Chapter Thirty-Nine: Your Old Lover
Regarding Ji Hanshan's disappearance back then, Xu Youran thought of many possibilities when he was young.
To sum it up, it is four words - man-made disasters and natural disasters.
This question had been trapped in her mind for a long time as a young woman, so she wanted to figure it out purely to solve this unsolved mystery that she once thought.
It's also a long story indeed.
But Ji Hanshan said it very succinctly.
"My adoptive father is dead. ”
A sentence composed of a few simple words made Xu Youran's mood suddenly complicated.
"It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to explain it to you at the time, so I went straight home. ”
Ji Hanshan is a study tour like her, but Xu Youran didn't know this until now, she always thought he was a local, and thought that if she wanted to find him, she could run to the place where he lived at any time, so that she didn't even have his contact information.
Ji Hanshan seemed to notice something, and then recalled her behavior when she saw her last time, and woke up suddenly, "I asked my neighbor to transfer you a note in a book for me, didn't you see it?"
Book.
Xu Youran recalled, as if he remembered that there was such a thing, but the note ......
At that time, after she was sad, she turned into anger, so she gave away all the things related to Ji Hanshan around her, and lost what no one wanted.
I forgot how the book was disposed of, and it was most likely thrown in the trash.
Although Xu Youran did not answer, Ji Hanshan understood the answer from her confused expression.
He laughed helplessly and shook his head, "You guy is really incomprehensible, no wonder I think why you haven't contacted me all the time, it turns out that you haven't seen that note at all." ”
Later, Ji Hanshan's adoptive father's funeral affairs were dealt with, and his mother was also tortured because of physical and psychological pain, so Ji Hanshan went through the procedures for suspending school.
In this year, because his adoptive mother couldn't leave, Ji Hanshan stayed at home and waited for Xu Youran's call.
But it didn't wait.
A year later, Ji Hanshan waited until his adoptive mother's condition stabilized before going to school, but at that time, Xu Youran had already been admitted to a university in China and did not leave any contact information.
At this time, Xu Youran completely understood.
When she co-authored Ji Hanshan, the world evaporated, and the other party also disappeared suddenly.
Recalling those days and nights of tears, Xu Youran suddenly felt a little emotional, and felt funny.
This is about life, there are always reversals that you can't imagine, but by the time you realize what you're missing, it's too late.
It's like her and Ji Hanshan.
But she doesn't feel a pity, youth should always have regrets to be worth recalling.
Judging from Ji Hanshan's reaction, he probably thought the same way.
In the second half of the chat, the two finally began to talk about the recent situation.
Ji Hanshan is a director of a company, and Xu Youran also told him that he had just opened a restaurant.
"Young and successful in his career while taking care of his family, a successful person of today?" he said with a smile, as if he had stars in his eyes.
Xu Youran was also amused, "But seriously, I didn't expect you to change your name, and even your personality will change." ”
"After so many things, people always change. His smile was filled with the helplessness of thousands of sails, and he suddenly said, "Although I haven't found my biological parents, I'm really happy to be able to find my former good friends, but I want to ask...... Xu Youran, are we still friends?"
He only said good friends, and Xu Youran also came back to his senses.
Maybe it was her wishful thinking at the beginning, after all, she hadn't even talked about a relationship, and adolescent girls are always prone to overthinking.
Thinking of this, she was suddenly glad that she hadn't said it at the beginning.
She smiled and nodded, "Of course." ”
Ji Hanshan came to the hospital to visit customers, and heard that Xu Youran's husband was hospitalized, and asked Xu Youran to take him to have a look.
Intuition told Xu Youran that Qin Chu would not want to see her take a stranger to his ward to visit the patient, so he politely refused him.
The two said goodbye in the lobby of the inpatient department.
Xu Youran waved his hand and was about to leave, but his eyes fixed on a figure in the crowded hall.
Qin Chu was wearing a hospital gown, still holding a thermos pot in his hand, squinting at her but not approaching.
Xu Youran remembered that she had forgotten to take the thermos pot, and at the same time, she always felt that Qin Chu's eyes were a little strange, so she took the initiative to pick up the thermos pot in his hand.
But Qin Chu didn't let go.
Xu Youran reminded, "Give it to me." ”
He still won't let go.
She raised her hand and waved it in front of him, "Silly?"
Qin Chu's contemptuous gaze fell on her face, and his tone was mocking, "I specially sent this thing to you, but I didn't expect to watch a play." ”
Xu Youran realized it later, "What play?"
Qin Chu's fluttering gaze drifted out of the hall, and Xu Youran followed his gaze to the long corridor surrounded by vines and branches outside.
After a pause, he finally understood.
"You see?"
Qin Chu's tone was cold, "Xu Youran, if you want to meet your old lover, you should always find a decent place to date, the front foot just came out of my ward, and the back foot saw other wild men, it's difficult not to be discovered by me." ”
Xu Youran was very speechless, and glanced at him, "People with dirty thoughts look dirty at everything." ”
"Oh, so he isn't your old lover?"
Xu Youran wanted to refute, but stopped.
Qin Chu saw her reaction in his eyes, and when he saw that she didn't refute, he realized that he was right, and his heart was depressed for a while.
The two of them stood like this, and neither of them spoke.
