Chapter25

The link of the haunted house was roughly simplified, and the group was a little drunk, and most of them didn't like to play much, so they all went back separately. Ji Tong and Hang Jiabai planned to go to Zhou Qing's new home together, this time Ji Tong was driving, and Hang Jiabai was sitting in the co-pilot with a smell of alcohol.

Just as he was about to leave the underground garage, he suddenly raised his slightly drunken smiling eyes, and his magnetic voice was a little mysterious: "Tongtong, let's run away quietly, right?" ”

If he was sober, Dr. Hang would never be so naïve. Ji Tong smiled and touched his hot cheek, "Okay, Doctor Hang, then where do you want to go?" ”

"We fled home." Hang Jiabai took her hand, put it to his lips and pecked it lightly.

Her face was dazed: "Your home? ”

The misty and lazy gaze stayed between her eyebrows, and he hooked the corners of his lips, "It's okay at your house, there is no one in your house." ”

"......" didn't know if he was really drunk or fake, but he still remembered that Ji's mother had traveled in the past two days.

Just like that, Ji Tong went home with him.

Hang Jiabai lives in an apartment alone, with two bedrooms and one living room, the location is not far from Zhongcheng, and the land price is also an inch of land. Helping Hang Jiabai all the way to the elevator, he leaned quietly against the door, as if he was extremely tired.

And Ji Tong was thinking about Zhou Qing's words all the way, and he didn't notice that the person around him had opened the door and took her hand into the house.

She felt that Hang Jiabai was the kind of person who didn't say much, but could make people feel sorry for him inexplicably. Shaking his big hand, Ji Tong asked casually, "How much did you drink?" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice, "Not much. ”

The next second, she fell into his warm arms, and frowned at the smell of alcohol. The lights in the living room had not yet been turned on, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black. She was easily removed, but the hand on her back did not move, but slowly went up along her slender neck, gently pinching her chin.

The gentle and dense kiss made Ji Tong temporarily ignore the smell of alcohol all over his body, after all, at this moment, she even had a problem breathing. The kiss in the dark was slightly aggressive, and somewhere in the body was instantly ignited, and the two began a long tug-of-war.

She boldly climbed up to Hangjiabai's neck, occasionally turning against him, biting his lower lip. In this way, it provoked his tense nerves even more.

In the end, Ji Tong was kissed so much that he almost lacked oxygen, and he was defeated first, hugging Hang Jiabai softly, and his heartbeat accelerated to the limit. Hang Jiabai picked her up horizontally, leaned against the wall and walked inside. Next to the door of the room, Ji Tong touched a switch, and after a "snap", the whole room was covered with warm orange lights. Hang Jiabai still didn't let go, his eyes stared intently into her eyes, I don't know if it was because of drunkenness or just a long kiss, his cheeks were red, and the collar of his white shirt was slightly open.

Only then did Ji Tong realize that she had untied it just now. At this moment, she was so excited that she guessed what would happen next, so she carefully held her breath and did not dare to disturb him.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three-second ......

Hang Jiabai suddenly put Ji Tong on the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to turn on the LED light in the center of the room, and the room was instantly bright. He crouched down in front of her, his fingers carefully covering her upper and lower eyelids, slightly open.

"Why are your eyes red......" Hang Jiabai frowned, carefully observing her bloodshot eyeballs.

Ji Tong couldn't help but blink a few times in a row, "I've been wearing makeup for a day, and it's a little uncomfortable." ”

"Let's take off my makeup first."

She was stunned for a moment, nodded again, took out the small bottle of makeup remover she carried with her from her bag, and ran to the bathroom in a daze.

Before his heartbeat calmed down, Ji Tong was a little in a hurry, and he didn't know where to start.

"Are there any cotton swabs?" She turned to the side and said to Hang Jiabai in the room.

"Yes, you wait a minute." When he reappeared, his suit had been stripped off, and he was wearing only the slightly wrinkled white shirt, the sleeves of which he had casually rolled up.

Hang Jiabai took the cotton swab and saw the makeup remover in her hand, "Dip this, huh?" ”

After saying that, he also picked up the small bottle of makeup remover and studied it.

"These chemicals are not very good for the eye and can damage the cornea." He dipped a cotton swab in makeup remover, prepared a tissue with his other hand, and made a gesture for Ji Tong to find a place to sit. That picture is like the medical drama she usually watches, the surgeon changes his clothes, wears a mask and gloves, and stands in front of the operating table to watch the patient, which makes Ji Tong a little nervous.

