youth and time

It would take at least ten hours to take the high-speed train from Yangcheng to Kunming, Yunnan. Jiang Yufan and Jiang Huan, a total of four people, took the high-speed train to Kunming, Yunnan at [-] o'clock early in the morning.

Waking up too early, the two children Jiang Yufan and Jiang Huan fell asleep as soon as they got in the car, and they didn't wake up until they were about to eat lunch.

After lunch, Jiang Yufan took out his mobile phone and looked through Moments and QQ Zone while drinking water. Suddenly, he didn't know what he saw, choked a sip of water into his throat, and coughed violently.

"Oh, what's the matter?" An Ruosu quickly wiped Jiang Yufan's mouth with a piece of paper.

Jiang Lin looked amused: "Can you choke on drinking water?"

Jiang Yufan's cheeks were very red from coughing, he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with a paper, waved his hand and said, "I just... just choked, cough cough, no, nothing."

After dismissing his parents with a few words, Jiang Yufan went to check his phone again.

What surprised him was not Moments and Qzone, but the news that Shen Yi'an sent him.

[Shen Yi'an]: [crying loudly] [crying loudly] [crying loudly]

[Shen Yi'an]: Brother Fan, why don't you give me a special paper-cut?

[Shen Yi'an]: Why do you treat Brother Zhou differently?

[Shen Yi'an]: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Yufan gritted his teeth and sent a message to Zhong Chaozhou: Did you show Shen Yi'an the paper-cut I gave you?

Zhong Chaozhou replied in seconds: Oh, I just put it on my table. Shen Yi'an saw it when he came here today, and asked me who gave it to me, so I told him.It wasn't to show off to him.

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Although, it seems that there is no difference between you and showing off specially.

[Jiang Yufan]: Shen Yi'an even came to me and said he wanted it too.

[Zhong Chaozhou]: He will give it to you if he wants it?no!You said it was specially given to me, and it cannot be made for others.

[Jiang Yufan]: Who told you to let him see it.

[Zhong Chaozhou]: I don't care, anyway, you can't do it for others!

[Jiang Yufan]: ...

[Jiang Yufan]: I'm too lazy to talk to you.

After sending this sentence, Jiang Yufan immediately turned on the mute, threw the phone aside, and opened a book to read.

Jiang Huan was sitting next to Jiang Yufan. Jiang Yufan read the book for a while before realizing that Jiang Huan seemed to be extraordinarily quiet today.

Jiang Huan is not a rowdy character, and she doesn't talk much, but as long as Jiang Yufan is around, she will harass Jiang Yufan to relieve the fatigue of the long-distance travel, but today she doesn't seem to give Jiang Yu a single extra look sail.

Jiang Yufan turned his head to look over, and found that Jiang Huan was holding a water glass, staring at the seat in front of him in a daze, his brows were full of frustration.

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Yufan thought for a while, took out a few candies from his pocket, put them in his palm, and handed them to Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan looked at the candies. Even if Jiang Yufan didn't say a word, she knew what it meant. She smiled, tilted her head and leaned her head on Jiang Yufan's shoulder: "What are you doing? Coaxing me ?”

Jiang Yufan: "...um."

"Uncle is fine, don't worry too much."

"Eat the sugar, it will make you feel better, really."

Hearing these words, Jiang Huan burst out laughing suddenly, jokingly said, "Oh, you remember when Zhong Chaozhou comforted you when you were four years old.

Jiang Huan changed the subject, sat up straight suddenly, grabbed Jiang Yufan's collar with one hand, and lowered his voice: "Just last time, I asked you a question, can you give me the answer now?"

Jiang Yufan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head away: "What... what's the problem?"

"Don't play tricks on me." Jiang Huan reached out and broke Jiang Yufan's head back, "Look into my eyes, and tell me the truth, how do you feel about Zhong Chaozhou?"

Jiang Yufan: "..."

"I don't feel anything, just..."

"Don't talk about ordinary friends to me. I have never seen you feel so uncomfortable when my brother neglected you."

"..." Jiang Yufan choked for a moment, and said, "It's nothing if I say it, so don't ask."

Jiang Huan: "..."

Jiang Huan stared at Jiang Yufan for a while, watching the other party's eyes evasive and erratic, and he roughly figured out the current relationship between the two of them in his heart.

She sighed, sat down in her seat, lowered her head and flipped through her mobile phone, and said in a low voice: "I can't control you, and you won't let me control you. You should keep your sense of proportion and don't go too far."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Yufan: "Oh."

Jiang Huan: "..."

Are you fucking willing to say "oh" to me?

When they arrived in Yunnan, Jiang Ming's colleagues were already waiting at the high-speed rail station.

The person who came was a very young, sunny and handsome man. Jiang Lin and An Ruosu had met several times when they came to the hospital some time ago, and he seemed to be an intern.

When the young man saw Jiang Lin and An Ruosu, he greeted them with a smile: "Teacher Jiang, Teacher An."

The young people knew that the husband and wife were people's teachers, and they always called them teachers.

Jiang Lin and An Ruosu nodded with a smile, exchanged a few simple greetings, and the young man helped put the luggage in the trunk of the car.

