Xu's mother was taken aback for a moment, and finally ended the topic with a sigh.
After Xu Sui helped her pack her things, he took her to the high-speed rail station in person, and promised again and again that he would definitely go back before the Chinese New Year.
After Xu Sui persuaded Xu's mother to go back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then received a call from Sheng Nanzhou on the way back.
Not knowing what the other party said, Xu Sui nodded, smiled with tears in his eyes, and replied: "Okay."
As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone's faces are filled with anticipation and excited smiles, except the hospital.
Gray walls, cold white woven lamps, withered and curled leaves on the table.
The hospital repeats the sound of loved ones leaving and crying and patients screaming in pain every day.
"There's nothing new under the sun."
Fortunately, the day before the New Year's Eve was approaching, the sun came out, and the sunlight came in, warming people's bodies.
It seems to give people hope.
Xu Sui accompanied Hu Qianxi in the ward, taking care of her and chatting with her.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed and scrolling through Weibo, she suddenly showed Hu Qianxi a group of photos of popular girlfriends on Weibo, and said, "Xixi, we don't seem to have taken this kind of photos before, I really want to take a picture with you." Group."
Hu Qianxi's eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again: "But I'm so ugly now, we'll take pictures after I get better!"
"Who said that you are still very beautiful now," Xu Sui patted her on the head and said, "A colleague from our department wanted to ask me for your phone number two days ago."
"I didn't give it, mainly because he is not as handsome as Sheng Nanzhou." Xu Sui added.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Taking advantage of the sunny day today, I'll put on your makeup now. Let's take a photo in the garden downstairs of the hospital. It's beautiful there." Xu Sui encouraged her, ticking her little finger with his index finger, "Have you not dressed beautifully for a long time? clothes."
"Hey, my heart beats when you say that."
Xu Sui acted immediately. She brought her makeup bag from the office and carefully put on Hu Qianxi's makeup.
After putting on makeup, a woman with bright eyes and bright and beautiful face appeared in the mirror.
Xu Sui helped Hu Qianxi go to the bathroom to change clothes. Princess Xixi was dumbfounded when she got her clothes, and opened her eyes like glass beads:
"Song Guang's high school uniform?"
"That's right, I'll wear the school uniform in the sky to accompany you, because I miss the campus a little bit recently." Xu Sui explained.
Hu Qianxi rubbed her fingertips on the word "Song Guang" embroidered on the neckline of her school uniform, she smiled unconsciously, and her voice became more energetic:
"Wear it, wear it! I'm not afraid of people saying I'm pretending to be tender."
After Xu Sui and Hu Qianxi changed their school uniforms, they held hands and smiled at each other.
Hu Qianxi was obviously in a much better mood. When she was about to go out, Xu Sui held her back: "Hey, I almost have something left."
"what?"
Xu entourage took out two candy-colored hairpins from his pocket, and pinned them lightly on the right side of Hu Qianxi's hair.
She has short hair. Looking at it this way, she is really a high school student worthy of the name.
Xu Sui dragged Hu Qianxi downstairs, and the two walked downstairs to the garden. She glanced casually and said, "Xixi, the background here is a bit messy. Let's go to the green grass slope over there."
"Sure."
The two walked hand in hand to the west grass slope on the east side, and the scene seen in the distance gradually enlarged to the front, as clear as a mirror that has been wiped away with water mist.
The snow has just melted, the lawn is wet, and there is a path full of sunflowers along the road, and at the end there is a white stage full of flowers.
"Wow, didn't we, did we mess into someone else's marriage proposal?" Hu Qianxi pulled Xu Sui, her tone a little nervous, "Hurry up and leave."
But Hu Qianxi couldn't move Xu Sui no matter what, until a familiar deep voice called her: "Xixi."
Hu Qianxi looked up subconsciously. Sheng Nanzhou was wearing a neat tuxedo, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a red tie at the neckline.
Like a knight who fell from the sky.
The man who had promised to marry her at the age of twelve.
What Sheng Nanzhou held in her hand was not a delicate rose, nor a fresh daisy, nor a touching tulip, but her favorite sunflower.
"Miss Hu Qianxi, would you like to marry me? Whether I am tall, short, fat or thin, I don't look like the Kaneshiro Takeshi you like," Sheng Nanzhou knelt down on one knee holding the ring, looked up at her, and said slowly, "But For one thing, I will never and will only see you."
At this moment, more and more people gathered on the lawn. Her family, friends, even the attending physician and patients were all present to witness this special marriage proposal.
"Marry him! Marry him!"
"Xixi, you have to pity Lao Sheng, take him as a bachelor!"
A man laughed and shouted, "If you don't marry me, I will!"
The audience roared with laughter, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
The tears in Hu Qianxi's eyes fell out, and she spoke twitchingly, "You are so annoying, the makeup I put on so hard, the eyeliner... are all dizzy."
Hu Qianxi didn't say anything, and stretched out her hand under his nervous eyes and anticipation. There were screams and cheers all around, and Sheng Nanzhou smiled and put the ring on her.
