Obviously waking up from a sleep, Ai Xin felt more tired than before going to bed, looked at his phone, and sure enough, it was only five o'clock in the morning.

It was still pitch black outside the window, after all, it was winter, and even in the less cold south, it was still not until almost seven o'clock before dawn.

Ai Xin is particularly irritable today, because today she has to do one of the jobs she hates the most - handover work.

What's even more hateful is that it's not just one thing to be handed over, but two things to be handed over, and it's not a simple trivial matter.

During the day, I have to repeatedly confirm with Tao Li the situation of the customers who are now signing the contract, confirm the company's financial situation, and continue to hand over the remaining unconfirmed investors.

I don't know what the situation is on Tao Li's side, Ai Xin always feels unsteady. Although Tao Li is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and can be regarded as having seen a lot of big scenes, but in the end, the heart is immature, Ai Xin is always worried that he will collapse when he talks with customers, or the basic situation of the company is not clear, and he can't come up with attractive content for people to invest.

In the evening, it will be handed over to Li Man.

Li Man sent a message last night, she had booked a ticket for the afternoon, and she would arrive at about seven o'clock in the evening, and she didn't care about eating, going to the hotel, and rushed to the hospital as soon as she arrived.

Not only do I have to hand over all kinds of matters to Li Man to take care of Liu Yarong and explain Aunt Jin's work, but I also have to tell Li Man about Aunt Jin's identity, and I can't reveal my stuff.

And Liu Yarong's side, he still has to find a reason to leave temporarily, after all, he promised not to tell Tong Yu, but now he suddenly changed Li Man to take care of him, Liu Yarong didn't know what Ai Xin thought in his heart.

Thinking of these troubles one by one, Ai Xin felt that her head was big, and she closed her eyes with some difficulty, wanting to sleep for a while, but she couldn't sleep.

Touching the stomach, it made a very face-saving "coo~coo" sound, or not, it can't sleep anyway, so it's better to go out and find something to eat.

T City is in the south, and unlike the north, which is depressed at night and early in the morning, you can eat all kinds of food at two o'clock in the middle of the night or five or six o'clock in the morning.

She still remembers that when she was in her hometown, she didn't sleep all night, and when she went out to forage for food at 7 o'clock in the morning, there were actually hot pot restaurants with open doors, so she ate a hot pot meal in the early morning very guiltily.

Now that I think about it, there is a reason why I was fat when I first entered college......

Not far from the hotel, there is a short commercial street, although the shops have not yet opened, but most of the breakfast stalls have been supported. In addition to the common steamed buns, porridge, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, there are also many special foods in T City.

"Eh, what's this?"

Ai Xin walked up to a vendor and looked at the shelf propped up in front of him, like a pancake stove, but it was not an ordinary pancake, but a puddle of white batter, and the green inside was supposed to be chopped vegetables, as if there was something else.

"Oysters are fried!" the vendor replied enthusiastically, looking at Ai Xin's blank expression, and asked again, "Outsiders?"

"Hmm. ”

Ai Xin nodded, she knew that oysters were fried, and she had eaten them, but she had never seen such a semi-finished product, and she thought it was a pancake mixed with vegetables and meat.

"Our special feature here, this is made of sweet potato flour, there are oysters in it, which is what you call oysters, and green onions, carrots, and coriander...... Why don't you try it, it's very fragrant!"

"Okay, then I'll have one. ”

Ai Xin was also a little appetizing by him, she has always loved seafood, she loves oysters very much, and she happens to be hungry, so it seems to be a good choice to try the specialty.

"Ouch, this is what we can eat here, our coastal oysters are very fresh, you can't eat them elsewhere." ”

The peddler put on his gloves, took the whole bill handed by Ai Xin, rummaged through the cardboard box for a while, handed her the change, and couldn't help but praise his own products.

"Good, good!"

Ai Xin replied helplessly, and laughed again, she used to go to the street when she was bored to chat with the stall vendors and the uncles and aunts in the vegetable market.

Moreover, this is the city where Tong Yu grew up, Tong Yu must have eaten these things, maybe she still loves to eat them, and she also wants to try them...... She wanted to feel the life he had lived, the roads he had walked, and the things he had eaten......

"Okay, do you eat chili?"

"Well, eat. ”

"Okay, here you go, sit down and eat!"

