One side attacks, the other justifies.

On the Internet and in reality, the Ukrainian and Canadian media are arguing.

Also on this day, in the best local general hospital in Madrid, the German experts hired by An Zexian for Johnny finally made the final preparations before the operation.At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon at 04:30, Johnny was sent to the operating room.

Outside the door of the operating room, except for An Zexian, who didn't need to stay here and didn't know what he was up to, he was not there.James Joyce is here, An Yi, who has a heart for friends, is here, and even Cindy Celaya, who rushed to Barcelona to shoot commercials immediately after participating in the grand prix finals performance skating, made her extremely annoyed After doing chores, he rushed back day and night.

As the girlfriend of the boy in the operating room who was fighting injuries, she couldn't believe that she was distracted at such a critical moment!

Did her father really hate Johnny that much?Knowing that he was injured and needed support and companionship, Johnny's father was too busy with business to spare.But still at this time, he signed the contract for her.

"...Fortunately, you're here, Louis. If you couldn't even be with him, Johnny couldn't have been so emotionally stable when he was pushed into the operating room just now."

Cindy Celaya, whose face was full of exhaustion, with dark circles under his eyes, and who was obviously in a state of fatigue, cheered up and smiled gratefully at his friend sitting in the opposite seat. His tone was sincere and serious. Thank you for your dedication.

Hearing these words, An Yi rushed helplessly. Joyce, who was dissatisfied with looking over, shrugged his shoulders, waved to the girl, and said that this is what he should do as a friend.In comparison, it is obvious that Joyce and An Zexian paid more.

Of course, Cindy is very clear about what he said, and she has also thought about how to repay the help of these two adults.

She is not a fool, how could she not know what a ruptured Achilles tendon injury means to a figure skater?And this time, the reason Johnny was able to invite him so easily was the German sports medicine expert.At the moment of the news war due to the accidents in the performance skating in Canada and Ukraine, keep the tranquility in front of you from being disturbed by outsiders.There is no doubt that it is all thanks to the strength of Joyce and his good friend's father.

Thoughts in the heart are messy, constantly fluctuating with emotions.An hour, two hours, three hours, time slipped by as Cindy thought, silently praying to God.

At 22:13, when the minute hand jumped into one grid again, it came to 1999:12 in the evening of December 31, 22.Johnny's 'minor surgery', which took more than twice as long as the normal Achilles tendon repair surgery, was finally completed.The three of them who had been guarding the door of the operating room with their hearts hanging in their throats were slightly relieved.Immediately afterwards, he began to care about the condition of Johnny's right foot and asked the German doctor how the operation went.

Maybe it’s all the hard work and good luck, maybe God heard Cindy’s prayer. The German expert who performed the surgery said that the repair of the ruptured Achilles tendon was perfect. As long as the postoperative recovery is proper, Johnny’s right foot has a great chance to recover. As if uninjured.

Joyce, An Yi, Cindy, and Johnny himself were overjoyed when they heard the news, and the haze that shrouded their heads after the accident finally dissipated.Escorting Johnny back to the ward was also talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.

"Johnny, how do you feel? Does your right Achilles tendon still hurt? You don't know how sad I was when I heard the news of your injury. Leonard, how could he do this! He knows me..."

"Oh, good girl, don't cry, my feet don't hurt, really don't hurt."

Stopping and going, returning to the ward area from the floor where the operating room is located, Johnny and Cindy began to express their missing after caring for each other.

Looking at the two friends in communication from a distance, considering that there must be a lot of private things to say between them.An Yi caught up with two steps, and patted Joyce on the shoulder to inform him. Under Joyce's interested eyes, he turned into the hospital elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor, planning to sit in the attached coffee area for a while to pass the time .

However, something happened that he didn't expect.

Just as he stepped out of the elevator and came to the hospital lobby, there was a burst of scattered applause. An old white-haired gentleman in a hospital gown, supported by an old lady who might be his wife, sat down in the hospital lobby to wait for treatment. In the area, in front of the piano for patients to pass the time, with slightly trembling fingers, they played a piece of music full of nostalgia, happiness, and memories.

