Zhou Wei accompanied her to squeeze the subway, arrived at the station half an hour later, and squeezed down together.

Out of the subway station, Zhou Wei continued to follow.

She finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't you have to go to work?"

Zhou Wei smiled: "I can be absent from work for you." ”

She: "......"

Shaking his head, he probably felt that there was no cure.

"Whatever you like, follow it. ”

She put the hat on her down jacket back over her head, put her hands in her pockets, and weaved and flicked through the crowded subway station, but she still skillfully found the exit she needed.

Coming out of the subway station, the outside suddenly opened up, a very wide main road, opposite the Yunling Cancer Hospital.

Zhou Wei remembered that in the pile of subway tickets before, this place appeared twice.

"Sick?" he asked.

The woman who has been walking in front of her ignores it.

Zhou Wei was a little worried, and quickened her pace and pulled down her sleeve.

"What do you ask?"

"Why should I tell you?" she took and stabbed Zhou at a loss, and touched her forehead, she had already turned and drilled into the side alley.

"Eh, where are you going?"

She didn't look back, and Zhou Wei could only follow quickly.

The alley is just across from the hospital, and the entrance is very narrow, so you don't know until you go in.

There are many small clinics, employment agencies, snack bars, dessert milk tea shops, and noodle restaurants...... There are all kinds of them, and they seem to be very marketable.

Eventually, she stopped in front of a stall selling multigrain pancakes.

"Boss, tenderloin, sausages, brush sweet sauce!"

"Great!"

The uncle at the back of the stall picked up the oil bottle and poured it on the pancake disc, and then scooped up a ball of dough and put it on it, and when it was steaming, he circled around the disc and spread the cake in a circle, flattened and thinned it......

The boss was familiar with his movements, and soon the aroma came out.

Zhou Wei asked, "Eat this?"

She didn't say anything, but took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, it was only past eight o'clock in the morning.

"To eat or not to eat?" the voice was soft.

Zhou Wei didn't hear clearly for a while.

"I ask you if you want to eat?" she asked again, her voice raised.

Zhou Wei looked at the cake on the disc, which was almost ready, and began to brush the sauce on it.

The backs of the stall owner's hands were covered in frostbite.

"You can try!"

"Boss, please spread another one, add one more egg, and the rest is the same as mine!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The boss happily rolled up the finished piece and folded it in two pieces into a bag.

She took it, tore open the plastic bag and took a bite first, and it was fragrant.

The boss asked while selling the cakes, "How does it taste?"

"Delicious!" she replied, a smile on her face, shining brightly over the rising sun.

Zhou Yan had palpitations for a moment, and suddenly heard her shouting: "Don't put green onions!"

The boss was about to sprinkle green onions on it when he stopped.

The corners of Zhou Wei's lips raised slightly, lowered his head slightly, and leaned into her ear: "Remember that I don't eat green onions?"

Her back stiffened, and she flashed to the side, munching on the cake.

The stall owner had already handed over the cake, and Zhou Wei took it with a smile and asked, "How much?"

"It's an old business, count it as ten yuan. ”

Zhou Wei took out his wallet and drew a hundred-yuan bill.

The stall owner looked embarrassed, "I can't find it!"

"Here you go> Zhou Wei touched the phone again, unlocked it, and entered the > She peeked beside her and saw the familiar gray rabbit above.

It's strange that people's memories are like a switch, which can be ignored for three years, or they can make all the fragments flood just because of one avatar.

She turned around and continued to nibble on the cake, but she didn't know the taste until a box of soy milk was handed over to her.

"Take it. ”

"No!"

"I don't like to eat, but I also hold warm hands. ”

The soy milk was bought at a cake stall, a copycat brand, but it was kept in boiling water by the stall owner.

She glanced at Zhou Wei and took it.

The outer box of soy milk is very hot, and it is warm in your hand.

"Who said I don't eat. ”

She ripped off the straw that had been stained on it, inserted it in, and took a big sip.

