This is the most peaceful sleep I have had since coming to Japan. It's probably because deep down in my heart, I feel that Ji Guanxin's illness will be cured and he will have a better life from now on. I will also meet someone who is more suitable for him than me, and I won’t have to feel guilty anymore.
I was in a good mood, and Luo Xiangdong was naturally happy too. Because we went to bed early at night, we woke up just after eight o'clock the next day. After tidying up a bit. Feeling refreshed, he went to the hospital to visit Ji Guanxin.
After a few days of gloom and gloom, everyone's faces now bear the joy of surviving the disaster. Even Ji Guanning and Zhou Mengyi no longer have a sullen attitude toward me.
A group of us were allowed to visit iuc, but we were separated by a thick glass wall. Professor Ando said. After Ji Guanxin wakes up. You can give us fifteen minutes to chat.
For these hard-earned fifteen minutes, we stood for almost three hours through the glass, and Ji Guanxin finally arrived just after 11:30 noon. Slowly opened his eyes.
Professor Ando came up to Ji Guanxin and seemed to say something to him. Ji Guanxin nodded his head invisibly. Professor Ando turned around and nodded to the doctor behind him. A doctor opened the door. He let us in and said aloud: "Try to stay quiet and control your emotions. Don't put pressure on the patient."
Ji Guanxin's parents were supported by their two sons and daughter-in-law. The first to bear the brunt were Ji Guanning and Zhou Mengyi, followed by Ji Guanxin’s friends. Luo Xiangdong had no intention of taking the lead, so we stood behind everyone.
Ji Guanxin's mother sat on the chair beside the hospital bed and said to Ji Guanxin with distressed eyes: "Guanxin, what do you think?"
Ji Guanxin seemed to be trying hard to make a smiling expression, but unfortunately he couldn't control his body, so he could only nod lightly.
At this time, words were not as important as Ji Guanxin's survival, so the group of people did not say anything and could only look at the sick Ji Guanxin with distressed eyes. After just one operation and three days of coma, Ji Guanxin's whole body seemed to have been slimmed down, and blue-purple capillaries were faintly visible under his pale skin.
Ji Guanxin's right hand was dripping, so Ji Guanning gently held his left hand, tried hard to suppress the tears in his eyes, and said softly: "Third brother, I will listen to you from now on, and I will never make you angry again."
Ji Guanxin moved his fingers slightly, and his lowered eyes fell on the stone bracelet on his wrist.
When Ji Guanning saw this, he had no choice but to look back at Luo Xiangdong and I, who were standing inconspicuously at the end of the crowd.
She said: "It was given by Liang Zijin, and my mother put it on for you herself."
Ji Guanxin raised his big and long eyes, looking through the crowd and landing on me. Just at this glance, the sourness in my heart surged up, but I held it back and gave him a big smile in return.
I had prepared myself mentally before coming here today. If I don’t cry, I won’t shed tears in front of Ji Guanxin, because he has been reborn.
Luo Xiangdong stood next to me, and he took the initiative to say to me: "Go and see him."
I walked to the bedside, and Ji Guanning stood up and gave me her seat. After I sat down, I looked at Ji Guanxin right in front of me and asked with a smile: "I can no longer scare people with heart disease. How do you feel about it?"
When Ji Guan said this, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and his eyes were full of pride.
I added, "Do you still remember the three-chapter agreement we made?"
He nodded slightly.
I said: "You have breached the contract in the first two chapters. Now I will mention the third chapter to you. Can you do it?"
Ji Guanxin didn't say anything, and just used his eyes to signal me to speak first.
The smile on my face is as bright as the sourness and distress in my heart. But I didn’t shed a single tear. Being able to endure it was the best of my life.
I looked at Ji Guanxin and said, "In the last chapter, I want you to promise me that you will do well in the future."
At the cemetery, Ji Guan and I made three chapters of the New Testament. First, he can no longer joke with me about life and death; second, he can no longer lie to me.
In the previous two chapters, he broke the contract. But in this last chapter, I looked at Ji Guanxin, and he looked at me.
It seemed like three seconds, it seemed like five seconds, or even longer. Ji Guanxin nodded to me. Although there was reluctance in his eyes, he was more confident and arrogant.
I opened my mouth and took a deep breath, trying to relieve the pain in my heart and throat. I said to Ji Guanxin: "You should take good care of yourself. When you recover, you can eat chicken and drink wine. I don't know if the food in Japan is not to your taste. Why don't I ask my mother to give it to you from Liangcheng tomorrow?" Deliver the old fisherman’s iron pot chicken to your heart’s content.”
Ji Guanxin also wore an oxygen mask on his face. As he breathed, the mask was often filled with water mist.
His eyes can talk, sometimes smiling and sometimes narrowing, so I don't worry about communication problems with him at all, and I have even made up my mind about what he will say in response.
I talked for two or three minutes by myself. I didn’t want to waste other people’s time, so I said to Ji Guanxin, “When you get better, I’ll come and chat with you.”
I stood up, and Ji Guanxin glanced at Luo Xiangdong, who was a few steps behind me.
Seeing this, I also looked back at Luo Xiangdong. Luo Xiangdong walked over as if there was no one around and stood beside me. He looked down at the sick Ji Guanxin, opened his thin lips and said, "You have something to tell me?"
