Wanderer

After waiting for nearly two months, the application of modern medical technology in Baikang has finally come to an end. Life is like a lamp. No matter how much the wick is continued, it will burn out one day.

Perhaps this death has been rehearsed for too long. When the day approached, everyone was extremely calm. During the meeting, Bai Yue and Bai Yunqi received a call from the hospital, and the attending doctor at the other end said that it had already begun No matter how many rescues, the situation is not optimistic. If the family members need anything, it is best to come here as soon as possible.Bai Yunqi thanked him lightly and looked at Bai Yue. Bai Yue also put down his mobile phone and stared blankly at a cloud outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Going up, he will be one step closer to the sky. There is Peter Pan's Neverland, where there is no birth, old age, sickness and death. , everyone can't learn to be sad and melancholy, love openly and smile brightly, as long as you have hope in your heart, there will really be hope.

The cloud gradually dispersed, and clusters of fluff flew around, and then lost its shape in a blink of an eye. Whoever said it, the colorful clouds are easy to disperse and the glass shatters.

"This merger plan must be finalized today." Bai Yue straightened his collar against the reflection, did not look at the expression on Bai Yunqi's face, turned around and strode back into the meeting room, and the people standing outside the door heard her In a calm and vigorous tone: "Sorry, it's a little personal matter, let's continue the meeting."

At the end of the meeting, Bai Yunqi habitually helped clean up the messy conference room. Whoever knocked over the coffee cup during the desertion did not know how to clean it up. The assistant who sorted out the files exclaimed, and hurriedly pulled out a stack of wet reports from the file folder. The coffee stains had already splashed on the light-colored skirt, Bai Yunqi walked over and handed over a tissue, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and said, "Let me do it."

Bai Yue, who was still sitting at the end of the conference table annotating the meeting minutes, looked up and glanced over there, but did not speak, the pen ball on the notebook slipped

In the conference room with more than a dozen people, only the Bai family siblings were left, and they were all doing their own things in a leisurely manner. After cleaning the table, Bai Yunqi looked through the stack of documents that had been splashed with coffee. Once again, I found that there were still some commercial confidential things on it, so it was not good to just throw it away. I was going to check the page numbers and take it down to the shredder for processing.

Bai Yue walked over, sat on a chair beside him and looked at him quietly, and said after a while: "Have you thought about what to do in the future?"

"It's time to go back to Tongcheng." There was no hesitation in this answer.

Bai Yue persuaded; "There's nothing wrong with staying here. If you think it's too awkward to work with me at the headquarters, the branch in Shuifeng District also needs people. It happens that the main responsibility there is financing..."

"President Bo... Director Bai." Bai Yunqi interrupted her, "From your point of view, you can get some convenience and progress in work by keeping me in a short period of time, but when these things pass After the development has entered a stable period again, my identity and controllable shares are hidden dangers in your eyes, but I have established a firm foothold at that time, and it will not be as easy to drive me out as it is now. Compared with keeping me Long-term suspicion and worry in the future, what you have to face now is nothing more than rumors about your inhumanity or some scruples about your own morality."

Bai Yue suddenly smiled, nodded and said: "You continue to analyze and analyze for me."

"From my point of view, one, it's not that I don't love money and power. On the contrary, I may be more controlling than you. If you don't give me the opportunity to master Kangyue resources, I won't take the initiative to grab them, but if you give me With my convenience, I can never guarantee that I can live on the one-acre-three-point land that you have divided for me. You should know that if there is a competitive relationship between us, I will be a disgusting and unscrupulous opponent. Two..." In just half a second, his originally sharp and indifferent expression suddenly softened, and even his voice softened a lot, "Second, my lover must stay in Tongcheng because of work. After six years in different places, it was hard to live together again, I really don’t want to endure another long-term separation between the two places...these two months are already enough torment.”

Bai Yue, whose complexion had already sunk, laughed loudly when he heard the last sentence, and after laughing, he said curiously: "I'm suddenly a little curious about who your lover is, and how can you be so devoted to him?"

Bai Yunqi asked nonchalantly, "Didn't you investigate him before?"

"I just asked this question because of the investigation." Bai Yue did not hide his taboo, "I have read some basic information on him, I didn't find a picture of his appearance, so I don't want to comment, other than that, his family background is very good, but the rest There doesn't seem to be anything too brilliant about it... Oh yes, he should be considered very capable in his industry, but the work of the two of you has almost no intersection, and... IMHO, from a purely utilitarian From a standpoint, his job is pretty hopeless."

