Chapter 56: Drunkenness
More than three years ago, Lan Xingchen came from the United States and was immediately admitted to the hospital, in fact, his physical injuries were not particularly serious, but his psychological problems were very big, and he was already in a state of no will to survive, so Lan Xingchen has been living in the hospital, and Lu Jiming always gave him hypnotherapy at night.
Finally one day, Lan Xingchen had some consciousness, he walked to the window, looked at the bustling commercial street across the road, and suddenly looked a little familiar, it turned out that the back of the hospital was the street where he used to eat hot pot with Wanwan.
Lan Xingchen insisted on going out for a walk, but the doctor didn't stop him too much, and Meng Jie quietly followed. Lan Xingchen approached the hot pot restaurant, Wang Xiaoer, who had been promoted from a doorman to the manager, did not recognize him, Lan Xingchen sat blankly, letting the hot pot gurgle on, he just looked at it blankly, smelled, as if he didn't know the hot pot.
Wang Xiaoer finally noticed him, walked over and asked enthusiastically, "Hello, sir, do you need me to help you?" ”
“……”
"Hello, I'll help you with shabu, can I?" Wang Xiaoer continued to ask patiently.
"......" Lan Xingchen still didn't answer, but he raised his head to look at Wang Xiaoer, and suddenly he saw the photo on the wall, ran over excitedly, took the photo off, and shed tears at the photo.
"You...... Know her? Wang Xiaoer looked at Wanwan on the photo and asked, this photo was taken a month ago, and it was the time when Wanwan returned to China to sweep the tomb.
"......" Lan Xingchen was still in tears and did not speak.
At this time, Wang Xiaoer saw someone calling him at the door, and he hurried over to greet him.
"Hello, I'm a friend of the guy inside, my name is Meng Jie, this is my business card, I have something to leave, you can call me when he finishes eating in a while, he is not in good health, I need to send him back to the hospital opposite."
"Okay, I'll call you."
The night was getting darker, and the people in the hot pot restaurant were leaving one after another, Wang Xiaoer looked at the strange person, still holding the photo and staring blankly, the hot pot was filled with water again and again, but he didn't move the chopsticks. The store was almost busy, Wang Xiaoer sat next to him, and saw that he did have a hospital bracelet on his wrist, and he looked at his message curiously, which said Blue Xingchen!
"You're Blue Star!?" Wang Xiaoer was very shocked, the person in front of him couldn't see the shadow of Lan Xingchen at all!
"You don't recognize it, do you? She didn't recognize me either, hehe. Lan Xingchen finally spoke.
"You... Why have you lost so much weight, you haven't been here all these years, have you gone to another city? Wang Xiaoer was very curious.
"No, it's always been here, just nearby, lying in the hospital opposite for 5 years!" Lan Xingchen said bitterly.
"What? Always in the hospital next door? Wang Xiaoer was even more shocked.
"Yes, but my old ward is facing south, so I can't see the street. The nearest ward faces north, which is exactly what you can see. If I had been in my current ward 5 years ago, I would have been woken up by the aroma of hot pot, hehehe. Lan Xingchen smiled, but his eyes were still full of bitterness.
"You used to be a police officer, right? Was it because of illness that he was separated from Miss Huang? She seems to have forgotten a lot of things when she came here a month, and it was I who took this photo by pulling her hard, along with her autograph and phone number. Wang Xiaoer pointed to the back of the photo.
Lan Xingchen stared at the name and phone number written by Wanwan with wide eyes, the number was very familiar, he remembered that this was his missed call on the plane, he quickly called back, it was already turned off, he thought that if he got on the plane a little later, they would be able to meet in China, and the result would not be different, but everything could not be repeated, and missing it was missing.
"Let's take a picture." As he spoke, Wang Xiaoer leaned over and took a photo with Lan Xingchen. Then he took the photo down from the Polaroid and asked Lan Xingchen to sign his name and leave his phone number.
