Xia Wu looked at Yan Ji's sharp-edged and expressionless face, and he looked at her quietly, and she somehow felt that there was faint sadness hidden in those deep eyes, lingering around her.
She wanted to leave subconsciously, and finally said, "Nicole still owes some of the surgery fee, you can pay it. The doctor said that he will come to change the dressing this week," looking back at the big stupid dog in Lang Lang's arms, sighing He breathed a sigh of relief, "After I'm done, I may not be as flexible as before when I walk."
Looking back, Yan Ji still looked at her silently, she was suddenly afraid to see his eyes, there was a sea in it, she quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute, I'll take you back."
"No need." Xia Wu shook her head and refused, with a self-deprecating arc on her lips, "I think we're on the wrong track."
With such a tactful rejection of his kindness, the gap between the two of them still lies between each other, and everyone knows this well.
Yan Ji just looked at her, the sea in his eyes was still calm and no tide could be seen.
However, because of Qiu Langlang's insistence, Xia Wu did not leave immediately. After a shock in the afternoon, Lang Lang's affection for Xia Wu doubled, and he even fell in love with Xia Wu's sweet and pleasant voice.
Xia Wu had no choice but to stay patiently and help him review one by one how to take care of the injured Nick. Lang Lang had already told Xia Wu that he wanted to be a qualified and dedicated "good nurse".
It's just that when Xia Wu raised her head, Yan Ji didn't know where she was, and asked Lang Lang, the child shook his head.
Xia Wu didn't care. When he saw Yan Ji again, he walked in slowly from the door with a brand new shoebox in his hand. Xia Wu was stunned, and immediately understood what he was doing.
He went to help her buy shoes.
She suddenly became at a loss. Although it was true that she was barefoot because of Lang Lang, once a man bought shoes for her without saying a word, even if he just returned her a favor, this feeling was still very delicate. , a little blushing.
Although Xia Wu didn't know how to react for a while, Yan Ji acted very naturally, "I don't know your shoe size, it may be a little bigger."
In front of Xia Wu is a pair of rivet flat shoes, the style is simple, but there is no lack of fashion elements, and it is very suitable for Xia Wu's denim clothes today. Xia Wu looks at these shoes and the man next to her, and her thoughts are a little chaotic. Na na Said, "Thank you, let you spend money."
"You are welcome, Teacher Xia." Yan Ji's voice was as flat as ever.
After a while, the three parted at the entrance of the hospital. Yan Ji hugged the fat Lang Lang, and Lang Lang hugged the fat dog. The overlapping feeling was a bit funny, but there was a hint of warmth. Xia Wu smiled sweetly and waved goodbye to them. In the evening after the drizzle, they each went in different directions.
Xia Wu kept staring at the new shoes on her feet, walked a few steps, turned her head inexplicably, and looked at the man's generous back from a distance, like a sad silent movie in the night.
A question suddenly popped up in her heart.
A man who obviously has everything, why does he feel that he has lost a lot?
Sneaking back home at night, even though it was the weekend, her mother, sister, and younger brother had activities and were not at home. After taking a shower, Xia Wu looked at her father who was messing around in the kitchen. Her back was lonely and old. She leaned against the door frame I remembered that when I was very young, everyone sat around a table, and my parents left the best dishes for the three of them. They quarreled over who was more and who was less, and the meal passed like this.
When did it start, this excitement is gone forever? When did they all become silent?
The only thing that remains the same, probably will always be the father who cooks delicious food for them wholeheartedly, right?
Xia Wu replaced melancholy with a smile, rolled up her sleeves, "Dad, I'll help you."
Before going to bed at night, Xia Wu received a strange text message: Thank you today, Lang Lang gave you trouble, thank you for saving him, I apologize again for all the previous faux pas. Best regards, Yan Ji.
Xia Wu read the text messages for a while, thinking silently, if it wasn't for today's incident, this proud man would not bow his head and apologize again and again like this, right?
Lying flat on the soft bed, Xia Wu believed that he really loved her nephew.
A caring man who loves children and has a good eye for shoes
Laughed a bit, suddenly not so disgusted.
Going to school the next day, Hai Luo asked Xia Wu to have lunch, and Liao He was also there. In the quiet western restaurant, the two sat opposite Xia Wu, both with dignified faces.
Xia Wu was about to lower her head to cut the steak, when she saw the formation of the two of them, she was taken aback.After a while, he blurted out, "What's the matter with you two? What about the Hongmen Banquet?"
