If you hadn't come to call me old

Chapter 14

Hospital
After waiting for almost an hour, the lights in the emergency room went out.

The doctor took off the mask and came out, and said to the man who had been waiting outside the door: "It's nothing serious. The patient has high blood pressure, a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain, some hypoxia, and some fever. After inhaling oxygen, the fever subsided, and there is no serious problem for the time being." I'm in the way."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, doctor."

The doctor smiled politely and left.The man stood there for a moment, then walked to a bench not far from the emergency room.

Wen Ran was sitting there.From a distance, she is motionless, but when you get closer, you will find that she is trembling uncontrollably.Ye Yizhen stared at her with lowered eyebrows for a moment, then finally reached out his hand and held her shoulder: "Wen Ran, Auntie is fine."

After finishing speaking, Wen Ran looked up and looked at him for a moment, as if he didn't hear clearly.

Ye Yizhen repeated what he said just now: "Auntie is fine, do you want to go and see her?"

Wen Ran seemed to have recovered, stood up hastily, and struggled out from under his hands: "I, I'll go and see."

"Okay." Ye Yizhen bent the corners of his mouth and watched her leave.

Her steps were still a little staggering, but if he followed to help her at this moment, I'm afraid it would make her even more flustered.Just stay here and wait for her.

Ye Yizhen sat down along the bench, and couldn't help but think of the scene he saw when he just arrived at Wen's house.The crying girl was holding an ax to forcefully pry open the door, the panic on her face was so obvious that he was startled when she saw it.

He coaxed her to take the ax in her hand, and pried open the door. Mrs. Wen, who was lying on the bed, was already a little delirious.Before he had time to think about it, he picked her up and drove her to the hospital quickly.

Now he can only sigh that luckily, if the car hadn't happened to drive past her house, it might have delayed even longer.He looked at her at that time, as if if he was one second late, she would collapse.

When he came back to his senses, Ye Yizhen saw Wen Ran walking towards him in a hurry.

"Why hasn't my mother woke up yet?" In desperation, she grabbed his sleeve.

Ye Yizhen answered her as softly as possible: "Too tired, fell asleep."

"But I see she still has a fever!"

"The medicine I just took will take a while to take effect." He patiently explained to her.

Wen Ran felt relieved, let go of his hand with an oh.Ye Yizhen's mind moved slightly, and he took her hand again.

"What are you doing?" Wen Ran looked at him warily, trying to pull out his hand, but he did so with force.

Ye Yizhen smiled slightly: "You have a cut on your hand, you need to put a Band-Aid on it." He really took out one.

He blew on her wound gently, just like his father did after she misbehaved and had a wound when she was a child.Then he took her wrist with one hand and tore off the Band-Aid with the other, covering her wound tightly.Her father told her that it wouldn't hurt after putting this on, but now that such a protective film was also pasted on, she couldn't help but feel sore in her nose.

Ye Yizhen noticed that her eye sockets were red, and suddenly panicked, "Did it hurt you?"

Wen Ran turned her head away and muttered, "Are you annoying?"

He was startled, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"I said you are annoying!" Wen Ran wiped her tears, as if she was really angry, she pushed him away and said loudly, "The person I hate the most in this world is you!"

Ye Yizhen just stood quietly opposite her, allowing her to vent her anger.

"Why did you disappear for four months when I only had one month of winter vacation?! Who allowed you to take the initiative to extend the vacation? Why did you provoke me but disappeared when I needed you most? Why did you do this to me? I still have to like you, and no one is willing to marry except you? Why should I make my mother sad because of you?" She complained one by one, "Grandpa is about to accept my mother, if I promise, promise to follow his path , he will accept mother, and mother will not be embarrassed! But why do I still think of you at this time! Why are you so annoying!"

In the end, she couldn't help crying.Like a child who lost his favorite toy, crying and heartbroken.

Ye Yizhen stood where he was, and was stunned for a long time before he recovered.He slowly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and hugged her.Even though she was struggling to keep him from hugging her, he didn't let go.

It was like going back to the last time, also in the hospital, her mother was lying on the hospital bed, and he was standing at the stairs, giving her a short but warm hug.This time, he wanted to comfort her in the same way.

"Wen Ran." Ye Yizhen said in a slightly sandy voice, "It's my fault."

"Woooo..."

He reached out and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, huh?"

"Woooo..."

"When my aunt is discharged from the hospital, let's meet sometime."

"Woooo..."

"I'll tell you everything."

