Ji Xiuran didn't react at all, just lowered his head and looked at the phone.
The attending doctor looked at Su Yang who was standing aside with an embarrassed look on his face: "Assistant Su, this..."
Su Yang stepped forward and said carefully: "Mr. Ji..."
Ji Xiuran didn't respond, and still lowered his head to scroll through his phone.
Su Yang raised his eyes and saw Ji Xiuran staring at a photo, and couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Ran had already told him about Zhao Ningchu's second spring. He thought it would be a good thing for Ji Xiuran, but now...
"Mr. Ji."
Su Yang spoke again.
Ji Xiuran raised his eyes and looked at Su Yang, and asked with some uncertainty: "Su Yang, did I do the right thing?"
Su Yang thought for a while and said, "My wife seems to be doing very well now!"
He continued to hold his lips together and said nothing.
"Mr. Ji, it's time to change your dressing."
Ji Xiuran raised his eyes and looked at him: "Do you know everything?"
Su Yang nodded bravely: "Yes!"
Ji Xiuran lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Su Yang sighed silently.
In the next few days, Zhao Ningchu went out to eat with He Jingzhi every day, and every time he posted on WeChat Moments, only Ji Xiuran could read it.
But still no news.
Zhao Ningchu looked at Ji Xiuran's WeChat and was extremely angry.
Is this guy a Ninja Turtle?
But the next second, Zhao Ningchu began to doubt himself again.
Maybe I was wrong all along.
This person is not Ji Xiuran at all.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ningchu felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
She clicked on 'Chen Jun's' circle of friends, but there was no activity in it.
How come someone doesn’t post updates?
Zhao Ning couldn't figure it out at first.
So he sent a message to Gu Ran to ask, but when he saw Gu Ran's reply, Zhao Ningchu felt disappointed.
Gu Ran said: There is no one who does not post in Moments, so it must be set to chat only.
Zhao Ningchu threw her phone aside with some disappointment, lay on her back on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.
From heaven to hell, it is nothing more than this.
At noon the next day, I went to He Jingzhi's clinic to find him.
After the staff saw this, they all said ambiguously to He Jingzhi's office: "Dr. He, your girlfriend is here to see you."
In less than a minute, He Jingzhi walked out of the office. After seeing her, he smiled and said, "What do you want to eat today?"
Zhao Ningchu shook his head slightly.
He Jingzhi's face froze: "What's wrong?"
"Dr. He, I don't think I will come to you for dinner anymore."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want to pretend to be a couple anymore, I'm going to give up."
Zhao Ningchu said the last words to himself.
Last night, she thought about it all night and finally figured it out.
That Chen Jun was not Ji Xiuran at all, it was just her imagination.
Even though it had been so long, her subconscious still couldn't accept the fact that Ji Xiuran left.
That's why she had such an unrealistic assumption that Ji Xiuran would appear in front of her one day.
When He Jingzhi heard these words from Zhao Ningchu, the smile on his face froze.
"Why?"
"I just don't want to anymore. Thank you very much for this time."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to He Jingzhi.
He Jingzhi couldn't accept it for a while and just stared at Zhao Ningchu blankly.
Zhao Ningchu saw that he was silent, so she continued, "I'll go back first, so I won't disturb your work."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The next second, He Jingzhi suddenly came back to his senses, chased after him with steps, and grabbed Zhao Ningchu's wrist.
"Xiao Chu..."
Zhao Ning was slightly stunned when she heard He Jingzhi call her.
Before she could speak, He Jingzhi took the lead and said, "I've wanted to call you that for a long time."
"Dr. He, you..."
"I know that we have been acting together during this period. You also said at the beginning that we were a fake couple, but..."
Having said this, He Jingzhi paused.
Zhao Ningchu raised her eyes and looked at her, waiting for his next words.
He Jingzhi continued: "I'm actually very happy that you can ask me for help. I've been the happiest this month. We went shopping, ate, and watched movies together. I...you...if I..."
Later, He Jingzhi stuttered nervously, unable to speak a complete sentence.
Zhao Ningchu interrupted him: "Dr. He, what do you want to say?"
He Jingzhi took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to speak: "I like you, can we be a real couple?"
Zhao Ningchu was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
He Jingzhi looked at her surprised expression and continued: "I know it's a bit abrupt for me to say this, but I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, Xiaochu, I like you, what about you?"
