Manhattanhenge

Su Hui had dreamed of such a scene several times.

In fact, compared to this kind of meeting, some dreams are more direct. It is a real wedding, with white gauze and bouquets, and a cream cake that is about to be melted by expensive crystal lamps.Ning Yixiao in the dream invited him, and they sat at the head and tail of a long table, happily talking about how precious the encounter with his wife was.

Su Hui originally thought that she would need to expend a lot of energy to maintain the peace on the surface, which was the case in her dream.

But when this moment really happened, Su Hui realized that he could be so calm, like a competent bystander.

Maybe it was because of too many and too many blows in these years, each pile of piles had already hammered him into a piece of numb scrap iron, and he lost his sensibility.

What's more, being together with Ning Yixiao seems to be a matter of the previous life.

When they parted, they were all students with nothing. When they met again, Ning Yixiao was about to become someone else's husband.

Su Hui suddenly realizes that, no matter in the past or now, their encounters are all accidental.Good accidents, bad accidents, meaningless accidents, accidents without position and qualifications.

No, he has.

His current position is to give Ning Yixiao a beautiful engagement.

"Hello." Su Hui tried to get himself out of his emotions, but politely shook the familiar hand back, and let go after a short while.

Ning Yixiao remained expressionless, looked away, and said to Bella, "I didn't hear you mention this matter."

Bella shrugged, "That's because I didn't get it done before. I won't talk nonsense about things that are not fixed."

After speaking, she smiled at Su Hui, "Let's have lunch with us, just to chat about ideas, what do you think?"

Su Hui half drooped her eyelids, her eye circles were red, and she looked very tired.There seemed to be a voice in his mind, constantly telling himself, run away, run away.

Morality and longing are pulling each other.

He finally bowed his head and took out the folder from his well-worn bag, "Miss Jones, this is the first draft, and I came here today to give you this. I'm sorry, I have something very important to do, and I may have to Excuse me."

Su Hui spoke very slowly, but he spoke every word clearly, and his expression didn't seem to want to stay for a second.

Seeing that he was not in good condition, Bella took the folder and said gently: "It's okay, actually, you can tell me, I'll let them pick it up from you, I'm sorry to trouble you for a trip today. My driver is Downstairs, if you don't mind, he can send you off."

"It's fine." Su Hui declined, "Thank you."

"This is what it should be. Thank you very much for considering my commission."

While talking, Bella's cell phone rang. She glanced at it and complained to Ning Yixiao, "It's them again. I've already said that it's fine to decide casually. Desserts are no big deal. Getting married is really troublesome..."

Su Hui just wanted to leave.

"Miss Jones, I'll go first then."

Bella, who was answering the phone, immediately smiled and waved, saying see you next time.

Su Hui turned and left.

Ning Yixiao silently stared at his back.

"It's all right, didn't you send sour cherry cake last time, that would be good..."

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Ning Yixiao clearly saw Su Hui's footsteps faltering for half a second.In the end, he left and never looked back.

His eyes were astringent, and he turned his head calmly to look at the snow outside the window.It was snowing heavily.

This picture is so familiar.

Bella hung up the phone, elbowed Ning Yixiao's arm, "Hey, isn't it pretty?"

Ning Yixiao was very cold, he only glanced at her, and didn't even speak.

"I said Eddy."

Bella clasped both hands, with the expression of a little girl, "You are so pretty, and your voice is nice, gentle and gentle. I haven't met such a charming guy for a long time. He is indeed an artist. Tell me, with this kind of What does it feel like to be in love?"

Ning Yixiao didn't give her any feedback, only suppressed silence.

Bella had no choice but to ask and answer, "It should be unforgettable for a lifetime."

It was really unbearable, Ning Yixiao finally said, "You talk a lot today, have you changed your sex? Do you like men again?"

"Why are you so aggressive?" Bella twitched her lips, and took out the mirror lip gloss from her bag, "It's just a sigh, but you, why do you always show such a creepy expression? Please, although it's only a month, anyway Also pretend carefully, don't be too perfunctory."

Ning Yixiao's face was still very cold, "Why didn't you say hello to me before looking for someone?"

"Why should I tell you?" Bella snapped the small mirror shut, "Is this important? Engagement is a formality, don't you care about everything..."

