Shuying-Chris: "There are cherry blossoms opposite the hotel ^o^ [picture] I am here: [location]"

It was rare for Xu Chenchuan to update Weibo, and he posted a photo taken from the window, which even included his own positioning.

So Bai Qi deleted the message that was originally intended to be sent to him, and directly clicked on the location to look at the address of the hotel.

【Paper Crane】: "Are you at the hotel tonight?"

Xu Chenchuan always replied quickly. 【Chris】: "Yes, what's the matter?... By the way, it's already midnight, why don't you go to bed, go to bed earlier."

Bai Qi glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window. [Paper Crane]: "It's okay, don't forget that RR has a play today and has work to do tonight"

【Chris】: "Well, as I remember, I have already asked my friends for leave, and I won't go drinking with them tonight~" The tone is very happy.

【Paper Crane】: "That's good."

【Chris】: "Go to bed soon^_^"

Bai Qi stopped replying, put away his phone, and turned his wheelchair out of the bedroom.

Katie was changing her shoes while Oscar spun impatiently at her feet.Seeing Bai Qi coming out, she raised her head and smiled and said, "Are you ready? Let's go."

She put the dog leash on Oscar, handed the other end to Bai Qi's hand, and then pushed Bai Qi out of the house.

It was a leisurely weekend morning, and the spring air was like a clear watercolor, with patches of pink and white dotted on large azure tones.The cherry blossoms all over the city are in full bloom, but some of the early ones have already fallen down one after another, laying a beautiful carpet on the street, and being run over by wheelchairs inexplicably.

Oscar finally selected a tree and happily watered it with his hind legs lifted.

Bai Qi waited on the spot holding the dog leash.He put on a white shirt, which almost blended with the light tones around his body, and even the white cherry blossoms that occasionally fell on his shoulders seemed to be a footnote to that oriental face.This combination of a man, a woman, and a dog in a wheelchair is so wonderful that passers-by can't help but take a few more glances to figure out the twists and turns.

They looked neither like mother and child, nor like friends, and certainly not like lovers.In fact, even the parties may not be able to explain this relationship clearly.

If Katie invited Bai Qi today, it would be impossible for them to meet.Fate is something that cannot be calculated according to common sense, and Bai Qi can't recall to this day, what kind of mentality he had agreed to meet people with such absurd identities as "the current incumbent of his father who has left".

——In fact, it’s not that I can’t recall it at all, it’s just that it’s somewhat difficult to say.People are always ashamed to admit their longing to be loved, ashamed to reveal their loneliness.

In the few years after his mother passed away, only Qiusheng and his younger brother were in his world, and he had no time to think about these metaphysical things.By the time he realized it, that secret desire had already fermented in the hollow of his chest into a huge, extreme and terrifying obsession.

Bai Qi also knew that he was not normal.He saw a therapist twice, once in college and once immediately after the car accident.The first time the doctor who had not been on the job for a long time was directly annoyed by him and cried, and the second time the middle-aged man was not much better, he stretched his face and taught Bai Sheng on the side: "If the patient doesn't cooperate, we will do anything." It’s useless, how did you family members do it?”

The wronged Bai Sheng could only smile, and finally turned to look at him and sighed silently.

"Not cooperating" was the most frequent word Bai Qi heard during that time, and No.2 was "why".

Why can't he be hypnotized in any way?Why didn't he answer the question well, why couldn't he dig out the answer the doctor wanted from the fortress of consciousness?Why can't he move, why are those legs in a permanent dead silence, no matter how much massage and rehabilitation they can't move?Why can't he do what an ordinary person with mediocre ability can do?

"I do not know."

Bai Sheng looked at the expressionless Bai Qi, as if he was looking at a rebellious child: "How could you not know, this is you!"

Bai Qi also looked at him and stopped talking.

The truth is, those questions would never have existed if he had known the answers himself.

The endless loop of dialogue was finally brought to a successful conclusion by the fruit knife that was inserted straight into the thigh.Neither Bai Sheng nor Bai Qi himself is obsessed with the answer anymore, just like a person stuck in a swamp no longer moves, because the harder he struggles, the faster he dies.

The strange thing is, those things that even Bai Qi can't say, but Katie seems to be able to perceive them with a certain feminine sensitivity.Although only a little bit, her presence gave him long-term comfort.

"There's a nice Japanese restaurant on this street, how about we go drink sake tonight?" Katie asked standing beside him.

"Not tonight, I have some personal matters."

Katie's eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at him suddenly: "Are you going to that hospital? Wait until tomorrow, I'll go with you—"

"No."

"……Oh."

Katie looked at him hesitantly, as if thinking about how to speak.Bai Qi's heart sank.

"Qi, when are you going to go for rehabilitation?" She finally asked.
