Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

In late December, through Chinese massage combined with Western medicine treatment, Xie Jianjia's eyes completely regained their clarity. Before she could cry with joy, Zhou Chunyan hugged her and burst into tears.

"Mom, give me a call."

"Hey, eh, okay."

"Look through my phone book. There is a person named Zhao Wanhua in it."

Zhou Chunyan followed her instructions and successfully found Zhao Wanhua.

"Call me."

Zhou Chunyan did as he was told.

beep-

After the phone rang for about ten seconds, the call was connected.

"Hey! Jiajia? You haven't contacted me for a long time. During this time, I sent you a message but you didn't reply. Did you go to the competition in Jiming City at the end of last month? Where did you get? I have a cold. I have a fever, but my mother and uncle didn't let me go. The teacher gave the place to someone else, so I couldn't see you."

The little girl's tone was full of regret.

Ever since Zhao Wanhua, she and Su Yaoyao added their contact information, the discussion at the beginning gradually evolved into trivial matters in life, and later girls' worries, and the three of them became netizens who talked about everything. Every time there is a dance competition out of town, Xie Jianjia and Zhao Wanhua will actively participate, while Su Yaoyao will hang out with them. As they meet more and more often, the relationship between the three of them becomes deeper and deeper.

Xie Jianjia's depressed mood dissipated a little when she heard the voice on the other end of the phone, "Wanhua, are you in Linhai City?"

Zhao Wanhua: "Here, why do you speak so weakly? Are you sick?"

The little girl is very perceptive.

Xie Jianjia: "I'm at the Affiliated Hospital of Linhai Medical University. Would you like to take some time to come and see me?"

Zhao Wanhua on the other end of the phone was startled and jumped up from her chair.

"What's going on? Why are you in the attached courtyard?!"

Xie Jianjia said with a long "hmm" and then said: "This matter is a bit complicated. Come over here and I will explain it to you slowly."

Zhao Wanhua: "I'll be there soon!"

Zhao Wanhua's "right away" was really fast. From the time Xie Jianjia hung up the phone to the time she appeared in front of him, it only took less than half an hour.

They only met in September, with more than three months between them, but their appearance has not changed much. The little girl wore a pure white dress underneath and a short velvet light blue denim jacket on the outside, which made her look completely different. Youthful and beautiful.

This time, the little girl was accompanied by an unfamiliar man. He seemed to be a few years older than her. It was unclear what the relationship between the two was.

Before Xie Jianjia could speak, Zhao Wanhua's eyes instantly turned red when she saw her sickly and thin body lying on the bed.

"W-what's going on with you? When I saw you in Changji City in September, weren't you still alive and kicking?!"

The girl stood beside the hospital bed, wanting to reach out and touch Xie Jianjia, but she was afraid that she would touch her wound and hurt her.

"Don't cry, don't cry. One Yaoyao has been enough to coax me for a long time. Now she is almost crying because of me. She is not Meng Jiangnu, and I can't be Fan Xiliang."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wanhua burst into laughter.

I remembered that when the three of them were chatting, they often said that it would be nice if Xie Jianjia was a man. They would definitely rush to marry her. Every time they mentioned it, Xie Jianjia looked at them with disgust and said that if she wanted to marry, she would marry someone who is gentle, petty, sensible and well-behaved. Yes, I wouldn't want these two "hotheads".

Zhao Wanhua sniffed and looked at Xie Jianjia resentfully, "After all this time, you still have the heart to tell jokes!"

Xie Jianjia looked at her with a smile.

"Are you crying if you don't laugh? If I look like I'm crying when everyone comes to see me, wouldn't it make everyone feel bad? Besides, the doctor said that if I want to recover as soon as possible, my mentality must be correct. I'm crying now, so if you see me when the accident happened, why don't you just cry?"

Zhao Wanhua: "What do you mean?"

Xie Jianjia: "Actually, it's nothing. I just rolled down the mountain and was paralyzed for more than 20 days. I'm a bit unaccustomed to it."

Zhao Wanhua gently grasped her slender fingers, "Why do you say so calmly?"

