Nanxi knows in his heart, no matter what Deng Jiaxiang says, Xiaohe can't live in someone else's house! She's going to have to bring her sister home today.

So she nodded to Deng Jiaxiang: "Okay, I believe what you say." For me, it's enough that you have this piece of heart. I don't hate you that much anymore, you don't have to feel guilty, just go and live your future life. Xiaohe is my sister, and she has no reason to be a burden to you. I thank you for all the things you have done for the two of us, but I must take Xiaohe with me today, and this matter is not negotiable. ”

After Nanxi finished speaking, Deng Jiaxiang came more and more, and went upstairs to clean up Nanhe's things.

Lu Zaiyuan naturally wanted to keep up with her, but he was stopped by Dr. Zhou. Dr. Zhou whispered to him, "You wait downstairs for a while, I have something to talk to Xiaoxi." ”

Nanxi went up to the second floor, found Nanhe's bedroom, opened the door and went in, and found that it was exactly the same as Nanhe's bedroom at home.

She was stunned for a moment, and then heard Dr. Zhou's voice behind her: "Xiaoxi, can I talk to you a few words?" ”

Nan Xi looked back at Dr. Zhou: "Is it about Xiaohe's condition?" ”

"Yes." Dr. Zhou nodded.

Nanxi walked into the room, leaned on the dresser, and beckoned to Dr. Zhou: "Doctor Zhou, please come in, let's sit down and talk."

Doctor Zhou walked in, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Nanxi, and said, "Xiaoxi, I can understand your mood very well at the moment, Xiaohe has no ability to protect herself at all, she is not by your side, you must not be at ease." ”

"It's not just because of this, the most important reason is that Xiaohe is my sister, and she is my responsibility, not anyone else's. I don't have a reason to bother people, do I? Nanxi said to Dr. Zhou.

Dr. Zhou smiled lightly: "You are a very strong girl, I admire you very much, really." However, in the matter of Xiaohe, I advise you not to be rash. ”

"How can I be rash? I came here to pick up my sister, and it was only right and deserved. It was Deng Jiaxiang who was acting rashly, he thought that if he took care of Xiaohe, he would be able to make up for his previous debt to me, but in fact, it was not necessary, the matter between me and him had nothing to do with Xiaohe at all, and besides, people go to high places, I can understand, and I don't hate him so much. Nan Xi was talking as he put together the clothes used by Nan He.

Dr. Zhou continued to persuade unhurriedly: "I said that you are rash because you blindly emphasize your responsibility and insist on keeping Xiaohe by your side, instead of thinking about the problem from the perspective of what is beneficial to her recovery. I'm the most professional person in Xiaohe's treatment, don't you ask my opinion? ”

When Nan Xi heard this, he couldn't help but froze: "Doctor Zhou, do you think it's a good idea for Xiaohe to stay here?" ”

Doctor Zhou nodded: "Why Xiaohe relapsed this time, you and I know best. At the beginning, it was because I said, 'To untie the bell, you must tie the bell', that you went to ask Deng Jiaxiang. Now it seems that my strategy was right. The creek is currently recovering, which is a good sign. ”

"Do you think she's doing well right now?" Nanxi asked hesitantly.

"Xiaoxi, you have to know how many autistic patients can't speak in their lives, Xiaohe is now occasionally willing to respond to Deng Jiaxiang's words, what an amazing progress! Yesterday I heard her talking to Deng Jiaxiang, and I almost burst into tears with excitement, how could you, as her sister, not feel it? Doctor Zhou spoke earnestly and glared at Nanxi with great dissatisfaction

Nanxi was immediately confused.

She was stunned and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered Sister Fen's reminder that day. She said: "But Xiaohe's treatment can't always rely on Deng Jiaxiang, right? Sooner or later, she will have to get rid of her dependence on Deng Jiaxiang, won't she? Isn't there a better way to cure Xiaohe's illness than Deng Jiaxiang's company? ”

"Xiaoxi, Xiaohe has been sick for so many years, don't you know about the mental illness of autism? Autism is not a cold and fever, it will be fine if you take medicine. Haven't you ever been to a few nursing homes for people with autism? Have you forgotten those patients? Most of them have never been able to get out of the autistic world in their lives. If there was a better way, would I not use it for Xiaohe? Among my patients, Xiaohe's condition is the same as Xiaohe's condition, and only Xiaohe is the best in the world, and the rest of them are completely unresponsive to the people and things around them, and I want to build their families to give up active treatment and transfer them to a nursing home," Dr. Zhou said, shaking his head and sighing bitterly.

