The red Volvo XC60 sped for more than 1,800 kilometers on the highway. It took a little more than a day to reach Chengdu.
The toll booths in Chengdu were all wide open. Xie Yiren followed the traffic and slowly passed through the toll booths.
Although she was very tired and it was already late at night, she had no intention of resting.
The colorful neon lights on the street were split by the car, crisscrossing through the car window, and the empty passenger seat beside him was constantly illuminated in the darkness.
There used to be a person sitting there, simple and honest, boring, yet full of power. He was like a rock, extremely sturdy and reliable.
Passing by the Fu River, the light reflected in the ripples on the surface of the river was not sure if it was the moonlight or the people coming and going on the shore.
Xie Yiren suddenly hoped that after picking up that person, she could continue driving without stopping halfway. The car passed through decades of time and disappeared into the morning when the street lights went out.
Although the road was long, there would always be an end.
He drove all the way to Tianfu Square. When she arrived at the agreed place, Xie Ning was already waiting for her.
"Dad." Xie Yiren got out of the car, as obedient as ever.
Xie Ning rubbed Xie Yiren's head and said, "You arrived so quickly. Didn't you rest for a while?"
"I slept for a few hours on the way, so I'm not sleepy."
Xie Ning sighed as he looked at his grown-up daughter. He didn't want her to come, but she came anyway. Xie Yiren, who had always been a good girl, had finally grown up.
"Dad, you've lost weight recently," Xie Yiren whispered.
Xie Ning's face finally revealed a smile that was different from usual. It was so kind.
"Have you lost weight? I'm still in the prime of my life. I can still struggle for many years," Xie Ning said with a smile.
Both father and daughter were silent at the same time, quietly watching the blood and the flow of people on the square. A few days ago, on the night of the earthquake, tens of thousands of people spontaneously gathered here.
The majestic voice was like the sound of war drums, rumbling and soaring into the nine heavens.
Yet now, that emotion hadn't dissipated. That voice still reverberated by their ears, turning into a trickling stream that was slowly being turned into reality.
"The initial work of the earthquake relief is basically over," Xie Ning said. "All that's left is to clean up the mess. It might last for a long time. I don't have anything to do for now. "
"Are you going home?" Xie Yiren asked.
"No, I heard Zheng Ren mention something. I'm going to Europe," Xie Ning said.
Xie Yiren did not ask him what he was going to do in Europe. This was a habit he had developed since he was young.
"You have a good eye. This child, Zheng Ren, is responsible, hardworking, and has standards." Xie Ning used three words to describe Zheng Ren.
For him, this was a very high evaluation.
Xie Yiren blushed, but she did not lower her head. Her eyes were as clear as the moonlight above the clouds.
"He came down from the front line safely and is undergoing surgery at the Chengdu Provincial Hospital. Go find Director Chen. I'll send his number to your WeChat.
"Okay." Xie Yiren nodded. "Go home early when you're done."
"It won't be long. Going there is just a preliminary inspection. Zheng Ren gave me a difficult problem. It was a big problem. "When Xie Ning talked about this matter, he had a headache and gently rubbed his temples.
"Is Mom going too?"
"Yeah, let's go take a look on the way."
"Then I'll wait for you at home," Xie Yiren said.
"When you see him, let him sleep for a while. These days, he hadn't had a good night's sleep. Although you're young, don't overwork your body, "Xie Ning warned.
"Huh?" Xie Yiren was stunned.
On the way, she had guessed that Zheng Ren, who had no interest in life, probably did not know how to eat and even drank very little water. However, she did not expect that the frontline would be so difficult. He did not even sleep?
How could that be?!
Seeing the anxious expression on Xie Yiren's face, Xie Ning said, "There are too many injured people and we can't perform the surgery. However, your little boyfriend is the most capable one, so he has been persisting. "
Xie Yiren was a little shy when she heard Xie Ning say the word 'little boyfriend'. However, when she heard Xie Ning's affirmation, a gratified smile appeared on her face.
Xie Ning approved of Zheng Ren very much. When she called her father on the way, Xie Yiren had already guessed this.
At this moment, she was finally sure.
"He's like that." Xie Yiren's voice was very soft, very thin, and very light. It was like the night wind in Bashu, gentle and sweet.
"You can't wait any longer, right? Do you not want to accompany me and want to see your little boyfriend immediately?" Xie Ning asked with a smile.
"Since he's already here, there's no hurry," Xie Yiren said directly. "Dad, I miss you."
Xie Ning smiled.
"Then I'll go pick up your mother first. I'll probably be back in half a month or a month. By then, you should have returned to the Imperial Capital. "
"Okay."
"I'm leaving." Xie Ning rubbed Xie Yiren's head again. Her neat ponytail did not become fluffy and cute after being rubbed. Instead, it gave off a valiant aura.
Xie Ning waved his hand and did not say anything else. He turned around and left.
By the side of the road, a black Rolls-Royce was parked on the side. Xie Ning walked over and someone opened the car door.
He did not turn around and got into the car. The black car silently disappeared into the traffic and into the night.
Xie Yiren watched Xie Ning leave. A minute later, her phone vibrated.
It was a message from Xie Ning. It was a person's phone number and business card.
It should be Chief Chen from Chengdu Provincial Hospital. Xie Yiren still remembered Xie Ning's words.
Had he lost weight?
Was he tired?
What should she say when they met?
This bastard dared to lie to her and even turned off his phone. How was she going to settle this score?
Looking at Chief Chen's phone number, Xie Yiren was stunned.
What kind of feeling would it be to be so close to home and shy?
Xie Yiren felt as if she was still buying daily necessities for Zheng Ren in the supermarket and had just encountered an earthquake. She felt that she had just called Zheng Ren, but that guy had turned off his phone. There were a few times in her life when she cursed at someone — Zheng Ren, you bastard!
After being stunned for a long time, Xie Yiren smiled and turned her head. Her ponytail swayed.
After dialing the number, Xie Yiren waited quietly.
After a few rings, the call was connected.
Her voice was a little hoarse, as if someone had disturbed her dream.
"Who is this?" Chief Chen asked.
"Hello, Chief Chen. My name is Xie Yiren. I'm Zheng Ren's scrub nurse. My father, Xie Ning, asked me to call you," Xie Yiren said straightforwardly.
"Uh …" Chief Chen on the other side of the phone seemed to have crashed. He could not receive so much information at once.
However, he quickly reacted.
"Xie Ning? Is it Ning? "Chief Chen asked hesitantly.
"Yes, Chief Chen."
"Oh, I got it. I'm at Chengdu Provincial Hospital. Come and find me. When you arrive, wait for me in the emergency department. I'll go down and pick you up, "Chief Chen said.
"Sorry to trouble you." After Xie Yiren said that, she hung up the phone.
She rubbed her face, tidied up her clothes, and walked firmly back to the red Volvo XC60. She navigated all the way to Chengdu Provincial Hospital.
