Xia Mo's mother was sent to the hospital and went directly to the operating room. He was waiting outside, anxious and worried. Zhang Jiarui sat on the opposite chair with her head down and sobbed softly, which made him even more annoying. Reaching out to his pocket subconsciously, he wanted to take out his mobile phone to call Ji Ran, but found that the mobile phone had disappeared, maybe it was dropped in the restaurant in the panic just now.

Frustrated, he closed his eyes and leaned against the cold tiles behind him. He felt extremely uncomfortable, but there was no other way. He couldn’t leave while his mother was undergoing an operation. He never recited the phone number in his cell phone. There is no way to contact Ji Ran, so I can only explain to him after the calculation.

******

Ji Ran, who was watching TV and waiting for others, accidentally fell asleep on the sofa. When he woke up, he grabbed the mobile phone on the coffee table and looked at it. He woke up instantly. It was past eleven o'clock in the evening. The candle on the table was still a little burned, the dishes had become cold, Xia Mo still didn't come, and he didn't even make a phone call.

The good mood a few hours ago suddenly went down to the bottom. I called and rang for a long time until the mechanical female voice rang to remind that there was no one answering for the time being, so I had to hang up and call again, but it was still the same.

After dialing the phone five times in a row, Ji Ran gave up, slammed the phone against the wall in front of him, got up and walked to the table, threw the dishes on the table together with the extinguished candles into the trash can, opened the red wine , Drank half of the bottle directly, then stumbled into the room and fell on the bed.

I had a terrible headache. After drinking it, I realized that even though it was red wine, it was not low in alcohol content. From my throat to my stomach, it was like being burned by fire. I turned over with difficulty, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again in a daze. .

In the middle of the night, he woke up again, his stomach hurt like a fire, his whole body almost convulsed, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, he rolled from the bed to the ground in embarrassment, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, he could only barely stand up Relying on crawling, he moved step by step to the living room, managed to pick up the mobile phone that he had dropped on the ground, and replayed it again, but still no one listened, his vision was blurred, even the hand holding the mobile phone was trembling, and he groaned involuntarily. Exit, the biting lip has been bitten, and there is a bitter taste of rust in the mouth.

******

Waking up again was on the hospital bed, one hand was still on the drip, Ji Ran opened his eyes, and found that he was still alive, after a moment of stupor, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, the sky was already bright outside, and he didn't know what it was what time is it.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and it was Xu Cheng who came in, frowning with a sullen face and a very bad expression. Seeing that he woke up and walked up to him, he asked him angrily, "Do you remember what happened last night?"

Ji Ran closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Forgot."

"You called me in the middle of the night and kept panting without saying a word. I thought something was wrong with you. I ran to your house and saw that you collapsed on the ground and passed out in pain. I was so scared that I rushed you to the hospital. The doctor said that you had a stomach problem in the middle of the night, did you drink a lot of alcohol? How many times have I reminded you not to take your body seriously, why don’t you listen? You have to go to the gate of hell again to be happy Yes or no?!"

He hasn't eaten since noon yesterday, and he drank half a bottle of spirits on an empty stomach at night. It's strange that he doesn't suffer from stomach problems. With his empty hand and arm across his eyes, he said bitterly, "Isn't he dead... ...Second uncle, don't teach me, I feel bad."

If he still wanted to curse, he couldn't say it after seeing him like this. Xu Cheng sat down by the bed, reached out and rubbed his head, slowed down his voice, and asked him: "What's going on? Yesterday It's not your birthday? Where's Xia Mo?"

"...he didn't go."

"Sure enough, it's because of him again," Xu Cheng said in a cold tone when he heard it, "I said you shouldn't look for him at all. Is it interesting to die and live for him like this? Isn't it enough to learn a lesson once? You hit Nan The wall doesn't want to turn back, does it?"

"Stop it, please..."

Seeing Ji Ran's pitiful look, Xu Cheng was so distressed and hated that iron could not become steel, so he could only forget it for now: "I ordered someone to bring over the porridge and soup. After a while, you can eat a little bit after taking the drip, doctor." He said he would stay in the hospital for two more days, and I asked Say to push back all your announcements for the past few days, and the crew has also asked for leave, so you can rest easy and recuperate during this time."

Ji Ran nodded and said nothing.

Xu Cheng still has work and can't stay here forever. When the maid auntie arrives to deliver meals and change clothes, she tells her to take good care of Ji Ran and then leaves. Ji Ran picks up his phone that has broken the screen, As soon as the lock was unlocked, a call came in, and it was Xia Mo.

Xia Mo stayed with his mother in the hospital until his mother's condition stabilized in the morning before leaving to help her get things. After getting in the car, he finally found his mobile phone under the driver's seat of the car. He picked it up and saw six or seven missed calls. It was all Ji Ran's, so he called quickly, and the other side finally picked up after ringing for a long time.