Mrs. Wen was about to be discharged after two days in the hospital, and Wen Ran insisted that she observe for a while longer.

Mrs. Wen sneered: "I'm not really sick, I just have a fever. It's the smell of disinfectant in the hospital every day that makes me feel uncomfortable."

Unable to hold back his mother, Wen Ran went through the discharge procedures.

After her mother woke up, she asked who brought her to the hospital, but Wen Ran hesitated and said nothing.But Mrs. Wen got a general idea when she saw her appearance.

Smile it off, but don't ask.

During the two days since her mother was hospitalized, Ye Yizhen did not show up again. She only sent a text message, saying that the school suddenly sent a project and asked her to meet again after a while.

Best not to meet!
Wen Ran bit her lip, but refused to admit the intermittent sense of loss in her heart.

After her mother was discharged from the hospital, Wen Ran asked for leave to stay at home with her mother for a few days before going to work.

When she got home from get off work that night, Mrs. Wen told her that Lin Sheng had been calling her at home this afternoon, and that she couldn't get through on her cell phone.Wen Ran took out her mobile phone to look at it, only to realize that it was out of battery and shut down, so she quickly used her landline at home to return one for her.

As soon as the connection was made, Lin Sheng scolded her mercilessly. She knew she was in the wrong, and quickly apologized: "Okay, okay, Teacher Lin, I didn't mean it."

After coaxing a few times in a friendly voice, Lin Sheng snorted, expressing that he didn't care about her: "If you are really sincere, you can come to University B to see me tomorrow and apologize to me in person."

Wen Ran was speechless: "What a big deal."

"What's the big deal?" Lin Sheng raised his voice, "Tomorrow we will have a class reunion, what are you talking about? Our classmates are all here, have you forgotten? Hurry up."

After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone without leaving any room, and Wen Ran looked at the phone with a wry smile.

It wasn't that she forgot, nor was she unwilling to go, it was just that she didn't dare to go.It's like she always wanted to see him, but when she saw him, she didn't dare to go forward and ask why he disappeared for so long, she was afraid that the reason she heard would disappoint her.She was anticipating and nervous about what he was going to tell her.

The next day, Wen Ran still went to City B, and when he saw Lin Sheng, he scolded him again.

After graduation, Lin Sheng has been working as a teacher in the School of Management, and his current status is a teaching assistant.Wen Ran always said that when she walks, she looks vigorous and resolute, and be careful to become the second Miejue Shitai.

Lin Sheng clicked her tongue a few times: "My teacher is married now, and has raised a child, living a happy life."

The classmates gathered for a meal, and after the end, Lin Sheng took a step ahead of the college activities in the afternoon, leaving Wen Ran to wander around the campus alone.

After walking a few steps slowly, Wen Ran felt a burst of emotion. After only a few months away, she already felt that this place did not belong to her, and even her breath became out of place.Time and distance are always the most ruthless.

The College Building of the School of Management has always been the most glorious in the whole school. According to the students of B Dazhong, it is because the School of Management is rich.Wen Ran has been in this building for two years, and now when he steps in, he still remembers the scenes when he first entered school.

She let herself go forward, to the corner that was most deeply in her memory, and she was still a little uneasy.He shouldn't be here, right?She saw him in T City yesterday——

The footsteps stopped suddenly, it turned out that he was there.

Wen Ran didn't know whether he was happy or what.The door is still ajar, which he likes because it lets in air.

He was wearing a white shirt with unmovable cuffs and a pair of lavender cuff buttons. He bent slightly, talking to a classmate with a gentle expression.Before she had time to turn around and leave, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes met hers. For a moment, an expression of surprise, surprise, or joy flashed across his face.

Wen Ran turned around immediately, but heard him calling her in a deep voice, "Wen Ran."

"..."

"Let's talk."

This time the tone was not questioning, but unquestionable.

Jianghuai Hotel.

Standing in front of the door, looking at the signboard, Wen Ran felt a little dazed.When Ye Yizhen parked the car and walked towards her, she was shaking on the spot with her hands in her pockets.

Seeing him, he couldn't help asking angrily, "Why did you come here to eat?"

He groaned and walked forward, but there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.He knew what she was upset about, because he was taking her to remember deliberately, which was something she didn't want to do at the moment.

In fact, Wen Ran was annoyed in his heart at the moment that he always compromised so easily, just like just now.He dismissed the students, closed the pen, and asked casually, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." She replied, her tone was not good.

And he didn't care, just smiled: "Eat some more?"

She was a little annoyed: "I've eaten!"

