proud of love
Chapter 1 saw Xi Jinhe, and the two sat face to face, looking at each other indiscriminately.
The reason of □□, but failed to survive the difficulty of 81 to achieve a positive result, what other reasons this time, I still want to know. "Xi Tan seemed to be engrossed in looking at the screen. The [-]-inch screen made people's micro-expressions deliberately magnified, and Jiang Huai's stunning and beautiful face was not spared, and he looked a little lost under the camera.
"There is no other reason."
Hearing what he said, Xi Tan raised his hand and took the remote control to turn off the screen: "Son, I just wonder how many times you will use this excuse to prevaricate me."
"So what? Aren't you the same?"
Xi Tan turned a deaf ear to his rebuttal, "Uncle Fei said that when you brought people back, I didn't quite believe it. I rushed back from Switzerland, and people tuned out a lot of things overnight. What's interesting is that after watching this video for the first time, I thought it was the same person you brought back this time."
Xi Jinhe only said four words coldly: "How is it possible."
"I think so too." Xi Tan's face did not match his age of over fifty, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were still menacing.
"That's because I'm getting old, and I've started to feel dizzy and have hallucinations."
"If even my father said such things, it would be ridiculous."
"I just think it's more humorous." Xi Tan shrugged, his son didn't understand his joke, and he didn't care: "It stands to reason that you should know about the old love before I do, but now you have a new love It is only natural that he has no time to take care of it, so it is inconvenient to invite him to this long-lost family banquet." Xi Tan ignored Xi Jinhe's rapidly changed expression, and called Uncle Fei's name in the hall.
Xi Jinhe froze in place, he pursed his lips and his pupils shrank slightly, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you say?"
Chapter 22
22.
Jiang Huai still couldn't go back to sleep with peace of mind after being anxious and restless, and what's more, the backache all over his body made him unable to fall asleep at all.Wrapped in the towel that Xi Jinhe casually put on the back of the chair, he reluctantly got up and moved to the door of the bathroom to take a shower, but he overestimated his ability and fell unexpectedly not far from the door of the bathroom, and crawled completely I can't get up.
Jiang Huai thought angrily, who can blame this?
The sticky feeling all over his body made him unbearable. The room in Xi's house was well soundproofed, and no one came to rescue him even if he yelled out his throat.He didn't expect such a situation where every day should not be called and the ground was not working, so he desperately reached for the mobile phone next to the bed to call Xi Jinhe, hoping that he could come up and save his life.
The phone went through, but no one answered on the other end.Jiang Huai sent two urgent text messages, but Xi Jinhe didn't reply, and if he called again, the phone would be turned off.
What's happening here?
Jiang Huai frowned and thought, could it be that the old and the young of the Xi family were not very happy when they met each other, and they were fighting each other hysterically?He knew that Xi Jinhe was a good man, but what he was worried about was that his father had too many bodyguards, what should Xi Jinhe do if he suffered a disadvantage?He thought of Xi Jinhe's low and sad voice when he told him about the situation at home, as if he was overprotective, he still leaned on the wall and barely stood up, walked into the bathroom tremblingly, washed it casually, and then took the mat from the cloakroom Jinhe changed his clothes and went out.
The whole process was extremely difficult. The pain from one end spread densely to the whole body. Jiang Huai didn't even bother to wipe the fine cold sweat on his forehead, and rushed downstairs as soon as he opened the door.
Uncle Fei, the chief butler of the Xi family, had obviously been waiting at the door for a long time, and stopped him with his hand, "Master Jiang, the master is waiting for you below."
Jiang Huai stared at the suit with no pleats in front of him, and swallowed hard - he had never seen his parents in his life, especially on the second day with Xi Jinhe.
Speaking of parents, he couldn't help thinking of his meticulous grandfather Shao Qingming.Now he moved to a holiday villa to recuperate, and he didn't care about worldly affairs. If he found out what he was like now, he might break his leg.
Jiang Huai was still hesitating, but Uncle Fei had already opened the elevator door for him.
"Uncle Fei, is Xi Jinhe here?"
"Master Xi has gone out."
"Ah?" Jiang Huai was stunned, he didn't expect to end up in a situation where he was fighting alone: "Did he and that...uncle quarrel?"
No wonder the phone doesn't answer.
The elevator door slowly opened, and Uncle Fei stood aside and smiled at him with a standard hospitality smile: "We are not qualified to listen to or discuss matters about the master. I'm afraid you have to ask the master yourself about these things."
Jiang Huai was made even more terrified by his attitude: "Uncle Fei, it's the 21st century, everyone is equal..." Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a burst of noise and the sound of pressing the shutter in the hall , and then he heard his own voice in the noise—"...I apologize to my friends who have always supported me and loved me, and I hope you can support my decision..."
——"Then I would like to ask Mr. Jianghuai, is your behavior of disbanding Downton suddenly in just two years after winning the Pulitzer Prize? related?"
——"Mr. Jiang Huai, some people say that you gave up photography because you were disappointed with domestic commercial photography. How do you respond to this?"
……
"I made this decision for my lover. Maybe many people will laugh at my stupid behavior, but I still think that the time spent with him is more important than holding a camera... "
Jiang Huai's pupils shrank slightly, and he paused in place.Isn't this... what he said at the press conference when he disbanded Downton?
"Master Jiang, please." Uncle Fei bent slightly towards him, and stopped moving forward.Jiang Huai saw that in front of him was the hall where he and Xi Jinhe first arrived yesterday. It was quiet at this time, and Uncle Fei behind him also retreated quietly. , stretched out his hand towards Jiang Huai very naturally, "Photographer Jiang, I have admired his name for a long time."
This "big name" can't afford it, and the forced smile in the video is also very dazzling.Jiang Huai was terrified, and stretched out his hand to shake it back: "I don't dare to be...you can just call me Jiang Huai."
"Sit down." Xi Tan gestured to him, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Huai himself, Jiang Huai took a slight sniff, and the fragrance slowly lingered up, actually dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind and making people feel emotional calm.
Shao Qingming is also a tea lover, Jiang Huai used to be curious about the difference, but he really has no talent.As soon as he picked up the small and warm porcelain cup, Xi Tan praised him again, "Heroes are born in youth! You are in the period of youth and vitality, but at the moment of fame, you choose to quit the circle and settle down to study, I'm afraid At your age, the child will not be so enlightened again."
Jiang Huai smiled wryly: "You are so ridiculous, I don't know if I should say that I have been doing nothing these years and doing some trivial things. After the press conference, I didn't even hold a camera, and I am not worthy of the title of 'photographer' ..."
Xi Tan also raised his cup and took a sip of his tea, and said without hesitation: "So, if I understand correctly, you have been with him since then?"
"Yes."
"Your grandfather is Shao Qingming, right? I've met your mother too... It's interesting to say that the two father and daughter look like [-]% to [-]% of each other. They are both good officials, but you are not at all like them."
"After all, my mother follows my grandfather's surname, and my surname is Jiang."
Xi Tan smiled softly, as if he had no intention of greeting him: "How is Mr. Ye?"
It is said that every businessman is a master at setting up tricks, and they are calm and calm at every step, not to mention hundreds of tricks, once a trap is caught, it will be lost forever.Among the people Jiang Huai knew, Ye Li was the only one whose age and status could be called by someone like Xi Tan with the surname Ye.
He knew this long ago, so what about Xi Jinhe?Jiang Huai didn't dare to think any further.
"I heard that when Ye Lao was young, he was also one of the aspiring young people that the Shao family praised. He tutored your photography since childhood, so it must be..."
