White Lies (Original)

White lies

In the early morning of May, the sky was clear and blue, like a huge mirror hanging high above the head, and the sky was sparsely dotted with a few pearl-like remnants of stars, glowing bleak white under the illumination of the morning sun. There was still some hint of coolness in the breeze, which made people can't believe that summer was quietly approaching.

Yanan got up early this morning and deliberately changed into a newly purchased light orange dress. She quickly packed up her things and hurried out of the bedroom.

At the university gate on weekends, there are not too many people waiting for the early bus. Yanan calmly jumped into the car and casually found a seat near the back door to sit down. At this moment, she suddenly felt a strong tiredness enveloping her entire body from the inside out.

When she returned to her bedroom from studying in the library last night, Yanan received a call from her good friend Shoko, who said to her in one breath, "Yanan, I have something here that I want to trouble you." My boss lady and her father have cancer, and the current disease has progressed to the middle and late stages, and it is estimated that the time left should be short. The only thing the old man could not rest assured of was the lifelong event of his young son. Several other older sons and daughters summed up together and agreed that the most important thing at the moment is to let the old man cooperate with the doctor's treatment with peace of mind, even if it is really not saved, let the old man leave without any regrets. That's why they entrusted me with the help of contacting a girl, to make a temporary cameo appearance in front of the old man about his young son's girlfriend, and promised that there would be a good reward afterwards and that the family would never be busy in vain."

Yanan listened to it and felt that this matter was quite fresh, and she had only seen it in film and television dramas before. In her opinion, in fact, this matter is not nothing, it is just to help a little help. She asked Shoko directly, "What are the conditions of everyone?" I'll go myself and see if it's okay? And don't want any compensation. Shoko said, "There is no requirement, it is about the same age as his son, as long as he looks like that." Since you are willing to go, of course it is the best, things are already very urgent, I am worried that I can't find the right person, and I can't pay for others. That's it, tomorrow you try to leave as early as possible, come to our shop first, the lady boss you have seen before, it is necessary for all of us to meet beforehand, and then go to the hospital together."

Yanan replied, "No problem! In fact, from the moment she hung up the phone, her heart had begun to become unstable. Even she herself did not understand why she had so much courage and boldness at that time, and even without even thinking about it, she volunteered to take over the heavy responsibility, and really did not expect that such a dramatic story would suddenly happen to her. Since this is the case, then the good people should do it to the end, and we must go all out to interpret this drama to the extreme!

Yanan squinted her eyes and rested for a moment, not realizing that the car had reached its destination. After getting out of the car, Shoko and his hostess were waiting for her in the shop very early. The hostess greeted her and smiled warmly at her and said, "Oh, it was you, sister!" Now it's up to the little brother to be alone. He also got on the train from Weinan early in the morning, and it was almost here, so let's wait."

After a while, the hostess's phone rang, and then she went downstairs. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, I saw the lady boss talking to a young man on the side of the road. The young man was neatly dressed, looking somewhat student-like, and he was still holding a large suitcase in his hand.

They had just chatted for a while, only to see the young man slowly crouch down and hold his head tightly with both hands, and it was obvious that the boss lady's little brother had returned. Then the hostess greeted them downstairs with a gesture: "It's time to go."

They quickly went downstairs, driven by the boss lady's husband, Yanan was placed in the front co-pilot position, and Shoko and the boss lady sister and brother were in the back seat. Along the way, they rarely spoke, but the lady boss advised his little brother from time to time, saying: "Things have already been like this, I didn't tell you earlier, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back and affect your normal work." Now all of us are thinking that our father will suffer as little as possible and get better sooner, so you must face it bravely, cheer up, and make our father happy to see you."

Yanan also felt that the air inside the car was a little stuffy, so he took the initiative to turn his head to greet the young man and said, "Hey, my name is Hui Yanan, I am a junior in Chinese University, it is a pleasure to know you!" The young man raised his head, his eyes were obviously a little moist, and he replied to Yanan with a slightly trembling voice: "Hello, my name is Ren Minglei, I just graduated from the University of Petroleum, and I am currently working in Weinan." As he said these words, a faint layer of redness appeared on his cheeks.

