Difficult to heal

The phone rang three times, Lu Shu spat out the toothpaste foam, wiped it with a towel, and answered it.

"I haven't woken up yet, what time is it?" A deep and angry voice came from the other end, "Mom repeatedly told me last night that there are too many people in the hospital, and I have to wait until next week after the appointment time."

"mom."

"What I say goes in your left ear and out of your right ear, right? If it weren't for your dad and I being too busy these two days—"

"Mom!" Lu Shu pinched the center of his eyebrows and interrupted Ms. Shen Han's machine gun, "I got up, and I didn't have time to pick up the wash just now. You are busy with your work, don't worry about us."

"Who cares if I don't worry? I don't care how you grow up so big?"

Lu Shu sighed, feeling that Ms. Shen should be about to enter menopause, and recently she could blow up her hair without saying a word, and when she got anxious, she could scold the three men in the family so much that she didn't dare to fart.

He couldn't afford it, and surrendered: "Okay, I know, you have paid too much for this family, we all know, I went to have breakfast, and you also said that you can't be late, so hang up first."

After speaking, he immediately turned off the phone, probably because Shen Han was really busy there, so he didn't call back to teach him a lesson.

Walking out of the bathroom, the kitchen door was just pushed open, and a strong fragrance wafted out from the door.

Chu Qinjiang walked to the dining table with eggs, toast and milk, and said, "Yan, have breakfast."

Lu Shu looked at his outfit up and down, stayed on the light blue plaid apron around his waist for a few seconds, walked over to take a sip of milk, and asked with great interest, "You did it?"

After waking up, he passed the kitchen and found Chu Qinjiang busy in it, he didn't intervene out of curiosity, he didn't expect to be able to make two breakfasts.

Chu Qinjiang was a little embarrassed and said: "Auntie, I only want to heat it up."

Lu Shu smiled and helped him take off the apron: "It's great."

The two sat down and began to eat breakfast.

Since a long time ago, except for winter and summer vacations, they have been like this every weekend.

Shen Han made breakfast and asked them to get up. After eating, they accompanied Chu Qinjiang to the hospital for rehabilitation. If Lu Mingheng was at home, the four of them would go together.

After rehabilitation, the adults take them out to play when they have time, and they don't have time to go home to rest.

In seven years, more than 2000 days and nights, they accompanied each other in this way.

Chu Qinjiang ate very elegantly, chewing and swallowing slowly.

Shen Han and Lu Shu are neither of this type, but they probably learned it from Lu Mingheng.

Lu Shu stared at Chu Qinjiang, watching him cut the egg toast into small pieces, put them into his mouth piece by piece with a fork, and take a sip of milk after eating.

His movements are methodical, gentle and calm, and he can be seen at a glance that he has been carefully cultivated.

Look at yourself again, holding the toast with your left hand, and holding the cup with your right hand, the milk will bottom out after a few sips.As for the egg, he had already stuffed it into his mouth with a chopstick.

Lu Shu, who has been a hero for 17 years, suddenly felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable at this moment.

Growing up under the same roof, how can there be such a big difference.

He put down the toast, and followed Chu Qinjiang's example, eating with a fork in small bites, about a third of the time he ate, and felt like an idiot.

Woke up early in the morning to study eating patterns?

What's wrong with men being bold and unrestrained?

Who will say?Who dares to say?

Lu Shu, you are sick.

He cursed himself a few words, stuffed the toast into his mouth indiscriminately, and then downed the milk in two or three gulps.

well.

comfortable.

"Yan, what's the matter?" Xuan Qinjiang, who watched the whole process, was puzzled, "Breakfast, isn't it delicious?"

"No." Lu Shu wiped his mouth and raised his chin, "You eat yours, we will take a taxi later."

"it is good."

Lu Shu had already finished eating, so Chu Qinjiang naturally wouldn't let him wait too long and speed up his meal.

Fifteen minutes later, the two boarded a taxi to the hospital.

