Years are warm

When the door of the ward was opened, the two people inside couldn't help shaking almost at the same time.

Although I have been mentally prepared, when this moment really comes, the feeling is incomparable no matter how many imaginations I have experienced.

Xu Junyi came in with Xie Yuanhong, he glanced at the two children in the room, and walked aside silently.

At this time, he can't actually talk, not to mention the conversation between the two people before, which can almost be called a breakup.

"Xiao'an." Xie Yuanhong's voice was still gentle, but at the moment it was like a knife cutting into people's hearts, "Uncle... I want to apologize to you first, we are responsible for your injury, if there is any need in the future , your parents can just mention it to us."

Xu Huaian turned his head to look at Xu Junyi who was on the side, and the other side raised his chin, signaling her to make up her own mind.

She pursed her lower lip, and shook her head slowly and firmly: "No need, Uncle Xie, I'm fine."

"No, this matter is our fault and we should be responsible." Xie Yuanhong glanced at Xie Zhiyao who had been silent all this time, coughed twice and changed the subject, "But there is another matter today, I I want to ask you and Yaoyao."

coming.Xu Huaian's heart tightened.

Sure enough, the next moment, the originally gentle person slowly put away his smile, and said lightly: "I think, should you explain to me that you are in a relationship?"

"...What does uncle want us to explain?" Xu Huai'an stood up frowning, her shoulder was still hurting, and one hand could only hang weakly by her side.It was supposed to be a sick and weak posture, but the girl's gaze was neither humble nor haughty looking directly at the man's eyes.

"If uncle just wants us to explain something, yes or no, I think... if uncle asks this sentence, he should already have an answer."

Her attitude caused surprise to appear in Xie Yuanhong's eyes. In his impression, Xu Huai'an was not the kind of character who would stand in the front first, but she did so today.

He nodded and said, "Yes, but I want to hear from you more."

Yes or no.

"Yes." This sentence was not said by Xu Huai'an, but by Xie Zhiyao.She calmly pinched Xu Huai'an's little finger, then stood up and looked at her father, repeating again, "We... are in a relationship, and she is my girlfriend."

"Xie Zhiyao!" Xie Yuanhong couldn't help raising his voice, but realized that he was in the hospital and had to suppress his anger, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Xie Zhiyao looked into her eyes, "But you said, you won't interfere with who I like."

"But that person can't be..." Xie Yuanhong took a deep breath and suppressed the words that blurted out.

That person cannot be a woman.He didn't finish this sentence, but everyone present knew it well.

The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, at this moment, Xu Junyi coughed, and said lightly: "It's not appropriate to be noisy here."

This can be regarded as a step down for both of them.

There was a slight sound of footsteps at the door, Xia Lan glanced inside, then turned out again without moving.

Xu Huaian pulled the corner of Xie Zhiyao's clothes, and asked in a slow voice, "Uncle Xie, can I ask you a question?"

She stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling face, her attitude was mild, Xie Yuanhong had no reason to get angry with her.

"You said."

"Who said this?" Xu Huai'an had an imperceptible coldness in his eyes, but his attitude was still respectful, "I don't think you have such a problem for no reason, right?"

Xie Yuanhong frowned, and did not answer her directly: "Xiao An, you must know that there is no impenetrable wall in the world."

Xu Huaian narrowed his eyes, and a person's name suddenly flashed in his heart.

Xu Yang.

"And even if I tell you, what do you want to do with him? Did he do something wrong?"

She came back to her senses, and couldn't hold back the corners of her lips sarcastically when she heard this: "Then is there something wrong with us?"

"...You are still young, there are some right and wrong, now we say you will not admit it." Xie Yuanhong frowned, "You are a good boy, and uncle doesn't want to quarrel with you, since I asked, you should know My attitude, let's calm down first."

"Yaoyao, come home with me."

Xie Zhiyao clenched her teeth, she turned her head and looked at Xu Huaian, who was also staring at her.

Xie Yuanhong's eyes sank at the door, and his voice became more severe, "Yaoyao, be obedient."

Xu Huaian clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into the flesh, it really hurt, but she didn't seem to notice it at the moment.

