The two hugged for a long time.

When she let go, Ning Lan turned around first, preventing Sui Yi from looking at her face, stuffed the things she took out into her bag, turned her back to him and said, "I have to go, my mother-in-law is still waiting for me, please Go ahead."

This time, it was Sui Yi's turn to be stunned. He was still waiting for Ning Lan to beat him and scold him. He didn't expect a good chance to ask for forgiveness, so he slipped away from his fingers like this. He didn't even know if Ning Lan had heard him clearly and believed it a little.

Or... don't believe a word

Reality didn't leave him any time to hesitate. Ning Lan quickly packed up and walked out with her bag. Sui Yi stopped him at the door: "I'll take you there. The bus has stopped running so late."

Ning Lan was rarely polite to him, threw the bag in the back seat, and climbed into the passenger seat.

Speechless all the way.

Back in the ward, her mother-in-law was already asleep. Ning Lan squeezed a towel to wipe her face and hands, and then put the things she brought in the cabinet. She simply washed herself, and lay on the sofa next to her to rest.

Sui Yi said in a low voice, "The single ward is equipped with a family lounge, and there are beds in it. You can sleep there."

Ning Lan put the blanket over her body, shook her head and said, "Mother-in-law may wake up at night."

"The night vigil nurse will come after a while, and it is more convenient for her to take care of her mother-in-law's daily life."

Ning Lan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, thinking it made sense. After all, the mother-in-law is a woman, and some things are really not suitable for him to do.

He went in with the blanket in his arms, saw that the bed in the back room was full of quilts and pillows, took the blanket out and put it back on the sofa.

Sui Yi watched Ning Lan climb onto the bed and cover the quilt, standing behind the door and said, "Then... I'll go first."

Naturally, Ning Lan would not keep him. Sui Yi wasn't sure if she heard "um". She wanted to say something, but she was afraid of disturbing the rest of the people in the room, so she closed the door lightly and reluctantly left.

The next day was bright, and Ning Lan got up.

Sure enough, there was a female nurse guarding outside, who was adding water to the thermos, and saw Ning Lan greeting him with a smile. Ning Lan asked her to go to rest, she politely responded, saying that there was a service beside the bed to ring the bell, and she could be called at any time if she needed anything.

Granny Zhang was leaning on the bed and flipping through the newspaper. As soon as the nurse went out, she urged anxiously, "Why didn't you wake me up last night? Let's hurry up and go through the discharge procedures. It's not a big problem. How much does it cost to live here a day?"

Ning Lan didn't want to affect her mother-in-law's mood, and told her that she had high blood pressure. She couldn't tell a lie at the moment, so she said nonsense: "You can live in peace, this hospital is opened by my friend, and it has been discounted in half, and you can still use the medical insurance card. , so it won't be much."

The mother-in-law was suspicious: "I have such a friend, why have I never heard of you?"

Ning Lan smiled: "Didn't the few who came to our house a while ago didn't tell you?"

When it comes to this mother-in-law, she gets angry: "Don't mention those aftermaths, especially the one from yesterday. They make you cry all day long, but don't go with them, you will be bullied when you go back!"

Ning Lan, who had just been provoked to cry last night, touched her sore eyes with a guilty conscience and said, "If you don't go back, where is my mother-in-law and where is I."

Just after feeding my mother-in-law for breakfast, visitors came to the ward.

Lu Hao came in with the flowers, Lu Binghua was behind with the fruit basket and milk, and after putting down the things, he broke a banana and ate it. He was taught by the eldest brother, and he was not ashamed. He said that bananas are easy to rot. to eat.

Grandma Zhang likes to be with young people, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, so she asked Ning Lan to wash the apples for him to eat.

After Ning Lan washed the fruit, she went to talk with Lu Hao in the corridor outside.

After listening to his description of the situation, Lu Hao said, "Our hospital's oncology treatment center is also the top in the country. It's better to transfer my mother-in-law over there. I'll say hello to the people over there, so that I can take care of it."

Ning Lan shook her head: "Thank you, Brother Lu, let's treat it here. My mother-in-law has not been sleeping well recently and needs a quiet environment. Didn't you say that this disease should not be stimulated or in a bad mood. I want my mother-in-law to be in a bad mood. Have fun every day.”

Lu Hao pondered for a moment, and finally agreed with his choice.

"I have one more thing to ask you." Ning Lan said, "Please don't tell other people about the real condition of my mother-in-law. Bingbing also asks you to keep it a secret. The less people know about it, the better."

Lu Hao agreed, seeing Ning Lan's eyes full of exhaustion, but still trying to force a smile in front of her mother-in-law, he couldn't help feeling distressed and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him. Before the raised hand could fall, it was interrupted by a voice.