For the first time in her life, she was helped by someone else to remove her makeup, and she was still a little restrained, sitting obediently by the bathtub and not daring to move, which was quite a bit of slaughter. What he didn't expect was that even though Hang Jiabai still had a trace of drunkenness, his movements were clean and neat. The inner eyeliner is more difficult to clean, so he leaned down and patiently wiped it with a cotton swab little by little, without touching the eyeballs at all.

Because of this posture, Ji Tong saw the collarbone slightly emerging from Hangjia's white collar up close, which was particularly sexy in the soft light, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Those big hands were gentle, and they always seemed to give her courage. They had wiped her tears from her saddest moments, and they had protected her when she was criticized. And at this moment, he was firmly on her cheek, doing some meticulous operations that did not quite fit his image.

It's been ten years, from the campus to the society, the world is full of clouds and dogs, but his original intention has not changed.

Unconsciously, Ji Tong had been smirking for a long time, until his nose was gently scraped by him, and a mellow voice sounded in his ears: "What are you laughing at?" Little girl, I've washed you up. ”

Ji Tong raised his head and cheered at him, "I feel very happy today." ”

"Happy to go to a wedding? Or will I give you a make-up remover? Hang Jiabai cleaned up his things, half leaning on the sink, staring at her from above.

Ji Tong did not shy away from the in his eyes, took his hand and said, "As long as you are here, you will be happy." ”

Of course, Hang Jiabai was shocked by her sudden confession, his expression was a little stunned, and he touched her head with a smile, and said something boring that had a fight with "drink more hot water": "It's good if you're happy." ”

She was angry and funny: "Bai Boiled Water, if you learn how to speak, you will probably have five hundred girlfriends." ”

"What do I want so many girlfriends for...... It's enough to have you. He stopped arguing with her, pinched her cheek and smiled, "Okay, you can take a shower first." ”

"What do you wear after washing?"

"Get me my pajamas for you, if you think it's too big, you can leave it out."

“……”

**

As a result, she really didn't wear anything, and appeared wrapped in a bath towel. Hang Jiabai was stunned when he saw it, and his cheeks were slightly red. What was once intimacy is now gradually fermenting in a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere.

"Tongtong, you're making me a little embarrassed like this." He looked at her and chuckled.

"Huh?"

"I was going to take a shower first." Hang Jiabai leaned over, put his arms around her waist, and brought a little force into his arms.

Ji Tong understood what he meant, smiled evilly and climbed onto the shirt on Hang Jiabai's chest, unbuttoned it one by one, and deliberately lowered his voice to lure him: "That...... What now? ”

An honest person can't stand flirting the most, let alone a surgeon who has been single for so many years. Now his white shirt was completely open, and he bent down to kiss her lips deeply, and began an unequivocal attack with the residual drunkenness.

Ji Tong was picked up by him and placed on the soft big bed, he pressed it down, and said softly: "Now...... Actually, I still prefer to take a shower first. ”

She was amused, got up and drove him out of the room, nestled in his cold bed, and her body instantly curled up. Hang Jiabai has never used electric blankets and hot water bottles, and he often gets off work late, and every time he gets home, this cold bedding is waiting for him?

Ji Tong wanted to try to warm his world, but found that his body temperature really didn't play a role, but even he was about to be swallowed up by the coolness of the bed. She buried her head under the quilt and tried to warm herself with the exhaled carbon dioxide, but she was groggy as a result.

When the quilt was lifted again, she opened her sleepy eyes, and before she could react, the whole person was swept away, close to his warm body. Occasionally I want to warm him, but every time I have to rely on him to keep warm. Ji Tong smiled contentedly and took the initiative to kiss the corner of his lips. She knew that even if her head didn't think about it, her body would still react in response to his wandering hand.

I can't remember how long it had been since the last time I had been lying beside him like this. Such a scene was a fantasy to her, and she could not find out if her deepest desires were as much as he saw them. Until the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, and only her reflection was left in his bright eyes.

Painful, but also fulfilling. She opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't make a sound. Hang Jiabai's clear eyes appeared in the blurred vision, and he kissed them again, and kept greedily asking for her response, as if to make up for the kisses that had been missing for five years. She gasped for air, hugging his familiar body, her fingers gently running along the sturdy lines behind him.

**

That night, she spoke a lot in his arms, as if the person who had drunk too much was not Hangjiabai, but herself.

The first thing I talked about was the day I graduated from college, and the situation in the dormitory changed from Ji Tong being the only one with a boyfriend to being the only one single. After the graduation ceremony, a boy from another major came to confess to her.

"The boy was not tall, had a shy smile, and had short hair...... I don't remember anything else. Ji Tong tried to recall the details of that time, but found that many things had faded with the passage of time, and she even forgot the names of the male classmates who were coaxing her at that time.

