Although Yun Jingting was sitting in his office, to be honest, he was a little distracted. He kept thinking about whether his sister had found out about Mi Xaing 'er's whereabouts.
When it was almost time to get off work, Yun Jingqi called. "Little Brother, when are you free tonight?"
"Hmm?" Yun Jingting did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Sis, where is Mi Xaing 'er's address?"
Yun Jingqi was probably unhappy with her brother's anxiousness. She raised her voice slightly. "I'm asking you when you're free."
"Tell me! I'm free anytime! "
"Then come over now!"
Yun Jingting frowned. "Did you drink?"
"Then come over now!"
"Okay, okay! Don't shout! Where are you? I'll go over now! "
Yun Jingqi's voice was a little erratic over the phone. She dragged her last syllable. "Where else can I be? Of course I'm at Dad's place. I'm at home in the military district! "
Yun Jingting hesitated … He did not want to go over. "Who's at home?"
"It's me! It's me! " Yun Jingqi raised her voice and retorted impatiently. "This is your home. We're all your family. Who can eat you up?"
Yun Laohu could tell that she was a little drunk. He did not want to lower himself to her level and nodded. "Wait here. I'll be right there!"
He was a smart person and already had a bad feeling … It was not common for his sister to get drunk. The only reason was that she had been humiliated by Tong Che.
After he put down the phone, he immediately tidied up his desk and went straight to his father's house.
When he entered, the housekeeper stood by the door and gestured to the dining room. "Tiger, you're finally back! I don't know what happened to Jing Qi. After she came home with red eyes, she sat in her room for half the afternoon. Just now, she went to the dining room to drink. No one could persuade her to stop. I think she's a little drunk now! "
"Okay! Got it! "
Yun Laohu slowly walked into the dining room and looked up … Yun Jingqi was sitting at the big dining table. She was wearing a fiery red turtleneck sweater and her eyes were a little blurry as if she couldn't focus. When she looked at people, she had a silly smile on her face and her cheeks were redder than the sweater.
Looking at the table again … there was a cup of Wuliangye and half a plate of peanuts in front of her. She held a small wine cup in her hand and was sipping from it.
Yun Laohu quickly walked over and snatched the wine cup away. She slammed it on the table. "Sis, what are you doing!"
Yun Jingqi grabbed her brother's hand and leaned her head against his abdominal muscles. Her voice was choked with sobs. "Tiger, I'm sorry!"
"What's wrong? Hmm? " Yun Jingting felt a little distressed. She helped her up, poured a cup of warm water, and brought it to her sister's lips. "Here! Don't drink anymore, let's talk slowly! "
Speak slowly?
Talk about what?
When he saw the situation, he understood and immediately comforted her, "Sis, you don't have to be sorry to me! Didn't Brother Tong tell you where Mi Xaing 'er lives? It's okay, we can find out later! I can find Mi Xaing 'er even if I don't ask for help. I just have to wait for a day or two. I've waited for two years, can't I wait for another two days? "
Yun Jingqi had a bitter smile on her face. When she spoke, she was a little tongue-tied. "Don't lie to me! Don't I know you? You have to make it sound nice! You can wait? You can wait? In fact, if you could wait, would you have asked me to ask Tong Che? You're more anxious than anyone to see Mi Xaing 'er! "
To ease the atmosphere, Yun Laohu narrowed her eyes and smiled. She put one hand on her waist and said, "Oh, I don't think you're drunk! You're still very clear! That's right, I'm anxious to see Mi Xaing 'er! That's normal, right? She's my wife, and I haven't seen her in two years … "
Yun Jingqi did not wait for him to finish. "You saw her from afar, right? Brother, tell me about it! Has she changed? Has she gained weight? Or has she lost weight? "
She still cared about her sister-in-law because she knew that she was pregnant when she left. Her heart ached for her!
Yun Jingting stopped smiling. Suddenly, the slim figure in front of the bus stop appeared in front of his eyes. His thoughts instantly returned to the morning light when they "met."
His tone involuntarily became gentle. "Her? She's changed! She doesn't wear braids anymore. She's combed her hair to her ears, and she looks very energetic! She's a little thinner, but she's still so beautiful, just as beautiful as before! "
He pulled out a chair and sat at the table, facing his sister. "Sis, I'm very excited when I think about seeing Mi Xaing 'er soon … That's why I asked you to beg Tong Che. Maybe I didn't think it through. I'm sorry for making you sad!"
He grabbed Yun Jingqi's wine glass, tilted his head back, and downed the highly concentrated Wuliangye in one gulp.
Yun Jingqi did not expect her brother to apologize so formally. She sat up straight, supported her chin with one hand, and tapped the table with the other to increase her tone of voice.
Although she was a little drunk, she understood. "Brother, it's not your fault. To be honest, when I heard that Mi Xaing 'er was back, I also wanted to know her whereabouts immediately! Although she left at that time, in our hearts … she's still our closest family member. Who doesn't care about their family? "
Yun Laohu held his sister's hand across the table … He was touched by her words of love, but he was a very strong man and did not like emotional confessions. He gathered all his emotions in his heart and rarely confessed.
