Chapter 129: Xiao Chen Awakens
Three months later, in the Municipal Hospital of N City, the chief VIP ward.
"Chen'er, come, look, my mother made you barley pumpkin porridge today, smell it, is it fragrant?"
Yan Minxuan sat in front of a hospital bed with a bowl of fragrant porridge in her hand, and said softly to the person on the bed.
After three months of life-and-death battles, she finally understood what was the most important thing, compared to Chen'er, Xiao Shi seemed insignificant.
Even if they really lost Xiao Shi at that time, as long as Chen'er could wake up, she would not feel pity.
She and the old man spent their lives in camp for the sake of the Xiao family, but they forgot what they founded the Xiao family for.
Looking back, she realized that as a mother, she had never cooked anything for her son......
Fortunately, God is not kind to her, so she still has a chance to make up for her regrets.
If there are any gods and Buddhas in this world, then this is her greatest gratitude to it at this moment.
The gauze on the face and body of the person on the bed has been removed, and there are faint traces that are still mottled, which shows how badly he was injured at the beginning.
"Chen'er?"
Seeing that he was just looking out the window in a daze, Yan Minxuan called him again.
"Huh? Mom, what's the matter? Xiao Chen finally turned around, and there was a bland calm in his dark eyes.
"The doctor said that after two days when your physical condition is a little more stable, he can give you a skin graft, and you can rest assured that you will become the same as before. So, now you have to recharge your energy, come, drink some porridge. ”
Looking at the small bowl handed over by Yan Minxuan, Xiao Chen only glanced down, and wanted to refuse, but seeing the anticipation and exhaustion in her eyes, he obediently opened his mouth.
His cooperation made Yan Minxuan so excited that she almost cried, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "Chen'er, it will definitely get better, it will definitely be ......"
Xiao Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, noncommittal to her words.
The skin can be grafted, and the burned hair will continue to grow later, but ...... When will a broken leg grow back?
He hadn't seen Bai Ming'er since he woke up, he only vaguely remembered that she always seemed to be saying something in his ear, but he couldn't remember what she said.
To be honest, at this time, she didn't come to see him, which made him feel a lot easier, he didn't know how to face her, such a crippled self was no longer worthy of her.
There are also Doudou and Guagua, will they feel lost and sad because they have such a father, and even ...... Lose face?
Thankfully, they haven't had time to get married, and thankfully, they're not tied together.
Bai Hongcheng and his wife often came to visit him in the hospital, perhaps because they were afraid that he would think too much, Yan Minxuan and the Bai family couple tacitly agreed not to mention the situation of Bai Ming'er and the two children in front of Xiao Chen.
That's fine, let's cut off the contact, he doesn't want her to be with him like this out of pity or guilt, now he is just a waste.
"Mom, I want to go home."
After taking a few sips of porridge, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke.
"For what? Chen'er, although we can also ask a doctor to go to our home, but after all, our home is not a hospital, and we don't have such complete facilities and professional staff......"
"Mom, I'm fine. I just don't want to see this place, all the things that aren't here remind me of what a useless wreck I am......"
As he spoke, his hands hung heavily on the steel frames on either side of the bed.
Yan Minxuan hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand and stopped him from harming himself: "Chen'er, don't do this!" ”
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth tightly, his black eyes full of despair.
He used to be so high-minded, so invincible, so high-spirited, how could he accept the fact that he had become a cripple?
He didn't even know why he wanted to wake up, he didn't understand, what they wanted to revive him, if he woke up and found that he had become like this, he would rather die a long time ago.
"I want to live for what I want, and I ...... for what I want"
His voice was hoarse, with a deep pain in it, and he kept banging his head against the wall behind him, louder and louder.
"Chen'er ......" Seeing Xiao Chen like this, Yan Minxuan felt extremely distressed, when had their son ever been so depressed? He doesn't even have a thirst for life now!
"For what...... What are you ...... for" He still maintained his previous movements, as if he had long forgotten Yan Minxuan's existence.
No, it can't go on like this!
Looking at Xiao Chen's repeated self-harming behavior, Yan Minxuan felt that he should do something, even if it was to force him to live.
"Enough Xiao Chen!!" With a slap of "snap", Yan Minxuan used all his strength to hit Xiao Chen for the first time.
The fiery red palm print appeared on Xiao Chen's pale left cheek, and she even felt a hot pain coming from her palm, but, believe her, the pain in her heart was a thousand times worse than this.
