Chapter 113: Surgery
In the following time, Zhou He's coma began to get longer and longer. The doctor examined again and found nothing unusual. The cause can only be attributed to a tumor in the brain. The consultation was carried out again.
The atmosphere was low and depressing, and Zhou He couldn't feel it, every time she woke up, whether it was Xu Yuanning or Li Peiyuan, she was smiling.
It was stuffy lying in the hospital, Xu Yuanning occasionally borrowed a wheelchair to push her out for a walk, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she would always be stunned.
Three days before Zhou He's operation, Qi Jingran appeared in the ward. She looks doing well, and the makeup on her face is exquisite.
Zhou He lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, and his face was so pale that there was no blood at all. As if she didn't know her, she walked in step by step, hugged her and cried.
Xu Yuanning had already gone out when she came over, and there were only two people in the ward, her and Zhou He. She is an orphan, and she has lost all her relatives in this world. The only thing that still has something to do with her is Zhou He, a sister who is not related by blood but grew up together.
Zhou He was calm, waiting for her to cry for a while, and then said with a slightly helpless smile: "Okay, don't cry, it's not a child." ”
Qi Jingran still didn't want to believe it, and hugged and sobbed and muttered: "It's not true, you tell me, it's not true, it's not true." ”
Zhou He was silent and did not answer.
In fact, she had nothing to be nostalgic about. I don't think there's anything terrible about dying. The only ones who owe are Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan. She owes them so much, too much.
Qi Jingran calmed down after a long while, and the makeup on her face was already crying. Zhou He handed her a tissue from the side.
She took it silently, whispered a word to go to the bathroom, and hurried to the bathroom.
Zhou He leaned on the head of the bed and started to stay stunned again.
After Qi Jingran calmed down, she didn't ask anything, whether it was cleaning up the ward or calling the doctor to get medicine, she would be the first to go. When Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan came over to be in the ward, she would avoid outside.
Zhou He has been wearing a hat since her hair was shaved, she bought her a wig, put it on her seriously, and said that the wig is also very good-looking.
At this time, she was very much like the sensible big sister before, and Zhou He's heart was mixed.
The day before the operation, Zhou He didn't know how to remember the thing in Ren Yurong's hand. When Xu Yuanning was the only one in the ward, she asked, "Senior Brother Xu, have you got the things in his hand?"
These days, people have not talked about these things. Xu Yuanning didn't react for a while, but when he reacted, he said softly: "I've got it, don't think about it now, the doctor said to have a good rest." If you want to know, when you get better after the operation, I'll tell you everything, okay?"
The thing was indeed obtained, he and Li Peiyuan were in the hospital during this time, and Cheng Wei went to talk about it, I don't know what he promised, Ren Yurong asked Tan Ziran to give him the thing after thinking about it for two days.
They are still planning to go abroad, and when Ren Yurong's injuries recover, Cheng Wei will send them abroad. Although I don't know what he talked about with Ren Yurong, the price paid will not be small. Otherwise, Ren Yurong would not have considered handing over the things so quickly.
Zhou He nodded, smiled slightly, and said yes. Didn't ask anything more.
Xu Yuanning changed the topic and didn't stay on this matter.
The closer you get to the surgery, the calmer you become. But calmly, she was alone. Whether it is Xu Yuanning or Li Peiyuan, they often go outside to smoke.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, she would also see Li Peiyuan standing at the window for a long time. Qi Jingran's eyes are often red, and they can't be covered with heavy makeup.
She tried her best to make a relaxed appearance, telling some bad jokes to amuse them. But it's only for a moment.
On the first night of the operation, she thought she would not be able to sleep, but she fell asleep early while lying in bed.
The others couldn't sleep, and they sat down until eleven o'clock before Xu Yuanning said to Li Peiyuan and Qi Jingran: "Little uncle, Miss Qi, you all go back to rest." There's a lot to do after the surgery, so I'll just keep an eye on it. After a slight pause, he continued, "We all have to have faith. ”
That being said, the smile on his face was reluctant.
Li Peiyuan and Qi Jingran didn't speak, and in the end, Li Peiyuan stood up first and said, "I'll come over early tomorrow morning." ”
Xu Yuanning nodded in response.
Qi Jingran sat outside until twelve o'clock, quietly not knowing when he would leave.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night, and Xu Yuanning couldn't sleep. He stood by the bed for a long time, his chest pressed so badly, that he gently closed the door, intending to go out for a cigarette.