Hang Jiabai listened patiently and concluded in a deep voice: "Insignificant people, you really don't need to remember too much. ”

Ji Tong smiled suddenly: "If you are jealous, just say it, I won't laugh at you." ”

"Well, I'm jealous." He generously confessed, "Now that I think about it, I'm really a little scared." ”

"What are you afraid of?"

"Actually, on the day you graduated, I came back." Su Jing's big hand gently rubbed along her butterfly bone, and Hang Jiabai lowered his head and said to the person in his arms, "I also visited your graduation ceremony, and I wanted to congratulate you on your graduation after it was over." Later, when I saw that you were so happy with your classmates, I was afraid that my appearance would make you resist and affect your original good mood, so I gave up. But I was a little scared to hear you say that, and I didn't even think about the possibility of you finding someone else. If you happen to be with someone else, you'll probably be stupid on the spot. ”

What he said was undoubtedly another bombshell for Ji Tong, she still remembered the emotion and emotion on the day of graduation, and also remembered that she was drunk during the dinner, lying on the table staring at his WeChat information on the mobile phone in a daze, and wanted to click "Add Friends" several times. But what's the use? What sequel would someone from across the ocean have with his drunken ex-girlfriend?

It's a pity that Hang Jiabai and Ji Tong back then lacked so much courage.

Ji Tong turned his back silently, thinking about his words, and muttered in a low voice: "I always thought that you were doing well abroad and never came back." ”

"You're here, how could I not come back......" Hang Jiabai hugged her from behind, buried his head in her neck, rubbed it lightly, and asked quietly in a voice that only she could hear, "Do you want to know why I came back, huh?" ”

She didn't speak, but nodded quietly in the darkness.

So he opened his thin lips lightly and revealed the answer indifferently: "In my third year in the UK, I dreamed one night that you were married, and I felt very uncomfortable, I didn't sleep for three days, and I quit my job and went back to Shanghai. ”

This answer was something Ji Tong couldn't even think of, her nose was sour, and she couldn't help but suck it. In fact, she should have found out a long time ago, he never said that he was waiting for her, but there was a hidden insistence in his gentle eyes.

"How can my stupid girl marry someone else, right?" Hang Jiabai didn't notice the strangeness of the person in his arms, and continued, "Who knows if it's still too late to come back, you have already moved at that time, and you have changed your contact information. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, maybe it was the darkness that made people fall into pessimism, and Dr. Hang, who had always been steady, also began to feel the old sorrow: "I regret it, Tongtong." When I first went to study abroad, I thought that I was alone and could start a new life without worry. But it didn't take long for me to deceive myself and reveal my stuff, it's like a conditioned reflex, I will imagine anything I encounter, what would happen if I were here. I was so tired that I couldn't get used to this kind of day, so I had to study hard and work hard......"

"Kiritori?" Hang Jiabai suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound in the darkness, instantly noticed the change in her feelings, and nervously half propped up, "What's wrong...... Is it crying? ”

Ji Tong didn't respond, but he cried out loud because of his gentle inquiry. As a result, the whole person was hugged by Hang Jiabai and turned around, facing his direction again, and obediently curled up in his arms.

He was still caught off guard by her tears, but instead of just blindly saying "don't cry" as before, he patted her on the back and patiently coaxed her: "It's okay, cry if you want to, I'm here." ”

Her sudden burst of tears were intertwined with self-blame and remorse and the joy of the rest of her life, and there were even some reflections, which were too complicated, so she didn't know how to speak, but Hang Jiabai at this moment already knew it in her heart.

Love is such a thing, probably throwing a lot of good and bad things into time to process and precipitate. And the final work may not meet anyone's expectations, but it is its most unique appearance.

Chapter26

The next day, Hang Jiabai woke up with a sneeze, only to find that the girl in his arms was scratching him with his hair with malicious intentions.

He glanced at the half-open curtains, the sky was just white, and the faint light quietly sprinkled on the wooden floor. He still had a little headache, frowned, and hugged Ji Tong tighter, "What's the matter, woke up so early?" ”

"I can't sleep, I'm so tired." Ji Tong was lying on top of him with half of his body, maybe he was not used to sleeping with two people, and he was a little cold at night, and now he spoke with a nasal voice, which was instantly noticed by Dr. Hang.

He simply wrapped her whole body in the quilt, scratched her nose, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

She joked solemnly: "I wonder if I am responsible for you." ”

Hanga smiled blankly, recalled the previous conversation, and replied pretending to be helpless: "If you are not responsible, I will cry." ”

Laughing quietly with him, watching the dawn gradually appear, time unconsciously slowed down.

