Chapter 30 I Didn't Expect It To Be Such...
In the early morning of the next day, An Mingyu leaned against the edge of the bench with his arms propped up, and Cheng Yue, who was behind him, slept sideways on the inside, with a thin hospital blanket over his body.
An Mingyu nodded her head and woke up, just in time to see the door of the ward was pushed open, and a middle-aged couple looked inside.
He made a guess in his heart, walked over and asked, "Hello, is this Uncle Cheng?"
The middle-aged men and women were stunned, and the woman quickly waved her hands: "No, we are Cheng Yue's uncles and aunts, not his parents, you are..."
"I'm his classmate." An Mingyu lowered her voice, "Cheng Yue fell asleep, and his grandfather hasn't woken up yet, but the operation was successful."
"Oh!" The woman patted her chest, "Bodhisattva bless you, Bodhisattva bless you, if you succeed, it's fine. Let's stop by at work and let him sleep. Xiaoyue must have worked hard, and you have worked hard too."
An Mingyu smiled faintly, and let them enter the room to take a look at Cheng Yue and Grandpa Cheng. The three of them closed the door and stood back in the corridor.
"Little classmate, what's your name?"
"An Mingyu."
The woman opened her eyes when she heard the name: "Oh... An Mingyu, hello, my surname is Li."
The An family is a wealthy family that is often mentioned in the news in the entire country C. Aunt Li knew what was going on as soon as she thought about it: "Thank you, An Mingyu, did you help pay the surgery fee? Thank you, thank you."
An Mingyu didn't want to mention this matter too much, so she nodded her head and said, "You're welcome."
"Hey, we are a small business, and we can't afford so much money at once." Aunt Li said, "Why don't you give us a contact information and pay you back the money before the end of the year, okay? "
An Mingyu shook her head: "No, Cheng Yue and I will discuss it."
Uncle Li also stood up and teased her: "Don't worry about the things between children and friends, they will know how to solve them."
"Okay, okay." Aunt Li sighed.
An Mingyu thought for a while, but still couldn't hold back the question in her heart: "Excuse me, Cheng Yue's parents..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the expressions of the two people in front of him changed.
An Mingyu understood most of it in her heart: "Sorry, I was too talkative."
Aunt Li shook her head, and when she mentioned sad things, her eyes would inevitably turn red even after so many years: "It's okay, hey, it's rare for Xiao Yue to have such a loyal friend, so it's okay to let you know." She wiped her eyes a few times, "The child's parents died in a car accident when he was in junior high school."
An Mingyu frowned imperceptibly.
Aunt Li murmured: "I just feel that God is jealous of him being so good-looking and energetic, so he cruelly let this kind of thing grind him."
She seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, and she immediately opened up the chatterbox.
"Back then, Xiao Yue was the smartest and hardworking kid in our neighborhood. He was a top-notch student in his studies since he was a child. His parents were both educated people who passed the exams from City Z. We didn't have many college students in that era. Xiaoyue was selected into a... Junior class in junior high school. We all said that this kid's future is limitless. His mother held a banquet in the big hotel on the third street to celebrate, and something like this happened on the way... "
"Such a small child, my heart aches when I think about it now, so I just keep holding me and crying... It's a hard life."
"Old Cheng is his only relative now. Fortunately, he can survive this time. I only hope that he will live a long life and spend more time with Xiaoyue."
"Don't moan in front of the juniors, it's unlucky for what you look like!" Uncle Li disagreed.
Then she waved her hand: "Stop talking, stop talking."
An Mingyu and their husband and wife exchanged a few more pleasantries. Aunt Li said that they had to go to work and left first. Before leaving, she held his hand to express her thanks.
Looking at the still sleeping person through the glass of the ward, An Mingyu lowered her eyelashes, unable to tell what it was like.
He stood at the door for a long time, but still couldn't hold back and took out the cigarette from his pocket.
"Sir, smoking is not allowed in the hospital." A nurse reminded him, seeing An Mingyu's face, he was stunned again, and lowered his head shyly.
"Yeah." An Mingyu held the cigarette case in her palm, "I'm going to the balcony, can I smoke on the balcony?"