The two kissed in the sun, Hu Qianxi surrounded him and whispered:
"Brother Nanzhou, I actually have a little secret that I didn't tell you."
"What?"
"Forget it, let's talk again when we have a chance."
Green lawn, sunshine, sunflowers, rings, the weather is just right, and so is my heart that likes you.
The sunlight was so dazzling that Xu Sui saw that the scene in front of him was blurry and dazzling.
She covered her eyes and forced back her tears. Zhou Jingze embraced her, pressed her shoulders comfortingly with his fingers, and lowered his voice:
"You should be happy for her."
After finishing Hu Qianxi's business, Xu Sui packed up his things and went back to Li Ying for the New Year.
Zhou Jingze sent her to the high-speed rail station and told her to send him a message when she arrived.
Xu Sui nodded in a daze, and said goodbye, turned around and was about to leave, but the man grabbed her, and Xu Sui was forced to fall into his arms.
Zhou Jingze raised his hand to pinch her chin, tilted his head and kissed her, opened his lips and teeth, and sucked the tip of her tongue, so that his voice was a bit indistinct:
"Did you forget something?"
At the respective stations, Zhou Jingze dragged her and kissed her for five minutes, and finally made a mark on the back of her fair neck before letting her go.
Xu Sui's face was scalded badly, and he fled towards the security checkpoint as if he was flying after he was free.
After returning to Li Ying, before Xu Sui could reach the door, he saw grandma standing at the door from a distance, hunched over and waiting for her.
Xu Sui dragged the suitcase and quickened his pace, walked up to the old man, held her hand, and said, "Grandma! Why don't you wait inside, it's cold outside."
"I just came out not long ago." Grandma patted her hand with a smile.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt warm, and Mother Xu was coming out of the kitchen with dishes, and said, "Go and wash your hands, you can eat."
Xu Sui immediately got into the kitchen. Just as she turned on the faucet, Xu's mother patted her on the back and said, "The water is cold, go wash it over there."
"Hee, a child with a mother is like a treasure." Xu Sui walked to the other side, unscrewed the hot water and said coquettishly.
Mother Xu smiled and continued to bring out the dishes.
On the night of the New Year's Eve, there was a sketch on the TV, and the family sat around to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
Everyone chatted about family affairs while eating, Xu's mother didn't mention what happened that day, and chatted happily with her, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.
After eating, Xu Sui gave his mother and grandma two thick red envelopes and New Year's gifts.
Unexpectedly, Xu's mother stretched out her hand to her, Xu Sui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The money is not enough."
"Give me the phone." Mother Xu said.
Xu Suiyun handed over the mobile phone in a foggy manner, but after Xu's mother got the mobile phone, she stood up and announced: "From today on, your mobile phone will be confiscated, and you are not allowed to contact him again."
After finishing speaking, I saw Xu Sui's reaction and walked straight into the room with her mobile phone.
Xu Sui really wanted to argue with her, but the sound of fireworks from the Spring Festival Gala on TV reminded her.
Today is new year.
Xu Sui decided to put up with it, she didn't want to quarrel with her family when the Chinese New Year was over.
But when it was nearly twelve o'clock, Xu Sui couldn't hold back, and sneaked into grandma's room to send Zhou Jingze a text message of New Year's greetings.
In the end, I deliberately brought up the past in a text message: [A number that may still be misidentified by you.]
Not long after, the phone screen lit up, and Zhou Jingze replied:
[It's unlikely to be wrong, I've already memorized the number after the freshman incident. Another: This message was sent while kneeling.]
[Happy New Year, my one and only.]
When Xu Sui received this text message, the corners of his lips turned up unconsciously, and he replied calmly:
[Then I can't help but wish you a happy new year.]
It's a pity that Zhou Jingze only stayed in Beijing for two and a half days for the Chinese New Year before he was urgently called back by the first rescue team.
In addition, Xu Sui's mobile phone was confiscated, and she lived under the supervision of Xu's mother all the time.
Afterwards, it was difficult to get in touch with Zhou Jingze.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the family ate at the dining table, and a news was being broadcast in front of the TV. The host read the script and said: On the evening of February 17, Beijing Airlines flight G7085 from Huaining to Duzhou City, At 7:10 in the evening, due to the weather, an air crash occurred due to a lightning strike. According to the investigation results, two people were killed and five people were seriously injured. Captain Zhang Chaoming was heroic when the plane landed...
With a "slap", the chopsticks that Xu Sui was holding fell to the ground.
Li Ying's superstitious custom is to drop chopsticks during the New Year, which is a very unlucky sign.
Xu's mother looked at the news, and turned her eyes away, her voice was still gentle, but there was a needle hidden in it:
"Did you see that, if something happens to him in the future, you have no guarantee at all."
Xu Sui's heart trembled before Mother Xu finished the second half of her sentence. She rushed into her mother's room and retrieved her mobile phone, turned it on, and called Zhou Jingze again.
The phone was dialed, and the longer the infinite and mechanical beep sounded, the more Xu Sui's heart hung in his chest.
Can I take a call
Mother Xu came in and looked at her with folded arms: "What are you doing?"