The young man is a very enthusiastic and cheerful person, chatting and laughing with his family all the way, very talkative, and his words are humorous. Jiang Huan was silent for ten hours on the high-speed rail, and now he was also amused by the young man.

The car turned left and right on the unfamiliar road, and soon, tall white buildings came into view

——The hospital is here.

The young man's words stopped abruptly, and the expression on Jiang Huan's face also became stiff.

Jiang Yufan looked at Jiang Huan worriedly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Seeing Jiang Huan's gloomy face through the rearview mirror, the young man couldn't help but said, "Officer Jiang is fine."

Jiang Huan didn't even have the strength to pull the corners of her mouth to smile, she said softly, "I know."

The young man pursed his lips and said nothing.

Jiang Huan stood downstairs in the inpatient department of the hospital, with his head down, not speaking.

Jiang Yufan gently pulled Jiang Huan's sleeve: "Sister."

The winter in Kunming is not very cold, at least compared with Yangcheng in the Central Plains, it is much warmer.

But at this moment, Jiang Huan felt cold all over his body, and the gusts of wind blowing from the inpatient building made Jiang Huan tremble all over.

"Huanhuan."

Han Yi, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, appeared at the entrance of the inpatient building in casual clothes.

When the young man saw Han Yi, he greeted him warmly: "Hi sister-in-law!"

Han Yi nodded with a smile, took Jiang Huan's hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "Go up, Dad is waiting."

Jiang Huan: "..."

A group of people took the elevator, Jiang Huan and Jiang Yufan watched the number of floors on the elevator display board increase one by one, and their hearts beat faster and faster.

Ding--

The elevator door opened, and the entrance was full of policemen in police uniforms.

The young man led them to the ward, and said as he walked, "This floor has been taken over by our police, and the entire floor is covered by police, so it is absolutely safe."

The young man stood still outside a ward, and after whispering something to the two policemen guarding the ward, the two policemen left, and before they left, they all gave Jiang Huan the same look.

The young man turned sideways, nodded and said, "That's right here."

No one in the family moved, Han Yi pushed Jiang Huan and Jiang Yufan to the front: "You two go ahead, Jiang Ming misses you two very much, since I woke up, I have to say your names every day."

Jiang Huan: "..."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Huan stood in front of the door of the ward, reaching out to turn the doorknob, but he never had the courage.

Her eyes were red, her lips were tightly pressed, her body trembled slightly, and she tried her best not to cry.

Jiang Yufan's hand was also raised and lowered, and then raised again.

The others didn't urge them, and just quietly waited for the two children to adjust their emotions.

A police officer passed by, looked at him curiously, and cast a questioning look at the young man. The young man shook his head at them with a blank expression, and stretched out his index finger to press his lips. The police officer understood, turned and left immediately.

After being quiet for a long time, Jiang Huan suddenly smiled. She pulled the corners of her mouth, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Rock paper scissors, whoever wins between us will push the door."

Jiang Yufan didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

"rock-paper-scissors--"

Jiang Huan looked at his scissors and Jiang Yufan's open palm, and said with a smile, "It's fate."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Huan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand to open the door of the ward.

Jiang Ming was lying on the hospital bed, the ventilator had been removed, only the right hand was connected to the infusion tube, and the left hand was holding a book, reading it with relish.

Hearing the door of the ward, Jiang Ming raised his head with a smile, and looked at the two children standing in front of him, just like the scene they would see every day before they were six years old.

Jiang Ming was holding a book in his hand, and sat on the reclining chair behind the smoke of tea. With a warm smile in his eyes, Danfeng beckoned them to have some snacks.

The sun shone from behind Jiang Ming, making him look extraordinarily warm and upright.

However, ten years ago, Jiang Ming was in good shape, tall and mighty. After ten years of undercover torture, Jiang Ming is now skinny and bony. His face is still handsome but full of vicissitudes. His eye sockets are deeply sunken, and his cheekbones are too thin and tall. The two arms protruding from the quilt are even more haggard, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the warm smile on the handsome face.

"You are here." Jiang Ming's voice was very hoarse, he pointed to the two boxes in the corner, and said something very familiar to Jiang Yufan and Jiang Huan, "It was sent by my colleagues to see me two days ago Let's share some snacks between you two."

Jiang Yufan looked at the person on the hospital bed who was completely different from the high-spirited uncle in his impression, his heart felt sour, his eyes were hot, and his nose was sore. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling. My eyes hurt, but nothing compares to the pain in my heart.

Jiang Huan couldn't suppress her emotions. She looked at the devastated and disfigured father she hadn't seen in ten years on the hospital bed. Tears flowed down like broken beads: "Dad..."

That one, he will put himself on his shoulders, walk around the streets and alleys of Yangcheng, buy snacks for himself, and kiss my father in the kitchen with my mother, that is tall and handsome, high-spirited, heroic, and chats and laughs with colleagues , the anti-narcotics police who defend the country day and night, why...

Why……

Why...became like this...

Jiang Huan rushed to the hospital bed and knelt down on her knees with a thud. She tightly held Jiang Ming's left wrist and buried her head in the quilt. She could no longer restrain her sadness and hid her tears in the corner for ten years. , and finally shed down unscrupulously, soaking the bedding: "Dad—"
