"Sister Xi, you seem to know her very well?"

Jiang Qiao said with a smile, his eyes glancing at the dazzling array of snacks such as fruits and cakes on the table, thinking to himself that this is not going to do wholesale?

Cheng Ruoxi opened the steaming rice, scooped out a large mouthful of tomato brisket and put it in his mouth, winking with satisfaction.

"Hmm...... No, I just met this sister. Cheng Ruoxi tilted his head and said.

"Then why is she so kind to you? These fruit snacks are super premium at first glance, and they are not cheap. Ehashi rubbed his chin.

"My sister said that this was the hard work after cooperating with the investigation, and she also said that she wanted to make friends with me...... Don't talk about it, we can talk about it. Cheng Ruoxi said.

Jiang Qiao picked up an apple and nibbled on it, the taste is indeed top-notch:

"Making Friends...... I'm afraid that you will be sold by others and count the money for you. ”

Cheng Ruoxi squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hehe, isn't there still you staring...... How's it going, doesn't it taste good? You'll take them all home and eat them later. ”

"I don't want it, it's all for you."

"How can I eat so much, I'm going to waste it here."

Jiang Qiao couldn't resist her, so he nodded and agreed.

In this ward, there was no one else except a young woman playing with a mobile phone, and she was far away from Cheng Ruoxi.

Cheng Ruoxi was a little bored, so he turned on the TV in the room and watched it.

Jiang Qiao wrote the test paper on the side.

"Jiang Qiao, you missed a decimal point in the third question, look." Cheng Ruoxi's slender fingers reached out in front of Jiang Qiao's eyes and nodded on his test paper.

"Decimal ......" Jiang Qiao analyzed the question again and found an error: "It's true." ”

"Look." Cheng Ruoxi was a little proud.

"It's still Sister Xi's amazing." Jiang Qiao praised.

"That's," Cheng Ruoxi's eyes narrowed into a slit, this fart made her very comfortable, but she was soon lost again, "But I still can't catch up with this time." ”

Jiang Qiao comforted: "What's the matter, the doctor said that you are recovering quickly, and you may be able to be discharged from the hospital in another month." ”

"But there's less than a month left." Cheng Ruoxi said dejectedly.

Jiang Qiao was speechless for a while.

She continued: "Jiang Qiao, am I stupid, I can also wrestle while walking, and I fell to the hospital, will I be laughed at and ...... death?"

"Who dares to laugh at you, let him come to me, see that I don't teach him." Jiang Qiao put on a "fierce look" and looked like "I want to fight ten".

Cheng Ruoxi smiled: "Why are you so naïve." ”

As soon as she came out like this, her mood suddenly improved a lot.

At some point, language is perhaps the best firewood for a winter evening, and it heals the cold of the spirit.

Cheng Ruoxi continued to watch cartoons happily, while Jiang Qiao was concentrating on two things, thinking in his heart while writing the test papers, whether he could use that digestive magic to help Cheng Ruoxi recover better.

At this time, his ears moved.

After being nourished by the elements, his five senses were enhanced to a certain extent.

He heard a rush of footsteps, getting closer and closer.

These are two different footsteps, one from sharp heels and the other from sedate leather shoes, but they all have the same destination.

The entire corridor echoed with the sound of "puff and kick" footsteps, and even Cheng Ruoxi stopped and waited for something, as if he had some kind of premonition.

The footsteps stopped abruptly.

"Is this it?"

"The nurse said yes."

Jiang Qiao heard a whispered exchange.

Immediately after, high heels and leather shoes walked into the ward, it was a middle-aged couple, the man wore a pair of glasses and a black coat, and the woman wore a brown coat and a scarf, both of them looked tired.

"Xiaoxi ......" The woman locked on Cheng Ruoxi on the hospital bed at first sight, her eyes were red, her slightly pale lips moved slightly, and she threw herself on the hospital bed and hugged Cheng Ruoxi tightly in her arms.

"Mom, let go of ...... first," Cheng Ruoxi said.

"Good daughter, how can mom let you go......"

"It hurts, it hurts—" Cheng Ruoxi frowned and shouted.

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she immediately let go of her hand and stood helplessly: "Xiaoxi, did your mother hurt you?" ”

"You're knocking my tail vertebrae." Cheng Ruoxi complained while adjusting his posture.

"Xiaoxi, if you are uncomfortable, tell your mother, and your mother will find you the best doctor......" The middle-aged woman said with a distressed face.

"No, I'm fine...... Besides, is it useful to tell you? Cheng Ruoxi turned his face aside, obviously with some resentment.

Jiang Qiao looked at this scene, silently stepped aside, and after exchanging glances with the man who was also standing, he walked out of the ward.

......

It was nearly ten o'clock and the rain stopped.

Jiang Qiao got off the subway and walked on the way home.

He exhaled as he thought back to what had just happened.

He is very familiar with that couple, they are Cheng Ruoxi's parents, but they have lived for nearly 20 years, and they have only seen each other a handful of times.

From childhood to adulthood, they have lived most of their time in the chatter of Grandma Cheng Ruoxi.

It is said that they were busy, and both were experts in the archaeological team, either at the archaeological site or on the plane to the archaeological site.

In Sanxingdui in the morning, maybe in the evening to Mawangdui, sometimes fly abroad.

So, they didn't even see the last side of Grandma Cheng Ruoxi.

Disappointment continues to accumulate, and Cheng Ruoxi no longer has expectations.

Who would have thought that they would come back tonight.

Jiang Qiao vaguely remembered that the last time they came back seemed to be more than a year ago.

As the clouds thinned out, the tail of the moon appeared in the sky.

Following the trail of the moonlight, Jiang Qiao walked to the edge of a clearing.

There were a lot of weeds in the clearing, and there were several stout cement pipes against the wall, and in front of the cement pipes was a simple swing made of large tires.

When I was a child, Jiang Qiao, Cheng Ruoxi, and some children often came over to play, and playing was an afternoon.

It wasn't until the smoke in the alley choked people that they coughed, until the night called the earth and the mother called the children home, that the children would run home with the mud on their hands, and then they would be scolded by their respective mothers.

Only Jiang Qiao and Cheng Ruoxi know how to go home by themselves, because of their grandmother's inconvenient legs.

Later, when the children who lived in the alley grew up, they either moved away or disdained to play children's tricks anymore, and the vacant land gradually fell into disuse.

Only Jiang Qiao knew that every time she couldn't find Cheng Ruoxi, she would definitely sit on the swing here and swing until night.

Jiang Qiao didn't know when he had already sat on the swing, and the remaining rain made his buttocks cold. At this time, he understood Cheng Ruoxi's state of mind a few years ago.

The moon is so beautiful, but it's also really lonely.

He patted his wet ass and walked home.
