"Meow."

Shen Yan's eyelids trembled slightly in his deep sleep - it seemed that he heard a cat meowing softly.

The source of the sound is very close, as if it is so close to my ear.

Even though he didn't fully wake up, he still felt something touch his ear slightly, which was different from the hairball-like cat, but it was just as warm.

"Meow." The second sound was lower than the first.

This time, the thing touched his face.

Not like a cat's paws or whiskers, but like a man's fingers, lightly tracing his cheeks, and finally pressing on his eyelashes.

"En." He responded vaguely, subconsciously raised his hand, and his fingers seemed to touch the cat's head, and he stroked it very gently as he usually did when he was making rounds in the hospital.

wrong……

There seems to be a difference between what the palm touches and the cat's fine, fluffy fur.One strand after another, although equally soft and slender, has a certain degree of toughness.After groping a few more times in a daze, I didn't feel the fluffy pointed ears in my impression, but a crisp and warm piece - the pinna of a human.

Shen Yan was startled, and opened his eyes suddenly.

The person on the opposite side met his eyes all of a sudden, and seemed to be taken aback.

Shen Yan came back to his senses first, and finally realized what he was doing, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly: "...I'm sorry, conditioned reflex."

Qi Yu was propping one hand on the pillow, lying there very docilely on his side, letting him stroke her hair. Now when she heard this sentence, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she rolled her eyes and burst out laughing.While laughing, he really imitated the cat's movements, turned over and got back under the bed, and firmly embraced the person with his hands.

At first, he just quietly looked at the sleeping face of the person next to his pillow, but on a whim, he stuck to the other person's ear and meowed twice like a cat, hoping to see if the other person would wake up.

It's just that he didn't expect that Shen Yan would stretch out his hand to touch his head in a "conditioned reflex", and he was willing to accept it, so he dutifully played the role of a cat to enjoy this kind of treatment.

...Because, it is so comfortable.

For a moment, he was envious of the cats in the hospital under Shen Yan's care.

The faint light in the winter morning has a texture that is easy to settle. It seems that even the light has entered a state of hibernation, lying quietly on the floor, on the furniture, and hanging on the minute and second hands of the clock, dragging their tails, and then unconsciously. The flow of time seemed to slow down.

Not only time, but also human movements become slow motion.

Hug, touch, kiss.It's all slow and lazy.

It was still chilly outside the bed, and Qi Yu had no intention of getting up at all. Using the excuse of keeping warm, she slowly groped Shen Yan's body from front to back for a long time. Shen Yan also hugged him with open arms, and gently rubbed him. s hair.There is no fabric space between the skins and they are directly pasted together and rubbed against each other. I can't tell how comfortable it is.

"I finally changed the screen saver of my phone." Qi Min didn't speak for a while in his arms, but when she opened her mouth, it was a topic that she didn't know where to start.

"Mobile screen saver?"

"Yeah." Qi Jin smiled lightly, and sighed like nostalgia, "It's been a long time since I changed it."

Normally, Shen Yan would not touch his personal belongings without Qi Jin's permission, including his work files, folders, contents of his laptop, etc... Naturally, his cell phone was also included.So Shen Yan had never seen what the screensaver on his phone was.

At this time, Qi Zhi slowly raised half of her body, raised the mobile phone placed by the pillow in front of him, and smiled lazily: "When you were still sleeping just now, I took a photo with my mobile phone, and I planned to take it Look at it every day as a new phone screensaver.”

Shen Yan was startled when he heard the words, and followed his movements to the screen of the phone—the screen was a close-up of himself, which was obviously taken at a very close distance, and the angle was just right.In the photo, I closed my eyes and was still asleep on the pillow, my expression was as soft as the light that shone slightly on my face.

After a while, Shen Yan's eyes turned to Qi Jin.Qi Min kept smiling slightly during this process, and when he saw him looking over, she took the initiative to lean over and kiss him on the cheek.

"Then what was your previous screensaver?" Shen Yan silently waited for him to finish kissing, then asked in a hoarse voice.

Qi Jin paused for a while, and laughed softly: "...It's you too."

After all, before Shen Yan could react, he had already opened the picture folder in his phone and found a photo inside.

