love like a shooting star

6.

Shi Jin fell into a deep nightmare.The pain has become numb, and the consciousness is not very clear. In the muddle, it seems to see the god of death dragging a black robe looking for him everywhere.Beside the bed, Wu Liuyi was so anxious that he was going crazy, regretting what he said to Shi Jin last night.Knowing that Gao Cheng's marriage had left a wound in Shi Jin's heart, and he undoubtedly sprinkled salt on the wound.At this moment, Shi Jin's cheeks were hot but his hands and feet were cold, and he had fallen into a deep coma.Wu Liuyi anxiously looked at his watch, why didn't the ambulance come yet!

On the way to the hospital, Shi Jin actually opened his eyes in the ambulance, and Wu Liuyi tightly held his hand as if afraid that he would fly away.Shi Jin smiled weakly at the corner of his mouth: "It's just a fever, what kind of hospital did you go to..." Wu Liuyi didn't speak, and looked directly at Shi Jin's eyes with red eyes, Shi Jin couldn't laugh anymore , When he was about to reach the hospital, he was drowsy and fell asleep again.

Wu Liuyi walked through the corridors of the hospital with a group of doctors and nurses. Looking through the gaps between the figures, Shi Jin, who was pushing the bed, had a calm and unreal pale face.With an oxygen mask over his face, he was apparently unconscious.

The medical staff worked together to push the push bed into the emergency room, and the two doors closed with a bang, and Wu Liuyi was isolated from the door.He wanted to go in, slapped the door hard a few times, and pushed the door hard, but the door was locked from the inside.

"What are you doing!" A nurse came over angrily to stop her, but she couldn't help softening her tone when she saw Wu Liuyi's expression clearly, "Sir, please wait outside."

"Let me go in and have a look, I want to look at him." Wu Liuyi looked bewildered.

The nurse sighed sympathetically: "The patient is being rescued, the family members are waiting outside."

Wu Liuyi gradually recovered from his irritability and anxiety, and sat down on the bench at the door of the emergency room as if exhausted. The nurse saw that he was no longer trying to force his way, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, he will be fine. "

The nurse left, leaving Wu Liuyi alone in a daze.Although the word "family" in the nurse's mouth should be understood as the patient's relatives and friends in a broad sense, Wu Liuyi still couldn't help feeling sad.He feels pitiful and ridiculous, no matter what he does, Shi Jin will only treat him as a good brother. At this time, Shi Jin really wants to be with someone else.Self-confessed, pitiful and ridiculous guy, he scolded himself in his heart, but didn't regret it.Wu Liuyi thought desolately, monitor, I am just like you, self-inflicted and hopeless.

The door of the emergency room opened and closed, and occasionally doctors and nurses came in and out. Wu Liuyi sat blankly, not wanting to rush in again.The figure in front of him was shaking, and he didn't have the strength to stop someone from asking something. Occasionally, someone would cast a caring and sympathetic look, but he was indifferent.The rescue lasted for nearly an hour. The door of the emergency room opened again. The attending doctor came out, took off his mask and shouted, "Shi Jin's family!"

After staying in one position for too long, Wu Liuyi's whole body was numb. When he heard the doctor shouting, he instinctively wanted to stand up, but fell back on the chair.He slowed down a bit before he could stand slowly while leaning on the wall, and looked at the doctor without saying a word.

"Are you from Shijin...?" The doctor looked at Wu Liuyi and asked hesitantly.

"Comrade-in-arms."

The doctor frowned slightly: "Where are his family members?"

"They are all in the countryside. He has no relatives in Beijing, and he doesn't want to tell his family about his illness. Just tell me if you have anything."

"...Okay then." The doctor hesitated and said, "His illness is very serious, and his life may be in danger at any time. You have to be mentally prepared. It is best to inform his family. He is too weak. It is not suitable for chemotherapy at present, and we can only adopt conservative methods to barely maintain it."

"I know." Wu Liu nodded.

