Chapter Thirty-Three: The Sky Has Fallen
"I see you're already dazed by her, and you don't know whether you're alive or dead. If your parents know about it, your good days will come to an end. After Tang Xiaotang said these words resentfully, he turned around and left.
Jiang Yifan slammed the things in his hand on the ground in annoyance, picked them up again after a while, returned to the dormitory, and continued to complete the homework he had not completed.
Qiao Xing squatted on the side of the road and waited for a long time, crying tired and couldn't cry, but he still didn't see his father's car, Qiao Xing thought to himself that maybe it was a traffic jam, just wait a little longer.
But the sky gradually darkened, until the lights on the side of the road were also turned on, and Mom and Dad had not yet arrived.
Qiao Xing didn't know how long he had been waiting, and what he waited for was a call from his second uncle in the hospital.
At that time, Qiao Xing thought that she had a smooth life in her life, and she had never encountered any strong winds and waves, even if Jiang Yifan was humiliated, she never had a stubborn thought. But when she received that call, she felt that her sky had fallen.
She couldn't remember when she arrived at the hospital, and she stumbled all the way, only feeling that it was dark and she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
There were so many voices around her that she couldn't tell who was who.
"Qiao Xing, you have to hold on...... Uncle will be fine......"
"My sister-in-law has gone...... Your dad is still rescuing ......."
“…… It's the retrograde here that is fully responsible, and both of the other party are dead...... Their daughter has also arrived......"
There were a lot of people talking, some talking to her, some talking to people who looked like police officers in uniform. She seemed to know what was going on from their staccato conversation.
My parents had a tragic car accident on the way to school and collided with a car, Li Shaoling died on the spot, and Qiao Yunyuan was still being rescued.
Qiao Fei was comforting her and telling her to cheer up, although her mother was no longer there, there was still a glimmer of hope that her father was still rescuing.
Qiao Xing listened to Qiao Fei's words, she couldn't care about grief, she felt that she had lost her mother and couldn't live without her father anymore. There is always a little light of hope in life. She barely bred up her spirits and stayed up all night outside the operating room, that whole night was like a lifetime, and Qiao Xing, who had survived, felt that she might be going to lose her head overnight.
Jiang Yifan came in the middle of the night, and he saw Qiao Xing, who was thin, in the corridor outside the operating room. He quickened his pace to take her in his arms at once, and did everything he could to comfort her.
But when he walked up to her, his steps slowed down. He couldn't give her any comfort, and even hugging her was already a luxury.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Qiao Xing raised his head mechanically. Looking at Jiang Yifan with the eyes of a stranger, she didn't make any sound, and the disgust in her eyes already said everything.
Jiang Yifan wanted to stand there like a piece of wood, neither to walk nor to stay. At this time, Jiang Lihua, who returned from the morgue, saw Jiang Yifan, immediately wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xiaofan, go and see your aunt for the last time." ”
Jiang Yifan nodded, and suddenly realized how incompetent he was, and he couldn't even say the simplest words of comfort. Obviously standing in the closest place to her, but I felt so far away from her.
However, in the end, Qiao Yunyuan was not rescued, Qiao Xing's last bit of hope was also extinguished, she had no reason to be strong, and she lost the two most important ones overnight.
It's like two giants holding up the sky suddenly falling, and the sky falls. What she thought was a smooth life began to take a bumpy start from there. She was in pain, she wanted to cry but she couldn't, and then she realized that people probably don't have tears when they are the saddest.
Later, she fell ill, very sick, with a high fever that caused pneumonia, and lay in the hospital for a long time.
During that time, she didn't know how she had come over, night and day didn't seem to change, it was always pitch black.
She tried to tell her parents that her death had nothing to do with her, but every late at night, she would think of the phone call she made to Li Shaoling that day, if she hadn't cried on the other end of the phone that day, then they wouldn't have come in a hurry.
In addition to the second uncle's family, Mo Jinyu would also see her in the hospital after self-study every night, and the two didn't say anything, just glanced at her and left. Finally, he came over in the heavy rain at that time, Qiao Xing was sleeping very deeply, and he didn't even respond to several screams, and Mo Jinyu was scared that she thought she was dead, so she didn't hold back and cried "wow" at that time.
His voice just woke Qiao Xing up, and he looked at Mo Jinyu with wide eyes and confused thoughts. Who knew that Mo Jinyu was crying even more this time, crying and scolding: "I'm scared to death Lao Tzu, I thought you were dead, if you die Lao Tzu, who will you play with in the future."
I don't know if I was scared by him like that, or I was moved, anyway, Qiao Xing cried in the end, and she hugged Mo Jinyu's neck desperately, as if she wanted to strangle him. She feels alive again, because there are still things to cherish in this world, such as friends, such as relatives.
Mo Jinyu laughed when she saw her like this, and with tears in the corners of her eyes, she was very relieved: "That's right, cry, just cry, everything will pass."
