Chapter 24: Bad News (3)

Hearing this answer, Lin Yansheng didn't show any expression on her face, she hugged the two cups into her arms, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. For a long, long time, she didn't say a word, she didn't move her body, and if it weren't for her eyes open, she looked as if she was asleep.

Lin Yanhuan exhaled and was about to stand up, but his arm was grabbed by Lin Yansheng. She looked at him, her eyes a little empty and helpless, and muttered, "Don't go." ”

"Don't go, don't go. Lin Yanhuan hurriedly sat back in his original position and stretched out a hand to cover her hand. Lin Yansheng's hands were cold and terrifying, and the chill was transmitted to Lin Yanhuan through his skin, and he shivered invisibly.

Mu Yukai and Yu Qinling looked at the scene in front of them, they turned their heads and looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The room was quiet for a while, and then Mu Yi opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you talk first, I'll send my parents back first." ”

Lin Yansheng didn't speak, and he didn't raise his eyelids. Lin Yanhuan turned his head to look at Mu Yi and said, "You come back later, I have something to ask you." ”

"Got it. Mu Yi couldn't bear to glance at their brother and sister, turned around and walked towards the door. Before going out, Yu Qinling turned her head to look at Lin Yansheng, she wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes were filled with grief, her hands were clenched into fists and released, but in the end she didn't say anything, turned around and walked out.

The door snapped shut. Lin Yanhuan retracted his gaze, looked at his sister, and said softly, "Do you want to sleep for a while." ”

Lin Yansheng shook her head, she held the two cups tightly with one hand, grabbed Lin Yanhuan's arm with the other, and sat with her back straight, refusing to let go. Lin Yanhuan sighed, pulled her arm out of her hand, and said, "I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you, you lie down and rest for a while." ”

"You promised me, don't go. Lin Yansheng said, watching his younger brother nod firmly at her before lying back, but still refusing to let go of the two cups in his arms. She lay on her side, curled up, and the two cups were tightly held in her arms, not letting go for a moment. Looking at her like this, Lin Yanhuan felt extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't show anything, he couldn't grieve more than her, he had to support himself at the same time, but also support his sister's fragile will.

Lin Yansheng's eyes were wide open, staring blankly at his younger brother's face. Her heart was empty, as if she didn't know what had been hollowed out. She didn't feel pain, she didn't feel sadness, almost all of her senses were taken away by that thing. She couldn't think about anything else, her consciousness was sloppy, she just instinctively felt that she had to look at her brother's face, she had to hold the things in her arms, she had to look at the door expectantly. Outside the closed door, her parents would always walk in together, and they would smile at her, ask how she was doing, and lose her temper and say that she would not travel. The mother would hold her hand and say gently, "How can a daughter be sick and parents still go out to travel." "Yes, my daughter is sick, she's very sick, they really can't go out for a trip, they have to stay at home. Lin Yansheng thought to himself that they had to stay at home and stay by her side, because she was sick and they couldn't go out to travel.

The thoughts were circulating in her mind, never stopping, and no other thoughts were interspersed with them. In front of her eyes, she saw her parents walking in from the door again and again, holding her hand over and over again, and saying to her over and over again, "How can a daughter be sick, and parents still go out to travel". She is immersed in such a circular imagination, satisfied with such a circular imagination, like a baby in swaddling clothes, satisfied with the mother's nursing and father's care.

After two days, Lin Yansheng's body recovered a little and he could be discharged from the hospital. Lin Yanhuan packed up her things, and when he held her arm and was about to stand up with her, Lin Yansheng suddenly pulled his arm out of his hand vigorously, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Lin Yanhuan looked at her, didn't understand what she meant, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can't go. Lin Yansheng said, holding the two thermos cups and sitting down again.

Lin Yanhuan looked at her stubborn face, sat down beside her with a frown, and asked, "Why can't you go?"

