Chapter 89: He just claims to be omnipotent
After five years, Xiao Chen started the red Cayenne that had been sealed for a long time, carrying the same woman.
He didn't know what his mood was, but he felt that the empty feeling in his heart had finally disappeared over the years.
His tea is back, and his life is complete again.
Xiao Chen drove the car expressionlessly, while Bai Ming'er didn't make a sound for a long time because she was too indulged in the memories of the past, and the carriage fell into an eerie silence.
Only the car radio was still working tirelessly, and inside, the slightly vicissitudes of the radio anchor's voice was making a monologue:
"Dear listeners and friends, it is a pleasure to meet you again on this sunny afternoon, I am your old friend Ah Zhe.
A lot of people get to my age, and they tend to get more and more nostalgic. Those past years will always appear in dreams like a horse and flowers, many people, many things, I thought I had forgotten, but in the dream, everything is still so clear......
Dear friend, is there such a person in your heart, you don't think about him (her) often, you can't even remember his (her) appearance, but when he (she) appears in front of you, you find that you don't remember him (her) for a moment. Because he or she is like your dream, he or she has always existed, in the bottom of your heart, in that corner that even you can't shake......
Next, please listen to an old song by Eason Chan, "Long Time No See", for all friends who have a story. ”
Bai Ming'er listened quietly, and just wanted to laugh at the anchor's "sensationalism", the song "Long Time No See" was already slowly flowing in the not big carriage.
"I have come, your city, and walked the way you came;
Imagine how lonely you would be without me;
Take you, give a photo, familiar with that street;
It's just that without your picture, we can't go back to that day;
Will you suddenly appear at the coffee shop on the corner?
I'll have a smile on my face, wave hello, and sit down with you to chat.
How I want to meet you and see how you've changed lately.
I don't talk about the past anymore, just a greeting, a word to you, just a word, long time no see. ”
The unpretentious lyrics tell a man's thoughts about a woman, and Eason Chan's slightly deep voice is like a cello soaked by time, vividly pouring out a man's emotions.
Gradually, Bai Ming'er felt that her eyes were slightly hot.
In Istanbul, in that strange city, on an unfamiliar street, she would occasionally fantasize about the corner where the man who had given her infinite hope would suddenly appear and give her a big hug.
When she gave birth to beans and melons, she didn't tell anyone, even her parents only found out afterwards.
At that time, on the night when the labor pains suddenly came, she thought about death in the ambulance that was taken to the hospital, and then she thought of him again, wondering if he would be a little sad if he knew that she was dead.
Istanbul's nights are dry and cold, unlike this southern city, which can feel humid even in the cold winter.
That night, lying on the operating table, she felt for the first time that she was so close to death, surrounded by cold seawater, and she felt the cold little by little, slowly swallowing her.
She thought she would be resentful, especially the man who gave her a child and gave her a fatal blow in the end. But at that time, she found out that she just felt regret, she was very sorry, there was no way to take a good look at her newborn child, and it was also a pity that the goodbye with him five years ago had really become a farewell after the worst, and she didn't even say goodbye to him.
Bai Ming'er closed her eyes tightly, and she suddenly felt that the sunlight outside the window was so dazzling that she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Xiao Chen......"
Bai Ming'er's voice was a little hoarse, not like Qingli on weekdays, her "Xiao Chen" was like an invisible palm, tightly grabbing his heart, and that "Xiao Chen" contained too much helplessness and ...... Reluctant.
"Huh?" Xiao Chen's voice was still steady, but his hands holding the steering wheel were tight and white, he knew that he was always helpless against her, but he was Xiao Chen, he couldn't let people see through his weaknesses so easily.
"Is there a woman like that that makes you think of it at night and feel the pain here?" Bai Ming'er opened her eyes to look at him, her clear eyes became extremely bright after being soaked in moisture, and her right hand was tightly attached to her heart.
Thinking of a woman thinking of distress?
Is there such a woman who can make him feel distressed just by remembering it?
Xiao Chen glanced at Bai Ming'er, just a glance, and then turned his gaze away and looked straight at the road ahead.
"What do you think?"
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but lately he has become more and more fond of rhetorical questions, especially when facing her. Not because he thought the questions she asked were ridiculous, but because there were some questions that even he himself didn't have answers. In other words, he knew the answer, but he didn't dare to say it, because in the end, no matter how strong he looked on the outside, he was just a mortal in his bones, and he was afraid of being hurt, and even more afraid of losing again.
It has been said that those who have not had it should never be afraid of losing. So he would rather not have it than experience the pain of losing a loved one again.
What do you think?
Yun lightly asked a rhetorical question, answering all her delusions over the years.
What is called delusion? Because from his shallow tone, she heard a thick ...... Satirize.
Ironically, he was sarcastic that she was delusional that she was the woman who could make him feel distressed......
