I became a substitute for my brother

Tao Heng woke up in the pale and weak light. It was already dark outside the window, and the neon lights were flickering everywhere, casting a mottled reflection on the wall.

The injury on his foot has been re-treated, and he is hung on the bed for fixation. He can't move now, and needs help for everything, just like a tortoise with four legs in the sky, clumsy and ridiculous.

But when he thinks of Ji Muqiao, he can't laugh again. For blocking bullets for such a useless person like him, I don't know if Ji Muqiao will regret it after he reacts.

Someone opened the door and came in. It turned out to be Uncle Chen. Seeing him, Uncle Chen smiled and asked, "Sir, are you awake?"

Uncle Chen put the thermos bucket he brought on the table, leaned over and looked at him slightly, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Tao Heng shook his head, "Where's the nurse?"

Uncle Chen said, "I'm dismissed."

That's right, it doesn't matter if you take the money but don't fulfill your duty of guarding the patients.

Tao Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Uncle Chen opened the thermos, and a delicious smell wafted out. Uncle Chen scooped out a bowl of soup, helped him raise the bed slightly, and sat on the edge of the bed and fed it to his mouth spoon by spoon, "This It's the tonic soup that the cook specially made for you, drink more, and your body will recover faster."

"Thank you." Tao Heng always respected Uncle Chen.

"You're welcome." Uncle Chen tried his best to feed him soup, "Drink more."

"That's enough, let's put the rest there." After half a bowl of soup, Tao Heng really didn't want to drink it anymore. He asked Uncle Chen, "How is Ji Muqiao? He has a successful operation, is he awake yet? Which ward?"

Uncle Chen shook his head, "I don't know."

"Uncle Chen, could you please call the doctor over? I have something to consult."

Uncle Chen didn't refuse, he poured the soup back into the thermos, closed the lid, turned around and went out.After a while, the doctor came in. Tao Heng pointed to the hanging foot and asked him, "Can you untie it for me? I want to go out for a while."

The doctor frowned, "Your foot is very swollen, it's suspended to promote venous return, and it can't be put down for the time being, what's the urgent need for you, a wounded patient, to deal with it?"

Tao Heng lowered his eyes and said softly, "I want to see someone."

"Mr. Tao," Uncle Chen disagreed, "Your current situation is not suitable for going to the field."

Tao Heng ignored it, and asked the doctor: "I will be careful, and it will be very fast, half an hour, no, two or ten minutes, I will hang it again when I come back, there will be no problem."

The doctor still wanted to refuse, but the door opened suddenly, Qin Wenyuan walked in and said, "Let him go, I will accompany him."

Qin Wenyuan spoke, but the doctor didn't insist anymore. After untying his bandages, the nurse brought over a wheelchair.Qin Wenyuan picked up Tao Heng and put him in the wheelchair, pushing him outside.

"Ji Muqiao's operation was successful. He is currently under observation in the intensive care unit, but he is still awake." On the way, Qin Wenyuan explained the current situation to Tao Heng.

"When will he wake up?" Tao Heng asked calmly.

"I don't know," Qin Wenyuan said honestly, "The doctor said that if he can get through tonight safely, he will wake up soon, if not..."

Qin Wenyuan didn't say anything later, Tao Heng was suffocated, his hand on his lap grabbed the trouser leg suddenly, and his body trembled slightly.

Qin Wenyuan was very distressed, but he didn't say anything, and silently pushed him to the door of the intensive care unit.

Qin Wenyuan said hello in advance, and someone let him go. Qin Wenyuan pushed Tao Heng in, and came to the outside of a ward with glass, so that Tao Heng could see Jimu Bridge through the glass.

Ji Muqiao was lying on the hospital bed, his whole body was covered with tubes, his face was pale and lifeless, Tao Heng couldn't stand it after just one glance, tears were streaming down his face, is this still the high-spirited Ji Muqiao?

Qin Wenyuan pressed his shoulder and squeezed it, and quickly withdrew his hand. He thought, he is the one who is the least qualified to stabilize Tao Heng now, but besides him, who else can comfort him.

He suddenly felt that Tao Heng was very pitiful, a man who was forced into a corner by him, had no friends, no freedom, and now he didn't even have health. What was he doing these days?

Mingming had already put this person in his heart, but he still wanted to hurt him time and time again, and when he used up all the remaining love, he found that the most precious thing had been lost in the end.

I don't know if it's too late to say "love" now.

Qin Wenyuan is sure that he loves Tao Heng, it's not a whim, it's the kind that doesn't want to be separated for the rest of his life, wants to lock him firmly by his side, and take good care of him.This kind of love has long existed in the heart, rooted in the flesh and blood, and has been silently stretching since a long time ago, it is difficult to detect, and it is as natural as breathing.

It was only now that Qin Wenyuan understood why he always became irritable when Tao Heng wanted to leave him. Subconsciously, he was afraid that Tao Heng would leave because he knew that once he left, they would become strangers to each other. The bond between them will disappear, and he can't stand such a change.

When Tao Heng returned to the ward, the doctor hoisted his feet up again. After the doctor left, Qin Wenyuan sent Chen Bo away and left him alone in the ward.

"Tao Heng, I know it's not appropriate now, but I have a few words to tell you." Qin Wenyuan dragged a chair over and stood by the bed, as if ready to have a long talk with Tao Heng, "I want to tell you ,I……"

"Let me go." Tao Heng interrupted him suddenly.

"What?" Qin Wenyuan didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Qin Wenyuan, I really beg you, just because Ji Muqiao is still lying there and hasn't woken up, please let me go, I really can't afford it, I beg you, I kneel down and beg How are you?" Tao Heng struggled to sit up, trying to take off the bandage he had just put on, "I beg you, I will kowtow to you, as long as I can let me go, I can do as many kowtows as you want."

He was very emotional, but he didn't shed a tear, as if all the tears had flowed away at the door of the intensive care unit, without the moisture of tears, his eyes were red from the heat.

Tao Heng is so pitiful.

Looking at his appearance, Qin Wenyuan thought sadly, he is really pitiful, what else can he say in the face of Tao Heng like this?

Confession?That was cruel.

For Tao Heng, what is needed most now is not confession, but freedom.

Qin Wenyuan held Tao Heng's shoulders, comforted him, and pushed him back on the bed. He sighed deeply, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Okay."

Tao Heng froze, looked at him in disbelief, opened his mouth, wanted to ask something but didn't dare to ask, for fear that asking would break the dream.

Qin Wenyuan caressed his thin cheeks, and his Adam's apple slid several times before he spoke again: "I promise you, we are divorced, Tao Heng, you are free."
