After the plane arrived, Yao Lu took a taxi to the hospital. As soon as he entered the ward, Yao's mother walked up to him, and the mother and son hugged each other immediately.

After her mother's mood stabilized, Yao Lu asked her about the specific situation. That night, Yao's mother was still in bed with her. Yao Lu went home to pack her luggage and rested a bit. The next day, she arrived at the hospital early. After having breakfast with her mother, she went to the doctor to understand her condition.

"There must be sequelae." The doctor said, "The specific situation will not be known until the patient wakes up, but your family members must be mentally prepared."

Yao Lu hummed, and asked other details, such as when he could be discharged from the hospital, etc., then returned to the ward, and relayed the doctor's words to his mother, and the two stayed until the evening rounds. Stay and guard your father.

Two days later, Yao's father finally woke up. As soon as he saw Yao Lu, he began to cry, but he could only call him by his nickname inarticulately.

After a careful examination, the doctor found that Yao's father suffered severe brain damage, and his intelligence, language, and physical functions were all unsatisfactory, so the mother and child were given vaccinations in advance. The recovery from stroke is a long-term process, and the patient's family members often have to pay a lot of hardships. .

Yao Lu asked the doctor about the specific recovery measures, and the doctor explained one by one in terms of diet and drug treatment, and at the same time emphasized that the patient should be allowed to move around more often, which is conducive to alleviating symptoms.

After talking like this for a long time, the doctor finally emphasized: "Stroke patients are most afraid of a second stroke! After the first stroke, within five years, the incidence of the second stroke is more than 30%. Once the second stroke is difficult to rescue, You must always take precautions!"

Yao Lu nodded heavily, and said, "Understood, thank you doctor!"

Then he stayed with him for another two days. After receiving consecutive calls from colleagues in the company, Yao Lu knew that he had to return to Hangzhou to work.

Lin Shen sent a lot of text messages this week, and Yao Lu replied all of them perfunctorily, probably because he felt that he was busy, and Lin Shen didn't call.

Yao's father will stay in the hospital for another half month, so it is impossible for Yao Lu to continue to ask for leave from the company, so he booked a return ticket, asked a male nurse to help, and flew back to Hangzhou in a hurry on Sunday afternoon.

At noon on Monday, Yao Lu was taking a nap at his desk. A text message from Lin Shen arrived. After a whole week of work, Yao Lu was exhausted and depressed, so he dismissed him on the grounds that he was tired and wanted to rest.

That night, Lin Shen sent a text message asking for a video, but Yao Lu could not find a reason to refuse, so he had to log in to QQ. After the video was connected, Lin Shen saw the person he had been dreaming of appearing on the screen, and his heart was full of joy, wishing to get in immediately. Hug, kiss.

"Lulu, I haven't contacted you for a week, I miss you so much." Lin Shen said.

Yao Lu hummed, but didn't speak, Lin Shen immediately sensed something was wrong, so he leaned closer to the screen, looked at his expression carefully, confirmed that something must be wrong, and asked: "Lu Lu, your complexion and spirit don't look very good , is there something wrong?"

"No!" Yao Lu denied, "You can see so clearly through the screen?"

Lin Shen nodded, and said seriously: "No matter what is the distance, as long as you are unhappy, I can tell at a glance."

Hearing this, Yao Lu stared at the keyboard and said guiltily, "Nothing really."

Lin Shen stared at Yao Lu. At this moment, he was suddenly a little dazed. Fragments of memories were looming in his mind, as if he had returned to that afternoon after school. She poured out her fears to him.

Thinking of this, he said softly: "Lulu, do you remember the past? No matter what happened back then, as long as you tell me, I will help you solve it. Have I never let you down?

Yao Lu didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Lin Shen said again: "It's the same now, no matter what it is, whether it's troublesome or unhappy, you can tell me, don't I often tell you some unpleasant things to you? I will be in a good mood after I say it, so Tell me about your troubles, too, okay?"

