silent garden

After a long time, Xia Qi had a wide enough and far-reaching perspective to see the special and profound influence of this night in his life bit by bit.At that time, he was no longer with Fei Tianlan, and they had almost no contact with each other.Looking forward, there is no chance of life intersecting again.Unless he turns back.

He lives alone, very quietly.

In fact, he lived quietly if not alone.In Fei Tianlan's words, he "spent his entire life at home, in the laboratory, and in the vegetable market at three points and one line."

He himself is not dissatisfied with such a life.There are endless research, and there are homes worthy of the market, obviously happy like a fairy.But Fei Tianlan's attitude when he said this made people roll their eyes.It is a typical reaction of being immersed in the patriarchal ideological atmosphere for a long time, as if men should fight the mall like him, and the home and vegetable market are the territory of women.

He regards Xia Qi as a woman.

He also hopes that Xia Qi is a woman.

But Xia Qi is not, nor does he want him to have such expectations for his liking.For a while, when he thought of Fei Tianlan wishing he was a woman, his throat tightened with discomfort.Because in his opinion, it means that what he loves is not himself.It's something new, something fantasy, something... doesn't matter, it's not the real him anyway.

——However, this is actually another topic.It's just that this topic always appeared in his spare time together with the memories related to this night during those days when he lived alone.

He often wonders whether people really have sovereignty over their memories.If so, why were these two things never allowed in his mind.He was forced to keep going back, was forced to peel off cocoons, and was forced to taste repeatedly.

And then everything can't be forgotten.

But at this moment, he still doesn't know anything, and he can't predict the entanglement in the future.

He took Fei Tianlan's card to buy coffee, all of which had to be freshly ground.A clerk is grinding coffee beans for him and it will take some time.He wandered around the convenience store, thinking that Fei Tianlan might not have had a good dinner, so he could bring something to eat by the way.Since it was brought to him, it should also be brought to others.

He heard a call that he probably shouldn't have heard right in front of the bento shelf.

"...Heh, that kid took a small business and drank tea with Secretary Gu twice, thinking that he had made a great contribution to turning the tide, and his tail was so high..."

"That's right, you're right! We built Sanjiang's country, and you should be in charge when Lao Fei is gone! How can that little brat move Sanjiang?"

"Don't worry, things must be safe, everything is settled. When the time comes..."

Xia Qi held a rice ball tightly in his hand, listening to the sound from the opposite side of a shelf, his breathing and heartbeat seemed to be held in the palm of his hand.Can't move, at the mercy of others.

The voice gradually moved away from the door of the convenience store, and he hurriedly changed his position to try to see the other person's face clearly.Then, he firmly remembered that face and that voice.

He stared at the place where the other party disappeared for a long time, only to realize that the rice ball was pinched and deformed in his hands.Coffee is also packaged.He collected himself, and went back to the bento shelf to pick out the best box for Fei Tianlan, and no one else thought about it.

Who knows if those people are worth it.

Back at the hospital, Fei Tianlan was still in a meeting with everyone.The people in the convenience store just now also participated in it.Xia Qi silently distributed coffee to them, and naturally they missed a cup in the end.Fei Tianlan is a generous boss, so he casually handed his own to the newcomer.

"Director Zhou, drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."

Xia Qi looked at Director Zhou coldly.The latter didn't notice this, and Gu Gu and Fei Tianlan hypocritically refused.The face was overly fat, the flesh crowded together, and at first glance benign and respectful.If you look closely, there are dirt and dirt hidden in the folds.

The coffee was handed back and forth between the two of them two or three times, and it was not decided who would enjoy it.

At this time, a group of people rushed towards the elevator: "Over there—"

"Fei Tianlan! Return my husband!" A woman cried and rushed towards Fei Tianlan.

Fei Tianlan was surrounded by everyone, but she squeezed in between the two managers like a vigorous fish.He failed to pounce on the target himself, but the cup of coffee was knocked over without accident, spilling Fei Tianlan all over.And hurt the two people around me.

A trace of panic flashed across Fei Tianlan's face.Xia Qi has been paying attention to him all the time, and he can see everything clearly.

It turned out that he was not so calm.Xia Qi thought.Then I felt like I was stung by an ant.When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of Fei Tianlan.He himself was surprised.

"Xia Qi..." Fei Tianlan was even more surprised, and put his hands on his shoulders, "Don't, you go and stay by the side."

He gave it a little push.Xia Qi refused to move.He stared fiercely at the crying woman in front of him.Behind the woman were two children and two adults.Needless to say, these are the relatives of the driver in the operating room.

When the woman's gaze met Xia Qi's, she seemed a little frightened.When he wanted to attack again, he turned around and turned into lying on the ground.She looked over 50, a typical working woman.If such an image appears in a TV series, it is either a wronged and bullied character, or a troublemaker and blackmailer.Occupying the moral high ground of vulnerable groups, aggressive.

"Old Yan! Old Yan——your life is so miserable, how can you have such a boss!"

"Sister-in-law..." Fei Tianlan patted Xia Qi, and squeezed slightly when his hand fell on his shoulder.He is reassuring himself.

Xia Qi's heart was sour, and he stepped back a little.

Fei Tianlan squatted down and tried to comfort the woman with a kind face: "Brother Yan is still undergoing surgery, the doctor will do his best to save him, he will be fine..."