Early on Sunday morning, Hang Jiabai got up first to make breakfast, knowing that Ji Tong had a bad stomach, he cooked some millet porridge for her.

While waiting in the kitchen, I answered a call from a student.

Xiao Zhang seemed to be in a hurry, and as soon as he connected it, he jumped straight to the topic: "Teacher Hang, it's not good, Shu Xiaoyu is leaving!" ”

"Where are you going?" Hangjiabai was confused.

"After Friday's incident, she cried for two days in fright, and last night she called home and said she didn't want to be a doctor anymore." Xiao Zhang slowly explained, "The incident was filmed and posted on the Internet, and Shu Xiaoyu's family also saw it, and now they are shocked, saying that they want to come to the hospital to ask for an explanation." Shu Xiaoyu was busy persuading her family not to be impulsive, and said that she wanted to leave, and several of our classmates persuaded her all night. Mr. Hang, what do you say you should do? ”

"Whether she chose to study medicine back then or give up now, it was all out of her own will, and she should be responsible for her choice." Hang Jiabai said frankly, "Friday's incident □□ sudden, just gave her a chance to think well, if she really can't face these unknown fears and pressures, maybe quitting as soon as possible is the best choice for her." ”

"Teacher Hang, but she has always been the hardest working one in our group, her family is ordinary, and her parents want her to be a doctor. She usually wakes up early and is greedy for night, goes to the library whenever she has time, and rarely goes out with us. We all felt that it would be a shame for her to just give up. Xiao Zhang continued to plead, "Teacher Hang, can you help us persuade her?" Xiaoyu respects you the most and is willing to listen to you. ”

Hang Jiabai was said to be a little embarrassed, in fact, he was never willing to interfere with other people's choices, but this incident happened in front of him, and he was more or less touched. Last time, Shu Xiaoyu gave him thousands of pens as soon as he made a move, and he thought that the other party's family was good, but he never expected that it was just "ordinary" as Xiao Zhang said. Fortunately, he returned it the next day, otherwise it would have been really difficult to do. But Shu Xiaoyu's phone call that night had already revealed his heart clearly, Hang Jiabai knew that he shouldn't have any entanglement with someone he didn't like, even if he had the identity of a fellow brother and sister, he still refused Xiao Zhang's request.

Hang Jiabai hung up the phone, just went back to the kitchen to turn off the fire and serve porridge, and when he turned around to the living room, he saw Ji Tong, who was wrapped in a quilt, was moving towards him in a clumsy manner, and asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with that female classmate of yours?" ”

"Eavesdropping on my phone call?" Hang Jiabai stepped forward with a smile, picked up the quilt and carried it on his shoulders and walked into the room, "Don't run around if you catch a cold." ”

It wasn't until he put the restless girl on the bed and resettled down that he spoke again: "Shu Xiaoyu, you watched the video on the Internet last time, and after that incident, you said that you were going to give up studying medicine, what do you think?" ”

Ji Tong twisted in the quilt, turned sideways to hold one of his hands, and asked instead of answering: "She likes you, right?" ”

Hang Jiabai didn't expect her to ask like this, and smiled a little surprised: "She said it, but you know, I can't like anyone except you." ”

She didn't get angry, but thought about it seriously, and shared her confusion with him: "Boiled water, do emotional matters also pay attention to first-come, first-served?" ”

"Not necessarily." He gave a clear answer, "But I'm glad I knew you so early, so what happened between us can be explained logically by 'first come, first come'." ”

Shu Xiaoyu also asked him a similar question on the phone that day, if it was Shu Xiaoyu who knew him earlier, would the ending be different?

Hang Jiabai knows very well that once this question is spoken, all the answers are biased and hurtful. He has always been very sensible, but in front of such ethereal questions, he behaves like a child without rules, and only stubbornly identifies his own routines.

Once you fall in love with someone with all your heart, you will not allow anyone to replace her position.

"It doesn't seem like an 'explanation', it's more like a 'prevarication', right?" Ji Tong heard the loopholes in his words at a glance, and laughed to expose him, "Doctor Hang, you can't answer, so you start talking nonsense." It's just that you're too lazy to think about the answer, and it just so happens that we've known each other for a long time, and anyone who asks about you can just use the 'first come, first served' theory to get away. ”

"I'm getting smarter, I can't fool you." Hang Jiabai had no choice but to raise his hand in surrender, "I admit it, I'm quite lazy, too lazy to touch new things and meet new friends, so I always feel that the old one is the best." ”

The two talked farther and farther away on this topic, and in the end, no one could tell the difference between "nostalgia" and "laziness".

