She packed her bags and rebooked the nearest flight, and when she got off the plane, her legs were weak.

For twelve hours, she shuttled through the clouds, and her mind was full of the voices of two old men—

"Tilt, eat more, you exercise a lot every day, and you're not afraid of being fat."

"It's so beautiful to dance, when grandma returns to China, you must go to see my family's performance in the theater, and when the time comes, she will take grandma there, grandma won't grab tickets hahaha......"

"Dumping, grandpa bought wild ginseng today, grandma asked someone to stew chicken soup, put a little in it, and wait for Tilt to come back from school to drink wow......"

"How did my dump become someone else's doll, wow. It's okay, it's okay, I often come to grandma's place to play when I have time, it's all the same, it's still a good boy of grandparents......"

"That little bunny is not good for you, wow? Grandma asked him to ......"

"Where did I put the bracelet I bought for them, take it out and put it on the child......"

Her own grandparents died early, and she hadn't seen them.

But the grandparents of the Gu family have always loved her as their own granddaughter.

When they were all young, they were given infinite tolerance and care.

The once powerful characters, in old age, are just carrying a rattan chair and holding a folding fan in their hands, sitting on the green grass, looking at their children and grandchildren laughing.

The two kind-hearted old men suddenly disappeared into the torrent of time, just like her parents had done a few years ago.

She has experienced it, so she can't imagine what kind of state Gu Yuheng is in now.

Until she reached the entrance of the hallway on that floor.

The words "during surgery" lit up bright red.

Outside the door of the operating room, she saw that the man who had always had a straight back and was cold and noble in the past had bent his spine for the first time, like overwhelmed rice in a wheat field.

"Jade Heng ......"

She walked up to him and dared to call him by his first name for the first time.

The pungent smell of disinfectant from the hospital was particularly noticeable around him.

Gu Yuheng's shoulders trembled obviously, and when he raised his head, his eyes were a little blue after not resting for a long time.

"Why did you come back so soon......" Gu Yuheng's voice was hoarse, but he still tried to spit out every word clearly, "How long have you been on the plane?" Tired or not? ”

"I changed to the first class." Li Niantian sorted out the broken hair in front of him for him, "How is grandparents?" How could it be ...... all of a sudden?"

"Grandpa had a sudden cerebral infarction, and when he sent it over, he was no longer able to do it......"

Gu Yuheng also seemed to have something shiny in his eyes, he lowered his head again, let the thing slide his eyelashes and fall, smashing an irregular shape on the ground, and then raised his face again, pretending that nothing had happened, but the tails of his eyes were red.

He sniffled, looked away from Li Niantian's gaze, looked at the door of the operating room, leaned the back of his head against the cold white wall, and continued in a cold voice, "Grandma didn't work in two hours, and now she is rescuing ......."

He still looked so cold, so unkind.

The facial features were already as sharp as a knife, and at this time, the thin and sharp lip line was tightly pursed, and the cheeks were also tense because of restraint. The tail of the raised eye is a phoenix tail that has been stained with fire, and it is hard to guarantee when he will burn himself to the ground.

People who are usually so towering and unshakable are like empty wheat straw, with a kind of futile toughness, but in fact, they can be folded in their hands with an external force.

Li Nian looked at his cold side face, and suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged him into his arms.

Feeling Gu Yuheng's body, there was a significant shock.

But she didn't let go.

Instead, he tightened his arms, hugged Gu Yuheng's shoulders, and rubbed the hair on his sideburns with his ears.

I found that such a cold and arrogant person, but his sideburns were unexpectedly soft.

She clumsily followed Gu Yuheng's appearance of comforting her when she was a child, and gently patted his back.

I want to say something, but I don't know how to comfort him.

Maybe they both have a hunch in their hearts, knowing that some words are like an unrealistic dream when they say them.

She remembered that before she went to the UK this time, Grandma Gu's complexion was unexpectedly good-looking.

Grandma took out the jade bracelet that her grandfather had been keeping, handed it to Li Niantian, stroked her face, and said with relief: "Our family is tilting, it's a big child, and it's going to a bigger stage, grandma is happy." ”

"Grandma......" she blushed rarely, a little bit of a little daughter's coquettishness, "I've been there many times, how can you say so exaggerated." ”

"Hey, that's different, it's different......," Grandma took her hand, "This time we are pouring our own choreography and self-directing, and the meaning is definitely different." When Tilt comes back, Grandma will make a table of delicious food for Tilt to reward Grandma's good granddaughter. ”

"Okay, grandma," Gu Yuheng stopped what the two of them were going to say next, and handed her the luggage, "Besides, if you can't catch the plane, her group is still waiting for her." ”

"You still say," Grandma Gu poked Gu Yuheng's arm with her finger in disgust, "It's all your fault, saying that there is something in the hospital, and you can't send it over, otherwise I will follow me to the airport to deliver my little baby?" ”

"Yes, yes, blame me, blame me." Gu Yuheng nodded obediently and coaxed her grandmother, "But the surgeries have been arranged a week in advance, and I can't help it." When she comes back, I'll take you to pick her up, okay? ”

"Humph......"

