After a four-hour drive, when Bai Xiao arrived at Liyang Hospital, the old man had already left the operating room.
Standing outside the intensive care unit, looking at her grandmother lying inside wearing an oxygen mask, Bai Xiao desperately wanted to rush in.
"Calm down." Ye Hehuan hugged Bai Xiao tightly, "ask the doctor about the situation first."
Bai Xiao's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and she clutched Ye Hehuan's sleeves with trembling hands: "The last operation went very smoothly. Dr. Liang said that as long as you insist on regular check-ups and take medicine, you won't get sick. A few days ago, my grandma told me
It was fine when I called..."
The door to the ward opened, and the attending doctor and nurse filed out.
Bai Xiao immediately let go of Ye Hehuan and asked the doctor eagerly: "Dr. Liang, why did my grandma suddenly become ill?"
"Your grandma had a bypass surgery the year before last, and she has been fine for the past two years. According to my experience in medical treatment over the years, although there is a risk of disease, the chance is extremely low, but this time your grandma was obviously stimulated, causing
Bai Xiao was a little unbelievable. After she was sent to Pei's house, Bai Qiuhua's family also moved to Fengcheng in a fuss not long after. Grandma was the only one in her hometown. Moreover, grandma had always been generous and had a harmonious relationship with her neighbors. How could she suddenly be affected by this?
Stimulate?
"The patient's condition this time is not very optimistic. Her blood pressure has been showing instability. I think she is very worried. I can cure her physical illness, but I cannot cure her mental illness. If the condition continues to worsen, you can only change the condition.
Go to a big hospital for treatment."
After the doctor left, Bai Xiao stood in front of the large glass with her hands close to her, feeling scared and confused.
Ye Hehuan looked at Bai Xiao with dim eyes and supported her thin body.
"He Huan, if even my grandma is leaving me, what else in this world will I miss?"
"If we can't treat her here in Liyang, we will take my grandma to Fengcheng for treatment. Fengcheng is one of the top provincial capitals in the country. Isn't it possible that we still can't find an excellent heart surgeon?"
Bai Xiao rested his head on Ye Hehuan's shoulder, and his voice was hoarse and choked: "Hehuan, I'm scared, really scared."
"What happened to grandma?" Ye Hehuan remembered what the doctor said.
Bai Xiao looked at the old man sleeping peacefully in the ward. The wavy lines on the ECG machine made her nervous mood slightly ease.
"I don't know either, grandma never mentioned it to me." Bai Xiao shook his head, with a look of tiredness and haggardness on his face.
"Xiao Xiao?" An uncertain call sounded from beside him.
Bai Xiao turned around and saw a middle-aged woman dressed simply. With just one glance, she recognized Mrs. Xu who lived next door to her grandmother.
It was Mrs. Xu who was the first to discover that the elderly man had fainted at home and dialed 1 to call an ambulance.
"Is it really Xiaoxiao?" Sister-in-law Xu was surprised and happy. Seeing the gorgeous and fashionable Ye Hehuan next to Bai Xiao, she smiled shyly, and then looked behind Bai Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, you
Where is my husband?"
Bai Xiao did not expect Mrs. Xu to mention Pei Qiyou. In these years, Pei Qiyou has never been to Liyang again.
Aunt Xu said with envy: "When your grandma was sitting and chatting with us, she kept talking about her grandson-in-law, saying that the child valued friendship and would marry you to him, and she would be able to rest in peace even if she died.
"
Bai Xiao's eye circles were astringent, and her cold hands were suddenly wrapped in warmth. Ye Hehuan squeezed her frozen hands tightly.
"When I sent your grandma to the hospital, she was still calling your husband Qiyou's name in a daze."
I chatted with Mrs. Xu for a while longer, but she was basically the one talking. Bai Xiao listened blankly, her thoughts drifting far away.
What automatically came to Bai Xiao's mind was her grandmother sitting under the banyan tree in front of her house, peeling beans and talking to the neighbors about her granddaughter. The sun shone warmly on her wrinkled smiling face.
…
"Are you hungry? I'm going to buy some fast food and come back."
After Aunt Xu left, Ye Hehuan found that the two of them had rushed from Fengcheng in a hurry, and it was already dinner time before lunch.
