As Yesterday - Chapter 83
The next day was Sunday, He Yu drove Liu Ci to the nursing home.
Listening to songs along the way. He Yu used to have songs she loved to listen to in her playlist. Now she is slowly mingling with Liu Ci’s favorite Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, and she shook her head while driving.
He Yu asked Liu Ci when he was a child, why do you love to listen to love songs so much.
She is different. She likes to listen to Wuyuetian, listening to those very jumping songs, but she also thinks that the songs you listen to are very noisy.
At that time, the two of them were sitting at the table at He Yu’s house, and Liu Ci had just come over the window from the heat of midsummer. The summer kettle was filled with chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea, which Hong Lanwen made before work. He Yu added a lot of rock sugar to it, and put it in the refrigerator after it was cold, and waited for Liu Ci to come over and drink it together.
The two of them had a headset and sat together doing homework. He Yu wriggled his buttocks and looked like he had ADHD. Liu Ci put the headset that was almost torn off into his ears, saying that it was so nice.
At that time, Jay Chou’s songs were popular all over the country. Children took him as popular. Lin Junjie’s songs were also full of mp3s. He Yu could sing and Liu Ci loved Cantonese. She also learned a lot.
“Oh, but I heard that I really want to sleep.”
He Yu squinted her eyes and yawned. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head, and the broken hair fell on her cheek. The summer wind is very hot, the electric fan is hanging down, and the aqua-blue curtains are blown up and raised outside the window.
The old man upstairs is still playing the erhu, which is indeed a sleepy atmosphere.
Liu Ci has finished writing one of his summer homework, and He Yu has just started.
“Don’t you write it yet, didn’t your mother say to check it?”
Liu Ci held up his glasses and stared solemnly at He Yu’s still blank workbook. He Yu reached out and took off his glasses. The other party lazily said, “Just write and write, anyway, the teacher does not know how my mother is. Check it carefully.”
She was wearing Liu Ci’s thin oval glasses, with a ballpoint pen between her mouth and nose.
Liu Ci blinked. Her nearsightedness is not very high, but she is also very hazy when she takes off her glasses. He Yu is still far away at such a close distance.
But He Yu looks better with glasses than her.
She has always felt that He Yu looks good-looking since she was a child. Her profile is stronger than a girl’s. In the end, she has a heroic spirit that ordinary girls don’t have. No matter what angle it is, it is special.
Probably because Liu Ci didn’t respond much, He Yu felt bored and put on the glasses again for Liu Ci, and by the way, she pinned her partner’s hair behind her ears.
“You will copy it to me later.”
Liu’s words: “No.” He Yu came over and called her affectionately, “Copy it for me.”
Talking too violently, Liu Ci got goose bumps and pushed him away. He Yu, like cowhide, couldn’t push him away. In the end, both the workbook and pen fell to the ground, and the two twisted into a ball and squabbled. When he got up, the heat steamed up in the attic, and He Yu fell on the floor and reached out to turn on the air conditioner.
“My dad is not here, I can drive longer.”
She reached out and poked at Liu’s words, “Go and close the window.”
Liu Ci turned over, “Go by yourself.”
He Yu stood up, closed the window, and drank the tea in the teacup on the table.
Liu Ci fell on the floor, watching He Yu’s back, love songs in his ears.
Why do you like it, because you also want love, the kind of sweet in the story, there will be a love ending in a fairy tale.
Who hasn’t yearned for it.
“This song has been around for so many years.”
Circling to the little love songs on the road, He Yu sighed, “Don’t say, in fact, every time I go to KTV, the ones that go back and forth are still those few, what ten years, Daoxiang, little love songs and so on.”
Liu Ci nodded, and the car drove up the hill and stopped at the door.
He Yu went up with Liu Ci after registering.
The last time they came in winter, spring, summer, autumn and winter seemed to be the same here, and it was a bit terribly quiet.
Liu Ci followed He Yu, and the nurse on the guidance stage saw He Yu and smiled at her.