"Uncle must know... where Xi Jinhe has gone." Jiang Huai answered with a smile, "In fact, he asked me to come back later, but the timing is not so coincidental. I just have some urgent matters to rush to explain. It's not very polite. But I suddenly couldn't get in touch with him, I wonder if you..."
"If you are in a hurry to tie him down, it's better to give up as soon as possible. Besides, there is nothing he can't get that he wants, and the one who delivers it to his door should be one step ahead of everyone."
Jiang Huai frowned and hesitated for a moment: "Uncle, what are you talking about? I just want to ask your people to send me a car to take me back to the apartment. I haven't driven for a long time, and my driving skills are not good. I'm afraid of leaving." You have to get lost. As for what Xi Jinhe is thinking about, since you don't interfere, I am not qualified to do so."
Xi Tan looked at him, and suddenly smiled, as if the previous hypocrisy could be dismantled, and finally noticed something different from the conversation: "His vision is good, you are really different."
Jiang Huai only wanted to escape.
He said goodbye quickly, and dragged his tired body into the car, feeling as if his whole body was being run over inch by inch, crushed into the dust.He originally planned to stand beside Xi Jinhe and let his horse deal with the two "special" wives, but he didn't expect that just Xi Tan's appearance would beat him to pieces and make him miserable.
Xi Jinhe didn't even drive the ostentatious Bentley. Xi Tan said that he left in such a hurry because he couldn't get what he asked for.
The stars and wind of last night disappeared behind the sun, Jiang Huai squeezed the mobile phone, carefully input one number after another slowly, dialed, but the other end was still turned off.How incredible that Xi Jinhe abandoned him like this.
——"Then when did you fall in love with me?"
——"Wait until I like you enough."
He gently put the phone back into his pocket, comforting himself: Jiang Huai, Xi Jinhe is still very good to you, he just doesn't like you that much.
Forget it.
Jiang Huai didn't really want to go back to Linhu Villa, and found that he had left his wallet and key card at Xi's house, so he asked the driver to divert to the city hospital.
He had failed to borrow money from Xi Jinhe earlier, and his account balance was gradually running out. Jiang Huai wanted to see Ling Ran and asked if there was any small work to earn some pocket money, but he heard a loud argument coming from the corridor. , as if someone lost his temper, and the whole plate fell to the ground, making a harsh sound.
Several little nurses surrounded Ling Ran's door, all worried.Jiang Huai walked up to him and just asked "what's the matter", when he saw Zhibai, the gold medal editor of "Shanhe Daily", slamming the door with a black face, without even looking at him, he walked quickly, and disappeared at the end of the corridor after a while .
He stretched out his hand to open the door, and the room was in a mess. The half-crippled Ling Ran was paralyzed on the bed panting, both eyes were red, and he would cry almost the next moment: "Why are you back again?! I said I don't want to see you! !"
Jiang Huai had never seen him like this, and he bent down with difficulty to pick up the plastic fruit plate on the ground: "Who are you angry with? You are so angry, like a child."
Ling Ran turned around and saw that it was him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, it's you."
Jiang Huai pretended to be picking up things, deliberately not looking at the grievance of him wiping his eyes with his sleeves: "Have you gotten better recently? Your brother and I are at the end of our ropes. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ling Ran let out a cry, and asked him worriedly: "Brother, you and President Xi finally broke up?"
"...I thank you, don't worry about my emotional problems all the time?" Jiang Huai felt better when he thought about it like this, and thought of teasing him: "I heard you crackling here from afar, why, Are you also emotionally broken?"
Obviously everyone thought it was a half-joke, but Ling Ran smiled at him desolately: "He and I... can't tell who is more greedy than the other."
Chapter 23
23.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Huai felt more and more overwhelmed by the cold editor-in-chief who had only met him a few times. He asked, "Then what were you arguing about just now?"
Ling Ran frowned: "He said that I always make my own decisions and don't listen to the orders of my superiors. I am not suitable to be a journalist at all. Then he said that I should take a vacation to reflect on myself. Of course I don't agree. When I get emotional, I will quarrel. It's over."
"You don't like to look at the face of your superiors...but these words do sound familiar." Jiang Huai sighed softly: "Xi Jinhe said that to me before. He said that everything I did was inconsistent. Things of the times, if you can't cater to the public, you will kill yourself sooner or later."
Ling Ran smiled: "There is nothing wrong with President Xi's words. As a cultural person, I always feel that your documentary style is too old-fashioned. It's like the last century. How can anyone like it?"
"What are you talking about, which side are you on?" Jiang Huai gave him a white look, "Speaking of business, please help."
"Have you really decided to come back?"
"Is it forced by life?"
"What, where's President Xi?" Ling Ran didn't believe it at all.
Jiang Huai had no choice but to raise his mobile phone at him: "I can't find anyone, I didn't bring my wallet out, and the key card is in it, I'm homeless now, I can only rely on you."
"Okay, okay!" Ling Ran turned his head and thought for a while: "If you don't mind, you can live in my house, and I will give you the key. Also, there is a lack of people to follow up on the incident at the dock. If you want to go, I will go with that Just say it."
Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I will treat you to dinner after you leave the hospital."
"No, I'm afraid I'll offend you. You don't want to choose a small newspaper like ours for such a big "Time", I don't know what you are planning." Ling Ran who had just escaped from the sidelines Picking out a few oranges for Jiang Huai, his face was full of curiosity: "I was surprised when you took me there last time, why does Mr. Xi seem to know all of you very well?"
"The people who know me well are people from before Downton. They have witnessed my long pursuit of my husband. Can they not know well... There are many reasons for not going, mainly because of the previous case. If I go back again, no matter what Staying in Downton or "Times" is difficult for Xi Jinhe to explain."
It was only after hearing what he said that Ling Ran remembered what happened to Ji Hengtang: "I heard that he is very popular recently..."
Jiang Huai laughed: "Really? He told me the other day, I still don't quite believe it..."
"In this group of newcomers, although his appearance is not the most outstanding, he is good at modeling and has his own unique style. Now he has tens of thousands of followers on Weibo."
"Won't "Time" have a newcomer like this every year?"
"Brother, don't you like him?"
"That's his own way." Jiang Huai broke off the orange and put it in his mouth to chew, but he spoke unambiguously: "Maybe he won't let us down."
Ling Ran nodded, peeled an orange and ate it, Jianghuai turned on the TV, which happened to be the story behind the "Time" model contest co-operated by Changfeng Society and the TV station.Jiang Huai simply sat next to Ling Ran, and began to have a match with him to wipe out all the surviving fruits.
It's time to eat, and a little nurse who was watching at the door came in with the patient's meal, and replaced Ling Ran with a plate of fresh fruit, "This was sent by Mr. Cheng, and he asked us to inform you that the notice has come down." , don't think about getting out of the hospital any more..."
"I..." Ling Ran wanted to get mad again, but when he saw Jiang Huai beside him, he still endured it: "Tell him that I know! Also! I really, really, really don't want to see him again! Tell him not to come Already!"
The little nurse's face was full of grievances, Jiang Huai couldn't bear it, and said to Ling Ran: "Why are you losing your temper with the little girl? She didn't ask you to provoke you."
Ling Ran used all his rebelliousness in his mouth, and even exaggerated when he was working, daring to say anything earth-shattering.When you are not working, you are like a child. There is no logic to follow. No matter who you are, as long as you are a little stronger than him, he will love you. If he loves you, he will love you.Of course, Cheng Zhibai was an exception, he was on his way to hate him all the time.
After being scolded by Jiang Huai in an "elderly" tone, Ling Ran apologized obediently and pitifully.This person pretended to be decent, but the little nurse blushed, covered her mouth and said it was okay, and hurriedly left the ward.