Yao Lu looked at Lin Shen, hesitated briefly, and whispered, "My dad had a stroke last week and is still in the hospital."

Lin Shen was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately asked, "When was last week? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Last Saturday." Yao Lu replied, "I was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. I didn't know until my mother called me on Sunday."

Lin Shen tilted his head slightly, and looked at him for a long time. Yao Lu's face obviously showed a trace of guilt, and then he recalled what happened last week from the beginning to the end, and instantly understood, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Lulu!" He said in a deep voice, "You came back last week, didn't you?"

Yao Lu suddenly froze, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Well, I will go back on Sunday."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Shen asked.

Yao Lu evasively said: "I think there will be a lot of things to do when I go back, and I don't know what's going on with my dad. I'm afraid to tell you, you..."

Lin Shen interrupted coldly: "Are you afraid to tell me that I will go to you without knowing what to do? Haunting you?"

"I never thought about it that way!" Yao Lu defended, "I just feel that telling you won't be of any help, and I won't be back in a few days." As he spoke, he carefully peeked at Lin Shen, and when he saw him, With a blank face, he immediately said pitifully, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to hide it from you."

In an instant, Lin Shen's anger dissipated, and then he sighed heavily in his heart, thinking that he would be eaten by this person for the rest of his life!If Yao Lu's attitude is tough, he still has the strength to fight back and resist one or two, but once Yao Lu softens, just saying sorry can make him throw up his armor and surrender.

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you." Lin Shen reassured.

"Aren't you angry?" Yao Lu asked softly.

"I'm not angry." Lin Shen said, "I'm just annoyed that you don't trust me."

When Yao Lu heard this, he immediately wanted to clarify a few more words, but was interrupted by Lin Shen immediately, and then said lovingly: "Okay, Lu Lu, I assure you, no matter what your reason is, I will not give birth to you Don't worry about this, you are good!"

Yao Lu hummed. Seeing that he had calmed down, Lin Shen hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Is your father going to ask for help after he is discharged from the hospital? Can your mother do it alone?"

Yao Lu replied, "I hired a male nurse to help take care of me all day."

"Is the money enough?" Lin Shen asked, "Isn't this kind of nurse cheap?"

"My parents still have more than 10 savings, which should be enough." Yao Lu said, "If it is not enough, I can pay for it. My current income is not bad."

When Lin Shen heard this, he smiled and joked, "Your income is not bad, so why can't you afford a house in Hangzhou?"

Yao Lu looked embarrassed, and argued, "The housing prices here are too expensive!" Then he changed the subject and said in a low voice, "Besides, I don't want to buy a house here."

"Oh? That's it!" Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you thought about settling down in Hangzhou?"

"I didn't think so far." Yao Lu replied, so Lin Shen asked again: "Have you thought about coming back?"

Yao Lu thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I haven't thought about it either."

Lin Shen: "..."

"I'm a little sleepy." Yao Lu said, "I want to sleep, I'm too tired these days."

Only then did Lin Shen realize that Yao Lu must have been exhausted after traveling [-] kilometers and taking care of his father for a whole week, but he dragged him to talk for so long, and felt guilty and distressed, so he quickly asked him to hang up the video and go to bed sleep.

Half a month later, Yao's father was discharged from the hospital. His speech was still poor, but it was better than before. He had to be supported by two people to walk, otherwise he would fall down. So Yao Lu asked his mother to buy a wheelchair so that his father could move around at home.

Two months later, Yao's father was able to go downstairs with the help of one person and a cane, but his speech was still vague. Yao's mother felt that the nursing staff was too expensive, so she dismissed the nursing staff when she saw that she could barely take care of her husband. After knowing it, she was very angry and argued with her for a long time, but Yao's mother insisted on her own opinion and thought that she could handle it alone.

During this period, there was no progress in the relationship between Lin Shen and Yao Lu. Considering the current situation, Lin Shen never sent a video to tease him again.

