In the city of Yunnan, the cold wind of winter swept by.

In the splendid auditorium, a large band played the wedding march in a grand manner.

On the other end of the red carpet, a couple walked hand in hand.

Flowers, red carpets, music, and the wedding atmosphere are particularly beautiful and romantic.

It's a pity that this is a second marriage.

In winter, the indoor heating is turned on sufficiently. Fen Qiao still felt cold.

With her head bowed, her knuckles whitened from the clenched force, she bit her diamond-shaped lip flap and stood in the back row of the crowd with a stoic voice.

The laughter of the guests, the singing of the band, but she couldn't hear anything as if she were deaf. Just quietly staring at the woman on the red carpet in a haute couture white wedding dress.

She has delicate makeup, bright and beautiful facial features, and smiles to show her smooth teeth. There were almost no traces of age on her face, and no one could tell that she was nearly forty years old, and she was still a graceful beauty.

That's her mom.

Fen Qiao clearly remembers a week ago, at lunch, Gao Ling told her that she was going to get married. The voice exploded in Fen Qiao's ears at that time.

"I'm getting remarried."

For a moment, Fen Qiao didn't even feel that she knew what this sentence meant, she knew every word, but it was so difficult to understand together.

Remarry?

The air conditioner in the room was very hot, but she was like falling into an ice cellar.

Didn't Dad just pass away? Dad has only been gone for three months!

Fen Qiao felt cold in her hands and feet at that moment, hoping that she had misunderstood, or that it was a nightmare that she woke up and never saw. The anger in her heart was irrepressible, and she almost screamed angrily.

Dad's bones are not cold, does Gao Ling not take his father to heart like this?

At that time, she was hysterical and strongly opposed, and even went to her grandparents and asked them to help persuade Gao Ling to dispel the idea of remarrying.

When Fenqiao's father was alive, he had a very good relationship with his grandfather, like his own father and son, and his grandfather once told outsiders that his father was closer than his own son. Fenqiao is the only girl in the family, and her grandparents, uncles and aunts all hold her in their hands and obey her everywhere.

She had no reason to think that everyone would definitely persuade Gao Ling together, but the reality slapped Fen Qiao hard.

Fen Qiao was the last person to know the news of Gao Ling's remarriage, and no one in the family objected to her remarriage.

Grandma put her arm around Fen Qiao's shoulder and whispered to her, "Qiaoqiao, you have to consider your mother's feelings, your mother is still young, even if she remarries, she will always be your own mother, no one will treat you better than her......"

"No, not grandmother, how can my mother remarry? How sad will Dad be......" Fen Qiao sobbed and retorted, but was interrupted by his uncle standing up with a tiger face: "Fen Qiao, your father is dead!" Does your mother have to be a widow for him and not be happy? ”

Fen Qiao looked around in shock, grandfather, grandmother, none of them spoke up, and none of them refuted.

But isn't it only three months?

Why did they accept the fact of their father's death so calmly after only three months? How can a man be so cold-blooded?

"So what do I do? Mom? ”

Fen Qiaoyin tried his best not to let his voice tremble, and he didn't raise his head, but his tears fell on the floor one by one.

Gao Ling replied, Fen Qiao's ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear what Gao Ling was saying. I could only look up at the corners of Gao Ling's mouth opening and closing, very calm and indifferent.

Her heart suddenly cooled inch by inch.

"You also know the other party, Fen Qiao, it's your Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng also has children, so I won't have any more children, you are my only child."

"I won't bless you."

Fen Qiao's eyes were red, and she shouted with all her strength and stared at Gao Ling's eyes, word by word.

At the last word, his teeth trembled and he bit his lip, but Fen Qiao didn't feel any pain at all. It would be nice if Dad was here, Fen Qiao's tears blurred his vision, and he couldn't see everyone in front of him clearly.

She was so resolute in what she said, but no one cared about her opinion. Just a week later, Gao Ling held a wedding here.

Dad's departure has revealed the darkest side of this world for Fen Qiao from then on.

Mom can abandon her for a better future.

