I pursed my lips, took a deep breath, and nodded slightly.

Song Cheng frowned, pressed Xiao Man's chaotic hands, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

I said in a muffled voice: "The eldest lady said that the person has been admitted to the intensive care unit, and as for the other conditions, I am not very clear. ”

After listening to me, Song Cheng rubbed his eyebrows irritably, and his expression was a little sad.

I whispered, "What should I do now, the eldest lady asked me to hide it from your father, and I don't know who else to talk to about it except you." ”

"Yes, hide it, hide it." Song Cheng nodded again and again, and the whole person was already a little panicked.

"Song Cheng." I straightened my arm, put my palm on the back of his hand, and shook it gently.

Song Cheng immediately flipped his palm and held my fingers tightly in his palm. I could feel a slight tremor on him, and I should have been startled by the news.

Xiao Man chattered for a while, and was sent to Sister-in-law He.

Song Cheng couldn't sleep, so he asked me to go to the top of the building, saying that I was going to see the stars, but in fact, the two of us were lying on the recliner and didn't have the heart to see the scenery at all.

He put his two arms under his head, sighed and said, "Big brother has always been in poor health, it has been delayed for so many years, I thought it would continue like this, but I didn't expect it to be ......"

I didn't expect a person to say no, it won't work, it's so fast that you almost can't believe it.

As if yesterday, he was still stumbling in front of you, and in the blink of an eye, he was separated by the vast Pacific Ocean.

One lies under the stars worried, the other lies in the intensive care unit, life and death unknown.

"Right right." Song Cheng glanced at me and stretched out his hand to me, "Come here." ”

I saw that his face was not good, so I got up from the chaise longue and walked over to him.

He grabbed my wrist and tugged at me, and I fell straight into his arms.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist, and Song Cheng rested his chin on my shoulder, looking a little depressed.

I raised my hand and rubbed it on his head, and persuaded him like a child: "Don't worry, now I just entered the custody room, your eldest brother Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, so many ups and downs have come over, this time it will definitely be ......."

Before the words fell, a rapid ringtone rang, it was Song Cheng's mobile phone.

I was stunned for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly crept up on my back, and I always felt that this kind of ringing had an ominous feeling.

Song Cheng picked up his mobile phone, and when he saw the caller ID, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" I scrambled to get up from his arms.

"It's Lao Wang." Song Cheng's voice sank, he closed his eyes in a panic, and then connected the phone.

Lao Wang is Song Liang's driver, and this time he went to the United States with him.

It's late at night, and this phone call, like a talisman, instantly grabbed our hearts.

My fingers grabbed Song Cheng's wrist, and my heartbeat accelerated sharply for a while, and I panicked to death.

Song Cheng listened attentively, suddenly closed his eyes, and held my hand hard.

He used so much force that the green tendons on the back of my hands almost jumped out.

For a long time, I could only see him slowly calming down his breathing, his eyes never open, and his posture on the phone had not changed.

The mobile phone screen has already dimmed, presumably Lao Wang has hung up the phone.

A heart sinks to the bottom, and the answer rolls on the tip of the tongue several times, but he doesn't even have the courage to say it.

As soon as Song Cheng's fingers loosened, the mobile phone smashed on the hot ground, making a crisp sound of "pop".

"Right right." He choked in his throat, suddenly put his arms around my waist, and pressed me into his arms.

I don't know if it's me or the one who is trembling, I just know that the two of them are like a sieve, shaking all the time.

He whimpered, his voice hoarse, like a voice squeezed out of his throat, and muttered, "Big brother is gone......"

My tears "brushed" and fell out.

I didn't feel the pain of losing my loved ones in my heart, but my heart was so uncomfortable that I couldn't believe it, and the most feared thing still happened.

Even if Song Liang had mentioned it countless times in front of me, saying that he might not live long, I never took what he said seriously.

I thought he would make it through at least fifty years old.

However, this man in his thirties said goodbye to this world.

The last picture left for me was the dilemma of being caught by the eldest lady on a video call with me.

Song Cheng lay on my shoulder, unable to say a word, but hugged me tightly.

