Chapter 61 Chapter 60

Before dawn, the sea mist floated over the city, horizontally between the sky and the earth, blurring the outline of the whole city, as if someone used the colors of oil paintings to outline a delicate beauty.

The four of Ji Han set off early, and the off-road vehicle passed through the city's ramp, just passing Chongming Island, with the coastline along the way.

When Jiang Li was abroad, he once studied and lived at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, one of the top life science research institutions in the United States.

In addition to working with the world's top researchers every day, what impresses her most is the coast of California and the sunset cliffs.

Every day when she gets off work and goes home from the research institute, she has to pass the coast of California, while driving along the winding cliff road in California, while admiring the afterglow of the California sunset.

Especially in August and September every year, a group of vaquitas will swim in groups from the Gulf of Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, and will stop briefly on the coast of California.

Jiang Li will never forget that scene in his life.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, seventy or eighty vaquitas jumped out of the sea and played happily in the blue sea.

That is not the beauty that can be outlined by literary and artistic colors, but the most vivid treasure of the earth bestowed by nature.

Except for the coast of California, which makes Jiang Li unforgettable, the rest are the mountains of Shanghai and the blue sea of ​​Qingdao.

At this moment, the sun has just risen from the skyline. Under the refraction of the sea water and the light, the sea surface in the distance presents a kind of grayish blue, as if someone has stained the pen and ink, and made this bay into a brush wash. Blurred the color.

The off-road vehicle sped by, and the gentle wind blew in through the window, which was rare without the feeling of wetness.

Jiang Li enjoyed the journey with his eyes closed, feeling that this moment in life is really very comfortable.

"We'll be there soon."

Ji Han called her from the driver's seat, Jiang Li came back to his senses, and found that the car turned around a stretch of green mountains at some point. In Shanghai's international tourism brochures, there is a very famous saying, climb the mountains in Shanghai, Look at the temple in Songjiang.

It is hard to imagine that in this steel forest-like city, there can also be a touch of the beauty of green shade that is loved by nature.

At the foot of the mountain, several people got out of the car and carried their travel bags, and the two gay men Wei Ran and Ji Han were responsible for carrying the cooking utensils and tent bags.

Pei Xiaonan pointed to a convenience store that was lined up not far away, and asked the three of them what they would like to drink.

Ji Han waved his hand and patted his bag: "I prepared frozen watermelon juice and freshly squeezed orange juice last night."

Pei Xiaonan walked back and forth between Jiang Li and Ji Han, and said with a joking smile: "Old Ji, we used to go out to play, but I didn't see you being so careful, and you even specially prepared freshly squeezed orange juice!"

Jiang Li glared at Pei Xiaonan, and interrupted her: "Okay, okay, let's compete and see who climbs to the top of the mountain first, and the loser will prepare dinner! You are not allowed to take the cable car, that is a foul, Just admit defeat!"

Pei Xiaonan hastily pulled Wei Ran, who was wearing large and small bags, to his side: "Then I will be in the same group as Old Wei, and Jiang Jiang, you and Lao Ji will be in the same group."

Jiang Li nodded, chose a mountain road up the mountain, and walked over it first.

Ji Han took out the parasol from his bag, opened it, and walked side by side with Jiang Li.

Pei Xiaonan glanced at the two of them enviously, and covered the scorching sun above her head with her hands, seeing that most of them were young men and women who came to play in pairs, many of the men were holding up parasols for the girls, But I didn't.

She turned her head and glanced at Wei Ran who was following behind her and said nothing, and was completely defeated by this steel straight ball man.

When you cross the mountainside, you have to pass a section of plank road. The terrain is a bit steep and you need safety equipment. If you don’t want to take the plank road, you can take the cable car directly to the top of the mountain.

Neither Jiang Li nor Ji Han chose the cable car, and it was a rare opportunity to come out to exercise, but she was stopped by the staff beside the plank road before taking two steps: "Beauty, you have untied your sneakers, tie them, it's safe." First!"

Jiang Li lowered his head and saw that the laces of his white sneakers were indeed drooping and dragged to the ground, and when he was about to squat down, he was stopped by Ji Han.

"Don't move, I'm coming!"

Ji Han stuffed the parasol into Jiang Li's hand, squatted down and carefully tied her shoelaces.

