Chapter 57: The Starry Sky Doesn't Flash When It's Close (3)
The days became shorter as we got closer to autumn, but the weather was unexpectedly pleasant today, until the afternoon, when the sun was slowly setting, and the golden yellow covered the city, and it looked like a warm patch.
The little man on the hospital bed frowned slightly, and the small movements were captured by Han Rui at a glance, and he called out in distress, and when he called out the name that had not been mentioned for a long time, his voice couldn't help but tremble, and the familiar and unfamiliar feeling hit his heart one by one.
"Cheng Chuxia, wake up and look at me."
The girl seemed to hear the voice that wanted to seek, with him, she could always rely on it with confidence, at that moment it seemed that all the fragility had found support and an outlet, the pain after anesthesia could no longer bear it, the bloodless lip flap moved, and spit out a few slurred words.
Sheng Tang stood far away and couldn't hear clearly, but Han Rui could hear clearly.
She said, "Han Rui, it hurts—"
Han Rui smiled like a child for the first time, and two tears fell disobediently.
He stroked her head in distress, and his other hand held her hand tightly, comforting softly.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Cheng Chuxia opened his eyes and saw him who had disappeared for nearly four months, that face was familiar and very unfamiliar, if it weren't for the faint pain of the wound reminding her that this was not a dream, such a reunion was too unreal.
She closed her eyes, and her consciousness began to gradually recover and awaken, and many emotions in her heart were intertwined, blaming, complaining, excited, lost, and missing......
It's like all the emotions that have been hidden have found an outlet, and all of them are coming out at once.
Their encounter in the game and their interaction in reality were quickly replayed in her mind.
It's all about him, bit by bit, and he even forgot that he was the one who walked back from the ghost gate.
Sheng Tang saw that their atmosphere was a little tense, and took the initiative to break the silence, "Early summer, how do you feel?" ”
Cheng Chuxia turned his head slightly and saw the person leaning against the window, "The wound hurts." ”
"I'm going to ask the doctor what's going on." After speaking, he gave Han Rui a look and went out.
There were only two of them left in the ward, strangely quiet.
"Zhao Yihao said that you haven't eaten anything since the morning, are you hungry?"
……
"I asked him to buy you porridge, lighter to heal the wound."
……
"The doctor said that the wound was not deep, but it hurt the blood vessels, which is why there was so much blood."
……
"But you don't have to worry, as long as you take good care, the wound won't leave a scar."
……
"Zhao Yihao and Yu Siyao just left, they went to buy food, and they were also accompanying you when you had the operation."
……
"Sheng Tang too."
……
He kept saying that Cheng Chuxia didn't respond to him, he just talked to himself, and he might not hear him say so much in a day.
Han Rui didn't like to talk too much, whether it was to himself or the people around him, he liked to be quiet, and Cheng Chuxia knew it.
He said, and she listened quietly, not wanting to respond or interrupt him.
At a certain moment, Cheng Chuxia even asked herself if her "liking" for him had been smoothed out by time when they met again.
Han Rui was still talking, as if he was deliberately helping her drive away the quiet.
When Cheng Chuxia thought he was going to continue, he suddenly stopped and called her name.
"Cheng Chuxia."
Just like before, he always called her by her full name, unlike everyone else who liked to call her Xia Xia or Hatsu Xia.
Cheng Chuxia complained to her, saying that it was too rusty to call her name directly, but he said that no matter what others called him, he only needed one Cheng Chuxia.
He always called her that, but in different moods, with the same three words, she could also detect the slight difference in his words.
For example, when she was making trouble, he would call her, "Cheng Chuxia!" "It's a little annoying but helpless.
For another example, before the mock test, when he supervised her to write questions and wait, "Cheng Chuxia." "It's calm and threatening.
……
Like now, she heard a kind of fear and reluctance.
Seeing that she didn't react, Han Rui called that name again.
"Cheng Chuxia, do you know how scared I was when I heard that the person in the car was you......"
Cheng Chuxia looked at his red eyes, she didn't know when he cried for her, and she didn't know what kind of torment he endured during the time she was unconscious, but she knew that even if she blamed him thousands of times in her heart and was unforgivable, when he returned to her side and called her name again, she just wanted to grab him and hold him tight, and everything seemed to become less important.
