I still have your pendant

Chapter 21

Just as Fu Hang got off the plane, he got a call from Li Que. She was waiting for him in the underground parking lot of the airport.

Fu Hang didn't say much on the phone, all he heard was Li Que's thick nasal voice and breathless rhetoric.Fu Hang's heart sank a little, he was not sure about Teacher Dong's current situation.

Fu Hang quickly went to the underground parking lot, Li Que waited for him leaning against a pillar beside him, he didn't say much when he saw him coming, and after watching Fu Hang put the suitcase into the trunk, he seemed to be unable to bear it anymore Same, rushing up to hug him, whimpering and complaining, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Fu Hangmo sat for a while, rubbed her head, and asked softly, "Aren't you afraid of paparazzi? Is Teacher Dong okay?"

Fu Hang seldom saw Li Que cry, and now she was a little at a loss for what to do, he was suddenly a little afraid of hearing the answer Li Que told him.

It took Li Que in Fu Hang's arms for a while before he recovered, and wiped away his tears with Fu Hang's suit and tie, "Ms. Dong woke up in the ICU before I came over, and Mr. Qu went in to accompany him during the time when visits were prohibited." After a while, it may be that Mr. Dong is trying to get out of the hospital."

"Where are they now? Are they going back?" Fu Hang asked, helplessly took off the tie and handed it to Li Que, and then opened the car door.

He knew Mr. Dong's temperament, and it was impossible to keep him in the hospital.

"No, the hospital won't allow approval. But the situation seems to have stabilized. Are you going to the hospital? Elder Qu is still there." Li Que sat in the driver's seat and asked while driving.

Fu Hang nodded, "Go, it's better to be with you than now, Mr. Qu can't fall."

Li Que responded in a low voice, and drove the car out of the underground parking lot.

City W was still brightly lit in the early morning, but the roadside stalls were almost coming to an end.

Li Que was driving on the nearly empty airport expressway.When she saw Fu Hang, she couldn't hold back her emotions today. If she hadn't just planned to visit Teacher Dong, she might not have known that Teacher Dong had become so ill.

What's more, what happened to Mr. Qu was very similar to the scene when she faced Fu Hang's surgery responsibility letter back then. The resemblance went to the core, but they were in different positions. Mr. Qu was Teacher Dong's lover, but she was only Fu Hang's. friend.

Qu always has a position to sign, but he can't, because he is a fan, and he can't sign without being recognized by the law.

Li Que comforted Mr. Qu in the hospital, but his nerves did not relax. He was always tense and went to find Teacher Dong’s relatives. Unable to keep it, Mr. Qu has almost collapsed, and his helplessness in the face of his lover's serious illness has made him unable to accept that more than 50 people.

Li Que understood that Mr. Qu was always mentally prepared to face Teacher Dong's death, but when the shock came down, no one was strong.

At the beginning, Qu Lao was fine with the operation responsibility letter, but when he grabbed the nurse's hand and explained over and over again, the man who had passed half a century must not be able to hold on anymore.

What Li Que found later was Mr. Dong's nephew who was studying for a master's degree at H University. The child rushed over overnight to sign the letter of responsibility for the operation, and after a few words of comfort to Mr. Qu, he also left.

Teacher Dong has a bad relationship with his relatives. Li Que knew more or less, but he didn't expect Bao Liang to be like this.

So when Li Que saw Fu Hang in the parking lot later, she couldn't hold back anymore, or maybe she didn't have to collapse.

Li Que looked at Fu Hang sitting aside from the corner of his eye, and now he felt that he trusted Fu Hang a little too much, probably because he understood that it was okay to be ashamed in front of this person, and the two of them were used to being embarrassing in front of each other, so they It doesn't matter.

When Fu Hang and the others arrived at the hospital, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and the little nurse at the information desk was dozing off.

Fu Hang and Li Qun didn't communicate much, and went directly outside the ICU.Qu Lao may have fallen asleep, tired for two days, leaning on the bench in the corridor.

Fu Hang approached on tiptoe, took off his coat, covered Elder Qu, walked to the fire escape with Li Qun, and asked in a low voice, "What did the doctor say about Mr. Dong?"

Li Que told the truth and shook his head, "I'm not optimistic. The doctor said that if I rely on the equipment, it may still be half a month. If I insist on being discharged from the hospital, it will only be three days. The cancer cells have spread and there is no cure."

"With Teacher Dong's temperament, it is impossible to want to be trapped in the hospital," Fu Hang lowered his eyes, his face was a little dignified, "Do you know what Qu Lao said to Teacher Dong inside?"

"I don't know what he said, but when Mr. Qu came out, his face was ugly, his eyes were red, and he was a little angry, but he still went to the nurse to ask if he could go through the discharge procedures."

"Then wait for Teacher Dong to stabilize before leaving the hospital. I know his temperament, and Mr. Qu also knows that if he really wants to leave, he won't want to leave in the hospital," Fu Hang sighed and looked at the doctor. Elder Qu, who was leaning on the bench, felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, "Wake up Elder Qu and send him back. When it's visiting time, I'll go and see Mr. Dong. If he's awake, I'll ask Is he sure he wants to go and not stay?"