Holding an umbrella, Jiang Li subconsciously took a step back.

Ji Han reminded her not to move around, and gently tied her shoelaces.

It happened that a young couple also came to the plank road and witnessed the scene in front of them.

The girl said to her boyfriend with envy: "Look at his boyfriend, how gentle, careful, and considerate, and then look at you!"

The boy glanced at Ji Han, cut it, and said, "Daughter-in-law, you don't have to pity him."

Jiang Li listened to the conversation between the two, amused and embarrassed at the same time, and hastily covered his face with an umbrella to block the envious eyes of passers-by.

"It's fastened! I promise it won't open!"

Ji Han got up, took the umbrella, continued to smile and said, "Do you still remember the time when I was just an intern? At that time, I was scolded by the teacher every day, saying that I was ugly when I sutured skin. Such a suturing doctor will be unlucky for eight lifetimes, so during that time, I was stuck in the simulation room, doing nothing, practicing ligation and suturing every day, and at the end of the practice, I was able to make more than 80 kinds of sutures. Knot!"

Ji Han couldn't help showing a proud look on his face: "Do you still remember that when we first got married, you specifically said that if we had a daughter in the future, let me tie her shoelaces and tie her hair? Change to a different way of tying, and it can last for a month without repeating the same pattern!"

Hearing Ji Han talk about the past, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing: "It's indeed what I said. I still remember that we had a quarrel over whether to have a boy or a girl in the future. I prefer boys. You insist on having a daughter. In the end, the colleagues at the premarital examination couldn't stand it anymore, and said they should just have twins, with a boy and a girl."

The two talked and laughed and walked towards the forest guard tower halfway up the mountain, which happened to be the place with the most tourists.

Jiang Li originally wanted to rest here, but just as he found a rock to sit down, a group of young people rushed over, a girl wearing rubber spikes accidentally stepped on Jiang Li's ankle.

Jiang Li cried out in pain, Ji Han hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and reached out to help her, when Jiang Li came out from the crowd, his right ankle could no longer touch the ground.

"Are you okay? Who did it!"

Ji Han stared angrily at the crowd that had completely quieted down, Jiang Li pulled Ji Han away, and forced a smile: "Why, he didn't do it on purpose, I'm fine, it shouldn't be too much trouble if you take it easy question."

"I have a medical kit in my bag, let me help you over there first, check it."

Speaking of which, Ji Han stared at the dodging girl in the crowd in confusion, carefully helped Jiang Li walk towards the open space beside him, and sat down on a stone pier.

He took out the medical bag from the bag, and then carefully took off Jiang Li's sneakers and socks, exposing her white feet.

Jiang Li's toes looked like crystal clear grapes, very pretty, but his ankles were already red and swollen.

Ji Han gently held Jiang Li's feet and placed them on his lap.

Jiang Li instinctively wanted to retract his feet, but Ji Han grabbed the soles of his feet: "Why are you shy, now you are a patient and I am a doctor, and you also said that in the eyes of doctors, patients have no gender distinction of."

Jiang Li looked around and many people were looking at him, somewhat embarrassed, but Ji Han held his feet in his palm.

He carefully observed and palpated Jiang Li's ankle, and then his expression relaxed: "It should be a cartilage contusion, not a bone injury, but you can't continue walking, I'll spray you with Yunnan Baiyao and silt spray first. "

After Ji Han took care of Jiang Li's ankle and carefully bandaged it with a layer of gauze, he immediately hung his heavy backpack on his chest and squatted in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li watched his movements, his face changed, and he said with a smile: "No, Lao Ji, you want to carry me up the mountain?"

Ji Han didn't answer, looked back at her, and said in a low voice: "Your feet can't be hardened, otherwise, do you want to lie on the bed for a month without getting off the ground, or do you want to get a plaster cast? Are you afraid of delaying work? "

Although Jiang Li really wanted to refuse, but knowing Ji Han's temperament, if he really refused, I'm afraid the two of them would be deadlocked here after dark.

Jiang Li stepped forward with one foot, and gently laid his whole body on Ji Han's generous back.

Ji Han took advantage of the opportunity to support her thighs and stood up, with a heavy travel bag hanging in front of her, and continued walking towards the top of the mountain.

