Chapter 11: Dawn - The Drunkard
Aunt Niu had surgery earlier than Jiang Limei, and she was discharged from the hospital early, Jiang Limei hadn't woken up that day, so she heard the squirming around her, it was Aunt Niu who was packing her things and packing her luggage. The nurse wanted to help, but Aunt Niu didn't let her, and the old lady was very stubborn, and she had to come by herself in a wheelchair.
Jiang Limei opened her eyes in a daze, and Aunt Niu was a little embarrassed: "Noisy girl, I was discharged from the hospital today, and I fell in love with my family when I was older, so I should clean up and go back early." ”
"It's fine." Jiang Limei opened her mouth, her throat was hoarse, and she sneezed one after another.
"Ah, got a cold?"
Jiang Limei was a little bit of a cold before the operation, the heavy snow and the sudden cooling, coupled with the unfamiliar environment of the hospital, the operation ended, and finally broke out.
The patients in the same ward got up one after another to wash.
Jiang Limei took the thermos cup to boil water and received a cup of boiling water, and then went to the nurse's station to borrow a thermometer, which showed that it was thirty-eight degrees Celsius and had a fever. The nurse can't give Jiang Limei cold medicine without authorization, and she has to wait for the doctors to see it when they make rounds.
Jiang Limei kicked the plush slippers back to the ward, only to feel that her whole body hurt, every joint was sore, and the taste was much more uncomfortable than the injured arm, and when she entered the ward, the bed next door was already empty. Aunt Niu is gone.
Jiang Limei was depressed from the bottom of her heart.
She had experienced many, many separations, one-sided escapes, or separations between the two parties, which should have been desensitized long ago. But people who are born with love seem to have their own curses, and they are destined to be imprisoned in love forever, even if they are in a relationship that gathers and scatters, it will still be difficult to escape pathos.
Jiang Limei held the thermos cup in both hands, took a sip of hot water, and suddenly heard someone shouting to her:
"Little ginger!"
Aunt Niu was sitting in a wheelchair, at the door of the ward, going and returning, holding a glass jar in her hand, and dangling towards Jiang Limei: "Iced cashew nuts, I see that you like to eat, let the old man of my family make some more, you keep it for food." ”
Jiang Limei took it, it was a whole jar full of weight, heavy.
She suddenly felt a little sore, but held back.
"Auntie, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital, can I leave a contact information with you?"
Aunt Niu was very happy, the two scanned WeChat, Aunt Niu's WeChat nickname is "Handsome Big Cow", and there is an emoji Niu Niu, Jiang Limei spoke out, and more and more felt that Aunt Niu was so cool.
"Xiao Jiang, you will recover as soon as possible, and then come to Auntie's house for dinner, my daughter is a few years older than you, and she is not married, although she lives by herself, she has to come back every weekend to eat, you will come back together, if you don't have a family in Ling City, you will come often."
Aunt Niu said, and suddenly patted her thigh:
"yes, it's the New Year soon, you want to go back to your hometown to see your parents, right?"
Jiang Limei put the glass jar into her bag preciously, pursed her lips and smiled, not missing a flaw: "...... Well, right. ”
。
It turns out that it's really coming up as the New Year. Thanks to Aunt Niu's reminder, Jiang Limei suddenly realized the acceleration of time.
At the end of the year, there is one festival after another, and the hearts of the people are loosened, like a stream reaching the ocean, and people can swing it with impunity, and then laugh:
What's the hurry, let's talk about it next year!
The whole world is waiting for the New Year, and the circle of friends is peaceful every day, only Jiang Limei is anxious.
The curatorial company's case had a little problem with communication.
Party A asked Jiang Limei's studio to give all the design elements of the product before the year, and after it was determined, the demo could be released after the year. There are 12 groups of design elements, corresponding to 12 exhibitions.
Jiang Limei is very confident in herself and the designers she recruited, 11 of which have been successfully determined, and there is only one group left, Party A has been dissatisfied, and the feedback given is: it does not match the tone of the exhibition, and there is a lack of connection.
Jiang Limei has long been surprised by this kind of specious opinion, it is nothing more than "not enough direction" and "it doesn't feel right", no matter how you say it, it makes sense.
She patiently explained to Party A's contact person that the theme of this exhibition was a Japanese animation, and she got the IP authorization of the animation author when the exhibition was held, but this does not mean that animation peripheral products can be produced, which is a very serious infringement and will be subject to lawsuits.
Jiang Limei thought about it, but she could only use some not-so-obvious IP elements to create again, to put it bluntly, playing a side game.
The most frustrating thing is that Party A's communication efficiency with the person is very slow, and I want to make an appointment with an online multi-person meeting to discuss it, but I can't make an appointment for a few days.
