CHAPTER XIII
Country D, Ming Xi knew that Ming Qiao had come to look for him after returning to country D, but he never had a chance to ask what was going on.
Until Mingqiao's research institute sent him on a business trip to Lingbei, he came to Mingxi to say a word. Ming Xi happened to receive an invitation from the Ji family.
"Mingqiao, the Ji family's Ji Xinliang's birthday private banquet, if you show your face on behalf of our Ming family, I won't go. ”
Saying that, Ming Xi handed the invitation to Ming Qiao.
"Ji Xinliang, Fu Xi's younger brother, I heard that he is studying in retreat, how can he still be in the mood to hold a birthday banquet?" Mingqiao took the invitation and looked at it carefully, "Three days later?"
"Well," Ming Xi said, "You just went to the Ji family to have a look after solving the matter in Lingbei." ”
"Okay. Mingqiao nodded.
"By the way, when I went back to Lingbei last time, I heard that you came to look for me, what's the matter? You didn't come during this time, so I didn't ask much, is it solved?"
Mingqiao said: "It's okay, in fact, I just saw a medical record when I was statistical, which was quite interesting..."
"Medical records? Ming Xi didn't blame Ming Qiao, after all, no doctor would be resistant to interesting medical records.
"We'll talk about it when I get back," Mingqiao said with a smile, "I won't be able to tell for a while." ”
"Okay, you stay safe. Ming Xi admonished, and Mingqiao stepped on the plane to Lingbei overnight.
···
On the day of Ji Xinliang's birthday banquet.
The Ji family's private banquet was not a dozen people eating together around a round table, but an outdoor banquet was held in the small garden in front of the old house.
Du Huan chatted with the old man of the Ji family, although Ji Xinliang was not in the circle of medicine, but he grew up in this circle since he was a child, so he naturally knew each other, Fu Xi received the news: Mingqiao is here, and Ji Xinliang personally went to the door to receive him.
"Brother Mingqiao, it's been a long time!"
Ji Xinliang and Fu Xi took Mingqiao to the banquet together, Mingqiao smiled and said, "It's been a long time, I heard your brother say that you are studying in retreat, how about it?"
Ji Xin said with a cool smile: "I met a good senior sister, and I have been doing well recently." ”
"That's good!"
The three of them had already arrived at the small garden within a question and answer.
Everyone is basically a rookie in the medical circle, similar in age, with a similar temper, and chatting about extraordinarily speculative, Mingqiao is a leader among his peers, and he quickly blends in.
Ji Xinliang looked around and found that Lou Lihe was not in the crowd, so he asked Fu Xi to greet everyone and go to Lou Lihe himself.
Where is Lou Lihe?
She rests in a small pavilion in the southwest corner of the garden, with a plate of snacks and a cocktail on a stone table.
Ji Xinliang knew that she didn't like to be lively, so he only looked for her in a quiet place, and sure enough, he soon found her.
"Rikazu!"
Hearing someone call his name, Lou Lihe turned his head, "Why did you find it?"
"When I saw you weren't there, I knew you were hiding. Ji Xinliang sat on the stone bench beside Lou Li and beside him, "Drink more tonight, I specially asked them to prepare the wine, and I guarantee that you like it." ”
"Thank you. The tone is soft, like a marshmallow.
Hearing this, Ji Xinliang asked, "How many drinks have you had?"
"Three cups. Lou Lihe stretched out three fingers.
When Ji Xinliang saw Lou Lihe's state, he understood that she was already a little drunk, and he specially ordered someone to prepare a high-level cocktail today, but after only drinking three glasses, Ji Xinliang began to determine that Lou Lihe was actually not drinking much, what made her think that she had a good amount of alcohol?
"Is Du Xinyan here?" asked Lou Lihe.
"Uncle invited her, but she hadn't arrived yet. ”
Lou Lihe nodded.
"What, you still want to fight with her?" Ji Xinliang teased Lou Lihe.
Lou Li and her cheeks were like roses, she smiled coquettishly, and shook her head: "If I quarrel with her today, your birthday party will be ruined." ”
"You're kind of thinking about me. Ji Xinliang saw that she was still sensible, but she couldn't hide her feelings, so she had the intention of teasing, "Pear and..."
