Uncle is handsome
Chapter 1
Chapter 1
In the afternoon of mid-August in Shanghai, the white sun brutally devastated everyone who walked on the road. The naked eye seemed to be able to see the heat wave waving in the air, licking people's skin and leaving burning pain.Although the Fatong on Julu Road is quite dense and the whole road is covered with shade trees, Ji Duo felt that he was going to faint from the heat after walking less than 500 meters, so he plunged into a nearby shop selling freshly squeezed juice small shop.
"Is there any reason, it costs 35 to squeeze two cucumbers?" Ji Duo angrily sent WeChat to his best friend Xiaoqiu while drinking cucumber juice.
Not long after the text was sent, Xiao Qiu called. Before Ji Duo answered the phone, he heard a wild laugh from the other side: "You deserve it, why do you want to drink cucumber juice? Don't say you want to drink cucumber juice from now on." What are you doing, a health-preserving girl!"
"Bah, I'm too young to do anything!" Ji Duo plugged in the earphones and used his free hands to touch up makeup in the mirror, "I was looking for a watch repair shop on Julu Road, but it was too hot outside, so I came in to use the air conditioner .”
"Repair the watch?"
"I borrowed my dad's pocket watch on a whim to study it, but I didn't know why and didn't leave. I have to find a place to fix it for him quickly, and I can't let him know."
After the sweat on his body disappeared and his makeup was reapplied, Ji Duo continued to look for watch repair shops while talking on the phone.There was only a vague address on the Internet, and she couldn't find it on the map, so she had to pay attention to the house number along the way, and felt that she couldn't see any signboard when she got close, Ji Duo muttered: "It should be around here..."
"Maybe there is no more. How can there be a private watch repair shop these days, and it's on Julu Road, can it make money?" Xiaoqiu said casually.
"I feel so too……"
Saying this, Ji Duo turned a corner and suddenly caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous small bungalow. There was a wooden board nailed to the edge of the balcony on the second floor, which read - Today Clock Studio.
"Ah, I seem to have found it." Ji Duo looked up, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and thought that no matter what he did these days, he called it a studio, "I'll hang up first, see you tonight."
In front of her is a very small European-style old bungalow, which is not conspicuous in the old bungalow area on Julu Road. There are thick plane trees on the left and right of it, and you may not see it if you don’t pay attention.But I have to say that this small house is very tasteful. The entire second floor is in the big triangle of the roof, and two small triangular balconies like ears protrude from both sides. Most of the outer walls are cream yellow in the southern French style. It is built with red bricks, and some of the red bricks are exposed at the bottom of the house.You need to go up a few steps to enter the door. The door is very narrow and small. It is an ordinary anti-theft door, but there are two arched French windows on the side, and each has double doors that can be opened.All the iron frames and the railings of the corridors outside are painted with dark green paint, which is very old from the degree of mottled.
Ji Duo has been in Shanghai for several years, and she knows very well how much the old bungalows on Julu Road are worth.She looked at the very careless wooden sign, and felt that this was not like doing business at all.
When she got to the door, she found that it was locked.She stretched out her hand to press the doorbell, and at the same time found that the door of the floor-to-ceiling windows was ajar.She walked over hesitantly, and pressed her head against the glass. The light was too strong. She raised her hand to cover her eyes and looked in. Sure enough, she saw many clocks.Ji Duo yelled "Is anyone there?" and opened the wrought iron glass door and walked into the house.
Although the sun outside was blinding people's eyes, the light suddenly dimmed a few degrees when they entered the room.This kind of house looks big on the outside, but the usable space inside is very small. In this living room, there is a huge desk on the right hand side, a small sofa and a low coffee table on the left hand side against the wall. These are the only pieces of furniture that I noticed, and the remaining fireplaces and the like should belong to the house itself, but at this moment, none of them can attract Ji Duo's attention.
Her attention was so absorbed by the dazzling array of clocks that she couldn't be distracted at all.She is a person who always skips the watch section when she visits home furnishing stores, so this is the first time she has seen so many clocks at the same time since she was a child.There are more than one vertical clocks taller than her in the corner. As long as the platform can be placed, there are all kinds of desk clocks, some are retro wooden cases, some are very modern, and there are all kinds of clocks with all the parts. A handicraft that is naked and only covered with a glass shell.And there are many old-fashioned wall clocks hanging randomly on the wall, and the pendulum swings neatly.There is even a whole row of pocket watches hanging above the fireplace.
Clocks and clocks, large and small, filled the room, emitting a harmonious and dreamy sound of needle movement. Being in them, no amount of restlessness can be calmed down, and the flow of time every minute and every second becomes extremely clear.Ji Duo wasn't thinking about anything, she tiptoed around the room, feeling like she accidentally broke into an empty playground.
"Is there a problem?"
However, at this moment, a male voice sounded from behind her.Because Ji Duo didn't hear the footsteps at all beforehand, Ji Duo was startled, screamed and turned her body, but her heels were unstable, she lost her balance and fell backwards. Fortunately, the man opposite reached out to grab her in time, and she staggered It took a big step and finally stood firm.
Ji Duo patted his chest and complained: "You scared me to death..."
"You came into my room by yourself, and you blame me for scaring you?" The man's voice was very low, and there was a taste of joke in his tone, but it was too light.He was holding a slender glass in his hand, and the green tea in it was in good condition, standing upright at the bottom.He walked back to the desk, put down the cup, raised his eyes and asked Ji Duo, "Are you really just here for a visit?"
"Oh, no!" Ji Duo was actually a little puzzled. She seemed to have slowed down her reaction after entering here. She tried to wake herself up, took out a pocket watch from her bag, and handed it to the man, "My dad's watch, I Take it for fun and leave, can you help me see if it can be repaired?"
The man took the watch in his hand and smiled slightly: "This watch must be 20 years old."
"Basically, it seems that my mother gave it to him. It was very precious at the time. If it can't be repaired, he will probably have to sever the relationship with me for another month." Although he said this, Ji Duo didn't look like it So anxious, she walked around the room with her hands behind her back, "Are all these watches yours?"
"Some are deposited by others."
The man replied, but he was thinking about the word "again" just now, secretly thinking it was funny.He looked up again at Ji Duo, who was looking at the clock on the wall with his back turned to him. In midsummer, her long hair was loose and she was wearing a bright red dress. She didn't look like a rebellious girl at all.
But...he thought of the first time they met, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and shook his head silently.
This thought did not hinder his action. He had sat down, put a loupe on his left eye, unfolded the tool bag, found the right tool deftly, and pried off the back cover of the watch.Obviously due to the aging caused by lack of maintenance, the whole winding plate is rusted, but it should be salvageable.There are many people who love watches nowadays, but too few know how to maintain them regularly, so he couldn't help but sighed softly.
At this time, Ji Duo had turned his head to look at the man who was lying in front of the desk with strange things on his eyes. I have to say that he has a very good temperament.It’s hard to tell his age, maybe he’s in his 20s or 30s. His facial features are tough, his nose is super high, his eye sockets are sunken, and the streamline of his chin is also very clear. The sun shines from the side Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the shadows of the eyelashes and the bridge of the nose on the face are very obvious, making the whole face as sharp as a knife.
He has long hair, I don't know whether it is curly or permed, and it hangs over the ears in a messy way. He is wearing a yellowed cotton and linen shirt with the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, and the trousers are also loose-fitting. People feel very lazy, but also has the temperament of a wandering poet.
Ji Duo has never had this type of person around her, but for some reason she felt familiar. She didn't think too much about it, and just asked a symbolic question: "Have we met before?"
Even though she asked like this, she didn't have the slightest clue in her mind.
"Probably...not." The man raised his head and took off the loupe, "Do you say that to everyone you meet?"
"Don't worry too much, I'm not trying to strike up a conversation. But I do say this often, and you may not believe it. I'm a mentally ill person, and I've lost a lot of memories. It's easy to have a sense of deja vu when I meet people and things."
Ji Duo propped her hands on the edge of the table, waiting for the man to laugh, but she didn't, on the contrary, she was very surprised: "Others would laugh when I said that, why didn't you respond?"
The man froze for a moment: "Excuse me, where is the joke?"
"I said I'm mentally ill!" Ji Duo leaned forward, "I mean it seriously. But every time I say it, everyone thinks I'm joking."
"I believe you mean it, so I don't think it's funny."
The man said lightly, his eyes were even cold, but Ji Duo felt a rare warmth in his heart, and something moved slightly deep in his heart.
"Then aren't you afraid? What if I lose my mind?"
When she asked, the man smiled instead: "I think even if you are sick now, I am sure that I can win. What's more, you look ruddy and shiny."
Ji Duo laughed, it's really pleasant to be with someone who can talk.
"Leave this here with me." The man waved the pocket watch in his hand towards her, "Leave me a phone number, and I'll call you to get it after it's repaired."
When it came to leaving a phone number, Ji Duo hesitated for a moment, it wasn't that she was afraid of leaving a phone number, it was because she had a lot of calls, and she couldn't answer some strange calls, so it was easy to miss them.
But the man obviously misunderstood the reason for her hesitation, and changed his words: "You don't have to stay if you don't want to, then let's take a look at it in a week or so, but it may be a waste of time."
Ji Duo waved his hand quickly: "I didn't mean that. I have a lot of messy calls due to work, and I'm worried that I won't be able to answer them. So, you leave your phone number to me, and I'll remember it."
The man didn't shirk, he took out a receipt from the drawer and wrote something on it, then wrote his name and phone number at the bottom, and then pushed it to Ji Duo.
"Wei Jin."
Signing his name and phone number in the lower right corner, Ji Duo laughed: "This surname is so rare."
"really."
Ji Duo didn't put the receipt back into the bag directly, but opened the phone calendar, made a memo of "taking the watch" on the date a week later, and marked Weijin's name and phone number at the same time.Although Weijin didn't take a peek on purpose, she still saw the dense memos on her mobile phone in a flash.
This made Wei Jin a little more interested. Young girls are rarely so planned.
"Busy at work?" He couldn't help asking.
"Prevent problems before they happen."
Ji Duo explained ambiguously, and put the receipt into the bag.Wei Jin didn't ask any more questions, sat down again and put back the back cover of the pocket watch, picked up a watch that was being repaired before and continued.But Ji Duo still stood at the table without moving, he didn't look up, and suddenly heard her ask: "Can I ask you another question?"
"Ask." Wei Jin looked up at her.
Ji Duo couldn't help sticking out his tongue: "Do you have a lot of business? Do you only make money by repairing watches?"
Wei Jin frowned slightly, he wasn't angry, he was just a little surprised that someone he didn't know very well would directly ask this question, but after thinking about it, maybe the current child has this personality.He shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway... it won't disappear tomorrow."
"Then why did you choose to do this?"
"This is the second question."
"Don't be so stingy!" Ji Duo bent down on the table with one hand resting on his chin, staring into Wei Jin's eyes, "Just pretend it's too hot outside, I want to use the air conditioner for a while."
Weijin had no choice but to put down the things in his hands, holding a water glass in both hands and said to her: "I like clocks and clocks. Clocks and watches are very interesting in terms of technology and meaning."
"But you have to admit that people's demand for watches is not as great as before. It is not a necessity."
"Maybe, you can use your mobile phone to check the time, it seems more convenient. But let's not talk about whether the time of the mobile phone is accurate, how long will you use a mobile phone? You change it in a year or two, and you can't use it in five or six years. , you won’t feel a pity when you lose it. But a good watch can last for decades or even longer. When you own a watch, you will feel the time more vividly. Clocks may really no longer be necessary. But the sense of ritual given to it by time has always existed, and it is the closest thing to eternity among the things invented by human beings."
The two of them have been looking at each other, almost at the same level, with half an arm's distance between them.When Weijin looked seriously at Ji Duo's eyes, she knew that she didn't listen at all. Her eyes with pink eye makeup were full of curiosity and confusion unique to children.Wei Jin suddenly laughed at himself, and leaned back on the chair: "To put it simply, I'm getting older and I miss the old days."
Ji Duo tilted her head and pillowed her hand, thinking for a long time, but still felt something was wrong.She pouted and said, "You are not nostalgic, on the contrary, you are the kind of person who likes to control the future."
It has to be said that at that moment Weijin subconsciously straightened his back and turned serious.
He didn't expect the girl in her early twenties in front of him to say such a thing, but just looking at the state of Ji Duo's speech, he couldn't tell whether she was thinking seriously, or just speaking casually out of instinct.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Me!" Ji Duo stood up straight and stretched, "What I care most about is today, the minute and second right now. I don't care about eternity, I just want this moment. Let's go, bye !"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out through the glass door through which she came in. Wei Jin didn't know why he stood up and followed her to the door, and stood in front of the French window with arms folded.There is a narrow corridor outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is connected to the steps at the gate. Ji Duo leans his back against the railing and leans his upper body back desperately. He raised his finger and pointed at it, and called to him briskly: "So, I like your signboard!"
Then she ran away quickly.
Wei Jin could only see a little bit of her back from inside the door, and she disappeared very quickly.Wei Jin also went out, stood at the same position and looked up for a while, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
Today's young people really believe in carpe diem!He walked back into the house and locked the door of the floor-to-ceiling window—but this girl is lucky to be so lively now, and it is understandable to want to enjoy herself in time.
After brewing a cup of tea again, Weijin sat back at the table, put on the loupe and began to repair the watch, took out a tiny part as thin as a hair with the smallest tweezers, and carefully placed it on a clean cloth aside.At this time, his thoughts would quickly calm down, and even his breathing seemed to become very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Only the clock in the house makes the sound of a heartbeat, and once you calm down, you can’t hear it at all. Weijin’s life is like this. It’s like staying in a crystal ball. You can’t feel the time passing at all, but you often find it when you look up. It was already dusk outside the house.
In the evening, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew the clouds and quickly covered the sun. The wind was wrapped in a damp smell, and it came from the other side of the sea.The typhoon that was raging in the distance finally began to shift its position, and some radios on the street began to broadcast typhoon warnings.However, after leaving Weijin's watch workshop, Ji Duo didn't go home immediately, but went straight to the old place - the bar opened by her best friend Xiaoqiu.
A small courtyard on Tibet South Road, inside is a bar, where skewers can be enjoyed.In the past few years in Shanghai, Ji Duo spent countless nights here.Xiaoqiu was her junior high school classmate, but she lost contact with her after graduating from junior high school. She never expected to meet her in Shanghai later.The two of them are not what they remembered each other, but they find that they hit each other very well. Xiaoqiu is the same kind of girl who doesn't care about her, she does whatever comes to her mind and bears the consequences herself.This bar was originally opened by Xiaoqiu and her boyfriend at the time. When the two broke up, the man wanted to use a little money to drive her out. At that time, Xiaoqiu went out of her way to borrow all the people around her, and bought the bar by herself. Come down, and find a new partner.There was a time when she was so poor that she ate one meal every two days, but fortunately, the hardship finally paid off, and the new partner became a new boyfriend, and he was still a foreigner.
"Honey, do you remember me?" Ji Duo was sitting at the bar drinking alcoholic beverages with no alcoholic strength, when a boy in his 20s came over suddenly, put his arms around her shoulders, and sat next to her, "Go up You said it last time, and meet the person who invited me to drink again."
Ji Duo shook his shoulders, smiled and threw his hand down, squinted his eyes and looked at his face for a long time, then shook his head: "Sorry, I don't remember."
The boy took her wine glass and drank it, shaking his eyebrows provocatively: "Don't be kidding, it's been a few days, we chatted all night, are you turning your face and denying anyone now?"
"You're right, I really don't recognize people." Ji Duo knocked on the bar and smiled at the bartender: "Give me a can of Coke."
The boy who struck up a conversation was a little anxious, his face turned pale, and he wanted to say something more. At this time, Xiao Qiu had already walked out of the room, and silently gave the person in charge of watching the scene a look, and the boy was persuaded to leave.
"What, you're in a bad mood?" Xiao Qiu sat next to Ji Duo with her flaming red lips.
"No, you know mine, I'm telling the truth, his face is not in my memory."
Xiaoqiu laughed twice: "The family looks quite upright, what else do you want?"
Ji Duo took the coke handed over by the bartender, poured it into a glass and sipped it through a straw. For the sake of health, she couldn't drink too much alcohol, so it was considered a miracle in the bar.She swung the wine glass lightly, keeping her gaze on it, thinking that others might regard it as red wine, and said casually, "Don't tell me, the watch repair uncle I met this afternoon is quite handsome."
