Stereotypes

In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend.

Dad woke up early in the morning to wake up Tang Gu and grandma, and drove them to the gate of the hospital without even saying hello.

"What are you doing?" Tang Gu asked him.

"What nonsense, get out of the car." Dad said angrily.

Tang Gu helped grandma get out of the car.

The condition of this hospital in the urban area is quite good. It was a little sunny today, and there were many patients in hospital gowns and down jackets walking on the lawn.

Dad handed Tang Gu the medical insurance card, and then took her to the neurology department.

Tang Gu stood at the door and waited.Suddenly there was an inexplicable panic in his heart, which surged up in bursts, and the chilly wind that gushed in from the half-opened window at the stairway scattered and penetrated into his densely packed blood vessels and nerves.

For Dad, he is still a child, so there is no need to discuss the important matter of bringing grandma to see a doctor in advance.

Tang Gu sighed, clutching his grandmother's medical insurance card tightly, feeling chills all over his body.

After ten minutes, Dad came out with grandma.

"Tang Xin, if you have a lot of homework today, you should go back first. Your father doesn't know what's going on. I just have a bad memory. Is there anything to check..."

Grandma looked at Dad with a little displeasure as she spoke.

Tang Xin is my father's name.

Tang Gu took a deep breath: "Grandma, you called me wrong again, I am Tang Gu."

"Yeah, Tanggu." Grandma responded casually.

"I'm going to take my grandma for a CT scan and RT." Dad walked beside him and said in a low voice, "The doctor said grandma might be dementia."

Tang Gu stood there in a daze.

Until his father and grandma walked away, he was still there in a daze.

The previous panic had inexplicably turned into a reason.Tang Gu felt uncomfortable in his stomach, as if it wasn't the stomach, but the stomach.For the stomach, it means the intestines are uncomfortable.He thought in a mess, and finally asked himself, what will happen to grandma?

The doctor said that grandma might be, so is it possible that she is not?

If it is true, what will grandma do in the future? Will she slowly lose her memory?

He took out his mobile phone and typed word by word on Baidu.

Aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, impairment of visuospatial skills, cognitive impairment... Tang Gu thought of his grandmother's confusion in doing housework and often calling the wrong name recently, and his heart beat violently.

You should have thought of it long ago, Tang Gu, why didn't you think of it?

After sitting on the cold stone steps for a long time, my father and grandmother finally came back.

Tang Gu stood up regardless of the numbness in his legs, and walked towards his father: "How is it?"

"It is said that the cerebral cortex is shrinking or something. It is still in the mild stage. Just go back and eat more food to nourish the brain." Dad forced a smile, "Let's go, let's go back."

"It's going to get worse slowly, isn't it?" Tang Gu asked him.

"Tang Gu, there is no cure for this disease, we can only..." Dad didn't say any more.

I can only watch helplessly as she loses her memory day by day, becomes more and more confused, and finally doesn't even recognize Tang Gu.

"I see." Tang Gu walked to grandma, smiled at her, and took her hand, "Let's go home."

Grandma's education level is not high, and she hardly listens to the two of them seriously. She also smiled and touched Tang Gu's head: "My Tang Gu has grown so tall and so big all of a sudden."

This time it was right.

While waiting for the elevator, Tang Gu turned his head inadvertently, and saw the back of a familiar red and white cold-proof suit under the green sign of Gastroenterology Department.

Qu Zhaoyuan?You can meet him wherever you go.

Right now, Tang Gu's heart is in a mess, and he has no interest in thinking about it, so he quietly looks away.

Qu Zhaoyuan's back disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Qu Zhaoyuan stood at the door of the ward for 5 minutes before he gritted his teeth, turned his hand away and walked in.

All three people who were talking stopped and turned their heads to look at him at the same time.His aunt was the first to react, got up and smiled and gave him a peeled apple.

"It turns out, let's eat an apple."

"Thank you, auntie, no need." Qu Zhaoyuan looked at the old man wearing a breathing mask on the hospital bed, nodded slightly, and called grandpa.

Sitting in front of the hospital bed was his cousin Qu Chaoran, who was also in the third year of junior high school and went to the same school as Qicheng.

Grandpa was lying in a white hospital gown, his weakness and aging could be seen from the bloated, slack and dull skin on his face.He nodded towards Qu Zhaoyuan.

"Zhao Yuan, how's your homework going?" Grandpa asked him, his tone was always indifferent and alienated.

Qu Zhaoyuan told him respectfully that he was participating in a mathematics competition recently, and that he took part in an English...

"Detachment, you don't have time to do your homework when you come to the hospital every day?"

