song for the city

The first thing Nana does when she wakes up is to look for Ah Cheng.

Her right eye was swollen, and she couldn't even open it. There were blood scabs on her lips, and her speech was slurred, as if her mouth was filled with water.Xiang Pei leaned over and listened several times before he heard that Nana was asking about Ah Cheng's whereabouts, so he could only prevaricate Ah Cheng's business.

There is something to do now, lies cannot be fooled, of course Nana guessed, trying to sit up, but her body would not allow it.

It hurts, every part seems to be dismantled and hastily stitched together.

Nana pieced together a complete sentence: "Let him... come back."

"He'll be right back, he just went out to buy something." Liang Zhang winked at Pei.

Liang Zhang held Nana's hand, only to realize that her hand was cold and seemed to have lost its temperature.

Suddenly remembering his grandfather's death, Liang Zhang went to touch his hand in front of the hospital bed. The place covered by red age spots was only cold, and the blood stopped flowing. Grandpa was isolated in the world.

The hospital bed is a bad memory for Liang Zhang, and so is the coldness.

Liang Zhang wanted to warm Nana's hand, so he held it tightly, but Nana didn't respond, maybe because she didn't have the strength.Her breathing could be heard, but it was too faint. She looked sluggish and lifeless, like a shriveled doll, still being stitched together by countless threads, and the threads were crooked, barely covering the messy wounds.

But even if the wound no longer bleeds and hurts, can the injury disappear?

It gets dark early in the summer night, but it is only six o'clock, and the sky outside is already gloomy and oppressive.

The air conditioner was turned on in the ward, and the temperature was just right, not too hot or cold. Liang Zhang sat on a chair and watched over Nana, and gradually became sleepy, his head dropped every now and then, and he would lift his head back every time his lips were about to touch his chest.Xiang Pei looked at it for a while, but he couldn't get tired of watching it, and unconsciously swayed slightly with Liang Zhang's frequency.

After reacting, there was already a photo of Liang Zhang in his mobile phone.

The resolution of the mobile phone is very low, and the color of the photo is very light, but the sharp and obvious outline looks like Liang Zhang, with a cropped head and long eyelashes.

Of course, the long eyelashes are not visible in the photo. The long eyelashes were imagined by Xiang Pei in the photo. Liang Zhang's eyelashes are too eye-catching, imprinted in Xiang Pei's mind, he is too familiar.

Breaking away from the half-dream and half-awake state, Liang Zhang found that Xiang Pei beside him was gone.

There were three people living in the ward, and the other two were old people. They were eating, and one of the old people's sons, daughters, and grandchildren all came, and the small ward was completely blocked.In summer, the ward seemed to be celebrating the new year. The younger generation went one by one to wish grandma get better soon, Shoubi Nanshan and so on. Liang Zhang's mouth twitched when he saw it. There is no need for such a big battle to visit the sick, it's too weird .

Seeing that Liang Zhang was looking for someone, one of the old men warmly reminded: "The young man who was with you just went out."

Nana was sleeping, her breathing was steady, and the temperature of her hands had recovered, so Liang Zhang went outside to find Pei.

The corridor of the hospital was very long, Xiang Pei was standing at the end, many people walked past him, but he remained motionless.The window was half-opened for air circulation, and his hair was fluttering slightly, only Liang Zhang could see it.

The sky outside was overcast, like a storm was coming, and there was wind, but it was still suffocatingly hot.

Xiang Pei had a cigarette in his mouth, Liang Zhang just wanted to remind him, but saw that the cigarette was not lit, he was just holding it.

"What are you thinking about?" Liang Zhang nodded to Pei's shoulder and asked him with a puzzled expression.

"I..." Xiang Pei took the cigarette from his mouth and wanted to put it back in the case, but he was robbed by Liang Zhang halfway.Robber's posture was quick and precise, not ruthless, as it should be, Liang Zhang's fingers brushed Xiang Pei's fingertips, and Xiang Pei didn't have time to react.

Unexpectedly, Liang Zhang put the cigarette in his mouth and bit it with his teeth.The head is wet, smelling like Pei's mouth.

