【Chenghua】Your hand in mine

>>>>>>

In the autumn of [-], a yellow maple leaf floated into the ward and just fell on the lying person.The injured eyelids moved slowly, and then opened, pouring into a large piece of white with the smell of disinfectant.The nurse who made the rounds rushed out, and he woke up—after sleeping for more than half a year accompanied by the low working sound of the instrument.The west slanting sun shines into the ward countless times, the medicine and bandages are constantly being consumed, and the empty drip bottles can be piled up to fill the entire warehouse. Nutrients are injected into the body bit by bit, and the body is pushed in and out , The visitors who came and went rarely came to visit later, and surrounded the bed after he woke up.Noisy and noisy, only one person watched him silently outside the door.

Kakyoin opened his eyes, there was no one, the ward was empty, drips were on his hands, and it was pitch black outside the window.He didn't know if he had slept for a day or half a year, the yellowish white tone gave him the illusion of going back to the past, but his body could move freely, and the old abdominal injury didn't hurt anymore.He got out of bed and walked to the corridor with the drip stand. There was no one there, and the surroundings were silent.Something was wrong, Kakyoin pulled out the needle by himself, found the clothes he was wearing in the closet, changed them, and hurried to the emergency room.As soon as the elevator door opened, he understood that most people were concentrated on this floor, all of them were doctors, and there were very few people wearing SpeedWagon work uniforms—they all returned to their original jobs after completing their tasks.

Kujo Jotaro's ward is at the end of the K area, which seems to be specially arranged, and you need to swipe the hospital card to enter.Kakyoin searched all over his body but couldn't find a work permit. He couldn't get in if he couldn't prove his identity. He looked around and quietly released the double. They surrounded Jotaro's ward in the same way, and slowly approached the bed after all the people in the room came out.If it was in the past, Shirokin must have sensed it and jumped out to stop him, but today he was sleeping with his master on the bed, so the Emperor was able to hold Jotaro's finger, and then gently wrapped his wrist with the medicine on it, The pulse with body temperature is clearly transmitted to the nerves of Kakyoin through the translucent green, and it is quite strong.When Jotaro was carried into the helicopter that day, what was lying on the stretcher seemed to be some object rather than a person.It is only now that Kakyoin has the real feeling that he is indeed still alive.

In recent years, due to the special nature of the work, dead bodies are not uncommon in Huajingyuan.Some stand-in messengers who are unwilling to be captured will take a large number of hostages, including men, women and children, and they will be extremely ruthless.The hunting process is often accompanied by sacrifices. He can't let those cold bodies lie alone in the wilderness. After the mission is over, he will take care of the funeral of the dead with his teammates.At least let these poor people rest in dignity.He is not a priest, nor does he believe in religion. He may never get used to seeing others off with his own hands, let alone seeing off those around him. He has never thought about this kind of thing, but he has thought about it over and over during the few days when his friend disappeared. all over.He is the one who said that people are still alive, and he is the one who is disturbed in his heart. Kakyoin admits that he is afraid, afraid that Jotaro will leave here, and he will not be able to return from the gate of hell.

Fortunately, Jotaro is fine, but needs to rest.Huajing Hospital didn't stay long, and after standing at the door for a while, he returned to his ward. The nurse who changed the bottle was looking for patients everywhere, and saw him scolding him all over the face, saying why are you running around, lie down for me, He was a little rough when re-administering the drip.Kakyoin was in pain, vowed never to mess with this elderly woman again, and obediently rested on the bed for a day.Jotaro didn't seem to wake up so quickly. He lay on the bed every day with his eyes closed, half of his head wrapped in a bandage, and was watched and guarded by the people in the hospital.So Kakyoin also stayed in the hospital for a few days, occasionally visiting Jotaro, and every time he let the Emperor go in to see the situation, while he himself stood outside the door to observe from a distance.After coming and going, the people who watched the guards were familiar, and he took the initiative to chat with them. Everyone said that Jotaro's recovery is very optimistic, and he should be able to wake up soon.And the little girl stared at Jotaro's sleeping face and blushed, whispering that she fell in love with him.Kakyoin smiled wryly.

His Italian teammate called and asked him when he would go back, and there was still work to be done.Dongfang also returned to the hospital from another place and was in charge of taking care of Jotaro. Kakyoin felt that he would have nothing to do if he stayed, so he left the United States.

