before and after

At around 4 o'clock in the morning, Liang Xiao heard Ye Ruixin whispering in his sleep in a daze.

In the past few years of marriage, as long as Liang Xiao was at home, they would definitely sleep in each other's arms.Ye Ruixin occasionally wakes up at midnight, and Liang Xiao is used to light sleep because he is often on duty in the middle of the night.Several times, Liang Xiao woke up as if he sensed that Ye Ruixin needed him.

They often return to the posture they had when they hugged each other before going to bed, and occasionally chat with their eyes closed, or do something that helps them fall asleep.But it was the first time I heard Ye Ruixin talking in sleep.

Liang Xiao turned around to look, only to burst into tears but kept slipping from the corners of Ye Ruixin's tightly closed eyes.

"Ruixin?"

Liang Xiao touched Ye Ruixin's body only to find that his pajamas were soaked in sweat and his whole body was icy cold.Liang Xiao wiped away Ye Ruixin's tears, and shouted twice before Ye Ruixin woke up, his eyes dazed and fragile.

"Having a nightmare?" Looking at Ye Ruixin's appearance, Liang Xiao felt a little distressed.

Liang Xiao's voice reached Ye Ruixin's ears, gradually bringing Ye Ruixin's blank eyes into focus.He moved closer to Liang Xiao and buried himself in Liang Xiao's arms.

"Is it cold?" Liang Xiao wrapped the blanket around Ye Ruixin's body to keep him warm, he was so cold.

The reality of the dream made Ye Ruixin unable to be sure of the reality at this moment.He stayed motionless in Liang Xiao's arms.He felt that Liang Xiao was caressing his back, as if he was slowly reviving his soul in this body.

"I dreamed about Joe."

After a long time, Ye Ruixin said softly.

This is the first time Liang Xiao heard Ye Ruixin mention people and things in the past.Liang Xiao knew that everything in the past was never really in the past.Some people, some things have already been integrated into Ye Ruixin's blood, and they are a part of his life.

Liang Xiao hugged Ye Ruixin to transfer the warmth of his body, waiting for him to continue talking.

"I saw Brother Qiao in the crowd. There were a lot of people, but I recognized him immediately."

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Ye Ruixin described intermittently.

"Brother Qiao seems to have been there... looking at me and smiling at me."

"He's still the same... hasn't changed at all..."

"It's been seven years, and there is no Ye Ruixin in Hong Kong."

[According to Hong Kong law, a person who has been missing for seven years can be declared dead.It has been seven years since Ye Ruixin has been missing since the crash. 】

Ye Ruixin clung to Liang Xiao's clothes, more and more forcefully, and finally gritted her teeth and cried in Liang Xiao's arms.

"Liang Xiao, I miss Brother Qiao very much. I miss them very much..."

The sky was already slightly pale, and neither of them felt sleepy anymore.Liang Xiao sat in the garden with Ye Ruixin.There is some coolness in the occasional wind, and the leaves of the sycamore trees rustle, playing the unique vitality of early summer.

At this time, Ye Ruixin realized that the phoenix tree in front of him looked a lot taller, and even the trunk was obviously thicker.Like people, it grows and ages in solitude, and bears the marks on the mind and body of the years alone.

At sunrise, the sky is incomparably graceful, changing colors every second.They looked at the sky in front of them and shared every inch of time in silence full of tacit understanding.

"Liang Xiao, in the future...I want to go back to Hong Kong."

Ye Ruixin's eyes kept looking at Wutong in front of her, her voice was soft but clear.Although he didn't say that word, Liang Xiao understood.

"Okay, I'll take you back."

This promise was so light that there was no hesitation, but Ye Ruixin knew that Liang Xiao would never break his promise.Ye Ruixin looked at the branches and leaves against the orange-red sky in front of him, and pointed forward.

"Not all of them, leave some to bury under the tree."

Liang Xiao turned to look at Ye Ruixin, took his hand and placed it where his heart was.

"You are here and we will always be together."

Ye Ruixin smiled, he knew what Liang Xiao was interested in.Looking at Liang Xiao, Ye Ruixin said:

"Doctor Liang, I thought you were a materialist."

Liang Xiao embraced the smiling Ye Ruixin into his arms, yearning for the fragrance of the ocean in Ye Ruixin's head.

"This does not prevent me from looking forward to the next life."

The daytime came completely with the real touch of Liang Xiao's embrace, and slowly dissipated the sadness brought by the dream in the morning light.

