An Accident in Broad Daylight

No matter how unexpected Yi Zhe was, or how reluctant Xu Tangcheng was, the needle has been inserted happily.Yi Zhe looked uneasy, and kept carefully looking at the person on the bed.But he found that after the injection, Xu Tangcheng's eyelids never lifted again.

"Brother Tang Cheng..." He called out to him, and then said, "The doctor said no injections. After the injections, you will be much better."

When Yi Zhe said this, he squatted down and leaned in front of Xu Tangcheng, his voice was very soft, so soft that he seemed to be coaxing people.Failed to do what he asked for, failed to stand by his side.Even though Xu Tangcheng's request was unreasonable, he still felt guilty when he explained it.

The person on the bed didn't know whether he heard him or not, but he still closed his eyes and ignored him.

"I was wrong……"

At this moment, the nurse opened the door and came in again, interrupting this confession.The infusion was installed on the trolley, which looked much more spectacular than before.

Yi Zhe felt his heart hurt.The injections are the same, what can I do now for the infusion?

"The family members go get the quilt for the bed." The nurse didn't feel any empathy for his worries. She mixed the liquid skillfully in her hand and said with lowered eyes, "add the nutrient solution, it will be late."

When it comes to practical matters, Yi Zhe immediately puts aside the distressing thoughts in his head.He straightened up and walked out in response.But they had already left the door, and people turned back.

"Excuse me... where can I get the quilt?"

The nurse didn't even raise her head: "Go out and turn right, go to the end and turn left, the second room at the end on the right."

Read this sentence like a tongue twister silently, and write it down.Just as I lifted my foot and was about to leave, I found that the nurse had already mixed the liquid and was dismantling the infusion set during the time I wasted.Yi Zhe saw the exposed needle with a black handle shining coldly. He glanced at Xu Tangcheng again and said to the nurse, "I'll prick it when I come back."

Unexpectedly, this tall and big boy was actually a mother-in-law. When the nurse turned her head and met his overly serious expression, she suddenly wanted to laugh: "All right, let's go."

He quickly paid the deposit and took the quilt.

Although theoretically all the quilts in the hospital were sterilized, Yi Zhe still smelled bad, the quilts were yellow and not very clean.Thinking of Xu Tangcheng carefully wiping the table in front of him when he was eating in a restaurant, and the bed sheet that he lent him when school started, Yi Zhe stretched the down jacket covering Xu Tangcheng up, and then only put the quilt on the position on his chest.

During this process, Xu Tangcheng opened his eyes, but he didn't look at him, so he lowered his eyes and looked at the black down jacket that covered his chin.

I thought that I would have to offend someone again during the infusion, but I didn't expect that Xu Tangcheng didn't make any trouble this time, and he was always very cooperative.The nurse said to clench his fists, and he clenched his fists obediently.

Yi Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, stood aside and stared at the nurse giving him the needle.

"The blood vessels are so thin." The nurse said, patting the back of his hand lightly.

Yi Zhe craned his neck even more because of this sentence, and looked at his hand.Xu Tangcheng's complexion was fair, and the back of one hand at this time could not see any blood, it was frighteningly white.

Okay, how did it happen?

Just seeing the back of his hand like this made Yi Zhe feel sour in his heart, feeling that the person he had always kept on top of his heart had suffered undeservedly and suffered undeservedly.

Before leaving, the nurse told him to watch carefully, be careful not to leak the fluid, and remember to call her when the fluid is almost gone.Although it was a very formulaic and recited instruction, Yi Zhe still nodded repeatedly.Solemnly wrote down these few items, and in the following time, he bent over and sat on the small stool beside the bed, watching with a good eye.

The temperature in the room is always low, the windows are not closed tightly, and there is some air leakage.Yi Zhe got up, and tucked the quilt and clothes for Xu Tangcheng.

At this time, he was no longer flustered as before. After all, Xu Tangcheng was already lying down to receive treatment, and he was no longer in unbearable pain.He also believes that as long as he takes good care of him, he will get better soon and become that healthy look again.

As long as he takes good care of him.

He had barely settled down, but when he thought of this, he suddenly sank down again, and the sense of fear returned as if it had never subsided.

He watched the transparent liquid flow into his body little by little, and on the back of his hand was nestled a thin hose.Suddenly recalled, just now a needle pierced his blood vessel, the nurse squeezed the infusion set, and a small amount of blood flowed back.

Very dark red, coming out of the hose and receding back into his body.

