This was a race against the Grim Reaper.
In the emergency room.
More than a dozen medical staff were doing their best to save him. Sweat seeped out of their foreheads.
an hour
Two hours…
...
It was dawn.
The sun slowly climbed out of the horizon, dyeing the camera in red.
At the same time, the lifeline on the heart and lung monitor stopped permanently.
The attending physician dragged his tired body and slowly left the emergency room. Before he left, he expressed his deep regret.
"I'm sorry, we've tried our best.”
...
When the trolley covered in a white cloth slowly exited the emergency room.
Everyone seemed to have lost all their strength at this moment.
Dad Xia clenched his fists tightly. He was the pillar of this family. Anyone could fall, but he couldn't.
Even though his eyes were red, he did not let his tears fall.
As for Mother Xia.
Tears were already streaming down her face.
Xia Lianlian comforted her mother, but she cried harder than anyone else!
Xia Keke did not cry.
He did not make a fuss.
She followed behind the cart silently.
He didn't say a word.
And Cao Shengming.
He followed behind her silently.
At 2 PM that day.
The funeral car arrived at the hospital and sent the old man to the crematorium.
The staff there helped the old man tidy up his clothes so that he could bid farewell to the world in a dignified manner.
Xia Keke followed behind the funeral car.
Just like that, he walked and walked.
She did not stop until the car disappeared from her sight.
She walked to the crematorium.
Then, she sat beside the old man. She wanted to lift the white cloth, but she didn't have the courage.
Cao Shengming looked at her.
However, he could not find any words to comfort her.
A long time ago.
He had also experienced this kind of life and death separation. He knew very well that the comfort of others was useless.
Time.
It was the best bitter medicine.
4 PM.
Dad Xia brought over the old man's clothes.
It was a green military uniform.
Although many parts of it had been washed and faded, it still looked clean and tidy.
Other than that.
He also brought an exquisite box.
Inside the box.
It was filled with dozens of medals of various sizes.
Cao Shengming thought.
Those were probably the glory that the old man had once created.
Cao Shengming returned the train ticket that he had already bought.
He also told the others about this matter. He needed to explain the reason for his stay. This was his responsibility to everyone.
Dad Xia wanted to bring his daughter home.
However, Xia Keke did not move at all.
In the end.
Cao Shengming stayed behind to accompany her.
Until late at night.
It was not until the crematorium staff helplessly expressed that they needed to close the door that she got up and walked back home.
...
At home.
Everyone was sitting in the living room. Silent sadness filled the living room that was filled with laughter just yesterday.
Xia Keke returned to her room.
Then, he locked himself up.
He went to the balcony.
She realized that it was raining outside. It was drizzling.
The raindrops fell on the ground, splashing and shattering.
Just like her heart.
...
Cao Shengming sat in the living room for the entire night.
But she never came out.
The next day.
Cao Shengming received a call from Luo Li. They had also rushed to Luo City.
Even though they weren't familiar with Xia Keke.
But sometimes.
Whether they were familiar with each other or not was just a matter of concept.
In the afternoon.
He received another call.
Jiang Chen and Luo Bin had also arrived at Luoyang City.
At night.
He received two more calls.
Lu Xiaoqi.
Jiang Lai.
Although they might not have met Xia Keke before, empathy between people was often more important than knowing each other.
...
In the live broadcast room.
Someone recorded those medals and found their origins.
...
Very quickly.
Someone called the old man a hero on the bullet screen.
There were also people who expressed their silence in their own way.
But one thing was certain.
The usually lively and indecent live broadcast room maintained the same sadness at this moment.
It was another late night.
Cao Shengming finally walked into the room and heated up a bowl of porridge.
He placed it gently on the table.
Meanwhile, Xia Keke was still staring at the ceiling.
Cao Shengming didn't know how to persuade her, but he felt a little heartache.
She was clearly a very cheerful girl.
On the third day.
The funeral began.
Everyone rushed to the scene of the funeral.
Dad Xia's family.
Cao Shengming.
Luo Li, Gua Mei, Jiang Chen, Luo Bin, Lu Xiaoqi, Jiang Lai, and many other strangers.
Cao Shengming didn't know them.
However, they said that they were all viewers of the live broadcast room and were relatively close to each other, so they rushed over.
Cao Shengming thanked them.
Dad Xia also expressed his gratitude to them.
10:30 in the morning.
The old man finally bid farewell to this world.
Mother Xia sobbed.
