Chapter 96

Because of this accident, the airport expressway was severely congested and the traffic could not be opened for a while. After Bai Hao arrived, he told Jin Yan that it was too late and they came over the next day.

Although it was a false alarm, Jin Yan was still scared and didn't fall asleep all night. If Bai Hao hadn't warned him not to pick him up, he would have wished he would put on a scarf and gloves at dawn and squatted at the gate of the sanatorium. He was originally a greedy person, and he didn't even want to eat breakfast in the morning. He drank a glass of soy milk perfunctorily, and did not watch games on TV or play. He sat in front of the window and stared downstairs nervously, looking like a man looking at the stone.

Li Shuyi rarely scolded him. He walked to the cabinet where he specially placed snacks. As soon as he opened it, the veins on his forehead couldn't help but jump.

He didn't eat snacks and didn't care before. He just thought that this place looked like a black hole, and Jin Yan could take out food from it at any time. He also knew that the things Bai Hao sent to Jin Yan had never stopped after leaving, but he really didn't expect it to be so spectacular, three layers, full of them, like supermarket shelves. Just under Li Shuyi's nose, there was a basket of chocolates of different flavors and brands.

Li Shuyi patiently flipped through it, and found a pack of nutritious cereal biscuits, walked over and threw it into Jin Yan's arms. Jin Yan said with a depressed expression: "I don't have an appetite."

Li Shuyi looked cold and said, "I don't want to throw it away. Anyway, it wasn't what I bought, and it wasn't my money." As he said that, he reached out to act as a gesture to get it back.

Jin Yan turned around to avoid him and said anxiously: "I, I, I suddenly have an appetite again!" Then he hurriedly unpacked the packaging bag, picked up the biscuits and started to chew. Li Shuyi glanced at him speechlessly, afraid that he would choke, and after eating too much biscuits, he took a box of fresh milk, inserted a straw and stuffed it into his hand.

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Jin Yan bit the straw and turned his head back, looking out the window intently, for fear of missing a figure. Li Shuyi wanted to type out the four words "unsuccessful" and stick it on his head, so how could he be so stupid? Fortunately, God opened his eyes, which made Bai Hao, who had a sudden misunderstanding in his mind, become normal again in the middle, otherwise Jin Yan would not know what would happen to the rest of his life.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the person who had been guarding the window suddenly stood up, grabbed his coat and put it on randomly, and opened the door without saying a word and rushed out. Li Shuyi wanted him to run slowly and couldn't even have time.

Li Shuyi stood up and walked to the window. Sure enough, he saw Bai Hao walking here, almost reaching the garden downstairs. But he suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a nervous expression. In a few seconds, Jin Yan rushed into his arms like a lit firework, knocking everyone back a few steps.

Bai Hao hugged him hard, constantly lowering his head to say something to him, but the person he was holding did not move, and only buried his head in his arms and wrapped his hands tightly around his waist. Bai Hao smiled helplessly, stopped talking, patted his back lightly, and kissed him one by one on top of his head.

It was clearly such a cold day, but the scene in front of me inexplicably makes people feel warm and even a little envious. It seems that people who are watching can also realize that they have never been destroyed, never experienced disappointment and injury, as if they were moved for the first time, and they had to rush towards someone's feelings regardless of everything.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Shuyi's mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but fall behind Bai Hao for searching. There was no familiar figure he had. There was a flash of disappointment in his heart, but the feelings had not yet caused a stir, and he ignored it.

Bai Hao quickly led Jin Yan back. When Li Shuyi said that he hadn't eaten in the morning, he immediately didn't know whether to say "train" or "coax" to Jin Yan, then took his short coat, found a long and thick down jacket to him, and wanted to take him to the restaurant. He stepped out his feet, and suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle Li, I have something to deal with, and I won't be there in the afternoon." Then he led Jin Yan away.

Li Shuyi frowned.

He actually didn't really want to see Bai Jing at this time. He knew too much about his virtue. Jin Yan would give Bai Hao an impatient hug because of what happened last night. He would only scold the other party for not staying in Jinhai, which implicated him in the evening and alarmed a large group of people.

Uncle Wu said that he was unforgivable, and he admitted that this was not a problem that happened overnight. He had never known how to express his closeness and liking such soft emotions since he was a child. Instead, he learned it from Jiang Manqing to the fullest, so the last sentence he said to his father was: I never want to hear your voice again.

I don't know why I suddenly recalled the past.

Li Shuyi's expression gradually became colder. He took out his phone and found Li Nian's photo for a while, thinking that no matter what, he could not raise another Li Shuyi in this world.

When the knock on the door sounded in the afternoon, Li Shuyi thought it was Bai Jing and the others. He hadn't seen Zuo Mingyuan for a long time, so he planned to say a few words to him when he saw someone.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw clearly the person standing outside the door. Li Shuyi was stunned and said in surprise for a while: "Uncle Zhao?"

Zhao Hui didn't expect that he opened the door without asking, and explained slightly crampedly: "I, I'll come and see you." Zhao Qingqing, who was standing behind him, also poked her head out and looked at Li Shuyi curiously.

