When Wei Chi called, Qiao Yaoyu had already returned to the apartment near the school and had just finished taking a shower.

He didn't live in school when he was in graduate school, Qiao Ruzhang bought him a small apartment near the school, and he lived here alone.

The mobile phone rang, Qiao Yaoyu walked to the sofa and picked up the phone, and was a little surprised when he saw the word "cousin" on the caller ID.

After Yu Chi went to the imperial capital, the two brothers basically had little contact.

Qiao Yaoyu has basically been attending classes and accompanying Cheng Rao for half a year, and she hasn't paid much attention to other things.

He used to love to play games so much, and he hasn't played much in the past six months.

Qiao Yaoyu sat on the sofa and picked up the phone: "Cousin? Are you looking for me? ”

On the other side of the phone, Wei Chi leaned on the big tree in the community, raised his head to look at the street lamp opposite.

Just now, he couldn't wait to call Qiao Yaoyu to ask about Cheng Rao's situation, but now that he was connected, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Qiao Yaoyu didn't know about his relationship with Cheng Rao, and he didn't want to explain.

Wei Chi stared at the street lamp opposite for a while, and then spoke: "It's nothing, I just haven't contacted you for a long time." ”

After saying this, Wei Chi paused and asked him, "Have you been busy lately?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu: "Well, it's okay, it's not particularly busy." ”

Yu Chi: "......"

Qiao Yaoyu said that he was not busy, but he didn't know how to ask.

"What about you?" Qiao Yaoyu asked Wei Chi, "I heard my grandfather say that you talked about a girlfriend, is it really fake?" ”

When Qiao Yaoyu went back to Wei's house with Qiao Ruzhang before, he heard Wei Zhengsheng talk about Wei Chi's girlfriend, but he hadn't officially asked him for verification.

Hearing Qiao Yaoyu ask, Wei Chi said "um", which was regarded as a response.

Qiao Yaoyu laughed after hearing this: "How good is that, bring it back another day and let us have a look, the girl you like must be very beautiful." ”

Wei Chi rubbed his eyes, "What have you been busy with lately besides class?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu: "I'm not busy with anything." ”

He felt that something was wrong: "Cousin, when did you care so much about me, what are you doing?" ”

Yu Chi: "......"

Qiao Yaoyu: "What do you want to ask, ask directly, it's not your style to beat around the bush." ”

Wei Chi moved his lips, almost asking the question.

However, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

Wei Chi took a deep breath and said to Qiao Yaoyu: "It's nothing, I may go back after a while, and I will invite you to have a meal then." ”

"Okay." Qiao Yaoyu agreed, "When the time comes, you bring your girlfriend, I'll see what kind of woman subdues you." ”

Hearing Qiao Yaoyu say this, Wei Chi subconsciously clenched his mobile phone and did not continue to speak.

"Cousin, let's do this first, let's stop talking,"

Qiao Yaoyu stayed in the hospital for a day today, and he has to go over early tomorrow morning, so he has to go to bed early: "I have to get up early tomorrow and go to bed first." ”

"What are you doing in the morning?" Wei Chi asked subconsciously.

In fact, he had already guessed the answer, Qiao Yaoyu got up early, and eighty percent of it was related to Cheng Rao.

He thought that as soon as he asked like this, Qiao Yaoyu would say.

However, Qiao Yaoyu did not mention this matter to him.

Regarding Cheng Rao, Qiao Yaoyu never said anything outside.

Although he has admired Wei Chi since he was a child, he will not talk to him about such things.

This is Cheng Rao's privacy.

"There's something to do, let's not talk about it, good night, you can go to bed early." Qiao Yaoyu didn't continue to discuss this matter with Wei Chi, and hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Listening to the busy sound coming from the earpiece, Wei Chi leaned his head against the trunk of the tree and hit it hard twice.

Irritable. There was a pain in the back of his head, but he was still irritable, and he pulled his tie with one free hand.

Suits and ties, he really didn't like.

This kind of dress doesn't look like him at all.

**

Wei Chi leaned on the trunk of the tree and thought for a while, took a deep breath, and walked in the direction of the unit building.

