In the hospital cafeteria, people come and go, and the noise is constant.
But at this moment, in her ears and eyes, only everything about the man in front of her remained.
Ji Qingying's ears began to heat up.
She pursed her lower lip, just about to ask him why he was smiling. Fu Yanzhi stopped smiling and handed her the cutlery on one side.
"Eat."
"… "
Ji Qingying glanced at him, and the man looked calm, not knowing how attractive he was just now.
She stabilized her thoughts and said very calmly, "You drink some soup first."
Fu Yanzhi set his eyes on the white insulation box.
Seeing him staring at the insulation box, Ji Qingying took the initiative to say, "Reciprocity."
Fu Yanzhi didn't know so he looked at her.
Ji Qingying wanted to cover it up: "Yesterday you invited me to eat braised pork ribs at noon, and I'll invite you to drink pork ribs soup today."
Saying that, she reached out and unscrewed the insulation box and poured out the soup.
Her fingers are white and beautiful, blending in with the white porcelain bowl.
Looking pleasing.
Fu Yanzhi glanced at it and suppressed his gaze.
"How about it?"
Ji Qingying's eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Is the taste okay?"
Fu Yanzhi took a sip, and his expression paused.
Ji Qingying looked at him, feeling a little uneasy: "Isn't it good to drink?"
She frowned: "No, I'm good at stewing soup."
Fu Yanzhi raised his eyes and said, "Not bad."
His voice was calm, simple words without too much emotion, but it was easy to convince people.
Hearing this, Ji Qingying breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
She lowered her head and drank the warm water next to her mouth, confidently saying, "Although I haven't done it for a long time, I haven't forgotten what I learned before."
"Um."
Fu Yanzhi said, "It tastes good."
Ji Qingying was startled, and the corners of her lips curved into a smile. She looked at the pork rib soup in the insulation box: "I'll give you all to drink, and add some nutrition appropriately."
Fu Yanzhi did not refuse.
Ji Qingying's soup is very rich, and it smells faintly scented.
On the surface, it looks really good.
Fu Yanzhi seemed to be really hungry. He finished the pork rib soup and ate half a boxed lunch before stopping.
After the meal, Ji Qingying looked at him sideways.
"Go back and rest."
She glanced at the time, only half an hour left.
"I heard from the nurse, did you arrange an operation this afternoon?"
Fu Yan nodded.
It's normal for the hospital to be busy on Monday.
Ji Qingying nodded and said with a smile, "It's hard work."
The two walked out of the cafeteria, one side was the building where Fu Yanzhi's department was, and the other side was the hospital gate.
He looked at the person behind him and said lightly, "Go to the door first."
Ji Qingying was stunned, looking at his tall and straight figure, with an indescribable emotion.
This person, even if he is tired, doesn't seem to forget the gentleman who remains in his bones.
She didn't refuse, and she didn't twist to be polite to him.
Ji Qingying responded and stepped up to the door.
The afternoon sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, leaving mottled debris on the ground.
The two figures were elongated.
Fu Yanzhi's considerate behavior will only make Ji Qingying fall more completely.
After getting in the car, she looked back at him.
"Arrived to give you information."
Fu Yanzhi stood beside him with his hands in his pockets and nodded lightly.
When the rear of the car disappeared, he turned around and went back to the hospital.
As soon as Xu Chengli woke up from a nap, he saw someone coming back.
He opened the shutters to let in the sunlight outside, and looked back at him: "Why do you take so long to eat?"
Fu Yanzhi ignored him and took the cup on the table to collect water.
After taking a big drink, Xu Chengli looked at him suspiciously: "Did you eat salt for noon?"
Before Fu Yanzhi could answer, he teased, "Didn't your cousin bring you a three-food meal? Is it salty today?"
"No."
Fu Yanzhi slowed down, his voice was still a little hoarse, because his throat was too dry.
Xu Chengli raised his eyebrows, just as he was about to continue asking, there was a knock on the door outside.
The two looked sideways.
Zhao Yidong stood at the door: "Doctor Fu, a patient's family members came over and said that they would like to discuss medication with you."
Fu Yan nodded and said in a low voice, "Okay."
He put down the cup, took the white coat hanging beside him, and fastened it.
Ji Qingying didn't know that Fu Yanzhi didn't even have a 20-minute break.
When she got home, she texted him as usual and didn't expect a reply.
All afternoon, Ji Qingying worked on the design drawings at home.
In the evening, Chen Xinyu came over.
"Is this the design you drew?"
Ji Qingying nodded, holding a cup to drink water: "How is it?"
Chen Xinyu watched it carefully, then turned to look at her.
She was silent, which made Ji Qingying still a little nervous: "Is it bad?"
Chen Xinyu: "...You don't count on your design level?"
Ji Qingying laughed, shook his head and said, "It's not too many."
