Small Times 3.0 Golden Age
Chapter 17 CHAPTER 16
Chapter 17 CHAPTER 16
Unknowingly, autumn is already so deep.The moisture in the air has solidified into tiny ice crystals invisible to the naked eye in the rapidly dropping temperature after nightfall. Each one is like a small thumbtack stuck in the air, waiting to penetrate into a person's hair and into the human body at any time. The pupils of the eyes penetrate into the hearts of people who are riddled with holes.
There are few pedestrians on the empty streets.They were all hiding in rooms with humming air conditioners, and in taxis with closed windows. People stared blankly at the even more empty world outside. They all frowned slightly, with a kind of tension in their eyes An indescribable loss.There was a kind of indifferent cruelty in this piece of silence.Just like those sculptures exhibited in museums, no matter how noble they are, it is difficult to conceal their decay and decline.
The clear smell of rotting fallen leaves is dissolved in the air, and the bare tree trunks reveal a kind of indifferent decadence.The leaden sky is as hard and transparent as glass. When the plane flies over it, it is like a coin passing through a mirror, and it can make a clanging sound.
I was so tormented by this sound that I had a splitting headache.Wrapped in a thick cotton coat, I leaned my head on the glass of the taxi. My lungs were still burning hot, like a pile of extinguished coals still flickering unwillingly. I coughed a few times, as if I had spit out a few Light the scorching sparks.
Along the way, I kept reading the text messages she sent me repeatedly: "Lin Xiao, my operation is ahead of schedule. I'm in the hospital now. After thinking about it, I still hope you can accompany me. I'm scared alone, come quickly .”
Based on my understanding of Gu Li, she must have planned to complete the operation silently by herself.However, she clearly overestimated her own capacity, and I understand the fear of putting on a surgical gown and sitting in the preparation room, waiting to be put on the hospital bed and wheeled into the operating room.When I was a sophomore in college, I just had an appendectomy, and the moment I put on the surgical gown, I couldn't help crying.At that time, Gu Li was by my side, she didn't grin at me like usual and spray venom to laugh at me, instead, she gently held my hand and comforted me repeatedly: "It's okay, I'm here."
However, I was in my sleep and didn't receive her text message.I watched the several missed calls from Gu Li a few minutes after the text message was sent, and my tears couldn't stop pattering on the phone screen.
Is she still sitting alone in the corridor of the hospital at this moment?Has she changed into the surgical gown yet?
Is there anyone around her?is she afraidDid someone pat her on the head and tell her "it's okay, I'm here"?
As I thought about it, her thinning forehead came back to me, and she looked like a spellbound swan suddenly transformed into an ugly duckling with sparse feathers.
My tonsils were so swollen they were touching my wisdom teeth and at any moment I thought I might bite them out.I moved my red, swollen and painful throat, and patted the back partition of the driver master: "Master, hurry up, hurry up."
The driver glanced at me in the rear-view mirror. I must have frightened him with tears and snot. The driver immediately said in a panic, "Little girl, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Don't worry, I'll be there soon." La! Hold on!"
I walked through the familiar gate, walked past the delicate and huge angel sculpture, crossed the path by the lake, and stumbled towards the direction of the hospital operating room.I feel like this place is like a spelled labyrinth, with an invisible monster gaping in the fog at the end, and it keeps eating our lives.
Gu Li's father, Chong Guang, Gong Ming, and I have been here three times because of them.
And now, it was Gu Li's turn.
I turned the corner and saw Tang Wanru and Nan Xiang sitting on the benches in the corridor.
In the empty corridor, the two of them sat on each side.Pale fluorescent lights overhead made the hallway cold and gloomy.They all lowered their heads at first, but at the sound of my footsteps, they straightened up and turned to look at me.
"Why are you here?" I looked at Nanxiang, then at Tang Wanru.The pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital cleared up my chaotic brain a lot, and the scorching heat in my lungs seemed to subside a little.
"Because you're not here." Nan Xiang looked at me with a cold light in her beautiful eyes.Her charming and charming eyes were obviously red and swollen at the moment.I have a sore throat and talking is like swallowing a needle. I don't want to find out why Nan Xiang said these inexplicable words to me. I'm not in the mood to guess riddles with her at the moment, let alone play games with her.I didn't bother to answer her at all.
"Because Gu Li couldn't find you, she called me. To be honest, I couldn't believe it at first, so I called Nan Xiang and asked her to come with me. You know, I'm rather stupid, if anything happens, with Nan Xiang here, at least she can help with an idea." Tang Wanru came over, she saw how weak I was, supported me, and sat down on the bench.
I sat down next to each other and wrapped my coat tighter.Why do I feel so cold when the heater is turned on in the corridor of the hospital?I looked at Nan Xiang opposite. She was wearing a close-fitting dark blue cashmere dress. The thin material wrapped her slender figure in a delicate and convex shape, making her very attractive.She doesn't look cold at all.
"Where's Gu Li?" I didn't want to look at her anymore, I felt disgusted seeing her, so I turned to look at Tang Wanru and asked.
"Already in the operating room. When Nan Xiang and I came over, she was about to enter the operating room. She was sitting on a trundle bed and was about to put on her surgical hat... I saw her hair... her beautiful hair fell out It was all gone, and she smiled and comforted me not to cry..." Tang Wanru burst into tears suddenly, "Why didn't you tell us, Lin Xiao!"
In the empty corridor, her cry was like a small hand, tightly clenched my heart. Looking at her sad face, I knew that she was really sorry for Gu Li.For so many years, she has always been the purest one in our group.The scar at the corner of her mouth became more ferocious because of her distorted face when she cried bitterly. Looking at her like this, my throat tightened like countless steel needles.My tears rolled out and hit the back of my hand.I hugged Wanru who was sobbing and leaned against her forehead.
"Lin Xiao, do you have a fever?!" Tang Wanru suddenly pushed me away, put the back of her hand on my forehead, and then touched her own forehead, "What did you do?"
"At Gu Li's house the night before yesterday, she and I were both drunk. After drinking, I got caught in the rain on the way home and had a fever. I have been sleeping until today, so I didn't receive a call from Gu Li." I rubbed Tang Wanru's tears, while asking her in a low voice, "Why didn't you come that day? Do you know how sad Gu Li is?"
"I wanted to come. But when my dad found out that I was going to your place, he lost his temper and dropped all the thermos bottles at home. He locked me in the room and said I was going out, so he interrupted me." My legs." Tang Wanru lowered her head, tears falling on her pants, "Lin Xiao, I want to go. I want to eat and drink with you. Only you will not dislike me. I don't even want to go downstairs to buy now. Things, the people around me don't have anything else to say besides asking me 'what's the matter with your face'. I'm like a monster. Lin Xiao, I miss you so much. But I know you must be very busy recently, so I didn't call you either."
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to answer her.I can't tell her that recently we are busy finding out a sum of 7000 million that disappeared out of thin air, so I can only pat on the back of her hand, her chest seems to be stuffed with cotton.
"Lin Xiao, if Gu Li doesn't call Tang Wanru today, how long are you going to keep this matter from us? Are you going to tell us until Gu Li dies?" Nan Xiang stood up and walked to our bench side.
"You don't want to be so fucking dead, who's dead? Gu Li won't die if you die! If you say another dead word, I'll tear up your mouth!" I stood up suddenly, dizzy for a while , It was suddenly dark in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything.But my anger supported me, I didn't sit down, I stood stiffly in the dizzy darkness, I faced the darkness in front of me, fantasized about Nan Xiang's face, and then stared fiercely at my imaginary face, My anger secreted vicious juice in my body, and I wished I could spray it all on Nan Xiang's face.
"Do you think your mouth is so clean now? What position do you have to get angry at me? We grew up together, but you handle such a big matter by yourself, you are awesome, you are capable, But why didn't you rush to the hospital first and accompany Gu Li to comfort her? When she was trembling with fear in the surgical gown, Tang Wanru and I held her hand one by one, where are you?!" Nan Xiang's flushed face appeared from my gradually recovering vision.
"Grow up together? Talking is better than singing, Nan Xiang, don't pretend to be a sister here. If you really miss the past, you promised Gu Li the night before yesterday, why didn't you come? Aren't you just for revenge? Why, let her wait alone in the villa, cook a large table of dishes, buy a case of wine, and finally dump them all into the trash can!" I started to cry when I was halfway through, Tears welled up outside.I thought of Gu Li's contented look again, that kind of cautious and humble joy.My heart seemed to be cut into pieces with scissors: "Nan Xiang, you are not fucking qualified to stand here, why do you hold Gu Li's hand and pretend to comfort her, where are you when she needs your comfort?" You should get out of here!" I bent down and coughed violently, crying while coughing, my mouth was filled with the stench of almond pus and blood.
"Lin Xiao, I want to tell you that I am the most qualified person to stand here. I am not afraid that you grew up with Gu Li. Do you know what blood type she is? You don't know at all. She is Rh negative blood , do you know what this kind of blood is called? Panda blood! There are only one or two out of a thousand people. Do you know us? Do you know me and Gu Li? After so many years since childhood, you know me and Gu Li Is it all extremely rare Rh-negative blood? I can get out, but if Gu Li needs a blood transfusion later, don't you fucking come over and beg me!" Nan Xiang's shoulders trembled, and the tears in her eyes rolled, but did not flow come out.
"Lin Xiao, the doctor told us just now," Tang Wanru supported me, my whole weight was almost hanging on her body, my feet seemed to have no bones, my whole body was weak and I had no strength, "Gu Li's The operation will be advanced suddenly, because the blood bank in Jing'an District does not have much Rh-negative blood, and there will be three cases of Rh pregnant women giving birth next month, so the blood bank must be very tight, so I arranged for her to proceed ahead of time. Because I knew that Nanxiang was with Gu I just called Nan Xiang because of the same rare blood type in the TV series."
I raised my head, feeling a sudden sadness in my heart.Nan Xiang was right, I thought I knew them well, but I didn't even know that they both had rare blood types.
