For the first time in his life, Li Xiaohei tasted the strong sweetness in the bitter and spicy liquor.
That sweet breath spreads in his life with a soft aftertaste, changing his destiny little by little.
He and Bai Xiaobai came together almost naturally. Within a month, there were no twists and turns, no thrills, no tests. Both parties accepted each other smoothly.
Li Xiaohei sometimes thinks of past lives that he doesn't know actually happened.
In his memory, Bai Xiaobai in his previous life was extremely cold towards him. The two of them got along awkwardly for nearly half a year before he turned her into his woman and his fiancée.
But in this life, after experiencing hardship and despair, life ushered in a turning point when he was least mentally prepared. Bai Xiaobai gave him a candy, and the sweet taste penetrated into his bones.
He started working in Bai Xiaobai's advertising agency.
Because of his own reasons, it is difficult for him to carry out real management work, and Bai Xiaobai has not considered giving him a management position, because if he is really given a middle-to-high-level position, those under him will spend most of the time
I'm afraid I can't even see my own leader.
Li Xiaohei worked as Bai Xiaobai's personal assistant, driver, and part-time as a bodyguard of little significance.
In terms of salary, neither Li Xiaohei nor Bai Xiaobai mentioned it. These days, it seems to be a natural and correct attitude to hand over your salary to your wife or girlfriend, but when you work in your girlfriend's company, you don't even have to pay the salary.
Save it.
Bai Xiaobai pays attention to efficiency when he is working, and his coolness and reserve will naturally turn into seriousness and severity when he is in leadership.
When he first took over the job, Li Xiaohei would inevitably make mistakes, and whenever this happened, Bai Xiaobai would not be polite to him. He would scold him when he needed to, and would point out any mistakes on the spot.
But Li Xiaohei didn't think there was anything undignified, and Bai Xiaobai obviously didn't pay special attention to this, but all of this was just at work.
After work, Bai Xiaobai will look like a different person when she leaves the company. In the company, she is the leader, serious and stern.
Outside the company, she is Li Xiaohei's girlfriend, well-behaved and docile.
In other words, as long as it was about anything other than work, Bai Xiaobai was almost obedient to Li Xiaohei. Her home, her people, and her property naturally became Li Xiaohei's.
Little black one.
In the first month of establishing their relationship, Bai Xiaobai had already begun to consider marrying Li Xiaohei.
She was a little nervous and took Li Xiaohei to meet her parents.
There was nothing unsatisfactory about the process. Li Xiaohei did not get the kind of script where he dislikes the poor and loves the rich and then follows up with the sentence "Don't bully young people who are poor". From the actual situation, even if he got such a script, he would not be able to say this sentence.
I don’t have the confidence to shout out.
The second elder asked about Li Xiaohei's specific situation, told them to be good to each other, and generally acquiesced in their relationship.
Regarding the daughter's situation, the second elder who knows his daughter's character often cannot make the decision. Moreover, the daughter is almost thirty years old. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not too young in terms of age. It is time to get married.
The old couple worries about this all the time. Bai Xiaobai doesn't like any of the people who come to ask for marriage or are introduced in various ways.
Now she finally took the initiative to bring the person back. No matter what, at least the person looked normal and was a man, so what else could she do? As long as the daughter is willing.
Fall in love, get married, and Bai Xiaobai soon becomes pregnant.
For Li Xiaohei, all the previous hardships seemed to be completely over. He, an orphan, had a family again, a wife, and was about to have a child of his own.
After becoming pregnant, Bai Xiaobai seemed to be a little gentler at work, and there were changes in her life. The unstable emotions of pregnant women did not seem to appear on her at all, and she began to become more obedient and gentle.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law seem to be very satisfied with their lives. Although they often cannot find their son-in-law when their daughter is away, in the eyes of parents, the relationship between their daughter and son-in-law is very good, and this is enough.
Pregnancy in ten months.
Bai Xiaobai gave birth to a boy.
A boy who clearly had a heartbeat and all examinations were normal, but had no signs of life after birth.
When the child was born, his body had become cold, he had no breathing, no body temperature, and his heart stopped after a short period of activity.
Even if she had a miscarriage during pregnancy or had the child aborted, it would be much better than now.
Holding the cold child in his arms, Li Xiaohei's eyes were spinning.
The mother-in-law, who had been expecting her grandson for a long time, could not bear the blow and fainted on the spot, becoming ill.
Less than forty-eight hours later, my father-in-law, who was going to and from the hospital, missed his footing while going downstairs and rolled down the steps. He suffered a brain hemorrhage and was found nearly half an hour later.
Father-in-law passed away.
A few days later, under repeated blows, my mother-in-law also left.
The cold wind of fate roared unbridled, sweeping through the lives of Li Xiaohei and Bai Xiaobai.
