Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

After all, Lian Qiao was young and in good health. Although he had a high fever for a few days after the splenectomy, he survived with a bunch of advanced antibiotics.

Aside from his weight loss and a large scar on his stomach, he looked like a normal person—or rather, pretended to be.

He tried his best to show that he was in good condition, and finally got his mother to agree to allow him to sit beside the honeysuckle bed to accompany him instead of being locked up in his own hospital bed.

These days, he has been thinking about it day and night, wanting to see the honeysuckle separated by the bed.At this time, I finally saw it, but my heart was twisted into a ball again.

Lonicera's surgery was a success, but it was not for nothing that she was seriously ill.Xu Liandong, who returned to the ICU, also developed a high fever. He took all available medicines, but his body temperature was still uncontrollable, hovering around 40 degrees.Lian Qiao's mother guessed that it was a central fever, so she put him on the ice blanket machine.

The working principle of the ice blanket machine is very simple. It is a blanket placed under the body. Once the body temperature is detected, it will automatically cool down and physically cool down.

This is for high heat to avoid burning out the brain.

Although the cooling effect of the ice blanket machine is good, the problem is that it is too cold.From time to time, Lian Qiao put his hand on Lonicera's back, touched his ice-like back, always worrying that he might suffer from back pain.Fortunately, as time went by, the treatment gradually took effect, the frequency of honeysuckle fever decreased, and the ice blanket machine worked less and less frequently.

But Lonicera never woke up.

Lian Qiao's mother said that it was because the injury was too severe, and the internal environment in his body was out of balance, and he hadn't recovered.Therefore, his heartbeat has always been very fast, so fast that people worry that the heart will burst due to overwork in the next second; his lung function is also extremely poor, and he cannot do without a ventilator at all, and he developed pneumonia after a long time.The overall situation is not too good.

Lonicera will not be able to get out of the ICU in a short time, but Lian Qiao is getting better every day.So he dragged a tube all over his body and stood by Lonicera's bed, acting as a full-time escort.

After all, even Qiao can be regarded as a patient in the ICU. It is really outrageous for a patient to accompany a patient.Fortunately, even Qiao's parents are members of this hospital, and even Qiao's mother said, "Don't bother him and let him go, he is atoning for his sins."My mother said so, what else do other people have to say?

So Lian Qiao took care of his own injuries while accompanying Lian Dong to heal them.

Time flies by.

During this period of time in the ICU, Lian Qiao fully experienced how they treat patients.It's not that they don't respect patients, some medical operations really can't be respected.

Nurses, for example, turn patients over every day to check for bedsores.

The so-called decubitus refers to the mutual compression of muscles and bones after lying in bed for a long time, resulting in partial damage to the skin.Because the nutritional status of patients who have been bedridden for a long time is not very good, if a bed sore develops, it will be difficult to heal, and in severe cases, it will even rot into the bone.Therefore, as long as conditions permit, the patient must be turned over frequently to avoid long-term compression of the same place and affect the blood supply.

The most prone to bedsores, of course, is the buttocks.

At first, Lian Qiao felt that looking at people's butts every day was a very insignificant thing.Under repeated bombardment by her own mother and nurses, Lian Qiao also began to gradually accept the nursing routine of the ICU, and cooperated with the nurses to turn over.

Lonicera had been lying in the ICU for more than a month, her butt was still as smooth as before, without any red marks.Even the head nurse praised Lian Qiao for taking good care of her, which saved Lonicera a lot of pain.

Turning over is actually okay, but what makes Lian Qiao most distressed is another daily inspection: GSC score.

This is a score for the state of consciousness of comatose patients, involving whether they can respond, whether they can cooperate with opening eyes, whether there is pain response, and so on.Lonicera, who was in a coma, was naturally unable to respond and open his eyes. As for the pain response...

It's actually going to pinch the tits!It is said that this place is more sensitive to pain, so...

Even Joe's eyes almost popped out when he saw the nurse doing it for the first time.After pinching one end and the other, the head nurse called everyone to come and pinch together to see whether the reactions were symmetrical or not.

