10859

At 10:30 in the evening, the intersection near Bar Street is bustling with people.

Yu Nian stood on the side of the road anxiously, his heart was beating wildly.

"taxi--"

"Taxi stop!"

Without caring about being courteous to anyone, he waved his arms violently, almost stopping the car when he saw it. Five minutes later, a taxi that had just finished seeing off passengers stopped across the road, and as soon as he caught his gaze, he rushed across the traffic flow——

"Master!" The door of the back seat was pulled open by him.

"Hurry up to reincarnate!"

The customer on the previous order hadn't gotten out of the car yet, and looked at him like he was insane, and stepped out cursing.

Yu Nianyi sat in as quickly as possible: "Master, the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Los Angeles University, please drive faster, the sooner the better."

The thanked driver was still fooling around with a cigarette in his mouth, but upon hearing his tone, he frowned and glanced in the rearview mirror, "What's the matter, young man, in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

"The elder is seriously ill." Yu Nian said eagerly, "Please send me there as soon as possible."

The driver gasped, and immediately stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom.

"Sit still, there will be no traffic jams at this point, the hospital is not too far away, it will take you a quarter of an hour!"

The four-lane road that is said to be unblocked and not far away is still congested like Yu Nian's mood at the moment.The taxi rushes from left to right, and quickly shuttles through the traffic like a snake.

How could Xiao's father suddenly become seriously ill, and how could he not notify himself until the last moment?

He couldn't figure out the pass, and there were heavy dark clouds in his heart, which couldn't be dispersed or blown away. His fingers were tightly twisted together, and his left hand was breaking the knuckles of his right hand.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder exploded from the sky, hitting the roof of the car.

Yu Nian shivered violently.

"Hey, why is it still thundering?!" The driver glanced at the sky ahead, and said to himself, "Tell me about the sky in Los Angeles, it's really strange that there is thunder and no rain in the middle of the night."

boom -

boom -

Heavy thunder rolled in the sky above his head, like a quilt covering a person's mouth and nose, forcing people to have difficulty breathing.Yu Nian's eyelids twitched every time it sounded, and there was a pot of boiling water in his heart.

"Master, how long is it?"

"Hurry up, turn the corner ahead, and we'll be there in two kilometers." The driver answered skillfully.

Two kilometers... 5 minutes...

Yu Nian couldn't help but took out his phone, read the address sent by Xiao Mocun again, and silently recited it in his heart.

Hospital No. [-] is on the sixth floor, enter from the east gate, go upstairs and turn right again.

—

Five minutes later, the car slammed on the brakes, and a thin figure rushed down from the back seat.

Yu Nian had never been to this hospital before, so he could only run forward while trying to identify the roadside signs. When he reached the sixth floor in one breath, he was panting heavily, and his back and forehead were sweating from exhaustion.

The regular visiting time has passed, the nurse on duty stopped him and asked, and quickly pointed to the right, "The third room, go quickly."

Yu Nian thanked him repeatedly, and ran to the room he was looking for in a few steps.

Outside the door of the light yellow door, he stamped his feet hastily, put his hands on his knees and panted with his mouth open. After a long period of calming down, he gradually stopped.

The door was not closed tightly, with a very narrow gap open, and the light leaking inside was very dazzling, but there was no sound at all. It was a different world from the bursts of thunder outside.

Silence, these two words suddenly appeared in Yu Nian's mind.

Hurrying to get here as quickly as possible, at this moment, it seems that all his courage has been drained in an instant, and there is nothing left.

It seemed that he lost the courage to face it for a moment.

The person in the ward was also his father, who once greeted him with care, pointed out his husband's likes and dislikes with a smile, and confided to him about his adopted son's unsatisfactory childhood in the attic.

They were family back then.Although there is no blood relationship with each other, the sincerity between the elders and the younger generations in those three years was not adulterated at all.

In addition, there are those details that people can't let go of.

Greeting text messages written stroke by stroke by those elders with fingers, scenes of wiping the stool for him with a rag, giving him a wooden ladder in the attic, and the inquiry calls made in the early morning after he was hurt by Xiao Mocun——

If he didn't answer, Xiao Daihua refused to hang up.