When I opened the door, I saw Cheng Wei sitting outside the ward. He had a cigarette between his fingers and a few cigarette butts at his feet, apparently for a while.
Xu Yuanning's footsteps paused, and after a while, he said, "I'll go down and buy something, let's go in and have a look." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Cheng Wei to speak, and walked directly to the elevator. He had nothing to sell, so he went downstairs and stood downstairs, took out a cigarette and smoked it.
Cheng Wei sat in the corridor for a long time, waiting for the smell of smoke on his body to dissipate, and then gently pushed the door open and walked in.
The light in the ward was dim, and all the lights were turned off, except for the light coming in from outside.
It was the first time in a while that he had come upstairs. He stood at the door for a long time before he walked to the bed. Zhou He's sleeping face was quiet, if it wasn't for the fact that his face was too pale, he couldn't tell that he was a patient at all.
Cheng Wei raised his hand, wanting to reach out to touch her pale face, but his hand was in the air, but it stopped again. After a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand.
Zhou He, who was asleep, didn't know if it was uncomfortable or what, and his brows suddenly furrowed. Gently turned the side of the body.
Cheng Wei's body stiffened, and he didn't dare to move when he stood there. It wasn't until she woke up that his body slackened a little, and he stood for a long time before reaching out and gently smoothing her frowning brow.
Cheng Wei stayed in the ward until more than four o'clock in the morning, when the sky outside brightened, and he left the ward.
Xu Yuanning did not leave, and stood at the window at the end of the corridor. Smoke curls between your fingers. I don't know if he noticed that Cheng Wei came out or what, he turned around.
Cheng Wei didn't go over to greet him, just nodded slightly, and walked towards the elevator.
Before Zhou He entered the operating room, Senior Brother Qiu, Shu Hua, and Professor Xu had already arrived. Everyone gave her hugs one by one, and no one showed any concern, smiling and telling her that they were waiting for her outside. And let her cheer up.
Zhou He smiled slightly and slowly entered the operating room. She didn't look back.
Cheng Wei stood around the corner until she entered the operating room, and then walked out.
The operation took a long time, and the hallway was very depressing. No one spoke. Cheng Wei should have a lot of things, the mobile phone rang from time to time, he directly pressed it off, and stood and smoked non-stop. His hands trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't control them and leaned against the wall.
The operation lasted seven hours, and as soon as the doctor came out, Cheng Wei immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt and stepped forward. After knowing that the operation was successful, his nerves, which had been tense, loosened a little, gave the doctor a big hug, and asked Li Jing, who came with him, to arrange for the doctor to eat after work. And let the prepared dessert fruit be sent to the department.
Although Zhou He's surgery was very successful, she never woke up for some reason. The doctor examined and everything was normal.
She woke up in the early morning of three days after the operation, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Cheng Wei beside the bed. His eyes were already red, and his hand moved, and he looked at her.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, he said in a hoarse voice that he was going to call a doctor, and soon hurried out.
The first to come over were Xu Yuanning, Li Peiyuan and Qi Jingran, Zhou He tried hard to squeeze out a smile and greeted them one by one. But the sound of the exit was like that of a newborn milk cat, so weak that it could barely be heard.
The doctor also rushed over after a while, but until the end of the examination, Cheng Wei did not appear again.
Zhou He's body is in good shape and he's recovering well. But in the end, it was still affected, and it was much slower to act than before. The doctor said it would take a slow recovery.
In this way, the result is already very good.
Zhou He was discharged from the hospital a month later, and her mobility was still not very convenient, but she was able to take care of herself simply. Qi Jingran left quietly half a month after her operation, leaving no words.
In this month's time, Cheng Wei has not appeared. Lao Cao would appear every few days, sometimes with porridge, sometimes with soup. All are conducive to wound recovery.
Although Li Peiyuan invited an aunt, he and Xu Yuanning still took turns at the hospital. Zhou Ji didn't want to trouble them anymore, and tried his best to take care of himself in all his lives after being discharged from the hospital.
The aunt who asked for it never resigned, and she cooked all kinds of soup for Zhou He with tricks. Zhou He can do very little every day, what he often does is to prune the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants, and water them.
All this is not difficult to do in normal operations, but it is difficult to do now. The hand is not very obedient and often needs to repeat and repeat in order to get things done.
If the aunt wants to help, she is not allowed, and she often sweats when she takes care of the flowers and plants in the yard. All of this was useful, and my fingers became more flexible. She can also walk slowly without relying on a cane.
