"Dog!" Xiang yelled, and she hurried over to help the husky, who was already cold all over. "Dog, dog." Xiang patted Husky's face anxiously, "Tell me what happened, and we will solve it together. Tell me."

Husky let out a few heavy breaths, she stared at the front of her eyes, and clenched her back molars. "It's okay." Husky squeezed out a word between his teeth, and she let him go. She sat against the wall and clenched her cold hands. "President, can you lend me your Skype? I need to call my mom. Thank you."

Lian Lian hurriedly nodded, used Husky's mobile phone to Skype, and dialed Lao Li's number, "It's okay, dog, you have to believe, Auntie is definitely fine."

Husky waved her hand, her mind is very empty now, she no longer knows what she should do, what she can do.The phone was finally connected, "Mom." Husky called out.

"Shiqi." The voice on the other side was not Lao Li, but Husky's cousin, the son of Old Li's elder sister, his voice was very soft, "Auntie, I just fell asleep."

"How is grandpa?" Husky asked.

"Grandpa..." The voice on the other side paused, "Grandpa is gone..."

Tears flowed from her eyes in an instant. Husky raised her left hand and bit on the bandage. She was completely speechless and could only hang up the phone.

"Dog, dog." Xiang hurriedly took Husky's hand out of his mouth, the bandage was deeply dented, "If you want to bite, I'll get you an apple to bite."

Huskies hugged each other tightly, unable to say anything.Xiang didn't know what to say, so she could only keep patting Husky on the back and comfort her silently.

After a long time, Husky let out a big sigh of relief. She let go, wiped away her tears, leaned against the wall helplessly, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Dog, dog." Xiang looked at Husky softly and anxiously, and she sat next to Husky, "Tell me, what's wrong with grandpa."

"Let's go." Husky let out a sigh of relief, looking at the ceiling blankly, "Go."

Xiang patted Husky and hugged her, not knowing how to comfort her.

"My mother said that grandpa had a heart attack." Husky sniffed, and she looked at Ermin's lip print on her left hand, "heart attack. He must be angry, you know, his body is very OK."

Xiang sighed and responded gently.

"I wasn't there when grandma left. I wasn't there when my brother and sister got married. This time," Husky sneered, "my grandpa left, and I can't go back either."

"That's because we are all outside." Xiang said, "Grandpa will definitely understand."

"Yeah," Husky snorted, "Grandpa loves me so much, he will forgive me for everything I do." Husky let out a heavy breath, "But, I just want my family to live in peace. Everyone is well. , there is no such a bunch of shit."

Startled, she immediately looked at Husky and shook her head in disbelief, "No, Husky, you can't do this, you're not fair to her like this."

Husky looked at the face and trembled, she knew that Husky had made a decision. "Husky!" Xiang shouted, "It's not her fault! It's not your fault either!"

"I know." Husky calmed down. Although her head was still a little dizzy and she couldn't think about anything, she knew what she was doing.Husky's voice was very flat, "But I just want my life to return to peace, instead of falling apart like it is now, and smashing my brains in front of me. I know that when I encounter difficulties, the two should discuss and solve them together, but... …In the past, I could analyze where there might be difficulties and how to solve them. However, in this kind of life now, I don’t know what else I will encounter.”

Looking at her, he sighed softly.

"Okay." Husky gritted his molars and smiled softly. She touched the face with her left arm, "Stop sitting here with me, go and do your work."

"I didn't accompany you." Xiang shrugged his nose, "I'm also missing my grandfather. I'm his half granddaughter."

Husky gave a low laugh, and she nodded. "Yes, every time my grandfather cooks, I ask you if you want to come to our house for dinner."

"At that time, you still thought that I robbed your grandfather."

"That can't be my fault." Husky spread his hands, "When he came to pick us up after school, he gave you five chestnuts, but only gave me four."

"He gives you the best every time."

"But he gave you the best one."

"You're stupid and don't know how to peel it, so blame me."

"Then he still rides with you in the carriage in the merry-go-round."

"You said yourself that you want to protect us on a horse alone, and you must have your grandfather ride in that carriage."

