13.Chapter 13
The dim light of the streetlamp flickered, and his side face was sunk in shadows, his facial features were angular, and a thin layer of mist appeared under his dark eyes.
Hang Jiabai didn't leave, but got closer, "Do you understand...... Well? ”
The faint questions were scattered in the cold air, Ji Tong pretended to be confused on the surface, but his heart turned over the river.
"If you don't understand it, it doesn't matter." He chuckled and got up, focusing on her embarrassed appearance.
In the silent confrontation, the only thing saved was the occasional noise of television sets in the residential area.
"Let's go home." After Hang Jiabai finished speaking, he reached out and touched her hair.
Along the way, Ji Tong didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would reveal his stuff as soon as he opened his mouth, and Hang Jiabai would see that he was weak-hearted.
After returning home, his mother cooked noodles at home and asked her if she wanted to go shopping together tomorrow, Ji Tong answered a few times absentmindedly, and then went back to bed in a daze.
But no matter whether he opens his eyes or closes his eyes, Hang Jiabai's appearance always lingers in his mind. She knew that Hang Jiabai was not a person who could joke, not to mention, when he said that sentence, he had four big words "I am serious" written all over his face.
In a room alone, Ji Tong also began to think seriously about this problem.
A long time ago, he was that indifferent, making it impossible to guess his personality and preferences, and he was so mysterious that it was approachable. Later, whatever she said, he said it was good, like a piece of wood without thoughts. Ji Tong admits that she does find him boring at times. But that piece of wood, which could be light today, made her feel like she was so upset that she almost nodded.
I was a little expecting him to say that, but at the same time I was afraid that Hang Jiabai would really say it. After all, at this moment, she couldn't refuse any of his questions.
**
Early the next morning, Ji Tong accompanied his mother out shopping, Ji's mother has been in a good mood recently, she always likes to buy clothes and bags, and her vision is younger than Ji Tong.
Ji Tong had two dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't have much interest in looking at clothes, he only followed behind Ji's mother, like a wandering spirit.
Ji's mother tried a few sets of clothes, and found that her daughter's answer was always an absent-minded "good", and finally couldn't help but start thinking: "Why is the spirit so bad?" Why don't you find Xiao Hang to show you, is it sick? ”
As soon as he heard the word "Xiaohang", Ji Tong became nervous with reflection, and the whole person was scared awake: "I'm not sick!" ”
Such a sudden rebuttal really scared Ji Mu, and muttered softly: "Drunk people always say that they are not drunk......"
When the two were arguing about the boring issues of "whether they are sick or not" and "drunk or not", someone stopped the mother and daughter not far away.
The person who came was Aunt Zhao, an old neighbor from the past, who came to chat with Ji's mother for a few words, which was nothing more than trivial matters in life. Later, somehow, I brought up the eternal topic between aunts - finding a partner.
"Do you remember the daughter of Lao Sun's family? has been stupid and stupid since childhood, and actually found a handsome and rich husband! and the girl from the Lao Lu family, the children of the post-nineties generation have begun to learn to speak. Aunt Zhao's words, Ji's mother didn't answer, she understood the plot, and as soon as she took it, she should be asked about Ji Tong.
But even if the mother and daughter didn't respond, Aunt Zhao still opened her mouth to inquire: "How is our Xiaotong?" I remember that you used to have a boyfriend who studied medicine, and we talked about it for many years, are you married? ”
Ji's mother was embarrassed about how to answer, and the heartless daughter on the side spoke like a broken can: "I'm not married, I don't have a partner." ”
Ji Tong was so annoyed that he was so annoyed by Hang Jiabai that he couldn't sleep all night, and he was repeatedly mentioned during the day. I thought I would simply make it clear and send people away, but who knew that Aunt Zhao was suddenly interested: "It doesn't matter, Xiaotong's conditions are good, and you will be able to find a better one!" Auntie knows a few nice guys, how about introducing you? ”
Ji's mother saw that the momentum of development was not right, and hurriedly excused herself, saying that the child was still young and not in a hurry.
