Let’s go home!

Dr. Zhao couldn't accept the sight of Wen Songnian keeping his head down and remaining silent.

Dr. Zhao and Wen Songnian met because of Ji Wenshu's illness. The two have always kept in touch. Dr. Zhao gradually became the only good friend that Wen Songnian could confide in. He knew too well the pain in Wen Songnian's heart.

Dr. Zhao knew very well how difficult it was for Wen Songnian. His beloved wife passed away, and he could do nothing. Wen Songnian had experienced that feeling of powerlessness of having to fight against God once, so why did he have to experience it a second time?

Doctor Zhao said, "Old Wen, don't be sad. Based on the current physical examination reports, we can't confirm that Wen Yu has been diagnosed. There is still a chance that it may be a misdiagnosis. Besides, it is still in the early stages and the symptoms are not very obvious. It won't have a big impact on your life."

When Wen Songnian heard what Dr. Zhao said, he raised his head, his eyes already filled with stars. He hoped it was a misdiagnosis.

As a father, he owed a lot to his son. He lost his beloved wife so early and had no expectations for his life and future. His only hope was that Wen Yu would be well and healthy.

But he couldn't even guarantee this, and he couldn't even take the blame for Wen Yu. He felt really bitter and was about to collapse.

Wen Songnian grabbed Dr. Zhao's hand and said, "What should we do now? How can we confirm whether it's a misdiagnosis? He hasn't been unusual these days. I've lived with him for a few days, and everything is normal. It must be a misdiagnosis, right?"

Wen Songnian became more and more agitated. He could only seek some comfort by constantly brainwashing himself. Even if it was all fake in the end, he still wanted the peace of mind of this moment.

Doctor Zhao looked at Wen Songnian, who had a melancholy look on his face. He tried to persuade him to calm down in an indescribable way. He had seen Wen Songnian like this once a few years ago, and this time was even more difficult to accept than the last time.

For ordinary people, it would be difficult to recover after experiencing a painful event in life, but Wen Songnian managed to get through it.

It was just because he promised Ji Wenshu that he would live well, and would not waste his life even if he was unhappy.

But now even his only support is about to crush him. How can Wen Songnian not complain to God?

God had taken his beloved wife away from him, and now...

Suddenly, Wen Songnian's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. Wen Yu just used a little force to push the half-closed door open, but unexpectedly it still made a loud noise.

Wen Songnian and Dr. Zhao looked towards the door at the same time, looking at Wen Yu, both of them were shocked and at a loss.

Wen Yu opened the door without saying a word. He didn't know how he pushed the door open. When he thought back on it later, it was as if the door was opened by some unknown force.

Perhaps he knew that all the answers were in there, and he couldn't wait and didn't want to miss it. He was looking for it urgently and didn't want to be kept in the dark again. Even if it would mean eternal damnation, he still wanted to know.

Because of Wen Yu's sudden appearance, Wen Songnian and Dr. Zhao were both panicked. They didn't do anything at first, but their brains were spinning rapidly, imagining countless ways to cover up.

But in the end, it was too late. Wen Songnian still knew something about Wen Yu.

He knew that no matter how he made excuses, Wen Yu would not believe him. Wen Yu was much smarter than he thought.

No father would not want his children to be smarter, but Wen Songnian actually hopes that his son can live a simpler life, not have too many things in his mind, and preferably forget all his worries quickly.

But Wen Yu is never that kind of person. He loves himself, but he loves the people around him even more.

I don’t know how many times time has passed, but in that seemingly frozen picture, Wen Songnian was the first to move.

Wen Songnian stood up directly, walked to Wen Yu, patted his shoulder, and wanted to call back his lost soul.

Then Wen Yu turned his head and looked at Wen Songnian. The father and son looked at each other and said nothing, but it seemed as if they had said everything. There was no need for further words, and both sides understood.

Wen Songnian greeted Dr. Zhao, who nodded.

Wen Songnian tried hard to calm himself down. He also wanted to smile at Wen Yu, but he couldn't. So he simply took his hand and said something to him beside him.

"Let's go home!"

Wen Yu did not stand still. After hearing Wen Songnian's words, he knew clearly that Wen Songnian was even more confused than him.

Wen Yu let his father hold his hand and walk out of the hospital, leaving this place that always brings fear and sadness.

Wen Yu will always remember that Wen Songnian's palms were very warm that day. Even though he was still afraid, he still wanted to give his son more sense of security. This was what he had to do as a father, but before that, he had never held his son's hand properly.

There was a moment when Wen Songnian really regretted giving Wen Yu life but not being able to give him a happy future.

He believed that he had never been a competent father. He rarely spent time with Wen Yu, never heard him speak his true feelings, never truly understood his heart, and never knew what he needed.

