Chapter 34
“Where is it?!”
Ji Ruan heard a bang over there, and didn’t know what was knocked over.
“No, don’t worry.” He held the phone and quickly explained, “It’s Sister Zizhang. She’s in the operating room with appendicitis. I followed her to the hospital.” “…” “What about you? Are you injured
?
“
“No, I’m fine. I’m fine.”
There was silence on the phone for two seconds, and Gu Xiuyi seemed to sigh heavily: “Ji Ruan.”
Ji Ruan was a little panicked: “What, what?
” Finish your sentence?”
Ji Ruan touched the tip of his nose: “…Oh.”
When
he was in the ambulance, the doctor asked about the family members, and Ji Ruan asked him to use Cheng Zizhang’s mobile phone to contact Cheng Yunxiu and Lin Qing.
Teacher Cheng couldn’t get there quickly because he was out of town, but Lin Qing came first, followed by Duan Zeping.
Seeing those two people appearing at the same time, Ji Ruan couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
Didn’t Lin Qing go back to his hometown to attend the funeral? Why is he still with Duan Zeping?
Is his relationship with Duan Zeping good enough for someone to accompany him home?
Obviously not.
Duan Zeping was also a little surprised when he saw Ji Ruan, and then smiled: “Isn’t this Ji Ruan, are you here?”
Ji Ruan nodded: “I called the ambulance for my senior.”
“Really?” Duan Zeping rubbed his hands and looked towards the operating room: “How is the person?”
“Acute appendicitis, still undergoing surgery.”
Lin Qing’s face changed a little when he heard this, and he turned his head and murmured: “Why is this happening? What should I do…she is really…”
Although he was barely talking to himself, the operating room of the hospital was quite quiet, and even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard clearly, let alone his words.
And this kind of complaining tone made Ji Ruan very uncomfortable.
He sat up straight holding the armrest, and the cold metal armrest made his tired brain clear up a lot:
“What will happen if you don’t finish it?”
Lin Qing glanced at him: “It will be handed over to the organizer tomorrow, of course it will be finished if it is not finished.” It will affect the activities, and the consequences will be very serious.”
“That’s it…” Ji Ruan nodded thoughtfully, as if wondering: “But aren’t you responsible for the things together? If the senior sister is sick and can’t finish it, why are you Can’t do it?”
Lin Qing squinted at him slightly, as if wondering why he had such doubts: “Yes, she is my senior sister, if she has something to do, I can indeed help complete some of the content she is responsible for, but Ji Ruan –” His tone became tough: “I don’t like the way you speak. Are you a little too righteous? It’s my duty to help her, and it’s my duty not to help her. Why should I take it for granted as long as she’s sick? Her work? Why should I be responsible for her mistakes? Just because she is my senior sister?” These words sounded as if Ji Ruan was forcing him, because of the relationship between the senior sister and younger brother, it is not his business to kidnap him morally. A matter of duty. Ji Ruan became a little interested, and smiled suddenly: “So you know this truth?” “Otherwise ?” Lin Qing sighed: “I know you have a good relationship with Senior Sister, so you might subconsciously take her side. I understand, but you shouldn’t be too biased, right? Does that mean I can just find any excuse and leave all the work to others?” “–Aren’t you always like this?” Lin Qing paused: “What are you talking about?” The heating in the hospital was quite adequate. Both Lin Qing and Duan Zeping took off their coats and held them in their hands, but Ji Ruan felt a little cold on his body. He put his hands back into his pockets, leaned back on the back of the chair and said slowly:
“Teacher Cheng asked you to complete a piece of work together, but you often lost contact with various excuses and couldn’t find anyone. In order to finish it on time, the senior sister had to do the part you were responsible for together. Isn’t it true?” He waited for two days
. Seeing that Lin Qing was silent for a second, she went on to say: “It is also true that she suffered from acute appendicitis due to low immunity due to excessive fatigue. To some extent, it is not because of you? Then if the work cannot be completed on time because of this, you go and get it done.” The last addition, it is suitable for both emotion and reason, how come someone forced you?” Lin Qingxiang sneered when she heard something absurd: “I don’t know why you said that, I also feel bad when my senior sister is sick. , but you can’t frame me out of thin air, and you can’t slander my character, I left after I did all the parts I was responsible for.” Yo, it has all risen to character. Ji Ruan lowered his head and smiled softly. Seeing that the atmosphere was not good , Duan Zeping quickly jumped out to match him up: “Yeah, Ji Ruan, there must be some misunderstanding, Qingqing is not this kind of person.” Looking at Lin Qing: “The part you are in charge of…does it mean the collaboration between the two of you? You make one tenth of the senior sister and take care of the remaining nine tenths?” “This, how is this possible,” Duan Zeping rushed to Lin Qing spoke before, with a helpless face on his face: “How could this be possible, right Qingqing, we Qingqing will never take advantage of others, and we will never owe others favors.” ” Brother Zeping, you don’t have to speak up for me. “Interrupted Lin Qing, he stood upright, still with that incomparably noble appearance. When Duan Zeping saw it, he immediately gave Ji Ruan a wink, as if to say, “Look, we Qingqing won’t even let me help you.” Ji Ruan resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Lin Qing said neither humble nor overbearing: “I don’t know what the senior sister told you, but you can’t just listen to her one-sided words. I can assure you that I definitely did the half I was responsible for before leaving.”
