atypical dependency

According to Ji Yi's notice the night before, Xiao Yi contacted the insurance company the next day to deal with the remaining matters related to post-disaster losses and claims.Regarding the email matter that Xiao Heng inexplicably appeared yesterday, Xiao Yi also asked his assistant Ji Yi to handle it together.

In his spare time at noon, Xiao Yi went to the hospital every Thursday to visit the family he had been silently paying attention to.

Yan Tian followed Xiao Yi to stand in the corridor, watching the old man in the ward patiently help the aunt on the bed to feed her, his considerate and gentle appearance inevitably caused Xiao Yi's serious expression outside to melt into ice.

It was also a sunny day, and the bright light at noon peeked in from the window, casting a touch of life into the dimly lit ward. The aunt's face was filled with a faint happy smile, and the old man pursed his lips, whispering to her in a low voice. While reaching out to help her brush the broken hair falling from her forehead behind her ears, the picture is very harmonious.

Yan Tian noticed that the expression of the boss beside him was also very bright, but for some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be some unrecognizable emotion hidden in the other's deep eyes.

The two of them stood like this in the corridor for 20 minutes. Just as Xiao Yi was about to leave Yan Tian calmly like before, there was a discordant blunt sound from a heavy object in the next ward.

Xiao Yi casually glanced at the source of the sound.

Looking at the closed door, Xiao Yi frowned, recalling that this ward was Wei Zhuoyan's mother's ward.

Sideways eyes exchanged glances with Yan Tian, ​​who was also curiously looking over there beside him. Xiao Yi stood where he was and didn't hear any more sounds. Worried that Wei Zhuoyan's mother might stumble and fall again, he walked to the door with a solemn expression. Side, out of politeness, did not look in from the upper glass, but knocked on the door cautiously.

Standing by the door and waiting for more than 10 seconds, there was still no movement inside, so Xiao Yi couldn't help but poked his head out of the window to look into the room.

As soon as his line of sight fell, he raised his eyebrows in surprise——

By the window, a middle-aged woman was lying on the ground, motionless.

Without any further hesitation, he pushed down the doorknob and quickly rushed into the door, squatting beside her and calling out, "Auntie, are you alright?"

The woman on the ground showed no signs of waking up.

Xiao Yi turned his head towards Yan Tian, ​​who was stupidly by the door, raised his finger and pointed at the emergency call button beside the bed, and sternly said, "Quick!"

Only then did he get a shock like an electric shock, Yan Tian immediately rushed to the bedside and pressed the call button, not long after, several nurses rushed in and knelt down beside Xiao Yi to check on Mother Wei's situation.

A few women with thin arms and thin legs wanted to lift the bloated middle-aged woman to the bed, but the process was obviously a little slow. Standing on one side, Xiao Yi, who was standing tall and tall, immediately squatted down obediently, hugged the patient and passed away. Get up, carefully put on the bed.

The nurses looked very serious, nodded to him and immediately started treating him.

Xiao Yi retreated to the door, frowning and staring at the nurses who were in front of them, with a very gloomy expression.

Yan Tian's face was sallow, apparently he had rarely seen such a scene, and it took him a long time before he said in a daze: "Auntie, what's the situation...?" By the way, he looked around the corridor of the hospital, and he said worriedly , "Is Captain Wei not here?"

Xiao Yi seemed to have just swam through the Dead Sea, his face was extremely gloomy at this moment, the air pressure was very low, and Yan Tian didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The two waited on the corridor for a long time, and they didn't feel relieved until the situation of the people inside stabilized.

Xiao Yi asked a few nurses about the situation, and understood that Wei's mother had a sudden heart attack. If it wasn't discovered in time, the situation might be very dangerous.

And when the nurse began to ask Xiao Yi if Wei's mother had a history of heart disease before, Wei Zhuoyan's figure appeared at the corner of the corridor.

The other party was carrying two full plastic bags, and his face was still stained with the joy of being soaked by the bright sun outside. He strode towards this side, but when he looked up and saw a few figures standing at the door, his originally cheerful face gradually collapsed. .

After only a few seconds of brain analysis, he quickened his pace, gradually turning into a trot, and approached the door of the ward.

When he saw Xiao Yi, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but before he had time to ask further questions, he cut straight to the point and said in a serious and low voice: "What's going on?"

The nurse saw that Wei Zhuoyan who was suddenly approaching without a trace hadn't realized what was going on, her questioning eyes jumped on Wei Zhuoyan and Xiao Yi, and she seemed a little confused.

Capturing her hesitation, Xiao Yi nodded and explained to her: "He is the patient's son."

Hearing this, the nurse was a little surprised, with a look of questioning "Huh? Isn't her son you?" on her face.

It was too late to say anything else, Wei Zhuoyan looked anxiously into the ward, and wanted to step in sideways, but the nurse who was much shorter than him immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, and spoke in a persuasive tone : "Sir, you wait outside for a while, let the patient rest before going in."

After being persuaded like this, Wei Zhuoyan, who was carrying two plastic bags, couldn't rush in forcefully, so he lowered his eyes, looked at the calm eyes of the nurse wearing a mask, and nodded his head.

"Thanks to this gentleman." The nurse glanced at Xiao Yi and explained to Wei Zhuoyan, "If he hadn't discovered that your mother had a heart attack and fainted in time, the situation would have been very dangerous."

A look of surprise flashed across Wei Zhuoyan's face.

He glanced sideways at Xiao Yi, who just stared at the nurse calmly, with no extra expression on his face.

