CHAPTER XV
When Wen Yan woke up, the sun was almost setting, the clouds were glowing with a warm orange halo, the leaves were shaking in the sun, and the breeze was gently blowing the snow-white curtains through the half-open windows.
Shen Si sat on a chair next to the hospital bed, a pair of big hands wrapped Wen Yan's slightly cool hands in the palm of his hand, wrinkled his brows, and watched her move her eyelids with red eyes, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake?" He suppressed his voice and did not dare to speak loudly.
The eyes are astringent and swollen, I can't see clearly, but I can clearly feel the dazzling sunlight, gradually, every qiē of this world is three-dimensional, the silent and beautiful and decadent face, the snow-white walls around, the mottled light and shadow sprinkled on the quilt, and the wind that lingers on the tip of the nose and blends with the smell of grass and trees, all of them are so clear and real, there is no way to avoid it, and the light of the eyes is dimmed.
She's not dead!
It's really not dead!!
I can still remember the moment before I lost consciousness, she was so relaxed, so relaxed that every breath was so free, every cell in her body was shouting to wake up, as if she had entered another world, the images were intertwined, the light was bizarre, the qiē that she could see, the qiē she heard was sweet, so sweet that she wanted to sleep regardless of it. She didn't know what woke her up, maybe it was the scorching sunshine outside the window, maybe it was the silent tenderness and panicked call, maybe it was the fierce obsession and longing buried in the depths of her soul, yes, even if she lived a heavy and unbearable life, even if she always wanted to give up the glimmer of life that she might live, after all, she was still like an ordinary person, instinctively struggling and instinctively climbing up when she fell into the bottomless abyss. Death is the boundless darkness that she fell into after waking up from a midnight dream, and being alive is also something she has to face and endure as a person, even if it is broken.
Seeing that Wen Yan didn't speak, Shen Silent became anxious, grabbed her hand harder, and her voice trembled: "Yanyan, are you awake?" Look at me and say a word to me. ”
Wen Yan looked at him sideways, nodded, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly felt a tightness in his throat, and he couldn't spit out half a word.
Receiving a response, Shen Silent let out a long sigh of relief, his tense expression suddenly loosened, and his body relaxed, he looked at her pale face, and the pair of dark but bloodshot eyes, and whispered: "It's okay." ”
Wen Yan looked at him steadily, then rolled his eyes to look around, and said hoarsely: "I'm in the hospital?" ”
"Yes."
"Where's the burn?"
The chest suddenly suffocated, and her heart was suddenly blocked, and she still had the strength to worry about others at this time, did she take herself seriously? Shen Silence's face was pale, but he tried to slow down: "She's fine, Gu Heng is watching, you don't have to worry about her." ”
As if feeling relieved, Wen Yan relaxed her body and shrunk into the quilt, closed her eyes a little tiredly, and said in a low voice: "She's fine." ”
The silent and thick eyebrows were deeply frowned, and the roots were sharp, showing the resentment and dissatisfaction in the master's heart at this moment, what is this? Why did Gu Heng dominate Wen Yan, and even his women wanted to dominate Wen Yan, asking her to work hard for them, and even work hard for them?
And Wen Yan, why is she so accommodating and conniving, what does she owe Gu Heng, to be insulted and ruined like this by him?
Shen Silent tried to suppress the dullness and restlessness in his heart, and his voice was deep and hoarse: "Why? ”
"Because she is the person Gu Heng loves." Wen Yan's voice was soft, but he didn't hesitate.
Shen Silent stood up suddenly, unable to suppress the dryness in his body, mixed with the hot current in his chest and scurrying around, the whole person was about to explode, what did she mean? What the hell is this reason?
Shen Silent was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and was about to speak, Wen Yan subconsciously tilted his head and buried himself deeper in the quilt, as if he didn't want to say more: "I'm tired and want to sleep." ”
Her voice was soft, with a thick sense of tiredness, and her brows were furrowed when she closed her eyes and rested. Shen Jing had to suppress the anger in his heart, desperately resisting the urge to drag her up from the hospital bed, she was so pale and thin, even the sound of breathing could not be heard, when he just hugged her, he almost didn't feel a little weight, the whole person seemed to be only a skeleton, light and fluttering, like this, he couldn't bear it.
