very partial

The only cat that witnessed the whole process, after realizing that the human staring at him was not a threat, continued to patrol his territory swaggeringly. It had no interest in the emotional entanglements between humans.

It's just that some don't quite understand why the master pretends to be asleep.

So it jumped onto the sofa, squatted gracefully there and barked twice.

Perhaps it was to give the master who pretended to be asleep a reasonable excuse to wake up.

Sure enough, Jiang Wanqiu woke up at the right time when she heard the cat meowing.

The other party was leaning on his shoulder, Ji Xia first felt that some of the strength from his shoulder had been relieved, and after a while he sat up, and raised his hand to support his head.

"Hmm... I seem to have fallen asleep by accident." Jiang Wanqiu opened her hazy eyes, looked around for a while, and finally landed on the cat on the sofa, "Boob, you woke me up ?”

Boo Boo said "meow" twice.

I don't know what I'm expressing, maybe it's a protest.

Jiang Wanqiu didn't pay any attention to it, instead she turned her head to look at Ji Xia and rubbed her eyes along the way.

"Did I sleep for a long time?" she asked, looking bleary-eyed as if she had just been woken up by the meowing of a cat.

Acting has to be a complete set. Although Jiang Wanqiu hasn't acted much, she knows the essence of it well. She didn't plan to expose what happened just now, so she wouldn't let Ji Xia find out that she was pretending to sleep.

"Not long, just..." Ji Xia's eyes fell on the snow-white curtain, and saw that the movie had already started playing the ending song, "The movie is over."

The end of the movie meant that the evening was pretty much over, and she didn't finish the story.

After finishing speaking, Ji Xia reached out and took the water glass on the coffee table to his mouth and took a sip, and moved his shoulders lightly along the way——Jiang Wanqiu's head was not heavy, but maintaining a posture for a long time also made people feel strenuous .

She thought to herself that it's a good thing the cat didn't bark when she was doing "that kind of thing", otherwise she might be caught straight, although she didn't do anything after thinking about it...the confidence in her heart came back.

Of course Ji Xia didn't know that Jiang Wanqiu was pretending to be asleep, and the other party knew everything that happened just now.

Both of them had different thoughts in their hearts, whitewashing the peace.

"It's almost time. If you don't go back, the family will be worried." After a while, she opened her mouth and ended the silence.

"Then I'll take it to you."

…………

Jiang Wanqiu sent the man to the gate of the community, called a taxi, watched the girl leave, and when the car disappeared at the end of the road, she turned around and started walking back.

She walked for about 5 minutes from the gate of the community to her home, thinking about what happened on the sofa in the living room. When she opened the door and returned home, the kitten was squatting. Eating his own cat food in front of his own cat bowl.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, it glanced back, then lowered its head and continued to eat.

With a haughty look, it was as if Jiang Wanqiu was a cloud of air.

But the consequence of doing so was that he was quickly carried away from the bowl, and was carried by Jiang Wanqiu onto his lap.

"Boob, what did you see just now?" The woman stretched out her fingertips and tapped the kitten's nose, but it was quickly avoided.

Bubu didn't want to respond to her intentions, seeing that he couldn't escape the claws of human beings, he just started to lick his fur, but Jiang Wanqiu's soliloquy didn't stop there.

She looked at the kitten in front of her with flickering eyes.

"you say……"

"Does she want to kiss me?"

Jiang Wanqiu has been thinking about this question.

She was indeed asleep at first, but she slept very lightly, so when Ji Xia moved her body lightly, she had already woken up, but she didn't open her eyes, so she didn't know the situation at that time.

With her eyes closed, she could only guess Ji Xia's behavior by feeling.

Jiang Wanqiu could sense Ji Xia's approach, but she didn't know exactly how close, she only knew that the distance was enough for her to clearly feel Ji Xia's disordered breathing.

But if you really want to kiss, why didn't you take action after wandering around for so long?

This question is doomed to be unanswered, and the only creature who knows what happened may be the cat in front of him.

Unfortunately, it doesn't care about anything but eating and sleeping.

