Oh, how do you hit someone?

Two or three hours before the countdown, Pei Jiding waited for the first call of the night.

He glanced at the caller ID, shook the phone screen at Qin Shang and said, "Look, my brother is more reliable."

He was talking on the phone while talking.

"Hey bro. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Pei Jibei's voice was muffled, Pei Jiding was stunned for a moment, and realized that compared with the noisy and lively atmosphere on his side, the other end of the phone seemed too quiet.

Pei Jiding's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What happened?"

There was silence on the phone for a while, and the overly silent background sound made the sound of electricity in the voice very clear.

Pei Jibei sighed and said, "Ji Ding, Dad passed away."

This news was almost like a black and white firework that was unique in Dali. It exploded in Pei Jiding's ears, and he was stunned for a moment.

"When did this happen?"

"I went to the emergency room in the afternoon, but I didn't come back." Pei Jibei said, "I don't want to bother you for the New Year's Eve. But now I have to cover it with a white cloth...will you come..."

Pei Jibei paused here, seemingly unable to find the right words, and finally said, "Take a look."

Pei Jiding swallowed, a little resisted, and a little bit at a loss.

The separation between life and death came suddenly, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, nor did he really feel it.

I just felt a sudden emptiness in my heart. It didn't hurt much, but it was a bit leaky.

He replied woodenly, and asked, "Is it still in the hospital before? I'll go now."

Pei Jibei agreed and hung up the phone.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shang kept staring at Pei Jiding, he was at a loss from his complacency.

Pei Jiding put away the phone and said in a daze, "I have something to do, I'll go out for a while."

Qin Shang saw him get up to get his coat and said, "I'm with you."

"No need." Pei Jiding pushed him, with some resistance.

"Tell me what's wrong." Qin Shang blocked the door, covering the door handle tightly.

Pei Jiding pursed his lips and said, "My dad is gone."

Qin Shang was stunned for a moment, picked up the coat from the hanger on one side and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

He didn't even give a question, and grabbed Pei Jiding's hand like a thick bear's paw.Powerful and piping hot.

The streets on New Year's Eve were extremely cold, and the cold winter wind pierced people's necks, sharp and biting.It is the most worthy scene of Pei Wende on the days of family celebration.

Thirty-year-old hospitals also have busy medical staff.

Qin Shang didn't wait downstairs this time, he dragged people upstairs together.

Seeing the two people nodding their heads as a greeting, Pei Jibei lifted his chin forward and said, "Let's go and have a look inside."

During Chinese New Year, the hospital is quite lively.

Pei Jibei's mother came over, and there was also a young woman whom Pei Jiding didn't recognize, but judging by the strength of that fake cry, she probably came to ask for money from the smell of death.

He glanced at the woman with no makeup on, and turned to look at Pei Wende.

Pei Wende lost weight.Also old.

Those eyes that often look at him with disdain and disdain are tightly closed, and the wrinkles are very obvious on his face.Pale complexion reveals lifelessness.

Pei Jiding stared at him for 2 minutes, thinking in a daze.

He always had a kind of schadenfreude, followed by uncontrollable pity and pain.

It is neither heart-piercing nor heart-breaking.But little by little, like a thick wool blanket.

Only at this time did Pei Jiding understand that he didn't hate Pei Wende, nor did he hate Pei Wende too much.

After being healed by Qin Shang for so long, the unwillingness and grievance were wiped out at once, leaving a shallow scar on the heart that could never be seen again.

In fact, he didn't know anything about Pei Wende.

Pei Wende looked down on him and didn't value him, so he could only see the most disdainful and proud side of Pei Wende.

There is resentment buried in obsession, but there is not much desire for love to hate.

When Pei Jiding turned his head and opened the door, he thought: I actually don't even remember how old he is this year.

Qin Shang saw him coming out, he hugged him halfway without any trace, and looked at him as if asking questions.

Pei Jiding shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

He raised his eyes to see Pei Jibei who was facing the hospital bed without moving, and called out: "Brother."

Pei Jibei reacted for a while before recovering.

He was wearing a formal suit, and a secretary and a lawyer stood not far away, communicating with Pei Jibei's mother.

Pei Jiding couldn't hear clearly, he only knew a few words, most of them were talking about inheritance.

He glanced at Pei Jibei who was in a daze and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Pei Jibei turned his head to look at Pei Jiding, who was a little cautious, and said after a while, "You are the first person to ask me this sentence today."

There were quite a few people standing in the corridor and in the room.

Crying, cold-faced, anxious, everyone has it.

Pei Wende has pursued interests all his life, but after his soul returned to the dust, all he gained was the hypocrisy that hides interests behind him.

Tears are fake, money is real.

Pei Jiding naturally knew what his brother meant,

After all, Pei Wende deserved it.

What he gave to others would naturally come back to him now.

It's just that when people close their eyes, they don't know anything.

Pei Jiding glanced at Pei Wende again, but said nothing.

Among this diverse group of people, Pei Jibei is probably the only one who feels suffocated and uncomfortable because of death and parting.

Parental love is fake, but to children, relationship is real.

The person Pei Wende deserved most in his life should be Pei Jibei.Even if Xiao Jiujiu, who is carrying on the family line behind his back and handing over the business, is only here in Pei Jibei, he can barely be called "Dad".

This year Pei Jibei will not make it through.

In the crowd, even including the young woman who was wiping tears, the real family members were just individuals, but the lawyer stood around.

Pei Wende's death is like throwing a piece of meat among wolves, everyone wants to bite.

Pei Jibei rubbed his temples and said, "Go back after reading it. It's not suitable for those who are celebrating Chinese New Year."

Pei Jiding gave a "hmm" and wanted to do something to help, but found that he had been away from this circle for too long.Every word and deed seemed out of place.

Standing here for 10 minutes seemed like several hours to Pei Jiding.

Coming out of the warm hospital, the cold wind penetrated into the clothes from every gap in an instant.

Pei Jiding shivered, but felt an unprecedented comfort.

When he was sitting on the motorcycle and hugging Qin Shang's waist, he seemed to be talking to himself: "Am I a white-eyed wolf? I died and I didn't even hold back a tear."

Qin Shang crossed his arms and lifted the man back, "When we go out, we can talk to Su Niangniang to buy things, it will take an hour and a half, why don't we have a confession first?"

"..." Pei Jiding was silent for a while, and then slapped Qin Shang in the stomach.The soft cloth of the clothes shared most of the strength, and the palm hit the air.

Pei Jiding buried his head and said, "How about you slipped and fell when you stepped on the ice?"

He heard Qin Shang laugh and say, "Then am I going to hibernate on the spot? Lay down for an hour?"
