Chapter 34: Always being used
A few of them didn't go anywhere else, but sat down on the empty tables in the library, took the books in their hands, and slept on their arms for a while.
Cheng Yan and Lin Shuxi were not very convenient to talk in the library, so they wandered around the park next to the city library.
"You've been moving books all morning?" Lin Shuxi asked.
"Almost." Cheng Yan nodded.
"And are your arms sore?" Lin Shuxi then asked.
"It's okay, I don't feel much."
"You sit down, I'll press it for you, it should be quite tiring to move books." Lin Shuxi pulled Cheng Yan to sit on the bench and wanted to press Cheng Yan's arm.
"It's really okay, are you sleepy? Would you like to sleep for a while? Cheng Yan stopped Lin Shuxi after pressing her a few times, his arm really didn't feel sore now, and he knew that Lin Shuxi had also been busy all morning, so it shouldn't be easy.
"I seem to be a little sleepy." Lin Shuxi rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Wait a minute, I'll call you when the time comes." Cheng Yan adjusted his sitting posture so that Lin Shuxi could lean on his shoulder.
"Are you sleepy?" Lin Shuxi asked.
"Okay."
"Then let's go, go to the library, and lie down on the table so you can sleep." Lin Shuxi got up, and the two went back to the library and found an empty place in the corner.
"Sleep!" Cheng Yan whispered and gently patted Lin Shuxi's back a few times.
"Hmm." Lin Shuxi nodded with a smile, then buried his head in his arm, closed his eyes, and was really sleepy.
Cheng Yan is used to sleeping with his face sideways, but he puts one hand on the table and puts one hand on the pillow, and the other hand is wrapped around the back of his neck, so that the side face can only show his eyes.
Lin Shuxi woke up earlier, looked at the time, and only slept for half an hour, just half past one, I thought I would not wake up, and I needed Cheng Yan to call myself.
The surroundings were quiet, only a few people were reading, and the rest were lying on the table, Lin Shuxi quietly turned his head, looking at Cheng Yan's sleeping face, although he could only see his eyes, but Cheng Yan's eyelashes were thick and long, and it was especially obvious now that his eyes were closed, Lin Shuxi somehow had an urge to pull one down, but in the end he held back.
The afternoon sun was very abundant, and it was sprinkled on the ground little by little through the window lattice, on the bookshelves and on the table, Xu was stabbed in the eyes by the sun, and Cheng Yan frowned slightly.
Lin Shuxi unfolded the book next to him and blocked it on the table, and Cheng Yan slept in the shade, his eyebrows stretched.
Lin Shuxi saw that the screen of the mobile phone was lit up, and it was Lu Min and Su Ge who posted the pictures posted in the nursing home in the group.
Lu Min: Books, how's it going? That's a good shot!
Lin Shuxi: Good-looking, are you done?
Suge: Mm-hmm, it's almost over.
Lu Min: What about you?
Lin Shuxi: It will take some time in the afternoon.
…… The three of them chatted like this.
Cheng Yan opened his eyes at some point and saw Lin Shuxi sitting next to him, holding the book on his upper left with one hand, smiling brightly in the dazzling light, which made Cheng Yan have the illusion of returning to the summer of his sophomore year in high school, and it was also such an afternoon, but at that time, after Lin Shuxi helped him block the sun with a book, he fell asleep on the table again.
"You're awake." After Lin Shuxi and Lu Min Suge finished chatting, they turned around and found that Cheng Yan had opened his eyes.
"Hmm." Cheng Yan smiled and hummed, and reached out to pull the broken hair on Lin Shuxi's face behind his ear.
"Messy hair?" Lin Shuxi asked in a low voice, and then stretched out his hand to tie it again.
"It's not messy, you don't have to do it again." Cheng Yan replied.
"Oh, okay, then let's go and meet with the school committee." After Lin Shuxi finished speaking, the two got up and walked to the hall.
The work in the afternoon is almost the same as in the morning, but there seem to be more people in the afternoon, and Cheng Yan and Song Qianzhe sorted out the books for another two hours, and they were also arranged to work with Lin Shuxi and a few girls to help readers borrow books and use electronic devices and databases.
"Girl, let me ask, where is this book?" An aunt asked, pointing to the title of the book on the list in her hand.
"Auntie, on the left shelf inside, come with me!" Lin Shuxi replied.
"Hey, okay." The aunt followed Lin Shuxi to the inside.
"Auntie, it should be this bookshelf." Lin Shuxi glanced at the sign on the bookshelf, it was written as a chip, and it should be here.
"Okay, thank you."
"It's okay, then you can come back to me if you have any questions." After Lin Shuxi finished speaking, he turned around and left, and before he had taken a few steps, he was dragged into his arms, and there was a thunderbolt, and a stack of books fell from the place where he had just stood.
"Ah Xi, I didn't hit you, did I?" Cheng Yan's voice sounded above his head.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm glad I was dragged by you, otherwise I would have been hit." Lin Shuxi looked at the books scattered on the ground behind him, thinking about how much it would hurt if he fell on himself.
