between heartstrings

"Long time no see, ma'am."

Trying to straighten his back, with a smile in his eyes, Wei Qiao said: "After we parted, we haven't been able to talk to you properly. Today, I'm here to chat with you for a while, about Si Zhe, and about the future."

The branches and leaves of the cypress trees sway in the wind, accompanied by the rustling of birds, like the whisper of a lover.Wei Qiao closed his eyes and listened for a while, and when he opened them again, his pupils were clear and clear.

"You often say that with us, Si Zhe will always be a child. Even if he earns a lot of money and has the ability to live alone, your love for him will not decrease in the slightest from his birth to your old age. and change."

Wei Qiao agreed, "Me too."

"Praise your son secretly, don't let him hear it, otherwise he will be proud."

Wei Qiao turned his back, as if he had changed back to the teacher he was when he fell in love with Ban Yue, and said slowly: "Si Zhe has grown up so well, it's not all due to us, it's more due to his willingness to Seeing' and 'accepting' the 'good' parts of this world, and gradually forming correct cognitions and values, as well as an excellent personality, he did a great job."

Slightly basking in the sun with his face raised, Wei Qiao said: "Si Zhe's greatest advantage is that he can use what he 'gets' on people who really treat him well. People tend to coexist for too long because of a relationship, and it becomes easier Ignoring the most important people around him. This is his most precious quality, and it is also my greatest blessing as a father."

After a pause for a while, Wei Qiao's eyebrows and eyes gradually became happy, and he smiled and said, "It's a good thing to report something to you."

"Si Zhe is talking about friends." Wei Qiao said with emotion, "If you were still here, you would definitely appreciate Xiao Chu more than I do."

"Did you know? After dating Xiao Chu, Si Zhe became different from the past. He probably didn't even realize this change."

"We now have two sons." Wei Qiao choked up and said, "I suddenly look forward to seeing what the children will look like in the future."

"At the same time, I also want to tell you that I will try my best to do what you asked me to promise you before you left."

"I promise you." Wei Qiao stared at Ban Yue's photo and said with a smile, "Love you longer."

The phone displayed the time at 53:[-], Wei Sizhe turned his head and said to Chu Jiahe, "It's time to go."Wei Qiao stood guard in front of Ban Yue's tomb for half an hour, and Wei Sizhe was about to fulfill the task his mother had given him, "Try not to let your father be stuck in longing for a long time."

Every time he came here before, Wei Qiao would always yell at Wei Sizhe, angry at him for not allowing him to stay too long in the cemetery.This time, Wei Qiao obediently let Chu Jiahe get into the wheelchair, put the crutches across his legs, and turned his head repeatedly reluctantly.

Returning to the parking lot, the engine sounded, Wei Qiao put on his seat belt, and asked Wei Sizhe, "Si Zhe, is it cold?"

Wei Sizhe started the car and drove away from the cemetery, and replied: "It's almost summer, it won't be cold anymore."

"The cemetery is not as cold as outside." Wei Qiao turned to Chu Jiahe and asked with concern, "Is Xiao Chu cold?"

Chu Jiahe replied: "Just now we were waiting for you standing in the sun, it's really not cold."

As the car drove up the highway, Wei Sizhe glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time, and Wei Qiao softened his face after asking the question, and looked out the window calmly.Every time after seeing Ban Yue, Wei Qiao would always be silent for a while. This situation usually lasted for about three days, but this time, Wei Sizhe always felt that his father's state was different from before. His thoughts were on his mother's side, and the first thing he did was to care about the well-being of the people around him.

Back in the nursing home, Wei Sizhe helped Wei Qiao change into pajamas, and Chu Jiahe brought a table of rice from the cafeteria, the aroma was alluring.The three of them surrounded the small table on the bed, and each of them was holding a bowl to serve each other. At this moment, Dr. Fang opened the door and walked in, disturbing the happy atmosphere of the room.

Stopping in his footsteps, Doctor Fang looked at Wei Qiao and said, "Hey, it's so warm, it's really inappropriate for me to come, I'll ask you to play chess tomorrow."

"No, you came just in time. I just had something to discuss with you." Wei Qiao put down his chopsticks, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and asked, "How does our nursing home give the nurses a holiday?"

Chu Jiahe was taken aback when he heard that, and Dr. Fang was even more puzzled by Wei Qiao's question, and answered truthfully: "Nurses work from eight in the morning to eight in the evening, and the nursing home provides board and lodging, and they have two days off a month."

