Xiao Wanqing also regained her mood and returned to work. The backlog of work in the past six months is destined to make Xiao Wanqing more tiring than a college entrance examination student. But she must work hard, and work harder. Chu He, who has become a "waste", is no longer arrogant.
Xiao Wanqing has to rely on wealth and power to make up for the lack of skills. She can't help in a fierce fight to the death. But she can.
Although Chu He became a disabled person, his body's recovery of functions still shocked the doctors. The originally planned three-month recovery period was actually shortened to one month by Chu He. He got his wish and left the hospital filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.
.
I don’t know whether it’s because he’s used to being alone or because the super master doesn’t stand alone because he doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Chu Lin left the hospital on the day Chu He was discharged from the hospital. He didn’t take a single cloud with him. Chu He felt helpless about this. But the old guy was already gone.
After staying with him for half a year, even though he was in a coma, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. After returning to the hotel and resting briefly for a few days, Xiao Wanqing proposed to return to Baicheng. This ended the long and difficult journey to the west.
road.
…
As soon as school was over, Huo'er hurried out of school to take a taxi. He declined the karaoke invitation from his best friend Yuanyuan. He didn't even have time to taste his favorite chicken cake on the roadside. He hurried home.
It’s been half a year.
I have lost contact with my uncle for half a year.
Not to mention Xia He, who was waiting at the door every night, even she, a heartless little loli, was getting more and more worried and confused.
Where did the uncle go?
Why can't I get through the phone? Why can't I call home?
Has he forgotten himself and Sister Xia?
Or - he's dead?
Thinking of the latter, the courageous little Loli involuntarily shrank her neck and her spine went cold.
"Sister Xia!"
The little Loli opened the door and shouted excitedly towards the hall.
This is a necessary task for her when she returns home every night. For no other reason than that, she just hopes that the cold home will look lively. It will not look like an ancient house where no living person has lived in a hundred years.
Little Loli's call did not receive a response, but she smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. She knew that Sister Xia must be cooking in the kitchen.
As expected. When she threw down her backpack and entered the kitchen, Xia He was dazing in front of the stove with a spatula in one hand. The braised pig's trotters stewed in the pot had a faint smell of paste. It was obviously overcooked. Xiao
Loli hurriedly grabbed the spatula from Xia He's hand and put the burnt pig's trotters on the bottom of the pot into a plate. She said with a sweet voice: "Sister Xia, you can take a rest in the living room first. I'll do it."
After regaining consciousness, Xia He shook his head slightly and said, "Let me do it. You go wash your face. You can eat it right away."
Of course, the little Loli refused to do it. It’s not like Sister Xia had never been burned because of being in a daze. The Little Loli didn’t dare to let similar things happen again. So she pushed Xia He out, pressed her down on the sofa in the living room and said, “Sister Xia, please watch a while.
TV. I’m really good at it now.”
Xia He couldn't resist the little loli, so he had to sit in the living room and watch TV.
But when her eyes fell on the screen, there was no focus in her eyes, and she fell into empty contemplation.
After losing contact with Chu He for a month, Xia He would often fall into a daze. But she could still maintain normal study and work. After being unable to contact Chu He for three months, she fell into vicious insomnia. She couldn't wake up during the day, and she couldn't sleep at night.
I can't sleep no matter what. Not to mention work and study, I don't have enough energy to deal with even the most basic housework. Now, Chu He has lost contact with her for half a year. She no longer has insomnia, but she is like a walking zombie. In addition to taking care of the little Lolita's life
Daily life. No longer do anything related to life, including work.
After her mother passed away, Xia He also survived the most difficult time. She worked hard to make her life better and better and more comfortable. But now, she seems to have lost the motivation to live. She can't sit down and read a book.
, can’t sit down to settle accounts, and even loses consciousness several times while cooking. Let alone live happily like a normal person.
She asked the school to suspend her studies without specifying the time of suspension. In view of her excellent academic performance and special enrollment, the school approved Xia He's suspension without any reason. However, the premise was that she could suspend her studies for up to half a year. If she did not continue to study after half a year,
Returning to school will automatically disqualify him from entering the school. But to Xia He now, it really doesn't matter anymore.
She had no intention of taking care of the prosperous bar. She left it to a few reasonably capable staff and gave herself a long vacation. She also didn't tell the staff when she would be back.
