Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Jade Broken

For many days in a row, Ji Ting was not in a hurry to return home after get off work. Sometimes he would stay in the hospital very late, sometimes he would drive the car to a random place to stay alone, and sometimes he would go to a place where he had been with Liu Jilin several times. PUB sits till midnight, like now.Because he is very aware of his drinking capacity, he does not order alcohol, and he never indulges in front of strangers, even with the cover of the night.He just kept smoking, one after another, within three hours, the ashtray in front of him was full of messy cigarette butts, the scene was full of joy and wildness, it didn't matter, he just wanted to be alone.Of course, there are also people who come up to strike up a conversation, most of them are women, and there are also men. Without exception, they say, "Shall we have a drink together? Why are you alone?" He declined, and then asked himself, why am I alone?

When Liu Jilin sat beside him, he took the cigarette from his mouth and smiled softly. "What are you laughing at?" Liu Jilin was not in the mood to make a joke at the moment. "I was thinking, which one of you will come here first, and it really is you." Liu Jilin snatched his cigarette and threw it at his feet, "What the hell do you want? You are like this, and Zhiyi is also like this. Do you have to drive people crazy?" Ji Ting has already heard that after Zhiyi refused him to send her back that day, she soon became seriously ill. Her health was not good, and she was so weak that she couldn't eat or drink under the depression. After being discharged from the hospital, he went home to recuperate, and has been lingering on the sick bed.She said that she caught a cold when she went out for a walk early in the morning, but Ji Ting knew that her illness was more caused by sadness.

He rested his chin on one hand and looked at Liu Jilin seriously, "If you were me, what would you do?" "Fuck, what's the matter?" Liu Jilin flicked his hair agitatedly, not knowing what to say. There was bitterness in Ji Ting's smile, "No one has to pay the bill for another person's feelings, even if that person is as close as they are——not okay." "She's like this, why don't you just take pity on her?" Liu Jilin growled in a low voice. "Then who pity me, who pity you?" Ji Ting looked at his good friend for many years, why are the people he loves so humble?

"I don't think as much as you guys. I only know that loving someone should make her happy and make myself happy. But what about you? You are obviously waiting for Gu Zhi'an, why don't you even dare to admit it! You just wait." You can't wait for her until you die! She is living better than you now! She is young and beautiful, famous and wealthy, and many rich bosses surround her. If she has the slightest nostalgia for you, don't Even the art exhibition in front of the house will be temporarily canceled!" Ji Ting pretended not to hear his words, but the hands hanging by his legs tightened and let go helplessly. He knew that everything Liu Jilin said was true. The media searched for every whereabouts of her, and the more he learned, the farther away his Gu Zhian was from him. This has been the case since he was a child. He could only watch her colorful world from a distance, and now she is flying higher and higher. , even the face has been blurred.Originally thought she would come back, but who knows that the exhibition is just around the corner, even the tickets for the exhibition are mostly sold out, but her agent unilaterally announced the cancellation of the exhibition in her hometown, without reason or explanation, only that she was willing to bear all the costs. For the breach of contract fee, the last stop of the exhibition will be in G City, the largest city in the south.

Everything has changed, only the waywardness in her bones has not changed. After finally saying goodbye to Liu Jilin, it was already four o'clock in the morning when Ji Ting returned home. He washed off the smell of tobacco and alcohol all over his body, and lay back on the bed, terribly sober. The most important item was nowhere to be found. He stopped and thought for a while, making sure that he would not forget it somewhere—he was always a cautious person, let alone something so important, so he had to Digging hard, searching every possible place for it to appear. With the flick of the switch, the light in his room suddenly turned on, which made him, who was used to the darkness, half-cover his eyes for a moment, unable to adapt. In the dazzling light, he saw his mother in pajamas standing at the door of the room, Then came Ji Peiwen slowly.

"It's so late, what are you looking for?" Xu Shuyun coughed twice in the early morning chill, she rubbed her forehead and asked her son softly. "Am I arguing with you? I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, I can't find an important patient's information for a while, I will pay more attention to it, you go back to sleep." After he finished speaking, he continued to move his hands, and after a few seconds, he found that his parents were still standing quietly at the door looking at him, with no intention of going back to the room. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head again, he met the eyes of the two elders at the door, and no one spoke. It was a silence that they knew each other but didn't want to tell.

