The Third Rose

Mi Sheng's mother accidentally fell from the building in the spa.

During the group meal in the evening, she said she needed to go to the bathroom, and somehow fell out of the bedroom window.Fortunately, the nursing home is a short building, only two stories high. She fell on the grass and was discovered by the management staff downstairs.They saw her getting up by herself and patting the ashes off her body, it seemed that she was fine.

Chen Xingze took a taxi to find Mi Sheng. At that time, Mi Sheng hadn't stopped the car and stood alone at the intersection.Chen Xingze took Mi Sheng to the car.Mi Sheng's face was pale and his lips were bloodless, as if he was frightened.

Chen Xingze told the driver the address of the hot spring sanatorium, and the driver said, "It's a bit far."

Chen Xingze: "I know, we have something urgent, can you help me?"

The driver didn't really want to go, but he was too embarrassed to drive people away, so he dawdled and started the car.Chen Xingze held Mi Sheng's hand and whispered, "Did they contact you? What's the matter?"

Mi Sheng lowered his head, his eyes were very red, but he didn't shed tears, Chen Xingze guessed that he had probably finished crying.

"You come out like this... Is it okay for the school?"

Chen Xingze's eyes felt hot when he heard his hoarse voice.

"It's okay, we don't have class tomorrow."

In fact, he is about to take the final exam, and now it is the review stage.

Chen Xingze took Mi Sheng's hand.The traffic outside the window was turbulent, like a long glowing snake.He recalled his previous experience of delaying the exam because of Lu Hao, and felt that history always has amazing similarities.But the sages have said that one cannot step into the same river twice. No matter how similar two things are, there will always be differences.

Mi Sheng is not Lu Hao, and he is not the former self either.

Mi Sheng was still trembling, and Chen Xingze exerted a slight force on his palm, hoping to convey strength to him.

It was dark when they arrived at the nursing home.Mi Sheng called Aunt Wang in the car, and Aunt Wang picked them up at the door.As soon as she saw Mi Sheng, Aunt Wang slapped herself.

"I almost committed a serious crime!" Aunt Wang cried, "I should have followed her!"

"How is my mother?"

"Fortunately, there is no danger, it's nothing serious, otherwise I would really be ashamed to see you!"

Chen Xingze followed Mi Sheng and Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang said: "She fell from the bedroom on the second floor. There was a lawn on the ground. She happened not to fall on an inch. The staff said that she stood up by herself and went upstairs. I also ate something, and then the nurse gave her a sedative and then rested. Alas, I was fine today, but suddenly fell ill for some reason..."

They came to the second floor of the nursing home. The lights in the room were dark, and Mi Sheng's mother was sleeping.There was a nurse next to her, a young girl.Mi Sheng walked over quietly, and the moment he saw his mother's face, he covered his mouth to prevent crying.

The little girl came to Mi Sheng's side and whispered, "I've already fallen asleep, so it should be nothing serious. Fortunately, this building is short."

Mi Sheng's mood fluctuated too much, and small blood vessels protruded from his temples and forehead. He couldn't control his anger and spilled it on the nurses. "How do you take care of it?"

The little girl knew she was wrong, and said with a guilty conscience: "The old lady has been in very good condition all day long, and she ate a lot, and even asked someone to take a photo. Who would have thought that at night, she would suddenly..."

Mi Sheng pointed at her, "Call me your person in charge, this matter is endless, don't try to let it go!"

Little girl: "Our dean heard about this, and rushed here immediately. It should be here soon...Why don't you come with me first, and we will wait outside, so as not to disturb the old lady to rest."

Mi Sheng was burning with anger, worrying that there would not be enough shouts in the room.

"Okay, come out for me."

Aunt Wang was afraid that their conflict would intensify, so she followed her out.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xingze was the only one left in the room.He checked the time, he might not be able to go back to school tonight.He sent a message to Shi Kai, and when he put away his phone, he inadvertently met Mi Sheng's mother's eyes.

Chen Xingze was shocked.

The curtains were not drawn in the room, and Mi Sheng's mother opened her eyes at some point, facing the moonlight with hazy eyes.

"...Auntie, are you awake?"

He didn't know what the situation was, and subconsciously wanted to find a nurse, but Mi Sheng's mother reached out to him and greeted him gently.

"Aunt?"

Compared with the sounds of violent arguments in the corridor, the house seemed like a peaceful garden.

Chen Xingze walked to the bed and tried to hold Mi Sheng's mother's hand.Mi Sheng's mother is very beautiful, with the same slender eyes as Mi Sheng.She smiled at Chen Xingze, her eyes seemed to be looking at her own child.

Chen Xingze wondered if she was still sick.

"Are you his boyfriend?"

Chen Xingze was startled.

"Mi Sheng is really amazing, it's amazing to find a child as handsome as you..." Mi Sheng's mother looked very tired, and she tried to speak with difficulty.

Chen Xingze squatted in front of her and asked, "Auntie, do you need me to call Mi Sheng?"

She shook her head, took Chen Xingze's hand, and said softly: "Mi Sheng is very good. He was very smart when he was a child, and he learned everything quickly. His family loves him very much. You can rest assured that you are with Mi Sheng, he is very loving."

Chen Xingze looked at the mother who tried to sell his child, and smiled softly: "Well, he is very good at taking care of others."

"Don't look at him in his normal life, but he's actually very timid and loves to cry... But he didn't cry so much before, because he was bullied when he grew up. Son, you have to be nice to him..."

