The moment he took off the mask, Yao Simei's expression was obviously surprised. Her eyes lingered on Chi Ji and Lu Changming for a moment, but she couldn't react for a long time.
"You... did you come here specially?"
"Yes, Auntie." Lu Changming smiled politely and modestly, neither humble nor overbearing, "I happened to be there when Uncle called Chi Ji. I heard that you were sick. It just so happened that I was free recently, so I came to see it with him." Look at you."
After finishing speaking, Lu Changming stepped forward and put the fruit basket in his hand on the locker, then turned around and stood behind Chi Ji.
"I wish you a speedy recovery. My father knows some experts in anti-cancer. If you need it, you can tell me at any time, and I will try to see if I can help."
Back then, Chi Zhenhong didn't approve of Chi Ji and Lu Changming making friends.
Although Yao Simei didn't interfere with her son's social life, every time Chi Zhenhong scolded him because Chi Ji and Lu Changming got close, he didn't say much.
The two have a clear division of labor, one is a kind mother and the other is a strict father.
Yao Simei never interfered with her husband's education of her son, and would only come out to protect and persuade her when she felt distressed.
Her acceptance may be limited to making friends with Chi Ji and Lu Changming.
When the family was in a mess because of the photo taken by Chi Chenglin, Yao Simei probably couldn't accept it, but she couldn't bear to say such ugly words like Chi Zhenhong to hurt the child again.
Now, Lu Changming, who was looked down upon by Chi Zhenhong back then, has become popular all over the country.
Chi Ji sees news about Lu Changming from time to time in the metropolis of the United States, not to mention the Chi family who has been doing business in China.
In recent years, Lu Changming's name has suddenly become a household name, and Yao Simi knows it well.It's just that every time I see it, at most, there will be some sighs in my heart.
She also understood that the reason why Chi Ji went abroad was because of Chi Chenglin's frequent suppression and embarrassment.
When an avalanche arrives, no snowflake is innocent.
Chi Chenglin is the one who ignites the fuse, and Lu Changming is the fuse itself.
After many years, she finally reunited with her son again, and Yao Simi was naturally overjoyed.
But no matter what, she never expected that Lu Changming was still inseparable from Chi Ji's side.
Lu Changming is like a dog skin plaster that can't be torn off no matter what, it was forcibly tied into Chi Ji's fate by an irresponsible immortal who happened to pass by, and he couldn't shake it off.
No matter how complicated her heart is, Yao Simei is an experienced and educated adult after all.
At least it is understandable to reach out and not hit the smiling face.
She smiled at Lu Changming, and said gently: "I remember you were classmates in middle school before, Xiao Lu is very powerful now, and I often see you on TV."
Lu Changming put his hands in his pockets and curled the corners of his mouth carelessly.
"It's too good, just sing and sing to entertain the audience, it's not very good."
After talking about the simple greetings, Yao Simei shifted her gaze to Chi Ji. She obviously wanted to say something, but stopped talking.
Seeing this, Chi Ji turned his head and glanced at Lu Changming behind him, feeling a little embarrassed.
Lu Changming, who has worked so hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, is very good at observing words and expressions. He scratched his head quickly and pointed his finger at the door of the ward: "Well, you two haven't seen each other for so long. You must have something to say. I just wanted to look around. , Withdrew first. Chi Ji, call me when you're done."
After finishing speaking, Lu Changming, whose eyes were full of smiles, made a phone call gesture to Chi Ji's ear.
Chi Ji raised the corner of his mouth and smiled back at him: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, Lu Changming turned his head and left quickly. After Yao Simei winked, Sister Chen followed closely behind.
Unrelated people left the scene on their own, leaving only the mother and child in the ward.
"Xiaochi, have you been with Lu Changming all these years?" Yao Simei asked straight to the point.
"No." Chi Ji denied it flatly, "I only met after I returned to China."
Yao Simei was puzzled, and asked impatiently, "Is it really the relationship between you and him that Cheng Lin said?"
Scenes of unbearable past events all followed these words in Chi Ji's mind, the surrounding oxygen seemed to become thinner again, and even the smell of disinfectant water began to become pungent.