During the call, he asked him warmly: "Did Mo Cun bully you again? Don't be afraid, tell Dad, Dad will teach him for you."

Like really treating him like a child.

Thinking of this, Yu Nian curled up with pain in his heart, and suddenly his whole body was filled with fear.

Will such a good person suddenly disappear from this world?

The accident came suddenly, and he was not ready to face it.

After a delay of nearly 3 minutes, Yu Niancai finally mustered up his courage again and made up his mind to walk into the room in front of him that was destined to be full of gloomy clouds.

The wooden door creaked and hit the wall lightly.

The next moment everything was in front of him, but it was completely different from what he had imagined.

There was no cry, no grief, and even Xiao Mocun's figure did not appear in front of him immediately.

This narrow and cramped single ward was full of people standing in darkness.Although they were all as quiet as a wax figure, everyone still looked at him in unison the moment he appeared at the door.

Yu Nian stopped walking and was stunned.

Who are these people in front of them?

From the door to the window, unfamiliar male faces stared at him questioningly and vigilantly, sizing him up from head to toe, as if performing a strict security check for him with their eyes.

Avoiding their unfriendly eyes, Yu Nian looked back, his eyes froze for a moment——

Standing in the corner was an old man with a black cane in one hand. Yu Nian remembered that it was Xiao Mocun's grandfather Qi Minghong.

He actually came too...

What about Xiao Mocun?

As soon as his eyes met, Yu Nian opened his mouth, and just about to say hello, Qi Minghong suddenly turned around and tapped the tail of his stick.

"Mo Cun, the person you were waiting for is here."

The voice was flat and without ripples.

Yu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked in the direction the old man was looking at, and finally found Xiao Mocun among the crowd.

It turned out that Alpha was sitting on a chair, half shorter than the person behind him.When he turned his head, the people behind him took another step to the side, and Yu Nian finally saw clearly.

But it's only been a week, Xiao Mocun seems to be a different person.

The change was not clear on the phone, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, Yu Nian's deep joints seemed to be pricked lightly by burrs.

It's not pain, it's just soreness.

Alpha's always straight suit is wrinkled several times, the tie is gone, the collar of the shirt is unbuttoned, and the stubble on the cheeks protrudes, decadent like an outdated old newspaper.The most pitiful thing was that his pair of sharp black eyes had become bloodshot and dull without knowing when.

They looked at Yu Nian, their eyes were black and red, as if they hadn't closed for days and nights.

Yu Nian opened his mouth slightly, his lips moved up and down, but his throat seemed to be stuck in cement, and he couldn't utter a word.

Those red eyes were still staring at him like that, like a ship that has been drifting for a long time finally arrived at the harbor, exhausted.

"Yu Nian, you're here."

Alpha's voice was hoarse, and it was much worse than the state of strong support on the phone.

Yu Nian nodded in a daze, looking in front of him involuntarily.

On the hospital bed in front of him, Xiao Daihua was lying quietly on his back, half of his body was covered by a pale quilt, and his face had an ominous color of blood.Withered wood-like hands were exposed, one side was full of needles, and the other was tightly held by Xiao Mocun.

"Silence..."

Yu Nian opened his mouth, and whispered these two words softly, like a comfort or a question about everything in front of him.

Xiao Mocun slowly let go of his hand, got up and gave him the seat.

"Dad said he wanted to see you a few times when he was awake, so talk to him a few words."

Yu Nian paused for a second, then hurried over, and sat down in the chair under everyone's gaze, his heart was tightly clenched.

Xiao Daihua on the hospital bed was wearing a ventilator, and the mask was covered with fog. He was so thin that only a piece of skin remained, and his eyes were closed uneasily.

"Dad." The long-lost address popped up without even thinking about it.

Yu Nian held the hand beside the bed, feeling warm in his palm, "I'm Yu Nian, I'm here to see you."

As soon as he said this, his eyes filled with tears.

"Dad..." He yelled again, with a whimper at the end, and shook his hand lightly.

