32. Still holding each other
"You also know, Teacher Yue usually doesn't talk much, she was not happy about what I did a few years ago, she gave me a look, I tried to change it, and I served her more and more smoothly. It's this year that her temper suddenly grows, and sometimes she loses her temper for a little thing. Aunt Zhang said, "The old people are like this, and when they are old, their temper is not good." ”
Sheng Fengshi frowned and asked, "Does she have any other abnormalities, such as memory loss, forgetting time, and not being able to settle accounts when she buys things?" ”
"Hiss......" Aunt Zhang gasped, thought for a while and said, "She has said all this, but people are like this when they are old, isn't it abnormal?" ”
Sheng Fengshi said: "These behaviors are not necessarily due to aging, but may be due to illness. Don't worry, it's not sure yet. You watch her here first, I'll go through the formalities, and you notify me when she's awake. ”
"Hey, okay." Aunt Zhang agreed.
Sheng Feng looked at Yuan Mu: "You ......"
"Together."
"Okay."
The two of them turned around and returned to the ward, sitting on the chairs outside the door, waiting for Yue Rong to wake up. The rain is still falling, it is already dark, and the lights in the hospital are shining on the white tiles, making the corridor extraordinarily bright. Sheng Fengshi held Yuan Mu's hand and didn't speak for a long time.
Sheng Fengshi's palms were originally cold, but after holding them for a long time, they gradually became warm, she looked at Yuan Mu's face and asked, "Do you want to be with me?" ”
Yuan Mu nodded.
"I'm forty years old, halfway through my life, but yours is just getting started."
Yuan Mu said: "At least we can be together for forty years, although it may not be enough, but I want these forty years." ”
Sheng Fengshi: "In another twenty years, you will reach my age, and I will be sixty years old." ”
Yuan Mu thought seriously for a while and said, "I can make wheelchairs." ”
Sheng Fengshi was stunned: "I shouldn't need to use a wheelchair when I'm sixty years old." ”
Yuan Mu: "When I was 60 years old, I also made a wheelchair. ”
"......" Sheng Feng couldn't cry or laugh, but his heart felt inexplicably relaxed, and asked, "Do I have to be in a wheelchair?" ”
"You're old, wrinkled, sick, gone, and I love you all the same." Yuan Mu said calmly, as if recounting a fact, Sheng Fengshi looked at her pure eyes, and he couldn't even have the slightest doubt about her words. Her eyes reflected Sheng Fengshi's face, reflecting the light, which made Sheng Feng look at it for a long time and forget to speak.
Suddenly, Sheng Fengshi noticed that his eyes were hot, and he quickly blinked, only to look at Yuan Mu again, smile, and say, "You like me as a baby, and I like you as an adult." ”
"I like you as an adult." Yuan Mu said immediately, and then she slowed down her speech and said it again, "I like you and adults too." ”
"Really?"
"Yes. I want to build a common life with you, face the future days with you, and connect with fate. ”
Sheng Fengshi looked at Yuan Mu in surprise, and couldn't help but think: Although she and Yuan Mu are similar, they have many differences, and she will definitely not be able to say these words. Yuan Mu's initiative is often quiet, but he unconsciously warms her and melts her.
"I love you at the right time." Yuan Mu said.
Sheng Feng didn't know how to answer. Yuan Mu wanted more than just an answer.
The two men fell silent, their hands still clasped together, passing on many things beyond words. In the bright corridor, everything is quiet.
Finally, Yue Rong woke up, and when Aunt Zhang came out to call Sheng Feng, Yuan Mu stayed outside the door.
