lightly cooked

It was very late when I got home that night, and my parents left a birthday present in Fu Jia's room, a watch worth 10,000+.Fu Jia took a look and threw it into the drawer casually.

After taking a shower and climbing into bed, the sky outside the window was already bright, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long, long time.

That night, I told Ping Yanyan about this incident, hiding some confused thoughts in my heart, and only talked about the subsequent quarrel.

"Fu Jia, your words are too harsh. Do you think that buying him clothes is considered good to him, and he needs to be grateful? How is this different from those scumbags who give gifts to their girlfriends as charity?" Ping Yan The words hit the nail on the head.

He didn't know why he said that at the time, and he wanted to rush back and slap himself at the time, but what's the use?

I called that familiar number for several days and sent countless messages, but there was no response.

In the past, Xu Shuyuan wouldn't be like this when he was angry again, but Fu Jia really panicked.

Finally, I survived until the end of the on-site work, and I didn’t have to go to work with the client.On the day of returning to the institute, Fu Jia took the elevator to the 15th floor early in the morning and wandered around, holding the sandwiches and coffee she had bought.

Wang Songjian passed by him and backed away, looking up and down: "Looking for someone?"

"Is Manager Xu here?" He asked.

"Why don't you go in and see for yourself, it's not like the card of the fourth department can't open the door of the sixth department."

"Not very good." Fu Jia didn't say anything else, the sandwich in his hand was almost out of shape, "This is the breakfast someone bought for him, please bring it to him for me, thank you."

"All right." Wang Songjian gave him a strange look.

After waiting and waiting, before Xu Shuyuan came out, he had to go downstairs.

Back in the department, Pei Xiaoou exclaimed as soon as he saw him: "What did you do on the weekend? Why are you getting such heavy dark circles?" He shook his head, pulled out his chair and sat down for a while before starting to work.

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but Qiu Yue's condition is very good.The long table of their group was behind Fu Jia, and the chairs were next to each other, so Fu Jia could hear him speaking with great anger.

During lunch time, someone asked Qiu Yue to have dinner, and he said he would go to the 15th floor to find Xu Shuyuan.After hearing this, Fu Jia lowered his face and followed him out, and asked him in the elevator: "Can I have dinner with you?"

"What?" Qiu Yue put his hands in his trouser pockets and examined his face, "I heard that right, you want to eat with me."

"It's not with you, it's with Xu Shuyuan." Fu Jia shook his head, and he didn't want to be stubborn anymore, "We didn't have a good fight because of some things, I want to take the opportunity of dinner to apologize to him, can you help help me."

"Do I look sick?" Qiu Yue pointed to himself.

Fu Jia didn't know why.

Qiu Yue brushed him away and said, "Shuyuan is my best friend, let me help you harm him unless I'm sick. Warn you to stay away from him."

"But I-"

It would be hard not to see him, and panic if not to hear his voice.Is this like it?If so, did I wake up too late?

Fu Jia went downstairs to breathe in a daze, but unexpectedly bumped into Wang Songjian.Wang Songjian was puffing and puffing in the smoking area. When he saw him from a distance, he raised his hand and said hello: "Hey! Four."

In fact, he hated the smell of cigarettes the most, but now he walked over and called Manager Wang.

"I'm sorry this morning, I let you eat your breakfast. I'll transfer you how much it is."

"No need." Fu Jia reluctantly raised the corner of her mouth, her heart was empty, "Manager Xu didn't come?"

"It's not that he didn't come, he said he didn't have an appetite." Wang Songjian waved his hand, "Don't mention it, he's been miserable recently. There are so many managers who have just been promoted, and the old man in the family is still sick. It is said that he has not closed his eyes for two nights."

Fu Jia's heart shrank suddenly, and she raised her head anxiously: "Then he—"

Is it because of this, because there are too many things to be busy, so I don't have time to take care of myself, and I don't have time to answer calls and messages.

He changed his words: "Then do you know which hospital his grandma lives in?"

Wang Songjian stared at him strangely: "How do you know it's grandma?"

He closed his lips tightly and then released them, unable to control part of the truth: "I knew him a long time ago, we are from the same school."

"Oh, alumnus, right? I heard." Wang Songjian put out his cigarette, turned around to answer the phone, "I'm really not sure which hospital it is, it seems to be the third hospital, you can ask him yourself later. .”

