When Pei Qingfei turned to look at her father, she was stunned.
She had seen all his appearances, on the podium, and in life, except for the scene where he was wearing a hospital gown at the moment.
Pei Shifang was originally sitting on the bed with a book in his hand. When he saw his daughter coming, he put his things aside and beckoned her to sit beside him.
Pei Qingfei stood still and didn't move.
Pei Shifang could only sigh slightly, looked at his wife, and said to his daughter, "Qing Fei, Dad, I will not hide from you, I will be in the hospital from today, as long as I can handle it and all the indicators are normal, it will be soon. undergo surgery."
"Surgery... is there any risk?" Pei Qingfei asked softly.
Pei Shifang smiled, "Silly boy, as long as it is an operation, there will be risks, so if in case... "
Pei Qingfei hurriedly shook her head, "No, there won't be any emergency, Dad, you will be fine."
Her daughter is very much like herself, and she seldom looks too flustered because of something. Pei Qingfei in front of her seems to take Pei Shifang back to those old things more than ten years ago. At that time, he and his wife were very unhappy because of their advanced studies. He even mentioned divorce. At that time, her daughter had the same expression in front of her. Her hurried face was like a blank sheet of paper, and a pair of uneasy eyes stared at her, as if that was her only reliance and hope, and that was the one. Years changed Pei Qingfei's life.
Pei Shifang suddenly couldn't bear it, but after a moment of silence, he finally said, "Qing Fei, Dad actually wants to ask you something."
"What's the matter." Pei Qingfei's heart moved slightly.
"Qing Fei, Dad thinks that he still has a lot of time, even if he is old, his hair is gray, and he can't walk, I can still protect my wife and children, and take care of you, but everything is unpredictable. The operating table doesn't know if there will be any accident, so Dad wants to ask you to leave Qi Cheng."
Pei Shifang's words seemed like a blast of thunder, which struck Pei Qingfei's head. She felt a buzzing sound in her ears, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You and Qi Cheng are both still young, why do you have to take such a path? Dad really doesn't want his daughter, who he held in his hand since childhood, to live under the criticism of others, and he doesn't want you to bear so many things that you shouldn't have to bear, and he doesn't want you Too hard."
Pei Qingfei shook her head, "I don't work hard, I don't think... "
"What about your mother?" Pei Shifang asked.
Mother
Pei Qingfei was taken aback.
Pei Shifang said sternly, "Qi Cheng, we have only been here for less than a week, and your mother has heard a lot of gossip from people who don't know her in the community."
Pei Qingfei's hands were trembling with anger. These people, these people were just pointing at her behind her back. She even brought her parents along with her. She just wanted to know what they were going to say. Her parents didn't teach her, so she went down the wrong road. Her parents had never been so humiliated.
Pei Qingfei's face was ashen, and Pei Shifang added another fire, "Qingfei, if I have an emergency, only your mother will face all this in the future. You don't think it's hard, you and Qi Cheng can support each other. Accompanying, what about your mother, the paper can't wrap the fire, even if you live in B city, one day the news will reach Lingjiang, then your mother will be troubled by these rumors, do you really have the heart?"
Pei Qingfei felt that at this moment, she was like a drowning person. She couldn't find a way out, she couldn't see the light, and no one could pull her. Everything around her was gradually drowning her, and she felt breathless. .
"Could it be that if Dad asked you like this, he couldn't make you change your mind?"
Pei Qingfei stood stubbornly in the same place until the last sentence, which completely defeated the last line of defense in her heart.
"I..." Pei Qingfei spoke with difficulty, tears like pearls with a broken thread.
In front of her is her relatives, and outside is her love.
Perhaps the reason why Qi Cheng appeared in the hospital was because his parents had already talked to her.
How will she answer? Pei Qingfei thought, she must be reluctant to make herself embarrassed.
Pei Qingfei felt that she had not been so helpless for many years. She once sat on the edge of the flower bed and was saddened by her parents' cold war and quarrel. She thought that was the last time, because from then on she recognized her heart. No matter how difficult it is, she still has Qi Cheng, but now her relatives are forcing her to give up, forcing her to cut her own heart with her own hands, dripping with blood.
Without Qi Cheng, she would be alone again.
She seemed to have returned to the past, the little girl who hugged her knees to keep herself warm under the acacia tree.
There was no Qi Cheng, no laughter to make her happy, only a small floral dress and red leather shoes.
Bright red and bright red, like her blood.
Mother Pei watched her daughter stand there blankly, and at first she listened carefully, but then she seemed to no longer hear what she and her husband were saying, her eyes gradually lost focus, and her lips slightly opened and closed as if to What to say, she clenched her fists with both hands, and seemed to have exhausted all her strength, but she still couldn't say that sentence.
Mother Pei burst into tears, she compromised, she really couldn't force her child like this.
"Okay, okay, Qing Fei, it's okay, it's okay." Mother Pei rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly.
