The selfish gene

Jianxing's Kangkang Pet Hospital has a total of two floors plus a small attic: the first floor is the outpatient clinic, observation area, and water hanging area; the second floor is the surgery, hospitalization, and imaging area.Usually the flow of people is mainly concentrated on the first floor, and the second floor is relatively clean.

Going down from the attic, I saw Ji Chenfeng sitting alone in front of the long bar in the lobby on the second floor, with his laptop on, filling out something.Approaching him and looking behind him, it turned out to be the hospital records.

"I'm hungry." My chin rested on his shoulder, and I pawed at him like a sloth.

Maybe it was because he was too focused in the front and didn't hear anyone approaching. Ji Chenfeng turned his head suddenly, and his whole body tensed up. Only when he saw that it was me did he relax his muscles again.

I let go of him a little: "Ah, did it scare you?"

Although cochlear implants can help hearing-impaired people restore their hearing, they still have defects in the recognition of sound sources, and cannot grasp the distance and direction of sound well.Ji Chenfeng is so accommodating to me that I always forget his physical disability.Obviously, I should engrave these basic common senses in my heart and pay attention to them from time to time.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." I reached out and walked around in front of him, patted his heart lightly, and said, "Next time I will remember to speak first."

Ji Chenfeng held my hand, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Someone will come up at any time, you should restrain yourself. There are steamed stuffed buns and tofu nao in the tea room. You can warm them up and eat them after you wash up."

I kissed him heavily on the cheek: "Got it." Saying that, I straightened up and walked to the bathroom.

The pantry also has kitchen functions. In addition to conventional appliances such as coffee machines, refrigerators, and microwave ovens, kitchen appliances such as induction cookers and range hoods are also equipped.

The buns and tofu nao are placed on the cooking table, very conspicuous.It’s summer, it doesn’t matter whether it’s heated or not. I bite the bun and bring the tofu brain directly to the bar table outside.

Sitting opposite to Ji Chenfeng, he didn't forget to watch him work while eating, his eyes were glued to him, and he couldn't get enough of it.

"Will it taste better to watch me eat?" Ji Chenfeng raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at me.

It's okay if he doesn't look at me, but when I look at me, I feel... It's a pity not to do something to tease him.

Think about it and put it into action.I threw off the slippers, and hooked his calf with one foot under the bar, entangled and rubbed vaguely, but on the surface, I still looked ordinary.

"Dr. Ji's beauty is enough to turn ordinary food into a Michelin-starred meal." I said.

There was a pause in typing, and it took Ji Chenfeng a while to speak: "Sang Nian, I can't work like you are."

Then don't work, just concentrate on accompanying me.

However, thinking about it, since I just reconciled yesterday, I couldn't immediately reveal my nature and get carried away, so I obediently put my feet back.

"Oh." I buried my head and ate in silence, without disturbing him again.

After a few minutes, a mobile phone was suddenly pushed in front of me, and the screen froze on the SMS chat page.Ji Chenfeng didn't save the other party's name, so a string of phone numbers is displayed on the top, and the profile picture is also gray.

The length of the information on the left is obviously several times that of the right. After quickly scanning the dialogue, the mood gradually transitioned from doubt at the beginning to anger.

"Zhou Jiyu still contacting you?" I raised my head and asked Ji Chenfeng, my eyes were about to burst into flames.

The latest text message was received this morning. Zhou Jiyu said that he was going to go abroad with his boyfriend, and he might not come back in the future, so he asked Ji Chenfeng to take care of himself.The one above this one is a series of links, showing that the time is February this year, and counting the days, it happens to be New Year's Eve.When I clicked on the link, I jumped to the news that "the young owner of Zhengyi Group married Gu's only daughter".

Swiping up further, Zhou Jiyu asked Ji Chenfeng when it was convenient, he wanted to visit Yan Shanhua's information, and sent Ji Chenfeng the time and place for dinner.

Without exception, Ji Chenfeng's replies were very short, polite and unfamiliar.

"All my contacts with him are on it." Ji Chenfeng said, "I didn't think about contacting him without telling you before, and I will tell you what I do in the future."

All the fires were extinguished by his simple words, and my mood miraculously returned to calm in an instant.

It is more effective than taking any medicine.

"That's about the same..." Muttering, I clicked on the string of phone numbers, scrolled to the bottom, and pulled it into the blacklist.After exiting, swipe to the left, and all the chat records between the two of them were deleted neatly.

After cleaning up, I pushed the phone back to Ji Chenfeng, and he put it away without looking at it.

"If he didn't go abroad back then, you should still be together now, right?" In the past, when I met the current ex-girlfriend of Aiwen, I would have a headache.

I didn't feel like eating the steamed stuffed bun in my hand, I carefully observed Ji Chenfeng's expression.

"No." He returned his attention to the computer, and while speaking, his hands continued to type on the keyboard.

I was surprised by his decisive answer: "Why?"

"As I told you, in Flying City, it is very difficult to keep someone. He is me..." Ji Chenfeng thought for a moment, and said, "The best friends since childhood, apart from not being related by blood, we Just like brothers. I thought we would be like this forever. But when I was 17, he told me he liked me."

I thought he was coaxing me to say no, but I didn't expect that he really gave a good reason.

