Chapter Seventy-Three: Never Leave
Xiao Jiayu told us that Guo Yan used to be a publishing editor, and many times he stayed up late at night to review manuscripts, and sitting for a long time caused Guo Yan's lumbar spine to protrude, and he often had a sore back and couldn't stand up, so Xiao Jiayu personally made this pillow for Guo Yan, so that he would be more comfortable when he worked.
Guo Yan has always kept this pillow by his side, no matter where he goes.
"He said to me, 'This is a token of my promise to him.'" Xiao Jiayu behind the car said calmly.
I was a little moved when I heard that I was sitting in front of me here, it was simple to say it through thick and thin, but there were a few people who could really do it, Xiao Jiayu never gave up on Guo Yan, and even if Guo Yan was paralyzed, the only remaining consciousness still made him stick to Xiao Jiayu's love for her.
Duan Hong still had classes, Yun Duruo drove her back to school, and on the way to Xiao Jiayu's house, Yun Duruo suddenly smiled and said to Xiao Jiayu behind the car.
"I haven't been to your house for a long time, after graduation, everyone is busy, and I don't have time to get together, I remember that I always like to go to your house before, you can do it since you were a child, and the food you cook is delicious, I will be cheeky today, go to your house to beg for food, old classmate, you shouldn't welcome it."
"Of course you're welcome, it's just that now it's not as good as when you went to school, and you're busy with work for fear of delaying your work." Xiao Jiayu replied with a faint smile.
Yun Duruo almost didn't use the time in half, usually even thinking about the case during the meal time, of course I knew that she didn't have time to go to Xiao Jiayu's house to sit idle, presumably Yun Duruo found an excuse to accompany Xiao Jiayu more, and it could be seen that Xiao Jiayu was a very strong woman, Yun Duruo didn't want her to know that she was sympathized.
I didn t see that Yun Duruo also had a careful side, I sat next to her and glanced at her sideways, she noticed my gaze, and there was anticipation in her eyes, I knew that she meant that I would go too.
Along the way, Yun Duruo and Xiao Jiayu talked about the time when they went to school, and both of them were in a good mood, maybe Xiao Jiayu had experienced too many things, and he was bent on taking care of Guo Yan, who couldn't take care of himself, so Xiao Jiayu couldn't remember many things that Yun Duruo said.
I looked up and unconsciously looked at Xiao Jiayu and Guo Yan behind the car from the rearview mirror, and suddenly found that Guo Yan's eyes were looking at me in the rearview mirror, no longer empty and wooden before, if he hadn't been in a car accident, he and Xiao Jiayu would have been such an enviable couple.
My gaze moved down, Guo Yan was still motionless holding the pillow in front of me in the rearview mirror, I suddenly found that his fingers on it were slightly irregularly touching, and the paralysis was caused by neuronal damage resulting in the loss of motor function of the body, and Guo Yan's symptoms seemed to be much more serious.
But if his fingers can still be touched, it means that there is still hope for treatment and recovery.
"How long has he been moving his fingers like this?" I hurriedly turned around and asked Xiao Jiayu.
"Finger movements?" Xiao Jiayu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Guo Yan's hand.
At this time, I was surprised to find that Guo Yan's hand was stiffly holding the pillow, and there was no reaction at all, I knew that although he was paralyzed, his consciousness was clear, and he could hear and understand what I meant when I spoke, but he couldn't express it with his body or mouth.
I touched his fingers with my hand and asked very seriously.
"Do you feel it?"
Guo Yan remained motionless, his gaze returning to his previous sluggishness.
"What's wrong?" Yun Duruo in front asked curiously.
"I just saw his fingers touching irregularly, which means that his motor nerves are not all damaged, or the result of self-repair, and his condition may improve if he is treated in time." I said with some excitement.
Xiao Jiayu sat down beside Guo Yan, gently put his hand on his hand, and said softly.
"His fingers are sometimes touched, I took him to the hospital to see, said it was a discharge reflex, he was in a car accident at the time, his spine was seriously damaged, the attending doctor said that his chance of recovery was almost zero, at the beginning I was also very excited to see his fingers move, but slowly found that there was no meaning, it was his completely unconscious reflex."
Hearing this, I was somewhat disappointed, more sorry for Guo Yan, but I still didn't give up and touched his finger again.
"The eyelids can still blink if the spine is damaged, I touch your finger now, and if you feel it, blink at me."
Xiao Jiayu also looked at Guo Yan with concern, under my expectant gaze, I kept increasing the stimulation of Guo Yan's fingers, but his eyelids did not move from beginning to end.
I sighed in disappointment, turned my head around, and inadvertently saw Guo Yan still looking at me in the rearview mirror, that look seemed to be telling me something, because he couldn't control his head, and he tilted it down after a while, I suddenly found a very interesting thing, every time Xiao Jiayu helped him lift his crooked head up, Guo Yan's eyes always avoided her gaze, and when Xiao Jiayu chatted with Yun Duruo again, I saw him looking at me in the rearview mirror again.
When I arrived at Xiao Jiayu's house, I found out that Xiao Jiayu was not as pitiful as I imagined, at least she was very rich. The decoration of the villa alone was magnificent, and as soon as the car door opened, a servant came out to take Guo Yan from the car.
