night falls

Chapter 58 Hearing the sound at night 57
Because he had to work overtime tonight, Wen Shiqing had half a day off tomorrow morning, so he was not in a hurry to go to bed at the moment. After taking a shower, he sat down on the sofa in the living room and told Jiang Ai the past events related to "Wen Sheng Lai".

In the dead of night, except for the sound of the wind from the cars speeding past outside the window, the whole house was extremely quiet.His mellow voice was deep and slowly lingering in her ears, like a hypnotic, which made her feel at ease and at ease.

……

"So you were the one who sent me a private message on the APP that day?" Listening to what he said, Jiang Gai suddenly remembered this matter.

"Well," he said, "I've been waiting for you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to stop singing."

"Oh my god." Jiang Gai straightened up from his arms and exclaimed, "I remember you asked me for WeChat that day!"

Wen Shiqing: "Yes."

Jiang Gai was inexplicably unhappy: "You actually asked for WeChat from another woman! I added you on WeChat and pestered you for a long time before you agreed, but you actually asked for WeChat from another woman!"

"Other women?" Wen Shiqing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't they all you?"

"How is that the same!" Jiang Gai snorted, "You didn't know it was me at that time!"

After saying that, she gritted her teeth and muttered: "Fortunately, I didn't agree to add you on WeChat at that time. I should have let you taste the feeling of being rejected!"

Jiang Gai turned her head and looked at him resentfully, feeling jealous and uncomfortable everywhere: "Then you kept rejecting me at that time, is it partly because you like to 'come by hearing the sound'?"

Wen Shiqing stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek and responded quickly: "No, I don't like 'Come upon hearing the sound'. To her... I should say, it's your singing. I just rely on it."

To be honest, asking her to send her WeChat message that night was just a spur of the moment, and he had never thought about the deeper development of "Wen Sheng Lai".

"Then think about it again, it's good to let you know." Jiang Gai suddenly smiled, the bright eyes and white teeth reflected in his eyes, which made people's hearts beat. "My singing is also a part of me. If this If it can make you love me more, I will."

Wen Shiqing raised the corner of his mouth, stroked her long hair, and said in a low and seductive voice, "Even without this song, I would only love you more."

Jiang Jie's heart trembled, and she immediately lowered her head and chest in shame, and her scalp was numb.

(((o(*▽*)o)))
Another flirtatious word...

……

"That's not right." After a while, Jiang Gai stretched out his hand to shake him and wondered, "You've heard me sing a lot, how come you don't recognize my voice?"

Hearing this, Wen Shiqing was stunned for a while.

When I heard her singing for the first time, although I was familiar with it, I only thought it was similar to "Wen Sheng Lai". I never thought she could be "Wen Sheng Lai".

Because this is a bit unrealistic for him.

But fate is such a wonderful thing.The harder things are for you to imagine, the more likely they are to catch you off guard.

After a long time, he smiled, with a sense of dumbfounding: "I haven't thought about that."

"..." Jiang Gai gave a thumbs up, "You win. You fake fan."

Wen Shiqing: "..."

……

In the second half of the night, Jiang Gai couldn't resist the sleepiness that swept over her. She lay on Wen Shiqing's lap and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the early morning, the morning light breaks, and the golden sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the tiled floor of the living room, making the flying dust in the air particularly clear.

The crisp sound of a bird flapping its wings suddenly woke up Jiang Jie from her sleep.

She moved her eyelids, her mind gradually cleared, and she slowly opened one eye.

The man's handsome and calm sleeping face was facing her, so close that she could touch his lips when she raised her head.

Feeling very warm all over his body, Jiang Jie leaned up slightly to take a look and covered himself with a quilt.

Memories of last night came rushing back to me.

They talked until late, and then she fell asleep.The two of them were just huddled on the sofa, sleeping opposite each other.

Jiang Jie lowered her eyes shyly and leaned closer to his arms.

The sofa was too crowded, and the ginger mustard in his arms, and the soft and delicate taste made Wen Shiqing have a very torturous night, and he even slept very little.

Such a movement of Jiang Jie woke him up completely, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and when he looked at her, his eyes were red, revealing the uncontrollable desire in the morning.

"You don't move."

He suddenly spoke, and the tone was so hoarse that it startled Jiang Gai.

The latter was sluggish. He thought of something and suddenly didn't dare to move. He opened his eyes with a red face and stared straight at him, his eyes were frank and seductive.

Wen Shiqing's back stiffened, and he became increasingly restless and uneasy. The last rationality in his mind almost collapsed. He raised his hand to cover her eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled dryly twice: "Don't look at me like that."

Jiang Jie: "..."

