"Um, would Zhou Runfa's parent please come here? There are two documents that need your signature."

"............" Zhou Ze.

He walked over,

signed,

The homeroom teacher was a young woman. She specifically asked why the child's surname was "Zhou" while the father's was "Xu."

Zhou Ze replied, "He takes after his mother."

The female teacher nodded sympathetically,

and enthusiastically added Zhou Ze's WeChat,

simultaneously pulling Zhou Ze's WeChat into the "Second Grade, Class Two Parents Group."

Zhou Ze was momentarily dazed.

A strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart: I actually have a parents' WeChat group.

The entire process came to an end.

On the way back, he passed the classroom door.

It was recess.

The children were playing outside.

Zhou Ze saw his own kid sitting there, staring blankly at Wang Rui.

Love has caused regret since ancient times;

Wang Rui was eating an egg yolk pie, taking a bite and wiping her mouth with a tissue. She noticed that the new boy had been staring at her, making her feel self-conscious while eating.

After a while,

Wang Rui took the initiative to walk over and placed an egg yolk pie on the little boy's desk.

"Here, have some."

The little boy was stunned for a moment, nodded, and actually picked it up.

Zhou Ze stood by the window and called inside, "Hey, Runfa..."

The little boy turned his head to look at Zhou Ze.

"Study hard."

After saying that,

Zhou Ze left, because the Boss Zhou didn't know what else to say.

If Wang Ke knew that he had put a pig that was hundreds of years old inside his precious cabbage,

he didn't know what his reaction would be.

When he returned to the car, he realized it was almost noon.

Driving back, Zhou Ze happened to pass Doctor Lin's private hospital before getting on the elevated highway.

Thinking about what his sister-in-law had said last night,

Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment,

and at the next fork in the road, he turned left and drove into the hospital.

After buying two fruit baskets and a case of milk, Zhou Ze carried them into the inpatient building.

He inquired at the front desk and learned that his father-in-law was in a special ward.

He took the elevator up, and after reaching the floor, he walked to the ward door.

Private hospitals were profit-driven, so there were very few wards on this floor, all of which were single rooms. Of course, the prices were also very high. Those who could afford to stay here were all wealthy.

Well, his father-in-law was staying in his own hospital, so he must be staying here.

After thinking for a while,

he pushed open the ward door.

His father-in-law was sleeping, hooked up to an IV drip. On the accompanying bed was a half-knitted sweater, indicating that his mother-in-law was taking care of him, but she wasn't there now.

Zhou Ze didn't say anything. He put down the fruit baskets and milk and walked out.

Then, without hesitation, he took the elevator all the way down, walked back to the parking lot, and got into his car.

Just as he was about to start the car and leave, his phone rang. It was Doctor Lin's call.

"Hello."

"Hello, you came, didn't you?"

"No."

"I just received a call from my mother saying that someone came to visit but left the things there and didn't even see anyone."

"It really wasn't me."

"Oh, okay, then it was a misunderstanding."

"Yeah."

He hung up the phone.

Zhou Ze stretched and drove out of the parking lot.

Honestly, he didn't know why he wanted to come here to see, nor did he understand why he had to buy a fruit basket and bring it up.

In fact, he had regretted it a little after entering the hospital.

People are selfish. It is best to enjoy all the benefits and not take on any responsibility. This kind of life is the most wonderful and comfortable.

Zhou Ze felt that lying on the sofa every day and watching people outside walking by busily

was truly an enjoyment.

He didn't want to turn himself into one of those busy people, whether it was because of a so-called career or so-called emotions.

Just as he drove the car out of the hospital gate, his phone rang again. It was still Doctor Lin's call.

"Hello, it really wasn't me."

"No, I wanted to ask you for a favor."

"Yeah, tell me."

"My dad has surgery this afternoon. I hope you can participate, Aze, help me."

"You know what my specialty is."

Heart surgery was not Boss Zhou's forte. Zhou Ze also believed that the Lin family must have already invited a medical expert in this field to do the flying knife (surgical assistance), to specifically preside over this surgery.

Doctor Lin's father had been the director of the hospital for half his life, and he also had the connections.

"If you're there, I can feel more at ease."

Doctor Lin's voice was a little soft, like a little girl, asking her father for a dress that the family's conditions didn't seem to allow.

The conversation was silent for more than ten seconds,

and finally,

"Okay."

Just like that,

Zhou Ze, who had just driven out, drove back again.

The security guard in the parking lot even took an extra look at Zhou Ze.

When he went up, Doctor Lin was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

White coat, black stockings, formal, but not without charm.

Seeing Zhou Ze, Doctor Lin took two steps forward and said softly:

"I want to hug you."

Zhou Ze didn't refuse.

Then, he was hugged, but it was just a brief embrace.

"Go wait in my office for a while. The surgery starts at one in the afternoon, soon. By the way, what do you want to eat now? I'll go prepare it."

"Anything is fine."

"Okay, good."

