Later, the sky turned pale, and he went back the same way, his sanity was a little blurred.

In the small yellow window of the guard's room, the TV had no picture, it was pitch black, and even the security guard was missing.Leaning on the iron door with all his strength, he struggled to open the half-closed lock with his frozen hands. When he got home, he fell on the bed, exhausted, and didn't even close the door.

Hu Aihua got up at seven o'clock in the morning. When he passed the small bedroom, he found the door was open. Looking inside, he saw his son's tall body lying motionless on the bed, still wearing a coat.

Suspicious in her heart, she stepped forward to check, and was immediately frightened out of her wits.

Liang Yuchen was burning hot all over, his cheeks were sickly flushed, but his lips were pale and purple, and he was shivering tightly wrapped in his down jacket.Hu Aihua immediately woke up Liang Changlei, dressed and put on shoes in a hurry, and the two of them struggled to get him to the hospital, where he was sent to the emergency room, checked, and given water.No one could understand what happened to his son, why he was fine the day before, but his appetite was a little off, and today he tossed himself like he lost half his life.

It was busy until nine o'clock, and the number of people in the hospital gradually increased. There was no empty bed in the infusion room. The TV on the wall began to broadcast the morning news. Some patients talked and laughed loudly with their families, and some were worried.In this bustling scene, only Liang Yuchen was still awake with his eyes closed, as if he was extremely tired and refused to wake up.

Liang Changlei still needs to do business, so he can't stay here for a long time. Hu Aihua reassures him, saying that he will take good care of their son and ask what happened.He felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't find out why he didn't wake up, so he could only leave first with the key to the shop, and repeatedly asked Hu Aihua to call him as soon as he had something to do.

Seeing that Liang Yuchen was tall and in poor condition, the nurse couldn't bear to curl up on the extra bed, so she made an exception and gave them an empty double room with no door and only curtains, but the next bed was temporarily unoccupied.

Hu Aihua was very grateful, and moved the person over with her.

With white walls and green paint, high windows and low chairs, the mother and son finally have a peaceful place.

Liang Yuchen was so burned that he was confused, big beads of sweat came out one after another, and his neck was also covered with damp sweat.After taking off his shoes, Hu Aihua went to the supermarket downstairs and bought a towel, fetched water from a plastic basin, and wiped it carefully starting from his forehead.

"Son, what's wrong with you...?" She asked softly, and her movements were gentle.

Liang Yuchen was still dazed.

He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly, his eyelashes moving uneasily, his face flushed like fire, and his lips moved slightly.

The towel in his hand froze, and Hu Aihua vaguely heard a voice, thinking that he had woken up: "Son, what do you want? Is it uncomfortable?"

Liang Yuchen's upper and lower lips parted slightly, and moved again.

She was overjoyed, and listened quietly.

"Tongtong..."

"Tongtong..."

His voice was weak and deep, and his expression was filled with pain.Liang Yuchen blurted out and called Ji Tong's name twice.

Hu Aihua was stunned for a moment, looked up at his face, then hurriedly leaned down again, trying to make sure that he heard correctly.

"Tongtong..."

Liang Yuchen was seriously ill physically and mentally.

The veins on his forehead stretched out, the light-colored mountains stretched, and he called Ji Tong with hot breath, each sound became clearer.

There was no one around, the heavy and hoarse voice was like a heavy hammer, beating on Hu Aihua's temple.She straightened her back, frowned and looked at the sick stepson in front of her, suddenly she didn't know him.The hand holding the towel unconsciously touched the sheet, and it was soaked, with tears seeping into it.

Sick, why do you call Tongtong?

What does it have to do with Ji Tong?

The two words that escaped from Liang Yuchen's mouth were like an invisible thread, linking all the things that she vaguely felt were wrong in the past, and the answer was ready to be revealed.The unusual intimacy between the two, Liang Yuchen's excessive tolerance towards Ji Tong, and Ji Tong's birthday wish written on paper...

Oops.

She stood up abruptly, dropping the towel in her hand.

—

"mom."

On the other end of the phone, Ji Tong seemed to have just woken up.

Hu Aihua clutched his phone, stood at the end of the corridor, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing, son."

