Chapter 48: The Turning Point
Early the next morning, the mobile phone ringtone remembered again, it was still the strange number last night, and it called in three times in a row and it was this abnormal time, thinking that there was something important, and I picked up the phone and walked to the living room before pressing the answer button.
"Zhen Rou, I'm Yu Te", this name, I have deliberately deleted it from my brain for many years, so when he reported his home, I was really stunned for a moment and almost didn't react.
"Hello, is there something wrong?" The tone was cold, and I couldn't listen to it myself, but my relationship with him could only be regarded as acquaintances at best, and I didn't know each other, and I didn't have much of a good impression of calling me at this time.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Chen Mo is hospitalized, and his condition is not very good. But in my coma I heard him call your name a few times, could you come and see him?" the voice on the other side of the microphone was low, muffled, and with a hint of pleading.
"He's sick, what does it have to do with me, we ended years ago. He has you by his side, and it doesn't matter if I go or not, does it? And you must be more dedicated to taking care of it than I am. Holding back his desire to ask about Chen Mo's condition, he coped with these two sentences painlessly, and already felt that his nerves were going to shrink together, and he just wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible.
"Zhen Rou, Chen Mo has been drinking too much alcohol recently, and he went to the hospital with a stomach hemorrhage yesterday, and he is still in a coma. You should also know why he was drinking. He has never let go of you for so many years, and there are some things in the middle that you don't know, perhaps, you won't think so after you know the truth. Could you please give me a chance to explain it to you in person?" Yu Te had never been so low in his mind except for Xiao Lin, and I didn't know how to take it for a while.
Yu Te seemed to feel the slightest wavering in his heart, and hurriedly added: "Please give me a chance to atone for my sins, let me tell you all this, after knowing the truth, whether you go to see him or not, I won't bother you again, do you think that's okay?"
I want to say that the past has all passed, and I shouldn't go over again, but Quan Yu and I are just getting better now, and I don't want Yu Te to call again in the future to make Quan Yu misunderstand, so I have to make an appointment to meet at the hospital.
When I turned around, I saw Quan Yu leaning on the door frame, a pair of eyes seemed to be about to penetrate everything, I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled, Quan Yu smiled back, and did not pursue it. sighed, went to change clothes and went to work together.
Sitting in the car, after a long struggle, he finally spoke, "Quan Yu, I have something to do in the afternoon, a friend is hospitalized, I'll go and see." ”
Quan Yu held the steering wheel and hummed, and after a while, he said, "I'll send you over." ”
"No, you go home and cook first and wait for me, I want to eat the boiled fish you made" grabbed the corner of Quan Yu's clothes in his hand and shook it, Quan Yu shook his head and laughed: "Gluttonous cat." ”
In the afternoon, he was a little absent-minded, and when he arrived at the agreed place, Yu Te had really been waiting there, he hadn't seen him for many years, but time was very gentle to him, except that his facial features were more tough, and he couldn't see any traces of being crushed by the years.
Yu Te was the first to speak: "Thank you for coming." ”
"How is Chen Mo. "I don't want to say too much to the chase, so I get straight to the point.
Yu Te ignored the unfriendliness in my tone, and said in a friendly tone: "I woke up for a while at noon, and now I sleep again." ”
I still asked him coldly, "Say what you want to tell me now, I'm busy, I'll have to go home for dinner later." ”
Yu Te ignored my hostility and asked instead, "Zhen Rou, after so many years, do you hate Chen Mo?"
Hehe, did you come to ask me how I felt until now? He asked him in a sneering tone: "What's the point of asking this now, why didn't you come and ask me this question when I was hurt by you as a teenager? ”
Yu Te frowned, as if he was talking with difficulty: "But for Chen Mo, these have not passed. Back then, he had a hard time, and it was Xiao Lin and I who lied to you. Yute paused, and his tone was solemn, and without waiting for me to answer, he continued:
"The scene where I took you to see Xiao Lin and Chen Mo by the lake was designed to show you a long time ago, after you left, Chen Mo also left, but Xiao Lin directed and acted in a suicide drama and jumped into the lake, which caused trouble to the families on both sides, Xiao Lin's parents were very angry, like Chen Mo's parents pressuring, so Chen Mo had to accompany Xiao Lin in the hospital for a few days. Chen Mo said that since he talked to Xiao Lin that night, the mobile phone has disappeared, and he was restricted from making calls in the hospital, so he asked me to come to you and tell you to wait for him for a few days, and come to you when he has dealt with it. But Xiao Lin had already greeted me and didn't allow me to help Chen Mo, so I didn't bring the words to you, and it was even more impossible for me to help you and Chen Mo after I accompanied her in that play before. For so many years, this incident has tormented my conscience. ”
I was shocked by the fact in his mouth, and after he talked about the deep and fiery memories that tortured me and Chen Mo, it turned out to be such an ending, and I couldn't help but sneer: "Do you also have a conscience?"
