Xiaoman

The year 29 was a complete nightmare for Liu Xiaoman.

Grandpa was already in a coma when he was sent to the hospital. Liu Xiaoman went through a series of diagnoses after he was dizzy. He heard strange words from the doctor, such as high intracranial pressure and left brain basal ganglia hemorrhage of nearly 30ml. dizzy.

"What...mean?" His mind went blank, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled when he asked.

"It's a stroke." The doctor told him very normally, "It's serious, but what you found was relatively timely, and you didn't move the patient randomly. If it is delayed a little longer or if it is not handled properly, the vegetative state may even die .”

Liu Xiaoman couldn't answer.

He can understand every word the doctor said, why can't he understand it together?

"Then my grandfather, in the future..." He spoke again, the dryness of his throat startled him, he swallowed hard before he could continue to ask, "Can it be better in the future?"

"If you can wake up, your bodily functions will definitely need recovery. Paralysis, loss of grasping and swallowing ability, all of these are possible. The key point is that your grandfather's bleeding is not in the right place," the doctor pointed at the film quickly, "closer to the language center, it will It directly affects speech and literacy, especially for the elderly, and it is very difficult to recover."

"Physical, or speaking and reading?" Liu Xiaoman asked, he really couldn't say anything extra, after asking, he was afraid that the doctor would not understand what he meant, so he forced himself to add, "Recovery?"

However, the doctor could understand what he meant. They had seen too many cases like this. Before Liu Xiaoman asked "recovery", they nodded and said directly: "All of them."

Liu Xiaoman opened his mouth, then opened it again, he wanted to ask why, but couldn't speak.

The doctor looked at one of his incomplete sleeves, sighed almost imperceptibly, and his tone softened a little: "The damage to brain cells caused by cerebral hemorrhage is direct and irreparable. If you can wake up, you will feel a lot of things for a period of time." Confused, you may not even remember who you are or who he is, it will take time to recover."

The doctor said two words "If I can wake up", each sentence was superimposed, and when I heard the last sentence, Liu Xiaoman looked at the doctor and suddenly had a very strange hallucination.

He felt that the doctor was like a fish.

His mouth was opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what he was saying, like fog separated by water, but he didn't know whether he was in the water or the doctor was in the water.

Because he felt that he couldn't breathe, his whole body was soaked and he fell heavily.He wanted to yell, he wanted to yell, he wanted the doctor to speak louder, but he couldn't understand.He didn't understand why it became like this. When he left home in the afternoon, his grandfather was still smiling and talking to him. Why did it become like what he described after a few hours.

Are they talking about a person?

He wanted to ask a bunch of questions, but he couldn't utter a word, and he couldn't even breathe.

"Rehabilitation," Liu Yong was equally confused beside him, he asked the doctor, "Do you just do rehabilitation in the hospital?"

"Rehabilitation center." Facing the adults, the doctor spoke faster again, "After the dangerous period is over, you can contact yourself."

"The fee..." Liu Yong still wanted to ask.

Liu Xiaoman shivered violently, he felt like a balloon filled with water, Liu Yong's last sentence finally crushed him.

"what--!"

He bent over hysterically and let out a cry.

The doctor took a step back cautiously. The patient's family members couldn't accept that this kind of situation is very common, but the child's reaction was too sudden. Until the last second, his face was only pale, at least he looked calmer. Startled him.

Liu Yong was also frightened, and followed the doctor and leaned back. He stared at Liu Xiaoman in a daze, and stared at the strange son with his mouth open, not knowing what to do.

"what--!"

Again.

This time Liu Xiaoman directly squatted down on the ground.

He couldn't stand anymore.

At the same time as the second cry erupted, the door of the department was pushed open. Xia Liang rushed in from the corridor, picked up Liu Xiaoman, who was unsteady, and wrapped it in his arms and took it away. He nodded at the doctor: " Sorry, I'll take him to calm down first."

He carried Liu Xiaoman into the safe passage of the corridor, and the heavy safety door closed with a "squeak", and he immediately held Liu Xiaoman's face and called him, "Liu Xiaoman, look at me."

Liu Xiaoman couldn't look at him, he had no strength, the oxygen in his chest seemed to be completely emptied by those two shouts, and he could only make a breathless "drinking" sound.Tears flowed out of his eye sockets unstoppably, he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't want to look, his body swayed violently and slipped straight down.

"Liu Xiaoman, Xiaoman, breathe!" Xia Liang supported him, stroked his chest, let him breathe, "I'm here, nothing happened."

Liu Xiaoman looked at him through thick tears, his lips were still trembling.

"Liu Xiaoman, I'm here." Xia Liang's voice was low and steady, "I'm Xia Liang."