Bai Yunqi: "From a purely utilitarian point of view, I think what you said makes sense, but from my personal emotional point of view, I really want to throw things and leave now."

Park Hyatt was surprised; "Wow, it turns out that you also talk to me with personal emotions. Just now I thought it was a K-800 standing in front of me."

Although he knew there was no malicious intent in saying this, Bai Yunqi still shook his head speechlessly, as if to say whatever you want - on this point, he has indeed received Wen Hai's true biography.

Bai Yue, who let out a squib, persisted and asked: "So what does he look like? Can't you just satisfy a woman's gossip? I'm your sister. According to the rules of my hometown, you don't care whether you marry me or not." Whether she gets married or married, I have to shut him down."

Knocking the folder in his hand on the table, Bai Yunqi said with a bit of connivance and helplessness: "He is a very gentle-looking person but inexplicably makes people feel fierce. When I first met him, I thought he was If you want to hit me, you almost kneel in fright."

"How old were you when you first met him?"

"eighteen."

"...Oh, then you said that you two have been together for seven or eight years." Bai Yue opened his eyes wide, "You got someone at the age of 19?!"

Bai Yunqi had a more smug look on his face, and smiled a little, as a tacit consent.

"Apart from appearance?" Bai Yue asked, "What's his personality? Does he treat you well?"

"He has a terrible personality outside... a workaholic, inhumane, sarcastic remarks every day and no enthusiasm for life. He is obviously in poor health, but he always likes to do things that have nothing to do with death." Bai Yunqi spread his hands, "Basically belongs to me. If you don't want him The kind that will end up alone forever?"

Bai Yue counted with his fingers: "Well, workaholic, inhuman, sarcastic, no enthusiasm for life...Brother, are you sure you're not talking about yourself?"

"..." Bai Yunqi tapped on the armrest with his fingertips, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if caught in some soft memory, "Yeah, so we can only harm each other."

Bai Yue said "hmm", and his originally lively expression suddenly fell silent. Bai Yunqi watched her turn on her laptop, did not enter the operation page, but just stared at the screen saver of a landscape photo in a daze.The wall clock in the meeting room rang "tick-tick-tick". After more than a dozen rings, she didn't turn her head and said, "You go to the hospital first. I still have some work to do here. A big client came from abroad today. You can't leave people here."

Bai Yunqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Chairman Bai."

"Xiao Qi," Bai Yue's voice was suppressed and calm, and he was a little trembling when he listened carefully, but in the end he was calm and calm, "Go and lie to him, I beg you, he is damned, but he Really dying."

No matter how much he hated, no matter how much he complained, no matter how much he couldn't let go, no matter how late he was, he was really going to die after all.

The members of Bokang's family waited outside the door as if they had made an agreement. Boyue was still talking and laughing happily with clients in the company. Bai Xiaoying and Bai Xiaolong came and cried too much. After seeing Bokang Afterwards, Xue Yanmei was asked to find a nanny to carry her away. Bai Yunqi did not stop her, and stood at the door of the ward, listening to the sound of crying getting farther and farther away from her.Xue Yanmei's eyes changed from disgust to impatience and finally turned into an absurd smile like his. She stared at Bai Yunqi, a bit like "the same people who have fallen in the end of the world". She walked up to him and stretched her hand to his face superior.

Thanks to Bo Yunqi, except for a few properties and deposits, she has almost nothing left in Bai Kang's will.For a moment, Bai Yunqi thought he would be beaten, but he didn't really want to hide. The so-called mother's debt was repaid, but he and Shu Hanwei still owed this woman.

Unexpectedly, Xue Meiyan just patted his face, and the neatly manicured nails left a few fleeting white marks on his face. She said in a trance, "You are a bit like A Kang when you were young."

Bai Yunqi didn't move, it was like an ordinary mother-child intimacy between the two.

"Where's your mother?" Xue Yanmei asked him, without waiting for his answer, she said to herself, "You haven't seen her for a long time, right?"

When he nodded, Bai Yunqi felt a little bit of grievance. He hadn't thought of Shu Hanwei in the past few years. He was just mentioned by the person in front of him. In the deepest and deepest place, another insignificant clamor began.

"It's a poor child." Xue Yanmei touched his hair again. What she saw in her eyes was not Bai Yunqi, but the young Bai Kang, and the dream of "I love you all my life". After waking up, she might be dissatisfied with her gaffe, so she added in a cold voice, "But it deserves it."

