Eighteen Sugar "Cakes"
After Ji Chen returned home, he was faced with countless questions from his mother, why did he get sick, why did he suddenly get sick, did he have another nightmare, what did he dream of in his dream......
Ji Chen chose to remain silent with her mother, she looked at her anxious mother and said nothing.
The more anxious Ji Mu was, the more she felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. Silence is like an invisible sawtooth tearing at the balance between mother and daughter. In the end, Ji's mother announced her surrender and went out with tears in her eyes.
Ji Chen was heartbroken for a moment, no, she didn't want to be like this, why did she want to do that to her mother. Obviously, all she needs to say is a word...... But she chose silence.
Ji Chen felt that this family was like a prison, it was not her mother's love that locked her up, it was her hatred that locked her up.
She remembered that she had dreamed of that dream before school started, and she knew that it was a real thing, but it was a previous life. She hated her parents for abandoning her at that time, so, in this life, when it came to her, did she want to torture her family like this? With their love for themselves?
Ji Chen didn't want to do this, since she was dead in her previous life, all the love and hate in her previous life should end with the passing of her life. She hasn't experienced those things in her life, so why should she use your feelings to affect my life? Ji Chen questioned this self hidden in his body, but there was no answer.
When Ji Chen went to the hospital the next day, he was already on his third day. She slept until she woke up naturally, and made up for all the sleep she owed in the third month of high school.
Because Ji Chen's appointment was a bit sudden, Su Pei vacated the lunch break time and left it to Ji Chen in line with the principle of everything for the patient.
When Ji Chen went out of the room, he saw food on the dining table, and Ji's mother was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The TV is a variety show, and the host's exaggerated shouting voice makes people feel disgusted. And Ji Mu obviously couldn't see it, her eyes were blank. Seeing Ji Chen coming out of the door, he suddenly came back to his senses and stood up crampedly, "The rice is on the table, the soup is in the pot, I'll serve it to you." β
Ji Chen's nose was sour, she didn't know what to say.
Regardless of whether her mother in her previous life finally listened to her father and abandoned her, her mother was always her mother, and her love for her never changed, but her stubbornness made many things change.
The dead Ji Chen, when he had a mother, he didn't cherish it well, and after losing it, he would only abandon her parents with resentment. Even if her father is old and abandoned her because of those pedantic ideas, what is wrong with her parents, who gave birth to her and raised her, and her parents never owe her. The only thing owed is just not to say goodbye.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry too much about me, just cry at every turn, don't worry about it!"
Ji Mu pulled the corners of her mouth far-fetchedly, only to realize that she couldn't even force a smile. Although her daughter comforted her heartlessly, she found that the relationship between herself and her daughter had been estranged. The relationship like girlfriends before is gone. The daughter began to repel her approach, preferring to lock herself in her room.
In order to express his apologies in his heart, Ji Chen ate a big bowl of rice, and only stopped until his stomach couldn't stuff anything at all, and praised Ji's mother's cooking skills, and his two eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, praising Ji's mother's skills to the heavens and the earth, the only one in the world, which can be regarded as making Ji's mother laugh.
When Ji Chen sat in the co-pilot, her heart began to beat a drum, and she didn't know how to face Su Pei.
Su Pei is a conscientious doctor, she is very sensitive to patients, she knows which words she is telling the truth and which words are lying, and she doesn't know how to deal with this doctor.
When she didn't understand her own situation, when she was still confused, she was willing to cooperate with Su Pei's treatment, but now, she only felt tired.
"Let's go inside." Ji Mu said softly to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen looked at her mother, she smiled tiredly. The psychology department is located on the top floor of the hospital building, where patients can hardly be found except for the nurses on duty. The patients who come here seem to be extra afraid that others will know that they are not healthy in their hearts, and they are extra careful.
Ji Chen looked at the empty corridor, nodded at Ji Mu, pushed open the door and walked in.
Su Pei saw that Ji Chen was coming, and put the folder in his hand aside. The word "Ji Chen" was written on the back of the folder, and she was used to familiarizing herself with the next patient's condition before seeing them, even if she knew many patients' conditions by heart, she would have to look at them again.
Ji Chen smiled shyly, greeted Su Pei, and saw the lunch box on Su Pei's table, his face was hot.
Because of himself, Su Pei deliberately took a lunch break, and even had to eat lunch in the office.
"Come, sit." Su Pei put away the unfinished lunch box and opened her notebook, which wrote the questions she wanted to ask next and some points to note.
