Goldberg Variations

Eight years, the first time I received news from the other party, is this the case?

After the doctor left, Gu Kai was still out of breath.

When his grandparents died, he was too young to understand the meaning of death.

This is the first time he has faced this situation in his adult life.

It took Gu Kai a few minutes to clear up his chaotic thoughts and make a phone call to Yu Shuangshuang.

Yu Shuangshuang, who thought she was crying non-stop before, would cry when she heard the news, but she didn't expect the other party to be surprisingly calm.

"Yu Shuangshuang?" Gu Kai frowned, "Are you alright? Don't get overwhelmed."

Yu Shuangshuang was silent for a while, and then her slightly bitter voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm fine."

Gu Kai was a little worried: "Are you all right?"

"I want to see him," Yu Shuangshuang said, "Can you play a video so I can see Pei Wen?"

"I want to see what he looks like now."

"I may, may not be able to go back within 48 hours...if, if..." Yu Shuangshuang became more sad as she spoke, and sobbed again, "I want to see what he looks like now..."

Maybe it was influenced by the feeling of heartbeat eight years ago, or maybe it was influenced by Yu Shuangshuang's emotions, Gu Kai's mood became depressed.

"Visitors are not allowed in the ICU," he said, "but let me help you ask the doctor if there is any other way."

Yu Shuangshuang nodded: "Okay...thank you."

"fine."

After Gu Kai asked the doctor, the doctor said that visits are not allowed.

The conditions of the patients in the intensive care unit are very dangerous. If the family members go in to visit and cause infection, no one can bear the responsibility.

But they can visit through surveillance video.

After getting permission, Gu Kai turned on the video on the phone and asked Yu Shuangshuang to watch the person on the other side of the camera through the surveillance video.

Pei Wen lay quietly on the hospital bed, wearing an oxygen mask, with tubes inserted all over his body, all his limbs were bound, motionless, without a trace of life.

Gu Kai asked: "Why are you tied up?"

A nurse replied: "Because he kept pulling on the tube on his body and kept moving around."

Gu Kai frowned to show that he knew.

Yu Shuangshuang over there took one look and started crying.

She also knew that she was worried about disturbing the people here, so she took the initiative to pinch the microphone to prevent the sound from coming through.

Gu Kai didn't want to continue to irritate her, so he turned the camera away, and said softly: "Now that people have seen it, don't cry, just do your own thing first."

"There are so many doctors watching over here, trying their best to save him. He will be fine."

"If Pei Wen is awake, I definitely don't want you to miss work because of him."

After hearing this, Yu Shuangshuang wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "Well, I know."

Gu Kai: "You don't have to force yourself if you can't laugh."

Yu Shuangshuang's face suddenly collapsed, and her false eyelashes almost fell out from crying.

Gu Kai couldn't persuade her, so he asked her: "Why didn't any of his family members show up? I remember when he was in high school, his mother loved him a lot, and she came to school every now and then. Now that such a big thing happened, there shouldn't be any news None."

Yu Shuangshuang is currently in the desert, the signal is not good, and it is very difficult to open the video. Watching Gu Kai is almost stuck in a ppt, so he can only cut off the video and type to explain:

"This is a matter of his family. I don't know too well. I only know that he lives alone now and has no contact with his parents."

A colleague named Yu Shuangshuang, Yu Shuangshuang agreed, wiped away tears, and quickly sent a voice to Gu Kai:

"I'll get back as soon as possible after finishing my work here."

"Before that, please help me take care of him, thank you."

The wind in the desert was howling, and the noise in the voice was loud, and Yu Shuangshuang's voice seemed a little blurred in the wind.

After saying this, she disappeared.

"it is good."

Gu Kai put the phone in his pocket, raised his head, and looked at the person on the hospital bed quietly through the surveillance video.

If Pei Wen was a white and fragrant gardenia back then, then this gardenia has withered and decayed, and is about to fall into pieces.

His eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.The previously slender body has become even thinner now, and the exposed wrist is so thin that it can be easily broken, with a needle inserted in it.

There was a dull pain in my heart.

Gu Kai wanted to reach out to touch that person, but all he touched was the cold computer screen.

He withdrew his hand.

Facing Pei Wen like this, Gu Kai was a little at a loss.

Coming out of the monitoring room, Gu Kai still hasn't recovered.

The nurse advised him a few words.The nurse in their ICU is used to seeing family members crying every day, but now that this person is not crying, she is still not used to it.

The nurse looked at Pei Wen on the hospital bed and sighed in her heart.

She knew that Pei Wen committed suicide. Such a young and handsome boy committed suicide and entered the ICU. No family members could be contacted, and he didn't know what kind of life he was living.

Going back to the bench at the entrance of the ICU and sitting down, Gu Kai recalled the appearance of Pei Wen he saw just now.

After so many years, Pei Wen's appearance has not changed much, and the outline of the facial features can vaguely match the boy in his memory.

It's just that he has matured a lot and lost a lot of weight. The former vitality has become lifeless, making people dare not recognize him at first glance.

