Chapter 29: contradiction

Zhou Yizhi originally wanted to wait for Xue Xi to come out of the doctor’s office and go back with him, but she was waiting in the ward. Grandma fell asleep, and the nurse also shook the bed and tucked the quilt for her grandma. I saw the figure of my brother.
Zhou Yizhi was a little puzzled and couldn't help but say hello to the nurse, and went to the doctor's office to take a look.
The nurse informed her that the doctor in this department was about to leave work. There were also a large number of patients waiting for the consultation report crowded at the door, noisy, Zhou Yizhi glanced around, but did not see Xue Xihe stand up, so he turned around and went out.
As soon as he turned around, there happened to be an earth-colored patient family member holding the white report paper and squeezing it in with sweat.
Zhou Yizhi was knocked away by his shoulder, and his balance became unbalanced.
Someone behind her helped her, and she was able to stand firm.
Zhou Yizhi retreated to the corridor and turned around. Xue Xi stood tall behind her to separate the noise. A few family members came to face him again, he spread his arms, pulled her behind him, and went back to the ward to get his coat.
"Brother, I thought you were leaving first." Zhou Yizhi grabbed his clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "I was just about to call and ask why you haven't returned to the ward. Is it because the doctor is too busy to ask questions? Too much? Have you waited a long time?"
She raised her head to look at her brother, not knowing why, but felt his expression a bit strange. He just looked down at her, wondering if it was because of the light behind his back that he couldn't see his expression clearly, only that the dark eyes were a bit darker than words.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yizhi was taken aback for a moment.
Xue Xi's throat moved, he retracted his gaze, and said, "It's nothing."
He said: "I won't go first."
Zhou Yizhi nodded, and just about to speak, he heard his brother say: "But next time you don't wait so long."
Zhou Yizhi pouted: "What are you doing, do you think I'm a bug?"
"...The hospital is not a good place to be treated. There are many patients, and there are many patients' family members. You are weak. It is better to come less." Xue Xi slowly let out a turbid breath, paused, and asked: "You are Are you hungry?"
Zhou Yizhi had a smile in his eyes, holding his arm half coquettishly, looking up at him, and said, "I'm a little hungry, but it's okay. My classmates gave me some snacks when I was in cram school."
After she finished speaking, Xue Xi looked at her with low eyes.
She puffed up her cheeks and looked at him, thinking he was going to say something, but he fell silent and said nothing.
Zhou Yizhi only realized that his brother was a bit strange.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
Xue Xi said: "Let's go, go home early."
"Okay, I want to have something to eat for dinner later on the way, and then send a text message to Aunt He!" Zhou Yizhi smiled. She lowered her head and saw that his sleeves were slightly rolled up, and his fingertips were still carrying water drops. It seemed that he had washed his hands. It looks very cold.
In winter, even if there is heating in the hospital corridor, the elder brother at this time feels a bit thin. I don't know if it is because of his slightly raised eyebrows.
She subconsciously wanted to hold his hand.
But before touching it, his hand just moved away calmly.
Zhou Yizhi thought it was his own illusion, and raised his head to look at Xue Xi: "What's wrong with you, is there too many family members waiting in the doctor's office, the air is not fresh, and it is too crowded? Or wait for my dad to come back and change another one next time— ―"
Zhou Yizhi looked at the surrounding wards. This is indeed the VIP ward of the inpatient department, but there are more advanced and better-environment wards with only a few people on one floor, but that kind of private hospitals have no brain department. The top doctor, after comprehensive consideration, Xue Xi's grandmother was arranged here.
Before she finished speaking, the teenager next to her interrupted: "No need."
Zhou Yizhi was stunned, looked up at him, and opened his eyes slightly.
There is no need to look at Zhou Yizhi's expression, Xue Xi also knows that his tone is a bit blunt.
A little bit of annoyance and regret rose in his chest.
After a moment of silence, he said: "This ward is already very good, I remember, thank you."
"Thank you? Brother, why do you suddenly say thank you?"
Xue Xi paused, looked at her, and suddenly reached out his hand, and slightly closed the bangs on her forehead, his voice was a little dumb: "You don't owe me anything, don't think too much, sleep well at night, okay."
Zhou Yiyi didn't understand what he was talking about.
But with just two sentences, the two went to the door of the ward and pushed the door in. Seeing that the old man was already asleep, Zhou Yizhi closed his mouth and didn't bother.
She followed Xue Xi. Xue Xi picked up the white down jacket on the sofa and picked it up. Zhou Yizhi walked over. He put on Zhou Yizhi's coat and took up a scarf to wrap Zhou Yizhi twice.
He turned to put on his black down jacket.
Zhou Yizhi looked at the two in black and white, couldn't help but lifted his lips, and picked up the black scarf from the sofa, waiting for him.
Xue Xi turned around.
Zhou Yizhi stood on tiptoe, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down.
Xue Xi:?
I don't know why, his body is a bit tight, and his mind inevitably passes the moment in front of the refrigerator a few days ago, when her kiss was caught off guard.
But Zhou Yizhi just stretched out his hand, learning how he put a scarf on her, and also twisted the scarf around his head.
Seeing Xue Xi's head being wrapped into rice dumplings by himself, Zhou Yizhi smirked frantically.