What was originally a happy event turned into one bad news after another.
Bai Xiaobai's body also completely collapsed during this hospitalization.
It was half a year later when she was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
The deterioration of her condition left her unable to control the company, and Li Xiaohei, who had no sense of presence most of the time, was also unable to shoulder such responsibility.
The two sold the company.
In order to provide treatment for his wife, the family's savings are dwindling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bai Xiaobai's condition is getting worse day by day.
Her body quickly lost weight, she was skinny and bones, her hair fell out, and she no longer looked beautiful.
Li Xiaohei stayed in the hospital almost 24 hours a day to take care of her. He didn't know what else he could do. He could only sit next to her and talk to her, or push her out in a wheelchair to watch the sunrise and sunset.
sunset.
Bai Xiaobai no longer wants to receive treatment. Since recovery is destined to be impossible, the current treatment is meaningless.
She knows how special her husband is.
So she wanted to leave some savings for her husband so that he would not have to live so hard for the rest of his life.
But for Li Xiaohei, Bai Xiaobai has become the only light in his life. If she is gone, what else does he need money for?
He didn't dare to let Bai Xiaobai leave, even if he went bankrupt.
He spent his family's savings and sold the house.
Then on the way to the hospital with the cash after selling the house, he was hit on the head by an apple thrown from a tall building by the roadside.
His world was in darkness as the world was spinning, but his consciousness always remained in the clearest state.
He was carried into the ambulance, instinctively holding the money from selling the house tightly in his hands.
He was admitted to the hospital.
In front of the hospital bed, he heard his wife's hoarse voice talking to the doctor.
He felt Bai Xiaobai hold his palm.
That was the last time he heard Bai Xiaobai's voice and felt her body temperature.
Soon after, his wife died.
His consciousness was trapped inside his body, and he was even able to see Bai Xiaobai for the last time.
After that, time began to pass meaninglessly.
His consciousness was imprisoned by his body. In the darkness, he felt that his body was shrinking, and he felt that the nurses and doctors in the hospital were becoming more and more perfunctory about his condition.
He couldn't do it even if he wanted to die.
He didn't know how much time had passed until one day the nurse spoke to the colleague next to her in the most impatient tone. The other person said that this old guy had been lying here for decades.
decades.
He heard the exact number and then realized that he was eighty years old.
The happiest childhood and teenage years.
The most abject youth period.
After the shortest period of peaceful happiness, there is the period of middle age and old age when lying motionless on the hospital bed.
Eighty years old.
Not dead yet?
When will you die?
Is it enough to survive till now?
You deserve to die.
Eighty years old, enough, time to die
He fantasized about his own death, and when his consciousness was at its most numb, he seemed to actually see death coming.
That's when the vitality is accelerating and the body begins to rapidly fail.
His consciousness was imprisoned in a dark interior by his body, and a strong fire seemed to be burning in the darkness.
The light dispelled the darkness in an extremely fierce manner.
The flames were flying and twisting.
Li Xiaohei felt that he was about to die.
The process of the official arrival of death was not very painful. Perhaps because he had been looking forward to death for so long, his consciousness emitted a happy emotion.
He watched the fire in his consciousness space getting bigger and bigger, and his thinking began to gradually become blurry.
Death comes and consciousness disappears.
Everything is just a moment.
But it was at this moment that Li Xiaohei saw the fire light changing color as it was twisting and burning.
It is an extremely pure blue.
The blue light interweaves into a symbol similar to a program.
All the images in his life showed that symbol flashing at an incomprehensible speed.
The next moment, eternal darkness descends.
Well, it's not eternity.
Li Xiaohei opened his eyes.
His body was filled with an extremely active power. The warm sunshine outside the window shone through the window. The sky was blue, the sky was white, and the sun was bright.
Li Xiaohei glanced at the surrounding environment with some confusion.
White walls, electronic guitars hanging on the walls, posters, neat desks, lamps, and neatly arranged books.
Comfortable bed, soft quilt
Looking through the window, the courtyard outside the window, the lawn outside the courtyard
Li Xiaohei subconsciously took a deep breath, but halfway through, he couldn't help but hold it back.
There were hurried footsteps outside the bedroom.
The door was pushed open.
Li Xiaohei looked at it blankly.
Looking at his mother who has disappeared from his life for decades.
She was still so gentle and gentle, with joy in her smile, as if the decades that had passed by her and the ups and downs were just a dream.
"Good son."
His mother came over with a smile and touched his head, and said in a pleased tone, "Good performance, 742 points, top scorer in the college entrance examination. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Li Xiaohei silently raised his head, then lowered it silently.
He breathed deeply, and breathed deeply again.
It wasn't until this moment that he was finally sure.
