Chapter 48 I'm always by your side (15)
Jade pot spring bottle
Yuanyuan thought, Uncle Shenghua has a lot of things to do every day, and most of them go to the hospital at night, so during Cheng Bai's hospitalization, he was probably too bored, so he called her frequently and asked her to bring him food, saying it was prepared by the nurse. Not to his liking.Yuanyuan didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he thought that he owed so much to Uncle Shenghua, he decided to repay the debt.

So in the past few days, most of Yuanyuan's lunch break and after-get off work time have been dedicated to Cheng Bai.

On Wednesday evening, Fu Beichen came to visit Cheng Bai at the Affiliated Hospital of University H after get off work was instructed by Professor Fu.Professor Fu learned about Cheng Bai's injury from Director Zheng yesterday.Professor Fu felt that although their Fu family had little contact with the Cheng family, they still had a deep connection. Furthermore, during his hospitalization, Cheng Bai also visited him from time to time.This time Cheng Bai was injured on duty, so they should visit his family out of reason.Professor Fu asked his son to go for a walk because of his inconvenient legs.Fu Beichen also felt that it should be so.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Fu Beichen arrived at the hospital. He took a basket of fruit and a bouquet of carnations, and went to the VIP ward. He asked the nurse Cheng Bai's ward number, but was told that Dr. Cheng's sister pushed Dr. Cheng downstairs for a walk. up.

"Sister?" Fu Beichen thought, if he waited, he didn't know how long he would have to wait, so he said, "I'll take these fruits and flowers to his ward. He's back, please tell him, I'll come visit again next time." He. My surname is Fu."

When Fu Beichen put down his things and walked downstairs, he saw Cheng Bai sitting in a wheelchair in the gazebo not far away, and standing behind him was Cheng Yuanyuan.

"Sister?" The corner of his mouth slightly raised, and he walked towards them.

Yuanyuan found Fu Beichen walking over, and was very surprised. When he approached, he asked, "Why did you come to the hospital?"

"I'm here to visit Cheng Bai." Then Fu Beichen greeted Cheng Bai a few words.

Cheng Bai thanked everyone who came to see him.

When Fu Beichen left, he asked Yuanyuan if he was going back too, because it was getting late.Yuanyuan really wanted to go home—she was so exhausted running between work and the hospital these days, so she said to Cheng Bai, "Let me call the nurse for you." Taking patients out for a walk is also the job of the nurse duty.

"No, I can call myself." Cheng Bai said expressionlessly.

Yuanyuan thought for a while, and felt that the problem was not serious, so she said, "Okay, then I'm leaving."

Fu Beichen nodded to Cheng Bai, and Tong Yuanyuan left the pavilion.

Not long after, Wang Yang, who was taking a walk after dinner, walked up to Cheng Bai with a tractor around his neck, and saw Cheng Bai looking at a certain place.He followed his line of sight curiously. Two or thirty meters away, a man and a woman were standing beside the car and talking.

Wang Yang looked back at Cheng Bai again, and said with a smile, "That is your legendary sister?" Wang Yang visited Cheng Bai's ward twice, but never met Yuan Yuan.Although the medical staff told him about Cheng Bai's younger sister, they never mentioned her name.

Cheng Bai withdrew his gaze, and said in a bad tone, "She has no blood or legal relationship with me."

"Huh?" Wang Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then he got a clue, "Could she be Cheng Yuanyuan?" Seeing that Cheng Bai didn't deny it, Wang Yang looked at the man and woman 20 meters away in surprise again, and said to Cheng Bai after a long while, "Honestly Said, I always think you are a person who has both ability and political integrity, and is responsible for everything, but you seem to be completing tasks and don’t get distracted. You are even more 'insensitive' to matters between men and women. In fact, you have taken a fancy to someone who has a master. ? Therefore, you can’t say you like it? And then suppressed for many years, leading to emotional closure?”

Cheng Bai glanced at Wang Yang, Wang Yang surrendered, "Well, pretend I didn't say anything."

Cheng Bai felt a dull pain from the wound on his head, so he took out his mobile phone and called the nurse over.

When Cheng Bai was pushed into the inpatient building by the nurses, he looked at the place where Cheng Yuanyuan and Fu Beichen were standing before, and there was no one there at the moment.He glanced at the empty road, and a leaf swayed and fell to where she had been standing before.

In the past, she was kind to him, but he was indifferent, he was not moved or pleased.And he took care of her out of responsibility, obligation, even, it can be said to be instinct, but he never invested in it emotionally.She was estranged from him, and he was just a little bit lost, but he couldn't tell what it was that was lost.

