55. Burst
In a few days, as soon as you arrive at the door of the meal, there will be a thermos bucket, all kinds of porridge and side dishes without heavy ones, Gu Nanfeng sighed that Ye Qiu's heart was as careful as dust, and at the same time, he couldn't help but praise her cooking skills.
Until one day she carried a bag of garbage and was about to go downstairs, and as soon as she opened the door, she was stunned, and when she looked at each other, the person was still on the doorbell with one hand, and the other hand was still carrying the thermos bucket.
Xiao Xubai quickly retracted his hand, and the expression on his face was a little nervous, "Eh...... That one...... Are you getting better with a cold...... Have you eaten? I ......"
Some incoherent words were intermittent, and in an instant she understood that the meals these days were all from her, Gu Nanfeng narrowed her eyes, and she didn't know what expression to use to face her.
Xiao Xubai's outstretched hand slowly drooped down, and finally put the thermos bucket on the ground, "I'll go first, you remember to drink medicine, and eat porridge while it's hot."
Her leg injury was still not healed, and she was still a little limping when she went down the stairs, she tried to straighten her spine, not wanting her to see the flaws, the sweat of the August heat had already soaked through her thin shirt, and the hair of the person who paid so much attention to her image was a little messy on her forehead.
Gu Nanfeng's heart softened, "Wait a minute, come in and drink saliva before leaving."
Xiao Xubai's eyes were hot, and when the wetness slowly subsided, he turned to look at her, and said softly: "Okay"
The layout of the house is still two bedrooms and one living room, but it is not as warm as the Rongjing apartment in the past, just a few simple pieces of furniture, and the LCD TV is full of dust, obviously no one has touched it for a long time.
"It's a bit messy, I haven't had time to clean it up yet" Gu Nanfeng put the garbage back in the kitchen, washed his hands, and subconsciously went to get the coffee beans on the cupboard.
"It's okay" I was already very happy to come in and take a look, Xiao Xubai appeared at the door of the kitchen, Gu Nanfeng was suddenly stunned, and the hand that put the bottle on it quickly retracted as if it was burned.
She used to drink coffee, especially freshly ground.
Xiao Xubai, who discovered this detail, was not only very happy, but also had a trace of sadness hidden in his smile.
"I don't sleep well now, I rarely drink it, it's okay to have white water"
Gu Nanfeng still opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of green tea to her, "That's all there is to it, let's just take it."
"Thank you, you can drink the porridge while it's hot, it's not good if it's cold"
Because of her illness, her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were covered with white skin, which made people feel distressed.
"I didn't expect your cooking skills to be good" Gu Nanfeng was silent for a while and didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to find something to say.
Xiao Xubai smiled and twisted the lid of the thermos bucket, put a bowl out and put it in the microwave to heat it for a minute, then tore off the plastic wrap and covered it on the plate, and sent it to the microwave.
"It was hard to eat at first, but then it got better"
"Have you eaten?"
After getting off work, I rushed home where I had time to eat, Xiao Xubai still smiled and pulled chopsticks from the bamboo basket to her, "I've eaten, you can eat"
It may be that the evening sun is too beautiful, gentle and not dazzling, and her attitude is also very calm, and neither of them will talk about the past, just like a few faint greetings like new friends, necessary politeness and detachment.
Gu Nanfeng thought about it and gave her a pair of chopsticks, "Let's eat together, I can't finish eating so much."
There is still half a bowl of porridge left, and there are still a lot of dishes, for fear that she will not be able to eat enough.
The last time they sat down to eat together so harmoniously, it seemed to be a long time ago, so far away that she couldn't help but wet her eyes when she thought about it, even if she still didn't have a trace of response to her attachment to herself, but the joy in her chest was about to overflow, and the pain of losing her was calmed down all at once, because she lost and regained, so she cherished it doubly, and even touched it carefully.
"You...... Are you with Ye Qiu? Seeing a coat on the sofa that obviously didn't belong to her, Xiao Xubai still couldn't help but ask, and felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
Gu Nanfeng was choked and shook his head, "No"
Xiao Xubai was relieved, and when he wanted to say something, the mobile phone ringtone rang abruptly at this time, and the ringtone, which was usually pleasant, seemed a little harsh in the quiet atmosphere, indicating that a certain uneasy feeling was spreading.
Gu Nanfeng hurriedly picked it up, it was a string of unfamiliar landline numbers, she just fed it, and there was a slightly hurried shout from the opposite side: "May I ask if you are Xu Shuzhen's family, we are from the emergency center of the provincial hospital, the patient has a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and is now dying, please come and sign it......"
Xu Shuzhen is her grandmother's name, and there seems to be a thunder explosion in her mind, and the bad news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day makes her not come back to her senses for a long time, until the spoon in her hand fell to the ground, and it broke apart with a loud bang.
She threw away the phone and chased after her, stumbling and knocking over the chair, Xiao Xubai quickly got up and chased her, "South wind!" "When I saw the key on the table, I didn't forget to hold it in my hand and lock the door.
She had a leg injury and couldn't run fast, so she could only chase her while shouting at her from behind, "South wind, danger, be careful!" ”
A silver-white car passed by her, Xiao Xubai rushed up and pulled her to the side of the road, only to realize that she was in a cold sweat and her knees ached.
Seeing that person was about to cry with an anxious face, Xiao Xubai couldn't help but secretly hate himself for being smart and not driving over!
