In the afternoon, the attending doctor came to inform him that he would have surgery the day after tomorrow, and the operation was not big, a minimally invasive operation, so there was no need to worry too much. Then he talked about the precautions for these two days, and at the same time, there were several tests that also needed to be done. Don't worry, the nurse will come over to remind you in the next two days, and it will be arranged, as long as you do what the nurse asks.

The family's heart, which had just relaxed, began to tense again.

In the past two days, Gu Yihuai still came over to make up for Xiao Mu. Xu Lanqing had no choice, this time she invited someone to come over, which was different from the first time someone took the initiative to come. But Xu Lanqing still felt that this girl was not worthy of her son.

Time passed quickly, all the tests that should have been done were done, and the day before the operation, after 10 p.m., I could not eat or drink in preparation for the surgery tomorrow morning.

A family of three, a little nervous, not sleepy at all.

Xiao Mu thought about it, so he said to Xu Lanqing, "Mom, I'll tell you a story." ”

"Hehe, this is the first time I've heard my son tell me a story. Go ahead. ”

So Xiao Mu told Xu Lanqing about Gu Yihuai's life experience, but he didn't say that this was Gu Yihuai, but just said that he was a classmate.

Xu Lanqing, who spoke, wiped his eyes with a tissue, "This kid is too pitiful." ”

When he finished speaking, Xu Lanqing thought about it carefully, "The kid you're talking about isn't Gu Yihuai, right?" ”

"Mom, I'll just say I'll let you go, I'm extremely smart."

"Less, though, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, you see she's thin and weak, but she's actually very strong. And smart, mature and steady. This hospitalization is also thanks to her. So, on the day Xiao Mu was injured, Gu Yihuai first prepared the things for hospitalization, and also told Xu Lanqing about it.

"Feelings, this is you doing my ideological work, and telling me stories. But looking at this kid in the past two days, at least he's quite sensible, not to mention that I look really good. Xu Lanqing immediately added, "But I don't approve of you falling in love, my daughter-in-law has to choose carefully." ”

Xiao Mu immediately agreed, this is not something that can be done at one time, and the effect today is already good. Take it when you see it! "Okay, I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so let's go to bed early."

On Friday, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the school's teacher Zhou and teammates from the team all came over. The classmates had classes in the morning, but Gu Yihuai also came over on leave. The door of the operating room was blocked, and the nurse blasted them all outside to wait, only Teacher Zhou, Coach Li, Xiao Mu's parents and Gu Yihuai at the door. Gu Yihuai has been with Xu Lanqing, and she feels that Xu Lanqing's attitude towards her today is different from that of every day, and she seems to be much more affectionate. The two sat in the rest area and talked, Gu Yihuai talked about school, Xu Lanqing talked about Xiao Mu when he was a child, the more they talked, the happier they became, and they almost forgot Xiao Mu in the operating room. Xiao Tiejun accompanied Teacher Zhou and Coach Li, chatted for a while, and then went out to smoke a cigarette.

Soon, an hour passed. The door of the operating room opened, and Xiao Mu was pushed out by the nurse.

Just a minimally invasive surgery on the knee, local anesthesia. Xiao Mu was still awake when he came out and greeted everyone. The doctor also came out and announced that the operation was successful, and he would take a film in a few days to see how he recovered. Everyone's hearts were put down, and Xiao Mu was pushed back to the ward.

At the beginning of the operation, Xiao Mu was still relatively nervous, his nerves were tense all the time, and he could still stay awake. Now that the surgery is over, as soon as the mind is relaxed, it is a little unbearable. Originally, this medicine had little effect on normal people. But Xiao Mu has always been in good health when he grows so big, and he even has a cold and fever, and he rarely takes medicine and injections, so as soon as the medicine is strong, Xiao Mu feels that he can't open his eyes.

As soon as everyone saw it, they all went back.

After sending everyone away, Lao Xiao said to Xu Lanqing, "You and Yihuai go to dinner, I'm staring here, just bring me some when you come back." ”

Gu Yihuai hurriedly said, "Uncle, aunt, you go to dinner, I'll do it here." ”

Xu Lanqing pulled Gu Yihuai and said, "Let's go, let him stare for a while, let's go to dinner." ”

As soon as the two arrived at the door of the ward, they saw Zhang Zhiheng and many of their classmates walking inside. The two stopped them, introduced the operation, and said that Xiao Mu's anesthesia had not yet passed. Everyone went back.

Waiting for more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Mu opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing Lao Xiao dozing off, Xu Lanqing and Gu Yihuai were eating fruit and chatting quietly.

