Standing at the door of the ward, Lan Li's footsteps paused for a moment, his right hand was on the doorknob, but he was suddenly a little frightened and didn't dare to enter it, but he still pressed his right hand, "click", and the sound of the door lock being released set off the silence of the entire ward more and more, exploding on the eardrum like thunder.

Wouldn't it be a good thing if his actions woke Paul up like that?

Then he was disappointed, and when he opened the door, Paul was still calm and calm lying on the hospital bed, as if time had been blocked out of the hospital room, and there had been no change. He stood at the door of the hospital room, looking at Paul silently, as if there was a cliff in front of him, unable to move forward.

"Hey. Lan Li tried to pull out a shallow smile, said hello, and then stood there blankly.

I looked at the decoration and furnishings in the ward uncomfortably, but the boring furniture still stayed in my eyes for a long time, as if I was visiting a friend's house for the first time. In the end, he still didn't hear the owner's greeting, so he could only sit down on the sofa next to the hospital bed.

His eyes were still busy, scrutinizing every nook and cranny around the bed, even the white sheets were able to capture the details of the texture, and it was not until everything around him had been studied that he looked at Paul again crampedly and cautiously, and then he could see the slightly swollen face.

Before, Lancet had stood outside the hospital room and looked at Paul through the glass window, but now when he looked closely, he seemed to see a completely different person:

The head was wrapped in a thick white gauze, which changed the shape of the head, I don't know if it was because of bruises or edema, the cheeks were slightly swollen, so that the position of the facial features seemed to have changed, the eyes were tightly closed, and the familiar blue eyes were no longer bright.

This kind of Paul is really too unfamiliar, not at all what he is familiar with, so that Lan Li was stunned in place, and all the thoughts in his mind disappeared without a trace for the time being, so he looked at Paul quietly, and then found familiar traces in the contours of those eyebrows, confirming that this was his best friend, and involuntarily, his nose began to sour.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth gently pulled out a shallow smile, hiding his embarrassment and embarrassment, he cleared his throat, and said hesitantly while trying to sort out his thoughts, "Hey, it's me." ”

During the first meeting with Derek Shepard, the doctor told Lan Li, "You need to talk to him. Anything, even if it's a random little thing in life, the past and present, or the next plan, there is nothing wrong with it, he can hear it all, you need to establish a connection with him, you need to make him understand that there is still someone waiting for him. ”

Isn't this a treatment for vegetative people?

But Lan Li didn't ask his own questions, deep down, he feared that such an idea might become a reality. So, he chose to shut up, just nodding his head in understanding.

All the way from the doctor's office, there are countless disturbing thoughts in my mind, and before I can speak, a thousand words and thousands of thoughts have already filled my whole brain:

About the idea of the project that a group of their friends gathered to work together, about Diesel's patience, about the recent changes in Meadow, about the small Florida fishing village they helped out before, about this year's surfing competition on the north shore of Honolulu, about the plan to travel around the island of Iceland, about their special experience in the crew of Hangwia, about the plan to try skydiving after recovery, and about the collective deflated ......

One after another, the ideas jumped out, surging out in a steady stream, almost overflowing. In recent times, so much has happened in his life and in Paul's life that it seems impossible to tell them all in one day and one night, and Paul still has many, many things that need to be updated immediately.

Yet, sitting beside Paul at this time, all the words were just boiling in his head, but he couldn't say a word, like a fool.

When filming "Interstellar" today, all the negative emotions were vented, as if the toxin had been removed, Lan Li finally found the long-lost peace, but at this time, sitting next to Paul, the faint sadness still diffused, all the calm and indifference were just temporary shelters, standing in front of Paul, the feeling of helplessness broke through the water again, spreading little by little.

Opening his mouth, Lan Li tried to say something, but as if he had lost his voice, he could only helplessly lower his shoulders, lean back in his chair heavily, and look at Paul with a sad face, for a long time, letting the silence and oppressive silence slowly spread in the ward.

