lark

In the early morning, the hospital.

The emergency building is brightly lit no matter what time of day it is, and it is no different now.There were crowds of people outside the emergency room, and several young people stood in two rows respectfully and anxiously, with two elders and two juniors fidgeting in the middle.

"Zhang Hong." Ou Can's clothes were rare and plain, his expression was extremely nervous, his face was almost crying, "My brother... will my brother be all right?"

Zhang Hong, who was named by her, stood aside with a stern face, his eyes were red under the lens, and he was silent and did not speak.

Seeing his reaction like this, Ou Can was even more confused, turned his head and held Bai Shaorong's hand and cried, "Mom...what should I do? Cousin..."

"Don't talk." Bai Shaorong covered the back of her hand with his hand, and repeated with a trembling voice, "Don't talk."

After saying this, she turned her back slowly, and chanted Buddhist scriptures devoutly and silently facing the white wall.

Only Qi Zhonghui sat in the chair from the beginning to the end without saying a word, his fingers were tightly clasped together, his eyes were black and blue, he seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

There was a rush of footsteps from outside the corridor, and Lin Nanyishan rushed into the thin-air emergency room in a mess: "Zhang Hong, Mr. Qi, he—"

As soon as he finished the first half of the sentence, the scene in front of him made him silent for an instant.Everyone looked at him together, unfamiliar, sharp, and lacking in friendliness.

Qi Zhonghui stood up abruptly, and stood in the middle of the road with sonorous steps, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

After staring at Lin Nan for a few seconds, he glanced left and right, and said in an oppressive manner, "Who asked him to come?"

Lin Nan didn't know the stern elder in front of him, and he didn't bother to figure out who the other party was. He only had one thing on his mind at the moment.

In the next second, his pale cheeks turned to Zhang Hong, his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and he asked for help, "Zhang Hong...is he okay? How is he? He—"

Zhang Hong walked up to him quickly: "Hemorrhagic shock, liver rupture, and is being rescued."

When Lin Nan heard this, the breath stuck in his throat made his chest tight, and he almost fainted in the dark immediately before his eyes. Zhang Hong supported his shaking body to barely stand still.

"thanks……"

With a pale face, he raised his eyes to look at the red light on the door of the emergency room. He felt that the light was extremely dazzling. After being in a daze for two seconds, he was about to grab the person in front of him and ask further questions, when he suddenly heard a vicissitudes of life: "Ah Force! Get him out!"

Then came the sound of two footsteps.Zhang Hong was pushed aside, the light in front of his eyes was blocked by the person's body, and his arms were grabbed before he could figure out what was going on.

"I..." Lin Nan hadn't recovered from the shock of Qi Yubai's shock rescue, his mouth was bitten somewhere, and there was a sweet smell of iron rust spreading.He looked at the two strange youths beside him and then at the elder, "Why don't you let me stay here?"

"Old man." Zhang Hong's usually calm voice also raised his voice several times, "Be merciful. I informed him to come. He is a friend of Mr. Qi. Please—"

"Enough!" Qi Zhonghui took a step forward, his chest heaved several times, and he shouted loudly: "What are you waiting for?!"

The people around looked at each other, and immediately began to exert force, grabbing Lin Nan's arms and shoulders and trying to take him away forcibly.

"Wait!" Lin Nan began to struggle, "Who are you? Why don't you let me wait here? You have no right to do that!"

The red light is still on, he wants to stay, he must stay, Qi Yubai's life and death are uncertain, no one can take him away from here at this moment.

"Who am I?" Qi Zhonghui frowned, "The person lying inside is my son!"

The air was silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan's pupils shrank sharply, struggling to move forward while desperately fighting against the two hands that were pulling him, "You are...you are his father? Uncle, uncle, I am really Mr. Qi's friend, I am not Lie to you, let me stay, please let me stay. I don't do anything, I just want to wait for news here!"

Zhang Hong finally couldn't see it, he frowned and hurried to Qi Zhonghui and said in a low voice: "Director Qi, there are many people here, please consider President Qi's mood, and don't make things difficult for him."

Qi Zhonghui turned his head and stared angrily in the next second, and his angry voice echoed in the corridor: "I think too much about his mood to make it like this! Ali! What are you waiting for?!"

"Qi Dong, Qi Dong!" Lin Nan's slender wrists were bruised and purple, his brain was in pain like a knife saw, his cheeks were flushed with effort and shame, but his legs were still standing firmly without knowing where the strength came from. Holding on, desperately refusing to leave.

