Ye Ning saw that at the end, tears had already fallen on the letterhead, blurring the handwriting of Long Feifeng Dance.

A hoarse cry came from her throat, but she reached out her fist and covered her mouth.

Maybe she had never looked at that Xiao Yue seriously, so that she didn't know what kind of person Xiao Yue was. At the beginning, she felt that Xiao Yue was a deep and terrifying person, manipulating her behind her back. Later, through the interview report on the Internet, she gradually felt that part of her life overlapped with Xiao Yue, and he was also flesh and blood, no longer the condescending hand of God, but now that she read this letter, she could only see a wandering and depressed teenager, a teenager who was imprisoned in a cage and could not get out, sensitive to the point of even having some inferiority, and a delicate teenager.

She trembled her hands, took out her mobile phone, and went to call Sister Chen and Xiaoruo, but after dialing out, only one sentence of the phone you dialed could not be connected.

Ye Ning remembered something, threw himself in front of the computer, turned on the computer, and clicked "Yue Ning Group, Xiao Yue" on the Internet with a trembling hand to search, but the news that came out was overwhelming, and it turned out that Xiao Yue was seriously ill, and the operation failed at 18 o'clock this afternoon and died.

The operation failed and she died, and these eight big characters were like a bayonet inserted into her heart.

She took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and came to her son Nan Nan's room.

Nan Nan slept well, and was suddenly woken up, and in the dark, he saw his mother's strange expression.

He quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes: "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Ning shook Nan Nan's hand, suppressed the tremor in his throat, and said as calmly as possible: "Nan Nan, do you remember that uncle who saw you before, is it okay for your mother to take you to see him?" ”

Nan Nan is more than six years old and sensible, he looked at his mother in a daze and nodded.

He didn't know what was going on, but he obviously understood that his mother was very special at this time, and there must be something big.

He didn't ask, and quickly got up and took his little coat to put on.

Ye Ning quickly helped his son get dressed, then took the key and took him to the underground garage, and after taking the car, he went to the 302 Hospital, running wildly all the way, I don't know how many red lights he ran through.

But now she didn't care about Yiqiē, she just wanted to see Xiao Yue, the man she had never really looked at.

After arriving at the 302 Hospital, I saw that the lights of the hospital were dimly lit at night, and there were some guarded taxis around, and a few figures who hurriedly entered and exited.

Ye Ning parked the car, held Nan Nan's hand and walked inside.

In the dark, she felt Nan Nan's soft little hands tense nervously. A child is sensitive and must be aware of something.

She softened her voice and comforted, "It's okay, Mom just showed you a friend." ”

After racing all the way, now her heart that was beating wildly has calmed down.

In fact, from the time she found the signature note in the closet to the present, she has not had a moment more peaceful than now.

After walking into the hospital, she went straight to the front desk, asked for the address of the oncology department, and went directly, but when she got there, she inquired about the nurse at the front desk, and the nurse just looked at her with indifferent eyes: "We have rules that we can't ask about patients at will." If you want to visit a patient, please contact the patient's family. ”

Ye Ning looked at her steadily: "I want to know, is that patient named Xiao Yue still in the hospital?" If not, I'll leave immediately, okay? ”

The nurse shook her head, "No." ”

Where could Ye Ning give up so lightly: "I'm his friend and I want to see him, I heard that he failed the operation and is gone?" ”

The nurse sighed, it was not easy to be on duty in the middle of the night, but when she met such an entangled person, she glanced at Ye Ning and said directly: "You can contact the patient's family directly, so that you can get the exact news." As for what you asked, we have nothing to say. ”

Just as he was talking, a man came from the passage of the ward next to him, Ye Ning glanced at the man and felt that he seemed a little familiar, but face blindness was face blindness, and she didn't know where she had seen it.

The man was wearing a gold-rimmed glasses, looking at Sven, his eyes were a little red, he glanced at Ye Ning, and his voice was a little hoarse and heavy: "This young lady is looking for Xiao Yue?" ”

Ye Ning realized something, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." Are you Xiao Yue's friend? ”

The man's scrutinizing gaze swept over Nan Nan who was holding in Ye Ning's hand, but there was defensiveness in his eyes: "May I ask if Miss is looking for Xiao Yue for something?" ”

Ye Ning looked at the man: "I'm his friend and want to see him." ”

A sneer curled up on the man's lips, and the words he said were even more unceremoniously: "I'm sorry, I know all Xiao Yue's friends, but I don't know you." ”

Ye Ning said calmly: "I am Xiao Yue's alumnus, an alumnus of middle school, even if Mr. Xiao Yue is a friend, he may not recognize all his alumni classmates. ”

There was a sharp mockery in the man's eyes: "Okay, Xiao Yue's alumnus, may I ask what you are looking for him?" ”

"I just wanted to see him."