When He Jingzhi asked this question, his face was cautious and his eyes were full of expectations.
Zhao Ningchu felt a little sorry. If she had known this would happen at the beginning, she would definitely not have asked He Jingzhi for help.
"Um, Doctor He, I don't..."
Before he finished speaking, He Jingzhi interrupted directly: "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, I'll give you time to think about it."
Zhao Ningchu sighed silently: "Okay!"
"Then let's go to dinner today. You invited me last time, but I'll come this time!"
Zhao Ningchu nodded.
During the meal, Zhao Ningchu was distracted.
He Jingzhi observed her carefully with his peripheral vision, and after a while he said, "Do you need a consecration before dinner today?"
Zhao Ningchu smiled awkwardly, then shook his head slightly: "No, thank you."
"Then let's eat!"
"Um!"
After the meal, He Jingzhi insisted on sending someone home, but Zhao Ningchu had no choice but to agree.
In the following period of time, Zhao Ningchu did not contact Chen Jun again, nor did he post to Moments anymore. He even directly set Chen Jun to chat only!
She should eat and drink every day. He Jingzhi would sometimes ask her to go out for dinner, but Zhao Ningchu refused every time.
She wanted to tell He Jingzhi her attitude, but He Jingzhi didn't care at all and asked her out for dinner when he had time.
Gu Ran also noticed that Zhao Ningchu hadn't left the house for a long time, so she began to worry.
"Achu, why don't you go on a date with Dr. He?"
"Not going!"
"Why? Aren't you dating?"
"No relationship, just friends!"
Gu Ran was surprised and said: "Do I have friends like you?"
Since learning that Ji Xiuran died, Zhao Ningchu's state has been good and bad. Some time ago, I saw He Jingzhi drinking and eating out every day, and he was in good spirits. Today, he stopped going out again.
"Ah Chu, how about we go out for a picnic on New Year's Day? We haven't had a picnic for a long time."
"Why do you want to go so suddenly?"
"Come on, you haven't left the house for more than a week, so just stay with me."
"Just the two of us?"
"There are four in your family and two in mine. Why don't you call Dr. He?"
Zhao Ningchu thought for a while, maybe she could take this opportunity to make it clear to He Jingzhi, so she had no choice but to agree.
On New Year's Day, He Jingzhi came to pick up Zhao Ningchu's family early.
This time the destination is Yufeng Mountain.
When Zhao Ningchu stood at the foot of the mountain, he thought of the scene when he came here before.
It's just that they were at the club at that time, but this time they were at the top of the mountain, on a large open-air lawn, which was perfect for a picnic.
Gu Ran and Zhao Ningchu spread a picnic blanket on the grass. After placing their things, the two little guys couldn't wait to sit on it and roll around!
Zhao Ningchu looked at He Jingzhi and Su Yang who were baking something and said, "Ranran, do we really not need to help?"
"Just help with the food. If you're too lazy to come out and play, our job is to eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jingzhi came over with a plate of roasted beef and handed it to Zhao Ningchu.
"Give……"
When Gu Ran saw this, she started to make noises: "Hey, Dr. He only has eyes for us, Xiao Chu, and there is a big living person here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Nini answered: "Where are my brother and me?"
Zhao Ningchu was teased like this and took the plate with some embarrassment: "Thank you..."
"You eat first, and I'll bake it for you later."
Zhao Ningchu was about to refuse, but He Jingzhi had already left.
"Xiao Chu..."
Gu Ran picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"what?"
"I think Dr. He is very good, please think about it!"
Zhao Ningchu refused without even thinking.
Zhao Ningchu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
When Gu Ran saw this situation, she sighed: "Xiaochu, let it go, Ji Xiuran can't come back."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she felt sour in her heart: "I know, this time, I have already let it go."
"That's good!"
After saying that, she saw Su Yang waving towards Gu Ran. Gu Ran stood up and picked up Nini: "Let's go, let's go have barbecue..."
So a few people began to eat around the barbecue grill. Zhao Ningchu watched He Jingzhiguang take care of the two little guys. He didn't even take a bite, so he said: "Doctor He, don't worry about them, they will eat by themselves."
He Jingzhi smiled, picked up a piece of pork belly, wrapped it in lettuce and handed it to Zhao Ningchu's mouth.
Zhao Ningchu hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it: "Thank you..."
Gu Ran picked up the beer and handed it to Zhao Ningchu: "Now, let's have a drink."