Bai Xiao glanced at her grandmother through the glass, held Ye Hehuan's hand, "Hehuan, I've made you tired."
"Fool, what's the relationship between us? You stay here for now, I'll go and come back."
When Ye Hehuanfengfenghuohuo disappeared from sight, Bai Xiao leaned his head against the wall, his eyes sore from dryness.
After a long time, she stood up and walked to the nurse's station: "Can I make a call?"
"Okay, help yourself." The nurse friendly pushed the phone in front of Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers with her fingers skillfully, but did not press the last "6" for a long time.
"Should we fight or not? If not, get out of the way and don't hinder other people." The boss at the back yelled rudely.
Bai Xiao stood aside and was about to put down the phone when a nurse's shout came from not far away.
"Where are Zhou Aihua's family members, Zhou Aihua's family members?"
As if waking up from a dream, Bai Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at the ward. The phone dropped on the table with the cord hanging from his hand. Bai Xiao pushed away the big boss behind him, ignored his curses, and stumbled towards the intensive care unit.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the ward, I saw several nurses and doctors walking quickly towards the operating room at the end of the corridor, pushing a patient's bed.
"Grandma!" Bai Xiao chased after her, but was separated by the nurse: "Please wait outside!"
The old man was wearing an oxygen mask. His face was pale and dull, and his eyebrows were stained with a blue tint. The situation was not good.
Bai Xiao grabbed Dr. Liang's hand and said, "Doctor Liang, please, you must save my grandma... you must save her!"
Doctor Liang looked at Bai Xiao, whose eyes were filled with fear, and quickly glanced at the corridor, "Why are you alone? What happened to the other family members after such a big incident happened?"
"My uncle's family is in Fengcheng, so they may not know that something happened to my grandma."
"What about your husband? I heard from your grandma that you are already married. How can you do this without a man to support you?"
"He..." Bai Xiao didn't know what to say, and she was a little at a loss.
Dr. Liang entered the operating room while wearing a mask: "I'll do the surgery first."
The door of the operating room slammed shut in front of Bai Xiao.
The operation lasted for more than ten hours, and Bai Xiao stayed outside the operating room without eating, drinking or sleeping.
When Dr. Liang came out and told the old man that he was temporarily out of danger, the tight string in Bai Xiao's brain relaxed instantly, as if the last bit of strength had been drained out of him, and his body fell weakly to the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.
"Based on the current situation of the patient, I advise you to transfer to a hospital in a big city immediately. The medical level there is more advanced than that in our small city. Many authoritative experts in cardiac surgery often go to big hospitals for consultation. If you are lucky, you may even encounter
."
Dr. Liang said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "But the cost is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"This is not a problem. As long as they can cure grandma, they can spend any amount of money!" Ye Hehuan said.
"That's good." Doctor Liang looked at Bai Xiao: "I will help you with the relevant procedures right away."
…
The transfer procedures were completed quickly, and with Ye Hehuan's connections, the old man was sent to the largest hospital in Fengcheng overnight.
Standing outside the ward, looking at the doctors who were coming in and out to treat her grandmother, Bai Xiao's heart finally calmed down.
"Come here, have something to eat!" Ye Hehuan thrust the lunch box into Bai Xiao's hand, "Otherwise, how can I have the strength to take care of grandma?"
Bai Xiao held the still-warm food in her hands and said with emotion, "He Huan, thank you."
"You're talking silly again!" Ye Hehuan deliberately messed up Bai Xiao's hair, "Which of us is following whom?"
Bai Xiao never took the initiative to ask about Ye Hehuan's life and family background that he avoided talking about. Everyone has secrets, right?
And all she can do now is keep Ye Hehuan's kindness in her heart.
"I didn't expect the old guy to come to Fengcheng. This is good. It saves me from wasting my fare to find her next time!"
Wu Xiumei's whirring voice resounded throughout the corridor, making people's eardrums feel painful.
Bai Xiao called Bai Qiuhua as soon as he completed the hospitalization procedures. Bai Qiuhua's plain tone obviously knew that his grandmother was ill, but they did not rush to Liyang as soon as possible, but they came quickly enough now.
