Chapter 8: The Mysterious Man

Li Yun stabbed Ning Ye and asked, "When are you going back?" ”

"In a few days, I still have some things to do."

"Please eat, you have to do your best to be a landlord."

"So polite? Whether you are a landlord or not is a landlord is two words. Ning Ye said with a smile.

"If you don't go, forget it, don't say I didn't give you a chance." Li Yun looked playful.

"Which day?" Ning Ye will come to his senses immediately.

"On weekends and Mid-Autumn Festival, our family usually goes to the mountains, so you should go on vacation." Li Yun said very directly.

Banxia suddenly shouted: "Where have you been to the Mid-Autumn Festival?" I'm going too. ”

Ning Ye said with a disgusted face: "What Mid-Autumn Festival are you a foreigner?" ”

"Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thousands of miles together, the moon is the people of the world, isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival the Moon Festival? Why can't I celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, the owner hasn't refused yet, why are you in a hurry? Banxia was so anxious that he shouted.

Li Yun and Ning Ye watched Banxia recite poems in a mess, laughed and trembled, immediately made an appointment, drank a cup of tea each, and dispersed.

Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan had lunch, drank another cup of coffee and woke up, then checked out, drove out of the hotel one after another, and went to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiang University.

Xiaobao is also a hospital with a high fever, when Xiaobao was very young, he had major surgery, and he also did a lot of extremely complex treatments, his immunity was very poor, he often had a cold and fever, and he was a frequent visitor to the hospital.

When Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan arrived at the ward, they saw Qu Yingying sitting in the corridor outside the ward, her eyes a little dull. Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan walked over and called Qu Yingying softly.

Qu Yingying raised her head, saw Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she stood up. A strange man sitting next to him also stood up.

Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan glanced at each other, and Yu Chuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know each other either.

Yu Chuan saw that Qu Yingying didn't have any meaning to introduce, so he said directly: "Is Xiaobao being treated?" How are you outside? ”

"My mom is in there. I told you not to come, the old situation, I will be discharged from the hospital in two or three days, nothing is wrong. Qu Yingying thought about it and asked Zhang Shuqiu: "There's nothing wrong with the venue, right?" It's all my fault, the chain fell at the critical moment. ”

Zhang Shuqiu comforted: "It's okay, are you and us outside?" Besides, it's my job. ”

The man next to him suddenly interjected, "You are Yingying's friends, right?" I am Cheng Ke, and Yingying is, old friends. ”

Qu Yingying interrupted: "Cheng Ke, thank you for coming to see my son, now I have something to do, you can go." ”

Cheng Ke was silent, squeezed out a strange smile and said, "Okay, I'll go first, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

"Don't come again, the previous things are over, you, you go." Both Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan could hear the tremor in Qu Yingying's voice.

Cheng Ke wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Then I'll go first, goodbye two!" ”

Yu Chuan and Zhang Shuqiu responded to him politely and watched him slowly disappear into the elevator. The two turned their heads to look at Qu Yingying, but she just shook her head and said, "I'm not in the mood to say it now, let's talk about it later." ”

Yu Chuan saw Qu Yingying's haggard face and a strand of hair scattered on her face, reached over and pressed her on the chair, and slowly helped her arrange her hair. Zhang Shuqiu looked at Qu Yingying like this, and felt sour for no reason, just sat beside her, patted her shoulder silently, and handed the cup of hot coffee in his hand to Qu Yingying.

Yu Chuan sat next to him, wanting to say anything but not daring to say it, he only felt that whatever he said at this time might make Qu Yingying collapse. But she wasn't so fragile before, and today it seems to be unusual......

The three of them sat silently like that, watching Qu Yingying mechanically take a sip of the cup of coffee, and then cheered up and said: "I'm fine, we'll get together again when Xiaobao is discharged from the hospital, you go back first, now the hospital is strictly controlled, and you won't see Xiaobao before the visit time." ”

"When Xiaobao is discharged from the hospital, take her to the mountains to live for a few days, the swing that the spring promised to install for him has already been installed." Zhang Shuqiu patted Qu Yingying and said.

"Okay, Xiaobao must be very happy, he has been thinking about Aunt Xiaoqiu for a long time." Qu Yingying nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go first, call if you have something, don't carry it alone!" Yu Chuan instructed.

Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan had just pressed the elevator, but the strange man named Cheng Ke just now flashed out of the elevator room, and he smiled slightly apologetically at them. Yu Chuan glanced at Zhang Shuqiu without a trace, and after thinking slightly, he asked, "Are you waiting for us here?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a little presumptuous, but I really don't mean anything, I just want to say a few words to you." Cheng Ke's lips are a little dry, he is very dark, but he is quite strong, and he is a little shy when he speaks, but his eyes are sincere.

Yu Chuan was about to refuse, but Zhang Shuqiu touched her, and then nodded and said, "The elevator has arrived, let's talk in another place." ”

Yu Chuan probably understood Zhang Shuqiu's thoughts, and entered the elevator in silence. At this time, it was not the time to visit the patient, there were not so many people in the elevator, and the three people stood in, and the man looked grateful and said, "Thank you!" ”

The three of them found a café next to the hospital, Yu Chuan was in charge, ordered something casually, and as soon as the waiter left, Zhang Shuqiu said unkindly: "Mr. Cheng, you are so rash to harass the people around Yingying, it's not good for Yingying!" ”

Cheng Ke's expression was a little embarrassed and said: "I, I'm not rash, I saw the photos you took together at Yingying's house, and I saw the interaction between the three of you just now, I can speculate that your relationship should be very good." ”

Cheng Ke saw that Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan looked puzzled, and immediately explained: "Yingying and I grew up together since childhood, live in the same building, and I know her parents very well. ”

Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan's hearts suddenly jumped a few times, but they could only pretend to be calm and said, "Is it?" Then we have known Yingying for so many years, why have we never seen you, and we have never heard her talk about you. ”

Cheng Ke suddenly smiled bitterly: "Back then, I was sorry for Yingying, I ......"

"I don't think Yingying wants to see you, since you have been to her house, you should also know about her current situation, why bother her life." Yu Chuan asked.

"I just think she's having a hard time now, and I was sorry for her back then, I ...... She ...... "Cheng Ke suddenly became a little incoherent.

Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan looked at Cheng Ke like that, and they didn't speak, Cheng Ke suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, as if these two women were not easy to mess with. So he simply shook his head and said: "I think she got married in a hurry because of me, and I hurt her." ”

"Mr. Cheng, stop!" Zhang Shuqiu said suddenly, his voice was not high, but the strong rebuke in it was very obvious.

"We don't care what you did to be sorry for Yingying, but now, you have to figure out whether you appeared in front of her so inexplicably to seek your own inner balance, or something else. Yingying's current situation, I'm afraid I can't bear anything. Zhang Shuqiu spoke very calmly, speaking slowly, but his tone was very firm.

The atmosphere suddenly became very tense, Cheng Ke was silent for a long time, and just when Yu Chuan was about to get up to check out and leave, he suddenly changed his previous ambiguity: "Maybe you're right, but I love her, I want to take care of her by her side, I think she needs a shoulder." ”

"Mr. Cheng, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a person who lives on the plateau all year round, so far away, how can you take care of Yingying? Besides, what Yingying needs is probably more than just a shoulder. Zhang Shuqiu was straightforward.

"It's not a child anymore, since your family and Yingying's family are very familiar, you should know about Yingying's situation. Even if you can accept it, will your parents accept it? Yingying's current situation can't withstand a little wind and waves. Yu Chuan said more directly.

"You may not believe it, but my mother asked me to come to Yingying. My mother used to be a teacher at our factory-run primary school there, and Yingying was her favorite student. Later, I went to teach, Yingying got married, and my mother didn't call me for three years. I was too young to face things at that time, and I just wanted to escape from ......," Cheng Ke said a little speechlessly.

Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan were silent for a long time before Zhang Shuqiu asked, "Actually, this is a matter between you and Yingying, what do you want to say to us?" ”

"I have been separated from Yingying for more than ten years, and if I want to re-enter her life, I must get to know her again, or get some support." There was a clear plea in the tone.

"What do you mean, Yingying's parents have accepted you?" Yu Chuan asked.

"They should have the same concerns as you, but that's okay, since I have made this decision, I will definitely let Yingying accept me again." Cheng Ke was also very frank.

