Goldberg Variations

Although he had already guessed that Pei Wen might not recognize him, the other party asked "Who are you" so indifferently, which still made Gu Kai a little sad.

The nurse next to him thought that Pei Wen's brain was damaged, but he heard Gu Kai explain:

"My name is Gu Kai, don't you remember? Your high school classmate, we have been classmates for two years."

The nurse thought to herself: It turns out that I really don’t know him, so this person is quite a friend.

Pei Wen didn't speak, obviously not impressed.

"That's right, that..." Gu Kai racked his brains to think back, "...you don't remember the one who pretended to be a queen at the sports meeting?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the corner of the nurse's lips holding back a smile, and Gu Kai touched his nose.

He doesn't want to use his black history to awaken other people's memories, but his high school is too low-key.

Apart from the black history widely circulated by the students in the class, I really don't know what else Pei Wen can remember.

When he was in high school, Gu Kai's physical fitness was not very good, and there were many boys in science classes, so he didn't need to work hard on physical fitness.

But at that time, the girls in the class were rare animals. When they joined the team at the sports meeting in the second year of high school, the class decided to play the role of the emperor, and their class teacher walked in front wearing a dragon robe.

The selection of the queen has become a problem.

Most of the people tend to be boys, and in the end, for some reason, they fought back and forth, and the spot fell to him.Facing the expectations of the whole class, Gu Kai can only sacrifice his ego to fulfill the greater ego.

Thinking of the prosthetic breasts and tube top dress he was wearing at that time, Gu Kai still had black lines all over his head.

However, the effect of black history is quite good. As soon as he said this, Pei Wen really remembered it immediately.

"Oh..." Pei Wen blankly recalled the situation at that time, "It's you."

In the past two years, his memory has been getting worse and worse, but he finally connected the person in his memory with the person in front of him.

"..." Gu Kai coughed lightly, adhering to the principle that he should not be embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else, and kept calm, "Just think about it."

Then he explained: "It was Yu Shuangshuang who called me and told me that something happened to you. She has something to do. She is in the desert now and may not be able to make it back in a while. I live in Haicheng, which is close, so She asked me to come and see you."

Gu Kai found that although Pei Wen's eyes were fixed on him, his thinking was wandering, and he wondered if he heard what he said.

After two seconds of silence, Gu Kai heard Pei Wen say, "Thank you."

Pei Wen's voice was soft, like a gust of wind.

"What did she tell you?"

Gu Kai looked at Pei Wen's expression: "I only said that you were drowning, and didn't say anything else."

Pei Wen didn't respond. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Thank you for the past two days, but I'm awake now, you can go."

Gu Kai raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "I'm gone, who will take care of you? Yu Shuangshuang is in the desert now, and I guess she won't come back within a week."

Thinking that this person might be because they were not familiar with each other, so he was embarrassed to bother him, so Gu Kai smiled gently:

"You don't have to trouble me, I promised Yu Shuangshuang to stay here with you until she comes back. Besides, I'm not busy with work, so I won't delay my work."

"Just relax and take good care of your body."

"Even if it's not me, don't you still want to find a nurse? The nurse is not as close as the old classmates."

After Gu Kai finished speaking, Pei Wen couldn't refuse, so he was silent for a while, and his tone softened slightly: "Thank you."

Pei Wen just woke up and was still very weak. After saying these few words, he felt a little difficult to breathe and even struggled to speak.

The nurse then cut off the video and told Gu Kai that the other party still needs to recuperate, and it is not appropriate to talk too much now.

However, since people are awake, it is good.

At least it means that Pei Wen probably won't become a vegetable.

Gu Kai sent a message to Yu Shuangshuang, telling her the good news.

But the other party didn't reply. It may be that they are in a place with poor signal and haven't received it yet.

Gu Kai then notified the enthusiastic guy Shi Yangming of the news.

Hearing that Pei Wen woke up, Shi Yangming was as happy as if he had been promoted and raised his salary, and kept telling Gu Kai to take more care of his younger brother in the future.

Gu Kai didn't correct him and agreed to all of them.

Although he woke up, Pei Wen still couldn't get out of the ICU.

He is still in a coma more often than awake, and his physical condition is very unstable.

During Pei Wen's stay in the ICU, Gu Kai stayed with him in the "parents' dormitory" and occasionally went home to change clothes and wash up. Most of the time he waited outside the ICU. Occasionally, he would make video calls with Pei Wen, chat with him, and encourage him.

To be honest, such a day is really difficult, mainly because it is a bit boring.

But on the sixth day, when Pei Wen was transferred from the ICU to the general ward, when he came out and saw that he was still there, the surprise in his eyes made Gu Kai feel that it was all worth it.

Gu Kai trotted forward, followed by the hospital bed, and asked as he walked:

"How do you feel now?"

All the indicators of Pei Wen's body have stabilized, and he is awake at the moment, but he still wears an oxygen mask on his face.

Although his face was still pale, his complexion was much better than the previous few days.

Pei Wen nodded lightly: "Very good."

He spoke with a lack of breath and a soft tone.

After entering the general ward, the nurse left temporarily, telling them to ring the bell if they have something to do, and they will arrive immediately.

Without outsiders around, Gu Kai looked at Pei Wen with mixed feelings, and didn't know what to say.

After all, they are really unfamiliar now.

It was Gu Kai's first time taking care of a patient, and he was at a loss as to what to do, so he asked him:

"Are you hungry, do you want something to eat? Is it cold? Is there any discomfort? Do you need me to do something for you?"

Pei Wen shook his head weakly: "I'm fine, don't worry, I don't need you to do anything."

