Xie Ning spoke incoherently and incoherently, repeating what he meant to leave immediately.

It took Zhuang Yan a moment to figure out what happened.

Mr. Xie is over 80 years old. As people get older, their bodies are prone to various problems, and their immunity also declines. On the surface, there is no serious illness, and he rarely goes to the hospital, but his body has collapsed internally.

It's like a tree that looks healthy and strong, but actually rots from the roots.

At this time, only one fuse is needed, and the big tree will crash down.

For example, a common and common fall.

Elderly people are most afraid of falling.

Zhuang Yan thought of an old lady who lived next door when he was a child. She was very kind and usually looked very energetic. She even planted some vegetables in the yard of the house and went to work a few times in the field.

Occasionally seeing Zhuang Yan, she would give him two plants of vegetables, saying that the things outside were not as clean and delicious as those grown by herself.

When the old lady passed away, Zhuang Yan still couldn't believe it. He had seen the old lady from a distance yesterday, watching the old lady watering slowly.

I heard that it was also very sudden, so I didn't pay attention when I got out of the car, fell down and fell unconscious.

I never woke up again.

Zhuang Yan understood Xie Ning's worry, picked him up, placed him on a chair, and poured him another glass of warm water.

Seeing that Xie Ning's mood seemed to have stabilized, Zhuang Yan used his mobile phone to call Uncle Zhong again and asked about Mr. Xie's current situation in detail.

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Xie Ning holding a water glass, staring at him quietly.

His eyes were clean and empty, as if there was nothing there.

Zhuang Yan whispered, "Grandpa is fine."

Xie Ning's eyelashes trembled.

At this time, Xie Ning completely ignored Zhuang Yan's "Grandpa", instead of "Thank you, old man" or adding the attributive "you" in front of it.

His focus was only on the last two words.

The strange thing is that when these words came out of Zhuang Yan's mouth, he believed them without thinking.

"You must not have heard clearly just now." Zhuang Yan held his hand. Xie Ning's hand was not cold, because it was still warm after holding the water glass, "Uncle Zhong made it clear to me, the old man just He hasn't woken up yet, but he's already out of danger."

Only then did Xie Ning regain some of his ability to think.

"Are you out of danger?" He grasped Zhuang Yan's hand with a little force, but Zhuang Yan's expression didn't change at all.

He slowly comforted Xie Ning and said, "Well, we are out of danger."

Relieved in one breath, Xie Ning fell back and leaned on the back of the chair.

He took a sip of water slowly, his hands trembling slightly, the water came out a little and wet his neckline.

"I want to go back." Xie Ning said again.

"En." Zhuang Yan responded, patting him on the back to calm his emotions, "but it's too late today."

Xie Ning rolled his eyes and looked at him.

Zhuang Yan said: "It's too late now, counting the time to go to the airport, the earliest flight will have to wait until tomorrow. You should take a good rest today and get some sleep. I'll help you book tomorrow's ticket and take you there."

"Will it be too late?" Xie Ning asked.

Zhuang Yan quickly understood what he meant, shook his head and said, "No."

His voice was low and low, yet with a force that reassured Xie Ning: "The old man is just too tired and needs to rest for a while."

It took Xie Ning a long time before he nodded.

"You too." Zhuang Yan said, "You also need to take a good rest today."

Xie Ning said, "I'm fine..."

Zhuang Yan looked down at him: "Now, can you still stand up?"

Xie Ning: "..."

Even though Zhuang Yan forced him to get a good night's sleep, Xie Ning still suffered from insomnia.

He was resting on Zhuang Yan's shoulder, and the distance between the two was too close, as if he could kiss Zhuang Yan's chin as soon as he raised his head.

It was already late at night, and it seemed to be raining outside, Xie Ning could vaguely hear the sound of water droplets hitting the window.

Zhuang Yan closed his eyes, Xie Ning didn't know if he was asleep or not, and was held in his arms obediently, not daring to move.

When Xie Ning first received the call from Uncle Zhong, Xie Ning's mind was blank. There seemed to be many voices around him, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.

At this moment, the surroundings are quiet, but he thinks a lot.

He suddenly couldn't control his emotions, and his eyes filled with tears little by little.

Tears fell slowly, he didn't know why he was crying.

He thought, if Zhuang Yan wasn't here, he would be in a very embarrassing situation at this time.

He will be in a mess, fall to the ground and can't get up no matter what, and finally stand up, he will rush out regardless.

It may have been blown by the cold wind for a long time before he remembered to book a return ticket, then took a taxi to the airport, where he huddled up and waited all night.

Maybe he will be soaked by the rain, and he will fall down before he sees his grandfather.

It was only then that he discovered that he had actually been living a bad life for so many years. He couldn't take care of himself, or thought he was doing well, but any storm could knock him down.

