Chapter 152: The Return
Xia Jingyi asked Assistant Chen to send her back, but Shen Yuxi had a headache that was about to blow up because she hadn't slept all night and cried for a long time. She leaned against the window, her eyes tightly closed, and she seemed to be in pain.
Assistant Chen saw that she was uncomfortable, so he specially drove the car slower. It wasn't a long distance, but it took dozens of minutes to drive.
When he arrived at the compound, Shen Yuxi said thank you to Assistant Chen, and was about to open the door and get out of the car, when Assistant Chen suddenly spoke: "Miss Shen, Mr. Fang has not been doing very well over the years. ”
Shen Yuxi's hand to open the door was stunned for a moment, and a sour feeling welled up in her heart, she stabilized her mind and said softly, "Oh, I know." ”
Assistant Chen continued: "He's getting married. ”
Shen Yuxi took a deep breath and said, "I know it too. ”
Assistant Chen stared at her, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Actually, Mr. Fang is still ......" He stopped, Shen Yuxi was puzzled, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Assistant Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, it's hard for me to say, because I don't quite understand what Mr. Fang is thinking." His marriage was sudden, and there was no warning before. ”
Maybe he suddenly figured it out. Shen Yuxi couldn't hide his sourness.
Assistant Chen saw that her face was not very good, so he didn't say anything anymore. Shen Yuxi immediately opened the door and got out of the car, and hurriedly entered the compound.
Assistant Chen saw her enter the gate, so he took out his mobile phone from the bottom of his mouth and dialed a number.
The other side quickly picked it up, and I didn't know what the other party said, Assistant Chen replied solemnly: "Yes, I watched her enter the door...... It doesn't seem very comfortable...... The face is not very good...... I told her you were getting married...... It seems that I already knew, and there was no special reaction......"
Fang Jidong was silent for a while, and then said softly: "I know, you hang up." You can go back from work and take a good rest, you've worked hard for the past two days. ”
Assistant Chen took the phone and glanced at the door again, Shen Yuxi was gone, and he drove the car out.
As soon as Shen Yuxi entered the courtyard, a yellow and clear dog rushed towards her frantically. She was startled, she was in a dense cold sweat, and she was about to hide in a panic, but the dog suddenly stopped a meter away. His eyes stared at her for a long time, and finally he wagged his tail at her, spun around in front of her, and staggered away.
Shen Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the dog that was leaving, and suddenly thought that it was rhubarb. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Rhubarb still remembered her, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Shen Yuxi entered the house nervously, and probably heard movement outside the house, and someone ran out of the kitchen, it was Aunt Chen who used to cook at home.
"Ah, you're Yuxi, aren't you?" Aunt Chen recognized her at a glance, her eyes full of surprise and joy.
Shen Yuxi nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's me, Aunt Chen, you still remember me." ”
Aunt Chen came up and grabbed her hand, and said excitedly: "Jingyi called me just now, saying that someone was coming, and before I could hear it clearly, she hung up the phone, and it turned out that it was you." ”
Aunt Chen's enthusiasm overwhelmed her, she thought that everyone had forgotten her, but she didn't expect not only to remember her, but also to be so good to her. Her eyes were a little sour, and soon they turned red.
"What's the matter? Why is your face so ugly, are you so tired? I've already cleaned up your room, you hurry upstairs to rest. Don't worry too much about the old man, he is blessed in his life, and he will be fine. ”
"Yes, Aunt Chen, thank you. ”
"Thanks, it's all a family's politeness. I've made soup, and when you're rested, you'll be ready to drink, so hurry up and go upstairs. ”
Shen Yuxi went upstairs and took a simple hot bath, and his mind became even more dizzy. She wrapped herself in a casual bathrobe, climbed into bed and fell asleep.
During this period, someone seemed to enter the room, stood in front of the bed and looked at her for a long time, and finally touched Shen Yuxi's head. She thought it was Aunt Chen, and wanted to open her eyes to see, but she seemed to be in a nightmare, obviously thinking that she was awake, but she couldn't wake up.
Chaotic and complicated dreams followed, and she seemed to return to the old days, when she was with Francis. He was very kind to her, gentle and kind, always greeting her and taking good care of her. The scene suddenly changed, Fang Jidong was wearing a neat suit, with a red flower pinned to his chest, and the word groom was written on it, and next to him stood a girl in a white wedding dress, and the girl was not her. She stood in the distance, crying silently. But Fang Jidong smiled mockingly at her, and she heard him say coldly: "You don't want me, you deserve it." ”
"Yuxi, what's wrong with you? Yuxi, wake up. ”
Shen Yuxi woke up suddenly, and Aunt Chen was looking at her anxiously.
"Yuxi, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Aunt Chen asked her gently.
Shen Yuxi wiped his face, his face was cold. Did she actually cry? She clutched her chest, it was just a dream, why did her heart hurt like this, she felt like she was about to lose her breath. She struggled to sit up from the bed, took the tissue handed by Aunt Chen, and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"What kind of nightmare did you have? Why did you cry like this?"
Shen Yuxi smiled miserably, shook his head and said, "I don't remember." ”
"Have you rested, do you want to go down and drink a bowl of soup?" Aunt Chen said intimately.
Shen Yuxi touched his shriveled stomach, and he was indeed a little hungry. She didn't seem to have eaten anything today, and she was afraid that she would have some other diseases and cause trouble for everyone, so she nodded and said okay.
