Chapter Twenty-Four: Early Winter Quietly Blooms Strange Kapok

"Dare to love and have a helper who is so disrespectful, why do you stand up for this stinky girl!"

"I'll protect her!"

A coffee can was smashed towards the winter.

"Don't!"

……

In the hospital, Jiang Xiaomian exclaimed that she had a nightmare, and she seemed to be dying in front of the abyss. In the darkness, I only felt that my body was a little wet, all because of the cold sweat just now.

Gradually, she regained consciousness, and when she became conscious, she moved her body, and it was a thousand weights, as if she had been pressed on a cross in front of her, and she tried her best to turn over, and it took a long time to struggle.

Her eyes widened, and those smart eyes blinked and turned, trying to find a glimmer of dazzling light.

To no avail, she stretched out her hands to grab something in the darkness, but there was nothing but something soft and like a quilt.

"Darkness, chaos, silence, is this what people feel like when they die?" Jiang Xiaomian's whole heart was hesitating, and in about a minute, a voice broke her assumptions.

"Xiaomian is awake, she is awake!"

Jiang Xiaomian's ears went to the side in the direction of the sound source, and he could tell that it was Xian Xinchen's call.

"Xiaomian ......"

This was the sound of her mother and Uncle Xian crying with joy.

"Mom......"

Jiang Xiaomian moved her miserable white lips before her lips revealed the innermost trace of blood, and she thought to herself, "Huh? Can I still hear myself? ”

Then, I felt a pair of hands, warm and powerful, holding myself tightly.

"Mommy's hand." Jiang Xiaomian spoke softly, raised the hands he was holding again, blinked, and tried to see them clearly.

However, there were no hands to be seen, and nothing was supposed to be in front of her.

Bai Shengxue sniffed, and could hear that it was because of tears, "Child, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Xiaomian groped her mother's face, even her fingernails were trembling, and she bit the word "Mom" and said, "Mom, Mom...... I can't seem to see anything......"

Those eyes should have been smart and energetic, full of autumn water, but now they are both dull and empty, and there is no shadow in the reflection, only the clear fear is flashing.

The hearts of the people present were like a piece of iron, and they looked at each other with different colors, speechless.

"Doctor, doctor!"

Then, Jiang Xiaomian heard the sound of Uncle Xian running out.

The mother held back tears and cried out on the side, patting her back to comfort her, so that her daughter tried her best to calm down.

Jiang Xiaomian gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, and a few tears rolled down her face, as if she heard the "ticking" sound of it falling on the quilt.

But she really wanted to see the tears rolling down the quilt and rendering them out.

In the department, Bai Shengxue grabbed the doctor directly, and she was more anxious than anyone else.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

"The film shows that the patient's visual center of the head has been damaged, and there is a blood clot blocking this area, so it causes temporary blindness."

"Temporary blindness?"

The doctor continued to comfort them: "Temporary blindness means that her condition is still very optimistic, because the blood clot is relatively small, there is no need for surgery to remove it, it can be treated with chemical treatment, and the vision recovery period depends on the patient's recovery, and clinical experience shows that the best recovery treatment is one month at the earliest."

After listening to the doctor's words, everyone's frightened hearts were calmed down a little.

In the ward, Jiang Xiaomian was accidentally left alone.

"Does fate also learn to lay the groundwork?" Jiang Xiaomian gasped for uncomfortable breath, couldn't exhale and couldn't exhale, and was panicked in his heart.

Remembering the outreach activity of playing the blind man, she helped the things around her to get out of bed, and explored everything barefoot, stools, beds, tables, windows......

"Real blindness, it's so scary, what fun can it be in a lifetime like this." Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaomian's body trembled unconsciously, and leaned directly against the table on the side, his fingertips accidentally scratching something.

The sound of a broken cup made her scream.

"Xiaomian!"

Xian Xinchen rushed to help, "Xiaomian, you can rest assured and recuperate, the doctor said that after the recuperation period, your eyes can be restored." ”

Jiang Xiaomian couldn't see Xian Xinchen talking, she couldn't tell whether it was a truth or a lie.

"Really?"

