Wait till the sun rises

The next day, Xu Jiming and Xia Yang came to the hospital to change shifts with cooked rice porridge. Although Han Ling looked tired, she still cheered up in front of the two children.

Seeing the food box in Xu Jiming's hand, he laughed: "You know how to deliver food to us, it's not in vain to hurt you. What is it? Let me see."

Xu Jiming said, "It's porridge."

Han Ling said, "Is it for grandpa?"

Xia Yang smiled and said, "We have brought a lot, both you and uncle."

Han Ling smiled at Grandpa Xia and said, "Look, Uncle Xia, Lao Xu and I are in your favor."

Xia Yang asked: "Grandfather, can I eat?"

Han Ling: "Well, you can have some liquid food. Come, do you have a spoon?"

Xia Yang hurriedly said: "Auntie, you can eat, and grandpa will feed it." Xia Yang sat on the bedside with the porridge bowl, stirred the rice porridge with a spoon, and whispered to his grandpa, "How do you feel? Eat something, okay?" good?"

Grandpa Xia followed Xu Jiming with his eyes, but Xu Jiming turned his face away and did not meet the old man's eyes.

Xia Yang said softly: "Grandfather, open your mouth and eat some."

Grandpa Xia slowly turned his head to the side and closed his eyes.

Xia Yang persuaded in a low voice, and Han Ling said: "Maybe he has no appetite, Yangyang, you put it away first, and wait until he wants to eat."

Xia Yang hummed, put away the porridge with some frustration, and frowned. Han Ling patted his shoulder to signal him not to worry.

But soon they found that Grandpa Xia refused to eat. No matter how Xia Yang and the others tried to persuade him, he closed his eyes and remained silent. He was fine for one day, but after two or three days, Xia Yang became very anxious.

Although full of worries, Han Ling and Xu's father returned to Longcheng City because of work matters. Xu Jiming asked the company for leave and stayed in City B.

Because Grandpa Xia refused to eat, the ward had been gloomy and gloomy. The doctor came to see him a few times, scolded Xu Jiming and Xia Yang severely, then sat on the bedside with his hands in his pockets and talked a lot with Grandpa Xia. Finally His mouth was dry, but Grandpa Xia didn't listen at all.

The doctor could only drag Xia Yang into a conversation with Xu Jiming, saying that the patient was too old to maintain his physical fitness with drugs, and he still had to eat.

Xia Yang had a sad face, and felt that his grandfather was afraid of dragging himself down, so he ended his life in this way. He sat in front of Grandpa Xia's hospital bed all night, talking to him, telling him that he couldn't do without him, but Grandpa Xia seemed determined.

After the past few days, the grandpa and grandson are all physically and mentally exhausted.

At noon that day, Xu Jiming told Xia Yang that Grandpa wanted to eat and asked him to go out and buy.

Xia Yang just came back from the bathroom and was shaking the water from his hands. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked at Grandpa Xia, while the old man looked at Xu Jiming. After a long time, he nodded slowly under Xia Yang's expectant gaze.

Xia Yang breathed a sigh of relief and almost ran out of the ward.

Xu Jiming watched him leave, then gently closed the door and locked it.

He walked to the bed very slowly step by step, looked at the old man's old and sick face, and said, "Grandpa, I promise you, break up with Yang Yang."

The old man's expression changed, and he looked at Xu Jiming.

Xu Jiming squatted down beside the hospital bed. He held the rough and thin hand of the old man and put it on his face, and said softly: "Grandpa, although I don't know why you changed your mind, I promise you, I will follow you." Yang Yang broke up."

"Grandpa, you asked me in the neighborhood that day if you could be firm and determined to stay by Yangyang's side for the rest of your life, and I said..."

Xu Jiming's voice was hoarse and slightly choked with sobs. He lowered his head, rubbed his cheek on the back of the old man's hand, and said, "I said, I can, I can persevere, and no matter what happens, I will be by your side." By his side, but now, I am willing to break up with him..."

"Not because I don't love him enough, but because I love him enough."

Grandpa Xia's eyes were moist, and he wiped away the tears on Xu Jiming's face with his thumb, but more and more.

Xu Jiming turned his face away, took a breath, and continued: "Same, I love you too, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

The old man had an extremely distressed look on his face, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes. He looked at Xu Jiming and opened his mouth to cry silently.He was crying so sadly, and anyone who looked at his grief-stricken expression would feel pity in his heart.

Xu Jiming continued: "Since I was a child, every time, every time we disagree, you always compromise, and you retreat again and again. But this time, I surrendered. Grandpa, I surrendered."

"You must know how important you are to Yangyang and me, right?"

Grandpa Xia nodded.

Xu Jiming grinned, wiped away the tears on the old man's face with his hands, and said in a coaxing tone like a child: "When Yang Yang comes back, how about something to eat?"

The old man nodded again, and Xu Jiming breathed a sigh of relief.

The ward fell silent again.

Grandpa Xia stared at Xu Jiming, gently scratched his palm with his nails, Xu Jiming looked over, the old man opened his mouth and tried to make a sound, his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I'm sorry."

Xu Jiming held the old man's hand and said after a long time, "Grandfather, I want to know the reason."

The old man slowly withdrew his hand and closed his eyes, which was a silent rejection.

Xu Jiming stared at the side face of the old man, and asked softly, "Did someone say something?"

Grandpa's big reaction, is it because someone in the neighborhood discovered his relationship with Xia Yang?

Xu Jiming thought it was impossible. When he and Xia Yang went back to rest this time, the neighbors in the community looked at them as kindly as usual, and many people who had good friends with Grandpa Xia came to ask about the situation of the old man.