"Please don't let me go, I, I must stay here, I must make sure he is okay, please..."

His voice trembled, a large bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the two butterfly bones were pulled out under the action of external force. It looked like the only piece of exquisite porcelain left in a house that was on fire, and the beams collapsed. It will be smashed to pieces.

"Get out—!"

"Zhou Li!"

Suddenly, a thin girl inserted into the chaos, with two small hands, one on each side, firmly grabbed the arm on Lin Nan's arm.

"Let him go!" she yelled.

After only a second pause, Bai Shaorong and Qi Zhonghui shouted at the same time: "Xiao Can!"

"I said let him go!" Ou Chan seemed to have completely ignored the words of the elders behind him, staring at Zhou Li stubbornly with a pair of almond eyes.

"Second Miss," Zhou Li didn't want to be this villain at first, and looked at her even more embarrassed at this moment, "But Director Qi..."

"Let go of him!!" Ou Can directly opened the fingers of the two of them, and grabbed Lin Nan's arm like a brave sika deer, "None of you is allowed to drive him away!"

Only then did Lin Nan recognize her, his voice trembling, "Are you Ou Chan?"

Ou Chan nodded towards him, staring at everyone nervously.

"Ou Chan!" Bai Shaorong's voice became sharp in vain, "You have no place to talk here! Come here quickly, don't mess around."

But Ou Chan didn't give in at all, "Mom, Uncle, I know I'm a junior and I shouldn't interfere in this matter, but don't bully me too much. He just wants to wait here with us to hear from my cousin, Why are you so unwilling to accommodate such a thing?"

"Xiao Can!" Qi Zhonghui's eyes were gloomy, "You don't understand this matter, he is the one who made your cousin like this."

Lin Nan was stunned when he heard it, and just about to refute, he only heard the person in front of him say: "I know it's not him, he will never harm my cousin." She turned her eyes and stopped on the uncle's face, Gritting her teeth, she said, "Only my uncle would do this to my cousin."

"Ou Can!" Bai Shaorong exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about!!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Lin Nan also took her by the shoulder, and asked in disbelief, "What? Someone...someone harmed Mr. Qi?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Ou Can closed her eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them suddenly as if she had made up her mind, and looked straight at Qi Zhonghui, "It's my uncle who made my cousin like this, it's my uncle."

"What are you talking about!" Qi Zhonghui's forehead was bulging with blue veins, "He is my son, how could I harm him?!"

Bai Shaorong walked up to Ou Chan in two or three steps and grabbed her hand, "Come here!"

"I'm not going, I'm not going!" Ou Chan got the courage out of nowhere, and stood motionless in front of Lin Nan, "I'm not talking nonsense, I have evidence!"

Several voices sounded at the same time: "What evidence?!"

She walked quickly to the chair and picked up her bag, murmuring "I have evidence" while searching through it with both hands.

"Found it!" She threw the bag on the ground and held up a mobile phone in front of everyone, "The evidence is here."

"Mobile phone?" Lin Nan asked.

Ou Chan's hair was messy, his hands were trembling because of excitement, he choked up while pointing at the screen, and said: "The evidence was given to me by my cousin himself, and the email he sent to me was only sent to me. I understand."

Everyone around was stunned by her extreme reaction, and no one stopped her for a while, and the corridor fell into an ice-like silence.

"It's this one, it's this one." She opened it hastily, and was about to hand the phone to her mother and uncle, but then quickly withdrew her hand, "No, I can't give it to you, you will delete it. I'll read it to you."

Everyone was silent, but their hearts were full of turmoil. No one knew what kind of email was waiting for them.Lin Nan didn't even know what evidence, what emails, and why his father would harm his son again.

Ou Chan looked around at the crowd, then lowered his head again, his eye circles turned red before he started reading.She sniffed, holding back her tears and said, "Sent time: 22:49, the sender is my cousin's private mailbox, the content is... the content is..."

But when it came to this, she couldn't go on anymore, and she squatted on the ground and began to cry.

Qi Zhonghui grabbed the phone one step ahead, "Let me see!"

