Chapter 322: Talking Alone
It is said that the sky is the most beautiful when it is about to be bright, so it is also the best when people think about it but do not get it.
I woke up in the warm sunlight, but there was no one around me.
My heart was empty, and I hurriedly opened my eyes and looked around the room.
Everything in the room was the same, it didn't appear yesterday as if it was a good dream for me.
My gaze fell back to the bedside table, and a note pressed by an ashtray came into view.
When I saw the note, I hurriedly leaned over, reached for it, and opened it gently......
Xiao Ze's beautiful handwriting was laid out on the paper, and I looked at his familiar handwriting, and my heart was a little calm.
He said that he still had to deal with things, so he left first and asked me to take care of myself.
I laughed at how old he was and left a note, and at the same time, I carefully took out my notebook from my bag and clipped the note in.
I stayed in Bali for nearly two weeks, and apart from listening to Weiwei every day to report to me on the situation in China, I also had no contact with Xiao Ze.
Until the day before I was going back to China, I received a call from Xiao Ze.
I had just dived ashore, and I was a little tired and sitting on a beach chair, pressing the answer button and putting it to my ear, looking a little careless.
"Little dream."
"Hmm."
I took a sip of juice and responded lightly.
"The old man is dying, but he still wants to see you very strongly."
My hand holding the juice trembled slightly, in fact, I don't really understand why Xiao Lao has been asking to see me so strongly, if at first I thought he was guilty of me, then now it is obviously not.
There was no need for him to do this, and he asked to see me again and again for the sake of so-called guilt.
"Can you make me think about it?" Although this matter has been mentioned before, but this time it was also a little sudden for me, and I don't know if it has been a long time, and my heart has been worn a little soft, and I am still a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After saying that, Xiao Ze hung up the phone in a hurry, it seems that Xiao Chuan is really serious this time.
I was alone in deep thought, and it took a long time before I picked up my phone and dialed the number.
"Help me book a ticket back to China, I'm going to S City."
"But, editor-in-chief."
I know what Weiwei is worried about, but I can't take care of it so much, "I can't take care of it much, you can help me arrange it." ”
"Okay." Weiwei also heard that I was a little anxious, "I'll arrange it right away." ”
Weiwei has always been very quick to do things, and I am also at ease.
When I packed my luggage, I received a message from Weiwei, "The editor-in-chief has everything in order." ”
I called Xiao Ze on the way to the airport, "I have already gone to the airport to prepare to return to China, and I hope not to leave Xiao Lao with regrets." ”
Xiao Ze was probably also a little surprised, he didn't say anything for a long time, and only after a long time did he say yes, "Okay, be careful on the road." “
"Well, you take good care of Xiao Lao."
"Little dream!"
Hearing that I was about to hang up the phone, Xiao Ze hurriedly called out to me.
"What's wrong?"
"Thank you."
I heard Xiao Ze's somewhat solemn voice, and my heart warmed. "Be polite to me, hurry up."
"Okay."
I listened to him hang up the phone, some comforting put away the phone, for the people who care, many times it is really like this, can share some for him, watch him relieve his sorrows, watch him happy, I will feel a lot more relaxed and happy.
As soon as I got off the plane and walked out of the airport, I saw Wei Wei, who had come to pick me up.
"Why are you here?"
"I was worried about you alone, so I came to pick you up!"
Weiwei took the luggage in my hand with a smile, and said childishly, "How about it, editor-in-chief, surprise or not?" ”
"There are no surprises, but there are a bunch of shocks!"
I glared at Weiwei and moved a large box from the luggage cart, "There is a small box in here that I gave you as a gift, and the others are for the rest of the company, you can take it and divide it." ”
"Editor-in-chief, are you not letting me go with you!"
"If you know, it's good." I glanced at her, "Don't worry about me, besides, you're gone, who will keep an eye on this matter?" ”
"But ......"
"No, let's go!"
I threw my things to Weiwei, "By the way, help me send my luggage home, you know where I put my house keys, I'm in a hurry." ”
After saying that, I stomped my feet behind me without worrying, turned my head and squeezed into the crowd.
