soldiers in front

In mid-July, Weining City entered a hot summer day, and the heat wave hit people outside the window, and a lot of sunlight was burned into powder and sprinkled in the air, like scattered sparks, bright and dazzling.

Xiao Jiang opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, fixed the curtains on both sides with hooks, and then opened a window to let the smell of smoke in the room escape along the window along with the air-conditioning.

Ji Zheng does not smoke and is not used to the smell of cigarettes, but he never prevents clients from smoking in his office. He just avoids going out for a period of time after seeing off clients and waits for the room to be cleaned up and the smell of cigarettes to dissipate before coming in.

At this time, there was only Xiao Jiang in the office. Xiao Jiang packed up the recliner and reception sofa, took the ashtray on the coffee table to the bathroom to clean, and soon cleaned the office as clean as new.

She looked at the wall clock on the wall, 15 minutes had passed, and the next Ms. Qin's appointment was 10 minutes later, but the smell of cigarettes in the office hadn't dissipated.Although the smell of smoke is already very weak, a meticulous person like Ji Zheng can always smell it.So she took her usual drop-shaped palm-sized aroma diffuser, and took the aroma diffuser to every corner of the office to disperse the peculiar smell hidden in the corners.

She walked to the desk with the aromatherapy machine, and Ji Zheng's cell phone next to the computer suddenly vibrated.She subconsciously looked at the phone and saw the caller ID 'Xiao Qu'.

Little scorpion?

She stopped, and couldn't help but think of what her colleague told her in the locker room a few days ago, the young girlfriend who lived with Dr. Ji——

The office door was pushed open, Ji Zheng walked in with a teacup, smelled the moist fragrance in the office, and said with a smile: "It smells so good."

Xiao Jiang left the desk and walked towards the window: "I'm still worried that you won't be used to the smell."

Ji Zheng walked to the table, picked up the phone that was still vibrating, looked at the phone and said, "No, this fragrance is very weak."

After finishing speaking, he connected the phone, walked to the window, pushed the half-open window out, looked at the dazzling glass curtain wall of an inpatient building in the opposite hospital, and deliberately lowered his soft voice: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jiang put the aromatherapy machine on the corner of the coffee table, squatted by the table and gently wiped the thick and oily green leaves of aloe vera on the table with a clean rag, and involuntarily glanced at Ji Zheng who was standing in front of the window talking on the phone.

From her point of view, she could only see Ji Zheng's silhouette. She saw Ji Zheng looking down the stairs, rarely speaking, just listening quietly, occasionally giving a low 'hmm' to show Responding, until he looked at his watch and wanted to end the call, he said: "Don't go out today, I will go shopping with you tomorrow."

The other party seemed to disagree, lost his temper with him, and started yelling.Xiao Jiang could hear a girl's high-pitched voice from a long distance away.

Ji Zheng didn't feel unhappy or impatient at all. He listened to the girl lose his temper with him with a calm expression, and slowly poured the remaining half glass of water into a pot of gardenias on the window sill, waiting for the phone to After it became quiet, she said softly, "Don't make trouble. I will go back early tonight and bring you your favorite ice cream cake."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and then dialed another call, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "Aunt Wu, has Xiao Que not taken any medicine for the past two days?"

When the other party said something, Ji Zheng frowned, and said with a little reproach: "I have told you many times, you must watch her take the medicine." After speaking, he sighed softly, unwilling to blame the other party too much She said sternly, "You lock the door of her room now, and we'll talk about it when I go back."

Xiao Jiang turned off the aromatherapy machine and felt that it was inconvenient for her to stay, so she wanted to sneak out quietly. When she got to the door, Ji Zheng called her.

"Little Ginger."

"Ai."

Xiao Jiang immediately turned around and stood by.

The boredom on Ji Zheng's face has disappeared, and he still looks as calm and stable as ever. He saw Xiao Jiang was about to speak, and suddenly paused, and smiled at her: "Have you changed your hairstyle?"

Xiao Jiang was startled, then touched the hair behind her ears, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, I always wanted to change it, but I got off work early yesterday, so I changed it."

She used to have slightly curly chestnut hair, but now she has dyed her hair black, straightened it, and tied it into a low ponytail hanging behind her neck. She is much more beautiful and pleasant than the previous fashion.

Ji Zheng smiled and said, "Very beautiful."

Being praised by a man like Ji Zheng, Xiao Jiang felt very good, touched the end of her hair happily, and said, "I'm still worried that it won't look good."