Jiang Huai was used to his contrast. He felt that he might have eaten too much fruit, and he felt a little hungry after watching Ling Ran after eating, so he got up and left.
Ling Ran handed over her key, and wrote down the floor room number to him, "It's been a long time since I took care of it, it might be a bit messy."
Jiang Huai then shook his head, said it was okay, turned around and went out: "Have a good rest."
"Hey brother!" The door was half closed, Ling Ran suddenly called out to him: "You have been absent-minded all morning, be careful when crossing the road."
Jiang Huai made him look like he didn't know what he was talking about, closed the door lightly and walked out of the hospital slowly.
The afternoon sun was quite harsh.Jiang Huai stood on the sidewalk for less than 2 minutes and felt that his eyes were filled with white light. He quickened his pace and walked under the shade of a tree. After a while, he gradually recovered his vision.
The phone in his hand was turned on and muted, but Xi Jinhe didn't look for him.
Jiang Huai remembered that this kind of situation had happened before, but not too many, but it was President Xi's basic principle to ask Hongli to call back the Linhu villa, and he was not afraid of losing it anyway.Jiang Huai thinks that Xi Jinhe probably knows his weakness. He has searched everywhere for these years, and he dare not even lose his temper.
He turned on the screen and entered Xi Jinhe's number again, but the other end was still turned off. He swiped across the address book, and finally dialed Hongli's number.
Hongli answered quickly: "Photographer Jiang."
Jiang Huai didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he opened his mouth to say something beautiful to prove that he didn't care so much, and finally asked: "Do you know where President Xi is?"
But Hongli's other end became quiet, he said: "I'll ask the president for instructions, please wait a moment." The other end of the phone stopped again, and after a while, he said: "The president said he has something important, you Just wait for him in the room first, if you have something to tell the housekeeper, Uncle Fei, there is no need to meet the master face to face."
Jiang Huai smiled wryly, it was really late.Holding Ling Ran's key, he asked Hongli to tell him: "I don't think I need to wait for him anymore. If he goes back, please take my wallet..." He paused, "Forget it, it's okay, you let him Get busy."
Hongli questioned on the other end, but Jiang Huai hung up the phone.
Maybe he doesn't have such qualifications, maybe Xi Jinhe, who has finally improved his attitude towards him, will be furious again, but he just has some emotions.
He thought that if Xi Jinhe used this matter to quarrel with him, he would follow Ling Ran's example and retort openly—"What's wrong? After all these years, I still can't get emotional?!"
Tut tut, how flamboyant.
Ling Ran's residence is more than ten minutes' drive away from the hospital. Jianghuai is penniless, so he can only check the map and walk there.
The sun became more and more like a tiger and a beast, Jiang Huai tried his best to walk under the shade of the trees, but his brain was still swollen from the stimulation.
He hesitated for a while at the green light, before his eyes turned to a red light.He hurriedly turned back, but caught a glimpse of a familiar car gliding not far away.It was the library on a rainy day, the one that Hongli often drove.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huai quickened his pace to catch up. The road just caught up with the red light, and the black Porsche stopped in the river of cars.Even though there was a strong light reflection, he could still easily tell that the person in the driver's seat was Hongli, while Xi Jinhe was in the back seat, and there was another person sitting beside him, although most of it was covered by him, it was still eye-catching and dazzling .
Jiang Huai suddenly turned around.
He covered his eyes with his hands, carefully judging the information behind him.He heard the sound of car horns one after another, and the traffic behind him slowly started and stopped.A group of tourist groups crossing the road cheered and crowded towards him. He fell into the crowd and was quickly abandoned.
It turned out to be the case.
Chapter 24
24.
It was obviously a journey of four to ten minutes at most, but Jiang Huai walked for an hour to arrive. In the hot summer sun, half of his shirt was almost soaked in cold sweat.
The pain on his body was infinitely magnified at this moment, he held the key in his trembling hand and opened the door of Ling Ran's house, and managed to identify the direction of the sofa for a while in the dimly lit and messy living room, he didn't even bother to scan it The dust just collapsed on it.
Those tiny floating objects penetrated into his nose and throat, Jiang Huai coughed violently, curled up in pain, and coughed almost out of strength.Because of some unspeakable injuries behind him, he could only lie on his side and pant for breath.
The mobile phone slid from the pocket to the ground along with the movement, and the screen suddenly turned on, with a clean time display and nothing else.
In the first half a year, JAC made many attempts.Get drunk non-stop, pack your luggage and sit in the airport terminal all day long.As night fell, he carried his things back and went back. The lakeside villa was so big that he would not leave any traces when he came and went.
He tried to forget Xi Jinhe, he had this idea from the beginning of pursuing him, and then he laughed at himself, even talking about love is so tiring.He used to think that if he waited slowly like this, he would always be able to wait until that day, but now he didn't dare to think that way.
Xi Tan said that Xi Jinhe [the person who is always on his mind] appeared in his life earlier than Jiang Huai and has never been forgotten.
Jiang Huai felt a little sad, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait.
Sad to the end, Jiang Huai stretched out his hand to turn off the phone, closed his eyes and fell asleep in anger.The quality of sleep in an unfamiliar environment is getting worse. In the dream, Jiang Shang still has that fatherly look, looking at him, saying such cruel words, and then abandoning him.
Jiang Huai scooped up a handful of water to disperse all these.He is a responsible photographer, even though he didn't sleep well that night, he still got up early the next morning to wash off the thick layer of exhaustion on his face inch by inch.
He let out a heavy sigh at the sink, and put all these thoughts behind him as he went out.He turned on the phone, but Xi Jinhe still didn't look for him.
Jiang Huai was in a daze for a while, and was slightly worried about the remaining battery.Fortunately, the young man in charge of contact over there took the phone from Ling Ran to contact him, his voice almost cheered, and asked him to rush to the hospital within an hour, and then told him the general process.
This program is not directly affiliated with "Shanhe Daily". It is just a column of the local station. It restores the progress of the case in the form of interviews, and does not touch the high-level people behind it and some well-known secrets. It is biased towards entertaining the public.Ling Ran had a good relationship with the reporter, and because Jiang Huai's name was there, the other party agreed without even thinking about it, and the remuneration was considerable, so it didn't take too long.
After Jiang Huai listened carefully, he frowned and wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, the phone automatically shut down due to lack of battery, and after the screen went black, his funny face was reflected, which was a bit ironic.
Fortunately, that hospital is the same as Ling Ran, the First Affiliated Hospital of G City, a few 10 minutes away.Jiang Huai quickened his pace to look for Ling Ran first, and asked him to borrow a data cable and power bank, and then hurriedly returned it as soon as he turned it on, and only after he said sorry did he ask for the ward number.
It's just that the tone of the person on the other end of the phone was indifferent, and he was not excited about contacting him before. After he finished speaking, he said that there was another call coming in, and hung up on his own, leaving Jianghuai in a daze to the busy tone on the other end.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that his expression was not right, Ling Ran asked, "How about I go with you?"
"You can just lie here with peace of mind, what are you messing about, you have ordered a long vacation to recuperate. Don't worry, I will come to see you when I'm done." Jiang Huai took the key from his pocket and threw it to him: "Here, return it to you. Your house It's too messy and there's really nothing I can do about it."
"Reunited with the president after a broken mirror?"
"No, stop talking."
"Then what are you doing these days?"
Jiang Huai held back for a long time before saying: "...Can you really lend me some money?"
Ling Ran rolled her eyes at him: "Brother, what are you planning with President Xi?"
