fingertip quicksand

On the phone, I heard her coughing very slightly at first, and then it gradually became more serious, and finally I was even a little afraid that she would be out of breath.

"Have you taken any medicine? It's so serious."

Listening to these concerned words, Bai Bai just said indifferently after his cough subsided

"It's okay. I've had a cold since I was a child. If I don't take medicine, I get better quickly. And I can't take bitter things, so the medicine is even worse. I can't take it at all."

Nan Jiu fell silent, and didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but asked if she had a fever, and if she felt uncomfortable besides a cough

Bai Bai also patiently explained, but it was just a common cold, just a bad cough, Nan Jiu explained a few words to drink more water and rest, then hung up the phone

Nan Jiu asked a stupid question at the pharmacy

"Is there any cold medicine that is not bitter, the kind that cures cough?"

Nan Jiu also seemed to feel that this question was a bit contradictory, and her face showed some embarrassment. The salesperson of the pharmacy smiled slightly and said

"Does the child have a cold?"

The first point of inquiry is whether it is bitter or not, which is also in line with the theory of children, Nan Jiu did not deny it, and nodded

"Actually, you don't have to take medicine. If it's not serious and you just have a cough, you can try diet therapy, such as stewed pears with rock sugar."

Nan Jiu nodded half-understood, then asked how to do it, then ran to the supermarket to buy rock candy and pears

The layout of this supermarket is very small, and Nan Jiu is very familiar with it. Although it has been a long time since I came here, I still found the things I wanted to buy quickly. When I checked out, the cashier boy seemed to know Nan Jiu.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, didn't Xiaohui come with you?"

Nan Jiu looked at the man with some hesitation, as if he had thought about it, but he still didn't remember who he was, and although the cashier was talking, his hands didn't stop, and he scanned the money very quickly. commodity

"Just a few days ago, Xiaohui also came and bought a few packs of instant noodles. She is quite thin, so she should eat more nutritious things."

Hearing this name didn't give the angry feeling as expected, but there was still a sense of heaviness in his heart, he smiled and said

"She likes to eat, just let her"

I don't know if it was because of this episode that Nan Jiu was a little absent-minded. She accidentally scalded her hands while making rock sugar stewed pears, and the hot soup splashed on the back of her hands

The back of the hand was burned red, and I turned on the faucet to rinse the place that was just scalded, and the hot tingling sensation faded a little.

The faucet was not turned off, and the sound of rushing water continued. Nan Jiu raised her hand and looked at the hot red spot, dazed in a daze.

Turning off the faucet in annoyance, clenched fists with both hands on the sink, looking at the person in the mirror, finally just sighed leisurely

I took out a spoon and tasted the taste. Although it is not delicious, it is not bad. After all, it will not be delicious even if it is made of medicinal food, but I am sure that it is not bitter, but a little sweet. greasy

However, Bai Bai seems to like eating sweets, which is totally a child's taste. Thinking of this, the haze in Nan Jiu's heart was swept away, and he carefully packed the things in the insulation box and headed towards the place where Bai Bai lived.

Maybe it's the direction of the heart, the mood may be a little urgent, and I went directly to Bai Bai's house without notifying Bai Bai in advance, such a reckless behavior is rarely seen by Nan Jiu

So after parking the car in the parking lot, it occurred to me that she didn’t seem to tell Bai Bai that she was coming. Her good upbringing made her dial the phone number after getting off the car. It’s very rude to come uninvited. for whatever reason

The phone seemed to be answered in a hurry, and it only rang three times before it was connected. In the process, Nan Jiu had already pressed the elevator, and the elevator stopped on the first floor, and it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye to reach the second underground floor

"Hey"

"I made some medicinal food for you that can cure your cough, and I brought it to you."

The elevator arrived, Nan Jiu walked in, the signal became a little intermittent in an instant, I don't know if she heard the sentence just now

At the same time, the water delivery personnel stopped the elevator and carried the bottled water. Nan Jiu saw that it seemed that the transportation would take a long time, so she backed out of the elevator again. She wanted to finish the call and also wanted the water delivery personnel to go first

But the phone had already been hung up, so Nan Jiu had no choice but to call again, the call was still answered very quickly, her tone was also very similar to when she answered the phone, very anxious

"I'm fine, don't need to eat those things"

The first sentence was this, which made the people who came here feel a little disappointed and disappointed, but they didn't show it too much

"I'm already downstairs"

"It's really not necessary, I'll be fine after a night of sleep, you can go back"

Her tone was not very good, apart from being a little anxious, she was also a little unhappy. Was she angry because she came uninvited?Nan Jiu wanted to say something else, but the other party suddenly raised the volume

"They say I'm fine"

The sudden increase in volume caused people to be shocked for a while, and Bai Bai seemed to realize that it was not good for him to speak like this, so he lowered his tone at the end, without the aggressiveness before, but what followed was unexpectedly

"I beg you"

It was a begging tone, which was even more embarrassing than the impatient roar before. Nan Jiu looked at the heat preservation box in her hand, and after a short silence, she said I got it, and then hung up Telephone

The third time I saw Bai Bai's boyfriend was in this parking lot. Seeing her here felt a little dazed and sad. The reason why Bai Bai was so anxious that he refused to let him go to her house was because of her boyfriend. come yet?

