Chapter 349 Twin Flowers

As soon as the bell rang after school, Xiao Xiao put all the things on the desk into her schoolbag as quickly as possible. She had to trot to catch the next bus to the city hospital, because if she missed it, she had to wait for half an hour.

She hoped in her heart that there would be an empty seat on the bus, so that she could sit down and squint for a while, even for a short time. This wish even she felt ridiculously humble. During this period, in the face of the division of arts and sciences, the pressure of study began to increase sharply. In addition, her sister Xiao Ai's condition was getting worse and worse, and it became more difficult to take care of her, which made her a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, there are not many people waiting at the station at this time, which means that her wish should be fulfilled. And what's happier than this is that the young man she often met at the station recently is also there. The man will leave for the same battle with her and get off at the hospital every day. The reason why she noticed him was that she was so sleepy that he reminded her when she was about to arrive at the station when she fell asleep unconsciously in the car.

The young man saw her and smiled at her. His face is very handsome, not too tall, always wears a white shirt, young, and smells like a book. Seeing his smile made Xiao Xiao inexplicably moved, as if she had been clicked, and her depressed mood seemed to be relieved for a short time.

The No. 5 bus finally arrived at the station. She boarded the car with him, and then sat in the adjacent position tacitly. Although sitting with him made Xiao Xiao a little excited, she was really too tired, so as soon as the car left the station, she fell asleep.

She had a dream in which her sister Xiao Ai did not exist, and her parents only had her daughter. She should be a few years younger than now, wearing a newly bought skirt, going on an outing in the park accompanied by her parents, eating the bento carefully prepared by her mother, looking at the green lawn, and the burning peach blossoms on her head, enjoying the ordinary and simple happiness, which she experienced for the first time in 16 years. She thought: Ah, the lives of other peers should be like this! If I can, I hope to stay in this dream forever and won't wake up!

"Hey, wake up! Arrived at the station!"

But a voice sounded in her ear, urging her to leave the wonderful dream. Someone's hand patted her face a few times, and the hand was very cold, so almost at the moment she was touched by it, she woke up from a deep sleep. When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be the young man sitting beside me.

Only then did she realize that she had just fallen asleep on his shoulder. Suddenly, she blushed her cheeks, like a frightened bird, and suddenly bounced away from him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."

I never thought that the young man was not angry. Instead, he smiled shyly and responded to her, "Nothing. I often fall asleep on the bus. However, it's time for us to get off the bus! Are you still going to the hospital today?

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Xiao nodded continuously and responded.

When she got off the bus, it was still a short distance from the main entrance of the hospital. She walked side by side with him and naturally began to talk. They had never talked like this before. That time he asked her to get out of the car and just patted her. The rest of the time, they almost relied on eye contact, so both of them looked a little nervous.

"Are you also going to the hospital to visit someone?" Xiao Xiao looked down at his toes alternately forward and asked.

"Yes, I went to see my mother." The young man took a deep breath and responded.

"I'm visiting my sister..."

"Real? Your sister should be very young, right?

"She is the same age as me, and we are twins." Xiao Xiao looked up and bumped into the young man's eyes, which made her nervous that she tripped over herself and almost fell down.

The young man grabbed her quickly and asked, "Are you all right?"

Xiao Xiao, who was still in shock, responded to him and said, "Nothing! Thank you!"

Xiao Xiao really hopes that time will be fixed. There will never be an end to this road. In that case, she can always go on with this young man like this, but the hospital building has appeared in front of them.

"I went in through the door over there! You are here, right? Well... see you next time!" The young man waved goodbye to her.

"Yes, have you... paid attention to it?"

"Yes!" The young man nodded and smiled and walked in the opposite direction of her without saying anything more.

"Goodbye!" She looked at his back and said softly.

As soon as she entered the inpatient building, the smell of disinfectant pulled her back to reality. She knew that there were still a lot of things waiting for her to do, so she had to put aside the hazy feelings about the young man first.

Xiao Xiao also loves her sister in her heart. Looking at her suffering, her heart will become very painful, but over time, this pain has become a habit. Since her sister fell ill, she has no opportunity to play with children of the same age. For most of the time she is awake, she has to be constantly busy, cooking, washing, cleaning and taking care of her sister Xiao Ai. Only after the whole family falls asleep can she find time to complete her homework.