Hearing this, An Yi's heart trembled, and he forgot the original purpose. He stopped in place and looked at the piano. The old couple who were once very loving, but now they are likely to be separated from life and death, listened to the melody played by the old gentleman , understand the care, reluctance, and comfort flowing from his fingertips...

Feeling sore and unspeakable, I couldn't bear to turn my gaze away, wanting to soothe my mood outside the glass wall next to the piano.But after making this action, I found that it didn't know when it started to rain outside the hospital.The accumulated water on the roads and green areas has long been connected into a vast ocean.

Listening attentively, I don't know how long it has passed, when the sound of the piano echoing in the hall fell, An Yi finally came back to his senses, watching the old couple, accompanied by their children, walk past him.

Sighing with complicated emotions, he lamented the fragility of life, took a slow step, and hesitatingly came to the black piano and stopped.I looked through the glass wall three or four meters away, looked at the rain curtain and stagnant water outside the hospital, closed my eyes and opened them again, trying to let myself let go of my thoughts and not think about anything, but the result was more deliberate and chaotic. The more I want to calm down, the more my heart just can't calm down.

There are many reasons for this situation.

Excluding the small part of the memories that came back after seeing the old couple.Most of the remaining thoughts are related to this life.

For example, friends, training, competitions, next season's program, whether he can jump out of the youth group and enter the adult group, these issues are complicated and practical, so he has to think and think about them.

For example, he wants to be promoted to the adult group next year. The matter of participating in the World Championships will involve conflicts of interest in various aspects, such as the number of entries in the major competitions of the youth group.It is impossible for him to easily get what he wants because he wants to, because the rules of the International Skating Union allow it.

Turning around, shaking her head, and brushing her fingers against the edge of the piano, An Yi was silent for a moment, walked to the front of the piano, and sat down on the piano bench.

Move your fingers slightly, and the moment you press the keys, the melody called "The Mark of Rain" in your memory plays.

The crisp and jumping notes are like raindrops falling from the sky outside.The beauty of life and a touch of sadness are intertwined, making many people passing by him stop and listen attentively.

This is a beautiful piece of music that will definitely be interpreted differently if it falls into the ears of different people.Or sad, or happy, or sweet, or lost.Scenes of stories, whether happy or sad, end with the music staged and reincarnated again and again.

It wasn't until more than four minutes later, when An Yi stopped playing, the music ended, and a broad and powerful hand suddenly fell from his shoulder, that everyone in the hospital hall, including him, found themselves again.As the lingering sound dissipated, he sighed with emotion about everything he had thought just now, and gave admiring applause to the boy who played such music.

"dad?"

Feel the weight on your shoulders and look back in the direction of your palms.An Yi found out that the person who did this kind of behavior was indeed his father, An Zexian.

It's just, why did this person go there before? He didn't see anyone for a few hours, and when he came back, he changed his clothes all over his body.It can't be possible to get wet on the way back, right?This is not quite right either, his hair, the custom-made suit on his body, and the surface of his skin obviously don't even have any moisture.

"...Son, I think you need to make more friends."

"what?"

Just when An Yi was curious about his father's overly formal attire, An Zexian squeezed his son's shoulders with his palms, his eyes with gleam of light fell on An Yi's face, and after looking at it for a moment, he suddenly said.

"How about this, after the Chinese New Year is over this year, Dad will find you a high school, so that you can go to school occasionally in addition to training, and get to know more people of the same age to make adjustments. In this way, you won't have time to think about it, right? Listen What a bad song you played just now! I’m lonely and bored, and I want to find new fun to tell your dad. What are you thinking about all day at such a young age? So sentimental! Where is there a little puberty, a boy who makes trouble all day long The way it should be!"

"..."

Pop, pop, pop.

One hit, two hits, three hits with the giant palm, An Yi wanted to cry, feeling like he was once again defeated by his own father.

Why is he lonely, bored, and looking for new fun, a little bit of musicianship, okay? !

And what, why do you want to find him a high school after the Chinese New Year, he obviously went to high school early... Uh, no.It should be, he graduated with a master's degree early tomorrow, okay, what kind of high school do you still go to?

Doing so not only wastes time and money, but also delays his daily training.

Think he needs to meet more peers and make more friends?

please!As an old man, where did he find out that he was lonely, lonely, and cold.Need to draw warmth from others to warm yourself?
