As soon as Hu Die returned to the hospital, Jiang Man dragged her to take an X-ray, but she didn't hurt her bones, but there were some bruises. The doctor prescribed some medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

"Look at you, you are such an adult, you can still be hit like this when you walk." Jiang Man poured the medicated oil and melted it in the palm of his hand, and pressed it on the bruise on Hu Die's shoulder.

She flinched from the pain, her whole face wrinkled together: "I'm not... hiss, mom, mom, be gentle, I just didn't pay attention when I was walking..."

"Don't go out for me these two days, and rest in the hospital." After Jiang Man finished speaking, seeing her silent, he asked, "Did you hear that?"

Hu Die bared her teeth and let out a long "hmm".

After applying the medicine, Jiang Man went into the bathroom to wash his hands. Hu Die pulled his collar and looked at the bruises on his shoulders, feeling a headache from the smell of the medicine oil.

She clicked her tongue in disgust, got out of bed and opened the window in the ward. The temperature of the air conditioner in the room was already high, and the cool air in the room was completely dissipated by the warm sea breeze.

Jiang Man came out after washing his hands and saw that she had opened the window without closing the screen window. While muttering, he walked over to close the screen window, and turned on the TV in the room after finishing.

The weather forecast for Rongcheng for the next week was playing on the TV, and it was always sunny.

Jiang Man put on his glasses, took out the unfinished needlework and sat under the window sill.

Hu Die accidentally looked up and saw her mother under the lamp, and suddenly had the illusion that she was not living in the hospital ward but at home.

She suddenly called out, "Mom."

"Huh?" Jiang Man replied without raising his head.

"I..." Hu Die wanted to ask if it was hard to take care of her, but she couldn't ask.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Die smiled: "I want to eat scallop and mushroom porridge tomorrow."

"Didn't you just eat at Jing Yue's house today? Don't worry about getting tired of eating." Mentioning Jing Yue, Jiang Man asked: "You went to someone's house today, are his parents there?"

"No, his home is in City B, and his parents should be there." Hu Die said, "He just came here to play during the summer vacation."

"That's it."

Jiang Man asked some other questions, but Hu Die couldn't answer, but suddenly thought of something, "He seems to be a swimmer."

"Who is it, Jing Yue?"

"Well, I heard what his classmate said." Hu Die took the iPad aside, clicked on the browser, and typed the word Shao Yun in the input field.

Baidu Encyclopedia has Shao Yun's information, born on January 6, 1997, currently studying at B City Sports University|Sports Training Major, is a member of the Chinese swimming team.

Hu Die swiped down, and saw Jing Yue's photo in the swimmer recommendation column related to "Shao Yun Swimming".

It is a Baidu snapshot of him wearing the national team uniform, wearing the five-star red flag, and laughing at the camera.

The picture quality is a little fuzzy, but it can't hide the vigor and vitality of the young man. He looks like two completely opposite people from the Jing Yue that Hu Die saw.

Hu Die clicked on the photo, and there was Jing Yue's Baidu Encyclopedia on the homepage.

Jing Yu, born in City B on November 7, 1997, is currently studying at the Sports University of City B | majoring in sports training, and is a former member of the Chinese swimming team.

In 2011, Jing Yue won the 400m and 200m championships in the National Swimming Competition, breaking the championship of the 200m freestyle in the youth group that year, and is also the record holder to this day.

In 2012, he entered the national team training and participated in the World Swimming Championships in the same year and won the 400m freestyle championship. This is also his first World Championships medal.

After closed training for one year in 2013, at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, Jing Yu won the men's freestyle 50m and 200m championships in one fell swoop, becoming the only double champion in the Asian Games that year.

In the Asian Games in G City in 2015, Jing Yue won all the gold medals in the middle and long distance freestyle.

In 2016, Jing Yu retired due to injury, and his swimming career came to an end.

In just a few lines of text, Hu Die watched it for nearly half an hour. There are many short videos of Jing Yue's past participation in the competition in Baidu.

She clicked on one at random.

In the video, the boy plunged into the water like an arrow from the string, with the sound of the whistle, his arms were swinging very fast, his long legs kicked out waves, and his figure was like a fish swimming straight towards the water. Speeding away to the other side of the pool.

Jing Yue in the water was like a whale in the sea, as if he was born for water, and the waves were cheering him on.

The moment his fingertips touched the edge of the finish line, bursts of cheers erupted immediately, and the five-star red flag belonging to China ranked first on the big screen, followed by Jing Yue's name and achievements.

Just like the enthusiastic atmosphere on the court, Jing Yue, who was still in the pool, also smiled. He took off his swimming cap and goggles, and jumped out of the water.

The tall and slender figure of the young man was completely exposed in front of the camera.