When he got home, he changed his clothes and took a shower.

After taking a shower, he sat on the sofa and picked up his mobile phone, looked down and saw that there was a message from Wen Jiayu.

Wen Jiayu: Are you home?

Wei Chi replied: Arrived, just took a shower, what about you?

Wen Jiayu: Well, I've also finished taking a shower.

Yu Chi: Well, you go to bed early.

Wen Jiayu: You don't seem to be in a good mood today, are you in a bad mood? Is it not going well at work?

Seeing the message sent by Wen Jiayu, Wei Chi subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Could this be the legendary woman's sixth sense?

In the past, Wei Chi didn't want to mention it to her.

He was really not in the right state today, he should have shown it too obviously.

After more than half a year, Cheng Rao's affairs can still affect his mind at will.

Wei Chi took a deep breath and replied to Wen Jiayu: Yes, the workflow is not smooth, I have to work overtime tomorrow.

Wen Jiayu: Then you go to bed early, I won't bother you.

This sentence was followed by a kissing expression.

Wei Chi replied with a "good night".

After that, he flipped to Jiang Mingcheng's avatar from the WeChat address book and clicked in to chat with him.

Yu Chi: Are you there? After four or five minutes, Jiang Mingcheng replied: Yes.

Yu Chi: Do me a favor.

Jiang Mingcheng: Big brother, you say.

Wei Chi deleted and changed in the dialog box, and finally sent out a complete sentence: Help me inquire about Cheng Rao and Xiao Ye.

Jiang Mingcheng: Big brother, you have a girlfriend now.

It is already obvious what Jiang Mingcheng meant by this.

He was reminding Yu Chi that he already had a girlfriend, so don't think about Cheng Rao anymore.

Xu was because he drank wine tonight, Wei Chi's emotions were obviously a little excited, and after seeing this reply, Wei Chi immediately asked Jiang Mingcheng: Don't you also have a fiancée? Why don't you let Xiao Yuan go?

Jiang Mingcheng didn't reply for a long time.

After a while, he said, "What do you want to inquire about?"

Wei Chi: Are they still together, what are they doing, are they married?

Jiang Mingcheng: What if you don't get married? You're going to break up and come back to her?

Wei Chi didn't answer Jiang Mingcheng's question directly, but just said to him: You check first, and ask Jiang Feng or Xiao Yuan if it's convenient.

Jiang Feng used to be Cheng Rao's psychiatrist, and Wei Chi felt that he must know about these situations.

Yuan Xiao can be regarded as Cheng Rao's only friend, and this kind of thing should also be known.

Oh, yes...... and Xiao Lu.

Thinking of this, Wei Chi sent another message to Jiang Mingcheng: You help me check Xiao Lu's contact information, she is in the Foreign Chinese Academy.

Jiang Mingcheng knew that Xiao Lu was Xiao Ye's sister, so he didn't have too many doubts, and directly agreed: Okay, I know.

After a while, Jiang Mingcheng sent another message, and he asked Wei Chi: You can't let her go, right?

Wei Chi stared at the message for a while, but did not reply.

Can't put it down? The answer is already obvious.

Wei Chi hooked his lips self-deprecatingly, pinched his phone and returned to the bedroom, and lay down.

**

In the afternoon of the next day, Wei Chi received a WeChat message from Jiang Mingcheng, which was Xiao Lu's >

After Jiang Mingcheng sent Xiao Lu's contact information, he said to Wei Chi: I won't ask Xiao Yuan and Jiang Feng, Xiao Ye's sister should know everything, you can contact her.

Yu Chi: Okay, thank you.

After this message was sent, Wei Chi never received a reply from Jiang Mingcheng again.

Yu Chi saved Xiao Lu's number, and then continued the work at hand.

No matter what happens, it must not affect the work, this is his principle.

Wei Chi forced himself to calm down and finish all the work at hand.

………

At five o'clock, leave work on time.

After getting off work, Wei Chi did not ask Li Ran to send him home, but walked back alone.

On the way, Yu Chi turned out Xiao Lu's mobile phone number and dialed it.

After Yu Chi came to the imperial capital, he changed his number, and Xiao Lu only had the number before Yu Chi in his mobile phone.

