Meng Lanting felt a little more comfortable, and thought it would be impolite to continue pretending to sleep like this, so he got up, got dressed, and went to the living room.
Xi Songzhou was listening to Mrs.
Zhou talking about what happened last night, with a solemn look on his face.
Suddenly he saw Meng Lanting coming out and hurriedly got up from his chair to greet her.
Meng Lanting sat on a chair diagonally opposite him.
Mrs.
Zhou looked at her face and said, "It's better than last night, but it's still not that good.
I need to rest."
Then he pointed to a bag of fresh fruits and a bouquet of flowers on the table and said, "Song Zhou just returned to Shanghai.
I heard that you took leave today and didn't go to school.
I was worried and came to see you right away.
It was also thoughtful."
"If you feel tired, don't worry about me.
Go back to sleep."
Xi Songzhou stared at her slightly pale face and said.
Meng Lanting smiled: "I'm much better now.
Thank you Mr.
Xi for coming to see me."
Mrs.
Zhou came over, put a shawl on her shoulders, and sighed: "Although there was no danger of what happened last night, I'm still scared when I think about it.
First, I'm lucky that you answered the phone and informed me in time.
Second, it's still...
Thanks to you.
When Chen Qingqing and the others saw that you didn’t go to school today, they came to see you at noon.
When they saw that you were still asleep, they didn’t bother you and sat there for a while before leaving. " Mrs.
Zhou's face showed a strong look of disgust mixed with fear.
"They said that not only the police, but also the military police headquarters were dispatched.
They were just a group of students.
Why would they dispatch these living hell-eaters who eat people without spitting out their bones?
If it weren't for Lan Ting who was so resourceful and courageous to come forward last night, After saving the scene last night, I really didn’t know what the outcome would be.
I was so scared when I thought about it that I couldn’t sleep well all night.”
Mrs.
Zhou was reading in her ears, but Meng Lanting listened a little absent-mindedly, and felt even more uneasy that she was promoting herself in such a way.
What she did was just her best effort based on her own conscience.
More importantly, putting all the credit on herself seemed inconsistent with the truth, which really made her uneasy.
But after all, it was just her own doubts.
In front of the two of them, she naturally couldn't say anything more and said hurriedly: "I just tried my best.
I hope everyone is fine."
"The Military Police Headquarters certainly has a bad reputation, but come to think of it, not everyone is born a vicious person.
I came back late last night, and there was something else I didn't say."
Meng Lanting thought for a moment and recounted what Ma Liu had said to him after he came back last night.
Mrs.
Zhou looked a little surprised when she heard this and said "Eh".
Xi Songzhou nodded: "That's very good.
I completely agree.

When I get back, I will help you pass the message to them.
Don't worry."
Meng Lanting thanked him.
Xi Songzhou shook his head: "Compared to you, what have I done?
No need to thank you.
If I had known that such a thing would happen, I would not have gone back to Nanjing."
Mrs.
Zhou shook her head: "Forget it, let's not talk about it.
Lanting, are you hungry?
Chat with Songzhou and I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Mrs.
Zhou went to the kitchen, but Professor Zhou had not returned yet.
Only Meng Lanting and Xi Songzhou were left in the living room.
The afternoon sun shines in from the window in the living room that is nailed with green gauze.
Dust particles float up and down in the beam of light.
The living room is so quiet that the only sound left is the ticking sound of the clock on the wall.
Meng Lanting glanced at Xi Songzhou and met his gaze directed at her.
For some reason, he gave her the feeling that he felt much more relaxed after returning from his trip to Nanjing.
"Ms.
Meng, if you don't mind, can I call you Lanting from now on?
I hope you will use my name instead of calling me sir."
He said suddenly.
"I think we can be considered friends."
He added with a smile.
Meng Lanting was startled, then smiled: "Okay."
Xi Songzhou seemed very happy.
After talking for a while with Meng Lanting about mathematics teaching, he suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "Lanting, I don't know if Professor Zhou has mentioned it to you.
This year, there will also be a qualifying test for Tsinghua University Preparatory School.
Applicants are not limited to Tsinghua University, Professor Zhou also There are recommended places.
After taking the exam, those with excellent scores will get a valuable opportunity to study for a degree at a famous university in the United States.
Although the admission places are very few, I think you can give it a try given your talent in mathematics.
It’s like a pearl covered in dust, it’s such a pity.”
Meng Lanting was startled.
A few years ago, I gave up the opportunity to study abroad that I had obtained through the provincial examination.
Although it was completely voluntary at the time, I was not unwilling at all.
