing Chu declined.

"We are quite old, and our ears hurt when we go to the cinema. You young people should go and ask a friend to go with you." It is best to be a woman, a female nurse, a female doctor, a female patient, or a female student.

Now Ai Jing Chu understood that the second aunt must have noticed something because he hadn't spoken all night, and deliberately made him happy. Poor parents all over the world, although he has no father or mother since he was a child, the love he has received is no worse than others.

He nodded.

Seeing this, Aunt Li was full of joy.

After coming out of the house, he planned to take a stroll around, and then go back when the time came, but he was afraid that they would suspect him, so he drove to the street.

He has never chased girls, and he doesn't have a sweet mouth, and he is not very good at coaxing people. He doesn't know what they like and don't like. But since yesterday, after he recognized this matter, he wanted to get close to her, look at her face, listen to her voice, immerse herself in her breath, and wish to send all the good things in this world to her eyes.

Unexpectedly, a ball of strength hit the cotton.

Zeng Li wore a mask to cover half of her face the next day and went to the library on time.

As soon as Director Li saw her at the elevator door, he said, "Didn't I tell Professor Ai that you were allowed to take leave? I was just about to organize a few colleagues to visit you at night."

"Ask for leave?"

"Professor Ai called me yesterday and told me that you were in a car accident and asked me to grant you
