"Do you still want to stay in the hospital?" Ye Fei sat down opposite him, put his arms on the table, and leaned forward slightly. "The IDC is over, you don't have to hurry back, it's better to rest there. , Have a good night's sleep."

He still didn't speak.

Is your tone too caring and affectionate? Ye Fei slowly sat upright, retracting his arm in front of him. Thinking of Chen Jiajun holding the soaked T-shirt in her hand last night, shirtless, leaning close to herself, with a smile on her face, she felt a little embarrassed, stood up abruptly, and walked inside: "Everyone doesn't have to go to class, just sleep in. It feels so deserted in the shop all of a sudden."

"Ye Fei!" He turned around abruptly and grabbed her wrist, "Come on, I'll tell you something." The tone was unusually gentle.

She was a little nervous, and Chen Jiajun held her hands and sat down beside him.

He stared at Ye Fei's eyes, holding both hands tighter, she became more and more nervous in this gaze, and she lowered her head shyly.

She heard his low voice, and said every word: "Songxi, it's gone."

Ye Fei suddenly raised her head, her smile froze on her face. She said incoherently: "When is it, how is it possible? Didn't you go to the hospital? Didn't you use oxygen? He woke up last night, can talk and breathe, how is it possible! Didn't you go to the hospital? You guys Didn’t you take away several bottles of oxygen?"

Chen Jiajun's voice is low and slow: "Lung infection, acute edema, serious injury... Wanpeng is over there, and the scar is just coming back, and he will rush to the hospital." He did not say that when Songxi arrived at the hospital, his spirit had been lost and he could not respond to everyone's call.

There are still a series of procedures to go through at the hospital. Chen Jiajun instructed Wanpeng one by one to leave him the cash and bank card. He was busy all night, and even before he could take a nap, he hurried to the dock. Because he knows that someone will feel sad when he hears this bad news, and he needs him even more at this time. He had to run faster than the news and returned to her.

Ye Fei couldn't accept it for a while. She watched Songxi recover, and heard his sizzling breathing under the mask. He still held her hand and said, "Don't tell Jasmine." They rushed to the hospital on rainy nights, how could a life with breathing and heartbeat disappear out of thin air

Songxi's short curly hair, handsome face, and shark tattoo on his arms seemed to be still shaking before his eyes.

He teased her teasingly, saying, "You don't know men."

He interceded for himself in front of Chen Jiajun, and kept saying: "Faey worked very hard."

He often bought breakfast, wrapped in oil paper bag, which contained rice, curry and dried fish. He lay in a hammock leisurely and told her that island life is people come people go, whose playground is this after all.

He carried the guitar on his back, arm in arm with Jasmine, and walked along the beach, singing old songs to her by candlelight, so kiss me and smile for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.

He is lazy and casual, twists flowers and grass, does not know how to control his emotions, but he is sincere, straightforward, and simple, and he is learning to repair his faults. This mistake is not enough to make up for with life, all kinds of memories are flooding.

Ye Fei opened her mouth slightly and sat at the table blankly. Chen Jiajun held her hands and gently rubbed the back of her hands.

The phone rang and Scar came from him. He was not far from Songxi’s hometown, and he would arrive at the hospital in the afternoon—with Songxi’s family.

Ye Fei listened to Chen Jiajun's rough narration, and calmly asked: "Is there anyone else in his family?"

"There are brothers and sisters, all working outside... Scar is in contact with them, brother is not far away, should be able to rush over..." He paused, "At home, there should be only mother."

Ye Fei remembered Songxi's words. After Jasmine was with others, he complained: "I'm tired of this kind of love game, tired of this kind of island life. Maybe I should go home, grow rice with my mother, and get married. A girl from a village."

At that time, I even teased him, saying: "Can you settle for that kind of life?"

If he leaves, if he leaves here, is it all going to happen? Jasmine is still with that big guy, even if she is sad, she won't be insulted; Songxi can go home and live a peaceful and quiet life.

There were too many tears accumulated in Ye Fei's eyes, and they couldn't hold them anymore, and they fell as if the thread was broken.

"He is learning English and cooking. He is so serious and working so hard to see Jasmine again... How can he be willing to go, how is it possible..."

Chen Jiajun walked over, opened his arms, and gently hugged her in his arms. Ye Fei couldn't control herself anymore and wept sadly.

Chloe plans to take the afternoon ferry to the hospital and meet with Scar. Ye Fei and her sort out Songxi's relics to see if there are any valuables that need to be entrusted to his family.

There are not many things in Songxi's room, except for an mp3 and a small amount of cash in the drawer, there are no valuable belongings. On the back of the chair was a replaced T-shirt. Ye Fei picked it up silently and put it in the laundry basket with the beach pants thrown in the corner. She thought about it, opened the closet, and picked a few T-shirts, shirts and denim pants from the clean clothes.

"Get these first... Maybe, you can use it." Her voice choked, remembering that Songxi was soaked in the wind and rain last night and threw up again, tears fell.

There is also a children's picture book on the head of Songxi's bed, which Ye Fei gave him to learn English. She walked over and turned two pages, and her tears couldn't stop. There is a photo inside. I don't know which tourist used Polaroid to help him take a photo with Jasmine. In the blank space below the photo, it says Love forever. The two young people in the photo are beautiful and sweet.

