Xingchuan

End of corridor.

The light in the ward was pale, shining on the thin glass windows that were frozen, and the white frost on the blue glass seemed to freeze your fingers off just by touching it.

"Auntie," Li Xingchuan squatted in front of Ling Suhui, whom he hadn't seen for many years, with a solemn and gloomy expression, "Do you still recognize me?"

Seeing the stranger, Ling Suhui glanced at it, then retreated shyly to the head of the bed.Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were shabby, and her eyes were empty. Anyone who saw her knew that she was a madman.

After Yang Bin took his arms, he pushed the door open, and Shi Shiran walked over, "She doesn't recognize anyone."

Listening to his tone of voice, it seems that Ling Suhui is not crazy but confused, and it is not worth making a fuss at all.

He even smiled: "Suhui, look who's here?"

Unexpectedly, when Ling Suhui saw him, her eyes suddenly frightened within a second.She opened her mouth and screamed twice, then grabbed her neck with both hands, and violently knocked her head against the wall behind.

Bang-bang-bang-!

Yang Bin's expression changed.

"Auntie!" Li Xingchuan rushed forward and hugged her head, "Auntie, don't be afraid! I'm Xingchuan!"

Yang Bin sneered, pulled the chair and sat down, "Brother, don't rush to provoke her. Now she will go crazy endlessly when she hears your name. Anyone who reads it will hate it. If it weren't for me in the past five years I will never leave their mother and daughter, they have already been living on the streets."

After finishing speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xingchuan with a half-smile, to see if he believed it or not.

Li Xingchuan's facial muscles tensed, "She was fine when I left."

"Hey, Ling Yi's bad luck is here." Yang Bin said a set of prepared remarks, "I decided to break up with you, but the photos hidden in the phone were seen by his mother. You said it was a loss." Loss. If I had known this, he might as well go away with you, Suhui’s life or death will have nothing to do with you! Anyway, one or two of you have no conscience at all!”

As soon as the words fell, Ling Suhui, who was in her arms, babbled again.Li Xingchuan shuddered, his heart felt as if a knife had cut him, and he let go of his hand after a while, "Auntie, what do you want? Water?"

Unexpectedly, Ling Suhui suddenly went crazy in the next second, waving her hands indiscriminately and scratching at Li Xingchuan's face, scratching his side face several times in an instant!

"Auntie, auntie!" Li Xingchuan desperately hugged her with both hands, lest she hurt him.

"Tsk tsk, look how much she hates you." Yang Bin gloated and got up and patted his chest, "Instead of thinking about how to ruin me all day long, why don't you think about how to pay off the debts owed to our family so that your conscience will be relieved." Get by!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out humming a song. When he opened the door, he bumped into Nurse Ge who was eavesdropping outside.

As soon as he walked away, Nurse Ge rushed in to treat Ling Suhui's wound.Li Xingchuan sat silently at the side, with his elbows resting on his knees, and his back muscles stretched to form a bow.

"How long has she lived here?"

"It's been five years." Nurse Ge lowered her head to work, not daring to look more closely.

"Who usually comes to see her?"

"There is Ling Yi...and..." Nurse Ge swallowed hard, "That person just now."

"Bring me her file."

Nurse Ge hesitated, Li Xingchuan showed her his ID card, "She is my aunt, I just want to find out who caused her to become like this."

"It's your aunt, why haven't you visited her all these years?"

Li Xingchuan paused, "There are some things I can't get away from."

Nurse Ge checked again and again, and then she dispelled her doubts.

To come to the archives, he lowered his head and took pictures page by page.

"Who pays for the hospitalization?"

"Yang paid for the first three years, and Ling Yi later. But..." Nurse Ge bit her lip, "I haven't paid for it for a month."

"I'll pay for him."

"Who are you?"

Li Xingchuan didn't answer, "I owe her."

"Are you serious? Are you really willing to pay for Ling Yi's mother's hospitalization?"

"Well, take me to the cashier."

Nurse Ge suddenly became happy.It didn't look like it was because the arrears in the courtyard were finally paid, but it seemed that someone was finally able to help Ling Yi.

She led the way with a happy smile, walking all the way and saying: "Thank you, thank you!" After paying the payment, she couldn't help asking: "When are you coming again? Mother Ling really needs someone to talk to her!"

