[Old Paoer] Feibo colleagues - Strangers

Tan Xiaofei himself did not expect that he would see Zhang Xiaobo again in the hospital.

Zhang Xiaobo was wearing a blue-and-white striped hospital gown. After receiving oxygen, not a single hair was shaved from his chestnut curly hair. He was wearing a white net and lay quietly on the hospital bed.Tan Xiaofei stood at the door of the ward, through the small rectangular glass on the door, with a bed in between, looking inside eagerly.

After all, Lao Gong still felt sorry for Tan Xiaofei, and finally agreed to let him meet Zhang Xuejun.So when he heard about Xiaobo's condition from Zhang Xuejun, saying that Xiaobo's skull had been cracked and he was lying in the hospital, not knowing when he would wake up, his hands trembled so much that even the cigarette in his hand could not breathe. I can't hold it steady.

In fact, Tan Xiaofei himself felt strange. At the beginning, he only thought Zhang Xiaobo's appearance of frying cats was cute.He obviously has a pair of black and white eyes, big watery eyes, not intimidating at all, but his face still has a mighty and unyielding little expression, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a little wild cat venting his anger, so I saved it to tease him thought.Later, I found out that although this person is not good, he is trustworthy and loyal, which makes people can't help admiring him.Later, the two had similar backgrounds and personalities, and the feeling of finally finding a similar person in this vast and lonely world made Tan Xiaofei couldn't help wanting to get close to him.

But when exactly did this kind of emotion grow wildly in Tan Xiaofei's heart like weeds, unknowingly occupying his entire heart?Tan Xiaofei himself couldn't tell.

Zhang Xiaobo once asked Tan Xiaofei, if the two of them had not known each other under such circumstances, or had met when they were younger, would they have become good friends?At that time, Tan Xiaofei's answer was... who knows?

No one can tell Tan Xiaofei what he would be like now if he had known Zhang Xiaobo when he was a child.Maybe Zhang Xiaobo's bright smile like the morning sun will dispel the shadow cast by Tan Junyao, maybe he won't have to live so lonely.Every breath and moment, Tan Xiaofei lived the life of his childhood sweetheart with Zhang Xiaobo in his mind.They catch crickets in the courtyard and bully little girls in the alleys.Drink a bowl of soybean juice together in the morning, then skip class together with schoolbags on their backs, and play crazy in the game hall together...

At that time, Tan Xiaofei didn't know where the little throbbing in his heart came from. It was not until he heard that Zhang Xiaobo was injured, that emotion broke through the shackles and gushed out from his chest.It turned out that the throbbing seed had grown into a towering tree long before he knew it.

But the world is too big, Tan Xiaofei didn't know Zhang Xiaobo from birth, he lived in a daze for more than [-] years, and then stood here, tens of meters away from Zhang Xiaobo, without even the courage to open the door to go in.

When Chatterbox came to find him, he happened to see Tan Xiaofei lying on the door, staring inside intently.His slender fingers were pressed against the glass, as if he was about to push the door but didn't dare to go in. There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, very similar to... very similar to Zhang Xuejun who looked at him after he was released from prison. The look of his wife when he was in the portrait.

"Tan Xiaofei." Chatterbox shouted.

Tan Xiaofei turned around and looked at her blankly.

"Master Liu is awake and wants to see you."

Zhang Xuejun took the electrocardiogram while wearing a respirator, and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.Tan Xiaofei came in, stood still in front of his bed, and called softly: "Master Six."

Zhang Xuejun glanced at Tan Xiaofei with his cloudy eyes, his chapped and bruised lips moved, and he managed to utter a complete sentence: "A fight...have we...won?"

Tan Xiaofei couldn't help laughing, and Zhang Xuejun laughed too, but just as he grinned, he almost fainted from the pain in his heart.

Zhang Xuejun's head was sweating from the pain, which scared Tan Xiaofei enough, he hurriedly asked: "Master Liu, are you okay?" He stretched out his hand and wanted to ring the bell to call the nurse.

"Don't bark!" Zhang Xuejun stopped Tan Xiaofei panting heavily, "Let's... have a chat."

Tan Xiaofei withdrew his hand obediently, sat down on the chair next to him, and said softly: "Master Liu, you have won."

Tan Xiaofei didn't say that to comfort Zhang Xuejun, this fight was indeed won by them.As the saying goes, good is good, evil is afraid of violence, and violence is afraid of death. There are such a group of brothers around Liu Ye who are willing to risk their lives for him.A group of grey-haired old men over half a century old, the fighting power unleashed even scared people like Uncle Gong who are used to rolling on the tip of a knife.Tan Xiaofei and his group were originally doing things for money, and no one wanted to spend money without their lives. Naturally, they were like a pan of loose sand, and they were beaten to pieces.But in the end, a group of people were all taken away because of the fight, Liu Ye passed out on the ice, and it was Tan Xiaofei who carried him on his back and walked back to the ambulance on the shore step by step.

"Okay..." Zhang Xuejun sighed softly. These old brothers did not disappoint him. He really did not waste his life in vain.Before he died, Zhang Xuejun had no regrets in his life if he could go crazy like this for a while.

"I'm willing to admit defeat. You can do whatever you want with that statement." Tan Xiaofei said again.

"You bastard really understands the rules." Zhang Xuejun looked at Tan Xiaofei with admiration, "But this time it was me who broke the rules... I sent that statement a long time ago."

