When Tong Xianglu ran to the living room, Tong softly and Tong Yun sat opposite each other, one holding a mobile phone and wearing headphones, and the other holding a tablet outside.

The size of the two screens is the same thing.

Tong Xianglu stopped.

——"The fertility rate, can it really be restored?"

——"Song and Teacher Song, have you, have you come that far? This...this is beyond our imagination!"

The reporter interview voice that Tong Xianglu had just heard appeared in the living room again.

——"From today, you guys think about it."

Song Zhen's concluding remarks followed closely, with an arrogant arrogance.

Tapping the screen, almost at the same time, Tong Yun put down the tablet and Tong Rou took off the earphones.

Tong Xianglu didn't speak anymore. Without him, what she wanted to say, mother and eldest sister had already seen it.

Due to the atmosphere, the living room suddenly became quiet.

Both sisters watched their mother. Tong Rou put the wireless earphones into the earphone box and spoke, but it had nothing to do with the video content.

"How is Xiaokang? He is so busy that he doesn't seem to care about his studies."

Tong Rou asked Tong Kang, her youngest son, who was fifteenth this year, had just entered the first year of high school.

Tong Xianglu has always been unaware of such problems.

Tong Yun said, "It's okay, this time I'm in the second place in the monthly exam, and I have 16 students in the whole year."

"Did the teacher say anything lately?"

Tong Yun: "Nothing else, just... urged us to have a parent meeting again. We all came to the same district. Dad coordinated the management of the three hospitals, so maybe this time, we will also be absent."

Tong Kang’s parent meeting is not once or twice when they are absent. Tong Rou is busy because of her identity.

Tong Yun is in the Third Hospital, and many things have been transferred to her now, and she is also busy.

As for Tong Xianglu, she is obsessed with scientific research and doesn't care much about others. When Tong Kang's parents' meeting couldn't find anyone, she went there once, and when she did, she picked up the teacher's sting. It was not very pleasant.

"That's right, you and Xiao Lu will go back to the third district."

Ah?

The words were said suddenly, and there was no sign, Tong Yun and Tong Xianglu were a little unresponsive.

Tong Rou put the earphone box on the coffee table, sat upright, and said calmly.

"You don't need you here anymore. It's a waste of time to stay. Go back, what should you do."

Tong Yun realized something, covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes widened.

Tong Xianglu's pupils trembled, unbelievable, "Mom, what do you mean?"

What is a waste of time? Isn't this just a start? Even if... Isn't it...

Tong Rou's voice was very soft, but she couldn't hold her beak, "literally."

The focus in his eyes faded for a moment, and he whispered, "The sky has changed."

I nervously walked to Xu Anbai's ward and glanced at the person lying on the bed. Zuo Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but did not go in.

Zuo Tian asked Ren Yi to go in with the weak Jiang Xiao.

He turned around and went to the doctor's office.

Xiaobo was a little strange, what he wanted to ask, Chen Ye covered his mouth for the first time, and shook his head.

Zuo Tian made this choice. Zhu Sui and Song Zhen both respected her. Ren Yi held Jiang Xiao, and Zhu Sui opened the door for them.

"Major Jiang, let's talk about it first, saying that the Pyretin Branch is intact, and Cao Fan is still waiting for you in the ward."

Ren Yi nodded, "Thank you." Taking Jiang Xiao in.

Song Zhen felt a little unreliable, "I'll also ask the attending doctor."

Still want to see Zuo Tian.

Zhu Sui squeezed her hand and said with relief, "Don't worry, go."

"It's Xu Anbai, right? Oh, this lieutenant who had an operation in the afternoon, let me look at the medical records."

When Song Zhen entered the door, the doctor had just found relevant information on the computer.

"Penetrating gunshot wound on the right shoulder, comminuted fracture, I'll see when filming... the operation was very successful, and he was taken care of. He is alpha, and his physique is good, so he can recover completely."

"It's a soldier in the 5th district. Do you have a family here?"

Zuo Tian's voice was very soft, "No, he came to a district with his friends."

"Oh, it would be better to have a family member take care of it, right hand, it is not convenient when recovering, it is okay to take things, what to eat..." After the first meal, the doctor found that he was not rigorous and asked emphatically, "He is not left-handed, right? ?"

"no."

"Oh, I think you left someone to take care of him, but it is better to find a caregiver and look at you." Pushing the glasses, the doctor said, "Of course, it is troublesome when eating, other okay."

