Ye Fei is having troubles this Spring Festival.
As the plane was about to land and crossed the white and fluffy clouds, the fuselage was turbulent in the gust of wind. She had a headache and closed her eyes. When I opened my eyes again, the earth was covered with rich and vigorous green, and the white edge of the beach was bordered by the land and the sea. Ye Fei sighed and laughed mockingly. He said that he would never come to Singapore again. Unexpectedly, the two reunions with Chen Jiajun would be in this country.
She took the luggage and walked outside the gate, but did not see Chen Jiajun. There was a young man in formal wear, standing in a conspicuous position, holding up a sign with her name written on it.
Ye Fei was puzzled and walked to the other person: "Hello, I am Ye Fei. Excuse me, you are..."
The young man was polite and smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Li Haowen. Mr. Chen told me to pick you up."
Ye Fei blinked: "He didn't tell me."
At this moment, Li Haowen's cell phone rang.
"I'm sorry." He apologized politely and answered the phone, "Yes, I just received Miss Ye, so I'll go to the parking lot." Li Haowen responded to what the other party asked, and handed the phone over, "Miss Ye, Mr. Chen asks you to answer the phone."
Ye Fei was filled with doubts, so he answered the phone and asked, "Jia Jun?"
There was a second or two of silence on the other end of the phone, and he said, "Hello, is it Ye Fei?" The voice sounded seven or eight points similar to Chen Jiajun, but with a more pronounced Nanyang accent.
Ye Fei was taken aback.
"I'm Jia Jun's brother, Chen Jiacong." The other party paused, "It is not convenient for him to answer the phone now."
"Jia Jun, what's the matter with him...?" Ye Fei squeezed his phone and took a deep breath. "Some time ago, he told me that he would come to Singapore to help you with some things. But..."
"Let's talk about it when we meet." Chen Jiacong said, "You haven't had lunch yet? I can't go away now. Hao Wen will send you to your accommodation first, and we will talk in detail during lunch."
Ye Fei agreed mechanically. When returning the phone to Li Haowen, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know Mr. Chen's brother? Do you know where he is?"
Li Haowen shook his head: "I am mainly responsible for the reception and the itinerary of the distinguished guests. I am not very clear about Mr. Chen's other arrangements."
Ye Fei didn't ask any more. When she got off the plane, she dialed Chen Jiajun's cell phone, but no one answered.
Sitting in the car, all kinds of worries came to my heart. Many ominous thoughts had just taken off, and they were immediately pushed down by Ye Fei's head. Only with some wild thoughts, she dared to let herself imagine. She held her chin and thought, Chen Jiajun's family objected to the two of them, so they put him under house arrest, and then held her back, and sent him to the U.S., right? In that case, would she face the pressure of the other party, for example, if his eldest brother smashed one million face-to-face, it was still US dollars and asked her to break up with Chen Jiajun.
Ye Fei couldn't help but laughed, knowing in his heart that these were all self-deception. However, she didn't dare to refine the disturbing assumptions in her heart, and sweat leaked out of her palms.
The accommodation arranged for her is an apartment-style hotel, and the entrance is the living room and open kitchen. The bright marble countertops and milky white cabinets are clean and tidy, and the furniture styles are simple and generous. Ye Fei simply washed, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to meet Li Haowen.
As soon as Chen Jiacong appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, Ye Fei immediately recognized it. His face and posture are similar to those of Chen Jiajun, and his calm look and well-made suits make him more calm and determined, because he doesn't need to be exposed to the sun by the sea, and his complexion is much lighter than Chen Jiajun.
Ye Fei thought, it turns out that their family members are not as dark as him.
Chen Jiacong exchanged a simple greeting with her, and said straightforwardly: "You have worked so hard all the way, and I won't go around in circles anymore. Jiajun asks me three things. First, take you to Singapore."
