Cang Xuehe's face was pale, her strength was drained instantly, her body limp and fell down, Si Yao quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands.

"What did my cousin say?" Si Yao's face was full of worry, she helped her to sit down on the rest chair beside her, but she didn't say anything when she asked Cang Xuehe.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's just that there seems to be something choked in her throat, making her speechless.

She hugged Si Yao tightly, her body trembling faintly in her arms, Si Yao didn't know why she reacted like this when she answered a phone call, it must be something big.

After stroking her back, Si Yao said softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Cang Xuehe slowed down, raised her head from Si Yao's arms, her face was covered with pear blossoms, and her voice was choked with sobs, "I, I want to go home..."

"Okay, I'll book a ticket for you." Si Yao quickly took out his phone and opened the booking software while comforting her. After some screening, he said, "The earliest flight will have to wait until seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Hmm..." Cang Xuehe frowned, feeling a little relieved, "That's the only way."

Si Yao took out a tissue to wipe her tears, and said, "Let's go home and pack our luggage, and we'll set off after packing."

Cang Xuehe was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding, Si Yao continued, "I'm driving, and I checked the road conditions and it's smooth, so I can arrive around 12 o'clock at the latest."

"No, no." Cang Xuehe shook her head, "You have to go to work tomorrow, besides, it's too late, you..."

Si Yao tapped her lips with his index finger to signal her to silence, "This is the fastest way now, I don't feel relieved if you drive back alone."

After going upstairs, I packed my luggage as quickly as possible, and half an hour later the car drove into the high speed.

Si Yao saw Cang Xuehe's expression through the rearview mirror. The other party was just leaning against the window in a daze, and her mood had stabilized. She raised her hand to turn off the roof lights.

"Sleep, we'll be there when we wake up."

Cang Xuehe didn't answer, Si Yao focused on driving on the straight road in front of her, and after a while, she spoke.

"Cousin said that Dad has been in the hospital for several days." Cang Xuehe said in a very soft voice, "At first, he fainted due to overwork, and when he was sent to the hospital for examination, he was found to have a tumor, so he was hospitalized."

"Tumors are divided into benign and malignant. Did the doctor say which one they belong to?"

"I don't know." Cang Xuehe shook her head, "My cousin doesn't know very well, and I didn't dare to ask. I remember my dad had regular physical examinations, how could he have a tumor..."

"Don't worry." Si Yao comforted her, "Since uncle has a regular physical examination, there is a high probability that it is benign, otherwise the physical examination will find it."

"Am I..." In the darkness, Cang Xuehe frowned tightly, "Too unfilial... My father loved me the most since I was a child, but I learned about his illness from other people, and I was the only one in our family , now my mother is the only one taking care of my father, how hard she must be."

"It's not too late." Si Yao smiled at her slightly, and said some witty words in order to ease her mood, "I will go back with you, which is equivalent to double the labor force."

Cang Xuehe breathed out lightly, and let go of her tightly twisted fingers, "I've thought about countless scenarios, and I'm afraid of seeing them, but I didn't expect this to happen."

She turned her head to Si Yao, "With you here, I'm not so scared all of a sudden."

At 12:30, the car slowly drove into the gate of the hospital.

Cang Xuehe went to the Cardiology Department of the Inpatient Department according to the ward number sent by her cousin. In the elevator, she kept taking deep breaths and tightly clutching the handrails in the car.

Si Yao put one hand on the back of her hand, touched her head again, and said softly, "It will be fine, I will accompany you."

The elevator opened on the 7th floor, and the nurse's desk was in sight. Because it was late at night, only the corridor lights were turned on in the corridor.

As she walked further inside, Cang Xuehe's footsteps seemed to be filled with lead. The lights in other wards were on to varying degrees. The accompanying family members were basically dozing off, and the younger ones were playing games.

Stopping in front of the door of bed 27, she looked at the scene inside through the glass of the door. The curtain of the hospital bed inside was drawn, and she immediately saw her mother standing in front of the table, folding the clothes she had just collected and putting them in the bag. inside.

Perhaps her gaze was too strong, Mama Cang suddenly stopped her movements and turned her head to come over. The moment they looked at each other, she was completely stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.

