At that time, his consciousness seemed to be half in reality and half still immersed in dreams.
He tried hard to open his eyes, and seemed to see a doctor in a white coat and a nurse pushing open the door and walking in. At that moment, the light from the corridor shone through the open door, and it was all white. His eyes stung and he turned his head away, and it took him a while to regain his sight.
Both people who came in were wearing masks. Ou Renjin squinted his eyes and stared at them in a confused state. He watched them slowly walk to his mother's bedside and carefully observed the various data on the instruments.
The nurse standing behind handed over a disposable syringe, then lowered her head and very carefully took out three glass bottles of medicine from her pocket, opened them one by one easily, and handed them out again.
The doctor seemed to chuckle and injected the medicine into the large bottle of drip.
At that time, Ou Renjin did not notice anything wrong. He did not make a sound or any movement, and was soon pulled into a sleepy dream again.
He woke up early the next day because his back and waist ached after sleeping on the floor all night. He couldn't help wanting to cry. He could only lie on the head of the bed and complain quietly to his sleeping mother. His voice was in a baby voice, and it carried the fear and grievance that he couldn't suppress.
Uncle Guan, who was taking care of him, woke up early in the morning and was scared to death when he did not see Ou Renjin in the ward. He hurried all the way to Ou's mother's ward and was relieved when he saw the little figure lying on the head of the bed.
"You got up so early in the morning and came to see your mother." Uncle Guan pulled him up from the cold floor and rubbed his head. "Don't worry, the doctor said yesterday that your mother will get better soon."
As he spoke, he glanced at the bed, then subconsciously glanced at the monitor. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he ran out trembling and staggering.
Ou Renjin was left alone there, looking at Uncle Guan's back in a daze as he rushed out. For some reason, his heart seemed to sink little by little from that moment on. He seemed to have some kind of premonition, but he was unwilling to believe it.
The doctor came over quickly and pushed him aside as he was blocking the bed. The doctor lifted his mother's eyelids and started listening with the stethoscope again.
Uncle Guan pulled him over and shielded him behind him, then began to sob as he called the Ou family.
His grandfather and his uncle's family came over quickly. His aunt started to cry and scream, as if she had a deep friendship with his mother. His grandfather asked the doctor why his daughter-in-law died suddenly after her condition had improved, and why the monitor did not show any warnings even though her body was stiff.
There was a chaos of voices, and countless voices were mixed together. Ou Renjin held on to the door frame of the ward stiffly, looking at the white cloth on the bed that was pulled up to cover his face, and felt that everything was so unreal.
He looked at it quietly for a long time, then suddenly turned around and ran towards his father's ward.
Then he saw his uncle sitting at the head of his father's bed, wetting a cotton swab with water and moistening the lips of his father, who was fasting and not drinking water. After two times, the uncle threw the cotton swab aside, suddenly lowered his head, and let out a suppressed sob of pain.
At this moment, Ou Renjin couldn't hold back his tears. Just as he was about to walk in, he heard his uncle speak with red eyes and great sorrow, "Your sister-in-law passed away this morning. If you can't make it, leaving Xiaojin a child without a father or a mother, what will you do in the future?"
It's like a curse.
The sleeping man seemed to move his fingers, and the heart monitor immediately issued a sharp and piercing alarm.
Ou Renjin was shocked. He looked at Ou Yiyun with an incredulous look. His brain was as slow as a rusty gear. For some reason, he didn't even have time to feel sad or afraid. A strange idea grew wildly in his mind like a vine.
He felt that his uncle did it on purpose.
He took two steps back, and the chaotic scene seemed to be repeated before his eyes. The hairs on his body stood on end, and there was a voice repeating in his mind - he did it on purpose.
On this day, Ou Renjin lost both his parents.
Later, after a long time, his parents had been buried, and he was still troubled by what his uncle said at his father's bedside. In front of the whole family, he questioned him loudly in his childish voice, with tears on his face.
But all the people gave him incredulous looks in response. They thought he was being unreasonable and that he had hurt their uncle's feelings.
On a not-so-special night, he was suddenly awakened by a nightmare.
In his dream, he was lying in the dark, and the sound of footsteps stepping on his heart was clearly audible. Then he suddenly woke up and watched two masked medical staff walk into the ward against the light, walk to his mother's bedside, and inject a medicine into her.
At that moment, that vague scene that seemed like a dream seemed to be suddenly deeply imprinted in his mind. Every sound they made and every movement they made seemed like a coherent and clear movie.
He was trembling all over, jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to find his grandfather. At the stairs, he tripped over his left foot and fell heavily, but he got up without saying a word and continued to run downstairs. He ran into Ou Zhenghui's room and suddenly grabbed his hand.