"Hello..." Ji Ran's voice was weak, and his voice was still hoarse.

Xia Mo thought that he hadn't woken up yet and was woken up by his phone. Thinking of what happened last night, he felt very guilty: "Xiao Ran, I'm sorry, I missed the appointment last night..."

"Where have you been?" Ji Ran didn't even have the strength to complain, but felt aggrieved: "I waited for you all night, and then..."

I wanted to tell Xia Mo about my stomach trouble and being sent to the hospital for fainting, but the person over there interrupted him and explained: "My mother had a heart attack, and I accompanied her in the hospital for surgery, and the phone dropped in the car , I didn't mean not to answer your call."

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back so abruptly, the light in Ji Ran's eyes dimmed, and asked him slowly: "Are you all right now?"

"It's not very good. The doctor said that a heart transplant operation is needed, or it won't last long. I will accompany her back to the United States for the operation. Xiao Ran, I..."

"You go," Ji Ran said, "Your mother is important."

"I'm sorry, next time, next time I will definitely accompany you on your birthday..."

"It's okay, birthdays happen every year, don't care about this time."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ran slowly slid into the quilt, closing his eyes to barely let the tears flow, except when he was filming, he hadn't cried for many years. Compared with the physical discomfort, the sense of powerless despair, It was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, almost suffocating.

******

In the afternoon, Shen Yaoxiang came to visit the doctor. He heard about Ji Ran's illness and hospitalization from Say. Although Xu Cheng told Say not to disclose it to the outside world, Shen Yaoxiang was Ji Ran's best friend, and he told the truth when he asked Say. To tell the truth.

Seeing the person curled up on the hospital bed with bloodless eyes and vacant eyes, Shen Yaoxiang was startled, pulled a chair over and sat down by the bed, reached out to shake his hand, and asked him worriedly: "Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you? "

Ji Ran looked up at him, and smiled wryly: "I still can't die."

"How did you become like this? What happened?"

Although the two of them are used to laughing and joking on weekdays, this is the first time he has seen Ji Ran look so lifeless, not only because of illness, but also because he seems to be preoccupied.

Ji Ran lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Luo Xiang, have we known each other for six or seven years?"

"Ah, yes."

"Tell me, if I had completely given up on my first love and you hadn't pursued a hopeless goal, would it be possible for us to be together?"

Shen Yaoxiang was startled for a moment, then reached out and knocked on his head: "Stop talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious," Ji Ran looked at him, "When we first met, I had a bad temper and didn't want to talk to others. You were already a very popular idol at that time, and you were always in love with me wherever you went. A large number of people followed, and even took the initiative to post up to strike up a conversation with me, so they didn't think about me at all?"

The smile on the corner of Shen Yaoxiang's mouth slowly receded, looking into Ji Ran's eyes, he said helplessly after a while: "It's hard to say, in fact, I will approach you at the beginning because I think you look like Ningning, especially when you are silent , Now many people on the Internet are saying the same thing. You two look very similar, but you have a completely different personality from him. You will know after a long time. It is ok to be friends with you, and to be a couple. I think I may be able to bear it. I'm sorry for your personality."

On the contrary, Ji Ran was amused by him: "Is my personality so bad?"

"Not really, but I think Boss Xia, who is not very talkative but can tolerate you, complements your personality. It is a perfect match for you. Besides, didn't you get married early? Why are you thinking about all this mess now? "

"Can't we get divorced if we're married?" Ji Ran asked him back.

Shen Yaoxiang was a little surprised when he heard the words: "What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly think so?"

Ji Ran closed her eyes and shook her head: "It's not that I want to leave him, but I think he might not be able to hold on."

"……why?"

"His mother had a heart attack and needed heart replacement surgery. Between his mother and me, he will still choose his mother in the end."

"Don't be so sure, have some confidence in him..."

Ji Ran smiled wryly: "Where did I get the confidence? It wasn't like this back then. Our affairs were discovered by family members. I made an agreement with him that we would leave together just like my uncle. We stole our passports and went out to complete all the formalities and bought a plane ticket." , but at the last moment, I went to the airport alone, and he didn't show up because his mother was sick."

About what Ji Ran and Xia Mo said, Shen Yaoxiang only heard him talk about it roughly, and this was the first time he talked about the past so solemnly.

"It can't be helped, after all, it's his mother..."

"I didn't blame him, I just felt uncomfortable... Didn't you keep asking me why I didn't hold on to him after he lost his memory, but let others take advantage of it?... It was because I couldn't pass my own test, you didn't understand I don’t know what it’s like. I waited for him at the airport all night, and then my father sent him to arrest him. He was locked in the room and cut off all contact with the outside world. I was not allowed to go out. He was broken, and he would be locked up for a lifetime. I refused. At that time, I wanted to be with him and was stubborn. I refused to bow my head. In order to make my parents compromise, I went on a hunger strike for seven days... Later, my stomach was hemorrhage. I vomited blood, passed out, and was sent to the hospital. I was rescued in the hospital for a day and a night, and I almost couldn’t be saved..."

