After three days of busyness, on the fourth day, Ning Suyi was exhausted and had a high fever. With the symptoms of headache, she became confused.

Fortunately, there were medical staff coming to rescue at the gathering site. She took her body temperature and had an infusion needle inserted into the back of her hand.

Jing Chiyan felt so uncomfortable as she watched her get more and more haggard every day, and even if she got better, she was not allowed to do it herself.

Ning Suyi sat on the folding chair for infusion, and Jing Chi stood by silently.

Not long after, she fell asleep because of sleepiness. Jing Chi called a volunteer to help pick up the infusion bag. He picked her up horizontally and placed it flat on a hospital bed that happened to be empty - Ning Suyi was unwilling to occupy the tight bed before and insisted on sitting on a chair for infusion.

Jing Chi took off her shoes, pulled the quilt and covered her body, stood up, took the infusion bag from the volunteers, and hung it back on the infusion stand.

He pulled a chair over, sat by the bed and continued to guard her, pushing his fingers away from the hair between her forehead, staring at her face, and sighed softly for a while.

Even if she didn't say it, he knew in his heart that Leji's death had a big blow to her.

On the evening of the 25th, he and Director Qiu went to the neighboring village to deliver relief supplies and returned to the temporary gathering point. They saw Ning Suyi sitting there blankly, crying silently.

When he received the news of Leji's death on the road, he guessed that she must be sad, but when he saw this scene, he felt that his heart was grabbed and raised high.

Jing Chi walked over and hugged her. She seemed to find a support for her. She whimpered quietly and said to him incoherently: "How could she be gone? She obviously... told me that she would... study hard, take the college entrance exam in the future, and go to Ningcheng to find me..."

Afterwards, Ning Suyi was like a robot who couldn't rest, constantly running, helping to transport goods, and simply bandage the wounds. She almost didn't stop, and eventually broke her body.

Little did she know that she relied on doing things like this to divert her thoughts. As the person around her and as someone who loves her, she should be truly touched.

Jing Chi lowered her eyes and gently held her fingers, praying that the rain would pass soon, that she would get better soon, and be happy and healthy forever.

Ning Suyi slept for a long time. When she woke up, the needle on the back of her hand had been removed. She turned her head slightly and saw the person lying on the bedside.

His fingers moved and touched his face. Jing Chi woke up and looked up at her. His eyes were sleepy and his voice was tired: "Wake up, how do you feel?"

As he said that, he reached out and put his hand on her forehead, and tried his own forehead again, but it was not that hot.

"It's much better." Ning Suyi spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.

Jing Chi picked up the large thermos on the table, poured a bottle of hot water, helped her sit up halfway, and handed her the bottle cap: "Drink some hot water."

Ning Suyi drank three bottles of water in a row, and her voice finally felt much more comfortable. She leaned against the head of the bed, her fingers wrapped around her hands, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Did you worry?"

"I'm also saying that I was so frightened by the last time I was so scared that I came again this time. I always said that I don't care about my body, but what about you?" Jing Chi became more and more frustrated. "You said you can't watch something happen to me, so the same way, I don't want to see you lying on the hospital bed dying."

"It's not that serious, right? Where is it dying?" Ning Suyi subconsciously refuted his words, met his angry eyes, and was docile for two points, "I'm sorry, I won't know how to do it in the future."

Ning Suyi took a light breath and then slowly spit it out, which was an act of removing the burden and cheering up again.

Jing Chi didn't want to make her sad, but she had to say: "The little girl likes you the most. If you know you are like this, you may be sad."

Ning Suyi's palm covered his forehead and pushed it slightly: "Don't use this kind of rhetoric to coax me. I know very well that living people always carry more, and there is no reason to stagnate. I will live every day well, and will not be immersed in the past all the time. People who need to remember will only remember in their hearts."

Jing Chi hoped that she would be more open-minded. When she really let go, he felt sorry for whether she was suppressing herself.

Ning Suyi saw his eyebrows frowning and immediately understood what he was thinking. She curled her lips and smiled softly, with no concealment in her smile: "I didn't lie to you."

Jing Chi pinched her face: "It would be best if you really think so."

