Mr. Lu said he misses you very much

Chapter 13

Since he was discharged from the hospital that day, Ji Xiuran stayed at home and never went out. He has always been able to live at home, but he left half of his work and recuperated at home. No matter what, he was a little worried.Fortunately, Lu Jingyao kept his promise and sent him all the materials the next day so that he would not be so boring at home.

There was light rain falling outside the window, a warm yellow desk lamp was on on the table, Ji Xiuran focused on looking at the documents under his hand, and went through all the details again.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Ji Xiuran raised his head, stood up to open the door, and saw a strange man standing outside the door, he was looking at him, and asked politely: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ji?"

Ji Xiuran was taken aback, nodded, and asked, "Who are you? Do you need me?"

Then, he saw the man picking up a big bag in his hand, and said with a smile to him: "I am the head chef of the Royal Hotel, this is a tonic soup ordered by a gentleman surnamed Lu, and he asked us to eat it every day during this week. Make it now and send it to you. We also understand your physical condition and have formulated seven different tonic soups for seven days. You can rest assured that the ingredients are fresh, so please rest assured to taste."

what?

Ji Xiuran's eyebrows moved imperceptibly, after a while, he took the bag and said softly, "Thank you."

The door was closed, and Ji Xiuran put down the bag on the dining table. Inside the bag was a delicate insulated box. Not a single cent was spilled from the outside of the box. When he opened the lid, he smelled a strong fragrance first, which made him already a little hungry. cried out impatiently.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table in the room rang, and Ji Xiuran answered the phone: "Hello?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Lu Jingyao's smiling and gentle voice came: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Ready to eat." Ji Xiuran went back to the dining table and sat down, looked down at the insulated box in front of him, and said, "Someone just sent me a takeaway, and it was said that a Mr. Lu asked him to deliver it, is it you?" ?”

"It's me." Lu Jingyao admitted without hesitation, and the voice coming through the handset of the mobile phone sounded even more deep and magnetic: "How does it taste?"

Ji Xiuran scooped up a spoonful of soup and put it into his mouth. The aroma of the ingredients and ingredients exploded in his mouth. After flowing through the esophagus, his stomach was full of warmth. He took another sip before answering: "It's delicious."

"Just drink it well." Lu Jingyao seemed to be busy too, there was the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard on the other end of the phone, and after a while he continued: "By the way, Xiuran, I have an appointment with a very good doctor in the Department of Cardiology , when the trial is over, I'll take you there for a reexamination, okay?"

Ji Xiuran responded, with delicious soup in his mouth, and Lu Jingyao's gentle words in his ears, he narrowed his eyes contentedly, with a smile flowing in his eyes.After a long time, the two hung up the phone. Ji Xiuran reluctantly put down the phone, cleaned up the dining table, and went back to the room to continue reading the materials.

At the same time, Lu Jingyao flicked through the files with his fingers. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, but after the phone call just now, he was in a better mood to work overtime.

It's a pity that Ji Xiuran can't be by his side.

A few more hours passed in the blink of an eye, and when Lu Jingyao finished all his work, it was already eleven o'clock in the night. He raised his hand and rubbed the sore brows, leaned back on the back of the chair, and relaxed his tense shoulders.

I don't know if Xiuran is asleep or not.

Will he rest obediently?Are you still looking at the data?

Feeling really worried, Lu Jingyao thought for a moment, picked up his phone, clicked on WeChat, and made a voice call.Wonderful music sounded in the quiet office, and he waited with bated breath.

A few seconds later, the voice was connected, and Ji Xiuran's soft and soft, soft and sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone, obviously he had fallen asleep and was woken up again: "Hey... what's wrong?"

Hearing this voice, Lu Jingyao felt relieved, and said softly, "It's okay, let's see if you're asleep. Since you're asleep, I won't bother you. Good night."

After hanging up the phone, he picked up his suit jacket and went downstairs to go home.Ji Xiuran, who was awakened by him, turned over on the bed, and buried himself in the soft quilt in a daze, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

A good night's sleep.

A few days later, it was finally the day of the court session. Ji Xiuran got up early in the morning. He had already prepared everything he needed the night before, and checked carefully just now to see if there was anything missing. Then he changed into his suit and prepared to go downstairs.

Just as he walked out of the gate and was about to enter the elevator, the phone in Ji Xiuran's hand rang. He looked down and saw that the caller ID was Lu Jingyao.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiuran answered the phone.

Lu Jingyao smiled and replied, "I'm downstairs at your house."

Ji Xiuran was startled when he heard this.

"Today is the court day. I'll pick you up and we'll go there together." Lu Jingyao said again.

"Okay, I'll be down right away." After a long time, Ji Xiuran stepped into the elevator, staring at the LCD screen indicating the floor, thinking in his heart to go faster, faster.

Striding out of the unit building, Ji Xiuran saw a familiar car. He got in the car and sat down. He looked up to meet Lu Jingyao's gentle gaze. The two smiled at each other, then the car started and drove out of the community.

