The ninth batch of Chinese peacekeeping troops and medical teams to Africa have recently completed their peacekeeping missions and arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport by chartered plane. While the leader of a certain army regiment held a welcome ceremony for the returning soldiers, several special passengers passed through a hidden passage He left secretly, escorted by a special medical car, and went straight to the top military hospital in the country.

It was a special patient who was sent in. Judging from the preliminary examination results, the patient was in a coma for a long time due to severe trauma to the head and blood clots oppressing the ventricle. Medications and other adjuvant treatments resumed, but another craniotomy was the only way to revive the patient.

After notifying the family members who came with him of the result, there were obvious differences of opinion among the family members. Among them, the older one believed that if the operation was the only chance to wake the patient up, even if there were risks, it was worth a try. The younger, delirious one, however, insisted on refusing.

After a long stalemate between the two sides, the older man slowly walked up to another man who was always bowing his head and persuaded: "I know what you are afraid of, and I am the same, but for Anhua himself, it is better to be so ignorant Lie in pain for a lifetime, I believe he is willing to give it a try, I am his big brother, I want to make this decision for him..."

The operation lasted for a full eight hours. When the nurse pushed the patient out of the operating room, the surgeons also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this is a patient who received special care from the superior.Looking at the red-eyed family member who had almost rushed to the hospital bed, the doctor hurriedly took off his mask and walked to another relatively calm family member, saying: "The operation went well, the congestion in the brain has been cleared, and the observation period will be a few days later." If there is no risk, it will be stabilized, but whether or not it will be possible to wake up, and how long it will take to wake up, depends on the patient's own will."

……

Two weeks later, after removing the gauze from Anhua's head, Chen Yixiao dared to bring her parents to the hospital.

That day, when the Chen family's parents walked into the ward tremblingly, when the mother who was always smiling like a child saw her son lying on the hospital bed, she was helped to come to the bedside, and then dragged An Hua with tears. He kept murmuring with his hand, "Anhua, mom is here, mom is here... You have to suffer outside... Mom will always be by your side in the future..."

Lao Chen, who has always been calm and restrained, couldn't help crying. He staggered to the hospital bed, looked down at his youngest son, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, but was now completely different, sobbing, stretched out his hand and squeezed Anhua's emaciated arm. With sobs, he could only say one sentence: "It's good to be back..."

Looking at the parents who were filled with grief and joy, Chen Yixiao couldn't help but lower his head and wipe his wet eye sockets. When he signed the informed consent form two weeks ago, he couldn't restrain his hands from trembling, even though he knew it was right to do so. , but still afraid that this will become the most irreversible decision in my life.During this period, only Chen Xue knew the truth. Chen Yixiao did not tell his parents that Anhua survived and returned to China for medical treatment, because if Anhua's operation did not go well, it would definitely deal another heavy blow to the elders. Being able to bear this suffering alone, he didn't dare to tell the two old people the shocking news until Anhua had stabilized completely.

And when he raised his head, he saw Yi Xiao standing motionless in the corner of the room, his eyes never leaving Anhua's body from beginning to end. In the past 20 days, since An Hua came to this hospital, except for the day of surgery, Yi Xiao never stepped out of this room, as if he was afraid that he might accidentally miss the moment when An Hua woke up.After he told Yi Xiao's parents that he might come here today, he finally shaved off his beard and cut his hair short, but even so, it still couldn't cover the sunken eye sockets and the dark circles under the eyes caused by staying up late for a long time.

In fact, from the second week after Anhua's operation, he had tentatively asked Yi Xiao if it was okay if he didn't go home like this. It was only then that he learned from Yi Xiao that the Qin and Li families were married by contract fact.

At that time, Yi Xiao lovingly supported the gauze on Anhua's head that hadn't been removed, and said lightly: "There are still a few months, but I have recently proposed to the Li family that the engagement can be terminated immediately..."

Chen Yixiao looked at his parents who were guarding the bed. These days, he has not stopped thinking about how to introduce Yi Xiao to his parents so that the two elders can accept it more easily.

Finally, Lao Chen raised his head after wiping away his tears. Only then did he notice the person standing in the corner of the room. Lao Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes. This person looked so familiar, but he seemed to remember him A certain vague boy in the middle was different. After hesitating for a while, Old Chen asked, "Yi Xiao, who is this?"

Even though she knew she would have to face it sooner or later, Chen Yixiao was still worried that her parents' sensitive and fragile nerves would not accept it easily, so she only vaguely introduced: "This is... An Hua's friend, Yi Xiao."

