The marketing account also wants to fall in love

After turning off the computer, Lu Dongshan felt that he might have said something wrong.

How do you know Xiaobai is not married yet?Or, what if something happens to someone's love and marriage, if you say that, isn't it poking someone's heart?

Over the past few days, Lu Dongshan has learned about the history of the account "Domestic Cabbage Meow".This is a senior account registered in the early days of Weibo. When Xiaobai faded out of the Internet five years ago, he was already a well-known Internet celebrity.

Veteran internet celebrity, disappeared for five years, and now comes back, no matter how you think about it, there must be some stories in it, it will not be that simple,

But with the current relationship between himself and Xiaobai, it's not easy for Lu Dongshan to ask directly.He thought that when the two of them got to know each other better, he might be able to understand the reason.

……

……

Lu Dongshan went out.

For several days, Bai Chuan asked Lu Dongshan to feed the cat downstairs, but he couldn't find anyone.

The door of the neighbor's house was closed, and Bai Chuan's courteous knock on the door was extremely loud in the empty corridor. He waited and waited, but in the end he could only turn around resentfully.

If I knew it earlier, I should have left a contact information.Bai Chuan thought.

Without Lu Dongshan, Bai Chuan's cat feeding activities seemed a little less fun.

The cats unceremoniously share the cat food he brought, but they are not close to him at all.Bai Chuan was unable to move, so he had to sit quietly on the side, watching these little guys feasting, fighting with each other, and then mercilessly scattered away.

In fact, it was the same before, but after seeing the cats around Lu Dongshan affectionately biting his trousers last time, compared to his current appearance as if he had been thrown into limbo, Bai Chuan's mentality was inevitably a little out of balance.

Ugh.

He put away the bag of cat food and looked under the old locust tree.

Xiao Huang didn't come... Is she okay?

A gust of wind blew past, and the leaves of the pagoda tree rustled. Bai Chuan looked up at the sky, and saw that the clouds were thickening and densely covering the sunlight.

It was getting dark and it was going to rain.

……

The rain has been pattering for two days, and the air has become damp and cold.Bai Chuan covered his legs with two layers of blankets, but he still felt uncomfortable.He rubbed the atrophied and weak muscles on his legs vigorously, trying to gain more warmth in such a lonely and cold rainy day.

Even if it comes from his own warmth.

The electric wheelchair drove through the waterlogged path to the rehabilitation center.

On a rainy day, there were not many people here, and a doctor he knew was doing routine physical therapy for Bai Chuan.The medical equipment hummed faintly, and Bai Chuan's eyes were dull, looking at the pale ceiling in the treatment room, feeling uneasy.

After a cold rain, all those faint feelings that appeared a few days ago disappeared!Now his legs were the same as before, with no feeling at all.

Could it be that, as the doctor had told him, his hope of recovery was groundless and nothing more than a psychological delusion?

Are all his excitement and joy just empty joys?

"How does it feel?" the rehab therapist asked him.

Bai Chuan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "I don't feel it. It's the same as before."

"The weather has changed recently, so keep warm."

"...Well, thank you."

After leaving the rehabilitation center, Bai Chuan hesitated at the intersection, not wanting to go home.He held his mobile phone to look at the surrounding map, trying to find a suitable place to relieve his mood.

In the upper right corner of the phone screen, Bai Chuan specially left a message reminding him that his mother in a foreign country asked him what birthday gift he wanted, and he hadn't figured out how to reply.

birthday is coming.In fact, Bai Chuan didn't want any gifts, he just wanted a pair of healthy legs.

After looking at the map for a long time, Bai Chuan still couldn't find a place he could go to.

The power of the wheelchair is limited, and if he goes far, he cannot come back smoothly.

After the electric wheelchair ran out of power, it was more strenuous to move than an ordinary wheelchair. Bai Chuan once miscalculated, and the wheelchair ran out of power halfway. He had to use the strength of his arms to move himself back home. As a result, he was exhausted and lost his posture.That day he also met Lu Dongshan on the elevator. Facing the concerned eyes of his neighbors, he felt inferior and embarrassed.

In order to avoid similar embarrassment from happening again, in the end, Bai Chuan just went to the convenience store downstairs in the community, and bought a dozen cans of beer under the curious eyes of the clerk.

He has always been self-disciplined and has never used alcohol to relieve his worries, but today, perhaps alcohol can make him temporarily forget some worries and sleep well without any worries.

Bai Chuan returned to the community, took the elevator upstairs, and before he opened the door, the neighbor's door opened.Lu Dongshan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came out, holding a... cake?

"Bai Chuan, you're finally back." Lu Dongshan wanted to hand the cake to Bai Chuan, but was surprised to find that Bai Chuan was holding a dozen beers in his arms, "Uh... this was brought by the cake shop. There is no one in your house. I just came back, so I collected it for you. It seems to be a birthday cake, is your birthday today?" No wonder, I also bought wine.