He had never been emotionally attracted to her before.

Cheng Bai thought of Fu Beichen, this man who was his elder, he had met twice when he was a child, and his father was full of praise for Fu Beichen's excellence.Now that he sees him frequently, he just feels that this Fu Beichen is beyond his grasp.

"I rubbed against your car again." Yuanyuan didn't feel embarrassed now, she thought, could it be a habit?
"Have you eaten yet?" Fu Beichen turned down the blades of the air conditioner in front of her seat, so as not to blow her head into the cold.

"Well, I ate in the hospital cafeteria. What about you?"

"not yet."

Yuan Yuan looked at him, and blurted out, "Would you like to sit at my house for a while? I'll cook something for you?"

Fu Beichen glanced at her sideways, with a clear smile in his eyes, he looked back forward, "Okay, then excuse me."

This was the first time a man entered Yuanyuan's residence, and this man was Fu Beichen... The embarrassment returned.

"The house is a little messy."

Fu Beichen smiled, "It's better than Professor Fu's room full of books, isn't it?"

"Hey, it's better than that." Yuanyuan pushed open the door and turned sideways to let Fu Beichen in first.Fu Beichen stepped in.The house is not big, but it is very warmly furnished.The curtains are all drawn, and a bunch of eustoma is inserted in a small vase on the dining table, and the lavender petals are trembling slightly by the wind.

Fu Beichen looked back at Yuanyuan, "The flowers are very beautiful."

"Someone chased after a colleague in my unit, but the colleague was allergic to pollen, so she gave it to me."

Fu Beichen smiled, "Yes."

Unaware of him, Yuanyuan asked, "What do you want to eat? Do you like dumplings? Shall I roll out dumpling skins and make dumplings for you?"

"Can you still roll dumpling wrappers?"

Yuanyuan nodded, "Yeah!"

"awesome."

Yuan Yuan seemed a little proud when he heard the tone of Master Fu?It seems that my own children are very powerful.Yuanyuan shook her head, she thought, why do she always have some messy thoughts when facing Fu Beichen?

"You sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while, and I'll make dumplings. Ah, what do you want to drink? There's no tea at home..."

"It's okay, just boiled water. I'll pour it myself." Fu Beichen followed Yuanyuan into the kitchen.

Yuanyuan pointed to him the teacup and thermos, and went to work on her dumpling project, "It will take a while to eat. Fu Beichen, if you are hungry, you can eat some fruit from the refrigerator first."

"I'm not hungry yet, take your time."

Yuanyuan didn't look back, and said "um", so she didn't see Fu Beichen standing not far behind her holding a glass of water, and he looked at her almost intently.

During this period of time, Yuanyuan became acquainted with the nurses at the nurse station on the eighth floor. One day, a nurse asked Yuanyuan, "What does Dr. Cheng like to do in private?"

Yuan Yuan replied: "What to do? Read a book, go for a run, or play some games."

"Doctor Cheng plays games?"

"He played in high school, but it's not clear now."

"What type of girl does Doctor Cheng like?"

Yuanyuan thought about this question for a long time, and finally she pointed to herself and said, "Look at me."

"just like you?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head and said, "It's the opposite of me, it's almost the same."

Who can never forget who is who, who is dispensable who is who, who is unforgettable and who is who is a pity.Emotions in this world can never be equal. When they are equal, they are probably when there is no emotion, which is what people often call strangers.

They haven't reached Stranger Road yet, but they don't know where they have gone.Yuan Yuan thought, at least, she no longer misses him.

In the end, he was right.He just doesn't like himself.

And even if she broke her head for him, that's what she wanted to do.Anyway, she had one thought at that time: to be nice to him.But now, she has already worn away her liking for him, and the rest is probably just a friendship that grew up together since childhood.But she never regretted being kind to him before.

Just like she never regretted that when she was a child, at the end of summer, she often secretly climbed to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree behind her yard to pick sweet-scented osmanthus.She is a little afraid of heights, so she is terrified every time she climbs, and she has fallen from a tree and hurt herself—in order to let her mother make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, because grandma loves to eat them.Even grandma never liked her until she died.

She has never regretted anything she has done, because she knows that she has never been ashamed of anyone.No shame, no regrets.

On Friday afternoon, Yuanyuan received a call from Fu Beichen, saying that Jun Ciping's necklace was ready.She was overjoyed, and Yuan Yuan decided to invite him to dinner in order to see the finished product as soon as possible and to thank Master Fu.She felt that she was almost becoming "dinner friends" with Fu Beichen.