Zuo Tian: "How long will it take for him to completely recover?"

"He has a penetrating injury, the gun is too close, and there are burn marks on the wound. If he is alpha, he should be able to live independently in two months, and he will come back for dressing within one month. He is high-level and young, and he is usually in our hospital. , The gauze cloth can be removed in one and a half months."

"How many days will you stay in the hospital this time?"

"It's a week."

"Okay, are there any requests for taboos lately? When can he eat?..."

After standing at the door for a while, Zuo Tian didn't even notice that Song Zhen was coming, and the question was in no small order.

After hearing a few words, Song Zhen turned his head and walked back for a moment.

"It's right for us to come to a district to suffer, this whole, brothers and sisters."

Jiang Xiao is weak, and can still talk and laugh with Xu Anbai.

Xu Anbai glanced at his shoulder, heard Ren Yi's retelling after he left, and stopped talking.

Jiang Xiao saw it, "What do you want to ask, how is Zuo Tian?"

Xu Anbai twitched the corners of her lips, Jiang Xiao mentioned it without covering up, "Is she okay?"

"It's okay, they're alive and kicking. They are all ruthless people in Adenosine. They were splashed with blood. When they came up, they gave me an indwelling needle, and they couldn't hold their hands." Jiang Xiao glanced at something weakly at the door. "Hey, isn't it at the door, Mr. Zuo, come in, you don't need to be polite."

Zuo Tian, ​​who was at the door, bowed his head for a moment and pushed the door in.

Jiang Xiao leaned his head on Ren Yi's shoulder and covered his long eyelashes.

Xu Anbai could hear it, but the words were too ambiguous, as if Zuo Tian had something to do with Xu Anbai.

Zuo Tian couldn't help but tilted her head and met Xu Anbai's sight. Her pupils moved slightly, and she approached, and she stretched out her hands to show people, "I'm fine, you came in time, and there are no bruises at all."

Xu Anbai looked carefully from beginning to end, and Fang nodded, "It's fine if it's okay."

After speaking, the atmosphere fell strangely silent.

Jiang Xiao's eyes jumped repeatedly on the two people for dozens of seconds, buried his face on Ren Yi's shoulder, and suddenly said, "I've seen Dabai, let's go back, it's uncomfortable."

"it is good."

Ren Yi turned his head and said to Xu Anbai, "Then you live at the military doctor, I will find someone to guard you, Xiao Xiao, I will bring back to the Adenosine Department."

Knowing that Jiang Xiao was talking to Zuo Tianteng, Xu Anbai nodded.

Ren Yi hugged Jiang Xiao and strode out. Zhu Sui caught a glimpse of Zhu Sui outside the door and opened the door for them.

Zuo Tian wanted to ask Song Zhen and Zhu Sui to come in. Zhu Sui outside the clinker door seemed to know what she thought. As soon as Ren Yi went out, he saw Zhu Sui followed up and asked about Jiang Xiao's situation. Not long after, Song The real sound makes people take off the gland monitoring ring and have a look...

Okay, so it seems that no one will come in.

Zuo Tian turned his face, and looked at Xu Anbai for a moment, then lowered his head again.

"I'm sorry." Zuo Tian whispered.

"What is said, it's weird."

Zuo Tian rubbed her clothes corner, "If it weren't for me to go out and find someone, you wouldn't be shot."

"But it was the best choice at the time, wasn't it?"

What else did Zuo Tian want to say, Xu Anbai's voice is also a breath, and she gently induced, "I feel better than sorry, but thank you."

"……thanks."

Xu An rolled her lips and smiled faintly, Zuo Tian glanced at Yuguang, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Suffering and joy, joy and suffering.

The atmosphere in the ward calmed down again.

"Your clothes, I will wash them for you."

"Don't bother, get bloodied and lose it."

"No trouble."

"……whatever."

When the group went downstairs to leave, Song Zhen and Zhu Sui just said hello to Xu Anbai. After Zuo Tian entered, both winked and bothered.

After getting in the car, Jiang Xiao said: "They are still talking, leave a car for Teacher Zuo, let's go back first."

As soon as the words fell, a hand suddenly appeared on the door to be closed.

"Sweet?" Song Zhen widened his eyes, "Why are you down?"

Zuo Tian also stunned for a moment. He looked around at the people in the car, wondering, "Isn't it going to be a pyridine department?"

Song Zhen: "..."

Jiang Xiaoyi was bold, and hit the core: "Have you finished talking?"

