Chi Xiuyuan was caught off guard by the sudden shutdown of the train. He was cold all over, and immediately turned on his mobile phone and started searching for other trains. Unfortunately, this time the entire station was shut down, and he didn't know how long it would take to reopen.
With trembling hands, he clicked on one taxi app after another, but unfortunately he either didn't take the order or didn't leave Jiangcheng.
For the first time, he regretted why he came home so late for Chinese New Year. If he could have gone back earlier, maybe his grandma would not have been injured.
He was raised by his grandmother and mother, never saw his father, and there are no pictures of him in the family.
Half a year ago, his mother was in a vegetative state in a car accident and was hospitalized. He spent all the family's money and owed a huge amount of debt. If it wasn't for his grandmother's insistence, he would not have come to Jiangcheng to continue his studies.
Chi Xiuyuan couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to his grandmother.
He stood in the same place without any masters, and suddenly there was a touch of whiteness in his line of sight.
He Shuyu squeezed into his world forcefully. She was wearing a long beige knee-length coat and a pair of white Martin boots.
She lost her usual sophistication, and the chestnut-colored waves that reached the waist were rolled up on the left and right sides of the cheeks, and the pigtails were tied behind the loose hair, which was pretty and youthful.
She stood in front of him, with a height difference between 1.7 and 1.85. Even if she wore Martin boots with heels, she could only see his chin when looking up.
He Shuyu stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder lightly.
"I just checked it. It only takes more than an hour to go from here to Baixian on the highway."
When she spoke, she looked up at Chi Xiuyuan, her dark brown pupils reflected his bewildered face, and when he heard her words, there were ripples in his eyes, and she smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
The gentle voice with magical power calmed Chi Xiuyuan's inner anxiety for no reason. His Adam's apple rolled and his eyes moved down.
The woman's white fingers contrasted sharply with the black down jacket on him, and the dazzling ruby ring on the right index finger was particularly eye-catching.
"Mr. He..." After being overly nervous, his throat was dry and dry, and he couldn't even say a word.
He Shuyu smiled when he always heard him call him that.
"You don't need to call me Mr. He. I prefer to be called by my name. Let's go and go back early to see what's wrong with grandma."
Chi Xiuyuan subconsciously looked at his wrist with his cool fingertips, and suddenly felt that the place where the skin of the two touched was hot, not uncomfortable, but somewhat warm.
He hadn't felt such warmth in a long time.
Chi Xiuyuan was taken back to the car by He Shuyu.
When the car restarted, he came back to his senses, quietly curled his fingers, wanted to touch the wrist that she had held, but held back.
The two had nothing to do with each other, deliberately touching the skin she touched was subtle and inappropriate.
He Shuyu noticed that he was absent-minded and thought he was thinking about home, so he played a soft music and said, "Call back and ask grandma if she was sent to that hospital? Let's go directly."
She didn't ask his parents because she had a bad answer.
It was almost Chinese New Year, and he wanted to delay going home for money, but the neighbor called when his grandmother was injured.
The car hit the high speed all the way, the snow outside the window slowly fell, and when it passed the person in the car, it quickly drifted back, saving a lot of silver.
He said thank you again, took out his mobile phone, and called Zhang Tingting back.
Grandma Chi slipped at the door of her house last night, and a layer of frost formed on the stone steps.
The ankle was a little sore at the time. The old man felt that there was nothing serious and the New Year was coming soon. After wiping the medicine, he didn't take it to heart. When he woke up this morning, the wound was so swollen that he was limping when he walked. did not say.
Zhang Tingting is also studying in the Department of Medicine of Jiangcheng University. When she helped Grandma Chi in the morning, she saw that her foot was injured at a glance. After asking carefully, she felt the bones and found that Grandma Chi might have broken a bone.
When Chi Xiuyuan called back, Grandma Chi had already arrived at the county hospital and was now undergoing an examination, and there was nothing serious about her.
He Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him repeat the situation in a strained voice.
"Don't worry, it'll be alright."
Chi Xiuyuan nodded and said thank you again.