“Yes, I can testify to this!” Duan Zeping remembered something and immediately said: “Qingqing worked several nights at work a few days ago, and I just took him out for a trip to relax because of his exhaustion. Your senior sister is tired of us. Qingqing is also tired,
we can’t just blame her because she is tired and sick, we Qingqing is lucky not to get sick, so we should blame everything on Qingqing? Is it?”
“Yeah, I went on a trip,” Duan Zeping said, “It’s a coincidence that the doctor called just after getting off the plane, and the airport is quite close-” “Don’t talk about Brother
Zeping …” Lin Qing’s complexion changed subtly, and he grabbed Duan Zeping’s sleeve.
But Duan Zeping patted Lin Qing’s hand as if he had grasped some subtle point: “Don’t be afraid of Qingqing, this matter has to be explained clearly, you can’t be wronged for nothing, right?” “No…I…
“
Duan Zeping looked at Ji Ruan with a smug expression on his face: “Is it because of this that made your senior sister unhappy?”
He slapped his thigh: “Oh! That’s why I insisted on taking Qingqing out to play, Don’t blame him if you want to.”
Lin Qing closed her eyes and turned her head.
Ji Ruan almost laughed.
How could Gu Xiuyi have such a stupid friend? Was his IQ just like this, or did it plummet because of falling in love?
But after thinking about it, except for the first meeting at the villa, Gu Xiuyi never showed up in Duan Zeping’s activities afterwards, and he didn’t seem to be too familiar with him. Even Li Suian and the others sighed repeatedly when they mentioned Duan Zeping. Ji Ruan could probably guess a little bit about it.
He licked his lips and looked at Lin Qing. He hadn’t drank water for so long that his throat was dry and his voice became weaker: “Didn’t you go back to your hometown to attend the funeral after your relative passed away? Why are funerals popular now?
” It was such a weak voice that still made Lin Qing’s face suddenly sink.
Duan Zeping didn’t understand: “What, what funeral? Qingqing, what is he talking about?”
Lin Qing took a deep breath and sneered: “This is what the senior sister told you, right?”
He said in a deep voice: “You don’t know what happened between us, I can understand speaking for the weaker side, but it’s not that I have always tolerated you The reason for framing me, please stop talking nonsense in front of Brother Zeping based on other people’s one-sided words. Don’t meddle in other people’s business and judge others at will.”
Ji Ruan opened his eyes involuntarily when he heard this, surprised that he still Being able to reverse right and wrong, she has a new understanding of Lin Qing’s psychological quality.
He put his elbows on the armrest and lightly pressed his temples: “But don’t you just say it now?” “
…What?”
Ji Ruan looked at Lin Qing with a half-smile and said, “Relying on the fact that senior sister is in the operating room.” I can’t line up, so why don’t you have the final say?”
“It’s boring to talk about it like this, Ji Ruan.” Duan Zeping obviously believed Lin Qing completely, and looked at Ji Ruan with some displeasure Joy.
Ji Ruan didn’t bother to glance at him: “Brother Duan, if you don’t understand anything, you should shut up.”
He leaned lazily on the chair, with pale lips and a tired expression, looking a little too weak.
Duan Zeping never thought that the kid in front of him, who was ten years younger than himself, would dare to choke him so much, so he was at a loss for words: “You, this kid is quite interesting… I just don’t want you to misunderstand Qingqing.
