In the afternoon, after the drip, Zixi walked out of the hospital.

The hospital is really not a place for people, she only stayed for a long time and felt that she was about to suffocate to death, walked out of the hospital gate, took a deep breath, and felt that the air outside was really not ordinarily good.

She sent a text message to Zhan Tingyu's mobile phone, telling him that she had left the hospital.

Who called him the gold master, now she is his appendage, don't pay attention to the ambition or something for the time being, don't mess with him obediently, everything will be OK.

Zi Xi look at the hour, now it is two o'clock in the afternoon, the time is still early, and I can still take the car to the company and work in the afternoon.

Although she still had a low-grade fever, she felt that after a morning of rest, she had almost recovered.

As soon as she walked to the bus stop, her cell phone rang.

She thought it was Zhan Tingyu calling, but when she took it out, it turned out to be the Gu family's landline.

It must be grandpa.

Zixi stretched out his hand and pressed the answer button, and put the phone to his ear, "Grandpa." ”

Gu Song's voice was a little low, "It's a pity, you're ...... now." Do you have time to come back?"

When Zi Xi heard such a voice, she subconsciously became nervous, "Grandpa, is something wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Song groaned slightly, "Your father...... He's back. ”

At this moment, the sun is shining in the sky, and there is a breeze caressing under the trees. It's obviously not hot, but it's a pity that I'm sweating.

Father is back!

Grandpa said that my father is back!

The father who left home and disappeared without a trace soon after she was born, returned, came, and came!

It's been almost 20 years now!

It can be said that Zixi has never met her father, because he left the Gu family shortly after she was born.

She had only seen photos of her father in yellowed albums, a few, a few.

She remembered that it was a tall man with a handsome face, he was very good-looking, and his eyebrows and eyes were very gentle. When Zixi was young, he often held the photo album and looked at it, and for a while he was very melancholy, why he didn't look like his father at all, his nose, mouth and eyes, but he was almost carved out of the same appearance as his mother.

For this, she was depressed for a long time.

Later, when I grew up, after a long time, and I was busy with my studies, I didn't often go to the photo album, and I didn't worry about a small problem for a long time.

She had asked her grandfather more than once why his father had left the house, leaving her and her mother behind, and where he had gone.

At that time, her grandfather would always hold her in his lap and keep her secret. Grandpa said that Dad went far, far away, and he hated Grandpa and Mom, so he avoided them, and it was possible that he would never come back for the rest of his life.

At first, Zixi didn't want to believe it. She always hoped that her father would return to Gu's house in the early morning or evening of the day.

But after a long time, Zixi slowly became sensible, and he also felt that he would not come back. Because really, it's been too long.

No one can leave home for that long without the place where they grew up, unless he has made up his mind that he never wants to come back for the rest of his life!

Therefore, when she received Gu Song's call, you can imagine how excited and shocked she was in her heart.

The person she's been looking forward to is back!

And that person is her only dearest person in this world, except for her grandfather.

Zixi sat in the taxi, staring at the scenery outside the window, and subconsciously pinched the bag in his hand.

She felt that the taxi was driving slowly, and she couldn't wait to step into the gate of Gu's house and meet that person. But she didn't want the taxi to go too fast, because she wasn't ready.

After all, it is a relative who has never crossed paths, what should she say when they meet for the first time?

When she was a child, she always envied other children for having a father, and her mother made her a delicate rag doll at that time, and when she wanted to call her father, she would always call at the rag doll.

Now, the real father is back, Zixi feels that her mouth is dry, and 11,000 words can't be used to describe her mood at the moment.

She's really, so happy!

The car slowly stopped outside the gate of the Gu family, Zixi paid for the car and got out of the car.

The taxi turned around and left at the door, and the sound of the engine grew farther and farther away until it became inaudible.

Zixi was still standing at the door, unable to open his legs.

Aunt Li, the self-guide, went out to take out the garbage, and saw her at a glance, "The eldest lady is back, the old man is waiting for you." ”

Zixi hummed, took a deep breath, and walked into the courtyard with his feet raised.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and the moment she stepped into this courtyard door, all her nervousness seemed to be reduced a lot.

Yes, he is a father anyway, she is a daughter. Even if there is only endless embarrassment and stiffness when they first meet, blood is thicker than water, and they will definitely get closer and closer in the future.

Zixi walked into the living room and saw the person sitting on the sofa in the living room at a glance.

She saw her grandfather, and she saw the man sitting across from him. Because the man was sitting with his back to the door, Zi Xi only saw a back when he entered the door, and he didn't see his face clearly.

However, at the same time, she also saw a girl sitting next to the man. A girl who is about the same as her, with long hair and modest dress.