Sheng Fengshi walked to the end of the bed before raising his eyes to look at the old man on the bed. As soon as she woke up, her eyebrows wrinkled first, and the lines of the word "Chuan" became deeper. Yue Rong glanced at Sheng Fengshi and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Then Yue Rong asked Aunt Zhang, "Why am I here?" ”
Aunt Zhang was stunned by the question, and glanced at Sheng Fengshi before replying, "You fell down and were sent over." ”
Yue Rong's eyes were puzzled, as if she couldn't remember this, she sat up and lifted the quilt to get out of bed, and said in her mouth: "I'm fine, just go home and recuperate." ”
Sheng Fengshi said: "Your lower leg may be broken and you need to take a film. ”
"I know my body." Yue Rong said indifferently, propping up the edge of the bed and moving to the ground, Aunt Zhang hurriedly helped her. Sheng Fengshi pushed the wheelchair next to the bed over, and Yue Rong immediately stopped: "I don't sit on this!" ”
Sheng Fengshi turned a deaf ear and said to Aunt Zhang, "Help her sit up." ”
"Hey." Aunt Zhang replied.
Yue Rong broke away from Aunt Zhang's hand, stood firmly on the side of the bed, and asked coldly, "Are you my nanny or her nanny?" ”
Aunt Zhang was in a dilemma and whispered: "Professor Sheng ......"
Sheng Fengshi went over to replace her, and Aunt Zhang pushed the wheelchair like she was rescued.
Yue Rong's body was stiff, and she was helped to sit in a wheelchair by Sheng Fengshi, who put a small blanket on her lap and told Aunt Zhang to push her to take a film for examination, while she returned to Yuan Mu to sit beside her.
Yuan Mu asked, "Your face is not very good, is it cold?" I've brought a cup, can I get some hot water? ”
"No, I'm not cold." Sheng Fengshi smiled, sat beside Yuan Mu for a while, his face was better than just now, and said, "Accompany me to see the doctor." ”
There was only one chair opposite the doctor, and Yuan Mu stood behind Sheng Fengshi, his right hand resting on her right shoulder.
"I suspect she has Alzheimer's disease." When it is prosperous, he is in a calm state.
"Your mother? If you judge that she has a precursor to this disease, it is best to go to the neurology department for examination, usually the sooner the diagnosis is made, the better it is for the disease to be controlled. However, I suggest that you communicate with the patient first, and if the patient is willing to cooperate, you pay attention to the outpatient time, because many examinations cannot be done in the emergency department, okay? ”
Sheng Fengshi nodded: "Thank you, doctor." ”
Back in the row of chairs, Sheng Feng did not speak again, looking a little tired. After the film was filmed and brought to the doctor, the doctor said that considering the patient's age, poor physique, and not severe injuries, the doctor put on a plaster cast to recuperate. After the plaster cast, Yue Rong returned to the hospital bed to rest, and left with Yuan Mu when it was a good time.
At this time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the two bought a toothbrush and a towel at the convenience store in the hospital, and took a taxi back to Sheng Fengshi's house. It's too late today, and it's a rainy day, so I don't feel at ease when I let Yuan Mu go back to Shengfeng, so I left Yuan Mu to stay.
Sheng Feng took a set of pajamas, a pillow, and a quilt for Yuan Mu, and after Yuan Mu washed, he rested on the sofa.
The lights in the room were all out, the night was silent, Yuan Mu faced the direction of the bedroom door, lying on his side and waiting. I don't know how long it took, the bedroom door opened, Sheng Fengshi walked out, and asked softly, "Yuan Mu, have you slept?" ”
"Nope." Yuan Mu sat up, folded the quilt a few times, and stacked it aside.
Sheng Feng turned on the light and walked over.
A house without a TV is so quiet that it doesn't feel like a home. Sheng Fengshi and Yuan Mu sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"She," Sheng Fengshi said slowly, "before her retirement, she was a well-known high school political teacher, and she was conscientious about her work, and devoted all her time and energy to improving her teaching level. I admire her passion for her work. If it weren't for her physical exhaustion, she would have stayed at the school to teach when she reached retirement age. She used to have a very good memory, she remembered the names of every class of students she taught, and every year many students came back to visit their teachers, and she could call anyone as if they had only met yesterday. She won't accept that she has dementia. Even I had a hard time accepting it. ”
"Are you worried about how to sue her?"
