Shao Yuanguang took the elevator down to the ground floor and happened to meet Bai Shutong after completing the hospitalization procedures.

She held a stack of vouchers in her hand, looked down as she walked, and looked at them one by one, but she couldn't get the essentials for a long time.

Shao Yuanguang walked over to stop her and asked her, "Have the formalities been completed?" ”

bumped into Shao Yuanguang, and Bai Shutong raised his head. She nodded at Shao Yuanguang and said, "Okay." ”

Her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was pink, as if she had just wiped her tears. Shao Yuanguang frowned when he looked at it, and before he could say anything to comfort her, she asked again: "The doctor originally said that there were only six people, but later he arranged a high-level cadre ward...... Bai Shutong looked at him, "Teacher Shao, are you helping me?" ”

Shao Yuanguang looked at her and wrote lightly: "I just happen to know someone." ”

Bai Shutong also knew that the hospital beds were not easy to come by, and they were far from being as easy as Shao Yuanguang said. Bai Shutong felt a little guilty when he thought about it, Shao Yuanguang had never asked for help, but he didn't expect to owe a favor for her business.

"Thank you." Bai Shutong lowered her head as she spoke, compared to Shao Yuanguang's help, her thanks seemed light, if it wasn't for Shao Yuanguang by her side today, she didn't know how to survive this difficulty.

Bai Shutong's voice was a little choked, Shao Yuanguang couldn't bear to hear it, and said casually: "Little things, don't think about it." As he spoke, he reached out and tapped her on the shoulder, "I'll go up with you." ”

Bai Shutong nodded, took the slip and walked to the ward, Shao Yuanguang walked beside her with his pocket.

It's strange to say, according to Shao Yuanguang's original temperament, most of these things don't want to care, but looking at it at this time, he is a little relieved that Bai Shutong can't think about it, so he follows after thinking about it.

The two walked to the elevator room, and after a few steps, Bai Shutong suddenly stopped, staring at the window in front of him in a daze. She didn't know what she saw, her body froze, her hand loosened, and the slips fluttered all over the ground.

Seeing this, Shao Yuanguang hurriedly bent down to help her pick up the slip, and when he looked up, he saw a man and a woman in front of him.

The old husband and young wife of the man and the woman are obviously snuggling and hugging each other, and the man is in his fifties, hugging the woman and coaxing her softly. The woman was very young in comparison, less than thirty, and she bowed her head and wiped her tears in his arms.

Shao Yuanguang's eyebrows furrowed, feeling that this woman looked familiar, and only after thinking about it for a while did he remember that this woman was the young mother who had just called while waiting for the elevator.

Before Shao Yuanguang could sort out his thoughts, he heard Bai Shutong murmuring in his ear: "Dad......"

This sound made Shao Yuanguang suddenly nervous, remembering the conversation he had just heard, and glanced at Bai Shutong in surprise.

Bai Shutong saw that Bai Chongde and Fang Xian were obviously excited, she secretly gritted her teeth, her eyebrows frowned, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

When she just called Bai Chongde, he kept saying that he couldn't come back from abroad, and he ignored his grandfather's illness. But now? He actually hugged Fang Xian in the hospital. Since you have already come to the hospital, why don't you want to go up to see your grandfather!

Bai Shutong sniffed, trying to calm the anger in his heart, thinking that he was about to step forward and question Bai Chongde.

She had just taken a step, and before she could get in front of the two, she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, and then she was dragged into the stairwell with her arms and arms.

Shao Yuanguang discovered Bai Shutong's motives, and his first reaction was to stop her. He still remembered the unwilling tone of the young mother in the stairwell, he didn't have time to think too much, he just thought about taking Bai Shutong away from the young mother's face.

The evening sun had sunk a little more, the sky was a little darker, and the stairwell was darker than before. In the dark, Shao Yuanguang couldn't see Bai Shutong's face clearly, only heard her rapid gasp, and faintly felt her slightly trembling shoulders in his arms.

"Xiaobai, calm down." Shao Yuanguang didn't let go, still imprisoning her shoulders, as if he was afraid that she would rush out of the door and return to that place, be humiliated by that woman in person, and be forced to accept Bai Chongde's helpless choice.