"Whatever I can draw, I will post it upside down." Jiang Huai hurried away, waved his hand to him, opened the door and went out to find the direction.The structure of the hospital is complicated, Jiang Huai asked the nurses and found out that the ward was two floors above Ling Ran's, and he didn't even need to take the elevator, Jiang Huai went up directly by taking the stairs.
"...Yes, why do you think there is such a person? He hung up on me just now! Really... I don't even look at where I am now..."
In the empty stairwell, a trace of echo can be amplified infinitely, and someone seems to be making a phone call in it.Although Jiang Huai's hearing became poor after his illness, the man's tone was a little heavier, but he could hear clearly without much effort.
After going around a few steps, Jiang Huai saw that the caller was a young man with a shaved head and a pattern.He was sucking a cigarette butt in his mouth, and he was rolling two of them under his feet.
Seeing Jiang Huai walking up slowly, the man glanced at him lightly.With just one glance, the man seemed to feel a little different, and he recognized him after another glance, "Ouch! Photographer Jiang! You're here!"
Jiang Huai frowned to avoid his smoke: "You are?"
"Oh, I'm Xiaojin who was in touch with you, the one who called you just now. You're so early, we haven't started so soon."
For some reason, Jiang Huai was always uncomfortable seeing his smiling face.He said it didn't matter, but couldn't help it: "Smoking is prohibited in the hospital, you should put out your cigarette."
The man's smile froze on his face, and he agreed with a hey, raised his hand and threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, and stomped hard a few times.Jiang Huai glanced at him, and heard a loud sneer when he stretched out his hand to push the door out.
Jiang Huai didn't pause, and went out sideways. He went to touch the machine and planned to meet the subject to be interviewed.
The reporter who has a good relationship with Ling Ran also arrived early, and was preparing in front of the ward door, writing something on the notebook with a pen. When he saw Jiang Huai coming, he looked up and smiled at him, then got up and shook hands to say hello and introduce himself .
Jiang Huai immediately relaxed a lot. The first impression between people is extremely important. Although he has seen people's hearts for a long time, Jiang Huai still uses this to support his gradually alienated personal connections. Journalists who have a good relationship with Ling Ran will never What a bad person, he thought, but something went wrong in the process of discussing the interview steps with that person.
It was Jiang Huai who stood up first. As a person who had been to the first scene and experienced the second explosion, he was a little angry, but more puzzled: "Isn't this a pre-determined idea for us to shoot? It is basically impossible to even restore the case!"
The other party was much calmer than him: "We are not a legal program, why should we focus on the case? You are not allowed to touch anything on it, how can the ratings increase if you don't accept tears?"
"It's not the same thing." Jiang Huai hasn't experienced such a thing for a long time, and he is unusually stubborn on this point: "Tears are one aspect, but we can't force people to say things that don't exist when we make news, they... ...they are heroes!"
"Isn't 'Hero' being fired all these years not enough? From those directions, what can they get? Subsidies? Donations from volunteers? All of these are because of the program effect. Without the program effect, they have nothing! Jiang Jiang The photographer..." The man was sitting in his original position, his eyes had changed, he squinted his eyes, raised them up slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, as if watching a joke: "Have you been away from this circle for too long? Even the basic Have you forgotten all the rules?"
Jiang Huai stood on the spot with his mouth half open, the hair on his forehead was a bit long, and Wei Wei covered half of his eyes in the shadows, he couldn't tell whether it was anger or shame in his eyes, he just breathed heavily, as if he couldn't breathe .
The assistant named Xiao Jin heard the sound and walked towards them, but turned towards the reporter with a posture of standing on a high ground: "Hey, what are you talking about? Photographer Jiang is an old-timer in the circle, like It’s good for him to condescend to come to our small family’s show, we’ll follow him, if something goes wrong, isn’t Senior Ling holding it?”
The reporter put down the things in his hands, and then got up.He squeezed his chin and glanced at Xiao Jin, and laughed again: "Senior Ling's backstage is no worse than our photographer Jiang's. These days, they are all capable people, and everyone counts according to their ability. This time I was wrong. Just do what Photographer Jiang thinks."
Xiao Jin smiled and said: "That's great!" Seeing Jiang Huai standing still, he was really itchy for that sullen face. He just raised his hand to pull him, but Jiang Huai brushed him away.
"I won't record it anymore, you can find someone else." Jiang Huai's face was already pale, but his steps were calm and steady, his eyes were still as sharp as a knife, and he cut away from the faces of the two people whose masks were still broken, turned and pushed away After entering the door of the stairwell, he fled back to the Lingran ward like a fish swimming.
Ling Ran also looked at him in surprise: "Why did you..."
"I'm quitting." Jiang Huai said expressionlessly, then turned around and left.He didn't want to stay there any longer to embarrass himself, and also felt ashamed, his eyes were blurred, as if covered by a layer of mist.
Jiang Huai thought in a daze, suddenly he couldn't see clearly what he thought: his home; the beliefs he held; the people he loved.
A day and a night passed, Xi Jinhe still didn't look for him, and he finally had nowhere to go.
Chapter 25

Cheng Zhibai was having a meeting in the club when he received the call from the hospital.The people in the club were also fortunate enough to witness the process of the legendary "Cheng Lengmian" from expressionless to almost violent, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
The meeting ended without a problem, and Cheng Zhibai rushed to the hospital to teach others a lesson.
Good job, just run to the scene without explaining, and now dare to openly fight in a public place like a hospital!If he hadn't had a personal relationship with the dean and asked someone to take care of him, the police would have come to the door right now!
Cheng Zhibai's teeth were itchy, and he opened the door of the room suddenly, only to see Ling Ran obediently lying on the bed, raising his hand to lift his clothes for the doctor to re-bandage the wound.
The replaced bloody gauze had already been thrown into the trash can. On the white abdomen, the flesh-red scars turned outwards, slightly undulating with Ling Ran's breathing.Cheng Zhibai felt distressed and annoyed, his eyes fell on the IV drip that the nurse was putting on, and his anger still persisted: "What's going on?!"
Ling Ran ignored him.Waiting patiently for the doctor's signal to put down the clothes, and then took the initiative to cover the quilt, and then spoke slowly, as if it had nothing to do with him: "That's the thing, what's there to talk about?"
Cheng Zhibai's face darkened again: "Ling Ran! Look at your attitude?! If you don't want to be a reporter anymore, I will help you!"
"Apart from threatening me with this, what else can you do?" Ling Ran didn't even look at him directly: "Yes, I'm sick in my head! See if they're upset and beat you up! What's wrong? Can't I just go crazy?! Aren’t you my boss? What an amazing thing?! Just take care of yourself, why should you take care of me!!”
Seeing that something was wrong, the doctors and nurses in the ward immediately stepped out of the room.This ward has been blacklisted since Ling Ran moved in. The doctors are afraid of Cheng Zhibai's relationship and dare not take care of them. They let the two quarrel loudly, and even smash things when they are very angry-all just look at it. not see.However, the nurses all liked Ling Ran very much, and at first they rushed in to persuade them, but one by one finally heard some clues in the quarrel, gave up the idea, and became CP parties watching at the door one after another.
"If you want to quarrel with me, you can do whatever you want." Cheng Zhibai gritted his teeth, and he clenched his fists: "If you are injured, don't mess around like before. If you don't want to see me, I will definitely not show up again after you recover and leave the hospital. in front of you."
Ling Ran smiled wryly: "Oh, you said the same thing back then, and then what? You exiled me for two years in a foreign country, did you care about how I lived? So what this time? Where else do you want me to go? Cheng Zhibai, Can't you just let me go? I'm really tired..."
There was no news for two years, and I could only see fragments of this person on the news. Watching him from marriage to divorce had nothing to do with him.
