The time machine tells me [rebirth]
Chapter 99 The Time Machine Didn't Tell Jiang Muzhi
Jiang Muzhi quietly opened his eyes, and took off the oxygen mask on his mouth casually. He only felt a pain in his head, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer, and his leg also hurt, as if it was broken.
She stared blankly at the whitewashed ceiling, she felt as if she had forgotten something, and her heart was empty... She seemed to have had a dream, but the specific content of the dream was not clear, in the dream, A Mian was still alive, and A Mian Chen is also very happy, and she and Rong Feijin, Rong Feijin said he loves her.
But that was just a dream.
She understood this with great sobriety.
"Dididi..." The only sound in the room made her unable to ignore it. She turned her head and saw that it was the sound from the electrocardiogram.
So, she is in the hospital?what happened?
Jiang Muzhi closed her eyes, and thought about it carefully, it seems... Jianghai City had an earthquake, she went to volunteer, and when she was saving Rong Feijin, she was buried under the rubble by the aftershocks.
At that time, she thought she was going to die, but she didn't expect that even God would not accept her, Jiang Muzhi smiled wryly.
"Bang." Something fell to the ground.
Jiang Muzhi followed the source of the voice and found that Bai Yiran was standing at the door with tears streaming down his face. He stared at her blankly and subconsciously said her name: "Amu..."
On the ground was a pile of debris.
Bai Yiran came back to his senses, and wiped away his tears indiscriminately: "Amu, wait for me for a while, I'll go clean up."
She went to the bathroom to take out the broom, swept away the debris, and then walked to her hospital bed. She seemed a little confused: "Yes, I have to call Liu Chenlin Jinyan and the others!"
"Hey, Yi Ran..." Jiang Muzhi shouted.
Bai Yiran turned his head and waited for her to ask questions.
Jiang Muzhi pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where is Rong Feijin, how is she?"
Lostness flashed across Dr. Bai's eyes, and he couldn't help but spurn himself in his heart: "In the next ward, do you want to see her?"
Jiang Muzhi shook his head: "No need, just know she's fine."
She lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes cast heavy shadows on her face, and smiled miserably: "It's impossible for us after all, it's good to see you again."
Bai Yiran didn't know how to comfort her, so he opened his mouth, but in the end he just pursed his lips: "Then I'm going to make a phone call."
"Go."
About half an hour later, Liu Chen and Lin Jinyan came to the ward out of breath.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lin Jinyan's face. She wanted Jiang Muzhi to wake up in her dreams, but she really did meet, but she didn't know what to say.
"Come?" Jiang Muzhi said calmly.
"Here we come." Lin Jinyan nodded.
"You... don't blame me anymore?"
"I've stopped complaining for a long time." Lin Jinyan said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I was wrong at the beginning, my words were too fierce, and, since A Mian... is gone, you are the most sad and guilty person, I call myself your friend, but I still rub salt in your wounds."
Obviously this is what Jiang Muzhi always wanted, but at this moment, she felt like crying. She suddenly felt that maybe living a good life is not as bad as she imagined.
"How long have I been asleep?" Jiang Muzhi asked abruptly.
"Ten days." Liu Chen replied.
Jiang Muzhi nodded.
The three of Liu Chen each have their own jobs. It is impossible for the three of them to spend the past ten days waiting for Jiang Muzhi to wake up, so they take care of Jiang Muzhi in three-day shifts. Today, it happened to be Bai Yiran's turn. .
The door was suddenly pushed open heavily.
Rong Feijin limped into the door, staggered, and fell to the ground. Ji Ningchen behind him rushed to help her up.
"Amu." Rong Feijin looked up at the familiar face with indifference, the indifferent eyes, the straight nose, and the thin lips...all appeared in her dreams countless times.
But now, in front of her eyes.
"Be careful." Jiang Muzhi's face remained unchanged, his eyes were like a lake in a quiet night, unable to make any waves.
"I..." Rong Feijin's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say, what to say?Said that all that was not her intention?To say that she was just forced to die by her mother?
"I love you."
Jiang Muzhi's eyes were suddenly filled with shock, his heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and strong emotions surged in his chest.
Just the next second, subconsciously raised his hand to touch the small pot that was still hanging around his neck, and suddenly remembered Tang Mian lying in a pool of blood, and gradually regained his composure.
