After staying in the hospital for two full days, grandma was finally out of danger.

The doctor in charge communicated with him about his grandmother and told him that as long as she gets through this stage smoothly, her immune system will gradually recover, and everything is moving in a good direction.

Su Hui's hanging heart finally let go.

He hardly slept these two days, the nurse advised him to go home and rest, but Su Hui disagreed, and just wanted to watch over grandma, waiting for her to wake up.

"She may not have woken up so quickly, otherwise, the weather seems to be getting warmer, Eddy, you go home and tidy up, bring a slightly thinner quilt over here, and bring some old lady's favorite food by the way, she can wake up eat."

Hearing what the nurse said, Su Hui agreed to leave the ward and returned to the apartment by car.

He was a little uneasy in his heart, and he was a little worried about Ning Yixiao's work problems during the journey, but the road was like a mountain, and he had no resources, so he couldn't help.

Su Hui wanted to call Ning Yixiao, but was worried about disturbing his work, so he decided to give up after deliberation.

Back at the apartment, he opened the door, saw the ice cream that greeted him immediately, squatted down, hugged him, and stroked his head, "Good boy, ice cream, I poured you two days' worth of food, and you eat it all Is it finished?"

While talking, he got up to change his shoes, but suddenly found Ning Yixiao's shoes.

Ning Yixiao is at home?

Su Hui thought that he probably came back to catch up on sleep, or was working at home, but there was no one in the living room.Ice Cream ran up the stairs directly, as if hinting to Su Hui that his master was on the second floor.

So Su Hui also went upstairs, passed the aisle, and came to the empty main study room. As expected, Ning Yixiao sat on the sofa.

But he didn't look well, back hunched over, elbows on knees, hand on forehead, looking tired.

"Ning Yixiao?"

Su Hui called his name softly, walked over, squatted halfway in front of Ning Yixiao, touched his arm very carefully, and asked with his face up, "What's wrong? Is it because something at work hasn't been resolved yet?" ?”

Ning Yixiao didn't answer him immediately.

He looked very sad, which made Su Hui feel sad too. He tried to comfort him, "I must be exhausted these two days. Is there any discomfort? Let me rub it for you, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yixiao leaned over and hugged Su Hui.

Su Hui paused, then stretched out his arm, put it on Ning Yixiao's back, and gently stroked it through the soft knitted sweater. In order to let Ning Yixiao recover quickly, Su Hui smiled and coaxed him, "I knew that you must be very tired. Thank you for your hard work. Hug you."

Su Hui acted like a docile kitten, leaning against him, obviously she was also scarred, but tried her best to comfort him.

Ning Yixiao suddenly understood why Su Hui would carefully ask him about the content of the letter on the day they reunited.

It turned out that what he was talking about was not the stationery that Ji Tailu showed him at all, but the letters he wrote to himself day after day while he was trapped in the dark mental hospital.

The problem that had troubled Ning Yixiao for six years was finally solved when he saw the contents of those letters.

At one time, he thought that Su Hui didn't really like him, it was just a moment of high emotion, and he seemed to be in love, but it was actually just a pathological attack.It was precisely because Su Hui never loved him that he could leave so easily and disappear completely.

And he has been abandoned by his biological father since he was born, and his mother left quietly. He has never cried and complained to the abandoner like a child, and has long learned to accept silently.Even if he met Su Hui again, he couldn't shamelessly ask why he was back then.

The same goes for Su Hui, he thought he had received those letters, thought he hadn't given any reply, and didn't want to see him, didn't want to save him, but when we met again, Su Hui only dared to ask in a low voice, after he changed the subject, I never dared to mention it again, or even dared to express any sadness and disappointment.

They almost missed the second.

Ning Yixiao felt pain just thinking about it, every word Su Hui wrote was like a soft knife scratching his heart.

"sorry."

Hearing Ning Yixiao say this, Su Hui was a little confused, and even felt scared in his heart.

"Why do you say this?" Su Hui's tone was very light and cautious, "Did something happen?"

He tried to stand up and pulled Ning Yixiao up, "You must be suffering from lack of sleep, can I sleep with you for a while?"

Ning Yixiao didn't stop her, followed Su Hui into the bedroom, let him spread out the quilt, and let herself lie down.

Su Hui also lay down, and Ning Yixiao faced each other, getting very close. He took off Ning Yixiao's glasses, reached out to touch the bridge of his nose, and touched his eyelids with his fingertips, as if wanting him to close them. Eye.

"Let me coax you to sleep." Su Hui whispered, "I coaxed the ice cream, and he fell asleep soon."

Ning Yixiao was amused by his words, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then fell down again.

