After returning to the apartment, Qi Xiaoran hurriedly settled Chen Fangning, and went to sleep after saying "good night" to Xiang Nuanyang.

She opened her eyes suspiciously, and found that the bedside lamp had been turned on without knowing when, and Chen Fangning next to her had also woken up and squatted on the blanket on the ground, lying on her knees and crying, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Fang Ning?" she sat up, lifted the quilt and walked over, sat down next to Chen Fangning, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Fangning scowled and raised her head, and after glancing at her, she lowered her head again, her head was suffocated on her knees, and she said in a choked voice: "Xiao Ran, I feel sad." ”

Qi Xiaoran reached out and put his hand on her back and lowered his head, "You...... Did you go to find Lu Yanpei?"

When she was eating tonight, she saw that something was wrong with Chen Fangning, and her state was exactly the same as when she broke up with Lu Yanpei, and she couldn't help but ask again worriedly, "Fangning, are you really going to ......"

"I didn't mean to go to him!"

Chen Fangning raised her head suddenly, her mouth was flattened, her cheeks were full of tears, she sniffed, and explained in a crying voice: "I met him when I went to the northern suburbs sanatorium, I didn't expect him to come back." ”

"Northern suburbs sanatorium?" Qi Xiaoran was stunned, and the memories of the past rushed towards her, her body swaying slightly, "Why did you go there?"

"Dean Gu couldn't find you, so he called me. Chen Fangning suddenly remembered that there was still something she didn't have time to tell her, so she raised the back of her hand and wiped her face a few times, quickly putting away her emotions, "The dean said that Fu Yun's condition has suddenly changed during this time, and he wants you to go and see it, but your phone can't get through." ”

"Speaking of which, I want to ask you, what's going on with your phone, why does it always prompt that you can't get through?"

Qi Xiaoran couldn't hide her anxiety, her eyebrows frowned tightly, and when she heard her question, she slowly said, "My mobile phone happened to be broken that day, and the phone card will be replaced tomorrow." ”

"Dizzy!

"Then how is he now?" she grabbed Chen Fangning's shoulders tightly with both hands, her heart was beating like thunder, and her nose was sour, "Haven't you been in the nursing home these days?"

"You calm down first. Chen Fangning grabbed her wrist with her backhand, "It's nothing, oops, I don't know the specifics, I don't look any different, you still have to see it for yourself to know what's going on." ”

Qi Xiaoran nodded, self-blame, guilt and anxiety swallowed her together, withdrew her hand and hugged herself, lowered her head and thought for a while, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already full of water, "You're right, I'll ..... now"

"Xiao Ran, calm down!" Chen Fangning hurriedly held her down, "It's early in the morning, and you can't enter during non-visiting hours, don't worry!"

"I ....." Qi Xiaoran's throat tightened, and as soon as he uttered a single note, a crystal teardrop fell straight down, landing on the off-white short-pile carpet, and was swallowed up in an instant.

Fu Yun is her half-brother, and in a car accident six years ago, Fu Yun suffered a severe contusion in his spine in order to save her, and his brain was also severely injured, and he fell into a deep coma.

He didn't wake up until more than two years ago, but because he couldn't accept the fact that his lower body was paralyzed, he passively gave up any chance of treatment and rehabilitation, and also suffered from severe depression and mania.

As a last resort, Qi Xiaoran could only hide it from everyone and lie that Fu Yun went abroad for treatment. In fact, she asked her grandmother Qi Lijun's world friend Gu Lang for help and placed Fu Yun in a mental sanatorium in the northern suburbs of Jiangcheng for treatment.

Early the next morning, Qi Xiaoran rushed to the business hall to get a replacement phone card, and immediately called the manager after installing it and asked for a day's vacation.

Chen Fangning drove the car from the auto repair shop to pick her up, saw her standing on the side of the road, her eyes were blank, she felt a little distressed, sighed slightly, waved at her, and shouted: "Xiao Ran, get in the car!"

Qi Xiaoran immediately came back to his senses when he heard the voice, opened the car door and sat in, "Fang Ning, thank you." ”

"Thank you! It's been so many years of sisterhood. ”

"Thank you anyway. She turned her head to the image of the most difficult days.

After Fu Yun's car accident, Mo Zhen hated her even more, cut off all her financial resources, and forbade her to visit Fu Yun in the hospital.

At that time, after Chen Fangning accidentally learned about her situation, not only did she not alienate herself like others, but instead found a way to let Xiang Nuanyang participate in the school's financial aid program for poor students, so that she could be fortunate to be the object of his funding and complete her four-year university studies.

"Xiao Ran, are you wearing your seat belt?" Chen Fangning was driving the car, and accidentally glanced to the side, seeing her melancholy expression, worried that she would get into a dead end again, so she casually found a topic to interrupt her thoughts.

