14.Chapter 14

Even the innocent ** who was dragged into the water was recognized by his ex-girlfriend at a glance, and he didn't know what the other party was doing, so he suddenly stood up and accused: "**, you follow me?!" โ€

"Who, who's stalking you!" ** stammered and replied, "Can't I come here for dinner?" โ€

"Is there such a coincidence?" The ex-girlfriend's reaction was great, "I didn't say it all, I don't have a new love!" Where do I have the time to fall in love? And even if there is, what's your business? โ€

"You're too narcissistic! Who cares if you have a new love, I ...... I'm here with my girlfriend! ** pointed to Ji Tong opposite, "Oh, this is my girlfriend, don't talk nonsense in front of her!" โ€

Ji Tong was drinking cold lemon tea with his head down, and he was so frightened that he squirted out a mouthful.

Didn't you say that you should only be brave?!!

The whole development began to look like an eight-o'clock series, and everyone's eyes fell on Ji Tong at the same time. Among them, what made her feel hot the most was the eyes that were as light as clear water.

Doctor Qin, who sent Ji Tong Kiwifruit, recognized her at a glance, and elbowed Hang Jiabai unknowingly, "Hey, what's the matter, isn't that your girlfriend......"

Hang Jiabai's face was extremely bad.

Because of such a soft reminder, the audience instantly fell silent.

Ji Tong's first reaction was to run, and as soon as he arrived at the door this time, his wrist was gently grabbed.

Hang Jiabai calmly explained to the others: "I'm sorry, we still have something to do, let's go first." โ€

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they didn't know which one it was.

The two walked side by side on the familiar street, neither of them speaking.

In the past, Ji Tong often came here to play, and she had already eaten all the food in the streets around here. However, she still likes the porridge that Hang Jiabai cooked for her when she was sick, which was very light, but she inexplicably felt delicious.

None of Hang Jiabai's college classmates at that time didn't know Ji Tong. They also joked about him with plain water, and he had a good temper and always responded with a faint smile. Now his eyes have become very unfamiliar, and when he looks at her, he will have waves from time to time, and occasionally he will be in a daze.

Thinking about it, it was probably because of the boss's crow's mouth, Ji Tongzhen felt a stomachache. Finally, he sat on the side of the empty road, holding his stomach and curled up into a ball, looking at the F University Medical School in front of him, which was close to Zhongcheng Hospital. I just feel that the winter nights are really long, and when she is hungry and cold, she always wants to drink a glass of boiled water.

Hang Jiabai sat on the steps of the side of the road as casually as she did, reaching out and touching her head.

As soon as she looked up, she saw that the attractive face was close at hand, but unfortunately she couldn't speak, and the opening remarks of Wannian were always the same: "Ji Tong, what's wrong with you?" โ€

But such a simple and familiar greeting hit Ji Tong's weakness.

Hang Jiabai lowered his head and leaned closer, looking like he was comforting the child, "Doesn't your stomach hurt?" โ€

Facing the witty Doctor Hang, Ji Tong could only nod helplessly.

So his hand naturally covered her stomach, and she subconsciously wanted to hide. In an instant, his shoulder was grabbed by his other hand.

In this way, Ji Tong seemed to be trapped in Hang Jiabai's arms, obviously he was already in his heart, but he still had to answer his serious questions.

Whether it hurts here or not, whether it hurts there or not, it's completely a routine to treat people.

In the end, he concluded: "It's no big deal, don't drink so many iced drinks on an empty stomach in the future, it hurts your stomach." โ€

Ji Tong suddenly remembered that his mother said that he was afraid of medical treatment.

In fact, she has no opinion on doctors, on the contrary, there is an indescribable heavy dependence.

In the past, whenever she encountered anything, there was always a dumb doctor by her side, spoiling her hypocritically and weakly. And after he left, this sense of dependence had to be forced by reality to gradually turn to escape.

She didn't say a word, and was seen by Hang Jiabai to be careful. He let go of the hand holding her shoulder and sighed lightly: "Why did you come here to eat and not talk to me?" โ€

Ji Tong expected that he was asking knowingly, but when he raised his eyes, he saw his gentle and calm eyes, and everything he said was serious.

