Sharp first test

Mingxu felt that everything about him these past few days went too smoothly, so God gave him such a thunderbolt-like retribution from the blue sky.

Waking up the next morning, Mingxu rubbed his eyes, looking at the sleeping person beside him, the happiness in his heart almost overflowed his chest.

Mingxu bent down and kissed Yang Shiqing's forehead, "Get up."

Yang Shiqing felt a little itchy, reached out and stroked the broken hair on his forehead, turned over and continued to sleep.Ming Xu smiled, and slowly stretched his hand into the bed, when the cell phone on one side suddenly rang.

Ming Xu picked it up, his heart sank, this was the first time Aunt Fang called him.

"Is it Mingxu?"

Aunt Fang's voice sounded very anxious, Ming Xu got up and stood by the window: "Auntie, it's me, what's the matter?"

"What can I do! I was too negligent!" Aunt Fang cried out in a weeping voice, slurring Mandarin mixed with dialect, "I fell asleep yesterday, and your mother wanted to go to bed at three o'clock at night. In the toilet, I pulled out the catheter by myself, but I couldn’t stand still and fell by the bed, hitting my head on the bedside table!”

Ming Xu felt his head exploded.

"My mother?" Mingxu could barely feel his lips moving, "Then...then what about her now? How is she now!?"

An uncontrollable growl came, and Yang Shiqing sat up from the bed in a daze, seeing Ming Xu standing at the window talking on the phone, his whole body trembling.

"I woke up when I heard the noise. She was pushed into surgery, and now, she should be coming out soon—ah, Dr. Liu! Dr. Liu!"

"Aunt Fang?"

Ming Xu still wanted to ask, but there was a loud voice from the opposite side, and then the call ended with a slap.

Mingxu felt his eyes darkened, his chest felt uncomfortable, and he was almost out of breath.

Yang Shiqing turned pale: "Auntie..."

Ming Xu picked up his jacket and trousers and put them on, rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the hospital."

Ming Xu had no expression on his face, but the more this happened, the more worried Yang Shiqing became.Yang Shiqing wanted to stop him and said loudly that I would go with you, but it was impossible, the words were choked in his throat before he could say them.

It wasn't until Mingxu took his bag and coat and left in a hurry that Yang Shiqing came to his senses, and ran to the window in his pajamas, watching Mingxu get on the bus with nervous eyes.

Ming's mother's situation is not optimistic. The plaster leg has been abandoned for half a month, and she has long been unsuited to walking on the ground.Ming's mother was hit on the forehead, and the intracranial hemorrhage made her unconscious on the spot.

Auntie Fang explained that her mother had been talking about her discomfort with using a catheter for the past few days.Said that he was almost well enough to get out of bed and walk around.Aunt Fang only thought she was complaining and didn't take it to heart.But I didn't expect Mama Yang to be serious.She slept so deeply at night that she didn't hear the sound of Ming's mother calling her to change the urine bag. Just like that, Ming's mother pulled out the catheter and got out of bed impulsively. As a result, she fell heavily, and the noise almost woke up the patients in the entire ward.

Dr. Liu immediately pushed Mama Ming into the operating room. After nearly four hours of surgery, the situation finally stabilized.

Mingxu almost hated himself to the core, if he hadn't willfully asked to go home on Sunday, wouldn't such a thing have happened?

When Ming Xu arrived, Ming's mother had already been pushed out, regained consciousness, and was lying down in the ward.Mingxu saw her mother's face was pale, with gauze around her head, her eyes were staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Ming Xu stepped forward and held Ming's mother's hand: "Mom..."

Ming's mother paused, then pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Ming Xu." Before she finished speaking, Ming's mother's facial features suddenly distorted, her face showed an expression of extreme pain, and she bent over to vomit.Auntie Fang hurried forward to help Ming's mother with towels and bags. Ming's mother retched for a while, her eyebrows furrowed tightly due to the headache.

"Mom," Ming Xu couldn't restrain himself, he held Ming's mother's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face, "I'm sorry..."

