It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when they left from the Mu's house. The parents of the Mu's family sent the young couple away, standing at the door with a sigh of relief as usual.
"Whoever said that children with autism can't speak, I think our family Xiaochuan can speak very well. I beg us not to get sick again. This sounds more sincere than wishing you good health." Shen Qingyi Listening to it at the time, I just felt warm in my heart.
"That's not it." Thinking of Bai Chuan's serious look just now, Mu Ruozhou also looked relieved. Although their son-in-law is a little dull, but in his heart, he really pretends to be them.
On the way back, Mu Xiaoya was still in a bad mood, she blamed herself and felt uncomfortable. Originally, she was ready to die again due to illness four years later, but because of her mother's sudden old illness, Mu Xiaoya saw a glimmer of hope. She thought that she had caught the signs of hereditary disease in advance and could make a breakthrough, but she didn't want to be empty in the end. In fact, death is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that you think you have survived in a desperate situation, but in the end it is still empty.
Also... When she accompanied her mother to the hospital for an examination in the afternoon, she once hoped that some symptoms could be found in her mother. How could she have such an idea? Mu Xiaoya could hardly forgive herself.
"Don't worry, I begged my parents and they promised to never get sick again." In Bai Chuan's eyes, Mu Xiaoya always had a bright and sunny breath around her, but it seemed that every time she went from When the Mu family came back, the aura on Mu Xiaoya's body would be covered by another kind of haze. And today, it's especially serious.
"Promise?" Mu Xiaoya didn't hear clearly, "What did my parents promise you?"
"They promised me... I won't get sick in the future." Bai Chuan explained, "If they don't get sick, you don't have to worry."
Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, the accelerator under her feet was released, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down, and the white car behind them honked its horn sharply. Mu Xiaoya was frightened back to her senses, and hurriedly depressed the accelerator again to keep the distance.
"It's useful to say yes to something like being sick." When the car became stable again, Mu Xiaoya returned to Bai Chuan with a wry smile.
"It's useful." Bai Chuan began to give an example, "Before my grandma was sick, she was always in the hospital. Later, she promised me that I would not be sick again, so she never went to the hospital again. I didn't go to the hospital until my grandma's time."
Grandma Bai promised Bai Chuan not to get sick, and then she never went to the hospital again
How could Mu Xiaoya believe this kind of thing, she could guess just by thinking about it a little, Grandma Bai must have avoided Bai Chuan and called the doctor home.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Mu Xiaoya understood Bai Chuan's kindness, but she couldn't believe it as much as he did.
"You don't believe it." Mu Xiaoya's aura didn't change, Bai Chuan knew that his comfort didn't work, and Mu Xiaoya didn't believe it.
Bai Chuan, who was not trusted, was a little frustrated, and he was extremely lost. He knows that he is different from others, and also knows that he is separated from the real world. Professor Feng and his grandmother have told him that he should not worry, accept his true self, and let himself integrate bit by bit, without anxiety and irritability. . But sometimes, he still can't control his anxiety. He doesn't just accept the help and comfort of others, he also has people who want to help and comfort him.
But his methods always seem to be wrong and useless. Grandma used to sigh, but now Xiaoya is always depressed.
The two were speechless the whole time, and returned to the community quietly. When they entered the house, the two saw the watch box left by Bai Zheng at the door.
Mu Xiaoya picked it up, glanced at it, and went into the room to send back a message to Bai Zheng, saying that she had it.
"Here, the watch has been repaired." Mu Xiaoya handed the watch to Bai Chuan.
Bai Chuan glanced at the box and asked, "Is it from my eldest brother?"
Mu Xiaoya was taken aback: "How do you know?"
"Four years ago, he also gave me a watch that was two seconds slower per hour." Bai Chuan replied.
"Yes, eldest brother wants you to take it with you." Seeing that Bai Chuan's heart was clear, Mu Xiaoya did not hide it.
Bai Chuan took it, opened the watch box, put on the watch, and then ran up to the attic alone.
Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to follow the past to see what was going on, Bai Zheng's WeChat came back: Did Xiaochuan wear it? Is the time of the watch still slow
Mu Xiaoya replied: Put it on, Xiaochuan didn't say, it should be no problem.
Bai Zheng: That's good, I have already arranged for the company.
Only then did Mu Xiaoya remember the treatment plan she made for Bai Chuan. She hadn't had time to discuss it with Bai Chuan, so she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll tell him later.
Mu Xiaoya turned her head and glanced at the direction of the attic, turned around and stepped on the stairs, and walked up. She originally thought that Bai Chuan would read in the study, but when she looked at the study, it was pitch black and not even the lights were turned on. Mu Xiaoya hesitated for a while, then turned right and went to the outside terrace.
On the dim balcony hanging chair, a dark shadow was curling up at this time, and the dial of the watch was exuding a shimmering gleam. Mu Xiaoya put her hand on the light bulb switch and was about to turn on the light, but was stopped by Bai Chuan: "Don't turn on the light."
