On a cloudy afternoon, Sui Qingliu sent Yu Jingbo out, "If you want to drink, you drink less." She babbled, "You see you have fatty liver, you can't drink all the time." ”
Yu Jingbo said disappreciatively: "It's social, it's not what I want to drink." ”
"You've been socializing too much lately, even if you drink at night, you can drink during the day. Sui Qingliu said unhappily.
"Don't worry, I'll try to drink as little as possible. Yu Jingbo kissed her cheek, like a dragonfly dotting water, "Today is Saturday, and you know, it was not easy to get together this group of people from the Civil Affairs Bureau." He looked into Sui Qingliu's eyes and said gently, "Wife, I may have to come back later, and I don't have to wait for dinner." ”
"Got it. ”
Yu Jingbo turned the car key in his hand and walked down the steps, "Wife, the little one is busy!"
Sui Qingliu pursed his lips and smiled. She closed the door, stared at the living room for a moment, and then walked up the stairs.
On the second floor, the door to Yu's room was closed as usual. She knocked on the door, and Yu Yi's increasingly impatient voice soon came from inside, "I'm not hungry!"
"Baby, are you taking a nap?" asked Sui Qingliu with concern.
"What?"
"I'm just asking. Sui Qingliu sighed. Since being beaten by Yu Jingbo during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Yijian has become very dislike to talk, and he usually ignores her.
"I'll sleep in a while!" Yu Yijian shouted.
"Baby, open the door, Mommy has something to tell you. ”
After a while, Yu Yi gradually reluctantly opened the door. Sui Qingliu saw at a glance the messy bed, the computer with the screen on, and the headphones that were randomly thrown on the keyboard.
"Baby, Mommy has something to go out. Sui Qingliu looked at the tube of "Pringles" potato chips next to his keyboard and resisted the urge to criticize him.
"Oh. Yu Yigradually became a little impatient, his expression seemed to say, "Need to notify me of this?"
"Daddy has something to do, and he may have to come back late. You're home alone in the afternoon, so be obedient. ”
"Got it, I'm not a schoolboy. Yu Yijian put his hand on the doorknob, "What else?"
"If you're hungry, there's cake in the fridge, there's yogurt, and chicken wings and sausages. Remember to eat yourself. Sui Qingliu said patiently, "Chicken wings and sausages should be heated before eating, and if they are cold, they will cause stomach trouble." Just use the microwave, 'heating mode', and it should be heated for a minute and a half. She thought for a moment and added, "Also, the microwave is running out, remember to unplug it." “
"Got it!" Yu Yi nodded gradually, the flesh on his face trembling, "What else do you have to say?"
"Eat less chips, it's not healthy. Sui Qingliu said, "You should eat more fruits, which is healthy and not easy to gain weight......
Before she finished her words, Yu Yijian slammed the door shut.
Sui Qingliu said helplessly: "If you are tired of playing, you can sleep for a while! Pay attention to your eyes, don't get too close!"
There was a burst of computer game music in the room, and apparently, Yu Yigradually unplugged his headphones and turned on the stereo.
Sui Qingliu returned to the bedroom and looked at the mirror for a while. Then, she changed into her outfit for going out, grabbed her handbag and car keys, and went out of the house.
Sui Qingliu drove the car to the downstairs of a high-rise office building. She hadn't been here in more than half a year, and her heart was a little heavy when she thought about it.
Jiang Ruli's clinic still has a sign, but there is no receptionist at the front desk, and in fact, there are no people on the half floor occupied by the clinic. The suffocating silence made Sui Qingliu subconsciously slow down her pace, but her high heels hit the floor tiles, still making a crisp sound, and she couldn't help but panic.
"You're so punctual. Jiang Ruli appeared at the other end of the corridor, holding a large pot of water in his hand, "I thought that today is the weekend, and you may be stuck in traffic." The coffee is not yet ready. ”
"Today went relatively well. Sui Qingliu smiled melancholy, "Doctor Jiang, are you alone?"
"Yes, I don't have a clinic anymore, but the rent here was paid for two years and I won't be refunded. Jiang Ruli smiled and said, "Come in." He gently pushed open the office door with his knee.