He narrowed his eyes and went straight to the point. "Sis, what did Brother Tong say? Why are you so sad? "
Yun Jingqi was the closest to her brother. Now that she had drunk some wine, she could not help but say some things that she usually did not want to say. It was as if she finally had a place to vent the difficulties in her heart all these years. She might as well let it all out. "Brother, do you think … do you think … Tong Che likes Tian Xiner? I mean … the kind of love between a man and a woman? I … I don't have any hope, do I? "
This …
Yun Laohu was a little troubled and did not know how to answer. She quietly poured herself another glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Yun Jingqi continued, "When I went over today, guess what Tong Che said to me? He said … he can't make things difficult for Xiao Tian Xin. If the Tian Xiner thinks it's right, he will support it! "
Yun Jingting gently patted the back of her sister's hand to comfort her. "He's not wrong! They have a good relationship. This … Don't you know the reason? Brother Tong is a very gentlemanly person. The Tian family handed their daughter over to him, so of course he has to do his best to take care of her! If it were me, I would do the same! "
"That's different! I keep feeling that it's different! It's been two years. I've been chasing after Tong Che, but he hasn't moved at all. Why is that? What does the Tian Xiner's marriage have to do with whether he marries me or not? Unless … unless he's waiting for me to grow up and become my husband! "
Yun Jingting did not say anything!
How should she say it?
What should she say?
Only the person involved would understand matters of the heart.
He was not a talkative person. Things like making wild guesses about other people's "marriage" … he could not say it out loud.
He lowered his head and slowly poured himself another glass of wine. He tilted his head back and downed it … The spicy liquid flowed down quickly, as if it could wash away the sadness and worries in his heart.
Yun Jingqi wanted to snatch the wine glass, but Yun Laohu glared at her and blocked her with her arm. "You can't drink anymore. If you drink again … I won't talk to you anymore! I'll carry you to the bed and let you sleep properly! "
He paused for a moment. "Sis, let me put it bluntly. You're too contradictory. Your ego is too strong, and you can't let go of your pride to chase after Tong Che …"
Yun Jingqi did not wait for him to finish speaking. "What pride do I have? I just feel that I don't have the right! "
She patted her chest with one hand. "I feel guilty because I didn't leave with Tong Che back then. That's why I haven't been able to let go of it! But at that time, Dad locked me at home and sent Little Five to watch over me for seven days. He didn't let me go out for seven days and tried his best to persuade me. That's why I … sigh! It's useless to talk about this anymore. At the end of the day, I was still too young! "
She took a deep breath. "If it were now, I would have risked my life to leave with him! People who have experienced separation and come to terms with the world will know that … the most important thing is to help each other in difficult times. I'm guessing that the feelings you have for Mi Xaing 'er now are not just pure love. There's also heartache and kindred spirit. This is something that no one can replace, and it will never be replaced. "
"…"
"It's because I wasn't around at that time and the kindred spirit who was by Tong Che's side was Tian Xiner … That's why I couldn't chase after him with all my might. Chasing after him is all about fate and he has to like you. Otherwise … it would have been a pitiful tragedy."
Yun Laohu felt that the topic and atmosphere were a little too heavy. She scratched her forehead with her hand. "No! Just because Brother Tong didn't tell you where Mi Xaing 'er is, you're getting so emotional? Sis, don't worry too much. I think he likes you! He and Tian Xiner are like siblings. After all, there's such a big age gap between them … "
"It's hard to say when it comes to relationships. You're ten years older than Mi Xaing 'er and you already have a child …" Yun Jingqi wasn't drunk to the point where she didn't know anything. She immediately changed her words. "Don't you also have plans to have a child?"
Yun Laohu didn't notice the difference in her words. She laughed casually. "That's why I'm a soldier. I don't have time and energy to guess what the other party is thinking. My experience with love is … to end it quickly! Once it's a fact, even if she doesn't want to … it's a fact! "
Yun Jingqi spat at him. "Bah! How can you say that? Don't you find it embarrassing? Don't show off the way you chased after Mi Xaing 'er … It's embarrassing! "
"What's there to be embarrassed about? This is the simplest and most direct way. Sis, I advise you … you should also find a chance to ask Brother Tong out and have a deep talk! "
Yun Jingqi understood what he was implying. She stood up and said, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore! You're talking nonsense. Let me ask you … if Mi Xaing 'er doesn't want to reconcile with you or have a deep talk with you, what will you do? Will you force her? Will you carry her home? Will it be a fact? "
"Mi Xaing 'er and I are different! She's my wife. This is a fact, and no one can change it! If she can't accept me, I won't force her. For this kind of thing … there's no use in forcing her. I'll slowly grind with her. She can't run away anyway! "
Oh!
Slowly grind?
You've already made up your mind!
Yun Jingqi nodded. "It's good that you have the attitude to fight a protracted battle!"
She was still a little worried, so she reminded him, "But let me tell you … Mi Xiang 'er has come back this time. Whether it's her situation or her status, she's different from before. She's no longer an 18-year-old village girl. Don't be so smug! If Mi Xaing 'er doesn't want to see you, there must be a reason. Don't be too aggressive and make her angry! "
Yun Jingting replied gruffly, "I know. She's my wife. I can't wait to dote on her. Why would I make her angry?"
