Gu Re returned home from school, however, there was no one at home.

Gu's father was already away from home a few days earlier, saying that he was going back to his hometown to do some errands.

But Gu's mother has been at home all the time, and there is no reason to say that when Gu Re comes back today, there is no one at home.

Gu Re put down his schoolbag, sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Gu's mother's number.

The phone rings at home.

Gu Re followed the voice and looked over, Gu's mother's mobile phone seemed to be placed on the living room dining table.

She walked over and picked up her phone, and the call log was clicked on by surprise.

The most recent contact on it is shown to be my husband.

It was Gu's father who called Gu's mother.

The time is 14:46.

She hadn't finished school yet.

It's 17:05.

Gu Re guessed that Gu's mother left home in a hurry after answering Gu's father's call.

Gu Re felt faintly uneasy, she clicked on Gu's father's phone and called back.

The phone was answered quickly, and before Gu Re could speak, Gu's father hurriedly said, "Where are you?" Dad is dying, if you don't bring Xiao Re over, she won't be able to see Grandpa for the last time. ”

Gu Re's breath was stagnant, his mind was blank, and his voice trembled a little, "You...... What did you say? What happened to my grandfather? ”

Gu's father didn't seem to expect Gu's mother's mobile phone to be in Gu Re's hand, and he was quiet for a moment, "What about your mother?" ”

"I ask you what's wrong with my grandfather!" Gu Re raised his voice and said angrily.

……

Gu Re ran out of the house in a panic, wearing household cotton slippers on his feet, and he didn't wear cotton clothes, what he could see with the naked eye was just a slim sweater.

The winter in Senyuan City is very cold, but she can't take care of it anymore, since she heard that her grandfather is critically ill, she is about to lose her mind, the wind is howling in her ears, but she only feels that Gu's father's sentence "Your grandfather has been given a critical illness notice, and he may not survive tonight."

Gu Re ran out of the community and stopped the car on the side of the road, but he couldn't stop it, and his anxious tears couldn't stop flowing.

Just when she was at a loss, a bus came, and although it was not as fast as a taxi, it was all hope for her at the moment.

Because Gu Re was not waiting at the bus stop, the bus would not stop where she was, so she could only run hard and try to catch up with the bus.

Maybe it was luck, the bus driver waited a little longer for her.

The other side.

Gu's mother rushed to the hospital in her hometown.

When Father Gu saw her, he hurriedly said, "Didn't you tell Xiaore about her grandfather?" ”

Gu's mother dodged her eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your phone is at home, Xiao Re just called me," Gu's father said, "I guess I'm rushing here now." ”

Gu's mother turned over her bag in hindsight, and sure enough, she didn't bring her mobile phone.

"Give me the phone," Gu's mother was a little flustered, and reached out to Gu's father to ask for the phone, "I'll call Xiaoke's mother." ”

……

As soon as Chen Ke and Han Ke came out of the hospital, Ms. Wang called her.

"Coco, are you with Xiao Re now?" As soon as the phone was connected, Ms. Wang went straight to the point.

"No, what's wrong?" Ms. Wang's voice was obviously anxious, and Chen Ke was also nervous.

"Grandpa Gu is critically ill, Xiao Re may be alone now," Ms. Wang said, "You hurry up and contact her, you go and accompany her." ”

"Oooh, oh, okay."

Chen Ke hung up the phone and was about to leave in a hurry, when Han Ke stopped her, "I'll accompany you." ”

“…… Well, good. Chen Ke hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement.

Those who are familiar with Gu Re know that Gu Re's favorite is her grandfather, Gu Grandpa is very fond of Gu Re, since she was born, she basically responds to requests, and she is afraid of falling when she holds Gu Re in her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.

Grandpa Gu loves to write calligraphy very much, and he is very fond of his paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and even Father Gu doesn't let him touch those.