After a long time, Jiang Gai couldn't hold it in anymore and broke the silence: "...Wen Shiqing, I have an urgent need to urinate."

Wen Shiqing suppressed the restlessness in his body and looked at his watch. It was past seven o'clock.With a deep "hmm", he lifted the quilt and sat up: "Get up."

Jiang Jie quickly got up and ran to the toilet.

Not long after, she opened the toilet door and poked her head out, asking, "Wen Shiqing, do you have any toothbrushes?"

Wen Shiqing went into the bathroom and found some unpacked ones and gave them to her. Jiang Gai took them and, with the residual warmth on her face not yet gone, she said carefully: "Thank you."

Wen Shiqing went to take a shower.

When he came out, he saw Jiang Jie standing in the kitchen in a daze.

He walked over: "What?"

Jiang Gai came back to her senses, raised her eyes and asked him: "What ingredients do you have at home? I'll make breakfast."

Wen Shiqing thought for a moment, then went to open the refrigerator and turned around: "Only eggs and ham."

"I'll go buy it." He closed the refrigerator and planned to go inside and get dressed.

Jiang Jie grabbed him and said, "Let's go out to eat. I didn't go back all night last night. After eating, I want to go back and change clothes."

Wen Shiqing paused: "Okay."

The two packed up and went out.Wen Shiqing took her to a long-established breakfast shop in Old Street.

Wen Shiqing: "What to eat?"

Jiang Jie wiped the edge of the table with paper: "Soy milk fried dough sticks, just keep an eye on the rest."

Wen Shiqing called her up, and ordered steamed buns and bean curd.

After the food was put on the table, Jiang Gai lowered his head and took a sip of the hot soy milk. His originally cold body suddenly felt a lot warmer.

"Are you going to work the night shift tonight?" she asked.

"Ah."

Jiang Gai frowned: "You went to bed so late last night and woke up so early in the morning. Will you be unable to hold on?"

Wen Shiqing took it for granted: "It's okay."

Hearing this, Jiang Gai buried his head and speeded up his eating. He bit into the fried dough sticks and said vaguely: "Eat quickly, go home and sleep quickly!"

He smiled: "No hurry, eat slowly."

Jiang Jie took a mouthful of soy milk and swallowed it: "I am also going to the hospital in the afternoon. The group notified me that the first session will start in the afternoon."

"Yeah." He took out a piece of paper and wiped the soy milk from the corner of her mouth, "Are you too tired?"

Jiang Gai shook his head: "No, no, I have senior brothers and sisters taking care of me, so I won't be tired."

His face was still calm, but his tone was very gentle: "If you are unhappy, tell me."

Jiang Gai was stunned for a moment. She didn't quite understand the meaning of his words at the moment, so she joked: "Usually I'm the only one who makes people unhappy, who else can make me unhappy?"

Wen Shiqing smiled, said "Yeah" and said nothing more.

Fang Yu spent the night at Shen Zizi's house last night and went directly from Shen Zizi's home to work at the police station early in the morning. He didn't know anything about Jiang Ai staying overnight.Although she didn't receive any calls or text messages from her uncle, Jiang Gai was still a little nervous when she returned to the apartment.

Looking around, the room was still the same as it was before she left yesterday afternoon, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

Although she took a shower at Wen Shiqing's house last night, she didn't wash her hair, so she simply washed it again and then went to bed to catch up on her sleep.

When it was past twelve o'clock at noon, Jiang Gai got up, thinking that Wen Shiqing should go to the hospital, got dressed and went out.

Before getting on the subway, she went to a Starbucks near the community to bring Wen Shiqing a cup of coffee. When she delivered it to the office, he happened to be away.

When Jiang Gai saw that it was almost the time agreed by the group, she put the coffee on and sent him a WeChat message before leaving.

-

Today is the first session of group activities. This session focuses on the familiarity and contact between the patients participating in the group activities.

Jiang Jie has read their information, and the average age is around 50 years old. They are all sick and need long-term hospitalization. They have sons and daughters, and some are married and then divorced.And what they all have in common is loneliness.

The activities are arranged in the hospital activity room.Before the event started, Jiang Gai and Liao Yuhan went out to prepare snacks and drinks, while the remaining three people stayed in the activity room to make arrangements.

Liao Yuhan is a sunny girl with a cheerful personality. She is slightly chubby and about the same height as Jiang Ji. She speaks very quickly: "These uncles and aunts today are very nice people. You will know when you get to know them later. No need to Too restrictive.”

Jiang Jie smiled: "Yeah, I know."

"Oh, and..." Liao Yuhan rolled his eyes and asked, "We have a small warm-up at the beginning of each session. We usually play small games. It's your first time to join the group, and it happens to be music. Sir, Jiajia and I just wanted to let you sing a song at the beginning to boost the atmosphere and get closer to the team members, what do you think?"

