It was rare that Ice Shard never contacted him.
Ever since Li Xianyu decided to get rid of Ice Shard's control, the relationship between the sister and the brother gradually fell to the freezing point. After Li Xianyu moved out and lived alone, he rarely went home. Later, when his sister went on a trip, they rarely called each other, let alone met.
There was really nothing much to say. Li Xianyu couldn't help but feel guilty and timid in front of her. Even after so many years, even if he was strong enough to kill a monster with a single punch, the shadow of his childhood was still deeply rooted in his heart.
"Your father is dead. He's waiting for you at the funeral home." Ice Shard's voice was neither soft nor gentle. It was cold but strangely pleasant to the ears.
You could imagine what kind of woman she was just by listening to her voice.
"Pfft, what nonsense are you talking about?" An angry reprimand came from the phone.
"I heard mom's voice. Sister, you're back?" Li Xianyu's tone became more careful.
A moment later, the phone was snatched away by his mother. "Li Xianyu, your father had an accident. He's in the hospital."
Li Xianyu's childhood nickname was indescribable. Before kindergarten, his adoptive mother called him Fish, but when he was about to go to kindergarten, she thought it wasn't a good name and would be laughed at by his classmates, so she changed it to Xianxian. This nickname was rejected by Li Xianyu himself in elementary school. In junior high, his adoptive mother wanted to call him Xianxian Yu again. The cold Ice Shard spat out rice for the first time.
Therefore, his adoptive parents could only call him by his name. His adoptive mother often blamed his adoptive father for giving his son such a stupid name.
Li Xianyu was shocked and unconsciously raised his voice. "Emergency? What's going on, what happened to my father … Which hospital? I'm coming. "
He got up and walked out of the house.
Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "We're not in Shanghai, we're in Liaoning."
"Liaoning?!"
Weren't his parents traveling abroad … Oh, that was a long time ago. They just came back from abroad and now they're in Liaoning? His father was a small official in a state-owned enterprise. How could he have so many vacations?
Mrs. Li sighed. "Your uncle passed away a few days ago. Your father and I rushed over to attend the funeral."
Li Xianyu suddenly remembered that his grandmother's family was in Liaoning, and his mother had three uncles. Because Li Xianyu's grandmother passed away when he was very young, and Liao Ning lived a long way from home, she rarely visited during the holidays.
However, it was a matter of life and death. No matter how far the journey was, they still had to go. Therefore, the foster parents applied for leave and flew to Liaoning to attend the funeral.
"What does that have to do with my father?" Li Xianyu asked anxiously. "Is he alright?"
"Last night at the funeral home, he fell down and is still unconscious." His adoptive mother choked and said, "The doctor checked again and again, but he couldn't find any injuries. Instead, he was found to have multiple organ failure. Fortunately, it was mild, otherwise …"
"Why did my dad suddenly suffer from multiple organ failure?" Li Xianyu grabbed his backpack and strode out the door. "Mom, send me the address. I'll be right there."
"Okay, I'll ask your sister to pay the transfer fee."
"No need, no need!"
After hanging up, he knocked on Great-grandmother's door and found that she wasn't in the room. It wasn't like she was having fun somewhere, so he made a call and told her about his adoptive father's situation.
Great-grandmother said, "I'll go with you then."
Li Xianyu rejected instinctively. Perhaps it was because he didn't want the people and matters of the Bloodline World to have too much to do with his family, or perhaps he didn't know how to introduce Great-grandmother's existence.
His adoptive father was a brother that his father had befriended in human society. Great-grandmother said that she hadn't seen his adoptive father, but she might have forgotten. Great-grandmother had lived for many years, so she wouldn't remember just anyone.
What if his adoptive father had seen Great-grandmother? Even if it was just a glimpse, he might have seen such a beauty by his sworn brother's side. Years later, he would see Great-grandmother again …
Just to be safe, he didn't bring Great-grandmother along. Even if it was a mild case of multiple organ failure, it was still a very troublesome illness. If it got worse, it would be over.
Li Xianyu left the Bosch Building with a serious expression and took a taxi to the airport. He also asked Dharmaraja to book a flight to Liaoning for him.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Hongqiao Airport. Sitting in the waiting hall, he received another call from Dharmaraja, who asked him if he wanted to arrange for a few high-ranking employees to protect him.
Li Xianyu rejected. Dharmaraja said that when he arrived in Liaoning, he should remember to contact the people in the branch and look for them if he had any problems.
"I don't care about ordinary people anymore. Even without Great-grandmother, I'm not an ant that can be trampled on … Eh, am I getting arrogant?" Li Xianyu lowered his head and looked at his left arm. "Is it your fault? My mind is being affected again."
Slime: "Bullsh * t. What does it have to do with me? Even if there's a mistake, it's Wangchen's fault."
Li Xianyu: "How much do you hate Wangchen? Don't wait for the next host to change your mind and say that everything is Salted Fish's fault."
.....
From Hongqiao to Taoxian International Airport, he was brutally extorted by the airport taxi before the other party agreed to take him to the county. When he arrived at the hospital, it was already dark.