But Gu Re can touch it, Gu Re always likes to scribble around with Grandpa Gu's brush when he was a child, and Grandpa Gu is not annoyed, but occasionally when he helps her wash her hands, he gently reprimands a few words to scare and scare her.

Grandpa Gu always said that when Gu Re grew up, he would give these treasures of his to Gu Re.

However, before the baby could be sent out, Grandpa Gu fell.

Gu Re will go back to his hometown every summer vacation to accompany Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Gu will make kites for Gu Re, will take her to fishing, and will take her to climb the mountain in the early morning when Gu Re wants to see the sunrise.

Although Grandpa Gu is over half a hundred years old, he seems to be very energetic, and he loves to exercise on weekdays, so Gu Re never imagined that Grandpa Gu would be given a critical illness notice.

She didn't want to believe it, she didn't want to believe it, and she couldn't believe it.

Chen Ke and the others all knew that if Grandpa Gu really had an accident, it would definitely be a huge blow to Gu Re.

That's why Ms. Wang and Gu's mother are so nervous.

Chen Ke called Gu Re while walking, and the phone was connected, but she didn't answer.

Chen Ke jumped to his feet anxiously, Han Ke was relatively much more rational than Chen Ke, he said, "Is there an airport in Gu Re's hometown?" ”

"No," Chen Ke replied, "it's a small place, and no airport has been built." ”

"Let's go to the train station, Gu Re is likely to go there." Han Ke stopped the car as he spoke.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Chen Ke kept moving nervously, waking up like a dream.

Chen Ke and Han Ke were luckier than Gu Re, and as soon as they stopped, a taxi stopped.

……

Gu Re had already taken several stops, but there was still half an hour's drive to the end.

The mobile phone in her pocket kept ringing, but she didn't dare to answer it, she was afraid that she was here to tell her the news of Grandpa Gu's death.

She crossed her hands and clenched them tightly on her knees.

I don't know if it was because of the cold or because of the fear, she kept shivering.

Gu Re bit his lower lip with his teeth, trying his best to hold back tears.

But under the double impact of psychological and physiological reactions, tears are still like beads with broken threads, falling down with a snap.

At first it was just a silent cry, but then it slowly evolved into a sob.

Gu Re could hear the other passengers in the car pointing at her and commenting on her.

But she couldn't control it, and tears rushed out of her eyes.

Suddenly, Gu Re felt a shadow fall around her, and someone stood next to her seat and helped her block the sight of the people around her.

Gu Re heard the sound of the man pulling the zipper of his clothes, and then put the cotton clothes on her head.

Gu Re was stunned, and just as he wanted to look up at him, a pack of tissues was handed over from the man's hand again.

Gu Re didn't really want to look at the man with her crying red and swollen eyes, she didn't look up, and whispered, "Thank you." ”

The man responded, "You're welcome." ”

This voice sounded very young and very good, and for Gu Re at this time, this voice was extremely gentle.

Gu Re slowly collected his tears and did not cry again.

She leaned sideways from under her padded suit to look at him.

Probably to take care of Gu Re's self-esteem, the man didn't bow his head, and looked out the window with his eyes level.

Because he took off his cotton clothes to Gu Re, he is now only wearing a black V-neck sweater.

In normal times, Gu Re may say to Chen Ke that this kind of clothes is too sassy for boys to wear.

But today, she didn't think about it that way, she just felt that this person was in good shape, the exposed places, collarbones, and Adam's apple were very sexy, and the skin was relatively white.

Gu Re was still peeking at him, when the bus arrived, this person walked directly to the back door and got off, without any intention of taking his clothes away.

Gu Re ripped off the cotton clothes from his head and looked out of the car window.

Fortunately, this person did not leave quickly, he stood at the bus stop, facing the direction of the bus, and his whole face met Gu Re's eyes.

His hair is very neat, not short or long, his facial features are handsome, he looks very sunny, I don't know what he's thinking, his tongue is on his cheeks, he looks a little uninhibited, with what he is wearing at this time, a little handsome and a combination of dick silk.

