back to his time

face in the mirror

Two weeks before Miao Xiu's father died of illness——

Jun Qixiu and I accompanied Miao Xiu and the others, and waited for nearly eight hours at the door of the operating room before Miao Xiu's father was finally rescued from death.He was rolled out of the operating room, and immediately rolled out to the ICU.

The doctor who came out of the operating room told us that Miao Xiu's father's health is not optimistic and needs to be closely observed in the ICU.

Just as the doctor told Miao Xiu about their situation at the first time, after the operation, the doctor told us the current situation of Miao Xiu's father in detail again.

The trauma of the car accident was so severe that the rootless rib in the chest was broken and inserted into the lung, causing blood to accumulate in the lung and then infected.After thoracotomy, the blood in the lungs was cleared out. However, the most seriously injured brain was hit directly to the ground, and the cerebral effusion flowed out from the ear canal. During the operation, 22 stitches were stitched.

Not only that, the facial features were deformed, the bridge of the nose was fractured, the eyes were tilted, and the soft tissues of the whole body were contused.

Now in a coma, it is still unknown whether he can wake up, but there is still hope that he can get through the difficulty smoothly.

Finally, the doctor told us the most serious problems.

Because of the special location of the tumor in Miaoxiu's father's spine and bone marrow, surgery cannot be performed directly, and it can only be gradually improved through later chemotherapy.

I accompanied Miao Xiu and listened to the doctor's orders one by one, but the more I listened, the hands gradually trembled from fear.

However, Miao Xiu who was standing beside me, as a direct family member of the patient, had a calm expression on his face. He was very quiet from the beginning to the end, listening to all the doctor's words in his ears.He nodded every time the doctor said a word.

Miao Lan, the second sister of a strong woman in Miaoxiu, couldn't help crying in her mother's arms. Her brother, who was five years older than me and always mature and stable, had red eyes and touched his breast pocket in bewilderment, shaking his hands for a long time When she found a cigarette and ran out to smoke, Miao Xiu had no expression on her face, calmly like a robot without any emotion.

There was no tremor in his voice, and he carefully asked the doctor about the recovery method in the later stage.

In the eyes of outsiders, Miao Xiu is already going crazy with fear, or he thinks that the deep relationship between him and his father is a lie. He was happily waiting with his feet up for his father's death.

However, only I, who is an insider, can clearly see what Miao Xiu is thinking at the moment.

From his cognition, he always believed that he could change his father's death and even his mother's death completely by relying on his own efforts. After all, he was also a resurrected person.

In his cognition, the so-called history has changed.

Miao Xiu is different from An Zhizong in many ways, but the only thing they have in common is that they have the incomprehensible confidence in changing the past.

However, there is still a trace of calmness in his reason.This calmness made him worry about his father's critical illness.

Under his calm face, there was a thin layer of cold sweat on the back under the clothes I patted and stroked.

The people waiting in the corridor lost their calmness and could only rely on Miao Xiu to direct and arrange for Miao's father to be taken care of in the hospital in the future.

During the first three days of Miao Xiu's father's hospitalization, Miao Xiu personally took care of him in the hospital.On the set, he asked his assistant to take three days off. After the other leading actors had finished their roles, he would shoot the rest of his part alone in post-production.

Three days later, it was the turn of the rest of Miao's family to look after Miao's father together with the nurse, while he rushed back to the set to film.There was no rest for dozens of days in a row, and I rushed to finish all the scenes as soon as possible.

From time to time, I would go to the set to look for Miao Xiu, but I saw that the corners of his mouth were turning white, and his complexion was getting paler and uglier.Miao Xiu gradually lost weight.

When he was not filming, he also went to the hospital to see his father from time to time, wishing he could send out another person.

I can't do anything, I can only stay on the sidelines and accompany him through this difficult time.

When I was in the company, I often ran into An Zhizong.

Every time, he looked at me with a sneer, without saying a word, as if he was waiting to watch an upcoming good show.

After Miao Xiu non-stop filmed "Leaving from Your World", a time-travel TV series of the Republic of China, she turned down other advertising contracts and film and television invitations at hand, and devoted herself to taking care of Miao's father who was in a coma and because of Miao's father. And the sick mother Miao.

A week later—

Father Miao's condition has stabilized, and he was transferred from the ICU to the general ward. Although he is not yet awake, his heartbeat and other physical indicators are approaching normal numbers.

The doctor also told Miaoxiu's family the news worth celebrating.

When I went to see Miao Xiu's father, Miao Xiu was in the hospital that day, holding a towel in his hand, and there was a washbasin filled with warm water on the bedside table, and he was about to wipe his face and body for Miao's father.

