If the world had no daylight

Chapter 69 Seeing the Parents

In the VIP waiting room of the airport, a woman wearing sunglasses is resting with her eyes closed.

It was already early morning, and there were very few people in the waiting room, and no one noticed this apparently familiar person.

The short-haired woman who came out of the bathroom came back with a sickly face and no energy. After she sat down, she picked up her phone and looked through it.

The person wearing the sunglasses didn't open his eyes, and said softly, "It's still early, let's have a rest."

Summer vacation is the peak tourist season, and the tickets they can buy take off at five o'clock at an embarrassing time.

Bai Tian looked at the dialog box that Ye Li hadn't responded to, and didn't intend to answer.

She didn't bring many things, only a backpack, and the person opposite was even empty-handed.

The two sat in the quiet waiting room, relatively silent.

During the period, Bai Tian was about to fall asleep several times intermittently, but he forced himself to cheer up, and then checked his phone for any new messages.

After the person on the other side noticed it, he knew it was useless, so he persuaded him: "He won't send you a message in the middle of the night."

Bai Tian ignored her, because that was not the reason why she didn't want to fall asleep.

——Some things she has forgotten, but her body still remembers them clearly, and then repeats them again and again in the dream.

Ye Wan sighed silently and closed her eyes again.

No one fell asleep that night. When the flight notification sounded, the two stood up and went to board the plane one after the other.

The tickets that can be bought are not only awkward in time, but also very unfriendly in price, which is first class.

Ye Wan resolutely bought the ticket first, but Bai Tian didn't find out about it until after boarding the plane.After thinking about it, she still said to the person sitting next to her, "Give me an account for transferring money when you get back."

The man in the sunglasses didn't say anything.

Bai Tian didn't want to owe a sum of money in such a muddle, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the person in front of him took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat and handed it to her.

"Add it."

When she said this, it seemed like she was asking for her contact information.

Bai Tian's unpleasant emotions were easily noticed by the people in front of her. She folded her arms around her chest and turned her head to look at the white sky outside the window. A faint smile flashed across her eyes, and she quickly returned to calm.

In the end, Bai Tian still added the contact information of a personal account, and planned to delete it after transferring the account.

After the flight took off, Bai Tian, ​​whose mental state had reached its limit, still fell asleep unknowingly.

Ye Wan asked the flight attendant for an air-conditioning blanket, covered her gently, then took off her sunglasses, and opened a simple program on the phone.

After explaining a few words to the person opposite, she switched to the reader and continued to read the information stored in it.

Among the sky and cloud shadows, the sun rises in front of you.

Ye Wan didn't look up, and reached out to pull down the shade on the window.

In the next second, a slight weight slipped onto her shoulders, causing her movements to stop.

The steady breathing, the smell of shampoo, and the already familiar body temperature were all magnified by the enclosed space.

After a while, Ye Wan finally put down what he was doing.

In this rare and quiet environment, she relaxed little by little, letting drowsiness control her brain.

The long-lost sound sleep swept over, giving the tired nerves a short rest.

Bai Tian's sleep was not very stable.

She has been dreaming.

The picture in the dream is an empty swimming pool for a while, and a crowded night market for a while.Then in the next second, it jumped to an old movie theater.

The picture on the screen remains the same, but the sound in the theater has changed.

Bai Tian felt it was familiar, so he carefully distinguished it, and then heard himself in those tiny syllables.

The world suddenly shattered, and Bai Tian woke up from his dream.

"... Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is descending. Please return to your seat and fasten your seat belts..."

The sweet voice on the radio slowly brought back Bai Tian's thoughts, and only then did she realize her posture, she quickly moved away from the shoulders of the person beside her, and sat up straight.

It may be caused by the airtight environment, or it may be that the temperature on Bai Tian's face has risen quietly after waking up from sleep and cannot be lowered.

The person sitting by the window still kept his hands folded, with his head sideways facing the window, as if he was still asleep.

The rest of the people had already started packing their things, and the plane was slowly landing, so Bai Tian could only call her: "Ye Wan."

The other party didn't respond, Bai Tian hesitated for a moment, moved closer, and said again: "Ye Wan, we're about to land."

The person with eyes closed made a slight breathing sound from his nasal cavity, which could be heard clearly after getting close.Bai Tian didn't expect her to sleep so deeply, so he could only reach out and push her shoulder.

This action was much more effective than she expected, because almost the moment she touched the other person, the sleeping person turned his head suddenly.

Bai Tian was unprepared, and didn't even have time to react. After seeing the soft warmth brushing her lips, she retreated reflexively.

Ye Wan had just woken up at this time, she opened her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and then scanned around, knowing that she had arrived at her destination.

"Pack up your things." She said, straightened up and opened the shade, and then yawned imperceptibly.