"It doesn't matter anymore," she said.
Rong Feijin's pupils shook for a moment, and their sockets were instantly wet, as if he could cry in the next second.
Her eyelids flickered unnaturally, she nodded, then turned around, dragged her precarious body, and staggered out of the ward.
Like crumpled paper that cannot be healed, lost time cannot be regained, and her lover is no longer hers.
Jiang Muzhi kept looking at her, the body under the large hospital gown seemed extraordinarily thin, her heart throbbed habitually, the pain made her gradually numb, until her back disappeared around the corner, and the door closed.
Jiang Muzhi kept looking at the direction she came from, wondering what he was thinking.
After a long time, he sighed.
After all, she still has to walk alone in this world to complete the agreement with Tang Mian.
Live and forget about her.
Like she said, it doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter whether that person loves her or not, and it doesn't matter why that person left her... Her future has nothing to do with her after all.
……
The days in the hospital were very peaceful, even a little boring. Fortunately, Jiang Muzhi will soon be able to sit in a wheelchair and look around.
While walking, she could feel a gaze looking at her figure affectionately and sadly.
She knew who it was, but never looked back once.
Seeing that she was recovering well, Lin Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief, went to see Tang Mian again, and then booked a ticket back to the northwest, and they were separated again.
However, unlike last time, Jiang Muzhi finally didn't have to hide in a corner, and could send her away openly.
A few days later, the three of Jiang Muzhi also returned to Andong City.
Before leaving, Jiang Muzhi persuaded Liu Chen: "I heard that Ji Ningchen is divorced, and you are single now, or stay in Jianghai City and try with her again?"
Liu Chen waved his hand, and said in a bitter tone, "It's not that I want to be with him, and he's willing to be with me. With my current state, she probably doesn't like me."
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Liu Chen just shook his head: "I still don't want to be boring and annoying."
Seeing that it didn't make sense, Jiang Muzhi didn't try to persuade her anymore.
After going through this experience, Jiang Muzhi's life doesn't seem to have changed much, he still lives alone, but Bai Yiran comes over every day after work, every time he complains that her legs and feet are inconvenient, and he has to cook for her , if it is late, I will stay at her house.
However, Bai Yiran's eyes became more and more revealing, and his behavior no longer concealed, and he almost wrote "I want to chase you" on his face.
Jiang Muzhi was not stupid, so he naturally saw what she meant.
But even so, Jiang Muzhi couldn't drive her away. After all, if someone came to cook for you with good intentions, you can't take revenge. If something happened to Bai Yiran at night, it would be too late for her to regret it.
Slowly, Bai Yiran entered the room just like that, even brought all his luggage, and formally occupied the guest room of Jiang Mu's house.
The two of them tacitly didn't talk about it, and just lived like that.
Even Liu Chen felt that they were together, and occasionally came to the house for a drink to tease her, but she didn't refute, just chuckled.
It was Bai Yiran who broke it first.
Bai Yiran had just received an order that day, and she herself was not as good at drinking as Jiang Muzhi, so she was naturally drunk.
Jiang Muzhi went to pick her up at the entrance of the hotel after working overtime, and was instantly swept up by her.
The house was very dark, and Jiang Muzhi struggled to drag the person who was completely dependent on her into the bedroom, took off her shoes, and covered her with a quilt, but without changing her clothes, Jiang Muzhi still couldn't take this step.
Before leaving, he was grabbed by the wrist by the drunk on the bed.
"Jiang Muzhi, do you know that I like you for a long time."
Jiang Muzhi suddenly had the idea of teasing her, and asked with a smile:
"I don't know, tell me, when did you like me?"
Bai Yiran was completely different from usual. He raised his eyelids and looked at her with a smirk: "Just, the first time I saw you."
Jiang Mu was startled, so early?She felt sorry for him a little bit, but couldn't help but think of Rong Feijin, and then it hurt her heart.
She couldn't help thinking, if she had fallen in love with Bai Yiran back then, what would it be like now?
In short, it will not be the case now.
But if there is no if, the person she loves is Rong Feijin after all, everything was doomed on that rainy day.
She barely calmed down her turbulent mood, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then why did you resign?"
