The Most Beautiful Years Met You [221] Countdown to the Finale Part 1
Yu Zhongxiao took his hand out of his trouser pocket and touched the back of her head. What he touched was soft hair.
"Why are you here?" Ye Hehuan hugged him, it felt like a dream. He should be in Fengcheng, why did he appear here?
Yu Zhongxiao smiled and asked, "Don't you like me coming over?"
Ye Hehuan quickly shook his head.
It was just too unexpected and I didn’t give her any mental preparation... Jian...
Ye Hehuan immediately remembered what happened to Yan Yu. She was afraid that Yu Zhongxiao would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to explain everything. She just concealed the ambiguous words Yan Yu said, "We had a meal together when we met. After all, he used to He also helped me, and then he said he wanted to see grandpa, and by the way, he got engaged to Ye Jingyu right away. "
After listening to her explanation, the expression on Yu Zhongxiao's face did not change much.
Ye Hehuan felt a little unsure and raised his head to look at him: "Are you unhappy?"
"No." Yu Zhongxiao held her shoulders with his big hands, his movements were a little gentle, and he carefully noticed the dark circles under her eyes: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"...Well, I'm worried about grandpa's condition."
In front of Yu Zhongxiao, Ye Hehuan never deliberately disguises his emotions.
She thought about what the attending doctor said, and felt a little depressed. She held Yu Zhongxiao's rolled-up shirt cuffs with her fingers, and her mind suddenly jumped again. She looked at Yu Zhongxiao with those bright cat eyes: "Will you delay the troops if you come to City B suddenly like this?" What’s the job here?”
Yu Zhongxiao saw her concern and smiled slightly: "If there is a delay, do you plan to drive me away now?"
Ye Hehuan hugged him tightly again.
She pressed her cheek against Yu Zhongxiao's chest and murmured softly: "You are not allowed to leave even if you are delayed, just stay like this..."
Yu Zhongxiao reached out and hugged her gently, then looked down at her fair face, with a little makeup and long eyelashes twitching slightly. He was inexplicably moved by such a docile Ye Hehuan, who even had a light blue chin pad. On top of her head, she didn't want to speak, but just hugging each other like this made her hard heart soften.
Across the corridor door of the cardiopulmonary and vascular ward, the voices of nurses and the sound of carts could be heard from far and near.
Ye Hehuan withdrew from Yu Zhongxiao's arms.
Yu Zhongxiao said: "Go in first."
Ye Hehuan hummed, a little reluctant to leave, but turned around and opened the door and went in.
If they went back to the ward together, they might have to give a reasonable explanation. Under her grandfather's eyes, she didn't know if she could still say with a straight face that she met her uncle by chance. Her relationship with Yu Zhongxiao was no longer like that of several others. I was as secretive as I was before, but I wouldn't show it deliberately.
If the day comes to confess, she will say, but now is not the best time.
…
Ye Hehuan returned to the ward. Just after washing the watermelons, Yu Zhongxiao came in.
She returned to the bed without looking away, stood next to the bedside table, holding a fruit knife and carefully cutting the watermelon piece by piece. In her ears, she could hear the low voice of him talking to her grandpa. It was very calm, especially when he said he was done smoking. When Yan answered the phone again, his face was neither red nor out of breath, and he showed no signs of lying at all.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Yu Zhongxiao stood up and said goodbye.
Han Yongsong was lying on the bed, turned to Ye Hehuan who was folding clothes and said, "Huanhuan, send your uncle off for me."
"Oh... okay." Ye Hehuan backed away from his chair and stood up.
But Yu Zhongxiao said no, "You can't leave people here, I can just go down by myself."
Han Yongsong didn't persist too much. At the end of the day, his body felt a little tired.
"Then I'll leave first."
After saying this, Yu Zhongxiao's deep gaze passed across Ye Hehuan opposite.
A calm glance.