I patted him on the back, and for a moment the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, huddled together in the wide chaise longue, eager to crumple the two bodies together.

After the initial shock and pain passed, Song Cheng finally took a loud breath.

I wanted to see how he was doing, but he pressed my head and wouldn't let me see his face.

Instead, he whispered to my ear: "Actually, he has been very good to me for so many years." When the eldest lady misunderstood me, he also helped me speak. But I was born an illegitimate child, and I hated the way he was on top. When he spoke for me, I was thinking, why can he be justified and I can't? ”

"In front of him, I was like a clown, beaten and scolded at every turn. My existence seems to be just to show that he is justified and has a higher status than me. ”

"At first I was timid, I had to please him and wanted him to be my backer. But later, I became more and more bold, my father beat me, I was not afraid, the eldest lady scolded me, and I didn't care. I don't want to hear what my eldest brother says. ”

"Anyway, I'm a wild seed, and my own mother is dead, so what if I'm a bastard, who cares?"

"But right, right, he left suddenly, why am I so sad?"

Song Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and bit me on the shoulder.

He didn't use much effort, but I gasped in pain.

"It's okay, it's okay." I patted him on the shoulder, looked at the dark night behind him, and muttered, "How hard he has endured after so many years, and now he can finally be freed, maybe it will be an easy thing." ”

Song Liang did not have a strong desire to survive, nor was he afraid of death.

For him, life and death are the most natural things.

Yet he is gone, leaving untold suffering for the living.

Song Cheng was accompanied by me, and he was able to quickly come out of this shadow.

Song Cheng's father still has this son, maybe time can slowly heal his pain.

The eldest lady, however, is the most bleak.

After guarding it for more than 30 years, he broke his heart for this sick son, but in the end, he was still a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

I could scarcely imagine what it would be like for her to suffer.

Song Cheng whispered for a long time, until he fell asleep on the recliner.

I slowly took his arm away and pulled out of his arms.

He still had a tired look in his eyes, which was the result of this period of hard work.

People who are only in their twenties already have fine wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, which shows that the worries are one after another, and I am afraid that they have never relaxed.

I sighed in my heart, thinking of Song Liang who died in a foreign land for a while, and looking at Song Cheng who was extremely tired in front of me for a while, I felt a heavy stone pressed in my heart.

The wind was already a little cold in the middle of the night, so I went downstairs lightly, took a blanket and put it on his stomach.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, I lay beside Song Cheng, looking at the starry night sky with my eyes open, how I hoped that all this was just a dream.

However, it can't be done in the end.

Song Cheng originally planned to go abroad, but there were so many things here, and if he was not careful, he would be invaded by others, and he didn't dare to leave even a step.

Song Cheng and his father stayed in the nursing home with peace of mind, and no one informed him of Song Liang's death, for fear that he would not be able to accept it.

A week later, the driver called and said that the eldest lady would return to China soon.

I was stunned for a moment, and agreed with Song Cheng that the two of them would go to the airport to pick up the plane.

On the day of pick-up, I dragged Xiaoman up early in the morning and changed him into a small black dress, and I myself was solemn black from head to toe.

When he went downstairs with Xiaoman in his arms, Song Cheng was already waiting downstairs.

Everyone's mood was very heavy, Uncle Bai drove us to the airport, and no one spoke on the way.

Only Xiaoman has an innocent face, and he doesn't know that life and death are staged in the world of adults.

He was nestled in my arms, his mouth purring, not knowing what he was saying.

When we arrived at the airport, we waited outside.

After a while, I saw the eldest lady walk out of the VP passage.

She wore sunglasses on her face, and the flesh on her cheeks was deeply sunken.

In just two months, his head was full of gray hair.

A round box was held in her arms, and when she saw us, she was visibly stunned.

I hurriedly hugged Xiaoman to meet him, choked in my throat, and called out almost inaudibly: "Mom." ”

This is the first time I have called her Mom from the bottom of my heart, hoping that she will feel better.

She didn't say anything, just lifted the box in her arms, and tilted her head to Xiaoman's position.

After a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoman, you call Dad......

It turned out to be crying and shouting.
