Chapter 5: Worship
When Yi Xinnong returned to Changfeng Community on Xuefu Road, the night had been completely suppressed, and the memories along the way were like stormy winds.
She couldn't remember how to end the protracted silence, how she got out of the mall and got into a taxi, and how she hung up Yu Qing's phone and drove from Meiyuan East Road to Xuefu Road.
The man's face, expression, and the scent of his body were all blurred, like neon in an out-of-focus lens, with only damp patches of color.
"Girl, it's here. β
Yi Xinnong heard the sound, only to find that the car had been parked at the gate of the community. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code behind the driver's seat, and the driver smiled, "Girl, didn't you say that you have already paid? β
"Oh" Yi Xinnong was stunned, put the phone back in his bag, pulled the car door and walked down.
"Oh, girl, I haven't looked for your money yet. The driver only saw the girl stepping into the community quickly, the retractable door fell behind her, the girl had disappeared from his field of vision, he said to himself, "What are you panicking about?" shook his head and let go of the accelerator and disappeared without a trace.
Yi Xinnong eagerly quickened her pace, she wanted to hurry back to her nest, and then sleep without thinking about anything, the amount of information this afternoon was too much for her, and she felt that she was overwhelmed for a while.
"Eh, girl, there's your delivery here. When she passed by the courier point at the turn of the community, she was suddenly stopped by the enthusiastic proprietress inside.
Yi Xinnong didn't know it, but walked all the way forward, the proprietress came out of the store with a package, and called her at the top of her voice, she was stunned, turned around, pointed her right hand at herself, and showed a questioning expression.
"Yes, your surname is Yi, and the end number of your mobile phone is, right? β
Yi Xinong walked back, took the package from the proprietress in confusion and looked at the information on it, everything was correct, the package was heavy, there were two or three catties, and I didn't know anything. But in the past half a month, there has been basically no online shopping, how can I receive something.
I want to be ashamed, Yi Xinong is a famous housegirl, since living in the Changfeng community, food, clothing, housing and transportation basically rely on online shopping, especially in the first half of the year when she redecorated the house, but also ran the express point every day, and the aunt knew her.
She thanked her aunt, the doubts in her heart diluted a little of the upset just now, she slowed down and fumbled for her phone in her bag, she wanted to see the purchase history, if there was an accidental order. But the fingerprint unlocking of the mobile phone several times was unsuccessful, and she was too lazy to put the package on the ground and try it with her other hand, only to feel more irritable in her heart, so she stuffed the mobile phone into the bag angrily and stopped thinking about it.
When I woke up, the watch hand on the wall was lit up at 3:55, and Yi Xinnong heard the occasional high-powered car outside the window pressing on the accelerator and whistling by.
She lifted the curtain to a corner, only to see that the whole community fell into a kind of quiet darkness, as if you could hear everyone's happy snoring, at this moment, the darkness will hide and digest all unhappiness and sadness, so that all people fall asleep in their dreams, like children who have been disturbed by the mundane, only responsible for exhaling and inhaling.
But tonight, except for her.
She rarely woke up at three or four o'clock, although she had been through a long, long time when she woke up inexplicably, and then stared at the ceiling with dry eyes, watching it be brightened by the morning light layer by layer.
The air will be cooler and more refreshing around five o'clock, she needs to wrap the quilt tightly at this point, then the chirping of insects and birds, then the alarm bell upstairs and downstairs, the sound of stir-frying, the sound of washing, the waste pipe starts to rattle and lively, and finally the sound of leather shoes and high heels knocking on the floor, then she will get up from bed, wash her face and brush her teeth, eat a simple breakfast, and go to school.
She rolled over to look for her phone on the plug board on the bedside table, but she felt empty, and then touched again, only the lone charging cable fell on the floor.
She sighed, turned on the lamp, but it was still gone, only to remember that when she came back in the middle of the night, she threw her phone at the door and fell asleep under the soft quilt. She walked into the living room and saw her coat, bag, and phone messily scattered on the couch, and the mysterious package on the coffee table.
She walked over, turned the package upside down and looked at it several times, carefully checked the information, and found that everything was correct, so she had to take out the key and use the sharpest hand to unpack the package, only to see that inside was a jar of honey wrapped in a plastic bottle.
The packaging is simple and concise, the honey is pure and thick in color, shining under the light, Yi Xinong only feels more confused, she didn't buy honey. So I took out my mobile phone and was about to go through the online shopping records, but the moment I opened the mobile phone, I saw a WeChat on the interface, and the time was half past ten in the evening.
"Xiao Yi, haven't you eaten honey for a long time, this time I went home and brought you a can, I could have returned to City A in the past two days, I could have given it to you in person, but the department suddenly asked me to open it, I will arrive as soon as next Saturday, I am afraid that this little gluttonous cat will be delayed in the past few days to eat honey, so I sent it first." β
It's Zhao Silei.
