31. Deliverance

The shrill and sharp sound of brakes sounded on this ordinary afternoon.

He Xu was startled, if it wasn't for the critical time to notice that her movements slowed down the car, the consequences were estimated to be unimaginable. Although he couldn't stop her from jumping out of the car in time, at least he shouldn't be hurt too much.

He stopped the car, opened the door, and was about to step out, when out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that someone was coming, he hesitated for a moment, and got back into the car.

Fortunately, the winter clothes are thicker, and in April, I only felt that my knee was hot, and my right arm was also a little bruised. She was about to get up with her hands on the ground, but she felt that it was dark in front of her, and someone stopped in front of her.

April's heart sank, did you still chase it?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, a warm and deep voice came to his ears, "Are you okay?" ”

The voice of the visitor was familiar, but it was not anything. April's heart was relieved, and he stood up slightly clenched along the other party's outstretched arm.

"It's fine." April let go of his hand and looked up, both of them were stunned.

"Hey, doctor, do you know this person?" There was a slightly hoarse female voice in her ears, the voice came from far and near, April looked over, and just saw the other side walking towards her.

"There was a one-sided relationship." The doctor smiled and held out his hand to the woman.

April's height is not short among girls, but this woman is nearly half a head taller than her, conservatively estimated to be 1.75 meters. She wore a long gray V-neck sweater with solid jeans and a pair of handmade old-fashioned cotton shoes on her feet. The collocation of cards that do not follow common sense, combined with the other party's lazy and casual temperament, looks very harmonious.

This woman can't be described as beautiful, but her temperament is too unique and unforgettable.

She leaned on the man's shoulders with her hands, and when she saw April looking at her, she smiled at her, "Hello, my name is Qiao Xu." ”

"Hello, my name is Lin April."

"Lin April, this name is really special." Qiao Xu thought for a moment, and glanced at the car parked not far in front of him.

After a fixed glance, she quietly withdrew her gaze and kept silent about the April jump, "Where are you going, I'll give you a ride with the doctor." ”

April's eyes wandered around the taxi in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and said to her with a grateful face, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, since it's someone the doctor knows, it's half a friend." After speaking, she pulled the man next to her, changed her tone, and said pitifully: "Doctor, it's cold outside." ”

Her voice was already hoarse, and she deliberately pinched the tone at this time, and her voice sounded almost whispering love words.

The doctor's snow-white face seemed to be red, and after glancing at April on the side, he stretched out his palm to cover the back of her hand, and said softly, "I'll let you wear more clothes when you come out." ”

"There's heating in the car, and it's only in the twenties where we're going." Qiao Xu hooked the corners of his mouth and made a grimace with a smile.

"The more you live, the more you look like a little girl." The doctor shook his head and smiled, "Let's go in first." ”

When the three of them arrived in the car, the heating filled their bodies, April subconsciously rubbed his hands, and looked out the window to see that the taxi was gone.

"Last time, I said that I wanted to give you a bottle of Chinese medicine ointment, but I never had a chance to give it to you, and today is really a coincidence, I just happened to bring it in the car." With a gentle smile on his face, the man pulled out a small brown vial out of nowhere.

April stretched out his hand to take it, and as soon as he touched it, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

"Don't look at its simple packaging, but it's a secret recipe of the hospital, and it's very effective for scars on the body." The man explained.

"Thank you." April said sincerely, carefully filling the medicine bottle into the bag.

"You're not going to be too polite." Qiao Xu took over the words, turned around and smiled at her, "By the way, where are you going?" ”

After giving a place name in April, the doctor set off.

The car was very quiet, April sat alone in the back seat of the car, and found that the two of them didn't talk much, but with a movement and a look, you could feel the tacit understanding between them.

April thought about it, and they could be regarded as indirectly saving her, but she didn't know the doctor's name, so she asked, "Doctor, I don't know your name yet." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Xu glanced at someone who was concentrating on driving, turned around, and raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Don't you know his name?" ”

When she made this expression, her eyes were handsome and ruffian, and she had a charm that was different from ordinary women.

This one......

April was stunned for a moment, and instinctively denied, "I don't know." ”

The smile in the woman's eyes was even stronger, as if there were bewitching flowers blooming in the depths of her eyes, she lowered her voice, and her voice was almost bewitching: "You called out his name, why do you still say you don't know." ”

April opened her mouth, not quite understanding what she was saying.

The doctor helplessly looked at someone who occasionally played pranks next to him, opened his lips lightly, his tone was not hurried, and he said calmly: "I forgot to introduce myself, I call it a lifetime, a life of symbols, a life of symbols, and a life of staying together." ”

So that's the case, it's a big oolong, and it's always been her own mistake.

