Lin Yi walked out of the doctor's office in a daze, he stood against the wall by the door of Qiao Shu's ward, gradually slipped down and sat on the ground, slowly curled up his legs, and held his head. The scene on the day of Qiao Shu's recovery was like yesterday.

It was the eve of Qiao Shu's high school entrance examination, and every time she came out of that doctor, she felt better and better, and her all aspects improved significantly. The doctor told her that she would be treated one last time, and she would go back to recuperate for about three months, and she would basically recover.

Hearing the news, Qiao Shu, who was only 16 years old at the time, was as happy as a 3-year-old child getting candy.

On the day she was born, due to the violent pull of the midwife, resulting in a delicate baby's spinal deformation, but unfortunately it has not been discovered, when she grew up, Qiao Shu just walked a little inside, it was slightly difficult to run and jump, and the left hand was more shaky and affected the right hand, and the conclusion of major hospitals was "birth hypoxia". It wasn't until the second year of junior high school that by chance, Lin Yi met this doctor and discovered the hope of rebirth.

Knowing that success was imminent, her parents and two teachers accompanied her to the last treatment. Lin Yi remembered that that day, Qiao Shu was running home.

Suddenly, Lin Yi suddenly remembered a doctor's words in his mind. "I was so excited that I forgot to ask Xiao Qiaoshu. Even if you recover, try to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue, otherwise it is easy to relapse. Because he used to be an athlete, he always took the phrase life in sports as his motto, and deeply influenced Qiao Shu, so even if Qiao Shu later learned about the doctor's instructions, he did not take it to heart. After Qiao Shu recovered, he ran 1.5 kilometers with Lin Yi every weekend, and in the past six months, he suddenly increased to run 10 kilometers every weekend.

He stubbornly got up from the ground, took out his mobile phone from his pants bag, and was looking for a phone number, which took him a long time before he found it. He hadn't contacted the doctor for almost five years.

"Hey, who's that?" The porcelain voice of a young woman came from Lingling.

The doctor who treated Qiao Shu at the beginning has long since passed away, and now only his son is left, and his medical skills are even better. And the one who answered the phone was probably his son's daughter.

Lin Yi's tone was slightly modest. "Excuse me, is Dr. Miao here?"

The woman received such a call more than once, answered yes, and immediately handed the phone to her father. The voice was old and energetic, and it sounded like it was sixty or seventy years old. "Hey, hello."

Hearing such a voice, Lin Yi's heart was relieved, it seems that his health is still good, and he should be able to go to the hospital. He smiled and said, "Doctor Miao, hello, I'm Lin Yi." ”

"Teacher Lin, what's the matter?" Each of Dr. Miao's patients has undergone a long-term course of treatment, and although Lin Yi has not been to him for many years, he still has not forgotten.

Lin Yi looked through the window of the ward door and saw that Wang Mushi was still lying on the side of Qiao Shu's bed crying, Jiang Xirong comforted him on the side, often quietly wiping away his tears, and Qiao Shibin was in a hurry there, pacing back and forth. He sighed deeply and spoke for a long time: "Doctor Miao, do you remember the girl I introduced to you more than ten years ago?" ”

Dr. Miao quickly searched through his mental memories and retrieved Qiao Shu's medical records from his mind. "Oh! I remembered that it was the one who was unwell at first, and then his limbs moved back to normal. What's wrong? ”

Lin Yi hammered against the wall, his forehead resting on his fist. "She fainted. The hospital said that she was overtired, but it was almost a day, and she hadn't woken up yet. ”

When Dr. Miao heard this, he immediately jumped up from his chair, surprised and a little angry. "What? Faint? Still overtired? You make it clear what the hell is going on!? ”

Lin Yi walked a little farther away from the ward, and he hadn't figured out how to tell Qiao Shu's parents and Jiang Xirong about it. "She's been working overtime lately, getting very little sleep, and ...... She's been running with me for months. ”

Dr. Miao immediately put on his shoes and prepared to go out. "In which hospital, I'll come right over."

After Lin Yi told him, he entered the ward.

They knew that Lin Yi knew that doctor, and they must have found out the truth. Jiang Xirong couldn't wait to ask, "What did the doctor say?" ”

Lin Yi found a place to sit down, and thought for a long time before saying, "Xiao Qiao is very likely to ...... There is a good chance ......"

Jiang Xirong is already an acute child, and he can't wait at all, let alone this critical juncture. She was very impatient. "What the hell is going on?"

"It's very likely that we will have to return to the way we were, and all the previous efforts were in vain." After speaking, Lin Yi lowered his head, the man didn't flick when he had tears, but he cried more than once today, and tears once again appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Xirong, Qiao Shibin, and Wang Mushi all asked in unison: "What?!" Restore the previous ?! ”

And Li Rou and Xiao Gao don't understand at all, what was it before the recovery? What is the waste of hard work?