"What do you want him for?" Ning Yixiao asked.

"What an installation artist can do, of course, is to make installation art." Bella thought he was weird, but since they were all allies so far, she had no choice but to tell the whole story, "Because she told me that when I saw the exhibition before I saw eddy's work and liked it very much. I wanted to meet her again, but I never had the chance. Originally, I wanted to create a chance for her..."

Bella said and sighed, "You know what happened next. Anyway, I just want to annoy Chloe, let her see that I am engaged to someone else, and the artist she admires most will appear at the engagement ceremony." Works. I didn't feel anything before, but seeing this Eddy looks so handsome today, I still feel a little uncomfortable..."

Ning Yixiao has never been able to understand the way this young lady thinks, let alone at this point in time, he can't think at all.

Out of selfishness, he didn't want Su Hui to appear at this impromptu engagement, whether it was his person or his work.

"I don't agree, there's no need for this." He didn't even want to use the word engagement.

Bella gave Ning Yixiao a blank look, "Why? I don't care, the money has been paid and the contract has been signed."

"Then break the contract, and I'll pay for it."

"I don't want compensation." Bella felt that he was out of his mind, "It's none of your business." She lowered her head to herself, and opened the folder that Su Hui gave him just now, and it was indeed his manuscript.

"The painting is really good, and the calligraphy is also beautiful." Bella admired it carefully.

Ning Yixiao couldn't speak, just seeing his words felt short of breath.

Bella put away the folder and tilted her head triumphantly, "I framed it in a picture frame, Chloe is so mad."

There are reasons for Bella Jones' arrogance and acting like a young lady. Unlike Ning Yixiao, who has risen from the bottom, she is a girl born with a golden spoon in her mouth.

His father, Stephen Jones, is a business tycoon with countless holding companies. His business empire covers the whole world. He is still expanding the territory in the field of technology. He is also one of the shareholders of Ning Yixiao Company.

Her mother is a famous fashion designer and the editor-in-chief of a famous fashion magazine. She has promoted countless new stars in the industry, including Bella's ex-girlfriend, Chloe Chen, who is currently a hot photographer in New York.

Bella is the youngest daughter of the Jones family. She inherited her mother's tricky taste in fashion, and she has no interest in taking over the company. There are four siblings in front of her, and they are almost out of touch. Therefore, she also inherited her mother's mantle and became a designer. own brand of the same name.

When I was filming and promoting the first batch of products of my personal brand, I met Chloe, who was also a newcomer, and started an underground relationship since then.

Because of the great disparity in background and Stephen's strict control, Bella's inheritance rights are even limited, unless she agrees to marry the person her father chooses. Ning Yixiao, who single-handedly entered Silicon Valley, is one of the candidates.

Bella has a rebellious personality and doesn't care about inheritance at all. Even if all the money is frozen, she is willing to be with the person she likes, but Chloe refuses, thinking that the price of Bella's betrayal is too heavy to bear, so she proposes to break up.

In autumn, Bella came to Ning Yixiao's company in person and proposed a deal straight to the point. She knew that Ning Yixiao needed a new round of financing to resist the acquisition of a big company, and she also needed Ning Yixiao to be the key to her trust and inheritance .

At the same time, she also desperately needs a vigorous engagement banquet to give Chloe a hard push.

Ning Yixiao even asked at that time: "Aren't you afraid that she doesn't care at all?"

Bella said confidently, "I was afraid that she would suddenly come to snatch the marriage, so I decided to wear flat shoes that day."

Ning Yixiao still doesn't understand why Bella is so sure that a person really loves her.

At least he couldn't, and probably never could.

Coming to the hotel ballroom with Bella wasn't on his agenda today, and even Karl wondered why he was willing to take a six-hour flight from Los Angeles to New York all of a sudden.

But it was because the day before, Ning Yixiao, who had stayed up all night preparing to negotiate with Aocha for the acquisition, heard the discussions of his subordinates in the company tea room.

"It seems that you said you refused several times before?"

"Yeah, but last night I made an impromptu call. Jason told me that he also said that the other party was in a hurry to ask for money."

"It seems that artists are also inseparable from banknotes. Who would not be tempted by such a large sum of money?"

