Chapter 120: Parting (3)
End of April.
After Xiao Liang died, the hospital bed next door has been empty. Without the company of the little girl, Anmu is looking out the window in a daze most of the time.
Xiao Ling's departure made him clearly realize that many things may just be empty in the end. The parents didn't know that their son's illness was difficult to cure, but they were unwilling to give up. So he scattered all his family wealth to treat the child's illness, but in the end, he only ended up with no personal wealth.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, if they don't pay for the little girl's treatment, the little girl will still leave, although they left their property in that way, but probably they can't forgive themselves for not saving their son in the first place.
There are some choices for which there is no right answer.
He turned on his phone and looked through the chat history between him and Lin Jingjing one by one.
His abdomen was slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't care, and then looked through the records.
The pain in my abdomen didn't go away as quickly as I expected, but it worsened. He clutched his stomach, his brows furrowed together. The pain seemed to spread from his abdomen to his whole body, and within a few minutes, fine beads of sweat oozed from his head.
He had a few pains a while ago, but it got better quickly. This time he thought that if he endured it, it would pass, but he didn't expect that the pain would become more and more unbearable.
Yasuki gasped for breath and rang the bell with what little strength he had left......
When he woke up again, it was dark and he was the only one in the room. Yasuki subconsciously put his hand to his stomach, and the terrible pain was like a nightmare.
There was a bit of noise outside the door, as if someone was talking.
He sat up from the bed, put on his shoes, and slowly approached the door, opening it a small slit.
The voice suddenly became a lot louder.
"His condition has deteriorated, and it will be a month at most for him to go under this condition."
There was silence for a while, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard.
"If the child still has any unfulfilled wishes, try to satisfy him, and let the child live happily this month."
"Really...... Is there no hope? ”
"We can only try to alleviate his pain, sorry......"
The sound was drowned out by the gradually irrepressible cry, and Yasuki stood behind the door and listened silently to his mother's cry.
I don't know why, but when he heard such a result, he spontaneously felt a sense of relief.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and then An's father's voice sounded: "The money I borrowed from my eldest sister has already been called, so I don't have to worry about the medical expenses anymore." ”
An's mother choked up and said: "It's good to alleviate the pain, no matter how much it costs, let my son continue to receive treatment." ”
Anmu was stunned when he heard this.
Xiao Liang's family was originally very solid, but in order to treat the disease, he took out all his family funds in just a few months. An Mu knows the situation in his family too well, even if his parents didn't show a trace of melancholy to him because of money, he is not a fool, and the family is afraid that they will not be able to make ends meet for a long time.
Mother Ann suppressed her crying: "Don't tell my son about his illness, I want him to live these days happily." ”
The mother's cry continued, and Yasuki gently closed the door, got into bed lightly, and lay down with his back to the door, as if nothing had happened.
After about an hour, An's mother entered the ward. Her eyes were still red, but when she saw that her son was awake, she couldn't do anything.
Mother An approached and asked gently, "What kind of meal do you want to eat tomorrow, Mom will cook it for you." She lovingly touched Anmu's hair.
"I love everything you make."
Anmu: "Then make your favorite little ravioli." ”
"Okay."
Mother and son looked at each other and smiled.
There was silence in the room for a while.
"Mom." An Mu screamed, An Mu looked at him, and he asked, "Is there no money in the family?" ”
Mother An paused, and then regained her smile, "Rich." ”
"If you run out of money and my illness is not cured, what will you do in the future?" Yasaki's speech suddenly became faster.
An's mother was alarmed, she was very afraid that her son had guessed something, but An Mu's eyes couldn't see the slightest flaw, as if she just asked casually, and she was a little relieved.
"Silly boy, Mom and Dad should spend as much money as you want, don't think nonsense, your illness will always get better."
Yasuki moved his lips, but finally didn't say anything. Mom didn't want him to know about it, so it was better to pretend not to know.
Yasuki nodded and did not speak.
Mother Ann tucked the corners of the quilt for him, gently instructed a few words, and then turned around and went out.
Yasuki's closed eyes slowly opened, staring at the ceiling in silence.
The pain of advanced stomach cancer is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He couldn't count the nights he had been so sick that he couldn't sleep, how many times he had forced himself to swallow the food one bite at a time. But he knew that he was not living for him alone, his parents, Lin Jingjing and that group of friends were expecting him to get better, and his efforts to live were also giving them hope.
And he himself had long been tired of this life, and now, he was finally about to get rid of it......
It makes no difference to him whether he lives an extra day or a month.
Only, he had one last thing to do.
*
The time of the third year of high school is about to come to an end, and Lin Jingjing happily chats with An Mu about things in school.
"You see, this little badge was put on by Teacher Song himself!" Lin Jingjing moved the camera to the badge on her chest. The badge was in the shape of a smiling face, and the bow below was written with the words "Gold List Title".