After returning home, Ji Xia could hear Jiang Wanqiu's name from the mouths of the elders in the family for several days. Almost everything they said revolved around one central idea, which was praise.

Ji Xia never knew that his father could say more than ten different words in succession to praise Jiang Wanqiu in such a literate manner.

The young doctor is beautiful and gentle. Ji Zhengyuan asked his daughter more than once how the two met, but they couldn't find out why. Ji Xia only said that it was when he went back to his hometown to study in the third year of junior high I know each other, and said that the other party had a relationship with his cousin.

This fact almost shocked Ji Zhengyuan's jaw, he never thought that there was such a relationship in it.

After finally digesting it, I suddenly remembered another thing——

"By the way, your aunt called me two days ago and said that your cousin will be transferred back to the city in two weeks." Speaking of this, Ji Zhengyuan suddenly remembered something, "We have to have dinner together then , you brothers and sisters should also get in touch with each other, and you usually have nothing to do to move around."

People of the previous generation valued this blood relationship the most.

Ji Xia perfunctorily agreed.

Although they are cousins, Zhang Jiawen is nearly nine years older than Ji Xia. A few years ago, he passed the government examination as a civil servant and was transferred to a nearby county to help the poor. Now he is finally coming back.

The relationship between the cousins ​​is actually good, but Ji Xia doesn't look forward to his return.

Probably because of Jiang Wanqiu's existence?

Ji Xia didn't think about this issue carefully.

Ruan Xiaoling's foot injury is not a big problem, it's just sprained and swollen and looks terrible. She didn't hurt her bones and needs rest, but it's not easy to cook during this time.

So in his spare time, Ji Xia simply picked up his cooking skills and tried cooking again.

It's just that this point was strongly opposed by the two parents. Ji Zhengyuan directly spent money to invite an aunt to come back to cook for the family, but it couldn't stop Ji Xia from already becoming interested in cooking, and occasionally sneaked into the kitchen to start studying cooking Skill.

So much so that Jiang Wanqiu and Jiang Wanqiu also talked about this topic in their daily chats, and the other party half-jokingly said that he wanted to try Ji Xia's craftsmanship.

The speaker had no intentions, but the listener had intentions. As a result, at noon the next day, Ji Xia took the stewed chestnut chicken to the Central Hospital to visit the class. The chicken soup was packed in a small and cute thermos bucket and placed in the schoolbag, which looked comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

When Jiang Wanqiu received the call and went out to pick up someone, he saw the girl standing there holding the thermos with both hands, she was obedient and quiet, she didn't know what she was thinking, and people passing by couldn't help but look back.

Ji Xia is confident when she is lively, and cute and cute when she is quiet.

Jiang Wanqiu then stopped not far away and looked at it for a while, then took out her mobile phone and quietly took a picture of such a scene, and then called to stop the other party.

During the lunch break at noon, there was a smell of rice in the hospital. Everyone stopped their work and started to eat lunch. There would be takeaway boys coming and going, and there were staff in the hospital cafeteria carrying lunch boxes. Sending it in, the cold hospital finally had a bit of fireworks at this time.

Jiang Wanqiu led the people through the aisle towards her office, and she inevitably encountered familiar doctors and nurses along the way.

When you come and go, you will inevitably have to ask a few more questions.

Especially when some doctors are carrying the simple boxed lunches from the cafeteria in their hands, and looking at the exquisite and lovely thermos bucket Ji Xia is holding in their hands, they can't help feeling sour: "Why didn't my mother give me such a beautiful and sensible child?" younger sister!"

"It's still too late to live now." Jiang Wanqiu's lips kept rising, and she almost wrote the word "proud" on her face.

In the end, whenever she met a familiar colleague, she would simply speak first.

——"My sister cooked soup and sent it to the hospital for me to drink."

The fact that Dr. Jiang had a good sister soon spread throughout the department from person to person.

"Sister, your tail is going to be raised." After finally leaving the area of ​​acquaintances, Ji Xia approached Jiang Wanqiu and said quietly, with a hint of teasing and ridicule in his voice.

