The selfish gene

"Excuse me, what did you just say?" Ji Chenfeng frowned slightly, as if he didn't hear what I said clearly.

Pretend.

Leaning back in the chair, I crossed my hands on my knees, and repeated in coordination: "Doctor Ji, do you like my voice?" Afraid that it wasn't clear enough, I made some additions, "The kind that likes X tide .”

Thinking back carefully, every time he had a huge, unreasonable reaction, it was after hearing my voice.

A man is born to be unable to control his lower body due to various inexplicable reasons.It's not impossible to become obsessed with a particular sound.Obsessed with the sound but hated the rest, it is not surprising that it is commonplace.

This can also explain why Ji Chenfeng has a physical reaction to me, and at the same time has a bad face towards me.

"I think you've misunderstood..."

Ji Chenfeng said "misunderstanding", but after uttering six words, he stopped talking.He didn't think about how to get rid of his relationship, but just wanted to deny it blindly, probably like him.

Regarding his denial of death, I already had a premonition, so I didn't mean to argue with him about right or wrong.I happily followed his words without any obstacles.

"Well, it's true that I misunderstood." I said, "Maybe I took it for granted. Doctor Ji doesn't need to take it to heart. Everyone will have a physical problem. What happened that day was just an accident, so let us all forget it." Bar."

Ji Chenfeng seemed to want to explain something, but after thinking for a while, he gave up.Thinking about it, the steps have already been passed to his feet, and he has no better way than to walk down.

Seeing that Ji Chenfeng was not in the mood to order, I simply took the menu in front of him and called the waiter.

"Do you have any taboos?" I asked.

Ji Chenfeng shook his head.

When he doesn't make a sound, it will give people an extraordinarily quiet, even pitiful impression.

Why would you pretend to be a seal cub when you're a polar bear? It's really uncomfortable.

After ordering a few signature dishes, the waiter left with the menu after confirming the dishes.

"Actually, I came here today mainly for another matter..." I naturally changed the subject again, "Recently, my house is preparing for renovation, and I'm afraid that there will be a lot of dust and noise on site, which will affect Xiaocao's health. I plan to let him stay in the hospital for another half a month."

Decoration is of course not a matter, compared to going to that dirty food stall for dinner every day, it is easier and more convenient to put the tortoise in the pet hospital for Ji Chenfeng to take care of.Before finding a better way, the tortoise was the only excuse to get close to him, so he had to make good use of it.

"Half a month..." Ji Chenfeng thought for a while, and made a request that I couldn't understand, "Of course there is no problem in continuing to be hospitalized, but I hope that Mr. Sang can visit it often after work."

I observed his face carefully, and found that he was serious, a little absurd: "Will it miss me?"

"Will do."

Because he was too serious, there was no hint of a joke in his expression, on the contrary, it made people want to laugh even more.

I shook my shoulders and laughed, and he showed that expression of being possessed by a seal cub again, which made me laugh even harder.

"Sorry, you are so interesting." I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and tried to press down the corners of my lips.

Ji Chenfeng lowered his eyes, didn't get angry, and didn't continue to say something that made people laugh, but took a sip of the lemonade in front of him.

After all, it was just a substandard street corner tea restaurant. The taste was not to my liking. After a few mouthfuls, I put down my chopsticks.Ji Chenfeng has a good appetite, so he swept away most of the dishes on the table by himself.

In order not to splash the juice on the white coat, he took it off the back of the chair, revealing the light blue short-sleeved overalls underneath.

Such a close distance allowed me to observe the muscle lines on his arms more clearly.At this level, it should be possible to push any woman... no, any man against the wall, right?

It can be seen from his height and arm muscles that his thigh muscles should not be bad.Unlike those muscles that rely on a refined diet and eating muscle-building powder, they will not fade easily and feel better.

What a pity, it grew on Ji Chenfeng's body.

Seeing that Ji Chenfeng was almost done eating, I called the waiter to pay the bill.

"You eat very little, is it not to your appetite?" Ji Chenfeng glanced at my very clean bone plate.

You can't say that the standard of this store is like hard-boiled eggs mixed with eggshells crushed with your feet?He just ate a lot of this garbage.

"No, the taste here is very good, it's my problem. I ate too much in the morning, and I'm still a little full, so I can't eat anything else."

After giving a decent answer, Ji Chenfeng no longer has any doubts.

After paying the bill, I left with him, and when we got back to the entrance of the pet hospital, Ji Chenfeng stopped.

"You... go in first." He took out a shrunken cigarette case from his trouser pocket.

A cigarette after a meal, happy like a fairy.I used to have this happiness too, but now I need to avoid recalling that feeling as much as possible.

Leaving him outside the door alone, I opened the door and went into the pet hospital, and asked the nurse at the front desk to go through the formalities for Xiao Wang Ba to continue his stay.