Bai Yunqi was noncommittal, and he thought so too.

The nurse came over again and again to say that the patient wanted his family members to go in, but Xue Yanmei refused to enter the ward. Naturally, Bai Yunqi would not go over her and force her to come forward. After a while, the nurse simply started naming names and shouting: "Bo Yunqi, who is Bai Yunqi?" ? The patient wants to see you."

Xue Yanmei suddenly sneered, picked up her bag and walked out.

Bai Yunqi, who was hanging there alone, had no choice but to respond, and before he had time to defend himself, he was pushed inside by the nurse, who was impatient and muttered: "Why do you treat someone as a son? Say a few words to let the old man Wouldn't it be safe to leave?"

Bokang was lying on the hospital bed, he could only breathe out but not inhale, his rough and stinging hands curled up into chicken feet, the light in the ward was dim, Bo Yunqi could only see his blue eyes, cloudy Like stagnant water that has been standing for many years, it is covered with a layer of blood-colored mist.

He also stared at Bai Yunqi, opening and closing his mouth. After Bai Yunqi got closer and heard his words clearly, the man was calling "Weiwei".

"Sorry." Bai Yunqi said in a business-like tone, "I can't contact Shu Hanwei at the moment."

Maybe Bai Kang didn't hear his words clearly, maybe he couldn't hear him at all, he was still calling Shu Hanwei's nickname, his eyes were fixed on Bai Yunqi's face, he raised his hand tremblingly, waiting for Bai Yunqi to bow down The lower body moved his face closer, and he touched along the contour of the brow bone, two strings of teardrops suddenly fell down, probably seeing the shadow of Shu Hanwei from the face of the person in front of him.

Bai Yunqi wanted to stand up straight, but his hand was pulled. This time he didn't try to break free, even though the force that grabbed his cuff was negligible, he thought that if Bo Kang called "Wei Wei" again, he would He simply responded for Shu Hanwei.

Unexpectedly, Bokang regained his sanity and said, "Xiao Qi, you are here."

Pulling over the chair beside him, Bo Yunqi sat on the edge of the hospital bed with one hand clutched by Bo Kang, "Well, they may not be able to come."

"It's right not to come." Bokang said, "Everyone is mortal, and the living should do their own things well first."

Bai Yunqi thought to himself, then why did you call me over? Do I look like I have nothing to do?Thinking this way, he simply asked directly: "What did you call me here for?"

Before Bai Kang could reply, Bai Yunqi glanced at a book on the bedside table out of the corner of his eye. He had seen the familiar cover many times in Wen Hai's hands, that "The Postman Always Rings Twice".

"Do you also like to read this book?" He slowly picked up the book and flipped through a few pages, "Although I really don't want you two to get involved, Wen Hai also likes to read this book."

There was a commotion in the corridor, and then someone cried hysterically.

"Listen," Bai Yunqi said, "the postman always rings the bell twice, and in the end, no one can escape."

"Xiao Qi, do you believe that people have a next life?"

"Believe it when you're with Wenhai." Bai Yunqi looked at him, flipping the book in his hand to the end, "But thinking of you, I don't want to have any. We owe a lot of bad debts in this life and pay it off. If there is another life, it will be too hopeless."

Bokang moved his lips a few times, and suddenly started to twitch. The vital signs detection equipment was beeping crazily, and the well-trained doctors and nurses who had been prepared for a long time filed in. Bai Yunqi retreated to the back, and the nurse turned her head impatiently: "Family members, please leave first!"

Bai Yunqi couldn't wait to leave, so he walked out immediately, ignoring Xue Yanmei when he went out, squatting in the stairwell of the fire escape, and called Wen Hai, when the moon rose to the top of the building, there was still only "hmm" He let out a sound to show that he was listening, and Bai Yunqi huddled in the corner and listened to the person on the other end turning the pages of the book. On the loudspeaker was an English song with a single track, and the lyrics said that lonely people are shameful.

Fortunately, there is still one person in this world who doesn’t need to waste his time describing those emotions after whitewashing peace—in view of human self-righteousness and self-deception, all emotions that can be expressed in words are lies that cover the truth. We shouldn't expect anyone's understanding in exchange.

"What are you reading?"

"Old Things in the South of the City." Wen Hai said, "Read it to you?"

Bai Yunqi closed his eyes tiredly, and said softly, "Okay."

