Chapter 40: Commitment
"I don't understand, I really don't understand...... Can't you tell you what happened? He Chen said, "Last time he was on a business trip, he brought us all gifts, and he was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so he asked me specifically." Do you remember? The gift is for you. You were playing the piano in your room that night, and he waited outside for more than ten minutes, and I asked him why he didn't go in, and he said it would disturb you. Do you know? Mom was on a nine-hour flight, and it wasn't jet lag, but you never opened the door. β
He Yi only felt a feeling of suffocation covering his mouth and nose with a moist sponge, which made it difficult for him to breathe, and said in a dry voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't know he was ...... outside."
He Chen interrupted him again and said, "I feel very uncomfortable when I think that he is always cautious in front of you...... Your violin is still taught by him...... I will think of you every time I have something, including asking Siyuan to help you...... How can you do this to him? β
He Chen has always said anything on his face, and He Yi doesn't know how long he has been holding back these words in his heart.
He can say this kind of thing, because he already feels that the contradiction between him and Xu Linfeng is irreconcilable, right?
In his opinion, Xu Linfeng has paid a lot for them, and in fact, it is. He knew that Xu Linfeng couldn't be blamed for that incident, and it wasn't a mistake.
It was just an absurd coincidence, so coincidental that he couldn't believe that Xu Linfeng didn't know about it before.
And really calculated, the responsibility should also be on himself and Joseph, and it has nothing to do with Xu Linfeng.
He Chen thought that he didn't love Xu Linfeng anymore, how could it be?
More than 20 years of family affection cannot be parted, and nothing can cut the blood bond between them.
He never blamed Xu Linfeng, he just couldn't face it calmly.
There is so much helplessness in life.
It weighed on his heart, and nightmares haunted him like a poisonous snake.
"He Chen, the queen mother and I are not what you think." After a while, He Yi's Adam's apple squirmed up and down before he said with difficulty, "I have no less affection for him than you, I know...... I really didn't do well enough, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I promise you, I'll change it. β
"What's the use of you promising me? He Yi, did you listen to what I just said! He Chen was enraged by his perfunctory attitude, and stood up suddenly, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, "Don't tell me this, I just want to know what happened?" Can't you just be a little more simply? β
The promenade of the hospital was very quiet, and the doctors and nurses noticed the heated argument between the two brothers and looked sideways. But because their identities are too special, no one dares to step forward to dissuade them, and they are silent one by one.
After He Chen sent a fire, he also realized that it was not appropriate to be in the hospital now, so he crossed his waist irritably, and exhaled a few heavy breaths to calm his feelings.
The two were at a stalemate, He Yi closed his eyes, and said after a long time: "It's not that I don't want to sue you, it's that this matter can't be said yet, I really can't say it." β
It's not that you don't want to say it, but you can't say it.
He Chen stroked his almost shaved head, carefully recalled He Yi's repeated emphasis, and finally reacted: "What do you mean ......?"
He Yi nodded, not denying it.
The brothers were silent for a while, and He Chen said dejectedly: "Okay, I know." β
After listening to Shen Siyuan's words, Xu Linfeng's whole body was trembling, although he expected the direction of history, but when he was confirmed by Shen Siyuan, it still made him unbelievable.
Will those things really come to pass?
TΓΊrin was defeated, He Yi died of illness, and then the great unification of the world established a new era.
What scared him even more was that He Yuanzheng's name did not appear in the history books.
This can only mean that he died before He Yi.
So why did He Yuanzheng have an accident?
With him here, how could he let He Yuanzheng have an accident?
Xu Linfeng couldn't figure it out, except for this disease, he couldn't think of any other reason to convince himself.
So does the fate of He Yuanzheng really have to follow the original historical trajectory?
Xu Linfeng couldn't accept this fact, if this was true, this would be the last time he would accompany He Yuanzheng on his expedition.
The invincible Emperor Thurin is leaving him?
He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
Xu Linfeng walked back like he lost his soul, and met the reckless He Chen halfway, the two almost collided, Xu Linfeng helped He Chen, so he didn't let him wrestle.
"Ouch, Mommy......"
Xu Linfeng restrained his feelings and pulled him up: "What's wrong?" Reckless. β
"Mom, is Siyuan gone? I have something to tell him. He Chen poked his head out and looked in the direction of the stairs.
"He just went down, you should be able to catch up now."
"Okay, thank you Mom! I'll go down first! β
He Chenfeng ran down like a wind, and Xu Linfeng couldn't help but remind: "Don't run, beware of falling, you can just turn over the handrail and go down." β
"Okay!" He Chen was empowered, immediately stopped, supported the handrails with both hands, and flexibly jumped a few times like a monkey, and there was no shadow in the blink of an eye.
Xu Linfeng: "......"
