Chapter 158: Goodbye, Summer
I didn't want to, but the tears just flowed down my breath, the pain was so intense, I endured it for so long, I didn't expect to fall short at such a time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, my tears scared Lu Jingping too.
"Hey, Lu Shining, you ...... What's the matter with you! ”
What followed was an embarrassing dozen seconds of silence, and the room was silent, except for a soft sobbing or two, which made the awkward scene even more awkward.
Lu Jingping sighed and gently wiped my face with a towel.
"I'm sorry," he said, "I'm not going to look at you in the same way I used to look at you again." This time, if it weren't for you, maybe we would all be dead. You saved our lives. ”
Please, isn't it time to talk about that?
"So, Shining, what do you need, how can I make you better, just say it!" Lu Jingping said, "No matter what, I'm your brother!" ”
My brother? I opened my eyes to look at him, and when I looked at him so closely, our eyebrows and eyes were really similar. Now Lu Jingping's expression is a little anxious, as if to say: Lu Shining, since you were a child, although you are not angry, you have never cried in front of me!
Yes, since I was a child, even if I was weak and always bullied, I would never shed a tear in front of these bullying guys, my self-esteem would not allow me to do this.
"Curtains......" my voice was hoarse and staccato "close the curtains...... Stay with me ......"
I don't want to see the moon. It's a bit of a no-brainer, but I'm really in a lot of pain right now, so it's forgivable even if it's not promising. Sitting on the edge of my bed, Lu Jingping, who looked anxious, became completely different from before, I used to be disgusted when I saw him, but now the breath on his body is somehow reassuring.
Pain is nothing, and now I'm very tolerant. Today is a good day, I seem to have everything I want - the power of demons, the spirit gathered in my body, the first step towards my goal, and even - blood relatives.
Lu Jingping really didn't leave, he stayed by my side all the time, at first he was silent, and then he began to tell me something nonsense. I don't have the strength to respond to him anyway, so he just talks about things and is fragmented. He talks about what happened between us in the past, how he looks at me unpleasantly, how he is jealous of my ordinary and quiet life, he talks about demons, he talks about strange things that happened when he hunts demons, in short, he talks about where he thinks, there is no logic at all.
But I like to listen to what he said, although they are absurd, they sound more real than anything else, and they are the words of Lu Jingping that I have never heard before.
These words diverted my attention from the pain a little, and he often re-soaked the soft towel with the moderate temperature of the water and gently wiped my body. The skin is refreshed and clean, and the air flows through it, bringing a hint of coolness and slightly relieving pain.
Gradually, gradually, I fell asleep under the blow of such intense pain.
When the body falls into a deep sleep, the pain is greatly reduced, so time passes faster. In the grogginess, unconsciously, the pain gradually diminishes until it disappears. When the pain was gone, I felt like I was in a bathtub filled with warm water, floating and comfortable. And just like that, I fell into a deeper sleep.
Thankfully, when I woke up again, the moon was gone, and the sky was already dawning.
I feel very relaxed, and I can't say how comfortable it is. Actually, the feeling in my body is as normal as when I wake up every morning, but this is the first time I have felt so deeply, and it is a luxury. It doesn't feel so good!
The door opened, and Lu Jingping came in with a basin, and when he saw that I was awake, his face was very straightforward.
"Are you awake?" He said very gently, "When it was almost dawn, I saw that your breathing was getting more and more steady, and it didn't seem to be too uncomfortable, so I went out and got you some clothes. How do you feel now? ”
"How many days have I been asleep?" I asked weakly as I lay on my back with my face to the sky.
"It's been four or five days," Lu Jingping walked to the window and stretched out his hand to open the curtains, "Originally, it seemed that your state was very stable, but I didn't expect it to be very serious last night." My dad and third uncle have all come to see you, and they say that there is no way, only you can survive by yourself. ”
"You've always been here?"
Lu Jingping snorted and said, "You have been humming and chirping for a few days, and you don't wake up, so I live in the same building with you, in case you don't see it, if you go over again, how can I explain to my family?" ”
This sentence is very mean, and it is like Lu Jingping I knew before.
I couldn't help laughing, because although my consciousness was blurry last night, there was a picture that had been deeply imprinted in my mind, that was Lu Jingping looking at me with an anxious face, and shouted: "I'm your brother!" ”
"Brother......" I called him secretly in my heart.
He can't be heard, or he'll be embarrassed. The pattern of getting along between two people is often laid down from a long time ago, and any change after that will only make people feel awkward. It's not bad, it's good, there's a faint happiness.
It took me a few days to recover, and it took me a long time just to regain my strength and get out of bed and walk, but as I recovered, I felt that my body seemed to be more powerful than ever, and everything seemed to be moving in a better direction.
During this period, people from my family came to see me one after another, and they didn't seem to treat me as if they were before. Some of them asked me about my physical condition, some thanked me, some talked to me about the past, in short, they treated me as their own.
Even the second and third uncles came to see me, but they didn't say much. I have complicated feelings for them, so I use weakness as an excuse to listen more and talk less. We just talked about what happened during the hunt and just coped with it.
It's been a bit boring these days. I wanted my body to get better soon, so I spent a lot of time resting in bed and trying to close my eyes and look for the breath of the mysterious person. The results were disappointing, and I certainly didn't expect it to come so easily.
Before I knew it, it was the day of the great heat.
This is the first time I've spent a solar term outside of boredom since the beginning of spring this year, so on this day, more than any other day, I miss a place that is not my home.
I wonder what they're doing today, and how they're going to celebrate?
I dialed the landline installed in the hall of the boring fast. In the days after I got home, I used to make that call, and whoever happened to be there, picked up, and said a few words to whomever I wanted. But since I was injured and unconscious, I haven't played again. They weren't human, and I feared that the weak sensations in my body could be heard through the microphone.
The phone was connected, and it was Liqing's voice that rang.
"Shining? Shining, you haven't called for so long, have you forgotten us! ”
The voice is a little low, hoarse, and the slightly coquettish and strange tone, it is simply impossible not to get drunk.
"Sister Liqing, that ...... I, I have a cold, my voice is hoarse, I can't even speak, I'm afraid you will be worried when you hear it. Listen, my voice is still a little wrong. I deliberately lowered my voice.
"Cold?"
"I'm a human being, I can catch a cold, Sister Liqing hasn't seen it before."
"Well, when are you coming back, their food is not delicious at all!"
"Mmmm, soon......" As he spoke, I also got up like an arrow, so I quickly changed the topic, "Sister Liqing, where are you going today?" ”
"I'm going to deliver a summer boat today!"
I think, on the phone, I can't tell where I'm going to go or how to send the summer boat. All I know is that it should be a fun thing to do, if only I were there.
"Sister Liqing, I can't go, remember to bring me a gift!"
I hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke. I think it's a shame for a big man to be coquettish like a child and ask for a gift, but I can't help it.
Somehow, I just stubbornly stuck to my promise with that guy.
If Liqing specially prepared a gift for me today, then she would definitely be able to meet that requirement, and it would be counted as something she had touched, right?
That guy, I'm holding on, and you're going to keep going, no matter where you are right now or what you've become.
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a second, and then, Liqing said, "Okay." ”
She didn't ask me what I wanted, only added, "Come back soon!" ”
I don't know if she misses my cooking, but this sentence also makes my heart full of enthusiasm.
It's almost there, I thought to myself, when I say goodbye to summer and autumn, it will be a season of gradual maturity. (To be continued.) )