Su Hui patted his shoulder lightly and repeated in a low voice, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, when you wake up, you won't have any troubles, and everything will be fine."

Ning Yixiao opened his eyes and looked at him, "Su Hui."

"Ok?"

"Did you comfort yourself like this for the past six years?"

Su Hui's hand paused, and he was stunned for a while.

Hearing Ning Yixiao talk about six years, his heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ning Yixiao held his hand and frowned, "Su Hui, I don't want to see you, I'm really angry with you, but I never thought of not wanting you."

Su Hui frowned, and mist filled his eyes.

He didn't understand, so he didn't say anything.

"I haven't had any letters from you at all, not a single one."

Grievance and pain appeared in Ning Yixiao's eyes very rarely, these emotions have nothing to do with him normally, he is always calm, rational, and in control of everything, but now he looks like a child who has missed everything.

"I just received it this morning. It was packaged and sent by Dani."

Even if he received a letter, he would go all out to find Su Hui, no matter how far away he was, he would be brought back, how could he be imprisoned there and suffer.

Su Hui finally realized what he was talking about, his brain was running sluggishly, he suddenly felt breathless, like a stressed cat, he felt physiological discomfort, and his eye sockets turned red all of a sudden.

"I haven't received it... But, she said that she sent it, and I wrote the address very carefully... She promised me that she promised me that she would send it..."

Su Hui looked into Ning Yixiao's eyes, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, she shed tears and smiled bitterly, "So I was cheated, right?"

"They all lied to me, and I wait for your reply every day." Su Hui's tears grew more and more, crying like him who borrowed his mobile phone at the bus station four years ago, "Why did you lie to me? I didn't do it." What's wrong..."

Ning Yixiao's heart ached so much that she took Su Hui into her arms and hugged her tightly.

"Baby, it's not your fault."

Hearing him call himself that, Su Hui cried even harder, "I thought you didn't want to see me anymore, I thought you hated me, but I can't help it, there's nothing I can do, I want you to live better I don't want you to continue to suffer..."

"They broke my brain, I can't remember your phone number, I want to find you, but I can't find you, no money, I have nothing..."

"I know, I know." Ning Yixiao was in so much pain that he didn't know what to say, he could only stroke Su Hui's hair, "I really want to see you, I don't hate you, I have always loved you."

Su Hui couldn't say a word.

His six years were like a huge nightmare, no matter how well he hid it, as long as his loved one intervened, those scars and pain would be invisible.

All along, everything I had believed in collapsed at this moment.It turned out that it was a misunderstanding from the very beginning. It turned out that the person he thought had helped him had actually lied to him for six years, so that he lost even the courage to imagine that Ning Yixiao still loved him.

He also doesn't want to be so vulnerable, and wants to be like others, face himself bravely, face the one he loves, be more confident, and be more straightforward.But what can he do? He has tried everything he can try, and he has done everything he can do, but nothing has come to fruition.

Su Hui really wanted to know why, since he had never done anything bad in his life, why his fate was so cruel.

"Ning Yixiao, it hurts so much..." He leaned against Ning Yixiao's arms, weeping uncontrollably.

Ning Yixiao hugged him, her tone was gentle enough to make him sad, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it won't hurt anymore."

The years they lost will never come back, and no one can repay them, but fortunately, no one can separate them.

After a long time, Su Hui's excitement calmed down a little, he regained his senses, and found that he had wet Ning Yixiao's clothes from crying, and regretted, "Your clothes..."

"It's okay." Ning Yixiao kissed his red eyelids from crying, "It's all my fault, I misunderstood you, when we first met, I thought the letter you said was something else, and said bad things to you. "

Su Hui shook her head, "I misunderstood you too, I have misunderstood you all the time, and I am not good either."

"Then you forgive me, and I forgive you, okay?"

Su Hui nodded, and asked Ning Yixiao how he found Danni. After listening to him explain the ins and outs, he didn't say anything, didn't complain, just kept silent for a while, and then whispered, "Those letters...you read all of them. ?”

"Ah."

"That, that was written when I was very ill. It's messy and badly written. You...you..."

Before Su Hui could finish speaking, Ning Yixiao kissed his lips, stepped back after a while, and pressed against his forehead, "It's not messy at all, I can imagine your suffering just by looking at it, although it may not be as good as it is." One tenth. Su Hui, even if I only receive one letter, I will never leave you alone. No matter how far away, I will go to see you and take you back to our home. Every time I have done in the past six years The first thing is to try to give you a home."

Su Hui pursed her lips, held back her tears, and nodded.

"Thank you."

Ning Yixiao smiled, "Thank me for what?"

"You found the letters, and you found me."