That color was no stranger to Yi Zhe, after all, he had fought so many times and seen blood so many times.But it was really the first time that this color made him feel terrified.

At that time, he was so afraid that his hands were shaking, and he even thought at that moment, what if he didn't receive the call, and if he happened to be out of school and just not by his side, how would he come to the hospital.

I have thought a lot, and it is a false proposition that has long been overturned by reality.But now that he has calmed down, he is afraid that one day, these scenes that he called "what if" will really become a reality.

Thinking of this, I dare not think about it again.

There were always patients and nurses coming and going outside the temporary ward. Amid such noise, Xu Tangcheng seemed to be sleeping restlessly, turning his head and moving his body from time to time.At this time, Yi Zhe would gently hold his hand, carefully protect the place where the needle was inserted, and be careful not to wake him up.And for most of the rest of the time, Xu Tangcheng's body almost maintained the most comfortable posture even with subtle movements.She curled up slightly, her chin was covered by the collar of the black down jacket, only half of her face was exposed.

It's rare for Yi Zhe to have the opportunity to watch over him so quietly, so he remains as motionless as him.It wasn't until my body was stiff that I moved myself slightly to adjust.

Xu Tangcheng fell asleep until halfway through the first bottle of liquid, when the door of the ward was pushed open, and two nurses pushed a girl in.The doctor's diagnosis and treatment were so loud that Xu Tangcheng slowly opened his eyes.

Yi Zhe immediately stood up and leaned in front of him.

"Are you uncomfortable?" He asked quickly.

Xu Tangcheng blinked, as if reacting for a while.It was only then that Yi Zhe noticed that his mouth was so dry that it seemed to be glued together.He obviously moved his jaw to speak, but he couldn't even separate his lips.

"I'll get you some water." After finishing speaking, Yi Zhe suddenly thought that the doctor said just now that Xu Tangcheng can't eat or drink now.

"Don't give him water, he'll have to vomit now. Go get some warm water, dip it in a cotton swab, and wipe his lips."

It was still the nurse who gave Xu Tangcheng the injection just now.Yi Zhe turned around and looked at her, and after a while, he asked, "Where are you going to get it?"

After coming to the hospital for a long time, the questions he asked the most were, where are the things and what should be done about them, as if things that should be common sense, when they came to him, they all turned into a blank without exception.

"Go..." The nurse was already about to leave with her pockets in her pockets, but when she saw the embarrassed expression on the boy who had been overly nervous from just now, she changed her mouth and said, "Wait a minute, I'll bring it for you."

Yi Zhe didn't expect to get such a reply, so he hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, and bowed to him as if it wasn't enough.

The nurse burst out laughing, feeling that the boy in front of her was really sincere.Whether it is worry or gratitude, it is real.She has worked in the hospital for several years and has met all kinds of people, but when she handed Yi Zhe a cup of warm water and two cotton swabs, she thought that a young man who hadn't experienced much in the world and hadn't had time to fully grow should be in this way.He is not so good at taking care of people, and not so good at dealing with emergencies, but he is more anxious than anyone else, and he is more willing to learn than anyone else.

Yi Zhe wiped Xu Tangcheng's lips in the quiet ward again. Those two lips had just been soaked a little, and he heard the girl on the bed next to him say "hands are cold".

The girl next to her is also receiving an infusion, and her mother should be accompanying her on the bed.Hearing she said it was cold, the aunt got up, gave a few instructions and went out.He came back after a while, took a warm water bag in his hand, and applied it to the girl about the wrist.

Yi Zhe looked sideways, thoughtful.

He temporarily clamped the cotton swab to the fingertips of his left hand, stretched out a finger, and carefully touched the back of Xu Tangcheng's exposed hand—the place where the liquid flowed was indeed cool.

After hesitating and thinking for a while, Yi Zhe put down the things in his hands, sat down on the small bench again, and put one of his hands on the upper back of Xu Tangcheng's.It was a little distance away from the tape, but it was just enough to cover where he was hit by the liquid ice.Of course he didn't dare to press hard, but kept hanging on, letting the palm of his hand gently stick to the back of his hand.

Seems to work too.Yi Zhe could feel that the skin covered by him seemed to warm up a little.

After warming for a while, the palms of his hands became a little cooler, so he put his hands together and rubbed them vigorously back and forth.Rub it hot, then repeat it.

Slowly, only the sound of skin rubbing remained in the quiet ward.The aunt on the side noticed the movement on his side, and couldn't help telling him that the hot water bags were sold at the canteen at the entrance of the hospital. It was very close, just outside the building.