And his hand brushed across his stomach inadvertently, and his tone was gentle: "then have something to eat with me."

The end result is - she compromised.

The waiter came up to order, he ordered a few dishes casually, then looked at her, raised his brow slightly: "Want a porridge?"

Wen Ran was about to stare again, but turned his gaze to a wine bottle on the table next to him, and said, "I want to drink."

Ye Yizhen frowned: "No way." He knew exactly how much she drank, and poured three glasses.

"Then I'll find a place where I can drink." Wen Ran picked up her bag and stood up, the next second her forearm was clasped tightly, and her sly eyes met his slightly helpless eyes.No way, now in her heart, he has become a heinous sinner, if he doesn't follow through, the consequences can be imagined...

He looked at the waiter, and was about to say something, but Wen Ran cut him off first, "No fruit wine!" After speaking, he looked at her triumphantly.He looked at it and finally couldn't help smiling.

Therefore, their table became the most special table.The man was eating slowly, while the girl opposite was drinking wine one after another, pouring down small cups, her face slowly turning red.

Finally, Ye Yizhen finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Wen Ran quietly.

Suddenly, she said, "We just had a breakup meal in this hotel." Turning the wine glass, there was a faint light point skipping over the wine surface, and she giggled like a child, "At that time, all the teachers All our teachers have come, Mr. Wu said, this is the tradition of B University, and a teacher must start from the beginning and end from the end."

Ye Yizhen was startled, never thought that the opening remarks would be like this.

"Mr. Wu also said that the most regrettable thing is that you are not included in the entire graduation photo."

Ye Yizhen slowly stretched out his hand, trying to hold her soft and weak hand, the touch in memory recovered quickly and disappeared very quickly, only to see that she suddenly pulled out her hand, sat up straight and asked him: "Say, during this time Where have you been?" The voice was so loud that everyone in the hotel could hear it, but he didn't seem to have heard it, only the slight sliding of his Adam's apple showed his violent mood swings at the moment.

When she was drunk, it hurt him more than when she was awake.

Because it meant getting drunk, Ye Yizhen gave up driving and called his assistant who happened to be in city B to come and drive.The assistant took a taxi and saw his boss sitting in the back seat with a girl in his arms, his eyes were about to pop out.She had just been with Ye Yizhen, and within a month, she naturally didn't know Wen Ran.

"Mr. Ye, what is this?"

Ye Yizhen slightly bent his lips, and replied helplessly, "It's my enemy."

The assistant grinned, and hurried into the car to drive.

In fact, Wen Ran is very quiet when she is drunk, as long as she is asked to lie down, she can slowly fall asleep.The assistant had tried his best to keep the speed of the car steady, so Wen Ran tugged at the button of Ye Yizhen's coat and slept peacefully.

enemy.

Ye Yizhen smiled slightly, remembering that in the hotel just now, she was drunk and muttered to herself on the table for a long time, while he was sitting opposite, listening with a calm expression.

"Did you know? I took the CPA exam some time before I graduated, and I passed it with great difficulty. When I was approaching graduation, I submitted a lot of resumes, but they all fell into disrepair."

"My mother said, if it doesn't work, she will raise me..." She suddenly laughed, "You say I'm almost 22, how can my mother raise me?"

He listened, and leaned over a little, trying to smooth her bangs, but unexpectedly she sat up straight, slapped her hot face with her hands, and said as she slapped, "I'm worthless, I'm really worthless... ..."

Ye Yizhen finally couldn't listen anymore, got up and picked her up from the seat.Wen Ran panicked for a while, and inadvertently grabbed his neck with both hands: "I'm not drunk!"

"I know." He said softly.

"I'm not drunk, you are not allowed to hug me."

When he received the protest, he just grabbed her fluttering hand and pressed it against her forehead: "I'm not hugging you, I'm taking you home."

Wen Ran felt as if she was in a dream, returning to the most carefree childhood when she had a mother and a father.One day, her father took her back to city B in the snow. She was among a group of strangers, and she heard her father say, "Ran Ran, this person is grandpa. And these two are your uncle and aunt. This little baby is Newborn little cousins. Say hello to them." Then suddenly, she came to another snowy day, but her father was no longer around, and her mother was replaced by her mother. outside the high walled compound.It was freezing cold, her nose was red, but she was coaxed by her mother: "Ran Ran, wait a minute, someone will come to open the door later."

