Before his son leaves, Xie Zhu hopes to realize his son's wishes.

Xie Zhu said; "Zhou Yue has not had much freedom since he was a child. Since elementary school, we have asked him for tutors, enrolled in various tuition classes, interest classes, and even behavior etiquette classes. We set him an entrance guard. No matter whether it is school or school, he has a special person to pick him up, eat three meals a day with food matched by a nutritionist, basically no time for entertainment, and we don’t allow him to play with other children. He grows up so old that he even has an amusement park. Haven't been there once."

"At that time, I was convinced that such an approach was good for him. As long as he is willing to study hard and move forward according to our plan, he will become better than others. When he grows up, he will He will find that his starting line is far ahead of anyone. He will be able to reach the top with ease. At that time, he will know that his parents are doing the right thing."

Speaking, Xie Zhu seemed to regret it, choked and said: "Maybe we put too much pressure on him. Zhou Yue started to have some mental problems when he was in junior high school. The tutor who counseled him said that he was silent for a long time. , Depressed, and his grades are falling back sharply. To this end, we hired a psychiatrist. The doctor diagnosed that he was suffering from depression, prescribed a lot of drugs, and asked us not to put further pressure on him, otherwise the problem would change. More serious."

"But we didn't take depression seriously." Xie Zhu lowered his head, unconsciously fiddling with a cup of coffee delivered by the waiter in the cafe on the table, "I didn't know about this illness at the time. It’s because the children are under too much pressure to study and can’t bear it, so they are in a bad mood, so they just dropped those cram schools and two tutors, and everything else remains as usual."

"The effect was quite good at that time. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, his spirit became better and his grades recovered. After stopping the medicine, he did not relapse, and he became even faster than before."

"My husband thinks that his child is so old that he should make some friends, so he began to take Zhou Yue into the upper-class banquets, and let him interact with the young masters of the nobles. He did a good job, behave in the world, and behave. There is nothing to criticize in his style. In front of many people, he is an excellent, mature and temperamental person. Although he was not old at the time, he has already won praises from many people, which also made our couple very proud. Proud."

"After entering high school, we no longer disciplined him excessively, the access time was removed, and we did not ask him for tutoring or enrolling in cram school, because his grades at the time were so excellent. But we still don’t allow him. He casually associates with other people. We think that his friends should be talents with the same status as him. He is the only son of the Zhou family and was born with a golden spoon. Children who are powerless and ordinary people are not qualified to be his. Friends."

Xie Zhu’s account made Mu Qin clenched his fists, and his nails were stuck in the flesh of his palms. In fact, he already knew this. When he was with Zhou Yue in high school, Zhou Yue said a lot about his family. In the past, when I heard Zhou Yue's brief description, Mu Qin felt that Zhou Yue’s parents were too strict with him. They were a little too strict. I didn’t expect to hear what Xiezhu said today. The degree of excess is far beyond Mu Qin’s. Imagine.

Because before, Zhou Yueke never said that he suffered from depression because of too much pressure.

Mu Qin’s silence seemed to make the opposite Jie Zhu understand Mu Qin’s thoughts, and Xie Zhu said with a wry smile; "Do you think...we did a terrible job to our parents?"

"No, you just hope that your son will become a dragon and your daughter will become a phoenix. Every parent is like this... It's just that your educational methods are too urgent and extreme, so many problems have arisen." Mu Qin calmly answered the woman in front of him.

Xie Zhu covered her face and said dullly: "You don't need to be so tactful, I know we are doing really badly."

Xie Zhu continued: "After Zhou Yue entered high school, we did not control him as we did before, but we still strictly controlled his friends. All of his friends were selected by us. During that period, I I think you should know it best. You are his high school classmate and the person he... has always liked."

"He joined the army after high school. I didn’t agree at first, but my husband also had an old friend in the army. He said that the army can exercise his body and spirit to make the child stronger. We think of him I used to suffer from depression, and I went there for two years, and I returned from exercise. It’s okay to go back to college. Our couple discussed for a while and felt good, so we let Zhou Yue go."