"It's good that you know …"
Before Yun Jingqi could finish speaking, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. The housekeeper quickly ran to pick it up. After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard upstairs. Then, there was the sound of rummaging upstairs.
The Yun siblings were stunned …
What was going on?
Yun Jingqi walked out of the living room quickly. Her footsteps were a little weak, but she didn't fall or couldn't walk. "Auntie Jiang, Auntie Jiang … who called? What happened? "
Jiang Yumei quickly poked her head out from the stairs. "Ah! It's Dr. Shen. She said … Tingting got into a car accident and she's in the military hospital. She asked me to go over and take care of her immediately. She also asked me to bring a few changes of clothes. "
Ah?
A car accident?
Yun Jingqi immediately asked, "Is it serious? How's her condition? "
"I didn't ask for the details, but it doesn't seem like her life is in danger!"
"Oh!" Yun Jingqi quietly looked at her brother. "Tiger, shouldn't we go over and take a look? After all, Tingting is Auntie Shen's daughter! "
Yun Laohu immediately waved his hand. "Whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going! Sis, I have a feeling that Jiang Tingting is a little crazy, especially when it comes to Mi Xaing 'er … Forget it! Let's not talk about this anymore! "
He was a cautious person … What was the use of speaking nonsense without any aim? He could only complain, dawdle, and speculate. As a man, Yun Laohu despised these. What he wanted was evidence. Once he had evidence, he could launch a strong counterattack.
Yun Jingqi understood her brother's temper. She knew that he did not have a good impression of Jiang Tingting, so she did not insist. "Then I'll go over and take a look! I can't pretend that I don't know! "
Yun Laohu frowned. "You've had some wine. It's best if you don't go out!"
"It's okay! I didn't drink much. I'll go after chewing two tea leaves! "
After saying this, he really went upstairs to change his clothes and was about to go to the hospital with Jiang Yumei.
Before he left, he did not forget to remind his brother, "Tiger, Tong Che will send 200 yuan to Mi Xaing 'er. I think this should be enough for her to spend for the time being, so don't worry about it! Anyway, we won't let her suffer any losses, right? "
He turned around and left.
After she went to the hospital, there was no one at home. Yun Laohu simply returned to his residence in the military district … to arrange to look for Mi Xaing 'er.
**
In the corridor of the hospital …
Yun Jingqi whispered to Shen Xiaofeng, "Auntie Shen, I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. How's Tingting now? Is it serious? "
Shen Xiaofeng sighed deeply and leaned weakly against the wall. His eyes were drooping and his face was pale. He looked listless. "Jingqi, Tingting's condition is not good!"
"Hmm?"
"Her life is not in danger! But the comminuted knee fracture … I've seen the film. Even if she recovers in the future, I'm afraid she won't be able to dance! Jing Qi, dancing is Tingting's career. It's everything that she's always been proud of! Can't dance anymore? That's equivalent to taking away half of Tingting's life! "
"…"
"Poor thing! She's lying in bed now, but she's still grabbing my hand and asking, 'Mom, will it be okay for me to report to the chief in the capital this time?' My heart aches when I hear that. She can't even stand up. Can she still dance? She's asking the obvious. She's unwilling to give up and face reality. After all, this is the goal she's always been looking forward to! "
Yun Jingqi also felt that it was particularly sudden. She really could not accept this fact all of a sudden. "Auntie Shen, you mean … Tingting won't be able to perform again in the future?"
"She can't! I'm afraid she won't even be able to retire and teach anymore! She's already said goodbye to dancing forever. "
Yun Jingqi did not know how to persuade her, so she could only say something irrelevant. "… Then how did the car accident happen?"
Shen Xiaofeng did not answer. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Jingqi, Tingting is in a very bad mood now. She's also extremely depressed. I'm thinking … Can I get the tiger to come over and take a look at her? Even if it's just a look and not a word, Tingting will feel like she has a goal in life again. You know, Tingting and the tiger … "
Before she could finish speaking, Hsu Mingwei came out of the ward and suddenly stood behind the two of them. His voice was not loud, but his tone was firm. "I don't agree!"
Huh?
Yun Jingqi was stunned. She did not understand what he meant.
Hsu Mingwei raised his chin and turned to Shen Xiaofeng. "Director Shen, I don't agree to let Tingting see Yun Jingting again. As her man …"
Shen Xiaofeng hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him and looked around … In that era, it was very despicable to have sex before marriage. "Hsu Mingwei, don't talk nonsense. My daughter is a pure and innocent young lady!"
Hsu Mingwei narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Why would I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? Tingting and I are already a fait accompli … "
----- Digression —
A: (Tiger): When can we meet Yueming?
Jiuyue: Ha … Who's Yueming?
Zhou Zhou: Don't play dumb. The tiger and the rice are about to meet … They want to eat meat!
Jiuyue: Uh, didn't the tiger already say it? Want … slow! Slow! Grind!