The moment Lao Chen heard the name, his eyes widened, because he completely remembered who this person was. Even with so many students, the name Yi Xiao was so impressive that it was hard to forget, although At this time, Yi Xiao had lost the arrogance and domineering spirit he had when he was a student, but Lao Chen suddenly remembered all the outrageous things related to this person.

"Yi Xiao... why are you here?" Old Chen asked in surprise.

"He is An Hua's friend, and he went there with me this time, and without Yi Xiao, we would not have been able to find An Hua." Chen Yixiao tried to guide in a good direction.

Yi Xiao didn't explain much, just stood there and said calmly: "Principal Chen..."

"..." Old Chen couldn't help but slowly wrinkled his brows. He looked at the hesitant elder son behind him, and after a long while, he answered in a deep voice, "En."

After a long time, after his parents had stabilized, Chen Yixiao invited the doctor in to explain Anhua's current situation.

"The patient's operation was successful. Through observations over the past few weeks, it has been confirmed that there is no risk in temporarily stabilizing him. However, because he has been in a coma for a long time, his brain may have been damaged to some extent. So when will he wake up? Will there be any problems after waking up? As for the sequelae, we still need to see how he recovers after recuperation."

Mother Chen couldn't stop crying when she heard this, "It's okay, as long as he is here, we will take care of him even if he lies down for the rest of his life."

"So judging from the current situation, this is what the hospital can do for the time being. If you want to stay in the hospital for observation, there is no problem. However, according to the past cases, it is better to take the patient back to the familiar living environment before. It can help the patient wake up earlier." After adding the sentence "Your family members think about it again", the doctor left the room first.

Mother Chen wiped her tears with a handkerchief and nodded quickly, "Let's take Anhua home, and your father and I can take care of him."

Hearing this sentence, Yi Xiao raised his head suddenly, and panic and confusion flashed in his eyes. Chen Yixiao responded to Yi Xiao with his eyes in an unobtrusive manner, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his mother's shoulder to persuade: "Mom! , Anhua can have a doctor's care here, which is actually much better than at home."

"But didn't the doctor say that it would be better for Anhua to go home to recuperate." Mother Chen sobbed.

"The doctor said that Anhua has not lived at home for several years when he returned to the familiar environment. In fact, it is more convenient to have doctors and nurses here to help take care of him."

"Mom knows, but it's too far away from our house. It's inconvenient for Mom to take care of Anhua." Chen's mother had no idea, so she turned to her wife and asked, "Old Chen, what do you think?"

After hesitating for a moment, Principal Chen finally came to a conclusion: "Let's go home. No matter how well the hospital takes care of him, Anhua's life will not be more comfortable than at home."

"That's right," Mother Chen nodded hurriedly, "An Hua never liked being hospitalized since he was a child, so let's take him home."

Seeing that Yi Xiao was moving forward involuntarily, Chen Yixiao hurriedly shook her head to stop her, then leaned down and continued to dissuade her, saying: "Mom, you and my dad are not in good health, so it's too hard to take care of them like this, otherwise, you Whenever you want to see Anhua, I will bring you here, you can come every day..."

"Yi Xiao," suddenly, Lao Chen stopped his son who had been trying to dissuade him from behaving abnormally, said "come out with me", and left the room first.

When Chen Yixiao passed by Yi Xiao's side, his eyes made brief contact with Yi Xiao, and he silently said "don't worry", and followed his father out of the ward with a little worry.

When they came back, the faces of the Chen family father and son were not very good. Old Chen walked to the foot of Anhua's bed and announced to everyone in the room: "We will take Anhua home tomorrow."

Only Chen's mother was very pleased with this decision, she hurriedly nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll just say this is better, and I feel at ease when An Hua is by my side."

One sentence completely defeated the person in the corner. After seeing Chen Yixiao frowning and shaking his head helplessly at him, Yi Xiao couldn't control himself anymore and turned to Father Chen: "Chen...Principal Chen..."

But Lao Chen didn't hear it, he didn't give Yi Xiao a straight look, he just lowered his head and said softly to his wife: "You stay here and watch An Hua, Yi Xiao and I will go back and tidy up the room first, and I will come back at night If it's you, I'm afraid it's too late today, and we'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Yi Xiao stood there listening to these words like a thunderbolt, and looked at the sleeping man with nostalgia. He wanted to organize enough persuasive words to persuade Father Chen to change his decision, but the man just patted An Hua's hand distressedly. Behind her back, she resolutely walked towards the door.

"Principal Chen..."

Even though Lao Chen heard this trembling voice, he didn't look back. As an old educator who has been teaching for many years, it was only one aspect that he couldn't accept his son's homosexual orientation. More importantly, he couldn't believe Yi Xiao's behavior at all. The frivolous pride of this bastard was written on his face more than ten years ago, and Lao Chen couldn't believe that he could sincerely take care of his son through this person's past.

