Window 2, Seventh Canteen

It rained all day and all night.

Many road sections in the town were severely flooded, and many accidents occurred overnight.

Early the next morning, the torrential downpour, which was said to be rare in 50 years, made newspaper headlines.

The grandpas and aunts in front of the newsstands are full of national affairs, and when they see the urban construction problems exposed by the heavy rain, they always have to frown a few more times and comment a few words to feel at ease.

A fat aunt shook her head and sighed that the world is getting worse.

The thin aunt next to her pointed to a corner of the newspaper, "This is what the world is saying. Two young people jumped off the building."

Fat aunt: "Yo, why are you dancing?"

Thin aunt: "I didn't take a closer look, anyway, it's a relationship problem, and it's a mess."

The fat aunt became interested, "What's wrong with the relationship problem? I didn't chase after the girl, can't I think about it?"

The thin aunt handed over the newspaper, "Hey, look for yourself, what kind of girl, these two young people are a couple."

The fat aunt hurriedly put on her reading glasses, and after searching for a long time, she finally found the title—two young men jumped off the building hand in hand, and the reason was suspected same-sex relationship.

The fat aunt swept back and forth in the tiny print, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you dead?"

Thin aunt: "Isn't it written? He didn't die. He was seriously injured and was admitted to the hospital. The two of them were also fatal. They jumped from the fifth floor. Fortunately, they were caught by the air cushion."

Fat aunt: "Oh, that's okay, which hospital did you go to?"

The thin aunt was a little impatient, "The First Hospital."

The No. [-] Hospital in the town is the best hospital in the area. Although it cannot be compared with big cities, it is well-equipped.

In the intensive care unit of the inpatient department, Jiang Wei and Han Zilu were in a coma for several days.

During this short period of time, many things happened around them.

Han Tiesheng woke up on the second day of the accident. Half a day later, Han Tielin went to the hospital to find him for an argument. He revealed the news of Han Zilu's return in words, and let Han Tiesheng know the cause and effect.

Because of this, a small farce was staged in the hospital. For the first time, Han Tiesheng slapped his brother hard, dragging his still recovering body, chasing him all the way to the gate of the hospital, no one tried to persuade him to fight. Use it until Han Tielin's nasal bone is broken.

Han Tielin screamed and was sent to the emergency room, while Han Tiesheng only said one sentence: From now on, the brotherhood will be severed, and the two families will no longer communicate.

After the noise, Han Tiesheng went to the ward where Han Zilu was, and stayed by the bed until he woke up.During this period of time, Jiang Yuchuan also rushed to the hospital, and stayed beside his son's bed, spending the most tormented few days with Han Tiesheng who was opposite him almost without saying a word.

Every time the doctor came in for an examination, he would comfort Jiang Yuchuan and Han Tiesheng, saying that the two children were out of danger, and fortunately they did not hurt their internal organs, but after all, it would take a while to wake up after falling from the fifth floor.

Jiang Yuchuan couldn't listen to these words, and Han Tiesheng couldn't listen even more. He kept looking at the bandages on Han Zilu's body. Whenever the nurse changed the dressing, he couldn't help crying when he saw the wounds and bruises on his son. Qi advised him to rest several times, but he just didn't listen.

Han Zilu woke up the next day after coma.

He had several fractures in his shoulder and right leg. Although he had been immobilized and given a lot of painkillers, when he woke up, he still felt severe pain all over his body, and couldn't help but let out a low snort.

He hadn't spoken for a long time, his throat was very harsh, and his voice was extremely hoarse. It was this kind of voice that made him realize that he was still alive.

Those scenes that repeatedly appeared in the coma dreamland were still surrounding him even after he woke up, and the boundless fear attacked his whole body and mind together with the return of consciousness.

At that moment, Han Zilu almost had a nervous breakdown, because he clearly remembered that Jiang Wei jumped down with him.

Thinking of this, Han Zilu suddenly sat up and hissed loudly, as if to vent all the fear that had settled in the dream.

At that moment, he couldn't control himself at all. He could only vent his fear and regret in this way. He didn't know how to stop, and he didn't have the courage to confirm whether Jiang Wei was alive or dead.

Han Zilu didn't remember how long he had been out of control, but he only remembered that he vaguely saw Jiang Wei's face, and then saw Han Tiesheng and Jiang Yuchuan, as well as many nurses and doctors, and after that, he was stabbed to calm down , fell asleep again.

Before waking up for the first time, Han Zilu’s dream was the moment of falling from the building repeatedly, filled with the news of Jiang Wei’s death, but after he fell asleep again, his dream changed, and the revolving scene replayed the scene from his childhood to adulthood. All the memories, all the important moments that have been experienced, are replayed in the dream.

At first, those plots seemed to come from old movies, it was a hazy black and white, and then it gradually became colorful, and the closer it is to the present, the clearer it becomes.

In the final scene, he can even smell the snow and clearly feel the coolness of the ring on his middle finger.

