Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Fish Habits

Zhiyi is twenty-six years old, and she has not seen the world for the ninth year. In comparison, she is more used to the latter calculation method.Although she couldn't see it, she could hear her parents' sighs. Some time ago, her aunt introduced a "male friend" to her. She didn't want to go, but she didn't want to make her parents sad, so she attended the dinner with Wang Fan.From the beginning to the end, she seldom spoke. After she came back, she heard her aunt say that the man was quite satisfied with her. The man was a high school teacher, and he was considered an educated person. He was thirty-five years old and divorced from his wife. Seven-year-old daughter, the aunt also said that the man did not dislike her for being blind, but he valued her gentleness and sweetness. She is not young anymore, and there is not much room for choice. This opportunity is rare.

She didn't speak at that time, and felt that her mother who had always loved her was also silent. Three days later, the other party called their house, and it was Wang Fan who answered the phone on her behalf. After hanging up the phone, Wang Fan said to her: "Zhi Yi, he asked you to go out for a walk together." Zhiyi bowed her head and said nothing, and then she heard her mother say: "Go, Zhiyi, that man's mother has also paid attention to you, he looks quite upright, and he can see that he has a good temper. Most importantly, he has a good impression of you. Pretty good, it should work."

She thought her mother would say no for her. "Mom... I, I don't want to go." She said with some difficulty. There was also bitterness in Wang Fan's voice, "Silly boy, how can mother not know what you're thinking, how long can you wait? If it weren't for that incident back then, it would be fine, but your eyes... Listen to your mother, mother I also hate you, but you have to find someone you can rely on for life, I also know that this man was married and had children, that is wronging you..." "I'm not feeling well, Mom. I'll go into the room to rest for a while. Auntie, please say sorry for me and thank her." She touched the armrest of the sofa, stood up, and slowly walked back to the room.Sitting at the table next to the bed, she heard her mother sigh, and subconsciously rubbed the goldfish bowl on the table, her fingertips accidentally touched the water, and it was cold.

I don't know how long she sat there, until her mother knocked on her door again, and she came back to her senses, "Zhiyi, you have a friend." She knows who it is.Sure enough, a familiar voice was soon heard. "Zhiyi, look what I brought you. It's not easy to get these tiger-headed dragon eyes. I specially entrusted you... Have you ever cried?" "No, bring it here, how many pieces in total, and what color?" Hearing Liu Jilin's voice, she felt relieved.He sat on a stool not far from her, and told her about the origins of these goldfishes with great interest. When he talked about the joy, she could imagine his ecstatic look. Slowly, the corners of his lips also appeared. smile.

She got acquainted with Liu Jilin when he almost hit her by mistake while driving in school. That time, she was startled by the sound of his emergency brakes, and the glass cylinder in her hand shattered to the ground.In fact, she knew that he was not to blame that time, because she didn't notice the approaching car, but he kept apologizing, and after a few days, he compensated her for a set of valuable family fish farming equipment.Because of Ji Ting's relationship, she and Liu Jilin also knew each other before, and because of this relationship at first, Liu Jilin took extra care of her.She and him have very different personalities, and there was no deep communication at the beginning, but after getting in touch with him for a long time, she also found that Liu Jilin, who kept blaming himself for swearing in front of her from time to time, was also a wonderful person. Take care of her more and more.

At first, Wang Fan and Gu Weizhen did not approve of the friendship between Zhiyi and Liu Jilin. From their point of view, Liu Jilin had been involved in society and knew people from all walks of life. Although he had a little money, he was a philistine after all, and Zhiyi was pure , he is complicated, they are always worried that he has bad intentions, and they are afraid that their daughter will suffer, but year after year, Zhiyi has never planned to find a partner, and they have to admit a cruel reality. In the eyes of the daughter, she is as precious as a jewel, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a disabled girl from a teacher's family. The family they think is a good match may not accept such a wife or daughter-in-law.

Why don't they know about Zhi Yi's thoughts? In the first two years since Ji Ting came back, they also thought that Zhi Yi and him should be able to be together. It's someone Zhiyi likes in her heart, and she will definitely treat Zhiyi well.Who knows that the Goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams. Although Ji Ting has not explicitly rejected it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he really has no intentions for Zhi Yi.For this reason, although Wang Fan secretly had a little annoyance in his heart, what could be done about the affair of the youngest children, even the close relatives of the parties involved?So in the past two years, the couple also knew that if Zhiyi could marry Liu Jilin, it would actually be a good home. Looking at Liu Jilin's behavior towards Zhiyi in the past few years, it can be seen that he has intentions , What else were they asking for, they just hoped that their daughter would be happy and worry-free for the rest of her life, so they secretly let go.Unexpectedly, Zhiyi, a solid-eyed and silly child, knew that Liu Jilin could not be unintentional to her, so she pretended not to notice it.Wang Fan also hinted to her, don't miss it, but she actually said, "Mom, don't force me." After going back and forth, they gave up hope, and then Aunt Zhiyi introduced someone.