Seeing that Xiao Mu was awake, the two hurried over and were surprised to see Xiao Mu.

"What's wrong, are you feeling sick?" Xu Lanqing asked anxiously.

"I'm wondering how you two are talking so happily."

Xu Lanqing was startled when he saw Xiao Mu's expression, and thought that there was something wrong with the operation, "You're going to scare me to death, stinky boy." ”

Gu Yihuai also smiled.

The next two days are Saturday and Sunday. Gu Yihuai also didn't have classes, and he came over every morning with breakfast. stayed until the evening, busy before and after, and chatted with Xu Lanqing when he was fine. Xu Lanqing also likes her more and more, in fact, Gu Yihuai's personality, although it is not tall in ordinary people, it cannot be said to be short.

Jiang Conghan is like that, he is too tall, and he is about to catch up with Xiao Mugao. Lu Yihe's kind is just right, but everyone can't talk to Xu Lanqing together. Gu Yihuai has a good personality, the two talk and laugh, work quickly, and look like a good housekeeper. So Xu Lanqing gradually felt that Gu Yihuai was really good as a daughter-in-law.

On Monday, Gu Yihuai went to class, and Xiao Mu was going to take a film this morning to check the effect of the operation.

After class in the afternoon, Gu Yihuai pushed the door into the ward and found that the atmosphere in the room was gloomy.

Lao Xiao and Xu Lanqing sat by the window, and Meng Ze stood aside, their expressions more painful. Xiao Mu was lying on the bed, his eyes looking at the ceiling, and he was dazed.

Gu Yihuai went over and took Xu Lanqing's hand, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

Before Xu Lanqing could speak, tears fell.

Gu Yihuai felt bad, came to Xiao Mu's bed, and took Xiao Mu's hand, "What's wrong, Xiao Mu?" ”

Xiao Mu turned his face and said with a bitter smile: "The doctor came over in the morning, saying that he had consulted with the expert for a post-operative film, in this case, there will be no problem walking in the future, but it is likely that he will not be able to do strenuous exercise anymore." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xu Lanqing's cry. There was also Lao Xiao's sigh. Xiao Mu's expression was numb, and these words had actually been around his ears for decades. In the previous life, that injury was similar to this time, although Xiao Mu still talked and laughed with everyone every day, but the trace of uneasiness in his heart has always surrounded him. At that time, the doctor's last words seemed exactly the same as this doctor's, and that sentence lingered in my mind for more than ten years. I didn't expect to hear it again in this life.

Xiao Mu didn't understand why God arranged it like this. The persistence of these ten years, the hope of these two lives, and the promise to Xiao Xiao Mu have all been shattered.

Gu Yihuai said; "Didn't you say the surgery was a success? How so? ”

"The surgery was a success, everything that should have been dealt with was taken care of, and what was supposed to be repaired was repaired. However, judging from the condition after restoration, it will affect future sports. ”

Gu Yihuai didn't know how this happened, she thought everything was going well, and she was looking forward to Xiao Mu walking on the court. Suddenly, I heard the news and was caught off guard. But Gu Yihuai quickly calmed down, "What did the doctor say?" You repeat. ”

Xiao Mu really didn't want to say any more, and shook his head weakly.

Gu Yihuai looked at Meng Ze.

Meng Ze said: "The doctor seems to say that the situation is worse than expected, and there will be no problem walking in the future, but it will be difficult to play on the court." ”

"What do you mean, is it difficult, or can't you play?" Gu Yihuai asked very sternly.

"This, this, seems to be difficult." Meng Ze looked at Xiao Mu and Xu Lanqing helplessly.

Xu Lanqing said: "It's difficult, it's basically impossible. ”

Gu Yihuai immediately said: "That is still possible, that is, there is still hope to play." Gu Yihuai looked at Xiao Mu and took Xiao Mu's hand, "The doctor didn't say that it must not be, that is, it is still possible." ”

"I also knew a player before, and he also retired because of this injury, so it's basically impossible." Xiao Mu is still very decadent, thinking of himself in his previous life.

"Not necessarily. You've only seen one, and you don't know all of the injured ones. If each one can be recovered, the doctor will not say that it is difficult. If the one you see also gives up as soon as you hear the doctor's words.

Are you just giving up on your ten-year persistence? Did you just give up on basketball, which you loved?

If you can give up so easily, I'm really scared.

If one day I leave you, it's not because you can't play, even if you walk lame later, it won't. If I choose to leave you, it can only be because I am really scared.