She looked at him and spoke slowly, still a little weak in her tone, "...... Why come back? ”
Han Rui didn't hide it and told her the truth.
"I knew you were in Beijing today, so I bought the earliest ticket."
"Why ......"
Before she could ask, Han Rui interrupted her and helped her finish the rest of the sentence, "Why didn't I look for you?" Why didn't it tell you, right? ”
Cheng Chuxia didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, but his eyes never took his eyes off him.
"I don't know what kind of way to face you, between us, I chose to give up first......"
……
"Even if autism is cured, there is a possibility of recurrence, and it cannot be ruled out that each recurrence is more serious than before. You don't need to accompany me to face these uncertainties, your life has already been shattered because of Xiao Qing's intervention. ”
This is the reason why he never dared to appear in front of her, not only because of Xiao Qing, but also because she should not be a joint victim of his tragic life, she deserves to stand taller and have a more brilliant future and lover.
When I was a child, I read Romain Rolland and learned that there is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life. At that time, I only felt inspiring, but when I actually experienced it, it became so profound.
Not everyone has the courage to face the unknown, timidity is the norm, and heroes are worthy of respect because we are all ordinary people.
It's the same with love.
It takes courage to go both ways.
Love requires courage, Liang Jingru sang in the song.
It's not that Han Rui doesn't love her anymore, but he doesn't dare.
Cheng Chuxia learned his tone and called him by name.
"Han Rui."
"I know what you're worried about, I've always known it, just like you know what I think, no matter what the future holds, at least we have the courage to face it together, instead of pushing me away every time you encounter difficulties, this is not protection, Han Rui, not every time I will stand in place and wait for you, love should go both ways, we shouldn't be so sorry."
Han Rui looked at her, and his heart was suddenly touched by something, and the frequency of beating became vivid.
He didn't refuse any more, nodded lightly, and smiled lovingly at her, "Hmm." ”
Cheng Chuxia looked at his actions and felt a little confused, "What do you mean?" ”
He took her hand, kissed the back of her hand, and smiled like a child who tasted candy, "We won't regret it." ”
"You...... You're not leaving? ”
Han Rui thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe I'll go to Seattle next month." ”
He deliberately paused for a while, looking at her misunderstood, he felt a little cute, some wanted to laugh but held back, and hurriedly added: "There are some handover work to be arranged, and I have to come back in a hurry this time, and I haven't had time to deal with it." ”
Cheng Chuxia looked at his smiling face, and pretended to be angry and said, "The answer is not what you asked." ”
In the past, he only felt that those long expositions were unnecessary and unnecessary, and he may have really experienced loss, and he understood that sentence, there are no big things in this world, except for life and death, they are all small things.
He rubbed her head, just like before, and said with a smile, "Not leaving." I'll be where you are. ”
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of spring are nothing more than that......
"It's back, it's back!" Zhao Yihao, Si Yao and Sheng Tang, who had just gone out, pushed open the door together, and everyone was full of smiles.
Zhao Yihao had an expression of "I know everything", and teased with a smile, "It's finally over, and the three of us hid outside the door and eavesdropped on it, and we all felt that the plot was developing too slowly...... Brother Rui, you don't look like your style anymore......"
Han Rui glanced at Cheng Chuxia with a smile, although her face was still pale, she was still the same as before when she laughed, giving people a warm feeling.
Han Rui was in a good mood and let him make trouble.
"Yes, it's not as fast as you......"
"No, no, no, you are a dark Chen Cang type, we are not the same!"
…… His habit of using words indiscriminately really makes people wonder if his 140-point Chinese score is cheating.
Han Rui took the tissue box on the table and threw it at him, Cheng Chuxia laughed out loud, and pulled at the wound again, "Hiss-" His expression became a little distorted and strange.
Hearing her voice, Han Rui's mood suddenly became tense again, "What's wrong?" ”
Cheng Chuxia replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
……
The originally silent ward was changed by the "struggle" between Zhao Yihao and Han Rui, and it seemed that this should be their best appearance......
