together for a moment

Bro..." Nick sniffed, "Haven't you slept so late?"

"Well, I just took a nap. I dreamed of a corn stand in front of the high school. You said I was hungry, but I searched inside and outside my schoolbag and found no money. I woke up when I got nervous." Lian Jueliang said with a low smile: "I wanted to call you when I woke up, but when I dialed out, I realized it was already very late."

"What a coincidence, I just took a nap." Nick said with a smile.

"Okay, go to bed if you have nothing to do, and keep warm." Lian Jueliang said in a low voice.

"Brother," Nick paused, clenched his hands and then relaxed, "Do you know any reliable nurses?" After asking, I regretted it, and felt that I was in a panic. How could I ask such a down-to-earth question to the general manager of a listed company? Then he changed his words: "Well... I just asked casually, don't worry about it, the hospital can also find a nurse for you."

"A few friends of mine hired nurses for the elders in the family. The evaluation was very good. Let me ask for you." Lian Jueliang said immediately.

"Oh..." Hearing what he said, Nick felt a little hopeful, "Thank you, it would be best if you can find someone who is experienced and reliable."

"I'll get back to you tomorrow," Lian Jueliang said, "Go to sleep."

Nick cut off the call and stared at the phone screen in a daze. The picture on the screen is of the Taj Mahal in the morning light. Touching the little man with his fingertips, he really wanted to walk into the photo and stand side by side with him.

Early the next morning Nick was huddled on the folding bed and yearning for sleep. In the dream, he accompanied the concert. The rhythm was out of order, and then he reluctantly opened his eyes with a tsk.

"Mr. Du? I'm the nurse introduced by Mr. Lian. My surname is Liang." A woman in her [-]s stood beside the bed, bent over and introduced herself to him.

"Hello, hello," Nick sat up immediately as soon as the quilt was lifted, and he struggled to activate the circuit in his mind: "You just said...you were introduced by Mr. Lian?"

"Yes, people generally call me Sister Liang. I have been a nurse for ten years, and I am especially experienced in taking care of patients who have been bedridden for a long time after stroke." Sister Liang has a ruddy complexion and a healthy body. She looks quite energetic. She glanced at her and was still asleep. Mama Du said, "I just took a look at the old lady, and the sound of breathing sounds like there is phlegm in the lungs."

Nick briefly talked about his mother's current situation. Sister Liang carefully wrote it down in a small notebook, and gave feedback on what he should pay attention to in terms of care every time he heard a symptom. He also brought some small props to massage the patient, which felt very reliable. .

The chat was almost over, Nick was fully prepared and asked a very important question: "Sister Liang, how do you calculate your fee?"

"I talked to Mr. Lian about this part, you don't have to worry." Sister Liang said straightforwardly: "He told me that your working hours are not fixed, so let's leave your mobile phone number, if you come back late or adjust Tell me the time, and I will try my best to cooperate.”

Nick was relieved after hearing these words, exchanged numbers, and after clarifying some things that should be explained, he walked out of the ward and called Lian Jueliang.

"Brother," Nick rubbed the hem of his clothes with one hand, and said sincerely, "Thank you for introducing Sister Liang, then what... I should pay for the nursing expenses."

"It's still in the probationary period, the most important thing is to see if she is suitable," Lian Jueliang said calmly, "As for the money...Although I don't want to bring up this past, but Pianpian, I want to replace my father's methods back then. Make amends, even though I know no amount of amends will be enough."

"I haven't thought about that for a long time," Nick chuckled, "One size is one size, no matter what the previous generation does, I will always recognize you as brother."

Lian Jueliang was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I don't want to be just your brother."

"One day you will let it go," Nick pursed his lips and looked at his watch, "Stop talking, the doctor is about to come for a consultation, so let's do it first."

With the back support settled, Nick can make money at the front line with confidence. Companies with good performance in the end of the year spend a lot of money. The end-of-year party is similar to a concert. There are even cars as prizes. Nick’s accompaniment band has performances every night, and the income is quite good. In addition to the performance fee, there are extra red envelopes from time to time. The only trouble is that every day it is close to the time of the new day. go home.

