reborn stepfather

Mrs. Zheng and I turned our heads together.

Mrs. Zheng asked curiously, "Which kid came here to find his father?"

I didn't even finish listening to what she said, and I stepped up the steps in two or three steps. Although my knees were so weak that I almost couldn't stand up, I still tried my best to rush to the side of the corridor guardrail.

Chi Qian was still wearing the white sweater jacket from yesterday, holding on to the iron bars with both hands, standing on tiptoes, raising his head, and calling out in multiple voices: "Dad, Dad, are you there?"

Mrs. Zheng came over, looked out, and asked, "Your son?"

I nodded, trying my best to see the child clearly.He happened to be standing under the street lamp, and the warm yellow light surrounded him. For some reason, he always felt that his face seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Did he not eat well recently?

It was too dark, and the corridor at the entrance of the corridor was just blocked by a tall camphor tree. I could look at him from a distance through the neglected branches, but he couldn't see me.Maybe it's because I haven't responded all the time. His voice calling me became smaller and smaller, but he didn't leave. Instead, he hugged his body and sat down in front of the door.

The little man curled up in a ball by the iron gate, his arms passed through the gap between the iron bars and looped around his chest, just like the dragon stubbornly guarding the entrance of the cave in a fairy tale.

"You shouldn't say anything to him?" Madam Zheng asked leisurely as she leaned aside.

I looked at him, feeling pain in my heart, I didn't know how to answer for a while, my fingers moved uncontrollably.

I really want to hug him.

I want to touch his hair and tell him, don't be afraid, I'm here.

Want to see him, want to live the previous life with him.

"You really shouldn't say anything to him?" Mrs. Zheng asked me again.

I forced myself to use my strength and clenched my fists by my side. This time, I was finally able to shake my head slowly: "If I agree with him, he will never leave. If I don't agree with him, he may give up by himself."

Now that I'm not sure that I can go out, it's better not to give Chi Qian any more reasons for refusing to leave.If I can go out, I can just have a good talk with him, and see if I can convince him to stay at home and not run around.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Chi Qian, and said lightly, "I think it's not so easy to give up if you will find the child from here by yourself."

Of course I know this truth, I know better than anyone how stubborn he is.Knowing him from my previous life, I knew that he was the kind of person who would never change his mind after deciding on something.This kind of personality can make him a very tough and responsible man, but sometimes it is really confusing.

In the end, I forced myself to turn my head, and I asked Mrs. Zheng: "Let's continue the topic just now, how can we get out from here?"

Mrs. Zheng wrapped her fingers around the infusion tube, smiled and said, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you, but I don't know."

I:"......"

"And you look like this—" Mrs. Zheng nodded me with her hand, "What are you doing out there? Courting death?"

"He doesn't come home now, I really..." I sighed, and still couldn't help but look up to search for the child. He still maintained the same posture, with his head resting on his arm I don't know if I fell asleep, and I whispered, "I think if I can get out, I can send him home. At this time, no one has time to take care of other people's children... ..”

"You still want to take your son home?" Mrs. Zheng sneered, "Don't be ridiculous, okay? You go out from here, get in touch with your son, get in touch with others, you want to infect more people, don't you? Do you want to infect your son and come in together, so that the two of you, father and son, will go to see Lord Yan together?"

"No." I told her my thoughts, "at least I can get out of this building and talk to him through a door. I stay here alone, and I don't know what's going on outside. I really can't sit still without knowing the situation of my family."

"You take care of yourself, don't waste my dear Lord Wei Heng's heart." Mrs. Zheng patted me on the shoulder, "You also know that my dear Wei Heng has a cold temper, he never deliberately tells anyone Well, it’s the first time I’ve seen him beg for someone.”

I put my head down.

"Put your heart back in your stomach. One has one's own life." Mrs. Zheng reached out and touched my forehead, and then lightly put it on the back of my hand, "You still have a fever, stop messing around, you Don’t you know that people with a fever are prone to fainting after strenuous exercise? Go out and don’t scare your child.”

Her hands, thin and veined, with cold fingertips, were strangely comforting, almost irresistible.

"You go back. While I am in good spirits today, I will help you go to the doctor's duty room on this floor. If someone is there, I will help you ask him to take your child home. In this way, you can finally recover from your illness with peace of mind. Right?" Mrs. Zheng pushed me to the ward, and said to herself, "The doctors on this floor don't know me, so I shouldn't be caught..."

The soles of my feet rubbed against the ground and slowly moved forward, I instinctively didn't want to leave.

I couldn't help but look back again and again, the little figure leaning against the door was still getting farther and farther away in my eyes, more and more blurred.

After being pushed into the room by Mrs. Zheng, I finally couldn't hold on any longer, as if all my strength had been exhausted, and my body slid a little bit to sit on the ground.

Seeing Chi Qian, I never felt more deeply than this moment.

In this world, including me, including my parents, there are still too many concerns behind me, and none of us can sacrifice everything else for someone.

And only Chi Qian, the only one who would rush to my side regardless of everything.

Because from the beginning to the end, he seemed to think that I was the only one.

And all the awe-inspiring words I just said were lies, and I didn't say the real reason behind the words.

— want to see him.

I just, just miss him.

But I can't do anything, I can't even walk to him, I can only lie on the bed like a rotten rag.

I hate myself for being like this.

I always feel that I vaguely heard Chi Qian's call again, but I don't know if the faint voice is my hallucination.

