Double Dragon Gaiden The moment the flowers bloom
br/> The moment the flowers bloom
One
(Rooftop of a hospital)
In the early morning after the rain, a drop of rain gently slid down the eaves, a trace of fresh water vapor on the ground, blending into the early morning air, a breeze blew them into the face of a teenager, the young man sat in a wheelchair blankly, and did not feel any vitality around him, in this beautiful morning picture, he was obviously a very discordant black spot, he did not move, hung his head and looked ahead blankly, under his front, there was a peach forest that was sporadically blooming with flowers and bones.
"Need help?" A sweet and crisp lark-like voice sounded in the young man's ears, full of warmth, but the young man ignored her, how many times, he had become numb to this kind of care full of false affection......
"Oh, you like to see peach blossoms too? I'll tell you, I've been here every day since the day I was admitted to the hospital, and I've heard that the peach blossoms are the most beautiful when they bloom...... I've always wanted to see it with my own eyes, but unfortunately, it seems that it's just a flower bone now......"
Suddenly, the young man's spine seemed to be pricked by a needle, and the nerves in his body contracted violently, he raised his head, his angry eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and the girl who spoke was also stunned, and what she saw in her eyes was a pair of godless white eyes:
He can't see!
The teenager's name is Wu Jingbo, and a terrible car accident broke his legs, and what is even more hateful is that the sequelae of the car accident blinded Wu Jingbo's eyes...... Thinking of this, Wu Jingbo's mood deteriorated even more, and he angrily turned his wheelchair around and ran in a direction he didn't know...... He didn't feel the danger until the moment he slid down the stairs, but it was already too late......
Wu Jingbo's consciousness gradually sobered up, he only felt that his lips seemed to touch cotton, soft, sweet, bursts of fragrance into the nasal cavity, and he didn't have anything to do, when he was curious, there was a wheezing sound from under him, he realized that he was pressing a person, Wu Jingbo reflexively wanted to get up, suddenly, a girl's scream came from his ears:
"Ahh Me, I, my ...... Yes! What to do! ”
"Huh? I'm sorry, there was a very nasty person on the rooftop just now that made my emotions a little out of control, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay? ”
"What? Very annoying person? Kindness is not rewarded, the balcony cares about you kindly, you are a neurotic and actually turn your head and run, and when you fall, you are afraid that you will be injured and pounce on you to help you as a 'meat pad', you actually ......"
What the? It's her, Wu Jingbo was stunned, a little embarrassed to get up, and his face couldn't help but turn red:
"I'm sorry, I just ......"
"Woo-" The other party suddenly burst into tears, Wu Jingbo stayed in place, I don't know why, I just heard her say, "The most, the most annoying thing is the first kiss of the people!" Woo - my first kiss! Oh, my God! What should I do if I gave such a 'frog'! This image is too far from the Prince Charming in my mind! ”
"Huh?"
"Forget it, if the first kiss was given to you, then I can only marry you!"
"Ahh
"My dear, I'll be your fiancée in the future, but you have to treat me well!"
"Huh!?"
Two
(in a ward)
Wu Jingbo sat awkwardly in the middle of the ward, eager to find a hole to get into, while his 'fiancée' was seriously introducing her 'fiancé' to the three patients in the ward:
“...... That's the reason, so I solemnly announce now that this is my future husband: Wu Jingbo! ”
Wu Jingbo swallowed his saliva one by one, although he couldn't see it at all, so he didn't need to be nervous, but he clearly felt a pair of eyes looking at him strangely, and when he was about to open his mouth to refute, suddenly there was a crying shout in his ears:
"What! Lao Tzu is not convinced! How can it be? I knew that I could get it with a first kiss, I would have done it a long time ago - I don't accept it! Ask for a time turnback! ”
Wu Jingbo sweated, and was a little speechless in his heart for the patient who was screaming, and at this time, a steady and calm voice came:
"Alas! That idiot...... You don't have to worry about him, congratulations! Your 'fiancée' is a well-known 'sick flower' among the patients in our hospital! ”
'Sick Flower'...... The first time I heard it, it can be described like this...... The sweat on Wu Jingbo's face rose even more.
"Brother-in-law, are you hot? Why do you keep sweating? ”
Brother-in-law? Wu Jingbo shuddered in his heart, can I not sweat just by relying on your words......
"Okay, okay, I'll give you an introduction first, don't talk yet-husband, the people who speak very recklessly and steadily are Cheng Shuai and Tang Peng, they are detectives, very famous! It is said that a lot of big cases have been solved, and that little girl is my sister who I recognize, just call her Xiaojing, by the way, I don't seem to have introduced myself yet, right? Oh, what a negligence, your 'fiancée', my name is Qian'er, and I am a beautiful and generous, gentle and virtuous girl. ”
...... Qian'er? Wu Jingbo felt a little strange in his heart, and blurted out:
"Is it the 'Qian' of 'A Chinese Ghost Story'?"
