The operation is still in progress. Grandma's name is displayed on the screen in front of the waiting area, and the scrolling advertisement is full of Christmas spirit.
It’s the end of another year, and starting from the age of 20, I feel that every time I reach a new year, my mood becomes a little heavier.
Liang Sheng and I sat side by side on the bench, and no one spoke to break the silence.
There was a lot of traffic in the hospital and the air was a little dull. I looked at the advertisement full of New Year's atmosphere and suddenly turned to Liang Sheng and asked: "Does the question you asked me last time still count?"
Liang Sheng had a flash of brightness and said in a deep voice: "Which question?"
"Where I want to be."
He said, as long as it is where I want to go, no matter where, he will take me there.
What if what I want to go to is his heart
Liang Sheng's eyes darkened and he turned his head to look at me, "Of course!"
I rolled my eyes, thinking excitedly, then showed a sly smile, slowly approached his heart with my index finger, and tapped twice: "Here?"
Liang Sheng paused and said word by word: "Here? No need to go, it's already here."
I chuckled, and immediately backed away from the tears that were about to burst out.
He held my finger and suddenly frowned: "Is this your confession to me?"
I blushed. In fact, I didn't think that much at all. Maybe I was provoked by Yuan Yushan and Liu Nanhao, and I wanted to find some comfort from Liang Sheng, so I asked such a question.
I pretended to think deeply, "No, it doesn't count. But you can understand it this way."
Liang Sheng smiled silently, his smile was beautiful, as warm as the spring breeze, as gentle as the summer rain, as clear as the autumn dew, and as fascinating as the winter snow.
His shoulders are very broad, and leaning on them, your heart, no matter how turbulent, is, slowly calms down.
I thought that everything would be over after Yuan Yushan and Liu Nanhao left, but I didn't expect that they left a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket in grandma's ward. There is also a note inside, with Yuan Yushan's handwriting on it: "Grandma, I came to see you. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to see you in person. Shanshan just wants to say that you will always be my grandma."
When I saw that note, I felt as if I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.
What does she, Yuan Yushan, want, her boyfriend has been given to her, so why does she want to interfere in my life.
Grandma took a sip of tea and fell asleep after coming out of the anesthetic testing room. When Xuanxuan and Chu Jin came to visit the patient, they couldn't stay in the ward for too long. I had no choice but to go downstairs to the coffee bar with them and sit quietly and chat.
Xuanxuan can always see my little emotions at a glance: "Yanyan, grandma's surgery went well, didn't it? Why are you still unhappy?"
Chu Jin joked: "Did Boss Liang bully you?"
I shook my head, looked at Liang Sheng and said, "How could he bully me? I'm not unhappy. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and was a little tired."
I said something perfunctory, but Chu Jin showed an evil smile: "Didn't you sleep well last night? Then Boss Liang bullied you."
"Chu Jin!" Liang Sheng said with a serious face. He didn't seem to like Chu Jin making fun of us.
Not to mention it was him, I was also a little uncomfortable. After all, we haven't reached that stage yet, so it was a bit awkward to make such a joke hastily.
Xuanxuan pinched Chu Jin from under the table, and Chu Jin grimaced in pain. Xuanxuan said to me, "Yanyan, since grandma's surgery went so well, why don't we find a place to celebrate."
"Sure." I replied casually. Suddenly I thought of something and asked Xuanxuan, "Do you want to travel?"
Xuanxuan's eyes shone, "Of course I want to, but I just came to the company this year and I don't even have annual leave." She flattened her mouth and suddenly dropped like an eggplant beaten by frost.
I rolled my eyes at her: "You are stupid, are you lying? Isn't it just a word from your family, Chu Jin?"
Xuanxuan immediately became energetic and turned her gaze directly to Chu Jin's face.
Chu Jin spread his hands and said, "I said it's useless. I need the boss to say something."
He pointed at Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng didn't know where his mind was wandering. When we all looked at him, he slowly responded: "How many days will it take?"
Xuanxuan blinked with satisfaction: "Mr. Liang is still considerate. It depends on where we are going for a few days."
Chu Jin's eyes moved on her face, full of love, "Where do you want to go?"
Chu Jin asked the same question as Liang Sheng.
However, Xuanxuan and I gave different answers. Xuanxuan held her chin up and made a longing gesture: "I like the beach, so I want to go to the Maldives, Santorini, or the city, New York, London, Paris, wow, I There are so many places I want to visit, what should I do, Chu Jin?"
She turned around, put on her cute makeup and blinked at Chu Jin. Chu Jin immediately turned his gaze to Liang Sheng's face: "Boss Liang, I heard it's the end of the year and the company is very busy. We can't take that much vacation, right?"
Liang Sheng cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Miss Xuan can take a break as long as she wants."
Xuanxuan and I were about to ask Liang Sheng when he became so generous. He suddenly answered: "Anyway, the salary is deducted from Chu Jin."