As soon as he walked away, Jotaro opened his eyes, one, and the other could never be opened.After waiting for a long time, Jotaro only heard the sound of pages rubbing against each other.Dongfang was sitting on the chair beside the bed, flipping through an outdated magazine, when he realized that the person on the bed had woken up, he called the doctor, sat back after the physical examination, Ask Jotaro if he needs any help.The other party was silent for a long time, as if understanding what had happened, Dongfang waited quietly.

"...Where is Xu Lun?" Jotaro finally remembered something, and moved his body to the side of the bed. "Where is Xu Lun? How is she?"

"He's rescued. He's fine. He's in another ward." Dongfang said, stopping Jotaro who wanted to get out of bed.His body, which had not moved for more than ten days, was as difficult to move as an old metal gate. He was easily pushed back on the bed and covered with a quilt. "Mr. Jotaro, you need to rest. If you act rashly, I will be troubled. Xu Lun has someone to take care of him. What does his name seem to be... Anna Sui?"

The surrounding air seemed to be packed into a high-pressure pump, which startled Dongfang. He went in without knowing it. He only felt something when he visited Xu Lun's ward on the second and third day. He couldn't hold back his exuberant 30-year-old Out of curiosity, he wanted to ask Jotaro about the situation.

"..."

……forget it.The topic changed, and Dongfang asked him if he wanted to heal the wound on his face as well.The remaining eye widened slightly, then dropped, and Jotaro shook his head.

"No, just let it stay, some things shouldn't be forgotten. This is also a lesson."

Dongfang was stunned. He scratched his nose, thought for a while, and said, "You said the same thing as Mr. Kakyoin."

"What?" Jotaro looked at him, surprised.

It turned out that when he first met Kakyoin, Dongfang offered to help him repair the injuries on his eyelids and abdomen, but was rejected.Kakyoin said almost the same thing as Jotaro. He felt that those injuries reminded him of the fact that he was still alive. If he was healed, it would be like losing something, and he would be very disturbed.

After hearing this, Jotaro didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he subconsciously pulled the brim of his hat, but there was nothing on his head, the hat was on the cabinet next to the hospital bed, and Dongfang had already repaired it.He put his hand down, a smile froze on his face.

If it were him, he would indeed say so.

As soon as he got permission to get out of bed, Jotaro immediately went to visit Xu Lun in hospital slippers, walking very slowly, Dongfang followed behind, and after walking a few steps, the middle-aged man couldn't help turning his head to let him go back to the ward stay here.

"What are you following me for?"

"Mr. Kakyoin, please ask me to take care of you." After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and denied, saying that Mr. Kakyoin had never been here, and the result became darker and darker. Really never been here.

"Really?"

"It's on the phone, it's on the phone."

"I see." Jotaro withdrew his gaze, and the matter ended here, and he never mentioned it again.

Don't tell him I've been here.Before leaving, Kakyoin asked everyone, including Dongfang.Although this kind of thing can be known by checking the passport records, and it was revealed so quickly, he tried to convince himself that what happened in the Atlantic Ocean was really not big, not serious, and it was not worth living the rest of his life.As for Jotaro, why didn't he understand the other party's mood.Their positions were switched many years ago. Kakyoin was pushed into the operating room covered in blood, pushed out, and then went back in. He returned to Japan and lay in the ICU all day. His body experienced countless rejection reactions. Dian Dian was completely repaired, and it took half a year to return to the human world after being in a coma, and it took another half a year to be transferred to the general ward, and it will be a long time before going to the ground for rehabilitation.Compared with him, I am not much better, my life is tough, I barely picked it up, if it is not for Dongfang, it is still a question of whether I can survive.

Thinking of this, Jotaro's mood softened.Press the floor where Xu Lun is, it's good for you to follow, I need someone to accompany me, he said.Dongfang didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. When they came to Xu Lun's ward, the man with long red hair who was rescued first—that is, Anna Sui, was already inside. The two chatted with their backs to the door. I was so happy that I didn't notice the visitor at all.Jotaro's expression was a bit ugly, Dongfang watched from the side, and finally found the source of the low air pressure a few days ago.He was anxious for a few minutes, but the father left peacefully.

"Is it like this every day?" Jotaro asked.

"Almost, why don't I say something?"

"It's not necessary." He sighed heavily.