The people around him didn't respond, Ye Wan turned his head to look at it strangely, but the other party immediately avoided his sight and lowered his head.

She didn't have time to think about it, because the plane had already landed.

The air in City C has always been much better than that in the capital, and today is a rare sunny day. When Ye Wan walked out of the airport, she glanced at the blue sky and white clouds above her head under her sunglasses, and even felt a little better.

She stopped a taxi casually, and after letting the people behind her get into the car, she reported the address to the driver.

The local dialect is used.

Bai Tian who was sitting by the window glanced at her, but didn't ask any questions.

After the driver started the car, Ye Wan called Ye Li with her mobile phone, saying that she and Bai Tian had already got off the plane.

Ye Li seemed to have only slept for a short time, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked in a tired voice: "Bai Tian is here too?"

Ye Wan gave an "um" and asked, "How is Aunt Xu doing today?"

"It's a long story, you guys come directly to the house first."

Ye Wan also had the same plan, they were busy with travel and dust, so it was not good to just let Bai Tian meet for the first time.

After hanging up the phone, she glanced at the time and found that it was already past meal time.

Ye Wan looked at the people beside her and said, "Let's go home to rest and have a meal first. Then we can buy something and go to the hospital to see Aunt Xu."

Bai Tian had no objection and nodded, but never spoke.

Ye Wan had nothing to do with her silence, because she had no position to say anything else.

Sometimes, cutting off the back road is not a bad thing.

Because you never know how many times you will fall.

City C is a second-tier city in name, but in fact it is developing rapidly and has the momentum to approach a first-tier city.

However, its rhythm is soothing, not full of depression and urgency like the capital, nor is it pushing people forward like S City.

The drive from the airport is always remote, and it was already more than two hours when the two arrived at the downstairs of the residents full of fireworks.

Ye Wan picked up Bai Tian's backpack first, transferred the money and got off the car.

Bai Tian had no choice but to follow behind her, and the two of them walked into the gate of the community one after the other, and went downstairs to the apartment building.

This is a very old community. There is no elevator in the unit building, and the aisles are full of small advertisements that cannot be cleaned, but fortunately, the floor and handrails are cleaned very well, and it looks only messy but not dirty.

Bai Tian followed her up to the third floor, while listening to her explain: "Aunt Xu is not in good health and cannot exercise vigorously, but if the floor is too low, it will be very noisy, so the third floor is the most suitable."

Without asking her why she had to explain so much to him, Bai Tian just responded, expressing that he understood.

The two stopped in front of the anti-theft iron gate on the left side of the third floor, Ye Wan's breathing was steady, but Bai Tian was panting slightly.

Soon after the doorbell rang, someone came to open the door.

Ye Li was wearing home clothes, because of his very young face, he looked quite youthful.

He scratched his head with some embarrassment, and opened the door while saying, "Sorry, I left without saying a word, let you worry."

Bai Tian smiled reassuringly at him, Ye Wan led her in, and said casually: "Don't do this next time, just panic when something happens, you're the big boss."

Ye Li is always willing to listen to other people's suggestions, especially his sister's, so he is not unhappy.

After entering the door, Ye Wan realized something was wrong.

The sound of cooking in the kitchen could be heard clearly even in the living room. She looked at Ye Li and wanted to ask something, but the people in the kitchen had already come out.

Xu Lin held a spatula and wore a Doraemon cartoon apron around her body. When she saw her, she immediately smiled and said, "I'm back late, dinner will be ready soon."

After she finished speaking, she saw the person behind Ye Wan, her eyes swept over Ye Li, and she immediately understood.

"Who is this?" Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Ye Li blushed a little, but still walked behind Bai Tian, ​​patted her shoulder lightly, and said to Xu Lin: "Mom, this is Bai Tian."

Bai Tian showed a slight smile, and greeted her politely: "Hello, Auntie, I came here without telling you in advance, I hope you don't mind."

Xu Lin's smile was even worse, and even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes became a little darker. She quickly said, "I don't mind, I don't mind, it's because Auntie didn't entertain well. Please sit down for a while, and dinner will be served right away."

Ye Li whispered to Bai Tian: "Don't be too nervous, just sit down for a while."

Then he followed Xu Lin into the kitchen, and Bai Tian could vaguely hear Xu Lin's voice driving him out from outside.

Ye Wan stood aside, quietly watched the scene of meeting the parents, and then calmly walked to Bai Tian's side.

"I'll pour you some water, go rest on the sofa first."

Only then did Bai Tian's tense nerves relax a little. She nodded, took her bag, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Ye Wan poured water for her, and after handing it to her, sat down beside her.

"Aunt Xu must have known that I was coming back, so she was discharged from the hospital." Ye Wan's voice was a little helpless, as if she knew the other person's character very well.

Bai Tian couldn't help but said, "Auntie's complexion looks pretty good."