Ming's mother shook her head: "I'm the one who's sorry for you..."

Aunt Fang's face was full of guilt and self-blame: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's my fault, I didn't take good care of Juanzi—"

Ming Xu didn't speak, he couldn't speak, he just buried his head and wept softly, hiding his red eyes in the palm of Ming's mother.

"Doctor Liu said...Fortunately, he was discovered in time, and the bleeding was not much, and all of it was taken out. I may have a little headache and vomiting for a few days, and I can only eat some liquid food for the time being..." Auntie Fang looked at Mingxu again He Ming's mother glanced, "I, I'm going to the hospital cafeteria to get a nutritious meal for Juanzi, Juanzi hasn't had breakfast yet..."

After Aunt Fang left, only Ming Xu and Ming's mother were left in the ward.Ming's mother stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Ming Xu's eyes, wiped his nose again, and said with a wry smile: "Why are you crying, big man. It's my mother's carelessness that added to your burden..."

Ming Xu kept shaking his head, tears blurred his vision.

Yang Shiqing was worried all day and was always distracted in class.There is an in-class test today to prepare for the first mock test at the end of the month.Yang Shiqing couldn't calm down to review, and was a little worried that there would be a mistake in the exam, and he was very irritable.

After school at noon, Yang Shiqing ran home without eating and called Mingxu on his mobile phone, but he didn't get through.

Yang Shiqing really wanted to get on the bus and go directly to the hospital to find out what's going on! ?But there was an exam in the afternoon, and Yang Shiqing knew that he couldn't be so willful.Leaving early and absent from class without reason will be severely punished.Mom and Dad will be very angry too.

But Yang Shiqing couldn't stop himself from thinking wildly.

In the afternoon class meeting, Liu Zhichun briefly publicized the upcoming [-]-day pledge, and then poured a few words of encouraging chicken soup.Most of the students in the audience buried their heads in writing the test papers. Those who listened carefully to him occasionally put down their pens, and Liu Zhichun pointed it out: You just do your own thing, just listen to a few sentences while writing the questions.

At this moment, Yang Shiqing thought of Ming Xu, who was about to take a [-]-day swearing-in, but Ming Xu's condition was too bad.Yang Shiqing was almost going crazy.

Finally at night, Yang Shiqing ran home to make a phone call after the evening self-study, and this time he got through.

"Ming Xu? Are you in the hospital now? How is the situation?"

"Well," Mingxu's mood has stabilized, "Intracranial hemorrhage, but it was discovered in time. But there is something wrong with the left hand, a little broken. I just ate and fell asleep."

"Oh." Yang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you..." Are you coming back here tonight?Yang Shiqing realized the answer in an instant, and silently swallowed the words into his throat.

"Sorry for worrying you."

Yang Shiqing was very serious: "Are you alone now? I'll go and accompany you."

As long as you say a word, no matter how late, no matter how far away, I will immediately rush to find you.

"No need." Ming Xu said, "Auntie, uncle and Teacher Qian have all come here this afternoon. Now I'm with my grandma, watching over my mother. I won't be going back tonight. You should go to bed early and don't sleep It's too late. If you think your room is too damp, you can sleep in my bed."

It's always better to have family by your side.But Yang Shiqing felt unspeakably mixed feelings of sadness.

"Yang Shiqing..."

"what?"

"When Teacher Qian came in the afternoon, I discussed it with him. From now on..." Mingxu paused, and said, "I will study by myself in the hospital at night. My grandma rented a basement near the hospital, and I will move there and Grandma lives with her—until my mother leaves the hospital."

Yang Shiqing froze, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"My mother's condition has deteriorated... If it's not like this, I can't feel at ease." Mingxu said again, "And... family members are always more meticulous than outsiders."

Yang Shiqing couldn't refute, feeling sore and bitter in his heart.

"...But you are working too hard..."

Ming Xu still said the same thing: "Grit your teeth and pass."