Ye Fei thought of Chen Jiajun's call and said that he was in Singapore. Later, an office worker contacted her, and it only took two or three days before the Spring Festival to get the visa. She nodded and thanked: "Thank you Mr. Chen, the visa went well, and the airport pick-up and accommodation arrangements were very thoughtful."
"Yes, he rarely asks me for help." Chen Jiacong smiled politely, "Secondly, let me tell you what happened before."
The ones that should come will always come. Ye Fei clenched her fists secretly, her fingernails hurting her palms slightly: "Jia Jun... there is nothing dangerous, right?"
"There is no life-threatening situation, the situation is stable, and it will get better and better."
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, thank you for your arrangement, but Jia Jun promised me that he will tell me everything. I think it's better to talk to him directly."
"I said the same. But, he wants me to pave the way."
"Ok?"
"I'm afraid of myself, I can't handle it. And..." Chen Jiacong looked at his watch, "At this time, he should have just received treatment and needs rest... I heard Jiajun said that you helped in the dive shop, then, I probably know What is DCS (decompression sickness)?"
Ye Fei nodded.
"Forgive me for not knowing much about diving, and I am not a medical staff member. The explanation given may not be accurate enough. The day of the accident was December 26." Speaking of this time, Chen Jiacong smiled helplessly, "If it wasn't for four The guests from a year ago came back, and Jia Jun would not lead the team. That day, they had planned to do two dives, but it was over and they were back on the boat, but..."
He had a calm tone and came one by one. Ye Fei's face gradually stiffened: "Jia Jun, he really didn't tell me anything. I know that he has something to hide from me, and it must be tricky. But, I didn't expect..."
Chen Jiacong snorted softly: "Angry, right? I'm angry too. If it weren't for the doctor's insistence on contacting family members, I didn't even know that such a big thing had happened."
Ye Fei muran listened to Chen Jiacong's statement, and the words and sentences passed clearly through his ears, and they disappeared like a cloud of mist:
"They said that if you get sick on the island, the last place you want to go to is the hospital... The first few days are the worst... At first, the boundary is below the collarbone. The following are all numb, not completely unconscious. It’s like taking anesthetics... I can’t speak clearly and I’m tired every time I breathe... Because of spinal shock, the blood pressure is very low, between 20 and 50. You can’t sit up, otherwise you’ll get dizzy... You need intravenous injections to replenish nutrients... Take it every day Compression therapy often causes vomiting... Almost all of them are deaf a few hours after coming out of the pressure chamber... The condition has improved, and the line of paralysis has been going down. You can stand up with a cane and walk slowly.
"The doctor said that the spinal cord nerve damage is permanent. It's like that part of the nerve cell is shot, and the dead nerve cells cannot be regenerated. Fortunately, the nerve conduction pathway is not completely broken. The recovery process is equivalent to the original path. If you can’t get through, you need to build a new pathway for nerve conduction. The good news is that in terms of physical conditions, the worst stage has passed. The bad news is that it can be completely recovered is unknown. Even if it can, the process will be. Very long."
Chen Jiacong said slowly: "Only time can heal."
Ye Fei didn't dare to look at Chen Jiacong. She lowered her eyes and fixedly stared at the delicate white porcelain plate in front of her. Every word he said seemed to be cut in his heart. She bit her lip tightly and her chest was so tight that she couldn't breathe: "I... don't want to eat anymore. Can now..." She said a few words, and when she let go, tears poured in her eyes and her eyes were blurred. Ye Fei quickly turned around: "I'm sorry, I..." She raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face.
The knife and fork in front of Chen Jiacong did not move: "Slowly, I will ask Hao Wen to take you there. If you need it, tell him directly."
In the car to the hospital, Ye Fei's mind became a mess. Never thought that he suffered such a huge change. When he was suffering every day and night, he was not by his side. Why, I believe that he can deal with everything, why didn’t he ask in the end
The car drove into the hospital. Ye Fei asked about the location of Chen Jiajun's ward, and said to Li Haowen: "I'm causing you trouble, let me go by myself."
Li Haowen sent her to the intersection: "Okay, call me if I have something to do. I will take you back tonight."
