There was a slight pause for a few seconds, and after a while, Qiao Sijie's voice sounded again: "I'm fine, it's just that one arm is broken, it's not serious, and it's already in a plaster." （. .）”

However, his voice clearly didn't sound like it was fine.

Immediately after, there seemed to be a low sobbing voice coming from the phone.

Because the hands-free is turned on, everyone can hear it clearly.

William hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, since you're fine, aren't you...... Did something happen to Qiao Yanne?"

With the nervous look he was in now, it was hard to say.

Sure enough, Qiao Sijie spoke again: "He, he's gone...... When the earthquake struck, he was so frightened that he had a heart attack on the spot...... By the time I pulled over the car and took him to the hospital, his heart had stopped...... The doctor rescued him for a long time, but he still didn't get it back......"

After speaking, as soon as his hand was released, the microphone seemed to fall to the ground.

When William finally reacted and called back, the phone was always busy—it was the landline of a certain department in the hospital, and the extension number needed to be transferred from the switchboard, and the line of the hospital switchboard was very busy, and the local signal was not particularly stable for the time being.

"Give me the number, and I'll ask someone to check it and see which hospital it is!"

Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help but shout to William.

He got the number and immediately dialed the number so that people could look it up immediately.

And Ran Xixi, who was sitting on the side, was stiff all over, stunned, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He's dead?

Qiao Yanne was guilty of heart disease?

She did know that he had a heart attack, and it was quite serious, and he had had a few attacks before, and the doctor had told him to be careful.

Originally, Qiao Sijie didn't dare to tell him the truth, because he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it, but he didn't expect that Qiao Yanne still did not escape this catastrophe......

"I've found out which hospital it is, and I've sent someone there, and if Qiao Sijie needs help, I'm definitely duty-bound. ”

Zhan Xingchuan put down the phone and said with a solemn face.

"When the person is gone, will it be transported back, or will it be cremated locally?"

William asked anxiously.

After thinking about it, Zhan Xingchuan opened his mouth and said: "It's better to transport it back first, the people over there are not familiar with the place, and I don't know if there are aftershocks, and relatives and friends can't rush over." I'll figure it out and get them back first. ”

Upon hearing this, William immediately showed a grateful expression and solemnly thanked him.

"Don't say anything, although Qiao Yanne and I have never been at odds, he is no longer there, and the previous grievances will naturally be written off. Most importantly, make sure that the people who are alive are okay. ”

It's just that Qiao Yanne has died, and if she wants to transport it back, the procedures required are more troublesome, and some negotiation is indispensable.

Zhan Xingchuan immediately went to make arrangements, and William kept calling back, hoping to contact Qiao Sijie again.

Anyway, he still broke his bones and couldn't move.

After another two hours, the people of Zhan Xingchuan finally rushed to the hospital and found Qiao Sijie.

Only then did the two parties regain contact.

Hearing that Zhan Xingchuan would find a way to let the two brothers return to Zhonghai on a special plane, Qiao Sijie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has nothing to do with the local area, and now it is after the earthquake, everything is mainly for disaster relief, and even if he has money, he may not be able to spend it.

"Zhan Xingchuan, thank you. I didn't expect that in the end, it would be you who could pull me. ”

Qiao Sijie was a little moved, and his voice choked.

Zhan Xingchuan lowered his head and comforted him a few words, and it could be seen that his mood was also a little low.

In the face of natural disasters, everyone will inevitably lament the insignificance and fragility of life.

After an extremely difficult night, the next morning, Qiao Sijie took Qiao Yanne and finally set foot on the land of Zhonghai.

He wore sunglasses and was silent along the way.

When he went, he had the idea that he would bring him back safely.

But now, he has returned, but he is no longer alive.

As soon as he thought of this, Qiao Sijie couldn't help but burst into tears.

William had already been to Qiao's house once, and if something so big happened, even if he took into account Mrs. Qiao's emotions, he had to tell her.

Hearing the news of her youngest son's death, Mrs. Qiao immediately fainted, and Aunt Fang pinched her for a long time before she woke her up.

After waking up, Mrs. Qiao couldn't stop crying, and she couldn't stop crying until she reached the airport.

When Qiao Yanne's body was carried down the ladder, she immediately rushed up and almost fainted from crying.

Qiao Sijie not only has to take care of his mother, but also has to deal with Qiao Yanne's funeral, and he is so tired that his eyes are black several times. William advised him to rest more, but he just shook his head, and finally spit out a sentence: "It's not that I don't want to rest, I'm afraid that as soon as I sit down, I won't be able to get up again......"

Now he is just holding on with one breath.

Even Zhan Xingchuan couldn't look at it a little, so he asked Rong Qian and Ran Xixi to go to Qiao's house and ask if there was anything they could do to help.

Fortunately, Qiao Xiude also heard the news and came to take a hand.

