Nepotism

Ning Xuan looked at Grandpa who was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed and said: "What I heard compared to what Grandpa heard, but at that time I was young and ignorant, and I felt wronged, and I didn't even have class. I ran back home if I didn’t go there. Fortunately, Lingshui is a small place, and my home is close to the school. If it were a big city like City S or City B, I’m afraid I’d just get lost.”

Qi Lan didn't expect Ning Xuan to comfort herself in such a half-joking way, "What happened later?"

"Later, I threw myself into Grandpa's arms and began to cry. I kept asking Grandpa what I did wrong, why everyone hated me, and if so, why did my mother give birth to me?"

"What did Grandpa say?" Qi Lan asked.

"Grandpa just said, Mom loves me, and he loves me too. As for the others, maybe I was too young to remember, or maybe because I was young, Grandpa didn't say much at all." Ning Xuan stood up and walked to the bed Before I squatted down, I put Grandpa's hand on my cheek, "Later, when I became sensible, Grandpa continued to talk about this topic. One year, on Qingming, Grandpa took me to visit my mother's grave early in the morning. Grandpa said He felt sorry for his daughter at the time, and once asked my mother seriously if she wanted to keep this child. Although my mother didn't know people and loved the wrong person, I was not guilty of the accident. If she chose to stay, the child's surname Ning, is the child of their Ning family, and has nothing to do with other people. No matter how hard or tired they are, they will raise them up by themselves. If they choose not to, grandpa can understand. After all, my mother is still young, and there is still a long way to go. He'll support it no matter what."

"But mother still chose to give birth to you." Qi Lan stood behind Ning Xuan, stroking her hair lightly.

"Yes, Grandpa said. My mother gave an upright answer without a moment's hesitation. She said that I was her child, it was her responsibility, and it was also the price she had to pay for her mistakes. Of course, the more important thing is , God sent me to her side, she hoped that I could see this world with my own eyes." Ning Xuan said, tears slipped quietly, dripping on Grandpa's open palm, she turned to look into Qi Lan's eyes, that The eyes were as black as ink but full of affection, Ning Xuan said softly, "So, I was born with love, right?"

Qi Lan squatted down and put her head next to the head. The two of them got together, "Of course, you were born with love. Mom loves you, grandpa loves you, brother loves you, and I love you too."

Qi Lan gently kissed the corner of Ning Xuan's eyes and wiped away her tears.

"It would be great if you could give me more time." Ning Xuan raised her head and looked at her grandfather, "I haven't officially introduced you to Grandpa, and I haven't even told him that I have someone I like. People, people I love, this time is different and I will be with her for the rest of my life.”

As Ning Xuan said, she buried her face in her palm, regret and regret filled her heart.

"Even if you blame me or scold me, I really want to tell my grandpa the most important thing and the most important person."

"Grandpa, he won't blame you, nor will he scold you." Qi Lan said softly.

Ning Xuan wiped away her tears, "You don't need to comfort me."

Qi Lan shook her head, "I'm not comforting you, do you still remember the concert I held in S City?"

Ning Xuan nodded.

"I came to S City in advance to prepare, so I came to Lingshui. It just so happened that I met Grandpa on the campus of your alma mater, Chongyang High School." Qi Lan said.

Ning Xuan was a little astonished. After all, it had been a few months since this happened, and it was the first time she heard it from Qi Lan. She was afraid that Qi Lan would just try to comfort herself with words because of this situation.

"You think I'm lying to you?" Qi Lan smiled.

Ning Xuan did not answer.

Qi Lan touched Ning Xuan's cheek, "I won't lie to you, never will, I really met Grandpa in Lingshui, and went to your house Xuanxuan, you and Grandpa's house faces south, The floor is log-colored, and there is a row of flower stands near the window, all of which are magnolias, because this is your mother's favorite flower when she was alive, am I right?"

Yes, a word is right.

Although the old house is slightly mottled, because of the good orientation of her and grandpa’s house, warm light always shines through the windows and spread out on the ground, with log-colored floors, beige wall paint, and flower stands made by grandpa himself. Topped with magnolias.

Qi Lan continued, "I confessed our relationship with Grandpa. Of course, Grandpa guessed it long ago. He asked me the same thing. Is there anything I want to tell him? I thought about it and thought I did. I want to Tell him I love his granddaughter and I want to take care of her and love her for the rest of my life if I can."

Ning Xuan's eyes gradually became moist.

"After hearing this, Grandpa was stunned for a while, but soon laughed. He told me that there is no need to feel sorry. He also said that you were brought up by him. You will not do wrong things, and you will not do bad things. We should not love each other just because you love each other. And feel sorry for who."

After Ning Xuan finished listening, she turned around and looked in the direction of her grandfather.

"He's actually waiting for you to tell him." Qi Lan said and pulled Ning Xuan away from her side, and the two of them stood upright in front of Mr. Ning's hospital bed. "I think Grandpa must be able to hear it. We can now Tell him to reassure him."

Ning Xuan bowed her head and wept uncontrollably, she stood by Qi Lan's side.