Ling Ran loved this person, and hated him to the extreme. She wished she could tear her skin apart and die together.
"No." Cheng Zhibai looked very tired: "You can do what you want, reporter or other, just
"There is no other reason."
Hearing what he said, Xi Tan raised his hand and took the remote control to turn off the screen: "Son, I just wonder how many times you will use this excuse to prevaricate me."
"So what? Aren't you the same?"
Xi Tan turned a deaf ear to his rebuttal, "Uncle Fei said that when you brought people back, I didn't quite believe it. I rushed back from Switzerland, and people tuned out a lot of things overnight. What's interesting is that after watching this video for the first time, I thought it was the same person you brought back this time."
Xi Jinhe only said four words coldly: "How is it possible."
"I think so too." Xi Tan's face did not match his age of over fifty, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were still menacing.
"That's because I'm getting old, and I've started to feel dizzy and have hallucinations."
"If even my father said such things, it would be ridiculous."
"I just think it's more humorous." Xi Tan shrugged, his son didn't understand his joke, and he didn't care: "It stands to reason that you should know about the old love before I do, but now you have a new love It is only natural that he has no time to take care of it, so it is inconvenient to invite him to this long-lost family banquet." Xi Tan ignored Xi Jinhe's rapidly changed expression, and called Uncle Fei's name in the hall.
Xi Jinhe froze in place, he pursed his lips and his pupils shrank slightly, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you say?"
Chapter 22
22.
Jiang Huai still couldn't go back to sleep with peace of mind after being anxious and restless, and what's more, the backache all over his body made him unable to fall asleep at all.Wrapped in the towel that Xi Jinhe casually put on the back of the chair, he reluctantly got up and moved to the door of the bathroom to take a shower, but he overestimated his ability and fell unexpectedly not far from the door of the bathroom, and crawled completely I can't get up.
Jiang Huai thought angrily, who can blame this?
The sticky feeling all over his body made him unbearable. The room in Xi's house was well soundproofed, and no one came to rescue him even if he yelled out his throat.He didn't expect such a situation where every day should not be called and the ground was not working, so he desperately reached for the mobile phone next to the bed to call Xi Jinhe, hoping that he could come up and save his life.
The phone went through, but no one answered on the other end.Jiang Huai sent two urgent text messages, but Xi Jinhe didn't reply, and if he called again, the phone would be turned off.
What's happening here?
Jiang Huai frowned and thought, could it be that the old and the young of the Xi family were not very happy when they met each other, and they were fighting each other hysterically?He knew that Xi Jinhe was a good man, but what he was worried about was that his father had too many bodyguards, what should Xi Jinhe do if he suffered a disadvantage?He thought of Xi Jinhe's low and sad voice when he told him about the situation at home, as if he was overprotective, he still leaned on the wall and barely stood up, walked into the bathroom tremblingly, washed it casually, and then took the mat from the cloakroom Jinhe changed his clothes and went out.
The whole process was extremely difficult. The pain from one end spread densely to the whole body. Jiang Huai didn't even bother to wipe the fine cold sweat on his forehead, and rushed downstairs as soon as he opened the door.
Uncle Fei, the chief butler of the Xi family, had obviously been waiting at the door for a long time, and stopped him with his hand, "Master Jiang, the master is waiting for you below."
Jiang Huai stared at the suit with no pleats in front of him, and swallowed hard - he had never seen his parents in his life, especially on the second day with Xi Jinhe.
Speaking of parents, he couldn't help thinking of his meticulous grandfather Shao Qingming.Now he moved to a holiday villa to recuperate, and he didn't care about worldly affairs. If he found out what he was like now, he might break his leg.
Jiang Huai was still hesitating, but Uncle Fei had already opened the elevator door for him.
"Uncle Fei, is Xi Jinhe here?"
"Master Xi has gone out."
"Ah?" Jiang Huai was stunned, he didn't expect to end up in a situation where he was fighting alone: "Did he and that...uncle quarrel?"
No wonder the phone doesn't answer.
The elevator door slowly opened, and Uncle Fei stood aside and smiled at him with a standard hospitality smile: "We are not qualified to listen to or discuss matters about the master. I'm afraid you have to ask the master yourself about these things."
Jiang Huai was made even more terrified by his attitude: "Uncle Fei, it's the 21st century, everyone is equal..." Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a burst of noise and the sound of pressing the shutter in the hall , and then he heard his own voice in the noise—"...I apologize to my friends who have always supported me and loved me, and I hope you can support my decision..."
——"Then I would like to ask Mr. Jianghuai, is your behavior of disbanding Downton suddenly in just two years after winning the Pulitzer Prize? related?"
——"Mr. Jiang Huai, some people say that you gave up photography because you were disappointed with domestic commercial photography. How do you respond to this?"
……
"I made this decision for my lover. Maybe many people will laugh at my stupid behavior, but I still think that the time spent with him is more important than holding a camera... "
Jiang Huai's pupils shrank slightly, and he paused in place.Isn't this... what he said at the press conference when he disbanded Downton?
"Master Jiang, please." Uncle Fei bent slightly towards him, and stopped moving forward.Jiang Huai saw that in front of him was the hall where he and Xi Jinhe first arrived yesterday. It was quiet at this time, and Uncle Fei behind him also retreated quietly. , stretched out his hand towards Jiang Huai very naturally, "Photographer Jiang, I have admired his name for a long time."
This "big name" can't afford it, and the forced smile in the video is also very dazzling.Jiang Huai was terrified, and stretched out his hand to shake it back: "I don't dare to be...you can just call me Jiang Huai."
"Sit down." Xi Tan gestured to him, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Huai himself, Jiang Huai took a slight sniff, and the fragrance slowly lingered up, actually dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind and making people feel emotional calm.
Shao Qingming is also a tea lover, Jiang Huai used to be curious about the difference, but he really has no talent.As soon as he picked up the small and warm porcelain cup, Xi Tan praised him again, "Heroes are born in youth! You are in the period of youth and vitality, but at the moment of fame, you choose to quit the circle and settle down to study, I'm afraid At your age, the child will not be so enlightened again."
Jiang Huai smiled wryly: "You are so ridiculous, I don't know if I should say that I have been doing nothing these years and doing some trivial things. After the press conference, I didn't even hold a camera, and I am not worthy of the title of 'photographer' ..."
Xi Tan also raised his cup and took a sip of his tea, and said without hesitation: "So, if I understand correctly, you have been with him since then?"
"Yes."
"Your grandfather is Shao Qingming, right? I've met your mother too... It's interesting to say that the two father and daughter look like [-]% to [-]% of each other. They are both good officials, but you are not at all like them."
"After all, my mother follows my grandfather's surname, and my surname is Jiang."
Xi Tan smiled softly, as if he had no intention of greeting him: "How is Mr. Ye?"
It is said that every businessman is a master at setting up tricks, and they are calm and calm at every step, not to mention hundreds of tricks, once a trap is caught, it will be lost forever.Among the people Jiang Huai knew, Ye Li was the only one whose age and status could be called by someone like Xi Tan with the surname Ye.
He knew this long ago, so what about Xi Jinhe?Jiang Huai didn't dare to think any further.
"I heard that when Ye Lao was young, he was also one of the aspiring young people that the Shao family praised. He tutored your photography since childhood, so it must be..."
"Uncle must know... where Xi Jinhe has gone." Jiang Huai answered with a smile, "In fact, he asked me to come back later, but the timing is not so coincidental. I just have some urgent matters to rush to explain. It's not very polite. But I suddenly couldn't get in touch with him, I wonder if you..."