He Yu walked over, and the other party stood up, “It’s been a long time.”
He Yu nodded, “Have her family been here?”
The nurse pulled down the mask, revealing a slightly small face, and shook his head, “It’s been a time for the Chinese New Year.”
He Yu gave a cry, and the other party looked at Liu Ci following He Yu. The woman was wearing a light blue shirt with embroidery on the collar. The pleated skirt was very draped. The shoes were low-heeled leather shoes up to the ankles.
Wearing glasses and looking very bookish.
She remembered that this person had also been there last time.
She smiled at Liu Ci.
Liu Ci responded.
He Yu walked forward side by side with the nurse and talked about Lian Xiaoli’s current situation.
“She is very unwell. She has committed suicide many times and changed to an intensive care unit. We all have a headache.”
Lian Xiaoli is a relatively difficult patient in this private nursing home. It is not without mentally intractable diseases. She is young and looks very harmless, but it always makes people headache.
The needle was inserted into the throat last time, so now I watch the nutrient solution all the way, and there is nothing in the ward.
“Her illness…”
Lian Xiaoli’s physique was not good at first, and her allergies were left to her from time to time after the fire. Once a person is in a bad spirit, many problems will follow, long-term insomnia, long-term anorexia…Too many crux of the problem, very capricious mental torture burns her together, and even the memory is broken.
“She won’t eat either.”
Said the nurse.
He Yu let out a cry, and then heard the other person say: “She is too desperate to survive, and… can’t remember people. Sometimes when I go there, she asks who I am.”
Obviously this nurse is there almost every day.
He Yu didn’t know what to say, and the door of the intensive care unit opened. A woman with long hair was sitting on the hospital bed, deaf to the movement, she was in a daze.
The nurse kept following, and she also knew a little bit about the relationship between He Yu and Lian Xiaoli.
The head nurse vaguely reminded that she might be surprised before the change, but after a long time, she also feels that the feelings are the same.
Lian Xiaoli shouted He Yu’s name in countless resistance treatments, and sometimes called his mother. Mother is a significant role in a person’s life. The status of He Yu’s name can be seen.
But He Yu didn’t seem to be enthusiastic. He always came here in the dust and left after a while.
Occasionally, it is rare to stay with Lian Xiaoli a little longer, because there are others.
A lot of paper cranes were folded once, and the remaining paper was on the side of Lian Xiaoli’s hospital bed. The nurse saw that Lian Xiaoli was still folding in the early morning, and she did not shout when the light was turned off. She pointed to the moonlight. Pointed Pianfei.
During a routine inspection the next day, the nurse found the paper cranes in the trash can, which were full.
Auntie Cleaning complained in the corridor, and she folded almost a hundred, which was all boring.
The little nurse passed by and asked: “You still have time to count.”
That aunt is a foreigner, with an accent, “I’m bored too.”
“Fold it all night.”
“Nine-nine, these young people.”
Thousand paper cranes are blessings, and He Yu’s blessings carry a short-term gentleness. She really does not dare to give more, for fear that she will be swept and bound again.
Lian Xiaoli has lost a lot of weight again. This kind of weight loss has made her face much older, her hair withered, and star white in it.
He Yu walked over, holding a bunch of dried flowers, bending down slightly, and asked if you remember me?
Lian Xiaoli continued to play with her fingers. She was originally trained in any beautiful direction by her mother. She asked for He Yu to learn art. Liu Ci didn’t have that opportunity at all. Lian Xiaoli was given to her by her mother.
She is proficient in both dance and music.
Those hands that can be played in a literary performance are like dead branches, no longer as beautiful and slender as they were when they were young.
The nails are clean and neatly cut, it is no longer the same as He Yu who used to go shopping with her, try this color and the colorful and vivid.
He Yu shouted Xiaoli.
Lian Xiaoli still didn’t respond, her index fingers were tapping each other, like a rhythm, completely immersed in it.
