There was still a short distance from Cao Cao's ward, and General Cao Pi heard cheerful laughter coming from inside.

Zhen Mi must be here, he thought.

Standing at the door and listening for a while, Cao Pi opened the door and greeted his father on the hospital bed, "Dad."

"Come on, sit down." Cao Cao seemed in a good mood today, beckoning him to come in and sit down.

Closing the door behind his back, Cao Pi walked towards the hospital bed, nodding to Zhen Mi who got up from the chair halfway.

Lowering her head slightly, the smile on Zhen Mi's face was a bit shy.She watched Cao Pi put down a small bag of fresh apples on the bedside table, turned around and bowed to Cao Cao, "Uncle, you talk, I still have something to do, I'll see you another day."

"Okay, I'll let Cao Pi see you off." Cao Cao responded with a smile on his face, not forgetting to wink at Cao Pi.

Cao Pi understood, and was a little reluctant in his heart, but he still complied with him and walked to Zhen Mi's side, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

Zhen Mi's eyes briefly met his, and then turned away quickly. She pursed her lips and smiled softly, without refusing.

Watching them both walk out of the ward, Cao Cao felt that they were both talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

If only they could be together.

There were many people waiting for the elevator, so Cao Pi and Zhen Mi chose to take the stairs.

With his hands in his pockets and following Zhen Mi, Cao Pi looked absent-minded.The sound of high heels touching the ground echoed in the stairwell where there was no conversation. It sounded empty and the atmosphere was subtle and awkward.

"Cough." When he was about to reach the first floor, Cao Pi cleared his throat, "Ah Zhen."

"Huh?" Zhen Mi stopped and looked back at him, the slightly raised angle made her beautiful eyes more charming.

Cao Pi had to admit that she was a beautiful woman, so beautiful that it was heart-pounding.It's a pity that there is a lion living in his heart, guarding his heartstrings that cannot be easily plucked, "You should not come here in the future."

Zhen Mi lowered her eyes and said nothing, her long eyelashes fell down, blocking the look in her eyes.

Is it too straightforward?Cao Pi stared at the steps at his feet, feeling a little sorry, "I mean...you are fine, there is no need to waste time with me, there will be more..."

"There will be better people, right?" Zhen Mi raised her head again with a persistent gleam in her eyes, "You have met so many people in the future, there will always be one or two better than him, do you want it?" ?”

Cao Pi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled in a low voice, met her eyes helplessly and appreciatively, "It's up to you."

They met at a banquet and became friends.She met the him in her heart, but he didn't see her in his eyes.

They are all the same, unwilling to compromise or give up lightly, thinking that they are still young, and they don't want to just find someone to make do with for the rest of their lives.

However, life is difficult, some people can get it to the end, and some people have the beginning without the end.

Standing in front of the window, Cao Cao looked at the figure of his son downstairs who sent Zhen Mi out of the hospital gate, walked through the crowd and returned to the inpatient department, and sighed deeply.Rubbing his aching temples, he sat back on the hospital bed.

After a while, the door opened, Cao Pi came in from the outside, sat on the chair beside the hospital bed, took an apple and peeled it naturally.

The quiet ward was filled with the sound of peeling peels, and Cao Cao was the first to break the silence, "How long have you known Zhen Mi?"

"I don't remember it, it's been a few years." Cao Pi concentrated on peeling the apple without raising his head.

"You're a pretty girl, and I like you again, so don't delay her." After a pause, Cao Cao tentatively said, "Why don't you get engaged?"

"Dad, eat the apple." Cao Pi held up the peeled apple in front of him, but Cao Pi didn't express his opinion.

Cao Cao took the apple but didn't bite it, just stared at his son who started to peel another apple, obviously waiting for a definite answer.

"I think..." Cao Pi dragged his tone very slowly, "If I forcefully stay with her, I will really delay her."

Cao Cao turned his face out of the window, took a hard bite of the apple, and chewed the flesh in his mouth as if venting his anger.Then he said, "You still haven't given up on that person." In an extremely determined tone.

When the blade deflected, a not-so-deep wound was cut on Cao Pi's finger, which brought a thrilling and painful pleasure.The blood slowly oozes out, rubbing against the exposed flesh, and quickly changes color, like a piece of old rust.

That person is exactly the rust in Cao Pi's heart, which cannot be erased, and will only become stronger and stronger.

At the New Year's party, members of the research team had a great time.It is rare for a group of unsmiling scholars to indulge themselves at the wine table. One is to welcome the arrival of the New Year, and the other is to celebrate the smooth achievement of research results in major academic newspapers and magazines and the good response in the industry.