The other party was arrogant, yin and yang: "Our company has a lot of business, and your small studio is idle at the end of the year anyway, why are you in a hurry?" ”
Anger Wu Yu to hammer the air in the office:
"Jiang Limei, did you hear that? They said it's not in a hurry, that's not done, fuck it, and talk about it after the New Year. ”
Jiang Limei listened to the phone, Wu Yusi's throat split.
If it was before, she would be more rushed than Wu Yusi, after this hospitalization, I feel that I am in a Buddhist state, and I can still calm down and comfort Wu Yusi:
“...... That's it, they're not in a hurry, but we can't help but be in a hurry, it's hard to earn money, it's hard to eat, bear with it. ”
Ren Yu walked into the ward and saw Jiang Limei wearing black-framed glasses, nesting on the bed holding the computer and typing with one hand, stuffing a piece of potato chips into her mouth from time to time, squeaking and chewing.
She has lost a lot of weight in the past few days since she was admitted to the hospital, her already sharp chin has become thinner, and her shoulders are hanging down, as if a gust of wind can break it.
Jiang Limei raised her head from the computer screen, and when she saw Ren Yu, her first reaction was to hide the bag of potato chips in her hand behind her. It's as nervous as if I was stealing food in class when I was in school and being discovered by the teacher.
Ren Yu helped his glasses, pretended not to see it, and coughed lightly:
"I heard you have a fever."
Jiang Limei still had crumbs of potato chips at the corner of her mouth, she licked it, and smiled at Ren Yu:
"A little cold, it's all fine. I originally wanted to ask you to prescribe some cold medicine to take, but they said that you were on vacation, and I didn't want to go to Director Sun, so I just carried it. ”
“...... I'm on vacation. ”
"I know." Jiang Limei smiled: "They said that you should have taken a long time off to operate on me, right?" Thank you, Dr. Ren. ”
Became Dr. Ren again.
On the day of the operation, they tacitly stopped talking in the preparation room.
Jiang Limei touched the thermos cup, and the angry mist wet her eyelashes. She seems to understand everything, and she seems to be pretending to be confused about everything, Ren Yu can't understand her, but she can't help but approach again and again.
He sighed secretly in his heart: "No thanks, it's nothing." ”
Jiang Limei sat on the bed, it was low, and when she stared at him from the bottom up, she was like the orange cat at home begging for canned cats, ignorant and cunning:
"Doctor Ren, when will I be discharged?"
It turned out to be waiting for him here.
Looking forward to the operation before the operation, and looking forward to being discharged from the hospital after the operation, Director Sun means that now the bed is not tight, just stay for a few more days, if the wound is not healed, once the infection occurs after returning home, a second operation will be required.
Director Sun couldn't talk when he looked at it, so Jiang Limei thought about Ren Yu.
“...... Director Sun didn't speak, and I can't let you out of the hospital without permission. It is actually good to stay for a few more days, because there are many patients who go home and do not treat their wounds properly, which is more troublesome. ”
"But Doctor Ren, I can't eat or sleep well here, I'm really homesick."
There was a coquettish meaning in the tone.
Ren Yu choked up, avoided her eyes, and turned her head to see the bag of potato chips in her hand, and a plastic bag with a supermarket logo on the table, which contained all kinds of things, all kinds of snacks and drinks, and even canned beer.
Jiang Limei looked back along Ren Yu's line of sight, quickly blocked it with her body, and smiled awkwardly:
"Ah, I found it."
Wu Yusi, who is about to die, seems to have no common sense at all, how can he send wine to a patient who has just finished surgery, but he still has a hearty word, saying that Western medicine has no taboos, and the mood is the most important. When you are in a good mood, you will naturally heal quickly.
Jiang Limei raised her hands above her head and made an exaggerated gesture of surrender: "The ward is not allowed to drink, I know!" ”
Ren Yu was amused by her, her heart seemed to be scratched, and her face was still strong: "Eat less snacks, if you don't have an appetite to eat, your intake of nutrients will be insufficient, and your recovery will be slow." ”
He has seen it several times in a row, Jiang Limei always looks like she lacks appetite, and the boxed lunches delivered by the canteen on time are either just a few bites, or simply leave them as they are and give them to others.
"Although there is no need to follow the old saying, dietary therapy and supplementation, at least eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat regularly and quantitatively."
"The canteen of the hospital is not bad, although the taste is average, but the materials are good, and it is also light oil and light salt, if you can cook by yourself after being discharged, it is the best, and now it is difficult to choose takeaway."