On this day, as soon as she finished watering the flowers and plants, she inadvertently raised her head and saw Cheng Wei in the yard next door. He was completely black, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
He probably didn't expect her to look over, so he was slightly stunned, and then entered the house.
The courtyard on the left has always been empty, and the owner's family has moved to other places and rarely returns. When he appeared over there, it only meant that he had already bought the house.
Zhou He stood in place for a moment and slowly entered the room.
The aunt had already cooked the soup and beckoned her to come over and drink the soup. She smiled and walked over.
Today's cooking is black chicken soup, the oil foam is clean, and there is a smell of medicinal herbs. Zhou He worked hard to make his body recover well, and even though she was tired of eating whatever her aunt did, she would finish it.
Looking at the chicken soup in the bowl today, she was stunned. It wasn't until her aunt came out and asked her what was wrong that she came back to her senses all of a sudden. Squeezed out a smile and said nothing, and then drank the soup absentmindedly.
After drinking, she didn't go upstairs to take a nap as usual, but sat in the living room and watched TV. It's not so much watching TV as she's in a daze.
I don't know how long I sat there, but when I saw my aunt come out of the kitchen after cleaning up, she said, "You will go next door later, and invite Mr. Cheng to come over for dinner in the evening." ”
Cheng Wei lives here, and she is probably the only one who doesn't know. The aunt was stunned, and then responded. Said in disguise: "Then I'll cook a few more dishes in the evening." ”
Zhou Ji didn't ask her if she knew that Cheng Wei was next door, and only smiled and agreed.
Afraid that Cheng Wei would go out, Auntie went next door after a while. When he came back, he told Zhou He that Mr. Cheng would come over on time in the evening.
Zhou He was practicing picking up the small beans mixed together, and nodded in response.
Cheng Wei came early in the afternoon, he came very formally, carrying a box of fruit and a box of seafood. He was still dressed at noon, and he hadn't changed his clothes.
Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan hadn't come back yet, and after the aunt took the things, she carried them to the kitchen and made tea with them.
Zhou He was reading a book, invited him to sit down, and then put the book aside.
Cheng Wei watched her do these things, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Do you feel better now?"
The process of slow recovery is not easy. Occasionally, my head hurts, and my body hurts inexplicably. But she is much stronger than ordinary people, and she never said it.
Zhou He nodded and said, "It's much better." ”
Cheng Wei wanted to say something, but Auntie had already brought out the tea, he nodded and didn't speak again.
The aunt soon went to the kitchen to work, but neither of them could find anything to say, and finally Zhou Hexian broke the silence and said, "When did you move here?"
She had seen him today, so she couldn't hide it.
Cheng Wei was silent for a moment and said, "It's been a while since I came here." ”
Although he didn't say a specific time, Zhou He knew that he must have bought the house before she came back from the hospital. She didn't speak again.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Cheng Wei was a little apprehensive. When he came, he had already thought of what to say, and pretended to be calm and explained: "This place is quieter, suitable for living and investing. So I bought it when the owner wanted to sell it. ”
Zhou He didn't say anything, just hummed flatly.
Cheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it covertly.
The teacup in front of him quickly bottomed out, and Zhou He got up to go and pour him tea again, but he stood up before she went to get the teacup and said, "I'll do it myself." ”
He was familiar with this place, and soon went to pour his own tea. also poured a glass of warm water for Zhou He.
The atmosphere was much lighter, Cheng Wei looked at the books she put aside, and said, "I also have some interesting books over there, I'll come back tomorrow and bring them to you." ”
Zhou He nodded and said yes.
This was undoubtedly an encouragement to Cheng Wei, his back straightened a little, paused, and said: "The doctor said that you can go out for a walk appropriately, and if the weather is good on the weekend, do you want to go out for a walk." It was obviously inappropriate to propose to go out alone, he coughed, and added, "Your little uncle and Senior Brother Xu should be free on weekends." ”
Zhou He snorted at this time.
Originally, they were going to wait for Xu Yuanning and Li Peiyuan to come back for dinner, but neither of them came back. The aunt called and found out that Li Peiyuan was on a temporary business trip, while Xu Yuanning would not come back until later. There were only two people left at the table, Cheng Wei and Zhou He.
Cheng Wei was considerate, served Zhou He with dishes, and asked her what she wanted to eat. Zhou He replied that he would come, but he would still give her food from time to time.
Dinner was early, and it was still dark outside. So sitting is boring, Cheng Wei thought about it for a while, said a word to go back there, and then got up and went back.