Relatives held her for her father's power and wealth.

And now Dad is dead.

She didn't know how she could be at this ridiculous wedding scene, she just remembered that she was dressed up in a mess, and stood here like a little flower girl in a white dress.

Does Dad get sad? Fen Qiao thought groggily in his head.

The pastor began to read the oath to the newlyweds: "...... Will you love him from now on, respect him, and be loyal to him for the rest of your life? ”

Gao Ling replied yes.

But Fen Qiao didn't believe it, she could almost imagine that Gao Ling also agreed to her father more than ten years ago and handed her hand to her father's palm.

The bride and groom exchanged rings, and the light of the diamond pierced Fen Qiao's eyes and wanted to cry.

She was depressed and manic in her heart, trying to destroy something, but in the end she just clenched her fists tightly, turned around, and walked faster and faster, running away from the auditorium as fast as she could.

Grandma asked her to consider her mother's feelings, but who would consider her father's feelings? Dad loved Mom so much, but Mom was only about to remarry in the third month after his death.

How can Dad close his eyes underground?

There will never be a better person in this world than Daddy to her.

She suddenly hated why she was only fifteen years old, and why she couldn't stop it from happening.

She couldn't figure out why such an indifferent person could be her mother? Why did Gao Ling forget his father in such a short period of time?

But she can't forget it, she can't forget the matcha cake that her father brought back to her every day after work, the new shoes that she put in front of her blindfolded every birthday, and every time she poked her cheek with the stubble of her newborn to give her a good morning kiss.

Three months ago, she could never have imagined what it would be like to lose her father in her life.

Sometimes when she suddenly wakes up in the morning, she will feel that her father woke her up. Then she deliberately didn't open her eyes, waited for her father to come upstairs helplessly, and then tickled to wake her up for breakfast.

But life suddenly took away Fen Qiao's qiē. She went from a little princess who was pampered by thousands of people to a drag oil bottle overnight.

The street is cold, it is time to get off work, pedestrians are walking very fast, and Fen Qiao walks in it, like an anomaly.

Fen Qiao would love to go to his father's tombstone and talk to him. However, how could she bear to say these things that even she hated, so that her father could not sleep peacefully underground.

Fen Qiao was still wearing a small white dress from the wedding, with black leather shoes on his feet, and he ran a lot of roads, splashing mud spots. The beautiful peach blossom eyes were red and swollen into peaches, and the bare calves were frozen purple.

Looking around, there is an unfamiliar environment around me, no one I know, and pedestrians are in a hurry. They looked at her with pity, perhaps wondering why she was like this, but none of them stopped to comfort her, not even a word.

She used to be held in the palm of her father's hand, but from this day on, she will be sent under the fence.

Just like now, no one cares how she feels anymore. Fen Qiao leaned behind her in despair and rested for a while, behind her was a French plane tree that had lost its leaves, her brain was groggy and she couldn't breathe. The wind whistled past her ears, but gradually she couldn't hear it clearly. I don't know how long I cried, Fen Qiao was as heavy as lead, and he slid down the branches of the sycamore and sat on the ground.

She wanted to get up and stand up, but she always felt that she couldn't hold up her strength. I used to feel cold all the time, but now I have no feeling at all. Will it die? If only she could die, she could go and accompany her father.

Fen Qiao thought to himself.

The winter in Diancheng does not freeze to death, but it is enough to make a person who freezes outside for several hours in a single suit have a high fever.

……

"Uncle, can you stop the car?" He Kun turned his head to ask, he kept looking at the street outside the car window, but just now he seemed to vaguely see a familiar figure flashing by, and he was a little unsure.

Sitting beside him was his brother-in-law Gu Yan, the younger brother of He Kun's mother. They were about to go to Grandpa He Kun's seventieth birthday. Gu Yan is a rare guest of honor for the He family today.

"Zhang Hang, stop." Gu Yan gave the order to the driver, tilting his head and raising his eyebrows, as if asking He Kun for the reason for the stop.