"Uncle? How old are you?"
"Around thirty?"
"Then you can call him Uncle or Brother, okay?" Xiao Qiu put her shoulders on her shoulders and winked, "Tell me, what is it like? The handsome person you say is so handsome."
"It's hard to say. He's that... the type that we don't have around us, and he's not in the same world as us." Ji Duo took a small sip of Coca-Cola, the sweetness was frightening when the bubbles weakened a little, she frowned slightly, "There's something about him The temperament far away from the world makes people feel very unreal, very light and light, but very bright."
Her five fingers were kneading together, and then suddenly separated, making a blooming movement: "Like a star, do you understand?"
Xiao Qiu stared at Ji Duo's eyes, and nodded seriously: "I understand! I understand very much! You have taken a fancy to him!"
Ji Duo froze for a moment, then bumped Xiao Qiu with his shoulder: "Bah! Nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense? I should set up a mirror for you, so that you can see for yourself the look in your eyes just now. Stars? Your eyes are almost turning into stars!"
Really or not... Ji Duo lowered her head and laughed, she really said whatever came to her mind at that moment, that's how the man named Wei Jin gave her.Although it is not a world, it is quite rare to take pictures occasionally through the clouds for a while.
"What's the use even if I like it?" Ji Duo drank the wine in his glass, "Maybe I won't remember him suddenly in two days, if he changes his hairstyle and dresses up to meet me, I might not even recognize him Come out, don't hurt anyone."
Although she was joking, with words written all over her body that she didn't care or care, it was rare for Xiao Qiu not to smile, and lowered her voice and said, "Hasn't your illness stabilized? It's been a long time since you've had it."
"This thing is a bomb buried in the ground. Who knows when it will explode?"
Ji Duo shook his head, expressing that he didn't want to talk about it again.
They didn't mention the man anymore, the two girls chatted about business, housing prices, and new lipstick numbers, and suddenly there was chaos outside the door, and they vaguely heard someone shouting thunder.Ji Duo looked at the time, it was not too early, and jumped off the high stool: "I'm going back first, I have to talk to the manufacturer about something tomorrow."
"Okay, go back early, there may be heavy rain later. Can I find someone to drive you?"
"No need!" Ji Duo waved his hands exaggeratedly, "If I need others to take care of me all the time, I will really be hopeless. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ji Duo got into the car quickly, and after nestling in the back seat, sleepiness began to pull her eyelids, but there was still something to do when she got back, so she tried to open her eyes, trying to wake herself up.So she began to think wildly, looking at her blurred silhouette on the glass window, trying to recall some people and things.But she still can't remember what she should remember. She lost a large part of her memory, so that she felt unreal when she recalled more distant things. Her impressions are all wrong, her memory of people has become very poor, and she often can't remember the people she just met.If Ji Duo is forced to describe her feeling of being alive, she will feel that one of the world and her is not real. She sees the world as if separated by a layer of rain-wet glass, and she probably thinks that she is just in a crystal ball when viewed from the world. Spin the puppet bar.
Suddenly, Ji Duo thought of Wei Jin.There seemed to be something shaking in front of her eyes, but she couldn't catch it.Ji Duo took out the notepad from his bag, unplugged the pen stuck on it, and began to try to draw Weijin's face on the blank page.
After several attempts, she still couldn't draw it.Ji Duo suddenly scribbled on the whole page in a panic, until it was covered with chaotic lines and the page was punctured, then she threw the book back into the bag in frustration.
She can draw, but the only thing she can't draw is human faces. When she learned to draw, she skipped the basic part of portraits.The painting teacher couldn't understand this at all, and she still couldn't explain why she couldn't draw the model even though she was looking at it.
The first thing I do when I get home is to take a shower. After the shower is turned on, the bathroom is full of mist.Ji Duo rented a high-rise single apartment, the interior is very good, but the area is small, but it is enough for one person.At her age in Shanghai, it is more than enough to be able to afford such a decent house.After turning off the water, Ji Duo stood in front of the mirror covered with water vapor and wiped her hair with a towel. She deliberately did not wipe off the water on the mirror until she completely dried her hair with a hair dryer, combed it, and the mirror Her face was only vaguely reflected on the screen.
She pulled the mirror out, and behind it was a small cabinet with bottles and cans that were not usually used. She took out two bottles of medicine from the corner and poured out one piece each, and went out of the bathroom to find a glass of water to swallow the medicine.One is the vitamin that the doctor ordered to be supplemented at any time, and the other is a common nerve-soothing medicine. I don’t know if it is really useful, just for psychological comfort.
When Ji Duo was 17 years old, she had a serious accident. At that time, her head was seriously injured. Doctors think it is rare that she is still alive and kicking.But after the operation, there were continuous sequelae. The most obvious thing was that she lost her memory of almost three years including the car accident. When she woke up, she thought she hadn't graduated from junior high school.Although the doctor and parents explained the situation to her, she also believed it, but she still didn't feel it.During that time, her condition was very bad. As long as she relaxed a little, she would think that she was alive again, and she often couldn't figure out her life. Afterwards, she had various space and face recognition obstacles.
The doctor said she was a syndrome caused by traumatic brain injury, similar to amnesia syndrome.Whether it can be completely cured or not, the doctor is not sure. Brain and mental diseases are the most complicated, and there are too few reference cases.However, after a period of treatment, Ji Duo basically got better. In fact, she has not changed at all, but she is no longer surprised by those little chaos.She found that as long as she paid more attention, calculated more, and made more memos, she would have no problem coping with life.She tried really hard to be normal, and she did.
It’s just that seven years have passed since the operation, and she still feels headaches from time to time. I don’t know if it’s because she’s always nervous, so she’s unavoidably a little neurasthenic. After many checkups, there are no major problems. The doctor said that after all, she experienced With such a major operation, sensory sequelae are unavoidable.
Simply put, she should be content.
Laying on the bed and using the computer to deal with some work matters, by the way, for today's account, Ji Duo fell on the bed when it was nearly twelve o'clock, but the drowsiness disappeared completely.Although 24 years old is not particularly young, she is still the type who becomes more beautiful with time. The pouring rain outside the house has already started, and lightning can be seen lighting up the night through the curtains.
Ji Duo closed his eyes and tried to outline people's faces in the dark, only to find that only his parents had vague outlines, but he still couldn't remember the facial features.Strangely, when she tried to think of Wei Jin's face, she found that she could also think of a vague outline.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Wei Jin was really familiar, and that kind of familiarity was not the same as recognizing someone wrong, because Wei Jin didn't look like anyone, and she couldn't find the possibility of matching her seat, but she just felt that she had known each other.
Just like that, she fell asleep in a trance. When she didn't sleep well, she seemed to be awake even in her dreams. Ji Duo realized that she was flying, and her eyes shook like a candid camera. She felt that she was being captured by a huge wave The strength was thrown out, flew over the low guardrail on the road, fell in the middle of the road, and rolled several times before stopping.She was paralyzed on the ground in a big shape, with only piercing screams in her ears.Ji Duo realized that she dreamed about the car accident again.This is not the first time, in the past seven years, she has dreamed countless times of the scene of the accident happening in just a few minutes, but because she has completely forgotten it in reality, each dream is different.Even if she saw it from a third-person perspective in her dream, she couldn't guess what was going on in her head at that time.
Suddenly a man appeared in front of her, knelt down beside her with one leg, and gently touched her face.The camera rotated a little bit, Ji Duo seemed to have returned to the feeling of lying there, her eyes were covered with blood and tears, and she saw the person's face very vaguely.The man frowned slightly and watched her, his mouth kept moving, but she couldn't hear anything.
In the dream, Ji Duo knew her last thoughts before she lost consciousness as if she heard a voice-over. At that time, what she thought was that the man who was looking at her was so good-looking, and death was worth it.At that time, Ji Duo thought that she was going to die, and that man would be the last face she remembered during her lifetime.
That's... Weijin's face.
Hiss - Ji Duo took a deep breath, woke up from the dream, rolled over and sat up, grabbing the clothes around his heart and panting continuously.She stared, her pupils trembling in panic, she hoped she could calm down, but after waiting for a minute, she found that there was no way to do it, on the contrary, the fire in her heart made her very anxious, if she didn't do something What, as if it was about to be burned to ashes.
In the past seven years, she has returned to the moment of the car accident countless times in her dreams. No matter how unimaginable the plot, the appearance of this man is fixed.But that person has always been a vague shadow, and Ji Duo has no way of knowing whether this person really exists in reality, maybe this is another trick her brain uses to make up a Superman that appears at a critical moment.
But today she finally saw clearly - Ji Duo jumped out of bed, grabbed an umbrella and ran out the door - she should have recognized it, she should have realized it when she saw Wei Jin for the first time, Why is she so stupid?
At 20:[-] in the morning, it was still raining and thundering outside, and Ji Duo was standing at the door of the building. At this time, no one even took the taxi order.She walked out with an umbrella, and after walking for more than [-] minutes, she finally met a taxi that was willing to stop. Even with the umbrella, she was almost wet.
The taxi was parked outside the old bungalow during the day, and the surroundings were dark and silent, only the sound of rain.She handed the driver a big bill, and ran up the steps with her umbrella closed without waiting for change.At this time, the floor-to-ceiling windows were locked, and heavy curtains were hung inside. She stood at the gate and kept ringing the doorbell.
The clamminess and eagerness encouraged her to keep jumping, trembling slightly.
Weijin was actually woken up by the doorbell, he slept upstairs, the doorbell sounded a little far away.He opened his eyes but couldn't recover, it was the first time for him that someone came to the door in the middle of the night.His place is not a hospital, and no watch repairer or buyer would think that if he does not repair or buy it immediately, he will die, and there should be no drunks knocking on the wrong door in his location.But the doorbell kept ringing. He grabbed the nightgown on the back of the chair and put it on, went downstairs, and turned on the lights on the first floor when he walked to the door.
When Ji Duo first saw the light on, her mind went blank for an instant, she held her breath, and before she could recover, the door opened.
Wei Jin never expected it to be Ji Duo, so he couldn't react for a moment, but frowned.The rain outside was heavier than he had imagined, and the water dripped down from the extremely narrow eaves like a waterfall, like a water curtain hole.And Ji Duo stood at the door, half of his body was drenched by the rain.He saw that she was wearing thin home clothes, a short T-shirt and shorts, and she was actually wearing flip flops on her feet. She was covered in water from head to toe, and with the occasional huge lightning behind her, the situation was really a bit strange. Like the scene in Liaozhai.
And Ji Duo looked at Weijin's face against the light. Compared with the afternoon, he had a little more stubble and messy hair, but his frowning and hesitation brought a clearer sense of familiarity.A silver lightning flashed behind her, illuminating Weijin's face. In the blink of an eye, the blood and tears from seven years ago were washed away, and the face she never forgot became more and more clear, and it merged with the person in front of her. For oneness.
"Do you remember me?" She wanted to laugh, but her eyes were bloodshot.
"I saw you in the afternoon, of course I remember." Wei Jin turned sideways, "Come in first."
Ji Duo took a step forward, and before Weijin closed the door, she hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean this time! I mean we met earlier, do you remember?"
There are two layers of lights in the room, one is a warm yellow light, which is turned on when resting at night, and the other is a very bright white light, which is used when working. Weijin just turned on the yellow switch.In such an atmosphere, Ji Duo's eyes shone with a shocking light, and the pupils with a layer of water looked like brown colored glaze.
He probably understood why Ji Duo came, but at this time of the day, he was a little too impulsive - Wei Jin sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Stand here and wait." After closing the door, Wei Jin asked Ji Duo to stand where he was, and then he turned and went upstairs.
The surroundings became quiet, and Ji Duo stared intently at the watches all over the room. Instead of being hypnotized, his reason gradually woke up.She looked down at the raindrops she had dripped on the wooden floor, and secretly gritted her teeth.After a while, Weijin came down again and handed her two folded clothes: "My clothes are brand new and never worn. They will definitely be a little too big for you, so let's make do with them. Go take a shower and change out the wet clothes. Let's talk again."
Ji Duo took the clothes, holding them with both hands like a salesman. The pure cotton feels like a faint woody fragrance.Her head suddenly became empty, and she still stood still, biting her lip and looking at Wei Jin.
Wei Jin really couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but he was a little hairy after being stared at, so he raised his hand and patted her wet shoulder: "Go quickly."
"Oh..." She went upstairs in panic.
The ceiling upstairs is very low, there are two rooms and one bathroom, Ji Duo walks through Wei Jin's bedroom, and sees that the quilt is still in a hurry to open.She was suddenly flustered, and plunged into the bathroom. After closing the door, she knelt down and held her face in her hands and couldn't help screaming.
She is too crazy!She must have been sleepy, so she ran to a man's house in the middle of the night!
"Ahhh...going crazy..." She fiddled with her hair vigorously, and her face started to have a fever belatedly.
Wei Jin, who was mopping the floor downstairs, vaguely heard the movement upstairs, he stopped what he was doing, leaned on the stairs and called up: "Is there something wrong?"
"No, it's fine!"
Ji Duo quickly replied, and hurriedly turned on the shower, spraying cold water all over her body, and she gave a huge shudder.
She slowly adjusted the water temperature, stood under the shower with her clothes on, and couldn't help smiling.
When Ji Duo took a shower and changed clothes, it was nearly 05:30, and the sky was already a little bright, but fortunately, it was cloudy, and the curtains were thick enough, which still gave her the illusion that it was still late at night .
The waist of the trousers was too loose, and she could only tie a piece with a rubber band. The sleeves and trousers were very long, giving the feeling of a child wearing adult clothes.I don't know why, when she went downstairs, she unconsciously became tiptoe, and she didn't have the momentum when she came to kill her.
"Sit down." Weijin brought out a cup of black tea from the kitchen, asked her to sit on the sofa, and handed it to her, "Drink some black tea to keep the cold away. It rains in the middle of the night, and I don't want to pay for your medical expenses."
Speaking of which, Weijin took a wooden bench from the fireplace and sat diagonally across from Ji Duo. His legs were very long, and there was no place to sit on such a low stool.
"A little rain in summer is nothing." Ji Duo looked at the cup in his hand. To be precise, it was a bowl. At first glance, it was hand-fired and made of rough pottery. "The bowl is beautiful, where did you buy it?"
"I burned it myself."
Ji Duo stared.But Wei Jin ignored her surprise, and said slowly, "So? Why did you come knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
Really asking this question, Ji Duo didn't know how to answer. She pretended to drink tea, but she was thinking about how to say it, but she couldn't help frowning after taking a sip. Sure enough, she still didn't appreciate tea. thing.
She spread her palms towards Weijin and asked, "Is there any sugar?"
Weijin can't laugh or cry, Yunnan black tea is not considered bitter, the first brew is the most elegant, with a bit of sweetness, but she still wants sugar.
"Now it's dawn to be precise. If you eat sugar early in the morning, you won't be afraid of gaining weight." Having said that, he still got up to get a cube of sugar and put it into Ji Duo's cup.Seeing Ji Duo's contented smile, Wei Jin's heart softened, and he was about to say the phrase "what a child" on his lips.
"I, I had a nightmare." Ji Duo hugged his knees and curled up on the sofa, subconsciously biting the rim of his cup, "and then woke up suddenly. Didn't I say that you looked familiar during the day, I remembered it in my dream I don't think so, I must come and ask, did you recognize me a long time ago?"
"I did recognize it during the day." Wei Jin replied without any concealment.
"Then why didn't you say it when I asked you?"
Wei Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a little puzzled look, and asked her back: "Why do I have to say it? We don't know each other, right? At that time, I wasn't even sure if you were conscious or not and if you saw me It's over. We just met once, and it's that kind of situation. After so many years, since you don't remember it, what reason do I have to bring it up?"
Ji Duo shook his head sharply, put the cup on the small cabinet beside him, pressed his hands on the edge of the sofa, leaned forward, and seriously argued: "It's not that I don't remember! I dreamed many times! But my There's something wrong with my head, I'm not even sure if it's real, all I have is a very vague outline, a feeling... But I always remember, really-"
"Okay, okay, I believe in you, don't get excited."
