Xu Shiqi didn't dare look directly into the old lady's wise eyes.
The old man who knew everything was trying to help her, but she was like being cast into a spell and dared not move. Outside the inner door, it seemed as if the pair of eyes had penetrating power, watching her behavior coldly. Telling the truth might be a step forward, but she really had no idea whether this step would lead to a smooth road or a bottomless abyss.
If she had any confidence in the old lady, the man's face would have been more than just cold and hard.
The conversation did not continue as the old dean was rushed in by the old man.
"Come, take some medicine." The old dean brought some clean water diligently, and the old man stood behind him like a door god.
The old lady opened her mouth, but seeing that the old director was still very serious, she knew that she had to stop. If she went too far, it would have a counterproductive effect, and it would be bad if the two girls blamed themselves.
The people who had just been kicked out couldn't wait to follow back in, but Wen Jialuo was not among them.
Xu Shiqi took a quick glance and felt a pang in his heart, and couldn't help but become worried.
"You can go back," the old lady patted her at the right time, "Your parents will be so happy now that you can speak. Go."
"Thank you... Grandma." Xu Shiqi nodded and shook hands with Wen Baohua before leaving.
As soon as I left the ward, I saw Wen Jialuo sitting in a chair in the corridor, with her head lowered, and her expression was unclear. She was holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, twisting it as if she were twisting a towel.
Gently placing his hand on her shoulder, Xu Shiqi's mind could not help but feel a little dazed. This was when she decided to keep silent, and this was also when she broke the agreement. Suddenly, she felt a little confused, not knowing if she had a dream. Thinking about it, it was a young, stubborn dream, but without colorful wings, there was only a dark, stagnant shadow.
"I'll take you back." Wen Jialuo stood up and said in a low voice.
Xu Shiqi shook his head, and when he saw the girl narrow her eyes, he slowly and softly said, "No need... You stay with grandma..."
Wen Jialuo held her hand and said, "I'll be back after I send you there."
Xu Shiqi turned around nervously and saw that the door of the ward was indeed closed by him. He then breathed a sigh of relief and had to agree to the girl.
The two of them took a taxi, and the driver hummed a song all the way, weaving in and out of the traffic like a dragon. However, the passengers on this ride were very quiet, and judging by their expressions, the driver had no desire to communicate.
After arriving at Xu Shiqi's store, Wen Jialuo did not get out of the car. Xu Shiqi paused after getting out of the car and heard the girl talking behind him.
"Wait for my call in the evening."
Xu Shiqi nodded and was about to leave when the girl stopped him again.
“…Okay.” Xu Shiqi had no choice but to speak.
Watching the taxi turn the corner, Xu Shiqi took a deep breath, turned around and pushed the door.
It was a hot day and Wang Yuan was sitting at the counter fanning herself from time to time. When she heard the noise and turned around, she saw her daughter standing there.
"Shi Qi?" Wang Yuan stood up and looked at the calendar on the table in surprise. "Why did you come back today? Is there something wrong?"
Xu Shiqi opened his mouth and his eyes became hot again.
Wang Yuan was used to her daughter's behavior, and she would close her mouth tightly again. But this time, Wang Yuan heard her daughter call "Mom", and for a moment she thought she was hallucinating.
"mom… "
"This is terrible," Wang Yuan stared at her daughter with trembling lips. She almost jumped up when she saw her daughter actually crying with a smile. There were still two tables of customers in the restaurant, eating quietly, but she couldn't care less. She shouted loudly to the kitchen, "Xu Zhongda, come out quickly--"
"What are you yelling about?" Xu Zhongda came out, wiping his towel, and gave an apologetic smile to the two tables of disturbed guests. Then he realized that his daughter had returned, "Hey, Shi Qi?"
"Hurry, hurry--" Wang Yuan was almost incoherent, and her hand, which was pointing at her daughter, began to tremble.
Xu Zhongda looked at his daughter in confusion, and then he heard her call "Dad".
Xu Zhongda rubbed his ears.
“Dad…” Xu Shiqi felt a pang in her heart and went forward to hug her father.
"Oh, I'm covered in oil." Xu Zhongda quickly stepped aside and nodded, "That's good, that's good."
