ABO diurnal boundary

On Saturday night, on the way to pick Xie Jingchi home, Qin Shen asked him if he wanted to go out with him tomorrow.

Xie Jingchi knew very well that Qin Shen would visit his grandfather who lived in the garden villa in Nancheng District every weekend, and this week was no exception.

Emotionally, he wanted to go together, but the upcoming exam did not allow him to waste time on relatively unimportant trips.

"I have an exam next week, can I do it after the exam?" He hesitated and asked tentatively.

On the dark glass, Qin Shen's handsome side face was shrouded in a hazy mist, and his voice seemed muffled and unreal amidst the noisy rain.

Qin Shen turned around, his eyes seemed to have a little warmth that is rarely seen on weekdays, "Anytime." He said gently.

The next morning, Xie Jingchi stayed on the meeting bed, and when he finally woke up, Qin Shen had already left.

According to the weather forecast, heavy precipitation will continue until the end of this week, and then there will be a new round of warming.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the city smelled like damp paper under the fierce baking of the sun.

At the beginning of each month, the housekeeper will contact a professional company to do a thorough cleaning.After breakfast, Xie Jingchi moved the books, notes and electronic equipment needed for study to the living room.

In order to prepare for next week's monthly exam, he declined all entertainment invitations and concentrated on making up for the homework and notes left behind during his illness-although most teachers would not say it for the sake of the laboratory building donated by Xie Mingyao What a harsh word, but he didn't like it.

In the final sprint stage of the college entrance examination, there are a lot of after-school homework every day, and the weight of the two days will only make people dizzy.

To solve a big problem related to brain region lesions, the pen in his hand suddenly stopped, piercing the thin paper, leaving a small black hole.

He accidentally entered the words "Alzheimer's disease" in the search box, and then pressed the Enter key.

There were many related items that popped up, and he picked a few that might be helpful to him.

"Alzheimer is a cruel disease."

It is the self-report of the patient's family members.Thinking of that dull and frightened face, Xie Jingchi felt a little sad.

"Once you have this disease, you're not the same person you knew anymore."

"Their world is distorted and distorted by forgetting day after day, and you can only watch them disconnect from the world without being able to stop it."

This person wrote a lot of details about daily life in detail, and there are many comments below. Most of them are encouraging her and persuading her not to give up hope, while a small number of people are venting their emotions fiercely.

"With this disease, a person can no longer be called a human being."

Xie Jingchi's finger on the mouse wheel stopped, but he continued to read patiently.

"People with this disease can't be called human beings. It's just stupid and futile self-deception to say that patience can awaken miracles. That thing is not at all the person you used to know. It's just a terrible person without the most basic consciousness of being human And emotional monsters, parasitic in the human body until the nutrients are exhausted."

This person spoke very bluntly, and the following people agreed and some scolded him for not having the most basic sympathy for a human being. The scene was chaotic.

"If there is something you don't know, you can wait for the young master to come back and ask him."

Hearing someone talking very close behind him, Xie Jingchi, who was completely immersed in his own world, was startled, and frantically closed the extra web pages.

The butler stood behind him for an unknown amount of time. Seeing that his face was full of shock, he showed a slightly embarrassed smile, "Scared you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Xie Jingchi glanced at the screen secretly, making sure that all relevant webpages were closed, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "What did you just say?"

"Reviewing?"

The butler will bring drinks and snacks on the coffee table.

The oranges and apples on the plate were arranged in the shape of rabbits with erect ears. Xie Jingchi vaguely felt that these people regarded him as a child who needed to be coaxed.

"If you have a problem, why don't you ask the young master to give you tutoring?"

Xie Jingchi paused in the air as he was going to grab the orange.

"Oh." He withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and said with flickering eyes, "I'm afraid he will laugh at me... and it's a bit embarrassing."

"How is it possible? The young master is not such a person, I swear."

The housekeeper's face was full of surprise, which didn't seem to be fake. Xie Jingchi looked at him for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Then what kind of person is he..."

Studying is a complex job that consumes a lot of brainpower. While the housekeeper was thinking about it, he quietly touched an orange and put it in his mouth.

Oranges were sweeter than he thought, and Xie Jingchi, who hated sour fruits the most, couldn't help but eat one after another.

"When the young master was in high school, I occasionally went to school to give him things, so I have the most say on this issue."

Xie Jingchi ate his snack and heard from the butler that Qin Shen's former classmates had changed their ways to ask Qin Shen to give them a lecture, but in the butler's narration, Qin Shen seemed to be a person who would never refuse anyone.

"If it's a reasonable request, the young master will rarely refuse others, and..." The butler seemed to have something to say, but he still didn't say it.