Xiao Jiayu asked the maid to take us in first, she went to change clothes and prepare dinner, and after Xiao Jiayu left, Yun Duruo and I sat in the living room, looked around the huge room, frowned and asked.
"What's the origin of your classmate, it seems that your family is good."
"I'm not as gossip as you, what does it have to do with you whether other people's family is good or not, and my good relationship with Jiayu is not because of her family background." Yun Duruo gave me a blank look and replied.
After resting for a while, Xiao Jiayu, who had changed her clothes, came out, she put on an apron and dressed as a housewife, she couldn't see the feeling of pampering at all, she asked us to sit down for a while, and the maid was preparing dinner, but Guo Yan's three meals a day had to be arranged and handled by her personally.
The dinner was very rich, the dishes on the table were full of color and aroma, it seemed that Xiao Jiayu didn't need to do much every day, the huge room was spotless and clean, and her mind was completely on Guo Yan alone.
Xiao Jiayu beckoned us not to be polite, when we were at home, Yun Duruo seemed to be very casual when he came here, seeing that I was a little restrained, and put vegetables in my bowl.
"Don't be like a little daughter-in-law, twist and pinch not like a man."
I'm not polite and restrained, but I don't know why, I have an inexplicable interest in Guo Yan sitting in a wheelchair opposite, and always look at him intentionally or unintentionally, I believe that Xiao Jiayu's patience is extremely good, because Guo Yan is paralyzed and can't chew, and what he eats must be liquid.
Xiao Jiayu prepared porridge for Guo Yan tonight, I saw that there was meat foam and vegetable foam in it, which could ensure Guo Yan's nutritional needs, Xiao Jiayu very virtuously spread a dinner cloth on Guo Yan's chest, and then scooped up a spoonful and put it on his mouth to blow to the right temperature, and felt it very carefully with the back of his hand, as if he was afraid of burning Guo Yan, and then slowly sent it to Guo Yan's mouth.
"If you marry a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" I saw this, and my voice was lowered and reached into Yun Duruo's ear. "You should also learn what it means to be virtuous and virtuous, otherwise with your temperament, who would dare to ask you."
"I promise to be just as good to you, no! Better than that. Yun Duruo smiled faintly and glanced back at me. Provided, of course, that you're just like him. ”
I smiled and retracted my body, and saw Guo Yan on the other side closing his mouth, his eyes were a little desperate and helpless, still avoiding Xiao Jiayu's eyes.
"Eat a little, you do this every time you eat, I know that you are not happy to let you eat these every day, but how can your body suffer if you don't eat."
Xiao Jiayu said to Guo Yan with a gentle smile, while gently priing open his mouth and slowly putting the soup spoon into his mouth, but Guo Yan was obviously very uncooperative, and the porridge sent into his mouth was squeezed out by him little by little, flowing onto the tablecloth on his chest.
I sighed a little when I saw this, how much patience and strength it takes to face such a person year after year, it can be seen how deep Xiao Jiayu's love for Guo Yan is, it is estimated that few people can be like her, even if I am an outsider, I feel exhausted.
"What if you don't eat something?" Xiao Jiayu was obviously used to this result, wiped the corners of Guo Yan's mouth clean, and brought a spoonful to his mouth again. "If you don't obey again, I'll take this pillow away for you, so you won't find it in the future."
Xiao Jiayu's voice was very gentle, and when she said this, she had a caring smile on Guo Yan's face, but Guo Yan's reaction was suddenly a little panicked, it was completely the expression I read from his eyes, and I actually saw a line of tears slipping down from the corners of his eyes.
"If you don't take it, if you don't take it, you won't take it away if you eat obediently." Transcript:.
This time Guo Yan didn't resist anymore, it seemed that the pillow was a spell for him, with irresistible magic, and he drank the porridge in his mouth very cooperatively.
Xiao Jiayu helped him wipe the porridge that was missing from the corner of his mouth while feeding Guo Yan, and found that there was no paper on the table, so he put down the bowl and turned around to get it, at this time, Guo Yan's eyes that had been pulled to the side looked at me again, he always seemed to look at me when Xiao Jiayu was not paying attention, and his eyes were clearly saying something to me, I frowned in surprise.
This time he was blinking at me, blinking his eyes irregularly and of different lengths, which reminded me of the action of his fingers tapping on the pillow when he was in the car, but soon at the moment when Xiao Jiayu came back, Guo Yan's eyes moved to the other side motionlessly.
I don't understand what he means by this, I always feel that there is anticipation in his eyes, maybe there are not many people who have been in contact with him at home for a long time, and he reacts strongly when a new face comes to the house.
Before leaving, Yun Duruo said that he would come to accompany Xiao Jiayu more when he was free, and I remembered that when Duan Hong got off the car, I asked me to help ask for a photo of Xiao Bowen, because the school is going to hold a celebration of the 60th anniversary of its founding, and a who's who will be published is of course indispensable to Xiao Bowen, a pivotal figure.
Xiao Jiayu asked us to wait for a while, and when we came down from upstairs, they handed us a single photo of Xiao Bowen, in which Xiao Bowen was in his prime, standing in front of a lighthouse with a smile.
