Chapter 973 Failed
That day, Zhou Suihuai seemed to be in a good mood.
In the morning, I made firecrackers with some kids and then made candied haws.
The whole Zhou family was filled with the sweet smell of caramel.
The people in the Zhou family looked at Zhou Suihuai happily, and they understood each other tacitly.
After lunch, Zhou Suihuai took the children to build a snowman and have a snowball fight.
The children were already five years old. The boys were very strong and surrounded Zhou Suihuai to beat him. Snow was stuck on Zhou Suihuai's bright red sweater. In a trance, he remembered that when Bian Zhi was here, two adults surrounded several little kids and beat them. The sound was just like today and could be heard from far away.
After coaxing the child to take a nap, Zhou Suihuai was tired, so he went to his room to take a nap.
When he was half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear someone talking downstairs, and he came out barefoot.
The people downstairs looked at him, from top to bottom. Yuan Yining cursed, "It's winter, why don't you wear slippers? Where are your clothes? Aren't you afraid of the cold? Hurry up and go in!"
When Zhou Suihuai saw the person sitting in the living room, the anticipation and excitement in his eyes disappeared.
He turned back to his room, and at that moment, a huge sense of loss surged in his heart.
Perhaps it was at that moment that Zhou Suihuai clearly realized——
Oh, so he was waiting.
It turns out that he has been waiting.
His subconscious mind made the decision to wait without him even knowing it.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, lowered his head, and pulled out a chain from his collar. On the chain hung a women's ring.
Two years have passed.
He could actually clearly remember the expression in Bian Zhi's face when he spoke to him.
When she spoke, her tone was always unhurried, very light and gentle, the kind of gentleness that belonged only to him.
He was confused at the time, but she was patient.
She looked at him with a smile and said patiently, "This ring is for you. In the future, when you feel truly willing and no longer feel awkward, then bring it to me. Now, I'll keep it with you. No matter when you come, I'll wait for you."
She was very sincere when she spoke.
To the extent that Zhou Suihuai couldn't even remember her later determination.
Or perhaps it's not that he can't remember, but that he deliberately uses time to cover up the bad and unhappy things, which have been settled in the two years of separation.
Life is too short to dwell on unhappy moments for too long.
Not worth it.
It wastes too much time.
He was willing to ask for compensation, and also wanted to hear what had made her so determined to leave.
He has some doubts in his heart, but he knows what is most important to him.
Zhou Suihuai clenched the ring tightly.
He doesn't ask for anything else.
This New Year, he hopes she will come back.
Time always passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, dinner was over.
The whole family was watching the Spring Festival Gala tacitly, but in fact they were all waiting. Old Mrs. Zhou was already old, and halfway through the show, she began to nod off with her head nodding.
I looked up at the time and found that it was already ten o'clock.
Old Mrs. Zhou subconsciously looked for Zhou Suihuai, and Yuan Yining pointed outside and said, "He went outside."
Old Mrs. Zhou sighed.
There are not many people or cars in the villa area.
Zhou Suihuai took a chair and sat at the door in the snow. His injuries had healed and even the scars were no longer visible.
He was waiting stubbornly and didn't even play games.
As the car rolled over the thick snow, making a squeaking sound, Zhou Suihuai stood up suddenly. The headlights flashed across the yard and then quickly moved away.
Like a pop in the sky, beautiful but short-lived.
"Sui Huai, it's cold outside, come in." It was already half past eleven when Yuan Yining said this.
Zhou Suihuai shook his head. Snow fell on his shoulders. His festive outfit looked like a pool of blood on the snow. "No, I'll sit for a while."
This sitting lasted until the early morning.
When Zhou Suihuai entered the room, his face was downcast. He looked at everyone, smiled, and said, "Go back to sleep. The Spring Festival Gala is over."
The Zhou family saw Zhou Suihuai's stubbornness. Zhou Guotao walked over to Yuan Yining and said, "Call your good sister. What's going on? Didn't you say you'd be back for two years? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
To the Zhou family, Bian Zhi is a family member as well as a doctor, and her words always come with authority.
Two years.
She had been saying this for two years, and they believed she would come back.
But it's been two years.
Where are the people?
Yuan Yining called Bian Yaoyao.
The person on the other end of the phone took a long time to answer, "Hello?" The voice was low and quiet.
"Where's Zhizhi?"
Bian Yaoyao's voice hesitated, "Ah? What's wrong?"
Yuan Yining was impatient and said immediately, "You promised to come back this year, why haven't you come back? Did something happen?"
Bian Yaoyao didn't know about this, nor did she know that the Zhou family was waiting. She paused, glanced at the dark window, and said softly, "She's asleep. How about I ask her to call back tomorrow?"
When Bian Yaoyao said this, Zhou Suihuai was standing on the stairs and laughed very briefly.
Then, Yuan Yining saw Zhou Suihuai pull out the thin chain from his collar. Yuan Yining immediately said to Bian Yaoyao, "Let's go ask him. Is he feeling unwell and can't make it back today? You can come back tomorrow, and I'll ask my family to fly over to pick you up."
There was a faint sound from Bian Yaoyao's end, and then there was a very slight knock on the door.
Yuan Yining could feel the back of the person standing on the stairs pause.
Then, Bian Yaoyao seemed to ask the person inside the room, "Girl, someone called from China and asked if you were going back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
There was a long silence afterwards.
Then came a vague sound.
"No."
There was another pause of a few seconds.
The voice was very shallow and soft, and Bian Zhi's voice was not clear, but the Zhou family still heard it clearly. Bian Zhi said three words, "Don't wait."
Zhou Suihuai sneered.
The sound was very noticeable in the quiet Zhou family living room.
He went upstairs, his footsteps clattering on the stairs. He pulled the thing off his neck with his hand, and then, with a "bang", threw it into the trash can.
Yuan Yining frowned and asked Bian Yaoyao, "What's going on?" When Bian Zhi left, no one in the Zhou family knew the reason. Now that he hasn't returned, no one knows. Yuan Yining was very anxious. "We are all family. If there is something, we need to talk about it. What does this mean?"
Yuan Yining's tone was bad because he was worried about his son. "Although Sui Huai didn't say anything today, he waited for a whole day and postponed all the plans just for today. If he didn't come back, he should have told me in advance, so as not to make the child wait so expectantly."
Yuan Yining said this in a very anxious tone.
Two years.
It's not just two days.
He never gives any explanation, which makes me feel confused and lost. What should I do?
Bian Yaoyao didn't say anything for a long time, and then the door creaked open.
Bian Zhi's voice sounded from the other end, deep and cold, with a sense of alienation that was unfamiliar to Yuan Yining.
Bian Zhi said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Yuan, please don't wait for me anymore. I won't go back."
After saying that.
The phone hung up.
Yuan Yining called again, but the line was no longer connected.