Although Shao Yuanguang didn't know Bai Chongde, he knew that he was old and the first boy, and partiality was inevitable. Bai Shutong is angry, if it is-for-tat, she does not have the slightest advantage.

Listening to Shao Yuanguang's words, Bai Shutong's breath paused, and he tried his best to adjust his breathing, but in the end he still failed. After several struggles, her breath became more and more unstable, and her body couldn't help trembling, as if she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.

Through the faint light, Shao Yuanguang glanced down at Bai Shutong. Her face turned pale, and she bit her lip hard, trying not to let herself cry, but even so, her face was full of tears.

She held back her tears and pretended to be strong, which made Shao Yuanguang's heart twitch when she looked at it. She listened to him, but he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

Shao Yuanguang exhaled slowly, let go of Bai Shutong's shoulder, patted her back, and said in a low voice: "Xiaobai, don't bear it, cry if you want to, there is no one else here." ”

Listening to Shao Yuanguang's words, Bai Shutong's defense line collapsed instantly, and the fear and fear that had just been suppressed, as well as the grief of being deceived by Bai Chongde, were intertwined and exploded in an instant. She buried her face in Shao Yuanguang's arms and cried loudly.

Her crying was muffled, because it was buried deep in his chest, and she could not breathe several times, and her body could not hold back and tremble in his arms.

Shao Yuanguang didn't say a word, let her cry, just patted her back to help her calm down.

Some people should be strong, and some people shouldn't. At least in Shao Yuanguang's eyes, Bai Shutong should belong to the latter, she should always have a heartless smile on her face, and she feels satisfied every day because of some trivial things, and laughs stupidly.

Shao Yuanguang thought about it, and his arm tightened Bai Shutong a little. His voice remembers in her ear, and he whispers to her: "Cry out all the things you are not happy about." ”

Bai Shutong's breath was not smooth, and he did not respond, but responded with a stronger cry. She drilled into Shao Yuanguang's arms again, her arm involuntarily wrapped around Shao Yuanguang's waist, her fingers exerted force, grabbed the shirt around his waist, grabbed it tightly, and did not let go.

Feeling the power in his waist, Shao Yuanguang's back couldn't help but straighten up, he hesitated slightly, patted Bai Shutong's back hand in the air for a moment, couldn't help but turn around, and stroked her hair-

After crying for a long time, Bai Shutong's tears were almost dry, and her voice was hoarse, she gradually retracted her voice and left Shao Yuanguang's arms with some reluctance.

"Crying?" Shao Yuanguang let go of her and looked at her face.

She sniffed and nodded.

Although the crying stopped, Bai Shutong's eyes were slightly swollen, the tip of his nose had become red, and there were still undried tears on his face. Shao Yuanguang took out a handkerchief from his pocket and raised it to Bai Shutong's eyes, wanting to help her wipe her tears.

Before the handkerchief touched Bai Shutong's face, her body suddenly stepped back. As soon as she retreated, Shao Yuanguang stopped what he was doing and handed the handkerchief to hers.

"Wipe it off."

Bai Shutong replied with a "hmm" and reached out to take the handkerchief.

Letting go of Shao Yuanguang's embrace, Bai Shutong realized the ambiguous posture of the two just now. The intimate hug and Shao Yuanguang's broad chest made Bai Shutong a little shy, and he couldn't help but be afraid to have physical contact with him again.

She symbolically wiped the corner of her eye with his handkerchief and gave it back to him.

Her fingertips pinched the corner of her handkerchief shallowly, and her hand reached forward, but she leaned back slightly. Shao Yuanguang looked at her alienated appearance, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, reached out and took the handkerchief and put it back in his trouser pocket.

There was a sudden silence in the hallway, there were no gentle whispers, no wails of grief, and there was a kind of embarrassment after impulse.

In the dark, Bai Shutong lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed upstairs, and said, "I'll go up first, grandma is still waiting for me." ”

She said, without waiting for Shao Yuanguang to speak, she turned around and stumbled upstairs.