"Where do you want to go later?" Lu Shu asked.

Chu Qinjiang rolled down the car window partly, and the warm wind blew on his face. It finally stopped raining today.

"What about you?" he asked.

"I can do it." Lu Shu stretched out his hand and put a bluetooth headset by his ear.

Smart light music came into the ears, it was Joe Hisaishi, Kikujiro's summer.

There were times when Chu Qinjiang would suddenly show restlessness and resistance on the way to rehabilitation, no matter how Shen Han coaxed him, it was useless.

At this time, Lu Shu would give him one of his own earphones, soothe him with music, and listen with him.

The posture was a bit awkward, Lu Shu fiddled with it for a while before plugging in the earphones, and when he was about to withdraw his hand, Chu Qinjiang turned his head.

Caught off guard, Lu Shu felt something lightly rubbing the most sensitive part of his wrist.

It wasn't until the warm breath came out and clung to the skin that he realized that it was Chu Qinjiang's lips.

As if being scorched, he suddenly withdrew his hand, and even put it behind his back to hide it.

On the contrary, Xiu Qinjiang was startled, and couldn't help but pull his wrist in front of him again, and asked nervously, "Does it hurt?"

Chu Qinjiang pressed his fingertips on his wrist, maximizing the tactility of the skin, and he even rubbed it lightly.

Lu Shu tensed up like clockwork, like a furry animal.

The burning sensation turned into numbness and spread deep into the blood along the veins.

The heart pounded hard in the chest.

Lu Shu felt that he might really be sick.

"...It's okay." He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and made up a lie, "It might be static electricity."

Withdrawing his wrist, he turned the volume of the headset to the maximum, as if this could cover his beating heartbeat like a drum.

"What did you want to say just now?" Lu Shu spoke casually, trying to divert attention.

"It's loud, it hurts your ears." Chu Qinjiang pressed the button on his phone, turned the volume back, and said, "I want to go to the game hall."

"Well, go to the game hall." Lu Shu said, and then added, "You can go anywhere you want."

—

After getting off the car, Lu Shu finally returned to normal.

As for his recent behavior of being startled and falling ill from time to time, he guessed that it was the end of the period and the psychological problems caused by the heavy mental pressure.

Just go back and eat some peace of mind.

The hospital has a specially built rehabilitation building, and the brain surgery department is on the third floor. I made an appointment in advance, and it didn't take long for me to be in the queue for Chu Qinjiang.

"Go, I'll wait for you outside." Lu Shu touched his head, "Don't be afraid."

Chu Qinjiang nodded, turned around and followed the nurse into the rehabilitation room.

This kind of rehabilitation treatment process is fully enclosed, and only patients, doctors and nurses are allowed to be present inside, and family members are not allowed to enter.

Fortunately, Chu Qinjiang was rehabilitated by a very gentle and cheerful sister, and he was relatively relaxed.

"Come here?" The doctor smiled and pointed to the chair, "Sit down, have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten." Chu Qinjiang sat opposite her.

"Don't be nervous. I just read your last test form and various inspection results. It is much better than before, and the language function has recovered, which is considered to be a great improvement." The doctor handed over a glass of water and said, "Don't worry, let's take our time."

"Yes." Chu Qinjiang took it and thanked him.

"Okay, let's get started then."

..........

The rehabilitation process will take about two hours. Lu Shu sat on the corridor outside, not playing with his mobile phone, just leaning against the back and listening to music, quietly waiting for Chu Qinjiang to come out.

It was still early, and there were not many family members of the patient. There were a few whispered conversations from time to time, but it was not noisy. Lu Shu stared at the white wall and gradually lost his mind.

In fact, it has been a long time, so long that even the specific details of the original accident have become blurred.

He suddenly couldn't remember exactly what posture Chu Qinjiang fell in.

Time adds a layer of hazy filter to the past, throwing it in the corner and turning it into ashes.