Feeling aggrieved in her tone as she spoke, Wei Jin was afraid that she would cry in a while, and just wanted to comfort her first.For Weijin, being approached by a girl in the middle of the night is already an unimaginable big trouble, and he doesn't want to make the girl cry anymore.
He stroked one eyebrow, trying to think of words: "I hope you understand one thing, I did get out of the car to see you at the time, but it was because you fell right in front of my car, maybe I braked five times late Seconds, you're dead in my hands. I did hit 120, but there must have been others around. I'm not a saint, I don't feel like I've done anything good, and I don't care that much about you in my heart, so you There is no need to think about anything! Of course, after I recognized you yesterday afternoon, I was very happy to see that you are living so well now. "
He thought he had made it clear enough, and he didn't want Ji Duo to take him as a lifesaver.This kind of idea is very silly, and it's not the old society now, and we want to engage in the kind of sex promise, but from Ji Duo's behavior of running over in the rain in the middle of the night, Wei Jin can see that she is worried about her. At the beginning, he took his unintentional actions too seriously, and he didn't want to leave such a big psychological burden on a young girl.
But Ji Duo's understanding is always biased, she stared straight at Wei Jin's face, and muttered, "How do you see that I'm doing well? Am I more beautiful than I was seven years ago?"
Wei Jin couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and shook his head, and said helplessly: "If thinking like this makes you happy, I have no objection."
"You're older than that."
"Of course, I'm past the age where I can insist that I'm forever." Although Wei Jin said so, there was no trace of sadness on Wei Jin's face, "But every age has its benefits, there is no need to be afraid of changing. old."
Ji Duo put his legs down, stepped on the ground, and his upper body was almost lying on his legs, just to get closer to Wei Jin.She wriggled her lips, and it took her a long time to ask: "Then are you afraid of death?"
Wei Jin froze for a moment, he looked straight into Ji Duo's eyes, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, this was not the first time he felt the presence of an old soul on Ji Duo's body.She obviously has a pair of eyes that can see the bottom at a glance, and her demeanor is still childish, but there is a shadow sticking behind her, covering it from time to time.
Perhaps this is the shadow of post-traumatic bar.He thought for a while and replied, "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die."
"Then you are better than me. I am so afraid of death that I am ready to die at any time. Do you want to know what you mean to me?"
She leaned forward suddenly and grabbed Wei Jin's hand that was resting on her lap.Weijin broke free subconsciously, but her hands were cold, but she exerted great force.Wei Jin could only let her lead him, and slowly stretched towards her face, and stuck it a little behind her ear.
It has to be said that at that moment, Wei Jin's heartbeat was a little messed up.
"Touch, the scar in the hair is scary." Hearing Ji Duo's words, Wei Jin tried to touch her hair with bent fingers, and soon felt a clear scar, and he wrinkled slightly Eyebrows, "There are both horizontal and vertical, very long, I can only wear my hair like this, even if I braid it, it will be exposed. But I don't complain, the accident was caused by myself, I was rebellious, I admit it. I told my parents that the operation was very difficult. Even if I survived, it would be difficult to return to the past. I might become demented, paralyzed, or become a vegetable...but I got better. I was sure that I could speak , can move, the doctors call me a 'little miracle'."
Speaking of this, Ji Duo twitched the corner of his mouth, but his eye circles suddenly turned red.She kept grabbing Wei Jin's hand and didn't let go. Wei Jin was too focused on listening to her, and forgot to pull it back in time.
"But after I came back to life, I felt that the whole world had changed. I lost a lot of memories. I don't know how I became like this. The people I thought were friends have alienated me, and I don't know them. People say that I like him. I often fall on the ground, remember the wrong date, recognize the wrong person... I am characterized as a mental disorder. But life still has to live, I don’t want to see my parents cry secretly in the middle of the night, I work very hard to recover my life I use facts to prove to everyone that I am fine and I can live alone. But I am actually very scared. I am afraid of meeting strangers. I am afraid of making mistakes. When people stare at me, I will wonder if I'm confused again...Although I live among the crowd and laugh and laugh every day, I never forgot that I'm different from others, my heart—"
She pointed her other finger to her heart, and finally couldn't help letting out a huge choked sob, and a big tear rolled out of her eyes: "Every moment, I am saying goodbye to this world. I have never really integrated into It, it has never really accepted me. Sometimes when I have insomnia, I can't help but wonder if I was dead at that time, and what is alive now is another me. And you in the dream are my part The fruit of life is only left, but I don’t know if you really exist! So when I think about it, it’s really you...I suddenly feel that I can still be saved, I feel that the old me is still alive...I can’t control it, I Must come to see you right away! I..."
She burst into tears, with layers of tear stains covering her face, shining a different kind of moving luster under the lamp.Until my throat was blocked by tears, I couldn't speak anymore.Ji Duo didn't care at all that she had an obvious snot bubble. She sniffed and wiped her face with the back of her hand.
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..." Wei Jin moved the hand next to her face, and used his thumb to wipe her tears. At the same time, he stood up, bent down and took out a tissue from the side, and walked away. Going in front of her, put tissues under her eyes with both hands, and said softly, "Don't cry."
The more she heard what he said, the more Ji Duo couldn't stop, she suddenly stretched her arms around Wei Jin's waist, and pressed her face against it.
Weijin froze immediately, maintaining a half-bent posture, not daring to move, unable to put down the tissue with both hands.
But Ji Duo obviously didn't take it seriously, she rubbed her face like a pancake on Weijin's nightgown from side to side.Although she was still sobbing and crying, Wei Jin knew that she would be able to recover soon after she vomited quickly.
"Okay." He raised his palm to cover the back of her head and rubbed it slowly, "You can survive such a dangerous operation, you can work hard to make yourself so beautiful and lively, you are already strong enough. "
Ji Duo, who was about to stop her tears, burst into tears again after hearing his words. She tightened her arms, buried her face deeply, and shouted angrily, "Why are you so annoying..."
Wei Jin looked down at the top of her hair, smiled wryly and shook his head.But there was no smile in his eyes, only a silent moon, Ji Duo's tears gathered in his heart into a crooked stream, bright and clear under the moonlight, beautiful but lonely.
He finally bent down completely and hugged her very lightly.
The sky lighted up completely behind them. After Ji Duo calmed down, the first thing he did was to blow his nose, and the second thing was to touch his stomach, and said to Wei Jin with his swollen eyes: "I hungry."
Weijin opened the curtains, the rain outside did not know when it stopped, but there was water everywhere, the wind was still chilly, the weather yesterday and today were two seasons.
Life is the same as the weather. Yesterday he didn't expect that he would keep a girl overnight, and now he has to take care of her breakfast. He sighed and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm..." Ji Duo thought for a moment, then poked his finger suddenly, like a light bulb popping out, "Little wonton! Let me see if there is any takeaway..."
She was about to take out her mobile phone, Weijin said to her: "Don't order it, the outside is not clean and not tasty. I'll go upstairs to clean it up, and you can go to the third floor of the refrigerator freezer in the kitchen."
After he finished speaking, he went upstairs. Ji Duo didn't know why, so he ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, and found that Weijin's refrigerator really contained everything, including vegetables, fruits, and fish, all neatly arranged in layers, columns, left and right Arranged in order.
"Uncle, are you obsessive-compulsive disorder..." She said to herself.
When Ji Duo opened the third floor of the freezer, he was surprised to find several rows of wrapped wontons on the left half.She randomly found two bowls in the kitchen, squatted there and squeezed out wontons one by one. Her hands were numb from the cold, but her heart was warm.
This uncle is not only obsessive-compulsive, but also a control freak, Ji Duo thought with a smirk.
She dug out the pot in the cabinet, put water in it, and when Wei Jin finished washing and changed her clothes, the wontons were already cooked.He raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, I thought you definitely can't cook."
"It's not very good, but it's still okay to cook it." As he said so, Ji Duo gave up his seat decisively.
"Go wash up, I found you a new toothbrush and new towels, and put them on the sink."
As Weijin spoke, he turned on the exhaust fan of the range hood, and skillfully started beating eggs.
Ji Duo walked to the door of the kitchen, grabbed the door frame and turned around on a sudden whim, and asked behind his back, "I won't cause trouble for you, will I?"
"You have indeed caused me a lot of trouble." Wei Jin glanced at her sideways.
"That's not what I mean, I mean... Are you married? Do you have a regular female companion or something?"
"Personal privacy, no answer."
Ji Duo bounced up and down the stairs, put his hands on top of his head, stretched his waist, and shouted in a long voice: "That's right!"
After the eggs and chicken essence were poured in, the aroma came out. Weijin lowered his head and stirred the pot with a spoon. The hot air hit his face, blurring the smile at the corner of his mouth.
When Ji Duo came down after washing his face and brushing his teeth, except for the swelling in his eyes, his whole body was completely unrecognizable that he was crying an hour ago.Wei Jin didn't know whether it was the knot in her heart that had been untied, or whether she just had the temperament to say that the wind is the rain.
But the five-six-minute hug just now is like a dream when I think about it now.
In addition to a lot of snot and saliva on the clothes, it can actually be regarded as an interesting dream.
"Did you wash my clothes?" There was a small dining table in the kitchen, and Ji Duo sat down and blew on the hot soup in the bowl. She just went up to change clothes, but found that the clothes were spinning in the washing machine, "Then How am I going to go?"
Weijin pushed sliced bread and two bottles of jams with different flavors to her, and said naturally: "They are all damp, and you can't wear them. You can take them back to dry after washing them. You should go to school later work?"
"I made an appointment with someone to talk about things, but it's still early. I'm the boss!"
Ji Duo raised a face expecting to appreciate, but Wei Jin didn't press the question, just said: "Then I'll drive you back after eating."
"Okay!"
The loss only lasted for a fifth of a second, and Ji Duo immediately smiled like a flower.
The two sat facing each other, eating in the dim light of the early morning. The kitchen was small, the furniture was retro in color, and there were some European-style patterns. Although it was square, it gave people the illusion of a circle.Ji Duo took a bite of the wonton, which contained real shrimps. She patted the table and called, "Uncle—can I call you uncle?"
Wei Jin laughed and asked her seriously: "How old are you?"
"24 is old."
"Then I'm 12 years older than you. What do you think should be called?"
Ji Duo counted with her fingers: "12 years old...then you are 36 years old." She held her chin and nodded seriously, "So this is what a 36-year-old man looks like. I've decided, I'll call you from now on Uncle!"
Obviously thought so from the beginning.Thinking to himself, Wei Jin knocked on the side of the bowl: "Eat quickly."
"Uncle, I recalled it, it seems that no one has had breakfast with me for a long time."
After being reminded by her like this, Wei Jin also became dazed, and he hadn't had breakfast with anyone for a long time.How long has it been?Seems longer than ten years.
He suddenly raised his eyelids and stared at Ji Duo who was rubbing jam across his face, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart.But Ji Duo immediately added: "But it seems like I haven't had breakfast for a long time."
Wei Jin lowered his head again and secretly smiled.Laugh at yourself, what comfort do you find in a little girl.He didn't care about it long ago, and he didn't need the comfort that companionship could bring.
"Uncle, can I come here often to play with you in the future?"
"better not."
Ji Duo pouted: "Then can I come and eat? I'll pay for the meal."
"Better not to."
"Why don't you be so stingy!" After drinking the soup in the bowl in one go, Ji Duo angrily put the bowl on the table, "Isn't it just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks!"
"Because..." Weijin had a headache, and subconsciously stroked his eyebrows, "I don't think you'll be so obedient, you only come here at mealtime."
Silenced, Ji Duo rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at Wei Jin.
After dinner, Weijin drove Ji Duo home.Ji Duo went out wearing men's home clothes. Fortunately, there were not many passers-by in the parking place, so she got into the co-pilot like a thief, and immediately closed the door. The 10,000+ car is not considered luxurious, but the interior is quite bluffing. Ji Duo looked around and said, "I didn't expect you to save some money just by repairing watches."
"As you get older, you will always have some money." Wei Jin said as he wanted to start the car, and when he tilted his head, he saw that Ji Duo was not wearing a seat belt. He sighed, stood up reluctantly, leaned over, and grabbed the seat belt. seat belt.The suddenly shortened distance speeded up Ji Duo's heartbeat inexplicably, she only felt a shadow and temperature drifting over, occupying all her sight, she didn't know where to put her eyes, she glanced at Wei Jin's collarbone hastily, He quickly lowered his head, and the roots of his ears began to heat up.
Weijin put her seat belt in, started the car, looked at the side mirror and said, "I've been in a car accident and didn't pay attention to safety."
"Oh……"
She glanced at Wei Jin angrily, and said to herself, can't you keep my girlish heart for a while longer?
The car drove all the way to the downstairs of Ji Duo's residence, during which Weijin drove quietly, without meeting her eyes at all.So Ji Duo didn't hide anything, whether he was answering the phone or sending messages, he always stared at Wei Jin.
In fact, Weijin is not indifferent, there is always a line of sight from the side, which cannot be ignored at all.But the more so, the more he couldn't turn his head to look, because as long as he turned his head, he would definitely bump into it.
He knew what kind of creature the little girl was, impulsive, fanciful, ready to catch fire, and he didn't want to fuel this unrealistic flame.
"Go up." Taking the bag containing Ji Duo's clothes from the back of the car seat and stuffing it into her arms, Wei Jin couldn't help telling, "Go back and hang it up immediately to smooth out the wrinkles."
"understood."
Ji Duo opened the door slowly, turned her head again, looked at Wei Jin reluctantly, but didn't think about what to say.So he got out of the car like this, but his hand kept holding on to the door, unwilling to close it.She stood outside the door, bent over to face the inside, and said to Wei Jin hesitantly: "Well... what I said at night..."
"Did you drink too much, and said a lot of messy things, I don't even remember." Wei Jin answered her first.
"Uncle is the best!"
She jumped back a small step happily and closed the car door.She hugged her clothes and watched Wei Jin's car drive away, knowing that he might not see it, but she kept smiling and waving.
She hated parting very much.If she suffers from this kind of illness, it is very likely that she will forget what happened, or even what is happening now.When the university was about to graduate, Ji Duo was confused once, her date was misplaced for three days, she had no idea where those three days went, and all the people and things in those three days were wiped clean.So Ji Duo will not be happy because of the acquaintance, because the boundary between acquaintance and parting has become too blurred.It can be said that the acquaintance becomes insignificant, then the parting is always in progress.So Ji Duo is tired of all the solemn farewell scenes, and he doesn't even want to see that kind of scenes in TV dramas.But this time, she watched Weijin's car leave and watched the chaotic night fade away, but she didn't feel any frustration or helplessness. After a long time, the ship finally docked.
"Dodo! I'm coming!"
Just as Ji Duo was jumping up and down the stairs, a figure behind the door suddenly rushed towards her.She knew who it was just by hearing the voice, rolled her huge eyes, and sprinted for two steps, making Lu Haiyang's gesture of hugging her shoulders in vain.
"Duoduo! I've come all the way, don't treat me like this!" Lu Haiyang, carrying a huge mountaineering bag, chased Ji Duo to the elevator entrance, and said quickly, "By the way, what are you doing?" Dressed like this, are these men's clothes? Whose car is that that brought you back just now? Talk to me!"
After entering the door, Ji Duo immediately went to dry the clothes, ignoring the chattering Lu Haiyang behind him.There is no way, and she doesn't want to treat an old classmate like this, but she knows that Lu Haiyang will shine brightly if he is given a little sunshine, and if he smiles, he will think that he can get married tomorrow.
"Duoduo, look, I've dyed my hair like this." Lu Haiyang said flamboyantly, grabbing his grandma's gray hair that was covered with hairspray.
"You are too dark for this color."
Ji Duo glanced at him, and shook his head unbearably, it's called fashion on people's heads that are translucently white and has a pointed chin, and it's called young white heads on people with dark faces like Lu Haiyang.
"Why did you run away again?"
Ever since Ji Duo decided to live in Shanghai, Lu Haiyang has been coming here almost once a month, nicknamed Cha Gang, and of course Ji Duo would reply to him every now and then: Get out.
However, this time Lu Haiyang lay down on her beanbag sofa, patted on her backpack, and said, "I found a job in Shanghai, so I won't leave this time!"
Ji Duo petrified instantly with his mouth open, and his face turned pale in a flash.