"Xiao Chen, what qualifications do you have to be willing to fall here?" Yan Minxuan looked straight at Xiao Chen, "It's all your own choice, when you drove into that exploding warehouse with Han Qi, you should have thought that there might be such consequences!" Since you love Bai Ming'er so much that you don't even hesitate to exchange your life for it, so good, you have to have the courage to bear the consequences now!! ”
"Do you know how much I hate Bai Ming'er? She is a disaster star, as long as he appears, you will either oppose me everywhere, or become the person who is not a ghost or a ghost!! Have you ever experienced my feelings as a mother? Why on earth do I have to endure this torment like you? Seeing his son become what he is now, and still bent on dying, do you know how I feel in my heart?! ”
As she spoke, Yan Minxuan's eyes gradually turned red, and the fear and pain that had been pent up in her heart for months erupted.
"Xiao Chen, I want you to remember that from today onwards, your life is no longer your own!! Your own life died in that exploding warehouse a long time ago, and from now on, your life is mine!! Your father and I have only one son of yours, and I now order you, don't die, I want you to live well, live well......"
When it came to the worst of the day, Yan Minxuan couldn't cry anymore, she lay on the side of the hospital bed, her hands trembling and brushing Xiao Chen's no longer perfect face.
"Have a good operation, get a good recovery, get back up...... It doesn't matter if you can't stand up, mom is your crutch, and mom is with you wherever you want to go...... As long as you, as long as you live, so that I can see you, touch you, and hear you......"
"Xiao Chen, mom please...... Please......"
At that moment, Xiao Chen stopped all his movements, and he looked at the woman in front of him who was crying all over the place, and suddenly felt a little strange.
In my impression, my mother has always been a strong woman, she has never said such a warm sentence to him, maybe it is a long-term formulaic mode of getting along, so that he forgets that she is just an ordinary mother.
Yes, she was right, his life was not just his own, he could suffer by himself, but he couldn't cause her to suffer with him.
She gave birth to him and raised him, and did what a mother should do, and he, as a son, can at least do not let her suffer the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.
"Mom...... I'm hungry and want to drink some more porridge. ”
For the first time, Xiao Chen felt his physiological needs, as if he was really alive again, the feeling of an empty stomach was so obvious, and this was what it was like to be alive.
When Yan Minxuan heard this, she raised her teary eyes, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and picked up the porridge that was still half left before.
"It's a little cold, mom goes to heat it up."
"No need, Mom, just give me something to eat......"
"Good...... Good ......"
Yan Minxuan almost trembled and carefully fed the remaining porridge into Xiao Chen's mouth little by little, as if he was afraid that he was dreaming.
"Mom, my body is almost recovered, you can ask the doctor to arrange a skin graft as soon as possible, I don't want to use this face to meet people."
"You ......" Yan Minxuan couldn't believe his ears, was he really Xiao Chen? Is her son finally back?
Looking at the disbelief in Yan Minxuan's eyes, Xiao Chen took the initiative to reach out and grab her: "Mom, it was me who was wrong before, don't worry, I won't be like that again." You need me, Xiao still needs me, I can't just fall like this...... Believe me, I will soon change back to my original Xiao Chen. ”
When Yan Minxuan heard this, she whimpered directly, and then hugged him: "Chen'er, my Chen'er......"
Xiao Chen hugged back slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled bitterly, he really should reflect on himself, he actually made Mrs. Xiao, who never bowed her head and never softened, become so ...... It's soft.
Turning his head, he looked out the window, and the sun was shining.
In a blink of an eye, the midsummer of N City has arrived, and it is really a ...... The season of life.
"Mom, push me out of the city and go for a walk......"
"Okay."
Yan Minxuan cried and laughed and called two nurses, and after placing Xiao Chen in a wheelchair, she pushed him out of the ward.
It was noon, in the open-air park of the hospital, there was no one, and occasionally a few children playing under the trees were quickly called back by the parents.
It's strange, looking at the empty place in his trouser tube, Xiao Chen didn't feel anything anymore.
Anyway, life has to go on, and he can't choose life and death, so ...... Just accept it, just change your body and live again.
A child ran head-on, recklessly and almost knocked over Xiao Chen.
"Ouch!" The child suddenly sat on the ground, looked up and saw Xiao Chen, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry uncle......
Looking down, he quickly discovered that this uncle was "different", he saw his bumpy big "ugly face", saw his empty right leg trousers, but suddenly laughed: "Uncle, it turns out that you are the same as me!" We're all missing a leg. ”
There was joy in that voice, as if some great secret had been discovered.
Yan Minxuan, who had been standing behind Xiao Chen, turned pale when she heard this, the mutilation of her body was Xiao Chen's minefield, and he was finally willing to open her heart defense, she didn't want to fall short!
stepped forward, Yan Minxuan opened her mouth and wanted to reprimand this reckless child, but Xiao Chen was one step ahead of her and said, "You are also missing a leg?" ”
Xiao Chen looked the boy up and down, as if he didn't quite believe his words, after all, this child could run and jump, and he really didn't look like a disabled person with missing arms and legs.
"Yes!!"
The boy generously lifted his trouser tube, revealing the metal prosthetic leg inside.