But it's clear she's also enjoying being "shown off" herself.

It turns out that sometimes happiness comes so simple.

Stop and go all the way, they finally arrived at the office.

"I read the recipe by myself, and then Auntie Ruan gave me some guidance." Ji Xia opened the insulation box and explained while moving, but the smile on his face did not fade away, "Sister, try it."

There was a bit of expectation in the girl's voice.

But Jiang Wanqiu didn't move immediately, she opened her lips and was about to say something, at this moment——

"Aqiu, the cafeteria today..." Yi Yi opened the door and walked in, but her voice stopped abruptly the moment she saw Ji Xia.

She saw that the two people in the office got along very harmoniously, which made her suddenly have a strange idea that she was "somewhat redundant", as if her appearance broke this harmonious picture.

Indeed, Yi Yi's appearance made Ji Xia a little surprised.

But considering that the two work in the same hospital and grew up together, it is not surprising that they have lunch together.

"Sister Yi Yi." She then greeted the other party politely, looking well-behaved and sensible.

However, Yi Yi finds such "well-behaved and sensible" annoying and annoying, but it cannot be too obvious.

"..." Yi Yi glanced at Ji Xia, then at the cute insulated box on Jiang Wanqiu's desk, there was nothing she didn't understand.

only--

She squeezed the simple lunch box in her hand hard, her knuckles turned white.

"Are you here to deliver lunch to Qiu?" she asked.

The hospital was too busy, she and Jiang Wanqiu would have lunch together every day, but most of the time they ate meals from the hospital cafeteria.

The simple plastic packing box and the cute thermos bucket on the table formed a stark contrast, which made Yi Yi feel a little ironic.

"It's chicken soup." Jiang Wanqiu didn't notice that Yi Yi was emotionally wrong, she answered the question instead of Ji Xia, "I forgot to tell you that Ji Xia will come over at noon today, she is very interested in cooking recently, so today I specially Made soup and brought it over."

"Yes, stewed chicken soup with chestnuts." Ji Xia followed Jiang Wanqiu's words, and smiled sweetly, revealing the dimple on one side of his cheek, "Sister Yi Yi, come and see if it tastes good?"

When the words fell to the ground, Ji Xia's eyes glanced over the white knuckles of the other party, as if he had noticed something.

Perhaps because of the things Song Jun said as a premise, she always felt that Yi Yi was not a good person, so she didn't treat this person as casually as Zhou Zhou and the others, and she would pay attention to it deliberately.

Now she felt that this person might really be what Song Jun said.

From this point of view, Jiang Wanqiu was really surrounded by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Doctor Jiang, someone is looking for you!" At this moment, a yell came from far outside the corridor, Jiang Wanqiu got up immediately after hearing it, and walked outside.

"Doctor Jiang, you are well. Just now, my younger sister came to deliver soup, and now such a handsome boyfriend came to deliver lunch with flowers. If I were to do this, I would be so happy." Before he even reached the door, Jiang Wanqiu heard The little nurse leading the way made an envious voice.

Beside her, Zhou Yang stood there with a smile and looked towards him.

The boy is sunny and handsome, standing in the corridor with a height of 1.8 meters, the rate of turning heads is almost 100%.

For a moment, Jiang Wanqiu felt his head was getting bigger.

The nurse who led the way quickly left and went back to the nurse's station.

"I came to see you. I didn't know if you had lunch, so I bought a copy." Zhou Yang picked up the paper bag in his hand, and said, "There are flowers."

As the boy said, he stuffed the bouquet in Jiang Wanqiu's arms.

Jiang Wanqiu looked down at the bouquet in her arms, said nothing, and led her to the secluded stairwell.

There was a lot of movement in the corridor, and the door was half-open. The two people in the office could hear the conversation outside without any hindrance. For some reason, the appearance of the boy made Yi Yi feel relaxed. Quite a lot.

Then she put the two boxes of lunch on the desk and chatted with Ji Xia.

"The one outside just now is Ah Qiu's boyfriend, have you seen it?" the woman asked casually.

