Back at the hotel, Ting Shuang washed off the sand from her body and went to pack her luggage.
"Bring the box home, I only need to bring the mobile wallet and ID." Ting Shuang looked at the things in the room, "and the charger."
"I'll go with you." Bai Changyi said, "I'll collect the things."
Ting Shuang froze for a moment and said, "Oh..."
He was a little sluggish after returning from the beach.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there is an explanation message from Zhu Wenjia: I only found out when I returned to China.
Ting Shuang sat on the ground, looked at the screen for a long time, and then typed a line: let me know if there is anything.
After I finished typing, I deleted it and changed it to: Wait for me to come back.
After sending the message, he opened the browser and searched for: Brain hemorrhage.
Countless words poured into his eyes randomly: acute mortality, high blood pressure, smoking, emotional agitation, sequelae, sudden, death.
"Ready to go." Bai Changyi stretched out his hand in front of Ting Shuang.
"... Well." Ting Shuang handed Bai Changyi his hand and asked him to pull himself up.
Traveling to the airport by car can be difficult.
The waiting time is also difficult.
Ting Shuang wanted to smoke a cigarette, but she held back what she saw when she checked the brain hemorrhage just now.
"I regret it." He suddenly said to Bai Changyi.
Bai Changyi did not speak, waiting for him to continue.
"I suddenly remembered a lot of things from the past." Ting Shuang looked down at the ground between her feet, "I regret going abroad to study. I shouldn't be mad at him."
He said a few words, and was quiet for a while. Bai Changyi kept listening and said nothing.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Ting Shuang said.
He had been away for a long time, and he came back with a paper bag in his hand.
"I bought a pair of shoes." He smiled at Bai Changyi, with a little hope in his eyes, as if his life was hanging on this issue, "Do you think he can wear them?"
Bai Changyi looked at him: "Yes, of course."
"Fart." Ting Shuang threw the bag on the ground, "I don't even know what size shoes he wears. I call him once a year. Who the fuck is sad here now? He's out. It's not my fault that people didn't tell me."
He made a fuss, and he didn't know whether it was to himself or to others. After the anger was over, there was no anger to hide, and the fragility could no longer be hidden. He rested his head on Bai Changyi's shoulder and said sorry in a low voice.
Bai Changyi touched his head: "Go eat something."
Ting Shuang shook her head.
He has no appetite.
He barely ate anything and couldn't sleep during the eleven hours on the plane, just staring out the window into the darkness until the sun rose from the east, out of sight.
Bai Changyi knew that what he needed was neither food nor sleep. He needed a person to think about something and grow up, whether he wanted it or not.
Zhu Wenjia and the driver are waiting for them at the airport.
"How is Dad?" he asked as soon as he met Ting Shuang.
Zhu Wenjia said, "I haven't woken up yet."
Not good news, at least not worse news.
Zhu Wenjia glanced at Bai Changyi and asked Ting Shuang, "Have you eaten? Should we go to the hospital first or—" "Go to the hospital," Ting Shuang said.
"I think so too. I guess you don't have the heart to go to other places. It's half past two now." Zhu Wenjia looked at the time and said to the driver, "Let's hurry up."
The icu visitation regulations are strict, only one hour of visiting time is open every afternoon, from 3:00 to 4:00, with a maximum of two people visiting at a time.
In the car, Zhu Wenjia sat in the co-pilot, and Ting Shuang and Bai Changyi sat in the back row. Ting Shuang saw the photo on the car, a small group photo, Zhu Ao, Weng Yunyi, and Zhu Wenjia as a child in the middle. After Zhu Wenjia was born, they had to take family portraits every year. Ting Shuang refused to go since he was a child, and Zhu Ao refused to go no matter how he coerced and lured him. Later, when he grew up, his relationship with Weng Yunyi eased, and he was willing to play with Zhu Wenjia, but they were all used to him not taking pictures. No one asked him if he wanted to take family portraits. Even he himself felt that the family portraits were added. Instead he was awkward.
Now he saw the family photo in the car and suddenly felt like a homeless person. His father has a family of his own, and so does his mother...
"Ting" Bai Changyi shouted.
"Huh?" Ting Shuang recovered and looked down at Bai Changyi's photo album.
There are pages and pages full of pictures of them, and their sons.
"By the way, did you tell your friend to trouble her to take care of our son for a few more days?" Ting Shuang asked.
"Of course. We'll put this photo in the car when we go back?" Bai Chang took Ting Shuang's waist without a trace, "is this still this one?"
