Heart fire

When I woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the second day. There was a cool breeze in the ward, and the pungent smell of disinfectant penetrated directly into my brain.Hungry Wen Yue broke free from a strange dream, opened his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled up and down with difficulty, tried to open his dry lips, and wanted to say something to the intern nurse who was busy taking his blood pressure. But the sound was like a broken radio with a low battery, and not a single word was clear.

After listening for a long time, the nurse concluded which dialect this person might be speaking, so she reassured her in a wrong way: "It's okay, it's okay, your arms and legs are all covered, just take more oxygen. Don't worry."

Wen Yue's voice was about to burst into flames: "..."

The little nurse observed his distorted expression closely, and suddenly realized: "Want to pee?" She turned her head and looked outside the door. "Oh, hold it back, I'll call a male nurse."

Wen Yue, who was extremely short of water in his body, was in despair. He thought to himself, sister, if you don’t give me some water, where will I get urine, even if I have another bottle of glucose...

He propped his neck and watched the little nurse happily leave with the thermometer and blood pressure monitor in his hands, and then looked at the retro-looking thermos bottle on the bedside table, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

The ward was very small, and there was only one patient, Wen Yue, on the left and right. He lay back helplessly, tried to move his hands and feet, turned over, and found that, as the little nurse said, he was completely open, but he was not breathing well. Smooth, there is also a little pain in the right ankle.

The sound of wheelbarrows rolling across the floor came from the corridor, and the scissors, tweezers, and bottles in the tray jingled.When the mind was fully awake, there was soreness everywhere, no energy anywhere, and the feeling of hunger and thirst became more and more intense. Wen Yue stared at the empty ceiling for a while, and suddenly grinned.

It's good to be alive.

Zhou Tong, who was carrying a lunch box and milk, saw Wen Yue giggling as soon as he entered the ward.He hadn't washed his face yet, his body was covered with sweat mixed with a layer of water, and he was as dirty as a mud monkey. After entering the door, he didn't care about anything else, and as soon as he put his things down, he began to take off his clothes, leaving only a drenched white shirt on his upper body The vest moved under the air conditioner for a while before he recovered, and suddenly realized that Wen Yue was not as clichéd as before, and told him not to blow directly into the air conditioner, so he walked over and shook the bed board to help him sit up, while unpacking the takeaway Looking at him from the side of the bag: "How is it? Is there any discomfort?"

Wen Yue shrugged his nose, and answered the wrong question: "Fish-flavored shredded pork?"

"It seems to be all right." Zhou Tong lifted the lid of the lunch box, poured a spoonful of vegetable soup on the rice, and picked out a few of the most conspicuous shredded meat and fed them into Wen Yue's mouth. Swallowing it hastily, turned around, picked up the milk, inserted the straw, brought it to his mouth, frowned and said, "It seems like I've been hungry for half a month..."

Thinking of the meal before the police, I only ate one-tenth of my usual meal, Wen Yue's stomach full of sour water poured into his nasal cavity, and the circles of his eyes were red.Zhou Tong thought that the joke was inappropriate, so he quickly fed another spoonful of rice: "Okay, okay, eat more, I know you are hungry."

"You should eat something lighter now..." Zhou Tong sighed as he looked at the box of fish-flavored shredded pork with unidentifiable vegetables and meat and excessive monosodium glutamate. "Hey, Team Tu, it's too much for you to buy such heavy-tasting things."

"Tu...?" The sniffing movement that chewed as fast as a rodent a second ago suddenly froze, like a frightened hamster with half a mouthful of unswallowed food in its mouth. "Tu team bought it for me?"

Only now did he have time to recall why he appeared here, and immediately expressed deep worry and self-blame: "How is the fire scene? Everyone...is everyone okay?"

"How long have I been lying down?"

Zhou Tong looked at him in the state of the amnesiac heroine trapped by the door in the bloody TV series, and almost couldn't help teasing him, saying that it's already 05, and you're already dead, and you're all saved by biological cell freezing technology I have lost my brain memory, and I am a completely remodeled AI fighter to carry out the task of taking you back to your home planet. The spaceship is parked downstairs. Eat fast, and travel will be restricted after 30:[-].