"Reviewing."

After Ji Tong and Liang Yuchen separated, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.I also thought about calling my brother, and I almost couldn't resist clicking on the dialog box between him and Liang Yuchen, but I finally endured it.

He felt he was doing the right thing.Without Liang Yuchen's "harassment", he even got up early to review.

Hearing that there was nothing unusual in her son's voice, the mother was a little relieved, temporarily suppressing all doubts, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

"Mom, Mom." Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Ji Tong asked, "Is there anything wrong? I'll hang up."

"Wait, Tongtong." Hu Aihua said suddenly, "Is the school busy recently?"

He told the truth: "I'm not very busy, my exams are relatively high, and I have almost passed the exam."

The review is not nervous and does not go home, Hu Aihua is more sure of his guess.

She asked again: "What about you tomorrow? Is there a test?"

"No. Mom, what's the matter, is there something?"

She smiled: "What can I do? Mom is thinking about your birthday tomorrow, so I might as well give you money to let you go on a trip. Didn't you always want to go to the island where we played for a diving certificate? This time, Mom I support you, if you don’t have an exam next week, you can go immediately and have a good time.”

"immediately?"

"Yes, fly tomorrow, buy a plane ticket today, this trip will be considered a birthday present from your mother, after you pass the test, come back and show off to Beibei and the others."

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Only me?"

Although he has been to that island before, and the coaches are familiar, but in the past, when someone in the family celebrates a birthday, the family always celebrates together, and at worst, they will have a meal at home, so everyone must be present.

Hu Aihua tentatively pretended to be relaxed: "It's not an integer of 20 years old, what to do to make a big fanfare. You can go by yourself, do you want to go with your brother?"

"No!" Ji Tong objected hastily, "I won't go with him."

After a pause, he added, "He's busier than me at the end of the semester."

The explanation is so good.

Hu Aihua was even more convinced in his heart, and urged: "Then don't hesitate, I will send your luggage to you in a while."

The itinerary was almost semi-mandatory.

Ji Tong didn't object and said "yes".Not for diving, but for Liang Yuchen.

Talking about Ji Tong over there, Hu Aihua is more vigorous and resolute here.After hanging up the phone, she went straight to the first floor to add money to find a nurse, and asked her to take care of Liang Yuchen for a few hours. If Liang Yuchen woke up in the middle, she said that his mother had something to go home, and went back to him soon, so that he could take care of Liang Yuchen for a few hours. Don't leave and don't let him touch the phone.

After explaining this sentence, she hurried home to help Ji Tong pack his luggage before sending it to school.The reason for her urgency was because she knew that Ji Tong would not dare to go home, and she knew that her son was afraid.

In just half a day, the lake was covered with thick ice, and the eyes were covered with haze, but Liang Yuchen didn't know it.

When he woke up in the afternoon, it was all over.

He opened his eyes dimly, and saw Hu Aihua, his expression was still kind, but it was a little different, as if he was far away.

"Mom." He called hoarsely.

Hu Aihua was stunned for a second, then he seemed to harden his heart and asked him: "How do you feel?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"High fever, hang water for a whole day."

Liang Yuchen knew that he was frozen last night, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"After losing this bottle, the doctor asked us to go home and raise it first," Hu Aihua said, "It's no big deal."

He propped himself up and sat up: "Thank you, Mom, for preventing you from going to work."

"It doesn't matter if I don't make it to my class." Hu Aihua gave him a hand, "I'll find someone to substitute for me, just one lesson. But you, remember to ask yourself a leave of absence at school. I don't know your teacher's phone number. "

Liang Yuchen took out his mobile phone, only to realize that it was out of battery and could not be turned on.

An hour later, the two took a taxi back home with a large bag of oral liquid and capsules.The doctor repeatedly told him not to take it lightly, and to come to the hospital immediately if he had a fever again.

After entering the door and changing his shoes, Hu Aihua put him on the bed and covered him with two thick quilts.Liang Yuchen looked around and felt that something was missing.

Hu Aihua pressed him, told him to lie down, and said, "Tongtong is busy at school and has an exam."

