Warm Water Spirits

"what happened?"

There was no answer from the other end of the phone, Pei Zhe smiled, "Yun Qi?"

Jiang Yunqi came back to his senses and stood up abruptly, "Brother Pei, I'll pick you up!"

"it is good."

It was purely a boring look around to pass the time, and as soon as the third cigarette was lighted casually, the god who was halfway away was choked by Jiang Yunqi's sudden movement from the corner of his eye.

Fang Mingbai lowered his head and coughed a few times, then raised his head, and saw Jiang Yunqi looking towards him upon hearing the sound.

The sun was scorching hot, and there was no wind under the shade of the trees.

Jiang Yunqi stood sideways, with a thin body, holding a mobile phone, with slightly bent elbows.Under the scorching sun, her complexion looks fairer, except for a little red around her ears.The sun is bright and scorching hot, but a pair of blue eyes are clear and quiet, like the sparkling waves on the sea surface, with an innate sense of distance and a little mystery that is not easy to detect.

Fang Mingbai twirled the body of the slightly hot cigarette with his index finger, his gaze dropped slightly for a moment.

Jiang Yunqi remembered the introduction of Qi Jian, nodded politely to Fang Mingbai, turned and left.

Fang Mingbai didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a first meeting, a momentary pleasing to the eye.

Hurrying back to the base, Jiang Yunqi first went to take a leave of absence for the evening training camp with Li Kun, hurriedly finished lunch, and formed a four-row training with Boyu Song Shao Eric in the afternoon, and then resumed the game together, and it was already after five o'clock.

Pei Zhe's flight is at 06:30.

Jiang Yunqi didn't have time to go back to the dormitory to change clothes, and ran to the gate of the community with his schoolbag on his back, just in time to bump into Bo Yu who was going to pick up the courier after the review.

"Wait a minute!" Boyu grabbed him and said, "Photo."

Jiang Yunqi didn't even look at it, thanked him, took a small envelope with his name on it, turned around and left.

"—Hey, where are you going?! Don't lose it! You need to get the competition certificate! Yunshen!"

Jiang Yunqi waved his hand and ran away for a few seconds.

Inside the envelope are several two-inch ID photos.

In the white background of the photo, Jiang Yunqi, wearing a red team uniform, looks clean and handsome looking at the camera.

Jiang Yunqi stuffed the photos into his schoolbag and ran all the way after getting out of the car, his schoolbag rattling.

After being away from home for more than half a month, what I miss most is Pei Zhe.Aunt Song knew about it, and she probably wanted to beat herself.

The closer he got to Pei Zhe, the wider the corners of his mouth opened.

So much so that when Pei Zhe saw Jiang Yunqi, Jiang Yunqi was still looking in with his neck upright, eagerly looking in, and he said, "Brother Pei!"

Pei Zhe was funny, walked over and touched Jiang Yunqi's head, "Where are your eyes looking?"

Jiang Yunqi looked back at Pei Zhe's luggage, it was just a simple suitcase for frequent business use: "Brother Pei, how long are you staying?"

Pei Zhe glanced at his wristwatch: "The plane diverts to Madrid at ten o'clock in the evening, and we just happen to have dinner nearby."

Jiang Yunqi nodded, reluctant and helpless, after a while he said seriously: "Then I will send you off."

Pei Zhe said, "Okay."

There is plenty of time for meals at hotels near the airport.

Pei Zhe asked Jiang Yunqi if he was suitable for city S, how he was getting along with his teammates, and the situation in the dormitory.

Jiang Yunqi said yes.

After Pei Zhe asked about the incident at the affiliated hospital, Jiang Yunqi said everything, and in turn comforted Pei Zhe: "Mr. Qi said that I am very happy now, and I found it in time. I will adjust it slowly in the future."

The word "happiness" was suddenly uttered by Jiang Yunqi, and Pei Zhe was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Yunqi was still talking, tinkering with a plate of pasta in front of him with a fork, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth: "...I think it's pretty good now. Although Doctor Qi said I can't feel it, but I really feel that I am slowly ...How should I put it, just like a normal person, doing what you like. Training, meetings, replays, guiding youth trainees—they are so fun, they ask everything.” Jiang Yunqi raised his head, his eyes lighted Yiyi, "Brother Pei, do you know? I'm the most patient in our first team! I don't even know it! I'm so patient! Even our team leader was annoyed by those youth trainees, I didn't, I think they are very interesting. There are five years younger than me, and they come to be youth trainees at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Some of them are quite talented..."

Pei Zhe looked at Jiang Yunqi with a soft heart.

Jiang Yunqi is gradually exploring a completely new environment.

"Is Aunt Song okay at home? Is sister Pei Yue about to give birth?" Jiang Yunqi asked with a smile.

Pei Zhe replied one by one: "Aunt Song said that you are heartless and don't call home. Is it because eating out is too good?"

Jiang Yunqi was in a hurry: "I didn't, I played last week. Aunt Song's cooking is not as delicious anywhere!"

Pei Zhe smiled: "I lied to you."

