Chapter 606: Can't Look Back

My phone call with Yan Yan continued. After weighing the pros and cons, I finally said to her: "Don't she have an assistant? If you call her assistant, it's really not convenient for me to get there."

After a moment of silence, Yan Yan said to me: "Okay, if you are inconvenient, I won't force you." After that, she hung up the phone.

Her immediate hangup made me feel her emotions towards me, but I really didn't want to tie myself and Jian Wei's private life together. I believe that even if I didn't go, someone else would take her to the hospital.

After paying for the card, I returned to the car with the purchased red wine. When I put on my seat belt, Mi Cai asked me: "Why have I been there for so long?"

I was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "There are too many categories, so I chose it for a while.

I was afraid that she would continue to ask questions, so I started the car after saying that, and then focused on driving. She didn't ask any more. She was still in a high mood and looked at the snow outside the car window, but my mood had changed. It was difficult to share her happiness at this moment. Maybe Robben said it right. I am just a person who is not good at disguise. I like to hang happiness or sorrow on my face. He called me shameless, but we who are deeply trapped in the mundane world have already found it difficult to speak the word "face", including Robben. Maybe it won't take long before I can see his shameless and heart-wrenching appearance.

I was a little anxious and unconsciously increased my car speed, so that before I could fully appreciate the snow scene along the way, Mi Cai and I had already returned to the old house.

......

In the living room, we sat at the dining table and could see the snowflakes falling on the balcony and on the spider plant, hanging down like a crystal pendant, as beautiful as if we were in a painting - this should have been a perfect night!

A bottle of red wine had almost been drunk by us. I opened the second bottle again. Mi Cai shook her head at me and said, "Zhaoyang, I can't drink it anymore, I feel a little dizzy."

"It's already opened, just drink another small cup... I'm happy today, and it's nothing to drink more!"

My "passion" made Mi Cai a little difficult to resist. She nodded, so I poured her half a cup and quickly finished the half cup with her. She seemed to have really drunk too much. After just washing up, she went back to the room and lay on the bed to rest. I covered her with a blanket and confirmed that she was asleep. She was worried and entangled again. I don’t know if someone had sent Jian Wei to the hospital at this time, and if she had escaped the torture of illness.

I finally couldn't help but call Jian Wei's assistant, but the result was: she had been on a business trip in Hangzhou for 3 days, so I called Yan Yan again. Yan Yan said that Jian Wei had asked her assistant to send her to the hospital. This completely different statement made me immediately judge: Jian Wei, a woman, must be suffering alone and suffering from illness alone...

My persistence broke in an instant in her sick face... I gritted my teeth, finally put on my coat, gently closed the door, and left the old house that gave me a lot of psychological pressure at this time. I knew that Mi Cai would be very unhappy to do this, but I was even more worried about Jian Wei, and I was also lucky. I knew that Mi Cai, who was already drunk, would not find my departure on this night.

.........

After leaving the community, I took a taxi to Jian Wei's residence, and then trot into the corridor. First, I was worried about Jian Wei, second, I wanted to end this troublesome night as soon as possible, and then calmly go back to sleep. The next day I forgot what happened tonight. I woke up and understood that the sky was so big, but Mi Cai was by my side. At this time, she was the most important woman in my life.

I stood outside the door and rang the doorbell. Jian Wei's weak questioning came from inside: "Who?"

"I... Zhaoyang, open the door."

Jian Wei seemed to be surprised by my arrival. After a while, she replied: "Wait a minute..."

After waiting for a full minute, she finally opened the door. One of her feet was curled up, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her face turned sickly. All this told me that she had a bad day!

I closed the door, helped her walk towards the sofa, and asked, "When I left the day before yesterday, didn't you ask you to hire a caretaker? Your stomachache must be caused by not eating on time."

"I don't really like strangers coming to my private residence. Besides, it's not a big pain. I will be able to recover from my ability to take care of myself in a few days!"

I didn't like her overly strong personality, so I blamed her: "You can do everything by yourself. If you have the ability, don't have the stomach aches. If you have the ability, go to work in the company today, why should you hide at home?"

Jian Wei let go of her hand pressed on her stomach, frowned, and replied, "Zhaoyang, if you treat me as a trouble, you can't come, and I haven't called you."

I didn't want to get too entangled with her, so I restrained my dissatisfaction and blame and said, "I didn't quarrel with you. I'll take you to the hospital now... okay?"

"No need...I'm much better."

Her refusal made me a little anxious, and I was even more reluctant to waste the time I ran out with Mi Cai on my back in meaningless entanglement. I immediately went to the shoe rack to find a pair of softer cotton shoes in front of her, urging me: "Hurry up and put on the shoes, we will go to the hospital immediately. Whether it is up to the doctor to decide whether it is right or not."

Jian Wei shook her head: "I don't know what reason you used, but I know that you must have come to me with Mi Cai on your back... I don't want any unpleasant misunderstandings between the three of us. This is what I promised you. Let's stay away from each other's private life..." After stopping, she said again: "The most painful time has passed, and I am really much better now!"

Half-believing and half-doubted, I chose to compromise because I really didn't want to waste too much time, but I didn't leave immediately. I boiled her a pot of hot water, and then went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some cimetidine tablets and painkillers to prepare for her emergency needs. After the hot water boiled, I poured her a cup of her, let her take the medicine I bought, and then poured a hot water bag, so that she could hold her to her abdomen to keep warm. Then I felt a little relieved.

I was leaving, but when I walked to the door, I was still worried. I couldn't forget that when I helped her boil water, the cold pots and pans in the kitchen, I could feel her desolation at this time, as if I lived alone in a world without any warmth, and there was no one around me who could take care of her.

I finally turned around and said to her: "Get a caretaker tomorrow. Remember to eat three meals on time, even if you order takeout... Otherwise, you will really become a trouble for others. I'm sorry to ask me today, and I don't know who to bother tomorrow!"

"I understand..." Her lips were trembling, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.

I restrained myself from seeing her miserable appearance, turned around and took her to the door and left... but I stood outside the door for a long time, for a long time... and then I heard her heart-wrenching crying!

She thought I had gone far, but in fact I had never been able to take my own steps, but... I couldn't turn back, I really couldn't turn back. I was afraid of the constant pain and fragmented scenes when facing her... Now, I have fallen in love with other women. My concern for her is just friendship or sympathy, but there is absolutely nothing about love. I told myself this over and over again.