"OK."
"Are there any disposable cups you don't use?" he asked.
The nurse found him a plastic cup, and An Mingyu took the small cup, walked up to the balcony, and leaned sideways on the fence.
What Aunt Li said just now went back and forth in his mind several times. He had a cigarette in his mouth for a while, and just as he was about to light it, he thought of Cheng Yue's sleeping face inexplicably.
The face was clean, tenderer than a freshly peeled boiled egg. Cheng Yue lay in his arms for most of the night at such a close distance last night, and he could almost count the fluff on the other's face.
There is also a small red mole on Cheng Yue's right ear, which is very inconspicuous. He accidentally saw it when he brushed his hair away.
An Mingyu Mosuo flicked her fingers a few times, as if savoring the touch on the skin.
Such a person, standing in Z city, he still feels aggrieved, no matter how he thinks, it is not suitable for him to smell of smoke.
An Mingyu bit her cigarette butt, the irritability hovering in her heart slowly dissipated.
After a while, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Mingyu?" Mother An was a little surprised.
"Mom." An Mingyu took off the cigarette, folded it, and threw it into a plastic cup, "Do you still have the list of my first participation in the junior class?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds: "There should be, but I have to look for it. What happened? Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
"It's okay." An Mingyu's eyes fell in the distance, "You found it and sent me a copy."
"Are you still thinking about that?" Mother An laughed at him. "It's been so many years, and the child didn't come back then. Even if he beat you back then, you should be more generous."
The corner of An Mingyu's mouth twitched: "No." He paused for a few seconds, "Mom, happy National Day."
Speaking of which, Mother An also knew his character, so she didn't ask again: "Okay, you can help your father take care of things in the scenic spot, and pay attention to your safety outside."
"Okay." An Mingyu lowered her eyes.
After hanging up the phone, he returned to the ward, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Cheng Yue turning over, almost falling to the ground.
An Mingyu strode over to stop him with her leg.
With such a collision, Cheng Yue's eyelids trembled a few times, and he woke up: "Grandpa..."
"It's me, not your grandfather." An Mingyu smiled, "The operation was a success, the tumor was removed, and it's fine to take care of it after waking up. The doctor said there's nothing serious."
Cheng Yue stood up abruptly: "Really?"
After he finished speaking, he passed An Mingyu and saw the old man lying on the hospital bed. The ventilator had been withdrawn, and the electrocardiogram was stable.
Cheng Yuexuan's heart finally let go all night, he walked over and touched the back of Grandpa Cheng's hand cautiously: "Grandpa..."
"Hello, are you calling for errands?" Someone came in with two lunch boxes at the door and asked.
Cheng Yue opened his mouth: "I didn't..."
"I called." An Mingyu took the things over, "It's hard work."
"Hey, it's not hard, it's not hard, you eat slowly."
"Go brush your teeth and come have breakfast." He handed Cheng Yue a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste from the bag.
"Oh." Cheng Yue was a little embarrassed, "Thank you."
The two of them used the same toothpaste, and Cheng Yue could feel that their breath had the same taste when they got close, the refreshing mint aroma.
He opened the lunch box, and there was a bowl of topping noodles inside, and the side dishes took up more than half of the bowl, which was ample.
An Mingyu handed him over: "I don't know what flavor you like, I bought two different ones, which one do you want?"
Cheng Yue's bowl is sauced beef with eggplant. He looks at An Mingyu's bowl. Tomato eggs are his favorite.
"No, I'll just eat this." He shook his head, how could he have the nerve to ask for a different flavor of the rice the other party bought.
His little thoughts were all written on his face, An Mingyu smiled lightly, and took the bowl in his hand: "Eat mine."
Cheng Yue was stunned: "I..."
"I like something a little stronger."
"Oh."
After the meal, Grandpa Cheng hadn't woken up yet. The doctor said it was normal and he would definitely wake up a few nights before, so Cheng Yue was relieved.
An Mingyu went out to answer another phone call, and came back to tell him, "I have something to do, I have to go first."
Cheng Yue remembered what he said on the train before: "Is it a family project?"
