Chapter Twenty-Three: Approaching
For three consecutive days, Yijian rested in the ward, and Yan Yi did not allow her to walk around. In the afternoon of this day, Yijian woke up from a nap and found that An's mother was sitting next to the hospital bed, and she hadn't seen her for a few days, and An's mother had also lost weight.
"Mom~" also called her.
"You're awake~"
"Hmm~~"
"Feeling better?" Mother Ann has always been gentle to her, but today she is even more careful, as if holding the glass in the palm of her hand for fear that it will break.
"I'm fine, don't worry!" These days, she has always told the visitors that she is okay, and it is almost a mantra.
"I'm afraid that you won't be used to the food in the hospital, so I specially asked Mother Lin to make a few side dishes to bring to you, I'll feed you." An Mu said while taking out a few plates of side dishes from the insulated box and arranging them on the table.
"It's okay, Mom, I can do it myself.."
Yijian lowered her head to eat, occasionally glanced at An's mother's uneasy face, and said in an unsteady tone, "Mom, Yiling her..."
"Yiling, she's okay now." Mother Ann lowered her eyes, looked at her hand, and said in a low and clear voice, "However, the doctor still told us to prepare!" ”
Yijian stretched out her hand to cover An's mother's palm, and said firmly, "Mom, don't worry, Yiling will definitely be fine!" "Because she's always ready, for so many years, she's...
Mother An was relieved, but reluctant, and casually changed the topic, "By the way, who is that boy at the door, who has been guarding you every inch for the past few days." Mother An has been curious for a long time, even if she came to see Yijian in the past few days, the boy was also on guard.
Yijian looked at the door, "Oh~, his name is Yan Yi, and he is a friend of mine." "The day before yesterday, Yijian planned to leave the hospital early, but Yan Yi just didn't let her, she stayed in the hospital for three days, and he stayed in the hospital for three days, even though he simply asked him to go back, he always refused.
"Oh, I'm just curious, it's the first time I've seen this friend of yours, why don't you invite him to sit at home another day, and my mother will thank him for taking care of you for so many days!"
Yijian finally persuaded Yan Yi to let her be discharged from the hospital and returned to work in the café, but before she started work, she was haunted by Xiyu's ghost.
"I've heard what Shanshan said, hehe.." Since listening to Shanshan's endless description of the interesting things that happened on the day of the game, Xi Yu's mind has completely only retained the part of Yan Yi's true words, and the rest is automatically filtered, which is full of meaning to provoke the topic.
"What did she say?" Xi Yu has always been known for breaking the casserole to ask the end, torture if it doesn't work, and then be known for the listening methods of sugar-coated cannonball sambling, this is not good, she has guessed Yan Yi's mind, and now she is only more afraid of getting carried away.
"You still dare to quibble, I'll just say that Yan Yi likes you, you still don't believe it!" Xi Yu's voice was so loud that Zi Chu, who was eavesdropping on coffee behind him, choked, covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
Yijian found Zichu and immediately covered Xi Yu's mouth, "It's nothing, Xi Yu is joking, don't take it seriously, hehe.."
Despite how to cover it up, Zichu was still convinced, how could he miss such a powerful news, thinking that thirty-six plans were the best policy, and just about to turn back, he was pulled back by Xi Yu, "Chen Zichu, you know, if you say it, what will happen in the future, I can't guarantee it." Xi Yu shook her head, dragging Zi Chu's ears like a girl in the underworld, and her strange tone was half threatening, which sounded a little harsh.
Frightened, Zi Chu swallowed it back stiffly, holding his ear and shouting, "I will definitely not say it, I promise, Miss Xiyu, please let it go!" ”
After lunch, Xiyu still did not give up, and said that she took Yijian, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to go out to breathe, but in fact, it was the second step of her listening method - torture.
"Hurry up, do you agree?" Xiyu looked at Yijian with piercing eyes.
"Agree with what?" Yijian still pretended to be deaf and dumb, and his eyes were misty.
Xi Yu swooped up Yi Jian's hand and took a deep bite, Yi Jian received a distress signal from the sensory nerve response arc, and immediately withdrew his hand, "Ah~, Cheng Xiyu, you are still not human, my old injury has not healed, and a new disease has been added.."
"I'm serious." Xi Yu suddenly spit out a sentence with a serious expression.
Yes, biting Xiyu is serious, and it is more real than real gold, otherwise she would be so vicious to her when she is still a patient, "I know, I have something to say." Yijian put down his hand and continued, "I haven't thought about this matter yet."
Xiyu was surprised, "Why?" Didn't you like him before? At least that's what Xi Yu thinks in his heart.
