518. Please, don't die
Cheng Meng didn't believe Pete, and her sister-in-law didn't have anything more on the surface, but the melancholy between her eyebrows never dissipated.
Cheng Meng thought about it, but she still couldn't rest assured about her sister-in-law, worried that she would be uncomfortable staying alone in the hospital, and finally decided to call home and say that she would stay with her sister-in-law tonight.
Cheng's mother answered the phone, naturally couldn't help but complain a few words, and said that Tang Xiao was pampered, and the injury was not healed until now, and her son stayed in the hospital all day long, not to mention, and now even the little daughter she held in the palm of her hand since she was a child also circled around her. Cheng Meng couldn't help it, she held her mobile phone and whispered to her mother for a long time, and finally made her nod her head in approval.
It's not early, Cheng Meng began to urge Pete to go back, after all, Pete is here, and it is inconvenient for her to say some things to her sister-in-law.
Pete, of course, was so happy, and after making an appointment with Cheng Meng to pick her up the next morning, he drove away from the hospital.
Chengbei special forces training base.
When Pete found him in Sungyeol's dormitory, he was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, his pale face covered in cold sweat oozing from pain.
His phone fell to the ground, and it looked like the owner had no strength to hold it, so he let it fall freely.
In his impression, Pete had never seen Cheng Lie so weak.
Although Pete had something to ask, when he saw this situation, he immediately poured a glass of water and forced Cheng Lie, who seemed to be a little unconscious, to swallow the medicine.
"Retsuko, what the hell is wrong with you, what's going on?" asked Pete anxiously.
Cheng Lie frowned tightly and pulled his consciousness out of the boundless darkness.
For the unbearable pain of ordinary people, the darkness of complete loss of consciousness is the quagmire that can contain all pain, and forcing oneself to wake up from slumber is like pulling a dagger out of one's body, which only doubles the pain.
Pete clearly saw that Cheng Lie's body twitched slightly due to the pain, a pair of deep long eyebrows were fiercely crumbled, and the hands on his side were also so hard that the knuckles faded from the blood, and another wave of cold sweat seeped densely from his forehead, and his lips couldn't help but tremble.
But even so, he still retained the dignity of a soldier, and endured in silence in the midst of severe pain, without making the slightest sound.
The drug that was swallowed by Cheng Lie just now has not had time to take effect, and Cheng Lie is so painful at the moment that Pete, who is also a man, looks a little uncomfortable, he is really glad that his little girlfriend Cheng Meng doesn't know about it, and even more glad that Cheng Lie's wife is also kept in the dark by Cheng Lie, if they see this scene, I'm afraid they will be heartbroken and cry, Pete thought.
Just as he was hesitating to find a way to go to the infirmary of the training base to get some tranquilizers to help Cheng Lie relieve his pain, Cheng Lie, who was leaning on the back of his chair, opened his eyes slowly and silently.
His pupils dilated slightly, and cold sweat slid down his forehead, wetting his thick eyelashes, which made his usually deep and sharp eyes look moist and confused. The delicate and profound facial features like sculptures were soaked in layers of cold sweat at this time, and there was a cold jade texture in the pale complexion.
Compared with the past, at this time, Cheng Lie, who leaned on the back of the chair and lost his strength and was not even conscious, no longer had that sharp feeling like a sword out of its sheath, he was still surprisingly handsome, but the blood was pulled away from his face and body, and he was covered with a weak sickness, but the military uniform on his body was still straight, without a trace of wrinkles, and his face and posture were not tortured by the disease to the point of being inhuman, and the rigidity and weakness were mixed together, constituting a strange and indescribable beauty.
Pete dared to swear to God that he liked a beautiful and agile girl like Cheng Meng, he was by no means a, but when he was facing his good brother Cheng Lie, he was inexplicably stunned.
In this short period of time, Cheng Yeol gradually pulled himself out of the dark swamp, and although the process was extremely painful, he finally slowly came out of the state where he was unable to control his body and could only let the darkness erode his mind.
For him, he would rather be painfully awake than unconscious, unless he was involuntary.
Carefully adjusting his breathing, when the layer of darkness that enveloped his eyes dissipated, his thick black pupils finally returned to their former sharpness.
The next step is to control his weak limbs, not to let himself slump in the chair like a corpse, but to straighten his back and maintain the posture of a soldier.
In Pete's surprised eyes, Cheng Lie returned to his usual state in the shortest possible time, if it weren't for the fact that his face was so pale, and the sweat on his face had not dried out, just looking at this man sitting on a chair with a straight back and sharp eyes, who would have thought that he had just lost consciousness in pain?
"Liezi, what happened to you just now?" Pete couldn't hold back his question, it seemed that Cheng Lie didn't suffer any external injuries, because if there were injuries on his body, no matter how much he covered them up, with his observation, he could still see some unnatural ones, but at the moment, no matter how much he studied, his movements were not the slightest inappropriate.
