Drunk, as expected.
Bian Nan knew Wan Fei was paying the bill, so he carried him out of the restaurant, dragged him to the side of the road, and took three taxis. Only one driver let them get in the car after Wan Fei promised to throw him out of the car if he wanted to vomit. After driving downstairs to Wan Fei's house, Wan Fei carried him upstairs, entered the house, talked to Wan Fei's mother, and then took him into the house and threw him on the bed...
He knew all this clearly, but no matter what he said, he couldn't stand up, and his feet would slip when they touched the ground.
"Brother Nan," Wan Fei wiped his face with a hot towel, "Do you want to vomit? I'll get you a basin, if you want to vomit on my bed, I'll whip you."
"Long trip... I'm sorry for you." Bian Nan frowned and muttered indistinctly.
"Do you want to call Qiu Yi?" Wan Fei asked again, pulling him to sit up and tearing off his clothes.
"No," Bian Nan fell back on the pillow, closed his eyes and felt as if he was tied to a high-speed spinning ball, "don't bother me, I want to sleep."
What Wan Fei said later, he couldn't remember clearly, and he fell asleep on the pillow not long after, spinning around.
I didn't dream all night, I just felt that I was thinking about things all the time, thinking about those words of Qiu's father, thinking about those words of Qiu Yi, and I didn't even feel that I had slept all night.
When Wan Fei got up in the morning, the bed shook, and Bian Nan opened his eyes.
"What time is it?" he asked.
"Six thirty," Wan Fei leaned over and stared at his face, "You don't look very good, go to sleep a little longer, I'm going to work, can I ask for a vacation for you?"
Wan Fei's mother wanted him to be admitted to the Physical Education Institute, but Wan Fei collapsed after reading the book for half a month at home. He went to work as a coach in the gym of a brother who graduated two years ago, and he was quite active every day.
"No need," Bian Nan rubbed his forehead and sat up, took the clothes thrown on the bed and put them on, "I'm going to work too."
"Are you kidding?" Wan Fei frowned, "Do you know the color on your face?"
"It's black, I didn't do it in vain anyway," Bian Nan stood up and put on his pants, "Find me a toothbrush."
"Fuck," Wan Fei was stunned, turned around and left, "Crazy."
After Bian Nan washed up, Wan Fei's mother just finished baking pancakes, so he grabbed two and went outside.
"Bian Nan, you drank like that yesterday, should you sleep more and rest today?" Wan Fei's mother called him worriedly.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I look scary, but I probably only drank a drink or two." Bian Nan bit the cake and put on his coat, and said vaguely, "I asked for a day off yesterday, and I will ask for it again today." It’s hard to say, the internship period will be over soon.”
"Then... another cup of soy milk." Wan Fei's mother brought him a cup of hot soy milk.
"Thank you, auntie. I'll come back in two days and make pancakes for me." Bian Nan laughed twice.
"Okay!" Wan Fei's mother smiled and patted his arm.
The soles of my feet are still a little weak, but my mental state is surprisingly good. I don't know if it's a side effect of alcohol or because something happened suddenly.
Bian Nan felt that somehow his eyes were shining brightly.
When he arrived at the stadium, Gu Wei stared at him for a long time: "You are..."
"Okay," Bian Nan gritted his teeth, "Am I beautiful?"
"It's so beautiful," Gu Wei sighed, "Are you sick? It's okay to take another day off. I'll definitely write you a good word for the internship appraisal."
"Thank you Brother Wei," Bian Nan smiled, "Just write me the truth, it should be good words."
"I'm quite confident," Gu Wei glanced at him, "It's very busy today, the queue is full, and there are still a few new applicants coming in the morning, so go and receive them."
"Okay." Bian Nan nodded.
Today is indeed a busy day. Bian Nan ate half of his lunch and ran out to receive a new student.
In the afternoon, Gu Wei assigned all the new students to him, and asked him to take them alone first. A few girls came together, laughing and joking while practicing, and the progress was quite slow.
