In the silent place

Chapter 75

The author has something to say: sorry for keeping you waiting~

The sky was still sunny at noon, but now it was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, and the weather was so hot that people couldn't breathe.Jiang Dong stood by the window, looking out while fanning the wind with his hands.Seeing that he was uncomfortably hot, Zhan Zhao suggested that he turn on the air conditioner, but Jiang Dong hesitated for a long time.

"It's not a big problem to drive for a while."

"No, it will cool down when it rains later. Your body is just getting better, what should you do if you catch a cold again?"

Zhan Zhao looked at his cousin's sweaty back, lowered his head and pulled the towel from the end of the bed to be draped over his body. "I'll cover it up, it's okay."

Seeing his persistence, Jiang Dong gritted his teeth and remained silent for two seconds, then raised his head and smiled, and said, "Okay, just turn it on for a while, and turn it off when the room cools down."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao smiled and pulled the towel off the net, leaned on the bed and glanced out the window. "It's going to rain, I'll call my aunt and tell her not to come over."

"Then what do you do for dinner? Doctor Han said that it's best not to eat food from restaurants outside in the future."

"It's okay, I'll just order a nutritional meal from the hospital."

"Is it still possible to order at this point?"

"It can be booked. I will tell her when the nurse comes to make rounds later."

"That's good. You lie down for a while. I'll go out and buy a drink for Young Master Bai. I forgot about it when I got here."

"No need to buy it, he..."

Before Zhan Zhao could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Jiang Dong raising his hand. "No, you have to buy this drink, or that guy will yell at me again. Just wait, I'll come back as soon as I go."

Watching Jiang Dong push the door and leave, Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly.Thinking of Bai Yutang, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.At this time, the aunt and uncle came suddenly, and it must not be just a coincidence... He closed his eyes gently, and the memories came like a raging tide.The number of times he went to Bai Yutang's house was not many, and he could almost count them on his fingers.The aunt is very kind and treats him very well. Occasionally seeing Bai Yutang bullying him, she will support him, pointing at that person's forehead and scolding him.He still remembered the way Bai Yutang stared at him at that time, both serious and joking, full of dissatisfaction, as if wishing he could swallow him up in one gulp.That look of gritting his teeth and pretending to be obedient, still makes people laugh when he thinks about it.Zhan Zhao opened his eyes with a smile, turned around and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, just about to make a call to his aunt when three rhythmic knocks came from outside the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened in response, and nurse Zhou Qu walked in.

"Zhan Zhao, this man insists on coming in to see you, he said you know him."

The middle-aged man who followed the nurse took a few steps forward with a cold expression. "Zhan Zhao, do you remember me?"

Although the person in front of him was somewhat blurred, this voice Zhan Zhao was not unfamiliar. "uncle?"

"Well, it's me."

Although Zhan Zhao knew this person, Zhou Qu who was next to him always felt that there was something wrong between the two.When I was at the reception desk of the inpatient department just now, although the old man was polite and polite, his attitude was tough. His face was so cold that ice could be scraped off. It didn't look like he was here to visit a patient.Ask him who he is from Zhan Zhao, but he doesn't say anything, he just asks to come in for a visit.Since a group of unrelated people had just arrived a few days ago, the head nurse had specially ordered that they must ask about the situation before letting them in.In the past two days, the colleagues around them have been discussing the matter on the Internet whenever they have free time, and Zhou Qu knows more or less about it.The old man seemed to have an extraordinary bearing and a sense of style. I don't know what his background was.She stood in front of the door and kept looking at the person who came, looking at the old man for a while, and Zhan Zhao for a while.Hesitantly said: "Zhan Zhao, this person..."

Zhan Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled at Zhou Qu. "It's someone I know."

"Oh." Zhou Qu responded, and then glanced at the visitor, still with a little doubt in his eyes. "Then I'll go to the ward round first, ring the bell to call me if there's anything to do."

"Well, thank you, Nurse Zhou."

