Li Yaotang lowered his head and took a sip of water, the water was already cold, and when he swallowed it, it seemed to be chilling all the way. She couldn't help but shudder.

Fu Gan saw it and reached over to take her cup.

She ducked slightly.

Fu Gan stubbornly held the cup and looked at her, "Change the glass." ”

"No, you don't."

He said no more. With a slight push on his hand, the cup was already in his hand.

Her stomach has not been very good, and she should avoid being cold, but she always doesn't care, and she still can't take care of herself.

A fire rose in Fu willingly. He put the cup heavily on the coffee table, and the sound was so loud that both of them were stunned. At this moment, Fu Gan grabbed Li Yaotang's wrist, and then he said, "Let's go." ”

Walk? Where to go? She looked at him fixedly.

"You have to eat something. If it goes on like this, uncle will be fine, you will be sick. ”

The expression on his face was serious. It's a bit unusually serious. She's seen it. At that time, she stayed up all night in order to prepare for the exam and got stomach cramps, and he knew it, and he was angry, and he was so straightforward; He rarely annoyed with her, and the few times he did it were because he didn't care about her body. But angry is angry, every time, he dragged her hand, just like now, dragged her, and took her to drink a bowl of porridge first......

Li Yaotang sniffed.

"I'm not going to get sick." She said, "Even if you're sick, it's not your business, Xi Fugan." ”

From now on, you just have to take care of yourself; And I will take good care of myself, so that I don't let you worry, and I won't let you worry anymore.

Fu Gan didn't move, Li Yaotang didn't move.

They just looked at each other.

What Li Yaotang saw from Fu Gan's eyes was the sorrow that was constantly gathering.

Quietly, quietly, she said, "You...... I should have been told earlier. ”

Li Yaotang's tone made Fu Gan's hands can't help but exert force.

Seeing the confusion and perhaps a hint of horror flickering in his eyes, she understood what he was thinking. She bowed her head and snapped his fingers; His fingers were slightly cold—she didn't have to look, she knew his face had cooled down, too.

"Today, if it weren't for Dad suddenly fainting, you ...... and Auntie, and will help him hide it from me, right? Her voice was soft, as if she could pinch out water, but it still made Fu Gan's heart seem to be thrown to the ground from mid-air - she said this, this ...... "In your eyes, I just can't stand a little thing?" ”

He was silent.

"I always think that if anything can protect me, protect me...... But, sooner or later, I'll have to know. She looked into the ward again, there was only a lamp at the head of the bed, the light was warm and soft, because it was in the hospital, it seemed that this warmth was deliberately created, which made her feel sad, "Today, if Dad really has something...... I regret that it was too late. ”

She looked straight ahead, her gaze firm and calm.

When she held her father's hand in her hand, when she saw his father's laborious opening, it was just to call her by her name when the father and daughter were facing each other...... She finally acknowledges her deep vulnerability. Everything didn't matter until she realized that maybe all of a sudden, she would be separated from her father forever. It doesn't matter anymore.

She knew she hadn't asked a question last night, and maybe she wouldn't ask it again in her life. She could see the worry in Fu Gan's eyes, she could see the inquiry in He Yu's eyes, and she could see the hesitation in her father's eyes...... No, not for them, for herself. For herself, it can be better. It's selfishness, it's selfishness. She knows. This time, she was selfish. She didn't ask. Let them go, and let yourself go.

Fu Gan looked at Li Yaotang's cold and stubborn eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Tangtang, I won't tell you because of ......"

A rush of footsteps came to the door, Li Yaotang and Fu Gan turned around, it was a resume, and they asked when they entered the door: "Tangtang, how is Mr. Li?" Have you rested? ”

Li Yaotang stood up and shook his head. She looked at the documents in her hand and the few people standing outside the door, knowing that her father was afraid that he would not be able to rest for a while. I had the heart to stop it, but when I saw the look on Uncle Jane's face, I was already a little anxious; When he turned around again, he saw that his father was already waving to Uncle Jian, Shen Peiyi turned on the overhead light, opened the door and asked his party to go in.

Shen Peiyi carefully put down the blinds, and as soon as she came out, she saw Li Yaotang's face solemn, and said softly: "It's so late, and I don't know what the urgency is......" She took the water handed by Fu Gan, paused, and looked at Li Yaotang, "Your father said that he will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." I'm too busy to delay this time. ”

Li Yaotang's eyebrows furrowed, "Delaying time?" She repeated these four words, and in her tone, a coldness had gathered. Shen Peiyi paused when she was drinking water, slowly put down the water glass, raised her eyes to look at Li Yaotang, and saw her looking at herself coldly, her heart sank.

"He thought, as soon as the April incident is over, he will have surgery immediately." She patiently explained.

"You agree?"

"Your Daddy's Temper ......"

"Auntie, Dad's temper is not a problem, Dad's health is the problem." Li Yaotang interrupted Shen Peiyi's words.

"I know, but ......" Li Yaotang's gaze was like a cold breeze, and she understood the dissatisfaction and blame in this question.

