Ruan Zhi stood in place for a while, and Shen Xiang kept looking at her and didn't speak again.

After a few seconds, she turned away again.

This time, Shen Xiang didn't stop her again.

And Ruan Zhi had already crossed the middle of the road, and his figure disappeared into the gate of the hospital, without looking back.

Under the big banyan tree, Shen Xiang stood there alone for a long time.

A gust of wind blew, and a yellowed banyan leaf slowly fell from mid-air.

It landed gently on his shoulder.

Shen Xiang raised his hand to pick up the fallen leaf, stared at it for a long time, and when he turned to leave, he put the fallen leaf into his pocket.

......

Upstairs.

Qin Piao brought a new picture book and sat on the edge of the bed to tell Ruan Meng a story.

He is usually not in shape, but when he tells the story, he is very vocal and moving.

Ruan Meng grew up, and almost all of the picture books were bought by Qin Piao.

It is also the story he told Ruan Meng the most.

Minglang stood by and listened for a while, and he had to admire Qin Piao.

The boiling water in the kettle had run out, so Minglang picked up the kettle and went to the boiling water room.

As soon as he left on his front foot, the doctors who had come to round the ward rushed in.

Qin Piao looked up, "Why is there such a big battle today?"

There are a lot more doctors than usual.

The storytelling stopped, and the doctors asked a few questions, as usual.

Qin Piao listened to it with amusement on the side, and couldn't help but say: "Doctor, our family Mengmeng is just an ordinary cold and fever, don't be so serious, turn around and scare our family Mengmeng." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Meng with great distress.

only to find that Ruan Meng blinked a pair of eyes, staring at one of the doctors.

Following her gaze, Qin Piao's gaze fell on the young man standing in the middle, surrounded by a group of doctors.

Oh, it's not bad.

But it seems that from the moment I entered the door, I didn't look at anyone properly.

The doctor next to him introduced: "This is Dr. Xu from Liangcheng......

Qin Piao hated people who were prouder than him the most, so he didn't have the patience to listen to the introduction, so he interrupted directly: "I know, I know, you guys go and check on those more serious patients." It's not much of a big deal in our family. ”

Doctor: "......"

Qin Piao's bad attitude did not affect the work of Dr. Xu in the slightest.

He first stood at the end of the bed and looked at Ruan Meng's medical record card, and then noticed the little girl lying on the hospital bed.

He is only three or four years old, and his round face is very cute, his nose and mouth are very small, and his eyes are very beautiful.

At this moment, the little girl was blinking at him, looking at him brightly.

Xu Huaishen walked over and raised his hand to touch the temperature of the little girl's forehead.

Qin Piao next to him immediately shouted: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, take away your dirty hands!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Dr. Xu suddenly turned his head to look over.

His eyes were cold, and Qin Piao, who was looking at it, felt a pang in his heart, and obediently closed his mouth.

After seeing Ruan Meng, Dr. Xu turned around and left.

The doctors immediately followed in a tidal wave, and soon the group disappeared at the door of the ward.

And Qin Piao only noticed at this time that he had been crushed just now???

"I'm going, what's the big deal about being handsome?" Qin Piao pulled his neckline unhappily, and Dr. Xu's face flashed in his mind again, "Wait! Why is this person so familiar? Have I seen it anywhere?"

Qin Piao frowned and thought deeply, and before he could come up with it, Ming Lang came in with a hot water kettle, completely interrupting his train of thought.

Minglang put down the kettle and asked, "Has the doctor come to check the room?"

"Hmm. Qin Piao didn't want to mention what happened just now, so he directly opened the picture book and continued to tell Ruan Meng the story.

After the ward rounds, a group of doctors surrounded Dr. Xu and went to visit various departments of the hospital.

The elevator went down to the first floor, and after visiting the departments on the first floor, I had to go to the fifth floor.

A group of doctors stood at the elevator entrance, which was still particularly eye-catching.

Ruan Zhi came in from outside the door and saw the doctors over there at a glance.

Several other elevators have just gone up, and only the doctor is in front of him, which is about to come down.

Ruan Zhi followed in the footsteps of a few pedestrians and stood behind a group of doctors.

She lowered her head, still thinking about the reminder she had just pondered.