Qi Xiaoran really came back to his senses immediately, and subconsciously lowered his head to check the seat belt, "Fasten it." ”

"Oh, I just remembered and asked. ”

"Hmm. She didn't think much about it, pinched her mobile phone and re-boarded WeChat, just logged in, the mobile phone vibrated in her hand, and the message prompt of WeChat never stopped.

Chen Fangning frowned, "Who is this? In just a few days, he actually sent you so many messages?"

"Isn't this person stupid? After sending it three times, there's no need to post it, I'm afraid it's not a crazy suitor!"

"I don't know...... Road. Qi Xiaoran hesitated to reply, staring at the chat window that had been topped by her message before, nodded suspiciously, glanced at Chen Fangning, and muttered, "Fangning, it's your cousin." ”

“......”

After a while, the vibration of the mobile phone finally stopped, Qi Xiaoran first clicked on the dialog box with Xiang Nuanyang, and saw the messages and photos he sent when he was on a business trip to Mexico before.

After reading the message, she thought of the appointment between the two last night, panicked, and tapped her fingers on the screen quickly, "Mr. Xiang, I have something to do today, let's make an appointment another day, I'm sorry." ”

After sending the message, she slowly exhaled, exited the dialog box, and swiped down the screen, ready to view the unread information during this time, but Xiang Nuanyang had already replied.

"What's the matter?"

When she saw the message that was almost instantaneous, her depressed and gloomy mood that had been low since the early hours of the morning suddenly became a lot more cheerful, and she turned her head to look at Chen Fangning, eager to convey her happy mood to others.

Chen Fangning glanced at her from the corner of her eye, turned her head sideways and just wanted to ask what the situation was, but the other party no longer looked at her, but lowered her head and sent WeChat seriously, she couldn't help but roll her exaggerated eyes, and muttered in a low voice, "The guy who is heavy on color and light on friends!"

Qi Xiaoran replied attentively, and before she could click send, the phone rang, and the number displayed on the screen was from a landline, and she was already familiar with this number, which was the phone number of the office of the director of the nursing home, Gu Langgu.

"Uncle Gu. She swiped the answer button, her voice trembling slightly.

"Fu Yun wants to see you. ”

The fingers holding the mobile phone jumped unintentionally, she turned her head in a daze, quickly glanced at Chen Fangning, eased her senses, and said, "I'm on the road in the past now, my brother ......"

"Don't worry, Fu Yun's mood has been unexpectedly stable recently, and the initial diagnosis is gradually improving, but every night, he wanders around the room, and he is not irritable, but he is in pieces, and we only heard today that he was reading your name. ”

In the silent hospital corridor, from time to time there was a patient's hoarse roar of pain, Qi Xiaoran wrapped his hands around his body, and every step was difficult and uneasy.

She was afraid that she would see the hysterical Fu Yun again, and she was also afraid that he would complain that he had acted impulsively at the beginning, causing him to lose the ability to walk.

Standing outside the door of the ward, through a square transparent glass window on the door, she saw Fu Yun, who was thin and thin in a wheelchair.

His eyes were blank, dark circles around his eyes that could not be dispersed, and his handsome angular face was so thin that his cheekbones were terrifyingly raised. He sat there in a daze, and if it weren't for the slight shaking of his body from the laborious breathing, she couldn't feel any sign of his life in him.

Qi Xiaoran raised his hand with difficulty and put it on the cold doorknob, his fingers were so stiff that he didn't obey the call, and he didn't know how long it took before his wrist began to rotate slowly.

Seeing that the doorknob was unscrewed open by herself, and a crack appeared on the side of the door, she seemed to be able to feel a cold air like an ice cellar seeping out of the ward.

She bit her lip and walked in, her lips trembling and opening and closing, "Brother." ”

The man in the wheelchair slowly turned his head to look at her, his gaze calm and without a trace of emotion.

Qi Xiaoran couldn't hold back and fell forward a few steps, his eyes were full of water, and he swallowed the bitterness in his mouth with difficulty, "Brother, I'm Xiaoran, don't you want to see me?"

There was silence in the ward for a moment, Fu Yun's stunned face was a little loose, and his pale and bloodless thin lips lightly opened: "Xiao Dye." ”

She looked at him quietly, crystal tears rolled down like a dam bursting the embankment, she squatted beside him, held his hand with both hands, choked and muttered in a low voice: "Brother...... Brother ......"

I can't remember how long I haven't heard him call his name, since I was a child, only my grandmother and Fu Yun would care about her, care about her, and feel sorry for her. After her grandmother died, she was left with this half-brother.

If it weren't for saving her, he would have had a successful career long ago, and even had a gentle and virtuous wife and well-behaved children by his side.

Everything happened because of her, but all the consequences were borne by him for himself.

Fu Yun took out his hand and put it on her face, gently wiped away her tears, and said in an extremely weak voice, "Why do you still cry so much?"

"Brother......" she struggled to keep her eyes open, which had been blurred by tears.

"It's been hard for you in the past few years. Fu Yun said, sighing.

"It's not hard, it's all my fault. ”