He numbly turned the name of "Xia Liang" twice in his mind, and he regained consciousness a little, followed by a more vivid and intense pain.

It hurts like digging my heart and lungs.

It hurt like a fist piercing the heart.

The chest was squeezed and sucked to the extreme pain.

"...Xia Liang, brother Liang," he choked and called out the vague name, finally regained his composure, grabbed Xia Liang's chest and pressed his head against it, putting all his weight on it, helplessly like a child Weeping loudly, "I'm in so much pain!"

Xia Liang hugged him tightly and closed his eyes.

"I know." He followed Liu Xiaoman's back, "I know."

Human emotions are really amazing things.

After crying out with all his strength, Liu Xiaoman shivered and forced himself to calm down, and managed to calm down.

He couldn't cry anymore, he had to save his energy to take care of grandpa.

Grandpa was still observing in the ward after the operation, Liu Yong didn't know where he was, and Liu Xiaoman sat in the corridor by himself, but didn't look for him.

He doesn't want to see him.

After venting completely, his state of mind at this moment is very tired and peaceful, feeling that his brain is turning slowly, and every blood vessel is flowing slowly.He didn't think about anything, he didn't even want to know what Liu Yong said and did to make his grandfather so angry that he had a stroke.

Although the doctor said that this is a common disease for the elderly, even if it is not stimulated, it may occur suddenly, Liu Xiaoman still insists that he must not be separated from Liu Yong.

Before Liu Yong came back, he couldn't tell how good his life was with his grandfather, but at least he had a grandfather.

Xia Liang went out for a while, and when he came back, he brought him a lunch box and hot soy milk from a convenience store. Liu Xiaoman didn't have an appetite to eat, so Xia Liang opened the soy milk for him to drink, and tore open a seaweed kimbap for him.

"It must be eaten." Xia Liang handed it to his mouth, "You have to eat even if you are not hungry. If you don't eat, you can't take care of grandpa."

Liu Xiaoman took the rice ball and chewed it down.

I can't even remember what it tasted like.

"You eat." He pushed Xia Liang's lunch box to him.

It was only when he opened his mouth that he realized that his voice was already hoarse.

"Why is it so loud..." He adjusted himself and smiled.

"I've eaten it." Xia Liang looked at him, passed the soy milk to him again, and said softly, "Now I know that my voice is hoarse? I didn't even listen to what happened to you just now. It frightened the doctor to stagger."

"I didn't even notice." Liu Xiaoman smiled embarrassedly.

Although there is no feeling of what I eat, neither hunger nor fullness, the body regains its strength on its own.Liu Xiaoman felt that it was okay to go out by himself now, so he asked Xia Liang, "What time is it?"

"09:30." Xia Liang took out his phone and glanced at it.

At the same time, he saw the eye-catching number "14" behind his mother's missed call.

He slid it off and tucked the phone back.

"Are you okay if you don't go home?" Liu Xiaoman was a little worried.

"Well, it's okay." Xia Liang touched his face.

"Then can you stay here for me for a while?" Liu Xiaoman asked him again.

"To the bathroom?" Xia Liang pointed in one direction, "Go along there."

"No." Liu Xiaoman shook his head, "I'll go home, the surgery fee and what... I have to get the money."

"This point?" Xia Liang laughed, "Sit down with peace of mind, everything that should be paid has been paid. Didn't I tell you, I'm here."

"No." Hearing what Xia Liang said, Liu Xiaoman couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up directly.

No matter how hard he counted, he understood the concept of surgery. Xia Liang was rich, but it was all money from his family, so no matter what, he couldn't let him pay for it himself.

"What's the rush, I didn't say I'll give it to you." Xia Liang didn't move, he raised his hand and dragged him back to sit down, "I'm borrowing from you, all these things will be over in the future, and your grandfather's health will also heal, you take your time Fold it to me."

"Fold?" Liu Xiaoman frowned.

Also discount breakfast ah?

Eat until the next life?

"Fold it whatever you want. You can fold it for money, rice, or whatever you like." Xia Liang said, "Fold whatever you want, until the end."

"Brother Liang is rich." Xia Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled to himself.

Liu Xiaoman looked at him for a long time, he would definitely return the money to Xia Liang, and he would go to get the money tomorrow at dawn, but right now he really didn't know what to say.

These days, such a sudden blow, such a chilling Liu Yong, and Xia Liang, who stood between them and himself, were really like his superheroes.

"Where did you get so much money?" Liu Xiaoman choked out for a long time.

Even if his mother spends money away from home every day, she shouldn't... right?

For a high school student, no, it should be said that from his point of view, no matter how you think about it, the money is not a decimal.

