Chapter 109

The two of them followed the doctor in. This time the doctor's expression was much more relaxed than last time in the ward.

Li Wenyu was so anxious that he sat aside in a daze, but when he heard him say that Pei Xin had indeed improved, he still felt that the stone that had been blocked in his heart for a long time finally fell to the ground.

The boulder fell to pieces and shattered, and the remaining fragments were still in a mess.

"The medicine still cannot be stopped and needs to be taken for a long time. However, Mr. Pei's symptoms have improved faster than I expected. There may be a possibility of complete recovery within a year."

Li Wenyu blinked, nodded politely, and took the medicine from the doctor. The inspection result was: "Thank you."

The wind in the corridor became stronger, and the sky became darker. The temperature dropped so quickly on a hazy day, and the air was densely chilly. Li Wenyu shivered unconsciously.

He and Pei Xin walked out side by side. The bright yellow maple leaves fell to the ground on the stone road, but because they were not exposed to the sun and dried, they were light and made no sound when stepped on.

There were many people walking around, so it was not quiet. Li Wenyu heard the voices of men and women and the sound of wheelchairs rolling behind him, but they were the only ones silent.

Then the street lights on both sides lit up one after another.

Pei Xin's car was parked on the side of the road. There were a lot of fallen leaves on the roof all afternoon. Li Wenyu lowered his head to look at his watch and realized that it was already half past five.

He stopped and said to Pei Xin: "You go back first. My colleagues in the company have made an appointment to have a dinner together. I will go back by myself later."

Pei Xin stood still in front of the car and turned back to look at him after two seconds. The shaped leaves fluttered on his shoulders and did not fall anymore. There was no emotion on his face and his voice was weak: "I'll take you there."

"No," Li Wenyu said, "I'll go by myself. " That's it."

Pei Xin didn't insist anymore, his eyes stayed on his face for two seconds. When he turned around and got into the car, he stopped him again.

"Pei Xin, wait a minute."

Li Wenyu took out a bank card from his jacket pocket and walked up to him: "I said before that I would pay you back. It may not be enough now, but this time it is also my intention. , I hope you can accept it first."

Pei Xin stared at the bank card with his face down, and then looked at Li Wenyu's face for a while.

They stood close to each other, but unfortunately the wind was too strong, whistling in his ears, and his eyes were covered with messy hair. He could not see Li Wenyu's eyes clearly.

"Okay."

It took a long time for Pei Xin to respond, then he took the bank card and stuffed it into his pocket.

Li Wenyu felt relieved and smiled softly. Then he reached out and brushed off the fallen leaves from his shoulders. He watched them swaying and falling to the ground silently before saying, "I'm leaving."

After getting in the car, Pei Xin lit a cigarette. , the sparks were clearly extinguished, and lit several times in the wind before they ignited. In the blue-gray smoke, he saw Li Wenyu get into a taxi without looking back.

The cell phone on the center console rang again and again, but Pei Xin ignored it and stepped on the accelerator to follow.

The door of the hot pot restaurant is lit up with red signs and lanterns. The heat is filling the glass windows, and the lights and people are looking forward to it.

Before Li Wenyu entered the door, he saw Xia Xiaoxi and the team leader waving to him. Xia Xiaoxi didn't look like she could eat spicy food. There was a blush on her cheeks and her lips were a little swollen, but it didn't stop her from smiling brightly. Afraid that Li Wenyu wouldn't notice her, he waved his raised hand like a fan.

Li Wenyu laughed and had no choice but to raise his hand and wave, indicating that he had seen her, then opened the door and walked in.

The hot pot restaurant was filled with spicy aroma and the temperature was obviously much higher than outside. It was almost full of people and noisy.

The waiters were still busy, and Li Wenyu walked quickly towards the window.

Xia Xiaoxi moved his position inside with a smile: "Brother, you are here, I have saved the meat here for you, and I didn't let them touch it!"

Immediately, someone responded happily and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Yeah - —I ate a whole plate of hot baby vegetables, and I haven't even eaten a piece of meat yet. I'm waiting for you."

"You're too slow..."

Li Wenyu pressed his clothes, smiled a little sheepishly, and sat down. On the side: "I told Xiao Xi not to wait for me."

