Picking the stars - Chapter 99

If you just go to West Africa to do research, you will not be infected with the virus.

They get the highest level of protection and the best protective equipment. Although there is war in the area, attacking them is quite troublesome. Neither the government nor the rebels want to make extravagances, and no one comes to the research base.

Pei Ji contracted the virus because she saved a little girl.

Pei Ji raised his hand and touched Song Ye’s eyes. Her tears were hot and wet, and they wetted her fingertips. She wiped Song Ye’s tears and said, “It was an accident.”

But Song Yi still regretted.

Pei Ji understands her regrets, and if it were her, he would regret and blame herself, but Pei Ji has never blamed Song Er for this matter, and does not feel that going to West Africa is directly related to the infection.

“I saved a little girl by myself to get the virus, and the result was good. Both me and she recovered.” Pei Ji comforted Song Wei. She was sincerely happy when she said that they were all recovered.

The little girl is only six or seven years old, she still has a long and beautiful life, and she can come back to see her beloved.

“Don’t cry, it’s actually a good thing.” Pei Ji continued to comfort.

But Song Er couldn’t restrain his emotions. As long as he thought that Pei Ji might not come back, he might die alone in West Africa, Song Ye could not forgive himself.

Pei Ji stretched out his hand and covered her eyes, as if this would prevent Song Wei from crying.

Pei Ji was very afraid of Song Wei’s tears. She felt that the wet tears on her palms seemed to burn her heart.

She no longer comforted Song Er because she found it was useless. She straightened up, knelt by the bed, leaned over and kissed Song Er’s eyes. The tears were salty, and Pei Ji’s lips were wet. She licked it lightly. , Song Yuse shrank, but Pei Ji grabbed her waist.

First the eyes, then the face, and finally fell on her lips.

If your girl is crying, kiss her and let her forget the sad things.

Pei Ji bit Song Wei’s lips and leaned into her mouth. Song Wei was driven by her and slowly forgot to cry. Pei Ji’s kiss deepened and she bit Song Wei’s lower lip. Song Er was a little bit painful, wondering if it was bitten, but she couldn’t bear to push her away, raised her head and sent herself up, allowing them to blend in more deeply.

Pei Ji is here, where Song Yi can hug her and feel her, Song Yi hugs her tightly, grabbing her clothes behind her tightly, responding to Pei Ji, entangled with her.

It wasn’t until they were breathless that Song Wei pushed Pei Ji a bit. Pei Ji’s eyes were wet, and his eyelashes blinked gently. After a few seconds, he recovered and looked at Song Wei’s expression with concern.

Song Er’s eyes were red, but at least he didn’t cry anymore. Pei Ji bent her lips quickly, she reached out and touched Song Er’s hair, Song Er grabbed her hand.

They didn’t speak for a while, Pei Ji sat down, Song Wei was also next to the bed, they all looked worried.

After a while, Pei Ji moved inside, patted the bed next to him, and let Song Wei come up.

Song Wei did not let go of Pei Ji’s hand. She took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, sat next to Pei Ji, straightened her legs, and the calf under the skirt was white and straight.

Pei Ji divided her into half of the pillow, and they leaned against the head of the bed side by side.

The weather is very hot, but the room is still cool. The bed is large enough that two people will not be crowded if they lean side by side.

But Song Yi was still next to Pei Ji, leaning on her. She has calmed down and can speak well, but regret is like a stamp on her heart.

“Tell me about it,” Song Er said.

Pei Ji nodded, after thinking for a while, she decided to tell Song Wei about the little girl.

“The children there are very pristine. They don’t go to school. They play around like mud monkeys every day. They are dirty, like rolling in a mud pond. The little girl looks no different, with black skin. There are also children in poor and war-torn countries that often show fear and skinny bodies.”

“But if you look closely, you will find that she is different.”

Pei Ji turned to look at Song Er, and said seriously: “She is eager for knowledge.”

This is very special, because the local children don’t go to school, they don’t have the concept of knowledge. They just play crazy everywhere. When they are seven or eight years old, they go to some places that recruit child labor to reduce the burden on the family.

No one goes to school.

