3. Joe was miserable
It was difficult to pass the time in the hospital bed, and it was difficult to get through the gauze wrapped around the face, but the doctor told me that he would wait for a consultation with a specialist to decide when to remove the things covering his eyes.

The face burned by hydrochloric acid must be extremely ugly, which Qiao Mengchen has already expected. And from the uncontrollable screams of Gong Xiaoyun and her mother, it especially increased the psychological burden of the unlucky person on the hospital bed, although he knew that as long as he had enough money, modern medicine could reduce and heal these wounds to a large extent.
When there was no one around, Qiao Mengchen often touched his bumpy and pimpled face, fantasizing that one day he could catch even one of the perpetrators with his own hands, and then draw a scoop on the gourd, splash him with a strong sour face, and watch him scream and cry in pain. However, more often than not, what Qiao Mengchen thinks about is his own experience of playing games and playing football, especially the joy of getting top-level equipment or dribbling past others.
Finally, three days after the cafeteria contractor and the fat cook unexpectedly visited him, the hospital informed him that the gauze from his eyes could be removed. Prior to this, Gong Xiaoyun, as a family member of the patient, signed the medical record and agreed to temporarily end this period of treatment that was extremely painful for her boyfriend.
The hospital bed was full of people, Gong Xiaoyun held Qiao Mengchen's hand tightly, and looked forward to him opening his bright eyes with longing. As the doctor's movements stopped, what Qiao Mengchen heard was a few sighs and Gong Xiaoyun's long silence.
"Big ...... Doctor, you haven't finished taking the gauze yet, have you?" Qiao Mengchen forced out this sentence, and this time, he really couldn't believe his eyes.
Even though the doctor didn't speak, Qiao Mengchen felt that something was wrong. Because, the gauze covering his eyes had obviously been removed, but his eyes were still hazy, only his right eye could barely feel the stimulation of light, and his left eye was as dark as if he was blind. Qiao Mengchen rubbed his eyelids vigorously, blinking his eyes, he could only rely on the right eyeshadow to get a rough look, and even within a few minutes, he couldn't even see the familiar face clearly.
The most worrying thing happened, Qiao Mengchen grabbed the doctor's cuff and squeezed out a string of babbling syllables, as if begging the other party to say that he didn't want to live like a blind man in the future.
After examination, the doctor said that the retina and cornea of the left eye were damaged to varying degrees, and he was completely blind, and although the condition of the right eye was slightly better, it was estimated that he had to wear glasses of at least 1,000 degrees to barely see the outside world. The doctor's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, instantly extinguishing the little hope that remained in Qiao Mengchen's heart.
At this time, his despair can only be experienced by the person concerned. Later, I don't know what the people around him were trying to consol, but he didn't listen to a word anyway, and I don't know when they left, leaving him alone in the single room.
For the rest of the day, he did not get a drop of water and refused to eat, and the medical staff did not try to persuade him to put away the plate on time.
The next day, Gong Xiaoyun brought a pair of glasses, deep myopia glasses with a thick bottom of the bottle. In front of her, Qiao Mengchen didn't answer, he was afraid to see his dignity in the mirror through his glasses, and he didn't try to "talk" to her.
Seeing Qiao Mengchen sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down and not speaking, Gong Xiaoyun stood for a while, stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his hand, but when she saw his burned face beyond recognition, Gong Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, and stopped after stretching out half of it. Is this still her familiar boyfriend?
"Joe, I'm going to go out on business tomorrow, and I don't know how long I'll be delayed before I come back...... When I'm away, you have to take care of yourself and listen to the doctor......"
What are you doing as a student?
Silent.
Outside the window, the creeping autumn rain fell on the glass, ticking and ticking. Inside, Qiao Mengchen did not show even a trace of retention, which made Gong Xiaoyun feel extremely embarrassed and sad. Gong Xiaoyun stood aside in a daze, and then she had nothing to say but was already out of words, she stayed for a while, finally opened the door, and walked out ruthlessly.
Listening to the sound of the high heels fading away, Qiao Mengchen groped to find his glasses, and looked around to test the effect of wearing glasses. After opening his eyes, the layer of mist that had been blurry beyond comprehension was gone! Although only his right eye could see it, the clear world that had come back still made Qiao Mengchen a little excited, and he had not completely become blind!
The relief did not pass, and he was immediately driven back to reality by the ugly face that flashed through the glass. He touched the knots on his face and neck, and searched the room without finding a mirror. Bathroom, there's always one over there, right?
I saw it clearly, and in the mirror opposite, there was a face with crooked corners of the mouth, a scab on the face, and high glasses. Behind the dizzying lenses, the left eye was white, the right eye was terribly red, and under the lenses, most of the face was purple and black, as ugly as a burn.
Is this that ugly bastard Quasimodo from Notre Dame?
Ahh
Joe Mengchen punched and punched, knocking "Quasimodo" without a trace, leaving blood stains on the mirrors on the walls.
When the doctor on duty heard the movement, he quickly called the security guards and tied Qiao Mengchen, who looked like a mad tiger, back to the ward, lest he do other unpredictable stupid things and ruin the reputation and customers of the hospital.
