Wildfire

Chapter 19: Come back home

It was not very cold in the early morning of midsummer. The fragrance of grass and trees floating in the air, as well as the ubiquitous smell of disinfectant water, Qi Man walked in the hospital flowerbed and saw a figure a few meters away. His figure was clear, slender, and the street light His shadow dragged far away, and Chu Yu walked and chatted with the nurse next to him.

"Doctor Chu will not go back to rest tonight?"

"If you don't go back, you will be on duty."

"Is you worried about Mr. Li?" The nurse's ridiculous tone was obviously very familiar with Chu Yu: "I heard that Mr. Li and Dr. Chu are still high school classmates?"

"Yes." Chu Yu's voice added a warm smile, seemingly very happy.

The nurse immediately said, "Is the Li Senior High School so good?"

"She has always been very good." Chu Yu smiled: "Don't you know that all the boys in the class had a crush on her at that time, and the activities she wanted to participate in were full of people, and she could follow a line of people after her meal."

"Once she participated in the 100-meter race, the entire playground accompany her to cheer for her."

What he said is true. At that time, Li Yanzhi was not only a celebrity in the class, but also a celebrity in the school, because she was rich, and because she had no father and no mother.

The family is entwined, his parents are dead, and she is Sai Jiao'e, and she is unparalleled in beauty.

At that time, although they were only high school students, they already knew the interest relationship. There were many people who liked her, but there were more people coveting her for money. Who wouldn't want to fall into the sky and smash themselves? What a wonderful thing to fight for decades, but Li Yanzhi has never paid attention to it. She has always been alone and only occasionally appears at class reunions.

The more she is like this, the more curiosity of those classmates can be aroused, and some people even bet that who can successfully win Li Yanzhi, but no one can win until graduation.

He had good grades at that time and was fortunate to be at the same table with Li Yanzhi, so he was familiar with it.

"Li is always really good." The nurse said with admiration: "It's a pity that my parents left early."

When God opens a window, you must close a door, but the world in this door is embarrassing.

Chu Yu echoed: "Yes, it's a pity."

Her parents were gone, and she left her with a genetic disease of migraine. I don't know whether Li Yanzhi feels happy or painful every time he has a headache.

Qi Man paused when he heard the two chatting. He bowed his head and walked over without hearing the sound. Chu Yu recognized her first: "Are you the one who just gave the message?"

Qi Man didn't expect that he would take the initiative to greet herself, she looked up: "It's me."

"You are Doctor Chu, right?"

The nurse next to Chu Yuchong nodded slightly. The nurse knew, and left first. Qi Man stood still, and Chu Yu said, "Is it cold, I'll make you a cup of tea?"

Qi Man shook his head: "No, thank you, is Dr. Chu okay?"

Chu Yu asked: "How do you call the young lady?"

"My name is Qi—" Qi Man said, "Qi by the ear, Qi Man."

Chu Yu smiled: "Qi Man?"

"There are vines in the wild?"

Qi Man didn't know anyone else had heard this poem. She nodded: "Doctor Chu is really smart."

"It's not that I'm smart, but people are as they say." Chu Yu said: "All are the same beautiful."

The corners of Qi Man's lips raised a slight arc, and he smiled politely. Chu Yu's conversation turned around: "Is Miss Qi an employee of Rongtian?"

"I didn't mean to offend." Chu Yu said, "I just want to know if Yanzhi has been so busy recently. If you sent her over today, I think you have a good relationship."

After all, it was late at night. If it wasn't the secretary who could send her over, it would be good friends.

Qi Man raised his eyes, and his inquisitive words were calm and reasonable. Her lips deepened, and there was a faint smile on her face: "I don't know Li always well, and I don't have personal relationships."

She said: "I just joined the company not long ago, and the position has not stabilized, so it is not convenient to use the secretary to call myself."

Chu Yu nodded: "It turns out that it is."

When his voice fell, someone shouted a few meters away: "Chu Yu."

