under the filth

After Tang Songyuan left, no matter how softly Lu Sheng tried to comfort him, Tang Cen's body was still twitching non-stop. In desperation, Lu Sheng could only ring the bell and call the doctor to deal with it.

The moment the needle pierced into the flesh on Tang Cen's arm, Tang Cen suddenly began to struggle violently.Lu Sheng was concerned about the injury on his wrist, so he didn't dare to use force. Tang Cen scratched his left arm and shoulder with long red marks.

The tranquilizer took effect not long after it was injected (injected) into Tang Cen's body. Tang Cen slowly let go of the hand that was holding Lu Sheng's shoulder, and his twitching body also slowly relaxed.

The doctor had heard the commotion in the ward long ago, but seeing Lu Sheng's worried expression, he told him again: "The patient is only awake, and his consciousness is not so clear yet, try to avoid emotional stimulation."

"Okay, thank you doctor." Lu Sheng helped Tang Cen to lie down on the bed slowly, and carefully tucked in the quilt.

Seeing Tang Cen's peaceful sleeping face, Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.But not long after, his heart was raised again.

The doctor gave Tang Cen only a small dose of sedatives. Given Tang Cen's physical condition, he would wake up the next morning at the latest, but Lu Sheng kept watch all morning, but there was no sign of Tang Cen waking up.

"His body is still very weak, and he has been stimulated again. I'll come and see him again in the afternoon." The doctor checked again, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Will the tranquilizer cause damage to his body?" Lu Sheng was worried that the tranquilizer would cause damage to Tang Cen's body. After all, he didn't know much about Tang Cen's condition, and he got very little information from the housekeeper. .

The doctor gently touched the gauze wrapped around Tang Cen's wrist, and then withdrew his hand after confirming that the wound hadn't burst open or leaked: "Normally, this dose won't cause damage, but his condition is special, so we need to observe it again." .”

Lu Sheng didn't know whether to be happy or worried when he heard such news, but he finally came to a conclusion.

After guarding Tang Cen in the hospital for so many days, Lu Sheng realized that he knew almost nothing about Tang Cen's thoughts and past, but tied him by his side regardless.

Lu Sheng pieced together Tang Cen's past life piecemeal from the housekeeper's unintentional leaks.He knew that Tang Cen's illness was not caused by himself, the biggest problem was Tang Songyuan, but Tang Cen became what he is now, and he also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Lu Sheng thought so, and so did Tang Cen's uncle.

While Tang Cen was still in a coma from the sedative, Tang Cen's uncle Su Yuqing finally approached him.

After worrying all day, Lu Sheng barely closed his eyes. After the doctor left, he finally couldn't help but propped his chin up and dozed off.When his jaw slipped from his hands for the first time, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Lu Sheng woke up instantly when he heard the sound of the door opening. He stood up and looked at the man standing outside the door vigilantly, and the man outside the door was also looking at him.

After staring at each other for a long time, the man spoke first: "I heard that he had a boyfriend, and I thought that so-called lover had left him long ago. Don't be so nervous, I'm Tang Cen's uncle, Su Yuqing. "

Tang Cen's uncle?Lu Sheng repeatedly chewed on this title.In his memory, Tang Cen never seemed to mention his family members other than his father, nor did the housekeeper.Although I don't know what Tang Cen's uncle thinks of Tang Cen, it can still be seen from this detail that the relationship between them is not close.

"What's the matter with you? He hasn't woken up yet." Lu Sheng issued the eviction order as tactfully as possible. With Tang Songyuan's precedent, he dared not let any of Tang Cen's "family members" into the ward easily.

Su Yuqing was a little surprised to hear Lu Sheng's tone. He looked at Tang Cen on the hospital bed, and took a deep breath when he saw the white gauze wrapped around his wrist: "I'll come and see him."

"I haven't seen him for more than ten years. He has grown up so much." Su Yuqing walked up to Tang Cen and stood still, looking at his pale face, he said with emotion, "It really looks like his mother."

Lu Sheng was taken aback, Tang Cen's mother seemed to be a taboo in the Tang family, Tang Songyuan seemed to hate her extremely, and the housekeeper refused to say more.Lu Sheng felt that this man who claimed to be Tang Cen's uncle might be able to tell him something about Tang Cen's mother.

"What kind of person is Ah Cen's mother?" Lu Sheng was a little hard to ask this question, but in a passive situation, he had to learn more about Tang Cen's past.

"She loves her child as deeply as all mothers in the world. When she first conceived this child, her sister was very happy and looked forward to his birth every day." Recalling her sister, Su Yuqing showed nostalgia on her face , but his face changed in the next second, "But not long after he was born, my sister passed away."

Lu Sheng was not too surprised by Tang Cen's mother's death. He had never heard Tang Cen mention his mother, and he had long agreed in his heart that Tang Cen, like him, was a child who grew up in a single-parent family.

"It was suicide. Before he was born, my sister suffered from depression during pregnancy. I only found out about it many years after she died, but we had almost no contact with the Tang family at that time." He pulled the hospital bed away. Sitting on the chair next to him, he watched the drowsy Tang Cen calmly, "I thought Tang Songyuan could at least treat this child kindly after his sister died, but I didn't expect him to..."

