Wait till the sun rises

"Have a cup of tea." Bai Ling pushed the steaming white porcelain cup over, and the aroma of tea leaves wafted from the steaming steam.

Sitting opposite Bai Ling was an old man with gray hair, but his body looked very tough. Although he was thin, his mental state was much better than when they first met, and his cheeks were also rosy.

"The cake here is not bad, try it." Bai Ling said, calling the waiter and ordered two cakes.

He was dressed very casually, with a pair of plain glasses on the bridge of his nose, soft eyes, and a smile on his lips.When he speaks, he speaks in a soft voice, like an old friend who is familiar with him, and will not make anyone wary.

The old man is sitting in a correct posture, but even so, his back is not straight. The years have not only engraved traces of vicissitudes on the old man's appearance, but the invisible places inside are also quietly changing, for example - the rickety shoulders and back .

The expression on the old man's face was very relaxed, even with a smile on his face. He had been meeting with this young counselor for the past few days, chatting with him, and listening to him answer his doubts.

The old man liked this young man very much. His eyes were peaceful and wise, and he was about the same age as his grandson. There was no gap in the chat. Under his gaze, the old man calmly said something that had troubled him for a long time. question, and this young man did not show the slightest surprise or discrimination, his mouth was always smiling.

The old man picked up the cup and took a sip of the green tea in the cup, then put the cup down and said, "Doctor Bai, I'm sorry for your inconvenience these few days."

"You don't need to be so polite, just call me by my name." Bai Ling looked around with a smile and said, "The environment here is good."

The old man smiled and nodded.

Bai Ling said, "You seem to be in a good mood."

"Yes." The old man nodded again. He looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the pedestrians on the street. The sunlight outside the window was just right. After watching for a while, the old man said, "I've been out for a while, and I miss my grandson, Doctor Bai." , old man, I’m here to say goodbye to you, thank you very much for your care these days.”

Bai Ling stared into the eyes of the old man, and smiled after a while: "I am honored to be able to help you."

The old man smiled and waved his hands, and said, "It's my honor to meet Dr. Bai."

In fact, coming to Bai Ling's clinic was completely by accident. He was going to another well-known psychiatrist. It was recommended by a friend. It is said that he is very powerful and can solve many problems.

The old man asked someone to find the address of the house, but the big city was full of twists and turns. The old man lost his way among the tall buildings and entered Bai Ling's clinic by accident. At first, the old man saw that Bai Ling was very young. , quite distrustful.But at that time, he had been walking around for several hours, his mouth was dry and he was very tired.

Bai Ling poured him a glass of water, and the old man sat down to rest, unconsciously expressing his confusion.

·

The phone rang, interrupting the old man's thoughts. He picked up the phone, and Lao Wang's voice came from there.

"Old Xia, where are you?" Without waiting for an answer, Lao Wang lowered his voice and said: "Your grandson is here, I just told him that you have been playing with us chess friends these days, Don't let it slip. But, I said, Lao Xia, what have you been up to these days, you are so mysterious."

"Oh, let's talk about it later." Lao Wang whispered, "Your grandson wants to talk to you, Lao Xia, don't let it slip, just say that you went to a bookstore, ah, remember."

Lao Wang also seemed to be irritable, and he changed his phone as soon as he finished speaking.

Grandpa Xia listened quietly while holding the phone, and then said with a smile: "It's too boring, come out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while, don't worry."

"Oh, oh, Xiao Xu is here too? Don't pick it up...well, the address is..."

Grandpa Xia hung up the phone, and Bai Ling, who was sitting across from him, put down his fork, wiped his lips with a tissue, and said to the old man, "Is it your... grandson?"

Grandpa Xia nodded, touched the white porcelain cup with his thin fingers, feeling a little emotional: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss him."

Grandpa Xia seemed to be lost in memories, and the chatterbox opened up, he said: "Yangyang's parents passed away early, I brought him up with my own hands, we have been together all the time, he also lived at home when he was in college, and never Separated from me for more than a week... that child is very sensible and has always been concerned about my feelings..."

Bai Ling listened quietly. Grandpa Xia babbled on a lot, with a somewhat helpless but more loving expression on his face, he said: "...this child has suffered a lot and looks very soft-tempered, but I know The stubbornness in his bones, if you know it, it's hard to pull it back, but this kid loves to think too much about others..."

"Doctor Bai, you're quite right." Grandpa Xia said softly, "Homosexuality is not that scary, it doesn't matter whether he likes a man or a woman, the old man, doesn't he just want the children to be happy and happy? He likes it." What he wants, what he wants, how can a grandfather not understand him, and support his reasoning."

When the old man said this, he had a smile on his face. Looking at that loving smile, Bai Ling's eyes were a little sour. He seemed to see the shadow of his grandfather in this old man.

Bai Ling pushed his glasses with his hands, bent his lips, and said hesitantly, "...can I visit you when I have time?"

Seeing the old man looking at him puzzled, Bai Ling explained: "I just think you are very kind and remind me of my grandpa."

"Of course." Grandpa Xia smiled and said, "My grandson is about the same age as you. Of course I am very happy that you can come to see me."

While talking, the phone rang, Grandpa Xia picked up the phone, announced the name of the coffee shop he was in, hung up and said to Bai Ling: "Yang Yang is here, Doctor Bai, can I treat you to lunch?"

Just as Bai Ling was about to speak, he saw two handsome young men pushing open the door of the cafe and walking towards his position one after the other.

One of them was the person I followed and struck up a conversation with not long ago, and that person even let him go...

So the old man's grandson is this young man?Bai Ling pushed his glasses with his hand and smiled, he remembered that this person was called Xia Yang.

Looking at Xia Yang's face, Bai Ling couldn't help feeling that this world is really too small.