Silence sat down again in his chair.
"Let's go back." Wen Yan closed his eyes and said lazily.
Shen was silent, even if he didn't speak, he wanted to look at her, even if it was just to take one more look: "I'm here to accompany you." ”
Wen Yan pursed her thin lips and smiled: "But I want to be alone." ”
Shen Silent looked at her helplessly, these words were too hurtful, but he knew her stubbornness, he knew it since he was a child, and, no matter what, he had found her, knew that she was still intact and could be seen at any time, even if she was not happy, but the road was still so long, he was not in a hurry.
After Shen Silent left, Wen Yan fell asleep deeply, at this moment, she was too tired, too tired, she emptied her head and didn't think about anything, just sleeping.
The night was getting deeper, the air was filled with the misty coolness of the night, the snow-white curtains were blown by the night wind, and a sudden movement sounded from nowhere, and Wen Yan woke up suddenly, and his dark eyes looked fixedly around the room, but there was no other sound except the wind.
Raising her hand, she gently rested the back of her hand on her forehead, and stared blankly at the ceiling, she felt that her nerves were too tense, so she had auditory hallucinations.
After waking up, I couldn't sleep anymore, I looked at the ceiling for a while, and then turned my head to look out the window, I don't know what time it was, it was dark outside, I could only see the swaying shadows of the trees, the moonlight was like water, the stars were inlaid in the inky sky like diamonds, a few of them, clear and sharp, like someone's eyes.
Wen Yan lay on the bed, just watched quietly, from the deep night to the early dawn, and then to the rising sun, he didn't feel tired, he didn't feel sleepy, he just wanted to watch soberly.
When the morning dawned, people came to the hospital one after another, and there were some noisy voices in the corridor.
Shen Silence came early in the morning and brought some food to Wen Yan, but Wen Yan had no appetite and ate very little, so the two of them chatted in the room for a while, and then Shen Silence answered a phone call, not knowing what was going on, just hung up the phone and left in a hurry.
At about seven or eight o'clock, Aunt Lan came. And Wen Yan was leaning against the head of the bed, flipping through a book in his hand.
Aunt Lan was carrying a lunch box, which contained a few plates of green vegetables, white porridge, and bone broth that she specially boiled for Wen Yan. In fact, Aunt Lan didn't know what Wen Yan liked to eat, Wen Yan never mentioned that when preparing meals at home, they usually followed Gu Heng's taste, but Gu Heng didn't have any special preferences.
As soon as Aunt Lan entered the door, she glared at Wen Yan fiercely, didn't speak, walked to the hospital bed angrily, and put the lunch box on the small table on the hospital bed, obviously angry.
Wen Yan didn't dare to speak, Aunt Lan looked at her with her brows wrinkled for a long time, and asked angrily, "Are you hungry?" ”
Wen Yan nodded obediently: "A little hungry." ”
Aunt Lan snorted, handed her a bowl of soup, and watched her take it with a smile, feeling distressed and angry.
Wen Yan knew what Aunt Lan was angry about, so she didn't ask, just smiled slightly, and drank the soup with a spoon one by one.
After glaring at Wen Yan several times in a row, Aunt Lan finally couldn't help but start to think: "I've heard it, Wen Yan, you are a fool, someone must have saved you if you fell into the river, what are you doing, look at you now, there is no one to visit when lying here, but she is fine." After a pause, he exhaled angrily, "The young master too, knowing that she doesn't like you, she always puts you in front of her, and it turns out like this, the young master doesn't say to come and see, and the evil leader doesn't come, and his conscience is eaten by the dog." ”
Wen Yan knew in her heart that Aunt Lan was angry when she scolded so fiercely, just to show fairness, she took Gu Heng on her by the way.
Listening to Aunt Lan's chatter and scolding, Wen Yan smiled disappretently: "It's nothing, I just accidentally touched my head, and the doctor said that I could be discharged in two days." ”
Aunt Lan was still angry: "In two days, hum...... Just you are a bully......"