Bai Yiran told her before that it was because she didn't want to live in the shadow of her parents anymore, and when she saw her coming to Andong City, she wanted to come here to make a living, but if Bai Yiran liked her from the very beginning, maybe, things would be different. It will be that simple.
"Of course it's because I like you! I want to keep you."
really.
Jiang Muzhi's eyes twitched, his throat twitched, and he looked at the person on the bed fixedly...So, in this world...is there really such a stupid person?
Not asking for anything in return, just waiting foolishly.
Jiang Muzhi thought, maybe if it wasn't for this earthquake, Bai Yiran would really keep this secret and guard her for the rest of her life...
Regardless of whether there will be other people around her later.
After a long time, a long sigh echoed in the air.
"Is it worth it?"
After a while, there was no answer, and the girl holding her wrist fell into a deep sleep, but still refused to let go of her hand.
Jiang Muzhi just sat on the ground next to her bed, looking at the quiet starry sky, and sat all night.
The next day, Bai Yiran brushed his teeth and washed his teeth as if nothing had happened, but looked at Jiang Muzhi a little dodgyly.
When he went home for dinner at night, Bai Yiran couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed Jiang Muzhi's wrist when he was cleaning up the dishes.
Jiang Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "Isn't it enough to arrest you all night last night?"
As if he had never heard of it, Bai Yiran slammed into those dark eyes and asked, "What are we?"
Jiang Muzhi thought for a moment under her expectant gaze: "Friend? Best friend?"
Seeing that her face gradually became ugly, there was a turning point: "That's definitely not it."
Bai Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Muzhi's stunning face, he was so nervous that he couldn't help swallowing, his body began to tremble, and he said with a trembling voice: "Actually, I remember everything about last night. "
Bai Yiran took a deep breath, summoned up his courage, and broke the calm: "Actually, I want to ask... what do you think?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and a needle could be heard falling.
Jiang Muzhi rubbed his temples, looked out the window, and looked at the person in front of him.
She organized the language: "I..."
She licked her lips: "You know, I can't forget Rong Feijin, my heart is with her, no matter where we are in this world, we meet or part, even if we know that everything will never return to the original appearance, I will never forget her." Still love her."
Jiang Muzhi's heart was full of tears, she lowered her head, stopped looking at Bai Yiran, and forced a not-so-good-looking smile.
"Yi Ran, I don't want to tie you up, I think you deserve better, otherwise you..."
Her voice was almost choked, and she said the last sentence: "Forget about me."
Deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of slippers knocking on the floor sounded all the way to the door.
Jiang Muzhi's heart gradually became panic and reluctance, but she still didn't dare to look up, the last warmth of her life was about to leave her.
She wanted to ask her to keep her, but she knew she couldn't, she couldn't be so selfish, it was just that she didn't know Bai Yiran's thoughts before, how could she become a stumbling block for him to find happiness now?
The expected sound of opening the door did not appear.
Turn around.
The voice spread from the door back to her.
"Sorry, I still can't do it." Bai Yiran smiled bitterly: "I might not even be able to leave in front of you... You must not have imagined that Bai Yiran, who is proud and calm in your heart, is so humble, always Hiding in the shadows, watching your back secretly."
"She also wants to stand in front of you openly and greedily paint your face, your lips, every inch of your skin, but her identity is destined to not allow her."
"She is Rong Feijin's friend."
"But she is still so stubborn, so stubborn, knowing that this is wrong, but still wants to stay by your side."
Bai Yiran paused for a moment, Jiang Muzhi guessed that her eyes must be red at the moment, and she was staring at him affectionately, but she didn't dare to look, she was afraid.
"I know you may still be unable to forget Rong Feijin, even if your heart is with her, so what? I am also willing to accompany you and support you for the rest of your life."
"Yi Ran, you don't have to..."
"Let me continue." Bai Yiran was firm.
"Jiang Muzhi, I don't need your love. I just want to be with you and stay by your side. You treat me as a family member, as a friend, even as a partner... If you refuse I, maybe I will die alone like this, Jiang Muzhi, can you bear it?"
Bai Yiran is blackmailing Jiang Muzhi, because she has no other way, Rong Feijin and Jiang Muzhi are already impossible, now Jiang Muzhi has completely locked himself in the inner world that outsiders can't reach, only she and Liu Only Chen can set foot there.
