Chapter 26

For nearly half a month, Shen's father's health has recovered very well, and Shen Zhao has been with him in the hospital, taking care of him with all his heart, from diet and daily life to emotional enlightenment.

The date of the surgery has also been fixed, on the thirteenth of next month.

Father Shen was always afraid that the cost would be too much and would increase the burden on Shen Zhao, so when he first woke up, he did not agree to the operation and said he would go home.

Shen Zhao knew what his father was thinking. His father was thinking of the older generation. He only heard that it was cancer, so he was reluctant to even try the opportunity for treatment. He was afraid of spending money, and then he was afraid that it would all be on her.

Parents are always like this, always putting their children ahead of themselves.

In order to get his father to cooperate with the operation, Shen Zhao had to find Song Ling, and asked her to cooperate with her and lied.

Song Ling is very good at negotiating and persuading people. A few words are more useful than Shen Zhao's hard work for a few days.

Shen Zhao was curious and asked her what she said.

But Song Ling was indifferent and didn't tell her.

In the past two weeks, the relationship between Shen Zhao and Song Ling has eased a lot.

Song Ling also came to the hospital to see her every day. She would leave after about half an hour after get off work every day. She only asked how the daily situation was, and left on time after half an hour.

No other things were talked about, so there was no arguing.

It's just that from that night, Song Ling stopped letting her sleep alone in the original house, and she was forced to live in Song Ling's bedroom and sleep in the same bed.

Song Ling often worked overtime until very late, so in most cases, Song Ling would come back after Shen Zhao had already fallen asleep.

That's fine, Shen Zhao comforted himself, at least he didn't have to face her when he was awake.

Now that she has decided to compromise, some things are inevitable, but every time, she still feels embarrassed.

Jiangcheng First Hospital, inpatient department.

Father Shen leaned on the head of the bed and looked at his daughter who was lowering her head to cut apples in front of the bed. She had lost a lot of weight recently, and occasionally stared at a place in a daze. She was the daughter he had raised since childhood, and he could detect her change with just one look.

Father Shen raised his eyes and glanced at her silently. After a while, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "It seems like a long time recently, and I haven't seen you and Sier on the phone. Is she busy with work?"

Shen Zhao lowered his head to cut the apple, and when he heard his father's words, the movement of his hand suddenly stopped. This action was watched by Father Shen calmly.

He could see that there should be a problem between his daughter and that Sier.

In the past, even if they didn't talk about Sier, they would occasionally mention a sentence or two, but it has never been like this. For almost half a month, she didn't even mention a word.

No one knows better than his father what kind of character the daughter he raised.

Shen Zhao lowered his head and continued the movements in his hands. After a while, he said softly, "Sier and I... have broken up."

Father Shen was stunned, he knew about her and Sier. They have been talking for more than a year, and they have a good relationship with each other. When they mentioned it last time, there was no problem, so why did they break up suddenly.

Father Shen stared at her and suddenly asked, "Is it because of Dad's illness?"

Shen Zhao raised her head and tried to pull out a smile from the corner of her mouth, so that the people in front of her would not be worried or noticed. She handed over the cut apple in her hand and said with a smile, "How could it be? I think we are not suitable. You know, it's graduation season and breakup season now."

This reason is very convincing,

campus

Once the love in the world enters the real society, it will cause many problems.

It's like a confrontation between ideal and reality, and in most cases, ideal is always defeated by reality.

Young people are always very thoughtful.

Father Shen took the apple in her hand and said in a low voice, "I think that child is very nice, polite and gentle, and speaks softly and softly. When you step into society, you will indeed encounter many problems, but problems are also challenges, and you will encounter more difficult things than these in your future life. People always have to learn to overcome problems and cannot always escape.”

Shen's father's education level is not high, but in life, his real experience and experience will always be more than theirs.

These words, he was speaking to Shen Zhao in the form of a person who came over.

Shen Zhao quietly listened to her father's words. She was very happy. Having a good father who understood her and agreed with her was the happiest thing in her life to be his child.

But for Sier, she has too much helplessness.

Shen Zhao pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I understand what Dad said, it's just not suitable, I don't like it, there is no other reason."

Father Shen didn't speak. After a while, he sighed slightly and said, "Dad respects your decision."

The room was quiet again, and Father Shen suddenly asked again, "What does that Song Ling have to do with you?"

The sudden change of topic made Shen Zhao stunned for a moment, and he was also at a loss for a moment.

