Before leaving, Aunt Lu was afraid that he would be bored waiting, so she specifically turned on the TV.
The news broadcast is playing above. It is the Spring Festival, and the whole world is a festive scene. A very light tapping sound came from the glass jar in the corner at the right time. Lu Shang smiled lightly, turned the wheelchair around, and gropedly pressed the feeding button.
These two little things were cultivated by him, and when they were hungry, they even knew that they would scratch the tank. Whenever Lu Shang heard the sound, he knew that they were starving again. This tortoise also enjoys happiness. It eats all day long. When it is full, it shrinks its limbs and head into the turtle shell, and starts to sleep soundly without worrying about anything. After raising them for so long, they didn't grow very long, and they ate a lot. Sometimes one meal of meat a day wasn't enough.
Lu Shang felt that he was really unsuitable for raising animals. The big tortoise in his family became a hungry wolf, but the little tortoise became a lazy pig.
After feeding the turtle, Lu Shang put his hand on his temple and pressed it. I wonder if he had been in the heated room for a long time. He gradually felt dizzy, and was about to reach out to open the window when his heart suddenly contracted.
His movements were stagnant for a second, before the word "bad" popped out of his mind before it was replaced by a sharp pain. In an instant, all the blood in his body seemed to be boiled, and his heart was like a runaway train, brute force to break free from the control of the body, and screamed wildly. Lu Shang couldn't hold back the pain, he suddenly leaned over and let out an unbearable groan. He lost his strength and fell onto the carpet, curled up in pain.
The surroundings were heavy, intertwined with dizziness, and countless voices rang in his ears at the same time. Lu Shang's eyes lost focus, and he felt as if he was buried alive. It struggled to snatch oxygen from the crevices.
Countless images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. At that moment, Lu Shang was in the chaos, and he clearly felt that a person was standing in a corner not far away, holding the scythe of the god of death and looking expressionlessly. follow him.
"No... Not yet..." He clenched his hands, struggled to climb to the table following his memory, tried his best to open the drawer, and pulled out a needleless syringe.
The action took almost all his strength, and he gasped for breath, with shaking hands, he aimed the syringe at the vein with his last breath, and pressed it down desperately.
The out-of-control train driver appears to have been shot at the same time, tragically dying under the wheel. The effect of the medicine worked quickly, Lu Shang threw the syringe, curled up on the ground, and let the medicine spread in his body.
The whole process continued and quickly. I don't know how long it took, the roar in my ears gradually subsided and was replaced by the voice of the news anchor. Lu Shang opened his eyes weakly, and the empty living room echoed with high singing and dancing. , there was a faint light in front of him, and he also recovered a little vision.
The singing in his ears was accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, full of joy and joy. It seems that everyone in this city is celebrating the New Year. Lu Shang listened to the sound, but his eyes were a little red for some reason.
There is a dark road. He once walked alone for many years. He was not afraid of the dark, nor was he afraid of falling. At that time, he had nothing to worry about. Later, a boy appeared next to him and tried to support him with clumsy hands. At first, he was just curious to see what the child could look like. For seven full years, it was as if someone lit a lamp for him behind him and pushed him along the way. If he hadn't been sensed by the pain of dying, he would have almost forgotten that in this world, there is no other way. The long road will eventually come to an end.
Before the news broadcast was over, Lu Shang lay on the ground for a while, and when the pain was subdued, he sat up sweating profusely, leaning on the feet of the table and slowing down. In just a quarter of an hour, his clothes were soaked with sweat, the ground was in a mess, and the cotton balls and gauze in the medicine box were rummaged everywhere in a hurry.
It was very quiet outside, and the snow was still falling. Pieces of it were blown off the glass windows, and then quickly melted, converging into water droplets that flowed down the river. The dishes on the table were quietly placed, the small hot pot was bubbling hot, and in the corner, two turtles were still feasting on a piece of raw meat. Lu Shang looked at everything he was familiar with, and his heart gradually became quiet.
His legs regained a little strength, he slowly got up and cleaned the ground, went back to the bedroom to change clothes, and started to call Li Sui.
"When will you be back?" He tried to keep his voice inaudible.
"Are you in a hurry? Sorry, I just got off the expressway and I'll be home in half an hour."
Lu Shang squeezed the palm of his hand, with a layer of sweat on it: "...I just knocked over the medicine bottle."
"What's the matter? Are you hurt?" Li Sui asked anxiously.
"No, but the medicine was accidentally soiled."
"It's okay, I'll go buy it now, you wait for me." Li Sui comforted.
Lu Shang listened, and felt his heart churning: "Li Sui, I..."
