Chapter 123: Embracing Morning Glow
Ruikang opened his eyes and looked at her a little sluggishly, there was a sharp pain in his skull, which made him cry out loudly, and the whole person kept convulsing on the bed, which frightened Ruojun, and quickly picked up Xiao Nian'an, looked at him helplessly, desperately trying to comfort him.
His shouting attracted everyone, the door of the ward was pushed open, doctors, nurses, Cheng Jiaqi, Song Yuanyang, Ding Xiaohui, and more than a dozen people poured in around the bed, because Nian An was also crying incessantly, and the mother and son were somehow pushed out of the ward by the two nurses.
The door of the ward was closed, and Ruikang in the room was still tearing her heart, screaming in pain, screaming that she was terrified, she didn't know why he was in such pain.
She hugged Nian An tightly in fear and kissed Nian An, wanting to get some comfort from Nian An's small soft body, which was the only person she and Ruikang were connected to.
Coaxed for a long time, Nian An is finally in the mother's breast. I slowly fell asleep under the moisture of the juice, and the hospital room seemed to be quiet. Ruojun's heart has always been stuck in her throat, she doesn't know what this silence means? Is he awake? Passed out? Still is...... He's dead?
With a tight heart, he hurriedly stood up, and was about to push the door in, but the door opened, Ding Xiaohui and Song Yuanyang walked out, Ding Xiaohui saw Mei Ruojun's anxious expression, and said: "It's okay, he has woken up, maybe there is still blood in the skull that has not disappeared, and he needs to continue to take medicine, the doctor did an examination for him, and took painkiller injections to relieve the pain first." A more comprehensive examination will be scheduled tomorrow. He'll get better. ”
"Oh...... That's good......" Her two eyebrows were knotted in the center of her eyebrows.
Ding Xiaohui glanced at her deeply and was silent, Song Yuanyang looked at the situation from the side, knowing that there were many entanglements between them, so he left with knowledge and interest.
The corridor of the hospital was quiet again, and she looked up at Ding Xiaohui, who was speechless, his face was like an esoteric book, full of all kinds of complex codes, difficult to decipher.
"Do you want to stay here, or go back?" He asked her in a calm voice.
"I ......" she raised her eyelashes to look at him, turned her head to look at the white door, he shook his head, his eyebrows became tighter and tighter, he suddenly shook his hand, stopped looking at her, turned and strode towards the hospital gate.
He was gone, and she watched his back fade into the sun's rays, and her eyes were hazy.
Do you want to run to Xiaohui, or stay here and wait for Ruikang? She hesitated at the door of the ward, and before long, the door opened again, and the doctors and nurses passed by her with a bunch of illnesses and treatment options, as if they had not seen her at all.
She could only glance in through the crack in the door that had been opened, he was lying calmly on the bed, his eyes closed, and Jiaqi sat beside him, looking at him with concern, talking to him.
The door slowly closed again, and she was the only one left in the empty corridor, the snow-white walls and bright floors of the hospital stained the loneliness infinitely, and she realized that she was so lonely, so redundant.
I woke him up, the task was completed, and I could go, but the funny thing is that today was her and Xiaohui's wedding day, and Xiaohui's angry departure also seemed to predict that she was about to lose him.
Mei Ruojun looked back at the closed door step by step, she didn't have the courage to knock on the door and go in, she promised Jiaqi that as long as Ruikang was awakened, she would leave. Finally, she still carried the sleeping Xiao Nian'an on her back and quietly left the hospital with heavy steps.
Due to the change of the battle line, the Japanese bombardment of Chongqing has decreased, and the will to heal and survive of human beings is strong, and the beautiful mountain city of Chongqing slowly stands up again in grief and crying.
Mei Ruojun slowly climbed the narrow stone steps alone and returned to the cabin, for some reason, this cabin made him scared, she didn't know if Ding Xiaohui came back, if he didn't come back, she was afraid that he would never come back, if he came back, she was afraid that she didn't know how to face him.
For so many years, even if there is no love between the two of them, they have a deep relationship, they depend on each other, take care of each other, and cherish each other, who said that this kind of relationship is weaker than love?
If the relationship with Ryan is a kind of sympathy and pity, then the relationship with Xiaohui is much more complex and deep, she and Xiaohui have experienced a lot together, although it is not as unforgettable as with Ruikang, but it is also unforgettable.
She sighed and pushed the door, but the door opened with a "creak---- Ding Xiaohui opened the door for her, his eyes were red, as if he had cried, he glanced at her, and turned back to the house without saying a word.
Ruojun quietly returned to the house and untied Xiao Nian'an from his body, Xiao Nian'an cried again, Ruojun was a little irritable, she was very tired and confused, so she had to pick him up again and want to coax him to sleep, but Xiao Nian'an just screamed, Ruojun couldn't coax him.
Ding Xiaohui walked over, hugged the child from her arms, frowned, and said, "I'll come." ”
Saying that, he put the child on his bed, opened the child's diaper neatly with his hands and feet, it turned out that Nian'an had soiled the diaper, so he cried, Ruojun hurriedly picked up the wooden basin to scoop water, but was taken away by Ding Xiaohui, he didn't look at her, he ran to scoop half a basin of water, poured some hot water, tested the water temperature, took a small towel and wet it to scrub Xiao Nian'an, sprinkled some talcum powder, took a clean diaper and wrapped him, his gesture of changing diapers was more skilled than Ruojun, Ruojun could only sit uselessly and look at him silently.
He hugged Xiao Nian'an tightly in his arms and kissed, kissed, that kind of love came from the heart, he loved this child, not his own but better than his own.
"Xiaohui, are you angry?"
He ignored her, just hugged Nian'an tightly, Xiao Nian'an waved his little fist and smiled at him.