She didn't want to see her sweetheart panic all the time, obviously she was such a good person, but she regretted her whole life because of a relationship that didn't end well.
Maybe her existence can't make Jiang Muzhi forget all this, but she thinks it's good to have someone who can talk by her side.
Jiang Muzhi lowered his head, his voice stained with blood: "This is too unfair to you."
"There's nothing unfair about it, it's my own choice."
Jiang Muzhi was finally moved by her words, nodded slowly, but said something very seriously:
"If you are tempted by another person, don't worry about me, you must rest assured and boldly chase after him."
Doctor Bai responded, "Okay."
But she knew that from this moment on, there would only be Jiang Mu in her heart.
……
As expected by Jiang Muzhi, Ji Ningchen was still interested in Liu Chen, applied for a job, chased him to Andong City, and deliberately bought a house downstairs from Liu Chen.
This is Jiang Muzhi's guess.
How can there be so many coincidences in the world, the so-called coincidences are nothing more than deliberate intentions, only Liu Chen is still foolishly believing it.
I don't know what's going on, Liu Chen's brain seems to have been implanted with a program, and he firmly believes that Ji Ningchen can't like her, and actually treats her like an old friend who hasn't reunited for a long time.
Be courteous and restrained, and never step over the thunder pool.
Jiang Muzhi simply hated that iron could not be made into steel. This was not the time for someone to get married and say "I don't bless her" with jealous teeth.
How come the real person is cowardly when he sees it?
But in the end, Ji Ningchen got his hands. I don't know if it was because the drunk overlord forced himself to bow or what. The two people who had been entangled for so many years and separated for many years were reunited.
Jiang Muzhi asked her what she thought, and she actually said, "If it doesn't work, let's split it up? It's not like I haven't split up before." Actually, she still has a bit of the carefree spirit she had when she was young.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Muzhi felt relieved, it showed that Liu Chen was living a good life, and even the melancholy that had weighed heavily on his heart was relieved a little because of the smooth life.
It's just that I can't help but think in my heart, Ji Ningchen is here, what about Rong Feijin?How is Rong Feijin?
She didn't ask, so the answer was naturally unknown.
Before you know it, another year has passed.
What is different from usual is that there are more people in the family.
Standing on the open-air balcony, Jiang Muzhi watched the city's night sky burst into clusters of fireworks, and the firelight reflected the huge city and Jiang Muzhi's face.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
It's a completely unfamiliar number.
Jiang Muzhi watched with ecstasy, and had a premonition that she didn't enter the room, but just lay on the railing and pressed the answer button.
For a long time, there was no response.
On such a noisy night, she seemed to be able to hear the other party's faint breathing clearly.
They were deadlocked like this, and no one would say the first sentence.
at this time.
"Amu?"
Bai Yiran pushed open the balcony door, handed her a long down jacket, and complained to her: "It's such a cold day, I wear so little, I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
Jiang Muzhi blinked his eyes unnaturally, and forced the corners of his lips to curl up: "I'm not so fragile."
Doctor Bai shot her an angry look: "I don't know who just had a cold a few days ago and asked me to take care of them."
Suddenly caught a glimpse of the mobile phone in her hand: "I'm on the phone, then I won't bother you."
"Okay." Bai Yiran calmly left this small space that seemed to belong to Jiang Rong and only two people, but he didn't know how much his voice shocked the person opposite.
Jiang Muzhi heard that the breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became heavy and rapid, and after a few seconds, everything returned to calm.
The man suppressed himself from crying, but his voice was still trembling: "Happy New Year."
"Thank you."
There was a moment of hesitation: "And...yesterday, happy birthday."
"Thank you."
She said so again.
That's all she seemed to be able to say.
Jiang Muzhi didn't know whether to be emotional or sarcastic, time was so cruel that the two people who had been inseparable until death had come to this point, and they couldn't even exchange pleasantries.
There was silence for a while, and the voice was a bit astringent.
"Is that person reliable?"
She got it.
Jiang Muzhi's throat was densely rolling with soreness, he opened his mouth, and then closed it slowly.
She nodded weakly, as if she had exhausted all the strength in her body: "Very... quite reliable."
Rong Feijin smiled lightly, or rather wryly, she just didn't want Jiang Muzhi to worry: "Really? I'm afraid she will treat you badly."
