Chapter 78: Fake Public and Private
Zhong Yu didn't feel too relieved about Ji Xueli's invitation to dinner.
Because she is like an arrow, she can't wait to go home.
When she used to live with her mother, the Song family was involved, and she could only find sugar in the cinders.
Later, when I went to university, my studies were too heavy and too far away, and I had more than enough energy to do it.
The real comfortable days are still after my mother's divorce.
It's a pity that she didn't enjoy it at home for a few days, and she tossed it to Guangzhou again.
No matter how outstanding her external abilities are and how independent she is spiritually, home is always the softest part of her heart.
She hadn't bought a train ticket for the return trip yet, and she wasn't sure when she would be home, so she simply didn't call her family to inform her.
She had to clean the house and cover the large pieces of furniture with dust covers.
I don't know when I'll come over next time, so I always have to clean up.
Most of her luggage was mailed back, and she left with a backpack.
No one walked with her, so it was better to travel lightly.
Zhong Yu tidied up all afternoon, and he didn't feel the hard work at all.
When Ji Xueli came to pick her up, he saw that she was clean inside and outside the house, and frowned dissatisfiedly:
"This dust cover is so big, it's too hard for you to put it on your own."
Zhong Yu was not squeamish, she smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I'll do it slowly alone."
Ji Xueli was annoyed that he was late, and Zhong Yu didn't know what he was thinking, so he invited him into the house, poured a glass of boiled water and handed it to him.
"I don't have any tea at home, so you can drink some boiled water."
Ji Xueli took the cup and said with a light smile:
"I don't usually have time to taste tea, so I drink plain water."
Although it was the first time he came to Zhong Yu's house, he did not have the slightest restraint, looked around the room, and said pertinently:
"Although this house is not very big, it is enough for a family of three."
Zhong Yu said truthfully:
"My house in Haishi is not as big as here, but I am very happy to live with my mother and brother."
Ji Xueli didn't know anything about Zhong Yu's family situation, and when she heard that she didn't mention her father, she was curious:
"Won't your father live with you?"
Zhong Yu shook his head, and said with nostalgia on his face:
"My dad passed away when I was eight years old, and he would be relieved to know that I'm doing well."
Her eyes were a little gloomy, and Ji Xueli blamed herself.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhong Yu smiled again and said:
"I'm relieved now, I have my mom and brother by my side, and I can do what I like, that's enough."
Zhong Yu is content and cherishes everything in the moment, she has no time to feel sorry for herself, and she does not allow herself to remember her father for too long.
People always have to move forward, and it is useless to stagnate or reminisce about the past.
Ji Xueli was really relieved to see her, so he was not entangled.
"If nothing else, let's go eat."
Zhong Yu nodded and agreed, she always maintained sincerity and never twisted when she got along with gay men, nor did she deliberately create a certain image, and she was always honest and generous with herself.
Zhong Yu is the first time to sit in Ji Xueli's car, she has no research on the car, looking at the model is like an off-road vehicle, although I don't know what brand it is, but it looks more expensive than Chu Jianwen's.
She wanted to sit in the back seat, but Ji Xueli took the lead in opening the co-pilot's door and invited her to get in the car.
Zhong Yu smiled and didn't like to soothe him, and got into the car and sat down.
Ji Xueli has long hands and feet, and it is indeed very suitable for this car.
The car door closed, and the small space was closed, and the two did not speak, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Zhong Yu was the first to break the silence and asked, "Didn't Director Ji say before that he had a question to ask me?" What kind of problem is it? ”
That's just an excuse, Ji Xueli naturally won't tell her the truth, he doesn't want the two to only discuss work when they get along, so he said in a gentle voice:
"Originally, I wanted to ask you for advice, but the patient couldn't wait, so I checked the information myself, and now it has been dealt with."
Zhong Yu was a little disappointed when she heard this, so what topic should she find, without waiting for her to worry, Ji Xueli said softly:
"When I sent the tenth to the chief, the chief was shocked to see his face, he highly praised your plastic surgery skills, and said on the spot that he would give you a commendation."
Zhong Yu didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this matter, she said modestly:
"Since I have taken over the task, I should do my best to complete it, and I am very satisfied to be praised by the chief."
Ji Xueli knew that she was not clear about the organization, so he deliberately broke it and said to her:
"The reward is nothing more than giving out some bonuses, this is not important, it is rare that you can be listed in front of the chief, which means that you will have more opportunities to show your strength."
Zhong Yu suddenly realized that he was a little puzzled, "Is Director Ji so optimistic about me?" ”
Ji Xueli's hand holding the steering wheel tightened, and he said casually:
"Because you have a delicacy that male doctors don't have, and you have excellent skills, and you are a good seedling who does your best for the country and the people, I am not only optimistic about you, but also want to retain you as a talent for the hospital."
Ji Xueli thought about her, so she had to find a way to pave the way for her, and there were some things she couldn't think of, he had to take care of her.
