Exotic Endangered Species

Lin Heng pushed open the door of the ward, and inserted the few flowers in his hand into the glass bottle on the bedside. He adjusted them meticulously, and adjusted their postures to what he thought were the most beautiful postures.These rather bright little flowers added some color and vitality to this pale and cold ward, making the suffocating smell of disinfectant in the air a little bit nicer.

Lin Heng said gently, "Mom, I'm here to see you."

The woman lying on the hospital bed was extremely haggard and thin, with only bones left on her body, and her long black and beautiful hair had already been lost due to chemotherapy.She was wearing a ventilator, and her breathing was so weak that she seemed to stop at any moment. Tubes were inserted all over her body. The unbearable pain made her frown even in a drowsy state.

Lin Heng called out twice again: "Mom? Mom..."

The woman still didn't respond. Lin Heng choked his throat and didn't dare to speak again. He took a deep breath, sat down and held his mother's hand, but didn't dare to use force.

He was afraid that this woman's soul would be shattered as soon as he exerted force, escaping from this body, and even the occasional sobriety that seemed to be a gift from heaven would become a luxury, so he could only whisper and say something happy

Lin Heng seldom talks about his thoughts with others. No matter how good his relationship is with his friends on the surface, he will not expose his wounds.He seldom talked about trivial matters, but occasionally made a joke to let himself fit in with the group.I will also say some irrelevant things depending on the situation, and like everyone else, talking about those lighthearted and slightly boring little things can not only bring us closer, but also lower the defenses of others.

But since his mother became seriously ill, he became more and more willing to talk about trivial things that he used to be too lazy to say a word to anyone in the ward, as if if he didn't say it at this time, he would never have the chance to say it again.He can talk for a long time alone, as if the unconscious woman is his best listener.

Lin Heng folded the corner of the quilt for his mother with the other hand, bowed his head in silence for a while, and then suddenly laughed, his expression was cheerful and bright, his black eyes curved into beautiful arcs, and even every word he said Every word seems to be a lively note, full of positivity.

"I met a big dog on the way here. It looks very good-looking and majestic. We can raise one in the future. Don't you like dogs? That kind of docile and intelligent big dog. I read related books in my spare time. If you train well, you can even help you go downstairs to buy things, you were always reluctant to go downstairs..."

"I also won the recommendation quota of X University... I didn't want it at first, but I changed my mind later. I think X University is pretty good. Don't you always want me to go to a prestigious university? You always talk about the next door to me The elder sister of mine went to one of the top universities in the country, and she looked extremely envious." Lin Heng chuckled twice: "In the future, others will envy you."

"By the way, there was a girl who confessed to me a few days ago. She was the classmate of the class next door. I refused. In this tense time, how can I still have romantic thoughts? I am obedient!"

"Besides, if I want to find a girlfriend, I must find my mother, you are so beautiful and virtuous, but you also know that I have bad eyesight, so I have to rely on you." Lin Heng twitched the corners of his lips, as if anticipating his mother's reaction : "Don't you often say that young people are too noisy nowadays, few can endure hardships, and their hearts are impetuous and exaggerated? I am also one of the young people. My life is a big event. You must check it out for me!"

"Do you still remember the good friend I mentioned before? His name is Wang Xiao. I planned to bring him sometime for you to meet, but unfortunately he couldn't come because of something. I'll show you other friends later. , and by the way, I can also prove that I am not a lone ranger, you are always worried that I will be taciturn and timid in class, but in fact, I am doing very well."

Lin Heng said solemnly: "Really, I am popular. Your son is so handsome and smart, who wouldn't like me?"

Lin Heng blinked, his eye sockets were sore, he didn't dare to use force, but his fingers trembled so much that he couldn't calm down, but he couldn't bear to let go of the warmth in his palm, and after a while of silence, he continued: "Dad... has been working outside , summer vacation, summer vacation, he will come to see you!"

"Didn't you say you miss him? He misses you too." Lin Heng lowered his head and carefully rubbed his mother's skinny hand with his cheek. Silent tears kept running across his face, and then fell on the lifeless bed sheet.

"I miss you too……"

"It's just a matter of a few days. Prepare well for the funeral. The patient's willpower is already very strong for such a long delay." The doctor in the white coat looked at the skinny boy and sighed: "Sorry."

Lin Heng pursed his lips and nodded, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"It's also a relief for the patient," the doctor added.