"Hmm. ”
"Are you drunk?"
"I'm massive, how can I get drunk?" he said, taking a sip of the cocktail on the table.
Ji Xinliang covered his mouth, thought of something, and suddenly said: "Lihe, let me ask you a question, you have to answer truthfully." ”
"Hmm. ”
Ji Xinliang asked, "What's in the box under your desk?"
"I don't know. Lou Lihe said slowly.
"Isn't that your box?"
"It's mine. ”
"Then why don't you know what it is?"
"I don't remember. ”
Ji Xinliang was helplessly convinced that Lou Lihe was really drunk, so he would answer with a straight look.
"Do you know Ming Xi?" Ji Xinliang rarely saw Lou Lihe so well-behaved, so he asked again tentatively.
"Recognize. ”
"How do you know him?" Ji Xinliang was a little surprised, so he asked.
"Psychotherapy. ”
Ji Xinliang was stunned for a moment, could it be that Ming Xi was Lou Li and the doctor of psychotherapy in country D?
Ji Xinliang asked again: "What psychological problems do you have?"
Lou Lihe was silent for a long time, and just when Ji Xinliang thought she wouldn't speak, she said, "No... I don't remember. ”
···
The night breeze was slightly cool, Ji Xinliang was stunned for a long time, he didn't understand what Lou Lihe meant, and was about to ask, when he heard Fu Xi outside the pavilion shouting to himself: "Xinliang!"
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Fu Xi and Mingqiao walking over together.
"Brother!"
Ji Xinliang hurriedly stood up, and for some reason he slightly blocked Lou Lihe behind him.
The two walked into the pavilion, and Mingqiao smiled: "Xinliang will be happy and quiet now." ”
Fu Xidao: "I guess I learned it from my junior sister." ”
"Your junior sister Xijing?"
"Well," Fu Xi found that there seemed to be a woman's figure behind Ji Xinliang, and couldn't help but tease: "Xinliang, who is behind you?"
Mingqiao, who said this, also poked his head out curiously.
"Nobody..."
Ji Xinliang tried to push the two away, but he didn't want the person behind him to come out by himself, and said stupidly, "I'm Lou Lihe." ”
···
The pavilion fell silent, Ji Xinliang because he didn't know how to explain his behavior, Fu Xi because he didn't know why Lou Lihe would whisper here with his younger brother, and Mingqiao because he didn't expect Lou Lihe to appear in front of him again, or in such a situation.
Someone finally broke the silence, "Ji Xinliang, pour me wine." ”
Lou Lihe took the empty wine glass and shook it in front of Ji Xinliang, "Pour the wine." ”
Ji Xinliang had no choice but to take Lou Lihe's wine glass and helped her sit down: "Okay, okay, I'll bring you wine, you sit here obediently first." ”
"Good. ”
Fu Xi and Mingqiao were dumbfounded on the side, and Mingqiao couldn't believe that this was Lou Lihe he knew.
As long as she had the coquettish appearance she has today, they would not have broken up so embarrassed.
Ji Xinliang said to the two, "Brother, I'll go get her wine first, and you can help me take care of her." ”
Fu Xi nodded stunned.
When Ji Xinliang left, Fu Xizhen couldn't help but sit down and interrogate Lou Lihe: "Senior sister, what were you talking about with my brother just now?"
"Huh?" Lou Lihe looked over, "··· We're saying... Chest...
Box? Fu Xi instantly thought of the box that Ji Xinliang asked him to investigate, but it was inconvenient for him to ask in this place.
Mingqiao opened his mouth, but it was Fu Xi who asked: "She is what you said, the person who tutored Xinliang?"
Fu Xi nodded, he thought that Mingqiao didn't know Lou Lihe: "Mingqiao, this is my senior sister, I used to study in country D..."
Mingqiao didn't wait for Fu Xi to say the name, but said it himself, "Lou Lihe." ”
"You know?" Fu Xi was a little surprised.