In the past few months, apart from washing and cooking for little Lolita, Xia He spent most of the time standing at the door and looking at the end of the street. This was true during the day and also at night. Sometimes the little Lolita would wake up at what time in the morning to urinate.
The light in the living room downstairs was still on. But she didn't dare to go downstairs, nor did she dare to persuade Xia He. She didn't know how to persuade Xia He. She was even afraid of seeing Sister Xia's empty eyes.
Xia He has undergone tremendous changes in the past few months. How about the little Lolita?
The little loli who used to take credit even for peeling a few fruits has now learned to cook, fold her own quilts, and even learn how to take care of others.
The former little Lolita was taken care of by Xia He like a little princess. She lived like a fairy tale. She had everything she wanted. Not to mention washing and cooking, she didn't even need to do such effortless things as cleaning the dishes.
But now, she will always rush to do it because she knows that Xia He is not in the mood to do anything related to life.
The light above the dining table is as warm as ever. But this warmth is only on the surface and cannot shine into the hearts of these women whose souls have nowhere to rest...
When Chu He was around, Xia He always shuttled through the kitchen with a happy smile on his face, serving rice and soup to the pair of living treasures. The happiest thing at the dinner table was watching Huo'er and Chu He finish their meal in a hurry.
She cooked the food. But now, Chu He is not here
The food was never finished, and the little Loli seemed not as greedy as before. She stopped moving her chopsticks after a few bites. Xia He forced her to eat more several times. But the little Loli
He always smiles and shakes his head: No need. I have lost weight recently.
Lose weight?
Who should I show to lose weight?
After dinner was finished in an extremely cold atmosphere, the little Loli rushed to wash the dishes and cut a fruit plate for Xia He who was sitting on the sofa in a daze. Even though she knew Xia He wouldn't eat it, she was still willing to do it.
.Just like Xia He took care of her before.
After washing the dishes, little Loli didn't dare to go to the living room to stay with Xia He. Every time she stayed with Xia He, she would always think a lot about Chu He. The more she thought about it, the more she felt
She was so congested and suffocated that she would rather sit on the pony in the kitchen. At least she could try to do something to distract her attention. For example, eating leftover fruit. When people try to eat, they always look uncomfortable.
So sad
Kindness. After eating the fruit, Little Loli took out a box of ice cream from the kitchen. It was Chu He’s favorite Haagen-Dazs. Although Chu He had been missing for half a year, every time Little Loli and Xia He went to the supermarket,
They always buy some Haagen-Dazs. This has become a tacit understanding and habit they have developed. Because they are still waiting for one night to get up to go to the toilet and find Chu He hiding in the kitchen eating Haagen-Dazs.
.
It’s been half a year.
Every time when the little Lolita waited for Xia He, who had fallen asleep in the early morning, to return to the room, she would secretly run to the kitchen and sit for a while. She would sit on the pony that Chu He bought. She would do nothing, just holding her chin in a daze.
"Woooo..."
The little Loli was trying hard to eat Haagen-Dazs when she suddenly heard a slight choking sound coming from the living room. She felt nervous and immediately got up and walked to the living room.
Xia He is crying.
Xia He finally cried.
When she saw the tears flowing from Xia He's eyes, the little Loli's nose felt sore and her eyes immediately became blurry. The warm liquid rolled down like a spring and was difficult to contain.
Haagen-Dazs is not delicious!
Not tasty at all!
Lollipops don’t taste good!
Not tasty at all!
Stir-fried shredded beef is not delicious!
It never tastes better!
Xia He's tears ignited the sadness that the little Loli tried hard to hide. It was about to burst out. It surged out like a flood that burst a dam. It couldn't be stopped no matter what.
She walked to Xia He with blurred vision, sat on the soft sofa but could not feel the warmth at all, and gently hugged Xia He who was choking in a low voice. She lost her voice and said: "Sister Xia, don't cry..."
She asked Xia He not to cry.
But she cried harder than Xia He.
It’s been half a year.
Xia He held it in for half a year.
Didn't she hold it in for half a year?
They always believed that Chuhe would come back.
When they lost contact for a month, they comforted each other and found enough reasons to comfort each other and themselves.
At two months, they gradually began to feel uneasy.
At three months, they began to be afraid. Afraid that Chu He would never appear in their lives again. Afraid that they would never see Chu He again in their lives.
now--
Chu He has been missing for half a year.
