Life With You

Ren Lina's love for Xiaojie has reached the point where she can take the earliest flight to Chengdu to worship Buddha. Song Xi can finally get away from surveillance and take Xiaojie directly to the hospital to find George Sheng.

After spending these days together, Xiaojie has become very dependent on Song Xi. He calls her godmother every time, which warms Song Xi's heart.

The door to the ward opened. The moment George Sheng saw Song Xi, the calmness in his eyes turned into tenderness. Then he saw the little man leading her beside her, opened his thin lips, and said, Come here.

When Xiaojie met George Sheng's gaze, his first reaction was to lean next to Song Xi, looking a little scared. Song Xi held his hand and said patiently: Don't you know? This is your godfather.

The memory of children of this age is not very deep. They have seen it before, and they have almost forgotten it these days. In addition, George Sheng has a serious look, which makes adults feel worried, let alone children.

Song Xi raised his eyes and said to George Sheng, Smile.

The corners of George Sheng's lips curled up, thinking that he was already very kind, and said to Xiaojie again: Come to godfather.

Song Xi led Xiaojie to the bedside. He was not as high as the bed. She leaned over to pick him up and put him next to the bed. George Sheng raised her hand and touched his head and said, I won't be here so soon. Remember me, last time you spilled a cup of wine on my pants.

Xiaojie was touched on the head and did not dare to move. After a few seconds, he turned around and opened his arms to Song Xi.

Song Xi picked him up again, and he hugged her neck without looking back.

She comforted: Don't be afraid, Xiaojie. Your godfather is a very nice person. He will take you to eat roast duck and make toys for you. Don't you like the big wolf dogs at home? Those dogs are the best with him. Friend, let him teach you later how to make dogs obedient.

Xiaojie said in a sweet voice: Let the dog sit.

Song Xi agreed: Yes, let them sit down and pick up the ball for you. These godfathers can do that.

Seeing this, George Sheng said out loud: Put him down to save your back pain.

Song Xi said: It's okay, it doesn't hurt.

George Sheng said: Put him on the bed and I'll talk to him for a while.

Song Xi said: Smile a little, don't scare the child.

George Sheng thought to himself, isn't he gentle enough?

Song Xi discussed with Xiaojie and said that she would stay with him, so he was willing to take off his shoes and sit by the bed, but he still didn't want to look at George Sheng.

Although it was the first time for George Sheng to take care of a child, he had no skills, but he was smarter. He just heard Song Xi say that Xiaojie likes dogs, so he started the topic with dogs. Sure enough, Xiaojie responded and gradually started to chat with him. As soon as the conversation started, he showed his lively temperament, danced and opened his mouth eager to express.

Song Xi watched from the side, one big and one small, one gesticulating and talking, the other patiently listening. This scene was indescribably heartwarming. It turned out that the combination of people like George Sheng and children was also strangely harmonious.

After talking for a long time, when George Sheng felt that Xiaojie had completely relaxed his vigilance towards him, he said: Are you willing to stay and play in Night City? My godmother and I will accompany you, and there are many big friends. dog.

Xiaojie nodded without thinking.

George Sheng put his big hand on the top of his head, rubbed it, and continued: Then I will take you to see grandma today. She will come over to see you and then return to Hong Kong. Will you cry?

Xiaojie seemed to understand at first, and then asked in a low voice: Won't I go back?

George Sheng said: You have to stay here to take care of the dogs. You haven't learned how to let them pick up the ball for you.

Xiaojie said innocently: I will return to Hong Kong when they learn how to do it.

George Sheng did not answer directly, but changed the subject and said: You have to promise me first that you are not allowed to cry when you see grandma today, because if you cry, grandma will think that you are not happy here and will take you away at any time. How can you train a dog if you take it back to Hong Kong?

Seeing the serious conversation between Xiaojie and George Sheng, Song Xi was suddenly brought to tears, and the tip of her nose felt sore. She quickly looked away and pretended to get snacks, but she was actually wiping her tears secretly.

When she turned around again, George Sheng was already hooking up with Xiaojie. Xiaojie promised him that he would not cry. George Sheng said, Man, keep your word.