Nan Xiang looked at me, obviously, she didn't intend to let me go, she continued: "And Lin Xiao, let me tell you, the reason why I didn't come the day before yesterday was because my mother had a sudden myocardial infarction in the drug rehabilitation center and was sent to the first aid. I went to the ward. I just came down from the observation room this morning, and the oxygen mask has not been taken off! Gu Zhun and I have been guarding the hospital for 36 hours, and we haven’t closed our eyes yet! If your mother issued three critical illness notices in a row Shan, are you in the mood to drink and eat!"
I didn't speak, the scorching sensation was burning to my temples again, Nan Xiang's voice sounded like a tormenting whistling to my ears: "Lin Xiao, this world doesn't just revolve around you and Gu Li Turns out, we also have our own lives. You always only look at things from your own standpoint. As long as others don’t meet your expectations, you must be dissatisfied. But you have to understand, this is not you watching DVDs at home, anytime If you want to go to the bathroom, just get up and press a pause button, and when you come back, it will still stop at the place you just left. Everything is based on your life. Our life is a movie theater, you can’t press the pause button.” Nan Xiang He stretched out his hand and pointed to my nose, "Why are you crying? Since you were young, what else would you do besides causing trouble and then pretending to be pitiful and crying to beg Gu Li to help you solve the problem?"
My anger had already been extinguished, leaving only the dark red sparks in the ashes, but Nanxiang once again blew a strong wind, and my anger was rekindled: "Am I causing trouble? Our group will go to this day Who caused this situation? Look at the scars on Tang Wanru's face. Whose heart is not fleshy? If you look at it, you won't feel guilty at all, and you can feel at ease?" I can feel my pain My throat was filled with blood and pus. Every time I said a word, it was like swallowing a razor blade, but this severe pain gave me a hysterical pleasure instead.I even grinned a sly grin with pleasure on my face.
"What about you? If you saw me sleeping with Jianxi and Chongguang, what would you think? Lin Xiao, if you were such a jealous and inferior character, you would have cut me off with scissors. My face was scratched! Did I do anything to Gu Li at that time, I just vented my anger, don't I even have the right to be angry?"
I was stuck by what Nan Xiang said. I admit that what she said was not wrong. Although she described me as "jealous and inferior", she was right. If it was me, I would have gone crazy Then he rushed forward and died together with the other party.I thought about it, and refuted her again, but my voice was obviously softer: "Didn't you dump Wei Hai at that time, even if Gu Li and Wei Hai slept together, then what does it matter to you?"
"I dumped Wei Hai? So that wimp didn't tell you guys," Nan Xiang's eyes suddenly flashed a gleam of sadness, like the cold light refracted on the stainless steel surface, "Lin Xiao, if you go to the male A friend's house visited him and bought his favorite supper, but he wrapped a towel around his waist and refused to let you in, and there was a woman inside asking 'who is at the door', would you Dump him?"
"You mean..." I was stunned suddenly. I wanted to say something else, but I found that my vocal cords couldn't make a sound, and my eyes suddenly turned upwards. Appeared in front of my eyes, before I could react, my whole body slipped heavily backwards and fell on the floor tiles.
"Tang Wanru, hurry up and call the doctor and take her for a fever-reducing injection!" I was lying on the ground, and I heard Nan Xiang's anxious voice.
When my sight came back again, I was already lying on the bench in the corridor.My head on someone's lap.
I opened my eyes, and saw Nan Xiang's slender and delicate chin, and her long black shiny hair.A few strands of her hair slipped softly into my collar, and I smelled the familiar fragrance again.
I struggled to sit up.Nan Xiang supported my shoulders with both hands, and her face softened. It can be seen that the grievance and anger in her heart have almost been vented.She sighed: "You don't have to be brave."
I shook my head and asked her, "I just passed out? How long?"
"It's only two or three minutes, you don't have to worry." She answered me.
I raised my head and looked at the light at the door of the operating room. The red "in operation" was still on.I supported my hot forehead and asked Nan Xiang, "Where's Tang Wanru?"
"Call the doctor for you. When the doctor comes, you'll get a fever-reducing injection, and then you'd better hang a bottle of intravenous drip and sleep for a while. I'm here with Ruru. You'll be fine."
I still shake my head.I can't stand Gu Li still in the operating room, but I fell asleep to death.I was very afraid that when I woke up, there would be no such person as Gu Li in this world anymore.When I thought of this, tears fell from my eyes, and I couldn't help shaking.
Nan Xiang took out a thick woolen scarf from her bag and wrapped it around my neck.She didn't speak, just patted my back gently.At that moment, she seemed to have returned to the position where I was cuddling with each other, and she was no longer the vixen who made me gnash my teeth with hatred.
There was a sudden commotion in the corridor.
The door of the operating room slammed open, and the noise of footsteps broke the silence of the corridor.Both Nan Xiang and I stood up, and I suddenly felt unable to breathe. At that moment, I was terrified that the usual scene in TVB would appear: the doctor took off his mask, shook his head at the camera a few times, and then said "We did our best".
However, the doctor who came out of the operating room anxiously took off his mask and shouted at the two of us, "Lin Xiao? Who is Lin Xiao?"
I walked up tremblingly: "I am."
"Now there is a problem with the operation. The cancerous area is bigger than we thought. The previous plan of partial hysterectomy will definitely not work. The whole uterus and ovaries must be removed together. On the patient information, the emergency contact is written on you, please sign quickly Just a word." The doctor pulled out a piece of paper with a swipe and placed it in front of me.
"Removal of the uterus and ovaries together? That means...you will never be able to have children again?" My hands were shaking all the time, and I dared not accept the order.
"Oh, it's about this time, why do you want to have children, girl, this is cancer, not a trivial gynecological disease, it kills people, it's good to survive! Hurry up! Let me tell you, you still have a form to sign. Now the patient’s uterus is continuously congested due to the intensive growth of cancer cells. After part of it is removed, the entire uterus does not retract at all. A large blood vessel, the patient is losing a lot of blood now, you take this critical illness notice first, and then sign another family member’s knowledge letter, so that we can proceed to the next operation.”
My legs softened and I sat down on the chair.My mind is full of Gu Li laying bloody on the operating table with his bowels broken.I covered my face with my hands, and my voice was as ugly as killing a pig: "Don't ask me to sign...don't ask me to sign..."
"Lin Xiao!" Nan Xiang pulled my hand away, she was looking into my eyes, "What time is it, hurry up and sign! Gu Li is losing a lot of blood, and there is not much blood like her in the blood bank." , Even if I'm here, it's useless, I can only pump out 400cc! Don't dawdle you here!"
"Doctor, if I sign for the next operation, what is the probability of the operation being successful?" My voice sounded like a ghost.
"30.00%." There was anger in the doctor's cold voice, "If you procrastinate any longer, it will be 20.00%!"
"I can't... I don't dare to sign. If I sign it and Gu Li dies..." I couldn't hear anything in my mind, I could only hear a voice telling me: Gu Li was going to die , Gu Li is going to die.I slid off the bench and curled up in the corner. "30.00%, isn't that equivalent to playing rock-paper-scissors with God!" I hugged my knees and cried loudly, "Gu Li is dying, Gu Li is dying..." I grabbed my hair like a madman.
"Little girl, this document has to be signed no matter whether the next operation is performed or not! Otherwise, the patient will die on the operating table! Her family members cannot be contacted, so you must sign! I put the document here, you can do whatever you want I've never seen you like this!" The doctor's voice was deafening in the corridor.
"Let me sign." Nan Xiang turned around and faced the doctor, "I will sign. And my blood type is the same as the patient's. After I sign, I will go to draw blood."
"Are you a family member of the patient?" the doctor asked.
"I'm her sister." Nan Xiang said calmly.
"...Then come with me." The doctor nodded after a while with a sullen face.
The footsteps of Nan Xiang and the doctor disappeared in the corridor.
My consciousness gradually dissipated.I feel hot cheeks against the cold tiles.I simply lay down on the ground.Much more comfortable.
It's so quiet around here.where am i
Where is Nanxiang?Where is Tang Wanru?Why is no one talking?
I clenched my fist and grabbed nothing.I vaguely heard someone say, Lin Xiao, Gu Li finally died of your weakness.
I open my eyes.The first person to see it was Tang Wanru.She sat by my hospital bed, her eyes were red.
I sat up and asked her, "Where's Gu Li? How is she?"
Tang Wanru patted the back of my hand: "Don't worry, she hasn't finished the surgery yet, but she's not in good condition...the blood keeps flowing and can't be stopped at all. Nanxiang has gone to draw blood for the second time, and she has already exceeded the maximum amount of donated blood "…" she said, choking with sobs.
I turned over and pulled out the drip needle on the back of my hand.I wore slippers and trotted all the way to the operating room.
In the corridor, Nan Xiang sat wearily on the bench.Both of her arms were bent and covered with gauze.She nodded at me, her lips pale, her hair looking lifeless under the cold fluorescent light.She barely slept for two days straight, and now she has drawn blood twice in a row.I looked at her, not knowing what to say.
I suddenly felt that what she said was right, and the person least qualified to be here was me.
I can never be of any help.
I can only continue to dedicate my sensational tears.But it's not expensive, it's the cheapest.
Nan Xiang and I leaned against each other, but I still had a splitting headache and felt weak all over.She also looked extremely weak, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.Tang Wanru curled up on the bench opposite.She was trying her best to suppress her fear.Her hands were trembling slightly.I can see it.
At [-]:[-] in the morning, the scarlet light at the door of the operating room finally went out.
The doctor came out, took off his mask, and looked softly at the faces of the three of us.
He said: "The operation was successful, and all the cancerous cells should have been removed. After a few hours, it should be out of danger."
Tang Wanru suddenly yelled, then hugged me violently and wept bitterly.She lay on my shoulder, tears streaming down my neck.
I looked at Nan Xiang, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she was slumped on the bench.After a while she buried her face in her knees, shaking violently all over, and began to cry.
