Chapter 157: Happened to meet Li Zibai
It was Huo Tingge on the other end of the phone, he had just finished dealing with the gang, William was dead, and his territory was taken over by himself, it should be said that he was accepted.
As soon as William died, all his business was gone, which would undoubtedly cause some chaos, so some executives came forward and asked Huo Tingge to take over all of them to stabilize the momentum of New York and let those little gangsters who were about to move settle down.
Huo Tingge didn't plan to care, but for some reason, he could only accept it, he had just dealt with a lot of messy things, and the whole person was extremely tired and irritable.
This is more than seeing Xia Ning's call on the screen, his whole person was excited again, but more than that, he was surprised, she never took the initiative to contact her, no matter how big it was, this time it really made him panic.
Xia Ning was slightly embarrassed when she heard his words, and after thinking about it carefully, she really didn't take the initiative to contact him, and she was really a little embarrassed.
But at this moment, she was excited and excited, she wanted to find someone to tell the fact that Father Xia had woken up, and then she thought of Huo Tingge, so without the slightest hesitation, the phone called.
After she dialed it, she suddenly felt a little remorseful, she was too impulsive, in case he was busy, wouldn't it be too long-sighted to do it by herself?
However, hearing Huo Tingge's voice, she faintly felt that he seemed to be looking forward to it.
Xia Ning stammered a little and said, "Mr. Huo, my dad ......"
Over there, Huo Tingge frowned slightly, expressing concern, "Huh? ”
"My dad is awake!" Xia Ning's voice was a little loud, full of joy.
After listening to Huo Tingge on the other end of the phone, his eyes lit up slightly, his brows widened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was also happy for her.
Xia Ning, who couldn't get a response, realized that she was a little too familiar, so she asked cautiously, "Mr. Huo, am I disturbing your work?" ”
"No, I'm glad you informed me about this."
"I'm so happy." Xia Ning said.
"I know, when I go back, I'll help you celebrate!"
"Thank you, Mr. Huo!"
After talking to Huo Tingge on the phone, Xia Ning felt a little calmer in her heart, no wonder some people say that whether it is a happy thing or a troubled thing, as long as there is someone to share with, the more comfortable people will be, Xia Ning thinks that she is like this now.
The next day at work, Xia Ning felt that she was very efficient, more handy at work, and highly concentrated.
At lunch, Fang Yi saw Xia Ning's face smiling every minute, staring at her with a strange expression.
"Are you alright?" Fang Yi asked.
"It's okay, what's wrong?" Xia Ning replied, still smiling at the corners of her mouth.
"Eldest sister, if you keep laughing, I won't be able to eat." Fang Yi said.
"No way, I'm happy!"
"What's so happy that makes me laugh too, debugging code in the morning, I'm dying of sorrow." Fang Yi complained.
"Xiaoyi, my dad is awake!" Xia Ning said word by word, extremely clear.
As soon as she finished speaking, the chopsticks in Fang Yi's hand immediately fell to the ground, and she stammered and asked, "Are you...... You said...... What the? ”
"My dad woke up yesterday, really." Xia Ning pulled Fang Yi's arm and said.
"Really, that's great!" Fang Yi quickly stood up, and then shouted loudly.
The people next to her were all looking at her.
Xia Ning tugged her and sat her down.
"No wonder, you've been smiling, it's me, I'll laugh even more." Fang Yi said with a smile.
"I think God is pretty good to me, and he gave my dad back to me." Xia Ning said seriously.
"Well, I'm sure that all the bad things around you are gone, and it will only be sunny days in the future."
"Yes."
For Xia Ning, Father Xia is her only relative, even if she does everything she has, she must be filial to him, because this is something she should have done a long time ago.
When Xia Ning got off work, she went to the hospital again.
Father Xia was already able to get out of bed and walk, but since he had been lying down for four years, it had been a bit long, so he was a little unsteady in walking, and he had to hold on to the bed to walk.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't you lie down like this? Xia Ning put down the bag and went over to help Xia's father.
"I don't feel anything when I'm lying down, I want to come down and move." Father Xia said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll help you, you walk slowly!"
Xia's father turned around the ward several times under Xia Ning's mother, and then slowly reached the edge of the bed.
Xia Ning brought a glass of water and let Xia's father drink it.
"Ningning, Dad wants to go home!" Father Xia said slowly, his tone full of nostalgia.
If it weren't for Father Xia's words, Xia Ning almost forgot that she still had a home, after returning to Linhai, she was afraid that she would not be able to face Father Xia when she went home, so she kept avoiding it, now that she thinks about it, she is really hopeless, she doesn't even dare to go back to the place where she grew up, it's really hopeless.
"But, Dad, your health is not completely well, so let's stay in the hospital for a few more days!" Xia Ning looked at Father Xia worriedly and said.