"Hey~, I like Yan Yi, but my liking is not... That kind of like, you know? Anyway.. I don't know now, and I don't have the energy to fall in love! "Yijian's biggest concern now is Yiling's condition, as for the future, she really didn't think about it, if there is a stage in life, then the small goal of this stage is to complete the thing in front of her, she is not very smart, and she can't do different things half-heartedly at the same time.
Back at the Settlement Villa, Yijian habitually walked to the kitchen, picked up a rag and scrubbed the dishes in the sink, when suddenly a hand behind her grabbed her arm, and she had to turn to the man with too much force.
- An Chengxuan! What is he doing!
An Chengxuan frowned, his angry eyes glared at Yi Jian, and his voice was cold and low, "What are you doing?" ”
"I..." she was about to explain, but the rag in her hand was taken off by An Chengxuan and thrown on the glass platform, and then forcibly taken upstairs.
"I..."
An Chengxuan sat Yijian on the bed, looked down at her and said gently, "Don't you know that you are still sick." ”
Yijian lay on the bed helplessly, and An Chengxuan stood quietly on the edge of the bed, standing like a giant, looking down at her with his hands in his pockets, Yijian felt an invisible pressure, unable to turn a blind eye, so he had to close the door to recuperate.
Silence hung between them, and after a long time, An Chengxuan had no intention of leaving, and Yijian couldn't help but speak, "You stand like this... I can't sleep! ”
Hearing this, An Chengxuan straightened up, "I'll ask Mother Lin to cook something for you." ”
Yijian got up suddenly, "No, no!" In the past few days, Yijian has either drunk decoction or tonics, she is almost tired of nausea, and it is difficult to swallow it even if she thinks about it, since she was a child, it is the first time she has drunk so many supplements at one time.
"It's just lily pear soup, let you clear your lungs and moisten your throat!" An Chengxuan was made a little embarrassed by Yijian's shocked expression.
Yijian was immediately relieved, looking at him and couldn't help laughing, he frowned deeply in the past few days, it was the first time he smiled like this, Yijian looked at Chengxuan in a daze, and suddenly met his face, and opened his eyes a little helplessly.
"Sir, your coffee." Yi Jian looked up suddenly and saw An Chengxuan sitting in front of him, looking down at the newspaper in his hand, "You, why are you here?" ”
An Chengxuan said expressionlessly, "I'll drink coffee!" "Do you want him to say that I came to see you, An Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at her, "What time do you get off work?" ”
"I'll be able to get off work later." Yijian suddenly realized that something was wrong, and it seemed to make people wait to say this, so she immediately changed her words, "We get off work at six o'clock!" "But it all turned out to be the same feeling.
An Chengxuan glanced at her strangely and got up, "I'll wait for you in the car!" He took his coffee and walked outside.
He waited for her... What's going on?
Yijian waited until she got off work, secretly afraid that others would find out and got into An Chengxuan's car, when she wanted to speak, she saw An Chengxuan's quiet face, and looked at the road intently, she sank again, afraid of disturbing him, so she had to turn her eyes out the window.
Catching a glimpse of her obviously confused look, An Chengxuan slowly spoke, "I'll take you somewhere." ”
The car drove out of the most prosperous center of K City, and drove into the remote and narrow alley, because the intersection in front of him was too narrow to let his SUV in, An Chengxuan took Yijian out of the car and walked in. The alley is dark and long, with only one street lamp hanging on a telephone pole in the flickering light, and a few moths fluttering around the light like a flame. Yijian just looked around, accidentally stepped into the small pit, An Chengxuan supported Yijian, and then stretched out his hand to hold her, Yijian was stunned, and quickly retracted his hand, but he was not completely out of his hand, and was vigorously held back by him again, he couldn't resist, the road was dark, and it was not a bad thing to be led, so he had to follow An Chengxuan obediently and walk behind, sometimes looking up at his broad and reliable back.
Walking all the way like this, I turned around to the door of a seemingly abandoned factory, An Chengxuan stepped forward and opened the door, Yijian looked at it, it was empty, and the dim light revealed the vicissitudes of decadence, but the steel brick wall, mottled door shadow, whitewashed graffiti on the wall, and the sports equipment on the display made the abandoned house look like an artistic rush. Walking in, you can see the corridor and railing upstairs from the downstairs, the whole house is transparent and spacious, the two of them went straight up the steel staircase to the second floor, here is like a large bedroom with a living room, a round electric light above the head is shaking, there is an old blue broken skin refrigerator standing next to the wall, a leather sofa bed lying in the middle, the opposite side of the sofa is a gray cabinet, there is also an old era TV set on it, the stereo stands around, there are several rows of CDs and scattered magazines in it.
Cheng Xuan took Yi Jian to the sofa and sat down, went to the refrigerator to get two cans of coffee, opened them and handed them to Yi Jian.
"What is this place?" Yijian still couldn't hold back her curiosity.