"The patient still has a fever, and all the signs and indicators are abnormal, so he must be hospitalized. If there is no problem, you can go through the formalities."

"Okay, I'll go right away, thank you." Wu Liuyi turned around and walked quickly to the payment window.

At this time, a nurse came out of the emergency room, looked at the empty corridor, and asked the doctor, "Are there any other family members?"

The doctor shook his head and whispered a few words to the nurse, and the nurse called a few nurses and hurriedly pushed Shi Jinxian to the ward, leaving the doctor standing there alone in thought.

When Wu Liuyi came back after completing the hospitalization procedures, the emergency room had already locked the door.The head nurse waited outside the door and informed Wu Liuyi that the patient had been sent to the ward.Wu Liuyi said thank you and rushed to the ward immediately.

When passing by the nurse's station, the two young nurses looked at him, their eyes following the tall figure obsessively.The head nurse came over and said, "Don't look, I have someone in my heart."

The two nurses exchanged glances, and one of them said, "We know, it's the one lying in the ward."

The head nurse stared: "Don't spread the word, be careful to let others know."

The little nurse curled her lips: "You don't need to pass it on, anyone with long eyes can see it, and I don't think he minds other people's opinions."

Another little nurse said: "He was really kind to that person. It was touching to see him. In fact, it's the same with feelings. As long as he is sincere, he deserves respect."

Earlier, the little nurse said softly in a regretful tone: "It's a pity that the man is terminally ill, and he will be so sad when he really dies someday... Sigh, the love doesn't know where it started, and as it goes on and on, the survivors can... Death, death can lead to life. Those who are born but cannot meet death, and those who die but cannot be resurrected are not the result of emotion."

The head nurse knocked on the table helplessly: "Is it over yet?"

The two little nurses blushed a little and hurriedly lowered their heads to work.

Shi Jin hadn't woken up when Wu Liuyi entered the ward.This is a four-person room, but currently only one patient, Shi Jin, lives in it.Shi Jin had an oxygen mask on his mouth, a monitoring instrument on his body, and an infusion needle on his hand. His whole body was surrounded by various tubes, and he looked extremely thin.On the LCD screen of the monitoring instrument, there are jumping curves and regular sounds.

Wu Liuyi looked at Shi Jin's face without blinking, refused to look away, and held the hand that was not stuck with the infusion needle, and slowly sat on the stool beside the hospital bed.It was like preparing for a protracted war, just quietly waiting for Shi Jin to wake up.Shi Jin's face was as pale as paper, his thick eyelashes cast small shadows on his eyelids, his nose was hidden under the quilt, his breathing was so shallow that it was almost invisible.Wu Liuyi tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and was afraid of blocking his breath, so he pulled the quilt down a little before sitting back on the stool.During the period, a nurse came in to change the medicine for the infusion, and Wu Liuyi also maintained this posture without moving. The nurse didn't dare to look at it, and left in embarrassment after finishing her work.

When Shi Jin woke up, it was already dark night outside the window, and the strong wind swept across the city. A whimper resembling howling ghosts and wolves came from afar, accompanied by the mechanical and monotonous sound of monitoring instruments, which made people feel desolate.He glanced at the clock on the wall, it was 01:30 in the morning.

Wu Liuyi was sitting by the bed like a statue, Shi Jin was surprised at first, then sighed, and wanted to take off the oxygen mask, but found that one hand was being infused, while the other hand was tightly held by someone .Wu Liuyi realized that Shi Jin had woken up, surprise burst out in his eyes, and he finally recovered from the long-term stiffness, a little at a loss.Shi Jin's eyes flickered, looking at the obstructive oxygen mask, Wu Liuyi understood, and reached out to help him take it off.

"I've said it's all right, what are you doing with such a big battle?" Shi Jin curled his mouth, smiling like a child.

Wu Liuben's bloodshot eyes instantly turned red, as if he was trying to suppress something, but his voice was choked up: "It's nothing, so why do you call it something? Someday you really have something to do.. ..." He stood up suddenly and turned his back suddenly, his shoulders trembled, and then he stubbornly raised his head.

