Surrender At a Glance - Chapter 45

Although many of the flags Yiyan once set have fallen down, she has really persisted in learning how to cook, and she has been addicted to it. Recently, she has often appeared in major vegetable markets, supermarkets and kitchens.

Recently, she has changed her tricks every day to make delicious meals for Jiang Xiche and her family. At the same time, she has received a lot of praise for her various fancy cooking shows on social platforms, which makes her enthusiastic.

After the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the taste of the New Year began to fade, employees of major companies began to rework, and big cities became busy again.

After Yiyan’s annual vacation ended, she went to work during the day and spent time at home in the evening, trying to cook a variety of delicacies, and sharing the production process on her live video software and Weibo, which made her a lot of fans. .

On this day, Yi Yan was going to make a mullet cake. After get off work in the evening, he went to the supermarket to buy the relevant materials, and later began to find joy in the kitchen.

The mobile phone was set aside with a cradle to record, and Yi Yan was busy alone in it.

When she was about to burn the batter, the phone rang a caller. She took the time to look and found that it was her grandma’s live-in nanny who was calling.

Yi Yan was surprised. The nanny at her grandma’s house hardly called her. It was 8 or 9 in the evening. Why did she call her suddenly?

She wiped her handle in confusion and anxiety, swiped her phone to answer, and turned on the hands-free, and the babysitter’s hurried voice suddenly came out.

“Hello? Miss, the old lady suddenly fainted at home just now! I’m taking her to the central hospital now, would you like to come over?”

The sudden bad news made Yi Yan shudder all over, and a strong sense of uneasiness came madly. She looked around in a panic, hurriedly turned off the induction cooker, and ran out with her mobile phone.

Before she could put on her coat, she took the key and changed her shoes and drove to the hospital quickly.

When she came to the hospital, Mrs. Yi was undergoing an examination, and the nanny was waiting anxiously. Yi Yan was anxious and hurriedly grabbed her and asked how Mrs. Yi fainted.

The babysitter shook hands and said nervously: “I don’t know what’s wrong. The old lady was watching TV at the time. I was cleaning in the kitchen. After I came out, I found that she was lying on the sofa and could not wake up. Terrified.”

“This… how come this nice guy suddenly fainted!” Yi Yan couldn’t understand, paced back and forth at a loss, and stopped abruptly after a while. “Have grandma been uncomfortable recently?”

The nanny recalled for a moment, and said truthfully: “She has headaches from time to time recently. I said to take her to see the doctor, but she was unwilling and said that there was nothing serious about it. It seemed that it was really fine at the time.”

Only then did Yi Yan remember that grandma said that she had a headache on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I didn’t listen to her later, so she didn’t care. She didn’t expect that ten days had passed, and she would still feel pain.

Now Yi Yan is even more worried. If it’s because of a headache that you fainted, then it will definitely not be a good thing.

The fact is indeed the case. After an unknown period of time, the doctor came over with the examination report and announced a bad news to Yi Yan.

Elderly Yi has developed a malignant tumor in the brain. It is estimated that she can only survive for about half a year without surgery.

When Yi Yan heard the news, she was stupid, almost unable to stand firm, tears burst into her eyes almost instantly, and she felt like the sky was falling.

She never imagined that her grandmother, who usually looks healthy and energetic, would become like this, suddenly standing on the line of life and death.

…

In the ward, the old lady Yi was not awake, lying on the bed and receiving fluid, Yi Yan stood by the bed looking at her, she suddenly felt that she was haggard.

When Jiang Xiche rushed to the hospital, the scene he saw was Yi Yan silly standing next to the bed, her thin body standing still with her back facing him.

It wasn’t until he approached that she found her head down, tears falling to the ground like drops of water.

His heart suddenly twitched, and he subconsciously pulled her into his arms, hugged her and said softly, “Yiyan, don’t be afraid, grandma will be fine.”

