Warm Water Spirits

At ten o'clock on Monday morning, the torrential rain that the weather forecast said had not yet come, the sun was still shining brightly, and the floating cumulus clouds brought only a short period of gloom.

In the ward, the curtains were half drawn, and the scorching sun was blocked from the end of the bed to the opposite wall. Pei Zhe sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to comfort Jiang Yunqi, who was trembling and crying. open.Jiang Yunqi stopped crying after crying for a while. He didn't open his eyes properly. Like a nightmare, he grabbed Pei Zhe's shirt collar tightly with one hand and buried him in Pei Zhe's neck, sobbing.

The palm of his cheek touched Jiang Yunqi's hair upwards, and Pei Zhe lowered his head to kiss Jiang Yunqi's exposed forehead.Jiang Yunqi paused, and turned around from Pei Zhe's neck a few seconds later to look at Pei Zhe.The two looked at each other silently.Suddenly, when Pei Zhe said something, Jiang Yunqi raised his head and went to kiss Pei Zhe.

The corners of Pei Zhe's mouth were barely visible, and his eyes were extremely gentle. He wrapped his broad palm around the back of Jiang Yunqi's head and kissed him.

There is only each other in the sight, movement, and emotion shown, and they are only related to each other, so close that they can't blend into the third person at all.

Pei Yue thought that she had seen such intimacy in the amusement park.

At that time, she thought that Jiang Yunqi relied too much on Pei Zhe.

Right now, it's not.

Shock mixed with countless doubts and uncontrollable emotions made her have the urge to call Pei Zhe out immediately.

Pei Yue frowned and looked into the room, tightly gripping the doorknob——

Not far away, the elevator door opened with a slight sound.The pharmacy nurse came out with a pushcart, saw Pei Yue from a distance, and called out "Director Pei" in a brisk tone.

Pei Yue was stunned, and turned her head to look at the other party, as if she didn't know him.

Suddenly, the emotions that have rushed to the gate are like being wiped away by a blackboard eraser, and those strong words that want to understand immediately, or even question, are just blocked in the throat

——I don't know how to cross the blank space that was wiped out.

After a while, Pei Yue stood where he was, smiled slightly at his colleagues, and nodded in greeting.

The wheels whirled on the ground, the nurse entered one of the wards, and the door opened and closed.

The corridor was empty and quiet, Pei Yue maintained the posture of turning her head, and did not move for a long time.

After a long time, Pei Yue let go of the hand on the doorknob.

The sound of "Director Pei" in the corridor outside the door was not too loud, and it was very light in the ward, but Jiang Yunqi and Pei Zhe still heard it.

Jiang Yunqi froze for a moment, not daring to turn his head, his cheeks that were just a little hot were instantly cold.

Pei Zhe raised his eyes to look at Pei Yue who was looking at the corridor, then lowered his head again, and said softly, "It's okay. Don't think about Yun Qi, just sleep."

Tears got out of control again, Jiang Yunqi choked up, looked into Pei Zhe's dark eyes, helpless and flustered: "Sister Pei Yue is very angry?"

Pei Zhe smiled, the smile was gentle, and finally stayed in his eyes: "No. Yun Qi sleeps obediently."

Jiang Yunqi didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to do anything else, so he could only listen to Pei Zhe's words and close his eyes.Even if the heart is already turbulent at the moment.

The fear of losing Pei Zhe and the uneasiness of offending Pei Yue made Jiang Yunqi unable to hold back his tears.

Pei Zhe touched Jiang Yunqi's almost drenched cheek, and sighed, "Don't cry. Yun Qi is good."

Jiang Yunqi cried too much these days, and Pei Che was worried that his eyes would be damaged from crying, so he lightly touched Jiang Yunqi's red eyelids from crying with his fingertips.

Jiang Yunqi closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go find Sister Pei Yue..."

His mind went blank, he couldn't think of any other way, "going to Pei Yue" was like the only choice at the end of the road, a choice with no results.

I could have proceeded step by step and found a suitable time and occasion... I told Pei Yue that I won the championship before, but I was shattered by the sudden change.Right now, Jiang Yunqi only feels that Pei Yue who suddenly faced all this must be extremely angry and disappointed...

——Pei Yue would not agree.

This thought echoed clearly in his mind over and over again, and Jiang Yunqi was so sad that he wanted to open his eyes again.

Suddenly a palm was covered in front of his eyes, wide and warm, and Pei Che's soft but determined voice came from the darkness, like spring water breaking through the ice, but the gurgling stream was unstoppable tenacity: "Yun Qi sleep well, wake up we will go .”

"Nothing will change. Brother Pei loves you."

Pei Zhe wiped the tears from the corners of Jiang Yunqi's eyes.

After a while, Jiang Yunqi, who was exhausted from crying, nodded his head twice, his overwhelmed and fragile nerves were exhausted to the extreme.

Jiang Yunqi kept sinking in sleepiness.

When he raised his head again, Pei Yue was no longer visible outside the door. Pei Zhe sat still, and looked out the window in a blink of an eye. The sun was getting darker and the wind was getting louder, as if it was going to rain.

