An indescribable feeling melted from her chest, and it suddenly occurred to her that perhaps her fault was not that she had left without turning around the moment the hospital saw his name.
"I have something to tell you," Zeng said. "I hope you don't get angry when you find out."
He wiped the phone clean, stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and waited.
"I …" Looking into his eyes, Ceng Niu suddenly felt a bit panicked. He didn't know where to start.
She shifted her gaze elsewhere and finally revealed everything that had happened to Yu Yi.
Ai Jingchu listened silently.
Finally she asked, "You're the one who called me, right?"
In the clinic lobby, there was an old man arguing with a nurse. To be exact, the old man was shouting loudly at the nurse. Zeng Hu didn't know what they were arguing about, but there were a lot of onlookers and the sound was very loud. When she said this, her heart almost stopped, but she didn't hear his reply, so she wondered if she said it too softly, so he didn't hear her.
She turned to look at him and found that he was still looking at her. There was no anger or surprise in his gaze, only a silent stare that made her feel a little flustered.
Just as she was about to continue her explanation, a nurse from the injection room interrupted them by saying that it was time for the skin test. She checked the arm of the Zeng carp and called her over for an injection.
After the injection, Eichen-chu drove to our hospital and said that he would buy some things and ask Zeng to wait for him in the car.
After about ten minutes or so, Ai returned with a small, transparent plastic bag.
"When you get home later, use the sterilized water to dissolve this, put it in the fridge and rub it a few times a day to help the wound heal. And this, "he pointed to the other flat box," this is a silicone paste, after the wound is healed, stick it on top to prevent scar growth. But you may not be able to keep your chin steady, so you should put this hood on when you sleep at night. "
Ceng Niu suddenly felt flattered. After a while, he picked up the two needles and said, "But, how do we do this?"
As if recalling something, he took an unopened disposable syringe from his trouser pocket and placed it with her in the plastic bag. "It's okay, I know what to do."
When they were almost home, Ai Jing took a detour, passing the place where he had fallen, and found the warm-hearted aunt. He put the bicycle, which he had left behind, in the back of the car.
Auntie said, "You scared me to death just now. I thought there was something wrong with the blood."
Ceng Niu smiled. When he saw the pool of blood on the side of the road, he was truly shocked.
At this time, after disappearing for a while, Ai Jingcai came from the fruit shop across the street with a big watermelon and a big bag of apples. He said that he was thanking Auntie and these few colleagues who helped him.
The aunt was overjoyed and rejected him. "You guys are too kind."
"Of course." "Thanks to your help, she wouldn't have known what to do if she wasn't alone."
When Auntie saw the sincerity of the other party, she happily called her colleagues to come and put the items away.
When Ceng Niu got back to the car, he couldn't help but sigh, "You're the most considerate one."
She and her father had parted at a young age and had not had much contact with the opposite sex, so she wondered if all men were so methodical.
Ai Jing put on his seat belt and started the car again. "Good will always pay off," he explained.
She didn't know how to make the syringe, so there was no need for further explanation. Naturally, Ai Jingcai had to follow her upstairs.
When Ceng Niu arrived at his own home, he relaxed his mind. Furthermore, he had lost so much blood. Furthermore, he had been tossing and turning in the hospital for a few times. He suddenly felt tired and unable to lift his spirits.
"Take advantage of the anesthetic," said Ai, "and let me have some rest. I will remember to lock the door for you before I leave."
The head of the Zeng carp was light and it did not have much energy to think. It closed the door to its bedroom, changed its T-shirt that was stained with blood, and lay down on the bed.
Ai Jing waited until the bedroom was quiet before sitting down on the sofa.
In fact, he hadn't had any lunch yet. He was on his way home to dinner when he received the phone call. Although he wasn't hungry, his stomach was aching. He wanted to smoke when he was not feeling well. There was no balcony in the living room and it was not convenient to smoke in someone else's room. So he opened the door, went to the corridor and lit a cigarette.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Ceng Niu was still awake. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she assumed that Ai Jingcai had already left. She took off her tight-fitting jeans and fell asleep soon after.
