Deskmate, wake up

Tong Tong was angry, and finally smiled angrily, and slapped Zhou You's smooth back.

She got up and sat on his waist, pulling back his shoulders with both hands.

"Hey! Work harder! You haven't eaten yet!" Zhou You shouted.

"Damn it." Tong Tong switched to fists and hammered hard on him.

After hammering for less than 2 minutes, Tong Tong slowly lay down on his stomach tired, and fell asleep on Zhou You's generous and warm back with his head tilted and his eyes closed.

"Tong Tong." Zhou You called him softly.

Tong Tong snorted and took him back.

"Nothing will happen." Zhou You said.

"... Mmm." Tong Tong rubbed the tip of his nose against his neck.

"If you have something to resist, if you can't carry it, there is me, I will resist you." Zhou You raised his arm, "Look at this muscle, it can carry anything."

"Is it like now." Tong Tong smiled and pulled the stubble on the back of his head, "Am I heavy?"

"A little bit." Zhou You said.

Tong Tong is not happy anymore.

"Don't forget, even if you are skinny, you are still 1 meters tall! Tall! Tall!" Zhou You said again, emphasizing the word big and tall.

"That's 1.8 meters!" Tong Tong was happy again, "It's about the same height as you."

The two chatted for a while.

It should be the effect of the medicine, Tong Tong leaned on his back and fell asleep without knowing it.

"Tong Tong?" Zhou You called out again, but there was still no response.

Must be asleep.

This pose...

Zhou You sighed softly, unable to laugh out of embarrassment.

He turned his hands behind his back like practicing yoga, hooked Tong Tong's waist, and slowly moved the person lying on his back carefully and slowly.

"Back pain..." Tong Tong buried herself in the soft pillow in a daze, "Thai...massage..."

"Press, press." Zhou You lowered his head gently, and kissed the corner of his eyes, "Go to sleep, baby."

The next day, the two took a lot of things to the hospital according to Pei Yun's instructions.

"Why isn't my dad awake yet?" Tong Tong tidied up the cups and looked back at Mr. Tong Jingshen who hadn't woken up since they came in.

"I've been meeting every day for the past few days, so I finally took a chance to take a nap." Pei Yun poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, "Baby, your mouth is peeling, drink some water to moisten it."

After Tong Tong drank the water, he sat by the bed and waited for more than ten minutes, but his father still didn't wake up.

The doubts in Tong Tong's heart were getting bigger and bigger, he moved to the bedside worriedly, and called out softly: "Dad? Dad?"

Apart from frowning, Tong Jingshen had no other reaction.

"Dad, Daddy..."

Tong Jingshen still didn't respond.

"Mom...it's not right." Tong Tong was stunned, and quickly realized, "Call the doctor! Call the doctor!"

"What's wrong?" Pei Yun panicked.

Zhou You quickly pressed the call bell beside the bed, then ran out of the ward and rushed towards the nurse's station.

The doctor ran over quickly with the nurse, and just circled around the hospital bed.

Mr. Tong Jingshen suddenly opened his eyes.

The doctor stepped forward to observe the reflection of his pupils, and began to ask about the symptoms: "How does it feel?"

"What's wrong?" Tong Jingshen couldn't react, "I just..."

"My dad just fell asleep, and he can't wake up no matter how much he screams." Tong Tong explained.

"Dizzy and retching?" asked the doctor. "Anything else?"

"A little dizzy." Tong Jingshen frowned, "I don't seem to have much strength in my legs and hands."

"It shouldn't be a big problem, let's test the blood pressure first." The doctor took the nurse's blood pressure monitor.

After measuring the blood pressure, the doctor frowned and turned to tell the nurse the names of the medicines, then looked at the family members, "The blood pressure is a little high. If the blood pressure still doesn't drop after taking the medicine, it will be troublesome."

Tong Jingshen looked at the worried faces of his wife and children, and waved his hand: "What's the trouble, don't bother, I promise to come down tomorrow."

The next day, Mr. Tong Jingshen was very upbeat, and his blood pressure was under control after taking the medicine.

The whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhou You just called to say that there is an exam today." Pei Yun wiped Tong Tong's wet hair with a dry towel, "You go home and change your clothes before going to school."

Before Tong Tong could speak, Pei Yun continued: "I can't ask for leave anymore, I'll take care of Dad. You come back after school."