There is still dinner at noon, so naturally I won't prepare too many snacks.The plate was soon emptied, and the butler left with the empty plate. Xie Jingchi continued to do his homework, but after writing for a while, he still felt uneasy.

He had to admit that he was a little envious of those who could ask Qin Shen to help with their lectures without any scruples.

Only a little bit really.

In the evening, Xie Jingchi was entrusted by the housekeeper to call Qin Shen and asked if he was coming back for dinner.

Qin Shen's taste is bland, and there are many foods he doesn't like. If he comes back to eat, many things can't appear on the table.

Living under the same roof, the number of times he and Qin Shen contacted increased sharply, and finally stabilized at the frequency of once in the morning and once in the evening.

Most of the time, the person who came to pick him up from school at night was Qin Shen, and only a few times, when Qin Shen couldn't leave, he would be replaced by the bald middle-aged driver.

After the call was connected, Qin Shen asked him straight to the point what was the matter, Xie Jingchi secretly glanced at the busy figures of the housekeeper and Aunt Li not far away, and explained the reason to him in a low voice.

"No, I can't come back, you tell them not to prepare."

It's one thing to think about it beforehand, but it's another thing to hear Qin Shen say that he won't come back for dinner.

Xie Jingchi couldn't explain why he felt lost for a while, "Oh, I see, I'll go tell them right away, then I'll die."

"Wait a moment."

The phone didn't hang up as Xie Jingchi expected, Xie Jingchi thought he had changed his mind, and quietly waited for the next sentence.

"Xie Jingchi, have you finished your studies?"

Xie Jingchi didn't understand what the standard of "reviewed" was in his mouth.

If the standard was time-consuming, he would have spent the whole day reviewing at home without going anywhere, but if the standard was to get a high score, then he would not be able to do it even if he tried his best.

"Probably okay." He replied vaguely, and changed the topic to another place before Qin Shen objected, "What's the matter with you?"

Qin Shen told him the name of the store, which is in the center of Wenjiang Commercial Street not too far from here.

"I have booked a place, you go and report my name, and someone will take you to the place."

Xie Jingchi turned a corner and realized that Qin Shen was inviting him to dinner.

"I..." He paused for a while, then said softly, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Then I wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Jingchi came out of the room and briefly explained the situation to the housekeeper.

The butler nodded, "I'll ask the driver to take you there."

The location of the restaurant is very close to here, Xie Jingchi's first reaction was to refuse, "I can take a taxi..."

After being a transparent person for so long, it was hard for him to get used to someone putting his needs first, and the other party was someone very close to Qin Shen, so he was too embarrassed to bother him.

"It's okay, we should have gone back at this point, the young master doesn't like to keep people here overnight." The butler looked him over with gentle eyes, "Do you want to change a piece of clothing? Of course, that's also very good. "

Xie Jingchi belatedly realized that the band joint T-shirt he was wearing was indeed not suitable for attending such formal occasions.

"Oh, good." His eyes drifted away, and a blush appeared on his fair cheeks, "Wait for me, up to 5 minutes."

It was not completely dark when Xie Jing arrived at the agreed place late.

The air after the rain is filled with wet steam, and the lights of the store blend through the shade of the trees and merge with the sunset at the edge of the horizon.

The waiter took Xie Jingchi to the private room on the second floor, then closed the door and left.

Qin Shen also seemed to have arrived for a while, and was currently looking at the menu under the bright light.

Xie Jingchi walked over and sat down. Outside the window was the only view of the river, and the flickering signal lights of the cruise ship were not so eye-catching in the dim twilight.

"Faster than I thought, did you take a taxi?"

"The housekeeper sent me here." Xie Jingchi said while secretly observing Qin Shen's reaction.

"Well, I'll pick you up next time."

Looking at Qin Shen's expressionless face, Xie Jingchi adjusted his sitting posture.

The back of the chair was very soft and comfortable, because he was not in front of Xie Mingyao, he briefly allowed himself to lean on it in a posture that Xie Mingyao called uneducated and unmannered.

Noticing his small movements, Qin Shen took a quick look at him, which made him tense up.

However, Qin Shen didn't express any opinion and continued to look at his menu.

"Today... how is it?" Xie Jingchi whispered to him.

He thought that he was about to forget the things he had seen in the morning, but when he saw Qin Shen's face, all the details came back to his mind clearly.

He didn't miss the tiredness and bewilderment in this man's brow.

"Are you caring about me, Xie Jingchi?"

Xie Jingchi was caught off guard by the question, "Yes, right."

"It's still the same." Qin Shen said something to the waiter in a low voice, and then answered his question, "I refuse to take medicine, and no matter what I say to him, I just think that I am a stranger who wants to harm him."

