"He told me about the two of them in the hospital."

Song Qi paused here, thinking back to the situation at that time, he was still a little dazed.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then spoke in his usual tone:

"I searched every corner I could think of you might go, but I didn't find you, and when Wu Ming said that you were in the hospital, I rushed over, but I only saw Xin Cheng and Tang Tang."

Song Qi raised his head and glanced at the opposite side, Shang Xuan's gaze naturally fell on the corner of the table, and he was also caught in a memory.

It's just that if there is emotion in this expression, Song Qi is probably hurt, and Shang Xuan's is Mu Ran.

"When I arrived at the hospital, Xin Cheng was still in a coma, Tang Tang was in the ICU, I asked everyone who could, and no one had seen you. The nurse said that Xin Cheng was shouting for help, I knew she was talking about you, but the hospital didn't know where your accident was, they only told me that they stopped the hospital's car on a mountain road, I couldn't get the police to help, so I had to find a few classmates to go up the mountain to find it, and it was very late that day to find the location where your car overturned, but there was only the wreckage of the car there, where is there still your trace......"

When Song Qi said this, he seemed to stop with some difficulty, recalling the days when he couldn't find Shang Xuan, although she was sitting in front of him now, it was still difficult to erase the horror in his heart, and the background of the horror was painful, and he couldn't remember how he survived it at that time.

"It turns out that I really misunderstood her."

Shang Xuan's fingers holding the water cup lost their strength and fell down on the table.

Song Qi looked at the slender and thin hand, and wanted to step forward to hold it and tell it that it didn't matter, that it didn't matter.

But he endured it in the end and did nothing.

"I called Xincheng at noon."

Song Qi saw Shang Xuan's gaze and said, "She said to me, if you ask about the previous matter, let me not intercede for her, I said I will tell the truth." Ah Xuan, what happened between you at that time? ”

"When the car overturned to the bottom of the mountain, all three people were injured, Tang Tang was the most seriously injured, his mobile phone was broken, and there was no way to ask for help, Ji Xincheng took Tang Tang out first, and I waited in the same place. But I waited for a long time, no one came, and it rained a lot that night, and I thought I wouldn't survive the dawn, and I don't know how to survive, and the next day it was dawn, and I was still alive, and a kind person passing by accidentally found out and saved me, and that kind man is now my friend, and I am very grateful to him. ”

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Song Qi, although it was already light and light, in the end, it was an unforgettable experience, and there were still waves in her eyes.

Song Qi didn't dare to think deeply, that night, she spent that night in such a desperate and helpless situation, and she was powerless and could not help her.

"And then? Where did you get hurt? ”

Song Qi is Song Qi in the end, and his focus on Shang Xuan is always different from others.

Shang Xuan's heart was touched, and his gaze fell elsewhere, and his tone became more and more calm.

"The trauma was not very serious, but due to the prolonged immersion in rainwater, there were postoperative complications and infections."

Shang Xuan smiled sadly, "Fortunately, that friend's family runs a hospital, and he doesn't charge me for treatment, so I have been living with him." After recuperating for a long time, I stumbled upon the fact that I could draw some illustrations for a publishing house, and my friend stepped in to help, so I was able to rehabilitate and support myself from this job. This is my luck. ”

She thought of Si Gan, who had been silently guarding behind her for several years, and her expression had softened unconsciously.

"Ah Xuan, I'm sorry ......"

"How can I blame you, it's just an accident."

Song Qi suppressed the surging emotions and was speechless for a while.

Shang Xuan said gloomily: "In the past few years, I have been misunderstanding Ji Xincheng in my heart, complaining that she didn't come back to me, so there will be a series of things behind, in fact, it's just me deceiving myself, it was indeed an accident, I have always been reluctant to admit it, so I put the fault on others." ”

After the incident, Shang Xuan persevered in the initial pain, and projected all the resentment in his heart towards the injustice he encountered onto Ji Xincheng.

She had never told Si Qian what she really thought in her heart, even in the face of Song Qi, she thought that she would not say it, but at this moment, Shang Xuan involuntarily poured her thoughts and thoughts in front of Song Qi without reservation, without thinking about it.

