Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Pink Skull

The next day when he went to work, Ji Ting had a strong nasal voice and kept coughing lightly.Mo Yuhua who was with him casually asked, "Have you caught a cold?" He nodded, "Maybe he caught a cold." She was puzzled, "The outdoor temperature has been as low as 20 degrees these days." After finishing speaking, she found that Ji Ting, who has always been calm and reserved, turned his back to her unnaturally to check last night's duty records, and his skin under the collar of his white coat was suspiciously red. . Ji Ting lowered his head intently, but the words in front of his eyes turned into the dewy grass last night, the narrow and long weeds scratched his naked skin, and it was slightly wet and itchy. For a while, the peculiar smell of disinfectant in the hospital seemed to be Mixed with the faint smell of grassland soil, it is sweet and obscene.This was the first time he lost his mind this morning, so he calmed down and turned to work.

The day's work was uneventful and smooth. When he first came into contact with patients, he always had a heart of compassion. After a long time, he was used to seeing birth, old age, sickness and death, and felt that everything was doomed in the dark. Three o'clock in the afternoon is always the time when there are the most patients. Doctor Wu came in from outside with a smile on his face, "Ji Ting, a girl is looking for you." Ji Ting was surprised, and Zhi An's figure was already at the door of the consulting room "Ji Ting, come out for a while." She stood at the door and said to him.

With a heartbeat, he stood up and walked out the door.She led him to the side of the aisle, "Can you go somewhere with me?" She didn't have any extra words to start. "Where are you going?" After experiencing all kinds of things last night, when he faced her again, he felt a little shy, and the roots of his ears began to feel slightly warm again. But she seemed completely unaware of his subtle psychological changes, and looked straight at her, "Don't ask, you'll know when you go." Since the reunion, he hadn't looked at her properly in the daytime. At this moment, Zhi'an's face was less bloody, but the sunlight had diluted a lot of the gloomy and strange aura on her body. Standing in front of him, looking at him, she just Like a thin and stubborn child.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll explain." He never knew how to refuse her. When he hurried back to the consultation room, there were already familiar colleagues in the hospital looking around curiously in the aisle. He approached Dr. Wu and explained that he had to leave temporarily for something, and Dr. Wu agreed with a smile. Ji Ting didn't expect that the place Zhi An wanted to take him didn't need to go out of the hospital gate, they bypassed the outpatient building and walked directly to the inpatient department behind.When walking into the elevator, Zhi An pressed the fifth floor.Ji Ting is familiar with this place, and the fifth floor is the intensive care unit of the hospital's hepatobiliary department. He was a little surprised, "Zhi An, why did you bring me here?" Zhi An turned to him, as if he was concentrating on the elevator lights , and did not answer.

The elevator didn't stop halfway, and went straight up to the fifth floor. They walked through the long, dimly lit corridor, and the only sound of their footsteps was heard along the way.It's also a hospital, but it's a bit more deadly than other places. Ji Ting has been in the hospital for a long time, so he knows that the death rate of critically ill patients in the hepatobiliary department is usually relatively high. Many people living on this floor are patients with advanced tumors in this department. Patients die almost every day, and new patients If it is filled in, if a place lacks vitality, it will naturally appear a bit gloomy.

He followed Zhi'an forward, doubts and uneasiness also bothered her, but she didn't say anything, just led him forward, finally, when she stopped in front of ward 528, he felt her grabbing his hand Hands are strangely cold. "Zhi'an..." For some reason, he felt her panic. She looked down at her toes, as if she was struggling for the last time, and finally pushed the door resolutely and went in. The layout of the ward that appeared in front of Ji Ting was the same as the double ward that Ji Ting was familiar with, except that there was a thick screen between the two beds, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside from their position. Where there should have been another bed was a simple couch.