"Why did the book fall off?" Lin Shuxi and Cheng Yan squatted down to pick up the books on the ground and stacked them back on the bookshelf one by one.
"It shouldn't be put away, you have to look at it more next time, don't be smashed." Cheng Yan admonished.
"Uh-huh, okay."
After putting the books in order, the two went back to their places and continued their work.
The six of them were busy until about five o'clock, and Sister Glasses informed them that they could be over and handed out a commemorative badge from the library to everyone.
The school committee and the other two girls took a taxi back to school, and Song Qianzhe said that he had made an appointment and left.
Cheng Yan and Lin Shuxi discussed eating something nearby and then going back to their residence.
The two of them found a restaurant that looked good, but there were fewer people, and when they entered the door, the layout in the restaurant was not bad, but there seemed to be really few people, except for the two of them, and then there was a table by the window, and the rest were empty.
"There are so few people!" Lin Shuxi couldn't help but sigh.
"Sit here!" A boy dressed like a waiter walked over and led them to an empty spot, turning away without handing over the menu or asking them what they wanted to eat.
"Wait a minute, is there no menu?" Cheng Yan asked as the boy was about to leave.
"Yes, we don't have a menu in our restaurant, it's served randomly, and I don't know what the chef's next dish will be right now." The boy smiled and replied, "Think about whether you want to eat here?" ”
Lin Shuxi and Cheng Yan exchanged glances and said yes, "Let's eat here." Cheng Yan replied.
"Okay, please wait." The boy finished speaking and left.
"I didn't expect this restaurant to be so distinctive!" Lin Shuxi said with some excitement.
"yes, that's interesting!" Cheng Yan said.
"So that's why it's so few people?" Lin Shuxi looked around again, and felt pretty good, but compared to other restaurants, it was not a little deserted.
"There's a reason for that, but it's also a little inconspicuous in this position." Cheng Yan replied.
"Mm-hmm, yes, if you hadn't reminded me just now, I wouldn't have seen this restaurant." As soon as Lin Shuxi finished speaking, he saw the boy just now coming over with a dish.
"Apple wings." The boy said, "How about a taste?" ”
"Sweet and sour, impactful, good." Cheng Yan likes this apple chicken wings, and after adding apples, the chicken wings are not greasy at all and appetizing.
"Uh-huh, agreed, delicious." Lin Shuxi agreed.
"If you like it, eat it first, I'll go get one." The boy smiled and left.
In the next half hour, Cheng Yan and Lin Shuxi ate a lot of incredible dishes, a mix of bland and unremarkable foods, coupled with novel production techniques, the taste buds had an unexpected experience, although two of them were unacceptable, but most of them were unanimously approved by the two.
"It's okay, the two of us can't eat anymore." After Cheng Yan and Lin Shuxi finished eating yogurt and tomatoes, although they still wanted to eat them, there was no place in their stomachs.
The two came out of the restaurant and walked around the surrounding shopping malls for a while, and after eating, they took a taxi back.
"Ah Xi, how is it? Is it better? Cheng Yan asked with concern after the doctor's examination.
"Well, it's okay." Lin Shuxi's face was still a little pale, but Cheng Yan touched her forehead, and the fever should have subsided.
When he woke up early in the morning, Lin Shuxi felt a little dizzy, Cheng Yan came back after buying breakfast, and when he entered the house, he found that Lin Shuxi had sweat on his forehead, his face was white and scary, and he took his temperature, thirty-eight degrees seven, so he hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital.
The doctor gave a fever-reducing injection and is now on an intravenous drip.
"Ah Xi, you rest for a while, I'll buy you something to eat." Cheng Yan helped Lin Shuxi cover the quilt, and was just about to get up, but Lin Shuxi gently grabbed his fingers.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yan leaned over and asked.
"Don't go, stay here with me." Lin Shuxi's voice was very weak, but the meaning he expressed was very clear, and he didn't want Cheng Yan to leave.
"Okay, I'm not going." Cheng Yan sat back on the chair and held Lin Shuxi's hand with his backhand, "I've been here all the time, not leaving." ”
"Hmm." Lin Shuxi squeezed out a smile and hummed softly.
Lin Shuxi's eyes closed involuntarily, she was very sleepy, she was almost sleepless last night, and she didn't know when a letter was put in her coat pocket.
I thought it was someone's prank, and opened the envelope with doubts.
The contents of the letter made her feel extremely absurd, but some of the details of the dream that she could not remember were clearly written in the letter, and she threw the letter out the window, watching it be blown into the air by the wind, slowly away from sight.
Lin Shuxi thought that he would not be affected, but when he returned to bed, he didn't even notice that the window that poured in the cold air was not closed.
At night, several previous dreams kept reappearing in my mind, especially the dream where Cheng Yan almost had an accident, which was extremely clear and real.
Lin Shuxi was awakened again and again, could it be that there was really a chip in his head, a chip that was put into his head two years ago.