"Okay, grandma, Brother Yuheng is very busy," Li Niantian blinked, "Besides, of course, the patient's condition is more important than the relationship between children and daughters." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you, one or two, are busy with their careers, and until now, they are all singles." Grandma Gu finished laughing and scolding, and began to hint frantically.

"If you want grandma not to be verbose, that's fine, if grandma can have a little great-grandson, then grandma won't care about anything. Grandma, she teases my great-grandchildren every day......"

"That, they're urging me......" When Li Niantian heard this, he didn't dare to look at Gu Yuheng, dragged the suitcase and turned around and fled, "Grandma, hurry up and go back to rest......"

And now she's back.

There wasn't a table of good food, and there was no waiting for grandma to pick her up.

The lights in the operating room went out, and the medical staff in surgical gowns came out and bowed deeply to Gu Yuheng.

The old man who made those promises couldn't wait for the great-grandson she had in mind after all.

Gu Yuheng's footsteps floated twice, and he barely stood firm against the wall behind him.

The white-haired doctor sighed, stepped forward, and patted Gu Yuheng's shoulders with both hands, "Xiao Gu, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, and as a doctor, you must learn to face death well." ”

Li Niantian looked at the seemingly invincible person who had always been shielding others from the wind and rain, and showed such a helpless look overnight, even his colleagues could see it.

After the Gu family and Gu Xiaotang rushed over, the ward was filled with crying and suppressed sorrows.

Gu Yuheng stood at the end of the bed, quietly staring at the serene-looking old man lying on the bed.

The eyes were closed, never to be opened again, not full of quirky smiles, and secretly said to him, "Grandma wants to have a great-grandchild." ”

"When you have great-grandchildren, grandma will take them to play every day, and you can do whatever you want."

The bark-like wrinkled hands would no longer hold their hands and tell them over and over again.

The silver filaments are frozen in the last moments, will not grow again, and after the last pruning, they are frozen into the final picture.

Today is a rare sunny day in winter.

There is no warm sunlight pouring in through the windows, giving the last glimmer of luster to those who have passed away peacefully.

In the warm day, in her eyebrows, you can still vaguely see her peerless appearance when she was young.

Gu Yuheng held the railing at the end of the hospital bed, and waited until the cold iron was slightly hot in his hand before letting go.

Walked out of the hospital room.

Li Niantian followed from a distance.

Arriving at the artificial lake in the grove behind the hospital, Gu Yuheng finally stopped.

He found a place where he could get some sunlight, and he didn't mind the dirt on the grass anymore, and sat on the ground, his arms folded behind his back, looking up at the sun that had just risen in the sky.

The face had regained its composure from the initial loss of soul, and there was no particularly big expression.

Li Niantian knew what it meant to be quiet before the storm.

She walked up to him gently, hesitated for a moment, leaned back as he did, stretched her arms behind her to hold on, and then approached his hand, moving little by little, finding his.

Hold it slowly.

Gu Yuheng seemed to realize her arrival at this time, the hand that was held seemed to have been electrocuted, and she subconsciously wanted to escape.

But it was held down tightly.

He stopped struggling, his stiff neck slowly turning until he met her eyes.

"If you want to cry, cry," Li Niantian sat up straight, holding his hand with one hand, but the other hand touched his eyes, "There is no one else here." ”

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was hoarse, but he still said coldly, "I'm a doctor." He emphasized, "I have seen too many births, old age, sickness and death. ”

"But it's your grandma." Li Niantian's eyes were filled with hot springs, which densely wrapped him and soaked him, "You should also have seven emotions and six desires." ”

There was pity, sympathy, empathy for pain, and something else in the spring.

Before he could tell the difference, she pounced on him.

There are really some differences in the body sizes of the two people, just from the current situation of the two of them, Li Niantian can only become kneeling and sitting, so that he can be a little taller than Gu Yuheng, and then hug him into his arms.

The tip of the nose is crazily wrapped in a faint coconut aroma.

It is a taste that belongs to Li Niantian, the richest coconut fragrance mixed with a little milky sweetness.

Coupled with the rosin in the forest, he was like thunder in an instant.

His fingers gripped the barren yellow meadow of winter, and all his sanity finally collapsed in this embrace.

Li Niantian felt the temperature on her shoulders accompanied by wetness, and then the hands that sheltered her from the wind and rain finally wrapped around her waist.

It's like a man in the water clutching the last straw.
