The consultation time is about after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Wen accompanied Xie Shuo to the old man's place for a reunion dinner, and Xie Yuran was also there.
In the past two months, Ye Wen seldom saw Xie Yuran. It is said that because of the development project last time, he was transferred to an out-of-town branch to stay for a while.
It's been a long time since I saw him, he looks quite decadent and haggard, the word "frustration" seems to be written on his face, and he only smiled a little when he was talking in front of the old man.
When eating, he happened to sit diagonally across from Xie Shuo, Ye Wen noticed that he glanced towards Xie Shuo several times.
After dinner, Ye Wen sat with the old man for a while, and in order to avoid raising the topic, he took Xie Shuo to hide in the yard outside for a walk.
An old-style small courtyard with criss-cross paths. In addition to flowers and plants, vegetables are also planted in the yard. The two walked through it, and suddenly ran into Xie Yuran beside the rose bushes.
He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, white clothes and black trousers, a blush was added to his handsome and clean face, and the corners of his eyes were a little drunk.
"Brother." He first called Xie Shuo, and then turned to Ye Wen, "Sister-in-law."
Ye Wen smiled politely, because he was so close, he could smell the alcohol on his body.
Xie Yuran put one hand in his pocket and asked, "I heard from Grandpa that you are going to Professor Cen's place again tomorrow?"
Xie Shuo gave a light "hmm": "Maybe I will stay there for a while. When I'm not around, if you have anything, you can find Zhong Fu."
Xie Yuran smiled, with a hint of reluctance: "Okay, brother, pay more attention to your health, if there is any situation, ask sister-in-law to call back at any time."
After a few polite words, Xie Yuran couldn't find anything else to say, so he turned back the same way. Before entering the room, he glanced back, but stopped talking.
Ye Wen happened to meet his eyes, supported Xie Shuo, and whispered: "Your brother seems a little strange today."
Xie Shuo couldn't see him, so he naturally didn't know what he was doing, so he raised his eyes and asked, "Why is it so strange?"
Ye Wen turned around and said, "I can't explain clearly, but it feels a bit strange."
Xie Shuo frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
That night, the two of them still didn't stay in the old house and returned to Xie's house early.
The moon was full in Mid-Autumn Festival, it was supposed to be a bright moon in the sky, but the weather was not so good this night, with heavy clouds and a drizzle, so no one could enjoy the full moon, and Ye Wen almost caught a cold from the wind.
After taking a shower, Ye Wen lay on the bed, a little restless, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, suddenly turned sideways and said, "Tell me, will you suddenly regain your sight this time?"
Xie Shuo turned his face to her, probably because he didn't want to hurt her, and after a while, he said, "Go to bed early."
Ye Wen: "..."
-----
Two days later, Ye Wen accompanied Xie Shuo to the research institute again, this time Xie Baiyan did not go with him because of business. But the night before leaving, the father and son chatted for a long time in the study.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly. The car passed through the elevated road, left the urban area, and drove into the research institute.
The last time I came back, it was still green and green in early summer. In a blink of an eye, it was already the season of withered and yellow leaves.
When Cen Qingyan saw the two of them, he first asked about Xie Shuo's situation in the past two months, and then began to conduct a comprehensive examination for him.
Ye Wen waited outside, maybe it was because of an experience, her mood was much calmer this time, and she didn't feel weak like last time.
But after all, she was still a little worried. She stood in the deserted corridor for a while, and sat down in the rest area next to her.
In the examination room, Xie Shuo was lying quietly, a beam of light shone into his eyes.
After a long time, Cen Qingyan turned off the light, helped him up, raised his hand and waved in front of his eyes, and asked, "Have you ever had an afterimage in front of your eyes recently?"
Xie Shuo replied, "Two or three times."
A gleam of joy appeared on Cen Qingyan's face: "It seems that the second treatment plan is working, you stay here for half a month to observe, and starting tomorrow, the third treatment plan will be implemented, and I will give you a try of the new drug developed .”
