coexist in vain

Ward

Du Yichen, who was half lying on the hospital bed, had a rare leisure these few days.Looking at the ceiling and the infusion tube all day long, I am bored.The book that Young Master Jiang Yi promised to bring to him has disappeared.

"How does the wound feel today?"

Fortunately, there is also Mrs. Li Heng.

Du Yichen turned his head, "I wish I could lie on the bed and not get up?"

"How dare you." Li Hengtai turned around and locked the door before walking to the hospital bed.

"What is this for, to kill and silence?"

"If you want your life, you can't take advantage of it now." Li Heng smiled too and took out a small transparent vacuum bag, "LEO asked me to give it to you."

"Why didn't he come in person?" Du Yichen looked at Li Hengtai warily.He wouldn't trust anyone so easily.

"The team leader is naturally very busy." Li Heng shook the small bag in his hand, "it helps the wound heal quickly. A small scar like yours can be cured within two weeks if you take one tablet orally."

Du Yichen took it half-believingly.

"It's not peaceful recently. The second group has serious disputes, and the second group's sniper mission failed." Li Heng too deliberately lowered his voice.

"How come..." Du Yichen frowned slightly.Regardless of the truth or lies that Mrs. Li Heng said in front of him, he had to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Du Yichen put away the medicine and took a deep breath.

The wall clock on the wall froze forward.

After get off work at six o'clock every night, it was Jiang Yi's time to visit.

Du Yichen took small bites of the apple that Mrs. Li Heng had peeled and cut into pieces for him, and silently looked at Jiang Yi who was sitting on the sofa by the door to handle business.The cooperation between Menghai and Zheng's enterprise also fell through because of that assassination.

"If you are busy, go back first, I can do it alone."

"Huh?" Jiang Yi finally looked up from behind the computer, "It's okay, I'm here with you. You can sleep if you want."

"Oh." Du Yichen put the fork that he had been biting into his mouth all the time back into the empty fruit bowl, and nestled back under the quilt boredly.

Under the computer lights, it can be clearly seen that the corners of Jiang Yi's mouth are raised happily.For some reason, being by Du Yichen's side made him feel at ease like never before.

He couldn't help but slowly stop working, and looked up at the thin man on the bed who could only lie flat and sleep.

All this is because of myself.The mood then turned to annoyance.How painful it must have been for such a thin person when he was shot at that time.Jiang Yi thought, but he was as kind as he was, but he blocked a shot for himself abruptly.

He opened Du Yichen's information sent by his assistant today.

It's not suspicion, it's just that I'm used to intrigue.

Du Yichen's information is simple and clear at a glance.Jiang Yi looked at his biography.

Abandoned by his biological parents since birth, he grew up in an orphanage when he was a child, and was adopted by an ordinary old couple at the age of six. The 11-year-old couple passed away, and he returned to the orphanage.Later, they were adopted by two families at the age of 12 and 15 respectively, but they were sent back to the orphanage after a short time.Later, when he arrived, he went to college by self-study, and made a living by singing in bars and social assistance.

Is a tough guy.Jiang Yi thought of the pair of eyes that left a deep impression on him when they first met.His gaze was as calm as the sea, and his pupils were clear.The whole person feels like a glass of plain boiled water.Not as tempting and dangerous as a brightly colored cocktail, but comforting and equally memorable.

It is not known why the adoptive family abandoned him repeatedly.No wonder why he said last time that he has no family anymore.Jiang Yi, who is used to being indifferent and indifferent to the world, looked at him in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

The world is not scary.

The frightening thing is that all living beings disperse, the prosperity fades away, and for the next endless time, day and night, you can only live alone.

"It's time to take medicine." Nursing Mrs. Li Heng walked in softly with a glass of warm water.He nodded politely to his employer, Jiang Yi, who was sitting on the side.

Mrs. Li Heng helped him to sit up and handed him water and medicine.Du Yichen took a look at Jiang Yi who was so absorbed in his work that he didn't notice this side, and mixed the pills he had been holding in his hand for a long time into the medicine prescribed by the hospital.

Li Heng, who was silent, blinked too much and smiled.

Du Yichen took the water cup and drank the medicine, then lay back on the bed.

"If Mr. Du keeps cooperating like this, the wound will heal soon." Mrs. Li Heng said some words that are often used to comfort patients and help them regain their confidence.

"It doesn't matter if you raise it for a while, the most important thing is to take care of your body." Jiang Yi continued without raising his head.

Half an hour before taking the medicine, Du Yichen only felt excited, and there was a cloud in his mind, mixed with countless thoughts.It wasn't until he faintly felt dizzy that Du Yichen suddenly said in surprise, he forgot to ask about the side effects of this medicine!

It's just that it's too late now.In a trance, Du Yichen only felt that the sky and the earth were the sky, and his whole body seemed to be thrown into a vacuum of illusory space. His body seemed to fly lightly, but his eyelids were heavy.He struggled to open his eyes a crack, and suddenly found himself standing on the edge of this illusory space, precariously.

Is that... home?

Du Yichen looked at the family that appeared in the space.It was the first old couple to adopt themselves, and they were laughing and talking.There are fewer wrinkles on the face, and the spirit is much better.The little baby in his arms is himself.He was eager to see clearly, but unexpectedly he jumped over the old couple on the road as soon as he took a step, and what appeared in front of him was the warm little apartment where he spent his childhood again.

The air is filled with the rich aroma of milk, and his favorite old-fashioned record player is humming intermittently.Du Yichen saw the three-year-old himself in the arms of the old woman, listening to him tell the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.He was never allowed to call them mom and dad because of the age gap.But the first word he learned to say was indeed mother.