"If you are in a hurry to tie him down, it's better to give up as soon as possible. Besides, there is nothing he can't get that he wants, and the one who delivers it to his door should be one step ahead of everyone."
Jiang Huai frowned and hesitated for a moment: "Uncle, what are you talking about? I just want to ask your people to send me a car to take me back to the apartment. I haven't driven for a long time, and my driving skills are not good. I'm afraid of leaving." You have to get lost. As for what Xi Jinhe is thinking about, since you don't interfere, I am not qualified to do so."
Xi Tan looked at him, and suddenly smiled, as if the previous hypocrisy could be dismantled, and finally noticed something different from the conversation: "His vision is good, you are really different."
Jiang Huai only wanted to escape.
He said goodbye quickly, and dragged his tired body into the car, feeling as if his whole body was being run over inch by inch, crushed into the dust.He originally planned to stand beside Xi Jinhe and let his horse deal with the two "special" wives, but he didn't expect that just Xi Tan's appearance would beat him to pieces and make him miserable.
Xi Jinhe didn't even drive the ostentatious Bentley. Xi Tan said that he left in such a hurry because he couldn't get what he asked for.
The stars and wind of last night disappeared behind the sun, Jiang Huai squeezed the mobile phone, carefully input one number after another slowly, dialed, but the other end was still turned off.How incredible that Xi Jinhe abandoned him like this.
——"Then when did you fall in love with me?"
——"Wait until I like you enough."
He gently put the phone back into his pocket, comforting himself: Jiang Huai, Xi Jinhe is still very good to you, he just doesn't like you that much.
Forget it.
Jiang Huai didn't really want to go back to Linhu Villa, and found that he had left his wallet and key card at Xi's house, so he asked the driver to divert to the city hospital.
He had failed to borrow money from Xi Jinhe earlier, and his account balance was gradually running out. Jiang Huai wanted to see Ling Ran and asked if there was any small work to earn some pocket money, but he heard a loud argument coming from the corridor. , as if someone lost his temper, and the whole plate fell to the ground, making a harsh sound.
Several little nurses surrounded Ling Ran's door, all worried.Jiang Huai walked up to him and just asked "what's the matter", when he saw Zhibai, the gold medal editor of "Shanhe Daily", slamming the door with a black face, without even looking at him, he walked quickly, and disappeared at the end of the corridor after a while .
He stretched out his hand to open the door, and the room was in a mess. The half-crippled Ling Ran was paralyzed on the bed panting, both eyes were red, and he would cry almost the next moment: "Why are you back again?! I said I don't want to see you! !"
Jiang Huai had never seen him like this, and he bent down with difficulty to pick up the plastic fruit plate on the ground: "Who are you angry with? You are so angry, like a child."
Ling Ran turned around and saw that it was him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, it's you."
Jiang Huai pretended to be picking up things, deliberately not looking at the grievance of him wiping his eyes with his sleeves: "Have you gotten better recently? Your brother and I are at the end of our ropes. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ling Ran let out a cry, and asked him worriedly: "Brother, you and President Xi finally broke up?"
"...I thank you, don't worry about my emotional problems all the time?" Jiang Huai felt better when he thought about it like this, and thought of teasing him: "I heard you crackling here from afar, why, Are you also emotionally broken?"
Obviously everyone thought it was a half-joke, but Ling Ran smiled at him desolately: "He and I... can't tell who is more greedy than the other."
Chapter 23
23.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Huai felt more and more overwhelmed by the cold editor-in-chief who had only met him a few times. He asked, "Then what were you arguing about just now?"
Ling Ran frowned: "He said that I always make my own decisions and don't listen to the orders of my superiors. I am not suitable to be a journalist at all. Then he said that I should take a vacation to reflect on myself. Of course I don't agree. When I get emotional, I will quarrel. It's over."
"You don't like to look at the face of your superiors...but these words do sound familiar." Jiang Huai sighed softly: "Xi Jinhe said that to me before. He said that everything I did was inconsistent. Things of the times, if you can't cater to the public, you will kill yourself sooner or later."
Ling Ran smiled: "There is nothing wrong with President Xi's words. As a cultural person, I always feel that your documentary style is too old-fashioned. It's like the last century. How can anyone like it?"
"What are you talking about, which side are you on?" Jiang Huai gave him a white look, "Speaking of business, please help."
"Have you really decided to come back?"
"Is it forced by life?"
"What, where's President Xi?" Ling Ran didn't believe it at all.
Jiang Huai had no choice but to raise his mobile phone at him: "I can't find anyone, I didn't bring my wallet out, and the key card is in it, I'm homeless now, I can only rely on you."
"Okay, okay!" Ling Ran turned his head and thought for a while: "If you don't mind, you can live in my house, and I will give you the key. Also, there is a lack of people to follow up on the incident at the dock. If you want to go, I will go with that Just say it."
Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I will treat you to dinner after you leave the hospital."
"No, I'm afraid I'll offend you. You don't want to choose a small newspaper like ours for such a big "Time", I don't know what you are planning." Ling Ran who had just escaped from the sidelines Picking out a few oranges for Jiang Huai, his face was full of curiosity: "I was surprised when you took me there last time, why does Mr. Xi seem to know all of you very well?"
"The people who know me well are people from before Downton. They have witnessed my long pursuit of my husband. Can they not know well... There are many reasons for not going, mainly because of the previous case. If I go back again, no matter what Staying in Downton or "Times" is difficult for Xi Jinhe to explain."
It was only after hearing what he said that Ling Ran remembered what happened to Ji Hengtang: "I heard that he is very popular recently..."
Jiang Huai laughed: "Really? He told me the other day, I still don't quite believe it..."
"In this group of newcomers, although his appearance is not the most outstanding, he is good at modeling and has his own unique style. Now he has tens of thousands of followers on Weibo."
"Won't "Time" have a newcomer like this every year?"
"Brother, don't you like him?"
"That's his own way." Jiang Huai broke off the orange and put it in his mouth to chew, but he spoke unambiguously: "Maybe he won't let us down."
Ling Ran nodded, peeled an orange and ate it, Jianghuai turned on the TV, which happened to be the story behind the "Time" model contest co-operated by Changfeng Society and the TV station.Jiang Huai simply sat next to Ling Ran, and began to have a match with him to wipe out all the surviving fruits.
It's time to eat, and a little nurse who was watching at the door came in with the patient's meal, and replaced Ling Ran with a plate of fresh fruit, "This was sent by Mr. Cheng, and he asked us to inform you that the notice has come down." , don't think about getting out of the hospital any more..."
"I..." Ling Ran wanted to get mad again, but when he saw Jiang Huai beside him, he still endured it: "Tell him that I know! Also! I really, really, really don't want to see him again! Tell him not to come Already!"
The little nurse's face was full of grievances, Jiang Huai couldn't bear it, and said to Ling Ran: "Why are you losing your temper with the little girl? She didn't ask you to provoke you."
Ling Ran used all his rebelliousness in his mouth, and even exaggerated when he was working, daring to say anything earth-shattering.When you are not working, you are like a child. There is no logic to follow. No matter who you are, as long as you are a little stronger than him, he will love you. If he loves you, he will love you.Of course, Cheng Zhibai was an exception, he was on his way to hate him all the time.
After being scolded by Jiang Huai in an "elderly" tone, Ling Ran apologized obediently and pitifully.This person pretended to be decent, but the little nurse blushed, covered her mouth and said it was okay, and hurriedly left the ward.
Jiang Huai was used to his contrast. He felt that he might have eaten too much fruit, and he felt a little hungry after watching Ling Ran after eating, so he got up and left.