Taking the elevator to the underground garage, I drove straight to Xiao Ze's house.
I haven't been back for so long, and I'm getting back on this path.
Everything that seems to be familiar along the way is evoking my memories, and I am also driving cautiously along the way, for fear that I will kill a trip halfway and bite the gold out of something.
Thankfully, the journey was smooth and safe.
It was not too early for me to arrive at Xiao Ze's house, and I saw people standing on both sides of the road from a distance.
My heart tightened for no reason.
When I drove in, I realized that it was Kevin and someone waiting for me.
I stopped the car and he stepped forward to open the door for me.
"Long time no see."
"Long time no see." I got out of the car and turned to follow Kevin, "How's the old man doing?" ”
"I'm still conscious, maybe I'm holding on and waiting for you to come."
"Does Xiao Cheng know that?"
"Xiao Shao blocked the news, there shouldn't be such a fast news over there, besides, ......"
"And what?"
I looked up at him with some confusion, "Besides, the old man has been sick for so long, and he is critically ill from time to time, so he doesn't care much about it." “
"That's it." I nodded and followed Kevin into the room.
The familiar taste came to the face, but the current Xiao family was extremely empty compared to before.
I followed Kevin straight to the bedroom, "I haven't been back for a long time, and now it feels like the whole house has no life at all." ”
"It's lifeless, but that's it."
Kevin couldn't help but sigh, "If Xiao Shao hadn't been working hard, I'm afraid such an empty shell would no longer exist." ”
"I understand." I nodded, and walked in with the door he gently pushed open.
There was silence in the room.
As we entered, the people in the room reacted slightly.
Xiao Ze stood up and walked to the door, I looked at his face through the dim light, his face was not very good, the dark circles under his eyes were also very serious, and it looked like he was working hard.
I said with some distress, "Why are you so inattentive to your body?" ”
"The old man is sick like this now, and Xiao Shao is also serving by his side every day and night."
"Thank you for your hard work." Hearing Kevin say this, I couldn't bear to say more blame, so I just patted Xiao Ze's hand lightly, "I'll go see the old man." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Ze clenched my hand and walked inside, I looked at Xiao Chuan lying on the bed, and covered my mouth in disbelief.
"I really can't believe that the person in front of me is actually Xiao Chuan, who was full of energy and scheming before."
He did look like an old man on the verge of death now, just lying on the bed, struggling to breathe every breath of air.
Xiao Ze bowed slightly, leaned over and leaned over to speak in his ear, "Grandpa, the little dream is here." ”
Xiao Chuan closed his eyes slightly, panting heavily, as if he hadn't heard Xiao Ze speak, and he didn't make a sound.
I glanced at Xiao Ze in some surprise, and continued to speak when I saw that he was also surprised, "Grandpa, the little dream is here......"
At this time, Xiao Chuan reacted slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and spoke weakly, "Who, who's coming?" ”
"Little dreams are coming." Xiao Ze pointed at me with his finger, guiding Xiao Chuan's gaze towards me.
"Little Dreams, Little Dreams......"
The moment Xiao Chuan's eyes saw me, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said with some excitement, "Xiaomeng, you're finally here." ”
"Xiao Lao." I watched him stretch out his hand to me, and I quickly stretched out my hand, letting him hold me, and it took a long time for him to speak, "You all go out, I have something to say to Xiaomeng alone......"
"Grandpa, this ......"
Xiao Ze glanced at Xiao Chuan with some embarrassment, and before he could say anything, I also interrupted him, "Listen to grandpa." ”
Since Xiao Chuan has to see me, then there must be something to explain.
I didn't think of it when I came, so I let Xiao Ze go out with peace of mind.
Who knew that not long after Xiao Ze went out, when Xiao Chuan and I were chatting, there was a noise outside, "What's going on outside......
Xiao Chuan seemed to have guessed **, and opened his mouth a little bored.
"I'll take a look." I saw Xiao Chuan's impatience, and quickly stood up, and while comforting him, I walked to the door, opened the door, and poked my head out......