"We also ate watermelon today, which was personally delivered by Wang Jiong! It's very sweet, Luoluo and Tingting took a big piece, and the three of us ate it in the end, hahaha. ”
"Actually, the third year of high school is also very good, although I am a little tired, but it is very fulfilling. And I feel like all the teachers are coaxing us like babies, you see, even the hairstyles don't care. ”
Yasuki had already noticed that she had combed a small ponytail today, revealing a smooth and full forehead. The newly grown hair was not long enough, and some broken hair was scattered around her sideburns and forehead, which added a bit of cuteness to her.
After the video, Lin Jingjing was basically chattering, and An Mu listened quietly, responding with some expressions from time to time. Finally, when it was time to hang the video, Anmu reluctantly watched the screen for a long time, and was reluctant to leave for a moment.
He wanted to take another look and engrave her appearance deeply in his mind and in his heart. There will be no more chances......
After a while, the two fell silent at the same time, and Lin Jingjing considered it and said: "Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you, starting tomorrow, we will have closed training, and I can't call you before the college entrance examination." ”
Yasuki gently tugged at the corners of his lips.
It's okay, he doesn't have to think of excuses to deceive her.
He smiled and said, "It's okay, the most important thing is for you to prepare well for the college entrance examination." ”
Lin Jingjing blinked, "Yes, then I'll call you as soon as I get out of the exam room, anyway, you can't run." She laughed.
Yasuki's smile froze at the corner of his lips.
This sentence was like a needle, and it suddenly pierced his heart.
"You must review well these days." An Mu paused, and after a short silence, he said slowly: "Come on for the college entrance examination." ”
"I wish you the title of the gold list and a bright future."
His eyes reddened, and he tugged at the corners of his lips, trying to make himself look calmer. After a long silence, he said goodbye to her in a dry voice: "Jingjing...... Good bye! ”
Goodbye, I'm not just talking about this time, in the future, Anmu will completely disappear in front of your eyes, I hope you have the rest of your life...... Don't think of me again.
Before the words fell, he didn't dare to look at her more, and quickly hung up the video call. This goodbye seemed to drain all his strength in an instant, he couldn't control it anymore, and the tears fell silently on his slightly trembling wrist, and then slid down the arc of his wrist, and were dried by the night breeze blowing in from the window.
The tears were warm, but he felt unusually cold as the tears were dried.
It was as if the heart was suddenly empty, and it couldn't be filled, and it ached dullly.
It turns out that this is how people feel when they are extremely sad.
An Mu clenched the mango jelly in his palm, trembling and curling up, burying his head in his knees.
He remembers that during the spring outing, he hid aside to nibble on bread in order to save money, and he didn't even dare to accept snacks from his friends, because he knew he had nothing to give in return. She handed over a crystal clear mango jelly and said to him with a bright smile: "Don't refuse, no one in this world can refuse mango jelly!" ”
The girl's smile was like the sunshine on the beach that day, making people feel warm.
He didn't like sweet things, but the mango jelly she handed over was so sweet, so sweet that he fell in love with the taste at once.
Later, when he changed seats according to the ranking, he overheard her say that he liked the place near the window in the south row, so he silently chose the seat next to her. She seemed to be quite happy, too, and he thought to himself that she liked him too.
He shook his head and scolded himself inwardly. How could it be, she was so good, how could she possibly like him?
Until he was hospitalized, she liked the house so much that a person was willing to travel thousands of miles for him, she hugged his neck tightly, crying and talking. He was held in her arms and was in a trance for a while.
It turns out that she likes him too, and it turns out that she likes him too!
The ecstasy carried him so away that he forgot that he was a cancer patient with a short life.
What should he love her? He couldn't even keep his own life.
Yasuki laughed self-deprecatingly, tears on his face, and he tilted his head and exhaled deeply, tears streaming down his face.
I don't know how long it took, but he got out of the hospital bed and walked slowly to the window.
The ward was on the seventeenth floor, and at a glance, all the lights of the imperial capital were presented in front of him.
He studied hard, wanted to be admitted to the imperial capital, and wanted to reunite with his parents, but he didn't expect that he would finally witness the prosperity of the city in this form.
At the end of his life, he was in the hospital, peering through the window of his ward, watching the lights of the city.
From now on, whether it is silent or full of people in this world, it will no longer be related to him.
He spread out his palm, his gaze fell on the jar of sleeping pills in his palm, and finally, he laughed silently, with a hint of relief.
It's just a pity that he can't see the title of the little girl who likes mango jelly, and he can't wait for that day anymore.
Then I wish you a bright future.
I don't know if Heaven can choose the conditions of the next life, but if I can, I hope that I can have a healthy body and a fair starting point.
But I'm sorry, in this life, I can only accompany you here.
