Chapter 25: The End of Not Telling the Truth
Rumors are often like hot buns that have just come out of the cage, and there is always a time when the heat will dissipate.
This Saturday, Lin Shen and Ye Yao came over to visit Jiang Xiaomian together.
As soon as Lin Shen came, he expressed various repentances and condolences:
"Xiaomian, I'm sorry, if I didn't propose the idea of going to the café to do odd jobs, you wouldn't be like this, that bad customer was offended, it can be regarded as a little comfort in my heart, you get better soon and the rain will be clear!"
"The doctor said that as long as you cooperate well, the recovery period will be fast!"
"Xiaomian, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you every time in the future!"
……
Jiang Xiaomian smiled and touched her hand and said, "How can I worry about you, life always has to bear blessings and misfortunes." ”
"Xiaomian, I'll peel a fruit for you to eat!" Ye Yao picked up the fruit knife as he spoke, and neatly peeled a tender persimmon.
This voice made Jiang Xiaomian turn his head to the source of the sound carefully, and there was some surprise in his words, "Is Ye Miao also there?" ”
The laugh replied to her: "Yes, I'm here too!" ”
Jiang Xiaomian thought to herself that Ye Yao was a little cold and sharp on weekdays, but Ye Miao was the opposite, smiling and talking, although she had only known her for a little time, she had the affection to visit, and her sincere heart was not like some people who only had the kung fu of superficial behavior.
Hearing Jiang Xiaomian ask, Lin Shen patted his head and hurriedly said, "Xiaomian, I was so chattering as soon as I came just now, I forgot to tell you that Ye Miao was also there." ”
"Ye Yao, thank you." Jiang Xiaomian blinked her invisible eyes and thanked her.
"Alumni, it's right to take care of each other, na, it's done!" Ye Xiao said and handed Jiang Xiaomian a piece of persimmon.
There is no need to talk much about the gossip in the ward, and then mention Xiang Dongyang, he promised Jiang Xiaomian last time that something would be handed over to her.
He opened Jiang Xiaomian's drawing book.
Out of a man's selfishness in love, Xiang Dongyang originally planned to find the picture book, and never confessed to Jiang Xiaomian from now on, so that it would completely disappear from her life.
That day, under the different kapok, he heard what Jiang Xiaomian said to Xian Xinchen, but Xiang Dongyang inexplicably felt a wall of thought in his heart, and he realized that his behavior of hiding the painting book was shameful and ridiculous.
It is a shame that this picture book is hidden in his own hands, like a stolen object;
It's ridiculous that he's smart.
thought that Jiang Xiaomian would not be able to find the painting book, and his thoughts would be broken, but as a result, the truth was often the opposite.
Return the lost property to others, so that the lost things will not be remembered by the owner for a lifetime.
Xiang Dongyang cleaned up and went out of the house with the painting book.
On the side of the school, Jiang Wanguan was stopping Han Feiran: "Otherwise, do you want to see Jiang Xiaomian?" ”
Han Feiran nodded.
Jiang Wanwan snorted, pulled him back with force, and said angrily: "Don't be stupid, don't you see that Jiang Xiaomian cares more about Xiang Dongyang?" Otherwise, who did she enter the hospital for this time, I have already seen Xiang Dongyang out of the school gate, and when you go at this time, you can only see the two of them like glue! ”
The words "like glue like paint" fell loudly and harshly.
Han Feiran began to be disgusted with Jiang Wanguan like this, she has always been gentle and rarely loses her temper like this, and the reason for her tantrum is to prevent herself from visiting patients in the hospital.
For this reason, Han Feiran couldn't look directly at the person in front of him, so he reluctantly turned his head to a 45° angle, rolled his eyes, and exhaled hard.
Han Feiran exposed a contemptuous attitude, which made Jiang Wanwan's face collapse and let her mouth go. Even if you can't persuade him, you can at least take a step back.
"Then you go later, I'm afraid you will have a conflict with Xiang Dongyang." Jiang Wanguan can only go so far, she doesn't go with her, just because she doesn't want to meet the Xian family.
"I'm leaving."
Han Feiran threw his hand away, and his attitude of insisting on going his own way ended up with Jiang Wanguan standing in place to bear it.
Outside the entrance of the hospital.
Sure enough, enemies will always meet, and rivals will always meet.