Jiang Limei listened quietly, did not interrupt, and made the appearance of a good student, Ren encountered an occupational disease, and after talking for a long time, she didn't realize that she unconsciously accelerated her speech, and her tone became cold, turning into the appearance of giving a doctor's order on official business, and was finally interrupted by Jiang Limei's chuckle.
Jiang Limei folded the mouth of the potato chip bag a few times, sealed it, and threw it into a plastic bag.
"Doctor Ren, what are your hobbies?"
Is she really curious, is she a doctor who has time to cook by herself? Educate others one by one.
Ren Yu didn't keep up with her jumping thoughts, muttered for a few seconds, and replied, "...... I don't have much time off, reading books, exercising, or watching some American dramas......"
Ren Yu suddenly realized that he was really a very boring person.
Before he met Jiang Limei again, he had never thought of it like this.
"Oh, that's it......" Jiang Limei shrugged: "Does that doctor know how to cook?" ”
"I ...... Usually eat in the cafeteria. ”
"But I don't have a canteen to eat, and I'm usually very busy, so I don't have time to go home and cook. So ah Dr. Ren, I try to eat on time, as much as possible, as for takeout, I'll pick some light, okay? ”
Jiang Limei counted each one: "Don't drink, don't smoke, stay up late, exercise more, play less with mobile phones, and sleep more." Right? Anything else? ”
Ren Yu didn't expect the topic to develop like this.
Jiang Limei is like coaxing people, she has magical abilities, she is obviously in a weak position, but she has no weak posture at all, leading the topic, so that he can do nothing but respond obediently.
Ren Yu nodded confusedly.
In response to him, Jiang Limei laughed. She shook her shoulders and giggled with a giggler: "Doctor Ren, you know that what I just said is nine times out of ten that you can't do, right?" ”
Modern! Anyone can do it all!
Ren Yu pursed his lips and couldn't see his expression:
"I know, just try to do it."
During the time Jiang Limei was hospitalized, she almost lived an isolated life, except for the patients in the same ward, Ren Yu was the one she saw the most.
More and more, she felt that twins were really magical.
In the past, when she fell in love with Ren Xun, she complained to her college roommate, Ren Xun has a wonderful artist personality, and she is free to do anything, but she is aggressive and possessive, like some kind of acid dye, she is contaminated and corroded, and she can no longer leave him.
The same parents, but Ren Yu is like ...... A pool of lake water that never has waves.
She guessed that even if she threw a firecracker into it, she couldn't make a splash, and Ren Yu seemed to be always in her own spectrum, following her own logic, not affecting others, and not letting others affect her.
Jiang Limei was discharged from the hospital two days later.
Ling City is so big, if you don't have the heart, it will be difficult to meet it again, on the day of hospitalization, she wanted to say hello to Ren Yu, thank you for the care these days, but she was told by other doctors that Dr. Ren went to the assessment meeting and was not in the hospital.
Huang Youhui knew that they were friends, so he reminded: "You can send WeChat to Senior Brother." ”
But where did WeChat come from?
Jiang Limei realized that she had no contact information at all.
She gave Ren Yu a mobile phone number, but she never received a friend application.
Ren Yu didn't add her.
Jiang Limei had no choice but to spread her hands and leave this matter behind.
。
It's the end of the year in the blink of an eye.
The communication with Party A on the project was still not smooth, Wu Yusi learned from the pain, and finally agreed with Jiang Limei's statement - this kind of fragmented order, it is better not to accept it, not to mention how much money you make, and the manpower and energy consumed are too great.
All the employees of the studio have a lot of complaints about this Party A. Wu Yusi and Jiang Limei, as the bosses, wanted to appease the employees, so they took the opportunity of Christmas to charter a booth in a nightclub and take everyone to play together.
When WeChat rang, Jiang Limei didn't hear it, she was frowning and looking at the people in the music in a daze.
For the first time, she took a serious look at the problem of her "age", this nightclub had just opened, the sound and atmosphere were very good, but she couldn't enjoy it at all, she only felt that her chest hurt, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
I didn't deliberately dress up today, it was a normal commuting outfit, an apricot knit sweater, milky white velvet wide-leg pants, just to get a little bit of Christmas excitement, I changed to a watch with a jujube dial. Rao is such an outfit also attracted a few men who came to ask for contact information.
She picked the eye-pleasing one, and when she looked at her phone again, Ren Yu's friend application was lying in the middle of a column of applications.
Ren Yu's nickname is Ren Yu, and his avatar is also clean, which is particularly conspicuous in the bells and whistles.
Jiang Limei agreed first, and then poked into the circle of friends, but there is nothing worth peeping in the circle of friends, the background picture is the system comes in, and the access rights are visible for three days.
Boring.
She was about to put her phone down when a dialog box popped up.