She sat down to one side and said calmly, "I haven't participated in the competition for too long. I'm a little nervous."
Two years after graduation.
Ji Qingying didn't appear in any game, and even blocked many game news.
Although I will watch the award-winning works on the Internet in the future, looking at other people's works is not the same as my own participation.
Chen Xinyu squinted her eyes.
"I have two hundred percent confidence in you, so you don't have to worry about anything."
She raised her chin and said proudly: "Just your design, go to competitions all over the world and win the prize properly."
Ji Qingying: "..."
She looked at her lightly, and said quietly, "Don't make the filter too thick, my friend."
Chen Xinyu laughed.
It's not that she is too thick on Ji Qingying's filter, it's that she knows how good her friends are.
If it weren't for what happened in college, Ji Qingying wouldn't have been out of the game for so long.
Thinking about it, Chen Xinyu took the opportunity to sit down beside her.
"do you know?"
"what?"
Chen Xinyu leaned on her shoulder: "You posted a photo of Jasmine yesterday, and you were mentioned in the class chat at night."
Ji Qingying was startled.
"Tell me what to do?"
Chen Xinyu hummed angrily: "What else can I say, sneer."
She said: "I said that you were so good in school, but I didn't expect to graduate two years later, and I didn't see any outstanding works from you."
She turned her head and stared at Ji Qingying with burning eyes: "Do you still remember Sun Yijia?"
In order to prevent her from forgetting, Chen Xinyu deliberately mentioned her past historical deeds: "The one who competed with you everywhere in school, didn't she win the Newcomer Award in the National Designers Competition last year? Everyone mentioned you last night. At the time, she also pretended to be in the group and sighed, saying that she didn't expect you to become like this, and she couldn't bear any setbacks."
At the end, Chen Xin said in a loud voice: "But it made me mad. If it wasn't for the squad leader to dissuade her in the group, I would have almost quarreled with her."
"… "
Ji Qingying didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She reached out and patted Chen Xinyu's shoulder to reassure: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's easy to get old when you are angry."
Chen Xinyu rolled her eyes at her.
Ji Qingying's lips curled into a smile, she was silent for a while and said, "They say theirs, don't care."
"how about you."
Chen Xinyu asked, "You really don't care at all?"
Hearing this, Ji Qingying was silent for a moment before saying, "No, I care."
"But I don't play, and it's not just because of that," she said.
Mainly, she thought about it later.
I seem to be too young and not good enough.
Chen Xinyu wanted to say something, but Ji Qingying had already changed the topic.
"You're not going back tonight?"
Chen Xinyu nodded, "I'll sleep here tonight."
Ji Qingying laughed, glanced at her meaningfully, and teased: "Your boyfriend doesn't urge you?"
"Don't rush."
Chen Xinyu took the remote control to turn on the TV, and said lazily, "He's been busy with work recently, so he can't take care of me."
When Ji Qingying heard this, she felt something was wrong. But seeing her face as usual, she felt that she was thinking too much.
Ji Qingying didn't receive Fu Yanzhi's news until she went to bed.
- Just finished.
She raised her eyes and looked at the time.
It's ten o'clock at night.
Ji Qingying paused, reached out and rubbed his tired eyes: [Then you go home and rest early, good night.]
Fu Yanzhi: [Yes.]
Ji Qingying didn't dare to disturb him, she put her phone on the bedside table and closed her eyes to sleep.
Fu Yanzhi arranged three surgeries a day.
In their hospital, this kind of work intensity is also common for him.
After putting down the phone, Fu Yanzhi slowed down in the department, and then left the hospital with sore eyes.
When he got home, he habitually went to the balcony to take a look.
The flowers were blooming brightly, and the balcony next door was pitch-dark, silent, without any sound.
He took a second look at the vegetation on the shelf, and just as he was about to close the door, the phone in his pocket rang.
Ji Qingying: [Are you home?]
Fu Yanzhi was slightly startled: [Have you not slept yet?]
Ji Qingying: [Well. Can't sleep.]
Ji Qingying's sleep quality was very poor and she was habitually insomniac.
It has been going on for a long time.
At first, taking some sleeping pills can make you fall asleep.
But taking too much medicine is not good, so Ji Qingying forced herself to fall asleep with little effect, but she got used to it gradually.
But today it seems that no amount of force will work.
As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was like a movie, playing something she didn't want to echo on a loop.
Made her unable to sleep.
Ji Qingying was lying on the bed, and Chen Xinyu was already asleep beside him.
She got up quietly, walked out lightly, and closed the door behind her.
She went to the balcony.
"Fu Yanzhi."
Fu Yanzhi stood in the middle of the balcony, put away his phone and took two steps to the side.
"I am here."
Hearing this, Ji Qingying silently curved her lips.
"Why are you so late today?"
"work overtime."