"Hmm." Sheng Fengshi paused, "Actually, now that I think about it, when I saw her last year, she had already shown signs of impatience, impatience in speaking, and carelessness in doing things. But her relationship with me had always been very indifferent, and there was hardly a word that time, and I quickly left, not noticing the change in her. ”
Yuan Mu said, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow morning." ”
"Hmm." The corners of Sheng Fengshi's mouth lifted, looking at Yuan Mu, and couldn't help but look forward to the second half of his life with someone. Whether it is better to live alone or with Yuan Mu, the future has not yet come, and she has no way to compare. It's just that she is no longer worried about change, not worried about how the future will develop, since Yuan Mu is here, she just wants to go with Yuan Mu.
Sheng Feng lowered his gaze to look at Yuan Mu's lips, and then raised his eyes to look at Yuan Mu's eyes.
Yuan Mu said: "I want to." ”
Sheng Fengshi smiled and said, "Sleep." ”
Yuan Mu pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay." Good night. ”
"Good night."
Sheng Feng returned to the room and closed his eyes to draw Yuan Mu's ruddy lips. She wanted to too.
The next day, the two had a simple breakfast and went to the hospital by car. Yuan Mu remained outside, and went in alone when it was a good day.
Seeing her coming, Yue Rong frowned, and still said the same sentence: "Why are you here?" ”
Aunt Zhang gave up her chair, waved her hand to signal that she didn't need it, stood at the end of the bed and said, "You ......"
She looked at Yue Rong's thin shoulders, and suddenly didn't know how to speak. In her impression, Yue Rong was extremely proud, strong, and competing for the first place in everything. Although Yue Rong's health has deteriorated since she left her job, Sheng Fengshi never imagined that Yue Rong would fall.
Sheng Fengshi calmed down and said, "You need to do a neurology examination." ”
"What did you say?" Yue Rong's brows furrowed even tighter.
"I suspect you have Alzheimer's disease."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yue Rong glared at her and said, "How my own body is, I know it myself, I don't need you to 'doubt'!" ”
Sheng Fengshi thought, Yue Rong's spirit is really wrong, there has never been a loud scolding like this before, Yue Rong saw her, mostly as if she didn't see it, and cherished the words. However, Yue Rong didn't cooperate, and she had no way to force Yue Rong to go for an examination. Sheng Feng felt powerless, they had barely communicated over the years, she didn't even know Yue Rong, even if she wanted to persuade her, she had nowhere to start. What's more, in what capacity does she persuade? Daughter? Sheng Feng had a kind of resistance to this word in his heart.
Yue Rong seemed to think she was an eyesore, so she turned her head and said, "You go, just take care of yourself." ”
Sheng Feng gave Aunt Zhang a look, and Aunt Zhang smiled at Yue Rong: "I'll send it." Yue Rong didn't react, as if she hadn't heard.
Aunt Zhang sent Sheng Fengshi to the door of the ward, and Sheng Fengshi said: "She has been hospitalized these days, please take care of her in the hospital." When she is discharged from the hospital, I will make it up to you every day. ”
Aunt Zhang hurriedly shook her hand and said, "How can it be done?" This time I wasn't optimistic. Besides, how can there be an old man who doesn't get sick? I was supposed to serve her, so I should be with her in the hospital. Professor Sheng, you have been giving me an extra salary in the past few years, and I will take your money now, so who will I become? Your mother and daughter are good to me, I can't be without a conscience. ”
Suddenly hearing the word "mother and daughter", Sheng Feng had the illusion of a tingling eardrum, she shook her head, nodded and said, "I'm leaving." ”
"Hey, goodbye."
Yuan Mu stood beside Sheng Fengshi when they came out, and when he heard this, he nodded to Aunt Zhang and left with Sheng Fengshi.
Walking out of the hospital, Sheng Feng looked at the sky, and it was really cloudy today.
