Xi Feng got up in a hurry and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He took a taxi to Qingya Community on Wutong Road, and found the door of the room where He Yunsheng's mother lived upstairs according to the detailed address He Yunsheng gave him. The doorbell, after a while, heard a ringing inside, but it took a long time before someone came to open the door for him.
He Yunsheng's mother is in her fifties. She has a daughter who is studying in a university abroad. Her husband is going abroad with his work unit for an investigation and will not be back until next week. She accidentally fell at home alone, and her left leg was so painful that she couldn't stand up, and she didn't dare to move easily. She probably broke a bone in her heart.
After hesitating, she chose to call her son who was away from home. He Yunsheng was too far away and couldn't rush there immediately. At this time, the only person who could ask for help was Xi Feng.
The old lady dragged her leg and opened the door for him with difficulty. Xi Feng briefly introduced himself, turned his back on the old lady, and went downstairs to send him to the hospital.
When he went to the hospital to go to the emergency department, he checked and paid for admission, Xi Feng ran back and forth, helping to carry him on his back, without a single complaint, even the hospitalization expenses were paid for by him first.
It wasn't until the patient was sent to the ward, all the examinations that should be done, and waiting for the operation tomorrow, that Xi Feng had time to sit down and take a breath and drink a sip of water.
The old lady sat on the hospital bed and looked at him, and said, "Thank you very much, so are you just Yun Sheng's colleague?"
Hearing this, Xi Feng was stunned for a moment, wondering what the old lady meant, but finally he was still not sure, so he said: "We are good friends."
The old lady nodded, "Oh, thank you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do as an old woman at home." Probably because of what happened today, her tone was a little sad unconsciously.
Xi Feng sat on the chair next to the hospital bed, leaned forward and clasped his hands, smiled and said, "Auntie, please leave me a phone number. If you need to tell Yun Sheng if you need anything in the future, just call me."
The old lady also smiled gently, "You are so kind."
She repeated these words no less than ten times today, and Xi Feng began to feel embarrassed after hearing it for a long time.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, He Yunsheng flew to Chongfeng City in a hurry, still dragging the suitcase in his hand, and took a taxi directly to the hospital. When he arrived at the ward, Xi Feng was chatting with the old lady while peeling apples for her with a knife.
An apple had just been peeled, and He Yunsheng walked to the door of the ward in a hurry, breathing slightly, and said, "Mom, how are you?"
Xi Feng turned his head to look at him. It had been almost half a year since he saw him. He Yunsheng didn't seem to have changed at all, but he didn't know if he had lost a little weight.
"Are you here?" Xi Feng stood up from the hospital bed, subconsciously passed the freshly peeled apple in front of He Yunsheng, "Have you had a hard time traveling? Do you want an apple?"
He Yunsheng was stunned, and said: "No need, you can eat."
Xi Feng stared at the apple, suddenly remembered who the apple was peeled for, and wanted to turn around and pass it to the old lady, but seeing that she was agitated, he carefully placed the apple on top of the cup on the bedside table.
The old lady repeated to He Yunsheng what happened at home today.
Xi Feng pulled the chair behind He Yunsheng to let him sit, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came out after a long wash, He Yunsheng was already waiting at the door of the bathroom and stopped him, saying, "Thank you."
When facing He Yunsheng, Xi Feng was obviously not as comfortable as dealing with the old lady. He tried hard not to look too deliberate in his words and actions. He wiped the water on the other hand with his wet fingers, Said: "You're welcome, my aunt has been thanking me all the time today."
He Yunsheng said: "The incident happened suddenly. I don't have any other friends here, so I can only call you."
Xi Feng wanted to say in his heart: I'm too happy to be happy, but he said: "That's not right. From now on, Auntie will call me directly if you have anything to do. You don't need to come here in a hurry because you are busy with work."
He Yunsheng asked him, "You paid for my mother's admission to the hospital?"
Xi Feng said: "There's no rush, let's wait for my aunt's condition to stabilize in two days. She will be scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning."