Before the car drove away, Gu Re had been looking at him, but he hadn't looked up at Gu Re.

After the car drove away, Gu Re secretly regretted that he should have asked for a contact information.

……

Chen Ke and Han Ke arrived at the train station before Gu Re, and Chen Ke persevered in calling Gu Re.

This time, Gu Re took it.

"Hey, Re Re, where are you?" Chen Ke said excitedly, "I've arrived at the train station, in the ticket hall." ”

"I'm at the bus stop, just got off the bus," Gu Re said, "I'll come to look for you." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll just stay here and wait for you to come."

"Han Ke, why don't you go first," Chen Ke said, "I'm afraid that it will be hot later, and she will feel embarrassed to see you here, she must want to cry now, she must be very scared, you are here, she may hold back, and it is not good to hold back her emotions." ”

"Well," Han Ke nodded in understanding, "Then I'll go, you guys pay attention to safety." ”

"Well, thank you," Chen Ke said, "let you run with me, and now I'm going to cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”

"It's okay," Han Kewei smiled, "I volunteered to accompany you, and you didn't rely on me." ”

"You go back early, bye-bye," Chen Ke waved goodbye at him, "Happy winter vacation." ”

"Stay safe and have a happy winter break."

Two minutes after Han Ke left, Chen Ke saw Gu Re running over in slippers, and he was wearing a large and loose cotton suit on his upper body, which looked like men's clothing.

"You don't know how to wear a pair of socks, what to do if you catch a cold on such a cold day."

As soon as Gu Re saw Chen Ke, she really wanted to cry, she rushed over and hugged Chen Ke, tears in her eyes.

Chen Ke raised his hand and stroked Gu Re's back, and said softly: "You give me your ID card first, and I'll buy a ticket." ”

Gu Re let go of Chen Ke's hand, stood up straight, took out his ID card from his trouser pocket, and handed it to Chen Ke.

On the way to Gu Re's hometown, Chen Ke had been comforting Gu Re, but Gu Re was very unstable in her heart, and she didn't dare to think in the worst direction.

As for Chen Ke, she was very curious about the men's dress on Gu Re's body, but Gu Re was in this state now, she really didn't dare to ask, so she kept being curious.

After all, Gu Re still couldn't see Grandpa Gu for the last time.

When they arrived at the hospital, Grandpa Gu had already passed away.

Listening to Gu's father, they said that Grandpa Gu had an accident a few days ago, had a sudden myocardial infarction, was at home alone, and dialed 120 by himself, and stayed in the hospital for a few days, but it was still to no avail.

Gu's father said before that when he went back to his hometown to do errands, he came back to take care of Grandpa Gu.

"Why? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Gu Re's emotions were a little out of control, and he yelled at Gu's mother, "Also, today Dad asked you to bring me back, why didn't you bring it?!" ”

"Mom didn't tell you because she was afraid of delaying your exam," Gu's mother said, "I didn't mean to." ”

"Is it important to take exams or to take human lives!" Gu Re's eyes were scarlet, and tears flowed down his cheeks, "That's my grandfather, you said it didn't mean it, you don't have a heart!" Hu Ping, you don't have a heart! ”

Gu Re's emotions were out of control, and even Gu's mother's name was directly called.

"Aren't you very proud now, my grandfather has finally passed away," Gu Re sneered, "Can your parents finally not worry about my grandfather living in our house?"

I don't care, they and you, they are all murderers. ”

"How do you talk!" Gu's mother said fiercely, "They are your grandparents!" ”

"No, they're just your parents, and they have nothing to do with me." Gu Re said.

Gu Re had a very bad relationship with her grandparents, and her grandparents didn't like her either.

In other words, my grandparents don't like Gu's father-in-law, and by the way, I don't like Gu Re, who is very similar to Gu's father.