"'The newly built auditorium is full of people; our graduates are sitting in the first eight rows, and I am sitting in the middle seat in the front row...'" Wen Hai's voice should be nice, but I smoked too much, it was sandy and heavy, and when I raised my voice a little, it meant breaking a gong. Now I read it in a low voice, but it has a different kind of comforting meaning, "'...I cried, we graduates all Cried. How much we love to grow taller and become adults, and how afraid we are! When we go back to elementary school, no matter how tall and how big we grow...'”

"'Papa's flowers have fallen, and I'm no longer a child.'"

The children's laughter sounded downstairs, and Bai Yunqi suddenly felt sad. He remembered the dream a few days ago, and remembered a woman singing to him, singing "The windows are full of green when spring comes, and the big girl embroiders mandarin ducks under the windows", even Thinking of Shu Hanwei's trembling "Hey", she agreed so easily, as if it was what he deserved.He pressed his eye sockets hard, and heard the nurse calling through the fire door, "Bo Yunqi, where is Bai Yunqi, the patient wants to see you."

"I'm in the ward." He stood up as he spoke, without trying to hide his trembling voice.

Wen Hai is silent, he is not good at playing the role of consolation, more often when the sky is falling, he carries it, and when he carries it, he has no energy to think about his own trivial things, it seems that everyone knows how tired he is Difficulties, everyone is persuading him not to be wronged, not to be sad, to rest and live well, but no one has ever told him what to do with the falling sky if he lets go.Yes, the big deal is that everyone will die together, and if he dies, he will be blamed for not being able to persevere. The so-called pillar and taker are actually the same role, it is nothing more than whether it is done beautifully or not.

It's just that he feels that now that he has reached such a situation, Bai Yunqi should live a more relaxed and happy life. He was taught by his father, mother, mother, and Mr. Yang, so he can't bully others too much.

"Don't hang up the phone." Wen Hai finally said, "Just treat it as me accompanying you."

In the next few hours, Bai Yunqi sat beside Bai Kang's hospital bed. After the last rescue, the man was no longer visible, and the doctor also said that there was no possibility or necessity of recovery, so he sent the old man away. Peace of mind is the top priority.

Whether the heart is at ease or not is actually a matter of the living, and the dying person, no matter how at ease or uneasy, will not delay when it is time to leave.

Bokang's foggy eyes persistently pursued the direction of Bai Yunqi, his consciousness was also confused, and he told him stories upside down, about his own business, about his brilliance, and about his sins, and finally he Speaking of Shu Hanwei, it’s not the crazy woman who wears heavy makeup and rolls around. The Shu Hanwei in his story is still a rose-like girl, lively and charming, with a lingering laughter, loves to sing and dance, and eats rice krispies. They met in the On the day of the first snow, falling in love on the day of Lixia, it happened that the roses downstairs were in full bloom on that day, there was fate and there was fate, there was romance and romance. At that time, Bokang was the man who played the piano and gambled on love poems on a moonlit night, and Shu Hanwei was also dressed in broken clothes. A girl in a flower skirt dancing cha-cha on a frozen wild lake.

All his remaining love and hatred were given to that girl, and it would end so tragically.

Bai Yunqi just listened, and never answered, and he was not qualified to answer, after all, the turning point of this romantic story was his own appearance.

At the end, Bokang opened his eyes blankly and touched Bai Yunqi's face, starting from the forehead, stroking the eyebrows and eye sockets, then the cheekbones and lips, and stopping on the shoulders, he patted it with all his strength , categorically concluded: "Be good, my good son."

The electrocardiogram moved up and down a few times and then returned to an endless straight line. The sharp beeping sound covered Bai Yunqi's extremely low answer. Slowly squatting down with his head in his arms, there were no tears in his eyes, but Bokang's last slap was so heavy that he couldn't stand up, his chest was blocked by his unspoken words, and the thin air was squeezed into the gaps in his lungs , Trying to suffocate people beyond their means, yet retaining a glimmer of life.

Xue Yanmei broke in, walked to the bed, burst into tears, and Bai Yue also walked over step by step, without crying, her shoulders trembled more and more, and the soft leather bag in her hand was crumpled into the shape of waste paper .

"Dad." Bai Yunqi looked out the window, "It's too late."

Day is coming.

The author has something to say:

Thank you all.Today's double update, there is another chapter in the future, don't miss it.

Bokang is actually quite an interesting and contradictory character. It's a pity that I didn't write it well.
