It was still raining the next morning, and the world was hazy.

Sang Ping called Jiang Jianyue to go to the supermarket, and when she came back, when she passed by the garden of the Xie family's bungalow, she found Paramela parked on the side of the road.

Jiang Jianyue hesitated for a moment, and then heard a voice from the garden: "Jiang Jianyue." ”

She looked up and saw Xie Xing's hair wet, and he changed into light-colored casual clothes and walked out.

Before she could speak, Sang Ping opened her mouth first: "Xiao Xie, is your mother okay?" ”

Xie Xingqian replied politely: "It's no big deal, you need to stay in the hospital for a few days." ”

"That's good," Sang Ping looked at her daughter and took over the food she bought, "You talk to Xiao Xie, I'll go back first." ”

Jiang Jianyue nodded: "Okay." ”

As soon as Sang Ping left, Xie Xingqian came down from the steps, put the garbage bag at the gate of the courtyard, and raised his eyes to look at her: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Jiang Jianyue: "Of course. ”

Xie Xingqian smiled: "It seems that I am the only one who has insomnia." ”

It's hard not to let Jiang Jianyue think about it a lot.

But she didn't ask why she had insomnia, and gently brushed the topic over: "Have you done this morning's check-up?" ”

"It's done, come back and take a shower," Xie Xingqian looked at his watch, "I made some soup for my mother, and I'll have to send it to her later." ”

Jiang Jianyue frowned: "You don't rest and rest?" ”

Xie Xingqi: "My stepfather should be almost there, and I will come back to rest when he is in the hospital in the afternoon." ”

Jiang Jianyue said, "I'll go with you." ”

Xie Xingqian looked at her for two more seconds and smiled: "Then you help me turn on the air conditioner." ”

He gave Jiang Jianyue the car keys and went back to the house to serve the soup.

Jiang Jianyue got into the car and turned on the air conditioner, opened the window and waited for him, and after a while, Xie Xingqian came out with a thermos bucket.

Along the way, neither of them mentioned the topic of last night, and soon arrived at the second courtyard.

The hospital is crowded during the day, and the inpatient department is also the busiest time. When the two arrived at the door of the ward, they found two people, one big and one small, standing next to Zhu Lihua's bed.

Xie Xingqian stopped at the door.

In the ward, Zhu Lihua was touching the little boy's head very dotingly: "Our Chenchen is awesome, we can actually get up at six o'clock." ”

The little boy lay on the head of the bed, staring at the medicine in the infusion tube, asking questions.

The man asked, "What about the diaphragm?" ”

Zhu Lihua: "He stayed all night, and I asked him to go back and rest for a while." ”

Jiang Jianyue turned his head to look at Xie Xingqi, his expression was as flat as ever, and he stopped at the door for a while, and then walked in.

"Uncle Guan, Chenchen, you've arrived." He put the thermos down and said, "Mom, I've made some soup for you." ”

"The diaphragm is here." Guan Wenshan moved out of the way, turned around and saw Jiang Jianyue again.

He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This is Xingqi's girlfriend, hello." ”

Jiang Jianyue understood that this should be Zhu Lihua's current husband, "Hello uncle." ”

Zhu Lihua was very happy to see Jiang Jianyue coming to see her again: "Yueyue sit down." ”

Guan Wenshan spoke: "Guan Mingchen, call someone." ”

The little boy was about seven years old, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Xie Xingqi, and he was looking at Jiang Jianyue curiously: "Who are you?" ”

"You kid," Guan Wenshan patted his son's head lightly, "My sister is your brother's girlfriend, call someone quickly." ”

"Wow, girlfriend, I know!" The child tilted his head, staring at Xie Xingqi's eyes, which was quite precocious like a big child eating melons, "Are you going to get married in the future?" ”

Xie Xingqian lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

Guan Wenshan's tone was helpless and doting: "Let you call someone and talk so much." What about my brother, why don't you call my brother, haven't you been talking about it in Beijing? ”

Xie Xingqian looked at the little boy with gentle eyes.