He Kun's heart was a little uneasy, what if he was wrong? But in less than a moment, he still stubbornly said: "I seem to have seen my classmate faint on the side of the road, and I want to get out of the car to confirm that she is a very good friend of mine." ”

The car had already driven out for a while, He Kun ran back, and before he could get to him, he had already identified the person who was curled up and leaning against the tree, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew that it was Fen Qiao.

In the three years of his classmates, he had never seen such a Fen Qiao, she was curled up in a ball, wearing a thin dress, and her limbs were purple from the cold.

He Kun heard the news of Fenqiao's mother's remarriage, and this kind of news has always spread very quickly in the high society of Dian City, which is a big palm. But he didn't expect Fen Qiao's situation to be like this.

Fen Qiao is a proud little princess, and her white socks and leather shoes will always be spotless. Not very sociable and doesn't like to talk to strangers, but in fact, people are not bad and very likable. At the moment she closed her eyes quietly, helpless and vulnerable.

Although he couldn't figure out why Fen Qiao was here, it was just a moment, He Kun pressed down these messy thoughts, squatted down and called Fen Qiao a few times.

Fen Qiao suddenly felt that someone was calling her name.

She lifted her eyes with difficulty, and only saw a vague shadow of a boy, and the voice was very familiar, it was He Kun. Fen Qiao's popularity at school is not very good, He Kun sits at her back table, and is also Fen Qiao's best friend at school.

With just one glance, Fen Qiao's eyelids collapsed weakly.

He Kun's hand shook in front of Fen Qiao's eyes, only to realize that Fen Qiao was really unconscious.

Fen Qiao had to go to the hospital.

Putting Fen Qiao on his back, it was also at this moment that He Kun discovered that Fen Qiao, who was almost 1.6 meters tall, had almost no weight, and his limbs were slender, as if he was about to break if he used force.

"He Kun?"

As soon as he got up, He Kun was stopped by someone.

The voice is Gu Yan's. The people in the car slowly got down, the man was tall and straight, the shirt was meticulously buttoned to the neckline, without a trace of wrinkles, and the line of the jacket was like carrying the ice and snow of winter, neat and cold.

"What are you doing?" He frowned, waiting for He Kun's explanation.

"Uncle, my friend passed out and she needs to go to the hospital now."

"The birthday banquet is about to start, you go with me, and I will arrange for someone to send her there." The man's eyes were deep and sharp, and his tone contained majesty, which made people dare not disobey.

He Kun was silent, although Gu Yan was his brother-in-law, he was less than a round older than him, and the majesty and nobility on his body were innate, which made people dare not disobey.

If it was usual, He Kun would definitely listen to him. But this time...... He lowered his eyes and insisted.

"I'm sorry, uncle, you go first, I want to go with her."

Only then did Gu Yan take a serious glance at He Kun's back, the girl's head was buried in He Kun's shoulder, and only half of her chin was exposed.

It's beautiful, Gu Yan looked at it.

"Is it a girlfriend?"

He Kun pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Like her?"

This time, He Kun was silent for a moment and nodded seriously.

Gu Yan glanced at him thoughtfully, and didn't stop him any longer, "I'll let Zhang Hang send you." ”

Zhang Hang is Gu Yan's personal driver, and Gu Yan means that he agreed. He Kun was overjoyed in his heart, and after thanking him, he hurriedly got into the car with Fen Qiao on his back.

Fen Qiao woke up from the bump, her whole body was cold and hot and uncomfortable, and when she opened her eyes, she found that He Kun was carrying her, and He Kun's coat was also wearing on her body.

"Where is this?" Fen Qiao's voice was muffled because of illness.

"In the hospital." He Kun replied to her softly, "Don't worry about Qiaoqiao, we'll be in the ward soon." ”

Fen Qiao closed his eyes tiredly, feeling weak, "Don't call my mother, I don't want to go home." ”

"Okay." He Kun didn't ask her why.

Fen Qiao closed his eyes with reassurance.

The winter of November is also the coldest time of the year in Diancheng, the hospital is full, and the extra beds in each ward cannot sleep.

