Three months passed quickly, from the end of summer to the cold winter, in the blink of an eye. Xiao Tianai was doing rehabilitation unremittingly every day. Before the second surgery, she had to adjust her body to
In the best condition, perhaps, this is her only chance to stand up again.
"Ah Hao, today is my birthday, can you spend it with me?"
"Ah Hao, I will have the operation tomorrow. After the operation, regardless of success or failure, I will leave China. Just treat it as my farewell, okay?"
"Ah Hao, if the operation fails, maybe tomorrow will be the last day of my life..."
In the office, Jiang Hao frowned and looked at the screen of his mobile phone. During a small meeting, Xiao Tianai sent three WeChat messages. He couldn't help but reply.
In the meeting just now, Chief Jin put all his hopes on him, "Ah Hao, I will retire soon. I really hope to complete this important task before I retire. Now the police
There is no clue over there, and the higher-ups are paying great attention to it, so this may be the only useful clue."
Thinking of Chief Jin's instructions, Jiang Hao no longer hesitated and immediately sent a WeChat message back to Xiao Tianai - "Okay, I'll go there after get off work."
Xiao Tianai asked the nursing staff to prepare everything in advance and asked them to leave work early. The cake was made by herself, and Jiang Hao's favorite hawthorn was added to the cake, as well as the fried sub-steak that she had been busy working on all afternoon.
All the dishes and fruits are his favorite.
Jiang Hao arrived as promised. When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Tianai sitting in a wheelchair looking at him with a smile. She was wearing a white sweater and sitting there quietly. Her eyes were full of tenderness and full of love.
His love is unmistakable.
Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed and coughed twice, "Ahem, where's Auntie?"
"It's cooling down today. It's too cold at night, so I asked them to go back early. It's cold outside. I've prepared hot tea for you. I'll pour it for you." As she said that, she pushed her wheelchair to the restaurant.
Jiang Hao didn't stop her and took the opportunity to look at the whole room. His insightful eyes were different from those in the past.
On the day he was repairing the water pipe, he found a bullet casing in the tool box at her home. He was dumbfounded at the time, and when he was putting the wrench in, he grabbed the bullet casing in his hand.
After he came back, he examined it carefully. Based on his many years of understanding of guns, he concluded that this bullet shell was not a knockoff. The texture, hardness, and brightness were genuine bullet shells.
How could Xiao Tianai, a weak woman, have such a thing?!
After a while, Xiao Tianai brought hot tea, "Ah Hao, here, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. It's so cold outside today, it might snow soon."
Is it snowing? Jiang Hao suddenly thought of Qiao Xinwei. Qiao Xinwei's birthday was coming soon, and so was their first wedding anniversary.
"Ah Hao, hehe, what are you thinking about?"
"No..." Jiang Hao quickly changed the subject, "The heating here is pretty good. I just came in and my whole body was warm."
"Yes, the newly installed radiator is extremely warm. It is much warmer than the heater in the old house in the government compound. In the past, the heater pipe would make a gurgling sound in the middle of the night, but now there is no sound at all."
The two of them were chatting casually. Jiang Hao took off his coat and put it on the sofa together with his briefcase. He was holding hot tea to warm his palms, but he was thinking about Qiao Xinwei, whether she would be home and whether she would have dinner.
Just take yesterday's leftovers and eat a few bites before getting back to work.
He has never thought about Qiao Xinwei as much as he does now.
"Ah Hao, I'm going to have surgery tomorrow. I'm scared and excited at the same time. If I can still stand up, how about we go see the sea together?"
Jiang Hao was a little surprised when he raised his head, but he soon calmed down, "You were abroad at that time, and I won't be able to go abroad in the near future. I can't promise you this now."
Xiao Tianai's smile froze on her face, and her slightly pale face looked a little embarrassed. She smiled dryly and changed the subject, "Haha, let's not talk about this. Let's eat. The food is ready. I'm afraid it will get cold after a long time.
"
"good."
Jiang Hao didn't talk much and ate very quietly. For him, there were two types of meals, one was eating at home and the other was eating out. He never had to pay attention to whether it was delicious or not when eating out.
Just do it.
"Is the pork ribs cooked on the inside? The fire is too high to avoid burning the outside."
"Well, when it's cooked, you fried it directly, right? It should be marinated first, it will be more delicious."
Xiao Tianai smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to still remember this dish. I taught you this dish. I haven't cooked it for a long time, so I am inevitably a little rusty. Let me try your cooking next time."
Jiang Hao found that she always drew him into the situation when she spoke, and he needed to be on guard at all times, which was quite uncomfortable.
"Oh haha, let's talk about it, you may not be free." Seeing his expression drop, Xiao Tianai wisely changed the topic and said, "Light the candle for me."