Different from the poor look she had when we last met, Wu Xiumei was wearing a purple-red mink fur dress, but she managed to show off her nobility like a rich and wealthy person. The thick gold necklace around her neck was so dazzling that it made people blind.
You can still see the foundation that was not evenly applied on the face.
Bai Qiuhua wasn't much better. A high-end suit was held up by him. Maybe because he came out in a hurry, his tie was twisted. There was a thin layer of sweat on his bald forehead, which made Bai Xiao wrinkle up.
brow.
"I think the old woman is just afraid of death that's why she runs to the hospital all day long." Wu Xiumei glanced at the doctors and nurses who were surrounded by sick people, and curled her lips, "But if you live to be eighty, I think it's almost okay...
…”
"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Bai Xiao scolded Wu Xiumei in a cold voice.
Wu Xiumei sighed, glanced at her husband next to her, and motioned for him to speak.
Bai Qiuhua cleared her throat, straightened her back, and put her hands behind her back, "Xiaoxiao, uncle has something to tell you."
"What are you talking about?" Bai Xiao turned to look at the ward: "We can wait until grandma is out of danger to talk about anything."
Wu Xiumei was unhappy and secretly poked Bai Qiuhua's armpit, with an impatient look on her face.
Bai Qiuhua glanced at the ward, thinking of his sick mother, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed to speak. However, Wu Xiumei pinched him hard from behind, causing him to ouch in pain, and he hesitated to speak: "Xiao Xiao... you... you
With...Pei Pei..."
"Your uncle wants to ask you when you will divorce Pei Qiyou?" Wu Xiumei took over the conversation and squinted at Bai Xiao in a domineering manner, "Do you plan to keep your cousin following Pei Qiyou in an unjustifiable manner?"
"Cousin?" Bai Xiao sneered and looked at the couple sarcastically: "So you guys also know that Bai Qinli is my cousin."
Bai Qiuhua was annoyed, but Wu Xiumei raised her chin arrogantly: "We are here today to show off our cards with you."
Bai Xiao couldn't believe that they were so shameless. She pulled Ye Hehuan and was about to leave, "I won't send it off."
"Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Wu Xiumei was so angry that she jumped up and slapped Bai Qiuhua hard: "I'm just telling you, why did she agree to divorce so easily? The old guy is really useless, just with me
She mentioned it and pretended to defend this little shabby shoe. I think she became more and more confused as she lived, and she didn’t even know who was the granddaughter of their Bai family!"
Wu Xiumei's endless scolding made Bai Xiao stop suddenly.
"If she continues to be so partial, when she dies, we, Lily, will not be able to hold the memorial tablet!"
Seeing Bai Xiao who suddenly turned around and staring at her coldly, Wu Xiumei swallowed her saliva, hid behind Bai Qiuhua, and shouted calmly: "What are you staring at? Did I say something wrong?"
A surge of anger burned in Bai Xiao's heart, "Did you call grandma?"
"...Can't I hit her? Her granddaughter is being ridden over her head. Shouldn't she, as a prostitute, take care of her?"
Bai Xiao was so angry that she laughed back, "Isn't it normal for your daughter to be ridden by someone else if she is the third child?"
"Bai Xiao, what are you talking about!" Bai Qiuhua said with a serious face, "Anyway, Lily is your cousin and younger than you. Is it wrong for you to let her have a little bit? Why can't you even think of her as a sister?
It doesn’t even look like that!”
"Give? How to give? Come and tell me after your daughter has the fate of being rich and wealthy."
Bai Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore, but just as she was about to leave, Wu Xiumei's triumphant voice sounded: "Our Lily doesn't have the fate of Shi Laozi, but she has Pei Qiyou's child in her belly!"
Ye Hehuan stood next to Bai Xiao and clearly saw Bai Xiao's face losing all color in an instant. He quickly hugged Bai Xiao. Wu Xiumei's provocative voice kept coming from behind: "If I hadn't injured my hand a few days ago and went to the hospital, I wouldn't have known.
She’s already pregnant!”
"Xiao Xiao..." Ye Hehuan shouted in a voice that only the two of them could hear, for fear that she would not be able to accept this fact.