Seemingly satisfied with her reaction, Lu Haiyang crossed his legs provocatively.
But Lu Haiyang didn't know that at the moment when he had a premonition that big trouble was coming, what appeared in Ji Duo's mind was Wei Jin's face, so clear that it made her feel like a dream.
"It's my boyfriend who sent me back just now." She said calmly to Lu Haiyang, "The clothes on me belong to him too. I stayed at his place last night."
This time it was Lu Haiyang's turn to change his face, he immediately became irritable, stood up angrily, stared at Ji Duo, and his backpack fell to the ground with a bang.
Ji Duo raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.It stands to reason that she is very familiar with him, but at this moment she still feels only strange.
Lu Haiyang was her first love.It was also the culprit of the car accident that nearly killed her and completely changed her life.
If you have to define the relationship between Ji Duo and Lu Haiyang, it is definitely not love.At that special age, Lu Haiyang was a tool for her to express her rebellious attitude towards life.Although Ji Duo still doesn't understand what love is like, at least she knows that she won't like someone like Lu Haiyang.
Ji Duo was born in a very stable family. His parents are both intellectuals and they both have good jobs. The financial conditions are not as good as above, but more than enough.As if God didn't want to see them go so well, Ji Duo, who was born rebellious, was born, and she became the biggest trouble in the family.
The expectations placed on her by her parents are infinite, and they take the trouble to send her to develop hobbies, but whether it is painting, musical instruments, dancing... She has no interest in all of them, and she will be dismissed by the teacher within three classes.She was undeniably shrewd, and knew exactly what to do to drive teachers to their knees and parents to give up hope.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a specialty. After entering elementary school, her parents have been staring at Ji Duo's homework non-stop, but her academic performance has always been average, and she has always been in the middle of the grade ranking. She seems to be very satisfied with this, completely Don't want to try harder.This caused her parents a lot of headaches. If she really lacks ability, there is nothing to say, but Ji Duo is unwilling to use all her strength. She only spends about 50.00% of her energy on studying, and the remaining 50.00% is used by her. Get into trouble.
She has been a very assertive child since she was a child, and she never discusses with anyone what she decides.When I was in elementary school, I bought a game console with the money that should be handed over to the teacher for a spring outing, and went to class every day as usual, without showing any guilt.On the day of the spring outing, she happily packed her schoolbag. When her parents left the school, she wandered outside for a whole day, and then returned to the school gate at night, pretending to come back with everyone.This matter has been kept a secret for more than a year, until her mother chatted with other parents at a parents' meeting and found out by chance.At that time, Ji Duo's parents thought with great fear, it's over, this child can't control it anymore.
Sure enough, when Ji Duo arrived in junior high school, he felt that he had grown up and behaved more unscrupulously.She has a clear mind and will keep her grades in the middle so the teacher doesn't pick on her.However, at that time, Ji Duo's spare time life was extremely rich. She went shopping with girls and played games with boys.
Appearance is already a girl, but the mind is still a child's age, Ji Duo began to follow the trend to wear clothes with large necklines and skirts above the knee, began to buy cheap cosmetics, and put on makeup that is not as beautiful as a plain face.In those few years, Ji Duo's parents were in shock every day, and it was completely impossible to predict what would happen to her when she came back today. She might have dyed her hair suddenly, or had her ears pierced again.There have been quarrels and quarrels countless times, but children in the rebellious period have their own outlook on life, and they can't expect to understand each other at all.Ji Duo's teacher commented on her: smart, lively and cheerful, very popular, and has leadership skills, not bad nature, but too selfish.For Ji Duo's parents, the only comfort at that time was that Ji Duo had no signs of puppy love.
As a result, not long after the first year of high school, Lu Haiyang appeared.Lu Haiyang is the type of boy that girls' parents don't like the most, and the word "dangerous" is written both on the outside and inside.Dyeing a head of yellow hair, he walks carelessly, his grades are at the bottom, and he drives a clumsy motorcycle at a young age.But Lu Haiyang's facial features are fairly well-rounded. He is tall and good at sports. He is the main force of the basketball team. His skin exudes healthy vitality, which is very attractive to girls of that age.There are many girls who like him in school, but he only likes Ji Duo.
At first, Ji Duo didn't promise Lu Haiyang anything, and they maintained a relationship as ordinary friends, but after Lu Haiyang drove her home several times, her parents couldn't sit still.However, for girls in the rebellious period, parents intervening in relationship problems is like pressing the detonator.
In order to promote her independent consciousness and prove her determination to pursue free love, she deliberately opposed her parents and got closer and closer to Lu Haiyang.On the surface, they are a couple, and the two of them also acquiesced in this relationship, but they didn't do anything out of bounds.
I have to admit that Ji Duo and Lu Haiyang were very happy together at that time. They drove motorcycles together, skipped classes to watch basketball games together, and went exploring in abandoned unfinished buildings together. Everything they did together was very exciting. .But whenever Lu Haiyang wants to have a more intimate move, even if it's just a hug, Ji Duo can't help but avoid it.She didn't know whether she still had her parents' good baby side in her heart, or if she just felt uncomfortable.
But in front of her parents, Ji Duo's mouth was very hard, she said boldly that she just likes Lu Haiyang and wants to be with him.Later, when the former she completely disappeared, and the surviving soul was completely reconciled with her parents. She realized where her crux was. In the final analysis, it was because she felt that she was not good enough, and that this life was destined to be mediocre. To meet the expectations of her parents, that's why she wanted to make herself stand out. She wanted to prove that even if she didn't live like her parents, and didn't succeed in becoming a talent, she could at least be happier as a mediocre person.
However, at the age of 17 when the third year of high school was approaching, Ji Duo's parents decided to restrict her behavior. They tried to separate her from Lu Haiyang with a lot of advanced classes, pick-up and drop-off by car, and even lock the door.No one expected that Lu Haiyang would come up with a strange trick. He tied a ladder to the motorcycle and drove directly to the downstairs of Ji Duo's improvement class.As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the good students gathered around the teacher to ask questions in front of the podium. Ji Duo jumped out from the window on the second floor under the eyes of everyone, stepped on the ladder and jumped directly onto Lu Haiyang's motorcycle.Before leaving, she kicked down the ladder, and with a bang, she chased the teachers and classmates from the first and second floors to the window to watch her.
At that time, her father was waiting to pick her up outside the advanced class. When the teacher notified her, she had already disappeared.Dad called her, and her heart was still pounding because of the excitement, and she shouted into the phone: "Don't look for me! We eloped!"
The accident happened only in a blink of an eye, and Ji Duo didn't pay attention to whether Lu Haiyang ran the red light at that time. In short, when a huge truck turned from the opposite side, they dodged to one side, but bumped into another car behind.The motorcycle lost control at the intersection, spun twice and threw them both out, and the car slid directly under the truck, leaving it horribly damaged.The motorcycle only has one helmet, which Lu Haiyang wears, while Ji Duo doesn't even have any protective gear on him.
At that time, there was chaos all around, all the cars stopped, there were many rear-end collisions, brakes and horns blared, but she didn't hear anything. After the first impact on the head, only tinnitus remained. .
How could she know that she almost rolled over the hood of Weijin's car at that time, but fortunately rolled twice after landing, Weijin braked the car tightly, so as not to complete a fatal blow to her.
But Weijin couldn't be sure for a while whether he bumped into her, so he was the only one who didn't avoid suspicion and ran forward to check her condition.He tried calling a few times, but Ji Duo opened his eyes, but there was no response, so he quickly dialed 120.
Later, both the police and 120 came. Weijin cooperated with the police to do some investigations, and after proving that he was not at fault, he left.Ji Duo only left a slightly deeper memory in his world, how could he know that he would become a vital symbol in Ji Duo's life.In the last few seconds before her consciousness left, Ji Duo didn't think of Lu Haiyang at all, she just thought, this man is so good-looking.
If Ji Duo had died then Wei Jin would have become the last person she had ever seen in her life.But Ji Duo didn't die, so Weijin became the beginning of her new life.
A person hidden in the depths of the soul, as if the cells and blood of the whole body are working hard, a person who is unwilling to forget.
But from the moment Ji Duo woke up, Lu Haiyang became a stranger.She was in a coma for a long time after the operation, and it took a long time to regain some vitality. At first, everyone just knew that she didn't remember the accident. This is a normal situation.But when she suddenly asked her mother what day it was and how long it was before the senior high school entrance examination, the parents and doctors realized that she had forgotten more.
Although her parents told her what happened in the past few years in as much detail as possible, listening to other people's stories will always be just a story. Ji Duo wants to recall like a dead end, but it causes a splitting headache.Except for a dream of a car accident, she has nothing left. Naturally, she has no hatred for Lu Haiyang.
Before she found out that Ji Duo was forgotten, her parents had already had a serious fight with Lu Haiyang's parents, and complained about Lu Haiyang many times in front of her. She knew from the eavesdropped words that her parents were real at that time They wanted to sue Lu Haiyang, because they really couldn't accept that Lu Haiyang only wore a helmet for himself.
But in the end, Ji Duo asked his parents to give up the idea, and the Lu family paid part of the medical expenses, so the matter was over.Because she learned the truth from the teacher of the advanced class who was visiting the doctor, and she knew that Lu Haiyang couldn't be blamed for it.She escaped, so it's normal that she didn't remember the helmet.She didn't think about it, and Lu Haiyang certainly didn't think about it either.Maybe it's fate, this is what should have happened in her life.But it was a blessing in disguise that the relationship between her and her parents has improved a lot, and she also promised her parents that she will not be entangled with Lu Haiyang in the future.
Anyway, she already knew the cause and effect in her heart, she just remembered the name "Lu Haiyang", she couldn't even remember her face, so she couldn't even mention her feelings.
Just as her condition gradually stabilized and she was about to be discharged from the hospital, Lu Haiyang finally found a chance to visit her in the ward.Lu Haiyang was also seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. He had already been discharged from the hospital, but he still couldn't find a chance to slip out.This accident also had a great impact on Lu Haijia, not only Ji Duo's medical expenses, but also the problems of other vehicles.Although Lu Haiyang didn't say it, Ji Duo guessed that Lu Haiyang's parents must also blame her. If he hadn't gone to find her, his family wouldn't have had this innocent disaster.
The only person who can't see the reality clearly is Lu Haiyang.
Lu Haiyang lingered in the hospital for a long time, confirmed that Ji Duo's parents were not there, and then sneaked into the ward.At that time, Ji Duo was reading a book and didn't pay attention to him until he heard him timidly calling: "Duo Duo..."
Ji Duo turned to look at him without any impression, wondering which male classmate this is, hesitantly muttered: "You are..."
Seeing her expression and hearing her question, Lu Haiyang's eyes widened, and he was stunned for three seconds before rushing to her bed, scratching his neck and yelling, "Have you lost your memory?"
Seeing his reaction, Ji Duo guessed who he was, but still didn't feel the truth, and called timidly: "Lu Haiyang?"
"I heard that you forgot some things, but I didn't expect you to forget me." Lu Haiyang sat on the edge of the bed and felt aggrieved.
Looking at Lu Haiyang's face up close, Ji Duo's doubts intensified. She was sure that Lu Haiyang was not the type she liked.Although she didn't know what type she liked at that time, she felt that Lu Haiyang was really not attractive to her.
Although Lu Haiyang was good-looking, and he was considered above average in the crowd, but after that, Lu Haiyang was no longer special in Ji Duo's eyes. Zhang, a certain male number three in the TV series... they look similar, and they don't leave any impression when they turn around.
"Yeah, I completely forgot about the things we got along with before. So, let's not meet again in the future." Ji Duo said to Lu Haiyang with a smile.
She thought that everyone could tacitly say that after this kind of thing happened, it would be difficult to be ordinary friends again, and it would be good for everyone not to see the two families face each other.She really thought that Lu Haiyang was here to say goodbye to her, but after hearing her words, a grown boy actually started crying.
"Sorry, I know you blame me..."
"No, that's not what I meant!" There were other people in the ward, and Ji Duo felt ashamed, so she waved her hands in panic, "To be honest, I really can't blame you, because I don't remember you!"
"Then why don't you want to see me?"
"I……"
It's just an endless loop.Ji Duo couldn't make Lu Haiyang understand the feeling of amnesia, and she couldn't understand the sense of dislocation in Lu Haiyang's heart.People who were playmates one day, left themselves as adults the next day.
Fortunately, Ji Duo's father came back at this time, and unceremoniously drove out Lu Haiyang who was still weeping. Before the door was closed, Ji Duo heard him shout: "Duo Duo, I will not give up!"
Ji Duo shook his head helplessly.In her heart, she had already drawn a clear line with Lu Haiyang at that time.
But no, seven years have passed since then, and Lu Haiyang has not disappeared from her life.Later, when she came to Shanghai to study and start a business, Lu Haiyang never stopped chasing her.Ji Duo watched idol dramas before, and whenever there was an episode of amnesia, the protagonist seemed to never completely forget his lover. If she had really loved deeply, she always felt that there should be a seed buried in her heart.
But she couldn't feel it at all. Although Lu Haiyang chased after him fiercely and vowed how good their relationship was before, Ji Duo could only believe that. After all, outsiders can't say well about relationships.
In short, the current situation is that she and Lu Haiyang can chat to death within three sentences, but Lu Haiyang still swears that she will not marry in this life.
Marry a ghost!At this moment, Ji Duo looked at Lu Haiyang who was standing in front of him furiously, and only wanted him to disappear from his front as quickly as possible.
To be honest, even if they had feelings after the accident, they all became debts. If she really wanted to blame her, she would eventually have a reason to blame her.Fortunately, she forgot that she couldn't even get angry, so she always thought that she could just smile away her grudges.If Lu Haiyang can be quiet, it's not that she can't be friends, put aside love, after all, there are still friends, classmates, and even the friendship of life and death.But Ji Duo's thoughts of muddling along were almost exhausted by Lu Haiyang's nonsense.
"Who is that man? When did you meet?" Lu Haiyang yelled.
"Who he is has nothing to do with you." Ji Duo turned on the computer, stared at the screen, and no longer looked at him, "It's up to you if you want to work in Shanghai, but don't say you're here for me, I don't have time to accompany you."
"I don't believe it! I must know who that man is!"
After speaking, Lu Haiyang picked up the bag on the ground, closed the door quickly and left.
Ji Duo tilted her head and stared nervously at the door. After waiting for about 3 minutes, she made sure that Lu Haiyang would not turn back again. When she rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth immediately turned into an upward arc. She grabbed the phone and dialed Xiaoqiu's number. Can't stop muttering: "Quick, quick, quick..."
It kept ringing until it was about to hang up automatically, then Xiaoqiu picked up the phone, opened her mouth and cursed: "Ji Duo, you are going to die, you know what will happen if you call me in the morning!"
"I'm sorry, I know you are a nocturnal animal, but I have a reason." Ji Duo spoke faster, "Are you at home or in the store now?"
"In the shop."
"Lu Haiyang should go find you now."
There was a turning sound from the other end of the phone, and Xiao Qiu's voice suddenly became clear: "What is he doing here?"
"He told me that he found a job in Shanghai and was going to take root here! Do you know what that means? I can't get rid of him anymore! So I told him that I had a boyfriend as soon as I was anxious." Thinking of Weijin, Ji Duo looked down at the clothes he hadn't had time to change, and couldn't help laughing, "He definitely doesn't believe it, so he'll go over and ask you now."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Ji Duo twisted the corner of his clothes and said, "No... just said it casually. However, if he asks you, you just say yes. He is an uncle in his 30s. He is super handsome and stylish. He has a car and a house. Anyway, you make up whatever you want. .”
Xiaoqiu chuckled a few times, and said eccentrically, "That's not right, Ji Duo, you obviously have someone to choose for you? You wouldn't be with that uncle who repairs watches..."
"Oops! No! I, I, I... have to talk to the factory! I'm dead!"
"Wait, let's talk about it first, can I solve it anyway?" There was a nail grinding voice on the receiver, "You know I have a bad temper, if he fights with me, I can find someone to beat him out , or can we call the police and arrest him?"
"what ever!"
"It's fine with your words."
Putting down the phone, Ji Duo stretched her arms and fell back on the sofa in a big shape. The past night was replaying in her mind over and over again. She folded her hands and rubbed her face vigorously. What could not be dispelled was a little shame and a smile all over her face .