Jiang Li's head rested on Ji Han's shoulder, turned his head away, and avoided looking directly at Ji Han's side face, feeling the warmth of his palm on the side of his thigh, and a blush appeared on his face.

On the other side, the camping area at the top of the mountain.

Pei Xiaonan sat on the rocks in the camping area, waiting boredly, looked at the sun shining high in the sun, and drank the rest of the mineral water in displeasure: "I just said, don't take the cable car up, you have to give it to me." Take the cable car up, where will those bags sink! Why don't men exercise more!"

Wei Ran was as tired as a dog, paralyzed on the grass, and listening to Pei Xiaonan's words, he looked at the three thick travel bags beside him uninterestedly, and sneered boringly: "You don't call this heavy? I I don’t understand, why did you bring three pots up? And a pressure cooker?”

Pei Xiaonan looked at Wei Ran as a matter of course: "Of course I brought a pressure cooker to make coconut chicken! I also prepared fresh coconut chicken in my bag! Don't you have common sense? I read on Baidu that you must bring a pressure cooker when climbing mountains, otherwise things Undercooked."

"Coconut chicken? Can't it be cooked?" Wei Ran was desperate. "Miss, the altitude here is 98 meters, not 9800 meters. Are you cooking steel chicken? You still need to use a pressure cooker? It's still not cooked!"

"What's the matter!" Pei Xiaonan whimpered, "I just like to use a pressure cooker!"

Wei Ran looked up to the sky and sighed, "Old Ji, where are you? Come and rescue me, I said you shouldn't come to climb the mountain, my poor PS5, my wife, it must be left alone in the cold place of the rookie station!" On the shelves!"

"However, Ji Han and the others, did they use climbing? Even if we took the cable car up first, it's already this hour, and the two of them should be there soon!"

There was still some distance to the top of the mountain, Ji Han's legs were trembling a little, he couldn't move anymore, so he and Jiang Li waited for the next cable car at the station near the mountain road.

Jiang Li looked at the forest-drenched mountains in the distance. The undulating buildings were hidden in the forest and stretched towards the sea.Standing on a high place, you can even see the vast expanse of blue waves in the distance of Chongming Island, overlooking most of Central Finance.

Simply Ji Han took out his digital camera and suggested, "Shall I take a photo for you?"

Jiang Li stood on the side of the mountain path, swaying, and made a victory gesture towards the camera. Ji Han raised the camera and peeked at Jiang Li's appearance through the lens.

It wasn't until Jiang Li's urging voice sounded that Ji Han hastily pressed the shutter button of his index finger.

Coincidentally, an empty cable car floated from the foot of the mountain to the stop.

The staff responsible for the safety of the cable car was an elderly man. He looked at the two young men who walked over with a smile on his face and asked, "Are you two husband and wife? I noticed it when I came up just now. You guys, girl, you are so happy, your husband has been carrying you up such a high mountain?"

Jiang Li hurriedly explained: "Master, we are not husband and wife, but ex-husband and wife."

"Ex-husband and wife?" The uncle was taken aback for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, "You two are really interesting. People say that a divorced couple is half-enemy, and they never see each other. fine."

Jiang Li smiled, and hastily changed the subject: "We heard that meteors can be seen on the top of the mountain tonight, so we came here to make a wish."

"Making a wish?" The uncle shook his head and chattered about his own story.

The two of them were quiet listeners most of the time, until they stopped at the next stop, Jiang Li got up and went to the toilet.

The uncle lit a cigarette and looked at Ji Han: "Young man, I have lived for more than 60 years, and I have never believed in making a wish, because making a wish is too general for a living person. You are still so young and alive. Since you have , there is no wish to come true, why don't you rely on yourself to strive for it, but pin your hope on such an illusory shooting star wish?"

Ji Han suddenly became clumsy: "I..."

"Do you still like that girl, so why don't you confess?!" The uncle nodded angrily, took another puff of cigarette, and puffed, "Man, everything in this life is empty in the end , fame and wealth are empty, gold and silver are empty, desire is empty, but there is only one thing that is not empty, and that is emotion."

Ji Han looked at the uncle awkwardly: "Master, you must have had a lot of emotional experience when you were young, right?"

