His clothes were stained with blood, and he called for them to be delivered, and then went to the bathroom for a brief wash. He still has business to deal with, but because of this sudden car accident, he has no mind to deal with it and pushes everything to tomorrow.

After washing, he smoked a few cigarettes on the balcony before he turned around and looked at the house that Jian Yi rented. It is not a large two-bedroom living room, and the furnishings are simple and neatly tidy. There was a vase on the table beside it, and a few flowers were already withering. The cold wind blew the light purple curtains and fluttered, but he didn't seem to feel the cold, until the cigarette in his hand burned out, and he threw the cigarette butt into the living room.

Jian Yi was still asleep in the room, a rare time for him at this moment, and he looked at her through the soft light of the bedside lamp. Her hair was loose, and her forehead was smooth. The two crow-winged eyelashes fell a shallow shadow under her eyelids, and at this moment she was without the panic and helplessness she had just now, and her face was as pure as a baby.

Zhou Qi raised his hand uncontrollably and gently brushed away the black hair scattered on his cheeks. He didn't make any moves, just stared at her quietly, and only turned off the light gently after a while.

In the second half of the night, Jian Yi slept unsteadily, she drank too quickly, her stomach burned so hot, she couldn't help but want to vomit, but she couldn't vomit anything. After tossing for a long time, I fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know if it was a nightmare or something, but I didn't sleep long before I started sobbing again. Zhou Qi held her in his arms and gently patted and soothed, and her emotions gradually stabilized and she fell asleep deeply.

When she woke up the next morning, Zhou Qi had already gone to buy breakfast, her face was pale and her spirit was not good, and he said, "I didn't sleep well last night, so please take a day off and rest for a day." ”

Jian Yi didn't want to be left alone, so she shook her head and said no. She didn't have much appetite for breakfast, so she ate a few bites indiscriminately and didn't eat any more.

Knowing that she couldn't drive today, Zhou Qi waited for her to go out together. was going to drive her to the company, but Jian Yi refused, saying that he could just take a taxi to the company.

Zhou Qi had a meeting this morning, and when he saw that she refused to go together, he didn't insist anymore, so he asked her to call her if she had something, and saw her get into a taxi, so he drove away.

Her mental state was so bad that as soon as she arrived at the company, a colleague asked her if she was unwell. Jian Yi shook his head and squeezed out a smile and said no.

The car accident was in the morning newspaper, and later in the evening, a colleague read the newspaper and saw her car in the picture, and they all hurried over to ask her if she was scared. This tragedy is embarrassing, especially the infant child and the grief-stricken husband, who can't help but cry.

No matter how painful the tragedy was, it was just a sigh for outsiders, and it was soon blown away like the wind. Jian Yi, the person who witnessed the tragedy, couldn't get out for a while, and was listless for several days. The car didn't drive anymore, and they all took a taxi or took the subway to commute to work.

That evening, when she came out of work, she saw Zhou Qi standing at the door smoking, he didn't call her, but it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

When he saw her, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, greeted him calmly, and said, "It's time to get off work." ”

Jian Yi nodded, mumbled, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zhou Qi raised his eyes to look at her, she stood calmly and quietly, with a little distracted gloom between her eyebrows. He quickly withdrew his gaze and said, "The young mother's funeral is over, do you want to meet the baby?" ”

Jian Yi didn't expect him to come over for this, so he stood dumbfounded for a while, and then nodded lightly.

Zhou Qi made an appointment with the young father, and the death of his wife hit him hard. Overnight, his black hair turned white, and he was more than ten years old.

Jian Yi and Zhou Yi had already arrived when they arrived, holding the little one who was still sleeping in swaddling clothes. When he saw the two of them enter, he immediately stood up and greeted them politely and gratefully.

When Jian Yi saw the little guy in his arms, his heart swelled with sourness.

Several people quickly sat down, and the young father thanked Zhou Qi. Thank you to him for fulfilling his wife's wish before she left, and for allowing him to say the last few words to her.

His voice choked up several times, and it took a while to calm down, and he wanted to toast Zhou with a cup of tea instead of wine. His parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, who were devastated by his wife's death, had nowhere to speak of his pain, and told Jian Yi in front of the two strangers, Zhou Qi, about his acquaintance with his wife.

Both of them are in the system, have stable jobs, and make an appointment to let their parents take them for a while after the child is older and weaned, and they make an appointment to travel by car. But it can no longer be achieved.

After his wife left, he didn't plan to start a new family, he just wanted to raise the children healthy and safe.

Zhou Qitong and Jian Yi are not good at comforting people, and both of them listened silently. Zhou Qi wanted to smoke several times, but saw that the child still did not smoke in the end. It wasn't until the dishes came up one after another that a few people began to eat.

At the end of the meal, the child's father thanked him again and drove away, and when he left, Zhou Qi gave him a business card and asked him to call him if he was in trouble.

His wife is an only child, and the burden of children and old people will be on him in the future, and I don't know if he will be able to hold it.

The two stood there until the car disappeared into the traffic, and then they withdrew their gaze.

Jian Yi thought of the little baby's pink and tender face, and her heart was heavy. He was born without a mother, and he will not be accompanied by his mother when he grows up in the future. I don't know if he can understand his mother's reluctance and reassurance before he leaves.

"Let's go." Zhou Qi looked up at the drizzling sky and said softly.

When they came, there was no space in the parking lot here, and the car was parked in the parking lot at the intersection in front of them. The two walked silently all the way. Zhou Qi knew that Jian Yi was uncomfortable, and said: "Don't worry, I will let people pay attention to them, and if there is anything that needs help, I will help." When the children go to school or have other things, I will also ask people to help. ”

He remembered the gentle smile that the mother had seen when she saw the picture of her child before she died, and the depression in his chest could not be dissipated, and he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it with a lighter, and smoked it as he walked.
