Chapter 66

Li Wenyu booked a ticket back to city A. The weather was good that day. It had just rained two days ago, so it was not too hot, but the sun was shining brightly.

He didn't have much to take with him, and the suitcase was mostly empty. The ginkgo tree downstairs is intertwined with green and yellow, and many patches of blue sky are separated between the branches and leaves, but when it falls under the feet, only the mottled tree shadows are left.

Li Wenyu remembered that the weather was almost like this when he first arrived in City B, but it was spring and the wind was not very warm.

The entrance to the alley is very narrow, and you can see pedestrians on the street after turning the corner. A black car is blocking the intersection, and there are puddles left on the uneven ground from yesterday's rain. Li Wenyu walked around for a moment, and when he looked up again and saw Pei Xin's face, they were only a few steps apart.

Under the sun, Pei Xin looked better than last time. He stood lazily against the car, his dark black eyes met Li Wenyu's gaze casually, and he tilted his head: "Get in the car."

Li Wenyu ignored him. , keep going forward.

Pei Xin grabbed his wrist holding the suitcase, and his tone was casual but threatening: "There are many people here, don't make me angry. There is a driver over there, and I won't do anything to you."

Li Wenyu struggled in vain He paused twice and glanced at the back of the car. There was a young man standing there. When the man saw Li Wenyu looking over, he hurriedly went over to take the suitcase from Li Wenyu's hand. Li Wenyu pursed his lips and did not let go. The young man explained nervously: "I am Mr. Pei, the driver. My name is Xiao Zhong. I will put your luggage in the trunk for you."

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Wenyu with a tone of voice. Qingpiaopiao: "Don't embarrass anyone."

Li Wenyu gritted his teeth and slowly let go of his hand. Xiao Zhong immediately took the suitcase and opened the back seat door for him.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and the leather seats felt cold to the touch. Li Wenyu leaned against the car door and looked at the gray sky outside through the brown glass window.

Pei Xin frowned and remained silent, and the car was quiet all the way.

The station is only ten minutes away from here. After parking, Xiao Zhong originally wanted to help Li Wenyu carry his luggage into the station. Li Wenyu quickly refused: "I can come by myself. I have troubled you just now."

Xiao Zhong went again. Looking at Pei Xin's face, he smiled and let go when he saw that Pei Xin had no reaction. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Li Wenyu thanked him again before pulling him away. The suitcase is gone.

Pei Xin walked on his left, checked in and got on the bus together, and his seat was next to Li Wenyu.

Li Wenyu frowned and looked at him, but still said nothing.

Pei Xin watched him put the suitcase in place and said slowly: "You have been here for five years and you only took away these few things?"

Li Wenyu said succinctly: "Throw away whatever needs to be thrown away."

Pei Xin hummed: "That's fine. You're in such a hurry, are you inviting friends to dinner?"

Li Wenyu didn't bother to answer, and closed his eyes against the car window.

It was a three-hour drive and it was already dark outside when we arrived at the station.

City A has changed a lot in recent years. This station is newly built and Li Wenyu has never been there before. After coming out of the station, there was a crowd of people. He looked up to see the exit sign, but was pulled out by Pei Xin in a familiar manner.

The more crowded the place, the harder it was for Li Wenyu to resist. Pei Xin's car was waiting at the door, and Li Wenyu was pushed directly into it.

Pei Xin got on the bus from the other side and asked naturally: "Go to see grandma first or go home first?"

Li Wenyu's lips were straight and he suppressed his anger: "Which hospital is grandma in?"

Pei Xin did not answer, but the driver He started the car and finally parked in front of a private hospital.

The hospital was very large, and Li Wenyu followed Pei Xin into the elevator.

Pei Xin pressed the floor button and said in a very light and relaxed voice: "Grandma's condition is relatively stable recently, but her heart problem is the worst thing to be irritated. If she sees you in a good mood, your health may get better quickly."

Li Wenyu slowed down He asked in a tone of voice: "Do you come here often?"

"Occasionally."

Li Wenyu said no more, looking at the closed silver elevator door in front of him, clenching his hands tightly, he was a little eager and nervous.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor, the corridor was very quiet, and the smell of disinfectant was very weak. Li Wenyu walked slowly, then suddenly stopped and said hesitantly: "I won't irritate grandma if I go in, right?"

Pei Xin turned around to look at him, a little happy: "What are you thinking about? Let's talk to each other later." Just shed tears."

Li Wenyu's face turned a little pale. He was afraid that he would not be able to say anything.

Pei Xin squeezed his hand while he was dazed, and pushed open the door of the ward directly: "Go in."

The light inside was not very bright, with warm tones. It should be to take care of the patients and rest. The gray-haired old man was lying on the bed. On the bed, he raised his head when he heard the sound of the door opening. The old man's eyes were drowsy. At that moment, something flickered as if something had been touched: "...Xiao Yu?"

Li Wenyu heard the sound, and the soles of his feet felt like lead. She stopped at the door, her throat was sore and sore, and she called out from a distance: "...Grandma."

Grandma's hair was almost completely white, her forehead was covered with silver threads, her forehead and eyes were heavily wrinkled, and her mouth was open and closed. It took a long while before he made a sound: "You... you're back, you finally came back to see me."

Li Wenyu stared blankly with sore eyes. He didn't make a sound for a long time, but suddenly there was a warm touch on his hand. . Pei Xin was not very strong and led him in. His movements were very gentle, and grandma was not surprised to see him.