Aunt Zhao pierced: "It's not small, it's almost thirty in two years, right?" ”
When Ji Tong heard this, his face turned green, and he made a look with Ji's mother, and the two of them lied about something urgent and left first.
She used to think that people like Hang Jiabai, who only said "drink more hot water", had the lowest emotional intelligence, but today she has seen what it means to have a sky outside the sky.
Ji's mother looked even angrier than her, and said with hatred: "Look at it, if you don't break up with Xiaohang, how nice it is to say that my son-in-law is a doctor." ”
"What's so good about the doctor?" Ji Tong muttered, "Obviously, it sounds very unlucky......"
Ji's mother was so angry that she poked her finger at the door of this girl's head, "You are called a doctor who is a doctor of illness, didn't the teacher teach you?" ”
"I haven't taught." She put her hands in her pockets and pursed her lips, as if she had given up on herself.
"I told you, when you meet an old neighbor in the future, you must turn around and run." Ji's mother was quite serious, but her serious appearance amused Ji Tong, she pretended to lean over mysteriously, lowered her voice and asked, "What, is it possible that our family owes a lot of debt outside?" ”
"If you really owe a debt, it is also your debt." Ji's mother glanced at her reproachfully, and persuaded her with good words, "In the past, Xiaohang often came to our house, and the neighbors saw it. As you know, you've been talking to someone for many years. ”
Ji Tong was still in the clouds: "So what? ”
"So, in their eyes, you're no different from those who have been divorced. Even if it's an introduction, it won't introduce you to any good people. Ji Mu really knows the routine here, "Do you understand?" ”
"I don't understand, I'm never married."
"But you've been with Xiao Hang for five years!"
"What's wrong with five years?"
"How many do you think there are five years in a lifetime?"
...... "She really can't continue to debate with middle-aged women.
"Long snack, I'm almost thirty years old, and I'm stupid all day long, so you want me to worry about you!" Ji Mu sighed helplessly, "Anyway, you remember, except for me and Xiao Hang in this world, no one will treat you sincerely." ”
Ji Tong really disagrees with the thoughts of middle-aged women, but the theory of "talking about breaking up for a long time is equal to divorce" has been passed through in Ji Tong's mind.
After five years together, their living habits influenced each other and they met all their friends. Except that there is no such certificate, it seems that it is not much different from getting married. Thinking like this, her mood became even more chaotic.
**
This week, Ji Tong began to get busy again, and when he arrived on Wednesday, he received a call from **, saying that he wanted to invite her to dinner, a very urgent and critical meal. At first, I refused to say the reason, and after asking for a long time, I said hesitantly, looking at my ex-girlfriend's Weibo, it seems that I have a new love.
"So you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend and off your ex-girlfriend?" Ji Tong couldn't believe his ears, "Please, big brother, this kind of plot is too old-fashioned, it's easy to get into trouble!" ”
"Of course not!" ** explained, "I just want to go and see the situation, and I think it will be embarrassing to go alone, in case I am recognized, and I want to ask you to accompany me to strengthen my courage." ”
She smiled dumbly: "You look so brave, do you need me to be brave?" ”
“…… You hurt so much!! He'd never heard anyone describe his appearance as "brave."
Ji Tong said this, but in fact, he packed up his things and accompanied him to get off work. Who knew that ** took her to Xieshi Road, so scared that Ji Tong almost wanted to jump out of the car.
"After she gets off work, she often goes to a small restaurant in the front alley with her colleagues to eat dumplings." ** Closed the car door and looked at Ji Tong inexplicably, "What's wrong with you?" Looks more nervous than I am, as if you were the one who came to 'meet' your ex. ”
"Get out!" Ji Tong was really empty, and followed into a lively shop in a trance, and sat down in the innermost hidden seat. It was the golden time for meals, and there were a lot of people in the store, all of whom were small white-collar workers who had just gotten off work.