After all, he still couldn't bear it, so Zhou Tong took out a tissue and wiped the oil from the corner of Wen Yue's mouth: "Yes, Team Tu bought it for you. You can't blame him, it's too remote, and there aren't any good restaurants nearby."

He fed the food and milk patiently, and answered Wen Yue's questions in order.

"The fire is almost out, and the scene is still being dealt with. He drove me over and left. Everyone else in our team is fine, and nothing serious happened. Your class Yang Shousheng injured his arm, so you just lie down One night plus one day, how did you sleep this time? Did you make up for what you lost in the past six months?"

Wen Yue sucked up a carton of milk in one breath, and looked eagerly at the remaining cartons.

"Where's the trainer?" He watched and recalled Zhou Tong's words bit by bit, and suddenly lost the mood to eat and drink. "I remember he pulled me up, his hand..."

"It's okay." A trace of distress and worry was fleeting, Zhou Tong blinked and opened another carton of milk. "Skin trauma, it will be dealt with on the spot, so don't take it to heart."

"Okay, let's eat." Speaking of the instructor Zhou Tong, he felt a headache, so he changed the subject and joked: "Comrade Xiao Yueyue survived the disaster, what do you think?"

Wen Yue took the milk and drank it "gudong gudong". After letting go of the straw, his expression suddenly became serious.Zhou Tong looked at it and thought that he had really understood some philosophy of life after this catastrophe, and he looked down on life and death. Just as he was about to sit up straight and listen carefully, he saw him say firmly, as if swearing: "I want to fall in love."

Zhou Tong: "..."

"Well, it's good, it's time to talk..." Zhou Tong picked up a chopstick of carrots and shredded bamboo shoots, and bit the tip of the chopsticks as if killing the enemy, almost unable to pull them back. "Let Du Wei introduce his sister to you later, I have seen the photos, she is very cute. Nurse Xiaohui is also good, she is only one year older than you, last time in the infirmary, I saw that she has been around you, It should be interesting to you..."

"I have someone I like." Wen Yue interrupted before hearing a few words, and his eyes drifted out of the window.

"Ah?" Zhou Tong was caught off guard and took a long time to react. "Who is it?"

How many women are there in the entire secret service, you can count on one hand, isn't it Xiaohui, is it Yuanyuan?It can't be the [-]-year-old Liao sister from the finance department... Or is it someone else who is not in the team?But I have known Wen Yue for so long, we talked about everything and stayed together almost every day, how could I not notice it at all...

Just when Zhou Tong was full of question marks and pondering in secret, Wen Yue said again: "You have to keep it secret for me."

Zhou Tong was taken aback, nodded quickly, stared at his mouth, and waited for him to say something earth-shattering, and sure enough, Wen Yue pursed his upper and lower lips, and uttered two words very naturally: "Tu Ke. "

"I like the Tu team."

A chopstick fell in response, and Zhou Tong, who could no longer remain calm: "......"

"you......"

It was so sudden, Zhou Tong, you, you, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me for a long time. I was stunned and couldn’t say a complete sentence. I decided that Wen Yue was delirious because he inhaled an excessive amount of harmful gas, and thought to myself, is it really the sequelae of brain hypoxia? Just kidding, starting to get stupid so quickly, I'm sure I'll get Parkinson's when I'm old.

"You just adore him..." Zhou Tong, who didn't know how to respond, could only helplessly use himself as an example: "It's like I adore the instructor and treat him as a relative and an older brother. You think this is liking, Is it love?"

"Why not?" Wen Yue kicked off the quilt and stared at her right ankle, which was swollen into a trotter. "Worship is love."

Zhou Tong was choked by him and his chest was tight, and he was a little anxious: "Nonsense, who told you?"

Wen Yue didn't lift her head: "Liang Jingru."

Zhou Tong: "..."

Very good, if you ask who gave you the courage to like Team Tu in the next sentence, it must be from this sister?

