Before I could make the decision to confess, I answered the call from Mi Cai while the ringtone of my cell phone. She was indeed more anxious than me. She asked me on the phone: "Are you very busy today?"

"Well, there have been people from photography shops coming to the coffee shop to take pictures this afternoon. By the way, the waiter has been recruited and will be officially opened for two days."

"Oh, that's great!" After stopping, Mi Cai asked again: "What are you doing this morning?"

"I feel uncomfortable and have been drinking water in the clinic."

Mi Cai's tone became more concerned: "Why are you uncomfortable? Are you suffering from the cold?"

"It's just a little hot, and the water has gone down after the dripping. Don't worry... Are you still having fun in Yangzhou?"

Mi Cai said with obvious emotion: "Unhappy..."

"Why are you unhappy?"

"Because you don't care about me at all, Zhaoyang... Whether I go to the United States or other places, do you remember that you have called me several times, sent a few messages, and followed my movements? ... Sometimes I also wonder if other couples are like this, or are you full of personality and just keep everything in your heart and never want to express it?"

Her question made me feel a little nervous and tried hard to explain: "When you were in the United States, there was a jet lag between us, and I was afraid of disturbing your work. It's not that I don't care about you... Micai, don't have these unfounded questions between us, okay? You know I care about you very much."

Mi Cai was silent, but I didn't dare to confess to her about seeing Jian Wei in Suzhou last night. At least I couldn't confess to her anger. So I lowered my head and said nothing, but there was a violent cough. After the cough ended, I felt the heavy head again, fearing the cold in winter.

Mi Cai finally gave up on her questioning of me and said to me with distress: "If you are not feeling well, go back early to rest. Let my aunt cook some ginger soup for you to get rid of the cold air. You can't get rid of the cold air in your body by just taking dripping water." Suddenly, she asked as if she remembered something, "By the way, have my aunt and uncle come back from visiting relatives in the countryside?"

"I'll probably come back tonight... You should accompany Mr. An, don't worry about me, I can take good care of myself. After all, I have lived outside alone for so many years, so I still have the ability to take care of myself."

Mi Cai felt a little relieved, and after a few more words of advice, she hung up the phone. When I put down the phone, I felt my hands and feet cold, but sweat was on my forehead. Life experience told me that the high fever was back...

When night fell, I closed the door of the coffee shop, tied up my scarf, put on gloves, rode an electric bike, and drove on the loneliest road, hoping to return to the heated home quickly. At this time, I was also very depressed in addition to the headache and mental health. I slept too little last night.

......

When I got home, I found ginger and brown sugar, and waited by the gas stove with my energy. However, except for the beating flames and rising heat, everything in front of me was still. I inevitably thought a lot in the stillness. I was very sorry that the days after returning to Xuzhou were not as gentle as I thought. All this stems from my inability to completely get rid of the entanglement of the city of Suzhou.

In a daze, the ginger soup cooked in the pot was already boiling. I rushed to turn off the gas stove, found another soup bowl, poured the very sticky ginger soup in, and then sat alone in the living room waiting for the ginger soup to cool slightly.

I finally picked up the ginger soup and took a sip. The astringent, spicy and hot taste made me feel very uncomfortable, but I still endured the big gulp and finished it until I felt sweat coming out of my body. Then I stopped smacking my lips...

Feeling the ginger soup that plays a role in my body, I stopped again, looking at the moonlight outside the window in a daze, spreading on the purple sheets hanging on the hanging. I once again felt the reality of life. It really bothers me, it really makes me feel at a loss, but I have always pretended to be fearless. In fact, I am afraid, fearing the thorns in life, fearing farewell, fearing meeting, fearing farewell and meeting again.

With a sigh, I drank the remaining ginger soup in the soup bowl, too lazy to clean up anything, and pierced myself on the bed, covered myself tightly with a quilt, waiting for the damn anxiety and uneasiness to leave my body with sweat.

In the feeling of sweat, my consciousness gradually blurred, and then I fell into a coma, but I was not sleeping soundly, constantly dreaming, and constantly feeling that I was living alternately in the ice cellar and the stove...

It was not until I felt a soft hand on my forehead that I woke up from my bad sleep, so her familiar figure appeared in my sight, and we asked almost at the same time: "Why are you back?"

"Do you feel better?"

Mi Cai was more anxious than me, so she replied in a reproachful tone before me: "You are sick, how can I stay in Yangzhou so peacefully? Fortunately, I am back, otherwise I wouldn't know that you are still having a fever...!"

I smiled and said, "I'm really fine. After sweating so much, I feel much more relaxed all over now, and the fever should have subsided!"

Mi Cai brought me a set of clean underwear and signaled me to change it quickly, so that I would not let the damp underwear cover myself and catch a cold. After I changed my underwear, I brought a thermometer to take my body temperature until I was sure that my body temperature had returned to normal, and the nervous expression on my face disappeared.

I sat in the living room, and Mi Cai replaced the bed sheets and quilt covers that had been stained with sweat in the room. At this moment, she became very virtuous because the millet porridge cooked in the rice cooker was the best manifestation. I felt the warmth of the two of them together, and this is what I wanted to pursue after returning to Xuzhou. I don’t want to have too many dreams at night. I want to marry her and then tie each other’s lives together in a marriage relationship.

I decided to tell her the news that her mother was going back to China again... because if our marriage relationship was recognized by her mother, it would be the most perfect.

A moment later, the millet porridge was prepared. She filled a bowl for me and a bowl for herself. We sat at the dining table and ate with pancakes and a few side dishes...

After making enough mental preparations, I finally spoke to her and said, "A few days ago, Chen Jingming called me, but he couldn't contact you. I asked me to tell you something, but in fact I told me."

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Mi Cai didn't care too much, she didn't stop eating.

After relaxing in my heart, I replied: "He said... your mother would return to China before the New Year. The purpose is to find you. I hope we are all mentally prepared!"