Yi Yan could hold back and not cry, but when he was so comforted, her shoulders couldn’t help but tremble, and her mouth made a sob.

“How could this happen, what should I do… The doctor said that grandma can only live for half a year at most, what should I do, Jiang Xiche…”

“No, now the medicine is very advanced. Grandma will get better, don’t cry.” Jiang Xiche rubbed the black hair on the back of her head with his palms, frowning lightly. When she cried, he didn’t know what to do.

These words were futile and could not comfort Yi Yan at all. Instead, she cried more fiercely, and said in a deep voice, “But the doctor said that grandma is too old and the operation is very risky. If it fails, I will never see you again. It’s her.”

Jiang Xiche’s heart sank suddenly, and his brows and eyes dignifiedly looked at the old man on the bed with his eyes closed. He couldn’t say a word for a long time.

It was also difficult for him to accept, the illness came so suddenly.

Yi Yan stayed in the hospital to accompany her grandma that night. She didn’t sleep well all night, and she didn’t know if she should tell her the truth about her condition after her grandma woke up, and what to say is appropriate.

Yi Yan didn’t go to work the next day. She still stayed in the hospital in fear, staring at the person on the bed from time to time, and her eyes were red again and again.

Elderly Yi didn’t wake up until noon. When she woke up, she felt her head heavy and her body weak.

When she realized where she was, she noticed a person lying on the bed, holding one of her hands tightly.

She moved her fingers, calling her in a weak and hoarse voice: “Yan Yan?”

Yi Yan slept in a daze, caught the movement, and suddenly raised her head. When she saw grandma’s pale smile, her face suddenly mixed with joy and sorrow, “Grandma, you finally woke up!”

Her eyes were red and swollen, and the old lady Yi smiled slightly stiff after seeing her, but she quickly recovered to the same level as before. She raised her hand to touch her eyes and asked with concern: “What’s wrong? The eyes are so red?”

“It’s okay.” Yi Yan hurriedly smiled and shook his head, “How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“Hmm…” Mrs. Yi touched her forehead and chest, and said slowly, “I feel a little heavy in her head and a little stuffy in her chest. What’s wrong with me?”

Yi Yan was struggling for a while, but still didn’t have the courage to tell her, Qiang Yan smiled and said, “It’s okay, the doctor said that this is a common problem of the elderly, and it’s fine to stay in hospital for a while.”

“That’s it…” The old lady Yi had a long ending, she didn’t know whether she believed her or not.

“Yeah.” Yi Yan Qiang endured the sorrow, swallowed with difficulty, pretending to tell her naturally, “Grandma, you must keep an optimistic attitude recently. The doctor said this will get better faster, and I will see it every day. Yours, bring you some delicious food.”

“Well, grandma hasn’t eaten your cooking for a few days, I miss it.” Old lady Yi smiled and cooperated with her.

…

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Yi has been in the hospital for a few days. These days, Yi Yan has been very tormented. She is very sad and scared, but she has to pretend that nothing happened in front of her grandma.

They haven’t told Mrs. Yi the real situation yet, for fear that this will affect her mentality and aggravate her condition.

It has not been decided whether or not to operate on her.

That night Yi Yan tossed and couldn’t sleep again, and sighed every other time.

She didn’t dare to sleep, and her grandma’s life was missing for another day after she woke up.

She has been in this state recently. The whole person looks tired. Jiang Xiche is really afraid that she will fall down one day, so he reached out and brought her over and whispered, “Yiyan, don’t think about it. go to bed quickly.”

“I’m so annoying, I can’t sleep.” Yi Yan pressed her cheeks on her shoulders, muffled, “You can’t understand how I feel, you don’t know how scared I am to lose grandma.”

“I can understand that she is also my relative, and I also hope that she is well.” Jiang Xiche said calmly, “You can’t change anything in your wild thoughts, and it will only make yourself uncomfortable.”