The daughter in her arms was trembling all the time, no matter how she comforted her, Pei Qingfei was always tense, her hands were clenched, her eyes were scattered, her breathing was short, and Pei Qingfei's mother could even feel Pei Qingfei's heart beating violently.
"Qing Fei, Qing Fei." Pei's mother kept shouting her daughter's name, hoping that she would regain her sanity.
Dad Pei also got off the hospital bed, "Quick, help her to the bed quickly."
Seeing Papa Pei coming, Pei Qingfei grabbed his arm.
Pei Shifang touched his daughter's forehead, "Qing Fei, you won't lose anything. Dad won't force you to give up. Dad's disease has also been diagnosed... It's benign."
Qi Cheng was sitting on the chair in the corridor. She really wanted to leave quietly, but she agreed to Pei Qingfei. She didn't want her to go back on her word and make Pei Qingfei sad. She sat on the chair and thought about everything that might happen inside.
She is still entangled, and Pei Qingfei's embarrassment can be imagined.
Time passed by, and a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came from the ward.
Qi Cheng was stunned, this voice was too familiar to her, and too unfamiliar. Pei Qingfei would only cry silently since she was a child. If you didn't look at her directly, you would even think that she was doing just fine.
How could she cry like this, how could she be so sad.
Qi Cheng's body didn't listen to the command of her brain at all. While she was still thinking about it, her people had already rushed into the ward.
Pei Qingfei was surrounded by her parents and kept asking each other, "Why, why are you doing this?"
Qi Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, even if the other party was Pei Qingfei's parents, she didn't care to rush up and hold him tightly in her arms.
Familiar embrace, familiar temperature, Pei Qingfei clenched Qi Cheng's clothes tightly and cried bitterly.
Qi Cheng felt that her heart was about to break, she could only keep following Pei Qingfei's back, "Baby, baby, it's me, I'm here."
The cry became weaker, but Qi Cheng felt that her arms were getting heavier and heavier, Pei Qingfei's body began to twitch, and her forehead seemed to be drenched in water. He fell softly into his arms.
"Qing Fei, don't scare me, Qing Fei!"
The nurse station was not far from the ward, and when I heard the noise here, I ran over on purpose. When I saw someone fainted, I immediately told the family to spread out, "Move the person to the bed, don't surround her, come, look at me. , relax, relax, adjust your breathing."
The little nurse moved her hands up and down, imitating the rhythm of her breathing, but Pei Qingfei couldn't relax. Her eyes were out of focus, but she was looking in the direction of her parents. The little nurse seemed to understand something. The couple said, "You all go out first. With so many people around here, the patient is very nervous and there is no way to relax."
When the three of them left the ward, Qi Cheng was worried, stuck to the door, and tried every means to find out what was going on inside.
Dad Pei looked at Qi Cheng's anxious look and sighed, but his expression didn't look much disappointed.
For Qi Cheng, these ten minutes seemed as long as a century. After finally waiting for the little nurse to come out, Qi Cheng immediately held her hand.
"How is she?" Qi Cheng asked.
The little nurse was relaxed, "Oh, it's alright, it's relieved, the physiological reaction caused by acute anxiety, although I don't know what you said that irritated her, but she needs to rest now, family members should be more careful when they talk."
Qi Cheng nodded in agreement, and immediately wanted to push the door in, but thinking that Pei Qingfei's parents were still standing behind him, Qi Cheng's hand paused.
"Go in and see her." Papa Pei's voice came.
"I... can I?" Qi Cheng asked behind his back.
"If she feels better, you can take her home. You heard what the nurse said just now, she needs a good rest." At the end, Pei Shifang solemnly added, "Qi Cheng, my daughter will ask you. "
At noon, the elders of the Pei family hoped that they could let go. It was only a few hours now, and everything seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. She felt like she was riding a roller coaster, suddenly up and down, she couldn't understand Pei Dad, I don't understand what he's thinking at all.
Obviously, the other party didn't intend to explain. Pei Shifang turned around and looked at his wife, "Qing Fei is afraid that she doesn't want to see me very much. I'm going out for a walk, how about you."
Mother Pei nodded and followed her husband.
Qi Cheng pushed the door in and saw Pei Qingfei lying with her back to the door, facing out the window.
"Qing Fei?"
Pei Qingfei didn't answer her, nor did she move. Qi Cheng thought she was asleep, so she walked to her side lightly. After the two faced each other, Qi Cheng realized that the pillow Pei Qingfei was lying on was wet with tears. After a small piece, it turned out that she had been crying.
For the first time, Qi Cheng complained to Pei's father a little. She really wanted to ask him, didn't he keep saying that he loved his daughter and wanted to protect her all his life, how could he bear to force her like this.
Qi Cheng is uncomfortable, not for herself, but for her lover. Now she just wants to hold her baby in her arms and comfort her.
But just as Qi Cheng's hand touched Pei Qingfei's body, he was gently avoided by the other party.
The author has something to say: Tomorrow is the finale.
