"Provincial hospital?!" Sheng Wang glanced at Jiang Tian and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Aunt Jiang? Why did you go to the hospital?"
"I'm not sick, I'm not sick." Sheng Mingyang seemed to be in a mess, and he could hear that he was caught in a sudden dispute, and his words were in a hurry, but he didn't want Sheng Wang and them to panic, "There is something, you and Xiao Tian— Xiao Chen? Go and say hello to the nurse."
Halfway through his words, he hurriedly explained to the people around him, and then he said to Sheng Wang, "You and Xiao Tian will go home by yourself in a while. Dad's here—"
"No." Sheng Wang said firmly: "Let's go now, what's the room number?"
Sheng Mingyang's voice was caught in the noise, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, come here. 903, pay attention to safety on the way."
Sheng Wang was afraid that Jiang Tian would be worried, so he hung up the phone and immediately reassured him: "Don't worry, Aunt Jiang is fine, not sick. I guess there is something else—"
"Ji Huanyu." Jiang Tian interrupted.
"what?"
"It was Ji Huanyu who looked for her."
Jiang Tian's face was ugly and his anger was suppressed. While talking, he stopped a passing taxi, strode over and opened the door. Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly greeted Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting, followed closely, and got into the car.
The driver was probably urged, and as soon as the door closed, the car rushed out.
Jiang Tian's family affairs are very complicated, and the name "Ji Huanyu" is even more messy. Zhao Xi still knows this, and also knows that this is Jiang Tian's minefield and taboo, so he didn't rush into it. Just sent a WeChat message to each of the two younger brothers, saying: If you need anything, just call your brother.
Jiang Tian was very silent all the way, the mobile phone interface stayed in Jiang Ou's chat box, staring at the end without blinking. The moment he saw Jiang Ou's question, he knew he couldn't hide it.
He spent so many years building a protective wall, but was slapped with a heavy hammer, fell short and collapsed.
Ji Huanyu must have said something to Jiang Ou, otherwise why would she suddenly become suspicious.
Jiang Tian thought to himself.
The provincial hospital was the one where old man Ding lived before, not far from Wutong, only three kilometers away. The driver turned the car into a snake and drove on the crowded road at night, and it took less than 10 minutes to deliver the person to the destination.
They met Ji Huanyu outside Gate 903.
He came from the corner with his coat and coat open, and now there are two groups of blue and black, and his chin has stubble that hasn't been shaved cleanly. The clothes are still there, the demeanor is completely gone, and the frowning brows are full of irritability and disgust. He grabbed the phone and almost bumped into it, hurriedly said "sorry" before he could see who he had bumped into.
"Little Tim?"
As soon as Ji Huanyu opened his mouth, Jiang Tian grabbed his collar and punched him. There was a burst of exclamations around, and the corridor suddenly became chaotic, and there was a quarrel among those who avoided, fought, and persuaded. There was a buzzing sound in his head, and he smashed the opponent a few times before being hugged from behind and pulled away.
"Brother! Don't be here." Sheng Wang hugged him, "Don't fight here."
"Little Tim!" Sheng Mingyang and Xiao Chen's voices were also caught in it.
The nurses and doctors all rushed over, surrounded by people, male and female voices mixed, piercing their brains sharply, like noisy frogs in a shallow pool.
"I told you not to look for her—" Jiang Tian was depressed and gloomy.
"I didn't look for her!" Ji Huanyu staggered and stood up straight, his face equally ugly, "I didn't look for her!"
"Aren't you and who else?"
"I… "
He hesitated before speaking, and in a rare way, he burst out in front of people, rubbing the cracked corner of his mouth, bowing his head and silently scolding "Fuck".
"Little Tim! Let's go in, go first." Sheng Mingyang crossed over and grabbed Jiang Tian's arm, Sheng Wang half hugged and half dragged him behind, and pulled him into 903.
Jiang Ou stood there, his hair that was always neatly tied was loose, and a few strands fell on the side of his face. She lowered her eyes and pulled the corners of her mouth, her eyes were slightly swollen, whether she had cried or was simply too tired.
Jiang Tian wanted to call her, but before he opened his mouth, he saw the person holding the bed rail.
For a moment, he felt that this person was both unfamiliar and familiar. The strangeness was the appearance of the person who was terminally ill, and the familiarity was the manner in which the other person raised his eyes and looked over.