"good!"
"Cheers, for our new life in Xiaochu!"
After Gu Ran finished speaking, several people clinked glasses.
Until the afternoon, everyone had almost eaten, and there was still more than half of the food on the grill.
Zhao Ningchu really couldn't eat anymore, so he suggested walking around to eat.
She walked to the pavilion on the top of the mountain alone, and within a few minutes, she saw He Jingzhi walking towards her.
“The scenery here is really nice.”
"Yes, you can see half of Yanjing."
"Xiaochu, I know what I said, have you thought about it?"
She knew that Zhao Ningchu had been rejecting his invitation during this period, so he must be considering this matter.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to start a new relationship yet. As you can see, the two children are very naughty. I am tired of just caring about them."
Hearing this, He Jingzhi laughed sarcastically: "I know!"
Immediately, both of them fell silent.
The atmosphere became a little awkward, and Zhao Ningchu broke the embarrassment: "We should still be good friends!"
He Jingzhi smiled bitterly: "Xiaochu, is it because of him that you rejected me?"
Zhao Ningchu was stunned and didn't speak.
He Jingzhi continued: "You can deceive other people and you can deceive yourself, but you can't deceive me."
"Dr. He, you..."
"Even if Ji Xiuran dies, you will never forget him, right?"
Zhao Ningchu was silent for two seconds, and then said: "Yes, I always thought that I would forget him, if not in one month, then two months, half a year, or even more time.
I'm also telling myself to let go, but I can't do it. In the middle of the night, I can always see him, and I always feel like he is by my side all the time, just like now."
When Zhao Ningchu said this, he showed a wry smile: "You can say that I am crazy or possessed, but I really feel that Ji Xiuran is still here."
"I understand."
Zhao Ningchu was stunned for a moment and smiled politely: "Dr. He, thank you!"
He Jingzhi didn't say anything, and Zhao Ningchu continued: "I'm too full. I'm just strolling around, so I won't disturb you to enjoy the scenery."
After saying that, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
But not long after leaving, Zhao Ningchu discovered a problem and got lost.
She walked back, not back to the pavilion, and she didn't have her mobile phone with her at the moment.
Zhao Ningchu stood there with a confused look on his face, not knowing where to go for a moment.
Suddenly, thunder pierced the sky, and before Zhao Ningchu could react, a huge amount of rain fell from the sky.
In an instant, Zhao Ningchu's whole body was soaked. She quickened her pace and hurried down the mountain, thinking that she could always walk back.
However, the rain was too heavy and the ground gradually became slippery. Zhao Ningchu took careful steps, but still slipped.
The next second, her whole body fell directly to the ground and rolled down the slope.
"Ahhhh..."
Zhao Ningchu stretched out his hand to grab something, but couldn't grab it at all and rolled directly into a cave.
Zhao Ningchu was lying on the ground in a miserable state, with rainwater hitting her face one by one.
She tried to struggle to get up, but she couldn't control her body at all.
Zhao Ningchu opened and closed his mouth and said help.
Unfortunately, the thunder outside almost drowned out her voice.
Am I going to die in a place like this?
Zhao Ningchu was thinking vaguely.
Ji Xiuran's face appeared in his mind.
Ji Xiuran!
I don’t know if it was Zhao Ningchu’s hallucination, but the next second, Ji Xiuran also appeared in Zhao Ningchu’s sight.
"Ji Xiuran..."
She spoke in a low voice and stared blankly at the man in front of her. She didn't dare to move, fearing that like last time in the kitchen, if she rushed up to him, he would disappear.
Ji Xiuran looked at Zhao Ningchu, who was in a state of embarrassment, with heartache in his eyes.
"Ji Xiuran, am I going to die, so you came to take me away?"
Ji Xiuran tried to pick her up with trembling hands, but as soon as he touched Zhao Ningchu, Zhao Ningchu felt a sharp pain in his back.
"Ah, it hurts..."
The pain instantly made Zhao Ningchu sober up.
"Where does it hurt?"
Zhao Ningchu froze.
Ji Xiuran spoke.
The person in front of me...
Why is it so true.
Ji Xiuran.
Zhao Ningchu stretched out her hand to touch Ji Xiuran's face, but stopped halfway.
Can't touch.
It's gone as soon as you touch it.
The next second, Ji Xiuran reached out to cover her back, took her hand, and placed it on his cheek.
