On the way back after dinner, Xiao Yuanmu received a call.
Song Xuanhe didn't think much at first, but when he saw his gloomy eyes after he came back, he still asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuanmu moved closer to him and grabbed his hand. Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows, but he didn't break away.
So silent until entering the elevator of the apartment, Xiao Yuanmu said in a deep voice: "An accident happened to Xiao Lin."
After thinking for four or five seconds, Song Xuanhe matched the name Xiao Lin with his identity, "Your father? What's wrong with him?"
It's just that he didn't know why, he didn't have a good impression of the Xiao family, so he just asked casually.
"He fell down after being hit hard, and it seems that he hit his head." Xiao Yuanmu's tone did not show any worry: "He is now in the hospital for emergency treatment."
"Then you go there." Song Xuan said, "I will take care of Xiao Huang at night."
"Need not."
The elevator door opened, Xiao Yuanmu took a deep look at Song Xuanhe, and said, "It's not suitable for you to stay in City Y now, I'll help you book a ticket, and you go back to China right away."
"why?"
Hearing the imperative sentence, Song Xuanhe's first reaction was to refute like a rebellious teenager in adolescence, but after seeing the worry in Xiao Yuanmu's eyes, he paused and said: "It just so happens that I plan to return to China, myself Just book a ticket."
Xiao Yuanmu said softly: "Okay."
The two walked out of the elevator side by side. Song Xuanhe glanced at the unopened suitcase at the entrance, and clicked his tongue: "It seems that there is no need to pack it."
Xiao Huang followed the sound, shouted happily at the two, wagged his tail without any worries, and jumped around the two.
Xiao Yuanmu didn't expect that he just changed the direction of some things in advance, which would make the accident that happened to Xiao Lin in the previous life so much earlier. Although he didn't regret what he did, he thought that the reunion would only take two days. When they were about to separate, his eyes still dimmed.
Xiao Yuanmu said in a low voice, "I'll see you off."
Song Xuan and the hand that opened the mobile phone to book tickets paused, and raised his eyes to meet Xiao Yuanmu's.
"No need, I've already booked the ticket, and it will be three hours later." Song Xuanhe looked away and said, "You should go to the hospital quickly, no matter what, he is you..."
"I want to see you off." Xiao Yuanmu lifted Song Xuanhe's suitcase, turned his back to him and said, "Let's go."
Song Xuanhe looked down at Xiao Huang who was still jubilant, knelt down and rubbed its head heavily: "Eat less." Then when it was lying excitedly and wanted him to rub its belly, it stood up and walked to the elevator .
Xiao Huang didn't know what they were talking about, but he knew that every time the elevator door opened and the owner went in, he would let him be alone at home, so when he saw the two of them had just returned and left him, he couldn't help rushing directly. After entering the elevator, he grabbed Xiao Yuanmu's trouser legs and whimpered.
"What about it?" Song Xuanhe glanced at the pendant on Xiao Yuanmu's lap: "Is it very heavy?"
Xiao Yuanmu bent down to pick up Xiao Huang, and said, "Take him with you. I probably won't be able to come back tonight. After sending you off, I'll ask Louis to pick him up and live there for a few days."
Song Xuanhe nodded and closed the elevator door.
The two of them got into the car like this, Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu sat in the front row, Xiao Huang squeezed his head in the gap between the seats, shaking his head from time to time to look at Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu, woof woof Wang cried out, very excited.
Song Xuanhe, who was still a little worried, was disturbed by it, but relaxed a little, and asked: "Mr. Xiao's accident will not affect you, will it?"
"See if he's serious." Xiao Yuanmu raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Huang's protruding head, and then put his hand down, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it covered Song Xuanhe's hand that hadn't been retracted just after rubbing Xiao Huang. Looking ahead intently, he said softly, "I hope he's okay."
Song Xuanhe felt that things would not be as easy as Xiao Yuanmu's. If this matter was really easy to solve, Xiao Yuanmu would not let him leave the country of America.
He frowned and said, "What if he is serious?"
"The Xiao family is in chaos."
Xiao Yuanmu's tone was very light. I don't know if it was Song Xuanhe's illusion, but he seemed to hear a trace of sarcasm.
"The Xiao family should not be in chaos because of Xiao Lin's accident." Song Xuan said: "No matter what, the Xiao family is also a big family that has stood for so many years. There are many people besides Mr. Xiao, but those people Don't make the Xiao family mess up."
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes were heavy, and when he heard Song Xuanhe's words, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a trace of sarcasm: "If I hadn't gone back, those people would definitely not make the Xiao family mess up, and now that I'm here, they might instead Hope it gets better."
Song Xuanhe pursed his lips, and before Xiao Yuanmu pulled away his hand covering him, he flipped his hand and held his hand.
Xiao Yuanmu looked at Song Xuanhe in astonishment, but saw Song Xuanhe looking out the window with only the corners of his mouth slightly pursed.
"don’t worry."
Xiao Yuanmu smiled: "Well, I'm not worried."
The two held hands and stopped talking, but because Xiao Huang yelled a few times from time to time, the atmosphere in the car was not awkward, but rather warm.
Xiao Yuanmu's heat came continuously through the palm of his hand, Song Xuanhe looked at the passing scenery outside the window, feeling confused.
