There is a pot of jasmine flowers in the room, and the flowers are in full bloom to spread the fresh and elegant fragrance throughout the house.

At this time, although Su Rurong was leaning on the bed in a white patient gown, her face was full of a quiet smile, and she was reading a thick book of poems in her hand with relish.

Hearing the sound of the door, the door was closed again, Su Rurong thought that the doctor had come to check the ward, and then she couldn't get enough of it and closed it with a white feather bookmark in the pages of the poetry collection.

After looking up and glancing at Li Jie, Su Rurong was suddenly stunned.

Pulling the long hair around her ears in a daze, Su Rurong's eyes kept looking at Li Jie, and she began to murmur involuntarily: "Like." It's like ......."

Li Jie smiled and blinked, "Like what?" Like I came to ask you for rent? ”

The familiar voice and the face in the ordinary memory fused together, and Su Rurong's big eyes suddenly widened in surprise!

"You, you, you are ......"

"Yes, it's me." Li Jie sat on the edge of her bed with a smile, nodded and said, "You are not mistaken, I am back." ”

Su Rurong suddenly stretched out her hand and stroked Li Jie's face, and said in surprise: "Your face? How can it be?! It's been more than 20 years! ”

Li Jie shrugged helplessly: "No way, the living conditions abroad are good, and I take good care of them." ”

Zhang Liang next to him glanced left and right, his brows wrinkled unconsciously. Quietly poked Li Jie's waist with his fingers, and when the other party turned around, Zhang Liang hurriedly asked in a low voice: "You guys won't be ...... back then?" Well, although my sister-in-law can't give birth, my sister-in-law still looks very young. ”

"What nonsense? She and her husband were, and the three of us were very good buddies back then. All live under one roof! Li Jie glared at him fiercely, pointed to the door and said, "You go out!" Su Rurong and I have a few words to say! ”

Su Rurong also suddenly realized that her surprise was too gaffe, which may have misunderstood the tall young man next to her, and she blushed and took back her trembling palm.

"Oh." Zhang Liang pursed his lips, glanced at Su Rurong, who was over half a hundred years old but still charming, and muttered quietly when he turned around: "Are you embarrassed to talk about me?" Now you want me to go and open the door...... Alas, tastes are sometimes really complicated. ”

When Zhang Liang closed the door with his backhand after going out, Li Jie shook his head awkwardly and said, "He doesn't understand the situation." So I'm going to break him up so that you don't have something to say. ”

Su Rurong smiled slightly, her eyes were still nostalgic for Li Jie's twenty-six years that had not changed, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "It's been twenty-six years, and you look exactly the same as the day you left, and you haven't changed at all." I'm ...... you Brother Shao" paused, Su Rurong felt that she used inappropriate words, and changed her words: "Xiao Shao and I are both old...... To use an inappropriate analogy, if the three of us were to walk down the street together now, people would mistake you for our child. ”

Li Jie smiled indifferently, and didn't want to explain more, so he asked with concern: "I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you immediately." Don't think about it, medicine is not much more advanced now than it was 26 years ago. I'm sure you'll be cured! ”

Su Rurong shook her head with a smile and sighed: "Brother Li, I haven't forgotten your kindness until now. If it weren't for you, Xiao Shao and I would ...... Alas, the past will not be mentioned. My own body, I know it myself. I'm very open-minded. It's just that since my illness was found out, Xiao Shao's temper has been very irritable. I'm worried about him, you know we're all almost sixty years old, and his health is getting worse and worse now than it used to be. I'm just afraid he won't be able to handle this......"