Suddenly, the entire ward fell silent, as silent as death, Wu Jingbo couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, could he have said something wrong? At this moment, a pair of hands gently pressed on his shoulders, but he seemed to feel two heavy lead balls pressed on his shoulders.
"My dear, it's the 'Qian' of 'Pretty Girl Qianying', don't be wrong next time, your 'fiancée' I don't like others to get me and the female ghost together, okay?"
"Good ......" Wu Jingbo swallowed his saliva and nodded obediently......
Three
At noon, Wu Jingbo was sitting on his hospital bed thinking about things, and his mind was full of the absurdity of what he had experienced this morning...... Am I dreaming? That girl can't be serious, right? Ha ha! It must be a joke, how can there be such an exaggerated thing...... Suddenly, a loud sound of opening the door sounded in Wu Jingbo's ears, and then Qian'er's lark-like voice sounded in his ears:
"Husband, it's time to eat, I made you a love bento!"
Wu Jingbo almost didn't fall out of bed, oh my God! Why haven't you woken up from this dream yet......
"Husband!?" The patients in the same ward were immediately in an uproar, and someone shouted, "When did you marry such a beautiful wife?" ”
Wu Jingbo's face began to sweat again, and he kept reassuring himself that it was just a dream......
"Hee-hee? My encounter with my husband can be said to be a combination of fate, more romantic than love......" Then, Qian'er proudly told the rest of the ward about her 'destined encounter' with Wu Jingbo in the morning......
After hearing this, the others in the ward were silent, as if they were speechless at the same time, and Wu Jingbo silently recited in his heart over and over again: This is just a dream, this is just a dream, this is just a dream......
"Well, you just recognized him as your fiancé?"
"Yes! I'm very close to my husband, right? ”
“......”
"Excuse me, is your 'Qian' the 'Qian' of 'A Chinese Ghost Story'?"
"Smack"! Before the person who asked the question could react, a cup had already smashed on his face, and Qian'er had a dark face and glared at him coldly:
"It's the 'Qian' of 'Pretty Girl Qianying', don't tie me with the female ghost!"
The ward was silent again, as if they were all frightened by Qian'er's eyes, and after a while, someone finally couldn't help but whisper:
"Hey, what do you think?"
"Swan meat falls in a dog's mouth......"
"Such a beautiful beauty actually fell in love with a blind and lame disabled ...... Alas! The world is impermanent! ”
"Li Ning, anything is possible!"
“......”
As if sharp needles pierced the nerves deeply, Wu Jingbo felt that his whole person was pierced beyond recognition, his fists were clenched tightly, and green tendons bloomed out of his forehead, but Qian'er seemed to have heard nothing, and calmly helped Wu Jingbo to sit in a wheelchair and pushed him out of the ward, only to the balcony:
"My dear, your ward is so noisy, the whole hospital is the quietest here, hehe! This is also the place where our 'fates meet', let's eat here! You can't see, I'll feed you—open your mouth, ah-"
A quiet fragrance seeped into the rice and wafted into Wu Jingbo's nose, and at this moment, Wu Jingbo suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at him with strange eyes...... "touch"! He knocked off the food in Qian'er's hand, and pointed at her viciously with his invisible eyes:
"Enough! That's the end of the joke! I know I'm blind and lame, and I don't need you to pretend to be kind! I'll tell you, it's not once or twice that I've been teased like yours! Do you think I'm ridiculous and unlucky? Laugh then! I don't care! Stop making such boring jokes, I ......"
"Husband, don't make trouble, I didn't make a fuss with you, come, eat." Qian was still smiling, and scooped up a spoonful of rice again and sent it to Wu Jingbo.
Wu Jingbo lowered his face, suddenly raised his head and yelled at her:
"I said it's not your husband, it's just a kiss, when are you going to make trouble?"
The whole world seemed to be quiet in an instant, and Wu Jingbo himself was stunned, this atmosphere was really uncomfortable......
"It's just a kiss...... Qian'er lowered her head, her voice no longer sweet, "Do you know how important my first kiss is to me...... I just want to marry the first person who kisses me...... Don't you want me? ”
Yes!? Wu Jingbo was completely stunned, and there seemed to be drops of crystal tears in his originally dark world, dripping into the deepest part of his heart, it seemed that this girl was serious...... The two didn't speak again for a long time......
"Well, I'm sorry I was so cruel to you just now...... If...... You don't dislike it...... We can have a relationship first, just ......"
"Husband!" Wu Jingbo was hugged by Qian'er without speaking, "Great! I knew that my husband was not an irresponsible person! ”
Wu Jingbo couldn't breathe, and it took a long time to exhale:
"That...... Can you please stop calling me husband yet, I have goosebumps when I hear it......"