"Won't Master Hou reimburse you? After all, it was he who hired you to cause you to give up your business here. Sui Qingliu stepped forward quickly and walked in. She looked at it, and the furnishings in the office had not been touched, and the familiar environment made her feel a little more relaxed.
"I really wish Hou Ye was here. Jiang Ruli said jokingly, "So that he can hear your words and consider giving me a salary increase." He gestured to the couch, "Sit." ”
Sui Qingliu sat down on the sofa, and Jiang Ruli walked to the back of the bar and began to make coffee.
"How have you slept for half a year?"
"It's ok. Sui Qingliu replied, she hesitated for a moment, and then changed her words, "Basically, I don't have nightmares, but I still sleep relatively lightly and wake up easily." ”
"As long as you have a regular schedule and pay attention to proper exercise, sleep should be improved, after all, you don't have insomnia now. ”
"Hmm. Sui Qingliu grabbed his handbag, a little absent-minded. She looked out the window, and then at the busy Jiang Ruli, as if she wanted to stop talking.
"Alright, we'll have a hot coffee later. Jiang Ruli finally walked out from behind the bar, wiped his hands with a clean white towel, and then hung the towel on the sticky hook on the wall.
Sui Qingliu waited for him to sit behind the computer desk before saying, "Doctor Jiang, didn't I really bother you?" she said a little crampedly, "I used to make an appointment with you a week in advance, but today is a special call." ”
"Don't bother, I don't have anything to do today, and I happen to be around here. Jiang Ruli said with a smile, and then turned on the computer, "Although my clinic is closed to the public, you are an exception." He looked at Sui Qingliu and said earnestly, "Because you are the only doctor among my patients." I always care more about my peers, even though I know it's not appropriate. ”
Sui Qingliu smiled, and that smile was like a withered water lily on the surface of a frozen lake.
She sighed softly, then slowly let go of her grip on the handbag and placed it on the coffee table. During this process, she kept her head down, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Doctor Jiang, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Sui Qingliu couldn't help but shudder when he said the word "ghost".
"I'm an atheist. Jiang Ruli replied, "But I have a strong curiosity. In other words, I believe that there are some things in this world that modern science can't explain. ”
Sui Qingliu let out a long sigh, her long hair floating limply beside her thin cheeks like fragile leaves. Because she is too thin, her cheekbones bulge high, which makes her face a little less feminine and more "mean".
"So, have you seen it?"
"It's a shame that so far, I haven't seen it. ”
"On the day of Chung Yeung Festival, I ...... I probably saw it. Sui Qingliu said, suddenly covering his face, "My husband also saw it." ”
"You mean, you saw a ghost?" Jiang Ruli asked in surprise, "where? when?"
"On the roof of an unfinished building in the second phase of Shanjia Nursing Home, it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not yet dark. Sui Qingliu's lips trembled uncontrollably, "It's raining heavily, and the weather is very bad." ”
"You can see it during the day...... Ghost?" Jiang Ruli's usually calm and gentle face showed an expression of disbelief, "How do you know it's a ghost?"
This question was like a sharp knife, piercing Sui Qingliu's heart, and she whimpered and sobbed.
Jiang Ruli took out a box of tissues from the drawer and walked in front of her. Sui Qingliu took the tissue, wiped his face, and spoke after a while.
"Doctor Jiang, do you remember the prisoner's mother I told you? ”
Jiang Ruli sat down on the sofa opposite her and nodded, "Remember." ”
"What I saw during the Chung Yeung Festival...... Much like her. Sui Qingliu squeezed a ball of tissues tightly, "It's really like that." ”
"Your husband also saw it?" Jiang Ruli asked.
"Yes, but he doesn't think so. Sui Qingliu lowered his head, "And had a big fight with me." ”
"Have you talked to this person who is very much like a prisoner's mother?" Jiang Ruli carefully chose his words, while paying close attention to the change in Sui Qingliu's expression.
Sui Qingliu shook his head. She was silent for a while before she said bitterly, "She jumped off the building." ”
"What?" Jiang Ruli was taken aback, "This person also committed suicide?"
