Zhou Yi's sudden change of attitude caught Zheng Pianqing off guard, especially after seeing his red eyes and moist eyes - but before she had time to take a closer look, Zhou Yi had already turned and walked towards the dishwasher.
Zheng Pianqing felt a strong feeling of desolation and disappointment from his back. Before she could find out the reason, she heard Sansan calling her in the living room, so she immediately came to her senses and hurried over.
Zheng Pianqian chatted with Sansan and Jiang Mingzhu for a while, caring about her physical condition. Later, Jiang Mingzhu was called away by the nurse, and the video call ended.
Not long after, Zhou Yi also packed up the kitchen and came out. After Zheng Pianqian heard the footsteps, she subconsciously looked up and found that Zhou Yi's eyes were still red - it seemed that they were redder than before.
Sansan didn't observe so carefully. After seeing Zhou Yi, she called him as usual.
Zhou Yi responded, and then said to San San: "I'm going back first, and I'll come find you tomorrow."
"Are you going back now?" It was obvious that Sansan was reluctant to leave.
If Sansanyi was reluctant to leave her in normal times, Zhou Yi would definitely stay with her at all costs, but today he was really in a mess, "Well, I have something to do."
"Okay then, go and do your work." Sansan said, "Go back and rest early."
Zhou Yi said "hmm" and touched San San's face, "You should go to bed early, see you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to San San, Zhou Yi went to the door to change his shoes. From the time he came out of the kitchen to the time he changed his shoes and left, he didn't say a word to Zheng Pianying.
After Zhou Yi left, Sansan also realized something was wrong. She looked at Zheng Pianying with a blank look on her face, "Mom, why didn't Uncle Zhou say 'goodbye' to you?"
Normally Zhou Yi would take the initiative to talk to Zheng Pianqing, even to the point of being attentive. Sansan was already used to that pattern. Seeing him so cold today, the contrast was surprising.
"Maybe I forgot." Zheng Pianqing explained casually, and then said to Sansan: "Go up and take a shower first, let's take a rest early."
Sansan nodded, took Zheng Pianqing's hand and went upstairs with her. The conversation between mother and daughter soon moved to other places.
She went to bed around 33:39. Zheng Pianxing turned off the light, lay next to her and closed her eyes. However, the look of Zhou Yi just now with red eyes and about to cry appeared in front of her eyes.
Did she say something outrageous?
Zheng Pianqing began to recall carefully, breaking down every sentence she had just said to him in the restaurant alone. She did not feel that any of her words were inappropriate - compared to the last time, she had been very frank with him this time. He said he was going to meet Qin Lie.
Zhou Yi's point is that he doesn't want her to see Qin Lie again, but why should she pay for his "not wanting"?
Even if there is a Sansan as a bond between them, it is only the relationship between the child's parents, and her relationship with Qin Lie has not affected Sansan's growth.

The itinerary arranged for the next day includes several scenic spots and needs to start early in the morning.
Zhou Yi arrived at early six o'clock. At that time, it was still dark.
When Zhou Yi arrived, Zheng Pianqian and Sansan had already packed up the things they wanted to bring. Since they had to rush to the restaurant as soon as it opened, they ate breakfast in the car.
Zhou Yi still thoughtfully prepared breakfast. Today it was milk and sandwiches, which was more convenient to eat in the car.
He did not arrange a driver and drove the car himself today.
On the way, Sansan drank milk and chatted with Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi patiently answered all her questions as usual, his voice was still gentle, but he didn't speak to Zheng Pian Ting during the whole process.
Zheng Pianqian usually didn't participate in the topics between Zhou Yi and Sansan. She occasionally said a few words when they specifically mentioned her.
Zhou Yi didn't mention it today, so Zheng Pianying remained silent the whole time.
"Uncle Zhou, why didn't you talk to mom?" Sansan felt that something was wrong with Zhou Yi last night, and after observing him in the car this morning, he was even more certain of this.
"Is there any?" Zhou Yi smiled, turned the steering wheel and looked up at the rearview mirror, "Your mother is eating. It's not convenient to talk while eating."
Sansan: "Okay, I thought you guys had a fight."
"No." Zhou Yi shook his head, "Don't think nonsense."
Zheng Pianqian lowered her head and ate her sandwich, but still did not participate in the topic. Regardless of whether Zhou Yi was really unhappy with her, she had no intention of taking the initiative to break the ice with him.
There was no way to park at the scenic spot, and you had to walk two or three kilometers after getting off the car. After Zheng Pianqing got off the car with her backpack, Zhou Yi came over, took her bag without saying a word, and carried it on her back.
Before Zheng Pianqian had time to react, Zhou Yi had already held Sansan's hand.
And Sansan also stretched out her other hand towards Zheng Pianying, "Mom, come here quickly."
Zheng Pianqian nodded, stepped forward and took Sansan's hand, and she and Zhou Yi led her forward.
There were many tourists nearby, including a couple with their children, but even so, the three of them stood out among the crowd - mainly Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi is tall and tall. He always turns heads when he walks on the road. Now that he has a beautiful child like San San, he is even more eye-catching - Zheng Pianqing has been wearing a mask and the clothes on her body are very tight. Passers-by couldn't quite see her facial features and figure.
Zheng Pianqian's mood did not fluctuate much when she heard passers-by discussing Zhou Yi's appearance and saying something like, "His wife seems to be very ordinary."
But she didn't expect that Zhou Yi stopped, stood in front of the person and said, "It's rude to point fingers at others. Please apologize to her."
"Yes, Auntie, you have to apologize to my mother." Sansan also said.
The other party obviously didn't expect that she would be asked to apologize for her casual remarks - although the attitude of the father and daughter was very friendly, she had completely lost face. The friendlier they were, the more ridiculous her behavior just seemed.
"I..." She was not willing to accept it and defended herself: "I just said that, you don't have to be so serious, right?"
"Need." Although Zhou Yi was polite, his attitude was very tough: "Adults must be responsible for their own actions. Please apologize. If you don't apologize, I will contact a lawyer."
This confrontation attracted many people to stop and watch. Although Zheng Pianqing was wearing a mask, she still felt uncomfortable seeing people surrounding her. She never liked being the focus of the crowd.
Zheng Pianqian thought for a moment and tugged on Zhou Yi's sleeve to remind him not to continue.
But Zhou Yi refused and insisted that the other party apologize to her.
The people on the opposite side saw that there were more and more people watching, so they had no choice but to walk up to Zheng Pianqing and apologize to her.
This farce is over.
The other party walked very quickly, and the onlookers dispersed.
Zhou Yi looked at Zheng Pianqing and said "Sorry".
