Chapter 10 Heartbeat Rent
April 30, the last day of April. Shui Yin was walking home alone in time for the sunset, and just this morning, she saw her father and mother, who she missed day and night.
It's still the same hospital as it was three years ago, with the old poplar tree at the door and the Red Cross on the main building...... Oh, by the way, the third glass window from the right on the sixth floor of the hospital can't be opened, and I don't know if the rusty window lock has been replaced.
Shui Yin stood still in front of the hospital gate for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and pulled her hair down. She has to adjust her condition and go to her relatives in the best possible way.
This time, the ward was located on the fifth floor, the penultimate room on the far left.
Shui Yin knocked lightly on the door and pushed it open, a stream of warm and soft sunlight hitting her face. Shui Yin saw the two familiar figures against the angle of the sunlight. "Daddy, my daughter has come to see you." Shuiyin's mother's voice has not been replaced by the ravages of time, it is still so crisp. The sound of water was full of smiles, and the concern of a month no longer seemed heavy. Shui Yin took the washed fruits out of the crisper bag one by one and placed them in the fruit bowl on the bedside table.
A family of three got together, as if they had endless words. In the midst of laughter, I noticed a few strands of gray hair on my mother's head, like a flaw on black silk, which was worrying. So I told my parents about my life in the past month, of course, there are true and false. She could see that a stone in her mother's heart had fallen to the ground.
Shui Yin did not ask to leave until about 4 p.m., and Shui Yin's father asked the child's mother to deliver his daughter on his behalf, so the mother and daughter left the ward with a smile on their faces.
There was only one door inside and outside the ward, a door painted with white paint and nailed with iron handles.
In the rest room on the second floor of the hospital, the mother and daughter stopped in unison. There were very few people, no loud conversation, no laughter, not even the warmth of the sun. Shuiyin's mother opened her mouth first, and her voice was no longer so crisp, but made people feel a little tired. "The doctor at the hospital came to talk to me, and the leg muscles on duty began to necrosis, and if the operation could not be performed within two months, the leg would have to be amputated." Shui Yin's heart trembled after hearing this, and she took out an envelope from her handbag, the mouth of which had been glued tightly. She hesitated, opened the seal, took out four hundred yuan from her handbag, and put it in the envelope. She handed the envelope to her mother and said with a little choked up, "This is the money I saved from my part-time job this month, so let's buy some nutritional products for my father." How much does the hospital say the surgery costs? Shui Yin has mixed feelings in his heart.
Shuiyin's mother shook her head lowly and did not reply.
"I'll do my best to raise money, take care of my father and myself, and I'll come back to see you when I have time." Mizune noticed her mother's expression of despair. Mizune smiled and said as if nothing had happened. "Shui Yin...... Shui Yin's mother hugged her daughter, "I have wronged you." ”
Shui Yin gently patted her mother's back, and it seemed that the roles of the two had been reversed. "Wait for my good news." Shui Yin told himself that he had to go, and if he didn't leave, he would probably never dare to go out. Shui Yin walked out of the hospital, stopped again, took a deep breath, and pulled his hair.
Instead of going straight home, she took a detour past her original home.
Mizune stood right in front of the house, her eyes unblinking, looking at something. The house is already owned by a real estate company and is waiting for its new owner. Looking in from the iron gate, the green newspaper box has been removed, yes, it has been used for more than ten years, and it is time to retire; The wind chimes hanging from the door were gone, yes, or no one would have heard them; The skin of the surface of the house is also cracked, yes, no one will maintain it on a regular basis; The chimney will never spit out the smell of chicken soup again, yes, by the end of the year it will be covered with snow again......
Shui Yin looked at the dead house and realized the true meaning of things and people. She suddenly felt that she didn't fit here, and that she had lost something here.
She sighed softly, "Let's go back." She muttered to herself.
Shui Yin was walking home alone in time for the sunset, and what worries her the most now is this month's rent.