This photo was taken at a distance, but it is indeed him, and he is sleeping.On the sofa in the doctor's lounge, covered with a thin blanket, there was a little furry patient sticking out from under the blanket and lying weakly on his chest.Because of the curtains at the time, the lighting in the photo was not very good, and the silhouettes of a person and a cat were hazy, but there was a sense of timelessness frozen in the picture.

Shen Yan recalled this scene and couldn't help being stunned.

That was... before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Qi Xi came to deliver mooncakes——

"you……"

"I, at that time, I already knew that I had more than a friend's affection for you." Qi Wei continued the words calmly.

Shen Yan stared into his eyes without moving, while his eyes were lowered to look at the nostalgic photo.

"I was probably obsessed with ghosts for a while, so I secretly took this photo and saved it in my phone, and then... I made up my mind never to see you again."

When Qi Yu said this, she laughed at herself with a hoarse voice.

"When I pressed the button, I was thinking... 'This man can't be with me, can't be mine'," he muttered as he swiped his thumb back to the boot screen.Inside the palm-sized frame is the face of the man who embraced and slept with him after a night of lingering love. The bitterness in the smile gradually mixed with a touch of sweetness, which melted in the words, "However, when I took the photo just now, what I thought was It's 'this man is mine and will always be with me'."

A very strong, very positive thought—

At this time, Qi Jin threw the phone aside without saying a word, and lowered her body to hug him tightly.

"Come with me," he said.

"Okay." As if discussing a very common and simple matter, Shen Yan answered calmly.

Obviously there is only one word, but it is known how much weight there is in it.

Even though I got the answer I wanted, I still couldn't help but feel a slight shock in my heart. It seems that the suppressed emotions these days have been shaken down, and I can't tell which ones are joy and which ones are melancholy... But now there is no need to distinguish, Because it is more important to keep going forward than to go back.

The channel director received a text message from Qi Jin.

In the past few days, he has made several phone calls to Qi Rong, all of which have the same central idea, trying to persuade Qi Rong to accept the internship opportunity, but Qi Rong's answer remains the same - "Think about it again", so his " "I'll give you three days" turned into "I'll give you four days" and then "I'll give you five days", but each time he ended up hanging up the phone angrily.

So when he received the text message with the words [I accept], he couldn't recover for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he had already dialed Qi Jin's number.

"Oh, Xiao Qi, you finally figured it out!"

"I'm sorry, Director, I really caused you trouble this time..."

Qi Jin smiled a little ashamedly, and while talking on the phone, he browsed the Beijing rental housing information webpage on the computer screen.If you go to Beijing, the first thing you need to solve is naturally the housing problem.

The director was overjoyed by his decision, praised him endlessly, and praised his "understanding girlfriend", saying that he would communicate with the Beijing side first, because before the official decision was made, CCTV's The person in charge will definitely have to meet Qi Yu in person, for formal interviews, to make connections and so on.During this period, he can slowly plan the move.

When Qi Jin was about to leave here, the woman was also about to leave.

This idea was what she said when they came to the hospital to deliver meals to her. The reason was: "I can't let you take care of me forever, and the hospitalization fee is not a small sum every day."

When she opened her mouth like this, Qi Yu couldn't help being stunned, and raised her head subconsciously.

"You have your own lives too." She said lightly.

Shen Yan did not answer immediately.

Qi Yu couldn't sit still.

Ever since they knew that Shen Yan had explained their relationship to her, although none of the three of them had brought it up again, everyone had tacitly understood it.After all, Qi Yu was a little reserved in front of women, and always felt embarrassed to meet her eyes.On the contrary, the woman has never shown any behavior to avoid him, and sometimes she will stare at him quietly for a while, and finally smile wistfully, making it impossible to guess her thoughts.

"Auntie, you should rest for a while." If the reason is what you think, then it may be good to take the initiative to reduce the chances of meeting. "Actually, I'm going back to work soon. Shen Yan can accompany you again."

"If he has time, he should spend more time with you." Unexpectedly, the woman said such a sentence suddenly, Qi Min was caught off guard, and her face flushed slightly.

"Mom..." Shen Yan also spoke at this time.

"Don't worry, I'm really fine." What the woman said was not a lie.After recuperating for a period of time, her complexion could not be said to be rosy, but she was not too pale. During the follow-up visit, the doctor also thought that her body functions had recovered well, and she could consider leaving the hospital.