Xu Jiming couldn't ask the reason, so he could only sit where he was.

Soon Xia Yang came back with the food he had bought. Because of the fast running, his breathing was a little short, and there was even fine sweat on the tip of his nose.

Xia Yang pushed open the door and said: "It's past dinner time, I ran a long way to find it." He walked in while talking, and keenly felt that the atmosphere between Grandpa and Xu Jiming in the room was different. He glanced at his grandfather, then at Xu Jiming.

Xu Jiming couldn't see anything strange on his face, he took the thing in Xia Yang's hand, opened it to take a look, and said, "It smells so good."

Seeing that he was no different from usual, Xia Yang raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "That's right, it's not a waste of time to travel so far."

Grandpa Xia drank half a bowl of boiled rice porridge to save face. Although he didn't eat much, Xia Yang looked at it with joy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Seeing Xia Yang's happiness, Xu Jiming became more and more silent.

Xia Yang found that Xu Jiming started smoking again.

When Xia Yang found Xu Jiming again on the lawn in front of the hospital, he had already finished smoking half a pack of cigarettes and was lighting a cigarette.

new ones.

Xia Yang reached out and took out the cigarette, held it in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Jiming shook his head slowly: "It's okay."

Xia Yang was suspicious: "Is it really all right?"

Xu Jiming hummed again, and said, "Grandpa must be hungry, I'm going to buy porridge." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Xia Yang stayed where he was and frowned at him, feeling uneasy for some reason.

Xu Jiming strode out of the hospital. At the door, he happened to meet Chen's mother who was visiting. He stopped, and Chen's father and mother greeted him warmly when they saw him.

Xu Jiming wiped his face, forced a smile, and said, "Uncle, aunt."

Father Chen stared at Xu Jiming with a straight face, but Mother Chen enthusiastically pulled Xu Jiming aside to talk.

"Siming, when are you planning to get married? Have you discussed it with your parents?"

Xu Jiming was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that the matter between him and Chen Ruolin hadn't been explained clearly.

Seeing him in a daze, Chen's mother let out a sigh and said, "Didn't Linlin tell you yet?"

Xu Jiming was puzzled: "Tell me what?"

Chen's mother patted Xu Jiming's shoulder with a smile, and said, "You are going to be a father."

Xu Jiming felt dizzy for a while, and he asked, "You, what did you say?"

Chen's mother repeated: "You are going to be a father, are you happy? You said Linlin is a real child, why didn't she tell you about such a big thing?"

"Auntie, wait a moment." Xu Jiming waved his hand, "I'll make a call first."

Father Chen snorted coldly.

Xu Jiming walked aside and dialed Chen Ruolin's phone. As soon as the other side answered, Xu Jiming asked, "Sister, are you pregnant?"

silent.

Then came Chen Ruolin's roar from the phone: "How did you know? Xu Xiaoming, are you spying on me?" The ending almost turned eighteen corners.

Xu Jiming wiped his face and said, "I met my aunt, she told me about it."

Chen Ruolin patted her forehead and said, "You must have seen the pregnancy test stick I threw in the trash can."

Xu Jiming asked: "The child's father..."

Chen Ruolin said angrily, "I don't know."

"I……"

"I'm not losing my temper." Chen Ruolin said weakly, "I really don't know, but according to the hotel staff, I'm tall, rich and handsome, but I drank too much, so I don't remember."

Xu Jiming: "...how long?"

"After Valentine's Day, February NO.15."

"Then, what are you going to do?"

Chen Ruolin was silent again, Xu Jiming said, "Are you looking for the father of the child?"

"Don't be stupid." Chen Ruolin smiled, "Places like bars are just for fun."

"Then you too..."

Chen Ruolin was angry: "I'm not, my old lady has guarded herself like a jade for so many years...don't let me meet that bastard, or I'll kill him."

Xu Jiming asked: "Do you want to destroy it?"

This time Chen Ruolin was silent for a longer time, Xu Jiming said: "I will marry you."

Chen Ruolin laughed loudly: "I don't care, but will your comrade Xiaoxia let you go?"

This time Xu Jiming was silent.

"Hey, no, Xu Jiming, isn't something wrong with you? Where's Xiaoxia?"

Xu Jiming said softly: "Let's settle this first, let's talk back." Before finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for a series of questions from Chen Ruolin.

When Xu Jiming walked into the hospital with the food, the setting sun hit the white walls of the hospital, as if they had painted a warm red paint.

He saw Xia Yang sitting on a bench in the garden from a distance, with the wind blowing, Xia Yang's fine hair fluttered with the wind.Xia Yang hit Xia Yang's handsome side face, reflecting a faint pink color.

Xu Jiming was suddenly in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the same afternoon when he and Xia Yang first met, the sun was setting and the sky was full of rays of light.

He walked over quickly, Xia Yang originally lowered his head, but suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something, and the eyes of the two collided.

Xia Yang got up from the bench and strode up to meet him, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Xu Jiming took a step forward, and hugged Xia Yang fiercely. Xia Yang raised his hand and slowly put it on his back, and whispered, "I think you're a little strange these days."

"No." Xu Jiming buried his head in Xia Yang's neck, greedily breathing in his unique refreshing breath.

Passing patients and family members cast curious eyes on them.

After a long time, Xia Yang took a step back, at this moment Xu Jiming let go of his hand.

He pinched Xia Yang's cheek with a smile, and said, "I bought your favorite dish, and I'll make it for you when I get home."
