Long-awaited

At the door of the operating room of the hospital, all kinds of family members were sitting or standing, all stretching their necks, looking anxiously at the door of the operating room that would suddenly open at some point.

Looking at the vicissitudes of life that will be staged at any time, Cheng Yihe suddenly feels confused.

He subconsciously looked down at his hands. His fingertips seemed to still have the real touch of holding Cheng Lin's cold body into the ambulance. The ferocious bloodstains continued to spread in his eyes as if they were alive, blurring the morning of the cold wind seven years ago, as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest again, the cold was unbearable and the pain was overwhelming. .

Sitting next to him, Cheng Jin crumpled and held his head, and kept asking nervously, "Brother, what should I do if my brother just dies like this!"

Cheng Yihe seemed to be isolated by a transparent film, and he didn't react at all to Cheng Jin's words.

Cheng Jin couldn't help but pushed Cheng Yihe's shoulder, "Brother, are you listening?"

Cheng Yihe paused suddenly, the five senses that had been frozen all over his body finally returned to their positions, his eyes focused, and he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Cheng Jin, and his whole talent was finally separated from the distant memories.

He looked up at the scarlet font in the operating room, and said firmly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Lin Lin... definitely not."

But Cheng Jin felt that Cheng Yihe was just comforting him indiscriminately.They all knew that while the ambulance was rushing to the hospital, Cheng Lin's breathing and heartbeat had stopped once.

Time slipped by, Cheng Lin was sent to the operating room for nearly three hours, and now it was almost midnight, and there were only five or six people left in the noisy waiting area.

Suddenly, the door of the operating room opened abruptly, and Cheng Yihe and Cheng Jin stood up reflexively, only to hear the nurse shout: "Wang Lili's family!"

The two had no choice but to sit back again, watching others excitedly and carefully pushing their family members back to the ward with some envy.

After those people left, only the two brothers were left in the waiting area.

Without the presence of any outsiders, the stagnant and silent atmosphere between them became more and more prominent.

When he was a child, Cheng Jin was quite afraid of Cheng Yihe. Now that he met again as an adult, Cheng Jin seemed to be that weak and taciturn little boy, shrouded in the shadow of Cheng Yihe's tallness, and the overwhelming sense of oppression made him breathless.

Cheng Jin thought to himself, he is no longer a child, he has grown up.He took a few deep breaths, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere.

Cheng Yihe's deep and slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded, "Why did Lin Lin become like this?"

"What?" What Cheng Jin wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he didn't react for a while.

Cheng Yihe said: "Mental illness."

Cheng Jin's reflex nerves went around for a long time, and finally he suddenly said: "Oh, oh, this... I can't explain it clearly."

Cheng Yihe thought that Cheng Jin was deliberately perfunctory, frowned, and said angrily: "Could it be that you are also sick? You can't explain such a simple thing!"

Cheng Jin was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he stammered: "Yes, yes, it is quite complicated. Ever since my brother disappeared, my mother said that my brother has mental problems. But I have always seen him as normal. It happened all of a sudden."

What Cheng Jin said was ambiguous and a bit confusing, Cheng Yihe didn't understand what he wanted to express at all.

Cheng Yihe squeezed the center of his brows hard, knowing that Cheng Jin was dull when he was a child, so he could only use his little patience and asked carefully: "Missing? After he left with Li Yuan, he hasn't contacted his family again?"

Cheng Jin wondered, "Who is Li Yuan?"

Cheng Yihe's gaze shot at Cheng Jin like a sharp arrow, staring at him closely.

Cheng Jin was horrified by the stare, and tremblingly said, "I really don't know."

Seeing that Cheng Jin didn't seem to be lying, Cheng Yihe's heart suddenly sank, but thinking that Zhang Junyan probably wouldn't tell Cheng Jin about this kind of thing, he didn't continue to press him.