"You're welcome. You talk first, and I'll come back later." After Zhou Qu finished speaking, he waved to him with a smile, turned and walked out of the ward.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became more dignified and awkward.Zhan Zhao tried his best to calm down his heartbeat, and raised his head to look at the person who came. "Uncle, please sit down. The room is a bit messy, don't mind."

Bai Yanduo was not polite when he heard the words, and sat down in the wooden chair not far from the head of the bed.On the hospital bed, Zhan Zhao's face was pale and emaciated. At first glance, he was already sick, except for those eyes.If it weren't for the faint bloodshot eyes, these eyes would be the same as the eyes of the boy in his memory, bright and clear, warm and moist like a spring, unexpectedly after so many years, they would not have changed a bit.Bai Yanduo felt unbearable in his heart, but when he thought of the relationship between this man and his son, his brows furrowed deeply again.

"Zhan Zhao, you must have guessed the reason why I came here today. As a father, I hope you can leave my son." His tone was serious and cold, without a trace of emotion. stated his position.

"I beg your pardon. I cannot grant your request."

A flash of anger flashed across Bai Yanduo's eyes, and he shot Zhan Zhao coldly. "When you are together, there are only disadvantages and no benefits for Yutang. For you, he can be desperate, even give up his favorite job, and make years of hard work in vain. As a public figure, he has to bear How much pressure is there to be with someone of the same sex? If you had thought about him, you would not have given such an answer today!"

The heartbeat accelerated violently, violently, as if it was about to jump out of the chest.Zhan Zhao clenched his fists involuntarily, but his eyes remained fixed on Bai Yanduo's sharp eyes. "This is his decision, and I believe he will not regret it. I will also work hard not to make him regret it."

Bai Yanduo snorted coldly, his face became more gloomy. "He doesn't regret it today, what about the future? Words are scary, but things are unpredictable. Don't make any conclusions for decades."

"This is not a conclusive conclusion." Zhan Zhao couldn't help but reply. "It's just hope."

"Ridiculous. The gap between hope and reality can easily destroy a person's will. How long can you hold on?"

"If a person has no hope, what's the point of living?!"

Zhan Zhao's attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm.Bai Yanduo was at a loss for words by what he said, and for a while he couldn't find any reason to refute, so he was so angry that his eyes were burning and his seven orifices were smoking.Why did everything he said seemed to sink into the sea, but couldn't stir up a ripple in this person's heart?He gritted his teeth angrily, and said indifferently: "Leave these things aside. What about his life? If you are sick, he can take care of you meticulously. What if he is sick? Can you take care of him wholeheartedly? I am afraid that even if it is just a small cold, he will stay far away from you! He will never be happy with you, let alone any future! I know this sounds a little unreasonable, but it is the truth! If You are sincerely for his own good, so please leave!"

Bai Yanduo's harsh words were like a sharp sword, piercing Zhan Zhao's soul.There were many reasons against them, but this one was the one that pained him the most.As Bai Yanduo said, this is the truth.The room that was still stuffy just now seemed to be suddenly flooded with a huge cold current.Zhan Zhao felt as if his whole body was piercingly cold, and even his heart ached from the cold.

"I will work hard to heal the illness, and one day, I will take care of him like he takes care of me. If...if I can't take care of him personally..." He tried to calm down his mood, trying to make his His voice didn't sound as trembling as his own body. "I'll get someone... the best nurse in the world. Even if I can't get up, I won't leave him alone."

Jiang Ning sat in the wicker chair and listened quietly to his son telling the story of him and Zhan Zhao over the years.At the beginning, she would occasionally interrupt her son's words and ask a few questions, but slowly, she was left silent.The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, as if the heavens also felt the oppression and heaviness in the room.Looking at her son's reddish eye circles, her heart ached.Since her son became sensible, she has never seen him cry again.But now that he is an adult, he is a man who stands taller than Yan Duo back then, but like a child, he reveals the most vulnerable and real side in front of her without any concealment.She could hear, and even more clearly, that her son's thoughts on Zhan Zhao could not be changed by anyone else.She sighed softly, glanced out of the window, then slowly withdrew her gaze, and landed on her son again.

