Chapter 44 Chapter 44 After walking on the street for a long time

, she saw a flower shop.

She looked through the cash in her bag and found a few hundred yuan. She spent

a long time picking and choosing. The flowers were indeed expensive and beautiful, but they were combined into a bunch of flowers with no pattern. She didn't know whether she liked it or she liked it.

When I went back to the hospital, I happened to meet Xiao Chen. Without waiting for Xiao Zhen to speak, he said, "Miss Xiao Zhen, don't go now. Mr. Qiao is fine. It's troublesome enough to deal with that group of people. They can't be driven away."

"Is there anything wrong with the CT scan?"

"A little on the lungs."

"Ah?" Xiao Zhen asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Chen said, "It's a problem that all men love to have. It's a smoking problem. There's nothing else. You can go back first. If you really want to come, you can come tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Qiao will be discharged in the afternoon."

"So soon?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's really fine. Originally, he could be discharged today after gastric lavage. The doctor asked Mr. Qiao to do a physical examination and asked him to rest for a few more days. Mr. Qiao has a lot of things to do and can only stay in the hospital for one day, so he will be discharged tomorrow."

Qiao Xiaozhen did not go home. She sat in the garden behind the hospital for several hours, lost in thought for an afternoon. There was a long traffic jam on the way home, but the flowers in her hand were still blooming vigorously.

She got off the taxi and went back to the hospital. The ward was cold and deserted at night. Except for the flowers piled at the door that made people feel lively, there was no other sound.

Qiao Xiaozhen pushed the door open and went in. The room was full of red and green, which was particularly bright, as if her bouquet was not presentable.

Qiao Yihua slept very peacefully. She leaned on the edge of the bed for a while, moved the flowers on the bedside cabinet to the far corner, and gently opened the door and left.

She didn't know why there was no one at night, so she asked the nurse if she needed care. The nurse said that the hospital regulations only allowed one person, and there was already an accompanying person, who said it was Mr. Qiao's assistant.

When Qiao Yihua was discharged from the hospital, the whole family welcomed him and prepared a large table of dishes. He didn't have much appetite, so he simply ate a few bites and went back to his room to rest.

Even though Xiaozhen didn't have much status now, she was still the second person who could talk, "You all should eat, don't waste it. The doctor asked him to eat something light and non-greasy recently, and chicken soup and the like are not needed. Just make some fruit plates and boiled noodles."

Later, they fell into a dead cycle again, not talking, not communicating, and ignoring her.

In fact, Qiao Xiaozhen heard him say that night, you want to be liberated.

Doesn't liberation mean breaking up?

But more than a week has passed, and he hasn't mentioned it again.

In fact, this cycle of back and forth and quarreling only deepened the rift.

Finally one day, he was in good health and could eat normally as before. After dinner, he would make phone calls, look at the computer for a while, and rest in the small garden.

Qiao Xiaozhen stood on the other side of the garden for a long time. She mustered up the courage to walk over. She didn't know what to say and stuttered a little: "I...you...did you tell the truth that day?"

Qiao Yihua didn't even raise his head and was a little indifferent: "I don't remember how much I said, what was true or false."

"That day, that night."

"I asked you to call Xiao Chen. Is there any problem? Thank you for saving me. I'll buy you a gift tomorrow as a thank you."

Xiaozhen knew he did it on purpose and said directly: "You said, you said I can leave."

Qiao Yihua wrapped himself in his coat. The temperature was quite cold at night. He denied: "Do you also want to go to the hospital to make an appointment to check your ears?"

The care that Qiao Xiaozhen had accumulated with great difficulty was gone in an instant. "You said I was going to be liberated, what does that mean?"

He suddenly stood up and walked over: "Of course it still means the same thing, but I changed my mind. Didn't you go to the hospital to ask? You knew that the doctor wanted me to quit smoking and drinking. I have given up all my hobbies, and the only thing left is to go to bed with you."

Qiao Xiaozhen knew that he was speaking angrily, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.

He said in a cold voice: "Sometimes I really want to know what's going on in your head. You have a good life, but what are you thinking about every day? You have a high sense of morality, okay, am I single now? Are there any moral constraints for single men and women? You want to be loved and cared for, and you can make demands if I don't do enough! If they don't like you and make things difficult for you, everyone in the yard can be fired and only the two of us will be left. Why don't you think about why I control you? If you can go to work honestly and go home to be with me, would these things happen?"

Qiao Xiaozhen: "Do you think so?"

Qiao Yihua: "Don't act like everyone owes you. Don't even think about that."

He changed his mind and said in a very firm tone that it was not negotiable.