"The sanatorium can't do that, I can't let Xiaohe spend her whole life in the sanatorium, I want her to get better, I want to watch her get married, have children, and live a normal life" The thought of sending her sister to that kind of sanatorium, surrounded by some puppet-like people, even doctors and nurses quietly don't like to talk, like an abandoned corner of the world, her heart shuddered.

Seeing the change in her attitude, Dr. Zhou stood up and said, "As a doctor, I must give you the most professional advice." However, as Xiaohe's guardian, the decision of her stay is in your hands. Think about it yourself, I'll go downstairs and see the river. ”

"Doctor Zhou!" Nanxi chased after Dr. Zhou a few steps, "Is there really no better way?" What happens if I bring the creek home? ”

"I think," Dr. Zhou thought about for a moment, "I'll give you an analogy, the so-called autism is like a curse being placed on Xiaohe's body, and if you want to lift this curse, you need Deng Jiaxiang's voice and breath." If it weren't for the river, there would be no way to be freed from the seal, and she would have been pressed by that spell all the time."

"Say no more! I get it! Hearing Dr. Zhou say this, Nan Xi suddenly felt a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness, she sat down in her chair, waved her hand and motioned to Dr. Zhou to stop talking.

Dr. Zhou raised an eyebrow and went downstairs.

After a while, Lu Zaiyuan ran up. He saw her lying on the dresser, silent, so he came over to help her shoulder: "Xiaoxi, what did Dr. Zhou tell you?" ”

"Doctor Zhou said that Xiaohe was sealed by a mysterious power, and the spell to lift the seal was only in Deng Jiaxiang's hands" Nan Xi raised his head and buried his face in Lu Zaiyuan's arms, "I'm so sad, why is this happening?" Is it true that my sister is not up to me? ”

"It's better to do this, let's send Xiaohe abroad, I asked my friend to find a professional autism nursing institution in the UK, maybe after a period of recuperation, Xiaohe can recover." Lu Zaiyuan didn't know what to do, and this was the only way he could come up with.

But Nanxi shook his head: "No, I don't think I'd better take my sister to risk, listen to Dr. Zhou."

When Nanxi said this, he couldn't be more depressed in his heart. She silently shed tears and hugged Lu Zaiyuan tightly: "I hurt Xiaohe, but I can't save her, I'm so sad"

Lu Zaiyuan had no choice but to comfort her: "Don't think too much, since Dr. Zhou is very optimistic about Xiaohe's recovery, then let's let her stay here for a while and observe her condition." If she can get better, of course it's a good thing, and wouldn't it be better to take her home when the time comes? ”

"That's all I can think of." As Nanxi spoke, tears crackled and fell.

She was upstairs upstairs for a while before she wiped away her tears and went downstairs.

At this time, Dr. Zhou had already left, and Deng Jiaxiang was holding Nanhe's hand and walking around the courtyard.

Seeing Nanxi come out, Deng Jiaxiang led Nanhe to her, pointed at Nanxi, and said to Nanhe: "Xiaohe, say hello to my sister." ”

Nanhe lowered his head, didn't look at Nanxi, and only shrank behind Deng Jiaxiang.

The tears that Nanxi had just wiped away fell again at this moment. She said, "Forget it, don't be embarrassed for her." Dr. Zhou talked to me just now, and I thought it was my responsibility to take care of Xiaohe, but when I heard Dr. Zhou say that, I took her home as if I had hurt her. In that case, then you have to worry about it, I thank you. ”

Deng Jiaxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Xiaohe is here with me, I promise that she eats well and sleeps well, I know what you are worried about, I have already told the nanny and aunt, without my consent, no matter who knocks on the door, you are not allowed to open the door." ”

"I" Nanxi wanted to say something, moved her lips, but didn't say it in the end.