"If I leave and my parents come and can't find anyone, they'll be worried. Lin Yansheng said, looking out the window at the leaves bathed in the sun, a little distracted.

Lin Yanhuan looked at her thin side face and understood that she still refused to accept the truth and indulged in fantasies. He grabbed her shoulders, twisted her body, turned her face to himself, and said loudly, "They won't be coming back, they're out of this world." ”

"You fart!" Lin Yansheng broke free of his hand, "You're all back, how could they not come back?" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, stared at him, and scolded, "Did you leave your parents there? Do you know that they don't know foreign languages and can't read maps, what if they get lost? Why are you so irresponsible? Are you still their son?"

"Lin Yansheng!" Lin Yanhuan shouted, his voice was very loud, and Lin Yansheng was stunned for a while. She stared at him blankly, looking a little frightened and helpless. Lin Yanhuan gritted his teeth, grabbed her arm again, pulled her to stand up, and said, "Go, hurry up and go home!"

"I'm not leaving. Lin Yansheng struggled, but she didn't have Lin Yanhuan's strength, so she was still pulled up by him, and staggered towards the door. She shouted, "No, I'm not leaving, you let me go! Don't pull me, my arm hurts! I'm going to stay here, I'm going to wait for my parents!"

Lin Yanhuan gritted his teeth, didn't listen to her shout, raised his voice, and tried to overpower her voice with his own voice, "They're gone! They're dead! Why don't you still accept the facts! What good do you do us like this!"

They dragged each other to the door, and suddenly it was opened. Seeing this scene in front of him, Mu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two of them, took Lin Yansheng into his arms, frowned and asked Lin Yanhuan, "What's the matter?" With the smell of rushing on his body, he obviously had just hurried back here from another place.

"You let her go. Seeing him, Lin Yanhuan's gaze turned cold.

Without waiting for Mu Yi to say anything, Lin Yansheng broke free from his arms, hugged the thermos cup tightly, and looked at him angrily. Mu Yi was about to respond to Lin Yanhuan's words, but he was surprised and puzzled by Lin Yansheng's actions. He turned his head to look at her, his eyes a little hurt and puzzled.

Lin Yansheng frowned slightly, lowered her gaze, and seemed to be thinking about something, and it took a long time before she said, "Mu Yi, have you forgotten that we have separated? Don't make this kind of move in the future." ”

Mu Yi's heart ached, and he wanted to grab her arm and say something. But Lin Yanhuan moved faster than him, he put his arm around Lin Yansheng's shoulders and walked outside with her without saying a word. Lin Yansheng somehow gave up struggling, she followed Lin Yanhuan's footsteps, hanging her head, her expression was a little depressed, but she was still holding the two thermos cups tightly in her arms, as if they were some life-saving thing.

Lin Yansheng's sister and brother left for a long time, and Mu Yi still stood motionless. He stared blankly at the empty ward in front of him, and did not come back to his senses until the little nurse walked in and asked questions. He smiled reluctantly, turned around and walked out of the hospital room. There were a few people in the corridor talking in a low voice, but Mu Yi didn't notice it and almost bumped into them.

After hastily apologizing, he suddenly showed a wry smile. Yes, they're separated, they're divorced, she's sick these days, he's so busy taking care of her, he's forgotten about it. Maybe he still had the idea of starting over with her, but from the look on her face just now, it seemed that there was little possibility. He stood still, propped his fist against the wall, and felt suffocated in his heart. has changed, everything has changed, Uncle Lin and Aunt Shen have left, Lin Yansheng has suffered so many blows for a while, she is no longer the simple and beautiful girl in her heart before. In the past, he couldn't figure out her mind, but now, it seems that she has built a wall in her heart, and even if he has any tools in his hand, he can't easily break through the wall and see what is going on in her heart. When Mu Yi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little hateful, he hated why it became like this, why everything couldn't be as good as before. If Uncle Lin and Aunt Shen hadn't traveled, maybe these bad things wouldn't have happened, and he and Lin Yansheng would have married smoothly, had children, lived happily together, and had a happy ending.