Shen Yaoxiang was astonished when he heard the words, Ji Ran looked cheerful and optimistic, probably no one would have thought that he had such a painful experience before, and it's no wonder he was so surprised, Ji Ran sniffed, Continue to say: "Because I was still unwilling to die like this, I thought I must go to see him. With that kind of will, I survived anyway. I stayed in the hospital for more than a month. My parents didn't dare to imprison me anymore. I went to find him as soon as I got out of the hospital, but do you know what I saw?... Zhang Jiarui held his hand, and he didn't recognize me at all."

"Completely, completely, forget about me, after I came back from hell because of him, he was with someone else... I knew he lost his memory in a car accident, I knew he didn't mean it, but at that time I still accepted No, struggling back from the brink of life and death, the person I love the most has become a stranger. Those who have never experienced the feeling of despair cannot understand it. It’s like the spiritual pillar collapsed. I wondered why I was still alive, if I died on the operating table, I wouldn’t have to go through such pain... I didn’t go to him again, and during that time I shut myself in the room every day in a daze, my mother was almost afraid that I would commit suicide I didn’t close my eyes day and night, and at that time I was still sick, I couldn’t eat anything every day, I vomited when I ate, I almost got anorexia, and later because my mother was too tired and fell ill and went to the hospital, I didn’t want to It was only when my mother was suffering with me that I managed to cheer up...the whole family moved to the United States soon, and I didn't want to stay there anymore, so I ran back here alone to join my uncle..."

"...So your bad stomach is the sequelae of that time?"

Ji Ran nodded: "I used to be in good health, but now I often suffer from stomach problems, and that hunger strike not only ruined my stomach, but my body also deteriorated a lot. All my problems have been caused by my uncle in recent years. That is godfather, he has been giving me advice to help me take care of my health, so I feel a little better."

"……and after?"

"Later..." Ji Ran smiled wryly with her eyes closed: "It took me three or four years to really come out. When I left Spain, I really wanted to never see him again in my life, but after a few years I began to miss him again, especially four years ago when I accompanied my uncle to the United States to see Brother Zixing. I ran into him on the streets of Los Angeles. He was alone at the time, walking with a puppy. I followed him for two streets. I have been hesitating whether to say hello to him. Later, I saw that he dropped his wallet when buying water, so I took the opportunity to pick it up and chased it back to him. He thanked me and left. He still didn’t recognize me at all. I was very disappointed. , I was really disappointed, but since then I have missed him even more, and after I came back, I told my uncle that I wanted to enter the entertainment circle."

"I know his grandfather is the founder of Yaoxing. When he was studying, he said that his grandfather wanted him to inherit his family business, and he would come back here. There will be more opportunities to get in touch with him after this line of work, maybe he can think of me, in fact, I have been conflicted in the past few years. The same thing happened again, I was hesitant and didn't know what to do, so I kept procrastinating until I saw the news on TV that he and Zhang Jiarui were engaged, and I panicked all of a sudden, until that day I finally made up my mind, No matter how desperate and painful, I still don't want to lose him, so I have the cheek to post it even if someone treats him as a third party..."

"...why didn't you tell him?"

"What's the use of telling him? I don't care what people outside think. It doesn't matter even if the whole world thinks I'm a mistress. I only care about him, but his parents are always a hurdle between us. I Even if I tell him, he still has to solve his parents' problems... And I'm not a saint, I know that I can't blame him for the amnesia, but I will always feel wronged, and sometimes I even use words to provoke him to see him jealous, in fact I despise this, but I can't help it. I always think that one day he can tell me that he thinks of me, instead of asking me to tell him again and again that only I remember. In the past, that would have looked pitiful to me."

In the end, Ji Ran's eyes were already red, and Shen Yaoxiang didn't know what to say for a while, so he was silent for a moment, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't think about it, he doesn't seem like someone who would easily compromise. We will be able to be together in the end after a lot of things.”

Ji Ran looked at him, with tears in his eyes, but laughed: "What I said just now is true, he doesn't want me anymore, you can make do with me."

Shen Yaoxiang shook his head: "Just kidding, don't say such things, I know you are uncomfortable, but don't make excuses for yourself because of the discomfort, we barely get together, we will not be happy in the end, I am afraid that we will not even have friends , You have to have confidence in Boss Xia, he can handle his family's problems well."

"I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and he couldn't come because of his mother's heart attack. I couldn't bear the stomachache in the middle of the night. I called him and no one answered. The feeling of helplessness and despair seemed to come back...that was his mother. , what can I complain about...maybe...if I separate from him, I can live a little more chicly..."

Ji Ran closed her eyes, the water from her eyes slipped past the corners of her eyes, and silently sank into the pillow under her body.
