Ni Lu pushed the slightly cool mint candy in his mouth to the side with the tip of his tongue, and a small bag bulged on his left cheek.

"Where did the sugar come from?" he asked.

Zhang Yucheng said, "Ask the flight attendant what I want."

Ni Lu recalled it with difficulty with his still swollen head, but he couldn't find such a passage from his empty and fuzzy memory.

Seeing his confused face, Zhang Yucheng smiled and said, "You may not have noticed."

After finishing speaking, he took out another candy from his pocket, "Do you want more?"

Ni Lu paused for a while, then reached out to take it, "Thank you."

Zhang Yucheng asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll ask the flight attendant to bring you a blanket."

Ni Lu shook his head, "No, I can't sleep."

Now he is so distraught, how could he be able to sleep.

Zhang Yucheng looked at his pale face due to discomfort, and said, "How about we have a chat?"

Ni Lu's gaze stayed on Zhang Yucheng's face, and he nodded slightly, "Yes."

So Zhang Yucheng asked, "First time flying?"

Ni Lu: "Yes."

Zhang Yucheng: "Will you faint? Do you want to vomit?"

Ni Lu felt it carefully, then shook his head, "I don't feel dizzy, and I don't want to vomit either."

Zhang Yucheng's expression was soft, as if he had let go of a little worry, with a slight smile in his eyes, "That's okay. It should be that the atmospheric pressure of the plane rose too fast and made you feel uncomfortable. When the plane reaches the top of the troposphere, it will be relatively stable. You should feel better."

Ni Lu said: "The first few minutes were uncomfortable, but now it's much better."

"That's good." Zhang Yucheng took a look at the phone that was set to flight mode, "It's 27:[-], and we have more than four hours of flight time. We should be able to get off the plane before [-]:[-] in the morning."

four hours?

Ni Lu's eyes were a little blurred. He remembered that he went to Beijing to go to university and took a train for more than 40 hours.

He murmured: "It's so fast."

Only four hours.

Zhang Yucheng asked, "Is this the first time you're so far away from home when you go to school this time?"

Ni Lu leaned his head on the back of the chair, looked up, and didn't know what he was looking at, "This is the first time I am out of the city, the first time out of the province, and the first time I am so far away from home."

At around nine o'clock, the stewardess came to deliver the meal. The food was quite varied. The staple food was bread and noodles, served with bottled milk tea, and the after-dinner snack was a small box of pudding and a small box of fruit.

Ni Lu couldn't eat anymore, so he unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of milk tea to moisten his dry throat. He asked Zhang Yucheng, "Can I take these things off the plane if I can't finish them?"

Zhang Yucheng was opening the box of fruit. Hearing this, he glanced at him, and imitated him and whispered: "Meals are included in the air ticket, as long as your bag fits, you can take it with you."

Ni Lu immediately felt relieved.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat it and waste it. Although I try to stuff it, I can still stuff it into my stomach. I'm afraid that it will be uncomfortable when the time comes. It would be great if I can take it off the plane, and I can eat it whenever I want.

Then Ni Lu, like a little hamster trying to stuff food into its mouth, carefully covered the lunch box on the small shelf, then took out his own bag, and stuffed them one by one until his bag was full.

Before he could zip it up, two more lunch boxes were handed over.

Zhang Yucheng's eyes were slightly bent, "Is it still stuffed? I can't eat it anymore."

Without saying a word, Ni Lu stuffed it into the bag after receiving it, and tried to stuff it in if he couldn't fit it. He was so concentrated that he seemed to be completing a major event that could not be wronged. It's full of smiles.

Finally Zhang Yucheng received the bulging bag in his hand, he stood up and carefully stuffed the bag into the luggage rack.

The plane was about to descend, and when the flight attendant reminded the passengers to fasten their seat belts, Zhang Yucheng asked, "Where is your mother in the hospital now?"

Ni Lu, who was busy fastening his seat belt, told him the address of the hospital without thinking too much.

The whole flight went smoothly, boarded the plane on time, and got off the plane on time.

Ni Lu, who was flying for the first time, was already a little dazed before he got out of the airport. He didn't know what to do next. He was thinking of going to the information desk to inquire, but before he got off the plane, he started to hold his mobile phone and didn't know what to do. What Zhang Yucheng came up to him and said, "Get out of the airport first, I called a car, and I'll be there soon."

ha?

Ni Lu was really dumbfounded this time, Zhang Yucheng held his hand and led him away from the airport without reacting.

Ni Lu's bulging backpack was on Zhang Yucheng's back at the moment.

When he got off the plane, he moved quickly and took the bag from the luggage rack. Instead of handing it to Ni Lu, he put it on his back. He pretended he didn't hear that Ni Lu wanted to come back.

After leaving the airport, I didn't have to wait 10 minutes before a taxi drove over.

