Chapter Seventy-Eight
Yin Lele waved his hand, turned around and pushed the wheelchair inside. She didn't see Mi Cheng's tears when she broke the embankment, and Mi Cheng didn't see her biting her lip and holding back her tears.
When we are young, we all do things wrong, but we don't necessarily have the courage to say sorry. If you understand my heart, then let me go before the tears fall, leaving each other with the last decency.
At night, the hospital is quieter, the cold incandescent light in the long, quiet corridor pushes away the fear, and the sound of the rapid turning of the wheelchair rushes all the way from the corner room to the operating room.
Yin Lele cardiac arrest emergency rescue.
At the top of the stairs there was a drunken man, holding a rag doll in his left hand and a bottle of wine in his right. In the end, I got drunk and dizzy, stumbled and didn't know where I went, and the rag doll also landed in an unknown dark corner.
Cheng Xi sat at the door of the operating room, and there was no trace of anger in his empty eyes. He rubbed his hands uneasily, the shrill sound echoing in his ears.
When he saw the pale-faced Yin Lele lying there motionless, at that moment, he finally smelled death.
It was the smell of the spilled disinfectant mixed with the fragrance of the girl's hair, and he hugged her and tried to call her name, "Yin Lele!" Yin Lele! You can't die, you come back to life! You open your eyes and look at me... You're alive! ”
Nurses and doctors rushed in and quickly sent Yin Lele to the operating room for rescue.
Time passed little by little in a panicked breath, and Cheng Xi felt that this was the first time in his life that it was such a long and cold night.
Liao Yanxiang hurried over, with a random coat on her body, her hair scattered, and slippers.
At this moment, Cheng Xi is extremely sober, Liao Yanxiang is not here for Yin Lele, she is afraid that Yin Lele will really not wake up, and something will happen to her.
However, he really didn't have the courage to face Liao Yanxiang, not to mention that Yin Lele's life and death were unknown now. shook hands with his stepmother and said this kind of thing, Cheng Xi asked himself if he couldn't do it at his current age.
"If your dad saw you like this, did you think about how disappointed he would be?" Liao Yanxiang was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
This is not a black-and-white world, and the people who live in this world are not black-and-white.
Cheng Xi turned his head and said awkwardly: "Anyway, no matter what I do, you will not be satisfied." ”
He knew he wasn't a kid they were happy with, and he knew he couldn't be that kid no matter what, so they kept going on and wouldn't back down.
Liao Yanxiang smoked at the corner of the stairs, and the lights in the emergency room finally went out with a "pop".
The doctor and nurse came out of it, and Cheng Xi immediately rushed up and asked, "How is it?" Is she still alive? ”
The older doctor motioned for him to be quiet, "Don't worry, the patient has been rescued, and I will observe it again tonight." ”
The stone that had been hanging in Cheng Xi's heart finally fell to the ground with the doctor's words. Liao Yanxiang next to him also breathed a sigh of relief. walked over and patted Cheng Xi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, rest early, you fell, but no one came to take care of her." ”
After the ups and downs, Cheng Xi only felt paralyzed and had no strength. He collapsed into his chair exhausted, huddled tightly together, his eyes full of exhaustion and helplessness.
Liao Yanxiang sighed and was about to leave, but heard Cheng Xi behind him say, "Why are you doing this?" ”
She turned to look at him with a puzzled face, only to hear Cheng Xi say again: "Why did you pay all the medical expenses without telling me?" Why do you want to come here in the middle of the night? ”
"You already know?" Liao Yanxiang looked at the dark sky outside the window, there was not a single star, it seems that tomorrow will not be a good weather.
"Don't think about it, I didn't pay for Yin Lele's medical bills for other reasons, and I won't feel guilty about her. It's just that because you're still young, your dad gave you to me before he left the country to take good care of you, and I just felt like I should do it. ”
Cheng Xi really didn't understand, "But you were so opposed to me being with her before, why?" ”
In the face of his questioning, Liao Yanxiang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, without a trace of panic. "Do you know how much money his alcoholic father lost in my nightclub? He knows the relationship between you and Yin Lele, so he comes to me every once in a while to mess around, in order not to affect you and my own business, I only have Yin Lele to leave you. ”
She said lightly, as if she had nothing to do with herself.
Cheng Xi had mixed feelings in his heart, and when Liao Yanxiang spread out the truth of her facts in front of him little by little, he didn't want to accept it.
Because he had thought of a thousand very complex reasons, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
Did Liao Yanxiang do something wrong? She is just a woman, in charge of such a big nightclub, that kind of mixed place is Cheng Xi's discouragement. In the matter of Yin Lele, she can indeed say that she has done her best.
There was no object to blame, and Cheng Xi suddenly fell into confusion.