Ye Hehuan's heartbeat accelerated a bit. As he watched Yu Zhongxiao go out, he heard his grandpa suddenly say: "Huanhuan, go wash some grapes for grandpa, I suddenly feel like eating them."
"Oh." Ye Hehuan quickly looked away from the door and went to the bathroom with a bunch of grapes.
Han Yongsong's current health can only eat semi-liquid food except fruits. Mrs. Tang went home to cook porridge and came to the hospital at about five o'clock in the evening. In the afternoon, the hospital also found a male caregiver for the elderly.
So after Mrs. Tang appeared with the thermos box, Han Yongsong drove his granddaughter home to rest.
"Then if anything happens to you, ask the nurse or medical staff to call me." Before leaving, Ye Hehuan warned him again and again.
Han Yongsong nodded and looked at her lovingly: "Go back and remember to have a good meal."
——
After leaving the ward, Ye Hehuan walked to the elevator and took out her mobile phone. Just as she opened the address book to call Yu Zhongxiao, her back collar was gently pulled off.
Ye Hehuan turned around subconsciously.
The tall figure of Yu Zhongxiao was leaning against the wall next to him.
Taking the phone away from his ear, Ye Hehuan looked at him. Unexpectedly, he never left, and the sweetness in his heart appeared on his lips.
Yu Zhongxiao stood up straight and said, "Let's go." As he spoke, he already took one of her hands.
It was the peak time, and the elevator didn't open on the fifth floor twice after I got off.
While waiting, Ye Hehuan's attention gradually shifted to the man next to him.
Yu Zhongxiao came to City B without any warning, and the touch and surprise he brought to her diluted the gloomy emotions accumulated in her heart. Her eyes swept to the wrinkled collar of his shirt, and she raised her green-white slender fingers, her eyes focused.
The ground stroked him.
The next moment, Yu Zhongxiao lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth passionately.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor and made the sound of opening the door.
Ye Hehuan pushed his chest with both hands and blushed at his sudden movement. He looked to both sides and complained: "It will be seen——"
Yu Zhongxiao lowered his head and stared at her with affectionate black eyes: "If I kiss my wife, do I need other people's permission?"
Ye Hehuan: "..."
This kind of banter between lovers came out of Yu Zhongxiao's mouth so suddenly that Ye Hehuan felt a little uncomfortable. His face became hotter and hotter. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh and bite him.
Seeing that the elevator door didn't open for a long time, she became daring. She threw herself into Yu Zhongxiao's arms, put her arms around his neck, and narrowed her beautiful cat eyes and asked: "You men are so bad. You call your wife indiscriminately before you get married."
, doesn’t this give you a sense of accomplishment?”
"Don't you also call me——"
"That's different!"
Ye Hehuan interrupted him arrogantly.
Yu Zhongxiao looked at her and smiled, a deep smile. Ye Hehuan's face turned redder and redder, "I don't care about you." After saying that, he retracted his hands.
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding.
Ye Hehuan glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw the person clearly, and his whole body froze there.
"..."
Ye Hehuan didn't know how she got off Yu Zhongxiao. She looked at Ye Zhimin who was carrying a fruit basket. She opened her mouth with mixed feelings, but she didn't know what to say, whether to explain or to be honest. In the end, she just whispered
He shouted: "Sister-in-law."
——————
The row of stores next to the First Hospital are mostly restaurants, except for fruit shops and small supermarkets.
July is approaching, and even in the evening, it is still so hot that people feel chest tight.
Ye Hehuan stood at the main entrance of the hospital. A tricycle driver next to her asked her where she was going, but she turned a deaf ear. Her slender figure was stretched by the setting sun on the ground, and she had no time to care about the sweat dripping down her forehead, without blinking.
Staring at a Chinese restaurant across the street.
Ye Zhimin said that he wanted to talk to Yu Zhongxiao alone and she was not allowed to follow him.
She didn't know what her sister-in-law would say. Would she say something embarrassing like Han Minjing did?
