after the reunion

The twelve o'clock bell has already struck, like it's time for Cinderella to return to real life.Zhao Dongdong looked at the pile of smoke on the ground with reluctance, and Zhao Xi watched from a distance as they finished releasing it, and then slowly walked over.

Zhao Dongdong was led by his father and poked Qin Muyang's thigh, "Uncle Qin, are you still lying to me?"

Qin Muyang was stunned, looking at Zhao Xi's expression, he seemed a little surprised, and immediately squeezed the child's hand, "Zhao Dongdong!"

Zhao Dongdong pursed his mouth, and said aggrievedly, "What Uncle Qin said last time, he said he would come to pick me up, he lied!"

Qin Muyang smiled wryly, and lightly stroked his forehead, "Uncle doesn't want to... Well, I will try not to lie to you in the future, okay?"

Zhao Dongdong sniffled half-understanding, and reluctantly said, "Yes. All right."

Qin Muyang breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Xi saw it, pulled the child to his side, and looked behind him, "Thank you. But don't come here in the future, you are like this...the more the child is attached to you, this will make him how to live..."

Qin Muyang was stuck, with a slightly bitter smile, and wanted to say, "I can keep him so attached," but before he could say anything, Zhao Xi had already said goodbye on his own, "Dongdong, goodbye to uncle."

Zhao Dongdong had a bitter face, "Oh, goodbye uncle, thank you uncle!"

"See you."

The father and son turned around and walked into the corridor. Before they could step up the steps, there was a sudden sound from behind them.

"Xiaoxi, Happy New Year."

Zhao Xi's back stiffened, and he hurriedly responded, pulling the child and running upstairs quickly.

Qin Muyang looked at their backs with his hands in his trouser pockets, and sat back in the car, but he was not in a hurry to go home. He drove to the side of the street a little further away, turned off the lights, and waited quietly.

The mobile phone was kept in the car, and the ringing kept ringing.Qin Muyang didn't need to look to know who was calling. This year's family dinner was different from the past. The Lin family's parents and two children also came. Everyone seemed peaceful on the surface, but he was getting more and more breathless staying there.Bai Yuhang and Xu Haoran have been at Xu's house for a few days, so he couldn't imagine what it would be like for Zhao Xi to celebrate the New Year together.

Every house in that community hung lanterns, and even if the windows were closed, it seemed that the happy conversation of the family could be heard inside. Only that window, the window that he recalled countless times at night, was lonely. Yes, quiet, no lanterns, no laughter, even the lights seem to be darker than other people's homes.

Qin Muyang couldn't tell what he felt at that moment, heartache, remorse, and sadness.

How many years have you not felt this way?Qin Muyang asked himself.The answer is... many years, many days when Zhao Xi left, many days and nights without each other...

Knocking on the door and ringing New Year's greetings began to sound in the corridor early in the morning on the first day of the new year. This is a northern city, which is very different from Zhao Xi's home.He and Zhao Dongdong were still asleep, and were awakened by the earth-shattering knock on the opposite door, feeling a little overwhelmed.

The whole city is waking up to welcome the new year.The sky is still gray, the sun has not yet risen, people have already walked out of the house, and the streets are gradually becoming lively.

Unable to fall back to sleep, Zhao Xi got up gently, got dressed, washed up, then leaned against the window and stared outside in a daze.

Text messages came from his mobile phone, New Year's jokes sent by Bai Yuhang and the others, he read them one by one, sometimes amused by a smile, but he didn't know how to respond, so he had to clumsily type "Happy New Year, happy family" and send them over. .

For him, this is probably his most extravagant state of life.

After the annual leave, the normal working hours resumed, and the atmosphere of the New Year gradually faded away.Zhao Xi began to take out all the passbooks and bank cards at home and organize them. If Dongdong leaves at the end of the year after completing the inspection, then when he returns to another city, the salary will be much lower, but the child's medical expenses will not change.

He thought of the part-time job in the bar, during which time he could go or not.Taking advantage of the time now, the child's health is fine, and the money earned by working in it for a while is also very considerable.

Thinking about it this way, his promise to Zhao Dongdong that "Dad will take you to play, and Dad will accompany you to shop" is invalidated again.

And Zhao Dongdong didn't cry like the previous few times, but the look in his eyes quickly dimmed, but he still said "Oh" obediently, and didn't bother to dwell on the reason.

Maybe the child is sensitive, or maybe he can perceive his father's intentions and understand that no matter how good the uncles are to him now, one day he will still live with his father.

In this world, there are only him and Dad.

