Superstar Growth Handbook

The next day

When Xia Chen woke up, he felt extremely refreshed, as if he hadn't had such a good sleep for a long time.

He stretched, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and in an instant, full of sunlight poured into the whole room.

Xia Chen smiled slightly, lowered his head, and when he saw the homework on the table, his expression changed instantly, it's over, the homework is not finished yet!

However, Xia Chen picked up the paper suspiciously, it was filled with his handwriting, but he didn't write this paper?

With doubts, Xia Chen read all the remaining homework and finished it all, but it wasn't written by him, but it was his handwriting?

Suddenly, Xia Chen found a small note in the last paper, "Brother, I finished your homework for you. After learning your handwriting, the teacher won't find out, don't worry."

Xia Chen couldn't help but smile, he was indeed relieved.

As the college entrance examination approached, Xia Chen's life became increasingly monotonous. Even on weekends, he seldom went to visit Xia Handong early, but used it to catch up on sleep. There was no way, homework always had to be completed.

But all of this, since Lu Yaoyang volunteered to help him with his homework, he suddenly felt a lot easier, although sometimes he felt that he was simply bullying Lu Yaoyang, but the temptation to get enough sleep every day was too great, so he could only feel sorry for Lu Yaoyang .

This day was also the same. Lu Yaoyang returned after helping him with his homework. Xia Chen sent him to the door, watched Lu Yaoyang get into the car, and suddenly said: "You are still studying at home these few days. Although you can write, you still need to read more." Look, the exam is coming soon."

Lu Yaoyang stopped and said, "It's still early, brother, didn't you take the exam earlier than me?"

Xia Chen nodded, "You can't patronize me, you have to study hard on your own side."

Lu Yaoyang said: "I will take the exam hard, and I will go and cheer for you when my brother takes the exam."

Xia Chen smiled, "Yes."

Lu Yaoyang nodded and stopped there. Xia Chen was a little puzzled and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lu Yaoyang nodded, and said after a while: "Brother, can you not take the exam to the school too far away, I will miss you very much if I don't see you."

Xia Chen was taken aback, then smiled, "No, I came back this time just to see my father, and I won't run away again, don't worry."

The problem that has been troubling Lu Yaoyang has finally been solved. Lu Yaoyang relieved himself and smiled at Xia Chen, "That's great."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Yes."

After seeing off Lu Yaoyang, Xia Chen went back to the house, looking at the big countdown to the college entrance examination on the desk, there are still 5 days left.

Five days passed by with a snap of the fingers. For a college entrance examination candidate, it was a long time, but also a fast one.

For Xia Chen's college entrance examination, Xia Kui specially spared time to send Xia Chen to take the exam, and Lu Yaoyang came with him.

Both the college entrance examination and middle school holidays followed, so Lu Yaoyang also followed.

"Is everything ready?" Xia Kui asked Xia Chen again worriedly as she sent Xia Chen off for the next time.

Xia Chen nodded, "I just checked and everything is ready."

Xia Kui felt relieved, "Then go in, it's sunny now, don't suffer from heat stroke."

Xia Chen nodded, looked at Lu Yaoyang next to him, "I'm going to take the exam."

Lu Yaoyang smiled at Xia Chen, "Well, come on."

Xia Chen nodded, waved his hand, turned and left.

Lu Yaoyang and Xia Kui watched Xia Chen's back leave.

Xia Kui lit a cigarette, leaned against the car, and said, "Why are you so close to Xia Chen all of a sudden?"

Lu Yaoyang's expression turned cold, and he lost the joy and smile he had when he was with Xia Chen just now, "It's always been good."

Xia Kui groaned and didn't believe it, but she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, Lu Yaoyang didn't have any malice towards his younger brother.

Xia Kui extinguished the finished cigarette, threw it away, and said, "Find a cold drink shop and wait."

Lu Yaoyang nodded and got in the car.

However, just as Xia Kui was about to start the car, the phone rang.

Xia Kui picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

"Mr. Xia, your father is suddenly critically ill. He is in the emergency room for first aid. Come over right now." On the other end of the phone, the voice of the nurse was very anxious.

Xia Kui frowned, "I'll go over right now."

Lu Yaoyang asked: "What's wrong?"

Xia Kui hung up the phone and said to Lu Yaoyang: "My father is in rescue now, I'm going to the hospital, you wait here for Xia Chen to come out."

Lu Yaoyang nodded and got out of the car, "Okay."

When Lu Yaoyang got out of the car, Xia Kui stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to the hospital.

Xia Kui hurried to the hospital and rushed to the emergency room.

"Mr. Xia!" The nurse taking care of Xia Handong stood at the door of the emergency room, and rushed over when he saw Xia Kui.

Xia Kui took a breath and said, "What's wrong? Tell me clearly."

The nurse also looked blank, "Not long after getting up in the morning, Mr. Xia suddenly complained of a headache, so I went to ring the bell to call the doctor. Unexpectedly, the old man passed out in just a short while, and I was terrified. , but luckily the doctor will be here soon.”