There is nothing to talk about during the routine inspection, but it is still necessary to finish speaking, for those questions, Ji Chen already knows what kind of answer can satisfy Su Pei and will not make Su Pei frown, so he answered it handily, but the idle talk time after that gave her a headache.
Su Pei had a stack of cards and would ask her to draw one immediately. There is a topic on each card, and if you draw that one, then the topic of conversation today will revolve around that card.
Most of the time, Ji Chen was talking, Su Pei was listening, and occasionally expressed some of her opinions.
Ji Chen didn't like this link very much, because the more people said, the more they exposed their inner thoughts. She didn't know what kind of conclusion Su Pei could draw from her words, but it felt like the emperor's new clothes when she was looked at the end, and she deceived herself into putting on the clothes, but in fact there was nothing on her body.
Ji Chen couldn't explain why she rejected this link, it stands to reason that she has nothing to fear. She is a little girl who does not know the world, and she has no dark secrets, but her heart is an unspeakable rejection.
Maybe it's not that I'm rejecting, it's another self, Ji Chen thought.
She looked at the cards lined up on the table, each card was facing back, the topics that had been said were all drawn by Su Pei, and the rest were unknown.
Ji Chen can only be selected blindly.
Ji Chen prayed in his heart that the topic she chose would be easier and allow her to fool around at will.
Ji Chen flipped through the card, and this time the topic made her can't help but raise her eyebrows, what kind of topic is this?
There are only two words on the card β cake.
In the past, most of the cards that Ji Chen opened were synonymous with "family, friends, lovers" and other things linked to feelings, and there was no such strange card once.
But Su Pei put away the other cards very calmly, and only this eye-catching card was left on the table.
"Come on, tell me what you think of the cake."
Ji Chen pouted, not knowing how to speak.
"It's made of cream, it's cylindrical, and it tastes sweet." Ji Chen looked at Su Pei's expression as he spoke, she was like a primary school student who was named by the Chinese teacher to analyze the meaning of the paragraph, she didn't know what the standard answer was, so she could only open her eyes and talk nonsense.
"I'm from the West, and I eat it on my birthday." After saying this, Ji Chen didn't know what to say next. She didn't have any idea of cake. The main reason is that she herself doesn't like to eat cakes, and the tradition of their family is to eat longevity noodles on her birthday, and she doesn't like the Western-style one.
"When it comes to cakes, don't you have some associations? For example, an innocent child, a little girl who is happy to receive a doll, etc.? β
Ji Chen rolled his eyes, "No." β
"So what do you think is something like cake to you? Casually, don't just stick to the cake, say something that is close to it, or something that is not on the side, whether you have a story related to cake in your life or not. β
Ji Chen looked down at the palm of her hand, pressing her palm with one thumb, as if the answer to this question was written on the palm of her hand, which allowed her to avoid this conversation.
"I don't like cake, I think it's too sweet and greasy, it will make a girl's body swell, and it will cause acne. It's like a carbonated drink, some people will feel refreshed and stimulated when they drink it, but some people will feel spicy when they drink it. β
"Well, turnip greens have their own favorites."
"Cake...... I don't really know what to think of, maybe it has something to do with candles. Ji Chen crooked his mouth, he didn't know what he was talking about, forget it, anyway, he didn't have Su Pei's kung fu, no matter how much he went around in circles, he would be led into her trap by Su Pei, "When I was a child, I also liked to eat cakes, it was very sweet, and children like to eat sweets." But one time I had so bad tooth decay that I couldn't even eat, and my mother bought me rice and rushed it back to me, telling me to eat less sweets, because sweets would take away my teeth, and then I would use dentures like the neighbor's grandmother. Since that time, I haven't even eaten chocolate. For a long time, my mother didn't even dare to put more sugar in the dishes, because if I left too much, I tasted sweet, so I stopped eating and lost my temper. β
This kind of old thing was taken out again, Ji Chen wanted to laugh a little, laughing at his previous self was naΓ―ve and stupid. But before she could laugh, her heart suddenly ached violently, and she knew that her memories had stung that one, and she was frantically "revenge" herself.
Maybe it was the warmth of the past that hurt her, or maybe it was that she was too "well-behaved" and made her angry, Ji Chen curled up in the chair with his chest, and Su Pei was frightened by her pale face.
Ji Chen took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing rate, she knew that these were not a big deal.
"It's okay, just a little symptom lately."
