Chapter 290: Too much time has passed
Life in the hospital was extremely boring for Sheng Xinxin, with no friends and relatives by her side, only a set of exercise books to accompany her.
In the afternoon, the nurse saw that Sheng was too bored, so she came over to talk to her, "The weather is very good today, do you want me to push you out for a walk?"
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sheng Xingxin saw the bright sunshine outside, and his heart couldn't help but rise with yearning.
"Okay, let's go for a walk. ”
After Sheng Xin agreed, the nurse applied for a wheelchair, helped her into the wheelchair, and took her downstairs to the back garden.
The hospital is a place that is crowded all year round, where new lives come and there are dying lives.
Sheng Xinxin didn't come to the hospital many times, but the most impressive was when her mother was hospitalized when she was eight years old, and she met Su Xiaoyao in the evening afternoon.
It was the most unforgettable experience of her childhood, at that time, she ran to the hospital stupidly all day long, and she liked to stay with Su Xiaoyao the most.
But at that time, she didn't know the man she was now, but the carefree brother who smiled at her very gently.
But now that memory is dusty, and she only lives in her memory, it doesn't seem so worth remembering.
The back garden of the hospital is filled with all kinds of people, from elderly people who can't walk and have to rely on wheelchairs, to children in blue and white hospital gowns.
She seems to have been abandoned by the world, sitting in a wheelchair and watching the world come alive in its own way, she is just a passer-by here.
The nurse sister was by her side gently, always deliberately mentioning something, but Sheng couldn't be interested.
After a long time, the nurse also understood her thoughts, so she quietly accompanied her to see the hustle and bustle of the world.
Suddenly, a round leather ball rolled down to Sheng Xinxin's feet, and just as the nurse wanted to step forward, a girl with a double ponytail ran from a distance.
She was only about five or six years old, and her bright eyes were particularly eye-catching, and her red face was full of smiles.
"Sister, I'm sorry, my ball didn't come to you on purpose. ”
The little girl glanced at Sheng Xinxin timidly, and the bright smile on her face never dissipated.
In the face of children, Sheng Xinxin's heart will always be extraordinarily soft, she gently picked up the ball and handed it to the little girl's hand, winking at her, "Your ball is so beautiful." ”
Hearing that her little leather ball was praised, the smile on the little girl's face became a little brighter, "This is what my brother painted for me, my brother is the best painter, and he will be the best painter in the future." ”
The girl is obviously a little chatter, holding her little leather ball with both hands, and at the same time not forgetting Amway and her brother.
The appearance of the little girl was like a little angel suddenly coming to her, and the smile on Sheng Xinxin's face also brightened, and he looked at her with a sweet smile and said, "A person who looks so good at painting on a small leather ball will definitely become an excellent painter in the future." ”
A compliment made the little girl happy for a long time, and she took out a group photo from her arms and handed it to Sheng Xinxin.
"The above is my brother, my sister should remember to see my brother's art exhibition in the future, this photo will be given to you, don't recognize the wrong person. ”
Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at the two people in the photo, one was the little girl who loved to laugh in front of him, and the other was a boy sitting on the hospital bed and wearing a hospital gown.
The boy's deep eyes are like an ocean, and it can be seen from the photo that there is a faint layer of melancholy between his eyebrows.
"If I'm lucky enough to see your brother's exhibition, I won't be mistaken. ”
Sheng Xinxin said in a firm tone, like a promise with the girl.
The little girl's mommy in the distance was already calling her back, and she reluctantly waved goodbye to Sheng Xinxin, "Sister, I'll go first, you must get better quickly." ”
After saying that, the girl jumped away with the balloon, and Sheng Xin looked at her back for a long time and did not come back to her senses.
The nurse next to her reminded, "Miss Sheng's temperature has begun to cool, let's go back first." ”
Sheng Xinxin came back to his senses and nodded politely at the nurse, "Okay, let's go back." Thank you for your hard work. ”
Back in the ward, Sheng Xinxin was like a canary in a cage, looking at the freedom that was close at hand, but he was powerless to break free.
Lu Xinran and Huang Yanran came over on time, holding a large bouquet of different colors in their hands, and smiled and found a bottle to insert.
"Look, how beautiful this flower is. ”
Lu Xinran said proudly, as if he had done what a great move.
Sheng Xinxin always felt a little familiar when he looked at the flower, and suddenly remembered something, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "If I guessed correctly, this is a flower that was just planted in the school flower bed." ”
Lu Xinran opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at Sheng Xinxin incredulously and sighed, "Your observation is too sharp." It's been a long time since school started, and it's the first time I've noticed these tweeds in the flower beds. ”
After speaking, Lu Xinran scratched her head embarrassedly, "Okay, I admit that I picked this flower in the school flower bed, but I also picked it myself, and my heart is priceless." ”
As soon as Lu Xinran's words fell, Huang Yanran on the side did not hesitate to poke at her, "I testify that the flowers were picked by Xinran personally, and they were chased twice by the security guards around the teaching building." ”
Sheng Xinxin couldn't close his mouth with a smile, this kind of thing can only be done by a girl like Lu Xinran.
