"Okay, your mother is tired too, go back, do what you have to do, go and do what you need to do."

felt that his mother's condition seemed to be a little better, but she was a little tired, Zhang Jiye slowly retreated with everyone, so as to make room for her to rest.

When Lexi was instructed one by one, Zhang Chen didn't say a word, just sat there and watched quietly.

But there was no moment of peace in his heart.

He kept recalling every bit of his time with Lexi, and the more he recalled, the more he felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Having said all that, you're tired, aren't you? Hurry up and get some rest! He gently helped Lexi lie down, and then helped her stuff the quilt.

"I'm not tired, I've slept too much these days, and I just want to talk to people." Lexi pulled out a light smile.

"Ah Chen, do you know what I thought of when I first saw you at that time?"

"What is it?" Zhang Chen asked, but he couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery like a water elf when the two people met for the first time, when Lexi jumped out of the pond in the sinkhole.

"At that time, you were covered in black, as if you were smoked by the potion that the master made by himself when he was messing around, but it was funny, and then I heard you say why you became like that, and I thought you were so stupid......"

Zhang Chen looked at her smiling face, and laughed too, at that time he accidentally fell into the sinkhole, and was almost burned to death by the people sent by Zhang Nianjun, when he saw Lexi, he had just put out the fire, and it looked like it was black and fluttering~

was forced into such a situation by Zhang Nianjun, and it was indeed a bit stupid.

"And ......"

Lexi's speed of speech was not fast, just like that, word by word, chatting slowly with Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen's patience was also excellent, no matter how much Lexi said, he didn't show a trace of irritability, but followed her words and recalled more of the past.

Just like that, you said a word, it was dark, and Lexi slowly fell asleep.

Zhang Chen moved his muscles and bones, and then ordered the servant woman standing outside to bring him a bowl of porridge and drink it, and then lay down on the small bed beside him.

There is also Lexi to take care of, he has to recuperate.

During this period, Zhang Chen woke up a few times, and in the dim light, Zhang Chen saw a light smile on Lexi's face, as if he had dreamed of something, and he didn't think much about it, and fell asleep again.

As soon as it was dawn, Zhang Chen got up. He walked to the washstand on the side, picked up a cloth towel dipped in water and wiped it on his face a few times, brushed his teeth with willow branches dipped in white salt, cleaned up neatly, and then stood in front of his wife's bed, "Lexi, don't sleep lazy, it's time to get up~"

The voice was not loud, because she was afraid that it would scare her if it was too loud, because after waking up like this, Lexi would always have a headache all day.

After waiting for a while, Lexi didn't move, and Zhang Chen shouted again.

I still didn't get a response this time.

Zhang Chen's voice trembled and shouted again.

Again, there was no response.

The hand trembled and finally put it on her snort, and Zhang Chen's heart stopped beating at that moment.

"Lexi, you're tired, aren't you? It's okay, I'll get up when you're rested, I'm not in a hurry. I don't know when the tears flowed made Zhang Chen's vision a little blurred, he raised his arm and wiped it away with his sleeve.

Picking up her still warm hand, he clenched it tightly, and muttered in his mouth: "You, you always want to be lazy, and you don't even want to open your eyes to see me at this time, don't you see that I have time to accompany you now, and I think I'm around you all day?" Be content! ”

Zhang Chen kept talking to Lexi all the time, and the more he talked, the more he talked. In fact, in the end, even he didn't know what he was talking about. He only knew that as long as he continued to talk like this, he could numb the heart-wrenching pain a little.

When Zhang Jiye led everyone to this room, he saw such a scene.

The father, who was already in a trance, grabbed his mother's hand tightly and muttered to himself.

At the same time, a strong uneasiness welled up in their hearts. It wasn't until Zhang Jiye trembled and put his hand on his mother's snort and probed it, letting out a heart-rending wail, that they really believed that their mother had left them forever in their sleep last night with a smile of peace.

Throughout the room, there were weepings one after another.

Before they set up the mourning hall, Zhang Chen had been holding Lexi's hand tightly and did not separate from her.

And when the mourning hall was arranged to move Lexi's body over, Zhang Chen let go without anyone persuading him.

"I've been with her for so long, and for the remaining two days, let you send her!"

……

Zhang Jiyang, who got the news, worked day and night, and finally arrived in time on the day of Lexi's burial. At the grave of his mother, the new patron saint of the Apocalypse Dynasty, the mighty hussar general, cried like a child.

The funeral passed quickly, and Zhang Chen seemed to have quickly regained his calm, eating and sleeping every day. Even the servant woman who served him said that there was nothing unusual about the old man.

But such a calm made Zhang Jiye's heart faintly uneasy.

Two months later, Zhang Chen, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill, and there were no other symptoms at all, but he felt weak, and his family thought it was just an ordinary illness, but they didn't expect him to be cured. The Zhang family invited famous doctors, but no one could make Zhang Chen's condition improve a little.

But when Zhang Jiye was anxious about his father's illness, he was called to the bed.

"Don't waste that energy, I told you, I'm sick of my heart, and I can't get better."

After listening to his father's words, Zhang Jiye felt bitter in his heart, how could he not know that his father was caused by heart disease? Since his mother's death, his father has appeared to be the same as usual, but the servants who took care of him, and even everyone in the family, know that he is much more silent than usual.

But he felt that his father had not come out of the grief of his mother's departure for a while, and when he thought about it, he would always forget it when he looked back at them.

"When your mother was alive, we had an agreement." Zhang Chen said slowly: "No matter which of us leaves first in the future, the remaining one must live well, so as to replace the other one who looks after you children." ”

Zhang Jiye's eyes were slightly hot, and he thought of his parents' deep love for flounder, if one died, it was possible for the other to follow immediately. The reason why I didn't choose that was definitely for the sake of them.

"Then you should take care of yourself......"

Zhang Jiye wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Chen's next words.

"I want to too! When I promised your mother, I felt that I would do it...... But...... If you are really in such a situation, you will know that it is really difficult to do it! ”