Zhang Yucheng opened the door and let Ni Lu sit in the car, and he got into the car when they were seated. Once the two of them sat down firmly, the taxi driver confirmed that the person calling for the car was Zhang Yucheng, and the car drove out.

Ni Lu, who was sitting in the car, gradually realized, "Is it a car-hailing software?"

Zhang Yucheng took off his bag and put it on his lap, nodded: "Almost. It's a map software. As long as you have an address, it will help you plan your route and provide a taxi service."

After speaking, he looked at Ni Lu, "What's the matter, are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing." Ni Lu shook his head, reached out to retrieve the backpack from his lap, and held it in his arms.

I just feel that Zhang Yucheng is really omnipotent, as if nothing can break his calmness, no matter where he is, he can always handle everything in an orderly manner.

With him here, I really don't have to worry about anything.

As he said before, don't worry about anything, just leave everything to him.

This person is really nice.

Thinking this way, he didn't dare to look at the person sitting next to him. Ni Lu's eyes fell on the outside of the car window, and his right index finger unconsciously scratched the strap of the backpack lightly.

The taxi drove for about an hour, and finally entered the city at two o'clock in the morning.

At this time, most of the city is quiet, and although the flow of people is less, the lights of the city are still conscientiously illuminating every road.

This is the largest city in Yunnan Province, the provincial capital, but it is not the end of Ni Road.

The place he and Zhang Yucheng were going to was a small town [-] kilometers away. There was no high-speed rail or train, and it took seven or eight hours by car.

The taxi parks directly outside the gate of the coach station.

Zhang Yucheng bought the ticket online with his mobile phone while sitting in the taxi. He went to the station to pick up the ticket and boarded the bus directly. There were two tickets for the sleeper car, and the train departed on time in 10 minutes.

Zhang Yucheng said: "It's just that I can sleep for a while, and when I wake up, I will arrive at the station."

Probably because of time constraints, there were only five passengers in the car, including them, after two o'clock in the morning.It’s also the first time for Ni Lu to ride a sleeper car, and it feels okay. Although the sleeper car is narrow, it’s quite comfortable to lie on, and the legs can be stretched out——

Thinking of this, Ni Lu turned his head and looked at Zhang Yucheng who was lying on the bed across a passage. His legs were too long, and he had to bend his legs when he put them down, so he could only lift them up and lightly rest them on the luggage rack in front.

At this time, the inconvenience of long legs appeared.

Ni Lu couldn't help asking: "Is it uncomfortable if you can't straighten your legs?"

Zhang Yucheng said: "The time is not very long, it can make do with it."

Ni Lu looked at this person who had been within his reach shortly after he received the news that his mother was hospitalized, and his fingers began to pick at him unconsciously, the burlap under his body made him scrape lightly ring.

Then when Zhang Yucheng looked over, he hurriedly closed his eyes in self-deception.

Ni Lu thought he couldn't fall asleep, but when the car started, he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly like a baby lying in a cradle as the car reversed and turned around.

He who fell asleep didn't know that when the bus was driving on the road with street lights on, Zhang Yucheng, who had never closed his eyes, was quietly looking at his ignorant sleeping face by the light outside the bus. From time to time, his eyes moved to the scar at the corner of his eye, and then to his face, until the bus drove out of the city road and onto the highway, and the compartment was completely plunged into darkness.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the bus pulled into the station, and Ni Lu and Zhang Yucheng got off one after another.

Ni Lu simply rinsed his mouth and face at the sink outside the public toilet at the passenger station, and was about to wipe his face with his sleeve when there was an extra handkerchief in front of him.

I remembered that when he went to the bathroom, Zhang Yucheng didn't go in together, so he probably went to buy it at that time.

Ni Lu took the package of papers, tore open the bag and took out a sheet, and said, "Do you want to wash your face too?"

Zhang Yucheng walked up to the washing machine, washed his hands first, then bent down to catch the water and splashed it on his face.

It was obviously an ordinary movement, but Zhang Yucheng did it with a calm and elegant manner. Ni Lu was a little stunned and forgot to wipe off the water droplets on his face.

After Zhang Yucheng straightened up after washing his face, Ni Lu handed him a handkerchief that had been spread out.

Zhang Yucheng took it, and smiled at him lightly, pursed his thin lips, pasted the paper to his face and began to wipe off the water droplets on his face.

Ni Lu squeezed the piece of paper he had used in his hand, and seeing that Zhang Yucheng had wiped it almost, he said, "Let's find a restaurant and have something to eat first."

It's almost ten o'clock in the morning, usually at this time they have already finished breakfast and sat in the classroom for class.Ni Lu felt that Zhang Yucheng must be hungry. After all, they had only eaten a bowl of dumplings since seven o'clock last night.