"It's over." Zuo Tian pursed his lips, as if he didn't know what was going on, don't look away, there was no silver here and added another sentence, "I'm just thanking Team Xu. It's not like that."

What's wrong with Jiang Xiao, poke where, "We didn't ask you what you were talking about."

Zuo Tian: "..."

Everyone:"……"

"Do you... want to talk to us?" Song Zhen said with difficulty.

Zuo Tian got in the car, avoiding Song Zhen's sight, "Go back, don't Major Jiang still need to monitor, Cao Fan stayed all night yesterday, I should stay today and let him go back to rest."

That Xu Anbai upstairs... just left it like that? Not much to say? !

The thoughts in everyone's hearts were similar, but Jiang Xiao finally settled down, closing his eyes and saying, "Let's go."

The twisted melon is not sweet, Zuo Tian doesn't want to stay, it's not they can interfere.

The group of people returned to Adenosine, the blockade of the street has been lifted, cars can pass, and no pedestrians are allowed to make a detour.

Since Zuo Tian went back to Adenosine, she was included in the arrangement.

Cao Fan went back to rest, Zuo Tian and Chen Ye stayed, Zuo Tian watched the first half of the night, and Chen Ye watched the second half of the night.

After the arrangement was finished, I reported to the Rongyuan and the dean again. The burden was relieved, and when he was finally able to catch his breath after get off work, Song Zhen felt that the whole person was exhausted.

Zhu Sui went to drive, and the people from the National Security Bureau followed them. Song Zhen was holding a bag in the office of Adenosuke, and accidentally ran into Zuo Tian, ​​who was folding his clothes. It didn’t take much effort. After a glance, Song Zhen confirmed that it was Xu Anbai’s. The blood-stained clothing.

After being folded by Zuo Tian at this moment, he carefully stuffed it into his own bag, and didn't even consider whether his actions would stain his own things.

This scene pierced Song Zhen's heart, and Song Zhen suddenly said, "If you want, just go and see him."

"You can't be a lover, you can always be a friend. What he says is because... it doesn't matter if you see more."

"Follow your heart, sweet."

Zuo Tian didn't turn around while speaking, Song Zhen left after speaking, and did not need Zuo Tian's response.

On the way, Song Zhen fell asleep in the co-pilot. Zhu Sui suddenly saw the man with his eyes closed in the co-pilot and shook his head and laughed.

In the second half of the journey, the speed of the car was slowed down by Zhu Sui.

Stopped the car in the parking lot, stretched out into the air, trying to pat Song Zhen's hand with his face, and paused again when staring at the sleeping face.

In the end, the long finger fell on Song Zhen's hairline and he managed to distribute it for her.

In the dim underground parking lot, after a moment of silence, the sensor light automatically extinguished, leaving only the slight drowsiness of the ceiling light in the car.

Zhu Sui squeezed Song Zhen's cheek, but he didn't react at all. He approached, his long eyelashes trembled, and closed his eyes and printed a kiss on Song Zhen's brow.

"Sister, go home."

The voice is slight, blooming between the lips and teeth.

The next moment, the lips of Song Zhen printed a few broken kisses on the bridge of Song Zhen's nose.

Father Song was anxious at home and waited for someone to return. When he opened the door, Zhu Sui was holding Song Zhen in a deep sleep.

Zhu Sui whispered, "Dad, she is too tired today and fell asleep."

"Oh oh." Father Song's voice was not consciously lowered, "Then you come in first and I will get you slippers."

Song Zhen woke up again and slept again.

Zhuo pulled his slippers and rubbed his eyes and had dinner in the living room. After drinking the porridge, Song Zhen thought of something and asked, "Is there still cooked porridge at home?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from Song's father, Song Zhen thought of Zuo Tian's collection of clothes again, scratching his cheek in the sight of the inquiry cast by Zhu Sui, and said confidently, "Didn't you talk to Team Xu in the afternoon, Tian? Sweet and walking so fast, I just thought..."

After looking at the clock, he hesitated, "In one hour, Team Xu can eat something, right?"

Zhu Sui blinked, knowing, "Then let's go see him."

"Will it bother you too much?"

"Will not."

However, when the two of them walked outside the ward with a thermos, the soldier guarding at the door greeted them warmly, saying, "Mr. Song, Lieutenant Colonel Take, you also come to see Team Xu."

and also?

"Is the porridge mentioned? You ran into it today. Teacher Zuo went in with the food. It is estimated that Team Xu has finished eating by now."