"Okay." Tong Tong glanced at Mr. Tong Jingshen lying on the bed.

Mr. Tong Jingshen was happily watching the TV series at the moment, and when he saw him looking over, he gave him a playful wink: "Do you feel like you are washing your hair with disinfectant when you wash your hair in the hospital?"

Pei Yun glared at him: "I'll wipe you with disinfectant later."

The school examination is a competitive place selection examination.Together with Zhou You, he signed up for the math and English competitions.

During the exam, Tong Tong's mind was full of his father, and he didn't have time to say a few words to Zhou You after the exam, so he quickly asked for leave and went to the hospital.

Tong Tong almost didn't go home on weekends, and stayed in the hospital all the time.

Just a few days.

Tong Jingshen's condition deteriorated, and his blood pressure went up. After taking the medicine, although his blood pressure didn't continue to rise, it didn't show a downward trend either.

Dizziness developed into headache, nausea and retching, and I could only eat a little every day, and I had no strength in my body.

The whole person lost weight at a very fast speed.

"The blood pressure can't come down, so the situation is not very good now." The doctor frowned tightly, "Now that there are initial complications, we can only rely on dialysis to delay the time, but the situation may deteriorate at any time."

"How long is this time?" Tong Tong frowned.

"It's hard to say. Some people can't do it in a few months or even a few weeks. Some people can last three years, five years or ten years. Individual differences are very large."

"If by that time, if I can't control it..." Everyone present knew what Pei Yun didn't say.

"At that time, the only option is a kidney transplant." The doctor replied, "Kidney transplantation is currently the only way to treat kidney failure."

The doctor sighed softly, and continued: "But kidney sources are scarce. I don't need to say more about this. As the patient's family members, you should know better than me. Therefore, you can only try your best to wait for the kidney source. Of course, you can also Think about matching between immediate family members."

Pei Yun was stunned.

She didn't understand why it happened all of a sudden.

"Thank you, doctor." Tong Tong quickly recovered from her surprise, and sent the doctor outside the door.

When he came back, he quickly grabbed his mother's cold hand and comforted him softly: "Mom, Dad will be fine."

Pei Yun was already stunned, she didn't know what to do, if it really came to the last step.

Tong Jingshen's parents passed away a long time ago, and the only immediate family members are...

Pei Yun turned to look at Tong Tong.

But Tong Tong is only 18 years old and will soon be a senior in high school.

She slowly withdrew her hand, turned and went to the bathroom.

Tong Tong was distracted in class recently, often staring at the paper in a daze, and the teacher called him up to answer questions, often with a dazed expression.

The ringing of the bell for the end of get out of class can startle him.

Zhou You was very worried about Tong Tong in this state, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know where to start.

He could only keep an eye on Tong Tong's situation.

"Tong Tong." Director Li appeared at the front door, "Come with me."

Tong Tong didn't hear it.

"Tong Tong? Tong Tong..." Zhou You leaned over and called him.

"Ah...?" Tong Tong recovered.

"Director Li called you." Zhou You frowned and looked at him, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, why do you keep asking me this recently?" Tong Tong smiled, shrugged, got up and walked towards the office.

"What's the situation?" Director Li threw out several papers, "I didn't write the Chinese and English compositions? There are three empty questions in mathematics? I won't talk about the others. Do you know how much your overall ranking has dropped this time?" Are you kidding me?"

Tong Tong froze for a moment before focusing on the paper.

That was the monthly exam paper a few days ago.

"You couldn't even get into the quota test for the competition test a while ago. This is so strange." Director Li stood up with a puzzled face, "Tong Tong, what happened?"

"...It's okay." Tong Tong avoided subconsciously.

"It's okay? It's okay, can you be in this state?" Director Li was angry and sad, "The mid-term exam is coming soon, you have to adjust immediately. It's only a few months before the third year of high school. It will happen in a blink of an eye. If you are still in this state in the third year of high school, You can't even get into a university, do you know that?"

Tong Tong couldn't say anything, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he was clear-headed, and sometimes he could laugh with his classmates.

He felt that his emotions were not affected.But the time to be distracted is getting more and more, and I can't even write a single paper.

Nothing was on his mind, not even his father's illness.Just staring blankly.

