Chapter28
It was almost eleven o'clock when Ji Tong arrived home, and she originally wanted to go to Hang Jiabai to live, but she just listened to him, he was on his mother's side. She also thought that Hang Jiabai would stand by her unconditionally, but as a result, she herself became the only opponent of this matter.
It's not an unhappy breakup, but the atmosphere is not very harmonious when they part. The two of them had a meal with their own hearts, and after it was over, Hang Jiabai wanted to send Ji Tong home, but she refused. She went for a walk on the Bund alone, thinking about the clips of being with her father in the past.
Ji's father is an ordinary clerk, and he has always been an honest person. In Ji Tong's memory, he said very little, but he was very thoughtful to his family. She remembers a time when there was a thunderstorm after school, and her father came to pick her up on his motorcycle, and he gave his only raincoat to his daughter and drove through the wind and rain himself. Ji Tong secretly looked over from the back seat of the motorcycle, the rain slapped in his eyes, and he squinted his eyes and struggled to look at the smoky street ahead. She hugged her father's waist tightly, and the cold rain leaked in and slapped on her ankles. Such an unforgettable scene is rare in her life, and every time she thinks about it, she can experience the complexity of cold and warmth.
And the day my father left was also a rainy day, and he still drove a motorcycle, and he didn't wear a raincoat.
It's just that he ran a red light this time, and he happened to be hit by a passing car, and he was dying when he was sent to the hospital.
Ji Tong remembered the hospital bed full of blood, and the face that was half-covered and half-hidden. She knew that she would never forget this moment in her life, and she thought that her mother, like her, would always have a place for her father.
Who knew that a few years later, I heard about my mother's idea of remarrying.
A woman who is nearly fifty years old has no shyness and concealment about her feelings, and frankly admits that she needs someone to accompany her for the rest of her life.
"What about me? Am I not enough to accompany you? Ji Tong naturally understood the difference between the two feelings, but she couldn't let go of the stubbornness in her heart, and she even listed the evidence of her efforts over the years, trying to move her mother.
"Since graduation, I have been working hard, I am desperate to make money, and I am alone in the family. What am I for? Don't you just want to make more money for your retirement? Dad is gone, and we mother and daughter can't rely on anyone, we can only rely on each other. β
Ji Mu shook her head helplessly, and gave up explaining without saying a few words: "Xiaotong, let's talk about this matter, okay?" Mom knows that you can't accept it for a while, so I'll wait for you to delay for a few days. β
Ji Tong didn't plan to say any more, she understood what her mother and Hang Jiabai meant, but how could such a thing be acceptable in three days and two ends?
She couldn't help but think of Uncle Wang's expression that day, and there was something hidden in his and Ji's mother's behavior, but she was like a sloth who was slow and half-beaten, and it didn't dawn on her until afterwards.

As soon as they arrived in Desti the next day, Xiaoxuan and Cheng Xi surrounded them and showed Ji Tong the interview report of Hang Jiabai on the Internet.
In the photo, he is wearing a white coat, standing there tall, looking at the camera leisurely and calmly.
The title in the title is also a bit exaggerated, and Ji Tong's goosebumps fell off - "the most handsome doctor in history".
"You're finished, Xiaotong, now your rival can line up from Jing'an Temple to the Bund." Xiao Xuan pointed to the large bunch of below and commented, "These people all said that they would organize a group to visit your home, Dr. Hang!" β
"Are you all sick, going to the hospital for sightseeing?" Cheng Xi didn't quite understand the crazy thoughts of women.
Ji Tong returned to his seat and flipped through Weibo boredly, wanting to send a message to Hang Jiabai to ask him if he was okay, but then he remembered yesterday's small disagreement, so he had to give up. After all, this thing was like a thorn in her heart, and it didn't hurt or itch.
In the afternoon, an old couple who remarried came, and Ji Tong contacted each other half-heartedly, always deserting from time to time.
The old couple is about 50 years old, and they didn't want to do any ceremonies, but their children are very filial. After watching some wedding cases, I signed a high-priced package on the spot.
It was originally a very happy thing for big business to come to the door, but Ji Tong smiled a little reluctantly.
In her eyes, the filial piety of other people's mothers and sons seemed to her great irony, she knew that she was a little irrational, and at the same time longed for the approval of others. This is an almost unreasonable obsession, igniting the loneliness that has been buried in the deepest part of her heart all these years, and it explodes in an instant.
I was absent-minded all day, and when I got off work, Ji Tong heard the screams of several little girls downstairs.
Then Amanda hurriedly ran upstairs and shouted at Ji Tong: "Sister Xiaotong, the most handsome doctor in history is here to pick you up!" β
"......" Ji Tong quietly looked at the colleagues around him who couldn't help laughing, packed up his things and rushed downstairs.
She was still a little sad, but the appearance of Hang Jiabai warmed her. He stood straight in the doorway, holding the tart she liked.
