Zhou Yizhi originally wanted to wait for Xue Xi to come out of the doctor's office and go back with him, but she waited in the ward. Grandma fell asleep, and the nurse also rolled down the bed to tuck grandma in. I saw the figure of my brother.
Zhou Yizhi was a little puzzled, so he couldn't help saying hello to the nurse, and then went to the doctor's office to have a look.
The nurse informed her that the doctors in this department were about to leave work. There were still a lot of patients waiting for the consultation report crowded at the door, and the noise was unbearable. Zhou Yizhi glanced around, but he couldn't see Xue Xi standing out from the crowd, so he had to turn around and go out.
As soon as he turned around, there just happened to be a family member of the patient with an earthy complexion holding a white report paper and squeezing it profusely in sweat.
Zhou Yizhi was knocked away by his shoulder, losing his balance.
Someone behind her helped her, and she managed to stand still.
Zhou Yizhi retreated to the corridor, looking back, Xue Xi was standing tall behind her, blocking the noise. A few more family members came over, he stretched out his arms, pulled her behind him, and went back to the ward to get his coat.
"Brother, I thought you were leaving first." Zhou Yizhi grabbed his clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, and complained, "I was just about to call to ask why you haven't returned to the ward. Is it because the people queuing up to ask questions at the doctor's side are too Too much? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
She looked up at her brother, and for some reason, she felt that his expression was a little strange. He happened to look down at her too, wondering if it was because of the light behind him that he couldn't see his expression clearly, but felt that those pitch-black eyes were a bit unspeakably dim.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yizhi froze for a moment.
Xue Xi's Adam's apple twitched, he looked away, and said, "It's nothing."
He said, "I won't go first."
Zhou Yizhi nodded, and was about to speak when he heard his brother say, "But next time, don't wait so long."
Zhou Yizhi pouted: "Why, do you think I'm a follower?"
"...the hospital is not a good place to stay. There are many patients and there are many family members of the patients. You are weak, so it's better to come less." Xue Xi let out a breath of foul breath slowly, paused, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
There was a smile in Zhou Yizhi's eyes, she hugged his arm half coquettishly, looked up at him, and said, "I'm a little hungry, but it's okay, my classmates gave me some snacks when I was in cram school."
After she finished speaking, Xue Xi looked down at her.
She puffed up her cheeks and looked at him, thinking he was going to say something, but he was silent for a while and said nothing.
Only then did Zhou Yizhi realize that there was something strange about his brother.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
Xue Xi said: "Let's go, go home early."
"Okay, I'll think about what to have for dinner later on the way, and then I'll text Aunt He!" Zhou Yizhi smiled, and she lowered her head, seeing that his sleeves were slightly rolled up, and his fingertips were still dripping with water, as if he had washed his hands. It looks very cold.
In winter, even though there is heating in the corridors of the hospital, my elder brother at this time feels a little thin. I don't know if it is because of his slightly furrowed eyebrows.
She subconsciously wanted to hold his hand.
But before touching it, his hand just moved away quietly.
Zhou Yizhi thought it was his own delusion, raised his head and looked at Xue Xi: "What's wrong with you, is it because there are too many family members waiting in the doctor's office, the air is not fresh, and it is too crowded? Why don't you wait for my dad to come back and change one next time— —”
Zhou Yizhi looked at the surrounding wards. This is indeed the VIP ward of the inpatient department. There are more advanced and better-environment wards that only accommodate a few people on one floor, but none of those private hospitals have brain departments. The top doctor, after comprehensive consideration, Xue Xi's grandmother was arranged here.
Before she finished speaking, the teenager beside her interrupted: "No need."
Zhou Yizhi froze, raised his head to look at him, and opened his eyes slightly.
No need to look at Zhou Yizhi's expression, Xue Xi knew that his tone was a bit stiff.
A little annoyance and regret rose in his chest.
After a moment of silence, he said: "This ward is already very good, Yizhi, thank you."
"Thank you? Brother, why did you suddenly say thank you?"
Xue Xi stopped, looked at her, stretched out his hand suddenly, and slightly brushed the bangs on her forehead, with a hoarse voice: "You don't owe me anything, don't think too much, sleep well at night, okay?"
Zhou Yizhi didn't understand what he was talking about.
But in just a few sentences, the two reached the door of the ward, opened the door and went in, seeing that the old man was already asleep, Zhou Yizhi just closed his mouth and did not disturb.
She followed behind Xue Xi, Xue Xi picked up the white down jacket on the sofa, picked it up, Zhou Yizhi walked over, he put the coat on Zhou Yizhi, picked up the scarf and wrapped it around Zhou Yizhi twice.
He turned to put on his black down jacket.
Zhou Yizhi looked at the two of them, one black and one white, couldn't help curling up his lips, picked up the black scarf from the sofa, and waited for him.
Xue Xi turned around.
Zhou Yizhi stood on tiptoe, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down.
Xue Xi:
For some reason, his body was a little tense, and the moment in front of the refrigerator a few days ago was inevitably flashed in his mind, the moment when her kiss was caught off guard.
But Zhou Yizhi just stretched out his hand, imitating him to put a scarf on her, and wrapped the scarf around his head crookedly in the same way.