These sarcastic words caught Ning Yixiao's attention at a certain moment, and the sudden subconsciousness made him stand still and think, so much so that it scared the employees who were planning to go back with coffee.

"Shaw...would you like some coffee?"

Ning Yixiao asked, "Who are you talking about?"

The employee answered cautiously, "It's the artist that Bella has been asking people to look for. It seems to be called Eddy."

"Surname." Ning Yixiao said with a cold face.

"Su, he's a Chinese."

It feels bad to have a hunch come true.The obsessive-compulsive disorder happened again. During the six-hour flight, he kept forcing himself to count the seats in the business class over and over again, getting up and going to the bathroom to wash his hands again and again, until his hands became red and he had to put on gloves.

Ning Yixiao was confused, and this confusion continued until he went to the place where Bella and Su Hui met without authorization, and continued until the moment he saw Su Hui, which turned into anger that had nowhere to vent.

He really wanted to know if Su Hui knew about it from the very beginning, even when he talked face to face with him during the oolong in Seattle, he had already been told that this person in front of him was the engagement object of that high-class New York lady.

And that rebellious celebrity had invited him early on to become his client.

The only one kept in the dark is himself.

Su Hui didn't say anything, even though he was sitting in front of him, he still remained silent, quietly listening to himself trying to recall the past, trying to evoke a little memory of his past relationship, and finally left indifferently.

Even if Su Hui stood in front of him and handed over the manuscript in front of him, he never frowned once.

Ning Yixiao returned to her property in New York, had a whole day of conference calls, and barely ate.

Carl tried several times to order food for his boss, but it was in vain, he didn't move at all, he had to eat by himself.

Although he was a little fortunate because he would never order these expensive meals for himself, but today he could eat three meals in a row, but Karl was also very worried, afraid that something might happen to Ning Yixiao.

He had no choice but to secretly tell Jing Ming, the only friend of his boss and the investor of the company, that the other party happened to be in New York, and soon drove over in his rather exaggerated Pagani, and Karl took an hour's rest because of this.

Ning Yixiao sat on the office chair and read the papers sent by the researcher. Jing Ming came suddenly, and no one informed him, not even his assistant.

As soon as he entered the room, Jing Ming was stimulated by the smell of disinfectant and sneezed.

Seeing that Ning Yixiao was obviously losing his face, he approached him with a playful smile, "I brought you a bottle of good wine, which was brewed by myself in my father's farm when I was young."

"Your house is empty. If you didn't know it, you thought you bought it for office use." He was familiar with driving, and took the decanter from the bottom of the glass display case, which he put down before.After opening the bottle and waking up the pot, Jing Ming sat contentedly on Ning Yixiao's sofa, waiting to drink.

"Fortunately, I found someone to move a set of sofas, otherwise there would be no place to sit."

Ning Yixiao didn't raise his head, "There are chairs."

"It's so boring. It's so big that you can even set up a tennis court." Jing Ming joked, "Look how nice the lawn is outside. Do you want me to set up a children's playground for you? Get a reporter to take pictures and build a future." good father figure."

Ning Yixiao couldn't stand his mouthful running train, "You came here just to drink?"

Jingming smiled cynically, "Really, I didn't come here to ask you to read the financial statements, but just to drink." He poured a glass and shook it, "Try it? This wine is not for ordinary people to drink. Arrived."

He took it over and handed it to Ning Yixiao across the table.Ning Yixiao took it and took a sip.

"How is it?" Jing Ming asked immediately.

Ning Yixiao put down his wine glass, "It's average."

"Why is it mediocre? You have no taste!"

"I'm not a wine taster."

Ning Yixiao's mood was visible to the naked eye, and Jing Ming could also see it, half leaning against the table, lowered his voice and asked, "No way? Don't tell me you're unhappy because of the engagement, what time is this? Is the feedback running a little too slowly, isn't the brain very good?"

He spoke as if he was pouring beans, there was nothing Ning Yixiao liked to hear, he didn't look at Jingming's face, "It's not because of this."

"Tch, I don't believe it, so why else?"

