Chapter 21 Stepfather Xiao Mufan
When she and her eldest brother Xiao Yixuan and younger sister Xiao Yijie rushed into the emergency ward of the hospital, the scene in front of them made them unable to believe it no matter what.
Stepfather Xiao Mufan was lying there covered in blood, his head was bandaged so that only two eyes and a mouth remained, his eyes were closed, his right hand was clenched tightly, and his chest could hardly see a trace of undulation. If it weren't for the silver-gray silk robe he wore when he went out, which had been stained with blood so that he could barely see the color, the three siblings would not have recognized this as their ever-vigorous and radiant father.
Xiao Mufan lay upright on the hospital bed, as if he was no longer breathing. The three of them rushed to the hospital bed and shouted loudly, Xiao Yixuan looked at his father's closed eyes in fear, he didn't believe that his father left them so easily, he felt that the world had collapsed around him, the heavens and the earth had lost their color, he screamed loudly, he wanted to call his father back. Xiao Yijie subconsciously cried her father, she was timid since she was a child, she was scared and trembling by her father's bloodstains, her legs were weak and could not support her weak body, she had lost the ability to think, and could only cry mournfully. Chu Yun pulled up her little sister's limp body and let her sit next to her father's hospital bed, she looked at her stepfather's unconscious body, and tears flowed uncontrollably: How can you just leave? Do you still need so many of your loved ones, what about your ambitions? What about your ambitions? Don't you care? She cried out in her heart, reproaching.
In the desperate shouts of the three brothers and sisters, Xiao Mufan's eyes slowly opened a slit and looked at them vaguely. His eyes lovingly fell on his little daughter, who was already crying speechless, and there was too much worry and reluctance in that gaze. This little daughter, who is weak and timid by nature, is the person he is most worried about in this world. After a long time, he turned his gaze to the face of his eldest son Xiao Yixuan and stared straight at him. Xiao Yixuan knelt in front of his father's bed, crying bitterly and said, "Father, do you have anything to say to me?" Say it, I'll listen. ”
Xiao Mufan desperately opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, he just stared at his son, as if he wanted him to promise something. Xiao Yixuan anxiously lay on his father's mouth, trying to hear what his father was saying, but he couldn't hear anything. He looked at his father's resolute and expectant eyes, remembering the worry in his father's eyes when he looked at his little sister just now, and suddenly understood, he grabbed his father's hand tightly, and swore as if saying: "I understand Dad, don't worry, I will take care of my little sister, I swear to you, no matter when and where in this life, I will take care of my little sister like my father, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance." Don't worry, Dad! ”
Xiao Mufan's eyes shot a gleam of relief, and the light seemed to say: "Good son, worthy of my Xiao Mufan's son!" ”
In the end, Xiao Mufan turned his gaze to Chu Yun's body, and Chu Yun clearly saw that his stepfather's eyes were smiling, just like the smile they smile whenever they felt tacit on weekdays. Chu Yun's tears instantly turned into surging water, wave after wave rushed out, she threw herself beside Xiao Mufan, choked and shouted, "Dad......, Dad!" ”
Xiao Mufan's eyes moistened. Although Chu Yun always respected him very much, and the father and daughter got along very well, Chu Yun never called him father. Today's bleak "Dad" made Xiao Mufan's eyes overflow with tears. This was a cry he had been waiting for for a long time, this father made the hearts of their father and daughter closer, and finally made this child he had always been proud of really become his Xiao Mufan's daughter.
Chu Yun lay beside his stepfather, crying silently.
Xiao Mufan looked at this daughter he loved from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes were full of trust. This is a girl who dares to love and hate, brave and self-reliant, he believes that she has enough strength to bear everything, and he tries to shake and stretch out his right hand to her.
Chu Yun held her stepfather's cold hand with both hands, looking at him through hazy teary eyes, she saw her stepfather trying to lift his lips, as if he was saying something. She bent down and put her ear to her stepfather's mouth, listening hard, until at last, she heard the faint, staccato voice: "----- girl, ---- strong ------!" ”
Big drops of tears fell on her stepfather's face, Chu Yun wiped and wiped, she couldn't wipe it clean, she opened a bright smile at Xiao Mufan with tears on her face, that smile was so bright, so bright, it made Xiao Mufan's eyes shine. Xiao Mufan's eyes were filled with a smile again, and he closed his eyes with relief.