The purpose of reference at the beginning was not so much that I was bound to win, but rather to test the waters.
But from the bottom of my heart, sometimes it is a pity to think about it.
She was indeed a little tempted by Xi Songzhou's proposal.
But when she thought of her younger brother, who still had no news, she gave up the idea.
"Let's wait until I have news about my brother."
Xi Songzhou nodded: "Understood.
I hope to know the news about your brother's whereabouts sooner."
Mrs.
Zhou came out of the kitchen with noodles in her hands and asked Xi Songzhou to eat with her.
Xi Songzhou declined and stood up to leave, saying she would go back to talk to the students first.

Mrs.
Zhou knew that the matter was important and did not force him to stay.
She sent him out herself.
When she came back, she smiled at Meng Lanting and said, "Lanting, I am really happy for Songzhou.
Because you were not familiar with each other before, I didn't mention it to you.
He When he went abroad, his family decided to make an engagement for him.
They were originally supposed to get married after returning from school, but unfortunately the woman passed away during the process.
When he came back a year ago, his mother arranged another marriage for him, but Songzhou no longer agreed, and there has been a stalemate with his family this time.
He finally got his family’s consent.”
"You also know that at his age, many people and children are running around.
When his mother saw that he refused to get married, it was inevitable that she would be anxious.
Fortunately, this time, I don't know how he told his family, but his mother finally agreed It’s really a good thing not to force him anymore.”
Meng Lanting thought of the different feeling Xi Songzhou gave him just now, and his uncharacteristic suggestion of calling each other by their first names, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.
Not knowing what to say for a moment, he fell silent.
"You should go rest and recover as soon as possible.
Your health is important."
Mrs.
Zhou tested the temperature of her forehead and urged her lovingly.
Meng Lanting nodded gratefully to Mrs.
Zhou and returned to his room.
After two more days of rest, after all, he was young and in good health.
Meng Lanting recovered from his illness quickly and continued to return to school.
Perhaps the experience that night was too frightening, or perhaps the words Xi Songzhou conveyed had an effect, and the students suspended their activities.
Meng Lanting traveled between the university and the Zhou family every day, contacting newspapers to publish advertisements, and secretly looking forward to news about the Feng family.
Just like that, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, the season entered mid-May, and her life seemed to be back to normal.
The only new variable was that she began to avoid meeting Xi Songzhou alone.
In the meantime, she had received several invitations from Mr.
Gu to go to dinner or dance, but she rejected them because of her busy schedule. .
That evening, Feng Kezhi returned to Feng Mansion from the headquarters.
This is also the first time he has returned in the past ten days after going out to arrest people that night.
There is only more than half a month left before the military competition at the end of the month, and he is very busy.
In fact, being busy is a good thing.
When you have something to do, you don’t have time to think about things.
When Feng's mother heard the sound of his car driving in, she immediately ran out of the living room and saw Feng Kezhi getting out of the car from a distance.
Before she could see the person clearly, she started complaining.
"Oh, my young master, it's only been a few days, and you're so dark and thin.
How on earth do people over there send you to do things?
What's the matter?
My aunts don't care about it."
Feng Kezhi threw the dirty clothes bag he brought back into Feng's mother's hand and walked quickly inside.
When he entered the living room, he saw Feng Lingmei sitting there.
He didn't stop and flew past her, saying: " Eighth sister, why are you coming home so early today?
I'm not home for dinner.
Just grab some clothes and leave.
I'm so busy."

Feng Lingmei is also a busy person and has many social interactions.
At this point, she is rarely seen at home.
Feng Kezhi all passed by her, and one of his long legs stepped on the stairs.
He suddenly stopped, turned his head, glanced at her, hesitated, and asked, "What happened?"
Feng Lingmei looked solemn, as if she was worried.
She frowned and said nothing.
Feng Kezhi came back and sat next to her.
"What's the matter?
Tell me" Feng Lingmei glanced at her brother and said, "Miss Meng's brother has been found."
Feng Kezhi was stunned, the playful look on his face suddenly disappeared, and he stared at her closely: "Where is he?"
Feng Lingmei sighed: "Dad called me today and said that he had found out the news about Lan Ting's brother.
Two years ago, he interrupted his studies midway.
On the first day he returned to Shanghai, he went north with several young people on the same boat to participate in the Battle of the Great Wall, he” Feng Lingmei stopped.
Feng Kezhi's eyes suddenly darkened.
"died in battle" "Many people died in that battle, and many of the participants were volunteers, so the list is incomplete.
After the war, the bodies of many martyrs could not be identified, and they were all buried together."