"Lan Lan."

Sui Yi walked quickly from the east end of the corridor, almost running. When he stood in front of Ning Lan, he would be separated from Lu Hao.

Ning Lan had finished speaking, and without looking at Sui Yi, she turned around and entered the room.

Sui Yi followed behind, wanting to slap his mouth after realizing it. Yesterday, Ning Lan just said that he didn't want to be Ning Lan, but today he foolishly called people's names, and Ning Lan was very polite without shaking his face at him.

When Granny Zhang saw him come in, she directly hung her face, because she was taking care of him yesterday, so she didn't open her mouth to drive people away.

Lu Binghua looked around Sui Yi curiously, Ning Lan went to the bathroom to wash the towels, he followed behind and probed his head and asked, "This is the big star, hey, it's really different from us, just standing there. shiny."

Ning Lan rolled his eyes at him, and when he went out, he couldn't help but glanced at Sui Yi more and more. Sui Yi is wearing ordinary short-sleeved and long trousers today. She is no different from passers-by. The extravagance that can be distinguished from ordinary people is innate and has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Sui Yi noticed Ning Lan's gaze, and smiled when he stole a glance for the last time. Ning Lan looked away in a panic, almost stuffing the half-peeled apple into his mouth.

The brothers of the Lu family sat for a while and then left. The mother-in-law didn't like Sui Yi. No matter how good he showed her hospitality, she raised her nose and eyes, and frequently hinted him to leave quickly.

"Ning Ning, tell me if the current stars are too good to be true, they are similar to those unemployed vagabonds."

No matter how slow Sui Yi was, he knew that he was not welcome, so he got up and said goodbye.

Ning Lan took him to the door: "That's how my mother-in-law is. She has a bad mouth and a good heart. She has no malice."

After all, she was a benefactor who helped a lot and still owed money to others, so Ning Lan felt that she had to be more polite.

But Sui Yi heard something else: "Are you like this too?"

Ning Lan couldn't answer this, he pursed his lips, and just as he was about to go in, Sui Yi stopped him: "Wait a minute."

Ning Lan stood still and waited for him to continue.

Sui Yi seemed to be at a loss for words, and after a while, he said, "In the future... I won't call you by that name in the future. What do you want to hear me call you?"

Ning Lan didn't expect Sui Yi to worry about this for a long time. Seeing his solemn expression, he didn't know how to answer.

Just after heating the milk, Ning Lan's old-fashioned mobile phone in her pocket vibrated, and when she took it out, it was a text message, and the sender number had not yet been stored.]

Sui Yi sat in the rest area of the hospital for an afternoon, really a bit like a homeless tramp.

The phone hadn't rang at all, and Ning Lan didn't reply for a long time. I don't know if I didn't like the title, or if I didn't like him at all.

Either way it's frustrating.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Sui Yi simply lay down and put his arms behind his head as pillows.

I just slept here last night, and I plan to do the same tonight. He was worried about Ning Lan, and didn't want him to know, so he had to resort to this.

Facts have proved that his choice was right. If he hadn't appeared in time this morning, the doctor's salty hands would have reached out to Ning Lan.

In the middle of the night, Sui Yi's arm that had nowhere to rest was squeezed sorely by the metal backrest.

This time, with his face on the ground, Sui Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose and chin, and in a daze, he found that the phone on the ground was on. He was in great spirits, and he answered in a hurry. The person on the other end of the phone probably didn't expect him to answer so quickly, and was startled: "Captain, are you waiting for my call?"

Hearing that it was Lu Xiaochuan, Sui Yi sat up from the ground, his hoarse voice couldn't hide his disappointment: "No, I just woke up."

"Is the hospital still used to sleeping?"

Sui Yi was embarrassed to say that he couldn't even get in, so he pinched his eyebrows and said, "Get used to it."

Lu Xiaochuan laughed: "My baby told me, Ning Lan didn't let you stay in the ward. Let me guess where you are... The hospital bathroom, or on the bench in the lounge, right!"

The lie was exposed in seconds, and Sui Yi had no time to care about his own face, and asked, "Have Fang Yu and Ning Lan been in contact?"

"Yeah, I even made an appointment to see him in the hospital tomorrow."

"Ning Lan agrees?"

"yes."

Sui Yi was stunned and fell silent. Lu Xiaochuan knew everything and took the initiative to ask him what problems he encountered.

Sui Yi thought for a while and said, "He won't let me call his name. I don't know what he likes to hear me call him."

