Chapter 31： insomnia (2/2)
At noon, He Yang received a message from Shen Xiuzhu.
He Yang got up, went back to his room and changed his clothes, then went out to pick up Shen Xiuzhu and accompany Shen Xiuzhu to the hospital for a routine checkup.
While Shen Xiuzhu was checking inside, He Yang was waiting outside.
He Yang came to the hall and leaned against the railing alone, watching the patients and doctors coming and going.
The hall is very quiet, everyone is talking in a low voice and will not disturb others.
Until there was movement from the emergency room, a crying female voice broke the calm—
”I don't believe it! Wake up! Wake up!”
”Didn't you promise to get married next month! Did you regret it?”
A young girl threw herself on the stretcher with red eyes, shaking the patient's arm tightly.
”You wake up! Believe it or not, I ran away with someone else and didn't marry you!”
The girl made a lot of noise, and the family members next to her quickly supported the girl's body.
A few nurses passed by the girl with regrets on their faces.
”Alas, her boyfriend died...”
”We've been together for four or five years, and we're about to get married, but it's gone. It's still a car accident...”
”If it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept it. This kind of thing happened before marriage...”
”After talking about it for four or five years, I feel broken when I think about it...”
The little nurse discussed in a low voice and walked past He Yang.
He Yang turned his back to the nurse and habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
However, he realized that he was in the hospital, and He Yang didn't light the fire, he just held the pack of cigarettes and was a little lost.
In the emergency room, the girl was crying hoarsely and completely collapsed.
Death is the cruelest separation in this world.
He Yang listened to the cry from the corridor, his face was still cold and unmoved.
It's like, never being emotionally affected by anything—
Even the death of the person beside the pillow.
He Yang stayed outside, a pair of dark eyes looking into the distance, it was dark and unclear.
Not long after, Shen Xiuzhu finished the inspection.
Shen Xiuzhu came to He Yang's side, and when he saw the cigarette in the man's hand, he was a little surprised: ”I thought you had quit smoking.”
When He Yang saw Shen Xiuzhu coming, he put the pack of cigarettes back into his pocket.
He Yang: ”I quit before.”
But recently it got infected again.
Standing aside, Shen Xiuzhu also noticed the movement in the emergency room.
Shen Xiuzhu said with some emotion: ”Death is too sudden...”
”Suddenly I thought of Xu Chengyan.” Shen Xiuzhu lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red, and he seemed a little guilty, ”Actually, that day, if I hadn't invited you to the houseboat with me, maybe things wouldn't have happened...”
”They are all dead.” He Yang said lightly, ”It has nothing to do with you.”
”He Yang.” Shen Xiuzhu suddenly leaned over and held the man's palm, ”I'm a little worried about you.”
He Yang pulled out his hand and just said, ”I'll take you back.”
He Yang turned around and went downstairs to leave first.
However, when sending Shen Xiuzhu back on the way, He Yang accompanied Shen Xiuzhu to a dessert shop.
The dessert shop was still the same as before, Shen Xiuzhu was thinking about it, and picked desserts with He Yang.
”You bought this for me before. I remember it was very unpalatable, but I didn't expect it to still be sold.”
”Where's the pineapple cake? Is it gone? It's a pity...”
”I haven't been back for several years, and the price has gone up so fast.”
Shen Xiuzhu walked around the store while chatting about the past.
But most of the time, it was Shen Xiuzhu who was talking, and He Yang listened quietly, seeming to be distracted, and only occasionally responded.
In the end, Shen Xiuzhu picked out a few small desserts to check out and came to the cashier.
The clerk took the opportunity to sell: ”There is a new product event recently, do you want to try the new flavor?”
He Yang heard this, and then said, ”What new product?”
The clerk quickly took out the dessert menu, ”It's the grape series, there are cakes, breads, biscuits and so on!”
He Yang looked at the menu, bought a cake, and said, ”Pack it separately.”
When Shen Xiuzhu next to him heard it, he was a little surprised: ”Don't you like sweets? Are you finally willing to try it?”
He Yang looked at the cake cabinet and said habitually, ”Xu Chengyan likes it.”
But as soon as he finished speaking, He Yang suddenly remembered that Xu Chengyan had told him last time that he never liked cakes.
”No.” He Yang was a little lost for a while, ”He doesn't seem to like cakes.”
He is not sure whether Xu Chengyan likes sweet food or not.
It's been so long, I can't remember a lot of things.
I just remember the smile in the peach blossom eyes of the young man when he brought the cake back for the first time—
Shining like starlight.
On Friday, He Yang went back to the old house.
The housekeeper came out to greet him. After seeing the man getting out of the car, he smiled and said, ”Young Master He came back early this time.”
He Yang responded casually and asked lightly, ”How is he?”
”Master has been in better condition recently, and occasionally he will be a little more awake.” The housekeeper sighed a little.
He Yang crossed the yard and walked towards the house.
The housekeeper followed, seeing that He Yang came alone this time, he asked, ”Mr. Xu didn't come?”
The housekeeper still didn't know about Xu Chengyan's death, so he said, ”Someone sent a potted plant over recently. I heard that it was a precious variety. Thinking that Mr. Xu would like it, he kept it.”
He Yang frowned when he heard the name, and said, ”He won't come.”
The housekeeper always remembered that Xu Chengyan liked to grow flowers, but thought that this time Xu Chengyan had something to do, so he didn't come, so he asked, ”Then Master He, do you want to bring the potted plants back to Mr. Xu?”
He Yang's face was cold and he frowned tightly.
Mr. Xu, Xu Chengyan...
Everyone had to mention the name in front of him.
He Yang was slightly unhappy, ”I don't bring it.”
He Yang: ”He is dead, and he will never come again.”
The housekeeper was stunned, and after a long time, he said in a low voice, ”Sorry.”
He Yang entered the house, Qiqi was still lying on the living room carpet to rest.
When Qiqi saw He Yang coming, he immediately got up and came over, turned around beside He Yang, and kept screaming.
It's just that Qiqi didn't see anyone he knew beside He Yang, so he rushed out and ran to the yard.
He Yang looked over and saw that Qiqi had already run to the side of the car.
Kiki was a little excited, and kept spinning around the car, then leaned on the window and looked in.
The housekeeper hurried over to pull Kiki back, but Qiqi was so strong that he quickly broke free and ran to the car again.
The big dog squatted obediently at the door of the car, his tail was wagging constantly behind him, and he stared at the door.
He Yang looked at the big dog, walked over, and said slowly, ”Don't wait.”
”Ow!” The big dog raised his head and barked.
He Yang: ”No one is in the car.”
The big dog tilted his head, unable to understand what the man said.
Just knowing that He Yang is here, the other master will also come back.
Kiki was stubborn and continued to squat on the ground—
Waiting for another master to appear.
