After the alarm clock rang three times, Wen Ning woke up in a daze, stared at the quilt with his eyes and slowed down for a long time, before he struggled to sit up, put on a nightgown, got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Looking at the pale and haggard self in the mirror, Wen Ning was stunned for a while, it has been three days since she came back from the airport that day, and she has been suffering from insomnia, partly because of jet lag, and partly, even she herself doesn't want to admit that it is because of Xu Jiangcheng.

After that day, Xu Jiangcheng seemed to really listen to her words, and there was no movement, if it weren't for the bruise on his forehead hitting the back seat of the taxi that day that day had not dissipated, Wen Ning even suspected that seeing him that day was just a dream.

It took her five years to force herself to forget all the past, but the appearance of Xu Jiangcheng made all her five years of self-deception efforts in vain...... She really couldn't imagine how much effort she had to make to break out of this strange circle.

Thinking of this, she felt irritated for a while, so she simply turned on the faucet, bowed a handful of cold water, and patted her face to make herself look better.

Although it was in vain, she still had to cheer up, and just like this, she heard the mobile phone ringing outside, she frowned, picked up the towel on the side and wiped her face, and then walked out unhurriedly.

The call was from Mrs. Wen, Wen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then picked up the phone and picked it up: "Hey, Mom." ”

Hearing Wen Ning's slightly tired voice, Mrs. Wen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you sleep well?" It doesn't sound like much energy. ”

"It's okay, it's the cause of jet lag." Mrs. Wen's character belongs to breaking the casserole and asking to the end, Wen Ning was worried that if she continued to ask, she would shake out the things she had seen Xu Jiangcheng, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, didn't you say that you would come back today?" What time does it arrive? ”

Speaking of this, I heard Mrs. Wen a little unhappy on the phone: "Don't mention it, it's all your father's fault, I said hurry up and go home for a reunion, but yesterday he promised an old friend to go to the art exhibition, I'm afraid it will be delayed for two more days." You can't even go back to your Uncle Zhou's birthday banquet tomorrow, I think, you can go for me and your father. ”

Wen Ning said "En", and some disappointment crossed in his heart, but when he thought of his father's hobby, he could only smile and comfort Mrs. Wen, who was not very happy: "It's okay, Dad rarely sees those old friends, you can rest assured, Uncle Zhou's birthday banquet, I will go." ”

Mrs. Wen also had no choice, so she asked about the birthday ceremony, remembered something, and reminded Wen Ning: "Don't forget, the Chinese medicine doctor I made an appointment with you is at three o'clock this afternoon." ”

Wen Ning's hand holding the phone paused, and only answered in a low voice after half a ring. Mrs. Wen sensed her emotions and said with some distress: "This doctor was introduced by your father's former subordinates, and it is said that he looks very good, don't be afraid, go and see first." It's really not good, Mom and Dad will find a way. ”

Wen Ning nodded subconsciously, but did not speak again, and Mrs. Wen had no choice, so she could only sigh in the end.

Hung up the phone, Wen Ning sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, the room was quiet and could only hear the sound of the clock swinging, a slight tingling pain was also crawling up her legs, she lowered her head, staring at her legs exposed outside her nightdress, the ugly scar like a centipede on her left leg was particularly dazzling, as if laughing at her original childishness.

I don't know why, Wen Ning suddenly remembered that in the car that day, Xu Jiangcheng said that she was taking revenge on him, but she felt that she was actually taking revenge on herself.

Rubbing her aching legs weakly, after a long time, she stood up and walked into the bathroom again, this world, in the end, survival is the most important thing.

By the time Wen Ning had completely cleaned up, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and the meal prepared by the hourly worker at noon was still warm in the kitchen, but she had no appetite, and she was afraid of delaying the appointment time, so she didn't eat at all.

Fortunately, the road from Wen's house to the hospital is not too far, and when Wen Ning arrived, he was a little earlier. The nurse at the front desk read her appointment card and took her directly to the TCM internal medicine clinic.

Wen Ning was in very good health when she was a child, almost never got sick, and went to the Western Hospital less, let alone Chinese medicine, so in a sense, this is also her first time coming to the Chinese Medicine Hospital, in addition to feeling a little cold, she feels very good, especially the fragrance of medicine in the air, which is always very comfortable.

Seeing her curiously looking around, the little nurse laughed, accosted her, and asked, "Is it your first time coming to the Chinese medicine hospital?" ”

Wen Ning coughed twice in embarrassment, touched his face, and said, "Am I acting too much like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden?" ”

The little nurse shook her head, walked to the door of an outpatient room, and said with a smile: "That's not true, it's just that you don't look like you know how to see Chinese medicine, well, it's here." With that, he walked in and said in a low voice, "Doctor Zhou, there is your patient." ”

Wen Ning glanced at it a little curiously, and saw a man who was writing something on the table with his head down, and when he heard the nurse speak, he didn't look up, but just answered and said in a deep voice: "Sit down first." ”

Although Wen Ning couldn't see his appearance clearly, she could feel that he was very young, and before she came, she always thought that the Chinese medicine doctor should be the kind of fairy wind and bone old man on TV, but she didn't expect it to be a young man. glanced at the name tag on the table, Zhou Zhe's two words, clean and neat.