But when Li Yuan was mentioned again after many years, Cheng Yihe was still depressed, and the jealousy and hatred buried deep in his blood were once again clamoring, which disturbed Cheng Yihe's clues.After a few minutes of silence, he suddenly said, "Just tell me what you know."

Cheng Jin had question marks all over his face, not knowing what he knew.Thinking that Cheng Yihe probably wanted to inquire about Li Yuan, but he searched his stomach and repeatedly confirmed that he really didn't know this person.

Looking at Cheng Yihe's icy profile, Cheng Jin didn't dare to offend him again.After a few difficult brain turns, he vaguely guessed that Cheng Yihe probably wanted to know about Cheng Lin after the two families fell out, so he said anxiously: "In the winter of my elder brother's freshman year, I actually don't know exactly what happened. I didn’t know that my brother was missing until I came home during the winter vacation. At first I asked him where he was, and my mother kept scolding me. Later, I heard from others that because of my brother, our two families were cut off from each other. I don't dare to ask any more."

Cheng Yihe said in his heart that Cheng Lin followed Li Yuan.He said calmly, "And then?"

"Three or four years later, my dad suddenly got sick, stomach cancer. When they heard it was cancer, my family was terrified. At that time, I really felt that the sky was going to collapse. I thought at the time, maybe my dad would be gone. I had to tell my brother to come back to see him for the last time. After many inquiries, I finally got the news from my brother. After knowing that my father was sick, he rushed back the next night with a child by his side. .”

Cheng Yihe said: "What kid? He's not with Li Yuan?"

Cheng Jin said sincerely: "Brother, I really don't know the Li Yuan you mentioned. I also swear that when my brother came back, he was not with the Li Yuan you mentioned. There was only one child by his side."

Cheng Yihe was startled, Cheng Lin obviously followed Li Yuan back then, why didn't they stay together?Are you breaking up soon?

No, no, no, not possible.Cheng Yihe thought to himself.

It was obviously difficult for him to overthrow the cognition rooted in his bloodline for seven years in an instant, and he asked immediately: "So when Lin Lin came back, he just wasn't with Li Yuan?"

Cheng Jin had a bitter face, not understanding why Cheng Yihe was obsessed with this person, and said: "Brother, I have never heard of Li Yuan from my brother, not even once."

Cheng Yihe was stunned for a moment, his heart beat wildly and stopped suddenly, as if he had gone through a crazy roller coaster in a few breaths.

He knows Cheng Lin very well. Although he is shy, when it comes to love, he is not worth his life. Even if he was far away in the capital, he knew that as long as Cheng Lin spoke, he would never leave Cheng Yihe's name.

However, Cheng Lin didn't say a word to Li Yuan, why?It's too unreasonable.

The image of Cheng Lin secretly pecking Li Yuan's cheek flashed before his eyes again, Cheng Yihe closed his eyes hard to calm down the unspeakable emotions.Seemingly out of words, he asked: "Then what about the child you mentioned? Li Yuan's?"

Cheng Jin: "..."

He felt that Cheng Yihe was going to be under Li Yuan's spell.But Cheng Jin didn't dare to complain about Cheng Yihe, and replied obediently: "It's my brother's child."

"What!" This news was like dropping a heavy bomb in his ear, Cheng Yihe couldn't believe it.

Seeing Cheng Yihe's astonished expression, Cheng Jin seemed to have finally gotten a little excited. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Actually, I was also quite surprised at the time. Back then, my brother himself was still a child, so why did he bring a , but when I asked him who the child belonged to, he said it belonged to him, and when I asked who the child’s mother was, my brother stopped talking, as many times as I asked.”

Cheng Yihe hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and was again stunned by Cheng Jin's words.

The information obtained from Cheng Import was completely different from what Cheng Yihe had known for many years. What went wrong?