Li Que nodded, hummed with a strong nasal voice, turned around and called Qu Lao.

When Qu Lao woke up, Li Que told him about Fu Hang's plan.Qu Lao didn't say much, but patted his shoulder with a tired face, "Thank you, kid."

Fu Hang didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

The ICU usually has two visiting hours, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Fu Hang is a public figure and it is not easy to show up, so after Li Que sent Mr. Qu, he asked Fu Hang to go back to the apartment or Xu's mother first, before the afternoon visiting time. Come here, Li Que will be here in the morning.

Fu Hang had no objection, so he drove Li Que's car to Mama Xu's place first.

Xu's mother always wakes up early, but Fu Hang's past time is not even five o'clock, and the only people who come and go are breakfast vendors on the street.Fu Hang had no choice but to lie down in the car for 2 hours before going to Xu Ma's place after buying breakfast.

Xu Ma was still surprised when she opened the door to see Fu Hang, but after hearing about Teacher Dong, she didn't say much, as long as Fu Hang went to rest quickly, and she called him when the time came.

On the contrary, the earl wagged his tail badly after seeing him, but Fu Hang didn't bother to make trouble with it, so he lay down on his side directly, washed up briefly, and then lay down.

Fu Hang had a hasty sleep, also a light sleep, and looked at the time at a little past nine in the morning.Without thinking about it, he changed his clothes and told Xu Ma that he still went to the hospital. Fu Hang knew that Li Que hadn't had much rest these days. It would be good for him to change her and let her have a rest.

When Fu Hang passed by, there were not too many people in the corridor of the ICU, they might all be concerned about the family members inside, and no one paid attention to him.

Li Que was leaning on the bench, his mind was a little dazed after not resting for a long time, seeing Fu Hang coming, he asked him to sit beside her, leaned on Fu Hang's shoulder and fell asleep.

Fu Hang and Li Que settled the lunch at noon hastily, and went back to the hospital to say hello to the nurses in the ICU. If it is convenient, they can notify them when Teacher Dong wakes up.

The little nurse didn't say much, maybe because she was used to the ways of the world, and after looking at Fu Hang once or twice, she responded in a low voice.

When Teacher Dong woke up, it was close to the visiting time. Fu Hang went in under the leadership of the nurse after disinfecting his whole body.

Because it was a lung tumor, Mr. Dong was still wearing an oxygen mask. Seeing him walking over, his eyes softened a little. He tried to say something, but it was useless. The only trace of his desire to speak was sprayed on the oxygen mask as he opened his mouth. white mist on.

Fu Hang was sitting beside his bed, looking at him, with an ugly smile on the corner of his mouth, "Look at you, you died when you were treated before, and now you don't have the strength to drive me away."

Teacher Dong didn't say anything, but forced his nerves to give him a blank look.

"... When Teacher Qu came in, were you like this too?" Fu Hang lowered his head and asked, holding his voice, "It hurts so much when he sees you like this."

"...Yes, it's me..." Mr. Dong uttered two words while holding back the pain.

Fu Hang waved his hand, motioning him to stop, "I know what you want to say, but forget it. Mr. Qu won't want to hear what you say."

"Really, do you still have to be discharged from the hospital? After you go out, you will be infected with a lung virus, and you will leave Mr. Qu alone..." Fu Hang held Teacher Dong's hand, lowering his head and his voice was a little bit unbearable.

Fu Hang knew that no matter whether Mr. Dong was in the ICU or out, he didn't have much time left.

He thought that Teacher Dong also knew that when he suddenly fell ill, the uncontrollable cancer cells did not want him to stay in this world.

"Go... go out, accompany, accompany him," Teacher Dong said, and shook Fu Hang's hand vigorously, "He...he, is he here?"

"Mr. Qu didn't come. He took care of you for two days and didn't rest. I asked Li Que to send him away. When your condition stabilizes, I'll arrange for you to leave the hospital, okay?" Fu Hang asked in a low voice.

Teacher Dong was lying on the hospital bed, shaking his head with some difficulty, "Tomorrow, tomorrow."

Fu Hang didn't speak, he looked down and couldn't see what was in his eyes, as if there were tears.

Fu Hang paused for a while, raised his head and smiled, "Okay, tomorrow. Elder Qu and I will pick you up tomorrow, okay?"

Teacher Dong didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

Because he was afraid of bacterial infection, Fu Hang didn't stay in there any longer. After telling Mr. Dong about his recent situation, he also left. , he couldn't bear it anymore.

He walked to the fire exit where he talked with Li Que in the early morning, and cried without making any sound. Only the tears fell down to know how sad he was.

Li Que didn't speak, and didn't follow him. She knew that Fu Hang's mood needed to be calmed down.

As long as it is a person with feelings, no matter who sees the person who once treated him like a father become what he is now, this is the case.

The world is cold and warm, only when you experience it will you know.

Fu Hang also encountered this kind of scene when he was acting in the past. Sometimes he might be the one lying inside, and sometimes he might be the one waiting outside.