Wen Songnian wished that all the impending pain and torture would be transferred to him. If possible, he would be willing to exchange the rest of his life for a complete life for Wen Yu.

Wen Yu followed Wen Songnian into the car, and even in the car, he did not let go of his hand.

We were silent all the way, not because I didn't want to talk, but because I wasn't ready to tell him the cruel truth.

Wen Yu looked at the sky outside the window and thought about more than an hour ago when he had just arrived at the hospital. The sky was still blue at that time.

How come the sky changed in just a short while? Dark clouds came from nowhere and blocked the sun. The light shining on the ground became gloomy and covered people's hearts with an invisible and intangible fog.

As expected, bad weather would aggravate bad mood. Wen Yu felt extremely irritated, but appeared unusually calm on the surface.

He may have guessed something and was slowly persuading himself to accept it. Even if the situation got worse, it couldn't be any worse. It would just end sooner.

Isn't it a kind of relief?

The car drove to a street they were all familiar with and finally stopped on the side of the road. Wen Songnian asked the driver to drive away.

Wen Songnian wanted to accompany Wen Yu on this journey. He remembered that it seemed that many years had passed since they last walked home together.

At that time, Ji Wenshu was still alive. Wen Songnian would ask the driver to park the car on the side of the road after get off work every day. He would appear on this narrow and bustling sidewalk with a briefcase.

As if she had calculated the time perfectly, she would always run into Ji Wenshu holding Wen Yu's hand at the roadside vegetable market.

Wen Songnian and Wen Yu walked side by side on this street full of countless memories. They both looked up and looked forward. Even though the road ahead was dim and they could only see the top of the slope getting closer and closer, they knew in their hearts that their home was over there.

When they passed by the place that existed in their memories, Wen Songnian said calmly, "Xiao Yu, do you still remember this place?"

Wen Yu followed Wen Songnian's gaze and replied, "I remember."

Just three words, but Wen Songnian was very happy to hear him say this.

Wen Songnian continued, "At that time, your mother always stood by the roadside and waved to me. Even though she was carrying a lot of vegetables, she still held your hand with a smile on her face, as if I could see the home we longed for as soon as I looked up."

This was the first time that Wen Songnian took the initiative to mention Ji Wenshu in front of Wen Yu after Ji Wenshu's death. No matter where he went, he seemed to be able to see her, but her figure was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, and when he opened his eyes again, she disappeared with the wind.

Wen Yu paused, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow, he just moved the corners of his lips lightly and gently.

Wen Yu said: "Actually, Mom didn't know when you passed by there. She just wanted to wait for you there and walk a little further with you."

Wen Yu told Wen Songnian something that Ji Wenshu had never told him. At that time, every time Ji Wenshu picked him up from school, she would spend a long time shopping in the vegetable markets and small shops on both sides of the street. Even if she didn't want to buy anything, she still wanted to wait for him.

Wen Yu once asked Ji Wenshu, "Mom, why do we have to wait for Dad here every day? It's not like he doesn't know the way home."

Wen Yu still remembers that Ji Wenshu smiled, touched his head, and said in a very gentle tone: "Baby, because we are happier when we wait for Dad to go home together than when he goes alone."

Wen Yu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time, but he did see a happy smile on Wen Songnian's face every day when he saw Ji Wenshu waving to him.

Maybe he was still worrying about work in the last second, but the next second he saw his wife and son waiting for him to get off work, and all his worries disappeared, only rare happiness.

Later, Ji Wenshu left, and Wen Yu finally understood the deeper meaning behind that sentence.

Every time Wen Yu returned home after that, he was alone. No one held his hand, and no one walked the same distance with him. Only his thin and lonely figure was stretched longer and longer by the sun.

Only then did he truly understand that happiness was not having someone waiting for him, but meeting the person he wanted to see most when he was upset. Even if they didn't say anything, just a smile would make him satisfied.

Obviously, Ji Wenshu didn't have to stand here waiting for Wen Songnian every day. Wen Songnian could see Ji Wenshu when he went home, but the road they walked home together while waiting for him to get off work was the happiest road they had ever walked.

When Wen Songnian heard Wen Yu's words, his nose felt sore and bitterness surged in his heart. How could he not know?

He also deliberately hid his figure in a place where Ji Wenshu could not see him, waiting for her to pass by the street holding Wen Yu's hand. Then, when he saw her standing on the roadside from a distance, he smiled and waved, ran over, helped her carry the bag, and listened to her talk about what happened every day.

Even though every day is the same, those scenes exist in my mind and I don’t want to forget them, because every frame is an extremely precious memory. From then on, there will never be such an ordinary and memorable little thing again.