"What's it like to smoke? Is it addictive?" His expression seemed yearning, and he asked again, "Am I so cool?"

Turning to Pei, he covered the cigarette case and put it back in his pocket, saying, "Smoking, drinking, and fighting, do you want to learn it all?"

His tone sounded unhappy, as if he was dissatisfied with Liang Zhang's "learning to be bad".Liang Zhang was puzzled. He would not comment on fights. Smoking and drinking are not a serious problem. Adult men basically smoke and drink, and the habit is not all formed in their youth.

The unlit cigarette was thrown into the trash can by Liang Zhang. He lazily said, "I haven't learned how to smoke yet, and I won't learn it in the future."

Xiang Pei said nothing, pursed his lips and looked at the gray sky outside the window.

The atmosphere cooled down, and the hospital was the quietest place again. After being silent, Liang Zhang remembered that they had a conflict this morning. To be precise, the conflict had been laid since last night, because the conflict between Nana and Nana was put on hold. Representative does not exist.

"What were you thinking just now?" Liang Zhang asked again.

Xiang Pei said, "I'm thinking about how much sister Na hurts, and how many animals there are in the world."

People cannot be simply divided into good and bad. No matter how kind a person is, he has his selfishness. No matter how bad a person is, he may have a soft side, but animals are not worthy of being human. There is no duality. There is only a bare wall full of disgusting words .

Liang Zhang frowned: "He is not as good as an animal."

Xiang Pei tacitly agreed that every time he felt hopeless about the world, it was at such a moment.

It doesn't make sense to scold behind his back, and the animals can't hear him. Liang Zhang is more worried about Ah Cheng. He has been away for almost a day and hasn't come back yet.

Liang Zhangdao: "Do you think Brother Acheng will do stupid things?"

Xiang Pei thought for a while, and said: "If it was Brother Ah Cheng who I just met, he would have chased and beat people with a stick if someone stepped on him at that time. But he has matured a lot now, especially with Sister Na, you shouldn't do anything out of the ordinary."

I really can't imagine how impulsive Ah Cheng was before. Liang Zhang's impression of Ah Cheng is a taciturn and depressed middle-aged man.

"Then what did he do?"

Xiang Pei shook his head: "I don't know either."

Nabo's family members, who didn't know whether they were visiting patients or paying New Year's greetings, finally left, and the ward finally became quiet.The old lady also apologized sincerely, because the family insisted on coming, which made Liang Zhang feel embarrassed.

Nana woke up and her condition improved a lot. She said she was thirsty, and Liang Zhang was busy pouring water for her.

Because of her lip injury, Nana could only drink water with a straw in small sips, and she didn't have the strength to drink too much. She drank a glass of water for a long time before she finished it.Liang Zhang asked Nana if she wanted any more, she shook her head: "You guys go back first, I can stay here by myself."

Xiang Pei Buyi said that he would wait for Ah Cheng to come back before leaving, otherwise he would not be at ease, Liang Zhang also echoed by the side, anyway, they had already said hello to Youjing, and they could not go tonight.

Nana held back her tears for a long time.

There are two old ladies in the clinic. The elderly don't watch TV or read books. They love to chat and ask questions when they see young people.

"What are these two handsome boys to you?"

Nana was drinking porridge, and she smiled when she heard this: "Brother, they are my real brothers."

She emphasized the word "pro" and blinked at Liang Zhang and Xiang Pei. Her eyes were swollen, and the way she blinked was laborious and weird, but it just made Liang Zhang feel warm and moved.

Strangers who meet by chance can also be regarded as family members, Liang Zhang never thought of it before.

Nana's face was injured, and she couldn't really see her original appearance. The old woman said, "I see. I think these two young men look alike. Miss, you must be very good-looking."

Liang Zhang glanced at Pei, but he really didn't think there was any resemblance between them.

Nana lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know..." She touched the wound on her face, "Will there be a scar?"

"Even scars are the most beautiful. Besides, I asked the doctor, and he said that there is a high probability that there will be no scars."

Nana staggered with a smile, and joked, "Xiao Zhang, how did you learn to be glib? Let's leave the boasting ability to your future girlfriend."