Ye Fei took a deep breath and walked through the garden of the hospitalization area towards the entrance of the building. The gravel road on the lawn twists and turns, the roadside is blooming with pink and purple bougainvillea, and there is a row of tall palm trees in front of the building. She suddenly became nervous, stopped, turned back and turned back. Not long ago, in this city, their hotel room was facing the palm courtyard. The two people untie the knot, and for a moment they feel that the sky is high and the earth is wide, and the road ahead is a bright and open path. Who would have thought that the future submerged reefs and shoals would be hidden under the calm water surface.
Is he too naive, or is his fate too cruel? Ye Fei touched the rough trunk of the palm tree, squatted down in the corner of the garden, and cried aggrievedly.
There was a roar in Chen Jiajun's ears, and every time he came out of the pressure chamber, he seemed to be deaf for a period of time. He received a text message saying that Ye Fei was already on the way. He shook his wheelchair and came to the window, just in time to see the only way in the garden. Then he saw his girl and walked with a blank face and bowing her head without squinting. He didn't want Ye Fei to see his appearance, so he leaned on the window sill, struggled to stand up, swayed his wheelchair aside, leaned against the window, and looked at her quietly.
However, Ye Fei did not come in. She walked back to the original road, squatting behind the flower tree in the corner, her shoulders shrugging slightly. She thought she was hiding well and would not be discovered by passers-by, but she looked out from the ward on the third floor with a clear view.
Chen Jiajun leaned against the window frame with his hands on the edge of the window sill, watching Ye Fei silently, feeling his arms trembling slightly.
I don't know how long it took, the door was gently pushed open, she tilted her body, probed in, her eyes crooked, and said something.
Chen Jiajun didn’t hear her clearly. Looking at her mouth, she was probably saying: “I’m coming.” Then she watched her close the door, turned and ran over quickly, before him hurriedly stopped, as if he was afraid of knocking him down. . She opened her arms, wrapped tightly around his waist, and looked straight into his eyes.
Ye Fei curled his mouth: "If you have caused such a big trouble, don't tell me. Don't you want to see me?"
She spoke quickly, but Chen Jiajun didn't hear clearly in a daze. He lowered his head and looked at his little girlfriend carefully. His eyes were crooked with a smile, but his eyelids were swollen, the corners of his mouth were crooked, but his nose was red. He couldn't help lowering his head and kissed her eyes, the salty, sea-like taste.
Ye Fei was still talking about something, for a while, she couldn't force a smile anymore, tears welled up again. She stood on tiptoe, kissed Chen Jiajun's lips fiercely, closed her eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks, and slid into the mouths of two people, it was salty.
Chen Jiajun couldn't stand firmly, and the weight of his body gradually pressed on Ye Fei's shoulders. She supported him, walked to the bed, and helped him to sit down. Chen Jiajun held her waist, looked up at her, smiled and said, "You are here."
He was a lot thinner, his eyes were deeper, and he could even laugh. Ye Fei's heart suddenly burst into flames, and while holding down Chen Jiajun's shoulders, the two fell on the bed together. He was still smiling: "Hey, I was so enthusiastic when I came."
Ye Fei sat up, pinched his neck with both hands, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, pausing every word. This time he vaguely heard what she was talking about. Ye Fei said: "Chen Jiajun, I hate you to death!"
He bends the corner of his mouth and pats Ye Fei's back with a clear look on his chest: "I know." He coughed twice as he spoke.
Ye Fei didn't use any force in his hand, but was still taken aback, and quickly retracted his hand. Chen Jiajun was lying halfway on the edge of the bed, his legs still hanging under the edge of the bed, and his posture looked uncomfortable. Ye Fei propped up his body and wanted to stand up. He saw her intention, took her back, and drew in his arms: "It's okay, don't move."