Father Xia smiled, and then said: "Dad's body knows by itself, I must not be seriously ill when I wake up, and I must also recuperate later, since it is recuperation, of course I must be comfortable, stay in the hospital all day, ask these things every day, I can smell sick if I am not sick, it is better to go home." ”
Xia Ning thought for a while, Father Xia's words have a certain truth, it is true that many people are afraid of the hospital, not only the smell of medicine, but also those lives that cannot be saved, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when they think of it.
Xia Ning said: "That's right, I'll take the time to go to the doctor to ask in the past few days to see if your body can be discharged, you want to bear with it!" ”
"Okay, you have to work hard, you have to come to the hospital to see me after work, it must be hard."
"Dad, I'm not hard, I haven't done a little bit in the past four years when a woman says responsibility and filial piety, I'm very uncomfortable, now like this, it's not so much hard, it's more like looking forward to it, for four years, I've been thinking about this scene all the time, you read the newspaper at home, I'll come back to you from work, the beautiful days of our father and daughter, I've been thinking about it, so I like this kind of hard work!"
"Child, you have suffered, you have experienced so much, Dad even blamed himself a little, failed to protect you well, let our father and daughter separate for so many years, I am sorry for you, and I am sorry for your mother!" Father Xia lowered his head and said, his voice a little choked.
"Dad, really, it's actually good, let's not think about those unhappy things, you see, I'm still alive, you're awake again, everything will be fine, right?" Xia Ning squatted in front of Xia's father and said with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, let's stop thinking about those things!" Father Xia raised his head and said.
Xia Ning learned some words from Huo Tingge, that is: no matter what you encounter, don't look back, there is nothing to see, and those things that have happened can no longer be changed, so you can only look forward, what is ahead is what you should do or will do, and those are the future that you need to concentrate on what you want to pursue.
This passage corresponds to the current Xia Ning, so she also has to look forward.
It was already nine o'clock when Xia Ning came out of the hospital, and she wanted to stay a little longer, but Father Xia kept urging, she was just worried about her father, so in order not to let her worry, she would listen to him very much, just to reassure him.
Out of the hospital, Xia Ning walked towards the side of the road, and a person walked out of the corner in front of him, Xia Ning lowered his head slightly, but the person looked straight ahead.
When the two passed by, the man stared at Xia Ning is back, and then shouted tremblingly: "Xia Ning?" ”
Xia Ning couldn't help but turn around when she heard someone call her name.
At this turn, both of them were stunned.
In the end, it was Xia Ning who spoke first: "Is it Senior Li?" ”
Seeing the familiar face, hearing the familiar voice, the familiar name, the man was obviously a little excited. Before Xia Ning could react, he hugged her tightly in his arms.
It's her, it's really her!
Only she would call her that, only she would make his calm heart turbulent, only she could make him so excited, it was her! It's just her!
Xia Ning was also very surprised in her heart, she actually met Li Zibai here, and she was not without excitement, and she was happy. Xia Ning didn't push him away, thinking that he should have known what happened to him four years ago, so he would be like this now.
After a long time, Xia Ning shouted softly: "Senior? ”
Li Zibai reacted back this time, quickly let go of Xia Ning, and then said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper!" ”
"Senior, long time no see!"
"You're still alive?" Li Zibai still couldn't believe that the girl he was thinking about was still alive, standing in front of him so vividly.
If this is a dream, it is a little too incredible.
"Senior, let's find a place to talk, I think you have a lot to ask me, right?"
"Hmm!"
The two men found a coffee shop and ordered two cups of coffee.
Li Zibai said first: "Are you really alive?" ”
Xia Ning smiled and said, "Yes, I'm still alive!" ”
"That'...... Why? ”
Xia Ning just wanted Li Zibai to ask, and he also knew where his doubts were.
"Four years ago, I almost thought I was dead, maybe the Grim Reaper didn't like me, so he didn't take me, I was rescued four years ago, I was in Seattle before, and I only returned to Linhai two months ago!"
"I see, fortunately the Grim Reaper doesn't like you, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you in this life." Li Zibai's mood finally stabilized.
"Senior, how are you doing in the past four years?"
Now Xia Ning looked at Li Zibai, and the feeling in her heart that she couldn't say, maybe because she was the first person she fell in love, she couldn't say anything. He still has the impression of being like that, but he is more mature as a person, and he has lost the childishness and simplicity of the student.
Li Zibai also looked at Xia Ning, she was still so beautiful, her personality was still the same as before, but there was less liveliness and sunshine, and more a touch of loneliness and sadness, what did she go through to become like this? Should I ask myself? May I ask?
What would happen to her if asked? Will it bring back painful memories that you don't know?