"En." Chen Xingze felt that he was getting weaker and weaker in holding his palm, and worried, "Auntie, I'd better call the nurse."

"Son, are you afraid of me?"

"what?"

"...You don't have to worry about me, I won't drag you down."

"What are you talking about, you are his mother, how can you drag us down?"

"Don't worry..." Mi Sheng's mother's consciousness became more and more blurred, and she muttered nonsense, "...the weather is really nice today, have you eaten...good boy, really good boy..." Then she closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep again.

"Aunt?"

The palm holding Chen Xingze loosened, but Chen Xingze's brows were still frowning.He stood by the bed for a while, and Mi Sheng's mother's breathing gradually became steady.He got up and walked out, the moonlight elongated his shadow.His mind was confused, his pace became slower and slower, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back.

He lightly touched Mi Sheng's mother's shoulder.

"Auntie, auntie?"

Mi Sheng's mother was breathing smoothly, but she never opened her eyes.

Chen Xingze felt something was wrong.

Under the moonlight, the corners of Mi Sheng's mother's eyes were clearly moist.

Chen Xingze had never seen a mental patient before, so he didn't know what they would do when they got sick.Will they pretend to be asleep?Will you speak softly?Would you hold back your tears and talk about your child with others?

Chen Xingze doesn't know what a mental patient is like, but he knows what a mother who loves children is like. He saw the shadows of Wu Xingzhi and Zhao Shan in Mi Sheng's mother.

Chen Xingze's heart clenched suddenly, his intuition flashed by, he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed 120.

After he made the phone call, he ran to the corridor, while Mi Sheng was still angry at the little girl.The little girl was also very emotional, and said loudly: "We have limited personnel, and we can't keep an eye on it 24 hours a day, so we call someone to take care of us!"

Aunt Wang also became angry, "I am responsible! I will not shirk it! Are you completely irresponsible?!"

The little girl was driven into a hurry, her voice became more and more high-pitched.

"When did I say that we have no responsibility at all! Besides, didn't you sign it before coming here? It clearly says that only 'mild patients' are allowed to participate in the activity, do you call it 'mild'?!"

Chen Xingze came to Mi Sheng's side and told him, "I've called an ambulance."

It's a pity that his voice was drowned out by the quarrel.

Mi Sheng's neck turned red with anger, "What did you say about my mother?"

Chen Xingze: "Mi Sheng, calm down, just now..."

The little girl: "When did I call your mother? You hide your illness and send her here, and make trouble if something goes wrong. It's unreasonable!"

Chen Xingze: "Mi Sheng..."

Mi Sheng: "Whoever hides the illness, you can say it again!"

The shouts irritated his eardrums, and Chen Xingze began to miss the room with only moonlight and smiles just now.

"I told you to stop arguing!" He suddenly yelled, his voice was so loud that the whole floor echoed. "I've already called an ambulance! Prepare to go to the hospital later!"

Everyone looked at him.

Mi Sheng: "Ambulance?"

Chen Xingze: "I think there's something wrong with Auntie, I'd better go to the hospital for a checkup."

The little girl beside him said impatiently: "It is said that she got up by herself."

Chen Xingze ignored her, and said to Mi Sheng, "I don't think Auntie is sick."

Mi Sheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Chen Xingze pursed his lips, "Anyway, let's take her for a checkup first, just in case."

His seriousness made Mi Sheng nervous, and he grabbed Chen Xingze's arm. "What's the matter, what's wrong, and what did you mean by what you said just now? Why do you say it doesn't look like a disease?"

Chen Xingze did not answer.

When the ambulance arrived, Mi Sheng's mother had fallen into a deep coma.They got into the ambulance together, and the little girl finally started to panic. "How come, how come you fainted at this time?"

When she arrived at the hospital, the little girl was severely reprimanded by the doctor.

"Do you have a nurse qualification certificate? Don't you know that people who jump off the building must be sent to the hospital no matter what they look like?"

Little girl: "I don't see any blood..."

Doctor: "You only look at the trauma? You don't think about internal organs bleeding? Fortunately, it was delivered, and it would be impossible to save it a few hours later!"

The little girl was frightened, "But she got up on her own. When we asked her about her situation, she said she was fine and went to bed after eating."

Doctor: "Eat?"

Little girl: "That's right, we were going to send her to the hospital, but she didn't go by herself. We let her sleep after seeing that she was walking and eating normally."

The doctor frowned, "That's just wishing for death."

In fact, as Chen Xingze thought, Mi Sheng's mother did not have an illness. As the nurse said, she was in good condition all day long. She decided to commit suicide while she was conscious.

The doctor sighed, "The liver and spleen are ruptured, and the old lady can still eat. The old lady can really bear it." He turned to look at Mi Sheng, "Did the patient have no symptoms at all?"

Mi Sheng lost his mind since he got into the ambulance, and he had to rely on Chen Xingze's support to stand still. He looked at the doctor blankly.

"……what?"

"Didn't she tell you anything before?"

Explain?

Mi Sheng suddenly remembered the morning when the sky was still pure blue, and he and his mother were in a good mood. After a long absence, his mother cooked eight-treasure rice for him, and even put on a skirt, so he was dressed up beautifully.Before she left, she said to him softly: "Good boy, rest when you are tired, and mother will help you share the pressure."

Mi Sheng was sweating profusely, and his ears were screaming. As he thought about it, the picture became muddy and his voice became indistinct. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, his body went limp, and he passed out.
