Take what you need

Chapter 26

The first thing Xie Xingzhou did after he came back was to visit his grandma in the hospital. In the two years since he left, his grandma's condition has become so serious that he needs to be hospitalized for a long time.

Although he came back secretly during the period, the days with grandma were really too few.But it's okay now, grandma is accompanied by Xu Na, although Xie Xingzhou doesn't want to see her, but she is indeed the best person to take care of grandma.

When he came back to visit his grandma a year ago, he saw a hesitant Xu Na at the gate of the nursing home. She had lost her original brilliance, her loose hair was messy, and the cuffs of her clothes were worn out. When she saw Xie Xingzhou, her eyes were filled with surprise, and there were some dodges that could not face her son.

She told Xie Xingzhou that she had severed ties with that man, and found a simple job in the city to make a living. Now that she has free time, she wanted to take care of her grandma.

At that time, grandma's condition was gradually deteriorating, and he couldn't stay in the country for too long, so there was no other way for the time being, so he had to hand grandma over to Xu Na.

Xu Na also repeatedly assured that she could take good care of the old man, so Xie Xingzhou left in peace.

Xie Xingzhou bought some supplements on the way to the hospital, some for grandma and some for Xu Na. Although he didn't want to admit it, grandma's health did improve under her care.

When he arrived at the ward, Xu Na was wiping grandma's hands, straightened up and smiled, "You're here."

Xie Xingzhou nodded, stood at the head of the bed and bent over to talk to grandma: "Grandma, I'm here to see you."

When grandma saw Xie Xingzhou's face was full of smiles, she raised her hand slowly, and Xie Xingzhou immediately received the signal from grandma's eyes, and stretched out her hand to hold grandma's wrinkled palm.

Grandma's brain tumor has affected her language function, so now she can only open her mouth, but can't speak a word.

A sour feeling instantly filled his heart and eye sockets, Xie Xingzhou hastily turned his back to not shed tears in front of grandma.He took a towel from Xu Na and helped Xu Na wipe her grandma's body.

After grandma fell asleep, he sat in front of the hospital bed for a while. Xu Na brought him a cup of hot water and said softly behind him, "Thank you."

Xie Xingzhou kept looking at his sleeping grandma, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for still being willing to forgive me."

"I didn't forgive you." Xie Xingzhou leaned over and tucked the quilt up for grandma, "I will never forgive you for what you did. I asked you to take care of grandma just to make you atone for your sins."

"Grandma can't remember people now because of a brain tumor. If her memory is still there, it is absolutely impossible for you to be here."

Xu Na lowered her head, took a deep breath, and said, "I know, it's good to be able to atone."

When Xie Xingzhou was about to leave, Xu Na stopped him and said, "Xingzhou, the doctor said that your grandma is less than three months away. If you have time, come and spend time with her."

Xie Xingzhou hummed, opened the door and left.

......

Qin Heng finished his work and took time to go to the hospital.A year ago, Qin Zhenghong's health was getting worse and worse, especially for stomach problems, and he had undergone polypectomy several times.However, Qin Zhenghong is still a temper tantrum, and his illness is always repeated, so he was simply put in the hospital directly.

Qin Zhenghong just finished his gastric polypectomy this morning, and the anesthesia has not passed yet, and he is lying in the ward sleeping.Wen Lan came out of the ward wearily, and just as she closed the door, she saw Qin Heng standing in the corridor.

"Heng, why are you here?"

Qin Heng glanced into the ward and said, "I finished my work, and I wanted to see you."

He didn't come to see Qin Zhenghong, but Wen Lan.

Wen Lan also saw his thoughts, took his arm and said, "Let's go to the rooftop to blow some air."

He followed Wen Lan to the roof of the hospital. In the evening, the white walls on the roof were illuminated by the setting sun to a warm yellow color, and the soft hair of the two fluttered in the wind, glowing with layers of golden light.

"The air here is so good!" Wen Lan took a deep breath and couldn't help sighing.

Several benches were placed on the roof, and Qin Heng helped his mother to sit down.

Wen Lan stared at the setting sun not far away, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Qin Heng's lips trembled slightly, as if he had a lot to say.

"You want to know what you should do now. Ah Heng, you want to ask this right?"

Qin Heng raised his head and looked at the sunset in the distance like a mother. He was actually conflicted in his heart. He liked Xie Xingzhou, but he didn't dare to face him with sincerity. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

Wen Lan took a deep breath: "Do you hate him?"

"He used you to steal the company's documents, causing the company to lose hundreds of millions of dollars. You were desperately trying to save the company at home. But he was free and easy abroad. Do you hate him for these things?"

"Hate. Why don't you hate?" He really hated, but only at that moment, the moment he left.He heard Xie Xingzhou say "I'm sorry", but what's the use of being sorry, if you really want to apologize, you should stay and make amends, instead of leaving a flimsy sorry and walking away.

Qin Heng suddenly smiled bitterly, but the corners of his mouth were quickly suppressed, "But what right do I have to hate?"

"In his eyes, I should not be a good thing."

Wen Lan comforted softly: "How could it be? Ah Heng, you can't always trap yourself in the past, you have to look forward."

"Many things in this world are unsolvable. You want to clarify the gains and losses between you, but when you are entangled in the past, some people have taken a big step forward."

"So, it's a good thing to forget the past, and just follow your own heart in the future."

When Wen Lan said this, she tapped his heart, "Your heart will tell you the way to go."

She got up and straightened the corner of her clothes, and patted Qin Heng on the back shoulder.Said: "Your father should be awake, I'll go down and see him."

Qin Heng hummed, after his mother left, he worked alone on the rooftop for a long time, knowing that the afterglow of the setting sun was replaced by the cold moonlight, until the clouds at sunset were covered by the stars all over the sky.

He was motionless on the quiet bench, his thoughts were silent in the darkness, the faint light on the rooftop shone on his fingertips, he lowered his head slowly, and raised the corners of his lips facing the faint light.

He suddenly longed to see Xie Xingzhou, and felt like a kitten's paw was scratching his heart, itching unbearably.

The phone still had Xie Xingzhou's contact information, and he opened the chat interface with him a little tremblingly, and sent a message.

[Come here to pay off the debt. 】

Xie Xingzhou looked at the new news on his phone and couldn't help laughing. He straightened his collar and hair in front of the mirror, and took the car keys to the hotel to find Qin Heng.Xie Xingzhou pushed open the hotel door, and a strong smell of wine came directly to him. He called Qin Heng's name softly, but got no answer.He turned around and closed the door, but before he had time, he was hugged from behind, and the two rubbed each other's ears, Xie Xingzhou could clearly smell the smell of alcohol and tobacco on his body.

"Qin Heng."

"Well, you're here." His voice was dry and hoarse after smoking, and there was an indescribable sexiness in the silent darkness.

"You're drunk." Xie Xingzhou was wrapped in his arms, unable to move.

......

Qin Heng blinked his eyes as if he didn't hear it, and put his head on Xie Xingzhou's shoulder. After a long time, each other's breathing could be heard quietly in the room. Xie Xingzhou's heart was beating powerfully. He turned his head to look Glancing at the sleeping Qin Heng, he sighed softly without knowing it.

"We fell in love with each other at the wrong time, although only for a moment, but I don't mind. I know I shouldn't be around you, but I like your kisses, your touch."

"Every time I'm with you, I feel like I'm on a cloud, afraid that I'll fall in the next second. Many things between us have been shattered, but my love has not."

"Qin Heng, when you wake up, can you tell me that you love me?"

He lowered his head, leaned over cautiously, put his hands around his thin waist, put his cheek close to his heart, and fell asleep listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
