Chapter 23
Zheng Xi didn't know why he had to confirm this question, but before Jin Jing could answer, he heard the sound of the door being knocked open.
He immediately covered the phone and listened intently.
There should be more than one person coming in, because he heard two different panting sounds.He frowned, whispered to Jin Jing, "Contact again" and hung up.
Although Fengherili Bar is not the kind of smoky bar, it is also a place of entertainment.It's just that Zheng Xi didn't expect that the two men who came in had that kind of relationship.And it seemed like they couldn't wait any longer, and started it without checking if anyone else was here.
Zheng Xi bit his lower lip irritably, he was not interested in hiding in the bathroom and eavesdropping on other people doing such things.
He waited for a while, and the two of them started to howl unscrupulously.One of them, in particular, was full of rambunctious words, urging the other to hurry up.Zheng Xi had never encountered such an embarrassing situation before. He wanted to go out directly. Anyway, he was not the one who was doing shameful things, but when he thought that he would see something he shouldn't see when he went out, he hesitated again.
He leaned against the door, forcing himself not to listen.But the more he thought about it, the more clearly he could hear it, especially when the sound of crashing and sticky water began to permeate this small world, Shen Feng's face actually appeared in front of his eyes, and he remembered the scene of taking a bath that day.
At that time, Shen Feng reacted in front of him, and he always thought it was purely due to physiology.Thinking about it now, it is clearly because of him that Shen Feng...
The lamp above his head shrouded him in a faint halo, and also illuminated his reddened cheeks so that there was nowhere to hide.After returning to the room that day, Shen Feng found out that he was doing that kind of thing. Thinking of Shen Feng's meaningful words at that time, he covered his face in shame.
He couldn't bear it anymore, put the hat on his head, pushed open the door and went out.
He ran to the bar to check out without squinting, pulled Lin He up and left.
Lin He was playing a mobile game, and he was pulled out of the door by a gust of wind, his face was full of confusion: "What's the matter? What are you crazy about?"
Zheng Xi forced himself to calm down and stopped a taxi: "You go back first."
Lin He gave him a sideways glance, closed the car door, and signaled the driver to leave first.
The driver yelled 'sick' and left them with exhaust fumes all over the place.
Lin He became a little angry: "What's the matter with you tonight? Why are you more moody than usual, and you can blow up your hair even if you go to the toilet? Who offended you again in the toilet?"
Zheng Xi didn't want to explain too much, but he also realized that Lin He shouldn't be treated like this.He slowed down his tone: "I'm very sleepy, that's all for tonight."
Lin He: "You are leaving tomorrow, and you don't know when you will come back next time, so you just send me away like this?"
Zheng Xi is in a really bad mood now, and he doesn't know how to tell Lin He.Fortunately, Lin He knew him well, so he didn't force him when he saw his forbearance and entanglement. He asked about tomorrow's flight number, said he would come to see him off, and left.
Zheng Xi stood there and blew the cold wind for a while, until he calmed down before waving to stop the car.
His luggage was in Shen Feng's place, and he had to go to Matthew to get a report tomorrow morning, so he found a hotel near Matthew's clinic to sleep for the night.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that he fell asleep very quickly, but this sleep was extremely restless.In the dream, there is always someone by his side, calling him 'baby' all the time.And he didn't show any impatience, instead he played and kissed that person frequently.
The man's face was still blurred.After Zheng Xi opened his eyes, he stared at the ceiling and recalled for a long time, but still couldn't confirm the man's face.
But he had a faint idea that it might be Shen Feng.
Except for Shen Feng, he really didn't think anyone else could do these things to him.
Zheng Xi sat up, feeling more tired from this sleep than from no sleep at all.He squeezed his sore shoulder, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and went to find the spray in his backpack.
The moisturizing spray was placed in a waterproof bag with the medicine box. When he took it out, he glanced at it, and suddenly remembered another thing that was wrong.
Why couldn't he remember anything in the past three years, and why did he dream about the past just over a week after he came back?
Although the content of the dream was not substantive, he had taken so many medicines to no avail in the past, and recently he kept forgetting to take them, but he remembered them?
He opened the blue sealed medicine box, which was ordered by Zheng Xueqing through a special relationship, and he didn't know what it was.
Although he felt a little strange, he didn't think about it any more.Maybe it's because of meeting Shen Feng and knowing the truth about the past, that's why the memory recovered a bit.