(End of this chapter)
In the afternoon of mid-August in Shanghai, the white sun brutally devastated everyone who walked on the road. The naked eye seemed to be able to see the heat wave waving in the air, licking people's skin and leaving burning pain.Although the Fatong on Julu Road is quite dense and the whole road is covered with shade trees, Ji Duo felt that he was going to faint from the heat after walking less than 500 meters, so he plunged into a nearby shop selling freshly squeezed juice small shop.
"Is there any reason, it costs 35 to squeeze two cucumbers?" Ji Duo angrily sent WeChat to his best friend Xiaoqiu while drinking cucumber juice.
Not long after the text was sent, Xiao Qiu called. Before Ji Duo answered the phone, he heard a wild laugh from the other side: "You deserve it, why do you want to drink cucumber juice? Don't say you want to drink cucumber juice from now on." What are you doing, a health-preserving girl!"
"Bah, I'm too young to do anything!" Ji Duo plugged in the earphones and used his free hands to touch up makeup in the mirror, "I was looking for a watch repair shop on Julu Road, but it was too hot outside, so I came in to use the air conditioner .”
"Repair the watch?"
"I borrowed my dad's pocket watch on a whim to study it, but I didn't know why and didn't leave. I have to find a place to fix it for him quickly, and I can't let him know."
After the sweat on his body disappeared and his makeup was reapplied, Ji Duo continued to look for watch repair shops while talking on the phone.There was only a vague address on the Internet, and she couldn't find it on the map, so she had to pay attention to the house number along the way, and felt that she couldn't see any signboard when she got close, Ji Duo muttered: "It should be around here..."
"Maybe there is no more. How can there be a private watch repair shop these days, and it's on Julu Road, can it make money?" Xiaoqiu said casually.
"I feel so too……"
Saying this, Ji Duo turned a corner and suddenly caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous small bungalow. There was a wooden board nailed to the edge of the balcony on the second floor, which read - Today Clock Studio.
"Ah, I seem to have found it." Ji Duo looked up, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and thought that no matter what he did these days, he called it a studio, "I'll hang up first, see you tonight."
In front of her is a very small European-style old bungalow, which is not conspicuous in the old bungalow area on Julu Road. There are thick plane trees on the left and right of it, and you may not see it if you don’t pay attention.But I have to say that this small house is very tasteful. The entire second floor is in the big triangle of the roof, and two small triangular balconies like ears protrude from both sides. Most of the outer walls are cream yellow in the southern French style. It is built with red bricks, and some of the red bricks are exposed at the bottom of the house.You need to go up a few steps to enter the door. The door is very narrow and small. It is an ordinary anti-theft door, but there are two arched French windows on the side, and each has double doors that can be opened.All the iron frames and the railings of the corridors outside are painted with dark green paint, which is very old from the degree of mottled.
Ji Duo has been in Shanghai for several years, and she knows very well how much the old bungalows on Julu Road are worth.She looked at the very careless wooden sign, and felt that this was not like doing business at all.
When she got to the door, she found that it was locked.She stretched out her hand to press the doorbell, and at the same time found that the door of the floor-to-ceiling windows was ajar.She walked over hesitantly, and pressed her head against the glass. The light was too strong. She raised her hand to cover her eyes and looked in. Sure enough, she saw many clocks.Ji Duo yelled "Is anyone there?" and opened the wrought iron glass door and walked into the house.
Although the sun outside was blinding people's eyes, the light suddenly dimmed a few degrees when they entered the room.This kind of house looks big on the outside, but the usable space inside is very small. In this living room, there is a huge desk on the right hand side, a small sofa and a low coffee table on the left hand side against the wall. These are the only pieces of furniture that I noticed, and the remaining fireplaces and the like should belong to the house itself, but at this moment, none of them can attract Ji Duo's attention.
Her attention was so absorbed by the dazzling array of clocks that she couldn't be distracted at all.She is a person who always skips the watch section when she visits home furnishing stores, so this is the first time she has seen so many clocks at the same time since she was a child.There are more than one vertical clocks taller than her in the corner. As long as the platform can be placed, there are all kinds of desk clocks, some are retro wooden cases, some are very modern, and there are all kinds of clocks with all the parts. A handicraft that is naked and only covered with a glass shell.And there are many old-fashioned wall clocks hanging randomly on the wall, and the pendulum swings neatly.There is even a whole row of pocket watches hanging above the fireplace.
Clocks and clocks, large and small, filled the room, emitting a harmonious and dreamy sound of needle movement. Being in them, no amount of restlessness can be calmed down, and the flow of time every minute and every second becomes extremely clear.Ji Duo wasn't thinking about anything, she tiptoed around the room, feeling like she accidentally broke into an empty playground.
"Is there a problem?"
However, at this moment, a male voice sounded from behind her.Because Ji Duo didn't hear the footsteps at all beforehand, Ji Duo was startled, screamed and turned her body, but her heels were unstable, she lost her balance and fell backwards. Fortunately, the man opposite reached out to grab her in time, and she staggered It took a big step and finally stood firm.
Ji Duo patted his chest and complained: "You scared me to death..."
"You came into my room by yourself, and you blame me for scaring you?" The man's voice was very low, and there was a taste of joke in his tone, but it was too light.He was holding a slender glass in his hand, and the green tea in it was in good condition, standing upright at the bottom.He walked back to the desk, put down the cup, raised his eyes and asked Ji Duo, "Are you really just here for a visit?"
"Oh, no!" Ji Duo was actually a little puzzled. She seemed to have slowed down her reaction after entering here. She tried to wake herself up, took out a pocket watch from her bag, and handed it to the man, "My dad's watch, I Take it for fun and leave, can you help me see if it can be repaired?"
The man took the watch in his hand and smiled slightly: "This watch must be 20 years old."
"Basically, it seems that my mother gave it to him. It was very precious at the time. If it can't be repaired, he will probably have to sever the relationship with me for another month." Although he said this, Ji Duo didn't look like it So anxious, she walked around the room with her hands behind her back, "Are all these watches yours?"
"Some are deposited by others."
The man replied, but he was thinking about the word "again" just now, secretly thinking it was funny.He looked up again at Ji Duo, who was looking at the clock on the wall with his back turned to him. In midsummer, her long hair was loose and she was wearing a bright red dress. She didn't look like a rebellious girl at all.
But...he thought of the first time they met, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and shook his head silently.
This thought did not hinder his action. He had sat down, put a loupe on his left eye, unfolded the tool bag, found the right tool deftly, and pried off the back cover of the watch.Obviously due to the aging caused by lack of maintenance, the whole winding plate is rusted, but it should be salvageable.There are many people who love watches nowadays, but too few know how to maintain them regularly, so he couldn't help but sighed softly.
At this time, Ji Duo had turned his head to look at the man who was lying in front of the desk with strange things on his eyes. I have to say that he has a very good temperament.It’s hard to tell his age, maybe he’s in his 20s or 30s. His facial features are tough, his nose is super high, his eye sockets are sunken, and the streamline of his chin is also very clear. The sun shines from the side Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the shadows of the eyelashes and the bridge of the nose on the face are very obvious, making the whole face as sharp as a knife.
He has long hair, I don't know whether it is curly or permed, and it hangs over the ears in a messy way. He is wearing a yellowed cotton and linen shirt with the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, and the trousers are also loose-fitting. People feel very lazy, but also has the temperament of a wandering poet.
Ji Duo has never had this type of person around her, but for some reason she felt familiar. She didn't think too much about it, and just asked a symbolic question: "Have we met before?"
Even though she asked like this, she didn't have the slightest clue in her mind.
"Probably...not." The man raised his head and took off the loupe, "Do you say that to everyone you meet?"
"Don't worry too much, I'm not trying to strike up a conversation. But I do say this often, and you may not believe it. I'm a mentally ill person, and I've lost a lot of memories. It's easy to have a sense of deja vu when I meet people and things."
Ji Duo propped her hands on the edge of the table, waiting for the man to laugh, but she didn't, on the contrary, she was very surprised: "Others would laugh when I said that, why didn't you respond?"
The man froze for a moment: "Excuse me, where is the joke?"
"I said I'm mentally ill!" Ji Duo leaned forward, "I mean it seriously. But every time I say it, everyone thinks I'm joking."
"I believe you mean it, so I don't think it's funny."
The man said lightly, his eyes were even cold, but Ji Duo felt a rare warmth in his heart, and something moved slightly deep in his heart.
"Then aren't you afraid? What if I lose my mind?"
When she asked, the man smiled instead: "I think even if you are sick now, I am sure that I can win. What's more, you look ruddy and shiny."
Ji Duo laughed, it's really pleasant to be with someone who can talk.
"Leave this here with me." The man waved the pocket watch in his hand towards her, "Leave me a phone number, and I'll call you to get it after it's repaired."
When it came to leaving a phone number, Ji Duo hesitated for a moment, it wasn't that she was afraid of leaving a phone number, it was because she had a lot of calls, and she couldn't answer some strange calls, so it was easy to miss them.
But the man obviously misunderstood the reason for her hesitation, and changed his words: "You don't have to stay if you don't want to, then let's take a look at it in a week or so, but it may be a waste of time."
Ji Duo waved his hand quickly: "I didn't mean that. I have a lot of messy calls due to work, and I'm worried that I won't be able to answer them. So, you leave your phone number to me, and I'll remember it."
The man didn't shirk, he took out a receipt from the drawer and wrote something on it, then wrote his name and phone number at the bottom, and then pushed it to Ji Duo.
"Wei Jin."
Signing his name and phone number in the lower right corner, Ji Duo laughed: "This surname is so rare."
"really."
Ji Duo didn't put the receipt back into the bag directly, but opened the phone calendar, made a memo of "taking the watch" on the date a week later, and marked Weijin's name and phone number at the same time.Although Weijin didn't take a peek on purpose, she still saw the dense memos on her mobile phone in a flash.
This made Wei Jin a little more interested. Young girls are rarely so planned.
"Busy at work?" He couldn't help asking.
"Prevent problems before they happen."
Ji Duo explained ambiguously, and put the receipt into the bag.Wei Jin didn't ask any more questions, sat down again and put back the back cover of the pocket watch, picked up a watch that was being repaired before and continued.But Ji Duo still stood at the table without moving, he didn't look up, and suddenly heard her ask: "Can I ask you another question?"
"Ask." Wei Jin looked up at her.
Ji Duo couldn't help sticking out his tongue: "Do you have a lot of business? Do you only make money by repairing watches?"
Wei Jin frowned slightly, he wasn't angry, he was just a little surprised that someone he didn't know very well would directly ask this question, but after thinking about it, maybe the current child has this personality.He shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway... it won't disappear tomorrow."
"Then why did you choose to do this?"
"This is the second question."
"Don't be so stingy!" Ji Duo bent down on the table with one hand resting on his chin, staring into Wei Jin's eyes, "Just pretend it's too hot outside, I want to use the air conditioner for a while."
Weijin had no choice but to put down the things in his hands, holding a water glass in both hands and said to her: "I like clocks and clocks. Clocks and watches are very interesting in terms of technology and meaning."
"But you have to admit that people's demand for watches is not as great as before. It is not a necessity."
"Maybe, you can use your mobile phone to check the time, it seems more convenient. But let's not talk about whether the time of the mobile phone is accurate, how long will you use a mobile phone? You change it in a year or two, and you can't use it in five or six years. , you won’t feel a pity when you lose it. But a good watch can last for decades or even longer. When you own a watch, you will feel the time more vividly. Clocks may really no longer be necessary. But the sense of ritual given to it by time has always existed, and it is the closest thing to eternity among the things invented by human beings."
The two of them have been looking at each other, almost at the same level, with half an arm's distance between them.When Weijin looked seriously at Ji Duo's eyes, she knew that she didn't listen at all. Her eyes with pink eye makeup were full of curiosity and confusion unique to children.Wei Jin suddenly laughed at himself, and leaned back on the chair: "To put it simply, I'm getting older and I miss the old days."
Ji Duo tilted her head and pillowed her hand, thinking for a long time, but still felt something was wrong.She pouted and said, "You are not nostalgic, on the contrary, you are the kind of person who likes to control the future."
It has to be said that at that moment Weijin subconsciously straightened his back and turned serious.
He didn't expect the girl in her early twenties in front of him to say such a thing, but just looking at the state of Ji Duo's speech, he couldn't tell whether she was thinking seriously, or just speaking casually out of instinct.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Me!" Ji Duo stood up straight and stretched, "What I care most about is today, the minute and second right now. I don't care about eternity, I just want this moment. Let's go, bye !"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out through the glass door through which she came in. Wei Jin didn't know why he stood up and followed her to the door, and stood in front of the French window with arms folded.There is a narrow corridor outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is connected to the steps at the gate. Ji Duo leans his back against the railing and leans his upper body back desperately. He raised his finger and pointed at it, and called to him briskly: "So, I like your signboard!"
Then she ran away quickly.
Wei Jin could only see a little bit of her back from inside the door, and she disappeared very quickly.Wei Jin also went out, stood at the same position and looked up for a while, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
Today's young people really believe in carpe diem!He walked back into the house and locked the door of the floor-to-ceiling window—but this girl is lucky to be so lively now, and it is understandable to want to enjoy herself in time.
After brewing a cup of tea again, Weijin sat back at the table, put on the loupe and began to repair the watch, took out a tiny part as thin as a hair with the smallest tweezers, and carefully placed it on a clean cloth aside.At this time, his thoughts would quickly calm down, and even his breathing seemed to become very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Only the clock in the house makes the sound of a heartbeat, and once you calm down, you can’t hear it at all. Weijin’s life is like this. It’s like staying in a crystal ball. You can’t feel the time passing at all, but you often find it when you look up. It was already dusk outside the house.
In the evening, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew the clouds and quickly covered the sun. The wind was wrapped in a damp smell, and it came from the other side of the sea.The typhoon that was raging in the distance finally began to shift its position, and some radios on the street began to broadcast typhoon warnings.However, after leaving Weijin's watch workshop, Ji Duo didn't go home immediately, but went straight to the old place - the bar opened by her best friend Xiaoqiu.
A small courtyard on Tibet South Road, inside is a bar, where skewers can be enjoyed.In the past few years in Shanghai, Ji Duo spent countless nights here.Xiaoqiu was her junior high school classmate, but she lost contact with her after graduating from junior high school. She never expected to meet her in Shanghai later.The two of them are not what they remembered each other, but they find that they hit each other very well. Xiaoqiu is the same kind of girl who doesn't care about her, she does whatever comes to her mind and bears the consequences herself.This bar was originally opened by Xiaoqiu and her boyfriend at the time. When the two broke up, the man wanted to use a little money to drive her out. At that time, Xiaoqiu went out of her way to borrow all the people around her, and bought the bar by herself. Come down, and find a new partner.There was a time when she was so poor that she ate one meal every two days, but fortunately, the hardship finally paid off, and the new partner became a new boyfriend, and he was still a foreigner.
"Honey, do you remember me?" Ji Duo was sitting at the bar drinking alcoholic beverages with no alcoholic strength, when a boy in his 20s came over suddenly, put his arms around her shoulders, and sat next to her, "Go up You said it last time, and meet the person who invited me to drink again."
Ji Duo shook his shoulders, smiled and threw his hand down, squinted his eyes and looked at his face for a long time, then shook his head: "Sorry, I don't remember."
The boy took her wine glass and drank it, shaking his eyebrows provocatively: "Don't be kidding, it's been a few days, we chatted all night, are you turning your face and denying anyone now?"
"You're right, I really don't recognize people." Ji Duo knocked on the bar and smiled at the bartender: "Give me a can of Coke."
The boy who struck up a conversation was a little anxious, his face turned pale, and he wanted to say something more. At this time, Xiao Qiu had already walked out of the room, and silently gave the person in charge of watching the scene a look, and the boy was persuaded to leave.
"What, you're in a bad mood?" Xiao Qiu sat next to Ji Duo with her flaming red lips.
"No, you know mine, I'm telling the truth, his face is not in my memory."
Xiaoqiu laughed twice: "The family looks quite upright, what else do you want?"
Ji Duo took the coke handed over by the bartender, poured it into a glass and sipped it through a straw. For the sake of health, she couldn't drink too much alcohol, so it was considered a miracle in the bar.She swung the wine glass lightly, keeping her gaze on it, thinking that others might regard it as red wine, and said casually, "Don't tell me, the watch repair uncle I met this afternoon is quite handsome."