Shi Jin couldn't help feeling soft in his heart, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Wu Liuyi took a deep breath, and still turned his back to Shi Jin: "I'm fine, I'm really fine, don't say I'm sorry, I'm willing to do anything for you, but you have to think for yourself, monitor, I really want to spend my whole life with you." Go on like this, and then he doesn't know anything? You..." Wu Liuyi became a little incoherent when he became excited.

Shi Jin sighed, and said softly: "I can't drag him down, I can't cause him trouble, it's not good if I really want to pierce the window paper. He is already married and will have a child in the future. This is the way he should go. .”

"Then where is your way? Where is your way? You're going to have nowhere to go, monitor..." In fact, Wu Liuyi wanted to say that his child was about to be born as you wished, but he really didn't have the courage to tell Shi Jin , if possible, Wu Liuyi hopes that Shi Jin will never know.

They remained silent for the rest of the time.On this cold and windy night, Wu Liuyi's eyes lingered on Shi Jin's face repeatedly. Later, Shi Jin couldn't bear the heavy power in those eyes, so he had to say Liu Yi, don't look at me. The one who is sorry is you.Wu Liuyi laughed at himself, monitor, you are very kind to me, but you are too cruel to yourself.

The infusion continued the next day, and Shi Jin's fever subsided by noon, so he told Wu Liuyi that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital.Wu Liuyi begged him with a bitter face, monitor, let's stay for another two days at least.Shi Jin smiled all of a sudden, and if he does, he will be discharged from the hospital in two days.Wu Liuyi was completely speechless.

Wu Liuyi asked for leave from the unit, and let other colleagues take over the security work first, but sometimes things just happen to be so coincidental.On this day, Gao Cheng suddenly felt a little lost when he thought of the brief reunion with Wu Liuyi.Too rushed, should sit down and have a glass of wine and have a good chat.He felt that he still had a lot to ask Wu Liuyi, but after thinking about it, he didn't know where to start.An inexplicable panic lingers in my heart, and the source of this panic comes from a person named Shi Jin.Gao Cheng faintly felt that he was being concealed about something, and only Wu Liuyi could explain it to him.What is the reason for Shi Jin's avoidance all these years, did he hurt him...

Gao Cheng closed his eyes fiercely and then opened them again, not letting himself think about it.He took out the note that Wu Liuyi wrote to himself last time from his pocket, and pressed that string of numbers on his phone.

......

——Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off.

The heart tightened and relaxed for a moment.Gao Cheng frowned slightly, called again, but still turned off the phone.

I don't know why I was so flustered, I just turned off the phone, maybe the phone is out of battery, or it's inconvenient to pick it up right now.Gao Cheng didn't sleep well all night because of the unreachable phone call, feeling something was wrong in his heart, and drove directly to the gate of the community of his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house the next morning, but he didn't come to visit his wife who was about to give birth.

He stood outside the security guard and looked in through the glass window, but he didn't see Wu Liuyi.A young man pushed the door open and asked with a smile, "Who are you looking for?"

Gao Cheng also smiled politely: "Excuse me, what time does Wu Liuyi go to work today?"

"Oh, Brother Liuyi asked for leave. Are you his friend? What's the matter?"

Gao Cheng was stunned, thinking what was wrong, the phone was turned off and the person asked for leave, so nothing happened.Seeing that the young man was still waiting for his answer with sincerity, he said, "It's nothing. It's just that his cell phone keeps turning off and he can't be contacted. I'm worried. Well, do you know where he lives?"

The young man looked at Gao Cheng with a trace of vigilance in his eyes.It is obvious that there is some intention to inquire about someone's address, don't be a liar.

Gao Cheng knew it was a misunderstanding, and quickly explained: "I am his former company commander, Gao Cheng, didn't he tell you? Oh, my father-in-law lives in this community, and Liu Yi and I happened to meet here a few days ago. , I left my mobile phone number at the time, but I can’t get through if I try to contact him in the past few days.”

