Euthanasia

It was dark when the two sneaked back to the hospital.Jon went into the bathroom first, took off his coat and changed it, revealed the hospital gown inside, let Liu Zhiwei hold it, and then let Liu Zhiwei push him back to the room as if nothing had happened.

As soon as they entered the room and turned on the light, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Zhiwei and Jon froze instantly.They didn't expect that there was actually a person sitting in the darkness - Lu Yi.

Lu Yi stood up, looked at them blankly and said, "Good evening."

Liu Zhiwei is fighting with both sides, and has a sense of sight of being caught by the class teacher for doing bad things in elementary school.

"Where did you go?" Lu Yi looked at them and said.

"Hmm..." Liu Zhiwei was about to speak hesitantly, but was interrupted by Jon: "Go downstairs to the garden for a walk."

"Turn around the smell of food?"

Jon and Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Jon came to the rescue in time: "By the way, have a meal."

"I ate for four hours," Lu Yi added rigorously, "from two o'clock in the afternoon to now."

Both Liu Zhiwei and Jon became dumb.

Lu Yi stared at Jon, pointed to the unopened documents on the small table and said, "What do you think we should do with this?"

Jon rubbed his nose, thought he was unlucky, stepped forward to pick up the file bag, looked at Lu Yi with a pair of dead fish eyes, opened the file bag in front of him, took out the files, and placed them on his quilt one by one until The entire bed was covered.

"Are you satisfied?"

Lu Yi crossed his arms and said nothing.

Jon got into bed with the help of Liu Zhiwei, and began to pick up one of the documents from the bedside with an unhappy face.

Lu Yi said to Liu Zhiwei: "Come out with me."

Liu Zhiwei made a funny face at Jon's winking and went out with his head down, closing the door behind him.

Lu Yi took Liu Zhiwei all the way to the end of the corridor, where Jon would never hear their conversation.Liu Zhiwei admitted his mistake obediently and said: "I shouldn't have taken him out without saying hello, but we are not in any danger, we just went to archery and eat. Jon should really go out for a walk, he is always bored in the ward He's lonely too..."

"What did you eat?" Lu Yi asked him.

"Crab, crab meat stew," Liu Zhiwei said, "He likes to eat this very much. I think sometimes it can make him leave the doctor..."

"That," Lu Yi interrupted him, "Is there any delivery service?"

"……what?"

"If I can make him read the documents honestly with a meal, I think it's a great deal." Lu Yi said solemnly.

Liu Zhiwei picked out his ear: "You, you don't care if I take him out casually?"

"He is free," Lu Yi said, "Why should I forbid him to go out?"

Liu Zhiwei feels that his usual way of thinking has been being challenged.

"This is not a prison, and he is not a prisoner. Rather, I hope he can go out and see more, to arouse his desire to survive." Lu Yi's expression became more serious, "And you know that he looks at Regardless of that document, how much will the Hurricane market change in the second half of the year? That is the weathervane of more than a billion dollars."

Liu Zhiwei began to feel unreal again.He couldn't help but recall the scene of Jon eating crab meat with his mouth full of oil before he could return to reality.

"However, you should go to work tomorrow," Lu Yi said, "Your manager has already called me."

Liu Zhiwei suddenly remembered that every time he entered Jon's ward, he would subconsciously turn his phone to silent, and he didn't turn on the sound when they came out.Liu Zhiwei quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The screen was full of missed calls.

Mom, it's over.Liu Zhiwei looked at the text messages again, and there were more than a dozen unread text messages.

"Call your agent," Lu Yi said, "you don't have to come tomorrow, let Master Williams read the documents for a while. He will get carried away when you come." Lu Yi said and left.

Liu Zhiwei didn't have time to think about Lu Yi's words, so he quickly called Xu Ting back.

As soon as Xu Ting picked up the phone, he asked, "Where are you? Are you still complete?"

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine, Jing Yin forgot before..."

"That's good." Xu Ting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Your safety issues are higher than all your work issues. Next time, read the information in time."

Liu Zhiwei was flattered and embarrassed at the same time, scratched his head and said, "It's okay, what else can happen to me..."

