After arranging the private jet, applying for the route, and adjusting the schedule, Yu Nian followed Xie You to the airport at 7:00 the next morning. In the weather at the end of October, the temperature has dropped significantly, the sky has not yet fully brightened, and the wind is blowing on the face with a faint chill.
Yu Nian wore a black mask and peaked cap, staring at the flashing signal lights on the runway in a daze.
Xie You raised his hand and pulled him into his arms, blocking the wind, and touched his face again, "Niannian, is it cold?"
Shaking his head, Yu Nian leaned into Xie You's arms, "It's not cold, I'm wearing two sweaters." He showed his fragility unabashedly, and whispered, "But... I'm scared, my fingertips are always Shaking uncontrollably."
Holding Yu Nian's cold hand, putting it into his pocket, Xie You said, "If we are afraid, we will go and see for ourselves, blindly guessing will only increase the fear." He looked into Yu Nian's eyes, and his voice seemed to contain the fear The power to settle down, "No matter when, I am always here."
Leaning on Xie You's shoulder, Yu Nian took a deep breath of the cedar scent on the other person, feeling a little more courageous in his heart.
The plane left the ground, and the high-rise buildings and neon lights turned into tiny dots that could no longer be seen clearly. The clouds covered everything, and everything was a vast expanse. Yu didn't sleep much the night before, and recorded songs until after two o'clock in the morning. Not long after he closed his eyes, he got up to pack his luggage—it seemed that he always had to find something to do to suppress his uneasiness.
Xie You brought three assistants with him, and started to deal with the work after the flight was stable. Yu Nian lay on Xie You's lap with his eyes closed. Long-distance flights are always hard to bear, and I really can't sleep. Yu Nian found another musical that lasted more than three hours to watch, but until the end, I didn't know what kind of story it was telling.
Finally, when the plane landed, it was noon in Switzerland, and the sun was dazzlingly bright. Arriving at the place where He Xiao was by car, Luisen waited at the gate himself. Seeing Yu Nian, he put his hands in front of him and respectfully said, "Little Master, Mr. Xie, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, thank you for your hard work."
Follow Luisen and walk in. They are located in a small town on the outskirts of the city. It occupies a large area, and the roadside is lush with flowers and leaves. When you look up, you can see verdant forests and clear lakes in the distance, as well as The beautiful curves of the mountains in the distance.
At the end of the road is a very modern white rectangular building with dark glass windows reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. After entering the door, the whole interior is black and white. A group of people went up to the second floor, and there was a huge full-length portrait hanging on the wall on one side of the corridor. Yu Nian stopped in his tracks, stunned, "This is—"
"This is Miss Tayue. Mister spent more than three months painting it when she was in good spirits." Luisen also raised his head with Yu Nian and Xie You, looking at the painting in front of him, "But Mister never draws Miss Tayue. He always said that his skills were poor and he couldn't draw Miss Tayue's beauty, so this painting is only a side view. Of course, what Mister painted is more of a back view."
When Yu Nian entered the room where He Xiao was, he realized what Luisen meant by "more of a back view". On the wall facing the hospital bed, there are several paintings, large and small, all showing the back of the same person. Missing and admiration are like water, and will drip from those paintings in the next second.
Luisen stood by the bed and whispered, "Sir, the young master and Mr. Xie are here."
The slack eyelids trembled, He Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Yu Nian, a smile spread in his eyes, and his voice was weak and loud, "Are you tired?"
On the way here, Yu Nian made countless psychological preparations. He originally thought that it was enough to face various situations and scenarios. But at this moment, he realized that all his assumptions and preparations had disappeared in a second, and the sadness spreading from the apex of his heart made it difficult for him to resist.
He Xiao didn't hear the answer, and there was a smile in his voice, "Come here and see, is the little crying bag crying again?" He took a breath and continued, "Don't think I don't know, before, the video After hanging up, you must have secretly wiped your tears, right?"
Yu Nian answered in a hoarse voice, "How do you know everything?"
He Xiao looked over, and said gently, "Because we, Niannian, are good children with a soft heart."
Seeing He Xiao raised his hand tremblingly, Yu Nian hurried over and took his hand.
