Chapter 7: Quiet Companionship
The long night was long, Lu Chen lay on the bed, staring at the starry sky in the distance through the window, listening to the alarm clock ticking and ticking second by second, and his heart was anxious.
"What is she doing at the moment?"
"There is only one little girl in the huge hospital, will she be very scared?"
"The only relatives have fallen, will she lose hope without a master?"
……
Lu Chen's heart was tormented, one question after another came to his mind, and one possibility after another kept impacting his heart.
The biggest advantage of being reborn is that you can predict the future and make up for regrets, but the biggest disadvantage is that everything starts over, and things that can easily help each other have become extremely tricky.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong"
Suddenly, the old-fashioned wall clock in the living room struck two o'clock.
Lu Chen rolled over and got up from the bed, he gently opened the door, and glanced at the living room and his mother's door through the gap.
The house was dark and quiet, and the street lamps outside the window projected through the glass windows, which were particularly clear in the dark, enough for Lu Chen to identify the direction.
Lu Chen changed his clothes, tiptoed towards the door, and when he passed by his mother's room, he deliberately leaned on the door and listened for a while, until he confirmed that there was no sound inside, and then Lu Chen secretly walked out of the house.
However, he was worried that his mother would be frightened if he woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't see anyone, so he left a note on the bed, planning to come back before his mother got up tomorrow morning, and if he was lucky, he could basically hide it.
When Lu Chen rushed to the hospital again, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
Through the window of the ward, Lu Chen could clearly see everything in the ward, Shen Xuening was estimated to be too sleepy, and was lying on the edge of the bed and falling asleep, while grandma Zheng Zizhen was sleeping quietly on the bed.
Lu Chen was very familiar with this situation, and he had stood outside the window countless times before he was reborn and watched the scene in the ward, and he was particularly touched in his heart, fortunately, Shen Xuening was only asleep at the moment, not unconscious.
He couldn't bear to wake the other party, so he just gently draped his coat over her, and then sat down on the bench, tightened the only clothes on his body, and looked at the other party with a tender face.
I don't know how long I watched it, sleepiness hit, and before I knew it, Lu Chen fell asleep in a daze.
In a trance, Lu Chen felt a warm heat coming from his chest, with a good fragrance, straight to his nose, and there was a slight stirring on his face, itchy, very comfortable.
Suddenly opened her eyes, only to see Shen Xuening running over without knowing when, covering her clothes on herself, the clothes were too short, covering her upper body and missing her arms, covering her arms and missing her neck, and Han Baobao was trying to adjust the angle.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen woke up suddenly, his eyes were facing each other, close at hand, and the heat between each other's nostrils collided with each other, Shen Xuening exclaimed, realized the gaffe, and immediately covered his mouth and jumped away.
"You... Why did you wake up?"
Shen Xue asked weakly, lowered her head and looked at the upper of her shoes, not daring to look at Lu Chen.
"It smelled good, so woke up. ”
Lu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile.
This sentence made Shen Xuening's face even redder, straight to the root of her ears.
Lu Chen stopped teasing her, glanced at Zheng Zizhen, who was peaceful on the bed, and asked softly, "How is your grandmother?"
Shen Xuening lowered her head, shook her head with her fingers, and her eyes became rosy again.
Lu Chen sighed, his heart was twisted, but he couldn't do anything at the moment, so he could only wait for the old lady to be discharged from the hospital before making plans.
"What time is it?"
Lu Chen suddenly realized the time and asked anxiously.
"Six... It's almost half-past six......"
Shen Xuening raised her head and pointed to the wall clock in the corridor and replied blankly.
"Damn, mom is waking up. ”
This was the first reaction that flashed through Lu Chen's heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, and said to Shen Xuening: "You must be hungry, I'll go buy breakfast and wait for me to come back." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Xuening's reaction, Lu Chen stepped out of the ward, and when he saw Shen Baobao behind him, he didn't follow, and Lu Chen smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran out quickly.
Half an hour later, Lu Chen returned to the door of the house panting, took out the key and gently opened the door, and when he looked around, the living room was still quiet, and his mother probably hadn't woken up yet.
Lu Chen exhaled loudly, and his pounding little heart finally fell.
"Where are you going? so early?"
Unexpectedly, when he was about to change his slippers, the voice of his mother Chen Xiuluan suddenly came from behind him.
