"What's the matter with you? Any news of concern?" Kang Zhi's voice came out suddenly.I found myself staring at the newspaper, and hurriedly looked up to see that Kang Zhi was watching me from the kitchen counter. "Speaking of which," my voice was hoarse, I gave a dry cough, and squeezed out a smile, "I just remembered, Kang Zhi, what is AngelHome?" It doesn't matter, I said it very naturally. "Ah, my God, did you see that?" Kang Zhi looked embarrassed. "Yesterday, I borrowed "Parenting Book" to read. It turned out that something was caught in the book, and I was curious what it was." I tried to force a smile.

"Although Meiji is much better now, when she was three years old, she had severe allergies, she was itchy and cried, and everyone looked at her like a monster when she went out. I was also very distressed. At that time, I found that advertisement in a bookstore At that time, I only wanted to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. In the end, it turned out to be a suspicious group." I was very relieved that the topic was changed from the newspaper, so I also echoed vigorously. "I thought it was selling natural food and Chinese medicine by mail order, but it turned out not. It seems that there is a group of people living in the deep mountains. They tried their best to persuade me to join, which made me feel weird. Like this, it is not now Is it very popular? You forgot, didn’t there used to be Miss Gu? She was from the French department, she was obsessed with some lectures.” Kang Zhi mentioned the name of an old classmate, and began to gossip about this person.

"This afternoon, I'm going to attend the teaching tour of Meiji Kindergarten, do you want to go together?" After talking about gossip about classmates, Kang Zhi spoke slowly.I said I'm going to stay here. After Kang Zhi went out, I couldn't stay any longer, so I took Kaoru out of the apartment.I put Kaoru on Miki's old hat, sat her in the baby carrier and wrapped her in a small quilt.That way, no one should be able to see Kaoru's face.Whether on the way to the station or on the tram, I always felt that someone was watching us carefully.I was worried about what to do if Kaoru cried again, but I didn't expect Kaoru to be in a good mood all the time, either smiling or staring at my face.

Arrive at the apartment after changing trams.I looked around, but I didn't see anyone watching here.The small refrigerators and quilts thrown in the garbage collection site were labeled with a warning that the bulky garbage must be handled separately.I walked by without seeing it, and opened the mailbox.Inside were a few flyers and a letter from the real estate agency.I stuffed it into my purse and hurried back to the station. Knowing that it should be impossible, the scene of the police surrounding Kang Zhi's house still lingers in his mind.I tried to tell myself that imagining was too naive, but I still couldn't erase it.

Will I be arrested?Will he be forced to separate from Kaoru?Kaoru has fallen asleep with her face pressed against my chest, and her right hand is still clutching my sweater.I cannot be arrested.I can't hand Kaoru over.Sooner or later, I have to leave Kangzhi's house.The question is, what do I do when I leave?