Li Jie patted the back of her hand and said with relief: "Don't think about it, it's true to take care of your illness." ”

Su Rurong smiled but looked regretful: "Although my illness is in the stomach, it is actually rooted in my heart." In recent years, with the development of Xiao Shao's career and the establishment of the company, our living conditions have become better and better. But I can't find the happiness I used to have...... Even though I don't have to work anymore, I don't have to worry about making a living, almost every day except eat, sleep, or go shopping. But I felt like I had lost the most important thing, and my heart was empty...... In the past few days, I have been recuperating in the hospital to reminisce, and I miss the past time, the past days when I worked hard for the goal with Xiao Shao and you. ”

She sighed heavily and said with a wry smile: "Money is really not the most important thing, as long as people learn to be satisfied." Getting it just for the sake of money will only make you hollow and numb. It's just a pity that I didn't know what I had lost until more than twenty years later. ”

Li Jie stared intently at the emotion that the other party showed when he spoke, and shook his head slightly wordlessly before lowering his gaze.

Su Rurong found that her words made Li Jie's expression dark, and after scolding herself with remorse, she smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Li." There's something that Xiao Shao and I have always wanted to ask you. Why the hell did you suddenly disappear that day? Later, Xiao Shao and I went to look for you everywhere, but we couldn't find it. Even after Xiao Shao's company went public ten years ago, Xiao Shao also spent a lot of money to go abroad to make TV search advertisements. But you don't have any news. There was no way, as soon as Xiao Shao and I decided, we sent our son to Oceania. First, I want him to see more of the world, and secondly, I want to have a chance to find you. Xiao Shao and I owe you a lot of affection! ”

Li Jie smiled: "Why are you so reluctantly said that you are so numb?" I'm not here to collect debts from you! ”。 Li Jie didn't explain the reason for his disappearance, and Su Rurong didn't continue to ask as if she was used to his sense of mystery.

"You shouldn't have said hello to Xiao Shao yet, right? He should be in the hospital, I'll call him. He'll be happy to see you! Su Rurong, who reacted suddenly, wanted to get up and get out of bed, but was held down by Li Jie. Then I heard the latter ask in a deep voice: "What about Xiong Yongan?" Did you tell Shao Qing about that? ”

"Nope. I'm afraid that Xiao Shao will be worried. Since the past is in the past, let him pass, there is no need to let Xiao Shao worry about this unpleasant thing all the time. Su Rurong shook her head and said with a smile: "But Xiong Yongan didn't appear after you beat him away that day, and he didn't even want a job." A few times he secretly contacted me to ask me to borrow money, and I realized that he was not doing well. However, he didn't dare to come to see Xiao Shao, probably thinking that Xiao Shao would definitely take revenge on him, but he didn't know that I hadn't said it all along. ”

"Well deserved! This kind of person still has a face to live! If I hadn't lent him a penny! You're just too soft! What is there to sympathize with such people! Li Jie scolded fiercely, only hating that he didn't scrap that dog thing in the first place.

The current Shao Qing and Su Rurong will never know that if it weren't for Li Jie's intervention, this fate trajectory would have turned them into a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks. And the culprit is Xiong Yongan!

Hearing Li Jie's complaints, Su Rurong smiled instead: "Brother Li, your face is not old, and your temper has not changed at all." If I hadn't really known you before, I would have thought you were just a young man in your twenties now. Hehe, sometimes when I hear Xiong Yongan's voice, I can still remember what you looked like at that time. ”

Li Jie shook his head ashamedly, listening to Su Rurong as if she was about to take out everything in her heart, and couldn't wait to tell everything she had experienced in the past 26 years.

…… Half an hour later, the door to the ward opened. After seeing Li Mingli coming, Zhang Liang sighed and smiled: "You finally came out?" Just now, several nurses came to check the ward, but I made excuses to stop them. What about her? Willing to let you out? ”

"She just took her medicine and fell asleep." Looking at Zhang Liang's whimsical smile, Li Jie snorted in his eyes.

Looking up and finding that Shao Qing not far away was still being dragged by the female secretary, Li Jie frowned and walked over silently.

When he came to Shao Qing's back, Li Jie opened his mouth and just wanted to call his name, when he heard a bright familiar voice coming.

"Xiao Shao! How is Su Rurong doing now?! As soon as I saw the newspaper, I rushed over! ”

Li Jie stared at it, and saw Xiong Yongan's tall figure running over in a hurry.