Bai Xiao gently pushed her away, raised his eyes to look at Bai Qiuhua and his wife, and raised a curve on his pale lips: "So what? As long as I don't sign the divorce agreement, she, Bai Qinli, will be the third party.
Her child is also an illegitimate child!"
Bai Xiao felt that she had never been so vicious. Seeing Wu Xiumei rolling her eyes in anger, she felt happy. Amidst Bai Qiuhua's scolding, she pushed open the ward door and went in without looking back.
The doctor has left, and the only sound in the ward is the monotonous beeping of the electrocardiograph.
Bai Xiao looked at the old man on the bed, picked up the old man's deadwood hand, held it tightly, and put it against his cheek.
The old man seemed to sense something, and slowly opened his eyes. When he turned around and saw Bai Xiao sitting on the chair, he opened his mouth, and his voice was very soft. Bai Xiao hurriedly stepped forward: "Grandma, what did you say?"
"Pray... pray... bless... people... where are people?"
There was a glimmer of hope in the old man's cloudy eyes. Bai Xiao held her hand: "He is quite busy at work. When he is free, I will let him come to see you, okay?"
Grandma blinked slowly, "Li...Li's mother..."
"Auntie has already told me the matter. It was just a misunderstanding. She accidentally mistaken Lily's partner."
Bai Xiao comforted her with a smile: "Was aunt still here just now? The most important thing for you now is to rest and don't think too much about anything."
"I...I want to...see...prayer."
Grandma struggled to say the last two words, her lips were a little blue, and there were some abnormalities in the ECG instrument.
Bai Xiao was afraid that she would get sick again, so he hurriedly reassured her: "It's too late today, just wait until tomorrow. I will let him come to visit you tomorrow."
The old man closed his eyes with relief and relaxed his grip on Bai Xiao's hand.
…
After closing the door to the ward, Bai Xiao leaned against the door, raised her head and closed her eyes.
Bai Qiuhua and Wu Xiumei have already left, and the corridor is very quiet.
She felt like a dry land with no grass growing on it, desolate and desolate. She didn't know how long it took before she walked towards the stairs.
"No. 38, Bai Qinli!"
The nurse's clear call passed through the crowd and reached Bai Xiao's ears.
The whole world seemed to be isolated in another illusory time and space. Bai Xiao stopped. She stood on the corridor and clearly heard her weak breathing. Was it her imagination? She turned her head slowly -
The door of the obstetrics and gynecology department was filled with young couples.
Pei Qiyou was wearing a smoky gray slim-fitting suit. He stood out among the crowd. He had a sense of excellence that stood out from the crowd. He held a few sheets in his hands, frowned slightly, and was looking down. Next to him, Bai Qinli pouted her lips.
Face aggrieved.
Wu Xiumei's words rang in her ears over and over again.
Bai Xiao looked at them, feeling a sense of sadness in her heart. Her eyes fell on Pei Qiyou's face, which was still handsome and capable, but why did it become more and more strange as she looked at him? She seemed to find nothing in him about the twenty-eight-year-old Pei Qiyou.
Eight-year-old shadow.
On the campus boulevard, he suddenly leaned down and secretly kissed her cheek, then turned around and ran away with a smirk.
…
I don't know when it started to rain.
Ye Hehuan got out of the car cursing and was about to rush into the inpatient department when he saw someone standing at the door.
Bai Xiao was like a sculpture without any sign of life, standing there motionless, soaked in the rain.
"Why are you standing here? Didn't you see it's raining?"
Ye Hehuan was anxious and angry. He grabbed Bai Xiao and took out a tissue from his bag to wipe her face.
Bai Xiao blinked, and the water droplets condensed on her eyelashes slid down her cheeks. She looked at Ye Hehuan: "Where have you been?"
"Of course I'm going to find Pei Qiyou. Can I do it without asking for confirmation of what your aunt said?"
Ye Hehuan threw away a bunch of tissues: "But the secretary said he was not in the company, so I made a trip in vain!"
"What if Bai Qinli is really pregnant?"
Ye Hehuan raised his head suddenly, with a look of shock on his face that he forgot to speak for a moment.