"yes, he's my 'life.'" Qiao Xu emphasized the last two words, and the expression on his face could be called proud. Quietly glanced at the serious man beside him, only to see his ears, suspiciously slightly red, Qiao Xu expressed his satisfaction.

Feeling the sweet atmosphere between them, April somehow felt envious, if she could have such a relationship......

April didn't let them drive to the entrance of the compound, and when there were still about a few hundred meters left, she asked them to stop on the side of the road. The doctor rarely said to her: "Xiaoxu and I are leaving this city, and we will meet later." ”

This kind of parting is probably never encountered again in the future. After all, such a pair of talented and beautiful men and women should have nothing to do with her.

"There will be a date later." April said solemnly.

The car quickly drove into the distance, and she watched silently for a while, and suddenly there was a trace of sadness in her heart.

Life is really full of parting.

What she didn't know was that he made a phone call to someone when the doctor was halfway through the car.

Qiao Xu listened to the doctor's intoxicated and mellow tone, and yawned boredly. Fu Shengsheng glanced at her, and after a few brief words to the person on the phone, he hung up.

"What's wrong? Are you sleepy? ”

Qiao Xu shook his head, picked up the doctor's mobile phone casually, and muttered as he fiddled: "Gu Qingyan, that man is so weird, it's better to deal less with him." ”

The doctor smiled lightly and rubbed Qiao Xu's half-length hair distractedly.

Her hair, compared to the previous hedgehog-like hairstyle, is obviously much better.

***

When I got home, Qi Yu was not there. April looked around and saw piles of clothes and socks everywhere, cigarette butts littered on the floor, and a cursory glance at the dining table revealed a layer of oil floating on the surface.

She couldn't help but sigh, put her dirty clothes in a wooden basin, poured water and soaked them in laundry detergent first. Walking to the cramped kitchen, sure enough, there was another pile of bowls. The water was bitterly cold in winter, so she boiled a pot of water in an electric kettle, mixed it with some cold water, washed the dishes, and wiped the table clean.

She did all of this very naturally.

At her young and immature age, when she was not an orphan, her mother also took care of the small family tightly and orderly. At that time, my mother would make the room fragrant, the bedding on the bed smelled of sunshine, she would change her tricks every day to cook some home-cooked dishes, and when my father came back after a hard day, she would massage his sore shoulders.

At that time, their family of three lived happily and simply. Therefore, although no one taught her, she still took care of Qi Yu the way her mother treated her father, and she always thought that in the future, Ah Yu would be her husband.

April moved a low stool and sat by the barrel, and after setting the washboard in place, he gritted his teeth and put his hand inside. Winter clothes are all large, and they will become very heavy after soaking in water, and she scrubs her clothes hard, and her fingers are frozen a little. After a long period of work, she washed her clothes, and was about to pour out the dirty water and replace it with clean water, when there was a sound of a key turning at the door.

When she turned around, she met the gaze of the man outside the door.

"April, you're back?" The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up and ran to April's side in surprise.

It's only been a few days since I saw it, but somehow I feel a little like a world away. April looked back at Qi Yu, who was slightly haggard at the door, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The man put the food he had just bought in the kitchen, and when he came out, he casually caught a glimpse of April's frozen red knuckles. He held her hand in distress and guilt, wrapped her hands in his thick and warm palms, and rubbed hard while exhaling, and when the temperature of the hand wrapped in the palm warmed up slightly, he did not let go.

"April, you just came back, do you want to go to bed and rest for a while, I'll call you when I'm ready." His words were considerate and caring, and the joy in his eyes overflowed bit by bit, "By the way, these days when you are away, I have learned to cook delicious dishes, you must taste it for a while, if you think it is delicious, I will make it for you every day in the future." ”

He looked at April almost flatteringly, thinking about their future.

After the hasty interruption of that wedding reception, April has not had a chance to talk to him properly, and this time when he returns, there are some things that he really needs to explain. She twitched her hand, and the man sensed her intentions, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and the force he used couldn't help but increase a little.

April felt a little painful, so she no longer tried to break free, but slowly told him what she should have said earlier: "Ah Yu, our wedding has been canceled." ”

"I know." The man's words were a little hurried, and he raised April's hands to his chest, his eyes full of pain, fear, and regret.

As if he was afraid that April would say something that would make him sad, he said very quickly: "Don't say it yet, listen to me." In April, I didn't have a good night's sleep in the days you left, I would go out to buy vegetables every day, always thinking that maybe you would come back today, and then I would work harder to learn to cook. ”

Qi Yu choked up and continued: "You know, my cooking skills are terrible, if I can't do it once, twice, and if I can't do it twice, three times. I say this just to tell you, as long as I work hard, I can take good care of you, and in the future, I will take care of you, okay? Those bad pasts, let's just forget them and start over, okay? ”