As soon as it was tied, the dean heard the news. The dean, who had passed middle age, was tall and thin, and did not look like a bad-hearted person. He said that all of Qiao Mengchen's illnesses could be cured by modern medicine. Cosmetic skin grafting is not a problem, the right eye can be corrected by laser treatment and other means, although the left eye has been blinded, but with the development of technology, it is not a problem to use bionic technology to slowly restore vision. The real problem is the high cost of preparing for surgery as soon as possible, as well as waiting for a suitable cornea.
"You can actually be discharged from the hospital now, so it's only right to hurry up and prepare for the surgery...... Is that lovely girl your girlfriend? For her sake, I think you should also be brave enough to face the reality and work hard to change the fate that others want to impose on you!"
It should be admitted that although these words are too straightforward and realistic, in Qiao Mengchen's most confused days, the confidence and encouragement given to him by the hospital director made Qiao Mengchen retain the last trace of fantasy.
With severe vision deterioration and a short-term contract, Qiao Mengchen was no longer able to stay in his original position. Fortunately, the school leaders are not unsympathetic people, and in the end they gave Qiao Mengchen a job as a night security guard, saying that he would recuperate for a period of time and then take care of it.
Up to now, more than a month has passed, and the gangsters who committed violence have still not been found, and Gong Xiaoyun, who is in other places, has not been heard from as if she has disappeared, and has not made any phone calls to Qiao Mengchen, not even text messages. Like a gopher, he went out day and night, and Qiao Mengchen spent another week alone. After the night shift that day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go to Gong Xiaoyun's house to try his luck.
Put on a hoodie and cover your mask, and go out in the cool temperature. After being discharged from the hospital, he used this outfit to protect himself, careful not to frighten others.
After reversing two shuttle buses and walking for ten minutes, he came to the community where Gong Xiaoyun's house was located. The house opposite the right turn from the elevator is the residence of Gong Xiaoyun and her mother. The door was closed, and Qiao Mengchen stood for a while before hesitantly knocking on the door.
But after knocking for a long time, there was still no response in the room, could it be that her mother also accompanied her out to "run errands"? Qiao Mengchen felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but speculate. At this time, the door next door opened, and an old lady came out of it: "Are you looking for Li Anxiu?
That's a surprise, isn't it?
Li Anxiu is Gong Xiaoyun's mother, and Gong Xiaoyun has always lived with her. Doesn't it mean that Gong Xiaoyun will disappear together? Could it be that going to other places to do business is actually a scam, a scam planned to avoid Qiao Mengchen! Those strange plots that only appear in suspense movies are playing out in Qiao Mengchen's mind in an unexpected way.
Qiao Mengchen was a little dizzy, and he desperately held on to the wall to stand firm. In the old lady's monster-like puzzled eyes, he stabilized his mind and paused, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and wanted to hand them to the neighbor old lady. On the paper, it was full of words that were originally intended to be given to Li Anxiu's mother and daughter, and the content was nothing more than inspirational language such as thinking about it, and being willing to get rid of the habit of being lazy and procrastinating, and returning to school, and asking them to wait and see.
Afraid that the old lady would not know, Qiao Mengchen immediately took out the pen and paper he carried with him and wrote down the words "Can you transfer it to Li Anxiu". Knowing that there was little hope, Qiao Mengchen still had the last bit of luxury. The old lady went back to find reading glasses, and after looking at them, she said that she was willing to help with this, and she would try to contact the original neighbor.
From the beginning of the accident to the moment before, Qiao Mengchen seemed to have been in ignorance and nothingness, and he did not understand or was unwilling to pierce that cruel reality. From an ordinary person whose father doesn't love his mother and doesn't love him, who has a family but seems to have no home, to an ugly ghost who can't take care of himself in life! Who dares to send his daughter to the fire pit? Especially an only daughter like Gong Xiaoyun, who is very good in all aspects.
The two-year love marathon has made Gong Xiaoyun physically and mentally exhausted. thinks that at the beginning, Li Anxiu had a lot of complaints about this relationship, saying that Qiao Mengchen was not worthy of her daughter. Gong Xiaoyun has outstanding appearance, top-notch learning, and a large group of shameless suitors behind her, if she hadn't been able to give up this simple feeling, she might have been empathetic and don't fall in love a long time ago. Originally, Li Anxiu said that Qiao Mengchen couldn't support the wall, but later, in order to let her daughter who suffered with her get the so-called happiness, she still acquiesced to the relationship between the two.
As soon as the daughter went to the field to "run errands", the mother moved. Now, no matter how stupid Qiao Mengchen is, he faintly feels that something is wrong, in short, he may have been abandoned by his girlfriend, although not necessarily out of Gong Xiaoyun's original intention.
Walking out of the hallway, a high-end sports car with dazzling silver and half-rolled windows jumped into Qiao Mengchen's remaining sight. In the driving position, Deng Mingming, who was three times higher than himself, was looking down and fiddling with his mobile phone. Suddenly seeing Deng Mingming's appearance, Qiao Mengchen's crooked lips trembled slightly, and his heart seemed to have been shocked.