Ye Fei looked at the photo steadily, tears constantly pouring out of his eyes.

The spare key was taken from the monkey bar. Zheng Yunchang and Chen Jiajun also followed. They did not enter the room and waited under the shade of a tree not far away. Chen Jiajun looked gloomy, picked up the cigarette and put it down.

"It's been a while since I went in." Zheng Yunchang looked at him uneasy, "If you are worried, just go over and take a look."

"Let her cry." He clutched the cigarette case. "Cry out and feel better."

The two girls came down the stairs with red eyes.

Zheng Yunchang handed an envelope to Chloe: "This is Songxi's salary this month. The extra part will be a part of KC and me."

"If you can't deal with anything, remember to call." Chen Jiajun said, "Thanks for your hard work and scars."

"It's okay, anyway, I think it's for..." Chloe flushed his eyes, trembling lightly, and took a deep breath.

"I know that you and Jasmine are good friends. So, don't tell her about this matter for now."

"I see."

"Who else might tell her the news?"

"She added the Facebook of some friends on the island, but she has rarely been online since she froze with Songxi."

"How many can you notify?" Chen Jiajun frowned, "Just say that I ordered it. If you can find anything you know about the accident, remind them not to go online. Who can you think of, it’s too late to notify," tell me."

"I'll go to the store and take a look online." Chloe nodded. "What I am worried about is, what should I do in the future? Keep it from her?"

"I don't know." He said truthfully, "What will become in the future is not what we can expect."

Ye Fei's face was wet, and she repeatedly wiped it with her palm and the back of her hand. Chen Jiajun saw her look distraught and patted her shoulder: "Everyone is hungry. Let's have lunch first."

The two girls shook their heads together, indicating that they had no appetite.

Back in the shop, Chloe sorted out Jasmine's list of friends, Chen Jiajun and her recorded it together and notified everyone separately. Ye Fei lay on the hammock, retracted her body, turned to the side, wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon. She didn't want to open her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep, only the tears kept flowing, kept flowing, as if she had lost all of her strength.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that I heard the voice of Chloe saying goodbye to everyone, and then everyone said, still sighing and feeling. Someone seemed to ask what was wrong with Ye Fei, and who stopped him as soon as he was halfway through the conversation.

The buzzing voice lowered, and gradually disappeared.

Hearing the sound of the waves stroking the beach, the gentle wind shaking the hammock... No, it's not the wind. Someone's hand gently shook her arm and shoulder, and rounded her cocoon.

Ye Fei opened his eyes ignorantly, and met Chen Jiajun's soft gaze. He asked softly: "Have you got enough sleep? Get up when you get enough sleep. I'll take you to a place."

"Where to go?" Ye Fei had just woke up, but he hadn't recovered, his eyes followed Chen Jiajun with a blurred look. Watching him walk into the equipment room, take a motorcycle helmet from the shelf.

"Go for a drive." He raised his chin. "Where's yours?"

Ye Fei found his red little Qingqi, opened the back seat, took out the light helmet inside, and then handed the car key to Chen Jiajun.

"Who said you want to ride your Xiaohong?" He smiled, "Wait for me here."

Ye Fei stood by the side of the road and waited for a few minutes, and heard the roar of the motorcycle. She thought she would see the heavy locomotive that Jarnes was riding, but the car in front of her was much more concise and smooth, with narrow wheels, and the front and rear tile covers hanging quite high, much like a cross-country motorcycle on a TV, so the passenger seat behind the car It's not spacious either.

"I thought... you would buy a Harley or something."

"Too cumbersome." He glanced at the back seat and motioned Ye Fei to sit up.

She woke up and stepped up coyly, putting her right hand on Chen Jiajun's shoulder, and her body seemed to be separated from his back.

"It's dangerous." He said, holding Ye Fei's hand around his waist.

"Oh." She replied, and her left hand was also wrapped around, her hands clasped in front of him.

The highway at one or two o'clock in the afternoon seemed to be covered with a layer of shimmering mist under the scorching sun. The motorcycle whizzed past, raising a small amount of smoke. The tall trees on the side of the road flew by, and the bright blue of the sea jumping faintly in the gaps between the trees. Chen Jiajun rode very fast. He didn't know how many times he had ridden this road. When passing by unmanned mountains, he didn't slow down very much on the bends of the highway. Ye Fei looped his arms tightly and pressed his side face to his shoulder blades, without a trace of tension in his heart.

Finally, after walking a dirt road, the motorcycle still roared all the way and drove to the end of the island a short time later. The small island protrudes obliquely from a promontory here, with arc-shaped white sandy beaches on both sides, a white lighthouse on the cliff, and a big tree with knotted branches not far away, with a canopy like a cloud.

Chen Jiajun locked the motorcycle, took off his helmet, and walked towards the tree. Ye Fei followed behind him. He had just been blown all the way by the wind, his face was a little dry, and the ends of his hair were messed up. As she walked, she adjusted her hair, and the magnificent sea was presented in front of her little by little. Near is a shallow sea of colorful corals mixed with light yellow, light blue, bright blue, and brown-green. In the distance, there seems to be an underwater cliff, which suddenly turns into a deep and secluded deep blue.

