Chapter 24: Distance
Yin Mei said this possibility, Du Juan didn't think about it, she didn't completely disagree, but she was a little repulsive subjectively, and she didn't want to think in this direction, but now, as an outsider who doesn't understand all the intersections of two people, Yin Mei has such doubts, does that really mean something?
Cuckoo had been entangled and anxious before, but this was the first time she felt dazed and hesitant.
Is all my efforts over the years really just a misclassification of emotions?
Du Juan has been a good child since he was a child, obedient and sensible, Du Mother herself likes girls, especially the kind of gentle and quiet girl, so in the whole process of Du Juan from childhood to adulthood, she is committed to shaping Du Juan into an image of a fair lady, and it is precisely because of such a reason that Du Juan has been instilled with a concept that girls are weak since she was a child, unlike those brute force, naughty and rebellious boys, which is why she has been in junior high school, bullied and teased by the naughty students in the class, If you don't realize that you have the ability to resist when you get up, you will only feel helpless and crying.
Tang Hongye's act of standing up for her at that time can be said to be a double shock to Du Juan, on the one hand, the feeling that someone stands up to support herself and protect herself when she is the most helpless and sadding, for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, ignorant girl, it can be regarded as very lethal.
On the other hand, Du Juan always remembered Tang Hongye's tenacious and stubborn look when he was one against two, even if he knew that his attack power alone could not defeat the other two people in the real sense, but he still rushed forward without fear, such a move made Du Juan feel a little embarrassed, she felt that her mother's training direction for herself, maybe not so suitable, although there is nothing wrong with saying that a quiet and gentle fair lady, but blindly gentle and quiet, she was teased and bullied, But others have to work hard to maintain it, how different is a person who doesn't even have the ability to protect himself from waste?
Since then, the cuckoo began to work hard to change his cowardice, and gradually began to dare to resist some classmates who made too much jokes or made some inappropriate actions because of jealousy, and became a rose, delicate and lovely, but with thorns, and no longer the greenhouse flower that was originally manipulated by others.
It can be said that if there was no turning point at the beginning, there would not be such a cuckoo today, so Du Juan is both moved and grateful to Tang Hongye, she has put in a lot of effort, just to keep up with Tang Hongye's pace, to be able to keep up with him, and now suddenly let her reflect on whether her feelings are a misunderstanding, which really makes her feel at a loss.
In addition, it is indeed the same as Yin Mei said, the parents of the two families have known each other for many years, and the relationship has always been good, plus the two people are getting older and older, and the parents of both families are looking at it and have the intention of wanting to be in-laws, so they move around more frequently and fight more and more hot.
So Tang Hongye will not be able to explain to the family because he is afraid of getting into trouble with himself, and the cuckoo has no bottom.
Du Juan tried hard to recall, but still couldn't think of any friction and contradictions that had occurred between herself and Tang Hongye, which was big enough to affect the relationship between the two people, she had the impression that the two people got along very friendly and harmonious at first, and even had a little intimacy at one time, but then I don't know when it started, Tang Hongye suddenly became awkward, and the two of them began to gradually fall into this kind of running and chasing, and the one that ran stopped from time to time, etc., Looking back at the odd situation.
Sometimes Du Juan really can't wait to put aside what is reserved or not reserved, tugging at Tang Hongye's collar, and asking him to say a happy word, whether he has a good impression of himself, if there is, everyone will be happy, if not, then he will let go from now on, go his own way, and never entangle each other again.
Of course, this is just thinking about it, just look at Tang Hongye's demeanor when he was in the car at night, even if he really asked him with his collar, he might not be able to say it clearly.
Just like to themselves at this moment, both of them seem to be a little confused in this matter.
"Cuckoo, did I say something wrong?" Yin Mei saw that the cuckoo was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but start to get nervous again, and cautiously opened her mouth to ask tentatively, for fear of making the cuckoo unhappy.
The cuckoo came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, you didn't say anything wrong, I think maybe you are right." ”
"I don't think you should think about it too much," Yin Mei also sighed, "Anyway, you've already made a decision, so why don't you have to give it a try next?" Cuckoo, to be honest, I really didn't expect a girl like you to encounter such distress, I remember that since I was in college, there have always been a lot of boys who like you and pursue you, I thought you could only pick and choose, the kind that can only silently like a person, and even pick it out and feel that there is no bottom in the heart, and there is no sense of existence and humbleness, it can only appear in people like me. ”
Du Juan was not in the mood to talk about these things anymore, so he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled at Yin Mei, took the initiative to divert the topic, and began to ask how Yin Mei felt after being seconded to City A.
The two of them didn't eat this hot pot for too long, the cuckoo didn't have much appetite, Yin Mei didn't eat much, and the most important thing was that if it was too late, it would not be reassuring for Yin Mei to take the car back to the guest house alone.
It's not that Du Juan is unwilling to let Yin Mei stay overnight, it's just that she really can't sleep with two people here.
Early the next morning, Du Juan woke up in a room full of hot pot smell, the mood was not good or bad, she still needed to continue to work with Tang Hongye today, although she took the initiative the night before to open the distance and think about it calmly, but now after all, she and Tang Hongye are already partners, and the distance in private can be widened, and when you get to the unit, the work that should be handled cannot be affected by personal feelings.
When she washed up and took out her mobile phone to check the time, she found that Tang Hongye had sent a message early in the morning, saying that the place where the cuckoo lived was in the middle, so he was ready to set off, and drove directly to the hospital with her, so as not to waste any more time tossing in the direction of the Public Security Bureau. Du Juan looked at the time, estimated that Tang Hongye had almost arrived, so he simply didn't reply to his message, took a small bread and a carton of milk from the cabinet in his room and stuffed them into his backpack, and received all other personal belongings into his room, locked the door and prepared to leave.