” Do you know?” Ji Ruan covered his lips and coughed twice: “I don’t know what grievances there are between you, but its essence has nothing to do with this matter.” He looked at Lin Qing slowly: “You have been using you and Senior sister had an unknown conflict, and to prove that senior sister gave you eye drops in front of me to make me misunderstand you, it doesn’t make sense at all, because I saw it with my own eyes.” Lin Qing didn’t change her expression: ” What do you see?”
There was no smile in Ji Ruan’s eyes: “When I saw my senior sister doing embroidery stitch by stitch, you and Brother Duan were having a party. Seeing my senior sister working hard to catch up with work, you went on a trip with Brother Duan under the pretext of going to the funeral. I saw you swear In charge of half of the work, in fact, only a few bricks in the pond were embroidered by you…” “-Am
I right? Didn’t these misunderstand you?”
Ji Ruan looked at Lin Qing’s slightly heaving chest, completely It’s clear, he made a mistake before, Lin Qing is not a good psychological quality at all, he really doesn’t think there is a problem with himself at all, and he still feels extremely wronged from his own point of view.
Duan Zeping went to hold his hand: “Qingqing, is what he said true…”
Lin Qing did not shake off for the first time, with anger mixed with grievances in her eyes: “Ji Ruan, I know you may know a little about Chinese embroidery , but you have to be clear, no matter what you say, you are just a layman, my senior sister and I have very similar acupuncture techniques, and sometimes even professionals can’t distinguish well, how can you tell?” He used a guessing
method Looking at Ji Ruan with a heart-warming expression: “Actually, the senior sister told you, right? She told you that I only embroidered a little bit of the pond? Is that so? She really… has always been like this.” Duan Zeping said with a distressed face:
” It turned out to be like this, Qingqing, you have suffered.” He turned to Ji Ruan: “Look, you really misunderstood Qingqing, I advise you not to get too close to that senior sister.”
Ji Ruan finally dug out Endured the long white eyes.
“Forget it,” Lin Qing raised her hand and wiped her face: “I don’t want to be entangled with you anymore, I have to go back and help her finish the rest.” “No need to go,”
Ji Ruan stood on the handrail When he woke up,
there were some flowers in front of his eyes because of dizziness, so he paused and said, “Senior sister came to the hospital after all the embroidery was painstaking.” Just looking at Lin Qing and smiling: “She knows you are unreliable, and she never counted on you from the beginning.”
Lin Qing’s jaw tightened for a moment, and her voice became a little stiff: “Then I have to go and check again, in case there is something wrong What’s wrong?”
“No need,” Ji Ruan said with a smile, “Teacher Cheng has already contacted the organizer to take it away.” “-You’d
better not go anywhere.” A
familiar voice came, and Duan Zeping looked past Ji Ruan Falling behind him, he was surprised for a moment:
“Old Gu? Why are you here too?”
“Of course I want to come.”
The slightly smiling voice got closer and closer.
Ji Ruan had been waiting for this voice for a long time, knowing that Gu Xiuyi had arrived, he couldn’t help but relax for a moment, and staggered back a step, being firmly supported by someone.
Gu Xiuyi put his hands on Ji Ruan’s waist, brought him into his arms, supported his weight, and lowered his head: “Why is your face so bad?” Gu Xiuyi’s body was a little cold, and the metal decorative
buttons on the sleeves of his coat froze to Ji Ruan’s Ji Ruan’s wrist felt the chill from the melting ice and snow at night in early spring, Ji Ruan trembled, but her heart calmed down instead.
His lips were so dry that they were cracked, and he could taste the smell of blood when he licked his tongue. He closed his eyes and shook his head wearily.
Gu Xiuyi helped Ji Ruan sit down on the chair, squatted in front of him, took out the small thermos cup that he carried with him, unscrewed it and handed it to Ji Ruan’s lips: “Come, take a sip.
” He took the cup in his hand and signaled that he didn’t need to feed him, he could drink by himself.
Gu Xiuyi didn’t force it, he stood up and supported Ji Ruan’s back, he could feel a thin layer of sweat on the back of his neck when he moved up a little.
Ji Ruan is not a person who likes to sweat, and it is definitely not like this in the early spring when it is warm and cold, it only shows that he is very uncomfortable now.
Gu Xiuyi frowned all of a sudden, and looked impatiently at the two people beside him: “I have to take Ji Ruan back now, and I need Mr. Lin to stay and take care of the patient.” “I take care of you?” Lin Qing raised her finger and pointed at
herself , as if I couldn’t believe it.
“Otherwise?” Gu Xiuyi’s expression was very cold: “Mr. Lin often loses contact with and abandons the works he is in charge of, and Ms. Cheng finishes her own part, but also takes care of the overall situation to help you complete the content that does not belong to her. As a result, she falls ill and enters the hospital. Operating room, is that right?”
