Chapter 42 Can You Give Me Some Water

Su Shi didn't know how long he had been in a drowsy sleep. When he felt someone calling him, he opened his tired eyelids and found that he was still lying on the operating table.His consciousness was a little lax, and he heard what the doctor was saying but couldn't hear clearly.He only felt that his legs were extraordinarily heavy, and then he was transferred from the operating table to a hospital bed, covered with a thick quilt, and pushed out of the operating room.

When he was pushed out of the door, Su Shi felt that he saw his mother, cousin, and anxious Sun Letian who were full of worries. He opened his mouth to speak, but he felt powerless, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth hard. smiled.The doctor seemed to give some instructions, and then Su Shi was pushed into the elevator and sent to the intensive care unit on the 21st floor.

Su Shi's consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. He could feel the anesthesia gradually fade away because he began to feel his legs.The intensive care unit was eerily quiet, occasionally the beeping of machines or the groans of patients who were not yet fully conscious could be heard.Su Shi was lying flat on the operating bed, and because there was no pillow, he felt uncomfortable all over.

His throat was so dry, Su Shi opened his mouth, and called out to the nurse who was standing nearby checking the machine. The nurse lowered her head and checked the needle in his hand again, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Can you give me some water, I'm so thirsty." Su Shi could feel his throat becoming hoarse.

The nurse glanced at the time, and shook her head cruelly, "Not yet, you can't drink water within six hours after the operation. It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and I will give you water at eight o'clock in the evening, but at first I can only drink a little when I'm there."

For the first time, Su Shi felt that thirst was so unbearable, so he could only close his eyes, trying to make himself forget this feeling.Before I knew it, I fell asleep again.Su Shi fell into a drowsy sleep, then woke up, and then fell asleep again.When he opened his eyes, he could see the beds around him being pushed or pushed out, but no one made any sound, which reminded him that the old man in the next bed said that he thought he was pushed into the morgue in the intensive care unit, which was really appropriate.

I don't know how many times I woke up, Su Shi saw the nurse walking towards him, took out the mineral water sent by Su's mother from under the bed, unscrewed the lid under Su Shi's expectant gaze, and put the The water bottle tilted slightly, poured into the cap, and fed it to Su Shi with the cap.Su Shi felt a slight wetness in his mouth, and the water disappeared before it reached his throat. He licked his dry lips and continued to look at the nurse. When he drank it, he tightened the cap and put the water back under the bed.

Su Shi wanted to cry, but he wanted to get up from under the bed to get water and gulp it down, but in the end he could only resign himself to his fate and close his eyes again.After a while, he felt that the nurse was wiping his chapped lips with a wet cotton swab. He felt better, but he still couldn't solve the discomfort in his throat, so he could only fall back into a drowsy sleep.

That was probably the most difficult night for Su Shi. He fell asleep, woke up, and went back and forth. He didn't know when he would be pushed back to the ward, but he felt very tired.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the doctor came to the intensive care unit to pick up Su and went back to the ward on time.Together with a few nurses, the doctor wanted to get Su Shi to his own hospital bed. Su Shi tried to cooperate with his arms, but when the doctor touched his leg, he trembled.It was a pain he had never experienced before, and the doctor only touched it lightly, which made him tremble with pain.

The doctor saw his expression and comforted him, "The anesthesia wears off, the incision pain is normal, and it will be fine in a few days."

Su Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, and with the help of doctors and nurses, he was put on his hospital bed, and then pushed out of the intensive care unit.Just after leaving the intensive care unit, Su Shi saw his mother and Sun Letian waiting eagerly. His mother was in a fairly good state of mind, but Sun Letian obviously didn't sleep all night.Su Shi twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

With the help of doctors and nurses, Su Shi was smoothly pushed back to the ward and fixed the bed.The doctor ordered something that Su Shi couldn't listen to at all before leaving.Su Shi finally lay down on the pillow, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Is there any water?"

Mother Su took a bowl, "This is the millet porridge I bought this morning, please drink some."

Su Shi nodded, propped his arms on the bed and tried to sit up, but after drinking the nutrient solution overnight, he found that he had no strength at all.Sun Letian reached out to support him, and made Su Shi raise his head in a half-lying position. Mother Su fed the porridge to Su Shi bit by bit with a spoon.

Su Shi took a few gulps and felt that his throat was finally comfortable, and motioned for Sun Letian to let him lie down.Sun Letian helped him to lie down, and tucked the blanket for him. Before he could speak, Su Shi spoke first, "If I remember correctly, it's Tuesday today. Go back to school, and you have to take the English test tomorrow."

