Chapter III: Decisions
Xia Chen didn't want me to go to Kecheng just now, why did he change his mind so quickly? Does it have anything to do with that phone call, or is it ...... Fearful snow silk.
Dad looked up, surprised. "What are you doing in Kecheng, Xiaolin just came back, shouldn't he stay at home for two more days?"
Xia Chen smiled awkwardly, "Oh, it's because of ......" He looked at me and covered his face with one hand, obviously hiding his nervousness.
I think his mind is spinning fast, making up excuses. I feel a little complacent, this is probably the consequence of a liar, endlessly making up lies because of lies, and using countless excuses to cover up a loophole. I was puzzled when I thought about it, he had been lying and hiding why I trusted him so much before.
He finally spoke, "My friend has a disease that can cure Xiaofan, I think I should try it." ”
It's not a lie, and it matches what he's said before.
"What friend are you, what does he do?" Dad was obviously very suspicious of Xia Chen, this sentence was very palatable to me, and I now believe him and doubt him. Of course, the two are not contradictory, their respective focuses are different, what I believe in is his character, through his previous performance, he has no benefits to obtain, that is to say, he only relies on his own mood, or it can be said that he is doing these things with a sense of responsibility. Suspicion of him is due to the fear of the unknown, after all, we know too little, and it feels like any stupid decision will have irreparable consequences for yourself. Maybe that's not a smart idea, but I don't have a choice. In order to prevent myself from committing an act that I regretted, I decided to wait and see.
This decision was cowardly, and I curled up in my own world, hoping that someone who could save me, whether it was my father or Xia Chen.
"This friend is our classmate, but his grades are better, and now he works in bro, which is a medical organization, and I don't know what the specific content is, but he said that he developed this drug, and his condition is exactly the same as Xiaofan, right?"
Xia Chen set his eyes on me, and felt a wry smile in his heart in an instant, the choice he had just avoided was back, should I help him?
"Well...... he's a pretty powerful person." Puzzled and helpless, I still said this. Otherwise, the situation will get out of hand, and I'm afraid they'll fight.
Dad listened, didn't speak, and continued to eat.
I guess I can solve this problem with my own abilities. The bro is a biological research organization, and this still exists in the memory bank. As for the friend Xia Chen said, I think it should be the big cat I heard, so he should work in Bro.
Why didn't he tell the truth and tell the dangers of Snow Silk and the identity of his friend. How could a college student work in a bro, and Xia Chen had already admitted that he was not my classmate, so how could I have another classmate. I used to hide it from him because I was afraid that my family would be sad or afraid, but having a new medicine is not a bad thing, no one will be sad or bad because of it, why should he hide it from us. If it's a regular organization, a normal relationship, what is there to hide?
I was a little wary of Xia Chen, he shouldn't have noticed it, and thought that I would always help him.
Dad said that he would ask Uncle Qian for a while, and said thank you to Xia Chen, who looked flattered. It seems that my words have a lot of impact, whether Dad really believes us, or has other plans, who knows?
In short, the meal ended unhappily. The clue that was going to go, that is, Xia Chen, did not succeed, but encouraged us to go to Kecheng together, what is this for?
After eating, my father went to Xiaofan's house and told him about the situation. I went with him, leaving my mother and Xia Chen behind. Originally, Xia Chen was going to go, but I stopped him, and I hinted that I could deal with my dad and them, but in fact I just wanted to find out the situation.
Walking on the road, my father asked me if this classmate was credible, and my answer was of course very vague, neither affirming nor denying. I felt like I had to remember everything before deciding whether or not to leave it all to my dad. I should have the responsibility to take on the family crisis.
After seeing Xiaofan and Uncle Qian, my father explained the ins and outs of the matter very succinctly, of course, only he knew about them, and his tone revealed a deep distrust. At the end of the sentence, he also hung a sentence, "I know this opportunity is not easy to come by for Xiaofan, but you must be cautious." ”
Brother Xiaofan was also entangled, "Although Brother Xiaofan is sick, he still has brains, and this kind of thing should be decided by himself." Let's discuss it separately first, and you will discuss the hospitalization fee, the medicine fee and so on. We have something else to say. ”
I took the opportunity to support them, Brother Xiaofan did spend a lot of money in the past six months, although he ate some useless medicine.
I want to discuss with Brother Xiaofan about all the doubts about Xia Chen and me. Obviously, as far as I'm concerned, Brother Xiaofan is the smartest. He was also the first family member I thought of when I was in trouble. Although the two of us are just neighbors, we grew up together and are no different from our families.