He said that the man had come to Cloud City.

What is he doing in Cloud City?

Ruan Meng's high fever has not completely subsided, should she be discharged from the hospital early?

Her daughter's health has been poor, so she was discharged from the hospital like this, and she was really not at ease.

But what if you stay and really run into that person?

On second thought, where is the coincidence?

Even if that person came to Cloud City, but Cloud City is so big, the hospital is so big, and the ward where Ruan Meng is staying is not the department that that person is involved in, and the probability of encountering it in the vast sea of people should be less than 1 in 10,000, right?

Ruan Zhi struggled for a long time, feeling that he still couldn't joke about his daughter's safety.

If something happens to Ruan Meng, then it's too late for her to regret it.

probably thought too much about it, so that when the people in front of him rushed into the elevator, Ruan Zhi couldn't react immediately.

Everyone got on the elevator one after another, and she was still standing there alone, thinking about things with her head down.

Until an enthusiastic aunt called out to her, "Little girl, do you want to go?"

Ruan Zhi came back to his senses at this time, and raised his head, "I'm on the ......"

The feet subconsciously stepped forward, but in an instant, when his eyes caught a familiar face, he paused suddenly.

There was a line of doctors and a few strangers standing in the elevator.

There's still a lot of room to spare.

Ruan Zhi didn't know how he was, and from so many long faces, he suddenly locked on that face.

The heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, but after a few seconds, it started beating violently.

Isn't it the ...... who stands at the head of the doctors? That person?

If the probability of 1 in 10,000 is so coincidental, Ruan Zhi feels that today may be a day that is not suitable for going out.

A second ago, Shen Xiang reminded her.

Just now, she was still entangled and chose peace of mind.

But now, she had a face-to-face look with that person.

No!

It's not a face.

That person, he kept his head down, listening to the introduction of the doctor next to him to the hospital.

Even when the enthusiastic aunt opened her mouth to call Ruan Zhi to get on the elevator, he didn't look up.

So, now it's just Ruan Zhi who sees him alone.

"Little girl?" Seeing Ruan Zhi frozen there, the enthusiastic aunt opened her mouth and urged, "You can't get on?"

Ruan Zhi subconsciously retracted his feet when he stepped out, and just wanted to shake his head, but the person who had been keeping his head down suddenly raised his head.

Ruan Zhi stiffened fiercely, then lowered his head, and rushed into the elevator with his head buried before colliding with those eyes.

The elevator door slowly closed, Ruan Zhi walked into the corner with his head down, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly.

Her fingers squeezed into her palms, and even though she had tried hard to keep herself calm, her shoulders were shaking.

Ruan Zhi, calm down!

He didn't see you! He must not see you!

She is not the same as three years ago, and she has not changed a little.

He didn't recognize it.

Moreover, she had been keeping her head down just now.

Ruan Zhi comforted himself like this, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the doctor in front of him.

From her direction, only the back of the man's head could be seen.

The doctor was still introducing the hospital, and the man listened attentively, asking some questions from time to time.

Their communication has not been interrupted throughout the whole process.

Looking around, it seems that in the entire elevator, Ruan Zhi is nervous to death.

Ruan Zhi only looked at it for a while, then lowered his head again, and tried very hard to shrink his presence.

When the fifth floor arrived, a group of doctors walked out, and the entire elevator space became a lot more open.

The elevator door closed again, and Ruan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back against the elevator wall, his hands and feet weak.

Outside the fifth floor.

Dr. Xu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

The group of doctors who followed him also stopped.

"Doctor Xu?" asked the accompanying doctor beside him, not knowing what was wrong.

Dr. Xu turned around, his gaze falling on the closed elevator door at a distance.

All the doctors followed his gaze, but saw nothing.

The elevator goes up all the way and the numbers keep jumping.

The 8th floor stopped for a while, and then continued to ascend.

Got to the 11th floor, stopped for a long time, and then started to descend.

"Doctor Xu?" the doctor next to him politely interrupted his thoughts, "Is there something wrong?"

Dr. Xu turned around with the same look as usual, "It's okay, you continue." ”

"Okay. ”

A group of doctors leaves.

The 8th floor is an outpatient department, and there are many patients living here.