Finally, Xu Shuyun broke the embarrassment, "Ji Ting, is this what you are looking for?" She took out a plane ticket from the big pocket of her pajamas, looking tired. Ji Ting, who had been leaning over to rummage through the drawers, straightened up slowly, and looked at the elder at the door with a completely strange look. After a while, he smiled, and stepped forward, "So it's here, Mom, Please give it to me." Xu Shuyun looked at her son and shook her head slowly, "What do you want to do? Go find her? Isn't it enough that you have waited for her for so many years? How many stupid things do you want to do? This is crazy, Ji Ting, wake up please? "

Why did everyone see that he was waiting for her? He once thought that his acting skills were very good.Ji Ting raised his head slightly, tried to make himself breathe calmly, and then said softly, "I'm such an old man, I know what I should do, Dad, Mom, don't worry about my business, return the ticket to me, go back and rest, okay?" ?” "I won't give it back to you. I'm just a son like you. I don't want you to waste your whole life for her. What kind of person is Zhi An? She has been used to being wild since she was a child. Who can hold her? You? She was just joking with you, and then she forgot that you are nothing in her eyes. Don't be stupid, son, listen to your mother, turn around, don't look for her, don't wait for her, be good Can't you live a good life?" Xu Shuyun's eyes began to flicker.

"I don't understand why each of you likes to make decisions for me. Everyone says it's for my own good. Is there anyone who knows better than me what I want?" "You know it! You are so fascinated by her that you don't know anything. Zhiyi is such a good girl. She does this for you. You don't even want to look at her? Even if your father and I live with you every day , I can’t even feel that you are a little bit happy, is there nothing else in this world worth worrying about besides Gu Zhi’an?” "I just scruple too many things. I used to want everyone of you to be happy, I didn't want to hurt anyone, and the result? No one was happy, and everyone felt hurt. Me! Who ever thought of me What kind of life do I need, who do I want to be with? I'm fed up with this life like a specimen. Yes, you can all see, I'm crazy, I just want Gu Zhian, regardless of her Do you have me in your heart, I am willing, how about it? This way I feel that I have flesh and blood, so I am willing!"

Ji Peiwen and Xu Shuyun were stunned by such a son, and even Ji Ting felt incredible, but all of this came out so naturally, as if this kind of catharsis had lingered in his heart for a long time, and every time, every time, he forcefully suppressed it go down.Now that he finally said it, he also felt that he was really crazy, and it didn't matter if he was crazy. In all these years, he had never been so calm and comfortable like this moment. He looked at his mother in tears, and his heart was sad and calm, "I'm sorry, Mom, I'm also very sad to make you like this, but every word I say is from my heart, I beg you again, return the ticket Me!" He slowly stretched out his hand to Xu Shuyun.

