Chapter 43: The Decade (2)
"I myself have seen Lan Qing on the verge of death several times, but Mu Yi dragged him back regardless of the consequences. No matter how rich the Mu family is, after all, they are people who are not related by blood, not to mention the operation fees of the car accident ten years ago, but later these expenses abroad, although the school gave medical insurance, but it is impossible to fully reimburse them, and that expense is not just a number. ”
Xiao Yi also wanted to tell Chen Pengwei that if he simply thought about forcing Mu Yi to open the water and Lan Qing's side would be over, it would be whimsical, if he really wanted to be with Lan Qing, he had to think about how to deal with the relationship with Mu Yi. Seeing that Chen Pengwei's eyes flashed, knowing that he understood what he meant, Xiao Yi continued.
"Lan Qing graduated in the same year as me, and she was much better in the last semester, but she just didn't have to go to the hospital often. Once we had dinner at home, there were a lot of friends, and Lan Qing was tired in the evening, so I accompanied her back to the house first. I drank some wine that day, some gossip, Lan Qing can't drink, and I can't touch a drop of wine. Xiao Yi said, looked at Chen Pengwei and nodded clearly, and then continued,
"That day, because we were about to separate, we were a little sad and talked a lot, but I can't remember the specifics, but I always remember her saying, 'With my body, I will never marry in this life, and I have dragged Mu Yi down for too long. Our ancient dance, I'm afraid it's not the life of longevity, my ancestor is only 50 years old, my master is 40 years old, I don't know how long I can live here, why bother to harm others. I don't want to be able to accept an apprentice to pass it on like Master, I just want to be able to record the parts I have studied and understood in my lifetime, whether it is words or images, at least not in my hands. Xiaoyi, a person who can only work hard to live and doesn't know what kind of person he will be in the next second, how can he have the luxury of love? For so many years, sometimes I am very tired and tired, especially every time I wake up in the ward, looking at Mu Yi so tired, I am thinking, why save me, it is better not to wake up, even if it is sad, it is only for a while, and then everyone will be relieved, but because he worked so hard to save me, I can only work harder to live, even if I am tired, I dare not give up. ”
Xiao Yi lowered her head, her voice was a little dull, and when she said this, she really couldn't speak, so she took a tissue and pressed it on her eyes. Gu Wenhao looked at Chen Pengwei, sighed slightly, sat beside her, hugged her gently, and patted her on the back. After coming over for a while, Xiao Yi's sobbing voice quieted down, and she dried her eyes, which were already red and swollen.
“…… Every time I think of what she said, I can't help but want to cry. She is in such poor health, and she still insists on dancing. I once told Mu Yi to tell her to stop dancing and rest and recuperate, but Mu Yi just shook her head, and it wasn't until Lan Qing finished saying those words to me that I realized that if it weren't for Mu Yi and the dance, she wouldn't have been able to survive surgery again and again. After Xiao Yi finished speaking, she was a little depressed, and she sat there and didn't speak for a long time. The two big men didn't urge her, Gu Wenhao was still sitting next to Xiao Yi and patting gently, Chen Pengwei lowered his head, looking at the tea with ripples in the teacup, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao leaned on Gu Wenhao's side, thinking about something Mu Yi had told her, and hesitated to tell Chen Pengwei. Looking up at Chen Pengwei's somewhat lonely figure opposite, he suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. That's it, just the facts, it's not a help.
The pace of speech slowed down a lot," ...... Lan Qing has a jade plaque on his body, which is a phoenix surrounded by the word 'Wei', "Xiao Yigang said this, only to see Chen Pengwei raise his head suddenly, his lips, which had always been taciturn, trembled slightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, as if crying instead of crying, but his eyes turned red in an instant.
At that time, Xiao Yi had seen Lan Qing wearing that jade card a few times, and asked her, she couldn't remember anything anyway, why not take it off and change it to something else, and collect this well. Lan Qing always shook her head, saying that she didn't know why, she always felt that she couldn't take it off, and it would be more comfortable to wear it, so she just kept wearing it.
Xiao Yi thought that it was left to Lan Qing by her master, but Mu Yi said with certainty that the style of the jade plate looked like a man's. Xiao Yi looked at Chen Pengwei, sighed silently, and said in her heart, "A man's intuition is also very accurate. Mu Yi's guess was really good, he just didn't know who that person was. ”
Xiao Yi said this, stopped, but saw Chen Pengwei take out a jade plate from the neckline, which was smaller than Lan Qing's, and on top was a golden dragon surrounded by the word "Qing". After Xiao Yi knew about the relationship between Lan Qing and Chen Pengwei last night, he thought that this jade plate might have something to do with Chen Da, it was originally just a guess, but now it has been confirmed, and he only feels that he has some more unspeakable feelings for Chen Pengwei, and he may have a deeper affection for Lan Qing than he and Wen Hao realized.