Jing Ming was unceremonious when he complained, but he only said a few words of comfort, "Bella's mother must have arranged a large number of media, and she is still covering it to collect explosive news. The old and the new are married, and the son-in-law of the Jones family is a Silicon Valley unicorn." CEO, there is something to watch. At that time, those financiers will not be able to catch up, and our C round will almost be in place."

He said his only worry: "This matter, no matter how you say it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, that is, after the two of you broke up, it is difficult for Mr. Jones to explain it. He must know that you have joined forces to deceive him and want to take it out on you." It's troublesome."

Ning Yixiao drank the remaining red wine in the glass.

"At this point in the chess game, Mr. Jones also knows very well that we are all mutually beneficial. If it really comes to that point, it will definitely not be my turn to annoy him, but his youngest daughter."

"But they are father and daughter." Jing Ming reminded him.

Ning Yixiao looked up at Jingming, "We are also in an investment relationship of real money, grasshoppers on the same rope."

"Aren't you very clear about this?" Jing Ming didn't understand, "Then what's bothering you?"

Ning Yixiao didn't speak.After a while, he stood up and walked to the window, "I met him today."

To be precise, he took the initiative to seek guilt.

"Him?" Jing Ming didn't understand at first, but when he saw Ning Yixiao like this, he suddenly realized who he was talking about, and his mouth became awkward, "That, that... is that you almost wanted to find him. The ex who dropped out of school?"

He didn't feel good, and suddenly recalled that Ning Yixiao almost froze to death when he ran to Iceland.

The infatuated kind usually do not end well, so he quickly persuaded, "You don't want to rekindle the old relationship, do you? This time is not suitable, and it has been many years."

Ning Yixiao was silent for a while, and then spoke again, her voice became very soft and weak.

"I just can't figure it out."

I can't figure out how he can't really be reluctant.

She couldn't figure out whether Su Hui had ever loved him.

Seeing him like this, Jing Ming couldn't help but feel worried, after all Ning Yixiao is a character who is bound to win, and he will get what he wants at all costs.

"I said you should also forget that it's been six years, not six months, not six days, but a full six years. Since he was able to dump you so badly that he didn't contact you once, that's enough to explain the problem."

"Maybe they are all married and have children, and they may have changed partners. What can't you figure out? There is no eternal love in this world. You are so smart, why can't you get out?"

Jing Ming moved out the job he cared about the most, "Now the acquisition and the C round of investment are imminent, don't be stupid."

Seeing Ning Yixiao's terrible expression, he couldn't help but sigh again, feeling sorry for him.

He has personally witnessed Ning Yixiao's most depressed stage, drinking, smoking, obsessive-compulsive disorder, working all night and all night, neither eating nor sleeping.

Come again, let alone the deity, even a bystander like him can't stand it.

Jingming put down his jokes and told him seriously, "Ning Yixiao, you can't spend your whole life with a kitten doll."

These words were like an invisible sharp knife, cutting open his heart completely.He didn't respond, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he had been punctured, he should stay away from strangers.

What Jing Ming said is correct, and he is also very clear that he has no position now.

Dolls don't change, people do.

Six years later, Ning Yixiao firmly believes that there is nothing eternal in this world.

But as long as he sees Su Hui again, he will no longer be able to deceive himself.

Seeing that Su Hui is not doing well, it is himself who is sad.

It was rare for Carl to have free time to mix salad in the living room on the first floor. This time he was not the only one, but he also brought his assistant secretary Amy with him, so it was finally not so boring.

He began to recall the entrepreneurial history to Amy: "Did you know that Shaw can only sleep once in three days for the operation of the company without eating, and after all night, he can still show his products to investors full of energy? For several hours, I didn’t know what supported him to do this.”

"No girlfriend?" Amy's curiosity was seriously shifted.

Carl felt that his topic was being spoiled by her, but he still explained: "No, at least in the few years I have been with him, he has never had a private life."

"Then...Miss Jones..."

Carl looked around and said cautiously: "This may really be a business marriage. He didn't even ask me to order them a separate dinner. Even if it's a blind date, there must be one or two."

Suddenly, Ning Yixiao came downstairs, and the gossip duo stopped talking, pretending to be serious about eating salad.

"Carl, come here."

Ning Yixiao arranged another weird job for him, asking him to check the installation artist that Miss Jones had found.