This person really wandered between her softness and dislike every once in a while, and she always felt that she didn't know him at all.

Rationalize what you do, make the reasons sound reasonable, and say that everything has its own reasons. Anyway, it's all her fault.

Xiaozhen no longer has the energy to argue with him. She never thinks that her body is very attractive, nor does she think he is obsessed with her. She just wants to add a little fun to her peaceful life.

She has nothing to say and her mood is not high. He

turned around and left silently .

"When you see me, you either turn your face away or ask for freedom and leave. I have a dog that will lick my hand and be happy to see me. What are you aggrieved about? You look like you want to die."

She didn't look back or answer.

People who use cold violence will never have a good end.

Qiao Yihua walked over and hugged her waist, and said in a low and negotiating tone: "Why don't you be like before? You know I don't like people being clingy the most. I will definitely get annoyed after a long time. Then you can go wherever you want."

She opened her eyes in surprise, "What did you say?"

"What are you pretending?"

Qiao Xiaozhen couldn't believe her ears, and looked up at him: "When others asked me if I had a boyfriend, I said I did, because I especially didn't want to have a very dark, immoral and inappropriate relationship with you, but I know you are not. Why do you always do things that are different from what you taught me before? You always like to play with me and mock me. Every time I talk to you, I am so scared, brother, I am really scared."

I am afraid that he will use more profound words, afraid that the picture and emotion of meeting him when I was a teenager will become more and more distant, and afraid that one day we will really turn against each other and have nothing.

All along, neither her own parents nor he taught her much about love. She only learned a little from books and movies after college. She was not taught how to get along with him or how to deal with things. He was either very extreme or very gentle. He would not give her what she wanted, and would repeat what she did not

want over and over again. It was hard to guarantee that she would do anything again when she lost control of her emotions, to the point of no return. They were all using the feelings accumulated over time

to consume endless pain, until one day there was nothing left in the bottle , and it was time for it to break. Qiao Yihua let go of her hand. She would always go back on her decision after making it. What was she going back on? She was going back on her decision, calling him "brother" in her soft voice, she was going back on her decision ...

Qiao Xiaozhen said, "Don't make me lose all my gratitude for you."

"That's not necessary!" Qiao Yihua said, "Hate me if you want to. I'm telling you, I won't regret what I've done."

Xiaozhen looked at him blankly, "I don't hate you, I..."

What did I mean, she couldn't say it.

It had been a long time since Qiao Xiaozhen felt unwell, and she didn't want to think too much, because she was living in a daze. Thinking carefully, the last menstrual period was a long time ago.

The reason why she couldn't be sure was that it was different from the last pregnancy. There was no change in her body, no vomiting and pregnancy reaction, but she had no appetite for food. She didn't like sour or sweet food and ate normally.

She didn't know whether to buy a test strip to test it. She thought about it for a long time and went to the pharmacy for several days.

After following the instructions, there was no reaction, so she was relieved.

It seemed that they had done it once in a daze recently, and there was no other relationship. It shouldn't be such a coincidence.

Not long after, she received a very thick mail. Xiaozhen rarely received anything. The postman said that the document was very important and needed to be delivered to her in person. The address was mailed from Xi'an.

It included Qiao Xiaozhen's ID card, bank card, and a thick statement.

After she opened it, she saw a certificate issued by the police station where her household registration was located.

These certificates were similar to what Xiao Wei had said before, and there were also statements from Qiao Yihua and his father's local colleagues, signed in person.

The content was very official, without any subjective personal color.

Xiaozhen closed it without reading much.

A few days ago, she asked the house to help buy a train ticket to Hangzhou. She bought it secretly, hoping to leave before the Spring Festival when Qiao Yihua was the busiest.

Now it seems unnecessary.

Think about how sensitive, uncomfortable, and painful she was about this matter a few months ago, as if nothing in the world could pierce her heart as much as this matter, and now that it has become a foregone conclusion, it feels empty.

Qiao Yihua didn't come back at night, and she made up her mind for a long time at the bedside before picking up the phone to dial. She

kept switching between calling the company's phone number and the mobile phone number.

In the end, she called the company's phone number.

The secretary transferred the call.

His voice was a bit lazy, without the words "hello" and "hello", and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiaozhen said, "I received the documents."

"Yeah."

"Should I sign and mail it back directly?"

Qiao Yihua's voice was very flat: "I'll let Xiao Wei go and pick it up."

"Do you still need to go in person?"

He seemed to be busy with something else, paused for a while and said, "I should, maybe after the New Year."

Xiaozhen said "hmm".
