Chapter 9 Growth
A week later.
Mai Dong's family and Du Heng sent Du Lin and Ms. Xue to fly to the United States, and since this week, Du Heng and his grandfather have tried to persuade him to go to the United States several times, but Du Heng has not wavered once, and he has given up. Mai Dong has always been worried, and many times he has pretended to be a cheater and not let Du Heng go to see his grandfather. Du Heng seemed to know her worries, and almost didn't go to see his grandfather, and hung up quickly every time he answered the phone. He used his actions to tell Mai Dong that he would never leave her to go to the United States, and Mai Dong's hanging heart finally let go a little.
As long as he doesn't go to the United States, as long as he is still by his side, he will definitely be able to, and he will definitely be able to change the ending.
Mai Dong observed that the situation was good, and he was allowed to go to the airport to see him off. Lying on the hospital bed all the time, he finally felt that the pores of his whole body were stretched, Mai Dong took a deep breath of the air outside, and Du Heng hurriedly rolled up the car window.
"What's the matter, how comfortable this wind blows. Mai Dong wanted to roll down the window again.
"You're going to get on the airport highway ahead, you can't blow the wind now, and you're going to have a headache in the future. Du Heng took her hand and stopped her.
Mai Dong felt that Du Heng had become a lot more serious since he woke up, just like now that he was frowning and looking at her, she began to be inexplicably cowardly.
"Mai Mai and Xiao Heng have a really good relationship, no wonder he doesn't follow us and wants to stay at home. Yun'er, I've handed over my son to you, you have to help me take good care of him. Ms. Xue looked at her friend in the back row and said.
"Don't worry, I have long wanted to take Xiaoheng over to raise, this is a chance, and I can be praised once in the future for holding a parent-teacher conference, so as to save ourselves being scolded every time because of our monkeys." Ms. Miao patted her friend's hand to reassure her.
"How can I be so skinny?" Mai Dong was not happy.
"You have only been reliable for the past two years, I still remember when you were in kindergarten, you could get the teacher to call me eight times after five days of class, and the reason for the complaint was different each time. ”
Mai Dong puffed out his cheeks and didn't speak, and several parents seemed to have found the beginning of the conversation, and began to turn over Mai Dong's black history and count them one by one again.
Du Heng pursed his lips and laughed beside him, and Mai Dong flew several times, but he couldn't stop him from snickering. Mai Dong thought about it after giving up on himself, he had been straining his face for a week, and finally smiled and let him go.
The parting was sad, Miao Yun and Xue Rou both cried, and when they came back, several people were not in a good mood. There is a cake shop near the hospital, Miao Yun has always liked the cakes there, Mai Dong's eyes signaled, plus the temptation of words, let Su Xia take the depressed Miao Yun to eat desserts to change his mood.
Only Du Heng and Mai Dong were left in the ward. Mai Dong turned on the TV bored, the TV was replaying the classic TV series "Love Through Time and Space", the little toy was happily holding a birthday banquet for the old emperor, making cakes that were not available in that era, Mai Dong looked at it, smiled unconsciously, and laughed and laughed tears came down.
"Mai Mai ......" Du Heng looked at her worriedly and handed her a tissue.
"I'm fine...... Mai Dong wiped his tears: "I'm just ......" Mai Dong was thinking of the reason.
"You don't have to tell me now, you can tell me when you want to. Du Heng could see her embarrassment at a glance.
Mai Dong looked at him in surprise: "What do you know?"
"I don't know anything, I just feel weird, and it's been weird since the day you said dad might have had an accident. You seem to know very well that Dad is going to have an accident during the mission, and you know that Mom is going to have a car accident, and you're not surprised at all that I have a grandfather, Mai Mai, and you really can't hide. Du Heng made flaws one by one. Every time she said a little, Mai Dong's face would turn pale, until finally, she bit her lower lip tightly, and Du Heng gently hugged her in his arms: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no one knows, don't be afraid." ”
The warm embrace calmed Mai Dong down, she took a deep breath and secretly cheered herself up, her intuition told her that she could trust Du Heng.
"This story is a bit long......" thought it was very long, but it was only a few words, Mai Dong omitted the scene of Du Heng's death, and only told him that he went abroad after his parents died, and finally took out the jade pendant: "You see that when you first gave it to me, it was budding, and now there is only the last bit left." I'm not sure if there's a connection. ”
Du Heng looked at Yu Pei in surprise, and then looked at Mai Dong, there was too much information for him to react for a while: "You wait, let me slow down alone." He had thought of many possibilities, but he hadn't thought of anything so fantastical.
Mai Dong felt a lot better when he said it, looked at him innocently, picked up the mangosteen on the table and ate it with relish. Du Heng finally figured things out, and saw Mai Dong eating extremely happily with the small mangosteen, and the big bag of mangosteen had already eaten almost.