"Xie Zhiyao, don't make me repeat it again."

"Yaoyao, be obedient!" Xia Lan didn't know when she started standing by the door, and began to urge her.

Sometimes, the word obedient is really annoying.

Xie Zhiyao lowered his eyelids, and a tear fell on the back of his hand.She turned around slowly, forcing herself to let go of the hand that hooked the corner of the girl's clothes little by little, and walked towards her parents step by step.

Xie Yuanhong probably lost his patience at last, he stepped forward and grabbed her hand and walked towards the door.

She staggered, turned her head hastily, and met Xu Huai'an's gentle and smiling eyes.

It seems to be saying, don't be afraid, go forward, don't look back.

Then the door of the ward was closed, and she could no longer see what the man's expression would be.

Yu Xiuyun stood at the door and watched Xie's couple take Xie Zhiyao away. She has always been a gentle character, but there was no expression on her face at the moment.Watching the three people disappear from sight, she turned around and knocked on the door of the ward, and walked in only after hearing the answer from inside.

Seeing her coming in, Xu Huai'an lowered his head with a guilty conscience, and called her in a low voice.

"mom."

From the beginning to now, she has thought about how to face Xie Yuanhong's anger and how to deal with this sudden storm, but she didn't think about what kind of situation she would be in.

When Xu Junyi came in, her heart sank at most, but Yu Xiuyun... If it's fair to say, she was afraid of her mother's responsibility.

But Yu Xiuyun didn't ask anything, just rubbed her daughter's face and muttered to herself: "Oh, it's okay, just cry when it hurts, it's not shameful to cry in front of your mother and me. "

Xu Huai'an subconsciously grasped the bed sheet tightly, and finally there was a crack on his face, which was pretending to be calm.Her eyelashes trembled, and she tried to raise her eyes to look at her.

She saw her mother just looking at herself like this, her eyes were gentle.

You can cry when you are in pain, whether it is physical pain or heart pain.

"What's the matter? Do you think your mother will scold you?" Yu Xiuyun smiled and stretched out her arms to hug her. Xu Huai'an was already half a head taller than her, but she still patted her back like coaxing a child. Back, said softly, "I know you feel uncomfortable, why are you scolding me? And..."

"You did nothing wrong."

If it is wrong to love someone, then there must be many sinners in this world, and you and I are just one of them.

Xu Huaian's lips trembled, and he looked up at Xu Junyi who had been silent all this time.

The man touched her eyes, his eyes softened, and he just asked, "Is it because I didn't do anything just now?"

She shook her head.

Xu Junyi walked over slowly, raised his hand and rubbed her head with rare warmth: "You don't blame me, and I'm not blaming you."

"Like your mother said, it's okay to cry, but I think...you have other things to do, don't you?"

Xu Huaian took a deep breath and nodded.

Yes, she does have work to do.

Xu Junyi tugged on Yu Xiuyun's sleeve, leaving space for herself.

Xu Huaian sat by the bed, took a deep breath, took the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Siyuan, I need your help."

It was still snowing outside, and it was bone-chillingly cold.

Since she was brought back, Xie Zhiyao hadn't talked to them much, but the door of the room was ordered not to be closed. She could chat with anyone, but she would be stared at any time and could not contact Xu Huaian.

In winter in the south, there is no heating, so she can only turn on the warm wind, but she feels that the wind has never been cooler than this time of the year.

She had no way of knowing what was going on with the other party, but as Xu Huai'an said, they were discussing how to transfer her to another school, and after arguing half-truths, they did let go.

But she was still unhappy, and even the questioning under a certain dispute ended with Xie Yuanhong's angry roar that pointed out that Xie Tingning's lover was a woman, and ended with a slap on her face.

Although he apologized later, the gentle and polite father in the past is like this now, but Xie Zhiyao still feels that he has been blinded by such illusions for so many years.

Some scars that penetrated deep into the bone marrow did not heal, and even became more piercing when exposed to the light as time went by.

This cold war ended the day Li Siyuan came to her.

Xie Yuanhong remembered this girl, he tentatively asked her about Xie Zhiyao and Xu Huaian before she entered the door, but the other party just said that she agreed to come and give her a gift, and left after giving it.