The vendor handed the finished oyster fried to Ai Xin, and the aroma followed the morning breeze into Ai Xin's nose, which seemed to be sweet and spicy.

She sat on the edge of the simple small table next to her with a small bowl, pulled out a pair of chopsticks in the bucket, and tasted this hard-won delicacy seriously.

Truth be told, the taste does ...... It's a bit different from what she imagined.

She has a strong taste, but the diet in T City is relatively light, she has not been very accustomed to eating, and people here like to eat sweets, even if there is a so-called "chili", it is also sweet and spicy sauce or garlic sauce, which makes her not very accustomed to it.

Although it is a coastal city in T City, this oyster does not seem to be as fresh as the hawker mouths, and this delicacy that should be in the night market seems to be a little difficult to digest in the morning.

However, even if the taste was not satisfactory, Ai Xin did not have the habit of wasting food, so she still sat on a small stool and honestly ate a whole portion of oyster fried before she touched her stomach and stood up.

If this one goes down, I don't think I will be hungry until the afternoon.

When she was paying, she was still thinking about whether to buy two more copies and bring them to Liu Yarong and Aunt Jin. But feeling the signal coming from her stomach now, she still dispelled this idea and bought them some of the most ordinary breakfasts.

After walking around in front of the porridge stall and buying some relatively digestible pastries, Ai Xin took breakfast and took a taxi and rushed to the hospital.

Liu Yarong is old, and Aunt Jin is not young, so the schedules of the two of them are very consistent, and they both wake up very early in the morning.

Although Ai Xin woke up at five o'clock, she shook around, and when she went to the hospital after breakfast, it was almost seven o'clock, and it was estimated that they should both get up, and it should be just right to send breakfast at this point.

However, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the hospital, Ai Xin stopped, and what happened in front of her made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

The hospital's ambulance roared in, flashing a dazzling red light, and stopped at the entrance of the hospital, the door behind the car opened, and two medical staff jumped down and quickly lifted down a stretcher from the car, on which lay a man covered in blood, his clothes and pants were torn, his facial features were no longer visible, and his right leg was strangely twisted to the side.

It was clear that it was a serious car accident in which the unfortunate man was.

But Ai Xin didn't stop because of a car accident, when her father died, she didn't have the opportunity to see her for the last time, she couldn't tell if it was misfortune or luck, but she never had any picture of that incident, and when she saw her father again, he was already a corpse with gorgeous makeup painted in an ice coffin.

What really stunned her was that the woman who slowly came out of the stretcher should be the wife or girlfriend of the injured man, and there were some abrasions on her face and body, but it shouldn't be too serious.

She has been expressionless, which makes Ai Xin feel very strange, ordinary people are either crying at this time, or they are emotionally broken, and the more fragile ones will even faint directly, and it is the first time Ai Xin has seen such a calm reaction.

This kind of calm, which was almost cold-blooded and numb, made Ai Xin think of a person for the first time - Ai Jinling, that is, his mother.

She looked at the woman in front of her, as if she could imagine her mother's reaction when her father was in a car accident. It was so numb, standing coldly on the sidelines, looking at the almost deformed corpse crushed by the airbag, the blood flowing in the cab, and the equally deformed female corpse next to him, as if he were just looking at an unrelated stranger.

Ai Xin felt that the indifference and determination in her bones were probably inherited from her mother, although she smiled from time to time, but it was just a little perfunctory to this world.

In their hearts, it seems that no one has ever been related to them, no tears have ever been shed for anyone, and no one has ever felt heartache for anyone.

They seem to be born with a lack of empathy, as if they don't feel the pain of others at all.

Ai Jinling's parents died very early, and she was raised by her uncle and aunt, although the relationship is average, but she has the grace of nurturing, so Ai Jinling is also content, and she has been more obedient since she was a child.

Before he reached the age of college, his uncle died, and because he had no children under his knees, he gave all his property to Ai Jinling, leaving only a house for his aunt.

Strangely, my aunt didn't seem to have any objections, probably because a large part of their property was also left by Ai Jinling's mother during her lifetime.

But Ai Jinling once revealed in front of Ai Xin that she felt that the most important reason should be that her uncle and aunt had long been separated, and her aunt had secretly transferred the property to herself in various ways for many years, and her uncle turned a blind eye to all this, so when her uncle's will was fulfilled, her aunt was embarrassed to say anything.