Cang Xuehe pushed open the door, a little at a loss, and finally called "Mom" cautiously.

"Who's here?" said the person behind the curtain, and she recognized Papa's voice.

Cang's mother responded, quickly averted her gaze, and pulled the curtain aside.

I haven't seen my father for a few years, and the high-spirited middle-aged man has grown gray hair on his temples and some white stubble on his chin. He is much older than five years ago.

Cang Xuehe had a sore nose, walked over quickly, opened her mouth, and called Dad.

Cang's father couldn't believe it, he stretched out his hand to his daughter, his eyes lit up instantly, "Xue He...?"

The moment she saw her parents, all the grievances in her heart disappeared. She pursed her lips and grabbed the hand firmly, "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Cang's father smiled, "I'm still strong."

The family of three had a tacit understanding and never mentioned those unpleasant things. There was a touch of warmth in the cold ward.

After carefully passing his daughter, Cang's father turned his attention to the person brought by his daughter, "This is...?"

"She's mine..." Cang Xuehe opened her mouth and wanted to say that she was her girlfriend. Anyway, she would have to know sooner or later, but just as she opened her mouth, Si Yao secretly grabbed her hand.

Taking advantage of her hesitation, Si Yao quickly said, "Hello, uncles and aunts. I am Xue He's friend, Si Yao."

"Oh." Cang's father nodded, "Thank you for coming to me."

Although she was still dissatisfied with Si Yao's "friend" for her speech, she had said what she had said, so she could only give Si Yao good impressions from other aspects, and hurriedly said: "Originally, I would not be able to come back until tomorrow, but Si Yao drove me off on purpose." back."

She said to her mother that she was exhausted after staying up all night to accompany her. "Mom, you can go back and rest. I will stay here with Dad."

"You guys drove all the way back to rest." Cang's mother said, "Your dad had an MRI in the afternoon, don't stay in the ward, come back tomorrow."

The distance between their home and the hospital was a bit far. In order to save time, they opened a room directly near the hospital.

After taking a bath, the two of them lay on the bed, Cang Xuehe felt a little sleepy, she turned sideways to look at the moon outside the window.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the moon will be full."

"Yeah." Si Yao hugged her from behind, "Go to sleep, and find a doctor tomorrow to learn more about Uncle's condition."

"Tomorrow..." Cang Xuehe said with a long tail, "You can go back tomorrow morning, you have a lot of work to deal with, and besides, you have to have a reunion dinner with your uncles and aunts the day after tomorrow."

"I can do it by myself. I will go back when my dad recovers from the operation."

"It doesn't matter." Si Yao said, "It's the same to have a reunion dinner with my parents-in-law."

Cang Xuehe was still talking, but Si Yao suddenly bit her ear tip lightly, with a slight threat, "Sleep, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"..." A certain rabbit immediately closed her eyes when she heard this. Her boss is always a model of what she says and what she does. She doesn't want to rub her waist in the ward tomorrow.

At 06:30 in the morning, the alarm clock had just rang, and Cang Xuehe quickly turned it off. She came out of the bed lightly, and got out of bed in one go.

It was too early, and Si Yao drove another way last night. She didn't call her because she wanted her to rest more.

Unexpectedly, when she came out of the shower, Si Yao had already changed her clothes, the bright lights were on in the room, and the hazy white light came in from the window.

She blinked, "Why do you get up so early."

"Go to the hospital with you." Si Yao stroked his hair, with the laziness of getting up in the morning.

There are many stalls selling breakfast near the hospital, and the first batch of fritters from the deep-fried stalls came out at [-] o'clock in the morning.

The freshly baked fritters were still steaming, and they could feel very hot through the thin plastic bag. Cang Xuehe blew hard twice, and Si Yao thoughtfully took a napkin to wrap it up for her.

Walking on the road in the inpatient department, Cang Xuehe thought for a while and said, "Why didn't you let me say you were my girlfriend last night." There was still a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Uncle is still sick, don't provoke him."

"..." Cang Xuehe opened her mouth, although she had no choice but to do so.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, the birds on the trees began to chirp, and patients were already walking in the green area downstairs of the inpatient department.

They went upstairs, and the corridor was brightly lit, much brighter than last night.