He was stunned for two seconds before finally recognizing it. This is the man who was entangled with Ji Huanyu in the dim bedroom.
Jiang Tian couldn't remember the man's face. The long-term rejection in his childhood made him forget his appearance, like a deliberate mosaic, but he remembered the shocked look in the other party's eyes, and that moment of staring made him sick for many years.
So much so that at the moment when I saw it again, the nauseating feeling of overturning the river came again.
Jiang Tian's face instantly turned cold, and he subconsciously touched the scar on the back of his neck. This action fell into Jiang Ou's eyes. She froze for a while, then slowly raised her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Little Tim, do you know him?"
Although it was a question, her tone was firm and numb.
Jiang Tian shook his head, as if he just moved.
"You know him." Jiang Ou said again.
Jiang Tian did not deny this time, but fell into silence.
"How did you know him?" Jiang Ou's voice was very soft and slow. Obviously just standing, but it seems to be extremely laborious, "Have you seen it? In the old house in the attached middle school?"
After a long while, Jiang Tian frowned and said vaguely, "Well."
"So..." Jiang Ou swallowed, as if to suppress some kind of turbulent emotions, and as if trying to suppress nausea, "So you know? You know him and your dad... What is his relationship with Ji Huanyu? ?"
"Um."
At that moment, Jiang Ou felt a little distressed. But the overwhelming sense of absurdity overwhelmed the sky, so that she struggled in it, ignoring the tender tingling.
"That's why I don't know. I'm alone, like a fool, and don't know anything," she said.
"Little Gull—" Ji Huanyu called out.
"Don't call me!" Jiang Ou's voice almost broke. She always looks gentle and gentle on weekdays, and has never used such a sharp tone, "Don't call me, I'm disgusting!"
In fact, before she came to the hospital, she thought she could stay sane. Du Cheng sent her a lot of messages. She sat on the sofa and read them one by one. She could read every word clearly, without collapse or confusion. Just felt cold, shivering from the chest to the limbs.
Du Cheng said, "All the money that Huanyu sent to Xiao Tian was returned, and a cent was confiscated. He always felt that he had not fulfilled his obligations." When she saw this sentence, her mind hadn't turned blank, and she even gave it to Jiang Tian. returned a WeChat message.
She thought she could calm down, but she didn't expect that she was just too emotional and stuck on the road, and it didn't break out until this moment. And when she realized it, she was shaking all over, and her eyes were instantly red.
She said: "I really feel disgusting, Ji Huanyu. I've been with you since I was 18. Do you know how many years it was? I'm only 18 once in my life, can you pay me back? I'm because of you and my mother. How many fights have you counted?! She is so old that she can’t remember who she is, and she grabbed me and told me, don’t worry about that boy, Mom knows people better than you. How many times have I coaxed her? I How many times have I told her to be relieved? My mother was never relieved until she left. Can you give her back to me? Do you know that he hides when he falls asleep and covers him with a quilt?"
Ji Huanyu froze there, described as embarrassed. It's like being forced to parade through the streets and introspective. Both angry and ashamed.
"You don't know, you only know to mix with Du Cheng." Jiang Ou said.
For the first time, she directly poked someone with such words, without hitting a single bend, no matter how sharp it came, it was like hysteria before the collapse: "Xiao Wang—"
Sheng Wang was suddenly called and looked at her blankly.
Jiang Ou pointed at the man beside the hospital bed and said, "Do you know who he is?"
Sheng Wang moved his lips, he felt sorry for Jiang Ou and wanted her not to do this. Because every word she said was two-way, not only piercing Ji Huanyu, but also piercing herself. But he has no position and is not qualified to persuade him, not only him, but no one here is qualified to persuade.
"He is my aunt's middle school classmate and sits behind my aunt." Jiang Ou said earnestly, "My aunt regards him as one of her best friends, the kind of friend I would be my godmother when I have a child."
"Such a good friend, go to bed with my husband." Jiang Ou still told Sheng Wang, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Huanyu, his hand was shaking all the time, "Men and men Yes, isn't it disgusting?"
She knew that Ji Huanyu had a good face and didn't like to be exposed in front of any outsiders. That's why she chose to say it, and chose the person who didn't matter to him the most.
All her attention was on Ji Huanyu, so she didn't realize that when she finished saying that, Sheng Wang's face turned pale.
