Xu Yi opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but Xie Jiaxuan didn't give him this chance, and almost turned around and ran away.

The young man's body stiffened, standing still and not moving, I don't know how long it took, he pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a somewhat eerie smile, stretched out his hand, and gently touched his lips.

Xie Jiaxuan stayed at the door of her house, stretched out her hand and touched her tears, then took a few deep breaths, adjusted her state, patted her cheek, and tried to make herself smile.

It was only after all this last night that she found the key in her pocket and opened the door to her house.

"Grandma, I'm back."

The girl's voice seemed to be the same as usual, but if you listen closely, you will notice that it is a little dumber.

Hearing Xie Jiaxuan's voice, the old woman in the wheelchair in the bedroom moved slightly, as if she wanted to push the wheelchair to turn around to look at her.

Xie Jiaxuan hurriedly ran forward to stop her from doing this, "Grandma, the doctor said you can't do this." ”

The old man in the wheelchair had a wrinkled face, her eyes seemed to be sunken, her eyeballs were cloudy, she couldn't see light, her limbs were very stiff, and she nodded her head lightly, this simple action was particularly difficult for her to do.

It's like an old machine, with a little force, it will fall apart.

"Are you feeling better today?"

Xie Jiaxuan asked softly.

Yin Chunhua's cloudy eyes stared at her, motionless, normal people would be startled, but Xie Jiaxuan didn't care about these at all, after all, this was her favorite and most loving grandmother.

It's her loved ones.

Yin Chunhua opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to say something, and his movements were particularly forceful, but he couldn't spit out a single syllable, and finally seemed to give up, and nodded again with his eyes closed.

Xie Jiaxuan couldn't help herself from crying.

Her parents lost their lives in a plane accident, and her grandfather died two years ago, and her grandmother suddenly fell seriously ill and was reduced to the point where she was confined to a wheelchair, unable to take care of herself, and became a mute who could not speak since.

She and her grandmother are the only ones in the house.

Xie Jiaxuan is a sensible and good child, she has been strong since she was a child, she knows more than other children, she studied hard, studied hard, and finally was admitted to a local high school, because of her excellent grades, she could get a scholarship in school in previous years.

She took the money to hire a nanny for her grandmother, who was dedicated to serving her grandmother's daily life, the nanny's surname was Chen, and out of politeness, Xie Jiaxuan called her Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen is down-to-earth and serious, she does everything very well, and she is kind and kind, and Xie Jiaxuan is relieved to hand over her grandmother to her.

When she was in the hospital, the doctor clearly told her that Yin Chunhua's body would not last long, and asked her to be mentally prepared at any time.

She just wants to give her the best she can in her grandmother's last period.

At this time, Aunt Chen should have gone back, Xie Jiaxuan thought, it is definitely not enough to always rely on scholarship support, she feels that she should find a part-time job, and have an extra way to get money.

Thinking so, she dialed Aunt Chen's phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Aunt Chen, it's me."

"Jiaxuan, what's wrong? Something is wrong with me, is there something wrong with my wife? ”

Aunt Chen subconsciously asked with some uneasiness.

"No, no, there is nothing wrong with grandma."

Xie Jiaxuan on the other side of the phone hurriedly explained, her head shaking like a rattle.

"Surprise me, then what is the matter with you calling?"

"Aunt Chen, I want to trouble you with something."

Xie Jiaxuan bit her lip, "I will double your salary, and I will trouble you to take care of grandma morning and evening during the holidays, because I am not at home, and I don't worry about her alone." ”

Aunt Chen was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and when she spoke again, she seemed to tremble slightly.

"Jiaxuan, it's not easy for Auntie to know you, you don't need to double your salary, just like before, I know about this matter, I will go to see my wife on holidays in the future."

"Then how can it be, Aunt Chen, you also want to live."

Xie Jiaxuan immediately refused, she felt that it was inappropriate to do this, the same salary, but let the family work more, there is no such reason.

"It's okay, Auntie is fine, and Auntie knows that you are in trouble......"

"That's not okay, I don't want to go in my conscience."

Xie Jiaxuan was stubborn and reasoned with Aunt Chen for a long time, but in the end, Aunt Chen had no choice but to agree to her.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Yin Chunhua's face, and felt very uncomfortable, so she gently turned her head away and tried to hold back her tears.

"Where did you go today? Why did you come back so late? ”

As soon as Xu Yi closed the door, he heard his most annoying voice coming from the living room.

Almost reflexively, he furrowed his eyebrows.

Changing into slippers, he turned a deaf ear to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa and was about to walk straight into the bedroom.

"Xu Yi! I'm talking to you! ”

The man was angry and shouted at him.

The young man stopped, his eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was not particularly good.

"Something?"

"I asked you why you went home so late today?"

"Nothing."

He replied perfunctorily.

The man held back his anger, smelled the pungent smoke on Xu Yi's body, and his expression became serious.

"You're smoking again? How much was smoked? ”

"You care about me?"

Xu Yi frowned impatiently and squinted his eyes and asked.

"I'm your dad."

"I didn't admit it."

After he finished speaking, ignoring the man's roar, he walked to his room and closed the door with his hand.

The room was dark, the thick curtains were drawn all day, and there was no sunlight in the room, and the lights were not turned on in the room, because Xu Yi had never liked bright lights, he preferred darkness.

Xu Yi sat on the ground, touched the cigarette case in his pocket, and found that there was only one cigarette left.

Eyebrows furrowed again, picked up the last cigarette, and the slender fingers pressed the lighter, and lit it.

The faint glow of the fire reflected the near-perfect side of his face, and there was an indescribable abstinence.

Xu Yi smoked one cigarette after another with an expressionless face, and the smell of nicotine was unpleasant, but after a long time, he got used to it.

I never choked like I did when I smoked a cigarette the first time.

I don't know why, Xie Jiaxuan's face suddenly appeared in the originally blank head.

She smiled beautifully, the sun shone on her body, as if gilded with a layer of gold, the girl's eyes were bright and bright, and anyone who saw the dazzling smile would be stunned.

It's like the purest and cleanest thing in the world, hard to find.

However, the scene inside my head suddenly changed.

Xie Jiaxuan's eyes were red, her face was full of tears, and she said with hatred that she hated him.

Xu Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

"There are more people who hate me......"

He muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.

"Xie Jiaxuan ......"

He read her name slowly, his tone containing a lot of mixed emotions.

Xu Yi's eyes were deep, and there seemed to be **** brewing inside, but in the end, they all turned calm.

He held up the flaming cigarette butt and pressed it hard against his arm.

The firelight touched his skin and made a "sizzle" sound, but Xu Yi looked into the distance numbly as if he was unconscious and didn't feel the slightest pain.

I don't know how long it took, but the fire went out.

He tugged at the corners of his lips and closed his eyes.
