Warm Water Spirits

I couldn't get up in the morning.

Aunt Song knocked on the door and yelled for a long time, but Jiang Yunqi couldn't hear clearly under the quilt. When she pulled down the quilt, the mobile phone "clanged" and fell to the floor, which shocked Aunt Song outside the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yunqi lying on the edge of the bed with his messy hair looking for his phone.It looks like I must have slept with my hair dry last night.

Aunt Song put on a straight face, walked over to pick up her phone and put it on the bedside table, and asked Jiang Yunqi, who was looking up at her, "What time did you go to bed?"

Shui Lan blinked his eyes, Jiang Yunqi lowered his eyes and faltered a few times, glanced to the side, and then whispered while pulling the quilt: "Brother Pei taught me... I could have slept earlier..."

Aunt Song wanted to laugh a little: "Then I'll ask Mr. Pei when he comes back."

Jiang Yunqi immediately raised his head: "No way? Brother Pei doesn't know when he will be back..."

Thin arms and legs, thinner than when I left home.In the morning, the sun is thin, as if shining in through a layer of fog.It is not the usual clear sky in Jiangzhou, today is a cloudy day.

The heating in the room was too high, so Jiang Yunqi wore a cotton T-shirt with shorts. He would blow his nose, and his dazzlingly white calves were pulling slippers back and forth under the bed.

Aunt Song was reluctant to talk about him, and combed Jiang Yunqi's hair back with five fingers, revealing a small piece of smooth forehead: "Would you like to sleep again? Sui didn't get up early like you."

Jiang Yunqi shook his head, blew his nose again, and said in a low voice, "Let's go early. I'll bring him breakfast." After a long time without picking up his slippers, Jiang Yunqi bent over to look under the bed.

Aunt Song stared at Jiang Yunqi's flexible back neck, stretched out her hand to test the temperature, smiled and said nothing.

After washing up, I feel refreshed.

Aunt Song originally went together, but Wen Yi had to get vaccinated today, and the appointment time was relatively late. Later, she had to go to Pei Yue's house first, and pick up Wen Wen, who was tortured by the final exam and cried.

"I have been going out for a long time...Your sister Pei Yue said that you are not allowed to go out unless you finish the exam, and I have to hide it..." Aunt Song watched Jiang Yunqi drink porridge and eat purple potato cake, while peeling tea eggs.

Jiang Yunqi couldn't help laughing: "Wenwen is so miserable." The sentence was vague, and she was still chewing on the soft glutinous potato cake.

Aunt Song put the peeled egg into the spoon, and seeing Jiang Yunqi's appearance as someone who came here, it was funny: "Also talk about her. Then who can't write an [-]-character composition?"

Jiang Yunqi was quite proud of the rewards of hard work, he took a bite of the tender and slippery egg, and said, "But I finally wrote it!"

Aunt Song reminded: "Five elements are still short."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Before leaving, Aunt Song went to Pei Zhe's room to find a scarf, but none of the scarves she took to S City came back.Jiang Yunqi is always like this, packing up and throwing things away, there are many duplicate clothes and items in the two nests.

Aunt Song called people over: "If Mr. Pei didn't have a few more here, I'll see how you go out. I bought so many at the beginning and thought I could wear them for a few years. It's only been a while, and one of them is gone."

Jiang Yunqi doesn't like to wear turtleneck sweaters, but Jiangzhou is very windy in winter, and if he is not fully armed, the cold wind can blow from the beginning to the end in a few seconds.

Aunt Song put a scarf on Jiang Yunqi, and said: "A Sui didn't tell you there must be a reason for him. Don't ask directly when you go, just tell him to come back to see him. The timing is just right. I heard Cuo said that he seems to have found a place to live. , you follow, it's not suitable for him to go home and live at home, don't go out alone."

Jiang Yunqi nodded, stretched out his fingers and gently stroked Aunt Song's curly hair.

Aunt Song put it on for him, raised her hand to slap her paws away, took a few steps back and looked at it, worried: "Why don't you wear a thin down jacket inside?" Then she reached out to touch the cuff of Jiang Yunqi's down jacket: "This long , but if you don’t put it on, you still need to wear some—”

Jiang Yunqi doesn't want to wear it anymore, the room is already hot, he will be so hot now, he casually said "hmmm" two perfunctory words, Jiang Yunqi picked up the insulation box prepared by Aunt Song on the low cabinet in the entrance, turned around and opened the door Escape: "I'll bring him back for dinner tonight!"

Aunt Song frowned and said nothing, trying to pull him back and put on another one.

Jiang Yunqi smiled: "I'm leaving!"

Aunt Song sighed, walked a few steps closer and asked habitually as before: "Do you have any money with you?"