This is the strangest point of Ai Xin, Ai Jinling's mother, who seems to be forever speculating on everyone with malice, for her, the world seems to be full of evil, and people's kindness is disguised.

Ai Xin has always believed that the world is beautiful, believes in the inherent goodness of human nature, and believes that everyone will have their own shining point. But as she got older and older, she found that she almost perfectly copied Ai Jinling in terms of personality, even if it was not her own subjective will, many times she couldn't help but plan for the worst and test people's bottom line.

Scheming, thoughtful, and bottomless, are a few adjectives she has heard a lot over the years, maybe when others say it, they praise her with praise, thinking that she has a stability and mind beyond her peers, but it is more derogatory, which she knows very well and never refutes.

Only Tao Li seems to have never used these words to evaluate her, Ai thought to himself, probably because he was facing the simple-minded Tao Li, there was no need to play tricks on her.

Ai Xin came back to her senses, still looking intently at the numb woman in front of the ambulance, because she was afraid of being discovered, she also stepped back, hid behind a tree and continued to observe.

The medical staff has carried the man into the hospital, it should be rescued, but looking at the situation, it is estimated that there is more than one bad luck, if all of them are skin injuries, it is better to say, but if it hurts the internal organs, look at the amount of bleeding, I am afraid that I will have to rely on someone to take care of it for the rest of my life.

Theoretically, this woman should follow in at this time, even if she doesn't care about the other party's situation, at least she has to go in to go through the formalities and report the situation to the doctor, but the woman still stood still in place, as if she had been pointed, quietly looking at the door of the hospital.

The woman stood for about three or four minutes, and Ai Xin also lay behind the tree and watched her for three or four minutes, until she felt some numbness in her legs, and when Ai Xin was about to give up observing and go in, the woman's body suddenly moved.

For a moment, Ai Xin thought that the other party had discovered his movements, and wanted to turn his head to look at him, so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the breakfast in his hand. Turning his head and thinking about it, he had been watching from a distance, and he hadn't even moved, and that person's mind must have been in the hospital, how could he find himself.

The woman's legs shook slightly, as if she wanted to take a step but had no strength, and slowly, this shaking was transferred to the upper body, and Ai Xin saw that her shoulders began to shake, followed by the violent shaking of the entire upper body.

Before Ai Xin could react, the woman sat down on the ground suddenly, as if she was paralyzed.

Ai Xin took a few steps forward, I don't know why I really wanted to see the woman's situation, I was afraid that she would also have an emotional breakdown and faint or something, but as soon as she walked behind the woman, she heard a series of very familiar rhythms.

A voice with strong forbearance and strong despair, desperately suppressed but irrepressible, a small whimper came from the woman, and soon turned into a heart-rending cry.

The woman hammered the cold ground with both hands, as if she wanted to hammer it out of a crack before she was willing, her legs swaying a little irregularly, and the cry in her mouth gradually turned into a low roar like a beast.

"Why...... Why do you ...... I'm telling you to slow down, you have to listen......"

The woman's movements became louder and louder, and the sound came out louder and louder, but it gradually became unclear, probably crying too violently, and Ai Xin couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

Looking at the woman's swinging legs, Ai Xin realized that the woman was only wearing one shoe, and on the other foot was a dark sock, and the bottom of the socks was already covered with mud and dust.

At this time, Ai Xin reacted, this woman ...... This woman...... It's a copy of my mother.

Where can there be a wife who does not cry for her husband, but the sadness comes too violently, not just a hammer, but a knife, which stabs into the heart, turns twice, gouges out a bloody wound, pulls it out again, and continues to stab the next knife.

Ai Jinling back then, presumably the same, had completely lost the ability to suffer and collapse at that scene, and couldn't do anything to react to everything. And by the time I reacted, I had already regretted it, and I could only use my only life to remember.

Ai Xin suddenly felt very scared, she was afraid that she had inherited her mother's cold-bloodedness, and she was even more afraid that she had inherited her mother's dullness. There are many times when sadness comes, she can't feel it at all, and by the time she reacts, she has lost the chance to redeem it.

"Smack. ”

I don't know when, my hand lost its strength, let go of the plastic bag in my hand, and the hot porridge I had just bought in the morning was spilled on the ground, and the white rice grains fell on the cold ground, emitting bursts of hot air, and slowly rising.