"This is an old disease. Eight years ago, I had a major operation to save my life. I have been taking good care of it for the past few years. I don't know why it suddenly relapsed."

Eight years.

Bai Tian grasped the word keenly.

But she didn't ask anything, just nodded and said, "I'd better advise her to go back to the hospital for another examination today. If it doesn't work, take her to the capital to see a more authoritative expert as soon as possible."

She and Ye Li have the same idea, as long as it can be cured, it doesn't matter how much it costs or how many places they travel, even going abroad is not a problem.

Ye Wan felt that this time it was not that simple.

She suppressed those hidden worries, changed the topic, and chatted with Bai Tian without saying a word.

Gradually, Bai Tian lost his nervousness at the beginning, and Xu Lin even volunteered to help in the kitchen after the meal was served.

The family has not been so lively for a long time. Xu Lin sat at the dining table with a smile on her face, and she kept picking food for three people, and no one was left behind.

Ye Li couldn't help but said: "Mom, you should eat something yourself, you've been busy for a long time."

Only then did Xu Lin retract her chopsticks, pick up some food for herself and start eating.

While eating, she asked about Ye Wan's recent situation, just like her own mother, full of genuine care in her chatter.

Ye Li gave Bai Tian a relieved look, obviously he had been talked about a lot during the day he came back.

Bai Tian smiled back, but felt nothing in his heart.

Faced with these cumbersome questions, Ye Wan answered them seriously, without hiding them, almost answering every question.

"So you're really not going back this time? Auntie Feng next door asked me for your autographed photo, saying that her daughter is your fan, and she's always worried about your retirement."

Ye Wan smiled, "I really won't go back, I didn't like it at first."

The smile on Xu Lin's face stopped, she sighed, and said, "It's Auntie who hurt you, if it wasn't for this illness..."

"Mom, my sister has already said this, so let's not mention it." Ye Li looked at Ye Wan's face and persuaded her.

Bai Tian paused with his right hand holding the chopsticks, without looking up.

Xu Lin also came to her senses, and laughed quickly: "It's rare to be lively today, so don't talk about those spoilers. Come to Bai Tian, ​​try this soup, it's good for you young people."

She has already noticed that this girl eats very slowly and looks very thin, probably because she usually eats very little.

Ye Wan's gaze rested on Bai Tian's hand holding the chopsticks, feeling a sense of disobedience lingering in her heart.

The person being watched has already taken the soup bowl, picked up the spoon and started drinking.

"It's delicious, what is it made of?" When Bai Tian raised his head, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and he even praised it casually and naturally.

Ye Wan looked away and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.

Praising people is Ye Li's unique skill, he echoed a few words, coaxed Xu Lin from ear to ear, and scolded with a smile: "You are too glib, Bai Tian, ​​you have to pay attention, if he dares to If you do this to other girls, you just tell Auntie, and I will deal with him."

Ye Li blushed and stopped talking.

Bai Tian smiled back, but didn't answer.

The person sitting opposite her put down his chopsticks, took a sip from his water glass, and said, "I'm full."

Xu Lin was distracted again and started talking to her.

Bai Tian breathed a sigh of relief calmly, but did not notice Ye Li's disappointed expression.

Said it was lunch, but it was almost evening after eating.

Ye Li persuaded Xu Lin to go back to the hospital, but the other party felt that he was a disappointment, and said, "How often does your sister come home, and there are guests, how can you leave."

After persuading him to no avail, Ye Li could only temporarily dismiss his thoughts and prepare to continue the war of resistance tomorrow.

City C has always been a city that focuses on enjoying life. The neighbor next door heard that Xu Lin was discharged from the hospital, and sent home-grown grapes, which were big and sweet.Before leaving, she wanted to ask Xu Lin to play mahjong, but she declined because she had a guest at home.

The other party glanced at the living room, then smiled knowingly, and said in a low voice, "Then wait for the wedding wine."

Xu Lin beamed, and after sending the person away, she took the grapes to wash them, and served them to the three children.

There is no entertainment at home, so I can only watch series in front of the TV.

Ye Wan felt very at ease, took the grapes and started eating.Ye Li helped Bai Tian peel one, but she declined saying that it was inconvenient to eat it cold, and rejected the other party's intimate overtures.

The only person present who knew she was lying continued to eat calmly without looking up.

Just talking and laughing like this, time flies by.

Xu Lin had already cleaned out Ye Wan's house, and she cleaned it regularly, and it was always clean, so she could live in it directly.

Before nine o'clock, Xu Lin, who had a very regular schedule, had already washed up from the bathroom, and then said to the three people in the living room: "Tian Tian, ​​I am wronging you to stay with Ye Li and his sister tonight. It's changed."

As soon as the words fell, the two people in the living room froze in place.