She walked over and took Nanhe's hand: "Xiaohe, sister is useless, I can't help you, I can only put you here, but my sister will often come to visit you, if you are not used to living, my sister will take you home at any time, okay?" ”

Nanhe suddenly looked up at Nanxi's face and blinked.

This can be regarded as a response, Nanxi shook her sister's hand happily: "Good sister" and then tears dripped down.

I was trying to pick up my sister, but I didn't expect that I couldn't take people home in the end.

Seeing Nanxi's sad appearance, Lu Zaiyuan put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, didn't Dr. Zhou say it?" Xiaohe is recovering, when she is well, we will take her home immediatelyNow, should we go and visit Mrs. Pei? She provided Xiaohe with such a good place to live, and also sent someone to take care of Xiaohe's life, so it is reasonable that we should all be grateful. ”

"Yes." After reminding her from afar, Nan Xi remembered this incident, "I don't know if Mrs. Pei is not at home, I will go to the front and thank her personally."

"Don't go ahead, I'm here." As he spoke, the wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Zhao Xinyao walked in from outside the door, "I heard Uncle Qing say that you are here, so come and take a look, this place has been vacant for too long, Xiaohe is in a hurry, and it is too late to decorate it well, it is very shabby, don't blame me for neglecting Xiaohe." ”

"How so?" Nanxi hurriedly greeted him and bowed in thanks, "This place is much better than our family, because of my sister's affairs, I have caused you so much trouble, I feel that I have no face to see you." ”

"It's nothing, you don't have to be so polite, it doesn't matter how many more people we have in our family, I just want to calm things down." Zhao Xinyao walked to Xiaohe's side, stretched out her hand and picked her braids, and when she saw her timidly shrinking behind Deng Jiaxiang, she frowned, "This child is also quite pitiful, he looks so beautiful, but he has this disease." ”

"Madame was generous and we were very grateful. But there are some things that we don't want to go too far, Xiaohe lives here, it has already added a lot of trouble, her living expenses, there is no reason for your family to bear it, I will write a check to Uncle Qing, as Xiaohe's living expenses here. Lu Zaiyuan stood up and spoke.

When Nanxi heard him say this, he remembered this matter and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, it must be like this." ”

Zhao Xinyao smiled, walked in front of Lu Zaiyuan, and looked up at him: "Zaiyuan is thoughtful, I know that you are not short of money, but our family is not short of money." So the cost of life or something, forget it, a few days ago I asked Ben to help me take a series of photos of my home, but I can't contact him today, where did he go? ”

Lu Zaiyuan sneered in his heart: I knew that you didn't come to see us, sure enough, you have a purpose!

"I had some disputes with him, and he went back to England in a fit of rage." Lu Zaiyuan explained to her the reason for Ben's sudden disappearance, and he didn't forget to shake his head angrily.

Zhao Xinyao's face changed instantly, and then she regained her calm and noble expression, and asked with concern, "Aren't you best friends?" What's the point of a good friend arguing a few words? As for him off? ”

"Ben has a stubborn temper and doesn't allow anyone to disagree with his creative style. Yesterday I said a few words to him, he left early this morning, when he was about to get on the plane, his assistant called me, I can't chase it too late, alas, let him go, it's difficult for him to cooperate. Lu Zaiyuan sighed regretfully.

Zhao Xinyao clasped her hands together, subconsciously twisted her fingers, but her face was still smiling: "Last time he came to my house to do an interview and shoot for me, I have seen his work seriously, I really like his style, do you have his contact information in the UK?" There was a women's magazine that wanted to publish my interview, and they took pictures of me and asked me to choose two, I didn't know how to choose, and I wanted to hear the opinions of professionals. ”

What an excuse to screw!

However, Lu Zaiyuan just smiled, asked Deng Jiaxiang for paper and pen, and wrote down an email address: "This is his personal mailbox, that guy's whereabouts are uncertain, and I'm not sure where he will be, you can send an email to ask." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Xinyao took the small note, turned around and waved her hand at Nanxi, "Don't worry, your sister will be safe here." ”

With that, she walked out of the courtyard and left.

Nanxi sat here for a while, but it was actually useless, because Nanhe didn't pay attention to her and only cared about painting. She just didn't want to leave, and she always felt that it was her sin to leave her sister here.