"Nothing, a bit of a fever. Cheng Lie said lightly, picked up the teacup on the table and raised his head to take a sip of water.
"......" Pete almost couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, God, it hurts so badly, and he still needs to take powerful painkillers that can't be bought on the market, and he still tells him that he just has a little fever?
This answer is simply an insult to his intelligence!
However, Cheng Lie's expression was calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this statement.
Pete stretched out his long legs, hooked a chair from the side and sat down opposite Cheng Lie, looking at Cheng Lie seriously with a pair of blue eyes: "Brother, if you can tell me something, don't take it alone." β
Cheng Lie looked back very calmly: "Pete, thank you for helping me get painkillers." β
Pete: "......"
Say thank you and want to send him away? This guy is really a stuffy gourd and doesn't tell anyone anything.
"Liezi, you can trust me, don't worry, I won't tell Mengmeng. β
Pete said to Cheng Lie sincerely, "I know, you are afraid of worrying about your family, and I am also afraid of Meng Meng worrying, your family is now my girlfriend and the person I care about the most, I will definitely help you keep it a secret." β
"I'm really fine, Pete. Cheng Lie picked up the phone from the ground, looked at the time, and said to Pete: "It's not early, you go back and rest." β
Pete's eyes widened, almost a little angry: "Liezi, do you really think of me as your brother?"
"Of course," Cheng Lie said slowly, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so relieved to let Meng Meng be with you." Pete, take good care of Meng Meng, I'm just such a sister. β
Pete was speechless for a moment, he knew that for Cheng Lie, what a treasure Cheng Meng was, if it weren't for himself, he would indeed not acquiesce to Cheng Meng's love so easily, and often go out on dates with him.
Cheng Lie undoubtedly really regards himself as a brother, but in Cheng Lie's mind, his pain is often habitually borne alone, and he will never share it with others until he has to.
"Okay......" Pete couldn't help but sigh, he knew that he couldn't get any answer from Cheng Lie anyway, so he said: "Your wife cares about you a lot, I can see that she is very nervous about you, when I was in the hospital with Meng Meng, she said that she was worried about you and said that she was wrong - although I don't know what happened between you, but Liezi, I think, your wife is a good woman." We should be gentlemen when it comes to good women, right?"
He was obviously implying that Cheng Lie's behavior of throwing Tang Xiao's mobile phone into the water cup was not "gentlemanly" enough. In the eyes of Pete, a foreigner who has been taught to be a gentleman since childhood, he must be polite to a lady no matter what.
ββ¦β¦ It's really my fault about this. Cheng Lie stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his expression was very tired, "Pete, thank you for reminding me, I will take care of it." β
At that time, he impulsively destroyed Tang Xiao's mobile phone in anger, just to cut off her contact with Pei Yuansheng, this kind of behavior is really inappropriate for Cheng Lie, if he had one-ten-thousandth of his usual calmness and sanity at that time, he would not have done that.
However, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred, and in that case, it is too difficult to make a man remain a gentleman.
People who can be calm may be impeccable in their cultivation, or they may not love that woman at all.
After all, the very act of loving someone can easily destroy one's sanity. It is almost impossible to maintain the usual sanity in love.
"Liezi, I have promised your wife and your sister that although you need to carry out a small mission tonight, you will definitely show up tomorrow in a good manner, even if you don't meet, you will give them a call to reassure them, you don't let me break my trust. Pete finally had the opportunity to use the four-character idiom he had just learned recently, and couldn't help but wink at Cheng Lie a little proudly.
A smile appeared on Cheng Lie's blood-colored lips: "Okay, I know, you did a good job, and you deserve to be my good brother." β
"Of course. Pete added, "In the future, I will be a good brother-in-law for you." β
"I hope so. Cheng Lie laughed.
In the private sanatorium on N Island, in the silent ward, Pei Yuansheng, who was wearing an oxygen mask, was unconscious, his thin body was full of various tubes, and all kinds of data were displayed on the cold medical instruments next to him, if it weren't for those data showing that he still had faint signs of life, just looking at him lying on the snow-white hospital bed would give people the illusion that he was dead.
He seemed too quiet, as if it didn't exist anymore. The body covered by the snow-white quilt was thin and undulating, all kinds of instruments connected to his body, different drugs continued to enter his body slowly, and only his bloodless and even faint cyan wrists and the handsome and delicate face were exposed to the air.
After more than a dozen hours of surgery, his chest cavity was opened again unconsciously, and the doctors did their best to get his fragile heart to beat again, but it was too difficult, and most importantly, his body was too weak to bear the effects of the operation.
The exhausted doctors had no choice but to say that the young body, although still breathing, would be able to regain consciousness and open its eyes, and that perhaps he would die completely in a coma, and that scarred heart would remain silent forever.
Perhaps the doctors were right when they said that death was not a pain for him, but a relief.