“No, Lao Gu, you misunderstood-” Duan Zeping said.
Gu Xiuyi raised his hand to stop him, he didn’t have the patience to care about the truth in other people’s eyes, he said lightly: “The fact is like this, Mr. Lin doesn’t just take off his clothes and take care of him non-stop, at least he needs to hire a nurse to watch over him. Is it moral to kidnap Mr. Lin?”
Lin Qing sighed with a light smile, “I never thought Mr. Gu would like to meddle so much like everyone else… It’s really three people making a tiger.” “
How can it be meddling?” Gu Xiuyi took over Cover Ji Ruan’s thermos cup, put it in the bag, and gently pat him on the back: “Ji Ruan is a friend when Miss Cheng is a friend, and it is friendship to complain for a friend; a friend who can’t speak in the operating room is beaten up.” Rake, it is morality for him to come forward to explain.”
He looked at Lin Qing with cold eyes: “You are full of lies and turn black and white, and he taught you justice. If it wasn’t for his own friend, he would be willing to tell you more A word? Mr. Lin, please respect yourself.”
Gu Xiuyi’s words were far from Ji Ruan’s good temper, and he pierced Lin Qing’s heart to the point, but his slow tone seemed to have peeled off Lin Qing’s skin.
Lin Qing stood there speechless, his face turned red and then pale.
How could Duan Zeping be willing to see Lin Qing like this, and immediately jumped out: “Old Gu, it’s not good for you to argue with a child like Qingqing when you’re thirty?”
Gu Xiuyi laughed with a sneer: “You have a child in your twenties? Then You are in your thirties, why didn’t you feel bad when you bullied my child together with him?”
Duan Zeping’s throat choked up: “I… When did I bully… Sigh!”
Duan Zeping wanted to cry, but the child Gu Xiuyi was talking about , articulate and eloquent, what happened to him and Lin Qing together?
Is it a little cheaper to add up? !
Gu Xiuyi glanced at him leisurely, only to realize that Duan Zeping found a pair of glasses and wore them at some point, his temperament was completely inconsistent, he was neither human nor ghost.
He raised his eyebrows: “What kind of glasses do you wear if you’re not short-sighted?”
Duan Zeping adjusted the frame of the glasses, and whispered, “Isn’t it because you want to look more elegant?”
Needless to say, Lin Qing must like it.
Gu Xiuyi raised his hand and took off his glasses.
“Hey old Gu, what are you doing!” Duan Zeping paused for a moment, subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, but was blocked by Gu Xiuyi, the other party’s voice was cold, with an unquestionable momentum.
“My heart is covered, what’s the use of wearing even the best glasses?”
Duan Zeping was taken aback, “What do you mean…”
Gu Xiuyi didn’t answer, he breathed into the glasses, watching the mist cover the lenses and then dissipate quickly.
He stuffed the glasses back into Duan Zeping’s coat pocket: “It’s dirty, wipe it off.”
After speaking, he took Ji Ruan’s shoulders and left without looking back.
It was completely dark outside, and the night was thick, and Ji Ruan could smell the cold wind.
The treetops swayed bare, Ji Ruan coughed twice when the cold wind blew, his head became dizzy again, black mist appeared in front of his eyes, and he was a little unsteady.
He took a breath, and had to grab Gu Xiuyi’s sleeve to borrow strength, and when he endured the dizziness, his back began to sweat coldly.
Gu Xiuyi supported him steadily with one arm, and the other hand seemed to be holding something, and there was a rustling sound, and then his fingertips pressed against Ji Ruan’s lips, and his voice was entangled in the night wind: “Open your mouth
. “
Ji Ruan still couldn’t see clearly, and he said “ah” like a dentist, and a candy was stuffed into his mouth, which was so sweet.
He heard Gu Xiuyi laugh lightly, rubbed the top of his head, and then gently hugged him.
His vision gradually became clear, and Ji Ruan saw Gu Xiuyi’s sharp jawline in the dim street lights of the hospital. This angle and lighting made him look many times more handsome than usual.
Ji Ruan was still a little dizzy, his brain was running slowly as if blinded, and he was a little dazed: “…Why did you hug me all of a sudden?” With a
smile on his face, Gu Xiuyi gently turned Ji Ruan upside down, letting He put his arms around his neck:
“Didn’t you notice the hypoglycemia?”