Xia Kui nodded, frowning tightly. He knew that his father's illness had not been cured, but his father's mental condition was very good some time ago. He thought that his father would recover little by little, but he really didn't expect that he would suddenly become critically ill. It was really overwhelming.

Xia Kui rubbed her eyes and took out her mobile phone, "Hey, Xia Ting, Dad is critically ill and is being rescued in the hospital. Come here now."

Xia Handong usually hurts Xia Ting the most, so Xia Ting also has a deep affection for Xia Handong, and she will come to accompany Xia Handong when she has nothing to do, so she was shocked when she heard the news suddenly, and she didn't say anything for a long time , After a long time, he said: "I'll come right away."

"En." Xia Kui responded, hung up the phone, and made another call. This time, it took a long time for the call to be picked up, "Xia Jiao, Dad is critically ill. You are the earliest ticket to come back now."

When Xia Jiao heard the news, she immediately said, "Okay!"

Xia Kui said, "As soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Kui sat on the bench at the door of the emergency room, kept looking at the red light in the emergency room, waiting for him to turn green, for the doctor to come out, and for Xia Handong to be safe and sound.

Lu Yaoyang stood under the shade of a tree and waited for Xia Chen to finish the exam.

The waiting time was not too long, and it was Xia Chen who was waiting, so Lu Yaoyang didn't feel bored, and he was wondering whether he should let Xia Chen know about his father's critical illness.

Selfishly speaking, Xia Chen is more important to him, and he also hopes that Xia Chen will continue to take the college entrance examination, but on the other hand, he is afraid that if he hides it from Xia Chen, Xia Chen will care about him because of this in the future.

At eleven o'clock, the bell rang, and after a while, the school gate opened, and candidates came out one after another.

Lu Yaoyang saw Xia Chen at a glance, "Xia Chen."

Xia Chen heard the voice and walked towards Lu Yaoyang with a smile on his face.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yaoyang made a decision, looked at Xia Chen with a serious face, and said, "Xia Chen, I'm telling you something, don't get too excited."

Xia Chen was startled by Lu Yaoyang's serious expression, his expression was no longer joyful, and he asked with doubts: "What's the matter?" He didn't even realize that Lu Yaoyang called him by his name.

Lu Yaoyang frowned, "Your father is critically ill."

Xia Chen stood there blankly, and after a long time said, "Is critically ill?" His tone was full of disbelief and bewilderment.

Lu Yaoyang nodded, quite calmly, "Well, are you going to the hospital now?"

"Hospital?" Xia Chen stared blankly at Lu Yaoyang, unconsciously repeating Lu Yaoyang's words.

Lu Yaoyang frowned, looking worried at Xia Chen's appearance.

After a long time, a tear fell from Xia Chen's eyes, "Hospital, I'm going to the hospital!" Xia Chen seemed to come alive, wiped away the tears and rushed to the road to stop the car.

Lu Yaoyang followed closely behind Xia Chen, grabbed Xia Chen who was rampaging, and waved his hand for a car.

A taxi stopped in front of the two of them, Lu Yaoyang opened the door to let Xia Chen get in the car, and then got in himself, saying: "Go to Qingsong Hospital."

The driver glanced at the silent Xia Chen from the rearview mirror, and sighed. He must have failed the college entrance examination again.

At this moment, Xia Chen is very dazed, his whole mind is blank, he seems to be outside this world, and the outside world is nothingness to him.

"Lu Yaoyang, what do you think it feels like to die?"

This was the first time Xia Chen called Lu Yaoyang by his name directly. Lu Yaoyang shook his head and said, "I don't know."

People are dead, what else do you want to feel.

The car quickly drove to Qingsong Hospital, Lu Yaoyang paid the money, led Xia Chen out of the car, and led them to the emergency room.And Xia Chen was like a child, obediently letting Lu Yaoyang play with her.

Xia Kui sat at the door of the emergency room with a tired face.

"Mr. Xia." Lu Yaoyang led Xia Chen to Xia Kui.

Xia Kui raised his head and looked at Xia Chen, "Here we come."

Xia Chen nodded blankly, looked at Xia Kui, "Brother."

Xia Kui patted his younger brother on the head and held Xia Chen's hand, "Dad will be fine."

Xia Chen nodded, and sat down with his head resting on Xia Kui's shoulder.Although he and Xia Kui haven't seen each other for many years, blood is thicker than water, and relatives are relatives. Especially at such a time, seeing his eldest brother, Xia Chen gradually felt at ease.

Lu Yaoyang's eyes on the side became dark, when will I be so important in your heart?When will you rely on me so much?

Time passed by, Xia Chen gradually calmed down, and kept praying in his heart that his father would be fine, and he would definitely get through this crisis smoothly.And they must also take good care of themselves, and only then will they have the energy to take care of their father when their father comes out.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen stood up and said to Xia Kui: "Brother, you haven't eaten lunch yet, I'll go buy something to eat."

Xia Kui patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "Go."

Xia Kui nodded and said to Lu Yaoyang, "You can go with me."