Several waiters who were serving dishes came over curiously after hearing the noise, and they couldn't help but feel happy when they heard Xu Shiqi start talking. Lingzi, one of the waiters, was happy but also a little regretful. She could still speak, but it didn't seem as good as before, when you wanted to put your ears to her mouth all day...
Wang Yuan was finally excited enough, so she drove everyone away and took her daughter into the small room where they usually rested.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Wang Yuan asked, unable to help but look her daughter up and down.
Xu Shiqi told the story of the old lady's hospitalization in a disjointed manner, but he still hid a lot of things. In the end, Wang Yuan got an answer that made her feel very emotional. No wonder they say that potential is infinite. Sure enough, changes will appear when people least expect it. And her daughter and the old lady of that family seem to have a great affinity. As a mother, she almost felt jealous.
"Is that so?" Wang Yuan pulled her daughter closer and studied her slender neck carefully.
"Slowly...it will get better." Xu Shiqi said with a smile.
Wang Yuan nodded, but still a little worried: "Don't talk too much all of a sudden, there's always a process of adaptation. Let's go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, and make sure there are no sequelae or anything like that."
"Got it." Xu Shiqi said coquettishly.
Wang Yuan's eyes turned red. After she calmed down, she realized that her daughter's voice was no longer the wonderful voice that seemed to have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, but had a low, dull tone.
"I... will get better... slowly." Xu Shiqi sighed and comforted her mother.
"Don't force it." Wang Yuan wiped her eyes and smiled, "One can't be too greedy and want everything to be complete and perfect."
Xu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and countless sharp knives surged in her heart, which was really painful as if scraping bones. She hunched her chest and hugged her mother: "Mom... am I too... naive? I just want... to lose nothing..."
Wang Yuan was also stunned. There was infinite sadness in her daughter's voice, as if she was extremely tired and her head weighed a thousand pounds. Her heart softened, really softened. She thought it would be better to just turn a blind eye. It didn't matter what her daughter did or who she was with, as long as she was happy, wasn't it enough? Why should she be so harsh on her
But it still doesn't work. Wang Yuan was also in pain. Her daughter was smart enough not to mention the things she didn't dare to think about. But it still didn't work. Life is so long and there are so many roads. It's understandable to take one or two wrong detours. As long as you get back on the right path in the end, that's fine.
What should she do
In any case, it was always a happy thing that her daughter could speak again. Wang Yuan went to the kitchen and ordered a few dishes. In the evening, the three of them sat around the table and had a good meal.
It can be seen that her daughter has been through a lot today. Her eyebrows and eyes are about to curl up, so Wang Yuan asked her to go home first. Holding the phone, Xu Shiqi still didn't wait for the girl's call. He thought it was the same no matter where he waited, so he agreed.
The lights were just coming on, and Xu Shiqi stayed at home alone without turning on any lights. She leaned against the window. She could only stare at the buildings not far away, as the building was tall and had a wide view. She found her father's cigarette again, lit one, and watched it burn slowly.
After a while, the phone prompted that there was an incoming text message. Xu Shiqi picked up the phone, but before he opened it, a call came in.
"… Hello?"
There was silence for a long time before the other end asked, "Where are you?"
“… at home.”
"Alone?"
"Um."
"I'll be there in a minute."
The call was hung up very abruptly. Xu Shiqi looked through the text messages and found that they were also sent by the girl. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps what happened today was too sudden. Not only was she still in shock, but the girl who had suffered with her for several months probably still thought she was dreaming.
Wen Jialuo arrived very quickly. By then, Xu Shiqi had already turned on the lights, taken a shower, opened the window to dispel the smoke, and was waiting at the door in high spirits.
It's the same as last time, Wen Jialuo thought angrily. As soon as she entered the room, she was still changing her shoes when she was hugged by the woman. She didn't even have a chance to ask her what she wanted, she just kissed her regardless. Their bodies pressed tightly together, so lingering that she wished they could melt into each other, you in me, me in you.
"Wait..." Li Wenjialuo gasped while taking a breath.
Xu Shiqi ignored him, kicked the door shut, and pulled the girl into his room.
The moment she fell on the bed, Wen Jialuo was almost exhausted. Being covered under Xu Shiqi's body, her entire chest was squeezed, causing her to moan uncontrollably.
"Kara..."
