one to two

A row of beauty trees were planted on the side of the road outside the No. [-] Hospital. The flowering period was flourishing, and the pink and purple buds were densely blooming on the branches. At a glance, the whole tree was bright red and extremely brilliant.

The flowers bloomed vigorously and festively, adding a tree of tender hope to the hospital behind the road.

Qi Xin came to Yan Zhiying's ward for the second time, and heard Yan Zhiying's voice before entering the door. Judging from the unquestionable tone, he must be talking to Qi Junliang.

"Didn't I say I'm going home today? Why do I have to stay here for one night? I'm not sick."

"I've asked Director Wang carefully. Your temperature didn't come down until this afternoon. You should stay an extra night. You should rest for a while, so Ah Xin and I can rest assured."

"Mom, why don't you stay one more night to look better." Qi Xin walked into the room, put the gift box that Ai You specially put on her car on the bedside table, and then put the carnations in a vase, plain colored There was a bright color in the room.

Yan Zhiying heard the sound and looked, Qi Xin only had concern in his eyes, and the sadness before leaving last night was completely gone.

"You are also very tired at work. You don't have to run back and forth every day. Your dad is here." Yan Zhiying's voice was much softer, and it was familiar and strange to Qi Xin's ears. It seemed that this gentle tone had been silent in the past. Here, there is no sound, I didn't expect to hear it.

"Mom, I'm not tired." Qi Xin said, cut open the grapefruit in the fruit basket, carefully peeled off the skin, and put them into the fruit plate one by one.

"Ah Xin, will you go back to grandpa's house with us on the Mid-Autumn Festival or go there by yourself?" Qi Junliang took a grapefruit and handed it to Yan Zhiying, then turned to ask Qi Xin.

"We're spending the Mid-Autumn Festival at Grandpa's house this year?" Qi Xin was a little puzzled.

Old man Qi has been retired for many years, and after taking off the burden on his shoulders, he no longer asks more questions about political affairs, and only tells his sons what they should do and what they should not do.After Qi Xin's grandmother passed away, he was depressed for a while, and then he became more indifferent to the world. He often went to play with the people in the elderly activity center, but he didn't spend much time at home. To be filial.

The brothers of the Qi family didn't quite approve of the old man running outside all the year round at such an advanced age. Although it was for fun and relaxation, if something bad happened, who could rush to the scene immediately.It's just that I couldn't resist the old man's stubbornness, so I had no choice but to express my feelings to the person in charge of the activity center in other ways in private, and said a few more words to help take care of him.

"Yes, your grandpa just came back two days ago, I hope he can stay at home longer this time."

"I'll go there by myself, have lunch or dinner?" The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, if we celebrate the festival at grandpa's house, she and Qi Yuelai will definitely be there, so Ai You will celebrate the festival alone.Qi Xin thought to herself, feeling a little reluctance in her heart, and wanted to spend more time with Ai You.

Since when did you want this person to be in your sight all the time?

Qi Xin once thought that she could be rational enough to deal with even the most inexplicable feelings.Layers of shielding, but the love for Ai You is like a bud sprouting out of the ground, breaking through the last layer of protection.Blind suppression can only make the freshmen's emotions disappear. Day by day, unexpectedly, the feelings between the two have become intertwined like vines, and it is difficult to separate them.

Qi Xin was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she found that no one answered her question just now. She turned her head to look at Qi Junliang, and asked again: "Have you decided the time yet?"

Qi Junliang's eyes darkened, he glanced at Yan Zhiying with a little embarrassment, and replied: "Dinner, have dinner, so that we can enjoy the moon."

Qi Xin was originally surprised at Qi Junliang's inexplicable embarrassment, but when he looked at Yan Zhiying, he suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled lightly, and then opened the gift box she brought over. The unopened box of sun cakes is the last dessert Fang Suqing sent back. The skin is crispy and loose, and the filling is not sticky. It is sweet and delicious, not greasy or sticky.