Mizune returns home and sees Ha Natsu churning through the clutter beneath the stairs. Shui Yin just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Yu Xia. "Coming back?" Yuxia stopped and looked at Shui Yin standing in the doorway. Shui Yin didn't notice that her face was not right, because she didn't get into the habit of adjusting her state in front of this house. "Hmm......" Shui Yin was worried about Yu Xia mentioning the rent, and went back to the room in three steps and two steps. Yu Xia looked at the closed door, a smile appeared on her face, and she continued to get busy.
The sun was setting, and the last day of April was still six hours away. Shui Yin stayed in the house and didn't come out, she leaned back on the bed, thinking about what happened today. The 400 yuan was intended to be used to pay the rent, but under the circumstances, Shui Yin had to give her mother a little more hope.
Yu Xia cooks the meals in the kitchen and serves them one by one, and today's recipe is braised pork and mushroom egg drop soup. Shui Yin was curled up on the bed at this moment, allowing all kinds of impossible imaginations to shuttle through his mind. She clasped her hands on her head, her fingers kept curling the glazed blue hair, and the long silky hair became a little messy. "Could it be...... Is it okay to pretend to be stupid and run away like this......" Shui Yin muttered to himself, "I swore that if I said a big thing at the beginning, Mu Chen would definitely laugh at me...... Maybe, I won't live here again......" Shui Yin said this, his eyes moistened. "I'm starting to like it here......" Shui Yin's unwilling tears ran down the corners of his eyes and moistened the quilt one by one. The tempting aroma of the dish that seeped in from the outside struck the reddish nose with the sound of water. "Goo......" Shuiyin's stomach cried out in torment, beating the drumbeat of devouring.
After hearing the sound of her stomach screaming, Shui Yin suddenly stopped crying, and she quickly wiped away her tears, as if she had thought of something. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her hands simply combed her loose hair. "I'm so stupid." She said.
The sound of water opened the door slightly, and it was quiet outside, except for the kitchen light. Shui Yin clutched the remaining hundred-dollar bill in his hand and tiptoed into the dining room. Yu Xia pretended not to notice her, and continued to read his book "Sherlock Holmes". Shui Yin took a quick breath, walked quickly to Yu Xia's side, and said stiffly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't make up for the rent, but please accept this hundred yuan, and I will definitely make up for ......the rest" As soon as Shui Yin's words came out, his brain was as if he had been bleached with bleaching powder, and the six gods had no owner. She handed the money she held in her palm to the table, and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Yu Xia turned her head with a wicked smile, as if she had expected it a long time ago, and said unhurriedly, "Huh? That's right. It's okay, according to the contract......" Yu Xia deliberately did not continue. Shui Yin knew what he was going to say, and she remembered it clearly, instead of paying the money......
"Give me your hand......" Shui Yin lowered his head, his cheeks already red. Yu Xia was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly stretched out his hand to her. Shui Yin's entire face was hidden under the blue veil, and her expression could not be seen clearly. I saw her stretch out her right hand and gently hold Yu Xia's left hand hovering in mid-air.
At the moment of touching each other, the whole world was silent, and only the heartbeats of the two could be heard.
Mizune leaned her face over and kissed Hatsu's hand tenderly. That soft touch makes Yu Xia unforgettable.
"Yes...... It's okay......" Mizune kissed for a full five seconds before suddenly letting go of his hand. Yu Xia steadied himself and said, "According to the contract, I can't charge this hundred yuan." Shui Yin still lowered his head, "No...... You won't lose a lot that way......" Shui Yin said hesitantly.
Yu Xia got up one by one, less than ten centimeters away from her. He turned his face sideways, and kissed her softly on the cheek through the blue veil. As if electrocuted, Shui Yin raised his head suddenly, and the eyes of the two were skillfully connected. "Now I don't lose." For the first time, Haxia kept smiling for ten minutes. "You...... You, you, you...... You pervert! Shui Yin shouted at him with her eyes closed. Say whatever you want. Yu Xia sat down casually. Perverted landlords! "If you don't eat it, it'll be cold!" "Don't eat things made by perverts!" "Then I'll eat it all." "Hey! Just kidding! Leave me some! ……”