It was the first time to show that the high-quality service did not control the time too much. When Bian Nan finished their content with great difficulty, he checked the time. It was nearly an hour longer than Gu Wei's planned time, and he could go off work directly.
"You should prepare for the past few days. After the internship is over, there will be an entry assessment next week," Gu Wei explained to him while changing clothes, "You should read more information, and go through the usual work process again, so you don't make mistakes."
"Understood." Bian Nan said.
It feels like I haven't returned to Yang Xu's house after get off work for a long time, and I run to Qiu Yi's house every day after get off work.
However, Bian Nan still didn't go to Yang Xu's house when he got off work today, and rode his bicycle straight to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, he checked the time. At this moment, Qiu Yi and Qiu Yan should be eating with Qiu's father in the ward. He locked his bicycle and stood by the roadside for a while. He estimated that it was almost time before entering the hospital.
When he walked outside the inpatient department, Qiu Yi came out from the lobby on the first floor, walked forward with his head down, and didn't see him.
Bian Nan stood in the middle of the road, Qiu Yi kept his head down and walked in front of him, then suddenly stopped and raised his head.
"Where are you going?" Bian Nan asked.
Seeing that he was obviously a little surprised, Qiu Yi paused before saying: "Go and transfer the money from several cards to one to facilitate payment."
"Is it enough?" Bian Nan immediately asked, "You said that if..."
"Let's go, let's go together." Qiu Yi said.
The two walked out of the hospital side by side in silence, Qiu Yi ran to two self-service banks, transferred all the money on the card together, Bian Nan stood aside and watched, Qiu Yi didn't avoid him, he looked at the balance on the card Arrived.
"Not enough." Bian Nan said.
"Well," Qiu Yi glanced at him, "Lend me 30,000 yuan for your money first."
"I'll transfer it to you," Bian Nan immediately took out his wallet and took out his own card, "Is 30,000 enough?"
"Look at the situation first, and then we'll talk if it's not enough." Qiu Yi's voice was always hoarse.
"Is it conservative treatment now?" Bian Nan felt very uncomfortable when he heard Qiu Yi's voice.
"Yes," Qiu Yi looked at him, "I talked to the doctor again. The doctor had a consultation in the morning and did not recommend surgery. The physical condition does not allow it. I can't bear it. The effect of the operation will not be too obvious. I can only intervene first. Put a bracket in the main pipe..."
"Understood." Bian Nan felt a little powerless, didn't say anything else, and transferred 30,000 yuan to Qiu Yi.
"Have you been drinking?" Qiu Yi asked suddenly when walking back.
Bian Nan subconsciously covered his mouth: "Can you still smell it? You can't!"
"I haven't changed my clothes yet, and I can smell the alcohol on the clothes." Qiu Yi stopped and turned to look at him, "Bian Nan, what I said yesterday..."
"I know, I know," Bian Nan interrupted him, "I know you don't mean that, don't you mean neither, anyway, I'm like that anyway."
The words were quite convoluted, Bian Nan didn't know if Qiu Yi could understand, he didn't quite understand after he finished speaking, so he added another sentence: "You are already unreasonable, I can't be unreasonable."
It was not easy for Bian Nan to say such words. After he finished speaking, he stared at Qiu Yi, afraid that seeing Qiu Yi's face would make him feel uneasy.
But Qiu Yi glanced at him, just smiled, and continued walking forward.
"You didn't sleep yesterday?" Bian Nan looked at Qiu Yi's side face, and Qiu Yi's face was full of exhaustion.
"Didn't sleep well, stayed with me on the bed, and sat all night," Qiu Yi said, "My dad basically can't sleep at night now."
"How about...I'll accompany you today," Bian Nan thought for a while, "Go back and sleep, or let you board the boat in a few days..."
"No more," Qiu Yi cleared his throat, "I've already told the company that I'm not going."
