Cheng Jingbo sent them home, and before Bai Ziren got out of the car, he handed her the book, which was the one she wanted to read.
The two little uncles also had farewell gifts. He took out two pieces of chocolate and gave them to them. They took it, one said goodbye to the brother-in-law, and the other said that the brother-in-law would marry his sister back home early.
"Take a good rest and see you next week." He also handed her a few fruit candies by the way.
Bai Ziren, who was treated like a child, didn't feel anything wrong at all, put the candy in his pocket, turned around, and saw the two children looking up at her together, their eyes clearly questioning, why do you have the nerve to eat candy? guilty conscience.
During dinner, Mu Zidong and Mu Zibei talked about their experience in the amusement park, and praised sister and wife.
Liu Xinyu corrected them: "Don't call other people's brother-in-law, understand?"
Uncle Mu smiled kindly and said indifferently: "Forget it, let them go."
Liu Xinyu looked at her daughter again, and found that she didn't move her chopsticks very much, and she was listening to the two children with all her heart. Whenever the topic came to Cheng Jingbo, she smiled slightly, as if she felt the same way as them, and admired that person very much.
"When my sister gets married, I want to be a flower girl and pull her skirts." Mu Zibei said suddenly.
"The flower girl is me!" Mu Zidong snapped up, "I am taller than you."
The two fought again.
Bai Ziren persuaded the fight, and said calmly: "It's too early to say these things, maybe I won't hold a wedding in the future."
Uncle Mu was a little surprised when he heard that: "Xiaoren, don't you want to have a wedding?"
"I think the wedding is too complicated and not suitable for me. If possible, I hope two people can be together quietly."
Liu Xin said displeased: "What kind of marriage is not a wedding? There are still some rules to be followed."
Bai Ziren was not in a hurry to speak, and Mu Zibei, who was on the side, saw that he had no hope of being a flower girl, so he hurriedly said, "Guaziren, you are so beautiful, my brother-in-law must really want to see you in a wedding dress."
"Really?" Bai Ziren was a little shaken when he thought of Cheng Jingbo.
Uncle Mu also agreed: "That's right, that's the most beautiful moment for a woman, like I still can't forget your mother's appearance when she got married."
Liu Xinyu smiled slightly when she heard the words. What she thought was that it would be unlucky not to have a wedding. She and her ex-husband eloped here back then, and they lived together without any form. The result was very bad. Xiaoren's ideas were exactly the same as her father's .
Thinking of this, she couldn't help saying earnestly: "Marriage is not a matter between two people. You are still too young, and you will understand later."
After returning to his room, Bai Ziren thought about what his mother said, and felt that it made sense. As Dr. Chen said, if you want to be with someone forever, you must face his family and friends. They are not birds that live on an isolated island. Indifferent to the outside world.
This was the first time since she and Cheng Jingbo fell in love with each other that she felt confused in reality, and it couldn't be solved for the time being.
She shook her head and picked up his book to read.
Italo Calvino described fifty-five virtual cities in his book "Invisible Cities", some of which are wild and unconstrained, as if they are only fleeting in your dreams, and you don't even dare to think about them at ordinary times.
He wrote in City and Sky No. 5: "Andrea's architectural skill is so sublime that every street follows the orbit of a planet, and buildings and public places follow the constellations and brightest stars. The location arrangement of Antares, Pices, Capella, and Cepheid variables."
She read until early in the morning, closed the book, and couldn't help but imagine that it would be great if there was a city in the sky tailor-made for them. They could simply live together and live each day with heart without worrying about the changes in the world.
Just think about everything in your dream, and you still have to face a new day when you wake up.
Maybe it's because the campus life is too boring. The only hobby of the students immersed in the data all day is to gossip. For example, does the beauty Xu Shuyun have a boyfriend? Has anyone seen it? If not, the majority of male compatriots will have to act. For example, are Huang Xiaoling and Zhou Biji a couple? It has been rumored that they have never been seen as a couple until now, and they have never even seen them sitting together in the cafeteria. Hua, the truth needs to be verified. For example, Bai Ziren's boyfriend is really a teacher and not a rich man? Then why did Fangzheng say with certainty that a man driving a sports car was chasing her? Could it be another one
Of course, there was no malice in talking and laughing, they were just used to pass the time of a meal, and soon went to do their own things.
One evening, Bai Ziren ran into Huang Xiaoling at the door of the boiler room and was stopped by her.
"Do you have time? I have something to ask you."
"whats the matter?"
There was no one around, so Huang Xiaoling asked her directly: "Have you ever had anything with Zhou Biji?"
Bai Ziren shook his head: "No, he was my classmate when I was in elementary school, and he is still now."