"Try this, it tastes good." Qi Xin stuffed Yan Zhiying and Qi Junliang with a piece of sun cake, and didn't say much about the dinner party time, and let some things go.She chatted with the two of them for a while, and as the sky gradually darkened, Qi Junliang turned on the lights in the room, walked to the window and took a few glances out.

"It's getting dark, Ah Xin, go back. We'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. You should rest well at night, don't worry about driving, and be careful." Qi Junliang said, walked back to Yan Zhiying, and patted her on the back, wishing her Also say something.

"Go back, you don't need to come tomorrow." After a long pause, Yan Zhiying only said this and didn't mention anything else.This surprised Qi Xin a little.She nodded, turned around and walked out with her bag in her hand, before taking two steps, she returned to the bedside table and took two pieces of sun crisps from the box.

"Take it back if you like it." Yan Zhiying felt warm when she saw her childlike appearance.

"No, this is specially brought to you. I'll take two pads to pad my stomach." Qi Xin smiled slightly and said goodbye. After a long time, she finally left Yan Zhiying with a smile on her face.

The car turned out of the hospital, and the pink petals of the beauty tree on the side of the road were blooming brightly under the street lamp in the evening wind. Kazuki's brilliance, Kazuki's hope, even if these petals will fall one day, after the flowers fall, there will be fruit.

When Qi Xin arrived home, Ai You was cooking and Qi Yue came to watch a movie on the sofa.

"Sister, you're back! Come and sit down!" Although Qi Yuelai lowered his voice, he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.

"What's the matter?" Qi Xin said, took out the two small packets of sun cakes from the bag and put them on the coffee table, then turned around and prepared to walk to the kitchen.

Qi Yuelai's eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab it.Seeing this, Qi Xin tilted her head and glanced at Qi Yuelai. Before she could speak, she heard Qi Yue say: "I know, I want to save a pack for Ai You, she likes to eat this."

Qi Xin smiled, didn't speak, went into the kitchen and washed her hands, Ai You was frying in the pot, the aroma of celery shredded pork penetrated into her stomach.

"I came back early today." Ai You looked at Qi Xin with a relaxed expression.

"Well, my dad is there, so let me come back early, and my mom will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Qi Xin said while pinching a sliced ​​cucumber from the plate.

"It's raw again. I'll fry it soon. You can help me take out the rice." Ai You said, turned off the fire, put the dishes on a plate, and poured oil into the pot.

Qi Xin came out with the meal, Qi Yuelai had already turned off the video, and whispered next to her: "Ai You told me yesterday that she has a rival in love."

"Wash your hands and eat." Qi Xin glanced at Qi Yuelai, put down the rice cooker and went into the kitchen again.Ai You had already told her what happened yesterday before going to bed, and thinking of the scene Ai You said was funny, she couldn't help but also want to know when the name would appear on the card.However, no matter whether it has a name or whose name it is, it can't compare to a plate of cucumbers that Ai You casually fried.

"Sister, how did you arrange for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qi Yue came to fill everyone's bowls with soup. She was in the middle of sleep last night when she was woken up by Qi Juncai's phone call. She briefly explained the arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival and hung up. Qi Yuelai responded in a daze, thinking that she was dreaming when she woke up.

Qi Xin originally planned to wait for Qi Yue to leave before talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival with Ai You. At first, she didn't expect to celebrate the festival with the whole family. Now that the elders in the family have arranged the itinerary, she has no reason not to be there.It's just that she's gone, what about Ai You?

"Go to grandpa's house for dinner." After Qi Xin finished speaking to Qi Yue, she turned her head to look at Ai You, hesitated for a while and said softly, "I'll be back early the next morning."

"Okay." After listening carefully, Ai You smiled slightly, without saying much, and helped Qi Xin pick up a cucumber with chopsticks.