This is probably the reason why the two have grown up together since childhood, and it has become a habit, a habit that does not need to be calculated too much.

After saying this, Shang Xuan's whole person seemed to be relaxed, she shrugged, only to find that a glass of water had already been drunk.

"Ah Xuan."

"Huh?"

"Thank you......"

Shang Xuan's eyelashes jumped, and the Song Qi in front of her always gave her a frightening illusion, as if she had inadvertently missed something very important in the past, on him.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for coming back safe and sound."

For such deliberate words, Song Qi was the first to laugh embarrassedly, and Shang Xuan also laughed, for many years, he really laughed comfortably.

But is it safe and sound?

When she thought of this word, she couldn't help but add bitterness to her eyes.

She didn't want Song Qi to notice more, so she asked him:

"It's been a long time since I've been to Anheiwon, is everything okay there?"

Over the years, she has actually been staying in Dragon City, and what separates her from the outside world has never been geographical space.

"Why don't we go back and have a look now?"

Shang Xuan hesitated, Song Qi had already gotten up, went to the front desk to settle the bill, and then stood there quietly, waiting for her with a smile.

Song Qi drove the car, and Shang Xuan got into his co-pilot.

"You really bought this model."

Shang Xuan had an aura in her eyes that even she hadn't noticed, which Song Qi was familiar with, they grew up together in an orphanage since they were children, and rarely returned to the hospital since they were in junior high school.

At that time, Shang Xuan always had such a spirit in her eyes, even if it was difficult, she would encourage Song Qi with this spirit, and take each other step by step, walking on their ideal path.

"I bought a small three-room apartment, which is not very close to the school, and I need a car to get around."

"Have you found a girlfriend?"

The car pulled out of the parking space in front of the café and quickly merged into the constant traffic on the street, and the car was silent.

After a while, I heard Song Qi reply: "Not yet." ”

At this time, Shang Xuan's attention was already on the car music list, and she just let out a faint "oh".

Song Qi glanced at her serious side face, endured it, and didn't ask her after all.

Anping Orphanage, located in a village in the southern suburbs of Longcheng City, is a huge world in the childhood of Song Qi and Shang Xuan.

"Ah Xuan? Xiaoqi? Is it really you guys? ”

A pair of trembling wrinkled hands stroked the backs of the two people's hands, and the woman with moist eyes was so excited that she was already old, and looked Shang Xuan and Song Qi back and forth, as if she wanted to find the figures of the two poor children who were malnourished in the past from such a glamorous and beautiful person.

"Grandma Zhong, it's us! How is your waist feeling lately? ”

Song Qi bowed down and raised his voice in the old man's ear and asked.

"No problem! I'm okay, how are you doing? ”

"We're good too!"

After greeting the old man for a while, the two went to the dean's office.

"She's not hearing as well as she used to." Song Qi explained to Shang Xuan.

"You come back here often?"

"Occasionally I would come over on weekends and give the kids some extra food."

As he spoke, the sharp-eyed child had caught the long silhouette of the two passing by, and beckoned to them from afar:

"Brother Song Qi!"

"Brother is back!"

Three or five swarms of figures soon surrounded Song Qi and Shang Xuan.

"Brother, is this the sister-in-law you found for us? She's so pretty! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this is Sister Shang Xuan, and she is also our family member of Anping Yuan."

The moment Song Qi saw the children, the smile on his face never put away, he squatted down and blended in with the children, and the warm scene was moving.

There was a child's tender hand holding Shang Xuan, which made her startled.

The child looked up at her innocent little face, squinted his eyes and smiled at her: "Sister, don't be afraid, no one here will bully you, brother will protect you!" ”

When Song Qi heard this, he got up, taking Shang Xuan's confusion into his eyes, he hid her behind him, and then dispersed the children.

"Whoever returns to the post the fastest, the next time my brother comes over, I will give him a special reward!"

When the children heard this, they all spread their legs and began to run, and in the blink of an eye, there were only two of them left on the long silhouette.