There is a saying that "there is no filial son before the bed for a long time." What's more, she is just a child. Almost before she has experienced much childhood happiness, her life has been filled with suffering and hardship. Relatives have always been far away from their families, because everyone is afraid that her parents will open their mouths to them. Borrowing money, all of which made her prematurely mature.

People took the elevator one after another. She stood in the corner and came to the fifth floor of Area A of the inpatient building. The structure of each floor here is similar. From the stairwell to the left is the public rest area and nurse station on each floor, followed by several doctors' offices, facing the office is the large infusion room. Next to the infusion room are two bathrooms, followed by a ward next to each other.

Before Xiao Xiao came out of the elevator, she heard her parents' voices, which made her feel a little strange. Because they have to do some work at the same time, parents usually take time during the day to take turns to come to the hospital to take care of their sister, but there are not many when they appear at the same time.

They seemed to be arguing about why, but Xiao Xiao guessed that it was nothing more than difficulties in collecting medical expenses and so on. Since she can remember, they have often quarreled about these things, and she has long been used to it. Somehow, she decided to listen to their conversation in the elevator.

"Did you see the pile of lists just now?! Did I ask you if you saw it?! If you don't think about it, they will force Ai Ai to leave the hospital!" The mother questioned her father with a crying voice, which sounded a little emotional.

"I know!" My father still didn't say much and only answered briefly.

"Did you call your sister?! She just sold a house in Shenzhen. Can you lend us some more?!"

"I'll try my best."

"If you try your best, you will say this sentence! My brother is not as rich as your sister, and he has lent us a lot, but your sister..."

"Let's stop arguing, it's not good for others to hear! And it's time for Xiao Xiao to come later!" The father persuaded him in a low voice.

"Alas, even if you share half of Xiao Xiao's health with Ai Ai, why is the birth only a few minutes apart, but the difference is so big... She must have taken away all her sister's luck."

"What are you talking about?"

"This is not what I said. It was said by the master my friend who introduced me before. He said that Xiao Xiao's life in our family is too hard, and he competes with Ai Ai, so Ai Ai has been ill since he was born. If I had to choose, it would be better to have only Ai Ai's daughter. She is so cheerful. Even if she has such a serious illness, she never cries and always laughs, unlike Xiao Xiao..."

"Stop it! I don't want to hear this again! Xiao Xiao and Ai Ai are both our daughters. She has done enough for her sister. I look at her and feel that I am incompetent. If I can make more money, she will not have to take care of her sister while going to school.

"But..."

What did her mother say next? Xiao Xiao was already choked and couldn't hear clearly. She thought that if she cried in this place, she would soon be found by her parents, so she stumbled down the stairs.

She still remembers that there was a small flower bed behind the hospital building. In her eyes blurred by tears, the little flowers that could not be named were colorful. She fell into the sea of flowers and just wanted to make herself cry.

There have been countless grievances in my heart. I didn't expect that the efforts and sacrifices I have made for my sister for a long time have not only failed to impress her mother. My mother even thought that her sister's bumpy fate was caused by her.

Won't she laugh? She is also the same age as a flower. Why is she the only one with a sad face? Because she is too tired, not to mention laughing, sometimes she feels that it is so difficult to speak and breathe. Sometimes she feels like a machine that can't stop, and she can only keep moving forward until it is completely scrapped one day.

She couldn't help thinking about her dream. What would happen if she didn't have a sister? With their parents' salary, although their family of three is not rich, they can definitely live a well-off life. She doesn't have to take care of the housework and take care of her sister, and she will have a lot of time to waste like other girls.

Go to the KTV she has never been to, buy a computer, go shopping with other girls, and travel with her family... She wants to do too much, but all this has changed because of her sister's existence.

"Why are you crying?" In the haze, the young man's voice sounded again. He appeared behind her without warning and handed over a square handkerchief and said, "Don't worry, this handkerchief is clean!"

Xiao Xiao is crying darkly, her chest is tight and short of breath, and she can't speak at all. She took the handkerchief and buried her face in it. Her nose was completely stuffed because of crying, but she smelled a fresh smell like mint. She knew that the smell came from this handkerchief.

"My mother's ward can just see this flower bed, because I came to see you crying here! If there is anything distressing that no one can talk about, I would like to be your audience. The young man said gently.
