Chapter 41: More than twenty years of virtual life

In order to prevent my parents from being woken up, I motioned for her to go outside with me, and she readily agreed, so sometimes women's emotions are really complicated, on the one hand, they are high, and on the other hand, they are quite practical.

Even though I played the guitar a few times in front of Li Shi, this time it was more like my special session, and I was very cautious. After trying the audition, I played and sang the cheerful "Good Morning" of the café au lait group provocatively, and deliberately showed off my skills in front of her.

After singing a short paragraph by himself, Li Shi reached out to me for a guitar, I took a step back, did not return it, and said: "Do you want to worship me as a teacher, I can suffer a little loss, and reluctantly accept your stupid apprentice." ”

Li Shi stared at me with an extremely ugly expression, but I was very proud, and finally took the opportunity to completely damage her once.

At this time, Li Shi glanced at me dissatisfiedly and said, "To be honest, your musical literacy is quite good, aside from others, do you think I will worship you as a teacher?" ”

A similar trick Li Shi used to use on me, and I didn't give her a good face last time, but this time I looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't dare to speak." ”

Li Shi pursed her lips, then smiled, and didn't say anything more, and I smiled, I didn't care, anyway, I was used to her attitude of ignoring me, although in this case, we were still like ordinary friends.

After being silent for a while, Li Shi asked in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Do you still sing?" ”

Her expression was a little helpless, maybe helpless to my boundlessness, of course I didn't know her bottom line, my parents were in the hostel, and I didn't dare to play too much, after handing over the guitar to her, when I went back to the yard, I hummed the song "Good Morning", a villain sang: "Sing loudly together, let the song fill the city, every corner, I see everyone is working hard to live, I see that the city has a different color, I see many, many smiling faces, and the world becomes a better place......"

……

After buying the breakfast back, Li Shi was reading a book, I put her share on the table, she looked at me but didn't answer, just picked up the teacup in front of me and took a sip of water, and when I turned around, I said, "Thank you!" ”

I smiled as if I was resigned to my fate, tossing and tossing, I always felt that she was still saved, after all, it will be a relationship between superiors and subordinates in the future, and it definitely doesn't hurt to get along better, and aside from the leadership level, even if it is an ordinary female tourist, I will bring her a breakfast.

After a while, my parents got up with Meng Meng to wash, and Meng Meng's complexion was not bad, which also made me feel a little more at ease.

Li Shi, who was eating breakfast, was very leisurely, and after greeting her parents, she was reading a book, drinking porridge, sometimes combing her scattered hair, and sometimes reading the text silently, the sun seemed to be happy to add color to her, and a beam of light passed through the flower stand and fell on her side face impartially, this picture is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe in words......

At this time, my mother once again called my father sadly, Li Shi and I also began to get nervous, and hurriedly ran to the bathroom, it was Meng Meng gums and nasal bleeding, Meng Meng was suffering from M3 type (promyelocytic leukemia with acute granule increase), due to the complex classification and prognosis stratification of leukemia, there is no cookie-cutter treatment, and it is necessary to combine meticulous typing and prognosis stratification to formulate a treatment plan. Thankfully, the times are advancing, and with reasonable and comprehensive treatment, the prognosis of leukemia has been greatly improved, and a considerable number of patients can be cured or stable for a long time.

The era of leukemia as an "incurable disease" has passed, and I have confidence in Mengmeng, but the reality is still cruel because we have not yet found a suitable transplant of stem cells.

Dad frowned, quickly dialed the attending physician, carried out emergency treatment, and then motioned to Mom to hurry up and pack her things and prepare to return to the hospital.

In the nervousness, Li Shi suddenly clenched my hand, and said with nervousness: "What can I do?" ”

I looked at Li Shi, this short sentence shocked me, I wanted to comfort her, but my palms couldn't control the dense fine sweat, wet her hands, at this moment we didn't realize to hold each other's hands.

Dad quickly hugged Mengmeng to the car, and then instructed: "Yu Hang, let's go to the hospital first, you work hard, don't be anxious, this is not the first time." ”

I don't know how to tell my parents at this moment that there is nothing for me to do here, and I can't say it, and I don't want them to add to this problem......

Li Shi let go of my hand, quickly opened the car door, and said to Mengmeng, who had heavy eyelids: "Mengmeng, my sister will go to the hospital with you to accompany you, you have to come on." ”

But unexpectedly, Mengmeng, who was still reluctant to speak, finally opened her mouth and said weakly: "Sister, I don't want you to see that I'm not pretty, and I don't want you to worry about my brother, when I was with my brother yesterday, I could see that he was unhappy, I hope you can help my brother and talk to him more......"

I was silent for a while, and the bitterness in my heart was even heavier, so don't look away......