The smile on Xuanxuan's mouth suddenly stiffened.
Liang Sheng's eyes were smiling and he was calm: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu's salary can deduct your time to travel around the world."
Chu Jin couldn't stand it any more, and stretched out his hand to surrender: "Brother, dear brother, I will never tease you again, so just spare me. My salary is less than one-tenth of yours, so I have to keep it to marry a wife."
I joked: "Wife-in-law, who are you marrying?"
Xuanxuan stared at Chu Jin with wide eyes, implying that it was her. Chu Jin looked at me and said helplessly, "As long as it's not you, I can marry anyone."
I burst out laughing, and Xuanxuan bit Chu Jin's arm hard, causing Chu Jin to scream in pain.
After a while, Xuanxuan asked me seriously: "Yanyan, where do you want to go? Wherever you go, I will go."
Chu Jin rubbed his arm and rolled his eyes at her: "Are you Ana Shen's follower?"
Xuanxuan nodded quickly, "What, no?"
Chu Jin trembled for a while and immediately moved his chair to the side to distance himself from Xuanxuan.
In fact, this answer had already been in my mind. I thought about it and said, "I want to go to a place with winter."
"A place with winter?" Xuanxuan and Chu Jin both asked, and Liang Sheng also frowned.
I nodded: "I grew up in Jiangcheng. After high school, I came to Haicheng with my mother. Jiangcheng is like spring all year round, and Haicheng is like summer all year round. I have never seen winter. I don't know what ice is and what ice is. For the snow.”
When Liu Nanhao and I broke up, I also felt a cold feeling, but that feeling would disappear with the change of mood. Although it is unforgettable, it will still be blurred after all. What I want to feel is the kind of complete coldness and coldness that will make me no longer afraid of the cold when I get hurt in the future.
Liang Sheng fell into deep thought after listening to my words, but Xuanxuan suddenly burst into laughter: "Yanyan, you are so uninterested. Except for our southern coastal cities in China, going north, every city has winter. There is one in my hometown of Seoul. If you want to see the snow, I can take you there at any time."
I lowered my head and smiled, and replied carelessly: "Okay."
That afternoon, grandma woke up. Except for some minor post-operative adverse reactions, everything went smoothly. The doctor said that I can be discharged from the hospital at any time and recuperate at home.
After my grandma found out, she kept clamoring for her mother to send her back to Jiangcheng, saying that she couldn't worry about the family affairs. In fact, my uncle was taking care of her at home, so there was nothing wrong at all. She just couldn't see hope in me and didn't stay in Haicheng. necessary. What's more, her grandfather's presence is everywhere in her home. Once she leaves that place, she will feel strange and insecure.
But my mother didn’t agree, because my grandma got carsick, and it wasn’t appropriate to run around and be tired right after the surgery, so she forced her to stay at my house for one more night and send her back to Haicheng tomorrow afternoon.
In Jiangcheng, grandma is the boss; in Haicheng, my mother has the final say.
Originally, I wanted to go home to stay with my grandma, but my home was too far away from the company and I had to go to work the next day, so after saying goodbye to my grandma, I reluctantly returned to the rented house.
After taking a shower and tidying up briefly, I lay on the bed with my laptop in my arms and surfed the Internet.
After browsing around the forum for a few times, a message from Director Qin came over.
"Ana Shen." Plus a smiling expression.
When we were just teachers and students at school, he used to call me Yanyan, Xiaoyan, but now we are friends, but we are actually estranged from each other.
I immediately replied: "Director Qin." Plus a cute expression.
Director Qin expressed some concern about my grandma's condition and apologized for not being able to visit her immediately. I replied briefly. After chatting for a while, Director Qin suddenly sent me a serious question.
"How do you and Liang Sheng get along?"
I didn't think too much about it at the time. He was a friend of Liang Sheng and I, so it was normal to be concerned, so I answered frankly.
"That's great. He even sent grandma off with me today."
After waiting for a few seconds, Director Qin came back: "That's good, haha."
I don’t know if I’m being paranoid, but I always feel like there’s something in Director Qin’s words that he hesitates to say.
He asked, "Director Qin, do you have anything to say to me?"
There was a long silence, so long that I thought Director Qin was offline and was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep. The dialog box reopened and a long line of words popped up:
"Shen Yan, although it is not appropriate to say this from my mouth, I am your teacher after all, and I have more responsibilities than them. If you really decide to be with Liang Sheng, then there are some things you must do To understand.”
What he said made all my nerves tense, and I immediately thought of the 'external factors' mentioned by Liang Sheng and Ling Yu's fruitless reason that he refused to say.
His fingertips quickly typed a few words on the keyboard: "What's the matter? It seems serious."
After waiting anxiously, a line of text finally popped up in the dialog box: "This is something I was going to tell you before but was interrupted by Liang Sheng. It's about the person Liang Sheng has been looking for for a long time. I tell you, I don't want you to be unkind. Necessary harm.”