They finally couldn't stand the pressure and the longer they went on, the closer their spirits were to collapse.
He will never come back.
He left himself forever.
When a person still has hope, they can always find enough spiritual sustenance for themselves.
And when a person loses even hope, they completely collapse.
I burst into tears.
"Huo'er. Am I not worthy of him?" Xia He buried his head on Huo'er's slender shoulders and choked. "Actually, I know. I have always known. He is so good, how can I be worthy of him?"
he?"
"He is like a gift from God to me. So good, so perfect."
"I'm so ordinary. How can I ask him to stay by my side for the rest of his life?"
"Actually, I should have known. He would never be able to be with me forever."
"I should be content to have one year of memories with him. I must also be content -"
The memory of that year was so unreal. I couldn't even reach out my hand to touch it. It seemed that it could only be found in fictional stories. Now, he has finally disappeared. He can never be found again.
I woke up from the dream.
But she couldn't bear it.
I really can't afford it.
"Sister Xia, I'm so sad. I'm really sad..."
The little Loli hugged Xia He tightly and cried into tears.
As soon as these two women who had been holding on for half a year cried, they couldn't stop crying anymore. They seemed to have shed all their tears for a lifetime. They seemed to cry until they died. The only sound left in the living room was their extremely suppressed cries.
Absolutely sad.
…
After getting off the plane, Xiao Wanqing went directly back to Xiaoshan Villa, seemingly unwilling to stay with Chu He for even a moment longer. She didn't even invite him back to Xiaoshan Villa to continue recuperating. After saying goodbye, she got into the car and left straight away. But Chu He
He also got into the car that Muzi left for him. He said to the driver: "Go back."
go back.
Naturally, he went back to the Xia family.
The drivers at Xiaoshan Villa all know that Chuhe lives in the home of the girl from the Xia family. It seems that for Chuhe, it feels more like home than Xiaoshan Villa. It is more worthy of Chuhe's attachment. Some people are dissatisfied with the idea of the eldest young master and express their feelings for Xiao.
The Queen Mother is dissatisfied. But who can object to the eldest young master’s decision?
The driver drove smoothly to the door of Xia's house. Seeing that Chu He did not give any instructions, he respectfully said goodbye and hurried back to Xiaoshan Villa. On the other hand, Chu He stood stiffly at the door of the small courtyard, in a daze.
It’s been half a year.
I haven't been back for half a year. Are they okay? Do they miss me?
Is the little Loli still so greedy? Will she gain weight again? Will she stay up late at night to protect Xia He? Have she eaten all the Haagen-Dazs in the refrigerator?
Where is Xia He?
Is she still working as hard as before in school and bars? She always saves water when taking a bath. Is she worried that the little loli won't have hot water to take a bath?
Thinking of this, a warm smile appeared on the corners of Chu He's lips. Even the depression of becoming a cripple disappeared. It was no longer important.
He strode up, gently raised his arm, and knocked on the door.
Dong Dong.
After a long wait, no one opened the door for him.
Chu He frowned in confusion. Counting the time, the little Lolita should be lying on the sofa eating the fruit plate cut by Xia He and watching TV with relish. Xia He should have just finished cleaning up the kitchen and was about to clean the already clean kitchen.
I mopped it up in the living room again. Then I urged the little girl watching TV to take a bath and go to bed quickly. After all, tomorrow is not the weekend. They all have to go to school.
Dong Dong.
Chu He, who was confused, knocked on the door again. Then he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hey! Huo'er, you damn guy. Did you turn the TV sound up again?"
Perhaps due to the shyness of being close to home, Chu He's heartbeat actually accelerated a lot. He didn't know who would open the door for him. If it was Xia He, what should he say? Where is the little Lolita? She is so unrestrained and cute, should I?
Should she give her a big hug and then praise her for getting fat again?
After knocking on the door this time, there was obviously movement in the room. But still no one opened the door for him.
Chuhe finally became anxious.
I thought to myself: Could it be that the Shenhui has sent someone here again? Damn it, I may not even be able to defeat Dabao now. How can I fight with those Shenhui killers who are as light as a swallow, handsome and handsome?
On this side, Xiang Chuhe fell into embarrassing speculation. Inside the door was another scene——
"Sister Xia, did you hear the knock on the door?" Little Loli suddenly raised her head and asked with a smile on her face.
Then he sniffed unladylikely to prevent the mucus from flowing into his mouth.