Zhang Hang ran around several times without a suitable bed. But he couldn't let Fen Qiao lie in the corridor, He Kun took out his mobile phone and dialed another call.

Within minutes of the call, an older nurse led them to the single room.

The environment of the ward is very good, and there is a toilet, He Kun is satisfied with Fen Qiao to help Fen Qiao to the bed, and watch the nurse give Fen Qiao a needle.

Fen Qiao's blood vessels are very thin, and his hands are too cold, so he can't find blood vessels at all, and Rao is experienced nurse has also pierced it several times. The fire in He Kun's eyes was about to come out, "Will you get a needle!" ”

The nurse didn't speak, the air conditioning in the ward was turned on, and her sideburns were faintly oozing sweat before she stuck the needle into her veins.

Fen Qiao's high fever this time was menacing, and there was no intention of subsiding the fever until the sky was completely dark, and there was a faint tendency for the temperature to get higher and higher.

He Kun has already pressed the phone number from home several times, tonight is the birthday of the old lady of the He family, and he, as the eldest grandson, can be late but cannot be absent.

I couldn't find a suitable nurse for the time being, and the time was getting later and later, thinking about it, He Kun could only call Gu Yan again.

Gu Yan was also a little strange when he received the call, his nephew was also precocious among his peers, and he never spoke lightly on weekdays, but tonight he even begged him for a little girl.

"I want Sister-in-law Zhang to take care of Fenqiao for me for one night, but she burns too hard to be left unattended. Grandpa's birthday, I have to rush back now. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was a servant brought by Gu Yan from the emperor to Diancheng, and she was very considerate and thoughtful.

"Fen Qiao, her name is Fen Qiao? Is it your classmate? ”

After He Kun answered affirmatively, Gu Yan was silent for a long time.

The words "Fen Qiao" were recalled between his lips and teeth, thoughtfully, just for a moment, Gu Yan agreed.

Gu Yan hung up the phone and thought that there seemed to be an emergency at Zhang's sister-in-law's house, so she took leave from him in the morning and rushed back to the imperial capital.

……

When Gu Yan left the banquet and came to the hospital, He Kun was still lying in front of Fen Qiao's bed, holding the person on the bed tightly with one hand.

Seeing Gu Yan coming, He Kun's eyes lit up, "Uncle! ”

This voice was much closer than usual.

He Kun looked behind Gu Yan, "Why did you come?" Is Sister-in-law Zhang here too? ”

"Sister-in-law Zhang has something at home, so I'll go back to the imperial capital in the morning." Gu Yan put his coat on the sofa in the ward.

"Then ...... "Why did you come from the birthday party?" He Kun wanted to ask.

Gu Yan knew what he meant, and took the lead in speaking, "The birthday gift is delivered, and there will be nothing to do tonight." Since I promised to find someone to take care of Fenqiao, I will not break my word. I can't do anything else, I can still do it for you for one night. ”

He Kun was a little incredulous, and looked behind Gu Yan again to confirm that Gu Yan was indeed coming alone.

Does Gu Yan want to take care of Fen Qiao by himself? Don't attend your grandfather's birthday party?

His brother-in-law, Jin Zunyu, has never served anyone like this, let alone taken care of a comatose little girl.

Didn't my uncle think of any of this? He Kun quietly glanced at Gu Yan's cold side face, and felt that it was inappropriate. But he looked down at his watch again, the birthday banquet was about to start, and he couldn't wait to think about it.

He Kun hurriedly explained: "Uncle, Fen Qiao will ask you" He Kun paused, "If there is something inconvenient, call the nurse on duty..."

He Kun said, Yu Guang found Gu Yan's still cold face, only to realize that he seemed to have overstepped, and immediately silenced.

When he left, He Kun let go of the hand holding Fen Qiao, but found that Fen Qiao was holding it tighter than him. After struggling a few times, he didn't break free, and he called several times, but he didn't see Fen Qiao's reaction, he couldn't, so Gu Yan had to help him hold Fen Qiao's hand.

It's just that this time, He Kun's hand broke free, but Gu Yan's hand was held again.