The breathing rate gradually became uncontrollable. Chi Ji forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and replied with a normal expression: "I don't know what kind of relationship he is talking about."
Yao Simei became anxious: "That's the kind..."
"Mom!" The resentment that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly broke out, and Chi Ji interrupted Yao Simei's words with a raised voice as if he had encountered some scourge, the corners of his eyes were stained with a little red, "What's the relationship between me and Lu Changming, what's the matter with Guan Chi Chenglin? "
Ever since he transferred schools in elementary school, Chi Ji seemed to be a different person.
Even if he suffered a great grievance and was embarrassed by Chi Chenglin in every possible way.
Even if the incident happened one day, Chi Zhenhong taught him to kneel in the study under the rage, he still maintained the maturity and tolerance that his age shouldn't have, never resisted from the beginning to the end without saying a word, even crying silently cry loudly.
This was the first time in Chi Ji's life that he showed such strong resistance in front of Yao Simi because of Chi Chenglin.
Only then did Yao Simei realize that her way of speaking was wrong, and she accidentally exposed Chi Ji's old scars.
Obviously she has known for a long time that this child is the most innocent one, and she has always felt guilty for the past six years, and she can't let go of it.
Even though she has been well maintained among her peers, Yao Simi has aged at a speed visible to the naked eye in the past six years. With tears in her eyes, she explained to her with tears in her eyes, "Mom has no other meaning...just caring about you... ..."
Chi Ji's eyes were red, trying not to let the tears fall, his eyes were deeply puzzled.
"Mom, since I was a child, I have been trying my best to be a son who satisfies you according to my father's requirements. I have never understood why my father is always dissatisfied with me no matter what I do, as if I have never reached his goal. Later I found out, it was because I was not the best one even though I worked very hard, I liked to eat at roadside stalls when I had the best food at home, and I was always with Lu Changming when there were so many second-generation officials in school. Playing together, so my father thinks that I am not from the blood of the Chi family, I am not outstanding, my natural aptitude is mediocre and the upper limit is low, in simple terms, I am stupid, right?"
Chi Ji understood these words a long time ago, but he didn't say them out.
After the voice fell behind, although Yao Simi kept shaking her head, Chi Ji still got confirmation from her eyes.
After many years of obsession was confirmed, Chi Ji was not as heartbroken as when he boarded a plane in a foreign country alone, but smiled sadly with wet eyes: "That's why after Chi Chenglin came home, I was killed Abandoned without hesitation."
Chi Ji's wry smile made Yao Simei feel uncomfortable in her heart, she kept shaking her head subconsciously, but her words seemed so futile: "No, Mom never thought of abandoning you."
"Do you have to throw me on the side of the road to be considered abandoned?"
The corners of Chi Ji's mouth curved into a smile, but the tears accumulated in his eyes slowly ran across his face, like the last wave of undercurrent that dragged the dead leaves on the water surface to the bottom of the river.
"You and Dad have always known that Chi Chenglin has been bullying me at school, and tried every means to embarrass me, but you have always regarded it as a child's mischief and never cared about it, have you?"
Yao Simei's eyes were full of guilt: "At that time, I felt that children were ignorant. You are an older brother, so it's okay to let my younger brother..."
"Yes, yes." Chi Ji nodded with a wry smile, "I did sympathize with his childhood experience at the beginning, treating him as an ignorant younger brother and letting him go, never caring about it. But mom, he treats me like an older brother Did he? All he did was with the express intention of getting me out of this family."
Hearing this, Yao Simei closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, obviously feeling extremely helpless.
Thinking that his mother was still sick, Chi Ji took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, lowered his eyes and said weakly: "I really don't want to make things difficult for you, so why did you grab me when you went as far as he wanted? Don't let it go..."
Yao Simei wiped away her tears, sighed for a long time before calming down, and said with a downcast expression.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that way just now. Mom apologizes to you. It may be that the call your father made to you some time ago made you uncomfortable. Don't worry about it. I won't let him do that again next time."