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay long, waved his hand and left.

Fu Jia stood there for a while, checked his phone over and over again, and decided that the most likely one was indeed the Third Hospital.First of all, this is a comprehensive family that can treat all diseases, and secondly, it is not far from Xu Shuyuan's home.

As soon as he heard that he could get off work that night, he rushed out to drive.

At times like this, his IQ is always very good. He found a few acquaintances, and found out that Xu Shuyuan's grandmother was admitted to the hospital because of rheumatoid arthritis.

When the car drove to the gate of the Third Courtyard, the security guard yawned and asked him what he was doing.He said, "Go to the emergency room."

It was really a sudden illness, Xu Shuyuan ignored him, he was no longer thinking about eating and drinking.

After running to the inpatient department, he calmed down a bit, thinking that Xu Shuyuan must not be here yet.

This was probably the messiest hospital he had ever seen. It was still noisy at this late hour, and many patients were walking around without wearing hospital gowns.

Take the elevator to the fifth floor, and there are still many people in the corridor.Xu Shuyuan's grandma lived in an eight-person room with an extra bed, but it was actually a ten-person room, including more than 20 family members, which was more lively than the vegetable market.

As soon as he entered, Fu Jia saw Xu Jing. She was sitting and peeling apples, and the child was not by her side.Lying beside the bed was an old man with silver hair, covered with a lady's down jacket.

"Miss Jing."

"Xiaojia?" Xu Jing was very surprised, put down the apple and fruit knife and stood up, "Why are you here, come to visit?"

There is no way, Fu Jia can only lie: "A friend of mine is hospitalized, let's come and see him. What about you?"

Xu Jing turned around and pointed to the elder on the bed, her face darkened a bit: "Grandma has arthritis, come to the city for a comprehensive checkup."

Ordinary arthritis does not need to be hospitalized. If you don't hesitate to take the train to come, it is already very uncomfortable, and it is not a small problem.

When the old man on the hospital bed heard them chatting, he turned his head around, which startled Fu Jia, because she looked like she was 80 or [-] years old, with wrinkled skin and wrinkled flesh.She was speaking in dialect, but Fu Jia didn't understand, so she said hello dully.

Xu Jing insisted on peeling an apple for him to eat, "Try it, I brought it from my hometown."

"Sister Jing, don't be busy, I just came to say hello, and I'll leave right away."

"Shuyuan will be here in a while, don't you want to see each other before leaving?"

Fu Jia had already stood up, but after hearing this, she slowly sat down again: "He is coming."

"Yes." Xu Jing gnawed on the apple in small mouthfuls while talking, and then spit it out, and held it to grandma's mouth with her hands, "He said he would come to replace me right away."

Fu Jia couldn't help but said: "Will this be too hard, can he be busy?"

"It's too expensive to hire a nurse now. It would cost two to three hundred a day at best. We have no choice but to work harder on our own."

The old man on the bed groaned in pain, Xu Jing hurriedly got up to take care of him.Fu Jia silently walked to the nurse's station to inquire.

"Hello, can you hire a nurse here?"

The nurse turned her face: "We are not responsible for this, you can go to the water room or the supermarket downstairs and ask, most of them are intermediaries."

He ran downstairs again, and as expected, he saw many small advertisements.After calling to inquire, the other party has complete qualifications and can send someone to work early tomorrow morning.

"Please arrange for a patient patient, the patient is an elderly person." He instructed, "You still need to be more flexible, thank you, please book for two weeks first, send me the bill and I will pay you now, tell the nurse not to To raise money with patients and their families."

When I got home that night, I still wondered if Xu Shuyuan knew that I had been there, but the phone was silent until I fell asleep.

The next day, Fu Jia woke up early, rushed to the hospital and asked to change wards before he had time to eat breakfast.

"Change to a single room."

"Single ones are gone."

"That's for two."

He held the front desk and looked at the computer screen very hard, and asked to change to a ward with windows facing south, and he wanted to change immediately.

The nurse shook her head helplessly, and waited for him to leave before complaining: "Living in a hospital is like staying in a hotel, and you have to sit north facing south. Do you want to bring a bathtub?"