Bai Yuhang's school is on winter vacation, and now he is the one who stays with Zhao Dongdong all day long. Gradually, the child is not so resistant to this uncle with facial paralysis. When Zhao Xi occasionally sees it, the little guy will happily pinch Xiaobai That handsome and cold face, although the other party still showed no expression.

Business in 'Yuan Se' is as usual, Fang Qin came back from abroad, occasionally?p>

Lu Qinghua has been here a few times, but Lin Yueze has almost completely disappeared?p>

And when Zhao Xi came to work every night, he could see Qin Muyang sitting on the sofa in the corner, sometimes with Fang Qin, sometimes with Xu Haoran, and more often alone.

Zhao Xi didn't know what he meant, and the other party never made it clear.

Everyone lived in such embarrassment and numbness.If something hadn't happened later, Zhao Xi thought, he and Qin Muyang probably missed it just like that.

As soon as Zhao Xi's birthday passed in mid-February, the whole person fell into a state of non-stop spinning like a spinning top.On that Saturday, there were twice as many customers in the supermarket as usual, and he was so busy that he almost used his hands and feet.

The phone rang suddenly, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

Zhao Xi answered in doubt, and a female voice on the opposite side kept saying something anxiously.

The phone in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", and the heated inner room made him break out in a cold sweat. The child's name, and the small hospital near the school.

Zhao Xi immediately picked up the phone, didn't even change his clothes, and ran out in a panic.I took a taxi with all the change in my pocket, and the driver kindly handed me a tissue.

Only then did Zhao Xi realize that his face was not snowy.He felt cold all over, and he pressed his fingers a few times to connect to Bai Yuhang's call.

Xu Haoran and Bai Yuhang arrived earlier than him, and by the time Zhao Xi arrived, the lights in the operating room had already been turned on.

The female teacher choked up and explained the reason intermittently. Everyone was still taking a nap at noon. Zhao Dongdong had to go to the toilet. The teacher was also sleepy and confused. He didn't hold the child in the stairwell, so he stepped on the empty space and rolled down. Waiting for the teacher to recover , the child has already fallen down below with blood on his face.

Bai Yuhang held Zhao Xi's shoulders and kept whispering comforting words in his ear.

However, Zhao Xi felt that his eyes were suddenly clouded with fog. He couldn't hear the teacher's words clearly, or listen to Bai Yuhang's comfort.

Time passed by, and the door in front of him was suddenly opened.A doctor wearing a white mask came out and anxiously asked about his blood type. Zhao Xi answered in a dazed manner with a daze in his heart.

The doctor obviously didn't expect this situation, and the little nurse next to him who was going to take him to draw blood was also stunned.

Then he panicked, "Aren't you the father of the child? Where is his mother! Don't you know that he has a rare blood type? Time is urgent, where is his mother, hurry up!"

Zhao Xi's eyes were dull, and he was completely speechless.

When the doctor saw his situation, he was annoyed and asked the nurse to go to other big hospitals to contact the blood bank. The child's blood type is rare, and it is basically determined to be a family inheritance. There are not many small hospitals like theirs, and this child used to be I have a history of heart disease, and the blood cannot be remedied in time. I am afraid that it will be too late to go to a big hospital now!

The doctor didn't dare to procrastinate, and the nurse kept calling and inquiring, and took the responsibility letter to Zhao Xi to sign.

Zhao Xi couldn't hear what the group of people in front of him had said to him, so he picked up a pen in a daze, and skillfully wrote his name on it.

Very skilled, just like what he did a few years ago when Zhao Dongdong was born.Keep signing, keep waiting.

The door in front of him was closed tightly, and the lit lamp seemed to be the life of the child. Looking at the whiteness in front of Zhao Xi, the sadness and despair in his heart almost crushed him.

There was his child lying there, the child who smiled and acted like a baby with him yesterday, why was he suddenly sent here?

Zhao Xi couldn't figure out what this was all about.His thinking gradually became clear, and he suddenly remembered what the doctor asked just now, his breathing became short of breath, and he hurriedly said to Bai Yuhang next to him: "Brother, lend me your phone, hurry up!"

Bai Yuhang looked hesitant, didn't ask why, just handed it over silently.

Zhao Xi took it, flipped through the phone book, and found that person's name.The moment the phone was connected, he broke down and cried out: "Qin Muyang, come to the hospital quickly! Hurry up! Please, come quickly!"

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, Zhao Xi flustered words such as "hospital" and "children" around in a panic, and couldn't speak on time for a long time.Although Bai Yuhang didn't know why he was called here, he still helped to get the phone and briefly explained the situation and the address of the hospital.

Zhao Ximu sat on the chair in a daze, and suddenly covered his face with his hands, and a suppressed and desperate sob came out, making Bai Yuhang and Xu Haoran at a loss.
