If the world had no daylight

After the surgery date was set, time seemed to be sped up, and I was rushing all the way to the goal.

Bai Tian's summer vacation is coming to an end. Due to the practice of the high school affiliated to Capital University, there are many research lectures before the start of the semester, as well as the "teacher's morality training" held by the street, etc., she is busy all of a sudden.

But even so, Bai Tian still finds time to go to the hospital every day.

Xu Lin saw all of her dedication and concern. Apart from being relieved, she was more worried.

Others may not be able to see it, but Xu Lin can more or less feel that Bai Tian's affection for Ye Li is not as deep as Ye Li's affection for her.

Everyone in the world said "a friend in need is a friend". She and Bai Tian had no relatives or reasons, and the other party hadn't married into their family yet, but she was willing to devote so much time and effort to her, worked hard and never felt impatient.

The more she looked at it like this, the more Xu Lin felt that her son was lucky.

Originally, she had been very worried that Ye Li would be separated from Bai Tian because of her illness.

During this period of time, this girl was really wronged. If she has any complaints, it is reasonable.

However, Bai Tian was not dissatisfied at all.

That's why Xu Lin was more worried.

She felt that Bai Tian was being too polite to Ye Li?

Generally, girls of this age will act like a baby or complain to their boyfriends.Young couples bicker and quarrel on weekdays, throw temper tantrums every now and then, and have a cold war for a day or two. Isn't that what a normal conversation partner would have?

But during this period of time, according to Xu Lin's observation, Bai Tian and Ye Li have not even had any intimate contact.

She understands that her son is a relatively shy person in this regard, and treats women with respect, so he can be regarded as a gentleman.

But it was the same with her girlfriend, which made Xu Lin a little puzzled.

At first, Xu Lin had a ridiculous idea—could Bai Tian be a fake girlfriend invited by Ye Li?

Then she immediately dismissed the idea.

First of all, Ye Li has never been pressured to marry, Xu Lin hopes that he will get married after he becomes more mature.

Secondly, her silly son looked at Bai Tian as if he wanted to pick the stars from the sky to Bai Tian.

After figuring this out, Xu Lin took advantage of the fact that Ye Li was the only one in the ward, and pried his mouth open without much effort.

It turned out that Bai Tian was Ye Li's first love.

Although the two are in the same university, Bai Tian is his senior sister, and Ye Li has never had the courage to pursue her.

It wasn't until two years after graduation that he succeeded in starting a business and ran into Bai Tian again at his company's game launch event, that he mustered up the courage to seize the opportunity.

It took him a whole year to finally impress Bai Tian and become his real boyfriend.

After another whole year, the two took the step of "meeting the parents".

In other words, in this relationship, Ye Li is actually at a disadvantage.His scrupulousness and regard as a treasure made him and Bai Tian not look like a normal couple, but politeness and sympathy were separated in the middle.

And Bai Tian seemed to be making do with it.

But Xu Lin still felt that Bai Tian was not the kind of person who would accept pursuit even if he didn't like it.

As long as these two people are given some time, sooner or later they will become a loving family.

Not just time, but opportunity.

The day before the operation, Bai Tian stayed with Xu Lin as usual, planning to leave until the visiting hours were over.

Ye Li might be stuck in traffic, but he hasn't arrived yet.

Ye Wan went to the doctor's office to confirm the operation arrangement and things to be prepared. Only Bai Tian and Xu Lin were left in the ward.

The two of them kept chatting, and when Ye Wan came back, he was keenly aware that their topic seemed to come to an abrupt end.

She didn't say anything, walked to the sofa and sat down, and told Xu Lin about things to pay attention to tomorrow.

Ye Wan's tone was very ordinary, as if it was just a simple minor operation, it miraculously calmed down the restlessness in the air.

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a sweaty man walked in with a smile and said, "Everyone is here."

He was carrying a bag of things, and put the bag on the coffee table after closing the door.

Xu Lin asked curiously, "What did you buy?"

Bai Tian and Ye Wan also looked at Ye Li.

He took off his coat and threw it aside, undid the cuffs, and sat down to open the bag.

"I bought something to eat, everyone will make do with it tonight, let's have a meal here."

Ye Li said, raised his head to look at Xu Lin: "Of course, Mom, you can't eat."

Xu Lin's eyes widened, and she said dissatisfiedly: "You let me watch you eat? It's really my own."

Hearing this, he laughed: "You can eat it when you recover, and then I will take you to eat all the big meals in the capital."

Xu Lin paused, and pretended to be disdainful and said, "Maybe it's not as good as my craft."

Several people laughed, Bai Tian and Ye Wan took the chopsticks and bento from Ye Li.

Ye Li really didn't buy Xu Lin, she could only sit on the bed and watch them eat.

Seeing her wanting to eat but pretending not to care, Ye Li secretly smiled at Bai Tian, ​​and then took out something tightly wrapped in newspaper from the bag.