Li Xingchuan bowed his head to sign, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly, "I will come as soon as I have time, so I will trouble you."

Nurse Ge sent him downstairs all the way, and Yuan Yuan was still waving goodbye.Li Xingchuan was walking in the dark night, surrounded by the sound of wind, only the signal tower in the distant mountain was lit a little, as if it would go out with a slight blow.

It was just such a short distance, and he remembered many things.

Thinking of meeting Aunt Suhui when she first met, she was quiet and gentle, she spoke softly, just like Ling Yi now.Thinking of the magnolia tree downstairs in Ling's house, with luxuriant branches and leaves, stretching gracefully into the bedroom window, watching him shamelessly while riding Ling Yi.I think of the Buddhist scriptures my aunt copied and the Sanskrit I listened to.Thinking of that bowl of egg flower rice wine, it was so sweet.

In the cold wind, he wanted to light a cigarette, but he didn't light it for a long time because his hands kept shaking.

Less than a hundred meters away from him, Yang Bin sat in the car and called Li Wei, telling her what a perfect lie he had made up tonight, his face full of complacency.

Li Wei got angry after hearing this: "Who told you to talk nonsense, do you think Xingchuan has no conscience like you? Now he thinks that he made Ling Suhui like this, and it is even more impossible for him to forget Ling Yi in the future!"

Yang Bin hissed and straightened his face: "What's there to make a fuss about? If I can't control your son, I can't control Ling Yi? Let me tell you, if I tell Ling Yi to go east, he won't dare to go west! Li Xingchuan's fucking wishful thinking !"

"Wishful thinking?" Li Wei smiled grimly, "I'm afraid it's not him who is really wishful thinking, but you."

Yang Bin hated someone to expose this matter the most in his life, and immediately flew into a rage: "Li Wei, don't fucking fart! I warn you, if you talk to me like that again, I will get you together!"

Li Wei was not afraid, "Why, you want to bully our orphans and widows as soon as your elder brother leaves? I didn't see that you still have the courage. If you want to eat the bones of our mother and child, you are worthy? I When Dad asked the guards to teach me to shoot, you hadn't even entered the door of the thermal power plant, don't think I'm afraid of you if you put on a wide-brimmed hat!"

Yang Bin was so angry that his face turned purple, and he dropped the phone with a bang.Turning his head, he saw Li Xingchuan coming out, and got out of the car with a long knife.

"Xingchuan wait!"

He wanted to see if he could eat Li Xingchuan's bones.

It was late, the trees were shady, and there were only the two of them in the parking lot.

Yang Bin walked over with a smile: "I forgot to tell you something just now, about Ling Yi."

Li Xingchuan had almost walked to the front of the car, but stopped when he heard the words, "What is it?"

"Come here, I'll tell you." Yang Bin got closer and closer.

Li Xingchuan was slightly vigilant, and in the next second, a white light flashed in front of his eyes——

hiss!

At the same time, Yumin Xinyuan.

"Ling Yi, your phone is ringing!" the roommate yelled loudly.

"Hey, here we come!" Ling Yi came back late from overtime work today, and Ling Yi was making food in the kitchen.Hearing the shout, he wiped his hands and walked out, went back to the bedroom and picked up his cell phone to see that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey?"

"Uncle Biscuit..."

"Little tree?"

"It's me." There was crying in the voice.

"Whose phone are you holding?"

"Auntie's...Uncle Biscuit, can you come and see me?"

"What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

"I'm afraid..." He began to sob.

"Don't cry yet, tell uncle."

There was a pause for a few seconds, and Sister Tian answered the phone, "Mr. Ling, the child insists on calling you, so it's disturbing your rest so late?"

"It's okay, what happened?"

"It's nothing, but Mr. Li hasn't come back yet, Xiaoshu misses his father."

It is past ten o'clock now.

"I originally said that I must return before eight o'clock, but maybe I was caught up in something, and I didn't answer the phone call."

Holding up her phone, Ling Yi turned her head to look at the night outside the window.

Since the last fierce quarrel, he and Li Xingchuan have not been in touch again.After the design draft was sent out, Li Xingchuan did not express any objection, and accepted the plan and budget in full.If Ling Yi still had a bit of backbone, he shouldn't bother with their father and son tonight.

