48. Mom, I'm back
"Wake up," Qu Zheng left me, and then poked my forehead with his fingertips: "It's a little burnt, it still feels very good to kiss, it's better to ......"
He reached into my clothes, and I hissed before I opened my eyes.
It took a while to focus his eyes, and he had a new stubble on his jaw, which felt dusty.
"When did you come back?" I asked in a hoarse voice, feeling weak of breath.
"In the early hours of the morning, I got off the plane and went straight here," he poured me a glass of water and helped me up.
"Well, ah, what time is it today?" I'm not up to time.
"You slept for two days, my small yard, this time it was a coincidence, Nian Geng helped a lot, otherwise, I'm afraid of ......." Speaking of this, the look in his eyes dimmed, I raised the arm inserted in the infusion tube, gently stroked his hand, he backhanded carefully through my fingers, and my ten fingers clasped.
"Qu Xiran, he's okay, he picked me up! I'm fine, but I have a fever and cough. ”
"It's okay, the skin is traumatic, and there is a slight cold, grandma went abroad to recuperate, so he can toss and tear down the world and no one cares about him," Qu Zheng rarely talked closely, feeling really resentful.
"Boss, little Xu ....." At this time, at the half-open door, Nian Geng and Cheng Qiang came, and they were embarrassed to come in, I pushed Qu Zheng, and then he got up and opened the door.
They nodded to me and said a few words, didn't come in to sit down, handed Qu Zheng the food box, and then they went out to discuss something, and I was holding and eating delicious, not to mention that I was really hungry, and I was more and more like a foodie with them, because everyone was very skilled.
"Give you the phone," Qu Zheng handed it to me, I glanced at it and said, "I thought I lost it, and I was going to buy a new one," I took it in my hand and looked at it, and the shell was changed to a more princess style.
Qu Zheng scratched his head, "Nian Geng got it for you, he broke it a little when he got it, I was afraid that there were important things for you in it, so I found an acquaintance to fix it, and by the way, I changed it for you." ”
"Oh, thank him on my behalf," I turned on my phone, and just about to see if the handsome photos I took with my life were still there, the phone rang.
It turned out to be a call from my mother's college classmate, saying that my mother had broken her arm and had been sent back to the original city, and then asked me to go back quickly.
I didn't say anything about my fever and acute pneumonia, so I agreed to buy a train back in the afternoon.
After listening to the phone, Qu Zheng blamed me for being too careless.
I didn't get any better, and the pneumonia was prone to recurrence, so I begged him to buy me a ticket, so he agreed and took two days to accompany me back to the city.
I brought medicine and wore the thick coat that Qu Zheng helped me get, and went to say hello to Qu Xiran, but he was quite unhappy, saying that I abandoned him, and I said that there was an urgent matter at home and didn't tell him in detail, so I set out on the journey home.
When I arrived at the hospital, I asked Qu Zheng to wait for me at the coffee shop outside, and he happened to have something to discuss with the agent in the original city, so he made an appointment here, and I walked into the hospital.
Orthopedics is a department with a lot of patients in the hospital, and the corridors are full of people, so I walked in according to the ward I had told me before.
Because it was my mother's student who helped, I was admitted to the VIP ward, and I also needed to go through a security gate, and when I called someone to help me open the door, I accidentally bumped into someone.
The moment I looked up, I heard the man chanting his mother's name: "Yuan Xin..... I'm sorry I accidentally bumped into you," the other party looked elegant, with a faint bookish aura, but I saw a hint of familiarity on his face.
"It's okay, I bumped into you," I smiled, carrying my bag, and followed up with the nurse who opened the door for me.
When I entered the gate, I couldn't help but look back and see him standing there looking at me all the time, as if he wanted to say something and stopped.
My mother's classmate, Aunt Wu, saw me coming and greeted me, my mother had a broken arm and had surgery yesterday, and now she is in the recovery period, and she is still a little dazed with the buffer of infusion and anesthesia.
Originally, a bunch of their college classmates came to a sunset red trip, but in fact, it was coming to an end, and when they went to Kuncheng to climb the mountain, their mother accidentally broke a bone.
I always feel that it is not so simple, Ms. Yuan's life and work have always been meticulous and organized, and I often ridicule her for the state of old monks.
Could it be that it has something to do with the elegant uncle at the door, and when I think of Gu Yin's mother's gossip a few days ago, and Qu Xiran, my heart can't stop pounding.
Mom is a cold-hearted person, she is not very sociable, everyone thinks she is tall, plus she is good-looking and has strong business ability, it is easy to attract envy, so she has always been alone.
When Aunt Wu was still in college, her mother secretly funded her and became a fellow villager when she saw that she was in difficulty, and later they got to know each other, and they were also one of her rare close friends.