Xiao Daihua, who was dying, was seriously ill. She moved her fingers slightly, but she didn't wake up immediately.

Yu Nian panicked, and stared tremblingly at the Alpha she had relied on in every possible way, "Why doesn't Dad wake up?"

He was afraid that he might not even be able to say the last word.

Xiao Mocun took a step forward, lowered his head and approached his father on the hospital bed, and called him in a calm voice, "Dad, Yu Nian is here, did you hear me?"

Only then did Xiao Daihua quietly open her eyelids.His eyes first fell on his son, and then slowly shifted to the side, and he saw Yu Nian's face a little bit clearly, his cloudy eyes unexpectedly revealed a little brilliance, and he exerted a little strength in his hands.

Yu Nian suddenly grabbed it hard, "Dad! Are you awake?"

Xiao Daihua moved his chin slowly, as if nodding, and then raised his hand with difficulty to take off the breathing mask.

"Dad, I'll help you." Xiao Mocun stepped forward immediately.

After taking off the mask, Xiao Daihua gasped for a moment.Although extremely weak, his expression was still modest, his dry and chapped lips moved: "Xiao Nian..."

Upon hearing these two words, Yu Nian burst into tears, gurgling down her cheeks, biting her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound, and could only wrap her thin left palm tightly with both hands.

The last time we met, I was lying on the hospital bed, feeling heart-piercing pain, and heart-piercing hatred.The four seasons have only gone through half a round, and the person lying on the bed has become Xiao Daihua standing beside him with an apologetic face at that time, and the clock of life begins to count down.

In an instant, a kind of sadness that he had never experienced poured into his limbs and bones.

"Xiao Nian..." Xiao Daihua was furious, as if he wanted to say it but couldn't. After working hard for a long time, he finally gave up, and his fingers started to move tremblingly.

"Dad." Yu Nian let go of his hand, "What do you want?"

Xiao Daihua shook his neck left and right very slowly, and pointed at his son, whom he couldn't let go of the most, with trembling hands raised in the air, and then pointed at Yu Nian.

Yu Nian was taken aback, not understanding what he meant.

"Dad..." Xiao Mocun took the words, "I understand."

Yu Nian turned his head in a daze, only to see Alpha's Adam's apple slowly slipping.

"I'm sorry Yu Nian, I'm sorry child, I'm sorry you. Don't worry, I will never forget what I promised you."

The apology that I had been asking for for a long time suddenly appeared like this.

Yu Nian reacted for a few seconds, the tears seemed to be stimulated and flowed down like a broken thread, but she didn't dare to let out a sound, the crying was stuck in her chest and her mind sank intermittently.

Why do you always regret it after the pain, why don't you know its value until it is irretrievable?

Yu Nian had waited too long for such three heavy words of sorry and one unspoken promise, and when he got it, it was like cold hot cocoa, which could no longer warm his heart.

Xiao Daihua was panting like pulling a bellows, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and his eyes were filled with hot tears.The old hand slowly groped upwards, and found a palm-sized object from under the pillow.

The next moment, he tried to focus his eyes and looked at Yu Nian expectantly.

The Alpha on the side seemed to already know what it was, and stood aside like a stone sculpture, motionless.

"Dad... Did you give it to me?" Yu Nian was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Daihua nodded vigorously.Yu Nianshi bit his lower lip, and gently opened his palm——

It was the old photograph, seen in the attic.

In the picture, Xiao Mocun is still the little boy wearing vest shorts and old sneakers, standing under a pine tree that is several times taller than him, with a serious expression on his face, and an adult yellow cat lying on his feet.

It was the most childish and humane of all Xiao Mocun he had seen.

When Alpha takes pictures, his posture will be stiff, he is willing to touch the cat, his expression is serious but not indifferent, it is the him that Yu Nian loved, the him before he changed.

Xiao Daihua, who was about to pass away, handed such a photo to Yu Nian, but did not leave a word, perhaps for commemoration, or for commemoration.

In honor of the not bad child he raised.