"I want to make sure he—"
The words "Is there anything wrong" were still stuck in his throat, and were interrupted by Xu's mother.
Xu's mother snatched her mobile phone away. At this time, the phone was finally connected, and a clear male voice "Hello".
Mother Xu hung up without hesitation, her voice was sharp:
"Yiyi, when did you become so disobedient, are you willing to see me die?"
Xu's mother restricted her from contacting Zhou Jingze in the past few days, and from time to time insinuated that this man could not bring her happiness, and forcibly instilling stability in her is the right choice.
He snatched her cell phone and hung up Zhou Jingze's call.
All of this made Xu Sui finally explode.
"Why do you have to be so strong? I just like someone, don't I even have the right to be with him?" Xu Sui couldn't control his emotions, and tears fell.
Mother Xu didn't expect her well-behaved daughter to be angry, but she still refused to take a step back:
"You are not suitable, you have to trust those who have experienced it, when I married your father, I lived in fear all day long..."
"What does it mean to be appropriate?" Xu Sui suddenly interrupted her, she collapsed, and finally couldn't hold back a series of heavy words.
"If you are not happy, does it mean that I am not happy?"
"I don't want to listen to you anymore, I really feel a little suffocated." Xu Sui's voice choked, and he turned around.
Mother Xu pointed at her in a daze, "You—" unable to utter a complete sentence, and then gasped violently, unable to breathe, one of them couldn't control herself, and fell straight to the side.
Xu Suigang turned around, turned his head immediately after hearing the sound, saw his mother lying on the ground, and shouted in panic: "Mom—"
In the end, Xu hurriedly sent Xu's mother to the hospital.
The fall of Xu's mother triggered a series of old problems accumulated over the years.
She was sent to the operating room.
Xu Sui sat on the bench outside the operating room, belatedly feeling scared.
If something goes wrong with my mother... If, Xu Sui didn't dare to think about it any further.
Why is she going to talk back and get angry with her mother. Xu's mother, under the pressure of her natal family since she was a child, resolutely refused to remarry for the sake of her daughter's upbringing in a good environment. During this period, she had to endure the ridicule of her neighbors as a widow from time to time.
Even so, Xu's mother still gritted her teeth and raised her to grow up smoothly by herself, and at the same time shouldered the responsibility of taking care of an old man.
What the hell is she doing
Xu Sui curled up on the chair, hugged his knees with his hands, and put himself into a safe self-protection position, but his palms rested on his kneecaps, shaking non-stop.
She was in a trance when suddenly, a pair of broad palms held her trembling hands with cool hands. His palms were heavy and heavy, but they felt inexplicably relieved.
Xu Sui slowly raised his eyes, and met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
Zhou Jingze was wearing a black jacket with stern eyes and sharp outlines. He squatted halfway in front of Xu Sui and held her hand. A drop of transparent snow particles fell on the collar between the two of them and melted instantly.
Point is not tears, or snow.
"Why are you here?" Xu Suiyi opened his mouth and found that his throat was extremely dry.
"I'm on vacation today. I just planned to take a look. When you called me, I was on the plane. When I got off the plane and heard the dispute on the phone, I rushed over." Zhou Jingze rubbed her palms, spreading warmth a little bit. Come.
He smiled, pinched Xu Sui's face, and asked, "Why are you so flustered about doing things? I rushed to your house, and grandma is still at home alone."
"Ah? I'm now—" Xu Sui came to his senses.
Zhou Jingze clamped her knuckles that were about to move with his thumbs, and said, "I've settled her down."
With a bang, the door of the operating room opened, and a nurse, wearing blood-stained gloves, shouted, "The patient needs plasma exchange. Who has blood type B?"
Xu Suigang wanted to move, Zhou Jingze held her down, turned his head to the nurse and said:
"I am."
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Jingze came back after drawing blood, and a black shadow fell beside Xu Sui. He sat beside her, raised his arms to hug her shoulders, closed his eyes, leaned his head against the cold wall, and waited for the result with her .
Xu Sui leaned on Zhou Jingze's strong and gnarled arm, and caught a glimpse of a small hole in his wrist, with blue blood vessels protruding, surrounded by bruises, and spots of blood still came out.
In the middle of the night, the doctor came out of the operating room, and they reported that he was safe, and told Xu Sui not to make the patient emotional again, pay attention to take care of his body, and stay in the hospital for observation for half a month.
Xu Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and finally she urged Zhou Jingze to get a room in the hotel to rest.
Zhou Jingze refused and stayed with her. The two sat on the bench and slept all night under their coats.
When it was just dawn, a sharp mobile phone ringing woke them up.
Zhou Jingze stayed up all night, his face was pale and sleepy, his eyes were dark blue.
He looked at the caller ID on his phone, and Xu Sui looked over.
It's the number of the first rescue team.
Zhou Jingze didn't answer it and let it ring.
"We—" Xu Sui swallowed slowly, there was no sound in his throat for a long time, hoarse and interfering.
Zhou Jingze looked at her, his voice was a little heavy, his Adam's apple rolled slowly, and he said word by word, "We won't break up."