Four
Although I feel a little unaccustomed, but Qian'er seems to have an indescribable magic, when Wu Jingbo is unhappy, she always has a way to make him laugh, I don't know when, Wu Jingbo began to look forward to Qian'er's lark-like voice ringing in his ears, began to naturally integrate into Qian'er and her friends, began to let go of joking with them, and a long-lost smile began to appear on his face, he seemed to feel that the whole world was cheerful, as long as Qian'er was by his side...... However, there is one thing that has always troubled Wu Jingbo, that is, what is his feeling for Qian'er......
A month later, with Qian'er's support, Wu Jingbo finally threw down his wheelchair and walked into the ward, and there was immediately a round of applause in the ward:
"Not bad! You kid can actually walk, come, turn over and show us! ”
“...... Cheng Shuai, as soon as I heard it, I knew it was you, please, you wanted me to turn my head not long after I just stood up? ”
"Hehe, don't worry about that idiot, you're recovering pretty quickly, and your leg problem should be fully recovered in a short time."
"It's still Tang Peng who can speak." Qian'er nodded with a smile and looked at Wu Jingbo with a happy expression, "Honey, don't be too anxious, one day you will be completely fine." ”
"Well, I'm tired from helping me for so long, sit down and rest!" Wu Jingbo smiled and grabbed Qian'er's hand, he was used to this sweet feeling.
"Ahh Brother-in-law and Sister Qian'er are like a loving couple! Xiao Jing on the side suddenly shouted.
Wu Jingbo and Qian'er's faces immediately smiled brighter like a flower, and the two said in unison:
"We were husband and wife (in a sense)"
There was an immediate uproar in the ward, and everyone was happy to make fun of the two of them, and the room was filled with laughter, which provoked the doctors and nurses who were examining patients in other wards to come and watch curiously...... Wu Jingbo squinted his eyes, his heart was filled with sweetness and happiness, and whenever he was with Qian'er, he felt a lot lighter, and the whole person became cheerful, as if his world was bright again......
"By the way, I almost forgot to ask, that, brother-in-law, is Xiaojing's bento delicious?"
Wu Jingbo was stunned, and was about to ask her in the direction where Xiao Jing's voice came from, but Qian'er next to her hurriedly changed the topic in a panic:
"Xiao Jing, you see that there is a superman flying in the sky over there, shall we go over and take a look?"
“...... Sister, I'm ten years old......"
"Wait, what's the bento?" Wu Jingbo probably knew what was going on, and pretended to have a curious expression.
"It's the bento that my mother made for Xiaojing! My sister exchanged delicious corn with me every day, saying that she wanted to eat it for you, so it was delicious, right? My mom is a big chef! ”
Wu Jingbo turned his head and looked at Qian'er with a wicked smile:
"Good! It turns out that this is how the love bento you made for me every day 'with your own hands' came about. ”
Qian'er playfully stood up and grimaced at Wu Jingbo, and jumped back a few steps briskly:
"Yes and what? Who called my husband so stupid, how could I cook if I couldn't even soak instant noodles? And this is a hospital, where is there a place to cook for me? Wow! Husband is a fool! ”
"Okay, you! See how I catch you and clean you up! ”
"Good! Catch it and give you a reward! ”
Wu Jingbo stood up with difficulty, staggering to catch Qian'er, but every time Qian'er was dexterously dodged, Wu Jingbo couldn't see it, and could only rely on Qian'er's voice to catch her, Tang Peng and Xiao Jing kept shouting "Come on" on the side, Cheng Shuai found a newspaper from nowhere, and a serious book was rolled up and put on his mouth:
"Dear audience friends, this is the 'couple version of the eagle catching the chicken', I am the temporary host Cheng Shuai, and the situation on the scene is ......"
The room erupted in laughter again, and the atmosphere was full of joy...... Finally, Wu Jingbo caught Qian'er and held her in his arms, as if an electric current had touched his body, the sweet and happy feeling melted him in an instant, and he unconsciously hugged Qian'er tighter, at this moment he already clearly knew the answer to the question he had been wondering about......
"Qian'er...... I...... Like you. ”
"Yes! Husband, I'm ...... too."
The ward suddenly fell silent, and Wu Jingbo and Qian'er seemed to have forgotten the whole world and kissed each other affectionately......
"Help! Are you mistaken, there's also a sad member (and president) of the 'Singles Club', and you'...... Whining! I curse you! Curse your children to become permanent members of my 'Singles Club'! Whining! It's so sad......" Cheng Shuai suddenly shouted unconvinced.
Tang Peng and Xiao Jing were speechless at the same time, and they both lowered their eyes and glanced at Cheng Shuai:
"We despise you!"
Qian'er shyly hid in Wu Jingbo's arms, and Wu Jingbo said generously:
"Okay, Cheng Shuai doesn't have to be angry, it's a big deal that my future children and Qian'er will recognize you as a godfather!"