At least a smile could be heard in Xian Xinchen's words, "Really, when did I lie to you?" ”

Did he really not lie to her? This sentence is beyond the reach of Jiang Xiaomian.

"It's been a long time since I've said hello to the outside world, so take me out and have a look."

Jiang Xiaomian's request was very small.

"Xiaomian, you just woke up, it's not suitable to go..."

Jiang Xiaomian interrupted him, and his eyes showed stubbornness and groped to the window, "Today's sunshine must be very bright." ”

Xian Xinchen couldn't help it, so he brought a wheelchair and pushed her outside.

Jiang Xiaomian is right, the sun is so warm and kind, full and pouring into every corner, shining with new life.

Even if it shatters on the surface of the lake, rippling with the water, it can drive away the cool autumn mood on the lake.

Xian Xinchen and Jiang Xiaomian, just like that, quietly leaned on the road of the tree, walked for a long time, silent.

Until Xiang Dongyang came over according to Bai Shengxue's words.

The coolness brought by the wind blowing on his cheeks made people feel helpless, Jiang Xiaomian followed the sound of the wind, and heard the wailing of the wild geese, which was difficult to stop resounding for a long time.

The geese are migratory birds.

Jiang Xiaomian spoke first: "Helen Keller once said, 'If she has three days of light, she wants to see the person who makes her life worthwhile on the first day; The next day, I want to see the vagaries of light and the sunrise; On the third day, I want to explore and research. ’”

The sadness in her words made Xian Xinchen feel that her sentimentality became more vulnerable in a moment.

"Xiaomian, we will always be by your side, and everything will be fine."

Every word of Xian Xinchen can pick out the thorn in her heart when Jiang Xiaomian hears it.

"You guys?"

Xian Xinchen replied carefully: "Yes, I, Dad and Aunt Bai, we are all by your side."

Jiang Xiaomian muttered quietly: "Why it's you, not you." You alone, for me, is enough. ”

In the muttering sound, Xian Xinchen saw Xiang Dongyang who was looking for him, and gave him the pusher.

The two men did not have a word of dialogue, only eye contact.

Jiang Xiaomian noticed that Xian Xinchen was silent for a moment before pushing himself forward. She guessed that the reason for his silence was because of the muttering she had just made.

But after a while, I didn't hear Xian Xinchen's voice.

"Xinchen, why didn't you speak?"

Jiang Xiaomian called Xian Xinchen's name like this for the first time, and he didn't hear his answer.

Xiang Dongyang frowned, lowered his head gloomily, and looked dumbfounded, for fear that Jiang Xiaomian would notice that Xian Xinchen had left.

The pink and colorful different kapok, the flowers reflected all over the branches, the sunlight cast the shadows of the trees, illuminating the ground mottled, and the two people walked slowly and silently.

The flowers behind him fell quietly, and Jiang Xiaomian sighed slightly, very lightly.

"I used to want to have a star, thinking that if he was there, it would be enough to light up my world, so I painted him all over my book. But then, I lost it and never got it back, perhaps because God deliberately warned me not to worry about this star again. ”

Jiang Xiaomian's words were cold and sarcastic in the autumn breeze.

"Xinchen, I'm thinking, if Helen Keller had three days of light, she would have three wishes. If my light is only for one day, then I just want to look up to the star that I can't have, and it's you. ”

Xiang Dongyang held his breath, he didn't dare to speak, he couldn't bear to disturb, and he didn't dare to pant comfortably, for fear that Jiang Xiaomian would recognize that this was not Xian Xinchen's breath.

At this time, he would rather replace Xian Xinchen's role in a world that Jiang Xiaomian can't see. Humble, very humble.

With humility, I have been with her for a long, long time.

The wind quietly blew the fallen leaves, falling on Jiang Xiaomian's body, and Xiang Dongyang gently took it away.

"Is it fallen leaves?" Jiang Xiaomian stretched out his hand and felt the rush of the wind slipping away from his fingertips.

Xiang Dongyang narrowed his eyes slightly, he couldn't keep quiet anymore, stopped the wheelchair, stepped out of the footsteps, pretended to have just arrived, and called out her name: "Xiaomian..."