So she asked weakly: "Doctor Hang, do you think this situation today is suitable for calling you?" โ€

"I think it's a good fit." Hang Jiabai looked at her and said in an understated tone, "Don't you want to see me?" โ€

Ji Tong didn't know how to answer, so he simply changed the topic: "Your colleague seems to have misunderstood, does it matter?" โ€

"It doesn't matter." Hang Jiabai smiled, "You don't have to explain too much to others. โ€

He could still laugh.

**

After sitting with Ji Tong for a while, Hang Jiabai stood up, "Does it still hurt?" If it doesn't hurt, let's go have a meal together. โ€

She subconsciously asked, "Dumplings?" โ€

He smiled clearly: "Of course not, we eat by ourselves, the scene is too chaotic there." โ€

Ji Tong nodded: "This is ......"

She suddenly found a problem, she was not sure, and hesitated to speak: "Hang Jiabai, have you never made our relationship clear to others?" โ€

"......" he stood stunned, and there was a rare trace of loneliness in his eyes, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know how to say it." โ€

Hangjia is born with a temperament that does not like to explain much, and he never participates in the discussion of gossip, let alone exposing his love history to others. Thinking of this, Ji Tong suddenly smiled heartlessly: "What's so bad about this, it's not a child anymore, it's normal to have an ex." โ€

It happened to be the end of class, and some students who were eating supper came out of the door one after another. The awkward and ambiguous atmosphere between the two was frozen in the crowd around them, and after a moment, they were dispersed by the noise.

Hanga took her hand and led her under the street lamp.

His hands were as thick and warm as ever, and his slender fingers gently clasped hers until there was only silence around him, and she was about to lose the sound of her heartbeat.

"Frankly speaking, I did have selfish intentions, so I didn't want to explain." Hang Jiabai finally had a chance to explain to her, "Because ...... Sometimes I feel that it is happy to be misunderstood. โ€

Her heartbeat rate was suddenly disturbed by the extracardiac doctor, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and said in one go: "Tongtong, I really can't treat you as an ex-girlfriend." โ€

This is the first time in a long time that he has called her "Kiriki" like before.

Ji Tong was completely dumbfounded, only feeling like a world away. The palms of her hands were wet, and I don't know if it was her sweat or Hangjiabai.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she lowered her eyes to look at him. In fact, Hang Jiabai's meaning has been clearly expressed, but she always can't believe it. When he was with him, Ji Tong couldn't help but want to get closer, but every time he thought of the heart-wrenching feeling after losing, he felt that it was better not to have it than to have it and lose it.

"You know I'm not good at expressing myself." After a moment of silence, Hang Jiabai spoke again, "I thought there was ...... between us Even if I don't say it, you can understand. But the truth is, you don't seem to have me in mind. So, I want to re-register. โ€

"...... sign up?"

"Hmm." Hang Jiabai's voice was very soft and low, but his words were very firm: "If there is no past, when we know again." You...... Can you give me a chance? โ€

Ji Tong's mind was very confused, and he unconsciously remembered that strange theory. has been in love for a long time and then separated, in the eyes of others, it is no different from divorce. I don't know who said it first, but it clearly can't stand scrutiny, but it just makes her convinced. After so many years of affection, how can he turn a blind eye as he said?

All along, all she did was hide if she could, and if she couldn't hide, she went with the flow, and never took the initiative to analyze her expectations for this relationship.

Maybe...... She could have been braver.

"Hangjiabai." Ji Tong lowered his head and whispered, "I can't guarantee what will happen in the end, if you don't bother me, we'll ...... Try again? โ€

He finally let go of the corners of his mouth that had been tightening, and chuckled lightly with his eyebrows and eyes, and an indifferent word "good" seemed to have been waiting for many years.

**

The two chatted strangely, and when they arrived at the small restaurant they used to go to together, the boss did not change people, and they said they were familiar when they met, and I don't know if they really remember.

There were also a few Hang Jiabai's younger students in the store, ordering a table of dishes and a dozen beers, and chatting about the dissection with foaming at the mouth. Ji Tong was interested in this before, and pestered Hang Jiabai to talk about it. He is also a more serious person, either he doesn't talk about it, or he describes the details very carefully, and he can make her so hard that she can't eat.

