Su Tang sat in front of the desk holding his cell phone, his eyes falling on the pot of lush begonia begonia next to the computer monitor without any focus, without any response.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Tang suddenly realized something.

"yesterday?"

"Yesterday morning, around 10:40."

Su Tang took a deep breath of air conditioning, and his entire chest was so tingling with ice from the air conditioning.

This time point is only 30 hours away from now. At that time, she was by his side and paying attention to everything about him. She could clearly think of every move Chen Yi had at that time, and even every curve of his lips.

Chen Yi's memory is much better than hers. Su Tang believes that he can remember what he was doing and what he was thinking more clearly than her at the first time.

And while he was doing this and thinking about it, he unknowingly missed the last opportunity to say goodbye to his mother in person.

How could Chen Yi be in good mood?

"I off work yesterday, I was on night shift today. I just arrived at the hospital, and I just found out..."

Song Yu's gentle voice carries a sense of calmness that medical workers are unique in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, and also a natural regret and heartfelt guilt.

Su Tang understood Song Yu's self-blame, but his mind was suddenly filled with the person who was sad in the hospital alone. He couldn't think of any decent words of comfort, but he only barely said "um".

What Song Yu said, but Su Tang had no impression of it.

Su Tang had no impression of whether the phone was finally hung up by her or Song Yu.

When Su Tang arrived at the hospital, Song Yu was standing at the door of the ward where Shen Yi's mother lived before her death. There were two middle-aged men standing at the door with Song Yu.

Su Tang walked over quickly, "Where is Chen Yi?"

“Inside…”

The door of the ward was closed. Su Tang was about to raise his hand to push the door, but Song Yu stopped him.

Song Yu climbed her arm and pulled her aside, pulled her apart from the two security guards, and then said to Su Tang softly, "Chen Yi had a little conflict with the hospital security guards. They might have to stay here for a while, just don't worry about them."

Su Tang looked up in a daze, and then he noticed that the two security guards' faces were very heavy, as if they were always ready to invite Chen Yi out of the hospital in the simplest and most effective way.

After trotting all the way from the hospital entrance, Su Tang's breathing was a little rapid, and the gas in his lungs frequently exchanged with the outside world, but he still felt a burning heat inside.

His sadness is always quiet and harmless, and he will never easily disturb anyone except himself. Apart from nostalgia in this space where there may still be a little bit of mother's breath, Su Tang couldn't think of anything else that Chen Yi could do to make the hospital security guards dissatisfied.

They were so anxious to free up the ward, and didn't even leave him the time for a while?

Su Tang gritted his teeth and asked Song Yu lightly, "Where is the renewal of this ward?"

Song Yu was stunned for a moment before reacting, shook her head with a wry smile, and then lowered her voice, "It's not because of this... Dr. Jiang took Chen Yi's mother's body away in the name of President Chen. When Chen Yi went to find her, she was checking the rounds. Maybe Chen Yi was a little excited, and the doctors were also afraid of affecting the hospitalized patients--"

Before Song Yu could finish his words, Su Tang cut it off in surprise, "Doctor Jiang?"

Song Yu frowned helplessly and nodded slightly.

Su Tang tightened his lips, and his lips were slightly white.

Chen Yi couldn't speak, so Jiang Hui naturally wouldn't stand there waiting for him to type or write to express his anger. When he went to find Jiang Hui, it was destined to be a futile emotional vent from the moment he started his feet.

It is not difficult for Su Tang to imagine Chen Yi's excitement at that time, but it is hard to imagine his quietness at this moment.

Su Tang felt a chill spread in her body, from head to toe, from inside to outside, there was no part of her body that was not cold, so cold that she couldn't help but tremble.

Su Tang had a lot of swearing questions, and didn't bother to say a word, and hurried into the ward.

The ward has been carefully sorted out. All the medical instruments that do not belong to the ward have been cleared out of the ward. Brand new bedding is meticulously spread on the empty ward. The desktop and floor and cabinets are spotlessly cleaned. Everything that does not belong to the hospital is put into a woven bag and is randomly stacked under the wall at the entrance, neatly and ruthless.

Chen Yi sat on the chair beside the bed, his straight back was deeply arched in a curve that Su Tang had never seen before, his legs supported his elbows and his hands supported his forehead without moving, and he was quietly curled up in the afterglow of the setting sun passing through the window, as if he was left alone in a world where he was alone.

Su Tang's nose felt sore, and he walked over and patted it on his shoulder.

The moment the palm of his palm touched his shoulder, the body as quiet as a sculpture suddenly trembled sharply like an electric shock, and the curled waist and back suddenly became straightened.

Without waiting for his reaction, Su Tang hugged him firmly.

Chen Yi froze in her hug for a few seconds, suddenly raised his slightly trembling hand and put it around Su Tang's waist, hugged it tightly, and buried his head deep into Su Tang's arms, as if the child who was bullied outside finally stumbled back home.

Chen Yi's face was tightly pressed against her arms, and his deep and uneven breathing brought out a wet heat, gradually penetrated her thin clothes and ironed the skin on her chest.

"Not afraid, no fear..."

Su Tang gently put his jaw on Shen Yi's head, stretched out his hand to caress his undulating spine, tears flowing down his mouth, murmured, not knowing whether he was comforting Chen Yi or comforting himself.