Seven hours later.The doctor pushed Gu Li out of the intensive care room.
Thirteen hours later, Gu Li entered the ordinary monitoring room.We were able to come in for a visitation.
We changed into disinfectant suits and carefully surrounded Gu Li's hospital bed.Her anesthesia had just passed, coupled with severe blood loss, she was not conscious.Her mouth was not closed because of the anesthesia, and saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth.Her face was swollen like a sauce-red steamed bun, and there was only a slit left in her eye, and half of the eyeball could be seen inside.Her forehead was round and bright, and her thinning hair hung limply on her face.My eye sockets turned red quickly.
Tang Wanru and Nan Xiang were both crying silently.
"You can talk to her. Although she can't move now, her anesthesia has passed and she can hear you talking." The nurse next to her reminded her in a low voice.
"Gu Li, I'm Lin Xiao. I'm..." After I finished the opening remarks, I choked up and didn't know what to say next.
"Gu Li, I'm Tang Wanru, are you in pain?"
"Gu Li, I'm Nan Xiang. It's all over, it's okay." Nan Xiang's tears dripped on the snow-white bed sheet.
Gu Li's mouth moved.Her eyes still didn't open, but her eyeballs barely moved twice.She was drooling, and a few vague syllables uttered from her unclosed lips. I only heard "the door..." "No
Bite..." "Zhou..." several syllables.
Tang Wanru suddenly raised her hand, covered her mouth and began to cry. She squatted down suddenly, lying on Gu Li's hospital bed, crying while saying, "We won't leave, we won't leave!"
I suddenly realized that Gu Li was telling us, don't leave.
Her eyeballs rolled into swollen eyelids, and I knew she couldn't see us.In the chaotic consciousness left by the anesthetic, she was still worried about what she feared most: "You guys, don't go."
I lowered my head and found that Gu Li's ring finger had, at some point, firmly hooked my hand hanging beside her bed.
end
When Gu Li woke up from a deep sleep, she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was me, Nan Xiang, and Tang Wanru standing side by side in front of her hospital bed.After staring at us for a full minute, she spoke and said the first sentence to us, "I want to drink water."
I pass the cup over and slip the straw into her chapped lips.She sucked hard, and a tear rolled down her eye.But the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
I will never forget that smile.It was like the biggest rainbow hanging in the sky after the heavy rain.
Of course, the three of us were not the only ones standing in front of the hospital bed.
And Gu Zhun and Gu Yuan.
While Gu Li was sleeping, I told all of them the ins and outs of what happened to us.As Gu Yuan listened, his eyes turned red.He kept pinching his fists, and the knuckles creaked.
To be honest, I can't think of a time when I saw him cry, as if this was the first time.
I used to not believe in those happy endings. The ancients always said that life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten.It can be seen that tragedy is the eternal theme of this world.I have always felt that the happy family endings in those movies and TV shows, whether lovers get married, or evil prevails, bad people lose their reputations and good people rule the world, these all seem too fake.However, our group of stumbling people seems to have gradually ushered in a happy ending that belongs to us.I looked at Gu Li whose complexion was gradually turning rosy, feeling a little dazed.
I thought of what I had said to her in the cemetery, and I said that if all is well, all is well, the worst must be over.
Perhaps we have indeed finished a large glass of bitter herbs, and next, it should be a glass of sweet wine.
Gu Li's body recovered day by day.Doctors say he is recovering well.After that, as long as you persist in the treatment, you should have a very good recovery effect.While Gu Li was hospitalized, Neil brought a very important news.This news instantly turned Gu Li into a billionaire.She laughed so hard from ear to ear in the hospital that she almost swallowed the soup spoon.
It turned out that Neil didn't come to the villa to have the last meal with us that day because he suddenly received a call from the forest guard.On the phone, the forest guard said that because of a typhoon landed, the entire roof of the small wooden house that Gu Yansheng left behind was overturned, and the house was in a mess, leaving only a standing wooden wall.The ranger asked Neil what to do with it and whether it needed to be demolished because the whole house was no longer usable.
Neil had a vague premonition when he heard the rising wooden wall.So he ran to Chongming Island overnight.result--
"Gu Li, guess what I found?" Neil cocked his mouth meanly, his golden eyebrows and eyelashes glistened in the sunlight.
"Hurry up. The doctor said, I can't use my brain too much now, or I might go into shock at any time. Don't force me to go to court and sue you for murder." Gu Li rolled his eyes.I was beside me and couldn't help laughing.She finally regained the look of venom gleaming on her fangs, and she looked very kind.
"Those wooden walls are standing too firmly. The huge trees around them are swaying here and there, and many of them are even broken by the wind. But the four wooden walls are fine, which is too inconsistent with physics. So, I picked up The hammer chiseled the wooden wall. Guess what, all the walls that look like wooden boards are double-layered, and between the wooden boards are brick walls made of golden bricks. You can't blow this iron wall."
"Damn it, didn't you say that there is a golden house in the book? How did it become the golden house in the forest?" Tang Wanru gasped as she was holding a bowl of porridge to cool Gu Li. , I almost sucked the porridge into my lungs at this moment.
"But why did Gu Yansheng change the money into a pile of gold and put it in the house? It's too unsafe." Gu Li frowned, obviously she was also frightened by the result.
"Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Who would have thought that there are so many thick gold bricks in such a dilapidated house? Even those of us who have been there have not thought of it. Outsiders Not to mention. And, I have to say, your dad is a criminal genius." Neil cleared his throat and continued, "You know he was operating this gold trade, it happened to be 2007, when gold fell At the lowest price of $[-] an ounce, if your father can buy a lot at this price, there must be someone inside who leaked the information to him. Therefore, he dare not use his personal identity to conduct transactions, which will inevitably lead to investigation and suspicion. Insider operations. However, if the company's money is used for gold transactions blatantly, on the one hand, other shareholders cannot be persuaded not to speak out; That's why Gu Yansheng came up with such a gimmick. First, use the money to pass through intricate financial derivatives to make it look like it evaporated out of thin air. Then use the money to buy a large amount of gold, and wait until the money is sold. , and then fill the hole with the previously embezzled principal. So, the huge profits can be enjoyed by themselves, and there is no worry of being investigated at all.”
"Then, speaking of it this way, "ME" also operates in the same way?" Gu Li nodded while thinking.
"It should be. And it is possible that Gong Xun also disclosed this news to your father. As for who has the information and who designed the plan, we will never know." Neil sighed, his expression seemed to be It's a pity.
"Why?" Gu Li asked.
"Because while you were in a coma, Gong Xun suddenly suffered a stroke. All his family members flew to Italy. Yesterday, their family declared Gong Xun brain-dead. Now they are in the legal process of enforcing the inheritance .”
I finally understood why Sogo suddenly disappeared.
"Gu Li, do you know how much money you have now?" Neil blinked suddenly.
"How much?" Gu Li raised his eyebrows.
"You promise to give me ten percent, and I'll tell you." Neil smiled mysteriously.
"I'll give you 15.00%. Tell me." Gu Li seemed to be a different person after passing the life-and-death test a few days ago.If it was before, she must have bargained and fought with Neil for twenty rounds without letting go.
"The current price of gold is 2000 US dollars an ounce, which is [-] times the previous purchase price of Gu Yansheng. You now have close to [-] million in cash. Cash, sister!!" Neil's eyes widened, and he seemed also Shocked by the number in his mouth, "Damn it, I suddenly got [-] million!"
"Don't worry, I haven't said how to pay." Gu Li smiled and patted Neil on the head, "Brother, I will pay in installments, and the payment will be completed in 60 years."
Neil: "..."
After Gu Li finished speaking, he looked up at Nan Xiang who was opening a can of fruit, and said to her, "I still have to pay back 7000 million to the company. The stock in Gu Zhun's hand has greatly appreciated in value. Hurry up, Hurry up and get married."
Nan Xiang turned his head and smiled shyly at Gu Li.
"Gu Yiyuan," Gu Li suddenly thought of something, "That's a good name, you can call me that in the future, it sounds like a shameless American politician."
I looked up, the sunshine outside the window was so nice.Numerous golden sycamore leaves are blown by the autumn wind, like swarms of butterflies.
There are light dust floating in the light beam, and I look at them in a daze.For the entire vast universe, perhaps our world is just one small speck of dust.Our group of people tossed and tossed, tears and blood flowed, and finally stepped on the ground firmly.
On the day Gu Li was discharged from the hospital, Tang Wanru happened to move.
Yes, Tang Wanru moved again.
The scene of her last move seemed to be as vivid as yesterday.However, at this moment, she couldn't help tossing again.Because she found a job as a health care trainer in a large foreign-funded enterprise in Jing'an, with a good salary and easy work.So, she found an apartment in Jing'an braggingly, and threw herself into it.
I helped Ruru pack up in the morning, and I will pick up Gu Li in the afternoon.When I was going out, I had a sudden whim, and I said, "Either call everyone together and come to your place to help you hold a house warming party, even if it means completing the unfinished party in our Jing'an villa last time."
Tang Wanru gasped: "Lin Xiao, it's easy for you to say, do you know how much food I want to buy with so many people? You patted your ass to pick up Gu Li, what about me? I can't figure it out. I don't Dry!"
"It's not until noon now, and you have an afternoon to prepare. It will definitely be enough by dinner time. I'll ask them to come to you first in the afternoon to help you. I'll be responsible for sending Gu Li over."
"No, no, no." Tang Wanru shook her head like a rattle.
Then, I stubbornly soaked Tang Wanru for half an hour, and finally, she agreed.The price was that I helped her get a signed photo of Gong Ming in swimming briefs.I agreed without hesitation, but I was thinking in my heart that this is the same as asking Voldemort to twist the Yangko, it is an impossible task.
I called Neil along the way, to Gu Yuan, to Gu Zhun, and told them where the afternoon meeting was.
When I arrived at the hospital, Gu Li and Nan Xiang were already waiting for me at the entrance of the hospital.