When Ji Chenfeng came back from smoking, all the formalities had been completed.I showed him the payment records on my phone, but he didn't say anything, picked up the white plastic box with the turtle in it, and went back to the small office.

I followed behind him, entered the office and closed the door behind me.

Ji Chenfeng carefully took out the cured tortoise and put it back into the glass tank.

The office is small and windowless, and the closed environment is more likely to allow certain odors to accumulate.The smell of smoke from Ji Chenfeng's body directly entered my lungs, stimulating my brain center, making me salivate unconsciously, and my heart beat faster.

Just as I was trying my best to resist the surging craving for cigarettes, a bottle of...fruit yogurt suddenly appeared in my vision.

I followed that clean and slender hand all the way to see Ji Chenfeng's face.

"You can drink yogurt when you're hungry," he said.

Of course I know what it is, I just don't understand why he gave it to me.Even when I was a child, I didn’t have this kind of thing in my life. Since I quit drinking, the only drink I can drink is coffee, all kinds of bitter coffee.The milk in the coffee is probably the only thing that can be associated with this thing, but the texture of the two is quite different.Just because I can drink a latte doesn't mean I'm willing to try fruit yogurt...

"Thank you." I took the bottle of yogurt, and to show that I really needed it, I immediately unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.

Sweet and sour and thick, it's disgusting...

It took a while to get it all down, and I screwed on the cap, planning to throw it in the trash as soon as I was out the door.

"I can't tell that Dr. Ji likes this kind of thing."

Is it really an unweaned seal pup?

"It was given by someone else." Ji Chenfeng opened his locker, revealing a row of drinks inside.

He actually gave me something to drink that was given to him by someone else.For a while, the odor in the mouth became more and more unbearable.Putting down the yogurt, I said I was going to the bathroom and walked out of the office quickly.

After rinsing out his mouth carefully, and washing his face with cold water, he became more awake, and the addiction to cigarettes that Ji Chenfeng had aroused subsided.Pulling out a lot of paper towels, he walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hands. After walking a few steps, he heard someone shouting at the end of the stairs.

"Little Cotton escaped from prison!! Catch it!"

I happened to walk down the stairs and looked up following the sound, and saw a black whirlwind rushing down at an extremely fast speed.

In the past, I would never mind this kind of nosy business, but now it is different from the past, this is the place where Ji Chenfeng works after all, and leaving a good impression may help to bring our relationship closer.Thinking of this, I raised a leg and blocked the path that the black shadow must pass.

Unexpectedly, instead of being forced to stop, the black shadow bumped into it, and then... hung on my leg.

"Ah!" The young nurse on the stairs uttered an exclamation, and ran down hastily, "It's bad, Little Mian Mian bit someone! Come quickly!"

The black dog named Little Cotton firmly bit my calf, its sharp teeth piercing into the flesh, causing pain that could not be ignored.

I flicked my leg, trying to shake it away, but it tightened its bite even more.

The red liquid dripped down the trouser legs to the ground, and the nurse became more and more panicked.

"Don't move, don't move! I'm going to get the buckskin gloves and I'll be back soon. Please bear with me."

Curious heads appeared in various consulting rooms one after another, and doctors and nurses rushed to help.

"Don't be afraid, Little Cotton has been vaccinated, it's fine..."

"Have you got the gloves? Hurry up!"

"Don't be nervous, it should loosen slowly..."

I was too tired to lift my feet, so I simply stepped on the ground and dragged the dirt dog for two steps.It didn't want to let go at all, and hung its head on my lap, uttering a low warning growl to all those who wanted to touch it.

What the hell is going on with this beast?Is it a bastard?Check it out if it bites.As the pain intensified, so did my patience.

"Don't you guys have any anesthesia guns, stun guns or something like that?" I supported the wall and rubbed between my brows tiredly, it was already hard to suppress the smell of gunpowder in my words.

"Ah, Dr. Ji, it's Dr. Ji who is here... Hurry up, save Dr. Ji!"

Someone yelled, and the earth dog's ears moved sensitively, and it looked out of the crowd almost at the same time as me.

Ji Chenfeng should have come out of the office after hearing the commotion, because his height is so outstanding that he could easily find him even if he was blocked from the crowd.

The native dog who was still biting me, immediately let go of his teeth when he saw Ji Chenfeng, sat down on the ground, licked his mouth, and ran towards him with brisk steps.

The onlookers were all mortals, they didn't dare to obstruct them, they gave way in a panic.

Only the black dog with an exceptionally long tail came to Ji Chenfeng's feet with its butt twisted. It was fierce when it was completely gone. It lifted its front legs and pulled his pants, and let out a flattering moan. Asking for a hug, touching and kissing.

"Mr. Sang..." Ji Chenfeng frowned when he saw the blood on the ground, and walked towards me.