Even during the conversation, Liang Zhang still felt an unknown gaze behind him, he turned around and Xiang Pei was not looking at him.

It's an illusion, Liang Zhang thought silently.

It was almost dark until Ah Cheng came back. He was shrouded in low air pressure, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

When Nana asked him what was wrong, he didn't say anything, just hugged her in his arms, kept kissing the top of her head, and rubbed her hands distressingly.

It was all sadness, and Liang Zhang was also sad, the relaxed breath during the meal disappeared completely, and there were no traces left.

"sorry..."

Ah Cheng tossed and turned and said sorry, Nana said nothing, and answered "It's okay" in his arms after a long time.She really thinks it's okay, it's not Ah Cheng's fault that it became like this, it's her own fault, for doing a career where humanity can be completely wiped out.

She had lost her self-esteem a long time ago, and that thing couldn't be eaten. Even if she was treated like this, she couldn't get too angry.

Ah Cheng seemed to be dazed, and finally he said: "I want to take you away, immediately."

No one took his words seriously, not Nana, not even Liang Zhang and the others.

Ah Cheng sent Liang Zhang and Xiang Pei out of the hospital, without mentioning what he did today, but thanked them in a low voice, and invited them to dinner another day.

Speaking of the wedding, how can there be any mood to hold a wedding, the marriage certificate may have to be delayed, and all plans were interrupted by unexpected disasters.

His complexion was serious, and he was about to turn into a kite and fly away at any time, but he wanted to go back and guard Nana desperately, no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless.

"Brother Cheng, did you take your medicine on time?" Xiang Pei asked.

After this, Liang Zhang remembered that Ah Cheng was still sick, and he couldn't bear it and was too tired.

Ah Cheng nodded: "Of course."

Xiang Pei didn't believe it: "Take out your medicine and let me have a look."

He stretched out his hand and asked Ah Cheng for medicine: "To be honest, you can't hide it from me."

Seeing that Xiang Pei didn't give up without asking why, Ah Cheng hesitated for a while, and compromised: "The medicine is almost gone, I used the money to buy a ring for Nana." He hurriedly grabbed Xiang Pei's sleeve, "You Sister Na doesn't know, so don't tell her."

If it was before, Xiang Pei would have not hesitated to inform Nana, but now that Nana is lying on the hospital bed, he really doesn't have the courage to tell her.

Liang Zhang became impatient, and spoke quickly: "Brother Cheng, what if something goes wrong with your body, sister Na? No amount of rings can make up for it."

Ah Cheng might also feel that this behavior was too reckless, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Xiang Pei said: "I'll ask Chen Zhaonan to borrow some money. I'll fill up your medicine first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Ah Cheng nodded, and thanked Xiang Pei with a hoarse voice, his voice was pale and weak.

"It's going to rain." Liang Zhang looked at the sky, opened his hands to feel the cool wind, and the leaves had already started to sway from side to side.

"Go back quickly," Xiang Pei said.

"Ah."

Liang Zhang sat on the back seat of Xiang Pei's motorcycle and held the back with his hands.

Said to Pei: "Hold me tight."

Liang Zhang didn't move.

"Hurry up, I'm going fast."

What is the motivation for this?Xiang Pei couldn't explain clearly, and didn't bother to think about it, he only knew that he was upset.

Liang Zhang sighed and hugged Xiang Pei's waist. Strictly speaking, he just put his hands on both sides of Xiang Pei's waist.

Xiang Pei didn't say anything, but he didn't start the car.

"I don't want you to be bad, so I don't want you to smoke and drink."

The explanation was very helpless, Liang Zhang heard it, and he knew that Xiang Pei was speaking from the bottom of his heart.But it was precisely this that made him uncomfortable. He knew that Xiang Pei subconsciously regarded him as someone from another world. They were different, so there was no reason to get too close.

At home, he was protected by his parents, but he didn't expect to be protected by Xiang Pei when he ran out. It's ridiculous.

"You're too strict, Xiang Pei."

His voice was muffled, like the coming heavy rain.

"is it?"

I'm not a nosy person, Xiang Pei thought.