The man raised his eyebrows: "Isn't there news outside, why are you still coming to investigate?" Isn't he dead already? ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Ning's throat suddenly seemed to be choked.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down and looked up at the tall, thin, quiet man.

"He's really gone?"

The man's voice was cold: "Yes." ”

Ye Ning was silent for a while, didn't speak again, looked down at his son, and turned to leave the hospital.

On the way back, Ye Ning didn't speak, just drove silently, Nan Nan was in the back seat, looking up at her mother.

Ye Ning smiled hard: "Nan Nan, go back and continue to sleep." ”

Nan Nan locked her little brows, pursed her small mouth, and quietly looked sideways at her mother: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”

He felt that his mother was more sad than she had ever been, and although she was still smiling, that smile was very different from usual.

Ye Ning looked straight at the road ahead, with street lamps on both sides and a long passage in the middle.

This passage is still very long.

Nan Nan is still young, and he has a long way to go.

Ye Ning lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "It's nothing, that friend has passed away, maybe we won't see him anymore." But in fact, it's not a big deal, birth, old age, sickness and death, the norm in the world. ”

The last eight words, she has worked so hard to tell herself since more than ten years ago, and now she gives these eight words to her son.

But when she had said this, her eyes were hot, and she felt a moist liquid running through her cheeks.

Nan Nan sat in the back row in a daze and didn't say anything more.

He was still very young and didn't know what death meant, but he knew that he would never see the uncle again, the one who would look at him with loving eyes.

This night, Ye Ning first coaxed Nan Nan to lie down and sleep, a child, who is also a child when he has something on his mind, and slowly fell asleep after lying down for more than an hour.

Ye Ning's eyes were open, and the words in the letter kept coming to his mind.

When she woke up the next day, she got up and searched for news about Xiao Yue again, only to see mourning voices on Weibo and in various places. Xiao Yue is good-looking, stylish, dressed in a navy blue suit, although his expression is strict, but sometimes he will say a little cold humor, and he is a diamond king, single, Internet upstart, so rich and successful, so he has a lot of fans on the Internet.

All kinds of mourning, sighs, and even the cries of fans came to their faces at once, and their eyes were all over the place.

At the same time, the news related to it is that the share price of Yuening Group has plummeted, and it has fallen by three percentage points at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Ye Ning looked at this qiē blankly, couldn't help but take out the letter, and read it again from beginning to end, the letter of more than 10,000 words, judging from the handwriting, was actually written in several times, and a few words were obviously written in the end.

He was sick, seriously ill, but he still wrote the letter word by word with a pen.

In fact, she remembered this person, and always remembered it, even if it was vague.

If he is an unforgettable straight line in his life, then he is actually a dotted line in his own life.

Ye Ning took a day off, didn't go to work, and after sending Nan Nan to kindergarten, she just sat there all the time, and continued to watch Xiao Yue's various video materials on the Internet.

When I saw that video, Xiao Yue said, people don't care about me at all, and after I said it for a while, I was despised by others, probably thinking that I was a flawed product, and I couldn't look down on it, so I passed it directly.

She couldn't stop crying.

In fact, she has really rarely cried over the years, since her mother died, the last time she cried was Huo Chen's thing, but now, she doesn't know how many tears she shed after a night's work, and she can't control it.

She also saw that the shares of Yue Ning Group continued to fall, and it really fell to a limit, and this group that had risen rapidly on the Internet, after the death of its helm, was in a storm, as if it was mourning its founder in its way.

When Nan Nan was picked up in the afternoon, Nan Nan's eyes seemed to be a little red, and he didn't say anything when he asked him.

Usually, Ye Ning is actually very concerned about the baby's mind, but now she is really a little too much to take care of, exhausted, and she can't afford to do anything.

On that day, both mother and son ate a little listlessly and slept separately.

The next day, she went to work like a walking corpse, Sheng Changsheng was also startled when he saw her like this, and asked cautiously: "If you are not in good health, will you rest for a few more days?" ”

Ye Ning shook his head: "I'm fine." ”

Sheng Changsheng had no choice, he had been a friend for many years, so he specially called her over to eat together at noon, and asked tentatively, but later saw that Ye Ning didn't say anything, so he could only sigh: "If there is anything, mention it to me directly." ”

When Ke Bing was about to get off work, there were too many things recently, Ke Bing originally said that he was going to come over to accompany Nan Nan, but then there was no follow-up. Now he took the time to come over on the weekend and make an appointment.

Ye Ning didn't have the heart to deal with him before, but he was grateful to him before, and he thought that he had hired a lawyer to help him, and he admitted it himself, but now that he thinks about the past, he feels disgusted for no reason, and directly refuses.