Listening to Liu Jilin's endless jokes, Zhiyi was not unhappy.Sometimes she also wondered that since she lost her eyesight, although she seemed to be adapting to life in the dark as if nothing had happened, her first smile came from Liu Jilin, who was always regarded as a bad person by her parents.She is not stupid. A man can care about and accompany a woman for several years. His intentions cannot be more obvious. Many times when he was alone together, he also clearly said to her: "Zhiyi, if you want, I want to make you happy forever." She is really grateful to him, she got complete relaxation and unburdened happiness by his side, even when she was around Ji Ting, she never felt such happiness, when she thought of Ji Ting, she felt She is like a grass, ordinary and humble, but she is willing to wait for him in the mud.He never loved her. At the moment when she was eighteen years old, she lost not only the light, but also the love she longed for. It turns out that the person in his heart has always been Zhi An, the Zhi An she loved so much install.

Zhiyi doesn't hate Zhi'an, she never did, she thought, if she were Ji Ting, she would love a girl like Zhi'an like moths, and she also really loves her only sister, Zhi'an is an unhappy girl girl, too many things are unfair to her.But she couldn't help but love Ji Ting, Ji Ting was the only thing she had in her memory when she was a girl, and sometimes she didn't even know if she really loved him that much, or she was used to loving him.How terrible the habit is, just like a person needs air, just like a fish needs water, she needs to love him. After chatting for a long time, Zhiyi realized that she should find a new glass tank to put the fish he brought in. She found a suitable fish tank, and Liu Jilin volunteered to pour the fish in the bag into the tank.

"Be careful." She reminded, and before she could finish speaking, she heard "Oops" from him, followed by a few small thumping sounds on the floor.She was in a hurry, knowing that he was not a delicate worker, and felt sorry for the fish that fell on the ground, so she squatted down and groped, "I will come, I will come", he pressed her hand that had no direction, "Hurry up, it's been a long time out of the water I can't live anymore." Her words were full of anxiety, and he tried to catch the fish with both hands, but the goldfish left the water fluttered violently, and the fish's body was slippery, and he couldn't hold it firmly after several touches. in hand.Zhiyi was at the side, listening to the sound of the fish's tail slapping, the hopeless struggle, each sound was weaker than the sound.

