Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

wedge

Gynecological ward.

The LCD screen on the wall displays the names of the inpatients.

"Ward 6, bed 16, Wu Linxi."

Wu Linxi was lying on the hospital bed, dying.

The doctor on rounds held the medical records and said, "Wu Linxi, threatened miscarriage. The B-ultrasound showed no fetal heartbeat. The blood HCG level has been declining over the past few days. There is no point in preserving the fetus. A uterine curettage surgery will be scheduled this afternoon."

Wu Linxi looked at the doctor without saying anything, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Thank you, doctor." said the mother.

The doctor closed the medical record and said professionally: "Be optimistic. You are still young and can have children in the future."

After saying this the doctor walked out of the ward.

The mother leaned over and looked at Wu Linxi. "Maybe it's a good thing that the child is gone. Qi Xiangtian's life or death is unknown. You can't be unmarried and have a child."

Wu Linxi burst into tears, "He just has no information for the time being, he won't abandon me."

The mother said, "Lin Xi, it has been more than 20 days since the explosion and there has been no news from Qi Xiangtian. You don't have to deceive yourself. We have to face reality."

Wu Linxi looked out the window, and Qi Xiangtian's words floated past his ears:

"Lin Xi, why is it called Lin Xi?"

"When my mother was pregnant with me, she dreamed of a stream in the woods."

"So - what would our child be called? I wonder what you'd dream about?"

"My name is -- Qi -- the Great Sage Tian."

"If we give birth to a Monkey King, we will let him take us around the world on his somersault cloud."

……

Thinking of this, Wu Linxi burst into tears, "What if he comes back one day? What should I tell him when he asks about the child?"

"He won't come back." said the mother. "He has gone to another world."

"Another world?" Wu Linxi closed his eyes. "No, I can feel that we are still in the same world."

The love story of Qi Xiangtian and Wu Linxi: a stoic computer doctor and a beautiful and lively radio host

text:

"Thank you for the last call from the audience. Lin Xi is very fortunate to be the one you confide in and to be able to bring you warmth and comfort. Today's Evening Breeze Talk column ends here. I am very happy to accompany you during the rush hour after get off work. I wish you a happy life and work after work and on the way. Dear audience friends, we will see you tomorrow night at six o'clock."

Through the large and bright glass window, seeing director Zeng Yifan making an "OK" gesture, Wu Linxi habitually took off his headset, turned off the loudspeaker, drank a sip of warm water placed beside him, tidied up his hair that was messed up by the headset, and walked out of the recording studio.

"Let's eat together—" Seeing Wu Linxi coming out, Zeng Yifan stood up and looked at her from a distance and said, "I found a new dessert shop that has a taro ball candy. I'm sure you will like it."

Wu Linxi stroked her hair with a smile, "I can't go today. Something happened at home. Thank you, Brother Zeng."

Zeng Yifan walked up to Wu Linxi and looked at her, "Then I'll take you home."

"Don't bother Brother Zeng. I'll drive." Wu Linxi still had a sweet smile on her face. She turned and walked into the locker room beside her.

"Oh——" Zeng Yifan felt a little disappointed. He specially tuned into this program just to be able to get off work with Wu Linxi every day, have a chance to have dinner with her and send her home.

After a while, Wu Linxi came out of the locker room. She had changed into a dark green windbreaker, coffee-colored pants, and shallow leather boots of the same color. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, and her lipstick was lightly colored.

"Lin Xi, you are so beautiful. Are you going on a date?" Chen Rong walked into the recording studio. After the commercial, she would continue to host the next show.

"No - Sister Rong, stop joking," Wu Linxi smiled, "You dress like this every day, right?"

Zeng Yifan couldn't help but look at Wu Linxi. He was afraid that Wu Linxi was really going on a date. He had been paying attention to her openly since the day she joined the radio station. Four years had passed, and his attention seemed to have only earned him a "Brother Zeng". Even if they had dinner together and sent her home, their relationship had never moved forward a step.

"Director Zeng, aren't you going to send Linxi home?" Chen Rong asked Zeng Yifan, but she looked at Wu Linxi with a teasing look.

"Linxi has something going on at home today." Zeng Yifan's eyes stayed on Wu Linxi.

"Look at our director Zeng's eyes, he seems to be eager to stick to Lin Xi and follow her." Night shift director Tang Zeming walked in and sat at his seat. He was always serious and spoke without expression, and even jokes seemed to become serious matters.