This state frightened him, but he couldn't change it.

He could only try his best to adjust his mental state and concentrate desperately in class.

This unusually tough attitude allowed him to finally write the entire paper coherently.

But Pei Yun's condition got worse and worse as Tong Jingshen's condition got worse.

After a few weeks, she became less talkative, sometimes unable to speak three sentences a day.The work of the piano shop has not been done either.

Tong Tong can desperately adjust himself, but there is nothing he can do about it.

The only thing that relieved Tong Tong was that there was no shortage of money in the family. His father made a lot of money a while ago, and he didn't know if it was for today.

It's always better than before, Tong Tong thought so, and managed to relax a bit.

"Eat some more." Zhou You frowned to stop Tong Tong from getting up.

"I'm full." Tong Tong put another packaged portion into the insulated lunch box, "Go ahead and eat, I'll send the food over and come back."

Pei Yun is in a bad mood these days and often forgets to eat.

So Tong Tong had to go to the hospital from school after lunch, and he could only rest assured by staring at his mother while eating.

"I'll accompany you." Zhou You didn't eat anymore.

"Zhou You!" A male voice suddenly came from outside the Claypot Restaurant.

The two turned their heads together to see that it was Director Li.

"How are you preparing for the competition! You can't be caught yet, right? Run away as soon as school is over!" Director Li rushed in holding a thermos, glaring at them.

"Talk to Director Li. I'll be back before class in the afternoon." Tong Tong smiled and put on the lunch box, "Goodbye, Director Li."

"Hey!" Zhou You wanted to chase him away, but Director Li grabbed his clothes, "Do you know what your results are in this city's math competition! The school has very high hopes for you now! You are very likely to be ranked in the whole country... "

Tong Tong got out of the car and went straight to the inpatient department, her hurried steps slowed down outside the door of the ward.

He stood at the door for 2 minutes, took two deep breaths, waited for a smile to appear on his lips, and then opened the door and went in: "Mom, guess what to eat today!"

Pei Yun sat by the bed, looked up at him, then turned his head again, expressionless.

Mr. Tong Jingshen slept very quietly, and it seemed that the whole ward was too oppressive.

Tong Tong almost felt out of breath, but with the situation at home, he could no longer show his downcast expression.

Otherwise, there would really be no opening for breathing in this family.

He took a deep breath, slowly unscrewed the lunch box, and smiled: "Today I brought the ribs that my dad likes to eat. My dad will definitely wake up after smelling the smell."

Pei Yun didn't speak.

"Two bites." Tong Tong sat down next to her, smiling coquettishly, "Mom, it's very delicious."

Pei Yun looked at the smile on his face, sighed, and forced a smile.

He took the lunch box and took two bites.

Tong Jingshen suddenly coughed twice on the hospital bed.

Pei Yun immediately put down the lunch box and leaned over to check.

Mr. Tong Jingshen coughed twice and fell silent again, still in a deep sleep.

"Tong Tong, go to class." Pei Yun turned around, screwed on the lid of the lunch box, and handed it to him, "I really can't eat."

Tong Tong looked at all the food and sighed invisibly.

"I'll put these biscuits here." Tong Tong took out the biscuit chocolate that Zhou You stuffed in somehow from his pocket, put it down, and told her, "Eat when you're hungry."

"Okay." Pei Yun nodded.

Tong Tong turned around and left the ward with the lunch box in hand.

The smile that was always on his face disappeared the moment he left the ward.

He walked forward in silence.

There were many people waiting for the elevator, and it was a mess. Tong Tong waited for a while, then turned and entered the stairwell.

The stairwell was empty.

All sounds are isolated, as if covered by a film.

Tong Tong stood holding on to the handrail, looking down at the long and straight stairs in front of her.The screen in front of me swung and changed, and a vast abyss with black smoke suddenly appeared.

If he takes another step forward, he will fall.

'Ding Ding Ding' rings.

Tong Tong closed her eyes, lowered her head and took out her phone, it was Zhou You calling.

"Tongtong? Where are you?" Zhou You waved at Pei Yun in the ward, and walked towards the front corridor, "I just..."

"I'll just go back. I just got out of the hospital." Tong Tong smiled, "Did you just finish talking to Director Li? He didn't scold you, did he?"

"No, you scolded me, can you scold me back?" Zhou You also laughed twice.