The door of bed 27 was wide open. As soon as the two approached the door, they heard voices talking inside, and their footsteps subconsciously stopped.

"Did you tell Xue He about my illness?"

"No, I don't know who told her too much."

"Hey." Cang's father sighed heavily, "It's just a knife, it's no big deal, you came back overnight from that girl last night."

"Isn't it as good as you wish?" Cang's mother scolded him, "Saving you holding your phone every day from your daughter's circle of friends and not sending her a single message."

"It's been so many years...how can she be so stubborn."

"It's a good thing for this girl to be self-reliant. We can't protect her for the rest of her life. Besides, this is the path she chose. You think she is not doing well now."

"You, don't think so much, adjust your mentality and do the surgery."

knock --

Cang Xuehe knocked on the door twice and walked in. She pretended not to hear anything, and said with her breakfast in her hand, "Let's have breakfast."

"Why don't you get more sleep." Cang's mother frowned subconsciously, but still got up to take the breakfast.

They were the only family in the double ward. As an "outsider", Si Yao was a bit out of place, but it didn't seem too abrupt.

Cang's father looked at Si Yao unobtrusively, sat up from the bed, and said as if his daughter was busy feeding him porridge, "I can eat it myself."

Cang Xuehe didn't know what she could do, so she handed the porridge to her father and sat aside to eat, while her mother also sat at the table and ate breakfast without saying a word.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" When Cang Xuehe asked this question, she was a little embarrassed. She was obviously the closest family member, and she didn't even know what was going on with her body.

"I don't know." Cang's father shook his head, "The doctor asked me to have an examination. After hanging up for a few days, he said that I would need an operation to remove the tumor and then examine it." Worried about his daughter's overthinking, he said: "It's actually not a big deal. Usually there is no reaction."

Cang Xuehe may have said that she wanted to come to the doctor, but her parents couldn't understand those professional terms, so she just did what the doctor said, and she still had to wait for the doctor to go to work and ask about the situation.

Cang's father put his eyes on Si Yao, and saw that she was just sitting quietly since she came in, but she couldn't hide the look of concern in her eyes.

"You're called..." Cang's father thought about it carefully, but he was so excited last night that he forgot other things, so Si Yao hurriedly answered, "Si Yao."

Cang's father nodded, and asked his daughter again, "Are you on good terms? Otherwise, you might come together."

"Yes." Cang Xuehe was worried that someone would disregard her relationship with her, so she immediately said, "We are roommates and work in the same company."

"What work do you do now?"

"From the media." Worried that his father felt that he was worthless, he hurriedly reported the name of the company. The branch may not be well-known, but the headquarters is a well-known chain group.

"Oh." Cang's father showed admiration, "It's promising."

While talking, the nurse came in to make rounds, and took two payment slips by the way for the family members to pay.

Cang Xuehe took the payment slip and glanced at herself, "I'll pay the bill." As soon as she finished speaking, Si Yao took the payment slip and said, "I'll go, you stay here with uncle and aunt."

"Okay." Thinking that her parents might have something to say to her in private, she agreed, and at the same time took out her mobile phone and handed it to her, "Use my mobile phone."

Si Yao went out with the bill and the mobile phone. The couple had a panoramic view of their interaction, and there was no hesitation in handing over the mobile phone. Obviously, the other party already knew the payment password.

Cang's mother sat down next to the hospital bed, thought about it, and said tentatively: "You just give the phone to others like this? What if she uses your phone for something, how careful should it be when it comes to money?"

Only after being told like this did she realize that she was too obvious just now, Cang Xuehe smiled awkwardly, "I don't care about my little money at all, the money in my card is not as much as hers."

"What does she do? How old is she? Is she married?"

The three consecutive question marks made her think that she was on a blind date for a moment, and she was stunned. Cang's father immediately came out to smooth things over: "What are you doing with so many questions, but Xuehe, you plan to stay there all the time, and don't consider coming back to develop? Your mother and I I've always hoped that you could become a civil servant, at least you'll have a solid job."

"..." Cang Xuehe didn't expect to face this problem right after she came back. She wanted to dig her back before she got a firm foothold outside?

"I'm used to being wild."

Probably, it is the price of freedom.