"Shall we have Thai food tonight?"

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing when he remembered the last experience, Ye Ruixin immediately said:

"Don't mention it! I will never go to that house again, let's change it!"

"I should keep your sweater and always remind you of your unreasonableness."

Seeing that the threat didn't work, Ye Ruixin prepared to take action to stop Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao was already prepared to defend himself and not let him be aggressive.

"I got angry when I dirty my clothes, so angry that I didn't even have a meal and left. In the end, I was so hungry that I screamed in the middle of the night, and finally asked me to go to the kitchen to feed you. Ye Ruixin, why are you so unreasonable."

Hearing Liang Xiao scolding herself so much, Ye Ruixin couldn't suppress her smile, and couldn't do it pretending to be angry.

"Yes! How is it?"

"I'll go buy you a bib tomorrow first."

"Crazy line!"

【Neuropathy! 】

"Baby, you are so cute!" As he said, Liang Xiao pinched Ye Ruixin's cheek.

Ye Ruixin was amused by Liang Xiao, and when she was tired from laughing, she lay lazily on the chair.

"It's been a long time since I saw Xia Yang, is he busy recently?" Ye Ruixin asked.

"He recently practiced in the orthopedics department. The orthopedics department has many temporary operations and the recovery period is slow. It is busier than ordinary departments."

"I was a child when I met him, and now we have another doctor in our family."

"Last time he told me that he still wanted to enter the Department of Neurology. Many interns chose an easy department in the end, but he didn't."

"Isn't it the same for you? When you were studying, you just wanted to be a heart surgeon."

Liang Xiao looked into Ye Ruixin's eyes and said, "Fortunately, everything came true."

"It's delicious!"

"Seek truth from facts."

"You look more and more like your brother."

Thinking of Liang Xiu's way of talking, Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Blood is thicker than water."

After breakfast, the driver first sent Liang Xiao to work in the hospital, and then sent Ye Ruixin to the orphanage.

Over the years, Ye Ruixin has reduced the proportion of investment and gradually invested more and more assets in the expansion of the orphanage.He has recently been planning an exclusive trust fund to support children who grew up in orphanages for further education and entrepreneurship.

Xia Yang's growth touched Ye Ruixin a lot, and he hoped that this place would become a well-off family.These children can be allowed to pursue the ideals they want without any scruples.In business, politics, or academic research, as long as they have goals to strive for, Ye Ruixin is willing to provide sufficient support for their ideals.

Liang Xiao only had one operation today, other than that, he had no other schedule arrangements.Ye Ruixin calculated the time and drove to the hospital gate ahead of time to wait for Liang Xiao.

Rather than sitting in the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz, Liang Xiao prefers to drive alone with Ye Ruixin.

After the meeting, Ye Ruixin discussed some new ideas about the trust fund with Liang Xiao.Ye Ruixin attaches great importance to Liang Xiao's opinion and will listen carefully to his thoughts.Over the years, they have been so open-minded. Although they don't interfere with each other's decisions, they understand all the choices the other has experienced.

"Today, the director of the course at S University asked me once, and wanted me to join their teaching team."

Liang Xiao's ten-year inpatient career ended a few years ago, and he has already changed from a medical student to a professor of cardiac surgery.After ten years of ruthless and brutal training, Liang Xiao finally won the respect of his seniors and won a very prestigious national medical award.Many famous universities offered him olive branches this year, but it was the first time Liang Xiao mentioned it to Ye Ruixin.

"Faculty team?" Ye Ruixin put the mango salad into his mouth, and the fresh taste of Southeast Asian cuisine filled his mouth instantly, "Does that mean that he will rarely have operations?"

"It will be much less than now, but the specific work arrangements need to be discussed again."

Liang Xiao added some white wine to Ye Ruixin, he has a good appetite today.

"Actually, I don't really care if you're busy or not." Ye Ruixin said.

"But we don't spend much time together."

Ye Ruixin knew that Liang Xiao had already made a decision in his heart, but Ye Ruixin also knew that Liang Xiao enjoyed the feeling of fighting side by side with his colleagues on the operating table.Ye Ruixin looked at Liang Xiao with his head supported, and said:

"Don't you want me?"

The same look in the eyes, the same tone of voice, just like the early spring afternoon when they rode bicycles to bask in the sun a few years ago.Liang Xiao looked into Ye Ruixin's eyes, the years were silent and without trace.