Xia He heard it.
She also heard shouts.
The voice is very familiar. Extremely familiar.
But she was worried that this was just an illusion. Just like the hallucinations that had occurred more than a hundred times in the past six months. Every time she opened the door happily, there was always no one at the door. There was only the cold and ruthless darkness of the night.
"You - heard it too?" Xia He said with a trembling voice.
"I heard it -" Little Loli's big, round and very red eyes flashed with an erratic look. She hesitated. "It seems that she is scolding me for turning on the TV too loudly. But - I haven't even watched TV."
The two of them were talking, but they couldn't help but walked to the door. They stared at each other, not daring to open the door.
What should I do if there is still no one outside?
The devastated two could no longer bear the disappointment.
If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. If there is no disappointment, there will be no despair.
Do it again. They will really be desperate. Will——
"Sister Xia, please open the door -" Little Loli put her hands on her back, not daring to break this only hope.
"Okay - okay." Xia He stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently opened the door lock, which was not very strong.
Click.
The door opened.
A tall figure came into their eyes.
It's different from the fantasy.
In the hallucination, he has a spring-like smile on his face, handsome and energetic.
But the Chu He in front of him was not only full of anger, but also very pale. As if he was just recovering from a serious illness, he was heartbreakingly fragile.
Is it him?
Is it really him?
He's back?
He's standing at the door!?
Is it him?
Isn't this an illusion?!
Xia He opened his eyes wide as much as possible. His body could not help but tremble. He leaned forward slightly with his back and asked without thinking: "You - you are back?"
"Uncle!!"
Before Chu He could speak, the little Loli who had recovered her senses jumped away and got into Chu He's arms. She cried loudly: "You finally - plop!"
The little loli suddenly got into Chu He's arms, but she knocked Chu He to the ground. She was also thrown to the ground, and she fell to the ground.
"It's your uncle!" Chu He grinned in pain and cursed. "I shouted for a long time and no one opened the door. As soon as I opened the door, I started to use force! Huo'er, believe it or not, I will spread your ass!?"
Hearing Chu He's voice again, Xia He finally believed that this was not an illusion. His body shook violently and his waist was slightly bent. Tears suddenly fell like rain. He covered his lips and cried bitterly.
He's really back.
This is not an illusion. This is not a dream.
In addition to the fear of the past six months, the tears are filled with joy and excitement.
He didn't leave.
He didn't abandon himself either.
He finally came back——
The little Loli was crying and fussing in Chu He's arms, no matter how Chu He scolded her or pinched her, she just wouldn't get up and was shameless.
Chu He struggled for a long time without pushing the little Loli away, but he accepted his fate.
After the little Loli vented the accumulated emotions of the past six months, Xia He also woke up from the intractable emotions. Then he pulled the little Loli away and asked with concern: "Director Chu, have you had dinner?
?”
Chu He, who stood up in disgrace, patted the dust on his butt and complained: "Not yet. The airplane food is too bad. I'm so hungry and thirsty now. Xiaoxia, please cook a big meal with Director Chu. Let Director Chu eat well."
Have a hearty meal.”
Listening to Chu He's request that was almost like a dream, an indescribable feeling of happiness surged into her heart, and then hit her forehead. No matter how beautiful the writing was, no great writer could describe her mood.
"Okay, I'll do it now, I'll do it now -" Xia He nodded like a chicken eating rice, turned around and walked to the kitchen. His heart was already filled with happiness, and his whole body was full of strength as if it was being charged.
Little Loli held Chu He's arm and walked into the kitchen. First, she generously fed Chu He some fruit. Then she rubbed Chu He's shoulders and back with great attentiveness, and said in a hurry: "How are you feeling, uncle? Where else can I go?"
Tired? I'll give you a massage."
Chu He messed around proudly, and the little Loli massaged him with a great attitude. She was not perfunctory at all, and she was particularly diligent.
Xia He quickly cooked a sumptuous dinner. The little Lolita took Chu He's arm and went to the table. For the first time, she and Xia He moved in unison, desperately picking up vegetables for Chu He. They even put them directly into the mouth of Chu River. Let Chu
The river gives rise to royal enjoyment.
Because the two girls were too enthusiastic, Chu He actually ate four bowls of rice before stopping Xia He who was serving her rice: "I really can't eat any more. I've gained at least five pounds in one breath."