Several people waved their hands together: "Why don't I wait for you? Let's not talk about this anymore! Put down the beef and mutton quickly!"

"Waiter! Add more vegetables. "

"..."

They were obviously really hungry, and they immediately put meat into the pot. Xia Xiaoxi quietly poured the only large bottle of ladies' special drink into Li Wenyu's cup, and lowered his voice in a sly voice. "We're the only ones who don't want to drink. Let's have a drink first!"

Li Wenyu reluctantly curved his lips to cooperate, and clinked a drink with Xia Xiaoxi from a plastic cup.

The hot pot here is getting hotter, and the fog on the glass windows is getting thicker and thicker.

It was lunch time, and people were coming and going on the streets. It seemed like everything was lively and lively.

Pei Xin put his hand on the car window, and a cigarette quietly burned out close to his finger. He was burned unconsciously, and then he put out the cigarette expressionlessly.

He leaned back on the chair and saw from a distance that Li Wenyu had taken off his white coat and was wearing only a solid-color shirt. He was sitting opposite the glass window, smiling shyly and quietly while watching the person talking.

Pei Xin once thought that Li Wenyu was like an iris. The blue one was the most beautiful. It was wilted and harmless when tired or angry. It had no thorns and would not hurt anyone.

He didn't know when he saw the emotions in Li Wenyu's eyes, which were thick, cold, and indifferent, and it turned out that he was also stung.

He realized later that he cared, and only by caring did he feel important, and only then did he want to change and stay.

A gust of cold wind blew away the last remaining smoke, but it didn't blow away the thick moisture on the glass windows, and even the bright yellow lights on the street couldn't shine through.

Pei Xin found the last cigarette and bit it in his mouth, put up a small tent with his hands to block the wind, and lit it slowly. Tobacco particles passed through his lungs, choking him and causing him to cough twice.

At this moment, he probably understood that Li Wenyu was indeed a person standing in the glass cabinet. He was staying quietly inside. Some people were allowed to step in, and Pei Xin was not one of them.

*

Once the drinking started at a dinner party, it was difficult to stop drinking. In the end, they were all drunk. As survivors, Li Wenyu and Xia Xiaoxi could only conscientiously take charge of calling for a driver while on the phone.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Xia Xiaoxi was finally put into the car. The streets were empty except for a few cars speeding past.

It was only when Li Wenyu got into the taxi that he smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, which mixed with the pungent smell that stung his nose. It didn't smell good.

As soon as he opened the apartment door, he found that Xiaobai was very interested in the smell of his body and rushed over to sniff him excitedly.

When Li Wenyu bent down to change his slippers, he received a text message from Xia Xiaoxi reporting that he was safe. He freed up one hand to reply and then his phone got stuck and shut down completely, leaving a black screen.

Only the wall lamps were turned on in the living room. Pei Xin had not gone to bed yet, but he had not turned on the TV. The curtains and balcony door were not closed, and the wind blew in and made a rustling noise.

He was sitting by the window, very close to the glass window. The light from outside the house combined with the light from inside, and half-light and half-shadow fell on his face, deep and heavy. Although the outline of the handsome nose bridge is deep and neat, the facial features have a very androgynous delicacy, and there is a strong sense of being at a loss when he is silent.

Li Wenyu pursed his lower lip, put the phone aside, and slowly walked towards the window. He soon smelled a faint smell of tobacco. He didn't know how long Pei Xin had been sitting here and how many cigarettes he had smoked. This smell has not dissipated until now.

There was a lump in his throat and his voice was very soft: "It's very windy at night and it's easy to catch a cold. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Pei Xin looked up at him in the dim light, his shadow reflected on the glass window.

"Brother Xiao Yu," Pei Xin's eyes were dark, like a precious black glass embedded in them, shining lifelessly, but what he said was very illogical, "I want to go to City C, can you accompany me?" Shall I go?"

Li Wenyu stood in front of him and in the wind, feeling suddenly sad.

He didn't answer, and then he heard Pei Xin say in a hoarse voice: "When I come back from there, I promise I will never pester you again. You can go wherever you want."