But when Ye Zhimin asked to chat with Yu Zhongxiao alone, she was anxious but couldn't say no.
One was the man she loved, and the other was the relative she cared about. At that moment, Ye Hehuan was in a dilemma and could not make a decisive decision.
…
At the same time, in the restaurant across the street.
The old vertical air conditioner blew out cold air, and the sound of car horns on the road occasionally came from between the PVC curtains.
Ye Zhimin looked at the man sitting opposite. This was the first time she had looked at Yu Zhongxiao so seriously. She subconsciously looked at him like an elder.
When Ye Zhimin first learned about the affair between him and his niece, it could be described as dumbfounded.
She had only met Yu Zhongxiao a few times, but she also learned from a few words that he was a man with a calm personality.
But it was such a mature and steady man that fascinated Ye Hehuan.
If Han Minjing hates Yu Zhongxiao with all her teeth, then she, besides sighing, just doesn't understand him.
With Yu Zhongxiao's conditions, even if he was divorced, what kind of woman would he not have? Why did he fall in love with his ex-wife's niece who was still a virgin?
Judging others by oneself, Ye Zhimin never understood that the way Yu Zhongxiao had been educated since childhood should have allowed him to avoid suspicion when he found out that Ye Hehuan had inappropriate thoughts, instead of being with a girl who was more than ten years younger than him.
It’s unclear whether it was six years ago or six years later, again and again.
The waiter brought over two cups of tea.
Ye Zhimin picked up the cup and put it back. She didn't drink, but spoke first with a sigh: "I didn't expect... six years later we would be sitting here for this reason."
The last time they had dinner at the same table, he was Han Jingqiu's husband. Now, he has changed.
Yu Zhongxiao also looked up, but did not answer.
"What happened between you and He Huan..." Ye Zhimin couldn't find a suitable word to describe this relationship. She paused and then said: "I didn't let He Huan come over because I thought I had something to say to you.
That’s fine, there’s no need for her to hear it.”
Yu Zhongxiao waited quietly for her to continue.
Such Yu Zhongxiao, in Ye Zhimin's view, was very polite, but it made her somewhat speechless.
"Originally, I shouldn't have said these words. After all, I am just He Huan's aunt, but you should also know about her mother, who passed away six years ago."
Regardless of whether Ye Zhimin mentioned Han Minjing intentionally or not, Yu Zhongxiao felt uncomfortable after hearing it.
"I saw you two in the hospital today... To be honest, I wasn't too surprised. In fact, I had vaguely guessed it when she went to Fengcheng to take care of Asheng, but I just didn't want to believe it. Now that we are sitting here
Well, then I won’t beat around the bush with you, let’s just say it straight, I hope you can break up with He Huan once and for all and don’t have any contact with him in the future.”
"..."
Yu Zhongxiao looked at Ye Zhimin, his throat twitching slightly. Due to the confusion of seniority, he couldn't find a usable title.
"Because of what happened with He Huan, my sister-in-law didn't feel at ease when she left."
Ye Zhimin continued: "I promised her
I will take good care of He Huan. This child has suffered a lot since he was a child. Later, he was sent abroad by my brother for many years. In terms of education, because there were no parents by his side, there were many misunderstandings... including the part of choosing a mate.
The reason why she chooses you should be related to her long-term lack of fatherly care."
Yu Zhongxiao did not agree with this statement.
Ye Zhimin's eyes were fixed on his face, "I don't want to say anything humiliating. In any relationship, the responsibility lies with both parties. If you choose to be with Hehuan, you will have to bear a lot. Haven't you two been separate in the past six years?
Are you living well? If you are really together, you know better than me how difficult the future will be. Besides, He Huan is only twenty-six years old this year. Can you guarantee that she can really settle down and live a life of daily necessities with you? You
You are already over thirty-five, and what you want is a wife who manages the household well. You probably don’t want to come home after a busy work day and have to coax a wife who has a child-like personality?”
