(25) The first time so powerless
The ward was so quiet that only the sound of sleeping Cheng Zexin's even breathing could be heard, Fu Chengwen and I sneaked in, sat on the edge of the bed together, and looked at Cheng Zexin quietly.
It didn't take long for all the remaining potions in the vial to be filled. Fu Chengwen went out and called the nurse, and I gently shook Cheng Zexin to wake her up from her sleep.
"Xiaobai, you're here, I'm finally seeing you, it's good."
Cheng Zexin's voice carried a sickly tenderness, and his eyes were filled with tears of grievance, as if we hadn't met for centuries. I started crying at Cheng Zexin as soon as I couldn't control it, and when Fu Chengwen led the nurse sister back, the two of us were crying breathlessly. Seeing the two of us like this, she smiled at the two of us, skillfully pulled out the needle, and then comforted the two of us while pressing Cheng Zexin's needle:
"Yo, these two little girls are really better than the other, what are you crying about, it's going to be ugly if you cry all the time. Listen to my sister and stop crying. You two don't have to worry, this disease is not difficult to treat, and it will only take half a month at most, and you can be discharged from the hospital. ”
The nurse's voice was very gentle, and I kept nodding at the nurse. However, Cheng Zexin and I both knew in our hearts that the reason why we cried like this was not her illness at all.
It's Cao Yunxiao.
I forced myself to stop my tears, and at the same time thought about how to get the nurse sister out of here quickly, so that Cheng Zexin and I could have more personal space to talk about the affairs between the two girls. But before I could list the alternatives, Cheng Zexin's aunt pushed open the door of the ward with a lunch box.
"Aunt Wen, you're here."
"Eh, Aunt Wen is here to bring you food."
As soon as Cheng Zexin saw Aunt Wen coming in, he immediately greeted him first. As soon as the nurse sister saw that an adult was coming, she asked Aunt Wen a few words, and then returned to the nurse's station.
Aunt Wen didn't expect the two of us to be here, and after the nurse sister left, she immediately said to me and Fu Chengwen cordially:
"You two children have come to see Zexin again, hey, it's good that Zexin can have friends like the two of you."
"Zexin is my best friend, I must be good to her."
After listening to Aunt Wen's words, I wiped a handful of tears and said this to Aunt Wen very firmly. Aunt Wen touched my head with a smile and said to me:
"What a good girl, just right, I made chicken soup for Zexin today, you two came over as soon as school ended, then you must not have eaten, come and eat with Zexin."
Aunt Wen began to prepare dinner for us as she spoke, and I hurriedly waved my hand at her and declined her invitation.
"No need Aunt Wen, the two of us are here to see Zexin, let's go back, you don't have to bother to take care of the two of us." I'll come over when I'm fine, and I'll definitely have a chance to eat your meals. Zexin, you have a good meal, Fu Chengwen and I will go back first, and we will come back tomorrow. ”
After saying these words, I took Fu Chengwen and escaped from the ward in a panic. After entering the elevator, I suddenly found that Fu Chengwen was looking at me with a very strange gaze.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that, what's on my face?"
As I spoke, I shone my face into the reflective part of the elevator, trying to see if there was something wrong with me. Fu Chengwen continued to look at me and explained to me in a puzzled tone:
"I'm just thinking, you actually talked so much to Aunt Wen just now, are you possessed by something."
Hearing this explanation, I glared at Fu Chengwen and replied to him viciously:
"Are you when you're reading horror novels? Also possessed, attached to a ghost. ”
"yes, it's a ghost."
"You're sick, Fu Chengwen! Now is the age of science, we must believe in science, not engage in feudal superstition! ”
"So you really haven't noticed that someone like you, who is used to saying just a few words, just said a lot of things in one breath?"
"Huh?"
As soon as Fu Chengwen said this, I really reacted, and what he said seemed to be the truth. I, the person who is most afraid of communicating with strangers, can say so much in one breath to someone I have only met once. Such a scene is already very weird just thinking about it, and even I think it is incredible, let alone Fu Chengwen, who witnessed the whole process.
So his reaction is understandable.
But I was absolutely not possessed!
Just as I was wondering what had just happened, the elevator went up to the first floor. After Fu Chengwen and I got out of the elevator, I explained to Fu Chengwen with little confidence:
"It's impossible to possess a body, I think I'm probably too nervous, I feel like my hands are still a little numb now."
"If that's the case, it's good to be nervous a few more times."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll still be liked."
"Fu Chengwen, stay away from me! Or I'll kill you!" ”
"If you can beat me, you're good."
"Ahh
I was almost so angry with Fu Chengwen that I vomited blood, but seeing that it was already dark now, and I didn't seem to have the money to take a taxi home, I had to honestly follow him to take the bus.
After I got home, my mother asked me if Cheng Zexin's parents were not there, and I directly replied "no", and then my mother started the "crusade mode" again, nagging my dad about how irresponsible Cheng Zexin's parents were.
For the first time in my life, I felt that my mother's nagging was so reasonable, so I finished eating smoothly in this nagging, finished my homework step by step, and then lay down on the bed, waiting for Cao Yunxiao to call me.
As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the phone rang punctually.
"Xiaobai, you're okay today."
"I'm fine."
"What about Zexin, how is she?"
"The doctor said that the condition is very stable, and he can be discharged from the hospital in half a month at the latest."
"Well, that's good."
There was once again a terrible silence on both ends of the line, and then we both let out a long sigh at the same time.
It's only been two days, so why did so many things happen all of a sudden?
I was lying in the dark, feeling that my heart was really a little chaotic, so I said to Cao Yunxiao on the other end of the phone:
"If you don't have anything to say, just hang up."
"Wait a minute, Xiaobai, have you also found a problem at Cheng Zexin's house?"
It's obviously a question sentence, but Cao Yunxiao is so sure when he says it. I felt my nose sour, so I let out a soft "um".
"I found out about this situation very early, so I took care of Cheng Zexin so much since I was a child. Don't think about what you can change, believe me, if you could change, you would have changed a long time ago. You ......"
"I know, I can't do anything."