Xiong Yongan now looks like he's having a hard time, wearing a set of shabby casual clothes that look like they've been picked out of the garbage heap, stained with dust. His face was full of wrinkles, and there was a foot-long scar on the top of his head that made his scalp bald.

At this time, Xiong Yongan's attention was all focused on Shao Qing, who was dressed brightly, and shouted while desperately squeezing through the crowd.

No one expected that just as Xiong Yongan was about to approach Shao Qing, Li Jie suddenly picked up the wooden chair next to him and smashed it on his back.

There was a thud. The wooden chair in Li Jie's hand shattered and only the handle remained, and Xiong Yongan screamed and lay down on the ground.

At that moment, the people around were stunned by the mutation.

Shao Qingmeng raised his head and glared at Li Jie, but he was momentarily stunned after taking a look. The female government secretary next to her looked at Li Jie in surprise, as if she didn't know her, but when she saw Zhang Liang standing next to Li Jie, her eyes instantly flashed.

"You, you ......" Just like Su Rurong just now, Shao Qing's face kept changing, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"What are you?! You give me a good memory of what I told you before! Don't take my words for! I saw Li Jie glaring at Shao Qing fiercely, and shouted loudly in a tone of lesson. Li Jie pointed his finger at Shao Qing's nose, and then pointed at Xiong Yongan, who had been lying on the ground for a long time and had not gotten up, and then waved his hand and beckoned Zhang Liang to stride away.

Shao Qing behind him didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he was shocked by Li Jie's sudden appearance and lost his soul. I didn't remember that there was a moaning Xiong Yongan on the ground, and he suddenly pulled out his legs and ran to Su Rurong's room.

Pushing the door loudly woke Su Rurong up, and after seeing Shao Qing rushing in with a panicked face, he blurted out and asked, "Rurong, guess who I just saw?" He seems to be our former landlord? ”

Contrary to Shao Qing's expectations, Su Rurong smiled without surprise: "I know, it's Li Jie." He just came to see me. ”

"Why don't you call me?!" Shao Qing counted a sentence unhappily, and after getting an accurate answer, he turned around and ran out: "I'll go to him, he shouldn't have gone far yet!" ”

But she heard Su Rurong shouting Shao Qing behind her: "Don't chase, you can't find him if he wants to leave." He assured me that he would keep in touch with us in the future. Brother Shao, you help me up first......"

Hearing this, Shao Qing hurriedly turned around and carefully picked up Su Rurong's body with both hands.

When Su Rurong leaned into Shao Qing's arms, she smiled slowly: "Brother Shao, Li Jie came this time to let me figure out some things. Let's leave my illness alone, and you can put the company down for the time being. I would like to visit the old house where we used to stay, and it would be nice if you could spend my last days there with me......"

When looking at the warm smile of his wife in his arms looking at the sunlight outside the window, Shao Qing's heart suddenly seemed to melt, and he kept nodding heavily: "I don't want the company anymore." I don't want anything! We're going back today, and we're going back to that house together. We still stayed in that bedroom and slept in that bed! ”

Shao Qing's earnest response made Su Rurong instantly regain the satisfaction she had been losing, and her eyes looked at the pot of white jasmine, Su Rurong said with a smile on her face: "The osmanthus tree that I haven't seen for more than 20 years doesn't know that it has bloomed?" ”

……

When he returned home, Li Jie saw that Jing Ruohan still had unresolved grievances between his eyebrows. Li Jie, who was interested, didn't ask, and after eating in the evening, the two went to bed without saying a word.

At night, Li Jie heard a small cry coming from the living room. As soon as he stretched out his hand and couldn't touch Jing Ruohan's delicate body beside him, Li Jie, who was startled, quickly got up and put on his coat and opened the door and went out.

Unexpectedly, it was not Jing Ruohan who was crying in the living room, but Shi Yiguang.

Shi Yiguang, who was dressed in pajamas, covered his face with his hands and sobbed non-stop, and Jing Ruohan beside him was patting her back and whispering to comfort her.

Surprised, Li Jie hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" When I looked up, the clock hands were already half past two in the morning.
