Chapter 54, Accidents
Before my first winter vacation in college, it was my birthday at the end of November, because Zhou Jingwen asked me to go home one month in advance, and when I went back, only my dad was at home, smoking one cigarette after another.
I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what it was. When I asked my dad, he went to class fidgeting with a cigarette.I waited anxiously until the evening, when my mother finally came back, and as soon as she entered the door, she was busy cooking in the kitchen, but she didn't realize that there was still someone sitting on the sofa.
I chased after my mother to see if something was wrong with Wenwen. She seemed startled, her expression changed again and again, and finally she calmed down and said that Zhou Jingwen had a car accident and was crushed by a car and broke her leg. She had been in the hospital for more than half a month.
I was stunned for a while, calmed down for a while, asked my mother's address and ran to the hospital.I have been thinking all the way, how bad is Zhou Jingwen's leg injury? If he can no longer play basketball, how can he accept such a strong personality.
When I arrived at the hospital, I realized that I hadn’t heard my mother say which ward Zhou Jingwen lived in. I had to go to the front desk and ask. The injured person who was caught up in another accident was being brought in at that time, and the front desk was too busy to talk to me.
I was squeezed to the side and waited for a while, my scalp numb from the bloody images on the moving bed, and I couldn't wait, so I went looking for them one by one.
Zhou Jingwen's ward was at the end of the fourth floor, and the door was closed. I stood outside the door, and I didn't even have the courage to push the door.I was afraid to see Zhou Jingwen's miserable appearance, afraid to see him cry.Someone in the ward came out with a thermos bottle and gave me a strange look. I stepped aside in embarrassment until the person walked away. I closed my eyes and opened the door to go in.
Of the three hospital beds side by side, the one next to the door is empty, the middle one lives in an old man's house, and the one next to the window is Zhou Jingwen's bed. His right foot was hung up with a thick plaster cast, and he fell asleep. I haven't woken up yet.
I walked over slowly, and stood by his bed and looked at him for a while, my face was probably injured, and the blood scabs had dried and turned black, and they looked like they were about to fall off.For the past half month in the hospital, he has been unable to look good, his skin is a little pale, his hair is long and messy, and his clothes are wrinkled from sleeping.
He slept for more than an hour, and he didn't wake up when the two fathers and sons in the room were talking. I sat on the chair beside his bed and looked at his face in a daze.Just now the nurse came to change his dressing. I asked him about his condition. The nurse said that as long as he is well cared for, there should be no sequelae.
But I'm still worried. After all, no matter how good the care is, it can't be as good as it used to be. I think my parents are worried about it, and they probably have the same idea as me.
My mother came with a lunch box. Seeing that Zhou Jingwen was still awake, she gestured for me to go out and talk.When she reached the door she began to cry again.In fact, I rarely see my mother cry. In my impression, she is considered an optimist. When she cries, my heart is pulled together, and I can't help but hug her.
My mother sobbed for a while, and after she calmed down, I asked her what was going on. My mother just wiped her tears and said after a while: "That kid is stupid. If he gets into a fight when he is playing ball, what kind of hero is he going to pretend to be? When the car came over, he pushed the classmate away, and he himself...Xiao Chen, you said your brother...what should I and your father do..."
"No, he will get better, Mom will definitely get better." I hugged my mother tightly, and I also shed tears.
My mother went home, and the person in the next bed found an acquaintance and changed the room, so only Zhou Jingwen and I were left in the ward.He didn't wake up until after eight o'clock. When he saw me sitting by the bed, his expression froze immediately, and he stared at me without moving for a long time.
I was worried that he would make a fuss if he couldn't stand it, and I was thinking about calling the nurse over, but he suddenly laughed, patted the bed and asked me to sit over and let him take a good look, I was suddenly so sad.
"Does it still hurt?" I asked him.
Zhou Jingwen grinned: "It doesn't hurt. Brother, when did you come? My mother told you?"
I hummed casually, but he suddenly patted the bed and cursed: "Fuck, today is your birthday, I actually forgot. Brother, you came here on purpose, right, because I told you?"
"It's not on purpose." Facing Zhou Jingwen's shining eyes, I was a little scared, turned my gaze away, and said in a low voice, "I'll come back and take a look."
Zhou Jingwen reached out to grab my face, made me face him, and smiled again: "Come back and see, why didn't you come back earlier? Just say you miss me, brother. But I'm sorry, but I can't celebrate your birthday .”
I really don't care if it's a birthday or not. I shook my head and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Zhou Jingwen lowered his head and seemed to think for a while, then grinned again: "It's useless to tell my brother. The doctor said that if you take care of it, you will be fine. If you don't come back today, I will be fine when you come back from vacation."
"But……"
"Don't think about it, brother, I'm afraid that my mother will cry as a whole. If you do this again, I will cry for you. It's just a small accident, and it will be fine after a while, really."