"Is the news confirmed?"
After a pause, Feng Kezhi asked.
Feng Lingmei nodded: "Dad, through many connections, finally found a survivor at that time a few days ago.
According to that person, he met Lan Ting's younger brother during the war, and he was not on the list of survivors after the war.
There are eighty-nine, so they should be gone.”
"Dad was afraid that Lan Ting would be sad when she heard the news, so he specifically told me to tell her slowly when I get the chance.
I don't even know how to say it."
Feng Lingmei rubbed her forehead in annoyance: "Forget it, it's useless to tell you.
Anyway, you and her are not interested in each other.
I'll figure it out myself."
Feng Kezhi was silent for a moment, stood up from the sofa, walked upstairs, walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Eighth sister, don't tell Miss Meng about this now."
"Dad probably means the same thing.
I'm just suggesting it."
Seeing Feng Lingmei raise her eyes to look at him, Feng Kezhi hurriedly added.
Feng Lingmei sighed: "You don't need to tell me, I know it.
I'll see what the chance is."
Feng Kezhi stopped talking, quickly went up the stairs, returned to the room, and took a shower.
Feng's mother had already helped him pack the clothes he wanted to take away.
A dozen brand new, ironed shirts with straight creases were neatly folded and put into the box along with other clothing.
The box is next to the door.
Feng Kezhi sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the bright floor in front of his feet, motionless.
A faint scent of flowers drifted in from the open window.
Feng Kezhi suddenly remembered the day when he first met the Meng family's daughter.
When he forcibly held her braid and cut it off, she held back tears, but the tears filled her long eyelashes.
It appeared clearly before his eyes, like a movie scene.
She looked so beautiful even when she cried.
But he didn't want to see her cry again.
Feng Kezhi was upset again, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the place he couldn't see in the distance.
So many days have passed since the last time I saw her.

He suddenly wanted to know what she was doing and thinking about tonight, at this moment.
The moment this idea emerged from his mind, it suddenly became urgent and he simply couldn't suppress it.
It was getting dark.
When Feng Lingmei saw that her brother hadn't left, she asked Feng's mother to call him down for dinner.
Then she looked up and saw him carrying his suitcase and walking downstairs.
"I said Xiaojiu, you won't really work so hard, will you?
It's just one night, what does it matter.
At least eat first."
"I'll go to the headquarters to eat.
Sister Eight, you can eat by yourself."
Feng Kezhi left without looking back.
After a while, he heard the sound of a car starting in the courtyard.
Feng Lingmei sighed helplessly.
There are always so many things to worry about.
The old one hasn't been solved yet, and the new one has come again.
There was something going on at school tonight, and Meng Lanting was busy until almost eight o'clock before he finished his day's work.
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and when it gets dark, there are more people on this tree-lined avenue than during the day.
Old students, young men and women in love, and people living nearby all gathered on this road, walking in the gentle night breeze, talking, and saying sweet words of love that made people feel flustered.
It was already half past eight when Meng Lanting returned to Zhou's house.
Professor Zhou was in the study, and Mrs.
Zhou went to Wang's house next door to play mahjong, leaving rice in the pot for Meng Lanting.
Meng Lanting ate, washed the dishes, and saw that the garbage in the kitchen had not been emptied, so he picked it up, opened the door and went out, walked towards the nearby garbage house, and threw it back.
When he was approaching the door of his house, he heard something dozens of meters away.
The sound of playing mahjong tiles and laughter came from Mrs.
Wang's house.
She turned around and took a casual look.
Suddenly, at the end of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the corner of the wall at the entrance of the alley not far away.
The man smoked, and the cigarette butt glowed red in the night.
It was this bit of red light that made her vision freeze.
The streetlight at the entrance of the alley was broken, like a malaria patient, turning on and off sometimes.
When it is bright, the dim light can still shine into the alley entrance.
When it's not lit, it's pitch black.
The moment Meng Lanting turned his head, the street light blinked and then went out.
But just such a brief illumination made Meng Lanting's heart skip a beat.
She felt that the figure was familiar.
A name immediately emerged from my heart.
Her first reaction was that it was impossible, and she suspected that she had seen it wrong.
But he couldn't help but stop, turned his head, and took another look.
The other party seemed to realize that he was observing, and suddenly turned around, as if he wanted to leave.
But Meng Lanting has become more and more certain about that figure.
After a slight hesitation, he took two steps after him and said softly: "Is this Mr.
Feng?"
Feng Kezhi's footsteps froze, and he had to turn around slowly, looking at the girl walking towards him. gd1806102:
