Looking at Anne, who was staring at her, Lan Li really couldn't hold back, and shook her head helplessly, and the corners of her mouth rose like this.

Just as Lan Li was about to speak, Anne eagerly leaned forward, staring at Lan Li's eyes with wide eyes, as if with such a movement, she could see the soul hidden in the depths of the skin, "Lan Li, come back this time, will you still leave? Will you leave after that?"

The watery eyes still have tears that have not faded, flashing with urgency, and the anxiety of suffering from gains and losses makes people feel soft in their hearts, and the words of denial are already rolling on the tip of their tongues, but they can't say it at all.

Then, Lan Li saw the disappointment and sadness in the depths of Anne's eyes, like a thin mist of rain, wrapped around the color of her pupils. Xiao Nizi slowly sat down on the bed, let go of Lan Li's wrist, the smile on the corner of her mouth drooped down with the curvature of her shoulders, and the light of the whole person seemed to dim.

"I know. You're going to leave, aren't you?" muttered Anne in a low voice.

"Annie. Lan Li called softly, trying to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it. In the face of parting, in the face of children, language always becomes so pale.

Anne muttered to herself, "I know, I know everything. You think I don't know anything, but I know everything. Anne looked up, her eyes slightly red again, covered with a layer of mist, tears in her eyelashes, full of grievances.

"Dad and Karen were together, every time he came to the hospital, he hid and talked to Karen, on the phone, he smiled very happily, but when he turned to face me, he became sad again, he didn't like me, Dad didn't like me all the time. But why? Is it because I did something wrong? That's why Dad left?"

"Daddy is gone, Heather is gone, Alex is gone, and now Mom is gone. Why? Why is this happening? Why does everybody have to leave? Why can't we be together forever? I want to grow up so I can be with the person I like and never be apart. ”

"Now you're leaving, too. Because you're going to chase your dreams, you're going to be the best actor in the world, and you can't stay here with me anymore, right? You still have your own life, and you can't stay in the hospital forever and grow up with me, right? I know, I know that. ”

"Lan Li, why am I alone in the hospital? Why am I the only one staying? Why is no one willing to stay with me? Is my mother suffering because of me? If I die, will my mother be happier? Then I won't be alone anymore? Why is everyone leaving? Why?"

The thick cry was asked one by one, but the tears always swirled in the eyes, stubbornly stayed, never slipped down, pursed his mouth, muttered indistinctly, and then the voice began to choke, the smart eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension, and the delicate eyebrows were knotted together and could not be stretched.

Lan Li only felt sad for a while, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Raising her right hand, Lan Li gently stroked the wrinkles between Ping An Ni's eyebrows, revealing a shallow smile, "Annie, life is like a journey, it's long, it's long. ”

Lan Li suddenly realized that Anne was a child, but not just a child. It was an integral part of her life, and she began to witness it early in her childhood, and if she continued to treat her as a child, not telling her anything, and continuing to glorify everything, she would sooner or later expose these lies and lose hope in life.

So, Lan Li knew that it would be difficult, but he decided to talk to Anne anyway.

"Everybody has their own journey, so there are some journeys that we cross over, walk side by side, and then we go our separate ways again and continue on the journey.

Some people start at the beginning and leave halfway, some join in and then disappear quickly, and some people, after the merger in the middle, stay with us for a long, long time until someone reaches the end and then say goodbye forever. ”

"Everyone has to complete their journey, sometimes alone, sometimes together. If you're lucky, when you grow up, you'll be able to meet a partner with whom you'll walk through your life, and even if you don't, it's the best memory you've ever had through the journey. ”

Lan Li's voice choked slightly for a moment, but he still calmed down, and continued, "It's like Heather." Heather has come to the end of her life's journey, but the past years are the most precious memories that will stay with us forever, as if Heather had never left. ”

Lan Li raised her right hand and gently rubbed Anne's hair, "This is a lesson, a lesson that everyone must learn and face. Whether we're traveling alone or in a group, at the end of the day, we all have our own journeys to complete. ”

Anne looked at Lan Li in a daze, and the sadness in her eyes flowed out little by little, "But...... But why can't I learn?" Then, the tears burst like this, and I cried again, "I don't want Daddy to leave, I don't need Heather to leave, I don't want you to leave, why? Am I too stupid? So I can't learn?"