"It will be good to me." Jiang Muzhi seemed unable to continue, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time filled her cheeks in an instant, and she tasted bitterness.
It was silent again, for a long time, she laughed louder, and repeatedly confirmed: "Really? You have always had bad eyesight, otherwise you wouldn't be able to look at me, I, I'm a little worried..."
But her voice kept shaking, trembling so much that Jiang Muzhi even heard the sound of her upper teeth hitting her lower teeth.
Jiang Muzhi covered his mouth in despair, knelt down slowly, and cried silently.
"Ajin...you, Ajin, don't be like this, really, don't be like this."
"I know, I don't want to do this either... I'm just afraid that you will meet someone like me again... She, her, do I know her?"
Jiang Muzhi choked with sobs, and said "Yes", "It's Yi Ran."
"Yi Ran..." The other side seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, and repeated a sentence in relief and despair: "That's good, it's good..."
Jiang Muzhi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Rong Feijin seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, I cleared up my emotions, and then said softly: "I have always hoped that you will be happy, that you can start again, while hoping but also afraid that you will fall in love with someone else... But when you really figure it out, I was worried that that person would hurt you, but I forgot that the person who hurt you the most was me."
"It's me, right?"
She was not asking Jiang Muzhi, but herself.
"You are so smart, you must have already guessed some of the reasons why I left you, from the moment I said I love you...But no matter whether there is a reason or not, I have ruined your life after all."
"Next life, next life..." Like a madman, Rong Feijin kept repeating, but suddenly stopped and forcibly changed the subject.
"Jiang Muzhi, do you still love me?" the man asked.
Jiang Muzhi's throat moved: "Love."
"But we can't be together, can we?"
"Yes."
"Jiang Muzhi, do you still remember that you once said "you want what I want"?"
"remember."
"Hasn't it changed now?"
"No."
"Okay." Rong Feijin said: "I used to want us to be together forever... Now, now I want you to be happy, and go on well with Bai Yiran."
After speaking, the phone was cut off in an instant, and before hanging up, Jiang Muzhi heard a desperate and suppressed cry that he could no longer bear.
Jiang Muzhi looked at the night sky and remained silent for a long time.
The words "walk down with Yi Ran" kept flashing in her mind, and she couldn't help leaning on the railing and looking sideways.
The thin figure was sitting on the sofa, with a full fruit plate in front of him, staring at the TV as if completing an important ceremony intently.
Jiang Muzhi widened his glasses, looked up at the sky and blinked again, tears disappeared from the corners of his eyes.
Finally he sighed in relief.
She and Rong Feijin were completely over, and the phone call was cut off, and it would be eternity.
In fact, it would be a very happy and fortunate thing to be able to stay with Bai Yiran for a lifetime like this.
Maybe she still can't forget Rong Feijin, maybe she will still be haunted by nightmares, but two people are better than one.Maybe one day, she will suddenly realize that she has fallen in love with Bai Yiran.
Who can say what will happen tomorrow?
Let the past let her go, people always have to move forward.
But no matter what, Jiang Muzhi still looks forward to the day when they get old and retire, and everyone will gather together.
At that time, she must tell Rong Feijin.
I did it.
Also tell her that she didn't ask the answer to the question just now... She may not see her again in her next life, because she is afraid that seeing her will make her love her uncontrollably.
Jiang Muzhi wanted to promise the next life to the person in front of him.
Goodbye, Rong Feijin.
Hello, Doctor Bai.
She stared blankly at the whitewashed ceiling, she felt as if she had forgotten something, and her heart was empty... She seemed to have had a dream, but the specific content of the dream was not clear, in the dream, A Mian was still alive, and A Mian Chen is also very happy, and she and Rong Feijin, Rong Feijin said he loves her.
But that was just a dream.
She understood this with great sobriety.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lin Jinyan's face. She wanted Jiang Muzhi to wake up in her dreams, but she really did meet, but she didn't know what to say.
"Come?" Jiang Muzhi said calmly.
"Here we come." Lin Jinyan nodded.
"You... don't blame me anymore?"
"I've stopped complaining for a long time." Lin Jinyan said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I was wrong at the beginning, my words were too fierce, and, since A Mian... is gone, you are the most sad and guilty person, I call myself your friend, but I still rub salt in your wounds."

