Yesterday was like Death

When I arrived at the hospital, Wenwen ran errands to register and get the laboratory test form, and Xi Zonghe was responsible for helping me when I couldn't stand up.

The camera dutifully circled the two of us the whole time, capturing me at my worst.I suspect that if I vomited, they'd probably still stare at my vomit without getting sick and shoot.

The doctor prescribed three bottles of injection, and at least two hours of water would be required.

"It's enough for me to have Wenwen here, you can go back." I really don't understand Xi Zonghe, he is not Du Yu's kind of newcomer who can't wait to seize every opportunity to get in the position, why are you here with me?

Xi Zonghe glanced at his watch and said calmly, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

Did he take the wrong medicine?

I couldn't persuade him, so I had no choice but to say to the cameraman and the director: "Go to the side and take a rest, you are tired after a day of filming."

Fortunately, they didn't listen to persuasion like Xi Zonghe, and quickly ran outside the infusion room to find an open space to rest.

Three bottles of injection, the infusion time is longer than I expected.It wasn't until nearly eleven o'clock that our party came out of the hospital and got on the car back to Bailang Village.

I fell asleep throughout the infusion process, but every time a bottle of injection was finished and the nurse came to replace it with a new injection, I would wake up briefly again.At this time, I could see Xi Zonghe standing aside very clearly from beginning to end, answering in a low voice when the nurse confirmed my name, while Wenwen sitting opposite me had already fallen asleep like a dead pig.

It was already twelve o'clock when we returned to the small farmyard. As soon as we got out of the car, we were startled by the sudden fireworks in the yard.

Pushing the door open, I saw a neat row of people in the yard. I almost thought they were here to welcome me. When I looked carefully, there was a line of words on the ground with fireworks—Happy Birthday JM.

Today is actually Jiang Mu's birthday, in other words, it's also my birthday.

Without warning, suddenly, without precaution.

When Luo Lian and the others saw us coming back, they quickly waved, "Come on, come on, let's celebrate Jiang Mu's birthday!"

I don't know how long they have been planning this surprise. Except for the fireworks, they even bought all the cakes.When I thought that if it wasn't for my poor health, maybe they would let me make a handmade cake for Jiang Mu myself, I was very happy.

How else can we say that different people have different fates, Jiang Mu is always in the spotlight and shining everywhere, and every birthday is full of surprises.And I can only drag my sick body and force my face to laugh, wishing him a "Happy Birthday" for a dog day.

I pretended to clap my hands and sang the birthday song, shared a piece of cake, and quietly went upstairs without attracting anyone's attention at the stall where they were smearing cream on each other's faces.

I'm so tired, I don't know when their birthday party will end, and I don't know when Xi Zonghe will return to the house.In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by a muffled thunder.There was a glimmer of light in the gaps in the curtains, and I opened it to see that there were dark clouds outside, and bright and shocking lightning rolled in the thick clouds.

A group of us were going to leave by plane at night and continue our respective schedules, but if the weather is such bad, I am afraid that all flights will be delayed.

"What's wrong?" Xi Zonghe's deep and hoarse voice came from behind.

I put down the curtains and turned to him and asked, "Don't you feel it?"

He was silent for a moment: "Is it raining?"

I lifted the quilt and lay down again: "It seems to be a thunderstorm."

My worries were not unreasonable. The raindrops began to fall in the morning and continued, and the small ditch at the door was quickly filled.

Water droplets rolled down from the eaves in clusters, ticking the ground, forming unique notes.

If you can't go outside, the excitement of the program will be greatly reduced.Xi Zonghe and I were not very comfortable. Luo Lian understood us, made a pot of tea, brought out the unfinished cake yesterday, made a simple afternoon tea, and asked us to sit around and chat and laugh.

Luo Lian is really suitable for this show, "Everyone who can be popular is a genius", this sentence is really true.

Yesterday, Xi Zonghe and I didn't watch the live broadcast of the first episode, so Luo Lian and Du Yu recounted to us one by one, recreating several wonderful moments with dancing and dancing.