Qi Man turned his head, and Li Yanzhi was standing not far away under the street lamp. She was still wearing a thin medical gown, and the night breeze was blowing up her clothes. Not only did she not feel bloated, but she appeared to be thin.

Pian Ruo is astonishing and graceful like a dragon, some people only need to look at it to affect all emotions.

But she didn't call her name.

Qi Man seemed to have eaten a large piece of lemon, squinting her eyes slightly to hide her aggressive emotions.

"Why did you come out?" Chu Yu walked quickly to Li Yanzhi: "Run out without sleeping this night, I think you don't want to be discharged tomorrow."

"With a patient like you, I have to lose my life for several years."

Li Yanzhi looked at him sideways, his eyes sharp and burning: "What are you talking about?"

"Chatting." Chu Yu said, "I didn't expect that there is such a big beauty next to you, and I didn't say to introduce us to these bachelors."

"Sure enough, capitalists are all stingers."

He complained as if true or false, Li Yanzhi's face sank, she took two steps forward and stood in front of Qi Man: "Aren't you going back?"

The voice is slightly lower, and the attitude is cold.

Qi Man was full of sorrow and sorrow and turned into spikes, and she was completely pierced in her heart in an instant, making her face pale with pain: "I will go back soon."

She said: "I came out and met Dr. Chu, just talk a few words."

"It's getting late." Li Yanzhi said calmly: "Go back and rest."

There is no sign of nostalgia. The two of them had just rubbed their ears and temples in the room, with their lips and tongues intertwined. At this moment, they were like strangers. The distance was drawn away and the feeling of alienation struck. Qi Man almost couldn't stand it. , Clenched, nodded and said: "Okay."

She said lightly: "Mr. Li also rests earlier."

Li Yanzhi turned her back, and the street lamp shone on her slender back, which was stretched. The cold wind lifted her up, making her face difficult to see.

After Qi Man greeted him, he took the initiative to say to Chu Yu, "Doctor Chu, I'm leaving now."

Chu Yu waved: "Be careful on the road."

Qi Man smiled, turned his head, and left the flowerbed.

The voices of the two people behind them were intermittent.

"The new secretary? It looks pretty."

"It doesn't matter if you look good."

"That's not necessarily true, a gentle lady and gentleman are so beautiful, don't you really introduce me?"

"No introduction, she won't be in the company in a few days."

"..."

Qi Man quickened her pace, but the annoying voice behind her lingered. She walked to the door and couldn't help but look back. Li Yanzhi and Chu Yu had already walked into the lobby of the inpatient department. They stood face to face and didn't know what to talk about. , Li Yanzhi's face is calm, wearing a medical gown a bit soft, the light falls on her, and the light winds.

This person is always so elegant and expensive that people can't ignore it.

Before she retracted her gaze, a bodyguard greeted her not far away and shouted, "Miss Qi, please get in the car."

Qi Man grabbed his mind and walked out of the hospital.

Li Yanzhi turned his head and saw her back disappearing at the gate. Her tight expression was slightly relieved. Chu Yu asked, "I heard you are busy going on a blind date recently?"

"You really know how to inquire." Li Yanzhi didn't get angry back to him.

Chu Yu said: "Do you still need to inquire? Your aunt usually has no one to talk to, and you can't wait to finish the conversation if you catch one, so you really plan to get married?"

His tone was tentative, his gaze fell on Li Yanzhi, and he continued: "Anyway, we are also friends for many years, and I am your attending doctor again. Shouldn't you care about it?"

"If you have this free time, you should care more about yourself." Li Yanzhi didn't like to talk about these things very much. She said: "I will go back to rest."

"All right." Chu Yu shrugged, "If you don't want to talk about your own affairs, you might as well talk about the beauty just now, is there a partner? Isn't it still in your company now? I—"

"Can you shut up?" Li Yanzhi couldn't bear to turn his head and swept over with an eye knife, his thin lips lightly opened, and his voice was deserted: "If you say one more thing, I will propose to the dean you to go to a foreign branch for development."

"Relentless and unjust!"

