Chapter 194: Across the Sea
In the next few days, Mei Ruojun couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, and under Jiawei's persuasion, in order to meet Ruikang again in a healthy and beautiful way, she forced herself to eat and sleep.
With the long road to the south, Mei Ruojun's heart slowly returned to twenty years ago, her heart was heavy but with a hint of excitement, after all, she was about to reunite with him again.
When I arrived in Shanghai, I didn't stop, and according to the original plan, I directly changed to the train from Shanghai to Guangzhou, and Xu Ziyan was already waiting in the first-class carriage.
Cheng Jiawei and Xu Ziyan slapped each other's palms, just like when they were in college, their friendship is no longer something that can be described in words, all understanding, tacit understanding, and trust are in plain sight.
Jiawei admires the friendship between Xu Ziyan and Zhou Ruikang who put aside political differences, especially since neither of them changed their original intentions because of war, politics, and life.
Ruojun saw their sincere friendship, and felt heartfelt comfort for Ruikang in his heart, Ruikang was lucky to have these sincere friends around him.
Under Xu Ziyan's arrangement, Ruojun finally successfully entered Hong Kong under the name of "Hu Xiaofen". And Cheng Jiaqi and Liang Zhihong on the Hong Kong side have already arranged everything, and even Liang Zhihong has already passed through some friends in the business field and greeted the relevant border officials, so Ruojun passed smoothly without being questioned.
Ruojun was nervous and passed the checkpoint with her heart, Cheng Jiaqi and Liang Zhihong immediately pulled her into the car and went home.
When Jiaqi saw Ruojun, her heart was full of mixed feelings, the past was heavy, and the two of them were just in tears, relatively speechless.
Liang Zhihong shook his head and brought them a glass of fruit wine, Ruojun really needed some alcohol to relax and drink the wine in one gulp.
Jiaqi wiped away her tears and smiled: "Drink slowly, although this wine is sweet, but if you drink it violently, you will get drunk." ”
"I want to be drunk for a long time." Ruojun said.
Jiaqi held her hand and said: "Ruojun, for so long, I have always owed you a 'sorry', if it weren't for my obsession back then, I wouldn't have made you and Ruikang so regretful, and Ruikang wouldn't have been worried to this point." Jiaqi couldn't help crying sadly.
Ruojun shook his head: "It's me who is sorry for you, it's me who hurt you." Why do you apologize to me? ”
Ruojun also held Jiaqi's hand, the two looked at each other, they both had a feeling of a thousand sails, after twenty years of emotional entanglements, suddenly looking back, both of them are already nearly forty years old, and they have their own destinations, what else can't they let go?
Cheng Jiaqi and Mei Ruojun hugged each other again. Yes, love is very beautiful and gorgeous, but there is not only love in this world, but also friendship, and some other things.
Jiaqi took Ruojun to visit her home, arranged the most comfortable room for her, let her have a good rest, and the next day Jiaqi took Ruojun to buy a lot of new clothes, jewelry, perm her hair, and dress Ruojun up.
"Ruojun, God is really good to you, after so many years, you are still as beautiful as ever." Jiaqi pulled her in surprise: "Look, I have fine lines at the corners of my eyes, but you still look like you are eighteen years old." ”
Ruojun looked in the mirror wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam with dark blue jacquard trim and mid-heeled leather shoes of the same color, as if he was a different person. Some embarrassed people said, "I don't even know myself anymore." ”
"You're so good-looking, Ruojun, come and wear this." Saying that, Jiaqi gave Ruojun another pair of beautiful sapphire and diamond earrings.
Ruojun, who was dressed properly, dragged her out of the room, which suddenly made Liang Zhihong's eyes light up and said with a smile: "Wow! Jiaqi always told me that you are beautiful like a fairy, and it seems that you really live up to your reputation. ”
Jiaqi smiled and squinted at him: "Alas, are you going to change your mind?" ”
Liang Zhihong took her to his side and said: "I am a vulgar person, a mortal, a fairy, I dare not be delusional, I can marry you in this life, I have burned incense and kowtowed every day, and I will never dare to think of anything wrong!" I swear! I only love Cheng Jiaqi in this life. He cocked up his finger and swore to God.
Jiaqi smiled sweetly, pinched his face and said, "It's useless if you think about it, she, God specially created it for Zhou Ruikang." ”
Ruojun said this sentence was very uncomfortable in his heart, standing there hanging his head and looking at the small thin gold ring on his ring finger, and his heart rose and fell one after another.
That night, she wrote a letter to Shu Zhi, telling him that she had arrived in Hong Kong, and poured out her thoughts and attachments.
Jiaqi pushed the door in, and the two sat on the windowsill, chatting on their knees.
"Ruojun, I'm sorry, I forgot that you were married just now."
Ruojun shook his head and sighed.
Jiaqi paused, licked her lips and asked, "Tell me, do you still love Ruikang?" ”
Ruojun looked at the night outside the window, there was no moon tonight, only a few stars twinkling in the night sky, and her heart was very confused.