Helpless, Xue Xi held her shoulders with both hands and pushed her out of the ward door.
The weather was foggy and there was little snow. As soon as Xue Xi led Zhou Yizhi out of the hospital, he took the initiative to put his hand into his pocket. Xue Xi glanced at her and said, "My hands are very cold."
Zhou Yizhi bent his eyes: "Don't be afraid, my hands are hot."
In his pocket, she held his hand, Zhou Yizhi felt that her brother was hiding again, but after all, the position in the pocket was so big that she couldn't hide, so she held his hand accurately. This time, Zhou Yizhi is satisfied.
She looked up at the floating Xiaoxue in a happy mood, and said: "Tomorrow the class will organize a winter excursion to climb the mountain. After climbing the mountain, the final exam will be held. After the final exam, it will be the New Year."
The two walked side by side to the parking lot. Xue Xi couldn't help but remembered the previous encounter with a dog. She suddenly jumped into his arms and what she was thinking at that time. Because he felt that he had given too much in the previous life, I couldn't bear it. In this life, do I force myself to be close to him and close to him? Has she ever felt embarrassed?
During the thunderstorm not long ago, when she told herself that she didn't hate herself, she looked at herself, sniffed, her eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry. What was she thinking that night?
Xue Xi never thought that his contribution to her would become a burden to change her life path.
He didn't know how to tell Zhou Yizhi. He watched her walk ahead and watched her safe. This was only his willingness. If she looked back, he would be happy, but he only didn't want it. She was guilty. And looking back.
Because it means that everything he does is like a heavy burden, which becomes a weapon to intimidate her. It makes her breathless, makes her cry, makes her sad, and makes her do things she doesn’t want to do against her will. .
Xue Xi closed his eyes and stopped.
Zhou Yizhi also stopped, looking at him with bright eyes, pointing to the candied haws seller not far away, and said: "Xue Xi, I want to eat that."
Xue Xi walked over to buy her a bunch.
When he took out the money, he had to take his hand out of his pocket, Zhou Yizhi continued to hold his hand.
Xue Xifan took Zhou Yizhi's hand and said nothing, but put her hand back into the warm pocket.
He paid, and the two continued to walk towards the parking lot.
Zhou Yizhi held the candied haws, took a bite, and was about to pass it to Xue Xi to take a bite.
Xue Xi turned his head to look at her, but suddenly said: "Remember, I want to talk to you."
In winter, the day is very long and the street lights are already on. When the two of them talk, there will be white fog. Snow flakes falling on Xue Xi's shoulders. Zhou Yizhi's eyes are very bright and he smiled and said: "What a coincidence?! I also have something to say. Want to say."
Xue Xi paused after hearing the words, a little surprised, reached out his hand to remove a piece of snowflakes from her head, rubbed her head easily, and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to say, you say first."
No matter what he said, he was ready.
If she did not take the initiative to mention the matter of the previous life, he would take the initiative to mention that the matter of the previous life has passed, and she is still so young, he does not want her to live with guilt. All things are his willingness, she should not be restrained.
"Then I said it." Zhou Yizhi swallowed her saliva. She felt that it was not a good atmosphere here. On the square outside the hospital, there was an aunt and an uncle dancing square dancing, and a child wearing thick clothes holding neon balloons. Running and chasing, the small vendors sell steamed cakes to release the steaming steam.
Too noisy.
But the snowflakes were blowing, and she felt that it was not bad to say it here, she had to find a place to find a time to say it.
Otherwise, maybe the brother didn't understand what he meant by just kissing.
She was not nervous at all, but she looked at Xue Xi’s dark eyes, and the fingers placed in his pockets gradually clasped his ten fingers. The sky was dim, and the street lights cast shadows. She looked at the shallowness of the two exhaled. The white mist of shallow breathing suddenly became a little nervous.
"Say." Xue Xi looked at her quietly, his heart seemed to be strangled by a big hand that didn't know which direction to pull.
She is going to showdown in the last life.
Or, tell him the progress of her and Lin Jiayu?
If it was the former, Xue Xi had originally planned to say.
But if it's the latter, Xue Xi's scorching sensation that he could not find the source of after a few days finally crawled into his heart.
Thinking about this, he suddenly didn't dare to let Zhou Yizhi say it first, and the fingers that pinched her hand tightened involuntarily.
"Then I really said it."
Zhou Yizhi felt the air was very cold, but her cheeks were slightly hot. She stuck for a long time, took a breath and said, "It's about the last few days, I like..."
Xue Xi suddenly spoke first: "If it's Lin Jiayu-related matters, why not go back and talk about it, it's cold outside..."
But the words are not finished yet.
"...You." Zhou Yizhi's remaining word popped out. After talking about Zhou Yizhi, he wanted to cover his face, but when it was over, he actually said it.
The air was still for a few seconds.
When he reacted to what Zhou Yizhi said, Xue Xi couldn't find his heartbeat for a moment.
It took him a long time to tell that he hadn't made a mistake just now, and his eyes looked at Zhou Yizhi in astonishment, almost a slight unnoticeable tremor.
After a while, he took a breath and uttered a monosyllable that was bewildered and confused: "...?"
