After staying at home for about ten days, I received news from the teacher that I was hospitalized.

Nuannuan took a plane there that night and went directly to the hospital.

In the ward, the old man was asleep with an oxygen mask on and an IV in his hand.

Xie Jingsheng sat aside and glanced at the medicine from time to time.

There was a slight sound from the door of the ward, and then the door was pushed open, and Nuannuan walked in quietly.

His expression was slightly tired.

She was accompanied by several of her brothers.

"Jingsheng, how is the teacher?"

She walked to the bed, glanced at the teacher and asked quietly.

Xie Jingsheng - "My grandmother almost fell down when she got up today, but now she is fine."

It's just that I'm older.

Nuannuan nodded with red eyes, and sat beside the old man, watching over him silently.

The air conditioner was on in the ward, and Nuannuan gently held the old man's other hand that was not receiving an IV drip.

Su He came in with a kettle of hot water and was not surprised to see Nuan Nuan and her brothers.

"You are here."

He put down the kettle and looked at Nuannuan with a gentle expression.

"Why don't you come tomorrow, Nuan Nuan? You must be tired after rushing here so late at night."

Nuan Nuan shook her head——"I want to see the teacher as soon as possible."

Su He took out a basin, prepared warm water and used it to wipe his mother's hands and feet.

"Go lie down on the bed over there for a while, or your teacher will be worried when he wakes up and sees you like this."

The little girl pursed her lips and said "oh", then looked at the teacher for several times before leaving.

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Gu Nan gently rubbed her head - "Let's go to the hotel, you have a good sleep and we will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Nuannuan probably couldn't sleep well here with them, and she probably wouldn't want to go to the hotel.

Nuannuan nodded, lay on the small bed and closed her eyes.

But she didn't rest for long as she woke up when she heard the teacher's voice.

Xie Jingsheng is feeding Su Xi water.

Nuannuan hurried over to help.

Su Xi opened her eyes and saw Nuannuan, then she trembled and stretched out a hand to grab her.

Nuan Nuan quickly put her hand in. "Teacher, I'm back."

"It's Nuan Nuan."

The old man took her hand and smiled.

"Teacher, go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."

She tucked the quilt into the old woman's arms, watched her close her eyes, and held her hand tightly without letting go.

"Jingsheng, you should go to bed too. I'll stay with the teacher."

Xie Jingsheng wanted to say that he was not sleepy.

Nuan Nuan pretended to be fierce - "Don't say you're not sleepy!"

Xie Jingsheng laughed——"Okay, remember to call me if you need anything."

In the late night, Su He returned exhausted and dusty.

He left in a hurry and many things were left undealt with.

While A Niang was asleep, he went back and handed over all matters to his subordinates. Without even taking a rest, he went back to the hospital.

"Uncle, you should also go and have a rest. Don't overwork yourself or the teacher will feel bad."

Su He looked at the well-behaved and sensible girl, sighed and rubbed her head.

"Nuannuan, you've worked hard."

The little girl shook her head and said she was not tired.

After the old man's IV drip was finished, Nuannuan fell into a deep sleep beside the bed.

Su He woke up at dawn the next day. Although he had only rested for three hours, he felt much better.

Nuannuan was awakened by the movement on the hospital bed. Her teacher had woken up at some point and was now half-sitting on the bed, his old fingers gently stroking her hair.

"Teacher, you're awake."

Su Xi nodded——"My Nuan Nuan has worked hard."

"It's not hard, as long as the teacher is well."

Su He poured a glass of water and fed it to her.

"Mother, drink some water."

Xie Jingsheng peeled an orange and handed it to Nuannuan - "Have some."

Because Su Xi is in good condition now, the atmosphere in the ward is more relaxed.

At eight o'clock, the door of the ward was opened, and Nuannuan's brothers came in with breakfast.

"Have some breakfast."

Su Xi may have to be hospitalized for a while. Fortunately, there is a nanny at home to take care of the animals, otherwise I would be even more worried.

Later, Su He's daughter-in-law and two sons, Su Qingran and Su Wanniang, came back one after another.

They were abroad when they received the news, or they would have rushed back last night.

Su Xi was discharged from the hospital half a month later. Even though she was not fully recovered, she did not want to stay in the hospital any longer.

It is already the end of April, and all kinds of flowers in the yard are in full bloom, giving the yard a vibrant look.

The sun was shining brightly, and Su Xi was pushed out in a wheelchair to bask in the sun and look at the flowers. Nuannuan sat obediently beside her and embroidered. Lele lay at her feet, with her chin resting on the back of her feet and basking in the sun with her eyes closed. Xie Jingsheng was reading a book on the side.

The old woman's two grandsons were also reading books obediently beside her, and they told jokes from time to time to make her happy.

Such peaceful days lasted until June. Su Xi, who had always been weak, was in particularly good spirits today. Sitting in the yard full of flowers, she suddenly called Xie Jingsheng.

"Jingsheng, isn't it time for you to take the high school entrance exam?"

Xie Jingsheng patted her hand and consoled her - "The school has said that with my grades, I can directly enter Lincheng No. 1 High School, so don't worry."

Su Xi smiled - "Okay, okay, Nuannuan will also go to junior high school."

Nuan Nuan nodded - "Teacher, I have already learned the junior high school curriculum."

"Yilin Yihao, let me tell you the story of your grandfather and I..."

The two young boys surrounded her, feeling particularly heavy-hearted. The eyes of the adults standing on the other side were already red.

Su Xi's eyes were gentle, and even though her face was covered with wrinkles, she was still elegant in her bones.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up the petals of various flowers in the yard, and Su Xi suddenly looked towards the door.

In a daze, she seemed to see an elegant young man wearing a Zhongshan suit from the Republic of China period. He hurried to the door and gave her a familiar, long-lost smile.

"Xixi, I'm back."

Su Xi looked at the man at the door and tears instantly filled her face.

"Ah He, Wan Niang, Qing Ran, I saw him. Ah He, your father is here to pick me up."

Su Xi slowly raised the old hand. At that moment, she felt that her soul had freed itself from the burden of her sick body and stood up. Then she ran towards the man without looking back.

Just like when she was in her twenties, wearing a light blue cheongsam and her long black hair draped over her shoulders, she transformed into a younger look and hugged the person who had been waiting for her for many years.

"I'm here to pick you up."

Su Xi heard the person she had been thinking about say this.

The two invisible souls held hands and walked out. They turned back and saw the yard full of flowers and the people who had already burst into tears.

"Goodbye."

Finally, at the last moment, I waited for the person I wanted to wait for.

In her life, she had done her best in everything except for that person. Although she was reluctant to let go, she no longer had any attachment to him.