"Is that so." Xie Jingchi twitched the corner of his mouth, regretting why he started this topic.

Alzheimer's disease will cause permanent and irreversible damage to the human brain. Existing technologies can only slow it down but not cure it effectively. The patient will always be worse than the day before.

He clearly knew this was the case, so what kind of miracle was he expecting?

Qin Shen slowly closed the menu, "There is caramel apple souffle on the menu, I ordered one for you, and you can order the rest yourself."

He was stunned for a moment, realizing that Qin Shen was trying to resolve his embarrassment, "Okay, I... I'll take a look."

The corner of Qin Shen's mouth raised slightly, and when Xie Jingchi realized what had just happened, this person returned to his usual indifferent look.

This person's thoughtfulness and gentleness are just like this, always indifferent, unrevealed, like a fleeting shadow, without leaving any traces.

The string in Xie Jingchi's heart seemed to be plucked by someone, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

After dinner, Xie Jingchi saw the caramel apple souffle that Qin Shen ordered for him.

The burnt brown syrup coats the light and fluffy muffin and apple chunks, and there's a tiny lilac flower on the side, which is pretty good anyway.

He dug a spoonful, and the aftertaste of caramel was slightly bitter, and the muffin and apple were too sweet, completely overpowering the aroma of butter.

"Don't like it?"

Hearing Qin Shen's question, he hesitated for a while, and said as tactfully as possible, "It's a bit...too sweet."

Qin Shen hummed noncommittally, "Then remove it and get another one?" He was about to ring the service bell on the table.

Xie Jingchi shook his head quickly, "No need." He didn't want to disappoint Qin Shen's good intentions, "It's just a little sweet, and it's not a big problem."

Qin Shen looked like he had something to say, but in the end he just withdrew his hand, "That's up to you."

Xie Jingchi's hand holding the spoon froze in mid-air.He didn't know why Qin Shen seemed to be in a good mood on the previous day, but now he changed back to his usual unwarmed appearance.

He couldn't tell which kind of Qin Shen would get along better, generally speaking, he liked the former better, but the former treated him so well that it was really difficult to choose.

Concerned about Xie Jingchi who had to go to school tomorrow, he didn't have many arrangements after the meal.

On the way back, he was going to pass a certain street. Xie Jingchi, who had been in a daze, came to his senses and asked Qin Shen if he could stop the car later.

He didn't expect that at this point, the store was still open, and there didn't seem to be any signs of closure or transfer.

Qin Shen didn't ask too many reasons, and stopped the car on the side of the street as he said.

"I'm going to do some shopping." Xie Jingchi pushed the car door, and slipped away as lightly as a rabbit.

Five minutes later, Xie Jingchi came back with a handful of things.

Qin Shen's gaze fell on the dark green long-stemmed plant in his arms.

Different from the gift bouquets that Qin Shen saw most often, this bouquet didn't have complicated and expensive ribbons or packaging, but was simply wrapped in old newspapers, exposing part of the flower buds.

"what is this?"

Xie Jingchi fiddled with the leaves with water droplets hanging on them, and whispered an answer that anyone with a discerning eye could see, "Flowers."

"I know, I asked what species, I don't know much about plants."

"Freesia."

The buds have two colors, a single light yellow and a red-yellow gradient, some are opened a little, and some are still tightly closed.

Xie Jingchi doesn't like clothes that are too brightly colored, and wears plain black, white and gray all year round. At this moment, he holds the flame-like flowers in his arms, and his whole body suddenly becomes brighter and more eye-catching.

Qin Shen's eyes lingered on him for a long time, until Xie Jingchi cast a puzzled look, and then restarted the car, "Why do you suddenly think of buying flowers?"

Xie Jingchi fastened his seat belt while protecting the bouquet in his arms, "I bought it when I suddenly thought of it, it's nothing special."

Half of what he said was true and half was false.

Sudden impulse is true, and no other reason is false.

For Xie Jingchi, flowers symbolize a long time ago, a beautiful memory before everything fell apart.

When he was young, he would come here for piano lessons every week. On the way back, the person who brought him would always buy a bouquet of seasonal flowers in this store.

——In this case, the calyx should be processed with scissors, otherwise the flowering period will not be uniform.

The fresh and lovely flowers exude a hazy and fresh fragrance in the claustrophobic space, just like this moment.

"Don't you like it?" Xie Jingchi suddenly realized that he had ignored Qin Shen's feelings, "Or are you allergic to pollen?"

Qin Shen pampered him too much, and made him too complacent, forgetting that he was only a temporary host, and wanted to make progress.

"I don't have pollen allergies." Qin Shen kept watching the road ahead, "Xie Jingchi, if you want to buy flowers next time, you can let me go with you."