Fu Beichen did not refuse, but he said that the unit will have a meeting later, and it may be held after get off work.Yuanyuan's whole heart was tied on the necklace, so she said nonchalantly: Then she'll go to his unit and wait for him.

Fu Beichen smiled unconsciously, seeing Lu Xiaoning in front of him sighing in his heart: Her boss, who is like a century-old wine, is usually charming enough with her conscientious, self-denying, tolerant and generous appearance. There is no resistance.

Jinghai Ceramic Research Institute is located in the southernmost part of the Xizhao Lake Scenic Area in the west of the city, just diagonal to the compound where Fu Beichen used to live.The Ceramics Research Institute is hidden behind the Provincial Ceramics Museum, and most people would not pay much attention to this old-fashioned building without doing their homework beforehand.

The building has three floors in an I-shaped structure.Red tiles and blue bricks, the outer walls are covered with creepers.Yuanyuan thought, staying in this kind of house would be cool in summer even without the air conditioner turned on.

After Yuanyuan registered at the security office at the gate, the security guard told her: "Mr. Fu greeted me earlier. He said that his meeting should not be over when you came. He asked you to go to his office first. .You enter the building, turn right and go upstairs, 216 is Mr. Fu's office."

Yuanyuan smiled and thanked authentically.

The building is very quiet, and every step Yuanyuan takes will bring out some echoes. Fu Beichen's nameplate hung on the door of Office 216.The office door was unlocked, and Yuan Yuan walked in as soon as he pushed it.

The office is small, with a desk made of logs directly polished across the middle.There is a laptop on the table, a file is spread out next to it, and a stack of books is neatly stacked next to the table.On one side of the wall are sofas and coffee tables.On the other side is a large row of cabinets with glass doors, which contain books, magazines, trophies and medals of different shapes, and all kinds of porcelain.

Yuan Yuan walked over curiously, but because the owner was not there, she didn't open the door, but just stood aside and looked at each row.Behind the innermost cabinet door, she saw a strange piece of china.

From the outside, it looks like a jade pot spring bottle, but it is made a little crooked.There is a mouth on the right side, I can't tell what kind of animal head it is...

Yuanyuan wondered, it wouldn't be bad to make Fu Beichen fancy and keep it in the cabinet.But this thing doesn't even seem to be a defective product, why is it put here?

Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but opened the cabinet door and took out this strange piece of porcelain.Looking up and down, suddenly, Yuanyuan stopped his hands and fixed his eyes on the bottom of the bottle.

There are two hand-engraved circles on the bottom of the bottle - this pattern is all too familiar to her!Sometimes she is too lazy to write her name, so she will use two circles to represent herself, which is convenient and easy to use.

Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that on the first day of his interview in Jingdezhen, he had indeed pulled a rough bottle in the blank room.The prototype of this bottle comes from a painting in her collection——

When she was in the fifth grade of elementary school, one day she was playing under the red bean tree and met a lost elder brother asking for directions.She saw that he was wearing a mask, and his voice through the mask was hoarse, and coughed a few times from time to time, so she volunteered to lead him the way.They parted at the head of the Taiping Bridge, and she always remembered the back of her elder brother: he was carrying an easel, carrying a painting bag, he was tall and thin, as tall and straight as a bamboo.And at that time, the sun was just right, shining on him, making him a little illusory.

She looked at it for a while, but when she turned around, she stepped on a painting.The painting depicts a bottle: a bottle body with a thin neck, a hanging belly, and a circle foot. There is a spout in the shape of a phoenix head on the bottle body.Very nice.She knew that her eldest brother must have dropped it.But, looking back, he was already gone.So, she took the painting, hoping that one day, she could meet him again.

That time in Jingdezhen, she wanted to try to make porcelain with her own hands, so she asked the master for some basic drawing skills. As a result, she unconsciously drew the shape of the bottle in the painting.At that time, she also consulted the casting master, and the master couldn't explain it clearly, but thought it should be something close to a clean bottle.But her billet is really not very good, so I think the master will not burn it out.

Unexpectedly, nearly two months later, I actually saw it in Fu Beichen's office.This small thing, which is not even considered a defective product, was not thrown away, but was fired, and even entered the Porcelain Research Institute!This is how much porcelain virtue I have cultivated in my previous life, Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing as she thought about it.

"Is this thing funny?" Fu Beichen happened to push the door open, and when he saw Yuanyuan holding the porcelain bottle, his heart trembled inexplicably.

"You're back." Yuanyuan hurriedly put the porcelain bottle back, and closed the cabinet door, "I'm sorry, I moved the things in your cabinet without authorization."

"It's okay." Fu Beichen smiled, but didn't intend to let her go around, "Do you like that bottle?"