Chen Jiajun walked around from the side of the tree, walked down two steps, turned sideways, and stretched out his right hand: "Ye Fei, come here."

She followed his footsteps, and there was a gentle slope under the big tree with a thick layer of grass. Sitting there, only the vast sea and fluffy clouds in the sky were left in his eyes.

"It's so beautiful here." Ye Fei's heart seemed to open up. She took a deep breath and said sincerely, "There are no tourists yet."

"The road is not easy to walk, and it is more difficult when it rains." Chen Jiajun lay down on his back, resting his hands behind his head.

Ye Fei did what he looked like. The line of sight in front of him was just at the junction of the blue sea and blue sky. The top of his head was covered by the shade of the trees, and the breeze was blowing, only feeling infinitely cool.

She asked: "Do you come often?"

"For a while."

Ye Fei pursed his lips when thinking of something, but said nothing.

Chen Jiajun asked: "How long did it take for us to come here just now?"

"half an hour?"

"Do you know my fastest speed?"

She shook her head.

"Twelve and a half minutes."

Ye Fei was speechless: "You are crazy!"

"It's a bit." He chuckled. "Later, I fell once and fainted. No one noticed it. I lay on the side of the road for several hours before waking up."

"Too dangerous!"

"Well. After the accident, I don't dare to be so reckless."

"That's best, and don't want it in the future."

"Okay, listen to you." Chen Jiajun smiled, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

"Um... Nothing."

Was it something that didn't go well back then? In fact, this sentence rolled in my heart. Ye Fei's lips moved, but she still didn't ask. She knew that if asked, Chen Jiajun would definitely speak. There are too many details about his and Jocelyn's past that she doesn't know. If you are not curious at all, you are lying. But she really didn't want to get to the bottom, she didn't worry about those past events.

He loved others, did his best for her, and was sad and anguished after losing. However, those have passed. When he needed him the most, this man came back without sleep. He gave her support and comfort.

Now the person who moved her heart, lying quietly beside her, opening her heart, waiting for her inquiry without reservation, what doubts and dissatisfaction does she have

The two were silent, listening to the rustle of the wind blowing over the reeds.

"I always feel that if I did something wrong and be nosy." Ye Fei's voice trembled slightly, "Seeing them arguing and torturing each other, should I persuade them to make a clean break instead of trying to create a meeting for them? Chances are. If Jasmine is still with that big guy, she won’t... the next thing, won’t..." She blinked, and tears fell from the corner of her eyes into the grass.

"You are sad, but you don't need to blame yourself. We are sorry, annoyed, and don't want this to happen in our hearts, we will find various reasons to blame ourselves and others. But no matter who you blame, you can't change the fait accompli. If you don’t do that, other accidents may have happened long ago. We are all mortals with limited abilities and cannot change the fate of others."

Having said this, the two of them became quiet again.

Ye Fei still shed tears, and she has too much sadness and regret in her heart. But the tears were not cold, not pain and despair, but her deep nostalgia for her friends. Between the blue sea and blue sky, she believed that Songxi would understand this remembrance. He stopped his tears a bit and heard the man next to him breathe longer. Ye Fei turned sideways and sat up halfway. He saw Chen Jiajun's eyes closed slightly, and he did not know when he had fallen asleep.

She smiled slightly, yes, from last night until now, he hasn't rested at ease for a while, he is really too sleepy. Ye Fei sat with her knees in her arms, with her cheeks resting on her knees, looking at his calm and tranquil face. My heart was empty for a while, the whole person seemed to be flying in the air, and for a while, I felt sweet and happy overflowing.

Chen Jiajun's hair was stained with grass, and his face was sprinkled with light spots through the leaves, shaking gently with the breeze. Ye Fei stared at his eyelashes, nose bridge, and slightly opened lips, his heart beating faster and faster.

I really want to kiss him, what should I do

She knew that today is not a good time to confess. However, she couldn't help it.

Ye Fei's lips were a little dry, she squeezed her heartbeat, and she was more nervous than typing cheat sheets during the exam. She straightened her legs and wondered how she could lean in quietly and complete a quick sneak attack.

It's better not to wake up

What if I wake up...

The most serious consequence is that she is responsible for him.

She was still looking left and right, when the phone rang suddenly. Chen Jiajun didn't set up any incoming call music, it was the most basic mechanical sound. Ye Fei panicked and immediately lay down, knocking the back of her head on the grass. Although it was a layer of weeds growing on the soft soil, she hit hard and grinned with pain, and quickly turned sideways to prevent him from seeing her twisted facial features.

After a second sound, Chen Jiajun picked it up, with a little ambiguity in his voice just after waking up. The other party said something hurriedly, he listened quietly, occasionally answering twice, and then said a few words in the local language, the voice is very serious.

Ye Feizuo pretended to be awakened, rubbing his eyes and turning over, waited for him to hang up and asked, "Is there something in the store?"

"Nothing serious... Are you asleep?"

"Well, it's too comfortable to lie down."
