268. Shuffle
I heard Abble Liu's voice a lot in the rest of the time, and I always heard him calling me when my mind sank, and then I did it one by one according to his instructions. If someone's voice can soothe people's hearts, then this person is the one I hear.
As I first woke up, the blurry image became clearer and clearer as I opened my eyes, and I began to see what Abble looked like. He was young and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, but the shallow forehead lines on his forehead suggested that he was not as young as he appeared, and it was tentatively estimated that he should be over thirty-five years old. His hair is three or seven points, he is very neatly groomed every time he sees it, he often wears a dark blue shirt, the whole silhouette is very three-dimensional, but the eyes behind the glasses are very soft, which makes people look at him very comfortably, and will not produce any psychological rejection.
I didn't see the person I spoke to that day again, but probably knew I was in a private nursing home and the room was separate. In addition to Abble's daily visits to talk to me, there is also a young nurse who takes care of me, her name is Wenwen.
People always get along with each other for a long time and become friends, and that's the case with Abble. He told me not to think of him as a psychiatrist, but as a most ordinary friend. But when I could speak, the first thing I asked him was: What disease do I have? He took off his glasses at that time, revealing the eyes that had been hidden behind the glasses and said to me: You are not sick, but you need me to help you clear your mind.
It's been more than a month since I first woke up, and I've been able to walk around with Wenwen's help. The sun was shining outside on this day, and Wenwen proposed to go to the garden to sit, but I didn't object.
But not long after I sat down, Abble walked over with a kind face, and after he sat down next to me, he asked Wenwen to go about other things first. Instead, he said to me, "Xiao Chang, you should smell this sunshine." β
"Smell?" There was a discussion about what he should call me, and at first he wanted to call me "Xiao Yuan", but I was intuitively resistant to it, so he changed it to "Xiao Chang", which was awkward at first, but then he got used to it.
Abble smiled and said, "yes, it's smell." Don't you think sunlight smells too? It's like if you put the quilt in the sun for a day, you must smell the quilt differently than usual. β
It seems like common sense in life, and it is.
I couldn't help but smile quietly, and my eyes followed my face to hear him ask, "Are there any more nightmares lately?" I shook my head and replied: "I sleep more steadily, but I don't know why every time I wake up, I feel awake, but I seem to be pressed by something, and I always have to sleep for another half an hour to open my eyes." β
"Oh? How long has this been going on? β
I thought about it for a moment: "It's just when I remember things, every day, and sometimes it's like this for naps." β
"Do you have any special feelings during that half-hour? What's going on in your head at the time? β
"In the brain...... It's very heavy, like a dull pain in the head after sleeping for a long time, it feels like falling into an abyss, constantly sinking, constantly sinking...... It was a bottomless black hole, and all the eyes could see was pitch black, and there was no difference between opening and closing the eyes, so they slowly closed their eyes. "The more I spoke, the lower my head became, as if I was muttering mechanically.
The gentle voice in his ear drilled into his eardrums: "Come, Xiao Chang, tell me that you are really suppressed for half an hour and can't wake up?" β
"It's true."
"And what did you see in that half-hour?"
"I saw a bottomless black hole, far away, and I stretched out my hand a little in the middle, and a white vortex appeared in the darkness."
There was a pause, and after a few seconds, I heard Wen Xu's voice ask again, "What does the whirlpool look like?" β
I replied mechanically, "Vortex, it's like... A drop of water drops into the river, and from the middle of the loop turns out ripples, circle, and circle, bigger and bigger. β
This time, there was silence for a long time, and I slowly raised my head with my fingers bent. Slightly sideways to look at the quiet face beside him, the glasses were slightly reflected after being exposed to the sun, and the long eyelashes were faintly shaking.
###
The next day, I came out of the nursing home and was picked up by a man named He.
Abble wasn't there, Wenwen helped me into the car, but she didn't come up, whispered a few words to the person in the driver's seat and left. I watched her back and didn't look back until I was gone, but I met the gaze in the front rearview mirror.
His eyes were gentle, different from the Abble's, a warm feeling. I smiled at him, and he started the car and said, "Don't you ask why I'm here to pick you up?" β
I tilted my head and replied, "Abble has already told me, you are my friend, and you will take me to a familiar place to recuperate, which will help me recover." He said your name is He, did I call you that before? β
He was silent and said clearly: "He is the name that my friends call me at work, my Chinese name is He Zhixu, you can call me by my name directly." I'm taking you to a cafΓ© now, which I owned, and you've worked there before. I've asked Abble about your physical condition, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, you might as well stay in the cafΓ© for a while. β
I nodded, Abble had already explained this to me.