Qiao Xing is very grateful to have a close friend like Mo Jinyu in her life, she will always appear when she needs comfort the most, don't be too flowery language, just need a strong shoulder for her to lean on.
Qiao Xing remembered a passage that he had read before, and the general content was: Disasters are cruel, but there is always some love, which will find you through the chaos and make you feel the happiness of being deeply loved in this world. We never know, tomorrow or the unexpected, which will come first.
Life is not as long as we think, death is sometimes a blink of an eye, don't waste time on quarrels, anger, suspicion.
Sometimes, we don't even have time to say goodbye, we don't even have time to say goodbye, we don't have time to take one last look, and we are left with eternal regrets.
Life comes and goes, and goodbye may never be seen again.
Life is short, if you can grasp something, try to hold it firmly in your hand.
While it's still too late, meet the people you want to meet, do what you want, live the life you want, and cherish all the people you meet.
At this point, Qiao Xing finally understood that in addition to life and death, everything else in the world is a trivial matter! There are still people around her who are worthy of her cherishing, and she can't just be decadent.
Because of her serious illness, she successfully avoided her parents' funeral, and I heard that it was the second uncle who handled it, and the aftermath was handled very properly and beautifully. Qiao Xing should be grateful for this illness so that she did not witness the scene of her parents' burial, so she can still subconsciously tell herself that they just went far away.
Later, she moved to Fuli Residence, and Qiao Sihai meant that she was not yet an adult and needed someone to take care of her. can finally face Jiang Yifan day and night, but the former wish has finally become a reality in this desperate situation, which is really ironic.
During this period, Jiang Yifan also tried to comfort Qiao Xing, but was turned away by her every time. It seemed that everything was back in place during that year at the Magnificent Residence, and she finally turned a blind eye to him again, and it was a very difficult process to go from having nothing to say to nothing and finally having nothing to say.
After Qiao Xing moved to Fuli Huating, Aunt Zhang moved with her, and Tang Xiaotang naturally went with her. Jiang Lihua likes Tang Xiaotang very much, and praises Tang Xiaotang for being sensible and well-behaved, honest and diligent. also laughed and said that he wanted a man, and he must marry a girl like Tang Xiaotang as a daughter-in-law.
Qiao Xing listened on the side, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face at some point.
"Second aunt, I think it's impossible to be your daughter-in-law, but if you really like it, you can be your daughter-in-law, anyway, they are also concubines who have intentions, don't you say, cousin!"
When he said this, he was at the dinner table, and the whole family was there.
Although everyone knows that Jiang Yifan and Tang Xiaotang have a close relationship, Jiang Lihua has never thought much about it. But as soon as Qiao Xing said this, she remembered that she had often seen Jiang Yifan giggling with her mobile phone before, but after Tang Xiaotang moved in, she had never seen him like this again. That's what happened.
People are already in front of them, so naturally there is no need to look at the phone and giggle.
Jiang Yifan was eating at this time, and he was almost choked to death by Qiao Xing's sudden words, and his face was flushed. Seeing this, Jiang Lihua basically determined her previous thoughts.
"I also think Xiaotang's child is good, not to mention, it's really a good match with our Xiaofan." Jiang Lihua responded to Qiao Xing jokingly, and Tang Xiaotang, who had been silent, also had a red face, and stammered: "Auntie is joking, Xiaofan and I are just friends." ”
At this time, Qiao Sihai, who has never been very involved in the conversation between juniors, made a rare opinion. first reprimanded Jiang Lihua, saying that it was very inappropriate for her to say these words as an elder and junior. Then he turned to Jiang Yifan and told him to study hard, and he shouldn't think about those messy things at this age.
Qiao Sihai rarely educated Jiang Yifan, Jiang Yifan naturally showed a teachable appearance, nodded and said that he would not disappoint Uncle Qiao.
Jiang Lihua is the most shrewd, although she said this on her lips, she may not think so in her heart. In short, from that day on, Jiang Lihua intentionally or unintentionally asked Jiang Yifan to keep a distance from Tang Xiaotang. Even if she likes Tang Xiaotang, with Tang Xiaotang's family background, it is far from the standard that she can be her daughter-in-law.
As for Jiang Yifan and Tang Xiaotang, only they know best what the relationship between them is. Jiang Yifan knew that Qiao Xing felt that it was his empathy for Tang Xiaotang that caused the two to break up, so he often ridiculed them inside and out.
He endured all kinds of ridicule or deliberate provocation of Qiao Xing one by one, and he would not bother with her. Those days were the most uncomfortable times for her, and if she felt that torturing him would make her feel better, he would do whatever he wanted.
At first, Qiao Xing may still be able to get some pleasure when humiliating him with various words, but when the pleasure is not so obvious, she realizes that she is actually just jealous of Tang Xiaotang. She hasn't let go of Jiang Yifan yet.
