The conversation always revolves around people who are not present.
Just like at this moment, Zhang Cuilan was the only one in the ward who kept talking about it. An old story came out of her mouth, which also caused the two girls present to fall into silence for a while.
This story was completely unexpected by Zhu Shushu. She never expected that the always optimistic Zhao Xuanying would have such a past incident again.
People always have sympathy for tragic things.
Not to mention that such a tragic story happened to someone she knew well. She already had a good impression of Zhao Xuanying, and now she wanted to make her life better.
The atmosphere became dull, and Zhu Shushu, who had lowered her head and been silent for a long time, then spoke in a low voice and responded.
"That is to say...grandma, you are not sister Yingying's biological grandmother?"
"Um."
"Does Sister Yingying know this too..."
"Um."
After two "ums", Zhu Shushu pursed her lips and looked back at the door of the ward where the five people passed by.
After looking away, he looked at Zhou Qing, whose eyes were also red.
This new friend of mine seems to be very emotional.
Just hearing about Zhao Xuanying's life experience made me feel so much that I almost cried.
Recalling my usual interactions with Zhao Xuanying, the sister who always loved to smile and took care of me tenderly had such a sympathetic past.
Now he is facing the entanglement of his biological father, and he has been living in depression.
"Sister Yingying is so pitiful...but luckily she met you, grandma."
"Maybe this is fate. I liked her very much when I first saw her."
Zhang Cuilan replied on the hospital bed, Zhu Shushu's words brought back memories in her mind.
The mother and daughter who moved here suddenly broke into her life. When she first saw her childhood Zhao Xuanying, Zhang Cuilan's mediocre life was greatly improved by her appearance.
It was also during that time that she gradually accepted the other person and regarded him as her own child.
It wasn't until Zhao Xuanying's mother had an accident and she couldn't contact her family that she finally made the move to adopt her.
Over the years... Zhang Cuilan, who has no children and her husband passed away early, felt the warmth of a family for the first time, and it was for this reason that she cherished the child Zhao Xuanying.
Because of this, when Chen Shikun came to her door, she did not resist the other party's suggestion to meet Zhao Xuanying, but took the initiative to help match up...
Everything is considered for Zhao Xuanying.
It's just that sometimes, I don't take the child's true thoughts into consideration.
The heart-to-heart talk between the grandmothers and grandchildren has made Zhang Cuilan clearly realize that Zhao Xuanying, who has been dependent on her for many years, does not care about whether they are related by blood or not. All she cares about is living with her grandmother.
Even if her biological father is extremely wealthy, even if he can easily help her escape from poverty.
However, in this case, the one she chose was herself...
It was Zhao Xuanying's choice that made Zhang Cuilan feel that she was not alone in this world.
She also has her own child, her granddaughter.
"Yingying is my granddaughter...no one can take her away from me."
The sighing words came from her mouth. Even though Zhang Cuilan looked very weak lying on the hospital bed, her tone when she said these words was particularly firm.
Family love is not just the maintenance of blood ties, but also the trust established by getting along day and night.
Five or six minutes had passed since Zhao Xuanying left the ward. Just when Zhu Shushu was a little worried and wanted to go out to investigate, she bumped into Zhao Xuanying who had entered the room before she left the ward.
I almost didn't stop the car and collided with it. I hurriedly took two steps back to avoid the collision.
After blinking and looking at Zhao Xuanying with a melancholy expression, Zhu Shushu was a little stunned for the first time. After a while, she asked anxiously.
"That person didn't do anything to you, right?"
"No."
Shaking her head slightly, Zhao Xuanying, who was originally looking sad, immediately put on her usual smiling face after seeing Zhu Shushu.
"We just chatted for a few words, and he probably won't show up again."
"real?"
"Well, let's not talk about this anymore."
Changing the topic hurriedly, Zhao Xuanying didn't seem to want to waste her time talking too much about this issue. She looked into the room and looked at Zhou Qing, who had been staring at her since she entered the room.
When a few people were chatting, Zhao Xuanying felt that this child looked familiar.
Now that some distance has passed, this feeling has become even stronger.
He stepped into the house, and after sitting back down, he stared at the girl in front of him with some confusion.
Such a direct gaze made Zhou Qing feel a little shy. The shy girl almost ducked under the bed with her head lowered after being stared at like this.
His legs were clamped together, and his whole body was as stiff as wood.
"I... really want to see you somewhere."
"Are you Qingqing? Sister Yingying, have you seen her before?"
As soon as the words came out, the person involved, Zhou Qing, did not say a word, but Zhu Shushu, who followed him back to his seat, asked curiously.
His eyes looked back and forth in front of the two of them.
First, he glanced at Zhao Xuanying, who was staring straight at Zhou Qing, and then at Zhou Qing, who had her head lowered and was too shy to look at her.
Zhu Shushu didn't expect that the two might know each other. After all, Zhou Qing was just a new friend she had just met after transferring to another school.
The world shouldn't be this small...
"Well, I have met Sister Yingying a long time ago..."
Zhou Qing responded in a low voice.
He raised his slightly lowered head, glanced at Zhao Xuanying, and then quickly lowered his head.
She was sitting on the empty hospital bed, her toes touching the ground.
The way of addressing Zhao Xuanying is also unknowingly the same as that of Zhu Shushu.
"When I heard you mention Sister Yingying at first, I thought it was just someone with the same name. After we met today, I realized it was her..."
"What do you mean? You mean you know Sister Yingying?"
"From the same school before."
"A school?"
This time it was Zhu Shushu's turn to be stunned.
After all, Zhao Xuanying is now a sophomore in high school. The two schools are not the same at all. How could she say such things about the previous school?
Doubts arose in her mind, and Zhu Shushu reacted in the next second.
He raised his index finger and waved it twice in the air.
"I understand. When you were in the first year of junior high school, sister Yingying happened to be in the third year of junior high school, so it makes sense."
"No, that's right..."
Nodding in agreement, the girl's cheeks were already stained with crimson, maybe because she was too nervous. Just looking directly at Zhao Xuanying, an easy move, was extremely difficult for her at this moment.
The eyes he glanced at each other were filled with excitement and gratitude.
He opened his mouth a few times, but no sound came out. After hesitating for a long time, he staggered and spoke as if he mustered up the courage.
As she narrated, time seemed to go back more than two years ago.
An inconspicuous story unfolded in front of the other three as she described it.
Sometimes...the world is really small.
It's so small, but there are familiar people everywhere.