Her father had also casually asked about her relationship with Song Ling before, but she was only put off by her friendship. don't know why he is asking alone now.

Shen Zhao still said, "It's just a friend."

For nearly half a month in a row, Song Ling came to the hospital to visit Father Shen every day. Father Shen was not a fool, and he naturally noticed the unusual relationship between them.

After listening to Shen Zhao's words, Father Shen paused, and after a while he said, "Dad is not a fool either, someone who has lent you hundreds of thousands of dollars for no reason, without interest, what kind of friend comes to the hospital every three days to see you. Me, besides, Dad never heard you mention her, tell me honestly, who is she?"

The topic finally came to this, Shen Zhao knew that he couldn't escape, so he told him half-truth: "Okay, let me tell you, I'm with Song Ling."

Father Shen was suddenly stunned. He stared at the person in front of him and did not recover for a long time.

"So it's because of Song Ling that you broke up with Sier?" Father Shen asked.

Shen Zhao snorted and said nothing.

Seeing the expression on her face, Father Shen always felt that something was wrong, and he asked tentatively, "Is it really nothing to do with Dad's illness?"

Shen Zhao pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Father Shen stared at her face, thinking that she had acquiesced, and suddenly said solemnly: "Dad also told you that you don't want you to make any sacrifices. In this life, although Dad has no money and no culture, he has taught You are polite and honest, you must have the backbone, you can't lose your bottom line, even if you die..."

Shen Zhao raised her face and interrupted Father Shen before he finished speaking. She smiled and said, "Dad, what did you say? I said it before, Song Ling and I...we like each other. There is such a thing as love. Time is an instant thing. I like Song Ling, and I love her too. Besides, I lent her the money, and I signed the IOU, and will return it to her in the future. Also, we started as early as October 1 I was with her when she was on the number. You didn’t ask before, Sier didn’t go to Russia with me, who did I go with? I went with Song Ling.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Zhao picked up the phone, opened the album and pulled it up. After a long time, she found the photo of watching the aurora in Russia. She opened it and handed it to him, saying, "Look, is it on the eleventh? And the date, we met at that time, would I still lie to you?"

Father Shen took the mobile phone in her hand and swiped through the photos on the phone. There were indeed many photos in it, and there were also many Song Ling figures in the photos.

Then he said suspiciously: "Really?"

Shen Zhao pursed her lips and kept smiling. That smile never fell. She was afraid that once it fell, the people in front of her would notice her grievance.

When she couldn't help it, another voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"it is true."

Song Ling walked in from outside the room and suddenly said.

Father Shen looked over, and his eyes met Song Ling's.

Shen Zhao also looked over, and his heart was so thumping that it was about to jump out of his mouth.

When did she come, how much did she listen to those words just now?

Song Ling walked over, stood behind Shen Zhao, put her hands on her shoulders, and pursed a gentle arc at the corners of her mouth, she said, "A Zhao and I are in love, and I hope Dad Shen can fully understand us."

Song Ling is extremely beautiful, with delicate and generous facial features.

Different from Shen Zhao, it is a kind of mature beauty.

Father Shen didn't speak for a long time, his eyes wandered between the two of her, and finally nodded with a smile: "As long as Zhaozhao likes, I will understand her and fulfill her."

Shen Zhao pursed her lips and bent down, and she felt the two palms on her shoulders, which seemed to weigh a thousand jins, and the pressure made her breathless.

There are too many illusions, and sometimes people can get lost, and even make people forget the original face of things.

In the evening, Shen Zhao and Song Ling left the hospital together. As soon as they left the gate, it suddenly started to rain outside.

Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "I'll go up and get an umbrella."

Song Ling grabbed her wrist and said lightly, "It's all down, so don't go up again. How can you hide your secrets with red eyes?"

Shen Zhao was stunned and looked up at her subconsciously.

From leaving the ward to entering the elevator, she couldn't help it. Half a month after breaking up with Sier, when she didn't want to, she could easily deal with it. She hid people deep in her heart and covered them with a cloth, and no one knew.

But as long as someone mentioned it, she was still very sad.

She didn't know how Sier was doing after that day, was it okay, did she hate her...

The more think about it, the more feel distressed, like a knife.

Song Ling looked down at her red eyes, turned her eyes lightly, stretched out her hand and tore off the silk scarf from her neck, then unfolded it around the top of Shen Zhao's head, and tied it up, revealing only half of her small face.

The voice came from above the head faintly, with a little tenderness, "It's not raining much, it's going to rain soon."