She has been in the provincial capital alone for a long time, and after remarrying, she also has a husband and a family, so it is impossible to live for a long time.

Shen Yan's vacation has been used up, so she can only come here after get off work, and it's not convenient to come and go.

With the woman's insistence, the procedures for discharge from the hospital were completed the next day, and Shen Yan also prepared all the tickets for her return home and the medicines for the recuperation period.Qi Jin went to the TV station in the morning to deal with various matters before resuming work, and rushed over at noon to have a final lunch with her, and sent her to the Provincial Bus Station with Shen Yan.

There was still an hour before the departure, and the three of them sat in the waiting room without talking for a while.

Until the woman suddenly asked Qi Yu: "Xiao Qi, are you still in touch with your family?"

Qi Min was taken aback, remembering that the starting point of his conversation with the woman was the topic of being abandoned by his family, his expression darkened slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"No," he said in a low voice, "what I said to you, auntie, was not lying. My family really doesn't want me anymore. The last time I saw them was a few years ago. Not more than five times a year—I've only had two phone calls since I was in an accident."

"What was the last time you said it?" the woman asked.

"The last time..." Qi Yu paused, remembering what his father had explained to him.

——[After the interview, make a call back...tell me if she has it. 】

"The last time I called my dad before I came to the hospital to see you," he slowly clenched his hands on his knees, and said word by word with difficulty, "I told him that I wanted to interview a mother, Ask her if she has any regrets..."

— regretted abandoning his child.

He didn't say the whole thing, but the woman understood in her heart, because Qi Jin had already asked her this question at that time.She turned her head and glanced at Shen Yan lightly. Shen Yan lowered her head and silently packed her luggage without making a sound, so she looked away again.

"What did your dad say?" Her voice sounded softer than normal.

"He asked me to tell him the result after the interview."

But...the so-called interview was not a real interview, and he didn't even know if he could continue the conversation with the woman, so he neither agreed nor refused.This matter has been dragged on until now and has not been implemented.

The reason why it is not implemented is not only because of the woman, but more importantly because of the father's motivation.

"I think my father probably wants me to hear it with my own ears... Tell me you don't regret it."

This proves that his own "no regrets" is correct.

This proves that the son is just self-indulgent.

Qi Jin wanted to laugh at herself, but felt that the corners of her mouth were frozen, and she couldn't lift it up.If that's the case... Then I would rather never return this call for the rest of my life, lest I get a slap in the face and be ridiculed and throw a rock at my foot.

The woman remained silent for a while.

Just when Qi Min thought the topic was over, her following words stunned him a little: "Call your father back, and if you get through, tell him...the mother you interviewed had something she wanted to say to him .”

When Shen Yan heard this, she stopped the movement of her hands and took a deep look at the woman.

The woman didn't say anything more, she just urged Qi Min lightly: "Let's fight."

It took Qi Min a few seconds to react from the astonishment, not knowing what to do for a while, she subconsciously cast a confused look at Shen Yan.At this time, Shen Yan gently looked away from the woman, and nodded towards him.

Qi Min remained silent, and took a while to slowly take out the phone, and found the number that he hadn't used a few times over the years, but he hadn't forgotten a single digit.He failed to press the green microphone button twice, and finally pressed the right place when he pressed it for the third time, and then he found that the "beep-beep-" sound during the connection could no longer cover him, and he began to rush Get up and breathe.

With a "click", it seemed that someone on the other side picked up the microphone.

"Hey?"

Qi Min trembled slightly—it was his father.The landline at home has a caller ID, so my mobile phone number must also be on it... I don’t know if my father saw it before answering the call.

The answer is yes.

Because the father's voice sounded like the damp and dreary air before the rainy day, there was a faint oppressive force, and before he could speak, he asked coldly: "...you need so long for an interview? Why? Are you calling now?"

Qi Jin opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Qi Jin's father seemed to withdraw his sharpness a little bit, and stayed silent with him, coughing twice from time to time because of his chronic pharyngitis.

"I, the mother I interviewed... want to talk to you."

After a long time, he said this sentence blankly, and without waiting for any reaction from his father, he directly handed the phone to the woman.

The woman took it without saying a word, and slowly put it to her ear.

"Mr. Qi, hello." After greeting her, she said straight to the point, "I am the mother who was being interviewed, and I am making this call next to my own son... I have a few words to say to you."