The sky gradually darkened, and Jianghong City slowly turned into a colorful appearance. The neon lights were still flickering up and down the building, left and right, and the night was no different, except that the 17th floor of the building was completely dark, without a single light.

At this time, Dr. Miao appeared in the ward, and except for Lin Yi, everyone else was extremely surprised. Lin Yi immediately got up and helped Dr. Miao to the bedside.

As soon as he saw Qiao Shu's face, Dr. Miao knew something bad. Lin Yi and Qiao Shibin flipped Qiao Shu over and lay on the bed, Dr. Miao started from Qiao Shu's cervical vertebrae, bare hands in the way of pressing and touching, with the midline as the standard, from top to bottom, from left to right for examination, probably this is to feel the bones to see a doctor.

After the inspection, Lin Qiao and the others turned Qiao Shu over and lay upright. Doctor Miao looked at Lin Yi. "Teacher Lin, you just said on the phone, Qiao Shu doesn't get enough sleep and runs every week, how long did he sleep? How many runs? ”

Lin Yi looked a little haggard at this time, maybe he was tired. "Three or four hours a day this week, and an all-nighter last night. After recovery, he ran 1.5 kilometers every weekend, and in the last six months, he has increased to 10 kilometers every weekend. ”

Dr. Miao slapped the table several times. "Confused! Teacher Lin, I remember that three days after Qiao Shu recovered, I instructed you to avoid fatigue and strenuous exercise. What, you forgot to tell her? ”

Lin Yi's face was full of sorrow, his face had always had wrinkles, but now his face seemed to be wrinkled, as if he couldn't stretch. "I haven't forgotten, she hasn't forgotten, none of us have forgotten. But...... After so many years, we thought it was all right and wouldn't come back again. ”

As a doctor, Dr. Miao felt sorry for the child on the bed, and wanted to blame these elders around her, but she couldn't speak. He was silent.

There was a sudden silence in the ward, and even Qiao Shu's faint breathing could be heard. Wang Mushi was anxious, she didn't speak, she was anxious, even a little irritable, and pretended to be calm. "Doctor Miao, what's wrong with Qiao Shu? Is there anything you can do? ”

Dr. Miao always thought that if he encountered any spinal disease, he could solve the problem, and even solve the problem that his father could not do anything about, but after he checked Qiao Shu's spine just now, he found his own shortcomings. "Her spine was completely deformed, with lower middle and lower scoliosis and other parts out of place, and it was severe in every place. I can wake her up and straighten her spine, but when she wakes up, she's just as mobile as she was when she didn't have treatment more than a decade ago, or even worse, but there's nothing I can do. And if you don't pay attention to your daily life in the future, your life may be in danger. ”

This sentence surprised everyone present. The four of them understood very well, coupled with Qiao Shu's trembling left hand just now, the various efforts and efforts in the past ten years were originally close to the full score, but now they were about to return to zero, they couldn't accept it, and they were even more afraid that Qiao Shu would wake up and couldn't accept it.

Despite this, the urgent thing now is to let Qiao Shu wake up as soon as possible, or let Dr. Miao heal her. Three times five divided by two, Qiao Shu showed signs of awakening - he wanted to drink water. After Wang Mushi poured water for her to drink, there was no movement again.

Dr. Miao told them not to be in a hurry and told them, "She should wake up after half an hour of sleep." She's so tired! Then Dr. Miao had to leave, after all, it was not appropriate for a private doctor to stay in this kind of hospital.

During this period, Qiao Shibin told Li Rou the story of Qiao Shu, which was something that each of them did not want to recall, but they had to face it. After listening, Li Rou and Xiao Gao widened their eyes and opened their mouths in surprise. They couldn't imagine that the perfect Sister Qiao they envied actually had such a past.

Sure enough, Qiao Shu slowly woke up half an hour later, her face gradually became rosy, and the dark circles under her eyes slowly faded. She looked at this place that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and the people around her almost had tears in their eyes. She smiled like an April day on earth. "Where am I? Why are you all crying? ”

Everyone was very surprised when they saw Qiao Shu wake up, asking if Qiao Shu was feeling unwell or anything, but they never mentioned that she had recovered from before. Li Rou also told her that the gift had been handed over to the two teachers, Qiao Shu smiled, happy from the bottom of her heart, Li Rou understood her, very well.

Qiao Shu remembered the results of his work, pulled Li Rou and asked, "Rourou, our cover ......"

