Chapter 209: I am here
Chapter 209 I am here
Xu Youyou looked dull and did not respond.
Xu Jialu's phoenix eyes were full of doubts and looked at Mo Shenbai: Can you do it?
Mo Shenbai's well-understood eyes flashed heartache, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and whispered something in her ear.
Xu Youyou's still eyelashes trembled suddenly, as if slowly gaining a soul and five senses, she bit Wang Xiaohui's mouth and let go, her teeth and lips were all stained with blood...
The contrast made her face paler, and she was as weird as a vampire.
Xu Youyou looked up at Xu Jialu, her eyes were like a dry well without waves, her lips stained with blood lightly pursed, "Brother..."
"I'm here." Xu Jialu saw that she had a reaction, and gasped out of her breath, "Brother is here."
"Grandma... is gone..." The red eyes stared blankly at him, then he lowered his head and smiled.
Xu Jialu's eye sockets suddenly turned red, misty.
Although he is usually an asshole, and he is not close to the old lady, but that is his own grandma after all.
When a loved one passed away, how could one not be sad.
Xu Youyou frowned, with a blank and aggrieved expression, and repeated, "Grandma is gone..."
She seemed unable to figure out why grandma was gone.
Obviously they only met yesterday, talking and laughing, and he promised to bring Dabai to see her together, and also to buy her favorite peach cakes.
Xu Jialu looked at her, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but fall down.
Not wanting to be seen by others, he turned his head and quickly erased, "Yo Yo..."
Xu Youyou didn't seem to hear what he said, she stood up from Wang Xiaohui, lowered her eyes, and muttered to herself as she walked out—
"Grandma is gone, grandma is gone..."
"No more... I can't see her again, I can't talk to me, I can't hug me, I can't feel her body temperature anymore..."
Mo Shenbai and Xu Jialu stood up, and the two looked at each other, both showing the same worried expression.
Xu Youyou grew up beside the old lady since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship with the old lady, which is not something they can empathize with.
Now that the old lady passed away suddenly, how could she bear such a blow!
Xu Youyou walked out of the security room and walked into the scorching sun, but felt colder than in the room, as if countless ice picks stimulated her skin, which hurt her heart.
"Grandma..."
She stopped, feeling as if she couldn't breathe, she clutched her heart, her expression was painful, her bloodstained lips were parted, but her voice was hoarse like the cold wind in winter pouring into a broken glass window...
The scene in front of me is constantly whirling, slowly fading, from colorful to black and white, and then gradually turning into black.
The leaves belong to the earth, the birds belong to the forest, the fish belong to the sea, and Xu Youyou—
to darkness.
When Mo Shenbai walked towards her, he saw her slender body fell into the mud like a butterfly blown down in a storm.
His expression was horrified, as if a building suddenly collapsed.
"YoYo…"
Mo Shenbai's face, which had always been in front of Mount Tai and remained unchanged, felt broken for the first time, and his thick, ink-like eyes were occupied by despair and fear...
Delirious.

Xu Youyou didn't know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes, her expression was dull. Looking at the scene in front of her, she felt strange and cold.
There was a sound at the door, and when he turned his head, he saw Mo Shenbai walking in with a glass of water.
Seeing her wake up, Mo Shenbai's tense face finally relaxed a little, "You're awake."
Xu Youyou opened a pair of big watery eyes and looked at him quietly, with a dull expression and no reaction.
Mo Shenbai walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, helped her to sit up with one hand, "Drink some water."
Xu Youyou blinked, and obediently drank half a glass of water.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" Mo Shenbai directly wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with his fingers.
Xu Youyou lowered her eyelashes, but still didn't speak.
Mo Shenbai probably understands that every time she is sad, she is reluctant to speak, as if she has closed herself off.
Worried but not in a hurry, he said in a soft voice: "Grandma's body has been transported back, and the mourning hall is set up at home, so that relatives can come to express their condolences."
Mainly worried that she would have an emotional breakdown if she woke up and couldn't see the old lady.
Xu Youyou's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still didn't speak.
Mo Shenbai took a deep breath, and asked patiently, "Do you want to go down and see grandma?"
Xu Youyou was silent for a while, then turned to look at him, without saying a word.
She obviously didn't say anything, but Mo Shenbai instantly understood what she meant, and turned around to take down a black dress from the closet to help her change.
Put on a black armband again.
He didn't know how to comb her hair, so he helped her into a low ponytail with his fingertips gently and clumsily, trying to keep every hair as uncluttered as possible.
took her by the hand and went downstairs.
Xu Youyou went downstairs and saw the coffin lying in the hall. Grandma was lying in it quietly, as if she was asleep.
Xu Jianshu and Cheng Ying wore hemp and filial piety and knelt in front of the brazier to burn paper money for the old lady.
Xu Jialu knelt aside in a black shirt that he seldom wore, lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Youyou followed Mo Shenbai, and walked step by step to the mourning hall. When she saw the photo of her grandma's death, her appearance was harmonious and loving. At first glance, she was a very easy-going old man.
Cheng Ying saw that she was awake, she got up quickly, and asked concerned: "Yoyo, are you okay? Is there any discomfort?"
Xu Jianshu also stood up, "You have been in a coma and haven't eaten for a whole day and night. If you want to eat something, I will ask Aunt Pei to make it for you."
Xu Youyou lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Xu Jianshu was a little worried and anxious, "Hey, don't keep talking, if you feel sad, just tell Dad."
Stretched out his hand to hug his daughter, but Yoyo grew up beside him, and there is still a gap in his relationship. Even hugging can't be as natural as a normal father and daughter.
"I asked the kitchen to make some porridge. She hasn't eaten for a long time, so she should have some porridge." Mo Shenbai said to avoid embarrassment.
Xu Jianshu nodded, "Oh, good."
Mo Shenbai looked down at the silent little girl, and said in a low voice, "Kowtow to grandma, and burn some more money."
He bent down and took the futon next to him.
Xu Youyou didn't kneel on the futon, but on the cold floor, and earnestly kowtowed three times towards the coffin.
Picked up a stack of paper money next to her and put it into the brazier, the jumping flames reflected on her face, but the warm background couldn't melt into her eyes.
Xu Jialu felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw her look more mournful than heartbroken.
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to protect Yoyo from being hurt or sad.
The porridge was kept warm in the kitchen, appetizers were prepared, and sent to the side hall.
Mo Shenbai took Xu Youyou's hand and walked to the round table, asked her to sit down, and personally put the spoon in her hand.
"Be obedient, eat something, don't let grandma feel uneasy about leaving."
Xu Youyou looked up at him.
Mo deep white and thin lips pursed lightly, and nodded slowly, like an encouragement.
Xu Youyou lowered her head and drank the porridge slowly.
Only drink porridge.
***
In front of the French window outside the living room, Xu Jialu held a cigarette **** between his fingertips, his eyes filled with pain, "She used to be like this."
Third watch, how far in the future is the rich woman I'm waiting for... I'm holding the number plate of Jiageng...