This night, it's too long. It grew so long that some things took turns in these few hours, and some lives were pulled back at the Ghost Gate, and he suddenly didn't know how to face Liao Yanxiang in the future.
When the sky was bright, Yin Lele woke up. When she saw Cheng Xi lying on her stomach at the head of the bed, her nose was sore, and tears fell like this.
In fact, she didn't really like Cheng Xi, she just wanted to get close to this teenager, and the sunshine and cheerfulness on his body was what she dreamed of. Pity... One wrong step, one wrong step, and the point where you can't turn back to the point where you can't turn back are all self-inflicted.
But there are no ifs in this world, and it's already too late.
Sensing Yin Lele's movements, Cheng Xi raised his head, his neck was so sore that it seemed to be broken.
"Wake up, how do you feel?"
Yin Lele was covered in tubes with various instruments, and his face under the oxygen mask was as pale as paper. She moved her lips with difficulty, her voice hoarse, "I... What happened last night? ”
Thinking of last night's thrilling, Cheng Xi couldn't help but shudder. "It's okay, let's get some rest."
Although Yin Lele didn't know what happened last night, she knew that she must be one step away from saying goodbye to this world, otherwise Cheng Xi's eyes would not be so red.
In fact, if you can leave silently in your sleep, it can be regarded as God favoring you.
It's too much trouble to say goodbye to this kind of thing, and everyone is wiping their tears, as if there is nothing to be happy about in this world. She has shed too many tears in her life, and she doesn't think that her friends and relatives around her are crying when she dies.
"Cheng Xi, I'm sorry."
Yin Lele's tears entered the pillow from the corner of her eyes, and her hand tightly grasped Cheng Xi's clothes, as if she had exhausted all her strength to say this.
This belated apology, this sentence of "I'm sorry", is what Yin Lele has always wanted to say but didn't have the courage to say.
"I'm just not reconciled, why can you have so many friends and I don't. I want to ruin the friendship between you and them, I want you to experience what it's like to be abandoned..."
She was more difficult than the other, Cheng Xi asked her not to say any more, and the tears of the two people were like opening the floodgates and releasing water.
When Lin You and Xie Zijin walked into the ward with breakfast, they saw such a picture.
The two of them glanced at each other and turned around to go out with a tacit understanding.
In the corridor, Lin You was eating xiaolongbao and asked, "Xie Zijin, in fact, human life is very fragile, right?" ”
Xie Zijin nodded, in the face of fate, all lives are fragile.
At first, Lin You couldn't get used to the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital, but then he ran here every day, and he got used to it.
When Yin Lele's mother appeared at the end of the corridor, Lin You almost jumped up with a cheer.
"Auntie, you're here!"
The middle-aged woman's gray hair was stained with dew, and she changed into more decent clothes, and her hair was neatly combed and tied back.
She carried an old thermos cup, handed it to Lin You and said, "I won't go in yet, can you send this Aunt in for you?" ”
Lin You carried something, tried to squeeze out a smile, and entered the ward softly.
"Good morning! It's time for breakfast. She shook the things in her hand, and then handed them to Cheng Xi.
The fine rice porridge was filled with minced meat, and the fragrance filled the entire ward and suppressed the unpleasant smell of disinfectant water.
Yin Lele's face changed after only one sip, she suddenly raised her head and asked in disbelief, "This is what my mother did?" ”
Even if he has been away from his mother for more than ten years, he still can't forget the porridge she boiled. Putting sugar in the meat porridge is her favorite taste when she was a child, and it is the taste that she has been dreaming of for more than ten years, how can she forget it?
Lin You nodded, and heard the door of the ward "click" open. Yin Lele's mother walked in from outside, trying to lower her head and not dare to look at Yin Lele.
Lin You gave Cheng Xi a look, and the two of them put away their things and quietly walked out of the room.
No matter how time changes, no matter how bad things get, the mother-daughter relationship that blood is thicker than water cannot change.
Yin Lele half leaned on the bed, his eyes gradually blurred. She thought about this face day and night, and chased her for a long way in her dreams.
"Mom..."
I hadn't heard this word for too long, and Yin Lele felt that it was almost a century away.
"Lele, my daughter, mom is sorry for you!" After speaking, she jumped up and hugged Yin Lele and cried.
If it weren't for her timidity, if she hadn't followed the wrong person in the first place, her daughter wouldn't be like this.
Yin Lele has shed too many tears in the past few days, and he can't cry anymore. She closed her eyes and felt her mother's embrace, so familiar, so warm.
It was a warmth that she couldn't think of before, but now she can feel it so really. She suddenly felt that God had made herself sick, perhaps she was extra gracious.
Three days later, the college entrance examination ended.
Lu Liu, they came to the hospital to visit Yin Lele and sang to her on the lawn of the hospital with musical instruments.
The breeze blew, and the onlookers circled and circled.