The boss enthusiastically stepped forward to introduce the dumplings here, **Look at the watch, and Ji Tong said that it is almost the same, order it first. She really didn't have much appetite, so she just ordered a cup of lemon tea and pretended.
"Just drinks?" The owner was incredulous, "Our dumplings here are very famous, and they were recommended on TV shows." ”
She was in no mood to eat now, so she had to put it off for the time being: "This ...... I'll order it again when I'm hungry. ”
Ji Tong has always been very curious about the behavior of **: "Do you really think that two people who have broken up can be together again?" ”
"Of course." ** Full of reason, "I'm not young anymore, I really don't want to spend time starting a relationship again." I have been with her for more than two years, and the relationship and tacit understanding are still there, and I think this basic mode of getting along is the most mature. ”
Ji Tong disagreed: "What if the previous problems are still there?" ”
"It's good to ignore it, we are all adults, tolerate each other, what's the problem that can't be solved?" The idea is simple and straightforward, but it seems to hit the nail on the head.
Ji Tong was skeptical: "Since you think so thoroughly, how can you break up?" ”
The other party sighed: "Eh, she's too busy, and she regards the patient as more important than me." ”
"Patient?!" Ji Tong's heart was already up and down, pinching the straw and stirring the ice cubes in the lemon tea repeatedly, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, can you sue me, what does your ex-girlfriend do?" ”
**I just picked up a dumpling, put it down again, and pointed in a direction, "Does Zhongcheng Hospital know over there?" ”
“…… Big brother, don't talk about it. Ji Tong grabbed her bag in horror and wanted to run, but at the same time, ** lowered her voice and reminded her: "It's coming, sit down!" ”
And then the bloody scene happened-
Six or seven people came in at the door one after another, talking and laughing, and sat at the table behind them.
And the last one to enter the door was Hang Jiabai.
**
When the group entered the house, ** immediately turned his face sideways and lowered his head, at the same time, he found that Ji Tong on the side was also like this, even more exaggerated than him, so he asked her in a low voice: "What are you doing?" You're almost under the table, and she doesn't know you. ”
Ji Tong frowned and "shhh
The two thieves glanced at the table behind them from time to time, and leaned over and asked, "Alas, Ji Tong, which one of those tables is most like her new love?" She's been talking to the old man, could it be that? ”
"How do I know......" Ji Tong bit the straw hatefully, blaming him for not giving her a chance to escape. It's okay now, it's stuck here, and you have to go through them to get out.
"The vision is not very good, don't you say?" He elbowed her again.
Ji Tong sighed: "It's annoying, you think about it yourself." ”
From her point of view, she could just see Hang Jiabai's side face, and next to him sat the physician who sent Ji Tong kiwi last time, and the two were talking and laughing, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Ji Tong seemed to understand something, but he was not sure, so he had to lie on the table and secretly observe the movement over there.
They ordered more than a dozen plates of dumplings at a table, with all kinds of fillings. Ji Tong secretly slandered these people for their big appetites, and his stomach couldn't help but growl again. After the boss finished ordering the order on the table, he turned around and noticed Ji Tong's resentful look, and took the initiative to ask, "Miss, do you want it?" ”
Ji Tong and ** were so frightened that they gasped at the same time, fortunately, the boss's voice was not loud, and the table behind him didn't pay attention to the situation here.
Seeing Ji Tong's ghost-like expression, the boss wondered: "Miss, your face doesn't look very good, and you're still lying on the table, do you have a stomachache?" ”
After speaking, he also enthusiastically pointed in the direction he pointed just now, "Zhongcheng Hospital is over there, but it's close." If you really can't stand it, go to the emergency room. ”
"Boss, I'm really fine......" When she said this, she suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, when they heard Zhongcheng's name, the doctors at the table all reflexively looked here.
Ji Tong suddenly found that she was being watched by everyone, and what made her panic the most was Hang Jiabai's gaze, which turned from stunned to complex stagnation in just a moment.