Li Shuyi came back to his senses and hurriedly took a step back and invited the person into the room. When he poured the tea, he saw that Zhao Hui was still standing restrained and handed the tea over, so that he would not look like this: "Uncle Zhao, sit down."

Then Zhao Hui put down a bag of fruits in his hand, took the tea in his hands and sat on the sofa.

Li Shuyi looked at Zhao Qingqing who had been following her father again, opened Jin Yan's snack cabinet, picked some candy, chocolate and biscuits and put them on the coffee table in front of her, half-squatted down to look at her, and softened her voice: "Your name is Qingqing, right? Brother..." He was stunned for a moment, and soon reacted, and smiled again, "Uncle doesn't know what you like to eat, should you choose it yourself?"

Zhao Qingqing is a lively and cute little girl, but she is a little afraid of life. She has no impression of Li Shuyi, whom she met once a year ago. She only feels that he is kind and gentle in his speech. She shyly shyly shyly behind Zhao Hui and nods gently.

Li Shuyi stood up with a gentle smile on her face, and looked at Zhao Hui and asked, "Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"

Zhao Hui lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

Zhao Qingqing's grandmother's house is in a town called Tunpu below Longtan City. A few days ago, the old man accidentally fell and entered the hospital. He thought it was wrong, so Zhao Hui and his wife quickly brought their daughter to the scene, afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the last time. Fortunately, after rescue, the old man was out of danger, and the situation is now stable. Before Zhao Qingqing had a winter vacation, Zhao Hui wanted to send her back to school first, so he came over to see Li Shuyi before he walked over.

After listening to it, Li Shuyi said unexpectedly: "Uncle Zhao, how do you know I'm here?"

Zhao Hui didn't dare to look at him, and his eyes dodged: "Mr. Bai gave me his phone number when he came to me to ask you. I can't contact you this year. I found out that you were sick and had not woken up after the operation." After he said that, he probably felt that he was hypocritical and shameful that he had just come to the door to express his concern. He smiled bitterly, "I should have come a long time ago. But for so many years, how did I do to you... I don't have the face to see you."

Seeing that Li Shuyi didn't say anything, he tightened the teacup even more nervously: "I have been in contact with that Mr. Bai. I heard that you are already well some time ago. I still want to take a look at him... I was completely relieved."

Li Shuyi listened to him silently, but when he spoke again, he smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Zhao, you said it wrong..." He curled his smile, his voice hoarse, "I don't have the face to see you."

Zhao Hui was stunned and looked up at him, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

After so many years, he has never seen Li Shuyi well. In my memory, he is still a boy with a bad temper and likes to go alone, but is extremely smart and independent. He is still the boy who left a thin back after saying goodbye to them at the airport. At that time, he grew up to a mature man who was taller than him and had a moderate approach to things.

He is not like the Li family at all. He is not as honest and dull as his father, nor as optimistic and cheerful as his aunt. Although he has tried hard to restrain himself when facing him, Zhao Hui can still feel a certain atmosphere from him - a killing decision that only those who have been tempered by the world and have been stained with blood.

At the beginning, their family fell apart. Faced with the sudden blow, he was so scared that he threw away all his guilt and comforted himself that he was just an insignificant, powerless and powerless ordinary man, and was at ease and accepted his life. He left a deserter who was less than 20 years old, and with three lives on his back to fight against a giant that could crush him.

So later Zhao Hui didn't want to see him. As soon as he saw Li Shuyi like this, he couldn't help but think about what he had experienced later, and he went from a willful and immature boy to a sharp blade. At the same time, he had a new lover and a new family, and lived a stable and happy life. Only when he dreamed of returning to Jinhai City, would he remember that there was a lonely Li Shuyi in Jinhai City.

Zhao Hui's eyes turned red, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty and uncomfortable. But what he should have said had been said to Li Shuyi more than a year ago. If he kept his guilt on his mouth all the time, it would seem like he was just to comfort himself and ask for peace of mind.

Zhao Hui took a sip of tea, blinked the wetness in the corner of his eyes through the steaming heat on the teacup, calmed down, put down the teacup and stood up, "I used to tell Wenying that she and her elder brother are too spoiled of you and are not good to you." He smiled, "So she got angry and said to me, 'My family's calligraphy is good everywhere, I can do it better than anyone else in the future, and have a future better than anyone else'."

Wenying...Li Wenying.

It took Li Shuyi no longer to hear someone mention this name, and he was stunned.

"It seems that your aunt knows you best." Zhao Hui shook his hand and finally plucked up the courage to pat Li Shuyi's arm. His face was the look of the elders in the family who were relieved when they grew up.

He brought Zhao Qingqing together: "Then I won't disturb you from resting, Qingqing and I have to go to the station."

Li Shuyi seemed to have regained his mind and went to get his coat anxiously: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Zhao Hui had already walked to the door. It was cold outside. He was afraid that Li Shuyi would catch up with him and caught a cold. He hurriedly opened the door and waved his hands: "No, no... When we came, Mr. Bai was still sending us. I'm not going to bother you." He probably thought that Bai Jing and Li Shuyi had a good relationship. If he accepted the kindness of others, it was equivalent to accepting Li Shuyi.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw two people standing on the corridor, Bai Jing and Zuo Mingyuan.