——

On the last day of July, the lingering rain finally stopped. The sky cleared, the golden sun shone on the skin and the burning touch was felt. It was the temperature of summer.

Floods in surrounding villages have been controlled, and all parties are actively arranging flood discharge work.

Ning Suyi rested for two days, was resurrected with full blood, wore a blue and white sportswear, and a baseball cap. She followed the people from Danshan Village back to her residence.

Big trees, telephone poles, mud and sand, walls... all kinds of unknown objects are mixed together to form a ruin.

Everyone could not help but cover their faces and cry when they saw the current situation. Some of them had their emotions collapsed and cried loudly at the ruins. That was really at a loss and helpless.

Fortunately, the building in the primary school is intact. After being washed away by the flood, the yellow mud on the ground was shrouded in the scorching sun and turned into a thick layer of dust and sand, which could barely be regarded as a place to stay.

After Ning Suyi understood the situation, she knew that she would not be able to help if she stayed. It was serious to go back to Ningcheng as soon as possible to formulate a house reconstruction plan.

She said to Jing Chi: "Let's go back to Ningcheng tomorrow."

Jing Chi: "Okay."

Someone next to him heard the conversation between the two, wiped his tears and asked Ning Suyi: "Is Miss Ning leaving?"

"I will go back and arrange for construction experts to come and help everyone rebuild the house as soon as possible. There will be subsidies for the top leaders. Charity foundations, including some companies, will donate funds and supplies. Don't be discouraged and cheer up as soon as possible." Ning Suyi said, "I will continue to pay attention until this home has recovered as before."

This is where she has lived for more than a month. Although it sounds like a short time, it has long contained deep feelings. She remembers everyone here, Aunt Li with good skills, Zhou Yue, Aunt Yun with excellent needles, and Le Ji who is lively and naughty... so many cute people.

She will always remember them.

Before leaving, the two had nothing to pack up, and the pile of items in the suitcase had been buried by mud and stones, and they were only dressed in light clothes.

The whole village came to see her off, looked at Ning Suyi reluctantly, asked her to take care of her health, and thanked her for everything she did for them.

Zhou Yue spoke at the right time: "If you stop Teacher Ning again, she will not be able to catch up with the plane."

Everyone took a few steps back and watched Ning Suyi and Jing Chi get into the car. Ning Suyi lowered the window, poked her head out, and waved her goodbye to them.

Zhou Yue borrowed a car and drove the two to the airport in person. The scenery he saw along the way was contrasted with what Ning Suyi saw when she first came.

The green mountains and clear waters that had lasted thousands of miles in the past are now full of loess and sand, and the crops in the fields are tilted, and none of them are growing vigorously towards the sun.

The road was rugged, and the car was slightly better when it drove to the county road. Zhou Yue looked at them from the rearview mirror, and Ning Suyi was leaning against Jing Chi's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

He swallowed back what he wanted to say and stopped talking.

It was almost noon when I arrived at the airport. Zhou Yue drove the car for almost a morning and half of his body was about to froze. Ning Suyi thanked him repeatedly when she got off the bus, and Zhou Yue only said that she didn't have to be so polite.

The two stood face to face, while Jing Chi stood beside Ning Suyi, with the scorching sun, and the sparse passengers walked past him.

Ning Suyi turned her head and glanced at the airport hall behind her, brushed away the hair on her face, looked at Zhou Yue again, and said with a smile: "Then, let's leave, Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Yue's eyes were deep, and he always felt that her hair was naturally casual, but she was so beautiful, like a carefully designed movie shot.

"Goodbye." Zhou Yue said.

He wore a blue and white vertical striped shirt with short sleeves, light brown casual pants, and white sneakers, the same as he was wearing when he went to the fork in the road that day to pick up Ning Suyi. Now, he still dressed the same, but he wanted to send her away, and a feeling of melancholy felt in his heart.

Jing Chi coughed lightly, breaking the strange atmosphere between the two, and saying to Ning Suyi: "Let's go."

Zhou Yue curled his fingers and suddenly spoke: "Can you hug me?"

