Qianyu knew she had arrived home safely, so she was going to hang up the phone and go to sleep.
After all, someone acted like a resentful husband and urged me several times.
But I never expected that my best friend would suddenly throw out such a big melon.
She was shocked!
"What did you say? My brother went to find you? How did he know where you were eating?" Qianyu's suddenly high tone startled Mr. Feng next to him.
"I don't know either."
"Then what does he mean? Knowing that you and Lu Jiaming are together, why are you so anxious? Do you regret it?"
Fisher reached the floor, walked out of the elevator with listless steps, opened the door, and entered the room.
"Actually last night...he told me that he regretted it and asked if there was still a chance. I -"
"What, what?" Before Fisher could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qianyu's high-pitched voice, "You said that my father and brother sent you home last night, and he followed you...is this a confession?"
"But I didn't agree..."
Not surprisingly.
Qianyu felt that any girl with integrity would not agree so easily.
I put aside my dignity and reserve and pursued the relationship for more than a year and was rejected several times. Now that I have put aside the past and started a new relationship, I come here again to say that I regret it and whether I still have a chance...
Is being a girl like cabbage?
Although Zhuo Yilin is her family member, Qianyu also stands by her best friend: "It is right not to agree. If he is really sincere, he will pursue you in turn. It comes too easily, and most likely he doesn't know how to cherish it. If he does it again in the future,
Whenever he encountered any difficulties or obstacles, he would turn around and leave in a matter of seconds.”
This is human nature.
The more you give, the more reluctant you are to let go, because no one is willing to let their hard work go to waste.
The easier it is to get it, the less you know how to cherish it, because if you lose something that is easy to get, you will find it again.
Fisher said sadly, "Yeah... I don't want to agree anyway. The more he regrets it, the more I feel that my choice is right."
Qianyu heard this and wanted to point it out - dear, if this is the mentality, it means you haven't given up yet, and the two of you are deliberately fighting.
But thinking that she had drunk too much and it was very late, he just comforted her: "Now that you have confirmed your relationship with Lu Jiaming, let's enjoy the sweetness of love. It's getting late, so you should go to bed quickly."
"Well, good night~"
After hanging up the phone, Fisher fell weakly onto the sofa, pulled a pillow into his arms, and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.
Her eyes were shaking a little and her head was dizzy. She had indeed drunk too much.
But the scene of Zhuo Yilin getting out of the car and walking in front of her was so clear.
"I just got off work and saw that your circle of friends were eating nearby, so I came to pick you up."
His words are still echoing in my ears, as if they have never dissipated...
This kind of person is no different from an asshole.
Now you are pretending to be affectionate, why did you go there so early?
After thinking about it for a while, she warned herself not to be confused and to stay rational.
The current rationale is that Lu Jiaming is more suitable for me!

On weekends, Zhuo Yilin got up early as usual.
I drove to a high-end nursing home.
After parking the car, before he could get out of the car, a young girl with a cane came forward and said, "Brother Yi Lin, you are here!"
"Xiaoru, good morning." The man slammed the car door and smiled politely at her.
Only the girl's left leg was intact, her right leg was amputated above the knee, and her trouser legs were hanging empty.
She used crutches and walked quickly and steadily. She had obviously adapted to her mutilated limbs.
"how have you been?"
"Just the same as usual, go to work, get off work, and occasionally hang out with colleagues." Feng Ru said casually, following the man to the ward.
When the nurse saw Zhuo Yilin, she nodded politely: "Hello, Dr. Zhuo."
"Hello."
Putting down the fruit in his hand, Zhuo Yilin walked to the bedside and looked at his savior, Feng Qian, who had been sleeping for more than ten years.
Feng Qian was three years older than him, and her two families were neighbors. When he was nine years old, his hometown suffered a major earthquake that shocked the world.
Countless lives have been devastated, countless families have been broken, mountains and rivers have lost their color, and the sun and the moon share the same sorrow.
At that time, his parents worked at the town clinic, and he came back from school to cook at home.
When the earthquake struck, he immediately ran away to survive, but was still trapped by the collapsed house.
At the critical moment, Feng Qian heard his cry for help when she ran over in a hurry, and pulled him out with all her strength, and the two of them escaped together.
Unfortunately, bigger earthquakes followed one after another.
When the whole house collapsed completely, Feng Qian did not hesitate to protect him under her body.
The two were buried for two days and one night before they were finally rescued.
His injuries were serious but not life-threatening.
But Feng Qian was not so lucky.
She protected Zhuo Yilin, but her head was severely hit by a cement brick, and her lumbar spine was almost completely destroyed.
