A few days after Ji Chengyang was hospitalized, Ji Yi’s internship officially ended. According to the previously filled out work intentions and internal assessments, she formally entered the comprehensive team of the international news editorial department, and began to work in shifts like regular employees.
The morning shift is from 8:00 to 13:30, the afternoon shift is from 13:30 to 19:30, and the night shift is from 19:30 to 24:00. There are no weekends, which is much busier than before. Because of the special nature of the International Department, there are more night shifts.
In this way, the time to see Ji Chengyang was immediately shortened.
That night, during the last ten minutes of her night shift, she was still correcting the foreign telegrams translated by the intern about the conflict between Palestine and Israel. The reporter in front had not yet received the article, so she could only quote a number of foreign news sources to write: "...President Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert agreed to restart the peace talks..."
The hand paused.
In my memory, there is a picture that coincides with this time.
At the end of 2000, about 8 years ago, she happened to see him in the midnight TV news: late at night in the torrential rain, wearing a black raincoat covered with muddy water, facing the ruins after the explosion, facing the camera to introduce the scene... She remembered clearly that when she heard the "explosion attack", she ran to the TV in a panic to see if he was injured.
At that time, he was at the scene of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
And now, she is editing news on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Because of this coincidence, this news has a temperature...
Several clocks on the wall point to different times, Tokyo, New York, Paris... The hands of the clock at Beijing time have passed twelve o'clock. She turned off the computer and quickly left the office. When she ran across the stairwell, a few foreign employees were also off work, chatting about something. When Ji Yi came downstairs from them, he obviously walked a lot faster. It didn't seem like he was tired from going to get off work, but something big happened, which attracted the attention of several foreign colleagues.
Ji Chengyang lives in a special ward with few people, so it is extremely quiet.
Every time the night shift is over, she has to pass through the silent corridor to say hello to the nurse on duty, and then she can directly enter his ward. She didn't tell him in advance today that she was coming over, guessing that he should be asleep, but the nurse told her that Ji Chengyang was not in the ward: "Mr. Ji said he wants to go out to get some air, so he should be back soon."
It shouldn't be the first time listening to the nurse's tone.
The other party saw that she was a little worried, and added another sentence, almost every day when she is not coming, so don't worry too much.
Ji Yi barely felt relieved when the nurse said so.
His phone was left in the room, she leaned on the sofa, waited for a while, and fell asleep. In my sleep, I don’t know how long it took, but I felt that someone patted her in the dark, and asked in a low voice: "Should I go to bed to sleep?"
"Yeah." Ji Yi responded consciously.
When he felt he was being hugged, he woke up suddenly.
She was already surrounded by his arms and legs, still struggling lightly, and whispered: "I'll go by myself..." Ji Chengyang heard what she meant, because he was afraid that he would find it difficult to hold her.
"I will hug you over," his voice was calm in the darkness, "When I can walk, hug my girlfriend more, and it won't hurt."
Faint self-ridicule.
But there is also a sad feeling.
Ji Yi was afraid that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything more, and when he felt lighter, he was picked up by him. She pressed her face to the position of his neck, silently counting every step, praying that the distance would be closer, and when she fell on the bed, she finally let go of her hanging heart: "Where have you been? Go out so late. "
"Can't sleep, just walk around."
"Are you in a bad mood?" She took off her shoes.
"Habitual insomnia." He said simply.
There was a bed in this ward, and it was not the first time she slept here, but she didn't expect that just after pulling the pillow, Ji Chengyang turned sideways and lay down. Although it was a widened bed, the two of them were still very crowded. Ji Yi was quiet, leaned against his arms and touched his hand. It was a bit cold, the temperature just came back from the outside.
"I was writing a briefing on the Palestine-Israel conflict. I remembered one thing," she whispered, resting her forehead on his shoulder, "Do you remember, have you been to the Middle East?"
He recalled slightly: "I have been there several times."
"The first time I saw you on TV, it was when you were in Palestine, in 2000, if you remember correctly..."
"The explosion hit the scene in 2000?" Ji Chengyang's memory is amazing.
"Um..." she muttered softly, "good memory."
He is noncommittal.
What Ji Yi wants to share is actually a feeling, but she really wants to say it in words and it’s difficult. She can’t express it straightforwardly. Back then, she stood in front of the TV screen like a little nympho, and wondered if he had any. Injured, even stupidly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch his face on the screen.
He didn't say anything when her heart was ups and downs.
After a while, she thought, he should be tired and asleep.
Give a good night kiss...
Quietly…
She slowly raised her head, and before she found the target she wanted to kiss, she felt a soft warmth on her lips. Obviously it was a temporary intention of one person, but it seemed that two people had discussed it beforehand. She didn't know if everyone kissed like this. Every time it was kissed by him, there was a feeling that the soul was out of the body, all the senses. Consciousness has become very fuzzy.
Ji Chengyang's hand slid down and held her waist, which was very thin with a concave arc.
"Itch." Ji Yi whispered for mercy.
His body is unexpectedly sensitive and longing for her tonight. After all, he is already a thirty-one-year-old man. Although he no longer has the urge to wait in his twenties, what lies beside him is his love. For a girl who has been for many years, this is a test of willpower.
He does not enter, but it is difficult to retreat.
She was passive, cooperating strangely in his closeness.
It took an hour before the almost tormenting entanglement came to an end. Ji Yi's chest was slightly swollen and painful because of being kissed by him, violently ups and downs, and his body was soaked with fine sweat.
She was so in the darkness, in his arms, falling asleep with sweat and heat.
On Friday, Ji Chengyang made an appointment for a PET examination.
Because the results of the examination were always not good, several experts consulted him and referred to his past cases, and even suspected that he was at risk of lymphoma. So the doctor recommended him to take a PET examination to see if there are tumors in other parts of the body, in case there is any misjudgment.
