Ning Lan didn't intend to pick it up, but Sui Yi held it up for more than half a minute, his hands were stiff, and suddenly he heard the phone ringing. He threw the clothes back into the basin and reached out to take the flower.

"My eldest young master." As soon as the phone was answered, Wang Xu stretched his tone and shouted feebly, "Can't you keep a low profile? Your bottoms are about to be ripped off."

Sui Yi turned around and walked to the corner, and asked, "What are the underpants?"

"Someone took a photo of you and Ning Lan and posted it on an anonymous forum to ask what was going on. Within two hours, those fans ripped the two of you upside down. Even the food blogger you liked might be Ning Lan. It's all been guessed. Fortunately, Mi Jie found out early, so I went to find someone to delete it, otherwise the matter will be caught by the media and fermented, and you don't want to let go of the remaining half-month vacation. "

Sui Yi is quite satisfied with her job as an artist. Not only is she a professional counterpart, but she can continue to play the piano. The only thing that is unbearable is that sometimes it is useless to go out with a mask, hat, and full armor. It is really not a good feeling to be watched by the people of the whole country in private life.

"Just pick it up," Sui Yi said, "I was just about to make it public."

"What?" Wang Xu heard the muffled sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, "Young master, are you crazy? Now it's public, do you want your fans? Do you want your future?"

Sui Yidao: "I thought my attitude was clear enough. The Weibo that I spoke for him, and the actions at the concert were just buffering time for the fans, and I have never shied away from mentioning that I was looking for him over the years. This matter, now that people have found it, why can't it be made public?"

Wang Xu pressed his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "I know such a day will come sooner or later, but you made such a unilateral decision, have you asked Ning Lan what he meant? He hid for so long, didn't he just live in peace? What do you think will happen to him once it's made public?"

Sui Yi said solemnly, "I will protect him."

He had thought about this question for a long time. He wanted to give Ning Lan a stable life, and he wanted to give him an honorable title. The former was the source of Ning Lan's happiness, and the latter was the only security he could give Ning Lan.

In addition to being the ace artist of Starlight Entertainment, Sui Yi is also a true young master with a strong family background, Wang Xu can't beat him, and he is afraid that he will be stubborn and really choose to quit the circle, so he has to take the next step: "Okay, it's okay to be public, We can find a time to sit down with the public relations department and have a good talk, choose the most suitable time to disclose it, and minimize the damage to fans and the impact of public opinion, and it will not benefit anyone if it is released regardless."

Sui Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I know."

Wang Xu explained a few more long-winded words, and asked him to hide it carefully, so that he was careful not to be photographed by the paparazzi, and Sui Yi responded one by one.

After hanging up the phone and looking back, Ning Lan had already finished drying the last piece of clothing. The flower was fixed on the clothesline by him with a clip. The petals fluttered in the wind, and when he approached, he could smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers.

Ning Lan bowed and picked up the empty basin and entered the room. Sui Yi followed behind and asked, "Have you eaten breakfast?"

"ate."

Putting the basin under the sink, Ning Lan turned on the faucet to wash her hands. Sui Yi glanced at the two buns left by the kitchen stove, his eagerness was beyond words.

After Ning Lan washed her hands, she went back to the room to take medicine, and Sui Yi followed; she went to the living room to sweep the floor, and Sui Yi followed; she went to the small vegetable garden in the front yard to pick green onions, and Sui Yi continued to follow, and asked, "Is this garlic? "

Ning Lan was defeated by him, and compromisingly warmed the two buns for him to eat, hoping that he would leave soon after eating, otherwise, let alone Granny Zhang, he might not be able to resist the urge to call the police.

Just after the steamed buns were put into the steamer, Lu Binghua's heart-breaking howl suddenly came from outside: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Brother Ningning, come out soon, mother-in-law fainted!"

There was only one small clinic on Quanxi Street, Sui Yi carried Granny Zhang on his back, and Ning Lan ran behind him. The young man walked fast, and in less than ten minutes, the old man was placed flat on the cot in the clinic.

The weather was hot, and it was a period of high incidence of heat stroke and fever, and the consultation room was crowded with people. The doctor came to listen to the heartbeat, took the temperature, and asked the patient if he had any abnormal symptoms recently. After Ning Lan answered negatively, he brought a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and then took a blood test.

Ning Lan squeezed her mother-in-law's mouth and gave her some medicine. My mother-in-law is usually very picky when she eats, but now the smell of Huoxiangzhengqi water can't wake her up.

Sui Yi helped to get the test results.

