Chapter 12 (II)

The next morning, Chen Yi, who had been sleepless all night, heard a knock on the door, thinking that her parents were back, she rushed over to open the door, but when she saw Bai Qi, he smiled, "Why hasn't your family moved for so many years?"

She didn't wait for him to say anything before she pounced on him, hanging on top of him like a koala.

Bai Qi then held her up with both hands, opened her legs and walked towards the second bedroom where Chen Yi lived when she was in school, and she asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

He threw her on the bed and sneered as he leaned down, "Round out my adolescent regrets." ”

Chen Yi, who looked sad, was immediately amused, kicked him away, Bai Qi quickly dodged, held her ankle, and bit her calf lightly, Chen Yi was not convinced, bounced up to bite back, and the two of them fought for a while.

Tired, they hugged each other and gasped, Chen Yi said, "Thank you, I know it's especially difficult for you." ”

Bai Qi said, "It's much simpler than I imagined, I got out of the car, saw the familiar road, and strange people, I found that I forgot everyone's faces, I looked at their faces carefully, I didn't know any of them, they didn't know me, maybe they also forgot me, for this city, I also became a stranger." ”

Chen Yi gently touched the side of his face, and Bai Qi turned his face to kiss her eye sockets, grinning, "I miss you." ”

They had only been separated for a day, and Chen Yi also smiled, "I miss you too." The two of them hugged quietly for a while, as if the two animals were checking the familiar smell of each other, and she asked, "Do you sleep here at night? My parents will be very happy." ”

"I have booked the hotel, in the city center, not far away. After he finished speaking, seeing Chen Yi's depressed face, he quickly kissed her forehead and said, "But I will eat with you, and your parents are still in the hospital?"

Chen Yi nodded, and Bai Qi sat up, "Let's go, go see them." ”

He walked into the supermarket and went straight to the liquor section, took two bottles of the most expensive imported wine on the shelves and put them in the cart, and was stopped by Chen Yi, she smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? My dad doesn't smoke or drink." ”

"Don't all older people like to drink?" Bai Qi still threw the wine into the cart and walked towards the other shelves, while saying, "It's okay, take it or not, there are guests at home who also need to open a bottle of wine, so what do your parents like?"

Chen Yi's hand was on the handrail of the cart and motioned for Bai Qi to go to another shelf, "Buy them elderly milk powder and calcium tablets." ”

Bai Qi then took a step back and walked behind Chen Yi, his hands passed through her armpits and grabbed the armrests, forming an encircled posture, pressing his chin on her head, his breathing making the top of her head itch.

Chen Yi laughed, "I really didn't expect this day-"

Bai Qi asked lazily, "Huh?" as she continued, "Ten years ago, I would never have imagined that ten years later, I would actually go to the supermarket with you in my hometown. ”

He asked, "What did you imagine ten years from now?"

"Don't laugh when you say it. Chen Yi fell into reminiscence, "The future I assumed for myself at the time was that acting, becoming popular, making a lot of money, and then announcing at the age of thirty that I would leave the entertainment industry for the time being, come back to you with money, and then take you to France, you can go to art school, and I went to music and dance school, to make up for my regret that I didn't go to college, and then return to China to announce my comeback in a high-profile manner, but I will no longer work so hard to make money, I only take the best movie scripts, usually travel around the world with you, and finally choose the most beautiful city to settle down." ”

Bai Qi exclaimed in disbelief, "Wow, you had me in your life plan at that time?"

"Have you forgotten? What did I say when I left, I want you to go to Beijing to find me, if you don't come, I will come back to pick you up when I earn money. Chen Yi craned his neck, looked at him and said, "You have always been in my life plan." ”

Bai Qi said movingly: "Let's first make your second half of your dream come true, travel around the world, buy a house and settle down, and then wait for me to make a lot of money, invest in making a movie for you, and return to the showbiz." ”

Chen Yi smiled, "At that time, I was an old lady, and I was still acting in movies?"

"You don't have faith in me? Bai Qi raised his eyebrows at her, and said seriously, "Besides, the old lady is not better, she has enough life experience, her acting skills are more realistic, and if she writes the story a little hard, she can win the Oscar." ”

Chen Yi lay back in Bai Qi's arms, rubbing him with the back of her head while laughing, she was so happy, she felt that her chest was filled with light and heat, she hoped that her parents would be stronger, and the whole family would be safe and healthy and walk this human road together with Hemei, then she would have nothing else to ask for in this life.

She suddenly remembered and asked, "Are your aunts and uncles still here?"

Although she vaguely used "here" to refer to "prison", Bai Qi's face changed instantly, and he nodded gloomily, "Here, I will always be notified if it comes out." ”

Chen Yi carefully used a calm tone, "Have you been to see them?"

Bai Qi shook his head, "I've never been there." ”

Chen Yi persuaded: "It's rare to come back, let's go and take a look?" I'll accompany you." ”

"Let's talk about it. Bai Qi was reluctant to continue this topic, raised his arm and put it down again, causing Chen Yi to "leak" out of his arms, and he pushed the cart straight to the cash register.

In the hospital, Zhou Biyun was very happy to see Bai Qi, she was lying on the bed and was in a hurry to sit up, so that the lines of the ECG monitor attached to her body were almost not broken, Chen Kuo hurriedly got up and held her down, she reacted, sat down obediently on the head of the bed, and greeted Bai Qi, "Bai Qi, why is it so sudden?"