As soon as the word English started, it was interrupted by my grandfather.

Qu Zhaoyuan raised his eyes, watching his grandfather turn his head to Qu Chaoran, his eyes showed concern for him that he had never had before.

"Yes," Qu Chaoran smiled, but when he turned to Qu Zhaoyuan, his expression changed, "Grandpa sees that you are prone to illness, so hurry up and leave."

"Detachment, how did you talk?" Aunt quickly patted Qu Chaoran on the shoulder.

"Well, grandpa likes you the most, hang out with him more, you will recover soon." Qu Zhaoyuan glanced at him, opened the door and walked out.

It wasn't until he walked out of the hospital that Qu Zhaoyuan finally let out the breath he had been holding in his heart since the morning, and he felt much more relaxed.

He went to the bus stop at the entrance of the hospital to wait for the bus. As soon as he stepped on the steps, he saw a person standing up. It was Tang Gu.

His glasses reflected the gray sky light, the sun was out today, and the whole sky was still dirty.

Tang Gu's hair was blown up by the wind blowing from the side of the road, and his expression was cold and heavy, more like a little old man.

"Student Tang Gu, we are really destined." Qu Zhaoyuan smiled at him.

"Are you feeling sick to your stomach?" Tang Gu frowned and stared at him.

"Damn, you won't be following me all the time, will you?"

"Go away, sir, I'm not so boring." Tang Gu felt a little guilty. He didn't take his father's car back and chose to wait for Qu Zhaoyuan at the entrance of the hospital because he thought that Qu Zhaoyuan lived alone. Maybe no one would notice if he got sick. It was a bit bleak. After all, he barely had a relationship with him as a classmate and saw him go to the hospital with his own eyes. It seemed unreasonable not to care.

But when it really came to him himself, he couldn't care anymore.

"Are you waiting for No. 14?" Qu Zhaoyuan asked him.

Tang Gu nodded.

The two got on the No. 14 bus. There were not many people on the bus, but there were no vacancies.Tang Gu stood holding on to the iron pole by the door, and Qu Zhaoyuan was standing beside him.

Tang Gu cast his eyes out of the window, looking at the windows and signs of various shops, and could clearly feel the gaze of someone around him.

The sun seems to be really nice today.

He turned around and watched as a section of sunlight from the roof of the carriage fell on the corner of Qu Zhaoyuan's eyes, making his pupils look like glass balls, and then fell on the bridge of his nose and his thin lips.

"I'm going to compete in other places next week, Director Wang seems to have rented a bus." Qu Zhaoyuan said.

Director Wang is the mustache.

"Let's pass the preliminary exam first." Tang Gu realized that he had been staring at him for too long, so he blinked and looked away calmly.

When approaching the station of Lanyuan Community, Qu Zhaoyuan asked him, "Where do you live?"

"There are still four or five stops, the fourth little one." Tang Gu replied.

"Oh, I know, a friend of mine also lives there." Qu Zhaoyuan said.

Tang Gu didn't speak, thinking, I know.

It wasn't until he got off the car and returned to the community that Qu Zhaoyuan realized that he hadn't asked Tang Gu why he went to the hospital.

It took a day and a half for the first-term exam. Qu Zhaoyuan walked out of the exam room in English, Mathematics, Science, Political History. Baba.

"Let's go, let's eat." Wei Qun jumped up from behind and hugged his shoulders, but due to his lack of height, a section of colorful thermal underwear was exposed inside the sleeve of his jacket.He got off Qu Zhaoyuan's body in a little embarrassment and tugged at his sleeves.

"You go, I'll go home." Qu Zhaoyuan said.

"I really envy the students of the same school. You can decide what you want to eat." Wei Qun exaggeratedly shook his head at him.

"The main reason is that last time Director Wang sent us a copy of the appreciation and analysis of English model essays that I left at home, so I have to go back and get it." Qu Zhaoyuan sighed.

Wei Qun originally walked to the other side, but when he heard this, he ran over again: "By the way, I just met Director Wang, and he asked me to tell you that the bus will stop at the school gate at noon tomorrow, so don't be late at 12:30. "

"understood."

"Fuck, Chen Han is so shameless, I can guess that the bullshit he said in the dormitory before is all fake!" Shen Hao raised his voice in the cafeteria full of people, and then sandwiched angrily He picked up a chicken leg and took a bite.

Duke swallowed sullenly, then raised his head to look at him again: "What did that bird egg say in the dormitory?"

Shen Hao glanced at Tang Gu, who was eating next to him, and was a little embarrassed: "It's all bad words, forget it."

