when you look at me

Yuan Yiping and Chen Shuo sat outside the ICU until morning.

At eight o'clock, a very young female doctor entered the ICU and came out not long after. Looking at the two of them, she asked, "Who is the family member?"

"I," Chen Shuo stood up, "how is he?"

The female doctor frowned and didn't answer directly, she just said, "Come with me."

Chen Shuo patted the back of Yuan Yiping's hand, and left with the female doctor.

Last night Yuan Yiping came in a hurry and had little clothes on. Chen Shuo was afraid that he would be cold, so he took off his jacket and put it on his body.As soon as Chen Shuo left, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

It was Tang Qingyu's mobile phone, and after "Caller" there were two words: Wang Yuan.

Yuan Yiping didn't know whether to answer it, let alone what to say when he answered it, so he could only hold the vibrating mobile phone helplessly.After tens of seconds, Wang Yuan hung up the phone.However, within 2 minutes, he called again.

Wang Yuan didn't know that Tang Qingyu was ill, so he called one after another early in the morning-could it be something urgent?

Fortunately, Chen Shuo came back at this time, and Yuan Yiping handed him the phone: "It's Wang Yuan, that's Tang Qingyu's 'friend'——Wang Yuan and I are schoolmates, and we met Tang Qingyu when we had dinner together."

Chen Shuo's face was pale, he stared at the phone screen for a few seconds, and then picked up the phone.

"...I'm not Tang Qingyu, I'm his friend."

"He's sick and can't answer the phone now. If you have something urgent—in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Eighth Hospital,"

"He's in a very bad condition... come quickly if you want to see him."

Chen Shuo hung up the phone and sighed heavily.

Yuan Yiping asked softly, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said," Chen Shuo glanced at Yuan Yiping, then lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain, "His kidney failure is very serious, and his lymph nodes have also intensified...it will be about two days, let's get ready." Aftermath."

"Get ready for the funeral".Ten years ago, Yuan Yiping had already heard such words.

Almost formed some kind of conditioned reflex, Yuan Yiping shuddered violently, he grabbed Chen Shuo's hand, and Chen Shuo's hand was as cold as his.

"Chen Shuo..." He whispered, "We..." He didn't know what to say.

They experienced death together ten years ago, but they didn't expect to experience it again ten years later.

"I'm here," Chen Shuo squeezed Yuan Yiping's hand, "Yiping, don't be afraid."

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Yuan arrived at the Eighth People's Hospital of Guangzhou.

The shirt and trousers that should have been straight on his body have become wrinkled. He probably came directly from the office, and he even had a briefcase in his hand.

"What happened to Tang Qingyu?! You said he-AIDS?!" Wang Yuan grabbed Chen Shuo's arm: "How is it possible?!"

His eyes were bloodshot, red like a raging lion.

"He was diagnosed in August, and he didn't tell you." Chen Shuo paused, and said, "I don't know exactly how he got infected."

"What about others?! Let me tell him!"

"It's not visiting time now, and," Chen Shuo took a step back, said in a hoarse voice, "He's already in a coma, and the doctor asked us to prepare for his funeral."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yuan stopped moving, like a ball of hot wax being frozen in an instant, he stared straight at Chen Shuo, and after a few seconds, he asked, "What did you just say?"

Chen Shuo didn't answer.

Yuan Yiping thought that Chen Shuo would tell Wang Yuan the reason why Tang Qingyu got AIDS: he was infected with AIDS during an unsafe sexual relationship.However, Chen Shuo finally fulfilled Tang Qingyu's wish. He said that he didn't know how Tang Qingyu got this disease.

But can Wang Yuan accept it?A living person suddenly became unconscious. He didn't even know why Tang Qingyu was infected with AIDS, so he had to prepare for Tang Qingyu's funeral.

Can he accept it?

However, Wang Yuan didn't say anything else, he went to the nurse's station, and soon returned to the entrance of the ICU, standing silently.

