67. Mother's bad news
When Xue Lanlan first came to work in this city, she often answered the phone from home, basically her relatives asked her to help take down her children and help introduce jobs, or else a lonely wife complained about her discordant family life online.
After going back and forth, Xue Lanlan didn't answer the phone at home when she saw it, but she didn't expect it to call her landline at home this time.
Xue Lanlan paused at Du Peng on the other end of the phone and said, "Who is calling?" ”
"It's your aunt, she said......"
Before Du Peng's words were finished, Xue Lanlan directly interrupted his speech, Xue Lanlan paused and said, "I know, let's talk about it when I go home!" ”
After speaking, Xue Lanlan didn't care about Du Peng's reaction, and hung up the phone indifferently.
She breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at the café behind her, and didn't know why, both Qiao Ping and Hong Ran were good boys, and they got along quite well, but there was a voice in her heart, as if she was crazy telling her that it was inappropriate, inappropriate......
Neither Hong Ran nor Qiao Ping is suitable for her.
Xue Lanlan froze her mind, shook her head and turned around directly and disappeared into the crowded street.
When Xue Lanlan arrived home, it was the second half of the night, and when she got home, she saw that Du Peng had changed from usual, the lights were on at home, and he was standing next to the phone, looking like he wanted to say something.
Hell, she actually saw a look on a robot's face that wanted to stop talking.
"What's wrong with you?" Xue Lanlan finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in asking.
"I'm waiting for you to come back and continue the conversation just now." Du Peng looked at Xue Lanlan seriously, and then added again: "Your aunt called me to tell you ......."
"My uncle is out of the GUI?"
"It's not."
"My brother has a girlfriend?"
"Not really." Du Peng continued to shake his head.
"What's that, should my aunt lose weight successfully? Show off to your family? Xue Lanlan's brain circuit began to gallop in strange directions.
"Your aunt shouldn't be able to lose it." Du Peng seemed to recall the scene of the meal that day, and silently made a divine mending knife before he said seriously: "Your aunt called and said that your mother was hospitalized." ”
"What?" Xue Lanlan felt that her brain was crashing for a while, what are you kidding, her mother just walked on the front foot, and the back foot was hospitalized?
How is it possible, life accidents don't bring such surprises everywhere!
Xue Lanlan shook her lips, only then did she find that she couldn't squeeze out a word because she was too surprised, she took a deep breath and looked at Du Peng, at this time Du Peng drooped his shoulders, and a pair of synthetic eyes looked at the ground silently.
He didn't look at her directly, but said lightly: "Your mother has had problems with her body very early, and it's not sudden. ”
Xue Lanlan listened to Du Peng's words, she was now 100% sure that this bastard robot must have something to hide from her, but she cared more about her mother's state than accusing him of concealing it.
"Mom, she...... What's wrong......" Du Peng said that her mother's body had problems very early, and this hospitalization was not sudden, so what disease did her mother have?
Why didn't Xue Lanlan know? And thinking back to the past few days, her mother came to play at home, yelling at her and scolding her, and her momentum didn't look like a patient.
This must be a dream!
Xue Lanlan began to doubt herself, she directly raised her hand and pinched her face, but then she was a little refreshed by the pain.
Xue Lanlan's actions did not affect Du Peng at all, Du Peng's tone was the same as always, he looked at Xue Lanlan lightly, and said in a calm tone: "Your mother has very breast cancer and has reached an advanced stage. ”
"How could it be ......" Xue Lanlan muttered softly, staggered and sat on the ground, she leaned on the sofa, she stared at Du Peng, her eyes lost and asked, "How do you know." ”
"She told me that she had three months left to live."
"She told you personally, and she didn't want to tell me......" Xue Lanlan took a deep breath, she tried her best to calm herself down, but rationally part of it was like being devoured, she wanted to cry now, she wanted to buy a ticket to see her mother immediately, and even for a moment she wanted to go directly with her mother, not living alone.
She has been a single-parent family since she was a child, and she has a strong dependence on her mother, so to speak, in her eyes, the only person in this world who can care about her mother is her mother, and now God is joking to take her mother away......
"Du Peng, when did my mother tell you this?" Xue Lanlan took a breath and asked, Du Peng was not shy about this question, he said simply: "It's when she taught me to cook the dishes you like to eat." ”
"Wasn't that the first two days?" Xue Lanlan frowned slightly, followed by sadness in her heart, and now she suddenly realized where the weird feeling she had before came from.
Her mother urged her to marry in order to make her dependent on others, lest she know her mother's situation and do something out of the ordinary, she taught Du Peng these dishes, so that after she left, Xue Lanlan could still eat the familiar taste, and she had been silent for so long, and she came to see her for the first time......