After the change, he went to Xu Jing again, saying that his friend knew the leader of this hospital, and there was no money to change the ward.Although Xu Jing didn't have a high degree of education, she didn't know everything, so she insisted on refusing to accept it: "It's definitely not going to work. I'll give Shuyuan a call. You should go to work first."

Fu Jia hurriedly stopped him, saying: "All the money has been paid, you take grandma to live in first, and I will come to see you at night." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.Xu Jing kept calling him from behind, but he never looked back.

Arriving late at the company, the boss asked him to help go upstairs to deliver things, and almost bumped into secretary Cara on the way.

Cara exclaimed, and the two lilies in her hand fell to the ground, and he stepped on them.He apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry Cara, I was too anxious, where did you buy these flowers? I will pay you a few at noon."

She picked it up with a smile and said no need: "Wenwen always gave a big bunch for her birthday last week. Our secretaries each asked her for two, and they didn't spend any money to pay for it."

Fu Jia froze in place, and remained motionless until the person walked away.

It turned out that the flowers were not sent by Xu Shuyuan, so why did he say that?Is it me?Fu Jia held the stack of documents in her hand and stared at the corridor where people were coming and going.

Until being reminded by Pei Xiaoou in shock: "Xiao Jia, your hands are bleeding."

Looking down, it turned out that the finger was cut by the sharp edge of the A4 paper, but I didn't realize it.

"It's okay..." He walked away in a daze, "It's okay."

At night, I drove to the hospital again. I wondered if my mood had changed. It was so dark that I couldn't breathe.

Grandma was already asleep, and Xu Jing was not there. The nurse said, "The family members are going to eat supper."

"Male or female?"

"Male, 30 years old."

Fu Jia nodded: "Then I'll wait for him here."

The nurse sat on the other side and dozed off, only breathing evenly in the ward.

After waiting until twelve o'clock, Xu Shuyuan hadn't come back yet.There is no gate control in this hospital, but the nurses have to sleep, and they cannot survive without sleep.Fu Jia had no choice but to stand up, push open the door of the ward and go out.

Maybe Xu Shuyuan won't come over tonight, after all, he has already been taken care of by a nurse, so he can go home and sleep.

Obviously this is what I hope, but I still can't help but feel lost in my heart.

Two patients were waiting in front of the elevator to support the infusion stand, so Fu Jia turned to walk up the stairs.It was pitch black inside, and when I was groping to go down, I remembered that kiss inexplicably.No, not one kiss, but two.

Turning out the phone, he looked down at the number countless times before he mustered up the courage to call again.

As expected, it was still busy.

When passing by the public phone in the hospital, Fu Jia stopped, and looked at the landline inside through the glass with blank eyes.After watching for a while, I walked in and picked up the receiver.

won't work.I have never called a public phone since I was a child, and my fingers are numb from the cold.

It said that you can insert a bus card, but Fu Jia did not, and said that you can insert coins, and stopped several passers-by to exchange for a steel coin.

Put it in, dial slowly when you hear the prompt tone, and press the keys one by one.

I didn't expect it to be connected soon.

"Hey?"

Xu Shuyuan's voice was a little hoarse, he waited for a few seconds and asked again: "Who is that?"

"Xu..." Fu Jia just said a word, raised his head, and fell silent for an instant.

Not far away came a person with a cell phone in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand, and he didn't stop until the corner of the hospital building.

"Fu Jia?"

Xu Shuyuan had a keen left ear and recognized his voice, but he didn't see him.

"It's me." Fu Jia kept biting her lips and staring at him, "I just saw a person who looks like you on the street, is it you? It's near XX Road, I'm not sure."

Xu Shuyuan was silent for a moment: "It's not me, you've got the wrong person."

"If you say no, then it's not." Fu Jia smiled stiffly, with the corners of her mouth pulled up, her expression extremely ugly, "What are you up to lately? Shenlong can't see the end, it's so mysterious."

After speaking, he took a deep breath so that his voice would not tremble.

Under his gaze, Xu Shuyuan was smoking a cigarette with his back arched, his waist leaning against the wall, and his expression was very cold.There was no sound on the phone, and Fu Jia didn't dare to press her.

After a long time, until his legs were numb, Xu Shuyuan took the cigarette out of his mouth: "I'm not busy, I'm busy forgetting someone."

Fu Jia's heart sank and he almost forgot to breathe.

Xu Shuyuan said: "Hang up."
