"Where did you serve as a soldier?"
"I was just transferred to T city not long ago."
Li Ci answered every question patiently.
"Don't ask so many questions and have a good rest first," Mother Lin led the doctor into the ward.
"Doctor, how is my dad's condition?" Lin Zhixia walked up to the doctor and asked anxiously.
"I just watched the film. It's nothing serious, just a slight concussion on the brain."
"What about those legs?" Lin Zhixia asked as she glanced at Father Lin's wrapped legs.
"My leg is just a little bruised, no bones are hurt. I'll eat something light for the next few days. I'll be hospitalized for a few days for observation. I'll be discharged without any problems later. Don't worry."
After the doctor finished speaking, Lin Zhixia finally felt relieved and said gratefully to the doctor: "Thank you."
After the doctor left, Mother Lin stood next to Father Lin and looked at Li Ci gently, "Thank you so much for today. Your name is..."
"Li Ci."
Mother Lin's eyes flashed with joy, "Then you know Xia..."
Lin Zhixia hurriedly stopped her mother's question, "He is the parent of a classmate in our class, and he happened to send me to the hospital today."
The emotion in Mother Lin's eyes dimmed instantly, and she muttered, "That's such a pity."
Li Ci looked at the changes in Mother Lin's eyes, and couldn't hide the gloomy loss. He had seen it in his mother before.
He thought it was inappropriate to stay here any longer, so he said goodbye to Father Lin and Mother Lin, "Uncle and aunt, I'll leave first."
Mother Lin looked at Lin Zhixia and said, "Zhixia, go and see her off."
When he arrived outside the ward, Li Ci turned to look at Lin Zhixia behind him, and stopped her from sending him out, "Go in, I'll go out by myself."
Lin Zhixia wrapped her hands around her clothes and hesitated, "Li Ci, thank you today."
Hearing her call his name, Li Ci's deep eyes were filled with a faint smile. It seemed like this was the first time she called him so formally.
Her drawn-out tone was like a subtle morning light in the spring rain.
He nodded slightly, then turned and walked outside.
Lin Zhixia entered the ward and sat at the end of the bed. Father Lin was already asleep, and Mother Lin was packing the things she had brought from home.
Mother Lin glanced at Lin Zhixia, put down the things in her hands and sat on the empty bed next to her, and asked without giving up, "Is that person just now really the parent of your classmate?"
"It really is."
"Tell me how good that young man is. If you can find such a good man, your father and I will be at ease for the rest of our lives."
Lin Zhixia sighed silently after listening to Mother Lin's words.
At this moment, Lin Zhixia's nerves had completely relaxed, and it suddenly occurred to her that she had not seen the person she was supposed to see today, and the person who had been calling before must be Chen Lu, but she really couldn't care less at the time.
She told her mother, got up and went outside the ward to dial Chen Lu's cell phone.
The call was connected quickly.
Chen Lu shouted angrily: "Zhi Xia, what's the matter with you? Didn't you agree to meet me? Why don't you see you and don't answer your phone calls?"
Chen Lu chattered a lot angrily, and the man waited there for almost half an hour without seeing the woman, so he called her and asked her what was going on.
She was also confused, knowing that Xia had clearly agreed to her agreement, so why didn't she go? She calmed the man down and asked him to call him to find out what was going on, but she called countless times but didn't answer any of them.
She had no choice but to apologize to the man, and lied that Lin Zhixia was temporarily busy and couldn't come.
Lin Zhixia heard that Chen Lu was really angry. She also kindly helped introduce her partner, but she didn't expect that she would let the man go. She said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Chen Lu, I was already there, but My mother called and said that my father suddenly fell, so I came to the hospital in a hurry and forgot to tell you."
When Chen Lu heard that he was in the hospital, her previous emotions were instantly forgotten, and she asked with concern: "Is uncle okay?"
"It's nothing serious. I can be discharged from the hospital after two days of observation."
"That's good, Zhixia, don't be angry, I was just too anxious just now."
Lin Zhixia's lips curled up slightly, and she replied with a chuckle: "No, I was indeed at fault today and missed the appointment." After saying that, she didn't forget to ask: "Then he..."
Chen Lu knew who Lin Zhixia was asking, "I apologized to him and asked him to go back first."
"Thanks."
Chen Lu thought about the fact that the blind date she had facilitated today had not been successful, and she looked regretful, "Zhixia, it's such a pity that you didn't meet me. That man is really nice."
"Is he really that good?"
Chen Lu acted like a nymphomaniac and said, "Really, whether it's work or body shape, the conditions are very good in all aspects."
Lin Zhixia couldn't bear to spoil Chen Lu's excitement and said half-jokingly, "Then there will be another chance."
"There will be no chance in the future. His vacation will be until tomorrow and he will return to the army tomorrow."
Chen Lu felt very sorry. In the end, she did not forget to comfort Lin Zhixia and said, "I will pay attention to other things for you."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixia smiled brightly. Her classmate was still as enthusiastic as ever.
Li Ci walked out of the hospital, leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette thoughtfully.
Watching the sun in the western sky gradually disappear, the dark sky fell quietly in the biting cold wind.
He stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, then turned around and opened the door and got into the car, all his movements flowing smoothly.
By the time Li Ci returned to the army, he had already missed the meal in the cafeteria.
He parked the car and walked toward the dormitory. Just as he was thinking about what he should have for dinner tonight, he heard a teasing voice, "Hey, Captain Li, I'm back from doing some personal business."
Li Ci looked back and said speechlessly: "Yao Wenyu, the parking lot is dark, what are you doing sitting here?"
"What else can I do? Of course I'm waiting for you. I'm here to see what important personal matters Captain Li has that left me alone."
Li Ci was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, and turned around and walked to the dormitory without even looking at Yao Wenyu.
"Hey, Lao Li," watching Li Ci walking away, Yao Wenyu stood up and chased after him without giving up.
Li Ci opened the door to the dormitory and walked in. He glanced at Yao Wenyu who was following him and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Of course," Yao Wenyu unceremoniously pulled up his chair and sat down, facing Li Ci with a smirk and asked, "Old Li, is there something wrong with you? Did you go to see your girlfriend that afternoon? "
Li Ci, who was drinking water, was so shocked that he vomited it out, "Cough...cough..."
Yao Wenyu raised his hand and handed over a piece of paper, "We really have it, didn't we agree to be single together?"
Li Ci took the toilet paper and wiped away the spit water without laughing or crying. He didn't argue with him. The most important thing now was to solve his food and clothing problem. "Do you have instant noodles?"
Yao Wenyu looked at Li Ci dumbfounded, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"Is there any?"
Yao Wenyu stood up from his chair instantly, "Yes, I'll get it for you."
