back from trouble

Half a month later, Xiaokang's funeral was finished, and his ashes were buried in a certain national cemetery in city b. The level was very high and there was no time limit.But what's the use of this, the Sri Lankan people have gone, and there is nothing left to pay tribute to.

In the past half month, many people laughed at Kang's former students who came to help. Opel was undergoing closed training, but he took the risk of getting a major demerit and flew back in the afternoon. He stayed for two hours and flew back in a hurry.He didn't say much comforting words, just hugged and smiled when he left.

Shu Yan also received many calls from colleagues and friends of Xiaokang, who expressed concern and condolences, and offered to help.For half a month, before six o'clock every day, Xiao Cheng and Shu Yan woke up automatically and started to deal with various things, such as issuing obituaries, contacting funeral companies, renting venues, arranging funeral procedures, and the most difficult thing, Notify Xiaokang's best friend before his death.

These complicated tasks are not necessary but have to be done. Probably the real meaning is to help the survivors dilute the sadness in their hearts.Xiaocheng knew that her mother was a big blow. She met Xiaokang when she was studying abroad.She has been stable and magnanimous all her life, and has hardly experienced any disturbances.Two days after Xiaokang passed away, she almost had a nervous breakdown.

So Xiaocheng must be strong.

He was the only man in the family and had to take responsibility instead of wallowing in grief.

He has to take good care of his mother, so that Xiao Kang can feel at ease.

That day, he and Shu Yan sorted out the photos of Xiao Kang during his lifetime, trying to find the most energetic one to use on the day of the funeral, but as soon as he opened the album, Shu Yan burst into tears.

The first photo in the album is when they got married.

Laughing and letting out a long breath.

Suddenly remembered what Xiao Kang once said, "What are you doing hiding? It's not that I haven't experienced your age. Back then, your mother and I..."

"Mom," he restrained his voice, moved Shu Yan's palm away, and turned over the first few pages, "These photos, let's look back after a long time." Beside us.

But this sentence, he couldn't say it.

Because he knew that this comforting sentence could not comfort Shu Yan, nor could it comfort himself.

The movement that had been standing still with a smile started to move again, and put a piece of clothing into the suitcase.After storing it, he suddenly became irritable, threw the remaining few pieces in, turned around and walked out, and walked to the door of the master bedroom——

Shu Yan fell asleep, but the door was open.

Xiaoben wanted to speak, and told Shu Yan to let him stay for a while, but suddenly his nose became sore and he couldn't speak.

When Xiaokang was not at home, Shu Yan would never close any door other than the main door in the house, just to hear Xiaokang coming back when Xiaokang opened the door.Over the years, even if the two quarreled to the point of divorce, it never changed.

Xiaocheng suddenly raised his head and walked back quietly.

He sat on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his knees, and suddenly buried his face in his palms.

If it wasn't for Shu Yan's insistence, he would not be willing to rush back to school now anyway.But no matter what he said, Shu Yan did not agree.

Let him have to go back and continue his studies.

From childhood to adulthood, his mother was a typical Jiangnan lady who had received advanced education, gentle as water, but extremely assertive.

She always supported Xiaocheng, but this time, Xiaocheng couldn't hold back him.

Smiling and sitting for a while covering his face, his phone vibrated.

He wiped his face to calm himself down before picking up the phone—it was Wei Shaoge.

For the past half month, Wei Shaoge rushed over early every day to help him deal with various trivial matters.All kinds of things happened during this time, and they hardly spoke a few words.Just eye contact.

Xiaokang passed away suddenly, and the research project had to be interrupted and put on hold, and the researchers originally transferred from the laboratory also returned to their respective posts.It stands to reason that Wei Shaoge should also go back to S University, but he didn't, almost staying with him every step of the way.

He also bought a plane ticket for tomorrow, and went back to city S with Xiaocheng.