He Xiao's voice was weak, "At first, I thought that it would be best to leave quietly. I didn't want you to see me lying on the bed, unable to escape death. I have been intriguing all my life, ambitious, and expanding my career. The territory has been down and down, and it has been brilliant. I used to think that I have no regrets except your mother. But now, my biggest regret is that I can't live a few more years, and I can't stay with you longer."
Yu Nian shook his head, and said softly, "No, I'm already very satisfied if you appear in my life."
He Xiao tightened his grip, "You don't blame me... you blame me for not showing up for more than 20 years, and you don't blame me for leaving early and leaving you alone?"
Shaking his head again, Yu Nian replied, "I'm not greedy."
With a sound of "Oh", He Xiao slowly closed his eyes, and He Xiao fell into a coma again.
Carefully putting the opponent's hand into the quilt, Yu Nian followed Louison out of the ward.
He Xiao is not awake for a long time every day, and lawyers or subordinates will come in and out of the ward from time to time. Yu Nian didn't pay attention to these things, and found that what He Xiao likes most is when he can accompany He Xiao by the bed after hearing him talk about the past, he will easily chat about these topics.
"When I was young, my grandmother planted a lot of flowers in the yard, and I liked crabapple the most. I learned to draw with my grandfather, and the first thing I drew was crabapple flowers. Once I had a nightmare in the middle of the night, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep. When I dozed off, my grandpa didn’t call me when he found out, and when we had lunch at noon, his face was covered with a lot of paint. Grandpa also laughed at me, saying that I used my own face as a drawing paper, which was too sacrificing.”
He Xiao laughed.
Yu Nian was peeling grapes dexterously in his hands, and said in a light voice, "I have been living with my grandpa and grandma in the Sining mansion. Yes. Grandpa was not unhappy. On the contrary, he said that the rain that fell into the house has a fate with our family. Otherwise, there are billions of raindrops, and only these rains just fell in.
At that time, I was still young, and I quietly got up in the middle of the night, squatted there to watch the miraculous "Fated Rain", and fell asleep sitting on the floor without watching it for a while. The next day, I caught a cold and was laughed at by my grandfather for a long time. "
Seeing the smile in He Xiao's eyes, Yu Nian deliberately said, "You laugh at me too!"
He Xiao quickly pretended to be serious, "Well, I didn't laugh, it's because I read it wrong every year."
Blinking, Yu Nian smiled and said, "Well, well, I was wrong." He took the peeled grapes into his mouth, swallowed them, and then said softly, "I understand your persistence and thoughts, but I'm sorry For me, I still want to see you. At least," he looked into He Xiao's eyes, "at least one day in the future, when I recall you, I won't just recall one image in the video."
He Xiao nodded, "Okay," he said with mixed emotions in his eyes, "You are very similar to your mother, just as stubborn."
Yu Nian frowned, "Well, it seems to be hereditary."
After He Xiao fell asleep, Yu Nian stepped on the carpet and walked out of the ward lightly. Seeing Luisen waiting at the door, Yu Nian whispered, "I've fallen asleep."
There was relief in Luisen's eyes, "After you came, my husband's mood has improved a lot. My husband has always been more rational than emotional, and the decisions he made cannot be refuted by others, but for your coming, sir is really very happy."
"It's what I should do." Through the door of the ward, Yu Nian said hesitantly with worry on his brows, "These two days... his spirit has become worse."
"Yeah." Louison straightened his sleeves, which hadn't even had a single wrinkle, as if he was trying to adjust his mood, and then said after a while, "The doctor said that it happened during this period of time. Mr. also noticed it himself, so he said in the Try to arrange things properly during the short waking hours."
Seeing that Yu Nian did not speak, Louison comforted him, "Mr. has been on the sick bed for many years, and he has long been indifferent to life and death, so he can face it calmly. It is because I know of your existence, young master, that I am a little more unwilling. But fate will not People's dissatisfaction stops the pace and progress, doesn't it?"
Yu Nian took a deep breath, trying not to think too far, "I went to the yard to pick some flowers, I just promised to bring back the blooming flowers for him to see."