Bian Nan was stunned. Although he knew that it would be very troublesome for Qiu Yi to board the boat again, he was still a little surprised to hear Qiu Yi say it. After all, after studying for three years, he expected to have a stable job. income.
"Now that I'm on the boat, I can't take care of it," Qiu Yi said in a low voice, "Let's do it for now."
"Why don't you take some more money?" Bian Nan frowned. Qiu's father's daily treatment fee is not low, he can't figure it out, but Qiu Yi's money plus the 30,000, if there is no other income, it will still be difficult. strenuous.
"Let's talk about it, keep it for now," Qiu Yi pulled the scarf, "I have a way."
"What way?" Bian Nan asked.
"I'll tell you after I've made up my mind." Qiu Yi said.
Bian Nan didn't inquire any more, Qiu Yi has always been a person with great ideas and plans, even in this situation, he is still calm, except that his words have become a little less.
Although their lives were completely disrupted because of Qiu's father's illness, and they could no longer chat easily and wander around as before, the relationship between the two has also become a little subtle, alienated and harmonious to a certain extent. A certain degree of intimacy intertwined.
But Bian Nan is not in the mood to sort out these things now, no matter how much Qiu Yi can handle things, he still needs his support, even if it is just to help find a doctor to inquire about the situation or send a meal, instead of staying with him in bed.
Bian Nan felt that he had lost the insecurity he had before, at least he was still standing with Qiu Yi.
Father Qiu's condition after the treatment was not good, and he could see the changes day by day. Every day when he got off work and rushed to the hospital, he could feel that he had lost weight again.
At first, I just had a bad appetite and ate very little. After a month, I couldn't eat anything. I had to wear nutrition injections every day, and it became more and more difficult to speak.
"Uncle," Bian Nan sat on the edge of the hospital bed, rolled up his sleeves to reveal a bruise on his arm, "Look, I'm teaching someone how to play today, it's so fierce, you beat my arm and it came over."
Papa Qiu looked at his arm, laughed silently, and said softly, "Like a flower."
"It's really not cured. This time the newcomers are like this. In another month, I think my whole body will be full of flowers. By the way," Bian Nan leaned into Qiu's father's ear, "Uncle, let me tell you, the second treasure will be full of flowers today." Received the love letter, it was given to him by the girl at the front desk, it is very well written, with a unique literary talent, I can’t write it anyway.”
Bian Nan thought of his love letter in his diary, which was just one sentence a day, every day, and he was so superior.
"Better than his brother..." Dad Qiu said with a smile, his voice was very soft.
Although Qiu Yan may not be better than his brother, he is not far behind.
Bian Nan was always worried that Qiu Yan would be unbearable if he found out about Qiu's father's illness. Although no one told him directly, Qiu Yan was a smart kid, and he should have seen it.
But what made Bian Nan feel comforted and distressed was that Qiu Yan didn't cry or make a fuss, he just asked the teacher for leave, and every day he left school one class earlier and came to the hospital to accompany Qiu's father.
Looking at Qiu Yan's appearance, Bian Nan began to understand Papa Qiu's gratified yet entangled mood.
Unlike Qiu Yi, Qiu Yan was originally a much more cheerful kid than Qiu Yi, but he suddenly became so silent and well-behaved, Bian Nan was always worried that he would suddenly break his strings.
The solution Qiu Yi came up with to solve the economic problem has never been told to Bian Nan, but Bian Nan knew that he had started taking care of students again, and arranged classes every morning and afternoon, and went straight to the hospital after class.
Only when Shen Tao got off the ship and when Wan Fei came to help on weekends, they could rest for a while at the same time.
There were very few opportunities for the two to communicate. They met in the hospital, stayed by Qiu's father's bedside, fell asleep when they got home, and started another busy day the next day.
Bian Nan successfully passed the assessment, and after officially joining the job, the work became more complicated than before.
Every day I am dazed and busy from morning to night. When I wake up in the morning and see the branches full of green buds in the morning light outside the window, I suddenly realize that spring has come for a while.