Since Yao's father fell ill, Yao Lu has been worried and absent-minded. Lin Shen often fails to reply to his text messages, and he is listless on the phone, let alone video, so the relationship between the two has stagnated at the stage of neither being a friend nor a lover.

After the nurse left, Yao Lu noticed from time to time that his mother was unable to do what he wanted. Several times, when he and his mother were talking on the phone, his father would make a scene, and his mother had to hang up the phone in a hurry. There was the sound of something breaking.

Yao Lu saw his mother working so hard, and thought that he was wandering in Hangzhou, and couldn't even afford a down payment for a house, and then thought that he and Lin Shen were living in such a different place, and it would not be a problem to maintain their relationship only by communication, so he resigned and went back to his hometown thought.

Yao Lu's labor contract expired on July 7. The company had already prepared a new contract and sent it to him, asking him to sign it after thinking it over. Yao Lu was hesitant at this time, wondering whether he should resign and return Home.The economy of my hometown is far inferior to that of Hangzhou. Although the profession of accounting is required by every unit, it will not be changed frequently. If I go back, I may not be able to find a suitable job for a long time.

However, if he continues to stay, the contract will be signed for five years. If he breaks the contract during the period, he will have to pay high compensation. Yao Lu thought about it, he neither wants to get married nor have children, let alone find a boyfriend. In this way, he will be wandering alone What's the point of being in Hangtown?

Just when he was in a dilemma, a call from the landlord made him finally make a decision.

The landlord said on the phone that he wanted to sell the house, and he had already handed over the keys to the intermediary. In the future, no matter whether Yao Lu was in or not, the intermediary would bring people in to see the house at any time. Yao Lu was very dissatisfied with this, and argued that he would always pay the rent on time and keep the right to use the house. It belongs to the tenant, and no one has the right to enter the door without the permission of the tenant.

The landlord was not happy immediately, and said arrogantly: "Everyone is like this, and I am not alone! Why are you the only one who has so many things? If I knew it, I would not have rented you."

"Why do you talk like that?" Yao Lu said angrily, "It's obviously your fault!"

"Why am I wrong?" The landlord immediately raised his voice and said loudly, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you, isn't your due date on the 20th of next month? You can move out when the time comes, I won't rent You're a piss!" He hung up the phone angrily,

Yao Lu was even more furious!

Since graduating from university, this is the third time he has been forced to move due to the landlord. Once again, he has deeply realized how inconvenient and irritated it is to be adrift in a foreign country, without a house of his own, and to depend on others!

You have to move with just one call from the landlord, or bring someone to look at the house every three days. When the house is rented to you, you ask a lot, and when you return the rent, you are picky. The continuous moving makes Yao Lu exhausted physically and mentally, and then he completely breaks his desire to stay. thought.

Now that he has made a decision, Yao Lu immediately took action, first submitting his resignation letter to the company, and then agreeing a check-out time with the landlord.

The resignation process went very smoothly, the company did not embarrass him, and it was approved quickly. The two parties agreed that they could resign early after the work was handed over. There was no need to wait until July 7th, so Yao Lu finished work on the 15th, and immediately set a date for the evening of the 9th. Air tickets, just wait for all the expenses to be settled with the landlord, and leave with the bag.

On the morning of July 7th, the landlord came to do the handover. As expected, after a lot of flirting, he managed to withhold part of the deposit. Yao Lu was too lazy to argue with the landlord, to be precise.

After everything was handled properly, Yao Lu took the airport bus to the departure hall. After checking that it was still early and the boarding pass exchange counter was not open, he sat in the Starbucks in the departure hall, ordered a cup of coffee, and took out his laptop , connect to the network, and pass the time.