When he found the photo of the other party, he suddenly realized that this was the young man who had coffee with the boss last time?He was always impressed by beautiful people.

After going back and forth, Karl, who thought he was careful, found that something was wrong.The boss cares about this person so much, but when he mentions it, he has a bad expression...

They are all from China, and they are all handsome. Could it be...

That night, in the staff cafeteria, Carl squinted his eyes and told Amy at the next table his outrageous conjecture: "You said... Shaw won't have any long-lost brother?"

·

Su Hui turned back from Manhattan to the Brooklyn hospital, took the subway, and returned to school.When we left the station, the snow finally stopped.

He was so exhausted that he could barely stand in the subway, he listened to the class with headphones on, held on, and went to the teaching assistant's position in the Department of Fine Arts as usual. The office was empty, so Su Hui took out the manuscript paper and continued to work.

Not long after, Professor White called, interrupting Su Hui's painful rumination.He asked Su Hui to go to his office, which already gave Su Hui a bad feeling.

When entering the door, Su Hui saw Professor White's frowning eyebrows, and thought to himself, he was really well-informed, and Bella Jones might have looked for him more than once before.

"Eddy, don't you disagree?" Professor White cut to the chase, "What is it for this time? I don't believe it's really because of money."

Su Hui actually smiled, "It is indeed because of the money."

The professor stared at his face and finally sighed, "What happened?"

Su Hui stared at an old coffee stain left on his table, and paused for a long time before saying, "My grandma is sick, liver cancer." He omitted many details, and described all this as clearly and plainly as possible, in order to hope Don't worry about him, the professor.

But it was useless. After listening to Professor White, he stood up and walked in front of him, "Why didn't you tell me? I can help you."

"You helped me too much." Su Hui lowered her eyes, "I can't afford it."

The atmosphere was dull, Professor White put his hand on his shoulder, patted him, and said only one sentence, "You know, I regard you as my child."

He said it when we first met.In the early years, he and his wife had a child who was as old as Su Hui, but unfortunately suffered from a rare disease and did not survive.

The first time he saw Su Hui on the cold streets of Chicago, he felt familiar and felt heartbroken.

"You don't want to accept my money, I understand, but medical expenses are a lot of money. In any case, your grandma's health is important, and you have to learn to compromise." White said to him, "I thought about it just now. , chatted with Eden, and he said that he also wants to help you, and do a fundraising bazaar together.”

At lunch time, Su Hui was taken to Professor White's home, and Mrs. White gave him a hug when they met.

She said pityingly, "God will bless you."

Su Hui doesn't really believe in the existence of God, but if one day he dies and sees God, it will be difficult for him to tell him about the suffering and injustice he has encountered.

When he came out, he found that there was an extra sum of money in his account, [-] U.S. dollars, in the name of a teaching assistant's bonus, and the remitter was Professor White.

He sent a message and wanted to refuse, but the professor didn't accept it and told him that Eden was waiting for him at the gate of the school building.Su Hui had no choice but to write an IOU by hand and leave it in the professor's office.

Eden is a very warm-hearted person, with the sunshine and straightforwardness of a young Mexican boy.

After learning of Su Hui's grandmother's illness, he was very sad, and took over the entire fundraising event, resolutely not letting Su Hui worry about it, and asking him to take care of his grandmother wholeheartedly.To this end, he also teamed up with several other graduate students of Professor White to make cupcakes and donuts for charity sale.

Su Hui was very grateful to them. He took care of his grandmother in the hospital during the day, and at night, he returned to the rented house and cooked the small wontons that his grandmother had made and frozen in the refrigerator for his friends to eat.

The fundraising bazaar was held on the weekend, in front of the school's theater.

In the bleak winter, there were many fewer people on the street than in the past, but their charity sale was still going on smoothly.Eden specially designed a big poster and put it aside. Many kind-hearted people came forward, read it carefully and bought their donuts or cakes. Some even gave a lot of money and put them in their cake boxes. .

In fact, it was not an easy task to stand here and let everyone passing by watch their pain. Their kindness made Su Hui even more powerless.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and he couldn't help thinking while waiting for the charity, if he was more capable, would grandma not have worked so hard?