Tan Xiaofei raised his head in shock, and then lowered it again. What Tan Junyao was most worried about happened in the end, but Tan Xiaofei knew that this would only be the last straw that crushed his father.The fight above was too fierce, and his father couldn't hold it anymore. Whether there is this pair of bills or not, it is actually the same.

"I'm sorry for you, but you also beat Xiaobo...I can't swallow this breath..." Zhang Xuejun said intermittently. eyes.

"Master Six..." Tan Xiaofei knew that this was probably Zhang Xuejun's last moment, so he asked hesitantly, "Do you want to call Aunt Xia in?"

Zhang Xuejun waved his hand with difficulty. He also knew that his time was approaching, but he still had a few words in the end, and he couldn't close his eyes before he finished speaking.Zhang Xuejun swallowed heavily, and the breathing mask was covered with white mist. Finally, the pain in his chest was relieved, so he opened his eyes and looked at Tan Xiaofei fixedly: "Xiaofei... I know you are different from your father, You child...benevolence...although I'm sorry for doing this to you, but...uncle still has something to ask you...I don't know if you...can agree."

"Uncle, tell me." Tan Xiaofei held Zhang Xuejun's hand and said in a calm voice.

"Xiaobo... don't know if he will wake up or not. I think... I want to ask you, in the future, whether he wakes up or not, you can... take care of him more..." Zhang Xuejun held back Tan Xiaofei's hand, looking at him expectantly.

The reason why he came to Tan Xiaofei was not on a whim, but the result of deliberation while lying on the hospital bed.His group of old brothers, either like the lampshade, with the old and the bottom, or Mensan, who doesn't like restraint, can't live well by themselves.And Chatterbox is a single woman who wants to look good and have a good figure. If Xiaobo wakes up and there are some sequelae, what is going on with her carrying such a burden?After much deliberation, the only one who can be entrusted is Tan Xiaofei, the instigator.

After hearing this, Tan Xiaofei was shocked, looked at Zhang Xuejun in surprise, bit his lip and said nothing.

Zhang Xuejun's eyes slowly dimmed: "You... If you don't want to... I won't make things difficult for you..."

"Sixth Uncle, it's not that I don't want to, it's me...it's me that might harm Xiaobo..." Tan Xiaofei lowered his eyes and whispered.

Zhang Xuejun has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen anyone. Tan Xiaofei only said this, and he already heard what he meant.He slowly let go of Tan Xiaofei's hand, stared blankly at the ceiling with cloudy eyes, and let out a heavy sigh.

Tan Xiaofei stopped talking, he never expected Zhang Xuejun to understand him.He has been a taciturn child since he was a child. He has no mother since he was a child. Tan Junyao treats him as if he does not exist. The brothers around him are afraid of him more than they like him. He is used to loneliness.So when I saw Zhang Xiaobo's smile blooming in the morning light one morning, it was like a person who has been in the dark, suddenly saw the sun, and couldn't help but want to reach out.

It's just that Tan Xiaofei was afraid, once something touched, both sides would suffer... He didn't want to see Zhang Xiaobo's lifeless face again, so he didn't dare to promise Zhang Xuejun.

There was a deathly silence in the ward, except for the regular beep, beep, beep of the electrocardiogram machine.One Zhang Xuejun and Tan Xiaofei were lying down and the other was sitting. They were silent for a long time, and finally Zhang Xuejun broke the silence.His voice was like a dilapidated bellows, panting heavily: "Xiaobo is such an adult, you decide your own affairs...as long as...as long as it's not something that hurts the world, I don't care about it. ..." When a person is about to die, is there anything else that Zhang Xuejun can't take care of?

Tan Xiaofei's eyes became sore, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Uncle Six, don't worry. I promise you, no matter what happens to Xiaobo, I will definitely! I will take good care of him!"

Zhang Xuejun nodded slightly, then looked at the ceiling and sighed almost inaudibly.The surrounding scenery has begun to blur, and now he can probably sleep in peace...

Hua Xiazi and Tan Xiaofei stood waiting in the corridor, the hospital banned smoking, Hua Xiazi could only chew a cigarette dryly, the filter tip was bitten to pieces by her, and the shredded tobacco tasted bitter after swallowing it in his mouth.

From the rescue to the declaration of death, it took just over an hour. When the doctor mechanically declared the rescue invalid, the chatterbox spit out the cigarette in his mouth with a bah: "Zhang Xuejun, I'm fucking you! You're fucking dead. You don’t want to say the last word to me, do you?” Then she squatted on the ground and buried her head, crying loudly.

Tan Xiaofei walked away in a daze, and walked to the door of Zhang Xiaobo's ward without knowing it.The nurses are about to make rounds, and the inpatient department is eerily quiet.This time Tan Xiaofei didn't know why, but he suddenly had the courage to push the door open.

The other patients in the ward were already asleep, and their heavy breathing could be heard in the quiet room.Tan Xiaofei stood still in front of Zhang Xiaobo's hospital bed, the light from the corridor cast into the room, illuminating Zhang Xiaobo's pale face.

Tan Xiaofei reached out and gently touched his bald head, and said softly, "Zhang Xiaobo, wake up." No one responded, and Zhang Xiaobo still closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

"Zhang Xiaobo, you and I will be orphans from now on. But don't worry, I promised your father that I will always... always take care of you!"

Tan Xiaofei gently rubbed Zhang Xiaobo's side face with his slender fingers, then he bent down and pressed a kiss on his cheek: "I promise!"