"Cut...... I didn't see anything expensive, and I was like a thief all day long......" The female roommate who had just gotten up and came out of the house happened to see the cuckoo's action of locking the door, and scolded lukewarmly on the side.
Her boyfriend was still greasy, standing behind his girlfriend and smiling and waving at the cuckoo who looked back at them, and that enthusiastic look was almost a kiss.
The cuckoo just glanced at them silently, and didn't react, she is now used to this kind of personal belongings before going out, she must try to put her personal belongings in the room, and lock the door, there is no way, things are indeed not particularly expensive, but no matter how expensive things are, they can't be used casually.
It's really sad to have two roommates who are not very reliable in terms of quality and character.
Du Juan now hopes that a breakthrough can be made in Xian Heyu's case as soon as possible, so that the case can be closed as soon as possible, so that he can have time to find another house to live alone in within the deadline.
After going downstairs, Tang Hongye's car had already stopped there, Du Juan walked over, got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and took out bread and milk, planning to settle breakfast on the way.
"You just took one, huh?" Tang Hongye asked on the side.
The cuckoo turned to look at him, and saw a large shadow hanging from each of the guy's big signature eyes, as if he hadn't slept well the night before.
"Oh, I'll bring one, if you haven't had breakfast either...... Let's stop by and buy one later. She nodded to Tang Hongye, inserted her habit into the milk carton, and drank it in small sips with the box in both hands.
Tang Hongye's originally lit up eyes dimmed in an instant, he pursed his lips, and drove in the direction of the hospital without saying a word, the cuckoo milk drank slowly, and the bread was also eaten slowly, mainly after deciding to distance themselves to cool down, she didn't know what to say to Tang Hongye, and it was embarrassing to be speechless.
Du Juan found that in the past ten years, he was very familiar with how to keep pace with Tang Hongye, and he was really a little unfamiliar with how to keep a distance from him and keep the temperature. But after calming down all night, now Du Juan is not so sad, she feels that her decision may be really correct, after all, she has been active enough for so long, but Tang Hongye has never been able to hang himself there, which is indeed not very fair to herself, just like Yin Mei said, it is too humble, she doesn't want to continue to be humble.
When I arrived at the destination, there were already a lot of cars in and out of the yard, it seemed that the hospital was such a magical place, there was never the so-called off-season and peak season, and even the morning and dusk day and night could not be distinguished.
Tang Hongye finally found a parking space, parked the car, and just turned off the car, his stomach let out a loud hunger roar out of time, which sounded very clear in the narrow space in the car.
Of course, it was impossible for the cuckoo not to hear it, she was about to get out of the car, but when she heard Tang Hongye's stomach growling with hunger, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing, turned her head and asked, "Why didn't you buy breakfast on the way just now?" ”
"I don't have an appetite, I don't want to eat." Tang Hongye didn't have the right mouth, and replied sullenly.
I thought that Du Juan would say something to persuade herself to pay attention to regular diet, but she didn't expect that after listening to it, she got out of the car without saying a word, and Tang Hongye suddenly felt that he was stuffed with a big lead ball in his heart.
"You, I don't eat breakfast, aren't you going to tell me something?" He got out of the car closely, locked the car casually, hurriedly followed behind the cuckoo, and asked angrily.
The cuckoo looked back at him in some surprise: "I said it in the past, but don't you feel annoyed?" I thought about it yesterday, and since I've been disturbing you and burdening you in the past, I'm going to try my best to avoid it in the future. ”
Tang Hongye's words were congested, and he walked forward without saying a word, and Du Juan followed without saying a word.
Fortunately, this time they came to the hospital, asked the nurse to inquire, and learned that Xiao Ling had woken up, Xian Weiwei had not come back last night, after Xiao Ling woke up in the morning, the nurse of the patient in the next bed saw that she was alone and a little pitiful, and by the way, she bought a porridge, and even the lunch box was borrowed from the nurse on duty.
"Her daughter is really ruthless, if my mother is in the hospital alone after surgery, I can't bear not to come, I don't even ask, I don't even care if I can eat." The nurse on duty is not very old, and she is also in her twenties, although she has seen all kinds of patients and family members on weekdays, but she still feels quite uncomfortable in the face of a mother and daughter like Xiao Ling and Xian Weiwei.
Du Juan asked the nurse to help her go in and say hello to Xiao Ling to see if she could be willing to cooperate with their investigation, and the nurse agreed, went into the ward, and came out in less than two minutes.
"She said that she is willing to see you, and she also has sedation in her current medication, so the possibility of fainting at once can be slightly reduced, but anyway, she is still a patient who is recovering from surgery, you should also take it easy, try not to stimulate her, otherwise you and we will not be able to explain to the family," the nurse sighed, "Isn't this the case these days, they themselves are not good to the family, that's no problem, But it would be a great sin to make a mistake with us! ”
Du Juan thanked her, and entered the ward with Tang Hongye, and the patients in the other two beds also woke up, there was no too serious patient number in this ward, so both sides were eating breakfast while chatting with the accompanying family members and nurses, the air was filled with the fragrance of porridge and rice, and Xiao Ling was lying alone on the bed, and the curtain next to the bed was opened, which made her even more helpless as if she was isolated.
Tang Hongye tried his best not to get his stomach hooked by the smell of food in the house, and he nodded to the weak Xiao Ling with a natural look on his face, and showed his ID: "Xiao Ling, hello, can we talk to you?" ”
Xiao Ling nodded slightly: "If you don't look for me, I want to talk to you too." ”