Lian Qiao only felt that Lonicera's small head was about to be pinched and swollen by them, and was feeling distressed. The head nurse said with a smile: "We pinched you like this when you were unconscious."

Lian Qiao: "..."

ICU patients really have no human rights!

Although there are no human rights, it is true that the ICU can provide the best treatment.Lian Qiao saw that Lonicera's condition was getting better day by day, and the consciousness score turned out to be higher.From being unresponsive at first, to being able to roll his eyeballs under his eyelids, and finally being able to hum indistinctly twice, even Joe's heart was like a rejuvenation of the earth, recovering its temperature bit by bit, and his face was also swollen. Finally got a smile.

Lian Qiao's mother saw it and couldn't help shaking her head.

Alas, this kid really likes him.

Lian Qiao didn't care that he was also a person who had undergone a major operation, so he stayed by Lonicera's bedside day and night.On the one hand, it was for escort, and on the other hand, he was afraid of getting out of the elevator, so that he could go in with Lonicera.

After a long, long time, Liandong finally opened his eyes.

Lian Qiao was so moved that he announced on the spot that he would eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha, and was beaten up by his biological parents.Although Lian Dong woke up, her physical condition was still very poor, and she was transferred to the general ward and stayed there for a long time before being discharged.

Lian Qiao was so happy that he wanted to set off firecrackers, but his parents were very calm.After all, they had expected this result a long time ago, and Lian Dong's discharge from the hospital was less of a psychological burden for them.

They always felt guilty towards Lonicera in their hearts. After all, Lonicera fell from the building to save their bastard.In the end, the bastard just had his spleen cut, but Lian Dong jumped around repeatedly, tossing and tossing for more than two months.

Fortunately, Lonicera recovered and was discharged from the hospital. If something happened to Lonicera, even Joe's parents didn't know how to make amends—what's worse, they didn't even know who to make amends to.

Why.Honeysuckle is so poor.Not only did he have no father and no mother, but he was also raped by this pig in their family.

It is so pitiful!

Due to the long-term bed rest, Lonicera's muscles atrophied so badly that she became so thin that she looked like a skeleton.Lian Qiao wished he could hug his princess upstairs, and only gave up when Lian Dong sternly refused.

They returned to Lian Qiao's home.It was a working day, and even Qiao's parents couldn't leave, so they sent them to the gate of the hospital to watch them go back to their respective departments after getting into the car.At this time, the house was empty.

In the past two months, even Joe has not been home for a day.Even Joe's parents are often squatting in the ICU, so the family has been unpopular for a long time, and the furniture, tables and chairs are cold.However, in order to welcome Lonicera, their house has been cleaned in advance, and fresh vegetables, meat and fruits are also prepared in the refrigerator, and they are waiting for Lonicera to come home and enjoy life.

Lian Qiao helped him into the room, holding him in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holding him in his mouth for fear of melting.Liandong is not used to him like this, and let him do his own thing.Lian Qiao said with a smile, serving you is the only thing I have to do now.

Liandong asked: "Where is your live broadcast room?"

Lian Qiao: "The contract with the platform has been terminated."

Even though Lonicera had expected it, she still frowned slightly.Lian Qiao hurriedly said: "It's not just because of you that I terminated the contract. Don't we still have a copy to finish? I don't have the heart to live broadcast. Let's talk about it after all the dust settles."

Liandong was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Actually, I quit my job too."

Lian Qiao said: "I know. The leader of your company has come to see you. He also asked me when you will be well and if you would like to go back to their company."

Liandong was noncommittal, but just smiled and said: "Oh no, we are both homeless now. I'm going to trouble your parents."

"No trouble, no trouble, the money I saved is still enough." Lian Qiao took out his mobile phone to check the balance and showed him the balance on the spot, "Come on, count it, there are a lot of zeros! I have money, Do not worry!"

This way of coaxing people can be said to be very straightforward.

Liandong's heart softened into a puddle of water, she had nothing to say for a while, so she tugged at Lian Qiao's sleeve and said, "Hug me."