"Unexpectedly, once he went, he never came back in five or six years. No matter how we urged or even threatened to sever the relationship, he never looked back. He stayed in the army wholeheartedly, and even ran to become a special soldier. The Zhou family is No matter how rich, he didn’t have the guts to dig people out of the government. He had no choice but to let him go. As a result, when we finally saw him, he lay in the hospital and turned into a vegetative... lay there motionless... …"

Xie Zhu started crying again as he talked, "I shouldn't have sent him to the army... I shouldn't let him go... I know, he just wants to get rid of our control, he just wants to break with the Zhou family. , He has always hated us very much..."

Mu Qin did not comfort the woman, and watched her crying quietly. Fortunately, Xie Zhu did not cry for too long. She controlled her emotions very quickly: "I was in his room after Zhou Yue’s accident. I found this diary, and after reading the diary, I realized that he actually fell in love with someone of the same sex."

Xie Zhu opened the diary lying on the table: "I didn't understand at first, but now it doesn't matter if I understand or not. His time is running out, and I realized...I did this. His mother’s love has never been given to his mother. His school days were spent in constant learning, hypocritical friends, and indifferent family. He has no real friends, and the only person he loves is also Only you."

Xie Zhu hoped that Mu Qin would read this diary, and she then said to Mu Qin: "

Zhou Yue is now in the hospital. I am here to ask you for help this time, hoping that you can take care of him for a period of time. The doctor said that the chance of a vegetative awakening is very small, but if the people close to him often accompany him and He chats and gives him some external stimuli, and he still has the possibility of waking up. "

Xie Zhu said and shook his head: "Although I am his mother, in fact... I am not very close to my husband, and the child Zhou Yue. My husband has too many things to do and he has no time to care about the child. , I also always acted arrogantly in front of my children because of some selfish reasons. Later, Zhou Yue didn’t even call our parents much. During the years when he joined the army, he rarely came back to see us."

"So do you think that Zhou Yue is the only person close to me?" After listening to Xie Zhu's series of recounts, Mu Qin raised this question to her.

Xie Zhu was full of guilt, and said: "Yes... I still read his diary to find out that he had a relationship with you... Uh, very good."

"I have persuaded my husband to let him wait another six months." Xie Zhu raised his head to look at Mu Qin, "And in the past six months, I want you to get along with Zhou Yue and try to wake him up, no matter what you ask me for. You can promise, you can ask for money or anything else, please be sure to... promise me this matter."

"Do you really think this is possible?" Mu Qin unknowingly used honorific words to the woman in front of him, appearing a little indifferent and alienated, "Since graduating from high school, Zhou Yue and I have basically no contact anymore. Now, we have been separated for nearly ten years. If ten years ago, I might still have a bit of confidence, but now ten years later, let alone being close, Zhou Yue and I are like strangers, awakening him This matter is like a fantasy. You might as well go find a close comrade in his army and try it."

"I tried it!" Xie Zhu lowered his head, painfully stretched out his hand to grab the clothes on his chest, "He found all the people he knew, maybe close people, but it didn't work, he still slept there, he Will not wake up!"

"So I can only come to you." Xie Zhu looked at Mu Qin expectantly, "Please...no, I beg you!"

Mu Qin knew that he had no reason to reject her.

Because the moment Mu Qin heard this woman say that "Zhou Yue has become a vegetative", Mu Qin could not wait to fly to Zhou Yue's side, even though they had not seen each other for many years. Although the relationship between them is ambiguous and embarrassing, Mu Qin wants to see him. If he doesn't know it, he wants to see Zhou Yue.