Zuo Mingyuan and others were bored when they saw Zhao Hui, and they smiled kindly: "Mr. Zhao, the car is downstairs, I'll take you to the station."

Why did Zhao Hui feel embarrassed to bother her twice? But Zuo Mingyuan is the one who knows how to watch people and dishes. It is remote and difficult to find a car. The weather is cold and the child is not freezing. Zhao Hui hesitated and followed Li Shuyi who was by the door and answered: "Uncle Zhao, please let him take you there. I don't feel at ease if I am so far."

As soon as he made a sound, Bai Jing, who had been watching them pulling, raised his head and his eyes fell on him... and could not move away.

He wore a white shirt today, and the hem of the clothes was stuffed into straight suit pants, outlining a narrow waistline. In the past, he could only look up in a wheelchair, and felt it was difficult and he didn't like to be inferior. Usually there was no expression on his face and he was too lazy to communicate with others. Now he is not wearing sick clothes anymore, nor is he much shorter than Bai Jing. His appearance when he was talking... was Li Shuyi in the past.

Although Bai Jing had seen it in the photo, he could almost hear the violent heartbeat in his chest when he saw him standing in front of him like this.

Zhao Hui could not resist Zuo Mingyuan's enthusiasm and had to follow the person. He walked out in a panic for a few steps. It was Zhao Qingqing who pulled his hand and said something before he stopped.

Li Shuyi was still standing by the door and staring at them. She thought there was something wrong and was about to go over and ask, but Zhao Qingqing ran back and stood in front of him, opened the rabbit-shaped small bag beside her, took out something from it, and handed it to him with both hands.

Li Shuyi bent over and took it. Just as she was about to ask her what she was, she saw her raise her head, open her round eyes, and a small dimples appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was clear and pleasant: "Goodbye brother!" Then she turned her head and ran away, and her two pigtails made a cute curve, and she could also see the strawberry hairpin behind her head.

Li Shuyi froze on her face in order to talk to her, and her hands trembled unconsciously, and her head was blank like a broken line. She didn't even know when Bai Jing would be taken back to the room.

When he calmed down, he opened the envelope in his hand and a greeting card appeared inside. It was about Christmas. The cover of the greeting card was a Santa Claus with a smile and squinted eyes. He was driving the reindeer to fly in the night sky. There were also a bunch of small animals in Christmas uniforms sitting next to him. They all smiled and squinted their eyes, holding gifts and cheering.

Li Shuyi carefully opened the greeting card and wrote a sentence in it with colorful watercolor pens. The font is a bit immature: I wish Brother Li Shuyi a speedy recovery. The three words "Zhao Qingqing" were left at the end, and a big smiling face was drawn next to it.

Li Shuyi was stunned and held the greeting card in a daze, reading the words one by one, over and over again. He read the words blurred and couldn't see clearly, and he was still silently chanting "Brother Li Shuyi".

From that gray afternoon, he hurriedly opened the door of the house and searched all the rooms. After only seeing two cold urns, some of Li Shuyi was imprisoned there forever. He was imprisoned in a cramped corner, repenting and blaming himself all day long, and was in pain. Until today, when Zhao Qingqing's brother was waiting for Zhao Qingqing's voice, it seemed like another girl, a girl with his aunt's eyes and smile, also called him through Zhao Qingqing's voice, and then told him: Brother, you should go out.

The softest part in his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and even his breathing was painful. Li Shuyi heard someone calling him, and he looked up in a daze. The world was soaked in a circle of swaying tears, and he could only see a complete figure.

Before the tears fell, someone grabbed the back of his head with his palm, and then he was pressed into a warm embrace.

The man who was holding him was wearing a woolen coat, probably because he had been standing outside for a long time, and there was a little cold and dampness on his clothes. His voice was also cold and he had no emotions, and he only said one sentence.

"Li Shuyi, you are not wrong."

This man was not surprised or despised when he saw his tears, but only pressed his head into his arms, just like he did when he first saw his tears. He knew that he did not need to be cared for and comforted at this moment, so he helped him block the tears and accompany him quietly as he did at that time.

The previous sentence "Li Shuyi, bear it anymore" was almost all the support for his survival when he took revenge. Now, this person saw the knot that had been trapping him, so he told him again: Li Shuyi, you are not wrong.

Li Shuyi clenched Bai Jing's clothes with both hands, and tears almost completely uncontrollably overflowed.

A lot of voices rang in his ears.

Jin Yan said, we all understand you. Fu Ying said, as long as you live well, Mr. Wu said, I hope you will take good care of yourself.

...In the end, Bai Jing told him that you are not wrong.

The wounds in the past, the wounds left by Jiang Manqing, the wounds left by himself, all the pain, regret and self-torture that were stubborn... finally began to heal and finally waited for relief.

Li Shuyi has lived to this day and has never been as relaxed and relieved as this moment.

The last shackles handcuffed to him also fell.