Pei Zhe remembered the weather forecast that Pei Yue told at home yesterday, and after a while, he leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes and didn't know what to think.

As noon approached, the sky changed rapidly.

After greeting his colleagues, Pei Yue turned and went back to the office.

He went in a hurry when he answered Wencuo's phone call, and there were meeting minutes and shift schedules spread out on the table.

Pei Yue sat down to tidy up, during which a few colleagues walked in and said about ordering takeout for lunch, and called "Director Pei" several times before Pei Yue looked up from the desk.

The colleague smiled and said, "Busy? Director Pei doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Monday is always the busiest, and Director Pei pays attention to his body." Then he got up and went to the water dispenser to get water, and changed Pei Yue's cup of hot water by the way.

Pei Yue thanked her in a low voice.

Another colleague lowered his head and lit on the delivery software, and said with a smile: "Wen Yi is one year old, right? At this time, children are the most troublesome, and Doctor Wen won't share it!"

Pei Yue said: "It's one year old next month, I'll treat you to dinner then."

The colleague who ordered the takeaway looked up and smiled: "Okay! I haven't seen your eldest lady for a long time! She has a small mouth! She is cute!" As he remembered something, the smile on his face grew wider, and his tone went gossip: "By the way, Pei Director, that younger brother of your foreign affairs department is still single?"

Pei Yue paused.

The colleague who received the water glanced at her, amused: "What do you want to do? You are a serious department head, don't make fools."

"What can I do? I'm here to see if there is any hope!" The colleague smiled.

Pei Yue looked down at the densely packed department duty list and the horizontal and vertical black frame lines in front of her, and said nothing.

Laughter before the lunch break, can be considered a sneak in.The colleague who ordered takeaway put down his mobile phone and leaned on the back of the chair, glared at the other colleague, then went to see Pei Yue again, and said with a smile: "Director Pei, to tell you the truth, I have a niece who came back from abroad. Let me show you the photos. I was studying abroad before, and I read it to the top, and I came back to work in the TV station last month—"

"Thank you, my brother has a partner."

Pei Yue grabbed the cup and took a sip. The water was a little hot, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

This kind of calm is not acceptance, but calm thinking after trying to find a way after the emotions have cooled down.

Even though she said that Pei Zhe has a partner.

A few seconds after he finished speaking, Pei Yue was distracted, and then apologized, and said to the two colleagues who were stunned: "He didn't tell me, it's probably not stable, and I just...knew about it."

It's so straightforward that others can't say anything.Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is always a rejection.

However, the colleagues who ordered takeaways just chatted casually with a joking attitude, and didn't really want to get married, it was purely because the atmosphere got to the point of talking nonsense.

"Order takeaway!"

The colleague who picked up the water came forward and brought his mobile phone: "What does Director Pei eat? Udon noodles last time? I think their sour soup fat beef is also very popular, why don't we try this now?"

"Give me that hot spring egg spinach salad, the meat on my stomach will lose weight..."

"Didn't you order it? Order it yourself!"

Pei Yue got up and smiled: "My younger brother is sick, I'll go to the cafeteria to make some light food, you guys can order."

Seeing this, colleagues asked a few more questions.

It has started to rain.Crackling on the window.

There was no one on the curved corridor leading from the side door on the first floor to the cafeteria.

In this kind of weather, everyone is too lazy to go to the cafeteria. They either order takeout to solve the problem, or take out snacks in the department drawers.

Pei Yue put her hands in her pockets, the rain that came in quickly wet the hem of her trousers, Pei Yue looked down at the wet ground and walked faster.

The scene of meeting Jiang Yunqi for the first time is still in my mind.

She was thin and small, pale and weak, and she couldn't find a well-fitting hospital gown at all. She wore the smallest size on her body, and there was an extra part of the cuff.

Pei Yue rolled up his cuffs for him.

Jiang Yunqi just stared at her, as if he didn't understand what she was doing.

Pei Yue took out her mobile phone and clicked on Pei Zhe, who was tall and handsome in military uniform in the photo album, and asked with a smile if she recognized Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi reacted a little quickly, nodded, his blue eyes fixed on the phone, and then nodded twice.

Pei Yue couldn't help but laugh, thinking that the little brother he picked up was dumb and cute.

Later, Wen Cuo lied and told her that the most fatal wound on Pei Zhe's body was stabbed by Jiang Yunqi with a dagger in his hand.

Pei Yue never went to the hospital to see Jiang Yunqi again.

The rain was pouring, and when Pei Yue went to the cafeteria, she found that there were still very few people and the small kitchen was empty.

Most doctors have a bad stomach, and they are often reluctant to eat heavy oil and salt in the cafeteria when they are free. It is healthier to cook by themselves, so the hospital has specially equipped several small kitchens for doctors and nurses to cook for themselves.

Pei Yue took a few items from the fresh cabinet, and swiped her card to enter the kitchen.