"Not today, we have to wait a few more days." Bai Chuan said, "Thank you, can you bring the cake home for me?"

"Oh well."

Lu Dongshan had no intention of inquiring about the neighbor's private affairs, but felt strange: "It's not your birthday today, why did you send you a cake today, someone else ordered it? Did you remember the wrong date?"

Bai Chuan didn't answer, he opened the carton containing the birthday cake, and a huge creamy fruit cake appeared in front of him.

The four big characters "Happy Birthday!" are painted in the middle of the cake, which are very conspicuous, and beside these words, a tree is drawn.

Bai Chuan took out his mobile phone to look at the calendar, and said calmly, "My dad probably ordered it. Today is my birthday in the lunar calendar. I don't live in the lunar calendar, and I live in the solar calendar. He may not know."

He looked up at Lu Dongshan and smiled wryly: "I remember telling you that my parents are abroad and busy."

Lu Dongshan didn't know how to comfort Bai Chuan for a moment, Bai Chuan was obviously depressed now, he went home with a dozen beers, maybe he was going to get drunk.

"Such a big cake, do you want me to help you eat it?" Lu Dongshan leaned over to help Bai Chuan carry the beer, "I can also drink with you and chat with you."

Bai Chuan didn't answer.

"Then I'll take it as if you agreed. I have appetizers. Wait a minute. I'll bring some over."

In just a short while, Lu Dongshan brought many things, including peanuts, kimchi, dried fish, small plates for easy packaging, disposable tablecloths and wet wipes.

He helped Bai Chuan find candles in the cake packaging box, muttering: "Even if you don't have a lunar birthday, light the candles and make a wish. Oops!"

Lu Dongshan suddenly let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Bai Chuan asked him.

"The cake shop seems to have forgotten something."

"what?"

"It's just..." Lu Dongshan raised his hand and gestured on his head, his eyes curved, "The crown of the birthday star."

Even though Bai Chuan is not in the mood to eat cakes now, he can't help being amused by Lu Dongshan's actions.

He complained: "It's not a child, who cares about that kind of thing."

Seeing him smile, Lu Dongshan also showed a smile: "It doesn't matter if you forget the cake shop, I have it, I'll get it."

After a while, Lu Dongshan turned back again, Bai Chuan didn't expect that he could even prepare a spare for this kind of thing at home, he was amazed.

Lu Dongshan folded the "crown", put it on Bai Chuan's head, and said, "You may not know, but my friends say I have hoarding cancer. Regardless of how ugly hoarding cancer is, there is actually a very cute word to describe this kind of me." People, it’s called hamster disease.”

Bai Chuan struck a match and lit a candle: "I have never seen a hamster as big as yours."

Lu Dongshan answered immediately: "This is called contrast cute."

He asked Bai Chuan: "After tossing about for a long time, I still don't know how old your birthday is."

"29 years old."

"...Oh," Lu Dongshan was a little surprised, "I can't tell, your face is tender."

Bai Chuan smiled: "It's only 29, and it's not old. You should be young."

"It's true. You are a little older than me. I'm 25 this year." Lu Dongshan helped him light the candles. "I'll sing the birthday song. Make a wish."

He took the initiative to sing a familiar melody with a clear voice.

Bai Chuan watched the dancing candlelight in front of him, feeling a little emotional in his heart——

He hadn't celebrated his birthday so seriously in many years, and even the childish ceremony made him feel fresh, just to forget the many unhappiness of today.

He clasped his hands together, lowered his eyes and silently made a wish.

Lu Dongshan didn't ask him what his wish was, Bai Chuan thought, he must know.

The two young men couldn't get used to sweet and greasy cream cakes, so they dropped their knives and forks after a few mouthfuls, and each picked up a can of beer.

Lu Dongshan asked Bai Chuan: "What does your father do, and why did the cake shop draw a tree on the cake?"

Bai Chuan replied: "He is a botanist and works in the Academy of Sciences. Before that, he was in Antarctica for more than half a year. Recently, I heard that he returned to China. It seems that he went to the Gobi Desert."

Lu Dongshan, whose parents are both ordinary working-class people, did not expect to hear such an answer. Such an "advanced" occupation surprised him.

"Then what about your mother, I heard you said that she is also abroad?"

"My mother is in Africa, the person in charge of a Chinese-funded institution stationed in Africa."

Well... Sure enough, a family that can educate such an elegant little prince must be different.But Lu Dongshan sympathized with the little prince. No matter what, it was a pity that his parents could not be by his side.

"No wonder you are good at cooking, and you have often lived by yourself since you were a child?"

"Well, I'm used to it." Bai Chuan said, "You really let me live with them every day, I might not feel comfortable."

Lu Dongshan smiled: "Look at what you said, how could it be?"

The two clinked glasses and drank a few sips.

Bai Chuan looked out of the window hesitantly. In the sky after the rain, a group of pigeons were fluttering their wings and making melodious whistles.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Lu Dongshan tentatively asked: "Is it true, legs..."

