Xiao Ran woke up in the afternoon of the next day. The doctor said that he had passed the test and he was in good condition, but he still couldn't speak, and everyone still couldn't go in to see him.

Zhou Li stood outside the glass of the ICU and looked at it for a long time. After two days and a night without closing his eyes, he finally seemed a little tired. He rubbed his sore eye sockets, turned and left the hospital.There was a small shop at the entrance of the hospital. He went in for 2 minutes, and when he came out again, he had already held a lit cigarette between his fingers. Zhou Li's expression looked a little gloomy in the blurred smoke.

He closed his eyes, and flashed many scenes in his mind, such as the hysterical mother's screaming, father's roaring, and the noisy noise of things breaking on the ground when he entered the yard after school. Sharp pain after being hit on the body....

After smoking a cigarette, he took the car keys and started the car to the nursing home. He waited in the yard for a while before seeing his brother come out of the building.

Zhou Xi frowned when he got into the car, "Are you smoking?"

Zhou Li nodded.

"Didn't you quit for almost a year? Why did you start smoking again?" Zhou Xi asked.

"I'm tired, smoke one to relieve fatigue, and I won't smoke in the future." Zhou Li stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove fast on the road.

When they got to the door of the house, Zhou Li helped his brother clean up and got into the driver's seat again, "I don't have an appetite today, I won't eat, you go in."

Zhou Xi didn't move, "Eat less if you can't eat, and come in with me."

Zhou Li turned to look at his brother with gloomy eyes, "I don't want him to see me like this."

Zhou Xi sighed, "Wang Bei hasn't been in a good state for the past two days, so come in, I want to talk to you."

Zhou Li hesitated for a moment. After all, he turned off the car, pulled out the key and followed into the courtyard gate.

Dinner was finished in silence, grandma was watching TV in the living room, Shu Wangbei made tea and brought it to the study.

The three of them sat down around the desk. Zhou Li kept his head slightly tilted, not wanting anyone to see his face.Shu Wangbei also lowered his face, unconsciously clenched and loosened his fingers.

Zhou Xi looked back and forth between these two young faces, resisting the urge to sigh, "What's on your mind, what's on your mind, let's talk about it."

Shu Wangbei looked up at him, "I feel bad, if he just disappears like this, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

"What about you? What do you think?" Zhou Xi looked at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li glanced at Shu Wangbei, but said nothing.

Zhou Xi didn't force him to speak, he turned to Shu Wangbei and asked, "Do you think it's a sin to like someone?"

Shu Wangbei shook his head, "Of course not."

Zhou Xi nodded, and then said, "When something like this happened, I don't think anyone will be in a good mood, but Wang Bei, I hope you understand that the cause of this incident is not on you. , and Xiao Ran's liking for you that was hidden in his heart but could not be put into words at that time, it is not wrong."

"Young love is a beautiful thing, but there are too many variables. If you didn't miss it at the time, then there may be two results. You go on together or break up halfway. After breaking up, you may resent each other and contradict each other. If we go on together, we will not be where we are today. Wangbei, are these two outcomes what you want?"

Shu Wangbei shook his head.

"I think apart from this aspect, the guilt in your heart stems from not discovering what was wrong with Xiao Ran in time, and not giving him help in time. Maybe I'm speaking too objectively, but it's the truth. Xiao Ran has come to this point, with his family. His own personality and way of doing things are all related, even if you found out at the time and pulled him, it may not be the same result today, for him, the role you can play is too limited."

Shu Wangbei lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhou Xi looked at him and sighed, "Wang Bei, you can be depressed for a while because of this incident, but I don't want you to be immersed in self-blame all the time. Okay, you go out, watch TV with grandma and talk , You are not in good condition these two days, she is very worried about you. "

Shu Wangbei looked up at Zhou Xi, "I'm sorry, I was too selfish to notice your feelings."

Zhou Xi shook his head, "Don't think about it, we don't mind, let's go."

Shu Wangbei nodded and left.

Zhou Xi watched his back leave the room, then turned to look at Zhou Li, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Li subconsciously went to take out his pocket, only to remember that he had thrown the newly bought cigarette case into the furnace.He clenched his hands together and exerted so much strength that the veins on the back of his hands were exposed.

"Xiao Ran has many scars on his body, both new and old. Obviously, he wasn't injured when he threw himself into the river. Yesterday when the doctor pushed him out of the hospital, a piece of the bed sheet fell off, and the nurse quickly pulled it back, but I think arrive."

Zhou Li raised his head and took a quick look at his brother, "I think you should be able to see that the fucking state is not right."

Zhou Xi pondered for a while, and glanced back and forth on Zhou Li's face with complicated eyes, "How are you recently? I am gradually recovering now, and Wang Bei can take care of me. Do you want to go back to Beijing immediately? I will contact you at the hospital .”

"No need, don't worry, I'm fine." Zhou Li shook his head and said, "I plan to go back before school starts in September, and I will go there myself if necessary."

Zhou Xi was barely relieved, and he instructed, "Don't hide anything from me."

Zhou Li nodded and emphasized again, "I'm fine."

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Xi asked.

Zhou Li knew what he was asking, and replied after pondering for a while, "I will take care of Xiao Ran's affairs, and I will take care of it to the end."

