It was 4:30 in the afternoon when the bottles were finished, she and Chen Si went out, and Chi Zheng went to get the car. It was a Suzuki van, the Dipper. He drove the car slowly to the entrance of the hospital, through the windshield. When she saw him, it was like the momentary staring at him in the hospital before, and then hurriedly moved away.
In the car, Chen Si smiled and chatted with her.
"Live at school alone now?"
She nodded, "Yeah."
Chi Zheng drove the car with an expression on his face, and glanced at the rearview mirror lightly.
"Girls must be safe alone."
"I know, Teacher Chen."
Chen Si patted her hand: "Are you going to come to the hospital tomorrow for a bottle?"
"Ah, no, just today."
"That's good."
She smiled, and Chen Si looked up at the person in the driver's seat, "Send me off first, and send Sheng Nan to school later."
Chi Zheng made a 'huh' sound.
"Go home for dinner tonight." Chen Si said again.
"Understood." He looked ahead, lightly.
When Chen Si arrived, he asked for her phone number, and Chi Zheng and she both got out of the car. Chen Sifei wanted to go in by himself, and before leaving, he pulled Chi Zheng and asked, "Will you return to the store after delivering Sheng Nan?"
"Yeah." Chi Zheng said, "I have to send the car to Shi Jin."
"Then remember to come back early."
After Chen Si finished speaking, he smiled and said goodbye to her. I haven't seen her for several years, and the woman's body is deteriorating. It wasn't until the figure slowly disappeared that she and Chi Zheng got into the car. She was about to pull the rear door when he grabbed one hand.
"Sit up front," he said.
She looked back at him, and walked around to the co-pilot silently. As soon as the car started, she sneezed.
He looked over, "Is it okay to just use a bottle for a day?"
Meng Shengnan rubbed his nose.
"Um."
There was no words in the car for a while, but Meng Shengnan was a little cautious.
"What do you teach?" he asked suddenly.
Meng Shengnan: "English."
Hearing this, Chi Zheng laughed out loud.
She didn't know if he thought of something or just smiled politely and listened to him.
"amazing."
"ah?"
He turned the steering wheel and said, "It's okay."
Outside the window, rows of shops on the side of the road fell behind the field of vision. Meng Shengnan tilted his head to look seriously, and didn't speak any more. At that time, she felt inexplicably extremely calm. red light. He turned his head and looked at her for a while. When the light turned green, he looked away.
The car was a little stuffy, so she rolled open the window.
Fresh air blows in, and I immediately feel refreshed. She closed her eyes and breathed lightly, then slowly opened them again. Turning at the intersection, he glanced at her.
"Are you motion sick?"
Meng Shengnan turned her head, "It's okay."
After a twenty-minute drive, he drove to the school gate. Meng Shengnan got out of the car and looked through the half-opened window.
"Thank you for today."
"Need not."
"Then I'll go first, you—drive slowly on the road."
He said 'hmm'.
After all, he drove away. Meng Shengnan walked along the road to the school. At that time, the students were still in the classroom. She had just walked to the first floor of the teaching building when someone photographed her behind her.
"Have you been sick?"
Kobayashi asked with a smile, and she nodded.
"Is it better?"
"good."
The two walked towards the apartment, Xiao Lin rolled his eyes slyly, and asked, "Who was that man who brought you back just now?"
Meng Shengnan was stunned for a while before saying, "High school classmate."
"Is it?"
"yes."
Xiao Lin suddenly said: "He seems to have been following you."
"ah?!"
She was frightened, and turned her head to look quickly, but there was no one behind her.
Kobayashi laughed.
"Just kidding, I see how nervous you are."
She regained her composure and glared at Xiao Lin.
"Is there anyone as cute as you?"
Kobayashi looked at her deeply.
Meng Shengnan changed the subject and asked, "You haven't finished class yet, did you come back from outside?"
Kobayashi laughed.
"My boyfriend rarely has time in the afternoon, so he went out for a walk."
She also laughed, "It seems that my day to eat wedding candy is not far away."
When this topic was mentioned, Kobayashi laughed even wider.
"By the way, are you still going to the hospital tomorrow?"
"It's going to be three days," she said.
Thinking of the lie I told just now, I couldn't help but feel ashamed. Back in the house, she lay down and fell asleep after drinking the medicine. It was still bright outside, and the sun was slowly disappearing. The man driving the van had just arrived at the store for a while, and he hadn't finished a cigarette yet.
He was biting his cigarette, staring at the computer parts and thinking about it.
Shi Jin came back from the outside and entered the store, "Did you take Auntie home?"
"Um."
Chi Zheng stopped, kicked an object out of his pocket and threw it over to him.
"Your car keys." He took down the cigarette.
Shi Jin took it, "Success, I'll deliver the goods first."
The man didn't even raise his head.
Shi Jin sighed, and walked out while talking to himself, "Just let go of your old job just like this, I don't think you can let it go." After speaking, he had already walked to the side of the car and opened the car, Shi Jin was taken aback. He glanced at the mobile phone left on the co-pilot, bent down to take it over, smiled, and turned back to the shop.
Hearing footsteps, Chi Zheng thought there was a visitor.
Looking up, Shi Jin smiled maliciously, "Where did you go?"
"how?"
Shi Jin leaned on the glass cabinet and asked, "After seeing off auntie, how about a date?"
Chi Zheng glanced over coldly.
"It's okay, get out now."
Shi Jin smiled hippie and refused to leave, "I said, do you like that woman?"
Chi Zheng raised his eyes, "Who?"
"Tsk, the one who asked you to fix your phone last time?"
Chi Zheng didn't make a sound for a long time, but Shi Jin suddenly felt something was going on.
"Did you really like it?"