I went downstairs to the dining room, and there was an empty bowl on the table, as if someone had just eaten it. Aunt Chen looked at Shen Yuxi looking at the bowl and hurriedly explained: "Jidong came back just now, stayed at home for a while, and ate a bowl of noodles. ”
"Is he at home?" Shen Yuxi looked around in a panic, but did not see Fang Jidong's figure.
"I'm not here, I'm gone, I'm gone after eating. It's been half an hour. ”
A touch of loss crossed Shen Yuxi's face, and then he felt relieved. She didn't know how to face him yet, after all, Fang Jidong was no longer single, and they really couldn't have anything to do with it anymore.
Shen Yuxi sat at the table in a distraction, and Aunt Chen brought a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs lying on it.
"Yuxi, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, and I'll serve you a bowl of pork rib soup." ”
Aunt Chen's enthusiasm for her made her want to cry. Why is everyone so good to her, and she has no merits, so she deserves to be treated like this.
After she finished eating, she said goodbye to Aunt Chen, and she still had to go to the hospital.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she saw Fang Jibei arguing with Xia Jingyi about something, but she didn't see Fang Jidong, and he didn't know where he went.
"Mom, you don't have the right to do that. Fang Jibei seemed to be angry, and his tone was very bad.
"This is what your grandfather meant, he had already called your boss before he was hospitalized, did not allow you to go on any more missions, and gave you a month off. You just stay at home and don't go anywhere. Xia Jingyi was also angry, and her voice was raised a lot.
"How can you do that? Isn't this a power for personal gain? If I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have come back. ”
"Jibei, don't blame your grandfather, we already knew about your injury last time, and your brother also helped you cover up. Do you know how worried we are about you? Do you want us to send white-haired people to black-haired people in the future? Jibei, we are all old and can't withstand these storms. Xia Jingyi suddenly softened her attitude, her eyes were slightly red, and she said seriously.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I am a soldier, and I can't have both my family and my country. Although Fang Jibei felt guilty, there was no way to do it.
"Son, are you sorry for your mother? I don't ask you anything, just stay at home for a month. You see that your grandfather's situation is not very good, you are not at home all the year round, this time you should be filial to your grandfather. Xia Jingyi choked up, Fang Jibei couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to wipe Xia Jingyi's tears.
Shen Yuxi was stunned for a while, then hurriedly stepped forward, took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it over. Xia Jingyi glanced at her, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Yuxi is here, why is his face so pale, haven't he had a good rest at home?"
Shen Yuxi touched his face and said, "No, I slept well." I'm fine, Auntie, don't worry about me. ”
"Okay, you have to take care of your body. I'm going to go home, there's something going on in Jidong company. His father's unit can't leave, so you and Jibei will take care of it here first. ”
"Okay, Auntie, you don't have to rush back, you have worked hard in the past two days, go back and have a good rest. ”
Xia Jingyi took her hand and said gently, "Yuxi, I didn't even find out that you were a good girl before. It's all Auntie's fault, otherwise you and Jidong wouldn't have come to this end. Now Jidong is ...... Hey, after all, you are destined to have no part. ”
Shen Yuxi felt sad in his heart, but he still smiled on his face: "Auntie, it's not your fault, the two of us didn't go to the end because I have nothing to do with you." ”
Xia Jingyi patted her hand and sighed again before turning to leave.
Fang Jibei sat in his chair, his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking. She walked over and sat down beside him. Fang Jibei looked up at her and said, "Do you think that I am hard-hearted and leave my family alone, but I have to return to the team for the mission." ”
Shen Yuxi thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "I don't know, you are a soldier, and I have no way to compare with your ideological pattern. All I know is that you are great, and all of you are great. Why do we ordinary people have such a happy and stable life, because you carry the weight forward. ”
Fang Jibei smiled in a low voice, looked at her and said, "If you praise us so much, then the hardships we have endured are worth it." ”
"You are all giving up your small family to take care of everyone, but you also feel very sorry for your aunt. Her wish is very simple, it is to let you stay at home for a month, just for a month, and I think you should say yes. ”
"I haven't seen my mother shed tears, and the year I went to the army, my mother was reluctant, but she didn't cry. When she cried like that just now, I really softened. Fang Jibei couldn't help but sigh, her mother was such a strong person, she actually cried in front of him, if he still returned to the army ruthlessly, it would probably be really unfilial.
"Auntie may have been frightened by your injury, you haven't been so seriously injured before, right?" Shen Yuxi asked curiously.
"It's not unprecedented, it's just that the gunshot wound is the first time. It seems that as soon as everyone hears it, they feel that it is very serious when they are wounded by a gunshot. In fact, it is not as scary as expected. Francis said lightly, as if he had just been pricked with a needle.
"What you say is so light and breezy that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have believed it. Shen Yuxi said helplessly.
"You were brave enough then, if you were someone else, you would have been stupid. Some people still need the intervention of a psychiatrist, and you actually appeared in front of my eyes vividly, crying a handful of snot and tears, and I was still shocked by you. ”
"Didn't I faint too? I don't think you're laughing at me. ”
"Well, I'm obviously complimenting you. ”
Shen Yuxi chuckled lightly and blurted out, "It's the same as your brother." ”
Shen Yuxi was stunned after speaking, and she felt a little embarrassed for a while. Fang Jidong coughed lightly, patted her on the shoulder, and changed the subject: "Well, do you want to drink water?" I'm a little thirsty, I'll go buy two bottles of water." What are you going to drink?"
Shen Yuxi smiled unnaturally: "Mineral water is good." ”