"What's wrong?"
"...It's okay, go home early."
Lu Shang hung up the phone and felt a strong sore nose. He endured the soreness for a long time, and then called Uncle Yuan.
Uncle Yuan was going back to his hometown today. When Lu Shang called him, he was waiting at the airport. When he received the call, he came without saying a word.
When he entered the room, Lu Shang was writing something in front of his desk, writing and stopping, his expression looked a little dazed, and his eyes were a little red. He has been with Lu Shang for so many years, and he has never seen him like this, and an ominous premonition arises in his heart.
When Lu Shang saw him, he did not restrain the expression on his face. He folded the writing on his hand and handed it over: "Contact the notary office to have a notarization."
Uncle Yuan took it: "This is..."
Lu Shang didn't answer.
Yuan Shu faintly guessed what was written on the piece of paper in his hand, and he felt that it was heavy and almost unsteady.
"Uncle Yuan, thank you for these years." Lu Shang whispered, not looking at him.
Uncle Yuan turned his head slowly, only a table lamp was lit in the room, Lu Shang was completely hidden in the darkness, only a thin shoulder was exposed, so thin that it seemed to disappear at any time.
Li Sui came back a little later than expected. It was New Year's, and there were only doctors on duty in the hospital, but there were more stranded patients than usual. Lu Shang's medicine could not be bought outside, so he had to wait a little longer.
When he got home, Lu Shang was lighting candles in front of the dining table. Li Sui was very happy when he saw his clear eyes. He grabbed his hand and refused to let it go: "Can you see it?"
Lu Shang nodded with a chuckle, his face as usual.
After running for a day, Li Sui was starving, and Lu Shang couldn't eat his meal, so he sat next to him and watched him eat while serving him vegetables.
It was rare for the two of them to have such an intimate meal. Li Sui smoked a few roses that bloomed the brightest and sent them to him, joking in a meaningful way: "This flower is really suitable for a marriage proposal."
Lu Shang was stunned for a moment, and reached out to take it.
Li Sui was a little shy, and scratched his palm with a finger: "You...will you marry me?"
Lu Shang was a little uncomfortable by what he said. He endured it and tried to squeeze a smile: "Are you proposing?"
"Of course not, a marriage proposal is so important, how can it be so casual," Li Sui squeezed his hand, bowed his head and kissed the back of his hand, "I want you to give me a thorough first, we have been together for five years, Can I correct it?"
Lu Shang looked at Li Sui's pious and longing eyes. At that moment, his heart loosened, and he almost made it clear, but he tried his best to hold back the words. Although it was Lu Shang's own decision to undergo surgery, there was a 10% chance. To be honest, he had no idea at all. If he really had that kind of luck, let alone a marriage certificate, even if Li Sui wanted the stars in the sky, he would still be able to get there. Buy a spaceship in a second, but if you don't...
Lu Shang packed up his emotions, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Another year of inspection."
After Li Sui heard this, his eyes lit up. He was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands. It took him a long time to pounce on him. He took Lu Shang into his arms, kissed the back of his neck and said excitedly, "You said that, but Can't go back."
Lu Shang closed his eyes, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and said astringently, "I don't regret it."
After dinner, the two discussed the company's affairs again. Li Sui told Lu Shang about what he had gained from running around in the past few days, and got a lot of advice.
"More funds can be used in the future," Lu Shang cut a piece of cake and handed it to Li Sui, "I asked Yan Ke to find a few good partners in Japan, and we have already negotiated, you will be early tomorrow morning. , bring someone over to sign the contract."
"Tomorrow?" Li Sui held the fork for a while, but he didn't refuse, but full of reluctance and reluctance were written on his face.
Lu Shang looked at him and said with a ruthless heart: "You are a big man. When you should be busy with your career, you should be busy with your business. Don't always stick to me."
The words were a little heavy, and sure enough, Li Sui lowered his head and stopped talking, his expression looked very hurt.
Lu Shang felt a pain in his liver when he saw it, grabbed his hand under the table, squeezed it, and coaxed, "Just a week."
In the evening, the two of them took a bath together, watching the arrival of midnight, Li Sui ran for a day, obviously tired and dozing all the time, but Lu Shang didn't feel sleepy because of the drugs. When Li Sui fell asleep, he sat up slightly and combed his hair over and over with his fingers, the reluctance and love in his eyes were unmistakable.
Even when Li Sui fell asleep, he always wrapped him in his arms, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Lu Shang once thought he was insecure, but he gradually discovered that Li Sui actually used this method to judge him. Whether his heartbeat and body temperature are normal, fortunately, when he is unwell at night, he can detect it at the first time. With such a mind, he will probably never encounter a second one in his life.