The moment Gu Song saw Zi Xi, the sadness on his face dissipated a little, he raised a smile and beckoned to Zi Xi, "Xi Xi, come here." ”

When the man and girl on the sofa heard this, they all turned their heads and looked at Zixi.

Zi Xi didn't look at the girl carefully, and all the focus was on the middle-aged man.

He looks very handsome, even if he is over middle age, but between his eyebrows, he can still vaguely see the heroism and chic of his youth. The facial features are upright, the eyebrows and eyes are deep, and there is not much difference from the appearance in Zixi's memory.

Zixi felt that her heart began to beat happily again.

She lowered her eyes and walked to Gu Song's side and sat down.

"It's a pity. Gu Song said to the man, then sighed lightly, and said to his son: "It's a pity, this is your father, Gu Anran." ”

Gu Anran.

Zi Xi quietly recited this name dozens of times in her heart.

She pursed her lips, and the word "Dad" came to her lips, but she couldn't spit it out.

Gu Anran's eyes fell on her, looked at her, didn't know what kind of psychology she had, and said, "It really looks like Zi Yan." ”

Ziyan is Zixi's mother's name.

"Sister. The girl sitting next to Gu Anran suddenly spoke, and a soft voice called.

Gu Song frowned, and Zi Xi only looked at the girl at this time.

She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, very small and delicate, and her facial features were also very upright, although she was dressed plainly, she gave people a sense of being out of contention. Like a child in the countryside, pure and natural, without scheming.

What surprised Zixi a little was that her appearance was really similar to Gu Anran.

And she just called Sister Zixi, so she is......

Gu Anran held the girl's hand, and when he turned his head to look at her, his eyes obviously became gentle, and then when he turned to Zi Xi, he became a little light, "Zi Xi, this is your sister, Gu Ruo." ”

Younger sister?

Zixi was full of suspicions, Gu Anran left home very early, her mother only gave birth to her, and she didn't remember that she still had a sister.

Gu Anran seemed to see her doubts, "This is my daughter born to your Aunt Zhilan in the countryside." ”

Aunt Zhilan? The Gu family does not have many relatives, and Zixi's mother has no brothers and sisters, just an orphan, so she doesn't remember what Aunt Zhilan she has.

Zi Xi understands that the Aunt Zhilan in his mouth is his newly married wife in the countryside!

And Gu Ruo is the daughter he gave birth to with that Zhilan.

Zi Xi looked at Gu Anran's hand that was always holding Gu Ruo, and the joy in his heart was cooled by half in an instant.

In the past 20 years, he abandoned his wife and children, but married someone else in the countryside, and gave birth to a beautiful daughter? And Gu Ruo was only two or three years younger than her, so within two or three years of his absence, he had already been with other women, and he had also given birth to a new life, called her sister!

Zi Xi suddenly felt a little cold in her heart.

As soon as his palm was hot, Zi Xi turned his head and met Gu Song's gentle and kind eyes.

In this world, is it true that only grandpa feels the most sorry for her?

The old man has had such a son as Gu Anran in his life, and for so many years, although he didn't say it, he knew that Gu Anran ran away from home and had no news, which was a scar in his heart that was difficult to heal.

Now that he has finally returned, grandpa must be very happy.

And Gu Anran's willingness to come back, does it mean that this family still has a little weight in his mind?

Zi Xi suppressed the bitterness and sourness in her heart, and raised a smile, "Grandpa, father, he is finally back." ”

Gu Song sighed and clenched Zi Xi's hand, "It's a pity, grandpa's life, the only one who feels the most distressed is you." ”

He turned his eyes to look at Gu Anran, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, including disappointment and endless sadness.

After all, 20 years! It was a time when no one could afford to wait and stumble.

And Gu Anran has been gone for so many years, and the blow and damage to the old man is not ordinarily big.

After that, Gu Anran was called to the study by Gu Song to talk, leaving Zixi and Gu Ruo in the downstairs living room.

Aunt Li brought up the fruit plate, glanced at Gu Ruo, put the fruit plate in front of Zixi, and said with a smile: "Miss, you eat some fruit." Whatever you want to eat at noon, tell me, I'll make it. ”

Zi Xi glanced at Gu Ruo on the sofa opposite, probably uncomfortable, Gu Ruo lowered his head, twisted the hem of his clothes with his hands restlessly, and looked restrained.

I think I've been growing up in the countryside and haven't been to a cold city, and the unfamiliar environment makes her feel uneasy, plus the particularity of her identity, she feels embarrassed.

"Thank you, Aunt Li. Zixi thanked him and handed over the fruit plate, "Whatever you like to eat, take it yourself." ”

She is not a cautious person, her thinking is not so old-fashioned, and she is not so difficult to accept Gu Ruo's identity in terms of reason. The only thing she is uncomfortable with is the hurdle in her heart.
