The night Lin Chen left was the most chaotic night in Qin Yu's memory.

The hallway, which was empty a second ago, was overcrowded after a phone call.

The second brother came first, and the second brother was originally halfway there, so he came to guard the eldest brother for him tonight.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people came, who were Lin Chen's leaders and comrades-in-arms.

The scene of several iron-blooded tough guys crying until they lose their voices is really unforgettable.

After that, there were Bai Xu, the uncle and aunt of the Lin family, as well as the other elders in the courtyard.

Speaking of which, only the old man of the Lin family and Lin Xi are missing.

The old man of the Lin family is not in good health, and the uncle of the Lin family has not thought about how to talk about it.

As for Lin Xi's side, Uncle Lin has also been hesitating.

At that time, Lin Xi's situation had just improved, and his temperament became a little more cheerful.

No one dared to call her.

Including him, too.

It was the first time he was so timid, and the first time he didn't dare to speak when facing Lin Xi.

But someone has to make this call, Lin Xi wants to know.

He first talked to Lin Xi's uncle on the phone, and his uncle knew about Lin Chen yesterday, but he was abroad and could only rush back tomorrow.

There was silence for a while, and then said, "Have you informed Xixi?" ”

"Not yet."

"I'm still on a transit flight, and I won't be in Beijing until the morning. Xixi is only her grandparents over there now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on alone. Qin Yu, are you convenient now? ”

After a while, he said, "I'll go and get her." ”

He still hasn't forgotten that after the phone was connected that day, without waiting for him to speak, Lin Xi asked him intermittently: "Aren't you coming for my birthday either?" Qin Yu, it seems like you haven't come to see me for a long time......"

Because of nervousness, she didn't speak fast, he had long been used to it, but at this time, it was undoubtedly a Ling Chi for him.

She seemed to be asking something, but he didn't care about it at the time, and called her in a calm voice: "Lin Xi." ”

"What's wrong?"

His tone seemed too serious, and she seemed to be frightened.

"Let's not have a birthday first, okay?"

"......" The breathing on the other side of the phone stopped.

After a while, her voice trembled and asked, "Aren't you coming?" ”

Yes.

Not just tomorrow, she needs it, and he will definitely go.

But he also understood that after the phone call was over, the decision was not in his hands.

There was a dead silence in the safe passage of the hospital, dim and cold.

He leaned against the door and clenched his phone, his voice so hoarse that he didn't even recognize it as his voice for a moment.

"Lin Xi, are you at home now? I'll have someone pick you up now. ”

He still didn't dare to mention it on the phone.

In order to save time, he asked a friend in the city to send Lin Xi over.

In the two hours he waited for her, he stood at the gate of the hospital, looking at the passing vehicles, and kept thinking about how to talk to Lin Xi.

Bai Xu came out to look for him and kicked the cigarette butt at his feet.

"Is she coming?"

"Hmm."

"Did the third brother tell her?"

He didn't answer.

Bai Xu: "Third brother has figured out how to speak?" Or, let Uncle Lin speak. ”

At that time, Bai Xu was also flustered.

No one thought that Lin Chen would leave.

They didn't tell Lin Xi about his serious injury at first, because the situation was critical at the beginning, and before the rescue came out, the uncle of the Lin family also felt that he couldn't let the old man of the Lin family and Lin Xi worry.

Because speaking of which, Lin Chen is Lin Xi's only reliance.

At that time, the operation went well, and in the first two days of the subsequent observation, the doctor also said that Lin Chen's condition was okay.

He originally thought that when Lin Xi finished her birthday, he would take her to the hospital to see Lin Chen.

It's just one day away.

He rarely saw Bai Xu so nervous, "Third brother, we didn't let Lin Xi see the last time the eldest brother saw him." Will she hold a grudge against us? ”

"Although...... We are also kind, but third brother, we are still wrong, right? ”

They all know one thing very clearly, even if Lin Xi is reasonable, there will be a gap between him and them in the future.

Because that was her last closest relative besides her elders.

She also said some time ago that her birthday wish this year was to write a letter to Lin Chen.

asked him if this would have an impact on Lin Chen, if he could send it out, and if someone would receive it.

He promised to help her inquire.

Now that Lin Chen is back, he ...... Gone again.

"I don't know how to explain to Lin Xi, I don't think she will listen to the explanation." Bai Xu was still talking to himself on the side.

"Will she hold a grudge against us for the rest of her life?"

Lin Xi came with her grandparents. My grandparents didn't seem to know, but they came with me because they were worried.

When she got out of the car, she saw a few eye-catching big characters at the entrance of the hospital, and asked him worriedly if her grandfather had another physical problem.

Bai Xu said no.

She asked again if it was an uncle and aunt.

As if using the method of elimination, she reported them one by one.

At last......

She looked at him with red eyes, "Yes, yes...... Is it brother, brother? ”

"It's big brother." It's still Bai Xu's voice.

"Isn't he out of town? What's uncomfortable? Hurt? She spoke very quickly, without a pause this time.

This time, Bai Xu didn't speak again.

Lin Xi grabbed his sleeve violently and turned his head to look at him.

"The eldest brother was seriously injured during the mission, and he was transferred to Beijing three days ago for rescue. At first, the doctor said that he was in good condition......"

"And now?"

She looked at him, the light in her eyes faltering. She was so smart that she could have guessed just by looking at his reaction. I just couldn't believe it, and I still pinned my hopes on what he had to say next.

He never wanted to disappoint her, but this time, he couldn't help it.

That day was a nightmare for Lin Xi.

For him, too.

It was past midnight that day, and it was already her birthday.

No one remembers, no one cares, including herself.

Everyone was immersed in the sadness of Lin Chen's departure, and Lin Xi even cried and fainted in the corridor.

She is obviously still a child, and there are too many beautiful stories waiting for her at this age.

But she had to watch her loved ones leave one after another in less than a year.

She couldn't come to terms with reality.

Just like Bai Xu thought, when Lin Xi knew that they didn't tell her about Lin Chen's injury in the first place, at that moment, she looked at them with obvious hatred in her eyes.

At that time, Uncle Lin tried to make it clear to her, but she was emotionally broken and couldn't listen to anything.

"Uncle." He shook his head lightly at the uncle, wanting to give her enough space to vent.

Even if the final anger is vented on him.

He doesn't care.

The hallway in the middle of the night was much quieter than it had been a few hours ago.

Lin Xi sat in the corner crying and his shoulders were still shaking, he crossed the others, walked next to her and sat on the ground with her.

No one knew how to comfort her, and his hand was raised and lowered, and after a few repetitions, he gently nudged her head and made her lean on his shoulder.

"Lin Xi, I'm sorry."