Lian Qiao was hooked by these words, and the fire came up all of a sudden, and he rushed to the bed like a hungry tiger.But he was afraid of hurting him, so he moved to his side extremely cautiously.First gently covered him with a soft quilt, and then hugged him into his arms.

Liandong struggled weakly, unable to break free, wrapped in the quilt and murmured: "Don't use this..."

Lian Qiao was taken aback, coughed awkwardly, and said, "I'm used to the aseptic operation, I want to do a safe isolation before I touch you..." He lifted the quilt and got into the bed, hugged Lonicera to his full arms, and carefully gave him He tucked in the quilt, for fear that a little cold wind would blow from his back.

From his almost paranoid cautiousness, Liandong felt his worry and anxiety these days.It felt like a hot water bag was wrapped in my heart, it was warm.Liandong buried her head in his chest, felt his breath after a long time, and suddenly wanted to tell him that she could actually hear the surrounding voices long ago.

He heard Lian Qiao asking "when will he wake up" like a repeater every day, and he heard the doctor yelling and prescribing medical orders when other patients were being rescued.He heard Lian's mother say, "give him a shot, drag him to the bed and don't let him sleep here", he heard Lian's father angrily scold Lian Qiao, "you know what's wrong now, wait for him to wake up Kneel down and make amends for him."

Although he didn't feel anything physically, he knew from Lian Qiao's ramblings how many tubes of blood and needles he had received today.He knew that Lian Qiao turned him over and massaged him every day to avoid bed sores and muscle atrophy as much as possible.He even vaguely felt that when his heart stopped beating again, Lian Qiao and other doctors came to perform chest compressions on him. At that time, it seemed that hot tears fell on his chest.

Days and nights in the ICU flashed before Lian Dong's eyes like a revolving lantern.Countless emotions rolled in his chest, bypassing his mouth, and finally there was only one sentence left:

"These days, I miss you too."

Lian Qiao gently stroked his hair.After a long time, he uttered a crying "um".

Liandong raised her head slightly and said, "I want to kiss you, but I don't have the strength."

Lian Qiao immediately held his face and kissed him.

The corners of Lonicera's mouth raised slightly.After kissing enough, he said, "I want to hug you, but I don't have the strength."

Lian Qiao hugged him and rolled around on the bed.

Enough rolling, Liandong said: "I want to go to..."

Lian Qiao suddenly turned pale with shock, and covered his mouth: "No, you don't want to! If you think about it, you will be locked up!"

Lonicera: "...I just want to go to the bathroom."

Lian Qiao: "..."

Liandong: "What do you think I want to fuck?"

Lian Qiao: "..." Why did you improve your driving skills after lying down for two months!

After that, of course the two didn't drive, but went to the bathroom together in harmony and integrity, and then started watching TV in harmony and integrity.

After staying in the ICU for a long time, my ears are usually filled with the beeps of various monitors and the sounds of doctors and nurses resuscitating.At this moment, Lonicera can finally watch TV, and even the commercials are very good-looking.

After watching it with relish for a while, Liandong suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "By the way, how did you get out in the end?"

"Ah?" Lian Qiao was peeling the shell of the honeysuckle pills, but he didn't react when he heard the words, "What?"

"It's... that..." Liandong felt that his brain was not bright after sleeping for a long time, and he thought for a while before he remembered the name of the dungeon, "...Wu Zang Temple."

"Oh." Lian Qiao suddenly realized, "That's it. I came out after killing the gentleman."

Liandong opened his mouth, wanting to ask for details, but suddenly his heart twitched, and he thought of something more important.

"You should have used my kidney at that time." Liandong said, "Because I was already in a coma and would not be in pain. Besides, you were not sure at that time whether you would be able to open the door and leave immediately after sacrificing the kidney. Are there other dangers? The only combat power in your team at that time, you shouldn't..."

Lian Qiao interrupted him: "I understand the truth, but I can't do it."

Lonicera was taken aback.

Lian Qiao lowered his head and peeled the orange, and repeated very calmly: "I can't do it."

