When He Smiles - Chapter 28

When the bottle was finished, it was 4:30 in the afternoon. She and Chen Si went out and Chi Zheng went to get the car. That is a Suzuki van, the Big Dipper galaxy. He drove the car slowly to the entrance of the hospital, across the windshield. She saw him, as if she was looking at each other in the hospital for a moment, and then hurriedly moved away.

In the car, Chen Si smiled and chatted with her.

“Now living alone at school?”

She nodded, “Yeah.”

Chi Zheng drove the car with an expression on his face and glanced at the rearview mirror lightly.

“Girls must pay attention to safety alone.”

“I know, Teacher Chen.”

Chen Si patted her hand: “Will you come to the hospital tomorrow to get a sling?”

“Ah, no, just today.”

“That’s good.”

She smiled, Chen Si looked up at the person in the driver’s seat, “Send me first, and then send Sheng Nan back to school.”

Chi Zheng said ‘um’.

“Go home to eat tonight.” Chen Si said again.

“Got it.” He looked forward, faintly.

When Chen Si arrived, she asked for her phone number, when Chi Zheng and she both got out of the car. Chen Si insisted to go in by himself, and before he left, he took Chi Zheng and asked, “Will Sheng Nan go back to the store after sending it out in a while?”

“Yeah.” Chi Zheng said, “I have to send the car to Shi Jin.”

“Then remember to come back early.”

After Chen Si finished speaking, he smiled and said goodbye to her. I haven’t seen it in a few years, and the woman’s body is deteriorating. It wasn’t until the figure slowly disappeared that she and Chi Zheng got into the car. She was about to pull the rear door, but he was holding one hand.

“Sit at the front,” he said.

She looked back at him and walked around to the co-pilot in silence. As soon as the car drove, she sneezed.

He looked over, “Is it okay to hang the bottle for a day?”

Meng Shengnan rubbed his nose.

“Ok.”

There was no word in the car for a while, and Meng Shengnan was actually a little cautious.

“What did you teach?” he asked suddenly.

Meng Shengnan: “English.”

Hearing this, Chi Zheng raised a laugh.

She didn’t know if he remembered something or just smiled politely, and then listened to him.

“amazing.”

“what?”

He turned the steering wheel and said, “It’s okay.”

Outside the window, rows of shops on the side of the road fell to the back of the field of vision. Meng Shengnan turned his head to look seriously, and said nothing. At that time, she felt extremely calm inexplicably. red light. He turned his head and looked at her for a while. The light turned green and he looked away.

It was a little stuffy in the car, she shook the window open.

Fresh air was blowing in, and I suddenly felt refreshed. She closed her eyes and breathed gently, then opened them slowly. Turning at the intersection, he glanced at her.

“Are you motion sick?”

Meng Shengnan turned his head, “It’s okay.”

In a twenty-minute drive, he drove to the school gate. Meng Shengnan got out of the car and looked through the half-open window.

“Thank you today.”

“No need to.”

“Then I’ll go in first, you—slow down on the road.”

He said ‘um’.

After all, he drove away. Meng Shengnan walked along the road to the school, while the students were still in the classroom. She had just walked to the first floor of the teaching floor and was photographed behind her.

“Have you seen it?”

Xiao Lin asked with a smile, and she nodded.

“Is it better?”

“Okay.”

When the two walked to the apartment, Xiao Lin rolled his eyes slyly and asked, “Who is the man who just sent you back?”

Meng Shengnan was stunned, and then said for a while: “High school classmate.”

“Is it?”

“Yes.”

Xiaolin suddenly said: “He seems to have been following you all the time.”

“what?!”

She was frightened and turned her head quickly to look, but there was no one behind her.

Kobayashi laughed.

“I’m teasing you, look at how nervous you are.”

She eased her mind and gave Xiao Lin a glance.

“Are you as cute as you.”

Xiao Lin gave her a deep look.

Meng Shengnan turned the subject away and asked, “We haven’t finished class yet, did you come back from outside?”