Han Feiran got out of the car and came to the gate of the hospital, just in time to see Xiang Dongyang passing by with a book.
It's just that Xiang Dongyang walked attentively and didn't see Han Feiran.
"Oops!"
The sound of falling was accompanied by a scream.
The old lady fell to the ground unexpectedly with a bag of apples on crutches, and suddenly the fruit in the bag ran all over the ground like a thief who had escaped from prison.
The old lady was so anxious that she cried out: "My fruit, fruit!" ”
Xiang Dongyang saw this scene, how could he turn a blind eye, he put aside the painting book in his hand, hurriedly helped the old lady up, helped her pick up the apple, and asked with concern: "Old man, are you okay?" ”
"Thank you, young man, I'm old and my body is not flexible!" The old lady stood on crutches, her face kind, and her words of thanks were thick and old.
A bag of strange heavy fruits, the Buddha wants to send to the west, and the good people have to do it to the end.
"Old man, are you going to the hospital? I'll be with you!"
The old lady waved her hand, shook her head and pointed at Xiang Dongyang: "I don't go to the hospital, I go to the Shifting Flower Hotel, where my daughter works!" No, I picked a little fruit from the countryside today and wanted to send it to her! ”
Xiang Dongyang followed the direction pointed by the old lady, there was indeed a restaurant next to the hospital, and he pointed to it and asked, "Is that a hotel?" ”
"Exactly!" The old lady laughed.
A short distance, only a few dozen steps away, Xiang Dongyang put the painting book on the stone bench next to him, lifted the fruit, and helped the old lady to walk.
"Thank you so much!" The old lady was grateful, but her steps were still a little limping, which should be because she had just been fallen.
Xiang Dongyang only told her to rub her legs and feet when she went back, rub some safflower oil, and look away from the lonely painting book behind her.
Sent the old lady to the hotel, and when Xiang Dongyang turned back to get the picture book, the picture book was completely gone!
His eyes widened in fright: "I obviously put it here just now!" ”
"How could it be, how could it be gone in less than five minutes?"
…
Xiang Dongyang's anxious eyes looked around and searched.
A sanitation aunt walked by, he wiped his sweat and ran to ask: "Auntie, did you just pick up a picture book here and return it to me, it's not garbage." ”
How do you know that the sanitation aunt looked at a loss: "Young man, what did you say?" ”
Xiang Dongyang pointed to the stone bench and repeated: "It's the picture book I just put on this stool, a thick one." ”
The sanitation aunt shook her head: "I just came to sweep this land, I didn't see it!" After saying that, he just waved his broom and continued the work at hand.
Xiang Dongyang was afraid that she didn't understand what she meant, so she opened the garbage truck and took a look, there were just some fallen leaves and a small amount of garbage inside, how could there be a shadow of a picture book.
"How could it be, it can't be!"
Xiang Dongyang looked around, and there were no other sanitation workers.
He hurriedly asked the security guard and went to the monitoring room.
As a result, it was also a disappointment.
"I'm sorry, sir, because the area where you lost the book is in a blind spot, so you can't find it."
The staff's words suddenly denied Xiang Dongyang's only remaining hope, and he insisted on repeating it, but there was really no news to check.
Returning to the place where the incident occurred, he thought to himself that even if he was picked up by a passer-by or child, it would be a needle from a haystack, and there was nowhere to find it.
When he was anxious, Han Feiran appeared in front of Xiang Dongyang with a schoolbag on his back, with a pair of horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, like looking at an enemy.
Han Feiran asked him coldly, "What are you doing?" Why did I see you coming out of the monitoring room? ”
After a momentary questioning, Xiang Dongyang didn't seize the time to think too much, "I just lost a small thing." ”
"What did you lose?" Han Feiran's questioning continued to prolong his life.
"Nothing, just a wallet."
After Han Feiran heard this, the amplitude of the corners of his lips sneered: "Isn't Xiang Gongzi a big family?" If you lose a wallet, you will be in such a hurry, as for sweating profusely? ”
Xiang Dongyang pinched a handful of sweat and rounded up the lie: "It's just that I don't have the money to take the car back for a while!" ”
Han Feiran stared at this person, thinking to himself that they used to be very good brothers, if Xiang Dongyang was willing to confess the truth, maybe he would take out the picture book with Jiang Xiaomian's name written on it from his schoolbag and return it to him.
One was stunned, the other was angry, standing in place, no one told the truth.