"It's really hard for you, but I don't want to go back to school to attend the flag-raising ceremony and see you on stage to read your experience of stealing flowers. ”
Lu Xinran listened to his friend's ridicule of him, and covered his face shyly, "Okay, okay, don't talk about others, it's a big deal, I'll return it in a few days." ”
Lu Xinran said it reasonably, in her words, this is not called stealing, just borrowing, so that the flower can play its greatest value.
In this matter of reasoning, Sheng Xinxin really has never met someone who can win Xinran, and under her theory, she and Huang Yanran both raised their hands and surrendered.
It's been said and said, and it's been troublesome. Lu Xinran suddenly coughed dryly, and the expression on his face became serious.
"There's something I think I need to tell you. ”
Sheng Xinxin looked at Lu Xinran with a puzzled expression, and always felt that there was no good thing to say from this girl's mouth.
Sure enough, Lu Xinran mysteriously approached Sheng Xinxin, and his mouth was almost on her ear and he whispered, "Today, Su Xiaoyao came to me and asked how you are doing." ”
As his friend's words landed, Sheng Xin sighed in his heart, and the smile on his face was facing disintegration and collapse at this moment.
"And then?"
I swallowed my throat with difficulty, but I still had a faint smile on my face.
Lu Xinran didn't seem to expect Sheng Xinxin's reaction to be so calm, and exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide and grabbed Huang Yanran's arm and said, "Look at her, her reaction is too abnormal." When I told Yanran, her jaw was about to fall to the ground. ”
Sheng Xin smiled disappreciatively, and there was indeed not much fluctuation in his heart.
"What do you think I should have to do to be normal?
Sheng Xinxin shrugged his shoulders and began to fiddle with the handful of flowers that Lu Xinran had destroyed.
Lu Xinran patted Huang Yanran's arm excitedly, looked at Sheng Xinxin aggrievedly and said, "You're not curious at all?"
Sheng Xinxin's hand was stunned for a moment, but then it returned to normal, continued to fiddle with the bouquet, and said disapprerovitously, "What's so curious about this, it's just to ask you how my situation is now." ”
At the mention of Su Xiaoyao, Sheng Xinxin remembered the hallucinations that appeared last night, but she could clearly feel the other party's footsteps and his voice, but when she woke up, there was nothing.
Sheng didn't believe and didn't want to admit that what happened last night was just a dream for her.
Lu Xinran still couldn't accept Sheng Xinxin's calmness, looked at her and exclaimed, "I find that I don't understand you more and more now, and I don't even seem to understand your current thoughts." ”
With Lu Xinran's sigh, Sheng Xinxin looked at her nervously, wanting to prove that he was not like that.
"I'm still the same person, but now I really don't want to have too much entanglement with him, and I hope you can understand my feelings. ”
After all, the two have been friends for so many years, Lu Xinran naturally understood her thoughts, and sat next to her helplessly and said, "Su Xiaoyao is outside the ward now, if you want to see him, you can let him in at any time, if you don't want to see him, I'll go out and tell him and let him leave here immediately." ”
Lu Xinran's words made Sheng tremble, and he blinked his eyes and said in confusion, "So he went to look for you today, did he ask you to bring him over?"
Sheng Xinxin was frightened by her own cognition, she began to understand Su Xiaoyao's approach, and she also had doubts about what happened last night.
Lu Xinran nodded and admitted, "Yes, he's afraid that you don't want to see him." That's why I brought him here. ”
Lu Xinran blinked, and his eyes were glazed with a little puzzled for a while, "What's wrong?"
Sheng swallowed hard, she took a deep breath, and began to desperately try to figure out what had happened last night.
"Go tell him and let him in. ”
Sheng's attitude suddenly came to a huge contrast, which made Lu Xinran look at Huang Yanran next to him at a loss for a while, and reacted for a few seconds before he stood up and went outside to call someone.
"You guys talk first, Yanran and I will go buy something, and we'll come back later. ”
Lu Xinran stood at the door, holding Huang Yanran's arm in his hand, watching the two people in the room blink and leave first.
As the two closed the door, there were only two people left in the enclosed space, Sheng Xin sat on the bed, staring at Su Xiaoyao motionlessly, and the two looked at each other for a while.
It seems to be a tacit understanding, the two of them observe each other, but neither of them speaks first.