Aunt Wu called me aside and asked me why I didn't look very good, I also said on the phone before, I turned off my phone by mistake because of fever infusion.
She said that she can be in the original city for a while, her son is getting married, and she is just preparing for preparations, and she can help me take care of it these days.
I said don't bother, let her go back to rest quickly, because my mother is in this ward, and the family can't stay overnight at night and have special care, and I'm not tired.
Before she left, she couldn't help but tell me that it made me want to open up, saying that my father had been gone for so many years, and my mother was very lonely and so on.
I said, is there a sign of it, I have no objection, the elderly have their own life.
My aunt told me that they met my mother's first love in Kuncheng on this trip, and Aunt Wu didn't know how they broke up later, because my mother sent her graduate school to Kyoto for nearly three years.
But back then, everyone was very envious, she said that when my mother was fine, let me talk, I agreed, and the doubts in my heart deepened.
When my mother woke up again, she seemed a little frightened, and looked around before she regained her senses.
When he saw me, he was a little surprised and asked me, if I was busy with work, I would find a nanny, she had a broken arm, it was not a big deal, at most she would be discharged from the hospital in a week, and let the nanny help when the time came.
I probably told her about my resignation, and that my new job was easier, and I also talked about Gu Yin.
Let her know that it's better than let her always remember, pro, I also said that I have a new boyfriend, she didn't say anything, just said, when you're old, just find someone who is comfortable and can live a good life, don't care about looks, live in a dream, the tone is full of faint sadness, and intermittently nagging with me, after a few months, is it time to grow grass on the grave of our old Xu, he loves to drink soju when it snows, and he should sprinkle a bottle of liquor or something when it snows.
After a long time, I fell asleep.
I looked at her ear-length short hair mixed with a little white hair, and there were wrinkles in her fair skin, and I felt sad in my heart.
Since I was a child, she was strict with me, she never talked to me so much, and I even suspected that she was not my real mother, and I felt that she had a motherly love for her students, but she was a little bored with me.
Later, as I grew up, I also preferred to chat with Lao Xu, she has been very busy either with the graduating class or with the key class, and the discipline of me is to set the rules and regulations, send Lao Xu to supervise, and I am gradually estranged from her, so I am independent earlier, and my childhood personality is more like a boy.
I have the impression that she has never taken the initiative to buy me clothes since she was a child, and when I was a child, I always went on business trips to buy me beautiful clothes, or my grandparents sometimes bought them.
When she came out to work when she was older, she remembered that she was sending me money or something, and she herself wore it as simple as ever, and the color tone was limited to gray, white and black.
Time has buried a lot of things, and I have forgotten that my mother used to be a great beauty, and she is getting old.
***
In the evening, I took Qu Zheng home, there should be a friend of my mother at home to help clean up, I guess I will think that she is discharged from the hospital and comes back to live conveniently, very clean and fresh, I just open the window to disperse the air.
It also began to snow in the original castle, and the plants in the yard were covered with a thick layer of snow white, and I stood on the window of the balcony on the second floor and looked at the street lamp on the corner, the street lamp was still there, and the snow was flying in the dim light, but no one would look at my window there.
"The snow is so heavy, hurry up and enter the house, Xu Xiaoyuan," Qu Zheng called me after taking a shower and wiping his wet hair.
I was stunned for a moment, looking back at him, I felt like a teenager in the old days, I smiled, closed the window, stopped remembering, everything that should be looked forward, completely closed the past.
He and I were lying side by side on my one-meter-and-a-half-wide bed, which was still a little cramped, and it was a little cold because no one had lived in the room for a long time.
I leaned my head on his shoulder, and he looked at the tablet to do something, and the faint smell of roses inhaled into his nose, well, my shower gel, I laughed evilly, but he didn't use it at all.
A hand touched his shoulder, right in that position, which I had bitten.
"It's itchy, little courtyard, don't move, I still have some things to do," he looked at intently with one hand on the tablet, and grabbed my hand with the other hand and rubbed it back and forth.
"Okay, but you'll be ..... to please me in a moment."
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and felt that the fatigue and worries of the whole day were behind me, and if I were living in the moment, I should enjoy this quiet and warm time.
Unconsciously, I was a little confused, and I was woken up by a tingling: "What's the matter, Qu Zheng, go to sleep, go to sleep." ”
"No, I'm going to please you," his voice was languid and seductive, trapping me.
"Hmm," I continued to wander, enjoying the warmth.
Then when he was defenseless and intoxicated, he bit the same position on his other shoulder, and I took it more properly, and it hurt more than not.
He said sullenly: "Xu Yuan, you can't change places, it's here again......"
I smiled heartily and clasped his shoulders with both hands: "Qu Zheng the first time you remember, you are so bad!" ”
He buried his head in my chest and said, "That was my first ........ too."