In an instant, the room was quiet, and the atmosphere this time was completely different from the previous ones, that is, dead silence...... Wu Jingbo didn't know what he said wrong, but he didn't care about it, and secretly made up his mind in his heart......
Five
At night, it was already late, the hospital was quiet, Wu Jingbo sat in the ward of Tang Peng and Cheng Shuai excitedly and said something, Cheng Shuai's expression was very strange, he wanted to say something several times, but was stopped by Tang Peng, Tang Peng sat calmly on the hospital bed, occasionally turned his head to look at Xiao Jing, who was already asleep, and waited for Wu Jingbo to finish speaking before slowly asking:
"You want to be transferred?"
"Well, but it's not a transfer, it's just a temporary transfer to a well-equipped hospital for eye treatment, the driver who caused the accident found it, he is willing to bear all the costs, and the doctor at that hospital said that my eyes are not completely necrotic, there is hope to regain my sight, do you know how excited I was after hearing the news? Even if it's a glance, I want to see Qian'er's face, I'm really excited! ”
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know, the doctor meant that it might take more than two months! Probably a little longer. ”
“...... Qian'er ...... Does she know? ”
"I know, she also promised to wait for me, she will leave tomorrow morning, I came here tonight to say goodbye to you, Xiao Jing woke up and asked you to tell him......"
Cheng Shuai, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help but stand up at this moment, gritted his teeth and said to Wu Jingbo:
"Two months, you say? Come on! Do you know Qian'er...... her?"
Tang Peng quietly stopped Cheng Shuai and didn't let him continue, Wu Jingbo was curious and looked at Cheng Shuai very suspiciously:
"Qian'er, what's wrong with her?"
"She's fine......" Tang Peng looked at Wu Jingbo calmly, and slowly turned his head to the side, "Do you know why Qian'er keeps running to this ward instead of staying in her own ward?" ”
"This ...... She refused to take me to her ward, which I thought was strange and asked about her ward, and she told me that she didn't like the atmosphere in her room, where people were sighing and sad all day...... Could it be that all the people in her ward are suffering from depression? Doesn't it look like it? My fiancée is so lively and cheerful......"
“...... It's okay, I wish you success in regaining your sight, and I'll send you back to your room. ”
......
Tang Peng returned to his room expressionlessly, and Cheng Shuai sat on the hospital bed waiting for him:
"Why didn't you tell him about Qian'er?"
"What's the use of saying it......"
"What is useless! Qian'er is terminally ill of cancer! What two months? The doctor said that it was a miracle that Qian'er could live for another month! Wu Jingbo, this kid ......"
"Forget it, we should understand Qian'er's intentions and make the people we like happy, that's enough
......"
"Alas......"
Six
More than three months have passed......
Walking into the ward, this ward that had left countless memories for Wu Jingbo, he clearly remembered that there was Qian'er's sweet and crisp voice like a lark, and here, Qian'er had read "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" to him countless times, here, there was Qian'er's body fragrance, and Qian'er's love for herself...... He wanted to take a look at Qian'er's face, and now, Wu Jingbo's eyes are better, but Qian'er is gone forever...... Never, I can't see the smile of my 'fiancée'......
Under a cabinet, there was a letter, which Qian'er wrote to Wu Jingbo:
"Dear husband,
Hello, great, congratulations on my husband's regaining his sight! I knew that sooner or later there would be this day, but unfortunately as a fiancée, I can't bless you in person, and I'll tell you why I haven't allowed you to ask the doctor about my condition! In fact...... I'm a cancer patient...... Husband...... I'm sorry......
For the rest of the time, I want to do everything I can to make you happy, husband, you know what? I really like you, I'm really happy during this time with you, maybe, it's my husband who brings me happiness, thank you, my husband.
I'm really scared, I'm afraid that one day you won't want me if you know I'm a cancer patient, husband, promise me, don't leave me, okay?
Every day, I sit stupidly on the rooftop and look at the peach forest, always fantasizing that one day you will appear in front of me at the moment when the peach blossoms bloom, but ...... The peach blossoms never bloomed, and you never came back......
I have to write this letter because today may be the day when I feel like I still have the strength to put pen to paper, and I don't cry...... I've been smiling, husband, I'll be smiling all the time waiting for you to come back, and they told me that I look very old now, husband, I'm not pretty anymore, do you still like me?
Husband...... I'm sorry, I can't hold the pen...... That's a lot to talk about...... Can't write...... If there is an afterlife...... Will you marry me......
Love you."
At some point, tears wet the envelope, blurring the handwriting...... Wu Jingbo quietly left the ward and came to the rooftop, where the peach forest below had become pink:
The peach blossoms seem to bloom in an instant, and it's really beautiful!
......