Su Yuqing looked at Lu Sheng, the dim light in his eyes made Lu Cheng freeze in place in shock.His brain lost the ability to think at that moment. He watched the man in front of him open his mouth, his lips moving up and down: "I heard that depression is hereditary."

That sentence made Lu Sheng stand stiffly in place for a long time. He felt as if the blood in his body was frozen, and his hands and feet didn't feel hot at all.

Seeing Lu Sheng's shocked look, Su Yuqing took out a business card from his coat pocket and put it on the bedside table: "Please take care of him during this period, please call me if you have anything to do, I will come and see him again."

The man's words kept echoing in Lu Sheng's mind, and he didn't even notice when the man left.Finally, under Tang Cen's short and rapid cough, Lu Sheng came back to his senses: "Ah Cen!"

However, facing Lu Sheng's delighted call, Tang Cen just glanced at Lu Sheng slowly with his empty eyes, then turned his gaze back, stared blankly at the ceiling for a while and then closed it, lying quietly, saying Say nothing.

With a stiff smile on his face, Lu Sheng looked at Tang Cen cautiously.Tang Cen was greatly stimulated yesterday, and now he does not dare to mention his uncle's matter with Tang Cen, and this is the first time Lu Sheng has seen Tang Cen put on such an attitude of refusing to communicate.

Lu Sheng scratched his hair irritably, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the business card on the bedside table.After stuffing the business card into his pocket, he strode out of the ward.

After Tang Cen woke up, he didn't speak a word to anyone for several days, and he didn't even pay attention to the doctor's inquiry during the examination.Most of the time he was either staring at the ceiling with his eyes open in a daze, or lying on the bed and sleeping. Only when he saw the sun shining on the bed through the curtains, would he struggle in panic.

One afternoon, Lu Sheng was talking on the phone with Su Yuqing outside.Tang Songyuan paid all the expenses of Tang Cen's hospitalization, but he hardly asked Tang Cen. Only Tang Cen's uncle would often ask about Tang Cen's situation.

Tang Cen was woken up by Lu Sheng's voice on the phone, the door opened a gap, and Lu Sheng's voice still came in clearly.When he saw that ray of sunlight coming in from the gap in the curtains and shining on the white sheet, he was stunned for a moment, and then frantically shouted Lu Sheng's name: "Lu Sheng! Lu Sheng!"

Lu Sheng, who was on the phone outside the door, rushed in almost immediately. He looked at Tang Cen who was curled up on the bed and kept calling his name. Pick it up: "I'm here, I'm here."

"Pull it up! Pull it up!" Tang Cen kept shrinking into Lu Cheng's arms, pointing tremblingly at the small patch of warm yellow light on the bed.

Lu Sheng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw nothing but a piece of orange.Contacting the "pull up" that Tang Cen kept chanting, Lu Sheng suddenly had an unbelievable idea.

He let go of Tang Cen, walked to the window and closed the curtains that had been blown open by the wind.When the small patch of sunlight was once again blocked by the curtains, the frightened expression on Tang Cen's face gradually subsided, and it returned to his usual expressionless expression.

After the sun disappeared, Tang Cen lay down on his own, pulled up the quilt with his uninjured hand and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.Seeing his behavior like this, Lu Sheng realized that Tang Cen had an inexplicable fear of the sun, so he closed the window halfway again to prevent the curtain from being blown open again.

After doing this, he walked to the bed and picked up the mobile phone that had just been thrown aside.Su Yuqing on the other end of the phone heard the sound and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"I can't tell you on the phone, is it convenient for you to come?" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Sheng would definitely think it was an unbelievable thing.

Hearing what he said, Su Yuqing also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately hung up the phone after announcing the time.

That night, Lu Sheng told the other party everything.

"How is he now?" The door of Tang Cen's ward was opened a small gap from the outside, and the older man who looked somewhat similar to Tang Cen stood outside the door, through the gap Watching Tang Cen lying on the hospital bed.

Lu Sheng stood behind him and looked at Tang Cen along the gap.When Su Yuqing asked about Tang Cen's situation, Lu Sheng showed embarrassment: "The doctor said that the stitches will be removed in two days, but...it's still not very good."

"Still the same?" Su Yuqing withdrew his gaze and turned to look back at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng nodded and remained silent.

Su Yuqing let out a long sigh, and tightly clenched his arms with his arms around his chest, wrinkling his sleeves with such force: "Did Tang Songyuan ever visit him again?"

Looking at Tang Cen who was lying quietly on the hospital bed, Lu Sheng replied honestly, "No."

It was no surprise to get such an answer. Su Yuqing looked at the stubble on Lu Sheng's chin, took out his mobile phone, and sent several numbers and addresses to Lu Sheng: "After the doctor informs you to leave the hospital, I will send someone to take you to the address. There will be a doctor to treat him later, if you need anything, just tell me."

Lu Sheng looked at the messages on his phone and remained silent for a long time.

He knew that Tang Cen's condition was not suitable to be sent to the hospital for treatment, and he was not capable of doing this for Tang Cen. Although Su Yuqing's attitude was a bit harsh, compared to Tang Songyuan, at least he cared about Tang Cen's condition.

So although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