Lu Xiaochuan was stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter: "Captain, aren't you usually very smart? You can't answer such a simple question? My dear, baby, Hani, be careful, wife, daughter-in-law, little girl, it's not Is it up to you to choose?"

Sui Yi frowned: "He doesn't like listening to this."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Fang Yu's voice from the other end of the phone: "Why are you calling me?"

Lu Xiaochuan: "It's okay, I'll call you when I miss you, go take a shower, MUA~"

Sui Yi: "..."

Lu Xiaochuan shook his legs, and the old god said: "Look, they say no, but they actually like you to call him that. Similarly, on the surface, they are shy, but in their hearts they expect you to give it to everyone in front of everyone. He confessed, if you don't believe me, try it?"

Sui Yi tossed and turned on the bench until dawn, feeling that Lu Xiaochuan was unreliable, and picked up the phone with disgust.

Ning Lan didn't look at her mobile phone all morning. He and the nurse pushed her mother-in-law for an examination, and worked out a specific treatment plan with the doctor.

The surgery to remove the lesions was scheduled for next week. Ning Lan told her mother-in-law that she could be discharged from the hospital if she recovered well after the operation. Her mother-in-law also thought that the operation was too late and asked if she could arrange it until the afternoon.

"No." Ning Lan said with a smile, "In the afternoon, some children will come to play with my mother-in-law."

Fang Yu called Ning Lan before he came: "Zhouzhou and Chen Kai have returned from abroad, do you mind if they are with us?"

Mother-in-law likes to play with young people, of course Ning Lan doesn't mind.

Hang up the phone and see two unread text messages on the screen.

Article 1: [Then I will call you "baby", okay?]

Article 2: [If you don't answer, it will be taken as the default]

Also learn to threaten people. Ning Lan bit her lip a little embarrassedly, typed out two words and deleted them, and decided to ignore this mental illness.

Half an hour later, when the four visitors arrived at the ward, Fang Yu rushed up and hugged Ning Lan: "I miss you dear!"

Ning Lan carefully noticed that Fang Yu had lost weight, and asked him if he was too busy with his new album schedule. Fang Yu nodded pitifully and said, "I dream of eating the pickled fish you made."

Ning Lan pinched his face: "I'll make it for you at night."

With four more people in the room, the space suddenly became tight. Lu Xiaozhou pushed Fang Yu away and talked to Ning Lan for a while. Gu Chenkai also came over and asked him how he had been all these years.

"I'm fine." Ning Lan handed the freshly cut apple to Fang Yu, picked up the next one and continued to cut, "It's the two of you, when did you get together?"

The two looked at each other, and Lu Xiaozhou said, "I met them by accident abroad, and we played together occasionally."

Gu Chenkai's originally smiling face instantly sank, and when he stood up, his elbows bent, hitting Lu Xiaozhou's head heavily.

Lu Xiaozhou let out an "Ow", Gu Chenkai glared at him, and said triumphantly, "I bumped into it by accident, I'm sorry."

Ning Lan regarded them as younger brothers, and it was only interesting to see them fighting.

Fang Yu and Lu Xiaochuan were playing cards with their mother-in-law over there. The two of them deliberately lost to their mother-in-law to make her happy. Her mother-in-law laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. Seeing her happy, Ning Lan smiled a little more on her face.

The harmonious atmosphere changed abruptly after Sui Yi stepped into the ward.

Fang Yu and his mother-in-law shared the same hatred and glared at him; Lu Xiaozhou still remembered that this person was not good to Lan Lan, so naturally he couldn't show a good face; Lu Xiaochuan did not dare to speak under pressure; only Gu Chenkai, who did not know the truth, was happy. He jumped up to his cousin: "Brother, why are you here? I came here as soon as I got off the plane, what a coincidence!"

Sui Yi put the things he brought on the table, first took out yesterday's flowers from the vase, replaced them with fresh sunflowers he brought, and then took out another smaller bunch from the bag, roses and lisianthus, Red and white is really nice.

Gu Chenkai said in surprise: "Brother... Did you know that I was coming back and prepared it specially? Hey, we are brothers, why are you being so polite?"

He reached out to pick it up, but Sui Yi withdrew his hand and avoided it: "This is not for you."

Gu Chenkai was puzzled: "Who is that for?"

Sui Yi coughed uncomfortably, looked at Ning Lan and said, "For me... baby."

The air was still for half a minute, and no one in the room said a word.

Lu Xiaochuan held back his laughter until his face turned red, covered his mouth, and his shoulders trembled violently.

Most of the others were in a state of confusion. Gu Chenkai searched for "baby" all over the house, Fang Yu was stunned for a while, his eyes shifted to Ning Lan's face, and then to his stomach. ?"