Thinking of this, he put the medicine box back.It's just that since the previous symptoms didn't reappear, he didn't plan to eat any more.
He packed up and checked out to find Matthew.
Matthew made an appointment with him to read the report at 10 o'clock, and when he arrived, the girl he had received last time was there again.His condition today was much better than last time, and he smiled politely at the girl.The girl led him into Matthew's office, instead of serving him hot cocoa this time, she kindly asked him what he would like to drink.
Zheng Xi ordered a cup of Americano coffee.
After the girl closed the door, Matthew handed over his report: "There is no problem in the preliminary examination, and the injured nerve has healed. But the nerve injury is no worse than musculoskeletal injury, and it has been squeezed by blood clots for a long time. , so I'm not sure whether your memory can be recovered. But there is a new drug that has just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration not long ago, which is specifically for your disease, do you want to try it?"
Matthew took a light blue bottle from the drawer and handed it to Zheng Xi.Zheng Xi took it and looked at it, then remembered the medicine Zheng Xueqing gave him.
He handed the medicine box in the bag to Matthew: "Help me have a look, do you understand what kind of medicine this is?"
Matthew opened his eyes and smelled it again: "You can't see it like this, do you mind leaving two for me, and I can get someone to test it for you?"
Zheng Xi: "How long will the test take?"
Matthew: "Soon, about a week or two."
Zheng Xi hesitated for a moment, and left two for Matthew.For the new drug recommended by Matthew, he said that he would prescribe a course of treatment first, and then continue to take it if it is effective.
Before leaving, he left an email address for Matthew, and the test results were sent to this email address.
Matthew was a little surprised when he heard that he was going back to the United States today, and asked him if something happened temporarily.
He was the first brain doctor that Zheng Xi came into contact with after the car accident, so he knew the situation of Zheng Xi's family very well.The two times when Zheng Xi came to him, there was no one to accompany him, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Zheng Xi said nothing happened, but told him not to tell Zheng Xueqing about his visit.Although Matthew felt that something was wrong, Zheng Xi was his patient. Based on the principle that the patient's request and interests must come first, he naturally agreed.
After Zheng Xi left the clinic, he checked the time, and it was almost noon.
His cell phone hadn't rang, and when he picked it up, he didn't know why it was turned off.He thought it was out of power, but he pressed the power button and turned it on again, and the power was still 70%.
He looked at the call to remind him that Shen Feng really wanted to look for him.There is also Zheng Xueqing, and another strange number.
Zheng Xi thought that group of numbers looked familiar. He opened the information section and found that it belonged to Shen Qian.
When Shen Qian notified him that Shen Feng was hospitalized, she asked if he could meet with Shen Feng after talking with him.Zheng Xi didn't want to see him at first, but thinking about leaving soon, it's better to say goodbye, so as to see what Shen Qian wants to talk about.
He first called Shen Feng back, saying that he still had something to do and would go to the hospital in the afternoon.Then she called Shen Qian again.Shen Qian was in class, and when she heard him say that she would leave in the evening, she immediately asked for his location, and ran out without class.
Zheng Xi found a place to eat Western-style simple meals near the hospital, chose an open-air booth, and waited while eating.
Today's sky is very blue, the clouds are as fluffy as cotton candy, and the wind blowing past the ears from time to time brings the tranquil fragrance of magnolia flowers, which is refreshing.Zheng Xi turned around and searched for a while, and found that the green belt of this street was planted with magnolia trees.
He put down the knife and fork, took out a mirrorless camera from his backpack, adjusted it, and started shooting.
Shen Qian broke into the camera suddenly.
Next to the boulevard in the afternoon, a girl in a mint-colored T-shirt and a white skirt ran from a distance.Her ponytail was a little loose, her cheeks were rosy from running, and even the sweat from her temples fell vividly into Zheng Xi's eyes.
Zheng Xi curled his mouth and pressed the shutter a few times.
Shen Qian saw that he was patting herself, but she still didn't restrain herself carelessly.
As soon as she put the bag on the chair, she loosened the rubber band and let her black hair hang down, without any image burden.Zheng Xi handed over his glass of lemonade: "I haven't touched it before, you should drink some first."
Shen Qian drank it all in one gulp, and fanned the wind with the back of her hand: "I'm so hot, there was a car accident in the street ahead, and the traffic was severe, so I ran here."