"There's something to tell you." The atmosphere was mysterious, and Xiao Fan was also very curious to listen to me, "What's the matter?" ”
"I ...... Amnesia. ”
“…… Do you remember who I am? How is it possible, weren't you okay when we chatted yesterday. Don't be funny, there's still business to say. ”
"I didn't tease you, it's true. My memories of college are gone, and I don't even know where my college is. ”
"Kecheng, isn't it the place where Xia Chen is going to take us."
"No wonder."
"What's wrong, why don't you remember?"
"I don't know, but listening to Xia Chen's words, it seems that something has happened."
"What's the matter? Do you have any scattered memories that you don't have? ”
"In this way, I seem to have had a dream, and I was in the hospital after waking up, and then Xia Chen has been by my side."
"What is his relationship with you, is he a classmate?"
"He's not my classmate, but I don't know who he is."
"Then how did you ask him to bring you back and follow you all the way."
I shrugged and shook my head. "I don't know, as if it was the right thing to do, and I don't know why I trust him so much."
Xiao Fan was a little tired, sighed, and turned his head to the side, "You guy." ”
"Do you want to take a break?"
Xiao Fan shook his head gently, "What about your dream?" Tell me about your dreams. ”
"This ...... It's not very clear, it's a bit vague, and it's just a dream, I don't know if I can find something. ”
"Tell me about it."
"I'm in the water? It's not water, it's a very sticky thing, and it's a very crystalline red. I felt like I was enclosed in a box, a round box, with a net on the inner wall, as if it was glowing......"
"Running out of words?" He smiled happily, it was the first time I've seen him smile so normally since I got home. Usually that smile is a wry smile.
"I'm out of words, so I'll describe it here."
"And after that?"
"After that, it was blank, why, haven't heard enough?" I smiled, like a child who had just lied.
"You didn't make it up, did you?"
"No, but if you like to hear stories like this, I can keep making it up."
Xiao Fan smiled slightly, "Forget it." ”
"Brother Xiaofan, what kind of person is Xia Chen?"
"This, if you suddenly asked me, I have only met him twice......"
"What kind of person could it be! We have no relatives and no reason, why should he help us. ”
Dad and Uncle Qian suddenly came in, and it seemed that they had reached a consensus. As for the content of their conversation, it is nothing more than smashing pots and selling iron to cure Xiaofan's illness, I have heard this passage several times, and it has been several times in just a few days at home. This time, you don't have to listen to it, you can reproduce the scene. The difference is that Dad must have instilled in Uncle Qian that he couldn't believe Xia Chen's words.
"Won't Xiao Lin graduate in less than a year, besides, Xiao Lin earned a lot of money from part-time work when he was in school, and he sent it home. When she graduates and finds a job, can't she also earn money? You can recuperate with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about the rest! ”
Dad's words are really impassioned, these old men don't know what they're doing, the more they say this, the more uncomfortable it is, it's better not to say it. I looked at Xiao Fan's face, and he was really smiling very reluctantly.
But it's okay.,It's because of them that Xiaofan will last until today.。
"Xiaofan, what do you think, to go or not to go?"
Brother Xiaofan fell into contemplation again, my nerves were passing rapidly, but unfortunately I hadn't come to a conclusion yet.
"You can go and try it. I can understand how the medicine works and then decide whether to use it or not. ”
"I think it's feasible, pass!" I put my hands up and nodded my head in agreement, a stark contrast to the atmosphere of the room. I don't really care.,Xiaofan's world is too lacking in sunshine.,It's okay to be forced to review homework.,It's forced to work.,Even if you're sick...... There has to be something cheerful.
Since it's Brother Xiaofan's own decision, I'll try to make it happen.
"Still no, I'm afraid you'll be deceived, if you ......, then our efforts will be in vain."
"I know, I'll be careful, trust me, Dad." This was followed by a smile, full of confidence. Brother Xiaofan's smile is different from Xia Chen, although there is not so much sunshine, but it is very gentle, which makes people feel ...... Warm.
"I believe him." I'll look at Xiaofan and Uncle Qian. "Uncle Qian, it's not in vain that you force him to study every day, Xiaofan has also learned a lot of things, and he will use it! That's your credit too. ”
Guess what I saw? Uncle Qian's smile, this smile is really rare! Is it praised by me? I seem a little embarrassed.
Dad was silent, so I would take it as a default.
Uncle Qian finally relented, "It's okay, let's try it, there is no way to go on like this." ”
"That means you can go." My expression should be irrepressible joy, I am happy for him, happy for his hope.
"Yes." His face was still the same gentle, warm smile.