"Boyfriend?" Ji Xia frowned slightly, but quickly let go, "No."

She only asked about this when she was having dinner with Jiang Wanqiu two days ago. The other party only said that he was a suitor, not a "boyfriend". Ji Xia felt that there was a trap in Yi Yi's words, and she didn't want to jump into it.

But Yi Yi couldn't help but wanted to let her know.

He only heard the other party smile and then slowly opened his mouth: "The relationship I just confirmed recently is Zhou Zhou's distant cousin. Although he is a little younger, there is nothing to say about being nice to Ah Qiu."

"The family conditions are not bad, and the people are also gilded overseas."

"That's good." Ji Xia responded perfunctorily, already a little absent-minded.

Although she didn't believe Yi Yi's words at all, her mind was disturbed a bit. She was wondering where Jiang Wanqiu had gone.

Is it because he is still relatively young, even if he wants to cover up some things, he still can't stand Yi Yi's scrambling and careful observation.

Taking advantage of Jiang Wanqiu's absence, Yi Yi deliberately released as many disturbing news as possible to the girls, such as "Aqiu was still talking about when he was going to get married last year" and "wanted to fall in love", and asked Ji Xia to listen to it. I just feel that my heart is sinking inch by inch.

"By the way, if she gets married, she will definitely ask Ji Xia to be your bridesmaid, right?" Yi Yi seemed to suddenly think of something, and deliberately clicked on Ji Xia, "After all, she almost regards you as her own sister."

Yi Yi didn't know if Ji Xia really meant that to Jiang Wanqiu, but she knew that if it was true, what she just said would undoubtedly be the biggest blow to the girl.

Because these were problems that troubled her for a long time, she knew how uncomfortable it was.

Jiang Wanqiu is a straight daughter and likes men. This is the reality she has recognized for so many years, so she is willing to accompany him as a friend, until the other party steps into the wedding hall, she will send her blessings.

But she would never allow another person to appear to influence Jiang Wanqiu's "straightness".

That's why there was so much hostility toward Ji Xia. After all, Jiang Wanqiu had never been so special to anyone, it made her very uneasy, even a little jealous.

Ji Xia wasn't so stupid, so she excused herself to go to the toilet and left this uncomfortable place.

But in Yi Yi's eyes, such behavior was tantamount to "running away". She subconsciously felt that the other party would never come back again, so she found a place to sit down and patiently waited for Jiang Wanqiu to come back.

Jiang Wanqiu went out for about 10 minutes, but when he came back, he found that Yi Yi was the only person left in the office. The thermos was still quietly placed on the desk as before, but the person who brought the thermos was gone.

"Where's Ji Xia?" she asked.

"It seems that there is something urgent to go back, and I don't know very well." Yi Yi lied very naturally, without any guilt, "I just ran out suddenly."

"I'll call her and ask." Hearing what Yi Yi said, Jiang Wanqiu pursed her lips and started touching her phone.

She didn't know what happened in the office just now, but she had some doubts whether Ji Xia was unhappy because of Zhou Yang's arrival just now, so she was a little worried.

And almost as soon as she was about to dial—

"Sister," the girl's clear voice sounded from the door, and Ji Xia raised her hand and gently pushed open the open door and walked in, with no unhappy expression on her face.

The two people in the office looked up at the same time, but the expressions on their faces were different.

Jiang Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but Yi Yi bit her lip quietly.

"Where have you been?" Jiang Wanqiu stepped forward and asked, she noticed that the girl was carrying something in both hands.

"I suddenly wanted to drink milk tea, so I ordered a takeaway and just went out to get it." Ji Xia casually made up a reason for Jiang Wanqiu, and then his eyes fell on another person in the office.

Yi Yi suddenly felt bad when she saw her.

Sure enough, after a while, the girl raised her foot and walked towards her, and finally stopped a little distance away from her.

"Lemon citron tea, add a few more slices of lemon according to Yi Yi's request." Ji Xia bent his eyes, took a cup of the drink in his hand and handed it to Yi Yi, "But you have to pay attention, it may be Very sour."