“She likes to follow me and talk to me. I don’t want to talk to her because I don’t understand their language and I’m very busy. Later, after I learned the local language, the first thing she understood was, I think To be a doctor and want to save people, my father fell ill and died.”

Pei Ji paused and explained to Song Er: “There, death is very common, and human lives are not worth money.”

Song Er felt a little blocked, and it always made people feel uncomfortable to ignore life.

“She is very sensible and precocious. When she saw me, she stopped playing. She came over and followed me. She couldn’t drive away. She whispered a lot, and when she was quiet, she looked at me and smiled when she was quiet. His skin, his teeth are white, and his smile is very sunny.”

“One day, she was very happy and came to tell me that her mother saved her money and they were about to move away, and her mother was going to send her to school.”

Pei Ji paused, her eyes were heavy, she turned her head and said to Song Er: “Do you know? She is very thin, as if she has never eaten enough, I have seen her mother, her mother is thinner, and her body is She was shriveled. I gave them food, and she accepted it. Once she said that I will help others if I have extra food in the future. She is more sensible than many adults.”

Hearing her description, Song Ye felt hopeless, but it was not completely hopeless, as if there was a small flame in a pitch-black space. The flame was only the size of a firefly and very fragile, but it struggled to shine and wanted to shine. Brighten more places.

Depressed, but with faint hope.

“Then what?” Song Er asked.

“Then there was a war.” Pei Ji tightened his eyebrows, his eyes filled with sadness, “They won’t attack us, and on the contrary, we can’t interfere in their war. The medical station is full of wounds. Civilians, the number of people infected with the virus is also on the rise. They cannot be in the same place as the ordinary wounded, because the virus is very infectious.”

“The medical station is that big, and it was saturated within two days. Our team is working on vaccines, as are other research bases, everyone is racing against time.”

“I remembered that I hadn’t seen the little girl for two days. I asked others and said I hadn’t seen her. I was worried about her, so I went to see her house. What I saw was that her house was ransacked and her mother died. She was sitting on her Next to the mother’s corpse, she was feverish, unconscious, and there was a severe rash on the exposed skin, and there was blood around her mouth. This is a symptom of the virus.”

Song Wei felt suffocated when she heard the description, not to mention that Pei Ji saw it with his own eyes.

“Her symptoms are so serious that she can’t afford to delay a second. The signal tower is destroyed and repairs are still underway. To find a doctor, she can only go to the medical station for at least two hours.”

Speaking of this, Song Er already understood that he couldn’t afford to delay, and Pei Ji could only do the treatment first to buy time. The virus is extremely contagious and she got infected in the process.

Pei Ji paused for a while, as if he was adjusting his emotions.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a life of nine lives. However, there was no other choice at that time. It was impossible not to save the little girl. Even if she was infected with the virus, the chance of cure was very low, but as long as she was still breathing, it was impossible to let it go.

Pei Ji felt that anyone in such a situation would do his best to rescue him.

“We were quarantined, used special medicine, and all healed.” Pei Ji’s tone became slightly brisk.

Except for weak immunity, it has no other effects. This result is already very good.

Except for talking about the little girl being heavier, Pei Ji didn’t feel any difficulty. She tried to infect Song Ye with a brisk tone, but Song Ye was not so foolish.

She has read every news about the w virus, and has never seen anyone say that a special medicine has been developed.

Pei Ji’s hand was thin, and the knuckles on her fingers were obvious. Song Wei squeezed her fingers, as if they were only covered with skin, but her palms were very warm.

“I’m sorry.” Song Er apologized, “I shouldn’t let you go to West Africa.”

She assured Pei Ji: “I will never force you to do things you don’t want to do in the future, and I won’t let you leave again.”

She even wanted to see Pei Ji all the time, watch her, and make sure she was safe.

But when Pei Ji heard her assurance, he was not as happy as he imagined.

She breathed out gently, bent her lips, and nodded to Song Er, trying her best to look happy: “Okay.”

Song Er also smiled, she lowered her head, the weight in her heart remained unchanged.