Bai Xiao twitched her lips, "I just saw Pei Qiyou in the obstetrics and gynecology department...and Bai Qinli."
Ye Hehuan was stunned for three seconds, then rolled up his sleeves and pretended to rush in: "Where is it?"
"He Huan, if he really doesn't want me anymore, should I get divorced?" Bai Xiao smiled lightly, but her vision gradually became hazy: "While I am still only twenty-four years old, not forty-two years old, shouldn't I let go?"
If he leaves... let yourself go?"
"Why!" Ye Hehuan was furious: "It's obvious that they are sorry for you, why do they want you to give in? Qin Shousheng is right, you won't get divorced, doesn't Bai Qinli think that mother is more valuable than son? You just occupy this position.
Look how she is justified!"
Bai Xiao closed her eyes and couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain on her face.
…
The next day was Saturday. Seeing that her grandmother's condition had stabilized, Bai Xiao hired a caregiver and went to work at the art center.
She has asked for leave several times in a row and can no longer challenge her boss's endurance.
As soon as Bai Xiao entered the piano room, she saw Yu Jingxi sitting in the first row.
The little guy sat very upright, with a violin on the table, and looked at her with a smile, looking very endearing.
For some reason, Bai Xiao felt that the atmosphere in the class today was a bit gloomy. Every student had a sad look on their face, except Yu Jingxi.
Bai Xiao suddenly understood why the teacher in the office looked at him with sympathetic eyes just now. It turned out that the little bully in the art center had actually transferred to his class. Looking at that energetic little face, Bai Xiao couldn't help but curl up his lips.
horn.
After one class, Bai Xiao finally discovered where the problem lay.
In the piano room, Yu Jingxi's childish and studious voice was always heard, while the other students were extremely silent.
"Is everyone really all right?" Bai Xiao asked again before get out of class ended.
"No more!" Yu Jingxi replied in a loud and clear voice.
Bai Xiao smiled and looked at the other children, "Then our class is over for today."
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"
Bai Xiao raised his head and looked at Yu Jingxi specifically: "You have worked hard too."
After packing up her things, Bai Xiao was about to leave when she found that the other students had almost left, but Yu Jingxi was still packing in his seat, a little in a hurry.
Bai Xiao walked over: "Do you need my help?"
When Yu Jingxi saw Bai Xiao, she scratched her ears in embarrassment, "Xiao Bai, I'm telling you a joke."
Hearing this mature tone, Bai Xiao suppressed a smile, touched his soft curly hair, and tidied it up for him skillfully.
…
Bai Xiao led Yu Jingxi out of the piano room, and the driver was already waiting outside the door.
"Xiao Bai, do you have any plans for lunch?" Yu Jingxi looked at Bai Xiao nervously, her face red.
Bai Xiao nodded, "The teacher's grandmother is sick, and the teacher wants to see her."
"Is grandma seriously ill?"
"The dangerous period has passed." Bai Xiaoben's heavy mood improved because of this child. He bent down to help him adjust the schoolbag strap on his shoulder. "Go home quickly, otherwise you will miss lunch."
"Oh." The date plan fell through, and Yu Jingxi was a little disappointed.
Bai Xiao touched his cheek affectionately again, and then went back to the office.
Yu Jingxi slumped his shoulders and said to the driver, "Let's go." Then he kicked the pebbles and walked to the gate. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind. He immediately turned around and ran to Bai Xiao, and said happily: "Xiao Bai, I
Let’s take you to the hospital.”
Seeing the driver following the little guy, Bai Xiao declined: "No need to bother, the teacher can just take a taxi."
I don’t know what the Yu family would think if they knew that I had taken advantage of a child. Besides... Yu Shaoting’s words were still fresh in my ears. Thinking of that suffocating kiss and seeing Yu Jingxi’s big, dark eyes, I felt ashamed.
Get red.
"You'd better go back quickly." Bai Xiao ignored Yu Jingxi's disappointed expression and walked straight to the office.
Yu Jingxi, who had been waiting for Bai Xiao to regret, gave up when he saw Bai Xiao enter the office and close the door. He lowered his head feebly. After a while, he raised his head and asked the driver: "Uncle Liang, do you think Xiao Bai is empathic?"