In a corner of the ward, Miao Xiu's older sister, Miao Lan, was sitting on the sofa by the corner, peeling apples.There was peace and harmony in the ward.

I knocked lightly on the door until Miao Xiu answered, and then I opened the door and walked in.

"Miao Xiu, how is Uncle Miao?"

Put the bought fruit and milk on the table, leaning towards the bed.

Miao Xiu turned his head and smiled at me for the first time in a week. Although the smile was indifferent, the smile in his eyes clearly told me that Miao's father's condition had improved a lot.

This is good news, so Miao Xiu looks radiant at the moment.

"That's good."

Because Miao Xiu wanted to lift up Miao's father's clothes, Miao Lan and I couldn't be present, so we had to temporarily leave the room and stand in the corridor.

It was noon at this time, most of the patients were taking a nap in the ward, no one passed by in the corridor, and the surrounding was quiet.

I stood in the corridor with Miao Xiu's second sister, we didn't talk for a while, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

I quietly looked at Miao Lan at the side.She was digging into her bag, and after a while she took out a pack of cigarettes, but she seemed to think that this was a hospital, so she quickly stuffed the cigarettes back.

"How long have you known Axiu?"

When I was in a daze, Miao Lan suddenly asked me at the side.

I froze for a moment, but answered truthfully.

"A few months, almost half a year."

This is the first time that I have been attached to An Zhizong's body to talk face-to-face with Miao Xiu's second sister. The last time I talked to her was the day after Miao Xiu's death in my previous life.

At that time, Miao Lan only said two words to me and two big slaps in the face, which made my face turn red, and my teeth were bleeding from the lips.

To this day, when I face Miao Lan alone, I can still feel the burning pain on my face.

At that time, her first words were.

"When Ah Xiu died, were you there?"

The second sentence is.

"Axiu died because of you?"

Just two sentences were enough to let me know that she had already known Miao Xiu's feelings for me at that time.

That was the first time that Miao Lan, who had always been gentle with me, never blushed, and loved me like a younger brother, lost her temper with me.

In the following years, Miao Lan went abroad, and I never saw Miao Lan again.

After a few years, it was rare to hear Miao Lan's voice asking me so gently again. I couldn't help being lost in thought, and stared blankly at her.

The nostalgia and guilt in my heart once again hit me overwhelmingly.

Miao Lan heard my answer, and then saw my dazed eyes, and the eyes became softer.

"Is my expression too serious? I'm sorry if it scares you. Axiu often says that my expression is scary when I'm not smiling, but I can't help it, I'm used to it."

Miao Lan smiled, tucking the hair that fell on the side of her cheeks behind her fair ears.

I looked at her warm smile silently and didn't speak for a while.

Miao Lan is a beauty, although her style of acting is tough, but in the end, she is just a woman, and she still has a soft side that belongs to a woman in her bones.

How long has it been since I saw Miao Lan smiling like this?

Miao Lan asked me again.

"Actually, I have seen the photos in Miao Xiu's room. It should be taken by you and Miao Xiu in City N last month. The person Miao Xiu likes is you, right?"

I didn't nod or deny it.

When Miao Lan asked me this way, I couldn't figure out her attitude towards this matter for a while.

After being silent for a while, I still replied.

"Yes."

After I said this word, Miao Lan didn't speak any more.

There was another terrible silence between them.

Finally, Miao Lan sighed.

"I don't know what to say. Logically, I should feel angry, but facing you, I don't think it's necessary. I don't care about the matter between you. And, to be honest , even if you force Ah Xiu to like women, he may not feel happy. I'm afraid that in the end, he will blame us instead. "

As she said this, I caught her eyes resting unconsciously on the fingers.

There was a circle of marks on the finger, obviously something was worn before but now it was taken off.

That's a wedding ring.

Still divorced?

It wasn't until I saw Miao Lan staring at me in surprise that I realized that I had unintentionally confided what was in my heart just now.

Miao Lan was angry and laughed, and finally all expressions returned to calm.

Before she entered the ward, she walked by my side and just said this to me.

"Whether you like Axiu or not, please don't hurt him. But, I think you should like Axiu."

I asked why.

She smiled and pointed to my face.

"Haven't you looked in the mirror? Go back and look in the mirror and see your face."

Look in the mirror, huh?

When we were alone with Miao Xiu, Miao Xiu rested on my shoulder, sleeping peacefully, but I stared at my face carefully with a small mirror.

An Zhizong's face in the mirror didn't seem to have changed much.

What exactly is Miao Lan talking about?