But he also knows that Zhong Yu has a cautious personality and is not a person who can rashly accept a new relationship, he doesn't want to die before he gets out of school, so he can only take the way of boiling a frog in warm water to take it slowly.
Anyway, he had enough patience to nurture her, so why rush for a while.
Zhong Yu thought of his career experience and deeply understood that he was a person with a sense of the overall situation.
She said sincerely: "Thank you Director Ji for your attention, I will do my best to live up to your good intentions."
Ji Xueli didn't want her to see her like this, but she couldn't resort to it, so she had to say helplessly:
"You work hard, don't think too much, there is no obstacle for you here at the General Hospital of the Military Region."
Zhong Yu nodded, she would have been at a loss before, but now after listening to Director Ji's words, her heart is inexplicably steady.
The place where Ji Xueli invited him to eat was a little remote, and the vehicle drove for more than half an hour to arrive.
As soon as I got out of the car, Zhong Yu looked around curiously, this restaurant is a garden-style decoration, and it looks like a private residence.
There was a waiter leading the way in front, Zhong Yu couldn't help but ask quietly:
"Director Ji, it should cost a lot of money to eat a meal here."
Ji Xueli looked calm, and said with a light smile:
"It's really not cheap, it's a private restaurant, and the number of guests you can serve every day is limited, so you have to make a reservation in advance."
Zhong Yu felt that this meal was a little too extravagant, but she couldn't say anything when she came.
After following the waiter around a rockery, I saw the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, and I inexplicably had the illusion of being in the south of the Yangtze River.
The two didn't stay long, and when they entered the box, Zhong Yu glanced at Ji Xueli meaningfully, and became a little curious about his net worth background.
Ji Xueli couldn't help but be a little apprehensive when she looked at her like that, and without waiting for the waiter to go out, he asked:
"What's wrong, what's wrong or don't like it here?"
Zhong Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Director Ji took me to such a good place with a lot of money, how could I not like it, I just think it's too expensive."
Ji Xueli breathed a sigh of relief, his slender fingers picked up the teacup and handed it to her, and explained softly:
"I don't have any hobbies other than work, I've worked for so many years, and I've accumulated some savings, so I won't have too much pressure to come here to eat, by the way, can you hear my accent?"
Zhong Yu smiled and said: "This is not difficult for me, I went to college in the capital for eight years, how can I not hear that you are from the capital."
Ji Xueli also smiled, he nodded and said:
"I am indeed from the capital, my father and two older brothers are both public officials, I am the youngest, and there are no heavy burdens for me to pick up at home, so I can do whatever I like."
Zhong Yu nodded clearly, she just thought it was small talk, and she didn't ask the bottom of it.
Ji Xueli was a little disappointed, and originally planned to say a few more words so that Zhong Yu could understand him more, but it was obvious that she was not interested.
He took out a train ticket from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu took it in confusion, and when he saw the words on it clearly, he said with a curious face:
"Director Ji, you bought a soft sleeper ticket from Guangzhou to Haishi, are you going to Haishi?"
Ji Xueli shook his head and explained:
"This is a ticket for you, and it's also a coincidence, I met an old friend when I sent someone back, he changed jobs and went to the railway department, thinking that you may not be able to buy a ticket for the day when you go to the station tomorrow, so I simply asked him to buy it for you."
Zhong Yu was full of surprise with a face full of surprise with a ticket?
"Thank you Director Ji for your help, how much does this ticket cost? I'm here to give you money, and I can't let you break the bank. ”
Ji Xueli drank tea elegantly and said casually:
"Have you forgotten that your travel expenses are reimbursable? I have an invoice here, just help you go back to the unit for reimbursement when the time comes, you don't have to give it to me. ”
Zhong Yu said embarrassedly: "That's really troublesome Director Ji."
Ji Xueli put down the teacup and said seriously:
"If you really don't want to go, just tell me your home phone number so that I can discuss problems with you at any time, and you know that I have no hobbies other than work."
Zhong Yu heard the most from Chu Jianwen what Ji Dashen was doing, which shows that his image of a workaholic has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Ji Xueli saw Zhong Yu's smiling eyebrows, and his mood got better for no reason, so he said inch by inch:
"We're friends now, aren't we?"
Zhong Yu nodded, and said as a matter of course: "How can it not be counted, I am both a colleague and a friend to talk to."
The corners of Ji Xueli's mouth, which had advanced smoothly, rose, and he said unhurriedly:
"Then you leave a phone number for me, in case there is a case you are interested in in the hospital, I can notify you in time, and the dean will also leave me in charge of contacting you."
His obviously fake public and private thoughts, and no one came to expose it.
Zhong Yu did not doubt him, took out a pen and paper from his bag, and wrote down his home phone number delicately.
"Nanshan Hospital is also very busy, I usually don't have much free time, whether I can get a call depends on luck."
Ji Xueli frowned, "What if there is an emergency to find you?" I'll follow up on the Tenth, and maybe I'll get you in trouble. ”
This was a matter of importance, and Zhong Yu wrote another string of numbers after the number.