Xiao Lin laughed.

“My boyfriend rarely had time in the afternoon, so he went out for a tour.”

She also laughed, “It seems that the day when I eat wedding candy is not far away.”

When it comes to this topic, Kobayashi smiles even more.

“By the way, will you go to the hospital tomorrow?”

“It’s going to be three days,” she said.

Thinking of the lie I just told, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed. Back to the room, she drank the medicine and lay down to sleep. The sky was still bright outside, and the sun slowly disappeared. The man in the van had just arrived in the shop for a while, and he hadn’t finished smoking a cigarette.

He bit the cigarette, staring at the computer parts and pondering.

Shi Jin came back into the store from outside, “Send Auntie back?”

“Ok.”

Chi Zheng stopped, kicked an object from his pocket and threw it to him.

“Your car key.” He took down the cigarette.

Shi Jin took it, “Yes, I will deliver it first.”

The man did not lift his head.

Shi Jin sighed and muttered to himself as he walked out, “Just put down your old line, I think you can’t let it go.” After speaking, he walked to the car and opened the car. Shi Jin was taken aback. He glanced at the phone left from the co-pilot, bent over to take it, laughed and turned back to the shop.

Hearing the footsteps, Chi Zheng thought he was a guest.

Looking up, Shi Jin smiled badly, “Where did you just go?”

“how?”

Shi Jin leaned on the glass cabinet and asked, “After sending it off, Auntie, please make an appointment by the way?”

Chi Zheng swept over coldly.

“It’s okay to get out.”

Shi Jin’s hippie smile refused to leave, “I said, do you like that woman?”

Chi Zheng raised his eyes, “Who?”

“Tsk, the one who asked you to fix your phone last time?”

Chi Zheng was silent for a long time, and Shi Jin suddenly felt something.

“Really fancy?”

“Fuck.” Chi Zheng glanced at Shi Jin lightly, his eyelids crease deep.

“Fuck or not?”

Shi Jin shrugged and threw what was in his hand to him.

“What’s this?”

Chi Zheng frowned when he took the phone.

“That woman, right?”

Chi Zheng’s lips pressed into a line.

“I said how long you have been drought, this is really good.”

Chi Zheng held the phone, his eyes swept away.

“I’m gone.” Shi Jin shut up and walked out, then looked back and laughed.

Outside, the wind rolled onto the streets. Shi Jin’s car has gone far, and the front door of the shop is left in the cold. Inside, the man at the table was playing with his mobile phone, lighting up a cigarette and smoking, his face was temporarily impenetrable, and he was deeply confused.

In the evening, Chi Zheng locked the store door and rode home.

Chen Si was busy in the kitchen, and turned around after hearing the sound, “I’m back.”

Chi Zheng glanced around: “Where is Ma Yang?”

“I asked her to go back first. Mom will do it for you tonight.”

Chi Zheng frowned, “This is not an example.”

Saying that he took the knife that was cutting the vegetables in Chen Si’s hand, “I’m here.”

Chen Si left him, standing aside.

“Mom is much better today.”

Chi Zheng: “That won’t work either.”

Chen Si smiled, “Send Sheng Nan to school?”

“Ok.”

“I’ve liked this girl since I was a teenager. She is good-natured and sensible. Mom asked today, and she didn’t have a boyfriend. I think you two are quite familiar. Have you ever dealt with each other?”

Chi Zheng was cutting the potato shreds, and his eyes fell somewhere.

“I have seen it several times.”

Chen Si asked: “What do you think?”

Chi Zheng raised his eyes and smiled.

“Mom, what’s your idea?”

Chen Si gave him a smile and said, “You don’t know what I am thinking about. I’m already twenty-five or sixteen people and don’t even have a girlfriend.”

Chi Zheng: “Isn’t Shi Jinn’t there?”

“I can’t tell you.” Chen Si said, “Anyway, Sheng Nan, this girl I like very much, you can figure it out.”

