On Friday afternoon, Shen Zhao booked the high-speed train from Jiangcheng to Tingcheng.It took two hours.

Since returning from Russia, Sier hasn't messaged or called her for a whole week.She called back and only said that she was busy with work.

She could hear the tiredness in Sil's voice.

Long-distance relationships are very difficult and need two people to maintain.Shen Zhao understood this from the very beginning.

So there was no class on Friday afternoon, so she directly booked a high-speed rail ticket to Tingcheng, planning to give her a surprise.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Tingcheng, the weather was not so good, it seemed to be raining in the gloomy sky.

Shen Zhao has been to Tingcheng twice in total. Rui Sier has a one-person rental house. Because her work place is far away from home, she rented a house in the urban area.

At this time, Sier should not be off work yet.Shen Zhao has a key on her body, which was specially assigned to her by Si Er before.

Shen Zhao didn't call Si'er, planning to give her a surprise, so when he arrived, he went to a nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients, made several dishes, and bought a small cake, which was to make up for the regret of her last birthday.

The room is not big, but it is very warmly furnished, and the orange furniture makes her feel like home.

Shen Zhao also bought two mood candles. After they were all arranged, she took a photo and posted it on Moments.Set Sier to be invisible.

Accompanying text: surprise [love] picture

In Song's office on the top floor, Song Ling caught a glimpse of the picture on Moments on her mobile phone. She pointed it away with her fingers, and stared at the picture on the screen, as well as the cake on the picture.

Until eight o'clock, Shen Zhao didn't wait for Rui Sier to get off work.

Seeing that it was getting later and later, Shen Zhao saw that the dishes on the table were already cold, and the candles were almost half burned...

Does she work overtime so late?

Shen Zhao picked up his cell phone and called Rui Sier.

The call notification sounded over and over again, but no one connected on the other end.

Shen Zhao hung up the phone and dialed again.

Still no one answered.

For the first time, Sier didn't answer her call.

Shen Zhao looked down at the screen of the phone and was stunned for a while.

Maybe it's because people in love are easy to worry about gains and losses, or it's the insecurity that their long-distance relationship brings to her, so she instinctively told her.

Problems arose between her and Sil.

She didn't know when it started.

Obviously when they were in Jiangcheng, they were still very good, they had a deep affection for each other, and talked a lot about their future plans.

But it's only been less than a month, so what's the problem?

This is the third time she has come to this strange city.

Just because of Sier.

Shen Zhao kept calling and sending messages to Resil, and finally at nine o'clock, Resil called back.

Shen Zhao quickly connected and said anxiously: "Hello, Sier—"

The voice on the other end was tired, and said softly, "Zhao Zhao, what's wrong?"

Shen Zhao was always worried about her, and didn't answer her, but asked her hastily, "Sier, are you okay?"

Resil on the other end came out of the ward, her voice gradually lowered, "It's okay, my mother just had an accident, I'm in the hospital right now, I didn't hear your call just now when the phone was muted."

"Hospital?" Shen Zhao stood up, walked out while putting on his shoes, and asked worriedly, "Then how is she doing now?"

Rachel: "I'm fine, I just got a little scared."

Only then did Shen Zhao feel relieved.

Si Er is a single-parent family, and she has depended on her mother since she was a child. She knew this when she and Si Er first met.

For Si Er, her mother is her only and all.

Shen Zhao bit her lip and told her: "Si'er, I'm in Tingcheng now..."

Resil was stunned for a moment, "Why did you come to Tingcheng? Where are you now? I'll pick you up."

Shen Zhao picked up the bag and was about to go out, "I'm in your rented house, don't come back first, tell me which hospital you are in, I'll go see my aunt."

Rui Sier looked back at the ward, and the person lying on the bed looked calm and fell asleep.

She said softly, "It's raining outside in Tingcheng No. [-] courtyard, so be careful on your way."

Shen Zhao: "Okay, I'll go there now."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhao went out with an umbrella, hailed a taxi at the gate of the community, and went to Tingcheng No. [-] Hospital.

There were still a lot of people on the road at this point, and the rain was a bit heavy, and the rain poured on the car windows, converging into a torrent and flowing down.

10 minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

Shen Zhao got out of the car with an umbrella, and bought a bouquet of carnations in the flower shop at the door.

Rui Sier sent the address and floor, and Shen Zhao walked towards the inpatient department and went to the neurology department on the eleventh floor.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and there was no sound in the corridor of the hospital. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Si Er standing in the corridor.

She called softly: "Sier—"

Rachel turned her head and went to meet her: "Here we are."

Shen Zhao walked in a hurry, short of breath, and she asked, "Is Auntie asleep?"

Rachel: "Just fell asleep for a while, and now I'm awake."

Rui Sier took Shen Zhao into the ward, and saw a woman sitting on the bedside, about 50 years old.

Shen Zhao hugged the bouquet and greeted with a smile: "Auntie, I'm Shen Zhao, Sier's...friend."

When the word "friend" was mentioned, Shen Zhao paused slightly.

Mother Rui raised her eyes and saw that Shen Zhao's face froze for a moment, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face, then out of politeness, he bent his mouth and said, "Hello, thank you for coming to see me."

Shen Zhao put the bouquet on the bedside and sat by the bed for a while.I asked about the accident, and said that I was walking on the road in good order, when a flower pot suddenly fell from the top of my head and hit it in front of me. Fortunately, I didn't hurt my vitals, only scratched the skin on my feet.

