Fragrance of peaches and plums

"Why did you come back, how did you come in?" Xia Zhengyu asked when the two separated, already fully awake.

Wen Xi looked at him and said in a low voice: "If you don't reply to my message, I feel uneasy, so I came back... I can only stay here for a while, and I will go out soon, I brought you the charger and practice Question, watch and play by yourself."

"Which subject?" Xia Zhengyu noticed the stack of books on the bedside table, and there were all kinds of books, "So many!"

Wen Xi put his right hand close to his face, touched his ear, and said, "You can do whatever you want, don't be tired, and don't be idle."

"I've been here, who knows..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Wen Xi pinched his earlobe, looking a little serious.

Xia Zhengyu immediately became obedient, and instead of making unlucky jokes, he started talking about business: "My grandma is sick. She is at 310 on the third floor. The doctor Lu Huaiting said that she needs to be observed. I will be quarantined here for seven days."

"I see, you don't have to worry about grandma, I'll take care of you." The patient in the same ward seemed to wake up, Wen Xi let him go, and the two subconsciously moved away, Wen Xi said, "You will be fine ,rest assured."

Xia Zhengyu had always handled the question of whether he was busy or not, neither pessimistic nor dared to think "it's not my turn".Now that Wen Xi came, he suddenly felt a great sense of comfort, his desire to survive became stronger, and he really believed that nothing would happen to him.

"Okay." He nodded, unable to say anything else.

Wen Xi stayed for a while, then went out.

The cold weather lasted for two or three days. There were more and more patients with cold symptoms in City A, and more and more patients with signs similar to XI. There were confirmed cases at the Second Hospital, and it was said that they were doing their best to treat them.

Xia Jun was terrified by this, and repeatedly said that luckily he was not transferred.

Grandma stayed in the hospital for four days, and suffered from bronchial asthma again, but the other major problems did not appear.The fever symptoms repeated several times in the first two days before admission, and became stable on the third day.

Seeing this, Xia Jun started chasing after the doctor to ask if he could be discharged from the hospital. Lu Huaiting only helped them arrange the best resources possible, and didn't say he would help them afford the expenses.

The hospital is directly in charge of grandma, not Dr. Mei.Xia Jun grinds and grinds, the doctor promises to observe for another day, and then signs to discharge them according to the situation.

"Thank you, thank you, sorry for your trouble!" Xia Jun smiled like a harmless pug when he got a satisfactory answer.

When she turned around and saw Wen Xi, her smile froze for a moment.I don't want to smile anymore, but I don't want to change my face too obviously.

He really didn't like Xia Zhengyu as a "boyfriend", but this person didn't seem so easy to mess with.At least, also his boss' brother.What's more, it was someone else who took care of me inside and out these days.

So he reluctantly took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, Mr. Wen."

Wen Xi walked over, didn't greet him, and asked directly: "Have you asked Zheng Yu for the old man to be released from the hospital?"

"He's a child, what can I ask? My mother herself agreed to leave the hospital." Xia Jun maintained a fairly good attitude and explained.

Wen Xi pursed his lips, looking at Xia Jun with eyes as cold as ice.

After looking at it for a while, I didn't say anything, and turned to go to the grandma's ward.

Grandma seems to be in good spirits. She ate a lot of the lunch brought by Aunt Zhou today, and she is talking and laughing with Aunt Zhou right now.Seeing Wenxi coming in, he stopped to say hello, and then asked about Xia Zhengyu's situation.

"There are too many patients over there, and they won't let them in from today onwards. Zhengyu is fine, and if there is no problem after observation, he will come out." Wen Xi said.

"It would be great if I could be discharged from the hospital with me tomorrow... Tell me, it's unlucky that the whole family is in the hospital." Grandma muttered, sighed, and said to Aunt Zhou, "Didn't the doctor prescribe asthma?" Spray it, next time I want to feel uncomfortable again, just spray a little, don’t come to the hospital again.”

Aunt Zhou smiled and did not express her opinion, but quietly glanced at Wen Xi.

Wen Xi realized that she had something to say, and after exchanging pleasantries with grandma, she went out.Soon, Aunt Zhou followed out.

"Eldest sister can't be discharged from the hospital!" Aunt Zhou said, "I'm not afraid of speaking unpleasantly. My mother-in-law used to be like this. She was suffering from serious and minor illnesses. She stayed in the hospital for a week. She was considerate of everything, and there was no problem. Once I got home, no one noticed in the middle of the night, and it disappeared quietly."

Wen Xi asked: "You take care of grandma a lot, do you think she is stable?"

"What's the matter?" Aunt Zhou frowned, "It's all good! Where does it hurt? If it doesn't hurt enough to roll over, don't worry about it. Other problems don't interfere with your work, so don't worry about it. Your grandma eats it." Chinese medicine, no, it can’t be adjusted!”

Speaking of this, she sighed and said: "You young people don't often get together with the old people. I don't know. Many old people feel uncomfortable every day and never talk about it."

Wen Xi said: "I'll talk to the doctor."