The uncle proudly stubbed out the cigarette butt: "That is, back then, your uncle and I were in Shanghai, and we were also known as prodigal sons in love..."

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Ji Han and Jiang Li slowly felt the campsite, and Wei Ran acted as his coolie, and was dragged by Ji Han to set up a tent.

Jiang Li and Pei Xiaonan were back to back, sitting on the swing on the cliff, looking into the distance, the whole body was relaxed, being blown by the mountain wind, it seemed as if the dust stained in the reinforced concrete had been washed away.

"When I'm not busy, I plan to participate in the hospital's rural medical support plan and go to rural villages and towns for free consultations."

Jiang Li took a sip of the hot tea he had brewed, and suddenly expressed his thoughts.

Pei Xiaonan was stunned for a moment: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the countryside for a free clinic?"

Jiang Li smiled: "I went to the United States to study and study seven years ago. One day I went to California to attend an academic conference. When I passed by a coffee shop on the street, I walked in and found a vacant seat. I ordered a cup of latte. Be quiet. I sat there all afternoon, and at that moment, I suddenly felt that I was transparent. When I was dragged by my colleagues from other research institutes to the shopping mall to buy brand-name bags, I felt that I became strange, and suddenly I didn’t know what to buy. The material requirements are getting lower and lower, but life becomes easier instead, but it shouldn’t be me, right? Am I a woman with a strong purpose?”

"When I was in high school, I complained to my mother, Zhao Guizhi, that other people's children go to various cram schools, why can I only rely on school to make up lessons? It is said that parents are the starting point of children, but I was born in such a In my family, it seemed that I lost at the starting point of life from the very beginning, so I worked hard afterwards, took the postgraduate entrance examination, got a scholarship, and went abroad to study, just to prove that I was no worse than others. Later, it made me firmly determined to go abroad. In Anderson Pursuing dreams on this international platform, pursuing a different life and future than staying with my mother, but when Ms. Zhao passed away, it taught me a vivid lesson!"

Jiang Li glanced at Pei Xiaonan, and rested his head on Pei Xiaonan's shoulder, "So I came back in the end, Zhao Guizhi was right, no matter where I go, even if I go to England to become the queen, it won't change that I am her daughter." People don't need to do any earth-shattering events to live. If most people can do one thing in their lifetime, their life will not be wasted. So Zhao Guizhi has been a teacher for a lifetime, and when I come back, I decided to be a lifetime teacher. oncologist."

Pei Xiaonan touched her cheek distressedly: "How many women can be as desireless as you? At least I can't do it. I also want to take over the senior director of our laboratory after he retires. I also thought that maybe when I was in my 40s or 50s, I would be able to break through the cancer barrier, and like my goddess Tu Aoao, stand on the podium for the Nobel Prize as a Chinese female scientist. Proudly listening to the announcement of the presidium to medical scholars all over the world, the Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Pei Xiaonan from China!"

Jiang Li laughed out loud: "Then Director Pei must continue to work hard. With your team's current CAR-T research progress, if you want to catch up with European and American research institutes, it will take at least 100 years. A gap of more than 30 years!"

Pei Xiaonan glanced at Jiang Li angrily: "Can you stop pouring cold water on me when I'm high!"

Jiang Li laughed: "No, it's my most gentle love for you if I kill you!"

Pei Xiaonan was in a hurry: "What kind of domineering CEO literature do you see, woman, you've offended me!!"

Not far away, Wei Ran, who was sweating profusely while setting up a tent, glanced at the two women talking and laughing on the swing, and sighed: "Old Ji, it's a good thing I have you, brother, you're so kind, you can Go through hardships with me! I have decided, when I go back, I will lend you my 'wife' to play for two days!"

"What are you talking about?!" Ji Han glanced at him, "But I don't mind helping you experiment with your newly bought PS5 first."

Speaking of which, Ji Han put down the tools in his hand, looked at the tent that had been set up, stretched his waist in satisfaction, and smiled at Wei Ran: "Old Wei, keep your promise, you violated the rules by taking the cable car, so tonight, you guys Come get ready."

Wei Gas threw down the hammer in his hand in desperation: "I take back what I said just now, you ungrateful villain, don't even try to touch my wife!"