Chen Yi buried her arms for a long time. When she let go of her hand and raised her head, the afterglow of the setting sun almost fell, and the entire ward was sunken in a dim state. Su Tang still clearly saw that Chen Yi's eyes unexpectedly stagnated when they fell on her already crying face.

Su Tang was also stunned for a moment.

Chen Yi's eyes were slightly red, and he looked weak and dull, but there was no trace of tears on his pale face.

Su Tang couldn't help but want to touch the water-free eye with his own hands. As soon as he raised his hand, Chen Yi held it into the palm of his hand and sent it to his lips, kissing the hand that had just been soothing his back gently.

Su Tang looked at him blankly, "Chen Yi..."

Chen Yi looked up at her, held her hand in one hand, gently stroked her cheeks, which were wet with tears, and wiped them carefully. Then he used almost all his strength to lift the corners of his lips upwards, barely forming an apology smile.

Chen Yi let go of her hand and spoke to her slowly in sign language.

——Don’t worry, I’m very good, thank you for being sad with me.

Su Tang bit the corner of his lips and endured a short and strong pain in his heart, and grabbed Chen Yi's hand.

"Let's go."

Although the light is dark, such short sentences can still be read with ease.

Chen Yi stood up with Su Tang's pull, but used some gentle strength to stop Su Tang's steps, gently broke away from Su Tang's hand, took out his cell phone from his body, slowly and smoothly typed some words, and handed it to Su Tang a little apologetically.

——I’m sorry, I can’t leave the hospital yet. Dr. Jiang took my mother’s body away. When I went to find her just now, I was a little impulsive, which affected the normal work of the hospital. I need to calm down for a while, and then talk to her. If the talk fails, I need to contact my lawyer.

Su Tang was stunned for a moment.

He sat here alone, not sad, but reflecting on his own out of control and then forcing himself to calm down...

Su Tang pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head and typed a line of words heavily.

——You have calmed down enough, I will accompany you to find her.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly in the darkness. He was about to nod, but he seemed to suddenly remember something. He frowned and shook his head, raised his hand and patted Su Tang's shoulder twice to show comfort.

Su Tang knew what he was hesitating about.

At this time, I would inevitably have a fight when I went to find Jiang Hui, and quarrel was one of the things she feared the most.

At this time, he could still remember...

Another layer of mist appeared in front of Su Tang's eyes, his vision blurred. He gritted his teeth and held back the tears that had already reached the edge of his eyes.

——I am not going to find Dr. Jiang, I am going to find your mother. We agreed that we will introduce me to your mother today. I must see her. If you don’t take me there, I will go by myself.

Su Tang finished knocking on the words, stuffed his phone into Chen Yi's hand, turned around and walked towards the door.

Within three steps, Su Tang was grabbed by Chen Yi who was catching up with him.

The lights were already on in the corridor outside the door, and the ward door was half open. The two stopped not far from the door. Chen Yi could see the flashing in Su Tang's eyes and barely see the changes in Su Tang's lips.

"Do you take me there?"

Chen Yi nodded.

From the ward to Jiang Hui's office, the two security guards were carefully following Su Tang and Shen Yi. Chen Yi never looked back at them. He kept spreading his arms and gently hugging Su Tang's shoulders, making a natural protective posture.

The door of Jiang Hui's office was closed tightly, and Su Tang could already hear the vague quarrels from the door a few steps away from the office.

The two women were arguing. The door was solid wood, very thick, and the sound insulation was very good. Su Tang stood in front of the door and didn't hear what they were quarreling clearly. Only one voice was from Jiang Hui, and the other voice sounded a little familiar. Su Tang didn't remember it for a moment and frowned.

The two security guards obviously heard it, but they just looked at each other for a while and no one made a sound.

Chen Yi naturally didn't know the noise behind the door, so he quietly gave in and asked Su Tang to knock on the door.

Su Tang didn't like any kind of quarrel and raised his hand to knock on the door without hesitation.

The quarrel inside the door came to an abrupt end with the knocks.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hui's carefully modified gentle voice came out of the door.

"Please come in."

Su Tang twisted the door handle and pushed the door open. He saw the person in the room and smiled bitterly.

Jiang Hui sat upright behind the desk in a white coat and looked happy. Chen Yan, who was red in her face, stood in front of the desk.

Seeing Su Tang and Shen Yi coming in, the smile on Jiang Hui's face suddenly became a little stiff. Before Jiang Hui could speak, Chen Yan frowned, grabbed the bag on the table and walked out the door, leaving only a word for Jiang Hui without any anger.

"I have something to do tonight, so I won't go home."

The smile on Jiang Hui's face turned completely frozen. She glanced at the two people who were standing at her desk in front of Chen Yan, and fixed her eyes on Shen Yi's face. The voice was cold, but it was clearly filled with a hint of anger.

"Chen Yi, birth, old age, sickness and death are common. Patients die every day in the hospital. If you have any questions, go and ask the attending doctor. What does it mean to look for me this time?"

Chen Yi naturally couldn't answer what she meant.

Su Tang didn't go to see Chen Yi's reaction, but just looked at Jiang Hui directly. Apart from his distant politeness and his nasal sound just after crying, he was so quiet that he couldn't hear anything else. "Doctor Jiang, did you take his mother's body?"

Jiang Hui frowned, looked at Su Tang who spoke for Chen Yi, and raised her lower jaw slightly, "I took it away."

"Chen Yi is her immediate family. Why should you take it away without him knowing it?"