Zhou Wei: "......" He silently turned around and took a bite of the cake.

It's a weird combination, a woman in a black down jacket and a handsome man in a haute couture coat, both of whom stand against the wall on the left and right, both holding a multigrain pancake in their hands.

The wind in the alley was very strong, occasionally uncovering the corners of his clothes, and blowing the ends of her eyebrows.

There are people passing by in front of me, the aunt who came back from grocery shopping, the uncle who came back from walking, and the young man who drove an electric car to work nearby.

The world is noisy, so it's not lively.

Zhou Wei turned around just to see the sauce on the corner of her mouth.

"Mouth. ”

"What?"

"Here!"

He reached over and pressed his fingertips to wipe it gently for her.

Everything is plain and natural, like the wind in this alley, the warm sun in winter, so ordinary that no one pays attention to it, but God knows how chaotic his heart is.

Marvel at the wonder of human encounters.

At this moment, he felt that he was still in a dream.

"Chang'an..."

The woman in front of her woke up from a dream, and quickly turned her face away.

"It's time. ”

She dropped the four words, threw the little cake left in the bag into the trash can along with half a box of unfinished soy milk, and turned around and walked out of the alley.

Zhou Wei lost his mind for a moment and hurried to follow.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the lobby of the cancer hospital was already packed.

Patients, family members from all over the city, and even from all over the country, come here with a little humble hope.

Chang An squeezed into the crowd to register.

"Help me hang Director Liu's number!"

"Director Liu is sitting in the expert clinic today, and the registration fee is 24, do you want it?"

"Yes!"

She prepared 24 yuan of change and passed it into the window, but soon a voice came from inside, "Director Liu's account for today is all hung up." ”

"What?" she couldn't believe. "It's only 9 o'clock, why is it hanging up so quickly?"

The middle-aged woman at the window glanced at her, "It's normal, others come to line up before dawn, what time are you, and you still have to hang Director Liu's number?"

She was confused for a moment.

The inside urged again: "Do you still hang up? Don't hang up the people behind!"

She hurriedly replied: "Hang it, give me a new number for someone else!"

The middle-aged woman clicked a few times on the computer keyboard, "Room 307, general outpatient clinic, 7 pieces!"

Paid the money and took the registration order.

"Where can I get the report?"

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes again, "I don't know, go to the service desk and ask yourself, next!"

“……”

Zhou Wei saw that she was holding the list and finally squeezed out of the team.

"What the hell is the problem, why do you want to come to the hospital?" or the cancer hospital.

She didn't say a word, and after half a circle in the hall, she finally found the service desk.

There were two nurses standing at the service desk, both with red ribbons on their chests, and their faces looked much more beautiful than the women at the registration window.

She walked over and asked, "I did an MRI and AFP here last week, where can I get the report!"

The person at the desk looked at it and told me where to pick up the report, which was in another building.

She searched for the past according to her memory, and Zhou Wei chased and asked almost all the way.

"What a problem!"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Speak, Chang'an!"

"Can you be quiet for a while?" she replied coldly, and swore dirty words.

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment.

The woman stared at him for a few seconds and bowed her head.

"I'm sorry, I'm ......" she gasped for breath as if at a loss, and only spoke after a long pause, "It's not me who is sick, it's Xiaozhi." ”

Zhou Wei frowned, "Ding Xiaozhi, that little girl in the shelter?"

"Hmm..."

"What disease?"

"Suspected liver cancer. After speaking, she sneered again, "But it has basically been diagnosed, and this time it is just a retest." ”

“……”

Zhou Wei didn't know what to say for a while, but it was very inauthentic, and the stone hanging in his heart fell.

As long as she's not sick.

After that, Zhou Wei accompanied her to get the report, and queued in the outpatient clinic for more than an hour, and it was already noon when it was her turn to go in.

It was a female doctor in her 40s, wearing thick glasses, holding a stack of reports and test sheets, including medical records from previous visits, flipping through them one by one, and putting the films on the reading lamp to read for several minutes.