Hang Jiabai found his own clothes from the closet for Ji Tong to wear, and let her sit on the bed and enjoy breakfast slowly. Because there are so few such opportunities on weekdays, he even treats her as a patient who needs to be taken care of completely, and feeds her porridge one bite at a time. Fortunately, there were no others around, otherwise they would have to be tired of the two of them.

Ji Tong thought about it for a long time and felt that this matter was a matter of a person's life, whether it was an impulsive decision or a deliberate result, a senior like Hang Jiabai needed to talk to Shu Xiaoyu for the last time. She knew that Hang Jiabai had a soft heart, and after all, she couldn't turn a cold eye and ignore the lives of others. Just like he thought about giving up studying medicine at the beginning, he should have some feelings about it. So she asked Shu Xiaoyu to go out for a meal, and talked about the pimple in her heart to see if there was a way to compromise.

Hang Jiabai naturally agreed, but he had to bring Ji Tong with him no matter what. Woman, in the end, is still duplicitous, no matter how generous he is, he still can't fall into this trap without heart and lungs.

**

The two of them ordered a creative vegetable dish with a quiet environment in the city center, and Shu Xiaoyu appeared on time, just like Xiao Zhang said, the whole person was not energetic.

It's just that when he saw Ji Tong beside Hang Jiabai, there was a short-term change in his eyes. But when I thought about it, I remembered Hang Jiabai's two completely different attitudes, and there was nothing to be sad about. She was now more numb, and never-ending exhaustion.

After a simple greeting, Hang Jiabai poured her a cup of tea and handed it over, "Shu Xiaoyu, listen to Xiao Zhang, you don't want to study medicine anymore?" ”

"Well......" Shu Xiaoyu, who was sitting alone opposite the two of them, nodded stiffly, and never dared to raise his eyes to look directly at him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hang, I think ...... I may not be a doctor. ”

Hang Jiabai put his ten fingers on the table and asked calmly, "Why is it not suitable?" ”

"I always thought that doctors and nurses were angels in white who healed and saved lives. However, the patient didn't seem to think like that......" In addition to the crazy patient this time, she also remembered bed 15 with a flirtatious attitude before, and there was no light in her eyes.

"Then let me ask you, what are you studying medicine for?" Hang Jiabai asked in a different way, "Do you think the image of a doctor is great, or do you just follow the wishes of your parents?" ”

"When I first took the college entrance examination, I filled in medical school because of my parents' insistence." Shu Xiaoyu said frankly, "When I first went to college, I watched a lot of TV and novels about doctors, and I began to admire this profession. And then I participated in the internship ......"

Speaking of this, her words suddenly stopped, raised her eyes to look at Ji Tong, and swallowed the second half of the sentence raw.

Later, she participated in the internship, and until today, the personable instructor has completely strengthened her ambition to become a doctor.

It's just that...... He already had his own happiness, and this most important reason supporting Shu Xiaoyu's study of medicine collapsed in her heart. After a series of events, she also had doubts about the image of the doctor. Now all that remains is the heavy hopes of the parents and the burden of the family's livelihood.

In a few years, her father will retire, and she will have to carry the whole family by then. Originally, the salary of the tertiary hospital was okay, and with the fact that he could see Hang Jiabai every day, Shu Xiaoyu was bent on staying in Zhongcheng. But the exam was imminent, but she suddenly retreated......

Hang Jiabai knew that this matter was complicated and difficult to solve, so he only asked her the most important question in front of her: "Then have you ever thought about what you will do next if you give up now?" ”

Shu Xiaoyu hesitated and replied: "I want to change careers, but I don't know what to do......

The conversation suddenly fell silent, everyone was thinking, but no one could come up with a clear solution.

After a while, Ji Tong opened his mouth first: "Xiaoyu, do you know what I used to study?" ”

Shu Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise and shook his head blankly.