After seeing the call from the field, Xiao Lu hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

Xiao Lu: "Hello, who is it?" ”

In the past two days, Xiao Lu has only run for an interview, and she thought that this call was to inform her of the interview.

After hearing Xiao Lu's voice, Yu Chi first reported to his home: "I am Yu Chi." ”

Xiao Lu: "......"

She was shocked, and she didn't know why Yu Chi called her.

Moreover, Yu Chi shouldn't have her phone number, right?

After all, he hated her before.

Xiao Lu didn't speak, so Wei Chi asked, "Can you hear me?" ”

Xiao Lu came back to his senses: "I can hear you, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Wei Chi squeezed his phone tightly and asked directly: "What's wrong with your brother and Cheng Rao?" ”

After Wei Chi finished asking this question, Xiao Lu remembered those unpleasant memories again.

It has been almost half a year since Xiao Ye really died, and in the past six months, too many things have happened.

She didn't know why Wei Chi asked this question, and suddenly asked her to summarize what had happened in the past six months, she was a little confused and a little short of words.

Xiao Lu didn't speak for a long time, and Wei Chi waited a little impatiently: "Isn't it convenient to say?" ”

"It's not." Xiao Lu came back to his senses and denied it.

After answering this question, she let out a long sigh and said to Wei Chi, "I just don't know what to say...... In the past six months or so, too much has happened. ”

“……”

Hearing Xiao Lu say this, Wei Chi's right eyelid jumped twice suddenly, and the hand holding the phone tightened.

Xiao Lu organized the language and told him the most important thing first: "On August 28 last year, my brother passed away. ”

Hearing the news, Wei Chi's head "boomed", as if something had exploded-

He had heard before that Xiao Ye's operation was successful, how could he die?

Wei Chi calmed down for a while, and then asked Xiao Lu: "Wasn't his operation successful?" ”

"Well, but after the successful operation, it recurred, and the cancer spread and caused organ failure, so I couldn't last long."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lu's voice was already choked.

"That's—"

Wei Chi moved his lips, and subconsciously wanted to ask her about Cheng Rao's situation, but found that he didn't have the courage to open this mouth at all.

How much Cheng Rao cares about Xiao Ye, he has witnessed it with his own eyes.

She can give up everything for Xiao Ye and make compromises.

After the joy of regaining, how can she bear it after experiencing life and death again?

"I know, you want to ask Cheng Rao."

Although Wei Chi didn't ask the question directly, Xiao Lu could completely guess what he was going to ask.

Speaking of Cheng Rao, Xiao Lu remembered the scene she saw when she visited her in the hospital two days ago.

She let out a sigh unconsciously.

After sighing, Xiao Lu said to Wei Chi: "My brother died in Rome, and they just got married on the 21st......

Hearing the word "marriage", Wei Chi's throat was sour, and he couldn't say a word.

He didn't know if he was sad because Cheng Rao and Xiao Ye got married, or because Cheng Rao lost her husband just a few days after they got married.

In short, it was very uncomfortable, the throat was sour, and the cheeks were sore on both sides.

Xiao Lu was also very uncomfortable when he mentioned this matter, "It was only the two of them at the time, and then the hospital in Rome called to inform Auntie, and Auntie and Uncle Qiao were over...... My parents didn't have visas, so they couldn't get there. ”

"My brother was cremated in Rome, and when he came back, there were only ashes." Speaking of this, Xiao Lu was already in tears.

"Cheng Rao committed suicide by cutting her wrists after returning from Rome...... At that time, my aunt found out early and was sent to the hospital for rescue. Xiao Lu sniffed.

Commit suicide by slitting your wrists.

Hearing these four words, Wei Ba's chest seemed to be blocked by something.

She is studying medicine, and she must have cut her wrists to commit suicide very accurately-

According to her degree of attachment to Xiao Ye, she should be determined to die.

Wei Chi hung one hand at his side, his fist tightened, and the blood vessels on his arms and the back of his hands bulged, as if they were about to break out.

I don't know how hard it took him to say the following words: "What happened ...... later?" ”

"Later......" Xiao Lu recalled the next thing, and also felt a little suffocated.