That's why I dream, and I know what is going to happen in my dreams, but since the midterm exams last semester, I haven't dreamed anymore, is it just a coincidence?
The letter was not completely written, only that if Lin Shuxi wanted to believe it, she would come to the hospital, and they would come to her.
Lin Shuxi didn't know if she didn't close the window yesterday intentionally or unintentionally, but now she seems to be a little regretful and a little scared, she wants to tell Cheng Yan, but she doesn't know how to speak.
"Cheng Yan, I want to talk to you about something." Lin Shuxi finally made up his mind and wanted to tell Cheng Yan.
"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Cheng Yan looked at Lin Shuxi very seriously, without a trace of perfunctory.
"Yesterday, I had a letter in my pocket, and the content of the letter was that I had a chip in my head, a chip that I put in during my car accident surgery two years ago, and this chip will affect my life for the rest of my life, so I need to take it out now, and the person who wrote the letter asked me to come to the hospital and wait, and they will come to me on their own initiative." Lin Shuxi finished word by word.
Cheng Yan was silent for a moment and then spoke: "I'll wait with you, whether it's true or not, you have to figure it out." ”
"Okay."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a "squeak" and the door of the ward was pushed open.
The person who came in made Lin Shuxi feel a little familiar, but he couldn't be sure.
"Girl." When someone said this, Lin Shuxi immediately remembered, "Did we meet yesterday in the library?" ”
"Yes." The visitor nodded.
"My surname is Zhou, Zhou Fang, are you Cheng Yan?" Zhou Fang continued, obviously a question, but listening to it was a statement, her calm and clear appearance made people a little uneasy.
"You put the letter?" Cheng Yan's expression did not change, and he asked unhurriedly.
"That's right." Zhou Fang nodded, "I put the letter in yesterday, you should have read the content of the letter, the main reason why I came this time is to help you take out the chip." ”
"Why should we believe you?" Cheng Yan continued to ask.
"If you don't believe it, you won't be waiting in the hospital, especially this girl, she herself should have an impression of the dreams written in my letter." Zhou Fang said, taking out a file bag from his bag, "The records in this one may be more convincing." ”
Cheng Yan took it and opened it.
There are two sheets of A4 paper inside, one full of text, and the other is a photo of Lin Shuxi lying on a hospital bed.
"So, why are you coming to me now?" Lin Shuxi asked.
"The latest tests and experiments have shown that the chip may cause damage to your cranial nerves, and we have already made mistakes back then, and we can't continue to make mistakes." Zhou Fang explained.
"What do you mean is that you quietly put the chip in my head for testing two years ago, and now your conscience finds that you don't want to continue this project, so you have to help me take it out." Lin Shuxi's voice was cold and terrifying, so he had been being used.
"Girl, we were responsible for your surgery and various post-treatments, otherwise you wouldn't have recovered so quickly, this matter was implemented after your mother signed and agreed, if it weren't for us, you would ...... now"
"Say no more!" Cheng Yan interrupted Zhou Fang's speech.
"You can go." Cheng Yan didn't want Fang to continue to say anything that made Lin Shuxi sad.
"Okay, contact me if you have any questions, but the sooner the chip is taken out, the better, this is my phone." Zhou Fang put a business card on the table and turned to leave.
"Ah Xi, it's okay, it's okay, don't believe what she said." Lin Shuxi bent his legs and sat on the hospital bed, the ruddy flush on his face that had finally faded little by little, pale and gloomy.
"Cheng Yan, but what she said is very right, I really dream, I will dream of you, the next day the same thing will happen in reality, at noon on that exam, I dreamed that you had an accident, you were pushed down from the upper floor, I can't catch you, you are getting farther and farther away from me......" Lin Shuxi's voice gradually sobbed, and his head was buried deep in his arm.
"It's okay, it's all over." Cheng Yan pulled Lin Shuxi into his arms and comforted him softly.
"Cheng Yan, let's go home, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."
"Okay."
Cheng Yan wet the towel and wiped Lin Shuxi's face, the tears were gone, but the eyes and nose were still red.
"Ah Xi, are you sleepy?" Cheng Yan knew that Lin Shuxi was not sleepy at this time, but he still had to ask, if, if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, Lin Shuxi said that he was sleepy, Cheng Yan would give up the idea of saying everything, he knew that now was not a good time, but Fang Those people actually came to find Axi, he knew that this chip would have to be taken out sooner or later, but he always looked forward to it later, he could wait for him to investigate everything clearly and arrange everything properly, besides, maybe Axi would be a little more acceptable.
"Not sleepy."
"Then I'll tell you a story, it's not a good story." Cheng Yan said.
"Hmm." Lin Shuxi leaned on Cheng Yan's shoulder, she was not in the mood to listen to the story now, but she could feel that this story was related to herself and what happened today.
"Then I'm going to tell the story."
The author has something to say: The timeline goes back to four years ago, that is, Lin Shuxi and Cheng Yan's first real first meeting.