Xiaocheng picked up the phone, Wei Shaoge said he was coming over now, and asked him if he had eaten, and he brought something to eat.It was only then that Xiao Cheng remembered that he and Shu Yan hadn't eaten a bite since morning.

Wei Shaoge arrived soon, carrying a rather large bag in his hand.As soon as the door opened, he looked carefully at Cheng Cheng's expression before walking in. Shumen Shulu put the food on the dining table, took the bowls, chopsticks and plates from the kitchen, and put the dumplings he brought in.During this process, Xiaocheng stood aside and watched quietly.

Wei Shaoge finished, and asked him, "Where's Auntie?"

"She's sleeping, mom, she hasn't slept well for several days." Xiaocheng pressed his forehead, and was suddenly pushed lightly by someone, and then pressed on the chair.

"Then you eat first, and I'll buy some after Auntie wakes up."

Xiaocheng also lifted the chopsticks.

Wei Shaoge watched him eat from the opposite side. After a while, he stood up and brought a glass of water to his left.

Laughing naturally, he picked it up and took a sip.

After so many days, he was almost used to it.

The other side's help, care, support, and consideration.

Also, physical touch.

"Isn't it just because I didn't come here in the morning that you can forget to eat?" Wei Shaoge frowned slightly, "It's too worrying."

Smiling, he glanced at him and gave a brief "hmm".

Wei Shaoge looked at him for a long time, then smiled again, "It's okay." He whispered, "I'm here."

After eating a few dumplings with a smile, he raised his head, "I know." He said flatly.

In the evening, when Shu Yan woke up, Wei Shaoge went out to buy food immediately, and smiled as he waited for Shu Yan to change clothes, and couldn't help but say again, "Mom, I'll stay for another week."

Shu Yan shook her head.

Xiaocheng went into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for Shu Yan, his parents have this habit - wake up and drink a cup of coffee to refresh themselves.

In the past half a month, Shu Yan and Wei Shaoge have become very familiar. Shu Yan has a good feeling for Wei Shaoge, and Wei Shaoge has been busy during this time, and Shu Yan is also very grateful.

After Xiaokang left, Shu Yan seldom spoke, and she and Xiaocheng seldom talked.But Wei Shaoge was a guest after all, and he helped a lot.When the smile came out, Wei Shaoge was sitting on the sofa talking with Shu Yan, his mother's expression was a little more vivid, and he smiled a little.

While talking, Wei Shaoge helped put the food out of the box.He also bought two more desserts.Smiling, he looked at the other party in surprise, he didn't know how Wei Shaoge knew his fucking preferences.He walked over to sit next to Shu Yan and passed the coffee.

Shu Yan took it and took a sip, just as Wei Shaoge bent down to arrange the box and put the chopsticks in front of her.Shu Yan couldn't help but said, "It's like having an extra son."

Wei Shaoge smiled.

Smiling and moving his eyes, he changed the subject without a trace.

He ate with Shu Yan and talked for a while, and Shu Yan became a little tired.She hasn't been in a good mood recently, but she often suffers from insomnia. It would be a good thing if she can get sleepy.

Shu Yan went upstairs to rest, and he and Wei Shaoge were left in the living room.He was about to say something when the phone rang, and it was a call from City S, who wanted to ask him for instructions.I went to the study to pick it up, and hung up after talking for a while.

During this period of time, he hardly had time to take care of those businesses, and he had a backlog of things, so he had to go back and deal with them himself.He kicked the bridge of his nose, a little tired.

"Sleep for a while if you're tired." Wei Shaoge walked in.

"It's okay." Xiaocheng said, "Have you dealt with everything?"

"All right."

"Shall we set off together tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Laughing and thinking for a while, "Why don't you stay here tonight, and we'll leave together tomorrow."

"Okay." Wei Shaoge said, "Then I'll go pick up the luggage right now."

"Well," replied with a smile, and when the other party was about to turn around, he couldn't help asking again, "Didn't Professor Williams say anything to you?"

