Yuan Wu rode on the bench and waited for almost ten minutes. Lin Chengbu didn't come out of the building. He looked at the time, bent over and closed his eyes with his forehead against the chair.
I guess it was too cold to eat at noon? After so long, you have to be dehydrated...
Yuan Wu slept for a while with his head on the stool, and when he opened his eyes again, he was woken up by Dr. Liang's phone call.
"I'm downstairs," Yuan Wu answered the phone, "I'll go up here."
Lin Chengbu still didn't come out, Yuan Wu rubbed his crushed forehead and sent a message to Lin Chengbu while walking towards Dr. Liang.
- I'll go up first, I'm running out of paper and call me.
However, Lin Chengbu didn't answer him.
Today, Dr. Liang talked to him mainly about going to the old man and the old lady in the morning. After he finished speaking, Dr. Liang did not comment much on what he experienced.
"You said you felt compelled to give them the keys," Dr. Liang said. "It's like a ritual, and we can understand it as an end to the past, right?"
"Yes." Yuan Wu nodded.
"Then the full stop has been drawn this morning," Dr. Liang filled his glass with some water. "After that, don't blame yourself for this."
"… Hmm." Yuan Wu responded.
"It's really not easy to do," Dr. Liang smiled, "after all, the experience and environment at that age have a great impact on people, but you have to be able to know why you think when you want to think like that again. If you think about it, how should you deal with it?”
"It's difficult." Yuan Wu said softly.
"Of course it's difficult. If it wasn't difficult, there wouldn't be so many psychological problems," Dr. Liang said. "It's the same sentence. You can only change if you want to. Sometimes it's harder to deny yourself than to affirm yourself."
"I will..." Yuan Wu frowned, "Take your time..."
"You can take your time, but you can't use it as an excuse," Dr. Liang looked at him, "Do you understand me?"
"I mean it a little bit now, don't I?" Yuan Wu smiled, "I feel a little bit."
"Fix it as soon as you realize it," Dr. Liang said with a smile, "Don't be lazy."
Every time he came out from Dr. Liang, Yuan Wu felt refreshed, but after a few days, he would go back a little.
This made him quite depressed, and some habitual thinking really made him irritable.
The only thing that made him feel more at ease was that the state of walking back was slowly decreasing at a very slight speed.
Maybe he really should listen to Dr. Liang, stop huddled in his room, go out and go back to his normal life, work, friends...
Even if he is alone with Lin Chengbu, sometimes he feels that he has much less time to think about it.
In fact, Lin Chengbu was quite an interesting Jehovah, and he wouldn't feel irritable when he was with him. Before... I really didn't notice it.
Gee.
However, Yahweh did not wait at the place to go out as Yuan Wu had imagined. Yuan Wu went all the way to his car and saw no one.
There was no one in the car.
Yuan Wu turned around the car, feeling a little magical.
He bent down and looked under the car.
I should be under the car, shouldn't be here...
Someone honked the horn behind him, and he turned his head to see a familiar red car approaching.
But why it was familiar, he didn't remember for a while.
The car pulled up beside him with the windows down.
"Xiao Wu!" Someone inside shouted with his head stretched out.
Yuan Wu was stunned for a while, then glanced into the car, and after a few seconds, he said somewhat unexpectedly, "Chengyu?"
"Get in the car." Jiang Chengyu beckoned.
"Why... you?" Yuan Wu glanced at Lin Cheng's bicycle, "Lin..."
"Get in the car and tell you." Jiang Chengyu opened the door.
Yuan Wu hesitated for a while, then got into the car: "Where's Lin Chengburen?"
"Hospital," Jiang Chengyu said as he turned around, "just now..."
"What?" Yuan Wu interrupted him in surprise, suddenly feeling a little cold in his hands, "Hospital? He's sick? What's going on?"
"Acute gastritis," Jiang Chengyu said, "he..."
"Acute gastritis?" Yuan Wu stared at him, "How could... how did you know?"
"Can you let me finish?" Jiang Chengyu gave him a sideways look, "How do I know, who else can he find other than me when everyone is at work."
Yuan Wu didn't speak, just looked at him.
Jiang Chengyu waited for a while, then glanced at him again: "No, are you all right?"