Jiang Yunqi patted his pocket: "The mobile phone has cash. I just don't have the key." Jiang Yunqi smiled.

Aunt Song also laughed: "Your elder sister Pei Yue will also come tonight, let alone Wenwen will go out by then."

Jiang Yunqi: "No problem."

The leaves have almost fallen, and the ginkgo has long lost its original appearance, with bare branches and gray leaves.There was a gust of cold wind, and the fallen leaves that hadn't had time to be cleaned were swirling around his feet. Jiang Yunqi wrapped up his body and ran to the intersection to take a taxi. His forehead was blown cold by the wind, and he opened his mouth to breathe out a mouthful of white mist.

When we arrived at the Provincial People's Hospital, the wind officially picked up.Heads are blown off.

The hazy sky was blown clear in an instant, and the temperature dropped by three or four degrees.

When the whole wind rushed in front of him, Jiang Yunqi felt that he was about to freeze to death, so he put his head down and rushed all the way into the inpatient building with the insulated box in his arms, almost bumping into Pei Yue head-on.

"Yunqi." Pei Yue helped him up, looked at him intently, amused: "It's so cold? Don't you wear more? Why don't you wear a hat?" He touched the cuff like Aunt Song, and immediately frowned.

Jiang Yunqi opened his mouth and called "Sister Pei Yue", and took a few breaths. The heating in the hospital was normal, and it looked like 23 or [-] degrees. Jiang Yunqi slowed down, and said with a smile: "I'm here to find Ah Sui. He was discharged from the hospital today."

Pei Yue knew what he was here for, so she turned around and took him upstairs: "It's a coincidence that the meeting is probably being cleaned up—you go to the office with me first."

Jiang Yunqi was stunned: "Huh?"

Pei Yue glanced at him, reached out and pressed Jiang Yunqi's forehead, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Ice is like this. If you run out with so little clothes, Pei Zhe will definitely beat you up."

Jiang Yunqi didn't think it was possible, but thinking of the person who called him with harsh words last night, he didn't think it was impossible.

Jiang Yunqi didn't say a word, and obediently followed Pei Yue.

In the office, Pei Yue forced him to drink a whole glass of candied ginger water, sweating a little on his forehead, and Jiang Yunqi was let go.

When Ah Sui saw the person, Jiang Yunqi's cheeks were rosy, as if he had just run 100 meters.

The insulated box was stuffed in Ah Sui's arms, and Jiang Yunqi sat aside, lowered his head and was busy unfastening the scarf and pulling the down zipper.

Ah Sui was stunned for a while, and then asked, "Where did you come from?" He couldn't understand it.He who trusted the angels in white too much did not expect that the angels would connect in series.

Jiang Yunqi turned his face to stare at Ah Sui, because he had just sweated and his blue eyes were bright.

Ah Sui was flustered: "What, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yunqi preempted the enemy: "What are you doing?"

Ah Sui subconsciously: "What am I doing? I'm out——what are you doing!"

Jiang Yunqi snorted coldly: "Don't lie to me. I knew it when I came. Are you going to be discharged from the hospital?"

——Before leaving the house, I forgot all Aunt Song's instructions.

Ah Sui ignored him, put the thermos box on the table, and continued to pack his clothes while walking.

Jiang Yunqi, with a scarf hanging around his neck and his feathers open, followed immediately: "Speak."

Ah Sui sighed: "I'm bound to go to the hospital."

Jiang Yunqi: "Why didn't you tell me when you were discharged from the hospital? If it wasn't a coincidence, when would you like to tell me?"

——Although she forgot Aunt Song's advice, she still remembered Wen Cuo's request to keep it secret.

Ah Sui zipped his backpack, raised his head and said to Jiang Yunqi, "I didn't tell you. I just thought it would not be troublesome to go back and forth. I can do it myself. Don't worry about it. You will be younger than me tomorrow."

Jiang Yunqi didn't want to talk to him for the time being, and sat down beside the bed with a heavy face, with straight blue eyes, and began to look at Ah Sui carefully.

To be honest, I am fatter than when I saw it more than a month ago, and my skin color is no longer the paleness that has not recovered from a long illness. I am more energetic, and my stature has grown a bit at first glance.In the past, when walking, I always had to bend over and worry about assistive devices.

Although in general, Ah Sui's actions are still slower and awkward than those of people who have never been injured, but these can be adjusted little by little in the days to come.

A Sui is still the same A Sui.

After a while, Ah Sui started to put on his coat, and Jiang Yunqi looked at him: "You come home with me."

After saying this, Ah Sui turned to look at Jiang Yunqi, and said very simply, "I don't want it."