They felt that Dad Gu was not very good at talking, his mouth was not sweet, he was not pleasing to people, he was too honest, and he was not tactful.

If it weren't for Hu Ping's insistence, it would have been impossible for her grandparents to marry their daughter to Gu's father.

Grandma Gu died early, and after Gu's father got married, Grandpa Gu stayed in his hometown alone.

At first, Gu's father was afraid that Grandpa Gu would have no one to take care of him in his hometown alone, so he was not at ease and wanted Grandpa Gu to move to the city to live.

Grandpa Gu went, but within a few days of staying, Gu's mother's parents came to the door to sneer, and Grandpa Gu was afraid that it would affect the relationship between Gu's father and Gu's mother, so he packed up his things and went back to his hometown.

This is 16 years of solitude.

If it weren't for Gu Re going back to his hometown to live in his hometown for a period of time every summer, Grandpa Gu would really be like a lonely old man.

Gu Re cried and roared, and Chen Ke hugged her from the side.

Chen may have felt Gu Re's hoarseness, and slowly, as if he had been drained of his strength, Gu Re slid weakly to the ground and sat down.

Chen Ke sat on the ground with her, Gu Re's eyes were blank, tears flowed vigorously, and sobs overflowed from his throat.

Chen Ke reached out and put Gu Re's head on her shoulder, and stroked Gu Re's hair with his palm, "Cry, it's better to cry." ”

After the relevant matters of the hospital were handled, Chen Ke accompanied Gu Re back to his hometown.

As soon as Gu Re arrived home, he locked himself and Chen Ke in Grandpa Gu's small study, which was full of memories of Grandpa Gu and Gu Re.

For example, the calligraphy font hanging on the wall, which Grandpa Gu taught Gu Re to write;

For example, the kite on the top of the bookcase, which was personally compiled by Grandpa Gu Re;

For example, the photo on the table, which was taken by Grandpa Gu when Grandpa Gu took Gu Re to go fishing for the first time.

In this small study, there are all Gu Re's memories, but now, the other protagonist in the memories will never appear again.

"Chen Ke, you say, my grandfather is such a good person, will he go to heaven to enjoy happiness?"

"Definitely, Grandpa Gu will definitely go to heaven, and he will become the brightest star in the starry sky at night," Chen Ke said, "My mother said, a star represents a person, and a person as good as Grandpa Gu must be the brightest star." ”

"You say, did my grandfather know that he was going to die, so he found an angel to protect me?" Gu Re suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said.

"Huh? Angel? ”

"The dress I had on was given to me by a boy on the bus," Gu Re said, "I was crying all the time, and the other passengers on the bus probably disliked me, so he came over to help me block the view of the others and took off the clothes to me." ”

Chen Ke's curiosity finally had an answer.

"Maybe," Chen Ke actually didn't think that person could have anything to do with Grandpa Gu's death, but since he could make Gu Re a little happier, it was okay to go against his will, "Grandpa Gu is so good, even if you go to heaven, you can make a lot of friends, and it's not difficult to find a friend to protect you." ”

"Well," Gu nodded hotly, "My grandfather has been lonely for so long, it's okay to go to heaven to make friends, I miss him in the future, I'll look at the sky, right, you said, a star represents a person, and the brightest one is my grandfather." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Gu will be watching you from the sky."

"Hmm."

When people are most vulnerable, the little kindness they encounter is beautiful.

So, no matter what the essence of that boy is, in Gu Re's heart, he has been defined as an angel-

An angel who came to guard her for Grandpa Gu.

In fact, Gu Re and Chen Ke both know that when a person dies, it is really gone, and there is nothing to say that they will always look at you and guard you.

However, the people have passed away, the living are like Si, and the living people must have some sustenance and some faith, right?

So, even if those comforting words are like coaxing a three-year-old, they are still willing to believe them.

Not to believe, but to be willing to believe.

Everyone is sober, just willing to be confused.
