Chapter 160 Qi Pei X Yu Anran: Suzhou
The weather in April is exceptionally mild.

The temperature is neither low nor high, and the sky outside the window is so blue that it seems to have been drawn with a paintbrush. The fine sunlight penetrates through the shade of the trees and sprinkles obliquely on the concrete floor.

But on the contrary, it was Xu Jing's sudden phone call.

Yu Anran's brain even short-circuited for a moment, and for a while she couldn't understand what she meant by "it's about to die".

She picked at the sticky crumbs on the side of the wooden table, "Be more specific."

Xu Jing spoke incoherently, was still crying, couldn't speak clearly intermittently, just wanted Yu Anran to come back to Suzhou quickly, she didn't want her mother to regret.

After a long silence, Yu Anran finally recovered.

She vaguely heard the word "lung cancer" from Xu Jing's mouth, but she didn't know why it happened so suddenly.

Obviously, on Xu Jing's side, she didn't get a useful answer either.

Yu Anran hung up the phone with trembling fingertips, and dialed Qi Pei again.

Once connected, she tried her best to suppress her chaotic emotions, and said to him: "Qi Pei, can you accompany me back to Suzhou?"

Qi Pei responded naturally: "Okay."

Yu Anran said again: "Now, is it okay?"

…………

capital Airport.

Qi Pei took Yu Anran to find the waiting point with a clear purpose.

There was hot water beside him, he took half a cup from the paper cup provided by the airport, and handed it to Yu Anran's mouth.

Yu Anran subconsciously took a sip, but was suddenly burned, and directly spat out Qi Pei's hand.

"Feel sorry."

She hurriedly went to find a tissue in her bag, wiped the man's hands clean, looked up and saw that there was no disgust in his eyes, only helplessness and worry.

He crumpled up the tissue and threw it away, holding her face in his hands: "Is it too hot?"

Yu Anran's tongue numb belatedly, she licked her lips.

Qi Pei sighed lightly: "Yu Anran, don't think so much, maybe my sister is just exaggerating, we will know when we return to Suzhou."

Yu Anran took his hand, "It's just a little messy."

Xu Jing spoke as if my aunt was going to leave the next moment.

Yu Anran knew that my aunt had always been in poor health, and after tossing and tossing for most of her life, she was a pretty strong person, but she did not know when she had gradually become thinner.

Have to admit, she is a contradiction.

Even though she was resentful in her heart, after all, my aunt was an elder who loved her dearly and was closer than her parents. It was impossible for Yu Anran to be so cold-blooded that she didn't react at all when she heard this kind of news.

The roar of the plane disturbed Yu Anran, she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, looked at the white clouds outside the window, and flew from the north to the south.

The airport is in the city next door to Suzhou. After getting off the plane, the two took another taxi before returning to the small county town of Suzhou.

Yu Anran didn't want to go shopping, and went directly to the county hospital.

Under the guidance of the hospital staff, she found the ward that Xu Jing had told her about on her mobile phone.

Standing at the door for a while, looking in through the transparent glass on the door, Xu Jing sat on the chair beside the bed with red eyes, and Xu Wei, who did not know when he returned to Suzhou, also sat by the bed, The aunt on the bed blocked most of it.

Yu Anran knocked on the door symbolically, and then pushed the door open by herself.

Xu Wei's eyes lit up when he saw her coming in, and when Qi Pei appeared behind Yu Anran, he stiffly held back.

Qi Pei glanced at him, his eyes were a little cold, but he didn't speak.

Yu Anran took two steps forward before seeing the aunt on the bed clearly.

This is the first time Yu Anran saw her since the last time BJ said goodbye.

Shockingly, in just a few months, the person on the bed was even more emaciated, with a ventilator on his face, and his energy was almost gone.

Before Yu Anran could ask, the nurse at the door came in and said, "Is Zhou Min's family here? Talk to the doctor!"

Zhou Min, my aunt's name.

Xu Jing couldn't handle this kind of thing, and it was inconvenient for Yu Anran, so Xu Wei had to go.

After Xu Wei left, Yu Anran asked Xu Jing: "When did it happen?"

At this moment, Xu Jing no longer had the arrogant appearance she used to have, with red eyes and a hoarse voice, she told Yu Anran everything.

One day in March, Xu Jing came home from school after school.

At that time, Zhou Min was busy in the kitchen. She didn't know if it was because of the cooking fume. She suddenly covered her mouth and coughed continuously.

Xu Jing didn't take it seriously at first, but Zhou Min coughed for a long time without stopping, so she went to the kitchen and took a look, and found that the tissue she used to cover her mouth was all stained with blood.

Xu Jing panicked on the spot. In her perception, a normal cough would not cough up blood for no reason at all.

But Zhou Min was very calm, and only said "it's okay" to her, and then continued to cook.

Confused, she later called Xu Wei.

Xu Wei rushed back from BJ and insisted on sending Zhou Min to the hospital.

Xu Jing only remembered that Zhou Min looked at them for a long time without saying a word, and said with tears in his eyes, "I know it myself, I have cancer."

Yu Anran glanced at the little girl with her eyes slightly closed on the bed, feeling a little sad.

Qi Pei hugged her shoulder reassuringly, she turned her head and gave him a forced smile.

Xu Jing continued: "Later, my brother still insisted on sending my mother to the hospital. She stayed here for half a month, but the situation got worse and worse."

"I felt that she was just holding on to her breath before, but the tight string broke after she was hospitalized."

"Did the doctor say why you got lung cancer?" Yu Anran asked.

Xu Jing sniffed, "I didn't understand it well, the doctor only told me that it might be related to second-hand smoke and factory exhaust gas."

Yu Anran frowned: "How to say?"

