Chapter 20 The Grateful Man
Hip Rong University Hospital. Pathology Research Laboratory.
"Your body is still growing at an alarming rate, as if you're ......" Miyashita looked like she wanted to say something.
"Seems like what?" Li Yang did not lie on the hospital bed like a patient, but stood in front of the glass window in the room, seeing his blurred reflection on the glass.
In the reflection, a boy looks almost ten years old.
"There's no sign of stopping." Miyashita wasn't sure.
Li Yang opened his mouth and said: "In other words, I will continue to grow like this until I die of old age?" ”
"If your growth rate hasn't stopped tomorrow......" Gongxia didn't say any more, looking at Li Yang's back, his eyes showed a trace of unbearability.
This big boy did everything possible to get rid of Sadako's threat, but now he still can't escape death.
It's sad.
Li Yang didn't have a trace of sadness on his face, and turned around, "The police will leave it to you to deal with." ”
“…… Oh. Miyashita wanted to refuse, after all, it was a matter of deceiving the police.
But before he could say no, he had a terrible scene in the ward where two-year-old Li Yang stabbed Sadako's baby to death with scissors.
At the thought of this, his tongue trembled, and the words of refusal turned into words of promise.
"I'm leaving." Li Yang spoke, opened the door directly and walked out.
Miyaxia hurriedly spoke, but when the words came to his lips, the scene of Li Yang stabbing Sadako's baby to death resurfaced, he closed his mouth scruples, and looked at Li Yang's figure walking in front of the window glass.
Li Yang walked in the corridor of the hospital.
The corridor here is much brighter than the corridor of the hospital where Sadako delivered the baby before, and from time to time there are patients in wheelchairs and holding hanging bottles, walking by, and of course, there are also young and beautiful female nurses and angels in white.
But no matter who it was, they didn't see that Li Yang was a person who was going to die.
Because Li Yang really doesn't look like a person who wants to die.
On the contrary, he acted as if he was healthier than anyone else.
Some patients even cast envious glances at Li Yang, envious of his young and healthy body.
Isn't he "healthy" compared to these ignorant people?
Walking out of the hospital, standing at the door of the hospital, looking up, facing the warm sunshine, Li Yang actually yawned.
"Now that there is no threat from Sadako, I can finally sleep comfortably."
Drove home.
After changing his shoes and putting his coat on the hanger, Li Yang wanted to go back to the bedroom to sleep.
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, a small figure rushed out from within.
She obviously planned to rush out of Li Yang's leg by surprise, but obviously her psychological quality was not in place, she was very flustered, she didn't rush over, and she fell.
"Are you alright, Haruko?" Li Yang bent down and stretched out his hand to Yaozi, who was sitting on the ground.
Haruko screamed in fright and retreated again and again, "Don't ...... Don't kill me. ”
Li Yang retracted his hand a little helplessly, "How could I kill you?" ”
"Then why are you holding me? Please, let me go back, I won't tell anyone about you, I swear! ......" Haruko shouted, she really swore a poisonous oath, tears of fear swirled in her eyes, and with her now three or four years old, it was really pitiful.
Obviously, what happened during this time caused her great harm, and Li Yang was also equated with the terrifying Sadako in her eyes.
"My door was never locked." Li Yang suddenly said such a sentence.
Haruko was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at the doorknob, as if questioning.
Li Yang said again: "In the eyes of your family, you are dead, but now you are alive again, and you are still three or four years old, and you will grow until you are 17 years old, how do you explain these to your parents?" ”
"I'm ......" Haruko opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
She had never thought about it.
All she has been thinking about these days is how to escape from Li Yang's clutches.
"Here you go."
"What is this?" Haruko looked at the hundred dollars handed to her in front of her in distraction.
Li Yang gently put the money in her hand, "You can't walk back, right?" Your house is not close to my house, this is the taxi fare for you, and if you like it, buy some cheesecake to eat. ”
Hearing the cheesecake, Haruko couldn't help but think of the night of August 29th, when she happily ate the cheesecake, and sent the last bite of the leftover food in her mouth to Li Yang's mouth affectionately...... The wonderful memories were interrupted here.
Li Yang opened his body sideways, and the door behind him was open, just like that, in front of him.
Suddenly, Haruko felt a strong sense of shame rise in her heart, feeling that she was so ridiculous.
"Let's go early, it's hard to take a taxi if it's late." Li Yang said.
"Right...... I'm sorry! Yaozi got up from the ground, didn't dare to look at Li Yang's face, lowered her head deeply, and ran out from Li Yang's side, a line of crystal tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes and spilling onto the floor.
There was no fear in those tears, only shame!
Li Yang didn't take a look, closed the curtains, closed the door, got into bed, covered the quilt, and slept beautifully in the darkness without Sadako.
I slept until noon the next day.
I was still awakened by urine.
Li Yang got out of bed sleepily, walked to the toilet, lifted the toilet lid, faced the toilet, stretched his hands under him, and was about to shush, but he felt that the thing in his hand was much bigger than yesterday.
Only then did he realize that he was already a young man about eighteen years old.
"I guess in the afternoon, I will be able to go back to the way I am 25 years old." Li Yang muttered.
After urinating, Li Yang was already sleepy, and he didn't wash, so he took a bath directly.
"Bangbang." Halfway through the wash, there was a knock on the door.
Really pick the time.
Li Yang muttered a little dissatisfied, turned off the hot water, wiped his body with a bath towel a few times, and then walked out after wrapping around his waist and covering important parts.