He seemed to be thinking about a lot of things in his mind, but he didn't seem to think about anything, but when he saw a pedestrian walking with his head down and his stomach in a hurry, Song Xuanhe suddenly thought of something again.
"Your stomach..." Song Xuanhe turned his head and said, "What's going on?"
"It happened a long time ago." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly, "I don't even remember what happened."
Song Xuanhe frowned, feeling that Xiao Yuanmu was not telling the truth, he was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of things, but this time, he really wanted to know the answer.
"When was your first stomach pain, did you go to the doctor? What did the doctor say?"
Xiao Yuanmu said lightly: "I don't remember."
"Didn't see a doctor?"
"No."
Xiao Yuanmu held Song Xuanhe's hand tightly, then let go, and put it on the steering wheel again. He looked ahead and said lightly: "I was too busy at the time, and I didn't have time."
"When you were in high school?" Song Xuanhe guessed for a while, but felt wrong after asking, "About how old were you?"
"A long time ago."
After saying that, the car stopped, Xiao Yuanmu turned his head to look at Song Xuanhe and said: "I have forgotten the cause of this matter, it is too long ago, and it is not a very important matter."
Song Xuanhe took a deep look at Xiao Yuanmu, the corner of his mouth twitched and finally he didn't ask anything, just opened the car door.
How good is Xiao Yuanmu's memory? Song Xuanhe is probably the person in this world who knows best except Xiao Yuanmu himself. He can even remember unfamiliar faces that he accidentally glanced at in his mind. How could he forget such a thing? Important, and has continued to affect the cause of his life.
It's just that he didn't want to say it, and Song Xuanhe didn't want to ask any more.
Some things are not suitable to be mentioned, and it should be a serious wound for him to make Xiao Yuanmu avoid it so much, Song Xuanhe is unwilling to aggravate his wound.
He is confused because he knows how firm Xiao Yuanmu's heart is, and how strong his heart is. Xiao Yuanmu's tenacity makes it difficult for people in this world to influence him. If you really want to count , the only person Song Xuanhe could count was the dean of the orphanage, but he believed that the dean could not hurt Xiao Yuanmu, so he wondered whether he had ever treated Xiao Yuan before the plot started. Mu is important enough to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the dean.
Only such a person can really hurt him, but if there is such a person, why has it never appeared in the plot, and has never been mentioned by Xiao Yuanmu
"Let's go."
Xiao Yuanmu pulled Song Xuanhe's suitcase and stood in front of him, interrupting his thoughts.
Song Xuanhe glanced at Xiao Yuanmu's expressionless face, pursed his lips and looked away, saw Xiao Huang who was holding the car door, and said, "You left it in the car alone?"
"I've already had someone watch it for me." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly, "It can't enter the airport, you can say goodbye to it here."
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows: "You have to say goodbye face to face. It doesn't look like I'm saying goodbye to it through the window."
"like what?"
"Visitor."
Xiao Yuanmu was stunned for a second, then bent his lips suddenly, tapped Xiao Huang who was lying on the inside of the car window with his slender fingers, and said, "The prison will not leave a gap on the window."
Seeing the gloom in Xiao Yuanmu's eyes dissipate, Song Xuanhe also bent his eyes, reached out and touched Xiao Huang's paw through the gap in the window, and said: "I have never liked pets before, but seeing it has changed my life." Thoughts, goodbye, little one."
Xiao Huang yelled at Song Xuanhe twice in a very appropriate way.
Song Xuanhe withdrew his hand, stretched out the other hand to take the suitcase in Xiao Yuanmu's hand: "Give me the suitcase, I can go in by myself, you should accompany it, and leave it alone in this strange place. place, it will be afraid."
"Are you afraid of being left alone?" Xiao Yuanmu asked.
Song Xuanhe didn't think much, took the suitcase and replied: "Of course, so you can accompany it, I'll go in."
Xiao Yuanmu held Song Xuanhe's hand, seeing Song Xuanhe turned back in doubt, he held his hand tightly, then let go, saying: "Call me in the waiting room."
Song Xuanhe laughed, and said, "It's only ten minutes from here to the waiting room, why call?"
"I'm afraid you're afraid."
Song Xuanhe was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "What am I afraid of?"
"Didn't you say that it would be scary to be left alone?"
Song Xuanhe blinked his eyes, and it took a few seconds for him to react, and said: "I'm talking about Xiao Huang, not me. He will be afraid if he is left behind because he is still small and is... an animal, a mature animal like me." Of course men don't."
"meeting."
Hearing Xiao Yuanmu's determination, Song Xuanhe could say ten reasons for rebuttal when he opened his mouth, but when he met Xiao Yuanmu's gaze, he swallowed the words again.
Xiao Yuanmu's certainty seemed to be just casual, he no longer entangled in this topic, but lightly told Song Xuan and said: "Remember to call me."
For some reason, Song Xuanhe felt that it was unimaginable to talk on the phone after only ten minutes apart, so he agreed. After arriving at the waiting room, he immediately called Xiao Yuanmu.
"I'm in the waiting room."
"I know."
"..."
Song Xuanhe found this behavior ridiculous again, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Then I'll hang up."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone briefly, Song Xuanhe put down the phone, and after about ten seconds, he suddenly became sad after realizing it.