"Brother Gu, it's all right, if you say you're real, you've come to the end of all the hard work." An Xinlan peeled a banana, and said unhappily, "As for me, I was scolded in the first issue, saying that I was artificial. How did I do it..."

I just looked at her with a smile and didn't speak.She is not only contrived, but also has a low EQ.For exposing me so openly, I didn't respond to it and I was giving her face.

"Then you have to ask yourself." Xi Zonghe took a sip of tea and threw out a meaningful sentence, which made everyone at the table stunned for an instant.

Even An Xinlan didn't expect that Xi Zonghe, who had always been aloof, would say that about her, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Uh, Xiaoyu, you showed me a part of the previous performance..."

Luo Lian is worthy of being a goddess with high emotional intelligence. In a cold moment, she grabbed Du Yu and asked him to impromptuly perform a hip-hop dance for everyone.

Du Yu was named inexplicably, and performed a nondescript street dance for no reason, which can be regarded as resolving an embarrassment.

In the evening, the rain continued, and the flight number was also delayed.The program team had no choice but to arrange for us to change the booking, stay in the hotel for one night first, and leave tomorrow when the weather improves.

After moving the luggage to the hotel, Wenwen took my temperature: "It's less than 38, and I still have a fever. You should take some medicine."

After the recording was over, we each got our phones back.When I opened it, there was indeed a birthday greeting from Gu Ni.

"Happy birthday, brother."

I stroked those words with my fingertips and smiled silently.

When I was with Xi Zonghe before, he didn't like my birthday, so I never celebrated my birthday. I didn't even have an exact date when I was born. People around me didn't even know when my birthday was.In this world, only Gu Ni can remember the date of my birth, and send blessing text messages on time every year.

She seems to be using this behavior to remind me that in this world, only she who really cares about me is the one who truly loves me.

After Wenwen left, I looked at the rain outside the window and sat at the table with my chin propped up for a long time.

In previous years, my birthday was very coincidental. Xi Zonghe and I always had no announcement and would stay at home all day.It is normal for me not to announce, because Liang, he is rarely seen without announcement.Even if there is no candle cake, even if I never show it, deep down in my heart, I have always been looking forward to this day.

Almost looking forward to it since... every year after this day. 360 five days, every day I feel secretly happy to be closer to this date.

On this day last year, Xi Zonghe broke the spell, or my shit has come to an end.He went to work abroad and attended a fashion show as a brand spokesperson. He originally planned to come back the night before my birthday. Unexpectedly, he missed the airport, but the flight from Paris was delayed.

I thought he would not come back. I was disappointed, and with the last bit of hope, I slept in the sun room on the top floor at night, facing the direction of the car.In this way, as long as there are car lights coming from a distance, I can wake up as soon as possible.

I slept until midnight, and when I was in a daze, I suddenly heard the sound of an engine.I woke up suddenly, looked downstairs, and saw Xi Zonghe getting out of the car with luggage.

This was really a surprise, I didn't even have time to put on my slippers, and ran downstairs barefoot.

I was fairly fast, and as soon as he entered the room, I threw myself into his arms.

"Why did you come back?"

"Why do you sleep upstairs?"

We both spoke at the same time, I looked into his dark eyes, it seemed as if my dull mood all day had been brightened.

"I'm watching the stars." I adjusted my expression so that I wouldn't look too excited.

"Looking at the stars?" He raised his eyebrows, "You have a lot of fun."

"What about you? Didn't you say you can't come back? Why are you back again?"

With a tired face on his face, he carried his luggage and walked into the house: "There is still a schedule tomorrow, so I must hurry back."

I glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and it was 23:50, which was also 10 minutes past his birthday.

Later, I found out through Fang Xiaomin that he had rebooked a flight that stopped in Ho Chi Minh that night, and it took nearly twice as long to come back.

At that time, I was also stupid. He said he was rushing back for the trip, so I didn't doubt him.