Chu Yu's ridiculous complaint sounded in his ears. Li Yanzhi then thought that Qi Man had said the same thing. It was at night when the man was tired from tossing himself on the bed, and he cried and complained while holding his arms around his neck: " Li Yanzhi, are you okay? I said you don't want to let go."

She is delicate and soft, reprimanding her is more like acting like a baby, always making people feel that the tip of her heart has been scratched by a cat, leaving a tingling and unbearable itching.

"Really not?" She laughed, failing to pierce the man's obvious lie: "Then I will stop."

Qi Man leaned close to her, put his arms around her neck, half hung in front of her for a while, and took the initiative to launch an offensive. She didn't move at all. Qi Man whispered: "Wooden person, don't care if you are cool, ruthless and unjust."

Like a cat with fried hair, she only thinks it is extremely cute, she puts the person in her arms with her backhand, and her hands up and down: "Didn't you say no?"

Qi Man resisted softly: "Just don't."

As she spoke, she brought the most sensitive part of her body over and let her taste it.

Duplicity.

She laughed: "A liar."

"What are you thinking?" Chu Yu saw that Li Yanzhi didn't reply and turned his head. Li Yanzhi's face was pale under the light, and his expression was rare and gentle. There seemed to be a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. Chu Yu blinked: "You are here. Are you laughing?"

When Li Yanzhi returned to his senses, he was still indifferent, the gentle side just now seemed to be an illusion, and Chu Yu wondered if he had misread it.

"I'm laughing." Li Yanzhi did not shy away from it: "Laughing you are almost forty and there is no target."

Chu Yu:...

Big brother, why bother to say second brother!

He suffocated and didn't speak. Li Yanzhi went straight back to the ward. Just sitting by the bed and hearing the crackling noise from the window, she walked to the window and found that it was raining.

The summer rain came quickly and fiercely, there was a burst of water on the window, and the knocking sound was clear. Li Yanzhi stood at the window and listened for a while and regretted letting Qi Man go back alone.

That person hates rainy days the most, and he must be unhappy now.

Qi Man is indeed unhappy. Although what she experienced in the hospital is the tip of the iceberg, she can already guess the probabilities. If the news that Lu Qiao brought before just made her feel the cold, then everything that happened tonight is Bone cold.

Li Yanzhi's attitude towards her in front of outsiders, the relationship between the two of them not on the stage, she didn't even deserve to have the identity of a friend, and she was reduced to a secretary who had just practiced. Although she could understand it, it was hard not to mind.

It was like a thorn that couldn't be removed and pierced her body, touching it lightly, it hurt in my heart.

The relationship between people is like this. Once there is a rift, the small problems that were previously irrelevant become big problems that cannot be overcome in a flash, and she even feels pain in her memories.

Qi Man leaned against the car and turned his head listening to the crackling sound.

It's raining.

It's really rain leaking, wind and night rain, and even the weather is against her.

She twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled silently, and said quickly: "Don't go back to the villa, you send me to Nancheng."

The driver looked at the bodyguard beside him and turned his head when he nodded.

It takes an hour and a half to reach Nancheng from here. Qi Man thought that when she first followed Li Yanzhi many years ago, she always took the bus every time she came to the villa, but it was only 20 minutes away from the villa to the bus station. Looking forward to the walk, I thought I would be able to guard Li Yanzhi at night.

Unexpectedly, after three years of guarding, that person has only been here a few times.

She had never understood why Li Yanzhi wanted to raise herself in a villa, but she didn't care about it, and she also fantasized whether she had different feelings for herself, but only recently discovered that it was because she didn't care.

I don’t care to forget that I still raise such a ‘idle’.

Suddenly, she remembered the summer of the next year. At about ten o'clock in the evening, when she heard something outside, she got up and looked at her. She saw Li Yanzhi sitting on the sofa to answer the phone. She walked over carefully, but was stunned by Li Yanzhi. Eyes.

It seems that there is still someone here.

When she forgot about herself, Qi Mancha felt embarrassed. She stood there and saw Li Yanzhi gesturing to ask her to return to the house. When she closed the door, she felt embarrassed that she had done nothing.

