Chapter 171 Break Up
The next morning, my aunt brought He Shu a brand new long down jacket and wrapped him up tightly.
He was also given a mask and a hat to cover the wounds on his face.
Although my grandfather and uncle didn't come, they sent a car to pick them up.
When getting in the car, godfather Zhao Qishui suddenly remembered that Xia Miao might come today.
He quickly took out his cell phone: "He Shu, why don't you call Xia Miao? She said she would come to the hospital today. Don't let her come to the hospital empty-handed."
He Shu took the phone and called, but the number was turned off: "Maybe he's already on the plane, godfather. Call back when you get home."
My aunt smiled and said, "Tell your girlfriend to come directly to my house and let me meet her."
He Shu nodded. He couldn't hide from Xia Miao all the time. It was perfect that he should have this opportunity to have a good talk with Xia Miao.
When I got home, my grandfather and Grandpa Dong were at home, and there was a strange aunt busy in the kitchen.
Seeing them come back, grandpa first welcomed Zhao Qishui and introduced Zhao Qishui to Grandpa Dong.
The strange aunt hurried over and helped the driver and my aunt take He Shu's things into the room. It turned out to be the nanny.
My aunt has been in the hospital these days. She was worried about the old man being alone at home, so she hired a nanny to take care of his life.
Grandpa Dong pulled He Shu in front of him, pulled off his mask, looked at He Shu's face, and made a clicking sound.
"There aren't many kids in our compound who have been beaten up like this. Xiaoshu, your fighting ability is not that good."
"Wait for your aunt to come back and let her teach you. Your aunt's child has been good at fighting since he was young..."
Grandpa Dong mentioned his aunt, and He Shu also missed her a little. He wondered what she was busy with now and how long it would take to complete the task.
He Shu was worried that when his aunt came back, she would have to visit him in prison.
"Okay, we just got home, let's go upstairs and rest."
Grandpa didn't want Old Man Dong to talk nonsense to his eldest grandson, so he sent He Shu upstairs and left Zhao Qishui to talk with him.
He Shu nodded, went upstairs to his room, and found that the room had been rearranged.
I got a new computer desk and a brand new desktop computer.
The bed was also changed, the wall was covered with light blue wallpaper, and two rows of bookshelves were built...
When my aunt walked to the door, she saw He Shu looking at the new room and said with a smile, "Do you like this layout? Is there anything missing? I'll add it for you ."
"Aunt, there's nothing missing. The original one is good enough."
"It's fine to stay here for a night occasionally. You can stay at home more often in the future. Come back during holidays. We won't go back to Danhe..."
Not going back to Danhe... He Shu shook his head. Mom is still there, how can he not go back?
My aunt asked him to rest for a while and go downstairs for lunch, and then she helped him close the door.
He Shu took out his cell phone and sent his grandfather's address to Xia Miao.
About ten minutes later, Xia Miao called.
"He Shu, I'm in Dadu now. I saw the message you sent. Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
"Well, the address is my grandfather's house. If you find it inconvenient, I'll meet you near the school."
Xia Miao quickly said, "It's convenient. You don't have to come out. It's quite cold outside. I'll take a taxi directly and call you when I get there."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Miao would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous, as she was going to meet He Shu's relatives so soon.
But something happened to He Shu, and we don’t know how he is now. We can’t tell anything just by listening to his voice.
How can I care about whether I am embarrassed or not?
After stopping a car, Xia Miao gave the address. When the driver heard it, he couldn't help but look at Xia Miao a few more times.
When they arrived at the gate of the compound, the taxi couldn't enter. Xia Miao paid the fare, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. It was too expensive to get from the airport to here.
After the taxi left, Xia Miao, dragging a large suitcase, looked at the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the compound and was somewhat hesitant to go in.
She called He Shu, who asked her to wait in the reception room for a while.
Xia Miao looked inside and saw that the reception room was on the inner side, so she dragged the big box over there, and the guard at the door did not stop her.
After a few minutes, He Shu ran out fully armed, called Xia Miao, helped her carry the box, and took her into the compound.
"He Shu, are you okay? Are you well?"
Xia Miao didn't have time to wonder how high class He Shu's grandfather's family lived in such a place. She became anxious when she saw that He Shu covered his face tightly and couldn't see anything.
He Shu shook his head gently: "It's all right."
Xia Miao felt that He Shu was a little cold, so she pursed her lips and reached out to hold He Shu's hand.
He Shu did not refuse, but he did not hold her hand back like he did before...
When I got home, my aunt was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard. When she saw how beautiful Xia Miao was, she was so happy that wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes.
"My aunt."
"Hello, aunt. My name is Xia Miao." Xia Miao called out half shyly and half nervously.
Zhu Yu looked at Xia Miao as if she was his own daughter-in-law, saying "good" repeatedly and looking at her constantly.
The more I looked at her, the more satisfied I felt. I felt that she was a perfect match for He Shu.
She pulled Xia Miao into the house, and He Shu carried the suitcase behind them. After entering the living room, the suitcase was taken away by the nanny and put away.
With the help of her aunt, Xia Miao greeted He Shu's grandfather and Grandpa Dong one by one.
Zhao Qishui became familiar with him, and Xia Miao relaxed a little when she saw Uncle Zhao was there too.
It was already time for lunch, but everyone was waiting for Xia Miao, so they didn't eat yet.
Now everyone was present and sat at the table. He Shu went back to change out of his cotton coat and hat, and took off his mask. Only then did Xia Miao see how horrible the look on He Shu's face was.
The face she loved most was almost unrecognizable.
Xia Miao was so shocked that she was speechless, but she also knew it was not appropriate to ask at the dinner table, so she could only endure her heartache.
After dinner, He Shu said he wanted to talk to Xia Miao. His aunt considerately prepared some fruit for them and asked He Shu to take Xia Miao back to her room.
After entering the house and closing the door, Xia Miao hugged He Shu and said, "What happened? Who beat you? Was it someone from the detention center?"
He Shu pulled Xia Miao off his body and stared at her for a while: "Xia Miao, let's break up."
He Shu had been preparing this sentence since he made the decision and calmed down.
Xia Miao was stunned: "Why?"
"You know I killed someone..."
"I know, Brother Xiaodong has already told me, but it was just an accident. You must be fine."
Xia Miao didn't want to break up. She suddenly understood what He Shu meant. Because she understood it, it was even more impossible for her to break up with He Shu.
"No, I killed two people. In addition to Zhang Qiang who was frightened to death by accident, I also stabbed someone to death with a toothbrush while I was in the detention center."
Everything that had been like a nightmare before was now stated so simply and clearly.
He Shu looked at the shocked Xia Miao and said, "I might end up in jail for a long time, so... let's break up."