Mingqiao looked at Lou Lihe who was dazed on the side, "Of course I know, no matter how familiar she is, she is the person I told you." ”
“··· Lou Lihe is the one who dumped you?" Fu Xi turned his head and looked at Lou Lihe carefully, he really didn't expect that Lou Lihe and Mingqiao would have a past.
Wait, what was Ji Xinliang's attitude just now? Could it be that Ji Xinliang and Lou Li are together now? Fu Xi was shocked when he thought of this.
And Mingqiao on the side had already calmed down after the initial surprise, and he could see that Lou Li seemed to be different from usual.
He sat next to Lou Lihe and asked softly, "Lihe, do you know who I am?"
Fu Xi watched from the sidelines, not knowing what Mingqiao wanted to do.
Lou Lihe slowly raised his head, looked at Mingqiao's face carefully, and replied, "Mingqiao." ”
"Who is Mingqiao?"
Lou Li and crooked his head, "My, ex-boyfriend." ”
Fu Xi also found out that Lou Lihe seemed to be drunk at this time, but he didn't know if Mingqiao was suitable for this, but it was inconvenient to stop him.
Mingqiao continued to ask, "What is your relationship with Mingke?" ”
Lou Lihe, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
Ming Ke: That genius boy of the Ming family finally gave up medicine because of sickness? Why did Ming Qiao suddenly mention him?
Fu Xi sighed in his heart while being confused: There are countless proud sons in the Ming family's life, but three of them are the most outstanding, I didn't expect this Lou Li to be involved with the three of them.
Fu Xi believes that Ji Xinliang is still as far away from Lou Li as possible.
At this moment, Ji Xinliang came back with wine.
Seeing that the two were surrounding Lou Lihe and thought something had happened to her, he hurriedly rushed over and threw the wine aside, "What's wrong with Lou Li and you?"
"Well, I'm fine. Lou Lihe took the wine that Ji Xinliang put on the table and took a sip, "It's delicious, thank you." ”
Ji Xinliang stared at her for a while, "You're drunk." ”
"Nope. "Lou Li and the drunken are like coquettishness.
aroused the attention of Fu Xi and Mingqiao, Mingqiao was bitter in his heart, he never knew that Lou Li and he were in such a state after being drunk.
Ji Xinliang felt that Lou Lihe's appearance was not suitable for Fu Xi and Mingqiao to see, so he wanted to help her leave, but Lou Lihe broke away from his arm: "What are you doing, if I don't leave, I'm going to stay here." ”
"I'll help you go to rest, okay?"
Ji Xinliang found that today's Lou Li and Shen were more ambiguous than that day's drunk, and they were more ambiguous. Ji Xinliang could only help her, Lou Lihe loved to sleep when he was drunk, and now he felt tired after saying a lot of words, and snorted like a kitten, "Bed..."
"I'll take you. Ji Xinliang knew that she was sleepy, so he helped her back to the old house, and when she walked to the pavilion, she remembered to say goodbye to Fu Xi and Mingqiao.
The two walked away, Fu Xi looked at Mingqiao embarrassedly, and found that his eyes always fell on Lou Lihe's body, "Brother Mingqiao..."
"It's okay, I've put it down a long time ago. Mingqiao didn't think it was inappropriate, since he said that he would put it down, he would definitely put it down.
Fu Xidao: "What I'm worried about is that Xinliang has fallen in. ”
Mingqiao said: "It's really worth worrying about. ”
"How?"
Mingqiao looked at Fu Xi: "Lou Lihe is not a mature lover, Xinliang will be hurt." ”
···
Ji Xinliang didn't know the worries of his two elder brothers, Lou Lihe was now leaning on his arms, his body temperature was transmitted through the thin dress, and he felt his heart beat like a drum.
"Your heart is beating too fast, you're going to be starved of oxygen..."
Lou Lihe, who had been quiet, struggled in Ji Xinliang's arms, turned over, and fell into the other party's arms: "Look at me!"
"What are you doing?" Ji Xinliang couldn't help but hold his breath, didn't dare to move, and could only let the person in his arms twist around.
