Chapter 11 Dawn - Alcoholic
Aunt Niu had the operation earlier than Jiang Limei, and she was discharged from the hospital earlier. Jiang Limei hadn't woken up that day, but she heard rustling around her. It was Aunt Niu packing her things and packing her luggage.The nurse wanted to help, but Aunt Niu refused. The old lady was so stubborn that she had to come by herself even in a wheelchair.

Jiang Limei opened her eyes in a daze, and Aunt Niu was a little embarrassed: "I'm bothering you, girl, I'm leaving the hospital today. I've been at home since I was old, so pack up early and go back early."

"It's okay." Jiang Limei opened her mouth, her throat was hoarse, and she sneezed loudly one after another.

"Yeah, do you have a cold?"

Before the operation, Jiang Limei had signs of catching a cold. The heavy snow and the sudden drop in temperature, coupled with the unfamiliar environment in the hospital, finally broke out after the operation.

The patients in the same ward got up one after another to wash up.

Jiang Limei took the thermos to the boiling water to indirect a cup of boiling water, then went to the nurse's station to borrow a thermometer, and the reading showed 38 degrees, indicating that she had a fever.The nurse can't give Jiang Limei cold medicine without authorization, she has to wait for the doctors to check the ward rounds.

Jiang Limei kicked the plush slippers back to the ward, only to feel pain all over her body, and every joint was sore and swollen, which was much more uncomfortable than the injured arm. As soon as she entered the ward, the bed next door was already empty.Aunt Niu has left.

Jiang Limei felt frustrated from the bottom of her heart.

She has experienced many separations, unilateral escapes, or farewells between the two parties. In theory, she should have been desensitized long ago.But people who are born with a lot of love seem to have a curse, and they are destined to be imprisoned in love forever. Even if they are in a relationship that is close to each other, it will still be difficult to escape sadness.

Jiang Limei held the thermos cup in both hands, took a sip of hot water, and suddenly heard someone calling her:

"Little Ginger!"

Aunt Niu was sitting in a wheelchair, at the door of the ward, going back and forth, holding a glass jar in her hand, and shaking it towards Jiang Limei: "Cashew nuts in sugar, I think you like them, let my old man make some more, you Keep it and eat."

Jiang Limei took it, and it was a full can, heavy.

She suddenly felt a little sour, but held back.

"Auntie, I'm going to be discharged from the hospital, can I leave a contact information with you?"

Aunt Niu was very happy, and the two scanned WeChat. Aunt Niu’s WeChat nickname was “Handsome Daniel”, and there was an emoji of Niu Niu.

"Xiao Jiang, you also recover soon, and then come to your aunt's house for dinner. My daughter is a few years older than you, and she is not married. Although she lives by herself, she has to come back every weekend to eat, so you come back together. You have no family in Lingshi If so, come often."

As Aunt Niu said, she suddenly slapped her thigh:
"Yeah, Chinese New Year is coming soon, you want to go back to your hometown to see your parents?"

Jiang Limei put the glass jar in her bag carefully, pursed her lips and smiled, not leaking any flaws: "...Well, yes."

.

It turns out that New Years is almost here.Thanks to Aunt Niu's reminder, Jiang Limei suddenly realized that time was speeding up.

The end of the year is one festival after another. People's hearts are loosened, just like the stream reaches the ocean, people can show up unscrupulously, and then laugh:
What's the hurry, let's talk about it next year!
The whole world is waiting for the new year, and the circle of friends is peaceful every day, only Jiang Limei is in a state of desperation.

In the case of the curator company, there was a little problem in communication.

Party A asked Jiang Limei's studio to provide the design elements of all products before the year. After confirmation, the demo can be released after the year.There are 12 groups of design elements, corresponding to 12 exhibitions.

Jiang Limei is very confident in herself and the designers she recruited. Among them, 11 groups of elements have been successfully determined, and only one group is left. Party A has been dissatisfied. The feedback given is: it does not match the tonality of the exhibition and lacks connection .

Jiang Limei has long been used to this kind of specious opinion. It is nothing more than "not enough direction" and "feeling wrong".

She patiently explained to Party A’s coordinator that the theme of this exhibition is a Japanese animation. When the exhibition was held, she obtained the IP authorization from the animation author, but this does not mean that animation peripheral products can be produced. This is a serious infringement. Lawsuit.

After much deliberation, Jiang Limei could only use some inconspicuous IP elements to create again.

Originally, the creation was very difficult, and Party A was frequently dissatisfied. The most frustrating thing was that the communication efficiency of Party A’s contact person was extremely slow. I wanted to arrange an online multi-person meeting to discuss it, and it took a few days to make an appointment less than people.

