I and Slag attack his brother HE

Duan Qing was temporarily out of danger.

was sent back to the intensive care unit.

Jiang Hang didn't go to the ward anymore, in fact he didn't dare to go, he didn't dare to face the sad Mrs Duan, let alone see Duan Qing's pale face.

That face has always been smiling at him.

Now he was dying, lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household celebrates the Lantern Festival.

It was supposed to be a red lantern hanging high.

Big cars and small cars on the side of the street are driving on the road that has just snowed, and children are holding the hands of adults, carrying little red lanterns, and crossing the checkered stone bricks step by step.

"Ah, dad, today we want to eat glutinous rice balls, what kind of stuffed glutinous rice balls should we eat when we go home?"

"What kind of stuffing do you want to eat?"

"I think... I want to eat black sesame stuffing!"

"haha ok!"

……

Jiang Hang was wearing a white windbreaker, and the sky began to snow again. It was dark and foggy, and it was clear that it was sunny before.

He was walking on the cobblestone road of the street, surrounded by all kinds of cheerful shops, the cold wind blew his collar, and young lovers wrapped in scarves and holding hands flowed past him like light and shadow.

A person.

There have been two of them before.

Duan Qing also once held his hand, walking on the street like an ordinary person.

"Ahang, marry me."

"OK……"

recent memory,

But it seems to have been a thing of the previous life.

Jiang Hang accidentally tripped over a rock on the side of the road.

Pfft!

Fell to the ground.

The dry grass rustled, his head started to hurt again, his whole body was spinning, and he fell directly towards the trash can full of small advertisements.

"Be careful--!"

Suddenly a hand grabbed his arm.

Only then did Jiang Hang not hit the metal plate of the trash can.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

The man supported him, quickly patted the grass clippings on his body, and said in a worried voice, "Ah, why don't you look at the road? Such a big trash can... Ah! Jiang Hang?!!!"

The tone suddenly became familiar.

Jiang Hang's mind was confused, and his confused eyes turned to the person who was supporting him.

"Jiang Hang?"

"You are……"

"It's me!" The man couldn't help being surprised when he saw such a strange expression on his face, he quickly helped him to the public chair beside him, sat down,

"I'm Xia Le! What's wrong with you!"

"Xia, Le...?"

"Lele!"

Not far away, another urgent call suddenly came.

Lin Sihan ran out from the gate of a supermarket with big and small bags in his hands.

Jiang Hang finally regained his composure.

Lin Sihan also ran up to the two of them, and was really surprised to see Jiang Hang who was very weak and sitting on a bench.

"Jiang Hang?"

"……haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Hang smiled weakly.

"Long time no see...well, I..."

Lin Sihan saw Jiang Hang's eyes lowered, staring at his hand,

And Xia Le's hand.

On the ring finger holding the bag, it is a little dazzling.

It is a very delicate diamond ring.

This time Lin Sihan was not as awkward as before. Although he was still blushing when Jiang Hang looked at him, he took Xia Le's hand generously and showed it happily in front of Jiang Hang.

"We...are going to get married next month!"

ring...

Lovers get married.

very nice.

Jiang Hang raised his head, reached out and held the two overlapping palms.

"That's great, Xia Le, Director Lin, I'm really happy for you..."

The sky is full of snowflakes.

People who love each other can stay together for a long time.

Jiang Hang looked at Xia Le who was full of smiles, and remembered that not long ago, he was very happy to sneak out with him in the island country to see Niulang.

Then he was thrown into prison because of being misunderstood.

In the end, Duan Qing stepped forward and brought him home.

At that time, Duan Qing was still fine, he could still lie in Duan Qing's arms and act like a baby without any restraint.

But it felt like it was a lifetime ago.

Rejecting Xia Le's invitation, Jiang Hang walked back to Duan's house alone, braving the growing snow.

He had never walked such a long way alone, such a long way, from afternoon to night.

The moment he opened the door, he was greeted by an empty and cold living room.

Oh yes, the servants have all been sent home by him.

At that time, he already felt that he might not be able to stay in this world of books for long, although other people here, including Xia Le and Lin Sihan, were not from the real world.They are just paper man made by Duan Qing to repay him.

But Jiang Hang still remembers their goodness, those people's patience with him, their tolerance for him, and the happiness they once brought him.

I hope... before everything is over, those who have met in this world can have a warm ending on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when families reunite and eat Lantern Festival.

Holding on to the railing, Jiang Hang walked up the spiral staircase step by step to the master bedroom on the third floor.

open the door.

Before leaving, the clothes and quilts were thrown into a mess.

That day, in this room,

Jiang Hang lost control.

Duan Qing finally woke up, hugging him with all his strength,

stroking his forehead tenderly,

tell him,

"Don't be afraid, Ah Hang, I'm here."

Jiang Hang walked and walked, walked and walked, the places he passed countless times in the past four years seemed to be strange all of a sudden, from the main entrance of the bedroom to the big bed in the inner bed, it was obviously a path of bouncing and bouncing a few steps on weekdays ,

He felt that this time, he had walked a long time.

thump!

Jiang Hang fell on the big bed.

Between the white mattresses, there is still the blood that was shed on Duan Qing that day.