"You should have known and told me. It's my dad, I don't care enough about him, it's my fault, but, you, and dad, how can you hide such a big matter from me like this. A thousand things came to her mind all of a sudden, Li Yaotang's mood was a little out of control, she tried her best to be self-contained, and no matter how ugly Shen Peiyi's face was, today, she made a mistake. She took a breath, "I'm against it. I am categorically opposed. ”

"Tang Tang, calm down." Fu Gan had been looking at Li Yaotang, and he saw her tightly clenched fists, and her finger joints were white. Li Yaotang's words, to him, every sentence referred to him, and there was a burning pain in his heart.

"I'm calm enough." Li Yaotang's gaze, sparkling, moved from Shen Peiyi's face to Fu Gan's face, "I am his daughter, I should always have the right to oppose him being discharged from the hospital so soon and ask him to stay in the hospital for treatment, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Gan was almost completely stunned.

The room was very quiet.

Shen Peiyi looked at Li Yaotang. Since last night, this child, in front of himself, seems to be a different person. From resistance and indifference to toughness and vitriolity - is it just because she was hiding her father's illness? It seems to be, but not entirely. A series of events made her not have time to think too much, but at this time, she suddenly strung together - her son's nervousness, Li Jili's illness, and Li Yaotang's abnormality...... Thinking of this, she glanced at Fu Gan, and the expression on her face stiffened a little.

Li Yaotang was about to say something, but he heard a broken cry in the ward, "Nonsense!" Then came Li Jili's sonorous voice, and the sound of something falling to the ground.

Li Yaotang's face changed, he stepped over in two steps, his hand was on the door handle, he wanted to go in, but he hesitated, and between advancing and retreating, he heard Li Jili say loudly, "Prepare a car for me"! Li Yaotang couldn't hold back any longer, she unscrewed the door handle, only to see that her father had already gone to the ground and pulled out the infusion tube.

"Daddy!"

"Ji Li!"

Li Yaotang and Shen Peiyi spoke at the same time. Li Jili ignored them, and only said to the resume and others in front of him: "Notify to convene an emergency meeting." I'll be there in twenty minutes. ”

Briefly, he knocked on his heels, saluted, and hurried out with people. Passing by Li Yaotang's side, his eyes were slightly apologetic. However, the footsteps did not stop, and the wind blew out.

When there was only one family member left in the ward, Li Yaotang came over and pressed his father's hand that was fastening the button, "Dad! ”

There was an unhealthy flush on Li Yaotang's face, which was obviously the aftermath of the anger. He looked at his daughter, then at Shen Peiyi and Fu Gan, nodded, didn't speak, just pointed to his clothes. Shen Peiyi silently took his military uniform and walked over.

"Tang Tang." Li Jili looked into her daughter's eyes, "Dad is in a hurry." ”

Father and daughter, looking at each other.

Daddy is in a hurry...... It's the sentence she's heard the most since she was a child. In a hurry, always in a hurry...... How can you always be like this, can you always be ahead of time?

Li Yaotang sniffed, his chest aching. She knew she couldn't stop it, but she was distressed. I feel sorry for my father who is sick like this and has to be "in a hurry". She grabbed her father's hand, unwilling to let go.

Li Jili backhanded his daughter's hand in the palm of his hand, shook it, let it go, and took the military uniform from Shen Peiyi's hand, he motioned for them to go out with his eyes, he wanted to change his clothes.

Li Yaotang endured it, and finally held back the sadness that came up from the bottom of his heart. She held her father and waited for him to change his clothes. Shen Peiyi stood aside and handed it over the same. She watched Li Yaotang quickly button and sort out the fine pieces for Li Jili, the front and back placket, cuffs, neckline, and even the name tag on her chest were wiped twice...... It's no different from what she does every time, but this is a daughter, the most subtle care and the most tender love for her father. And Ji Li, although there was not much expression on his face, but she knew - that gentle look - at this moment, even if he didn't say anything, he would say everything.

Li Jili raised his hand and stroked his daughter's face, "You all go home." If there is anything to stay in the hospital, go back to sleep. Wait for me to get home for supper, cultivate my art, and prepare something delicious. His last words were addressed to his wife. Shen Peiyi gave him a smile. He nodded and looked at Fu Gan, "Fu Gan, I'll leave it to you here." ”

"Don't worry." Fu Gan opened the door, "I'll send you down." ”

Li Jili stopped talking. Shen Peiyi put his shoes in front of him, he changed into shoes, raised his feet and walked out.

Li Yaotang followed behind her father, and the moment she left the ward, she saw her father straighten his back. On his face and body, the last trace of tiredness and warmth was swept away at that moment, and his father at this time was full of energy and sick. She saw it in her eyes, but her heart was extremely sour.

The car was already waiting downstairs. Resume Jie opened the car door, Li Jili did not pause, and went straight to the car. He gestured to Li Yaotang and asked Li Yaotang to look at the ambulance behind the convoy. Li Yaotang was a little relieved, and when she saw Shen Peiyi walking over and holding on to the car door, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, she turned around and said, "I'm still not at ease, I'll follow, Fu Gan, Tang Tang, you go home." The door just shut. Soon, the car disappeared into the night.

Li Yaotang and Fu Gan stood side by side in the open space in front of the hospital building. The wind, carrying the loneliness of the night, howled. For a long time, the two of them remained motionless.
