Falling Down the Pond

Chapter 38

Yeqin felt that sometimes he lived like a solitary animal, so lonely that he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, and sometimes he turned back into a herd animal, wishing that people from all over the world would surround him.

On the last day of Cheng Feichi's competition training, he came back and cooked him a meal before leaving, saying that he would stay in the hospital for the next few days and let him go home. Seeing his tired face and the appearance that he hadn't slept well for several days, Ye Qin suddenly felt sympathetic and didn't mention the matter of letting him continue to live here with him.

As a result, as soon as we separated, we didn't see each other for a whole week.

At first, he was fine, he should eat and sleep, snacks were unpacked one after another, and no one was always pressing him while playing games, not to mention how cool it was. Later, it gradually started to feel uncomfortable, facing the four walls all day, and a small house of 108 square meters can still feel spacious.

So Ye Qin went home, and the auntie said pleasantly that he had gained weight as soon as he entered the door, and went upstairs to ask Luo Qiuling to come and see. Luo Qiuling was very happy to see him come back, and hurriedly asked her aunt to go shopping for vegetables, saying that Ye Jinxiang would also come back at noon, so she could make more hard vegetables.

When Ye Qin heard that Ye Jinxiang was coming back, he turned around and wanted to run, but was dragged by Luo Qiuling's arms and led him into the house: "It's just in time for you to come back. Your father said he brought you something. The sun is so bright today, so don't go out again."

Ye Qin left with a sad face, took out his mobile phone and sent Cheng Feichi a "right humming" emoji. Cheng Feichi came back after lunch: [Is there any question you don't understand?]

Question your head! Ye Qin angrily blamed Cheng Feichi for his embarrassment, and fell asleep after listening to Ye Jinxiang's lecture. After finally listening to it, I returned to my room with the things he gave me, got up after a sleep, and looked through it casually. I found a pile of supplements such as vitamins and DHA algae oil soft capsules. The third people of the capital was printed on the bag. Hospital.

The simplicity is a bit abnormal, completely inconsistent with Ye Jinxiang's extravagant and lustful habits like a nouveau riche. In the past, no matter how low the grade was, the gifts were all famous brand clothes and famous brand watches.

Ye Qin couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother to think about it. When he went out the next day, he thought about it and went back to his room to take the bag of things with him. He didn't need tonic, but Cheng Feichi might need it.

In the morning, go to the airport to pick up Zhou Feng.

That guy stayed there for another half a month after his study tour in the United States, and dragged Liao Yifang along, eating, drinking and having fun in Moments all day long. Once, I took a picture of the sunset in California. Liao Yifang, who was standing barefoot on the beach with a book in his hand, accidentally entered the country, which gave Ye Qin the illusion of being shown his love and affection.

The plane landed on time, and seeing the two people walking side by side, Ye Qin was sure that he didn't have an adulterer, and that the two were indeed dating.

Liao Yifang, who was more than two degrees tanned, got into Ye Qin's car and was very pleasantly surprised: "Student Ye is so busy studying and still came to pick us up. Thank you."

Ye Qin looked at him in the rearview mirror: "Who says I'm busy studying?"

"Student Cheng said, I asked him on WeChat the other day when I had a question, and he said he was giving you a quiz."

Ye Qin: "..." Everyone now probably knows that he didn't go crazy this summer, but was cowardly doing homework at home.

Carrying the two of them to the apartment in Jiayuan District, Zhou Feng looked left and right, surprised at the strong atmosphere of life here, two pairs of slippers, two teacups, two face towels, and two There are only a pair of pillows and even toothbrushes, one red and one blue.

"Hey," Zhou Feng dragged Ye Qin into a corner, "You and Xueba, what happened to that?"

Ye Qin couldn't understand: "Which one is that?"

"It's just a matter of doing it on a bed."

"sleep?"

Zhou Feng elbowed him: "Don't play dumb."

Ye Qin thought of countless goodnight kisses, and looked away: "Who said that you have to do those things when you sleep in a bed?"

Zhou Feng looked at him like an alien: "If you don't do those things, what else can you do in bed?"

Liao Yifang saw Cheng Feichi's books on the desk, as if seeing something precious, took out the small notebook he carried with him and started copying notes, Zhou Feng called him out to play, but he ignored him.

Good friends who hadn’t seen each other for more than a month played a few games together. Zhou Feng, who was still jet lagged, yawned and went into the room to tease Squad Leader Liao, who was studying hard. "What about Xueba people? How irresponsible are you to run away after eating up?"

Ye Qin jumped up and covered his mouth, as if trying to kill him.