Yi Yan did not deny. She was silent for a while, and said in a lonely tone: “You know? Grandma is really good to me, even though I am now an adult, but when I am in a bad mood, I ran to sleep with her at night She would still tell me stories to sleep me like I did when I was a child, and treat me as a child forever.”

Jiang Xiche opened his eyes in the dark for a while and said slowly: “I can also tell you a story.”

“Really? You can tell stories?” Yi Yan became interested instantly, and put one hand on his waist, “Then tell me something.”

“Okay, you have to sleep well after you finish speaking.”

“can.”

Jiang Xiche first brewed for a while, “In the past…”

“Puff.” Yi Yan couldn’t help laughing, spitting out disgustingly, “It’s a cliché opening line, aren’t you trying to tell me about Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf?”

Jiang Xiche didn’t care, and continued to tell the story he wanted to tell her casually.

“There used to be a boy with a cold personality. In the third year of junior high, he fell in love with a girl whose personality was completely opposite to him. But he didn’t tell the girl what he wanted, and he didn’t have much interaction with her.”

“He has secretly crushed a girl for many years. Even though he is far away from her after graduating from high school, even if the girl may not remember him, he still likes her and pays close attention to her life.”

When Jiang Xiche said this, he stopped suddenly. Yi Yan waited for a while but couldn’t wait for him to speak, and asked curiously and anxiously, “What happened then?”

She was wondering if this was a story between Jiang Xiche and his sweetheart.

“Later they got married.” Jiang Xiche was a little confused at the moment, so he chose to be brief and concise.

“Wow.” Yi Yan secretly relieved, making an enviable and satisfied voice, but soon the question came up again, “but didn’t they have the same distance? Why did they get married?”

“It’s a long story.”

“Then make a long story short.”

After a brief silence, Jiang Xiche said lightly: “Like us, they are tied together because of interest.”

“Ah? So bloody?” Yi Yan was disappointed. “I thought they had reunited after a long absence, and then they had a romantic relationship, and finally entered the wedding hall.”

Jiang Xiche didn’t respond, so he didn’t expect it to be like this.

It was the first time that Yi Yan heard this story, and wanted to know the follow-up development, so she asked: “What happened then? Did that girl fall in love with that boy?”

“Well, later they were loyal to each other, their marriage was harmonious, and their children and grandchildren were full.” Jiang Xiche chose to lie such a lie, this is the ending he longed for.

“That’s great.” Yi Yan’s tone became emotional. “That boy finally spent the rest of his life with the person he liked, and he was very happy.”

Jiang Xiche: “Well, the story is over, go to sleep.”

“Wait, I still have no questions.”

“what is the problem?”

“How many years did that boy have a crush on girls? Why didn’t you confess if you liked it?”

Jiang Xiche counted the time silently in his heart, and calmly replied: “About twelve years. Not everyone likes a person and will confess, everyone will have their own concerns, subjective and objective conditions do not allow boys at the time. impulse.”

“I’m going, twelve years?” Yi Yan’s eyes widened, and she was really shocked by this number. She couldn’t believe it, “This man is too dedicated, right? Really? Who did you hear about this story? what?”

“When I was studying in the United States, I heard what a friend said.” Jiang Xiche lied again.

Yi Yan was sour and sighed: “I envy that girl, she must be very good, she can be remembered for so long by one person.”

Jiang Xiche was speechless.

After being distracted by his story, Yi Yan’s mood became less melancholy, and was moved by his act of telling stories to himself.

She raised her hand and touched his side face in relief, and said warmly, “Thank you for telling me the story. Go to bed quickly, otherwise tomorrow’s bad spirits will affect your work.”

“Yeah.” After accepting, Jiang Xiche turned his face and pressed his thin lips to her forehead for two seconds, his voice was very soft, “Close your eyes.”

His goodnight kiss seemed to introduce an invisible force into Yi Yan’s body and dispelled the negative emotions in her body. She was warm all over, smiling and closing her eyes.