With his right index finger pointing to his left arm, Wei Qiao frowned and thought, "Can we have weekends off?"

Dr. Fang blinked his eyes, and looked back and forth between Wei Qiao and Chu Jiahe: "The regulations of the nursing home are, no."

The wrinkles between the brows became more serious, and Wei Qiao asked, "How can I make it appear?"

Dr. Fang said: "After all, it is a rigid rule, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Wei Qiao stroked his chin and said, "Xiao Fang, have you coveted my crystal chess set for a long time?"

Dr. Fang hissed, rubbed his hands and said, "This weekend, in fact, you can get it if you want. Xiao Chu is your one-on-one caregiver. As long as you agree, I will issue a health plan for you." Report, go to the dean to explain the situation clearly, and you should be able to approve the leave on weekends as appropriate."

Wei Qiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "In 10 minutes, I'll finish my meal right away, and we'll have another plate."

Doctor Fang said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Before the door was closed, before Dr. Fang could leave, Chu Jiahe anxiously stated: "Mr., I don't go anywhere on weekends..."

"From next week to the end of June, let Si Zhe stay with you for the weekends before you go home." Wei Qiao interrupted Chu Jiahe, glanced at the smiling Wei Sizhe, and said, "Young man, you should When you’re in love, don’t worry too much, this is the best stage of life, and the whole world can’t bother you.”

As expected of a university teacher, Chu Jiahe was speechless.Wei Sizhe scratched his ears and asked, "Then what are you going to do this weekend?"

"I can do too much, listening to lectures, playing Tai Chi, playing chess, and watching dramas." Wei Qiao replied, "I won't waste my good time, and neither should you."

With enough water and food, Wei Qiao took out the chess, and Doctor Fang showed up on time.Before Chu Jiahe had time to wash the tableware, he and Wei Sizhe were kicked out of the room by Wei Qiao.

Returning to the dormitory on the second floor, he took out the key and turned the lock, Chu Jiahe asked, "What time did you sleep last night?"

"01:30." Wei Sizhe confessed honestly, "Qi Qian has a project in hand, and he is going to hold a seminar this morning. I helped him calculate the funds he planned to invest in the early stage."

"You arrived at the nursing home at seven o'clock in the morning, and you can sleep for up to four hours." Chu Jiahe led Wei Sizhe to the bed and pressed him on the bed. you."

Wei Sizhe discussed: "The clothes are dirty, I'll just sleep on the table."

Looking playfully around Wei Sizhe's face, Chu Jiahe smiled and touched the tip of his nose with him, and kissed his lips: "Mr. The nap ruined your hairstyle, right?"

"Isn't this leading you in yet?" Wei Sizhe said with his thoughts broken, "You still have to pay more attention to your image in front of the person you like."

Leaning close to Wei Sizhe's ear, Chu Jiahe whispered, "Let me meet Mr. Wei who is sleepy, okay?"

The heat made his ears itch, Wei Sizhe had no choice but to obediently take off his leather shoes against Chu Jiahe, turned his body sideways with his back to the wall, facing outward, and closed his eyes.

Chu Jiahe spread out the towel to cover his waist and abdomen: "Are you usually used to sleeping on your side?"

Wei Sizhe said, "Isn't this for the convenience of showing you my dazed appearance?"

Chu Jiahe almost laughed out loud.

It was indeed too exhausting, Wei Sizhe immediately lost consciousness as soon as his tense nerves relaxed.He slept very lightly, but he never woke up. When he heard the sound of the door opening and closing, Wei Sizhe thought he had slept all day. There was a dense soreness in his bones, and his limbs were numb.

Wei Sizhe narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it twenty minutes?"

"It's been almost two hours." Chu Jiahe helped him up, first raised his hand to smooth Wei Sizhe's hair, and coaxed, "The hairstyle is not messed up, and it's still very handsome."

Wei Sizhe broke his power in a second and was completely awake.

"I didn't snore, I didn't push the quilt, I didn't talk in my sleep, I didn't grind my teeth." Chu Jiahe opened the curtains, letting in the sunlight to warm Wei Sizhe's back, "Mr. Wei sleeps well."

Wei Sizhe nodded at Chu Jiahe from the air, shook his head and smiled lowly: "You should be glad that we are in your dormitory now."

Chu Jiahe sat next to him, opened his arms and asked, "What if it's at your house?"

The sun was burning hot on his skin, Wei Sizhe embraced Chu Jiahe, and swayed lazily: "I promise you won't have the energy to tease me."
