I sat alone in a chair in the long, dark and narrow hallway of the hospital.

Shen Yu, who was in severe shock, was now in emergency rescue at the end of the corridor, where the three letters "ICU" were lit up with cold lights.

I leaned back in my seat weakly, my eyes looked at the three letters, I wished that the two doors would open in the next second, Shen Yu would walk out of the door with a straight face, and then glanced at me, and said with that usual tone of contempt—

"What are you doing here? - Let's go, go with me to do my hair! ”

But she won't come out in the next second, and she can't come out in the next second.

There was a dead silence in the corridor, as silent as a lifeless planet from ancient times.

Hurried footsteps ran from the elevator, and I saw Lin Ying's anxious face.

"Hey, whose child are you?" The nurse on duty at the top of the stairs stopped her, probably thinking that she had a young face.

"The old lady is not a child, the old lady is a policeman!" She pulled out her police ID card and said viciously.

The nurse was stunned and quickly got out of the way.

"How is she?" She rushed to me and asked me.

I looked at her, but I didn't have the strength to answer, and I didn't want to.

"Are you alright?" She hesitated, but still raised her hand and touched my forehead.

Her fingertips were cold and trembling, but I didn't have the strength to answer her questions because I felt like my bones were being drained.

Lin Ying had a worried look on her face, she put her palm on my forehead, and touched her own.

"You speak! Stakes! ”

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't want to speak. I saw tears glistening in her sockets and she grabbed my hand.

"It's all bad to blame me, I didn't listen to Shen Yu's words, and I didn't expect such a big situation to catch a thief, I'm sorry Shen Yu, I'm sorry for you......"

"I don't blame you, I didn't protect her." I broke away with a hand, patted her on the shoulder, and finally said it with difficulty.

Two lines of tears flowed out of Lin Ying's eyes, and she suddenly hugged me as if comforting, and forced herself to sob.

"It really has nothing to do with you, no one can think of it." I comforted her by saying that she hugged my dislocated right shoulder, and I throbbed in pain.

At this time, the door of the ICU creaked open, and Lin Ying quickly let go of me and stood up, turning her head to wipe the tears on her face. I quickly pinched my shoulder so that the pain was not so severe.

A doctor with a mask walked up to me.

"Who is Shen Yu's family?" He asked.

I raised my hand a little hesitantly.

"Her parents are unknown, they don't have contact information — I, I'm her boyfriend."

"Oh, yes. The injured are no longer in danger of life. The doctor said calmly.

"Great!" I almost jumped up and hugged him and kissed him, and in a fit of excitement, I pulled my injured shoulder again.

"But," the doctor continued, pointing to her head, "her brain has been badly damaged, and she is still in a coma—and probably will continue to be so......

"What do you mean?!"

"I mean, there's a chance she'll never wake up again...... "The doctor took off his mask and nodded slightly at me, as if to apologize.

"You're saying there's a chance she'll turn into a vegetative state?" Lin Ying asked.

"Well, from the current point of view, the prognosis is likely to be PVS status."

"Will she wake up? I read reports that if you keep calling your name by the bedside every day, you will wake up after a long time! I asked, taking the doctor's hand.

"This - modern medicine does not have enough technology to be able to speculate. Perhaps. The doctor tapped me on the shoulder and walked forward. I had no choice but to follow him.

"That is, is this possible?" I asked.

"Yes, the possibility of waking up cannot be completely ruled out." He spoke quickly. I know that he is perfunctory to me, no, not perfunctory, but to comfort me.

"And how long do you think it will take to wake her up?" I continued to ask.

"This, we don't know, maybe she will stay asleep, maybe she will wake up in a year, maybe a month or two, maybe tomorrow, it's all possible, and we can't be sure." The doctor walked briskly to the elevator room, where an elevator was waiting, and he hurried in, but I was still holding on to his white coat.

Does that have anything to do with the frequency of calls? What if I kept calling her name every day......"

The sound of an alarm came from the elevator.

"Words!" Lin Ying ran over and dragged me away, then bowed apologetically to the doctor and said, "He's a little emotional, he's disturbing you." ”

"It's okay, understandable. In fact, in this case, the most painful are the relatives, after all, the patient himself can't feel anything. The doctor pressed the elevator and bowed slightly.

I saw the elevator door closed, and his figure disappeared into the gap of the electric door, just like the figure of the man who snuggled up to me in the cabinet that day, and saw through the gap in the cabinet door.