He had no reason to cut off his daughter's social interaction, so he could only let people in.

Xie Zhiyao was also a little surprised to see her coming, but Li Siyuan spoke before she got up.

"I'm here to give you the New Year's gift that I promised you. Did you forget? Here, Zhao Mingzhe and I picked it together. I didn't agree to come to you before. Didn't you say you were going home? I was afraid that I would not have time in the next year, so I came here early and gave this away." Li Siyuan stuffed a box into her hand, raised her voice and said with a feigned cheerful smile, "What's the matter with this gloomy look? For Chinese New Year, be happy."

As she said this, Xie's parents, who were following behind, did not follow into the house anymore.

These words sounded like ordinary chatting and greetings among friends, but...how could it be so simple.

Xie Zhiyao lowered his eyes to look at the gift box in his palm, and suddenly his eyes were so red.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but the other party covered her mouth at this moment and shook her head slightly.

There are people outside the door who haven't left yet.

Can't ask, can't tell.

There can be no words of directivity at all.

Having said that, all previous efforts have been wasted.

She grabbed her wrist, forced a smile, and said, "What did you two buy me? Mingzhe's aesthetics, forget it."

"Yes yes yes, his aesthetic is really not good, so, I picked it for you by your good sister, and I guarantee it will be suitable! I don't know your style yet, but it must be eye-catching no matter what. Yes!" Li Siyuan knew that she had guessed what she meant, so she reached out and nodded her eyes calmly, "Oh, by the way, didn't you mention that you want to apply for an exchange before? We seem to have something similar, I just don’t know if I can win the quota, alas, speaking of it, it would be good if I went, right? Alas... I just feel that I will be very tired..."

The people outside the door couldn't hear these words, but Xie Zhiyao saw the hint in Li Siyuan's eyes, and suddenly understood what she meant.

She didn't say this, but another person asked her to bring it over.

She blinked her eyes, and changed the topic: "If you go abroad, what will Zhao Mingzhe do?"

"It's not like he can't get out." Hearing her question, Li Siyuan smiled. She supported her face and shook her hand as if giving the other party strength, "We are still young, if we don't go out and have a look, then we won't He is a frog in a well. And I am not around him. If he is the only one in my eyes, what if there is any disagreement in the future when someone is a little faster than the other? Love is the icing on the cake. Let’s talk , We've known each other since high school, we've been together for several years, so it's not too late, right?"

Yeah...it's not too late...

It's just... Xie Zhiyao stared at the box carefully held in his palm, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.

What kind of mood did that girl make this decision?

"Going for a walk should also change your mood. By the way, remember to send me a postcard." Li Siyuan stood up, nodded meaningfully at her, and reached out to open the door.

The parents waiting outside the door asked a few polite questions, and sent him out of the house politely.

She put the box on the desk as if nothing had happened, and lowered her head to listen to the footsteps approaching little by little until she stopped in front of the door.

"Yaoyao." Xie Yuanhong stared at his haggard daughter and sighed, "Young, temporary mistakes can be forgiven, but you can't make mistakes again and again..."

"Father." Xie Zhiyao suddenly raised his head and interrupted him, which was a rare move.

The young girl looked at him and said, "You said, as long as I promise to go, I can study whatever I want, right?"

Xie Yuanhong was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, if you get an offer, even if it is the Academy of Fine Arts, your mother and I... will agree."

The girl just looked at him like this, closing her eyes as if she had finally compromised.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll go."

Xie Yuanhong sighed, stretched out his hand to stroke his daughter's hair, and quietly closed the door.

The footsteps gradually moved away, and Xie Zhiyao sat up suddenly, tearing open the packaging of the gift box on the table with trembling hands.

Lying quietly inside was a small silver rubbing, not an exquisite ornament, but she remembered this style, which was exactly the same as the one she gave to Xu Huai'an when she was in high school.

"You made it? It's beautifully carved, but... this shape..."

"Huh? What's the matter? What do you think it looks like?"

"……dog tag."

"Huh? Xu Huaian!"

She turned over the back of the pendant as if she had guessed something, and tears filled her eyes when she saw the letters carved one by one on the back.