After Wen Ning sat down, he raised his head, revealing a beautiful and sunny face, Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, then saw him look down and flip through the medical record again, frowned, and said, "Wen Ning, right?" ”

Wen Ning nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhou Zhe put down the medical record book, looked up at Wen Ning again, pushed over a small blue hand pillow, and said, "Check the pulse first." ”

Wen Ning submissively stretched out her hand, revealing her white and slender wrist, and felt his warm fingers touch her cold wrist, and she froze.

This made Zhou Zhe smile and said, "It's not for you to be punished, don't be nervous." ”

It was still a little embarrassing to be exposed, Wen Ning bit her lip and didn't dare to speak again

"The spleen is weak and the stomach is weak, and the heart is not enough yin......" He frowned, and glanced Wen Ning up and down again.

Wen Ning was a little weak by his look, laughed dryly, and asked, "Then what should I do?" “

Zhou Zhe flipped through the medical records, took a pen, sketched on the list, and replied, "Grab some medicine and drink it first, and adjust your physique." Your legs ......" Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at Wen Ning, and said, "Go to the acupuncture room in a while, I have to take another look." ”

As soon as Wen Ning heard the word acupuncture, her head was big, if there was anything she was afraid of since she was a child, it was acupuncture.

When she was young, she had a relatively serious cold, and the nurse who gave her the needle was new, and she was pricked five or six times in a row before she was pierced, but she didn't finish a bottle, and she ran out of the needle. Her little hands were swollen like steamed buns, and since then, she has been deeply disgusted with needles. As a last resort, she will never give an injection.

"When did your leg feel wrong?" Zhou Zhe asked Wen Ning while writing the medicine list, who was immersed in the fear of acupuncture and did not hear clearly. "Ahh “

The young doctor, putting down the pen in his hand, repeated word by word: "I ask you when you found out that something was wrong with your leg. ”

Wen Ning thought for a while and said honestly: "I had a car accident abroad three years ago, and the knee of my left leg was seriously injured, and I had surgery, but there was no problem at that time, and after about half a year, I began to find that my left leg was a little inflexible, and it would be accompanied by pain." At first, I thought it was not healed yet, but it wasn't until some time ago when I noticed that my left leg began to swell and the pain was unbearable, and I went to the hospital for a follow-up, and the doctor told me that my left leg might be necrosis. If it gets worse, it will need to be amputated. ”

Zhou Zhe pursed the corners of his lips, gently tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and said, "It's really a bit serious." ”

Hearing him say this, Wen Ning's heart sank, and he asked timidly, "That...... Is there no way out? “

"Not really." Zhou Zhe saw that Wen Ning's face was pale, and laughed: "You must know that those Western doctors are also very skilled, and they like to exaggerate when they have a small problem, although your leg is serious, it does not have to be amputated." There is still a way. Let's go, go to the acupuncture physiotherapy room, I'll show you. ”

Wen Ning's eyes lit up again, and he stood up with his hand on the table and wanted to thank him, but the action was too big and he accidentally knocked a photo frame on the table down.

She was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and quickly squatted down to pick it up: "I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to. ”

"It's okay." Zhou Zhe raised his eyebrows, he didn't mean to be angry, he walked around the table, bent down slightly and grabbed Wen Ning's arm, and said softly: "Be careful of the glass, I'll come." ”

Feeling the temperature coming from his arm, Wen Ning paused, but he didn't shirk it, and stood aside, his movements were very careful, as if to protect the photos in the photo frame from being scratched by the glass. Wen Ning was a little curious, and subconsciously glanced at the person in the photo, only to vaguely see that it was a pair of men and women snuggling tightly.

Zhou Zhe stood up and saw that Wen Ning was staring at the photo frame in his hand, but he didn't twist it, and said generously: "The photo is me and my ex-wife." ”

Wen Ning looked at him in surprise, but the latter smiled as if he was used to such eyes, put the photo frame back on the table, and said softly: "We met and got married when we were studying together abroad. ”

Wen Ning also knew that she was a little rude like this, she touched the bracelet on her wrist a little embarrassed, and subconsciously fell her eyes back on the photo, but when she saw the person in the photo clearly, she was stunned again.

Halfway, she glanced at Zhou Zhe again, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically, this world is still too small for her.

"Miss Wen......"

Wen Ning came back to her senses, the expression on her face had recovered freely, and she smiled: "I was just surprised, to be honest, I thought you were a college student who had just graduated." ”

"Really?" Zhou Zhe touched his face and said, "That's hard for you to trust me." ”
