The clock on the wall pointed to half past ten, and Tong Yu fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand irritably. Ai Xin has been gone for almost four hours, and not only has no one returned, but he hasn't even sent a message.

Although she knows that she has her own personal freedom, she doesn't need to report to herself at all when she does anything. But now, the two of them are living together, even if they don't come back...... It's time to make a WeChat message.

Tong Yu sighed, I don't know when, he has long been accustomed to the shy but brave girl around him, even if he wants to protect her, he is always taken care of by her. I'm not young, and I'm not that irresponsible person. But I don't know why, every time he thinks of the future of the two people, he always feels a little dazed.

He slumped on the sofa and played with his mobile phone for a while, but finally couldn't help but sit up and sent a WeChat message to Ai Xin:

"Are you coming back today?"

As soon as it was finished, Tong Yu regretted it, and his tone was like a resentful woman waiting for her husband to return at home. But he still didn't withdraw, just quietly looking at the phone screen. It took a long time for the phone to vibrate.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I shouldn't be able to go back for a few days. ”

"Oh, got it. Tong Yu frowned and replied, then irritably threw the phone aside, lay on the sofa and closed his eyes.

After Ai Xin replied to Tong Yu's WeChat, he put his mobile phone in his pocket a little nervously, and a shout came from his body.

"Xiao Ai-" Liu Yarong lay on the hospital bed, looking at her with some apologies on her face, "If you are busy, go and get busy first, I don't care." ”

"It's nothing, it's Tong ......" Ai Xin held his hands, swallowed what he was going to say, and replaced it with a gentle smile, "It was a colleague who called and asked me where I put a document." ”

"I'm really sorry to let you ...... so late" Liu Yarong fiddled with her fingers a little helplessly, her face full of apologies.

"Auntie!" Ai Xin interrupted Liu Yarong and grinned, revealing her white and playful tiger teeth, "It's okay, I happened to be on vacation recently." Besides, although you don't want Tong Yu to worry, you can't carry it yourself. ”

"It's normal to have some problems when you're old...... Liu Yarong smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that you've worked hard......"

"It's okay, Auntie, do you want to eat apples?" Ai Xin pointed to the fruit basket on the bedside table, thought about it, and sat on the stool and peeled the apples without waiting for Liu Yarong to answer.

Ai Xin originally thought that tonight, only Tao Li was a major event, and he could return to Tong Yu's house after he was busy and enjoy the precious world of two people with him. But a lot of times, things don't work out the way you want.

While still waiting in the hospital, Ai Xin received a call. It was a landline number, although the name was not displayed on the screen, but the area code that came in front let Ai Xin know that the call was from T City. Few people know her private number, and there is only one possibility that she is from T City......

She was a little glad that the last time Liu Yarong came to Beijing, Li Man informed herself. Later, she learned that Liu Yarong offered to see her that day, but she thought that Li Man would perfunctory the reason that "the time is not ripe", but she didn't expect Li Man to really call herself.

Although this form of meeting her parents was unexpected by Ai Xin, and the timing was not so appropriate, she still had a hint of joy in her heart. When she saw Liu Yarong, Ai Xin couldn't help but observe her, and she could feel that Liu Yarong didn't hate herself. Ai Xin thought a little cheekily, maybe Liu Yarong still has a good impression of herself.

In order to make Liu Yarong like herself more and leave a deeper impression on her, she made some hungry snacks overnight and gave them to Liu Yarong, so that she would not faint due to low blood sugar on the way back to T City. In addition, she also wrote a handwritten letter, which was full of some of her heartfelt words to Liu Yarong.

The call was from the People's Hospital in T City, and Liu Yarong had a hypoglycemic attack and accidentally fainted when she went out to buy groceries. Everyone present was a little cautious, and no one took the initiative to help her up, but they still called an ambulance and sent Liu Yarong to the hospital.

After the infusion, Liu Yarong soon woke up. However, she is older, and the doctor still asks relatives to be present to sign or take care of her, after all, there have been many similar cases in the hospital before. Unexpectedly, Liu Yarong's mobile phone only had three people's numbers: Tong Yu, Li Man, and Ai Xin.

After some struggle, Liu Yarong still chose to let the doctor contact Ai Xin. For her, Liu Yarong still has some confidence, she shouldn't tell Tong Yu.

But when Ai Xin arrived, Liu Yarong regretted it a little. She only cared about not worrying Tong Yu, but completely forgot that Ai Xin was still living in Beijing. After about three or four hours of calling, Ai Xin arrived, and Liu Yarong couldn't imagine how she could get from Beijing to T City in such a short time.

"Auntie, let's have some food. Ai Xin cut the peeled apple into small pieces, tied it with a toothpick, and handed it to Liu Yarong.

"Thank you. Liu Yarong came back to her senses, smiled, took the apple and put it in her mouth.

"Thank you, I should thank you......" Ai Xin didn't know what to remember, lowered his head, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Eh, thank me?" Liu Yarong didn't know the meaning of her words, and looked at her a little inexplicably.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be able to take care of my elders. ”

Ai Xin raised his head and smiled at Liu Yarong. The smile was as bright as the sun, but it was like the scorching sun before the rainstorm, hiding the overwhelming sadness.

Liu Yarong felt very familiar with that smile. She hadn't seen many people in her life, but she couldn't forget that expression. Just over twenty years ago, she wore this smile on her face every day......

"Xiao Ai. Liu Yarong put the toothpick back in the bowl and looked at her with some pity.

"Huh?" Ai Xin raised her head, not knowing what Liu Yarong wanted to say.

"You...... Parents, are they still alive?"

“……”

Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Liu Yarong to ask this question, and she didn't expect her to ask so bluntly. After thinking about it for a while, she still shook her head, still with a gentle smile on her face: "They all passed away because of an accident." ”

"Hmm......" Liu Yarong nodded, but didn't know what to ask again. She thought that Ai Xin might be in a similar situation to Tong Yu, but she didn't expect it to be even more miserable.

"What about you...... Who have you been living with?"

"I'm alone. Ai Xin shook her head, "Since I went to school in Beijing, I simply moved here." ”

"Don't you have any relatives?" Liu Yarong looked at her.

"Broken contact...... Ai Xin paused, lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't want to recall that experience, "I...... I don't want to go back to that place. ”

"Hmm. Liu Yarong didn't say anything more, stretched out her hand to hold Ai Xin's hand, and the temperature of the two palms quickly spread to Ai Xin's hand.

"Auntie?" Ai Xin looked up and looked at her with some confusion. She hated physical contact, but she couldn't pull her palm out at this point. It's been a long time...... For a long time...... No one held her hand like that.

"If you don't want to go back, then don't go back, you also have a home here. Liu Yarong gently patted the back of Ai Xin's hand, as if coaxing a child to sleep, and said lightly.