Yu Te continued, "I am also fully prepared to be despised by you, you can despise me as much as you want, curse me, I have been doing this to myself for so many years." Chen Mo didn't know that you had seen him and Xiao Lin by the lake, and after he finally asked his family to control him, I thought he would slowly forget about you in a few years. But things didn't go my way. I saw that he had been in love with you, in order to cut off his thoughts, tell him that you have been designed by Xiao Lin, and you saw such a scene, and you should not forgive him from now on, he pressed me to the ground and beat me for a long time, I didn't fight back when he beat me, and I felt that this is what I should repay, and since then, Chen Mo has cut off contact with me. ”
Yu Te was silent for a moment and continued: "It's a bit off-topic, let's talk about the things back then, Xiao Lin threatened her parents during the hospitalization, if you don't fire you, you will continue to self-harm, Xiao Lin's parents are only this one woman, and they have always been pampered." You also know the relationship between her family and the school, plus Chen Mo's parents don't want to tear up their faces with Xiao Lin's family because of this matter, and they also force Chen Mo to make a choice, either Chen Mo will give up on you, or you will be ruined and expelled from school. At that time, Chen Mo was only a half-old young man, and he really didn't have the strength to fight with the adults of the two families. ”
Later, Chen Mo made an agreement with them, on the condition that he would accompany Xiao Lin to study in the United States to ensure that you would successfully finish college. With his character, he will definitely not tell you this, because he thinks that if you tell you, in order not to drag him down, you may just pack up and leave the school and never contact anyone again, and he will have the opportunity to explain to you slowly after he leaves. Later, Chen Mo contacted you after he went to the United States, but you never replied, he thought you were hating him, and he was very anxious during that time. But if he soft-hearted, with the power of Xiao Lin's parents, you will be more than just expelled from school. Later, when you finished college, Xiao Lin and Chen Mo's parents put pressure on him, but he still couldn't come back smoothly, so he has been delayed until now. For so many years, he has never told you what he has done for you, and he has never told you how sad he is, but I have seen it all in my eyes, before Xiao Lin had been threatening me with himself, I couldn't tell you, but seeing Chen Mo like this now, I have no way to continue to be a shrinking turtle, I helped Xiao Lin make the current mistake with a single thought, and now, I want to try to redeem it. Zhen Rou, the Chen Mo you hated back then was not the real Chen Mo, the Chen Mo who could endure for you for many years in the past, and now can drink for you until you are hospitalized, is the real him. ”
Chen Mo, who was separated by a piece of glass, looked so unreal, and his brows were also tightly knit in his sleep, I don't know if he was uncomfortable or dreamed of something unhappy. I didn't even dare to push open this door and face such a Chen Mo.
After listening to the past described by Yu Te, which completely deviated from my understanding, I once felt that the past so many years were not my own life.
This man, whether I want to admit it or not, I have always hated him, but today, all the reasons why I hated him have been overturned. He is the great man who insists on giving, and I am just a narrow villain blinded by appearances.
When the nurse came, she was probably startled by the woman standing at the door with tears in her eyes, and explained to me that the people inside were not in danger of life, and they just needed to be taken care of.
When people are crying, there really can't be someone to come to comfort, after the nurse said these words, the tears seemed to be broken, no matter what, I couldn't hold it back, I cried until I couldn't stand steadily, sat on the ground and continued to cry, the past of this injury, for so many years, I have been forcing myself not to think, today seems to have cried out all the grievances accumulated over the years, crying to the end, I don't feel blocked in my heart, but the tears don't stop.
I vaguely felt that my hands were gently patting my back, and when I raised my head, it was facing it, Chen Mobo's eyes were surging with light. Chen Mo took me into his arms, his chin rested on my head, this intimate posture that I was used to doing many years ago, instantly broke my heart, until I cried until Chen Mo's clothes were soaked in a large area, and the nurse came over and forcibly pulled Chen Mo back to the hospital bed.
Chen Mo has been silent from beginning to end, and I don't know where to start. The moment Chen Mo lay back, he reluctantly smiled at me, and after a while, he began to fall into a deep sleep again.
looked at the red and swollen eyes crying in the mirror in the bathroom, and remembered Quan Yu who was still waiting for me to go back at home, picked up the mobile phone and wanted to send a message, but found that the mobile phone was also turned off, so he weakly put the mobile phone back into the bag, and continued to stare at himself in the mirror in a daze. Today's turning point came too quickly, so I didn't know how to face myself, how to face Chen Mo, and I didn't know how to face Quan Yu.
When I went back to the ward, Yu Te had already gone in, Yu Te said to let me go back early, and he would accompany the bed, and after a few sentences, I was really not in the mood to greet him too much, and seeing that Chen Mo was not a big deal, he tucked the quilt corner for Chen Mo and left.
The head was in a mess, gave up the means of transportation, casually picked a road and let himself go slowly, I don't know how long I walked, I saw a pair of young men and women who seemed to be making some contradictions, the girl's face was full of tears, she had been avoiding the boy's arms, covering her ears to prevent the boy from talking, the boy was sweating in a hurry, the anxiety and helplessness in his eyes were about to come out, it seemed that he really cared about the girl, but there was nothing he could do in the face of the girl who had collapsed emotionally, remember to turn around.