When it was almost noon, Lu Zaiyuan saw that she was still sitting there, not speaking, and had no intention of leaving. He stepped forward to help her up: "Let's go home, you have just been discharged from the hospital, you have to rest well, and you can't blow the wind outside for too long." ”

Nanxi also knew that staying here would have no other effect than to comfort herself.

I had all the helplessness in my heart, so I had to stand up, follow Lu Zaiyuan out of this small courtyard, and drove away from the Pei family's villa.

On the way down the mountain, Nanxi closed his eyes, leaned his head against the car window, and didn't say a word. Lu Zaiyuan knew that she was not in a good mood, and he didn't bother her.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Nanxi suddenly opened his eyes and said to Lu Zaiyuan: "I want to visit my parents." ”

Lu Zaiyuan was stunned for a moment: "Now?" ”

"Now." Nanxi nodded.

Lu Zaiyuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's too sudden, the first time I went to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I was still nervous." ”

He felt that Nanxi's mood was too heavy, and he wanted to make a joke to make her happy. She didn't react to his joke, told him the address of her parents' grave, leaned back and closed her eyes again.

Lu Zaiyuan didn't know how to persuade her, so he drove silently in the direction of the Wanshouyuan cemetery.

When he got to the bottom of the mountain, he got out of the car and bought a bouquet of chrysanthemums, got back into the car, and drove up the mountain.

After parking the car, they went into the cemetery.

Passing through the rows of tombstones, I finally arrived at the graves of Nanxi's parents. Lu Zai looked at the tombstone from afar, two black and white photos were pasted side by side on the tombstone, the man was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and square face, very handsome, and the woman had bright eyes and bright teeth, and her face was beautiful, very temperamental.

This is the first time Lu Zaiyuan has seen a photo of Nan's parents, because he is afraid of irritating Nanhe, Nanxi does not place the portrait of his parents anywhere in the house.

It turned out that Nanxi looked like her mother, Lu Zaiyuan thought quietly in his heart.

Lu Zaiyuan placed the bouquet on the tombstone and bowed respectfully three times.

Nanxi sat down directly and sat on the steps in front of the tombstone. She rolled up her sleeves and wiped the portrait of her parents, and said, "Dad, Mom, I haven't been here for a long time, you don't blame me, do you?" I'm not that busy, I just don't have the face to come to see you, I don't know what I can say when I see you."

"There's been so much going on lately, one by one, I'm overwhelmed. Which one is better first? Let's talk about the man who came with me today, what do you think of him? He's my husband."

As soon as she said this, Lu Zaiyuan felt a gust of wind blowing in her ears, and it was cold. Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the statues of Nan's parents, and he didn't really believe in ghosts and gods. But somehow, at this moment, he felt that the eyes of the Nan family's parents were staring at him, which made him can't help but feel a thrill.

"You must ask, how is this person? What about Deng Jiaxiang? I tell you that Deng Jiaxiang has married someone else, so don't worry about him. This person's name is Lu Zaiyuan, I was in a hurry when I married him, so I didn't come to tell you that he didn't look very good, but in fact, he got along very well, so you just have to rest assured, I usually bully him, and I have never been bullied by him."

Lu Zaiyuan lowered his head, not daring to look at the portraits of the Nan family's parents.

Nanxi beckoned to him: "Don't stand stupidly, you should say hello." ”

Lu Zaiyuan thought about it, knelt down on his knees in front of the tombstone of the Peng family's parents, and said: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I've been married for almost half a year, and I came to visit you, I will take care of Xiaoxi and Xiaohe, don't worry." ”

Then, he didn't know what else to say.

Nan Xi glanced at him and continued to wipe his parents' tombstones: "He usually speaks quite neatly, today may be because he is nervous and clumsy, don't blame him I came today, in addition to bringing him to see you, there is another important thing"

Speaking of this, Nanxi's eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for you, I didn't take good care of Xiaohe The last time I took her to see you, she was fine, I still boasted to you proudly, look at how well I took care of Xiaohe, she went to college, but now it's now"

Before he finished speaking, Nanxi's tears poured out, his lips trembled so much, he couldn't talk anymore.

She threw herself on her parents' tombstones and cried loudly.