Xu Lin took it over without knowing why, but it was still hot to the touch.

She smelled it and her eyes lit up.

“Baked Sweet Potatoes!”

Ye Li gave a "shh", and said in a low voice, "Don't let the nurse overhear you."

Bai Tian was taken aback, and asked, "You can't eat before the operation?"

Ye Wan replied: "I fasted for 12 hours before the operation, and there are still 20 hours before the operation."

Bai Tian nodded and said nothing more.

Xu Lin really didn't expect to be able to eat what she likes now. She was both happy and sad, so she could only lower her head quickly and concentrate on tearing open the newspaper.

Bai Tian brought her the trash can, and caught the torn newspapers and sweet potato skins.

The familiar fragrance floated in the air, and it was still exuding heat. Xu Lin took a bite carefully, and then showed a satisfied expression.

Ye Li withdrew his gaze and started to eat his bento.

Ye Wan suddenly put down the lunch box, went to the water dispenser and took four glasses of water.

She distributed the water glasses to the three people, and then said to Xu Lin, "I wish the operation a success."

Bai Tian paused, raised his hand and touched the cup to the paper cup in her hand.

Ye Li followed behind.

Xu Lin looked at them, her eyes slowly turning red.

She quietly wiped the corners of her eyes, then picked up the cup and moved towards it.

"Stinky boy, you promised to take me to a big meal, I will remember that."

Ye Li laughed: "I'm afraid you'd forget."

After he finished speaking, he drank the water in the paper cup in one gulp.

On the streets of the capital in the evening, the hurried pedestrians were tired and rushed to their destinations.

There was a hunched and emaciated figure walking on the zebra crossing against the flow of people.

Those who saw him subconsciously frowned and avoided, for fear of bumping into him and soiling their clothes.

He didn't seem to care about it at all, wearing a gray jacket in the summer to wrap himself tightly.

There were various stains on the coat, forming pools of dark colors.His messy hair was so long that it covered half of his face, it hadn't been washed for some time, and it was greasy under the street lamp.

A well-dressed young girl walked up to her and was talking on the phone.She didn't pay attention to the people in front, and when she realized that the red light was approaching, she started to trot on the zebra crossing.

Then he bumped into the man who was walking over.

She sprained her high-heeled foot and nearly fell backward.

Holding her arm firmly with one hand, the girl stabilized her body, patted her chest and said, "Sorry, I didn't watch..."

When her eyes swept over her arm, she suddenly stopped.

In stark contrast to the white and slender arm is a hand full of calluses and wrinkles.The back of the hand was almost tanned dark brown, and there were black dirt under the nails.

But what made her froze in place was not that the hand looked too dirty.

Rather - it doesn't have a ring finger or a pinky finger.

In the next second, the other party quickly withdrew his hand, buried his head and walked away from her side.

The girl turned her head subconsciously, but only saw a gray figure from behind.

The man's gait was one deep and one shallow, with a hunched back, and quickly disappeared at the intersection of people coming and going.

After successfully completing the things arranged by the school, it was getting late.

Bai Tian glanced at his phone, hailed a taxi, and rushed back to the hospital across most of the city.

Halfway to the road, the originally sunny weather suddenly thundered, and a flash of lightning flashed from time to time, followed by raindrops, smashing down on the head and face.

Many people on the street were confused by the sudden change of weather. Bai Tian, ​​who didn't have an umbrella, had to get out of the car in the rain and trot into the hospital building.

She didn't care to pat the rain on her body, and went straight to the operating room upstairs.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, a tall figure came towards him.Bai Tian stopped, looked at the person who was walking over while making a phone call, and met her gaze.

But Ye Wan just glanced at her, then looked away again, staggered into the elevator.

Instead of asking where she was going at this time, Bai Tian paused for a moment, then sped up and trotted to the operating room.

Ye Li was already standing at the door, looking at the lighted operating room door.

Hearing footsteps, he looked back.

Bai Tian calmed down his shortness of breath and asked, "How long has Auntie been in?"

Ye Li forced a smile and replied, "It's been more than an hour."

Bai Tian walked over slowly, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to pat his arm.

"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."

Her voice was soft, her tone softened.

Ye Li looked at her, the smile on his face gradually faded, he lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"Would you laugh at me if I said, I'm actually scared to death right now?"

Bai Tian shook his head and said softly: "No, I understand how you feel now. So in front of me, don't force yourself so much..."

Ye Li opened his arms and hugged her in his arms.

Some cold hands were pressed against her back, trembling imperceptibly.

Bai Tian was startled, raised his hand in mid-air, but stopped again.

At the end of the corridor, the man with long hair turned around and returned to the elevator.

The elevator door closed slowly, but she didn't stretch out her hand to press the floor, but just stood there quietly, as if she had forgotten where she was going.