Yi Jingran looked at the pearlescent honey, and there was an indescribable emotion surging in his chest. After all, she still picked up her mobile phone and slowly typed a "thank you", but deleted it, she couldn't reply to him at this time, otherwise according to his doctor's professional inertia, she would have to ask questions tomorrow.
Zhao Silei is the senior of Yi Xinong junior high school and high school, and also a doctor of a famous medical university in City A, focusing on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. Their school's cardiovascular major ranks first in the country, and although Zhao Silei is still a student, because of his excellent grades, he has participated in the research work of the tertiary hospital in City A, and as Professor Fu's protΓ©gΓ©, he participated in large and small medical seminars across the country with him.
He has always been so good, first with the third place in Anshi City from Shuguang Middle School to the city's best high school No. 1 Middle School, and then with the top 30 results in the province to the current national highest medical university, after graduation and straight to the school, published countless journals, at a young age has been a little famous in the industry.
He has always been a role model for Yi Xinnong to follow, every time Yi Xinnong feels tired and bitter, and can't hold on anymore, he will think about the glowing senior, and she is full of energy for a moment.
Yi Xinong didn't expect that his casual words would make him travel thousands of miles to send honey, she knew this honey and packaged canned food, this is her rural hometown Uncle Liu's family when she was a child, Uncle Liu has been beekeeping all his life, in the end he didn't learn to sell online, but just kept the old method and sold it around, so it can be roughly concluded that Zhao Silei made a special trip.
Before leaving, Zhao Silei asked her to have dinner together, saying that he was going to Z City, which is not far from his hometown, and he would go for at least a week. Come to think of it, all those who stay in the big city to work hard will have a moment of burnout, and what they miss after reading the prosperity is all the old things.
The two of them chatted a lot, and Yi Xinong sighed that every time she went back to her hometown, she felt very strange, especially when her hometown was demolished a few years ago, and she felt that people were like rootless duckweed, and she didn't know where she would drift.
She didn't expect him to buy it, the location of the seminar is in Z City, although Z City is not too far from her hometown Anshi, but even if you take the high-speed rail, it will take an hour, not to mention, her hometown has been demolished three years ago, a person who has never been to her hometown, how did she find Uncle Liu, and how to find his new address, and send her honey.
Thinking of this, Yi Xinnong smiled softly, she actually forgot, hasn't the senior always been so omnipotent?
Before leaving, he also asked Yi Xinnong a question, that is, whether she would like to be his girlfriend.
Yi Xinong still remembers that when he sent himself home, in the dim light at the entrance of the community, the tone in which he said that sentence was gentle, tentative, and cautious.
The autumn wind was cold that night, and when he said this, the exhaled air curled and blocked his face, but she could still distinguish the anticipation and panic in that expression.
If this confession happened in her girlhood, then she would definitely nod her head and agree immediately, but now she hesitated, perhaps the fleeting hesitation in her eyes was captured by Zhao Silei.
Yi Xinnong obviously saw his eyes darken, but he randomly hid his loss, as if he said it to her and to himself, "It's okay, I don't ask you to answer me now, you think about it, and it's not too late to talk about it when I come back from a business trip." β
Somehow, when Yi Xinong saw Zhao Silei's gray eyes, there was a trace of unbearability in his heart, how could she be so cruel to him, he was obviously so good and dazzling, he deserved the best girl and the best love in the world.
Why did she want him to show such painful eyes, even for a moment, it was a sin. She felt that there was a group of blackbirds in her heart overwhelming, eating and gnawing her heart, and she felt pain, for Zhao Silei, and for herself.
She has such an impulse to promise him, she can't bear it, she really can't bear it, for so many years, she doesn't feel everything Zhao Silei has paid for herself, she sees it all in her eyes, and she remembers it in her heart.
Those bits and pieces, like the delicate rain that moistened her heart that had been closed for many years, she thought that even a cold stone should be warmed, but she couldn't give him any positive response. She felt extremely guilty, so she always refused at first.
He seemed to sense something, knocked her on the head, and said, "Little girl, what do you think, you are my sister, and in the future, my brother is not allowed to return any gifts, and you are not allowed to refuse invitations to dinner." In short, it's not allowed to say no.
She didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, indeed, Zhao Silei never gave himself any hint in that regard. She slowly accepted it, and laughed at herself for thinking too much.
has been in City A for seven years, because of Zhao Silei, he will not be so lonely. She was really grateful, and she was slowly getting used to his occasional appearance in her life, he was usually very busy with research topics, and he only came to see her on holidays, but even if it was enough, it was warm enough.
She felt that such a relationship was comfortable and natural, and since she was ridiculed by Zhao Silei on the head, she never thought that the relationship between the two would have other directions.
Although she also liked him for two years.