After seeing Ji Tong, he bowed a little and smiled sincerely: "I'm here to apologize." β
"Just take the egg tart to make amends?" Ji Tong said so, but he still took one and ate it.
Hang Jiabai politely hinted, "I can also compensate you." β
She laughed wilfully, "Who wants you to be this person." β
He knew that she was good at duplicity, so he touched her head dotingly.
"Blatantly blocking the door of the company and abusing the dog during off-duty hours, you are really good!" The jokes of his colleagues sounded behind him, and after greeting Ji Tong, they dispersed.
**
was held by Hang Jiabai and shook restlessly, Ji Tong teased him by the way: "How is it, how does it feel to be an Internet celebrity doctor?" β
"Internet celebrity?" Hang Jiabai was quite critical of this strange description, "It seems that you have a lot of misunderstanding of me." β
Ji Tong simply asked him bluntly: "Have you been blocked today?" β
"Nope." He paused, then added, "But there are more patients than usual, and I almost can't leave work on time." β
"Oh......" she lowered her eyes, staring blankly at her feet.
"What's wrong, still not happy?"
She breathed a deep sigh of relief and replied noncommittally: "There have been so many things lately, I feel a little tired." β
"Tired?" Hang Jiabai chuckled and hugged her thin shoulders, "Then after this busy time, I'll take a long vacation to take you out to play, okay?" β
Ji Tong was originally quite fun-loving, but at this time, somehow, he lost the slightest interest in this kind of thing.
"Boiled water, I want to stay with you today." She hung her head, her voice muffled.
"Got it?"
"Understand what?"
"Or do you want me to pay you for people." Hang Jiabai chuckled, took advantage of the lack of people on the street to circle her head, and quickly leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, "Just kidding." β
ββ¦β¦β
It can be seen that he wants to make her laugh, but Mr. Bai Kaishui is not deep, and the jokes he says are only his own support.
Throughout the night, the two of them originally intended to avoid the topic of Ji's mother, but later they nestled on the sofa and drank some red wine, and Ji Tong couldn't help but talk about it first.
Her subject is still inseparable from her long-dead father, and it is still unacceptable to go around and around.
"I used to live too willfully, I was spoiled by my parents and you, and I didn't have much responsibility. After my father died, you also left, and my whole body was like suddenly waking up from a dream, and I began to plan for the future. I thought that I would get married one day, and I might not be able to stay with my mother for long, so I tried my best to make money and wanted her to live a good life. But she's good, she doesn't care at all. After Dad left, she went out to play all day long, lived happily than anyone else, and now she brought back some kind of Lao Wang's next door, to be my stepfather, what is this......"
"Okay, okay, what is the old king next door, what do you think." Hang Jiabai poked her head amusedly, and took the babbling girl into his arms, "Tongtong, my mother has also remarried, you know?" β
Without thinking, she thought, "That's different. β
"How is it different?"
"You've always been more open than I thought."
He didn't know whether the description "can think openly" was positive or derogatory, and after thinking about it, he thought that maybe she just said it casually, so he didn't bother anymore. Thoughts drifted back to distant memories inexplicably, when my mother appeared with a blonde foreigner, my grandmother slammed the door in anger. Pulling the young Xiao Hang, Yan sΓΉ said the joke that every adult likes to make: "Look, your mother doesn't want you anymore." β
At that time, he was ignorant, and was so frightened by the fierce quarrel between adults that he didn't dare to speak, so he hid behind the big wolf dog and quietly watched the "battle situation". After that falling out, my mother left completely. In the years that followed, he became her grandmother's only hope.
So she said that he "can think openly", probably because he didn't really appreciate the twists and turns and sourness.
However, Hang Jiabai would rather she not experience this, she just stayed by his side happily. He wanted to block other bad things for her.
Such a quiet night is very rare in the time the two get along, Ji Tong talked about work again, and talked about the remarried old couple who came to the company today.
"I don't understand why so many people in the world say that they love only one, and he has to do it. But after a long time, I forgot what I said at the beginning. She lifted her glass and made a gesture to clink glasses with him, but as soon as Hangjiabai took it, she threw her head up and drank it herself.
After drinking, she lay in Hang Jiabai's arms and asked him aggrievedly: "Boiled water, you really don't like others?" β
"No, not one but you." Hangjiabai replied categorically, sensing her unease, and asked, "What about you?" β
"I've tried." Ji Tong said frankly, "During that time, I always went back and forth, and I felt lonely for a while. My friend introduced me to someone, and after a meal, I didn't contact him again. Actually, the other party is very good, but I just don't feel it. The food he ordered didn't appeal to my appetite, and the first chopsticks weren't reserved for me. β
As she spoke, she became more and more like she was talking to herself, clinging to him like a koala, and muttering with a smile, "Maybe I'm still the most like you......"
Hang Jiabai suddenly chuckled, laughing contentedly, and even a little vanity.
At the same time, a ridiculous thought came to my head: fortunately, I spoiled her so critically.