Sweat dripped from Liu Jilin's forehead, and the busier he became, the more confused he became, "Forget it." Zhiyi's hand suddenly grabbed him, and he turned around in confusion, her hand was terribly cold, "Let it go, say Maybe that’s fine.” He didn’t speak for a while, and the two of them listened in silence as the struggling voice gradually fell silent, and it didn’t move anymore. "Zhiyi?" There was worry in his usually happy voice. "It's okay, I'm okay." She shook her head, her hand was still on his arm, trying to calm his doubts with a smile, but she cried silently without warning. Liu Jilin was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her. This poor girl, he was afraid that it would be difficult for her parents to explain, so he could only clumsily pat her on the back and let her cry.It wasn't until she finally calmed down that he helped her to sit up. He hesitated, but he still took out a magazine that he brought with him when he took it out. Zhiyi couldn't see it, but he could see it clearly. The cover character of the men's boutique weekly magazine, the beautiful woman who shows her sharpness is half a smile, her pair of phoenix eyes seem to be ruthless, but it is also intriguing. In the lower corner of the magazine is a prominent line of text - "Gu Zhi'an's Visual Feast", Opening the inside page, in addition to the large-scale pictures of the characters, there are also detailed text introductions, such as "the solo exhibition of domestic cutting-edge oil painter Gu Zhi'an has been held recently, and there are many followers from inside and outside the industry", and there is no shortage of " Her paintings are wonderful art, she is the art of God" and other sensational headlines. Of course, there are more gossips such as "The mysterious rich businessman chases after him, and the jewels are hard to buy." He read word by word, Zhiyi listened quietly.In the end, she asked him for a magazine, and according to the position he said, she lightly touched Zhi An's photo with her fingers, the hardcover coated paper, smooth and cool, Zhi An, her sister. "Does he know?" Liu Jilin was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized, "No, I haven't told him yet, he rarely reads such magazines." "Really." Zhi Yi's hand did not leave the magazine, and then, under Liu Jilin's gaze, she raised her hand and forcibly tore off the huge magazine cover, and then laboriously tore it little by little until it shattered . Ji Ting went home for dinner at night. When they ate alone, their family always advocated not talking about food, so they always ate in silence.Suddenly, Xu Shuyun sighed, Ji Ting and his father looked at each other, they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, so he put down the bowl, "Mom, what's wrong?" "I went out to do some shopping this afternoon. I ran into your Aunt Wang at the school gate. I asked Zhiyi how she was doing. Her eyes were red. She said that a relative introduced a good date to her. The man said yes. Yi was very satisfied, she also went to see her once, and your Auntie Wang advised her not to miss the fate, she simply said that she would never marry anyone in her life. Such a wonderful child, why is it such a pity..." Ji Ting remained silent and continued to eat. After a while, he still couldn't avoid his mother's worried eyes, "Mom, what exactly do you want to say?" Xu Shuyun said, "Son, Mom is not interfering in your affairs. It's just that your Aunt Wang didn't say anything. We all know what's going on with Zhiyi. You are not young anymore, so I will not I understand, you guys have hit each other so well since you were young, why can't you get along together, don't tell me you'll spend your whole life like this..." "Stop talking, Mom." Ji Ting remained expressionless, and Xu Shuyun suddenly wondered why she had never felt so indifferent behind her son's usual gentle demeanor. "Zhiyi has the right to decide her own future. As for me, I can only say that emotional matters are not necessarily either-or. Yes, Zhiyi and I have always had a good relationship. Because of this, I am more Don't delay her. I'm such an old man, I know it well, don't worry about it. " "How can I not worry, I'm just a son like you..." Xu Shuyun shook her head. Ji Peiwen patted his wife's hand, "Let's eat, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I believe Ji Ting knows what he is doing." That's all for Xu Shuyun. Ji Ting picked up some food for his mother with a smile, and when he lowered his head to eat, the taste was like chewing wax.In fact, he had already heard about what his mother said from Liu Jilin, but he didn't tell his mother. In fact, during this period of time, Zhiyi would come to him from time to time and call him more times.A few days ago, just after he got off work, he received a call from her, saying that she wanted to go to the hairdresser to wash her hair, but the road from her house to the hairdresser is currently being remodeled, and she can't go alone. No time, asked him if he was free, and wanted to trouble him to take her there. At the beginning, Ji Ting was a little embarrassed, but he thought that her eyesight was inconvenient and she really needed someone to take care of her. Since she had already called him, even if it was out of concern for the sister next door, it was inconvenient to refuse, so she accompanied her to the . He didn't expect it would take so long for a girl to take care of her hair. She shampooed her hair, treated it with nutrient oil, and finally trimmed it. He waited for more than two hours. Fortunately, he was always a patient person.After everything was over, he walked up to Zhiyi and asked, "Are you all right, Zhiyi, shall I take you home?" Zhiyi was still sitting in the mirror, she turned her head towards Ji Ting and smiled slightly, "Does it look good?" He froze for a moment before realizing she was referring to her hair.Zhiyi's hair has always been beautiful, and she has always cherished this hair. It is not permed or dyed, and it naturally flows vertically and blackly behind her back. Against her white and clean face, it is very charming. "Pretty good," he said.Unexpectedly, he saw her disappointed expression in the mirror in front of him. He knew that this was not the answer she wanted, and he felt a little sad in his heart, but he couldn't give her an illusion, even if it was just a little, it would only delay her even more. . Zhiyi