Jiang Jie had no objection and responded happily: "No problem at all!"

Liao Yuhan smiled even wider: "Haha, okay, okay!"

After buying the things, the two returned to the activity room, where all four team members participating in the activity were already there.

Seeing a new face, a middle-aged woman with a low ponytail and a hospital gown laughed first: "Hey, are you new?"

Jiang Ai glanced at the large patch of white hair on her forehead, then nodded politely and smiled: "Hello, my name is Jiang Ai. I'm new from the Social Work Department."

The middle-aged woman was very easy-going and responded, "Hello."

The other three older people just silently nodded at her as a greeting.

"Okay, let's sit in a circle and get to know each other first." Wang Jiajia, the group leader, was the first to speak.

So several people sat down on the seats that had been arranged.

Wang Jiajia smiled, pointed at Jiang Jie, and said, "This is Jiang Jie, our new friend. She just introduced herself. Let's applaud her."

After he finished speaking, You Zijian took the lead in applauding, and everyone else followed suit.

"Before the event starts, let's ask Jiang Jie to sing a song for us! To stir up the atmosphere." Wang Jiajia clapped her hands again, "Everyone applaud again to encourage us!"

The applause was fragmented and not loud, but everyone showed a look of anticipation.Jiang Jie stood up, smiled sweetly, bowed, and said, "Shall I sing "Visible Wings" for everyone?"

Everyone: "OK."

……

"I have read through this journey, joy and sorrow, right and wrong.

Seeing many changes with one pair of eyes...

……

I was scared, so I know it's inevitable to be depressed,

I was hurt, so I longed for the beautiful flight—”

……

The clear and clear singing voice filled this small activity room. The singing girl was like a pure and kind angel, waving her tangible wings and sending warmth to everyone's heart.

In the quiet corridor, nurses occasionally walked by. Wen Shiqing stood by the door of the activity room, looking at the girl singing through the small glass window, lowering her head and raising her lips in a smile, then turned and left.

Well, he was worried too much because he was afraid that she wouldn't adapt to it or something.

……

The singing ended under the amazement of everyone, and the applause rang out at the same time, much louder than the one just now.

Jiang Jie grinned, looked at their thumbs up, and bowed again: "Thank you everyone, you're making a fool of yourself!"

The short-haired aunt sitting opposite her smiled lightly and said in an extremely calm voice: "You sing really well."

Sitting down again, Wang Jiajia continued: "Thank you, Jiang Jie, for bringing such a beautiful singing voice. Then let's start with today's theme."

Then, everyone introduced themselves. After getting to know each other, Wang Jiajia asked them to start and tell their thoughts one by one.

The first person to speak was the middle-aged woman with a low ponytail. Her name is Ruan Hong. She is 46 years old and suffers from uterine fibroids and needs a hysterectomy.She has no children, combined with illness, her husband divorced her, and she is currently alone.

In the past, Ruan Hong was not a person who was afraid of being alone. She was outgoing, optimistic, and full of hope for life, but this sudden illness took away everything around her, and took away all her hope.She was resistant to hysterectomy.Her mother often shed tears because of this.The fear of being helpless often made her feel lonely.

Ruan Hong lowered her head, her eye circles were red, her smile had long since disappeared, and all that was left was the choking sound when she spoke: "Sometimes I think, just give up like this, just give up on treatment and all that. Anyway, I'm single. A person is always lonely no matter what. It is better to let the disease worsen and finally die alone..."

The atmosphere was very depressing. Jiang Gai's heart gradually sank when he saw the bitterness on the corner of her mouth.

The second person to speak was the short-haired aunt sitting opposite Jiang Ke, named Zheng Huanlan, a kind-looking woman, 55 years old, suffering from heart disease. This time, she was admitted to the hospital for the second time, waiting for surgery.She married young and her husband died of illness a few years ago.She has a 31-year-old son who is unemployed. With her small monthly pension, he hangs out at the gambling table all day long and owes a lot of debt.

His son was married, but his wife ran away with him because she couldn't stand him doing nothing.

Zheng Huanlan sighed again, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said in a tone of infinite regret and sadness: "I shouldn't be spoiled by him, now I need a lot of money to see a doctor, besides those pensions, where do I have any income, I don't know what to do. This unfilial son still comes to me all day long to ask for money, how can I have any money. People say to raise children to guard against old age, but now, I really wish I had never had such a son!"

Zheng Huanlan lost control of her emotions, and her last words screamed out in a tearful voice, which immediately made Jiang Gai's heart tremble.