Her ears are small and the earlobes look very soft. Pei Ji wanted to make her happy, so he stretched out his hand and squeezed it to attract her attention, but Song Wei looked up and Pei Ji saw her somewhat blank eyes. Suddenly, she didn’t want to whitewash the peace, because her whitewashing didn’t let Song Er let go of her own blame.

She spoke out: “I’m not happy.”

Song Wei panicked, his legs lying flat on the bed bent, and turned sideways to Pei Ji. Pei Ji also sat upright. She looked at Song Yi and said seriously: “Saving her is not a bad thing for me. It’s something that I must do, so getting the virus for this is also a consequence that I should bear.”

“If you can do it again, I hope you don’t let me go to West Africa, not because I will almost die there, but we should have faced it together.”

Pei Ji felt that she was a little convoluted, so he stopped, looking for a clearer way of expression.

But Song Yi understood.

“If it’s just because of what I suffered there, there is no need to apologize to me. On the contrary, the little girl should thank you.” Pei Ji said again.

Song Er’s self-blame was deeper: “I…” She intuitively apologized again, but Pei Jigang said that there is no need to apologize.

She was at a loss.

Pei Ji looked at her, and suddenly hugged Song Wei and pressed her to the bed. Song Wei was startled, but did not struggle, and raised his hand to touch Pei Ji’s forehead. “We sleep.” Pei Ji said.

Song Er is too nervous, she is still in self-blame, her nerves are tense, sleep for a while and relax, it will be much better. Pei Ji thought about it, she half pressed on Song Er, but she didn’t feel uncomfortable, and took the lead to close her eyes. Song Ye looked at her for a while, and then closed her eyes.

There are footsteps coming and going in the corridor outside, but it is not noisy, but forms a special frequency, which is very hypnotic. Song Wei fell asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up, it was dark, and Pei Ji had been lying on the bed from her and was still asleep.

Song Wei thought deeply about what she said.

The professor who seems to be slow in feelings is actually a high school tyrant who has a strong ability to learn in feelings, but her starting point is too low, so it is always misunderstood that she is a backward student.

But in fact, she sees it thoroughly.

She got up from the bed very lightly, Pei Ji slept too well and was not awakened.

Song Wei got out of bed, originally planning to buy dinner, opened the door of the ward, but saw Pei Ji’s assistant sitting on the wooden bench in the corridor, seeing her come out, he stood up hurriedly and smiled awkwardly. , Raised his hand and raised the lunch box in his hand: “Supper.”

“Thank you.” Song Er took it.

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief. He just opened the door and went in. Seeing that they were sleeping, he hurriedly backed out. He was still a little worried about what to do with dinner. Fortunately, Miss Song woke up.

He was about to leave, but Song Er stopped him: “I want to ask you something.”

The assistant stopped.

“Let’s sit down and say.” Song Er said again.

They sat down on the bench.

“What medicine did Professor Pei use after he was infected with the virus?” Song Er asked directly.

The assistant was surprised that she didn’t even know, but considering her relationship with Professor Pei, she did not conceal: “It is a semi-finished product, and it is not right to say a semi-finished product. Generally, drugs can only be produced and applied after five phases of clinical trials. When the drug was tested on animals, it was still in a state of improvement because it was too effective and failed. After the professor was infected with the virus, the incubation period was short and the outbreak quickly became the part of the patients with the most severe symptoms. Therefore, the leader advocates boldness. If you use that kind of medicine, it’s just a chance. Anyway, it won’t get worse.”

The ceiling light in the corridor of the hospital was very bright. Song Er sat alone on the bench, and the assistant left after speaking.

“Everyone was in a hurry. The leader was almost scared to death. The pressure was so high that he called the dean several times. I remember that the second day of the medication happened to be the New Year’s Eve in China. The professor’s condition was very bad and the medication had a strong reaction. Everyone thought She can’t survive.”

The assistant’s sighing voice seemed to be echoing in Song Er’s ears.

She knew when it was time, and the professor told her that she didn’t have to wait for her day, which happened to be New Year’s Eve.

In the past few days, she was a little clingy, saying “Where is my kitten? Why isn’t it by my side?” Song Wei always remembered it from time to time.

Therefore, when she said this, it was when she was most vulnerable and needed her most.