"I said you're really thinking about changing the dormitory, right?" Duke took a sip of the soup from a small bowl and kicked it with his foot.

Tang Gu bit his chopsticks and looked at him, his eyes were confused, and he frowned slightly and made a mouthful: "Huh?"

"Come on, it hasn't come out yet." Duke said, continuing to eat his own.

Shen Hao didn't understand: "What didn't come out?"

"He." Duke knocked on the edge of Tanggu's rice bowl with his chopsticks, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Hao, "Every time I finish an exam, I always stay in my own world for a while. Minutes to fully return to reality."

"That's it," Shen Hao said with a look of admiration, "It's worthy of being a top student."

Tang Gu lowered his head and chewed the rice without saying a word.In fact, I was not thinking about the exam just now, but I was thinking about my grandma, what she is doing at home now, did I forget to take the washed clothes out of the washing machine, did I cook the rice, would my dad know? Losing her temper because of her carelessness... Tang Gu sighed inwardly.

Nothing can be done.

Powerlessness.

I was bored all day, and this state lasted until the end of the competition class.

Qu Zhaoyuan stopped him at the door and told him what Wei Qun had said during the day.

Tang Gu nodded, and just as he was about to leave, Qu Zhaoyuan suddenly stuffed a packet of dried fish in sauce into his palm.

Gray vacuum packaging, a small piece.

"I bought it in an underground supermarket. If you buy too much, I will give you a pack." Qu Zhaoyuan smiled at him, but in his heart he silently disliked what a lame excuse he made.Sitting behind Tang Gu in class today, seeing him distracted repeatedly, he almost held up a sign above his head saying "today's low air pressure".After all, we also worked hard for a few lunch breaks together, and Qu Zhaoyuan didn't want Tang Gu to affect his game ability because of his mood.

Tang Gu put the dried fish in his pocket, and looked at Qu Zhaoyuan's eyes under the corridor lighting through the lens.

"Thanks," he said softly, "good night."

"Good night." Qu Zhaoyuan took out his school card, put it on, and waved to him.

Soon it was "noon tomorrow" that Wei Qun said.Qu Zhaoyuan packed the change of clothes in his schoolbag and got on the bus.

This bus and the driver have eight seats, so it can barely be regarded as a minibus, but Director Wang is very stubborn and says it is a bus.

Wei Qun, two other students and Director Wang occupied two rows of seats.When Qu Zhaoyuan walked in, there was only the last row left.Tang Gu sat by the innermost window.

Qu Zhaoyuan sat down next to him.

"The composition competition will start at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. Since it is a bit far away from the adjacent city, I will take you there to familiarize yourself with the venue." Director Wang said.

Since the last junior high school entrance examination, they have entered a state of alert this time, and public activities such as spring outings and autumn outings are no longer their turn.This time it was finally possible to go out for a walk in the name of a competition, and everyone seemed very excited.The carriage was full of excitement, especially Wei Qun, who insisted on playing a hoarse old love song for everyone.

Tang Gu laughed, and continued to turn over the composition sentence patterns and memorize silently in his heart. Unexpectedly, a cold thing was stuffed into his right ear, followed by a burst of pure music with a monotonous and gentle melody flowing into his ears.

He turned his head and looked at Qu Zhaoyuan smiling at him wearing the other earphone, the white earphone cable was draped softly on their shoulders.

An indescribable special feeling, like a milk cup that has been knocked over, the milky fragrance overflows and spreads to every corner of the body.

It's quite... delicious.

When he opened his eyes again, Tang Gu found himself leaning on Qu Zhaoyuan's shoulder, with the smell of milk and washing powder lingering on his nose.

Milk-flavored laundry detergent?He was thinking about it in a daze, and suddenly woke up, and touched the corner of his mouth with his fingers quietly.

Fortunately, I didn't drool, otherwise my fame would be ruined.

The car was still driving smoothly.Qu Zhaoyuan stared at the small game on the phone and moved his fingers quickly.

It is very difficult to pretend not to be asleep once you wake up.Tang Gu persisted for 5 minutes, finally his neck was sore and he couldn't help moving, and moved his head away from Qu Zhaoyuan's shoulder.

Qu Zhaoyuan didn't seem to respond, and was still concentrating on playing the small game.

A soothing old song is playing in the earphones.

Tang Gu leaned on the back of the chair and turned his head to look at the rows of old trees that had lost their bark but grew new green outside the window. smiling profile.

High nose bridge, good skin.

