Chapter 15: Make a wish on a shooting star
The funds are relatively relaxed, and Lu Chen began to select a nursing home for Zheng Zizhen again.
**The area is not large, there are few to choose from, there are only three full of houses, one environment is too poor, one environment is good and too far away, and finally Shen Xuening chose a medium-level one, the most important thing is that the distance is close, so that Shen Xuening can visit at any time.
On the day the old lady was sent, the sky was inexplicably pouring spring rain, as if to commemorate this tragic moment of separation.
"Xue'er, Xiaochen, where are we going?"
Sitting here and swaying along the way, the old lady nervously grabbed Shen Xuening's hand, and beads of sweat were in her palms.
Shen Xuening's mood today was very low, and the tears in her peach blossom eyes had not broken since early in the morning, but in order not to let the old lady notice, she tried her best to hold back.
At this time, when she heard her grandmother's words, she opened her mouth, but before she could speak, tears seemed to be about to burst out of her eyes again, and she could only turn her head to look out the window to adjust her emotions.
"Old lady, we went on a trip today, didn't we tell you at home in the morning?"
Seeing this, Lu Chen hurriedly helped out.
"Oh, traveling?"
The old lady seemed to understand whether she understood, looked out the window and muttered: "But it's raining outside, how can you travel?"
"We went to stay in the hotel to soak in the hot springs, not afraid of the rain. ”
Lu Chen lied casually.
The taxi driver listened to the conversation of the family, his eyes were a little confused, but he didn't say anything and drove by himself.
Jiangbei Jinshi Sanatorium is located in the western suburbs of Jiangbei, not far from the city, about half an hour's drive.
When she arrived at the sanatorium, Zheng Zizhen was obviously a little resistant, and she kept holding Shen Xuening's arm tightly and was unwilling to let go.
Because Lu Chen arranged in advance, the staff of the nursing home were very cooperative, and even doctors and nurses came.
Everyone coaxed and deceived the old lady to finally settle down.
In the corridor, Lu Chen had just finished explaining Zheng Zizhen's relevant situation, precautions and medicinal use, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Xuening covering her mouth, staring at her grandmother in the room crying silently.
The old lady was holding a bag in her arms, which contained her lifelong "baby", and kept looking around in the face of the unfamiliar environment, with a panicked look on her face.
When her eyes swept to the window, Lu Chen and Shen Xuening hurriedly hid aside to avoid being seen by the other party, because in order to reassure their grandmother, the two lied that they were going out to buy something, and let the old lady wait alone in the room.
Such a scene is like parents sending their children to school on the first day of kindergarten, knowing that the child will be afraid, but in order to make the child independent, he must be ruthless, hiding in the dark and peeking, but he is afraid that the child will see it.
"Lu Chen, I'm so worried about grandma, will she be afraid?"
In the corner, Shen Xuening asked weakly while shedding tears.
"Don't be afraid, you have to think that this is the best place for the old lady. ”
Lu Chen took Shen Xuening's hand and comforted softly: "The old lady's illness is getting more and more serious, from one hair a day to three times a day now, I can't recognize people in the early morning, I lost it once, and I almost caught fire at home twice, and if it drags on again, it will not be good for you or her." ”
"But... But I can't bear her. ”
Shen Xuening cried.
"I can't help it, my heart is empty, but there is no way to do it. ”
Lu Chen continued to comfort: "There are more professional staff to follow up here, and there are doctors to take care of you at any time, which is more secure for grandma, so you have to feel that this is better care for grandma, so you won't feel sad in your heart."
Shen Xuening opened her red and swollen eyes, struggled for a long time, and finally nodded stunned.
The two have been secretly guarding the sanatorium, and when they heard the old lady ask the staff about the whereabouts of Lu Chen and Shen Xuening several times, Shen Xuening cried so sadly.
Until nightfall, the staff took the old lady to eat with a group of old people, watched TV and chatted, and finally went into the house to rest, and the torment of the day was completely over.
……
"I wonder if grandma is asleep at this time?
In the evening, Lu Chen accompanied Shen Xuening back home, the two sat on the roof of the old house, looking at the endless dim sky, Shen Xuening thought of her grandmother again, and couldn't help but worry.
Lu Chen knew that the little girl was sad and didn't dare to leave all the time.
The weather after the rain was cooler, the cold wind mixed with water vapor, wet and fresh, the moon and the stars were blocked by dark clouds tonight, it was unusually dark, only when the large dark clouds drifted by, the moon would shyly poke its head out and sneak a glance at the earth, and then it was blocked by the dark clouds again.