-

On that day, Qi Yubai hadn't reunited with Lin Nan, but he had already started to see a doctor, and he vomited twice during the day because of stress gastritis, Zhang Hong remembered.That day, after meeting Fang Qiran, Qi Yubai returned to the old house, sat at the desk in his room, and typed this email word by word on the screen:

Xiaocan,

I recently tried to see a psychiatrist again, and the problem finally got a little better.The doctor advised me to communicate with those close to me more about my inner thoughts, which would be of great help to my condition.I thought about it, and only you, my cousin, are willing to take the time to listen to me say a few more words, so I might as well tell you everything I want to say to the people around me.However, it is inevitable to be cautious in face-to-face analysis, and the written form is better.

Cousin has not been very happy in the past few years, and you must know that the root cause is my mother's death.To this day, I still regret it, but I also understand that people cannot be resurrected after death, and I plan to do my best to come out and live my life well.

Regrettably, my father has been obsessed with past memories and is unwilling to get out of the haze.His mother's death hit him hard, and it's understandable for him to blame me for the fault.My sexual orientation indirectly caused him to lose the love of his life, making him single in his later years; I insisted on refusing to get married, and my mother’s greatest wish during her lifetime could not be fulfilled, which made him regret to this day; Le missed.

These things are indeed that I feel sorry for him, so even though he has been putting pressure on me and making me feel frustrated in my career, I don't hate him.It's just a pity that the estrangement has become, and our father and son can no longer confided in the same way as before.But if he is willing to understand me more and listen to me calmly, I am actually willing to have a good talk with him, after all, we are the closest people in the world.

The family relationship between father and son is above all else, and he must think so too.

Apart from my father, I only have you and my aunt by my side, and my uncle is far away abroad for the time being.My aunt loved me very much since I was a child, and she quickly forgave me after the accident, and never used words to provoke me like my father.It's a pity that there is inevitably a generation gap between the two generations, and it's normal for her not to understand me.In the future, I will respect and love her as always, and I will also find ways to help my uncle's career, and strive to reunite your family as soon as possible. You don't have to be polite to me about this matter.

As for you, you are both a cousin and a friend. You have always supported me unconditionally and often enlightened my cousin.Cousin has a lot of gratitude in his heart, but it's just because of his personality, he has never expressed it.In fact, sometimes I also envy you, you are free and easy, free and unrestrained, not as depressed as I am.But there are only you and me in our family, my cousin is already very happy that you can live the life you want.By the way, I have ordered someone from abroad for the birthday present you said you wanted some time ago, and I believe it will be delivered in time.

There is another name I don't know if you remember, Lin Nan.

He is also a very important person to me.Since today is to be frank with one's heart, this name has to be mentioned.Our story has been told to you, but only recently I learned that it was only the second half, and he kept the first half from me.After obtaining his permission, I will tell you again when I have a chance.In short, I actually misunderstood him. He is not a morally flawed person, only I am.

Before I met him, I felt that my life could see the end, and I just wanted to finish it quickly.But after meeting him, I couldn't help but want to slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way carefully, and go to a few more places with him. The later the destination, the better.I guess this is the kind of mood you are talking about: the beautiful things are really beautiful when they are appreciated with the people you love.

I didn't confess to you before that our separation was indeed caused by external forces.My father had his handle on him, and insisted that I break up with him, but in desperation I had no choice but to compromise.Thinking about it now, this was really the worst decision in my life.I thought I was doing it for his own good, but in fact, I didn't understand his real thoughts at all. Personal heroism alone determines the life and death of our relationship, which is an act of evasion and selfishness.

It was only after I separated from him that I realized that it was not so much that he needed me as that I needed him and needed me.When I realized that he might not need me anymore, I was actually very lost inside.Recently, Benyun's condition is not good, and I feel more anxious.I want to be of value to him forever, just because I'm afraid he'll leave me.

It is also because of him that I now decide to treat mental illness.His career is now on the rise, and his life path will become wider and wider in the future. I am worried that I will not be able to walk with him again.So I really hope that I can get better as soon as possible, that I can embrace the one I love without any burden, and no longer be timid.

This last paragraph is addressed to my mother whom I will never see again.The relationship between mother and child is shallow, and 30 years have passed by in a hurry. All sorry words can only be told to her one day when I also reach the sky.

It has been too long to write here.More than 1000 words were eloquently spoken, all of which were words that had never been said in the past 30 years. The feeling was indeed very different, and my heart was relieved a lot. It seemed that the doctor's words were true.If there is a need in the future, maybe I will write a second letter to you, but please don't reply to avoid embarrassment, otherwise I will mistakenly think that I have made a pen pal.

By the way, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, you should all take a look.

good luck.

Cousin Qi Yubai