Yu Nian's heart was agitated, tears streaming down his face, he raised his head and wanted to say a few more words to his father, but he saw Xiao Daihua's eyes were kind, his eyes lingeringly passed him, and slowly shifted to his adopted son .

Everyone breathed suddenly.

The father and son did not speak a word, and the father lifted his hand little by little, as if he wanted to touch his son's face.Xiao Mocun hastily put his cheeks closer, obediently like the little boy in the photo.

But when the distance was only an inch away, the movement stopped abruptly.

The person on the hospital bed closed his eyes, and his hands fell onto the bed like falling off a cliff.

"dad!"

Xiao Mocun's figure shook violently, and he could hardly stand in the next second, and took two straight steps back.

"Silence!"

"Young Director—!"

At this moment, the few people who seemed to be transparent from the beginning to the end quickly rushed in front of Yu Nian to support Xiao Mocun. The three tall bodies were like three impenetrable walls, holding Yu Nian who had just got up from the chair. firmly blocked from the outside.

"Mo Cun..." Yu Nian's heart seemed to be fried by hot oil, and he called out Alpha's name in a low voice, and then looked at the hospital bed helplessly, with panic in his eyes, "Dad..."

Alpha seemed to be awakened by him, and suddenly his whole body was shaken, and he broke free from the arms of the three and rushed to the bed in an instant.

"dad!"

Xiao Daihua on the hospital bed could no longer hear her.He closed his eyes peacefully, and his expression was still gentle and quiet at the last moment, as if he didn't want to disturb anyone or bother anyone.

"Dad—" Xiao Mocun knelt in front of the bed, leaned on his adoptive father and muttered as if he couldn't accept the fact, "Don't leave me, don't abandon me..."

Yu Nian was right next to him, feeling a pain in his heart.He tentatively stretched his hands forward, trying to hug Alpha's back, but he stopped slowly in mid-air, with his nails embedded in his palms to restrain himself.

Tuk Tuk-

The sound of the cane being tapped sounded, untimely and unusually cold.

"Silence." Qi Minghong stood by the bed and stared at the back of his grandson's head, "It's useless to be sad when he's gone."

Seeing this, several people on the left and right stepped forward at the same time, and tried to prop up Xiao Mocun's body to drag him back, repeatedly persuading him, "My condolences to Shaodong."

"Go away..." Xiao Mocun's throat trembled.

One of them clung to his ear and whispered, "Young Director, you can't come back from the dead, change your clothes, change your shoes, you have to hurry up before your body is still stiff, you can't be sloppy, or—"

"Go away—!" Alpha's roar exploded like thunder.

Yu Nian shuddered, but he wasn't afraid at all.He recovered from his grief, stepped forward and squatted beside Xiao Mocun, put his shoulders on his shoulders and looked back at these covetous people.

"Are you in such a hurry? It's okay to let them stay for a while?"

He looked at Qi Minghong again, before he could stop his sobs, "Why don't you care about his mood?"

Qi Minghong clasped his hands on his crooked head, staring at him sharply, exactly the same as Xiao Mocun when he was angry.He just stared at him for a long time, and finally endured it for the sake of his only grandson, and slowly withdrew from the ward.

The chaos receded, and the room was instantly empty.

The majestic Alpha in the past is now a wounded beast, lying motionless by the bed, unwilling to let anyone see his expression.

Listen carefully, you can vaguely hear a low whimper in your throat, as low as Beta's hallucination.

"Mo Cun..." Yu Nian felt sad, staring at his side face, "Cry out loud, no one will hear except me."

Xiao Mocun slowly raised his head to look at him, his face was pale, with all the veins protruding, as if he had endured to the extreme, and the excruciating pain overwhelmed all his remaining spirit.

"Yu Nian." He knelt stiffly on the ground, his thin lips moved soullessly, "Dad left me..."

The fundus of the eyes was blood red, but there were no tears.

It was as if the lacrimal gland had been cut off with a knife, and no water could flow out of the eye sockets, the eyeballs protruded slightly, and the canthus were about to split.

"I'm alone forever."

There are tens of thousands of people, and their sleeves become yin, but Xiao Mocun will always be alone.
