Chapter Forty-Nine: The Night Returns
The surgery lasted until the evening. After the patient was pushed from the operating room to the intensive care unit, Ji Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
Ms. Mei Lin looked at the time and said to Ji Rong: "Ms. Ye is out of danger for the time being, shall I accompany Professor Ji and Miss Xia to eat something?" ”
Ji Rong waved his hand: "Don't bother Dean Mei Lin." He glanced at the haggard Xia Lian and continued, "We don't have much appetite now, it's not early, Dean Mei Lin, you go and rest." ”
Dean Mei Lin thought about it, didn't force it, and said goodbye before leaving on his own.
"How did Aunt Ye get into a car accident?" Fu Xia Lian sat down, and Ji Rong asked out loud.
"I don't know, I just got a call from the hospital."
"Where's Uncle Xia?"
"He went back to the U.S. a month ago, and I've called him and he's coming back tomorrow." Xia Lian wiped her red and swollen eyes, looked at Ji Rong, and hesitated, "Thank you this time." Last time it was my ......"
Ji Rong waved his hand to interrupt her: "Don't mention the previous things again." ”
Xia Lian was silent for a while, and then spoke: "You and that kind of person-" paused, realized something and quickly changed her words, "How are you and Yun Shu?" ”
Ji Rong was silent and didn't answer, and stood up: "I'll go buy you something to eat." Before Xia Lian could speak, the person had already turned around and walked along the corridor.
He had a slender back, a white shirt on his upper body, and a dark gray suit lying on the bench where he had sit. Xia Lian touched it with her tentacles, and there seemed to be a lingering taste of his charm on it, and she rubbed it repeatedly, the attachment and loss in her heart were entangled, mixed into an indescribable mood.
Ji Rong came back quickly, bought bread and drinks, and handed them to Xia Lian: "Eat some." ”
Xia Lian took it, held it in her hand and didn't move, and said to Ji Rong: "You go back and rest, I'll just keep it." ”
"It's okay, I'm here with you." After a pause, he asked Xia Lian, "What will you interrupt in the future?" Stay home or go to the U.S. with your parents? ”
Xia Lian's eyes dimmed: "I don't know, I should go to the United States, I don't have a job in China, and I don't have any nostalgia." ”
Ji Rong nodded: "It's okay to go to the United States." ”
Sitting with Xia Lian until late at night, Ji Rong sent her to the family escort room and told her: "Rest well, Aunt Ye will get better." ”
Xia Lian snorted: "You go back, be careful when driving at night." ”
Ji Rong nodded and turned to leave. When I walked to the door of the hospital, I met a middle-aged woman with a child who also came out of the hospital, and asked the child with concern as she walked: "Still uncomfortable?" Is it a little better? ”
"Mom, I don't hurt anymore." The child's voice was soft and glutinous, making the middle-aged woman's face show a reassuring smile.
Ji Rong stopped and suddenly spoke: "Mrs. Lin? ”
Hearing the voice, Lin Xi looked back, and when he saw Ji Rong, his eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he smiled a little unnaturally: "Why is Professor Ji here?" ”
Seeing that it was Lin Xi himself, Ji Rong replied: "There is a relative hospitalized here, I will come and take a look." He looked down at Wen Nan, "Is there something wrong with the child?" ”
Lin Xi took Wen Nan to his side: "It's just a little cold, I've already had an injection, and it's much better." ”
Ji Rong nodded with doubts: "If you have time, let's take the child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination." ”
This "hospital" must refer to Wenzhong Hospital.
Lin Xi didn't answer, only said, "It's late, I'll take Wen Nan back first, and then we'll meet." ”
"Hmm." Ji Rong let out a nasal voice and watched the two people, one big and one small, leave.
After getting into the car, Wen Nan sat in the child safety seat and asked Lin Xi in a childish voice: "Mom, who was the uncle just now?" ”
"It's Professor Ji from Dad's Hospital."
"Oh." Wen Nan tilted his head and leaned back on the back of the chair and asked Lin Xi, "Is he very powerful?" ”
"He's the best doctor in the world."
Wen Nan thought for a moment and asked, "Why doesn't my mother take me to my father's hospital every time I get sick?" ”
Lin Xi paused for a moment, glanced at his son from the rearview mirror, and explained gently: "Dad's hospital is a little far away from home, and this hospital is closer to home, which is more convenient." ”
Wen Nan sighed, there was already sleepiness in the soft and glutinous children's voice, and he tilted his head and was about to fall asleep in a daze.
Lin Xi glanced at his son again, started the car, and drove into the dark night.
The late-night wind blows on the face with the smell of midsummer, neither cold nor warm, just the right temperature, comfortable and refreshing. Ji Rong took a deep breath of air, pressed the car key in his hand, and at a distance of 100 meters, the car automatically drove in front of him, and the door opened automatically, silently welcoming the owner. Ji Rong got into the car, the seat belt wrapped around his body, he pinched his eyebrows a little tired, and whispered: "Let's go, go home." ”
"Okay, master, you look a little tired, the seat has been adjusted to massage mode for you, the temperature in the car will also be kept in the most comfortable state according to your physical needs, the car will start immediately, drive at medium speed, and you will be home in about 20 minutes, you can relax and rest." The electronic machine qì person responded immediately.
Ji Rong didn't make a sound, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and rested.
The slight sound of the door opening was almost inaudible through the air to the bedroom on the second floor, but Yun Shu suddenly woke up, turned on the light, got out of bed quickly, and walked to the staircase.
Hearing the movement, Ji Rong followed the voice to the second floor, Yun Shu stood at the top of the stairs, wearing a white knee-length nightdress, with long seaweed-like hair scattered on his shoulders, like a fairy at night, his moist face seemed to be shrouded in moonlight, and his face was smiling like a clear light: "Professor, are you back?" ”
Ji Rong snorted and asked her, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"I just fell asleep and heard the door open, where did you go?"
"Xia Lian's mother was in a car accident and was rescued at Merlin Hospital, and I just came back from there." Ji Rong said as he walked up the stairs.
"And how is she doing?" Yun Shu asked.
"It's out of danger for the time being."
Yun Shu nodded, puzzled: "How could there be a car accident?" "With the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, the incidence of car accidents is extremely low.
"The accident is still under investigation, and no one can say for sure." Ji Rong looked at Yun Shu, "Go to sleep, I have to go to Meilin Hospital tomorrow morning." ”
Yun Shu nodded.
"Morning, cloud assistant." Zhang Yue took a cup of coffee and entered the door, saw Yun Shu, greeted him with a smile on his face, glanced around, and asked in surprise, "What about Professor Ji?" ”
"The professor has some personal matters, come over in the afternoon."
Zhang Yue's face was immediately full of interest, and he came to Yun Shu's side to inquire: "What is the private matter?" Let's hear about it, I've been an assistant to Professor Ji for so long, and I haven't heard of Professor Ji having a personal affair. ”
Yun Shu was a little overwhelmed by her sudden enthusiasm, and hesitated: "It's Xia Lian's mother who had a car accident, and in Meilin Hospital, the professor went to visit." ”