It was a hot August, and the sky was getting darker. The temperature in Liaoning was very comfortable, unlike in Shanghai, where it was so hot that people's chickens had dried up.
When Li Xianyu paid, he found that Ice Slag had transferred some money to him via WeChat. He calculated the travel expenses. Damn, the difference was less than 200 yuan. Damn Ice Slag. She really didn't let him take advantage of her. She didn't have the magnanimity and awareness of being a sister at all.
He called Ice Slag at the entrance of the hospital. "Sister, I'm here."
Ice Slag told him the ward number and said, "Come up yourself."
He followed the ward number and came to the ward where his foster father was. It was a two-person ward. The county wasn't big. Even the best hospital in the city had a shortage of single rooms.
His foster father was lying on the bed in a daze. Next to him was a middle-aged man with a broken leg. His wife and son were by his bedside.
From time to time, the father and son would glance at the cold beauty next to the bed. In a small county like this, not to mention the number of beautiful women, at least in this hospital, in their daily life, and in the circle they came into contact with, it was almost impossible to meet a woman who was more beautiful than this beauty.
If one had to nitpick, it would probably be that she was a little too cold. She wore a white t-shirt, a thin beige jacket, slim jeans that accentuated the curves of her legs and buttocks, and a pair of dark red jogging shoes. She had no makeup on, and her hair was in a ponytail.
This outfit couldn't be more ordinary. It was even worse than some girls who knew how to dress up. She sat there without smiling or speaking, but there was an indescribable air of nobility about her.
It was as if she was a noble in the Forbidden City, while they were just ordinary people living a simple life in the Imperial City.
Because of this unreasonable sense of difference, the father and son didn't dare to be too brazen in their gazes.
She had been in the ward for a long time. During this time, when her mother asked her if she wanted to drink water, she shook her head. The only two times she spoke were on the phone. Her voice was the same as her temperament, cold and crisp like ice hockey.
From time to time, she glanced at the door of the ward. She was probably waiting for her brother on the phone. When she didn't see him, she would frown slightly.
"Mom, is my dad still not awake?" Her son finally came late.
"Li Xianyu?" The foster mother was stunned when she saw her son. She found that she almost couldn't recognize the son she had raised for 20 years. His appearance was the same, but his temperament and the feeling he gave were completely different.
She hadn't seen him for more than half a year. He had grown a few centimeters taller, and his physique was also stronger. As for his temperament, it was like he was a different person.
"Oh, mom, I recently signed up for a gym and have been working out," Li Xianyu explained casually. He then asked, "Is my dad still not awake?"
"No, the doctor said that he needs to stay in the hospital for observation to prevent his condition from worsening." The foster mother frowned. "If he still doesn't wake up tomorrow, I plan to send him to the provincial capital."
"Why is it like this? Doesn't dad have a physical examination every year?" Li Xianyu stared at his foster father. His foster father was also a handsome man when he was young. He was the type of male protagonist that was popular in female novels. When he seduced his mother, his smile was also evil and charming.
Time was like a butcher's knife. It made his belly bigger, his eye sockets swollen, and his body soft, but his body had always been healthy.
"How would I know? He fell and fell like this," the foster mother said helplessly.
Li Xianyu felt Bing Zhe glare at him and quickly put on a flattering smile. "Sister!"
Ice Dregs replied indifferently, "En."
"Why are you in the northeast?" Li Xianyu felt wronged. "Your family came to the northeast to attend a funeral, and you didn't even invite me?"
Although I'm an adopted son, I'm still a part of the family.
Bing Zhe couldn't be bothered with him. The foster mother explained, "It's a coincidence that your sister happened to come to the northeast. I called her and she came over this morning. "
It would be fine if his foster father's condition didn't worsen, but once it did, even if he was saved, there would be irreversible sequelae. Fortunately, he came. Li Xianyu planned to secretly give his foster father an injection in the dead of night.
"Mom, let me keep watch tonight. You and sister have a hotel nearby, right?"
"Yes." His foster mother was also a fair little beauty when she was young. Unlike Bing Zhe, who loved to travel alone and had to tie a ponytail, his mother liked to tie a ponytail all year round. In recent years, it was not suitable for her to tie a young girl's ponytail, so she tied a knot at the end of the ponytail and hung it on her left shoulder.
"Mom, I told you that your hairstyle is very dangerous. Don't randomly put flags on yourself." Li Xianyu swept his mother's hair behind her back.
After he said that, his eyes suddenly became hot, stimulating his tear glands to secrete tears.
"What's wrong?" his foster mother asked with concern.
"Tissue!" Li Xianyu pressed his hand to his eyes.
His foster mother took a tissue from the bedside and passed it to him. Li Xianyu wiped his tears and looked around with a heavy expression. There must be a vengeful spirit lingering in the ward, which stimulated his spiritual eye.
He had long heard that the hospital was a 'dirty' place that did not belong to the cemetery. It was known as the three places where supernatural stories originated, along with the female dormitory and the cemetery.
It was true.