"Cheer up!" Lin Ying stretched out her hand to help me, "If Shen Yu wakes up, she doesn't want to see you like this cramp and broken bones!" And you need treatment now! Otherwise, your arm will be ruined! ”

I looked at Lin Ying, and her face was as sad as mine.

I paused and burst into tears.

"Lin Ying, Lin Ying, Shen Yu really can't wake up again?!"

......

Shen Yu has been in the ICU for seven days.

Since I couldn't visit, I had to wait for her in the hallway every day.

Fortunately, my shoulder dislocation was not particularly serious, and the doctor hung a thin sling on me after breaking it back, which was a little inconvenient to my life, but it had little impact.

Lin Ying also often came to accompany me, although she was very busy, she would still bring food and drink, and sit with me silently for a while.

Shi Chong and Xiaoyu also came twice, and the two of them, who usually like to talk to each other, sat silently with me for half an hour without saying a word.

Of course, colleagues also came to visit, and that day the editor-in-chief brought Lao Zheng and Xin Xiaoruo over, and Lao Zheng awkwardly handed me a bouquet of flowers.

The editor-in-chief, who has always looked like a weasel in my eyes, was so sad that he wiped his tears when he saw that I was thin and thin.

"Xiao Yan, there is such a big matter, why don't you tell us? I heard you were also hit, are you okay? Are there any internal injuries? ”

"It's alright, editor-in-chief." I said to him.

"Alas, you should have a good rest during this time, recuperate well, and spend time with your family."

"Thank you, editor-in-chief."

"In fact, you are the most honest and down-to-earth person in the company, and everyone knows it." He thought for a moment and said, "However, everyone is afraid of difficulties, they are all afraid, and they are all lazy. If there's a thankless task, I'm going to send it to someone else, and they'll argue with me, and maybe they'll even fix me behind my back—only you won't, so it's all lost to you......

"You are a decent man, and over the years, you have shared a lot of things for the company. I helped you take two and a half months of paid leave, and you have a good rest during this time. ”

He stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and said.

"Oh, the project recorded in the rare book, Xiao Ruo took the initiative to help you follow."

"Thank you, Xiaoruo." I stood up and saw them off.

"Silly fork, rest well!" Xin Xiaoruo still didn't have any good words in his mouth, but it didn't sound offensive.

Wen Tingxu, an old classmate, also came once, and he couldn't help but say that he forced a bank card into me.

"I don't want this." I say.

"Dude! You're in need of money, you know! Hospitalization, rehabilitation after discharge, all need money! ”

"I still have savings, and after spending my savings, I can still sell the house, and the house was bought for our marriage anyway."

"You're crazy! Is she going to wake up? Wake up, you need a house to support her! Take it! Take it! ”

He forced the card into my pocket, and I shoved it back into his pocket.

"You're out of the way with me now." He sighed and said, "Do you think my personality has changed after returning to China?" ”

"Sort of." I say.

He fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a cigarette and tried to light it, probably remembering that it was a hospital, so he didn't take out a lighter, just held the cigarette in his hand.

"My personality hasn't changed, it's the same as before. The way I am now, I'm acting. ”

"What?" I looked at him.

"When I went abroad, I realized that it was actually the same as at home. Although the things I care about may be different, people like me who have IQ and no emotional intelligence still can't move an inch. Later, I thought that if I want to succeed and become a master, I can't get mixed up with my original state of arrogance. But I couldn't change my personality, but I suddenly thought of a way. ”

"How?"

"Acting. Treat life as a grand and long drama - are the characters you see on TV all actors in their true colors? No, it's all acting, and what I want to do is to act longer, longer, and more professional than them, after all, in this play, whether it is the screenwriter, director, producer, actor, makeup artist, sound engineer, I am the only one. So in the second year, I took another major in drama acting. ”

"Really? You mean to say that you're acting every day. ”

"Yes, it's actually not that difficult to act, and it doesn't take much effort to get used to acting - I opened a company to get financing, my head is one factor, and my acting skills are another."

He stood up with a wry smile, as if he was about to leave, but slipped the bank card into my pocket before I was noticing, and ran down the stairs with a thud.

"Don't come along!" He turned back to me as he ran, "Come with me and I'll smash you into a flat surface!" ”

"Then I'll jam your door tomorrow!" I shouted at him.

"Fuck off! If you want to break up, you have to try! He scolded and ran away.