"The doctor said that my mother-in-law is old and her immune system is weak, so she is recommended to take her to a large hospital for a comprehensive physical examination." Seeing Ning Lan's tense expression, Sui Yi raised his hand and patted his back to help him relax, "Don't worry, we Going right now."

After many years, Ning Lan got into Sui Yi's car again. He sat in the back row with his mother-in-law. After being reminded by Sui Yi, he called Lu Binghua on the way to help him close the store.

Sui Yi brought them to a private hospital with leading medical conditions in the city. Ning Lan was a little hesitant at first, but then she thought that the public hospital was overcrowded and she might not know when they would be lined up. She still gritted her teeth and put her mother-in-law on a stretcher.

As soon as the patient moved in, various examinations were arranged, accompanied by medical staff throughout the process.

Sui Yi placed Ning Lan in the waiting room, poured him a glass of water, and reassured him: "The medical equipment here is advanced, and the medical staff are professional. Don't worry, my mother-in-law will get the best treatment here."

Ning Lan nodded and sat down slowly with the cup in her hand.

At noon, my mother-in-law woke up leisurely, opened her eyes and saw the high-end facilities in the ward. She had to leave the hospital and go home. After hearing that Ning Lan had paid today's money, she lay down reluctantly, and muttered, "We'll just go home at night. Let's go, I won't hold back tomorrow."

In the afternoon, my mother-in-law slept again. Sui Yi brought Ning Lan lunch. Seeing that he did not have the laboratory report in his hand, Ning Lan asked nervously, "How is the result? Is there anything wrong?"

Sui Yi said: "You eat first, then take a nap with your mother-in-law. I'll wait there and let you know as soon as I get the results, okay?"

Ning Lan was appeased by his words. The temperature in the ward was suitable. He fell asleep on his stomach for a while. When he woke up, he found that he was covered with a blanket, and Sui Yi was sitting on the chair next to him in a trance.

Ning Lan rarely sees Sui Yi in a daze, and the anxiety in her heart grows stronger, and her voice trembles a little: "Mother... What's wrong with mother-in-law?"

Sui Yi took his hand and led him to the corridor outside the ward. Ning Lan was a little afraid to listen to the next words, but he was her mother-in-law's only relative, so he had to listen.

Sui Yi squeezed the palm of his hand and said, "Modern medicine has developed, so don't scare yourself first."

Ning Lan swallowed hard and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"

Sui Yi didn't intend to hide it, looked at him and said, "I'm not sure whether the tumor has spread to the outside of the organs. I have to do a few tests today and tomorrow."

Maybe it was because of mental preparation, Ning Lan just felt a pain in her heart, and then she began to make excuses to question: "No... It's impossible, my mother-in-law is usually in good health, and she rarely even has headaches, how... how can it be? …”

Sui Yi didn't want to comfort him with vague words like "birth, old age, sickness and death, the world is impermanent", so he just clenched his hand and said, "I'll tell you when I see the doctor, everything has a solution."

I saw the doctor in the evening, and the preliminary examination was diagnosed as ovarian cancer.

"This kind of cancer has a higher incidence in postmenopausal nulliparous women. There are few other symptoms in the early stage, and it is easy to be confused with other diseases, so it is difficult to be detected." The doctor said.

"Then... can it still be cured?" Ning Lan asked eagerly.

"Through surgery and chemoradiotherapy, patients can live as long as possible."

The doctor's words have been reserved. The implication is that the disease cannot be eradicated. From now on, Granny Zhang's life will enter the countdown stage.

Ning Lan was stunned for a while, and felt that this question was really funny. Malignant tumor, how can there be a cure

In the evening, Ning Lan was going to go home to get some daily necessities and a change of clothes. Even though everything is in the hospital, my mother-in-law still feels very uncomfortable. She is not used to blowing air conditioners, and she is not used to using humidifiers. The most frequently asked question is "When are we going back?"

"Mother-in-law is not good." Ning Lan held down her restless hand, "I didn't want to see a doctor before, and my mother-in-law always laughed at me about the kid next door who was afraid of getting an injection. Now it's your turn, you can't Double standard."

My mother-in-law hangs out with young people all day, and she also knows the meaning of "double standard", so she lay back in a sullen way: "Well, you can ask the doctor to treat it quickly and prescribe some special medicine. I want to be discharged from the hospital early."

Ning Lan responded with a smile.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital, the smile on her face disappeared. Ning Lan raised her head and stared blankly at the night sky. Sui Yi knew that it was a kind of exhaustion of sadness and despair but resigned to fate.

Sui Yi got out of the car on the way back and bought him a piece of strawberry cake, but Ning Lan didn't refuse, she held it in her hand and stared at it all the way. When the red light stopped at the intersection, Sui Yi leaned over to help him open it, and put the small spoon in his hand, but he refused to eat it.