Xie Shuo suddenly asked, "Can it be cured this time?"
Cen Qingyan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I can't be 100% sure about this yet, but the situation is much better than before. At present, the chance of a cure is about 40 to 50 percent."
Xie Shuo lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Please don't tell anyone else about this, including my wife."
Cen Qingyan guessed that he was afraid of giving them hope and disappointing them, expressed his understanding, and agreed: "Okay."
------
In the corridor, there are occasional footsteps passing by, which are very clear. Ye Wen waited for a long time, and finally waited for Xie Shuo to come out.
Her eyes lit up, she hurriedly got up to meet him, supported him, and asked Cen Qingyan: "Professor Cen, how is the situation?"
Cen Qingyan smiled and said: "The situation is much better than before, we can try the third plan."
Ye Wen was overjoyed, and excitedly held Xie Shuo's hand, and was so happy that he didn't know what to say.
Xie Shuo felt the strength in his hand, and his eyelashes moved slightly.
When he was young, Ye Wen sent Xie Shuo to a special ward to rest.
Settling in properly, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the autumn sun was slantingly cast by the window, cut off by the curtains, leaving a small shadow, swaying silently.
Xie Shuo sat quietly on the head of the bed, like a statue, the kind of sick beauty.
Ye Wen remembered Cen Qingyan's advice to keep him in a happy mood. After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone and decided to find something interesting to tell him to make him laugh.
As a result, as soon as he clicked on the Weibo homepage, a Weibo novel push came into view.
Ye Wen's eyes were attracted, he read a few lines, and then burst out laughing.
Hearing her sudden laughter, Xie Shuo didn't know what she was up to, he was a little baffled.
"May I read you a novel?" Ye Wen moved towards him and said with a smile.
Xie Shuo's reticence has improved a lot recently, so he followed her words and asked, "What novel?"
Ye Wan cleared his throat, and began to read emotionally into the phone——
"President, it has been three years since Madam was punished by you to dig a well in Africa."
"Will she admit she was wrong?"
"Not yet, but she's richer than you now."
As soon as Ye Wen finished reading, he couldn't hold back, and laughed non-stop while lying on his lap, the wanton laughter echoed in the ward.
Xie Shuo: "..."
Ye Wen laughed enough, raised his head, stretched out his finger and poked him on the shoulder: "Mr. Xie, when will you punish me for going to Africa? I also want to become richer than you."
Xie Shuo: "..."
Ye Wen suppressed a smile, and continued to look through the others: "There are kidney diggers and blood draws below... Are all of you presidents so cruel?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she asked worriedly: "You don't want to pluck out my eyes and replace them with yours?"
"..."
Xie Shuo looked at her indifferently, as if to say: Are you mentally retarded
Ye Wen waited for two seconds, but before he could speak, he couldn't help laughing first. She leaned in front of him, looked at him at a close distance, and was a little discouraged: "Can't you just smile for a while? We've been married for so long, and I haven't seen you smile before. You have a cold face all day long."
If one day I can see him smiling, it will really make the iron tree blossom.
Xie Shuo smelled the faint fragrance from her body, which was the smell he was most used to in the past six months.
Suddenly, a blurred light and shadow appeared in front of his eyes again, and this time it was more obvious than the previous few times. He tightened the quilt with his fingers and stared at her motionlessly, trying to see more clearly.
However, the light and shadow slowly disappeared, and the darkness submerged everything again.
I don't know if it's because of being too close, but Ye Wen always had the illusion that he was looking at him, and the base of his ears felt slightly hot. The kiss that almost happened that day flashed through her mind, her eyes unconsciously fell on his thin lips, and her heart suddenly missed a beat.
The atmosphere also became more delicate, she hurriedly backed away, just lowered her head when she suddenly heard him ask: "Would you like to go out for a walk?"
Ye Wen: "?"
Ye Wen's eyes widened, almost thinking that he had heard wrong.
The last time she came here for treatment, she didn't know how much she had to spend to coax him to go out for a walk, but this time he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to go out for a walk.