"Yeah, I miss you."

Liang Xiao's answer was the same as before, making Ye Ruixin smile until his eyes became crooked.

"Then can I think about where to go on vacation first?"

"can."

"Let's go to the south this winter, the winter here is really too cold."

"It's so cold!"

[Cantonese, it's so cold!Liang Xiao learned Cantonese from Ye Ruixin. 】

"Yeah!"

【yes! 】

Looking forward to the future life and talking for a long time, Ye Ruixin was a little drunk when the dinner was over.Ye Ruixin loves to laugh at this time, no matter what she says or does, she always smiles.

Not long after walking out of the restaurant, Ye Ruixin suddenly got excited and climbed up the concrete fence of the flower bed.The fence is very narrow, only one foot wide.He had to open his arms to keep his balance.

Liang Xiao walked tremblingly with Ye Ruixin on the sidewalk, ready to reach out to protect him at any time.

"Liang Xiao, at that time you really thought I was going to jump into the river?"

"I'm afraid you'll stumble."

"If I fall, will you save me?"

"meeting."

"and then?"

"I do not know."

"Why are you still so boring and have no imagination."

"Then think about it, what will happen next."

"The lake is as cold as moonlight. You fell in love with me, and we kissed in the wet water."

Ye Ruixin's drunkenness made the already provocative assumption full of lust, and Liang Xiao followed his words to imagine the scene of that day.Memories and imaginations intertwine and overlap, Liang Xiao seems to be able to see Ye Ruixin's smiling eyes under the moonlight.

"I'll carry you." Liang Xiao suddenly turned his back to Ye Ruixin.

The height difference and Ye Ruixin's thinness make this process very easy.Ignoring the gazes of passers-by, Liang Xiao walked on the road with Ye Ruixin on his back.

Leaning on Liang Xiao's shoulder, Ye Ruixin suddenly reminded him of the feeling of being on daddy's shoulder when he was a child.It's been so far away, Ye Ruixin thought she would forget about it.

"Have you ever recited others?" After a while, Ye Ruixin asked suddenly.

"No."

Liang Xiao could feel that he was obediently lying on his back, relaxed and enjoying himself.

"Why are you carrying me all of a sudden?"

"I want to do something I've never done before."

Ye Ruixin smiled, leaned into Liang Xiao's ear and whispered:

"Things that haven't been done... there are many."

"Well, it seems to be."

"so what?"

"Go home first."

"I haven't tried it outside."

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing, blushing a little.Ye Ruixin used to like teasing the serious Liang Xiao, what could be more fun than making a serious person shy.It's just that Liang Xiao has turned bad in the past few years, and even learned to play tricks.Ye Ruixin has very little chance to succeed.

"Doctor Liang, why didn't you answer me?"

"Go home first."

Ye Ruixin leaned on Liang Xiao's shoulder, closed her eyes and said, "I will ignore you when I go home."

Liang Xiao didn't put Ye Ruixin down until he reached the parking lot.I don't know if it's because the feeling of being carried is similar to a rocking chair, Ye Ruixin fell asleep not long after getting in the car, and she still hasn't woken up when she got home.

Liang Xiao unfastened his seat belt after parking the car, and leaned over to kiss Ye Ruixin's lips.Ye Ruixin didn't sleep deeply, but was slightly drunk and became lazy, so Ye Ruixin closed her eyes and hugged Liang Xiao and continued to kiss him.

"I'm home." Liang Xiao said while kissing.

"Ah."

Ye Ruixin felt that Liang Xiao put down his seat and adjusted his height.By the time he realized what Liang Xiao was going to do, Liang Xiao had already pinned him down.

"Hello, Liang Xiao."

"There are many things I haven't tried before, and you said it." Ye Ruixin's clothes had been lifted up, and Liang Xiao's fingertips and kisses fell on him. "And, it's already home."

Lust is unavoidable in this small space, Ye Ruixin doesn't know if Ms. White opposite is asleep, and if she can see the scene clearly from the window on the second floor.

"and many more."

In the brief gap, Ye Ruixin got up and sat on Liang Xiao.After turning off the lights, Ye Ruixin stretched out his hand to caress somewhere on Liang Xiao.

"Doctor Liang, your physical characteristics are very obvious."

"Youtoo."

Ye Ruixin smiled and bent down, biting Liang Xiao's jaw to his earlobe.

"Sex with me..."
