Cloudy but no rain

March and April in this northern city can perfectly match the March and April in ancient poems.

Perhaps it was because poets lived in the north in ancient times, so most of the spring they wrote was the spring in the north. Before Su Fengmian came to the north, he never knew why the grass grew and the warblers flew, and the willows on the embankment were so beautiful—he had seen these things. There are too many. In the south, the willows are green all year round and the grass is green. It seems that it is not worth writing a poem.

Because he lived in the south since he was a child, and he also went to university in the south, so he is very familiar with it and misses it very much. The south seems to be a cradle and the real home in his memory.

He remembered that the small southern town was always humid and warm, especially during the rainy season in March and April. When the tide returned, the walls and pillows were always sticky, and the clothes could not be dried. Although the weather was not cold, the room was always chilly. The cold will not get better intermittently.

What his roommates teased him the most was that as a medical student, he couldn't cure his cold.God knows that clinical students can't perform surgery on themselves, and they can't prescribe medicines for themselves. Prescription medicines still have to go to the hospital or pharmacy to prescribe them.

But he didn't have such a poor physique in his impression. Physical education was as consistent as his daily morning run. Except for the spring flu, he basically didn't get sick.

On the contrary, after entering the age of 30, these exercise habits gradually disappeared, and the body really became a little bit worse.

When his father just passed away, he had a rare asthma attack. He hadn’t had it since he was seven years old. It was already serious when he relapsed when he was in his thirties. He took medicine for a while, and he stopped taking it after he got better a few years ago However, in the two years since he entered his forties, he seems to feel uncomfortable in his chest again, and he is always on the verge of pneumonia when he has a severe cold.

The flu, which used to be cured by taking some cold medicine, now takes a week or two.When the immune system is weakened, there will be fever.

So don't mention drinking too much, he doesn't even dare to stay up late, the senior high school teacher is under a lot of pressure, Su Fengmian also tried his best to urge himself to go to bed earlier.

Su Fengmian woke up in a daze, his eyes were dry and swollen, his forehead was heavy as if stuffed with pebbles, his temples throbbed, as if a miner lived inside, gouging his head one after another.

He touched his forehead subconsciously, it was cold, colder than his hands, and he was relieved, at least he didn't have a cold or fever, and he probably got dizzy because he drank too much last night.

He took the phone and put it under the quilt to warm it up, but found that the color of the quilt was not the familiar gray, but... the color of the bed sheets, bright red and purple.

He froze for a moment, a little sober, stood up and looked around, the color of the cabinet and the wall was cold gray, white and black, which was incompatible with the flowered quilt on his body, but it was obviously not his home. .

"Wake up, drink some water when you wake up." Su Fengmian heard that the door of the room was opened, and Ji Zhifei stood there with an unnatural expression. He pointed to the thermos cup on the bedside table and said, "I'll help you ask for leave." gone."

"How did you help?" Su Fengmian knew that the words were silly when he uttered them, and it sounded like he was still drunk.

"..." Ji Zhifei was silent for a moment, "You gave me your phone last night and asked me to invite you. Did you really drink so much? You can't even remember this."

"Uh... remember, remember, that will trouble you."

Su Fengmian actually remembered some.

He remembered that Ji Zhifei helped him change his clothes last night, washed his face and wiped his body, and Ji Zhifei fed him a little water, the water was not plain water, but bitter, it might be some hangover medicine some type of.Of course, I also vaguely remember that I and Ji Zhifei said which leader to ask for leave and how to ask for leave. Su Fengmian remembers that he didn't seem to make it clear. At that time, his consciousness was very chaotic, and he couldn't organize his words.

In short, I didn't care about being sorry last night, I just felt very tired, so Ji Zhifei could do whatever he wanted.

But when he was taken care of by Ji Zhifei, he was very happy, as if he hadn't felt happy for a long time. This kind of happiness could even be called happiness—maybe it was the happiness compared with Ye Fuyi, or maybe it was just It was because the other party was Ji Zhifei, or it might just be the effect of alcohol.

he does not know.

Su Fengmian embarrassingly took the thermos cup on the cabinet, unscrewed it, a gust of hot air came out, steamed his face, and he felt his cold face became much warmer.

Su Fengmian drank a few sips, found that Ji Zhifei was still standing at the door, and asked, "What are you doing standing there?"

"I'll be able to go to work when you wake up." Ji Zhifei smiled lightly, "What do you think I'm doing?"

"No, nothing."

Su Fengmian drank the water in the thermos like a stuffy wine to the last drop, lifted the quilt, only to find that he was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, he was stunned, looked at the pajamas like a hospital gown, and couldn't help asking : "Well, is this a hospital gown?"

"Yes, I'm afraid you won't be used to wearing my pajamas." Ji Zhifei replied, he usually wears a pajamas, and sleeps naked more often, and there are not many serious pajamas at home.

"Oh, what about my clothes...?" Su Fengmian stood up, and the blue and white striped "pajamas" fell down, which made him look a little sick, maybe because he drank too much last night, causing His expression is rather tired, and there are a little fine lines around his eyes, and his lips are not as full as they were more than ten years ago, and they will be a little dry, especially in a heating room.

In the past, Su Fengmian was like a peach, young and young, the color of his pupils was not pure black, but a little brown, and his whole body was translucent.

At the beginning, Ji Zhifei even felt that this person was a little too young, and he didn't look like a college student.

And the current Su Fengmian is the appearance after the years, very mature.