When the car stopped, I poked my head out of the window and looked at the signβtime, a very literary name.
There are a few tables of customers sitting in the coffee shop, ordering a cup of coffee in front of them, holding a book and burying their heads in reading, which is very leisurely. When a girl saw me, she came running over and said in surprise, "Alice, He said you came back today, and it's true." I smiled at her, and after a few sentences, I sent her to work, and then led me to the back room.
He opened a door first, stood at the door and said to me: "This used to be a dormitory, I asked people to change the design a while ago, you live here for the time being." There's a box there, something you left over from when you used to live in the dorm. β
Then he led me to the second door, which was a lounge that resembled an office space. As soon as I sat down on the couch, he lifted the sleeves of his light blue shirt and started grinding coffee beans. Soon, a cup of fragrant coffee was placed on the coffee table in front of me, I looked at him in a slight stunned manner, and subconsciously said, "I haven't drunk coffee before, Abble doesn't know if I will agree." β
He smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, I won't sue him, this is the reception coffee that welcomes you back to 'Time', latte, whole sugar, it is the flavor you like, and it is also the cup you used before." β
I hesitated for a second, then picked up the white cup on the table and took a sip to my lips, a sweet and bitter taste spread between my lips and teeth, and my eyebrows immediately loosened. It turns out that there is a kind of taste that can combine bitter and sweet, and I have two of the five flavors in the world, or this ultimate taste, I really earned it.
The cup is not big, only half a cup is left after a few sips, and when I saw him bring another cup to a full one, I couldn't help asking, "Is it for me too?" He raised his eyebrows, "What?" Still want to drink? I nodded honestly, drank all the contents of my glass, and stared at the cup in his hand.
I saw him laugh and pass the cup over, but he said, "But I have to warn you, the taste is not the same." β
It's not just that the taste is different, it's just too bitter. I took a sip, and suddenly my whole face was wrinkled bitterly, and I hurriedly threw the cup on the coffee table, but unexpectedly, the force was fierce, and the coffee in the cup splashed all over him. Coffee stains immediately appeared on the light blue shirt, and I was stunned.
He Zhixu looked down at the embarrassment on his body, and teased me with a wry smile: "Are you angry with coffee or with me?" I warn you that it tastes different. β
I looked down in a bit of a panic, wrinkled my fingers and stumbled, "I'm not... Deliberately, I didn't expect ... So bitter... So accidentally splashed on you. β
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to tease you. You wait here for me, I'll go change my shirt. β
Seeing him get up and walk to the wine cabinet, he pushed the wine cabinet to the side only to find that there was a rest room inside, and this compartment was cleverly done. Soon he came out in a clean suit and I was tinkering with that coffee maker when I heard him ask, "What are you doing?" β
Without raising his head, he replied, "I'll spill your coffee and make you a new cup." β
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Will you?" I paused in my hand and tilted my head blankly: "Didn't you say that I worked here?" Why can't I even remember the procedure for making coffee? He pushed me to his side, and while taking over the rest of the work, he said: "You didn't participate in brewing coffee before, even if you have an operation, it is the simple machine control outside, and I have a private one, and you can't do it without a little bit of technology." But if you want to learn, I can teach you that the first and most important step in coffee must be to grind the beans finely, this living machine can certainly do, but the taste of manual will be better. β
I looked at him in amazement: "You also grinded that coffee powder just now?" So fast? β
He laughed, reached out and rubbed my head lightly, "Silly! How can it be sharpened in such a short time, and it will be pre-ground there before I go to pick you up. "I touched the back of my head, and it was a bit funny.
The tutorial on making coffee did not last, because someone came to look for me outside the door, He Zhixu put down the grinding tool in his hand and took me back to the next room, and told me to rest before leaving, and wait for him to come back and have lunch together.
But he didn't come back at noon, and only asked the girl named Lisa to buy me food. Recently, I've developed the habit of taking a nap, so I lie down in bed after eating, and when I wake up, I don't know what time it is, so I push the door and walk out.
Business is much better in the afternoon than in the morning. There were elites in straight suits, as well as couples, and their eyes swept over a certain place and found an empty area, and they couldn't help but walk over slowly. When I got closer, I saw that there were many paintings on the wall, and each painting was very familiar, because I painted it. This is a corner that time has opened up for me, and even there are drawing papers and brushes on the table.
I sat down, picked up the pen skillfully, but paused on the paper for a long time and did not draw anything.
"Why don't you paint?" A warm voice overhead asked.