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the foggy glass vaguely reflected the different states of drunkenness of the people in the room.Sima Yi watched, a little lost in thought.Zhang Chunhua, who was sitting next to him, reached for a goblet of champagne and touched his quilt lightly, "Congratulations."

Looking at her graceful smiling face, Sima Yi raised his glass in response, "Thank you." Then he added: "Congratulations to everyone."

In the noisy room, some people said that they could finally take a vacation with peace of mind, and go on vacation with their wives and children.Sima Yi listened, smiled silently, sipped his red wine and turned his head to continue looking at the snow-covered sky outside the window.

"The first snow was so heavy." Zhang Chunhua followed his gaze, "I heard," she paused, and then she spoke with a kind of euphemistic longing, "The lovers who watched the first snow together will always be together." Together."

55

"Snowing."

"It's snowing, Sima."

"The first snow of the year."

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"My dad must be watching us from the car across the way."

"How can you be reluctant to part with me and go to cooperate with my dad again?"

"My dad won't do bad deals."

"I want to help you."

"Sima, you have to wait for me."

56

In this fast-paced and eccentric era, two people have lost contact for many years, and they are committed to each other with just one promise. What are the chances of believing in love?

This is the most difficult probability problem Sima Yi has ever heard.

Whether the person who cannot be touched or heard in the distance still remembers what he said, he has no way of knowing, and he never dares to imagine the final outcome.Now that the beautiful woman is by her side and she has such intentions, the temptation of reality seems to be really greater than false promises.

Sima Yi looked at the expectant woman again, with a slight smile on his lips, "A beautiful legend."

The light in her eyes jumped for a moment, and he took the initiative to touch her wine glass, "I hope that there will be snow at the beginning of the coming year, and you can enjoy it with your lover."

She still maintained a perfect smile, but she couldn't control the momentary stiffness of her expression and her dimmed eyes, "...Thank you."

Feel sorry.Sima Yi thought.

The figure reflected in the eyes is changing rapidly, but what is in the heart will never change, even if it is far away in the sky.

No matter how difficult the probability problem is, there will be a result, whether it is [-]% or [-]%.

Sima Yi told himself that in fact, any result would be the same.

If it's the former, he's the same as everyone else; if it's the latter, he strives to be unique.

The crisp ringtone of the mobile phone broke the almost stagnant atmosphere in the ward and relieved Cao Pi.After a hasty glance at Cao Cao, he put down the alcohol swab in his hand and connected to the cell phone.

Cao Cao saw that he simply answered a few words, then hung up the phone and began to put on his coat. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Xun said that the company has an impromptu meeting and asked me to rush back." Cao Pi answered while getting dressed.

"Yeah." Cao Cao didn't say anything more, and he didn't speak until he was packed up and ready to go out, "Is it really up to him?"

Cao Pi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Sighing, Cao Cao shook his head to express his confusion, "It's been so many years, I thought you could figure it out."

"Dad, I..."

"Are you so sure he'll be waiting for you over there?"

"I hope he will." Cao Pi replied slowly, "I also believe he will."

Cao Cao suddenly sneered, "He didn't choose you back then."

Cao Pi smiled calmly, as if he didn't mind, "Everyone has some things that he can't give up and must do. He has the responsibility to fulfill his brother's last wish, just like I have the responsibility to take care of the family business...as long as he Still waiting, I have no reason to give up."

Time can prove everything.

And waiting is his greatest loyalty and gift to love.

"Ah Xun, give Xiao Pi the business plan and the letter of intent for cooperation, and let him go to the United States to talk in person."

("Why suddenly...")

"Let him go."

("...after all we compromised.")

"After all... he is my son. An elder can intervene and guide him, but he cannot make any choices for him, especially when it comes to things he is obsessed with."

("I see.")

Cao Cao really wanted to express his feelings, but in the end, he just closed his eyes and put the phone on the bedside table.

"Mr. Cao," the nurse's voice came from the door, "This is the surgeon who will perform your surgery on Friday, and I need to tell you some pre-operative precautions."

59

After the meeting, Xun Yu stopped Cao Pi and handed him a folder and an air ticket, "Your father means it."

Looking at the contents of the document, Cao Pi was also happy when he was surprised, but he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the date on the ticket, "Friday? Isn't that the day my dad had surgery?"

"All the arrangements have been made at the hospital, so you can go at ease."

Cao Pi pondered for a long time, and the words he said were unexpected, "No, I can't go." Looking down at the ground,