Jiang Yunqi: "Why? Aren't we a family?" Jiang Yunqi was also straightforward, playing the family card so caught off guard.

The two look at each other.Jiang Yunqi was extremely calm, and Jiang Sui's expression was blank without knowing what to say.

When he spoke again, Ah Sui was very strict: "Yes, yes...but I am already this old, and I still live with you? Can't I have my own space?"

This time it was Jiang Yunqi's turn to have a blank expression, hesitating for a few seconds: "You have a private room..."

A Sui smiled: "You are in a relationship with your brother, is a private room enough?"

These words are very meaningful.

No need to think about it, the experienced classmate Jiang Yunqi blushed.

Ah Sui shook his head and smiled "tsk tsk".

The wind was whistling outside the window, but the sky was very bright, the sky was bright blue, and there was not a trace of cloud or mist.

Jiang Yunqi slowly discovered that the Ah Sui in front of him was so different from the Ah Sui who fought with him in the hospital all day long and didn't think about anything, and was most entangled with Huo Xiangshu's feelings.

Although not long ago.

Later, at Jiang Yunqi's insistence, Ah Sui took him to the newly found residence.

On the way, Jiang Yunqi said: "I feel that you are a little different when you come back this time."

A Sui didn't look at him, he was facing one side of the car window, there was no good view in winter, what he saw was bleak.

But because Christmas is coming, the streets near the urban area have started to decorate one after another.Red and green alternate, the evergreen street trees are covered with small snowflakes and small bells, and a lush Christmas tree several meters high can be seen in front of the shopping mall building from a distance, but the surrounding area has not been fully arranged, which is a bit inconsistent.But it's always bright.

Ah Sui breathed on the window glass, and a small piece of white mist filled the air. He stretched out his hand and stroked it twice casually: "I don't know if I can succeed in the rehabilitation session, and I will count it as a day. How comfortable you are. That's Huo Xiangshu It's so annoying. Now that I'm out of the hospital, I have to think about how to live in the future."

Jiang Yunqi nodded and said nothing.

"It's not that I don't want to contact you, the main thing is that I didn't think about it myself. I won't not contact you."

Ah Sui lowered his eyes and stroked the pulp of his index finger that had just touched the glass a few times. It can't be said that he was preoccupied, but he was much more silent than when he was in the provincial hospital.

"Dr. Wen is a very nice person. He came to me a few days ago and asked me about my plans after leaving the hospital. I said to find a part-time job for the time being. What to do. Take your time... Later he suggested that I take the self-examination, saying that A diploma would make it easier to find a job...Actually, I've been thinking about this for the past few days. I just don't have a clue."

Ah Sui's tone was flat, and he planned to say a few words out of his mouth during this period of consideration.He said he had no idea, but Jiang Yunqi could imagine the bewilderment of Ah Sui who was facing the countdown to discharge from the hospital.

Jiang Yunqi blamed himself a little, he kept silent, and sat beside Ah Sui to accompany him.

A Sui was keenly aware, turned his head to look at him, and smiled at him: "Why this expression?"

Jiang Yunqi didn't look away, thought for a while and said, "I feel like you're a little unhappy, I should—"

A Sui rolled his eyes and exaggerated: "I will work in the future! Who will be happy at work!"

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

The car left the urban area for a few minutes and stopped in front of a not-too-old neighborhood.

Jiang Yunqi remembered: "How did you find a place to live? You can't come out."

Ah Sui thanked the driver, got out of the car and went to the trunk to get the luggage, Jiang Yunqi helped.

A Sui said: "Dr. The doctor asked for me. Because we are acquaintances, the rent has been reduced a bit, which is quite cheap."

Jiang Yunqi turned his head and looked around: "It's not far from the city..."

A Sui followed him and looked back: "Maybe the house is old. Let's go up and have a look."

After asking the guard, I went all the way in and walked through three fork roads before I found Building 56 where A Sui was.

An ordinary eight-storey residence, the walls have been repainted, grayish yellow grayish yellow.

Jiang Yunqi remembered it as if it was two years ago.Refurbishment of old neighborhoods.At that time, Pei Yue talked about this matter at the dinner table for a long time.Because the Provincial People's Hospital is at the end of an old residential area, there will be a lot of noise when it is renovated, and the hospital vacated a building for soundproofing.

Ah Sui lives on the fifth floor.

There was no elevator, so Jiang Yunqi carried the luggage up with him.

The corridor was narrow, and when the two of them reached the third floor, a person approached them and made them stand still for a long time.

until--

Huo Xiangshu frowned, looked at the two of them in turn, with an indifferent expression, and said coldly, "Please let me go."