Chi Zheng smiled helplessly.

Chen Si added: “I heard from her mother before that Sheng Nan likes to write stories, and he also participates in what new concepts in Shanghai, and his literary talent is good.”

“Is it.”

Chi Zheng’s eyes were calm and thoughtful.

After eating, he went to the second floor and took a simple cold shower. He wrapped a bath towel around his lower body and returned to the room with water dripping from his hair, winding in along the back of his chest and slipping under the bath towel. He leaned against the window and lit a cigarette, lowered his eyebrows and thought. Without knowing what he was thinking of, he frowned and opened the drawer.

The night light hit the glass, and the man took out the meditation book.

His eyes narrowed.

The outside is as dark as ink, and everything is recuperating. At that time, Meng Shengnan had just woken up after sleeping. She checked the time, and it was not nine o’clock. He got out of bed and drank water in a daze. As soon as he took a sip, he heard someone knock on the door.

“Why come here so late?” She opened the door and it was Qi Qiao.

Qi Qiao circled her around her without even speaking.

“I got sick?”

She has a stuffy nose, “I have a cold.”

The two entered the small living room, Qi Qiao picked up the water she had just put on the coffee table and took a big sip.

“Scared me to death, and thought what happened to you.”

“what’s happenin?”

Qi Qiao sighed, “Why didn’t you answer a dozen calls?”

Meng Shengnan was taken aback, turned around and looked for it.

“You won’t lose it?” Qi Qiao asked

She looked around and slumped on the sofa tired.

“Maybe it really might be.”

Qi Qiao said ‘Hey’.

“What’s wrong with you calling me this afternoon?”

She raised her arm, turned the back of her hand to Qi Qiao, and shook it.

“The hospital has a bottle, and I want you to accompany me.”

Qi Qiao leaned in front of her, “Yeah, do you still hurt little baby?”

“Go.” Meng Shengnan couldn’t help laughing, and asked: “Are you coming to Song Jiashu to pick you up for a while?”

Qi Qiao shook his head.

“I’m sleeping with you tonight, welcome?”

Meng Shengnan glanced at the woman disgustingly and shook his head.

Qi Qiao took a deep breath of anger: “Not welcome?”

“Should I think about it again?”

Qi Qiao snorted, “You count as acquaintance.”

“Are you willing to keep Song Jiashu alone with her empty boudoir?”

Qi Qiao smiled, “This time you know how much I love you.”

Meng Shengnan: “…”

The two made a joke and fell asleep. One bed, two quilts. The bedside lamp was warm yellow and on. Qi Qiao looked at the wall above her head and asked her.

“Nan Nan.”

“Ok?”

“Why did you break up with Lu Sibei?”

Meng Shengnan didn’t know, either, both of them were very busy at the time. I don’t seem to know since when he has fewer phone calls and fewer text messages. Meng Shengnan is the kind of person who almost never takes the initiative, and slowly contacts and talks less. Two places apart, the breakup is natural.

“It’s not appropriate.” She replied Qi Qiao.

After one night, Qi Qiao left the next morning, and she did not say that she would fight for three days. Qi Qiao has been busy driving in the past two days, office workers, from eight to six. She had a class at ten o’clock in the morning, had a simple meal outside at eleven o’clock, and took the bus to the hospital.

The doctor opened an extra bottle of glucose today.

She was sitting on the bench, thinking about going out and buying a new cell phone for a while. It will take a while to look up at the medicine in the bottle. She bowed her head, grinding time little by little. A pair of mother and daughter sat opposite each other. The child was four or five years old. Just after the injection, my mother coaxed. She watched quietly, feeling peaceful. Later, the mother and daughter also left.

It was noon, and the corridor was very quiet.

A man smoking a cigarette at the top of the stairs, his eyes fell on this side. He looked at it for a while, and then came over. Meng Shengnan was looking down at the hand with the needle inserted, and a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

“Didn’t it mean one day?”