"Yes." An Mingyu nodded, "I should be able to finish my work this afternoon, if you have anything to do, just call me, Teacher Cheng."
"it is good."
An Mingyu turned and left.
After a few seconds, he came back again and knocked on the door frame a few times.
Cheng Yue looked up.
"You can call me if you have nothing."
Cheng Yue: "..."
An Mingyu raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
"Okay." He rolled his eyes.
At 04:30 in the afternoon, Grandpa Cheng finally woke up.
Cheng Yue was overjoyed, but there was nothing he could do to help. The nurse came and pulled out the needle, and then checked the old man, so he had time to talk to Grandpa Cheng.
Before chatting for a few words, Cheng Yue received a message on his phone.
[An unread message. 】
He thought it was from An Mingyu, but when he opened it, he found it was Zhang Tingting.
[Zhang Tingting: Xiaoyue, Happy National Day, I send you warm blessings! [waving the red flag]]
[Cheng Yue: Thank you, senior. 】
[Zhang Tingting: How is it?are you home yet? 】
[Cheng Yue: Well, we're here. 】
[Zhang Tingting: I won’t be going back to City Z for the National Day this year. I’ll go to City S with my roommates and bring gifts for Xiaoyue when I come back~]
Cheng Yue was in a good mood now and smiled.
[Cheng Yue: Okay, senior sister, is there anything you want to eat?I'll bring you back to school. 】
[Zhang Tingting: No need, how is grandpa's condition?Is it getting better? 】
Cheng Yue looked up at Grandpa Cheng whose complexion had returned to rosy on the bed.
[Cheng Yue: Much better. 】
[Zhang Tingting: That's good, I heard that your bursary has also passed the preliminary review, everything will be fine!Come on Xiaoyue. [Cats compare hearts]]
[Cheng Yue: Alright, I will continue to work hard, sister, happy holiday. 】
【Zhang Tingting: [Waves]】
After closing the chat box, Cheng Yue suddenly remembered that he had completely forgotten about Zhang Tingting when the incident happened yesterday.
At that time, he was anxious to find someone to turn to, and the first name that came to his mind was Aunt Li, and the second name that popped into his mind was An Mingyu.
But before that, throughout high school, Zhang Tingting was the only person who would sit down and listen to him carefully, and she was also the first person he would think of asking for help when he couldn't hold on.
Cheng Yue held the phone for a few seconds.
The scene of the counseling room in high school and her listening quietly has been a bit blurred in my memory since I don't know when.
"More and more..."
Grandpa Cheng's shout woke him up.
Cheng Yue leaned over: "Grandpa, what's the matter, what's wrong?"
"Yueyue...my Yueyue..." Grandpa Cheng raised his hand, and Cheng Yue lowered his head to let him touch his cheek.
"I'm here, I'm here, Grandpa."
He lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the cotton ball on the back of his grandfather's hand, and he suddenly felt a little emotional.
A few days before the start of school, he still regarded An Mingyu as an opponent for Zhang Tingting, saw his always indifferent and sharp eyes, and thought that he would be as arrogant and indifferent as those children from rich families who were full of stars.
I didn't expect him to be such a gentle person.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the gentlest boy he has ever met.
Cheng Yue raised the corners of his lips, took a photo of himself and his grandfather, and sent it to An Mingyu.
[Cheng Yue: Grandpa woke up. [picture]】
There was an almost immediate response there.
[An Mingyu: Congratulations. 】
【An Mingyu: I'm almost done. 】
Cheng Yue stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
[Cheng Yue: Do you have time at night? 】
[An Mingyu: Yes. 】
……
He still hasn't said what it is.
[Cheng Yue: I want to treat you to dinner, come to my house, is that okay? 】
[An Mingyu: Sure, send me the address, and I'll be there later. 】
Cheng Yue was taken aback.
It takes time for him to buy vegetables and cook. He wants to show off his cooking skills and give An Mingyu a little surprise.
[Cheng Yue: No, around six o'clock. 】
[Cheng Yue: [location], here, I will pick you up at the door when the time comes. 】
【An Mingyu: Okay, I'll be there at six o'clock. 】