Gu Li returned to her chipmunk appearance again, with compass-like high heels on her feet, wrapped in a tight black dress, the sunglasses on her face were too big, it looked like she just stole the welder's protective glasses Come to the top of the head.
While supporting her back, she said to me in a strange voice: "Lin Xiao, do you have any humanity? Have you ever seen a patient who was discharged later than the patient? Today is your luck." , I am too lazy to scold you, the doctor told me that my wound has not fully healed, and if I speak or breathe a little harder, there may be a big bleeding..."
I hurriedly stuffed her and Nan Xiang into the taxi.
As soon as the car reached Weihai Road, my phone rang.I took out my phone, and Gong Ming's name flashed on my screen.
I picked it up and listened for a while, then put the phone down and told the driver to pull over on the side of the road.
I turned my head to look at Gu Li's confused face, and said, "You and Nan Xiang go first. I have to go back to the company. Gong Ming is back."
Gu Li frowned: "I was originally weak, and I didn't want to go crazy at Tang Wanru's house. It was you who insisted on going, but it turned out to be fine, but you slipped away."
I shook my head, opened the car door, and said, "I'm not slipping away. I'm just going for a while, and I'll be here in a while. I promise Gu Yiyuan."
There is no one in "ME" on weekends except for the guards and security guards.I took out the access control card and opened the door of the company.
When Gong Ming went to Italy for half a month, I almost asked for leave to accompany Gu Li.It's only half a month since I didn't come, but it feels like a long time.I put the bag on the seat in my own cubicle, then turned around and went to the tea room, took out the coffee that Gong Ming likes to drink, and made a full pot.
I pushed open the door to the room, and he was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the skyline in a cloud of dust.That is the sand and sand raised by countless pile drivers and crane arms. This city is changing its appearance every minute and will never stop.
Gong Ming heard the sound of the door opening and turned his head.He was wearing a thin camel-colored cashmere sweater with a low neckline, revealing the muscles of his chest.His sleeves were gently rolled up to the elbows, and on the clear muscle lines of his forearms, the soft hairs shone like diamonds in the sun.He always seemed so charming - an enigma.
"You probably know it all, right?" He looked at me and said such a sentence suddenly.His voice still carries that bewildering magnetism, which is cold yet frenzied.
I nodded and shook my head again.I put coffee on his desk.
"Actually, I just want to talk to you about Sogo. As for other things, I don't care, and it's not important." He turned his gaze out of the window again, and he left me with an extremely handsome side face, with bushy eyebrows His brow arches and eye sockets cast black shadows.There is a blue mustache around his chin.He looks more mature than before.
I stood with my head down and didn't speak.
"The level of Chongguang's involvement in this plan is very, very low. He doesn't even know the relationship between my father Gong Xun and Gu Li's father Gu Yansheng. Therefore, he doesn't know that Gu Li is involved in this matter. Dad is asking him to pretend When sacrificing his life and living with a brand new life, he just told him that the company is facing a huge problem, and there must be someone to take the blame. And his cancer condition just happened to be the most logical death that would not arouse suspicion. Lin Xiao , maybe you don't know what kind of family we grew up in, I can only say that we have always obeyed Gong Xun's request and could not resist." Gong Ming turned his head and looked at me. Feel the warmth in his eyes, "So Chong Guang is really simple, his hands are cleaner than anyone else. So, you don't have to resent him because of this matter. He is one flight later than me , I will return to Shanghai tomorrow. He will definitely look for you immediately. I tell you this because I hope you can communicate with him calmly, listen to his explanation, and don't torture him. I can see that he really likes you. "
I nodded wildly.blushing.
"I'm just such a younger brother, you have to treat him well." Gong Ming suddenly showed his teeth to me and smiled, his smile was like the setting sun behind him, with a beauty that made people want to cry, "It's okay , you go to spend the weekend. I will stay here by myself for a while, and then I will go home."
I nodded and turned to leave.I took two steps, thought of something, turned around and looked at Gong Ming: "Mr. Gong, we have a small party, and it's all people you know, or...you can come and join us?"
"Hehe, no need. I'm not used to places with too many people. I'm afraid of making trouble." Gong Ming thought for a while, and then said, "But I can ask the driver to drive you. I just happen to be going home too."
Gong Ming and I stood by the side of the road and waited for the driver to bring the car up from the basement.
At this moment, my phone rang, and when I answered it, Tang Wanru's voice sounded like he was trying to cheat: "Lin Xiao, let me tell you, there is a mysterious guest at my house. Guess who it is?"
I was too lazy to guess: "I'm going to hang up."
"Don't, don't, don't," Tang Wanru screamed over there, "Lin Xiao, let me tell you, it's Chongguang! But right now, he's already asleep on my bed. He said he changed the contract the first time. I can’t stand the jet lag right now, so go and take a nap first, and call him when you come back. He said he kept calling you just now, but no one answered your phone. So he called Gu Li , I heard that we are here, he didn't even put his luggage, he came directly... Lin Xiao, let me tell you, this is the first time I saw someone who sat on a plane for more than ten hours, unkempt and sloppy, But he is still so handsome, his sleeping appearance is not to mention how charming, his trembling eyelashes..."
I had to hang up the phone.I couldn't calmly listen to Tang Wanru talking about my boyfriend in such an obscene tone.What's more, Sogo is still lying on her bed at the moment.I really doubt that she might not change the sheets for a month.
When I got in the car, I opened the text message Tang Wanru had sent me, and read the address to the driver: "Master, please take me to No. 707, Lane 1, Jiaozhou Road, near Yuyao Road. It's a teacher's apartment. .Please excuse me, master."
To be honest, I rarely sit with Gong Ming in the back seat of his car.Although I used to sleep and even eat biscuits wrapped in a blanket in his spacious back seat countless times when Gong Ming was not around.However, it was very rare to actually sit side by side with him in such silence.The car is going very fast, but it feels as if it is standing still, with no bumps at all.The glass windows were closed tightly, and the traffic outside the window was completely isolated behind the silence.In the narrow air, there is the smell of Gong Ming's body, a bitter smell similar to the high tide of sea water.
My cell phone suddenly rang embarrassingly in such silence, I hurriedly answered it, Neil yelled on the phone: "Lin Xiao, when are you coming, we are all here, just waiting for you Hey! Gu Li said that her doctor told her that she should not wait for someone for more than 10 minutes after the operation, otherwise a uterus will easily grow in the abdominal cavity... Hahahaha, by the way, Lin Xiao, your man is off now The clothes are sleeping on Tang Wanru's bed, if you don't come again...or so, anyway, sooner or later Tang Wan will lay hands on you, why don't you lend me a loan first...Ahh..."
After his laughter rang strangely for a few times, it seemed to be floating away, and then there were a few exclamations, and then the sound of plates breaking, and there was a lot of noise in the receiver. I could hear Tang Wanru's shocking decibels, obviously , Neil was beaten by Tang Wanru.I was about to speak when the phone was disconnected.When I called, there was no signal.
I turned my head, embarrassed Gong Ming and shrugged apologetically.
Gong Ming smiled lightly, not paying attention at all.Holding the remote control in his hand, he tuned the car radio to a random channel.A magnetic voice floated out from the speaker: "Good afternoon, listeners, today is November 2010, 11. Welcome to "Today in History". On this day in 15, that is, November 1988, the Soviet Union First launch of a large practical space shuttle 'Buran' into space..."
The radio waves echoed in the carriage, and the sun shone in warmly through the glass.
I suddenly had a feeling of happiness when I woke up on a Sunday morning when I was a child, smelling the smell of food and listening to the sound of the radio broadcast.
"Just turn the intersection ahead." The driver told me politely.
I raised my head, and on the horizon, a round of red sun reflected the sky into a brilliant cloud.Shanghai has a gray sky all year round, and it is rare to see such a beautiful fire cloud.
I turned my head to look at Gong Ming, his eyebrows and eyes were still shrouded in a mysterious shadow in the gorgeous clouds.His eyes are lowered, looking like an indifferent angel in oil painting.I saw an imperceptible fine line in the corner of his eye.
Over the years, he has also aged.
I suddenly felt that he was lonelier than anyone else.
The car turned the intersection and stopped.Gong Ming and I raised our heads and saw that the front was completely blocked.Many cars crowded together and kept honking their horns.The brilliant clouds in the distance became more intense, and the psychedelic light and shadow illuminated the whole street red, as if God had knocked over a huge bucket of red dye on the street.
Gong Ming and I opened the door and got out of the car, looking forward.
After watching for 2 minutes, I suddenly yelled hysterically and ran forward.
Gong Ming firmly held my hand, pinching my wrist with a black bruise.
I slumped on the ground with a long bloody gash on my knee.
When I returned to Shanghai again, exactly one year had passed.
This time, I drove past the intersection by myself.The brilliant clouds have disappeared.The pitch-black building is still wrapped in green scaffolding. It stands alone in the twilight of Shanghai, looking like a huge monument.
There are some white daisies left by passers-by on the side of the road, and the fine petals are blown by the autumn wind and spread all over the ground.
I stopped at the original intersection and lay on the steering wheel.The clear stabbing pain that Gong Ming left me at that time still remains on my wrist.
Later, I often dreamed the same scene.
In the dream, we were still in the dormitory of the university.Outside the window was the bright morning sun, and the entire dormitory was shrouded in a soft and pure white color.Gu Li was tossing in front of the water dispenser the weird drink she had collected just now. She made a pot of crooked blue stuff and was pouring it into four cups with bright eyes at the moment, ready to serve it to us.
Tang Wanru, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa profusely sweating, twisting the cap of a bottle of sports drink vigorously.
And Nan Xiang and I were leaning head to head, whispering on the sofa in pajamas, giggling and laughing non-stop for some reason, we are still 20 years old, with plump and shiny apple muscles, like girl.
Both of us have black and shiny hair, long and loose, intertwined and inseparable.