Fortunately, Liao Yifang didn't hear clearly, and stuck out his flushed face: "What are we having for lunch?"

Ye Qin looked back and felt uncomfortable. Didn't he say that there was nothing serious and he would be discharged soon? Why haven't you contacted me until today

After dinner, he called Cheng Feichi, and it took him almost a minute to get through.

"Hey, where are you?" Ye Qin wanted to show his high status in front of his friends, and his tone was a bit leadership.

The background sound of the phone was loud, obviously in a public place. Cheng Feichi walked out of the ward and found a place as quiet as possible: "In the hospital."

Ye Qin asked, "Have you been discharged from the hospital yet?"

Cheng Feichi tucked the phone between his ears and shoulders, and shook out the hospital bill he had just typed out to browse: "Well, I'll be discharged this afternoon."

"congratulations."

When Ye Qin heard that Cheng Xin was discharged from the hospital, he was happier than when he heard that Ye Jinxiang was going on a business trip. He thought that the summer vacation was still half a month away, and he could call Cheng Feichi to accompany him again.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Then tonight you..."

Halfway through the conversation, I heard a middle-aged man's voice on the phone.

"Xiaochi, why did you come here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

The footsteps came from far to near, and when they reached Cheng Feichi, it was enough for Ye Qin to hear what he said clearly.

The man was overly polite: "I told you that the fee will be settled by uncle. Be obedient, you go in and accompany your mother to pack things."

Cheng Feichi's reaction was naturally to decline, saying that he would not bother uncle, with a polite and distant attitude, as if he was treating a passing stranger.

But Ye Qin couldn't listen to a word, and slowly clenched the hand holding the phone, his knuckles were faintly bluish.

He couldn't hear it wrong, this voice, who else could it be if it wasn't Ye Jinxiang? He could even imagine Ye Jinxiang's attentive expression when he said these words.

Ye Qin sneered.

No wonder I brought him some tonic, the family reunion of three was just a matter of course.

At the payment office on the first floor of the Third Municipal Hospital, Cheng Feichi finally dismissed Ye Jinxiang. Looking back at his phone, Ye Qin had already hung up the phone.

He queued up to pay the fee first, thinking that if he had nothing else to do when he got back, he would go to Jiayuan Community. He still has something there, if Yeqin hasn't left yet, he will have a meal with him over there. The types of ingredients in the vegetable market over there are limited and not fresh enough, so he can buy vegetables from the city and bring them to cook.

Thinking of this, the footsteps could not help but become much lighter.

Cheng Xin's problem was not serious. The doctor said that she hadn't come to the hospital for a checkup for a long time, and the hormones needed by her body were different from before, and she should make up for what was lacking, instead of taking medicine randomly at home.

As a result of changing the dispensing, the cost of treatment rose sharply, which far exceeded the previous monthly budget for drug expenditure. Cheng Feichi was worried that the supply of drugs would not keep up, so he took a short-term appointment on the recommendation of the father who was a tutor on Saturday morning. The remedial class substitutes for a period of 20 days. By the way, I took back the job at the breakfast shop and promised the boss to do it at the end of the year. In this way, I can earn more than 3,000 yuan in less than a month.

Although the salary is a drop in the bucket, it can still supplement the family a little, so that I won't use other people's money to slap myself in the face.

As soon as I got off the elevator at the inpatient department on the second floor, I met Aunt Feng who was in a hurry: "Xiaochi, hurry up, your grandparents are here."

Before reaching the door of the ward, Cheng Feichi heard the noise inside.

Grandpa looked for weapons everywhere to beat Ye Jinxiang: "I reminded you back then not to provoke Xinxin from our family, the good children were spoiled by you guys!"

Ye Jinxiang was terrified and embarrassed to leave, so he acted defensively: "Teacher, calm down, things are not what you think, I just came to see Xin..."

Grandpa scolded angrily: "What did you do so early? When she insisted on going her own way, none of you stopped her, maybe you were still fanning the flames on the sidelines. Now it's good, with the notoriety of being an outsider, and being poked for twenty years The backbone and the body are also broken, just to give birth to a child of unknown origin, who will walk ahead of us when the time comes, and the two of us will have to die for her!"

Cheng Feichi stopped and stood at the door without going in. Cheng Xin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a pale face, was the first to see him, and waved to him, signaling him to go out first.

"I tried to persuade her at the time, but she didn't listen..."

Ye Jinxiang was still defending. Grandma took Cheng Feichi outside and stopped when she couldn't hear people's voices. After careful consideration, she opened the mouth and said, "Your grandfather didn't close the door when he got angry. His words were a bit harsh. Don't take it to heart. go."