Li Rou patted Qiao Shu's hand and said with relief: "Sister Qiao, don't worry, the editor-in-chief said in the WeChat group just now that our work was accepted." ”

The big stone in Qiao Shu's heart fell.

During this period, Lin Yi always kept his head down and did not speak. He is usually a talkative person, and there is no such situation.

Qiao Shu looked at Lin Yi with a smile. "Teacher Lin, what's wrong with you?"

In fact, Lin Yi has been doing psychological struggle just now, if he is discovered by Qiao Shu himself, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to accept. still plans to tell her in person, after all, her body is her own, and the road of life is also for her to walk by herself. Lin Yi raised his head and saw Qiao Shu's smile like a flower, he couldn't bear it, since he knew Qiao Shu, she always had such a face blooming like a flower.

Lin Yi walked towards Qiao Shu, took her hand, and spoke seriously. "Little Joe, the teacher has something to tell you, you must hold it after listening."

Qiao Shu didn't seem to understand, she didn't know what was going on. And after Lin Yi said this, Jiang Xirong slapped him on the back and signaled not to say it. Qiao Shu knew that this matter was related to him, and it was not simple.

Lin Yi paused slightly, but still chose to tell her. "Because you've not had good rest lately, coupled with long-term strenuous exercise, your spinal disease has recurred. In other words......" Lin Yi suddenly didn't know how to continue, he was afraid of stimulating Qiao Shu.

Qiao Shu's smile froze, she was there, she probably guessed what Lin Yi meant. She lifted her left hand into the air, exactly as before, her hand trembling and widening in small increments. She put her hand back under the covers and pressed her left hand tightly with her thigh. "So I'm going to be the way I used to be?" She knew she couldn't draw or run.

Lin Yi nodded, with self-reproach: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have taken you to run, let alone run so much." I really knowingly did it, otherwise you wouldn't have ......"

Li Rou also said: "Blame me, I shouldn't have gone to sleep by myself, let Sister Qiao work alone, and let Sister Qiao not sleep much for a week." ”

Qiao Shu shook his head, his tone extremely flat. "I don't blame you, I did it myself, and it has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Xirong immediately hugged Qiao Shu and stroked her head. "Good boy, don't be sad, even if you become the way you used to be, you can continue your wonderful life, didn't you live a chic life before?"

Qiao Shu leaned on Jiang Xirong's arms, she didn't cry, she still forced herself to laugh, which made them very uncomfortable. "I'm not sad that the previous efforts were in vain, we can start all over again. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will contact Uncle Miao, and he will definitely have a way. ”

Wang Mushi suddenly cried, which frightened Qiao Shu, and Qiao Shibin hurriedly went over to comfort her. Qiao Shu asked with a little worry, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" I'm not going to wake up, even if I become the way I used to be, it's not incurable. ”

Wang Mushi shook her head again and again, crying and said, "Dr. Miao came just now, he said...... There was nothing he could do about it. Then he threw himself into Qiao Shibin's arms and cried loudly, Qiao Shibin raised his head and tried to let the tears pour back into his eyes.

Qiao Shu suddenly sat there motionless, not crying, not laughing, not talking, which was very scary. Jiang Xirong shook Qiao Shu's body and asked her again and again what was wrong.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Shu finally spoke, at this time she was beautiful and smiling. "Teacher Jiang, do you remember the first time you taught me sketching?"

Without waiting for Jiang Xirong to answer, Qiao Shu continued to recall. "At that time, although I was cured, I still couldn't hold a pencil to draw, and my wrist was weak. You found two pieces of iron to hang on my wrists, and I stood in front of the drawing board with a pen for a whole day, and you stood beside me, accompanying me, pointing me, and sometimes singing to me to relieve my fatigue. Later, I practiced, and you told me that miracles happen to everyone, there is no impossibility, it is just a matter of time. ”

Recalling those days, it was joy and sorrow. After Qiao Shu finished the middle school exam, he began to learn to paint with Jiang Xirong, originally he started to learn writing from the first year of junior high school, but later found that Qiao Shu's brain supplement ability was extremely strong, so he wrote and painted to develop together.

Before this, Qiao Shu didn't have any foundation in painting, and he couldn't hold the pen firmly on the drawing board at all. Jiang Xirong was ruthless, just hanging an iron block under Qiao Shu's wrist to let her practice her wrist strength, standing in front of the drawing board with a pen, slowly learning to sketch, she was tired Jiang Xirong was next to her to encourage her and sing to her. Cishi can also produce high apprentices, and Qiao Shu's painting skills are becoming more and more exquisite.

Everyone was supposed to comfort Qiao Shu, but it became Qiao Shu to comfort everyone. "What if my life goes to zero, I will rebuild my Great Wall and restart my life."