"You eat less, mangosteen is cold, and it's not good for your health. She was so anxious that she threw the problem to him, and she was very happy.
"I didn't eat much ......," and then looked at the table of mangosteen skins and smiled. Immediately change the subject: "What do you think now?"
"According to you, this car accident is not a coincidence, and my father's mission is not a coincidence, then these are all man-made, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes, who will this person be?"
"I think your dad must have found something, but unfortunately he doesn't know anything now. ”
"Mai Mai, what do you think, how about me being a policeman?" Du Heng said.
"Police?" Mai Dong was stunned for a moment: "Don't you dislike being a policeman?"
"But if this matter is not clarified for a day, everyone has been in danger. Since there is a crisis, then we must dig it out and solve it!" Du Heng showed a resolute expression on his face.
Mai Dong thought about it, it's good to be a policeman, the righteous side is better than the previous life, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I support you, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to arrest that person." ”
Du Heng smiled shyly: "Thank you, Mai Mai!" Then he thought of another question: "Mai Mai, will I be tall in the future?" He began to rise in height this year, but he only grew a little taller, barely the same as Mai Dong, and drank a lot of milk, he was very anxious.
"It's about the same as it is now. Looking at the anxious expression, Mai Dong teased him.
"Huh?" "How can it be, his parents are so tall, could it be that he has a genetic mutation, so what should I do, Mai Dong doesn't like short people."
"Lied to you, it's taller, more than 1.8 meters. Mai Dong smiled mischievously.
"Mai Mai ......"
Mai Dong stayed in the hospital for more than 20 days, and after being discharged, the high school entrance examination was coming soon, she didn't dare to ignore it, and asked Du Heng to review her homework every day. Su Xia and Miao Yun both persuaded her that if she couldn't do it, she would go directly to the experimental class as a teacher's child, but Mai Dong still wanted to try it herself, live a new life, and live a different life. When I was studying, I always felt that it was really difficult to read, and it was not until I later went out of society that I realized that learning knowledge was really the easiest thing in the world. Because as long as you give, you will definitely be rewarded.
Du Heng was also very anxious, he calculated the time very carefully, and then chose the most understandable method to give Mai Dong a lecture, when Mai Dong sat in the examination room, he was instantly relieved when he saw the question, and the high school entrance examination was always easier than he imagined.
After the high school entrance examination and the three-month summer vacation, Mai Dong spent all his time tutoring and practicing sanda, and only after experiencing death did he understand how important it is to have life-saving skills.
Like with the blessing of Mai Dong's words, Du Heng grew five centimeters taller in a summer vacation, growing too fast, Miao Yun was worried that his bones were loose, and he made nutritious meals with calcium every day. Finally, Du Heng, who was a little taller than Mai Dong, expressed great satisfaction.
Mai Dong has seen Du Heng reading books on investigation more than once, he is like this, once he determines the direction, he will work in that direction, what about himself, what is his direction? Mai Dong does not know.
Mai Dong was unexpectedly shaking her mind when she was eating, Du Heng watched her put a piece of bitter gourd in her mouth, and was about to speak, and thought about it again, it's okay, bitter gourd is defeated, and it's not bad to eat it.
"Bah, it's so bitter!" Mai Dong spit out: "Why do you let me eat bitter melon?" "I can't understand why someone likes to eat such a bitter thing.
"Speak with evidence, it's up to you. Du Heng refused to be angry.
"You're talking more and more like a police officer now, and you still have evidence, why don't you say that you want to sue me for defamation?" Mai Dong pouted.
"The necessary condition for the crime of defamation is that it needs to be done in a public manner, and you are not yet up to the mark. What do you think, so obsessed?" Du Heng sandwiched a piece of her favorite sweet and sour chops for her.
"I'm wondering, what am I going to do in the future?" Mai Dong poked at the rib and whispered.
"Huh?" Du Heng didn't quite understand what she meant.
"You have your clear direction for the future, and I'm still very confused about the future, I don't know what I like, I don't know what I'm going to do, what the future looks like, if I do it all over again, I still follow the original trajectory and go again, then for me, rebirth doesn't have any meaning. The more Mai Dong spoke, the more dazed he became.
"Mai Mai ......" Du Heng asked Mai Dong to look at him: "Listen to me, we are only 15 years old now, if we can live to be 80 years old, then we have not even reached one-fifth of our life." I was sure where I was headed, and it was only because I needed to find out who was behind it. And you, Mai Mai, your life should be pure, you can think slowly, try slowly, no matter what you do, I am always there, no matter what you do in my future, it is a very important part of my life. So, don't rush, take your time, you can learn to enjoy your life. ”
"Is that so?" Mai Dong thought suspiciously. However, I always want to help you so that you don't have to go it alone and have a hard time.