From all kinds of diseases to colds and fevers, those who have been temporarily arranged by the emergency department are temporarily living here.

Ruan Zhi pushed open the door of the ward, his legs still trembling.

As soon as she walked all the way, her mind was full of what she could see for a moment.

The person she thought she would never see again in her life, seeing her again, can still easily disrupt the peace she has finally settled.

In the ward, Qin Piao was telling Ruan Meng a story.

Looking up and seeing Ruan Zhi coming in, Qin Piao said: "Minglang has something to do temporarily, so he left first, he said to come over at night." ”

Only then did he notice Ruan Zhi's pale face.

Ruan Zhi entered the door and locked the door.

The man leaned against the door, sliding on the ground with some weakness, his eyes staring straight ahead.

"Master?" Qin Piao was startled, closed the picture book and walked over, squatting down in front of her, "Are you okay?"

Ruan Zhi's gaze slowly shifted and landed in Qin Piao's eyes.

"My grass, Master, what's wrong with you, don't look at me like that, your eyes are so scary!" Qin Piao rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, not understanding what Ruan Zhi's sudden change was.

Could it be......

"I think my brother confessed to you?" Qin Piao could only think of this one possibility.

After all, he thought that his brother was really handsome and had nothing to say.

How many women inside and outside the circle covet his brother's face, and being confessed by his brother must be a very exciting and difficult thing to implement.

"But Master, your concentration is a little worse than I thought. Qin Piao smiled and said, "I thought you would refuse very calmly." ”

Ruan Zhi didn't answer his question, but raised his hands and slowly covered his ears.

Close your eyes, trying to make that pounding heart slowly quiet down.

has known each other for more than two years, and Qin Piao knows Ruan Zhi well.

She has been in a very bad mood in the past few years, and she usually looks like a very strong person, but once she encounters something related to Ruan Meng, she will collapse immediately.

The way she looks, she just needs to be quiet alone.

Qin Piao didn't speak again, got up and walked back to the bedside, and continued to tell Ruan Meng the story.

But his attention was not as focused as before, and he would glance in Ruan Zhi's direction from time to time.

Qin Piao was a simple person, seeing Ruan Zhi like this, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and quietly sent a message to Shen Xiang to ask.

Shen thought: "She rejected me. ”

Qin Piao hissed, "It shouldn't be, my master's state is so terrible now." ”

Shen Xiang: "???"

Qin Piao's expression was not clear, and he thought that typing was too troublesome, so he directly picked up his mobile phone and pointed it at Ruan Zhi's side, and took a small video and sent it over.

Shen Xiang sat in the car, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and clicked on the small video.

After looking at it for a few seconds, his eyebrows slowly furrowed.

It seems that she still can't let go of Xu Huaishen.

So much so that mentioning him would make her so painful.

Shen Xiang put down his phone, turned his eyes to the window, and suddenly lost interest in the gathering of friends he was about to attend.

......

Ruan Zhi didn't say anything about it in the end.

In the afternoon, she went to ask the resident doctor in charge of Ruan Meng if she could be discharged early.

The chief physician shook his head, "The child obviously has signs of fever now, but it has not completely subsided. If you go back at this time, it will be dangerous if it burns again. My advice is not to go back for a while and wait until you are fully recovered before you are discharged. ”

Ruan Zhi gritted his teeth, thinking of the scene in the morning, he still felt scared in his heart.

In the afternoon, she went to the nurse's station and asked about it.

Only then did I know that that person was not just here to communicate.

It's about coming in.

That is, he will be in this hospital for a while, and it is likely that he will be in front of them at any time.

She doesn't care.

It's a big deal to laugh it off.

But Ruan Meng ......

Ruan Meng is all her spiritual support, if she meets that person......

She couldn't predict what would happen.

But she didn't dare bet.

The only thing that can be done is to stifle everything that can happen in the beginning.

Ruan Zhi insisted on being discharged from the hospital, but the doctor couldn't help it, so he signed and prescribed some medicine for Ruan Zhi to take back.

I was discharged from the hospital and left at dusk.

Ruan Zhi's current home is in a very good community, the famous residence of the mountain city.