"Fuck." Chi Zheng glanced at Shi Jin lightly, with deep eyelid creases.
"Get out or not?"
Shi Jin shrugged his shoulders and threw the things in his hand to him.
"What's this?"
Chi Zheng took the phone and couldn't help frowning.
"That woman's?"
Chi Zheng's lips were pursed into a line.
"I said how long have you been dry, this is really good."
Chi Zheng held the phone and glanced over.
"Let's go." Shi Jin shut up, walked out, looked back again, and smiled.
Outside, the wind blows up the street. Shi Jin's car has gone away, and the front of the store is deserted. Inside, the man at the table played with his mobile phone, lit another cigarette and smoked, his expression was opaque for a while, and he was deeply confused.
In the evening, Chi Zheng locked the door of the store and rode his bicycle home.
Chen Si was busy in the kitchen, and turned his head when he heard the sound, "I'm back."
Chi Zheng glanced around: "Where's Mama Yang?"
"I asked her to go back first. Mom will make it for you tonight."
Chi Zheng frowned, "This is not an example."
As he spoke, he took the knife that was cutting vegetables in Chen Si's hand, "I'll do it."
Chen Si let him stand aside.
"Mom is much better today."
Chi Zheng: "That won't work either."
Chen Si smiled, "Did you send Sheng Nan to school?"
"Um."
"I've liked this girl since I was a teenager. She is good-natured and sensible. Mom asked today, but she didn't have a boyfriend. I think you two are quite familiar, have you met before?"
Chi Zheng was cutting potato shreds, when he heard this, his eyes fell somewhere.
"Several times."
Chen Si asked, "What do you think?"
Chi Zheng raised his eyes and smiled.
"Mom, what's your idea?"
Chen Si smiled at him, "You don't know what I'm thinking, I'm in my mid-twenties and I don't even have a girlfriend."
Chi Zheng: "Isn't there no Shi Jin?"
"I can't say no to you." Chen Si said, "Anyway, I like this girl Sheng Nan very much. You can figure it out."
Chi Zheng smiled helplessly.
Chen Si said again: "I heard from her mother before that Sheng Nan likes to write stories, and he also participates in Shanghai's new concepts. He has a good literary talent."
"Is it."
Chi Zheng's eyes were calm and thoughtful.
After eating, he went up to the second floor and took a simple cold shower. Wrapping a bath towel around his lower body, he returned to the room, his hair was still dripping water, it snaked along the back of his chest, and slipped under the bath towel. He leaned against the window and lit a cigarette, lowering his eyebrows in thought. Not knowing what he was thinking of, he frowned and opened the drawer.
The night light hit the glass, and the man took out the meditation book.
His eyes narrowed.
It was as dark as ink outside, and everything rested and rested. At that time, Meng Shengnan had just woken up after falling asleep. She checked the time, and it was not yet nine o'clock. He got out of bed in a daze and poured water to drink, and just took a sip when he heard someone knock on the door.
"Why are you here so late?" She opened the door, and it was Qi Qiao.
Qi Qiao walked around her without even saying a word.
"I got sick?"
She had a stuffy nose, "I have a bit of a cold."
The two entered the small living room, and Qi Qiao took a big sip of the water she had just put on the coffee table.
"Scared me to death, I thought what happened to you."
"What's wrong?"
Qi Qiao sighed, "I called you more than a dozen times, why didn't anyone answer?"
Meng Shengnan was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and went to look for it.
"Isn't it lost?" Qi Qiao asked
She looked around and sat down on the sofa tired.
"Maybe it might be."
Qi Qiao let out an 'ah'.
"What's wrong with you calling me this afternoon?"
She raised her arm, turned her back to Qi Qiao, and shook it.
"The hospital is using a bottle, and I want you to accompany me."
Qi Qiao leaned in front of her, "Yo, do you still love my baby?"
"Go." Meng Shengnan couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Would you like Song Jiashu to pick you up later?"
Qi Qiao shook her head.
"I'll sleep with you tonight, welcome?"
Meng Shengnan gave the woman a disgusted look and shook his head.
Qi Qiao took a deep breath angrily: "Not welcome?"
"Shall I think about it again?"
Qi Qiao hummed, "You're smart."
"Are you willing to let Song Jiashu guard the empty boudoir alone?"
Qi Qiao giggled, "Now you know how much I love you."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
The two quarreled and joked, and then fell asleep. One bed, two quilts. The bedside lamp is warm yellow and on. Qi Qiao looked at the wall above her head and asked her.
"Nan Nan."
"Um?"
"Why did you break up with Lu Sibei?"
Meng Shengnan didn't know either. Both of them were busy at the time. It seems that he doesn't know when he has less phone calls and fewer text messages. Meng Shengnan is the kind of person who almost never takes the initiative, and gradually has fewer contacts and talks. Separated by two places, breaking up is natural.
"It's not suitable." She replied Qi Qiao.
After one night, Qi Qiao left the next morning, and she didn't say that she would fight for three days. Qi Qiao has been busy these two days, office workers, from eight to six. She had a class at ten o'clock in the morning, and after eleven o'clock she simply ate outside and took the bus to the hospital.
The doctor prescribed an extra bottle of glucose today.
She sat on the bench, thinking that she would go out and buy a new mobile phone later. It will take some time to look up at the medicine in the hanging bottle. She lowered her head, killing time bit by bit. Sitting opposite is a mother and daughter, the child is four or five years old. Just after the injection, my mother coaxed me. She watched quietly, feeling peaceful. Later, the mother and daughter also left.
It was noon, and the corridor was very quiet.
A man was smoking a cigarette at the stairway, his eyes fell on this side. He looked at it for a while, then stubbed out the cigarette and came over. Meng Shengnan was looking down at the hand with the needle inserted, when a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Didn't you say one day?"
