After being coveted by old men for many years, I quit

"You will gradually get used to not having her in your life, even if she was once very important to you... Time will heal all this."

He tugged at his thin lips, "Doesn't that sound cruel?"

Zhou Cheng pursed his somewhat parched lips. In fact, he could understand the man's intention in saying this, but he was afraid that if his mother passed away suddenly, he would not be able to bear the sad news.

He wants to tell him in this way that even if the person he loves the most leaves, time will slowly settle the matter, and that person will eventually become a shadow in the memory.

"Then when she... left you, when you..." He Xiao continued his words calmly, "I was 12 years old when she left, and I was definitely sad, because Since I was young, I was sensible earlier than others, and I have a seven-year-old brother, so I didn’t dare to cry when I wanted to comfort him, for fear of making him even more sad.”

Zhou Cheng looked at the corners of his slightly raised lips, and his eyes softened.

When he said these words, his tone was slow, inexplicably making people feel very kind, and shortening the sense of distance brought about by age.

Twelve years old... He couldn't help thinking, what is a man like when he is 12 years old?Are you more mature than usual?

Thinking about it this way, a face that was younger than the man's current appearance, but with a very surly expression appeared in his mind.

An indescribable sense of incongruity.

Perhaps it was the man's easy-going way of chatting that released Zhou Cheng's heavy emotions. The two talked a lot later, but there was nothing specific about it. Coupled with the drowsiness that swept over after the nerves relaxed, Zhou Cheng was out of control. Fell asleep when it was bright.

He Xiao quietly looked at the man who had fallen asleep lying on his chest, put the photo frame on his hand back to its original place, put him back on the pillow lightly, and tucked him in the quilt.

Only then did he pick up the remote control and close the blackout curtains.

The room was plunged into silent darkness, he got out of bed and walked straight out of the room.

After washing up in the next room, I went downstairs to start my daily morning exercises.

About an hour later, he returned to his room after taking a shower in the guest room. Zhou Cheng hadn't woken up yet, and was sleeping soundly under the covers.

He propped his arms on the edge of the bed and watched for a while, pulled Zhou Cheng's quilt from his face, and after making sure that he was breathing smoothly, he opened the closet, changed into a set of clothes, and went downstairs.

After breakfast was ready, he went up to wake Zhou Cheng up, and then went downstairs to warm a glass of milk.

He himself is used to drinking coffee and milk. He didn't ask the person who brought the ingredients over on Friday to buy things like milk. It was only after Zhou Cheng lived here that he started drinking again.

After Zhou Cheng washed up and went downstairs, the man was already sitting at the dining table.

Wearing a black knitted sweater with a crisp upper body, she is looking down and tapping the phone screen, looking elegant and handsome.

He walked over, pulled out the chair, and sat down in his usual position.

Hearing the movement, He Xiao sent the edited message, put the phone on the table, and looked up at him.

"Did you sleep well?"

Zhou Cheng picked up the spoon, and responded lightly, "Yes."

Finally, thinking of something, he stopped eating and asked, "Is there any news from the hospital?"

Although he is the patient's family member, he also left his phone number, but maybe this private hospital, as a shareholder, He Xiao has more say, and his mother was admitted to the hospital by himself, and he will be notified in time if there is anything in the hospital .

Zhou Cheng just woke up and checked his mobile phone. In fact, the hospital also called him last night, but because of his negligence, the mobile phone was turned off because of his negligence, so he missed the call.

"Go over after breakfast, you can visit." The man replied.

Zhou Cheng nodded hurriedly, afraid of delaying his visit, he had to finish his breakfast several times faster than usual.

In the end, he ate faster than He Xiao.

He went upstairs and put on a coat again, after thinking about it, he took out another coat from the closet for He Xiao, and went downstairs with the coat in his arms.

He Xiao put the tableware into the dishwasher and walked out of the kitchen, throwing the paper towel to wipe the water drops into the trash can.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhou Cheng running down the stairs stepping on the stairs in one breath.

"Here..." Zhou Cheng handed him the coat, panting as he spoke, "Let's go."

He Xiao lowered his eyes to look at the coat he handed over, then looked at him again, his thin lips curled up, and he put it on smoothly without saying anything.

He changed his shoes at the entrance, hooked up the car keys, and the two went out together.

Drive to the hospital.

There are a lot of people walking around in the hospital during the day, even the corridors in the building are full of people walking back and forth.

The nurse explained to Zhou Cheng the things to pay attention to when going in for a visit, as well as the stipulated time for the visit. Zhou Cheng listened carefully, keeping everything in mind, and then changed into a sterile suit, a mask, shoe covers and a hair cap.

Everything is to try to avoid bringing bacteria into the ward to avoid infection.

It was also for this reason that He Xiao stayed outside the door and did not accompany him in.

It was very quiet in the intensive care unit, blocking out the sound from outside the corridor.

Zhou Cheng listened to the sound of his own breathing under the mask and the cold ticking of the surrounding instruments. For a moment, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain made him almost out of breath.