Jiang Yunqi pursed his lips, there was nothing he could do about Pei Zhe, "Where's sister Pei Yue?"

"There are still two weeks left, and the due date is August [-]th."

Jiang Yunqi's eyes lit up: "Then I will celebrate your birthday with Brother Pei!"

Pei Zhe: "Yes."

Jiang Yunqi thought for a while, then half drooped his ears: "Envy."

Pei Zhe: "..." Changed his words: "Actually, it's not necessarily true. It's about the expected date of delivery."

Jiang Yunqi smiled.

A very happy meal.

It doesn't seem to matter whether you like it or not, only the person in front of you is the most important.

Jiang Yunqi had an illusion at a certain moment, such an ordinary meal and conversation brought him back to every moment he spent with Pei Zhe in the past, it was warm and joyful, feeling like a family member.

After eating, Pei Zhe got up to pay the bill.

Jiang Yunqi held his schoolbag and propped his chin, staring blankly at the empty seat opposite, as time passed, it seemed that something began to become urgent.

Jiang Yunqi took out the envelope containing the photo from his schoolbag.

The small two-inch ID photo was spread out in the palm of his hand, which was exactly the same as himself.

Jiang Yunqi took Pei Zhe's coat, and slipped a photo of his ID into his jacket pocket.

"Let's go." As soon as he secretly stuffed it, Pei Zhe walked over.

Jiang Yunqi didn't change his face, he hugged Pei Zhe's coat and got up with his schoolbag, "Oh".

Pei Zhe glanced at him, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yunqi looked up: "I don't want you to go."

Pei Zhe bent his lips and smiled.

On the plane, Pei Zhe accidentally found the photo in his coat pocket.

The red is dazzling, the white is pure, and it is the treasure he has always held in the palm of his hand.

Pei Zhe put the photo in his wallet.

At the end of July, Jiang Yunqi received the admission letter from Foreign University.

Lin Xiyao also got admitted to D University in S City as she wished. She started school two weeks earlier than Jiang Yunqi, and she will come to S City from Jiangzhou to participate in military training in mid-August.

Jiang Yunqi didn't know until he received the notice that the military training at the University of Foreign Affairs was postponed during the summer vacation between freshmen and sophomores, and classes would resume normally after the start of school on September [-].

The day before Pei Zhe's birthday, Pei Yue gave birth to a son, Wen Cuo named Wen Yi.

Wenwen was so happy that she called to share with Jiang Yunqi, "Little Uncle" and "Little Uncle" had a headache.

"From now on, I won't be the youngest in this family! I'm the older sister! Wen Yi has to listen to me! Just like the eldest uncle has to listen to my mother!"

Wen Cuo interjected, very rationally: "Since when did you meet uncle and listen to your mother? I haven't seen your father once since I grew up."

a bolt from the blue.

Wenwen didn't recover for a long time.

Jiang Yunqi couldn't help laughing.

The next day was Pei Zhe's birthday.

It's just that Pei Zhe is still abroad, and he can't happen to be in China like last year. Naturally, there are only WeChat blessings left for this year's birthday.

Jiang Yunqi calculated the time difference, it was [-]:[-] in China, and it was [-]:[-] pm in Pei Zhe's place.

Jiang Yunqi didn't tell anyone, and bought cake candles in advance, planning to surprise Pei Zhe.

After returning to the room at around [-] o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yunqi happily sent a WeChat notice to Pei Zhe: "Brother Pei, it's time to celebrate your birthday!" with a kitty emoji blowing a cake.

Pei Zhe did not reply immediately.

There is still some time.Jiang Yunqi went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and it was 45:[-] when he came out.

Jiang Yunqi didn't dare to send more messages to Pei Zhe, worried that the meeting was busy.

During the few minutes of waiting, Jiang Yunqi shook the wet hair on his forehead with a towel on his head, tapped the phone screen, and swiped up and down the chat records several times.

At 55:[-], a little cat poking around sent over.

At 58:58, Jiang Yunqi was a little anxious, jumped out of WeChat and checked the time difference again, it was [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

Jiang Yunqi slowly lit a candle.

At 59 minutes, there was still no movement over there.

Zero is coming soon.

Jiang Yunqi was sitting on the bed, the candlelight was flickering, the fruit cake was quiet, and there was no excitement about celebrating a birthday at all.

Jiang Yunqi did not blow out the candles.

The candle melted little by little.

"Brother Pei, you have to make a wish on your birthday." Jiang Yunqi whispered, "How about I help you make a wish?"

Jiang Yunqi closed his eyes: "Don't waste it, it's only once a year."

Jiang Yunqi made three wishes.

Safe and healthy, smooth work, happy family.

Selfishly wanted to make a wish related to himself, but Jiang Yunqi remembered that this was made for Pei Zhe, and Pei Zhe would not pull himself out of his family's classification and make a wish alone.

So Jiang Yunqi didn't agree.

Jiang Yunqi thought, it doesn't matter, my birthday is still a few months away, so I can make as many as I want.