Just a little longer, just a little longer, Lu Shang thought.
The next day, Li Sui got up early, counted out the pills Lu Shang would take every day, packed it in a small bottle, and put it into his close-fitting clothes.
"This large square bottle is eaten at noon, the small square bottle is eaten at night, the round bottle and the spray are for emergency use," Li Sui told them one by one, almost a hundred thousand worried, "Don't take the watch on your hand. Come down, press the first button to call me directly, don't worry about the time, I will answer any time you call... "
As Li Sui spoke, he suddenly remembered when he first arrived at Lu's house many years ago. At that time, Lu Shang was like that. He told him all kinds of advice and told him what to do if he was thirsty, hungry, and injured. Now there is no time. Rewinding the flow, their positions were reversed.
"I've already booked an itinerary. When I get back, we'll go on a tropical vacation." Li Sui said.
Lu Shang rarely responded to him, he only coughed twice, and urged, "Come on, you won't be able to catch the plane."
Li Sui never felt that leaving home was such a difficult thing. He changed his shoes at the door and turned back frequently. After the night passed, Lu Shang's vision was already very weak, and he vaguely saw Li Sui standing in the backlight at the door, and said to him reluctantly, "Then I'm leaving."
The light was a bit dazzling, and Lu Shang looked at him, lost for two seconds: "... um."
When Li Sui came out of the door, he reacted and called out "Li Sui".
Li Sui immediately turned around and waited for him to speak.
The eagerness on Lu Shang's face quickly faded, and he put on a faint smile: "Take care of yourself."
Li Sui nodded, stared at Lu Shang, and left hesitantly.
When Li Sui's car finally drove out of the yard, Lu Shang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he couldn't hold it any longer, he fell to the ground with all his strength. There was a sudden crash of chairs in the empty living room, and the world was spinning. He heard Uncle Yuan rushing in from the yard, and Aunt Lu also ran out of the kitchen, screaming "ambulance ambulance".
There was a lot of noise all around, and it seemed that a lot of people were coming. Lu Shang suddenly woke up and fell asleep, his consciousness drifted far away, and he felt that he was being pushed away by someone on the stretcher bed. Opening his eyes, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Uncle Yuan's sleeve. The corners of his mouth opened and closed weakly: "Uncle Yuan... That child... I'll leave it to you... "
After saying this, he seemed to get his wish, and his bony wrists completely drooped.
It snowed again, Uncle Yuan stood in the yard, watching Lu Shang was put into an ambulance by a group of people, with mixed feelings in his heart. He remembered that there was a similar scene many years ago. It was also in this yard, and it was also the Lu family. Lu Shang's father said to him, "My son is in your hands." He said this and never came back.
For the sake of simplicity, Li Sui only brought one financial officer, Xiao Tang and another male salesman, Xiao Lin. The three of them landed at the airport and waited for a while before the car came. Xiao Tang called the receptionist, who kept apologizing, saying that the car that came to pick them up broke down on the road and asked them to wait.
After hearing this, Li Sui felt anxious for some reason, and walked in and out of the lounge restlessly.
"Director Li, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolin asked.
Li Sui frowned, also aware of his strangeness, and shook his head: "I don't know, I always feel uneasy."
Xiao Lin was a little superstitious. Hearing what he said, he was immediately infected and became suspicious. But Xiao Tang screamed at this moment, startling the two of them.
"What's the matter with you, what are you doing?"
Xiao Tang turned over and over in the bag, his face turned pale: "I... I forgot to bring my official seal... "
When Xiao Lin heard this, his eyes widened: "You're not mistaken, we just came to stamp, you don't even bring the seal, what are we doing here?"
Xiao Tang was about to cry: "I, I put it in my bag when I left! I don't know how..."
The anxiety in Li Sui's heart suddenly became even worse, and he always felt that something was rushing him back. Overhead, the boarding notices were playing non-stop on the radio, making people feel a sense of tension. In the waiting room where people came and went, Li Sui remembered what Lu Shang had said inadvertently last night, as well as the few words he heard in his sleep, and felt more and more uneasy.
"What should I do?" Xiao Tang stomped his feet in a hurry.
"Go and book a flight back." Li Sui stood up suddenly and said solemnly.
"Go back?" Xiao Lin was incredulous. "It's inconvenient for her to be a girl, why don't I go back and get it?"
Li Sui turned around, his voice was extremely cold: "Book me the nearest flight, I want to go back, you two stay here."
"Huh?" Both of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
