Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 1. The "boy" in the rain

The rain was still pouring down, and it didn't mean to stop.A lot of water had already accumulated on the ground, and when I stepped on it, a few splashes were splashed, and when I lifted it up, there was a lot of mud on the trousers.

Nangong Yu was wearing black clothes, holding a black umbrella, and walking on the street with a blank face.He didn't want to go somewhere, nor did he want to go home, but whenever the weather was like this, he was used to going out for a walk.What's more, today is the anniversary of his parents' death.

The cold raindrops fell on the umbrella, the trouser legs, and his heart. He couldn't help feeling that this summer seemed a little too cold.

The sky gradually darkened, and everything around was stained with a layer of gray color, even the flashing neon lights on those buildings and shops seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke that could not be dispelled.In such bad weather, there are almost no pedestrians on the street except for the occasional cars passing by in a hurry. This city that was not very lively at the moment looks even more deserted.

Nangong Yu has been walking like this for a day, but he still doesn't want to go home, because even if he goes home, there is nothing he wants to do, and there is no one waiting for him to go back.When her parents left, she left too.All promises are nothing but empty words in the end, just a trick to deceive those who believe foolishly, all hopes are just fleeting fireworks, no matter how beautiful they are, they will eventually become a pile Dust without color.Rather than listening to the boundless loneliness in an empty room and hoping for the kind of happiness that is out of reach, it is better to listen to the heartbreaking sound of the rain.At least, you can clearly realize that what you think you have will turn into nothingness in the end.

His trousers were wet to his knees, and his shoes were covered with mud. Looking at the darkening night, even those who didn't want to go home should go back.Holding an umbrella, he walked slowly towards home.But he didn't take a shortcut, but deliberately went into the alley and walked a long way.

The alley was already lit up with dim yellow light, and the rain on the ground was shining with little light, confusing the eyes of passers-by.Under the two broken street lamps, it was pitch black, like an ever-expanding black hole in the brilliant starry sky, so gloomy that it wanted to suck people in.Nangong Yu stared blankly ahead, slowly moving her feet into the darkness.

"Ah!" As he was walking, he suddenly tripped over something, staggered a few steps, and almost fell.

"There are bricks?" he thought, lowering his head to take a closer look, but the ground was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Forget it, if you are tripped, you are tripped, so what if you see clearly?He turned around and continued walking, but he stopped after walking not far. The fall just now always made him feel unusual.The alleys in this city have always been cleaned cleanly, and debris such as bricks and stones are rarely seen. Moreover, the feeling just now is not as hard as bricks and stones, but rather soft.What the hell is that?

As he thought about it, he took out his phone and returned to the place where he tripped to take a picture. On the edge of the light of the phone, he could vaguely see the appearance of a sneaker, which had been soaked by rain. With dim light.

A sneaker?Can a shoe stumble a 1.8-meter healthy youth?

He approached the shoe with his mobile phone, took a picture around it, and suddenly gasped.

Wherever the light went, a half-bowed human figure appeared.The man lay motionless on his side in the water, as if dead.

"Hello!" Nangong Yu kicked his feet carefully, but got no response.In the empty alley, only the sound of raindrops falling slowly can be heard.

He looked at the man silently for a while, then knelt down, put his fingers in front of his nose, a faint breath came to his hand - it seemed that he was still alive, but if he kept soaking like this, the man I'm afraid I'm really dead.

He looked around, and not far away was the gatehouse of the courtyard that had been locked all the time. Due to the cover of the eaves, the stone steps under the gate were relatively dry. He picked up the man and put him on it, and gave first aid. Telephone.

The man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, not tall, a little thin, and in this cold night, he was extremely thin against the tall and straight figure of Nangong Yu.He was lying wet on the stone steps, with short soft hair hanging down to the ground, revealing a pale but handsome face.It is unbelievable that this face looks very similar to Nangong Yu at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that the two have nothing in common.

Nangong Yu didn't realize this.After making the phone call, he squatted down and wiped the water on the teenager's face, and then touched his pockets, looking for clues to contact his family.As a result, I rummaged through my pockets, but only took out a few dollars in change.Looking at the wet banknotes in his palm, he frowned slightly and put them back where they were, then looked at the young man's pale face, lost in thought.If he can't wake up, he can only call the police, but if he calls the police...

Nangong Yu's face turned serious, he didn't want to have anything to do with the police.

The ambulance came soon, and the accompanying doctor was the first to jump off. He didn't hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat, and his snow-white look was extremely dazzling in such a night.He quickly walked downstairs, opened the first-aid kit to check the boy, but when his fingers touched the boy's cold face, he was taken aback.He hurriedly checked his breath and found that he was still breathing, so he quickly took off the boy's soaked clothes, wiped the water on his body with his white coat, and then rushed to the two female nurses who came down and said: "Little boy!" Qi, Chenxi, take off the gown and bring it here."

The short-haired female nurse Xiao Qi quickly took it off and handed it to the doctor. The long-haired female nurse Hao Chenxi was full of reluctance. She pouted and complained, "He wears short sleeves underneath."

The doctor gave her a merciless look: "Take off!"

She looked at the doctor, but did not move.

"Hao Chenxi!" The doctor was furious.

Hao Chenxi rolled her eyes at the doctor angrily, and immediately tore off her white coat and threw it over. The doctor caught it and wrapped it around the boy.

Hao Chenxi gritted her teeth, folded her shoulders and shivered exaggeratedly in the rain, and kept complaining about the sudden cold weather, but her actions didn't get any attention from the doctor, or even a word of comfort.

Nangong Yu watched this scene in silence, until the doctor finished examining the boy, he leaned down and asked in a low voice: "Doctor, how is he?"

"The coma caused by hypoglycemia requires an infusion to check the blood sugar level." The doctor gave the boy an injection and instructed two nurses to carry him into the car and put him on a drip. Then he packed his things into the emergency box, He stood up and patted Nangong Yu's shoulder reassuringly, "But don't worry, he will be fine soon."

Nangong Yu nodded, thought for a while, and asked the doctor, "Which way do you want to go?"

"Guangyang Road." The doctor got into the car as he said that. Seeing that Nangong Yu was still standing there, he waved to him again, "Hurry up and get in the car."

Nangong Yu sat next to the doctor with the boy's clothes on her shoulders, and then asked, "Can I stop at Xiuxinyuan on the way?"

"Xiu Xin Yuan?" All the people in the car looked at him in surprise.

"What are you doing there?" Hao Chenxi, who was sitting opposite, asked.

"I'll go back and get something."

"But that's...you are..." Hao Chenxi stared at Nangongyu in panic, speechless.

"I live there." Nangong Yu said calmly.

There was a dead silence in the ambulance.

A few seconds later, the doctor broke the creepy atmosphere. He leaned forward and said to the driver in front, "Xiao Li, drive quickly and remember to stop at Xiuxinyuan."

"Okay." The driver received the instruction and started the ambulance without any hesitation.