Zhou Ze walked into Doctor Lin's office. He had been to this office before. Doctor Lin had even invited him to continue working as a doctor here.

But Zhou Ze still refused.

Sitting down on the chair behind Doctor Lin's desk,

a little nurse walked over with a cup of coffee, placed the coffee on the desk, and left without saying a word.

Zhou Ze picked up the coffee,

took a sip,

huh,

It tastes the same as the coffee at his place.

Sitting in the chair, bored, Zhou Ze began to look around.

This was an office, but there was also a room inside, like a hotel room. When the hospital was busy, Doctor Lin stayed here.

Right,

Zhou Ze suddenly remembered the last time he was here,

he happened to see Doctor Lin standing behind her desk changing stockings.

Zhou Ze bent down and reached out to open the bottom drawer of the desk. He pulled it open, and inside were several unopened pairs of stockings.

"So lazy..."

Zhou Ze sighed.

He leaned to the right and opened the drawer on the right.

Huh!

There was a pair of worn black stockings inside.

"Too lazy..."

Zhou Ze reached out and held the stockings in his hand.

Despite his usual obsession with cleanliness,

he didn't feel any discomfort at this moment.

They must have been taken off in the last two days and not dealt with.

Fortunately,

Boss Zhou couldn't bring himself to put the socks to his nose and smell them. Of course, he was also afraid that someone would suddenly run in through the wide-open office door.

"This is what I got from the cafeteria."

Sure enough, Doctor Lin walked in with two lunch boxes, sitting face-to-face with Zhou Ze, preparing to eat.

She also brought two bottles of drinks. When she opened the can for Zhou Ze, she asked a little worriedly:

"Can you still eat now?"

"I'm fine."

The two sat face-to-face eating, without any sweet words or any affectionate gestures, just a very calm meal.

"Call me before the surgery starts, I'll go in with you."

"Okay."

Doctor Lin cleaned up the lunch boxes and put them in the trash can, then smiled at Zhou Ze and said, "Inside is my bedroom in the office, you can go rest for a while."

"Yeah, by the way, there's something I wanted to tell you."

"What is it?"

"After the surgery is over, hold a free clinic for a day or two, spend some money, do something."

There were three more words that Zhou Ze didn't say,

and that was "accumulate some merit."

"Okay."

Doctor Lin left. Her father's surgery was about to start, and she had a lot to take care of. Zhou Ze's last sentence inexplicably made her feel a little at ease.

She knew Zhou Ze's approximate identity. If he was willing to help, then her father's surgery shouldn't be a big problem.

But Doctor Lin suddenly felt that she was being quite shameless again, even though he had shown an attitude of coldly handling their relationship, she couldn't help but push herself forward.

This time,

she was asking him for help again for her father's sake.

She only wanted to do something for him, like opening a pharmacy or something. She didn't want any reward, nor did she want to extract any benefits from their already fragile relationship.

But on one side was her father,

she couldn't help it, and it was very difficult for her.

Zhou Ze silently played with the pen on the desk,

thinking that he would be standing next to her during the surgery.

If there was a problem with the surgery,

and his father-in-law's soul floated out,

then before he sent him back, could he first knead him like a ball?

Hehe,

that old man was quite interesting.

Leaning back,

with his feet propped up on the desk,

Zhou Ze's gaze subconsciously looked at those two drawers again,

then shook his head,

what was he doing,

how could he be so lewd,

and also,

how come he hadn't seen any pantyhose?

He lit a cigarette, not caring that this was a woman's office, and took out his phone.

The "Parents Group" he had just joined was already at "999+" now.

Did these parents not work? Were they just chatting nonsense in the group all day?

Zhou Ze opened the WeChat group.

His note had actually been changed to "Zhou Runfa's Dad."

This made Zhou Ze laugh and cry.

Chen Xiaomiao's Dad: "Teacher Zhu has been working hard recently. Teacher Zhu didn't even go out to play during the National Day holiday. She was tutoring our children. She's really working too hard."

Sun Yilong's Mom: "Yes, Teacher Zhu is so hardworking. It's all for the good of our children."

Zhao Wei's Dad: "That's right, we're discussing buying Teacher Zhu some gifts to give to the teacher."

Wang Qiang's Mom: "Yes, we parents will pool money together. This is our little token of appreciation for Teacher Zhu's hard work in teaching our children."

Liu Mingming's Dad: "I agree, but what should we buy?"

Xue Dekai's Dad: "Let's ask Teacher Zhu what she needs. Then we parents will pool money together to buy it for Teacher Zhu. No matter how expensive it is, it's just a little bit of sincerity from us parents. Compared to Teacher Zhu's hard work, it's not worth mentioning."

Zhao Wei's Dad: "That's right, not worth mentioning."

Zhou Runfa's Dad:

"I think Teacher Zhu is so young, she probably hasn't bought a house in the city yet, right?

Let's pool money together to help Teacher Zhu buy a house in the city!"

The group,

was dead silent...