"En." Bai Chuan nodded without saying anything.

Lu Dongshan thought for a while: "Have you gone to other hospitals to see it? Go to Beijing and Shanghai and find a few more experts."

"I've been there." Bai Chuan said, "I also contacted hospitals in the United States, but it's inconvenient for me to go there by myself. My mother will go there with me when she is free."

"Well," Lu Dongshan encouraged him, "the medical level in the United States is high. If you go there, there must be a cure."

Bai Chuan forced a smile and shook his head: "I don't know."

He picked up a can of beer with both hands, raised his head suddenly, and gulped it all down.

"Hey, slow down, you're going to get drunk." Lu Dongshan hurriedly stopped him, but it was still a step too late.

Bai Chuan put the empty jar on the coffee table, twisted a peanut and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it for a long time before swallowing it.

"I was not like this before." He said to Lu Dongshan.

He flicked the beer can in front of him with his fingers: "I never used alcohol to drown my sorrows. Before, I had a solution to everything I encountered. I was very capable and powerful. I was the youngest director of the company and talked about many big deals. , I have worked on several big projects. Do you know how conceited I was at that time? I used to say, I, Bai Chuan, there is no job I can’t do well, and there is no person I can’t catch up with. I dare to say this, God is not afraid The earth is not afraid."

"Not anymore..." he said, cracking open another can of beer while laughing.

Lu Dongshan reached out to stop him, and Bai Chuan said, "Let me drink something, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep today."

He took a big sip: "My former colleagues still remember me. Maybe they were afraid that I would be bored. They contacted me a few days ago and said that the project was busy and wanted me to help. I asked what was the matter, and my colleagues said they wanted me to Help polish the report. I refused. Tell me, I can’t even go to the scene, so what kind of report should I write, isn’t that nonsense!”

"My range of motion is only so wide now." He stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the table. "The electric wheelchair can only go 20 kilometers at a time when it is fully charged. Calculated as a round trip, the one-way trip is only 10 kilometers at most, but this is The most ideal straight-line distance is where there is a straight line in real life, so I fold it in half, 5 kilometers, which is a safe distance. My current range of activities is only a circle with a radius of 5 kilometers. If others ask me to go to the park to relax, I will I dare not go, I am afraid I will not come back."

Lu Dongshan said carefully: "It seems that there are special cars for the disabled. If you want to go to a farther place, maybe you can drive..."

Bai Chuan's eyes were a little bloodshot.

"I was scared," he said, "I've been scared since the accident. I didn't dare. I can't even take the subway now. You don't know the fear, the helplessness, when the accident happened. The pain is hallucinatory, At that point, my whole worldview was turned upside down."

Bai Chuan was quiet for a while, when Lu Dongshan was about to say something, Bai Chuan suddenly raised his head and looked deeply into Lu Dongshan's eyes.

"I want to tell you one thing. In the past, when I was still at work, the company organized recruitment. Someone came to apply for a researcher, and the human resources department thought it was good, so he recommended it to me. I went to chat with him and mentioned some He answered all questions very well. I was very satisfied with his ability, so I wanted to recruit him. As a result, when he got my affirmation and was ready to leave happily, I found that he was a little lame. There was only one A little bit, not serious, even if you don't look carefully, I can't tell it, but I immediately contacted the human resources department, found a random reason, and rejected this applicant." Bai Chuan looked at Lu Dongshan, "It was a long time ago, these things I never told anyone. A while ago, I had a dream about this, and I dreamed that the applicant I gave up was actually myself..."

Bai Chuan opened another can of beer.

Lu Dongshan looked at Bai Chuan, not knowing how to comfort him.

He's drunk, but maybe, as he said, let him drink more and get a good night's sleep.

Bai Chuan was under too much psychological pressure.There was only one thing left in his mind, as if he had got into a dead end, and the road became narrower and narrower.

Once this matter does not go well, for him, it will be a catastrophe.

At the end of this drink and chat, Bai Chuan grabbed Lu Dongshan's sleeve and asked him forcefully, "Tell me, can I still stand up, can I still stand up like an ordinary person?"

Lu Dongshan coaxed him: "Yes, you can definitely. When you recover from illness, you will be like an ordinary person."

Then Bai Chuan smiled foolishly in a trance, smiled and shed tears.

"Well, it will definitely get better... If not, I really don't know what to do for the rest of my life. I must get better, I must, I must!"

Later, he was about to fall asleep in a drowsy state, and kept calling Lu Dongshan's name in his mouth.

"Lu Dongshan... Dongshan..."

As night fell, Lu Dongshan pushed Bai Chuan to the bedroom, then picked him up and put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

He stood by the bed and quietly looked at Bai Chuan's sleeping face, then picked up Bai Chuan's cell phone and saved his number.

good night.

Before leaving, Lu Dongshan said to Bai Chuan.

I hope you can get a good night's sleep and no more nightmares.