Xie Jianjia held her hand instead, "Because I have recovered. Now I am waiting for my legs and feet to recover and dance with you!"

Zhou Chunyan, who was sitting on the other side of the hospital bed, heard Xie Jianjia's words. She clenched her hands into fists and didn't notice her nails digging into her flesh. Her face was full of bitterness. She hadn't told her daughter yet that the doctor said she would never be able to dance again in her life. Already.

Xie Jianjia: "Oh, by the way, I was so dizzy in the first few days after the accident. I originally wanted to call you and ask you to help me see if there are any reliable hospitals here in Linhai City, but someone helped me, so I didn't." Sorry to bother you again." As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Fan appeared at the door of the ward carrying a bag of apples and a box of mints.

When Chu Fan saw two unfamiliar faces standing in the ward, he thought he had entered the wrong room. It was not until he saw Zhou Chunyan that he walked in firmly.

Zhao Wanhua and the man heard the movement at the door and looked towards the door at the same time.

"Chu Fan?"

"Fang Shu (shu's fourth tone) Yang?"

"Do you know each other?" Zhao Wanhua looked between the two of them with doubtful eyes.

Fang Shuyang introduced to Zhao Wanhua.

"The grandson of the Yang family, the son of Yang Xi."

After hearing his introduction, Zhao Wanhua suddenly realized, and her eyes looking at Chu Fan became dark and unclear.

Chu Fan pretended not to see the look between the two of them, walked to the edge of the hospital bed, and called Zhou Chunyan first: "Hello, Aunt Yanzi."

After shouting, he put the apples and mints in his hands on the bedside table.

"Sister, I specially picked some pink apples and the mints I promised to buy you yesterday."

Xie Jianjia was lying on the bed. She only heard the man and Chu Fan shouting names to each other, but did not see the turmoil between them. She smiled and said to Chu Fan: "Thank you."

Chu Fan stretched out his hand to tuck Xie Jianjia into bed, but was stopped by Zhao Wanhua's hand.

"I come."

Chu Fan retracted his hand. There was no place for him to sit down. He bent his knees and squatted beside the hospital bed, looking straight at the person on the bed.

"Sister, I said hello to the owner of the first fruit shop on the left after exiting the hospital gate. After you finish eating the apples, you can ask someone to buy them. Just tell me your name. Make sure they are pink apples. If you want mint candies, I will arrange them. If you send me a box every two weeks, you can’t eat too much of this stuff, it will become addictive.”

The more Xie Jianjia listened, the more something was wrong. Why did she have an inexplicable sense of deja vu?

"What about you? Are you busy with something?"

Chu Fan pursed his lips and said, "I want to go back abroad to continue my studies. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back within three years."

Xie Jianjia was stunned, "Huh?"

When Zhao Wanhua and Fang Shuyang heard the news, they exchanged glances in the air, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

A slight smile appeared on Chu Fan's face, but this smile was extremely forced.

"So sister, you have to take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Xie Jianjia was confused after hearing this. He had only been back for a month, so why did he leave again? And he is just finishing his studies and not settling down there. The Yang family is not short of money for air tickets, right? Why didn't you come back in three years?

She wanted to ask something else, but Chu Fan stretched out his hand little by little, and under Zhao Wanhua's burning eyes, he reached Xie Jianjia's palm, then stuffed something into her palm, and then stood up.

"Sister, I have a flight in the afternoon and now I have to rush to the airport. Please wish me a safe journey."

Xie Jianjia could move her hands, but she couldn't lift her arms. She probably touched the things in her hands.

Small, rectangular in shape, and a little hard, like a peace charm?

Two men came to the door, they were imposing and looked at Chu Fan, as if they were waiting for him to go out.

Chu Fan saw the two men and lowered his head to meet Xie Jianjia's eyes, which seemed to be pleading.

"elder sister……"

Xie Jianjia came back to her senses, looked at him and said solemnly: "I wish you a pleasant journey and a safe journey!"

Chu Fan smiled, this time the smile went straight to his eyes.

"Okay, safe."