As soon as Shen Siyuan walked to the first floor, he was startled by He Chen, who fell from the sky.
I only heard a few sounds of "knock, knock, knock", and a big living person appeared in front of him, leaning against the wall with one hand, panting and stretching out, and said intermittently: "Wait...... Wait a minute...... I...... I...... I've got something to look for you. β
Shen Siyuan: "......"
Is this acrobatics in the hospital? So he thought the little idiot had changed something...... It's all an illusion!
He Chen quickly regained his strength, wiped the fine sweat from his head, straightened up, and said to Shen Siyuan, "I want to talk to you." β
Since his confession was rejected by Shen Siyuan, the two have never been in contact, so Shen Siyuan has no way of knowing He Chen's recent situation, and he is particularly surprised to see him wearing a military shirt.
And the position of the two of them was the same level, Shen Siyuan was surprised to find that the slight height gap between the two before seemed to have been equaled by He Chen's sudden height.
He remembered that He Chen had complained to him before that his calves and ankles always hurt, and now it seemed that it was definitely caused by his height.
"I started school last week, I went to school at the Thurin Military Academy, and I came back from leave today, my dad ......," He Chen paused, and then said, "The freshmen will have a year-long training camp life, so we may not be able to meet until next year." β
That's why He Chen rushed to see him? Shen Siyuan said.
"I thought about what you told me last time, and finally decided to find a chance to talk to you. Although there were some things that I didn't agree with, I decided to change. He Chen said seriously, "I know you can't accept me, and the partner you want to find should be able to go hand in hand with you, but I obviously can't do it now...... However, I will definitely become better than I am now, and I will grow into what you like in this year's time. β
Shen Siyuan was stunned by his solemn confession, and stammered: "You, you ......"
"Believe me, Siyuan, at that time, I will stand behind you like a real man, protect you, take care of you......"
"What are you talking about......" Rao was as calm as Shen Siyuan, and he was also blushed by his words, and he was so embarrassed that he was at a loss.
However, He Chen then said: "Because I am a big hero who wants to save the world in the future." β
Shen Siyuan: "......"
Handsome for only two seconds, it's still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.
The ambiguity just now disappeared without a trace, and the corners of Shen Siyuan's mouth twitched and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back, hero." β
He Yuanzheng's symptoms of vertigo came and went quickly, and he was able to walk independently after several examinations.
On the other hand, Xu Linfeng's state was much worse than when he first entered the hospital, but when He Yuanzheng asked, Xu Linfeng blamed and said, "I'm not scared by you." β
"......" He Yuanzheng couldn't refute, gently hugged his shoulders, sat down with him half-hugged, and began to talk in a low voice.
The atmosphere between the two of them was too strange, He Chen and He Yi were not easy to pass, He Chen was still angry, glared at his brother, and sat aside.
He Yuanzheng was diagnosed with Zimmermann's disease.
This good news is also bad news.
The good news is that He Yuanzheng does not have a craniocerebral lesion, and his life is not in danger for the time being. But the bad news is that Zimmerman's disease is extremely rare.
This is an idiopathic form of membrane labyrinthine hydrops in the inner ear, and its etiology is very complex and inconclusive.
Zimmerman's disease had little warning before the outbreak, and it was difficult to detect the problem with ordinary physical examinations, plus He Yuanzheng had no family history of the disease, so that when he did an imaging of the temporal bone today, he found that his lymphatic vessels had become thinner.
What's even more problematic is that there is no cure for the disease, and once it happens, the patient can only lie still, and as the disease worsens, he may become deaf.
Although the operation can be relieved, if the operation is done, not to mention the risks, even if it is successful, it will have a certain impact on He Yuanzheng's life - removing the labyrinth and destroying the vestibule will cause balance disorders.
A leader who has lost his balance...... It's easy to do in daily life, but if it is on an important diplomatic occasion, if He Yuanzheng stands unsteadily and falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xu Linfeng rubbed his eyebrows painfully, and said weakly: "Let's treat conservatively first." β
Although the doctor repeatedly assured him that the disease was not life-threatening, he was still relieved because there were too few cases in the world to be convincing.
In addition, there is Shen Siyuan's prophecy, so he can't take this risk, he can't let He Yuanzheng have an accident.
The onset of Zimmerman's disease was too painful, and thinking of He Yuanzheng's appearance at the onset of his illness, his heart could not be settled at all, and he had to stay with him to make sure that he was safe.
The doctor said that patients with Zimmerman's disease should not overwork, and that he could help him deal with many things by staying with He Yuanzheng.
It's probably time to quit? Xu Linfeng sighed, although the investigation has reached a critical period, he must make a choice now, fortunately, the National Security Bureau still has Dai Wenguang, who can carry the work with one hand.