Huang Xiaoling seemed to believe it or not, and said in a low voice: "But I think it's weird between you, he takes good care of you, like the time I ate hot pot, I ordered two more dishes, and he stared at me, then I understood, He is afraid that you will spend money."
"Maybe he's just Gu Nian's classmates from elementary school."
Bai Ziren felt that by now, he had made it clear to Zhou Biran, and there was no need to explain the details to others.
"No, that day in the cafe, his face changed when he heard that you had a boyfriend, and he left immediately."
"He said he had something to do."
Huang Xiaoling frowned: "Bai Ziren, I'm really asking you, can you tell me the truth?"
"The fact is that he and I are just ordinary friends, it's as simple as that, and besides, I already have a boyfriend, you also saw that day."
"I know, you have such a good boyfriend, it's impossible to see it as inevitable last week, but girls, you can't bear to refuse a boy who treats you well around you."
Bai Ziren was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Huang Xiaoling to say that.
"I'd like to know... Has Zhou Bibi expressed anything to you?"
"Huang Xiaoling, if you want to know more about it, just ask Zhou Bier."
Huang Xiaoling was at a loss for words, she couldn't just say that Zhou Bibi had never paid attention to her at all, and everything now was passed on by her classmates, in fact, they had never even touched her hands.
"You also know that boys are unwilling to answer these questions, and we are not very good at talking about you." Her eyes flickered.
Bai Ziren nodded: "That's right, it has nothing to do with me in the first place, it's because you think too much."
Huang Xiaoling's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. She didn't expect that she came prepared. The other party just responded with a calm attitude, like punching cotton. She was very frustrated. She lowered her head and repeatedly pursed her lips. Feeling aggrieved, he said after a while, "Bai Ziren, I beg you, don't give Zhou Bier hope."
There was no sound at all around, Huang Xiaoling looked up, where was the shadow of Bai Ziren
She felt sad in an instant, as if she was stuck in a puzzle and couldn't find the exit. After a short struggle, she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhou Biran, which read: "I just met Bai Ziren at the door of the boiler room. The boyfriend called, and it sounds like the two are in a good relationship."
Half a minute later, Zhou Biran replied: "What's the matter with you? Don't send me text messages from now on."
Huang Xiaoling's expression stagnated, and soon his eyes were sour, and he wanted to cry.
Coincidentally, Bai Ziren, who walked out of the boiler room, received a call from Cheng Jingbo. He was in the school convenience store and asked her what she wanted to eat.
"I want to eat the mahua I bought last time."
"Well, what else?"
"Lemon sandwich biscuits and seaweed."
"continue."
She was thinking, when she suddenly heard a student's voice on the other end of the phone, seeming to say, "Mr. Cheng, you bought a lot of snacks, didn't you eat them yourself?"
"Okay, I don't have anything else I want to eat." Bai Ziren said.
"Then I'll help you choose some and deliver them over the weekend."
"it is good."
The voice from the other end of the phone came again: "Who are you buying for?"
Cheng Jingbo's voice seemed a little farther away and not very clear, but Bai Ziren could still hear what he said.
"It's my girlfriend, and I'm fatting her."
"..."
After finishing the call, Bai Ziren returned to the dormitory, looked in the mirror, and found that he was already a little fatter than before. Why did he need to continue to make things worse in his eyes? Does he prefer fat girls? She thought about it for a while, opened the cupboard, took out the hoarded snacks and put them on the table, opened a pack of high-calorie potato chips, ate them quickly, peeled off a bag of sour plums, and continued eating.
The next day, a classmate found a pile of eaten sour plum seeds in the garbage bag in front of Bai Ziren's door. He bowed his head and researched and found the answer. He was indeed a model student who was quiet and efficient, and went straight to his goal when he was in love. The future is fruitful and has become a reality.
Thinking that he had discovered the big secret, the student wished he could jump on the spot and shout out loudly, endured and endured, and finally stomped his feet lightly, secretly delighted, and prepared to hide the material until lunch time.
During the public class in the afternoon, Zhu Mingwen couldn't hold back, he leaned over and asked quietly: "Do you really have it?"
Bai Ziren asked what was wrong.
"Ahem, you have to know that it is very hard work to take care of children while studying in graduate school."
"What child?" Bai Ziren still didn't understand.
"Ah? It seems to be fake." Zhu Mingwen was disappointed.
Bai Ziren, who has always been slow in relationship, realized it quickly this time. After a pause, he said to her: "There will be no such situation as you said. We were in platonic love before marriage."
Zhu Mingwen almost burst out laughing when he heard this: "It's not the eighteenth century, and we're almost three years old, so don't pretend, okay?"
"I'm not pretending, it's true."
Zhu Mingwen shook his head: "I bet, you can't last until after marriage, you are so beautiful, how could he not be tempted?"