Tonight is a fun party for an American investment company. Foreign companies like to organize some activities for employees to have fun with their relatives and friends, which is called family day.The content of the party is suitable for the whole family. It starts with a few funny dramas, then exchanges gifts, and sings English songs on site.

At the end of the party, the host opened the last song on demand. There was a round, chubby foreigner who was quite happy, and he took the stage with his female partner and smiled. He picked up the microphone and said in English: "Today It's our [-]th wedding anniversary, and I'd like to order a classic old song: "Fivehundredmiles", thank God for allowing me to meet her on a journey of self-imposed exile when I graduated from college."

This song only needs a guitar as an accompaniment. Nick sat at the back of the stage with the violin on his lap, watched the backs of the couple interlocking their fingers, listened to the familiar melody, and thought about his own thoughts.

How deep is the fate to meet in the vast sea of ​​people, how lucky is to spend 20 years with the lover.

Foreign couples sing songs, sometimes look at each other and sometimes smile. There is not only love in the eyes, but also many emotions that can only be matured with time, like family, like best friends, like loyal ministers, like traveling companions, like the destination of the soul, because there is such a pair Only by keeping your eyes focused can you ride the wind and waves in a chaotic world where truth and falsehood are difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and you can still feel that this life is not in vain despite all kinds of setbacks and dissatisfaction.

The party ended in a very warm atmosphere. The employees had a drink, embraced each other and left by car with their families.The sky was drizzled exclusively for this season, and Nick called Sister Liang with his piano case on his back. After calculating the distance, it would take four to five or 10 minutes to ride from the venue to the hospital.

Don’t worry if the piano case is waterproof. Nick was riding a bike in a jacket, and the cold wind and drizzle hit his face like cold needles.He squinted his eyes to see the road ahead, and hummed the song "fivehundredmiles" just now.

Missing that I usually don't have time to take care of is flooding at this moment, and the water droplets that scratched my face are both cold and hot.

He remembered that at that time they were sharing the Taj Mahal, which was gilded with gold by the setting sun. When the dusk was heavy, Zhao Yimu would lean on his shoulder to rest when he was tired. They relied on each other between heaven and earth, and the beginning of love was always so beautiful.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Nick was speeding up the car like he was vomiting to someone, maybe it was God, maybe it was fate, maybe it was himself who was powerless to everything.

The car rushed into the tunnel with a bang, and there was no rain in the tunnel, but his face was still wet, and the water droplets were intertwined, like scars.He told himself that he could only be weak for the distance of a tunnel, and he was still invincible after going out.

Before leaving the tunnel, Nick lowered his head and wiped the blurred corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, so that he didn't see a small pothole on the ground. The high-speed tires trembled and skidded, and the car went straight to the roadside separation island. The extremely strong impact caused him to briefly leave the earth's surface, approach the sky in a graceful arc, and fall heavily to the ground again.

Before Nick lost consciousness, two faces floated in his mind, and there was a fishy sweetness in his mouth, but he didn't have the energy to speak.

I don't know if there is still a chance to say I love you

"Hiss—" The sharp paper scratched his finger, and Zhao Yimu took out a piece of tissue and held it down to stop the bleeding.

Today, he has been restless for no reason since early in the morning, probably because he didn't sleep well last night. He has been sleeping lightly and dreaming a lot these days. Sometimes the past appears in his dreams, and sometimes wishes are reflected. When he wakes up, he is always melancholy.

Zhao Yimu stared at his fingers in a daze, trying to find a reason for his restlessness, but the ringing of the phone on the table interrupted his thoughts.

"Mr. Zhao, there is your visitor downstairs." The lady at the counter on the first floor informed him.

"Okay." Zhao Yimu got up with a work letter. These days, some customers learned that he was leaving the company, so they would come here to chat and say hello.

This time, however, it wasn't the client.

"Hi, long time no see." Lin Xiaopei was standing in the lobby on the first floor with two cups of coffee. When he saw him coming, he smiled and handed him one of them.

"Why are you free today? Are you on vacation?" Zhao Yimu hadn't seen Xiaopei for a while, and when he met again, he felt like smiling away all grudges. He took the coffee and beckoned her to sit in the reception room beside her.