The funeral took three days, and there was a one-day delay on the road, so as soon as he returned to Zhonghai, Qiao Sijie immediately mourned, cremated, and buried, non-stop.

After all, the Qiao family is also a big family, and if something happened in vain, it was really hard to prepare.

When the relatives and friends dispersed, Qiao Sijie finally couldn't support it anymore and almost fell to the ground.

Thanks to William and Ran Xixi on the side, one by one, they set him up, helped him to the sofa, and asked him to sit down first.

"Miss Ran, you accompany Sijie, I'll go and ask someone to get something. ”

William immediately went to the kitchen and ordered someone to make something to eat, and after a busy day, Qiao Sijie barely had any water.

On the one hand, he is busy and can't take care of it, and on the other hand, he can't eat at all and has no appetite.

"What if you bring yourself down? Your mother only has two sons, and she has already lost one, do you want her to lose the other?"

Ran Xixi hugged Qiao Sijie, his eyes were slightly red, and he said in a choked voice.

She thought she could understand his pain better than anyone else.

Ordinary people only think that they are brothers and sisters, but Ran Xixi knows that Qiao Sijie has loved Qiao Yanne after all, which is a love beyond his brothers, which once made him lose himself for a while, and even hate himself.

Now, no matter whether he still has that kind of affection for Qiao Yanne, losing this younger brother forever is definitely the biggest unspeakable pain in his life.

"I'm uncomfortable...... If I hadn't been smart, maybe I wouldn't have had so many accidents......"

Jostier howled loudly like a child.

He turned around and threw himself into Ran Xixi's arms.

She hesitated, hugged him gently, and patted him on the back with her hand.

Men can also be vulnerable and feel helpless, especially in such a painful loss.

Ran Xixi hugged Qiao Sijie and sighed softly.

At this time, she couldn't do anything but accompany him for a while.

She patted him on the back again and again as if she were coaxing a child. Not long after, Ran Xixi heard a slight snoring sound in her arms, and she looked down to see that Qiao Sijie had actually fallen asleep.

He hadn't had a good rest for two or three days, but now his nerves were a little relaxed, and he was surrounded by people he trusted very much, so he fell asleep all of a sudden.

Soon, William came over with a bowl of porridge.

Ran Xixi hurriedly gestured to him a little lighter.

"Asleep?"

William put the porridge down and asked in a low voice.

After another glance and making sure that Qiao Sijie really slept, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Great, it's best if he can sleep for a while." Miss Ran, can you not leave for a while and stay here a little longer? I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, he will notice it and refuse to sleep again. ”

Ran Xixi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

William immediately stretched his brows, and hurriedly went to the room to get a pillow and quilt, and brought them over.

"Don't move him, he's always slept very lightly, just sleep on the couch for a while. It's just that I've wronged you, this posture is estimated to be very tiring, the pillow is for you, and you pad your waist. ”

He said apologetically.

Ran Xixi shook his head: "It's okay." Give it to me, you go get something to eat too, and rest as soon as possible. ”

After saying that, she reached out and took it, put the pillow behind her, and gently covered the quilt over Qiao Sijie's body.

He slept soundly, unaffected, still asleep.

After doing all this, William nodded and left silently.

Ran Xixi picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhan Xingchuan, telling him that he would stay and take care of Qiao Sijie and would go back later, so that he would not wait for him.

He didn't actually sleep and immediately replied to her message.

"No matter how late you come back, I'll wait for you. ”

She looked at the screen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Soon, she typed out another line of words: "You're not jealous? Aren't you afraid that I won't go back all night?"

Ran Xixi did it on purpose, teasing Zhan Xingchuan.

He has really changed a lot, if it was before, as soon as he heard that she was returning late to take care of other men, he would definitely have a seizure on the spot and make a big fuss with her.

"You won't, my dear, wait until you get back. ”

Seeing his reply, Ran Xixi finally put his mind at ease and put away his phone.

Qiao Sijie didn't sleep long, probably only slept for more than an hour before waking up.

The impact of the earthquake on him was too great, and when he woke up, he was obviously scared, shouted, and then completely came to his senses, still shouting: "Yanne, the ground is shaking, run!"

Ran Xixi was also closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he shouted like this, he immediately lifted his eyelids.

"It's okay, you're in the middle of the sea. ”

She hurriedly soothed and gently patted Qiao Sijie's back a few times.

He gasped a few times before he came to his senses.

"I'm just sleeping on you, aren't you working hard?"

Qiao Sijie said with a guilty face.

Ran Xixi shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not tired." I've been looking at your arm, and if you sleep too soundly, one roll over and it's bad to press it. When you sleep on your own, you must also be careful. ”

He gently stroked her cheek with his uninjured hand, and said with great pity: "You have lost a lot of weight recently, pay attention to your body." I'm too busy to take care of myself now, I can't shelter you anymore, I'm sorry ......"

One sentence completely made Ran Xixi's eyes red.