Hearing this, Chi Ji frowned: "A while ago? When?"
"Huh? It's just...let me think about it..." Yao Simei paused for a while, and then continued, "It was the day when Yuan's daughter got married. When Cheng Lin came back, he said that he met you, and said that he wanted to go. The development of S City. Your father has always planned to expand our scale in S City, so he planned to arrange for Cheng Lin to go to our S City branch. He insisted on calling you that day to ask you to take care of Cheng Lin. I disagree, but He finally fought."
After thinking about it, Chi Ji didn't remember this phone call.
He roughly calculated that he should have fallen asleep at that time theoretically.
According to Yao Simei's statement, the call must have been connected.
At that time, there was only one person in the house besides him, and it was self-evident who picked him up.
However, at this moment, Chi Ji didn't want to worry about this anymore. When he heard the news that Chi Chenglin was going to S City, he only felt that a time bomb had been planted around him, and he was extremely irritable in an instant.
"I don't know how Dad wants me to take care of him." Chi Ji said indifferently with half-dried tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, "But I just want to say that I don't owe him anything. Everyone is already an adult. ability."
Chi Ji's attitude is obvious, clearly expressing that he will no longer tolerate Chi Chenglin like he did when he was a teenager.
Facing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sons, who was about to tear each other apart, Yao Simei only felt a headache.
She pondered over it for a long time, but finally she couldn't help sighing and said: "Xiaochi, I know you have been wronged a lot... But I still hope you don't hate your brother, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Hearing this, Chi Ji smiled inexplicably, and stared at his mother with bleak eyes.
"Am I not even qualified to complain?"
After speaking, before Yao Simei had time to say anything, a familiar voice came from the door, clear and clear with a smile.
"Okay brother, of course you can."
Chi Ji subconsciously shook his whole body, opened his eyes wide and turned around, watching Chi Chenglin being pushed in, the coolness in his eyes was clearly visible.
"But can I ask you, why you are clean, but I fall in the dust and can't get up?"
Speaking of this, Chi Chenglin deliberately paused, his lower lip trembled slightly, as if he didn't even want to discuss this topic.
Like a hedgehog with fried fur, he didn't want to expose his vulnerable side in front of Chi Ji. He sneered and said, "You have one company, and I have one company. Isn't that fair? The two of us can prove to our mother who is The best son. But isn't it a little bullying for you to bring Lu Changming into this game? Let him out, we will compete fairly."
"Cheng Lin, stop messing around!" Yao Simi sternly stopped her, "Your brother didn't mean anything like that."
"Then what did he mean? He said he didn't owe me anything? Well said!"
Chi Chenglin had a pure and innocent smile on his face, but the words he said were cold, his gaze turned to lock on Chi Ji, the ruthlessness inspired by the piercing resentment was like a snake that had been entrenched for a long time spit out a poisonous snake letter .
"When you were lying on the soft bed and dreaming sweet dreams, I was bitten by lice in the thatched house. When you were eating the sea cucumber and abalone made by the chef at home, I was eating steamed buns that were harder than stones and could almost choke people to death. When you went to school in an eight-figure luxury car with your schoolbag on your back, my leg was broken by a trafficker, and I begged along the street every day... Hahaha, now you tell me you don’t owe me anything?"
As he said that, Chi Chenglin bent down and covered his stomach and trembled. After laughing for a long time, he raised his head with red eyes and stared at Chi Ji viciously.
"After enjoying what originally belonged to me, why can you say that you don't owe me anything? Then you give me back my life, and take turns for all the sins I have suffered. You go through it and I go away Let's see if we can forgive gracefully! Let me think about it, starting with breaking a leg, whether you need my help or yourself..."
"Cheng Lin!" Yao Simi interrupted him excitedly, "Stop talking, it's not your brother's fault."
"Is that my fault!" Chi Chenglin was so angry that the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, he wanted to stand up but couldn't do anything, he yelled angrily while sitting in the wheelchair, "Is it my fault?!"
Yao Simei took a quick breath, and it seemed that her heart was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable.