I gave Zhou Jingwen hot food for him to eat, but he actually acted like a baby to me, saying that his hand was injured, and insisted that I feed him, I think he has indeed suffered, and he couldn’t refuse when he felt sorry for him, so he sat by the bed Feed him spoon by spoon.
After eating, he pushed forward again, thinking that the quilt in the hospital was too wet and cold to sleep well. I understood what he meant, but I sat still.Zhou Jingwen pestered me for a while, seeing that I would not give in at all, he threw himself into the quilt and refused to speak again.
I didn't know how to coax him, so he said in a muffled voice under the quilt: "Brother, if I am really crippled, I will accept my fate, but I am afraid how can I like you like this. I can't accept that you are with a cripple. Together."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" I was angry and hurt, and pulled his quilt down. Zhou Jingwen refused to let go. After pulling and pulling, I won in the end, but when I saw his red eyes and dripping face, Tears, my heart softened immediately.
I reached out to help him wipe off the water stains on his face, touched his eyes, and said with great difficulty: "You'd better not be limping, or I will..."
Zhou Jingwen looked at me with wet eyes, I couldn't continue, so I simply lifted his quilt and lay on his side.I turned my back to him, buried my face in the quilt, wanted to cry but couldn't.
"elder brother?"
Zhou Jingwen's hand stretched out from behind me, carefully landed on my waist, then got into my clothes, touched my chest all the way, and stopped still.
He whispered hoarsely in my ear: "Brother, I love you."
The first time between the two of us happened a week after Zhou Jingwen did rehabilitation exercises.At that time, I was already on vacation and stayed with him in the hospital all day.
He is very strong, or at least he will try his best to appear strong in front of me, so even if the recovery is painful and hard, and his nose and face are bruised from time to time, he just grins his teeth for a while, and then starts all over again as if nothing happened.
I fell badly that day, and at night he was gasping for breath and complained of pain. I called the doctor for an examination. The doctor said that the neuropathic pain that may only occur during the recovery period is a psychological problem, but he still suggested painkilling injections.Zhou Jingwen refused to hit him, but Ning Yuan bit the quilt and endured it.
In the middle of the night, he was in pain again. He was so sleepy that he couldn't hold back and came out. I lay next to him and felt uncomfortable, so I turned over and hugged him.He was not fully awake at first, so he put his arms around my waist and bumped his head against me, and I let him hit me, but after a while he woke up and found that it was me, and immediately cried.
He didn't cry loudly, but it made me feel even more uncomfortable. I didn't know how to comfort him when I hugged him, so I had to cry along with him.Zhou Jingwen may have heard it, he raised his head to look at my face, he was taken aback for a moment, then got up and kissed my face.When he tentatively kissed me, I didn't know how to react, and let him advance a little bit desperately and presumptuously, and finally conquered the city.
Zhou Jingwen's legs finally recovered slowly, and by the spring of the second year, he could already walk without crutches.When summer came, he was basically no different from a normal person.
But because of this accident, the atmosphere between my parents and my mother suddenly changed a lot. Even though Zhou Jingwen recovered well, they would still quarrel frequently, and my mother would lock herself up and cry after the quarrel.
I thought my mother couldn't control her emotions because she was mentally exhausted. In order to make her feel more relaxed, I would go home every weekend and accompany Zhou Jingwen to do consolidation training and review homework with him.He is not able to play for the time being, but his idea of wanting to be admitted to our school has not changed.
Zhou Jingwen is still clinging to me than when he was a child, and he insisted on squeezing me when he slept at night. My dad probably felt shameful, so he told my mother, and my mother came to tell us again that Zhou Jingwen didn't even bother to deal with it, so she put her arms around my neck What's wrong with saying that I just like sleeping with my brother? Although my mother is dissatisfied, she has nothing to say.
He didn't just think about that when he squeezed with me, sometimes he would press me to nibble when he was in the mood, but most of the time he was quite obedient, and he was satisfied with cuddling and sleeping.He also said that he was very lucky to have such an accident, otherwise he didn't know how long he would have to wait for me to nod.
The relationship with Zhou Jingwen made me struggle every day. On the one hand, I was worried about being smashed by my parents, and in what way it would be broken, and what kind of shock it would cause. On the other hand, I was And gradually indulged in all kinds of little surprises made by Zhou Jingwen.
It entered typhoon weather in early June.I came back from school on the weekend and borrowed my dad's car to pick up Zhou Jingwen from school.When I arrived at school, he was not in the classroom. When I asked my classmates, he said he didn’t pay attention. I guessed that he might have gone to the bathroom. After waiting for a while, he still didn’t see anyone, so he had to go back to the car and wait.
While I was sleepy waiting, I saw Zhou Jingwen standing behind the garage pillar, maybe there was someone else, because he was waving his hands excitedly, as if he was tugging.
We were not close, and I couldn't hear what they said. After thinking about it, I decided to get out of the car and have a look.I also kept an extra heart, found a stick from the corner and held it in my hand.
I passed a dozen cars, went around the rear, and parked behind the car on the opposite side of the post.I couldn't see the people with Zhou Jingwen, but I could hear what they said clearly.