Ahn Seung-hyun leaned against the railing, "This is where I lived when I was a child. ”
"When you were a child?"
"Well, I lived in this place when I was a child, with my mother, my dad, and Yiling, this is also the place where our An's business began, I remember that at that time, although our life was very busy and difficult, but the family of four was very happy and happy, and then our business gradually became bigger and bigger, and our career became more and more smooth." An Chengxuan's flickering eyes gradually dimmed.
An Chengxuan continued to recall, and couldn't help clenching his fists, "Until one time, my dad took over a project and went to a very remote mountain village, that day, it rained a lot, he went to the construction site to supervise the work, the mud splashed by the rain was very slippery, he accidentally fell from a height, and was severely unconscious due to the continuous bleeding, and was urgently sent to a small hospital in the town, but the hospital facilities were poor, and the doctor's medical skills were shallow, because my dad was a special RH negative blood type, the hospital mistakenly took a positive blood supply, As a result, my dad had an acute hemolytic reaction due to Rh blood group incompatibility during blood transfusion, and eventually all systems were diseased, and the whole body organs died of necrosis. ”
An Chengxuan turned around to prevent Yijian from seeing his strange expression, looked downstairs and continued, "My dad's sudden death hit our family very hard, and it took a long time for the whole family to come out of their grief, especially grandma, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and her heart was even more painful, which is why she is extremely protective of Yiling, because Yiling inherited my dad's blood type, and she was not in good health as soon as she was born, grandma doesn't want to lose Yiling like losing my dad." ”
Yijian listened carefully to Chengxuan's words, Yijian understood the pain of losing her loved ones, and could understand An Chengxuan's feelings very well, and also better understood the special family to Yiling, at this time he needed not to comfort, but to listen, so she just sat there quietly, motionless, her eyes stopped on An Chengxuan, and occasionally pondered.
After a while, An Chengxuan straightened up, walked to the sofa and sat on the floor, his head resting on Yi Jian's legs, Yi Jian retracted his thoughts, his frightened hand stopped in mid-air, his heart seemed to have an electric current passing through him, and he looked at him blankly.
An Chengxuan grabbed Yijian's hand and put it on his shoulder, "I know that Yiling is extreme and not very kind to you, but she is not bad in her heart, she is just spoiled by her family, afraid of loss, afraid of loneliness, so she will occasionally do some bad behaviors." ”
"I know.." Jane's eyes are lowered.
No, she didn't know, An Chengxuan thought, she didn't know how helpless and strange he felt every time Yiling hurt her, whenever this happened, he would secretly follow her behind to confirm whether she was hurt, which was one of the reasons why he agreed to study abroad so quickly. He understood Yiling's willfulness, but he couldn't blame her, because he always felt that he owed Yiling, and if he could, he would rather be the one who inherited his father's blood type.
"The wound on your hand...."An Chengxuan sat up suddenly, raised Yijian's sleeve, revealing a shallow scar, Yijian was stunned, and subconsciously covered his arm.
That day, Yijian came home from school, and An's mother had just returned from the mall and bought the same dress for Yiling and Yijian. Yiling was displeased, taking advantage of An's mother's absence, rushed to Yijian's room with scissors, tearing and cutting, Yijian went up to block, the two twisted together, Chengxuan rushed to the room, snatched the scissors, accidentally used too much force, pushed Yijian, the scissors in his hand slashed through Yijian's arm, and cut a hole hard, blood fell like fine beads, and the air condensed. It was also from that time that Yijian began to be a little afraid of An Chengxuan, and even "avoided it" everywhere.
"It's okay, I can't even see it!" Yi Jian seemed to be smiling, she didn't expect An Chengxuan to remember this incident.
"I'm sorry!" An Chengxuan looked sad, and looked at Yijian with apologetic eyes in deep and melancholy eyes.
Yijian suddenly smiled slightly, "Do you know, since you came back to the present, the most said thing to me is "I'm sorry!" ”。”
When An Chengxuan heard this, he also laughed, "You are not the same, since you arrived at our house, the sentence that has been said to me the most is the three words I just said!" ”
Both of them looked at each other's faces, as if there was a warm current passing through the magnetic field of the two of them from between the two, slowly bringing each other's hearts closer, and they couldn't help but remember An Chengxuan's sudden hug when they were in the hospital, and they turned their heads a little shyly, got up and walked to the fence, "It's beautiful here.."
"It was already auctioned, but I bought it back and transformed it into what it is now!"
"You changed it yourself?" Jane looked at him incredulously.
"That's right," An Chengxuan walked over and frowned, "What's the matter with your disbelieving eyes!" ”
"I didn't, huh.." She just didn't expect that the pampered young master of the An family would also do these fine work, and she was a little admired in her heart!