In Anheiyuan, each child, in addition to attending classes, will be assigned their own tasks, cleaning, maintaining flowers and plants, tinkering, and all the details of the children's life within their ability, which is the beginning of the orphanage to exercise their independent ability.

Looking at everything in front of him, as if seeing the childhood of the two of them, Song Qi smiled and said to Shang Xuan: "Don't worry, in the eyes of children, they won't only see our shortcomings. ”

He was referring to the wound on her face, which Shang Xuan was obviously concerned about.

Seeing that Shang Xuan was unmoved, Song Qi seemed to want to say something, and saw the dean of Anping Yuan walking towards them from not far away.

"Ah Xuan, is it really you? I watched from afar, and I couldn't believe it! ”

The dean is about in his early forties, his demeanor is demure, and he looks young, when Shang Xuan and Song Qi were young, the dean was not the dean, but the 'sister Siyu' of the two of them.

"Sister, it's me, are you okay?"

The two hugged each other, and their eyes were red, Song Qi looked at them with a smile, showing a satisfied look:

"It's raining, don't stand here, go inside and talk."

Song Qi's reminder that the dean and Shang Xuan returned to reality, and the two held hands and entered the dean's office.

A long-lost reunion, in the thunderstorm carried out, when the rain passed, the conversation between the three of them has gradually returned to the recent life, the dean happily asked Shang Xuan: "This time back to Dragon City, you won't leave, right?" ”

Shang Xuan didn't explain much, just nodded.

"Then I have time to come back often."

Shang Xuan naturally agreed, but in fact, she knew in her heart that this might be another missed appointment, so she turned to other topics, and after seeing that the time was not early, she said goodbye to the dean.

"Let's leave after dinner, Xiaoqi has a car, and it's convenient for you to go back."

"No, I came here on an impromptu basis today, and I didn't prepare."

"Where you need to prepare something, this is your home, come whenever you want!"

Seeing that Shang Xuan was embarrassed and didn't know how to refuse, Song Qi said to the dean on her side: "Sister, the coming day is long, if you don't rush this time, next time we come early, we will definitely eat the food you cooked." ”

The three of them said goodbye.

When the two walked outside the gate and were about to get into the car, Grandma Zhong hurriedly came, shook Song Qi and Shang Xuan's hands together, and persuaded with a smile: "Give birth to a child as soon as possible, if I can see your child, I will die without regrets!" ”

Grandma Zhong is an old man in Anping Yuan, and she used to love and take care of Song Qi and Shang Xuan very much.

At the moment, her words made the two of them a little embarrassed, and the dean glanced at the two of them left and right, and then pulled Grandma Zhong and said:

"No hurry, no hurry, there is good news, they will definitely bring it back! Isn't it the two of you? ”

Song Qi had no choice but to nod his head, and then opened the car door for Shang Xuan, and the car quickly left the small courtyard of Anping Courtyard.

On the way out, Song Qi finally mustered up the courage to ask Shang Xuan: "Ah Xuan, are you alone now?" ”

He asked casually, but he sweated in his heart and waited for her answer.

Before Shang Xuan could speak, her mobile phone rang.

"Sorry, I'll answer the phone."

Hearing Si Qian ask her where she was on the other end of the phone, Shang Xuan came back to her senses, and she forgot the dinner she had with him tonight.

I was a little anxious, but I quickly calmed down, and I rushed back at this time, and I encountered a traffic jam, and it must be too late for dinner, so I reported an address to Si Gan, "You come here to pick me up, I took a friend's car out of the city, and I was on the way back, and I will be there in an hour." ”

"Boyfriend?"

Hung up the phone and listened to Song Qi's question.

Shang Xuan coughed lightly a little uncomfortably, and then said, "Fiancé." ”

Song Qi's heart sank, it seemed that the shallow mark on her left ring finger was indeed left by the ring, and he was not mistaken.

The only remaining luck was shattered at this time, and Song Qi still maintained a good demeanor.

"Oh? Congratulations! ”

"Well, thank you!"

If they are just ordinary friends, it is normal to bless each other in this way, but how can they be just ordinary friends?

Both of them looked elsewhere, and returned to Dragon City without saying a word.