Thinking about it now, he is not for the itinerary at all, he is for me, he wants to be by my side on my birthday without letting me know.Excluding the two years of his recovery, what is the probability that there will be no announcement on the same day for three years after his comeback?

Why was I so stupid before...

I covered my eyes with my hands, and suddenly the indoor landline rang.I wiped my face, got up to pick it up, and Xi Zonghe's voice came from the other end: "Come to my room."

Before I could ask what he was doing, he hung up the phone.

I happened to have something to ask him, so I dawdled, wrapped in a coat and walked to his room.

He opened the door for me without a word, and when I closed it he turned a laptop on his desk towards me.

On the screen was something that I could only describe as "weird", beating regularly, with a kind of vigorous vitality.It's curled up, I can see its features, I can even see its fingers...

I suddenly realized what it was, gasped in shock, and covered my mouth uncontrollably.

"This is..." I didn't dare to say that this was "our" child, so I could only vaguely ask, "Is she? That child?"

Xi Zonghe nodded: "Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, she has been five months old and has developed very well."

There is a huge gap between looking at a black and white ultrasound image and facing a living life.

I was so excited that I could hardly speak, and even my eye sockets felt faintly hot.

I walked slowly towards the notebook, carefully touching the corner of her mouth on the screen with my fingertips.

"She seems to be smiling." The five-month-old embryo can already see the outline of the facial features, "She smiles so cute."

I was just about to take a closer look at this little face that combines the genes of me and Xi Zonghe, when the laptop screen was suddenly closed.

I looked up at Xi Zonghe in confusion: "What's wrong?"

He looked away: "Let's go after reading it."

I blinked and reflected for a long time: "You asked me to see the child's color Doppler ultrasound. It took less than 5 minutes, and now you want to drive me away?"

"I showed it to you for your birthday's sake."

This fucking is my birthday present? !

Angry and funny, I bullied him, put my palm on his chest and said, "So how much do you remember?"

He turned his eyeballs to look at me, his thick eyelashes drooped down, his fingers pushed aside my skirt, and pressed on my collarbone.That piece of skin felt hot and painful almost instantly, the impression from the depths of memory was too deep, as if it had become a habit.

"I remember this scar was made by me..."

Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.Our movements stopped instantly, maintaining an ambiguous intimacy, just like a real couple.

"Xiaohe, it's me." Jiang Mu's easily recognizable voice came from outside the door, "I have something to tell you."

It's late at night, what do you have to say now?

I bet, he must have taken a good shower, wearing Xi Zonghe's favorite clothes in the past, with wet hair, and his whole body is fragrant and waiting to be blessed.

"Xiaohe, are you there? I know we can't go back to the past, I just want to say sorry to you face to face." If I didn't know his true nature, I would have been fooled by his superb acting skills.This voice that was about to cry, and the tone of sadness and resentment, made me want to open the door for him.

Xi Zonghe was like a sailor who was confused by the siren's voice, his eyes gradually turned to the direction of the door.

There seemed to be thousands of different voices screaming in my heart, and they all repeated one sentence in my ear: "Don't go!"

I looked into Xi Zonghe's eyes nervously, just like those voices, hoping that he would get out of Jiang Mu's puzzle and not make the same mistakes again.

However, he didn't hear my voice, and didn't even look at me. He moved slightly and walked towards the door.

My heart seemed to be scorched by hot lava, and black pustules emerged, each with an ugly face, clamoring for jealousy and unwillingness.

I clenched my fist so hard that my nails sank into the flesh.

"Don't go..." When he was about to pass me, I grabbed his wrist, "Don't leave me."

Jiang Mu is pitiful, and I am even more pitiful than him.

Xi Zonghe is mine, and has always been mine, why should I let it go?

We even have children, so what kind of onion is Jiang Mu?

The coat draped over my shoulders fell to the ground, and I snuggled into Xi Zonghe's arms in my thin pajamas: "Xiaohe, I'm so cold..." I raised my head, my eyes were wet, and I forced a little cry, "You hug me me."