He was drenched all over, like a beautiful jade soaked in water, as if glowing under the bright spotlights of the stadium.

The quality of the video was high-definition, Hu Die zoomed in on the screen, and the boy's right arm was clean, nothing.

She looked at the time of the game, it was 15 years. At that time, he was in the limelight, and it was the time when he was in high spirits.

Hu Die watched the video and finally held up the medal to the camera, smiling recklessly and frivolously.

She suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for each other.

There are so many videos of Jing Yue's competition that Hu Die watched all night and didn't even know when he fell asleep. After finishing the routine examination the next day, she was restricted from going out and lay on the bed to continue watching the rest of the video.

Hu Yuanheng brought over the soup at noon. Seeing his daughter staring at the screen with great enthusiasm, he leaned over and took a look: "Since when did you become interested in swimming?"

Hu Die is a landlubber, who runs happily on the ice all day long, but is cowardly when put into the water.

"If you can't eat pork, can you let me watch the pig run?" Hu Die paused, watching Hu Yuanheng take something out of the bag, "What's delicious today?"

"You don't want to drink scallop and mushroom porridge, I cooked some for you and cooked a few side dishes." Hu Yuanheng put the porridge and small bowls on the table: "Where's your mother?"

"It's in Dr. Zhou's office." Hu Die got out of bed and walked to the table without washing her hands. She directly took a small piece of pickled crispy radish and threw it into her mouth, crunching it.

"Hey!" Hu Yuanheng patted the back of her hand: "Wash your hands before eating. I'll go find your mother."

She lazily replied: "Okay..."

Hu Yuanheng went out, and Hu Die sat at the table, smelling the faint aroma of porridge, but didn't have much appetite.

Every time after Dr. Zhou visited Jiang Man and Hu Yuanheng, Hu Die could clearly feel the mood swings of the two of them. It might not be good news this time.

She sighed softly, just as she picked up the spoon, she heard her phone ring, it was a WeChat notification.

Hu Die got up and walked over to unplug the charging cable, took the phone back to the table and sat down, and clicked on WeChat.

Jing Yue: Are you in the hospital?

"Huh?" Hu Die was stunned for a moment, and replied with one word.

Butterfly: in

Jing Yue: You have been staying in the hospital?

Butterfly: Almost, what's the matter? Is there anything you can do to help?

Jing Yue: No, it was Mo Hai's parents who knew that he accidentally hurt you yesterday and asked me to bring Mo Hai over to apologize to you.

butterfly: ah

Butterfly: Don't worry, I'm fine!

After Hu Die sent this, she immediately thought of something, flipped through the chat records of the two of them, and couldn't help laughing when she saw that she insisted on thanking Jing Yue and he refused.

The phone buzzed twice again.

Jing Yue: Yes.

Jing Yue: Got it.

Hu Die: "..."

Are you being polite?

Hu Die let out a long "Hey", and seeing that Jing Yue didn't say anything, she didn't reply to the message. After all, she really didn't think about asking Mo Hai to apologize to her.

She was eating lunch while watching the video, and in the middle of eating, Hu Yuanheng opened the door and walked in.

Hu Die glanced behind him and asked, "Where's Mom?"

"Pay the money." Hu Yuanheng didn't look too good, but forced a smile in front of his daughter, "Is it delicious?"

"It's okay." Hu Die pretended not to know anything, and complained: "There is too little scallop meat."

"Scallops are also seafood. Although they are nourishing, eating too much is not good." Hu Yuanheng walked to the window and saw the coconut shells on the window sill: "Why are these still kept?"

"I keep it as a flowerpot, and I'll go buy some succulents in a few days and come back to raise them."

Hu Yuanheng said, "You're not afraid that the shell will rot."

Hu Die choked: "I forgot."

Hu Yuanheng smiled: "Okay, if you want to raise it, I'll go to the market and buy you a ready-made one."

After lunch, Hu Die took a nap as usual, probably because she didn't sleep well last night, she slept until the afternoon.

When he woke up, the sun had not yet set, Jiang Man sat by the bed, did nothing, but looked at her very gently: "Have you slept well?"

Hu Die said "um", "What time is it?"

"It's almost five o'clock. You usually wake up after an hour or two of sleep. Why did you sleep so long today?" Jiang Man tucked the quilt for her: "Are you feeling unwell recently?"

"No, I just didn't sleep well last night, I'm fine." Hu Die looked at her mother: "Mom."

"Um?"

She called out again: "Mom."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Man touched her forehead: "Aren't you going to watch the sunset today?"

"Didn't you let me go out?" Hu Die blinked and said, "I won't go out these two days, so please spend more time with me."

"Isn't mom accompanying you in the hospital every day? You, on the other hand, like to run out all day long, and you can't stop it."