If these were not enough to surprise Ji Ting, then the person sitting on the sofa at the moment really surprised him.Xie Sinian ignored Ji Ting's astonishment, he just slowly stood up from the sofa after seeing Zhi An, "Is it still here?" Zhi An pursed her lips and nodded, she pulled Ji Ting to the side of the screen, and asked Xie Sinian, "Are you awake?" Xie Sinian nodded silently, then turned towards the direction inside the screen, and raised his voice slightly, "Wang Ming, she's here." Ji Ting glanced at Zhi'an, did not speak, just calmly waited for the reaction inside, for a long time, there was no movement in the screen, and only after Xie Sinian's face showed anxiety, a voice said: "Si Nian , you go and call a nurse for me." The voice was very low, and the speed of speaking was very slow, but the words were clear.

Xie Sinian knowingly turned on the call light next to the sofa, and soon, a nurse in her early thirties hurried in without saying anything, and walked directly behind the screen.There was still no conversation coming from inside, and it took several minutes before the slight creaking of the hospital bed was heard. The nurse came out and said to Xie Sinian, "You can go in, but given her current condition, it's best not to stay too long," Xie Sinian nodded, and also looked at Zhi'an.Ji Ting felt that his hand was secretly squeezed by Zhi An, and she involuntarily led him into the screen, Xie Sinian did not go in with them

The facilities inside were quite simple, only a hospital bed and a low cabinet beside the bed. The curtains were drawn, and the afternoon sunlight was projected on the person who was half sitting and half leaning against the bed.It was an unimaginably skinny face, with a light layer of makeup on it at the moment, and it didn't look too gray from a distance. It was wearing a rather unique hat, but it was not difficult to find it if you looked closely. Not much hair remained under the hat. Zhi'an walked forward, but her hand didn't let go from his, so he could only follow along.The person on the bed was obviously very weak, even such a half-sitting posture was a difficult task for her, she looked at Zhian in front of the bed, and even her breathing was so shallow that it was inaudible.

Illness and death are not surprising to Ji Ting. From the moment he walked in, he knew from his cloudy eyes that the person on the hospital bed was called Wang Ming. An Sheng's mother's woman has reached the end of her life, and no amount of ingenious makeup can conceal the breath of death before dying.He has seen countless patients, many of whom are dying, but he has never seen such a scene before him, the bright red lips lined with a withered face, there is really a strong and desperate visual contrast, the so-called pink skull , nothing more than this.However, this should have been a terrifying and weird scene, but it became intriguing because of the strange calm and transparent expression of the owner of that face, which made people feel that even if the person in front of him was so weak that it was difficult for him to breathe, there was still a lot of love in his bones. The pride is still there.

