Slowly, Nathan stepped on the brakes, pulled the car to a steady stop, raised his gaze, and could see through the rearview mirror that Lan Li was quietly leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and recuperating, between the light and shadow, the calm and serene face, as if enjoying a moment of real peace.

Inexplicably, Nathan just had a sour nose, and the voice of the call was stuck in his throat.

However, Lan Li still noticed the stopped carriage, opened his eyes, turned his head to look out the window, and after arriving at his destination, "You don't need to go to the parking lot, there is a temporary parking space next to it." You wait there, I'll be down soon. After a brief explanation, Lan Li opened the car door, and the figure quickly disappeared into the blurred halo at the entrance of the hospital.

Nathan patted his head in frustration and slumped his shoulders down, frustrated when he tried to comfort Lan Li but couldn't say anything.

Walk into the hospital lobby, walk into the elevator, step out of the elevator, and walk to the nurses' station. A series of movements, in the past few days, Lan Li has been repeated many times, it seems that the body has left a memory, no need to open the mind, the footsteps pull the body to complete all the movements.

"Is Heather still in the ward, or has she already been sent over?" Lan Li asked the nurse on duty.

The nurse on duty looked at Lan Li in front of her with a stunned face, not only because of Lan Li's appearance, but also because Lan Li appeared in full costume.

In the past, every time Lan Li appeared in the hospital, she would wear simple casual clothes and even carry skateboards, looking like an ordinary teenager, but today, the well-cut suit and neatly groomed hairstyle make Lan Li look extremely strange.

“…… Ward. After the nurse on duty came to her senses, she still gave an answer.

Lan Li showed a shallow smile, nodded his head, and walked to the ward.

The white flickering lights, the white swaying walls, the empty corridors, the world was blue and white, it seemed that time and space had lost their meaning, just walking in the endless black hole corridor, the slight footsteps were dull on the soles of the feet, and there was no ripple at all.

Gently pushing open the door of the ward, you can see Derek and Elle sitting side by side by the window.

The two of them sat in despair, bathed in the bright moonlight, and the outline of their bodies outlined a light silver, like a quiet lake, sparkling, but no trace of rippling could be captured.

Sensing the movement in the ward, Derek looked up, and then saw Lan Li, and suddenly, he stood up, setting off a gust of air, and the whole room became colder and colder.

The text message was sent by Derek to Lan Li, and he felt that Lan Li had the right and the need to know. However, Derek did not expect that Lan Li would appear in person, and it would come so quickly. Looking at Lan Li in a suit and leather shoes, Derek was a little overwhelmed, and stood in place in a daze, without sound or movement.

"Why are you here?" Ellie's voice broke the silence, but the hoarse voice was like a mouthful of iron sand, and a simple sentence was fragmented. Sound, so strange, so alienated, so tense.

"Ellie!" Derek patted Ellie on the shoulder and shook her head, but Ellie frowned and struggled to get up, but her knees went limp, and she sat down again, extremely embarrassed.

"Ellie, I'm sorry. I just came over and said 'goodbye' and left right away. Lan Li stopped, stood in the doorway, and stood at a distance, behaving in a proper manner, abiding by etiquette, as if there was a large canyon in front of him, and the raging wind was blowing, and everything in sight became so small and helpless.

Elle relentlessly tried to get up again, and Derek stepped forward, hugged her, patted her on the shoulder, and whispered something.

Ellie looked up, her face haggard and her eyes blank, and her gaze fell on Lan Li's body.

Through the curtain of the moonlight, the light of the corridor as the background, faintly outlining the blue dress in full costume, a black suit with a white shirt, tied with a smoky gray bow tie, the handsome figure stubbornly straightened the waist, the shoulders, arms, waist lines in the light and shadow, faintly sufficient. Standing in the doorway with his feet stiff and polite, he didn't take a step past Lei Chi.

Ellie's gaze warmed, and then she turned her head away, hiding her pain and sadness. He refused to respond;

Derek knew, and Ellie agreed. He raised his head and nodded at Lan Li, who then took a step.

In a short distance, a few big strides, Lan Li came to Heather's side.

It seemed that she was no different from the afternoon, she was still sleeping peacefully and serenely, her thick eyelashes were cocked like butterfly wings, and her bright and playful eyes were hidden, and she looked just tired and tired, so she closed her eyes and slept well for a while, and when she was rested, she would open her eyes, sit up lively, and then mutter:

It's time for her to practice her guitar, and there's not much time left until the audition.