Tugging at the corners of her mouth, Lan Li tried to maintain a relaxed tone, "...... Hey, say something. ”

Paul's honest and cheerful laugh seemed to echo in his head, "Haha." Or do you say something. You know, I've never been very good at talking. ”

"I hate hospitals. No, I hate hospitals. But you always make me have to face the hospital. Heather is like this, and so are you, you are all bad friends......"

Lan Li showed a disgusted expression and began to complain at Paul.

"Heather, she was going to be with me at the Grammys, she was going to perform 'The Beast' on the 'American Idol' stage, but she didn't wait, she didn't even say 'goodbye'......

You're the same now, it's not fair that you first said that we were working on a film project together, and then you left everything to me. So what's going to happen now? Are you going to wait for me to get everything ready, and then you're going to join in, and you can easily eat ready-made? Okay, I'm the first actor, you're the second actor, and if you slow down, Ryan and Jack are going to steal all your scenes.

…… I was talking to Cheryl yesterday and I found out that you used to be a troublemaker, did you almost tear down your father's car, and almost blew up the whole garage. Oh my God, what happened to you when you entered Hollywood and it became so boring? Hollywood is so boring, you should carry out your personality and make those Barbie dolls live!

And Meadow. Meadow......

Mei Duo is really a big girl, you know? Yesterday Mei Duo and I went to the convenience store to buy something, and a young man actually asked her for a phone number, and I scolded her and ran away. Ha ha. Meadow looked at my expression as if she had seen a monster, and you must be blamed for this, I was just doing my duty on your behalf. If it weren't for worrying about you, I'd have encouraged Meadow to nod, it's a handsome young man. ”

There was no pattern or any thought, it was just chattering in a chaotic manner, not even meaningful, he himself didn't know where these words came from, but as he spoke, his eyes moistened like this, and an indescribable sadness slowly spread in his chest.

"Paul, I ......"

The words were stuck in my throat like this, and all the thoughts surging in my mind became a mess, tangled for a long time, and finally I couldn't find a clue, "I ......"

Paul, I have many, many more stories to share with you; Paul, there are really a lot of things that have happened lately, are you sure you don't want to know about them; Paul, life is changing too fast and too fast, and there are too few things to remember, but at least there are some things worth fighting for; Paul, Meadow really needs you to be by her side; Paul...... I really miss you.

"Paul, I miss you. ”

Such a simple sentence was as heavy as a thousand pounds, staying on the tip of the tongue, unable to make a sound for a long time, and finally only turned into a cloud of water vapor that blurred the vision, and then stiffened in place crampedly.

Time stopped at his fingertips, and Lan Li's thoughts began to blur, whether the accident happened three days ago or five days ago? But he couldn't remember clearly, day after day, one thing after another, they were like being in a stormy wave, pushed forward by the waves, so that they forgot to identify the direction and position, and when they reacted, they could no longer find their own direction.

"My friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, and when we meet again, I will talk from the bottom of my heart, and when we look back, I will talk all night. See-You-Again. ”

In just a few days, it feels like a world away.

Time stuck in Paul seemed to freeze forever, and time stuck in them seemed to fly by at the speed of light. He didn't know that Mei Duo was deeply immersed in self-blame and suddenly grew up overnight, he didn't know that the whole world was shocking him by an accident, he didn't know that his vacancy was so big, he didn't know that his slumber had changed the lives of everyone around him, he didn't know that Lan Li's world was in danger......

If there is a reunion in the future, he hopes that they can sit down and have a long talk, quietly telling those interesting and boring trivial things of life, from the beginning of acquaintance, to the germination of friendship, to the bond of affection, they are friends, but not just friends, they are becoming a part of each other's lives.

"Why was the parting so hasty, why was the farewell so helpless, why did I turn away when I was most helpless? Even though I know you've found peace, the pain still lingers. ”

He's been through so much, but he still doesn't know how to learn to accept it. From Chu Jiashu to Heather to Paul, he thought he had learned to grow, but the subject of parting was still too difficult, like a scar left on his chest, which healed ten times slower and a hundred times slower, and may never heal.

He needs them to stay. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. With his strength alone, he couldn't go on.

"Go forward, please give me the courage to go forward. ”