Liandong sighed: "I know you love me. But you also know that as soon as the dungeon comes out, I will..."

Lian Qiao asked, "What if it was you instead?"

Liandong was taken aback again.

Lian Qiao stuffed the orange into his mouth and said with a smile: "If you were awake at that time, would you dig out my kidney?"

Liandong felt her heart being clenched all of a sudden.Only at this moment did he suddenly realize—yes, if he had exchanged positions, if he had had to make a choice at that time, then he would have dug out his own kidney without hesitation.

Injuring Lian Qiao is far more painful than his own injury.He is willing to sacrifice everything for Lian Qiao.

But on the other hand, when Lian Qiao sacrificed for him, he accused Lian Qiao of being irrational?

What is he doing...

Liandong's heart was filled with self-blame, so she could only sigh and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Lian Qiao suddenly smiled wryly: "What are you apologizing for? It's obviously me who should apologize."

Lonicera was inexplicable, showing a confused look full of question marks.Lian Qiao said: "If it wasn't for my recklessness, how could we have fallen from the seventh floor? After all, it's all my fault..."

That's what I was talking about.Liandong smiled and said, "I'll forget it if you don't mention it."

Lian Qiao sighed and hugged him.The person in his arms was as thin as a skeleton, and he held his arms, which made his heart ache.

"I don't know how to compensate you... When you entered the ICU, I felt that I would die ten thousand times, but what's the use of blaming myself, I have no way to suffer for you, I have no way to atone for my sins... I Really... a kidney is nothing, if I can exchange it for you, I can dig it out and give you everything..."

He is confessing.He was repenting for his reckless impulse, but a big mistake had been made, and apology and regret were useless.

Lonicera's injuries in reality cannot be fully recovered, and can only be healed slowly.He will have sequelae, and he will suffer from illness all his life.

At this moment, Xu Rendong suddenly had a very strange idea in his heart: he thought that even Joe would be bound by guilt from now on.Even Joe will treat him well forever and never leave him for the rest of his life.

... But is this really good?

Guilt is self-torture, and he knows it all too well.He also caused Lian Qiao to die tragically because of his own mistakes, suspicion, willfulness, and ignorance.At that time, he was so guilty that he wished he could die to apologize.

So he understood Lian Qiao's current mood very well.

However, unlike himself, Lian Qiao will not be reborn, he has no chance to make up for his mistakes, he will always bear this self-blame, and will be a prisoner, willing to become a prisoner.

this is not fair.

This is not the love Xu Rendong wants.

So he sighed, rubbed Joe Lian's hair, and said, "Let's stop talking about it. Let's all stop blaming ourselves, shall we?"

Lian Qiao's eyes were red: "But..."

Xu Rendong thought for a while and asked, "Do you still feel sorry for me and want to be punished?"

Lian Qiao nodded.

Xu Rendong: "Then stretch out your hand."

Without even thinking about it, Joe obediently stretched out his hand.

Xu Rendong grabbed his hand and bit the back of his hand hard.Lian Qiao bit her lip in pain, but resisted her physical instinct, and instead put her hand into his mouth, as if hoping that he would bite harder.

Xu Rendong let go of his teeth, saw the deep teeth marks on the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, the penalty is over. Let's turn the page."

Only then did Lian Qiao recall what Liandong had said to him when he first entered the elevator:

"Don't apologize. I will punish you when I go home."

In fact, Lonicera never blamed him.Even the so-called punishment was just to make him feel better.

The emotions that have been suppressed in the bottom of my heart these days finally broke through the gate and rushed out.Lian Qiao threw herself into Lonicera's arms and cried out loudly.

When Lian Qiao cried, he made Lian Dong laugh.

Really like a child.Liandong hugged him, lowered her head and kissed lightly on the top of his head.

After an unknown amount of time, Lian Qiao finally had enough crying, but she was still clinging to his arms, unwilling to let go of her tiredly.In fact, Lian Dong was not willing to let him go.Having not been close for so many days, Liandong also misses him terribly.