So Mu Qin agreed to understand Zhu's request and promised to take care of Zhou Yue within half a year. As for Xie Zhu's proposal to give Mu Qin some money as compensation, Mu Qin did not accept it. Seeing his tough attitude, Xie Zhu replied: "You will always use some money to take care of Zhou Yue, and in order to take care of him, your own work may also be delayed. I hope you can ask for leave from the company where you work. Half a year, this half year, I hope you will take Zhou Yue out of the hospital to go shopping in other places, and all these require money."

When Xie Zhu said this, Mu Qin couldn't help but carefully consider what Xie Zhu said was right. In the end, he accepted the compensation for understanding Zhu said.

After that, they left the cafe, and Xie Zhu drove Mu Qin to the hospital to see Zhou Yue.

When I saw Zhou Yue in the ward, Zhou Yue looked terrible.

Because of the busy work of the Zhou family and his wife, they did not have time to take care of Zhou Yue, a vegetative person, so they could only leave him in the hospital and spend tens of thousands of monthly nursing fees for medical staff to take care of him. Yue takes care. Zhou Yue is still haggard. He does not chew when he is vegetative. He eats liquid food. Long time of inactivity and bed rest make him look thin like a bamboo pole. His skinny muscles atrophy. See this. Zhou Yue, Mu Qin's heart was aching like a needle.

Mu Qin didn't expect that after the farewell that year, when they met again, Zhou Yue turned out to be like this! This pair...

This situation made Mu Qin feel both uncomfortable and regretful. He didn’t know what to do with the grains in his heart. His heart hurts as if he was caught by something, making him unable to breathe. When he saw lying on the bed, he couldn’t breathe. In Yue's appearance, he even felt that his thinking had disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhu began to explain to Mu Qin why Zhou Yue became a vegetable.

Xie Zhu said: "It is said that Zhou Yue was on mission with the troops and exchanged fire with a group of terrorists. A stray bullet hit him in the head. He was unconscious on the spot. After being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, the doctor said that the bullet fragments were stuck. The core position of his brain could not be taken out at all, and he never woke up after that."

Listening to Zhu's words, Mu Qin couldn't bear the restlessness in his heart. He walked to Zhou Yue's bed and looked down at Zhou Yue's sleep. He reached out and touched Zhou Yue's hand gently. His hands were as thin as wood and a little cold.

Mu Qin vaguely recalled the way when Zhou Yue stood in front of him and smiled at Mu Qin back then. Zhou Yue was lively and cheerful at that time and liked to smile at Mu Qin very much. Mu Qin could still remember the touch that Zhou Yue felt when he touched him with his hand. Zhou Yue's hands were warm, his fingers were slender and his skin was delicate, just like the hands of those hand models in magazines.

But now... Zhou Yue's hands are not only thin, but also full of scars.

Mu Qin couldn't control himself not to be sad, he was silent for a moment, turned his head and said to Xie Zhu: "Can I call you auntie?"

Jie Zhu was taken aback when he heard the words, and replied: "Yes...Yes."

"Then Auntie, can you go out for a while? I want to be alone with him for a while." Muqin has rarely shown intense emotions on his face, but when his emotions fluctuate greatly, he will lower His own voice was slow and very gentle.

Xie Zhu hesitated for a while, nodded for a while and went out, leaving Muqin alone in the ward.

Mu Qin continued to lower his head, held Zhou Yue's hand, and continued to gently say to Zhou Yue: "I'm sorry... Zhou Yue, I'm back late."

……

Three months after that, according to his agreement with Xiezhu, Mu Qin took a half-year holiday with the company, rented a small room near the hospital to sleep, and started taking care of Zhou Yue every day. He talked to Zhou Yue, studied books, cleaned up Zhou Yue's body, massaged, cut his hair and nails, etc., and also carried him into a wheelchair and pushed Zhou Yue out for a walk.

Actually, Xie Zhu, Zhou Yue’s mother, asked Zhou Yue to take care of him. Mu Qin did not need to do everything by himself, but Mu Qin wanted to do so, so he gave the caregiver more money and asked him to teach Mu Qin massage Mu Qin learned the patient's technique fairly quickly, and it will look good in two months.

