Chapter 28: Happiness seems like a lifetime ago (I)
During the days of hospitalization, Haozhen saw Yiyi on TV once.
The cat raised by Grandma Zhang on the first floor of the apartment building where Yiyi lived climbed up a tree and was afraid to come down. Yiyi volunteered to climb up the tree more than ten meters high, ready to carry the cat down. However, when she climbed up the tree, she found that more than ten meters was so high. Why didn't she feel scared when looking down from the upstairs? When she was holding the branch tightly and shouting for help, the cat she wanted to save actually ran down by itself. Frightened to death, Yiyi's mother quickly called the fire department. Because their community had serious illegal parking during the day, and the main road was blocked by a decoration company piling up building materials, Yiyi was forced to hold the cat in the tree for two hours.
And all of this was recorded by the local livelihood program group.
Haozhen watched Yiyi hugging a tree trunk and waiting for rescue on TV, and smiled, thinking, "This woman is such an incredible child." Although he was younger than Yiyi, he began to call her "child" in his heart.
During this period, Yiyi came to the hospital to see Haozhen twice and told him that on this Sunday, Yiyi ran to her father's yard in the suburbs where she planted orchids, and ended up breaking an orchid. Her father was so distressed that he almost chased her with a knife to pay for the flower. The story was so vivid and thrilling that Haozhen laughed so hard that he almost got a stitch in the side.
Haozhen knew that it was impossible not to let go of Wei'er. Just by chance, Yiyi appeared in his life, and he deliberately and subjectively let Yiyi replace Wei'er's original position in his heart little by little. All his actions and choices now seemed to be forced by himself. He thought that after a long time, all this would become natural.
"Hello... Yiyi, can I make a date with you?"
After the wound on his head was almost healed and he was allowed to leave the hospital by the doctor, Haozhen couldn't wait to call Yiyi who had just been separated for a day.
Yiyi giggled on the other end of the phone and asked him: "Why? Give me a reason."