Qin Chu's eyes made Xu Youran's heart inexplicably empty, and he was about to go back head-on, but he saw Qin Chu's brows furrowed, his eyes closed, his tall body was slightly rickety, his hand was on the place where the knife had been opened, and his face was ugly.
Xu Youran was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "An old friend in the past, not an old lover. Are you okay? Why are you doing this in a good way? I don't know if you just had surgery, and you still want the doctor to give you a few more injections?"
She was shocked and frightened, and when her words fell to the ground, she felt that she had spoken too much, so she hurriedly shut her mouth.
"I'll help you back. Her tone finally softened, "Slow down, slow down, it's almost time to get to the elevator." ”
Qin Chu was indeed jealous, but seeing that it was rare for her to be so gentle with herself, her ears were soft, so she hugged Xu Youran's waist from her head, and her head was also leaning on her shoulder.
He looked as if he was hanging on Xu Youran, but in fact, he didn't focus on her.
However, the height difference between the two made it too difficult for him to rely on, and when he returned to the ward, he had been holding his neck sideways for a long time, which made Qin Chu's neck feel a little painful.
Xu Youran just helped him lift the quilt and cover it, and when he saw him covering his neck, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Qin Chu enjoyed her gentle care very much, furrowed his brows a little tighter, and gritted his teeth in pain, "It hurts a little." ”
"Who told you to keep leaning on my shoulder just now. She said angrily, "Let you stay in the ward, it's not like I don't have a thermos pot in my store, what are you doing when you send it down?"
Qin Chu smiled while enduring the pain, "Xu Youran, if you care about me a little more, we will be able to reduce the time for quarrels." ”
Xu Youran looked at him hatefully, "If you don't mess with me, I may be able to be gentle with you all the time." ”
"Then it's settled. ”
Xu Youran didn't believe he could do it, "Okay." ”
Because of this just now, Xu Youran stayed in the ward for a while.
"Mrs. Qin, I want to eat apples. ”
"You opened the knife, not your hand was broken. Xu Youran couldn't help but remind, but still took the bedside apple for him, "Take it." ”
Qin Chu took the apple, "I didn't wash it." ”
This really called her as a servant.
Xu Youran was impressed by the guilt in his heart, and snatched the apple and went to the bathroom to wash it.
After washing, I came out just in time to meet the doctor's rounds.
The doctor glanced at the apple in Xu Youran's hand, and reminded her by the way, "The patient has a bad stomach, and fruits and other fruits have been eaten less recently, so let's eat them again for half a month, and the diet is light during this time, so you should also pay attention." ”
Xu Youran carefully wrote down every word of the doctor.
After the ward rounds, Xu Youran sat on the edge of the bed and peeled the skin.
She cut it seriously, so she didn't notice that Qin Chu was looking at her.
Her short hair pinned to her ears showed her delicate ears, and the light spots jumped over her head, and the strands of her hair were red and blonde.
Qin Chu's body was lazily sunburned, and his heart was also warm.
There are few times when there is such harmony between them.
Although Qin Chu was holding the document in his hand, he was already absent-minded.
"Why are you looking at ...... like this" Before he finished speaking, he heard Xu Youran's scream.
Qin Chu's heart was screamed by her, and regardless of the wound in her abdomen, she got up again and grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong?"
The moment the palms touched, both of them were stunned.
Xu Youran was surprised by Qin Chu's quick reaction, but Qin Chu found that she didn't cut her hand at all, and the wound was on the nail cover of her left thumb, which was cut.
Qin Chu consciously overreacted, and immediately preemptively struck while retracting, "Make a fuss." ”
"You're just making a fuss, aren't you?" Xu Youran looked at the nails that were no longer round and smooth, and said distressedly, "And I just made my nails." ”
"Who told you to use a knife?" Qin Chu frowned, "The doctor said that I can't eat fruit, and you still have to peel it." ”
Xu Youran sneered, "Who said it was for you to eat? I'll eat it myself." ”
Seeing that she was still going to use a knife, Qin Chu stretched out his hand impatiently, "Take it." ”
Xu Youran looked at him and didn't understand what he meant.
"Bring it, I'll cut it for you. ”
She was a little surprised, and the things in her hand were taken away by Qin Chu.
His eyebrows and eyes were peeling seriously, and his focused expression was full of reproach, but his mouth still didn't stop, "If you don't know how to use a knife, you have to use a knife, if you say that you are a restaurant owner, I'm afraid no one will believe it." ”
I don't know why, Xu Youran was blamed this time but he was not angry, but he still felt a little warm.
But she didn't ask for mercy on her lips, "Isn't peeling apples with a knife a custom brought out by your film and television industry?"
Qin Chu laughed angrily, "I've only been in this industry for five years at most, and I've been cutting apple peels for a long time, so you can blame me?"
Xu Youran didn't say anything, she just sat aside and waited for the apple.
Today's sunlight was especially good, the golden light fell on them, and Xu Youran's gaze was fixed on Qin Chu's bony hand.
He bent his fingers, moving little by little, slowly, his eyes focused.
The ghost sent the gods, and Xu Youran's eyes softened.
"Take it. ”
Qin Chu handed the apple to her, and the latter retracted his gaze in a panic.
Qin Chu had been enjoying her attention, and finally couldn't help laughing at this moment, and shook the cleanly peeled apple in front of her, "What are you still doing in a daze?"
Xu Youran took a bite of the flesh and vented his anger.
Qin Chu smiled even more.