"Aren't you going to tell me to finish?" Yuan Wu said, "Are you finished?"
"...No," Jiang Chengyu sighed, "he called me and said that he had to drive to the hospital for acute gastritis. You and Dr. Liang were chatting and didn't call you, and asked me to come pick you up directly. "
"Acute gastritis?" Yuan Wu frowned, his voice a little low, "How come?"
"It's cold at noon," Jiang Chengyu said. "His stomach has always been bad. What did you two eat for lunch?"
"… ice cream." Yuan Wu said.
"Lunch?" Jiang Chengyu was stunned.
"Well," Yuan Wu nodded, "Lunch."
"You two are awesome." Jiang Chengyu smiled.
"Has his stomach been bad all the time?" Yuan Wu asked.
"Occupational disease, before I arrived in Chunzhi, why didn't I do things in those little broken restaurants? I didn't eat regularly," Jiang Chengyu said. "The stomach is not good after a long time."
"Oh," Yuan Wu pressed his forehead, "I don't know."
"You don't know it's normal," Jiang Chengyu said, "I haven't seen him a few times before."
Yuan Wu made no sound.
Jiang Chengyu's car turned right again after driving to the main road, Yuan Wu looked outside: "Where to go?"
"Hospital," Jiang Chengyu said, "I have to stay in the hospital for observation. It is probably quite serious."
"Yeah." Yuan Wu responded.
Lin Chengbu went to the nearest hospital and arrived in a short while. Jiang Chengyu drove the car into the parking lot, and Yuan Wu was suddenly a little scared.
"Let's go." Jiang Chengyu got out of the car.
"I... I'm not going." Yuan Wu sat in the car and didn't move.
"What?" Jiang Chengyu was stunned, leaning on the car door and looking at him, "Aren't you going in?"
Yuan Wu didn't speak, and after a while, he responded, "Mm."
"No," Jiang Chengyu was a little bewildered, "Why? You're already here, so you just stay in the car?"
Yuan Wu glanced at him, pushed open the door and got out of the car: "I'll go back."
"Xiao Wu," Jiang Chengyu clicked his tongue, "Aren't you, he just said something very vain, why don't you go see him in this situation?"
Yuan Wu turned his head and stared at him for a long time, then nodded: "Well."
Jiang Chengyu opened his mouth but didn't say a word, then raised his finger to point at him, but still didn't say a word, then turned around and walked over to the hospital.
"Nurse," Lin Chengbu lay on the bed in the observation room, looking at the hanging bottle, "Can't this be adjusted faster?"
"No," the nurse glanced at him, "don't make it faster yourself! What's the use of taking the medicine so fast and not absorbing it."
"...I don't feel like there's anything wrong," Lin Chengbu sighed, "It's okay not to fight, right?"
"Is the chairman waiting for you to read the documents?" The nurse frowned, "I don't care about my own body."
Lin Chengbu smiled and was about to speak when the door of the observation room was pushed open and Jiang Chengyu walked in.
"You're here?" As soon as he saw Jiang Chengyu, he immediately sat up and looked behind Jiang Chengyu, "Where's Yuan Wu? Did you pick him up?"
"Take it," Jiang Chengyu looked at his face, "Is it so haggard in an instant?"
"Where's the person?" Lin Chengbu found that there was no one behind Jiang Chengyu, "Did you send him back?"
"...Ah," Jiang Chengyu looked up at the hanging bottle, "yes, he went back."
Lin Chengbu was stunned for a while, feeling that he couldn't tell what it was, and lay back on the pillow: "Oh."
After the nurse went out, Jiang Chengyu took a stool and sat beside the bed: "Are you a little disappointed?"
"What do you think?" Lin Chengbu turned his head.
"In fact, he just arrived at the door of the hospital," Jiang Chengyu said. "Suddenly he can't come in. I think something is wrong."
Lin Chengbu turned his head back again: "What did he say?"
"I basically don't speak, so I can't come in. I want to go home," Jiang Chengyu said. "Is there any psychological problem that hasn't been resolved? I said at the beginning that he didn't object to coming to the hospital."
"I don't know," Lin Chengbu frowned, "his father... died of illness. When he was hospitalized, it seemed that no one in his family let him go to the hospital. Is it because of this?"