Hearing this name, he leaned against the head of the bed and remained motionless.

Hu Aihua looked up at the clock on the table again, Liang Changlei is coming back soon, everything needs to be cut quickly.

She said, "Son, take a good rest these days."

Liang Yuchen hummed.

"Would you like some water? Mom will get you a glass."

"I'm not thirsty now."

"That's fine, since you don't drink water, let's chat, mother, I want to ask you something."

She laid the groundwork repeatedly and had something to say.Liang Yuchen was not as clear-headed as usual when he was ill, but he still knew how to read words and emotions, and tried to sit up straight, with a hoarse voice: "You ask."

However, after only entering the house for a moment, the question that he had to ask before he even had time to change his clothes was naturally not a trivial matter.

There was no one else in the room with two bedrooms and one living room except them, but Hu Aihua was still cautious, looked back, and then pressed the edge of the quilt with his hand, and tucked it in.

"Mom wants to ask you, can you move out of the house when you get better?"

The voice clearly reached Liang Yuchen's ears. He was shocked and looked up at the person he called his mother.

"You mean, let me move out?"

Now that the words have been spoken, Hu Aihua knows that there is no room for change.She nodded calmly at first, then turned her head and looked around the room, and said slowly: "You and Tongtong are both adults, and it is not convenient to live in such a small room. But you know our family's financial conditions , Some time ago, I just supported your dad’s shop, and it’s impossible to take out the money for a big one. So I think, why don’t you move out first, live in the school first, and your mother will pay for it after you graduate next semester How about renting a house for you?"

It was impossible for her to let her son move out, so she could only harden her heart and let another son move out.

Liang Yuchen looked at her with a frown, and wanted to speak, but coughed non-stop. Just by listening, he could tell that the cough was deep.

Hu Aihua couldn't bear it: "It's not your father's idea, it's my own idea. Don't get me wrong. Mom is definitely not driving you away, but just discussing with you. If you really don't want to, let's find another way."

Of course there is no other way.

Liang Yuchen coughed until he stopped, his heart and lungs were like ruins: "Did it mean you or Ji Tong?"

He is not stupid at all, he has long been a knowledgeable adult.

Hu Aihua was silent for a moment, then said: "I can't hide anything from you."

She got up and went back to the room, took something and went back to the bed.

Liang Yuchen took it over, it was three paper cubes, packed in a very small flannel bag, at first glance he thought it was a stack of stars.

He raised his head: "Is this what Ji Tong wrote that day?"

Hu Aihua nodded, knowing that this stabbing would end whatever feelings it shouldn't have.She felt pain in her heart, but she still held her face: "Why did I say what I just said, you will understand after reading it."

Liang Yuchen poured the note into his palm, and for the first time lacked the courage to look at something.

In fact, he had thought before that if one day Ji Tong's birthday wish could be related to him, then everything would be worth it.

I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

The three notes were opened one by one. The first said: "I want my brother to move out", the second said: "I want my brother to move out", and the third said: "I want my brother to move out". My brother moved out."

The calligraphy with light strokes and loose structure is exactly the same as what Ji Tong jokingly wrote in comic books.

what do you want?

I want Liang Yuchen to move out.

Not only did he think and write like this, he was not even afraid that Liang Yuchen would see it.

No, or rather, Ji Tong was afraid that Liang Yuchen would not see him, so he repeated the same sentence three times.

This is definitely a surprise given to him by Ji Tong.From the first day we met, Ji Tong wanted him to move out, and until the third year, this wish didn't change at all.Ji Tong was uncertain, but he persisted in this matter as always, and never gave up.

Ji Tong, who is so courageous and determined, why isn't he surprised?

Liang Yuchen had never shed tears in his life, and at this moment he couldn't see the words in front of him clearly.His lungs were so hot that he could only breathe smoothly through his mouth. After a long while, he finally freed his breath and said "yes".

Selfishness is what adults do when they should be selfish.There is nothing wrong with Ji Tong and Hu Aihua, but there is something wrong with Liang Yuchen. The mistake is to regard dispensable as irreplaceable, and the mistake is to make the same mistake again and again.

Of course, I was too stupid to think that I really had a home.