Speaking of which, Zhang Shuqiu and Yu Chuan didn't know what to say, so they just got up in silence and said goodbye.

The two of them walked back to the hospital to get the car, and they both felt heavy in their hearts. Yu Chuan sighed and said: "I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, Yingying has never mentioned this person to us for so many years, and all of a sudden, I looked at her expression today, and I seemed to be a little confused." ”

"The deeper you bury, the more painful it is, this suddenly opens up, Yingying's character, hey. But have you thought about it, Yingying has lived a strong life all these years because of Xiaobao, but Xiaobao's illness, I have also consulted abroad, hey, ......" Zhang Shuqiu shook his head and said.

Yu Chuan was silent for a long time before asking, "You mean, I'm afraid that Xiaobao will not be able to carry it if there is a case?" ”

Zhang Shuqiu nodded and said: "Although the three of us have supported each other to get to the present, you see, Yingying is still reluctant to open up to us for some pain, of course, I can understand her, but there is no way to ......"

Yu Chuan answered: "If there is someone around her who really cares about her, or will it be different?" ”

Zhang Shuqiu nodded and said, "I hope, she has lived too depressed all these years." ”

The two of them walked to the parking lot, each preparing to drive home, Yu Chuan suddenly walked outside the door of Zhang Shuqiu's car, knocked on the window and said, "What about you, when are you going to do this?" That person is dead, dead, he won't be like this Cheng Ke, suddenly appeared one day, you can't walk forward with your feet, but your heart stays in the past......"

Yu Chuan looked at Zhang Shuqiu's gradually pale face, and suddenly felt full of powerlessness, so he could only sigh silently and turn away.

Zhang Shuqiu mechanically closed the car window, the temperature in the car was a little high due to the autumn sun, in such a confined space, Zhang Shuqiu only had a little sense of temperature, only she knew the fear in her heart, she had gradually lost the appearance of Ah Hao, her Ah Hao, she only remembered his smile, she was afraid that one day, even the warmth of that smile would disappear......

Zhang Shuqiu sat in the car until Li Yun's phone call woke her up.

"Xiaoqiu, where are you? Why haven't you come home yet? Our Ms. Zhang has already looked through her eyes. Li Yun still had that cheerful tone.

Zhang Shuqiu took a deep breath and replied, "On the way, I went to the hospital to see my friends." ”

"Okay, come back and save my ear."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yun hurriedly reported to his mother: "On the road, on the road, I have been outside, why don't you worry about me?" ”

Zhang Heng put his face on and said, "Don't you look at how adult-like you are, are you still a child?" Besides, you're a boy......"

As soon as Li Yun saw that his mother had a large reprimand following him, he immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "Mom, I'll report to you a piece of news that you like to hear the most." ”

"Your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a second child?" Zhang Heng immediately changed the channel.

"Ha, feelings, this is your favorite thing to hear?" Li Yun touched his nose a little wryly.

"And what else?" Zhang Hengqi said.

"It's Xiaoqiu, that Ning Ye, do you remember?" Li Yun struggled to turn her mother's mind.

"Remember, it's the son of Secretary Hua's family, and he doesn't have his father's surname or his mother's surname, and his grandmother's surname. What does he have to do with Xiaoqiu? ”

"Hey, if you don't talk about the memory of your Lao Zhang family, all of your feelings are unforgettable!" Li Yun began to deviate again.

This time, Zhang Heng didn't take him away, he glanced at his son, and Li Yun immediately confessed: "Find me today and say that you want to be my brother-in-law." ”

As soon as Zhang Heng heard this, the action of peeling chestnuts in his hand also stopped: "Impossible, right?" Why didn't I hear Xiaoqiu say it? What year is he? I think he's older than you, is he married or divorced? ”

"Mom, don't worry, it's still hot to shave your head! If you want to marry your baby girl, you have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, Xiaoqiu's character, don't help you don't know. Li Yun hurriedly finished the next words.

Hearing this, Zhang Heng calmed down and continued to peel her chestnuts. Seeing this, Li Yun asked, "Mom, I don't seem to be in a hurry when I see what you mean." ”

"I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry. I can't count the people who rushed to be your brother-in-law, and in the end, they all retreated. Your sister's temperament, forget it, I don't expect it anymore, I think she's good now. Zhang Heng said lightly.