Seeing that Yuanyuan couldn't make it through, she had to muster up the courage to say, "Thank you for being so respectful of my bottle and putting it in the office for research."

"You said, you did this?"

"Yes!" Yuanyuan explained, "If you don't believe me, look, there are two circles carved by me at the bottom of the bottle."

Fu Beichen didn't go over to check it right away, but just looked at her and said, "This bottle looks very special."

Yuanyuan sighed, and said, "I know, you mean to say that it's ugly to a certain extent, right? But that's because I'm not good at technology, and it's really beautiful."

"The real look?" Fu Beichen smiled, "Isn't this the real look?"

"Of course not." Yuanyuan pursed her lips, feeling that it would be too troublesome to start from the beginning, so she just said, "I have a painting at home, and there is a very beautiful bottle on it. I just copied that bottle at the time." of."

"Oh..." Fu Beichen was thoughtful, but in the end he didn't ask any further.He went to the desk drawer and took the finished pendant to her.

Yuanyuan Road thanked her for taking it, and opened the wooden box expectantly. She found that the originally delicious Jun kiln porcelain was polished into the shape of a ball of flames. It was exquisitely crafted. Such a pendant shape is very rare. With the unique radiant glaze color on the porcelain piece, the whole pendant is like a phoenix flapping its colorful wings, trying to fly out of flames!
"It's so beautiful!" Yuanyuan sighed sincerely.

"Let me put it on for you." Fu Beichen said.

"Eh?" Yuanyuan was about to say no, but Fu Beichen had already taken the pendant and walked behind her.

Fu Beichen gently brushed her loose hair to one side, Yuanyuan thought, she must be blushing.

Fu Beichen untied the metal buckle behind the red lanyard, and two white and slender hands circled from in front of her to the back.Yuanyuan felt his fingers touch the scar on the back of her neck, and then touched it lightly, and then she heard him say, "Okay."

Yuanyuan lowered her head, resisting the desire to fan the wind with her hands, and said, "Thank you."

"Yuanyuan, when you saw me at Cheng's house that year, you should have come down to say hello to me."

"Huh?" Yuan Yuan looked up.What does that mean?

Fu Beichen smiled, but didn't say any more.

When Fu Beichen took Yuanyuan to the parking lot, he met several colleagues, all of whom showed surprised expressions.Although Fu Beichen is not a well-rounded person, he has a wide range of friends, so guests come to sit in his office from time to time, but there has never been a young girl.

Fu Beichen turned a blind eye to these meaningful eyes, said "see you tomorrow" to his colleagues, and left with Yuanyuan.

Shen Meimei went to the Affiliated Hospital of H University to see Cheng Bai after dinner that day. After the condolences, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Cheng Bai, I want to ask Cheng Yuanyuan something, can you give me her phone number?"

Cheng Bai looked up at her, "What's the matter? You can tell me, and I'll help you pass it on."

Shen Yu didn't force it, and saw that he was peeling pears so seriously, with beautiful and crisp gestures, he couldn't help saying: "Your skill with a knife is really good, no wonder you can be a doctor."

Cheng Bai handed the peeled pear to Meimei Shen, and said, "According to your logic, I should be a chef."

Shen Yu took the pear with an unbelievable expression on his face, "You actually peeled the fruit for me."

Cheng Bai took out a tissue to wipe the fruit knife, "I just want to use the knife."

That night, after Fu Beichen sent Yuanyuan back, he returned to the apartment. He didn't eat some food, but fell asleep quickly, but the dream came very quickly.

Under the lamp, the two sat opposite each other, and there was a game of chess in the middle.

"Fourth brother, why don't you speak?" He sat upright, stretched out his hand and dropped his hand.

"I don't agree." The man on the opposite side was seven or eight points similar to him.

"The princess has never met me! Why do I have to marry her because of a marriage decree?" He was angry and gave birth to another son.

The man on the opposite side glanced at him, and went down, winning or losing, "I've never won against you. Today, you suffered a crushing defeat. Don't you forget that if you are not careful, you will lose everything."

"What about Wanyu?" He was depressed, "She told me happily that day that she wanted to burn the dowry herself..."

"Father always said that in our generation, you are the one who is most like the father. You know the weight of this sentence." The man paused and looked at him sharply, "If you insist on destroying this family, she will definitely not need those dowries in her life."

He bowed his head silently.

"It's not that you're not allowed to marry, it's just a later date. Could it be that you can't wait?"

A yell, like a thunderbolt on the ground, was like a blow to the head, which made Fu Beichen wake up suddenly from his dream, feeling cold and sweaty all over his body.
