A star hotel closest to the hospital.

The entire two floors were covered by Jin Hai.

"I live next door."

If it had been before, Miss Shi would have led people directly into her room, but she did not do so at this time.

After opening the curtains, she looked at the sunset outside and stood quietly in trance.

Jiang Chen, who had come from afar, put down his suitcase.

"What should I do if my dad can't wake up this time?"

Jiang Chen turned his head. The back that used to be domineering and willful now looked particularly weak against the backdrop of the tall buildings.

He can understand the other person's mood.

For everyone, father is a tall and towering mountain, protecting him from wind and rain.

But now the mountain has fallen.

"Ji people have their own destiny, and Shi Dong will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."

Even if I understand that any comfort is too pale, there is nothing else to say.

"Although the doctor dare not say it clearly, I know that my dad's condition is not optimistic."

Shi Xixi's voice was full of confusion, helplessness, and hesitation.

In her perception, her father is an omnipotent person and a superhero in her world. No matter what kind of trouble she causes, he can help her deal with the aftermath. Even if she deliberately made trouble at the charity dinner, her father

He didn't really get angry either.

It seems that ever since she was little, her father has always been the one to blame her. No matter how much she did, he never got angry with her. At most, he only scolded her a few times.

She thought this situation would continue forever.

But an explosion woke her up.

My father is also an ordinary person, he can get hurt, and he can even...

Shi Xixi didn't dare to think any more, she clenched her hands tightly and dug her fingertips into her palms.

"How old are you this year?"

Jiang Chen walked to the side.

Shi Xixi was caught off guard, but she still turned around and replied: "Twenty-five, what's wrong?"

"Many people at your age are married and have children."

Jiang Chen looked at the sunset outside and said softly: "Life is always full of all kinds of accidents, good and bad, happy and sad. Just like the sunset, some people find it sad, and some find it beautiful.

, but whether people like it or not, it will always happen, over and over again. We cannot change it based on personal preferences, all we can do is face it calmly."

Shi Xixi was silent for a long time.

"Am I really old?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

"This is the first time you have spoken to me for such a long time."

Jiang Chen changed the subject: "Are you hungry? I'll ask the hotel to send you some food."

Jiang Chen turned around and went to order food.

Shi Xixi withdrew her gaze and continued to silently watch the sunset enter the dusk.

"Jiang Chen, do you think love will really disappear?"

While eating, Shi Xixi suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?"

"My mother insisted on marrying my father despite the opposition of so many people, but she had to divorce. Now that something serious happened to my father, I can't see any sadness in her. Why can she be so

Cold-blooded?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a while.

In the past, he would definitely not have said much about questions like this about other people's family affairs.

But now this witch is probably at the lowest point in her life and needs some spiritual comfort.

"There are some things that you don't understand now, and you won't understand until you get to that age. Just like when we were young, the teacher always told us to cherish our days in school, saying that it was a time that we would never be able to go back to, but we didn't take it seriously.

It’s scornful, but what’s the result?”

"Aunt Meng is different from you. Now Shi Dong is lying on the hospital bed, and the whole Jinhai is looking at her. If you think she is not sad, it does not mean that she is heartless, but the reality does not allow her to show any weakness."

Jiang Chen looked at her.

"One night and a hundred days of kindness, if she really doesn't care at all, why would she fly over immediately. When Shi Dong falls, it's her turn as a mother to hold up the sky for you."

Shi Qianqian paused with her chopsticks and her eyes trembled. After a while, she smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "You haven't even graduated from college. How can you understand so many great principles?"

"Life is the best teacher."

Looking at the smiling young man, Shi Xixi then remembered that his parents had died long ago.

In the past, "both parents were dead" was just a label and an adjective in her eyes, but now she gradually realized how heavy these four words really were.

"I'm stuffed."

Shi Xixi silently put down her chopsticks.

"Do you still want to go to the hospital?"

"Um."

"Bring this with you."

Jiang Chen picked up the packed lunch box next to him and said, "Aunt Meng is probably not in the mood to eat. Send it to her and persuade her to eat something. At this time, you have to take care of yourself."

Shi Qianqian was slightly startled, and could not help but feel a sense of sourness from her throat to her eyes. She bit her lip and said, "Thank you."

"If there's anything I can do to help, you're welcome."

Jiang Chen handed over the lunch box.

"Well, I'll leave first."

Shi Xixi took the lunch box, stood up and left.

"boom."

When she walked out of the room and closed the door, she leaned against the door, wiped the corners of her eyes, exhaled deeply, then returned to her natural state, and walked quickly towards the elevator.

"mom."

Outside the intensive care unit.

Seeing her mother put down the phone, Shi Qianqian shouted.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Although no media reported the explosion due to the joint suppression of Jin Hai and official forces, many hotel residents, staff, and passers-by outside were still aware of such a big news.

After spreading through private channels, many important people have now gotten the news and have called to express their concern.

There are many people among them who have ulterior motives or who take pleasure in others' misfortune.

Seeing her mother's casual greetings just now, and the tiredness that could not be concealed in the corners of her eyes after putting down the phone, Shi Qianqian understood the meaning of Jiang Chen's words even more.

Shopping malls are like battlefields.

Now that my father has fallen, I don’t know how many people are eager to watch. If you expose your weakness at this time, it will further embolden the ambitions.

"Why don't you rest in the hotel?"

Meng Meiling turned her head.

"Mom, you haven't eaten yet? I'll bring you food."

Looking at the lunch box in her daughter's hand, Meng Meiling also noticed the change in her daughter's tone.

Not long ago, she was scolded for being cold-blooded and heartless.

"I'm not hungry."

"Mom, Jiang Chen prepared this. Dad is already like this. What will I do if you fall down again?"

Meng Meiling was even more surprised.

There is nothing better than knowing a daughter as a mother.

Such words are not something that can be said from the mouth of a girl like myself.

"Mom, whether you are hungry or not, you have to eat something."

Shi Xixi forced her mother to sit on a bench in the corridor, opened the lunch box and took apart the chopsticks.

After all, Meng Meiling did not reject her daughter's filial piety.

"Where's Xiaojiang?"

"at the hotel."
