In the middle of the night, Wen Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She turned on her phone and saw that it was already half past one in the morning.
As soon as she closes her eyes, she will recall the scene of holding He Yan's hand in the supermarket. It obviously only happened for a moment, but like an old wine, it becomes richer and richer with more aftertaste, and the excitement of accelerated heartbeat penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
She exhaled hot air, took a pillow and pressed it on her head, forcing herself to calm down.
After a few minutes, she failed. Instead of calming down, her body became a little irritable. Even her mouth and tongue became dry, and she wanted to take a sip of ice water.
Before opening the refrigerator door, my eyes inadvertently glanced at the thermos jug placed on the cooking table next to me, and there was a note posted on it.
Wen Xi picked it up and read it suspiciously. There was only one line on it -
[Drink before going to bed to help you sleep and calm your nerves.]
The handwriting is vigorous but neat, very much like the owner.
Wen Xi suddenly remembered that she had been pestered by Huan Huan for a while after the meal. He Yan was still in the kitchen at that time, and it must have been the soothing tea she brewed at that time.
Her heart felt as if a warm current had been injected into her, and her lips slowly curled into a warm smile.
The effect of this tea was indeed obvious. After drinking it, she fell asleep not long after.
The next day she was woken up by the sun. She took her phone and took a look. It was seven-thirty in the morning, neither early nor late.
There was a message from Yixia on WeChat. After she clicked play, she closed her eyes and listened.
"Wen Xi, did you go to the audition last night?" - the first voice message.
"I joined the crew's group and added a screenwriter lady. I heard from her that Li Xin has been initially cast for the role of Nong Sang. I don't know whether she has signed the contract or not. She is a senior."
Hearing Li Xin's name, Wen Xi thought that maybe this was fate.
The Nong Sang she saw in the drama in her previous life was played by Li Xin.
It seems that some things are already destined.
She replied to Isha and told the general situation, and Isha replied instantly.
"He really didn't give you a chance to audition? Why don't you try again? I heard that Li Xin was not the director's most satisfied. He said she was lacking some charm or something, and I couldn't tell anyway. "
Some things just don't require hard work. When things got to this point, Wen Xi also knew that he was not destined for this role, so he stopped forcing it.
After washing, she tied her hair into a ponytail, feeling fresh and clean before going downstairs.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I heard the doorbell.
"Sister Wen—"
Childish shouts came in, and Wen Xi smiled unconsciously and walked out with light steps.
When I arrived at the door, I saw the little guy standing there alone, holding a bag of breakfast in his hand.
"Why is it just you, where is your second uncle?"
The little guy ran in the door and said, "Second uncle was called away from work and has to undergo an emergency surgery."
As he said that, he raised his head and bared his teeth in a smile, "So it's just me and Sister Wen playing! This is the breakfast that my second uncle bought for us."
After Wen Xi walked into the house with her child, she received a message from He Yan, asking her to help take care of Huanhuan.
She typed a few words and replied—
"You can go ahead with peace of mind."
Anyway, besides hanging out with Jiang Ke, she had nothing to do, so it wouldn't be a problem to bring the little one with her.
She really likes children, and she doesn't feel tired after playing with them for a long time. It's noon in a blink of an eye, and she lets her children watch TV and then makes lunch.
Halfway through, Huanhuan suddenly ran over to her holding the fashion magazine she usually read, pointed at a ring and asked her, "Sister Wen, do you like this?"
Wen Xi glanced at it and smiled, "I like it."
"I think it looks good too. Okay, I'll buy it for you when I grow up. Before then, you can't wear it from another man."
"You're a little kid, okay, sister, I promise you."
After saying that, Wen Xi put the beef into the oil pan and stir-fried.
The little guy stood on tiptoes and stared into the pot, his eyes lit up, "Wow~ It smells so good."
Wen Xi smiled softly, "Go out and wait for a while. You can eat it soon."
The little guy didn't go out, so he said, "My luck is better than my second uncle's. Today he can only eat takeout, but I can eat the food cooked by Sister Wen."
After saying that, he shook his finger again, "No, no, my great-grandmother said that my second uncle didn't eat on time every time he had an operation, and he also suffered from stomach problems. My great-grandmother and eldest grandma have told me about him many times."
Wen Xi listened thoughtfully.
She was like this many times in her previous life. When she was busy with major surgery, she didn't want to do anything else after the surgery. She just wanted to close her eyes and rest.
Over the years, her stomach became fragile.
"Sister Wen, where should we go to play after dinner?"
Wen Xi was thinking about something, and when Huanhuan asked him, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
She lowered her head and said to him, "Would you like to go to the park and play?"
"Okay! Are you going with the war song?"
Wen Xi scooped the vegetables into the rice plate and said warmly, "I won't take it with you anymore. We have to go to the hospital to deliver food to your second uncle before we go to the park. It's inconvenient to take it with you."
He Yan had helped her so many times, it was time for her to return the favor.
…
When it was approaching one o'clock, she took the thermos bottle and her child into the First Hospital, found the consultation desk where the cardiac surgery department was, and asked the nurse He Yan's whereabouts.
The nurse adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, her eyes under the lenses were sharp and alert, "Do you have anything to do with Dr. He?"
"I'm here to deliver food to my second uncle." The little guy replied crisply.
"Second uncle... It turns out to be the second uncle." The little nurse smiled immediately, and her attitude changed completely. "Dr. He has just completed an operation. He is probably back in the office now. I will take you there."
When they arrived at the door of an office, the nurse knocked twice but received no answer. Then she took the initiative to open the door and went in. She took a quick look and saw no trace of He Yan.
"Yeah, I guess Dr. He went to the ward to see patients. Whenever he's here, patients come to see him. It's a common thing. Why don't you go in and sit for a while, and I'll go tell him."
Wen Xi nodded, "Sorry to trouble you."
The nurse led the door out. Wen Xi took the child and sat down at the reception table by the wall. His eyes scanned the furnishings in the entire office. They were simple and elegant. Almost everything was related to medicine and nothing else.
After a while, there were footsteps outside the door, and Wen Xi immediately stood up and faced the door.
The moment the door opened, He Yan stood there, wearing an ordinary white coat, but with a kind of charm that couldn't be taken away.
The moment their eyes met, he smiled at her.
"Doctor He."
The sudden female voice made him turn around, and Wen Xi had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
I heard a female voice outside the door say, "This is the pig's trotter soup made by my mother herself, as well as some simple home-cooked dishes. If Dr. He doesn't dislike it, just accept it."
Wen Xi looked over, and from her perspective, she could only see a pair of white hands handing the thermos box to He Yan.
good night.