The boy hurriedly explained: "Listen to me, this is really a misunderstanding." ”
The girl's face was angry: "Is the fact I saw with my own eyes fake?"
The boy then explained: "The fact that you see with your own eyes may be a fragment that someone else deliberately let you see, a fragment that can be confused." ”
The girl didn't understand, and blindly wanted to break free: "I said a long time ago, we are not suitable, you are better than me in everything, so good, I am just an ordinary little girl, I am not worthy of talking about this kind of vigorous love with you, she looks better than me, her popularity is better than me, and the family is also compatible with you, you have more common voices, even if you can refuse her today, tomorrow there will be more girls like her who will come to you one after another, I don't have so much psychological capacity." Leave me alone, I'm going to collapse. ”
The boy looked anxious, followed closely behind the girl, and said anxiously: "I chased you at the beginning, if you really are as bad as you say, how can I turn a blind eye to others and chase you for so long? I have a heart on you now, how can I like others again? I really don't care, our family doesn't have any noble sentiments, only a few stinky money, but you are from a scholarly family, your parents are teachers, the cultural atmosphere is rich, you can often say a lot of sentences from ancient books and famous books, I admire you very much, I am also very inferior when I am with you, you know?"
The girl didn't seem to think that the boy could convince himself with such a reason, that he could belittle his family just to comfort himself, and his brisk walking steps slowed down, and his struggling hands became a little weaker.
As if comforted, the boy grabbed the girl's arm: "Do you remember the first time I saw you? At that time, I had just come back from the court, and I saw a girl dressed in white squatting under a tree as if wiping her tears. A gust of wind blows, and your hair flies back and forth in front of me, which is more moving than the plum blossoms in this garden. Later, I plucked up the courage to go over and talk to you, saying that I knew a doctor who could treat small animals, and you didn't suspect him, so I came with me, but in fact, on the way, I took advantage of your energy to be attracted by it, and hurriedly took out my mobile phone to check the veterinary hospital, for fear of making a fool of myself in front of you. Since then, I tried to get close to you, you always pushed me away, rejected me, I was very hurt, to be honest, there have been many girls chasing me for so many years, but you are different, no matter how you refuse me, I know, the first time I saw you, I can no longer escape from the palm of your hand, and then I finally overcame the thorns and tricks, so that you agreed to be my girlfriend, how could I fail you, you are my surprise, is my treasure. ”
The girl fell silent and began to cry one after another. But it can be seen that the mood has eased a lot.
The boy saw the timing and continued: "I really have nothing to do with her, we have known her for more than ten years, and we have always regarded her as our little sister, and have never given her any expectations. She came to me on her own today, and I didn't know it beforehand, I had already told her that I loved you alone, and I never gave her any unwarranted expectations. I thought I had made it clear to her, but she suddenly rushed over and hugged me, and I was just about to break free, but when I looked up and found that the scene happened to be seen by you, I was stunned and even forgot what to say. You turn around and leave, I will come to you after I break free of her, I have been looking for you for so long to find you, please don't misunderstand me again. I really just want to take out all the sincerity and show you a good look, and it's only your name engraved on it. ”
The girl seemed to be moved, but did not turn her head to face the boy. The boy's flustered appearance of dancing hands and feet was a little distressing in the eyes of me, an outsider.
I was next to me, as an outsider, but I seemed to see Chen Mo and me many years ago, and the boy's sentence 'The fact that you saw with your own eyes may be a fragment that someone else deliberately let you see, a fragment that can be real' deeply shocked me.
Yes, many years ago, it was also such a fragment that was enough to mess up, and it was also a conceited and stupid girl who thought that what she saw must be believing, muddying a love and messing up the lives of several people.
If I had been smarter and more rational back then, trusted Chen Mo more, and had less inferiority complex towards myself, would everything have been different? I just saw a big play directed and acted by Xiao Lin, and I easily gave up the relationship between me and Chen Mo that should continue from the beginning.
Suddenly, as if his brain was on the wrong foot, he went up and grabbed the girl's hand, and rushed out: "Little girl, listen to his explanation, we will not meet a person we like and cherish so easily in this life, don't miss each other because of a misunderstanding, otherwise, many years later, you will regret it very much, like I regret it now." I regret it so much that I want to jump off this bridge!"
The girl in front of her was stunned with tears, she should not have expected to kill a Cheng Biting Jin halfway, and the boy next to her was not ambiguous, taking advantage of her stunned kung fu, her arms locked him tightly in her arms, and the girl in her arms gave up the struggle, buried her face in the boy's arms and just cried, but she didn't make a fuss. Two hands wrapped around the boy. The boy winked at me, gave a free hand in a triumphant gesture, and opened his mouth to whisper thank you.
I know that the contradiction between these two people is in the past for the time being, and after walking for a while, I looked back, under the starlight, in the breeze, the two of them were kissing you and me, and the mood was half relaxed. Watching others be happy is a very happy thing in itself.
If I had been as rational as I am now, and had been able to listen to Chen Mo's explanations well, or if I had been able to firmly believe in Chen Mo, what would we be like now? Will we still meet Quan Yu?