He walked slowly to the side of the bed, looking at the woman with various tubes inserted into her body on the hospital bed, his eyes instantly blurred.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

The last time I saw her, she was still as elegant and beautiful as I remembered, just a little haggard, lying on the hospital bed as if asleep.But now, she was as thin as a withered flower, so dim that she no longer had the look of life.

Even though he didn't want to accept this feeling anymore, Zhou Cheng still couldn't help thinking that maybe she really wanted to leave him.

Tears kept falling like broken beads, and his suppressed and painful cries rang out from time to time in the quiet room.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Cheng came out of the ward. The moment he saw the man, his numb nerves suddenly relaxed, and his legs went limp.

He Xiao went up to meet him when he pushed the door out. When he fell to the ground, he reached out to support him, and then took him to the bench next to him to sit down.

He looked at Zhou Cheng's eyes that were red and swollen from crying, there was no surprise in his eyes, but there was a little more imperceptible distress.

In the end, he stretched out his hand and embraced the soulless man in his arms.

There were people passing by in the corridor constantly. Seeing this scene, there was some strangeness in their eyes, but because of the indifferent eyes of the man, they walked away immediately.

They hugged each other silently for a while.

Zhou Cheng sniffed, retreated from the man's embrace, and whispered, "Go back."

The doctor said that he can only come to visit for half an hour a day. After reading it just now, he can only come back tomorrow.

He Xiao didn't say anything, and replied with a hmm.

The two came out of the hospital and walked towards the parking lot. The sun outside was bright, the sky was blue and dark, in stark contrast to Zhou Cheng's depressed and heavy mood.

Originally thought that He Xiao would directly drive the car back to the villa, but when the car stopped, Zhou Cheng realized it was not.

A waiter came over to open the car door for the two of them, took the key from the man's hand, and drove the car to park.

Zhou Cheng walked beside him, and asked inexplicably, "Aren't you going back?"

"Go back after lunch, this restaurant tastes pretty good, I'll show you to try it."

Zhou Cheng nodded absent-mindedly, and didn't say anything more.

He actually wanted to say that he was not in the mood or appetite right now, but after thinking about it, the man had been with him since last night, so it would be a bit disappointing to say so.

He has helped him a lot and is also very considerate and considerate. He should be a competent lover occasionally to cater to the needs of the benefactor.

Thinking of this, the two took the elevator upstairs together with the waiter who led them.

After sitting down, Zhou Cheng realized that this is a Japanese food restaurant.

The decoration is very peaceful, as is the furnishings.

There were not many people around, and since it was a scattered seat, the two picked a table at random and sat down.

Zhou Cheng is not very fond of Japanese food, but eating it once in a while is still very refreshing.

It's just that because I just went to the hospital, I'm in a bad mood, and even my appetite has dropped a lot.

After eating for a while, a red figure suddenly flashed in front of my eyes.

Before he looked up, the mature tone that belongs to women has already sounded beside him.

"He Xiao?"

The woman stood next to his seat, facing the man's position.

When he turned his head to look over, the tip of his nose smelled a slightly strong but not cheap perfume for him, as well as the woman's snow-white skin and delicate and beautiful face.

Unlike the one I saw at the concert last time, this woman was so flamboyantly beautiful. Her hair was light brown and curly and styled. Although she was wearing heavy makeup on her face, she didn't look obtrusive. She was comparable to top female stars.

The tall figure was wrapped in a red fur coat and carried a handbag of the same color.

When He Xiao heard the woman's voice, his calm black eyes lifted up, and after looking at it, he was still calm, and even the voice that overflowed his thin lips was faint, "Don't come here, Miss Yin."

The woman snorted softly, raised her red lips, and said with a slow smile in a lazy and melodious voice, "Why, you don't even want to call me by my name now? Mr. He is really ruthless."

Zhou Cheng silently moved the salmon slices on his plate, thinking to himself, it really is a peach blossom.

He wasn't surprised that a man like He Xiao had peach blossoms, but it would be strange if he didn't have any.

But perhaps because the one in front of him was so outstanding, Zhou Cheng was still a little surprised.

He Xiao pulled his lower lip, showing a perfunctory thin smile, "When will you be back?"

The woman brushed her long curly hair over her shoulders. Seeing that the man didn't intend to entertain, she pulled out a chair and sat down, "I just got off the plane this morning, and I'm meeting friends here for dinner, but he hasn't come yet." What about you?"

Speaking of this, she seemed to have noticed that there was another person at the table, and she turned to look at Zhou Cheng with charming eyes.

"Hey, your vision is too high, no woman can catch your eye, and you are reduced to going out to eat with your nephew?"

The "nephew" whose name was called froze, staring at the woman in a daze.

He Xiao picked up the Japanese-style teacup, blew on the dense mist, and slowly took a sip, and then replied unhurriedly, "You have seen my nephew, and with the relationship between our two families, the probability of you being wrong Very small."