But the person was extremely frightened, and Rui's mother collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Shen Zhao stayed in the ward for 10 to [-] minutes, during which time she was the one talking to Si'er. Si'er's mother didn't seem to like her, so she just answered her a few words.

She was a little disappointed, she pursed her lips and stood up, saying, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Rui Sier also noticed it, and immediately followed her when she saw her going out.

Rui's mother suddenly called her: "Si'er——"

Rui Sier stopped, and Shen Zhao stood at the door, turned around and held the corner of her lips, showing a smile, indicating that she was fine, then turned around and walked away.

The moment he turned around, tears filled his eyes.

With tears in his eyes, Shen Zhao lowered his head and walked forward. Suddenly, a nurse came up to him. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry..."

Seeing her red eyes from crying, the nurse froze for a moment, and then asked with concern, "Are you... all right?"

Shen Zhao had a sore throat, shook his head, and asked hoarsely, "Where is the toilet?"

The nurse pointed out, "Go to the end, turn right and you will see it."

Shen Zhao: "Thank you."

In the ward, Rui Sier stood at the door in a daze, looking at the leaving figure, feeling as if she felt uncomfortable.

She turned her head, frowned and asked, "Mom, why did you treat Zhao Zhao like this?"

Mother Rui took out a photo from under the pillow, threw it on the quilt, and asked in a cold voice, "Please explain to me, what is your relationship with her?"

Rui Sier's eyes fell on the photo, it was a photo of her and Zhao Zhao in Jiangcheng, she held Zhao Zhao's face, smiled and kissed her...

The setting sun fell on them, and everything looked warm and beautiful.

Resil put away her thoughts and looked up at her, "Why do you have this photo?"

It was obvious that the photo was taken by her and Zhao Zhao. From that angle, it could only be a passer-by or someone who knew them.

Rui's mother: "You don't need to worry about how I know, I just ask you, is it true?"

Rachel was silent, her mother was a traditional person.

Such a thing, not to mention that it happened to her, even if it was an irrelevant person, she would not be able to accept it.

Seeing her silence, Mother Rui trembled with her pursed lips, her voice raised unconsciously, and said angrily, "Mom raised you up and sent you to college, not for you to do such nonsense!"

Her only family member and her favorite relative, at this moment, actually described her love as "not three not four".

Rachel raised her head, her eyes were slightly sore, her voice was trembling, and she shouted hoarsely: "Mom, don't talk about her like that! Why does love have to define gender? Women and women can also be together—"

"Don't tell me these things!" Mother Rui interrupted her in a cold voice, "I gave birth to you and raised you by myself, if you insist on doing these sick things, I'll jump off the eleventh floor immediately go down!"

"Mom—" Resil's eyes were filled with tears, her whole heart was twisted like a knife, and her voice choked up, "Do you have to force me like this? Why can't you understand me, let me pursue what I like, I am yours Daughter, you are not an enemy, why can't you fulfill me and let me pursue a happy life?"

Rui's mother couldn't listen to her words, but she was her own daughter after all, and she still felt distressed when she saw those scarlet eyes. She advised her, "Si'er, think about it for your mother. Your father left early. Raise you little by little, from four years old to 22 years old, your mother worked hard to earn money for your education, now you are sick, and you finally found a good job, it’s time for your mother to enjoy the blessings, you can’t let Mom is disappointed, when should I do what, you are an adult, don't be willful, everything Mom says is for your own good, will Mom hurt you?!"

Rachel lowered her eyes, and tears dripped from her eye sockets, drop by drop, falling on the floor tiles.

There is no solution to such a topic, and it will never be solved.

She had known that such a day would come, and she imagined countless possibilities, but what finally appeared was still the worst outcome.

One of the two choices is to give birth to her mother who raised her, or Zhao Zhao.

She never dared to think about such a question.

Seeing that she was silent, Rui's mother slowed down her voice, and persuaded her: "Si'er, listen to Mom, break up with her, and stop dating, you understand?"

Rachel didn't respond to her, and turned around to leave the ward.

Walking to the door, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

Resil raised her head, staring at Shen Zhao who didn't know when she was standing outside the door.

She called softly: "Zhao Zhao..."

Shen Zhao's face was covered with tears, she looked up at her with her eyes closed, her heart ached like a knife.

She shouldn't have come. If she didn't come, she wouldn't have heard such words.

Shen Zhao picked up the bag hanging at the door of the room, turned around and rushed out of the ward, running towards the elevator.

Rui Sier quickly wanted to catch up, "Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao—"

"Sier!" Rui's mother hissed in the room, and at the same time, the whole person fell from the hospital bed to the ground.

Resil stood at the door, watched Shen Zhao flee from the back, and entered the elevator.

Shen Zhao cried and went downstairs. The sky outside was pitch black, and the pouring rain seemed to be pouring down. She forgot to take her umbrella, so she rushed into the rain field regardless, and stopped a taxi by the side of the road.

"Go to Tingcheng Railway Station." She said tremblingly out of tune.

Si'er didn't follow, didn't call, and didn't send any WeChat messages.

Just like in the rental house tonight, she couldn't contact her and completely cut off contact with her.

When he arrived at the train station, Shen Zhao booked the nearest train back to Jiangcheng.It was already after midnight when we left the train station.

In just half a day, it seemed like a long time had passed since she fell from heaven to dusty hell.

The moment she got out of the train station, Shen Zhao couldn't bear it anymore. She squatted at the empty intersection in the middle of the night, trembling uncontrollably, hugging her knees and weeping silently.
