Chapter 49 Ding
Chapter 49 Ding
The next morning, before Jin Heng returned home, Qin Gentian, who had returned to the human world all the way from the Chongjie, returned home alone.
As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he first wiped the shoes that he had worn out all night and put them in the innermost part of the cabinet. Then he went into the bathroom and washed his hands back and forth with cleaning fluid to wipe them clean. Then he went upstairs to change the clothes he wore when he went out yesterday.
Check the notes posted on the refrigerator before, and call the dry cleaners, property management company, and housekeeping company in order to ask them to find time to deliver the laundry, property fee list, and cleaning fees to the home as soon as possible.
After finishing all the above, Qin Gentian, who looked like he had just woken up, slowly opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and walked to the balcony to water the flowers. He returned to the living room to make a pot of tea, and found the manuscript under the coffee table. After flipping through the collection of poems casually, it was finally Jin Heng who hadn't returned all night and another... Qin Gentian hadn't thought of a guest before.
"Jin Heng, are you changing shoes here?"
"Well, come in."
The two people who came in from the door seemed to be talking vaguely. When Qin Geng raised his head and looked out the door, he saw two young men of about the same age entering the living room one after the other.
The one in front is of course Jin Heng, and the one in the back is not unfamiliar to him, and he noticed Qin Gentian's gaze looking towards them. There were still some burn marks on his face, but the young man who was basically healed was also taken aback for a moment, and then He used his handsome face that appeared every day at the golden ten o'clock stall, rubbed his head in embarrassment and laughed.
"Hey, hello, hello, we meet again, I'm Li Tianshuai, just Jin Heng's junior high school classmate... I'm sorry to disturb you at home... Last night we and Lao Liao got together together, and then we all I drank a little too much, so I didn't come back..."
Li Tianshuai's sudden arrival was obviously a little unexpected to Qin Geng, at least Jin Heng didn't tell him that he would bring friends back this morning.
As for this, Jin Heng himself didn't say much, he just motioned for Li Tianshuai, who had helped him to explain for a long time, to sit down in the living room, and then went into the kitchen with Qin Gentiana who had stood up, carrying the breakfast he had specially brought back.
"You were with your classmates and Lao Liao last night?"
"Hmm, what's up?"
Jin Heng's calm expression didn't look like he was lying at all, Qin Geng squinted his eyes and didn't say anything for a while, and after a while, he lowered his eyes calmly and glanced at Jin Heng's right leg.
It's just that from the outside, his right leg didn't have any abnormality or inconvenience in any sense, and something that was almost certain in his heart was suppressed a little because of what happened in front of him again, and Qin Gentiana didn't show it afterwards. There was no look of doubt or disbelief, but he nodded with a normal attitude, and then put down the cup in his hand and asked him a question.
"Would you like to take a shower upstairs?"
"Well, where did the dog go?"
The little white dog that was always running around at home is gone, of course Jin Heng can still find it, not to mention that Jin Heng had doubted the real identity of the dog for a long time before, and when he heard him ask this question, he Qin Gentiana standing beside him just looked at the empty kennel in the corner and smiled again,
"Send it to the doctor's house that I told you about last time to be fostered for a few days, and you'll see him in two days... Did you buy some breakfast?"
"kindness."
"Then I'll help you get your clothes. You go up and take a shower first. I'll heat up your breakfast."
"Do you have time this afternoon?"
"what happened?"
"Come out with me later."
Since what happened that night, it was the first time that the atmosphere between the two of them was as harmonious as it is today.
Jin Heng's apparently improved attitude towards him made Qin Gentian a little puzzled for a while what he was thinking, but after thinking about it for a while, he still replied yes, and asked him symbolically where you want to go this afternoon.
And when he heard what he asked himself, Jin Heng didn't answer him in a hurry. Before he saw Gentiana Qin, he seemed to be reading a book alone in the living room for a while. Page's handwritten poetry collection took a second look, and then he lowered his head to change the subject and asked Qin Geng a word.