"Okay, thank you, I see." After politely talking to the nurse, he watched several nurses withdraw from the ward one by one. He stepped into the ward lightly, and carefully placed two large plastic bags behind the bedside. , and looked worriedly at the sleeping mother on the bed before turning around and withdrawing, closing the door smoothly.

The man in the dark long coat has been leaning against the wall of the corridor, looking at him intently. This time, Wei Zhuoyan directly met the other's dark eyes, and walked to the window not far from the other side with a complicated expression to lean against.

The patients on the promenade went back and forth, and many of them staggered forward holding on to the infusion pole.

Yan Tian watched the two dark-faced men over here for a long time and no one spoke first, so he found an excuse to wander to the corner toilet and slip in.

Stretching out his hand to pinch his eyebrows, Wei Zhuoyan seemed extremely tired. After a long sigh, he turned to Xiao Yi, his voice was low and hoarse but he could hear the sincerity: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for my mother's business."

Xiao Yi glanced sideways at him, and then slowly continued: "Wei team is polite, it should be." He believed that any passer-by who found out about the other party's mother at that time would help.

After hearing his words, Wei Zhuoyan turned to look at him.

Xiao Yi didn't avoid his gaze, but nodded calmly at him.

"Mr. Xiao came to the hospital to see the employees?" Wei Zhuoyan thought of the women who were injured in the other company not long ago.

"...Not really." Xiao Yi's eyes wandered to the ward next to Wei's mother's ward.

Wei Zhuoyan nodded and didn't ask further questions.

He turned around and pressed his elbows against the window sill, looking at the rare steamed bun clouds in the sky outside, he sighed again in a weary way.

The side face of the other party seemed to be clouded suddenly, and Xiao Yi even felt that he was gradually receiving that sense of exhaustion laced with frustration, so he was silent for a while before speaking again: "Captain Wei, did auntie have a history of heart disease before?"

Wei Zhuoyan turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yi: "Yes." Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, he stretched out his hand from the corner of his forehead to his lips, making his entire face pale, "She said just now that she really doesn't want to eat the food from the hospital anymore, let me Go down and buy some." With a wry smile, he lowered his eyes, "It would be fine if I didn't go down."

Thinking of how serious the consequences would be if Xiao Yi hadn't discovered it in time, Wei Zhuoyan broke into a cold sweat.

"Captain Wei doesn't need to blame himself for these things—" Xiao Yi's tone was very official, but his eyes were unusually bright, as if he was about to burn through the slack man beside him, "After all, you couldn't possibly know that such a thing would happen. occur."

"I'm a negligent son." Wei Zhuoyan put one hand between his eyebrows, "The number of times I can see her is not many, and her safety cannot be guaranteed when I come."

Xiao Yi looked at the man who blamed himself, and the expression on his face gradually faded away.

The other party leaned slightly on the edge of the window, the frown between the brows was very sharp, like a deep valley that could not be smoothed out, but at this moment, there was a rare worry on the usually serious and rigid face, and the side face reflected in the bright sun looked very fragile.

As his gaze deepened, Xiao Yi had an inexplicable strange impulse at that moment——

He moved closer to Wei Zhuoyan, covered the other's shoulder with one hand and patted it, the palm of his hand stayed on the wide shoulder of the other, allowing the warmth to penetrate a little bit: "You are busy with work, and the nature is also special, I believe Auntie will understand."

Feeling the strength of Xiao Yi's palm, Wei Zhuoyan glanced sideways at him, and there was a faint brilliance in his dark eyes.

Meeting Wei Zhuoyan's gaze, Xiao Yi pursed his lips towards him.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly withdrew his hand covering Wei Zhuoyan's shoulder, and inserted it into his pocket without showing any emotion, his fingertips tightened slightly.

The moment he touched the other party, he could feel the fierce scream from his fingertips to his heart——

I really want to take him into my arms.

Wei Zhuoyan was taller than him, and he could even imagine the other party's obedient appearance as he bowed slightly and curled up on his chest because of his strength.

He couldn't help turning his head to the side. He concealed a somewhat stiff expression, and simply looked at the end of the corridor without making a sound.

Wei Zhuoyan kept looking sideways at Xiao Yi, he understood that the other party probably said these comforting words to him out of politeness, but he had to say, these words were indeed useful.

Ever since this man appeared in his life, he always brought him some new cognition.

And it was delivered frequently in a way that he couldn't explain clearly.

There have been many unofficial meetings, but for some reason, Wei Zhuoyan always feels that there is always an inexplicable force pulling him in front of this man—urging him to have a deeper relationship with this man in life Generate more intersections.

Xiao Yi has been looking sideways at the end of the corridor right now, not knowing what he is researching.

Wei Zhuoyan stared at each other unconsciously for a while, and understood that if he didn't want to make the meeting between the two of them feel inexplicably awkward, he should tear up this official and rigid way of communication first: "Has Mr. Xiao eaten yet?"

Xiao Yi turned to look at Wei Zhuoyan.

"I—" pointing to the door of his mother's room, Wei Zhuoyan explained, "I bought a few meals just now, if you don't mind—" After a pause, he suddenly thought of the place where the two had dinner last time, secretly thinking like A man of Xiao Yi's status would probably disdain to eat boxed lunches he bought on the street with him in the hospital, but out of the desire to express his gratitude, he still bite the bullet and continued, "—let's eat together."

Quite surprised by Wei Zhuoyan's invitation, Xiao Yi reacted, and said directly: "Will this not bother you?"

Hearing the other party's words, Wei Zhuoyan directly thought that the other party was probably refusing, so he smiled awkwardly and shrugged: "No—but if Mr. Xiao has something to do, then—"

"If I don't cause you any trouble—" Xiao Yi smiled cheerfully at Wei Zhuoyan, "No problem."
