Grandma Lu is going to have surgery.
Yan Xi didn't dare to relax.
In order to be able to accompany him until the operation is over, Huo Xiao dealt with many things intensively in advance before he had some free time.
Every second of waiting for surgery was torture.
Fortunately, the operation was successful and Grandma Lu no longer has to suffer from illness.
But that night, Yan Xi fainted due to exhaustion from being tense all day.
After waking up, his face looked even worse.
Huo Xiao had to tell him the truth.
He thought Yan Xi would be very sad after hearing this, but he just smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's just right. I don't have to go to class every day. It's much more comfortable to lie down and recuperate every day."
Huo Xiao looked at him like this, and his heart felt like it was bitten by something, and it hurt terribly. It also felt like a needle was stuck in his throat, and breathing and swallowing were very uncomfortable, "Yan Xi..."
He wanted to say something but couldn't seem to find the right words.
The handsome young man looked haggard and helpless at the moment. Yan Xi reached out and grabbed his hand. "What are you doing? Do you want to cry? Don't cry and don't be afraid. I will come to find you in the next life. By then, I will choose a healthy and long-lived body to grow old with you."
Huo Xiao stared at him for a moment, lowered his head, and uttered a single word in a trembling voice, "...Okay."
The doctor said Yan Xi only had about two months left.
How great this is! After I die, I don’t have to worry about him being sad about my death for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Yan Xi sighed helplessly, barely propped herself up and hugged him, patted his shoulder, and said softly and comfortingly: "Didn't we agree not to cry? I haven't cried yet, so you can't cry either."
"I'm not crying. I'm just wondering what you would do if you couldn't find me in your next life?" Huo Xiao said, hugging him tightly.
Yan Xi: "No, and even if I can't find you, don't you know to come find me? You can't always let me take the initiative, otherwise I will be angry."
"I... I'll try my best." Huo Xiao buried his head in Yan Xi's neck, hiding the uncontrollable sadness on his face.
"What do you mean by try your best? You must do it! Huh?"
Huo Xiao didn't say anything.
Yan Xi was anxious, "You must come find me in your next life and you must like me, do you understand? If you don't do this, when I find you, I will definitely beat you up."
Huo Xiao raised his head, looked at the boy who was deliberately putting on a fierce expression, and nodded with a smile that seemed to be crying, "...Okay."
Yan Xi and Huo Xiao went to another hospital.
Huo Xiao sent Liu Yang to take care of Grandma Lu, and asked people who knew the situation not to tell her about Yan Xi's illness.
If Grandma Lu asked, they would all say that Yan Xi went there as an exchange student.
Huo Xiao found the best doctor and arranged the best ward for Yan Xi.
In order to cooperate with the treatment, Yan Xi can't eat many things.
Eating bland food every day made him lose his appetite even more.
But every time he saw Huo Xiao's pitiful expression, he endured the discomfort and forced himself to eat a bowl of rice.
As time passed, Grandma Lu had almost recovered.
Huo Xiao told her about Yan Xi's illness.
When Grandma Lu learned that her only grandson was in the final days of his life, she fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she burst into tears.
But in order not to let Yan Xi worry, she wiped away her tears, made some delicious food, and followed Huo Xiao to see him.
When she saw her grandson again, Grandma Lu almost didn't recognize him.
Because Yan Xi is no longer the youthful and energetic teenager. His cheeks and eye sockets are now sunken, and his face is sickly pale. Although his eyes are still bright, they lack vitality.
"Xiaoxi, grandma has made your favorite dish from your childhood. Try it and see if it still tastes the same." Grandma Lu held back her tears and held the bowl and chopsticks with a smile, wanting to feed him like she did when he was a child.
Yan Xi didn't have much strength to speak, and her voice was very low, "Okay, I'll try it."
He reluctantly took a bite and said with a smile, "That's right, this is the taste. Grandma's cooking is the best."
"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day." Grandma Lu couldn't help shedding tears. She wiped her tears and continued to feed her, "Come on, have another bite."
"Okay." Yan Xi opened his mouth obediently.
The grandmother and grandson chatted intermittently, most of the time Grandma Lu was talking about Yanxi's childhood, and Yanxi occasionally agreed with a few words.
He didn't have the energy to say anything more than agreeing.
Huo Xiao and Liu Yang couldn't bear to see this scene, so they simply walked out of the ward.
"Boss, it's lunch time now. I'm going to buy some food. You wait here. By the way, what do you want to eat?" Liu Yang asked, touching his stomach.
"It's all fine." Huo Xiao lowered his head, and Liu Yang couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Okay." Liu Yang trotted away.
Huo Xiao reached into his pocket, touched the dagger inside, looked deeply at Yan Xi in the ward, and smiled slightly.
I really want to be with you until the end of your life.
Unfortunately, I can't do it.
Yesterday, that person appeared in his dream again and urged him to make a choice quickly, and he had to make a decision quickly.
It's been delayed for so long, enough is enough.
He had almost dealt with the Huo family's affairs, and had also gradually completed the handover of work matters.
He resigned early this morning.
His father was disappointed in him after that incident and offered to resign, and he approved it without any objection.
He also asked his friends to find Liu Yang's whereabouts.
Everything is taken care of and there is no need to delay any further.
Grandma Lu originally wanted to stay with her precious grandson more in the hospital, but Yanxi insisted that she go back early to rest, so Grandma Lu had no choice but to go back.
Before leaving, Grandma Lu pulled Huo Xiao aside to talk. She said, "Xiao Huo, thank you for taking care of Xiaoxi these days. He's worried about an old woman like me, and I don't dare to disturb him at this time. It's just hard for you, child. Don't be too hard on yourself. Wait...after this, just forget about him. I, Grandma, will just remember him."
"Grandma, I won't forget him." Huo Xiao shook his head, slowly curling his lips, but his eyes were red. "This is his last wish, I will always remember it."
"You kid..." Grandma Lu choked up, not knowing what to say. She waved her hand and sighed, "Forget it, let nature take its course."
Grandma Lu turned around and just took a step when Huo Xiao called her, "Grandma, you have to promise me one thing."
Grandma Lu: "What's the matter?"
"You are the one Yan Xi loves the most, and you are also the one he worries about the most. I hope you can be well and stay with him until the end. I also hope you can live a good life after he... leaves."
Grandma Lu listened and was silent for a while before nodding.
Then the old man hobbled away.
The back view looks so helpless and desolate.
But even so, she still did not fall down.
Huo Xiao looked at it and felt relieved.