He tried hard to express his guesses and thoughts, but his words were not clear and his statements were incoherent. Ou Zhenghui had just comforted him too many times about his strange nightmares during this period, and he was secretly angry because Ou Zhenghui insisted that his uncle had deliberately angered his father to death and kept pestering him. He had already exceeded the limit of caring and loving his grandson, and became uncontrollably impatient. He scolded him before he could say a few words and waved his hand to send him off.
Ou Renjin's voice suddenly stopped there, and an inexplicable sense of emptiness spread. Hurt and despair, it seemed that the whole world had darkened. Ou Renjin can still remember that feeling clearly until now.
The death of his parents was his most profound setback and blow, but it was on the night when his grandfather nonchalantly rebuked him to go back quickly that he suddenly realized that no one in this world would be his fortress anymore, he had no one to rely on, and he could only grow up on his own.
"Have you found out what happened that night?" After coming back to his senses from the long memories, Ou Renjin tried hard to keep his tone calm.
"I didn't dare to ask directly, so I tried to ask her indirectly. She said that a long time ago, she was fired because she took the blame for a hospital equipment failure in China." The man's tone was a little strange. "Tell me, should I use a soft approach or a hard approach?"
"I don't care about that, I just need to know the result."
"Got it. I'll give you the results within half a month."
When Ou Shaowen quietly walked into the villa holding a life-size pillow that was almost as tall as himself, he breathed a sigh of relief at the empty living room because of his narrow vision. He planned to secretly move the things to his room while Ou Renjin was working in the study.
Qi Yue took him to a BJD doll customization studio, where there was a room full of exquisite and beautiful dolls. He admired them for a long time with great interest and decided that this was his favorite thing in the world.
He took out a photo of Ou Renjin from his mobile phone and sent it to the store manager, paid a deposit, and agreed to pick up the finished product in forty days.
While waiting for the invoice, he found another thing that made him excited. The store manager explained that this could be made immediately and available on the same day. Ou Shaowen pursed his lips, thought for a moment under his meaningful eyes, and finally made a decision.
Give the doll as a gift to Ou Renjin and keep the pillow for yourself.
He did not forget that Ou Renjin's previous promise was only to live in the villa until the end of the month, but the feeling of having someone accompany him to sleep was too good. Just like Qi Yue said, if he couldn't afford a real person, he could at least buy a substitute.
After that, he can fall asleep hugging the pillow every day, and you can do whatever you want to him, kiss him, hug him, and talk to him without worrying about waking him up in the middle of the night.
He walked towards the stairs holding the pillow, and as he walked, he lowered his head and rubbed Ou Renjin's face on the pillow with a look of satisfaction.
"What are you holding?" A deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Ou Shaowen was frightened and trembled slightly, hugging the pillow's waist tightly.
Ou Renjin poked his head out from behind the sofa. He unbuttoned two buttons of his thin pajamas, revealing most of his chest. He glanced at him lightly and said casually, "It can't be my body pillow."
Ou Shaowen: “…”
But why can he always easily guess what he is thinking and what he has done
Is this also his special ability? Just like his whole body can quickly heal and regenerate.
Ou Renjin looked at his shocked expression. Although he was not in the mood to laugh, he raised the corner of his mouth habitually and said, "Is it for me?"
Before Ou Shaowen could answer, he heard the second half of his sentence.
"Or are you planning to give it to yourself?"
He pressed the pillow's head into the crook of his neck with one hand and asked tentatively, "I want to keep it for myself. Can I have him?"
If it was the usual Ou Renjin, he would definitely smile and tease him, something like - you already have the real person, isn't it redundant to go look at the pillow
But he was a little exhausted now. He loosened his hands that were supporting the backrest and let himself fall back on the sofa. He looked at the ceiling and answered slowly, "Okay."
Ou Shaowen quickly ran upstairs to put his pillow, then he jumped down three floors in one step, squatted beside the sofa, and kissed him heavily on the face, "Ou Renjin, I am very happy today."
"Yeah?"
He closed his eyes and didn't open them.
Ou Shaowen didn't care, he leaned over to his face and rubbed it gently, just like when he rubbed the pillow just now. It was a bit of a pity, he was still happier when he was leaning against the real person.
When he finished kissing and rubbing and was about to get up, Ou Renjin grabbed his hand and exerted force, trying to pull him into his arms.
Ou Shaowen was really frightened this time. He was afraid that his head would accidentally hit Ou Renjin's chest, so he tried to tilt his head upwards as he fell down due to the force.
With a "bang", his forehead hit the armrest of the sofa.
Ou Renjin stopped what he was doing and looked at Ou Shaowen's dull eyes, feeling a little amused and helpless.
He reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, "Are you here just to make me laugh?"