Hearing Xiang Dongyang's voice, Jiang Xiaomian retracted his hand and retracted the melancholy just now.

Knowing that he is accustomed to laughing on weekdays, Jiang Xiaomian also pursed his lips and smiled: "Are you here?"

"Yes, I'm here."

There was only a conversation between the two of them, Jiang Xiaomian's face was a little ugly, she didn't seem to feel Xian Xinchen's existence anymore, and asked, "Is he gone?"

Xiang Dongyang said: "Let's go, his back has just disappeared."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaomian lowered his face, and his lost eyes were like a pool of deep stagnant water.

Xiang Dongyang half-squatted in front of the wheelchair, and asked her: "How are you, are you better?"

Jiang Xiaomian nodded, even if it was good or bad, she would acquiesce.

"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for my impulsiveness, you wouldn't be like this..."

Although Jiang Xiaomian couldn't see his ashamed expression, she could imagine it, and she didn't want to mention it.

"Dongyang, it's windy, let's go back."

Xiang Dongyang, or, Dongyang.

Remove the call of the surname.

This was the first time Jiang Xiaomian had called him like this.

But Xiang Dongyang was ecstatic, showing a childlike smile. Even if it was because Xian Xinchen was not by her side, she wanted to go back.

Xiang Dongyang pushed Jiang Xiaomian around and walked on the way back.

The way to the place was clean.

On the way back, a few petals were laid.

It is the falling flower of the iso kapok.

If it weren't for Jiang Xiaomian's reason, Xiang Dongyang, as a big man, would not have paid attention to what kind of flower it was for eight lifetimes.

The petals of the flowers blown by the wind and fell around them, but only one, as if given spirituality by nature, fell on Jiang Xiaomian's hand.

She fumbled with it in her palm, then blinked around with a pair of unseen eyes. Although, this look is redundant.

"It's iso-kapok." Sniffing the smell of flowers, Jiang Xiaomian guessed accurately.

Xiang Dongyang nodded and smiled, "I know."

But seeing Jiang Xiaomian tilting his head and throwing the flowers gently, he didn't seem to have much interest, and his long words fell very carefully: "Mahogany is different from isokapok, mahogany is better in color, it is a lively envoy of spring, and it is also a fleeting beauty; Although the different kapok can withstand the cold and loneliness, and keep the autumn and winter, if there is a fly in the ointment, it is the pink color of the flowers, and the symbol is lost to the mahogany. Kapok red, its red is not only gorgeous, but also life, but also the hope of survival after the remnant of winter. ”

is also a plant of the Kapok family, Xiang Dongyang originally thought that Jiang Xiaomian would be extremely fond of the two flowers and treat them equally, but this is obviously not the case.

She continued: "My love for kapok is like Yuan Zhen's sentence 'Once the sea is difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud'. There is the presence of mahogany, and nothing else. Now I can't see it, but I can also know that the trees full of different kapok must be falling with the wind, silently. If you change to mahogany, even if you can't see it in full bloom, you can hear it fall to the ground. ”

Xiang Dongyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and reminded her: "If it is a red cotton, then you will see it in full bloom with your own eyes."

"Maybe that's the case." If Jiang Xiaomian's eyes were bright, she hoped so.

When I returned to the entrance of the hospital, the voice of the person next to me sounded in my ears.

"Come back for a follow-up appointment on Saturday, let's go!"

This is the nurse's advice to send the patient away.

Jiang Xiaomian suddenly remembered and asked: "What day of the week is today, why do you have time to come to the hospital, Lin Shen didn't come."

"It's Wednesday." Xiang Dongyang replied honestly, "I came here while I was taking advantage of the elective class. ”

Jiang Xiaomian frowned and urged him: "Then you should go back quickly."

Xiang Dongyang was on the side, with a half-stunned expression, as if he had decided for a long time before he spoke, "Then I'll come to see you on Saturday, and when the time comes, I have something to give you." ”

"What's that?" Jiang Xiaomian felt that there was a bit of mystery in the heaviness of his words.

"You'll know when the time comes."