When the result came out, she didn't even know if it was good news.
He needs surgery to remove his spleen.
Facing this surgical proposal, Ji Chengyang accepted it quite calmly. Even the friend of Ji Chengyang followed to comfort Ji Yi: "You know, spleenectomy is not that scary. I have seen many patients who fell down from several floors, or If you gather people to fight or something, if your spleen is ruptured, you will have your spleen removed. You see, life is so impermanent..."
No matter how relaxed the doctor said, Ji Yi didn't feel relaxed at all.
When there was no one in the ward, she leaned heartily next to the bed and put her face against his wrist. The more she thought about it, the more blunt pain in her heart, she turned her face to look at the scar on his wrist.
After watching it for a few seconds, I couldn't bear it.
Put your face on it, and use your body next to him like a kitten, as if you can share his pain in this way.
In the sun, she felt Ji Chengyang stroke her hair with her hand.
"Didn't the doctor say that you can leave the hospital before the operation? Let's go home and stay for a few days."
Ji Chengyang didn't speak, but instead patted the back of her head.
Ji Yi was a little strange. He raised his head and saw that there were already a few more people at the door of the ward. Ji Yi hurriedly got up from the chair beside the bed, and because he stood too quickly, he knocked the chair over.
There was a loud noise, which was particularly abrupt and harsh in the quiet room.
Nuan Nuan’s parents looked at each other and quickly and calmly communicated this shocking situation with their eyes. Ji Chengyang did not feel embarrassed or surprised by being crushed. He got out of the hospital bed and said, “The second wife just called me, I I just said I don't need to come over."
Nuan's father looked very serious, as if he was still thinking about this situation and the series of effects it would cause.
Nuan Nuan’s mother quickly reacted and patted the back of Ji Nuan Nuan, who was more frightened than Ji Yi’s side: "We adults have something to talk about. You and Xixi are going to go shopping, don’t you want to try on the dress? Go ahead."
Ji Nuannuan stunned, and soon realized that he wanted to protect Ji Yi, and immediately pretended that nothing happened. Holding Ji Yi's hand, after hurriedly saying goodbye to his parents, he left the "case where the adultery was broken." Discovery".
When he got in the taxi, Ji Nuannuan came back with a little soul, and comforted Ji Yi in a low voice: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you have my mother, she has liked you since she was a child. I tried her a few times when I was in the UK. If you can marry your uncle, you can stay at home with me for the rest of your life. Apart from saying that I am daydreaming, she doesn't have any particularly big reactions. She must be on your side this time."
Nuan Nuan persuaded, Ji Yi was in a mess, and kept thinking about the expressions and actions of Nuan Nuan's parents just now...
He knew that they might be coming, so why didn't he remind himself
She thought about it randomly, a little annoyed that she was not careful, and even more nervous, she didn't know what the result would be after the Ji family knew about it.
The two talked for a while, and Ji Nuannuan started to talk about her sudden wedding in order to divert her attention. Unexpectedly, her boyfriend flew to Beijing to propose to her a week ago. It is said that in addition to Grandpa Ji, everyone in the Ji family is very satisfied with this Chinese man who does not speak Chinese. In a surprise, Ji Nuannuan agreed to get married and began to prepare for his wedding.
"Why haven't you told me?" Ji Yi looked at her questioningly.
Such a big event is still a happy event, according to Ji Nuannuan's character, he will definitely tell himself the first time.
"I was a little stupid at the time, now I think about it... I don't know if I should get married," Ji Nuannuan's words flickered, "You said, would I regret it? I promised it so quickly."
Ji Yi didn't quite understand it.
But I didn't quite understand it. When the two of them arrived at the store where they ordered the dresses, they were puzzled.
She saw that the facial features in front of her hadn't changed much, but her overall temperament was like Xiao Jun who had changed herself. He sat in the lounge area, flipping through the magazines he had, and asking about Ji Nuannuan's wedding date. Whether it’s gestures, facial expressions, or talk, he looks like a vicissitudes of life over thirty-five years old. The only thing Ji Yi can feel familiar with is the patience he showed when Ji Nuannuan had many opinions on dress styles. .
Ji Yi remembers that when he was in high school, he would often accompany Ji Nuannuan to dinner in the nearby Xianzonglin, waiting for Xiao Jun to pick him up.
At that time, Xiao Jun would still complain that Ji Nuannuan could not live, but the simple black pepper beef tenderloin cost so much money to eat, and after complaining, he was willing to pay for Nuannuan.
later…
"Sixi, you look at..." Xiao Jun looked at her carefully, "It's still the same as before, not very talkative, doesn't it feel unfamiliar? I haven't seen it for so many years?" "No," Ji Yi smiled, "Just a little bit Accident."
At the suggestion of the shopkeeper and tailor, Ji Nuannuan chose a few finished products to try the colors. Ji Yi looked at a floor mirror uneasy, guessing the result of that conversation, and was afraid of what Ji Chengyang would do with Nuannuan’s parents. dispute.
She has not thought about the relationship between the two families, but she has no idea at all.
It was this kind of relationship that made her want to bury herself like an ostrich and avoid confronting it directly. After all, the most important thing now is Ji Chengyang's health problems, and the other... all seem less important.
She stared at the sneakers on her feet in the mirror in a daze, until Xiao Jun patted the sofa, she realized that the phone had been ringing for a while, and the name of Ji Chengyang was clearly on the screen.
Ji Yi stood up and walked to the corner to answer the call. His voice naturally lowered, "How are you?"
"It's over," Ji Chengyang paused slightly and changed the subject. "You just said you wanted to go home on the weekend?"
"Um."
"I have just completed the temporary discharge procedures, come back earlier, I will wait for you at home."