Qi Xin's hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air. This was the first time the two of them had to spend the night apart after being together. Ai You's too normal reaction was a bit beyond her expectation. She originally thought that she would see reluctance in Ai You's eyes. Or you can see disappointment on her face, but there is nothing, it seems that even the "good" is so understated, does Ai You not miss her at all when she is leaving?

Qi Xin lowered her eyes, the spoon fell into the bowl, and her heart sank.The taste of the soup was as delicious as usual, and she drank it slowly, slowly suppressing the inexplicable emotion in her heart.She knows that some of her thoughts are irrational now, but she just can't control it. It seems that her control over her feelings is getting weaker and weaker. response.

"Ai You, why don't you go with us, or it would be boring to spend the holidays at home alone." Qi Yuelai's attention was completely on the dishes, and Qi Xin didn't notice the emotional change.

"I'm used to it." Ai You said, eating the last mouthful of rice in the bowl, took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "But you, there must be a lot of people in the car that day, so you must pay attention to safety when driving."

Qi Xin sighed secretly when she heard this, she took a deep look at Ai You, then took Ai You's bowl and helped her fill half a bowl of soup.A word of getting used to it made her wake up immediately, how could she forget that Ai You has always been like this, living her life quietly by herself, quietly helping her prepare everything she needs in work and life, by herself Speaking of going to grandpa's house for the holidays, what else could she say besides saying yes?

After eating, Qi Yuelai packed the trash of Ai You's house and left, only the sound of washing dishes could be heard in the room.

"Why are you here, I'll do it, I'll do it, you go take a shower first." Seeing that Qi Xin rolled up his sleeves and was about to squeeze into the sink with a rag, Ai You hurriedly stopped her.

"I'll help you, you cook and wash the dishes, aren't you tired?" Qi Xin said softly, she is not a rich lady, so what's the point of washing the dishes.

"I'm not tired. If you're in a hurry, I don't mind if you sing a song to listen to it. It's so emotional." Ai You moved quickly, dividing the big plates and small bowls in an orderly manner, raising eyebrows at Qi Xin from time to time, smiling all over her eyes meaning.

Infected by Ai You's smile, Qi Xin silently picked up the dishes she washed and put them into the disinfection cabinet.

"Why don't I stay with you at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Qi Xin blurted out what was on his mind as his mind became hot.

Ai You washed her hands, took her to the bathroom, and said while taking off her clothes: "Auntie's body hasn't recovered yet, you'd better stay with her obediently, I'll stay at home and I won't run away, don't you tell me Are you coming back early the next morning?"

After Ai You finished speaking, she didn't hear Qi Xin's response. She washed off the cleanser on her face and opened her eyes. Qi Xin pursed her lips, with a trace of dissatisfaction hanging from the corners of her lips.

"The moon on the fifteenth is round on the sixteenth. When you come back, we will celebrate the sixteenth day. It's called the full moon festival. Haha, what do you think?" Ai You squeezed toothpaste on the toothbrushes of the two of them. , looked at Qi Xin again, with questioning eyes.

"It's really ugly." Qi Xin muttered, and took the brushing teeth from Ai You. She had already adjusted her mood at the dinner table. Haunting in her chest, it's not that she doesn't understand what it means to take care of the overall situation, but the person next to her is too confused tonight.

Ai You looked at Qi Xin's gloomy expression, her heart was mixed with sourness and sweetness, she walked behind Qi Xin, gently pressed her back shoulder, turned her head to look at the person in the mirror and said softly: "If we say that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Will it be different from the past, only that I will miss you especially at night, like you go to a meeting, to a social event, to the hospital, and after you leave, your image will always appear in my head, thinking of you, I will feel at ease.”

Qi Xin brushed her teeth, and remained silent for a long time. She didn't speak until she finished rinsing her mouth. Ai You's gaze followed her, and she blinked her eyes, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Are you shy?" Ai You leaned in front of Qi Xin naked, not caring about the messy foam on her body.

Qi Xin glared at her, took a step back, looked her up and down several times while unbuttoning her, and said in a low voice, "Let's see who is shy later."
