After the Stand-in Shou Faked His Death

Shen Xiuzhu's skin was still fair, and with his upper body naked, he walked towards the man step by step.

"The doctor said that I can do some exercise properly now." Shen Xiuzhu smiled, "including going to bed."

Shen Xiuzhu came to He Yang, and slowly leaned over.

"I can sleep with you too."

Shen Xiuzhu reached out and touched the man's suit jacket with his fingertips, as if he wanted to untie it.

He Yang stretched out his hand to stop Shen Xiuzhu's movement, "Put on your clothes."

Shen Xiuzhu didn't leave, but still stood in front of He Yang, and asked with a smile: "We've known each other for so long, don't you want to have a trial with me?"

"It's my first time."

After finishing speaking, Shen Xiuzhu approached again, almost sticking his whole body on the man, wanting to kiss him.

But before Shen Xiuzhu had time to kiss him, his body was pushed away.

He Yang got up, walked towards the door without saying a word.

Shen Xiuzhu looked at the back of the man leaving, and shouted out of composure: "He Yang!"

He Yang didn't stop, and left the office directly, closing the door.

He Yang stayed outside, came to the window, and lit a cigarette.

Not long after, there was movement from the office.

He Yang looked up and saw Shen Xiuzhu coming out from inside.

Shen Xiuzhu had already put on his clothes, but his eyes were still a little red.

Shen Xiuzhu was wrapped in a coat and looked at the man by the window.

The man leaned against the wall, the scarlet on his fingertips flickered on and off, his expression remained indifferent.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, He Yang turned his head slightly and said in a low voice, "I have already told the Shen family that you should go to the nursing home to rest for a while."

Shen Xiuzhu looked at the man, and suddenly said: "We have known each other for more than 20 years, are you trying to drive me away now?"

He Yang said casually, "Just going out to rest for a while."

"Because of Xu Chengyan?" Shen Xiuzhu asked.

He Yang didn't answer.

"He is already dead, you have found a substitute now." Shen Xiu Zhuhong looked at him, "Just because of a substitute, you want to drive me away."

"Don't you like me?" Shen Xiuzhu's tone became a little excited, "If I had stayed in those five years, we would have been together now, and there would be no Xu Chengyan—"

"Shen Xiuzhu." He Yang interrupted, met Shen Xiuzhu's gaze, and said slowly: "Did you misunderstand something? I never liked you."

Maybe he was emotionally slow before.

But when Shen Xiuzhu wanted to go abroad, he didn't miss it.

It's just that the brother next door is sent abroad to study, and they are separated for five years.

If he really likes someone, he won't never see him in five years.

He Yang said: "I didn't look for you in those five years."

Shen Xiuzhu was stunned, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "That's because I misunderstood..."

Shen Xiuzhu also remembered that during those five years, they rarely communicated, and every time he took the initiative to find He Yang.

"I will arrange a doctor for you." He Yang said, "Rest well in the future."

He Yang turned around and left from the side.

After leaving the company, He Yang went to the hospital.

In the ward, the old man on the bed was already asleep, and Qin Zhou was standing beside the bed.

Qin Zhou saw He Yang outside, so he got up and went to the corridor.

Qin Zhou closed the door of the ward, lowered his eyes, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

He Yang asked: "What's wrong?"

"The doctor said grandma's condition is not good." Qin Zhou sat on the rest chair, closed his eyes tiredly, and sighed softly.

He Yang sat beside him, leaning over, wanting to hug.

But just as He Yang approached, Qin Zhou could smell the perfume on the other party.

And when they went out in the morning, He Yang didn't have this smell yet. .

"Don't touch it." Qin Zhou blocked He Yang's movement and said casually, "It smells like perfume, I don't like it."

He Yang paused, withdrew his hand, and said, "Shen Xiuzhu went to the company to look for me just now, maybe I got involved."

"En." Qin Zhou responded perfunctorily.

"He will stay abroad in the future."

Qin Zhou nodded and said, "You don't need to explain it to me in such detail."

Qin Zhou was not interested in Shen Xiuzhu's matter, leaned back in his chair, and continued to look at the opposite ward.

He Yang was also by Qin Zhou's side, waiting quietly.

At night, grandma woke up.

Qin Zhou came to the ward and called out, "Grandma."

The old man on the bed looked over and asked aloud, "Where's Xiaozhou?"

