The whistling of ambulances pierced the city's sky, piercing through the floating white clouds.
Concubine Guan held Nirvana's hand tightly and refused to let go, and the little girl sat quietly on the side, holding her cheeks and watching quietly. There is a warm smile on the corner of his mouth. It's not that she doesn't worry about her father's injury, but she has a strong confidence in her father. When Dad asked her if she was handsome, she was even more sure: Dad will definitely be fine!
Nirvana lay on the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep. No matter how powerful a person is, he is a mortal in the flesh, and he can feel pain and tiredness. The sudden eruption of Nirvana squandered all the strength of the whole body, in exchange for endless fatigue.
"Auntie, is Dad handsome today?" The little girl asked crisply.
Concubine Guan turned her head, tears were still on her face, and she nodded heavily: "Handsome!" โ
At this point, two women, one big and one small, have an invisible tacit understanding.
"Dad never takes the initiative to fight for anything, except for Auntie!" The little girl held her cheeks and quietly looked at her sleeping father, her ordinary face had a different charm.
Concubine Guan's heart trembled, and she had inexplicable thoughts.
"Until now, there are only two people who can really make Dad care. One is Li'er, and the other is an aunt! The little girl said faintly, she could feel her father's indifference to refuse people thousands of miles away, not deliberately pretending to be deep, nor was it due to personality, but the ruthless persecution of reality.
Concubine Guan stared at Nirvana, and inexplicable feelings were brewing in her heart. The little girl's simple but sincere two sentences touched her a lot. The jade hand holding Nirvana's palm couldn't help but increase its strength.
No one knows Lu Dao, and Concubine Guan, who has always been gentle and indifferent, is actually stubborn, and can even be said to be paranoid. She can't change where she comes from, she can't change her life and the people with whom she is entangled, but she can change herself.
In her twenty-one years of life, she lived with a mask of hypocrisy, and her heart was never revealed to anyone, not even the slightest. Including parents who are obedient to themselves and even doting on. And she doesn't have a girlfriend who can sleep in the same room and be like a sister.
The people who pursue her do not know how many. Without exception, they were all rejected by her indifferently and did not give them the slightest chance. She could feel Nirvana's affection for her, although Nirvana concealed it well, but a woman's sixth sense was terrifying.
It's one thing to feel it, it's another thing to accept it or not. Nirvana is still an ordinary man, and he has been favored by her just because of basketball, but for feelings, he can only be called a friend. Maybe you have to add the word "ordinary" that hurts people!
If you want her to open her heart and accept it, she needs to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.
And after this assassination, Nirvana only took the first step, leaving an indelible mark on Concubine Guan's heart. But if you want this mark to take root in Guan Feixuan's heart, it still needs a long way to go.
For paranoid people, accepting you may be a matter of a moment, but it can also be a lifetime thing. The result is unknown. Even, even the parties are confused.
"Auntie, it's better to close yourself off than to try to fall in love with someone, like Dad!" The little girl blinked her eyes wide, and what she said was old-fashioned, but it was not unreasonable. At a young age, she could see that it was not easy for Concubine Guan to be fragile and isolated in her heart.
Concubine Guan patted the little girl's head and smiled, but didn't say anything.
The little girl saw that Concubine Guan didn't show what she was thinking, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't they all say that after the hero saves the beauty, the beauty will cry and shout to make a promise?" โ
Concubine Guan shook her head with tears and laughter, still not saying anything. A novel is a novel after all, and it is the author who controls everything. Reality, on the other hand, is controlled by the people themselves
By the time Nirvana woke up, it was already ten o'clock at night. His wounds had been healed and he was much better.
I opened my eyes and looked around. Separate room, clean and bright. Concubine Guan sat on the stool and fell asleep on the edge of the bed. And the little girl fell asleep on the sofa with a blanket on her body.
What Nirvana, who had an empty belly, wanted to do most was to go to the toilet and get out of bed cautiously, for fear of waking up Concubine Guan and the little girl.
But Guan Feixuan, who was sleeping very lightly, still woke up.
As soon as Concubine Guan wanted to speak, she saw Nirvana make a silent gesture and pointed to the little girl who was sleeping sweetly on the sofa.
Concubine Guan hurriedly covered her mouth, got up quietly, and walked out of the ward with Nirvana.
"It's okay, I'm not that delicate!" Nirvana smiled at Concubine Guan and said, he was tough, and his recovery speed was far beyond ordinary people.
But Concubine Guan shook her head stubbornly, without the slightest tendency to let go.
Seeing this situation, Nirvana didn't force it anymore, but his heart was overjoyed. Even if Concubine Guan has no tendency to make promises with each other, the relationship between the two is undoubtedly much closer.
Concubine Guan Xuan's heart is not calm at the moment, and the cause is naturally Nirvana who is supported by her. When the doctor sewed up Nirvana's wounds, the groggy Nirvana refused to let the doctor take anesthetics, and survived with amazing willpower. The eyes of those doctors and nurses widened and they admired each other.
Nirvana went into the toilet, and Concubine Guan waited outside. Her parents came in a hurry and left in a hurry to deal with today's affairs. At that time, Nirvana was asleep and could not be seen.
The toilet door opened, and Concubine Guan helped Nirvana back to the ward. But at the door, he collided with a charming figure with a food box in his hand.
"Sister Jiaojiao?" Nirvana was stunned, and he didn't know how Sister Lu Daojiao learned about his injury.
After Sister Jiaojiao glanced at Nirvana charmingly, she looked up and down at Concubine Guan Xuan, and said, "This is my brother and sister, and I am really the master of elegance." It's easy to make your kid dizzy! โ
Concubine Guan's face was slightly red, and she just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Sister Jiaojiao, who seemed to have the ability of an unpredictable prophet: "Sensei, our hearts are bright." Sooner or later! Although this kid doesn't look good, we still believe in his ability! โ
Nirvana smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice to Concubine Guan: "Sister Jiaojiao is like this, don't care!" โ
Guan Feixuan showed an atmospheric side in a down-to-earth manner, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiaojiao, I am Guan Feixuan!" Nirvana was injured just to save me! โ
Sister Jiaojiao giggled, nodded, and looked at Concubine Guan with admiration in her eyes, which was a treatment that Nirvana had never had.
The three of them walked into the ward, and the little girl sat up and opened her big confused eyes, wondering if Lu Dao was awakened by the fragrance of rice!
"Let's boil some chicken soup and make a few side dishes, and we'll eat it. I'll get you some good stuff tomorrow! Sister Jiaojiao took the little girl in her arms and motioned to Concubine Guan to go and put the food in the food box away.
Concubine Guan Xuanqiao's face was flushed, and she felt guilty in her heart. She forgot that Nirvana hadn't eaten yet, but she hadn't prepared it.
"Xie Lu, Sister Xie Jiaojiao!" Concubine Guan was sincerely grateful.
Sister Jiaojiao waved her hand indifferently, looked at the little girl, and said, "Just have this heart." โ
The little girl grabbed Jiao Jiao Jiao's long hair, giggled, and asked, "Jiao Jiao Niang, has the dog pooped?" โ
The nirvana in the mouth that just drank a mouthful of chicken soup was extremely entangled: should I swallow it or not?