Jiang Muzhi suddenly had the idea of teasing her, and asked with a smile:
"I don't know, tell me, when did you like me?"
Bai Yiran was completely different from usual. He raised his eyelids and looked at her with a smirk: "Just, the first time I saw you."
Jiang Mu was startled, so early?She felt sorry for him a little bit, but couldn't help but think of Rong Feijin, and then it hurt her heart.
She couldn't help thinking, if she had fallen in love with Bai Yiran back then, what would it be like now?
In short, it will not be the case now.
But if there is no if, the person she loves is Rong Feijin after all, everything was doomed on that rainy day.
She barely calmed down her turbulent mood, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then why did you resign?"
Bai Yiran told her before that it was because she didn't want to live in the shadow of her parents anymore, and when she saw her coming to Andong City, she wanted to come here to make a living, but if Bai Yiran liked her from the very beginning, maybe, things would be different. It will be that simple.
"Of course it's because I like you! I want to keep you."
really.
Jiang Muzhi's eyes twitched, his throat twitched, and he looked at the person on the bed fixedly...So, in this world...is there really such a stupid person?
Not asking for anything in return, just waiting foolishly.
Jiang Muzhi thought, maybe if it wasn't for this earthquake, Bai Yiran would really keep this secret and guard her for the rest of her life...
Regardless of whether there will be other people around her later.
After a long time, a long sigh echoed in the air.
"Is it worth it?"
After a while, there was no answer, and the girl holding her wrist fell into a deep sleep, but still refused to let go of her hand.
Jiang Muzhi just sat on the ground next to her bed, looking at the quiet starry sky, and sat all night.
The next day, Bai Yiran brushed his teeth and washed his teeth as if nothing had happened, but looked at Jiang Muzhi a little dodgyly.
When he went home for dinner at night, Bai Yiran couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed Jiang Muzhi's wrist when he was cleaning up the dishes.
Jiang Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "Isn't it enough to arrest you all night last night?"
As if he had never heard of it, Bai Yiran slammed into those dark eyes and asked, "What are we?"
Jiang Muzhi thought for a moment under her expectant gaze: "Friend? Best friend?"
Seeing that her face gradually became ugly, there was a turning point: "That's definitely not it."
Bai Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Muzhi's stunning face, he was so nervous that he couldn't help swallowing, his body began to tremble, and he said with a trembling voice: "Actually, I remember everything about last night. "
Bai Yiran took a deep breath, summoned up his courage, and broke the calm: "Actually, I want to ask... what do you think?"
The air suddenly became quiet, and a needle could be heard falling.
Jiang Muzhi rubbed his temples, looked out the window, and looked at the person in front of him.
She organized the language: "I..."
She licked her lips: "You know, I can't forget Rong Feijin, my heart is with her, no matter where we are in this world, we meet or part, even if we know that everything will never return to the original appearance, I will never forget her." Still love her."
Jiang Muzhi's heart was full of tears, she lowered her head, stopped looking at Bai Yiran, and forced a not-so-good-looking smile.
"Yi Ran, I don't want to tie you up, I think you deserve better, otherwise you..."
Her voice was almost choked, and she said the last sentence: "Forget about me."
Deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of slippers knocking on the floor sounded all the way to the door.
Jiang Muzhi's heart gradually became panic and reluctance, but she still didn't dare to look up, the last warmth of her life was about to leave her.
She wanted to ask her to keep her, but she knew she couldn't, she couldn't be so selfish, it was just that she didn't know Bai Yiran's thoughts before, how could she become a stumbling block for him to find happiness now?
The expected sound of opening the door did not appear.
Turn around.
The voice spread from the door back to her.
"Sorry, I still can't do it." Bai Yiran smiled bitterly: "I might not even be able to leave in front of you... You must not have imagined that Bai Yiran, who is proud and calm in your heart, is so humble, always Hiding in the shadows, watching your back secretly."
"She also wants to stand in front of you openly and greedily paint your face, your lips, every inch of your skin, but her identity is destined to not allow her."
"She is Rong Feijin's friend."
"But she is still so stubborn, so stubborn, knowing that this is wrong, but still wants to stay by your side."
Bai Yiran paused for a moment, Jiang Muzhi guessed that her eyes must be red at the moment, and she was staring at him affectionately, but she didn't dare to look, she was afraid.
