Xi Feng got up in a hurry, too late for breakfast. He took a taxi to the Wutong Road Qingya community. According to the detailed address given to him by He Yunsheng, he found the door of the room where He Yunsheng’s mother lived. He was worried and pressed a little hastily. The doorbell, after a while heard a ringing inside, but it took a long time for someone to open the door for him.

He Yunsheng’s mother is in her fifties. She has a daughter who is studying abroad. Her husband went abroad with her work unit and will not be able to come back next week. She accidentally fell at home alone, her left leg was so painful that she couldn't stand up, and she didn't dare to move easily. She probably broke a bone in her heart.

After hesitating, she chose to call her son in another city. He Yunsheng was too far away and couldn't rush over immediately. At this time, only Xi Feng could ask for help.

The old lady dragged one leg to open the door for him. Xi Feng briefly introduced herself, turned back and carried the old lady, and went downstairs and sent the person to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, he was admitted to the emergency department, the check-up was paid and he was admitted. Xi Feng ran back and forth, helping with his back. There was no complaint. He even paid for the hospitalization expenses.

Until the person was sent to the ward, all the necessary examinations were completed, and he waited for the operation tomorrow, before Xi Feng had time to sit down and take a sip of water.

The old lady sat on the hospital bed and looked at him and said, "Thank you so much, so are you just Yunsheng's colleague?"

Hearing this, Xi Feng was stunned for a moment, wondering what the old lady meant, but in the end he was still uncertain, and said, "We are good friends."

The old lady nodded, "Oh, thank you, otherwise, an old lady of mine doesn't know what to do at home." Perhaps she had experienced these things today, and her tone was unconsciously sad.

Xi Feng sat on the chair next to the hospital bed, leaned forward and clasped his hands. He smiled and said, "Auntie, leave me a phone number. You don't need to tell Yun Sheng if you have anything in the future, just call me directly."

The old lady also smiled gently, "You are so kind."

She repeated this no less than ten times today, and Xi Feng began to feel embarrassed after hearing it for a long time.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, He Yunsheng had already hurriedly flew to Chongfeng City, dragging his suitcase in his hand, and called directly to the hospital. When he arrived in the ward, Xi Feng was chatting with the old lady while cutting her apples with a knife.

Just after cutting an apple, He Yunsheng walked to the door of the ward hurriedly, breathing slightly, and said: "Mom, how are you?"

Xi Feng turned his head to look at him. He hadn't seen him for almost half a year. He Yunsheng didn't seem to have changed at all, but he didn't know if he was a little thinner. He remembered him in his heart, and he always felt that he seemed to be thinner.

"Are you here?" Xi Feng stood up from the hospital bed, and subconsciously handed the freshly shaved apple in front of He Yunsheng, "Have you a hard time on the road? Would you like to have an apple?"

He Yunsheng was stunned, and said, "No need, you can eat it."

Xi Feng stared at the apple, and suddenly remembered who he had cut the apple for, and wanted to turn around and hand it to the old lady, but seeing that she was feeling a little agitated, he carefully placed the apple on the cup on the bedside table.

The old lady repeated what happened at home today to He Yunsheng again.

Xi Feng pulled the chair behind He Yunsheng to let him sit, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. After washing for a while, He Yunsheng had already waited to stop him at the bathroom door and said, "Thank you."

When facing He Yunsheng, Xi Feng was obviously not as comfortable as dealing with an old lady. He tried hard to make his words and behaviors not look too deliberate. He wiped the water on his other hand with his still wet fingers. Said: "Don't be polite. Auntie has been thanking me all the time today."

He Yunsheng said: "It happened suddenly, I have no other friends here, I can only call you."

Xi Feng wanted to say in his heart: I'm too happy yet, but he said: "That's not right. From now on, Auntie will call me directly if she has anything to do. If you are busy with work, you don't need to rush over."

He Yunsheng asked him: "You paid for the money my mom was admitted to the hospital?"