"Suspected primary liver cancer, here, liver epithelium, mesenchymal tissue, this piece has a shadow. ”

Her face froze, but fortunately she was mentally prepared before.

"Isn't it serious?"

The female doctor pushed down her thick glasses again, "It seems that the film should still be in the early stage, and the symptoms are not very obvious, but it is best to have a pathological test, is the patient here today?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you'd better go back and bring the person over and do a new test, and the results will come out to confirm whether it's early, middle or late. ”

The doctor's meaning is already clear.

She took the stack of reports and test sheets and thanked them.

Walking out of the hospital, the sun was shining, and the snow on the ground had not yet melted, stabbing people's eyes.

Zhou Yan saw that she was in a trance, and he was not very relieved.

"It's noon, why don't you find a place to eat first?" he proposed, and was ready to be rejected by her, but the person in front of him stopped and turned around.

"Where do you want to eat?"

In the end, the two found a restaurant near the hospital to eat Cantonese food, which was not a big place, but it was very clean.

Zhou Wei ordered a few dishes and a soup according to her previous taste, and asked, "Do you want a dessert?"

The woman on the other side laughed, "No need. ”

"Don't want to eat?"

"I'm not used to it. ”

One sentence made Zhou Wei feel sullen in his heart.

"Okay, that's it for now. ”

He closed the cookbook and handed it back to the waiter.

The two of them didn't talk while waiting for the food, they just sat facing each other, which was rare to be so quiet.

Zhou Wei still felt a little unreal, especially when she was still sitting by the window, taking off her down jacket, which was still the light gray turtleneck sweater she wore last night, and her pale and thin face was facing the window, leaving him a silhouette, but the sun was wrapped around her, which made Leng Xiao's face a little softer.

She was clearly within reach, but she was afraid that if she touched it, it would come to naught.

This torment tormented Zhou Wei, he was greedy, obsessed, afraid of breaking this rare quiet, and afraid that time would be stretched out and there would be no progress.

"You ......"

"Do you mind?"

"Mind what?" he was about to say when he was suddenly interrupted.

The woman opposite took out a box from her bag and skillfully tore open the transparent plastic paper on it.

"I want to smoke a cigarette. ”

She said so, and did so, took a cigarette from the carton and put it in her mouth, touched the lighter, covered a little wind, and pointed her head on the side a little, took a puff, and spit out the white mist.

All the movements are done in one go, so familiar that it seems to have been done a thousand times.

Zhou Wei's expression at that time was undoubtedly like someone had knocked him on the head, shocked and puzzled, but more of an inexplicable anger.

She laughed, flicking the cigarette ash in her hand.

"What, can't you get used to it?"

"When did you learn to smoke?"

"It's been several years. ”

"How many years? You've only been away from me for a few years?" he asked, and he could read the doubts in his eyes, "where have you been all these years, and what has happened?"

She still just laughed, sneering, and spitting white smoke rings.

"Didn't I tell you, I was injured, I recuperated for a while, and then I found a man to live. ”

"Who?

He said his name coldly, and a trace of consternation flashed in her eyes, but it quickly subsided.

Thinking about his style of doing things, he must have been completely prepared before attacking.

"Now that you know everything, still ask?"

"I just said it, I don't believe a word of what you said!"

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Because ......"

"Do you think you can control everything, or do you think you are loved by everyone and I can't have a better choice but you?"

"Better?"

"Yes, better!"

"You mean Ding Shouquan?"

"Can't you?"

She argued with reason, Zhou Wei lowered his head and sneered, "I may still believe it if I want to change Chen Haodong, but what Ding Shouquan, semi-literate, unemployed vagrant, doesn't even have a serious job, and his age is almost a lap older than you, I can't figure out what attracts you to him!"