"Do you understand?"
"? It's okay, didn't you make notes beside it? And I see that you seemed to be sorting out these things in the study all day before... Yuefu Poetry Collection refers to the songs sung by the ancients, right?"
"Well, where did you just see?"
"I just read the beginning and you came back, Moshang-sang? It seems to be called this name?"
At this point in the conversation, Jin Heng nodded and didn't say anything else. He went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes. Qin Gentian, who watched him go up alone thoughtfully, warmed up the breakfast downstairs and then went to the living room. I chatted with Li Tianshuai, but the back and forth topics of course mainly revolved around what Jin Heng did last night.
But obviously Li Tianshuai didn't seem to be the kind of person who was particularly thoughtful, but after that, he didn't follow Qin Gentian's question to mention too many details of last night. He talked about all kinds of things when he was a child.
And Qin Gentian, who was still looking at other places thoughtfully, raised his head unconsciously when he heard the words, and after a while, he looked at Li Tianshuai with interest and laughed again.
"Oh? What about these things?"
"Yeah, he has been like this since he was a child. He just transferred to our junior high school and rode his sister's bicycle to school every day. His grades are very good. The teachers like this kind of good student very much. It’s just that he doesn’t like to talk very much at ordinary times. When the head teacher asked him to go up to introduce himself, he just stood there with a straight face, and it took a long time before he said, “My name is Jin Heng…”
"Huh? Then what happened next?"
"A lot of people laughed at his hair and eyes, saying that he looks like a rabbit. I played well with him because of this. I was very fat at that time, so many people called me a fat pig... I am more cowardly. , I didn’t dare to answer what others said about me, so I thought that Jin Heng was afraid of those people who would ignore me... But then I was deliberately teased by a few people in the next class and cut off my hair , made me want to drop out of school altogether, and when Jin Heng found out about it, he rode a bicycle and blocked these bastards at the back gate of the school, and helped me give them a lesson one by one... And actually It's not just me, it's the same thing after he went to high school, no matter what others say about him, he doesn't like to talk to him, but if someone bullies others in front of him, he must not look down..."
"Really? I thought he didn't like meddling in other people's business."
"No, no, he is actually easier to blow up than anyone else, and he was specifically warned by his grandfather because of this incident, that he is not allowed to make trouble in school, otherwise he will be sent abroad... He doesn't want to go abroad, He wanted to stay in China to study medicine and take care of his sister, so every time he went home after a fight, his grandfather would punish him to kneel for a long time, but thanks to this incident, no one dared to call him a rabbit or a little old man anymore, so some At that time, he was really not such a cold person on the surface, he still cared about his friends, family and people who had special meaning to him..."
Li Tianshuai lowered his voice and deliberately emphasized the last few words when he said this, but after he finished speaking, he silently observed the expression on Qin Gentiana's face and found that there was nothing wrong with it. At first, he thought that he would at least have a special reaction Li Tianshuai suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart.
Jin Heng, who was waiting upstairs, changed his clothes and came downstairs. Li Tianshuai, who remembered the important task that the young master gave him before he came here today, quickly closed his mouth as if nothing happened.
Later, because of Qin Gentiana's initiative to persuade them to stay, Li Tianshuai, who made a phone call with his assistant Yingjun and informed them of the afternoon's schedule, also deliberately stayed to have lunch with them.
During this period, Li Tianshuai's main task was to be in charge of praising Jinheng to Qin Gentiana vigorously, how exaggerated his tone was, and how forcefully he used his words. After the praise, Jinheng finally frowned and coughed unbearably. The face stopped blankly.
"Be quiet and eat well."
"Oh... But I still have a lot of prepared lines, oh, no, I still have a lot of praises for you that I haven't said..."
"No more...thank you."
"Ah? Needless to say? But I... Oh, forget it, I will continue to talk next time when I come here... But Qin Gentiana is very happy to hear it..."
