The whole afternoon, the seat next to Qin Zheng was empty.

She always felt lost in her heart, as empty as that seat.

This is not because of the close relationship between Qin Zheng and Tang Xu, but simply because Tang Xu is the person Qin Zheng is most familiar with in this class.

While Tang Xu is away, Qin Zheng is still busy dealing with the communication between female classmates. Socializing is a headache no matter what age group you are.

As the sun faded, Qin Zheng walked out of the gate of Full Stop High School, alone.

Walking alone on the road, Qin Zheng did not feel lonely, but she learned from her chat with Tang Xu last night that Tang Xu lived alone at home.

He also has a dog named Long Zai at home, but Long Zai can't take care of him...

That guy might have gone to the hospital to see a doctor. At this time, even if he was in the hospital with a sling, he should have finished and gone home...

Qin Zheng was a little worried in her heart. In addition, Tang Xu was fine during the day yesterday, and this happened the next day after he accompanied her to the night market. Although Qin Zheng didn't say it, she still felt a little bit deep in her heart.

Self-blaming.

In Qin Zheng's understanding, Tang Xu would have a high fever and fainted in the playground today, probably because he caught a cold after going to the night market with him last night.

Thinking this way, her pace quickened a bit.

Qin Zheng's house was not far from Tang Xu's cake shop, so she went straight to Tang Xu's house without even returning to her home after school.

His aunt worked in the cake shop downstairs, and Qin Zheng was afraid that her aunt would think too much, so she could only sneak up the stairs next to the cake shop, quickly go upstairs to Tang Xu's home on the second floor, and at the same time stretched out his hand.

Ringed the doorbell.

It didn't take long for the door to open. Qin Zheng originally thought that the person who opened the door was Tang Xu, but he found a dog standing at the entrance in front of him.

It looks a little indifferent, has black and white hair on its body, is not very big, and is just an ordinary domestic dog.

Qin Zheng learned from Tang Xu that its name was Long Zai.

Although she also learned from Tang Xu's mouth that the dragon cub had a dull temperament and hardly listened to anyone except Tang Xu's mother.

But after all, it was the first time they met, so she always wanted to say hello to the other person.

Before that, Qin Zheng thought about how the dragon cub could open the door for such a small person in a very short period of time. Could it be that he still has such good jumping ability at such a young age?

But none of this matters...

"Hello, Long Zai, this is the first time we meet. I am Tang Chu's classmate. My name is Qin Zheng."

Qin Zheng knelt down and wanted to shake hands with the dragon cub.

The dragon cub did extend its front paws, but it was not placed on Qin Zheng's open palm, but on the bottom shoe rack beside it.

There are disposable slippers for guests.

"..."

Qin Zheng understood, she retracted her hand and put on disposable slippers.

The dragon cub was not in a hurry and slowly led Qin Zheng to the door of Tang Xu's room.

The door was open and Tang Xu was lying on the bed sleeping.

Qin Zheng walked to him cautiously and reached out to touch his forehead, which was still very hot.

"Didn't this guy go to the hospital? He still has a fever..."

Qin Zheng walked out of the room and went to the living room. She first put her schoolbag on the sofa, and then found a convenient medicine kit on the coffee table in the living room. It seemed that Tang Xu had found antipyretic medicine and taken it himself after returning home.

"Hey, it's really worrying."

Qin Zheng looked around and went straight to the bathroom.

"Although it's not good to walk around in other people's homes, it's still a helpless act in a state of emergency. I know you will tolerate me, right?"

Qin Zheng said with a smile to the dragon cub who had been following her. The dragon cub did not respond, but walked away after hearing the words.

Qin Zheng took a towel from the bathroom, soaked it in cold water and wrung it out, then returned to Tang Xu's room with the towel.

She carefully folded the towel and placed it on Tang Xu's forehead to cool down.

After doing this, Qin Zheng walked out of the room again and walked towards the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator next to the kitchen and looked for ingredients inside.

Then, Qin Zheng tied up her long hair with elastic bands on her slender wrists, put on the kitchen apron, and completed her movements in one go.