Lu Yaoyang nodded, stood up, "Let's go."

The two were queuing up to buy food in the canteen of the hospital. They were silent to each other. One didn't know how to comfort them, and the other didn't know what to say.

After buying food, Xia Chen walked back with the food, passing the obstetrics and gynecology department on the way, and immediately heard the cry of a baby.

Xia Chen couldn't help but stop, and Lu Yaoyang also stopped. After a while, Xia Chen continued to walk to the emergency room, "The hospital is very strange. Life is born here, and it is also lost here."

Lu Yaoyang was stunned, and said for a while: "Death and survival are one." I forgot that this was a sentence I read in that book, and I usually can't remember it, but it came to mind at this time.

Xia Chen nodded and said nothing.

When the two returned to the emergency room, there was a young woman beside Xia Kui, Xia Ting.

It's been almost a year since Xia Chen came back, and she's only seen this sister a few times.

"Sister." Xia Chen walked to Xia Kui and said to Xia Ting.

Xia Ting nodded, with sadness and shock on her face, which was different from Xia Chen's blankness.

"Let's eat." Xia Chen handed the rice to Xia Kui and Xia Ting, "If you are full, you will have the strength to wait for Dad to come out." Xia Chen forced a smile and looked at the two of them.

Xia Kui said nothing, and silently opened the lunch box.

Shaking her head, Xia Ting said to Xia Chen, "Eat it, I can't eat it now."

Shaking his head, Xia Chen said, "Leave it alone, and eat when you're hungry."

This time, Xia Ting did not refuse.

Xia Chen took out her lunch box and handed it to Lu Yaoyang, "You eat."

Lu Yaoyang returned, "You eat, I'll buy another." Xia Chen bought three meals, and he gave his own to Xia Ting, leaving nothing for him.

Xia Chen nodded, "I'll accompany you to buy another copy."

Now he wants to escape from here, the air here carries the breath of death, it is too depressing, too frightening, even if he has the courage to look directly at it, his heart is still weak.

Xia Chen is just a child, and this is the first time in his life that he faces death.

It is so cruel, so tormented, waiting here with unpredictable results, every moment is suffering in the heart, just like death, the moment when the knife is cut is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is the process of waiting for death.

This time, the two went to the cafeteria to buy a fast food again, but this time, it took a long time before the two returned to the emergency room.

They watched for a long time in the obstetrics and gynecology department, watching the newborn baby sleep or cry or laugh through the window.

No pair of eyes are so clean and transparent, making people feel beautiful and pure just by looking at them.

"When I was young, my father didn't like me very much. My father liked my eldest sister. He often hugged my eldest sister to play with her. Every time I saw it, I was very envious. I wanted my father to hug me and cry at him, but it was useless. He rejected me every time. At that time, I even felt hatred in my heart, and even felt that I was not my own.

But later, when I grew up, I realized that my father would actually love me very much.

When I was young, I didn't like to eat onions, but every time my mother would give them to me. If I didn't eat them, I put them in my dad's bowl and asked, dad, do you like onions?He hums every time.But in fact, he doesn't eat the onions I gave him, and he throws them away in the end. "Speaking of this, Xia Chen smiled softly and said: "Dad loves me a lot too, but it's not as obvious as it is to my sister. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because I'm a boy." "

Xia Chen looked at Lu Yaoyang, feeling much calmer, "A few days ago, my father told me that what he regretted most was that he didn't love the second sister more. I asked why, and he said that when girls grow up, they always want to marry. Yes, after getting married, it's not easy for my father to hurt anymore, after all, she has a husband. So I used to always think about being nice to my sister, so that I won't have a chance to hurt her in the future."

Then, Xia Chen rambled on a lot about Xia Handong, and Lu Yaoyang listened carefully, being a quiet listener.

"I've told you so much, you won't be bored, will you?" Xia Chen looked at Lu Yaoyang and squeezed out a smile.

Lu Yaoyang shook his head, stretched out his hand and touched Xia Chen's head, "As long as it's what you say, it won't bother you."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, resting her head on Lu Yaoyang's shoulder, "Lend me for it." It's nice to have someone by your side at this time.

Lu Yaoyang nodded and lent his shoulder.

The passers-by looked over, because the two of them were completely different from the joyful atmosphere full of new life, they were sad and sad.

After leaning for a while, Xia Chen raised his head and said, "Let's go."

Lu Yaoyang nodded and followed Xia Chen.

Seeing Xia Chen come back, Xia Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "There is an exam in the afternoon, you should go back and rest for a while."

Shaking her head, Xia Chen looked firmly at the door of the emergency room: "I'll wait for Dad to come out."

Xia Kui's tone became more serious, her brows furrowed tightly, "This is the college entrance examination!"

Xia Chen looked at Xia Kui and said loudly, "This is my father!" His attitude was very firm. He could take the college entrance examination next year, but his father would not have another one.If you can't be with your parents at this moment, what kind of children are you?

Xia Kui was taken aback, sighed, and said nothing, acquiescing that Xia Chen stayed.