Because of the two whispering people in front of them, the atmosphere at the table was awkward for a moment, and Qin Gentiana couldn't help laughing.
But in the end, he didn't take the initiative to expose anything. Instead, he finished the lunch in a good mood. Although his appetite still seemed to be poor because of the special presence on his tongue, Jin Heng obviously took care of him. In this regard, Li Tianshuai would not let Li Tianshuai talk to him more if he only occasionally ordered some delicious dishes.
It wasn't until after twelve o'clock that Jin Dashao said that he and Qin Geng had something to do in the afternoon, and signaled that he could go, and Li Tianshuai, who was still playing the game console in the living room of their home, had a straight face. Reluctantly, she stood up and said hello to Gentiana Qin, and hurriedly left their house.
Li Tianshuai's people left, and the house suddenly became quiet again. Jin Heng, who had just sorted out things in the upstairs study for a long time, sorted out some books from his own bookshelf after a while, and put them in two books. The box went down.
And noticed that the old books he was going to take out seemed to be the things he had copied and sorted out in the study all day in the past few months. Qin Gentian, who had never understood what Jin Heng usually did at home when he didn’t go out, went up to now. After the old Dong's car, he heard Jin Heng who was beside him speak slowly to the old Dong who was in front.
"Go to the medical university."
Medical University is Jin Heng's former alma mater, but it's a pity that he didn't complete his studies there and left early. For so long, Jin Heng has never heard him mention why he gave up and wanted to be a doctor all the time. Doctor's real reason.
So when he heard with his own ears that Jin Heng was going to take him to his former alma mater, Qin Gentian's expression paused for a moment, and after a while he slowly raised his head and listened to the Jin Heng explained to him patiently in a rare tone,
"There is a former teacher who is still teaching there now. He asked me to help him get some things, and I will send them to him now."
"Well, let's go then."
Of course, this is the first time I heard Jin Heng talk about this matter. I always feel that he seems to want to tell himself something on purpose today. He and Jin Heng went to the back gate of the South Campus of the Medical University.
When the students were still in class, they entered the school together with Jin Heng. It was also the first time Qin Geng came here, followed the young man with a cane around a whole row of holly trees, and found the underside of the teaching building. big classroom.
Then Jin Heng, who raised his hand to indicate that he should not make a sound, suddenly took Qin Gentian's hand in a serious manner, and dragged him expressionlessly into the classroom through the back door, and behind someone sitting The platoon quickly found a seat and sat down.
Gentiana:"……"
Except for the old professor who saw them at a glance from the podium and gave Jin Heng a quick look, the other students who were still in class obviously didn't notice them.
And calmly accepted the eyes of reproach from the mentor on the podium, and simply avoided the sight of Qin Gentian looking at him, and did not intend to let go of him immediately. After a while, he controlled his volume and held it in his heart. The person said softly,
"Wait for 5 minutes, get out of class will be over soon."
"……kindness."
The atmosphere was inexplicably strange, neither of the two people planned to speak for a while, until the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the two people let go of each other's hands and separated again.
After watching Jin Heng stand up from his side and go to the podium to say hello to the old professor, after about four or five minutes, he looked at the old professor in the direction of Qin Gentiana from a distance, and then motioned for the two of them to go to the school library together with him. Take a trip to the museum.
And on the way of the three of them pushing the old bicycle, the gray-haired, slow-talking old professor kept talking to Jin Heng with some emotion.
"Now you are the only one who comes back to help me sort out these things. All those precious books were burned, and they are all treasures left by our ancestors. Just thinking about it makes me feel sorry for your teacher's mother." I can't sleep well, is your leg feeling better recently? Is there still an inspection to be done? Can't delay later..."
"kindness."
"But your complexion is indeed much better than before. Has something good happened recently? You look so energetic, don't you..."
The old professor looked very old, but he clearly cared about this former student between the lines, and after a few words with him, he looked up at Gentiana Qin who was following Jin Heng, which seemed very kind After thinking for a while, the old man smiled and explained for Jin Heng.
