Chapter 5 (Fives)

There are ambulances and police cars in the parking lot. Zhu Qiying said, "It's none of our business." As soon as we entered the area waiting to pick up the plane, there were airline staff holding up the sign of "Dr. Zhu Qidong". Susie knew something was wrong and immediately went up to meet her. The staff immediately pulled them to a corner, "Who are you, Dr. Zhu?" "younger sister." After checking the identity documents, the staff looked serious, "Dr. Zhu contracted the virus in other places and needs to be isolated. He will be the first to get off the plane and be transferred to the hospital."

Zhu Qiying stamped his feet, "I knew he would have this day." Suzie asked, "Your life is in danger. "We don't know that he was fine when he boarded the plane, but he suddenly developed a high fever midway, and he himself diagnosed the virus." Susie turned her head, "Qiying, notify your father immediately." Qiying immediately took out his mobile phone. The plane landed, and Zhu Qidong took a wheelchair in an ambulance on another passage. Su Xi wanted to go up to say hello, but was stopped by the police, but Zhu Qidong still saw her. Suzie signed "Don't worry, I love you."

Zhu Qidong nodded. The ambulance drove away quickly. Qiying said, "We'll go to the hospital to see him." She was already pale with nervousness. Zhu Lisheng arrived earlier than the two girls. Susie saw him having a secret conversation with the doctor, with his head lowered all the time, but his tall and strong back was strong and reliable, so Susie was half relieved. Susie rushed forward and asked, "What's the disease?" The doctor looked up. "Flesh-eating bacteria." Suzy covered her mouth with her hands and took two steps back. Qiying had never heard of this kind of bacteria, so she stepped forward and asked the doctor: "Shangguan, what kind of infectious disease is it? Please say it again."

"It is a strange disease that can be fatal if not properly treated within forty-eight hours. The bacteria quickly erode the skin and muscles and spread throughout the body." Qiying trembled all over, "How is the situation in Qidong?" "Fortunately, it has been brought under control. This is the first case of this kind in this city. After consultation with a group of doctors, Qidong is considered life-threatening. However, the bacteria invaded the left leg of the fairy, and there must be an ugly giant scar in the future." Susie shed tears, not from fear, but from relief.

Zhu Lisheng nodded, "I want to see him." "Not today, come tomorrow morning when the hospital is ready." Dr. Shangguan turned his head and walked away, suddenly remembered something, and turned back again. "You are Suzie?" There was a smile on his face. Susie nodded, she had been fighting with Dr. Shangguan for a long time. I could only hear Shangguan say, "Zhu Qidong's heart belongs to you." Susie stood still, until Qiying called her: "Susie, I Let's go home first. " Suzy called back to the company to ask for leave. Zhu Lisheng said to her, "Susie, come to my house, we need to get through this together."

Susie had no objection, she didn't want to spend the night alone. Qiying took her into the guest room. "Susie, you can rest as you please and treat it as your own home." Susie was moved and hugged Qiying. This family is so cute, and it is a blessing to be part of them. Qiying said to her father, "Let's inform mother." "No, I will tell her the details after meeting Qidong tomorrow. There is not enough information now, which will cause her to panic." How thoughtful. The father and daughter gently closed the door of the guest room. Susie stood in front of the window looking at the scenery, the window happened to be facing the swimming pool, she was very godlike, she was extremely tired, she fell asleep on the bed with all her clothes down.

Although it was a strange place, she felt very safe. In this home, no one could hurt Zhu Lisheng in her early years. Ever since she was a child, she had always hoped that she could sleep comfortably like this, and today her wish came true. She didn't know how long she slept, but it was already dark when she woke up. Susie washed her face and walked downstairs, only then did she have the opportunity to appreciate the pure modern decoration of Zhu's house. The hall was not lit, and seeing someone in the study, Susie walked over. Seeing Zhu Lisheng working at his desk, she coughed lightly by the door.

