Chapter 2064: The old does not go away, the new does not come
Cheng Xiaoyu left the ward with a heart full of doubts.
As I arrived at the elevator, I saw Yan Hao walking out.
He was wearing a formal suit, a casual suit with a coat on the outside and a black sweater on the inside, and looked like he had just come back from get off work.
When the two met, they were both stunned. Yan Hao took the initiative to greet them: "Are you leaving?"
"Auntie is asleep. It's useless for me to be here. I'll go back first."
Yan Hao nodded.
Cheng Xiaoyu walked past him, and before she got into the elevator, Yan Hao called her again.
"Xiaoyu."
"Um?"
She turned around and looked at Yan Hao.
He looked at her with melancholy eyes: "I saw your circle of friends."
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and smiled.
Yan Hao added: "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly thought of Aunt Yan's reaction just now, and asked Yan Hao: "Have you told Aunt Yan about my marriage?"
Yan Hao shook his head, "What's wrong? Did my mom find out?"
Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said to Yan Hao that she felt that Aunt Yan seemed to have suddenly become polite to her. She was worried that Aunt Yan knew that they were lying, so she suddenly changed her attitude.
Yan Hao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said that he probably didn't find it.
His mother doesn't like to use her cell phone or go online, so she had no chance to hear the news.
Cheng Xiaoyu mentioned nurses or caregivers again. Is it possible that they saw the news and let it slip to Aunt Yan? Because Shi Chenyuan is also a celebrity. Although he is usually low-key, after the marriage news was announced last night, the media still created a wave of heat.
It is very likely that it was seen by the hospital staff or other patients, and then the news was passed on to Aunt Yan.
But Yan Hao thought this was unlikely. The hospital staff were very busy and probably didn't have time to gossip. Besides, his mother was in an intensive care unit and she wasn't sociable, so she didn't usually come into contact with other patients.
The person who took care of Aunt Yan the most was the nurse, but that nurse was usually very quiet and kind-hearted. Even if she knew that they were acting, she would never expose them.
Before Cheng Xiaoyu and Shi Chenyuan officially announced their marriage, his mother's emotions were unstable. She became a little sensitive and unwilling to interact with others.
After analyzing it this way, Yan Hao thought that his mother was emotionally unstable just because of her illness and it had nothing to do with Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Hao said that since his mother has been emotionally unstable recently, Xiaoyu should come less often. After all, she has her own work and life, and he feels embarrassed to ask her to go to the hospital all the time.
Yan Hao's understanding surprised Xiao Yu slightly: "That's nothing."
She paused and then said, "If Auntie wants to see me, please call me again."
"good."
Before leaving, Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at him again and said, "This coat has been around for years, why are you still wearing it?"
Yan Hao was stunned for a moment. "It's a nice dress. It would be a waste not to wear it. Besides..."
He looked into Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes and continued, "I quite like it. I'm a little reluctant to throw it away."
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? It's just a coat. Out with the old comes the new."
Yan Hao smiled bitterly: "Let me see. If I find a suitable place to recycle old items, I'll sort out the old clothes and donate them."
It is easy to find a platform for recycling old items. Cheng Xiaoyu knew that these were all excuses, but he didn't say anything more.
What Yan Hao felt in his heart had nothing to do with her anymore.
The elevator arrived at this floor again. Cheng Xiaoyu did not linger any longer and entered the elevator.
Yan Hao watched her enter the elevator and watched the elevator door close between them.
After Cheng Xiaoyu left, Yan Hao put his hands in his coat pockets and walked towards his mother's ward.
This coat was bought for him by Xiaoyu. She bought it with the prize money she won from a ballet competition during her college years.
The clothes had been worn for many years and there was a hole in the lining of the coat pocket, and my fingers would stick out of the hole.
Every winter, when he and Xiaoyu took a walk together, she loved to look beautiful and always wore less clothes, so he would hold her hand and put it in his coat pocket.
Xiaoyu always likes to pick at this hole, and every time I have to remind him that if he doesn't fix it, his whole hand will get stuck in the hole.
He held her hand and said with a smile: "If you hadn't been picking at it all the time, it wouldn't be this big."
She refused to listen and continued to play as she pleased, adding, "You are not allowed to throw it away even if it breaks."
"Okay, I won't throw it away."
"I'll wear it until I'm eighty."
"Can."
She smiled brightly and added, "Brother, you must keep in good shape. If you get fat, you won't be able to wear it."
…
Thinking about what the two had said to each other, Yan Hao felt a little dazed, as if it happened in his previous life.
But this coat reminded him that he did have happiness once, but he took it for granted at that time and thought that happiness would always be with him.
Now, the clothes are still the same clothes, but her hand will never return to his palm again.
I just don’t know if Xiaoyu would think of their past when Shi Chenyuan took her hand and put it in his pocket.
Yan Hao came to the ward and his mother was already asleep.
He sat on the sofa by the window, took out his cell phone again, and found the circle of friends that Xiaoyu posted last night.
When he saw the news last night, he felt unimaginable.
He knew that he had absolutely no chance and that it was time to let it go.
Looking at the marriage certificate, Xiaoyu's smiling mouth and bright eyes, Yan Hao couldn't help but reach out and touch her facial features through the screen.
He had made mistakes in the past and hurt Xiaoyu. Now that Xiaoyu was happy, he had no right to be sad or lonely, let alone regret anything.
In fact, he should be thankful that he didn't ruin someone's life...
I looked at my mother lying on the bed again. The person I felt most sorry for was my mother.
The mother loved Xiaoyu so much and always hoped to see them get married, but unfortunately, he messed everything up.
He really wanted to tell his mother the truth and hear a few words of comfort from her, but the one who needed comfort the most now was his mother, not him.
So, he and Xiaoyu had to continue making up this lie.
Even though he pretended to be in love with Xiaoyu as much as before in front of his mother, he still felt uncomfortable.
It was as if he was reminded every moment of how happy he was in the past and how miserable he was now.
But if this can make his mother feel better and slow down the progression of her illness, then he won't mind doing anything, even if he is scolded for being selfish and shameless, he will still do it.
…
After leaving the hospital, Cheng Xiaoyu went straight to the company.
It's not a good idea to always find excuses not to go to work. What if one day Shi Chenyuan finds that she is dispensable and fires her?
She doesn't want to be a full-time housewife, nor does she want to change jobs.
After Cheng Xiaoyu arrived at the company, she went to the president's office first, intending to sneak in and give Shi Chenyuan a surprise.
