Chapter 52: Just Let Me Die
I picked up Chen Yiyao and ran towards the gate of the cemetery.
I was very careful when I was holding her, like holding a clay doll, which could be broken if I was not careful.
There was no one in the cemetery, only my wheezing and hurried footsteps.
Chen Yiyao......
When you left quietly, you couldn't stand me.
But I later met Xia Yun and married her, I failed you.
We're kind of even.
From today onwards, when we reacquaint.
You don't want to leave!
I hugged her and whispered to her as I walked anxiously.
She curled up in my arms, unresponsive, as if she was asleep.
I became more anxious and quickened my pace.
Why is this road so long......
There are no taxis on the side of the road, only a private car passing by.
I desperately stopped the car, and a head stuck out of the cab.
"What's wrong?" It's a middle-aged man.
"Big brother, help help, I'm going to the hospital."
I hugged Chen Yiyao, who had fainted, and begged him vigorously.
He nodded, didn't say a word, turned his head and said a few words to his wife and children in the back seat.
Then he turned around and called me, "Come up to the back." β
Holding Chen Yiyao and sitting in the back seat, looking at the woman and child waving behind me, I was a little embarrassed.
"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you, big brother."
"You're welcome, the wife and children are playing on the mountain by themselves, it's important to save people." He glanced at me in the rearview mirror, "What's wrong with your daughter-in-law?" β
"Maybe the first two days of overtime were too tiring." I didn't correct him, and casually made up a reason.
The car was driving fast.
The trees on the side of the road are running backwards at a rapid pace.
I put Chen Yiyao's head on my lap and gently hugged her.
Suddenly felt that this scene was familiar.
I suddenly realized why I had called "Xia Yun" by the wrong name just now.
Once upon a time, I also hugged Xia Yun like this, sat in a car, and rushed to the hospital.
β¦β¦
Xia Yun graduated from graduate school that year.
With excellent results, she got the Offe of that multinational company
γ
Although we only started as a small management trainee, we were full of joy.
One day after work, I received a call from Xia Yun.
She excitedly told me that she had paid her first month's salary and wanted to eat hot pot with me.
She went to the supermarket first and bought a bunch of vegetables and a pound of lamb slices.
I got off work a little late, and when I got to the supermarket, she had already finished buying it.
Seeing me across the road, she was carrying two big shopping bags and running towards me like a rabbit.
"Slow down, watch out for ......," I shouted.
Before the words fell, only the sound of a sharp horn and brakes could be heard.
Her figure flew sideways.
"Xia Yun !!" My eyes darkened, and I rushed over.
She lay on the ground with her face covered in blood, her body curled up, and she had fainted.
Someone gathered around.
"Get an ambulanceβ" I shouted desperately.
In that car accident, Xia Yun's pelvis was seriously injured and took a long time to recover.
The new job has also been affected.
And the biggest impact is that it is difficult for her to get pregnant.
The doctor said that even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, it is easy to miscarry.
Hearing this news, Xia Yun didn't react much.
But after the doctor left, she lay on the hospital bed and covered her head with a quilt.
Crying for a long time.
On the roof of the hospital, I clumsily smoked my second cigarette.
Then tell Ah B and Li Anbang that I decided to propose to Xia Yun.
Neither of them spoke, but was silent for a long, long time.
Later, the two of them said a word.
Ah B said: "Lu Yanchen, I support you in this matter, but if it doesn't work, you have to invite me to drink." β
Li Anbang said: "In case Chen Yiyao comes back...... What to do? β
When this question was asked, Ah B raised his head, and the two of them glanced at each other.
Then they all looked at me.
The roots of my teeth were almost crushed.
I shoved the cigarette into my mouth and took a big puff.
Then there was a violent cough.
"It's been all these years...... Chen Yiyao has no news, what's the use of mentioning her now? β
When I finished coughing, I snuffed out my cigarette and said in a muffled voice.
"You all know my situation, the first day I was with Xia Yun, I was sorry for Chen Yiyao."
I wiped tears from my face.
"The idea of proposing marriage is quite sudden, to be honest, I have been with Xia Yun for so many years, it's not that I haven't thought about getting married, but I always feel far away from me, and I don't want to face it."
"But now that Xia Yun has such a file, she may not be able to have children in the future, this injury is caused by me, I am not responsible, who will bear it?"
That night, Xia Yun fell asleep in the hospital bed.
I sat alone on the rooftop, looking out at the dim moonlight in the night sky.
I only felt that Chen Yiyao's face was gradually disappearing in front of me.
"I'm sorry, Chen Yiyao."
"I once used Xia Yun as your substitute."
"But now, I'm afraid not."
"If you understand, bless me."
"If you really resent me, then ......"
"Just let me die......"
β¦β¦
The air was filled with the familiar smell of Laisu water.
It's still the familiar white ward, the familiar drip hanging next to the bed.
It's just that the woman lying on the hospital bed is not Xia Yun.
It's Chen Yiyao.
I looked at her in silence.
I just feel that the world is changing, and creation makes people.
After thirteen or fourteen years, she came back to me.
I don't know if she'll ever leave.
But I know that I have 10,000 reluctances in my heart.
I don't want her to leave the city again.
I don't want to lose her voice again.
I don't want her to be alone.
The results of the examination have come out, severe anemia, plus overwork......
Coupled with the death of the old man, multiple stimuli made her fall.
The doctor had suggested going back and resting for two days.
But I was always worried, so I asked for hospitalization and hung up on nutritional drips for two days.
It's better to be in the hospital than to go back to that lonely hotel room.
When I went to the nurse's station to remind me that the drip was almost over, someone suddenly called me behind me.
"Brother Lu?"
The voice was a little hesitant, as if it wasn't quite sure it was me.
I looked back and saw a guy with a list in his hand, his hair shiny and shiny.
"Monkeys? Why are you here? I asked.
"My brother was injured a little and came to the hospital for examination." His smile was piled up on his face, "Brother Lu, why are you here, my sister-in-law is sick?" β
"Ah...... Well, it's not a big deal, hospitalization check-up. "I was standing at the door of the ward.
It's not much of a place to greet either.
"Okay Brother Lu, you get busy first, and I'll come to visit you and your sister-in-law when I come back." He waved his hand at me enthusiastically.
"Don't bother, I'll go to your store to eat crayfish when I'm ready." I nodded politely.
"No trouble, no trouble......"
After entering the ward, I cautiously closed the door, for fear of disturbing Chen Yiyao.
But turn around.
She's awake.