Really transformed
"Okay!" Ye Wen couldn't ask for more, and hurriedly helped him out of bed.
The light and shadow floated on the curtain behind her, and she glanced at his stern side face, and suddenly found that his temper seemed to be much better recently, and he was not so moody.
Outside the building, the autumn sun is shining slantingly, the sycamore trees are towering, and the leaves are falling, circling and passing the ground with the wind.
Ye Wen helped Xie Shuo across the lawn and walked slowly on the green avenue, there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
After a long time, the two were tired from walking and sat down on a bench by the roadside. Ye Wen looked around, and suddenly said: "Wait here, I'll go find a book."
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, such an environment is perfect for reading. Ye Wen hurried back to the building and asked Cen Qingyan to borrow a book. He took it casually, and it happened to be a collection of Tagore's poems.
In autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, and falls on the two people sitting side by side, mottled.
Ye Man put the collection of poems on his lap, flipped through the pages one by one, and slowly read—
"I hear echoes, from valleys and hearts
Harvest empty souls with a lonely sickle
Constantly repeating the decision, and repeating the happiness
There will always be an oasis swaying in the desert
I believe in myself
born like bright summer flowers
Invincible and invincible, flirtatious as fire
…
I hear love, I believe in love
Love is a struggling blue algae
like a gust of wind
through my bleeding veins
Beliefs That Stand Over the Years
I believe everything can be heard
…”
The gentle voice slowly rang in the ears, like the warm wind in spring, melting the ice and snow in severe winter.
Xie Shuo listened quietly, the profile of his face was shrouded in a little light, shining brightly, and his usual cold eyebrows and eyes gradually became gentle.
At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that if the rest of his life was destined to be spent in boundless darkness, it seemed good to have such a person by his side and be a husband and wife for the rest of his life.
I don't know how long it took, the voice in the ear gradually lowered, and finally disappeared in the soft wind.
The shoulders sank, and one head tilted over, the warmth seeping through the clothes. Xie Shuo tilted his head slightly, his chin brushed against her soft hair, and the tip of his nose had a familiar fragrance.
The surroundings suddenly became silent, and in the endless darkness, he heard the sound of fallen leaves falling to the ground, the sound of the wind passing through the branches, and the light breathing on his shoulders, like many mornings, waking up from the darkness.
White fingers slipped from between the pages of the book and just slipped into his hand.
Feeling the coldness of her fingertips, he was stunned for a moment, then moved slightly, wrapping her hand in a warm one.
Withered leaves are like butterflies, and the collection of poems on my lap is turned over by the wind and stops at a certain page.
…
-----
Because of Xie Shuo's active cooperation, the treatment this time was much more pleasant than the last time. Ye Wen even felt that he was on vacation with him. After completing the routine inspection every day, he walked and sat in the research institute, and his life was quite leisurely.
The only regret is that half a month later, Xie Shuo did not experience a miracle and suddenly regained his sight as she had hoped in her heart.
Asked Cen Qingyan several times, Cen Qingyan always answered "the situation is better than before, but it is not sure whether he can recover his eyesight", which made Ye Wen seriously suspect that he was just comforting himself.
The day I left the research institute was also a cloudless sky.
Outside the car window, the street scene gradually became bustling. Ye Wen looked at the silent Xie Shuo beside him, worried that he would be sad, and stretched out his hand to gently cover the back of his pale hand.
Xie Shuo was no longer unwilling to talk to her as before, but took her hand in his backhand and gently kneaded it.
Ye Wen: "...?"
Ye Wen originally just wanted to comfort him, but he didn't expect him to react like this, and was a little confused.
Since that night, he seems to have taken a liking to pinching her hand, holding and pinching her hand twice from time to time, and he doesn't know what kind of hobby this is.
Ye Wen looked at the slender fingers that had been kneaded so hot by him, and wanted to pull them back, but thought that he had just been hit, and he must be in a bad mood, so he endured it, and finally let him go.