When Tang Xu woke up, there was a faint fragrance of food in the air.

He touched his forehead and took off the cold towel that had been soaked in cold water many times.

He got out of bed, put on slippers and took a towel and walked out of the room, just in time to see Qin Zheng's back in the kitchen.

Qin Zheng's curly chestnut hair was tied into a slender ponytail. At this time, she was stirring the vegetable porridge in the pot with a spoon.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Qin Zheng turned her head, and when her eyes met, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

"Just right."

As Qin Zheng spoke, she poured the cooked porridge into a bowl with a spoon and carefully brought it to the dining table.

"Come and try my handiwork."

Qin Zheng was calm and calm, but Tang Xu was stunned on the spot.

He didn't know how Qin Zheng came in, or how Qin Zheng changed the towel on his forehead again and again, nor did he know that Qin Zheng had been staying in the kitchen because he was afraid that the porridge would burn.

Precisely because he didn't know, after a little imagination, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

The still cold towel in his hand told him everything.

Does Qin Zheng know him very well? Counting today, it is only the third day they have known each other.

Tang Xu froze on the spot for a long time before reluctantly speaking.

"Thank you, Qin Zheng."

"Stop being formalistic, come here and try the porridge I cooked by myself."

Tang Xu was sitting at the dining table, looking at the steaming vegetable porridge in the white porcelain bowl in front of him, feeling very moved.

Qin Zheng sat next to him, not even having time to take off her apron.

In front of you is the fragrant hot porridge, and next to you is a beautiful woman.

Tang Xu felt that the pinnacle of his life was nothing more than this, after all, mediocrity was the truth.

"Why, do you still want me to feed you, Tang Xu?"

"No, no, no, I will do it myself..."

As Tang Xu spoke, he picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

The porridge was still hot, which Tang Xu expected, as it had just come out of the pot.

It’s just... so salty...

This kind of saltiness is like every grain of rice accompanied by a grain of salt. An indescribable feeling surges in the mouth and goes straight to the throat.

Seeing Tang Xu frowning, Qin Zheng asked softly from the side: "What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

"No, it's quite delicious."

Tang Xu replied with a smile, and at the same time scooped another spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

He was sure that the vegetables in the porridge were bought by him when he came back from the vegetable market, so that he could put some vegetables in when cooking the noodles.

The vegetables are definitely not bad. As for the porridge...

"Does your porridge in the south taste like this? It feels different from the porridge in the north..."

"Is there a big difference? Let me try it."

Qin Zheng said that he was about to take the spoon in Tang Xu's hand, but Tang Xu mechanically stepped back with the spoon in his hand.

"This is the porridge you cooked for me, you'd better not taste it."

"Good guy, you're quite protective of your food. What's wrong with the porridge I cooked and I had to try it myself?"

"No, think about it, if we share a spoon, doesn't that mean we're kissing indirectly..."

Tang Xu hesitated and made excuses, but Qin Zheng remained unmoved.

"Then I'll get another spoon."

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, she stood up and was about to go to the kitchen. Tang Chu reached out and grabbed her wrist in a hurry.

Qin Zheng turned around and looked down at Tang Xu, who was holding her wrist, wondering why.

"What are you doing, full and warm?"

"..."

In order to prevent Qin Zheng from blaming herself for not cooking the porridge well, Tang Xu changed from his previous habit of complaining at the right time and could only make jokes and try to divert Qin Zheng's attention.

Tang Xu looked at Qin Zheng's clear eyes with firm and serious eyes.

"What if I said yes."

"Then we have to eat before we talk."

Qin Zheng replied almost instantly, while Tang Xu blushed instantly.

Qin Zheng looked at Tang Xu who was at a loss, and then at the spoon he was always protecting, and seemed to understand something.

Because Tang Xu was too nervous, he always held Qin Zheng's soft and slender wrist.

There is an ambiguous and charming atmosphere in the quiet air.

The dragon cub looked at the two people at the dining table from a distance and shook his head helplessly.