Sheng Xinxin could endure her temperament, and since Su Xiaoyao didn't mean to speak, she took her eyes off the man and began to look down at the hand-drawn book.
The atmosphere in the ward was solemn and awkward, but the most embarrassing thing was Su Xiaoyao, he stood helplessly, and the woman on the bed had completely ignored her existence,
After a full half of the ring, Su Xiaoyao took a step forward and said in a low voice, "How are you doing these days?"
Sheng Xinxin heard the man's words, the movements in his hands paused, and he looked up at him, with a polite and detached smile slightly raised on the corner of his mouth. Search the e-book
"Thank you for your concern, I'm much better. ”
Simple Tao couldn't be more simple conversations, Sheng Xinxin didn't say a single superfluous word, and treated Su Xiaoyao like a complete stranger.
Even if Sheng Xin had doubts in her heart at the moment, she would not show her fragile side.
"What are you doing here today?"
Sheng Xinxin raised his eyebrows, and said coldly in his tone.
Su Xiaoyao's eyes were deep and complicated when he looked at her, and others couldn't understand what he was thinking at the moment.
Obviously, the distance between the two is only one step away, but Ke Sheng has always felt that there is a bottomless gully between them now.
In front of Sheng Xinxin, Su Xiaoyao seemed to be a completely changed person, staring at her eyes with complicated eyes, her lips squirming slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Sheng Xinxin is not in a hurry, Su Xiaoyao will not ask more if she doesn't say anything, anyway, he is the one who took the initiative to come over today, and he is the one who has something to say.
Sheng Xinxin's calmness was beyond Su Xiaoyao's imagination, and he frowned, feeling that things were developing in a direction that he couldn't control.
Sheng Xinxin's eyes fell on the group of buildings outside the window, and a bird passed by, and her face was happy, revealing a bright and bright smile.
For a while, Su Xiaoyao looked at the expression on her face, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Sheng Xinxin smile.
"The Mind Is ......"
Su Xiaoyao took a deep breath and was about to speak, when Sheng Xinxin's voice simply interrupted what he was about to say.
"Look at the birds under the eaves outside, don't they look like the magpies you lied to me when you were a child?"
As she spoke, Sheng Xinxin showed an indifferent smile on her face, her eyes looked out of the window deeply, and her thoughts fell into the past.
Sheng Xinxin's words made Su Xiaoyao's heart chuckle, and the tense string in his heart suddenly broke, and a tidal wave of memories began to pour into his mind from the broken corner.
At that time, I didn't know where I heard that as long as there were magpies, good things would happen.
"I was so stupid at that time, how could there be magpies in the hospital, but at that time you said there was, I believed it. ”
Su Xiaoyao looked at Sheng Xinxin's appearance, and took a step forward as if he wanted to grasp something, but just one step away, he couldn't take a step.
"I didn't want to lie to you at first, at that time you were worried about me all day long not eating and sleeping well, seeing that your chubby face was like a deflated ball, I had no choice but to point to the deer as a horse and tell you that the bird outside was a magpie. ”
At that time, although the words were lies, they were mixed with Brother Xiaoyao's sincerity and care, and she was willing to believe it.
But now, a lie is a lie, and only the most frank superficial relationship is left between the two.
"It's been so long, I've forgotten what I was thinking, but I suddenly saw the birds, and I remembered the past,"
Sheng Xinxin smiled and looked at the man in front of him with a faint expression.
"The past isn't worth mentioning, right?"
Sheng Xinxin's eyes flashed with starry brilliance when she looked at the man, and the smile outlined by the slight upward movement of the corners of her mouth took away Su Xiaoyao's attention.
Sheng Xin had something to say, and Su Xiaoyao naturally heard it.
He stepped forward and approached Sheng Xinxin closely, and his tone was filled with maturity and stability that did not match his age.
"The past is worth remembering, but you can't always live in the past, right? ”
Sheng Xinxin's hands hidden under the futon suddenly lost their strength, and his straight back seemed to lose support in an instant.
She gritted her teeth and looked up at the man, trying to see something in his eyes, but in vain.
The depths of Su Xiaoyao's eyes contained feelings that others could not fathom, its body was like a cage, and the truly energetic soul was hidden in this body by him.
"So you're going to miss me?"
Sheng Xinxin's face suddenly filled with a big smile, looking at the man with the most sincere expression.
Su Xiaoyao didn't seem to expect that the contrast between Sheng Xin's heart would be so big, and he stopped breathing for a while, and looked at her in panic between his eyebrows and eyes.
After half a ring, Su Xiaoyao spoke, and said in a cautious tone, "Nostalgia is used to describe someone who is no longer there, and you are still there." ”
Listening to the man's words, Sheng Xin blinked thoughtfully, recalling the meaning of his words.
"Really?"