"Wow. ”
Lu Chen was so frightened that he exclaimed.
Chen Xiuluan was also taken aback, and after soothing himself, he crossed his waist and scolded: "I'm going to kill you, so loud, I want to scare your mother to death?"
"Mom, don't you scare me behind my back, and say I scare you?"
Lu Chen responded, and sure enough, he was a thief, and with this toss, his forehead and back were actually scared into a cold sweat.
"I'm making breakfast in the kitchen, and if I don't come from behind, will I fly over?"
Chen Xiuluan was unconvinced, and then the fox asked, "Early in the morning, where did you go?"
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at the wall clock, at this time, it was early at 7 o'clock, and he had an idea to lie: "This is not a college entrance examination, every day is a whole day of sitting, and in the early morning, I went out for a run." ”
"Run?"
Chen Xiuluan frowned and looked at Lu Chen, and then said, "It's okay, it's always right to exercise." ”
"Hurry up and wash your hands, then finish breakfast and go to school, or you'll be late. ”
Chen Xiuluan didn't say anything more, left a sentence and ran back to the kitchen.
Lu Chen covered his chest and comforted himself: "The baby is not afraid, the baby is not afraid." ”
……
"Mom, I'm going to school. ”
Fifteen minutes later, before Chen Xiuluan finished working from the kitchen, Lu Chen shouted towards the kitchen, followed by the clanging of the shutting door, and the living room returned to tranquility.
Chen Xiuluan wiped his hands on his apron and poked his head out to take a look, the side dishes prepared on the table were intact, but the two bowls of hot white porridge were dried up, and he couldn't help but break a bite: "I really raised a pig, and I drank white porridge and didn't eat vegetables, which really followed his father, and the key was to eat my bowl too." ”
Chen Xiuluan has always been both a mother and a father at home, after her son left, especially when her son is getting older and older, sometimes she looks at her son, just like looking at him at the beginning, and even her conduct, personality, especially her sitting posture, are surprisingly similar.
Chen Xiuluan slowly walked to the dining table in a daze, falling into unknown memories, the sweet memories brought by those green years, at this moment, can only be buried deep in his heart.
……
"No, here you go, eat preserved eggs and lean porridge for breakfast today, light and nourish the stomach and get rid of the anger. ”
Lu Chen didn't go to school, but ran back to the hospital, put a bowl of hot porridge in front of Shen Xuening, and poured out another bowl and handed it to Zheng Zizhen: "Mom... Milk... Old lady, this bowl is yours, green vegetable porridge, help digestion. ”
Because he didn't know when the old lady was sick, Lu Chen hesitated for a while, but still called out the old lady's title.
"Son, who are you?"
The old lady seemed to return to the light, looked at Lu Chen blankly and asked.
Lu Chen was a little confused, looked at Shen Xue Ning and asked, "What is your grandmother's situation in the morning?"
Shen Xuening hadn't recovered from being moved, she had been holding the porridge and watching Lu Chen busy, as soon as she heard Lu Chen's inquiry, she woke up from deep thought and replied cutely: "Milk... Grandma is nice, she... She recognized me. ”
"Oooh. ”
Lu Chen nodded, turned his head to look at Zheng Zizhen and replied, "Grandma, I am Xue Ning's classmate, and I happened to meet you last night, so I helped send you to the hospital." ”
"Oh, that's right. ”
Zheng Zizhen's wrinkled face stretched out, grinned at the few remaining teeth, and said in a low voice: "Child, thank you, you are a good person." ”
After speaking, the old lady looked at Shen Xuening and sighed: "Hey, my Xue'er is really miserable, God is unfair to her, even my broken body has to follow her......"
"Grandma'......"
When Shen Xuening heard the old lady's words, tears flowed out of her eyes, and she threw herself on Zheng Zizhen's knee and cried.
"Child, grandma is sorry for you... Your dad is sorry for you......"
The old lady burst into tears, and tears dripped down her wrinkled cheeks and fell onto Shen Xuening's soft hair.
"Grandma, don't say that, Xue'er is sorry for you, Xue'er is not capable of taking care of you......"
Shen Xue Ning had tears in her eyes and shook her head desperately.
Seeing the grandparents crying sadly, Lu Chen had mixed feelings, and all the words of comfort became so powerless at this moment.
"I failed you in my previous life, and I will definitely give you back happiness in this life. ”
Lu Chen gritted his teeth and read silently in his heart.