"After the rescue came back, the results of the hospital examination said that she was pregnant." Xiao Lu reminisced and said, "It's my brother's child, there was no problem with the embryo after the examination at that time, and my aunt came to discuss it with my parents, and decided to let her keep the child......"

"But, it's a pity." Speaking of this, Xiao Lu let out a long sigh again, "The child still lost in early November last year, and the doctor said that it was because of the insufficient nutritional supply of the mother, which had a lot to do with her emotions." ”

One by one, the truth smashed into him, overwhelming him.

The heart felt as if it had been grabbed by someone, and all the internal organs were hurting.

Wei Chi stopped on the side of the road, looked down at the stone road under his feet, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then how is she now?" ”

"What do you think will happen to her?" Xiao Lu didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his voice was a little bitter.

Wei Chi didn't speak, in fact...... He had already guessed what the outcome would be.

What Xiao Lu said just now, combined with the conversations he heard at the wedding last night, was enough to deduce the causal relationship.

"You say." Wei Chi gritted his teeth and said these two words with all his strength.

"She's crazy and forgets everything before." Xiao Lu said, "The doctor said it was a stress reaction, and it has been almost half a year, and there has been no recovery, and when the disease occurs, it will self-harm or hurt others." ”

"At first, my aunt didn't plan to take her to the hospital, but then I really couldn't help it." Xiao Lu told Yu Chi, "She is now at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Los Angeles University. ”

“……”

Wei Chi moved his lips, but he couldn't make any sound.

Having said so much, Xiao Lu also had a feeling of exhaustion.

She didn't dare to recall what had happened in the past six months, and this was the first time that she had connected all these things together.

She can't be considered a party at all, but when she recalls these things, she still feels like she is suffocating.

She couldn't imagine how Cheng Rao had gone through this.

It makes sense that she's going to go crazy. If the same thing happened to her, she might not be as good as Cheng Rao......

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xiao Lu sniffed and asked Yu Chi.

"Nope." Wei Chi replied with three words, and after a pause, he thanked her: "Thank you." ”

After that, he cut off the call.

At this time, he was standing at the gate of the community.

………

Hanging up the phone, Wei Chi raised his hand and touched his eyes.

His heart was twitching, and the pain made it harder and harder for him to breathe.

Wei Chi took a breath back to the house, and when he entered the door, he sat down on the sofa.

Wei Chi bent down and took a cigarette and a lighter from under the coffee table, and smoked one after another.

When I sucked hard with the cigarette butt between my two fingers, my fingertips were wet with a few drops of slightly cool liquid.

Wei Chi leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling lamp in a daze.

He knew very well that what he heard from Xiao Lu was just the tip of the iceberg in her experience in the past six months.

No one can imagine how painful and tormented she was.

And what has he been doing for more than half a year?

He was in love with Wen Jiayu, accompanied her to go shopping, eat and watch movies, and slept in the same bed with her at night.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face-

Although he knew very well in his heart that if Cheng Rao was sober, he would definitely not be unfamiliar with his guilt and concern.

Wei Chi's eyes were full of red bloodshots, his eyes were so red that he couldn't speak, and the tails of his eyes were also moist.

There were tears, but they did not fall.

After smoking the cigarette in his hand, Wei Chi picked up his mobile phone again and began to look through the ticket information.

After a struggle of ideas, Wei Chi bought a ticket for nine o'clock on Friday night.

After buying the ticket, he put down his phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he took a bath, he closed his eyes, and the picture of getting along with Cheng Rao immediately appeared.

He always thought that she had been doing well for more than half a year.

Unexpectedly, when he didn't know it, she would suffer so much.

Xiao Lu said that she would self-harm as soon as she became ill......

He didn't dare to think about it at all.

**

A week passed quickly, and since he learned the news of Cheng Rao, Yu Chi dreamed of her almost every night.

In fact, he rarely dreams, and this is the first time he has dreamed several nights in a row since he was a child.