In the past three months, except for the first month, Xie Zhu frequently visited Zhou Yue, but in the next two months, she basically didn't come here much. As for Xie Zhu's husband, Zhou Yue's father, and the current parent of the Zhou family, they never appeared. But whether he doesn't show up, Mu Qin doesn't really want to see Zhou Yue's father.

During the three months, although Mu Qin worked very hard to take care of Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue was still thin and showed no signs of waking up.

There is no miracle, and there is no miracle event in which Zhou Yue would move his fingers or eyelids to respond when Mu Qin called him. He was lying on his bed as always, like a fairy tale sleep. She fell asleep like a beauty, even though his skinny figure made him seem indifferent to the "beauty".

But in Mu Qin's heart, Zhou Yue is a beauty, a very beautiful kind.

Mu Qin also took care of Zhou Yue's body as usual today. First, he stripped Zhou Yue naked, gave him a simple massage of his limbs, then wiped his whole body with a towel, and then gave Zhou Yue a full body massage. Mu Qin kneaded his pale paper skin with his fingers until some pink marks appeared on it.

After the massage, Mu Qin began to dress him. Mu Qin pulled out Zhou Yue's clothes from the cabinet next to him. After putting on his clothes and pants, Mu Qin began to look for his socks. When turning over the drawer, Muqin saw a card in the drawer.

This card has been in the drawer of Zhou Yue's bedside table. Muqin found it before and took it up and observed it carefully.

This is a white card, that is, the front is completely blank, and the back is a gorgeous dark blue starry sky pattern. There seems to be a faint five-star magic array under the starry sky background.

This card is stained with a small amount of blood, the kind of blood that has solidified into black. Mu Qin doesn’t know what the card is. He asked Mu Qin’s mother, Xie Zhu, and Xie Zhu said it was Zhou Yue’s time. When the accident happened, after he was sent to the hospital, the doctor found it in the pocket of his clothes and didn't throw it away, but kept it in the drawer of the bedside table in his ward.

This strange card attracted Mu Qin in some way. Mu Qin once thought about it carefully, but no matter how it looked at it, it was just an ordinary card. Mu Qin couldn’t figure out what was wrong, just I can leave it alone.

But it’s very strange to think about it. This kind of blood stains and there are weird cards like magic circles on it. No matter how you think it’s a bit ominous, Muchin thinks it’s better to throw it away, so he put the card away. The card was stuffed into his pocket, planning to go out and throw it out in the trash can later.

He put on socks and shoes for Zhou Yue, took him in the wheelchair, combed Zhou Yue's hair, and looked at Zhou Yue's peaceful sleep.

Zhou Yue’s lips were also pale. Mu Qin stared at him for a while, and couldn't help but leaned closer, giving Zhou Yue a small kiss on his lips.

After the kiss, Muqin continued to talk to him: "You would kiss me like this before. As long as no one sees it, you must kiss me. I even hated you because of you. It’s so clingy."

Speaking, Mu Qin squatted in front of Zhou Yue and reached out to hold Zhou Yue's hand, "Now you can stick to me like before, I won't mind anymore."

Zhou Yue didn't speak, he was sitting quietly in his wheelchair, his head was lowered, his hands were held by Mu Qin, and he looked very peaceful and peaceful.

Mu Qin is not discouraged. In the first three months, watching Zhou Yue's motionless and half-dead state makes Mu Qin feel very uncomfortable. However, when he feels uncomfortable, he seems to get used to Zhou. Yue looks like this now. The heart was a little numb, and Mu Qin would no longer think about whether Zhou Yue could wake up in the end. He just wanted to take good care of Zhou Yue and be able to stay with Zhou Yue in the past six months.

