Chapter 80

At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Zhongyu called.

The moment Shen Yanbai picked it up, he couldn't hold back his irritability: "Where did you go? Why didn't you say anything?!"

"Sorry," Jiang Zhongyu's tone was full of exhaustion, he sighed softly, and said, "I'm in Suojia now."

"... Suojia?" Shen Yanbai was stunned, and repeated in disbelief, "Suojia?"

"Well, something happened at home..." Jiang Zhongyu said, "I bought a plane ticket and planned to tell you when I landed, but my phone ran out of battery and I just recharged it when I got home. Sorry."

"What's wrong?" Shen Yanbai stood up and looked out the window, "Is auntie sick?"

Shen Yanbai still remembered Jiang Zhongyu telling him that Ye Jing was not feeling well a few days ago, as if she was sick.But then it was fine again, no problem.

"No." Jiang Zhongyu denied, "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

Even though there was much reluctance in his heart, Shen Yanbai didn't dare to cause trouble at this time, so he could only say "Oh" and said, "Okay, then tell me when you come back, and I will pick you up at the airport."

"Yes." Jiang Zhongyu nodded.

Inexplicably, the two didn't continue talking, Shen Yanbai consciously hung up the phone and stared out the window in a daze.In the past, he and Jiang Zhongyu could find a movie to watch together, but today he didn't want to do anything.

Jiang Zhongyu hung up the phone, turned around, and saw Ye Jing sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him expressionlessly, with cold eyes, looking a little scary.

He was so startled that the phone in his hand almost fell to the ground.Sighing helplessly, he asked, "Mom, why don't you make a sound?"

"I speak out, how can I hear you calling him?"

Ye Jing's voice was also very cold, her hand on the wheelchair was bony, and the veins on the back of her hand were bulging.She was much thinner than the side Shen Yanbai had seen before, her chin was so thin that there was almost no flesh left, her hair was more than half gray, and she was much older.

The hand on the leg still held the gauze on the wrist, and the red part was blood oozing out.

Jiang Zhongyu didn't make a sound, and put his phone on the table to continue charging.

"You still have to go back." Ye Jing said in a calm, indifferent tone without any emotion, "Your father is here, and I am here. Where can you go?"

"Have you taken your medicine?" Jiang Zhongyu asked her.

Ye Jing didn't answer.

Jiang Zhongyu walked into her room, and there was a damp and decaying smell in the room. Ye Jing didn't open the windows for ventilation all year round, so the smell was extremely complicated and unpleasant.

Jiang Zhongyu opened the drawer, and there was an old diary inside. When Jiang Zhongyu was a child, he often saw Ye Jing holding this diary to read, and it took him a whole afternoon to see it.She should still be watching it now, she has been trapped in her own memories for too many years, and has never come out.

The medicine is gone, and I don't know when it will be gone.

"Didn't you say that you should tell Xue Yi when you have no medicine?" Jiang Zhongyu sighed and walked out.

Ye Jing grabbed his wrist suddenly. She probably used all her strength, and Jiang Zhongyu was in pain.

"Where are you going?" Ye Jing said, "You can't go."

"I'll go buy medicine for you," Jiang Zhongyu said patiently, "You haven't taken medicine for a long time."

"What's the use of this medicine?" Ye Jing did not let go of his hand, the force was so strong that the veins on the back of her hand bulged.

"Okay, I won't go." Jiang Zhongyu took a step back, holding the handle of her wheelchair, "I'll push you back to rest."

Ye Jing was still holding onto his hand, as if she was afraid that he would run away, and murmured: "I have to watch you, I can't run away like your father... I have to watch you..."

Shen Yanbai did not contact Jiang Zhongyu all day again.

He had no choice but to contact Cang La, but Cang La didn't say anything, only that something urgent happened at Jiang Zhongyu's family and needed to be dealt with.If it wasn't because he still had a job in hand, Shen Yanbai really wanted to fly to Suojia immediately to see what happened to Jiang Zhongyu's house.

Maybe at a time like this, Jiang Zhongyu needs his company by his side even more.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Yanbai finally dialed Jiang Zhongyu's phone number.

Jiang Zhongyu was sitting in the yard, with stars in the sky behind him.Shen Yanbai's eyes lit up: "Put it on the back and let me see the stars."

Jiang Zhongyu raised his hand and pointed the camera at the sky.The starry sky is shining, and Shen Yanbai's eyes are also shining: "I really miss it."

Jiang Zhongyu smiled and said, "How is your work today?"

"That's it," Shen Yanbai said, "shoot step by step. It's not interesting. Don't just talk about me, talk about you, how are things at home going?"

Ye Jing had already fallen asleep, and Jiang Zhongyu dared to come to the yard to call Shen Yanbai after Ye Jing fell asleep, sneaking around like a thief.

"It's okay," Jiang Zhongyu said, "It's just that it may take a while before I can go back."

Shen Yanbai let out an "ah" and sighed, "How long will it take?"

"Not sure." Jiang Zhongyu's eyes flickered slightly, and said, "Let's talk about it."

Shen Yanbai's subconscious mind told him that something must be wrong, but Jiang Zhongyu didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to curl his lips and ask tentatively: "Jiang Zhongyu, you won't come back, right?"

Jiang Zhongyu paused, then joked lightly, "It's possible."

Shen Yanbai's heart sank suddenly, and his intuition told him that Jiang Zhongyu's "possibility" was really possible, not a joke, so the smile on his face faded a lot in an instant, and his lips were tightened, turning into A straight line, and asked him: "What happened at home?"

"It's nothing serious, don't think too much about it." Jiang Zhongyu said, "I was joking with you just now, don't worry. I'll come back when I'm done."

Even so, Shen Yanbai always felt that what Jiang Zhongyu said before was the truth.

"I think you're lying to me," Shen Yanbai said, "Jiang Zhongyu, I hate people lying to me the most."

"I didn't lie to you." Jiang Zhongyu pointed the screen at the moonlight in the distance, and said, "I will definitely come back after the New Year is over."

Shen Yanbai stared at the moonlight on the phone screen for a while, then suddenly remembered that it was already the middle of January, and the Chinese New Year would be in half a month.

This is also his first New Year's Eve since he and Jiang Zhongyu were together.

He suddenly thought of a wonderful idea, maybe he could come to Hoh Xil and celebrate the New Year with Jiang Zhongyu and Ye Jing.

"Success." Shen Yanbai's expression became better again visible to the naked eye, he shrugged slightly relaxed, and said, "Then we will see you in the Chinese New Year."

"Well, see you in the New Year."

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