"Yutang, this is a lifetime thing, you have to think about it..." She paused slightly as she spoke, looking at her son with worry in her eyes. "This road is not easy to walk. If you choose, there will be no room for regret in the future."

"Mom, I've already thought about these things." Bai Yutang said, looking down at his clasped hands. "I know I've always been self-willed, and I've given you a lot of trouble over the years..." He held his breath and slowly raised his head. "But on Zhan Zhao's matter, I can't give in, and I will never regret it."

"What about Zhan Zhao? Are you sure he doesn't regret it?"

"I can't tell you about many things in detail for a while, but I'm sure of one thing, even if one day he regrets it, he regrets being unfair to me. I didn't understand it before, but now I know it better than anyone else. For me, he can hide away and say nothing..." He said, taking a deep breath. "I know that you and my dad are doing it for my own good, but in this world, he is the only person who can treat me like this. If I give up on him today because of other people's obstruction, what else is there in this world? Is it worth me to persist? If I lose my job, I can find another one, but if I lose this person, where else can I find someone like him?"

Looking at his son's serious and earnest expression, Jiang Ning suddenly felt his eyes sore, and he didn't know whether it was because of these words, or because he remembered himself when he was young.Thinking about it carefully, it's really not easy for Zhan Zhao to treat Yutang like this, but his body...if his son is with him, he will suffer so much in the future...

Bai Yutang saw his mother sighing and sighing, but he didn't make any more trouble. He felt relieved, walked over to lean on the wicker chair, squatted beside his mother and said, "Mom, didn't you always like him? Zhan Zhaohe hasn't changed a bit back then, You'll understand if you see him."

Jiang Ning smiled helplessly, and said in his heart: "I like it, but which mother doesn't love her son more?" ' She sighed softly, looked down at her son, and said softly, "Then take me to see him some other day."

"Mom..." Bai Yutang grinned, but his eyes felt hot.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly and patted his son's head. "Don't be too happy, I haven't agreed yet."

"Don't be afraid, when you see him, you should praise your son for his vision."

Jiang Ning glanced at his son, stretched out his index finger and punched his forehead. "How old is it, I'm still not good at it." She frowned slightly as she said. "Have you talked to your father about these things?"

"I didn't have time to say."

"Don't blame your father, he is also thinking of you..."

Bai Yutang's complexion darkened, he stood up and said, "Mom, I know all this, so don't say it."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but let out another long sigh.My wife and son have the same temper. On this issue, it seems that we can't communicate for the time being. "After dinner at your brother's place later, you take me to your place to have a look. Your father and I will go back early tomorrow morning."

"Isn't the school on holiday? Why are you rushing back? Stay for two more days, and I'll show you around."

"I'm not rushing, but your dad's company can't do without him. Wait for the next time." Jiang Ning stood up and told his son, "Go out later, don't say a few words. Listen to what your dad says Just let it go, don't have to confront him. Don't you know his temper? What good can you do with him?"

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"It's almost there."

The two came to the living room while talking, Yun Rui hadn't seen grandma and little uncle for a long time, and kept walking around them.

"Grandma, grandma, we won the first place in the big caterpillar race today. Also, this is a picture I drew, look."

Jiang Ning sat on the sofa and opened the little book handed over by his grandson. "Did you draw this?"

"Yes, this is a tiger." Bai Yunrui lay on Jiang Ning's lap, pointing to the picture on the notebook. "There's a giraffe behind."

Bai Jintang walked over from the other side, pulled his son up, and said with a smile: "Go, let your mother change your clothes, and later we will go out to eat with grandpa, grandma, and uncle."

When Bai Yunrui heard this, he yelled joyfully, turned around and ran towards the bedroom.Jiang Ning smiled from ear to ear seeing his little grandson jumping around alive and kicking. "Where's your dad?"

"He said he was going out to do something and he would be back in a while."

"Didn't you say where?"

"No."

Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, without further ado, he stood up and walked out.