The other party was arrogant, yin and yang: "Our company has a lot of business, and your small studio will be idle at the end of the year anyway, so why worry?"

Make Wu Yusi so angry that he hammers the air in the office:

"Jiang Limei, did you hear that? They said there's no rush, don't do it, fuck it, we'll talk about it after the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Limei listened to the phone, and Wu Yusi's throat split.

If it was before, she would be more aggressive than Wu Yusi. After going through this hospitalization, she felt that her mentality was like a Buddha, and she could still calm down and comfort Wu Yusi:
".That's all. They are not in a hurry, but we have to be in a hurry. Money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat. Let's bear with it."

Ren Yu walked into the ward and saw Jiang Limei wearing black-rimmed glasses, lying on the bed holding the computer, typing with one hand, stuffing a piece of potato chips into her mouth from time to time, and chewing them.

She had lost a lot of weight in the past few days after being admitted to the hospital, and her sharp chin became even thinner, and her shoulders hung down, as if they could be broken by a gust of wind.

Jiang Limei looked up from the computer screen, and when she saw Ren Yu, her first reaction was to hide the bag of potato chips behind her back.It's as nervous as being caught by the teacher for stealing food in class.

Ren Yu adjusted his glasses, pretended not to see, and coughed twice:

"I heard you have a fever."

There were crumbs of potato chips at the corner of Jiang Limei's mouth. She licked it and smiled at Ren Yu:

"A little cold, everything is fine. I wanted to ask you to prescribe some cold medicine, but they said that you are on vacation, and I don't want to go to Director Sun, so I will be fine."

".I am on leave."

"I know." Jiang Limei smiled: "They said you should have been on vacation a long time ago, is it because you want to operate on me? Thank you, Doctor Ren."

Become a doctor again.

On the day of the operation, they tacitly stopped talking about the conversation in the preparation room.

Jiang Limei touched the thermos cup, and the steaming and angry mist wetted her eyelashes.She seemed to understand everything, and she seemed to be pretending to be confused about everything. Ren Yu couldn't understand her, but couldn't help approaching her again and again.

He sighed secretly in his heart: "You're welcome, it's nothing."

Jiang Limei sat on the bed at a low place, and when she stared at him from bottom to top, she looked like the orange cat at home begging for canned cat food, ignorant and cunning:

"Doctor Ren, when will I be discharged from the hospital?"

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Looking forward to the operation before the operation, and looking forward to being discharged from the hospital after the operation, Director Sun means that if the bed is not tight now, he can stay for a few more days.

Director Sun found it hard to talk, so Jiang Limei was thinking about Ren Yu.

"Director Sun didn't say anything, and I can't discharge you without authorization. It's actually good to stay a few more days, because many patients didn't treat their wounds well after returning home, which is even more troublesome."

"But Doctor Ren, I can't eat or sleep well here. I really miss home."

There was a hint of coquettishness in the tone.

Ren Yu choked up, avoiding her eyes, turned around and saw the bag of potato chips in her hand, and a plastic bag with a supermarket logo on the table. There were all kinds of things in it, all kinds of snacks and drinks, and even cans. beer.

Jiang Limei looked back following Ren Yu's gaze, quickly blocked it with her body, and smiled awkwardly:
"Yeah, it was discovered."

Wu Yusi, who was about to die, seemed to have no common sense at all. How could anyone give wine to a patient who had just finished an operation, but he was plausible, saying that there are no taboos in Western medicine, and that mood is the most important thing.When you are in a good mood, you will naturally heal faster.

Jiang Limei raised her hands above her head and made an exaggerated gesture of surrender: "Drinking is not allowed in the ward, I know it!"

Ren Yu was amused by her, and his heart seemed to be scratched, but his face was still strong: "Eat less snacks, if you lose your appetite to eat, you will not have enough nutrition, and your recovery will be slow."

He has met Jiang Limei several times in a row, and Jiang Limei always looks like she lacks appetite. The boxed lunches delivered by order in the cafeteria are either eaten for a few bites, or simply given to others as they are.

"Although you don't need to follow the old-fashioned way of eating and nourishing, at least you should eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat regularly and quantitatively."

"The canteen in the hospital is not bad. Although the taste is average, the ingredients are good, and light oil and light salt. It would be the best if you can cook for yourself after leaving the hospital. It is difficult to choose takeaway food now."

Jiang Limei listened quietly without interrupting, pretending to be a good student. When an occupational disease broke out, she talked for a long time without realizing that she was speaking faster, her tone became colder, and she became a businessman. The appearance of giving the doctor's order was finally interrupted by Jiang Limei's chuckle.