Xi Feng said: "This is not in a hurry. Wait two days for my aunt's condition to stabilize. I will have her surgery tomorrow morning."

He Yunsheng also felt that there was no need to pay back the money in a hurry. He just nodded and said, "I have trouble you so much today. I have time in a few days, and I will invite you to dinner. Thank you very much. "

Xi Feng said without any sincerity: "You don't need to be so polite." But he thought he would definitely go for this meal with He Yunsheng.

He Yunsheng looked at him and smiled, "It should be."

Xi Feng couldn't help but look closely at his face, and didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and asked: "Did you ask for leave?"

He Yunsheng replied: "I will take leave of absence next week."

Xi Feng then asked: "Do you plan to stay in the hospital tonight?"

He Yunsheng nodded, "Sure."

Xi Feng asked in a low voice, "Do you need my help?"

He Yunsheng said: "No, you have worked hard for a day, go back and rest early?"

"Then what about you?" Xi Feng asked tentatively, "I have been in the hospital for the past few days? Too hard, right?"

He Yunsheng turned his head and looked inside. From this angle, the old lady lying on the outer hospital bed could not see the two of them. The TV was on, and they should not be able to hear them clearly. He said, "At least wait for the operation tomorrow. Let's talk when you're done."

Xi Feng said, "Why don't you hire a caregiver? Find an aunt to accompany your aunt. Someone will replace you during the day and night, so you might as well take a rest."

He Yunsheng said to him: "Let's talk about it, don't worry."

Xi Feng had no choice but to say yes.

He Yunsheng said to him again: "Go back and rest."

Xi Feng wanted to stay with him for a while, but there was no good excuse. He could only nod his head and said, "I will go back first, and I will see you tomorrow."

He Yunsheng neither agreed nor refused.

Xi Feng returned to the ward and said goodbye to the old lady, then left the hospital with his mobile phone and wallet.

Even though he was thinking about He Yunsheng all night, Xi Feng resisted not contacting him, but went to the hospital again the next morning, bought some fruit milk, and brought He Yunsheng two small cakes.

When he arrived, the old lady had already started the operation. He Yunsheng was waiting outside the operating room alone. Xi Feng put the things in the ward and only took two small cakes for He Yunsheng to eat.

He Yunsheng glanced at the exquisite cake, did not have the heart to refuse, and accepted it.

The old lady's operation went smoothly. After she had the operation, He Yunsheng called her daughter who was in college. The little girl was anxious and immediately asked for leave and rushed back from school.

In the afternoon, Xi Feng said to He Yunsheng: "I'm looking at my aunt here. Go back and take a bath and sleep."

He Yunsheng did not speak.

Xi Feng asked him again: "Is there a place to live? Have you booked a hotel?"

He Yunsheng said: "I haven't had time yet."

Xi Feng's thoughts moved slightly and said: "Our company has a partner hotel, I will call you directly to book a room, you don't have to go out and look for it."

"Is it convenient?" He Yunsheng asked.

Xi Feng said: "Of course it is convenient." Then he went and made a call to book a room for He Yunsheng at a partner hotel near the company.

He Yunsheng didn’t want to trouble Xi Feng to stay in the hospital to take care of his mother. Instead, he inquired in the hospital and hired a professional nursing worker to take care of him temporarily. He has been in the hospital for so long since yesterday, just like Xi Feng said. Yes, he also wants to find a place to take a break, take a shower and change clothes.

But he was still not at ease. He waited in the hospital until the evening. Everything was stable for the old lady. Today, the infusion was also finished. He lay on the bed and asked He Yunsheng to go back to rest. Then he followed Xi Feng to leave the hospital and go to the hotel for repairs.

He had been persuading Xi Feng to go back all afternoon. There was no need to accompany him in the hospital, but Xi Feng refused to leave. Until the evening, two people came out of the hospital and ate something casually on the road. Xi Feng called a car. The car took He Yunsheng to the hotel.

When standing at the door of the hotel, Xi Feng hesitated and did not ask to follow him in. He now understands what it means to stop, and he is always afraid that he will be frightened by being too diligent.