Wen Jialuo was gathering strength to turn over and restrain Xu Shiqi, when she suddenly heard this soft and fragrant sigh, as if it had come all the way from thousands of years ago, but when she got closer, she saw that her face was covered with scars. She immediately softened, closed her eyes slightly, let the tears slide down, held the woman's face, and kissed her.
There is no more touching moment than this, both of them are completely focused on pleasing each other. I don't know how many times they have been so close to each other, but whether it is a little bit or a deep penetration, it can easily make people tremble.
But in the end, Wen Jialuo still did not let Xu Shiqi get what she wanted. She slowly distanced the two of them and sat up from the bed.
"Shi Qi," Wen Jialuo pulled up the crooked collar of the woman with red lips and panting opposite her. The woman with smooth bare shoulders had an innocent temptation. She had to try her best to control herself, "Call my name."
"Jia Luo, Wen Jia Luo." Xu Shiqi whispered softly. The sand in her throat was slowly weathering away, and she was gradually regaining the feeling of speaking.
Wen Jialuo held his breath and listened quietly without blinking, as if he was recording these sound waves with his mind.
"Isn't it amazing?" Xu Shiqi smiled slightly and joked, "Probably... similar to the dog jumping over the wall when it is desperate."
"Why do you say that about yourself?" Wen Jialuo frowned, "What did grandma say to you?"
Xu Shiqi tilted his head, as if he couldn't stand the smell of the girl sitting opposite him. He couldn't help but move closer to her and snuggled up to her: "Grandma asked me if someone threatened me. Probably only you... don't believe that I was really provoked by grandma... so I could speak..."
Wen Jialuo twitched the corners of her mouth. This was indeed a very intimate posture, but it was a posture where one could not see the expression. She could actually guess with the back of her head how this woman was considering saying these words.
"I think... that's because you love me, and grandma knows that you love me, so your thoughts are a bit extreme... Others wouldn't think that way..."
Ah, Wen Jialuo finally remembered from this familiar tone that this woman actually had a very clever mouth. It was just that she hadn't spoken in the past few months because it was inconvenient. Even when communicating with notes, she avoided long sentences and kept it as short as possible.
"I know you are all doing this for my own good, but..." Xu Shiqi was still trying to persuade her, but the next words were swallowed by the girl. The kiss was softer than usual, like a feather gently brushing the petal that could speak brilliantly. The pistil secretes sweet nectar, and Wen Jialuo sucked it gently, like a bee with a gluttonous soul, wanting to collect every drop of honey in its sac.
The woman who had been talking nonstop just now was about to lose her way. Her brain was completely insufficient and she could not think of another word.
Wen Jialuo did it on purpose, just like Xu Shiqi had been deliberately seducing her since she entered the room; and she didn't want to hear such words from a woman again, just like she didn't want to see the bruises on the back of her hands. Wen Jialuo thought that she had probably pushed this woman very hard, and she was still looking for reasons and excuses. Forget it, I won't ask anymore, so as not to make her nervous. Anyway, she has already opened her mouth, and the rest of the questions will naturally surface.
Xu Shiqi, who was kissed unconscious, was finally released. Wen Jialuo tidied her hair and pinched her ears affectionately: "You should know that grandma pretended to be sick on purpose."
Xu Shiqi nodded and had to support himself on the bed with his hands to ensure that his waist would not go limp in shame.
"She scared everyone at home, and she also insisted on leaving the hospital." Wen Jialuo saw through her and put his arm around her slender waist. This time, he took the initiative to let her lean on his neck. "I will accompany her for another day, so wait for me for another day. I will accompany you to the hospital for a follow-up check."
"No need..." Xu Shiqi thought for a moment and changed his words, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
"Although you can speak now, you can't go on blind dates." Wen Jialuo suddenly pinched her waist lightly and clearly felt the woman in his arms collapse a little more.
"I didn't go on a blind date." Xu Shiqi explained helplessly, trying to hold on to the girl's thin shoulders.
"Don't even think about it," Wen Jialuo paused, "I'm just afraid of your mother--"
"My mother? She's obviously... very kind and nice."
"Affectionate? Don't you think she treats me like an enemy?"
"That's because... you took her daughter away..."
"I think your mother has the eyes of a scout, just like my grandmother."
"Your mother... seems to be similar..."