Ji Guanxin lowered his eyes and glanced at the stone bracelet on his wrist. When he raised his head to look at Luo Xiangdong, his eyes were full of provocation.
When Luo Xiangdong saw this, he took out his right hand from his windbreaker pocket. His bracelet has a pendant, so the stones are exposed at once.
Luo Xiangdong said: "What are you showing off for? I have it too."
Although Ji Guanxin cannot speak, his eyes can still be used. Seeing this, he immediately rolled his eyes.
I was sandwiched between the two of them, really dumbfounded. How long has it been since this happened and they are still so childish
Looking at Ji Guanxin, I said, "Yours is better than his. You were consecrated by Todaiji Temple and are still alive."
Ji Guanxin pointed to the one on Luo Xiangdong's hand with his eyes. I said lightly, "Oh," and then said, "His one is just an ordinary stone. I picked it up randomly on the ground."
This time, Ji Guanxin finally smiled. The corners of his lips behind the oxygen mask were raised, looking a little unreal under the looming mist.
I stood up, smiled and said, "You talk to your family for a while, and I'll come see you tomorrow."
After I finished speaking, Ji Guanxin actually moved his fingers. He wanted to raise his hand, but he couldn't lift his arm.
I immediately said: "What do you want to do? Tell me, I will help you."
Ji Guanxin wanted to speak, and the lips behind the mask opened slightly.
Professor Ando was also in the ICU. Seeing this, a group of people looked at him nervously. He walked to the bedside and helped Ji Guanxin lift the oxygen mask.
Ji Guanxin's breathing immediately became heavy and rapid. I quickly leaned over and put my ear to him. Ji Guanxin said in a very soft voice: "Go back with him..."
I glanced at Ji Guanxin. His Adam's apple was twitching slightly, but I remember the look in his eyes clearly.
I know what he means. He wants me to go back to Night City with Luo Xiangdong.
My throat was so tight that it hurt. I opened my eyes wide and said with a smile, "It's okay. We'll stay with you here for a few days."
Ji Guanxin said in a very soft voice: "Go back... When I'm ready, I'll call you."
I couldn't bear to let Ji Guanxin say too many words, so I could only nod: "Okay."
Professor Ando put the oxygen mask on Ji Guanxin again, and then said to everyone in Japanese: "Don't let the patient talk too much. The most important thing for him now is to rest."
Ji Guanxin had only opened his eyes for a few minutes, but after saying these two sentences to me, his eyelids began to droop slightly again, showing obvious fatigue.
I looked at him and said, "You can take care of yourself with peace of mind. We'll come see you in a few days."
Ji Guanxin winked at me, and I left the remaining time to others. After bidding farewell to Ji Guanxin, I went out of the iuc with Luo Xiangdong.
Outside the door, Luo Xiangdong looked at me and said, "You performed well, you didn't even cry."
I opened my reddish eyes, tried my best to smile and said, "I promise you I won't cry again."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me with distressed eyes. After a few seconds, he said, "It doesn't matter if you want to stay in Japan for a few more days."
I shook my head: "No need. The doctors and family members will take good care of him here. We have been in Japan for a few days and it's time to go back."
Luo Xiangdong responded, and then said: "Then I'll call Guan Yue to book the tickets. You can say hello to the Ji family later."
Luo Xiangdong turned around and was about to leave. I called him "Hey" and he turned back to look at me. I said, "Don't ask Guan Yue to book a ticket. Now that uncle has imposed economic sanctions on you, he will not let you leave casually anymore." The company's finances. If you ask Guan Yue to order, Guan Yue won't dare to say anything. Most of the time, I will pay for it myself. "
After that, without waiting for Luo Xiangdong's answer, I added another sentence: "We are now in a time of shared adversity. Don't tell me that you will solve it. Don't say that I am unhappy."
After I finished speaking, Luo Xiangdong raised the corners of his lips and said to me: "What I want to say is that since we are paying for it ourselves, let's not take first class. I'll save you some money and take business class."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "If you want to save money, just save it. Why didn't you say take economy class?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I don't care."
I said, "Then it doesn't matter to me."
While the two of us were talking in the corridor, Ji Guanning opened the door and came out. The three of us looked at each other, and Ji Guanning took the initiative to say, "Are you going back to Night City?"
I responded and said, "Let your brother take care of him for a few days. When he gets better, we will come over to see him then."
Ji Guanning said: "Thank you for coming."
I said, "You're welcome, we are all friends."
Ji Guanning took a breath, and then said meaningfully: "I called you originally because I was angry that you were with Luo Xiangdong, and secondly I wanted to see if you would come if you knew my brother was sick."
Neither Luo Xiangdong nor I answered. After a few seconds, Ji Guanning smiled helplessly and said to himself: "Not only was Luo Xiangdong not angry, but he also came with you. I was really surprised. But..."
She looked at me and said: "Perhaps it is most suitable for you to be together. My brother and I wish you well. When you get married, don't forget to send more invitations."
Luo Xiangdong said: "When the time comes, each person will receive a red envelope. Don't just follow the gang and bring the whole family."
Hearing this, Ji Guanning looked up at Luo Xiangdong and said, "When did you become so stingy?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "There is no way. Now I have to support my wife and still have to live, so I have to plan carefully."