"Maybe," Jiang Chengyu sighed, "this guy, I don't know when it will be normal."
"Are you waiting for him to go back and make money for you?" Lin Chengbu smiled.
"That's what I said," Jiang Chengyu laughed. "Although he is my rival in love, I have been with his friend longer than my rival. If it weren't for you, I might still be chasing him..."
"Why are you like this?" Lin Chengbu clicked his tongue. "A person who was originally quite literate, can't show how he talks and does things."
"I thought about it and let it go," Jiang Chengyu said, "Yuan Wu's character is good for being friends, but not for falling in love, at least I can't stand it."
After chatting with Jiang Chengyu for a while, Lin Chengbu felt tired. Although he told the nurse that he was all right, in fact, the sudden onset of acute gastritis made him feel a little collapsed.
"Go back," Lin Chengbu said. Jiang Chengyu usually sleeps during the day, and only gets up around dinner time to deal with the bar. Now it's almost time for him to get busy. "I'll take a nap."
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Chengyu asked, "Can you eat now?"
"I'm not hungry, and I can't eat," Lin Chengbu said, "I haven't been so weak for a long time... I just want to sleep."
"Okay then," Jiang Chengyu looked at the time, "call me if you have something to do. If I don't hear you, call the office and ask them to call me."
"Well," Lin Chengbu nodded, "Thank you."
"Do I have to say you're welcome?" Jiang Chengyu stood up.
"Don't be so polite." Lin Chengbu smiled.
Yuan Wu sat on the stone bench outside the hospital door. Now that it was cold, the stone bench was no longer covered by his butt, and it was still cold after sitting for more than an hour.
He felt that he would have acute enteritis or something if he sat down again. He just stood up and wanted to warm his butt, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Chengyu walking out of the hospital gate.
He quickly sat back and looked down at his shoes.
Jiang Chengyu walked quite fast, and he didn't even look around. He walked past the stone bench and didn't find him sitting here.
Yuan Wu didn't want Jiang Chengyu to see that he was still here.
He had been wandering around the hospital since he got out of the car, and he was scared.
Fear of the hospital.
I don't know why there is such a fear, or some kind of resistance. He has too many bad memories of the hospital and the patients.
Won Shin, who has to go to the hospital constantly for the father who was not able to see him in the last days.
More about Won Shin.
Yes, Won Shin who goes to the hospital every week, Won Shin who needs to take medicine without interruption, Won Shin who is lying on the ground twitching in pain, Won Shin who always has a faint hospital breath on his body.
He is afraid of these.
Because of you, Yuan Shen is like this. Your father is sick, who knows if it is also because of you
Grandma's words are always so precise and lethal.
He hasn't been in a hospital for so many years, he's working out in the gym, running, hoping he can stay away from it.
Although now he keeps telling himself that these have nothing to do with him.
But still can't control it.
If he didn't want to eat an ice cream dinner at noon, why would Lin Chengbu be lying in the hospital now
Still because of you.
He stood up a little irritably, walked back and forth along the road in front of the hospital, sat back on the stone bench, and crossed his legs.
Someone looked at him, but he didn't care and closed his eyes.
Dr. Liang has taught him many ways to calm himself down, deep breathing, meditation, self-hypnosis... There is always one that suits you.
Half an hour later, Yuan Wu opened his eyes and slowly let out a breath.
An uncle was looking at him next to him. Before he closed his eyes, the uncle was there. Now he opened his eyes and asked, "Qigong? Meditate?"
"Meditation." Yuan Wu gave him an inscrutable smile, got up and walked over to the hospital gate.
Go as fast as you can, and walk into the hospital in a guru-like manner before the courage has worn off.
For someone who has basically never been to a hospital in memory, the hospital is a dizzying place.
Standing in the hall for five minutes, Yuan Wu still hadn't figured out where he was going to find Lin Chengbu.
But he didn't really want to call Lin Chengbu. First, he felt that it might affect his rest. Second, once he made a call, he would have no chance to regret leaving the hospital.
"Sir," a leading doctor finally saw him, looked him up and down, then came over and asked, "Is there anything I need help?"