"I used to study economic law." Ji Tong smiled and pointed to himself, "When I just graduated, I went to the law firm to engrave CDs, and I went to the accounting firm to make soy sauce." But I didn't like any kind of life, and I was tired and tired during that time, and I asked myself what I was going to do tomorrow every night before I went to bed. Oh yes, I also had a mild depression for this, and my friend took me to treatment. The psychiatrist asked me what my childhood dreams were. I didn't even think about it, I told him, I loved to join in the fun since I was a child. My dream job was one where I worked with people and had fun every day, rather than dealing with civil disputes or financial statements all day long. ”

Shu Xiaoyu listened carefully and couldn't help asking, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, before I finished talking, I understood it myself." Ji Tong said again, "At that time, I was about the same as you, I was only twenty-four or five, and when I came out of the clinic, I felt that the sky was blue." I realized that I was still very young and I had so much time to start over, so why did I have to limit myself by the major I had studied in previous years? Then I tried to do wedding planning, and learned from scratch, although I was still very tired every day, and I would suffer all kinds of grievances, but every night before going to bed, I could sleep down when I remembered what I had done that day. ”

Shu Xiaoyu listened to Ji Tong's experience and nodded thoughtfully. Although she couldn't fully digest it for a while, Ji Tong's words gave her a lot of encouragement and courage. She really shouldn't be confined to a few years of study, but should broaden her horizons and develop a passion she really loves to become a career.

"I've always been submissive and didn't have any big ideas since I was a child, but I really figured it out about giving up studying medicine." Shu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Hang Jiabai again, "Teacher Hang, I'm sorry, I'm going to live up to your teachings." I don't think I'm mentally capable enough to take on this job, just like you said the AIDS vaccination rate the other day, my brain was blank at that time, and I didn't even think about it. ”

"Normal people are scared in that situation." Hang Jiabai comforted her briefly, "But since you have thought it through, I respect your choice." I'll say hello to the director first, and you'll talk to him alone tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Hang." Shu Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at Ji Tong one last time, "Thank you...... Mrs. ”

This sentence took her a lot of courage, since she chose to leave, she should give this unrequited love an end.

Before leaving, the two sent Shu Xiaoyu to a nearby subway station, her eyes flashed with a glimmer, and she faced Hang Jiabai for a long time before finally saying with relief: "Teacher Hang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have that idea for you." Please forget what you said last time, and I wish you and your wife eternal happiness. ”

Hang Jiabai didn't know how to respond to this sudden realization, and only said four words lightly: "Take care, come on." ”

Shu Xiaoyu nodded, bowed to the two, turned around and ran into the subway station.

Chapter27

After seeing Shu Xiaoyu leave, Hang Jiabai finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to hug Ji Tong's shoulder, and finally asked the question that had been held in the banquet for a long time: "Why didn't you tell me that you have experienced so many setbacks since graduation?" Ever had depression? ”

Ji Tong shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, it was very painful at that time, but now that I think about it, I don't think it's anything." ”

Hang Jiabai pursed the corners of her lips helplessly and smiled, she felt nothing, but he felt distressed. Looking at her flowery smile and calmness at this moment, laughing at the sourness of the past, he suddenly wanted to go back to that year and hug Xiao Ji Tong, who was once at a loss.

He finally understood why he was so concerned about her when he was on the other side of the ocean.

It turns out that even if you stay by her side, the feeling of longing will not disappear completely.

On Sunday afternoon, the two walked along the shopping street. When Hang Jiabai was alone in England, he rarely went out shopping, and he was afraid that he would want to buy anything he saw for Ji Tong. And now that the deity is around, the ** of impulsive consumption has not decreased at all.

Spring is about to begin, and the mall has already put out new products for early spring. Ji Tong hadn't been shopping in the mall for a long time, and he thought everything looked good, so he finally picked out a piece of clothing and went into the fitting room.

At the door is the legendary "boyfriend depository", and there are several other men around Hang Jiabai, waiting for their female companions to interview clothes. There was a man next to him, who was about to be driven crazy by his girlfriend who had changed hundreds of clothes, scratching his ears and cheeks and begging his girlfriend who came out again if he could go home early.

The woman snorted coldly: "It's not like this when you chase me!" ”

All women in the world love that sentence to suppress men.

However, this sentence is invalid for Hang Jiabai, who made it impossible to confess first was the girl Ji Tong. For this reason, she regretted it, saying that she was missing a trump card because of this. But the eyes of others can see clearly, who is Hang Jiabai? Even if ten years have passed, how good it was to her at the beginning will only increase now.

At this time, Ji Tong happened to change her clothes and came out, she picked out a simple apricot printed dress, turned around in front of Hang Jiabai's eyes, and asked him how he was.

Hang Jiabai replied: "You look good in it, buy it." ”

His words were succinct, but they gave her confidence.

Ji Tong smiled happily: "Well, then I'll wait for me, I'll change my clothes back." ”

Hang Jiabai nodded and asked her, "Don't you want to pick a few more?" The same came out, and I paid for it in a while. ”

"No, I have a lot of clothes at home."