Although the ripe wheat is bent over, it has a very strong fragrance, which is what Su Fengmian feels to Ji Zhifei at the moment.Including last night, including before last night, from the moment he saw Su Fengmian, Ji Zhifei knew that the years of unnecessary waiting and illusions had not been shattered, it had become more three-dimensional and fuller, like wheat about to be harvested.

Ji Zhifei had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't know if he could become a happy farmer harvesting wheat, but his heartbeat was indeed accelerating.

He never thought that Su Fengmian would also grow old and become vicissitudes, but he didn't hate this appearance, on the contrary, he was gratified. Before these few months, before reuniting with Su Fengmian, Ji Zhifei thought that Su Fengmian's appearance could only stay in the In the depths of my memory, when I am busy, I will occasionally forget that face full of longing. Only by looking at the graduation group photo can I evoke his verdant years.

"Ji Zhifei?" Su Fengmian asked again, "Where are my clothes?"

Ji Zhifei came to his senses: "Oh, it's in the laundry room. It shouldn't be dry. I just dried it last night."

"Well, why don't you go to work first, and I'll leave when the clothes are dry."

"I'm actually..." Ji Zhifei wanted to say that he didn't have to rush to the hospital today. He was on night shift today. Logically speaking, he would sleep at home during the day, but if he really stayed alone with Su Fengmian In the house, he didn't know what to do.

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry to leave after lunch and sleep. What do you want to eat?"

Su Fengmian waved his hand: "Let me do it for you, I troubled you a lot last night."

"But you just woke up..." Before Ji Zhifei finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took out the cell phone and took a look. It was the dean's call. He had to answer it, so he had to tell Su Fengmian the refrigerator In the kitchen, there was everything in the refrigerator, so I went to the balcony to answer the phone.

After Ji Zhifei left the room, Su Fengmian picked up his phone to check the news.

Ye Fuyi didn't come to hear the news, the conversation still stopped before going to the restaurant for dinner yesterday, and he didn't make a phone call. The only new news is a reluctant instruction from the school leader and a missed call from Su Luoqi.

He checked the time, and it was already noon, so he made the bed again, and called Su Luoqi back, so that she wouldn't worry.

If an underage girl is really worried, then he is too useless as a teacher and surrogate guardian.

Su Fengmian smiled helplessly at the phone.

"Hello, Dean."

"Director Ji, aren't you on day shift today?" The dean's voice didn't sound so serious, so Ji Zhifei relaxed a little.

He is most afraid of encountering any difficult work today, he doesn't want Su Fengmian to stay here alone.

"Well, it's not worth it, I work the night shift."

"Oh, that's right. Didn't you apply for the place to study in London last year? What I want to tell you is that this place has been approved. You can go there around the end of this year. The handover has not yet started. Work, but it's coming soon. Then you have to prepare some procedures during this time, I will ask my assistant to find you at night and tell you what materials you need, you just need to prepare."

Ji Zhifei's heart skipped a beat.

It has been a long time since he applied to study abroad. From the middle of last year to the present, he thought that the lack of news for so long meant that he was not approved, and he didn't take it at ease.

Although in such a hospital, a semi-private hospital, it is very important to have a period of overseas study experience, which will be very helpful for his future promotion.

And he really wanted to go out and learn something, break the rules and live for half his life.But now he is a little hesitant.

"Can you hear me, Director Ji?"

"I can hear you, Dean, I understand. I will go back to the hospital to deal with it at night. Thank you, Dean."

"Okay, then hang up first."

Ji Zhifei hung up the phone, leaned against the balcony guardrail, and took a deep breath. The most obvious feature of this city is its dryness when the seasons change. There are even small blades hidden in the air. When inhaled into the nasal cavity, it feels cold and painful. The slight airflow also has sharp edges, piercing into the lung cavity.

London is nearly 40 kilometers away from this city, spanning hundreds of cities, large and small rivers and mountains. In theory, it is unrealistic for a [-]-year-old middle-aged man to suddenly change his living and working environment.What middle-aged people want to pursue is stability.

But Ji Zhifei hasn't really stabilized over the years - in his mind, stability means starting a family rather than starting a career. A career will not bring stability, but instead bring instability.

Only when you get married and find the person who will spend the rest of your life with you, can you be called stable.

He thought he would never find it. He applied for this project last year. He imagined that he would not be so happy if he could get a quota. He left a familiar city and went to a completely strange foreign country. It is a challenge.

But no matter how unhappy you are, at least you won't hesitate as much as you do now.

He also knew the reason for the hesitation.

"What do you want for lunch?" Seeing that Ji Zhifei hadn't called, Su Fengmian opened the balcony door and poked his head out to ask him, but felt that it was not polite, so he opened the door and closed it again, "Oh no Excuse me, did I interrupt you..."

"No, I'm just blowing the air." Ji Zhifei turned and entered the room.

"Come in, it's very cold outside." Su Fengmian breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he would inadvertently cause some trouble, "Let me cook some home-cooked dishes, I'm not good at too complicated ones, so you just eat it."

"Okay, thank you."

"I'm right to thank you."

"Forget it, they're all old classmates, so you're welcome."

If Ji Zhifei didn't say this sentence, Su Fengmian would have almost forgotten that they were "old classmates", and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Ji Zhifei, just in time to meet his gaze.

Ji Zhifei didn't realize that there was something wrong with this sentence. When he realized it, Su Fengmian just gave him a gentle smile and went to the kitchen.
