Liu Xiangru: "I found it. It was rolled up in your own clothes. Weren't we taking all those clothes back in the end? Your father didn't even look at them and threw them all into the laundry basket. Only today did he remember that there was still a pile of clothes that he hadn't looked through. Look, he just found it. Now your father is about to go out to return it."
Zhou Mo felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, Mom, I should have done these things myself. I've put you through so much trouble."
Liu Xiangru said with a smile, "Isn't being a parent all about taking care of your children? Your dad is idle at home with nothing to do anyway, so it's good to take care of him."
Zhou Mo: "I will definitely bring you gifts when I go back. Han Chen and I have replanned our route and plan to fly to Jincheng tomorrow to visit Han Chen's father."
Liu Xiangru was surprised: "That's great. Does his father have time? Will it disturb him?"
Zhou Mo: "We have all contacted each other in advance."
Liu Xiangru: "That's good. Please also tell Han Chen's father to come to Dongjiang when he has time. We haven't met in person yet."
Zhou Mo: "Okay."
Zhou Zheng's voice was faintly heard from the other end of the phone. He should be far away, but Zhou Mo could still hear his voice clearly.
He said, "Momo, Dad is gone. You talk to your mom. When I come back, we can have a phone call alone, without your mom."
Zhou Mo knew that Zhou Zheng was joking, but she still happily responded, "Okay."
Finished chatting with Liu Xiangru.
Han Chen said that there was a very famous snack bar in Jinling, which they had never been to. They wanted to find a meaningful restaurant for their last dinner before leaving, and he wanted to take Zhou Mo there.
Zhou Mo happily agreed.
When Zhou Mo went out, his right eyelid kept twitching.
"If your left eye twitches, it means good fortune; if your right eye twitches, it means disaster," Zhou Mo said.
Han Chen said: "It's just the repeated contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle in the eyelid. It may be related to fatigue or neurological dysfunction."
Zhou Mo: "No, I still have to jump three times. It is said that it can ward off disasters."
Han Chen laughed and said, "Aren't you a staunch materialist? Why do you still believe this?"
Zhou Mo: "Sometimes you have to believe in metaphysics."
Han Chen: "Okay, jump." He let go.
Zhou Mo jumped three times on the spot.
The two of them went to the restaurant hand in hand and had dinner together.
When I came out of the hotel, the sky was foggy and it was drizzling. It was getting dark soon. This dull and depressing feeling made me very uncomfortable.
Zhou Mo rubbed his chest, feeling blocked and a little damp.
Han Chen bought her some water and teased her, "It's only been a short time, and you're already experiencing early pregnancy symptoms?"
Zhou Mo took the water and glared at him, "I am really full."
Han Chen smiled and said, "Tell me...what if we return after this trip and you are really pregnant? What should we do?"
Zhou Mo: "Just give birth if you're pregnant."
Han Chen: "Aren't you afraid that it will affect your studies?"
Zhou Mo: "My teacher is very open-minded. At most, I can postpone graduation for a year. After having a child, it can be considered as completing a major event in life. It's not a loss even if I postpone graduation."
Han Chen hugged Zhou Mo and said, "Being pregnant is very hard."
Zhou Mo: "I know. So I prepared myself mentally for a long time."
Han Chen lowered his head and kissed Zhou Mo lightly on the forehead.
Zhou Mo suddenly remembered something, "My mother especially likes plane trees. Aren't the plane trees here very famous? Let's go for a walk and take some photos for her."
Han Chen smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhou Mo: "Do you know why my mother likes plane trees?"
Han Chen: "Because of Soong Mei-ling?"
Zhou Mo: "Yes."
Han Chen: "I understand. After all, who doesn't like romance?"
Zhou Mo smiled, took Han Chen's arm, and the two walked side by side, as if they were strolling on the Champs-Elysées.
The branches of the sycamore trees on both sides were stretched out, extremely enchanting. People passing by were in a hurry, but only the two of them walked down hand in hand, step by step, casually.
As night falls, the lights on the roadside light up one after another, bringing a bright surprise to the eyes.
"Let me take a picture of you," Han Chen let go of Zhou Mo's hand and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
"Okay," Zhou Mo looked around and found a place under the street light.
She remembered that Han Chen once said that she looked best under the street lights.
Just as he struck a pose and Han Chen hadn't pressed the shutter button, Zhou Mo's phone rang rapidly.
Zhou Mo quickly took out his cell phone.
It’s Liu Xiangru.
She was delighted, thinking that this was a good opportunity to let Liu Xiangru see the plane trees.
"Hey, Mom, we're..."
"Mo Mo..." Liu Xiangru's voice was panicked and trembling, with obvious crying tones.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?" Zhou Mo asked worriedly.
"Your father...something happened..."
Zhou Mo's heart stagnated. "My dad is in trouble? What happened to him?"
"He's been in a car accident. Please come back soon," Liu Xiangru said, her emotions breaking down as she burst into tears. "He's... bleeding so much. He's being treated now. The doctor said... the doctor said... the chances of him surviving... are slim."
"What...what..." Zhou Mora was struck by lightning. She was so distracted that she couldn't even hold the phone, and it slipped directly from her palm.
Seeing this, Han Chen quickly picked up his phone and asked, "What's wrong?" He flipped over the phone and the screen showed that he was talking to Liu Xiangru.
On the other end of the phone, Liu Xiangru called out anxiously, "Momo...Momo...are you there?"
Han Chen saw that Zhou Mo was completely stunned. He quickly picked up the phone and asked, "Mom, what happened?"
"Han Chen? Han Chen, please come back soon. Momo's father was in a car accident and is almost dead... Please come back soon..." Liu Xiangru said, crying.
Han Chen felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt. He really wanted to ask what had happened and why the car accident happened suddenly. However, Liu Xiangru was now so emotionally broken that she couldn't even speak complete sentences. How could she answer his questions completely?
He could only comfort her, "Mom, don't worry, we'll be back soon. Please don't worry."
Hang up the phone.
Zhou Mo stared at Han Chen in a daze, "I want to go back, now, right away, I want to see my dad."
Han Chen held Zhou Mo's hand and found that her hands were shaking. "Okay, we will go back right away."
At this second, Zhou Mo was still calm, and the next second, Zhou Mo's emotions collapsed.
She kept talking about going back to find her father and couldn't believe that Zhou Zhengren was gone just like that.
She also said that Zhou Zheng had made an appointment with her in the afternoon to call her in the evening.
Han Chen felt very uncomfortable watching her like this, and even more uncomfortable when he thought of Zhou Zheng...
He quickly notified Liang Xinyun and asked her to go to the hospital to accompany Liu Xiangru first.
I canceled my flight to Jincheng tomorrow and bought a flight to Dongjiang today instead.
Fortunately, there is another flight to Dongjiang today.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when the two arrived at Dongjiang.
Rushed to the emergency room.
I saw a funeral home car parked in front of the emergency room.
