Released

"……what?"

Zhou Xi's mind went blank, he turned around to look at the information card beside the bed.

The card says Cao Meng, 56 years old, has not been removed.

It's not a dream, people are gone.

In the few hours when he went to the blood collection room, the uncle who said that he would treat him to dinner and wait for him to return to the country to report his safety was gone.

The knitted hat with the wig fell on the edge of the bed, probably when it was pulled for rescue.

Zhou Xi squatted down slowly to pick it up. The postoperative wound hadn't healed yet, so he felt sore and swollen whenever he moved.

The ward was suddenly half empty, and the other two patients were praying softly and in low voices on the bed.Zhou Xi was not in the mood to listen anymore, he grabbed the hat and stood up as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

His blood pressure must have been a little low, or a little anemic, and he was dizzy when he straightened up.

After watching it for so many days, he never knew that the wool of Lao Cao's knitting hat was so inferior that he could feel it pricking like a needle when he held it in his palm.This should be any high-strength detergent used casually, rubbed vigorously, and such hair strands will appear after being exposed to the sun.

He has never even seen Lao Cao's complete appearance, but he only remembers the pair of eyebrows and eyes, and the simple and honest look when he smiles.

"You can't eat spicy food?" Lao Cao looked at him half-jokingly and half-disgustingly while chatting, "Why don't you have such a good fortune hahaha, the mapo tofu made by the Chinese boss is really unique, how can you not try it?"

What is untimely——

He doesn't hold grudges, doesn't hold grudges, but at this moment, he remembered how Guo Pan scolded him, every word and every word resounded in his mind.

"My classmates say that your life is full of evil spirits. Ke's family is broken up, and even his biological parents don't want you."

He grabbed the egg yolk cake left on the bedside table, turned around and ran out of the ward.

The snow fell quietly in Tian'an, not deep, and Zhou Xi stepped on it and left footprints all the way.

After running down from the fifth floor for a certain distance, Zhou Xi was panting for breath and steamed a vast white mist on his lenses. He tore off his mask, and the wind dispersed snow dust through his respiratory tract, making him as cold as deathly still.

He stopped by the flower bed at the door, looked down to find a small clean place, pushed aside the branches and leaves and put the two things in together.

The movement was light, and the falling snow was held back by sparse shrub foliage.

Zhou Xi stood upright, the snow fell on his shoulders and was blown down by the wind, leaving some fine mist, which stained his clothes, leaving light water marks.

"Uncle Cao, I'll put this here for you." Zhou Xi glanced at the gray-black knitted hat, and stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles, "When you leave... think about it, don't let it fall down again."

He spoke in a low voice, like a child talking in his sleep.

"Bring some food, I'll save it for you." He lowered his head and said, "I'm leaving too, so I'll see you off first."

Zhou Xi took a step back. He glanced at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, and stood there in the snow for a while.

The snow accumulated on his body, and when he entered the room, it was dried by the heater, and all of it melted into water, seeping into his clothes wetly.

Xu Qin miraculously appeared in the ward. She looked at Zhou Xi's unpacked luggage at a loss, trembling here and looking at it, and even opened it.

Until Zhou Xi opened the door and walked in.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Qin obviously sensed that something was wrong with his face, "Zhou Xi, I just heard that Lao Cao has left. Are you frightened? These things... Take it away, I plan to return it quickly , change your father to another ward later..."

Zhou Xi panicked in his heart, he couldn't tell, he hadn't felt this way for many years, he had the fear of desperately wanting to run away.

He passed by Xu Qin and nodded numbly.

"Why are you pouring it like this... Oops." Xu Qin brought out a bowl of soup from nowhere—half a bowl of soup to be exact.It was packed in a disposable bowl, and there was nothing in it. Zhou Xi sniffed it lightly, and could tell that it was corn ribs soup.

"Come on, drink a bowl of stewed soup." Xu Qin naturally put it on the bedside table, "You've worked hard too, it's good to warm your stomach."

Zhou Xi had no intention of drinking soup, but he casually glanced at it, and saw the obvious oil marks sticking to the side of the bowl.

— was drunk.

