When I woke up again, it was at night. The ward was quiet, with only one light on, which made me feel a little dazed.
There was no one in the ward, and the motionless figure of Sumino Hitomi lying on the hospital bed came into my mind. I immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed and walked outside. The fever had subsided, and although my head was still a little dizzy, my steps were not frivolous.
He walked to the next ward as fast as he could, but stood at the door, not daring to reach out and knock on the door.
It was equally quiet inside, and only one lamp was lit. The person on the hospital bed had his eyes closed tightly, and the curve on the electronic instrument beside the bed was beating. Looking at the current situation, it should be out of danger, right?
She gently opened the door and approached his hospital bed step by step. The guilt in her heart deepened little by little. Before she even got close to the edge of the bed, she saw the person on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes calm.
looked at me.
When did he wake up? I paused, and Cen Yetong twitched the corner of his mouth and actually laughed. Although he was weak, he said to me: "You actually peeked at me!"
"I didn't!" I subconsciously pushed back, only to realize that this made the atmosphere instantly lighter.
I looked at him, and his face looked paler under the not too bright light. His legs were covered under the quilt, and I didn't know if they were intact. I wanted to know, but I couldn't ask.
Sumeye Hitomi motioned me to sit down with her eyes, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, there is only one left."
I originally reached out to move the chair, wanting to get closer to him, but when I heard this, the chair slipped out of my hand, making a loud noise, and I heard hurried footsteps coming towards the ward. However,
Within a few seconds, the door was pushed open, and Mrs. Cen looked nervously at the person on the hospital bed. After confirming that he was okay, she looked at me.
She walked closer to me, her eyes scrutinizing.
Cen Yetong shouted: "Mom, I want to talk to Buyu for a while."
Mrs. Cen is a well-educated person after all. Although she seemed to have a lot of things to ask me for confirmation, she held back when she came to her lips and said with a smile: "Ah, okay, is the light too dim? Can I turn on a brighter light?"
Cen Yetong shook his head, and Mrs. Cen took a few steps back. Just when she was about to turn around, she gave me a warning look from an angle that Cen Yetong couldn't see.
Did she know something? Did she know that Sumino Hitomi became like this because of me? My heart was full of guilt, and I lowered my head and closed my eyes.
The atmosphere in the ward became solemn again. I walked towards him with my head lowered, not daring to meet his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Sen Ye Hitomi, I'm sorry!"
Sum Yetong stretched out his hand to hold me. He probably had a low fever, and his palms were burning hot.
"Do you feel sorry for me?" His eyes were still dark and there was always a smile on his lips: "Otherwise, let's make a deal."
I looked at him blankly, not understanding what he wanted to say. Although Sumino Hitomi in front of me was still as calm as before, after all, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy who had just lost a leg. How could he be so cool?
Calm and even able to talk to me about a so-called deal with a smile?
"Jun Buyu, I used to pretend to be your boyfriend and I never asked you for anything. Now do you feel so guilty that you want to strangle yourself to death? Actually, I blame you a little, so
, let’s make a deal. You will be my girlfriend, and when we are of marriageable age, we will get married, and you will take care of me for the rest of my life. Then I will forgive you! What do you think?” Sumino Hitomi said this, thinly.
There was only a faint red color on his lips. He had lost too much blood in the snow!
I shook my head and even stood up. I thought clearly that I would agree to anything he said, only feelings! In the final analysis, I am an extremely selfish person. I don’t care about the things that I value, no matter what the price others pay.
will be willing to give.
My reaction seemed to be what he expected. Sumeye Hitomi's face remained unchanged, he was still smiling, and he slowly reached out to lift the quilt. With his weak slow motion, the first thing I saw was his dead right foot.
, and then on the left foot that should be level with the right leg, there is an empty pant leg of the hospital gown, and everything below the knee is gone!
I covered my mouth, and suddenly I hated the revenge of Sum Yetong on me. How could he do this? Use this as a dagger to pierce my heart fiercely?
"Look, I look like a monster now! Without saying a word, do you think I can still gain love in the future?" Seneyetong's voice was a little less clear and a little more cold than before, which made me feel cold.
Shivered.
"You take care of me all your life, and I will forgive you!" Sum Yetong finally said these words, as if he was extremely tired and closed his eyes to rest.
I looked at his thin and handsome face, and it didn’t change much from before. It’s just that his behavior now is very different from before. Or maybe this is his true form, but he has always hidden it well, and I
I knew too little. It wasn’t until much later that I realized that the deal he mentioned was just a way for me to turn my self-blame and guilt into hating him. He would rather I hate him than let him
I was immersed in my own guilt and self-blame.
At the moment, it is difficult for me to accept such a change in Sumeye Hitomi, but when I see his incomplete left leg without a quilt, I feel a burst of sadness and convulsions. He has sacrificed so much, and I must make some choices. But in this lifetime
That’s it, how long can it be? But Jun Changqian, even if it’s a short life, I won’t have any different interactions with you, let’s go to the next life!
I thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "I promise you!"
Although he was facing the wall, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his eyes were closed, I knew that although he was weak, he was not asleep.
He hummed in a low voice, without turning his face, and just said: "Then you go back and rest, we will see you tomorrow!"
Before leaving, I put down the quilt on his legs for him, and fixed my eyes on the amputated position of his left leg covered by the quilt, and said to myself: "Jun Buyu, you owe him! A leg,
It’s only fair that it takes a lifetime to pay it back.”
When I walked out of the ward, I heard a very low-pitched quarrel. It seemed to be Mr. Cen's voice, reprimanding something harshly, and then it sounded like Jun Changqian's response, a low voice, one or two monosyllables, without even an explanation.
One sentence.
I was sitting in the ward where the lighting was not too bright, with my legs wrapped around my knees. Is this relationship between Jun Changqian and me something that shouldn't exist in the first place? It's "**", so fate has given us this arrangement?
When I know his thoughts, let me break up with him more completely. This is how fate plays a trick on me.
Someone pushed the door open and came in. Le Siyuan asked as he walked: "I just came out of the bathroom and I didn't see you." He paused and said, "Have you seen Ye Tong?"
I nodded, and Le Siyuan sighed and said, "That's what happened now. We have to learn not to cry over spilled milk, okay?"
He was right, don't cry over spilled milk, but I had nowhere to vent my sadness. I don't know if it was because of Sum Yetong's amputated leg or because I was sad that I couldn't be with Jun Changqian. In short, like
It feels like I can't breathe.
The sound of heavy footsteps came, and Jun Changqian pushed open the door and walked towards me: "Are you awake, Buyu? How do you feel? Are you hungry?"
I didn't dare to look up at him, because I would let him down. I still hugged my knees with my arms and shook my head.
Le Siyuan called Jun Changqian out. The two of them talked about something outside the ward. When they came in again, Jun Changqian was alone. He sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his long arms and took me into his arms.
His embrace has a faint fragrance of gardenia. I am so attached to his embrace. I have to say goodbye today.
"Are you sad for Yetong?" he asked.
I shook my head. I was indeed sad about Sumeye Hitomi, but at this moment, I was even more sad that from now on, he and I would really return to the most normal relationship of uncle and niece. I can no longer have a crush on him, and I can no longer take advantage of him.
Cen Yetong should be angry with him. He can't do it anymore...
His chest was wet with tears, and I was out of breath from crying. This crying process exhausted all my strength. So I finally collapsed in his arms, looked up at him and asked: "Uncle,
I want a kiss."
When I was little, I also made this request. He also liked to tease me. Every time before he kissed me, I had to give him a kiss on each cheek. Then he picked me up and kissed me on his cheek.
I would print his kiss on my forehead. Sometimes he would also play pranks. For example, when I woke up in the morning, if I asked, he would prick me with a beetroot and play with me on the bed. But in the future, these will never happen again.
.
He held my face, ran his thumb across my cheek, wiped away the tears, and lowered his head. It was still the position of the forehead, and it will always be the position of the forehead, because he always remembered that he was my brother-in-law!
I didn't close my eyes the whole night, and I didn't feel hungry. I just lay with my eyes open and saw his silhouette crossing mine and folding against the wall.
Early the next morning, I appeared outside Sumino Hitomi's ward with a pair of panda eyes.
In front of his hospital bed, there were a bunch of people guarding him. Jun Xiaoqing was on the innermost floor, crying so hard that her eyes were like peaches.
Lu Zi greeted me and asked how I was doing. I smiled and said I was feeling better.
Jun Xiaoqing turned around, still angry with me. She faced Cen Yetong and said, "Brother Yetong, have a good rest!" She got up and walked towards me, saying bitterly: "Jun Buyu, you
follow me!"
I followed her and walked to the other end of the ward corridor, by the window. We were still in city x, and it was still very cold. The window was open, and the wind blew in, which made me even more awake.
"Buyu, you lied to me! You clearly said that you don't like Brother Yetong, and you clearly said that Brother Yetong was helping you, but why would he confess to you?"
I shook my head and said that I didn't know the reason. If Sumino Hitomi didn't like me, maybe things wouldn't turn out like this and I wouldn't lose a leg because of a hairpin I care about.
"Buyu, I used to trust you, and I have always had confidence that Brother Yetong will definitely like me if I am so kind and cute. But now, I don't believe you! You don't have to defend yourself. From today on, I will no longer treat you as a child.
Sister! You are my love rival!"
I was sad for Xiaoqing, because I lowered my head and had no intention of defending myself. She cared about me, just like I cared about her, and treated her like my own sister. But things have evolved so far, and indeed, as she said,
