When leaving, Huo Qiran saw Jing Li again.

At that time, he sat in the car left for him by Mu Qian, and when he turned to look out the window, he happened to see Jing Li standing on the bus stop.

Xixi lay on her shoulder, as if she was asleep, while she held Xixi with one hand and her cell phone with the other, looking down at something.

The driver was not fast, but the scene outside the car flashed by. Before Huo Qiran could see the expression on her face clearly, she had already disappeared into the scenery behind her.

Huo Qiran couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and withdrew his gaze, and finally he just breathed helplessly.

When he returned home, Huo Jinxi's car had just driven into the garage. The father and son walked into the mansion together. Mu Qian, who was sitting on the sofa and making a phone call, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, "Have you been back so early?"

Huo Jinxi looked at his watch, "Is it early?"

"Ask your son." Mu Qian glanced at Huo Jinxi, but suddenly remembered something again, and stood up to greet him, "Huo Jinxi, I'll tell you something, you must keep calm!"

Huo Qiran suddenly noticed something, "Mom!"

But Mu Qian just pretended not to hear it, pulled Huo Jinxi and said it was a bombshell: "You are grandpa!"

Perhaps the word "grandfather" is still a bit exciting. Huo Jinxi's eyebrows moved slightly, then raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Huo Qiran, "Is that so? That's a big surprise."

"That's not it!" Mu Qian said, "I was shocked when the little girl rushed out to call him dad today! Fortunately, our granddaughter's round little face is quite pleasing, and I like it too..."

As she said that, she turned to Huo Qiran again, "Why did you make a clear decision so quickly? Who will raise the child in the future? Do we need to pay for living expenses? How many days can we take care of the child in a week?"

Huo Qiran was really helpless and replied in cooperation: "The children are still raised by them, and you don't have to pay for the living expenses, and you don't have to take care of the children. You should live as you should."

"cut."

Mu Qian snorted, turned around and told Huo Jinxi about the situation today, and Huo Jinxi couldn't help laughing.

After talking, Mu Qian remembered something again, "Have you ever asked her why she could do such hard odd jobs?"

Huo Qiran nodded, "But she doesn't seem to want to say much, so I didn't ask much."

"What might have happened to the family," Mu Qian thought, touching her chin, "But looking at her spirit, it doesn't seem like she has experienced some major changes. Her eyes are always bright and her smile is sweet. It shouldn't have changed much compared to the past, right?"

Huo Qiran couldn't help but think carefully about Jing Li's appearance in high school. It seemed that there was no big change from what he saw today. He still had bright eyes and was still cheerful and loved to smile.

But after all, I feel something is missing.

It seems like there is something more.

...

Jing Li took Xixi and took the bus for nearly an hour before finally coming to a hospital in the north of the city.

Xixi slept all the way, but she still didn't wake up when she entered the hospital. Jingli hugged her all the way.

The security guard at the door and the nurse at the nurse station greeted her. Jingli responded with a smile and hugged Xixi into the room at the end of the corridor.

The hospital has been around for a while, and it is facing north again. There are tall trees outside the window covering it, making it look darker.

Jing Li entered the door and placed the sleeping Xixi on the empty hospital bed next door. Then he walked to the window and tried hard to open the window. Then he turned around, picked up the plastic basin under the hospital bed and walked into the bathroom.

Soon she carried a basin of warm water, took a towel and returned to the edge of the hospital bed, put the towel in the warm water, soaked it and wrung it out, and wiped the person lying on the hospital bed.

"Mom, it's still early today. Xixi and I will accompany you to have supper before going back."

The person on the hospital bed was motionless, his eyes lying there closed, without a trace of response.

Jingli carefully wiped every part of her body while talking to her in a narrative way—

"This job is not easy to do today. The weather is too hot. I was sweating all over as soon as I got into that doll suit. It was so uncomfortable. I don't want to do it anymore."

"But the boss is reluctant to let me go. He even praised me for doing a good job and wanted me to stay with me for a raise of my salary. But I still told him that I would find a more relaxed job tomorrow."

"I have something to do today and I don't have time to take Xixi, so I can only take her to work with me. Fortunately, she is very obedient and didn't make trouble for me. But she just called people dad again today."

"Guess who the person she called is? It's Huo Qiran! Mom, do you remember? I mentioned him to you before. It was a boy in the next class in high school.

"I haven't seen him for three years, and I thought I might never have the chance to meet him again in this life."

"He doesn't seem to have changed much, he's still tall, thin... and handsome! By the way, I also met his mother! His mother is Mu Qian! I didn't know that he was actually a child of the Huo family before! I didn't think that when I knew, I realized that he and his father were just carved from the same mold! But their temperaments are not the same, but they are not very similar to their mothers. They should have neutralized their parents' advantages..."

"He also helped me take Xixi for more than half an hour. He was as careful and patient as he was in high school, and he was very warm... It is rare for a family like the Huo family to raise such a boy, right? His parents must be very good people."

“…so, he is so good.”

“He is really good.”

"He will definitely be better in the future..."

...

Jingli stayed in the hospital until after nine o'clock, and then took Xixi on the way home again.

Xixi was awake, but after getting off the subway, she still relied on her arms and refused to walk. Jingli hugged the little girl all the way to the door.

To be precise, it is the doorstep of my uncle's house.

Jingli stood at the door and was about to enter the password when the door was suddenly opened from inside.

My aunt Duan Shan was about to go out to throw the garbage when she saw her at the door, she threw the garbage bag at her feet, turned around and entered the house again.

Jing Li wanted to put Xixi down and throw the garbage away, but Xixi refused to come down. She could only hold Xixi in one hand and walk towards the garbage room with the garbage bag in one hand.

My uncle, aunt, and cousin's family of three were implicated in their family's affairs back then. They changed from a 200-square-meter-meter-old house to a small house of more than 80-square-meter-meter-old house, and also accommodated their aunt and nephew to live in the smallest room. Jingli was very content.

When she returned to the room, she put Xixi down, and Xixi immediately ran back to her room.
