The next day, Ji Yi woke up with the clock pointing to 3:36 in the afternoon.
She crawled out of the quilt, got out of bed lightly, and wanted to take a bath before he woke up. Ji Chengyang, who was sleeping next to him, seemed to have no signs of waking up.
In the impression of her boyhood, she had never seen him showing such tiredness and weakness...
She took a shower and walked out of the bathroom with wet hair. She wondered if she wanted to wake him up for a bite now, or let him sleep a little longer so that she could solve it with dinner.
When she thought so, she heard a noise behind her.
At the same time, there was a voice at the gate. Ji Yi looked at He Feifei holding the key and walked in: "Something happened in Tibet—" The voice stopped abruptly, and the speaker was frightened by Ji Chengyang who walked out of the room.
He Feifei successfully appeared on the face of horror. After the horror, he was silly, guessing, stunned, embarrassed... "Teacher Ji, what a coincidence..." He Feifei laughed, "What? I didn't sleep last night, I was very sleepy, you guys. Go on, I'll go to bed first." He Feifei dropped a word, fled, and closed the door of her room.
Ji Chengyang was quite calm.
He slept next to her in a shirt and trousers last night. After sleeping all night, his shirt had some folds. However, people who are tall and in good shape will not look sloppy if they can afford clothes, but rather lazy. The hair is still so dark, but it is a lot softer than before, and it was a bit messy just after waking up...
He seemed to want to say something to her, after all, he did not choose to say it at this time, this morning.
Suddenly, Ji Yi was hit by a colleague and roommate in such a thing, and there was a feeling of embarrassment mixed with sweetness. With her hands, she gently evened out some of the folds of his shirt, and murmured: "I should have taken off my clothes and slept yesterday..." She didn't say the rest, because even she had noticed that it was wrong. Where.
"Yes," he chuckled in a low voice, "should undress and sleep."
Knowing that he did it on purpose, Ji Yi bit his lower lip lightly and turned away stiffly: "Are you tired after sleeping for so long?"
"Tired," he continued to laugh, "The bed is too small, and the length and width are not suitable for me to sleep. It is estimated that the landlord never considered renting the house to a man. The size is so small. The size of the room is too small," he Reached out and touched the top of the door frame, "It feels like walking in your house, you can always bump into something."
You are so tall, of course you will feel small...
Ji Yi was very satisfied with her new home and looked around: "It's good, I don't need much space, I have very few things, and I can put it in a small corner."
There are very few things, so you can put them in a small corner.
She wanted to say something similar more than two years ago, but she didn't say it.
Like all seniors, she was trying to find a job before she got accurate information to enter the China Foreign Affairs University. Interviews one after another, from major presentations in the school to online recruitment, and large-scale job fairs for college students, she never let go. At noon that day, she and her classmates walked out of the college student recruitment fair of the National Exhibition and received a call from her father.
She and her father have always been the most distant, and can't say a few words in a year. Suddenly seeing the caller number, my nervous heart was pounding, not knowing what was going on. I am looking forward to the call, I can hear a sentence about how I’ve been looking for a job recently, but I’m afraid to answer it...
She remembered looking at the phone for more than ten seconds, and then she mustered up the courage to pick it up.
"Looking for a job recently?" Dad said in a very businesslike tone.
"Yeah," she imagined like her classmates who could complain to her parents when she picked up the phone. There are so many people looking for jobs this year. This kind of large-scale job fair is particularly unreliable. The recruitment of those big companies takes seven or eight rounds, which is simply torturing. , But after struggling for a while, I still simply said: "I think I will find it soon..."
"Oh, that's good. My house here is about to sell. Move your luggage these days. Do you have the key?"
She was stunned, and the circles under her eyes immediately turned red.
Those were some things she moved out of Ji Chengyang's house. Because of the limited space in the dormitory, they were temporarily placed in her parents' house. Suddenly I was told that I needed to move, and I felt that I would never have a home anymore. I didn't know how to go in the future.
"Sisi?"
She replied in a daze, and said, "No, there will be no keys after moving... I'll go to pick them up in the afternoon. You can give the keys to the neighbor or leave my luggage at the neighbor's house, I'll get them..."
After the phone was hung up, Ji Yi was still looking at the phone, and kept picking the pink sticker on the phone with his thumb. Soon, he muffled and said to his classmates that he was going to buy a bottle of water to drink. Before the classmate could answer, he ran to the newsstand across the road. After holding back the tears, he took a bottle of mineral water and handed the money to the old aunt who was busy sorting out the newspaper.
…
At the end of spring and early summer of that year, she checked the admission results on the website.
At that time, I felt relieved and finally had a place to stay.
When I first graduated, the people in the dormitory knew that she was from Beijing, but they never saw her go home on weekends. It was always strange and kindly asked a few words. Ji Yi took it hastily, and then everyone got used to it and stopped asking questions anymore.
Ji Yi and Ji Chengyang were talking, opened the refrigerator door, took out the big carton of three yuan milk bought yesterday, and wanted to give him a drink to cushion his stomach. Unexpectedly, she turned around again, and Ji Chengyang had already pulled out a key from her pocket.
The silver anti-theft door key belongs to his house. There is a very new keychain on the tail of the key. It is a handmade doll dotted with crystals, which is funny and cute.