Guan Mingchen's child was immediately diverted and leaned towards Xie Xingqi: "Brother, you said that you came back to play your previous game for me." ”

Guan Wenshan's volume increased: "Guan Mingchen." ”

Xie Xingqian smiled faintly and touched his head, "I'll look for it when I get back and find it for you to play with." ”

The morning examination had been done, and several people chatted in the ward and accompanied Zhu Lihua to finish eating.

At half past eleven, another patient who had just been admitted to the ward came to the ward, accompanied by family members, and all of a sudden, the space became cramped.

Xie Xingqian looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Mom, Uncle Guan, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do here." ”

Hearing this, Guan Mingchen, who was playing games with Guan Wenshan's mobile phone, quickly raised his head.

Guan Wenshan: "Do you want to go downstairs for a meal together?" ”

Xie Xingqi: "No, I'm a little sleepy, I want to catch up on sleep when I go back to eat, and I have to go back to the Southern District at night." ”

Zhu Lihua said gently: "Then you go back to sleep, don't send dinner, you Uncle Guan can go out to buy it, you and Yueyue are tired in the past two days." ”

Xie Xingqian said "um", and Jiang Jianyue planned to leave.

Guan Mingchen immediately jumped out of bed and chased after the door: "Brother-"

He didn't want his mobile phone, so he threw it to Guan Wenshan casually, and wrapped himself around Xie Xingqi: "I'll go back with you." ”

Xie Xing lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

Zhu Lihua said on the bed: "Xingqi, let Chenchen go back with you, he didn't sleep in the morning, and he will be sleepy for a while, so take your brother's luggage back by the way." ”

Xie Xingqian glanced at the child who was dancing with joy, he didn't believe that Guan Mingchen, who was playing the game, would take a nap obediently.

……

I don't know if it's an illusion, on the way back, Guan Mingchen felt that the air in the car was very cold.

Soon he was sure that it was not an illusion, because when his brother was talking to his girlfriend, it was gentle and drizzly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere plummeted.

So as soon as he got home, Guan Mingchen quickly pushed the door and got out of the car, "Brother, I'm in the house." ”

Footsteps hurried, clattering up the steps.

"Keys." Xie Xingqian poked his hand out.

The child's footsteps paused, and he ran back again, took the key that Xie Xingqian hooked on his finger, and rushed into the house.

Jiang Jianyue laughed silently: "There is really a big gap between your brother's personality and yours. ”

Xie Xingqian unbuckled his seat belt, "It's normal, it's not a dad after all." ”

The car stopped on the side of the road, and he pushed the door and got out of the car, "Let's go, take you home." ”

Jiang Jianyue: "It's fifty meters, don't send it, go and rest early." ”

Xie Xingqi: "No, thanks to Guan Mingchen's blessing, I didn't even talk to you." ”

He stood in front of him, "Let's go." ”

Jiang Jianyue didn't insist.

At the beginning of the shower, the air was still sultry, and the two walked along the base of the wall, and could smell the fragrance of other people's gardenias.

"It feels like it's going to rain for a few days." Xie Xingqian said.

Jiang Jianyue: "Yes, when the rain falls, the temperature will be much cooler." ”

Xie Xingqian looked down at the puddle on the side of the road: "When will you go back to the Southern District at night?" ”

Jiang Jianyue: "Have you eaten, about eight o'clock?" ”

Xie Xingqi: "Then send a message before you go out, I'll wait for you here." ”

Jiang Jianyue: "Okay." ”

The Jiang family has arrived.

I said that the two of them were talking before, but in fact, along the way, there didn't seem to be any nutritious topics.

Xie Xingqian stood at the gate of the courtyard with his pockets in his pocket, raised his eyes and smiled at her, and motioned for her to hurry into the house.

As if feeling the rain again, Jiang Jianyue touched the top of her head with her hand.

"Xie Xingqi."

"Hmm."

"When are you free?" She turned her head and looked at him calmly.

"How?"

Jiang Jianyue looked at the sky, "When the rain is over, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau." ”

Sure enough, the rain began to fall again.

After a while, countless tiny silver filaments appeared in front of him.

Perhaps it was the mist that permeated his eyelashes, Xie Xingqian blinked slowly.

After a long time, he smiled faintly.

"Okay."