Sui Qingliu raised his head, his eyes were red, "However, when I rushed over with my husband, there was no body on the ground, and there was no blood. My husband said it was a prank, and he said I was dazzled. ”
"Perhaps, it's really a prank, after all, there are a lot of people who are really bored these days. Jiang Ruli comforted and said, "After all, I didn't see the body, which means that no one died." ”
"I really saw it!" Sui Qingliu raised her voice, "Moreover, she still waved at me and smiled at me!" The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, "Doctor Jiang, I think she is here for me!"
Jiang Ruli couldn't cry or laugh, but he thoughtfully didn't speak, just quietly waited for Sui Qingliu's mood to calm down.
After a while, Sui Qingliu said hesitantly, "Doctor Jiang, what if...... Suppose I lied to you...... , no, it's not a lie, it's hiding something important, you won't blame me, right?"
Jiang Ruli said calmly: "I'm just a listener, and I won't make any comments on what you say." Of course, you have the right to choose what you say, and there is no such thing as concealment. ”
"That'...... What I'm going to tell you today, you can forget after listening to it, okay?"
Sui Qingliu was like a helpless child, she looked at Jiang Ruli, her eyes were full of obvious timidity and pain, which made the latter feel a little sad.
"Good. He agreed against his will, sighing inwardly.
In late March 2003, Sui Qingliu, who had resigned, was waiting to give birth at home. Han Nuowei's mother's affairs made her feel very unpleasant, although she knew very well that pregnant women should not have too many emotional ups and downs. Yu Jingbo coaxed her for several days before she gradually regained her composure.
After spending a few days at home, Sui Qingliu was bored and went to a nearby supermarket to hang out. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when she finished shopping at the supermarket, and she didn't want to go home early, so she continued to wander along the side of the road. She has heard from others that proper exercise is good for the health of the fetus, and that childbirth can be much easier. As she walked, she saw a mobile business hall, and she remembered that she hadn't paid her phone bill for the month, so she walked in.
There are very few people in the business hall, and after Sui Qingliu paid his mobile phone bill, he also paid it for Yu Jingbo by the way. Seeing that there were no guests in the hall and that she was bored, she asked the staff to give her a detailed list of calls.
After a while, she took two call slips and sat down in a chair in the waiting area of the business hall.
Sui Qingliu's usual contacts are a few classmates and colleagues from her former unit, and her call list is not long. And Yu Jingbo is different, there are so many numbers on his call list that it is dazzling.
"It's a business, after all. Sui Qingliu smiled and took a quick look. After looking at it for a while, her face changed slightly.
A number starting with "130" caught her eye. This number does not talk to Yu Jingbo many times, but each call time is very long, which is obviously different from other numbers in the call sheet. The longest of them was even more than half an hour.
Sui Qingliu frowned, she knew Yu Jingbo very well, the latter was not a person who liked to "make porridge on the phone". And on the contrary, he would rather meet in person than talk on the phone. Because he insists that only face-to-face communication is the most effective, and the other party can feel his sincerity and promote the conclusion of business when he sees his expression.
Who could make him talk on the phone for so long?
Thinking of this, Sui Qingliu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, she put Yu Jingbo's call sheet on the chair, spread it out, and checked it carefully. This "130" appeared four times, and none of the shortest calls were less than ten minutes.
Sui Qingliu stuffed the call slip into her handbag, and then made a decision: she wanted to check the number.
She walked up to the front desk and made this request to the staff of the business hall, but the other party politely rejected her request for an inquiry on the grounds that she did not have permission. She sat back in her chair and was stunned for a moment. After a while, she suddenly remembered that one of her high school classmates worked at a mobile company.
Sui Qingliu walked out of the business hall and made a phone call to the classmate, and she expressed her wishes as tactfully as possible, for fear that the other party would think that she did not believe in her husband.
To her surprise, her classmates readily agreed without asking too much about anything. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little melancholy: "Have I become that kind of suspicious yellow-faced woman too?" she thought a little aggrieved.
Sui Qingliu walked slowly on the way home, she could have taken the bus, but she was in a bad mood and would rather walk.
Just as she was thinking, her cell phone rang, and it was her classmate calling. The classmate didn't talk to her politely, and told her directly: "This number does not have real-name authentication, and I can't find out who the owner is." ”