Hu Die smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Man stood up: "Okay, wake up, sleep so much, I won't be able to fall asleep at night."

"I'll lie down for a while and get up." Hu Die raised her pillow and lay on the bed playing with her mobile phone.

After a while, Jiang Man opened the door and came in: "Your father called and said that the water pipe at home was broken and he couldn't come to the hospital. I'll go back and get you dinner. Don't go out."

"Oh."

Hu Die's home is in the community behind the hospital, just across the road, and Hu Yuanheng usually prepares three meals a day at home and sends them over.

Not long after Jiang Man left, Hu Die received Jing Yue's WeChat again.

He actually learned her trick of cutting first and then playing, and only asked her if she was in the ward when he arrived at the hospital. Hu Die finally realized Jing Yue's mood at that time, and it was hard to refuse, so she sent him the ward number.

Butterfly: Area A 305.

At the entrance of the hospital, Jing Yu looked at the reply on the phone, turned around and said to Mo Hai, "Let's go."

Mo Hai responded, and followed him with an oversized fruit basket in his arms.

The inpatient department is in the south, divided into several areas. Area A is the oncology department. Four years ago, Jing Yu's mother fell ill and lived here briefly.

While waiting for the elevator, Jing Yu looked at the introduction about tumors posted on the wall, and suddenly remembered the report he saw last night.

It was mentioned in the article that Hu Die’s disease was non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which was diagnosed in the winter of 2016, but the article did not mention it in detail.

At the age of 11, he followed his mother to Los Angeles for training. At the age of 14, he participated in the ISU figure skating competition in Russia. He overcame obstacles all the way, and finally won the gold medal in the final held in City B, and then entered the training of the Chinese figure skating team.

At the age of 15, he won the Four Continents Figure Skating Championship.

At the age of 16, she won the gold medal in the women's singles short program and free skating events in the National Figure Skating Grand Prix.

At the age of 17, at the National Figure Skating Championships, she won the women's single skating championship with 70.84 points in the short program and 143.93 points in the free skating, with a total score of 214.77. This competition is also the highest total score in Hu Die's personal sports career.

Jing Yu remembered that the editor did not use regrettable words to write about her fall, but anyone who read this report and understood the glory she had achieved would feel that her fall was a pity.

He and she, to some extent, are somewhat similar.

While thinking, the elevator had already reached the first floor, and Jing Yu was about to pull Mo Hai to the side, when the elevator door opened, there was only Hu Die inside.

She pressed the button to open the door in time, and smiled at the two of them: "Good afternoon."

Jing Yu hummed: "Why did you come down?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find a place. I just happened to be bored in the ward, so I came out to get some air." Hu Die waited for them to come in, and took the seat on the third floor.

She looked at the fruit basket in Mo Hai's arms, turned her head and asked Jing Yue, "Is it for me?"

Jing Yue nodded: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just picked something."

"It's a waste." Hu Die looked at the thermos in his hand again, pointed and said, "Is this for me too?"

"Well, scallop and mushroom porridge."

"..."

Jing Yue saw her strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I only ate scallop and mushroom porridge at noon." Hu Die sighed: "My dad knew I wanted to eat this, so he cooked a big pot for me at noon. I don't think you will have this meal tonight, so he still made me this. .”

"Then...how about I cook other porridge for you?"

Hu Die wailed: "Can't we skip the porridge option?"

Jing Yu smiled faintly: "Okay."

Hu Die lived in a suite, and Jiang Man was not there. She simply cleaned up the living room just now, "Sit whatever you want, my parents are going home to pick up things, and they probably won't be here until later. Do you drink water or something? But I don't have anything else here. Yes, only milk."

Jing Yu: "Water will do."

Hu Die poured him a glass of water, and gave Mo Hai a box of milk from the small refrigerator. He sat aside and looked at them for a few seconds, and asked, "Where is Shao Yun? Why didn't he come with you today?" ?”

Jing Yu glanced at her, then looked away, "Students came over today, and he went to the station to pick them up."

"Is it your college classmate?"

Jing Yue nodded, "They're here to play." Before he finished speaking, Mo Hai rushed to the side and said, "We're going out on a boat tomorrow!"

Hu Die looked at Jing Yue: "Going to sea?"

"Um."

"so good."

She had that kind of envious and regretful tone again.

Hearing this, Jing Yu felt as if he was being grabbed lightly. He reached out to pick up the water glass on the table, rubbed his fingertips on the wall of the glass twice, and suddenly said, "Are you coming?"

Hu Die's eyes lit up: "Can I come?"

"Can you come?" Jing Yue looked at her and asked the same question.

Hu Die knew what he was worried about, and said with a smile, "Of course I can."

He took a sip of water, his lips were moistened, "Then come on."
