Xiao Zhenhui left around [-]:[-] the next morning. During this period, she fell into a deep coma and never woke up again.

After the doctor announced the news, Gu Zeyang and his party looked at Gu Mian worriedly, fearing that she would not be able to bear it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mian was very calm.She neither cried nor made a fuss, but asked the doctor calmly, "Can I go and see my mother?"

"Yes." The doctor nodded and led her to the place where the corpse was kept.

Xiao Zhenhui's body was covered with a white cloth, Gu Mian walked to the side of the hospital bed, raised her hand and lifted the cloth off her face little by little.

Under the white cloth, Xiao Zhenhui's face was ashen, her lips were pale, and her face was not pretty.Gu Mian stretched out her hand to touch her face, and it was cold.

"Mom..." Gu Mian opened her mouth, but no sound came out.Her throat was filled with a bloody smell, which made it difficult for her to even choke.

Two lines of tears overflowed from Gu Mian's eyes. She bent down and hugged Xiao Zhenhui's waist, just like she did coquettishly many times before: "Mom, I'm so scared, can you take me home..."

------

For the next few days, Mu Jin followed Gu Mian every step of the way.After such a drastic change, everyone was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.Having someone with her - even if it's just watching, it's reassuring.

However, Gu Mian behaved normally. She ate normally, slept normally, communicated with people around normally, and even actively helped take care of Xiao Zhenhui's funeral.

But the more normal she behaved, the more worried Gu Zeyang and the others became.She looks like she has completely closed herself off, and if she doesn't feel it, she won't feel uncomfortable.

It took five days to deal with Xiao Zhenhui's funeral, and Gu Mian fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Jin knew that she was tired these days, so she didn't wake her up when she got up, thinking about letting her sleep for a while.

When Gu Zeyang bought breakfast and came back, the three of them finished it, but Gu Mian still didn't wake up.

After Mu Jin finished clearing the table, she was afraid that the breakfast would be cold, so she planned to wake Gu Mian to eat first.She walked into the room and called softly, "Mianmian, it's time to eat."

Gu Mian didn't respond, Mu Jin walked to the bed, reached out and shook her: "Mianmian, don't sleep, get up and eat breakfast first."

Gu Mian still didn't respond.

Mu Jin was a little worried, and pushed Gu Mian harder: "Mianmian, wake up...Mianmian..."

Gu Mian was still asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Mu Jin panicked, and shouted out the door: "Grandma, Uncle Gu, come quickly."

Gu Zeyang and Zhang Suqin rushed over after hearing the sound: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Mu Jin pointed at Gu Mian: "I don't know why, but I can't wake Mianmian up."

Gu Zeyang stepped forward and stood Gu Mian straight up: "Mianmian? Mianmian? Wake up, can you hear Dad?"

Gu Mian closed her eyes tightly and did not respond.

Mu Jin was so anxious that she was about to cry: "What happened to Mianmian? Nothing will happen to her, right?"

"No," Gu Zeyang hugged Gu Mian, "You help Mianmian pack some clothes, and I'll take her to the hospital."

Several people hurriedly took Gu Mian to the city hospital. The doctor examined Gu Mian and concluded that everything was normal and there was no problem.

"Then why hasn't she woke up?" Mu Jin asked anxiously.

"Maybe it's a kind of escape from self-consciousness," the doctor pushed his glasses, and said with a serious look, "Because I couldn't bear the great pain of losing a loved one, I chose to sleep. There have been such things in hospitals before."

"When will she wake up?"

"It depends on when she is willing to wake up, it can be as little as three or two days, as long as ten days and half a month, it doesn't matter." The doctor said, "You can talk to her more and see if you can wake her up. "

Gu Zeyang thanked the doctor and sent him out of the ward.

Mu Jin looked at Gu Mian lying on the hospital bed, her nose couldn't help but feel sore.She was still careless, although she was always guarding Gu Mian, but she couldn't share even a little bit of grief for her.

She took it for granted that Gu Mian was sad, but all of this would eventually pass.Coupled with Gu Mian's deliberate disguise, she did not realize the pain hidden in her heart.

Mu Jin took Gu Mian's hand and put it on her face: "Mianmian, wake up early if you've had enough sleep, okay..."

Gu Mian's current condition is not suitable for going home. She is in a coma, unable to eat or drink, and has to rely on hospital infusions to maintain nutrition.

Gu Zeyang proposed to take care of Gu Mian in the hospital, but Mu Jin flatly rejected it: "Let me take care of Mianmian, I can talk to her more."

"Taking care of patients is not an easy task, you are too young..."

"I promise, I will definitely take good care of Mianmian." Mu Jin interrupted Gu Zeyang's words, her eyes were firmer than ever before.

Only then did Gu Zeyang take a serious look at Mu Jin. In his previous impression, Mu Jin was a girl next door with exquisite looks, excellent grades, politeness and mature thinking.