In fact, even if Anna Sui wasn't around, Jotaro didn't know what to say to Xu Lun.He is not very human, doesn't know how to greet, he treats everyone the same. A long time ago, before Kakyoin woke up, he would apply to be admitted to the ICU for 5 minutes, and shake the other person's cold hand through the glove. After regaining consciousness, he would not go in. Because I don't know how to speak.Even to his mother, he was used to caring with actions rather than words.After having a daughter, Jotaro still hasn't made much progress, and his communication experience with Xu Lun is almost zero.Compared with herself, the company of people of similar age must make her happier.

Jotaro planned to postpone the meeting with his daughter, but in the evening, Xu Lun ran over by himself.At that time, he was very bored, flipping through the outdated magazines that Jousuke read, which were full of entertainment and lace news, and he had never seen any of the faces of the protagonists in the center. He lacked interest, but there was nothing in the hospital. The only TV in the house was still broken and couldn't receive a signal.Footsteps sounded at the door of the ward, probably Dongfang came back, Jotaro threw the magazine on the bedside table in dissatisfaction, and said, "Jousuke, are you...Xu Lun tomorrow?"

Xu Lun was pushed in, wearing a hospital gown, with uncombed hair hanging down to his waist.Dongfang appeared behind her and asked Jotaro what he wanted from him.

"How is this going?"

"When I came back, I saw her looking around the door, as if she didn't dare to come in." Dongfang said with a smile, pushing Xu Lun all the way to Jotaro's bedside. "Okay, let's talk about something tonight, let's talk about it." He backed out without forgetting to close the door.

Jotaro and Xu Lun looked at each other, and the atmosphere was awkwardly silent.In the end, it was the father who spoke first, and you sat down first.

"How is your body recovering? Are you okay?" Jotaro deliberately turned his face to the right to hide the injured half of his face.The bandage has been removed, and the scar is almost visible except for the gauze covering the right eye.He didn't want to scare his daughter.

"Very good, where's Dad? Your eyes..." Xu Lun poked forward.

"It's okay, it's just one eye."

The father's sudden gentle tone made Xu Lun's nose a little sour.She used to hate him so much, hated him for abandoning his mother, hated him for not caring about him, hated him for not even going to the police station to release her on bail, what she hated the most was no love, why did she let her come into this world .Xu Lun made up his mind not to forgive his father easily, even though he came to the prison alone to save her, lost half of his eyesight because of his daughter, and almost died in the sea-Xu Lun was still firm in his heart.But the moment she saw Jotaro, the scar on her father's face pierced into her heart, she lost all thoughts, she couldn't bear to be cold and couldn't do it.

The two chatted for a long time, most of the time it was Xu Lun who spoke and Jotaro listened.Probably because of the loose hair, Xu Lun looked smaller than usual, like an ordinary little girl, although her speech was not ordinary at all.She talked about the people and things she met in prison, the heartache when she lost her comrades in arms, and when she saw Ames two days ago, she kept teasing the handsome male doctor and asked if she wanted the underwear she wore pants.The matter about Anna Sui started and stopped immediately.

"what happened?"

"You seem to dislike him very much."

"But you like it." Jotaro recalled the scene in the morning. "At least it's nice to be with him."

"Maybe." In the final battle, Xu Lun agreed to Anna Sui's marriage proposal, if he won.She would like to discuss it with her father, but now is not the time.

"But how did Dad know..."

"I went to look at your ward, but didn't say hello. As long as you're fine, other things don't matter."

"……dad……"

Xu Lun was so moved that he wanted to hug Jotaro, the door slammed open as soon as he stretched out his hand, and Anna Sui rushed over excitedly when she saw her.

"Xu Lun! I've been looking for you for a long time. The man named Dongfang said that you are here...your father is also here? Just right, I have something I want to discuss with you, it's like this..."

"Get out." This was the first and last sentence Jotaro said to Anna Sui that night, with anger squeezed from the depths of his teeth.

"Mr. Jotaro, what do you want me to do in the evening?"

"Help me go to the nearby library to borrow some books related to oceanography, anything, and ask the hospital if there is a lamp, it's very dark here at night. Also," Jotaro pointed to the gossip magazine. "Don't look at this kind of stuff, it's a waste of time."

"Thank you, Josuke, though."

Dongfang scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