"I won't drink anymore." Zhou Xi tried hard to keep his gaze away from the half bowl of soup, he closed his eyes and said, "You guys drink it."

"This child is specially reserved for you." Xu Qin said very calmly, "I'll just give you a taste, it doesn't matter if it's a family, don't worry about it."

what?

What family?

Zhou Xi gave up even refusing, he pulled up the suitcase and stood up: "I'm leaving."

It was collected very cleanly, and there were not many things at first, but now there is only an opened bag of bread left on the bed.If it was given by anyone, Zhou Xi would take it with him.

But it was given by Xu Qin, and he didn't even want to move.

I don't even want to see you.

"Where are you going? It's snowing, isn't it?" Xu Qin stood up anxiously, "Do you want to stay for another two days? Do you have a place to go?"

"Take a taxi." Zhou Xi said, "My ex-landlord reserved the door for me, so I can arrive before dark."

Xu Qin let out a blank sigh.

"Then you..." She followed after two steps, "Be careful on the road, we will turn around and..."

"Don't buy this kind of bread for Zhou Yuan to eat." Zhou Xi turned around and interrupted her, "It's high in sugar and oil, it's not good for his health."

Xu Qin froze for a moment.

"You also eat less, your body is too heavy." Zhou Xi looked at her calmly, "Take care."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and pressed the elevator, without looking back.

When the elevator door closed, he vaguely heard Xu Qin's sobbing.

He tried to react—but he couldn't help it, he didn't have the energy to feel anything.

People are tired and don't want to owe anything anymore.

Zhou Xi called an Uber and it stopped at the gate.When passing by the small flower bed, he greeted the hat from afar.

"Really gone."

Snow blows the world into a barren white.

Zhou Xi doesn't get motion sickness, but this time seems to be an exception - during the one-hour journey to Xincun, he curled up to suppress the strong nausea.

Physical condition is too bad.

When he got off the bus, the driver helped him with his luggage.The only thing he felt better was seeing the building he was familiar with. The landlord's family had gone on vacation and left the empty house for him to live in for a few days.

The landlord is a businessman who started his business overseas. The relationship is neither far nor close, but it can be regarded as half a friend.He is very reliable, Zhou Xi rented from him for a long time when he was studying abroad.Zhou Xi didn't sleep well for a while, so he had to take care of him.

Now I borrowed his house to recuperate during the snowstorm, and the password for the gate was sent without saying a word.

He stepped on the snow and walked along the path in the yard, the scarf was blown high by the wind and hit him on the face, and the lenses were covered with tiny drops of water.

It was completely dark, and for some reason, every step Zhou Xi took, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and his steps were unbearably heavy.

He stood upright at the door, seemingly unmoving, but his hand was shaking badly when typing the password, and he couldn't press it correctly even though he tried his best.

"Dididi, Error."

The machine relentlessly reported an error sound.

Instead of crying quietly, he was crying, he wanted to cry, he wanted to throw himself into the snow unscrupulously, and bury his voice in the mud.

"Dididi, Error."

There were roaring and violent emotions in his body, piercing his body uncontrollably, trying to overturn his reason, wanting to rush out loudly and recklessly, crushing his silent soul.

"Ding dong—Welcome."

He finally opened the door, and the wind carried fresh snow into the house.The landlord's small detached house smelled of stale air after the doors and windows were closed for a long time.

The classical wall clock on the wall swings leisurely, showing seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Xi was trembling all over, and he slowly sat down at the door with exhaustion.

The author says:

I ate kiwi fruit today. I bought a box and let me put it for several days because it was not ripe. I finally thought about it and ate it, but it seemed to be the same and still very sour.Tears fall TAT.

After eating kiwi, go buy lychees!Lychees are out!

I seem to have seen yellow peaches recently?Yellow peaches are also delicious.

PS: Finally gone! ! ! (Broken sound) Beat gongs and drums to send off Xu Qin, farewell!

This retreat is a lifetime! (dragged frantically)

Brother Xi, don't cry, it's all over.

Tomorrow Monday will be updated, Boss Lu will be online!Looking forward to ing(づ￣3￣)づ
