Chapter Ninety-Five: Smell of Death
When Xu Kaijie's plate of steak was almost finished, the waiter brought two more plates of seafood pasta.
Lin Yuanchen ate a little bite, and only then did he eat half full, and his mood was much better.
"Xu Kaijie, where did you come from? Is it from a certain continent, there are a lot of demonic beasts on it, and there are also demon sects? ”
Xu Kaijie's hand that was about to be turned on paused: "Who did you listen to this?" ”
"I listen...... I listened to Feng Ruohong, one of my classmates. ”
"Feng Ruohong ......" is not Feng Yuluan, and the name is not new. Xu Kaijie took out a fork of noodles and stuffed them into his mouth: "Yes, I'm from there." ”
"That'...... When will you take me to see it? ”
"In the future, I will take you to see it in the future, do you want to get married in my hometown?"
Lin Yuanchen almost jumped up when he heard the last two words: "Marriage? Who said they were going to get married? ”
Xu Kaijie rolled his eyelids, as if he didn't hear it: "Then you don't have any classes next, what are you going to do?" Do you want to hang out with me? ”
Lin Yuanchen shook his head: "I want to go home tomorrow, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, I don't know how she is now, she hasn't answered my phone for a long time, besides, I will go abroad soon, and I won't be able to see her for a long time when the time comes, so of course I'll be with her next." ”
Xu Kaijie was just silent and didn't say anything.
"Xu Kaijie, do you have something to hide from me?"
"Nope."
Lin Yuanchen leaned over and took a closer look at Xu Kaijie, as if he smelled a smell of lies.
"Xu Kaijie, you actually lied to me!"
Xu Kaijie's heart trembled, but he still forced his composure: "Where did I lie, I'm just a little bit overwhelmed, unlike you, you have a good appetite." ”
The two ate a few more dishes and walked home slowly.
Along the way, Xu Kaijie was silent, with his head down and his steps.
"Xu Kaijie, why are you so quiet? Are you too tired to win the championship? ”
"Lin Yuanchen, I have something to tell you...... Merely...... You are not allowed to cry. ”
didn't hear what he said, Lin Yuanchen was already nervous in her heart, there was too much bad news recently, she didn't know what the next one would be.
"Xu Kaijie, don't swallow, hurry up, my heart is beating fast."
"Your mom she, cough!" Xu Kaijie calmed down, "Your mother had pancreatic cancer a year ago, and she ...... not long ago He passed away not long ago. ”
Lin Yuanchen didn't think about it carefully at first, and stood there blankly: "Xu Kaijie, I didn't hear what you said clearly." ”
"Your mother, she ......"
"Say no more!"
Lin Yuanchen walked ahead of himself, leaving Xu Kaijie far behind, and Xu Kaijie accelerated his pace to catch up.
When he caught up, he saw that Lin Yuanchen was already full of tears: "Xu Kaijie, you are lying again!" ”
"It's true...... When I was sick, I hid it from you, I should have told you earlier. ”
"What about my mother? Dead, there are ashes, where did you bury her? ”
"Mom, she donated her body to the country for teaching and research, and there is no ...... ashes"
"Not even ashes, you're not a liar!" Lin Yuanchen raised his leg and kicked Xu Kaijie's calf violently, Xu Kaijie did not dodge, but stepped forward and hugged Lin Yuanchen to his chest.
"Don't cry, didn't you say you won't cry?"
Lin Yuanchen cried out in Xu Kaijie's arms, thinking that the tears had dried up these days, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he was still in tears.
This night, she was in tears until dawn.
After dawn, although the tears stopped, the whole person was like a daydream, not eating, drinking, or talking, sitting alone on the bed in a daze.
Xu Kaijie talked a lot with her and brought a lot of food, but she was not impressed.
She stared blankly and blankly ahead with her eyes open.
Xu Kaijie fed her water and eat, and she would move her mouth and swallow it, but her expression was not at all reactant or moved.
Two days later, Xu Kaijie had no choice but to take Lin Yuanchen, who was unresponsive, to a "sanatorium for the mentally ill" to check in.
"This patient has a stress disorder, and hospitalization can be fine, but the speed of the good depends on the individual's situation." In the doctor's office, Xu Kaijie heard this statement, "Our hospital charges much higher than public hospitals, but the environment is better and more relaxed, and there are not so many restrictions, so you can let her live here with peace of mind." If you want to stay with her, our hospital also allows family members to accompany her. ”
Xu Kaijie nodded: "Okay, then I'll stay with her." ”
Xu Kaijie led Lin Yuanchen into a two-person room, which was fully equipped and indeed incomparable to public psychiatric hospitals.
At noon, a little nurse brought medicine.
Xu Kaijie fed Lin Yuanchen medicine again, hugged her and coaxed her to sleep.
Before dinner, it was another medicine, and after taking the medicine, Xu Kaijie took Lin Yuanchen to the lounge and fed her dinner.
Many patients surrounded him: "Handsome guy, you are so handsome, and the little girl is so beautiful." How did you get here? What a shame. ”
"Are you brother and sister or husband and wife? It looks like the little girl is sick, and she's so blessed that you're here with her......"
Talking like this, these people don't look very different from normal people, but they still feel awkward in their differences, Xu Kaijie sees different demons in their souls.
When she lived for a month, Lin Yuanchen's condition improved, she could take medicine and eat by herself, and sometimes she would have a simple chat with Xu Kaijie. But most of the time it's still in a daze.
Later, Lin Yuanchen liked to go to the garden from dawn, and sat until dark, she watched the sunrise in the east and the sunset in the west, and even took medicine and ate here.
Every time Xu Kaijie asked her what she was looking at here, she just said "um" and didn't answer carefully.
Over time, it becomes a habit.
One day in the second month, when Lin Yuanchen still saw the sunset here, he took the initiative to say to Xu Kaijie: "Xu Kaijie, is this the line between heaven and earth?" Is it faith that loneliness, hesitation, and a trajectory that never changes? It's a belief, and it's too lonely......"
This is the first time Xu Kaijie has heard her call her name in the past two months, and it is also the first time to hear her say so many words, and he is excited in his heart: "Lin Yuanchen, do you recognize me?" ”
Lin Yuanchen turned his head, smiled faintly at him, and nodded.
Xu Kaijie couldn't hide the excitement in his heart for a while, hugged Lin Yuanchen hard, and kissed her on both cheeks: "Great! The doctor was right, hospitalization is really good, it's great......" (To be continued.) )