"I think your brain is broken." Zhou Tong stuffed the rest of the meal into Wen Yue's hand. "eat by yourself."

Once I confessed my thoughts, I couldn't eat anymore, but I was still very thirsty.Wen Yue licked her chapped lips, and said with a deep face: "Love itself is unreasonable. If it wasn't for almost dying, I wouldn't understand it."

"At that time, I really thought I was going to die. I thought of many people, such as parents, grandparents, relatives, neighbors, teachers, classmates, and you and the instructor." He rubbed his hot eyes and smiled softly. "I hate everyone, but not everyone makes me think of it at that time, and I want to hug, kiss, and... like that..."

Wen Yue said more and more quietly, but she was very sure: "It's different."

Zhou Tong looked at his blushing face in disbelief.

"Are you... the same sex...?"

"I don't know, maybe it is." Wen Yue lowered his head in frustration. "I've never liked girls anyway."

Although he was shocked enough, it didn't take long for Zhou Tong to silently agree with Wen Yue's thoughts in his heart.What is love, no one in this world can tell clearly, isn't the simplest criterion for judging it like this, you always have that person in your eyes, and you want to see him and get close to him anytime, anywhere.Suffering his suffering, enjoying his joy, his happiness and anger all fluctuate with him, clumsily racking his brains, making a fool of himself just to make him smile.Be it worship, respect, or dependence, which one is not based on love?

"Then what are you going to do..." Zhou Tong breathed a sigh of relief as if compromising, and his tense back also collapsed.

Wen Yue shook his head, his attitude was not as firm as before, and his eyes became blank: "What to do, I don't know, I just like him, very much."

A big or small accident can actually change a person who has never been indifferent and happy with the situation.Zhou Tong was stunned, and couldn't figure out whether he was detached, confused, or a sudden impulse after he was put to death.

"If you can't accept it, don't force it." Seeing Zhou Tong froze and looking thoughtful, Wen Yue felt a little sad, but pretended to be strong. "Anyway, I will regard you as my best friend for the rest of my life, and I can understand if you don't accept it..."

Training in the wind and the sun every day for half a year, Zhou Tong's skin color is at least two shades darker than before, and he looks even darker in white clothes.He looked down at the straps of the fireproof suit on his chest, and then looked up at Wen Yue, who was not tanned but had peeled off several layers of skin, and suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness.

"Just as long as you're happy." He got up and picked up the coat at the end of the bed. "I can't stay too long, I have to go back quickly. I won't come later, and withdraw with the big troops."

Wen Yue didn't want to watch Zhou Tong's disappointed and puzzled back, and his heart sank little by little following his words.

"...You just wait here obediently and wait for Team Tu to pick you up. Don't make him unhappy on the way back." Zhou Tong walked to the door and turned up the air conditioner a few degrees. "When you've had enough of lying down, get up and wash your face. Who would like a dirty one? Captain Tu is so handsome, how dare you walk with him like this?"

As soon as Zhou Tong finished speaking, Wen Yue raised his head suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.

"Seize well, don't disappoint the opportunity I created for you." Zhou Tong put his coat on his shoulders, revealing a mouthful of particularly bright white teeth: When it's time to make a move, make a move!Don't be cowardly!I support you. "

"!" Wen Yue almost couldn't hold back his tears, the corner of his mouth was choked with sobs, and he nodded fiercely: "Yeah!"

After closing the door and passing by the little nurse carrying a urinal, the whole person seemed to become relaxed and happy, and couldn't help being happy for his friend.Zhou Tong suddenly thought, who cares so much, right or wrong, at least you have to try first to know.What's more, there is nothing wrong with liking someone, life is short, there is no reason for gender to be an obstacle to love.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help speeding up his pace.

Wen Yue is fine, but his trainer is still angry with him.Zhou Tong secretly swears as he walks that from now on, even if it is the courage of the king of hell and the Jade Emperor, he will never dare to count his words or run far away.

...