So he asked He Yunsheng: "Do you need me to accompany you to the hospital later?"

He Yunsheng shook his head, "I don't really need it anymore, thank you very much already."

Xi Feng didn't want to hear him say thank you, put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at him for a while and said, "Then I will go first. I have to go to work tomorrow. I can only visit my aunt in the hospital at night."

He Yunsheng said: "You are busy with you. My mother's situation is very stable. There is no need to delay time every day. After two days, I will arrange to invite you to dinner."

Xi Feng nodded earnestly, "Okay."

Two days later, He Yunsheng's sister rushed back from school, and his stepfather also came back from abroad with the inspection group. He arranged things here and was about to go back.

Before leaving, He Yunsheng invited Xi Feng to a meal.

For this meal, He Yunsheng specially found a Japanese food store with good environment and high price. The two sat down face to face. The first thing He Yunsheng did was to solemnly thank him.

Xi Feng looked at He Yunsheng and said, "If you say thank you again, then I will leave."

He Yunsheng laughed when he heard the words. He felt that Xi Feng's changes were very obvious, mainly in the aspect of being a man, making him feel that Xi Feng is a bit different from the original Xi Feng.

In fact, Xi Feng is still the original Xi Feng. He has his own views on things, but he is no longer straightforward. He has experienced a failed relationship, knowing that when you cry and ask for sweets and no one will give you, you should be like an adult and earn money to buy sweets.

He Yunsheng is also an adult. He asks about Xi Feng’s work here in an ordinary manner, and talks to him about the company’s situation, personnel changes, and market changes after Xi Feng left. He just doesn’t mention the grievances between the two people in the past. blame.

In the end, He Yunsheng asked Xi Feng for the bank account number, and said that after he returned, he would return all the expenses that Xi Feng had paid him.

Xi Feng also only said one sentence: "Okay."

Until he came out of the Japanese food store, He Yunsheng felt a little cold outside, and raised his hand to put on his coat. A leather bag in his coat pocket slipped out and landed on the sidewalk. He immediately bent down to pick it up.

Xi Feng saw a car approaching the edge of the road, very close to He Yunsheng, he subconsciously stepped forward, put his arm around He Yunsheng's waist, and pressed his chest with the other to pull him back a step, resisting the loud yelling. The driver’s impulse just asked: "Is it all right?"

Their bodies are still close to each other. When Xi Feng speaks, He Yunsheng's back can feel the vibration of his chest. In addition, his hands and chest are warm and strong, which makes people produce a kind of him. The embrace is the illusion of the safest place in the world.

He Yunsheng wanted to get rid of this illusion, Xi Feng immediately released his hand, bent down to help him pick up the purse and handed it to him, saying: "The driver here is driving more wild."

"Thank you," He Yunsheng took it over and thanked him.

Xi Feng suddenly asked him: "How are you getting along with your boyfriend?" He held back these words all night, and couldn't help but ask them when they broke up.

He Yunsheng lowered his head and wiped the dust on his purse with his fingers, and said, "It's good."

Xi Feng made a joke: "It seems that I still have no chance." Although it sounds like a joke, the deep loss in his tone almost can't be concealed and diffused.

He Yunsheng was strangled by this loss in an instant. He had to clear his throat. When he wanted to speak, he heard Xi Feng say: "Go back, I'll see you."

What happened just now has been understated, as if the joke was just a joke, and the loss is not really a loss.

He Yunsheng said: "No need."

Xi Feng told him: "My home is very close to the hotel where you are staying. Let's take a taxi and take you back to the hotel before I go home."

He Yunsheng had no reason to refuse, so he nodded.

When Xi Feng helped him open the car door to invite him into the car, He Yunsheng suddenly realized that Xi Feng gradually began to dominate the relationship with others, and his request was no longer arrogant, but restrained and measured. You can't refuse, and then slowly cannibalize your territory.

He Yunsheng was in a trance.