"I don't know how to describe it. My love for Shu Zhi is so real. We go to work together, get off work together, buy groceries together, cook together, chat about trivial things in life together, play with children together, Shu Zhi makes me feel that I am a real person living on earth. And the love for Ruikang is like a brilliant firework, a fairy tale, a dream, which I pursue but cannot obtain. He was like a prince, like an illusory image, sometimes near and sometimes far away, sometimes real, sometimes ethereal, and I never matched him. ”
"I understand this, because I have experienced all this myself, Liang Zhihong made me understand that love is to intersect with life, Ruikang is a person who lives in ideals and dreams, he is unrealistic, but, Ruojun, he really loves you, for you he can not want everything, even life." Jiaqi sighed, patted her hand and said, "Maybe he intentionally or unintentionally wants to end his life to fulfill the happiness of you and Shu Zhi." ”
"If I told you that I could have given up everything for him, would you believe it?" Ruojun's face suddenly showed an elusive expression, it was a strange light and determination, "I won't let him die, if he dies I won't live alone." Ruojun looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and said.
This made Jiaqi very puzzled: "But you just said that you love Shu Zhi." ”
Mei Ruojun sighed, shook her head, and did not answer her question directly, as if talking to herself, she looked at the night sky and muttered: "My life with Ruikang is connected, if he lives, I can also live, no matter who my body is with, no matter who my heart is with, as long as I know that he is alive, I have the courage to live." But my soul is with him. I can't accept that he is gone, and if he does die, my world will not exist, and my body and mind will disappear together. Mei Ruojun clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, looked at the night sky and said in a daze.
Jiaqi looked at Mei Ruojun in surprise, she couldn't understand Ruojun's words, and was even frightened by the determination on Ruojun's face, under her supple and well-behaved appearance, it seemed that there was hot lava flowing, with unparalleled power, what kind of power this was, Jiaqi couldn't understand.
Three days later, Jiaqi and Mei Ruojun boarded an ocean ferry to the United Kingdom.
On the deck, Ruojun greeted the sea breeze and said, "Jiaqi, your husband is a good man, an excellent man. I actually asked you to come with me. ”
"Yes" Jiaqi smiled faintly: "Anyway, Ruikang is my friend, he is dying now, how can I not go to take a look, besides, you are not familiar with life, and you don't understand the language." ”
Ruojun looked at the churning foaming water, pondered for a moment and turned his head to look at Jiaqi: "I want to learn English and teach me." ”
Jiaqi nodded, so the two of them were at sea for more than a month, practicing English every day, Jiaqi taught very seriously, Ruojun was very serious about learning, memorizing words, practicing grammar, and when she got off the boat a month later, she was already able to speak simple conversations.

In the hospital, Song Yuanyang was pacing back and forth in Zhou Ruikang's ward, Zhou Ruikang was weak and pale on the hospital bed, waved his hand and said, "I don't want to stay here, I want to go back, I want to go back to see those roses and merlin." A heart-warming cough.
"Oh, there are gardeners who will take care of those things, people are more professional than you, and they take care of them better than you, so you will stay here honestly for me." Song Yuanyang was anxious to reach into his pocket and take out a cigarette, but when he thought about it, Zhou Ruikang couldn't touch any smoke and dust.
"I'm going to be discharged! I'm going to be discharged! I want to go home! I want to go home! Ruikang kept slapping the bed and shouting: "How unreasonable, is this a prison?" Am I a prisoner? Why can't I go home? He was so angry that he couldn't breathe.
Song Yuanyang was so troubled by him that he had no choice but to run out of the ward, find the doctor, and discuss with the doctor. The doctor just shook his head: "His current condition, if he goes home, it can only keep getting worse, his mood is too bad, and his will to survive is very weak." And he didn't cooperate with the treatment at all, and I think he seems to have a tendency to die. How so? Isn't there anyone or anything that can make him happier and more positive? Does he have no wife, no children, no relatives? ”
"If he had, he probably wouldn't have gotten this disease." Song Yuanyang just sighed and shook his head.
"It's a pity, well, since he insists on being discharged, let him go back first, and you try to find a way to make him happy. If he has any wishes, try to accommodate them. ”
The doctor shook his head and left. Song Yuanyang had no choice but to go through the discharge procedures for Ruikang and send him home.
Song Yuanyang was busy with business and couldn't take care of him all the time, so he could only let his wife Helen come to see him often, and invited a few more experienced nurses and servants to watch.
But Zhou Ruikang took it upon himself to fire those people. Song Yuanyang really had no choice, and he could only torture himself with him.
……
When Song Yuanyang received a call from Cheng Jiaqi early in the morning, he was almost happier than the birth of his child, he held the phone, quickly copied down an address on the paper, and after hanging up the phone, he threw the pen in his hand excitedly, took the address, and couldn't help laughing, causing Helen on the side to look at him inexplicably: "Honey, what's wrong with you?" ”
Song Yuanyang picked up the coat on the hanger and laughed: "My dear, let me tell you, we will soon witness a miracle, believe it or not, this is a miracle of God, oh no, it is a miracle of love, do you believe it or not?" Hahaha! ”
"Really? Then I'm going to witness it, too. ”
He smiled as he instructed the driver to prepare the car. He turned around and kissed his wife on the cheek and said, "You go to Ruikang's house right now, show him to me, and don't let him run around." Let's witness the miracle together this afternoon! Ha ha! As he spoke, he put on his coat and walked out.