Ke Bing didn't hear what it meant, and said that he must come over to accompany Nan Nan.

If usually, Ye Ning could handle it, but now, she was really discouraged, and she didn't even have the mind to deal with it, she felt extremely boring, so she hung up the phone directly.

When he went back that night, Ye Ning took care of Nan Nan and slept. Poor boy, he used to talk a lot, but these days he may have scared him, and he doesn't talk much. Ye Ning looked at his quiet little face, and inevitably felt guilty, in fact, she had tried her best to hope that her love would not affect the child, but this poor child, his father was no longer alive, and she didn't know how to sue him.

He's still so young.

He lowered his head and kissed his face gently, the little face was a little cold, very tender and smooth.

After tiptoeing out of Nan Nan's room, she came to her bedroom, took the computer, opened it, and habitually wanted to see the news about Xiao Yue again.

But as soon as she opened it, she found that there was another frying pan on the Internet.

The major news and the headlines on the front page of the big red font said that Xiao Yue's death was fake news and a rumor from the unscrupulous media, but in fact, although Xiao Yue's operation failed, he did not die, but was directly sent to a medical institution in the United States for further treatment.

Ye Ning clutched the mouse tightly and tried hard to search for the source of this news on the Internet, but her palms were sweaty, but she didn't have any detailed explanation about this matter.

In the end, it was Yue Ning's vice president, a man named Shen Congrui, who came out to speak, and his speech was only one sentence, Xiao Yue was being treated.

I don't know how many news media reporters rushed over to get first-hand information, but unfortunately this Shen Congrui disappeared quickly, and there was not a word of superfluous words.

All of a sudden, the share price of Yuening Group soared, rose sharply, and it was fierce, not only pulling back what had fallen back before, but also hitting a new high. Industry insiders expressed their thoughts one by one, some said that this was a hype, some said that it was an unscrupulous media to win attention for the sake of news, and some said that the people of Yue Ning Group were about to sue the unscrupulous media.

Ye Ning stared at the image of the vice president of Yue Ning Group, magnified him, and after looking at it for a long time, she finally recognized the pair of gold-wire glasses.

This is the pair of glasses she saw in the hospital, and the person who wore them at that time told herself that Xiao Yue was dead.

Now he says he's not dead, and he's saying it in public.

At this time, Ye Ning also remembered that Xiao Yue had said that he had written a letter to Shen Congrui, saying that he could ask him for help if he had anything.

Ye Ning jumped up suddenly, she didn't know how to contact Shen Congrui, so she searched the Internet for the vice president's email and phone number, she bombarded the phone and emailed him, but the phone was always busy, and no one replied to the email at all.

She didn't give up and began to call Yue Ning Group's phone, but when she called, there was only a polite voice from the front desk, and she asked to transfer Shen Congrui, and the other party was obviously very guarded.

In fact, Ye Ning also understands in his heart that he doesn't know how many media want to find Shen Congrui now, and if he has no way, it will be difficult to see him.

After thinking about it, she found out the phone numbers of all the friends she knew before, called them one by one, and asked them one by one, asking them if they knew the information of Yue Ning Group, whether they knew Shen Congrui, and whether they knew Xiao Yue's current situation.

It's a pity that in the end, the interlacing is like a mountain, and the people she knows can't reach that height, and no one knows Shen Congrui, after playing around like this, a friend finally learned through the roundabout relationship that Xiao Yue was really alive and was treated in a medical institution in the United States, and gave the name of that medical institution.

When Ye Ning got that name, his heart beat wildly.

She didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Yue, she didn't know what Xiao Yue was sick now, but he was still alive, as long as he was alive, there was a glimmer of hope.

She wants to see Xiao Yue, and she wants to see him in person.

As for what to say or do when she saw him, she didn't know, but she just wanted to see Xiao Yue, even if she looked at him seriously.

She was eager to go, but Nan Nan didn't have a visa, although she wanted to take Nan Nan over, she couldn't wait, so she could only entrust Nan Nan to a friend to take care of.

Quickly bought a ticket for the nearest flight, and she was going to the United States. Before parting, looking at Nan Nan's puzzled gaze, she didn't explain much, just patted his head: I'll go find your father.

When Nan Nan heard this, her eyes suddenly burst out with a different kind of brilliance.

High in the air, she leaned on the plane seat, and the brilliance in Nan Nan's eyes kept coming to her mind.

All of a sudden, she cried again.

She doesn't know what's wrong with her, and she's always been in tears lately.

In fact, how much Nan Nan longs for a father in his heart, he just never brought it up, he is so young, but he is already very sensible, and he is sensible and unwilling to make himself unhappy.