I didn't dare to think like this, for fear that it would come true, so I denied it, comforting myself that everything was just a coincidence

It's just that this ridiculous self-deception seems a bit far-fetched, so after a period of time, even I can't deceive myself

That day Nan Jiu stared at the insulated box in the car for a long time, maybe 10 minutes or 10 minutes, and wanted to get out of the car and throw it in the trash can under several impulses, but she couldn't bear it.

Unbearable and reluctant, or unable to cross the hurdle in my heart

In the end, he put the insulated box in the security room of the community. The staff in the security room was an old man in his fifties. Send it to Bai Bai, but Nan Jiu said

"If she doesn't come down to get it, you can throw it away for me."

The old man touched the insulated box. Judging from the touch, it seemed to be of great value, so he asked with some uncertainty.

"Is such a good insulation box thrown away?"

Nan Jiu fixed her eyes on the box, her expression was a little gloomy, she just smiled and nodded after a while, thanked her and left

Nan Jiu leaned her head slightly on Bai Bai's shoulder, the whole weight of her head was on her shoulder, Bai Bai didn't dodge and let her lean on

But this shoulder can't calm people down, and the thoughts are getting farther and farther away, erratic

At that moment, Nan Jiu seemed to understand something. The two often walked together, walking the muddy path or the wide road, but they didn't seem to be on the same parallel line, and they often had nothing to say along the way.

Regarding the question of Baibai's boyfriend, Nan Jiu has never asked, are you curious?Do you not want her to be in trouble?Don't be funny, it's just that I'm afraid for no reason

Afraid of the result, afraid that there is no way to continue to deceive, in fact, it takes a lot of courage to deceive yourself

But some things have to be told after all. There is no hiding, and in the end, we can only face the difficulties. Even if we are broken and bloody, we still have to know the answer. No one can live in the unknown forever.

Do you want to say again that you don't want to meet again, just like that time, you suddenly approached, warmed up the earphones in a caring way, rolled up the hair scattered at the temples, and then said those words decisively

It’s just repeating again, it’s just that there was no hope that time, but this time it gave unrealistic expectations. This way of giving a sweet date first and then a slap is really practice makes perfect, I almost believed it

But why are you still not angry? You clearly guess that she is always doing these excessive things, but you are still not angry

This is different from the feeling when I broke up with Xiaohui. Shouldn't I be very angry at being dumped?I was so angry that I didn't want to contact him anymore, but I didn't get too angry with this person at the moment, I didn't get angry, I didn't get angry, it's a bit unbelievable

Now, what is the difference between this person named Bai Bai and Xiao Hui back then?

No, there is still a difference, at least Xiaohui admits the fact that they were once together, while Baibai never admits it, not even for a moment.

Is it too eager to admit or to ease the regret in my heart, so when Bai Bai said this sentence without thinking, he never paid attention to her purpose

"Do you have something to tell me?"

A very far-fetched smile appeared on the corner of Nan Jiu's mouth. It wasn't a wry smile but it wasn't happy either. Nan Jiu said

"I don't have anything to say to you, but you, you should have something to say to me. In fact, no matter what you say, I... won't be angry or make trouble"

I want to be angry, I want to make trouble, but I can't do that

If it was true that Nan Jiu was deliberately provoking her at the beginning, but she didn't succeed that time and was thrown away, she believed that she gave up because it was a one-man show from the beginning.

But after giving up, it was Bai Bai himself who took the initiative to provoke again, but the result will be to be thrown away again, even if this is the case, do you admit it?

Let's admit it, anyway, I'm not good at retaining it, let alone retaining it

"What do you think I'm going to say"

Bai Bai probably guessed what Nan Jiu wanted to express, and felt that this girl was ridiculously stupid and pitiful. How could there be such a person in the world who always put on an indifferent attitude, but actually cared so much have to feel sorry for

Nan Jiu still kept that neither bitter nor happy smile, she didn't look at Bai Bai again, walked forward, and after a short distance, she said

"It's just wishful thinking. I seduced you last time. This time, you seduce me. It's even."

When Nan Jiu hadn't gone far, Bai Bai stepped forward quickly and grabbed Nan Jiu's arm

She turned her head and looked at the person who was holding her arm, she had nothing in her eyes, as if she was not sad, but also a little sad

"If you pull me again, you really can't get rid of me."