Li Wenyu was led away, his eyes vaguely tracing the traces of time that had gradually deepened on grandma's face over the past five years, and his eyes were red: "Grandma, I...are back."

Grandma was eager to sit up, Li Wenyu She immediately reached out to help him and touched the old man's thin back. Her eyes were sore: "I'm sorry, grandma."

"It's good to come back. As long as you want to come back." Grandma looked up at Li Wenyu's face and held his hand tightly. There were faint traces of tears on his face, and he kept nodding his head, "I have grown up, and I have grown taller. I have suffered outside."

Li Wenyu choked with sobs and was speechless.

Pei Xin patted his back with his hand and said softly: "I'll go out first, and you talk to grandma."

Pei Xin walked out of the ward and closed the door. After the click of the door closing, it became even quieter inside.

Grandma raised her hand tremblingly to touch Li Wenyu's face. He quickly sat down and said with a trembling voice: "I, I am willing to come back. I have always been willing to come back."

Grandma forced a smile with tearful eyes. , the deep and shallow wrinkles on his face were wet with tears, like winding mountain roads: "You don't want to see your uncle, and you don't like to stay at home, I know that. If you leave, I'm just afraid that something will happen to you. It was a hard life outside and you were bullied. Now you are back well. I'm happy."

Li Wenyu blinked, but still couldn't hold back the tears, so he had to lower his face to cover it up: "I'm not bullied, I'm fine, don't. Worry about me."

Grandma wiped away her tears and responded several times: "Don't leave when you come back. Stay with grandma. Grandma doesn't have many more years to live..."

Li Wenyu's eyes were red and his voice was dry. He said: "No, I will always be with grandma from now on, and grandma will always be with me."

Grandma was silent, her dry hand slowly rubbed the back of his hand, and after a long while she said with a smile: "Okay, Okay."

She looked at Li Wenyu's face that was no longer young and ignorant, and choked up again: "Where have you been in the past few years? Where did you go to college? Do you think you left the money to me? What are you doing, suffering outside alone..."

Li Wenyu was afraid that her throat would feel uncomfortable when she spoke, so he quickly poured her a cup of hot water and smiled deliberately: "I went to college in city B, and then I found a job, and I had enough money."

Grandma did not answer . , nodding with tears and staring at Li Wenyu, as if he couldn't get enough. After a long while, he wiped his tears again and sighed: "You have suffered, have you seen your aunt when you came back? In the past few years, She is also worried about you."

Li Wenyu paused, lowered his head and shook his head: "Not yet, it's not too late."

Grandma patted his hand reassuringly and smiled hard: "Your aunt will come over tomorrow, and you can have a good time with her. Let’s chat.”

Li Wenyu responded.

Grandma was not in good spirits, and she soon became sleepy after talking so much.

After she fell asleep, Li Wenyu sat and watched for a while. When he was about to get up and leave, he slowly noticed the environment of the ward.

This is a single room with a sofa and a TV on the left hand side. On the right side is a large floor-to-ceiling window, with thick curtains hanging down, tightly blocking the messy light outside.

Li Wenyu's face froze. He knew that Li Teng did not have the financial conditions to allow his grandma to live here. Only one person could do such a thing.

He walked quietly toward the door and opened the ward door. The lights in the corridor were brighter than those in the ward, casting a deep and shallow light shadow.

Pei Xin sat on the bench and looked over at him.

Li Wenyu closed the door and walked over slowly, sitting next to him.

The two of them were a shoulder apart. Li Wenyu lowered his eyelashes and did not look at him. His voice was very soft: "Is your injury healed?"

Pei Xin leaned his back against the wall, his eyebrows were deep, and he stared at him carefully. Side face: "It's almost done. Is grandma sleeping?"

"Sleeping," Li Wenyu's voice was still a little muffled. After he realized it, he pursed his lips and asked hesitantly, "You arranged the ward for grandma." "Yes?"

Pei Xin answered his question, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Li Wenyu didn't move, looked up at him, paused for two seconds and then said, "I want to see grandma. "Medical records

?" Pei Xin raised his eyebrows lightly, "Let's go downstairs first."

They returned to the first floor and sat on the sofa in the hall. A nurse brought a thick stack of medical records. and other various documents.

Li Wenyu took it and looked at it. The year after he left, my grandma had another heart attack. She had an operation and was hospitalized for a long time. She has been taking medicine ever since. Last year, my health became worse and worse, and I began to be hospitalized for a long time.

Li Wenyu's eyelashes trembled and he continued to scroll down. He came to a long payment list. The number at the bottom made him slightly widen his eyes.

He looked up at the details. A single ward cost RMB 1,800 a day, as well as various examinations and medicines, which added up to nearly RMB 80,000 a month. If Pei Xin had paid all the medical and surgical fees in the past few years, it might have been close to seven figures.

Li Wenyu's hand trembled and he looked up at Pei Xin: "My aunt, have you ever seen these?"

Pei Xin sat opposite and lowered his head slightly while replying to the text message. He raised his eyes when he heard the voice: "I don't know."

This question There is an answer, and Li Wenyu actually knew it without asking.

He knew something was wrong from the moment he saw the ward, let alone Li Teng.

He pinched his palms unconsciously, put the thick stack of medical records away again, stood up very slowly and said, "Let's go."