When Yu Zhongxiao heard this, he couldn't say such words as "Hehuanhui is willing to change for me." Any responsible man would not push a woman out as a shield at this time, and as the woman's parent, he would not like it either
I heard this kind of excuse to shirk responsibility.
He raised his head again, looked deeply into Ye Zhimin's eyes, and tightened his hands on his legs slightly.
"Before coming to see her this time, I had already prepared for the worst."
Ye Zhimin's eyes flashed slightly, as if he didn't believe the answer he heard. Then he heard Yu Zhongxiao's magnetic voice, very solemn: "I have been living for my family in the first half of my life, and in the next few decades, I want to live for myself."
."
"..." Ye Zhimin was suddenly speechless.
If Ye Hehuan is rebellious, then what about the man in front of him?
She took a deep breath and began to analyze the various stakes: "I used to think that He Huan was the only one who was stubborn, but now it seems that is not the case. My sister-in-law was still arguing with her daughter at the top of her lungs until the day she died. As for He Huan,
She became pregnant with your child when she was a teenager, and she lost the ability to have children due to induced labor. She will never have children of her own in the future. Even if you have children, as long as you still live in this society, you will have to face all kinds of strange things.
You can say you don’t care, day by day, month by month, year by year, but what about ten, twenty, and thirty years? You can turn a blind eye, but what about the child? When others point at her nose and say that she is her mother who seduced the child,
The child born to your uncle, can you really promise that the child will have no grudge against you?"
Yu Zhongxiao said calmly: "As long as she is willing, I can take her away."
"Let's go? Where?"
Ye Zhimin didn't expect Yu Zhongxiao to be so disobedient, and she became emotional. However, before she could say anything, Yu Zhongxiao had already stood up.
He stared at Ye Zhimin with determination: "For me, the child is not the most important thing. If I have to choose between my offspring and her, I want her."
Ye Zhimin: "..."
After saying this, Yu Zhongxiao lifted the door curtain and left the small restaurant.
————————
Ye Hehuan stared at the restaurant with a narrow facade, unable to take his eyes away. He saw Yu Zhongxiao almost at the first sight.
At a zebra crossing, the red light happens to turn to green.
She didn't hesitate at all and ran along the flow of people.
Upon arriving in front of Yu Zhongxiao, Ye Hehuan looked into his dark eyes and asked with concern: "What did my sister-in-law tell you?"
She couldn't wait to know what her sister-in-law said, because she didn't want Yu Zhongxiao to bear the pressure alone, the pressure from her family. In her opinion, Yu Zhongxiao was doing a loss-making business in this relationship. Maybe he cared about someone.
Human beings are like this and cannot tolerate the slightest grievance.
Yu Zhongxiao held her hand, looked at her worried eyes, and said with a smile, "I told her that if she is destined to lose her army, she can't lose her wife again."
Ye Hehuan's nose felt sore, and because of being moved and happy, she hugged his back tightly.
Yu Zhongxiao was struck by her. He slightly curled his lips, raised his big hand, and lightly touched her hair with his well-jointed fingers.
Ye Hehuan put his ear against Yu Zhongxiao's chest and listened quietly to his steady heartbeat.
It was an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.
Before leaving with Yu Zhongxiao, Ye Hehuan walked into the small restaurant.
Ye Zhimin was still sitting there, looking at her with helplessness and disappointment. Ye Hehuan's eyes were sour, but she still spoke: "Sister-in-law, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I can't live without him. Maybe we
I will be spurned for the rest of my life, but I will not regret it, so...sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
She said the last three words very low, but she knew that Ye Zhimin heard them.
Because she heard a very soft sigh.
————————
PS: I will update a chapter first. I originally planned to upload it until someone has uploaded it. Because it is inconvenient to update now and it needs to be reviewed. I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait. I’ll upload 5,000 words first. I’ll upload another 3,000 words in the early morning probably. The next chapter will be uploaded at the moment.
Two thousand three chapters have been written, and I will also write about the person who receives the lunch box.