After her mother got sick, she was still thinking about her.
"Mom......" Xue Lanlan slowly curled up, the pain in her heart was like a knife, directly poking open her tears and venting all her emotions.
Her faint cry echoed in the originally quiet house, she hugged herself, her eyes were blurred, and at this time, Du Peng, who was silent, handed over the tissue.
Xue Lanlan didn't take the tissue immediately, but avoided it in disgust and said, "I don't want it, I want my mother to ......"
"Beep, the system can't do anything, sorry." He said mechanically.
"Y-Why didn't you tell me in the first place?" Xue Lanlan inhaled, the tears in her eyes flowed slowly, Du Peng looked at the heart-rending person who wanted to cry in front of him, but he was restraining his own Blood Lanlan, for a while, all the procedures seemed to be infected with a virus, he approached Blood Lanlan little by little, and then opened his arms and hugged her: "It's your mother who won't let me tell you, she asked me to keep it a secret until I can't keep it secret." ”
Xue Lanlan did not refuse Du Peng's hug, her whole small one was curled up in his arms, tightly wrapped by him.
Xue Lanlan actually knew a little bit in her heart, if she could, Du Peng would not hide such an important thing, and her mother's situation at that time was like giving an order, the most important thing for Du Peng was to give orders, so he didn't tell her directly, and it was not incomprehensible.
But even if she understood this emotion, she couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.
"Buy me a ticket back, the sooner the better." Xue Lanlan took a deep breath, she suppressed the malice surging towards Du Peng in her heart, and simply ordered, "Which hospital is my mother in?" ”
"Zhongshan Hospital in your hometown." Du Peng first answered the location of her hospital, and then paused and said: "But the fastest plane ticket is at three o'clock in the morning this morning, do you want to catch an early flight?" ”
"Yes, I bought it." Xue Lanlan paused, as if she had picked up all her spirits, she raised her eyes and glanced at Du Peng, and then avoided his gaze.
Du Peng lowered his head and still kept holding her, but all kinds of code words began to appear in his eyes, and Xue Lanlan knew that he was buying tickets now.
Xue Lanlan took the initiative to get up and leave his safety circle, her mood was much better now than before, and her decision to go home meant that she couldn't deal with it at work.
"Xue Lanlan, I bought you a plane from Eastern Airlines at 3:40 a.m. this morning." Du Peng's voice came slowly from there, he still maintained a cross-legged posture, and then stared at the big round black eyes and asked, "But how do you arrange your work and blind date next?" ”
Xue Lanlan exhaled and said, "I've already asked for leave at work, I know this one on a blind date today, and I'll talk about the rest later." ”
At this time, compared to her mother's affairs, Xue Lanlan had reached the level of not wanting to care about other things, she paused, turned to Du Peng and said, "I'll go in and pack my luggage, I'll leave later, and you can take care of it yourself at home for a while." ”
After Xue Lanlan said this, she closed the door and sat on the ground with some prostration, she took a breath and buried her face in her knees, Xue Lanlan couldn't say how she felt at this time, she felt very painful in her heart, very painful, this kind of pain, so painful that she didn't know how to describe it.
Dull in the bottom of my heart, trembling.
"Mom... Mother ......" Xue Lanlan buried her head and roared in a low voice, she screamed and shouted again and again, she was afraid, she couldn't imagine what it would be like if her mother really lost, she never thought about it, and she never thought about it in the future.
"Mom, I can't live without you." Xue Lanlan leaned on her knees crying, and shouted in a low voice, her voice was not loud, but it could echo in this room, her crying was getting louder and louder.
And at this moment, Xue Lanlan, who was separated by a door, didn't know that at the other end of the door, Du Peng listened to her heartbreak against the door, and felt irritable and uneasy in her heart.
He is a robot, and he should not have this kind of emotion that only humans have, but when he faces Xue Lanlan, he will inexplicably give birth to this kind of emotion in his heart that he can't analyze, as if Xue Lanlan is his virus.
Du Peng stood at the end of the door, picked up his hand several times, and quietly put it down, repeating this action back and forth, but he was helpless, his terminal server could not analyze his next code of conduct, and the action habits were pulling him to do something.
Du Peng was repeatedly melancholy at the other end of the door, and Xue Lanlan's cry on the other end of the door gradually became louder, Xue Lanlan's cry was like a subtle electric current, poking Du Peng's nerves hard, compressing, and making him finally slowly lower his arm.
Du Peng thought that he was just a robot, even if he knocked on the door, he couldn't comfort Xue Lanlan anything, and there would always be a horizontal ditch called 'feelings' between humans and robots.