"Don't be sad, grandma will be fine. ”
Lu Chen looked at Shen Xuening gently and said, "We have to be full of confidence and hope for the future, grandma hopes that you can be admitted to a good university, so you have to work harder to meet her wishes." ”
"Wish?"
Shen Xue looked at Lu Chen blankly and repeated.
"Yes, wish, this is her wish, and I believe it is also your father's wish. ”
Lu Chen said firmly.
"Can a wish really come true?"
Shen Xuening lowered her head, her eyes drooped, and her face was listless: "When I was a child, I often made wishes, but my father left, and I followed my mother, and now... Grandma is gone, and I'm left alone in the world..."
After speaking, she hugged her knees, buried her head in her knees, and the crystal tears slowly fell one by one, hitting the porcelain tiles on the roof, and slowly expanding along the porcelain tiles, turning into a large circle that gradually expanded.
"Who said you were alone? You still have mine, and I will always be with you. ”
Lu Chen took Shen Xuening's little hand without scruples and said firmly.
This time, Shen Xuening didn't withdraw her hand, just looked at Lu Chen directly.
It seemed that after a long struggle in her heart, Shen Xue looked at Lu Chen weakly and asked, "Really, you really won't leave me like my family?"
"Well, I swear. ”
Lu Chen raised his hand to the sky, but before he could say anything, Shen Xuening grabbed his hand and shook his head: "I believe in you." ”
Lu Chen looked at the sky, suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, let's make a wish for the meteor, this time it will definitely work." ”
"Shooting stars?"
Shen Xue looked at the dark sky and asked suspiciously, "There are no stars tonight, how can there be a meteor?"
"It'll be there in a while, you wait for me, remember that you can't come down. ”
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he ran away.
Shen Xuening was very obedient, or maybe she had nothing to do, so she really stayed on the roof and sat for more than half an hour.
The night was so quiet, the sky was so dark, the cool breeze blew on the skin, Shen Xuening subconsciously shrunk her neck, but she firmly believed that Lu Chen would come back and take her to see the meteors.
The clock beats second by second.
Suddenly, with a "boom", it finally burst in the air.
"Cher, look, meteor ......"
I don't know when Lu Chen appeared again, standing in the open space at the gate and shouting at Shen Xuening, and then there were fireworks in the sky that exploded continuously, one, two......
It's like a sky full of stars slowly falling......
"Wow, that's beautiful......"
Shen Xuening couldn't help but sigh.
"Xue'er, make a wish!"
Lu Chen stood far away and shouted loudly to Shen Xuening on the roof, waving his hand as he shouted.
Shen Xue Ning paused for a moment, then closed her eyes with a smile, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and silently made her wish.
……
"How's it going? Did you just make a wish?"
Ten minutes later, Lu Chen returned to Shen Xuening's side again, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and asked softly.
Shen Xuening had a smile on her face and nodded happily.
"Oh, what did you wish for? Can you tell me?"
Lu Chen asked with a smile.
Shen Xuening shook her head: "You can't say it, if you say it, it won't work." ”
"Oh, then I guess. ”
Lu Chen looked thoughtful: "It should be related to me?"
Shen Xuening suddenly opened her mouth wide, looking surprised, but she still shook her head: "Only part of it, and some of it isn't." ”
"Haha, it's okay, I'm not greedy, only a part is enough. ”
Lu Chen suddenly lowered his head and stared into her eyes: "Can you tell me, what is the part that belongs to me?"
Shen Xuening was suddenly looked at by the other party, her face turned red, she pulled her fingers, and said, "I... I hope you are always happy. ”
"Also... And don't leave me. ”
After saying that, she immediately lowered her head and turned to look into the distance.
"As long as you're around, I'll always be happy!"
Lu Chen gently took her hand, and Shen Xue Ning also turned her head suspiciously, looking at each other: "Xue Ning, I like you!"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Shen Xuening's heart pounded, she didn't respond, she just looked at the other party blankly, her face was red to the root of her ears, she looked at it for a long time, and finally hummed and lowered her head again.
Lu Chen gently raised her chin and stared at each other intently, there was nothing else in their eyes at this moment, only each other's weak figures, Shen Xuening was a little dodgy, but Lu Chen held her face domineeringly, and gently covered her lips when she was still flustered......
The moon seemed to commemorate this beautiful occasion, desperately breaking free from the dark clouds, trying to figure out its head, mirroring the young man and woman, casting its long figures on the white wall!