He Yunsheng also felt that there was no need to return the money in a hurry, as if he was eager to get rid of the relationship, he just nodded and said: "To trouble you so much today, I have time in a few days, and I still want to treat you to dinner and thank you very much. "
Xi Feng said without sincerity: "There is no need to be so polite." But he thought that he would definitely eat the meal with He Yunsheng.
He Yunsheng looked at him and smiled, "It should."
Xi Feng couldn't help looking at his face carefully, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and asked, "Did you come here on leave?"
He Yunsheng replied, "I'm going to ask for leave next week."
Xi Feng then asked: "Are you going to stay in bed in the hospital tonight?"
He Yunsheng nodded, "Sure."
Xi Feng asked in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"
He Yunsheng said: "No need, you have worked hard all day, why don't you go back and rest early?"
"What about you?" Xi Feng asked tentatively, "Have you been in bed in the hospital for the past few days? Isn't it too hard?"
He Yunsheng turned his head and took a look inside. From this angle, the old lady lying on the outer hospital bed couldn't see the two of them. The TV was on, and they probably couldn't hear their voices clearly. He said, "At least wait until tomorrow for the operation." Let's talk when we're done."
Xi Feng said: "Why don't you hire a nurse? Find an aunt to accompany your aunt. Someone will replace you during the day and night, so you can rest for a while."
He Yunsheng said to him: "Let's talk, don't worry."
Xi Feng had no choice but to say yes.
He Yunsheng said to him again: "Go back and rest."
Xi Feng wanted to stay with him for a while longer, but he didn't have any good excuses, so he just nodded and said, "I'm going back first, and I'll see you tomorrow."
He Yunsheng neither agreed nor refused.
Xi Feng came back to the ward to say goodbye to the old lady, and then left the hospital with his mobile phone and wallet.
Even though he was thinking about He Yunsheng all night, Xi Feng still refrained from contacting him, but went to the hospital the next morning, bought some fruit milk, and brought two small cakes for He Yunsheng.
When he arrived, the old lady had already started the operation, and He Yunsheng was waiting outside the operating room alone. Xi Feng put the things in the ward, and only brought two small cakes for He Yunsheng to eat.
He Yunsheng took a look at the delicate cake, and didn't have the heart to refuse it, so he accepted it.
The old lady's operation went well. After she finished the operation, He Yunsheng called her daughter who was studying in college. The little girl was anxious and immediately asked for leave to rush back from school.
In the afternoon, Xi Feng said to He Yunsheng: "I'm here to watch my aunt, you go back to take a shower and sleep for a while."
He Yunsheng didn't speak.
Xi Feng asked him again: "Is there a place to stay? Have you booked a hotel?"
He Yunsheng said, "It's not too late yet."
Xi Feng moved his mind slightly, and said, "Our company has a cooperative hotel, I'll just call and book a room for you, so you don't have to go out and look for it."
"Is it convenient?" He Yunsheng asked.
Xi Feng said, "Of course it's convenient." Then he called He Yunsheng and booked a room at a partner hotel near the company.
He Yunsheng didn't want to bother Xi Feng to stay in the hospital to take care of his mother. Instead, he inquired in the hospital and hired a professional nurse to take care of him temporarily. He has been in the hospital for so long since yesterday, just like Xi Feng said Yes, he also wanted to find a place to rest for a while, take a shower and change clothes.
But he was still not at ease, and waited in the hospital until the evening, when the old lady had stabilized and finished her transfusion today, she lay on the hospital bed and asked He Yunsheng to go back to rest, and then he followed Xi Feng to leave the hospital and go to the hotel to recuperate.
He had been persuading Xi Feng to go back all afternoon, and there was no need to accompany him in the hospital, but Xi Feng refused to leave anyway. Until the evening, when the two of them came out of the hospital and had something to eat on the way, Xi Feng took a taxi. The car took He Yunsheng to the hotel.
When standing at the entrance of the hotel, Xi Feng hesitated and did not propose to go in with him. He has now understood what is enough and is always afraid that he will scare He Yunsheng if he is too attentive.