When you're in a difficult time, even the basketball you've been doing for ten years is so easy to give up, just because someone tells you that it might be hard for you to play again.

So what if we have difficulties in our relationship, if someone also tells you, we may not get along in the future. Would you give up on me so easily?

What is in your strong body? Empty?

Where is your courage to persevere?

Even if there is a little hope, why don't we be brave and go for it. If you give up, then there's really nothing. But if we go for it, isn't there still hope? It's small, but it's hopeful. Even if in the end, we still fail, then we have no regrets, at least let me see your courage and see your perseverance in the face of difficulties, rather than giving up easily.

You want me to see that you can bring me security and dependence, and not be cautious and fearful, afraid that one day you will give up on me easily.

I don't care if you can play or not, but I care about your persistence, your attachment to hope, your attachment to ideals, your attachment to happiness, and your attachment to love. ”

Gu Yihuai was already in tears when she said that, Xiao Mu lay in Gu Yihuai's arms and cried bitterly. This seemingly strong body leaned weakly against the weak but powerful body.

The two hugged their heads and cried, and they didn't know how long, they were tired.

The two of them separated, wiping each other's tears, but Xiao Mu's face no longer had the initial frustration.

"Thank you." This time, Xiao Mu took Gu Yihuai in his arms and gently stroked her hair.

Although the two of them got along with each other that night in the main building, they both fell in love in their hearts, but they didn't pierce that layer of paper.

Today, Gu Yihuai's expression made the two people really determine the relationship.

There were only the two of them in the ward, and they didn't know when they left.

The two of them just hugged each other, no one spoke, quietly, as if time had stopped. What broke this warmth was the gurgling sound in Xiao Mu's stomach. Both laughed.

Xiao Mu explained: "In the morning, the doctor came and said that he hadn't eaten at noon, and it was dark. ”

Gu Yihuai pushed him away, "Shall I go and see them?" You haven't eaten for a day, have you? ”

When Gu Yihuai came out of the ward, he saw three people sitting in the rest area. Gu Yihuai was very embarrassed and walked over to call them. The three of them were originally very worried, but when they saw Gu Yihuai's expression, they knew that Xiao Mu had no problem.

A few people returned to the ward, and Xiao Mu said, "What time is it, everyone is hungry, let's get something to eat." ”

Meng Ze said, "Eat, I'll go back." ”

Lao Xiao said: "You go back, there is no food in the canteen." Come with us and have some drinks with me. ”

"Drink, that's good. I went grocery shopping. ”

Lao Xiao said, "Let's go." ”

Seeing that Xiao Mu was back, Lao Xiao was really happy, and he must drink some to suppress the shock at night.

Xu Lanqing sat on the edge of the bed and said to Xiao Mu: "We were outside just now, Meng Ze checked it with his mobile phone, and some people were still able to return to their normal state." It's just very hard, and you have to be scientific or something. ”

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll do some research." That Xiao Mu, who was full of fighting spirit and confidence, is back.

Gu Yihuai saw Xiao Mu's firm eyes and put his heart at ease. But when I looked at Xu Lanqing, I was a little shy, unlike two days ago, when the two of them laughed freely.

Xu Lanqing came over, pulled Gu Yihuai to pack up his things, and prepared to eat later.

Xiao Mu saw Xu Lanqing's attitude towards Gu Yihuai and knew that Xu Lanqing finally accepted Gu Yihuai. A stone in Xiao Mu's heart fell to the ground.

The two glanced at each other secretly, and also saw the ease in each other's hearts.

A few people were eating, Xu Xiaofan, Lu Yihe, Chen Ye, Jiang Conghan, and Qin Junbei were all here. When he was buying food just now, Meng Ze called Chen Ye and told him about today's events. Chen Ye came over to see Xiao Mu with everyone he contacted.

Lao Xiao took a look, come on, drink some together. Chen Ye never shirked when he drank, and poured Jiang Conghan a glass before pouring it for himself. Qin Junbei also came with a cup, and it was rare that Xu Xiaofan also came over, "Give me a cup too, it's too scary." Lu Yihe and Gu Yihuai accompanied Xu Lanqing to drink juice. Everyone is talking and laughing, and when it comes to today's scene, they are all in a cold sweat. Thanks to Gu Yihuai's efforts to turn the tide, everyone raised their wine glasses to pay tribute to Gu Yihuai.

Xu Lanqing never thought that such a soft and weak little girl would be so calm and strong at a critical moment. Otherwise, she really doesn't know what the consequences will be, and what will happen to this family in the future, she is really afraid.