The past flashed through Cheng Yihe's mind, and he couldn't help being startled. Thinking of the few days when Cheng Lin came here, he really didn't see that Cheng Lin was different from ordinary people. If, if the time of his illness was brought forward, then he Was it already abnormal when he was with Li Yuan, but he didn't see it?

No matter how turbulent Cheng Yihe's heart was, Cheng Jinchang sighed, and couldn't keep up with the past, "Speaking of it, it's all a crime, and it's all my fault. I called my brother back, but it also dragged him down. He brought It’s not easy for a child, but for his father’s medical expenses, he took care of his father in the hospital while working two jobs outside.”

Listening to Cheng Jin Xuxu's narration, Cheng Yihe suddenly felt that his thoughts were too ridiculous. If Cheng Lin became mentally ill at that time, how would he take care of the children later, and how would he rush back when he learned that his father was seriously ill? ?

Cheng Yihe's heart fell silent again, and he subconsciously asked, "What happened next?"

"Later..." After Cheng Lin said two words, he choked up, paused, and said, "Oh... Later, my brother was overloaded with work, and at the same time he wanted to be with me Taking care of my father, sometimes I can fall asleep while sitting, so I don’t take good care of the child. One day, his child was lost in the hospital.”

"Didn't find it?"

Cheng Jin shook his head, "No, I reported the case later, but I couldn't find it. You think the police have so many cases to deal with every day, how could they follow you to find the child all day long? After more than a month, they issued a missing person notice. The police also gradually withdrew their police force. My brother still did not give up and went to the street to look for it all day. It was not until one day that my brother was on the street and suddenly called Ning Ning in the arms of someone else’s child that I realized He's mentally ill."

Cheng Yihe couldn't help muttering: "Ningning?"

Cheng Jin said, "Well, the name my brother gave the child is Cheng Yining."

After finishing speaking, the two fell into a suffocating and weird silence again. In the sound of each other's suppressed breathing, the two knew each other tacitly, as if they had glimpsed the other's helplessness and grief at the same time.

After a few minutes, Cheng Yihe took the initiative to start the conversation, "How is Second Uncle's illness?"

Cheng Jin sighed, "Later, my mother borrowed money from a fellow villager before performing my father's operation."

"now what?"

"The operation at that time almost cut off two-thirds of my father's stomach, but luckily he survived, but his physical strength was not as good as before. Now my mother concentrates on taking care of my father at home." □, Cheng Jin suddenly said in a relaxed tone, "Actually, this is pretty good. My parents have been separated for most of their lives, and now they can still be with each other. I have to thank God."

Cheng Yihe originally wanted to visit Cheng Rongyuan, but thinking that he probably didn't want to see himself, so as not to irritate his body that was almost hollowed out by the disease, Cheng Yihe thought it's better to forget it, so he nodded meaninglessly. "In the past few years, have you been taking care of Lin Lin?"

Cheng Jin said: "Well, my mother is tired enough to see my father alone, so I brought my brother with me when I came out to work. Unexpectedly, this time he got lost, he even remembered to look for you."

Cheng Yihe said: "Since you are in the capital, why don't you come to me?"

Cheng Jin glanced at Cheng Yihe with a guilty conscience, not daring to say that he was actually afraid of Cheng Yihe, and said: "It's nothing serious and it's not good to always bother you, and even though my brother is mentally abnormal, as long as he doesn't think about Ningning, he's fine I will take care of her, and she will help with cooking when she is fine. Only when she thinks of Ning Ning will she go crazy, but just be patient and coax her."

Cheng Yihe didn't continue speaking, his lips were drawn into a line, and his face was cold and hard.Can't see what he's thinking.

Cheng Jin was stunned, thinking of Cheng Yihe's special protection and love for Cheng Lin when he was a child, he guessed that Cheng Yihe probably misunderstood that he was abusing Cheng Lin.Quickly explained: "Brother, you also know that my brother has a good personality, he..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the operating room suddenly opened without warning, and a nurse shouted, "Cheng Lin's family!"