She and Ruan Meng live in a small two-bedroom apartment, although the place is not big, but it is very clean and a very warm nest.

While driving, Qin Piao wondered, "Why are you going to be discharged from the hospital?"

Ruan Zhi sat in the back seat, holding Ruan Meng in his arms, one arm supporting the little guy's back, and one hand gently caressing her delicate and soft little face.

She didn't look up, but just answered Qin Piao's question in a very flat tone, "It's too noisy in the hospital, Mengmeng can't sleep well." ”

Qin Piao nodded, "That's the same." There are also many people, coming and going. It's better to stay at home. ”

By the time I got home, it was already dark.

Minglang learned in advance that they were going to be discharged, so he didn't go to the hospital, but went home first to prepare dinner.

As soon as they entered, the food was already fragrant.

Minglang stood at the door, took Ruan Meng, glanced at Ruan Zhi's haggard face, and said, "Wash your hands and eat." ”

"Hmm. Ruan Zhi replied and held the shoe cabinet to change shoes.

Qin Piao smiled beside him and said, "Master, how do I feel that you and Minglang are like old husbands and wives." ”

"......" Ruan Zhi raised his hand and patted the back of his head.

Qin Piao let out an exaggerated cry of pain.

Minglang made a table of dishes, but Ruan Zhi didn't have much appetite today, so he didn't eat much.

Ruan Meng was sick, and she only ate a few bites, and then she didn't eat it.

Minglang didn't eat much, and all his attention was on Ruan Zhi's mother and daughter.

Qin Piao eats the most cheerfully.

"Mommy, I'm so sleepy. Ruan Meng rubbed her eyes, her voice full of sleepiness.

Ruan Zhi got up and picked her up, "Mommy will take you to sleep." ”

After entering the room, I first helped Ruan Meng wash briefly, wiped her palms and feet with warm water, and measured her body temperature.

The temperature is still the same as before, low-grade fever.

Minglang rushed in the fever-reducing medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Ruan Meng drank the medicine, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

Minglang sat down next to him, his gaze moved from Ruan Meng's face to Ruan Zhi's face, "Why do you suddenly want to be discharged from the hospital?" Mengmeng's fever hasn't subsided yet. ”

Ruan Zhi replied vaguely: "It's too noisy in the hospital, the smell of disinfectant water is also unpleasant, and Mengmeng is not resting well......"

"Hmm. Minglang nodded, still looking at her face.

His gaze was too focused, and he was watching her the whole time, barely shifting.

Ruan Zhi had to raise his head and meet his eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Minglang replied, "I just think it's not quite like your style." ”

Ruan Zhi: "......"

Oh, yes.

When Ruan Meng was hospitalized before, she had never been discharged from the hospital in such a hurry.

What hospital is too noisy, the smell of disinfectant water is too strong, it's all excuses.

Ruan Meng is all she has, all she has, every time she is hospitalized, she will not be hospitalized without waiting for the doctor to speak.

Looking at it this way, her behavior today is indeed very abnormal.

Ruan Zhi looked at Minglang, she knew, Minglang understood everything.

He never forced her.

If she wants to do it, she will do it.

If she wants to say it, she will say it.

As at this moment, he knew that she was abnormal, and knew that something must have happened.

But he wouldn't ask.

But in this way, he still has to tell her that no matter when, no matter what happens, he will always be there for her.

Ruan Zhi opened his mouth, but said nothing.

In fact, if you think about it, it wasn't a big deal.

Even if she and Xu Huaishen meet again, even if he sees her today, what will happen?

Their relationship was severed three years ago.

For three years, she had been expelling that person from her life.

And what about that person?

He is calmer, wiser, and more selective than himself.

Therefore, even if Ruan Zhi stood in front of him now, he was just a stranger to him.

Besides, now they've left the hospital.

I'll never run into him again.

Well, there's no need for her to panic, is she?

Ruan Zhi lowered his head, "It's nothing." ”

A hint of loss clearly slipped through Minglang's eyes, but he still said, "Rest early, don't think about it." ”

"Hmm. ”

After the meal, Ming Lang and Qin Piao left.

In the apartment, there were two more left, Ruan Zhi and Ruan Meng.

She had just finished washing up and was about to go to rest, when the doorbell rang.