Then the sound of footsteps came from upstairs. A middle-aged woman came down and, seeing that Ai Jingcai was standing at the front door of the house, she kept smoking and glanced at him several times out of the blue.
After that person left, in order to not bring any negative effects to Ceng Niu, Ai Jingxi quickly took a few deep puffs, extinguished his cigarette, and entered the house.
This time, Ai Jingcai carefully examined Ceng Niu's home.
There were three doors facing the living room. One was for the door, one was for the bedroom, and the other was for the kitchen. After the kitchen was the toilet and the rest was for the washroom.
The last time he saw it, it was still lush and verdant, and there was a pot of it beside it, so he could no longer recognize what plant it was.
She had a lot of stuff, and on the coffee table were many bottles and jars for skin protection. There were plenty of colorful magazines, too. They couldn't fit on the coffee table, on the floor, even on the arm of the sofa. On the sofa, in addition to the magazines, there were several kinds of pillows with flowery fabrics, as well as a few rabbit dolls.
It was clear that the room was where the girl lived.
There was a lot of stuff, but it was not messy.
On the other side of the corner was a rectangular table, but it was obviously not used as a table. In addition to a laptop, there were books, notebooks, and colored pencils. There was also a jigsaw puzzle that had been thrown aside. The jigsaw puzzle depicted a messy but orderly bookshelf. Perhaps the color was too complex, or perhaps the construction was too huge for her to continue.
Seeing a pen lying at the foot of the table, he went over and picked it up, placing it on the table.
On the table, there was a leather book with a grid on it. He took a quick glance and saw a line of words on it: Three grams of white Poria Cocos, three grams of white peony, three grams of white art …
He didn't know much about Chinese medicine, but he was still able to recognize some of the medicinal herbs. It seemed like she had seen the formula somewhere, so she was afraid that she might have forgotten about it, so she casually copied it on her notebook. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the little thoughts that girls loved to have about beauty.
However, when he looked again, it was a different frame of mind.
This was the second time he had seen her writing something, and he couldn't remember exactly what that handwriting looked like back then. At that time, he only thought that she was very beautiful, but now, when he looked at her again, she was still there.
After so many years, had she changed just like her handwriting?
At that time, he only thought that she was really a silly girl, but he didn't think that the person was actually Yu Yi, and he also didn't think that she was actually 'she'.
Ai Jingcai stood on the spot for a while with lowered eyes before looking away.
Then he went to the kitchen and washed his hands carefully. Then he knocked off the glass of the ampoule, sucked half the liquid into the syringe with the syringe, poured it into the bottle of dried powder, and shook it. When the powder was gone, he found a pair of scissors and scraped the aluminum off the top of the bottle and put it in the fridge.
The process was simple. Any nurse could do it easily, but if someone was not familiar with it, they would either spill it or cut their finger.
When he went to wash his hands again, he thought of dinner.
It was almost five o'clock, and even if she had slept only briefly, it was time for dinner. He checked the refrigerator. Other than the yogurt, there were a few apples and some leftovers. There was nothing else to eat. Not only did she have stitches under her chin, but the skin on the back of her hand had also been scraped so that she could not touch the water, and she could barely cook alone.
He thought for a moment, then returned to the living room and took the key that Ceng Niu had placed on the shoe cabinet after opening the door. Then, he gently closed the door.
When Ceng Niu woke up, it was already 7 o'clock.
But she herself was completely asleep, whether it was in the morning or at night, so she got up from the bed to go to the bathroom. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw the lights on in the living room. She was a bit confused at first, but then she saw Ai Jingcai sitting on the sofa.
He suppressed the urge to scream and quickly returned to his room, closing the door behind him.
She stood in her bedroom and lowered her head to look at herself. She really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself …
Because she wasn't wearing pants!
No! Only a pair of underwear!
After graduating from Zeng Niu University, he had been living alone, so his clothes at home weren't anything special. He even went to take a shower. It was normal for him to walk out of the washroom naked without taking a change of clothes.