Zhang Yucheng's eyes turned around the bag on Ni Lu's back, "I'm not going, didn't you pack the plane meal last night? Just eat this."

Ni Lu couldn't help frowning, not quite agreeing: "It's cold."

"It's okay." Zhang Yucheng waved his hand, picked up his phone to check the time, "Just eat a pudding and some fruit to cushion your stomach. The hospital in the town is a long way from here. I just called a car and I think it will be there in a while."

Looking at Zhang Yucheng, Ni Lu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

It's just that when they arrived at the gate of the passenger station and saw that the car hadn't arrived yet, Ni Lu asked Zhang Yucheng to wait at the same station, and he quickly ran to a small shop near the gate of the passenger station to buy two cups of hot drinks and a few steamed buns.

When handing the soy milk and steamed stuffed bun to Zhang Yucheng, Ni Lu said, "It's better to have something warm. You've come to my place, and I can't let you eat cold leftovers on an empty stomach."

Zhang Yucheng smiled and took it.

The reason for rejecting Ni Lu's proposal to find a place to eat is because Zhang Yucheng knows that Ni Lu probably won't be able to eat well now, and his thoughts are all on his mother who is in the hospital. She is already standing on the land of the small town, and she wishes she could grow wings immediately fly over.

Zhang Yucheng understood him, so Ni Lu didn't know Zhang Yucheng's intentions.

He really wanted to see his mother right away, but he couldn't let Zhang Yucheng, who accompanied him all the way from all the way, not be able to eat hot food.

Two people settled for breakfast in a taxi.

The buns Ni Lu bought were not too many, and he ate the soy milk together, which just filled the stomachs of the two of them to seventy percent full.

Get off the car is the hospital. QQ+286②3096⑦0

Ni Lu didn't go in immediately, but took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Second Uncle, I'm here, at the gate of the hospital."

Not long after, a dark and skinny man in his 50s appeared at the entrance of the hospital. His eyes lit up when he saw Ni Lu, and he walked up to Ni Lu in two or three steps, "Xiao Lu, why did you arrive so soon? Let's go, I'll take you there." See your mother!"

Ni Lu was dragged forward by his second uncle, without stopping, and looked sideways towards Zhang Yucheng. Seeing that Zhang Yucheng was following him, he followed his second uncle into the hospital with confidence.

The second uncle, who hadn't paid much attention to his surroundings, got into the elevator, only to find this very good-looking young man who was half a head taller than his nephew who followed him all the way.

"Xiaolu, what is this?"

Ni Lu introduced: "My roommate, Zhang Yucheng. This is my second uncle."

Zhang Yucheng nodded to his second uncle, "Second uncle, hello."

Ni Lu said, "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have arrived so fast."

The second uncle grinned at Zhang Yucheng straightforwardly, and when he heard what Ni Lu said, he hurriedly said, "Thank you for causing you trouble."

Zhang Yucheng said, "No trouble."

After exchanging pleasantries, when the elevator was about to arrive, the second uncle remembered something, grabbed Ni Lu's arm, and asked, "Xiao Lu, what happened to those things uploaded on the Internet?"

Ni Lu didn't know how to explain for a while, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing him like this, the second uncle sighed and patted his back.

"When I saw your mother, tell me well, don't get angry with your mother anymore, you know her body...you can't be angry..."

Ni Lu did not speak, his face was lowered, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, his jaw line was tense.

Not long after getting out of the elevator, they arrived at the ward where Huang Cuilan lived. When they arrived, the second aunt was helping the pale-faced Huang Cuilan out of the bathroom.

Huang Cuilan's face was thin and sallow, which is unique to people who have been ill for a long time, and she looked very haggard. Before Ni Lu came in, she even seemed to have lost her soul, almost leaning on her second aunt, and walked forward in a vain manner.It wasn't until Second Aunt saw Ni Lu came in and called "Xiao Lu" that she seemed to wake up and raised her head. When she saw the person standing at the door, her eyes turned red and she staggered towards Ni Lu.

"Small road... small road..."

"mom!"

Ni Lu stepped forward to support Huang Cuilan.

Huang Cuilan looked up at her son standing in front of her, stretched out her hand to caress his face, and finally touched the extra scar at the corner of his eye tremblingly, she said with red eyes: "Mom doesn't believe what those people say...my son doesn't Will do those things... Those people are wrong, you are a good boy... They are wrong... Mom believes in you... Xiaolu, you have been wronged..."

A teardrop fell from Huang Cuilan's tear-filled eyes.The sentence "You are wronged" finally broke all Ni Lu's forbearance for many days, he hugged his mother's thin and thin body with red eyes, "Mom!"

Huang Cuilan hugged him tightly, tears completely out of control.

"Xiaolu, my child...how could they scold you like this, how could they treat you like this...my child, Mom loves you...Mom loves you..."