Lin Heng responded in a hoarse voice: "Yes... relief."

If it weren't for him, living so painfully, the mother might be more inclined to die.It's because he's too selfish, he always wants to stay longer, longer, but now he can't stay anymore...

-

"Lin Heng, your mother can't do it anymore, and the loan for the house under your name has already been spent."

The woman urged the man hard, and the middle-aged man murmured: "Well... my two children also have to go to college, my money is much less than your parents, and you have just grown up. If the house is lost, the money to pay off the loan..."

Lin Heng smiled: "Of course I will return it to you first."

"Hmm...haha, that's good, I'm really..." The man was honest and honest, at this moment he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, his yellow face flushed.

Lin Heng nodded understandingly: "I know, thank you for your help."

"There's still interest!" The slender woman pushed the man and added in a low voice: "It's been a loan for so many years!"

Uncle's face was ugly, he hurriedly turned back and said, "Shut up!"

The woman's freshly permed hair is still a bit strange, with dense curly hair, just like the renter woman in the TV series. When she heard her man dare to be fierce to her, she pinched her waist, pointed at the man's nose and began to curse: "What's wrong with me, what's wrong with me?" The life at home is tight, I haven’t bought clothes for a long time, you have lost your family for your sister, are you going to suffer two children! It’s been a long time since they went out to play, and I never dare to give them what other people have Buy, you love your sister, but you don't love your two sons, do you?"

"That's my sister!" The man didn't dare to shout out when he was angry, but just defended in a low voice anxiously.

"Cooperating with your wife, the child is not your own family? There is only such a child left who is going to college, and he may not be of much value! His father has already run away alone, and he can pay back in a monkey year. Let your own children drink the wind?"

"Oh, don't talk about it!" The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it's not embarrassing enough for this person to come and go.

"I don't dare to say anything. I have swallowed my anger for so many years, and I have exhausted my benevolence!" The woman gave Lin Heng a hard look.

"The child is sad, so don't..." The man pressed down the woman's hand that was about to point to Lin Heng, and said to Lin Heng regretfully, "Your aunt has such a temper...you..."

Lin Heng's body was leaning against the wall of the hospital, his expression didn't fluctuate, he just said softly: "I won't lose a penny."

"I won't lose you a penny of the loan or the interest. I will pay it back this week." Lin Heng's voice was very soft, but it magically passed through all the noisy sounds. The sound of the hospital's kicking footsteps fell on two personal ears.

"No, Lin Heng, my uncle didn't help much, it's all from my family..." The man hurriedly waved his hands.

The woman quit, and pushed the man away, the flesh on her face was extremely fierce: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Lin Heng, my aunt is not unreasonable. These years, the time your uncle came to take care of the nursing expenses and the things you gave are all relatives' friendship. I don't care, but the loan and interest must be calculated clearly, as the saying goes Said 'Brothers will settle accounts'..." The woman said slowly to the boy with a preaching, reasonable and approachable attitude.

Lin Heng's hands were behind his back, tightly clenched into fists. In the past, when his uncle and aunt's family was in trouble, his mother helped his younger brother without complaint and raised his uncle's two children as her own. I'm fine.But now, his aunt's face turned his stomach upside down, and he almost sneered, but he held back, it wasn't worth it, and he didn't bother to say it.It's a waste of time to reason with fools and ungrateful people, so there's no need to make yourself look so ugly.

Lin Heng interrupted the woman's eloquence, and he took a few steps back, as if he had cut off something.

Lin Heng smiled, and said gently and politely: "Don't worry, I don't learn much from my mother, but keeping your word is one thing."

The aunt's expression froze, and she said in embarrassment: "That's good." She didn't seem to be aggrieved because she didn't look good, and she was thinking about what to say so as to make an ending.

Lin Heng didn't give her a chance.

"The money will be paid back in two days, and the account will be settled. In the future, during the holidays, uncle—" Lin Heng looked at the man, and said calmly, "I won't go to your house. "

The man's face was surprised: "Lin Heng, you——!"

Lin Heng turned and left without waiting for him to finish speaking, his thin back straightened, he was going to have nothing, but he had to hold up his face alone.

Lin Heng didn't believe in words like "one breath of life" before, but now he feels that it is this breath that rebuilds all his collapses into steel.

The sadder he is, the more he wants to smile beautifully.

He wants to live a more beautiful, upward and perfect life than those who have more things.

Either don't fight, if you want to fight, fight for his head and blood.