"Who?" Li Yang asked as he opened the door.
"It's me."
Speaking of which, Reiko Asakawa couldn't go on, and looked at Li Yang's "unrestrained" appearance in a daze.
"Oh, it's you, come in." There was no surprise in Li Yang's tone, and he turned sideways, got out of the way, and invited Reiko Asakawa into the house.
Before Reiko Asakawa came, she had imagined countless scenes after meeting Li Yang, but she didn't expect it to be like this, and for a while, some didn't react, so she subconsciously walked into the house.
When she stood in the living room, she reacted and couldn't help asking, "You seem to know I'm coming?" ”
When she asked this, Reiko Asakawa looked at Li Yang generously and did not dodge, after all, she was thirty-one years old, so she was naturally not as shy as a girl.
"I just think you're going to come to me and ask for your stuff." Li Yang turned around and went into the bedroom, and when he came out again, he had a camera and a few photos in his hand.
Hand it to Reiko Asakawa.
"At that time, I was also forced to do so, if you want to sue me, I will confess my guilt."
If Li Yang dared to say this, he was sure that Reiko Asakawa would not sue him.
Of course Reiko Asakawa wouldn't sue Li Yang, she even wished that no third person would ever know about this matter, how could she sue herself?
She didn't hit Li Yang or scold Li Yang, and silently took the camera and photos.
Seeing this, Li Yang was a little surprised and said, "You are much calmer than I imagined." ”
"I already know everything from Dr. Miyashita." Reiko Asakawa said calmly.
There was a sense of pity in his calm tone.
Yes, it's pity, not anger.
Li Yang killed Sadako, saved everyone, and even said that he saved the entire human society, but in the end he still inevitably died, not only that, those people who were infected by the virus, those ignorant people who were still running around for life all day long, but they didn't thank him, and even except for Miyaxia and a few of himself, no one knew about the sacrifice Li Yang made?
Isn't that pitiful?
Looking at the eighteen-year-old boy who was dead in front of her, Reiko Asakawa suddenly had an urge to take him into her arms and comfort him.
Of course, she was not so impulsive, but she said gratefully, "Thank you." ”
You can't imagine what that thank you means.
This is not a casual thank you to the waiter when you eat in a restaurant, but it contains a life, and even the weight of family and relatives behind this life.
And every time she thinks about what her seven-year-old son will do after she dies, Reiko Asakawa's eyes unconsciously moisten.
Li Yang handed her a tissue.
"Thank you." Reiko Asakawa took the tissue and said thank you again.
Li Yang pointed to the photo in her hand absently, "You still check the number of photos, what if I have one or two in my possession?" ”
A hint of rosy appeared on Reiko Asakawa's face, "You wouldn't do such a thing?" ”
"Oh? You trust me so much? Li Yang had a teasing smile on his face.
Reiko Asakawa said as a matter of course: "This is natural, how can a person who can sacrifice so much without asking for anything in return do such a dirty thing." ”
"Don't say that, I'm like a hero." Li Yang couldn't bear it.
Reiko Asakawa nodded and said, "You are a hero, if you need to, I can write a report specifically for you to let the world know who saved them." ”
"Don't." Li Yang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Why?" Reiko Asakawa was puzzled.
Who doesn't like to be famous?
"If you really want to thank me, don't report on me." Li Yang said.
"But"
"No, but."
Li Yang's eyes rolled and he pointed to the kitchen with a smile, "If you really want to be grateful to me, please make me a lunch, I haven't eaten yet." ”
"This ......," Reiko Asakawa looked surprised.
"Embarrassed?" Li Yang asked,
Of course it's not embarrassing, it's just a meal, Reiko Asakawa just said in surprise: "This is too simple, right?" ”
She really can't believe that she repaid the life-saving kindness with one meal?
Even when she came, she prepared a sum of money in her bag, although it was not much, but it was also the limit of what she could take, but she didn't expect that what Li Yang wanted was just a meal.
Li Yang stretched out his hand and said helplessly: "For a person who is hungry and can't cook, one meal is really enough." ”
“…… All right. Reiko Asakawa put down her bag, put the camera and photos on the coffee table in the living room, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to the kitchen.
She didn't mention the fact that she brought the money, she felt that mentioning money to Li Yang was simply insulting.
"Thanks." Li Yang thanked Reiko Asakawa, who was busy in the kitchen, and turned to the bedroom to change her clothes.
People are generous, and he can't play hooligan, isn't it.
After a while, lunch was ready, a grilled fish, a pickled plum, a vegetable soup, plus white rice, don't ask for anything to match, Li Yang has never bought vegetables during the period when he was in charge, and it is fortunate to find a fish and vegetables in the freezer.
"It's too simple, I'd better invite you to a restaurant, right?" Reiko Asakawa bowed her head and said.
The grace of saving her life, people only ask for one meal, and she is so shabby, which makes her feel ashamed.
Seeing this, Li Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
was also rescued, Miyashita was afraid of himself, and Haruko, who he had been taking care of, fled even more fearfully, but it was Reiko Asakawa who was forced to take nude (harmonious) photos by herself, but now she is extremely grateful to herself.
Things in this world are really interesting.
Li Yang smiled, and suddenly wanted to drink some wine on a whim.
There are food, vegetables and women, of course he won't drink alone, so he asked Reiko Asakawa, "Do you know how to drink?" ”
"I can drink a little."