Yi Zhe shook his head.

He was the only one accompanying him here, and Xu Tangcheng was unconsciously falling asleep again. It was impossible for him to put him down to buy a warm water bottle.Even if it only takes a moment.

Potassium was added to the last bag of liquid. The nurse said that the hand would hurt if the infusion was too fast, so she slowed down the speed of the infusion set.In this way, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening when all the losses were finished.

The nurse pulled Xu Tangcheng's needle, she opened the door and left, a sharp cry suddenly squeezed into the room, everyone in the room was startled.

Xu Tangcheng hadn't woken up yet, pressing the needle in his hand, Yi Zhe frowned and turned his head to look outside.

The mother in the next bed had already got up before him to close the door. He only saw the blood-stained woman sitting on the ground crying in the corridor from the gap between the door closing.

The girl on the hospital bed at the side seemed to be woken up, and asked her mother what happened in a low voice.Mom touched her forehead, comforted her softly, and said that it seemed to be a car accident.

For a moment, Yi Zhe's thoughts drifted a little.It was obviously just a very ordinary conversation in the ward, a very ordinary scene, but it brought him a great sense of strangeness.

Strangeness, all day long.

He used to be used to closing himself in a small world, sad or not, there was only himself there.Without the presence of a second person, there will be no accidents.He doesn't know where to go to see a doctor, where to get a quilt, or where to find a cup and get a cup of hot water.

Living like that, I will never be like this—in a ward, where everyone is guarding the treasure in their hearts, and someone is gently explaining some things that have nothing to do with me.

Staring at the closed door for a while, Yi Zhe blinked, then slowly turned back.

He has lived in his own world, and he has lived in only himself and his world.

But not anymore.

To him, Xu Tangcheng is no longer just a lonely baby who has been brought into his own world.The situation of being overwhelmed will always only exist in the intersection with the outside world. If he is worried about a person, he will worry about all the bad things, and hope that those things will never happen to him.

Because of him, he had many first-time experiences, and for him, he had to really get in touch with the world.

The campus is like this, the student union is like this, and the hospital is like this.

The mother said she was going to fetch some hot water for her daughter. Before opening the door, she made sure that there would be no more chaos outside, and then she gave a warning and left.

Yi Zhe was still pressing the tape with his hand. He held his hand and looked carefully, and found that he was really thin.Blue blood vessels were clearly visible on the back of the hand, slightly protruding, arched and pale.

He put his two thumbs side by side in the middle of the tape, and rubbed them, gently spreading them to the sides.When it reached the edge, his fingertips turned into his slightly cool skin.

Maintaining this posture without moving, Yi Zhe was stunned for a while.And during this short period of time, he recalled almost everything about him in his memory.From meeting to now.

He didn't know if it was the same for others, but from a very distant time, his memory was very fragmented and chaotic, as if it were just disorderly fragments that occasionally remained in his head.Probably because he lived in a family that never knew when a one-sided war would break out when he was a child. He spent a lot of time, just spent, it was just a change of a number on the calendar, and there would be no Stuff is kept.

But Xu Tangcheng was always different.

They moved in when the younger brother was born.At that time, he was still in kindergarten, and it was the first time he saw Xu Tangcheng. He was wearing a blue primary school uniform with a green school card hanging on his chest.

It was the first time they met. Among the children, he was the only one who obediently raised his head and said to his father, "Hello, Uncle."

Yi Zhe had been staring at the school badge on his brother's chest.There is a one-inch photo on it, with a red background.There are a few lines of writing next to it, but unfortunately he doesn't recognize it.Xu Tangcheng moved from time to time, and the school card swung left and right, swinging back and forth.Yi Zhe didn't even know that his head was moving along with him.

Until the school badge was grasped by one hand, he raised his head, just as he bent down and smiled at himself.

Exactly the same as the photo on the school badge.

It was also strange, even though he was still so young, he already concluded that he was the person with the prettiest smile he had ever seen.

After so many years, not only did this conclusion not change, but he added many labels to the name "Xu Tangcheng".

The one who can talk the most, the one who looks the best in white, the one who rides the most handsome bike.There is also the most secret and most precious one, which belongs to him alone—the person who treats Yi Zhe best.

In the fragmented and boring memory, darkness and blankness are half-covered by the grotesque fragments. In the sea of ​​ups and downs, only the things about him are completely connected into a line.And along this line, he also grew up.