Jiang Limei folded the bag of potato chips a few times, sealed it, and threw it into a plastic bag.

"Doctor Ren, what are your hobbies?"

She is really curious, do doctors have time to cook for themselves?Educate others in a set way.

Ren Yu didn't keep up with her jumping thinking, pondered for a few seconds, and replied: "...I don't have much time to rest, reading books, exercising, or watching some American dramas."

Ren Yu suddenly realized that he was really a very boring person.

Before meeting Jiang Limei again, he had never thought about it this way.

"Oh, that's it." Jiang Limei shrugged: "Does that doctor know how to cook?"

"I usually eat in the cafeteria."

"But I don't have a cafeteria to eat, and I'm usually very busy, so I don't have time to go home and cook. So, Doctor Ren, I'll try to eat on time, try my best. As for the takeaway, I'll pick some light ones, okay?"

Jiang Limei counted each item in detail: "Don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, stay up late less, exercise more, play with mobile phones less, and sleep more. Right? Is there anything else?"

Ren Yu didn't expect the topic to develop like this.

Jiang Limei seems to be coaxing people, she has a magical ability, she is obviously in a weak position, but she does not have the posture of a weak person at all, leading the topic, so that he has nothing to do except obey and respond.

Ren Yu nodded in confusion.

What responded to him was Jiang Limei's big laugh.She shook her shoulders and giggled: "Doctor Ren, do you know that what I just said is almost impossible to do?"

Modern people!Anyone can do it!
Ren Yu pursed her lips, unable to see the expression:

"I know, just try my best."

During the time Jiang Limei was hospitalized, she almost lived a life isolated from the outside world. Apart from her fellow patients in the same ward, Ren Yu was the one she saw the most.

She felt more and more that the twins were really miraculous.

When she was in love with Ren Xun in the past, she used to complain to her college roommates. Ren Xun has a wonderful artist personality, and he is free to do whatever he wants, but he is very aggressive and possessive, like some kind of acid. Dye, she was stained and corroded, and she could never leave him again.

The same parents, but Ren Yu is like a lake that will never wave.

She guessed that even if a firecracker was thrown in, it would not be able to blow up the water. Ren Yu seemed to be always in his own spectrum, following his own logic, not affecting others, and not letting others affect him.

Jiang Limei was discharged from the hospital two days later.

Ling City is so big, if it is not intentional, it will be difficult to meet again. On the day she was hospitalized, she wanted to say hello to Ren Yu and thank her for her care these days, but was told by other doctors that Dr. Ren had gone to the assessment meeting and was not there. Hospital.

Huang Youhui knew that they were friends, so he reminded: "You can send a WeChat message to senior brother."

But where did the WeChat come from?
Only then did Jiang Limei realize that she had no contact information for Ren Yu at all.

She gave Ren Yu her cell phone number, but she never received a friend request.

Ren Yu didn't add her.

Jiang Limei helplessly spread her hands and put the matter behind her.

.

It is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

The communication with Party A on the project was still not smooth, Wu Yu learned from the pain, and finally agreed with Jiang Limei's statement - this kind of fragmented order, it is better not to accept it, not to mention how much money you can't make, and the manpower and energy it consumes too big.

All the employees in the studio complained about this Party A.As the bosses, Wu Yusi and Jiang Limei wanted to appease the employees, so they took the opportunity of Christmas to book a booth in the nightclub and take everyone to play together.

When the WeChat rang, Jiang Limei didn't hear it. She was frowning and staring at the people moving in the music.

It was the first time for her to seriously examine the issue of her "getting older". This nightclub had just opened, and the sound and atmosphere were very good, but she couldn't enjoy it at all. She just felt a pain in her chest, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat. There was no way, I had no choice but to hold a bottle of Corona, and huddled in a corner to sip.

I didn't deliberately dress up today, it was a normal commuting outfit, an apricot-colored sweater, and creamy white corduroy wide-leg pants. Just to get a little bit of Christmas excitement, I changed to a watch with a maroon dial.Rao was dressed like this, and it also attracted several men who came to ask for their contact information.

She added it pleasing to the eye, and when she looked at her phone again, Ren Yu's friend application was lying in the middle of a row of applications.

Ren Yu's nickname is Ren Yu, and his avatar is also clean, which is particularly conspicuous among all the bells and whistles.

Jiang Limei clicked to agree first, and then poked into the circle of friends, but there was nothing worth peeping in the circle of friends. The background image was provided by the system, and the access permission was visible for three days.

uninteresting.