"Zuo Tian?"

"Ah yes, it's your glands department."

Song Zhen and Zhu Sui looked at each other, and each saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Song Zhen thought about it a few times, and finally figured it out. When the Adenomatology department got off work, he would be able to pack food just before the inpatient department's prohibition of entry and exit... This, I am afraid Zuo Tian is good today.

Distressed for a while, Zhu Sui embraced Song Zhen and said, "Let's go, it's nothing, go and say hello."

In the ward, there is still the smell of food, but Zuo Tian is not there.

Xu Anbai said he was going to wash the lunch box.

Zhu Sui exchanged greetings with Xu Anbai, Song Zhen was familiar with military doctors, and turned to find someone by the sink.

When I was far away, I only heard the sound of splashing water. As I approached, Zuo Tian seemed to be talking to someone.

Suddenly, the sound of water stopped, Zuo Tian's voice was clear in the empty corridor: "Mom, I'm very busy these days, don't talk about it."

Song Zhen paused, and for a while, he didn't know whether he should be closer or farther away.

Zuo Tian did get off work early, but the millet porridge was not bought near the research institute. He went home first, took the thermos, and then went to the inpatient department of the Military Medical University mentioned in the porridge.

She herself lives in the vicinity of the Military Medical University, so it is convenient to come and go.

Xu Anbai was shot for her. Since she can't promise anything, Xu Anbai can still do it when she eats.

While washing the thermos, the phone at home came again.

It was okay at the beginning. Today’s scientific research institute is on the news, and the family cares about her, but after a few more words, the topic has become a daily worry.

Zuo Tian was already upset today, so she was especially impatient. She turned off the sound of the water when she said and tried her best to distinguish it from Zuo mother.

"I don't see anyone, we Corey, you know, this treatment was successful, and it must be an interview plus direction adjustments. Where did I get the time!"

"You said every time you don't have time!"

"I don't have time!"

"Do you have someone you like?" Zuo Mother God said, and Zuo Tian, ​​who asked with confidence, suddenly got stuck.

But this sentence was not originally a questioning. Zuo mother was suspicious: "I asked you to meet people before. If you look good, don’t you refuse it, and let me see it for you, saying that I don’t have time to get in touch. Good person, let me worry about you, so utterly awkward, how come you have such a big reaction every time you mention it these few times?"

"Honestly, do you think who is your company's fancy?"

Zuo Tian: "..."

With a slap on her face, Zuo Tian didn't even realize this change of her own.

"You think too much, no."

At least not on the unit.

"real?"

"Can't fake it!" After a pause, Zuo Tian was a little weak and weak. "I have been too busy recently and have a bad temper."

"Mom, you know, we have a newcomer in our group and we are really pregnant. Only I will bring the newcomer."

Mother Zuo muttered, "You have been heartless since you were a child, and will you still be angry with the junior?"

"..." Zhizi Mo Ruofu.

Turning the conversation, Mother Zuo: "I'm not urging you, I just want you to see more people. Last year, it was twenty-four, and it was twenty-five in a blink of an eye. You see Song Zhen has a child, and you even have a boyfriend. We haven't done it before, we...we're not asking you for anything. Hey, that's right, you are getting older. If you can find someone you like to take care of each other sooner, your dad and I will rest assured."

"Look at others, who is not in your early twenties and you are in love. You are doing scientific research and we are not unsupporting you, but in a blink of an eye, work is work, and family is also very important. Do you feel deserted?"

"Aren't you a calm personality again. If you drag on for two more years, is it a bit late?"

"Of course, it's okay to be late, if you can find a good one, but the reality is that the later, the harder it is to find."

"Sweet, sweet?"

Zuo Tian: "I'm listening..."

Mother Zuo: "Hey, this is the truth. We are just a daughter like you, and we still hope you are happy."

Zuo Tian understands.

Find it sooner, and stabilize the marriage after two years. If you can have children, you will have a child. If you can't, you can discuss how you will live your life in the future. Almost all Betas live like this.

With this fertility rate, it is early for everyone to find a target.

Regardless of whether Chen Ye graduated last year, his current girlfriend is also the second.

Recently, Adenosine's salary has been raised several times and bonuses have been high. Chen Ye has collected all the down payment and is choosing the proposal ring.

Song Zhen was married twice. She was a stranger among everyone. It was normal for her parents to be worried.

But her parents hadn't forced her into anything, they... they were just worried.