"Uncle, aunt. Bai Qi's demeanor was as elegant as the male model in a TV commercial, he nodded, smiled, walked lightly, put two large bags stuffed with expensive imported food on the empty chair beside Chen Kuo, turned around to look at the monitor next to Zhou Biyun's bed, and then looked at her and asked with concern, "I heard Chen Yi say that you are not feeling well, I will fly over immediately, do you feel better now?"

Zhou Biyun accosted while looking around at the other three patients in the ward, these mothers-in-law and aunts cast curious and envious glances, and asked her expectantly, "Sister Yun, is this handsome guy your daughter's husband?"

Then she squinted her eyes, nodded, and instructed Chen Kuo to distribute the high-grade fruits bought by Bai Qi to everyone to eat, and enjoyed everyone's praise, "This fruit is cut, it's so beautiful, and it is labeled with foreign characters, it must be very expensive, your son-in-law is handsome and rich, and he is so filial, my sister is so blessed." ”

In the midst of laughter, the doctor took the nurse into the ward round, Chen Yi immediately rushed over to ask about her mother's condition, the doctor said that there was no problem, but because Zhou Biyun was not at ease, so he stayed in the hospital to monitor the heartbeat overnight, and now he came to see the electrocardiogram, everyone looked at the doctor nervously until he raised his head and announced, "Go back." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Biyun said anxiously, "How is it possible? I'm really uncomfortable." ”

Chen Kuo stroked her shoulder and said, "Oh, it's not good if you're not sick?"

When she woke up, the afternoon light sprinkled all over the quilt, staining the gray streaks into the color of fire-grilled cheese, and she sat up and heard the sound of local news on the TV outside the door, as well as the rustling of stir-fried vegetables from the kitchen.

She walked into the living room and saw Zhou Biyun reclining on the sofa, eating the cantaloupe that was cut into pieces on the coffee table with a toothpick, lazily raising her eyelids to look at Chen Yi, her eyes were full of disgust for "sleeping for so long?"

Three dishes and one soup have been placed on the table, Bai Qi is carrying a stainless steel basin the size of a basketball out of the kitchen, and beckoned to Chen Yi, "It's really time for you to wake up, the spicy crayfish has just been prepared, hey, you smell this fragrance, uncle's craftsmanship is even more powerful, let's take uncle out to open a restaurant, let's call uncle Chen's crayfish and occupy Chinatown." ”

Zhou Biyun walked to the dining table and asked, "What about me?"

Bai Qi replied with a smile while placing the dishes and chopsticks: "Auntie is responsible for collecting money." ”

"Don't worry, your aunt is still only responsible for eating. As Chen Kuo spoke, he brought out a dish of garlic water spinach and said to Chen Yi, "Just finished frying the last one, come, sit down and eat." ”

Chen Yi sat down with a dream-like expression, picked up the bowl, looked at the family at the table in the hot steam, and smirked with satisfaction, she said, "So happy." ”

Everyone understands her current mood, but Zhou Biyun seems to feel that there is an "opportunity to take advantage of", and deliberately lowered her face, breaking this warm moment, she reminded, "What happiness, if you marry Bai Qi, there can be another baby at this table, then it is really called a family reunion." ”

Bai Qi smiled and didn't speak, while Chen Yi looked at her helplessly and called, "Mom......"

"You, can you not mention what everyone doesn't like to hear?" Chen Kuo sighed, "There are so many dishes that can't stop your mouth." ”

Although Zhou Biyun was weak-hearted, his posture was still tough, "What's the matter?

Chen Kuo shook his head, "Chat and talk about being happy, knowing that my daughter is not happy to hear it, don't do it on purpose." ”

"As far as you know her, you feel sorry for her, the bad guys tell me to do it, you are a good person, a good father, I am a bad mother. Zhou Biyun said unhappily, "This is not a family, it is good for the two of us old guys to close our eyes when we leave, and we don't know anything, so we leave her alone in the world, helpless......"

"Where can there be no one to rely on? Doesn't this daughter have Bai Qi?" Chen Kuo said, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Bai Qi very solemnly, every word was stretched between the words, as if to leave room for his heavy sighs, he gasped and said, "I don't have to see a marriage certificate to believe it...... Bai Qi, you will definitely take care of Chen Yi, right?"

"Yes, uncle, don't worry. Bai Qi also replied with a serious expression, and promised Zhou Biyun again, "Auntie, as long as I live, I will not make Chen Yi suffer for a day, I can give her all the happiness she wants, don't worry." ”

Chen Kuo said to Zhou Biyun: "You see, Bai Qi is our little and big, and he has already been regarded as our son for a long time, we all know what character, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so you can say a few words." ”

Zhou Biyun snorted from his nostrils, reluctantly changed the topic, and instructed Chen Kuodao, "Peel the shrimp for me." ”

In the end, the meal was finally eaten happily, Bai Qi was ready to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks and go back to the hotel, Zhou Biyun kept it to no avail, so Chen Kuo persuaded Bai Qi not to stay and wash the dishes, it is not easy to travel a long distance, go and rest early, Bai Qi refused

, he stood up and went to get his coat, and at the same time looked back and said to Chen Kuo, "Uncle, I see that your face is a little pale, you accompanied your aunt to stay in the hospital for a night, don't be busy, I'll call a cleaner to come to the door." ”

Chen Kuo stood up to see him off, but suddenly felt dizzy, his shoulders sank, he held the back of the chair with one hand, and fell to the ground suddenly in Chen Yi's puzzled "Dad?" voice, everyone saw a large patch of oozing blood on his pants, Bai Qi rushed forward to help him up, but saw that Chen Kuo's eyes were closed and he was unconscious, Chen Yi screamed in a panic, "Dad!"