"I... find someone," Yuan Wu guessed that his image of not getting a haircut for a long time and the expression on his face looking blankly looked a bit like a medical trouble in the eyes of the leading doctor. Squeezed out a smile, "My friend... has been to the hospital with acute gastritis..."
"Is it an emergency?" the doctor asked.
"I don't know, it should be," Yuan Wu said, "It was said to be in the hospital for observation."
"The observation room is over there," the doctor said with a smile, "I'll take you there."
When Yuan Wu pushed open the door of the observation room, Lin Chengbu was sitting on the hospital bed, and a nurse was dialing the needle for him: "Take a break before moving around."
"Well, I don't think I..." Lin Chengbu pressed the cotton swab in his hand and glanced at the door as he spoke. When he saw him, he was stunned.
"Finished... Needle?" Yuan Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and asked at the door.
"Ah," Lin Chengbu responded, and then quickly lay back on the pillow, "hit... it's over... it's over..."
"Didn't you just say that you're all right?" The nurse smiled when she saw him.
"I... didn't... said..." Lin Chengbu closed his eyes.
The nurse packed up with a smile: "It's true that you don't have a good time. You have to have injections and observation in the past two days. If there is any problem, the gastroscope can't be avoided."
"I... didn't... hide... The doctor said that I am innocent and don't need a gastroscope." Lin Chengbu said.
The nurse explained two more sentences and then went out. Lin Chengbu opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Wu: "Why are you here? Jiang Chengyu said you went home."
"Well," Yuan Wu walked over to his bed, bent down and looked at his face, "I don't need to pretend to be weak anymore."
"Ah." Lin Chengbu smiled embarrassedly.
Yuan Wu could see that he smiled reluctantly, his face was bloodless, his lips were still a little blue, and he was indeed still very weak.
"Why are you here!" Lin Chengbu asked again, although weak, he still couldn't hold back his surprise.
"I've been... at the door." Yuan Wu sat on the small stool beside the bed.
"Then why don't you come in?" Lin Chengbu looked at him in surprise, "Do you want to... do psychological construction?"
Yuan Wu smiled and said nothing.
"Jiang Chengyu just left for a while." Lin Chengbu said.
"I came in after seeing him go out," Yuan Wu said, "How are you feeling now?"
"It's... well... well..." Lin Chengbu dragged his voice, thought for a while and then clicked his tongue, "You actually just watch your rival and I stay alone like this."
"My rival in love?" Yuan Wu looked at him, "When did Jiang Chengyu become my rival in love?"
"I tell you, don't believe it," Lin Chengbu grinned at him, "Sooner or later you two will be rivals in love, really."
Yuan Wu stared at him for a while: "Can you eat now?"
"No," Lin Chengbu said. After thinking about it, he quickly changed his mouth, "Yes."
"Can it or not?" Yuan Wu said.
"After the doctor says I don't vomit, eat some liquid food," Lin Chengbu said, "I want to eat millet porridge and egg custard..."
Yuan Wu looked at him and said nothing, then turned around and went out the door after a while: "Wait a moment."
"Are you going to buy it for me?" Lin Chengbu chased after him and couldn't help laughing. After a while, he whispered, "It would be nice to make something for me..."
Yuan Wu came back in a few minutes, with empty hands.
"Don't know where to buy it?" Lin Chengbu asked, "Just..."
"The doctor said you don't want to eat tonight." Yuan Wu said.
"Wh... I'm relying on it," Lin Chengbu was stunned and sat up, "Did you go to the doctor?"
"Well, I said how should the person with acute gastritis just eat, and people said to fast tonight," Yuan Wu narrowed his eyes, "Want to fool me?"
"...Then what am I," Lin Chengbu was a little unwilling, "then I'll be hospitalized tonight, and I have to eat it in the morning, millet porridge and egg custard."
"The doctor said that you should go home for observation, and just come in for an injection on time," Yuan Wu hooked the corners of his mouth, "You don't need to be hospitalized."
Lin Chengbu stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
"Huh?" Yuan Wu looked at him.
"I don't care!" Lin Chengbu fell back on the pillow, "You make me millet porridge and egg custard, if you don't make it, I won't be better! You can do it yourself!"