He stood against the wall for a long time, grumbling in his heart, and the suffocating discomfort was only slightly relieved. Fortunately, Lin Yanhuan came back, and with him taking care of Lin Yansheng, Mu Yi was relieved. Thinking of their conversation two days ago, Mu Yi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even find justice for Lin Yansheng, and Lin Yanhuan had to do it. Lin Yanhuan asked Lin Yansheng about the violation in detail, he didn't let go of every detail, he didn't blame Mu Yi, there was almost no emotion in his words, it seemed that he was not listening to what his sister had experienced, but about another person who had nothing to do with him. But Mu Yi understands that he already has his own ideas and ideas in his heart, and he will handle this matter well. Lin Yanhuan is so smart and so strong, these two things together don't seem to have caused any blow to him, he is still the Lin Yanhuan that Mu Yi knows, cold and gives people an infinite sense of security. In front of him, Mu Yi, who was a few years older than him, would have an illusion that he was the one who was young and needed to be taken care of.

He walked out of the hospital, and the sun was just right outside. He looked at the open lawn in front of him, where several people were walking, laughing with their heads down. Today is the 16th, and it is only more than half a month away from the original wedding date, but unfortunately the wedding will never be held again, and there will be no more graceful figure by his side. Mu Yi sighed in disappointment and walked towards the parking place.

These days, every evening he would go to Lin Shengming and Shen Jingyou's cemetery to see them. From childhood to now, they have always treated him as their own child, and his feelings for them are not something that ordinary godfather and godmother can replace. Their death is not a blow to him, but he can't collapse, he can't cry like his mother, he has too many responsibilities, not only to take care of his parents, but also to deal with the company and Lin Yansheng's affairs at the same time. He felt as if he had grown up, and he seemed to understand a little bit about what his father had taught him to scorn. And the complaints about his parents hidden in his heart seemed to have dissipated into smoke and dust at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. One of the biggest shortcomings of people is that they can't honor their parents when they are alive, and they regret it when they die. Looking at the gentle smiling faces in the two black-and-white photos on the tombstone, he felt very sad, remembering the self-blame and guilt of his parents these days, but he couldn't do anything but say some useless and empty words of comfort. Although his father can still hold himself up, his spirit is not as good as before, and his mother can still hold back from crying in front of him, but every night when he comes back from the company and passes by his parents' bedroom, he can always hear his mother's whimpering sobs. He wanted to say that it wasn't their fault, that they didn't have to put so much pressure on themselves and live in guilt every day. But he also understands how powerless this sentence is, Lin Yanhuan's words that day are clear and loud, he said that it was because he turned on the speakerphone and answered their phone, his parents were in a panic, they didn't control the car, and let the car collide left and right, so there was this accident. The oncoming van was not much of a responsibility, for they were at a corner of its sight and suddenly rushed in front of it. Lin Yanhuan didn't care about their feelings at all, and directly and clearly told the whole process. The mother broke down the moment she heard this, and she fell on her father's shoulder and wept incessantly. Lin Yanhuan looked at them and cried expressionlessly, without saying a word, maybe in his heart, he complained about them and hated them.

Mu Yi closed his eyes and exhaled heavily, a tear flowing down his face from the corner of his eye. He still remembers the expression on Lin Yanhuan's face, it was so cold, colder than the wind and snow in winter and October. He would rather Lin Yanhuan curse himself and make a scene, which is much better than that cold attitude that makes him feel much better. The important people in his life have gone two, lost one, and now even the other person has a dislike and hatred for him. He didn't understand why it was like this, he was trying to get the better out of it.

A gust of wind blew, and Mu Yi shivered slightly. He suddenly felt a little cold, and the two smiling faces on the tombstone seemed to have lost the temperature they showed to the naked eye.