Today is Monday.

"Friday is... the [-]-day swearing-in," Yang Shiqing was a little apprehensive, "...will you come?"

Ming Xu paused: "I will."

The results of the in-class exam came out the next day. Unexpectedly, Yang Shiqing did well in the exam, with a total score of around 550, which is considered a very good result.

When Liu Bingyang, the group leader, registered his grades, he deliberately asked a few more questions: "Did you miscalculate your marks?" "The last math problem is quite difficult, did you correct your mistakes?" care about.

After class, Yang Shiqing went to find Tan Yunyan.

"Did Teacher Qian go to the hospital yesterday?" Yang Shiqing was a little nervous, "Did he say anything to you?"

"I still want to ask you. How could Teacher Qian say anything to me?"

Yang Shiqing sighed, and Tan Yunyan asked again: "Mingxu didn't come to class today, will he come in the afternoon? I heard that his mother seems to have fallen again? Is the situation serious?"

Yang Shiqing didn't want to mention it, so he just answered him a few words in a rough manner.Regarding whether Ming Xu will come to class in the afternoon, Yang Shiqing is really not sure.

Yang Shiqing wasn't even sure when he would see Ming Xu next time, which made him very anxious.

Tan Yunyan was also a little worried, with a gloomy face on his face: "Oh, why... If nothing happened, it would be great, Ming Xu will definitely be admitted to a good school, this year's oath was originally planned to stand on the stage as a student representative to read the oath ah."

"A hundred-day swearing-in?" Yang Shiqing was taken aback, "Ming Xu is the student representative?"

"The original plan was that Mingxu and I would attend the speech together on behalf of the senior high school students. Teacher Qian had already reported to the school leaders. But...but this happened, Mingxu gave up this qualification by himself and replaced it with the class. Another girl." Tan Yunyan sighed, "I don't think he has the time or the mood to prepare any oaths right now."

That's right, when something like this happens, it's not what everyone wants to see.

But how unwilling Ming Xu should be.

Yang Shiqing secretly clenched his fists.

There was a break of more than two hours during the lunch break. Yang Shiqing took out his pass and secretly boarded the bus to the hospital.

Ming Xu was busy today taking Ming's mother to take various films and do various examinations. After running around all morning, he finally had the time to sit in the corridor and eat a few bites of boxed lunch.At this moment, he saw Yang Shiqing who was hurriedly trotting down the corridor with his coat in hand, looking around.

Mingxu was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, joy appeared in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by worry: "Yang Shiqing!"

Yang Shiqing heard the voice, and looked in Mingxu's direction. Mingxu put down his lunch box and walked towards him, directly pulling Yang Shiqing by the waist and leading him to the safety stairs.

The two stood at the secret corner of the safety staircase, Mingxu asked him: "Why are you here?"

"Auntie... how are you doing?"

"It's stabilized." Mingxu's tone was a little reproachful, "You came here just after your mother left. Do you know it's still class time?"

Yang Shiqing nodded, "I...will be leaving soon! I just want to see Auntie,...and you."

Yang Shiqing lowered his head when he spoke, a tall and strong boy who looked like he had done something wrong.Mingxu's heart softened again, why didn't he hope that Yang Shiqing could come.Mingxu stretched out his arms to hug him, the two were about the same size, Yang Shiqing's chin rested on Mingxu's shoulder.Mingxu put his arms around him and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry about me. You go back and read the book carefully, you will have a mock test soon, don't let Aunt Yang worry about it anymore."

Yang Shiqing nodded, then looked at Mingxu seriously, and said what was in his heart: "Mingxu, I want you to know—no matter what happens, no matter what happened—now you will not be alone. .You have me here."

Mingxu's heart trembled.

How lucky he was to fall in love with Yang Shiqing.

Yang Shiqing put his arms around Mingxu's shoulder again, and kissed Mingxu's neck vaguely.In this narrow and dark corner, the two big boys hugged each other quietly, as if time had nothing to do with them.