Sun Letian immediately frowned, "Su Shi, don't be like this, let me stay with you for a while."

Su Shi raised his brows, "I'm done with the surgery too, so what are you worried about? You didn't sleep last night and you don't want to go back to sleep today, and then read some books. How are you going to take the exam tomorrow?"

Su's mother heard it and said, "Letian, let's go back to school quickly. I'm here, so it's fine."

Sun Letian looked at Su Shi for a while, and finally nodded, "Then I'll go back, you, have a good rest."

Su Shi nodded, watching Sun Letian put on his coat, then put all his scattered things into his bag, reluctantly waved to Su Shi, and walked out of the ward door slowly.

Su Shi took the mobile phone from the bed and found that Zhao Wei had sent him a message asking about the operation, and said that he would come to see him this afternoon and asked him the ward number.Su Shi replied quickly, and almost as soon as he sent it, the phone rang, and he pressed the answer button, and Zhao Wei's cheerful voice came out, "Are you awake now? Sun Letian replied to all the previous messages."

Su Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, I still feel groggy, but my consciousness is completely clear."

"That's good, I have a surprise for you." As soon as the words finished, the door of the ward was pushed open. Zhao Wei stood at the door with a bouquet of flowers in his arms. Hang up, walked in with a smile, greeted Mama Su, Mama Su responded with a smile, then got up and gave up the chair beside the bed, "You two have a chat, I just went to the outpatient department to pick up something."

The door of the ward was closed, and only Su Shi and Zhao Wei were left in the ward.The elder brother in the next bed had just been helped for an examination, and the elder brother in the other bed was taken out for a walk by his family members. Su Shi instructed Zhao Wei to help shake the bed. With support, he could maintain a sitting position, but he felt a little dizzy.

Zhao Wei searched around before finding a water bottle, and managed to use it as a vase.Su Shi glanced at the fresh bouquet of flowers that he couldn't name that was inserted in half of the mineral water bottle, and couldn't help teasing, "Why did you think of buying flowers? Do you think it's to see your girlfriend?"

"After thinking about it, I don't know what to buy. It's shameful to come empty-handed. Just think of adding a little life to your ward. And if someone asks you, you can say that it was a gift from your girlfriend. How face-saving it is." Zhao said. Wei sat down by the bed and looked at Su Shi's face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost weight, even your chin is sharp."

Su Shi raised his hand to touch his chin, and said with a smile, "Stop teasing, how could you be so exaggerated?"

Zhao Wei also laughed, and then asked, "Sun Letian is gone? Why is he willing?"

"I sent him back to the final exam. I was in the intensive care unit last night, and he didn't sleep all night. He has the exam tomorrow." Su Shi fingered his phone unconsciously, guessing that Sun Letian would be arriving at school soon.

"Tsk tsk, listen to your tone, you are already like this, and you still have time to think about his final exam." Zhao Wei stretched out his finger and poked Su Shi's face.

Su Shi chuckled, then put away his smile, looked at Zhao Wei's face and said, "The day he came to see me, the two of us were officially together."

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime. You two have carefully calculated how many years it has been? I thought you planned to live like this, and then one day in the future Find a woman to marry and have children for the rest of my life."

"Actually, I can't guarantee what will happen in the future. Who knows if one of the two of us will let go first. I just thought that if I didn't even try at the beginning, I might regret it in the future, right?" Su Shi said with a serious face. With a slight smile, he said softly.

Zhao Wei nodded, "Yes, who can say for sure? But if you try and try your best, you will have no regrets."

Su Shi smiled and changed the subject, "What have you been doing these days?"

Zhao Wei leaned back on the chair and said lazily, "Eat, sleep, be in a daze, wait for him to call or video call me when he is free. He said that he should be able to come back next summer vacation, and then I will really make it through." .”

"Then, what about your parents, they haven't come home yet?" Su Shi frowned and looked at Zhao Wei, "Then what do you eat these days?"

"Order takeaway, I've been living like this for 20 years, and it's not too short of a few days. Anyway, as long as you have money, you can't starve to death." Zhao Wei looked indifferent.

Su Shi sighed, "If you have nothing to do during the winter vacation, you can stay at my house for a few days. Anyway, the train from Q city to my house is only five or six hours. Although I can't get out of bed, at least Sun Letian can play with you for a while. Play."

"Okay, I haven't been to the Northeast for winter yet." Zhao Wei was obviously very interested.

"Then remember to prepare thick clothes to save you from being frozen to death in my house. I can't afford it."