She actually heard the conversation between the doctor and her brother. Grandfather's hope of surviving is very slim. Although his heart is still beating, can the unconscious grandpa really hear his own words?Ning Xuan didn't know, and neither did Qi Lan.

"Grandpa, I'm Qi Lan. We met in Lingshui." Qi Lan said, holding Ning Xuan's hand.

"Grandpa, I'm Xuanxuan, and I'm back." Ning Xuan's voice was a little choked up, and no matter how calm she was, she couldn't suppress the trembling of her voice, "Grandpa, when you left City B, didn't you ask me if you had anything to say? I want to tell you, Grandpa, I have."

This is really different from what Ning Xuan thought, she should take Qi Lan back to her warm home with her grandpa, and then confess her love affair in the warmth of a lifetime, instead of here, grandpa lying unconscious on the bed , surrounded by snow-white walls that are common in hospitals, the slightly irritating smell of medicine is vaguely absent, the moonlight is bright and clear, and it is unusually quiet.

Ning Xuan choked up and said: "Grandpa, I fell in love with a person, a girl. Although she may be different from ordinary people and may be destined to bear the strange eyes of others, I feel very happy. I know that I love her. She loves her." Love me too, we will be with each other for the rest of our lives..."

Ning Xuan couldn't speak any more, she nestled in Qi Lan's arms.

Qi Lan hugged her and said softly to Grandpa: "Don't worry, I won't let her be alone. I will help you, your daughter, Xuanxuan's mother, and take good care of her."

The originally stable ECG detector suddenly fluctuated, and the line that symbolized life gradually became flatter and tended to a straight line.

"Grandpa, Grandpa." Ning Xuan cried and fell to the side of the bed.

The nurse heard the voice inside, opened the door and came in. Seeing that the detector was abnormal, she quickly pushed the two out, and hurriedly called someone to call the doctor.

Just as Ou Hong walked around the corner with dinner, he heard hurried footsteps from afar.

He saw that the place where people were coming and going happened to be Mr. Ning's ward, so he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and ran over there.

"Surgery immediately, quickly."

Many doctors and nurses rushed to push Mr. Ning into the operating room.

Ning Xuan felt that her eyes went dark, and she fell directly behind.

Qi Lan hurriedly hugged him, and Ou Hong also took a step forward, which allowed the two of them to stand firm.

When Ning Xuan opened her eyes again, the night was still dark. She looked around and found that she was still in the ward, the room was not lit, it was dark, and the curtains were drawn, even the moonlight had been blocked up.

Ning Xuan could barely distinguish a crouching shadow beside her.

Don't think about it, it must be Qi Lan.

Ning Xuan felt a little stiff in her body and moved a little. She did not expect her movements to be as gentle as possible, but it still disturbed Qi Lan and woke her up.

"You're awake." Qi Lan's eyes sparkled. She immediately got up and reached out to touch Ning Xuan's head. After Ning Xuan fainted before, she developed a high fever. After seeing it, the doctor said it was a normal physiological phenomenon. alright.

The doctor's words were really good. Qi Lan reached out and touched Tan Ningxuan's forehead. The tentacles were cool, and it seemed that she should be much better.

The movement of the two people also alarmed another person in the room. Someone on the sofa at the side got up and stepped forward. When Ning Xuan got closer, she could tell that this person was her brother Ou Hong.

It's not surprising that Qi Lan guarded her.

But even Ou Hong, who should be guarding grandpa, is here...

Ning Xuan's eyes were a little moist unconsciously.

Qi Lan couldn't see clearly, but her hand was stroking Ning Xuan's cheek, and the warm liquid slipped down. Qi Lan knew that Ning Xuan was crying.

"Where's my grandfather?" Ning Xuan asked hoarsely.

The room was silent, neither Qi Lan nor Ou Hong answered.

"Is he not here?" Ning Xuan asked.

Ou Hong patted Qi Lan on the shoulder, turned around and opened the door to go out. He felt that it would be safer to leave this kind of matter to Qi Lan. Ou Hong wanted to smoke when he walked outside the door, but when he held it in his hand, he suddenly realized that smoking is prohibited here.

Why do you always forget, Ou Hong laughed at himself and put away the cigarette.

"Ning Xuan, grandpa is gone. He suffered a cardiac arrest last night. Although he recovered for a while after being rescued, he was no longer there this afternoon." Qi Lan explained.

"Grandpa, have you woken up? Do you have anything to say to me?" Ning Xuan's tears couldn't stop falling, and no matter how much Qi Lan wiped them, she couldn't wipe them clean.

Qi Lan felt like a sponge was stuck in her throat, and she really couldn't bear to tell Ning Xuan this in person.

"Grandpa has not regained consciousness, and he has nothing left to say. The doctor said that Grandpa's body functions were barely maintained before. In fact, it can be judged that he is brain dead. However, the doctor said that the old man walked peacefully and fell asleep all the time. There will be no harm. Too much pain." Qi Lan said that in the end, she couldn't restrain herself and shed tears.

There was only Ning Xuan crying in the room, Qi Lan didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only lie down next to Ning Xuan, tightly wrapping her in her arms.

Ning Xuan has been trembling slightly, even if she is hugged by Qi Lan.