After eating at noon, he purposely used his mobile phone to take pictures of a lot of young shoots in the flower beds by the side of the court, planning to take them to the hospital to show to Papa Qiu.
The phone rang, he looked at it, it was Qiu Yi's call, a little surprised, Qiu Yi was too busy this time, and he rarely called him.
"Have you eaten yet?" He answered the phone.
"Eat," Qiu Yi said, "I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Bian Nan sat down on the edge of the flower bed.
"Borrow money." Qiu Yi said.
"Is this negotiable? How much?" Bian Nan smiled.
"In addition to the money needed by the hospital, lend me some more," Qiu Yi also smiled, "I want to rent a slightly larger house next to the hospital."
"Huh?" Bian Nan was taken aback, "Why use it?"
"You come here and I will tell you in detail."
When Bian Nan got off work and arrived at the hospital, he met Qiu Yi coming out of the ward with a cigarette case, the two entered the fire escape as usual, and stood by the window.
"I want to rent a suite to call the students who need to make up classes to come to class and start a small class," Qiu Yi lit a cigarette, "It will be closer to the hospital so I can come here more conveniently, so I don't have to run around every day."
"A cram school?" Bian Nan was quite surprised.
"It doesn't count, it can be one-on-one, or three or four together, just stagger the class time," Qiu Yi tapped his fingers on the window, "Many parents have always asked me to make up lessons, I thought, I will bring a few for myself and share some with others..."
"Where can I find someone to teach?" Bian Nan asked. He knew that Qiu Yi was good at giving lectures, and he also knew that many parents had been looking for him to make up lessons. Qiu Yi had a good reputation for making up lessons, but he didn't expect Qiu Yi to think about it Make it this way.
"My former classmate, classmate's classmate, came to me to introduce students to me before. I got to know a few, and there are a few that are pretty good," Qiu Yi smiled, "Now I can just find two or three. I never Collect a little introduction fee in the supplementary tuition fee, so now you can earn much more than before, and we will see how to do it later.”
"I..." Bian Nan thought for a while and couldn't decide what to say, and finally said, "Can I participate in shares if I pay more?"
Qiu Yi smiled: "What kind of stock does Xiao Hei Workshop participate in?"
"It won't always be Xiaohei Workshop, right? What if it grows bigger, what will become New Oriental Lanxiang?" Bian Nan clicked his tongue.
"It's really too troublesome to become a university student. I can't think about qualifications and various procedures so far," Qiu Yi took a puff of cigarette, "I just want to solve the difficulties in front of me. If I make up classes, the time is more flexible."
"That's fine," Bian Nan nodded, "I'll transfer the money to you."
The house that Qiu Yi was interested in was in an old community next to the hospital. The management was loose, so the rent was relatively low. Many houses in the community were rented out for various businesses, and there were also private kindergartens.
This suite has three bedrooms and one living room. The living room is used for small classes, and one-on-one supplementary lessons can be used in the room. There is no furniture in the room, so the two of them took time to buy some tables and chairs, so they can complete the work.
"Why am I a little excited?" Bian Nan stood in the living room and turned around.
"I haven't invested in shares yet, why are you so excited?" Qiu Yi said.
"I don't know, it's kind of hopeful." Bian Nan smiled.
Qiu Yi didn't speak, stood in front of him and looked at him for a while, leaned over and hugged him, kissed him on the neck, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Bian Nan closed his eyes and did not speak.
After starting to make up classes next to the hospital, Qiu Yi's daily schedule was a little more relaxed, and he could walk to the hospital in about ten minutes after making up classes. Bian Nan brought over the induction cooker from Yang Xu's house, and he could cook some simple food at ordinary times.
Qiu's father's health did not improve much. Although it was not easy, Bian Nan had forced himself to slowly accept this reality in the past two or three months.
Apart from smiling when facing Qiu's father in the ward, Qiu Yi seldom smiled at other times. Occasionally, Bian Nan would see him sitting on a chair in the corridor in a daze.