Mu Xiaoya withdrew her hand, and after being stunned for a moment, she walked in the direction of Bai Chuan. She stood a step in front of Bai Chuan, but because of the darkness, she could not see the expressions on each other's faces. Mu Xiaoya has seen Bai Chuan many times, happy, shy, angry, anxious, and even indifferent. But these emotions are all single, and she has never been so complex as she has kneaded multiple emotions.
"Unhappy?" Mu Xiaoya asked.
"Um."
"Angry?"
"Um."
"It's still a little frustrating..."
Bai Chuan reacted to the meaning of frustration, and then hummed when he understood.
Mu Xiaoya sat cross-legged across from Bai Chuan, the concrete floor had been exposed to the summer sun all day, and even at this time, there was still a lot of residual temperature.
"I'm not happy either, I'm a little angry, and I'm a little depressed." This time Mu Xiaoya was not in a hurry to solve Bai Chuan, she was in a very bad mood at this time, and she also wanted someone to solve her.
Bai Chuan said nothing, the silence in the air was suffocating.
Don't you understand
"Xiaochuan, I'm a little tired." The darkness makes people vulnerable, and Mu Xiaoya's strong heart is instantly missing a mouthful, "Can you hug me?"
Bai Chuan, who didn't know what to do, seemed to have found a guiding light. He hurriedly stood up from the hanging chair, knelt down beside Mu Xiaoya, and hugged him tightly.
"Xiao Chuan, I'm a little scared." Mu Xiaoya buried her head in Bai Chuan's arms, expressing her fear, "I thought I wouldn't be afraid, but when I think about it, I'm still scared."
"Not afraid, not afraid." Bai Chuan coaxed like a child.
"I'm not strong at all, I'm actually an ostrich, I bury my head desperately, waiting for that day to come."
"When I was in the hospital just now, I even hoped that there would be something wrong with my mother's check-up list, so that I could... I... How could I be like this."
Bai Chuan didn't know how to comfort Mu Xiaoya, who was suddenly out of control, and even couldn't understand the meaning of Mu Xiaoya's words. Don't say anything.
"I'm sorry, I lost control." When she had enough vent, Mu Xiaoya raised her head embarrassedly, she didn't expect that she would lose control in front of Bai Chuan.
"It turns out... Xiaoya also gets sick." Bai Chuan's voice contained a bit of novelty.
sick? Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, but her conclusion was quite appropriate: "Yeah, I also get sick, and suffer from emotional out-of-control disease."
"It does not matter, I do not mind."
"Really, thank you so much." Mu Xiaoya was amused by Bai Chuan's tone of voice that I didn't dislike, and her mood instantly improved.
"Let's get up, the ground is a little hot." Bai Chuan wasn't just hot, his knees were hurting.
The two got up from the ground and sat in the hanging chair where Bai Chuan was sitting just now. This hanging chair was specially chosen by Mu Xiaoya. It was a double hanging chair, so the two of them could sit completely.
"What about you, why are you unhappy, angry, and depressed?" Mu Xiaoya's own emotions recovered, and she still hadn't forgotten Bai Chuan's small emotions.
"I'm fine now."
"Okay? You'll be fine if I get sick once?" This guy isn't gloating.
"No..." Bai Chuan shook his head and explained, "I don't know how to comfort you, so I'm in a bad mood. Now that you're fine, I'll be fine."
"..." Mu Xiaoya raised her head halfway, only Bai Chuan's hazy profile could be seen in the dim environment.
She suddenly realized that this family is not only supported by herself, Bai Chuan is also growing up. Although he is clumsy, he works very hard. Mu Xiaoya didn't want to cry anymore, but her eyes were hot after a while, she turned her head and let herself look into the distance, overlooking the night view of the city from the high top floor. A partner, that's about it, someone who makes you feel like he's supporting you.
Bai Chuan quietly held Mu Xiaoya's hand, and did not disturb Mu Xiaoya's quietness, just made sure that there was no more haze on her body.
"Ding!"
The phone in Mu Xiaoya's pocket suddenly rang, she took it out and saw that it was sent by her mother.
Mom: Xiaoya, when you were cooking in the kitchen just now, Xiaochuan made a request to me and your father. He very solemnly begged us not to get sick again. We received this offer and agreed. Although this is an impossible request, there is no way a person will not get sick in his life, but we will take this intention and work hard to take care of ourselves.
Mom: Originally, we didn't plan to tell you about this, but after thinking about it with your father, Xiaochuan suddenly made this request, most likely because of you. So daughter, parents will take care of themselves, don't worry.
"Xiaochuan, you are right." Mu Xiaoya looked at the phone with a smirk, "If you agree, it will definitely be useful."
"it works."
"Then you promise me one thing too, okay?"
"Okay." Bai Chuan habitually agreed to all of Mu Xiaoya's requests.
"Tomorrow morning, take a taxi to work by yourself." Mu Xiaoya took the opportunity to say.
"??"
