Chapter 258 The Darkness Before Dawn
It was already late, so He Shu simply didn't go back to school but went to the hospital.
My aunt's bed was half-rocking and she was leaning there, holding the remote control in her left hand, watching TV.
My aunt was knitting nearby, occasionally looking up to see how much medicine my aunt had left.
Seeing He Shu coming in, my aunt quickly put down the knitting needles in her hand and said, "You come here again, why don't you wear a hat? Aren't you cold?"
My aunt reached out and touched He Shu's ear. Feeling it was cold, she covered it for a while.
Qi Xue sat there and rolled her eyes: "Sister-in-law, you spoil the child too much. He is not cold at all. If he doesn't know to wear a hat when he is cold, isn't that stupid?"
My aunt said with a smile, "Is that spoiling the child just because I cover his ears? I also take care of your shit and urine, why don't you say that I spoil you too."
Qi Xue laughed without blushing: "You can spoil me, when you are old, I can also serve you, can this kid do it?"
My aunt walked over and pretended to hit her, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she pinched Qi Xue's face and said, "You're getting more and more unreasonable. Do you act like an aunt?"
He Shu knew that his aunt was joking, so he walked over and looked at her shoulder.
"Auntie, does it still hurt now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. I'll be able to beat you up in a few days."
Judging from her spirit, He Shu thought that the pain was really gone.
Pulling a stool to sit beside the bed, the aunt immediately took a banana and gave it to He Shu: "Your aunt has become picky about eating bananas recently. He Shu, you eat it. If you leave it any longer, it will become soft."
He Shu took the banana, peeled it, and before he could take a bite, his aunt stretched out her mouth towards him: "Let me take a bite."
"You want to piss me off to death? Why are you biting someone else's? I just gave it to you but you refused it. Don't eat Xiaoshu's. I'll give you another one."
"No, I have to eat his. After all, I'm his aunt." Qi Xue immediately took a big bite and was very satisfied.
He Shu felt that his aunt was in a particularly good mood today: "Aunt, what are you so happy about?"
"Hehe, you little brat, Director Zhou just called and praised you."
So that's how it was. He Shu smiled and said nothing. He handed the banana over again and fed most of it to his aunt. He ate the rest in one bite.
Seeing He Shu like this, a hint of tenderness flashed in Qi Xue's eyes.
"Go back to school later. I don't have anything to do. When I can go out in a few days, I will go home and take care of myself."
"I have nothing to do . I'm here tonight."
He Shu looked at his aunt and said, "Aunt, go home and have a good rest at night. I will accompany my aunt tonight."
"How can you do that? You have school tomorrow and you can't sleep well here."
My aunt felt sorry for He Shu. Although there were sofas and beds in the single room, how could he sleep well looking at the patient?
"It's okay, auntie. You haven't had enough rest recently. I'll just watch it all night."
Qi Xue also advised: "Sister-in-law, please go back. Let my eldest nephew stay with me tonight. I want to drink soy milk tomorrow morning. Can you help me squeeze some fresh soy milk?"
My aunt rolled her eyes and glanced at Qi Xue: "Why drink soy milk? Your injury hasn't healed yet. I'll go back and make some soup for you and bring it to you tomorrow morning."
My aunt packed up her things and called Xiao Ding to pick her up. She repeatedly told Qi Xue not to move, and told He Shu that there was a nurse outside and to call her in if anything happened.
He Shu agreed, waited for Xiao Ding to come over, and sent his aunt out.
After coming back, Qi Xue stopped watching TV and asked He Shu what he talked about with Ma Dao.
He Shu simply told his aunt about his conversation with Ma Dao.
"Are you really going to help scatter his ashes?"
"If it's possible, it's not a big deal."
He Shu just felt that Ma Dao was also a complicated person, but they were from two different worlds, so there was no need to dig deep into the past.
He will be punished for his sins, and when he dies and turns into ashes, all his sins will be gone.
Qi Xue didn't say no and turned the topic back to He Shu's studies and love life.
"The little girl is fine. Your grandpa and aunt are very satisfied with her. Get along well with her. It's actually very difficult for a person to love only one person for a lifetime. We must remember that when two people are together, it's not just about love, but also about responsibility."
"Auntie knows it's too early to say this at your age, but I hope you can remain consistent."
He Shu nodded seriously: "Aunt, I will. "
Qi Xue smiled with satisfaction, asked He Shu to help her make the bed flat, then she lay down and soon fell asleep.
He Shu helped his aunt watch over the medicine. They finished administering all the medicine at around 10 o'clock in the evening. Seeing that his aunt was still asleep, he did not lie down on the bed. Instead, he sat on a stool and fell asleep at the foot of his aunt's bed.
On the other side, Zhou Zhensheng almost stayed awake all night.
He personally talked with Ma Dao until late at night, and Ma Dao really did not hold back and told him everything.
The audio and the paper confession with Ma Dao's fingerprints were immediately sealed by Zhou Zhensheng after repeated confirmation.
"Will you be willing to testify in court then?"
Ma Dao smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled: "I don't want to. If you let me appear in court, I will say that these were forced out of me by you."
Zhou Zhensheng was not anxious: "If you have any requests, you can tell me."
"I'm a dying man, what else can I ask for?" Ma Dao shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhensheng didn't ask any more questions or force him. He had someone bring a sumptuous midnight snack and turned around to take the things and left.
After returning to the office, Zhou Zhensheng sat alone for a long time.
He looked out the window. It was already late at night, and the darkness before dawn was the most unbearable.
But Zhou Zhensheng knew very well that as long as he could hold on, he would win.
Picking up the phone, regardless of the time, Zhou Zhensheng dialed a number and issued a secret investigation mission...
On January 18th, winter vacation begins.
Before Xia Miao returned to Danhe, she bought a fruit basket and gifts and asked He Shu to take her to the hospital to visit her aunt.
The aunt asked Xia Miao to sit beside the bed, took her hand, drove He Shu out of the ward, and talked a lot to Xia Miao.
He Shu waited in the corridor outside for almost half an hour before Xia Miao called him in.
After entering, the two were mysterious again, but fortunately He Shu was not a curious person.
On the way to the airport after leaving the hospital, Xia Miao kept stealing glances at He Shu: "Aren't you curious about what I said to my aunt?"
"curious."
"I'm curious, why don't you ask me?"
"If I ask you, will you tell me?"
Xia Miao covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Of course not, this is a secret between me and my aunt."
He Shu shook his head helplessly, thinking that Xia Miao was quite capable. Now she had a very good relationship with her grandfather's family.
After sending Xia Miao to the airport, there was still some time before boarding, so the two found a place to sit, holding hands but not saying much.
"You won't be able to see me until school starts. He Shu, will you miss me?"
"Yeah." He Shu stretched out his arms and took Xia Miao into his arms: "If I miss you, I'll call you or video chat with you."
Xia Miao was very satisfied after hearing this. She hugged He Shu's waist and lay in his arms: "What should I do? I start to miss you before we even separated."
Separation is the most helpless thing, especially for lovers who are in love.
How I wish we could be together every moment.
But when you really become a family in the future, eating and living together every day, perhaps you will gradually begin to yearn for your own freedom again.
However, this feeling at this moment is very fascinating.
When they are about to part, time always passes especially fast. When the airport announcement sounded, Xia Miao reluctantly gave He Shu a kiss on the cheek.
He Shu didn't leave the airport until Xia Miao's plane took off.