Xu Shuyun shook her head again, holding her husband tightly behind her, as if drawing her last support, "No, you are our son, I can't let you make mistakes again and again for that woman, she doesn't love you at all, you go It will only hurt..." Then, she let go of her husband's hand and tore up the ticket in front of Ji Ting. She thought he would be in a hurry, but he didn't. He watched her tear it up and then crumpled it into a ball. The excitement just now was gone, and he said calmly, "Actually, we all know that it's not you that I want to leave." You can keep the ticket if you hide it. Mom, I beg you to give me the ticket. I want to give us some room. I hope to love her and you at the same time. After all, we are a family. Pushed to the point of no return?" "Ji Ting! What are you talking about? Is this the attitude you should have when speaking to your parents?" Ji Peiwen, who had been silent all this time, finally said angrily, "What is Gu Zhi'an? What did she give you to make you live forever?" Don't you care about your parents?" "I didn't think about leaving you alone, you forced me to choose, so I only have a choice." Ji Peiwen laughed back angrily, "This is my good son? You don't want anything for her? No matter how good Zhi'an is, she is just a woman. For such a long life, what woman do you want? Besides, she is not suitable for you. You Where is your sanity?" Ji Ting also laughed, "Sensible? Dad, I'm not you. You are proud of your rationality, you can forget the person you loved and live a peaceful life, even if she died alone in a foreign land She glanced at it, okay, maybe at the last moment, you are not important to her. I just want to ask, have you really done what you want to do in your life, have you loved who you want to love, are you happy Ever? If reason makes me like you for the rest of my life, what do I need reason for?" Ji Peiwen's face turned pale immediately, and his whole body trembled violently. He didn't know whether it was out of anger or other emotions. His hand trembled and pointed in the direction of the gate, and it took him a long time to say a word, "Or just forget about her and live a good life. You have to If you want her, get out! I'll treat it as if I don't have a son, and I don't see anything!" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Shuyun grabbed her husband's hand, "You don't want a son, but I want a son. I'm just a single seedling." Regardless of his wife's tears, Ji Peiwen still looked at Ji Ting, "I never say my words twice." Ji Ting nodded, turned around and picked up the Jun Kiln fine-mouth bottle on the antique rack at hand, quietly put it in front of his eyes for a while, and then threw it mercilessly on the floor. The porcelain bottle was suddenly broken, and in such a quiet early morning, the sound of clanging and shattering was enough to startle people's dreams.In the eerie silence after a loud bang, he turned and picked up his packed luggage. "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom." Ji Ting's house was rented out two years ago. After leaving his parents' house, it was inconvenient to terminate the agreement with the tenant immediately, so he lived in a hotel near the hospital for a few days.He must have been heartbroken. His parents didn’t call him until he boarded the plane to G City. Everything in the quiet night in the early morning was like his most cherished Jun kiln with green and green holes. The bottle was shattered under his feet, he walked out stepping on the fragments, it hurt, but he didn't think about turning back. The second day he arrived in G City was the last day of the Zhi'an Art Exhibition. In the Greenland Central Art Museum, he saw many paintings and many people, but he didn't see her alone.Maybe she has been here before, and he stayed briefly among the crowd and the spotlight, but he couldn't catch her in his sight, so he stayed in front of her paintings for a long time, staring at each painting for a long time, He imagined how they were once born in her hands, or how her fingers touched them like this, or how her eyes stayed on them like this, and in this way, each painting had a life before his eyes. Her portraits are just like her people, there is stillness and uneasiness hidden behind the stunning.He tried to use them to understand every minute of her emotions at that time, from a young girl traveling alone in a foreign land to a cutting-edge female oil painter who became famous in one fell swoop, every step, how she walked, whether she was happy or still Lonely, have you found a real island where you can dock with peace of mind... The well-trained exhibition hall management staff came to him and apologized to remind him that the closing time has come. When he turned around, he was surprised by the wide and empty exhibition hall Here, he is the only one left.He smiled apologetically at the management staff, and walked out the door. The marble floor was shining, and he heard his own footsteps echoing behind him. It was Mo Yuhua who greeted him alone at night.In the past few years after leaving the Affiliated Hospital of G University, she is the only one who still has contact with those old colleagues. They would talk on the phone, and most of the time they consulted or exchanged opinions on some professional issues, and sometimes asked about each other's current situation, so he also knew that Mo Yuhua was still single until now.So after sitting down for a while, he looked at her and couldn't help but sigh, "I remember you were the same age as me, you are a girl after all, it's time to think about yourself, don't waste yourself." Mo Yuhua just laughed, "The same principle applies to you." Ji Ting laughed at himself, "Yeah, I almost forgot that I'm not much better myself, so I have no right to criticize you." Mo Yuhua shook his head, "No, you are different from me, at least you have memories...Don't talk about this, judging by your appearance, you should return home disappointed today." Seeing that Ji Ting was silent, she lowered her head and picked up the memory from her bag. He dug out something and silently pushed it in front of him. He picked it up, opened it, and it turned out to be a very chic and exquisitely printed auction invitation letter, which said "Rongbaozhai Contemporary Oil Painting Auction". The time was three days later, and the prominent position of the invitation letter was There is a long list of names of painters, among which there are many masters who have been famous for a long time, and there are also young painters who have been newly established by Xiao He in recent years. Gu Zhi'an just happens to be one of them.Attached to the invitation letter is not only the bidding number plate, but also detailed auction information such as "Auction Instructions" and "Auction Catalogue", which are thickly bound into a volume. Ji Ting looked at Mo Yuhua in surprise, and said, "Even if she didn't show up for today's painting exhibition, you will definitely see her at the auction in three days' time. It is said that this is already the biggest oil painting auction of the year. She Very well, and so is your luck." "This... can you tell me where it came from?" His doubts are not unreasonable. Artworks have always been just toys for the rich, especially for oil painting auctions of this size. Those who can receive such an invitation letter with a bidding number plate must be either rich or expensive, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people like them can get. Mo Yuhua smiled, "Don't worry, I entrusted a good friend's husband to get this, I hope it can help you." Mo Yuhua is not a hypocritical person, and this thing may be really important to him, so Ji Ting didn't show that hypocritical courtesy, he accepted it, and he really didn't have any words other than thank you. "Don't thank me. I don't like to owe people the least. It's great. We're finally even."