The doctors tried their best to save her, but she never regained consciousness.
Diffuse damage to the left side of her brain left her in a vegetative state.
But the miracle is that after more than ten years, she is still "alive". Apart from not waking up and being unable to move, she looks extremely normal and even looks younger than her peers.
Medically, there have been cases of people in a vegetative state waking up after being comatose for 20 years, so Feng Qian's situation also gives many people hope.
I always feel that if she can persist for so many years, she will probably wake up one day in the future.
Zhuo Yilin habitually checked Feng Qian's various monitoring data over the past week, then shook her hands, legs, and feet to feel them, then turned back and looked at the nurse with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for taking care of Qian Qian."
Very good."
The nurse smiled and said, "This is what I should do."
Although caring for people in a vegetative state is hard work, the employer is generous and the salary is high.
And compared with those old people with weird tempers and suspicious personalities, taking care of such a quiet "rag doll" seems easier.
Therefore, this nurse has been doing her best to take care of patients in strict accordance with Zhuo Yilin's requirements. In the blink of an eye, she has been doing this for five or six years.
On the sofa chair nearby, Feng Ru put on her prosthetic leg and stood up: "Brother Yi Lin, I have an appointment with a friend today, so I have to leave first."
"good."
The earthquake not only took away Zhuo Yilin's parents, relatives and elders, but also took away the backbone of the Feng family.
Feng's mother survived, but Feng Qian lost a leg.
The mother and daughter depended on each other for life and spent more than ten years healing their wounds.
But five years ago, Feng's mother died of illness, so now the two sisters are the only ones left.
Feng Ru graduated from a junior college last year and is now a kindergarten teacher, able to support herself.
The cost of caring for Feng Qian was initially borne by Zhuo Yueluan. Later, Zhuo Yilin made money on his own and no longer asked his father to pay.
The engagement with Feng Qian was made five years ago.
At that time, Feng's mother was terminally ill, and her two daughters were the most worrying thing when she was dying.
In order to let Feng's mother die in peace, he swore in front of the old man's hospital bed, promising that if Feng Qian wakes up one day, no matter how far she recovers, he will marry Feng Qian and take care of her for the rest of her life.
Even if Feng Qian never wakes up, he will always take care of the sisters.
Feng's mother believed in his character and passed away happily.
And he has kept his promise over the years.
I would come to the nursing home every weekend to accompany Feng Qian, give her acupuncture, massage, and chat with her - all the time.
After Feng Ru went out, the nurse also went to work.
Zhuo Yilin took out a leather bag and slowly unfolded it. There were large and small silver needles lined up inside.
He studied medicine to commemorate his parents, who were both doctors, but traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture were not his specialty.
Knowing that traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage were beneficial to Feng Qian's condition, he studied it carefully for several years, and even went to study under the teacher. In the past two years, he has been able to give Feng Qian acupuncture very skillfully.
The girl on the hospital bed has delicate features, and because she has not seen the sun for a long time, her skin is so fair that it is almost transparent.
In order to facilitate care, her hair is also shaved very short, so that her facial features are more prominent.
The clothes she wears are just two pieces of cloth, upper and lower, tied with laces on the sides for easy changing.
Zhuo Yilin placed the silver needle and opened the lace on the girl's side. He lifted up the fabric as much as he needed to expose any part of his body.
Although the other party is a mature girl, in his eyes, she is just a patient.
No matter where the silver needle landed, his eyes were focused and his heart was still.
After a while, silver needles were inserted into all the parts that needed to be inserted. He took advantage of the time when the needles stopped to drag the chair over and sit down next to it.
"Qianqian, I came today...actually I have something to tell you."
"Back then, I promised my aunt that I would take care of you sisters for the rest of my life, and I will definitely do it."
"It's just that... I may have to break some of my promises."
"I...I have a girl I like."
"She is cheerful, outgoing, warm-hearted, carefree, and a little out of character at times... I used to think that this kind of girl and I were completely different worlds... But later I discovered that it was precisely because of these differences that I became more and more
Attracted to her."
"I remember the promise I made to my aunt. Although you have been in a coma, I never thought about having anything to do with other girls. In my heart, even if you don't wake up for the rest of your life, I will be responsible for you to the end."
"I thought I could always keep this promise. So, I rejected her and hurt her."
"But now, when I watch her fall into the arms of others, I realize...I find that I am not that calm, open-minded and calm."
"Qianqian, I'm sorry. If you can't wake up all the time, please forgive me for breaking my promise. I can't let her go. I want to formally pursue her..."

Fisher went home for the weekend.