Liu Ci stood aside, sad to swallow her, she remembered the first time she saw Lian Xiaoli, it was also summer.
The Yanxing Cage Alley is gone, Sifan is gone, Lao Liu’s noodle shop is gone, Liu’s repair shop is gone… nothing is gone, even they have disappeared in the torrent of time, swallowed clean.
He Yu turned around and wanted to put the pre-booked bouquet aside. When he turned around, the hem of his clothes was caught.
She turned her head, Lian Xiaoli looked over, her eyes were curious, as if she really didn’t recognize her.
He Yu smiled, “Did you see me?”
Lian Xiaoli nodded, his eyes fell on the bunch of flowers, and He Yu handed the flowers to her.
Her hair is very long, a little yellow, holding the bouquet, smiling.
He Yu sighed, speaking as if she was still normal.
Said what happened recently, do you know who and who, where there are new dramas, and finally said that Liu Ci came to see you.
Last time I saw it, Lian Xiaoli could still recognize Liu Ci.
This time she didn’t remember at all, so she smiled at her as if she had met for the first time.
Liu Ci also smiled, smiling and turning away from her face, He Yu patted her on the shoulder.
Liu Ci went out first.
Lian Xiaoli looked at her back, then looked up at He Yu.
The scars on her face are still the same. She wore a mask before, and she refused to take it off, and she rarely looked directly at people.
Staring at He Yu at this moment, like the curiosity of the first meeting.
He Yu also looked at her, she still didn’t take out the invitation card, it was too hot.
Lian Xiaoli looked like a patient, not angry, and lonely, with an oxygen dispenser on one side.
The ward is not very large, and her father succeeded in starting a business after remarrying, and it was a trivial matter to support her daughter’s medical needs. It’s just that. He even thought of this poor daughter. He just took a symbolic look at the end of the year. He didn’t come in, just across the door, across the piece of glass, just look and leave.
He Yu said a few more words to Lian Xiaoli, then turned and left.
The little nurse stood aside and wanted to take the bunch of flowers away.
“I’m afraid she will do something radical again.”
She reached for it, and Lian Xiaoli was protecting it, but the patient had no strength and was snatched away.
He Yu heard Lian Xiaoli’s cry and began to regret that she shouldn’t have brought flowers with her in the first place.
She cried like a child, heart-piercing, and the door closed, and He Yu felt a headache.
Liu Ci saw her come out and walked over.
He Yu stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders and twisted her eyebrows.
Lian Xiaoli was still crying, the bunch of flowers was taken away by the nurse, and she still maintained the posture of holding the flowers.
Her mind was empty, she knew she had lost, but she didn’t know what it was, she was suffering by instinct.
He Yu’s last Xiaoli, I’m going to get married and make her unfamiliar.
Who is Xiaoli, what is marriage, and who am I.
It was empty, too empty to make her know what to do.
When I returned to the city at dusk, Liu Ci looked at the McDonald’s at the crossroads and asked He Yu: “Do you want to eat?”
He Yu said, “Do you want to eat?”
“Suddenly want to eat French fries.”
He Yu: “Then go chant.”
The two of them hadn’t eaten these for a long time. When they were young, they wanted to eat them when they were older. Living together would improve their health. The two irregular people got together and became a regularity.
He Yu ordered the set meal. The tomato sauce was squeezed onto the carton, and the French fries were stained, and he handed it to Liu Ci first.
Liu Ci: “One package is not enough.”
He Yu: “I want three packs.”
Liu’s words: “He Yu, accompany me to notarize the will someday.”
He Yu: “What’s wrong, not only does the property notarize but also the will before the marriage?”
In fact, they have nothing to do with the law at all.
“I just feel that everything has to be arranged first, and there are too many changes in life.”
He Yu nodded, she bit a piece of French fries, looked at the street outside the window, and sighed, “So fast, we are all getting married.”
It’s unexpected, and I think it should be you.