He stared at the computer screen and couldn't stop thinking about it. Recently, he had little contact with Lin Shen. After submitting his resignation letter, he has been busy with handing over work, packing luggage, and checking in. During this period, the two of them only occasionally sent text messages, made a few phone calls, and even video Not at all, Lin Shen is still in the dark at this time, if he finds out about his resignation after returning home, he will probably be angry and annoyed again.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and sent Lin Shen a text message: [What are you doing? 】

But after a while, Lin Shen replied: [Lu Lu, why did you take the initiative to send me a message today?I am really happy!I'm in the company, what's the matter? 】

Yao Lu: 【Can you surf the Internet?I want to have a QQ video with you. 】

Lin Shen came to the company to reconcile accounts today, and sat all morning. He was exhausted, and Yao Lu's sudden text message refreshed him instantly.

According to their usual practice of getting along, Yao Lu never took the initiative to send him any messages, make phone calls, let alone video, and it was still in broad daylight, so it was very strange to think about it.

Lin Shen rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, and wondered if something happened?As soon as he thought this way, he felt a sudden shock in his heart, and a horrifying scene could not help appearing in his mind. Yao Lu solemnly announced to him in the video: Lin Shen, I have a girlfriend now, please don't contact me again .

Thinking up to this point, Lin Shen's throat tightened immediately, he swallowed, and replied cautiously.

Lin Shen: [Lu Lu, do you have anything to say to me?Why do you need a video? 】

Yao Lu: [Well, there is something I want to tell you, and I want to tell you face to face. 】

Have—something—say?To-face-to-tell?

Lin Shen only glanced at it, and suddenly his hands and feet became cold, his whole body trembled, and he thought it was over!How can this be fixed?I want SHI!

Trembling, he typed and replied: [Lu Lu, what's the matter, do you have to say it face to face? 】

Yao Lu held up his mobile phone, staring at the latest text message, confused, wondering what happened to this person today?It's a bit strange!Normally, she was crying and shouting to have a video with him, but now she took the initiative to ask for it, but she was so pushy?This is not normal!Is it inconvenient?But what's so inconvenient that you don't want to video?Didn't you say that you are in the company?

When Yao Lu thought of the company and the inconvenience, his heart suddenly twitched, and he thought to Lin Shen that he wouldn't... be with that kid now, right?Two people are in the company's office, the doors and windows are closed, like this, like that?It's broad daylight, so it's not...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt suspicious, and at the same time his heart became more and more heavy. After thinking twice, he sent another text message.

Yao Lu: 【Are you really in the office?Did you lie to me?you alone? 】

Lin Shen: [Yeah, why did you lie to you?I will check the account today. 】

Yao Lu: [Then why do you push three blocks and four blocks when I talk about video? 】

Lin Shen: [I don't have it? 】

Yao Lu: 【Forget it!You don't have to deny it anymore, I know it's inconvenient for you, it's okay, don't say it. 】

Seeing this sentence, Lin Shen panicked, immediately logged into QQ, and sent a video invitation to Yao Lu, but after a while, a small video window popped up from Yao Lu's computer screen—it was Lin Shen, he pursed his lips, The corners of his mouth curled up, and he clicked to accept.

"Lu Lu, where are you?" Lin Shen asked in confusion when he saw the background behind Yao Lu.

"I'm at Starbucks." Yao Lu replied.

"Starbucks?" Lin asked in puzzlement, "What do you do in Starbucks if you don't go to work in broad daylight?"

"I don't have to go to work anymore, I quit my job."

"What?"

"I'm at the Starbucks at the airport." Yao Lu raised his voice and said, "I'll be on the plane later, go back to my hometown."

Lin Shen: "..."

Lin Shen opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He just blinked, with a disbelieving expression on his face. Yao Lu had never seen him look so stupid. He felt cute, and then explained with a smile: "I said I resigned." , I’m going to fly home today, and I’m going home to find a job.”

After a long time, Lin Shen finally came back to his senses, stared at the person on the screen who was thinking day and night, and said in a low voice: "Lu Lu, you are really good today, give me a big surprise!"