He blinked lightly, took a step back, and was grabbed by Jiang Tian's wrist again.
It was the first time that Ji Huanyu met such Jiang Ou, and he was poked all over his body. The guilt disappeared in an instant, and it was filled with anger. He took a deep breath and said in a restrained tone: "Xiao Ou, I never wanted to deliberately disgust you. I swear, I was sincere when I was with you, I—"
Jiang Ou closed his eyes and looked like he was shielding him from the outside. She had suffered too many losses from Ji Huanyu, and she was already scared. Before she tried to believe every word of him, but now she doesn't want to believe a word. She even fell into a state of panic, feeling that everyone around her had problems and that no one was telling the truth.
"Okay, if I don't say this, I know you won't believe it." Ji Huanyu swallowed his words and tried to explain: "I promised Xiao Tian that I wouldn't find you or cause you trouble. Xiao Tian didn't say me, too. Thinking like this, I don't have the face to look for you. I feel disgusting and dirty. But Du Cheng is different. He always thought you knew it, but it took a long time to see it. Du Cheng, he—"
"Are you explaining to me for your cheating partner?" Jiang Ou said, "Or you are gay, you have been together since high school, and I was the one who got in?"
Ji Huanyu was a little irritable: "No, I'm just—"
There was no blood on Jiang Ou's face. This sentence was originally intended to stimulate Ji Huanyu, but the moment she said it, she realized that the sentence was stimulating herself.
If that's the case, then she's really living a mess. I didn't make the right choice once, and I was blind from start to finish.
She felt that the river was overturned in her stomach, and her feet could not stand a bit. So she said to Ji Huanyu with a white face: "I don't want to listen to you, I want to vomit when I see people like you."
"People like us?" Ji Huanyu's patience finally ran out. He lowered his face and asked sharply, "What? With men? Homosexuality?"
He has a very extreme personality, and he is still in a hurry, but he still doesn't say anything. Jiang Ou probably only had one son left in his heart.
So Ji Huanyu glanced at Jiang Tian, and sensitively captured the subtle things between him and Sheng Wang. Ji Huanyu sneered and said to Jiang Ou, "Then you remember to beware of your son, maybe it's the same as me."
Jiang Ou and Sheng Mingyang subconsciously looked at Jiang Tian.
Before their eyes fell, Sheng Wang took his hand out of Jiang Tian's fingers.
Jiang Tian squeezed hard, and he pulled hard.
In fact, it was just to cover up, but when Jiang Tian's finger slipped from his wrist, his heart dropped heavily. It's like standing in a malfunctioning elevator and suddenly the soles of your feet are empty.
Jiang Ou was stunned for only a moment, and the next second, she stood up straight and slapped Ji Huanyu.
She was well-behaved and lively in her youth, but in middle age, she became weak and cowardly. This is the first time that I have never touched anyone in more than 40 years.
She put Jiang Tian behind her and said to Ji Huanyu, "Don't worry, Xiao Tian has nothing in common with you and will never be the same as you."
This slap sentence seemed to use all Jiang Ou's strength. After the slap, she was shaking all over, almost unable to stand up. Sheng Mingyang quickly supported her, turned his head and called the nurse.
A group of people rushed in in a hurry, and they rushed out with Jiang Ou.
Sheng Wang didn't remember how he left, but only remembered that everyone looked bad and their minds were confused, like a flock of birds that were scattered. After some tossing and returning home, Sheng Wang sat down on the sofa, only to realize that he felt a tingling in the palm of his hand. He looked down and saw a red mark on both palms, almost torn skin to see blood.
He's holding on too tight...
Aunt Sun didn't go back that night, she was busy with the Sheng family. The atmosphere in the room was dull and depressing, and everyone spoke lightly and slowly, with a hint of exhaustion.
Jiang Tian leaned on the sofa, silently wondering what he was thinking. After a long time, Sheng Wang turned his head to look, and found that he was holding the phone and fell asleep unconsciously, but his eyebrows were wrinkled.
Sheng Wang stared blankly at the mobile phone clock, watching the hands move one by one, and finally moved to 0 o'clock.
He wanted to kiss Jiang Tian and said to him: Brother, happy birthday.
But he couldn't say it, because Jiang Tian couldn't be happy at all.
Not at all.