Stop falling in love?"
…
After saying goodbye to the other teachers, Bai Xiao took her bag and went out. As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned.
In the corner next to the office, a little man was sitting on the ground, holding a big schoolbag, stretching his neck and looking at the office. When he saw her coming out, he jumped up and ran to her, smiling brightly: "Xiaobai, I
I’ll accompany you to see grandma.”
Bai Xiao was a little surprised, and subconsciously pressed the back of her hand against his cheek. It was indeed cold, but exceptionally soft.
"Where's the driver?"
"I asked Uncle Liang to go back first."
Looking at the smiling child, Bai Xiao felt complicated. She touched his head and couldn't say a word.
Yu Jingxi took the initiative to put his little hand into her palm, "Xiaobai, let's go."
Bai Xiao thought that no one could resist such a cute child. When she appeared at the door of the hospital with Yu Jingxi in hand, she didn't even know why she agreed to bring him here.
"Miss Bai, this is..." The nurse pointed curiously at the beautiful child Bai Xiao brought.
Bai Xiao took off Yu Jingxi's schoolbag and put it on the sofa, "He is a student in my class and said he wanted to come and see grandma."
Bai Xiao didn't need to say more, Yu Jingxi had already politely called out: "Hello, grandma, my name is Yu Jingxi."
"This child is so good!" The nurse's heart softened when she was called by such a beautiful child: "Have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten yet, Xiaobai...the teacher hasn't eaten either. She wants to see grandma first."
The nurse looked at the old and the young, one was filial and the other was sensible, which made her feel distressed: "Miss Bai, I will go to the cafeteria to help you get some food back."
"That's troublesome for grandma." Yu Jingxi dropped another sugar-coated bullet.
After the nurse left with the lunch box, he walked slowly to the side of the patient's bed. When Bai Xiao came out of the bathroom, she saw him lying on the bedside, tilting his head and staring at Zhou Aihua, as if he was looking at some strange treasure.
.
"What are you looking at?" Bai Xiao wiped Zhou Aihua's hands with a hot and wet towel and asked Yu Jingxi funnyly.
The little guy straightened up and looked at Bai Xiao: "What disease does grandma have?"
"Heart disease." Bai Xiao looked at Zhou Aihua with worry in his eyes.
Yu Jingxi nodded in understanding and pursed his lips.
Before the two of them came to take care of their aunt's lunch, the guards of the Yu family arrived.
Guard Xiao Chen was a young man, wearing a crisp military uniform, searching from ward to ward. When he saw Yu Jingxi sitting next to him, he excitedly came in and hugged Yu Jingxi: "Little Tai Sui, you are really found."
is you!"
Noticing that there was another person sitting in the room, Xiao Chen wanted to salute, but he was holding Xiao Tai Sui in his arms and was a little confused for a moment.
Bai Xiao was so embarrassed that she stood up and said hello first: "I brought little Yu Jingxi here without calling you to make you worry."
"Oh, Driver Liang has already called home. It's just that the old lady misses her grandson."
Yu Jingxi was surprisingly well-behaved this time and let Xiao Chen carry her away, but Bai Xiao was not used to it.
…
In the evening, Yu Shaoting returned home and found that the child who was supposed to go to his grandma's house was sitting in the living room holding a pillow, not watching his favorite cartoon, but turning his head to glance at the door from time to time.
Seeing him come back, he immediately stood up and said in a loud voice, "Dad."
Yu Shaoting couldn't help but glance at him again, but his expression didn't change. He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa. He hugged him into the bedroom only to find that Yu Jingxi was following behind.
Yu Shaoting stopped taking off his clothes and looked at his unusual son: "Have you finished your homework?"
Yu Jingxi nodded hesitantly: "It's done."
"Bring me the workbook."
Yu Jingxi was a little nervous. Her father had never checked her homework before, "Maybe it needs to be revised."
"Then come and talk to me after you finish revising it."
After being driven out of the bedroom, Yu Jingxi felt really irritable, but when she thought that she was asking for help from her father, she still returned to her small room, climbed on the stool, spread out her notebook, and started racking her brains to write with a pencil.