"We have made a lot of money." Sara was very happy. The small cakes she made were favored by many people. "It's really good. I can even open a small cake shop."

Su Hui also smiled, the smile was very weak, "Then I will visit every day."

The other female classmate was a Japanese student Aoi. Seeing his red eye circles, Aoi couldn't help but feel distressed, so she went up to hug her, "Don't be sad, we all support you."

Eden nodded, "Yeah, everything will be fine."

He sorted out the remaining donuts, rubbed his hands together, and waited expectantly for the next well-wisher to arrive.

But what they waited for was an uninvited guest.

"Who asked you to hold a charity sale here?"

Several tall and burly young men came over. The leading blond man, Mike, was a student of the Photography Academy. He had a conflict with them in the gallery before. The cause of the conflict was racial discrimination, and it was aimed at Su Hui, who is of Asian ethnicity. And Aoi, also humiliated Eden, who is of Mexican origin.

This time Mike appeared again, and it was hard not to think it was intentional.

"We reported it to the police." Eden was neither humble nor overbearing, "If you just came to trouble us, I will go to the school security."

There was a lot of traffic on the street, Mike smiled, "Go find it, guys like you who can only beg, you should leave, this place doesn't belong to you, look at your own dirty skin! Damn yellow people!"

"You'd better pay attention to what you say!" Sarah, who is also Caucasian, couldn't bear it.

After what happened last time, Su Hui probably understood the character of the other party, and wanted to make a big deal into a small one, so he took Eden's arm, and Eden just replied, "Really? Then you white people grew up in this land from the very beginning. up?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence angered Mike, he rushed forward and kicked Eden hard in the stomach, Su Hui saw him subconsciously pushing him, and several people following Mike also rushed up to pull him away, When the fist came down, Su Hui had nowhere to hide and was knocked down to the ground.

Eden's hard-working poster was smashed and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the incident was serious and everyone was scuffling together, Kui immediately ran to find the school security and pulled them away, but the situation was serious and she also stabbed the school leaders.

Mike's father was an entrepreneur and donated a lot of money to the school, so his mistakes were largely erased and nothing happened.

Su Hui was called to talk alone.

The director sat at the desk, his face half-closed by the shadows, "You know, your status is very embarrassing, neither a student nor a teacher. It was Professor White who strongly recommended you to us, so that we can stay here You as a teaching assistant."

It was not the first time for Su Hui to hear these words, and he also understood what he meant.

"I know."

"It's a bit offensive to say that, but the truth is, we had a lot of reasons to let you leave the school, but we decided to keep you, Eddy, and it was a very difficult decision."

The donation finally raised [-] US dollars, which can cover the hospitalization fee of the general ward for four more days.Su Hui advanced the teaching assistant's salary, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

As expected, he was not too disappointed, bought water and took medicine, and returned to the teaching building.Su Hui has a ledger.Bookkeeping is a habit he has developed over the years.He recorded every money he got in his notebook, and then deducted the expenses in the hospital.

In the upper left corner of this page of the account book is the memo he wrote before, reminding himself that he will go to the clinic this weekend for electroshock treatment, which will cost one hundred dollars a time, not including the anesthesia fee.

Su Hui stared at it, pondered for a moment, and finally crossed out all the treatment reminders.

In the afternoon, he was in the student studio, discussing ideas with an undergraduate who was preparing for a competition.

It is a discussion, but in fact, most of the other party is explaining and drawing demonstrations. Su Hui sits on the side and uses a notebook to organize his thoughts. After the other party finishes speaking, he gives his own suggestions one by one. He will beckon and ask students to come over and look at his computer.

"Your main tone is the three-dimensional oil painting style. If the color is stronger, you can replace the tulle with a more densely colored texture cloth in the choice of material. Of course, this is just my suggestion..."

Looking at the information and pictures provided by Su Hui on the screen, the students felt enlightened, "Thank you Eddy, I think I have a new idea, thank you so much!"

In this art school in New York, Su Hui's illness was treated tolerantly. He didn't need to hide it, and he could face himself squarely.Most of the students who usually come into contact with know his ups and downs, but even in the worst times, he is at most not in school and has never had any bad behavior.

Even in the Yu period, as long as taking medicine can control them and make Su Hui speak, he will do his best to help them.