"How come, it suits you very well." Ji Zheng looked at her eyes carefully, and smiled again: "It may be presumptuous to say this, but you do look a bit like a Danish actress now."

Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up: "Actress, who is it?"

"Olivia Hussey, young people like you probably don't know her."

"It's true that I haven't heard of it, but I know it now, and I will search for her online later.

Ji Zheng nodded, tapped the cover of the watch lightly with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Then should you call Miss Qin now and ask when she will arrive?"

"Okay okay."

Xiao Jiang went out in a hurry, and after a while, Ji Zheng heard a lot of commotion in the lobby outside, mainly the girls' low exclamations.

It turned out that Qin Jing bought ice cream for the nurses and doctors, and the driver distributed boxes to everyone.In the hot summer, ice cream is the best gift, and most of the people on this floor are girls, so Qin Jing's arrival caused quite a commotion.

After 10 minutes passed, Qin Jing took the last box of ice cream and pushed open the door of Ji Zheng's office, and said with a smile, "Sorry, Doctor Ji, I'm late."

Ji Zheng pointed to the reception area and said, "It's okay, please sit down."

The two sat down facing each other as usual, Qin Jing sat on the recliner with his back to the window, and Ji Zheng sat on a single sofa diagonally opposite her.

"When I came up, I saw a new dessert shop opened across the street, so I bought some ice cream for you guys, try it."

Qin Jing put the ice cream packaged in an exquisite gift style in front of Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng opened the goose-yellow carton, dug a little with a wooden spoon and brought it to his mouth, smiling, "It's delicious, thank you."

Qin Jing looked at him with her chin in both hands and smiled: "Really? I'll try it too."

As she said that, she picked up another clean wooden spoon and ate a little, nodded and said: "It's okay, the taste of cream is a bit heavy."

Ji Zheng said: "Put it up first, and eat later."

He called Xiao Jiang in and asked Xiao Jiang to put the ice cream in the refrigerator outside.

Xiao Jiang came and left, and soon the two of them were left in the office.

Ji Zheng paid attention to her state, and found that she was in a good state of mind as soon as she entered the door. The anxiety and worry between her brows disappeared at this time, and the whole person became cheerful and friendly, as if being blown away by the wind After removing the dark clouds in her heart, her body was filled with sunshine from inside to outside.

"How are you feeling these days?"

Ji Zheng asked first.

Qin Jing took off her high heels very relaxedly, curled her legs up on the recliner, supported the recliner with her left hand, and rested her right hand on the hem of the skirt covering her calf.

"It's very busy, but it's also very fulfilling. My friend and I invested in a restaurant on Jingtai South Road. It needs to be renovated and rectified. The waiters and chefs have to be recruited. I haven't been able to sleep well these two days—"

Looking at Qin Jing's full and slightly tired smile, he kept talking about the various tasks that the new restaurant needs to carry out.Ji Zheng keenly captured several important points in her words.

In the past, Qin Jing couldn't fall asleep because she was troubled by 'nightmare', but now she said that she couldn't sleep because of the busyness of recruiting. It seems that she has not been attacked by 'nightmare' for a week.

Ji Zheng rested his right arm on the armrest of the sofa, resting his hand on his forehead, quietly listening to Qin Jing talking about the troubles caused by busy work, but he could not see troubles on Qin Jing's face, only happiness .

Gradually, Qin Jing stopped talking, covered her lips and smiled apologetically: "Did I talk too much?"

Ji Zheng smiled and said: "How come, I am willing to listen to you."

After speaking, he took out a pen from the breast pocket of his white coat, lowered his head to write something on the recording board, and asked, "Do you want to tell me about that dream again?"

Qin Jing said frankly: "I haven't had that dream for several days."

Ji Zheng stopped writing and looked up at her: "Then are you still afraid?"

Qin Jing lowered her eyes, touched the hem of the skirt with a circle of gold thread with her fingers, thought for a while before saying: "I can't see him anymore."

"The one behind the door?"

"Yes, I haven't seen him since I left you last time."

"In the dream, or outside the dream?"

"In a dream."

"What happened outside the dream? Is he still following you?"

Qin Jing suddenly turned her head and looked out the window, then turned her head and sighed in a low voice, and said, "I don't know, but I don't think of him often, and I don't often fear him."

Ji Zheng nodded and said, "That's good. Then do you dare to go upstairs?"

Qin Jing shook her head without thinking: "No, I dare not."

Ji Zheng's eyes sank slightly, and his voice became softer: "Why? Are you afraid that he will push you down?"