Gu Kai said: "Don't worry yet, you are really scary this time, Yu Shuangshuang cried so much that her makeup was all over."

When Yu Shuangshuang was mentioned, Pei Wen's expression was a little dazed, and his eyes turned from Gu Kai to the window.

The light blue curtains were closed on both sides, the glass windows were opened, and a moist breeze blew in from the windows.

The rain has stopped today, but the sky is still cloudy.

There is a five-story ginkgo tree outside the window. The dark green fan-shaped leaves are very thick and rustle in the breeze.

Undried raindrops hung on the turquoise immature fruit. The raindrops dripped and landed on the leaves, shaking the leaves, and then the drops followed the veins of the leaves and fell to the ground.

Pei Wen didn't answer his words, Gu Kai was not embarrassed, and lowered his head to contact Yu Shuangshuang, but unfortunately he still couldn't get in touch.

I don't know which corner of the desert this girl is in.

Putting away the phone, Gu Kai said, "There is still no news from Yu Shuangshuang...but she might be on the plane back."

Pei Wen turned around and said, "If you contact her, tell her not to come back in a hurry, and finish her own business first."

Gu Kai froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Pei Wen looked up at him again: "Did you save me that day in the river?"

After these few days of treatment, the memory before coma gradually recovered, and Pei Wen roughly remembered what happened that day.

He remembered that he came out of the house by himself without an umbrella, went to the riverside and jumped in the rain.

Someone should have rescued him, but he didn't know who it was.

"No." Gu Kai took out his mobile phone and smiled, "I was asked by Yu Shuangshuang, and someone else saved you."

After entering WeChat, Gu Kai clicked on Shi Yangming's homepage and pointed it to Pei Wen: "This is the person."

"I asked for his contact information for you. He hurt your arm and had stitches to save you. If you want to thank him, you can wait until you are discharged from the hospital."

Pei Wen said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I actually didn't do anything, he was the one who saved you."

Now that the words came to this point, Gu Kai took advantage of the situation and asked: "It rained so heavily that day, what did you go to the riverside to enjoy the rain? How did you fall into the water?"

Pei Wen: "Just walk around."

"Go to the river?"

Pei Wen glanced at him: "Slippery feet."

As expected, this person really didn't admit it, Gu Kai thought, it's too dishonest, too preoccupied.

"Then you have to stay away from the water in the future," Gu Kai joked, "You're going to fight against the water."

Pei Wen bent the corner of his lower lip unobtrusively, and nodded: "En."

Gu Kai looked at the faint smile that flickered on his lips, and said, "You still look better when you smile, just like you did back then."

Pei Wen tilted his head slightly, back then?

"But I'm afraid you can't remember clearly," Gu Kai thought back, "At that time, you were the proud son of heaven, your teachers and classmates liked you, and many girls confessed to you."

High school life is still a good memory for Pei Wen, but his memory is very fragmented, and he can't remember many things clearly.

"Really?" He just said so lightly.

"Yeah," Gu Kai thought for a while, and said, "We haven't seen each other for eight years, right?"

Pei Wen made up his mind: "Yes."

Gu Kai smiled and said, "You look the same as before, nothing changed, just a little thinner, even thinner than in high school."

Pei Wen said, "It's because of work."

Speaking of this, Gu Kai found that Pei Wen seemed to be lacking energy and didn't want to talk, so he said:

"Are you tired, do you want to rest? I won't bother you."

Pei Wen shook his head and said, "I'm a little thirsty."

"I'll pour you some water." Gu Kai got up to get a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

Pei Wen took off his oxygen mask to drink water, but perhaps he drank a little too quickly, Pei Wen choked and coughed violently.

"Slow down," Gu Kai patted his back gently, "Don't worry, are you okay?"

Pei Wen coughed violently while shaking his head, his face flushed.

It doesn't look like it's okay at all.

Gu Kai frowned, and found that Pei Wen's breathing became more and more rapid, wheezing heavily, without any intention of stopping, and finally realized something was wrong.

"Don't panic," Gu Kai rang the bell, "The doctor will be here soon, don't be afraid, it's fine."

Pei Wen nodded weakly, and was supported by Gu Kai to lie down, but he was still panting.

The nurse of the tertiary care came very quickly. After seeing Pei Wen, she asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Kai pointed to the water glass: "He choked on the water..."

The nurse immediately put him back on the ventilator and checked Pei Wen's physical indicators.

Then, under the doctor's command, Pei Wen was given an infusion.

Pei Wen was still panting, his brain dizzy from lack of oxygen, his eyes were closed tightly, and his slightly parted lips were dry and pale.

But the oxygen couldn't enter the body anyway, and the pain and fear of dying made Pei Wen struggle instinctively, twisting his body constantly.

"Pei Wen," Gu Kai held Pei Wen's cold hand, "Don't panic, the doctor is here, the doctor is here, don't be afraid."

Pei Wen's hands were limp and lacked any strength, and his rapid panting made people flustered. Gu Kai was unconsciously nervous and grabbed Pei Wen's hand tightly.

It seems that this can give Pei Wen strength, or he can get some comfort from it.

The doctor spoke quickly beside him, guiding him to breathe slowly, don't be nervous, take a big breath and let it out slowly.

Pei Wen was still conscious, trying to follow the doctor's orders.

But he couldn't control his emotions suddenly, he was panting, and was suddenly swept by great sadness.

He choked up, thinking: Why save him?

Tears burst out of my eyes for some unknown reason, and trickled down the corners of my eyes into my temples and onto the pillow, leaving only a faint trace of water at the end of my eyes and temples.