He dreamed that they were on a mission together, and she was shuttling through the camp in a white coat, with no expression on her face, and when she saw him, she only glanced at him faintly;

He dreamed that he was injured during the mission, and Cheng Rao helped him to the operating table and bandaged him personally;

He dreamed that Cheng Rao was leaning against the wall and smoking, and he angrily went up and snatched the cigarette from her hand and snuffed it out;

He dreamed that the two of them were dating and watching a movie together, and dreamed that Cheng Rao teased him in the fitting room, jumped his fire, and scolded him for being unproductive.

In the dream, he touched her fingers, and as before, cool, like her personality.

Every time he woke up, Wei Chi felt like he was in a different world.

In fact, if you calculate carefully, he and Cheng Rao have not known each other for a long time, and until now, it has only been about two years.

He never knew that he could have such a deep relationship in such a short period of time.

**

After a few days of suffering like this, it finally ushered in Friday.

On Friday morning, Wei Chi casually collected two clothes and went to the office with a small suitcase.

During the lunch break, Wei Chi received a call from Wen Jiayu, who said that she would come to him after work.

Only then did Wei Chi react, and he forgot to tell her about returning to Los Angeles.

There were some things that he didn't intend to hide from her.

Therefore, when Wen Jiayu said that she would look for him after work, Wei Chi told her directly: "I bought a ticket to go back to Los Angeles tonight." ”

After Wen Jiayu heard Yu Chi say this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is there something going on at home?" ”

Wei Chi was silent for a while and said, "No, I just want to go back and see, it's not a big deal." ”

"Then I'll go with you." Wen Jiayu said, "I haven't been to Los Angeles for a long time." ”

"No need Jiayu." Wei Chi refused her without thinking about it, "You have a good rest on the weekend, don't follow me around." ”

"It's okay." Wen Jiayu smiled, "I'm your girlfriend now, and it's my duty to accompany you on weekends." ”

Speaking of this, she paused and asked, "What time is your ticket?" I'm going to buy it now. ”

Yu Chi: "...... Ten past nine. ”

"Okay." Wen Jiayu said, "Then let Li Ran take us to the airport after work." ”

Yu Chi: "...... Good. ”

There was no way for him to refuse Wen Jiayu.

As she said, they are now boyfriend and girlfriend, and it is understandable that Wen Jiayu wants to go back to Los Angeles with him.

Wei Chi thought about it, perhaps, it would be good to let her follow.

At least, with her by his side, he can control himself-

He had to keep reminding himself that right now, he was the one who had a girlfriend.

Probably because he was once abandoned, he couldn't be ruthless to Wen Jiayu at all.

has been together for more than half a year, Wen Jiayu has never quarreled with him, the two of them get along harmoniously, and there is no reason to break up at all.

**

Los Angeles, Hospital.

As soon as class got out of class on Friday afternoon, Qiao Yaoyu came to the hospital with food.

A new snack bar opened near the school, which has all kinds of desserts, and several female classmates around said that the store was very good, and Qiao Yaoyu finally had time to line up to buy it today.

He bought all the more popular desserts.

It is said that eating sweets can make people gain weight, and he wants to feed Cheng Rao a little fatter now.

When Qiao Yaoyu came over with something, Cheng Rao was sitting on the bed in a daze.

She was so engrossed that the sound of the door opening didn't distract her.

Qiao Yaoyu walked to the side of the bed with a paper bag and waved his hand at Cheng Rao, "What are you thinking?" ”

Cheng Rao came back to her senses and looked at Qiao Yaoyu.

After seeing him, Cheng Rao immediately got up and hugged him, tears welling up in her eyes.

Qiao Yaoyu was taken aback by her reaction, and her voice was a little stiff: "What's wrong?" Don't cry, don't cry. ”

"I thought you didn't want me anymore." Cheng Rao hugged him tightly, "No one plays with me anymore." ”

"Why don't you want you, don't think about it." Qiao Yaoyu rubbed her hair, "I have class in the morning, and I'll come to play with you immediately after class." ”

"Really? Didn't you lie to me? Cheng Rao stared into his eyes for verification.

"Really, you're my sister, how could I not want you." Qiao Yaoyu picked up the paper bag next to him, "Look, I also brought you something delicious." ”