Ning Yixiao couldn't imagine how long he would have to wait before meeting Su Hui again if Carl hadn't booked that hotel and the hotel hadn't mistaken the room.

Is it really going to be 40 years old?

"I found you too." Su Hui raised his eyes and looked at him, "This world is so big, we met again."

Su Hui suddenly felt that he was the luckiest person in the universe. Not everyone can meet their favorite person again, but he can, and nothing else matters.

"Actually, I went to see you the next day."

Ning Yixiao looked at Su Hui, and suddenly said, "The night after we broke up, I thought a lot about it, and I wanted to forget it, but when I saw the things you left behind, I thought, after dawn, I still want to get back together again." Give it a try, in case it can be saved."

But Su Hui knew that after that snowy night, they would never have dawn.

He has been taken away.

"I went to your house, and your grandfather showed me what you wrote on the letter paper, and told me that you don't actually like me, it's just that your illness sent me a similar signal of liking to me."

"You believe it?" Su Hui felt aggrieved.

Ning Yixiao touched his face, "I believed it at the time, because I was really not good enough at that time, and I never understood what you liked about me. After reading those, many things seemed reasonable."

He lowered his eyes, "After coming out of your house, I was riding a bicycle to go back to school, but I was hit by a car on the road, the driver hit and run, leaving me alone in the snow, I thought I would die, I felt very relieved, but I was rescued, and I was in a coma for ten days in the hospital."

Ning Yixiao couldn't help sighing, "Ten days... If I hadn't been in a car accident, I would go to Shanghai to look for your mother or your grandmother in these ten days, and I should be able to track down your whereabouts."

Good luck tricks people.

Su Hui didn't care about "what if" at all, he stretched out his hand to touch Ning Yixiao's leg, "You were injured because of that car accident, didn't you? Show me, but you won't even show me."

Unable to hold back his pitiful eyes, Ning Yixiao thought for a while, and took off his shirt, which was wet from Su Hui's crying, and faced him honestly for the first time in six years.

There were scars on his ribs, the inside of his left arm, and his back. The sutured wounds were hideous, and each place was the shadow of Ning Yixiao over the years.

Su Hui bit her lip, trembling unconsciously.

"Can I touch it..."

Ning Yixiao smiled, "Of course."

Su Hui stretched out her hand, touched it lightly, and asked with a sob, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Ning Yixiao was afraid that he would be upset, and his tone was very relaxed, "It's been alright, but it looks a little scary."

Su Hui leaned over, pressed his lips against his scar lightly, kissed him, and tears fell down.

"And your leg is also injured."

"The leg injury is quite serious." Ning Yixiao hugged him, "It took almost half a year to recover, and I gave up at first, thinking that I should forget it, but I persisted, so I was a day late If I go abroad in [-], I have to work harder at S University and graduate early.”

In fact, Ning Yixiao was also very scared at that time. Lying on the hospital bed, he always thought about what to do if Su Hui regretted it one day.

What if he came back and found himself.

He can't just become a cripple like this.

"Actually, I secretly saved a sum of money before. I planned to use it when we were studying abroad together. I recorded it in the account, and the title was Kitten Raising Fund."

The smile in Ning Yixiao's tone gradually faded, "Later, this money also saved me. Although I couldn't continue raising the kitten, the money saved for the kitten paid a large part of my hospital expenses."

Su Hui couldn't bear to listen anymore, he could imagine how helpless Ning Yixiao was at that time.

He has nothing, no relatives, no friends, such a serious car accident, and no one who can take care of him by his side, he has to carry it all by himself.

Su Hui was full of guilt, if she hadn't broken up with him that night, all of this might not have happened.He will not come to his house the next day, nor will he encounter sudden car accidents.

But Ning Yixiao seemed to understand Su Hui's guilt, and said to him: "It's all in the past. Later, I found out that this car accident was not accidental. The traffic police showed me the video during the investigation. I know that person. He He also had grievances with my mother, anyway, he will get what he deserves."

Ning Yixiao saved a lot of content. He didn't want to mention anyone he didn't want to mention at this time. He just wanted to comfort Su Hui, so he hugged him and said deliberately, "Aren't these scars ugly?"

Su Hui immediately shook his head, "It's not ugly."

"Really? But I think it's too scary to take off your clothes in front of you."

Su Hui held Ning Yixiao's face and kissed his lips, "It's not scary at all, don't think so, I will be sad."

"Do you pity me?" Ning Yixiao asked.

Su Hui shook his head, as soon as Ning Yixiao misunderstood him, he acted anxious.

Ning Yixiao rubbed the tip of his nose and said softly, "Don't pity me, little cat, just like me."

