The chopsticks in Yan Jia's hand paused.

After a long time, he laughed out loud and turned to look at the woman: "Lin Zhi, do you know me very well?"

I don't know when a layer of scarlet appeared in his eyes, which were cold and without warmth.

Lin Zhi didn't speak anymore. Yan Jia stared at her for a long time before lowering his head and eating dinner alone, with a bit of frosty coldness in his eyes.

The winter nights are getting colder and the north wind is blowing hard.

Yan Jia's facial features were full of tiredness. He ate the dinner in a hurry and put down the bowl and chopsticks silently.

During this process, no one spoke.

Until the nurse knocked on the door.

"Mr. Yan, we need to check Miss Lin."

"Yes." Yan Jia stepped aside to let doctors and nurses enter.

He walked out of the ward alone and went to the smoking room.

The smell of cigarette smoke made him cough, and his jawline tightened. The white smoke slowly drifted across the side of his face, and there was silence all around.

This winter is extremely cold.

Halfway through his cigarette, his cell phone rang. It was Jiangshanyuan calling.

As soon as he picked up the phone, Zhouzhou's milky voice came in: "Second uncle... Zhouzhou has had dinner for the first time. When will you be back?"

"I'll go back later."

"Zhouzhou wants to play with you."

"What do you want to play?"

"Ball."

"Why do you like playing ball so much? Don't you have Go classes in the evening?"

"Second Uncle, how did you get to Jishima?" The kid on the other end chuckled, thinking that he could trick Second Uncle into playing with him again.

Mom is on a business trip, so he can secretly play with his second uncle without being known.

"Why should I go to Buji Island? Yanzhou, take classes well, and if you behave well, I will take you out to play on Saturday."

"It depends on Xiaohai's pain."

"Okay, look at Xiaohai it hurts."

"happy."

"Well, have a good time in class."

On the other end, Zhouzhou hung up the phone reluctantly.

Yan Jia's eyes were red, he was still a child, he didn't know anything and had no worries.

Zhouzhou has never seen his father since he was born. Lin Zhi has always lied to him that his father has gone out and will take a long time to come back.

Yan Jia smoked two more cigarettes and went back to the ward.

The examination had been completed, and Lin Zhi was sitting in a daze on the hospital bed, her eyes were dull, her face was pale, and there were dense needle holes on the back of her hands.

During this period of time, she had been living on nutrient solutions and glucose, and her face was sallow and her muscles were thin. She had lost a lot of weight.

Yan Jia didn't say anything, took his coat and left the hospital.

He did not return to Jiangshanyuan immediately, but went to a bar to drink alone.

Suffering from alcohol, he looked vaguely at the men and women dancing on the dance floor, his eyes filled with coldness.

In my impression, after Yan Feng entered junior high school, he became very busy with his studies and no longer had time to play with him. The two brothers rarely saw each other again.

But one time, probably when he was in junior high school, he invited a few friends to a bar for his birthday.

Yan Songyuan was very strict and did not allow him to smoke or drink when he was a student.

At that time, he was already very rebellious. He knew that Yan Songyuan didn't like him, so he no longer cared about Yan Songyuan's eyes. He led a few friends to the bar to drink and dance together. It happened that he met Yan Feng in the bar that night.

Yan Feng saw him, didn't say anything, smiled, stood up, walked up to him with a wine glass and said "Happy Birthday".

He thought that no one in the family would remember his birthday. His birthday was also the anniversary of his mother's death, and no one in the family would mention it.
