Faculty Building, Night.

The dark sky covered the earth, and outside the window, the cold wind whistled and occasionally knocked on the transparent glass, making a terrifying clang. Fortunately, the room was warmly lit, and the air conditioner hanging on the wall was working hard to bring heat to every corner of the house.

"That's not the way you go."

Teacher Hou sat in a wheelchair, with a sad face. Su's mother sat on the side, wearing a big coat, but she still felt very cold, so she shrank forward slightly, rubbing her hands to keep warm.

"We can't help it, Xiaoran's child has suffered too much with us, and now her father is ...... again"

Before he could finish speaking, his voice choked, so he lowered his head and pointed his moist red eyes against the cold ground. Teacher Hou let out a long sigh and couldn't help but reproach: "You still know it's good for her?" Don't you know what the character of that kid is? If it's really for her good, you shouldn't do this whole thing, do you think that you are the greatest mercy to her by leaving quietly like this? Tell you, she must be crazy all over the world looking for you now, and if she can't find it, she will keep looking. Can you bear to watch your children live with self-blame and pain all the time?! ”

"I ...... I don't want to, but it's better than watching her suffer with us, you know, she wants to be strong, she will take everything on herself, if you add the two of us as a burden, I'm afraid she will collapse. ”

"At the end of the day, I'm dragging her down." Teacher Hou was infected by Su's mother's emotions and was extremely melancholy for a while. Over the years, she knows how Su Xiaoran has treated her, and she also knows what kind of life Su Xiaoran has lived.

Poor child, it's obviously not her responsibility, why do you want to take it desperately?

Su's mother saw that Teacher Hou also had red eyes, so she quickly explained: "Teacher Hou, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, you know, if you hadn't saved Xiaoran back then, it is very likely that she would be the person in the wheelchair today." For your kindness, our whole family will never be able to change, sorry ......"

Su's mother suddenly got up from the seat, and as soon as her legs were bent, she was about to kneel on the ground, but Teacher Hou hurriedly stopped her with her hand: "What are you doing!" Get up! We're both about the same age, aren't you doing this to make me lose my life? ”

"I just ask you to take a good look at Xiaoran for us in the future, I know that you have always treated her like a daughter, and with you, we are somewhat relieved. That child is poor, she has been abandoned since she was a child, and over the years, I have always wanted to give her the best conditions and the best care, but I can't do it, I really can't do it......"

Su's mother had already burst into tears, and Teacher Hou bit her lip, feeling that the second elder of the Su family was too crazy and arbitrary.

"Oh no, madam, Mr. Su has been coughing, and he seems to have a fever!"

At this time, Ah Xiang hurriedly ran out of the room, still holding a hot and humid towel in her hand.

When Su's mother heard this, she didn't even have time to wipe her tears, so she hurriedly ran into the room, and Teacher Hou also pushed the wheelchair in, only to see Su's father lying flat on the bed, his forehead covered with a hot and humid towel that had just been changed. His lips were white, his eyes were tightly closed, and he coughed from time to time, tugging at his body, and his emaciated body shook with the sound of coughing, looking really serious.

"What's wrong with you, old man? Don't scare me. ”

Su's mother stroked his face with her hand, it was as hot as a fire, she hurriedly brought the potion on the table to pour it for him, but Su's father seemed to have lost consciousness and refused to drink.

Teacher Hou watched anxiously from the sidelines and scolded, "Why don't you rush to the hospital?" When is it? Now it's all about saving lives! ”

"I ...... But ......" Su's mother was anxious and incoherent.

"But what is it? It's all this time, do you still want to deceive Xiaoran? If her father has three longs and two shorts, you will deprive Xiaoran of the opportunity to see him for the last time! If you're embarrassed to make this call, I'll call! I can't follow you to deceive her anyway. ”

Teacher Hou didn't know where the fire came from, in short, she felt that there was a fire in her body, if she didn't spread it, she would be uncomfortable to death, how could she hesitate to die in such a hurry?

"Ah Xiang, you go and call 120, and bring my mobile phone!"

Ah Xiang was also frightened, and went to make a phone call in a panic, and then handed the phone to Teacher Hou, Su's mother looked at Su's father who was lying motionless on the bed in a daze, dumbfounded.

Teacher Hou hurriedly called Su Xiaoran, but unfortunately, she dialed several calls in a row and no one answered, and after a while, the ambulance came, watching the group carrying Su's father away, Su's mother also followed, and Teacher Hou stayed in a wheelchair, anxious.

"I don't know when it's a head, but I hope it's safe!"

