In the first five seconds of connection, neither of them spoke, and finally the person who came to the phone broke the deadlock, "It's me, I ......" Shi Jiaojiao called out the long-lost title before the other party reported to herself, "Teacher Tang." Tang Jianyu unconsciously held his breath and let out a muffled sound through his nose, "Hmm." ”

Another bus entered the station, Shi Jiaojiao didn't plan to take it for the time being, so in order not to cause misunderstanding among the drivers, she walked behind the platform billboard. Shi Jiaojiao leaned against the trunk of a sycamore tree, the wind rustled the leaves, she covered her eyes, and her tone was as natural and lively as possible, "Why did your old man remember to call me?" ”

Tang Jianyu judged that it was convenient for her to listen to the phone at this time, so he asked straight to the point: "Where are you now?" Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's in City B." Tang Jianyu's mouth pursed into a line and loosened, "Do you still have contact with Ji Fei?" I remember you guys were very good friends. When Shi Jiaojiao heard this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart: since May Day, since the unemployment turmoil, she and the sixth child have not spoken for several months. Thinking of this, Shi Jiaojiao straightened up and asked, "We have always been in touch, but we have been busy lately, not so often." Did something happen? ”

This call was made by Tang Jianyu from the corridor of the outpatient duty room of the First Hospital in City A. He was on vacation, and as soon as he got home, Tang's mother told him that his late grandfather's younger brother had come to the city for medical treatment, and that the relatives who accompanied him were staying at his house. "You just happened to be back, so go check it out. It's not long since I'm old to live, and running around to change hospitals is all about psychological comfort! Tang Jianyu only had a relationship with this old man when he was very young, but he still went to visit as soon as possible.

The old man's kidneys had failed, his face was swollen and he could barely see his eyes, and of course he couldn't speak. In addition to a temporary nurse hired in the local ward, there is also a cousin and aunt who temporarily lives at home, Tang Jianyu. Seeing the old man fall asleep, his cousin took Tang Jianyu's hand and expressed her gratitude to him for coming to visit, "Alas, you just came back so tired, so you came to see grandpa, he was actually so happy in his heart, he just couldn't say it!" Tang Jianyu was speechless, so he had to say, "It should be." ”

Coming out of the ward, Tang Jianyu pinched the bridge of his nose, and the tiredness of the journey suddenly came up, and he quickened his pace and wanted to go back early to make up for his sleep. Tang Jianyu passed through several wards, most of which were open at this time, and patients were receiving treatment in various weak postures. Tang Jianyu couldn't help but sigh: Those who will live in this area will not be a minor illness. He walked two or three steps past the penultimate ward, and when he soon reached the top of the stairs, he saw a young girl holding a kettle.

Tang Jianyu turned back and carefully identified it, only to determine that the girl wearing the striped hospital gown was indeed Ji Fei. She was waving her hands and talking to a middle-aged woman, looking reluctant. Tang Jianyu couldn't believe it, and instead of abruptly alarming Ji Fei himself, he went to the outpatient clinic to find a junior high school classmate.

This old classmate happened to work at this hospital, specializing in blood diseases. The results of the inquiry were unacceptable, "I have just been diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the lymphatic system, but fortunately, it was detected in time, and the cure rate is more than 95% at this time." Tang Jianyu wanted to know more, and the male doctor said that he should ask the patient's attending doctor for the specific situation.

As soon as he was separated from his old classmates, Tang Jianyu dialed Shi Jiaojiao's phone number, and after hearing her voice, he realized: Maybe Ji Fei didn't want Shi Jiaojiao to know about her illness at all. "Hello? Is it still there? Shi Jiaojiao's puzzled tone was exactly the same as before, and Tang Jianyu answered softly, "Yes." Then he told Shi Jiaojiao everything he had just discovered.

"What, I, why didn't I understand." Shi Jiaojiao was obviously panicked, "You said you were in the hospital and saw Fei Fei." You say Fei Fei has cancer? No way, I don't know what you're talking about! She was fine when we met on May Day! Shi Jiaojiao held her mobile phone, completely talking to herself, "How could she not tell me about such a big thing!" You must have lied to me, didn't you? You're lying, you're kidding me, aren't you? ”

For a moment, the road and the car were all gone, the wind and the trees were all gone, and Shi Jiaojiao felt like she was being put into a white plastic bag, and someone was pulling out the air in the bag. "How is it possible, this is impossible!" Shi Jiaojiao propped herself on the plane tree with one hand, letting it fall into the mobile phone on the ground, Tang Jianyu called her again and again. "No, I must be dreaming! I dreamed that Mr. Tang, who I never contacted again, called me, and I dreamed that he said that Fei Fei was sick......"

And the dreams are all reversed, and when I wake up, I will find that I have never received a call from him, and Fei Fei is even more alive! We made an agreement: when I have my own place to live, she will come to City B to find a job, live together, and be together every day...... I'm going to wake up, wake up right now!

Tang Jianyu seemed to have seen the process of Shi Jiaojiao's emotional collapse with his own eyes, and he regretted it, why did he bring her such bad news on the first call in more than two years! "Jiaojiao, don't be like this, listen to me, listen to me, I have already asked the doctor, the condition was detected in time, and the cure rate is nearly 100%!" Tang Jianyu continued to anxiously reassure, and Shi Jiaojiao, who was "put in a bag", couldn't hear a word.