"Do you know there is something called stocks?" Xia Liang asked him casually.

Of course Liu Xiaoman knew about it, and he also knew that middle school students made a lot of money trading in stocks every now and then on the news.

But knowing that you are sitting next to one, it feels so different.

After all, judging from Liu Xiaoman's environment and perspective, making money can only be done through work, and no matter what, it has to be something after the college entrance examination.

"Are you speculating in stocks?" He blinked.

No wonder I always look at my phone.

"Play." Xia Liang said, "Don't stare at the fried food, I'm not addicted."

"Can anyone be fired?" Liu Xiaoman was still a little clueless, always feeling that this was something from another world.

But if it happened to Xia Liang, it wouldn't be that strange after thinking about it.

He is so smart, it seems that he can play tricks on everything.

Moreover, Xia Liang is good at mathematics, even if he doesn't study hard, although Liu Xiaoman doesn't understand the way, but being good at mathematics is equal to being good at logical thinking, and being good at logical thinking can definitely be used to make money.

"It's fine to open an account when you're an adult," Xia Liang said.

"Then I," Liu Xiaoman stammered, pointing to himself, "Can I try it in the future?"

"You?" Xia Liang's eyes bent, "It's like hands and feet, it's hard to type a few words."

"Tch." Liu Xiaoman also smiled.

After laughing, he was still worried, and asked Xia Liang in a low voice, "Do you really have enough money?"

Xia Liang thought for a while, and drew a rough number with him.

Liu Xiaoman was a little surprised in his heart.

"Good luck." Xia Liang said.

"Brother Liang is really amazing." Liu Xiaoman narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"I see Qian's eye-opening thing." Xia Liang flicked him.

After the topic of adjusting emotions passed, Liu Xiaoman's heart was still too heavy to lift up.

Grandpa didn't know how long it would take to wake up. Although he was reluctant, he couldn't let Xia Liang stay here with him.

"You go back first." He said to Xia Liang again.

"I left you?" Xia Liang asked him back.

"I'm right here." Liu Xiaoman said.

Xia Liang ignored him directly, and pressed Liu Xiaoman down on the horizontal chair, pillowing his legs.

"Close your eyes and don't think about anything." He wiped Liu Xiaoman's eyelids, put his fingers into his hair and stroked them, looking down at his trembling eyelashes.

"Go to sleep. When you wake up, Master will wake up." Xia Liang said to him.

Liu Xiaoman thought that it was impossible for him to fall asleep, not to mention the heavy things on his mind, even in this environment he couldn't fall asleep.

But not only did he fall asleep, he fell asleep quickly.

With a little self-avoiding hypnosis, he longed to be like Xia Liang said, when he opened his eyes, he found that everything was just a dream.

When Liu Yong came back, it was nearly an hour later, Liu Xiaoman was still awake, grabbing Xia Liang's clothes and buried his face deeply.

Seeing him appearing in front of him, Xia Liang didn't react in his heart other than looking down on him, he raised his eyelids and didn't even bother to shout.

"I'm going back to get the money." With a strong smell of cigarettes on his body, Liu Yong sat down opposite Xia Liang and looked at Liu Xiaoman curled up on Xia Liang's lap.

Xia Liang didn't speak, and pulled up the hat behind Liu Xiaoman's clothes to cover him.

"But they said they paid it." Liu Yong moved his gaze from Liu Xiaoman to Xia Liang's face, from Xia Liang back to Liu Xiaoman, and then back to staring at him, "Is it... you?"

"En." Xia Liang responded without raising his eyes.

"I..." Liu Yong's Adam's apple twitched, his voice sounded like a man's dignity had fallen to the bottom, "Thank you in advance."

Xia Liang continued to remain silent.

Liu Yong waited for a while, changed his forward leaning posture a bit awkwardly, put his arms on his knees and continued: "The doctor said that if you wake up later, you have to go to a special rehabilitation hospital for treatment, and it can't be a rehabilitation hospital." point, I don't know the specifics, I asked about the approximate cost..."

It may be the last ray of self-esteem that prevented him from saying the number, and turned to pursing his lips dryly, and finally said the second half of the sentence with difficulty: "The money may be, but I can't pay you back for the time being."

Xia Liang finally looked at him again, his eyes met across the corridor, and it was Liu Yong who looked away first.

It's kind of amazing.

Xia Liang thought in his heart.

The two fathers were so useless that they couldn't even say that he and Liu Xiaoman were not a pair arranged by God.

"Can I ask you something?" He said softly.

Liu Yong looked back again.

"In his bones, he is not expected to be a father. Where did he have the guts to give birth?" Xia Liang stared straight at him.