This time, before Hang Jiabai could say anything, he was preemptively opened by the man just now, but the words were said to his troublesome girlfriend: "Look at people, don't you just try one, what's the fool?" ”

However, his girlfriend didn't admit defeat either, and quickly counterattacked: "Please, can you take a look at someone's boyfriend first!" ”

Hang Jiabai and Ji Tong looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

**

When Ji Tong was changing clothes, her mobile phone suddenly rang, it was Ji's mother's call. The mobile phone was held by Hang Jiabai, who hesitated for a while and picked up the phone.

A strange middle-aged man's voice came from the other end, saying that Ji's mother had just returned to Shanghai, fell and fractured at the train station, and was now in the hospital.

As soon as he heard the news, Hang Jiabai rushed to the hospital near the train station with Ji Tong.

It is said that Ji's mother stepped on the air when she went downstairs, but fortunately, she wore a lot of clothes, except for a fracture in her ankle, everything else was fine.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Ji's mother was tying a plaster, and she seemed to be in good shape, but she was a little scared.

Ji Tong heard his mother complain about the crowds at the train station, and suddenly noticed another person in the consultation room, a middle-aged man in his fifties.

"This is your Uncle Wang, we are a WeChat group, and we usually go out to travel together or something." Before Ji Tong could speak, Ji's mother explained first, "Thanks to him for sending me to the hospital today." ”

Ji Tong took a step forward and nodded politely, "Thank you, Uncle Wang." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Uncle Wang seemed to be a little flattered and waved his hand again and again.

Hang Jiabai looked at Ji's mother's X-ray, and also came over to thank him: "We'll invite Uncle Wang to dinner in a while." ”

"No need, I'm sorry to ......" Uncle Wang was about to shirk it, but was interrupted by a look from Ji's mother, and immediately changed his words, "Uh, then ...... It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

This subtle look made Hang Jia feel strange, and instantly looked at the girl beside him who was grinning, she was taking the piece in his hand, pondering what she couldn't understand.

In the evening, the group went to a Chinese restaurant near Ji's house, because it was only four o'clock, and there were not many people in the store. As soon as Ji Tong sat down, he began to ask his mother about traveling. Ji's mother replied half-heartedly, but her words were always inseparable from her feelings about her old age.

After a meal, Hang Jiabai had basically confirmed his guess, but Ji Tong still didn't notice the slightest clue.

This Uncle Wang is a retired middle school teacher, he doesn't talk much, he looks honest and responsible, and he should be considered handsome when he is young. Hang Jiabai looked at Ji Mu again, and his heart was inexplicably sour. He remembered some unpleasant past, also related to his parents, and deeply rooted in his dark childhood.

In fact, he is very envious of Ji Tong, she always lives in a daze, and she can't see the original appearance of life, so she is happy, and even a little heartless.

"What do you always see me doing?" Ji Tong noticed his strange eyes and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of his eyes.

Hang Jiabai smiled faintly, and his thumb gently swiped the corners of her mouth, wiping the remaining salad dressing. "You're good-looking."

When Ji Mu saw this scene, she smiled with satisfaction.

After eating, Hang Jiabai sent Uncle Wang home, and sent the mother and daughter of the Ji family back, carried Ji's mother upstairs to settle down, and instructed him to leave after a while.

The next day, the news of Shu Xiaoyu's departure from Zhongcheng spread. Because the number of retweets of this video on the Internet is increasing day by day, it has also attracted some reporters to interview the handsome and calm Dr. Hang in the video. What the dean meant was that the relationship between doctors and patients had been tense over the years, and such things had happened frequently, so he instructed Hang Jiabai to take this opportunity to be interviewed and say a few words to the medical staff.

Of course, he was not a man of words, and he only gave some succinct answers to the reporters' questions.

Outside the conference room, several interns whispered at the door.

"Our Teacher Hang is going to be popular!!"

"That's not good, how can our Dazhongcheng's yard grass be discovered by others?"

"I've watched that video on the Internet many times, and hey, it's handsome to a new height. If you want me to say, Shu Xiaoyu is also worth it! ”

“……”

"Don't you talk about the rights and wrongs of others, will you die?" Wang Wei clasped his hands to his chest impatiently, "Believe it or not, I'll go to the director to sue now?" ”

The women who "cut ......" gossip could only disperse and cast a roll of the eyes on this uninteresting man.

When Hang Jiabai returned to the office after the interview, Wang Wei was already waiting for him at the door, and his face was a little bad.

Hang Jiabai invited him in and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Wei was not afraid of offending his mentor, his attitude was not very good, and he said sarcastically: "Teacher Hang, is it interesting to rely on this kind of thing to gain popularity?" ”

Hang Jiabai glanced at him in astonishment, this Wang Wei has always been uninhibited, but he has never had any disrespect for his predecessors.