Just now, after a quick glance at the door and window, Pei Yue found that Jiang Yunqi was too thin even though it was far away, not like the "too tired" that Pei Zhe said yesterday.In addition, Wen Cuo said on the phone that the fever was caused by the medicine, and while peeling the shells and removing the meat from the shrimp, Pei Yue thought that Jiang Yunqi must be sick.

It's just why Pei Zhe didn't tell her yesterday.

The cut shrimp heads are put into the pan and fried with oil and garlic, and the shrimp oil is full of fragrance.Cut the tofu into small cubes, add water and shrimp meat to cook in a pot, and cover with a lid.

……When did it start.Are the two really together?What the hell is Pei Zhe thinking?

At first, Pei Yue thought about these problems.

The spinach was fried very quickly, and Pei Yue put it into the heat preservation box directly after cooking.

Beat the eggs and pour warm water with salt and oil. Pei Yue boiled the water in another pot and started steaming the eggs.

We'll be together in the amusement park then, Pei Yue suddenly thought.

So intimate, under the shade of a tree, spoiled endlessly, in the secret room and Wenwen, Jiang Yunqi did not hesitate to jump on Pei Zhe, it was completely subconscious——

No, it should be earlier.

Pei Yue remembered that the two of them went to Rome to play during the Chinese New Year, and they had dinner together when they came back. Pei Zhe fed Jiang Yunqi half a bowl of shrimp, and Jiang Yunqi blushed.

Pei Yue turned off the fire, sprinkled green onion on the steamed eggs, covered them and simmered for a few minutes.

The scene seen at the door of the ward came into mind again.

Pei Zhe's love and distress have long been beyond words, and every action expresses how much he cares about Jiang Yunqi.Pei Yue had never seen Pei Zhe who poured his emotions into a person like this.

The rice is ready-made, and when you open the rice cooker, you will see a white mist and a fragrant fragrance.

Pei Yue filled two boxes of rice, shrimp tofu soup and egg custard in separate glass lunch boxes, and put them in bags together with spinach. Pei Yue went back to the tenth floor.

It didn't take much effort to have a meal. When Pei Yue arrived, Pei Zhe was still sitting on the chair, and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

The windows were closed tightly, blocking out most of the sound of the torrential rain.The curtains were all drawn, and the lights in the room were not turned on, making it appear ambiguous and natural.

"What time is it? If you don't eat, Yun Qi always wants to eat?"

Pei Yue put the lunch box on the table and said softly.

Pei Zhe opened his eyes to look at Pei Yue, his eyes were dark, and after a while he went to look at Jiang Yunqi who was asleep, rubbed Jiang Yunqi's unsteady brows, and said in a low voice, "Sister."

Pei Yue watched his movements: "Let's eat first."

Pei Zhe: "I have no appetite. Let's eat later."

"Do you want to talk to me, sister."

Pei Yue looked at him and said nothing.

The house fell silent.

The sound of rain outside was muffled continuously.

Sudden--

A few extremely dazzling lightning flashed across, and a "thunder" sound of thunder seemed to be right next to my ear.

Almost subconsciously, Pei Zhe immediately went to see Jiang Yunqi, with a rare nervousness flashing across his expression.

Pei Yue stared at her younger brother, her eyes suddenly became sore.

Jiang Yunqi's nerves were already fragile, so he was awakened by fright. When he opened his eyes and saw Pei Yue, he was stunned.

Without even thinking about it, Pei Zhe leaned over and pressed him into his arms, and whispered softly, "Yun Qi is not afraid. Sister Pei Yue cooked, is Yun Qi hungry?"

After a while, Jiang Yun poked his head out of Pei Zhe's shoulder, looked at Pei Yue who was a few steps away, and called out in a low voice, "Sister Pei Yue."

Pei Yue looked away, Jiang Yunqi looked sick.

The sound of thunder is faint, implying the next wave of thunder.

For a moment no one spoke.

Jiang Yunqi just looked at Pei Yue like this, tears were about to fall again, but they stopped.Jiang Yunqi felt that it was better not to cry at this time.

Pei Yue took a deep breath, then turned her head and was about to say something to Jiang Yunqi when she saw Jiang Yunqi looking at her sadly.

Jiang Yunqi didn't know he woke up and thought he had a real dream.In the dream, Pei Yue stood in front of him like this, making him have to leave Pei Zhe.

Just like that time at the school gate.

Pei Yue told him that he should leave Pei Zhe and live his own life.

Unable to take it with his eyes, Jiang Yunqi lowered his head and wiped his tears on Pei Zhe's shoulder. After a long time, he raised his head and sobbed. He wanted to have a good talk with Pei Yue, but the words were still incoherent.

Finally, Jiang Yunqi said: "Sister Pei Yue, please..."

"Can you give me Brother Pei?"

"I only want him in this life."

"In my next life, I swear, I will stay far away from him... I won't even touch him, I swear..."

"Sister Pei Yue..."

Pei Zhe seemed to be frozen.

Pei Yue looked at the delirious Jiang Yunqi and burst into tears.