"Look at how long we haven't seen each other, you don't know I changed jobs, right?" Lin Xiaopei said with a smile.

"Change jobs? Where do you want to go?" Zhao Yimu took a quick look at her, and found that Xiaopei was wearing light clothes, and his hair was cut neatly. His whole temperament was different, as if he was much more cheerful.

"The previous supervisor left the company to do it himself. He planned to set up an office in Hong Kong and needed an assistant. He asked me if I would like to go." Lin Xiaopei brushed his hair, took a sip of coffee, "I agreed after thinking about it for 3 minutes. Yes, I will leave for Hong Kong after Chinese New Year.”

"Your family agrees to you going?" Zhao Yimu thought of her strong mother.

"Now I have a self-filtering system for their opinions, and I will let the opinions that are not nutritious be passed through my ears. I just listen to them, and I will decide what to do." Lin Xiaopei said with a smile.

"You seem to be different. You actually went so far away from home." Zhao Yimu looked at her and smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Going to Hong Kong...do you want to see him again?"

"Well, I want to see him. But maybe he has already made a new love there, and nothing can be changed after meeting," Lin Xiaopei said, with firmness in his usual gentleness, "but I don't want to have any more regrets."

"I wish you all the best," Zhao Yimu sincerely wished her.

They drank coffee and chatted like long-lost friends. Zhao Yimu was finishing the work at hand and was not busy at all.

"You... did you come here on a special trip to find me today? Or do you have an appointment with Zongpei?" Zhao Yimu asked.

"I heard that you are leaving your job," Lin Xiaopei hesitated, and said, "Is it because of my brother?"

Zhao Yimu suddenly remembered what happened on the bank of the river that day. Lin Xiaopei was also there. She must have seen him and Nick. Although he didn't think there was anything shameful, he was still a little embarrassed when facing his ex-girlfriend.

"It's not entirely because of your brother. I have been rushing forward all the time. I took this opportunity to stop and think about what kind of person I want to be." Zhao Yimu replied.

"I came to you to apologize for my brother." Lin Xiaopei put away his smile, "I'm sorry, his life has been smooth, and many things are centered on his own ideas. If he thinks it's right, he won't allow others to doubt it, and if he thinks it's wrong, he won't listen to it. I’m really sorry for causing you trouble with someone else’s explanation.”

"Haha, it's none of your business," Zhao Yimu laughed, and the embarrassment disappeared immediately, "I'm very glad that you came to see me, you are a very considerate friend, I will treat you to dinner at noon."

"No, I have an English training course in the afternoon, and I will meet many foreign customers in my new job. I have to pick up my English." Xiaopei stood up with her bag in her hand. She gathered her clothes, raised her head and smiled at Zhao Yimu: "So Mu, I wish you happiness."

"Because I don't know when we will meet next time, I want to send my best wishes before I leave." Xiao Pei was a little moved by what he said, and the corners of his eyes sparkled, "By the way, say hello to Xiao Du for me. "

"Xiao Pei, thank you." Zhao Yimu scratched his head and sighed helplessly, "Actually, I haven't seen him for a while. My mother was very angry that day and asked us to calm down and not contact each other for two months."

"Auntie must be very hard to accept, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Pei seemed to think of something, tilted his head and asked, "Did Xiao Du also change jobs? A few days ago, a friend wanted to buy a house. I put Xiao Du's I gave her my business card, but when she called the company to ask, they said he didn’t do it.”

"Didn't do it?" Zhao Yimu yelled in surprise, his brows furrowed immediately, "Impossible, how could I not do it if I was doing well..."

"If I were you, I would secretly make a phone call and then delete the record. No one would know. You can't be too obedient on the road of pursuing happiness, understand?" Lin Xiaopei instructed him in the tone of someone who has experienced it, "I'll go It's over, don't send it away."

She patted Zhao Yimu's arm cheeringly, and then strode towards the gate.

After Zhao Yimu stood in place and watched her leave, he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket. He wanted to hear Nick's voice, right now, but after a long dial tone, only a standard female voice replied to him: The number you dialed It is currently shut down, please play again later...