Zheng Xi looked pretty good at first, but when she heard her talking about the car accident, she subconsciously raised her head to look in that direction.Seeing his gaze, Shen Qian suddenly realized something, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring up this topic on purpose. Don't worry, no one was injured, just bumped into the guardrail and blocked the road."
Zheng Xi looked away: "It's okay, what do you want to eat?"
Shen Qian took the menu from the waiter, ordered a drink casually, and then looked at Zheng Xi: "Why did you leave in such a hurry?"
Zheng Xi: "It's nothing, I was going back to attend the graduation ceremony."
Shen Qian: "My uncle is walking with you, right?"
Zheng Xi didn't know what Shen Feng told her, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Shen Qian was tying her hair, she saw through his worries at a glance, and said with a smile: "I have a very good relationship with my uncle, don't worry, I will never tell my family about my uncle's affairs, and he also told me what happened this time." mine."
Hearing her talking about this, Zheng Xi realized that he didn't know the situation of Shen Feng's family. What Jin Jing said yesterday made him feel that he needed to know a little bit more, so he said: "You and Shen Feng seem to be about the same age. Brothers with your father?"
"Yes, my dad's heart is not good, he has a congenital heart leak. Although he has been cured for a long time, the doctor's advice is that he can't work hard, so my grandparents gave birth to my uncle again. 9 years old."
Shen Qian took the lemon tea handed by the waiter, took a sip, and continued: "Uncle loves me very much. When he was still studying, he would often take me on trips, so I am closer to him."
Zheng Xi looked at her thoughtfully: "Then when did you know about that?"
Shen Qian stirred the ice cubes in the glass with a straw, her eyes became ambiguous: "What's the matter?"
Zheng Xi couldn't react for a while because of her narrow expression, but Shen Qian said excitedly as if she had discovered a new world: "Hey, are you blushing? Isn't it, are you really blushing?"
Her yelling made Zheng Xi lose face immediately, she stood up and was about to leave, but Shen Qian hurriedly dragged him to apologize.Because the movements of the two were so big that the surrounding guests turned their heads to look at them.
Zheng Xi couldn't stand being stared at by strangers like this. Shen Qian laughed again: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, sit down first. Don't you want to hear something from me? You can leave after leaving Here's the chance."
Zheng Xi had no choice but to sit down again, and said helplessly, "Don't make such a joke next time."
Shen Qian flattened her mouth: "I see, why are you so thin-skinned, you can't even make a joke." After finishing speaking, she covered her mouth and blinked flatteringly: "I won't talk nonsense, you can ask anything you want. But there is a question I want to ask you first."
Zheng Xi leaned on the chair. Although he knew that Shen Qian had no malicious intentions, he was still not used to this kind of carefree and enthusiastic girl: "What do you want to ask?"
Shen Qian stared into his eyes: "You really don't remember my uncle at all?"
Zheng Xi was looked at by her like this, and there was a feeling of resistance in her heart: "I don't need to lie."
Shen Qian sighed, and bit her suction pipe: "I used to know that my uncle had someone he liked, but he didn't tell me who it was, and he didn't even let me see the photos. Then he was going to marry your sister suddenly, then At that time, I even asked him why he didn't fight for the person he likes. I just didn't expect that things would be so complicated."
She paused here, her eyes flickering, as if she was hesitating whether she should say the next sentence or not.
Zheng Xi looked at her indifferently, his eyes didn't seem to stay on her, but looked into the distance through her: "It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
There was a warm smile on his lips, and Shen Qian felt uncomfortable in her heart: "Zheng Xi, my uncle's feelings for you are true. He..."
"I never questioned Shen Feng's feelings." Zheng Xi didn't want to hear what Shen Qian said, so he interrupted: "His secretary Jin Jing has told me all these things, so I didn't misunderstand again."
"Then will you still accept my uncle?" Shen Qian still asked the question she wanted to ask the most in her heart.
Zheng Xi rested his palm on his forehead, blocking Shen Qian's gaze.He didn't want to answer this kind of question. Between him and Shen Feng, how could it be that he just forgot the past?Judging from what Shen Qian said just now, Shen Qian should know very little, and Shen Feng would not talk about this kind of thing to a little girl.
He glanced at the time: "I still have something to do, let's do this first."
Seeing him beckoning to pay the bill, Shen Qian hurriedly said, "Zheng Xi, I don't mean to bother you, but my uncle is a person who doesn't know how to cherish himself. Now he's injured again, and I'm really worried. Can you help me?" Is he better? Even if you are just friends now, can you take care of him more?"