So he asked He Yunsheng: "Do you need me to accompany you to the hospital later?"
He Yunsheng shook his head, "It's really unnecessary, thank you very much."
Xi Feng didn't want to hear him say thank you, put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at him for a while and said, "Then I'll go first, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can only go to the hospital to visit my aunt at night."
He Yunsheng said: "You are busy with your work. My mother's situation is very stable. There is no need to waste time to come here every day. After two days, I will arrange to invite you to dinner."
Xi Feng nodded earnestly, "Okay."
Two days later, He Yunsheng's younger sister rushed back from school, and his stepfather also came back from abroad with the delegation. He had arranged things here and was about to go back.
Before leaving, He Yunsheng treated Xi Feng to a meal.
For this meal, He Yunsheng specially found a Japanese grocery store with a good environment and cheap prices. The two of them sat down face to face, and the first thing He Yunsheng did was to thank him solemnly.
Xi Feng looked at He Yunsheng and said, "If you say thank you again, then I will leave."
He Yunsheng laughed when he heard the words, he felt that Xi Feng had changed very obviously, mainly in the aspect of his life, which made him feel that Xi Feng was not like the original Xi Feng.
In fact, Xi Feng is still the original Xi Feng, he has his own views on things, but he is no longer outspoken. He experienced the failure of a relationship and knew that when you cry for candy and no one will give it to you, you should act like an adult and earn money to buy candy by yourself.
He Yunsheng is also an adult. He asked Xi Feng about his work here in an ordinary manner, and talked to him about the situation of the original company after Xi Feng left, personnel changes, and market changes, but he did not mention the past grievances between the two. blame.
In the end, He Yunsheng asked Xi Feng for the bank account number, and said that he would return all the expenses Xi Feng paid in advance after returning.
Xi Feng also only said: "Okay."
When he came out of the grocery store, He Yunsheng felt that it was a bit cold outside, so he raised his hand to put on his coat. A leather bag in the pocket of the coat slipped out and fell on the sidewalk. He immediately bent down to pick it up.
Xi Feng saw a car driving close to the edge of the road, very close to He Yunsheng, he subconsciously took a step forward, put his arm around He Yunsheng's waist, and pressed his chest with the other hand to pull him back a step, holding back the loud scolding The driver's impulse was to ask, "Are you all right?"
Their bodies were still close together. When Xi Feng spoke, He Yunsheng could feel the vibration of his chest on his back. Besides, his hands and chest were warm and powerful, which made people feel a strange feeling. The illusion that your arms are the safest place in the world.
He Yunsheng wanted to get rid of this illusion, Xi Feng immediately let go of his hand, bent down to help him pick up the purse and handed it to him, saying: "The driver here drives more wildly."
"Thank you," He Yunsheng took over and thanked.
Xi Feng suddenly asked him: "How are you getting along with your boyfriend?" He held back this sentence all night, and when it came time to break up, he still couldn't help asking.
He Yunsheng lowered his head and wiped the dust on the leather bag with his fingers, and said, "It's pretty good."
Xi Feng made a joke: "It seems that I still have no chance." Although it sounded like a joke, the deep disappointment in his tone could hardly be concealed, and it permeated.
He Yunsheng was instantly choked by this loss, he had to clear his throat, and when he was about to speak, he heard Xi Feng say again: "Go back, I'll see you off."
What happened just now was understated, as if the joke was just a joke, and the loss was not really lost.
He Yunsheng said, "No need."
Xi Feng told him: "My home is very close to your hotel, we will take a taxi to take you back to the hotel first, and then I will go home."
He Yunsheng had no reason to refuse, so he nodded.
When Xi Feng helped him open the car door and asked him to get in the car, He Yunsheng suddenly realized that Xi Feng gradually began to dominate the relationship with others, and his request was no longer arrogant and rude, but restrained and measured The ones that you can't refuse, and then slowly erode your territory.
He Yunsheng was a little dazed.
