prefer silence

I turned on my phone, and a video call from Chen Zheng was displayed on the top of the floating window.

Click to receive, Chen Zheng's handsome face appeared on the screen, he was wearing blue-gray home pajamas, his face was very ugly.

In the small window, my face was covered with tears, and I looked embarrassed.

Chen Zheng opened his mouth first: "Are you in the hotel now? Are you injured?"

I sobbed twice, "I'm in the hotel and I'm not injured, thanks to Brother Yu for saving me."

"Okay, then tell me the whole thing from beginning to end."

I started talking with Yu Qingshan and I went to Fangfang's house last night, and ended with sending Fangfang to the hospital.

"Brother Zheng, I'm afraid, and I regret it, I regret being so impulsive at the time, I just got hot, I thought she is my own sister, I can't let her die. But I almost couldn't see you, almost I can't come back, I regret..."

On the one hand is the sister who has not seen her face for a long time, and on the other is the lover and family who have been with her all her life. After I calmed down a little, I have already made a choice.

"You should regret it, do you think about me...even if you don't want me, you still have to think about your parents. If we lose you...I regret it too, regret letting you go to her, regret not being with you Let's go." We looked at each other through the screen, Chen Zheng seemed to be angry, he blocked the phone camera, his voice trembling slightly, "You just scared me to death, Yuan Yuan."

"Brother Zheng, I was wrong, I'm sorry..." I didn't know what to say, there was a moment of silence with a dark screen, I called Chen Zheng's name in a panic, "Brother Zheng, brother Zheng?"

Still silent.

Chen Zheng ignored me, I was a little wronged, obviously I was the one who almost died, yet he still ignored me. "Coax me, I can't sleep, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow. Coax me, brother Zheng..."

"How to coax you?" Chen Zheng said in a fierce tone, "If you still want me to coax you, I should punish you."

I hid under the quilt and muffled: "You can't do this."

"I can."

"you can not."

"Of course I can."

"you can not!"

"See if I can." Chen Zheng didn't argue with me anymore, "Okay, we'll talk about it later. You should go to bed now, I won't hang up, you put your phone next to the pillow. Just this time, before going to bed at night The phone must be turned off, do you hear me?"

I pursed my lips and smiled, "Well, there is radiation, I know, just this time."

Chen Zheng is a strict shut-down party. He set up an automatic switch, and urged me to do the same. Sometimes I intentionally acted in the opposite direction, just to see his elongated face when he was angry.

At that time, he was angry because he cared about me, so I was not sad, but happy.

I persistently searched for Chen Zheng's differences and compromises with me, as evidence of his love for me.

He said that he loved me, and I believed in him, and I kept going back and forth in this belated and misty love, sinking deeper and deeper, until it was thousands of meters below, silent.

I don't ask him why his phone is not turned off so late, why he can still receive my call at three o'clock in the morning, if I love him too, I should know the answer.

I might know.

……

Thanks to Chen Zheng, I managed to sleep for a few hours.In the morning, the hospital called to tell me that Fangfang had woken up, and I hurriedly washed my face and rushed over.

The single ward of the small town hospital is not too big. When I entered, a nurse stood beside her and said something to Fangfang. When she saw me coming, she showed a relaxed expression, "Hey, Mr. Li, you are here. Ask her daughter, I don't know where her daughter is."

"It's okay, thank you, you go first."

The nurse left, Fangfang was lying on the hospital bed, her face was pale, she should have recognized me as the person who stopped her husband last night.

She didn't dare to look at me, her eyes kept evasive, but her mouth didn't stop, "Thank you, good man, you are such a good man, you saved my life!" She chanted these few sentences back and forth, and finally cut to the point, "That's right, good man, do you know where my daughter has gone? Is she still at home?"

"No, the people at the police station took your daughter out temporarily. Then what, let me call you Sister Fang, do you have any other relatives in your family? The child is not good and will be kept in the police station."

"I know, I know, yes, the child's father has a big brother, let the police comrades ask him, is it okay to ask him to take him in for a few days? If I ask him, he may not agree..." What did the woman on the bed think of again? , his face turned red, and he looked very ashamed, "I heard from the nurse that you paid the hospitalization money, but I don't have two money on hand, can you pay it back after a while?"

I shook my head, and my eyes drifted to the hanging bottle standing by the bed, which should be a new drip bottle just installed. "It's not a few thousand dollars. If you are in trouble, you don't have to pay me back. I... I am a foreigner. I came here to relax and leave in two days. So, you don't have to worry about money. .”

Fangfang's eyes were red, "Good man, good man, young man, you are such a good man, I really don't know how to thank you."

When I heard this, I felt very uncomfortable.The woman opposite is my own older sister. I dare not recognize her, dare not tell the truth, for fear of adding unnecessary troubles and burdens.I have guilt and resentment, and I cannot accept her great gratitude to me with peace of mind.

For me, Chen Zheng, my parents, none of them are more important than Fangfang.I want to live my previous life in peace and stability, and this sudden situation cannot happen again.

"It's really okay, Sister Fang, do you have someone you know who can take care of you? You need someone to take care of you in the hospital." Seeing Fangfang's embarrassed expression, I had expected this result, "Maybe I will invite you to take care of me." A nurse, you don’t need to pay for it.”

"Oh, that's really troublesome for you. I don't need a nurse. How can it be so expensive?"

I laughed: "Sister Fang, how do you eat and go to the bathroom? The nurses in the hospital don't care about these things. Don't worry, it won't cost much to hire a nurse."

Fangfang said thank you again and again, and I remembered that it was still morning, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm going to buy some porridge? I just didn't eat either."

Knowing that she wanted to be polite, I didn't wait for her reply, and asked the nurse directly: "Can Zhou Meifang have porridge in her current situation?"

"Okay, white porridge, don't eat oil."

As soon as I came out of the hospital, there was a row of breakfast shops opposite. I hurriedly ate soy milk and fried dough sticks, and went back with the packed white rice porridge.

Fangfang murmured on the porridge, her attitude became enthusiastic, and she was not outrageous at all, "Young man, I felt very kind when I saw you at the vegetable stand. Sure enough, we are destined. I must have accumulated a lot of merit in my previous life. I just met you in my life."

Think I'm kind and still sell my stale cabbage?I'm not stupid. Through other people's words and my own experience, I definitely realized that my sister Zhou Meifang has moral defects.

But I am willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb to ignore this layer, because the shelter and warmth she once brought me is also real.

Although she herself may not remember.

The author says:

Yuan Yuan's character defect: Subconscious escape, the same with Zheng Ge, and the same with her sister.
