Chapter 1: A Drizzly and Breezy Night

Next Chapter

It was the usual early spring night, and the north wind that had not yet had time to fade gently washed away the hustle and bustle of the city during the day, and this spring night rain seemed to cast a soft veil on the sky, looking far away at the end of the sky, the soft lines of the two street lamps on the bank of the river led to the mysterious and unknown sky.

It's already half past eight in the evening, as usual, in this quiet and noisy urban night, there are some urban men and women who are drunk with the prosperity of the city, relying on the lights under the night, wantonly bursting out of their seemingly infinite youth. On the side of the pedestrian street, there are several small alleys, which are unusually quiet compared to the noisy and bustling pedestrian street not far away, and seem to have an invisible wall that separates the alleys from the noise of the city. The sound of a few crisp horns broke the silence of the alley, and a slightly dim light shone into an alley called Taiping Street.

Xiao Yu is a freelancer who sounds noble, but to put it bluntly, he is a jobless vagrant. Because he grew up in an orphanage, he has been self-reliant since he became an adult. But because of the lack of academic qualifications, in this era of valuing academic qualifications, it is difficult for Xiao Yu, who only has an orphanage education, to find a formal job. So in the past few years of begging for a living, he has relied on some scattered part-time jobs to reluctantly take root in this city.

The electric car stopped in a rather old residential building unit, Xiao Yu got up and got out of the car, locked the lock, went up to the fourth floor, and returned to his own single suite for the time being. Entering the room and turning on the light, this is an ordinary single suite in the city, a small living room connected to the bedroom, with a separate bathroom and kitchen. The decoration is not luxurious, and it is very simple, there is a guest table or dining table in the center of the living room, as well as a few chairs, and there is even a wooden sofa, as for the air conditioner, refrigerator TV, then there is really nothing. It's okay to be in the bedroom, there is a bed, a fan, a computer desk, and even a computer, especially a computer, I have to say that in this era, as long as young people have a computer, other furniture and electrical appliances are not so important.

Xiao Yu came to the kitchen, poured himself a cup of cold boiled water with a teacup, brought it to the bedroom, drank a few sips, and put it next to the computer. He shrugged his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief, took out his mobile phone keys and wallet in his pocket, put them on the computer desk at random, and lay down on the bed behind him. Looking at the ceiling, Xiao Yu had some thoughts wandering in his mind, thinking back to the past few years of his hard work, and unconsciously, he remembered the past of the orphanage.

In fact, there are not many orphans of the same age as him in the orphanage where he lives, and there are no more than thirty together with him. These orphans are either congenitally disabled or have some birth defects, and there are not many people like Xiao Yu who have normal intelligence and appear to be able-bodied but have no one to adopt. Most orphans will be adopted by kind people at a very young age, but Xiao Yu has been frail and sick since he was a child, listening to the aunt in the orphanage, whenever someone has thoughts about Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu happened to be sick during that time, so he was frail and sick since he was a child, and he was dragged on until he was six years old when he went to elementary school, and no one adopted him. Later, as he grew older, Xiao Yu, who had always been healthy and talented, had to leave the orphanage where he had lived for 18 years until he reached adulthood, and wandered into this strange society.

On the day of the parting ceremony, the dean, who was over fifty years old, called Xiao Yu to his office alone, and patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder seriously, "Xiaoyu, you are a good boy, but unfortunately your luck is not very good, since you were discovered by the previous Dean Xiao when you were a baby, it has been eighteen years now, and the previous dean seems to be very worried about you before leaving." He once asked me to bring a message, saying that when you leave the orphanage as an adult, you should take good care of your body, don't be too tired, and live well no matter what......"

"Hey!" Xiao Yu, who came back to his senses, sighed, "Live well...... Dean, I'm really alive now, and it's hard to say whether I'm doing well or not! Xiao Yu suddenly wondered why Dean Xiao would deliberately propose that he should pay attention to his physical problems.

"Jingle bell" A short ringtone interrupted Xiao Yu's thoughts, and he got up and picked up the mobile phone on the table, "Huh? Is it Lingyun? ”

Ling Yun is a person from Xiao Yu's orphanage in the same class, there are indeed not many orphans in their class who are able-bodied but no one has adopted them, Ling Yun is one of them, and he is also one of Xiao Yu's best friends.

"Hey!? Xiao Yu, what are you busy with? On the other end of the phone, Ling Yun's voice said slightly witty.

"Oh. Ling Yun, you didn't do anything, are you going to start it? Xiao Yu collected his thoughts and asked.