Ji Yi's eyelashes flickered slowly, looking at the key quietly.
He said: "I guess you will like this keychain."
She didn't say a word.
"Give me your hand." His voice told her.
She stretched out her hand slowly, palm up, watching the key fall on her palm.
"Are there any new toothbrushes here?" He lowered his head and touched her forehead with his chin. "It is very uncomfortable without washing."
"Ah, yes."
Ji Yi went back to the room to look through the spare supplies he bought yesterday, and then heard him continue to say: "I will go home to pack some things tonight. I may stay in the hospital for a while." His words sounded sparse and ordinary.
"Hospitalized?" She panicked, holding an unopened toothbrush in her hand, and turned around.
"Sisi." He whispered her name, trying to comfort her in this way.
Ji Yi's head buzzed, and all kinds of bad conjectures emerged, but he was afraid to ask, and didn't know which sentence to ask first: "What's wrong with you, why are you hospitalized..."
"Sisi." He whispered her name, trying to calm her down.
"Is it serious?" Ji Yi stared at him closely.
He was silent for a while, thinking about the extent to which he wanted to say: "I had surgery last year, and the recent review was not very good. I need to be admitted to the hospital for observation for a period of time." Finally, he did not forget to add, "People eat whole grains and get sick. It's normal."
Ji Chengyang persuaded her a few more words in a low voice, telling her that the doctor in charge of the operation was also in Beijing, and that the doctor knew his body best and would not cause any major problems.
Ji Yi was upset, but knew that he could not be so ignorant and let a patient comfort him in turn. She tried to relax herself and told Ji Chengyang that she had to go back to school to meet with her tutor, and then go to the hospital to accompany him.
Ji Yi went to the teacher's office and heard several teachers talking about Tibet. Only then did he remember what He Feifei said when he returned home, "There is an accident in Tibet". Suddenly a group of people were beating, smashing, looting and burning on the Duo Senge Road Commercial Street in Lhasa. The Tibet Branch of Xinhua News Agency was on this commercial street, and it was not spared...
Panic is spreading, and everyone is wondering whether Beijing will become the next target because of the Olympics. After all, a few days ago, overseas Tibetan independence activists had just attacked the Chinese embassies and consulates in more than a dozen countries, and things happened one after another. Some people also mentioned that 9/11 in the United States was a human tragedy caused by extreme religion...
A teacher knew she was in the newspaper and asked her if she knew the new news.
She shook her head, her depressed mood became even more unstable, and she just wanted to return to Ji Chengyang as soon as possible.
At about seven o'clock, Ji Yi arrived at the hospital and packed dinner for two in the restaurant at the door.
She found the ward according to the floor he said, and just about to knock on the door, she saw a guest inside through the small vertical glass on the door. A very familiar figure, before she thought of who it was, the person stood up.
She was stunned, it was Nuannuan's father.
She looked at Nuan Nuan's father on Ji Chengyang's shoulder and patted the cards lightly, as if she was about to say goodbye to leave. Sure enough, just when she took a step back, not knowing whether to greet her or avoid it, Ji Chengyang had already opened the door of the ward.
The two spaces separated by a door merge like this.
She froze there.
Nuannuan's father was also stunned, obviously surprised: "Isn't this... Sixi?"
She was a little cramped: "Uncle Ji."
The little man, dressed in blue jeans and a thin white sweater, stood in front of the elders, holding his coat obediently. In the eyes of Nuannuan's father, she was still the little girl who was very close to her daughter.
"Have been busy studying in recent years? Haven't come to see Nuan Nuan?" Nuan Nuan's father said casually, paused for a while, remembering Ji Yi's special situation, changed the subject, and went to see Ji Chengyang. Why did you run into it by such a coincidence?"
Ji Chengyang hasn't had time to say anything.
Ji Yi blurted out: "I happened to meet it by chance."
After she finished speaking, she realized that she was still carrying the lunch box, and became more unnatural, and hid the lunch box behind her back.
Ji Chengyang lowered his head and glanced at her.
"Oh, that's it," Nuannuan's father didn't ask much, but in the tone of his brother, he finally persuaded Ji Chengyang: "If you have divorced, don't say at home beforehand. The old man is in poor health and is getting older. I like to hear good news, but I can’t accept this kind of news. Chengyang, you should know that your position in our house is very special, and his father hopes you will have a good life."
Without a word, Ji Chengyang sent Nuannuan's father to the elevator. Ji Yi stood at the door of the ward waiting for him to come back. The moment she heard that paragraph, she was a little stupid, but she quickly understood the reason behind this sentence.
She held her hands upside down, her hands clasping each other unconsciously.
Then he paced slowly on the empty floor, waiting for Ji Chengyang.
The nurses at the service desk in the distance were chatting in low voices, far away, I couldn't hear what they were talking about. After a while, Ji Chengyang walked back from the corner of the corridor, and she unexpectedly noticed that he was wearing a hospital gown, and he put his black coat on him, looking so thin in the early spring weather.
When she went upstairs just now, she paid special attention to it, wondering what kind of ward it was, but he lived in a special place, so she couldn't see what was going on.
"Why don't you go in and wait for me?" He walked up to him in a daze.
