"What happened"

He seemed to have just woken up, and his nerves tensed again.

Probably the staff here.I was a little sorry for disturbing his rest, but I still waved to him, and reported the man's name in unfamiliar English, expressing my purpose of coming, and expressing my apology.

The gentleman smiled very temperately, apologized to me again, said that he had no time to entertain me, and then led me directly to Ji Sheng's room.

The door is not closed, and the simplicity is unobstructed.

A random wooden bed is only 1.1 meters by visual inspection. The bed is simple and white, but it doesn't look soft. Beside the bed was a small maroon wooden table with several books lined up and a stainless steel mug on it.There is a lonely white suitcase beside the table.Fortunately, there is still a window in the simple room, just above the small wooden table, there is a window sill outside, and there is a can of Nescafé coffee powder on the window sill.

The pale yellow sun was sleeping on the window sill, looking at it with a bit of warmth.

Light and shadow freeze here, just like the time when you fell asleep in old photos.

I have been waiting here, my courage dissipated and gathered in the silent air with time.

As night fell, she still hadn't returned with a sound of Ji. I thought she might have changed shifts with someone else, and she might not be back until tomorrow.

So I didn't have an appetite for dinner, so I made a cup of coffee and waited quietly amidst the bitterness.

I used to always think that "feeling timid near the hometown" is a very gentle word, with a bit of sadness and sweetness full of nostalgia.

Just like when I returned to China by myself, although I was a little dazed and anxious, I missed it urgently.But when I saw the faces of my parents again and heard their plain conversations, those strange and unknown melancholy will gradually melt away like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

That is the sense of peace and belonging that always comes home.

However, for Ji Yisheng, the term "closeness to hometown" seems to be full of bitterness.

On the morning when I set off to return home, I woke up very early, the sky was still gray, but there was no temperature around me.I picked up my phone and saw that it was less than 05:30.

I got up from the bed, and when I opened the door, I saw Ji sound on the sofa in the living room.

The mellow aroma of coffee penetrated into the nostrils along with the cold air in the living room.And Ji was immersed in the bitter aroma of coffee, letting the morning chill penetrate into her skin.

I couldn't help but feel worried.I went back to the room and took the blanket, walked over and sat next to her, then stretched out my arms and wrapped the child up completely, letting her body lean towards me.She transferred the weight to me tacitly, lying limply on my lap, and the coffee in her hand was naturally transferred to my hand.

I took a sip, frowning bitterly.

"Didn't sleep?"

The black and blue under her eyes showed this fact.And she wasn't going to hide it. "Yeah." Replied me softly, closed his eyes with a bang, rested his head on my abdomen to absorb the warmth, and relaxed slightly.

"How about going back in a few days?"

"No, just today." She didn't intend to back down.

I had no choice but to suppress my distress, held her cold hand, and said, "Then take a nap for a while, you didn't leave so early."

"it is good."

The light blue light in the morning gradually diffused through the window, and immersed in Ji Sheng's gaze, which was as clear as ever.

Not all homes are safe havens, at least not for One Sound.

But it was her home anyway.The love-hate relationship in the past is just hidden under her calm surface.

I don't know exactly what happened in the past, but at least I know one thing. Just because it's over doesn't mean it never happened.She's not that kid who asks for half sugar and half milk for a cup of coffee anymore, my one by one, she's grown up.

The uncle and aunt I haven’t seen for a long time are still kind to me.Ji Qin also greeted Jiqin's warm embrace as soon as he entered the door.

The two sisters ran back to the house to unwrap the presents affectionately, causing their aunt to laugh and scold them.

Uncle is still as talkative as before, he took out peanuts and melon seeds and was ready to start chatting with me.

Everything is just like the family atmosphere I once envied, happy and warm, intimate.

"The room is still available?" I was a little surprised to see my aunt start to shake up the quilt and sheets on the balcony.

"Keep it, I've been waiting for her to come back."

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that my aunt's voice is crying, hoarse and bitter.

"You said that she is a good girl, but she has been away for so many years. She is a good doctor and has studied hard for so long, but she has to go abroad to be a volunteer. It's hard and tiring work, dangerous and has no future. But she doesn't know how to discuss it with her family. Jidan, when you come back with her this time, help your uncle and aunt to persuade her. Ah, okay. "

At this moment, I realized that my aunt had changed.

Among the younger generation of our Ji family, who doesn't know that everyone in the second uncle's family is a child at heart.

Uncle is naughty and loves to play.My aunt was innocent like a child.But when we met this time, I finally realized that they had also grown up.Not only did the childishness fade away with a sound of auspiciousness, but the uncles and aunts finally looked like mature middle-aged people, with wrinkles on the brows and feet, and weathered eyes. The sense of responsibility of being a parent was steadily provoked by them.