Some fishy, ​​some moldy, Jiang Hang's stomach can't bear these smells at all.

But he still pulled the quilt from the bed to his arms and held it tightly.

Head buried deeply.

Because there is a clear taste in it.

"This may be the last time in my life that I can remember this warmth..."

boom!

There was a loud bang outside the window.

Jiang Hang looked up,

Outside the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, under the snow all over the sky, a bright red firework rises from the ground, penetrates into the night, and blooms gorgeous light in the foggy purple sky.

What a nice view……

Yes, he remembered!

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, City C was allowed to set off fireworks.

boom! boom! boom!

Immediately afterwards, another colorful firework rose into the sky and bloomed in unison.

Jiang Hang dragged the quilt and walked to the French window.

The beautiful fireworks reflected brilliant brilliance in his eyes.

He really wanted to, really wanted to watch a firework with Duan Qing...

Fireworks are meant to be with the person you love the most, sitting by the balcony railing and embracing each other, so that you can reach out and hold the short but brilliant light.

During the four years he was in the book, he was warmed by Duan Qing, which was the shortest but most beautiful time in his life.

Jiang Hang felt tears slipping from his eyes again and flowing into his mouth.

But the corners of the mouth slowly raised upwards.

Actually... that's enough.

For him, he can meet someone who loves him deeply and whom he loves in his lifetime. Even after this period of time has passed, he can no longer remember that there was such a relationship with such a person, but his life is only so many years.

He knew he had it.

enough.

"Hey, boy, where are you going?"

"Go to...industrial building."

"Is that the tall building opposite the hospital in City C?"

"Uh-huh."

"Are you going to a festival?"

Many young people nowadays like to celebrate festivals in shopping malls.

Jiang Hang leaned his head against the car window, looking out at the bustling city.

"……Um?"

The driver starts to apply the accelerator.

"Are you celebrating the festival alone? I understand, I understand, find a lively place..."

"How about... let's go to the city hospital first."

"……clear!"

I don't know if Mrs. Duan and the others are still in Duan Qing's ward at this point in time.

Although... I know that I am not qualified to go there.

but still think,

Want to see each other before leaving!

because……

Step by step, Jiang Hang entered the floor where the intensive care area is located.

Duan Qing's ward, through the glass panel, can see the faint light revealed inside.

Mrs. Duan was sitting inside, lowering her head and talking to the doctor.

The doctor stretched out his hand and took out Duan Qing's thermometer.

took a look,

The expression is heavy.

Just as Jiang Hang wanted to move forward, when he saw this moment, he suddenly felt,

I can't lift my legs.

As if filled with lead,

I can't move forward anymore, I can't walk forward.

……

A faint cry.

Mrs. Duan seemed to be covering her face, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

Jiang Hang stood far away in the empty corridor, so far away from the ward,

can see.

forget it.

It turned out that there was no need.

He quietly walked outside the door of the ward, leaning against the wall, and gently placed a clean white envelope in his hand by the wall of the door.

"To Duan Qing."

And then again, quietly, away.

No trace was left.

The sky outside is no longer snowing, and the moon shows a small head from behind the dark clouds,

Sprinkle the brightly lit earth with gentle light.

The day in the first month is still very cold.

The elevator display quickly jumped from "1" to "40".

"After all, it is the tallest building in this neighborhood..."

Jiang Hang stepped out of the elevator and climbed up to the roof of the top floor of the industrial building.

Push open the heavy door.

Empty, several large characters of "Industrial Building" standing on the edge of the open air, swaying in the wind.

Concrete floor covered with snow.

"Duan Qing..." Jiang Hang sat on the edge of the platform that day, leaning on the swaying three-dimensional characters, and looked slowly, slowly towards the opposite hospital.

The floor where Duan Qing's ward is located.

There, there are the people he loves the most.

That person has protected him for many years.

Now that person's life is in danger.

The only one who can save him is himself,

own death.

and so……

"Duan Qing."

Crystal tears flowed from the corners of Jiang Hang's eyes,

Stand up slowly from the table.

Then he straightened his back and looked at the starry earth, the white light in the ward,

He suddenly remembered the day when he first met, the rain was pouring, and the car carrying the boy pierced into his world like a ray of redemption.

"Sir, do you need a bed warmer? Five hundred a night, I'm satisfied!"

"..."

"gentlemen?"

"it is good."

"My name is Duan Qing."

"It's Duan Ling's younger brother."

"Are you Jiang Hang?"

"I can be nice to you, but on one condition."

"Be my lover."

"I will support you for the rest of my life."

Not for a lifetime.

Jiang Hang smiled, and finally, when the moonlight illuminated the entire dark blue sky,

Gently, heels off the countertop.

Swish-!

The wind is blowing.

The city lights are shining.

— Farewell, short but splendid love of my long life.

boom!

Duan Qing lying on the hospital bed suddenly opened his eyes,

As if sensing something, he stumbled up from the bed.

Then desperately, he tore off the oxygen mask.

The ground is shaking, and everything around is twisting and disintegrating.

He finally, at that last moment, crawled to the door,

I got the envelope with dried roses pinned on it.

"Ahang..."

——To Duan Qing.