Zhu Lisheng raised his head. "Susie, please come in." Suzy sat down on the sofa. He poured a cup of black coffee for Susie, "There is news from the hospital that Qidong is in stable condition." Suzy snapped, "You Yuan talking to him?" "Not yet, you can visit him at six o'clock tomorrow morning." Susie nodded, "This time it's safe and sound." Zhu Lisheng smiled wryly, "Last year a flood broke out somewhere in Danzania, Africa, and the whole town was flooded, and it was besieged for ten days and nights. He was there."

"It's worrying to be so selfless." "The children have grown up and have other thoughts. His mother often blames me for not strict discipline, but I am in favor of free development." This may also be one of the reasons for the couple to break up. Zhu Lisheng held up the pastry and handed it to Susie. Suzy picks out a piece of chocolate cake. This is the good thing about being young, no matter how you eat, you will not gain weight, and no matter how you dress up, you will look good. Seeing Zhu Lisheng staring at her, Susie was a little embarrassed. "Is there any music?"

"Please help yourself." Turning on the radio, a burst of explosive music came out. "What is this?" Zhu Lisheng asked with a smile. Suzy shrugged, "I also have a generation gap. It's teenage kids listening to music. The band is like the dead." "Has such a name?" "They have no taboo, and there is a team called the walking dead." Zhu Lisheng laughed in horror. Susie smiled gently, "So, it doesn't matter if Qidong only goes to the Amazon Basin." Zhu Lisheng smiled, "With your child, the room is full of sunshine."

