Frank Snack Bar.

It was already dark, and the wind was calm tonight, not as unscrupulous as a few days ago, even if the window was open, it did not sway at all, only occasionally felt a cool feeling from a certain place and drifted into people's hearts.

Xiaomeng was lying on the bed, her face pale. Frank was back, and although he hadn't been seen yet, Xiaomeng knew it must be him as soon as he heard the footsteps outside the door.

After all these years, the footsteps of his daily home have never changed. Hearing her footsteps getting closer and closer, Xiaomeng struggled to get up, just as the door was pushed open, Frank appeared in the doorway, and when he saw her sitting up half by herself, he hurriedly came in to help her.

"Get up and do something."

He tried to help her down, but she refused. "Did you get the medicine?" Her dark eyes stared at him, something she rarely looked at him like that, except when she needed to.

Frank obeyed her, told her to sit up, and then, groping in his pocket for a long time, he was unwilling to take his hand. Xiaomeng reached into his pocket by himself, and the two tugged, Xiaomeng got angry: "What are you doing?" ”

"Do you have to eat it? Can you stop eating? ”

"It's none of your business! Take it! "It's unreasonable when Dream starts, but fortunately, Frank is used to it, and he has never objected to her opinion, even if she is self-harming.

Watching Xiaomeng take the medicine, Frank's long-held heart finally came out. "You care so much about him. Do you care, can you even want your own life? ”

“You know nothing. Just leave me alone.”

Xiaomeng turned her head sideways, she looked very uncomfortable after taking the medicine, she frowned slightly, her white face like white paper was slightly sweaty, Frank thought she had a fever, and reached out and touched her forehead, normal.

He was anxious, took her hand and said, "Shall we go to the hospital?" Don't joke with your life. ”

"I can't go to the hospital, I can't let my mom find me. Thou shalt not tell her. Dream stared at Frank, afraid that he would betray himself. Frank gritted his teeth, angry and anxious, angry at her willfulness, infatuation, anxious about her condition, didn't she know that she was terminally ill?

"I can't listen to you anymore this time, I have to go to the hospital!" After Frank finished speaking, he directly picked up Xiaomeng and was about to go out the door, Xiaomeng struggled to the death, and finally had to bite his arm hard, Frank screamed, let go of his hand, and put Xiaomeng on the ground.

"As I said, I don't need you to take care of my business."

"But I'm your husband!"

"It used to be, but not anymore. If you insist on sending me away, then I will let you never find me. Xiaomeng raised her chin, she always did what she said, Frank was defeated, discouraged and took off his coat, threw it on the ground hard, and stepped on it a few more times.

"Why? What am I not doing as good as him? Do you know you are sick?you are dying!”

Xiaomeng had tears in his eyes, and stubbornly spat out a word from his lips: "I am willing to die." ”

Frank closed his eyes, there was nothing he could do at the moment, he could only cover his face with his palms, if he could, he really wanted to take her away immediately, it didn't matter where she went, as long as there was no more his name in that place.

Xiaomeng struggled to get up and returned to the bed, she leaned against the head of the bed, staring at her phone in a daze with a pair of empty eyes. In the mobile phone, there is a only photo of Chenxi, which is still a photo of him in high school, in the photo, he is wearing a school uniform, with a cold and unruly face, she still remembers that it took her a lot of words to ask him for this photo, he is a person who does not like to take pictures, and the few photos he has are pitiful.

Now, she could only drag her sick body, lying in a place where he was out of sight and out of mind, secretly thinking about him. She didn't have time to tell him that she still loved him, she loved him very much, maybe her various behaviors made people feel intimidating, even terrible, but if they didn't love to the bones, who would want to put themselves in such a humble position?

She loved, she couldn't see through, she couldn't let go, she still loved.

Frank, who finished sprinkling the fire, saw that Xiaomeng kept his original posture again, he knew that all this was wasted, yesterday, she suddenly returned to his side after disappearing for a long time, and before he had time to be happy, she fell ill in his arms, in the dream, she kept holding his hand and shouting Chenxi's name, saying that it was false not to be sad, but at this moment, he was most concerned about her condition. She is already seriously ill, and she has been on medication to keep her alive all these years, and she has not fully recovered. Now, in order to be able to see him more in her lifetime, she gave up the treatment, and she crossed the oceans, crossed the mountains, and followed his shadow here. Even if he already has something else to love.