The old man's voice sounded a little dry.

Qin Zhou poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.

Grandma stretched out her hand to hold Qin Zhou's arm, and asked again: "Where is Xiaozhou..."

Qin Zhou was still the same as before, patiently said: "Grandma, I'm right here."

Only this time, grandma didn't answer, she just stared at Qin Zhou for a long time and asked, "Are you Xiao Zhou's friend?"

Qin Zhou was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized and nodded.

"Yes, I'm his friend." Qin Zhou smiled at his grandma.

"What about the boat?"

Qin Zhou explained: "He is working outside and is a bit busy."

Qin Zhou held the water glass and asked grandma to drink the water first.

Grandma seems to be in a good state of mind this time, and she still remembers her little grandson, and she didn't admit the wrong person.

Grandma sat by the bed and asked with concern, "Then when will he come back?"

"Maybe I won't be back until evening." Qin Zhou still smiled.

"It's evening..." Grandma nodded, and with some effort she got up, leaned over to the bedside table, and flipped through the drawers.

Grandma took out a small wallet from inside, stuffed it into Qin Zhou's hand, and said, "Give this to Xiao Zhou..."

Qin Zhou nodded in response.

Grandma didn't seem very relieved, she held Qin Zhou's arm and told her all the time, "Remember to give it to Xiaozhou...to Xiaozhou..."

Qin Zhou hurriedly said: "Grandma, please sleep first, and you will be able to see Xiaozhou when you wake up."

"Okay..." Grandma lay on the bed and continued to chant: "I'll wait for Xiaozhou..."

Grandma's voice became softer and softer, then she lay on the bed, closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Then fell asleep and never woke up again.

Grandma passed away.

Grandma left in her sleep.

Qin Zhou kept guarding the side, and when he found something abnormal, he calmly called the doctor.

Grandma is old and not in good health, and this day will come sooner or later.

He has long been mentally prepared.

Qin Zhou sat on a chair in the corridor, took out the wallet, and opened it.

There are some small change in the wallet, it can be seen that grandma has saved it for a long time.

In addition to the change, there is also a picture of a boy inside.

The boy is about seven or eight years old, and the photo looks a bit old, probably from a long time ago.

Qin Zhou picked up the photo and recognized that the little boy in the photo was the tour guide.

Qin Zhou looked at the child in the photo for a long time, and finally put the photo back into his wallet.

Although I was mentally prepared for this day, when this day actually came, I still felt unreal and felt a little empty in my heart.

Qin Zhou sat on the chair with no emotion on his face, and he was a little dazed.

In the corridor, nurses came and went, and doctors came to talk to him.

However, Qin Zhou couldn't quite hear what the man said, so he just stared at the wall in a daze.

Then, like a robot, he went through the formalities for grandma and prepared to send the body to be cremated.

When Qin Zhou regained consciousness, he was already holding grandma's urn in his arms.

Qin Zhou lowered his head, touched the lines on the urn, then looked up to the side.

He Yang was by his side, always accompanying him.

Qin Zhou took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the calendar, and found that three days had passed.

Three days.

But these three days seemed to have passed only three hours, with no memory at all.

Qin Zhou shouted: "He Yang."

He Yang came down and asked in a low voice: "Go back?"

"Yes." Qin Zhou nodded.

Qin Zhou hugged the urn, got up, and followed He Yang.

Qin Zhou's face was still very plain, but his peach eyes were dull.

After returning to the apartment, Qin Zhou hugged the urn and stayed alone on the balcony.

In addition to grandma's urn, Qin Zhou also brought the tour guide's urn and put the two together.

The tour guide’s hometown is a small rural village in the north. Originally, he planned to visit his hometown during this period of time and bury the tour guide’s urn there.

It's just that before he had time to choose a cemetery, his grandma's urn arrived.

Qin Zhou looked at the two urns on the table, but did not respond.

It wasn't until He Yang came over that Qin Zhou got up and followed He Yang to the restaurant.

After eating dinner mechanically, I went back to the bedroom and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Everything is still as usual.

Qin Zhou lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and was about to fall asleep.

He Yang was beside him, touched the young man's face with his fingertips, and shouted in a low voice: "Banquet?"

Qin Zhou opened his eyes and looked over, smiled: "I'm fine."