Bian Nan felt that he was the only one who could see the sadness hidden in the exhaustion on Qiu Yi's face.
This year's cold spring is a bit long. When Bian Nan went to work in the morning, he felt that the wind was sharper than in winter, and he cut and chopped very ecstasy. He felt that if the journey was longer, his face would be perfect. like face"...
Today was the weekend, and there were many students who came to play. Bian Nan stood on the court for almost two hours before he had time to sit down beside him.
"This boy, let me tell you something." Gu Wei came over and sat next to him, "There will be an event next month, and it will happen every spring. It is to organize students to come to a competition, voluntarily sign up, and the prizes will be displayed." Responsible, the coach will also have an exhibition game."
"Well," Bian Nan nodded, "Do you want me to go?"
"Smart," Gu Wei laughed, and patted him on the shoulder, "I was arrested last year and the year before last, and I was beaten to death by Chen instructing them. With you this year, I don't have to lose this person anymore."
"Don't you just play casually in the exhibition game? You can be cleaned up by others?" Bian Nan couldn't help but glanced at him. If it wasn't for Gu Wei's high teaching level, he would have been eliminated from the coaching team by Zhanfei based on his skills. .
"It's a performance! It's just a talk! No one is performing!" Gu Wei looked unhappy, "I'm so fucking desperate to peacock in front of the students!"
"Okay, I will participate next month. I may not be able to avenge you, but I shouldn't embarrass you." Bian Nan said that he has seen almost all other coaches and assistants play, so he can almost estimate their level. .
"Young man, it's up to you!" Gu Wei happily grabbed his shoulder.
Bian Nan stood up and moved around, and was about to go over to correct the posture of the students who were practicing, when the mobile phone thrown on the stool rang.
Bian Nan's heart twitched. Ever since Papa Qiu's condition became worse and worse, he began to be afraid of the phone ringing.
In the past, he was relieved when he picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Xiao Curly's number. Qiu Yan didn't go to school today and stayed in the hospital. It was probably because Qiu's father fell asleep, so he called to chat.
"Second Treasure," Bian Nan answered the phone, "It's almost time for dinner, right?"
"Big Huzi!" Qiu Yan said loudly, crying in panic, "My dad had a high fever this morning, and he just fell into critical condition!"
"What?" Bian Nan yelled, turned his head to look at Gu Wei, did not say anything for a long time, Gu Wei reacted quickly, waved his hand immediately, he grabbed his coat, turned around and ran outside, asking as he ran, " Erbao, don't worry, I'll be there right away! Where's your brother?"
"Brother is in the ward." Qiu Yan's voice trembled violently.
"It's okay, I'll be there right away." Bian Nan rushed out of Zhanfei's gate and grabbed a taxi that had already been stopped by the side of the road.
Qiu's father suddenly started to have a fever in the middle of the night last night, and he couldn't get rid of it. The temperature did not change even after taking medicine. When Bian Nan rushed to the hospital, the hospital began to use physical cooling.
Qiu Yi stood by the hospital bed, looked up at him, then lowered his head to help the nurse wipe Papa Qiu's body and change his wet clothes.
Bian Nan stood in the ward for a while, but he couldn't help much. He was afraid of getting in the way when the nurses came in and out, so he left the ward.
Qiu Yan sat on a chair outside, shaking his legs up and down.
Bian Nan squatted in front of him and touched his face: "Er Bao."
"Are you absent from work?" Qiu Yan looked at him and asked.
"No," Bian Nan smiled, "I asked for leave."
Qiu Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at him: "Da Huzi, is my father dying soon?"
"Don't... nonsense." Bian Nan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he didn't know how to answer Qiu Yan's question. Whether it was yes or no, it was the same pain for Qiu Yan.
"I'm fine," Qiu Yan said softly with his head down, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried...I'm worried that I won't be able to see my father when I miss him."