Dad Xia, on the other hand, held her up from the beginning to the end, not letting her fall, and not letting himself fall.
As for Xia Keke.
She was just like yesterday.
She did not cry.
He did not speak.
She just hugged the small jar tightly and refused to let go.
...
Time slowly passed.
Everyone had their own things to do.
Lu Xiaoqi and Jiang Lai returned to Linhai City after the funeral, and the others left one after another.
Luo Li, Gua Mei, Jiang Chen, and the others stayed in Luoyang City, waiting for Cao Shengming to leave with them.
At night.
Xia Keke walked out of the room for the first time.
Dad Xia wanted to follow her but was stopped by Xu Cuili.
In the end.
It was still Cao Shengming who followed.
She walked for a long time.
Cao Shengming began to doubt his life. In the end, she walked to a deserted ruin and squatted down.
The moonlight enveloped the land.
The ruins were dyed white.
And then,
She cried.
She cried without warning.
Her crying caught everyone off guard.
And it was the kind of heart-wrenching wailing.
Cao Shengming rushed forward to comfort her, but she hugged him. Then, Cao Shengming felt that his clothes were all wet.
Until…
She lost all her strength and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Cao Shengming didn't know how much effort he had put into carrying her to the hospital.
He didn't know how many cars he had stopped on the deserted road.
Only then did one of them stop and take them to the hospital.
He only knew.
When he arrived at the hospital, he was so tired that he almost collapsed.
But fortunately...
Xia Keke did not have any major problems.
It was only because he had been sleepless for several days and was hungry that he had lost a lot of water.
Such an outcome.
Everyone's worried hearts were completely relieved.
...
On the morning of the fifth day.
Xia Keke woke up.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to run to the sofa in the living room and quietly squat in front of Cao Shengming.
The moment Cao Shengming opened his eyes.
He was so scared that he almost died on the spot!
"Thank you," she said with a smile.”
"That's right."
This was the first sentence Xia Keke had said in several days. Cao Shengming couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief."Life and death are the norm. You have to learn to accept it. After all, you still have a long way to go.”
Xia Keke nodded.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Me? What about me?"
"Have you experienced life and death?"
Cao Shengming couldn't help but be silent for a long time before finally nodding his head."Yes, but it was a long, long time ago. It was so long that I don't even know how many years it has been.”
He stretched.
He stood up and asked with a smile,"How do you say it? Is she still the Xia Keke I know?"”
"Of course I am."
Xia Keke grinned." Let's go. Let's go back today."”
"Alright, I'll go and tell Uncle.”
Knowing that they were leaving.
Dad Xia drove them to the train station.
Before he left.
Dad Xia patted Cao Shengming's shoulder and said,""When you have nothing to do, come and stay with us for a few days.”
"Yeah,"
Xia Lianlian also smiled and said,"We all welcome you very much. Moreover, we'll all be watching your live broadcast."”
As he spoke.
The little girl seemed to be deliberately mocking Cao Shengming. She squinted her eyes and shouted word by word,""Future ~ elder ~ sister ~ husband ~"
At that time, Cao Shengming wished he could find a hole to hide in!
On the train.
Xia Keke seemed to have really returned to her previous state.
They chatted and laughed.
This included Luo Li and the others.
She seemed to get along with them quite well.
And Cao Shengming.
However, he couldn't help but recall what Dad Xia had said to him at the stairwell at the hospital.
"In fact, we knew a long time ago that you weren't Keke's boyfriend.”
"After all, you're so famous online.”
Of course.
"Then why didn't you and Aunt expose me?" Cao Shengming asked curiously.”
" Because we hope that when Keke returns to Linhai City, there will be someone to take care of her on our behalf," Dad Xia said.”
"Although you're not Keke's boyfriend, since she's willing to ask you for help, it means that she trusts you. Keke trusts you, and so do we.”
A simple sentence.
However, Cao Shengming could not calm down for a long time.
So…
He pretended to be her boyfriend and accompanied her back to see her parents.
From the very beginning.
It was just a farce.
Thinking of this…
Cao Shengming couldn't help but grin, then he shook his head and looked out of the window.
Those mountains and trees that flashed past.
Just like the scenery on the way.
And at this moment.
He suddenly understood.
If possible.
Next.
He wanted to bring the people around him to enjoy the scenery along the way.
"How about this,"
"Let's register a company when we get back," Cao Shengming suddenly said.”
"Why?"
"Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?" Xia Keke didn't understand.”