The young man suddenly realized and smiled again: "It turns out to be Company Commander Gao. Brother Liuyi often mentions you, and you sit inside and sit inside." He opened the door and warmly invited Gao Cheng into the room.

"Thank you, I won't sit down anymore." Gao Cheng stood still and said, "Can you tell me the address of Liu's family?"

"No problem, just wait a minute." The young man went back to the room and quickly wrote a note, took it out and handed it to Gao Cheng, "It's here. Brother Liuyi was in a hurry when he asked for leave, and he only said that he was in a hurry, Company Commander Gao Don't worry too much."

Gao Cheng nodded and said very sincerely, "Thank you."

"Then, I won't delay you."

Gao Cheng waved at the young man, turned and left.The young man watched Gao Cheng's figure go away, then closed the door and went back into the house.

......

The environment became increasingly noisy, the asphalt road on the ground was full of potholes and cracks, and the garbage can smelled of rotting vegetable leaves.The atmosphere of the high-end residential area is completely different from that of his father-in-law's house. Gao Cheng looked up at the typical brick building in the 90s of the last century, and couldn't help but feel guilty.This is Liu Yi's residence.Once the most vigorous soldier of the No. [-] Steel Company, he dedicated the best years of his life to the barracks, and was forced to retire because of a leg injury. Now he is trapped in this world of mortals, and his situation is so bleak.It's because I, the company commander, didn't make a good job and failed to take good care of my soldiers.Recalling Wu Liuyi's stubborn appearance when he refused to accept the position of chief secretary, Gao Cheng was full of helplessness and sadness.

It was dinner time, and Gao Cheng went upstairs along the stairs with smoke from every house.The corridor is narrow and cramped, filled with all kinds of sundries, the dim light shrouded people's mood even more gloomy.Gao Cheng followed the address to the third floor and rang the doorbell.

No one opened the door, Gao Cheng continued to press, but still no one.The frequent ringing of the doorbell disturbed the neighbors, and someone poked his head out from the living room opposite, an elderly man.

"Hello, old man." Gao Cheng greeted politely, "Do you know where the people of this family have gone?" The old man's wrinkled face showed a gloomy expression, he looked at Gao Cheng twice, and threw out three words coldly: " I don't know." Then he slammed the door shut.Gao Cheng got his nose turned gray for no reason, and couldn't help cursing, what kind of neighbors are these!

There was a sound of footsteps in a daze, and a man and woman who looked like a married couple appeared at the stairs, carrying big bags and small bags in their hands, who seemed to have just returned from shopping.When they saw Gao Cheng, the expression on their faces could be called weird, and they still kept whispering to each other as they hurried upstairs.

Gao Cheng went downstairs angrily, what's wrong?Living here on Liu Yi seems to be very unpopular.Why is he not at home?Where did people go? ...Gao Cheng didn't intend to leave just like this full of doubts, so he went downstairs and asked people about Wu Liuyi's situation.The winter nights came early, people were mostly indoors, and the road below was empty.Occasionally, when a few people who came back from get off work late heard who Gao Cheng wanted to inquire about, they all shook their heads and said they were not familiar with this person.

It is true that they are unfamiliar, they are indeed not familiar with Wu Liuyi.However, the reason for the unfamiliarity is that you don't want to get close at all.Gao Cheng could tell that the people here regarded Wu Liuyi as an outlier and deliberately alienated him.Just when he was confused, someone called him from behind.The voice came in the cold wind, and it seemed a little light.

"Comrade." The man chose this title because of Gao Cheng's military uniform.

Gao Cheng turned around and saw the window behind him open, and a man was standing at the window. He is in his 40s, wearing glasses with metal rims. The years have carved some traces of vicissitudes on his face, but it can be seen that this man was handsome when he was young.

"Hello." Gao Cheng greeted politely.

The man smiled slightly: "Hi, I'm Wu Liuyi's landlord, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Gao Cheng couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised, and was moved by the kind eyes behind the lens, and said: "Then disturb."