The plane arrived in New York, USA, and then transferred to the place where the medical institution was located, and after getting off the plane, she went directly to the car rental park, which is not as developed as domestic buses and taxis, and she needs to rent a car.

It's already eleven o'clock in the evening in the United States, the lights are on in the rental car, the United States is already sparsely populated, at this time, there is not even a ghost, and the car rental company Hertz is lonely and cold under the lights of the fiasco.

She rented a Camry and a navigator, drove the car all the way to the institute.

When she got there, she actually understood that she was impulsive.

In the middle of the night, the first qiē here is very quiet, not even a dog barks, the red wooden house is hidden among the green trees, and the CLINIC sign is almost unreal.

Running all the way, and the discomfort caused by jet lag, she closed her eyes tiredly, pressed her temples, and at this moment her mind was in chaos, she sat in the car, and simply let herself rest for a while.

When she woke up again, it was already morning, and she drove around the neighborhood and bought bread and water at a small shop next to a gas station.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that she came to the place, and although it was sparsely populated, there were a few people coming in and out, and they stopped the car and walked in.

Ye Ning came to the front desk and explained his meaning in fluent English.

After the snow-white-skinned front desk lady listened to her finish with a smile, her reply was naturally refusal.

Ye Ning had already expected it, but still insisted on finishing his request: "I didn't want to see him, I just wanted to know, is there a Chinese patient living here, is it okay?" ”

The front desk lady shook her head apologetically and said Sorry, still politely refusing.

She nodded, not demanding anything more.

However, she thought that since Xiao Yue lived here, there would always be clues, and she could always wait a few days.

So she found a hotel called stayin nearby, stayed there, and ran over to squat every day, always keeping an eye on the people who came in and out of the clinic.

Xiao Yue is the president of Yue Ning Group, and when he lives in this place, there will definitely be his friends or subordinates around him to take care of him, and it is impossible for those people to live in this hospital, so they must also live nearby, and they may also drive over to visit Xiao Yue.

It's a pity that after she squatted for a few days, there were still no clues, even if she occasionally saw a Chinese, she hurried over to ask, and people looked at her with strange eyes. When asked about Xiao Yue, people didn't know anything.

She was carrying a laptop with her, so she began to check all kinds of news about Xiao Yue on the Internet, always paying attention, and trying to continue to send emails to that Shen Congrui, but the mailbox seemed to be dead, and there was no response.

She also tried to call Sister Chen and Xiao Ruo, but this time she finally got through, and when they knew that Ye Ning wanted Xiao Yue's phone number, they were taken aback.

Xiao Ruo was just that, Sister Chen almost cried: "Mr. Xiao is really not easy, he has always called me over to ask you about your various situations over the years, when you are tired from work, he is worried about you, he gave me a lot of money, let me take good care of you." I said why don't you ask it yourself, he didn't speak, and I looked at him and didn't dare to appear in front of you at all. ”

Facing Sister Chen, who was in tears, Ye Ning seemed very calm: "Give me Xiao Yue's phone number, and give me all the contact information." ”

But Sister Chen only had Xiao Yue's mobile phone number, so she gave it to Ye Ning.

Ye Ning called Mr. Sun again, who sold his house, and only collected this mobile phone number from him.

After getting this mobile phone number, Ye Ning stared at it for a long time, and this number ended up with three nine characters, which was very special. After she looked at it for a while, she suddenly felt that it seemed as if she had received a text message from this person a long time ago, this phone number, and had greeted her at a very inexplicable time, but she thought it was someone else's mistake, so she deleted it directly.

It turned out that this was Xiao Yue's phone number.

She couldn't imagine what kind of courage and anticipation he had sent a text message to herself.

After staring at the phone number for a long time, she finally took a deep breath and dialed the phone.

On the other end of the phone, there was a boring music, so boring that there was no melody, and the boring ringtone kept ringing, ringing, ringing for a long time, but no one answered.

Finally, it turned into a busy tone and hung up.

Ye Ning stood under the big tree outside the hospital, looking at the slowly rising sun.

The air in the United States is much better than in China, every qiē here is fresh and beautiful, there is an American woman in a sportswear running on the road, and I saw Ye Ning standing there blankly, smiling and smiling "Hi" in a friendly way.

What a beautiful morning, she squatted there alone, hugging her arms, and suddenly felt a chill.

At this moment, she remembered the Xiao Yue who was interviewed on the show and talked about getting a U.S. visa after being denied a visa twice.

At that time, after nineteen hours of flight, he wandered near his residence, what was it like?

Ye Ning squatted there silently, looking at the American ants struggling to crawl by the side of the road, holding his mobile phone tightly, continuing to stare at the door of the hospital, and dialing the phone number belonging to Xiao Yue over and over again.