"Oh, before he left, your dad asked me to take care of you on his behalf.”
“!!! Who needs you to take care of me? I have my own money!”
"Yes, yes, yes. Then take care of me."
"Don't even think about it. That's my money.”
“？？？Speaking of money, my salary was originally 4,000 yuan for two days, but it's been five or six days now.”
"I've been exposed. My parents have already seen through me. No way! I've already deducted my salary. There's nothing left!"
Cao Shengming suddenly flew into a rage. You motherf * cker!"
...
The live broadcast room was quite lively today.
Sure enough, the atmosphere of the past was restored. (Eating melons)
Then, here came the problem. Were these two really together? (Question)
---I was thinking the same thing.
[If the two of them are really together, does that mean that I can lay my hands on other girls!] (Eyes shining)
Let's put it this way. To quote what Thief Cao had said before, that was: They were not blind.
--... Are you polite? (Smiling)
...
...
Cao Shengming was very happy to see Xia Keke's return.
After this incident.
The relationship between him and Xia Keke had indeed undergone some subtle changes. However, Cao Shengming himself was somewhat unclear as to where this change came from.
But no matter what.
It felt great to be back in Linhai City.
Compared to before.
Cao Shengming's goal was even clearer now.
He decided!
From this moment on, he would completely integrate into this world.
Moreover…
Do your best.
He wanted to gain a brand new life.
...
"Aiyo, f * ck!"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen slapped his forehead and interrupted Cao Shengming's train of thought.""F * ck! Big brother, we're done for!"
"What's wrong?"
Cao Shengming was baffled." What's the matter? Why are you so excited that you're slapping your own head?"”
"I... Luo Bin and I were in such a hurry when we left that we forgot to clean up the stall!”
Cao Shengming: "!!!"
After a long time,
Cao Shengming pointed to a telephone pole not far away and said,""How can you just slap your forehead on such a shocking thing? That's too perfunctory. The two of them are here. Please hit them hard.”
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it if it's damaged."
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Luo Bin was speechless.
...
When everyone rushed over to set up their stall.
As expected.
The tricycle was long gone.
Cao Shengming and the others asked around, but…
I don't know.
Sanwen Jiu shook his head.
" What should we do?" Jiang Chen was in tears."I still have a lot of money in there.”
"Compensate."
“？？？Why should I pay for it? I lost something, why should I pay for it?”
"Nonsense, I invested in that car and spent 5,000 yuan. So far, the two of you have only earned me 6 yuan!”
“......”
After returning to the hotel.
Cao Shengming gave a new round of missions.
" Jiang Chen, Luo Bin, you'll go look for a house tomorrow. It's best if you can find a bigger one. If you want money, I'll accept it between 3,000 to 5,000 yuan.”
"Of course, if the house is really good, the price can be increased appropriately.”
"Understood."
"Roger!"
Soon after.
"How long until the anniversary of Yida Mall?" Cao Shengming asked Luo Li.”
"Three days."
"Have you practiced that song?"
"Yes."
"Do you understand the lyrics?"
“...”"Boss, can you please not write such ridiculous lyrics next time?" Luo Li smiled.”
Cao Shengming's gaze swept past Luo Li and looked at Melon Girl."Did you tell her?"
Melon Girl looked around and said,"Wow, this hotel is really luxurious."
“... How did you learn all my ancestral skills?”
Luo Li chuckled,"You get blackened by the company of ink.”
He waved his hand.
Cao Shengming couldn't be bothered with her." Alright, let's go. I haven't slept well these past few days. I'll take a nap first."”
After Luo Bin and Jiang Chen left.
Cao Shengming immediately crawled into bed.
After that.
A fragrance assailed his nostrils.
"Eh? Why is my bed so fragrant?" Cao Shengming looked confused, then he sniffed hard and exclaimed,""Really? It's so strange!"
Luo Li covered her face.
Melon Girl covered her face.
The cameraman quickly ran to his bed and smelled it. He was also puzzled."Brother, why doesn't it smell good? Why was it that hotels nowadays started to discriminate against people based on their looks when changing bed sheets?”
Suspicion.
Cao Shengming subconsciously looked at the two little girls.
After that.
He lifted his pillow slightly and took a glance.
Instantly!
He immediately closed it again with a shocked expression. Then, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and say,"Zhang San, I'll give you 200 yuan. Can you go out and run around the lake?”
"Why?"
"I want to lose weight."
"But if you want to lose weight, why do you want me to run?”
"Three hundred."
"Alright!"