The fire was not completely extinguished until noon the next day.The county hospital is not far from the Gucheng area. Half an hour after Zhou Tong left, Yao Hongwei had organized the rest of the fighting force to be divided into four areas again, to clean up the embers one by one, and stay behind for monitoring.At [-] o'clock in the evening, after repeated investigations and confirmed that there was no possibility of resurgence, except for the two fire engines of the squadron in the jurisdiction, the rest of the team was finally able to evacuate.

After returning to the scene, Zhou Tong turned on the "dog" mode, wagging his tail and following Xi Yang closely, without even taking his eyes off him.

More than ten hours ago, he carried the man out of the lane and brought him back to the command office to treat the injury on his hand.Along the way, the instructor leaned on his chest tiredly and docilely, whispering softly to every word he said, quietly like a flimsy and light feather in the chaos and noise, making him wish he could cut through the thorns and thorns, shelter from the wind and rain, and walk without walking. Dare to step up, almost broke my heart.

The strong desire to protect came on like a prairie fire, out of control, just as what Wen Yue said was extraordinary.Zhou Tong repeatedly confirmed, asked again and again, asked the trainer whether his hands still hurt, his legs still hurt, and finally stood outside the ambulance at a loss, seeing the doctor wash his thin hands with hydrogen peroxide, and wipe them with alcohol. Wipe the worn skin from inside to outside. Seeing that the trainer was obviously in pain, but he never even frowned, he couldn't help reminding the doctor several times to be careful and light, which made the doctor almost annoyed him, and hurriedly cleaned the wound After dressing up, he took the medicine box and left.

Taking advantage of no one's attention around, Zhou Tong couldn't help sticking to Xi Yang again, trying to say or do something to coax him and make him happy. Why did he suddenly have the strength to settle accounts with him, bit his lips and turned his head away, staring stubbornly at the figures running past one after another, ignoring Zhou Tong.

At first, Zhou Tong was in a hurry and followed behind in a panic, not knowing what to do, and he didn't dare to ask to go back to the fire scene.But after following him, he gradually felt at ease, because no matter how angry he was, the trainer did not blame him for driving him away, but instead seemed to be conniving, giving him more reasons to keep following.

So Yao Hongwei scolded something with his beard and stares. He didn't hear clearly, and he couldn't remember when the evacuation order was issued, how he climbed into the water tank truck behind the instructor, and how he fell asleep amidst the bumps.When he woke up, the car was driving into the gate of the camp. He leaned on the instructor's shoulder and looked out the window with him. He saw Fang Jianhua who was waiting at the entrance of the cafeteria with Xiao Bian, and Du Wei who had just returned to the team after being discharged from the hospital.

At night, all the sorrows and joys that happened during the day are erased, and the sound of waves and wind replaces the hustle and bustle and becomes a healing melody.After jumping out of the car, Zhou Tong reluctantly watched Xi Yang leave, and watched him walk into the dormitory until his figure disappeared completely, before he had time to pack his things and care about Du Wei who had returned from his injury.

The tired young men crossed their shoulders and complained about the heat as they walked.

"Aren't you going to the bathhouse? I have to take a bath again." Du Wei lifted his T-shirt to reveal his lower abdomen, turned his head and asked Wu Wei who was walking beside him: "Do you miss me? Rub my back later?"

"Get out." Wu Wei was too tired to say a word.

"Inhumane." Du Wei then counted on Zhou Tong who was the best talker. "My shoulder still hurts. After lying down for half a month, it's all rotten. I can't rub it myself."

I don’t know what this statement reminded Zhou Tong of, but he paused: “Why didn’t I see the trainer in the bathhouse?”

Ye Zheng, who was following behind, interjected: "He doesn't wash with us, and he is the last one every time. I don't know why."

"Oh." Zhou Tong absent-mindedly replied, and didn't answer Du Wei and didn't speak any more.After returning to the dormitory, when everyone was walking out with washbasins and towels in their hands, he followed behind slowly, stammering, "You guys go first, what about me, go to the toilet... .Stomach is a bit uncomfortable..."