The car quickly drove to the front of the outpatient building of Xijing Hospital, the boss lady first instructed her husband to stop, and then told Yanan that they probably learned the words of the scene, and then they went to the nearby fruit stall to carefully select a few fruits, came back and handed them to her little brother, and said: "This is for you, you will go in and perform well." They looked at each other for a moment, then nodded in unison.

When they entered the ward, they saw several other relatives of their family, greeted each other, and then they all sat down. Only then did Yanan notice the old man lying on the hospital bed, he was as thin as wood, his face was sallow, and his two eyes were deeply sunken, it was really pitiful, and it was almost unbearable to look at it again.

At that time, the old lady was feeding him, and after waiting for a long time, the old man finally finished eating. Yanan quickly got up and took the lunch box from the old lady's hand and went straight to the bathroom to wash it. Seeing this scene, the corners of the old man's mouth moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, and then he murmured in a weak voice: "What a sensible girl!" How can people look at our stupid boy? Don't you think I'm old-fashioned and spend 300 yuan to hire someone from outside to get me? ”

The lady boss heard the old man say this, so they rushed forward to explain: "Where is it, Dad!" Don't think about it, we don't have that spare money. The two of them met through the introduction of classmates before, and they have been talking for nearly two years. Ming Lei has been afraid of you since he was a child, and you should also know very well, he said that if he let you know, he would definitely reprimand him for not doing his proper job and abandoning his studies. That's why we've been hiding it from you."

The old man's gaze slowly shifted to his young son's body, and he asked with his eyes, "Boy, is it true?" The boy nodded vigorously and replied, "Well, yes, Dad!" She's my girlfriend and we got better the year before. Dad, show you, this is my diploma and degree certificate! The young man said, and gently lifted the old man up with one arm, and at the same time showed the old man two certificates with his other hand. The old man watched, smacked his mouth, and nodded repeatedly. Shōko, who has always been agile, also came up to join in the fun, and gave a thumbs up and interjected: "Uncle, you are really amazing!" This is the result of your old man's life's hard work. Everyone said in unison, "That's it! "The ward was filled with warm and peaceful air for a while.

Later, the old lady pulled Yanan aside, asked this and that with joy, and said to her: "Our son, ah, is purely a nerd, only knows how to read and study since childhood, although others are honest and sensible, but they usually don't like to talk much, girlfriend you can help him a lot." If the boy is disobedient and dares to bully you, you will tell your aunt directly and see how I can clean him up. Yanan hurriedly said: "Auntie, Ming Lei is fine, he is smart and capable, and he knows that he is distressed, and usually many sisters around us call us model couples, and they are envious and jealous of us." I don't know why, Yanan suddenly lost her previous sense of restraint, suddenly opened the conversation box, and talked a lot with the old lady.

Later, when the others went out one after another, there were only Yanan, the young man and the old man left in the ward. The young man said, "Dad, if you feel uncomfortable, let me give you a massage." As he spoke, he began to carefully tap and knead the old man on his shoulders, arms, and thighs, and the old man closed his eyes lightly, and his face was filled with a kind smile.

In fact, Yanan wanted to help the young man at that time, but in her heart there was a little bit of concern, afraid that the play was too real, in case something flawed would be revealed, then the consequences would really be unimaginable. Therefore, she just secretly prayed in her heart: "God bless, uncle get better soon!" You are really a very great father, you can have such a filial son, it is really a blessing in your life, he is still waiting for you to recover, take you home and honor you well. ”

When the old lady returned, the young man took Yanan out to dinner, and on the way he said to Yanan: "In fact, when I came back this time, I already had an ominous premonition, but I really didn't expect that my father would be so sick, and they had been hiding from me, afraid that I would be distracted by work and study." Yanan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Don't worry, it's all right, Uncle will be fine."

When night fell, Yanan politely said goodbye to the family, and then got into the car and went back to her school. At this moment, she was walking alone on the wide Luanshu Avenue on the campus, the deep blue sky was dotted with stars, and an orange petal-like crescent moon was embedded in the sky, reflecting with the brightly lit university campus on the ground to form a beautiful and harmonious picture. A gust of night wind wrapped in the residual warmth of the air blows leisurely, and gently strokes through the ears, bringing people an indescribable comfort and coziness.