But she soon regretted it.
"Daughter, look at these, they are really handsome! There will definitely be someone you like." Fei's mother took a stack of photos and earnestly advised her daughter to choose carefully.
Fei Xue was very annoyed, "Mom! Do you think that when you are looking for a boyfriend, you are choosing a concubine from the emperor's harem? I am a girl, can you be more careful?"
"Why be careful! I have heard what your brother said, but you still miss Dr. Zhuo! Yes, I know that he is really well-qualified, but he looks down on you. What can I do?"
Fei Xuexin said, now he likes your daughter, it is your daughter who doesn't want him.
"Okay, Mom, I came back this time to tell you that your precious daughter, the daughter of the Fei family, finally has an owner! Just put your heart back in your belly and stop worrying about my life-long event.
What a moth."
When Fisher came back, he really wanted to tell his family about it in person, but before he could speak, his mother pulled him into choosing a prince-in-law.
Fei's mother was stunned for a second, looked at her daughter, and then said, "Really or not? You have a boyfriend? Who is it?"
"I won't tell you who it is, but it is true."
Her circle of friends was set up to be "invisible" to her parents and relatives - so her family didn't know about the official announcement of her relationship that night.
However, the circle is so big, it is estimated that it will reach the ears of mother in a few days.
"I think you're lying again."
"I'm lying to you, you're a bastard."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fei's mother stretched out her hand to pinch her daughter, "Damn girl, can you speak properly! If you are a bastard, then who are your mother and father!"
Fisher laughed loudly and got up and ran away, "So I won't let you be an old bastard!"
The landline phone rang in the living room, and Fei's mother was too lazy to pay attention to her daughter and went to answer the phone with a curse.
A few minutes later, she got up and shouted upstairs: "Xiaoxue, come down and go to your uncle's house. Grandma is not feeling well."
"What happened to grandma?"
"Hey, isn't that what happens when people get older? Let's go over and have a look."
"Oh, just come!"
That night, grandma was admitted to the hospital again.
The old man had fallen down before. Although the operation was successful, his physical condition was still deteriorating.
There are many hospitals in Jiangcheng, but there are only a few good ones.
By some strange coincidence, grandma happened to be staying in the hospital where Zhuo Yilin worked.
Fisher felt a little indescribable in his heart. He walked in the hospital like a thief, always worried that Zhuo Yilin would happen to meet him somewhere.
It’s okay to encounter it, it’s nothing, but I’m afraid that people will misunderstand it - thinking about choosing this one despite choosing from so many hospitals, is it possible that I’m hoping for something on purpose...
If so, that would be embarrassing.
Fei's mother wanted to take care of the old lady in the hospital and asked her daughter to go back and get some daily necessities for the hospital.
Fisher, carrying both large and small bags, got off the car and entered the inpatient unit as if he were fleeing.
When I pressed the elevator button, I didn't want to put my things down, so I struggled to lift my travel bag.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared next to him, and then the weight in his hand became lighter.
"Why are you in the hospital?" Zhuo Yilin looked at the infatuated girl in front of him and asked in surprise.
Fisher was so startled that his heartbeat skipped half a beat. When he turned around and saw him, he didn't know what expression to use to face him.
I am really afraid of what will happen...
If I had known better, I should have tried hard to persuade my uncle to go to another hospital.
"My...grandma is in the hospital." She was silent for a few seconds. Seeing the man staring at her, she had no choice but to reply.
Zhuo Yilin frowned slightly, "Is it a recurrence of an old injury?"
"I can't tell, there are also some other problems. Anyway, as I get older, it is inevitable..."
When the elevator came, Zhuo Yilin carried her things and blocked the door with her hands to let her go first.
Fisher walked in and stood at the very back, trying to keep a distance from him.
But how could Zhuo Yilin allow him to follow her steps and face her face to face?
The hospital elevator was almost always overcrowded, and soon, he was so crowded that he was almost pressed against the girl's body.
Fisher glared at him, "What are you doing?"
The man looked innocent and said, "It was the people behind who squeezed me."
"..."
Grandma was hospitalized in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. When she arrived on the floor, it was so packed with people that Fisher couldn't get out.
Zhuo Yilin struggled to put several packages into one hand, leaving the other hand free. He grabbed her arm without any explanation and pulled her out.
But as soon as he got out of the elevator, Fisher immediately broke away from his grip.
"Don't be like this, I have a boyfriend, don't trap me into injustice."
Zhuo Yilin looked at her cold and awkward face, which looked warm and lonely. He didn't say anything, but just asked: "Where is grandma's ward?"