Ji Qingying said "Ah", stared at him for a while, then turned to look at the tall building across the lake.
The high-rise building has just been renovated, and it has become a lot more beautiful from the inside to the outside.
And at this moment, bright lights are flashing from top to bottom outside the high-rise building.
There are large characters on the screen, which is an advertisement for a beauty brand.
Very generous.
"How many operations did you have today?"
she asked softly.
"Three."
Ji Qingying nodded and said softly, "Are you tired?"
"fine."
Fu Yanzhi put his hands in his pockets and looked directly at the scenery on the other side of the lake.
Inexplicably, both sides of the balcony fell silent.
Ji Qingying was standing against the wind in her nightgown, her hair was messed up, and from time to time it fluttered to her face, blocking her vision.
She fixed it and pinned her hair behind her ears, which made her feel at ease.
"Then should you go to rest?"
She turned her head and looked at the man standing beside her.
Fu Yanzhi said "um" and looked at her with bright eyes: "What's the matter?"
"what?"
Ji Qingying didn't react for a while.
Fu Yanzhi repeated patiently, "Can't sleep, what's the matter?"
Ji Qingying was stunned for a while, and said without a smile, "I suddenly thought of something unhappy."
Fu Yan nodded.
Just when Ji Qingying thought the topic was about to end, a familiar voice sounded next to her: "Since it's unhappy, why should you think about it?"
She was startled.
Fu Yanzhi turned to look at her.
In the darkness of the night, the outline of his eyebrows and eyes were blurred, making it less real to see.
But every word he uttered came to her heart with power.
Ji Qingying was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Don't you think about unhappy things?"
"Um."
Ji Qingying burst into laughter, as if she had been tapped.
"Fu Yanzhi."
He looked down at her.
Ji Qingying looked up at him, teeth like a shell, and a bright smile.
"I see what you mean."
Fu Yanzhi nodded.
In the next second, Ji Qingying said, "But I've already thought about it tonight. What do you say?"
That means—
I still can't sleep.
Fu Yanzhi was speechless for a while.
He looked at the people who wanted to take advantage of him even at such a time, and felt a little helpless.
"Then what do you want?"
When he said these words, there was a connivance that Fu Yanzhi ignored.
Ji Qingying raised her eyebrows, rolled her eyes and said, "Otherwise, sing me a lullaby."
Fu Yanzhi: "..."
She said solemnly, "I can't sleep at home. My grandmother sang lullabies to me."
"… "
He was silent for a moment, and said unceremoniously, "I'm not your grandmother."
Ji Qingying said brazenly, "I know."
She looked at him coquettishly: "You want to be me, but you don't want to."
After speaking, Ji Qingying couldn't help laughing.
"just kidding."
She put her hands on the balcony and half-squinted her eyes and said, "Go wash and rest, I'll go to sleep when I'm sleepy."
Fu Yanzhi responded lightly.
After a while, the lights on the balcony next door went out.
Ji Qingying didn't care either.
She blew the wind and looked up at the night sky.
Big cities are heavily polluted and have no stars.
Suddenly, she wanted to see the stars.
She was watching when her phone suddenly vibrated.
Fu Yanzhi: [Come to the door.]
Ji Qingying was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked towards the gate with her mobile phone.
As soon as the door opened, Fu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and looked over.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Qingying had a smile on her face: "I thought you took a bath and went to bed."
"Um."
Fu Yanzhi didn't say much and handed her something.
She looked down and saw a lollipop.
"this-"
"Eat and go to sleep."
Ji Qingying held a lollipop in front of Fu Yanzhi and blinked: "Give me something to eat?"
Fu Yanzhi glanced at her.
Ji Qingying laughed and understood what he meant.
She bent her lips and looked at him with eyes glinting: "What if I don't want to sleep after eating?"
Fu Yanzhi: "..."
Ji Qingying looked at his stiff expression and didn't approach.
Looking at the colorful lollipop in her hand, she was a little surprised: "How come there are lollipops in your house?"
"It was sent by the children in the hospital."
It is afternoon.
Fu Yanzhi examined a child with congenital heart disease, and she gave it before leaving.
The child's mother told him that it was a reward for her obediently taking medicine and injections these days. She was not willing to take it, and said she would give it to him.
Thinking of this, he looked down at Ji Qingying: "Are you free in a few days?"
"Yes, I have."
Ji Qingying didn't even think about it: "If you find me, you will be free anytime."
Fu Yanzhi was stunned by her straightforwardness.
For the first time, he couldn't find words to respond, and he was speechless: "How do you—"
He couldn't find the right words.
Ji Qingying raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Isn't that showing your determination?"
She turned the lollipop in her hand: "I have to remind you all the time that you are on my mind."
Fu Yanzhi: "..."
The author has something to say: Ji Meiren: I see how long you can resist! !
Dr. Fu: …