Gu Kai lowered his head and tapped his fingertips on his knees.

The waiting process was extremely difficult, Gu Kai wanted to find something to divert his attention.But he went out in a hurry, and he didn't bring anything except his mobile phone, keys and umbrella, so he could only pass the time by flipping through his mobile phone.

When I opened WeChat, I thought of Shi Yangming, so I sent a friend request to note my identity.

The application was approved quickly, and before Gu Kai had time to say anything, Shi Yangming asked, "How is he? Is he awake?"

Even though he is a stranger, this young man is quite enthusiastic, Gu Kai thought to himself.

"No." Gu Kai said.

"Still awake?" Shi Yangming asked, "Then what's the situation now?"

Gu Kai: "Pulmonary edema, the doctor said that the heartbeat and pulse are very weak, and the situation is very dangerous."

Shi Yangming choked for a while, and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, he is still so young, his physical fitness is good, and he will definitely get better. Instead, you should pay more attention to your body, don't wait for him to wake up, but you It's not worth it to fall down."

Gu Kai thanked him and asked about his injury.

Now that Pei Wen is in a coma, without any relatives, and Yu Shuangshuang is far away abroad, Gu Kai can only do what they should do on their behalf.

"It's just a small injury, and it took more than a dozen stitches," Shi Yangming said, "It's not a problem."

Gu Kai said: "Will it leave a scar?"

Shi Yangming: "Scars are men's medals! What's more, I left them after saving people. If I mention them to others in the future, I don't know how proud I will be!"

Infected by Shi Yangming's optimism and positivity, Gu Kai couldn't help but bend his lips, and just smiled a little, but he couldn't laugh anymore when he thought of Pei Wen he saw just now.

In the video, Pei Wen has slender eyebrows, thick and curled eyelashes, and his eyes are truly beautiful.

What's even more beautiful is that when he opened his eyes, his light brown pupils contained a gentle smile, like shining gems.

When Gu Kai was in middle school, if Pei Wen took such a look at Gu Kai, his heart would beat for a class and he would be happy all day long.

"Get well soon." Gu Kai leaned his head against the wall, turned his head to look at the gate of the ICU, and sighed to himself, "It's not worthwhile to become a vegetative at such a young age."

"If there is any problem, it can be solved slowly. Why do you have to take such an extreme approach?"

"You weren't like this before."

Since the ICU couldn't accompany him to the bed, Gu Kai was worried that something would happen to Pei Wen when he left, so he didn't go home that night.

Fortunately, opposite the ICU of the second doctor, there is a relatively large empty room filled with beds.

They are all single beds with bunk beds, like the kind in student dormitories.

This is specially for family members who want to accompany the bed in the ICU.

Gu Kai slept here that night.

Except for the three years in high school, in order for him to cultivate collective consciousness and learn how to get along with others, his parents threw him into the student dormitory for three years, Gu Kai had never lived in this kind of bed.

He slept on the top bunk and felt like he was going to fall off in the middle of the night.

And she also had nightmares, dreaming that she turned over and fell off, and then saw Pei Wen's bluish face.

Gu Kai woke up immediately.

He opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn.Gu Kai rubbed his brain that hadn't had much rest, got up to wash up briefly, bought some breakfast, and continued to wait at the entrance of the ICU.

Pei Wen woke up this morning and was in a coma for about 23 hours.

Pei Wen seemed to have had a long, long dream.In the dream, there was a gray sky, and he was running in the endless wasteland, panting, and fear followed him like a shadow.

At the end of the wilderness, he saw his mother.

He looked at the woman coldly, without saying a word, and then jumped into the icy and swift river like revenge.

He choked into a mouthful of river water mixed with mud and sand, and the feeling of suffocation was very painful, but he didn't feel fear.

Nothing is more painful than being alive.

He knew it was all over.

Pei Wen didn't expect to open his eyes again.

The paleness of the ceiling is the familiar color of the hospital.

Pei Wen frowned, felt some pain in his chest, and then coughed.

Immediately a nurse found that he was awake, greeted the doctor in surprise, and performed various examinations for him.

Pei Wen lay down for a whole day, his body was uncomfortable, and he was still tied, frowning, he asked the nurse to untie him.

The nurse warned him not to remove the tube, and after he agreed, his limbs were released.

Just after waking up, Pei Wen's thoughts were chaotic and completely fragmented. He couldn't even remember who he was or why he was lying in the hospital.

But he knew he hated the environment.

But he can't do anything.

At this time, the nurse told him that someone had a video with him.

video?Pei Wen thought, who will video with him, by the way, Yu Shuangshuang?The name popped into my head...

However, when the video was connected, it was not Yu Shuangshuang, but a strange young man.

25 and six years old, with short black hair that is fluffy and soft, and has not been taken care of much. He is wearing a silky bamboo green long-sleeved shirt and brown and black wide-leg pants.

Pei Wen endured the pain in his throat, and asked hoarsely, "Who are you?"