Su Hui had no choice.

"I already like you very much."

Ning Yixiao stroked his smooth waist and kissed the tip of Su Hui's nose, "It's not enough, you have to like me more and be inseparable from me."

"Okay." Su Hui nodded obediently, put her hand on the back of Ning Yixiao's neck, and stroked his hair.

Ning Yixiao leaned over and kissed him a gentle and long kiss, without lust, just caring and comforting.

They all know that the gaps and shortcomings of the past few years cannot be filled in a day, so they secretly decided tacitly to recover everything they lost little by little.

Su Hui gently stroked Ning Yixiao's wound, softly called his name, hummed a very soothing tune to him, and finally put the tired Ning Yixiao to sleep.

And he never left, but lay quietly in his arms. Ren Ning hugged him uneasy all night, and gently touched his eyebrows, nose, lips, and chin with his fingertips. He whispered hello from the bottom of his heart.

Are you OK?

haven't seen you for a long time.

You belong to me again.

Before Su Hui had time to talk to each unfamiliar scar in detail, Ning Yixiao seemed to be having a nightmare and hugged him tightly all of a sudden.

Su Hui immediately raised her head, only to find that Ning Yixiao shed a tear in her dream.

He was stubborn even with tears, and stopped when he fell to the root of the mountain without slipping, forming a small crystal lake.

"Don't be afraid." Su Hui kissed away his tears, "I'm here."

Never disappear again.

After sleeping for two hours, Ning Yixiao woke up and found that Su Hui was also asleep. He played with the sleeping kitten a few times and found it very interesting, but the work calls came one after another, forcing him to get up deal with.

"Shaw, there is an impromptu meeting at Edge right now, please come over if it's convenient for you."

There was no other way, Ning Yixiao had no choice but to leave a note, put it on the bedside table, changed his clothes and went out to work.

Su Hui slept very deeply this time, he hadn't felt so at ease in a long time, and when he woke up, it was already dark.With belated awareness, he realized that Ning Yixiao was not by his side, and only then did he see the note he left.

[There is a temporary meeting, I will come back as soon as possible, wake up and send me a message, I ordered a meal, you remember to eat. ——Ning Yixiao]

Su Hui obeyed and sent him a message.

[Kitten: I'm awake. ]

He got up and washed his face, went back to the room and packed some grandma's things, and was about to go out to buy some of her favorite food, when suddenly Ning Yixiao called.

"Documents? Electronic?" Su Hui withdrew from the entrance, followed Ning Yixiao's instructions on the phone, went upstairs, and opened his notebook.

"What's the password?" Su Hui asked.

"Your birthday."

Su Hui's ears felt slightly hot, he said "Oh", and entered his birthday, and it was unlocked.

"Hmm... D drive, wait a minute, speak slowly, the path is too long." Su Hui didn't expect Ning Yixiao to have so many folders, one inside the other, all with the same date plus English, very easy Difficult to tell.

"Found it, I'll send it to you."

"Thank you, remember to eat."

"I know."

After hanging up the phone, Su Hui suddenly found that there was a very different name——[Elephant] among these folders with similar naming methods.

Seeing this name, Su Hui's heart skipped a beat. He clicked on the folder, but found a video inside, and the date was two years ago.

Even though he knew that opening other people's files casually was not the right thing to do, Su Hui still couldn't hold back.

The video started to play, and he heard some strange language. It was a first-person perspective. The picture showed a very hot area, the sun was scorching, and the environment was not clean. There were grass and manure piled up in the disposal boxes on the side of the road, which did not look like It is the place where Ning Yixiao will go.

Suddenly, he heard Ning Yixiao's voice speaking English.

"is it here?"

A dark-skinned man appeared beside him, nodding his head, "That's right, the breeding base is in front."

"Could you please hold the video camera for me? I want to record a video."

"Ok, no problem."

The camera was handed over, and the picture shook for a while before returning to stability.Ning Yixiao finally appeared in the camera, wearing a white sportswear and a black baseball cap.He walked forward, entered a gate, came to a herd of elephants, leaned over, looked down to examine the tags hanging around their necks, and glanced back at the camera lens.

"It's them."

Su Hui was stunned.

In the picture, Ning Yixiao took out a harmonica from his backpack, put it to his lips, and played the seven-note scale to the seven cute elephants in front of him.

[do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si]

After blowing, he smiled and touched the trunks of each baby elephant. He didn't think they were dirty at all, and spoke Chinese in a very small voice.

"You are so cute, just like him."

But Su Hui heard it clearly.

The next moment, Ning Yixiao turned around and said to the person who helped to take the video, "Thank you, it's done."

The screen stopped abruptly.