When he woke up again, Han Zilu only felt that his heart was abnormally peaceful, as if pure white snow was still piled up around him.

He woke up in the early morning, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Han Tiesheng, who was lying on the bedside, frowning deeply while sleeping.

Then, he turned his gaze and saw Jiang Wei lying in the next bed.

Under the night light, Jiang Wei's face was pale, covered with glaring bandages, but there was no pain on his face, as if he was in an peaceful dream.

Han Zilu stared at him like this all night, carefully memorizing every bandage on his body. It wasn't until Han Tiesheng woke up that he looked away and called Dad to the tired old man.

Both father and son were born again after the catastrophe, comforting each other, and it took a long time to calm down.

Regardless of persuasion, Han Zilu sat up with difficulty, held Han Tiesheng's hands, "Dad, I have something to say."

Han Tiesheng's face was full of tears, he choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Han Zilu: "Dad, I know that you are angry with me and that you can't accept it, but no matter how angry you are, you can beat me, scold me or even don't want me. I can't be separated from Jiang Wei for the rest of my life. In the past, my life You gave it to me, and from now on, my life will be his.”

Han Tiesheng didn't wait for Han Zilu to finish, sobbing in his arms, he continued intermittently, "Son, why are you so stupid, so stupid, why would Dad blame you, how could he be angry with you... Dad is angry with himself, both Because I didn't take good care of you, it's my fault, I have no face to live..."

He held back too many words and hid too many emotions in his heart, and what he could express through words was just the tip of the iceberg.

He couldn't let Han Zilu understand how angry he was at Han Tielin Xingshi's slander when he heard Han Tielin Xingshi's guilt, and he couldn't explain how much he blamed himself when he felt that something wrong with his education made Han Zilu go astray How helpless.

Many years ago, he was the one who took Han Zilu away from his biological father. He never regretted this matter, but it has always been a knot in his heart.

He felt that he had to give Han Zilu more love, care and responsibility for Han Zilu than his biological father, so that he could live up to the fact that Han Zilu left his biological father at a young age, became his son, and trusted him wholeheartedly. for many years.

Because of this, when he heard that Han Zilu was gay, he couldn't forgive himself at all. When he thought about how many ups and downs his son would face in the future, he wished to go back in time and give him a chance to do it all over again, teaching his son to walk right way.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. The end result of thinking into a dead end is that he feels that only his own death can atone for the sin of improper upbringing.

In the end, because of impulsiveness, he almost killed his favorite son.

During the period of guarding the hospital bed, Han Tiesheng thought a lot over and over again. After escaping from death once, he suddenly felt that everything was not important anymore. Compared with life and death, there was nothing difficult to overcome.

If Han Zilu is destined to face the criticism and indifference of the society in the future, he must be stronger, as a father, give him the most firm support and the most solid reliance, and protect him from the wind and rain.

Now that Han Zilu woke up, it was too late for him to be grateful, how could he still be angry with him.

What he hopes most now is that Jiang Wei is also safe and sound, and hopes that the two children will not suffer any more pain and live together well.

The most serious injury on Jiang Wei's body was on his left arm. Because he was protecting Han Zilu, his arm suffered double pressure when it hit the air cushion, resulting in multiple comminuted fractures.

The hospital where he lives now can only give him preliminary treatment, and it will take a long time, at least half a year, to fully recover.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until he wakes up.

Jiang Wei suffered a mild concussion, the recovery process was slightly longer than Han Zilu's, and he lay down for four days before waking up.

It was early morning when he woke up, and a ray of sunlight shone through the curtains in his eyes, bringing him out of the quiet darkness.

Opening his eyes, his vision was filled with warmth. The morning light reflected from his white quilt, casting a glimmer of light on Han Zilu's face.

Jiang Weiyi saw Han Zilu at a glance. He had a thick plaster cast on his leg and a long bandage hanging from him. He was lying in an uncomfortable-looking position, frowning in sleep.

Jiang Wei looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, pulling his dry lips with pain.

The two beds were separated by half an arm, Jiang Wei tried to move, and stretched out her right hand, which had just regained consciousness, towards Han Zilu, and gently placed it on his left hand.

Han Zilu was awakened by his movement, and when he opened his eyes, his face was full of panic. He instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but Jiang Wei held him down.

The two of them smiled and frowned, their gazes pierced through the sunlight and touched each other, each felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

No one spoke, and the room was silent.

Jiang Wei took off the ring on Han Zilu's middle finger, and put it on his ring finger instead.

Han Zilu's lips parted slightly, but his words were too harsh to speak.

Jiang Wei touched Han Zilu's ring with the ring on his hand.

"It's fine when you're in a relationship. After you're married, you can't make trouble anymore."

The warm wind of early summer blew into the window, between the hospital bed, a pair of hands were tightly clasped, and two rings were put on the ring finger, reflecting the brighter sunlight.