"Looks like you're going to miss out. Lan Li said softly, the smile on the corner of his mouth raised, "I promised you to take you to the Grammys with me." Now it looks like you're going to miss it, you little lazy worm. But, I'll keep my promise, and I'll still be at the Grammys, and Annie, and Alex the day after tomorrow. ”

After a moment's pause, he chuckled, but his eyes couldn't help but lower, hiding a flash of ghostly light, "I know you will definitely be annoyed that you missed this event. It doesn't matter, when Anne comes back, she's going to tell you all about everything that's going on, you know, she's always been a storyteller. ”

"Don't worry, you've kept your promise, and I'm not going to dwell on it anymore. Lan Li's smile fluttered gently, as if a butterfly had flapped its wings, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

After a slight glance, Lan Li saw the kite on the windowsill, the butterfly kite, "The weather in New York today is very good, it seems to be the best day this winter." I was going to go kite flying with you, but now it seems that I can only do it next time. ”

The words came to a halt here, and there seemed to be a myriad of topics to talk about, but all seemed to be useless nonsense. After thinking about it, it came to an abrupt end.

The smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed a little again, it seemed to be self-deprecating, and it seemed to be brisk, and the drooping eyes hid the emotions in his heart, and there was no trace on the calm surface. Then, with her hands behind her back, Lan Li slowly bent down and approached Heather's calm and serene face.

I don't know why, Lan Li always felt that Heather would suddenly open her eyes, pretend to be fierce, and shout, "I'm scared of you!" and then looked at the frightened victim and laughed. Such a prank, so vivid, so vivid, that there is an illusion that it really happened, and the smile on the corner of the mouth precipitates to the bottom of the eyes.

Lan Li leaned into Heather's ear and whispered, "Don't worry. Your secret is kept in that melody, and it's always safe. After speaking, he raised his upper body slightly, his eyes seriously traced Heather's cheeks and facial features, and finally on his white and broad forehead, he gently and gently imprinted a kiss, "Good night." Heather Cross. ”

Not goodbye, but goodnight.

Then, standing up straight, Lan Li looked at Derek and Ellie, who were sitting on the other side of the bed. Although Ellie still twisted her head, refusing to make any form of eye contact, Lan Li smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first, and leave you and Heather a little private time." Derek, Ellie, thank you. ”

A simple "thank you" made Elle raise her head and look at Lan Li in a daze, and then saw a familiar smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth; Derek opened his mouth, but didn't make any sound, just nodded awkwardly in response.

"Good night. Lan Li politely said goodbye, and then, turned around, and left the room.

Seeing Lan Li's back gradually drifting away, penetrating the tall figure of the suit and leather shoes, in a trance, Elle seemed to see Heather's graduation ceremony.

A handsome, tall boy, dressed up, came to his home to invite Heather to the prom, and Heather stood at the top of the stairs in a beautiful dress with a fishbone braid. Her Heather has finally grown up.

Involuntarily, Elle stretched out her right hand, as if she wanted to call Lan Li, but after all, she still couldn't speak, only to see the door open and close, and the entire ward fell into silence again. Suddenly, Ellie's tears burst the embankment, and she was so sad that she couldn't help herself.

Derek raised his hand and tried to soothe Ellie, but found that his fingertips trembled violently, and he lifted and lifted, but finally he couldn't put it down, leaning against the wall in nothingness and dazedness, his eyes swelling with warmth, and he quickly closed his eyes in embarrassment. Tightly.

Leave the ward, leave the hallway, walk into the elevator, get out of the elevator, leave the hospital lobby, and walk to the car. A series of movements, in the cold and quiet of midnight, methodical and step-by-step, before Nathan had time to come to his senses, Lan Li opened the car door and sat in the back seat, "Let's go, let's go back to the apartment." ”

Nathan looked at the rearview mirror in a daze, everything that happened today was too incredible, Nathan's thoughts were a little out of pace, "Huh?" he reacted subconsciously, Lan Li repeated it again, but Nathan's mind was still full of question marks, and he confirmed again, "Huh?"

"I said, let's go back to the apartment now. Lan Li did not get the slightest impatient, and patiently explained unhurriedly, "When I get up tomorrow morning, I need to pick up Anne and Alex first, and then rush to the airport, and I need to rest a little earlier tonight." By the way, have you contacted the private doctor in Los Angeles? Have you exchanged all the medical records of Anne and Alex? It's only a three-day trip, but we need to be prepared. ”

Nathan finally came to his senses, his eyes ached, and he nodded in a panic, "Well, it's all arranged." ”