At noon that day, George Sheng was helped into the wheelchair by Tong Hao. Song Xi thought she was about to leave, so he said to her: You and Xiaojie wait here for a while, and we will come to pick you up later.

Song Xi didn't ask the reason. She didn't understand until later when she saw He's mother and saw the urn held tightly in her hand.

Grandma and grandson met, He's mother was very excited. She stepped forward with red eyes and called Xiaojie's name.

Xiaojie, who was in Song Xi's arms, also stretched out his arms and shouted: Grandma.

Mother He held He Yusen's urn in one hand and hugged Xiaojie in the other. Her eyes were closed. Tears were obviously flowing, but the sadness was silent.

Song Xi couldn't bear to see this scene, but he couldn't avoid it, so he could only grit his teeth and hold back tears.

Grandma... Xiaojie called, holding his mother's neck.

Mother He raised her head after a long while and spoke to Xiaojie in Cantonese. She spoke very softly and slowly, and Song Xi vaguely heard that she was asking Xiaojie how he was doing during this time.

Xiaojie replied in Cantonese. He didn't know what he said. He's mother burst into tears and smiled, nodding and crying.

The old man was old, and he held the urn tightly with one hand, unable to hold the child at all. Xiaojie was held in Song Xi's arms for a long time. George Sheng, who was not far away, saw this and stood up. Tong Hao He propped him up, not daring to use his left leg, and limped to Song Xi's side, taking the child from her arms.

Song Xigang's first reaction was that she didn't want to give it to him. After all, it was difficult for him to stand on his legs. No matter how small Xiaojie was, he still weighed dozens of pounds. She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it. But George Sheng took the hand with determination, and he was determined again. Without losing caution, Song Xi had no choice but to let go.

Holding Xiaojie in his arms, George Sheng said to Mother He: Don't worry, Xiaojie is with us. Song Xi and I will treat him as our own son.

Mother He nodded with tears in her eyes, but was speechless.

Song Xi had his hands free, supported the old man and said: Auntie, I know it's useless to say sorry and don't be sad. Zhi Sheng and I will devote all our feelings to Xiaojie. Even if we have our own children in the future, Xiaojie Jay will always be the big brother and we will treat him equally.

Mother He held Song Xi's hand tightly and struggled to speak in Mandarin: He has no mother. He is very pitiful. I am too old to take care of him for the rest of his life. Xiaojie will be entrusted to you. I will thank you on behalf of his father... …”

The old man is a very sensible person. Although He Yusen’s accident in Night City happened because of George Sheng, but in this business, one’s head is tied to the waistband. There is no tomorrow until today, not to mention George Sheng’s handling of the incident. , did not disappoint her, and did not chill the dead He Yusen, this was enough.

Song Xi held the old man's hand with both hands and said with red eyes: Auntie, please stay in Yecheng. Zhi Sheng and I will fulfill our filial piety to you.

The old man shook his head and looked at the urn in his arms, I want to take him home.

Saying go home, Song Xi's eyes blurred for a moment.

Xiaojie must not have understood, but he suddenly asked: Where is dad?

Mother He raised her head to look at Xiaojie, her eyes were cloudy and yellow. For a moment, Song Xi felt that her eyes were unfocused.

Holding back his sadness, the old man took Xiaojie's hand, put it against his face, and whispered back: He is very busy and has to go far away. You must be obedient here in Night City.

Xiaojie asked: What about grandma?

The old man replied: Grandma will have to go far away in the future and won't be able to take care of you. You have to be good.

Song Xi thought Xiaojie would cry, but unexpectedly he raised his hand to wipe away Mother He's tears and said seriously: Grandma, don't cry. I will come back to Hong Kong to find you after I train the dog.

Song Xi lowered his head and bit his lip secretly, otherwise he was afraid that he would cry.

George Sheng looked at Xiaojie and said, Tell grandma who you are?

Xiaojie said: I am a man, I will be strong and I will not cry.

On the same day, a group of people took Mother He to the airport in person. When she came, she was alone. When she returned, she took her son with her. Song Xi said to her: Auntie, we will go see you.

Mother He was still nodding her head at that time, but who knew that this farewell would be the last time.