Suzie is not ashamed to say, "The teacher has said that since the first grade of elementary school." "Your father was lucky." "I rarely see him." "Compared to you, Qiying is much more subtle." "She is a delicate girl," suddenly remembered, "Where is she?, "I just felt unwell and vomited, now I'm resting in my room." "I'll go back to the bedroom and not interfere with your work." Zhu Lisheng asked: "What time do you want to eat?", "Seven o'clock." Unexpectedly, at 7 o'clock, a servant brought a dinner to her dormitory. A small bowl of exquisite shark fin, a plate of fried vegetables, and a steamed fish. Susie had thought that she could share a meal with their father and daughter. Susie found a stack of Hitchcock videotapes and watched them one by one until daybreak. Zhu Qiying gently opened the door, "You haven't slept either?" "Worried, how to sleep." "Last night, I thought that one doesn't have to be rich, it's enough to sleep peacefully for the rest of your life." "Who said no." Susie and Qiying talk very speculatively. She sent her a change of clothes, "Don't be disgusted." "how come." Susie showered and changed, and put on Qiying's white shirt and blue trousers, which fit perfectly. Zhu Lisheng was waiting for them downstairs. A family of three went out to see Zhu Qidong. I feel relieved when I see it, Qidong is still in good spirits when talking through the glass. Qiying never forgets to be mischievous: "I can't kiss now." The wound on the leg is hidden from view. Susie pressed her hand on the glass, and Qidong quickly pressed her hand, palm to palm, with silent comfort. Qiying asked: "When did you two get engaged?" Qidong smiled, "We'll talk about it after we get out of the hospital." Susie wanted to argue, but today is really not the time, the other party narrowly escaped death, how dare she have a showdown at this moment. Let's put it aside. "Tell mom yourself." But Qidong said: "No, I'm fine. Why did you tell her to rush back? Mother's nervousness is different from other people's. It's extremely tragic. Don't let her come back." She knows, that is to say, she has done her filial piety. " That makes sense, and it passed unanimously. Suzy said, "I'll come back in the afternoon." Go back to the company directly, and someone calls her as soon as she walks through the door. Looking up, he found that it was Su Zhou. Suzy quickly took her hand. Su Zhou smiled, "It's really because of you, you still come to work early today." Susie hurriedly asked, "Can you find me?" "I've come to say goodbye." "Where are you going again, can your body handle it?" "My mother asked me to study in New York." Suzy was silent. "Last time I asked Su Jin to go, now it's my turn again, we are not worthy to stay by her side, she can't tolerate us." This lady is really difficult to live with. "Su Zhou, take care of yourself." "I've contacted a good psychiatrist." "I can rest assured that." "Susie, please keep an eye on Su Jin for me. She has been in contact with a suspicious painter recently." That man is a painter?Suzy thought. "I'll help with eyes." It's a strange question, and a strange answer. Susie has nothing to do with them. How can I help? "There is no warmth in the house." "Listen to the cliché." "This is real." Suzy sighed, "Well, let me tell you for nothing, my family is the same, and I'm beginning to suspect that most families in the world are like this." "It's all because of a man who is not responsible for his feelings." Su Zhou said softly. Well said. But that's their dad. Susie said: "When I was young, my house never celebrated the New Year, and it was deserted. I most yearned to be like the children on the cover of Children's Paradise, wearing red clothes, eating rice cakes, beaming with joy, and going to New Year's greetings with their parents." The four eyes of the two sisters suddenly turned red. She stood up and said goodbye. Suzy walks her to the elevator lobby. Su Zhou suddenly spread his hands and handed something back to Su Xi. The elevator door opened, Su Zhou walked in, and the elevator went down. Susie stared blankly at the palm of her hand. It was a women's diamond watch. Susie recognized that it belonged to her colleague Ms. Jiang. , very mysterious, with this ability, you will not be lonely when you arrive in New York. Back at the company, I saw that Ms. Jiang was sweating profusely. Someone asked her, "Are you sure you were still on your wrist just now?" Susie smiled and asked, "But looking for this?" "Oh." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "I was washing my hands and asked Shide." Ms. Jiang resentfully said, "The clasp of this watch doesn't work, I want to complain," and said happily, "Thank you, Suzy, you are my lucky boy." At noon, Su Xi went to visit Zhu Qidong. He's reading a book, filling it up with a highlighter, apparently studying his homework. The leg that had undergone surgery was tightly bandaged and set aside like a separate package. "Qidong." She called him and tapped on the glass lightly. He looks up. Suzie made a gesture that said "you look good". Zhu Qidong asked in surprise, "Do you know sign language?" "There are only so many. Like my French, it is really limited." Zhu Qidong smiled, "You always surprise me." "Are you in good spirits?" "Shang Ke, Qiying went to London early in the morning, and she asked me to say goodbye to you." "What's up?" "It's a big deal for her. There is a batch of Ming Dynasty furniture for sale at Christie's auction house, and she must rush to appreciate it." "Little princess." Susi Yaoer. The nurse came over and smiled at Susie, "Dr. Zhu's condition is improving rapidly." "His legs..." "Fortunately, it's a boy, but if it's a girl, it's hard to avoid scars when you wear a skirt. It's cheaper to be a man, don't you think so?" "How big is this scar?" "A quarter of the muscle in the leg was removed. Dr. Zhu will have to do physical therapy regularly for the next year." Zhu Qidong said: "You see my girlfriend has changed color, please don't scare her." The nurse smiled, "Miss Su is not such a superficial person." Susie also laughed, "No, no, I'm most greedy for beauty." Just being happy, a voice came from behind: "What are you talking about? A