Mom...Mom...he saw himself stumbling and babbling, and in the blink of an eye he was already 12 years old.Mommy mommy!look!I won No.1 in the school singing competition!Mommy mommy! 12-year-old Du Yichen cheered happily, as if the whole world was bright.Well, our baby is awesome.The gentle woman hugged herself gently and gave him a rewarding kiss.

Then my 15-year-old self.Some indifferent, some helpless.He watched himself walk into that happy home, and entered the small attic like a transparent person.The childless young couple adopted him, but the good times didn't last long, and they had their own child a year later.So Du Yichen's position immediately became awkward.

Don't abandon me, don't send me back to the orphanage, please... Dad!

He is my dad, not your dad!go away!Damn!

"Mother……"

Jiang Yi, who was about to leave after packing up, suddenly heard a whisper.

Dreaming?When he walked to the bed, he saw Du Yichen shouting with a smile on his face, "Look! I won No.1 in the school singing competition! Mom!"

Du Yichen didn't look very pretty when he smiled, but he was able to capture Jiang Yi's heart in a strange way.

The word 'Mom' pokes at the softest and most vulnerable place in Jiang Yi's heart.

mom.

This is a word that I have written in my diary thousands of times, but I dare not say it once.

Jiang Yi gave up the idea of ​​leaving, sat down by the bed, and quietly looked at Du Yichen who was in a 'sleep'.

Soon his expression changed from joy to sadness.

"Don't abandon me, don't send me back to the orphanage..."

His pitiful begging was like a soft sharp sword, piercing into Jiang Yi's heart, making him feel so oppressed and painful, but when he wanted to pull it out, he was powerless to hold it.Undoubtedly, Jiang Yi saw another shadow of himself from Du Yichen in his sleep.

That Jiang Yi is fragile and fragile, lacking love and helpless.That Jiang Yi is not so indifferent, not so callous.The thing that Jiang Yi longed for... He looked down at Du Yichen who was already in tears.What Jiang Yi yearns for is just like you, but a haven where he can shelter from the wind and rely on.

Like a ghost, Jiang Yi stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the cold tears on Du Yichen's cheeks.

"Take me home Mom, please...Mom..."

Du Yichen's tears wet the pillow towel like continuous autumn rain.

"Don't abandon me...I want to go home..."

Family.

This warm and safe word moved Jiang Yi.

He wiped away Du Yichen's tears with his fingertips, gently bent the corners of his mouth, leaned down and kissed his forehead lightly.

Du Yichen, I'll take you home.

When Du Yichen opened his eyes the next day, he found that Jiang Yi had already sat down beside his bed.Can't help being a little frightened, "You... why are you here? Are you not going to work today?"

"I'm here to discuss business with you today." Jiang Yi seemed in a good mood. "Although the layout of the house cannot be changed, what kind of decoration style do you like? Gothic, Athens, Japanese or Chinese?"

Du Yichen looked at Jiang Yi without knowing it, "You want to move?"

"Well, it counts." Jiang Yi nodded, "One you, and my home."

"What?!" This time he was completely frightened, Du Yichen's eyes widened, filled with horror.

"Don't make that expression." Jiang Yi also realized that the sudden suggestion might be a bit abrupt, and explained, "Last night you had a nightmare and asked to go home, so I thought, maybe I can give you a home."

nightmare?Du Yichen tried his best to recall, but only vaguely remembered that he was thrown into an illusory space, and then he saw his own past like hell.

Shouldn't...

He looked at Jiang Yi's serious expression, lowered his head and secretly scolded Li Heng for making himself miserable.

If you guessed right, the side effect of the drug is to paralyze the nerves and make people have irresistible hallucinations.I don't know how bad I was last night that made Jiang Yi so abnormal today.

"Give me a home?" Du Yichen couldn't help laughing at the strange brain circuit of the young master, "Mr. Jiang, I appreciate your kindness, but forget it."

Home, how can you give it casually.

"Because I don't have a home either." Jiang Yi wanted to look into Du Yichen's heart.

"What about your dad?"

"Father has his home, not mine."

When it comes to that iron-blooded father, Jiang Yi will inevitably feel lost.Back then, it was his father who sent him abroad for further studies, forcing him to give up his beloved hip-hop dance to study economics, and return to China to take over the family business.He loves his father, but he hates him even more.When I was a child, I hated him for being strict in discipline and giving very little family affection; when I was young, I hated him for □□□□□, forcing myself to give up the dance I loved and follow the path he arranged step by step.

Looking at Jiang Yi's lonely expression, Du Yichen somewhat understood that he was born in a wealthy family and couldn't help himself. He sighed involuntarily, and continued, "I want a room for myself."

"Okay." Jiang Yi nodded, and suddenly realized, "You agreed?"

"That's right. We don't have a home." Du Yichen sighed inwardly, as expected, he was too soft-hearted.

"dudu~"

Du Yichen, who hadn't heard someone call him that for a long time, couldn't help but tremble, "Who taught you to call me that?"

"You said it yourself in a nightmare last night. Dudu is your nickname, right?" Jiang Yi smiled slyly, "Since we will live together in the future, don't be so unfamiliar. I will call you Dudu from now on."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you." Du Yichen suppressed Huo and smiled, "Xiaoyi."

"What did you call me?"

"Xiao Yi." Du Yichen half-sat on the bed, looking triumphantly at Jiang Yi's teeth itching with hatred but still unable to hit someone.

"...Forget it, I don't care about you." Jiang Yi thought about it and let him go.

Du Yichen saw that he was holding the brochure of the furniture city seriously, and carefully marked the items he liked or needed with different symbols.There is a layer of warmth in my heart, like the warm sun in the winter afternoon, soft and long in the atrium.

If only we could be friends.He sighed, it's a pity that he is destined to be your enemy, Jiang Yi.