I couldn't help opening the door, and I saw Mrs. Zheng helplessly being escorted by two nurses and walked in front of me. At that moment, she saw me, and she spread her hands guiltily at me. Mouth: "I got caught, sorry."

They flashed in front of their eyes and walked over.

Far away, I heard the nurse ask, "Why is that child still there?"

The other replied impatiently: "Who knows, where can I still control him now..."

Sure enough, it wasn't my hallucination just now.

Obviously Mrs. Zheng couldn't help, and the nurses and doctors didn't plan to bother.

I was about to sneak out again when the door was pushed open, and the nurse who often came to help me change my dressing appeared in front of me.

Got caught.

I was taught a disgraceful lesson by the nurse, and I was given an injection in the buttocks. The nurse threatened fiercely: "You guys like to make trouble, don't you? Be careful, I will prescribe sleeping pills for you! Look at you!" What a fuss!"

Although I knew it was impossible, I still acted like a good boy, because I felt very guilty when I saw the dark circles under the nurse's eyes.

But Chi Qian is still outside, I can't just sit idly by, maybe I will cause her trouble again.

But she never gave me this chance.

I watched her busy green next to me. She changed a new hot water bottle, ice pack, and sterilized bed sheets, and then took out a bowl of porridge from the insulated box for me to eat. After I finished eating obediently, she packed things up. leave.I was just about to move in my heart, but I heard the door lock turn twice.It was locked.

Locked? ? !

I hurried over and twisted the doorknob, but it couldn't be turned.

Don't do it.

I fell back on the bed dejectedly.

And the injection she gave me didn't know any side effects, and after a while I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open.

I struggled to fall asleep, I always felt that Chi Qian's voice was still around my ears, and I couldn't sleep well. I would wake up every ten minutes or so, and then I would prick up my ears to listen. Not sure if it's reality or an illusion.

In the end, I couldn't tell whether I was asleep or not, only countless fragments that I hadn't thought about in my previous life flashed before my eyes one by one.

I just remembered so many insignificant things inexplicably.

I remembered him sitting across from me, with his head slightly lowered, spreading jam on the bread, while the morning news was playing on TV.When I passed him by after breakfast, he suddenly reached out and wiped my lips, and said lightly when I was stunned: "Something got on it."

I remembered that he was 16 years old, admitted to No. [-] Middle School, and became my student.Looking at Chi Qian, who was sitting down with his chin propped up and watching me silently, I was so nervous that my palms were sweating. After taking a deep breath, I still said: "We are going to Shakespeare's Hamlet today." Shakespeare's Harry Potter." The audience roared with laughter, and even Chi Qian, who was usually cold, rolled his eyes.

I remembered that a girl pursued him in the second year of high school, and he piled up snacks on his desk.At that time, I was in a very complicated mood, and I didn't know what to think. Before he found out, I took out all the snacks and stuffed them back into the girl's drawer. Just like that, I hypnotized myself that it was to kill puppy love. signs.So Chi Qian never knew that there was a girl who liked him and bought him a drawer of snacks.

It's funny and ashamed that such a big person still does this kind of thing in retrospect.

Thinking about it a little further, at that time, sunshine wages had not yet been implemented, and after Chi Qian entered high school, the tuition fees increased sharply, and our family was suddenly in a lot of trouble.One winter, the two of us didn't turn on the electric heater to save money, and we couldn't stand the cold when we huddled together to sleep.

Especially my feet, they are like ice cubes in winter, and I can't cover them warmly, and I can be woken up by my feet freezing in the middle of the night.

Although we slept in the same bed for warmth, the two of us had our backs facing each other. I faced the yellowed wall and rubbed my feet under the bedding. I accidentally rubbed my cold feet against the pool beside me, which was so irritating. He shrank his feet reflexively.

I didn't know what to say, I just silently moved to the side, not daring to make any more moves.

After a while, Chi Qian lifted the quilt and got out of bed in silence. He had become taciturn at that time, and I asked him what to do but didn't answer.

I thought, maybe I was frozen, so I might as well go back to sleep in my own room.

At that time, I didn't know what happened, but I felt very hurt in my heart, and I thought sadly that my son was not as caring as my daughter.

So I wrapped the quilt tighter, but the warmth of a person was missing in the quilt, and I felt empty and cold, as if no matter how tightly I hugged myself, the wind could find a gap and run in.

When he was about to fall asleep with a sad mood, his feet were scalded by something extremely warm.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Chi Qian lying down beside him, still in the same posture with his back facing him.

I quietly fished it up and took a look. It turned out to be a big soy sauce bottle filled with boiling water. In order to prevent me from getting burned, two towels were wrapped around the outside.

It turned out that he was going to boil water to warm my feet.

Looking up at him, Chi Qian only faced me with his thin and straight back.

I put the soy sauce bottle between the two of them, leaned towards him, hesitated for a moment, and put my arm lightly on his waist tentatively.He froze for a moment, as if startled by my actions.

I thought he didn't like this kind of contact with people, and was trying to withdraw his hand embarrassingly, but his fingers were gently hooked by him.

We both slept very well that night.

It was also a sporadic picture between me and Chi Qian, and it will feel warm when I recall it.

I don't know if people who are sick will become more fragile. At this time, I was thinking about the memorable things, but I felt that the tingling sensation in my chest became more obvious, like a stone being thrown into water, and the pain rippled around.

I felt a little ashamed, but I couldn't control it, the sobbing sound was stuck in my throat, and I kept gasping.

What to do, I really, suddenly, miss him so much.