After Xia He heard this, he gave up. He did not clean up the dishes as diligently as before, but sat on a chair and looked at Chuhe quietly without saying a word.
Chu He took out the cigarette case, and the little Loli lit it for him with extra enthusiasm, and said with a silly smile: "Uncle, you look so handsome when you smoke."
"You used to always think that I looked old because of my smoking posture." Chu He curled his lips and said.
"It's nothing." Little Loli smiled honestly. "Uncle is always the most handsome no matter what."
After Chu He finished smoking a cigarette, the pretentious smile on his face gradually faded. He looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry. I haven't called home for half a year. I made you forget it."
He understood his father's attitude and even more so his robot aunt's mood.
At that time, even the doctor thought that it was very likely that he would lie in a hospital bed like this for the rest of his life. Not to mention, he was afraid that he would give hope to all those who cared about him and make them despair. Furthermore, at that time, they might not be in any mood to express their gratitude to others.
Report your own situation. My father didn’t, and my aunt didn’t either.
In Chu He's view, the two women at home who have suffered the most from his disappearance for the past six months must be the two women at home. Only they care about whether he goes home for dinner, what he wants to eat tomorrow night, whether he should increase the amount of breakfast, and toothpaste.
It’s not that they have run out again. Only they will wait for news about themselves at home every day.
Chu He gazed softly at the beautiful cheeks of the two women, and was so moved that he could not speak.
He knows.
He knew that they must be waiting for him every day. He knew that they were looking forward to his return every day. He also knew that they must have been living in extreme pain for the past six months. This can be seen from Xia He's thin face and the little Loli's withered butt.
You can see it.
They must be very tired, even more tired than themselves.
They must have suffered a lot, even more painful than being in a coma for half a year.
they--
Chu He was grateful to God. He was grateful that he could meet them in this short life.
He gently held Xia He's hand and little Loli's hand. He said softly: "Fortunate to have you. Thank you for having you."
Thousands of words. Chuhe only gathered this sentence.
But enough.
For Xia He, it was enough for him to come back.
For the little Lolita, just living is enough.
They don't care if Chu He brings enough and good gifts. They don't care if Chu He is rich and powerful. As long as he comes back, returns to this big family, returns to this place where he can never be missing, everything will matter.
Enough.
Xia He held Chu He's hand tightly. For the first time, the little Loli was neither aggressive nor domineering, letting Chu He hold her hand. Tears flashed in her big, round eyes. Inexplicable tears.
The warm light from above the restaurant swayed down, shining on the faces of the three people and shining into the hearts of the three people. It was like this big family that was always happy and happy. There was never coldness or loneliness.
Xia He, who was like a walking corpse, was no longer empty. Her eyes regained their sparkle. She was as diligent as Chu He when he left. She cleared the dishes and fetched clean and comfortable pajamas for Chu He. She put hot water on him and gave him
He took slippers and made the bed.
He's back.
Xia He's heart was full of strength. No matter what he did, his heart was filled with happiness. Even the act of closing the curtains in his room made Xia He endlessly memorable and extremely warm.
The little loli sent all the Haagen-Dazs to Chu He's room so that he could eat it to his heart's content. But she was not reluctant at all. Instead, she was very happy because the person who ate the Haagen-Dazs she bought was an uncle.
.He is the uncle who will stand up for her and help her block the knife. He would rather stay up all night with her arm pressed down than wake her up!
If you don’t give the Haagen-Dazs you bought to your uncle, who else can you give it to?
After finishing everything, the little loli returned to her room with satisfaction. Lying on the soft and comfortable bed, she felt that life was so happy and beautiful for the first time in her life. Even the things piled on the desk were extremely eye-catching.
The extremely annoying textbook suddenly became wonderful.
Chu He, who was lying in the bathtub, covered his face with a hot towel, stretched out his arms lazily, and exhaled a breath of contentment.
His body was not as strong as before. But listening to the busy sounds coming from outside the bathroom, Chu He felt more satisfied and at ease than ever before. He murmured to himself: "It's great to have you."
ps: When writing the second half of this chapter, when Chu He entered the Xia family, my eyes felt inexplicably sore. I thought that I could finish it calmly after writing so many tragic jokes. But I was severely poked. My family never asked us to be good.
How good, how powerful. I just hope that we can go home more often, eat together more, and chat. That is already the happiest thing for a family.