"You kid, you have such a kind heart. Your father taught you well." Aunt Zhou raised her eyebrows and smiled, with some emotion in her words.

Wen Xi smiled, but didn't answer.

After talking with Aunt Zhou, Wen Xi made an appointment with Dr. Mei, set a time for an interview, and then went to the base.He Chun and Zhuang Ze are waiting for him to have a meeting there.

Since the base started to operate basically normally, the three of them seldom got together for a full meeting. This time the situation was a bit tricky.The one they offended years ago, the former secretary's secretary, is now fighting for land with him.

There is a backstage there, and there is money.Both of them are somewhat lacking in comparison.

Arriving at the base, Hechun and Zhuang Ze were already discussing.He Chun waved to him, without stopping what he had said with Zhuang Ze.Wen Xi listened for a while, and heard that they were discussing whether to invite the Gu family to come forward.

If Hechun asks for his brother-in-law, the chances of winning this matter are quite high.But the problem is that the probability of him asking for a brother-in-law is not very high.

On the one hand, that brother-in-law didn't quite agree with Hechun's project, so it was considered a big help for Hechun to move such a large amount of money earlier.On the other hand, the people in power of the Gu family quickly retreated, and at this time they were not willing to use these efforts.

"...In their view, my small project will be yellow if it is dirty. What we do, in the eyes of the leader of my brother-in-law's family, is children playing with toys, and asking them to help me protect the toys is not very reliable. .”

Zhuang Ze nodded, expressing his understanding, and said, "In the current situation, relying on money is indeed more convenient than relying on people."

He Chun: "But it will be difficult to find anyone to invest in for a while."

Zhuang Ze said frankly: "My family members can't give much."

The two fell silent, and He Chun glanced at Wen Xi, hesitant to speak.

After listening to Wen Xi, he understood both the inside and outside meaning of what they said, as well as He Chun's glance - now, the most promising investment is Dai Wanqing.

After a while, Wen Xi said, "I'll try."

Hearing this, both of them looked towards him.Hechun hesitated to speak again.They all knew that Wen Xi was not very willing to cooperate with Dai Wanqing. It would certainly be beneficial in terms of the situation for him to let go, but he himself would definitely be unhappy.

"We can't give up halfway... It's not halfway, we just started." Wen Xi seemed to know what Hechun was going to say, looking at him, "I'll go and talk, I can't guarantee how much we can get."

Both Hechun and Zhuang Ze nodded wordlessly.

"Do you need my help?" It was past six o'clock on the return trip to Dr. Mei's appointment. Lu Huaiting got news of his grandma's condition from Dr. Mei and called Wen Xi.

The two chatted about grandma, and then turned to the topic of work.

"I can ask for more money for you, and I can also give you my own money, but I have to evaluate the return on investment." Lu Huaiting said, his tone full of businesslike calm, without sympathy or sarcasm.

In doing business, he has judgment and determination beyond his age, which is what Wenxi likes about him, and it is also the reason why their brothers once shared the same goals.

But for more than two years, they met again across continents and oceans, and there was a bloody emotional scene in the middle. It has been a long time since they chatted from this familiar angle.

"Okay, I will sort out the materials for you later - first for you, then for mother." Wen Xi said.

Lu Huaiting gave a "hmm", and there was the sound of the door opening and closing, it sounded like Lu Huaiting had gone out.Wen Xi planned to hang up the phone: "Are you going to class? Then hang up first."

"No, I'm going to see my psychiatrist." Lu Huaiting replied.

Wen Xi was taken aback.

Lu Huaiting was quite calm: "You must want to say, I am finally willing to see a psychiatrist, right?"

"Yes." Wen Xi's business became gentle, "You have always refused to let people interfere with you."

"But people have to grow up." Lu Huaiting said, "Aren't you growing up too? You are willing to talk to me and my mother about cooperation."

Wen Xi laughed at himself: "For survival."

Lu Huaiting: "I know, me too."

At this point, both of them went on in silence. After a while, Lu Huaiting broke the silence and said, "There is something that Xia Zhengyu has never believed. I think maybe you will believe it, so I want to explain it to you."

"You said."

"That year, when I went to grandma to come out for him, I didn't intend to kill grandma. At least, I didn't have that kind of purpose in my heart." Lu Huaiting's voice was very soft, and he spoke slowly, before he paused.

But Wen Xi knew he didn't finish, so he didn't interrupt him.

"I thought, if I hadn't met Xia Zhengyu's accusations, I might really have become like my mother—you know what it is. But at that time, I wasn't so...so ruthless." He sighed, and said , "Xia Zhengyu thinks highly of me. At that time, I was just an embroidered pillow, and I couldn't kill people."

"Do you believe it?" he asked.

This time, he finished speaking.

Wen Xi moved her lips and replied softly: "I believe it."

"Thank you."

Lu Huaiting didn't say any more and hung up the phone.

Night has fallen, and the lights seem to be composed of lights of different shades, creating a lonely and lonely atmosphere.Wen Xi slowed down, took a deep breath of the cold and lonely air, then turned and walked into the central hospital.