Wen Yan held the soup bowl and chuckled: "With you to protect me, who dares to bully me?" ”
Aunt Lan was amused by Wen Yan and spat out: "Poor mouth!" ”
The two of them were silent for a while, Aunt Lan glanced at Wen Yan with a complicated expression, wanting to comfort, but she was a little lacking in confidence when the words came to her mouth, "Actually, the young master didn't mean not to come to see you, it must be because he was too busy, and when he got busy, he ignored it." ”
Wen Yan still drank the soup and only smiled silently.
"That's right." Wen Yan raised his head, "I can't go back for the past two days, remember to help me feed Ding Ding something to eat, don't let him go hungry." ”
"Remember, don't worry." Aunt Lan looked at the white sun outside the window, sighed long, and then seemed to think of something, and sighed sleepily, "Yesterday I seemed to see the young master in the dog shed, as if he put something in the food bowl, I was busy at the time, and I didn't take a second look." After a pause, he muttered quietly: "It should be that I was wrong, how could the young master do this, I am really old, and my eyes are getting worse and worse." ”
Wen Yan held the spoon in his hand and did not raise his eyes.
Seeing that Wen was silent, Aunt Lan glared at her with hatred, and said angrily: "And you, don't be stupid in the future, she treats you like that, and you still work hard for her." ”
Wen Yan pursed her lips and looked up at Aunt Lan's face full of the vicissitudes of time, and her heart was sour. Aunt Lan is almost sixty years old, her cheeks are wrinkled, her temples are gray, her eyes are not very good in the past two years, she can't do too heavy work, and she can't stand for a long time, in fact, Gu Heng doesn't let her do many things, but she can't be idle, she just refuses to rest, a few years ago, she said to Wen Yan in private, knowing that her body is about to endure, but this is not because of how much hardship she has endured in her life, how much work she has done, but faintly feels that her time is coming, and her own body is the most important in her heart. She wants to take care of Gu Heng for a few more years when her eyes are still good and her body can still hold up, and in the future, even if she wants to take care of her, she is afraid that she will not have a chance.
At that time, Wen Yan had not fully understood the meaning of this sentence, and until today, she clearly saw the wrinkles that she suddenly gave birth to, the white hair that suddenly crawled out, her eyes sunken deep into her sockets, and even her previously clear gaze became cloudy, and she suddenly understood.
She's old, really old.
Wen Yan put down the soup bowl and sat up straight, closer to Aunt Lan.
"Aunt Lan, what do you think of the young master's treatment of Yan Ran?" Wen Yan looked at Aunt Lan steadily, and asked suddenly, even a little abruptly.
Aunt Lan was stunned for a moment, Wen Yan would never ask such a question, she would never know how to be herself well, and would not ask about other people's private affairs, especially Gu Heng.
But the look in her eyes told her that she didn't say the wrong thing, and she wasn't joking, she was serious.
Aunt Lan hesitated and pursed her lips: "That's it, I think it's very average, and I don't see it very good." ”
Wen Yan frowned lightly: "Speak from the heart." ”
Aunt Lan coughed, and hummed three words from her nose very reluctantly: "It's good." ”
Wen Yan smiled: "I also think it's good, they should get married soon." ”
Aunt Lan hurriedly supported her head with her hands, looking unacceptable: "Don't mention their marriage, as soon as you say marriage, I have a headache, I'm getting older, I can't serve this star lady, if she marries in, I'll retire as soon as possible." ”
Looking at Aunt Lan's embarrassed expression, Wen Yan smiled and quipped: "You won't retire, even if you don't like Yanran, don't worry about letting others take care of the young master." ”
Aunt Lan paused and glared at Wen Yan fiercely: "Your eyes are really poisonous, and your mouth is also poisonous." ”
Wen Yan laughed out loud, turned his head to look out the window, the sun was just right, and bunches of them were sprinkled down and fell on the leaves, each of which was crystal clear and full of green. Wen Yan curled the corners of her mouth, her clear face was like a vibrant sunflower in the sun, clean and beautiful, and full of longing: "Actually, I really want to come early on this day, if they get married, I can have a good rest, and at that time, I will leave the Gu family." ”
