For a moment, all the expressions on Chen Ming's face were glazed over.
Chen Ming looked at Han Bingbing, his expression became much calmer.
Before this, Han Bingbing had imagined many situations.
Chen Ming might scold him, he might be shocked, he might be in pain...
But at this moment, Chen Ming was just silent and quiet.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Ming lowered his head and asked, “When did you leave?”
Chen Ming didn't ask if this was true or not, because he had a bad premonition before coming, but he just didn't want to think about it.
More importantly, Han Bingbing is here.
As a college student, it is not a reasonable thing to leave school during the holidays.
Chen Ming is not stupid.
The only way Han Bingbing could appear in the hospital was because of the old director.
All Chen Ming's nagging before was just because he didn't want Han Bingbing to speak.
Because Chen Ming knew that Han Bingbing might tell him news that he couldn't accept.
Unexpectedly, Han Bingbing finally said it.
The moment Chen Ming heard the news, he didn't feel much sadness. He just felt that the old man left quietly without even saying hello.
"In the early morning of September 28th."
Han Bingbing's eyes were slightly red, but he answered with a smile.
The 28th...
Chen Ming thought about it for a moment. He couldn't remember what happened that day. He only remembered that the wind was very strong.
In other words, the old dean has been gone for more than a month.
Before Chen Ming could continue to ask, Han Bingbing folded his hands and continued: "The cancer cells suddenly spread. The surgery started in the afternoon and ended at night, but there was no way to save it."
This time, Chen Ming didn't say why he didn't call him.
Thinking about it, I know that the old dean certainly didn’t want his condition to affect Chen Ming. Besides,
Before Chen Ming went to Kyoto, he mentioned to the old dean that he was going to Kyoto for a few months.
As a result, the old dean will not even call him.
After a long time, Chen Ming let out a low hum.
The two fell into silence, as if they didn't know what to say at this moment.
In the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, Su Rou and three others looked at Chen Ming from a distance.
The expression on Chen Ming's face changed obviously, from the joy when he just left, to the nagging afterwards, and then to the silence at the end.
Seeing this scene, Su Rou felt very distressed.
But this matter must be told to Chen Ming sooner or later, and it cannot be kept secret for long.
To be honest, Su Rou would rather see Chen Ming cry and vent all her inner emotions.
However, Chen Ming did not.
He just lowered his head, and his thin bangs drooped down, blocking his eyes.
His two hands were rubbing each other, and the thumb of his left hand was rubbing the back of the thumb of his right hand repeatedly. He said nothing.
Chen Ming's performance was too calm.
It's so calm that it makes people feel a little scared.
Not only that, Han Bingbing was also very silent.
Two grown men sat on a bench on the lawn outside the hospital, saying nothing.
The old dean had bad luck.
His condition was only delayed for more than a year, maybe because it was too late when the condition was discovered. Even if he spent a lot of hospitalization expenses every day, it would not have much effect.
Strange to say, Chen Ming had no desire to cry.
When he heard the news, Chen Ming just subconsciously recalled the past time instead of crying and fussing without any scruples.
In Chen Ming's memory, the old dean was the first person to give him a gift.
Many times, children of the same age would call him a bastard who has no parents, and he would go up to fight with others. However, he was too thin when he was a child and could not fight others.
Basically every time, he was the one getting beaten.
Over time, the character of this world has been smoothed away.
He learned to be silent and pretend not to hear.
He even began to enjoy spending time alone.
It wasn't until the pencil case given to him by the old dean was snatched away that Chen Ming once again had unwilling thoughts.
He wants to steal back what was stolen.
wrong!
It was originally his thing, how could he use the word "steal"?
The process went smoothly!
Chen Ming took back his pencil case, but was framed as a thief and smashed the pencil case in front of him.
That time, Chen Ming went up to fight with others again.
Although he fought desperately, making the other party feel a little scared.
But his body was too thin, so he was beaten in the end.
In the end, it was the old dean who went to the school to take him back to the orphanage.
Growing up, the old dean gave Chen Ming many things, ranging from pencils and books to watches and sneakers.
Chen Ming's first mobile phone was also given to him by his old dean.
Now, the person who gave him the things is gone.
Chen Ming felt a little emotional and a little sad.
I don't know how long it took, but Han Bingbing's voice sounded again: "Grandpa left a letter for you, but I didn't read it."
With that said, Han Bingbing took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming took it silently and joked with a smile: "What age is it? There are still people using envelopes."
He wanted to smile.
But he smiled and his expression calmed down again.
Han Bingbing showed no emotion at all.
For him,
Over the past month or so, I have been able to put away my sadness and tears.
and,
He can't have an emotional breakdown.
He wanted to look at Chen Ming.
He was afraid that Chen Ming would have an emotional breakdown.
Chen Ming opened the envelope and took out the thin letter inside.
Spread it out and take a look,
There are not many words on the letter, barely a few hundred words.
Chen Ming looked at it very seriously.
During this period,
Chen Ming made no other moves, just sat there and watched quietly.
After a long time,
Chen Ming collected the envelope and put it in his pocket.
"Where is grandpa now?"
Chen Ming asked softly.
"The hospital morgue could only store it for a week, but Uncle Su took care of it and kept it there until now."
Han Bingbing replied.
Chen Ming stood up and said, "Go and have a look."
Han Bingbing stood up and led the way, and the two of them walked towards the hospital.
Seeing this, Su Rou hurriedly came forward.
for a time,
Su Chuanxiong, Su Wen and Su Rou all looked at Chen Ming.
Their eyes were full of complexity, while Su Rou's beautiful eyes were filled with distress.
"Thanks."
Chen Ming bowed to Su Wen.
His words became few and far between.
Su Wen opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he just patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.
Both Su Chuanxiong and Su Wen were surprised. Chen Ming's reaction was too calm and showed no signs of sadness at all.
When Su Rou's mother passed away, Su Wen cried for several days.
But now,
Chen Ming just talked less.
Suppressed sadness is always more painful and deafening than unrestrained venting.