Lan Xingchen doesn't like to take pictures very much, especially the way he looks now. But he still didn't refuse. continued to ask: "Did Wanwan say anything when she came?" ”
"I mentioned you to her, she suddenly had a headache, she didn't hold it steady when she took the medicine, and the medicine was scattered all over the ground."
"Then you ......"
"I'm so curious, of course I've put away a few pieces."
"Can you give it to me?"
"Absolutely! Can you tell us why you separated? You're all in pain. ”
"Is there any wine?"
"Yes! Hold on. Wang Xiaoer went to get the wine, and then quietly called Meng Jie to ask Lan Xingchen if he could drink, Meng Jie said that Lan Xingchen's health was almost better, and it should be fine, he just had a problem in his heart now. It might be better for him to have some drink to vent.
Lan Xingchen took the wine and poured three glasses in succession, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't drunk wine, Wang Xiaoer also took a cup and sat down to drink with Lan Xingchen.
"There are so many guests here, how did you notice us?"
"You and Miss Huang are very dramatic every time they come, I was a doorman at the time, and I especially like to observe people, and tell you one thing, don't be angry, I secretly take a photo every time you come."
"yes, I'll take a look."
"It's all in my phone, you see, this is the first time you've come, and since you're wearing a police uniform, I secretly took a photo."
In the photo, Lan Xingchen was about to throw a small stone on Huang Wanwan, Huang Wanwan was busy hiding, with a funny expression. Lan Xingchen looked at the photo and couldn't help but smile, as if he was in another world.
Wang Xiaoer turned out the second one, it was the second time they came, Lan Xingchen hugged Huang Wanwan and walked inside, Wanwan leaned on Lan Xingchen's chest and was obedient and quiet, Lan Xingchen looked down at Wanwan gently.
The third picture is Wanwan taking the medicine given by Wan Xiaojiang, Lan Xingchen holding her and rushing out, Lan Xingchen was very anxious, and Huang Wanwan's expression was painful. Lan Xingchen looked at the photo and couldn't help frowning.
In the fourth shot, Lan Xingchen pulled Huang Wanwan out, Wanwan was a little angry and wanted to break free from him, but Lan Xingchen was jealous and pulled her very domineeringly. Lan Xingchen smiled again, thinking that they had kissed in the real sense that day, and he really understood his feelings for Wanwan.
After reading the photo, Lan Xingchen poured a few more glasses of wine, and Wang Xiaoer saw that he was already drunk, so he persuaded him not to drink, and he had something to tell him.
Lan Xingchen was grateful to this person who had met in Pingshui for recording his and Wanwan's precious memories, and he told about their ups and downs. From acquaintance to love, from being forced to be separated for 5 years to being together with Tsuchiya for 10 days, to a desperate breakup. Although Lan Xingchen was drunk, although Lan Xingchen was very painful, he still didn't say a word about the confidential matters involving the police, and he took it lightly. But Wang Xiaoer had already burst into tears when he heard it, and his heart ached, and he also poured a few glasses of wine fiercely, and the two of them fell drunk on the dining table.
When Meng Jie carried Lan Xingchen away, he slapped this unreliable Wang Xiaoer a few times. In the next few days, Lan Xingchen went to the village and was isolated from the world for three years.
Wang Xiaoer was still infinitely emotional after recalling the scene of the last meeting with Lan Xingchen, and he quietly took a photo of the father and son. Then he took a few pills and handed them to Lan Xingchen, and said apologetically: "This is the medicine I promised you three years ago, I'm sorry I was also drunk that day, and then I went to the hospital to look for you, but you have been discharged." ”
Lan Xingchen took the medicine and remembered that day that Wang Xiaoer had said that Wanwan took the medicine, and then alerted himself to being drunk and mishap! After he decided to send Hong Hu away, he took the medicine to the hospital for testing, and by the way, asked Wanwan about the condition of the last car accident!