Ren Yu: [Outside?] ]
Jiang Limei subconsciously pushed the beer bottle away.
Inexplicably, it's a feeling of being caught.
Ren Yu: [The hospital has a rule that doctors are not allowed to add the WeChat of patients or family members, I know that you have been discharged from the hospital, you had a meeting a few days ago, and you have been busy. ]
He's explaining.
Jiang Limei thought it was funny, there was no such person among her friends, gentle, axial, to put it mildly, a little ...... Dead Eye.
[Is Dr. Ren also outside?] ]
It shows that it is typing, and I receive a reply after a while:
Ren: [I'm at home.] ]
Ren Yu: [I guess you'll be going out today, drink less, don't be too late, and stay safe.] ]
Jiang Limei pursed her lips and looked left and right, safe.
Wu Yusi was already high, squeezed to Jiang Limei's side and sat down with vain steps, and snatched the mobile phone: "Yo, Doctor Ren, who, you still hooked up with the doctor?" ”
"The attending physician when I was in the hospital." Jiang Limei leaned lazily: "It's also my ex-boyfriend's brother, twin brother." ”
"Ex-boyfriend? Which ex-boyfriend do you have? ”
After they met, Wu Yusi knew every love history of Jiang Limei. But Jiang Limei shook her head: "You don't know, what happened when I was in school." ”
"Mom, first love."
Jiang Limei nodded.
"Shhh...... Does it look alike? ”
"Twins, don't you think they look like them?"
"Then you have been in the hospital and have been facing a face exactly like your ex-boyfriend, won't you be insane? Won't there be hallucinations? Wu Yusi thought it was too much to believe.
Jiang Limei thought for a moment: "Occasionally, but ...... OK. ”
Fortunately, Ren Yu and Ren Xun are different everywhere except for their faces.
The phone vibrates again.
Ren Yu: [You're busy, I don't have anything else to do.] ]
Ren Yu: [I remember that my arm will be rechecked once a month, and it will be good to hang the orthopedic outpatient clinic, and Director Sun will sit in the clinic every Wednesday morning.] ]
Jiang Limei thought about teasing him: [Can't you hang your number?] ]
It took a long time to return,
Renyu: [Yes, I have every afternoon except Wednesday and Friday.] ]
Jiang Limei thought back to his schedule, doing ward rounds in the morning and outpatient clinics in the afternoon, so it seemed really busy.
[Okay, I remember.] Dr. Ren, can I take a look at your cat? ]
She has always been curious, what kind of cat would anyone with such a blandness raise?
It is estimated that he has no personality, gentle, slow, and has a sense of distance from people, just like any encounter.
The photo was sent quickly, and it was taken by Ren Yu sitting on the ground. Jiang Limei zoomed in and zoomed in, and finally saw a fluffy mass in the corner of the photo. It was a very fat orange cat, yellow and white, hiding in a smoky gray curtain, nesting in a ball, sleeping soundly.
Ren Yu: [The floor heat by the window is extremely hot, and it likes to sleep there.] ]
Really.
The orange cat's tail is circled, covering its own tail, and it looks like it doesn't care about the world.
Jiang Limei laughed, her nails tapping on the screen:
[What's his name?] ]
Wu Yusi drank a little too much, and couldn't find her bag in a daze, so she beckoned to Jiang Limei and asked her to help find it and go out to sober up.
Jiang Limei scolded Wu Yusi for being unproductive, and helped her out of the house.
This street is full of bars and restaurants, every tree is decorated with colorful lights, and the next door is broadcasting all i want for Christmas is you, the Christmas atmosphere is romantic, and the exhaled breath turns into white mist.
Ren Yu didn't reply for a long time.
I don't know how to get back.
Fortunately, Jiang Limei didn't ask, it seemed that she was just chatting, and it didn't matter if it stopped abruptly.
The orange cat slept enough, opened his eyes, arched his body and stretched, and walked slowly towards Ren Yu, without stopping, going around in a circle, and eating by himself.
Ren Yu also stood up and went to add cat food.
The cat food bowl is ceramic, and last year Huang Youhui traveled to JDZ and brought gifts to everyone, and what he brought to Ren was a hand-fired ceramic bowl.
"Senior brother, I made it myself, it's troublesome to burn pottery."
He held up a small bowl to show Ren Yu the pattern on it, a cat head, and a name:
"Your cat is a dignified boy, is it appropriate for you to name it Rose? Would he like to? ”
Ren Yu did not answer.
The cat eats very well, and the sound of squeaky chewing cat food is amplified by the empty room, and the WeChat prompt sound is also amplified:
[Merry Christmas, Dr. Ren.] ]
Ren Yu laughed.