Zhou Xi understood what he was thinking, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "If you need help from me and Wang Bei, just say so, and we will support you."

Zhou Li nodded, as if he was relieved, and turned his head to look in the direction of the door, "Don't tell him this in advance, I don't want to scare him."

Zhou Xi nodded and agreed, "Actually, he is stronger than you think."

Zhou Li made a decision, and his mentality seemed to relax a little bit. Hearing this, he curled up his mouth and smiled, a bit narrow-minded, "Knowing that your little Wangbei is good, brother, don't show off."

Zhou Xi reached out to hit him, but Zhou Li jumped up from the chair, opened the door and ran out laughingly, shouting as he ran, "Brother, I'm hungry, I want to eat canned food, the sugar water you bought two days ago As for the yellow peach, I've seen it all, don't hide it."

Shu Wangbei stuck his head out from the door of the living room, "Why are you so hungry after dinner, I think you're just gluttonous, you'll die of gluttony."

Having said that, Shu Wangbei still found the canned food from the snack basket in the kitchen. The big bottle was divided into four bowls, and the family of four ate each bowl, and there was not a drop of soup left.

Shu Wangbei watched as Zhou Li took the initiative to clean up the bowls and took them to the kitchen to wash them. He followed behind Zhou Li, stretched out his hand and poked Zhou Li on the shoulder, "You're really hungry, I'll serve you a bowl of noodles." ?”

Zhou Li looked back at him happily, "Okay, I'll become a pig again." After finishing speaking, he touched his face in an unscrupulous manner, "Brother, although you look very ordinary, you are really virtuous, right? It's over."

Shu Wangbei glared at him angrily, and decided to hide all the delicious food at home from now on, and not give any to Zhou Li.

......

Xiao Ran was transferred to the general ward on the fourth day in the hospital. The leaders and teachers of Struggle Middle School all came to see him, and the students in his class also sent representatives to visit once.

Shu Wangbei and Zhou Li didn't go there until the fifth day when everyone was clean. At that time, Xiao Ran was lying on the hospital bed alone, and there was another empty bed next to the room.

Shu Wangbei put the things in his hand on the bedside table, looked closely at his pale and bloodless face, and asked softly, "How do you feel?"

Xiao Ran's gaze stayed on his face for a while, and then he glanced at Zhou Li standing behind Shu Wangbei, "I'm much better, thank you for coming to see me."

Maybe it was because of his weakness, or maybe it was the impact of the intubation in the emergency room. His voice was so hoarse, and every word he said sounded like he had exerted all his strength.

Zhou Li took two steps forward and glanced at the hanging bottle attached to his hand, before turning his head to look at him, "If you can't speak, please keep quiet and take good care of it."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran actually curled up his mouth and smiled, but now his whole body is like a piece of paper, the smile on his face actually makes people feel shocking.

Zhou Li frowned and stopped looking at him. He shook the head of the bed, put a pillow behind him, and helped him sit up, "Let's eat, I've brought you porridge to replenish your body."

Shu Wangbei got up to get the kang table and lunch box, Xiao Ran's eyes followed him, with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhou Li went to the bathroom and threw a towel, grabbed Xiao Ran's hand that was not on the IV and wiped it well, not even letting go of the crevices of his fingers, "Your cousin is too tired and went back to rest. I will take his place with him from now on."

Shu Wangbei arranged all the lunch boxes, and there was a faint smell of medicinal materials in the hot porridge, "I asked the doctor, you can use these medicinal materials for nourishing your body, don't worry about eating them."

Xiao Ran looked back and forth between the two, and asked hoarsely, "Why?"

"We are worried about you." Shu Wangbei said.

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and stopped talking.

Zhou Li exerted his utmost patience, watched Xiao Ran slowly drink the porridge, then peeled an apple for him, cut it into small pieces, and asked him to eat it with a toothpick.

After eating, Zhou Li took another glass of water to rinse his mouth, and helped him to lie down after rinsing.

Shu Wangbei packed up the lunch box, took his things and bent down to look at him, "Xiao Ran, I'm going back first, don't be afraid, Zhou Li will be here with you, just tell him if you need anything, I'll go back The family will prepare delicious food for you and bring it to you at night."

Xiao Ran blinked his eyes, expressing that he understood.

After Shu Wangbei walked for a while, Xiao Ran fell asleep.Zhou Li saw that the medicine in the hanging bottle had almost gone down, so he asked the nurse to come in and pull out the needle once.

Xiao Ran's hands were densely covered with needle holes, all red and swollen.The nurse explained that he used to take a lot of antibacterial drugs every day, and his blood vessels were thin and difficult to infuse, so the result was like this.

Zhou Li frowned after hearing this, and told the nurse to go out. When he came back, he carried a few potatoes in his hand, cut them into thin slices with a knife, and applied them to the needle holes.

When Xiao Ran woke up, Zhou Li was taking a nap on the chair next to him.

As soon as Xiao Ran moved, the potato chips fell from his hands. He lowered his eyes and turned his eyes back to Zhou Li. After looking back and forth on him for a long time, he coughed lightly.

When Zhou Li moved, he immediately woke up.He immediately stood up and glanced at Xiao Ran, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Xiao Ran shook his head, and said softly in a hoarse voice, "I want to pee."