"Ah Xiang, you go again, take the landline and call Su Xiaoran!"

Teacher Hou began to worry about Su Xiaoran's arrival, she had never been unable to answer the phone, could it be ...... Something happened, right?

Ay! How long is this big family going to be troubled?!

……

in the hospital.

Su's father was sent in time, and the doctor said that he was infected with wind and cold, plus he had just had a serious illness recently, and all the functions of his body had declined, and he had to be sent in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Su's mother stayed in front of the hospital bed, looking at her weak wife, thinking about the toss of the past few days, and feeling desolate for a while.

is old and childless, probably in their current situation, right?

I once thought that the family would continue to live happily until they grew old and left, and the secret would not be discovered.

Can.

She was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep that day, and after hearing the words Su Xiaoran and Qiqi, she suddenly understood: There is no secret in the world that will never be discovered, it is just a matter of time.

For more than 20 years, she has probably been too happy in the past 20 years, so she often forgets that Su Xiaoran is not her own, in her opinion, they have become one and become a family in the true sense.

"Old man...... What do you say I should do? We have broken Xiaoran's heart, and I don't have the face to face her anymore. What about you? You like her so much and treat her like your own daughter, if you wake up, can you tell me and teach me what to do? ”

Su's mother's tense mouth opened, and hot tears slipped down the corners of her mouth.

It is destined to be a night that cannot be peaceful.

Xiang'er made more than a dozen calls in a row, but no one answered, and this time, Teacher Hou couldn't sit still at all. After she walked around the house twice, she suddenly turned back to Xiang'er and said, "Why don't you run errands and go to Xiaoran's house to have a look, I'm worried that something happened to her." ”

Xiang'er received the order, took the errand fee from Teacher Hou, put on her coat and went out.

Teacher Hou was alone at home, looking at the dark night outside the window, listening to the unreassuring wind, and was very anxious.

Xiang'er went out and lingered at the entrance of the community for a while, then simply turned around and went into a nearby shop to sit.

She is not willing to take care of these things, taking care of a disabled old man is already her limit, the arrival of the second elder of the Su family in the past few days has completely broken her bottom line, facing an old man lying on the bed all day long, and she has to keep taking care of him, who wants to do such a job?

However, Teacher Hou is not so careful, Xiang'er has been putting on a bitter gourd face for the past few days, she didn't notice it, just now, the second elder of the Su family finally left, and she even asked her to find Su Xiaoran?

Don't do it!

Xiang'er thought about it, feeling more and more angry, so she simply ordered a cup of hot coffee, planning to go back when she had enough time.

In another part of the city, at this moment, Su Xiaoran was already lying down.

Her phone is placed at the head of the bed, and as is customary, she chooses to mute it before going to bed, and today is no exception. The phone kept flashing under the pillow, glowing faintly in the dark. Su Xiaoran had a dream, in which she went back to the past, to the days when she was still living at home.

Every night, she fell asleep listening to her father's snoring next door, and in the morning, her mother would knock on her door and forcibly pull her up for breakfast.

Those ordinary days were later downplayed by her, and when she self-righteously escaped from the shackles of her parents, she thought she had been given a free sky, but that only threw her into a dark abyss.

How real the scene in the dream was, Su Xiaoran cried with joy, so she hugged her mother tightly. The mother was frightened by her tears, and kept asking her if she had been wronged outside, and the father was still in good health, and was pacing around the house with a wine bottle, scolding her and telling her not to cry.

Su Xiaoran was like this, surrounded by her parents in the middle, crying and laughing, and finally, a white light flashed, and everything came to naught.

No, nothing.

Her home was gone, her parents were gone, and she sat alone in a dark corner, screaming silently.

No!

Su Xiaoran woke up from her sleep and sat up from the bed, sweating profusely.

In the darkness she fumbled for the light, her face buried between her knees in the light of the light, her body still trembling.

I don't know how long it took, but when she finally came to her senses, the sky outside was also dark.

Then the white light came and she lay down again, feeling a splitting headache.

Putting his hand under the pillow, Su Xiaoran took out his mobile phone, originally wanting to see the time, but as soon as the mobile phone screen was opened, the screen was full of missed calls.

All of them were called from Mr. Hou's house, and the time started at 11 o'clock last night and lasted until 1 o'clock in the morning.

Su Xiaoran was shocked, thinking that something must have happened to Teacher Hou, so she hurriedly called the landline at Teacher Hou's house, but no one answered after calling twice, so she panicked even more, so she quickly put on her clothes, went out to stop the car and rushed directly to Teacher Hou's house.