"In order to 'keep' him, I accepted his confession. His university is not in Hongshi, we have been away from each other for two years, and we can only meet each other during winter and summer vacations. Every time he comes back, I can feel that he is getting farther and farther away from me He began to loathe his own birth, loathe the poverty of Flying City, and longed for the outside world." The sound of typing slowly stopped, and Ji Chenfeng said, "So, it has nothing to do with whether he goes abroad when we break up. I want to stay, He wants to leave, we will part ways one day. And... he must be very tired too, he has to wear a mask to get along with me all the time."

I was even more surprised: "You know?"

Zhou Jiyu once said that he ran away because he was afraid of being discovered by Ji Chenfeng. At that time, I laughed at him as a coward, but Ji Chenfeng knew from the beginning to the end that he was a "masked man"?

Thinking back, did Ji Chenfeng also say last night that my disguise was poor?

I reacted belatedly, and murmured: "You know everything, you just don't want to expose us..."

It's ridiculous that Zhou Jiyu still swears that he has a hero complex. It's true that he has read psychology into the dog's stomach for so many years.What's even more ridiculous is that I was so reduced to become "we" with him, it was so disgusting.

"Know everything without knowing everything." Ji Chenfeng said with a smile, "You really know everything, how can you be so fooled by you?"

Tsk, did you agree not to turn over old accounts?

As soon as the topic turned to a rather dangerous direction, I dropped the bun in my hand and walked over to him, wrapped my arms around his shoulders from the side, and swayed back and forth gently in my arms.

"I'm different from that idiot Zhou Jiyu. You can be where you want and do whatever you want. If you don't want to leave Fly City, I will always be with you. You don't have to worry that I will yearn for the outside world. I've seen the whole Huahua World, it's boring, I'm still the most comfortable by your side."

"Don't you feel wronged? Even though you lived in Fly City before, the environment was worrying, but it looked like a home after all, but now you can only live in the attic, without even a decent piece of furniture... It makes you suffer." He pulled me up hand, kissed my palm.

That day Xu Xi knew that I lived in Flying City, and told him where I had suffered this kind of suffering. He didn't say anything at the time, but he kept the words in his heart after all.

The moist breath spewed out on the palm, itching and numb, I couldn't help curling my fingers, and said: "I don't feel wronged, and I don't feel bitter. Wherever you are, my home will be there."

Ji Chenfeng's breath was stagnant, and he raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes were full of emotions, like a lake that was blown by the fuming summer wind, with a little bit of eager broken sun.

Perhaps it is the best time to take out the ring now.

"you……"

Let go of the arm, I just wanted him to wait and go to the attic to get the ring, when suddenly there was the sound of "thump, thump, thump" footsteps downstairs.

Damn.

A deep displeasure of being disturbed rose in my heart.I don't mind living in a loft, and I don't care that I don't even have a decent piece of furniture, but can I have a private space where I won't be disturbed?

"Morning Breeze, someone downstairs has brought a pennant." Jian Xing stood in the middle of the stairs and waved to us, "Come down quickly!"

Just when Jian Xing called me to let me also witness Ji Chenfeng's glorious moment, he was still thinking about whether to take a photo as a souvenir.As a result, when we reached the first floor, we saw a middle-aged man standing in the center with a solemn expression, holding a roll of things in his hand like an imperial decree.

"This is the person you are looking for." Jian Xing pointed at me.

Before I had time to react, the middle-aged man took a big step forward and lowered the pennant with a "swish".

"Reckless, save my mother." Jian Xing read from the side.

The middle-aged man excitedly held my hand tightly with the pennant, and said in Mandarin with an accent: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for carrying my mother from home that day. I hope you don't mind me coming here now." Thank you, firstly because my mother has been receiving treatment in another hospital, and her condition stabilized yesterday; secondly, I just found out from Lao Li that you are here."

He handed the pennant into my hand, and said several thanks in a row.

I took the pennant with both hands in a daze, looked down at the eight huge gold characters, and was shocked inside.

"Take a picture?" Ji Chenfeng took out his phone and walked across to us, suggesting.

He must have known it a long time ago, otherwise how could he not be surprised at all...

The middle-aged man grabbed the other end of the pennant, lifted it up to his chest, and readily agreed: "Come, come, take two more pictures."

Staring at Ji Chenfeng's camera stiffly, he didn't know how to react.It’s not that I didn’t receive a certificate when I was a student. At that time, there were more people watching than now. I was still calm and calm under the envious or jealous eyes of the audience, which was completely different from the feeling of being at a loss and even a little bit ashamed at this moment.

"Sang Nian, smile." Ji Chenfeng put down the phone slightly and reminded me.

I have completely given up thinking, and only give one command and one action. Hearing this, I immediately raised the corners of my lips, revealing a brilliant toothy smirk.

"Three, two, one... that's it." Ji Chenfeng looked at his phone with satisfaction, and came to show us his shooting results.

The middle-aged man took a look and gave Ji Chenfeng a thumbs up.

"specialized!"

I took one look and couldn't help but take a second look.

So silly.

While evaluating secretly in his heart, he gave Ji Chenfeng the same thumbs up.

"Perfect," I said.
