After making an appointment to meet at a time and place, Deng Jinger and I left the hospital.
"Take me back to my home." I said to Deng Jing'er after getting in the car.
"Go home? Which home?" Deng Jing'er asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to my house?"
I have to talk to Zhou Yanli in the evening, so it's a bit inconvenient to be at Deng's house.
I replied, "Send me back to Nanting's apartment. You know the way."
Nanting Apartment is where I live alone now. Deng Jing'er and the others would visit my place from time to time when I was in college.
Although Deng Jing'er was puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions. She stepped on the accelerator and went straight to Nanting's apartment.
After arriving at the apartment, I sat down with Deng Jing'er's help. She asked worriedly, "Yi Yi, are you sure you are okay alone in this state? You can't even walk a few steps..."
"It's okay. My feet are like this. I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to lie alone. Don't worry about me. You can go back quickly. Drive slower on the road." I smiled at Deng Jing'er.
"...Okay, if you need anything, call me. I'll be on call!" Deng Jing'er nodded helplessly.
After she left, I sat on the sofa alone and dazed for a while.
I don’t know how I fell asleep, but I felt a little cold when I woke up.
I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that Tao Xue's body was placed in front of me. I was about to get closer to take a closer look, but she suddenly opened her eyes, stretched out her hand and strangled my neck. Her voice was full of resentment, "You took it away." Got Jin Han!"
I had lingering fears. In order to dispel the fear caused by this nightmare, I quickly turned on the TV and found a noisy TV series. Listening to the chatter of voices, I felt at ease.
But as I watched, my thoughts drifted away again.
On the night of the wedding, Jin Han and I said many unpleasant things. We slept in the same bed without even touching our hands. At about one o'clock in the night, he got up and drove away.
At that time, I thought he hated sleeping with me and was deliberately trying to embarrass me.
Now that I think about it, I probably couldn't help but want to see Tao Xue for the last time, even if she had lost her breath.
"Ding dong!" The phone rang, making me jump with fear.
I picked it up and looked at it. It was a message from Zhou Yanli: Your feet are inconvenient. Let's go to your house to talk at night.
As expected of a doctor, he is so attentive.
Now that I live alone, it is very convenient for him to come to me, so I agreed: Okay, Room 609, Building 8, Nanting Apartment.
I replied directly with the detailed address.
Zhou Yanli: Well, you live alone?
I sent a proud emoticon: Yes, you didn’t expect me to be so cool now, right?
Zhou Yanli: It's quite embarrassing. Can Jin Han tolerate you?
Me: He doesn’t like me, so why does he care so much about me? Is it possible that if I get divorced and I remarry, he will have to take care of me? Just like my dad.
Zhou Yanli: Are you really considering a second marriage?
Me: Nonsense, I haven’t experienced the taste of a normal marriage. I’m not willing to accept it. I want to find a normal man!
Then he didn't reply. He probably thought I was a bit "unruly". Even before the divorce, I was already planning what kind of person I should choose for my second marriage.
Since Zhou Yanli was coming, I had to dress decently and not look like a poor abandoned egg. I limped to the bathroom, ready to take a shower and wash my hair.
Apparently I had overestimated my level of independence. When I was about to limp out of the bathroom after taking a shower, my right foot finally protested and I fell flat on my face.
My screams were comparable to 3D surround sound, resounding throughout the bathroom.
At this time, the mobile phone placed on the sink at the door rang. I couldn't stand up at all, so I could only crawl over with difficulty and take the phone off.
Why is it Jin Han's call?
I frowned, but answered, "Is something wrong?"
If you have nothing to do, hang up quickly. Don’t delay me from calling 120.
"What are you yelling at?" Jin Han asked unexpectedly.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I was sitting on the ground in a messy bathrobe and answering the phone. I was in a bad mood. "What the hell are you talking about? If you have anything to do, just tell me. I'm very busy."
Jin Han paused, "I'm at the door of your apartment, please open the door."
Oh, it turns out you really heard my scream.
I refused without thinking, "It's not convenient for me to see you now. You should go back."
"If you don't open the door, I'll ask someone to unlock it directly." Jin Han is a dog.
"Are you sick? You won't let me go even a day during the Chinese New Year!" I really don't want to see Jin Han now. When I think of Tao Xue and Xiang Qing, my heart feels like a needle pricking me.
I even understand a little bit why my parents-in-law accepted Xiang Qing so quickly in the last life. Maybe they felt that they had destroyed their son's first relationship, and they didn't want to do it so badly the second time.
From the beginning to the end, I was just a 250-year-old who didn't know anything, jumping up and down and pestering Jin Han.
"Your foot is sprained and it is inconvenient to live alone. Why don't you continue to stay at Deng's house?" Jin Han asked again.
As if he was caring about me, I replied calmly, "I'll come back if I want to."
"Did you fall? What's the password? I'll come in." Jin Han added the threat, "Either I can find someone to open the lock quickly, or you have to change the lock."
I know Jin Han will keep his word, and I really need someone to help me up now. In comparison, Jin Han is more suitable than 120.
But my password is Jin Han’s birthday and I haven’t changed it. It’s very embarrassing to report it.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the combination lock being opened, followed by Jin Han's faint chuckle.
I took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
Soon, Jin Han's voice came from the bathroom door, "Are you in? I'm in."
The door was pushed open by him, and then he lowered his head and saw me sitting on the ground.
After staring at him for a few seconds, he squatted down and said, "I'm already lame, so why take a bath?"
"Is it illegal for a lame person to take a bath?" I asked coldly.
"That's not true. Get up." Jin Han stretched out his hand and motioned for me to grab it.
I didn't hesitate. After putting my hand up, his palm tightened and almost completely covered my hand.
As I struggled to get up, I explained to him, "That password was set when I was in college. I moved here not long ago and I haven't had time to change it yet."
"Yeah." Jin Han had no reaction.
"Ah!" As soon as I stood up, my right foot hurt so much that I doubted my life, and fell down again in an instant.
Jin Han quickly pulled me into his arms and used his body to support me, but his own back hit the door frame hard, and I heard the dull impact.
It's mostly my fault.
He didn't say anything, just carried me to the bed and sat down.
After examining my right foot, he told me, "It's symmetrical."
"Huh?" I was a little immersed in the embarrassment just now and couldn't recover.
"The sprain is symmetrical and the right foot is swollen." Jin Han stood up and told me.
What kind of fucking black humor is this?
I felt no gratitude to Jin Han. Instead, I asked displeasedly, "Why are you here looking for me?"