For Pei Yuansheng, there is nothing easier than giving up and continuing to live a long life.
He probably wanted to sleep like this forever. When he slept like this, he would no longer feel the pain of his heart, and he would leave quietly and decently, like the enchanted prince in a fairy tale.
However, the people around him were stubbornly unwilling to give up his life, and they used the most sophisticated medical instruments and the most precise scalpels in the world to cut open his body, inject him with all kinds of expensive drugs, and restrain him like ropes to prevent him from breathing as he wished.
"I'm sorry...... Please, wake up, okay?" Jin Xiaoyi, who had been sitting on the edge of the hospital bed for an unknown amount of time, squirmed her pale and chapped lips, pleading over and over again.
She stared at him as he slumbered, her heart aching so much that she couldn't breatheβshe seemed to have a serious heart attack, otherwise she wouldn't have been so uncomfortable, and she even felt like she could feel how much he hurt.
Countless times, she wanted to reach out and touch him, but he was so quiet and illusory lying there, like a disembodied shadow, she was really afraid that he was actually dead, and the person in front of her was just her own imagination, as long as she reached out and touched it, he would be shattered with a "snap".
The doctor had already told her that he might or may not wake up, even Mu Zihao had accepted this fact, but she still couldn't accept it, she stayed by the bedside without eating or drinking, imagining that he would suddenly open his eyes.
But after a long time, he still didn't. She frequently turned her head to look at the instrument behind her, and the faint beating data on it told her that, at least for this moment, he was still alive, and he had not completely turned into a cold corpse.
She hated the tubes in his body so much, the big, cold instruments so much, she knew he hated these things even more, but now, her whole hope had to be pinned on these things, they kept him alive, they kept her by his side from despairing to death.
She searched and talked to him, despite the fact that he could not be heard in a deep coma.
However, she kept talking, trying to prove that he was still a man lying in front of her, not a pale and beautiful shell that had been detached from his soul and life.
Yes, even if he lay silently like this, he still looked wonderful, like a painting, or the finest work of art in the world, with an indescribable beauty.
Jin Xiaoyi remembered that Pei Yuansheng once told her in person that he hoped that he would be cremated after his death, and his ashes would be sprinkled into the sea-
However, no matter what, Jin Xiaoyi could hardly imagine that he was pushed into the hot furnace where the body was burned, and he was burned to ashes by the flames.
That's cruel. No one could bear to watch such a good-looking man turn into a handful of charcoal, she thought, but it would be another kind of cruelty to bury him in the dirt and let it rot.
"Don't sleep anymore, please wake up, okay?" her tears rolled down her dry eyes again, "I know, you love to laugh, you love her so much that you can't accommodate anyone else in your eyesβ I'm not greedy, I don't beg you to love me, I just want you to wake up and live well, no matter where you are in the world, no matter who you are with, as long as you live, it will be better than anything for me, I can not stay by your side, just look at you from afar, and know that you are still in this world, and I will be satisfied...... Pei Yuansheng, only when you are asleep can I call your name so unscrupulously and talk to you in my heart. You don't like me for talking, do you?"
She stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, smiled and said, "Anyway, it's useless for you to dislike it, you are now in a coma, sleeping so deeply, it is impossible to open your eyes to interrupt me and tell me to shut up." I'll go on, if you think it's noisy......
Her voice choked and she shushed, oblivious to the other young man standing outside the door.
"I really like you, I love you so much, I've never loved someone like this, I don't think I'll ever fall in love with anyone else again in my life......, right? Please, Pei Yuansheng, don't die, don't leave this world so early, do you know, the average age of Chinese men is already over 70 years old, if you can live at the age of 70, then you will not lose at all, you are so powerful, so rich, as long as you work hard and take good care, it will not be a problem to live to be 100 years old, isn't it?
She sniffed, looked at him who was sleeping and continued: "Since you love to laugh, then, you should fight for love, I know you don't want to hurt your brother, but you can continue to wait, don't you? The future is still so long, who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe one day, Xiaoxiao will find that you are better, maybe one day, you will meet someone who is very similar to Xiaoxiao...... As long as you live, the possibilities are endless, right?"
As if realizing that what she just said was a little inappropriate, she smiled embarrassedly, regardless of whether the other party could hear it or not, and explained to herself: "Hey, I'm not cursing Xiaoxiao for a divorce in the future, I really don't have ...... I just think that Xiaoxiao and her husband also have a lot of problems now, even if there is a 1% chance that they will not be together in the future, there is still a chance - if you survive, there will still be a little chance, of course, I hope you can meet someone you like more than Xiaoxiao, so that it will not affect Xiaoxiao's marriage, nor will it make you unhappy. β
She leaned forward, narrowing the distance between her and him, and then showed a mysterious smile on her face, and said softly: "Tell you, Xiaoxiao has promised me that I will come to N Island to see you, you won't hear the news, and you are willing to lie down all the time, right?"
