325. I am not a family member
It's just a hug. Especially in times of rebellion and separation, he will especially need it.
Cuddling to sleep, she listened quietly to his heartbeat, breathing to the rhythm of his heartbeat, and looked up at him, his chin facing her forehead.
He seemed to be asleep. She was careful not to let her face rub against his chin, fearing that a large movement would ruin the tranquility of the moment.
She's too uncompetitive. If it was because I drank high last time and really couldn't get up, what was it for this time? I wanted to help him, but I lost myself.
She had already foreseen it. Every time she gets close, she prepares for the upcoming parting, and every inch of warmth is the strength for her to lick her wounds. She had to tell herself that he didn't care about her.
That's why she had to guard the screen between them. He didn't know she loved him, so that's fine.
She counted the sound of his heartbeat, counting, and the order was confused, and her thoughts slipped into the dream.
The summer solstice set the alarm clock at eight o'clock, and Feng Zijue and Zhou Wending would come to work at half past eight, and they had to get up before that. However, just after seven o'clock, Su Xiao suddenly woke up.
He sat up and buried his face in his palms.
Xia Zhi also woke up, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Are you having nightmares again?" ”
"I dreamed of him......" Su Xiao grabbed a point of light in his eyes, the light flickered slightly, gradually becoming larger and spreading to the entire field of vision, he suddenly jumped out of bed, "I'm going to the hospital." ”
"Su Xiao?!" Xia Zhi didn't know why, she called him, but she didn't know what to ask him.
He looked panicked, frustrated, and remorseful: "He kept calling for the first two days...... He called everyone over. Damn, I should have known! ”
"What?"
"He was ...... before He was in much worse shape, but in the past two days, he suddenly got better......" He took her hand, and she noticed that he was constantly shaking.
She opened her mouth, stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "I'll accompany you to the hospital." ”
Xie Danyu and Ling Xin's parents would not inform Su Xiao, in their eyes, he was nothing.
Xia Zhi finally knew what Ling Xin meant by "return Su Xiao to you". He asked her to take Su Xiao away. Take him away, he doesn't want to die in front of Su Xiao. This is his last decency.
is also what he can do for Su Xiao in the end. Everyone around him hated Su Xiao, and the fate of the two people changed after an unexpected encounter at the class reunion, implicating the changes in the two families. He wanted to protect him.
Xia Zhi thought, in this way, she could no longer hate Ling Xin. Losing to him, what else is she unwilling to do. If it were her, would she be able to love him with her life? She will only feel sorry for herself for not getting it.
She ran after Su Xiao, ran through the hospital lobby, ran through the elevator hall that was always full, ran up the stairs, and ran through the long corridor.
All the wards were closed, and the corridors were particularly dark. Only the door to which they were going was open, and the rising sun shone brightly, plunging through the window of the ward, pulling down the golden shadow, and watching the figure at the door.
The crying was unusually restrained, standing in the outermost layer of a room of people, and Xia Solstice could only faintly see the corner of the hospital bed.
Su Xiao didn't squeeze inside, but retreated all the way to the corridor, leaning his back against the wall. The hollowness in his eyes frightened her. Let's read books
Her heart hurts, for his helplessness, for her incompetence.
A little nurse hurriedly walked over with a clipboard, she glanced at them when she walked to the door, and was about to enter the door, then stopped and looked back to confirm, and then adjusted the direction and walked towards Su Xiao.
She recognized Su Xiao, the patient was hospitalized for several months, and Su Xiao was by her side, and she handed the clipboard to Su Xiao: "Don't be sad, sign here." ”
Su Xiao glanced down and didn't answer: "I'm not his family." ”
His words were flat and expressionless, but she couldn't hold back the tears streaming down her face. She would rather he cry like she did.
Nanzhou, which had been raining for two days in a row, cleared up on the morning of Ling Xin's death. After that, until the end of December, there was hardly any heavy rain in Nanzhou.
After Ling Xin's body was cremated in Nanzhou, Xie Danyu brought the ashes back to Pingzhou for a memorial service and burial, but Su Xiao did not go.
He returned to that calm and regular life, as if he had just accidentally lost two years of his life, he was still gentle, modest, polite and forbearing, only Xia Zhi knew the sadness in his eyes.
Since the lease of the house in Fenglin Court had not expired, Su Xiao rented a single room in the warm family apartment that he had rented in the summer solstice. They don't meet often, and by chance, they will send WeChat to chat a few innocuous words.
Su Yujie came to Nanzhou again, Xia Zhi didn't know the details of their mother and son meeting, but Su Yuqing called her and said that Su Xiao took the initiative to find Su Yujie.
"They were reconciled, though both faces looked like coffin boards."
Xia Zhi was amused by Su Yuqing's words. She did not agree to Su Yuqing's invitation to dine together. She probably knew what the sisters were planning, Su Yujie just preferred to choose her.
Whether she accepts some concepts or not, she really has to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, if she becomes Su Yujie's pawn, then how will she face Su Xiao? Besides, she is also arrogant, okay?
He had quietly pushed her out of his life, and she withdrew gracefully and cooperatively. If you don't keep it, I won't force it.
I wanted to go to Su Xiao again, because when the company expanded its scale and moved the office to the third or fourth floor, one of the newly recruited editors was sorting out the materials and turned out the sketchbook.
That's also a freshly graduated child, it can be regarded as Su Xiao's little junior sister, and it's also from Nanmei, a girl with a double ponytail and a big voice, she flipped through the book and shouted: "Sister Xia Zhi, is this you?" ”
"How is that possible? Do you think I look like a person who can draw? Xia Zhi put down the box of magazines in her hand, and she finally remembered that this book was very cherished by Su Xiao, no wonder it was familiar when she looked at it at that time.
It was a few years ago, she went to him to draw a mother elephant, and accidentally saw this book, and he didn't even allow her to turn it over.
What she can't see, he probably doesn't want others to see. She hurriedly grabbed the coil of the sketchbook, pulled it out of the little editor's hand, and closed the notebook.
Damn, this was the last thing Ling Xin entrusted to her to give to Su Xiao, she put it in her bag, and when she remembered it that night, Su Xiao was already asleep. She put the notebook on the table.
The next day, the two hurried to the hospital, and she forgot the notebook. When she came back from the hospital, she didn't know who had put this book into it, and she didn't remember it in a confused mind.
You have to do what you promised.
[Are you at home?] I'll come over here, I have something for you. She sent a WeChat message to Su Xiao, handed over the matter of moving the office to Zhou Wending, and left the small building with the new signboard of "Youzhi" hanging on the roof of the building with a sketchbook.
She didn't notice that the little editor was looking at her back with a confused face: "I didn't think she drew it......"