The flower-shaped one opens when you pull it a little, and it also has musical accompaniment. Xiao Tianai clasped his hands together and made a sincere wish, "I hope that my (yuan) skills (zai) will go smoothly (yi) and (qi)."
In the past, they spent every birthday together. They were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Everyone thought that when they grew up, they would get married and have children to form a happy family. However, things changed. When he was willing to do everything for her, she
They left without saying goodbye, and when he finally started over, she suddenly came back. It's hard to say fate. An almost-almost is an almost-almost.
He was born to be a persistent person. She saved his life, so he was full of gratitude to her. She lost her legs because of saving him. He was grateful but also full of guilt. This feeling was supported by gratitude and guilt.
Filling it up, he mistakenly thought it was love during the window when his mood was not calm.
If Qiao Xinwei hadn't appeared, maybe he would have thought it was love for the rest of his life.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that love is not family affection, let alone gratitude or guilt.
Love means that she is clearly not in front of you but all you can think about is her.
Love is that you can bully her as much as you want but you can't see anyone else saying anything to her.
They say that to love someone, as long as she is happy, it is not necessary to own her, but he is not that open-minded, he wants to be with her completely and forever.
That person is Qiao Xinwei.
"Ah Hao, Ah Hao?" Xiao Tianai saw that he was panicking again, and raised his voice, "Ah Hao, what's wrong with you today? You're always distracted. Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Hao shook his head gently, "No, I'll cut the cake."
"Okay, you must try it. I made it myself. Guess what I added to it."
Xiao Tianai looked forward to it, but when Jiang Hao took a bite and tasted it carefully, but there was no reaction on his face at all, she asked again: "Did you taste it?"
"hawthorn?"
"Well, that's right. Didn't you like to eat hawthorn the most before? It's hard to find fresh hawthorn now. It's inconvenient for me to go out, so I asked my aunt to sell it. She went to three or four supermarkets to buy it."
Jiang Hao only took one bite and put it down silently. He said lightly: "I have a bad stomach, so I can't eat hawthorn."
"..." Xiao Tianai was stunned on the spot and didn't say anything for a long time. She was poured cold water on her on a whim. You can imagine how she felt.
"Tian Ai, it's your birthday. Don't put me first. You've told you many times that I'm married now. I have to take Qiao Xinwei's feelings into consideration when I do anything. I can't be like before.
Then I'll accompany you wherever you want to go."
Xiao Tian's heart ached, and in just a moment, her full expectations turned into tiny pieces. No matter how hard she tried to pretend, she couldn't hold on any longer. Her eyes turned red and she said, "Ah Hao, I have to leave tomorrow after last night's surgery."
I can never come back, are you really willing to let me go?"
Jiang Hao also had a stern look on his face and said, "Isn't this the condition you and my dad agreed upon? I'm not willing or reluctant, I just don't want to do anything that makes Qiao Xinwei sad anymore."
The most painful heartbreak is that the other person's lack of feelings, whether they are willing to give up or not, whether they like it or not, whether they love it or not, has nothing to do with her.
"Ah Hao, tell me honestly, is it because I had the operation that you feel less guilty in your heart? Are you just feeling guilty towards me all this time?"
Jiang Hao looked at her in embarrassment. Is it appropriate to say this today?
"Tell me, you must tell the truth, please."
Jiang Hao sighed and said truthfully: "I used to love you very much, but after you died, my love for you slowly died. Now I only love Qiao Xinwei. It was she who revived my love."
Get up, it's just that I was a little confused when you first came back. God's love, I'm not a saint, my love can't transcend death, love is love, guilt is guilt, I can tell the difference. Yes, if you can pass
Once I get back on my feet after the surgery, I will feel better."
Listening to these words, Xiao Tianai burst into tears, and she shouted like crazy: "Do you think I want to leave you with this hint of 'I am dead'? It's not your dad, it's your dad who took advantage of my inferiority complex to let you go."
I left and planned the illusion of 'my suicide'."
Jiang Hao was startled for a moment, this surprised him, "Why would my dad do this?"
"Because he is worried that his only son will be laughed at by others for marrying a disabled person as his wife, which will affect you and your Jiang family. Because he knows you well enough and he knows me well enough. He knows that I don't want to be a burden to you, and he also knows that
Only death can make you give up on me."
"Ah Hao, you have always regarded your father as a role model, but do you know how many dehumanizing things your father has done behind your back? When something happened to my dad, he not only refused to help but also cut off the relationship. My dad committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime.
Finally, I know that the world is in trouble, but Uncle Jiang and my father are comrades who have gone through life and death. Not only did he not help me, he also tried to kill me. How could he be so cruel?!"
Jiang Hao felt a dull pain deep in his heart, choking on a stone and feeling so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.