Xiang Dongyang was stunned, Han Feiran was angry, and the anger that was about to be ignited was broken by Lin Shen.
"Hey, why are you two standing here and not going in?"
When I looked over, it turned out that Lin Shen and Ye Miao were helping Jiang Xiaomian out and walking around.
Hearing Lin Shen greet someone, Jiang Xiaomian stretched out his hand to explore, but he didn't answer for a long time, so he asked, "Lin Shen, is Brother Xinchen here?" ”
Han Feiran saw Jiang Xiaomian's blank eyes, beyond his expectations, and walked with incredible steps, hoping that Jiang Xiaomian would take a look at him so as to confirm that his conjecture was wrong.
But when he approached Jiang Xiaomian, he was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.
Everyone was also silent with Han Feiran's expression.
Jiang Xiaomian didn't hear the answer, patted Lin Shen's hand again and asked, "Lin Shen, why didn't you tell me who was coming?" ”
"Xiaomian, how can your eyes be like this?"
Han Feiran asked, which made Jiang Xiaomian's face become solemn, but she still pretended to be happy slightly: "It's okay, they all said it would be fine." ”
Lin Shen hurriedly gave Han Feiran a look, put his hand on Xiang Dongyang and Han Feiran's shoulders and turned his back, and whispered: "Xiaomian is already like this, you two don't fight in front of Xiaomian, otherwise I will kill you all at the entrance of the hospital!" ”
Han Feiran glanced at Xiang Dongyang.
Lin Shen raised his hand and slapped him falsely and threatened: "The surname Han, especially you, did you hear it!" ”
Ye Miao eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: "It's lively now, here Fei Ran and Dongyang, the four of us have a table of mahjong, and the five of us should also have some fun!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Shen and motioned for her to help.
Lin Shen saw that there was a stone table and chair standing next to him, just five seats, so he helped Xiaomian over and sat down, and said happily: "There are four of us, one of us tells a joke, let Xiaomian be the referee, if anyone is not funny, everyone will punish him for lunch today, how about it?" ”
Han Feiran and Xiang Dongyang didn't say anything, and Ye Yao hurriedly responded to what Lin Shen said: "This is the most suitable!" ”
After everyone sat down around the stone table, Lin Shen first raised his voice and spoke with gestures: "I'll tell you a joke, it's about Lu Xiaoguo, na!" After the event that day, Yang Li and I packed up the equipment and moved back to the storage room, and then Lu Xiaoguo was late. I got angry and asked him, 'Stinky pot lid, where did you go, did you go lazy!' 'Guess what Lu Xiaoguo answered me? ”
Jiang Xiaomian was waiting and listening, and Ye Xiao hurriedly asked, "How did he answer you?" ”
Lin Shen snorted, and before he could answer, he fell on his stomach first, and then said after a while: "He went to 'run' and came back!" ”
Shocked, Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what did Lu Xiaoguo do to run away?" ”
Lin Shen grinned and added: "I laughed wildly with Yang Li there, and I also asked him, 'Lu Xiaoguo, what did you do and need to run away!' It turned out that he had made a slip of the tongue all of a sudden, and he was going to say 'running', but the exit became 'running'. Later, because of this slip of the tongue, we all laughed at Lu Xiaoguo when we saw him, 'Minister Lu, why did you run away again!' ’”
Jiang Xiaomian also smiled after hearing this, only Xiang Dongyang and Han Feiran squeezed out a few laughs, which was strange and awkward.
Ye Miao said with a smile: "When I came here, I happened to swipe a short joke when I was sitting in the car: a person accidentally fell from the teaching building and announced that he died on the spot, causing a large group of people to surround the scene. When everyone was sorting out his belongings, they saw an unread text message from his wife on the deceased's mobile phone five minutes ago, and when they opened it, the text message read, 'Husband, go and see, someone is going to jump off the school building!' ’。 ”
Ye Yao's cold joke, no one seems to laugh.
Jiang Xiaomian's face changed slightly when she heard the word jumping off the building.
And Lin Shen shook his body and smacked his lips, "Oh, this joke is so cold!" ”
Han Feiran was stunned there, Lin Shen and Ye Miao kept urging him: "Hurry up, it's your turn!"
"I... I haven't figured it out yet..."Han Feiran hesitated.