"Before my mother and my father divorced, people at home often came to play cards. Everyone was very addicted to cigarettes, and the smoke was lingering, which caused my mother to inhale a lot of second-hand smoke."

Smoking or second-hand smoke is indeed a potential risk factor for lung cancer.

"After they divorced, my mother went to work in a factory for a while in order to make ends meet," Xu Jing said. "She never let me go to her because the factory environment was not good and there was a lot of exhaust gas. I guess this is also the reason." .”

There are many causes of lung cancer, and it can be difficult to pinpoint a specific cause.Moreover, it is a chronic disease, and it is difficult not to develop bronchial infection after staying in such an environment for a long time.

But now the age group of this disease is gradually decreasing, and it seems reasonable that my aunt will get such a disease, which is unexpected.

Zhou Min told the two of them that way at the time, obviously he had already gone to check it before, but he just kept it a secret in order not to worry his family members.

This concealment has probably been concealed for a long time, Yu Anran guessed that the best time for treatment may have passed.

Just as he was thinking, Xu Wei came back with a solemn expression.

Xu Jing went up to hold his hand, "Brother, what did the doctor say!"

Xu Wei's throat seemed to be blocked with a ball of cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.

The three people in the room stared at him for a long time before he said: "The doctor said that the cancer cells have almost spread to the entire lung, and there is little hope for a cure. We can only use a ventilator to maintain it in the hospital. The doctor asked We ask the patient, if she doesn't want to be in the hospital ... take her home."

Get ready for the funeral.

This sentence was too cruel, Xu Wei didn't have the heart to say it.

Xu Jing's legs immediately went limp, and she fell straight down. It was Xu Wei who brought her back.

Take her home.

What a helpless sentence that sounds like in a hospital.

Yu Anran subconsciously looked at the aunt on the bed, her hands were curled up, as if she wanted to lift them up.

She stepped forward quickly and called her, "Auntie."

Zhou Min moved his lips with difficulty, Yu Anran listened to her, and could only hear her intermittent voice.

Yu Anran barely made out a few words.

She said, "An Ran, I want to go back to Qiulin Lane."

Qiulin Lane is at the southern end of Suzhou, only one street away from the community where Yu Anran's family lived before.

It's just that after the community was demolished two years ago, a new business district was built there.Now that there are people coming and going around here, it adds a lot of lively atmosphere.

The group returned to Qiulin Lane.

Xu Wei and Xu Jing carefully carried Zhou Min to her room, and gently fixed the oxygen tube for her.

Yu Anran didn't go in, she was standing in the middle of the alley, it was spring, but the plants were not thriving at all, instead there was a sense of desolation and dilapidation.

She looked around, the alley was still the alley in her memory, except for some traces of time due to the age, everything was as it was in her impression.

"Boss Qi," Yu Anran stared at the stone in the corner by the door, "I liked to sit on that stone and read when I was young."

Qi Pei followed her gaze and responded softly, "You're so eager to learn."

Yu Anran nodded, and said, "Look at the door, there is also the scale line where I used to measure my height."

Qi Pei took a closer look, there really were.

It's just that after so many years, the traces have become very shallow, and only one or two traces can still be seen clearly with the naked eye.

After a long time, Yu Anran looked back at the door again.

"Do you want to go in?" Qi Pei asked.

Yu Anran murmured: "I don't know."

What Xu Wei conveyed is actually very clear. To put it mildly, it is to respect my aunt's wishes to save some money and go home and lie down. To put it bluntly, it is to go home and wait for death.

Yu Anran didn't know what to do, this kind of moment was actually more confused than when facing the death of her parents.

"Then I'll go out with you for a walk, okay?"

Taking a few deep breaths, Yu Anran agreed to Qi Pei's proposal.

She sent a message to Xu Jing, asking her to contact her if there was something wrong with her aunt.

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no situation now, which seems to be the best situation.

With all his efforts and calculations, Yu Anran hasn't been back to Suzhou for nearly six years.

Today's Suzhou has changed a lot, the roads have been refurbished, and all the street lights have been replaced.Street stalls are no longer allowed, and there is less smoke and fire.

Suzhou No. [-] Middle School is nearby, but Yu Anran didn't intend to get close, so she pulled Qi Pei to walk in another direction, walking non-stop.

"Miss Yu, I'm here at your house, do you want to treat me to dinner?"

"What would Boss Qi want to eat?"

"Eat whatever is delicious."

Just passing by a flat food shop that Yu Anran used to eat when he was a child, Yu Anran asked, "How about some flat food?"

Qi Pei is naturally good.

Yu Anran led him in, the former owner of this store has retired, and now the owner's son manages the store.

There was no one in the shop, so Yu Anran ordered two signboards, and they were ready in no time.

Qi Pei stirred it with a spoon, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't this the BJ's wonton?"

"It's not the same." Yu Anran said.

But in fact, the practice is not much different, but the name is different in the north and the south.

After eating half of it, Yu Anran lost her appetite.

With something on her mind, Qi Pei naturally didn't force her, sticking to the principle of not wasting, helping her eat the leftovers.

After eating flat food and then coming out, it was already dark.

The street lamps lit up high and merged with the full moon, sweeping down bursts of faint halos.

Yu Anran didn't go shopping anymore, and returned to Qiulin Lane.

Xu Wei and Xu Jing didn't dare to go to rest, and stubbornly stayed by the bedside.

Qi Pei went in, took two chairs from the living room, and sat at the door with Yu Anran, looking at the dim lights on the alley ground.

The big tree on the side suddenly rustled, a few leaves fell, swirled in the air, and then rolled very slowly to Yu Anran's feet.

It is the last withering of its remaining life.
