Chapter 586 You Are Not a Burden
Bai Qingxia stood there for a long time, staring at Bai Songzhe blankly. She quickly walked over and squatted in front of her father, her eyes moist as she spoke with a trembling voice: "Dad? Are you okay? Can you... look at me and say it again?"
She grabbed her father's arm and shook it hard, but Bai Songzhe ignored her. His unfocused eyes were still staring blankly at a certain point in the air.
"Go...love."
Bai Songzhe repeated it persistently for the fourth time, and his vicissitudes of life voice began to tremble.
"Okay, okay, I know... I know..." Bai Qingxia opened her arms and hugged her father, with her chin on his shoulder. Two lines of clear tears slid down her face, leaving two dark blue marks on Bai Songzhe's light blue short-sleeved shirt.
Aunt Zhang stood at the door of the room, looking at the scene in confusion, and slowly walked in.
"Xia Xia."
Bai Qingxia turned around when she heard the voice. She wiped her tears and said to Aunt Zhang with a smile, "Aunt Zhang, my father just talked to me!"
Aunt Zhang didn't respond immediately. She just stared at Bai Songzhe's face and whispered to Bai Qingxia, "Old Bai is crying..."
Bai Qingxia then looked at her father's face again. The tears in the corners of Bai Songzhe's eyes had already flowed down to his chin. Looking at this scene, Bai Qingxia couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat again.
She quickly raised her fingers to wipe his tears, choking with sobs as she comforted him, "Dad, don't cry, don't cry. Your daughter is very happy every day. She has met someone she likes. She will work hard to pursue her own happiness and live a good life. The suffering is over, over..."
Bai Songzhe began to shed new tears. Aunt Zhang saw this and quickly took a tissue from the side and handed it to Bai Qingxia, who quickly took it.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but raise her hand and wipe the corners of her eyes with her palm. She asked hesitantly: "Should we take him to the hospital, Xia Xia?"
Bai Qingxia nodded immediately: "Go."
Lucheng First Hospital.
This time, Bai Qingxia did not call Lu Yuanqiu, nor did she bother Su Xiaoya. She and Aunt Zhang took Bai Songzhe to the hospital. After meeting the director of the psychiatric department, Aunt Zhang had to go home first because Ranran was still at home.
"Talked? What did you say?"
Seeing that Bai Songzhe still had a dazed look on his face, the male director simply tested a few of his common physiological reflexes and asked Bai Qingxia.
Bai Qingxia hesitated for two or three seconds, and first explained: "He might...maybe he saw me getting close to a boy, but I deliberately kept my distance. This boy is someone I like, but..."
"But because of your father, you are not ready to be with the other person? Haha, you should be talking about Director Su's son, right? I have met that boy and I can see that he likes you too." The male director interrupted with a smile.
Bai Qingxia's expression froze. Yes, she had forgotten that this director knew Aunt Su. She lowered her head slightly and nodded.
"What did your father say?" asked the male director.
Bai Qingxia responded in a low voice: "He said, go ahead and love, he said it four times."
The male director was stunned when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows slightly as if thinking, then smiled and continued to look at Bai Songzhe. He exhaled, and his eyes suddenly showed some emotion.
"Little girl, I actually have a daughter too, who is about your age. As a father, it is impossible for me to encourage my daughter to date other boys, especially... How old are you?"
“Almost 19.”
"Yes, my daughter is already 20, but I still don't want her to fall in love, even though she told me that she and that boy are truly in love."
The male director suddenly sighed when he said this, looked at Bai Songzhe, paused for a long time, and then continued:
"Parents are so pitiful. Your father must have regained some consciousness, otherwise he wouldn't have said those three words. This might be what he wanted to say to you the most after being ill for eight years. He wanted you to be brave and live the life you want. Don't care about him and don't let him tie you down. Father's love is like a mountain. It's probably like this. Because of love, I choose to let go."
As soon as the male director finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the girl at the table was crying. He exclaimed, "Ouch!" and quickly took out a few tissues and handed them to her: "Don't cry, don't cry. This is a good thing. It means that your father has regained some independent thinking ability."
"I won't give up on him." Bai Qingxia said.
The male director smiled and said, "Your father probably knows this too, that's why he's so anxious that he's talking. I guess he must have paid more attention to Director Su's son than you during this period. The old father is worried to death, so hurry up and have a relationship. Hahaha, maybe seeing his daughter live a happy life will make your father feel relieved and he will recover faster."
Bai Qingxia wiped her tears, turned her head to look at Bai Songzhe, and then nodded to the male director: "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. If you don't want to talk, I'll let my daughter do it. I also want to become Director Su's relative." The male director stood up and said jokingly.
Bai Qingxia stood up with an embarrassed look on her face, and also helped Bai Songzhe to stand up.
Taking her father into a taxi to go home, Bai Qingxia looked at Lucheng outside the window. She seemed to feel more relieved. Gradually, a smile appeared on Bai Qingxia's face. She hugged Bai Songzhe's arm and rested her head on her father's shoulder with a happy expression.
"Dad, you are not a burden. I will also pursue my own happiness." Bai Qingxia said in her heart. She thought her father might be able to hear her.
After returning home, Bai Qingxia once again confirmed that Yanbai Songzhe was fine before going out to the "Dancing Youth" dance clothing store.
Walking into the clothing store, Bai Qingxia saw a fat figure sitting in the lounge area, while the store owner was entertaining another customer at the dance costume display cabinet.
Seeing Bai Qingxia standing at the door, the proprietress quickly said to her: "Please wait a moment, I will be done soon."
Bai Qingxia nodded silently.
Only a year had passed, but the landlady seemed a little unrecognizable to her. That made sense, as she was wearing a school uniform and a ponytail when she came last time. But now Bai Qingxia has learned how to match her clothes, and her hair has become long straight black hair.
Seeing that Bai Qingxia was still standing at the door, the proprietress hurriedly said, "Don't stand there, go sit over there, there are snacks and disposable cups over there."
Bai Qingxia saw the fat boy sitting in the rest area. She didn't like sitting next to strangers, so she smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I can just stand."
Seeing this, the proprietress could only smile and repeat "wait a moment" before continuing to work.
The fat boy sitting in the lounge area stood up at this time. Perhaps he knew that his presence made customers uncomfortable, so he walked towards the lounge inside the store with his laptop.