Ling Ran handed over her key, and wrote down the floor room number to him, "It's been a long time since I took care of it, it might be a bit messy."
Jiang Huai then shook his head, said it was okay, turned around and went out: "Have a good rest."
"Hey brother!" The door was half closed, Ling Ran suddenly called out to him: "You have been absent-minded all morning, be careful when crossing the road."
Jiang Huai made him look like he didn't know what he was talking about, closed the door lightly and walked out of the hospital slowly.
The afternoon sun was quite harsh.Jiang Huai stood on the sidewalk for less than 2 minutes and felt that his eyes were filled with white light. He quickened his pace and walked under the shade of a tree. After a while, he gradually recovered his vision.
The phone in his hand was turned on and muted, but Xi Jinhe didn't look for him.
Jiang Huai remembered that this kind of situation had happened before, but not too many, but it was President Xi's basic principle to ask Hongli to call back the Linhu villa, and he was not afraid of losing it anyway.Jiang Huai thinks that Xi Jinhe probably knows his weakness. He has searched everywhere for these years, and he dare not even lose his temper.
He turned on the screen and entered Xi Jinhe's number again, but the other end was still turned off. He swiped across the address book, and finally dialed Hongli's number.
Hongli answered quickly: "Photographer Jiang."
Jiang Huai didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he opened his mouth to say something beautiful to prove that he didn't care so much, and finally asked: "Do you know where President Xi is?"
But Hongli's other end became quiet, he said: "I'll ask the president for instructions, please wait a moment." The other end of the phone stopped again, and after a while, he said: "The president said he has something important, you Just wait for him in the room first, if you have something to tell the housekeeper, Uncle Fei, there is no need to meet the master face to face."
Jiang Huai smiled wryly, it was really late.Holding Ling Ran's key, he asked Hongli to tell him: "I don't think I need to wait for him anymore. If he goes back, please take my wallet..." He paused, "Forget it, it's okay, you let him Get busy."
Hongli questioned on the other end, but Jiang Huai hung up the phone.
Maybe he doesn't have such qualifications, maybe Xi Jinhe, who has finally improved his attitude towards him, will be furious again, but he just has some emotions.
He thought that if Xi Jinhe used this matter to quarrel with him, he would follow Ling Ran's example and retort openly—"What's wrong? After all these years, I still can't get emotional?!"
Tut tut, how flamboyant.
Ling Ran's residence is more than ten minutes' drive away from the hospital. Jianghuai is penniless, so he can only check the map and walk there.
The sun became more and more like a tiger and a beast, Jiang Huai tried his best to walk under the shade of the trees, but his brain was still swollen from the stimulation.
He hesitated for a while at the green light, before his eyes turned to a red light.He hurriedly turned back, but caught a glimpse of a familiar car gliding not far away.It was the library on a rainy day, the one that Hongli often drove.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huai quickened his pace to catch up. The road just caught up with the red light, and the black Porsche stopped in the river of cars.Even though there was a strong light reflection, he could still easily tell that the person in the driver's seat was Hongli, while Xi Jinhe was in the back seat, and there was another person sitting beside him, although most of it was covered by him, it was still eye-catching and dazzling .
Jiang Huai suddenly turned around.
He covered his eyes with his hands, carefully judging the information behind him.He heard the sound of car horns one after another, and the traffic behind him slowly started and stopped.A group of tourist groups crossing the road cheered and crowded towards him. He fell into the crowd and was quickly abandoned.
It turned out to be the case.
Chapter 24
24.
It was obviously a journey of four to ten minutes at most, but Jiang Huai walked for an hour to arrive. In the hot summer sun, half of his shirt was almost soaked in cold sweat.
The pain on his body was infinitely magnified at this moment, he held the key in his trembling hand and opened the door of Ling Ran's house, and managed to identify the direction of the sofa for a while in the dimly lit and messy living room, he didn't even bother to scan it The dust just collapsed on it.
Those tiny floating objects penetrated into his nose and throat, Jiang Huai coughed violently, curled up in pain, and coughed almost out of strength.Because of some unspeakable injuries behind him, he could only lie on his side and pant for breath.
The mobile phone slid from the pocket to the ground along with the movement, and the screen suddenly turned on, with a clean time display and nothing else.
In the first half a year, JAC made many attempts.Get drunk non-stop, pack your luggage and sit in the airport terminal all day long.As night fell, he carried his things back and went back. The lakeside villa was so big that he would not leave any traces when he came and went.
He tried to forget Xi Jinhe, he had this idea from the beginning of pursuing him, and then he laughed at himself, even talking about love is so tiring.He used to think that if he waited slowly like this, he would always be able to wait until that day, but now he didn't dare to think that way.
Xi Tan said that Xi Jinhe [the person who is always on his mind] appeared in his life earlier than Jiang Huai and has never been forgotten.
Jiang Huai felt a little sad, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait.
Sad to the end, Jiang Huai stretched out his hand to turn off the phone, closed his eyes and fell asleep in anger.The quality of sleep in an unfamiliar environment is getting worse. In the dream, Jiang Shang still has that fatherly look, looking at him, saying such cruel words, and then abandoning him.
Jiang Huai scooped up a handful of water to disperse all these.He is a responsible photographer, even though he didn't sleep well that night, he still got up early the next morning to wash off the thick layer of exhaustion on his face inch by inch.
He let out a heavy sigh at the sink, and put all these thoughts behind him as he went out.He turned on the phone, but Xi Jinhe still didn't look for him.
Jiang Huai was in a daze for a while, and was slightly worried about the remaining battery.Fortunately, the young man in charge of contact over there took the phone from Ling Ran to contact him, his voice almost cheered, and asked him to rush to the hospital within an hour, and then told him the general process.
This program is not directly affiliated with "Shanhe Daily". It is just a column of the local station. It restores the progress of the case in the form of interviews, and does not touch the high-level people behind it and some well-known secrets. It is biased towards entertaining the public.Ling Ran had a good relationship with the reporter, and because Jiang Huai's name was there, the other party agreed without even thinking about it, and the remuneration was considerable, so it didn't take too long.
After Jiang Huai listened carefully, he frowned and wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this moment, the phone automatically shut down due to lack of battery, and after the screen went black, his funny face was reflected, which was a bit ironic.
Fortunately, that hospital is the same as Ling Ran, the First Affiliated Hospital of G City, a few 10 minutes away.Jiang Huai quickened his pace to look for Ling Ran first, and asked him to borrow a data cable and power bank, and then hurriedly returned it as soon as he turned it on, and only after he said sorry did he ask for the ward number.
It's just that the tone of the person on the other end of the phone was indifferent, and he was not excited about contacting him before. After he finished speaking, he said that there was another call coming in, and hung up on his own, leaving Jianghuai in a daze to the busy tone on the other end.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that his expression was not right, Ling Ran asked, "How about I go with you?"
"You can just lie here with peace of mind, what are you messing about, you have ordered a long vacation to recuperate. Don't worry, I will come to see you when I'm done." Jiang Huai took the key from his pocket and threw it to him: "Here, return it to you. Your house It's too messy and there's really nothing I can do about it."
"Reunited with the president after a broken mirror?"
"No, stop talking."
"Then what are you doing these days?"
Jiang Huai held back for a long time before saying: "...Can you really lend me some money?"
Ling Ran rolled her eyes at him: "Brother, what are you planning with President Xi?"
"Whatever I can draw, I will post it upside down." Jiang Huai hurried away, waved his hand to him, opened the door and went out to find the direction.The structure of the hospital is complicated, Jiang Huai asked the nurses and found out that the ward was two floors above Ling Ran's, and he didn't even need to take the elevator, Jiang Huai went up directly by taking the stairs.