In his opinion, Mu Jin is excellent, but something is always missing.She is like a beautiful vase placed in a museum, beautiful as it is beautiful, but it always lacks the atmosphere of fireworks in the world.

He has never understood why such a girl would go with the reckless Gu Mian, but now he suddenly understands - heart to heart.

Gu Zeyang and Mu Jin looked at each other for a while, and finally compromised: "You may be too busy alone, can this work, let's stay together. You stay in bed in the hospital at night, and I go to a hotel outside?"

When Gu Zeyang spoke to this point, Mu Jin had no reason to disagree: "Okay."

Although he said that he could spend more time with Gu Mian, but when he really faced Gu Mian, Mu Jin was silent.

Usually when we are together, Gu Mian talks and Mu Jin listens, but now that Gu Mian is quiet, Mu Jin suddenly doesn't know what to say.

"Mianmian," Mu Jin opened her mouth and found that her voice was a little hoarse.She cleared her throat and continued, "You said before that after the high school entrance examination, you should sleep enough at once to make up for all the lost sleep. I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to actually fall asleep."

"I know you doze off a lot, and you're clamoring for sleep every day. But it's not good for you to sleep for too long at once like you are now. Don't you often say 'people are iron rice or steel, and you will feel hungry if you don't eat a meal'" Well, if you sleep like this, how many meals will you eat less?"

"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to eat skewers before? Now that the exam is over, we can go eat. As long as you get up now, I will accompany you to eat right away. You can eat as much as you want. If you can't finish eating, you can pack it. Can."

Mu Jin babbled a lot, but Gu Mian was determined to get enough sleep.Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and she still had no tendency to wake up.

Mu Jin's previous psychological construction collapsed a little bit. When she was collecting water to wipe Gu Mian's body at night, she accidentally knocked over the hot water in the basin.Hot water drenched from her wrists and poured all over the ground.

"Little sister, are you okay?" The person next to him asked with concern.

"No...it's okay." Mu Jin covered her wrists and lowered her head and said, "Go get the water later, I'll sweep the water inside."

"Put it here and let the cleaners clean it up. I think your hands seem to be burning. Are you really okay?"

"It's okay, the water is not hot today." Mu Jin smiled, "I'd better mop it first, the water on the ground is easy to slip."

Mu Jin went to the bathroom and got a mop out, and mopped up the water on the floor bit by bit.After cleaning up the boiling water room, she asked other people to get the water first, and she was the last one in line.

When receiving the water, Mu Jin saw that her wrist was already red and in pain.There are many people collecting water at night. Although the water in the boiling water room does not reach [-] degrees, there are still [-] to [-] degrees.Then a basin of water is flushed down, and it is lucky that there is no bubble.

Mu Jin picked up the hot water, and when it was pouring cold water, he casually washed his wrist.

Back in the ward, an aunt in the next bed kindly suggested to her: "Actually, you don't need to wipe her body every day. Like her, she is lying still and her body is not dirty. Just wipe it once every two or three days."

Mu Jin declined politely: "It's okay, and it's not troublesome."

Pulling the curtain, Mu Jin took off Gu Mian's hospital gown.During this period of time, Gu Mian lost a lot of weight, and she looked skinny and bony even though she was not fat.

Mu Jin wiped Gu Mian's body carefully, and murmured, "You love cleanliness so much, if I wipe it for you only once in two or three days, you'll have to jump up and protest against me."

Her movements paused, and then she smiled again: "It would be great if you could stand up and protest with me. As long as you are willing to wake up, I will stand and let you talk without answering a word."

As Mu Jin spoke, tears fell uncontrollably.

She didn't cry when Gu Mian was in deep sleep, she didn't cry when she wiped Gu Mian's body for the first time and wet most of the sheets on the hospital bed, she didn't cry when she talked with Gu Mian every day but couldn't get a response She didn't cry when the water was hot.

But now, she suddenly wanted to cry.She didn't feel wronged or tired, she just wanted to cry.

Mu Jin threw the handkerchief into the basin, sat on the ground, lay down beside the hospital bed and cried, "Mianmian, you really don't plan to wake up again? Aunt Xiao is gone, so you don't even have this world. Don't you want it? Didn't you say you would stay with me forever? You liar, get up... get up..."

After crying, she still had to face what she had to face. Mu Jin wiped away her tears, packed up the pots and handkerchiefs, and opened the curtains. She became that obedient and sensible "little girl" in everyone's mouth again.

It was getting late, after Mu Jin helped Gu Mian wash up, she hurried to wash up too.

Rain is forecast for the evening and cooling is expected.Mu Jin made a thin quilt for Gu Mian, and put a blanket aside to prevent the temperature from cooling down at night.

After packing everything up, Mu Jin, who was lying on the bed, let out a long sigh of relief.She turned to Gu Mian, and even though she knew there would be no response, she said "good night" softly.