He tightened his fingers: "Maybe there is something temporary, please wait a little longer."

"Ok."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiaoshu cried and snatched the phone, "Uncle Biscuit, why hasn't Dad come back yet? Did Dad not want Xiaoshu anymore?"

Ling Yi's heart, which wanted to stay out of the matter, instantly tensed up: "Why doesn't daddy want Xiaoshu? Xiaoshu sleeps obediently, and daddy will come back when he wakes up."

"I don't—" Xiao Shu cried louder and louder, "I don't want to sleep, I want Dad!"

"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu is obedient... Mr. Ling, I will hang up first."

"Sister Tian," Ling Yi finally couldn't hold back, "I'll go over now, you wait for me at home."

After hanging up the phone, he quickly got dressed, took the vegetables out of the pot and packed them in a thermos bucket, and went to the supermarket to buy a box of chocolates on the way.

When he arrived at Li's house, Sister Tian welcomed him in like a savior, "Xiaoshu is rarely so disobedient."

As soon as he changed his shoes and entered the bedroom, he saw Xiaoshu crying into a cat with a small face, and a mess of toy cars in front of him.Seeing him appear, Xiao Shuli ran over to hug him, "Uncle Biscuit, have you seen my father?"

The voice was hoarse from crying.

Ling Yi knelt down and picked him up, wiping his tears with her fingers, "I see, Dad is on his way back."

Sister Tian finally got off work.

"When will Daddy—hiccup—come back?" Chocolate distracted some of his attention, but he still kept asking Daddy.

"Shall we call Dad again and ask where he has been?"

"it is good."

The moment Ling Yi took out his phone, Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, but he quickly dialed Li Xingchuan's phone number.

It didn't work the first time.

"Did Dad say where he was going when he went out?"

"Working overtime..." Xiao Shu's mouth was full of dark chocolate, "He said he would be back soon."

work overtime?

After a while, Ling Yi called again, but this time it was completely unavailable.His heart beat slightly, and his finger slid to Xie Siyun's name.The call was through, but it was Luo Yu who answered the phone.Xie Siyun was shooting flat screens and had no time to be with Li Xingchuan at all.

Time passed by, Li Xingchuan still had no news, and Xiaoshu refused to sleep, insisting on seeing his father to feel at ease.Ling Yi didn't know his colleagues, but he roughly remembered which design institute he worked in.After much deliberation, he decided to take Li Zhuo out and go directly to the unit to try his luck.

It was freezing outside, so he left a note in the living room, dressed Li Zhuo in a sweater and down jacket, and added a coat himself, "Let's go, let's go find Dad."

Only then did Xiaoshu become happy, "Go find Dad!"

The two waited for the elevator in the corridor. After a long time, the sensor light went out, and only the red letter above the elevator door jumped step by step.

1, 2, 3...

When he was about to arrive, he took the little tree.As soon as the door opened, a person came out suddenly.Before he could see his face clearly, Ling Yi was hugged from the front.

"Who—" He staggered back after being hit, and was about to call for help when he suddenly heard the other party whisper in his ear: "It's me."

Taking a closer look, my heart almost flew out of my throat.

"Xingchuan?!"

Li Xingchuan's face was full of red marks, the sleeves of his suit were only half worn, his exposed left arm was wrapped with thick gauze, and the front of his shirt was bright red.

"Don't let Xiaoshu see it." Li Xingchuan used his body to block the blood.

Only then did Ling Yi suddenly come back to his senses, and hurriedly turned around to hug the still ignorant Li Zhuo in his arms, quickened his pace and sent him into the bedroom, then immediately turned back to help Li Xingchuan.

"Xingchuan, how are you, Xingchuan?"

He was obviously covered in blood when he fell down in the elevator, and he didn't feel any fear at all. The injured person was replaced by Xingchuan, who was so frightened out of his wits.

"What are you shouting for?" Li Xingchuan was obviously seriously injured, his forehead was covered with veins and cold sweat, and he even half-lyed on the back of the sofa when he returned to the living room.

"What happened? Is the injury serious? Does it hurt? Why don't you go to the hospital?" Ling Yi asked a series of questions without thinking, his face already paler than Li Xingchuan.