"...Yes, why do you think there is such a person? He hung up on me just now! Really... I don't even look at where I am now..."
In the empty stairwell, a trace of echo can be amplified infinitely, and someone seems to be making a phone call in it.Although Jiang Huai's hearing became poor after his illness, the man's tone was a little heavier, but he could hear clearly without much effort.
After going around a few steps, Jiang Huai saw that the caller was a young man with a shaved head and a pattern.He was sucking a cigarette butt in his mouth, and he was rolling two of them under his feet.
Seeing Jiang Huai walking up slowly, the man glanced at him lightly.With just one glance, the man seemed to feel a little different, and he recognized him after another glance, "Ouch! Photographer Jiang! You're here!"
Jiang Huai frowned to avoid his smoke: "You are?"
"Oh, I'm Xiaojin who was in touch with you, the one who called you just now. You're so early, we haven't started so soon."
For some reason, Jiang Huai was always uncomfortable seeing his smiling face.He said it didn't matter, but couldn't help it: "Smoking is prohibited in the hospital, you should put out your cigarette."
The man's smile froze on his face, and he agreed with a hey, raised his hand and threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, and stomped hard a few times.Jiang Huai glanced at him, and heard a loud sneer when he stretched out his hand to push the door out.
Jiang Huai didn't pause, and went out sideways. He went to touch the machine and planned to meet the subject to be interviewed.
The reporter who has a good relationship with Ling Ran also arrived early, and was preparing in front of the ward door, writing something on the notebook with a pen. When he saw Jiang Huai coming, he looked up and smiled at him, then got up and shook hands to say hello and introduce himself .
Jiang Huai immediately relaxed a lot. The first impression between people is extremely important. Although he has seen people's hearts for a long time, Jiang Huai still uses this to support his gradually alienated personal connections. Journalists who have a good relationship with Ling Ran will never What a bad person, he thought, but something went wrong in the process of discussing the interview steps with that person.
It was Jiang Huai who stood up first. As a person who had been to the first scene and experienced the second explosion, he was a little angry, but more puzzled: "Isn't this a pre-determined idea for us to shoot? It is basically impossible to even restore the case!"
The other party was much calmer than him: "We are not a legal program, why should we focus on the case? You are not allowed to touch anything on it, how can the ratings increase if you don't accept tears?"
"It's not the same thing." Jiang Huai hasn't experienced such a thing for a long time, and he is unusually stubborn on this point: "Tears are one aspect, but we can't force people to say things that don't exist when we make news, they... ...they are heroes!"
"Isn't 'Hero' being fired all these years not enough? From those directions, what can they get? Subsidies? Donations from volunteers? All of these are because of the program effect. Without the program effect, they have nothing! Jiang Jiang The photographer..." The man was sitting in his original position, his eyes had changed, he squinted his eyes, raised them up slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, as if watching a joke: "Have you been away from this circle for too long? Even the basic Have you forgotten all the rules?"
Jiang Huai stood on the spot with his mouth half open, the hair on his forehead was a bit long, and Wei Wei covered half of his eyes in the shadows, he couldn't tell whether it was anger or shame in his eyes, he just breathed heavily, as if he couldn't breathe .
The assistant named Xiao Jin heard the sound and walked towards them, but turned towards the reporter with a posture of standing on a high ground: "Hey, what are you talking about? Photographer Jiang is an old-timer in the circle, like It’s good for him to condescend to come to our small family’s show, we’ll follow him, if something goes wrong, isn’t Senior Ling holding it?”
The reporter put down the things in his hands, and then got up.He squeezed his chin and glanced at Xiao Jin, and laughed again: "Senior Ling's backstage is no worse than our photographer Jiang's. These days, they are all capable people, and everyone counts according to their ability. This time I was wrong. Just do what Photographer Jiang thinks."
Xiao Jin smiled and said: "That's great!" Seeing Jiang Huai standing still, he was really itchy for that sullen face. He just raised his hand to pull him, but Jiang Huai brushed him away.
"I won't record it anymore, you can find someone else." Jiang Huai's face was already pale, but his steps were calm and steady, his eyes were still as sharp as a knife, and he cut away from the faces of the two people whose masks were still broken, turned and pushed away After entering the door of the stairwell, he fled back to the Lingran ward like a fish swimming.
Ling Ran also looked at him in surprise: "Why did you..."
"I'm quitting." Jiang Huai said expressionlessly, then turned around and left.He didn't want to stay there any longer to embarrass himself, and also felt ashamed, his eyes were blurred, as if covered by a layer of mist.
Jiang Huai thought in a daze, suddenly he couldn't see clearly what he thought: his home; the beliefs he held; the people he loved.
A day and a night passed, Xi Jinhe still didn't look for him, and he finally had nowhere to go.
Chapter 25
25.
Cheng Zhibai was having a meeting in the club when he received the call from the hospital.The people in the club were also fortunate enough to witness the process of the legendary "Cheng Lengmian" from expressionless to almost violent, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
The meeting ended without a problem, and Cheng Zhibai rushed to the hospital to teach others a lesson.
Good job, just run to the scene without explaining, and now dare to openly fight in a public place like a hospital!If he hadn't had a personal relationship with the dean and asked someone to take care of him, the police would have come to the door right now!
Cheng Zhibai's teeth were itchy, and he opened the door of the room suddenly, only to see Ling Ran obediently lying on the bed, raising his hand to lift his clothes for the doctor to re-bandage the wound.
The replaced bloody gauze had already been thrown into the trash can. On the white abdomen, the flesh-red scars turned outwards, slightly undulating with Ling Ran's breathing.Cheng Zhibai felt distressed and annoyed, his eyes fell on the IV drip that the nurse was putting on, and his anger still persisted: "What's going on?!"
Ling Ran ignored him.Waiting patiently for the doctor's signal to put down the clothes, and then took the initiative to cover the quilt, and then spoke slowly, as if it had nothing to do with him: "That's the thing, what's there to talk about?"
Cheng Zhibai's face darkened again: "Ling Ran! Look at your attitude?! If you don't want to be a reporter anymore, I will help you!"
"Apart from threatening me with this, what else can you do?" Ling Ran didn't even look at him directly: "Yes, I'm sick in my head! See if they're upset and beat you up! What's wrong? Can't I just go crazy?! Aren’t you my boss? What an amazing thing?! Just take care of yourself, why should you take care of me!!”
Seeing that something was wrong, the doctors and nurses in the ward immediately stepped out of the room.This ward has been blacklisted since Ling Ran moved in. The doctors are afraid of Cheng Zhibai's relationship and dare not take care of them. They let the two quarrel loudly, and even smash things when they are very angry-all just look at it. not see.However, the nurses all liked Ling Ran very much, and at first they rushed in to persuade them, but one by one finally heard some clues in the quarrel, gave up the idea, and became CP parties watching at the door one after another.
"If you want to quarrel with me, you can do whatever you want." Cheng Zhibai gritted his teeth, and he clenched his fists: "If you are injured, don't mess around like before. If you don't want to see me, I will definitely not show up again after you recover and leave the hospital. in front of you."
Ling Ran smiled wryly: "Oh, you said the same thing back then, and then what? You exiled me for two years in a foreign country, did you care about how I lived? So what this time? Where else do you want me to go? Cheng Zhibai, Can't you just let me go? I'm really tired..."
There was no news for two years, and I could only see fragments of this person on the news. Watching him from marriage to divorce had nothing to do with him.
Ling Ran loved this person, and hated him to the extreme. She wished she could tear her skin apart and die together.
"No." Cheng Zhibai looked very tired: "You can do what you want, reporter or other, just