Seeing Xue Xi's head being wrapped into a rice dumpling by himself, Zhou Yizhi crazily held back his laughter.
Xue Xi had no choice but to hold her shoulders with both hands, and pushed her out of the ward.
The weather was foggy and there was light snow. As soon as Zhou Yizhi was led out of the hospital by Xue Xi, she took the initiative to stuff her hands into his pockets. Xue Xi glanced at her and said, "My hands are very cold."
Zhou Yizhi rolled his eyes: "Don't be afraid, my hands are hot."
In his pocket, she held his hand, and Zhou Yizhi felt her brother dodge again, but after all, the pocket is so big, there is no way to dodge it, so she held his hand accurately, this time, Zhou Yizhi was satisfied.
She looked up at the fluttering snow in a happy mood, and said: "Tomorrow, the class will organize a winter outing to climb the mountain. After climbing the mountain, there will be the final exam. After the final exam, it will be the Chinese New Year."
The two walked side by side towards the parking lot. Xue Xi couldn't help but think of what she was thinking at that time when she suddenly jumped into his arms when she met a dog. Because he felt that he had paid too much in the last life, so he couldn't bear it. In this life, do you force yourself to get close to him, to get close to him? Did she ever feel embarrassed
During the thunderstorm not long ago, when she told herself that she didn't hate herself, she looked at herself, sniffed, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry. What was she thinking that night
Xue Xi never thought that his devotion to her would become a burden to change her life path.
He didn't know how to tell Zhou Yizhi, he just watched her walk in front and saw her safe, it was just his wish, if she turned around, he would be happy, but he didn't want her, it was because of guilt And look back.
Because that means that everything he does is like a heavy burden, becoming a weapon to coerce her, making her breathless, making her cry, making her sad, making her do things she doesn't want to do against her will .
Xue Xi closed his eyes and stopped in his footsteps.
Zhou Yizhi also stopped, looked at him with bright eyes, pointed to the candied haws seller not far away, and said, "Xue Xi, I want to eat that."
Xue Xi went over and bought her a bunch.
When taking out the money, he had to take his hand out of his pocket, and Zhou Yizhi continued to hold his hand.
Xue Xi held Zhou Yizhi's hand instead, without saying anything, just stuffed her hand back into his warm pocket.
He paid, and the two continued toward the parking lot.
Zhou Yizhi held up the candied haws, took a bite, and was about to hand it over to Xue Xi to take a bite.
Xue Xi looked at her sideways, but suddenly said: "Yizhi, I want to talk to you."
The days in winter are very long, the street lights are already on, and when the two of them talk, there will be white mist, fine flakes of snow falling on Xue Xi's shoulders, Zhou Yizhi's eyes are bright, and he said with a smile: "What a coincidence?! I also have something to say want to say."
Xue Xi paused slightly when he heard the words, a little surprised, reached out to pick off a snowflake from her head, rubbed her head casually, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to say, you say it first."
No matter what he said, he was ready.
If she didn't take the initiative to mention the things of the previous life, he would take the initiative to mention that the things of the previous life had passed, she was still so young, and he didn't want her to live with guilt. Everything is his will, she should not be bound.
"Then I said it." Zhou Yizhi swallowed. She felt that the atmosphere here was really not good. On the square outside the hospital, there were aunts and uncles dancing in the square, and children wearing thick clothes holding neon balloons Running and chasing, small vendors sell steamed cakes with steaming steam.
Too noisy.
But the snowflakes were pouring, and she felt that it would be good to say it here, she must find a place to find a time to say it.
Otherwise, just after kissing, maybe my brother doesn't understand what I mean
She wasn't nervous at all, but she looked into Xue Xi's dark eyes, and the fingers in his pocket gradually intertwined with his. The sky was dim, and the street lamps cast shadows. She looked at the shallow breaths of the two. The white mist who took a shallow breath suddenly became a little nervous again.
"Tell me." Xue Xi looked at her quietly, his heart seemed to be strangled by a big hand that didn't know which direction it was going to pull.
She is going to show off the things of her previous life.
Or, tell him about her and Lin Jiayu's progress
If it was the former, Xue Xi originally planned to say it.
But if it's the latter, Xue Xi managed to suppress the anxiety that he couldn't find the source for a few days and crept up to his heart again.
Thinking of this, he suddenly didn't dare to let Zhou Yizhi speak first, and the fingers that were pinching her hand tightened involuntarily.
"Then I really said it."
Zhou Yizhi felt that the air was very cold, but her cheeks were slightly hot. She was stuck for a long time, took a light breath, and said, "It's about the last few days, I like..."
Xue Xi suddenly spoke first: "If it's about Lin Jiayu, why don't we talk about it when we go back, it's cold outside..."
But the story is not over yet.
"...you." Zhou Yizhi jumped out the last word. After Zhou Yizhi finished speaking, he wanted to cover his face, but he actually said it.
The air was silent for a few seconds.
After realizing what Zhou Yizhi said, Xue Xi couldn't find his own heartbeat for a moment.
It took him a long time to distinguish that he had heard correctly just now, and he looked at Zhou Yizhi in astonishment, almost trembling slightly imperceptibly.
After a while, he took a breath and uttered a bewildered monosyllable: "...?"