Slowly, Yi Zhe doesn't know when he started to become his perception of the world.

Good and bad judgments, the traces of time, and even...

feeling.

Yi Zhe looked up to see the person on the bed.

The relationship has always been there, but how and when it started to change, he really couldn't tell.

He remembered that in the psychology class, the teacher once said such a passage, to the effect that friendship is the most stable kind of relationship that is maintained purely by emotion.Better than love, better than just having a crush.Even if you and your good friend haven't seen each other for a long, long time, when you meet again, you can spend zero to twenty to ten minutes to bring the feeling of being together before the two people back to the way they were before the separation.You have many friends, but generally only one lover.Suspicion, possession, and concessions, compared to love, these behaviors and thoughts will be weakened in friendship.Many people will not have a love that lasts forever, but they will have many friends who will accompany them for a lifetime.

This was the only passage he listened to seriously in psychology class throughout the semester.When I first listened to it, I didn't take it seriously, and felt that the two were not comparable at all.But at the end, a joke from the teacher woke him up abruptly.

The teacher asked everyone, can this also explain from one aspect what people usually say, you can't "kill familiarity"?

The students below were laughing and whispering.The teacher went on to say, and what is interesting is that once a pair of friends has a relationship beyond friendship, but only if one party intends, then there is a 90.00% chance that this friendship will enter a dangerous period.If they want to survive the dangerous period, either there must be at least one person with high emotional intelligence among them, or there must be at least one person with low emotional intelligence between them.Otherwise, pick out a layer of window paper, and there will be thousands of layers between the two people.

At that time, Yi Zhe met the teacher's eyes, and he thought that his expression must be dazed enough, so the teacher stared at him for a while.

There was a few seconds of blankness in the classroom, and no one knew what kind of long and hopeless he had experienced.

Pulling back his thoughts, Yi Zhe lowered his head and smiled.

So, if you can't say it, you have to keep it in your heart forever.

The ward was surprisingly quiet at this time, and the mother who went to fetch water hadn't come back yet.Yi Zhe looked back, and the girl also closed her eyes.

The walls of the wards are all white. Strange to say, white is probably the color that is endowed with the most emotional colors.Hospitals, weddings, funerals, happiness or sadness, hope or despair, wonderfully run through people's lives.It seems that in a place surrounded by white, everything, even the unspeakable greed and desire that should be buried, can be allowed to be honest with this world.

Yi Zhe held Xu Tangcheng's hand, lowered his head, and lowered his gaze.

It was his fault that his feelings had changed that he shouldn't have.

No more in the future, he will always keep the idea that he was on the way when he came, and he will be by his side with peace of mind, so that when he is sick or sad, he can always make the first phone call without hesitation.

A light kiss landed on his little finger.

From then on, the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns to the road.

After a long pause, Yi Zhe finally raised his head.

He put Xu Tangcheng's hand back on the bed and covered it carefully.

After doing all this, I felt a sense of regret.Putting his hands together on his forehead, he buried his head for a long time before calming himself down a little.He didn't know whether it was because he hadn't had a drop of water for a day, or because he had just forcibly stripped away a part of his emotions that had existed for a long time. He felt numbness in his legs and feet, and this feeling even climbed down his spine to his scalp.He stood up on his arms and legs, and wanted to wash his face with cold water.

But he was caught off guard, and when he suddenly stood up dizzy, he met a bunch of eyes.

The girl next door woke up at some point and was staring at him blankly.

Yi Zhe didn't make a sound, lowered his head, stabilized his body, and walked out with light steps.

The door didn't even make a sound as it closed.

The girl stared at the direction the boy was leaving for a long time before she sighed as if waking up from a dream.She didn't know what kind of story was going on between the two people next door, but such a kiss could bring her too many guesses.

Shocked by the scene just now, I suddenly wanted to take another look at the person who had been lying quietly all this time.

Turning around and looking over, she was surprised to find that the person who had been asleep had already woken up at some point, and was holding up the hand with the adhesive tape on it.

The boy on the bed seemed to notice her gaze, and turned his head slightly in this direction.

This was the first time she saw the boy's face.

Pale, haggard, expressionless.

He only glanced at himself, then turned his gaze to the door.After a while, he put his hands back under the quilt and closed his eyes again.

Like nothing happened.

Every story will have an ending, but there are many, and none will be vigorous and happy.

She suddenly felt uncomfortable, a dull pain in her heart.Because of the eye-to-eye just now, she clearly saw that the tall, silent boy had red eyes.