Getting up and dressing up just now seemed to have exhausted all her strength. At this moment, Wang Ming was just leaning on the bed, staring at Zhi'an motionlessly, and suddenly twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled. Zhi An looked at that face as if in a daze, until the person on the bed opened his mouth slightly, his voice was almost inaudible, "You are Zhi An." She didn't ask, but stated a fact in a calm and indifferent tone, and Zhi An didn't answer her, standing aside, stubborn and almost ruthless.Ji Ting felt a slight pain in her hands, and her nails were almost embedded in his flesh. Wang Minghun didn't care, she looked at Zhi'an, but seemed to be immersed in her own world, "You are my daughter, but I have never loved you." Ji Ting did not expect her to say such words, he suddenly felt My heart hurts, for the sake of peace. Zhi An's voice was a little hoarse, "That's great, I don't think of you as anyone of mine." Wang Ming laughed again when she heard the words, and her red lips with makeup became more and more alluring, "No matter what, you really look like me." Her eyes began to move away from Zhi An, and turned to Ji An who was on the sidelines. Ting felt a little dazed. Ji Ting was a little embarrassed under her gaze, and then he heard Zhi An say suddenly, "His surname is Ji." Wang Ming didn't respond, and after the hesitation dissipated, only indifference remained. She didn't speak any more, her eyes gradually half-opened and half-closed, and finally she couldn't even see the ups and downs of her chest.Zhi'an looked at Ji Ting with a bit of horror, Ji Ting stepped forward to check Wang Ming's situation, then pulled Zhi'an aside, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine for the time being, I'm just too weak... But, it's probably the same. It's been a few days." When he said the last sentence, he was a little cautious, afraid of seeing her sad expression, she just lowered her head and said, "Let's go." Just when the two walked to the edge of the screen, they heard an inaudible voice from the hospital bed, she said, "Thank you..." Zhi An didn't look back, she paused for a few seconds, and finally walked outside the screen with Ji Ting. Xie Sinian was still leaning on the sofa just like when they came here, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was still sinister and handsome. "How is it?" He asked Zhi'an. "What else can I do?" Zhi'an said with a blank expression, "I'm here, I have to go." Xie Sinian sighed, got up and sent them to the door, when he opened the door, he was greeted by a mighty group of people.Ji Ting recognized the director of the Hepatobiliary Department at the head, and beside him was the vice president of the hospital, Zhao, followed by three or two people who looked like attending physicians and nurses in charge, and they all surrounded a young man walking in the middle.The man was only in his early thirties, with pair of glasses, a white shirt that was spotless, and looked refined and dignified. Behind him was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a large bouquet of lilies in his hand. Ji Ting did not know this man, but from the cautious and flattering expressions of Vice President Zhao and the medical staff of the Hepatobiliary Department, it is not difficult to see that this man has a lot of background.The man and Zhi An met each other head-on, and smiled unexpectedly, "Miss Gu is here too? And Professor Xie, it seems that I came at a bad time, I hope I didn't disturb your gossip and family relationship." His smile was leisurely. Calm, every gesture reveals good upbringing and unassuming elegance.Xie Sinian looked at the visitor with a blank expression on his face, but Zhi An had a habitual mocking smile on his face. "Is there anything for Mr. Lu to visit?" The man Zhi An called "Mr. Lu" looked at the person holding flowers behind him, and said, "Anyway, Ms. Wang is an old friend of my father. Although my father is gone now, Ms. Wang suddenly became seriously ill. It’s worth visiting.” Xie Sinian sneered, "She won't live long, so why are you putting on a show?" The man surnamed Lu showed a look of astonishment, and his tone was very sincere, "I am here today to visit Ms. Wang sincerely. If there is indeed any inconvenience, then I will not bother you. I will only express our Lu family's thoughts. Just deliver it, and if you think about it, Ms. Wang won't blame us for being impolite as juniors." After he finished speaking, the man behind him knowingly handed the flower to the nurse on duty who followed him, and the nurse immediately ran to find it. I took out the vase, put the bouquet of lilies into the vase, and sent it to the ward. When the nurse passed by, Xie Sinian stopped her, "No need, she is sick, and the strong flower scent is a kind of irritation to her. We appreciate your kindness, please come back." The nurse didn't go any further, but turned around to see what the man meant, and the man was not angry, but just sighed, "That's really a pity, I still remember my father once mentioned that Ms. Lily, how many ministers under the skirt wish to use this flower to cover her bedroom, unexpectedly this flower is still in full bloom, but people..." Xie Sinian frowned, but it seemed that reason was reminding him to restrain himself. Seeing that he didn't speak, the man continued: "However, I admire Professor Xie very much. I heard that Ms. Wang refused to see you again after she became ill. It is really rare that you can stick to the hospital bed like this. Your confidant, Ms. Wang has no regrets in this life, not to mention that she invested so much financial resources and painstaking efforts in cultivating you." He looked at Xie Sinian with deep meaning in his eyes, and then, without waiting for Xie Sinian to speak, he went on again The subject changed, "But since I'm here, I want to explain a small matter here. Lawyer Sun..." The man in the suit and leather shoes behind him immediately took a step forward when he heard this, and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, "It's