Fu Hang is squatting by the fire escape right now, really hoping that this is a scene, after the filming is over, the director calls out, and the man lying in the ICU can come out alive and laugh at himself.

Fu Hang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and didn't explain much to Li Qun. He went straight to Mr. Dong's attending doctor and talked about discharge from the hospital.

Teacher Dong was finally discharged from the hospital. When Fu Hang and Qu Lao went to pick him up the next day, the oxygen mask had already been taken off, and the attending physician gave them a discharge order after explaining a lot.

Maybe he also knew that the patient didn't live long, so he didn't stop him. After Fu Hang thanked the doctor, he took Mr. Dong into the car.

Teacher Dong can't speak very well now, her lungs have been cut, and it's very difficult to breathe.

But when Mr. Qu helped him into the car, he still looked at him and smiled, saying "I'm sorry" over and over again in the ear of the man who had been with him all his life.

Li Que sat on the co-pilot of the car, didn't speak, and cried a little bit uncontrollably.Fu Hang drove the car and handed her the paper without making a sound.

Qu Lao sat in the back seat, put his arms around the shoulders of the person next to him, nodded and smiled at him, and didn't say much.

The two of them have talked for a lifetime, and it's not bad for a few words now.

But in the end, Qu Lao looked at Teacher Dong and smiled, tears welled up in his eyes, "I'm just used to you."

Teacher Dong also smiled and stopped talking, and stopped apologizing, resting her head on Elder Qu's shoulder.

Only Qu Lao knew that his lover had wet his shoulders a lot.

For Mr. Qu, life and death are probably like this, and there is nothing worse than now.

After Fu Hang sent Teacher Dong home, he followed Li Que in and sat for a while. He handed the calligraphy and painting that he had brought back to Teacher Dong, and said with a smile, "You just like these ghost things. I will talk to you later. You buy, if you buy a lot, I will make you a room and frame them all, okay?"

Leaning on the bed, Teacher Dong nodded and said yes, smiling until the corners of his eyes were covered with fine wrinkles, "Y-later... you can buy it again, buy it, buy it for me."

Mr. Qu stood aside without saying much, and put on the ventilator at home for Mr. Dong.

Everyone present probably knew that what Teacher Dong said would no longer be available, and the ventilator at Qu Lao's home would not be used any more.

Li Que and Fu Hang chatted with Mr. Dong for a while, both of them were reluctant to leave, but they were driven out by Mr. Qu. Mr. Qu said that he had been with him for most of his life, and he wanted to be alone for the rest of the journey. with him.

Fu Hang and Li Que didn't talk much, they just said they would come back when they had time.

But when Fu Hang and Li Que came over on the second and third day, Elder Qu refused to let them in.

When Fu Hang realized something was wrong, it was already the fourth day. He was guarding the door of Qu's house as usual, but he was not going to say hello to Qu's house. The sound of the flute blowing from the room.

It was a melodious song "A Journey to Suzhou", the flute sound was melodious and sad, and the lingering sound was endless.

After the song was over, Fu Hang still went in.

Mr. Qu was standing in front of Teacher Dong's bed. He had just put the flute on the table, but he didn't speak when he saw Fu Hang coming.

Teacher Dong was still lying on the bed, the same as when Fu Hang left that day, but the ventilator on his face was not working, and he already knew what the end was going to be.

"How long has he been away?" Fu Hang asked in a deep voice, his voice trembling.

"Three days," Elder Qu turned his back to him, "After you left, he left that night, holding my hand when he left...apologize to me..."

"Really?" Fu Hang walked in, sitting on the edge of the bed holding Teacher Dong's cold hand, "Did he smile when he left?"

"Ah."

Fu Hang held back his tears and smiled, let go of Teacher Dong's hand and stood up.

He knew that Elder Qu's heart would only be worse than his own now, and he would have to prepare for the funeral and cremation in a few days, and he would help Elder Qu manage it.

"I..." Fu Hang looked at Teacher Dong, and before he recovered, he heard Qu Laodao, "In my life, I may love him the most...but it's also me...I'm sorry for him..."

Fu Hang didn't say anything.

"I can't even sign his letter of responsibility for the operation, so I can only watch him go... I've spoiled him for most of my life, but I still let him go like this..."

"If I have an afterlife, I want to accompany him with the correct gender... I can walk with him on the street hand in hand, I can take wedding photos together, I can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate... I can put it on his surgery responsibility letter Signing...I want to tell others that he is my lover..."

As Qu Lao said, he turned around, and the man over fifty had tenderness, reluctance, and nostalgia in his eyes.

He walked to the bed, knelt on the ground and stroked the broken hair on Teacher Dong's forehead with one hand, "If there is a next life, I still want to meet you, okay?"

No one could answer him, but Fu Hang still seemed to hear a voice coming from far away. The man was smiling, and he said, "Okay."

The author has something to say:

It is strongly recommended to listen to the trip to Gusu played by the flute. I was listening to this chapter while listening to it.

Maybe it's because of my own heart, crying like a dog