Ning Suyi was stunned, shocked in her heart. Just as she didn't know how to refuse, Jing Chi helped her out. He took a step forward and showed a hug between a man. He patted Zhou Yue's back with his hand: "There will be a period of time later. I will be spared. My girlfriend can only hug me."

Zhou Yue said intimately, they were indeed lovers. He smiled relievedly and replied to Jing Chi with a remake: "There will be a date later."

Jing Chi pretended to be arrogant and raised his eyebrows at him and said, "We are leaving, please be careful on the way."

After saying that, he put his arm over Ning Suyi's shoulders, turned around with her, and strode towards the airport, leaving Zhou Yue with a pair of very good backs.

Ning Suyi was about to be unable to keep up with his footsteps, so she pushed him with her hand: "What are you doing when you are walking so fast? There are still two hours before boarding the plane."

Jing Chi tried to keep calm: "I'm hungry, go eat first."

Ning Suyi: "Are you jealous?"

"Ha, I'm jealous of him? I can't do it." Jing Chi snorted, saying that it was impossible. If he wanted to eat, he would also eat Mu Jingting's jealousy. That person was his lifelong enemy.

The two of them were about to have something casually to finish lunch. Jing Chi's cell phone rang and took it out of their pocket and looked at it. It was Ge Peiru who called it.

Logically speaking, he called home only last night. If nothing important was happening, his family would not call him on his own initiative for fear of affecting his work.

Jing Chi hesitated and called out, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Ge Peiru pressed his voice and asked him, "Where are you?"

"I am here……"

"Tell me the truth!" Ge Peiru interrupted the lie he was about to say, restrained his temper and said, "Your grandma is watching the afternoon news, and there was a huge mudslide in Tonghua Township, killing and injured hundreds of people. A camera brought to your face, and grandma's eyes were sharper than me. She recognized it as you and asked me to call and ask where you were."

Jing Chi covered his eyes with his palm and said intimately, "Unfortunate, I've been hiding it for so many days, and I'm about to return to Ningcheng to reveal my feelings."

Ning Suyi listened to a rough idea and could think about how the Jing family should be thinking about him after seeing the news. She touched Jing Chi's finger and told him silently: Don't lie, tell the truth.

Jing Chi listened to her and explained to Ge Peiru in a vain and finally said, "Nothing happened to me. It's great. I will be able to go to Ningcheng this afternoon. Let you see it with your own eyes, right?"

Ning Suyi turned her face away and the corners of her mouth bent slightly.

Jing Chi glanced at Ning Suyi, pinched her chin with her fingers, crossed her face, and asked her to face herself: "Su Su is here, I'll be with her."

After saying that, he handed the phone to Ning Suyi: "My mother wants to tell you a few words."

Ning Suyi suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and closed her eyes in despair.

The midday news on TV is playing. Jing Chi's camera is only one or two seconds, while Ning Suyi has more cameras. The media has shot at various angles, so Ge ​​Peiru knew that Ning Suyi was walking with him.

Ning Suyi took the cell phone from his hand, attached it to his ear, answered softly, then looked at Jing Chi and said, "He didn't lie to you, we will go back immediately. We are not injured, we are all fine."

Ning Suyi handed back the phone to him, and Jing Chi took it over and complained: "What, what I said is not trustworthy. You must believe what Su Su said?"

Ge Peiru said angrily: "You dead child, who told you to lie first? The trust is gone! You are waiting to go home and be scolded by the old lady!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, we're going to have lunch."

Jing Chi hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. He touched his forehead with his fingers, and it turned out to be a layer of hot sweat. Fortunately, Ning Suyi helped him, otherwise he would not know how long it would take to explain.

Ning Su thought of Ge Peiru's advice just now, asking her to take good care of Jing Chi and stop letting him act willful. I believe Jing Chi had not told his family about their relationship, and Ge Peiru still thought she was Jing Chi's caring sister.

She looked embarrassed and pulled La Jingchi's hand. He put away his phone and turned to look at her. When his beautiful eyes were always very innocent and charming when he stared at people.

Ning Suyi was a little embarrassed. Jing Chi held her hand and couldn't guess what she was thinking. She could only ask: "What are you going to say to me?"