After Jiang Xiaomian nodded, Wu Yuanhao's voice came from a distance.

"Xiao Mian"

Jiang Xiaomian couldn't tell which side he should turn his head towards, so he only stretched out his hand and fumbled and waited.

"Wish, are you here..."

Wu Yuanhao held Jiang Xiaomian's hand and said "um".

Xian Xinchen said to Wu Yuanhao: "Wish, you accompany Xiaomian, and I will send Dongyang." ”

"Okay."

Wu Yuanhao pushed Jiang Xiaomian into the ward, and Xian Xinchen accompanied Xiang Dongyang out of the hospital.

Along the way, Xiang Dongyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xian Xinchen, and muttered his lips, "You are very good, I naturally can't compare to you." ”

Xian Xinchen smiled and looked down at the road under his feet, he was soured, but fortunately, the vinegar was very shallow, not so strong.

Xiang Dongyang continued to ask, "Can you tell me who the woman next to you was just now?"

Xian Xinchen smiled, and in a short period of time, he was asked such a heavy question, so he asked back, "Why are you asking me like this?" ”

Seeing that Xian Xinchen could still answer with a smile, Xiang Dongyang couldn't guess what kind of affection Xian Xinchen had for Jiang Xiaomian, but now it seems that there is a slight gap with what he imagined.

Xiang Dongyang turned his head and said in an unconvinced tone: "I can see that Jiang Xiaomian likes you, she depends on you, and your feelings for her are also very subtle. ”

Xian Xinchen wants to let Xiang Dongyang know that it doesn't matter if he eats this vinegar.

"I have someone I like, for Xiaomian, she has been my sister from the beginning, I have been taking care of her until I know you, I have an intuition that you will treat her better than me."

These words made Xiang Dongyang take a dull start, because Xian Xinchen's words were too straightforward, not an explanation, but more like a promising entrustment.

Xiang Dongyang couldn't hide the joy at the corner of his mouth, and guessed: "The person you like, is that wish?"

Xian Xinchen nodded.

Xiang Dongyang couldn't help but say "wow" in his heart, this rival in love could be said to be in danger, so he asked again: "Does Xiaomian know?"

Xian Xinchen shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "So, I have to wait for you, and when you walk into Xiaomian's heart, this matter will not be so cruel to her." ”

Xian Xinchen's words were said as easily as a burden, but Xiang Dongyang still frowned and listened to the words so heavily.

The different kapok blooming on the side of the road is arrogant and gorgeous, what Jiang Xiaomian said just now, Xiang Dongyang still remembers it clearly, he first pouted Lao Gao, closed his eyes and said: "If you use the kapok that Xiaomian likes as a metaphor, you are like the red kapok blooming in spring to her, she will stop and look up every time; And for her, I am the isokapok that is in full bloom now, there is a red kapok that has taken root in her heart, and I can only bloom in such a lonely season, and it will never penetrate deeper into her heart than that red kapok. ”

This analogy is very appropriate, and it fits perfectly.

Xian Xinchen listened to this young man's words, only laughed as a joke, and seriously enlightened him: "Dongyang, so you have to be the red kapok that bloomed in her heart!"

Such a word made Xiang Dongyang smile with bent eyebrows.

At this time, the car happened to come, and Xiang Dongyang got into the car after listening to Xian Xinchen's words.

They chatted all the way, delaying some time, Jiang Xiaomian felt abnormal.

"Wish, why hasn't Brother Xinchen come back yet?"

Wu Yuanhao opened the curtain and looked at it, and his eyes just met Xian Xinchen who walked back, "I'm coming back soon." ”

It wasn't until Xian Xinchen pushed the door over that Jiang Xiaomian asked him with some relief: "Why have you been there for so long?" ”

"I answered the company's phone halfway and dealt with a little bit of things, so it took a little longer." Xian Xinchen made up a lie to Jiang Xiaomian.

Jiang Xiaomian couldn't see it, Wu Yuanhao could see it, and his mobile phone was obviously lying on the stool next to him.

But this lie has not been exposed, Wu Yuanhao knows that even if Xian Xinchen lies, it is not a malicious lie.