I can't say whose fault it is, maybe it's the wrong time, maybe it's not enough fate, sometimes Frank laughs at himself, he often persuades Xiaomeng to forget Chenxi, but how can he let it go?

He also loved her humbly, even if he knew that she had someone else in his heart, he was willing to be by her side all the time, if she needed to.

……

"Where are you going?" Seeing that Frank was about to walk out, Xiaomeng asked.

"I'll go out for a while." Frank said and opened the door with his hand, but Xiaomeng suddenly stopped: "Don't go, stay here, stay with me." ”

He froze for a moment, closed the door again, sat down on a chair in the room, and looked at her in silence. "It's okay, go to sleep."

Xiaomeng put down her mobile phone, she was already groggy after taking medicine, and because her body was already weak, she lay down at this time and quickly fell asleep.

Looking at her sleeping appearance, Frank didn't know whether to laugh or cry, after a few years of married life in name only, the only tacit understanding they had and the connection was this, right?

Little dreams can be scared, especially when night comes. It was only at this time that she would take the initiative to ask him to stay and guard her in a certain corner of the room, so that she could sleep peacefully.

A breeze blew in, Frank was afraid that Xiaomeng would catch a cold, so he got up, closed the window softly, walked to the head of the bed again, leaned down and left a kiss on her forehead.

“You are a idiot.”

She was asleep, and it was time for him to quit. That night, Frank sat alone on a swing in the courtyard, with a bottle of wine in his hand, and drunk alone in front of the vast universe.

……

Chenxi had a dream, a nightmare.

It had been a long time since he had dreamed of his dead parents, but this night, when he had just fallen asleep, the scene of that year reappeared again.

He's still a teenage boy, very naughty, and doesn't care about a lot of things. The family drove on the highway, and his father, who was driving, was educating him, saying that he did not study well and that he was not at all worried. The mother on the side has been speaking for him, saying that boys were just a little troublesome when they were young, and they will naturally be sensible when they grow up.

He was not convinced, feeling that his father was always educating him in his old way, and he did not look down on that way of education at all. He casually resisted a few words, and his father came up in a rage, however, before he could start scolding him, an oncoming truck hit him directly, and the car they were in turned over on the spot. He felt a violent blow to his head, and then, when he was half-closed in his eyes, he suddenly saw Qiao Jiang, he appeared in front of him so blatantly, he vaguely heard some people's voices, some said that his parents had died on the spot, and others said that he had received a strong blow to the head and had to be operated on immediately......

He tried to open his eyes and look at them again in agony, but he couldn't help it, as if a powerful force was pulling at him, and he passed out.

When he woke up, his pillow was mostly wet, his entire forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be moist.

Chen Xi turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, and felt unusually cold, so he pulled the cup and covered it all the way to his neck, only to feel a little warmth. His mood has not calmed down, as if, just now he has experienced a kind of life and death again, since his parents left, he has never dreamed of them again, he is selectively forgetting them, forgetting those painful experiences, ten years have passed, the original vague memory has reappeared again, however, why did Qiao Jiang's face appear in the dream this time?

Could it be that he has been fighting against Qiao Jiang these days, so he has brought his fear of him into his dreams?

I don't know, Chen Xi has been trembling in awe, he is rarely like this, he is inexplicably helpless like now, he needs some warmth, some popularity, so he called Su Xiaoran, fortunately, she did not turn off the phone, and the voice of her waking up from her sleep came from the phone.

"It's okay, I just miss you suddenly." Hearing her voice, he calmed down a little, and because he didn't want her to worry, he lied.

Su Xiaoran giggled and said, "I had a dream just now, I dreamed of the scene of my first business trip with you, I was eating ramen, you snatched my ramen to eat, and you took it for granted." ”

"yes, there's a chance to take you there again to make up for my mistakes, so you don't have to worry about your ramen that night."

Chenxi had already sat up, he walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked down at the night of the city, only lonely starlight, looking down from a high place, those silent waiting street lamps are indeed very much like stars in the sky, illuminating everyone looking for their way home.

Sleepy, he decided to get up and continue to fight for the dream left by his parents.