Until Liandong sat sore and moved his body slightly, Lian Qiao immediately noticed his exhaustion, so he took a cushion and let him lie down.

Liandong smiled and said, "I'm not that weak. By the way—" He remembered the unfinished topic before, "Is the gentleman dead?"

As soon as the gentleman was mentioned, Lian Qiao became angry, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry, he's already dead."

Liandong sighed: "Every time I thought he was too dead to die."

Lian Qiao: "This time is different. This time I saw the news of his death on TV."

"TV?" Liandong was quite surprised.In the past, people who died in dungeons rarely appeared on TV.The dungeon usually arranges a natural death method for the deceased in reality. For example, if Xu Rendong and the others fail to pass the level this time, they will die by falling from a building.Of course, from outsiders' perspective, they committed suicide for love, and they were also homosexuals.If you want to be on TV, you can still be on it.

Lian Qiao took out his mobile phone: "I'll show you."

He clicked on a video, which was news two months ago, which happened to be the day they fell from the building.

In the news, an elementary school teacher was found hanged in the teacher's apartment.The door of the on-site room was locked, and the only key was in the teacher's pocket.There was also a suicide note with the key, which was identified as the teacher's handwriting.This shows that the teacher did commit suicide.

The more Lonicera looked at it, the more frightened she became.

Judging from the photos given by the TV station, the teacher who committed suicide was undoubtedly a gentleman.But... how could he kill himself?

His kind of person would commit suicide?

Lian Qiao affirmed: "It is indeed a suicide. I also suspected it, so I asked my acquaintances to go to the criminal police to find out the news. It turned out to be true. There is no doubt that it was suicide. The monitoring has proved that the gentleman bought the rope himself and entered it himself. The house is locked. Unless there are ghosts in the real world, there is no second possibility."

Liandong was silent for a moment: "I guessed that he is a teacher, but he is actually a primary school teacher... Are the children he teaches okay?"

Lian Qiao smiled: "It's okay. In fact, he is very cowardly in reality. I read the suicide note in his pocket, and it was full of crying complaints. He was bullied by the students' parents and suppressed by the leaders. Anyway, he was beaten by the society." Will commit suicide. The writing is so good that those who see it will be sad and those who hear it will cry."

A burst of anger surged up in Liandong's heart, and she cursed: "Sad ass. If you are deflated, you have a reason to take revenge on the society?"

Lian Qiao shrugged: "I think he just wanted to pull people's backs before he died. After this incident was exposed, the media and the Internet scolded and treated those parents and leaders as human flesh, causing everyone to lose their jobs. It was a terrible mess. big."

Liandong: "Then why don't you take the suicide note away?"

Lian Qiao sighed: "It's useless. He brought this suicide note into the dungeon from reality. I took it from the dungeon, and it returned to his pocket as soon as I got out of the elevator. He is obviously prepared. If he doesn't die, he will Take revenge on the society in the dungeon, and use the suicide note to take revenge on the society in reality if you die. Anyway, you have a dark mind, and you have to take revenge on the society no matter what.”

After hearing this, Liandong felt depressed, and wanted to kill the gentleman a few more times.

The gentleman's matter did not affect Lonicera for long.In the evening, even Joe's parents came back.Lonicera's attention was instantly diverted.

"Lian..." Facing Lian Qiao's parents, Liandong stammered for a long time, several names on the tip of her tongue, and finally could only timidly shout out twice, "Director Lian, Director Qiao."

The two directors also felt a little embarrassed.Patients who have just been discharged from the hospital during the day are waiting for them at home at night.For a while, they also felt that their identities could not be changed, and they didn't know how to speak.

Lian Qiao quietly shook Lonicera's hand under the dining table, and said encouragingly: "Don't be so pretentious, you can change your name."

Even Qiao's original intention was to resolve the embarrassment, but he never expected that the three of them felt as if they had been struck by lightning after hearing this.

Liandong: "..." What should I call it, father-in-law or mother-in-law or...

Lian Qiao's mother: "..." Am I a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law?

Even Qiao's father: "..." I don't want to know whether my son is on the top or the bottom, okay!