Chen Rong smiled quietly and said nothing. It was no longer a secret in the radio station that Zeng Yifan liked Wu Linxi. Zeng Yifan was not bad in terms of conditions. He had a master's degree, was a local, his parents were high-ranking officials, he had a car and a house, and he was not bad looking. However, Wu Linxi had never responded to him.

Wu Linxi was afraid that they would joke around again, so she quickly opened the door and said hello to them: "I'm leaving first. See you tomorrow."

----------------------

Wu Linxi drove to the downstairs of Xin'an Community according to the location navigation sent by her father. After parking the car, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the message left by her father.

"Building 7, Floor , Room --" Wu Linxi read while looking up at the numbers on the buildings in the community and walked to the downstairs of Building .

The cell phone rang, and my father called to urge me, "Xixi, have you arrived yet?"

"I'm downstairs—" Wu Linxi replied.

She took the elevator to the 16th floor and found Room 6. Her father Wu Cheng and mother Yu Huanmei were standing at the door waiting for her.

"Mom and Dad, why are you in such a hurry? Why do you have to come and see the house tonight?" Wu Linxi asked.

Yu Huanmei took Wu Linxi into the room and said as they walked: "This house has a good location, is close to your workplace, has a suitable price, and has just been renovated. It is especially suitable for you."

"You don't have time during the day, so I can only take you to see the house at night." Wu Cheng followed the mother and daughter, "Take a look first, do you like it?"

Wu Linxi looked around and saw that the living room was very spacious, with a balcony, European-style decoration, warm colors, and two bathrooms and two bedrooms.

The young man from the real estate agency came over and introduced her, "This house is the best of the best. It has just been renovated. The owner is going to move to Beijing with her husband. She is also a girl with taste. The furniture and pipes are all imported brands, environmentally friendly and formaldehyde-free. The owner is in a hurry to sell the house and wants to buy a house in Beijing to pay the down payment. It is basically sold at the original price, which is really a good deal. That's why your parents are in a hurry to take you to see the house."

"Which direction does the balcony face?" Wu Linxi walked to the balcony. The balcony was quite large and had guardrails and screens already installed.

"It faces east, and the sunlight is especially good in the morning." said the young agent.

"How about it? Do you like it? Let's go to the bedroom and take a look." Wu Cheng said to Wu Linxi.

Wu Linxi nodded. She liked this big balcony very much. Every morning a ray of sunshine could shine into the house, filling it with warmth and hope.

"Ms. Wu, you are so lucky. Your parents have bought a house for you." The real estate agent followed her into the bedroom.

"She is our only daughter. People say that we must buy a house for our daughter before she gets married. Even if she lives with her in-laws after marriage, she can stand up when we have a quarrel occasionally and we can go back to our own house," said Yu Huanmei.

Wu Linxi smiled and said, "Mom - you think too far ahead."

"Not far. You will be 28 soon. I will retire the year after next. You should think carefully about getting married and decide on it within next year. Then I can take care of your children after I retire." Yu Huanmei said bluntly.

"There are outsiders here?" Wu Linxi whispered in Yu Huanmei's ear, "Why don't you talk about this topic when there is no one around."

Yu Huanmei smiled and said, "You should hurry up if you are afraid that I will scold you."

Wu Linxi nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I will hurry up and look at the house first."

After looking around the house several times and asking about the owner's specific situation and house price, Wu Linxi said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I've decided. This is the house. You have looked at so many houses in the past few months. This one should be the one that everyone is satisfied with."

"Okay..." Yu Huanmei nodded with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether your father and I are satisfied or not, the main thing is that you like it."

"We'll pay the down payment for you," Wu Cheng said. "You can pay the monthly installments yourself. Is that a problem?"

Wu Linxi raised the corner of her mouth, and she took Wu Cheng's arm and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I can also pay part of the down payment. I have worked for four years and I have some savings."

"You can keep your savings for the monthly installments," Wu Cheng said. "As for the down payment, consider it as a wedding gift from your mother and I."

Wu Linxi frowned and muttered, "My boyfriend doesn't even know where the wedding gift is..."

Yu Huanmei took the opportunity to say, "So you have to hurry up, otherwise it will be a shame for our wedding gift."

The agent smiled happily, "Uncle and aunt are really good Chinese parents."