Nov. 2011, 11

【Goodbye】
(End of this chapter)
Unknowingly, autumn is already so deep.The moisture in the air has solidified into tiny ice crystals invisible to the naked eye in the rapidly dropping temperature after nightfall. Each one is like a small thumbtack stuck in the air, waiting to penetrate into a person's hair and into the human body at any time. The pupils of the eyes penetrate into the hearts of people who are riddled with holes.
There are few pedestrians on the empty streets.They were all hiding in rooms with humming air conditioners, and in taxis with closed windows. People stared blankly at the even more empty world outside. They all frowned slightly, with a kind of tension in their eyes An indescribable loss.There was a kind of indifferent cruelty in this piece of silence.Just like those sculptures exhibited in museums, no matter how noble they are, it is difficult to conceal their decay and decline.
The clear smell of rotting fallen leaves is dissolved in the air, and the bare tree trunks reveal a kind of indifferent decadence.The leaden sky is as hard and transparent as glass. When the plane flies over it, it is like a coin passing through a mirror, and it can make a clanging sound.
I was so tormented by this sound that I had a splitting headache.Wrapped in a thick cotton coat, I leaned my head on the glass of the taxi. My lungs were still burning hot, like a pile of extinguished coals still flickering unwillingly. I coughed a few times, as if I had spit out a few Light the scorching sparks.
Along the way, I kept reading the text messages she sent me repeatedly: "Lin Xiao, my operation is ahead of schedule. I'm in the hospital now. After thinking about it, I still hope you can accompany me. I'm scared alone, come quickly .”
Based on my understanding of Gu Li, she must have planned to complete the operation silently by herself.However, she clearly overestimated her own capacity, and I understand the fear of putting on a surgical gown and sitting in the preparation room, waiting to be put on the hospital bed and wheeled into the operating room.When I was a sophomore in college, I just had an appendectomy, and the moment I put on the surgical gown, I couldn't help crying.At that time, Gu Li was by my side, she didn't grin at me like usual and spray venom to laugh at me, instead, she gently held my hand and comforted me repeatedly: "It's okay, I'm here."
However, I was in my sleep and didn't receive her text message.I watched the several missed calls from Gu Li a few minutes after the text message was sent, and my tears couldn't stop pattering on the phone screen.
Is she still sitting alone in the corridor of the hospital at this moment?Has she changed into the surgical gown yet?
Is there anyone around her?is she afraidDid someone pat her on the head and tell her "it's okay, I'm here"?
As I thought about it, her thinning forehead came back to me, and she looked like a spellbound swan suddenly transformed into an ugly duckling with sparse feathers.
My tonsils were so swollen they were touching my wisdom teeth and at any moment I thought I might bite them out.I moved my red, swollen and painful throat, and patted the back partition of the driver master: "Master, hurry up, hurry up."
The driver glanced at me in the rear-view mirror. I must have frightened him with tears and snot. The driver immediately said in a panic, "Little girl, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Don't worry, I'll be there soon." La! Hold on!"
I walked through the familiar gate, walked past the delicate and huge angel sculpture, crossed the path by the lake, and stumbled towards the direction of the hospital operating room.I feel like this place is like a spelled labyrinth, with an invisible monster gaping in the fog at the end, and it keeps eating our lives.
Gu Li's father, Chong Guang, Gong Ming, and I have been here three times because of them.
And now, it was Gu Li's turn.
I turned the corner and saw Tang Wanru and Nan Xiang sitting on the benches in the corridor.
In the empty corridor, the two of them sat on each side.Pale fluorescent lights overhead made the hallway cold and gloomy.They all lowered their heads at first, but at the sound of my footsteps, they straightened up and turned to look at me.
"Why are you here?" I looked at Nanxiang, then at Tang Wanru.The pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital cleared up my chaotic brain a lot, and the scorching heat in my lungs seemed to subside a little.
"Because you're not here." Nan Xiang looked at me with a cold light in her beautiful eyes.Her charming and charming eyes were obviously red and swollen at the moment.I have a sore throat and talking is like swallowing a needle. I don't want to find out why Nan Xiang said these inexplicable words to me. I'm not in the mood to guess riddles with her at the moment, let alone play games with her.I didn't bother to answer her at all.
"Because Gu Li couldn't find you, she called me. To be honest, I couldn't believe it at first, so I called Nan Xiang and asked her to come with me. You know, I'm rather stupid, if anything happens, with Nan Xiang here, at least she can help with an idea." Tang Wanru came over, she saw how weak I was, supported me, and sat down on the bench.
I sat down next to each other and wrapped my coat tighter.Why do I feel so cold when the heater is turned on in the corridor of the hospital?I looked at Nan Xiang opposite. She was wearing a close-fitting dark blue cashmere dress. The thin material wrapped her slender figure in a delicate and convex shape, making her very attractive.She doesn't look cold at all.
"Where's Gu Li?" I didn't want to look at her anymore, I felt disgusted seeing her, so I turned to look at Tang Wanru and asked.
"Already in the operating room. When Nan Xiang and I came over, she was about to enter the operating room. She was sitting on a trundle bed and was about to put on her surgical hat... I saw her hair... her beautiful hair fell out It was all gone, and she smiled and comforted me not to cry..." Tang Wanru burst into tears suddenly, "Why didn't you tell us, Lin Xiao!"
In the empty corridor, her cry was like a small hand, tightly clenched my heart. Looking at her sad face, I knew that she was really sorry for Gu Li.For so many years, she has always been the purest one in our group.The scar at the corner of her mouth became more ferocious because of her distorted face when she cried bitterly. Looking at her like this, my throat tightened like countless steel needles.My tears rolled out and hit the back of my hand.I hugged Wanru who was sobbing and leaned against her forehead.
"Lin Xiao, do you have a fever?!" Tang Wanru suddenly pushed me away, put the back of her hand on my forehead, and then touched her own forehead, "What did you do?"
"At Gu Li's house the night before yesterday, she and I were both drunk. After drinking, I got caught in the rain on the way home and had a fever. I have been sleeping until today, so I didn't receive a call from Gu Li." I rubbed Tang Wanru's tears, while asking her in a low voice, "Why didn't you come that day? Do you know how sad Gu Li is?"
"I wanted to come. But when my dad found out that I was going to your place, he lost his temper and dropped all the thermos bottles at home. He locked me in the room and said I was going out, so he interrupted me." My legs." Tang Wanru lowered her head, tears falling on her pants, "Lin Xiao, I want to go. I want to eat and drink with you. Only you will not dislike me. I don't even want to go downstairs to buy now. Things, the people around me don't have anything else to say besides asking me 'what's the matter with your face'. I'm like a monster. Lin Xiao, I miss you so much. But I know you must be very busy recently, so I didn't call you either."
I opened my mouth, not knowing how to answer her.I can't tell her that recently we are busy finding out a sum of 7000 million that disappeared out of thin air, so I can only pat on the back of her hand, her chest seems to be stuffed with cotton.
"Lin Xiao, if Gu Li doesn't call Tang Wanru today, how long are you going to keep this matter from us? Are you going to tell us until Gu Li dies?" Nan Xiang stood up and walked to our bench side.
"You don't want to be so fucking dead, who's dead? Gu Li won't die if you die! If you say another dead word, I'll tear up your mouth!" I stood up suddenly, dizzy for a while , It was suddenly dark in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything.But my anger supported me, I didn't sit down, I stood stiffly in the dizzy darkness, I faced the darkness in front of me, fantasized about Nan Xiang's face, and then stared fiercely at my imaginary face, My anger secreted vicious juice in my body, and I wished I could spray it all on Nan Xiang's face.
"Do you think your mouth is so clean now? What position do you have to get angry at me? We grew up together, but you handle such a big matter by yourself, you are awesome, you are capable, But why didn't you rush to the hospital first and accompany Gu Li to comfort her? When she was trembling with fear in the surgical gown, Tang Wanru and I held her hand one by one, where are you?!" Nan Xiang's flushed face appeared from my gradually recovering vision.
"Grow up together? Talking is better than singing, Nan Xiang, don't pretend to be a sister here. If you really miss the past, you promised Gu Li the night before yesterday, why didn't you come? Aren't you just for revenge? Why, let her wait alone in the villa, cook a large table of dishes, buy a case of wine, and finally dump them all into the trash can!" I started to cry when I was halfway through, Tears welled up outside.I thought of Gu Li's contented look again, that kind of cautious and humble joy.My heart seemed to be cut into pieces with scissors: "Nan Xiang, you are not fucking qualified to stand here, why do you hold Gu Li's hand and pretend to comfort her, where are you when she needs your comfort?" You should get out of here!" I bent down and coughed violently, crying while coughing, my mouth was filled with the stench of almond pus and blood.
"Lin Xiao, I want to tell you that I am the most qualified person to stand here. I am not afraid that you grew up with Gu Li. Do you know what blood type she is? You don't know at all. She is Rh negative blood , do you know what this kind of blood is called? Panda blood! There are only one or two out of a thousand people. Do you know us? Do you know me and Gu Li? After so many years since childhood, you know me and Gu Li Is it all extremely rare Rh-negative blood? I can get out, but if Gu Li needs a blood transfusion later, don't you fucking come over and beg me!" Nan Xiang's shoulders trembled, and the tears in her eyes rolled, but did not flow come out.
"Lin Xiao, the doctor told us just now," Tang Wanru supported me, my whole weight was almost hanging on her body, my feet seemed to have no bones, my whole body was weak and I had no strength, "Gu Li's The operation will be advanced suddenly, because the blood bank in Jing'an District does not have much Rh-negative blood, and there will be three cases of Rh pregnant women giving birth next month, so the blood bank must be very tight, so I arranged for her to proceed ahead of time. Because I knew that Nanxiang was with Gu I just called Nan Xiang because of the same rare blood type in the TV series."
I raised my head, feeling a sudden sadness in my heart.Nan Xiang was right, I thought I knew them well, but I didn't even know that they both had rare blood types.