Lin Shen turned to look at Dong Yang again, and Xiang Dong Yang was also confused, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that the two of them had the same expression and didn't know how to solve the siege, Ye Miao pointed his hand and smiled: "Then you will lose, two handsome guys have a treat, we are not shallow!"
Jiang Xiaomian listened to them laughing on the side, and it was inconvenient for him, so he said, "You go and eat, I won't make trouble." When he finished saying that he was about to get up, Han Feiran and Xiang Dongyang hurriedly went to help.
One helped Xiaomian's left arm, and the other helped Xiaomian's right arm, and the scene stopped abruptly.
Seeing this, Lin Shen resolved the embarrassment, and went to help Jiang Xiaomian himself, "Then let's wait for Brother Xian to come before leaving!" After saying that, he took Jiang Xiaomian into the hospital.
When Xian Xinchen came, he saw that the four classmates were next to Jiang Xiaomian, and came to greet him with a smile: "Everyone is here!"
"Brother Xian is good!" Lin Shen opened his mouth and asked a good word.
"Good!"
Xian Xinchen put down the food box, opened the lid of the box and stirred the heat and said to Jiang Xiaomian: "This is the old chicken soup stewed by Aunt Bai, Xiaomian, you have to finish drinking it!"
The aroma of the soup wafted through the ward.
Lin Shen snorted and sniffed the fragrance, "This fragrance provokes us to disperse, and the hungry souls are all hooked!"
When he left, he saw Xiang Dongyang and Han Feiran standing woodenly, so he pulled the two of them together.
Jiang Xiaomian remembered that Xiang Dongyang had said that she had something to give her today, and everyone was there when she wanted to ask, and seeing that he didn't take any action, she didn't take it seriously and didn't bother to ask him.
After a while, only Xian Xinchen's voice remained in his ears, and he said, "Xiaomian, you take a rest after eating, the doctor said to rest more." ”
At this time, Jiang Xiaomian noticed that his voice was hoarse, touched his hand and asked, "What's wrong with you, do you have a cold?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable in the throat."
"Then you have to take care of yourself." If Jiang Xiaomian once cared, her love was always undiminished.
Xian Xinchen asked her, "Where do you want to go after waking up in the afternoon, I'll take you there."
"Then I want to go to Lake Baekdu."
When Jiang Xiaomian said this, he was full of happiness and waiting for an answer.
Xian Xinchen still hid some hesitation between his eyebrows, and stopped covering the quilt for her before continuing, "Okay, then you can sleep obediently." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Xiaomian closed her eyes with satisfaction and smiled with a calm expression.
Han Feiran returned home and took out the picture book from his schoolbag to read.
There is Jiang Xiaomian's autograph on the front page, and the characters sketched on the back pages, but anyone who has seen Xian Xinchen can guess it.
"He? Xian Xinchen? ”
Han Feiran carefully flipped through it, there were at least more than 100 sheets of thick sketch paper, and the date left by each sketch was ten years ago at the earliest, with yellowed paper sandwiched between black and white, and the last few pages were also three years ago.
Whoever turns over the book will see not only the sketches, but also the author's intentions, which leap on the page.
The man's heart should be strong, and it turned into a wisp of resentment and spread, wantonly swelling the whole heart, making Han Feiran's breathing painful and uncomfortable, making him not to be outdone on the edge of a cliff called "self-esteem", and struggled to the death: "Xiang Dongyang knew from the beginning that Jiang Xiaomian was his 'sketch girl', and he had been deceiving me and hiding it from me!" I questioned him several times, but he never told me... Why? Why did God tease me like this! Xiang Dongyang is just reincarnated well, but God is helping him everywhere! Even Jiang Xiaomian, he has to take the lead! ”
The hand that clenched his fist and hammered it the table, almost no bleeding, Han Feiran's distorted face was so ugly and ugly.
"Otherwise, why don't you say hello to your mother when you come back!"
Han's mother said and pushed Han Feiran's room open, seeing him in a daze at the picture book on the table.
When Han Feiran saw his mother coming, he hurriedly closed the painting book and put it away, and asked angrily, "Mom, why didn't you push the door open!"
This sentence was so fierce that Han's mother was startled, and the rare anger in her son's tone made her dare not ask more, so she said along with the matter: "Since you're back, let's eat, and I still have some leftovers at noon." ”
"Okay."
Han Feiran replied slowly before leaving the door of the room.