When she fell asleep, she shed tears, not for anything else, just for missing, just for being sad.The life she has experienced is not long, but it has made her very tired; there are very few embraces that can be opened to her, but they have left one by one, making her at a loss.It is as if an innocent person has been sentenced to life in prison without redemption.

Suddenly, Wen Ran felt a burst of warmth, hot on his face, real but illusory.She didn't dare to open her eyes, she just grabbed the bed sheet tightly and remained motionless.

"Wen Ran." A voice called her, "I'm having a nightmare, sleep in a different position, huh?" Then a hand gently turned her head over, and she fell into a warm embrace like this, Warm and realistic.

In the darkness, Ye Yizhen rested his head on his hands and lay quietly on one side of the bed.protect her, don't let her fall
She didn't sleep well, he knew it.She had a nightmare and was still sobbing in a low voice. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he wiped her off gently with a hot towel.

In fact, she was angry. The first time I saw her eyes after I came back, I knew she was angry.She said cruel words to him in a panic, and he was willing to accommodate her and make her angry.When she calms down, he will tell her everything.

But it was as if she was making trouble on purpose, and every time the atmosphere was created, this girl would not cooperate, and he had nothing to do with her.Just have to wait patiently.

"It's finally here." He kissed her forehead, hugged her and fell asleep peacefully.

This time Wen Ran really slept long enough, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.She rubbed her tightly aching forehead and looked around wildly. After she finished looking around, an alarm bell sounded in her mind!
She was brought back by someone.

Glancing at the bedside, she saw a cup of warm water next to it. She picked it up, stared at it for a few seconds, and took a sip. It was boiled honey tea with a moderate temperature.

"Are you awake?" With a deep and hoarse voice, Wen Ran was startled, and almost threw the cup out of her hand. Fortunately, someone with quick eyesight and quick hands covered her palm, and a warm feeling came over her immediately.

His shallow breath fell to her ears, and her heartbeat accelerated almost at the same time.

"Well, the water is not hot, I'll go get you another cup."

"No need." She called out immediately.

Ye Yizhen paused, and then said: "That's fine, you wash up first, breakfast is ready, you can eat."

"No need." She lowered her head. After a night of drunkenness, the string stretched all over her body was broken, and she no longer had the strength to put up any airs to get angry, "I have to go to work tomorrow, and I have to go back to T City today. If you don't come back, my mother will be worried."

"Then I'll take it to you."

"No." She refused, opened the door, and was about to leave.

"Wen Ran." He called her in a low voice, and when she turned her head slightly, she could see him standing behind her, "Don't go."

He just pulled her like this, looking a little stubborn.Wen Ran looked at him, "I, why did I listen to you?"

Ye Yizhen looked back seriously: "You promised to talk to me, now is the best time."

Wen Ran almost ran away after hearing this: "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me?! Didn't you already say what you want to say? Don't you just don't want to tell me by this time?" He lost his strength, and leaned against the door, "You always treat me like a child, do you think I don't understand the world of adults? Yes, I didn't understand before, but I understand now, knowing that love is a lie , knowing what to believe and what not to believe.”

After hearing her vent, he actually smiled: "That's good, it means you've really grown up."

Wen Ran glared at him, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Okay, I'm not joking." He clasped her forearm and said seriously, "Are you sure you don't want to listen?"

After finishing speaking, he waited for a few seconds.As he expected, the figure in front of him was a little shaken.

"If you don't want to listen, you have to sit down, eat and wash before leaving. You will scare people when you go out like this." The hair is messy, and there are obvious dark circles under the eyes.

Finally, Wen Ran glared at him, retreated into the room, washed up, and sat down at the dining table.They finished their breakfast without incident, and then she put the spoon aside and put on a "you talk, I'll go" look.But someone was still eating slowly, even cleaning the bowl after eating.

"Wen Ran." Just as she was about to run away, Ye Yizhen suddenly called her to stop. "Remember when we last met?"

"I don't remember." She said stiffly.

In fact, I don't remember where. At that time, she had already packed her luggage and was waiting for him to pick it up.After waiting for a long time to get his call, he drove the car by himself and hurried all the way from city T back to city B.

Wen Ran couldn't laugh or cry: "If you're busy, I'll just go back by myself. It's only half an hour between cities."

He just smiled, put her luggage in the car and took her home.When leaving, he asked her for a kiss as a holiday favor, but she refused.

He was helpless but willing to indulge, leaving a happy new year and driving away.

"Happy New Year." Over there were the last words he said to him.But Wen Ran knew that since then, she was never happy, could not receive his calls, and could not find his people.