Yuan Yiping had no choice but to think to himself, probably to Wang Yuan, Tang Qingyu was just a good friend or a fellow villager, not a close relative.Wang Yuan may be sad, but it won't be a catastrophe.

At 18:09 in the evening, Tang Qingyu suffered a sudden respiratory arrest and was pushed into the operating room for rescue.

At 19:32, Tang Qingyu was pushed out, and the doctor put him on a ventilator. His whole body was sallow, his neck and abdomen were swollen due to swollen lymph nodes, and his body was full of tubes.

"The situation is like this." It was the young female doctor in the morning again: "The patient's current situation... Let me tell the truth, it is just a waste of time. We still recommend that your family members be prepared. Once the ventilator is withdrawn, the patient's life will be saved. The body will soon be unable to support it. You see, in the current situation, we also have to consider economic factors, right. And the patient also suffers like this... You can discuss it, and come to me as soon as possible if you have any questions. "

Yuan Yiping and Chen Shuo looked at each other, knowing that the doctor was suggesting to stop the treatment.Indeed, Tang Qingyu's body had reached the point where he could not recover, and it would be really torture if he continued to hold on.

However, Wang Yuan flatly refused: "Money is not a problem, just do your best to save him."

"Of course we tried our best to save him!" The doctor's face became a little displeased: "The patient came to us for treatment because he believed in us. Fairy, right?"

Wang Yuan was silent for a moment, and asked, "Can I be transferred? Which hospital in Guangzhou is better?"

"Can't be transferred," the doctor said helplessly, "His body cannot withstand such a toss, and... the result is the same no matter which hospital he transfers to."

"No!" Wang Yuan yelled suddenly: "He is in very good health! Also, can't he live for a long time with AIDS?! Such a living person, you tell me to give up treatment?! Impossible!"

"Then..." The doctor looked at Chen Shuo: "You can negotiate again, okay?"

After the doctor left, Wang Yuan began to call non-stop. Yuan Yiping heard him call "Zhang Chu" and "Doctor Yang" at one time, describing Tang Qingyu's condition over and over again tirelessly.

Yuan Yiping was a little surprised by Wang Yuan's reaction just now. In the few contacts with Wang Yuan, he was always calm and calm, and it could even be said that the city was deep.Although Tang Qingyu was his friend, but—but it was true that the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do.

Yuan Yiping was a little confused, he didn't know why Wang Yuan's reaction was so intense.Did he really think he could save Tang Qingyu?

In the ICU, the cost per day is tens of thousands.At around ten o'clock in the evening, Tang Qingyu's heart stopped suddenly and he was rescued, but the doctor said that his body was extremely weak and he might leave at any time.

At noon the next day, Tang Qingyu's heart rate increased significantly, and two more tubes were added to his body.

A white-haired doctor came to persuade Wang Yuan: "The patient is your friend? Well, you see, he has suffered so much. If you continue to waste like this, you must be out of money. We might as well let him suffer less." Sin, get rid of it as soon as possible, don’t you think? We understand your feelings, but it’s really meaningless to go on like this.”

Wang Yuan stared at the door of the ICU and shook his head stubbornly.

Yuan Yiping asked Chen Shuo in puzzlement: "Can he get in touch with a better doctor? Tang Qingyu is still - can he be saved?"

Chen Shuo sighed: "I don't know."

Facts proved that Wang Yuan did not contact a better doctor, and Tang Qingyu could not be saved.

On the evening of the fourth day, there was an autumn rain in Guangzhou, and the air was as cold as water.

Wang Yuan finally agreed and removed Tang Qingyu's ventilator.

An hour and 32 minutes later, Tang Qingyu's heart stopped beating.

These four days were as long as a long delay. They watched Tang Qingyu being pushed to rescue again and again, seeing more and more tubes on his body, and watching his life pass by in such a specific way.

But at this moment, Tang Qingyu left forever.