"I think ......" Bai Ming'er leaned her whole body back in the chair, closed her eyes, and looked very tired, "I think that a hard-hearted man like you, the most distressed thing should be yourself." No woman can walk into your heart......"
Heart of stone? She said he was hard-hearted? If he had a heart of stone, he would take her picture with him? If he was hard-hearted, he would see a similar figure on the street, and he would be desperate to catch up? If he had a heart of stone, would he have allowed himself to live a life of the walking dead for so many years?
Xiao Chen tightened his jaw tightly, his eyes looked straight ahead, and after a while, the corners of his lips hooked a beautiful arc: "I didn't expect Miss Bai to see me so thoroughly, then congratulations on you won't be easily confused by me anymore." ”
Confused? That's right, five years ago, she was young and ignorant, and she was so easily lost to his mind.
Bai Ming'er stopped talking, just leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes to recuperate, and twenty minutes later, Xiao Chen parked the car steadily, and Bai Ming'er opened her eyes and got out of the car.
But as soon as she saw the situation outside the car, Bai Ming'er was secretly taken aback: "Didn't you say that you were going to wash your mount?" What are you bringing me to the hospital for? ”
"Your grandfather is here, so you don't want to meet his old man?"
Her grandfather is here? Nonsense! Grandpa has been recuperating in a nursing home for the elderly in the east of the city, how could he come to such a private hospital that seems to be frightening to death?
Xiao Chen seemed to see through what she was thinking, sneered, and said, "How long have you not cared about your grandfather?" The night before yesterday, the old man's old illness broke out and was delivered, if Han Qi hadn't found out in time and notified me in time, you wouldn't have seen him now. ”
The night before yesterday? At that time, she was doing an ideological struggle, and it is true that she didn't even open her mailbox for the past two days, how could she know about her grandfather's recent situation through photos? She...... Sure enough, it was a granddaughter who was derelict in her duties.
"Are you going to come in with me now?" Xiao Chen stepped up a step and asked nonchalantly.
Bai Ming'er naturally kept up: "Of course!! And also...... Thank you. ”
This sentence of Xie Lu Xie is from the bottom of her heart, no matter what, she is very grateful to Xiao Chen for saving her grandfather, whether it was five years ago or five years later.
Xiao Chen still walked in front without looking back, as if he hadn't heard Bai Ming'er's "Thank you", but his steps were no longer as urgent as before, and he continued to move forward when she caught up with her.
When she walked to the door of the ward, Bai Ming'er suddenly grabbed Xiao Chen's hand tightly: "Mr. Xiao, my grandfather ...... He's fine, is he? ”
Xiao Chen stopped opening the door, and he found that she was trembling, he turned around and saw her pale little face, and he knew that she was afraid.
He took her hand back, and there was a faint light in his amber eyes: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
In just six words, all the uneasiness in her heart miraculously disappeared.
She looked up at him, and felt that he had never looked more majestic than this moment.
The door was opened, and the window of the ward inside was clear, and the only bed lay a scrawny old man, who was covered with all kinds of tubes that she didn't know......
"Grandpa......"
What the hell is going on? But in just two days, why does Grandpa look so bad?!
"Xiao Chen, my grandfather ......" Didn't he say "Don't be afraid, he's there"? Why did her grandfather become like this? Is that why he told her not to be afraid?
Xiao Chen glanced at her with a pale face, and looked away: "Severe stroke, maybe...... That's it for the rest of my life. ”
"Maybe that's all for this life?" Bai Ming'er muttered to herself, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Chen's words all of a sudden, and after a while, she raised her head as if she was crazy, tearing Xiao Chen's clothes, "Didn't you say you were there?" With you in my grandfather, why would this happen?! Don't you claim to be omnipotent? You save him, I beg you to save him, as long as you are willing to save him, you can let me do whatever I want, it doesn't matter if you pretend to be your girlfriend again, this time I swear, I will not go against Bai Huilian, I will not upset your mother, and I will not say goodbye...... I beg you, save him......"
Speaking of the worst of the time, Bai Ming'er even fell to her knees crying.
Xiao Chen just stood like that, neither comforting her nor helping her, he quietly listened to her heart-rending cry, listened to her keep saying the word "begging", but could not respond to her.
I'm sorry, he just "claimed" to be omnipotent, but in fact, he was still far from omnipotence, and there were many things in this world that he would never be able to do.
He is conceited, but he is not blind.
After a while, Bai Ming'er finally calmed down gradually, and Xiao Chen squatted down to make eye contact with her: "What did the old man of Zhilu Dao say to me the most?" He said, don't let Ming'er know the truth...... At the end of the day, you are still the person he can't rest assured of, you can't bear to let him look like this, are you still worried about you? ”
"Ming'er, everyone should learn to be strong and learn to face it, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural things. If you want to cry, my shoulder can lend you, but you can't cry all the time, after crying, you have to face a choice, choose to continue to let him live like this, or...... Let him leave happily. ”