"Our school caught fire last year, so it burned out the old books stored in the library for almost a century. My wife worked in the library all her life. After she passed away, there were not many young people in the school who were willing to come over to renovate and copy these books. The old one is going to go into the coffin with me. Before leaving school, Jin Heng attended my wife's few classes, and after he heard about the fire, he agreed to the job. So since the beginning of this year, he has been He is helping me organize these things intermittently, his handwriting looks neat, and his memory is better than mine, so it will be done faster, and I trouble you to come here with him to help me today."
Hearing what the old professor said, he understood what it was that Jin Heng stayed at home for so long and didn't go out to do much work. Qin Gentiana shook his head to indicate that it was okay, then looked at Jin Heng.
Feeling the sight of Gentiana Qin falling on him, Jin Heng walked forward slowly with a cane, and Jin Heng didn't say anything in a hurry, and then the two of them went with the old professor to his old dormitory on the first floor of the library. After helping to send all the old books copied and restored by Jin Heng to the bookshelf in the attic, they sat down and rested together on the empty small steps at the door of the dormitory.
"Is the picture hanging in the main room just now a picture of Teacher Lu and your teacher's wife when they got married? One of them is called Lu Jintang and the other Su Qiuyue?"
"Hmm, what's up?"
"It's nothing, I just think the name sounds pretty good. The two of them really have been teaching here for a lifetime and never left?"
"Well, the two trees at the door were also there when they got married."
"Then what are the names of these two trees?"
"Ginkgo, Osmanthus."
"It sounds like a good match."
Accompanied by the low laugh of Gentiana chinensis, the ginkgo and osmanthus trees that have not yet bloomed and fruited because spring has just arrived also made a faint sound of being blown away by the wind. I don't know which season's remaining sweetness it was, but for some reason, he lowered his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth. After a while, Qin Gentian narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man sitting beside him, and then looked aside and suppressed his voice. joked,
"What name do you think the name Jin Heng would match well with?"
"What do you think."
People who never knew how to talk like this actually started to deliberately tease people's appetites. Qin Geng stared at Jin Heng's pale eyes, just smiled and didn't speak.
It wasn't until he felt that Jin Heng gently held his icy cold hand again and hugged him little by little from in front of him. Qin Gentiana, who was sitting together under the ginkgo and Osmanthus osmanthus trees, heard the always taciturn young man bow his head and use his hands. The tone that had obviously been thinking for a long time whispered in his ear with extra nervousness,
"...Just like you, I also have many things that I didn't have time to let you know. In the past days, you let me see your almost perfect side, but what I showed you was my very personal side. The bad side."
"Actually, I don't think it was an irresponsible deceit for you to try hard to let me see you in a better way. Your past that you don't really want to explain to me until now is not disgraceful in my eyes. In the past, I would not be easily angry with you because you told me that you were not so perfect that night, and now I can tell you very clearly."
"In the days to come, I will learn to understand you better. At least I need to know when you are happy and when you are not happy. There is no one in this world who is more worthy of Jinheng than Gentiana Qin. You are his Moshang Sang , is also his ①Qin Luofu, to have the opportunity to meet you in this barren life is the luck that he never wants to let go in this life."
The author has something to say: ① In "Moshang Mulberry", Qin Luofu, a beautiful mulberry picker, the woodcutter and fisherman would not want to leave when he saw her. His uncle happened to see his aunt reading Moshang mulberry , so in the end I will use the story of Mo Shangsang and Luo Fu to describe my aunt~
②The vest is still covered for the time being, but the suspicion of both parties still exists. This chapter explains why my uncle squatted at home to copy books every day in so many chapters in the previous chapters. His feelings for his aunt, Lu Jintang and Su Qiuyue, Ginkgo and Osmanthus, Jin Heng and Qin Gentiana are all very good matches~