This point is the rush hour after work, the taxi is very difficult to get, Gu Nanfeng stood on the side of the road and watched the traffic and couldn't help but burst into tears, is the tragedy of four years ago going to be repeated?
Grandma is already the last relative in the world, why should God be so cruel and deprive her of all her warmth.
"Mr. Xiao", a white Maserati suddenly stopped in front of them with a sudden brake, and the driver lowered the window and shouted.
Xiao Xubai dragged her into the car, and then turned her head to the driver and instructed: "Go to the provincial hospital, drive as fast as you want."
"Yes" the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car drove out of the speed of the car, attracting a series of horns and insults behind him.
The neurosurgery department of the provincial hospital has always been bustling, the corridors are crowded with people, tired doctors and nurses are shouting in low voices to let Yilet pass by, there are women holding children huddled in the corner, migrant workers in gray clothes stained with mud squatting and smoking, their faces full of helplessness, some crying, and some excited patients' family members are making loud noises.
The mixture of various smells fermented into a disgusting taste in the middle of summer, and Gu Nanfeng was dizzy for a moment, and reached out to hold the door frame.
"Xu Shuzhen's family?!" Someone shouted loudly, her eardrums buzzed, Gu Nanfeng was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, and she already had a hand firmly holding her and walking forward slowly.
"Here"
Tremblingly, she took the critical illness notice, but she seemed to have read it for a century in just a few lines, her head was blank, she didn't put pen to paper for a long time, and her hands kept shaking.
"South wind, grandma is still waiting for surgery"
Xiao Xubai's eyebrows were also anxious, but they were obviously much calmer than her, and a hand was placed on her shoulder, giving her the power of comfort.
Gu Nanfeng came back to his senses, glanced at her, and a decisive light suddenly burst out from the bottom of his eyes, and he signed his name on the paper with a brush, the strokes were messy, and the force penetrated the back of the paper.
The moment I put down the pen, all my strength was drained, and I suddenly collapsed on the chair and wept silently, burying my head and whimpering quietly, like a sleepy beast licking its wounds alone.
The lights in the operating room have been on, from twilight to starry sky, Xiao Xubai knows that it is useless to say anything at the moment, all she can do is to accompany her quietly and give her silent comfort.
The lights in the operating room suddenly went out, and a doctor took off his mask and hurriedly stepped out, "The patient has a history of hypertension arteriosclerosis, intracranial hemorrhage has reached more than 100 ml, and he is in a deep coma, even if he can wake up, it is estimated that it will be ......."
What he said was secretive, but Gu Nanfeng heard it clearly, his body shook slightly, and the sky spun for a while, Xiao Xubai helped her, "It's okay, right?" ”
She shook off her hand, although she was in tears, her words were sonorous, "I don't care what she will become in the future, if my grandmother can't get off the operating table, I'm not done with you!" ”
Her eyes were red with excitement, and no matter how beautiful her face was, a layer of hideousness had been added, and the doctor took a step back slightly, for fear that she would pounce.
"Hey, why are you unreasonable, the patient was already ...... when he sent it"
Xiao Xubai took a step forward and stood in front of her, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and imposing, "Do you know Professor Xie?" ”
Taishan Beidou, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who studied medicine as the originator of neurosurgery, did not know, the doctor smiled, with contempt on his face, "Are you kidding?" ”
"What are the chances of success if he directs the operation?"
"More than 50 percent"
Xiao Xubai nodded, "Okay, Professor Xie will call in three minutes to guide the whole operation."
The doctor's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he muttered "neuropathy" and went back to the operating room.
Xiao Xubai walked to the side and made a call in a low voice, and his face, which had always been calm and calm, also had a touch of burnt, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he hung up the phone.
Gu Nanfeng looked straight at the ceiling, the tears on her face hadn't dried yet, her heart was already hurting and she didn't feel it, if she could cry Xiao Xubai would feel more relieved, such a motionless appearance made people's hearts sour and astringent.
"South wind, it's going to be fine, trust me, it's going to be fine"
Xiao Xubai walked over and sat down next to her, and carefully put his hand on her shoulder, the person did not resist, trembling all over, and tears slowly flowed out.
"Don't ...... Don't leave me...... Grandmother...... Don't leave me behind...... I don't have any other relatives...... No more ......"
She was muttering a word over and over again, and after hearing it clearly, the distress in Xiao Xubai's eyes was incomprehensible, and she couldn't hold back the discomfort in her heart anymore, and took her into her arms.
"Nanfeng, you said that I was your luck, believe me, and believe in grandma, she loves you so much, she won't leave you, no"
I love you so much and will not leave you.
I used to think that even if we can't be together when we meet again, I can let go of you, look at you from afar, look forward to you, and protect you is the greatest happiness, until this moment I understand that I am reluctant to cry and reluctant to let you have a trace of sadness, reluctant that you belong to others, I would rather lie in it is me, and I want you to be safe and happy in this life.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa loved me too...... It's not like you're not going to say a word...... I don't believe it...... I don't believe it...... And you...... Xiao Xubai, you liar! ”
All emotions collapsed at this moment, Gu Nanfeng howled like a child, beat her shoulders, and cried like a complaint.
Xiao Xubai's heart was tightly clenched, almost suffocating in pain, but he still held her tightly, withstood her punch after punch, kept comforting her in a low voice, and in the end, his eyes were red.
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... It's me who is bad...... It's all my fault...... Not anymore...... Don't cry...... I won't leave you...... Grandma won't leave you either...... It's going to be fine...... A qiē will be fine"