She was about to put down her phone when a dialog box popped up.

Ren Yu: [Outside? ]
Jiang Limei subconsciously pushed the beer bottle away.

Inexplicable, but also a guilty conscience of being caught.

Ren Yu: [The hospital has regulations that do not allow doctors to add the WeChat of patients or family members. I know you have been discharged from the hospital. I had a meeting a few days ago and have been busy. ]
He is explaining.

Jiang Limei thought it was funny, there was no such person among her friends, who was gentle, shy, and to put it bluntly, a bit stubborn.

[Is Doctor Ren outside too? ]
It shows that it is typing, and a reply is received after a while:

Ren Yu: [I'm at home. ]
Ren Yu: [I guess you will go out today, drink less, don't be too late, pay attention to safety. ]
Jiang Limei pursed her lips and looked around for safety.

Wu Yusi was already high, and she squeezed to sit down next to Jiang Limei with vain steps, and grabbed the phone: "Yo, Doctor Ren, who is it, you still hooked up with the doctor?"

"I was the attending doctor when I was hospitalized." Jiang Limei leaned lazily: "It's also my ex-boyfriend's brother, a twin brother."

"Ex-boyfriend? Which ex-boyfriend are you?"

Wu Yusi knew every love story of Jiang Limei after they met.But Jiang Limei shook her head: "You don't know, it happened when I was in school."

"Mom, first love."

Jiang Limei nodded.

"Does it look alike?"

"Twins, do you think they look alike?"

"Then during your hospital stay, you have been facing a face exactly like your ex-boyfriend's. Wouldn't you be insane? Wouldn't you have hallucinations?" Wu Yusi found it too unbelievable.

Jiang Limei thought for a while: "Occasionally, but it's okay."

Fortunately, Ren Yu and Ren Xun are different except for their faces.

The phone vibrated again.

Ren Yu: [You are busy, I have nothing else to do. ]
Ren Yu: [Remember to check the arm once a month, just go to the orthopedic clinic, Director Sun visits every Wednesday morning. ]
Jiang Limei thought to tease him: [Can't I get your number? ]
It took a long time for the opposite side to come back,

Ren Yu: [Also, I do it every afternoon except Wednesday and Friday. ]
Jiang Limei recalled his schedule, rounds in the morning and outpatient clinic in the afternoon, so it seemed that he was really busy.

[OK, I remember.Dr. Ren, can I see your cat? ]
She has always been curious, what kind of cat would anyone raise if she met such a dull person?

It is estimated that he has no personality, he is slow, slow, and has a sense of distance from others, just like Ren Yu.

The photo was sent over quickly, and it was taken by Ren Yu sitting on the ground.Jiang Limei zoomed in and zoomed in, and finally saw a ball of fur in the corner of the photo.It was a very fat orange cat, yellow and white, hiding in a smoky gray curtain, sleeping soundly in a ball.

Ren Yu: [The floor by the window is extremely hot, it likes to sleep there. ]
really.

The orange cat's tail formed a circle, covering its own tail, as if it didn't care about worldly affairs.

Jiang Limei laughed and tapped the screen with her fingernails:
[What's his name? ]
Wu Yusi drank a little too much and couldn't find her bag in a daze. She waved to Jiang Limei and asked her to help her find it and go out to sober up.

Jiang Limei scolded Wu Yusi for being worthless while helping her out.

This street is full of bars and restaurants, every tree is decorated with colorful lights, all i want for Christmas is you is playing at the door of the next door shop, the atmosphere of Christmas is romantic, and the exhaled breath turns into white mist.

Ren Yu didn't reply for a long time.

I don't know how to return.

Fortunately, Jiang Limei didn't ask any further questions, as if it was just chatting, it doesn't matter if it stopped abruptly.

The orange cat had had enough sleep, opened his eyes, arched his body and stretched, and walked slowly towards Ren Yu, without stopping, walked around and went to eat by himself.

Ren Yu also stood up and went to add cat food.

The cat food bowl is made of ceramics. Huang Youhui traveled to JDZ last year and brought gifts for everyone. What he brought to Ren Yu was a small hand-fired ceramic bowl.

"Brother, I made it myself, and it's troublesome to make pottery."

He held up the small bowl to show Ren Yu the pattern on it, a cat's head and a name:
"Your cat is a handsome boy. Is it appropriate for you to name him Rose? Is he willing?"

Ren Yu didn't answer.

The cat eats very deliciously, the sound of chewing cat food is amplified by the empty room, and the WeChat notification tone is also amplified:

[Merry Christmas, Doctor Ren. ]
Ren Yu laughed.
