Chapter 22 N. Time Changes

Ning Yixiao's words were obviously aggressive, which made Su Hui feel confused.

He didn't understand why Ning Yixiao appeared, he didn't understand why he had to intervene, and he didn't understand why he spoke like this.

Seeing Liang Wen's apologetic eyes and clenched the hand holding the paper bag, Su Hui didn't want to make him feel guilty, so she whispered, "It's okay, I like it now, give it to me."

His tone was gentle and soft, as usual, talking about very ordinary things.

Ning Yixiao, who hadn't completely left, could hear clearly.

"Really? You don't have to force yourself to eat..."

"Tastes always change."

These conversations were obviously weak, but they kept echoing in Ning Yixiao's mind.

Since Su Hui reappeared in front of him, he has been unable to make normal and correct decisions, always doing things that should not be done, saying things that should not be said, and showing extreme possessiveness that has no position.

This would not have had a good result.

The expected bad result happened, and the excessive self-esteem began to whip his heart again.

Back in the car, the driver asked him where he was going, but Ning Yixiao didn't answer for a long time.He took off his gloves and repeatedly washed his hands with hand sanitizer until the driver stopped him and took the bottle of hand sanitizer.

"Shaw." The driver said with concern, "It seems that you haven't gone to the follow-up clinic for a long time. Do you want to go now? I'll make an appointment for you."

In the end, Ning Yixiao didn't follow his advice, but asked the driver to drive him to the swimming pool he frequented, and he didn't leave all night.

When Carl came back from the hospital, Ning Yixiao was still swimming. He waited and ordered some food for Ning Yixiao.

Ning Yixiao's swimming posture is very professional, and she has also created a very good figure.But Karl knew that he didn't really like swimming, and he didn't like water. At first, when he was not familiar with it, he found that Ning Yixiao would reject all swimming pool parties, beach activities and cruise parties, and thought he was afraid of water. You know, in fact, his water quality is very good.

Ning Yixiao only used swimming as a channel to vent when she was tired and anxious.

This is the longest time I have traveled recently.

There is more than one such contradiction. For example, Ning Yixiao obviously doesn't like the sea, and he doesn't show any liking for the sea view in the bay area, but every property he buys is by the sea, and every room can see the sea.

He likes to sit alone by the sea at night, doing nothing, letting the dark blue tide surround him, or throwing some stones on the beach into the sea without any regrets.

In daily business activities, Ning Yixiao seldom uses flowers, and even if he receives them, he doesn't take care of them and hand them over to him directly. However, he will ask someone to plant all kinds of flowers and plants in the yard of the property and design it into a very beautiful garden , but won't stay in the garden for long.

No one else knew about these strange things, only his personal assistant knew about them.

Ning Yixiao doesn't like to talk, and only shows a social image of being able to do things with ease, but in fact, she can not say a word for a whole day, and she is very withdrawn.Carl is used to trying to figure out his mind, and even regards it as a kind of fun.But he didn't expect that Su Hui didn't like to talk, and he kept refusing all the time.

But he figured it out quickly, after all, they were brothers, so they must be similar.

Su Hui did not accept his help at first, and repeatedly said that he could handle his own affairs, but refused him again and again, no matter how Karl tried to persuade him, it was useless.

Until Karl received a message from Ning Yixiao.

[Shaw: Tell him if this doesn't get done, you might get fired from me. ]

This is totally deceiving.

Carl is very confident in his job security.

But he still followed the guide given by Ning Yixiao, and it turned out to be very effective. Su Hui, who had been refusing, thought about it and finally agreed.

Sure enough, they are brothers, otherwise how would they know so well?

His conjecture was verified again.

In order for Su Hui's grandmother to be hospitalized as soon as possible and complete the work assigned by the boss, Karl used a lot of connections, but before, most of their relationships with various hospitals and private clinics were related to psychiatric research, and this cross-department transfer cost a lot After a lot of time, he finally connected him to a hospital in Manhattan, which has the best liver cancer surgeon in New York.

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when the hospital was transferred. Carl asked Su Hui many times to go back to rest first, but was rejected.Su Hui followed them like this until she was sent to a new hospital.The environment here is much better than the previous hospital. They arranged single wards, which are spacious, clean and bright, and even the beds are very comfortable.

Su Hui always felt tormented in his heart, this help came from anyone else, he would not be like this, but it was Ning Yixiao.

He didn't know in what capacity he was accepting this help now.

classmate?Or someone hired by his fiancée.

No matter what his status was, he had already obtained the benefits Ning Yixiao brought him and took advantage of his convenience.

Su Hui knows that everything in this world has a price.

If Ning Yixiao wanted to go back, he would try his best to pay.

Carl saw that Su Hui was not satisfied with this, but his expression was a little worried. In order to dispel his doubts, he said to Su Hui: "This hospital is very good, and Shaw is here..."

He paused in the middle of the speech, thinking of what his boss had told him, he swallowed the second half abruptly.

Su Hui seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Carl immediately asked, "Are you tired? Let me buy you a cup of coffee."

"No, thank you." Su Hui glanced at the smoking room in the corridor, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

He took the cigarette case out of his pocket.

Carl suddenly sighed, "You really look alike."

"What?" Su Hui was stunned.

Carl immediately shook his head, "It's nothing, even Shaw, he likes to smoke when he's tired." He lowered his head and glanced at the cigarette case in Su Hui's hand, "But he likes to smoke Marlboro Aurora Double Burst, doesn't it suit his appearance? Like a child's taste."

He took it as an interesting story to share, after all, when he told others, everyone would be surprised, never thought that Ning Yixiao would like such a soft and gentle smoke.