Ji Tong supported his head with his hands, looked sideways at the young college student at the table, and began to think seriously about a question: If they hadn't been separated back then, what would have happened?

She is no longer a โ–กโ–ก-year-old girl who puts love first, and she can spend so much thought on love. If she has really been in love for ten years, maybe she has already lost her heartbeat for Hang Jiabai.

So, how can this kind of thing be said?

Ji Tong was in a daze when he heard someone at the opposite table whispering "Teacher Hang". Then, a few people came up to say hello.

Hang Jiabai still smiled calmly, reminding them to drink less.

Those students seemed to be interning in Zhongcheng, and they respected Hang Jiabai very much, and nodded again and again to say yes. After saying hello, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he consciously sat back, but the gossip eyes were still wandering between the two.

Ji Tong leaned over to the table, lowered his voice, and asked Hang Jiabai timidly: "Why do I think that the whole street here knows you?" โ€

"It's nothing, it's just a coincidence." He asked her, "Do you feel bothered?" โ€

"Huh? What do I have to worry about? โ€

Hang Jiabai raised the corners of his lips helplessly, "I thought you didn't like to be seen with me very much. โ€

Why does that sound so pitiful......

Ji Tong secretly looked at him with a weak heart, he was concentrating on helping her pick the coriander in the hot and sour soup, everything was as usual. After picking the coriander, he scooped a bowl and handed it to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell the boss just now that I didn't add coriander." โ€

She suddenly felt guilty, stirred the spoon, and asked casually: "Hang Jiabai, can you sue me, how have you spent all these years?" โ€

Hang Jiabai raised his eyes in surprise and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you are willing to listen." โ€

Ji Tong thought for a while, "When did you go to Zhongcheng?" โ€

"Two years ago, when I just came back from England."

"Wait a minute, Britain?" She interrupted suddenly, "I remember when you went to the United States, and your mother was there. โ€

Hang Jiabai's family is a little complicated, Ji Tong has never heard about his father, only knows that he has a mother who immigrated to the United States after remarrying. Although Hang's mother is abroad, she is planning for Hang Jiabai all the time, arranging for him to study abroad, and introducing him to his friend's daughter Miss Gu. During that time, he was very emotional, and the only clear and firm thought in his head was that he would be by her side no matter what......

"I did go to the United States to see my mother during the Chinese New Year." Hang Jiabai put a piece of fish meat in her bowl, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Actually, I originally told her that I would take you to meet her." โ€

"......" Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, "What happened later?" โ€

"Then something happened to your father......" he nodded and didn't go any further.

Thinking of the events of that year, both of them unconsciously fell into silence.

"Tell me about you." Hang Jiabai broke the silence between the two, "Whatever you want." โ€

"I don't seem to have anything worth mentioning." She smiled helplessly, "It's bland, there are no big ups and downs." Sometimes I'm so busy that I don't sleep for days, and sometimes I'm idle all day. โ€

"It's good to be bland." Hang Jiabai concluded, "Vigorous and vigorous are not necessarily good things. โ€

His temperament is still so calm, and the comfort he says is conservative but not rigid.

She was so used to this kind of warmth that the two sat facing each other and had a quiet meal. During the banquet, she occasionally propped up her head and listened intently to Hang Jiabai's words. She often spat at him as boring, but from time to time she was struck by the breadth of knowledge revealed in his words.

Many relationships can withstand the test of earth-shaking things, but they can't survive staying together in ordinary years. Ji Tong still didn't dare to imagine the future of the two, but felt that with him by his side, all the Yiqiฤ“ became gentle and stable.

Later, the students at the next table dispersed and came to say goodbye to Hang Jiabai. He stood up and told them to go back to the dormitory early and not wander the streets.

The wine was so strong that the children drank their heads and joked with him: "Teacher Hang, you have such a beautiful girlfriend, why don't you know about it?" โ€

Hang Jiabai looked at Ji Tong with a smile, she was holding her head with interest, her fingers tapping her cheeks one by one, as if waiting to watch his embarrassment like everyone else.

He hooked the corners of his mouth, and rarely responded to other people's gossip: "It's been ten years, and you naturally don't know." โ€
