Chapter 20 Vegetables
I sat alone in the seat in the dark and narrow hospital corridor.
Chen Yu, who was seriously shocked, is now conducting emergency rescue at the end of the corridor, where the three letters "ICU" are lit with cold lights.
I leaned weakly on the seat, looking at the three letters, and I hope that the two doors will open in the next second, Chen Yu would walk out of the door with a stern face, then glanced at me, and said with that usual contemptuous tone-
"What are you doing here? - Let's go and do my hair with me!"
But she won't walk out the next second, nor can she walk out the next second.
The corridor was dead silent, as quiet as the planet in the ancient times.
The rapid footsteps ran over from the elevator, and I saw Lin Ying's anxious face.
"Hey, whose child are you?" The nurse on duty at the stairs stopped her, probably thinking that she had a tender face.
"I am not a child, I am a policeman!" She took out the police officer's certificate and said viciously.
The nurse was stunned and quickly moved out of the way.
"How is she?" she rushed to me and asked me.
I glanced at her, but I didn't have the strength to answer, nor did I want to answer.
"Are you okay?" She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and touched my forehead and said.
Her fingertips were cold and trembling, but I didn't have the strength to answer her question because I felt that my muscles and bones were pulled away.
Lin Ying showed a worried look on her face. She put her palm on my forehead and touched her.
"Talk! Stake!"
I shook my head and said that I didn't want to speak. I saw tears flashing in her eyes, and she grabbed my hand.
"It's all my fault. I didn't listen to Chen Yu's words, nor did I expect that catching a thief would cause such a big situation. I'm sorry Chen Yu, I'm sorry for you..."
"It's not your fault, I didn't protect her." I broke away with one hand, patted her shoulder, and finally said this with difficulty.
Two lines of tears flowed out of Lin Ying's eyes. She suddenly hugged me with comfort and held back the sob.
"It really has nothing to do with you, no one would have thought." I comforted her, and the dislocated right shoulder was hugged by her, which made me thrust.
At this time, the ICU door creaked open, Lin Ying quickly let go and stood up, turned her head to wipe the tears on her face. I quickly pinched my shoulders so that the pain was not so severe.
A doctor with a mask walked towards me.
"Who is Chen Yu's family?" he asked.
I raised my hand a little hesitantly.
"Her parents are unknown and have no contact information - I, I am her boyfriend."
"Oh, that's right. The injured person is no longer in danger of his life." The doctor said calmly.
"That's great!" I almost jumped up and hugged him and pulled his injured shoulders again.
"However," the doctor then pointed to his head, "her brain has been severely damaged and is still in a coma now--and may be like this in the future..."
"What do you mean?!"
"I mean, she may not wake up again..." The doctor took off his mask and nodded slightly to me, as if he wanted to express his apology.
"You mean she may become a vegetable?" Lin Ying asked.
"Well, from the current point of view, the prognosis is likely to be PVS status."
"Can she wake up? I saw reports that I kept waiting by the bed and calling my name every day, and I could wake up in the long run!" I held the doctor's hand and asked.
"This - modern medicine does not have enough technology to infer. Maybe." The doctor patted my shoulder and walked forward. I had to follow him step by step.
"That is, is this possible?" I asked.
"Yes, the possibility of waking up cannot be completely ruled out." He said quickly. I knew that he was perfunctory, no, not perfunctory, comforting me.
"Then how long do you think it will take to wake her up?" I continued to ask.
"We don't know this. Maybe she will stay asleep all the time, maybe she will wake up in a year, maybe one or two months, maybe tomorrow, it's possible, and it's not sure." The doctor quickly walked to the elevator, and an elevator was waiting there. He hurriedly walked in, but I was still holding his white coat.
"Is that related to the frequency of calling? What if I keep calling her name every day..."
The elevator heard the sound of Didi sirens.
"Yan Zhuang!" Lin Ying ran over and pulled me away, then bowed apologetically to the doctor and said, "He was a little excited and disturbed you."
"It's okay, I can understand. In fact, the most painful thing in this situation is the relatives. After all, the patient can't sense anything." The doctor finished speaking in the elevator and bowed slightly to us.
I saw the elevator door closed and his figure disappeared into the gap in the electric door, just like the figure of the scapegoat that day Shen Yu snuggled up to me in the cabinet, and saw through the gap in the cabinet door.