So he was a little incredulous and asked him, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"Of course, I know very well." Wang Wei sneered, "Teacher Hang, you are a teacher, I am a student, I am not afraid of your revenge when I say this today." Shu Xiaoyu has already left the hospital for this matter, and you have not done anything as her teacher, but are bragging to a group of reporters about how capable you are, are you worthy of being a teacher? ”

"Wang Wei, Shu Xiaoyu's choice to leave is the result of her careful consideration, not an impulse." Hangjia Bai regained his calmness and calmly analyzed, "Medical care is a matter of human life, not a joke. I'm scared now, what will I do later? Her personality is weak and her psychological endurance is not high, and surgery is indeed not suitable for her. If she can't hold on, we can't force it. ”

But Wang Wei still didn't understand his hard work, and asked with a sneer: "When you say that, do you mean that you don't care about her?" ”

"That's all I have to say, I don't have anything else to say." Hang Jiabai got up again, "I'm going to do my rounds, you can either stay here and continue to think, or go with me." ”

The door of the office was gently closed, and Wang Wei sat alone on the sofa in a daze, with an indissible obsession between his eyebrows.

**

On this day, Hang Jiabai saw a familiar figure in the registration hall on the ground floor of the hospital as soon as he got off work.

He trotted forward and patted Ji Tong's shoulder from behind, "Hey, come to me?" ”

She had just arrived, and she was holding her mobile phone to dial his number, and she was so slapped that she was so frightened that the three souls lost their seven souls.

When he turned around, he burst into tears.

“…… What's wrong? Hang Jiabai was helpless by these tears, leaned down and wiped the hot tears on the side of his eyes, "It can't be that I was scared to cry, right?" I'm sorry......"

Ji Tong still cried non-stop, in this bustling hall, as if he was bullied by the person in front of him and suffered great grievances.

Hang Jiabai looked awkwardly at the people around him who were quietly watching the play, and smiled at them awkwardly.

"What's wrong Tongtong, I was wrong......" He really didn't know what to say to coax her, so he just said as if coaxing a child, "I'll take you to eat delicious food and make amends to you, okay?" ”

She could hear this, raised her eyes to him aggrievedly, and nodded again.

In the past few days, the temperature in Shanghai has risen slightly, and Ji Tong is crying a little hot, and a thin layer of sweat has appeared on his forehead.

Hang Jiabai carefully held her in his arms, bent into the alley behind the hospital, and saw that she was sobbing less frequently, before asking, "Can you sue me, why are you unhappy?" ”

She nodded, "I just went home and heard people in the community talking about my mother, saying that she and Uncle Wang are ...... That kind of relationship ......"

Hang Jiabai smiled helplessly and said in a deep voice: "So you're not happy?" ”

"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Ji Tong raised his head in surprise and looked at his determined eyes.

"I guessed it." Hang Jiabai said frankly, "Actually, at your mother's age, it's normal to find another companion." ”

When Ji Tong heard this, he immediately stopped and looked at him incredulously.

"What's wrong?"

"You think it's normal?" She took two steps back and left his warm embrace, "My dad was so nice to you when he was here, why did you forget him in the blink of an eye?" ”

"It's not that I forgot." Hang Jiabai noticed the fluctuation of her feelings, so he had to lower his tone, "Tongtong, your father is very good, but he has been dead for so many years......"

"Can I be replaced if I die?" Ji Tong asked rhetorically, and when he thought of himself, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, "Then, if I die, you will also ...... Looking for someone else? ”

"......" Hang Jiabai was dumbfounded by the question, he knew that her brain was spinning fast, and she always liked to think about this tricky and strange aspect.

I can't talk about her, and I don't want to see her get into a dead end. So he decisively stepped forward and pulled the aggrieved girl back into his arms.

Ji Tong struggled twice, then didn't resist anymore, sniffed, and whimpered and cried again.

Hang Jiabai didn't say anything more, and gently touched her head, as if comforting a disobedient kitten.

Quiet and tranquil alleys cut off the noise of car horns on the noisy streets in the distance.

Ji Tong's heart never calmed down, and after a long time, Hang Jiabai's ominous words came to his ears: "Don't say that in the future." ”

Life is so small, fate is so unpredictable, and after more than ten years of joys and sorrows, he really doesn't want to spend time thinking about such pessimistic things. Isn't birth, old age, sickness and death the normal state of life? But why did he see so many helpless deaths, but still subconsciously resisted the possibility she proposed.

Hang Jiabai knew in his heart that a word about her would never make him able to face it calmly.