"It's fine." Ting Shuang squeezed Bai Changyi's hand quietly, "I want both."
Zhu Wenjia realized what they were saying and noticed the photos on the car. He took the family photo and put it in the locker in the car.
"Zhu Wenjia, what are you doing?" Ting Shuang smiled, "It's not necessary."
"In the past two days, my mother... put this kind of photos everywhere, and she kept crying." Zhu Wenjia fiddled with the handle of the locker, "I felt even more uncomfortable watching it."
Ting Shuang was silent for a while before saying, "...Understandable. She must be sad. "
"I don't want to see her cry." Zhu Wenjia said.
Ting Shuang said, "you just don't make trouble for her."
The car drove fast, and it was only a few minutes after three when we arrived at the hospital.
"Let's hurry." Zhu Wenjia walked ahead.
Outside the icu, Zhu Wenjia asked Ting Shuang and Bai Changyi to wait, and he went to ask the nurse to take them to change into the isolation gowns, masks, hats and shoe covers to be worn in the icu.
"Mr. Zhu?" The nurse looked at the visit record, "Someone is already visiting today."
"Someone is visiting? Now?" Zhu Wenjia said, "It's just early three o'clock, who is visiting? Didn't it say that only family members are allowed to visit?"
The nurse said, "It's a family member. It's Mr. Zhu's wife who is visiting. She also brought a friend of Mr. Zhu with her."
"My mother?" Zhu Wenjia said, "I told her that I would pick up my brother today... What's the matter."
"What's the matter?" Ting Shuang came to ask Zhu Wenjia's negotiating look.
"...My mother is visiting." Zhu Wenjia was a little irritable, "We can only come back tomorrow."
Ting Shuang thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait here."
"What are you waiting for?" Zhu Wenjia said. "You can't get in when they come out. The visit time is very short. You won't see anyone here."
"It's okay, I feel at ease here." Ting Shuang said, "Besides, I should say hello to my aunt. By the way, is the doctor there? I want to talk to the doctor. "
The resident doctor's surname is Cheng, and she has two huge dark circles under her eyes. When Ting Shuang came in, she was writing medical records, and she was annoyed when she heard that the other party was a relative of Zhu Ao.
In the past few days, too many people have come to care about when Zhu Ao will die. She complained countless times behind her back, "You are so anxious that people are not dead yet", but she still has to show professionalism in front of her relatives. She put down the mouse, turned around, and explained her condition to Ting Shuang seriously.
She started with Zhu Ao's history of hypertension, and then talked about the patient's sudden increase in blood pressure due to emotional agitation after drinking, and the small blood vessels in the brain could not withstand the rupture, which caused cerebral hemorrhage.
"That's what we usually call a stroke," she said.
Ting Shuang's lips moved and repeated silently, "stroke... Then, when will he wake up? "
"It's hard to say." Dr. Cheng paused and continued to explain how cerebral edema was caused after cerebral hemorrhage, and how cerebral edema caused brain herniation. "Then the respiratory center is inhibited, and people are in danger at any time, so close observation is still needed. ."
Ting Shuang listened all the way, and didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, he said: "He is not the kind of person who drinks alcohol without restraint or is very emotional. He knows that he has high blood pressure, and he has medicine by his side, and he is also afraid own accident."
This is to ask how the patient was sent in, but the doctor can only listen to the description of the patient's family. After all, the doctor did not eat and drink with Zhu Ao.
Dr. Cheng can only treat the disease, but cannot solve the confusion of Tingshuang.
Ting Shuang saw that Dr. Cheng didn't speak, and realized that it was useless to say such words to the doctor, so she had to say thank you, then got up and left.
He returned to the outside of the icu. Not long after, Weng Yunyi came out with red eyes.
Ting Shuang, the man who was with her, had the impression that he was his father's friend and one of the shareholders of roborun.
Zhu Wenjia said, "Mom, I didn't say today—" "Xiaojia, this is Uncle Yan, call someone." Weng Yunyi said, "Uncle Yan came all the way to see your father, I will definitely bring him here."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ting Shuang and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if she didn't know how to speak: "You... why do you have to be angry with your father? Alas... I usually don't make a phone call. It hurts his heart... He has been safe and sound for the past few years, but since you... Forget it, forget it, the family, the family has nothing to deal with, you didn't do it on purpose, I don't know who did it ... Are you staying at home when you come back today? I'll cook and have dinner together."