I went back to school and asked all the people in the academy, including Mr. Wu, but they didn't know where he went.

Until one day, she mustered up the courage to go to Jingshan and Yezhai.

Ye Yizhen had already expected such an answer, so he paused for a moment, then seriously wiped the bowl with a clean rag and said: "I have a friend who married a girl who is many years younger than him, and his life is not happy. Because of that The girl didn't love him, she married him, and just dragged him as a life-saving straw. She needed the protection of that man, but she didn't need his love. Later, the girl died of dystocia, my friend Still single."

"Does the man love her?" Wen Ran asked intuitively, but forgot to ask herself why she listened to this story.

"His feelings are very complicated, and I still don't know it. I just don't like you because the old man is afraid that I will follow his old path." He smiled wryly, "He never understood me."

Wen Ran understood, and smiled: "Because the old man doesn't like me, so you don't like me either?"

"Impossible." He said firmly.

It was precisely because it was impossible that the old man took decisive measures and put him in confinement on the first day he returned home.

"The old man is really ruthless." Thinking of all this, Ye Yizhen smiled helplessly.

Wen Ran was dumbfounded, a little unbelievable.

"Later, I negotiated with the old man."

"Is the result what we are now?" Wen Ran felt a little funny.

"No." He turned his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "The old man went to the hospital. I was so angry."

Wen Ran was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Then what is Ye Lao's attitude in the end?" She asked almost hopelessly.

"I didn't convince him." As soon as the words fell, he also wiped the bowl, "but that's not important anymore."

"Why isn't it important?"

"Because he won't object anymore." He smiled and gave the answer, Wen Ran was very confused by him.

"You didn't convince him, so why didn't he object again?"

"I didn't convince him." Ye Yizhen said, "There are other people who convinced him."

"Who?"

"you."

"Me?!" Wen Ran asked in disbelief.

He came over, took her hand pointing at his nose and held it: "during my absence, have you been to Jingshan once?"

She was startled, and turned her head away without answering.

And he just stared down at her seriously, waiting patiently for her answer.

In the end, her concentration was still not as good as his.

"I, I've been there once." She said, smiling bitterly, "I don't know if you're here, I just want to go and see..."

"What happened next?" He asked, holding her hand tightly.

"Later, I only saw your aunt, Mrs. Qi. She told me that neither you nor Mr. Ye were there." She asked Mrs. Qi where they had gone, and Mrs. Qi answered her in three words: I don't know.Perhaps it was then that she realized that something was wrong.It's just that she couldn't find anyone to ask.Mrs. Qi refused to say that neither my uncle nor his calls were answered, and she bumped her head like she had lost her way, looking at her posture as if she was about to crash into a plane and kill everyone before she could stop——

Fortunately, Lin Sheng stopped her.

At that time, she was graduating, and she sent out many resumes online at the beginning.There were responses one after another, and she also participated in some interviews one after another, but the conditions offered were not very good. She hesitated, and her work was delayed.After that, let alone.

Until Lin Sheng gave her an application form, a medium-sized company in T City was recruiting financial personnel, and the salary was quite good.She held it in her hand, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to return to T City to work.

"Decided?" Lin Sheng asked her again after sending her to the station.

Wen Ran nodded, looked at the bustling crowd, and murmured: "I want to do something."

That way you won't miss him too much.

When she regained her senses, she suddenly looked at him warily: "Why are you asking this?"

He smiled and said, "I just want to say that what you said that day is also what I want to say."

She froze for a moment, and thought of what she had said almost at the same time.

That day in Ye Zhai, she couldn't ask his whereabouts, so she got up to leave after looking at Mrs. Qi for a long time.

When she reached the gate, she suddenly held the door and turned around, shy and disappointed, and said to Mrs. Qi: "If you want news about him, please send me a message, just say that I am waiting for him. Also, I love him."

Thinking of these things, she suddenly felt very sad. This kind of sadness has an incubation period. Since then, the root of the disease has been planted. Today, she finally found an outlet to vent all her grievances. It was out of control.

"I don't love you anymore." She grabbed his clothes and said, "I hate you, I really hate you! I wait for your call, I wait for your call every day, and every day I stare at my phone in a daze. It's getting boring, you know?"

Ye Yizhen reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, letting her tears wet his shirt.Rubbing the top of her soft hair, she said in a hoarse voice, "Ran Ran, I'm sorry..."

He has opened the phone countless times and closed it countless times.

He was worried about his little girl, but she was the one who gave him all his confidence.

I wait for him, I love him.
