Running Snail - Chapter 41
Its daybreak.
The rain last night came swiftly and violently, and it gradually stopped until morning.
The air in the morning became very fresh after being washed by rain. The lawns and flower beds downstairs were still stained with moisture from the rain. Some family members got up early and took the sick to go for a walk. Some people bought heat from the opposite street. Tengteng buns and soy milk.
Very common, the beginning of the day.
Fei Teng stopped by to bring breakfast downstairs after his duty was over, stood in the corridor with Lu Shuang, and ate something casually. Raising his eyes to the intensive care unit, the instrument for testing vital signs made a ticking sound, the curve above still fluctuated regularly, and Qi Juan still closed his eyes tightly.
Fei Teng went to the duty room to wake up Wei Nan and Yuan Yuan. They rushed over after freshening up. Wei Nan asked nervously, “Is she awake?”
Lu Shuang gently shook his head.
Fei Teng said, “Don’t worry, the time is not up yet, eat something and sit for a while.” Then he handed them the buns he bought.
The doctors on duty in the hospital also got up to do the handover work. The nurses hurried to test the patients, and the busy day gradually began.
In front of the intensive care unit on the 14th floor, four people were sitting with expressionless faces.
Wei Nan lowered his head and bit the steamed buns. After eating a steamed bun for ten minutes, he hadn’t finished eating. He stared at the window and looked at Qi Juan in the room with his eyes closed. The sound of a clock ticking echoed in his ears.
I don’t know how long it took until eight o’clock in the morning, when the big clock on the square outside the window made a “drip” chime, Qi Juan inside the room suddenly moved her finger slightly. Wei Nan stared at her intently, and soon noticed her slight movements, and instantly jumped up from the chair: “She is awake? Is she awake?!”
Fei Teng hurriedly called the doctor. Qi Juan slowly opened his eyes. Wei Nan finally couldn’t help but yelled: “She wakes up, I know Xiaojuan can survive!” Wei Nan kept repeating this. In other words, the joy in it even infected the family members who passed by, and said with a smile: “It’s fine to wake up, young people are really energetic, screaming and jumping…”
Lu Shuangchong smiled politely. He grabbed the exaggerated Wei Nan in his arms. Wei Nan turned his attention away, hugged Lu Shuang’s back, and smiled excitedly: “Xiaojuan comes alive. It’s great, I knew she would make it through… She was so powerful that he didn’t dare to accept it!”
Fei Teng rolled his eyes helplessly next to him: “Then you don’t have to jump like a stimulant monkey, girls don’t pay attention to the image…”
Lu Shuang ignored Fei Teng’s eyes, gently wrapped Wei Nan’s shoulders, and smiled.
The doctor in charge rushed over in a hurry and went in to see Qi Juan’s situation. When he came out, he also smiled: “Sure enough, he is a young man and he is recovering well.”
Soon, Qi Juan was pushed to the intensive care unit, and family members were allowed to visit. Wei Nan wanted to open the door, but was pulled by Lu Shuang. Fei Teng, who was beside Lu Shuangchong, nodded, and the two of them shut the two girls outside and went in to greet Qi Juan who was waking up.
Qi Juan’s face was slightly pale, her body was still weak, and her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke——
“Where is my mother?” Qi Juan fixedly looked at Lu Shuang.
Sure enough, this was the first sentence she woke up. Although Lu Shuang had guessed it a long time ago and was prepared to deal with it, looking at her at this time, he still felt sad.
A smile appeared on Lu Shuang’s face: “Don’t worry, your mother is fine, she was sent to the hospital in time yesterday, and now she is out of danger.”
Fei Teng also smiled and explained: “Your mother is in a stable condition. Although she was seriously injured when she was sent to the operating room yesterday, fortunately, an expert personally took care of her and rescued her. Don’t worry, you can rest assured first.”
Qi Juan nodded, because she was covered with a lot of gauze on her chest, the little bit of her head looked like a corpse and looked funny, but no one could laugh because her eyes were as cold as an ice sword. general.
“Like me?” Qi Juan stared at Lu Shuang.