"I know you may still be unable to forget Rong Feijin, even if your heart is with her, so what? I am also willing to accompany you and support you for the rest of your life."
"Yi Ran, you don't have to..."
"Let me continue." Bai Yiran was firm.
"Jiang Muzhi, I don't need your love. I just want to be with you and stay by your side. You treat me as a family member, as a friend, even as a partner... If you refuse I, maybe I will die alone like this, Jiang Muzhi, can you bear it?"
Bai Yiran is blackmailing Jiang Muzhi, because she has no other way, Rong Feijin and Jiang Muzhi are already impossible, now Jiang Muzhi has completely locked himself in the inner world that outsiders can't reach, only she and Liu Only Chen can set foot there.
She didn't want to see her sweetheart panic all the time, obviously she was such a good person, but she regretted her whole life because of a relationship that didn't end well.
Maybe her existence can't make Jiang Muzhi forget all this, but she thinks it's good to have someone who can talk by her side.
Jiang Muzhi lowered his head, his voice stained with blood: "This is too unfair to you."
"There's nothing unfair about it, it's my own choice."
Jiang Muzhi was finally moved by her words, nodded slowly, but said something very seriously:
"If you are tempted by another person, don't worry about me, you must rest assured and boldly chase after him."
Doctor Bai responded, "Okay."
But she knew that from this moment on, there would only be Jiang Mu in her heart.
……
As expected by Jiang Muzhi, Ji Ningchen was still interested in Liu Chen, applied for a job, chased him to Andong City, and deliberately bought a house downstairs from Liu Chen.
This is Jiang Muzhi's guess.
How can there be so many coincidences in the world, the so-called coincidences are nothing more than deliberate intentions, only Liu Chen is still foolishly believing it.
I don't know what's going on, Liu Chen's brain seems to have been implanted with a program, and he firmly believes that Ji Ningchen can't like her, and actually treats her like an old friend who hasn't reunited for a long time.
Be courteous and restrained, and never step over the thunder pool.
Jiang Muzhi simply hated that iron could not be made into steel. This was not the time for someone to get married and say "I don't bless her" with jealous teeth.
How come the real person is cowardly when he sees it?
But in the end, Ji Ningchen got his hands. I don't know if it was because the drunk overlord forced himself to bow or what. The two people who had been entangled for so many years and separated for many years were reunited.
Jiang Muzhi asked her what she thought, and she actually said, "If it doesn't work, let's split it up? It's not like I haven't split up before." Actually, she still has a bit of the carefree spirit she had when she was young.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Muzhi felt relieved, it showed that Liu Chen was living a good life, and even the melancholy that had weighed heavily on his heart was relieved a little because of the smooth life.
It's just that I can't help but think in my heart, Ji Ningchen is here, what about Rong Feijin?How is Rong Feijin?
She didn't ask, so the answer was naturally unknown.
Before you know it, another year has passed.
What is different from usual is that there are more people in the family.
Standing on the open-air balcony, Jiang Muzhi watched the city's night sky burst into clusters of fireworks, and the firelight reflected the huge city and Jiang Muzhi's face.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
It's a completely unfamiliar number.
Jiang Muzhi watched with ecstasy, and had a premonition that she didn't enter the room, but just lay on the railing and pressed the answer button.
For a long time, there was no response.
On such a noisy night, she seemed to be able to hear the other party's faint breathing clearly.
They were deadlocked like this, and no one would say the first sentence.
at this time.
"Amu?"
Bai Yiran pushed open the balcony door, handed her a long down jacket, and complained to her: "It's such a cold day, I wear so little, I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
Jiang Muzhi blinked his eyes unnaturally, and forced the corners of his lips to curl up: "I'm not so fragile."
Doctor Bai shot her an angry look: "I don't know who just had a cold a few days ago and asked me to take care of them."
Suddenly caught a glimpse of the mobile phone in her hand: "I'm on the phone, then I won't bother you."
"Okay." Bai Yiran calmly left this small space that seemed to belong to Jiang Rong and only two people, but he didn't know how much his voice shocked the person opposite.
Jiang Muzhi heard that the breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly became heavy and rapid, and after a few seconds, everything returned to calm.
The man suppressed himself from crying, but his voice was still trembling: "Happy New Year."