"This is the hospital office phone, if you don't receive the phone at home, you can try this number, someone should help call me during my time in the hospital."
Ji Xueli achieved his goal, took her note, and glanced at the pocket that he solemnly put in his chest.
The waiter served the food to the table, and Ji Xueli naturally arranged the dishes and chopsticks for her.
He did these little things, flowing gracefully and naturally, and Zhong Yu didn't notice anything wrong.
Ji Xueli said while serving the soup:
"This is yam and poria cocos pigeon soup, the proprietress is a specialty dish, nourishing the body, you have been exerting a lot of energy recently, you want to drink more."
Zhong Yu took the soup bowl he handed over, smelled the fresh taste, and gently scooped up a spoonful.
Ji Xueli instructed uneasily: "Don't be in a hurry to drink, the soup is too hot, blow it cold first."
Zhong Yu tilted his head and smiled, "Director Ji, don't worry, I'm not a child, I will take care of myself." ”
Ji Xueli teased: "I am practicing for you on behalf of the dean, if I don't take care of you, I'm afraid that the dean will trouble me."
Zhong Yu complained vaguely: "I'm not a giant panda."
Ji Xueli just peeled a prawn, naturally put the shrimp meat in her bowl, wiped his hands with a towel and said:
"You're much more valuable than a panda."
Zhong Yu felt like she was being cared for, and since her father died, it had been a long time since a man had taken such good care of her.
She glanced up at Ji Xueli, the light happened to shine on his angular side face, which looked softer than before, and she subconsciously didn't think about it.
Ji Xueli didn't seem to see her looking, and said in a low and pleasant voice:
"Before leaving, the dean told me to let me put you on the train tomorrow morning and then go back to the hospital."
Zhong Yu was embarrassed to trouble him, so he hurriedly shook his head and refused.
"I'm going to take the train at four o'clock tomorrow morning, it's too early, how can I trouble Director Ji so much."
Ji Xueli put down his chopsticks, deliberately pulled down his face and said unhappily:
"You said it yourself, we are both colleagues and friends, your family is not around, I should take more care of you, if you see me like this, that is, you don't treat me as a friend, or you have asked someone else to send you?"
As he said his last words, his eyes behind his frames glistened with cold.
Zhong Yu hurriedly denied it, and she laughed:
"I just got the ticket from you, how could I have time to ask someone to send it."
Hearing this, Ji Xueli persuaded in a soft tone:
"The dean is not worried that you will go alone, let me send you he will also feel at ease, the station is mixed with dragons and snakes, you are a young girl who is easy to be targeted, it is better to be cautious."
Zhong Yu inexplicably remembered the news of various abduction and trafficking of women and children at the station.
Since Ji Xueli is full of sincerity, she will no longer refuse.
"Then I'll trouble Director Ji tomorrow morning!"
Ji Xueli had a satisfied smile on his face, and he said gently:
"Don't be polite to me, I have my own car, and it won't take much time to pick you up."
Zhong Yu didn't say anything more, sometimes he was too polite but showed unfamiliar and polite.
The two talked about other topics, and the meal lasted more than an hour before it ended, and when I went back, I felt that my stomach was a little supportive.
After Ji Xueli drove her back, she walked around the living room and bedroom several times before eating.
She got up before dawn the next day, and as soon as she had washed up, she heard a knock on the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Ji Xueli standing at the door with breakfast, and he said with a calm expression:
"I deliberately set off half an hour early to buy you breakfast, you eat at home first before leaving, time is in time, don't be in a hurry."
He thought really thoughtfully, Zhong Yu smiled gratefully, he was not afraid of itching if there were more lice, and if he owed more favors, his face would be thicker.
After the two of them had breakfast and packed up and got into the car, Ji Xueli brought her another bottle of milk.
Zhong Yu couldn't cry or laugh, this was taking care of her as a child.
She sucked the milk along the way and didn't say much.
When he arrived at the train station, Zhong Yu picked up his backpack and got off the train, but when he turned around, he saw Ji Xueli taking out a suitcase from the trunk.
Zhong Yu bit the straw, his face full of doubts, "Director Ji, what are you doing?" ”
Ji Xueli explained: "There are snacks I prepared for you in the suitcase, as well as a set of cotton clothes, the temperature in Guangzhou is high, but it is only about five degrees in Haishi, you will definitely be cold when you get off the train in such clothes."
Zhong Yu patted his head and said with a smile:
"I didn't think about the temperature difference at all, I was really busy and confused, thanks to Director Ji's thoughtfulness."
Ji Xueli didn't care and said: "If you don't think about it, someone can take it into account, don't think that my cotton clothes don't look good, I don't have much experience, you will wear them."
Zhong Yu didn't want to be frozen, and he couldn't refuse a piece of his heart, so he said gratefully:
"It's okay if the cotton clothes can keep out the cold, and I believe in Director Ji's vision."
She will praise people in disguise, the corners of Ji Xueli's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes were full of joy.