How could she have thought that there was someone else in the room? How could she have thought that he was a man? How could she have thought that Ai Jingcai hadn't left yet?
How could he meet people?
How can you meet people!
How could he meet people?
Behind the door, Zeng wanted to call out to the Virgin Mary and then to greet his sister. Her anesthetic had long since surpassed its potency, so she didn't feel it when she fell asleep. Now, however, her wounds were throbbing in pain, and along with the rhythm of her bloodline, her brain also began to swell and ache.
In the end, she said to herself, "It's okay, it's like being in the swimming pool." She only showed her lower body when she was wearing a bikini.
She comforted herself several times, then found a pair of shorts in the closet and put them on.
What do you mean embarrassed? This is a living example.
She wanted to stay in the bathroom for the rest of her life, but she couldn't hold it in for long.
When she gathered up her courage and stepped into the living room for the second time, he was still there, though this time he wasn't looking up at her. He was calmly flipping through his magazine.
"I thought you. "He left a long time ago." Zeng Hu cleared his throat and explained awkwardly. She had thought about it. Although she also wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, she had to explain herself. Otherwise, he would have thought that something was wrong with her.
Ai Jingcai closed the magazine in his hand. "I still want to talk to you face to face."
"Oh, I need to go to the toilet first." she said awkwardly.
When she reached the kitchen, she saw that there was still soup cooking on the kitchen counter. There was also a pot of white porridge and a plate of tofu on the counter.
"You …" Zeng Hu was shocked.
"I didn't expect you to sleep so long. You must be getting cold." "No," he said.
He didn't know what to say. All he could say was one word, "Thank you."
She didn't know why he didn't even glance at her a lot a few days ago, but today, he was guarding his own house cooking. This difference, she was a bit …
As his mind wandered, Ai Jingcai's eyes also widened.
He couldn't help looking down her face a little, past the T-shirt, then down at the shorts. He had met her in the winter, wrapped in layers of clothing. It was still early in the summer, so he had not seen her in a summer dress. She was wearing long pants during the day, and now she's probably changed into a pair of shorts because of the heat. She was a tall, thin woman, with white straight legs sticking out from under her short pants, and then he remembered how she had walked out without even wearing pants.
Ai Jing Chu did not dare to continue daydreaming, nor did he dare to look at her again. He forcefully turned his face away.
Returning from the toilet, Zeng sat in front of Ai Jingcai, waiting for him to say the words "to his face".
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue with your conversation at the hospital. I'm really the one who called."
Ceng Niu guessed that was what he was going to say. He lowered his head and slowly said, "Sorry."
"Apologize for what?"
"I hid it from you and pretended that I didn't know you." Zeng Hu said.
"When did you know?"
"At the beginning." Zeng answered.
"When was it first?" he asked.
"Before you saw my teeth." She might as well tell him everything.
"Ceng carp," Ai Jingcai glanced at her and asked in a lukewarm tone, "Why?"
Ceng Niu was slightly sleepy.
Why? She did not understand the meaning of those three words. Was it because she was hiding it from him, or because she had known him from the start, or because she remembered him?
She pondered for a moment, not knowing where to start.
After a long while, Ceng Niu said softly, "At that time, you said your name on the phone, but Yu Yi also said your name later on, I remember." Afterwards, when I went to work in your hospital and saw that your doctor's resume had graduated from the same school as Yu Yi, I was quite curious. I thought, maybe this is the 'Ai Jenchu' who called me. " She seemed to be immersed in her memories, "Later on, to confirm, I went to listen to your lessons, but I didn't expect that it really was you. However, it was really unintentional to look for you for treatment. It was the hospital who transferred me to you, I didn't mean to provoke you, to lie to you, I just … "I just..."
"Just for Yu Yi?" He continued with a straight face.
She frowned and did not deny it. Who can say? If it wasn't for Yu Yi, why would she be so curious about him?
"Since you've been pretending for so long, why did you want to tell me today?"
"I …" After hearing his question, Ceng Niu recalled the words that Wu Ying had said that night. At the same time, he thought of the warm and powerful hands in the operation room. He was conflicted, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.