"He's different from other men."
"Then you can bear it?"
Bai Ziren was startled, it was the first time she thought of this question, she didn't answer it in time, but some unbelievable images began to appear in her mind, she shook her head, and still didn't let go of it after freezing.
Seeing this, Zhu Mingwen was secretly delighted. It seemed that after her guidance, Bai Ziren became enlightened and began to think about it.
On Saturday, Bai Ziren confessed to Dr. Chen that he had a bad dream recently.
After hearing this, Dr. Chen calmly explained to her: "Don't be shy, it's human nature, it means you have grown up."
"I won't be like this forever, right?" Bai Ziren asked for advice.
"The probability is very high. After all, you are in a state of love. It is normal to have room for imagination about him."
"Doctor Chen, please don't tell him for now."
Dr. Chen smiled helplessly: "Why do you think that falling in love is just playing tricks like a kindergarten kid? I don't even dare to think about it now. When that day comes, you won't pass out on the spot, will you?"
Bai Ziren was speechless.
Dr. Chen shook his head and said to himself: "I'm really worried about Cheng Jingbo. He has to teach students in class and teach you when he goes home. He is a teacher 24 hours a day."
"..."
When Bai Ziren left the psychological clinic, he turned on his phone and saw Cheng Jingbo's text message. He was in Wu Wei's ward just now, and now he went to the big pharmacy opposite the hospital to buy special gauze. He left for twenty minutes and asked her to wait.
She was waiting for him by the elevator on the first floor of the inpatient department, and after a while, she ran into Dr. Cheng in a fluttering white robe.
Cheng Jingjie greeted her generously, and asked her if she had an appointment with Jingbo here.
"Well, he went out to buy medicine, I'll wait for him."
"Okay, then I'll go up and find someone first. If you need help with anything in the future, just come to me."
Cheng Jingjie was about to press the elevator when she heard a voice behind her: "Doctor Cheng, can I ask you something?"
She withdrew her hand and turned her head with the same smile: "Of course, what's the matter?"
"Do you have a sister?"
Cheng Jingjie was a little surprised, but quickly replied: "Yes, there are three children in our family. The younger sister's name is Cheng Jingmo, and she has passed away."
"Sorry." Bai Ziren looked guilty.
"It's okay, you can ask, it's been a few years, and our family has accepted the fact." Cheng Jingjie said of her late sister's emotional stability, "She had an accident during the trip, the car fell into the glacier, waiting for rescue The team arrived and was not breathing."
Bai Ziren's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone all of a sudden.
Cheng Jingjie stopped talking, looked into the distance, did not directly show the emerging melancholy to others, and continued softly: "Girls should pay attention to safety when going out, and you should do the same. Don't go to too remote places."
"Doctor Cheng, I haven't talked to brother Cheng yet. Actually, I want to ask him, but it's hard to ask."
Cheng Jingjie looked back at her: "I guess so, I guess you learned about it by accident from his friend. The fact is that he hasn't taken the initiative to talk about it since Jingmo left, but he won't deliberately avoid it. If you ask Him, he'll tell you."
"I dare not." Bai Ziren said truthfully.
Cheng Jingjie patted her arm and encouraged her: "What's the matter, you are his girlfriend, you can ask anything you want, just find a chance to ask him, as for today's conversation, I will not tell him."
"thanks."
"You're welcome."
Cheng Jingjie took the elevator up, and Bai Ziren waited alone. Ten minutes later, Cheng Jingbo came to look for her, and sat with her in Wu Wei's ward for a while. After chatting for a few words, she no longer rejected people thousands of miles away, and agreed to the next dinner.
They went downstairs together and passed the intensive care unit. It happened to be opening time. They saw the child who had undergone the intracranial test last time was carried out by his mother, holding a box of juice in his hand, his eyes were as black as grapes, and his face was full of blood.
Cheng Jingbo slowed down, and said to Bai Ziren: "His operation went well, and the observation period has passed, so he should be transferred to the general ward today."
"Really? That's great." Bai Ziren shook his hand vigorously, conveying his joy.
"Last time I said he would recover."
"I believe you must be right."
Together, they looked at one sick body after another behind the glass window, some slowly healed, some slowly withered, the former was lucky, while the latter was force majeure.
"You said last time that life, old age, sickness and death here are often beyond the reach of human beings."
He nodded.
"I will always be with you." She turned around and reached out to hug him. "No matter what happens in the future, whether you are healthy or sick, I will be by your side. Even if it is destiny, I will obey, but I will not leave."
His eyes were fixed, her promise made him feel for the first time in a long life, it is a rare thing to be accompanied by someone, thinking of this, he hugged her into his arms.
"It's up to me to say that."