Sister Chen, who was standing dumbfounded, ran over in a panic, quickly checked Yao Simei's blood pressure and heartbeat, then carefully helped him back to the bed, and whispered.
"The two young masters stop arguing, Madam, she..."
"Shut up, what young master!" Chi Chenglin shouted angrily, "There is only one young master in the Chi family, and it's me, Chi Chenglin!"
Sister Chen lowered her head in fear and didn't say a word at all.
Facing Chi Chenglin's outburst, Yao Simei was speechless.
It has been like this ever since Chi Chenglin came back to this home.
As long as there is a quarrel, no one is right and wrong. No matter what she does, she will be biased and hurt another child.
If Chi Chenglin's revenge on Chi Ji is stopped, it will be exchanged for an almost crazy, even death-threatening resistance.
In contrast, as a mother, he has no other choice but to make Chi Ji, who is relatively stable in mood, feel wronged.
At least Chi Ji won't seek life or death.
Since Chi Chenglin's words fell behind, Chi Ji has lost all fighting spirit.
Yes, that's right.
Chi Chenglin is a moral kidnapping, revenge against the wrong person, hating the wrong person.
He has always understood the truth, but he still has no choice but to swallow his anger, just like six years ago.
Because Chi Chenglin didn't realize it was wrong at all.
He grew up in the hands of human traffickers, and when he returned home, he was a teenager and didn't even know how to read.
The distorted three views are subtly instilled in this environment.
So there is no distinction between right and wrong, going one's own way, and making no sense.
The hanging bottle above his head shook violently because of Yao Simei's agitated actions just now, and Chi Ji's mind started to ring endlessly again. He raised his eyes to look at the clear and transparent liquid in the plastic bottle, and suddenly felt very tired.
It seems that all the strength has been drained, and I have never been so tired before.
He stood up on the side of the bed and moved his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally skipped the title of mother, which might make Chi Chenglin even more crazy, with a dry and bitter voice.
"I have something else to do. I'll see you another day and take care of yourself."
After speaking, Chi Ji turned his head without hesitation.
Yao Simei got up from the bed and stretched out her hand to pull him, but she happened to miss it, and the pull was in vain.
Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't ask to stay after all.
After leaving the ward, Chi Ji numbly raised his head, looked around in the long corridor, but did not find either Lu Changming or Mao Xiao.
At that moment, the last light in his eyes went out.
In a trance, Chi Ji felt that he had walked for a long, long time in an unconscious state.
He didn't know where he was going, and no one paid him much attention or attention.
In the hospital, there are many, many people who look like walking dead.
After walking aimlessly like this for an indeterminate amount of time, Chi Ji felt the air around him cool down, and he didn't know which side door of the inpatient department he came out of.
The rain outside was still falling, a little heavier than before, the ground was getting wet gradually, and the fragrance of soil and green grass spread in the air.
Chi Ji greedily took a long breath of fresh air, and then heard heart-piercing cries not far away.
Looking up, there are many people around.
Chi Ji walked over instinctively, and saw a gray-haired middle-aged woman in the center of the crowd. She was sitting slumped on the ground, crying and slapping her thighs, sometimes cursing and crying about her suffering.
There are too many miserable people in this world.
Chi Ji looked depressed, and was about to turn his head to leave, but he heard the onlookers discussing that this woman came from the countryside to treat her daughter, because rural people don't have the concept of saving money, and the money for hospitalization and medicine It was accidentally stolen.
There were a lot of onlookers nearby, some with pitying expressions, some purely watching the excitement, and even the police who came to understand the situation after receiving the police.
Almost everyone is holding an umbrella.
Only Chi Ji, the police, and the middle-aged woman were exposed to the rain.
Chi Ji subconsciously touched his pocket and opened the wallet, only to find that there was only a card in it, and he didn't bring a penny of cash with him.
The hair on the forehead gathered raindrops and fell on the eyelashes. Chi Ji's eyes were sore for no reason. He blinked quickly, feeling something warm slipping down his face.
He looked up and looked around, and when he remembered, he saw a bank in front of the hospital.
The shower was like this without warning, and it fell harder and harder. The crowd of onlookers soon dispersed, and only the middle-aged woman sat on the ground and broke down crying.