"What are you talking about?" Wei Shaoge didn't understand. "Is it something about the experiment? It may continue in March next year, or it may move to the United States. It's not sure."

"Did he invite you to ... go on, or something?"

"Oh...he seemed to mean it, but I refused."

"Rejected?" Cheng Xiaocheng looked strange.

Wei Shaoge's voice suddenly lowered, "Mmm".

"Why," Xiao Cheng frowned, "this is a rare opportunity."

Wei Shaoge shook his head suddenly, as if he wanted to pass the topic with a casual attitude, "Hey, how can you say these things accurately?" Then he turned around and prepared to go back to pick up his luggage.

As a result, he was grabbed by the arm, "Shao Ge, what's going on."

He could feel the urgent force on his arm, as well as the voice of the other party who was a little puzzled and concerned.

He didn't turn his head, but turned his head to the other side - a direction where he couldn't see his expression clearly with a smile, "If I agree to Williams' invitation, I will probably go to the United States, and it will be a long time. He He also hinted that I could enter his laboratory and be his student."

"Isn't this great?" came a voice behind him laughing into confusion.

Stabbed him hard.

It directly shattered the embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.

As soon as he moved his arm, he turned around and looked directly at Xiao Cheng with a calm and profound expression.

He said briefly and emphatically——

"But I want to be with you more."

Surprised.

He didn't know what to say.

Wei Shaoge obviously didn't want to hear what he had to say.

He turned his head and went out.

Smiling into a slight frown, the brows gradually relaxed.

For the first time, a little perplexity and...confusion appeared on his face.

Life always has to go on.

No matter how insurmountable the barrier in front of you is, you will eventually step over it, even if you cannot help yourself.So you have to make sure that you don't make yourself too painful during this process.

When Xiaocheng walked out of the airport, the mentor drove over to pick him up in person.

Although there is business, there is also some worry.

Xiaocheng's mood is very stable, except that the smile on his face is much less.His demeanor is calm, his manner is restrained, his speech is tactful, and he is thoughtful.Not the slightest bit of weakness.

The instructor had prepared a lot to say, but suddenly he couldn't say a word.

It's not that he doesn't need it.It's that he feels he can't say it.

Especially not to say any words of sympathy and pity.

He must fully respect Xiao Cheng.

And laughing is worth it.

Wei Shaoge stayed by his side silently all the way until the instructor drove the car under the house.

He smiled and thanked him, and didn't say anything polite, just set a time for the next meeting with the instructor to talk about serious business, and then bid farewell to the other party.

Wait until the car is gone.

Wei Shaoge asked Xiaocheng, "How do I get back to school from here? It feels a little far away." He glanced at the direction of the dormitory building from a distance, feeling a little distressed.

"You want to go back to the dormitory?" Xiao Cheng was slightly surprised, "Why didn't you just say that? I can ask the boss to send you in."

"That's your mentor?" Wei Shaoge asked.

Smiling and nodding, "It can be regarded as a partner. You don't have to be too polite." After waiting for a long time to hear this sentence, Wei Shaoge let out a regretful "Oh".

Then immediately he heard the next sentence——

"Otherwise, you can go up with me first, and you can sleep here tonight." Xiao Cheng asked, "How is it?"

He raised his eyebrows, and immediately smiled a little, "Just tonight? Can you extend the deadline."

Then he heard the other party answer without hesitation, "Okay."

Immediately froze.

He was just talking, but he didn't expect Xiao Cheng to agree.

Probably because of his dumbfounded expression.

Laughing seemed to be a faint smile.

Wei Shaoge took a breath, "Do you really agree?"

"It's not you who said," Xiaocheng looked at him, "do you want to stay by my side?"

It's like a feather falling on the heart lake, creating circles of water waves.Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Wei Shaoge's slightly long eyelashes trembled slightly, "I always keep my word."