"Curse, definitely scold." Tong Tong said with a smile.

Zhou You paused, turned around, and looked at the ward a few steps away from him.

Pei Yun's current state made him feel depressed, let alone Tong Tong.

Tong Tong's tone of pretending to be relaxed and joking with him made his heart twist together.

"Hang up first, I'll be right there." Tong Tong hung up the phone.

He glanced at the time displayed on his phone, and it was almost too late for class.

He looked ahead at the stairs returning to normal.

He didn't know how to change the current situation. Whether it was an abyss or a thorny road ahead, he had to move forward.

Tong Tong took a long breath and let it out slowly.

He shrugged his shoulders easily, raised his head and walked down.

One lift, one fall.

There was a harsh sound of metal rubbing.He stepped on something particularly hard and slipped.

He sprained his ankle, lost his balance, fell on his back and fell backwards.

Tong Tong was speechless, and those who were speechless wanted to laugh.When people are unlucky, they really drink cold water and get stuck between their teeth.

Tong Tong was afraid of knocking his head on the stairs, so he immediately supported it with his hands, his wrists hurt from the shock, but at least he didn't roll down.

Sliding down a few steps along the stairs, Tong Tong grabbed the handrail and stabilized.

Before he had time to react from this sudden change, a sharp female voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

Tong Tong was startled, and barely hopped on one foot to stand up.First of all, there is a mess as far as the eye can see.

It should be that the lunch box in his hand flew out just now, and the food was scattered all over the stairs.

There is a curly-haired aunt standing in the stairwell in front, who should have pushed the door just in time to come out.Rice spilled on her feet.

"Hey! Who! Can you be more careful!" The aunt patted her clothes in disgust and complained, "It's all on my clothes! What are you doing!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Tong Tong apologized embarrassingly, walked over, and hurriedly went to get a tissue in his pocket.

"No, it's dirty." The woman pushed his hand away, cursed and walked downstairs.

It was quiet again in the stairwell.

Tong Tong held up the tissue in his hand and stared blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

He stared at the food scattered all over the floor, looked around but didn't see anything to clean up, so he could only slowly pick up the food on the ground with the paper towel in his hand.

The palm of my hand should have just been worn out, but now it is so painful from the rough tissue.

The insulated lunch box rolled to the next flight of stairs.

He held the meal wrapped in a tissue in one hand, and reached for the lunch box with the other.

The fingertips touched the edge of the lunch box, and the lunch box 'paji' turned down.

Tong Tong took another step forward and reached for it.

The lunch box 'Paji Paji' rolled twice.

Tong Tong laughed angrily.

The lunch box rolled down section by section as if against him.

Tong Tong chased after two steps and suddenly felt extremely tired, and couldn't move his smile anymore. He felt that he was so tired that he couldn't breathe, so he stopped.

The lunch box also stopped suddenly.

But Tong Tong stood still, and slowly straightened his stiff waist that could be broken.

Tong Tong's nasal cavity was sore, as if someone had punched him in the face, and he kept taking deep breaths to control his emotions that were on the verge of collapse.

"It's on the top, a child made it." A vague complaint came from below, "I don't know what to do in a hurry, are you going to the funeral, my pair of shoes..."

A certain word made Tong Tong stop breathing suddenly.

This state of being torn apart while desperately mending the leak was finally broken.

Tong Tong kicked the lunch box away angrily, the sound exploded violently, and the sound under the stairs stopped abruptly.

Panting heavily, Tong Tong opened her mouth, wanting to shout out.But he couldn't make any sound, his throat was so congested that he couldn't even breathe.

How come this is so?

Why is it like this...

He asked himself this question over and over again.

He doesn't know, he can't change it.

Tong Tong gasped for breath, and slowly sat down on the messy stairs, her eyes were red.

As the tears fell, he lowered his head and closed his eyes.

Zhou You came down from the upstairs ward, walking up the stairs, walking quickly.

Zhou You heard certain voices, and continued walking down with uncertainty.

He rounded another corner of the stairs, his whole body stiffened, and he stopped.

He saw Tong Tong who was smiling at him on the phone just now, saw Tong Tong who was sitting on the stairs with his head bowed and curled up into a ball, and saw Tong Tong who was crying hoarsely and depressedly.