Song Wei sat outside, Pei Ji woke up and found that his side was empty.

She sat up, looked at the time, guessing that Song Er was probably going to buy dinner.

She went to wash, and then saw the moon in the sky hanging outside the window sill.

In fact, after contracting the virus, her first reaction was to tell Song Er.

No matter what the final result is, Song Er should know. Song Ye was waiting for her, and she wanted to go home, she wanted to go back to Song Ye.

She was thinking about how to talk to Song Er, but before she thought about it, she received a call from Song Er.

She thought that something happened to her during the war, and she was so frightened, she said, if you have an accident, I will not be able to live.

Pei Ji hesitated, she decided to observe her treatment first. She was often confused and thought that Song Wei was beside her. She missed her especially, wanted to see her, wanted to touch her, and hug her.

However, whenever she wakes up, she will find that the kitten is not there and she is alone.

What does the kitten mean to her?

Not only the person she likes, but also her home, her family is the sustenance of all her feelings, no matter where she is, no matter whether they are together or not, as long as you think of Song Er, she is a person who belongs.

She became more and more afraid of what Song Er said.

She thinks that their relationship has been shaky, but because of the virus, she has become vulnerable.

Before taking the medication, she asked the nurse who took care of her. If she could not survive and conceal the news of her death, the ashes would not have to be taken back to the country and stay there.

After taking the medication, she realized that the situation was very bad, and it might really be the worst outcome.

In her last awake moment, Song Er didn’t have to wait for her.

It’s not that you don’t need to wait for her, but you don’t need her, you can’t wait.

Song Wei opened the door of the ward, and she used the doctor’s microwave oven to heat up the food. Pei Ji was watching the moon and said to Song Wei, “The moon at home is still beautiful. Let’s go home tomorrow.”

Song Wei opened the lunch box, greeted her to come for dinner, and said, “Listen to the doctor.”

Pei Ji walked over and scooped a spoonful without appetite.

“It’s still delicious at home, we will go home tomorrow.” She said again.

Song Er was unmoved: “Listen to the doctor.”

Pei Ji sighed.

Song Erren couldn’t help being so handsome.

When they went to bed at night, because they slept for too long during the day, they did not feel sleepy when they lay on the bed.

Song Wei leaned on Pei Ji, and they chatted casually, but most of the time, Song Wei was talking and Pei Ji was listening. But Song Wei didn’t just talk, she obviously wanted to touch Pei Ji, next to her, as if only in this way, could she really feel Pei Ji, feeling that she was okay, she returned to her.

“Professor.” Song Er called her suddenly.

Pei Ji turned her head, her eyes were particularly bright in the light, reflecting Song Er’s appearance. Song Er pursed his lips and asked, “Why didn’t you call me a kitten?”

Pei Ji thought for a while and said, “Kitten.”

Song Er’s eyes seemed to be scattered with a galaxy, and the stars were filled with joy.

Pei Ji leaned over and leaned on her shoulder.

The insomnia had been cured long ago, and Song Er was here. She slept peacefully without knowing it. She didn’t have a headache for a long time.

Thinking of something, Pei Ji said: “The little girl was adopted by a doctor after healed. The doctor sent her to school so that she could learn the knowledge she dreamed of.”

Song Er was also very happy when he heard the news: “That’s great.”

As they talked, their sleepiness gradually came up. Pei Ji rubbed Song Er’s shoulder, like a signal that she was going to sleep, and closed his eyes after rubbing.

But Song Er still has one thing hanging up.

“Professor.” She yelled.

Pei Ji didn’t open his eyes, but slapped her again very lazily, indicating that he was listening.

The longer they get along, the more cute Song Wei will discover Pei Ji’s side. Her mood becomes clearer and she said to Pei Ji: “If you can come back again, I won’t force you to go to West Africa again. We should face it together.”

Pei Ji opened his eyes instantly and looked at Song Er in surprise.

Under her gaze, Song Er added another sentence: “Also in the future.”

Pei Ji jumped for joy, stretched out his hand and hugged Song Wei tightly. She didn’t say anything, but she was so happy, and her joyful mood easily infected Song Wei.
