23. 『 Old Dream 』

Gu Shengge had a dream.

In the dream, he made his body transparent and floated high in the air, and he looked down to find that there was a familiar room under his feet.

The old, bulky upright piano stood heavily in the corner. Next to the low piano bench is a row of wall-mounted bookcases stuffed with sheet music rolled up in the corners. In the corner of the room is a small writing desk, and the football swivel chair in front of the desk is full of vivid childlike fun. The star-covered wallpaper and the five-star-shaped floor tiles complement each other, and the football chandelier on the roof casts a warm yellow light, which is softly scattered throughout the room.

Gu Shengge looked at the warm room in distraction, he looked at the small bed with zebra pattern sheets in the center of the room, and felt a little out of breath inexplicably-

In the next second, a woman with a beautiful face pushed open the door with red eyes and walked into the room lightly. Behind her was a slender man with a gentle temperament - the moment he saw these two people, Gu Shengge's eyes were sour, he stared at the two of them tightly, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

When the man entered the room, he patted the woman on the shoulder gently, then he turned around and gently closed the door and walked with the woman to the small bed.

The bulging quilt on the child's bed was lifted, revealing the flushed face of the sleeping little boy inside. Gu Shengge covered his mouth tremblingly, he stared at the backs of men and women obsessively, wanting to step forward to see the faces that remained in his memory, but he didn't dare to move a step.

The woman lying on the edge of the bed gently stroked the child's flushed face, and the man behind her carefully crouched down close to the child and probed the child's body temperature with his forehead. Frowning and straightening up, looking at the boy with flushed cheeks unconcealed worry, the man reluctantly pressed his affection, and patted the woman's shoulder comfortingly.

"It's still burning, and it seems that the strength of the medicine has passed again. I can't give my son any more medicine, don't worry, I'll go and ask Dr. Lu to come over now." ”

The man frowned, then turned eagerly and walked out of the room. Looking at the man's nervous back, the woman touched the child's hot forehead and red eyes, she gently stretched out her hand and rubbed the blood left by the frequent water infusion on the child's small hands, and tears flowed down her fair face. Lying on the child's tiny body, the woman clutched her mouth tightly and cried. Gu Shengge looked at the woman's trembling back, and tears slipped down involuntarily-

He wanted to walk up and see the woman's face, he wanted to go over and hug her thin shoulder, he wanted to tell her not to cry, the boy would grow up healthy - he wanted to run up and take her hand, he wanted to look her in the eye and call her mother with a soft smile -

Tears gradually blurred her eyes, and the figure of the woman beside the bed gradually blurred from her vision. Indescribable, Gu Shengge's heart was filled with unspeakable panic. He struggled to spread his legs and strode towards the woman. He wanted to stop her, but he couldn't make a sound anyway, he wanted to grab her, but he couldn't help this transparent body. He ran forward with all his strength, shouting in his heart that it would take a moment, if only for a moment, if only for a moment.

He wanted to hug her, he wanted to see her face, he wanted to hold her hand again - this time he wouldn't watch her go again, he wanted to keep her, he could keep her!

"Don't go, don't go......"

"Wait for me, wait for me......"

- "Shengge, Gu Shengge, wake up-"

A deep voice echoed in his ears, Gu Shengge stubbornly ignored it, he gritted his teeth and watched the back of the woman in the distance gradually disappear into a cloud of mist, tears frantically washing his face. He stretched out his hand in vain, trying to touch the corner of the woman's clothes, but saw that the mist gradually disappeared transparently, and it was difficult to find it. A second before a qiē was about to turn into nothingness, he finally shouted out with tears in his eyes-

"Don't go...... Don't go! Mom-"

Everything in front of me fell into darkness.

Gu Shengge opened his eyes in a daze, staring at Zheng Hengzhao with a complicated expression in front of him.

The salty liquid slid wetly across the corners of his eyes, spreading all the way, imprinting a wet stain on the pillow.

Feeling someone wipe away his tears with warm fingers. Gu Shengge pursed the corners of his lips tightly.

He closed his eyes, and the hot and wet tears seemed to find the source of the stream, and they couldn't stop gurgling down the corners of his eyes.

Gu Shengge pulled up the quilt to cover his face, like the young boy in his dream, he curled himself up tightly in the quilt. After a long time, there was a heart-wrenching choking sound from the bulging quilt.

The young man buried his face deep in the quilt, and the soft sheets were wet with tears.

He opened his mouth in vain, a painful whimper from his dry throat.

He finally came to his senses.

His mother will never come back.