I'm afraid that if she doesn't look for it now, all the good ones will be picked away, and she will be left. When her parents are older, she won't be able to take care of her.

People are social animals, she is not happy alone, she likes lively.

Zuo Tian understands, always understands, and knows that she is emotionally slow, so she has never choked with her parents in this regard.

But...but...

Zuo Tian bowed her head, her voice was gentle, "I know mom, two months later, when the scientific research results are really released, I will take an annual vacation and wait... When I go home, I will go to meet those young talents. Jun, okay?"

Zuo Tian: "I've been a little tired recently, but now Corey can't live without people. Wait for this time to pass, okay?"

Huo Zuo mother happily hung up the phone, Zuo Tian's eyes were a little tranced.

I want to wash the dishes with boiling water, but looking at the bowl in my hand, thinking about the hard work I went home to get clean dishes and chopsticks, I don't know what the picture is, then in a moment, there is a kind of unspeakable uncomfortable accumulation in my heart...

Song Zhen just watched, watching Zuo Tian's hands stop washing the dishes, suddenly lowered his head, his shoulders shaking...

"Sweet." Song Zhen sighed.

Stepping forward, tenderly took the tableware from the sobbing Zuo Tian, ​​packed up the rest of the help, and put it away.

Two friends who have been friends for many years, silently, there is still such a tacit understanding.

After finishing packing, Song Zhen took a piece of paper, wiped his hand, took another one, and handed it to Zuo Tian.

Zuo Tian didn't answer, and shook her head, her expression in a trance.

Speaking, he didn't ask Song Zhen how much he heard or why Song Zhen was here. Zuo Tian said, "I actually don't know what I want most."

"While wanting to be fair and honest, while..."

Zuo Tian's eyes fell on the bowls and chopsticks, blinking, a line of silent tears fell, "I can't put it down on one side."

"I do not understand."

Zuo Tian covered her face and said hoarsely: "I don't understand, it's true."

The question of feelings is not suitable for her, it is too complicated for her.

This was the second time Song Zhen saw Zuo Tian crying. The first time she didn't speak, and the second time, she felt that she had to say a few words and a few facts.

In the first sentence, Song Zhen said truthfully, "You cried for him again."

In the second sentence, Song Zhen said something cruel, "You are not a cruel person, you can't let go of him, sweet."

Finally, Song Zhen wanted to say.

"Team Xu was really good to you. Sui Sui said that the shot was aimed at you, otherwise they would not shoot the crowd immediately. He saw it, and he ran towards you, even if... "

Even in such a dangerous situation, that shot might hit Xu Anbai in the head.

Who is right?

But he still threw down Zuo Tian without hesitation.

These words were spoken to Song Zhen privately by Zhu Sui. Song Zhen did not want Zuo Tian to be psychologically burdened.

but--

"You have tried to let it go. If you really can't let it go, why don't you pick it up and try it?"

Zuo Tian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "But I am beta, he is alpha."

"Still from the Xu family, excellent A-level alpha."

Zuo Tian bowed his head, his expression hidden in the shadows.

"I...I am not worthy of him in everyone's eyes."

It's not that she feels unworthy.

It's not that Xu Anbai said she was unworthy.

This sentence left the subjectivity aside, leaving only the objectivity, it was just... stating the cruel facts.

Zuo Tianlei looked at Song Zhen and said soberly and desperately, "You know, this kind of unworthiness, who I am, and how much success I will have in the future, doesn't matter, right?"

This kind of unworthiness is destined from birth.

What cannot be changed by manpower is called fate.

At that moment, Zuo Tian's crying look overlapped with Song's father in Song Zhen's eyes.

In a daze, Song Zhen thought of the same day when Father Song came to a district, shaking his shoulder blades, covering his face with his hands, saying that he was not worthy of Song Zhen's mother Zhuang Qing.

With that said, if...even if...will...

Moving forward, Song Zhen thought of Zhu Sui's brother, Zhu Nian.

Gender conversion, in Zhusui's mouth, as an alpha, he seems to suffer no less than Zuo Tian and Song's father who are beta...

Heaven and earth are furnaces, and all beings suffer.

"Sorry, Sweet."

Song Zhen stretched out his hand and hugged Zuo Tian, ​​closed his eyes deeply, and said abruptly, "I am going to develop a conference next week to announce the current scientific research results of my mother and me over the past few years."

"Don't torture yourself anymore..."

"your problem,"

"I will give you the answer."