Nan Xiang looked at me, obviously, she didn't intend to let me go, she continued: "And Lin Xiao, let me tell you, the reason why I didn't come the day before yesterday was because my mother had a sudden myocardial infarction in the drug rehabilitation center and was sent to the first aid. I went to the ward. I just came down from the observation room this morning, and the oxygen mask has not been taken off! Gu Zhun and I have been guarding the hospital for 36 hours, and we haven’t closed our eyes yet! If your mother issued three critical illness notices in a row Shan, are you in the mood to drink and eat!"
I didn't speak, the scorching sensation was burning to my temples again, Nan Xiang's voice sounded like a tormenting whistling to my ears: "Lin Xiao, this world doesn't just revolve around you and Gu Li Turns out, we also have our own lives. You always only look at things from your own standpoint. As long as others don’t meet your expectations, you must be dissatisfied. But you have to understand, this is not you watching DVDs at home, anytime If you want to go to the bathroom, just get up and press a pause button, and when you come back, it will still stop at the place you just left. Everything is based on your life. Our life is a movie theater, you can’t press the pause button.” Nan Xiang He stretched out his hand and pointed to my nose, "Why are you crying? Since you were young, what else would you do besides causing trouble and then pretending to be pitiful and crying to beg Gu Li to help you solve the problem?"
My anger had already been extinguished, leaving only the dark red sparks in the ashes, but Nanxiang once again blew a strong wind, and my anger was rekindled: "Am I causing trouble? Our group will go to this day Who caused this situation? Look at the scars on Tang Wanru's face. Whose heart is not fleshy? If you look at it, you won't feel guilty at all, and you can feel at ease?" I can feel my pain My throat was filled with blood and pus. Every time I said a word, it was like swallowing a razor blade, but this severe pain gave me a hysterical pleasure instead.I even grinned a sly grin with pleasure on my face.
"What about you? If you saw me sleeping with Jianxi and Chongguang, what would you think? Lin Xiao, if you were such a jealous and inferior character, you would have cut me off with scissors. My face was scratched! Did I do anything to Gu Li at that time, I just vented my anger, don't I even have the right to be angry?"
I was stuck by what Nan Xiang said. I admit that what she said was not wrong. Although she described me as "jealous and inferior", she was right. If it was me, I would have gone crazy Then he rushed forward and died together with the other party.I thought about it, and refuted her again, but my voice was obviously softer: "Didn't you dump Wei Hai at that time, even if Gu Li and Wei Hai slept together, then what does it matter to you?"
"I dumped Wei Hai? So that wimp didn't tell you guys," Nan Xiang's eyes suddenly flashed a gleam of sadness, like the cold light refracted on the stainless steel surface, "Lin Xiao, if you go to the male A friend's house visited him and bought his favorite supper, but he wrapped a towel around his waist and refused to let you in, and there was a woman inside asking 'who is at the door', would you Dump him?"
"You mean..." I was stunned suddenly. I wanted to say something else, but I found that my vocal cords couldn't make a sound, and my eyes suddenly turned upwards. Appeared in front of my eyes, before I could react, my whole body slipped heavily backwards and fell on the floor tiles.
"Tang Wanru, hurry up and call the doctor and take her for a fever-reducing injection!" I was lying on the ground, and I heard Nan Xiang's anxious voice.
When my sight came back again, I was already lying on the bench in the corridor.My head on someone's lap.
I opened my eyes, and saw Nan Xiang's slender and delicate chin, and her long black shiny hair.A few strands of her hair slipped softly into my collar, and I smelled the familiar fragrance again.
I struggled to sit up.Nan Xiang supported my shoulders with both hands, and her face softened. It can be seen that the grievance and anger in her heart have almost been vented.She sighed: "You don't have to be brave."
I shook my head and asked her, "I just passed out? How long?"
"It's only two or three minutes, you don't have to worry." She answered me.
I raised my head and looked at the light at the door of the operating room. The red "in operation" was still on.I supported my hot forehead and asked Nan Xiang, "Where's Tang Wanru?"
"Call the doctor for you. When the doctor comes, you'll get a fever-reducing injection, and then you'd better hang a bottle of intravenous drip and sleep for a while. I'm here with Ruru. You'll be fine."
I still shake my head.I can't stand Gu Li still in the operating room, but I fell asleep to death.I was very afraid that when I woke up, there would be no such person as Gu Li in this world anymore.When I thought of this, tears fell from my eyes, and I couldn't help shaking.
Nan Xiang took out a thick woolen scarf from her bag and wrapped it around my neck.She didn't speak, just patted my back gently.At that moment, she seemed to have returned to the position where I was cuddling with each other, and she was no longer the vixen who made me gnash my teeth with hatred.
There was a sudden commotion in the corridor.
The door of the operating room slammed open, and the noise of footsteps broke the silence of the corridor.Both Nan Xiang and I stood up, and I suddenly felt unable to breathe. At that moment, I was terrified that the usual scene in TVB would appear: the doctor took off his mask, shook his head at the camera a few times, and then said "We did our best".
However, the doctor who came out of the operating room anxiously took off his mask and shouted at the two of us, "Lin Xiao? Who is Lin Xiao?"
I walked up tremblingly: "I am."
"Now there is a problem with the operation. The cancerous area is bigger than we thought. The previous plan of partial hysterectomy will definitely not work. The whole uterus and ovaries must be removed together. On the patient information, the emergency contact is written on you, please sign quickly Just a word." The doctor pulled out a piece of paper with a swipe and placed it in front of me.
"Removal of the uterus and ovaries together? That means...you will never be able to have children again?" My hands were shaking all the time, and I dared not accept the order.
"Oh, it's about this time, why do you want to have children, girl, this is cancer, not a trivial gynecological disease, it kills people, it's good to survive! Hurry up! Let me tell you, you still have a form to sign. Now the patient’s uterus is continuously congested due to the intensive growth of cancer cells. After part of it is removed, the entire uterus does not retract at all. A large blood vessel, the patient is losing a lot of blood now, you take this critical illness notice first, and then sign another family member’s knowledge letter, so that we can proceed to the next operation.”
My legs softened and I sat down on the chair.My mind is full of Gu Li laying bloody on the operating table with his bowels broken.I covered my face with my hands, and my voice was as ugly as killing a pig: "Don't ask me to sign...don't ask me to sign..."
"Lin Xiao!" Nan Xiang pulled my hand away, she was looking into my eyes, "What time is it, hurry up and sign! Gu Li is losing a lot of blood, and there is not much blood like her in the blood bank." , Even if I'm here, it's useless, I can only pump out 400cc! Don't dawdle you here!"
"Doctor, if I sign for the next operation, what is the probability of the operation being successful?" My voice sounded like a ghost.
"30.00%." There was anger in the doctor's cold voice, "If you procrastinate any longer, it will be 20.00%!"
"I can't... I don't dare to sign. If I sign it and Gu Li dies..." I couldn't hear anything in my mind, I could only hear a voice telling me: Gu Li was going to die , Gu Li is going to die.I slid off the bench and curled up in the corner. "30.00%, isn't that equivalent to playing rock-paper-scissors with God!" I hugged my knees and cried loudly, "Gu Li is dying, Gu Li is dying..." I grabbed my hair like a madman.
"Little girl, this document has to be signed no matter whether the next operation is performed or not! Otherwise, the patient will die on the operating table! Her family members cannot be contacted, so you must sign! I put the document here, you can do whatever you want I've never seen you like this!" The doctor's voice was deafening in the corridor.
"Let me sign." Nan Xiang turned around and faced the doctor, "I will sign. And my blood type is the same as the patient's. After I sign, I will go to draw blood."
"Are you a family member of the patient?" the doctor asked.
"I'm her sister." Nan Xiang said calmly.
"...Then come with me." The doctor nodded after a while with a sullen face.
The footsteps of Nan Xiang and the doctor disappeared in the corridor.
My consciousness gradually dissipated.I feel hot cheeks against the cold tiles.I simply lay down on the ground.Much more comfortable.
It's so quiet around here.where am i
Where is Nanxiang?Where is Tang Wanru?Why is no one talking?
I clenched my fist and grabbed nothing.I vaguely heard someone say, Lin Xiao, Gu Li finally died of your weakness.
I open my eyes.The first person to see it was Tang Wanru.She sat by my hospital bed, her eyes were red.
I sat up and asked her, "Where's Gu Li? How is she?"
Tang Wanru patted the back of my hand: "Don't worry, she hasn't finished the surgery yet, but she's not in good condition...the blood keeps flowing and can't be stopped at all. Nanxiang has gone to draw blood for the second time, and she has already exceeded the maximum amount of donated blood "…" she said, choking with sobs.
I turned over and pulled out the drip needle on the back of my hand.I wore slippers and trotted all the way to the operating room.
In the corridor, Nan Xiang sat wearily on the bench.Both of her arms were bent and covered with gauze.She nodded at me, her lips pale, her hair looking lifeless under the cold fluorescent light.She barely slept for two days straight, and now she has drawn blood twice in a row.I looked at her, not knowing what to say.
I suddenly felt that what she said was right, and the person least qualified to be here was me.
I can never be of any help.
I can only continue to dedicate my sensational tears.But it's not expensive, it's the cheapest.
Nan Xiang and I leaned against each other, but I still had a splitting headache and felt weak all over.She also looked extremely weak, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.Tang Wanru curled up on the bench opposite.She was trying her best to suppress her fear.Her hands were trembling slightly.I can see it.
At [-]:[-] in the morning, the scarlet light at the door of the operating room finally went out.
The doctor came out, took off his mask, and looked softly at the faces of the three of us.
He said: "The operation was successful, and all the cancerous cells should have been removed. After a few hours, it should be out of danger."
Tang Wanru suddenly yelled, then hugged me violently and wept bitterly.She lay on my shoulder, tears streaming down my neck.
I looked at Nan Xiang, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she was slumped on the bench.After a while she buried her face in her knees, shaking violently all over, and began to cry.