Li Shi nodded and comforted: "Mengmeng, you have to remember that in every shadow not far away, there must be a piece of sunshine. If you were bright, the world would not be dark, and if you had hope, the world would not be utterly hopeless. If you never give in, what can the world do to you? ”

"I've memorized all this, sister, it may take a long time for me to go for treatment this time, and when I come back next time, you are still here waiting for me, okay?"

Li Shi looked at me with a complicated face, I couldn't tell what kind of emotions were under her expression at the moment, but the twitching at the corners of her mouth was really real, and she wanted to speak several times, but she still didn't say her promise after all.

There wasn't much time left for us to say goodbye, I didn't dare to talk more, I was afraid of saying too much wrong, and I was even more afraid of exposing my emotions, so I just kept saying "Come on!" to Mengmeng! "See you next time!

In the parting, my tears once again blurred uncontrollably, and I was afraid of such a parting, because every time, it was a matter of life and death......

It wasn't until the car disappeared from our sight that Li Shi turned around, looked at me beside her, didn't say anything, and returned to the courtyard gloomily and sat down in a corner.

At this moment, I don't know what it's like in my heart, I just feel sorry for Mengmeng, I accidentally let her see through her heart yesterday, and she has been living for more than 20 years......

……

The breakfast on the table was still untouched, and it was sad to think that we had not been able to sit around for breakfast after all.

In life, we are often forced to leave our homeland because we earn money to provide for our families, and those short, long-term separations are not refined into poems by the poet's beautification, on the contrary, they are full of helplessness and tears...... Reuniting in anticipation, parting again after a short reunion, maybe our journey is not as magnificent as the sea of stars, and some are just thoughts of making the family live a little better...... Parting teaches people to be strong, but who wants to learn this kind of thing?

"Li Shi, the answer that didn't answer Meng Meng just now, can you change it?"

"You don't think I've done enough, do you?"

I turned my head, but her eyes that didn't stop without getting an answer made me feel depressed, and then I took out the cigarette case from the room, lit a cigarette for myself, and after smoking half of it, I put the cigarette out in the ashtray, and then said to her: "I don't want you to sympathize, but you have also seen the ...... of Mengmeng's situation."

"If I'm indifferent, shouldn't you call me cold-blooded again?"

I sighed and lit a cigarette in my irritability, but suddenly became clumsy, and didn't know how to explain it.

Li Shi turned and walked to her room, but did not close the door, and then I heard her sobbing in the open door.

I suddenly felt tired, and I didn't even have the strength to stop it, but I stared blankly at the shadow cast by the light, and then I seemed to spend the four seasons in a panic...... I tilted my head to prevent the warmth from the corners of my eyes from turning into tears, but my heart once again felt a overwhelming sense of powerlessness......

……

In my powerlessness, I sat alone in the yard until noon, lamenting that the most unplanned thing in the world is life, we can indeed look forward to a beautiful future, but real life is always blackened, so that we are lost in the mud flow of pain.

"Yu Hang, I want to talk to you about something......"

I interrupted Li Shi and asked, "If you persuade me to stop going against you, you don't have to speak." ”

Li Shi almost didn't think about it, so she said: "I still can't rest assured, I want to drive to the hospital to see Mengmeng......"

I shook my head resolutely and said, "The reason why Mengmeng doesn't want you to see the picture of her full of instruments is that I want you to be happy, I don't want you to live up to her kindness." ”

Li Shi bowed her head and was silent for a long time, and then spoke again: "I heard that there is a "Yijian" coffee shop here, do you want to go over and sit down?" ”

I originally wanted to refuse, but when I thought of the sketch that I "stole" from me, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and nodded: "I'll drive you there!" By the way, there is something for you. ”

……

After a silent journey, the car passed through the alley and finally stopped in front of an old square......

Li Shi, who was a newcomer, carefully looked at this very characteristic coffee shop, and I gentlemanly pushed the door open for her. At this point, there are still very few customers in the store, Song Niange stood in front of the cabinet as always sorting out the information, she has been managing every customer's letter very carefully for several years, waiting for them to pick it up, if someone can't pick up the letter on time because of busyness or other reasons, she will send the letter that has been written with the address......

After seeing us coming, she put aside the work in her hand for a while, looked at us without a trace of impurity in her eyes, walked up to me and asked, "Brother Hang, this girl is a tourist staying in your store?" ”

"He's the new manager of the hostel, and I've been fired."

Song Niange paused for a moment, smiled indifferently, and said: "How is it possible, it's not that I haven't been in contact with your boss, you are his confidant, he will not be willing to leave you, since you are transferred from the dismal youth hostel, there must be better things for you to complete." ”

After Song Niange finished speaking, Li Shi, who was originally very relaxed, suddenly frowned, and stared at me with an inexplicable look......