Because it is easy to obtain, there are always a lot of thieves in the hospital, and the police are helpless when they see too many such things.
Very few can be caught through monitoring, and this kind of thief is basically a habitual criminal who commits crimes continuously. After stealing money, he immediately gambles. When the police come to the door, he has nothing, and the stolen money is basically impossible to get back. .
After a while, Chi Ji walked back slowly, and stuffed 10 yuan into the canvas bag in the middle-aged woman's hand under the surprised eyes of the two policemen.
There is a high probability that this money is more than what was lost. The middle-aged woman didn't realize it for a while, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop.
Chi Ji immediately turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the police just as he lifted his footsteps.
He didn't know what he explained, and he was let go by the police after leaving his cell phone number.
Not far away, Chi Ji saw a bench in front of him, and sat on it without thinking too much.
During the time after sitting down, Chi Ji felt that he had thought about a lot of things, but he didn't seem to think about anything. Even the concept of time had been blurred. The mobile phone in his pocket seemed to be vibrating vaguely, but Chi Ji didn't want to care about it.
He closed his eyes and raised his head, letting the cold rain hit his face, trying to wake himself up from this nightmare, but ended in failure.
After an unknown amount of time, Chi Ji felt someone grab his arm.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was dragged up, raised his feet and stumbled to the eaves not far away.
"Why are you leaving it there in the rain. I've been looking for you for a long time. I don't answer the phone, I don't reply to the WeChat, and I just called you and didn't answer me."
Lu Changming shook off the rain on his hair, looked at Chi Ji's face which was soaked all over with a puzzled expression, reached out and patted his face lightly: "What's going on, what are you thinking about?"
I don't know if it's because Lu Changming picked up some obvious local accents after arriving in G City.
Chi Ji's face and eyelashes were covered with rain, he raised his wet eyes to look at Lu Changming, and asked in an obscure voice.
"Where have you been, why aren't you here?"
Maybe it was because the rain was too loud, Lu Changming didn't hear the question in Chi Ji's tone.
He reached into his coat and took out a steaming disposable plastic bag from his arms. With a bright smile, he waved it in front of Chi Ji as if asking for credit.
"I bought you a roasted sweet potato! Hey, you don't know. I just thought there was a roasted sweet potato nearby. I searched for a long time in front of the hospital in the rain. I asked a lot of local people, and I ran into a little girl on the road. almost..."
Before he finished speaking, the endless chatter stopped abruptly.
Without warning, Chi Ji took half a step forward and hugged Lu Changming tightly, then buried his face in his chest and wept uncontrollably.
"You... did you come here specially?"
"Yes, Auntie." Lu Changming smiled politely and modestly, neither humble nor overbearing, "I happened to be there when Uncle called Chi Ji. I heard that you were sick. It just so happened that I was free recently, so I came to see it with him." Look at you."
After finishing speaking, Lu Changming stepped forward and put the fruit basket in his hand on the locker, then turned around and stood behind Chi Ji.
"I wish you a speedy recovery. My father knows some experts in anti-cancer. If you need it, you can tell me at any time, and I will try to see if I can help."
Back then, Chi Zhenhong didn't approve of Chi Ji and Lu Changming making friends.

"But can I ask you, why you are clean, but I fall in the dust and can't get up?"
Speaking of this, Chi Chenglin deliberately paused, his lower lip trembled slightly, as if he didn't even want to discuss this topic.
Like a hedgehog with fried fur, he didn't want to expose his vulnerable side in front of Chi Ji. He sneered and said, "You have one company, and I have one company. Isn't that fair? The two of us can prove to our mother who is The best son. But isn't it a little bullying for you to bring Lu Changming into this game? Let him out, we will compete fairly."
"Cheng Lin, stop messing around!" Yao Simi sternly stopped her, "Your brother didn't mean anything like that."
"Then what did he mean? He said he didn't owe me anything? Well said!"