"It's all right!" The woman waved her hand, pulled her pair of children, looked up at her relatives, and shouted, "Don't think I don't know, the car is overturned! Why do you overload him! Dora What's up with the round!"

The two adults immediately followed up and pursued the responsibility: "That's right, that's not how you are rushing to meet the construction deadline, because all you pull are stones!"

"It's dangerous enough to start work in the middle of the night. You guys are too dark-hearted to force the driver to do things like this! That's human life!"

"Tip Boss, you are young, uncle advises you, you can't be like this..."

Hearing this, as soon as Xia Qi leaned over, he wanted to punch him.Because he felt humiliated by the words.

But a hand immediately grasped his five fingers.Fei Tianlan rubbed his thumb lightly between his fingers, comforting him just like before, gentle and pampering.And still remaining patient, trying to reason with the family.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The operation is underway, and the cause of the accident is under investigation. I will definitely give you an explanation. The problem you just mentioned may indeed exist, but we didn't think carefully..."

"Admit it!" The woman jumped up suddenly, condescending, and pointed at Fei Tianlan.

Her gaze was sharp and menacing, and she swept across the other Sanjiang people present without landing, and shouted loudly: "You heard it! Your boss admitted that you deliberately overloaded my husband! This car accident was caused by you If my husband is gone, you will pay for my life!"

"..."

There were five or six Sanjiang people present, none of them refuted after hearing this.

Xia Qi suddenly turned to look at them, only to see the faces were either indifferent, timid, or disgusted.His gaze finally settled on Director Zhou's face.The expression on this fat face was relaxed and calm, even showing a subtle satisfaction.

He thought he understood.

I don't quite understand.

His heart was numb and trembling, but he held Fei Tianlan's hand instead.And the latter seemed to follow his increased strength and stood up.When the woman yelled and reprimanded him just now, he was squatting, as if he still had his head down—no one could see his expression.

"Does he understand too?" Xia Qi thought, turning his head to look at him, but he couldn't see any expression on this person for a moment.

I only heard him solemnly say to the woman: "Please believe me, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Squeak—" The door of the operating room opened.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the door of the operating room.

Xia Qi felt the hand shaking.Like a nervous twitch.He suddenly remembered what Fei Tianlan said earlier in the car, "It's no big deal if you're alive."However, his ears clearly heard the doctor say: "I'm sorry..."

The hand loosened.

Later, Xia Qi took Fei Tianlan's hand and ran forward.

He originally thought that Fei Tianlan would not run away with him, and he was ready to use brute force to take him away.But Fei Tianlan hardly resisted or hesitated.He lifted his legs forward and whispered "go", and Fei Tianlan really ran with him.

Probably no one expected them to run away, everyone including the woman was stunned for a moment.

By the time the woman came after her, yelling to kill and pay, they had already reached the stairs.They crossed two or three steps, and the three floors were passed in a blink of an eye, and the chasing and shouting behind them all began to move away.But they didn't stop.

Outside the outpatient building is a square, and outside the square is a road.

On the road late at night, there are fewer cars and fewer people.It was so quiet that there were only the sound of running under your feet, panting in your mouth, and the sound of wind in your ears.They ran and ran along the road.In Xia Qi's memory, they ran to the point of nausea and vomiting, they couldn't even hold their hands steady, and finally they both collapsed on the side of the road.

If you run too much, your oxygen supply is insufficient.The body is cold and the head is dizzy.I want to vomit, but I can only retch when I open my mouth.I don't know how long it took before my body gradually returned to normal.

He turned to look at Fei Tianlan.

The other party has already recovered, breathing very calmly.Judging from the side face facing him, the expression is also very calm.But pale.The street lamp shone on his face, as if it had painted a dark border on the line formed by the forehead, nose tip, and chin.In his eyes, this outline is pitiful, wronged, strong and unbearable in life.

"Fei Tianlan." He moved his lips, and then he was startled.Followed by Xing Xing - he didn't really make a sound, but moved his lips to make the name.He felt distressed.

For the first time, he felt sympathy for others.

But he was afraid that this sympathy would be a humiliation to Fei Tianlan, so he didn't dare to reveal half of it.So he thought about it, and asked the most appropriate and boring question: "Where is this?"

"Huh?" Hearing the question, Fei Tianlan seemed to have come back to reality from some thoughts, and his voice had a faint sense of waking up.Then she turned to meet his gaze.They looked at each other briefly.Fei Tianlan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"I do not know either."

"What should I do?"

"do not know."

"..."

After a while, Xia Qi asked again: "Are you hungry?"

Fei Tianlan said: "It seems a bit." He looked away, looked at the sky, and murmured, "I want to drink the soup you made... I forgot to ask you, do you guys like soup in Jiangsu too?"

Xia Qi swallowed his throat: "...No. I learned it after I came here."

Fei Tianlan nodded his chin, not knowing what he was thinking, for a moment, he said, "Then you are very kind to me."

Xia Qi watched ancient historical dramas when he was a child, but he didn’t remember whether they were about the Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms, but the battle between the two armies was filmed.One side is too strong, and the other side is holding a shield while protecting itself while retreating steadily.When he heard Fei Tianlan's words, he felt that there was such a battle in his heart.

Withdraw without reason, don't know where to retreat.