"Speed, I'll wait for you online, hang up first."

"Good! Come now! ”

"Dut...... Honk...... ...... beep "There was a hang-up sound on the other end of the phone. Xiao Yu turned on the computer and quickly immersed himself in the virtual game world.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yu, who was immersed in the game, suddenly felt an itch in his throat, "Ahem! Ahem......" he habitually coughed a few times, "huh? What's going on? His throat was suddenly choked by something, he coughed lightly, and then spit out the trash can beside him, and suddenly the things that gushed out gradually increased, and there seemed to be an unstoppable momentum, Xiao Yu gasped lightly, feeling a little difficult to breathe, and his mouth was filled with a fishy sweet taste, so he licked his fingers with his tongue in confusion, and the scarlet blood stained his fingers red, Xiao Yu, who realized that something was wrong, said to Lingyun on the side of the earphone hurriedly: "Ling Zhi, I vomited blood again, I have been vomiting blood at this time these days, It's okay to vomit after ......"

"Huh? Hurry up and get off the plane, I'll accompany you to the hospital to take a look......" Ling Yun's anxious voice came from the earphone.

Two hours later, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, in the hall of the emergency department of the Provincial People's Hospital, since Xiao Yu vomited blood at home, there was no discomfort, and he was chatting with Ling Yun about something, several patients who sought emergency medicine were anxiously waiting for the test results in the examination room, a young nurse wearing a light blue nurse uniform and a mask came out of an examination room unhurriedly, holding a CT scan and a list of what seemed to be test reports, and asked the patients sitting in the waiting area of the hall, "Who are you Xiao Yu?" Xiao Yu immediately got up to greet him, and the nurse handed the information in her hand to Xiao Yu, who was smiling but couldn't hide her sadness between the corners of her eyebrows, "This is your test result, take it first, and then hand it over to the doctor!" See that sign," the nurse pointed to a signage at the end of the hallway, "Woo! Go to that office for a while. With that, he turned around and walked towards the loop.

"What were the results?" Ling Yun got up and walked towards Xiao Yu, who was pondering with the inspection report, and asked.

"I didn't understand it for a while, so let's go, the nurse told us to go to the doctor's office and ask the doctor." Xiao Yu put away the report in his hand, said to Ling Yun beside him, and walked to the doctor's office with Ling Yun.

In the doctor's office, a young doctor in a white coat and a mask was talking to an emergency patient and his companion, and just as he finished speaking, the patient and his companion took the doctor's order and walked out of the office, and Xiao Yu happened to walk in with Ling Yun with the examination report.

"Hello doctor, here is my examination report." Xiao Yu hurriedly handed the report in his hand to the doctor sitting at the desk.

"Oh, okay, please take a seat!" The doctor pointed to a chair next to the table, put away Xiao Yu's report, and said, "I'll take a look first!" ”

At half past eight in the morning of the third day, in the alleys of Taiping Street, Xiao Yu's house.

It's been two days since I left the hospital to see a doctor, I went to the CDC to get medicine yesterday, and after returning home, Xiao Yu didn't go out to work as usual, just lay lazily on the bed, looking at the ceiling above his head with wooden eyes, "Tuberculosis?" It's good if it's not contagious. Still hospitalized for observation? Hey! Xiao Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't even have a stable job now, can I still be hospitalized?" Fortunately, there is a free medication to use. If you don't want to, you have to continue to work, otherwise you won't be able to pay the rent next month. Thinking of this, Xiao Yu immediately sat up, stretched, got dressed and washed, took the free medicine issued by the CDC, and went out of the house with the mobile phone key wallet.

At noon, at a construction site, Xiao Yu was leaning on an old shelf and eating a boxed lunch distributed by the construction site.

Jingle Bell ......

"Hey, Xiao Yu, what are you doing?" Ling Yun's question came from the other end of the phone.

"I've been at work for a day. If you don't work, you won't be able to pay the rent next month. Xiao Yu replied helplessly.

"I said brother, you still do that rough work, the doctor said you can't do heavy work, and suggested that you rest for a few days. Besides, can you move your small body? I'll help you pay for the rent difference, anyway, it's a part-time job, you give yourself ......a few days first," Ling Zhi said with concern.

"Hey, that kid over there, what are you rubbing, come and work!" A rough urging sound came from not far from the construction site, covering up Ling Yun's words behind him.

"Hmm...... I know it myself, you also pay attention to rest, okay, don't talk about it, there is work at hand, hang up! Xiao Yu hung up the phone in a hurry......