"It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before," Xu Ting said. "Every year, artists commit suicide and disappear, some due to psychological factors and some due to malicious competition."

Liu Zhiwei was a little terrified. He has been an artist for ten years. He has seen a lot of people who just entered this circle and quit this circle. He has never seen someone who committed suicide and disappeared.Liu Zhiwei felt that what Xu Ting said was too exaggerated, but the other party had good intentions, so Liu Zhiwei willingly admitted his mistake. "I won't next time, I must check my phone. Brother Xu, is there anything important?"

Only then did Xu Ting say: "The director is very satisfied with your first day's filming. After all the roles are confirmed, we decided to make an official announcement early. The stills will be released at noon tomorrow, and you have a scene to film tomorrow. Let me confirm the itinerary with you." .”

Liu Zhiwei quickly said, "No problem, I'm free."

After Xu Ting and Liu Zhiwei confirmed the plan to pick up Liu Zhiwei early the next morning and the subsequent itinerary, they talked about the issue of the house. Only then did Liu Zhiwei remember that he hadn't read those brochures yet.

"Hey...Brother Xu, give me two more days." Liu Zhiwei said.

Xu Ting said: "Okay, but as soon as possible, you don't want to wait for you to become popular, and someone will see which neighborhood you go in and out of at any time. This will probably bring a lot of trouble to the people who live with you."

Liu Zhiwei did not expect this.He hadn't become popular before, so he didn't have a strong awareness of the trouble he would cause to others.But Xu Ting reminded him this way, and he also felt that he couldn't just stay at Lu Yi's house forever. Lu Yi said that he was his life assistant, and the main service was Jon, not only Jon, but also Jon's company Hurricane.

After Liu Zhiwei hung up the phone, he thought about going back to choose a house. As soon as he stepped into the door of Jon's ward, he heard Jon say inside: "Who made the decision? It took me half a year to upgrade the system to completely compensate for the loophole in coverage. It took you half a month to update the 'new system' with bugs?"

Jon's tone was cold and mocking, just like when Liu Zhiwei first met Jon, he looked like a person from another world.Liu Zhiwei stood still outside the door, did not push the door open, but quietly looked at the man sitting on the hospital bed and having a video conference through the glass on the door.

"Charlie? He doesn't even know how to spell Python, you make him the decision-maker?"

"I know!" A roar came from the computer.

"Shut up, I spent three months around the clock to get the speed up by [-]% and you burned my mainframe the next day."

Jon picked up the documents on the bed scribbled: "I don't want to read a word of these things. If you can't fill that loophole, Hurricane will lose more than one billion in the next six months."

"Jon, Jonathan has been biting very hard. Their speed is no slower than ours. If we don't have a new version, the 'T-Rex' will be one step ahead..."

Liu Zhiwei stood outside the door and was taken aback again.Hurricane is a leading IT company, but Tyrannosaurus rex is no stranger to him. It is the company that created the Narcissus system and has a huge user base. In some cases, it is almost on par with Hurricane.

Liu Zhiwei quickly took out his mobile phone and searched for Tyrannosaurus Rex on the search software.

The search results came out quickly, and Liu Zhiwei was sure that the Jonathan they were talking about was the leader of the Tyrannosaurus rex.

"How many times have I said," Jon said angrily, "Don't think about T-Rex, it's just Jonathan's strategy, their technology is immature, and the editability of Narcissus makes them face more trouble in the closing stage .All you have to do is to do your own thing well, and the decision-making is the decision-maker's business!"

Jon paused at this point.It is true that he let go of the position of decision maker.

Even the computer was silent for a while.

Jon suddenly closed the screen without warning, the computer turned on for a while and then quickly went black.

Jon covered his face with one hand.

Liu Zhiwei stood there for a while, knocked on the door, and cautiously put his head in.

"Are you... finished?" Liu Zhiwei asked tentatively, "Can you help me choose a house?"

Jon's body suddenly sat upright, and his hands wiped from his forehead to his chin vigorously, deforming his handsome face.He turned his head and said to Lu Yi seriously: "Send Charlie to Jonathan. Send it this week, preferably today."