Ye Fei was pulled by Chen Jiajun and hugged him. Her head was buried on the pillow, and his cheeks were pressed against his cheeks, and his breath was warm and familiar. On the side of Ye Fei's face, Chen Jiajun's head also turned, and the two looked for each other's lips and kissed each other softly, as if they could keep kissing like this.
Ye Fei rubbed back, saw all of his face, and looked at it carefully. Chen Jiajun's hair is very short, probably shaved, and a velvety layer has just grown, and his face has lost a lot of weight, like an ascetic monk. Ye Fei's fingers rubbed his face a little bit, and he ran his brow bones, nose and cheeks, his heart was sour, and the corners of his mouth drooped.
"Before I really thought about whether something happened to you, for example, a car accident, or a sudden illness. But I didn't dare to think about it, for fear that I would scare myself." She murmured, "I choose to believe you. .Because you said that I am the person closest to you. But why do you always let me know about this kind of thing?"
Ye Fei's voice was low, and Chen Jiajun was a little confused. He raised his hand and grasped Ye Fei's finger, holding it in his palm. She pulled his hand over, turned over and looked at it, squeezing his finger. Chen Jiajun moved, indicating that the function of her hands had begun to recover.
Ye Fei massaged his fingers: "I heard Brother Jiacong said that his arm was also stiff at the beginning. How did you do those calls and online chats? Isn't it very hard?"
Chen Jiajun listened vaguely, catching a few words intermittently. "I'm much better," he said, "if possible, I want you to come later."
"If possible, don't see me at all, right?" Ye Fei snorted, looking at Chen Jiajun with a dazed look, and sighed, "Forget it, you can't hear you now. Let's talk about it later."
He did not answer.
She stared into his eyes, paused every word, and said loudly, "Say it later."
Ye Fei stood up, helped Chen Jiajun to adjust his body, and lay down in a comfortable position: "The nurse said that you just finished the treatment and need a good rest. I said it's your girlfriend. You will be happier and more relaxed with me. She just let me in.” She said, pulling the pillow, which happened to be under Chen Jiajun’s head and neck, “This way, is it okay, uncomfortable?”
The second half of the sentence raised the volume, he heard it, and pulled Ye Fei over. She lay down beside him, carefully not to squeeze him. Chen Jiajun wrapped her waist: "This is more comfortable."
Ye Fei punched his chest and laughed.
Chen Jiajun asked: "The red-eye flight again?"
Ye Fei nodded: "Yeah."
"Let's sleep together for a while."
"it is good."
"Come closer, don't be so nervous." He stroked Ye Fei's arm, "Don't worry, you can't squeeze me."
Ye Fei nudged forward and got into his arms. She was very tired. Although there were still many complicated thoughts in her mind, seeing Chen Jiajun at the moment, she finally relaxed temporarily, pillowed on his shoulder, and soon fell asleep in a deep sleep.
Chen Jiajun lowered his eyes, looking at her tired and peaceful sleeping face, his heart was full of pity and reluctance. Maybe in the future, the smile on her face will become less and less, and her haggard will become deeper and deeper. He didn't want to see Ye Fei like that. This quiet and beautiful afternoon, Quan should be his last greed. Thinking of this, he tightened his arms, circled Ye Fei in his arms, kissed gently between her eyebrows, closed his eyes, the sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains, and the room was covered with a gentle warm yellow.
When Ye Fei woke up, the sun had turned away from the window and the room was dark. With sleepy eyes, she barely opened her eyes to meet Chen Jiajun's gaze. He looked over attentively, his pupils were clear and in a trance, everything seemed to be the same as before. He asked: "Wake up? Do you want to wash your face, let's go eat."
Ye Fei felt so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back: "Okay. How are you, can you hear me clearly?"
"Yes. Much better."
"What happened just now?"
Chen Jiajun explained: “Stay in the high-pressure environment in the pressure chamber for a long time, just like some people have tinnitus when landing on a plane.”
Ye Fei distressed: "Every time?"
"Most of the time I will." He smiled, "But every day I still look forward to entering the pressure chamber."
"why?"
"The nurse is beautiful."