The corners of Sheng Xinxin's mouth rose slightly, outlining a sneer, looking at the man's eyes full of mockery at him.
Su Xiaoyao looked at her with heavy eyes, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, they only turned into sighs.
That's my answer, believe it or not. It's not too early, you have a good rest, I'll go back first. ”
Su Xiaoyao's tone of voice was no different from usual, and the boundary between the two seemed to be dissolved in his cold voice.
Sheng Xinxin looked at the back of the man who turned around, and finally couldn't contain the emotions in his heart, and said to his back, "So what are you doing here today? Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Sheng Xinxin's words made the man stop, and he froze in place, his back straightened like a sculpture.
After a few minutes, Su Xiaoyao slowly turned his body, looked at Sheng Xinxin, who was sitting on the hospital bed, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean anything else to come today, I just wanted to come over to see how you were doing." ”
Sheng Xinxin's hand was clenched hard, she gritted her teeth and looked at the man in front of her angrily, and said in a sad tone, "So it's just a dream? You didn't feel sorry for me, and you didn't think about protecting me anymore." ”
Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly, tears pouring out of his eyes uncontrollably.
Last night's dream, whether it was true or not, turned into her imagination with Su Xiaoyao's answer.
"Alright, let's go. ”
Sheng raised his head stubbornly, wiped the tears off his face, and showed an invulnerable appearance.
Su Xiaoyao opened his mouth, some words were blocked in his throat and it was difficult to swallow, but he couldn't say it.
"I used to treat you as my sister, but now the relationship between the Su Sheng family is not harmonious, so as juniors, we should keep our distance when necessary. But you've always been a sister in my heart. ”
Saying that, Su Xiaoyao showed a seemingly warm smile on his face, and bowed slightly at Sheng Xinxin, "You take care of your injuries and take care of yourself." I went back. ”
After speaking, Su Xiaoyao no longer had any hesitation, turned around and strode away from the ward without looking back.
Behind him, Sheng Xinxin sat on the hospital bed and burst into tears, weakly holding his legs, tears wetting the bedding and blurring layers of gray traces.
When Lu Xinran and the two came back, they saw Sheng Xin's soul sitting on the bed unwillingly, with tears on his face that had long since dried.
"What's wrong with you, mind?
Lu Xinran was stunned, and then walked over to hug Sheng Xinxin's body with a panicked face.
"Soul, don't scare me, what's wrong. ”
Lu Xinran's voice was full of heavy crying, she had never seen Sheng Xinxin like this.
Lu Xinran's voice seemed to awaken the latent memory of Sheng Xin's heart, she blinked her eyes and her consciousness turned back, then looked up at her, and forced a smile, "Xinran, I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
Sheng Xinxin muttered to himself, as if he was comforting Lu Xinran, but it was more like comforting himself.
Lu Xinran and Huang Yanran glanced at each other, and shook their heads inexplicably, before they figured out the situation, the only thing they could do was to stay by Sheng Xinxin's side.
With the appearance of the two, Sheng Xinxin's mood seemed to improve, but the dim light in her eyes made Lu Xinran panic.
I could talk and laugh with them just now, but as soon as Su Xiaoyao came, Sheng Xinxin would only sit on the bed sluggishly, often unable to keep up with the rhythm of their speech.
"Mind, are you listening to us?"
Lu Xinran touched Sheng Xin's body, only to see her blinking, looking like she suddenly realized.
Seeing Sheng Xinxin's appearance, Lu Xinran sighed helplessly, and could only hug her distressedly.
Finally calmed Sheng Xin and let her fall asleep, the two hurriedly left the ward, and Lu Xinran couldn't wait to dial Su Xiaoyao's phone.
"Isn't it a little inappropriate to call Su Xiaoyao now? ”
Huang Yanran said in a worried tone.
"What's suitable or inappropriate, my family's mind made him like this, I must find out what the situation is. ”
Lu Xinran said domineeringly, at this moment, Su Xiaoyao had already entered the blacklist in her heart.
The phone rang and thought about it for a long time, and then Su Xiaoyao answered the phone, and his tone was not sad or happy, and he couldn't hear too much emotion.
"Hello, I'm Su Xiaoyao. ”
As soon as Lu Xinran heard Su Xiaoyao's voice, the whole person was like a powder keg that had been ignited, and he opened up directly and unceremoniously.
"I don't do good deeds on weekdays, but today I finally did a good deed to bring you to the hospital to see Sheng Xinxin, but you actually made her cry while we were away? Can you do a good job and do something that people do! I warn you, if there are any three longs and two shortcomings in the soul, I, Lu Xinran, will rely on you in this life, and I will definitely not let you go!"
After saying a passage, Lu Xinran didn't even need to change her anger, and Huang Yanran on the side was directly stunned, learning her true strength for the first time.