He went and came back not long after, with a chessboard in his hand. Yang Yang to Zhou Heyang and said, "It's still early, let's play a game of chess." ”
He didn't wait for Zhou He's answer, walked over and put down the chessboard and took out the chess pieces.
Zhou He played Go in school, but his chess skills were mediocre. In the first game, although Cheng Wei released some water, she still lost quickly.
She refused to admit defeat, and the two came to the second game. With one time, Cheng Wei has already figured out her level. This game is naturally racking her brains and thinking about how to lose to her without a trace.
Zhou Ji is not stupid, and he can see his thoughts after a while. While falling on the child, he said without raising his head: "I don't need you to let me." ”
Cheng Wei's movements paused, coughed in disguise, and said, "I didn't let it." ”
Worried that she would be upset, he had to play at his normal level. This time, Zhou He is still the same as the previous game, and the loss is very ugly.
The more he loses, the more energetic Zhou He becomes. racked his brains to think about how to go, and gradually fell into his mind.
Cheng Wei didn't remind her that time was slowly passing, and accompanied her game by game. She lost ugly at first, and in the end, although she was still losing, it was not as ugly as before.
There was a game that he almost won, but Jiang was still old and spicy, and Cheng Wei was scheming, and he still won in the end.
The two played chess without saying a word, until it was more than ten o'clock, when the aunt came to remind Zhou He that it was time to sleep, and she stopped.
Cheng Wei put away the chess, said goodbye in time, and said, "It's not early, rest early." I'll be fine tomorrow, come and stay with you. ”
He didn't take his piece with him, and left quickly. Zhou He was still immersed in the chess game just now, thinking about it in his mind until he was lying on the bed.
Perhaps tired of thinking, she was not woken up by the usual pain this night, and slept until dawn. She didn't get up until her aunt came up and called her for breakfast.
She does a regular routine every day, watering the flowers and plants after breakfast, and then pruning the dead branches and leaves. The weather is nice and sunny today. She couldn't help but raise her head, squinting at the warm temperature.
Cheng Wei probably had something to do, so he didn't come over in the morning, but he asked someone to send a chess game over for Zhou He to see.
Zhou He didn't need anyone to accompany him to play, so he took the chess pieces and studied them while looking at the chess game.
Her fingers weren't very flexible, much slower than normal. Playing chess with her, I don't know how Cheng Wei's patience came from.
He kept his word and came on time at noon. I had a lunch here by the way.
The sun was good, and the two did not play in the house anymore, but put the chess game in the courtyard. The aunt also prepared cut fruit for the two of them and put it at hand, so that Zhou He could get it when he was thirsty.
Maybe it's because he studied the chess game, or maybe Cheng Wei is too clever in releasing water today, and Zhou He can win a game from time to time. Sometimes when she loses, Cheng Wei doesn't just accept the chess immediately, but talks about it to her. Tell her about his vulnerability, how she can win him.
Playing chess with someone who is completely inferior to yourself is obviously a boring thing. But he enjoyed it, and didn't seem to be bored.
The two of them went down to four o'clock in the afternoon today, and Zhou He looked at him when he got up and moved, and asked suspiciously, "Are you okay today?"
He wasn't supposed to be busy, he felt like he was idle.
Cheng Wei sighed, looked away, and said, "It's not very busy during this time, and there aren't many things." ”
He never blushes when he lies, and Zhou Ji doesn't know if he's telling the truth or a lie. After a pause, he said, "If you're busy, go and do your job, you don't have to come over." ”
"I didn't come here on purpose, and I was bored to be alone. Cheng Wei replied. He didn't continue on this topic, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "After sitting for so long, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Zhou He almost never went out, and even if he was active, he was only in the yard.
She was slightly silent and nodded her head in response.
Cheng Wei asked her in a low voice if she wanted to bring anything.
Zhou He shook his head, said hello to his aunt, and then slowly went out with him.
I haven't been out of the house for a long time, and the alley outside is both familiar and unfamiliar. Unable to find anything to go here, Cheng Wei took her around the box, afraid that she would be tired, so he stopped at the café on the corner and let Zhou He go in to rest.
After walking for a long time, Zhou He's forehead was already sweating, she didn't refuse, nodded yes, and followed Cheng Wei into the café.
The stone stairs to the café were a bit high, and it was difficult for her to get in. Cheng Wei stretched out his hand to help her. Zhou He said no, and slowly went up the ladder by holding on to the pillar next to him.
Cheng Wei's hand froze in mid-air, and it took a while before he took it back as if nothing had happened.