Qin Jing bit her lip suddenly, raised her left hand to stroke her left arm, and repeated again: "I'm not afraid of him anymore."

Ji Zheng paused for a moment, put away the record board, looked at her and asked softly: "The last time you saw him, was it in this office?"

Qin Jing was startled, looked up at Ji Zheng suspiciously: "Who did you see?"

"...the man who pushed you off the roof."

Qin Jing blinked, and her doubts deepened: "Don't you know?"

Ji Zheng looked quiet, and suddenly understood something, and induced her to say: "Should I know?"

"Yeah, when you—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Jing suddenly fell silent, as if her mind was suddenly emptied, she was stunned for a while, then she lowered her head and smiled as if trying to hide something: "Sorry, I just remembered wrong."

She looked at her watch, got off the recliner, put on high heels, looked at Ji Zheng and said, "I have an appointment with a friend, we will talk next time."

Ji Zheng sent her to the door.

When Qin Jing walked out of the office, Qianli's back suddenly stopped.She turned around slowly, looked sideways, not looking at Ji Zheng, and pulled the long hair on the side of her face behind her ears, before she spoke, her cheeks were flushed.

Ji Zheng looked at her and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qin Jing pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Doctor Ji, can we have dinner together tonight?"

Ji Zheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Huh?"

Qin Jing took out a business card from her bag and handed it to him, said hastily, "I'll wait for you at seven o'clock in the evening."

After finishing speaking, she took two quick steps and took the elevator downstairs with the driver.

Ji Zheng stood at the door of the office and looked at the business card she left behind. It was a western restaurant, and there was an appointment phone number printed on it...

He returned to the office, leaned against the table and meditated for a while, then returned to the desk and sat down, called up all the records Qin Jing had made since her visit to the doctor, printed them out and organized them into documents, then called Xiao Jiang in and handed the documents to her Said: "Leave it to Dr. Su, Qin Jing will be in charge of him in the future."

Xiao Jiang was surprised: "Why?"

Ji Zheng didn't explain, just prevaricated her a few words, and asked her to do it without criticism.

Xiao Jiang went out in a daze.

Ji Zheng immediately sent a text message to Qin Jing, politely declining her invitation.

As soon as the text message was sent, the phone rang a notification tone.He thought it was Qin Jing, but when he opened it, he found that it was not Qin Jing, but Yan Shen.

He and Yan Shen haven't been in contact since the last time they broke up unhappy. He sent Yan Shen a text message but there was no follow-up. Yan Shen didn't reply until now.

Ji Zheng was not worried that Yan Shen would stop contacting him, he knew that Yan Shen was just deliberately 'snubbing' him.

Yan Shen's text messages are very similar to his own speaking style, arrogant and provocative.

Yan Shen replied to him - what opportunity do you want?

After reading it, Ji Zheng put down his phone and continued with his work.

On the way to work, he glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer from time to time, and waited for 10 minutes before replying to Yan Shen—what chance can you give me?

As a psychiatrist, he knows very well that there is a limit to a person's enthusiasm for waiting for news. Half an hour is the dividing line, and the other party's enthusiasm will gradually cool down while waiting.Even if Yan Shen didn't wait for his reply on the phone, he would always keep it in his heart.This point can be seen from Yan Shen's intentionally late reply to the text message, Yan Shen will not forget him.

Ji Zheng replied to him before his enthusiasm and patience ran out, that is, he would not appear deliberate, nor would he appear indifferent.

The phone that had just been placed on the table turned on the screen light, and a text message notification was displayed across the table.

Ji Zheng's hands that were typing suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the phone, and saw Yan Shen's reply.

Yan Shen said, "Ask me?"I don't see your sincerity.

Maybe Yan Shen is a master of Fengyuechang, but he looks young and urgent in front of Ji Zheng. When Ji Zheng also treats him coldly, he also forgets that he should remain indifferent to Ji Zheng who is evenly matched.

Yan Shen was in a hurry.

Ji Zheng could understand Yan Shen's psychology with just one glance, so he became more determined in his heart, and after a little thought, he decided to warm up the ambiguity.

Ji Zheng picked up the phone, and the light from the screen hit his lens, creating a layer of cold white light.He pressed his phone and replied slowly - meet me, I will let you see my sincerity.

This round, Yan Shen reverted to his old ways, and it took a long time to reply to Ji Zheng, only the name of a nightclub and the date of the date.

Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the evening, Deep Sea Club.