bowed her head, her hair drooped down, half covered her face, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "You don't like it." "No, I really think it's pretty good, but I'm an amateur, so I can't say anything." He said with a smile. "Really?" She just faded away her gloomy look, with a smile on her lips, "Would it look good if I cut my hair short?" "Well... it should be pretty good, but it's not bad as it is now." Ji Ting could only be vague. "Zhiyi, go back." She didn't say anything, and obediently asked him to send it back. Later, similar things happened a few times, but most of the time he was very sorry to say that there was something wrong with the hospital, and then called Liu Jilin. But press do not mention. At first, Ji Ting thought that as long as he dealt with it calmly, Zhiyi would gradually understand and the matter would pass slowly, but unexpectedly, his mother would mention this matter at the dinner table, and he sighed in his heart. The next night, he was on night shift. When he passed one of the ward rounds, he found that a patient with gastric perforation had pressed the call light for a long time, but no nurse or doctor on duty came. He asked about the situation and went back to the duty room. Seeing the two little nurses and Xiao Zhang, the doctor on duty tonight, meeting each other in a circle, they didn't know what they were studying with great interest. It wasn't until he knocked on the door that the three of them came to their senses. "Doctor Ji..." Xiao Zhang has just been in the hospital for more than a year, and he has been assigned to Ji Ting's department. He has always performed well, but he is a little bit jealous of Ji Ting, who is always gentle and calm, the chief physician of general surgery. Ji Ting is not a harsh person. On the contrary, he is very talkative most of the time. He is superb in his business, but he never hesitates to guide young doctors who are fledgling. Even if he makes mistakes, he patiently corrects them and never hurts others. A touch of alienation, not easy to get close to, and quite rigorous in work, very demanding.Therefore, after Ji Ting said softly, "I think you should go and see what's the matter with the call light on bed 37 that has been pressed for so long", Xiao Zhang and the two nurses blushed with shame. The nurse hurriedly followed Xiao Zhang, and the other one held a magazine in his hand, neither put it nor hid it, so he just stood there in embarrassment. Ji Ting walked over, "What's so interesting that you don't even remember the business of being on duty." There was a smile on his face, but the little nurse was in a panic, so he simply took the magazine lightly, flipped through a few pages casually, and handed it back to the nurse with a slight frown, "Yes It’s quite interesting, but what’s in the magazine is other people’s lives after all, it’s not good to delay normal work for this and affect your own life.” The little nurse nodded hastily, "I know, I will pay attention next time." Ji Ting also smiled and walked out of the duty room. After the night shift, when he was driving home, the sky had already brightened. When he drove into the school, he casually looked at the sky outside the car window. That side was faintly red, how many times he had come home from get off work in such an early morning, but he had never seriously looked at the sky above his head. The moment of dawn turned out to be so beautiful.He didn't drive home directly, but parked the car on the side of the path in the small courtyard, got out of the car, and walked a few steps carelessly. The wet grass was under his feet. He looked up at the sky for a long time, deeply Breathe, the sky is high and the clouds are small.Occasionally, a dark shadow slid past, getting farther and farther away, and he didn't know who it was flying towards. At that moment, he suddenly wanted to know, if the birds in the sky looked down at this moment, would they also see him looking up. He didn't drive the car back to the garage downstairs of his house and park it until the blue layer faded slowly and the sun was getting stronger.I don't know if it's because I've been a little tired recently, I didn't sleep all night, and I felt a slight pain in the forehead. He walked towards the direction of the stairs, his eyes lingered, and he saw a figure from the back inadvertently, and he froze there. The owner of the thin figure had short, messy hair. When the wind passed, the short hair fluttered lightly, revealing a familiar profile. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad, did even God finally notice the loneliness that he was about to drown? "Zhi...Yi?" The person in front of him turned his head when he heard the familiar footsteps, with a fair and beautiful face and empty eyes, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhiyi?It's just that the hair in the shawl no longer exists. Knowing that she couldn't see, Ji Ting still turned his face to one side, he didn't know if he could restrain the surge of heat in his eyes for a moment, he was really dizzy.It's like a dying patient waiting for a special medicine that can bring him back to heaven. He is ecstatic and panicked. He doesn't know how he can cultivate such good luck. He is waiting to take a sip before he is told that today is April Fool's Day. .Really ridiculous and cruel! "You're back." She smiled innocently, completely unaware that someone beside her had fallen from heaven. "Yeah." She heard him reply vaguely. "Don't you recognize me?" She tilted her head and smiled at him. Once upon a time, this smile was so familiar. "Why? Your hair!" He tried to relax, but it was only after the words came out that he realized that the words were blunt. Zhiyi heard it, and the smile on her face froze, "I thought you would like it." It’s useless, Ji Ting took a deep breath towards the sky, but his vision was still blurred, he embraced the panic-stricken girl in his arms, as if embracing another self, “Why can’t you be more awake?” She couldn't hear his words, so she pressed her face carefully against his chest.How long has he not hugged her?Can't breathe, can't breathe!Even breathing would shatter this dream. She whirled violently in the vortex of happiness, and then heard a voice in her ear saying: "Zhiyi, she is coming back." Finally, she fell into the whirlpool, and the water temperature that she thought she was used to was so cold, so cold!