But Su Hui didn't seem to find it interesting. He seemed to be distracted, and he also held the cigarette case tightly in his hand.

"what happened?"

Su Hui asked, "Does he smoke often?"

"Very little," Carl said. "He's been quitting recently, for a while."

Su Hui nodded, didn't speak, and quietly walked towards the smoking room. When he came out, he proposed to Karl that he wanted to bear the hospital's expenses independently.

Karl practiced Tai Chi and said, "Let's wait until the daytime tomorrow. Doesn't the attending doctor still hold a treatment plan discussion meeting for the patient? You rest first, and we will meet again during the day."

Su Hui knew that it was impossible for him to agree to his request for a while, so he agreed temporarily, "Thank you, Karl."

Carl smiled, "This is my job, you're welcome."

Back to Ning Yixiao, Karl wanted to report to work, but Ning Yixiao looked a little tired, so he didn't say anything, and asked the driver to take him home to rest first.

Ning Yixiao knew that Karl had been busy all day, so he didn't say anything, but he didn't let him go back to the rented apartment, and directly arranged him to sleep in the guest room on the first floor.

Probably because he drank too much coffee during the day, and Karl couldn't fall asleep. He left the room to get a glass of water, but found that the lights upstairs were always on.

He walked up with light steps, the venetian blind of the glass door was not drawn, and the floor lamp was on inside.Under the warm velvet light, Ning Yixiao was sitting at the desk, and the kitten doll was placed in front of him again.He would gently grab the kitten's paw, pinch it, then stroke the pattern on its forehead, and finally the lightbulb heart.

Carl thought that the small bulb inside might need to be replaced again.

The kitten was accidentally knocked down, Ning Yixiao straightened it up again, leaning on the back of the chair to watch quietly.

Carl went back downstairs without saying a word, after thinking about it, he turned on the computer and made an appointment for a follow-up visit for Ning Yixiao.

Probably because of some kind of tacit understanding, Su Hui, who was far away in the hospital, also tried to make an appointment for consultation online.Ever since he met Ning Yixiao, he felt that his condition was declining, and the medicine didn't seem to be able to control him well.

He still has to take care of his grandmother, so he must be more normal and stronger.

Carl didn't give him the receipt, so Su Hui could only use his grandmother's ID to check, and wrote down every expense, thinking about whether to go to the bank for a loan.

In the single ward, Su Hui used to sleep on the floor. After waking up during the day, she had a meeting with the chief surgeon at the appointed time. When she came back, there was already a new small bed in the ward, next to her grandmother.The sheets on the bed were all light blue and smelled new but looked familiar.

In an instant, he returned to the scene where he and Ning Yixiao lived together in a small rental house six years ago, even the white fine checkered pattern on the bed sheet was very similar.

Su Hui asked if Karl prepared it, and Karl quickly replied yes, and told him that if there is any inconvenience, please tell him as soon as possible, and he will prepare as soon as possible.

Sitting on the small bed, Su Hui was silent for a while, so that the phone vibrated and didn't notice it.It wasn't until he sneezed that he came back to his senses and found the missed call 10 minutes ago.

He had noted this number, which was the contact information that Bella Jones had emailed to him before.Seeing the employer's phone call, Su Hui's consciousness quickly became clearer. Thinking of what the other party might need, she called back.

But Miss Jones didn't answer right away. After a while, when Su Hui was planning to call again later, the call was connected.

Before he could speak, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, very deep, with the magnetism and resonance that he once teased that speaking English was like listening to a recording.Su Hui recognized it almost immediately.

"Sorry, Jones isn't here, what's the matter?"

Su Hui was stunned and forgot what to say for a moment.

Hearing his voice, Su Hui actually felt the relationship between Ning Yixiao and Bella Jones for the first time. He was about to become a husband. Stronger than before.

He couldn't help guessing where they were now, the hotel where they planned to get engaged?Or a new house?

After being silent for too long, Ning Yixiao who was opposite seemed to lose his patience, and his tone was cold.

"If there is nothing important, you can call again in half an hour. If there is something important, call her assistant."

Ning Yixiao was going to hang up on this strange number, but just as he took the phone away, he stopped.

"I don't have the number of her assistant."

He thought he heard it wrong, so he glanced at the phone number again, and then put the receiver close to his ear, "Su Hui?"

"Mmm." Su Hui always speaks monophonic characters very softly, and the words are slurred, with a soft stickiness, like a child.If he keeps answering like this, it will give Ning Yixiao the illusion that they haven't broken up yet.

Ning Yixiao had a stomachache for no reason, lowered his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, entered Su Hui's number and saved it.

"I'll send you the contact information of her assistant," he said.

Su Hui's voice was very soft, "Thank you, then I'll hang up."

But Ning Yixiao didn't let him hang up, "She might be back in a while, she just dropped by and dropped her cell phone in my car." He said, and lowered the window again, and the honking voice on the side of the road outside the window The sound of the flute pierced the silence between them.

It was cold outside, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the collar of Ning Yixiao's coat was blown up by the wind.

"I mean, if you still want to contact her, you can wait."

He felt that his drawing was getting darker and darker, it seemed strange to say anything, and Su Hui didn't give him any feedback.

"How is your grandma?" Ning Yixiao changed the subject abruptly.

Su Hui opened his mouth, and his voice became alienated and illusory through the medium of electromagnetic waves, "Successfully transferred to another hospital, surgery on Wednesday, thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Ning Yixiao lowered his eyes, "I said unnecessary things yesterday, don't mind."

"Yeah." Su Hui was silent for a moment, wanting to end the call, but he didn't say goodbye, nor did he say to talk next time.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to use blessings instead of farewell.

"I forgot to say, I wish you a happy wedding."