Future ah Tang Gu.He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When they arrived at the hotel, the school had reserved three double rooms in advance, and Director Wang was very open-minded and let them choose freely.Two students in a class live in one room.

Qu Zhaoyuan said first, "I share a room with Tang Gu."

The rest of Wei Qun had to sleep with Director Wang, and he secretly gave Qu Zhaoyuan a very dissatisfied look.

A few minutes after five o'clock, a few people left their schoolbags and luggage at the hotel, and then went to see the competition venue together.

The location is a key high school with a long history in S City. The teaching buildings and other buildings are relatively old. What impressed Tang Gu most was the acacia trees standing in groups on both sides of the teaching buildings.

"When the acacia flowers wither, you will graduate." Director Wang looked up and couldn't help sighing.

A few people didn't speak anymore, immersed in the sadness of graduation.

The weather is relatively warm today, the sun jumps down from the gaps in the trees, and sprinkles a large area of ​​gold.

"I'll go back to the hotel restaurant after dinner, and I'll give you a few hours off. You can walk around, but don't run around or go far. Keep in touch at any time." Director Wang said.

Everyone cheered.

Tang Gu didn't go out and felt sleepy all day, so he planned to catch up on sleep until ten o'clock and then wake up to read English composition and competition questions.

In the middle of sleeping, Qu Zhaoyuan came back and saw Tang Gu covering his head under the quilt, so he lightly took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Tang Gu stared in a daze, with one eye half-opened, his head came out of the quilt, lying on the quilt in a daze.

Qu Zhaoyuan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiping his hair, and picked up a white porcelain cup on the bedside table to drink water, but he didn't hold it firmly, and the cup hit the floor and shattered.

Tang Gu lay on the quilt and shook violently, completely awake.

Qu Zhaoyuan was about to bend down to pick up the pieces, but someone grabbed his arm.With a wet temperature, and a little panic that is not obvious but can be felt.Tang Gu's index finger moved unconsciously.

He turned his head and looked at Tang Gu staring at him on the quilt with a pair of black short-sighted eyes, his hair limp from sleeping, like a puppy, pitiful.

So fucking cute.

Qu Zhao originally thought, then immediately stopped this thought and sat down beside his bed.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice.

Tang Gu didn't speak, and quietly grabbed his arm.

A light yellow wall lamp was turned on in the whole room, making it look quiet and serene.

The two of them stayed like this, Tang Gu liked this feeling very much.

The depressive panic that has been accumulated in my heart for the past few days, and the accompanying sense of powerlessness, all erupted at the moment when Qu Zhaoyuan accidentally broke the cup just now, screaming from every cell in his heart. He jumped out proudly holding the battle flag.

I am afraid.

I am afraid of everything.

Tang Gu said in his heart.

Qu Zhaoyuan didn't break away, and didn't continue to ask, he just grabbed his arm and sat by the bed to accompany him.

Looking out from the window of the balcony, there is an endless stream of cars and the lights of thousands of houses.

After about half an hour, Tang Gu finally let go of Qu Zhaoyuan's arm, stared at him, and said, "I'm a little scared of the sound of things breaking."

The voice was so soft that Qu Zhaoyuan wondered if Tang Gu had spoken.

"Go to sleep." Qu Zhaoyuan grabbed his hand, stayed for a while, put it under the quilt, and then covered him with the quilt.

"I plan to get up at ten o'clock to review." Tang Gu, who was covered with a quilt, looked at him and said.

"What is it?" Qu Zhaoyuan patted his forehead, "Are you still letting the other contestants live?"

The two stared at each other for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

"Then I'd better go to sleep." Tang Gu closed his eyes, "Good night."

Qu Zhaoyuan turned off the wall lamp, lay down on another bed, and closed his eyes: "Good night."

Both of them slept peacefully that night, and their mentality was also very stable.

It was very stable until entering the examination room.

The examination room of Qu Zhaoyuan and Tang Gu was connected together. The two stood by the corridor, and Tang Gu looked down with some documents.

Qu Zhaoyuan shifted his gaze from the information paper to his hair, and then to his neck, the corners of his eyes, the bridge of his nose, his lips... He laughed quietly.

After last night, the relationship between the two has become a lot closer, it should be said that it is a qualitative leap.

Feeling Qu Zhaoyuan's gaze, Tang Gu turned his face around, and with a hidden smile, asked him silently with his mouth: "What are you looking at?"

"You are beautiful." Qu Zhaoyuan pretended to be sincere and said to him.

"Shut up." Tang Gu lowered his head and continued to read the essay, but his mind drifted away gradually following Qu Zhaoyuan's words.

The author has something to say:

Gee tut.