The cry made Lan Li's heart break and her emotions almost burst, so she could only carefully hug Anne into her arms, hug her tightly, tightly, gently patted her back, and whispered, "No, it's not like this." I can't learn either, and I still haven't. ”

Parting is always so difficult, no one can escape the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, but again and again, life after life, he still has not been able to learn after all.

At the door of the ward, Anita held the pills and water glass in her hand, her back was only against the wall, and she didn't push open the door, but just stood quietly in place, feeling sad. After being in the hospital and getting used to death, my nerves gradually began to numb, and I didn't seem to care anymore, and I seemed to have become accustomed to it, but in fact, I didn't calm down, but gradually forgot what it was like.

Raising the back of her hand in embarrassment and wiping the tears on her cheeks, Anita pushed the door and walked in, put the object in her hand on the table, and then gently patted Lan Li on the shoulder and shook her head, "Anne's emotional ups and downs are too great today, I can't continue to cry, otherwise there will be problems with my body." ”

Lan Li let out a long breath, patted Anne's back gently, and whispered in her ear, "This is a very, very difficult subject, and I have not learned it until now. So, you're not learning now, that's normal, take your time, take your time. Now in this journey of life, I will always accompany you, and I will learn with you. ”

Annie's emotions gradually calmed down, and the crying slowly disappeared, and then raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at Lan Li seriously, "Really?"

"Really. Lan Li smiled and nodded, and said firmly, "Not forever, but at least now." Lan Li wiped the tears from Anne's face with her fingers, "You know, I want to be a good actor, I still need to keep running, if you can always accompany me in this journey and find your dreams, then we can run towards our dreams together!"

Anne bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and said timidly, "Is it like Heather?"

Lan Li's eyes flickered slightly, but his smile remained unchanged, "Yes, just like Heather." However, you can have your own dreams, just as Alex has always dreamed of becoming Superman, and you can also find your own goals in the future. ”

"I don't want to be Superman, he's not good-looking. Anne wrinkled her nose and said disgustedly.

Lan Li and Anita exchanged glances, and they both laughed, and finally Anita said, "Then don't be Superman, Anne can think slowly." However, if you want to chase your dreams, the most important thing is to take care of your body, a strong heart and a strong soul, which is the most perfect dreamer. ”

Anita picked up the clear plastic cup and water cup containing the pills and handed it to Anne.

Anne looked at Lan Li, and after catching the positive light, she took the pill, simply raised her head and swallowed it, and then drank all the water in the water cup in one go, and smiled proudly at Lan Li, showing off as if waving the quilt in her hand, after seeing the bright smile in Lan Li and Anita's eyes, Anne became shy again, and suddenly got into Lan Li's arms.

Looking at the skinny little Anne in her arms, Lan Li was just distressed.

For adults, they will never understand how much thrilling and earth-shaking the world of children has experienced, and their childhood memories have long disappeared into the cruelty and indifference of growing up.

Lan Li once read a professional research report that brought up an illusion of time. For a child, time passes very quickly, almost three times as fast as in the adult world, in other words, a minute may have passed in reality, but three minutes have passed in the child's world.

In the past year, it was three years for Anne, and the absence of Joss and Lan Li was such a long and difficult time, and every minute and second was not easy.

So, during today's meeting, Anne broke down twice before and after, and her emotions couldn't stabilize at all.

"Annie, let's set up a secret communication line between us, okay? If you miss me, send me a text message or video, and when I'm done with my work, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done, what do you think?"

Lan Li's words had just fallen, and then he saw Anne's eyes instantly brighten, like a little sun.