And the bad feeling right now, it's so **** like.

Qi Man leaned her head back on the seat. The driver thought she was taking a rest, quietly raising the temperature in the car, and playing soothing music. The new song of the little king, Wonderland, is said to be written specifically for the favorite goddess, and this goddess is Li Yanzhi, who has been publicly confessed by the little king.

News from all over the world is related to her.

Qi Man said displeased: "Turn it off."

She has a cold voice, staying next to Li Yanzhi, learning nothing, her momentum is full of deterrence, the driver turned off the music in a hurry, and did not forget to apologize: "I'm sorry Miss Qi."

"It's okay." Qi Man pulled the blanket from under the seat to cover her body. She looked at the pattered rain curtain outside the window, her eyes deep.

It was almost three o'clock in Nancheng, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Before Qi Man got off the car, her bodyguard had already helped her stand outside the car with an umbrella.

Entering the old community, the edge of the house is muddy and there are traces of green vine climbing on the walls. The street lights are very dim, and you can only see the outline of the house. Qi Man has not lived here for long. After graduation, she brought her mother. After arriving in this city, Anton moved into Li Yanzhi’s villa within two months of staying here. Her mother was also admitted to the hospital. It was said to be a home here, more like a temporary hotel, but her mother liked it very much.

She said it was energetic and energetic, and it made people feel alive. She liked it very much. Later, her condition worsened and she refused to stay in the hospital to waste money. The doctor also persuaded her to go home. There was no hope of treatment, so she took her back here. Li Yanzhi didn't say anything when she knew it, but asked the housekeeper to send her the real estate certificate one morning before she went out.

So, this house is hers.

Really magical.

Qi Man took out the key she carried with her from her bag, opened the door and went in. She hadn't returned for many years. The electricity had been cut off. She turned on the searchlight of her mobile phone and found that the whole room was covered with dust and there was no place to stand. There were hanging on the wall. The spider web, she grabbed the broom beside the door and waved it in the air, swept the spider web, then walked to the window and opened the window.

The whole house was submerged by the sound of rain. In addition to moldy humidity, there was also a smell of mud in the air.

Qi Man shivered with the cold wind blowing through the house. She put down her broom and walked to the door of a room. She did not open the door for a long time. She thought of her mother's words: "Manman, you will be here after mom left. Don't come back."

"Mom doesn't want you to be sad here alone in the future, so go find what you like and do."

"Find a place you like, find someone you like, and live the life you like."

"This is my mother's biggest last wish."

She went very obediently, looking for someone she likes, and living a life she likes, but no one would have thought that she would love it.

Qi Man held the doorknob, her body was tight and painful, especially her fingertips, her face was as pale as paper, with fine sweat on her forehead, the wind and rain outside, and the roar of night wind, she stood at the door. But he dared not push the door in.

After a long time, Qi Man took two steps back, and she turned and entered her room.

It was still the original layout, everything was the same, except that it was all dusty, and there was a thick layer of dust on the desk. Qi Man walked lightly along the surroundings, and suddenly realized that when she first moved in, her mother insisted that she sleep in this room.

"Why?" She was puzzled, thinking that both rooms were the same.

Her mother smiled and said, "This room is facing the sun, and you can see the sun as soon as you open the window."

Qi Man walked to the window, opened the window, and raindrops came in from the sky, blowing on her face, wet.

The rain was accompanied by the night breeze, causing the paper to rustle. She turned and walked to the desk. She saw a few professional books. They were very old and the key points would be broken. Qi Man carefully cleaned up the desk and put all the books away. Back on the bookshelf, I looked at the outside of a book for a few seconds, then took it out from the inside. The title of the book is very simple—[alive]

She opened it, and there was a letter in the book. The envelope was yellow, but the paper was not affected. There was a beautiful line on the envelope: To my dearest daughter.

Just reading the words, Qi Man's eyes turned red. She pressed her right hand to the corner of her lips and blinked lightly, her eyes gleaming and misty.