Seven hours later.The doctor pushed Gu Li out of the intensive care room.
Thirteen hours later, Gu Li entered the ordinary monitoring room.We were able to come in for a visitation.
We changed into disinfectant suits and carefully surrounded Gu Li's hospital bed.Her anesthesia had just passed, coupled with severe blood loss, she was not conscious.Her mouth was not closed because of the anesthesia, and saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth.Her face was swollen like a sauce-red steamed bun, and there was only a slit left in her eye, and half of the eyeball could be seen inside.Her forehead was round and bright, and her thinning hair hung limply on her face.My eye sockets turned red quickly.
Tang Wanru and Nan Xiang were both crying silently.
"You can talk to her. Although she can't move now, her anesthesia has passed and she can hear you talking." The nurse next to her reminded her in a low voice.
"Gu Li, I'm Lin Xiao. I'm..." After I finished the opening remarks, I choked up and didn't know what to say next.
"Gu Li, I'm Tang Wanru, are you in pain?"
"Gu Li, I'm Nan Xiang. It's all over, it's okay." Nan Xiang's tears dripped on the snow-white bed sheet.
Gu Li's mouth moved.Her eyes still didn't open, but her eyeballs barely moved twice.She was drooling, and a few vague syllables uttered from her unclosed lips. I only heard "the door..." "No
Bite..." "Zhou..." several syllables.
Tang Wanru suddenly raised her hand, covered her mouth and began to cry. She squatted down suddenly, lying on Gu Li's hospital bed, crying while saying, "We won't leave, we won't leave!"
I suddenly realized that Gu Li was telling us, don't leave.
Her eyeballs rolled into swollen eyelids, and I knew she couldn't see us.In the chaotic consciousness left by the anesthetic, she was still worried about what she feared most: "You guys, don't go."
I lowered my head and found that Gu Li's ring finger had, at some point, firmly hooked my hand hanging beside her bed.
end
When Gu Li woke up from a deep sleep, she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was me, Nan Xiang, and Tang Wanru standing side by side in front of her hospital bed.After staring at us for a full minute, she spoke and said the first sentence to us, "I want to drink water."
I pass the cup over and slip the straw into her chapped lips.She sucked hard, and a tear rolled down her eye.But the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
I will never forget that smile.It was like the biggest rainbow hanging in the sky after the heavy rain.
Of course, the three of us were not the only ones standing in front of the hospital bed.
And Gu Zhun and Gu Yuan.
While Gu Li was sleeping, I told all of them the ins and outs of what happened to us.As Gu Yuan listened, his eyes turned red.He kept pinching his fists, and the knuckles creaked.
To be honest, I can't think of a time when I saw him cry, as if this was the first time.
I used to not believe in those happy endings. The ancients always said that life is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten.It can be seen that tragedy is the eternal theme of this world.I have always felt that the happy family endings in those movies and TV shows, whether lovers get married, or evil prevails, bad people lose their reputations and good people rule the world, these all seem too fake.However, our group of stumbling people seems to have gradually ushered in a happy ending that belongs to us.I looked at Gu Li whose complexion was gradually turning rosy, feeling a little dazed.
I thought of what I had said to her in the cemetery, and I said that if all is well, all is well, the worst must be over.
Perhaps we have indeed finished a large glass of bitter herbs, and next, it should be a glass of sweet wine.
Gu Li's body recovered day by day.Doctors say he is recovering well.After that, as long as you persist in the treatment, you should have a very good recovery effect.While Gu Li was hospitalized, Neil brought a very important news.This news instantly turned Gu Li into a billionaire.She laughed so hard from ear to ear in the hospital that she almost swallowed the soup spoon.
It turned out that Neil didn't come to the villa to have the last meal with us that day because he suddenly received a call from the forest guard.On the phone, the forest guard said that because of a typhoon landed, the entire roof of the small wooden house that Gu Yansheng left behind was overturned, and the house was in a mess, leaving only a standing wooden wall.The ranger asked Neil what to do with it and whether it needed to be demolished because the whole house was no longer usable.
Neil had a vague premonition when he heard the rising wooden wall.So he ran to Chongming Island overnight.result--
"Gu Li, guess what I found?" Neil cocked his mouth meanly, his golden eyebrows and eyelashes glistened in the sunlight.
"Hurry up. The doctor said, I can't use my brain too much now, or I might go into shock at any time. Don't force me to go to court and sue you for murder." Gu Li rolled his eyes.I was beside me and couldn't help laughing.She finally regained the look of venom gleaming on her fangs, and she looked very kind.
"Those wooden walls are standing too firmly. The huge trees around them are swaying here and there, and many of them are even broken by the wind. But the four wooden walls are fine, which is too inconsistent with physics. So, I picked up The hammer chiseled the wooden wall. Guess what, all the walls that look like wooden boards are double-layered, and between the wooden boards are brick walls made of golden bricks. You can't blow this iron wall."
"Damn it, didn't you say that there is a golden house in the book? How did it become the golden house in the forest?" Tang Wanru gasped as she was holding a bowl of porridge to cool Gu Li. , I almost sucked the porridge into my lungs at this moment.
"But why did Gu Yansheng change the money into a pile of gold and put it in the house? It's too unsafe." Gu Li frowned, obviously she was also frightened by the result.
"Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Who would have thought that there are so many thick gold bricks in such a dilapidated house? Even those of us who have been there have not thought of it. Outsiders Not to mention. And, I have to say, your dad is a criminal genius." Neil cleared his throat and continued, "You know he was operating this gold trade, it happened to be 2007, when gold fell At the lowest price of $[-] an ounce, if your father can buy a lot at this price, there must be someone inside who leaked the information to him. Therefore, he dare not use his personal identity to conduct transactions, which will inevitably lead to investigation and suspicion. Insider operations. However, if the company's money is used for gold transactions blatantly, on the one hand, other shareholders cannot be persuaded not to speak out; That's why Gu Yansheng came up with such a gimmick. First, use the money to pass through intricate financial derivatives to make it look like it evaporated out of thin air. Then use the money to buy a large amount of gold, and wait until the money is sold. , and then fill the hole with the previously embezzled principal. So, the huge profits can be enjoyed by themselves, and there is no worry of being investigated at all.”
"Then, speaking of it this way, "ME" also operates in the same way?" Gu Li nodded while thinking.
"It should be. And it is possible that Gong Xun also disclosed this news to your father. As for who has the information and who designed the plan, we will never know." Neil sighed, his expression seemed to be It's a pity.
"Why?" Gu Li asked.
"Because while you were in a coma, Gong Xun suddenly suffered a stroke. All his family members flew to Italy. Yesterday, their family declared Gong Xun brain-dead. Now they are in the legal process of enforcing the inheritance .”
I finally understood why Sogo suddenly disappeared.
"Gu Li, do you know how much money you have now?" Neil blinked suddenly.
"How much?" Gu Li raised his eyebrows.
"You promise to give me ten percent, and I'll tell you." Neil smiled mysteriously.
"I'll give you 15.00%. Tell me." Gu Li seemed to be a different person after passing the life-and-death test a few days ago.If it was before, she must have bargained and fought with Neil for twenty rounds without letting go.
"The current price of gold is 2000 US dollars an ounce, which is [-] times the previous purchase price of Gu Yansheng. You now have close to [-] million in cash. Cash, sister!!" Neil's eyes widened, and he seemed also Shocked by the number in his mouth, "Damn it, I suddenly got [-] million!"
"Don't worry, I haven't said how to pay." Gu Li smiled and patted Neil on the head, "Brother, I will pay in installments, and the payment will be completed in 60 years."
Neil: "..."
After Gu Li finished speaking, he looked up at Nan Xiang who was opening a can of fruit, and said to her, "I still have to pay back 7000 million to the company. The stock in Gu Zhun's hand has greatly appreciated in value. Hurry up, Hurry up and get married."
Nan Xiang turned his head and smiled shyly at Gu Li.
"Gu Yiyuan," Gu Li suddenly thought of something, "That's a good name, you can call me that in the future, it sounds like a shameless American politician."
I looked up, the sunshine outside the window was so nice.Numerous golden sycamore leaves are blown by the autumn wind, like swarms of butterflies.
There are light dust floating in the light beam, and I look at them in a daze.For the entire vast universe, perhaps our world is just one small speck of dust.Our group of people tossed and tossed, tears and blood flowed, and finally stepped on the ground firmly.
On the day Gu Li was discharged from the hospital, Tang Wanru happened to move.
Yes, Tang Wanru moved again.
The scene of her last move seemed to be as vivid as yesterday.However, at this moment, she couldn't help tossing again.Because she found a job as a health care trainer in a large foreign-funded enterprise in Jing'an, with a good salary and easy work.So, she found an apartment in Jing'an braggingly, and threw herself into it.
I helped Ruru pack up in the morning, and I will pick up Gu Li in the afternoon.When I was going out, I had a sudden whim, and I said, "Either call everyone together and come to your place to help you hold a house warming party, even if it means completing the unfinished party in our Jing'an villa last time."
Tang Wanru gasped: "Lin Xiao, it's easy for you to say, do you know how much food I want to buy with so many people? You patted your ass to pick up Gu Li, what about me? I can't figure it out. I don't Dry!"
"It's not until noon now, and you have an afternoon to prepare. It will definitely be enough by dinner time. I'll ask them to come to you first in the afternoon to help you. I'll be responsible for sending Gu Li over."
"No, no, no." Tang Wanru shook her head like a rattle.
Then, I stubbornly soaked Tang Wanru for half an hour, and finally, she agreed.The price was that I helped her get a signed photo of Gong Ming in swimming briefs.I agreed without hesitation, but I was thinking in my heart that this is the same as asking Voldemort to twist the Yangko, it is an impossible task.
I called Neil along the way, to Gu Yuan, to Gu Zhun, and told them where the afternoon meeting was.
When I arrived at the hospital, Gu Li and Nan Xiang were already waiting for me at the entrance of the hospital.