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning." He said lightly, reluctantly putting Xiao Nian'an back into the cradle.
She felt a thud in her head and looked at him in amazement.
He didn't look at her, just picked up the wooden basin and dirty diapers, and walked out, she followed him out of the house in a daze, watching him squat on the ground washing Nian'an's dirty diapers, her heart shook.
"Where are you going?"
"Does it matter?" He frowned and said without raising his head.
"Why? Because I woke up Ruikang? ”
He stopped what he was doing, sighed and said, "No. I also wish he would wake up, just...... It's just that...... I didn't expect you to really have the ability to wake him up. ”
"I didn't expect ...... either"
Ding Xiaohui looked at her sideways, stood up, shook off his hands, and stared into her eyes intently: "I can see that you really want to stay by his side." Now that he has woken up, Cheng Jiaqi also knows that you are here, you can sit down and talk about the days of monogamy. I know I'm superfluous, I'm a wall that prevents you from coming back to him. Therefore I go, and I depart, that you may be fulfilled. ”
She looked at him in a panic and kept shaking her head: "How can you have such an idea, who said you are superfluous?" Who said I was going to go back to him? What is a monogamy? Xiaohui, I know I didn't do well in the hospital, but I'm just worried about his condition, and I don't want him to die. ”
"Be honest with me, Ruojun, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want him or me?" Ding Xiaohui's eyebrows were full of sadness, and his eyes were as deep as black gems, bottomless, but there was an indescribable power.
Mei Ruojun also looked at him tightly, sorted out his emotions, met his gaze, and said sincerely: "I want you." ”
His heart shook, he didn't expect her to answer so crisply and concisely.
"Really? Are you sure? He couldn't believe it.
She stood on tiptoe, held his face, kissed him on the lips, this was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him, he was flattered, hugged her tightly into his arms, long kisses, soft kisses, deep kisses, melted the hearts of both people.
"Xiaohui, let's get married tonight, as long as you don't dislike me and Nian'an, and don't dislike my past." She grabbed him around the neck and whispered.
He frowned at her, examined her, dissected her, but she was like a mystery, confusing but deeply attracted, she had simple pursuits, but complex emotions, weak and strong, infatuated and amorous, firm and contradictory.
"I think I've been poisoned by you." He sighed, pressing her to his chest.
"Don't say that, even if you want to leave me, I understand, I really don't deserve ......" She leaned on his chest and whispered.
He frowned, sighed heavily, and said, "I'm willing to try it once." But Ruojun, cherish me and love me. I'm not young anymore, and I won't have the courage to do it again. ”
She raised her eyelashes and said solemnly, "I know, since I have decided to marry you, I will naturally not fail you." ”
He picked her up and returned to the cabin, and the two took out the red candles and wine and food that had been prepared long ago, exchanged Geng Ti, worshiped heaven and earth, and wrote a little poem together:
"The love is strong, and the cold is waiting for you to come,
The meaning is continuous, and the flowers bloom and the hedge is knotted with double stamens.
Grace is endless, the pine and cypress in the deep mountains are evergreen,
Righteousness lasts forever, and the smoke locks the plum with the morning glow.
---- Ding Xiaohui, Mei Ruojun, the 10th day of December in the 30th year of the Republic of China, the marriage has been good for a hundred years, the years are long, and the love and righteousness will last forever. ”
The two signed their names again, smiled at each other, and drank a glass of wine.
Ding Xiaohui smiled and leaned into her ear and whispered, "Are you feeling better?" ”
Mei Ruojun's face was as red as a ripe apple under the reflection of the big red candle, and she nodded shyly. That night, he was very gentle and careful to have her.
In this way, Mei Ruojun officially married Ding Xiaohui, her past with Zhou Ruikang seems to have been completely cut, she was surrounded by Ding Xiaohui's strong arms, feeling very comfortable and safe, he had fallen asleep, but she couldn't sleep, looking at the night outside the window, she couldn't help sighing, she and Ruikang were really shallow, he was married twice, and he was married twice, but he couldn't get around, she suddenly remembered Mrs. Zhou's curse: "You will never get him......"
Maybe Mrs. Zhou's curse worked, yes, she will never get him, she will never be able to be with him, he can only live in her heart forever and forever.
Thinking of Mrs. Zhou's cold expression, Mei Ruojun shuddered, and Ding Xiaohui hugged her tighter in his sleep. Ding Xiaohui is simply her angel, a person who came to rescue her, a person who came to make up for her, she turned around and hugged him tightly, Ding Xiaohui woke up in a daze, kissed her, and said with a smile: "Ruojun, do you really love me?" ”
"Yes, yes, Xiaohui, I'm afraid of losing you."
"No, as long as you love me, I will guard you."
The two made love again, and then fell asleep together.
After marriage, Ding Xiaohui is more gentle and considerate, Mei Ruojun, under his favor, finally understands that love does not have to be vigorous, dry firewood and fire, and not necessarily full of tears, love can be as beautiful as the morning glow, sweet as honey, although Ding Xiaohui does not have Zhou Ruikang's enthusiasm and humor, but meticulous and affectionate make Mei Ruojun feel like soaking in sugar water every day.
In addition to teaching, Ding Xiaohui also began to use his medical skills to diagnose people in the small village below the mountain, and his income gradually increased. Mei Ruojun takes care of the housework with the children at home, teaches her husband and children, and does everything that a wife should do, only at the moment when the sun sets, she will look up at the sunset on the horizon and think about that person.
She didn't know how Ruikang was recovering? I still remember it in my heart, but Cheng Jiaqi didn't come to him again, presumably Ruikang is already fine. She secretly prayed that Ruikang would recover soon and be happy with Jiaqi.