Zhou Jingwen scolded the other party angrily: "I said that this matter will end here, and you should not mention it again in the future, and you are not allowed to tell anyone, remember?"
"If you don't say it, don't say it. You have repeated it more than 100 times. I'm not stupid and still can't remember?" The voice sounded strange, but it should be young, and it may still be in the period of voice change. He chuckled , and said, "Brother Wen, do you like the limited edition T-shirt I bought?"
Zhou Jingwen was very annoyed, and cursed violently: "You're fucking crazy, limited edition? Where did you get the money to buy these! Wait until next week, I'll get it back and you can return it."
"No refund! I gave it to you, just wear it if you like it, why don't you be awkward."
Zhou Jingwen said displeased: "Can you talk? Who the hell is awkward?"
"Okay, okay, I can't talk. But Brother Wen, can you stop being so stubborn, you think he loves you, but when he finds out that he is just an adopted child of your family, you think he doesn't like it. Will there be thoughts? He will still be with you? I can't stand it."
"So fucking keep your mouth shut for me, do you hear me!"
"It's fine if you want me to shut up, just give me a kiss." The man said coquettishly, "You even kiss your own brother, and I'm no worse than him, why can't you kiss me?"
elder brother?elder brother?It took me a while to realize that these two people were talking about me, and I was Zhou Jingwen's brother.But, am I really his brother?Am I an adopted child of my parents?
Before I figured it out, Zhou Jingwen kicked the pillar hard, using his injured leg.His foot seemed to be recovering well, but it still hurt in the rainy weather, so he hugged his foot and squatted down on the ground immediately.
When I was nervous, I didn't care about anything, I called out: "Zhou Jingwen", and rushed towards him.
Zhou Jingwen looked back as if he had seen a ghost, and immediately turned his head to talk to the person opposite him.He lowered his voice, maybe he just made a mouth shape, but when I ran up, I only had time to see a thin figure from behind.
I knelt down and lifted his trousers to look, but Zhou Jingwen took my hand, leaned over and kissed my face, then leaned his head on my shoulder coquettishly, and said, "Brother, I knew you would come to pick me up."
"Does your foot hurt anymore?" I stubbornly pushed him away and stood up, looked down at him and asked, "Who were you talking to so angry just now?"
"Student, he's just an idiot, don't pay attention to him." Zhou Jingwen helped the pillar to stand up, and asked me again with a smile, "How long have you been here?"
"I heard it all. What does your classmate mean?"
Zhou Jingwen stood with his head down. After standing for a while, his feet probably hurt, so he leaned against the pillar and looked at me with a gloomy expression. His lips moved, but his mouth was still stiff: "It's not interesting. That man pestered me. I don't want to talk to him. I just made up your story, originally to let him understand that I only love you, who knows that his pig brain can't tell the truth from the fake."
"You said you made up stories? Zhou Jingwen, if I believe it, I'll be a pig brain."
His face turned pale all of a sudden, and he reached out to grab my hand, but I blocked it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, why don't you believe me?"
I stared at him angrily: "Don't divert the focus for me. Tell the truth, my parents really picked me up?"
"no!"
"is not it?"
But Zhou Jingwen lost his temper suddenly, turned around and left. I didn't expect him to react like this. Seeing him dragging his legs in pain, I couldn't help but chase after him.
"Go home." Zhou Jingwen stopped in front of my dad's car and said.
I didn't understand what he meant, so I looked at him suspiciously, and Zhou Jingwen opened the car door and got in.I remembered that I was in a hurry just now, and the car door was not locked.I stood for a while, and then got into the car.
It was raining heavily, and the wind was also strong. Zhou Jingwen seemed a little scared, so he turned to me and said, "Brother, let's wait a while before leaving. It's not safe to rain like this."
I grabbed the steering wheel and asked without turning my head: "Are you afraid that I will go home and ask my parents?"
"elder brother."
Zhou Jingwen called me cautiously, but I ignored him, thinking about what I just heard in the basement.Although I'm not sure, I actually believed it. Thinking about my parents' unreasonable attitude towards me, this guess is even more certain.
There are actually two roads back to my house. One is relatively close, but the road has been repaired recently and it is not easy to walk.
On these two roads, I made the wrong choice.What I originally thought was that Zhou Jingwen's feet were not suitable for bumps, and besides, I had walked that slope before, so there would be no problem.
But what I didn't expect was that there was a problem with my dad's car. The brakes didn't work at all, so that when the car rushed down, my mind went blank when I realized it.Zhou Jingwen noticed my abnormality, quickly understood what happened, and tensed his body with a white face.
The accident happened in an instant. Our car couldn't stop, but another heavy truck came from the opposite side. Both Zhou Jingwen and I saw it, but it was obviously too late to avoid it. I tried my best to turn the steering wheel.
The last impression in my memory is that Zhou Jingwen hugged me tightly with his body at the last second.I heard a loud bang and lost consciousness without even feeling the pain.