"Uncle? How old are you?"
"Around thirty?"
"Then you can call him Uncle or Brother, okay?" Xiao Qiu put her shoulders on her shoulders and winked, "Tell me, what is it like? The handsome person you say is so handsome."
"It's hard to say. He's that... the type that we don't have around us, and he's not in the same world as us." Ji Duo took a small sip of Coca-Cola, the sweetness was frightening when the bubbles weakened a little, she frowned slightly, "There's something about him The temperament far away from the world makes people feel very unreal, very light and light, but very bright."
Her five fingers were kneading together, and then suddenly separated, making a blooming movement: "Like a star, do you understand?"
Xiao Qiu stared at Ji Duo's eyes, and nodded seriously: "I understand! I understand very much! You have taken a fancy to him!"
Ji Duo froze for a moment, then bumped Xiao Qiu with his shoulder: "Bah! Nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense? I should set up a mirror for you, so that you can see for yourself the look in your eyes just now. Stars? Your eyes are almost turning into stars!"
Really or not... Ji Duo lowered her head and laughed, she really said whatever came to her mind at that moment, that's how the man named Wei Jin gave her.Although it is not a world, it is quite rare to take pictures occasionally through the clouds for a while.
"What's the use even if I like it?" Ji Duo drank the wine in his glass, "Maybe I won't remember him suddenly in two days, if he changes his hairstyle and dresses up to meet me, I might not even recognize him Come out, don't hurt anyone."
Although she was joking, with words written all over her body that she didn't care or care, it was rare for Xiao Qiu not to smile, and lowered her voice and said, "Hasn't your illness stabilized? It's been a long time since you've had it."
"This thing is a bomb buried in the ground. Who knows when it will explode?"
Ji Duo shook his head, expressing that he didn't want to talk about it again.
They didn't mention the man anymore, the two girls chatted about business, housing prices, and new lipstick numbers, and suddenly there was chaos outside the door, and they vaguely heard someone shouting thunder.Ji Duo looked at the time, it was not too early, and jumped off the high stool: "I'm going back first, I have to talk to the manufacturer about something tomorrow."
"Okay, go back early, there may be heavy rain later. Can I find someone to drive you?"
"No need!" Ji Duo waved his hands exaggeratedly, "If I need others to take care of me all the time, I will really be hopeless. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ji Duo got into the car quickly, and after nestling in the back seat, sleepiness began to pull her eyelids, but there was still something to do when she got back, so she tried to open her eyes, trying to wake herself up.So she began to think wildly, looking at her blurred silhouette on the glass window, trying to recall some people and things.But she still can't remember what she should remember. She lost a large part of her memory, so that she felt unreal when she recalled more distant things. Her impressions are all wrong, her memory of people has become very poor, and she often can't remember the people she just met.If Ji Duo is forced to describe her feeling of being alive, she will feel that one of the world and her is not real. She sees the world as if separated by a layer of rain-wet glass, and she probably thinks that she is just in a crystal ball when viewed from the world. Spin the puppet bar.
Suddenly, Ji Duo thought of Wei Jin.There seemed to be something shaking in front of her eyes, but she couldn't catch it.Ji Duo took out the notepad from his bag, unplugged the pen stuck on it, and began to try to draw Weijin's face on the blank page.
After several attempts, she still couldn't draw it.Ji Duo suddenly scribbled on the whole page in a panic, until it was covered with chaotic lines and the page was punctured, then she threw the book back into the bag in frustration.
She can draw, but the only thing she can't draw is human faces. When she learned to draw, she skipped the basic part of portraits.The painting teacher couldn't understand this at all, and she still couldn't explain why she couldn't draw the model even though she was looking at it.
The first thing I do when I get home is to take a shower. After the shower is turned on, the bathroom is full of mist.Ji Duo rented a high-rise single apartment, the interior is very good, but the area is small, but it is enough for one person.At her age in Shanghai, it is more than enough to be able to afford such a decent house.After turning off the water, Ji Duo stood in front of the mirror covered with water vapor and wiped her hair with a towel. She deliberately did not wipe off the water on the mirror until she completely dried her hair with a hair dryer, combed it, and the mirror Her face was only vaguely reflected on the screen.
She pulled the mirror out, and behind it was a small cabinet with bottles and cans that were not usually used. She took out two bottles of medicine from the corner and poured out one piece each, and went out of the bathroom to find a glass of water to swallow the medicine.One is the vitamin that the doctor ordered to be supplemented at any time, and the other is a common nerve-soothing medicine. I don’t know if it is really useful, just for psychological comfort.
When Ji Duo was 17 years old, she had a serious accident. At that time, her head was seriously injured. Doctors think it is rare that she is still alive and kicking.But after the operation, there were continuous sequelae. The most obvious thing was that she lost her memory of almost three years including the car accident. When she woke up, she thought she hadn't graduated from junior high school.Although the doctor and parents explained the situation to her, she also believed it, but she still didn't feel it.During that time, her condition was very bad. As long as she relaxed a little, she would think that she was alive again, and she often couldn't figure out her life. Afterwards, she had various space and face recognition obstacles.
The doctor said she was a syndrome caused by traumatic brain injury, similar to amnesia syndrome.Whether it can be completely cured or not, the doctor is not sure. Brain and mental diseases are the most complicated, and there are too few reference cases.However, after a period of treatment, Ji Duo basically got better. In fact, she has not changed at all, but she is no longer surprised by those little chaos.She found that as long as she paid more attention, calculated more, and made more memos, she would have no problem coping with life.She tried really hard to be normal, and she did.
It’s just that seven years have passed since the operation, and she still feels headaches from time to time. I don’t know if it’s because she’s always nervous, so she’s unavoidably a little neurasthenic. After many checkups, there are no major problems. The doctor said that after all, she experienced With such a major operation, sensory sequelae are unavoidable.
Simply put, she should be content.
Laying on the bed and using the computer to deal with some work matters, by the way, for today's account, Ji Duo fell on the bed when it was nearly twelve o'clock, but the drowsiness disappeared completely.Although 24 years old is not particularly young, she is still the type who becomes more beautiful with time. The pouring rain outside the house has already started, and lightning can be seen lighting up the night through the curtains.
Ji Duo closed his eyes and tried to outline people's faces in the dark, only to find that only his parents had vague outlines, but he still couldn't remember the facial features.Strangely, when she tried to think of Wei Jin's face, she found that she could also think of a vague outline.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Wei Jin was really familiar, and that kind of familiarity was not the same as recognizing someone wrong, because Wei Jin didn't look like anyone, and she couldn't find the possibility of matching her seat, but she just felt that she had known each other.
Just like that, she fell asleep in a trance. When she didn't sleep well, she seemed to be awake even in her dreams. Ji Duo realized that she was flying, and her eyes shook like a candid camera. She felt that she was being captured by a huge wave The strength was thrown out, flew over the low guardrail on the road, fell in the middle of the road, and rolled several times before stopping.She was paralyzed on the ground in a big shape, with only piercing screams in her ears.Ji Duo realized that she dreamed about the car accident again.This is not the first time, in the past seven years, she has dreamed countless times of the scene of the accident happening in just a few minutes, but because she has completely forgotten it in reality, each dream is different.Even if she saw it from a third-person perspective in her dream, she couldn't guess what was going on in her head at that time.
Suddenly a man appeared in front of her, knelt down beside her with one leg, and gently touched her face.The camera rotated a little bit, Ji Duo seemed to have returned to the feeling of lying there, her eyes were covered with blood and tears, and she saw the person's face very vaguely.The man frowned slightly and watched her, his mouth kept moving, but she couldn't hear anything.
In the dream, Ji Duo knew her last thoughts before she lost consciousness as if she heard a voice-over. At that time, what she thought was that the man who was looking at her was so good-looking, and death was worth it.At that time, Ji Duo thought that she was going to die, and that man would be the last face she remembered during her lifetime.
That's... Weijin's face.
Hiss - Ji Duo took a deep breath, woke up from the dream, rolled over and sat up, grabbing the clothes around his heart and panting continuously.She stared, her pupils trembling in panic, she hoped she could calm down, but after waiting for a minute, she found that there was no way to do it, on the contrary, the fire in her heart made her very anxious, if she didn't do something What, as if it was about to be burned to ashes.
In the past seven years, she has returned to the moment of the car accident countless times in her dreams. No matter how unimaginable the plot, the appearance of this man is fixed.But that person has always been a vague shadow, and Ji Duo has no way of knowing whether this person really exists in reality, maybe this is another trick her brain uses to make up a Superman that appears at a critical moment.
But today she finally saw clearly - Ji Duo jumped out of bed, grabbed an umbrella and ran out the door - she should have recognized it, she should have realized it when she saw Wei Jin for the first time, Why is she so stupid?
At 20:[-] in the morning, it was still raining and thundering outside, and Ji Duo was standing at the door of the building. At this time, no one even took the taxi order.She walked out with an umbrella, and after walking for more than [-] minutes, she finally met a taxi that was willing to stop. Even with the umbrella, she was almost wet.
The taxi was parked outside the old bungalow during the day, and the surroundings were dark and silent, only the sound of rain.She handed the driver a big bill, and ran up the steps with her umbrella closed without waiting for change.At this time, the floor-to-ceiling windows were locked, and heavy curtains were hung inside. She stood at the gate and kept ringing the doorbell.
The clamminess and eagerness encouraged her to keep jumping, trembling slightly.
Weijin was actually woken up by the doorbell, he slept upstairs, the doorbell sounded a little far away.He opened his eyes but couldn't recover, it was the first time for him that someone came to the door in the middle of the night.His place is not a hospital, and no watch repairer or buyer would think that if he does not repair or buy it immediately, he will die, and there should be no drunks knocking on the wrong door in his location.But the doorbell kept ringing. He grabbed the nightgown on the back of the chair and put it on, went downstairs, and turned on the lights on the first floor when he walked to the door.
When Ji Duo first saw the light on, her mind went blank for an instant, she held her breath, and before she could recover, the door opened.
Wei Jin never expected it to be Ji Duo, so he couldn't react for a moment, but frowned.The rain outside was heavier than he had imagined, and the water dripped down from the extremely narrow eaves like a waterfall, like a water curtain hole.And Ji Duo stood at the door, half of his body was drenched by the rain.He saw that she was wearing thin home clothes, a short T-shirt and shorts, and she was actually wearing flip flops on her feet. She was covered in water from head to toe, and with the occasional huge lightning behind her, the situation was really a bit strange. Like the scene in Liaozhai.
And Ji Duo looked at Weijin's face against the light. Compared with the afternoon, he had a little more stubble and messy hair, but his frowning and hesitation brought a clearer sense of familiarity.A silver lightning flashed behind her, illuminating Weijin's face. In the blink of an eye, the blood and tears from seven years ago were washed away, and the face she never forgot became more and more clear, and it merged with the person in front of her. For oneness.
"Do you remember me?" She wanted to laugh, but her eyes were bloodshot.
"I saw you in the afternoon, of course I remember." Wei Jin turned sideways, "Come in first."
Ji Duo took a step forward, and before Weijin closed the door, she hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean this time! I mean we met earlier, do you remember?"
There are two layers of lights in the room, one is a warm yellow light, which is turned on when resting at night, and the other is a very bright white light, which is used when working. Weijin just turned on the yellow switch.In such an atmosphere, Ji Duo's eyes shone with a shocking light, and the pupils with a layer of water looked like brown colored glaze.
He probably understood why Ji Duo came, but at this time of the day, he was a little too impulsive - Wei Jin sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Stand here and wait." After closing the door, Wei Jin asked Ji Duo to stand where he was, and then he turned and went upstairs.
The surroundings became quiet, and Ji Duo stared intently at the watches all over the room. Instead of being hypnotized, his reason gradually woke up.She looked down at the raindrops she had dripped on the wooden floor, and secretly gritted her teeth.After a while, Weijin came down again and handed her two folded clothes: "My clothes are brand new and never worn. They will definitely be a little too big for you, so let's make do with them. Go take a shower and change out the wet clothes. Let's talk again."
Ji Duo took the clothes, holding them with both hands like a salesman. The pure cotton feels like a faint woody fragrance.Her head suddenly became empty, and she still stood still, biting her lip and looking at Wei Jin.
Wei Jin really couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but he was a little hairy after being stared at, so he raised his hand and patted her wet shoulder: "Go quickly."
"Oh..." She went upstairs in panic.
The ceiling upstairs is very low, there are two rooms and one bathroom, Ji Duo walks through Wei Jin's bedroom, and sees that the quilt is still in a hurry to open.She was suddenly flustered, and plunged into the bathroom. After closing the door, she knelt down and held her face in her hands and couldn't help screaming.
She is too crazy!She must have been sleepy, so she ran to a man's house in the middle of the night!
"Ahhh...going crazy..." She fiddled with her hair vigorously, and her face started to have a fever belatedly.
Wei Jin, who was mopping the floor downstairs, vaguely heard the movement upstairs, he stopped what he was doing, leaned on the stairs and called up: "Is there something wrong?"
"No, it's fine!"
Ji Duo quickly replied, and hurriedly turned on the shower, spraying cold water all over her body, and she gave a huge shudder.
She slowly adjusted the water temperature, stood under the shower with her clothes on, and couldn't help smiling.
When Ji Duo took a shower and changed clothes, it was nearly 05:30, and the sky was already a little bright, but fortunately, it was cloudy, and the curtains were thick enough, which still gave her the illusion that it was still late at night .
The waist of the trousers was too loose, and she could only tie a piece with a rubber band. The sleeves and trousers were very long, giving the feeling of a child wearing adult clothes.I don't know why, when she went downstairs, she unconsciously became tiptoe, and she didn't have the momentum when she came to kill her.
"Sit down." Weijin brought out a cup of black tea from the kitchen, asked her to sit on the sofa, and handed it to her, "Drink some black tea to keep the cold away. It rains in the middle of the night, and I don't want to pay for your medical expenses."
Speaking of which, Weijin took a wooden bench from the fireplace and sat diagonally across from Ji Duo. His legs were very long, and there was no place to sit on such a low stool.
"A little rain in summer is nothing." Ji Duo looked at the cup in his hand. To be precise, it was a bowl. At first glance, it was hand-fired and made of rough pottery. "The bowl is beautiful, where did you buy it?"
"I burned it myself."
Ji Duo stared.But Wei Jin ignored her surprise, and said slowly, "So? Why did you come knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
Really asking this question, Ji Duo didn't know how to answer. She pretended to drink tea, but she was thinking about how to say it, but she couldn't help frowning after taking a sip. Sure enough, she still didn't appreciate tea. thing.
She spread her palms towards Weijin and asked, "Is there any sugar?"
Weijin can't laugh or cry, Yunnan black tea is not considered bitter, the first brew is the most elegant, with a bit of sweetness, but she still wants sugar.
"Now it's dawn to be precise. If you eat sugar early in the morning, you won't be afraid of gaining weight." Having said that, he still got up to get a cube of sugar and put it into Ji Duo's cup.Seeing Ji Duo's contented smile, Wei Jin's heart softened, and he was about to say the phrase "what a child" on his lips.
"I, I had a nightmare." Ji Duo hugged his knees and curled up on the sofa, subconsciously biting the rim of his cup, "and then woke up suddenly. Didn't I say that you looked familiar during the day, I remembered it in my dream I don't think so, I must come and ask, did you recognize me a long time ago?"
"I did recognize it during the day." Wei Jin replied without any concealment.
"Then why didn't you say it when I asked you?"
Wei Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a little puzzled look, and asked her back: "Why do I have to say it? We don't know each other, right? At that time, I wasn't even sure if you were conscious or not and if you saw me It's over. We just met once, and it's that kind of situation. After so many years, since you don't remember it, what reason do I have to bring it up?"
Ji Duo shook his head sharply, put the cup on the small cabinet beside him, pressed his hands on the edge of the sofa, leaned forward, and seriously argued: "It's not that I don't remember! I dreamed many times! But my There's something wrong with my head, I'm not even sure if it's real, all I have is a very vague outline, a feeling... But I always remember, really-"
"Okay, okay, I believe in you, don't get excited."