Lu Shuang smiled and touched his nose, “What are you doing to lie to you? Your mother is next door. She woke up first, so Nan Nan and Yuan Yuan both went to see her first.”
“is it?”
Fei Teng nodded: “Yes.”
Lu Shuang glanced at Fei Teng, who was wearing a white coat next to him, and said with a chuckle, “Look, the doctor said yes.”
Fei Teng agreed: “Yes, your mother’s operation is still my assistant.”
When the two sang and lied there, Qi Juan finally didn’t ask any more, just closed her eyes lightly and said: “That’s good, you call Nan Nan over, I have something to tell her.”
Lu Shuang went outside the door and called Wei Nan. He leaned in her ear and confessed a few words softly. Wei Nan glanced at the serious Lu Shuang and bit his head and nodded.
After arriving in the ward, Qi Juan smiled at Wei Nan. The slightly pale face made a ugly smile. Wei Nan hurriedly walked to the bed and said: “Xiaojuan, you scared me to death. Fortunately, I woke up… ”
Qi Juan stretched out her hand, and Wei Nan hurriedly held it.
Qi Juan grabbed Wei Nan’s hand and whispered, “Nan Nan, remember what you said? We will always be good sisters, right? Tell me honestly, did my mother leave?”
Wei Nan pretended to hold her hand calmly, and smiled: “What nonsense? Auntie is doing well next door. Just now you told me to come over and see if you are awake. You have to take care of your injuries and I have to follow She reports your condition.”
“Did you lie to me?”
“You are a puppy.”
Qi Juan was silent for a long time and finally smiled.
Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but they heard Qi Juan suddenly say: “Nan Nan, since childhood, I know what you want to do when you move your eyebrows, believe it or not?”
Wei Nan was stunned.
“Every time you lied, your eyebrows would tremble. They were shaking just now.” Qi Juan stared at Wei Nan’s eyes earnestly, saying every word: “My mother has gone, right? Right?”
In the suffocating silence, Fei Teng quietly pressed the help button next to the bed.
After a while, Qi Juan broke out, tearing the bandage on her chest like crazy, and her hoarse voice was as harsh as a howling beast: “Why is it not me who died?! Why is my mother dead?! I changed her. Location! If she doesn’t sit by the window, it should be me who is dead!” Because of the emotional struggle, a large dazzling blood leaked from the bandage on her chest, Qi Juan inserted her hands between her hair , Choked and repeated: “Why do I trouble my mother again…I trouble her again…every time I trouble her…”
The doctor quickly rushed over, held Qi Juan, and quickly gave her a tranquilizer.
It was not until Qi Juan fell asleep that Lu Shuang dragged Wei Nan who was stunned.
In the corridor, Wei Nan’s whole body trembled, and her voice trembled: “I don’t know that I have this habit of lying… I don’t even know…”
The sisters who grew up together knew each other’s small habits well, and just like that, a lie in front of her was easily exposed. At this moment, facing Qi Juan who knew herself so well, Wei Nan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Shuang hugged her lightly, and comforted: “It’s okay, she will know sooner or later, we can enlighten her when she wakes up, okay?”
Wei Nan nodded.
After a long silence, Wei Nan suddenly raised her head and asked, “You don’t need to go to work?”
Lu Shuangdao: “It doesn’t matter, ask for leave.”
Wei Nan said seriously: “You go back and rest. Since she is out of danger, I’ll just stay in the hospital.”
Lu Shuang was silent for a moment, and said, “Okay, I’ll go to the company to handle some things first, and come back in the afternoon.” He patted Wei Nan on the shoulder, “Call me if you have something to do.”
.
Qi Juan’s mood temporarily stabilized under the action of the drug.
Wei Nan faces a bigger problem-what about medical expenses?
Qi Juan’s mother’s health has been deteriorating since breast cancer surgery, and she has been taking expensive drugs. Qi Juan herself is an intern lawyer, and it is impossible to have excess savings on hand. As a sister who grew up together, Wei Nan could only find a way to help her first.
I called my parents to borrow, and my parents said that the deposits were all fixed-term and could not be taken out.