However, her hesitation caused Ai Jing to misunderstand. A layer of anger appeared on his face.
"Is that why you want to change doctors? After you tell me, if you explain everything clearly, you can forget about the relationship and switch to someone else. Then, you will have nothing to do with each other for the rest of your life? "
"No." She shook her head.
"Why is that? Because I helped you today, and you feel guilty and want to tell me the truth to repay me? " His anger increased.
Ceng Niu quickly shook his head. "No."
She had never seen him angry with anyone before, even if he rarely laughed, even if he did not speak, even if he taught his students strictly, even if he did not look at her with a dark face, even if he hung up the phone, he was still cold and indifferent.
"Or do you think you know something that no one else knows and that it's fun to play, and now you're tired of it?" He was angry, and his expression became even colder. His complexion also did not look good, as if he would forever ignore others.
When she saw this, she suddenly felt wronged. Her nose was a little sore, and her eyes immediately turned red.
"I'm not that kind of person." She muttered an excuse.
"I'm not that kind of person. I just don't know what's wrong with me. I lied to you on purpose, but it's not what you think. At first I thought maybe you didn't remember it at all, and there was no need to say it. After that, I spent more and more time with you, and I couldn't say more. But, you are so good, so good to me, no one has ever treated me like this in my life. When I was in the operation room, I thought, "I have to tell you the truth, even if you are angry, even if you think that I have evil intentions, even if you hate me, you are really angry now …" As she finished her sentence, tears began to flow down her cheeks.
It was said that tears were a woman's most powerful weapon. Ai Jingcai deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
His feigned anger had long since disappeared. The heart in his chest had melted like warm honey.
"Ceng carp." He called her name.
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, there was a movement in the kitchen, as if the soup from a stew pot had spilled onto the fire. Ai Jing's reaction was quick. He immediately got up and went to the kitchen to adjust the fire.
When he turned around, he didn't want to collide with Ceng Niu.
Zeng Niu's face hit his shoulder. She subconsciously protected her chin first, but she couldn't avoid the impact. The force and speed was not great, but it still hurt.
Her head felt dizzy from the pain, and she was also a little anaemic. She couldn't help but reach out to grab the handle of the refrigerator on the side and lean over it.
"It hit the wound?" he asked.
She wagged her hands in pain and leaned back against the refrigerator door, trying to catch her breath.
Fortunately, the refrigerator was large enough to support her.
Ai Jingcai's heart clenched, "Let me see."
He reached out and carefully removed the adhesive tape and gauze, checking the side of his face. She was standing in the small gap between him and the refrigerator, and he was half a head taller than she was, so he had been bent over.
But at the moment, neither he nor she was thinking about anything else.
She obediently raised her chin so that he could see more clearly. This way, her tears from before were completely revealed.
After confirming that he was fine, Ai Jingcai heaved a sigh of relief.
"You have to be careful when walking and sleeping these few days, and don't get wet." He carefully restored the gauze back to its original position.
"Oh."
After smoothing the adhesive tape, his eyes fell on her tear-filled eyes. He suddenly remembered something he hadn't said earlier, "Actually, there's still one more sentence." "No," he said.
He didn't get out of her way in time, and kept her trapped between him and the refrigerator.
"Hmm?" She gently touched the gauze on the outside.
"I asked you a question on the phone last time, do you remember?" he asked, looking into her eyes.
"What?"
"Let me ask you, is your heart still there?"
Ceng Niu stopped his actions. Was he really asking this question? At that time, he had pinched the phone and never mentioned about it again. That was why she had thought that she had heard wrongly, or that she had misunderstood.
Instead of waiting for an answer, he lowered his head a little and closed the distance between his face.
Zeng Hu could almost feel his breath.
Those black eyes appeared clearly in Ceng Niu's field of vision. Those lake-like eyes were so captivating.
"If it's still there," he said, his eyebrows pressed closer together, his voice low and almost magnetic, "if it's still there, I'm going to take it away."
After saying these pleasant and enticing words, his lips moved closer and lightly kissed the corner of her lips.