Chi Chenglin had a pure and innocent smile on his face, but the words he said were cold, his gaze turned to lock on Chi Ji, the ruthlessness inspired by the piercing resentment was like a snake that had been entrenched for a long time spit out a poisonous snake letter .
"When you were lying on the soft bed and dreaming sweet dreams, I was bitten by lice in the thatched house. When you were eating the sea cucumber and abalone made by the chef at home, I was eating steamed buns that were harder than stones and could almost choke people to death. When you went to school in an eight-figure luxury car with your schoolbag on your back, my leg was broken by a trafficker, and I begged along the street every day... Hahaha, now you tell me you don’t owe me anything?"
As he said that, Chi Chenglin bent down and covered his stomach and trembled. After laughing for a long time, he raised his head with red eyes and stared at Chi Ji viciously.
"After enjoying what originally belonged to me, why can you say that you don't owe me anything? Then you give me back my life, and take turns for all the sins I have suffered. You go through it and I go away Let's see if we can forgive gracefully! Let me think about it, starting with breaking a leg, whether you need my help or yourself..."
"Cheng Lin!" Yao Simi interrupted him excitedly, "Stop talking, it's not your brother's fault."
"Is that my fault!" Chi Chenglin was so angry that the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, he wanted to stand up but couldn't do anything, he yelled angrily while sitting in the wheelchair, "Is it my fault?!"
Yao Simei took a quick breath, and it seemed that her heart was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable.
Sister Chen, who was standing dumbfounded, ran over in a panic, quickly checked Yao Simei's blood pressure and heartbeat, then carefully helped him back to the bed, and whispered.
"The two young masters stop arguing, Madam, she..."
"Shut up, what young master!" Chi Chenglin shouted angrily, "There is only one young master in the Chi family, and it's me, Chi Chenglin!"
Sister Chen lowered her head in fear and didn't say a word at all.
Facing Chi Chenglin's outburst, Yao Simei was speechless.
It has been like this ever since Chi Chenglin came back to this home.
As long as there is a quarrel, no one is right and wrong. No matter what she does, she will be biased and hurt another child.
If Chi Chenglin's revenge on Chi Ji is stopped, it will be exchanged for an almost crazy, even death-threatening resistance.
In contrast, as a mother, he has no other choice but to make Chi Ji, who is relatively stable in mood, feel wronged.
At least Chi Ji won't seek life or death.
Since Chi Chenglin's words fell behind, Chi Ji has lost all fighting spirit.
Yes, that's right.
Chi Chenglin is a moral kidnapping, revenge against the wrong person, hating the wrong person.
He has always understood the truth, but he still has no choice but to swallow his anger, just like six years ago.
Because Chi Chenglin didn't realize it was wrong at all.
He grew up in the hands of human traffickers, and when he returned home, he was a teenager and didn't even know how to read.
The distorted three views are subtly instilled in this environment.
So there is no distinction between right and wrong, going one's own way, and making no sense.
The hanging bottle above his head shook violently because of Yao Simei's agitated actions just now, and Chi Ji's mind started to ring endlessly again. He raised his eyes to look at the clear and transparent liquid in the plastic bottle, and suddenly felt very tired.
It seems that all the strength has been drained, and I have never been so tired before.
He stood up on the side of the bed and moved his lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally skipped the title of mother, which might make Chi Chenglin even more crazy, with a dry and bitter voice.
"I have something else to do. I'll see you another day and take care of yourself."
After speaking, Chi Ji turned his head without hesitation.
Yao Simei got up from the bed and stretched out her hand to pull him, but she happened to miss it, and the pull was in vain.
Her lips moved slightly, but she didn't ask to stay after all.
After leaving the ward, Chi Ji numbly raised his head, looked around in the long corridor, but did not find either Lu Changming or Mao Xiao.
At that moment, the last light in his eyes went out.
In a trance, Chi Ji felt that he had walked for a long, long time in an unconscious state.
He didn't know where he was going, and no one paid him much attention or attention.
In the hospital, there are many, many people who look like walking dead.
After walking aimlessly like this for an indeterminate amount of time, Chi Ji felt the air around him cool down, and he didn't know which side door of the inpatient department he came out of.