Lu Shu occasionally lied to himself, all of this was the result of following the normal trajectory, there was no rift between him and Chu Qinjiang that was deliberately covered up.

It's a pity that the reality is difficult for him to lie to himself for too long, and the fabricated illusion can't even finish a dream.

As long as he stood on this long corridor, he knew that he couldn't make it through.

What is blurred by time is only the details, but the traces cannot be erased, just like the scar on Chu Qinjiang's forehead, no matter how light it becomes, it will never disappear.

So that every time Lu Shu touched his head, he would choose to avoid it as much as possible.

There are always sharp edges and corners in the past, which can make you fall head-to-head inadvertently.

It was he himself who turned Xiu Qinjiang into this.

..........

Lu Shu put his elbows on his knees and tugged on his collar. He was clearly wearing a loose sweater, but he felt a little difficult to breathe.

After waiting for a while and still not recovering, Lu suddenly got up and went to the elevator.

Only the outpatient hall of this hospital is equipped with vending machines. Lu Shu walked through the bustling crowd and buildings, walked to the vending machine in the hall, and bought two bottles of water.

Unscrew the cap of the bottle, gulp down half the bottle, and finally feel better.

After drinking the water, he leaned against the wall in a daze.

The smell of disinfectant here is a bit stronger, and there are many people, adults, old people and children, and there are noisy voices everywhere. The disgusting environment can make him lose his emotions quickly.

After finishing the remaining half of the bottle of water, he was about to go back to the rehabilitation building when a figure floated by from the corner of his eye.

A little familiar, he looked in the direction, there were too many people, and it was impossible to see clearly.

I searched around, but didn't see anyone familiar.

A small episode was not enough for him to stay for too long, Lu Shu left the outpatient hall.

Two hours later, Chu Qinjiang came out of the rehabilitation room, except for looking a little more tired than before, there was no difference.

"How do you feel?" Lu Shu handed over the bought water.

Every time he came out, Lu Shu would ask this question.

And Chu Qinjiang was still the same as before, seriously replied: "Very well, don't worry, Yan."

"Yeah." Lu Shu touched the back of his neck, "If you're tired, go home and rest, and go to the game hall next time."

"Not tired." Chu Qinjiang pressed the elevator, took a sip of water to moisturize his throat, "Go, I want to go."

However, saying so, God did not give face.

Thousands of miles of clear skies turned cloudy in the blink of an eye, as if the sunny sky last second was an illusion of everyone, and within 2 minutes, pea-sized rainwater poured down.

Chu Qinjiang said helplessly, "Yan, do you have an umbrella?"

Lu Shu looked down at his phone: "The rain won't stop for a while, so let's take a taxi and go home."

"Ah."

Chu Qinjiang stretched out his hand, and the raindrops hit the back of his hand, making it a little cold.

As if he didn't care, he whispered: "Yan, you are not happy."

Lu Shu flicked his phone, didn't look up, and didn't make a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Qinjiang said again: "I didn't, I blamed you."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, pouring on the ground and the roof, as if composing a symphony.

At that moment, Lu Shu thought he had heard wrong.

He raised his head in surprise, but before meeting Chu Qinjiang's eyes, there was a sudden loud sound not far away.

Pedestrians who were running to avoid the rain collided accidentally, and an aunt was knocked to the ground. The young guy who hit the person stood for a while, and wanted to leave directly, but the aunt grabbed his trouser leg and complained angrily in dialect.

The boy had a dark face and wanted to pull out the trouser legs, but the other party tried his best, and the whole person stuck to it, as if he wanted to touch porcelain.

"You fucking want to extort money! Let go!"

"Hey, do you have a conscience? Do you understand respecting the old and caring for the young? Let's help him up first."

"Looking at Zhou Zheng alone, why is he so wicked?"

As soon as a farce unfolded, there was no shortage of people watching the play under heavy rain.

During the pushing and wrestling, Lu Shu recognized the man, and at the same time thought of the figure he had just glimpsed in the hall.

——It’s Deng Yuan.