"Ho... You've already checked his information, but since you asked, I might as well tell you. She took another puff of cigarette, squinted her eyes and spit out the smoke ring, "Although he is uneducated, he is honest, honest, and sincerely good to me, and will not let me be wronged because of those women outside, although I am poor, but I have enough food and clothing, I am not a greedy and vain woman, in fact, I used to be tired of dealing with those high-ranking compounds, and finally back to my age, he is only nine years older than me, and he is similar to you, where do you think you are young?"

One sentence almost made Zhou Wei vomit to death.

He leaned back in his chair and let out a hard breath.

I used to know that she was sharp-toothed, but there was still a little room for talking, but now it's good, no matter if there is no room for it, it hurts to claw wherever it hurts.

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you. He raised his hand and raised the white flag, knowing that there was no point in arguing endlessly with her.

She didn't tell the truth, he didn't press it, he would find a way to find out for himself.

"Let's not talk about what your relationship with this Ding Shouquan is, even if there is anything, I won't mind, because there is no need to fight with a dead man. ”

"You ......"

"There is another point I also need to remind you, we have received a certificate, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has also registered, and we are a legal husband and wife, I thought you were gone, but now that we are fine, we are still husband and wife. ”

"You ......"

"Okay, I won't fight with you about this today, I'll eat first, and I'll send you back after eating!"

Just as the waiter brought the food up.

Zhou Wei laid out the plates and chopsticks for her, and called the waiter to stop, "Lick a vanilla pudding." ”

"I don't eat it!"

"You can't get used to it, do you?

“……”

A frustrating meal, it must have been unpleasant, Zhou Wei only barely drank half a bowl of soup, but the person opposite seemed to have a good appetite, ate most of the bowl of rice, and ate a lot of dishes, but the pudding didn't move.

But it didn't matter, she ate a lot, and he was very satisfied with that.

Zhou Wei finished the order, took the coat on the chair and stood up.

"Let's go, send you back!"

The woman ignored it, took the lead out of the store, and wanted to cross the street to go to the subway station, but was stopped by Zhou Wei.

"What do you do?"

"Take a taxi!"

"You take a taxi, I'll go back the same way!"

"I'll go back with you, too. ”

"You ......"

Zhou Wei smiled: "My car is still in Yugang, I have to go back to get the car first, let's go together, it's a waste not to sit anyway." ”

After thinking about it, I probably think it makes sense.

If you ask her what is the one rule of life that she has learned the most over the years, it is "accept the reality, don't suffer unnecessary grievances!"

Zhou Wei stopped a car on the side of the road, opened the back door, and asked her to go first, but she pulled the co-pilot and sat in.

He shook his head and smiled, intending not to bother with her.

It's been three years, the spring grass has grown and withered, the flowers have failed and bloomed, and everything in the world is changing, let alone people.

And it wasn't an overnight thing for her to be like this, it felt like a different person from beginning to end.

Zhou Wei knew that she must have been through something.

It doesn't matter, he survived the hardest and most painful times, and now every minute and every second is better than then, what else can he bear.

The car arrived at the Gang.

She got out of the car first and slammed the door.

Zhou Wei followed a few steps after paying the money and walked to the side of his car.

"Hey!"

She didn't look back.

He smiled and shouted at her back, "I'll look for you again." ”

“……”

When the car started, she also happened to turn into the alley, and when she heard the wheels running over the stone slab at the entrance of the alley, she drove away with a few knocks, and then she stopped and leaned against the base of the wall.

Chang An, Chang An, do you think fate is really ironic? When you are full of hope, it will send you to hell at once, and when you are willing to bury hell, it will suddenly pour a ray of sunshine above your head.

But this hell is enough for her to go alone, so why drag him with her?

"Hey, who's that man, why do you keep pestering you?"

Suddenly there was a voice in my ears.

Chang An was startled, stood up straight, looked up and saw Wu Feng leaning on the alley with a cigarette in his mouth, and then he was shocked again, this time it was not his sudden appearance, but he was surprised by a brand-new outfit, a gray suit on the upper body, trousers of the same color on the lower body, shiny leather shoes, a flower shirt inside, and a big gold chain hanging on the exposed neck.