room full of laughter." Zhu Lisheng has arrived. "Dad, just in time, I have to check the wound, you go to have a cup of tea with Suzie." Zhu Lisheng turned his head, "Is Suzie free?" "You can't ask for it." Susie smiled and went out with Zhu Lisheng. Zhu Lisheng said: "Susie, wherever you are, there is laughter." "Really, I'm hopeless by nature." "It's a very rare character." Suzy smiled, "Actually, I'm not stupid or stupid, but I seriously feel that as long as there is a little joy in life, one should be grateful." Zhu Lisheng nodded. He took her to the private tea room attached to the office. The place is quiet, with long windows opening out, it is a rooftop garden, and the entire metropolis is at your feet. "gorgeous." "At the beginning of the design, the architect did not agree." "That must be a layman." Zhu Lisheng smiled, "Compared to Qidong, I'm also vulgar." "Qidong is a different kind of person." Zhu Lisheng suddenly asked: "Is he suitable for you?" "Qiying said no." "What do you think yourself?" "I'm a mortal, and I always hope that my boyfriend will take me around to have fun, talk and laugh with me, no, I don't think he is suitable for me, his partner must know how to sacrifice." Zhu Lisheng stared at her, "You plan to explain to him." Susie was very blunt, "We'll talk about it when he gets out of the hospital." Strange, how can you be so honest with your boyfriend's father. "You will be tactful." "No, there's no need to beat around the bush. Don't hesitate to misunderstand him. Just be straightforward. We don't have a deep relationship. He won't be hurt. At most, he will be a little disappointed." She had a real estimate of the situation. Zhu Lisheng let go of most of his heart. Then he asked abruptly: "What conditions does your future object need?" Suzy grinned and didn't answer. Zhu Lisheng was a little embarrassed. After a while, he heard Susie answer in a low voice: "He needs to be rich in life, know how to enjoy himself, and of course he must have a financial foundation, huh, and dote on me." Zhu Lisheng was very careful. He said: "The request is very reasonable." Susie smiled, "My mother said that I was too extravagant." Zhu Lisheng was silent. "I've always found it difficult to tell my boyfriend about my background." "Why bother to explain?" "But I want him to know." Zhu Lisheng was surprised. "I long to talk." "Your parentage is no big deal." "There are a lot of parents who would have been dissatisfied." "That's not a good family either." Suzy lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyelashes. The Zhu family couldn't have been more ideal. If they want to find a home, Zhu Qidong is really the best person. He doesn't have time to accompany her, she can find entertainment by herself, but Susie finds that she is a bit old-fashioned, she thinks that with the same person, she must love that person. This is really a tragedy of character. There is haze in the sky of the city, which is as confused as her mood. "I have to go back." "I see you off." He drives the car himself. "Are you going back to the company?" "Just take me home, I'll show you something." Only part-time workers in the house are using the vacuum cleaner. She invited him into the study, found a small shoe box, opened it, and took out four clay dolls with great care. "Look, the four masters and apprentices are safe and sound." Zhu Lisheng was so moved that he couldn't speak. On the one hand, he felt that time flies, and the little baby back then has become a grown woman. How did the ten or twenty years pass? It's easy: work, parenting, and another divorce, all reimbursed. Time is spent faster than money, and it swings out like water. Zhu Lisheng remembered this small bedroom, which was simple in equipment but very tidy, and all the gadgets that little girls loved were placed on the desk, which was interesting and cute. Susie is grown up now. He smiled slightly, his nose was sore, but he knew how to disguise himself, he said: "It's a pity that the bone spirit is gone." Susie was taken aback, "What are you talking about? There are only four of them, no Bone Demon." Although the tone was affirmative, beads of sweat came out of the tip of his nose. Zhu Lisheng smiled, "Look at you, so nervous." Suzie got angry, "You fix me." "I didn't expect you to like them so much." "Later, when I grew up, I also asked my friends to find them for me. But maybe the master craftsmen have retired, the styling is not naive enough, and the handwork is too pretty. I am very disappointed, and I still play this way." The doll's eyes and nose are blurred. "You like the Monkey King story." "Yes, Wukong has always been my idol." Zhu Lisheng said with a smile: "I also appreciate his ability to adapt." Suzy checked the time, "I have to go back to work." When they left, the workers were still vacuuming, as if they had stayed there for an unknown amount of time, but only for ten minutes. Suzy sat in her office, restless. She was immersed in her work, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, she raised her head, "Who?" Nobody, she was alone in the room. She tried to concentrate, but after a while, she heard the voice again: "Susie". Susie panicked. She stood up abruptly. She knew who the haunting voice in her head belonged to. Things like this should never happen. She made a cup of black coffee and drank it, feeling better. The secretary came in at this time. "Miss Su, someone sent this box of gifts, and you must sign for it yourself." Susie saw that the small box was nothing special, and there was no card. She signed for the book. Open it and look, stunned. A set of five clay dolls, one of which is the Bone Demon. The secretary snorted when he saw it, "It's so cute, Monkey King beats the Bone Demon three times." Susie coughed, and the secretary walked away. Not a single word, yes, no words at all. This set must be Zhu Lisheng's collection, and it will be given to her today. Susie took it home carefully. Suddenly, it seemed that someone called her: "Susie." This time she bravely responded, "Yes, I'm here." As if a hand was pressed on her shoulder, she hesitated for a moment, but did not dodge. This is not depravity, this is simply crime.
