moon star clear

I felt a little bit of negative emotion.

Mu Chen naturally thought that he had accidentally poked a sore spot in his family, so he quickly found an excuse to change the subject.

"You...didn't you also take the medicine? Are you not sick?" After finishing speaking, he felt something was wrong, and added, "Bah, bah, I'm not scolding you, I'm just asking if you're sick, bah..."

"I'm fine, the medicine is for a... relative."

Mu Chen didn't expect Jiang Hao to have relatives in the hospital. He remembered Jiang Hao's reply to Ms. Cheng that day that he didn't have relatives to come with him.

Maybe a distant relative?

But if you take the medicine, it should be a relatively intimate relationship.

In short, it is much better to have relatives here than to be alone.

"Are you going to deliver medicine later?"

"Ah."

"Then can I... can I go with you?"

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment, thinking that it was unnecessary to hide this from him, so he nodded to indicate that it was okay.

A few minutes later, the two returned to Ward 203 on the second floor of the inpatient department.

Uncle Li was still lying on the pale hospital bed with haggard face just like before Jiang Hao left, the difference was that his granddaughter was helping him adjust the bed board so that he could sit up and drink some porridge.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the girl put down the bowl in her hand and turned her head. She saw Jiang Hao and Mu Chen walking into the ward, with a flash of astonishment in her expression.

Before Jiang Hao could figure out the meaning of her expression, he heard Mu Chen's surprised voice: "Lu...Qi?"

Lu Qi?Jiang Hao quickly searched for the name in his mind, and found it familiar, but couldn't remember where he heard it.

"Lu Qi, what are you... I thought you transferred back to your hometown!"

"I..." Lu Qi hesitated to speak.

Jiang Hao suddenly remembered that on the first night he reported to No. [-] Middle School, several girls mentioned this name to Mu Chen, and... Jiang Yifei also found it in the posts several times.

It's just that when I saw this girl for the first time, I only heard Uncle Li call her "Xiaoqi", and I wasn't sure which qi it was, so I didn't think about it at all.

As if feeling Jiang Hao's gaze, Mu Chen explained to him: "Jiang Hao, this is Lu Qi, who is... my former deskmate."

Also your rumored girlfriend.

After thinking about it secretly, Jiang Hao was a little surprised at his naive thoughts.

Lu Qi seemed a little overwhelmed by Mu Chen's arrival. After feeding half a bowl of porridge, she asked her grandfather to sleep first, and invited Jiang Hao and Mu Chen to accompany her to the gazebo downstairs in the inpatient department to talk.

"Lu Qi, I really thought you went back to study, the old Duan said so, you are..." Seeing that Lu Qi seemed to want to say something but couldn't say it, Mu Chen guessed that she must have encountered some difficulties , wanting to help her.

However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Hao's indifferent voice interrupted his inquiry.

"Your grandfather is suffering from advanced lung cancer. I think you should know, Lu Qi."

It's not that he is cruel, but perhaps only he knows that only by uncovering the long-scabbed scars with his own hands and looking directly at the bloody truth can he find the thorn that penetrates into the bone marrow and break the real knot in his heart.

Although it hurts, it is the only way.

When Lu Qi heard the words "advanced lung cancer", she couldn't stop crying for more than half a year, but she still spoke the truth with sobs.

The vine leaves climbing above the gazebo dance lightly in the wind, as if they are also listening to the stories of the past.

A year ago, Uncle Li retired and returned to China. He went to the house he bought for his son and daughter-in-law with his savings eight years ago. He knocked on the door, but a stranger opened the door.

When the old man asked, he found out that the house had already been sold by his son and daughter-in-law.

He didn't try to call the two of them, because after he informed them of his retirement, the two numbers were never connected.

Poor and boundless forty years, raised a white-eyed wolf.

He took out the letter that his granddaughter sent him last time, and searched all the way according to the address mentioned above, praying that the address would not change.

Fortunately, he found his granddaughter who had been away for many years.

When Uncle Li left, Lu Qi was already sensible. She remembered this grandfather whom she hadn't seen much, and she always missed him.Ever since I learned to write letters, I have often thought about sending letters to my grandfather. Internet communication must not be easy for an old man, and writing letters is also the most suitable way of communication.

But her parents wouldn't let her spend money to send letters.

She could only carefully save money, find an opportunity to secretly send a letter, and attach her own address, hoping that her grandfather could write back to her next time.

With the money sent by my grandfather regularly, my parents spent it recklessly and didn't do anything serious to make a living except for repaying the mortgage.He didn't care about Lu Qi at all, and he would be beaten after drinking from time to time.But Lu Qi is too young, if she does not rely on this deformed family, she has no way to survive.