The hair, which was always messy, is also combed shiny today, and it is estimated that even a Category 10 typhoon will not be able to blow it.

Chang An: "Why don't you make a sound when you walk?"

Wu Feng: "What, you can think about things here by yourself." He paced closer, "Hey, tell me, who is that man, does he have a crush on you and want to chase you?"

Chang An glanced at it.

I wanted to question him about the key, but when I saw him like this, I didn't want to ask at all.

"You think too much, I don't know. ”

Chang An turned around and walked into the alley with a perfunctory sentence, but Wu Feng was reluctant and chased after him chattering.

"I don't know the ghost, I see that he is staring at you so closely, either he wants to soak you or seek revenge. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I'm just curious to ask, promise not to say it!"

“…… Hey, you're a friend, aren't you? That man looks a little funny, if he really likes you, he will let me look back and let me ...... a little light."

Chang An couldn't stand his muttering, stopped, and suddenly raised his hand and pretended to dust off his collar.

"The suit is good, and this gold chain has to cost a lot of money, right? It seems that you have a lot of luck lately! If you go back to ask for debts, I will leave your mobile phone number to the other party, otherwise how about letting them go to your door directly?"

Wu Feng's eyes widened, and then he waved his hand, "Okay, even if I'm afraid of you, don't ask, don't ask the general line!" After speaking, he shrank his thin body, and trembled away with his hands in his sleeves.

Chang An shook his head and smiled, thinking that on such a cold day, let you wear a spring dress and freeze you to death!

She returned to her accommodation, sorted out the test sheets, reports, and films, packed them in a file bag, and went out with a new scarf.

On the way, I called Jiang Qin and learned that Ding Xiaozhi had been discharged from the hospital in the morning.

It was still early, Chang An went to buy another box of snacks and took the bus to Sunflower.

The children in the garden were not very enthusiastic when they saw her, because in the eyes of the children she was a strange person.

Always comes and goes without a shadow, lonely, and rarely buys any gifts or candy to bring over, even if he buys, he will only give Ding Xiaozhi alone.

However, when she taught the children to draw, the children still liked her, after all, she was patient and did not have so many rigid rules.

Usually, Chang Anlai always went straight to find Ding Xiaozhi, but today he went to Jiang Qin's office.

Jiang Qin was doing the accounts when she saw her come in and said hello.

"Xiaozhi is recovering well, and the doctor said that there will be no sequelae, you can rest assured. ”

Chang An said "um", of course she knew that food allergic shock would not have any sequelae.

"Director Jiang, I came to you today for something else. ”

"Something else?"

"Yes, something else, about Ding Xiaozhi's illness. She opened the bag she had brought with her and spread out the lab reports and reports on her desk.

Jiang Qin was stunned, "What are you doing here?"

"This is all the tests that Xiaozhi has done recently, and it has basically been diagnosed, primary liver cancer, which should be genetic, because his father was a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, and he also died because of this disease. ”

Jiang Qin recovered from the shock and glanced at the test sheets on the table.

"So, what's the use of you telling me this?"

"I... Hope you can save her. ”

"Shall I save her?" Jiang Qin smiled helplessly, "I also want to save her, but I also have to have this ability, and you should know what the situation is in the garden, there are no last meals, not to mention any cancer, even minor illnesses and pneumonia and the like have no money to be allocated for the treatment of children, and you are terminally ill..."

"It's not a terminal disease, it's really not a terminal disease!" Chang An explained, "The possibility of liver cancer being cured by surgery is still very high, especially for early liver cancer, the cure rate can reach more than 50%." ”

"So what!" Jiang Qin stacked all those reports into a pile, "The cost of surgery is not something that can be solved by one or two thousand, not to mention the one-time operation fee to the hospital, and the medicine for later recuperation cannot be afforded." ”

"I know!" Chang An knew the situation in the garden, "I don't force all of your appropriations, I can contribute a part." ”

"How much can you give?"

Chang An bit his lip and thought for a while, "More than 30,000, all my savings." ”