The trial finally started. As the plaintiff, Lu Jingyao sat in the plaintiff's seat with Ji Xiuran.The lawyer hired by the other party's company was not incompetent, and with just a few words, he led the matter in the wrong direction. However, when Ji Xiuran spoke, Lu Jingyao was shocked.

In his impression, Ji Xiuran is that good student who likes to read and doesn't like to talk, and has always been quiet, even now, but he is uncharacteristically in court, and his sharp mouth makes the opposing lawyer almost unable to answer several times , the usual gentle temperament turned sharp at this moment, his eyes were as bright as morning stars, and his confidence was soaring.

The judge did not announce the verdict in court, but according to Ji Xiuran's experience, the other company is doomed to lose, but the final amount of compensation depends on the verdict.Finally, a major event was accomplished, and when he walked out of the court, Ji Xiuran stretched his waist, the corners of his lips curled up against the sun, and his brows were beaming with joy.

Lu Jingyao walked behind him, and couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, and praised: "Xiu Ran, well done."

The two got into the car together. Lu Jingyao originally planned to go back to the company, but after a second thought, he drove the car to the hospital and said, "After all, you have nothing to do in the afternoon, so go for a re-examination right now."

When I arrived at the hospital, I saw the doctor Lu Jingyao had arranged for, and the doctor carefully checked Ji Xiuran's physical condition, and said, "It looks like he's all right now, but we still need to pay attention to rest and diet on weekdays."

"Okay, thank you doctor." Ji Xiuran and Lu Jingyao came out of the hospital, it was still early, they planned to take a walk along the street, but Lu Jingyao had to leave due to something, so Ji Xiuran went home alone, he thought for a while, I went to the garage to pick up the car and drove to the nursing home in the suburbs.

The quiet ward as always, the beeping sound of the instruments that have not changed for several years, it seems that only these faint sounds exist, which can prove that the life of the parents has continued and they have not left him.

After the doctor's examination, Ji Xiuran sat beside his mother's bed, stretched out his hand to hold her cold palm, and murmured to them what happened recently, while he was lying on the hospital bed, a hard lump suddenly hit his chest. He bowed his head, it was a jade necklace given to him by Lu Jingyao.

Ji Xiuran was silent, and many things flooded into his mind in an instant, all about Lu Jingyao.All the memories are the details of the two of them getting along, the things Lu Jingyao did for him, the care he showed for him, and so on.

But that was just to take care of a friend, Ji Xiuran thought sadly.

Including bringing him soup and helping him make an appointment for a doctor's reexamination, all because Lu Jingyao regarded him as a good friend, not a partner who could stay together for life.Maybe he will never be able to express this kind of intention, and can only maintain this kind of good friend relationship.

but……

Ji Xiuran closed his eyes, but he greedily wanted to get more, he didn't want to just maintain this ordinary relationship, even if Lu Jingyao just gave him a little response, it was enough for him to be happy.

But just this little wish seems like a luxury.

Ji Xiuran was lying on the side of the bed, rubbing the jade on his chest with his right hand, his eyes slightly lost.Since he discovered that his feelings were different from ordinary people, he did not dare to tell his parents, for fear that they would disappoint him, but now he has no one to confide in except them.

After a long time, Ji Xiuran said softly: "Mom and Dad, I want to tell you a secret, you will know it later, can you help me keep it well?"

Ji Xiuran spoke in a low voice, knowing that the two people on the hospital bed couldn't hear him and would not give him any response, but after speaking out, the depression buried in his heart seemed to dissipate and he felt better.

"I don't want to be just his friend, but I also don't want to lose him as a friend." Accompanied by the sound of the instrument, Ji Xiuran sighed, "Even if I'm just a friend, I hope I'm not the ordinary one in his heart, but this It seems very difficult. If it were you, what would you like me to do?"

As night fell, the ward became more and more quiet, Ji Xiuran waited for a while, his heart sank slowly, he forced a smile, tucked the corner of the quilt, got up and said: "The next time you come, please tell me the answer. Then I'll go first, bye, Mom and Dad."

The nursing home receded farther and farther in the rearview mirror until it could no longer be seen.Ji Xiuran drove home and went upstairs exhaustedly. Just as he got out of the elevator, the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, and he opened WeChat.

Lu Jingyao: Xiuran, the temperature will drop tomorrow, put on more clothes, don't catch a cold, go to bed early, good night.

In just a few tens, but with endless care and consideration, Ji Xiuran can fully imagine Lu Jingyao's tone and expression when he said these words, and the caring eyes, as if someone was standing in front of him right now.

This is the tenderness Lu Jingyao gave him...

In an instant, all the depression and discomfort in his heart disappeared, Ji Xiuran clenched the phone tightly, his lips were pursed into a line, and his gloomy heart was suddenly filled with motivation.

He has decided, even if he only likes it unilaterally, he will not give up easily!