"Please cheer up!" Lin Ying stretched out her hand to support me, "If Shen Yu woke up, she wouldn't want to see you with cramps and broken bones! And you need treatment now! Otherwise your arms would be ruined!"
I looked at Lin Ying, and there was an extremely sadness on her face like me.
I paused and cried out.
"Lin Ying, Lin Ying, can Shen Yu really wake up again?!"
......
Shen Yu has been in the ICU for seven days.
Because I couldn't visit her, I could only wait for her in the corridor every day.
Fortunately, my shoulder dislocation was not particularly serious. After I broke it back, the doctor hung a thin suspender for me. Although it was a bit inconvenient for life, it had little impact.
Lin Ying often comes to accompany me. Although she is very busy, she still brings food and drinks and sits with me silently for a while.
Shi Chang and Xiao Yu also came twice. The two people who usually like to quarrel with each other actually sat with me silently for half an hour without saying a word.
Of course, my colleagues also came to visit me. The editor-in-chief brought Lao Zheng and Xin Xiaoruo over that day, and Lao Zheng handed me a handful of flowers awkwardly.
In my eyes, the editor-in-chief always looked like a weasel. When he saw me losing weight, he was so sad that he wiped his tears.
"Xiao Yan, why didn't you tell us about this big thing? I heard that you were hit too, okay? Are you injured internally?"
"It's okay, editor-in-chief." I said to him.
"Oh, you should have a good rest, take good care of your illness, and spend a good time with your family."
"Thank you, editor-in-chief."
"Actually, you are the most honest and down-to-earth person in the company, and everyone knows it." He thought about it, "But people are afraid of difficulties, are afraid, and are lazy. If there is something thankless, I want to send it to others, and others will argue with me, and maybe they will even mess with me behind my back - only you can't, so I'll throw it to you...
"You are a gentleman. Over the years, you have shared a lot of things for the company. I have helped you take two and a half months of paid leave. You have a good rest during this period."
He stood up and patted me on the shoulder and said.
"Oh, Xiaoruo took the initiative to help you follow the project compiled by the rare books."
"Thank you Xiaoruo." I stood up and gave them a look.
"Silly, take a rest!" Xin Xiaoruo still had no good words, but it didn't sound offensive.
My old classmate Wen Tingxu also came once, and he forced me to give me a bank card without saying a word.
"I don't want this." I said.
"Brother! You need money now, you know! You need money for hospitalization and recovery after discharge!"
"I still have savings. After spending the savings, I can still sell the house. Anyway, I bought the house for us to get married."
"You are crazy! Is she going to wake up? When you wake up, you need to have a house to support her! Hold it! Hold it!"
He forced the card into my pocket, and I stuffed the card back to him.
"You're out of here now." He sighed and said, "Do you think my personality has changed after returning to China?"
"It's kind of." I said.
He touched his pocket and took out a cigarette to light it. He probably remembered that this was a hospital, so he didn't take out the lighter, but just held the cigarette in his hand.
"My personality has not changed, it's the same as before. I am now performing it."
"What?" I looked at him.
"I went abroad and realized that it was actually the same as in China. Although the things I care about may be different, people like me who have IQ but don't have EQ are still unable to move forward. Later, I thought that if I want to succeed and become a superior, I couldn't survive in such a state of being arrogant and arrogant. But I couldn't change my personality, but I suddenly thought of a way."
“What method?”
"Acting. Treat life as a grand and long series - are the characters you see on TV all the actors' personalities? No, they are all performed, and what I have to do is to act longer, longer, and more professionally than them. After all, in this drama, I am the only one who is the screenwriter, director, producer, actor, makeup artist, and sound effects artist. So in the second year, I studied another major, which is drama performance."
"Really? You mean, you act every day."
"Yes, it's not that difficult to act, so it doesn't take much effort if you get used to it - I started a company to get financing, my brain is one factor, and outstanding acting is another factor."
He stood up with a wry smile, as if he was about to say goodbye, but when I was not careful, he stuffed the bank card into my pocket and ran down the stairs.
"Don't follow me!" He ran and turned around and pointed at me, "I'll smash you into a flat surface when I follow me!"
"Then I'll put the crack in your door tomorrow!" I shouted at him.
"Get out! If you want to break up with a friend, try it!" He cursed and ran away.