Liao He looked at Xia Wu mysteriously for a while, and tapped the piano rhythmically on the table, "What happened yesterday? Why is my cousin's darling nephew in your hands?"
Xia Wu was about to fortify the entrance with a mouthful of tender steak, but when she heard the wrong tone, she dared to feel that she was a kidnapper. This family has no robber logic, Liao He is, and Yan Ji is too.
She simply stopped eating, her innocence was important, she put down her fork solemnly, and tensed her face, "What do you mean Liao He? Is there any kidnapper as beautiful as me?"
"That's right, what did you say? Do you understand that beautiful girls like us would rather be Pirates of the Caribbean than kidnappers?" Hai Luo also gave Liao He a flirtatious look, with a dissatisfied tone.
Liao He knew that he had said the wrong words and used the wrong words, and he didn't care about flirting with his girlfriend, so his body leaning on the soft seat of the sofa rushed forward, "Is it okay if I said the wrong thing? But Xia Wu, let me ask you about the business, what's going on? You don't know, any small matter involving Lang Lang is a big matter in my cousin's eyes, do you understand that?"
Xia Wu blinked her eyes, and a fog of confusion rose in her eyes, then she sneered without paying attention, "I've never seen an uncle who dotes on his nephew so much, are you sure he's just an uncle and not a father?"
Xia Wu's tone was a bit joking, but Liao He's usually unscrupulous face suddenly became more dignified than ever before, and said, "Xia Wu, Lang Lang is almost an orphan."
Liao He's words were quite shocking, Xia Wu's heart trembled violently, and then, as if being fixed by the golden magic wand of the goddess of magic, her whole body stiffened and her eyes widened and she looked at Liao He for a few seconds. He said seriously, "Liao He, I am Lang Lang's current dance teacher, what is going on, I want you to tell me everything."
? Liao He began to narrate, the more Xia Wu listened, the more chilling she became, her fingers twisted tightly on the tablecloth, her fingertips turned pale.
When Lang Lang was three years old, his family went on an outing to the Grand Canyon. In addition to Lang Lang¡¯s parents, there were also his grandparents in the car. The family who were supposed to enjoy the family relationship went on the road of death that day. Because the heavy rain was closed, they took the risk and took the mountain road. As a result, the recreational vehicle encountered a landslide, and the entire vehicle was washed down the valley, becoming a sacrifice of nature.
Lang Lang's father, as the driver, died on the spot. His grandparents were seriously injured and died. In order to protect Lang Lang, his mother used her whole body to protect him. The brain was seriously injured due to the impact. Although she was sent to the hospital in time, unfortunately she became a vegetable and is now in a vegetative state. Lie in the hospital for four full years, relying on infusion of oxygen to maintain signs of life, only heartbeat, no signs of awakening.
This incident was almost a fatal blow to Yan Ji's parents. The old man simply fell ill and finally left work early, handing over the company's risk to Yan Ji who didn't know anything at the time.
Yan Ji has been in harmony with his sister since he was a child, and the tragedy of his sister's family did not even make him feel hurt. He was pushed to the front desk in advance at a young age, and he was at the center of the turmoil. One can imagine how difficult it was for him at that time , how much pressure you are under.
Liao He narrated this family history almost painfully, his voice was low and hoarse, "No one could bear to see my cousin that year. He lost twenty or thirty catties a year, and it was almost impossible to spend day and night in the office. Became a workaholic, he was only 26 years old at the time, and he didn't know anything about age, but he just survived and handed in a beautiful report card."
Liao He's admiration for Yan Ji was evident in his words, and Hai Luo pushed him, "I heard you mention that the relative you mentioned is your cousin Yan Ji? Then your cousin's child? "
Hai Luo hesitated to speak, Liao He said with a look of unbearable, "Lang Lang is the most pitiful, having a mother is equal to not having a mother, anyway, you also know that my cousin said he was an uncle, but in fact he is almost like being a father. , at such a young age, Lang Lang is still very clingy to him."
"Well, the child is getting older, no matter how much adults dote on him, he can't compare to his biological parents. Last time I went to my aunt's house, Lang Lang had a high fever, talked nonsense, and clamored for a mother. My aunt kept holding her, and Lang Lang cried and asked me Auntie, why does his mother always sleep without laughing, crying or hugging him, and then I saw my cousin leaning against the door frame," Liao He squinted his eyes and stopped, still deeply immersed in the memories of that time, " He just looked at the old and the young on the bed so quietly, looking like he was about to cry or not, he almost made me cry."