"Thank you."
There was a moment of hesitation: "And...yesterday, happy birthday."
"Thank you."
She said so again.
That's all she seemed to be able to say.
Jiang Muzhi didn't know whether to be emotional or sarcastic, time was so cruel that the two people who had been inseparable until death had come to this point, and they couldn't even exchange pleasantries.
There was silence for a while, and the voice was a bit astringent.
"Is that person reliable?"
She got it.
Jiang Muzhi's throat was densely rolling with soreness, he opened his mouth, and then closed it slowly.
She nodded weakly, as if she had exhausted all the strength in her body: "Very... quite reliable."
Rong Feijin smiled lightly, or rather wryly, she just didn't want Jiang Muzhi to worry: "Really? I'm afraid she will treat you badly."
"It will be good to me." Jiang Muzhi seemed unable to continue, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time filled her cheeks in an instant, and she tasted bitterness.
It was silent again, for a long time, she laughed louder, and repeatedly confirmed: "Really? You have always had bad eyesight, otherwise you wouldn't be able to look at me, I, I'm a little worried..."
But her voice kept shaking, trembling so much that Jiang Muzhi even heard the sound of her upper teeth hitting her lower teeth.
Jiang Muzhi covered his mouth in despair, knelt down slowly, and cried silently.
"Ajin...you, Ajin, don't be like this, really, don't be like this."
"I know, I don't want to do this either... I'm just afraid that you will meet someone like me again... She, her, do I know her?"
Jiang Muzhi choked with sobs, and said "Yes", "It's Yi Ran."
"Yi Ran..." The other side seemed to be heaving a sigh of relief, and repeated a sentence in relief and despair: "That's good, it's good..."
Jiang Muzhi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
Rong Feijin seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, I cleared up my emotions, and then said softly: "I have always hoped that you will be happy, that you can start again, while hoping but also afraid that you will fall in love with someone else... But when you really figure it out, I was worried that that person would hurt you, but I forgot that the person who hurt you the most was me."
"It's me, right?"
She was not asking Jiang Muzhi, but herself.
"You are so smart, you must have already guessed some of the reasons why I left you, from the moment I said I love you...But no matter whether there is a reason or not, I have ruined your life after all."
"Next life, next life..." Like a madman, Rong Feijin kept repeating, but suddenly stopped and forcibly changed the subject.
"Jiang Muzhi, do you still love me?" the man asked.
Jiang Muzhi's throat moved: "Love."
"But we can't be together, can we?"
"Yes."
"Jiang Muzhi, do you still remember that you once said "you want what I want"?"
"remember."
"Hasn't it changed now?"
"No."
"Okay." Rong Feijin said: "I used to want us to be together forever... Now, now I want you to be happy, and go on well with Bai Yiran."
After speaking, the phone was cut off in an instant, and before hanging up, Jiang Muzhi heard a desperate and suppressed cry that he could no longer bear.
Jiang Muzhi looked at the night sky and remained silent for a long time.
The words "walk down with Yi Ran" kept flashing in her mind, and she couldn't help leaning on the railing and looking sideways.
The thin figure was sitting on the sofa, with a full fruit plate in front of him, staring at the TV as if completing an important ceremony intently.
Jiang Muzhi widened his glasses, looked up at the sky and blinked again, tears disappeared from the corners of his eyes.
Finally he sighed in relief.
She and Rong Feijin were completely over, and the phone call was cut off, and it would be eternity.
In fact, it would be a very happy and fortunate thing to be able to stay with Bai Yiran for a lifetime like this.
Maybe she still can't forget Rong Feijin, maybe she will still be haunted by nightmares, but two people are better than one.Maybe one day, she will suddenly realize that she has fallen in love with Bai Yiran.
Who can say what will happen tomorrow?
Let the past let her go, people always have to move forward.
But no matter what, Jiang Muzhi still looks forward to the day when they get old and retire, and everyone will gather together.
At that time, she must tell Rong Feijin.
I did it.
Also tell her that she didn't ask the answer to the question just now... She may not see her again in her next life, because she is afraid that seeing her will make her love her uncontrollably.
Jiang Muzhi wanted to promise the next life to the person in front of him.
Goodbye, Rong Feijin.
Hello, Doctor Bai.