Feeling aggrieved in her tone as she spoke, Wei Jin was afraid that she would cry in a while, and just wanted to comfort her first.For Weijin, being approached by a girl in the middle of the night is already an unimaginable big trouble, and he doesn't want to make the girl cry anymore.
He stroked one eyebrow, trying to think of words: "I hope you understand one thing, I did get out of the car to see you at the time, but it was because you fell right in front of my car, maybe I braked five times late Seconds, you're dead in my hands. I did hit 120, but there must have been others around. I'm not a saint, I don't feel like I've done anything good, and I don't care that much about you in my heart, so you There is no need to think about anything! Of course, after I recognized you yesterday afternoon, I was very happy to see that you are living so well now. "
He thought he had made it clear enough, and he didn't want Ji Duo to take him as a lifesaver.This kind of idea is very silly, and it's not the old society now, and we want to engage in the kind of sex promise, but from Ji Duo's behavior of running over in the rain in the middle of the night, Wei Jin can see that she is worried about her. At the beginning, he took his unintentional actions too seriously, and he didn't want to leave such a big psychological burden on a young girl.
But Ji Duo's understanding is always biased, she stared straight at Wei Jin's face, and muttered, "How do you see that I'm doing well? Am I more beautiful than I was seven years ago?"
Wei Jin couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and shook his head, and said helplessly: "If thinking like this makes you happy, I have no objection."
"You're older than that."
"Of course, I'm past the age where I can insist that I'm forever." Although Wei Jin said so, there was no trace of sadness on Wei Jin's face, "But every age has its benefits, there is no need to be afraid of changing. old."
Ji Duo put his legs down, stepped on the ground, and his upper body was almost lying on his legs, just to get closer to Wei Jin.She wriggled her lips, and it took her a long time to ask: "Then are you afraid of death?"
Wei Jin froze for a moment, he looked straight into Ji Duo's eyes, and felt a strange feeling in his heart, this was not the first time he felt the presence of an old soul on Ji Duo's body.She obviously has a pair of eyes that can see the bottom at a glance, and her demeanor is still childish, but there is a shadow sticking behind her, covering it from time to time.
Perhaps this is the shadow of post-traumatic bar.He thought for a while and replied, "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die."
"Then you are better than me. I am so afraid of death that I am ready to die at any time. Do you want to know what you mean to me?"
She leaned forward suddenly and grabbed Wei Jin's hand that was resting on her lap.Weijin broke free subconsciously, but her hands were cold, but she exerted great force.Wei Jin could only let her lead him, and slowly stretched towards her face, and stuck it a little behind her ear.
It has to be said that at that moment, Wei Jin's heartbeat was a little messed up.
"Touch, the scar in the hair is scary." Hearing Ji Duo's words, Wei Jin tried to touch her hair with bent fingers, and soon felt a clear scar, and he wrinkled slightly Eyebrows, "There are both horizontal and vertical, very long, I can only wear my hair like this, even if I braid it, it will be exposed. But I don't complain, the accident was caused by myself, I was rebellious, I admit it. I told my parents that the operation was very difficult. Even if I survived, it would be difficult to return to the past. I might become demented, paralyzed, or become a vegetable...but I got better. I was sure that I could speak , can move, the doctors call me a 'little miracle'."
Speaking of this, Ji Duo twitched the corner of his mouth, but his eye circles suddenly turned red.She kept grabbing Wei Jin's hand and didn't let go. Wei Jin was too focused on listening to her, and forgot to pull it back in time.
"But after I came back to life, I felt that the whole world had changed. I lost a lot of memories. I don't know how I became like this. The people I thought were friends have alienated me, and I don't know them. People say that I like him. I often fall on the ground, remember the wrong date, recognize the wrong person... I am characterized as a mental disorder. But life still has to live, I don’t want to see my parents cry secretly in the middle of the night, I work very hard to recover my life I use facts to prove to everyone that I am fine and I can live alone. But I am actually very scared. I am afraid of meeting strangers. I am afraid of making mistakes. When people stare at me, I will wonder if I'm confused again...Although I live among the crowd and laugh and laugh every day, I never forgot that I'm different from others, my heart—"
She pointed her other finger to her heart, and finally couldn't help letting out a huge choked sob, and a big tear rolled out of her eyes: "Every moment, I am saying goodbye to this world. I have never really integrated into It, it has never really accepted me. Sometimes when I have insomnia, I can't help but wonder if I was dead at that time, and what is alive now is another me. And you in the dream are my part The fruit of life is only left, but I don’t know if you really exist! So when I think about it, it’s really you...I suddenly feel that I can still be saved, I feel that the old me is still alive...I can’t control it, I Must come to see you right away! I..."
She burst into tears, with layers of tear stains covering her face, shining a different kind of moving luster under the lamp.Until my throat was blocked by tears, I couldn't speak anymore.Ji Duo didn't care at all that she had an obvious snot bubble. She sniffed and wiped her face with the back of her hand.
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry..." Wei Jin moved the hand next to her face, and used his thumb to wipe her tears. At the same time, he stood up, bent down and took out a tissue from the side, and walked away. Going in front of her, put tissues under her eyes with both hands, and said softly, "Don't cry."
The more she heard what he said, the more Ji Duo couldn't stop, she suddenly stretched her arms around Wei Jin's waist, and pressed her face against it.
Weijin froze immediately, maintaining a half-bent posture, not daring to move, unable to put down the tissue with both hands.
But Ji Duo obviously didn't take it seriously, she rubbed her face like a pancake on Weijin's nightgown from side to side.Although she was still sobbing and crying, Wei Jin knew that she would be able to recover soon after she vomited quickly.
"Okay." He raised his palm to cover the back of her head and rubbed it slowly, "You can survive such a dangerous operation, you can work hard to make yourself so beautiful and lively, you are already strong enough. "
Ji Duo, who was about to stop her tears, burst into tears again after hearing his words. She tightened her arms, buried her face deeply, and shouted angrily, "Why are you so annoying..."
Wei Jin looked down at the top of her hair, smiled wryly and shook his head.But there was no smile in his eyes, only a silent moon, Ji Duo's tears gathered in his heart into a crooked stream, bright and clear under the moonlight, beautiful but lonely.
He finally bent down completely and hugged her very lightly.
The sky lighted up completely behind them. After Ji Duo calmed down, the first thing he did was to blow his nose, and the second thing was to touch his stomach, and said to Wei Jin with his swollen eyes: "I hungry."
Weijin opened the curtains, the rain outside did not know when it stopped, but there was water everywhere, the wind was still chilly, the weather yesterday and today were two seasons.
Life is the same as the weather. Yesterday he didn't expect that he would keep a girl overnight, and now he has to take care of her breakfast. He sighed and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Hmm..." Ji Duo thought for a moment, then poked his finger suddenly, like a light bulb popping out, "Little wonton! Let me see if there is any takeaway..."
She was about to take out her mobile phone, Weijin said to her: "Don't order it, the outside is not clean and not tasty. I'll go upstairs to clean it up, and you can go to the third floor of the refrigerator freezer in the kitchen."
After he finished speaking, he went upstairs. Ji Duo didn't know why, so he ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, and found that Weijin's refrigerator really contained everything, including vegetables, fruits, and fish, all neatly arranged in layers, columns, left and right Arranged in order.
"Uncle, are you obsessive-compulsive disorder..." She said to herself.
When Ji Duo opened the third floor of the freezer, he was surprised to find several rows of wrapped wontons on the left half.She randomly found two bowls in the kitchen, squatted there and squeezed out wontons one by one. Her hands were numb from the cold, but her heart was warm.
This uncle is not only obsessive-compulsive, but also a control freak, Ji Duo thought with a smirk.
She dug out the pot in the cabinet, put water in it, and when Wei Jin finished washing and changed her clothes, the wontons were already cooked.He raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, I thought you definitely can't cook."
"It's not very good, but it's still okay to cook it." As he said so, Ji Duo gave up his seat decisively.
"Go wash up, I found you a new toothbrush and new towels, and put them on the sink."
As Weijin spoke, he turned on the exhaust fan of the range hood, and skillfully started beating eggs.
Ji Duo walked to the door of the kitchen, grabbed the door frame and turned around on a sudden whim, and asked behind his back, "I won't cause trouble for you, will I?"
"You have indeed caused me a lot of trouble." Wei Jin glanced at her sideways.
"That's not what I mean, I mean... Are you married? Do you have a regular female companion or something?"
"Personal privacy, no answer."
Ji Duo bounced up and down the stairs, put his hands on top of his head, stretched his waist, and shouted in a long voice: "That's right!"
After the eggs and chicken essence were poured in, the aroma came out. Weijin lowered his head and stirred the pot with a spoon. The hot air hit his face, blurring the smile at the corner of his mouth.
When Ji Duo came down after washing his face and brushing his teeth, except for the swelling in his eyes, his whole body was completely unrecognizable that he was crying an hour ago.Wei Jin didn't know whether it was the knot in her heart that had been untied, or whether she just had the temperament to say that the wind is the rain.
But the five-six-minute hug just now is like a dream when I think about it now.
In addition to a lot of snot and saliva on the clothes, it can actually be regarded as an interesting dream.
"Did you wash my clothes?" There was a small dining table in the kitchen, and Ji Duo sat down and blew on the hot soup in the bowl. She just went up to change clothes, but found that the clothes were spinning in the washing machine, "Then How am I going to go?"
Weijin pushed sliced bread and two bottles of jams with different flavors to her, and said naturally: "They are all damp, and you can't wear them. You can take them back to dry after washing them. You should go to school later work?"
"I made an appointment with someone to talk about things, but it's still early. I'm the boss!"
Ji Duo raised a face expecting to appreciate, but Wei Jin didn't press the question, just said: "Then I'll drive you back after eating."
"Okay!"
The loss only lasted for a fifth of a second, and Ji Duo immediately smiled like a flower.
The two sat facing each other, eating in the dim light of the early morning. The kitchen was small, the furniture was retro in color, and there were some European-style patterns. Although it was square, it gave people the illusion of a circle.Ji Duo took a bite of the wonton, which contained real shrimps. She patted the table and called, "Uncle—can I call you uncle?"
Wei Jin laughed and asked her seriously: "How old are you?"
"24 is old."
"Then I'm 12 years older than you. What do you think should be called?"
Ji Duo counted with her fingers: "12 years old...then you are 36 years old." She held her chin and nodded seriously, "So this is what a 36-year-old man looks like. I've decided, I'll call you from now on Uncle!"
Obviously thought so from the beginning.Thinking to himself, Wei Jin knocked on the side of the bowl: "Eat quickly."
"Uncle, I recalled it, it seems that no one has had breakfast with me for a long time."
After being reminded by her like this, Wei Jin also became dazed, and he hadn't had breakfast with anyone for a long time.How long has it been?Seems longer than ten years.
He suddenly raised his eyelids and stared at Ji Duo who was rubbing jam across his face, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart.But Ji Duo immediately added: "But it seems like I haven't had breakfast for a long time."
Wei Jin lowered his head again and secretly smiled.Laugh at yourself, what comfort do you find in a little girl.He didn't care about it long ago, and he didn't need the comfort that companionship could bring.
"Uncle, can I come here often to play with you in the future?"
"better not."
Ji Duo pouted: "Then can I come and eat? I'll pay for the meal."
"Better not to."
"Why don't you be so stingy!" After drinking the soup in the bowl in one go, Ji Duo angrily put the bowl on the table, "Isn't it just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks!"
"Because..." Weijin had a headache, and subconsciously stroked his eyebrows, "I don't think you'll be so obedient, you only come here at mealtime."
Silenced, Ji Duo rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at Wei Jin.
After dinner, Weijin drove Ji Duo home.Ji Duo went out wearing men's home clothes. Fortunately, there were not many passers-by in the parking place, so she got into the co-pilot like a thief, and immediately closed the door. The 10,000+ car is not considered luxurious, but the interior is quite bluffing. Ji Duo looked around and said, "I didn't expect you to save some money just by repairing watches."
"As you get older, you will always have some money." Wei Jin said as he wanted to start the car, and when he tilted his head, he saw that Ji Duo was not wearing a seat belt. He sighed, stood up reluctantly, leaned over, and grabbed the seat belt. seat belt.The suddenly shortened distance speeded up Ji Duo's heartbeat inexplicably, she only felt a shadow and temperature drifting over, occupying all her sight, she didn't know where to put her eyes, she glanced at Wei Jin's collarbone hastily, He quickly lowered his head, and the roots of his ears began to heat up.
Weijin put her seat belt in, started the car, looked at the side mirror and said, "I've been in a car accident and didn't pay attention to safety."
"Oh……"
She glanced at Wei Jin angrily, and said to herself, can't you keep my girlish heart for a while longer?
The car drove all the way to the downstairs of Ji Duo's residence, during which Weijin drove quietly, without meeting her eyes at all.So Ji Duo didn't hide anything, whether he was answering the phone or sending messages, he always stared at Wei Jin.
In fact, Weijin is not indifferent, there is always a line of sight from the side, which cannot be ignored at all.But the more so, the more he couldn't turn his head to look, because as long as he turned his head, he would definitely bump into it.
He knew what kind of creature the little girl was, impulsive, fanciful, ready to catch fire, and he didn't want to fuel this unrealistic flame.
"Go up." Taking the bag containing Ji Duo's clothes from the back of the car seat and stuffing it into her arms, Wei Jin couldn't help telling, "Go back and hang it up immediately to smooth out the wrinkles."
"understood."
Ji Duo opened the door slowly, turned her head again, looked at Wei Jin reluctantly, but didn't think about what to say.So he got out of the car like this, but his hand kept holding on to the door, unwilling to close it.She stood outside the door, bent over to face the inside, and said to Wei Jin hesitantly: "Well... what I said at night..."
"Did you drink too much, and said a lot of messy things, I don't even remember." Wei Jin answered her first.
"Uncle is the best!"
She jumped back a small step happily and closed the car door.She hugged her clothes and watched Wei Jin's car drive away, knowing that he might not see it, but she kept smiling and waving.
She hated parting very much.If she suffers from this kind of illness, it is very likely that she will forget what happened, or even what is happening now.When the university was about to graduate, Ji Duo was confused once, her date was misplaced for three days, she had no idea where those three days went, and all the people and things in those three days were wiped clean.So Ji Duo will not be happy because of the acquaintance, because the boundary between acquaintance and parting has become too blurred.It can be said that the acquaintance becomes insignificant, then the parting is always in progress.So Ji Duo is tired of all the solemn farewell scenes, and he doesn't even want to see that kind of scenes in TV dramas.But this time, she watched Weijin's car leave and watched the chaotic night fade away, but she didn't feel any frustration or helplessness. After a long time, the ship finally docked.
"Dodo! I'm coming!"
Just as Ji Duo was jumping up and down the stairs, a figure behind the door suddenly rushed towards her.She knew who it was just by hearing the voice, rolled her huge eyes, and sprinted for two steps, making Lu Haiyang's gesture of hugging her shoulders in vain.
"Duoduo! I've come all the way, don't treat me like this!" Lu Haiyang, carrying a huge mountaineering bag, chased Ji Duo to the elevator entrance, and said quickly, "By the way, what are you doing?" Dressed like this, are these men's clothes? Whose car is that that brought you back just now? Talk to me!"
After entering the door, Ji Duo immediately went to dry the clothes, ignoring the chattering Lu Haiyang behind him.There is no way, and she doesn't want to treat an old classmate like this, but she knows that Lu Haiyang will shine brightly if he is given a little sunshine, and if he smiles, he will think that he can get married tomorrow.
"Duoduo, look, I've dyed my hair like this." Lu Haiyang said flamboyantly, grabbing his grandma's gray hair that was covered with hairspray.
"You are too dark for this color."
Ji Duo glanced at him, and shook his head unbearably, it's called fashion on people's heads that are translucently white and has a pointed chin, and it's called young white heads on people with dark faces like Lu Haiyang.
"Why did you run away again?"
Ever since Ji Duo decided to live in Shanghai, Lu Haiyang has been coming here almost once a month, nicknamed Cha Gang, and of course Ji Duo would reply to him every now and then: Get out.
However, this time Lu Haiyang lay down on her beanbag sofa, patted on her backpack, and said, "I found a job in Shanghai, so I won't leave this time!"
Ji Duo petrified instantly with his mouth open, and his face turned pale in a flash.