like this, Mr. Lu once gave a gallery under his name to Ms. Wang Ming as a gift. After the old man passed away, we found that there was a little problem with the gift procedures, that is to say, the gallery should still belong to the Lu family. In view of the relationship between Ms. Wang Ming and the Lu family, we have not changed her The right to operate the gallery and all the profits of the gallery belong to Ms. Wang. However, now that Ms. Wang is critically ill, it is necessary for us to explain to you that if unfortunately, Ms. Wang passes away, the Lu family will Take back all permissions to the gallery. If Ms. Wang’s descendants have any objections, they can go to my law firm and I will give a more detailed explanation.” Xie Sinian laughed back angrily, "Your Lu family is rich and powerful, so naturally you can do whatever you want. Death is nothing, so what is there to worry about?" "It would be great if we can reach a consensus on this matter, but I think it is necessary to ask Miss Gu for her opinion on this matter." The man said politely. Zhi An pulled Ji Ting forward, "You can do whatever you like, it has nothing to do with me." When she walked past the man, she suddenly burst into a bright smile, "By the way, I almost forgot, Lu Sheng, has anyone told you that you are a complete pervert." Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so that everyone around her could hear her clearly.Lawyer Sun, who was standing behind the man, couldn't help but change his face: "Miss Gu, you have to consider the consequences of speaking like this." Zhi'an had a nonchalant expression on his face. A strange look flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes, but he raised his head and stopped Lawyer Sun. He smiled back at Zhi'an, "I never care about beautiful girls, especially beautiful girls with personality. Ms. Gu looks just like Ling Tang. Just as charming back then, I hope you're luckier than her." Ji Ting was still wearing his white coat at work at this time, he left with Zhi An with a little embarrassment under the puzzled expressions of Vice President Zhao and others.Along the way, he felt that he had a lot to say to Zhi An, but he had too many thoughts for a while, he secretly looked at her expression as cold as ice, and deeply felt that now is not a good time to talk about things between them. Zhi An followed him to the door of the outpatient department, and said, "Go back to work, I still have something to do." "Where are you going? How can I find you?" Ji Ting was in a hurry. He was always afraid that she would turn around like before, leaving him alone. "It's easier for me to find you." She let go of the hands they had been holding. Ji Ting was a little disappointed, but he knew Zhi'an's temper, so he didn't ask any further, just said: "I...I'll wait for you to come to me." Zhi An smiled, turned around and left, she walked a few steps, then turned around and found that Ji Ting was still looking at her, so she said angrily, "Why are you still here?" Ji Ting smiled, "I watched you go, just wondering if you would look back at me." Zhi An lowered his head, not knowing what to think, Ji Ting was hesitating whether he should move forward, she had already stepped forward, her hands hooked his neck, he felt her lips pressed against him, without hesitation When he kissed her back and put his cheeks together, he felt the wetness around her eyes. When he walked back to the consulting room, it wasn't that he didn't notice the narrow eyes of his colleagues. Even Professor Yuan teased him, "The young man usually looks gentle and gentle, but unexpectedly he is quite enthusiastic. It's no wonder why our hospital has such a beautiful little girlfriend. Doctors and nurses, you don't even care about them." Within a few days, Ji Ting began to realize that he was extremely stupid for not insisting on letting Zhian leave his contact information. He actually believed that she would really come to him, but every day, he waited and failed. During the period, sometimes when I saw similar tall and thin backs in the hospital, I was overjoyed for no reason, followed by a long period of disappointment. He thought of that night on the top of the mountain more than once, it was the first time in his life that he experienced such extreme happiness, the joy of sharing with the person he dreamed of.When he was trembling and shooting inside Zhi'an's body, he felt that he was complete, even all the memories and waiting were complete.He finally has the most kept secrets that belong to him and the people he loves. However, she didn't come to him, and even the people on the left bank said that she had taken a long vacation for a while. A week after he separated from her at the gate of the hospital, he learned of the death of a patient in Room 528 of the Hepatobiliary Department.According to the nurse on duty over there, the whole death process was quite peaceful. There was no struggle before death, and no crying from relatives. Only a man who claimed to be her friend saw her die, but from the beginning to the end, that man did not I personally took a look at her body and entrusted the staff of the hospital and funeral home to handle it on my behalf, but finally took away her ashes. Ji Ting knows who that man is, he doesn't like Xie Sinian, on the contrary, he cares about Xie Sinian's position in Zhian's heart, but at this moment, he sympathizes with this man. He still remembered what Zhi An said to Wang Ming before his death, pointing at him in front of the hospital bed, and then recalled the occasional sad look of his father who had made great achievements in academia, and some answers were ready to come out, but he was unwilling to delve into it. People are dead, and all the love and hate in the past should be wiped out.Of course, he didn't intend to disclose this matter to anyone, why bother to expose those old scars, he has no right to interfere with the affairs of the previous generation, he just wants to be with Zhi'an well.