Unexpectedly, seeing that he was going to leave, the earth dog not only jumped up and barked loudly, but even hugged his legs with its front paws to prevent him from leaving.

Ji Chenfeng had no choice but to bend down to pick it up.

Damn beast.

I stared at the black dog lying in Ji Chenfeng's arms, sticking out its tongue, with a particularly comfortable expression. In my mind, I had tied it up with a hemp rope and thrown it down the crater a hundred times.

"It's here, it's here..." The nurse who was going to get the gloves came down the stairs in a hurry. Seeing this scene, she was a little stunned, "Ah, is it over?"

"Little Mianmian is a stray dog ​​adopted by our hospital. He has a bad temper, but he really likes Dr. Ji... Speaking of which, it seems that all the animals like Dr. Ji." The nurse put down the medicine box and said, "Doctor Ji, you alone Can people do it? Do you need me to stay and help?"

Ji Chenfeng dragged a chair and sat in front of me, took out cotton swabs, gauze, iodophor, etc. from the medicine box, and said without raising his head, "No need, go get busy."

The little nurse pursed her lips, said "Oh" in disappointment, opened the door and left the office.

"Although Little Cotton has been vaccinated, to be on the safe side, you'd better go to the hospital for a rabies vaccination," Ji Chenfeng said.

"How do I get there like this?" Although the bite was on the left calf, which does not hinder driving, walking is a big problem.If Tang Bi'an is called over, soon Sang Zhengbai will know about my being bitten by a dog.Never let him know about Ji Chenfeng's existence.

"Forget it, my luck shouldn't be that bad..."

"I'll accompany you." Ji Chenfeng interrupted me, "There is a dog injury clinic in the nearby hospital. You were bitten by a dog in our hospital. We will definitely take responsibility for it."

He put on medical gloves, lifted his chin towards me, and motioned for me to lift up his trouser legs.

One foot stepped on the edge of the chair between his spread legs.Pulling the fabric on the knee up a little bit, revealing the black, blood-sucking socks.

The socks were well fixed by the leather garter belt, and there was no slight displacement due to the violent movement just now.Undoing the duckbill clips on one side of the sock, I tried to pull the sock off to reveal the bite wound, but failed because it hurt too much.

Falling back into the chair in frustration, I could only ask Ji Chenfeng to take over: "Come on..."

Ji Chenfeng glanced at my wound, and took out a pair of scissors from the medicine box: "Is it okay?"

It's all like this, what else can I do?

I nodded and told him to hurry up.

The icy metal blade cut open the sock all the way to the ankle with the cold metal blade. Ji Chenfeng stopped, loosened my shoelaces, and gently took off the shoes for me.

It may be that the relationship between the wound was touched, and the blood that had been congealed began to flow out again.The bright red color sets off the paleness of the surrounding skin.

Slightly suffocating for breath, I looked away and fixed my eyes on the empty wall.

"It may hurt a little." As soon as the words fell, something cold and soft pressed against the wound. The intense pain made my body tense instantly, and the calf muscles trembled.

He wanted to retract his legs, but Ji Chenfeng held his ankle firmly and fixed it in place.

My neck began to sweat uncontrollably, I sat up and grabbed Ji Chenfeng's hand that was disinfecting me, panting heavily: "Easy..."

Ji Chenfeng paused and didn't say anything after hearing the words, but his movements after that were indeed lighter.

The hand that was holding him did not let go, I hissed, because of the pain, my already unstable emotions plummeted to the bottom, and my tone became bad.

"It's all said lightly..."

"It hurts...will you do it?"

"Enough, let me go!"

Ji Chenfeng threw the cotton ball on the hemostat into the yellow trash can beside him, then took the cochlear implant from his ear, and stuffed it into his pocket very smoothly.

"Save your energy," the man who had sworn an hour ago that he liked any voice said to me.

Although he said he would accompany me to get an injection, but in the end he couldn't do it.The pet hospital came to the emergency department, a big golden retriever vomiting blood, Ji Chenfeng couldn't leave, so he had to ask the male nurse in the hospital to accompany me.

The male nurse would drive, take me to get the injection, and then take me home directly.Seeing that I was not good at acting, he wanted to send me into the house, but I refused.

Leaning on a single crutch, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a kraft paper bag placed on the table.

I don't know if it was an adverse reaction of the vaccine, but I felt a headache, my body was heavy, and every bone in my body was sore and swollen.I tore open the paper bag, unpacked the powerful sleeping pills inside, threw a pill into my mouth, and swallowed dryly.

Difficult to enter the bedroom with a cane, I fell into the bed and lost consciousness after a while.

I used to think she was my mother.

She always gives me food and toys, and when Sang Zhengbai is around, she is very kind to me.

How can a four or five-year-old child tell the difference between a mother and a monster?

In my world, mothers and monsters coexist.She gives me food, she gives me hunger; she gives me warmth, she gives me pain...