"That time when I met someone in the community, they said that he was so happy and had twins, but he didn't deny it."

"Hey, Husky! It was my grandpa that time! I haven't looked for you yet! Grandpa gave you the medal!"

"That's because I won the first place in the city, and he encouraged me to make persistent efforts."

"He bought you bear head ice cream and three-color cups, and I'm not allowed to eat them!"

"That's because you had braces on."

"He, he even told you stories!"

"That's because you don't have the slightest interest in his war stories."

Xiang sighed softly, "I miss my grandpa."

Husky paused, and she looked at her shoulder, "I can lend you my shoulder."

Xiang shook his head, "Too short."

Huskies choked a little, "Then I'll lend you that grandpa's medal for 5 minutes? I keep it with me."

"Oh, grandpa gave me all the medals left."

"Then what did you just say!"

"Hey Hey."

Side by side, Husky and Xiang leaned against the wall, sitting on the carpet and chatting about their childhood.Time passed slowly, and Ermin's interview was over.Husky picked up the phone and glanced at the time, then let out a sigh of relief.Xiang also looked at her, patted Husky's knee, got up and walked out of the room.

Husky flipped out the address book, looked at Ermin's phone number in front of her, couldn't help but chuckled, then sighed and shook her head.Let's settle this matter, don't procrastinate.

Husky pressed the call button, and Ermin quickly answered the phone, "Honey, the interview ended 5 minutes early! I'm on my way to your house now. Which vegetable don't you want to eat tonight?"

The husky closed her eyes, and she pinched her thigh fiercely with her left hand, her leg hurt and her hand hurt.Do I have to tell Ermin this kind of thing when she is so happy?if...if again...

"Husky, baby, talk to me." Husky's long silence made Ermin nervous, "What happened?"

Huskie took a deep breath, and she opened her eyes again, constantly interrupted and disturbed by it.

"Ermin," Husky swallowed, her heart beating so fast, she tried to keep her voice from shaking so much. "let's break up."

There was silence for a long time, so long that Husky could calm down his heart by counting Ermin's breaths unintentionally.

"Husky, I'm still 5 minutes away from your house, let's talk."

Husky closed his eyes, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Husky heaved a sigh of relief and hit himself on the head with his mobile phone.Husky stood up hard, she went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, then washed her face, adjusted her clothes, and then went out the door.Even if you want to break up, I want you to see the best version of me, so that you won't regret having a relationship with me.

The black suburban stopped in front of the Husky apartment a few minutes later, but Ermin didn't get off.Husky stood in front of the iron fence, she was silent, watching Ermin in the passenger seat slowly applying lipstick and makeup.

After more than ten minutes, Ermin finally came down. She closed the door and walked to the right side of the husky, leaning against the iron fence like the husky. "Can you give me a reason?"

"I want peace in my life," Husky said.

Ermin was silent, neither she nor Huskies spoke any more, they just quietly watched the sunset in front of them.This time it is really, the scenery is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk.

After a long time, Ermin moved slightly, "Then, I wish you good luck with your application." After she finished speaking, she got in the car and left.

Husky watched the black suburban disappear before his eyes, turned around, and punched the iron fence.Blood slowly flowed down the fingers, but Husky didn't feel any pain.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Lao Li called Husky, "Mom." Husky leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and called softly.

"Shiqi, mom doesn't have dad."

Husky gritted her teeth, she didn't know what to say. "Mom, don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Baby." Lao Li called out, "Your father..."

"Mom." Husky let out a long breath, "No matter what you decide, I will support you."

"Honey, mom knows you're good. But mom doesn't have a dad anymore, and mom can't let you have no dad."

"Lao Li. I'm over 18 this year, and I can take care of myself. I have a father or not. Let me decide. Just this once, Mom, think for yourself. Believe me, Mom, everything will go back to normal. "

"Baby, mom knows you are good. Mom will think about it. Mom is going to prepare for grandpa's funeral. You must take good care of yourself."

"I see, Mom." Husky said softly, "You have to take care of yourself too."

After hanging up the phone, Husky leaned back in his chair and looked at the street outside the window, and would go back to the past.