"Let’s go for a walk." Mu Qin stood up, walked around behind the wheelchair and pushed the wheelchair, pushed Zhou Yue out of the ward, and continued talking as he walked: "I plan to take you out for fun in the next two days. Far away, in the city next door, there is a small attraction there, I can drive you to it. Your mother also hopes that I can take you for a drive, lying in bed will definitely make you feel uncomfortable, after all, you used to be inactive. People."

While speaking, Mu Qin pushed Zhou Yue out of the ward, pushed him to the elevator door, pressed the elevator button to wait for the elevator, and he planned to take Zhou Yue to a nearby park for a walk.

While waiting for the elevator, Mu Qin crouched down to adjust the height of Zhou Yue's wheelchair and adjust Zhou Yue's sitting posture. Just when he was doing this, the elevator came and the elevator door opened after a small jingle, and there was only one person inside.

Mu Qin subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the people in the elevator, and found that he was a man wearing a gray-black trench coat, black trousers, leather shoes, a hood, and his head down looking a little gloomy.

This man is a bit tall, about one meter eight meters tall, and the wide windbreaker can't completely cover his strong and powerful body. But what caught Muqin’s attention was that this man was almost dressed in black...The black clothes in the hospital had a bad sign. Most of the family members who came to the hospital to visit patients would not wear this kind of clothes as long as they had a bit of IQ. Doctors Nurses don't even know how to wear black clothes. Angels in white clothes are not called casually, and patients also have special hospital gowns.

It’s not that there are no black clothes in the hospital. Most of them are family members or patients who hurriedly followed with the ambulance. Some are wearing black clothes too late to change.

But the first floor of the hospital's ambulance room, Muqin is now on the fifth floor of the hospital, which is the inpatient area.

Maybe it’s because he was trained as a soldier. Muqin has an extremely keen awareness of "abnormal conditions" and "dangerous people". He can instantly distinguish a person’s quality, and he can even look at someone Human eyes can tell if someone has killed someone.

The man in the elevator gave Muqin an "uncomfortable" feeling at first glance.

But the other party didn't seem to be coming at Mu Qin. The man bypassed Mu Qin and Zhou Yue in the wheelchair, passed them by, and then walked towards the depths of the corridor behind Mu Qin. Mu Qin looked back at him without a trace, thinking about his own business, so he pushed Zhou Yue into the elevator, followed the elevator downstairs, left the hospital, and went for a walk in the nearby park to enjoy the sun.

It was almost noon after Mu Qin took Zhouyue Park for a walk, and Zhou Yue’s pale complexion, who had been exposed to the sun, looked much more normal. Mu Qin was very satisfied and took him back to the hospital. However, when he pushed Zhou Yue back to Zhou Yue's ward, he found a group of doctors and nurses outside the door of Zhou Yue's ward. Among them were two policemen in police uniforms standing.

A group of people were chatting around the door of the ward, as if they were discussing something. Mu Qin didn't know it, and vaguely realized that something bad had happened. He first pushed Zhou Yue past. When Mu Qin Zhou Yue came, one of the group of doctors and nurses rushed over. It was Zhou Yue’s attending doctor. He rushed over to Mu Qin and said, "Where have you been?"

"Where did I go... I took Zhou Yue for a walk." Mu Qin answered the doctor's words, then glanced at the police behind the doctor and asked: "What happened?"

The doctor replied: "You seem to have a thief in your ward."

"A thief?" Mu Qin was slightly surprised when he heard the words, "has something been stolen?"

The doctor replied: "No, it was just a mess. The nurse who came in for the checkup looked at the ward thinking that something was wrong with you, so he called the police."

Mu Qin looked inside the ward after hearing that, and he found that Zhou Yue’s ward was in a mess. Zhou Yue lived in a single ward. Zhou’s family was rich and would like to give him a good place to live. The medical equipment in it was very good. It is complete, but now it has been turned over in a mess, the cabinets have been pulled apart, the contents are scattered on the ground, and the quilts and sheets have also been torn off.
