You said you would wait for me
The two rushed to the hospital Qiao Ya mentioned as quickly as possible.
Lu Heng looked at the floor and room number sent by Qiao Ya on his phone, and immediately took Chen Xi back to the elevator.
Even though it was afternoon, there weren't a lot of people in the hospital, allowing the two of them to reach the room door very smoothly.
Just when Lu Heng was about to open the door, Shen Xi reached out to stop him.
"Wait...wait."
Shen Xi's voice was a little trembling, and I don't know if it was because he hadn't recovered from rushing all the way here.
Lu Heng turned to look at her and was suddenly stunned.
Chen Xi was crying. No one could hear her voice because she was pursing her lips. Even though she tried so hard to control herself, tears still kept falling from her eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Heng took his hand off the door handle.
Then he pulled Shen Xi into his arms and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Then he patted her back gently.
No one spoke again.
Chen Xi buried his head deeper and sobbed softly.
Lu Heng looked at the sign behind Shen Xi, and his eyes gradually turned red.
It turns out that this floor is the ICU.
Perhaps Chen Xi acted like this because he saw it.
What ICU means is obvious.
The person who called was Qiao Ya, and the person who was on the hot search was Bai Xindi.
Although Lu Heng knew that Bai Xindi could not be such a fragile person, he really didn't know which would come first, tomorrow or an accident.
After hugging for a while, Chen Xi raised his hand and wiped the marks on his face, and Lu Heng let go of him.
"Come in."
Shen Xi held Lu Heng's hand with one hand and placed the other hand on the door handle.
With a click, the door opened.
The two walked in.
The first thing that caught my eye was Qiao Ya’s somewhat tired back.
Lu Heng and Shen Xi, who were about to say hello, unconsciously shifted their gaze elsewhere.
There was a person they were very familiar with on the hospital bed. Lu Heng and Shen Xi had prepared themselves mentally for a long time but did not want to see this outcome.
They both froze in place.
Chen Xi's mouth opened and closed stiffly, and in the end, he only uttered three words.
"Sister Xindi..."
Hearing the voice, Qiao Ya turned around and saw Lu Heng and Shen Xi, and immediately stood up.
"You guys are here?"
"Sit down first."
Qiao Ya took the two of them and sat down on the sofa first, then poured two glasses of water and placed them in front of them.
Lu Heng came back to his senses and looked towards the bed: "Sister Qiao, what... is going on?"
Qiao Ya looked at the two of them, not knowing whether she should tell them.
These words were like thorns stuck in Qiao Ya's throat, and she couldn't pull them out.
Shen Xi picked up the water in front of him, took a sip, and after putting down the cup, the emotions that had been suppressed with great difficulty burst out again.
Shen Xi started crying again.
Seeing this, Lu Heng hugged Shen Xi and wiped her with a tissue.
At this time, someone else opened the door and came in. It was Bai Jingxing carrying dinner.
Lu Heng nodded.
Bai Jingxing glanced at the lifeless face lying on the hospital bed and said softly, "Here I am." Then he put the things in his hand on the table in front of them.
"Are you hungry? Eat something."
Qiao Ya finally released her emotions only after Bai Jingxing sat next to her.
Bai Jingxing hugged Qiao Ya silently, listening to her silent crying.
Among these four people, Qiao Ya may be the saddest.
She was talking and laughing with me the day before, and I saw her on the live broadcast a few hours ago, but now she is lying quietly on the hospital bed, barely relying on machines to survive.
Qiao Ya regretted why she didn't discover it earlier. If she had discovered it earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
In the huge room, there were Lu Heng and Shen Xi who were chattering non-stop, Qiao Ya and Bai Jingxing who always liked to watch the fun, and everyone's favorite Bai Xindie.
But at this time there was no laughter or joy at all, and it seemed particularly deserted.
The sun did not set on time today, but was covered by layers of dark clouds, as if the rainy season is approaching.
"Did Hexian Qing say that?"
Lu Heng suddenly spoke.
Qiao Ya shook her head: "No, I heard from Xin Di that he went to attend the competition banquet."
“But his phone number was unreachable.”
When Shen Xi heard this, he imagined something bad happening again and spoke with some worry.
"Fight again."
Then he took out his mobile phone, opened Xian Qing's call page, pressed it, turned on the speakerphone and put it on the table.
Lu Heng knew what she was worried about, so he patted her gently with his hand.
“Beep…beep…”
Everyone stared at their phones nervously, afraid to hear the voice reminder that the call couldn't get through.
Fortunately, the call was connected after three minutes of ringing.
"Hello?"
Xian Qing's cold voice sounded.
Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Xi asked, "Why didn't you answer Sister Qiao's call?"
"Where's Sister Xindi?"
This time the voice seemed even colder.
Shen Xi paused for a moment before speaking.
"I'll send you the address, come over first."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, no one spoke again.
At this time, it was raining outside. The rain came so hard and suddenly that no one could find a place to shelter from the rain.
——
After hanging up the phone, Xian Qing just stood on the balcony, letting the rain hit him.
After getting off the plane, he immediately returned to the apartment, but did not see Bai Xindi, and he received no reply to any of the messages he sent to Bai Xindi on his mobile phone.
It was the trending search on my phone that told me that Bai Xindi was in trouble.
I thought maybe I didn’t reply because I didn’t want to involve him.
But after seeing the address sent by Shen Xi, he seemed to know.
Sunflowers need sunshine, but it rained today.
Xian Qing looked at the large field of withered sunflowers in front of him. Fusarium wilt is a common plant pathology, but why did they die just after a rain?
He closed his eyes and slowly raised his head, feeling the rain falling from ten thousand meters above. Although it wouldn't kill him, it was painful.
Xian Qing just let the rain hit him. When he opened his eyes, the sadness in them could no longer be hidden, and a tear slid down the corner of his eye.
After calming down, he changed his clothes, took an umbrella, and drove over.
Maybe because of the rain, the road was very congested.
When Xian Qing arrived, it was already completely dark.
......
"Coming?"
When Lu Heng saw the person coming, he greeted him.
Xian Qing nodded, then closed the door and walked in.
When I came in, I saw Chen Xi and Qiao Ya helping Bai Xindi wipe her body.
So he walked to the bedside and looked quietly at Bai Xindie who was wearing a ventilator in front of him.
Waiting for Chen Xi and Qiao Ya to finish wiping their bodies.
Xian Qing looked at the tired faces of the others and said, "You guys go back first. I'll be on guard today."
Several people did not refuse because they knew that Xian Qing might be the one who could not accept it the most.
If it was their beloved one lying here at this moment, they couldn't guarantee that they could do the same as Xian Qing.
After the three of them packed up their things, they opened the door and went out.
The moment Qiao Ya closed the door, she saw Xian Qing taking off his disguise.
After the three of them left, Xian Qing couldn't help but half-kneel down, holding the white heart flute with both hands while inserting the needle, holding the instrument with his hands, lowering his head, and crying like a child.
He endured for a long time, so long that he didn't know how he drove over smoothly, so long that he didn't know how he spoke to others in the calmest tone, so long that he thought she just hid because she didn't want to involve him.
So long that...he thought it was all a dream he had on the plane.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Xian Qing's voice finally rang out.
"Bai Xindi, you said you would...wait for me."
However, the only response he received was the increasingly loud sound of rain outside the window and the sound of machinery running.