However, the pace of fate is much faster than Yu Nian predicted. During dinner, Luisen came to Yu Nian suddenly and said that Mr. was not well. Yu Nian hurriedly got up and went upstairs. When he stepped on the stairs, he felt unsteady and almost fell down.
Xie You stretched out his hand from the side, and held his arm firmly. Only then did Yu Nian realize that his legs were weak and he had no strength at all. Tightening his five fingers, he looked at Xie You hastily, opened his mouth to ask, but couldn't utter a word.
Kissing Yu Nian's forehead quickly, Xie You said comfortingly, "Nian Nian, don't be afraid."
In the ward converted from a bedroom, medical staff were rushing in and out, and the sound of messy footsteps pierced people's hearts like steel needles. Yu Nian stood by Xie You, staring at the situation inside without blinking.
I don't know how long it took before the attending doctor came out and said in English, "I have been rescued."
Luisen subconsciously turned his back and prayed sincerely, his face full of rejoicing.
Not long after, He Xiao woke up. Compared with before, he looks thinner and thinner, and it is difficult to see the shadow of his youth from the outline. Seeing Yu Nian's red eyes, he raised his hand to comfort Yu Nian, but he didn't have enough strength, so he had to give up.
Breathing slowly and steadily, He Xiao paused word by word, "Niannian, promise me, don't be sad for too long, okay?"
Yu Nian had a sore nose and shook his head slightly.
There was a smile in He Xiao's eyes, and he said slowly, "In my life, I was able to meet your mother when I was young, and I was able to find you when I was about to die.
"I once complained about Tayue, and then I blamed myself a thousand times and a hundred times more, and later, I complained about the ups and downs of fate. But recently, I found out that Tayue gave birth to you, and fate made me meet you again, These are all gifts from God."
Yu Nian held He Xiao's skinny hand, nodded heavily, and choked up, "Meeting you is also a gift from heaven."
He Xiao bent his fingers slightly, and tried to hold Yu Nian's hand instead, "I hope you don't blame me, I dare not see you because, ah, I am afraid that if I see you, I will be greedy. I will be greedy for life, I will be afraid of death, and I will not want to face you." For death, I will be reluctant to leave you and this world.”
Yu Nian's voice was soft, "I understand."
He Xiao turned his eyes away and landed on Xie You who was standing behind Yu Nian, with a look of relief, "It's great, we will not be alone in the future."
The energy he had put up was gradually exhausted, He Xiao closed his eyes, "Niannian, you can call me—"
"Father." Yu Nian spoke out before he could finish speaking. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and continued, "My name is Yu Nian, and my father's name is He Xiao. He is a very, very powerful person." Every word was spoken clearly.
After saying these words, it seemed that the deep gully that had been lying in my heart since childhood was finally healed and filled at this moment.
After He Xiao fell asleep again, Yu Nian seemed to be standing on a boulder hanging in the air, feeling uneasy. He didn't go back to the room, but sat down next to Xie You on the sofa in the suite beside him, lost in thought.
In the middle of the night, he dozed off next to Xie You, and suddenly he seemed to realize something, and opened his eyes instantly. After staying there for two seconds, Yu Nian didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and started walking barefoot, faster and faster, and finally ran directly to He Xiao's bed.
Within two seconds, the machine made a piercing sound, and then the doctor rushed in, mixed with hasty words. Yu Nian stood still, a gust of cold air seemed to rise from the soles of his feet, freezing the blood, and his heartbeat continued to speed up, hitting the eardrum hard one after another.
He subconsciously grasped Xie You's hand tightly, and had the illusion that every minute and every second was infinitely stretched.
I don't know how long it took, but the curve of the heartbeat became flat on the display screen of the instrument. The doctor stopped the rescue and withdrew the equipment. In the whole ward, all the sounds were silent and stopped for a moment.
It seemed that there was a hard stone firmly blocked in the lung duct, and breathing became obstructed and laborious, and even the heart on the side also felt a burst of dull pain. Yu Nian took half a step back unconsciously, and the hand hanging by his side began to tremble uncontrollably.
Xie You raised his hand, silently pulling him into his arms. Not long after, warm tears ran through the shirt, scalding the skin of the shoulder like lava.