He Shuyu chuckled lightly, "Thank me so much, come back and invite me to dinner."
Chi Xiuyuan looked at her for a while, and then replied in a low voice, "Okay."
He didn't want to explore why He Shuyu was so good to him, maybe he knew the reason, but he just didn't want to reveal the purpose that disgusted him for the time being.
He owes her favor.
I don't know how long it took, the unchanging scenery outside the window disappeared, and after getting off the highway, He Shuyu drove the navigation and went straight to the county hospital.
Bai County is not big, but it has developed well in recent years. High-rise buildings have been erected, and a train station and an airport have been built. After the new year, the county will be divided into a district and merged into the urban area of Rongshi. The whole city is in Replanning.
He Shuyu drove the car into the hospital parking lot, got out of the car and met Chi Xiuyuan's expression of hesitant to speak.
She somewhat understands the child's concerns and knows that he doesn't want to continue to trouble her.
He was very tall, and he was only nineteen years old after the new year.
She joked: "Throw it away when you're done?"
The big boy about 1.8 meters tensed up, opened his mouth and said dryly: "No..."
He wanted to say something else, but didn't know where to start.
He Shuyu stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder again.
"Don't push yourself too hard. Since you already owe me, you might as well owe a little more. It's better than owe someone else, or no one else."
If you owe too much, you won't be able to run away.
"Thank you," he repeated hoarsely.
He Shuyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "I like these two words so much, I'll let you say enough when I look back."
When she was joking, there was also a bit of playboy cynicism. The rather serious atmosphere was inexplicably a bit more ambiguous.
Chi Xiuyuan was at a loss. He clenched his phone tightly, his palms seemed to be sweating, and his lips became dry. After a few seconds, he said dryly, "Mr. He..."
The name that disappeared all the way came out again. The young man frowned and seemed to want to turn around and leave. Because of her care, he couldn't leave as casually as before.
He Shuyu accepted the hint, "Sorry, I was joking."
He was more stubborn than she imagined.
The hospital was deserted years ago, Chi Xiuyuan hurried over after asking about his grandmother's ward.
He Shuyu curled her lips into a smile. After carefully asking about Grandma Chi's situation, she called Secretary Qiu.
After explaining the matter clearly, she walked to the ward.
The door was open, she didn't go in, but leaned against the door, closed her eyes, and listened to the conversation inside.
The ordinary conversation is nothing more than that I care about you and you care about me. He Shuyu listened with relish, and felt that the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren was excellent.
Suddenly, she felt that a ray of eyes fell on her, and she stayed for a while without turning away.
The girl standing not far away was wearing a high ponytail with her bangs aside, wearing a beige down jacket.
He Shuyu somewhat guessed her identity. After looking at each other, the girl was a little embarrassed and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The femininity is excellent, and the dress looks very casual, but full of attention.
Zhang Tingting does not pursue famous brands, but her friends in the same bedroom are very keen on it. She knows all kinds of luxury brands and likes to popularize them. She could vaguely match He Shuyu's dress with the famous brand that her roommates highly praised.
She also felt that He Shuyu looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
There are no other patients in Grandma Chi's ward. There is a person standing here who has never seen it before, so it is no wonder that the little girl is puzzled.
He Shuyu smiled and was about to speak, but the people in the ward looked over.
Only then did Chi Xiuyuan remember that he had forgotten her. He walked over in three steps and asked in a low voice, "He... Would you like to come in and sit?"
He Shuyu folded her arms around her chest and said without turning her head, "You only think of me now?"
She talks casually, like a girlfriend arguing with her boyfriend.
Chi Xiuyuan was embarrassed and a little guilty at the same time. Just as he was about to apologize, he met her sideways gaze, and honestly swallowed the word sorry back into his throat.
He Shuyu threw the bag into his arms and smiled at Zhang Tingting again, "I came with him."
Zhang Tingting couldn't wait to turn her attention to Chi Xiuyuan, who nodded and said, "She is me..."
"Girlfriend." He Shuyu said briskly.