Before Cheng Feichi could break away from what he said just now, he let out a low "hmm".

Grandma sighed. After finally persuading my wife to come and see my daughter, the situation turned into this again. The old man didn't know how much he loved his daughter and how much he wanted to see his grandson, but he had kept tradition all his life and valued his face and reputation more than anything else. In addition, this firecracker's personality would blow up at the slightest point. Seeing Ye Jinxiang here, he was instantly furious. No one can persuade.

Cheng Xin grew up beside them, and has long been used to his father's tough mouth and soft heart. But Cheng Feichi was still young, and children who had suffered hardships were the most sensitive and suspicious. Grandma was afraid that he would be affected, so she told him a lot.

"Don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense, he is just in a bad mood, and throws fire when he catches someone. Look at that Uncle Ye in there, he is a student we both taught. After going to college, he chased your mother to the house. Your grandpa Ask your mother, 'Xinxin, do you like this young man', your mother is also honest, and directly said 'I don't like', but this Xiaoye was chased and beaten by your grandfather for several blocks."

The purpose of saying these words was to enliven the atmosphere and make Cheng Feichi feel at ease, but as she spoke, grandma herself became sentimental: "I didn't expect to get in touch again after so many years. Even if I followed Xiaoye back then, it would be better than getting married." It's good now."

Cheng Feichi didn't think so.

Even if he hadn't compared it, he knew that his personality was mostly influenced by his mother. Cheng Xin's stubbornness was engraved in his bones. As long as she believed in something, even if everyone around her said it was wrong, she could withstand the pressure and go alone. Go against the current and fight against everything with silence.

Before leaving, grandma quietly put a wad of money on the bedside. After Cheng Xin found out, she took the money and chased her out, followed by Ye Jinxiang and Aunt Feng.

Cheng Feichi stayed in the ward to pack his things. The old woman in the next bed got to know their mother and son these days, and got out of bed to help him clean up together, gossiping: "Parents and elders always love their own children. , in fact, the more you scold, the more uncomfortable you feel in your heart, which is the same as the pain in your mother's heart when you beat your child."

The old lady was transparent and observant. Cheng Feichi knew that her purpose of saying this was the same as that of her grandmother, and used "unscrupulous words" to downplay the harm caused by the sentence "unknown origin".

But he has no right to hold grudges against grandpa because of this.

He just came from an unknown source, if it wasn't for some use value, maybe he should have been discarded long ago.

After taking Cheng Xin home and getting settled, it was already 6:00 in the afternoon when he arrived at Jiayuan Community.

Cheng Feichi made a sweet and sour short rib and shrimp with cashew nuts, and fried bamboo shoots while there was oil in the bottom of the pot. Eating this in hot weather is the best way to reduce heat. Yeqin tends to be sweet, so he pays attention to get rid of his previous habit of adding dried chilies to every dish, and adds a few spoonfuls of sugar.

After checking the phone, there was still no unread messages, thinking that Ye Qin might have gone somewhere to play and didn't pay attention to the phone.

He sealed the dishes with plastic wrap and put them on the table. Seeing that it was getting dark, he still called Ye Qin.

I didn't pick up the first time, and waited for the fast busy tone to pick up the second time. I said "Hello" lazily, as if I just woke up.

There were music and noisy voices around, Cheng Feichi asked "Where are you" several times before he heard clearly at the other end, and said loudly, "Guess."

Someone yelled at the side: "Brother Qin's family has checked the post? Hurry up and call him over to play together."

It appears to be with friends. Cheng Feichi heard it intermittently, and thought there was a problem with the signal, so he went to the balcony: "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Come on, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you, Xueba!" Zhou Feng's voice came from the phone, "It's still the same clubhouse as last time, report my name at the door and go straight to the third floor."

Cheng Feichi was silent for a moment, and said, "Let Ye Qin listen to the phone."

I don't know who was laughing and said: "People only listen to what Aqin says, why are you joining in the fun?"

Then ???? a series of sounds, Ye Qin leaned in front of the phone microphone: "Come on, today is my friend's birthday."

Cheng Feichi turned his head and glanced at the dishes on the table, hesitated for two seconds, and agreed, "Okay."

On the other side, in a private room in the Nanguo Mansion, Liu Yangfan swayed his legs, raised his eyebrows and said, "This time we agreed to let my brothers meet him, so don't be soft-hearted."

Ye Qin threw his mobile phone on the coffee table, his face was gloomy: "Whoever is soft-hearted will take your surname."