Back home, Ning Lan took a bag and started packing it.

He was far less quick to organize things than before, and he kept looking back to check what he had put in before halfway through.

Sui Yi went up to help, but Ning Lan didn't want it, so Sui Yi wanted to feed him something, fork the strawberry on the cake and put it to his mouth. After a staggering step, the fork and strawberries fell to the ground.

The air was still for a few seconds, and Ning Lan took a few deep breaths and said, "Let's go, thank you for your help today, I will ask Fang Yu to bring you the medical expenses."

With that said, he turned around and went to the room, took out the piano case, opened it and put it in front of Sui Yi: "I broke your bow. If you still need it, I can pay you an identical one."

Sui Yi looked down at the broken bow, the broken part was wrapped with tape several times, it looked a bit funny, just like the broken beads were forcibly fixed with metal, hiding something like stealing bells.

"Exactly the same?" Sui Yi repeated the word, and seemed to be talking to himself, "How can there be two identical bows in the world?"

This bow is engraved with Ning Lan's unspoken love, which is unique and irreplaceable to him. Now that the bow is broken, does it mean that Ning Lan's love for him is gone

Sui Yi couldn't help thinking about it, his breathing was stagnant, and his heart was flustered and depressed.

Before he could stabilize his mind, Ning Lan asked quietly, "Then, are there two identical people in the world?"

Sui Yi raised his head and looked at him hesitantly.

"I'm Zhang Ning now, not Ning Lan." Ning Lan was so calm as if he was telling someone else's story, and when he got closer, he could see the uneven cracks in his eyes, "Why did I change my name, why did I leave, don't you know? ?"

"Lanlan..."

Sui Yi called him softly and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Lan: "Because it's good to be anyone, I don't want to be Ning Lan. As long as I don't call Ning Lan, you can cry as much as you want, laugh as you want, no one Step on me indiscriminately, scold me, and no one doubts me and drives me away."

After self-questioning and self-answering, his eyes gradually became slack, as if he was caught in a predicament of self-doubt, and he said blankly: "... In addition to having undeserved expectations, what have I done wrong? You tell me, I have done something wrong. what?"

At the end, there was a weak choking in his voice.

Over the years, he has never complained about himself, his family didn't like him, his fans boycotted him, and those who liked also regarded him like a mustard, and he all came over him.

People will die if they don't drink water, so what if there is no so-called love

He admitted that he was selfish, and that his goodness to Granny Zhang was also mixed with other purposes. He was willing to give anything for that little reward. But why did God take it back cruelly after he finally got a little warmth

Wasn't he getting enough retribution

"You are wrong, you are indeed wrong." Sui Yishen spoke suddenly, took a deep breath, and said in a firm voice, "You gave all your enthusiasm to someone who is not worthy, your mistake is to love others, but not yourself. "

Ning Lan was stunned by his words, and watched him step by step in a daze. Except for the trembling of her lips, she forgot any other reaction.

Sui Yi raised his hand, his warm palm gently supported the back of his neck, and stared at him unobstructed: "You are so cruel to yourself, why aren't you being cruel to those who love you? It's okay if the bow is broken, or , don't love others anymore, be kind to yourself. If you feel that it's not enough, it's not equal enough... "

Having said that, Sui Yi took Ning Lan's hand and put it on his undulating left chest: "From now on, don't love me anymore, it's enough that I love you. You take all my love. Go, then take revenge on me, scold me, trample me, and let me pay back the pain you have endured."

The beating heart beat like a drum in the palm of his hand. Ning Lan looked at the two little self in Sui Yi's eyes and felt extremely frightened. .

"I don't, I don't want to..."

He kept shrinking back, but his shoulder was pressed by Sui Yi's other arm, and he was pressed into his arms.

Sui Yi almost gritted his teeth, his strong eyebrows also carried some fierce evil spirits, and his lower jaw was stretched into a cold line because of too much force.

He didn't want Ning Lan to see him like this again. There used to be no weakness in the past, but now the weakness is in his arms, and it will shatter when touched. He is afraid of scaring him.

Sui Yi stroked Ning Lan's soft hair, listened to his chaotic breathing, and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible: "If you don't want to be Ning Lan, then don't be Ning Lan. It's okay if you don't love me, or you don't know me, I can get revenge... I can do whatever I want."

Feeling that Ning Lan's body was slowly relaxing in his arms, she let out a soft whimper like a kitten, Sui Yi also miraculously relaxed, the corners of her mouth twitched upward, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will always be with you."