My elder brother is still a student, it is impossible to have money.
It would be fine if Xiao Qing was there. Their family is very rich, and it is absolutely not a problem to spend some medical expenses, but now Xiao Qing is also far abroad, and there is no news.
Wei Nan went through all the people around him in his mind, but deliberately ignored Lu Shuang’s name——
There is no face anymore to borrow money from him.
He just rejected his confession the day before yesterday, and he did not close his eyes all night last night. Lu Shuang, who didn’t complain, and even said, “I volunteered, you don’t need to feel guilty.” Lu Shuang, who has been by his side and waiting for Qi Juan to tide over the difficulties, is embarrassed to ask him for money again? I was shameless enough to accept his contribution but couldn’t give him back.
Almost all the numbers in the phone book were dialed again, and Wei Nan’s mood became even heavier.
In the afternoon, Zhou Fang dialed the phone and chatted for a while. Wei Nan finally said in a panic: “Brother, I am in a hurry. Can I ask you to borrow some money?”
Zhou Fang was very happy: “Borrow money? How much?”
Wei Nan asked a little nervously: “How much can you lend me?”
Zhou Fang smiled and said, “Then it depends on what is urgent for you.”
“My sister… She was just rescued from a car accident. She was seriously injured and needed to pay for hospitalization.”
“That should cost a lot of money, right?” Zhou Fang paused, and said, “Well, I’ll give you the manuscript fee I got a few days ago. Anyway, it’s useless if I keep it. Give me a card number. I will call you directly.”
Wei Nan was so grateful that he was about to cry, and nodded quickly: “Thank you so much!”
This money is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, and has solved the biggest problem at present.
Although Zhou Fang borrowed money from him because of Lu Shuang’s face, Wei Nan always felt a little more comfortable in his heart compared to directly asking Lu Shuang for money.
Without knowing it, Lu Shuang at the end of the corridor, after seeing the excited Wei Nan, only smiled and turned and walked away.
At the corner, Lu Shuang leaned on the handrail to answer the phone.
“I have given the money to her according to your wishes.” Zhou Fang let out a long sigh of relief: “If something happens to her sister, you just follow along, so you don’t feel tired?”
Lu Shuang said helplessly: “No way, I am chasing her, she is the boss.”
Zhou Fang was silent for a moment, and sighed, “You are too Lei Feng. You have to pay a few months of salary, and you have to borrow my name to do good deeds without leaving a name. I was almost moved by you to cry. .”
“You won’t be crying and crying at that cat.” Lu Shuang chuckled. “I know she can’t ask me to borrow money. Seeing her in a hurry, I’m also upset, so I will solve this urgent need first.”
“Oh, she won’t ask you to borrow it… won’t you have a showdown with her?”
“Yes, and it was rejected badly.” Lu Shuang stroked his forehead, rather helpless: “Ah, with her personality, I couldn’t help crying in front of me last night. I would definitely be very embarrassed. I can’t look down. I borrowed money, so this time, I will borrow your clutches.”
“Lu Shuang…” Zhou Fangchang sighed, sighing, “Would you like to put on a hat for you and write “Love Saint” on it?”
Lu Shuang raised his eyebrows: “How can I be a love saint? How can I say it is like a “love fairy”?”
“Well, you are an immortal.” Zhou Fang helplessly: “Even if you are an immortal, doing this for her, isn’t it… too much?”
“It’s okay if I want to, where are you so much nonsense.” Lu Shuang smiled slightly and said, “Besides, there is only this I can do for her.”
In fact, I have done a lot for her, but still feel that it is far from enough, because Lu Shuang knows very well that no matter how much he does, he cannot match Xu Zhiheng’s words or even a look. That’s why I did my best to do more for her, hoping to leave more marks in her heart, but no amount of marks can compare to the deepest wound.
Even if she is by her side when she needs to care the most, even if she solves problems by herself when she needs help the most, what she thinks and reads in her heart is still Xu Zhiheng.
Xu Zhiheng was no substitute for her existence. Lu Shuang didn’t expect Wei Nan to delete all his memories. He just thought that he could make her unforgettable. This was enough.