Seemingly satisfied with her reaction, Lu Haiyang crossed his legs provocatively.
But Lu Haiyang didn't know that at the moment when he had a premonition that big trouble was coming, what appeared in Ji Duo's mind was Wei Jin's face, so clear that it made her feel like a dream.
"It's my boyfriend who sent me back just now." She said calmly to Lu Haiyang, "The clothes on me belong to him too. I stayed at his place last night."
This time it was Lu Haiyang's turn to change his face, he immediately became irritable, stood up angrily, stared at Ji Duo, and his backpack fell to the ground with a bang.
Ji Duo raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.It stands to reason that she is very familiar with him, but at this moment she still feels only strange.
Lu Haiyang was her first love.It was also the culprit of the car accident that nearly killed her and completely changed her life.
If you have to define the relationship between Ji Duo and Lu Haiyang, it is definitely not love.At that special age, Lu Haiyang was a tool for her to express her rebellious attitude towards life.Although Ji Duo still doesn't understand what love is like, at least she knows that she won't like someone like Lu Haiyang.
Ji Duo was born in a very stable family. His parents are both intellectuals and they both have good jobs. The financial conditions are not as good as above, but more than enough.As if God didn't want to see them go so well, Ji Duo, who was born rebellious, was born, and she became the biggest trouble in the family.
The expectations placed on her by her parents are infinite, and they take the trouble to send her to develop hobbies, but whether it is painting, musical instruments, dancing... She has no interest in all of them, and she will be dismissed by the teacher within three classes.She was undeniably shrewd, and knew exactly what to do to drive teachers to their knees and parents to give up hope.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a specialty. After entering elementary school, her parents have been staring at Ji Duo's homework non-stop, but her academic performance has always been average, and she has always been in the middle of the grade ranking. She seems to be very satisfied with this, completely Don't want to try harder.This caused her parents a lot of headaches. If she really lacks ability, there is nothing to say, but Ji Duo is unwilling to use all her strength. She only spends about 50.00% of her energy on studying, and the remaining 50.00% is used by her. Get into trouble.
She has been a very assertive child since she was a child, and she never discusses with anyone what she decides.When I was in elementary school, I bought a game console with the money that should be handed over to the teacher for a spring outing, and went to class every day as usual, without showing any guilt.On the day of the spring outing, she happily packed her schoolbag. When her parents left the school, she wandered outside for a whole day, and then returned to the school gate at night, pretending to come back with everyone.This matter has been kept a secret for more than a year, until her mother chatted with other parents at a parents' meeting and found out by chance.At that time, Ji Duo's parents thought with great fear, it's over, this child can't control it anymore.
Sure enough, when Ji Duo arrived in junior high school, he felt that he had grown up and behaved more unscrupulously.She has a clear mind and will keep her grades in the middle so the teacher doesn't pick on her.However, at that time, Ji Duo's spare time life was extremely rich. She went shopping with girls and played games with boys.
Appearance is already a girl, but the mind is still a child's age, Ji Duo began to follow the trend to wear clothes with large necklines and skirts above the knee, began to buy cheap cosmetics, and put on makeup that is not as beautiful as a plain face.In those few years, Ji Duo's parents were in shock every day, and it was completely impossible to predict what would happen to her when she came back today. She might have dyed her hair suddenly, or had her ears pierced again.There have been quarrels and quarrels countless times, but children in the rebellious period have their own outlook on life, and they can't expect to understand each other at all.Ji Duo's teacher commented on her: smart, lively and cheerful, very popular, and has leadership skills, not bad nature, but too selfish.For Ji Duo's parents, the only comfort at that time was that Ji Duo had no signs of puppy love.
As a result, not long after the first year of high school, Lu Haiyang appeared.Lu Haiyang is the type of boy that girls' parents don't like the most, and the word "dangerous" is written both on the outside and inside.Dyeing a head of yellow hair, he walks carelessly, his grades are at the bottom, and he drives a clumsy motorcycle at a young age.But Lu Haiyang's facial features are fairly well-rounded. He is tall and good at sports. He is the main force of the basketball team. His skin exudes healthy vitality, which is very attractive to girls of that age.There are many girls who like him in school, but he only likes Ji Duo.
At first, Ji Duo didn't promise Lu Haiyang anything, and they maintained a relationship as ordinary friends, but after Lu Haiyang drove her home several times, her parents couldn't sit still.However, for girls in the rebellious period, parents intervening in relationship problems is like pressing the detonator.
In order to promote her independent consciousness and prove her determination to pursue free love, she deliberately opposed her parents and got closer and closer to Lu Haiyang.On the surface, they are a couple, and the two of them also acquiesced in this relationship, but they didn't do anything out of bounds.
I have to admit that Ji Duo and Lu Haiyang were very happy together at that time. They drove motorcycles together, skipped classes to watch basketball games together, and went exploring in abandoned unfinished buildings together. Everything they did together was very exciting. .But whenever Lu Haiyang wants to have a more intimate move, even if it's just a hug, Ji Duo can't help but avoid it.She didn't know whether she still had her parents' good baby side in her heart, or if she just felt uncomfortable.
But in front of her parents, Ji Duo's mouth was very hard, she said boldly that she just likes Lu Haiyang and wants to be with him.Later, when the former she completely disappeared, and the surviving soul was completely reconciled with her parents. She realized where her crux was. In the final analysis, it was because she felt that she was not good enough, and that this life was destined to be mediocre. To meet the expectations of her parents, that's why she wanted to make herself stand out. She wanted to prove that even if she didn't live like her parents, and didn't succeed in becoming a talent, she could at least be happier as a mediocre person.
However, at the age of 17 when the third year of high school was approaching, Ji Duo's parents decided to restrict her behavior. They tried to separate her from Lu Haiyang with a lot of advanced classes, pick-up and drop-off by car, and even lock the door.No one expected that Lu Haiyang would come up with a strange trick. He tied a ladder to the motorcycle and drove directly to the downstairs of Ji Duo's improvement class.As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the good students gathered around the teacher to ask questions in front of the podium. Ji Duo jumped out from the window on the second floor under the eyes of everyone, stepped on the ladder and jumped directly onto Lu Haiyang's motorcycle.Before leaving, she kicked down the ladder, and with a bang, she chased the teachers and classmates from the first and second floors to the window to watch her.
At that time, her father was waiting to pick her up outside the advanced class. When the teacher notified her, she had already disappeared.Dad called her, and her heart was still pounding because of the excitement, and she shouted into the phone: "Don't look for me! We eloped!"
The accident happened only in a blink of an eye, and Ji Duo didn't pay attention to whether Lu Haiyang ran the red light at that time. In short, when a huge truck turned from the opposite side, they dodged to one side, but bumped into another car behind.The motorcycle lost control at the intersection, spun twice and threw them both out, and the car slid directly under the truck, leaving it horribly damaged.The motorcycle only has one helmet, which Lu Haiyang wears, while Ji Duo doesn't even have any protective gear on him.
At that time, there was chaos all around, all the cars stopped, there were many rear-end collisions, brakes and horns blared, but she didn't hear anything. After the first impact on the head, only tinnitus remained. .
How could she know that she almost rolled over the hood of Weijin's car at that time, but fortunately rolled twice after landing, Weijin braked the car tightly, so as not to complete a fatal blow to her.
But Weijin couldn't be sure for a while whether he bumped into her, so he was the only one who didn't avoid suspicion and ran forward to check her condition.He tried calling a few times, but Ji Duo opened his eyes, but there was no response, so he quickly dialed 120.
Later, both the police and 120 came. Weijin cooperated with the police to do some investigations, and after proving that he was not at fault, he left.Ji Duo only left a slightly deeper memory in his world, how could he know that he would become a vital symbol in Ji Duo's life.In the last few seconds before her consciousness left, Ji Duo didn't think of Lu Haiyang at all, she just thought, this man is so good-looking.
If Ji Duo had died then Wei Jin would have become the last person she had ever seen in her life.But Ji Duo didn't die, so Weijin became the beginning of her new life.
A person hidden in the depths of the soul, as if the cells and blood of the whole body are working hard, a person who is unwilling to forget.
But from the moment Ji Duo woke up, Lu Haiyang became a stranger.She was in a coma for a long time after the operation, and it took a long time to regain some vitality. At first, everyone just knew that she didn't remember the accident. This is a normal situation.But when she suddenly asked her mother what day it was and how long it was before the senior high school entrance examination, the parents and doctors realized that she had forgotten more.
Although her parents told her what happened in the past few years in as much detail as possible, listening to other people's stories will always be just a story. Ji Duo wants to recall like a dead end, but it causes a splitting headache.Except for a dream of a car accident, she has nothing left. Naturally, she has no hatred for Lu Haiyang.
Before she found out that Ji Duo was forgotten, her parents had already had a serious fight with Lu Haiyang's parents, and complained about Lu Haiyang many times in front of her. She knew from the eavesdropped words that her parents were real at that time They wanted to sue Lu Haiyang, because they really couldn't accept that Lu Haiyang only wore a helmet for himself.
But in the end, Ji Duo asked his parents to give up the idea, and the Lu family paid part of the medical expenses, so the matter was over.Because she learned the truth from the teacher of the advanced class who was visiting the doctor, and she knew that Lu Haiyang couldn't be blamed for it.She escaped, so it's normal that she didn't remember the helmet.She didn't think about it, and Lu Haiyang certainly didn't think about it either.Maybe it's fate, this is what should have happened in her life.But it was a blessing in disguise that the relationship between her and her parents has improved a lot, and she also promised her parents that she will not be entangled with Lu Haiyang in the future.
Anyway, she already knew the cause and effect in her heart, she just remembered the name "Lu Haiyang", she couldn't even remember her face, so she couldn't even mention her feelings.
Just as her condition gradually stabilized and she was about to be discharged from the hospital, Lu Haiyang finally found a chance to visit her in the ward.Lu Haiyang was also seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. He had already been discharged from the hospital, but he still couldn't find a chance to slip out.This accident also had a great impact on Lu Haijia, not only Ji Duo's medical expenses, but also the problems of other vehicles.Although Lu Haiyang didn't say it, Ji Duo guessed that Lu Haiyang's parents must also blame her. If he hadn't gone to find her, his family wouldn't have had this innocent disaster.
The only person who can't see the reality clearly is Lu Haiyang.
Lu Haiyang lingered in the hospital for a long time, confirmed that Ji Duo's parents were not there, and then sneaked into the ward.At that time, Ji Duo was reading a book and didn't pay attention to him until he heard him timidly calling: "Duo Duo..."
Ji Duo turned to look at him without any impression, wondering which male classmate this is, hesitantly muttered: "You are..."
Seeing her expression and hearing her question, Lu Haiyang's eyes widened, and he was stunned for three seconds before rushing to her bed, scratching his neck and yelling, "Have you lost your memory?"
Seeing his reaction, Ji Duo guessed who he was, but still didn't feel the truth, and called timidly: "Lu Haiyang?"
"I heard that you forgot some things, but I didn't expect you to forget me." Lu Haiyang sat on the edge of the bed and felt aggrieved.
Looking at Lu Haiyang's face up close, Ji Duo's doubts intensified. She was sure that Lu Haiyang was not the type she liked.Although she didn't know what type she liked at that time, she felt that Lu Haiyang was really not attractive to her.
Although Lu Haiyang was good-looking, and he was considered above average in the crowd, but after that, Lu Haiyang was no longer special in Ji Duo's eyes. Zhang, a certain male number three in the TV series... they look similar, and they don't leave any impression when they turn around.
"Yeah, I completely forgot about the things we got along with before. So, let's not meet again in the future." Ji Duo said to Lu Haiyang with a smile.
She thought that everyone could tacitly say that after this kind of thing happened, it would be difficult to be ordinary friends again, and it would be good for everyone not to see the two families face each other.She really thought that Lu Haiyang was here to say goodbye to her, but after hearing her words, a grown boy actually started crying.
"Sorry, I know you blame me..."
"No, that's not what I meant!" There were other people in the ward, and Ji Duo felt ashamed, so she waved her hands in panic, "To be honest, I really can't blame you, because I don't remember you!"
"Then why don't you want to see me?"
"I……"
It's just an endless loop.Ji Duo couldn't make Lu Haiyang understand the feeling of amnesia, and she couldn't understand the sense of dislocation in Lu Haiyang's heart.People who were playmates one day, left themselves as adults the next day.
Fortunately, Ji Duo's father came back at this time, and unceremoniously drove out Lu Haiyang who was still weeping. Before the door was closed, Ji Duo heard him shout: "Duo Duo, I will not give up!"
Ji Duo shook his head helplessly.In her heart, she had already drawn a clear line with Lu Haiyang at that time.
But no, seven years have passed since then, and Lu Haiyang has not disappeared from her life.Later, when she came to Shanghai to study and start a business, Lu Haiyang never stopped chasing her.Ji Duo watched idol dramas before, and whenever there was an episode of amnesia, the protagonist seemed to never completely forget his lover. If she had really loved deeply, she always felt that there should be a seed buried in her heart.
But she couldn't feel it at all. Although Lu Haiyang chased after him fiercely and vowed how good their relationship was before, Ji Duo could only believe that. After all, outsiders can't say well about relationships.
In short, the current situation is that she and Lu Haiyang can chat to death within three sentences, but Lu Haiyang still swears that she will not marry in this life.
Marry a ghost!At this moment, Ji Duo looked at Lu Haiyang who was standing in front of him furiously, and only wanted him to disappear from his front as quickly as possible.
To be honest, even if they had feelings after the accident, they all became debts. If she really wanted to blame her, she would eventually have a reason to blame her.Fortunately, she forgot that she couldn't even get angry, so she always thought that she could just smile away her grudges.If Lu Haiyang can be quiet, it's not that she can't be friends, put aside love, after all, there are still friends, classmates, and even the friendship of life and death.But Ji Duo's thoughts of muddling along were almost exhausted by Lu Haiyang's nonsense.
"Who is that man? When did you meet?" Lu Haiyang yelled.
"Who he is has nothing to do with you." Ji Duo turned on the computer, stared at the screen, and no longer looked at him, "It's up to you if you want to work in Shanghai, but don't say you're here for me, I don't have time to accompany you."
"I don't believe it! I must know who that man is!"
After speaking, Lu Haiyang picked up the bag on the ground, closed the door quickly and left.
Ji Duo tilted her head and stared nervously at the door. After waiting for about 3 minutes, she made sure that Lu Haiyang would not turn back again. When she rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth immediately turned into an upward arc. She grabbed the phone and dialed Xiaoqiu's number. Can't stop muttering: "Quick, quick, quick..."
It kept ringing until it was about to hang up automatically, then Xiaoqiu picked up the phone, opened her mouth and cursed: "Ji Duo, you are going to die, you know what will happen if you call me in the morning!"
"I'm sorry, I know you are a nocturnal animal, but I have a reason." Ji Duo spoke faster, "Are you at home or in the store now?"
"In the shop."
"Lu Haiyang should go find you now."
There was a turning sound from the other end of the phone, and Xiao Qiu's voice suddenly became clear: "What is he doing here?"
"He told me that he found a job in Shanghai and was going to take root here! Do you know what that means? I can't get rid of him anymore! So I told him that I had a boyfriend as soon as I was anxious." Thinking of Weijin, Ji Duo looked down at the clothes he hadn't had time to change, and couldn't help laughing, "He definitely doesn't believe it, so he'll go over and ask you now."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Ji Duo twisted the corner of his clothes and said, "No... just said it casually. However, if he asks you, you just say yes. He is an uncle in his 30s. He is super handsome and stylish. He has a car and a house. Anyway, you make up whatever you want. .”
Xiaoqiu chuckled a few times, and said eccentrically, "That's not right, Ji Duo, you obviously have someone to choose for you? You wouldn't be with that uncle who repairs watches..."
"Oops! No! I, I, I... have to talk to the factory! I'm dead!"
"Wait, let's talk about it first, can I solve it anyway?" There was a nail grinding voice on the receiver, "You know I have a bad temper, if he fights with me, I can find someone to beat him out , or can we call the police and arrest him?"
"what ever!"
"It's fine with your words."
Putting down the phone, Ji Duo stretched her arms and fell back on the sofa in a big shape. The past night was replaying in her mind over and over again. She folded her hands and rubbed her face vigorously. What could not be dispelled was a little shame and a smile all over her face .