In the maze-like house, only she raises me, and only she raises me.

Until people found out about the scars she left on me, and in an instant, both mom and the monster were gone.Except for the indelible sporadic memories, all that is left to me is infinite sadness.

Not mother, never was mother...

Woke up again because of the continuous ringing of the mobile phone.

I wiped my face, fumbled around the bed, and finally found the vibrating cell phone under the pillow.

Because the name was not displayed, I thought it was a harassing call, and was about to yell when I got through, when I heard Ji Chenfeng's voice from the other end of the phone.

"Is it Mr. Sang?"

It's really strange, everyone who went to elementary school should know that sound can't be static, the essence of sound is the sound wave produced by the vibration of objects.But why does Ji Chenfeng's voice sound so quiet?It's almost like...

"...a blizzard seen from a skyscraper."

Ji Chenfeng fell silent, probably frightened by my illogical words like a wandering soul, his voice became more urgent: "Mr. Sang, are you okay?"

"I don't feel very strong, my body is very hot, I should have a fever."

"Is there anyone else in the family who can take care of you?"

"No." I turned over, and instantly felt dizzy, and the whole ceiling was spinning, "Why, are you going to take care of me?"

"It's half an hour before I get off work. Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to bring it to you?"

When I heard that he really wanted to take care of me, I was stunned for a while, sat up from the bed, and confirmed, "You want to come to my house to take care of me?"

"if you need."

How could I miss such a good opportunity?

After confirming the address and the dinner he could bring me, after hanging up the phone, I lowered my head and sniffed the shirt on my body, almost vomiting from the smell of disinfectant mixed with sweat.

I dragged my swollen legs into the bathroom. After taking a shower, I didn't feel refreshed as usual, but my body seemed to be heavier.

I thought it would be better to open the windows to breathe some fresh air, but the extremely cold autumn wind from the high-rise buildings gave me a splitting headache.

I closed the window with difficulty and collapsed onto the bed, feeling like I would never wake up after falling asleep.

Is it a side effect of the vaccine or that bastard Zhou Jiyu is trying to murder me, why am I so dizzy?

[I can't do it anymore, you can come up by yourself when the time comes, the password is...]

After sending the voice to Ji Chenfeng with my last strength, I curled up under the quilt and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Memories after that are incoherent and fragmented.

I heard someone enter my bedroom, opened my eyes, and dropped a hand on my forehead at the same time.It's ice cold and very comfortable.

Sighing and closing his eyes, he was awakened by the pain in his leg.

In the hazy sight, a tall figure was sitting at the end of the bed, changing the wet gauze for me.

"Why isn't it waterproof when taking a shower?"

His voice seemed to have multiple echoes in his ears, and each word had to be repeated countless times.

Although he didn't mean to accuse, I still felt he was blaming me.This reminds me of the monster deep in my memory, "Why are you always sick", "Why don't you eat well", "Why let your father see that you are afraid"... The magnified fear made me cry, He kept begging for mercy.

"I'm sorry... I was wrong... I don't dare to do it anymore..." The unfocused vision became more and more blurred, and liquid kept slipping from the corners of the eyes.

Warm palms caressed my cheeks, wiped away the liquid, and the always calm tone was finally stained with a wave of fluctuation.

"Sang Nian? It's okay, it's me..." He comforted me over and over again, "It's me."

The tears dried up, my body stopped shaking, and I finally saw who the figure in front of me was.

"Ji Chenfeng..." I opened my arms and hugged him tightly.

I have forgotten which ex-girlfriend once said that I am like a vampire, always greedily absorbing the temperature of the people around me, sucking and sucking, the other party has no heat, and turns into a cold ghost like me, and then pregnant Resentment leaves me.

Obviously it was so warm and lively at the beginning...

"Both of us... are poor bastards, poor bastards that no one likes..."

Because they share the same disease, they can keep each other warm.

"Not pitiful..."

There was a buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

"Actually, I... am not... you..."

What the hell are you talking about?But is it because of the fever?This time in my arms, it's so hot.

In the early morning, the sunlight slipped in through the gaps in the curtains, and the high-rises should not be able to hear the birdsong, but for some reason, the noisy chirping of birds has been around the ear from the very beginning.

I finally didn't have any dreams, and I still have the desire to continue to sleep. Where did the sound come from?

I opened my eyes in displeasure, and was about to find the source of the sound, but the person beside me stretched out his hand over my body one step ahead of me, reaching for the mobile phone on the bedside table, and knocking off the annoying ringtone.

Following the white shirt in front of him all the way up, Shang Ji Chenfeng was a little tired, but still had a refreshing face.

After a series of complex mental activities such as "why is there a man in my bed", I quickly remembered what happened last night.

it's me.

It was I who held him and didn't let him go.

Damn.