And the moment he walked to the door and opened the door with his hand, he heard Chen Yixiao hurriedly say behind him: "Yi Xiao, get up quickly!"

Old Chen turned around slowly, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was so shocked that he took half a step back, because he never dreamed that this once proud person would kneel before him one day.

"You..." Old Chen stared in panic, "What are you doing!"

Yi Xiao looked gloomy and lowered his head to the lowest point, enduring the pain and said: "Principal Chen, leave Anhua to me, I will take care of him for the rest of his life whether he wakes up or not," Yi Xiao never tried in his life. Guo Guo's humble tone pleaded: "Please..."

"Nonsense! Get up!" Old Chen was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.

Chen Yixiao originally wanted to help Yi Xiao up, but when he saw the faint teardrops on the ground, he finally let go of his hand slowly, raised his head and said to his father, "Dad... you Poor Anhua, I know better than you who he wants to be with the most, so you should be your own son."

Sensitive mother Chen has already seen everything, she wiped away her tears and stood up from Anhua, carefully put back the hand with the ring, turned to her wife and said, "Old Chen, Anhua can come back alive and let us What are you trying to do, I am his mother and I know him well, so just listen to Yi Xiao..." As she spoke, the old mother burst into tears again, "As long as An Hua is happy, I can do whatever I want. ..."

The five people in the room were all still in place, and the time was stretched surprisingly long for Yi Xiao. A few minutes later, he heard the man sigh and turn to leave the room, and then he realized what Chen Yixiao said. The words slowly returned to their place.

Chen Yixiao knelt down beside him and said, "Get up, my dad agrees."

……

After staying in the hospital for another two weeks, Yi Xiao took Anhua back to the small house they rented before after obtaining the reluctant consent of Chen's parents.Before that, he had asked Chen Shen to buy the house from the owner at an irresistible price and quickly vacated the house. Therefore, Chen Shen's main work in the past two weeks was to restore the interior of the house according to the previous decoration. Including the pattern and color of the curtains, and every small decoration on the TV cabinet in the living room, according to Yi Xiao's intention, it was restored to the way the two rented it.

The only difference was the bedroom, which was equipped with a complete set of medical auxiliary equipment, which made the small room a bit crowded, and had to change the place where the bedside table was originally placed to detect the heartbeat, but even so, Yi Xiao still Added a new floor lamp in the corner of the room that is not ample.

For a period of time when he first moved in, Yi Xiao still stayed by Chen Anhua's side every day as if he was in a hospital, as if this sleeping person could hear him talking. The big and small things that happened around him in the past two years, under the dim light at night, they held An Hua's hand and slept together.

And a few weeks later, with Yi Xiao's uncle and Zhou Jinyu repeatedly persuading him, Yi Xiao had no choice but to cheer up and return to Qin's work.

Although the third phase of the smart shared space project needs to be implemented as soon as possible, Qin Xuan is not in a hurry to let Yi Xiao follow up and implement it, because this nephew who is getting thinner and thinner makes him feel distressed, and he can't bear to let the Qin family who has paid too much Yi Xiao worked harder.

In the end, it was Zhou Jinyu's words that woke him up. Zhou Jinyu came to Qin's that day just to say something to him, "If Chen Anhua doesn't wake up and Yi Xiao doesn't come out of that house, then Yi Xiao will be in trouble for the rest of his life." It’s useless,” Zhou Jinyu finally couldn’t bear to persuade, “Uncle, I know you love Yi Xiao, and I do too, but now it’s the best choice to divert his attention and let him cheer up through work.”

On the first morning when Qin returned to work on the first day, Yi Xiao once again told the nanny who was invited to familiarize himself with the environment a few days ago, "Remember to play some songs for him during the day, don't make him feel that a person who is It’s not safe in the house. I saved all the songs he likes on the USB flash drive. You can just open it for him to listen to... Remember to open the windows in the living room for a while around ten o’clock in the morning. Don’t open the windows in the bedroom directly to avoid cold wind blowing and easy to catch a cold , if it gets dark early in the afternoon, you can turn on the lamp in the bedroom so that the room is not too dark... I must be back before seven o’clock, and if there is anything to do, please call me as soon as possible.” Finally, he told the nanny: "At five o'clock every day, remember to cook a pot of pork rib soup according to what I taught you. I have already adjusted the ingredients and put them in the refrigerator..."

Reluctantly, Yi Xiao came to the bedside, kissed Anhua's newly grown short hair and said goodbye to him, "He likes to drink soup, maybe one day he will wake up when he smells the aroma and is hungry."