Lou Lihe stretched out her hand to wrap around Ji Xinliang's neck, such an ambiguous posture made Ji Xinliang very uneasy, but Lou Lihe didn't notice it, she stretched out her thumb and gently pressed it on Ji Xinliang's left neck, muttering: "Left carotid sinus, lower heart rate..."
Hearing this, Ji Xinliang exhaled slowly, it seemed that he was thinking too much...
"Lou Li and Ah Lou Li and... I really can't help you... I really want to take a picture of you like this, and when the time comes, I want you to do anything for me, I will threaten you with this, and I must use a quasi..."
Ji Xinliang pulled away Lou Lihe's hand, "My heart is not beating fast now, I can let go, I'll send you back to the room to rest, okay?"
"Listen. Lou Lihe obediently let go of the fingers that were pressing on Ji Xinliang's neck, and pressed his ears against the other party's chest, "Hmm... It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter..."
Even if she was drunk, she still retained the doctor's habit, "Rest well, don't be too tired, if your heartbeat continues..."
Ji Xinliang listened to Lou Li and still didn't forget to tell these precautions in a daze, and couldn't cry or laugh: "I know, Doctor Lou, I promise to follow the doctor's instructions, don't worry, okay?"
"Good, touch your head. Lou Lihe suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Ji Xinliang's head gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor, don't be afraid..."
Ji Xinliang hugged her and walked towards the house step by step.
Although they were passed by in the dim light, they were still seen by many people in the small garden, including the belated Dusingyan.
"Oh my God, is this season Xinliang planning to announce his girlfriend tonight?"
"Yes, for sure, I said how did I choose such a time for my birthday..."
"But why does that girl look familiar?"
"You know?"
"I couldn't see it just now..."
···
The people around were talking, and Du Xinyan looked at the figures of the two in the distance, but he almost crushed his silver teeth.
"Lou Li and..."
"How dare you, how dare you... You don't have a conscience..."
···
Ji Xinliang didn't have the heart to pay attention to everyone's thoughts, he just thought about quickly helping Lou Lihe, who was getting softer and softer, into the room.
In the lobby, they were meeting the old man of the Ji family and Du Huan and a group of older people.
Looking at the two of them, Du Huan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xinliang, what's wrong with Lihe?"
"It's okay, Grandpa Du, she's just drunk... I'll help her to her room to rest..."
"This kid... How long has the party started..." Du Huan looked at Lou Lihe in Ji Xinliang's arms, "Help her to rest." ”
Lou Lihe leaned on Ji Xinliang's arms, his eyes closed, and he didn't seem to be able to hear the sounds around him.
Ji Xinliang bowed slightly to the elders, and said apologetically: "Okay, I'll help her rest first." ”
···
Looking at the two children who went upstairs, the old man of the Ji family began to be ridiculed by several old friends, and he would soon be able to see his great-grandson.
Ji Yang also admires Lou Lihe, if Ji Xinliang really likes her, then he is very happy, saying that he found Ji Jie and asked some information about Lou Lihe.
"Father... What are you?"
"When the banquet is over, you go to check, I have to prepare to see my in-laws..."
Ji Jie was dumbfounded, and Du Huan laughed so hard that his beard jumped and jumped: "Ji Yang, you are too anxious." ”
The old man of the Ji family said: "Are you not in a hurry, you can't control Du Xinyan anyway, but my Ji Xinliang has finally opened his mind, I have to seize the opportunity..."
Hearing this, the smile on Du Huan's face faded a lot, and Ji Yang hurriedly said, "I specially invited her over, you really don't plan to tell her that you are her grandfather?"
"What is there to say, it's just blood, and my thoughts about her are limited to a glance from afar. Du Huan said lightly.
Ji Yang knows very well how stubborn his old friend is, and this is the other party's private matter, and it involves some people back then, and it is inconvenient for him to persuade him.
···
Ji Xinliang helped Lou Lihe to his room, helped her take off her shoes, covered the quilt, and squatted on the side to look at her for a while, and then was about to turn around and leave, but turned around and closed the window again, and closed the curtains, and the noise of the garden was instantly cut off.
"Good night, Lou Lihe. ”
