It was not spring yet in Central City, and the weather was very cold. Qin Hongfei felt warmed to her heart when she took a bite of the bread. She finished the milk and bread in two or three bites. She felt a little drowsy, but she didn't pretend to be nice. She leaned on Tang Jinnan's shoulder and said, "I'll take a nap. Call me when you get there."
Tang Jinnan used his free hand to gently pinch the back of her neck and said, "Go to sleep."
He could almost imagine that she must have been frightened by the news. She was awakened from her sleep and rushed over. She must be very tired. But he also knew that for Qin Hongfei, all the tiredness was nothing. She wanted to see Dean Bai as soon as possible.
To be honest, Dean Bai's condition was not very good.
He had a basic disease, and he had not followed the doctor's advice to rest well in the past few years. He had been busy living one more day.
Tang Jinnan looked at Qin Hongfei who was leaning on his shoulder with worry. He saw that she was sleeping soundly but her brows were furrowed. When the traffic light stopped, he reached out and smoothed the marks between her brows, leaned over and gently kissed the corner of her lips.
Meng Yu was very tactful to be a background board.
Qin Hongfei did not sleep well and had a dream. The dream was bizarre and contained everything.
She also dreamed of Bai Yimeng when she was young.
She dreamed of the year when she was 36 years old, in the prime of her life but was constrained by worldly prejudices.
She dreamed that she had traveled thousands of miles to find Cangyu, but Cangyu ended up sleeping in another girl's bed. In that era, no matter what happened or not, it was self-evident what it meant for a man and a woman to sleep in the same bed.
Qin Hongfei wanted to pick up an axe to chop the couple for the teacher, and then the scene changed to Bai Yimeng kneeling in front of her house...
Her mother and sister-in-law brought the crying child who had lost his father to scold her, and the relatives of the Bai family stood in a row and surrounded her in the middle, pointing fingers, and the scolding voices kept pressing on Bai Yimeng's back like big rocks, almost crushing her, and she couldn't even breathe.
Qin Hongfei wanted to help the teacher, but for some reason, the more anxious she was, the slower she could move forward. Just when she was getting impatient, her eyes suddenly opened.
The signboard of the institute was bright in the night.
Qin Hongfei was confused for a moment, and suddenly met a pair of clear eyes. She heard his voice and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?" Tang Jinnan pinched the back of her neck and relaxed her muscles. As he moved, Qin Hongfei's stiff muscles slowly relaxed a lot.
"Yeah." Qin Hongfei exhaled a little and said to him, "I dreamed of the teacher kneeling in front of the Bai family... It was terrible."
Tang Jinnan said nothing. If Bai Yimeng was like this now, his teacher had to bear at least 80% of the responsibility.
Qin Hongfei just said it casually, and did not mean to vent his anger.
After a moment of calming down, she got out of the car.
The corridor of the hospital was lit up at night. Because it was dark, not many people were informed about Bai Yimeng's matter. Qin Hongfei saw only scattered people in the corridor, such as Li Jiantian, Cang Yu, Qi Wu, Shou, and Yun Haiyang from the Yun family with Jun Jing, and Yun Ri.
She looked around, but didn't find the person she was looking for.
Tang Jinnan knew what she was looking for and said, "The Bai family has been notified."
They were notified, but the person didn't come.
Qin Hongfei said nothing and strode towards the ward without saying hello to Cang Yu during the process.
There was someone in the ward, a person sitting in a wheelchair guarding the bed. Bai Yimeng just wanted to drink some water. Ning Xiao, who was guarding the bed, wanted to help the teacher up, but she didn't have enough strength. Qin Hongfei quickly stepped forward to help.
"Junior sister!" Ning Xiao's eyes lit up when she saw her, "Did you rush over overnight?"
"Yeah..." Qin Hongfei responded lightly, took the water, inserted a straw and let Bai Yimeng drink a few sips.
The teacher couldn't drink too much when she was sick, so she quickly took it away and looked at the ECG monitoring and other data. Her eyes dimmed a little, and the data was not too good -
"Don't make that expression." Ms. Tu's voice rang.
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable for everyone."
Qin Hongfei turned to look at Ms. Tu, who looked at her with an open mind and said, "For your teacher, it is enough to live to this age, and even to receive all her life's skills from you, her student, when she is old."
Enough.
How can it be enough?
Qin Hongfei said, "The teacher has never enjoyed any happiness!"
Other elderly people don't have to work when they retire, and go home to enjoy themselves and play with their grandchildren. However, Bai Yimeng has been busy all her life, without even a companion. It can be said that her life has been dedicated to the country and the institute.
Qin Hongfei never regretted her choice to go to S Province, and she didn't regret it at this moment, but she regretted not being able to spare more time to accompany her.
Ms. Tu saw through her thoughts and said, "Do you regret going to S Province to develop?"
Qin Hongfei said, "No."
Ms. Tu said, "Don't think about childish things."
Qin Hongfei said softly, "No regrets, S Province is my own choice, and it is supported by the teacher. If I didn't choose S Province for the teacher to stay in Yangcheng, the teacher would probably regret accepting such an unpromising student like me. I never regret any choice I made, but..." She took Bai Yimeng's hand, the hands were thin and old, and they didn't have much strength. She
just felt unfair for the teacher.
After working so hard all his life, what did he end up with.
Bai Yimeng suddenly murmured something.
Ning Xiao hurried over, "What did you say, Dean?"
Bai Yimeng murmured unconsciously.
Qin Hongfei and Ning Xiao didn't hear clearly, and Ms. Tu said, "She called Bai Yiwa."
Qin Hongfei didn't need to ask who Bai Yiwa was, Ms. Tu took the initiative to tell her, "It's her brother."
Ning Xiao's face turned pale, "Is it the Dean's brother who came to pick her up?"
Isn't it said that when a person is about to leave, he will see his relatives coming to pick him up?
Qin Hongfei took out something without saying a word, and then hung it on the head of the bed.
Ms. Tu and Ning Xiao both looked over, it was a peace amulet.
Ms. Tu was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
Qin Hongfei said, "To ward off evil spirits!"
The amulet Ms. Xia asked for was very effective.
Any evil spirits and souls would be driven away.
Qin Hongfei said, "The teacher is just sick. She will get better with proper treatment. No one can take her away."
Ms. Tu was amused by her childish actions.
Then, her cell phone rang.
Ms. Tu took a look and picked up the phone, "Hello... Yeah, OK, I got it." After
hanging up the phone, she sighed and told Qin Hongfei, "Your teacher is like this. I think I should inform the Bai family and see if they want someone to come and see her."