So the secret communication across borders became the brightest color in the girl's world, and a flower of hope bloomed in the girl's heart. She hoped to meet the grandfather whose face had been blurred by time in her memory.

Later, when Lu Qi graduated from junior high school, her parents divorced, sold the house, and divided up the money. Lu Qi's custody was awarded to her mother, but the couple quietly left the city with a tacit understanding and abandoned the family. Her "oil bottle".

At the same time, they still tacitly accepted the hard-earned money from the old man from across the ocean.

Later, Lu Qi, who was homeless, went to an orphanage, where she helped to work and solved the problem of food and lodging, and got the opportunity to continue her education.

She continued to save money, and wanted to send a letter to her grandpa, telling her grandpa what her parents had done, but before the letter was sent, she received the news that her grandpa was about to return to China, and she thought of the address written in her last letter It was the porter of the junior high school, so she calculated the approximate time when grandpa would come back, and waited there every day, for fear of missing it.

That day, the grandfather and grandson finally waited for this encounter.

Like many touching stories, relatives who have gone through hardships hug each other and cry, telling the hardships and longings of the past, and dreaming of a happy life of mutual dependence in the future.

But in reality, that's often not the case.

Lu Qi didn't expect that this long-awaited encounter turned out to be the beginning of their nightmare.

49. Indulging time

The willow tree in the second courtyard shakes its green branches, and the figures under the tree pass by in a hurry, day and night, like this every day.The scenery of a year ago and the present are strangely intertwined, and in an instant, everything changes.Willow branches fall green in spring and decline in autumn, and they will still be green in the coming year, but people are doomed to birth, old age, sickness and death, and what happens is hard to change.

If everything is predestined, then fate is certainly unjust.

On the day Lu Qi and grandpa met, grandpa suddenly fell into a coma. After being sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

The hospital recommends immediate hospitalization to prolong the survival period as much as possible. There is no better choice.

But how could an old man, a weak young girl, and two people who were abandoned by their relatives have the ability to bear such pressure.

Both financially and spiritually.

Lu Qi proposed to drop out of school to work, but Uncle Li firmly refused.

But even so, her "extended" semester was lived in panic all day long, as if it was stolen.

Knowing that Uncle Li's condition had deteriorated and he had no strength to refute, Lu Qi finally ended this period of worrying and restless study life.As he wished, he was sent to the hospital ward and embarked on the road of responsibility alone.

Washing dishes in restaurants, cleaning public toilets, distributing leaflets...

Cold eyes, contempt, scolding...

After suffering all the bitterness, she grew up from a little girl who was scolded and beaten in the willow forest but dared not fight back, to a person with a straight back and responsibility.

A lot can change in just half a year.Suffering catalyzes human growth.

The twilight dyed the emerald green willow leaves a little crimson, and the setting sun sank on the willow branches, half covering his face, as if he couldn't bear it, but also seemed to feel pity.

The two teenagers who walked out of the second courtyard side by side were silent all the way.

One kind of sorrow, two feelings.

Life is too impermanent, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, whether it is joy or sadness, whether it is a dream or a pity.Maybe some things, some words, should be done earlier when they can be done, and there should be no hesitation when they can be said.

"Mu Chen." The voice fell gently on the silent lake, calm and determined, serious and solemn, calm and low, falling into the heart of the listener, but it shocked the blue waves.

"Huh?" He responded softly, trying to guess something, but couldn't guess anything.

There is no longer any way to be as frank and frank as facing others, because my own mind is already clear.

When they met in the hospital, Mu Chen actually saw Jiang Hao a long time ago.

Among the crowd, Jiang Hao's tall figure was particularly eye-catching. Such a figure may not be uncommon, but Mu Chen could recognize it at a glance, it was Jiang Hao, not someone else.He is no longer wearing the ugly school uniform of No. [-] Middle School with no sense of design, but a pure black T-shirt, which makes the neck exposed by the collar more fair, but it does not look weak at all, but has a kind of cold beauty.He lowered his head slightly, but he didn't look depressed. The shadows in his eyes made him look more profound and charming. His short black hair looked very good under the lights of the hospital.

Mu Chen was fascinated, as if he was indulging in a peerless famous painting, he couldn't feel the surrounding environment, and there was only that one person left in the picture in front of him.

He wanted to call out to him, let him raise his head, and let the picture present a richer dynamic, but he couldn't bear to make a sound, destroying the scenery in front of him.

Until Jiang Hao approached the window, his picture was about to leave his sight.

He made a sound, almost forgetting that this is a hospital.

He had already yelled, and the people around him cast strange glances at him, and he remembered to restrain his volume.

Eyes fixed on that place, hoping, expecting, but not sure,