Qin Zhou closed his eyes again, lowered his head slightly, buried his head in the quilt, and fell asleep.

He Yang turned off the light and lay beside him, still not sleepy.

Not long after, He Yang noticed a slight movement from the side, so he leaned over, "Banquet?"

He Yang slightly lifted the quilt, and saw the young man curled up on the bed with tears still on his face.

He Yang leaned over, and kissed the young man's face with his lips.

"It's okay." He Yang comforted him, moving his fingertips slightly, wiping away the tears on the young man's face.

"I'm the only one left..." Qin Zhou reached out and hugged the man on his body, his voice choked up, "I'm a liar..."

He is a liar.

Even in the end, grandma didn't know that her little grandson had actually been in a car accident.

"I'm the only one left..." Qin Zhou couldn't control his emotions.

"It's okay." He Yang comforted him over and over again, finally coaxing the person in his arms to sleep.

But when Qin Zhou woke up the next day, the situation got worse.

All day long, Qin Zhou sat on the balcony without moving.

Nothing to eat, not even water to drink.

Sitting still like a robot.

"Banquet." He Yang handed over a bowl of porridge.

Qin Zhou glanced at it, but didn't take it.

He Yang put the porridge on the table, sat beside him, and held the young man's hand.

Qin Zhou didn't take it back, but just looked at the two hands clasped together, and suddenly said: "He Yang."

"It would be great if I was the one who died that day." Qin Zhou's voice was very soft.

He was an orphan anyway, so it didn't matter if he died.

In this case, at least the real grandson is with grandma.

Grandma has always been thinking about her little grandson, but it's a pity that she didn't wait for the little grandson to come back until she left.

"If it was me who died that day..." Qin Zhou became a little dazed.

He Yang on the side didn't speak, just leaned over and hugged the young man.

Qin Zhou opened his eyes and felt the warm touch, but stretched out his hand slightly and pushed the man away a little.

Qin Zhou continued to lie on the recliner by himself, curled up into a ball, and stopped talking.

Cut yourself off from the outside world.

For several days, Qin Zhou remained in this state, neither eating nor drinking.

Soon, Qin Zhou's body collapsed, he developed a high fever, and was admitted to the hospital.

After Jiang Lin found out, he came to the hospital to visit Qin Zhou, and sat by the hospital bed to help peel apples.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?" Jiang Lin asked cautiously.

Qin Zhou half leaned on the hospital bed, smiled, and replied, "It's pretty good."

Jiang Lin peeled the apples, cut the apples into small pieces, put them on a plate, and handed them over.

Qin Zhou didn't have much appetite, but he still took the plate and ate slowly.

"I asked the doctor before, grandma is older, and it's not easy to get through it." Jiang Lin said, "Brother Zhou, these are normal, nothing happened."

"Yes." Qin Zhou nodded.

He also knew that grandma wouldn't last long, and birth, old age, sickness and death were all normal.

It's just that when he thinks about it, he still feels uncomfortable.

Qin Zhou ate the apple and said in a low voice, "I'm just not used to it."

He has been with his grandma for three years, and grandma is like his family.

In the past, he always wanted to make more money and see a doctor for his grandma.

But now grandma suddenly left.

It was as if his life had lost all meaning, and he didn't know what to do.

Qin Zhou said softly: "I just feel that it will be meaningless in the future."

After hearing this, Jiang Lin looked at the young man on the bed, and suddenly asked, "Brother Zhou, are you sad now?"

Without waiting for Qin Zhou to answer, Jiang Lin said, "It must be very sad that family members or friends leave suddenly, right?"

Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to cover Qin Zhou with the quilt, "Actually, I'm also quite sad."

"You didn't come to see me, and you didn't even give me a call." Jiang Lin felt a little aggrieved, "I've been really sad for a long time."

"I regret it so much, I still dream of you at night, of car accidents."

At the beginning, he really thought that his sister-in-law had passed away.

It's not that he can't accept life and death, but he can't accept such an accidental death.

"Brother Zhou, why don't you even call me..." Jiang Lin complained, "Just send me a message..."

Qin Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But I don't know why, and I can't say anything.

Jiang Lin leaned over, hugged Qin Zhou, and said seriously: "Brother Zhou, why is it meaningless? There are other people who care about you."

Qin Zhou hugged the person in front of him, "I'm sorry..."