No wonder Yan Xi is always worried about him, occasionally hesitating to speak to him, but in the end he doesn't say anything.

There seemed to be a sigh above his head, and then a pair of generous palms wiped away the tears on his face.

"Don't cry." Zhuang Yan's voice was soft, with a bit of imperceptible annoyance, as if he was annoyed that he found out too late.

He said: "No matter what time, I will be by your side."

Xie Ning didn't speak, but suddenly hugged him tightly, and after a long time, he responded with a dry and hoarse voice.

But even with Zhuang Yan by his side, Xie Ning still didn't sleep well that night. He woke up from his sleep and soon fell into darkness again.

This repeated half-dream and half-awake, did not really sleep soundly until the second half of the night.

He seemed to be dreaming of Mr. Xie, or when he was awake, he remembered some past events.

At that time, he had just passed his birthday, and the coming-of-age ceremony had a different meaning to most people. After that day passed, it meant that you were an adult who was completely independent and out of the care of your guardian.

Xie Ning was taken to the compound that day, and he was greeted by Uncle Zhong and the smiling Mr. Xie.

He looked up at his grandfather, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The old man Xie at that time didn't seem to be much different from now, as if he hadn't aged.

Or maybe an old person is always the same. After all, no one has the leisure to count whether there is another wrinkle on his face.

Mr. Xie held him in his arms, like facing a lost and found treasure: "Happy birthday to my Ning Ning."

Xie Ning couldn't remember his mood at that time, but he remembered that day he said calmly: "Thank you."

Mr. Xie was not dissatisfied with his indifference, and gave the coming-of-age gift with a smile.

What shocked Xie Ning was that besides the villa, Mr. Xie also gave him a document. He looked down at the words on the cover, and a surprised expression flashed across his face.

It was a share transfer agreement.

Mr. Xie said: "I hope you will be happy and free forever, without being bound by the past, suffering pain and disaster, and worrying about money. You are an adult, you are free and unrestrained, and you can control the future by yourself. Make your own destiny, choose what kind of life you want to live."

He said: "From now on, no one can make decisions for you, no one else. You are already an independent person, but at the same time, I also hope that your future is smooth and bright, and I hope you can be less Take a little setback and experience more joyful things.”

Xie Ning listened to him carefully and patiently. For some reason, his nose felt sore, and his chest was filled with something sore and swollen.

He thought that his emotions had become so calm that he could no longer perceive any emotions, but at that moment, his heart was still touched.

Later, he gradually understood that the soreness was probably the warmth of family affection.

It was very faint, but fortunately, he still felt it.

……

When he woke up the next day, Xie Ning's mood stabilized a lot.

He probably wasn't the only one who didn't sleep well last night, Zhuang Yan's complexion was also not very good, Xie Ning could see the faint purple in his eyes.

After breakfast, Zhuang Yan insisted on taking him to the airport.

Last night, Zhuang Yan packed the luggage temporarily, and he didn't bring much. In fact, Xie Ning didn't have anything to bring, except his mobile phone.

Zhuang Yan really wanted to go back with him, but he couldn't.

At least not today.

There are still so many people in the crew, so many things, it will not take him a day or two to go back, so he has to arrange it a few days in advance.

Fortunately, after one night, Xie Nin seemed to have returned to normal thinking. His worry was a little less, but it still didn't disappear.

"Call me as soon as you get off the plane," he urged.

Xie Ning came back to his senses and hesitated: "Will it disturb you?"

Zhuang Yan thought for a while, and then said, "You can also send text messages, but remember to message me."

Xie Ning: "Yes."

Zhuang Yan: "I have contacted Uncle Zhong, and he will arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport. Remember to read the license plate number, and don't get on the wrong car."

Xie Ning: "I'm not so confused."

Zhuang Yan didn't answer, and continued: "Remember to text me when you arrive at the hospital, and eat three meals a day on time, don't forget."

Xie Ning slowly complied.

When it was time to get on the plane, Zhuang Yan let go of his hand.

Only then did Xie Ning's mood change - as if he had been floating in the air in vain, and suddenly fell down.

The next second, Zhuang Yan leaned over and hugged him deeply.

"Don't worry." Zhuang Yan's voice was as steady and reliable as ever, "Grandpa will be fine."

Xie Ning's heart fell to the ground.

Then I heard Zhuang Yan say: "So you have to be good too."

At the final farewell, Zhuang Yan couldn't restrain himself and pulled him back.

Xie Ning turned around suspiciously and looked at him: "Is there anything else?"

Zhuang Yan hesitated for a moment, grabbed his hand, pulled him into his arms, and wrapped him in his generous chest.

There were a lot of people around, but he lowered his head recklessly, and put a reluctant kiss on Xie Ning's lips.

After a long time, he said hoarsely, "Wait for me."