—Manman, thank you for coming, for fulfilling my dream of being a mother.

Isn't she, why didn't she fulfill her idea of ​​having a good mother.

Qi Man looked vaguely before her eyes, and read the letter again, word by word. In fact, she knew the content by heart for a long time, but she always cried for a long time every time she read it, so she didn't dare to bring it with her before she left.

Now she came back to take it.

After reading the letter, Qi Man carefully put it in her bag and closed the window. When she left the room, she subconsciously looked at the next door. It seemed that the letter just now brought her great courage. She held down the doorknob and lightly touched it. Turn, the door opened.

The scenery inside is the same as before, everything is the way her mother was when she was there, a simple layout, a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a chair.

The mirror was very dirty and fuzzy, and she could not reflect her figure.

Qi Man walked in with her mobile phone, her mind filled with pictures of the past, and the dust floating in the air was heavy. She stood in front of the dressing table, seeming to see her mother still sitting on the bed and beckoning to her: "Manman, come here. "

The language is gentle, as before.

She bit her lip and walked over, sat down and turned her head, only to find that there was darkness around her, the warmth she had just been crushed and disappeared.

Qi Man leaned on the bed and saw a lot of books on the bedside table, many of which were moved from her bookcase. Her mother had no other hobbies, so she liked reading. Later, her eyes fell and she let herself read to her. Qi Man recalled that time, her heart warmed up. She picked up a copy that was a historical allusion. She told a story about an emperor and a few concubines. After reading it, she asked: "Who does this emperor like?"

At that time, the cognition was simple and I only thought about who the protagonist liked after reading a book.

Her mother said: "He, loves herself the most, and nobody likes it."

"How is it possible." She gave an example of one thing, as if she was trying to prove it. Her mother laughed: "Silly girl, with such a big heart, how can you break it apart? It means you don't like it enough."

"I really like it, how can I hide it?"

Yes, how can you hide like it, unless you don't like it enough.

Qi Man put the book on the bedside table and saw the following book of poetry that her mother often reads. Although the title page was still very new and pressed, so there was no dust on the surface, Qi Man picked it up and looked at it. The page is the wind chapter-Guanju.

The characters were very small and a little fuzzy. Qi Man glanced around at random, turned to the back, and found that characters were actually written on the last page.

It was scribbled, and it was completely different from Juanxiu's writing before, but Qi Man recognized that it was her mother's handwriting after she fell ill.

—Manman, I don’t know if you can see it. If you can, my mother has something to say to you.

—You don’t actually love birthdays, I know, the dean told me that I didn’t give it to you under the guise of a bad life. In fact, I wanted to give it to you once before I left, and wanted to buy you a birthday. Cake, I want to buy you a doll, I want to sing a birthday song to you, I want you to be as happy and carefree as an ordinary child. But it seems that time does not allow, I can't wait for the day when you let go, so I say something in advance.

—Manman, happy birthday.

The last four characters seemed to have used a lot of strength. The pen nib pierced the paper and printed marks. Qi Man bit his index finger, tears bursting out of her eyes, and the pain that hit her instantly made her body tremble.

His face became paler, but he bit his lip and stubbornly refused to make a sound.

It turns out that her mother knew everything, but she never mentioned it because of the emotion of taking care of her. Isn't she uncomfortable?

She is more uncomfortable than herself.

Qi Man seemed to be punched hard in the chest. The pain was so painful that she felt a sense of suffocation. She could not breathe well, but her hand was tightly holding the Book of Songs.

As if as a life-saving straw, the heavy book was transformed in her hands.

Having been doing other people's for so many years is irrelevant, she is about to forget that she is also regarded as a treasure by others.

In the unlit room, only the mobile phone lighting emitted a faint light. A slender figure sat on the edge of the bed, holding a book in his arms, with his back hunched, and his shoulders trembling. Qi Man hugged the book tightly, as if he was holding her mother. A feeling of warmth rushed over her face, she whispered: "Mom, I want to go home."