Looking up at Gu Wenhao, Gu Wenhao nodded slightly. He always knew that Chen Da had a jade plate on his body, and he never wanted to show it to others, thinking that it was handed down from his family, but he never expected it to be a pair with Lan Qing.
"Qingqing is an orphan, her master doesn't know where she was born, so he used the day he picked her up as her birthday, I didn't know at first, I gave her a birthday every year, and I didn't see her very happy, I was still strange. When she was 14 years old, she told me that it wasn't her birthday. I told her that from next year, she will be 15 years old, and she will only really become an adult in ancient times, and my birthday will be her birthday every year after that, and the two of us will spend it together, and she is very happy. When I was 15 years old, I was 21 years old, the two of us lived together, I ordered this jade plate to give her, told her that she was not allowed to take it off in the future, she said okay, and then she wanted to change with me, she took mine, let me take her, said that this way the two of them can always be with each other. ”
Chen Pengwei's deep voice spoke slowly, and there was one more sentence he didn't tell the two, at that time, in addition to telling Qingqing that he was not allowed to take it off, he also told her that this was a token of love between the two. Although Qingqing was shy, she also nodded and agreed, and said that the token was to be exchanged, so the two of them would change it and wear it. On that day, he hugged her, and the two kissed for the first time under the hibiscus tree in the courtyard.
The bell rang eleven times slowly, Xiao Yi patted Gu Wenhao and stood up, "Brother Chen, that's pretty much all I know, if you think of anything else, I'll tell you, I'll go up and wash my face first." ”
Chen Pengwei nodded, "Thank you." ”
Xiao Yi shook her head with a smile, took two steps forward, suddenly paused, looked back at Chen Pengwei, and said with some hesitation, "Brother Chen, is your birthday September 9th?" ”
Chen Pengwei nodded, and looked at her with some confusion with Gu Wenhao.
“…… Lan Qing's date of birth on her passport is June 17, but she keeps saying that her birthday is September 9. After Xiao Yi finished speaking, she suddenly felt a little stunned, for the first time she understood where the powerlessness that Mu Yi once said came from, it was a girl who was even more stupid than herself. The two men who no longer looked at the hall turned and went upstairs.
Chen Pengwei was stunned for a long time, and slowly exhaled, Gu Wenhao sat opposite and silently refilled a cup of tea for him, Chen Pengwei picked it up and raised his head, put the empty cup back on the table, looked at Gu Wenhao, and smiled, "Thank you Xiaoyi for me, I'll go first." As he spoke, he stood up.
Gu Wenhao got up, listened to his words, took a step forward, and looked at Chen Da, "Big brother sit for a while." ”
"No need, it's almost time, I'll go straight back to the team." Chen Pengwei shook his head with a smile and walked to the door by himself.
"Big brother......" Gu Wenhao shouted with some disapproval.
Chen Pengwei knew his worries, turned around and patted Gu Wenhao's shoulder gently, "Okay, I know it in my heart...... Actually, this result is much better than I imagined, although she forgot me, but still remembers a lot, I only have gratitude, after all, I didn't take care of her, and I should also thank Mu Yi. Thank you Xiaoyi for me and let her not worry. Chen Pengwei knew that there were some words just now, especially the words later, according to Xiaoyi's personality, he would not actually tell him, and he would help him by saying it.
Sending Chen Pengwei out, as soon as he returned to the hall, he saw Xiao Yi coming down the stairs, her eyes were still a little red, Gu Wenhao stepped forward and sat back on the sofa with her, and helped her cut her hair.
"How did he go?"
"I'm going back to work in the afternoon, it's almost time." Gu Wenhao's official answer, looking at Xiao Yi wrinkled his little nose with disdain, with a look of disbelief, he smiled and knocked his smooth forehead twice, "Knowingly asked." ”
Xiao Yi pursed her lips and "hummed" but didn't say anything more.
"Big brother has said it several times, let me thank you for him."
"Thank me for what I did, I didn't help him." Xiao Yi nestled in Gu Wenhao's arms and played with his fingers.
"You also said that you are going to blow up your hair with me in the morning, you are not angry, why do you tell others what you should say and what you shouldn't say in this moment's work?"
"I'm helping Lan Qing, not helping him." Having said that, thinking about what he just said, he sighed leisurely, "I don't know if it's right to tell Brother Chen about those things now, I can see that Brother Chen is not the same to Lan Qing, but I'm afraid that after listening to my words, Brother Chen hopes too much, and I'm afraid that he will be disappointed when the time comes." ”
"Silly," Gu Wenhao poked Xiao Yi's head with a smile, saw Xiao Yi turn his head to glare at him, and gently reached out to rub it for her, "Don't think so much, the eldest brother is not one of those stupid boys who have nothing to do in their 20s, he will only rush forward." He has his own judgment and will not rejoice or sorrow because of your words. Whether there is hope or not, he is bound to win Lan Qing, and he will also take care of your friend Mu Yi. ”