Students in the Department of Fine Arts like this teaching assistant very much.

"Can I invite you to eat pizza?" The student warmly offered the invitation, "Or dumplings, I heard that the Chinese here like to eat them very much!"

Su Hui smiled and refused, "You're welcome, I still have something to do today, how about next time?"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, he left the school and saw a familiar car on the block of the department building.

"It's so cold." Liang Wen came over, smiled and handed a cup of something in his hand to Su Hui, "Hot chocolate, drink some to refresh yourself."

Su Hui took it, but didn't drink it.These days, he kept in touch with Liang Wen intermittently and told him about his grandmother's illness.Su Hui knew that Liang Wen was very worried about his state now, but he really couldn't put on a better look.

"Don't worry." Liang Wen opened the car door for him, "I'll take you to the hospital."

Su Hui didn't answer, got into the car in silence, and sat in the co-pilot.

Just after fastening the seat belt, Liang Wen handed over a band-aid.

"The corner of the mouth is broken. Your grandma feels distressed when she sees it." After he finished speaking, he helped Su Hui put down the rearview mirror.

This was the first time Su Hui looked in the mirror in the past few days, and he looked bloodless in the mirror, with scabs and bruises remaining at the corners of his mouth.

Su Hui tore off the Band-Aid and stuck it to the corner of her mouth to cover up a little scar.

In Liang Wen's consulting room, he had shown enough ugly things, no matter how bad, silence was already the most decent way to get along.

But along the way, Liang Wen talked to him very caringly, using some guiding words that psychiatrists used to mix up his daily life, trying to get Su Hui to react more, but Su Hui didn't speak until he arrived at the hospital.

He looked haggard, as if he had returned overnight when Liang Wen first saw him.

"I hired a female nurse for you." Liang Wen said, "I took care of my mother before, a very careful aunt. It is always inconvenient for you to do it yourself, and she is more professional."

Su Hui nodded, and finally said, "Thank you. The fee..."

"You don't have to worry about the fee." Liang Wen smiled, and followed him to the inpatient department, "I've paid for it in advance for three months."

Su Hui didn't want him to be like this, "I still have money now."

"Listen to me, I'm a doctor." Liang Wen spoke softly and had a clear attitude, and accompanied Su Hui to the ward.The nurse he hired has already started working and is wiping grandma's body.Seeing this, the two went out again.

"I want to consult again to see when the operation can be arranged for us." In the corridor, Su Hui said in a low voice.

Liang Wen glanced at his watch, "It should be too late to wait for the doctor."

Seeing grandma's pale face, Su Hui was very worried. The doctor's words were still in his ears last time. He couldn't wait for the speed of the cancer cells to spread. If he could have the surgery one day earlier, he hoped it would be a little longer.

After waiting for two hours, the previous attending doctor finally came out of the operating room. The other doctor looked solemn and told him the situation straight to the point, "Your grandmother's physical signs fluctuated again this morning. We re-examined and the condition has deteriorated. And there are new complications, this time the situation is even trickier than before."

As a doctor, Liang Wen understood the doctor's words very well, "You mean to give up the previous treatment plan now? Is the operation still possible?"

The doctor looked at him, and finally looked at Su Hui, "The conditions for this kind of surgery are very strict, and I have never done a similar operation, so my suggestion is to transfer to another hospital immediately, but we have contacted some hospitals that have this condition. They don’t have beds right now, and resources are relatively tight.”

The speed at which his condition deteriorated could not stop Su Hui from panting, like a huge stone was pressing on him, getting heavier and heavier.

"If you stay in this hospital for treatment, the safest thing is conservative treatment, but the treatment effect..."

"The most important thing for you now is to support yourself. If you fall down, what will your grandmother do?"

Hearing these words, Su Hui's frozen expression finally loosened a little.

"I want to go out and have a cigarette."

Dragging his heavy legs, Su Hui came from the inpatient department to the garden outside the first floor of the hospital.It is said to be a garden, but a large piece of lawn here has been completely withered, covered with snow, and the redwoods planted on the side are also in shape.

Liang Wen accompanied him to the bench and heard Su Hui say thank you.

"Thank me for what?" Liang Wen smiled