Gu Li returned to her chipmunk appearance again, with compass-like high heels on her feet, wrapped in a tight black dress, the sunglasses on her face were too big, it looked like she just stole the welder's protective glasses Come to the top of the head.
While supporting her back, she said to me in a strange voice: "Lin Xiao, do you have any humanity? Have you ever seen a patient who was discharged later than the patient? Today is your luck." , I am too lazy to scold you, the doctor told me that my wound has not fully healed, and if I speak or breathe a little harder, there may be a big bleeding..."
I hurriedly stuffed her and Nan Xiang into the taxi.
As soon as the car reached Weihai Road, my phone rang.I took out my phone, and Gong Ming's name flashed on my screen.
I picked it up and listened for a while, then put the phone down and told the driver to pull over on the side of the road.
I turned my head to look at Gu Li's confused face, and said, "You and Nan Xiang go first. I have to go back to the company. Gong Ming is back."
Gu Li frowned: "I was originally weak, and I didn't want to go crazy at Tang Wanru's house. It was you who insisted on going, but it turned out to be fine, but you slipped away."
I shook my head, opened the car door, and said, "I'm not slipping away. I'm just going for a while, and I'll be here in a while. I promise Gu Yiyuan."
There is no one in "ME" on weekends except for the guards and security guards.I took out the access control card and opened the door of the company.
When Gong Ming went to Italy for half a month, I almost asked for leave to accompany Gu Li.It's only half a month since I didn't come, but it feels like a long time.I put the bag on the seat in my own cubicle, then turned around and went to the tea room, took out the coffee that Gong Ming likes to drink, and made a full pot.
I pushed open the door to the room, and he was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the skyline in a cloud of dust.That is the sand and sand raised by countless pile drivers and crane arms. This city is changing its appearance every minute and will never stop.
Gong Ming heard the sound of the door opening and turned his head.He was wearing a thin camel-colored cashmere sweater with a low neckline, revealing the muscles of his chest.His sleeves were gently rolled up to the elbows, and on the clear muscle lines of his forearms, the soft hairs shone like diamonds in the sun.He always seemed so charming - an enigma.
"You probably know it all, right?" He looked at me and said such a sentence suddenly.His voice still carries that bewildering magnetism, which is cold yet frenzied.
I nodded and shook my head again.I put coffee on his desk.
"Actually, I just want to talk to you about Sogo. As for other things, I don't care, and it's not important." He turned his gaze out of the window again, and he left me with an extremely handsome side face, with bushy eyebrows His brow arches and eye sockets cast black shadows.There is a blue mustache around his chin.He looks more mature than before.
I stood with my head down and didn't speak.
"The level of Chongguang's involvement in this plan is very, very low. He doesn't even know the relationship between my father Gong Xun and Gu Li's father Gu Yansheng. Therefore, he doesn't know that Gu Li is involved in this matter. Dad is asking him to pretend When sacrificing his life and living with a brand new life, he just told him that the company is facing a huge problem, and there must be someone to take the blame. And his cancer condition just happened to be the most logical death that would not arouse suspicion. Lin Xiao , maybe you don't know what kind of family we grew up in, I can only say that we have always obeyed Gong Xun's request and could not resist." Gong Ming turned his head and looked at me. Feel the warmth in his eyes, "So Chong Guang is really simple, his hands are cleaner than anyone else. So, you don't have to resent him because of this matter. He is one flight later than me , I will return to Shanghai tomorrow. He will definitely look for you immediately. I tell you this because I hope you can communicate with him calmly, listen to his explanation, and don't torture him. I can see that he really likes you. "
I nodded wildly.blushing.
"I'm just such a younger brother, you have to treat him well." Gong Ming suddenly showed his teeth to me and smiled, his smile was like the setting sun behind him, with a beauty that made people want to cry, "It's okay , you go to spend the weekend. I will stay here by myself for a while, and then I will go home."
I nodded and turned to leave.I took two steps, thought of something, turned around and looked at Gong Ming: "Mr. Gong, we have a small party, and it's all people you know, or...you can come and join us?"
"Hehe, no need. I'm not used to places with too many people. I'm afraid of making trouble." Gong Ming thought for a while, and then said, "But I can ask the driver to drive you. I just happen to be going home too."
Gong Ming and I stood by the side of the road and waited for the driver to bring the car up from the basement.
At this moment, my phone rang, and when I answered it, Tang Wanru's voice sounded like he was trying to cheat: "Lin Xiao, let me tell you, there is a mysterious guest at my house. Guess who it is?"
I was too lazy to guess: "I'm going to hang up."
"Don't, don't, don't," Tang Wanru screamed over there, "Lin Xiao, let me tell you, it's Chongguang! But right now, he's already asleep on my bed. He said he changed the contract the first time. I can’t stand the jet lag right now, so go and take a nap first, and call him when you come back. He said he kept calling you just now, but no one answered your phone. So he called Gu Li , I heard that we are here, he didn't even put his luggage, he came directly... Lin Xiao, let me tell you, this is the first time I saw someone who sat on a plane for more than ten hours, unkempt and sloppy, But he is still so handsome, his sleeping appearance is not to mention how charming, his trembling eyelashes..."
I had to hang up the phone.I couldn't calmly listen to Tang Wanru talking about my boyfriend in such an obscene tone.What's more, Sogo is still lying on her bed at the moment.I really doubt that she might not change the sheets for a month.
When I got in the car, I opened the text message Tang Wanru had sent me, and read the address to the driver: "Master, please take me to No. 707, Lane 1, Jiaozhou Road, near Yuyao Road. It's a teacher's apartment. .Please excuse me, master."
To be honest, I rarely sit with Gong Ming in the back seat of his car.Although I used to sleep and even eat biscuits wrapped in a blanket in his spacious back seat countless times when Gong Ming was not around.However, it was very rare to actually sit side by side with him in such silence.The car is going very fast, but it feels as if it is standing still, with no bumps at all.The glass windows were closed tightly, and the traffic outside the window was completely isolated behind the silence.In the narrow air, there is the smell of Gong Ming's body, a bitter smell similar to the high tide of sea water.
My cell phone suddenly rang embarrassingly in such silence, I hurriedly answered it, Neil yelled on the phone: "Lin Xiao, when are you coming, we are all here, just waiting for you Hey! Gu Li said that her doctor told her that she should not wait for someone for more than 10 minutes after the operation, otherwise a uterus will easily grow in the abdominal cavity... Hahahaha, by the way, Lin Xiao, your man is off now The clothes are sleeping on Tang Wanru's bed, if you don't come again...or so, anyway, sooner or later Tang Wan will lay hands on you, why don't you lend me a loan first...Ahh..."
After his laughter rang strangely for a few times, it seemed to be floating away, and then there were a few exclamations, and then the sound of plates breaking, and there was a lot of noise in the receiver. I could hear Tang Wanru's shocking decibels, obviously , Neil was beaten by Tang Wanru.I was about to speak when the phone was disconnected.When I called, there was no signal.
I turned my head, embarrassed Gong Ming and shrugged apologetically.
Gong Ming smiled lightly, not paying attention at all.Holding the remote control in his hand, he tuned the car radio to a random channel.A magnetic voice floated out from the speaker: "Good afternoon, listeners, today is November 2010, 11. Welcome to "Today in History". On this day in 15, that is, November 1988, the Soviet Union First launch of a large practical space shuttle 'Buran' into space..."
The radio waves echoed in the carriage, and the sun shone in warmly through the glass.
I suddenly had a feeling of happiness when I woke up on a Sunday morning when I was a child, smelling the smell of food and listening to the sound of the radio broadcast.
"Just turn the intersection ahead." The driver told me politely.
I raised my head, and on the horizon, a round of red sun reflected the sky into a brilliant cloud.Shanghai has a gray sky all year round, and it is rare to see such a beautiful fire cloud.
I turned my head to look at Gong Ming, his eyebrows and eyes were still shrouded in a mysterious shadow in the gorgeous clouds.His eyes are lowered, looking like an indifferent angel in oil painting.I saw an imperceptible fine line in the corner of his eye.
Over the years, he has also aged.
I suddenly felt that he was lonelier than anyone else.
The car turned the intersection and stopped.Gong Ming and I raised our heads and saw that the front was completely blocked.Many cars crowded together and kept honking their horns.The brilliant clouds in the distance became more intense, and the psychedelic light and shadow illuminated the whole street red, as if God had knocked over a huge bucket of red dye on the street.
Gong Ming and I opened the door and got out of the car, looking forward.
After watching for 2 minutes, I suddenly yelled hysterically and ran forward.
Gong Ming firmly held my hand, pinching my wrist with a black bruise.
I slumped on the ground with a long bloody gash on my knee.
When I returned to Shanghai again, exactly one year had passed.
This time, I drove past the intersection by myself.The brilliant clouds have disappeared.The pitch-black building is still wrapped in green scaffolding. It stands alone in the twilight of Shanghai, looking like a huge monument.
There are some white daisies left by passers-by on the side of the road, and the fine petals are blown by the autumn wind and spread all over the ground.
I stopped at the original intersection and lay on the steering wheel.The clear stabbing pain that Gong Ming left me at that time still remains on my wrist.
Later, I often dreamed the same scene.
In the dream, we were still in the dormitory of the university.Outside the window was the bright morning sun, and the entire dormitory was shrouded in a soft and pure white color.Gu Li was tossing in front of the water dispenser the weird drink she had collected just now. She made a pot of crooked blue stuff and was pouring it into four cups with bright eyes at the moment, ready to serve it to us.
Tang Wanru, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa profusely sweating, twisting the cap of a bottle of sports drink vigorously.
And Nan Xiang and I were leaning head to head, whispering on the sofa in pajamas, giggling and laughing non-stop for some reason, we are still 20 years old, with plump and shiny apple muscles, like girl.
Both of us have black and shiny hair, long and loose, intertwined and inseparable.
Nov. 2011, 11
Finished in Shanghai