Tang Jianyu returned home exhausted, startling the oncoming Tang mother, "I'm going to die, why is my face so bad when I come back from a trip to the hospital, did you shave in the morning?" Tang Jianyu pressed the phone by himself, and there was still a continuous sound in the receiver waiting to be connected. Oh, my God! Tang Jianyu called out anxiously, walked to the entrance into the room, took off his shoes randomly, stared at his mobile phone without blinking, and walked straight to his room. Mother Tang, who had been ignored the whole time, stood in place dumbfounded, she had never seen such an anxious son.

There was a lot of unfinished material on the table, and the phone was full of emails and instant messages from peers. At this moment, Tang Jianyu didn't have the energy to deal with work, he was tired and worried, and as soon as he got close to the bed, he collapsed inside, "I didn't confirm where she was when she answered the phone, there wouldn't be any accidents, right......" The huge pressure turned into a sleeping demon and attacked Tang Jianyu, he really hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Even if he fell asleep, his mobile phone was always in his hand, Tang Jianyu woke up several times halfway, and he couldn't get through to her without news of Shi Jiaojiao. Until the evening, Tang Jianyu, who was washing his face, heard the ringtone of his mobile phone in the room not far away, he threw down the towel and rushed over, and pressed the call button as soon as possible, "Hey, Jiaojiao." Shi Jiaojiao's voice was low and hoarse, and it was obvious that she had experienced an extremely difficult afternoon.

"Fei Fei's phone can't get through anymore." Shi Jiaojiao split her head like this, "Heh, why? Why did Fei Fei have such a terrible disease, she is obviously the most beautiful girl in the world! She was still talking to herself, and Tang Jianyu was just listening. There are no tickets for today at the station, so I bought the earliest train for tomorrow. Which hospital and ward is she in? After saying this, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't cry anymore.

She didn't understand, she had obviously adapted to the whole afternoon, and her mood before the phone call could even be called calm, why she collapsed again when she heard Tang Jianyu's voice. She was very scared, afraid that something would happen to Fei Fei, afraid of the possibility of saying goodbye to her! Tang Jianyu replied: "The first hospital of the city, the XXX ward of Building X of the inpatient department. ”

After answering, he called "Shi Jiaojiao" three times in a row, and got the other party to say "heard" in response, before asking: "Did you hear what I told you in the afternoon?" "What?" "Ji Fei's condition is very good, it belongs to the early middle of the early, and the cure rate is extremely high, understand?" "Really, really?" "Absolutely. It's a classmate who works as a doctor in a hospital, and after checking it, he told me in person, can you calm down? Don't be afraid. In the end, Tang Jianyu's voice was so soft that it was about to melt.

Shi Jiaojiao finally became a little angry, and moved her eyes, "But, the good and the bad are all coming out of your mouth, I'm really afraid." As if he could see Shi Jiaojiao's frightened posture, Tang Jianyu felt a tightening of his chest, he stroked his hair back with his free hand, and the water droplets that he didn't have time to wipe off when washing his face were bounced everywhere indiscriminately. He closed his eyes and tried to keep his voice as quiet as possible, "Don't be afraid, I will never lie to you, the situation is not so terrible." ”

Perhaps in order to punish herself for her negligence in the sixth child, Shi Jiaojiao made the phone call that the sixth child turned off all night, without any sleepiness. Later, I woke up and slept all the way on the bus, and when I got off the bus, I felt dizzy, and I walked to the new station several times, and I almost couldn't find the exit.

Standing at the exit of the station, which was already lively, Shi Jiaojiao looked around for a long time before finding the street sign to the taxi area, her feet were still a little empty, and she was just about to turn in the aisle, and one arm was grabbed.

Tang Jianyu has lost a lot of weight, and his slightly long hair is neglected and slightly messy. And Shi Jiaojiao in Tang Jianyu's eyes was even weaker, and her pale face made people think that she would faint immediately. "You ......" Shi Jiaojiao wanted to ask him why he came, but the words choked in her throat, and tears rolled up unconsciously. Tang Jianyu didn't say a word, gently pressed Shi Jiaojiao's eyes with both hands, just waited for her emotions to pass, and wiped away most of the tears by the way when he let go.

Tang Jianyu took Shi Jiaojiao's backpack, held Shi Jiaojiao's arm through his sleeves, pulled her through the crowd, and turned around the railing. The two walked in the bustling station one after the other, Tang Jianyu didn't explain Shi Jiaojiao and didn't ask, they just walked without saying a word. Walking to a familiar black car, Tang Jianyu put Shi Jiaojiao's backpack in the back seat, and then said to Shi Jiaojiao: "I'll go with you." ”

Shi Jiaojiao sat in the passenger seat, as if she had regained some energy, and looked around with restraint and curiosity as she did when she first sat in. Under the windshield was still the empty glass of crystal light blue perfume bottle, and the interior was still as clean as new, and the smell was still there...... Shi Jiaojiao closed her dry eyes and instinctively breathed deeply.

"Teacher Tang, it's so fragrant."