Before Liu Zhiwei went back, Jon asked him to leave all the brochures of the house that Xu Ting gave him, and Liu Zhiwei kept it, and told Jon the bad news that he had to go to work the next day.

Jon waved his hand readily, as if he didn't care whether Liu Zhiwei came or not.

Liu Zhiwei opened the drawer to look while he was going to the bathroom, and the two small bottles of medicine he had seen earlier in the drawer were gone.Liu Zhiwei was vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't say anything to the natural-looking Jon.Before leaving, Liu Zhiwei finished peeling the apple for Jon and said, "You wait until I finish filming and come back to share with you."

Jon waved his hand casually again.

Late at night, Lu Yi came back very late.He rarely seized the time when Jon was willing to work, and immediately got a lot of work done.When he got home, he found the lights were still on.Liu Zhiwei poked his head out of the kitchen when he opened the door: "Brother Lu? Are you back?"

Lu Yi asked about a very fragrant smell.

"Seeing that you came back late, I made you some supper." Liu Zhiwei said as he brought out a bowl of light minced meat porridge.It is a delicious millet porridge.

Lu Yi suddenly felt that it was a waste to arrest Liu Zhiwei's young man and let him marry Jon.

The porridge smelled so good that he was not happy to refuse it.

Seeing Lu Yi sit down, Liu Zhiwei also sat next to him and stared at him.

Lu Yi took two bites, and asked uncomfortably, "Say what you have to say."

Liu Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief.After much deliberation, he felt that he had to tell Lu Yi, the person who knew him best, about Jon's state, just in case.

"Brother Lu, Jon's bedside table..."

Lu Yi's hand stopped.

Liu Zhiwei collected himself and said, "Jon seems to still want to die by euthanasia."

Lu Yi put down the spoon.

"When Jon was in America, there was a gun in the nightstand."

Liu Zhiwei was so frightened that he almost stood up.

"There is only one bullet in the chamber," Lu Yi said, "You know what that is for."

Liu Zhiwei's heart was completely pumped, and he stared at Lu Yi with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Euthanasia is the mildest suicide method he has chosen, even if you tell me that one day he stabs his heart with an apple-peeling knife, I won't be too surprised." Lu Yi lowered his eyes, "He is a depressed patient. "

Liu Zhiwei opened his mouth wide, his throat was stuck for a moment and he was almost speechless.

"Depression? But he..." Liu Zhiwei spoke incoherently, "He can laugh, make jokes, and..."

"You know many comedians, like Chaplin, Mr. Bean, etc., they suffer from depression?"

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment and frowned.

"They seem ordinary, ordinary, and laughing in the eyes of others, but you never know their inner world," Lu Yi said, "any words you say may hurt them, and everything about them may also hurt them. It's an illusion. And they have to work so hard to maintain that illusion."

Liu Zhiwei couldn't believe it.

Lu Yi said: "This is also one of the reasons why I sent him here. We have nothing to do. I know that changing to a new environment may be a big risk, but I hope he can get out of the old shackles. Seeing the other side of the world. Here he won't see the people who hurt his heart, and it won't remind him of some past events, he is new. I hope he can see this as a new life after death , and this—worked."

Lu Yi looked at Liu Zhiwei: "I'm glad we chose the right person, Zeo."

Liu Zhiwei didn't quite understand what Lu Yi meant.He stared at Lu Yi in a daze, feeling both shocked and disturbed.He had thought about why Jon had to be euthanized before, a person who was alive, why should he be euthanized.He checked the information on euthanasia and watched countless videos of euthanasia. Some people were lying on the bed and asked to inject him with lethal drugs, and some people voluntarily and happily took poison.All this made him feel absurd and weird.

Liu Zhiwei sat firmly on the chair until Lu Yi finished his porridge, got up and went to the kitchen to put the bowl into the sink, Liu Zhiwei woke up suddenly.

Lu Yi came back and pressed his shoulder and said: "Jon has decided his own death half a month ago, so every extra day he lives here is a gift from God to us, and you let him live Days, too, will be something to thank God for before he actually goes to die."