The rain outside was still falling, a little heavier than before, the ground was getting wet gradually, and the fragrance of soil and green grass spread in the air.
Chi Ji greedily took a long breath of fresh air, and then heard heart-piercing cries not far away.
Looking up, there are many people around.
Chi Ji walked over instinctively, and saw a gray-haired middle-aged woman in the center of the crowd. She was sitting slumped on the ground, crying and slapping her thighs, sometimes cursing and crying about her suffering.
There are too many miserable people in this world.
Chi Ji looked depressed, and was about to turn his head to leave, but he heard the onlookers discussing that this woman came from the countryside to treat her daughter, because rural people don't have the concept of saving money, and the money for hospitalization and medicine It was accidentally stolen.
There were a lot of onlookers nearby, some with pitying expressions, some purely watching the excitement, and even the police who came to understand the situation after receiving the police.
Almost everyone is holding an umbrella.
Only Chi Ji, the police, and the middle-aged woman were exposed to the rain.
Chi Ji subconsciously touched his pocket and opened the wallet, only to find that there was only a card in it, and he didn't bring a penny of cash with him.
The hair on the forehead gathered raindrops and fell on the eyelashes. Chi Ji's eyes were sore for no reason. He blinked quickly, feeling something warm slipping down his face.
He looked up and looked around, and when he remembered, he saw a bank in front of the hospital.
The shower was like this without warning, and it fell harder and harder. The crowd of onlookers soon dispersed, and only the middle-aged woman sat on the ground and broke down crying.
Because it is easy to obtain, there are always a lot of thieves in the hospital, and the police are helpless when they see too many such things.
Very few can be caught through monitoring, and this kind of thief is basically a habitual criminal who commits crimes continuously. After stealing money, he immediately gambles. When the police come to the door, he has nothing, and the stolen money is basically impossible to get back. .
After a while, Chi Ji walked back slowly, and stuffed 10 yuan into the canvas bag in the middle-aged woman's hand under the surprised eyes of the two policemen.
There is a high probability that this money is more than what was lost. The middle-aged woman didn't realize it for a while, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop.
Chi Ji immediately turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the police just as he lifted his footsteps.
He didn't know what he explained, and he was let go by the police after leaving his cell phone number.
Not far away, Chi Ji saw a bench in front of him, and sat on it without thinking too much.
During the time after sitting down, Chi Ji felt that he had thought about a lot of things, but he didn't seem to think about anything. Even the concept of time had been blurred. The mobile phone in his pocket seemed to be vibrating vaguely, but Chi Ji didn't want to care about it.
He closed his eyes and raised his head, letting the cold rain hit his face, trying to wake himself up from this nightmare, but ended in failure.
After an unknown amount of time, Chi Ji felt someone grab his arm.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was dragged up, raised his feet and stumbled to the eaves not far away.
"Why are you leaving it there in the rain. I've been looking for you for a long time. I don't answer the phone, I don't reply to the WeChat, and I just called you and didn't answer me."
Lu Changming shook off the rain on his hair, looked at Chi Ji's face which was soaked all over with a puzzled expression, reached out and patted his face lightly: "What's going on, what are you thinking about?"
I don't know if it's because Lu Changming picked up some obvious local accents after arriving in G City.
Chi Ji's face and eyelashes were covered with rain, he raised his wet eyes to look at Lu Changming, and asked in an obscure voice.
"Where have you been, why aren't you here?"
Maybe it was because the rain was too loud, Lu Changming didn't hear the question in Chi Ji's tone.
He reached into his coat and took out a steaming disposable plastic bag from his arms. With a bright smile, he waved it in front of Chi Ji as if asking for credit.
"I bought you a roasted sweet potato! Hey, you don't know. I just thought there was a roasted sweet potato nearby. I searched for a long time in front of the hospital in the rain. I asked a lot of local people, and I ran into a little girl on the road. almost..."
Before he finished speaking, the endless chatter stopped abruptly.
Without warning, Chi Ji took half a step forward and hugged Lu Changming tightly, then buried his face in his chest and wept uncontrollably.