Shen Zhao didn't resist, and let the hands fiddle with his chin.

After tying the silk scarf, Song Ling grabbed her jaw with her fingers, forced her to look up at herself, and asked lightly, "Do you still hate me?"

Shen Zhao's eyes fell on her face, it was dark early in winter, and because of the rain, it was only after six o'clock, and the sky was already dark.

The dim sky outlined her outline, Shen Zhao looked at her lightly, half a month was enough to make her calm. Many things had already become a foregone conclusion. The hatred at the beginning was gradually wiped out by Song Ling's past few days, and only dullness remained.

She calmly accepted this unchangeable way.

Maybe for the father.

Or maybe waiting for those two years.

But no matter what the reason is, hatred has become the most powerless and useless emotion.

Song Ling taught her a lesson in life, and made her understand that once the choice has been made, there is no room for regret.

Her only hope was to wait for the two-year period to pass, and Sier was still waiting for her.

All the rest of the hatred and resistance are futile and hypocritical.

It couldn't make the time shorter, and it couldn't make Song Ling let her go.

Shen Zhao's dark eyes were light, and she opened her lips: "Don't hate, hate is useless."

Song Ling squinted her eyes halfway, with a half-point of inquiry, and finally curled her lips casually. Without saying anything, she took her by the wrist, led her to the parking lot, and left the hospital.

Dinner was eaten in the hospital restaurant, so Shen Zhao returned to the villa and entered the study.

She has missed her homework for several days. Chu Chu and the others send her courseware notes every day. She will organize and review them to prepare for the final exam next month.

Fortunately, most of the exams for English majors test the basic skills of English in addition to the required textbook professional knowledge points.

Therefore, only for the exam, it is not a big problem for Shen Zhao.

But Shen Zhao still read and saw that it was eleven o'clock in the evening. She was lying on the table with her head up, her eyelids were fighting all the time, and her head kept pointing down like a chicken pecking at rice.

Because Song Ling came back very early today, she didn't want to go back to her room to face her.

She thought, Song Ling had already fallen asleep when she returned to her room.

But probably Song Ling could stay up late.

She had been waiting for her to fall asleep lying on the table, and suddenly there was a bracelet around her waist behind her. Shen Zhao suddenly woke up and sat up, his movements were too large, something was on the back of his head, and after a muffled sound, Shen Zhao turned his head and found that Song Ling was standing behind him with his nose covered.

After realizing what, Shen Zhao looked at Song Ling's actions and asked a little nervously, "You...Are you all right?"

Song Ling frowned, and finally put down her hand, her nose was a little red, and her funny appearance made her look less cold and cold-blooded than usual.

She said coldly, "How long are you going to sit here?"

Shen Zhao pursed his lips, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Song Ling was not in a good mood when she was hit, but seeing the expression of the person in front of her, she finally bent over and stretched out her hands, wrapping one hand around her waist and passing the other through her leg, holding her whole body like a thing. up.

The whole person was picked up in the air, Shen Zhao's heart suddenly raised in her throat, she exclaimed and struggled to get down, Song Ling's cold voice came from her ear: "I don't want both of you to fall, you Best not to move."

After listening to her words, Shen Zhao didn't struggle in the end, so she was carried back to the room and put on the bed.

Shen Zhao quickly rolled into the bed, pulled the quilt and wrapped herself up like a silkworm chrysalis. Song Ling was panting from exhaustion. She stood on the side of the bed with her akimbo on her hips, watching Shen Zhao's movements with cold eyes.

After a while, Song Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Zhao, you always have a way to make me angry."

Song Ling was angry.

The kind that can't be coaxed well.

There was a clatter in the room, and the lights went out.

Song Ling went to bed, reached out and pulled the quilt off Shen Zhao's body, pulled her whole body over and pressed her into his arms, with suppressed anger in his voice: "Don't move."

Shen Zhao was afraid of angering her. Although they slept in the same bed for more than half a month, Song Ling did nothing but kiss her and hug her.

Shen Zhao was very afraid, afraid that Song Ling would suddenly do something else, so he folded his hands against his chest, not even breathing hard.

But the more she was like this, the more counterproductive it was.

Song Ling saw her reaction through the corner of the window. The light rain outside the house continued, making her less intense anger gradually turn into irritability.

She pulled Shen Zhao's hands away, pressed it on the pillow with a sense of compulsion, and blurted out a sentence that she didn't even think about herself.

Song Ling stared at her face and said coldly, "I want you, just now."
