The selfish gene

On the way to the hospital for an examination, Xu Xi called suddenly. I couldn't speak, so I had to ask the medical staff to communicate with her.

"Hello, yes, he can't answer the phone right now... I'm a doctor from Hongshi Third Hospital. He just came out of the fire scene. He may have inhaled thick smoke, and he's in some condition. We won't know until the hospital has a detailed examination. ...Don't worry, there shouldn't be a big problem... No, no, he's still awake...Hello?" The medical staff said "Hello" a few times, took the phone away, glanced at it, and handed it back to me, saying, " out of battery."

There was no electricity at this time.I took the phone and tried turning it back on, but nothing happened.It seems that I can only go to the hospital to find a way to charge it.

The ambulance arrived at Hongshi Third Hospital in just 10 minutes, and I was sent to the emergency room for treatment.After a series of examinations, the doctor diagnosed me as moderate inhalational injury and asked me to stay in the hospital for observation.

"The symptoms of moderate inhalation injury will not be obvious at the beginning, and there may only be some irritating cough at the beginning, but once it enters the peak period of tissue edema, airway obstruction may occur at any time, causing life-threatening."

It's just a few puffs of cigarettes, do you want to be so exaggerated?

I didn't take the doctor's words to heart, only when he wanted to get my attention as much as possible before he said it seriously.

Pointing to my throat, because I can't make a sound, I can only communicate with the other party through body language.

"Glottis edema, usually three to four days after the injury, after the edema period passes, the voice will slowly recover." Fortunately, the doctor can understand what I mean.

As several more wounded from the scene of the fire came one after another, the doctor ordered the nurse to inhale oxygen for me, and then rushed to see other patients.

"If you feel short of breath, you must ring the bell. Don't lie down for two days, just maintain a sitting posture like this, understand?" The young nurse told me the precautions for the past few days while putting on my Oxygen nasal cannula.

Nodding, thinking of her dead phone, she was about to ask her if she could borrow a charging cable, but she had already turned around.Not paying attention to my body language at all, after closing the curtain for me, she went on to do other things.

"The place in Fly City is too unsafe, and it will burn if it catches fire."

Through the curtain, there was the sound of conversation beside the hospital bed.

"I heard that the fire was caused by someone burning charcoal at home, and the bed sheets were set on fire."

"Burning charcoal in summer? Suicide?"

"I don't know, the person died in the ambulance and was taken directly to the morgue."

"Hey, what's wrong with it? Suicide hurts others."

After inhaling oxygen, the lungs seemed to feel less uncomfortable.Spreading out the palms that had been clenched all the time, the exposed skin was covered with black ash, causing the red velvet ring box to accidentally rub the black.I blew it, but it couldn't be blown off, and I rubbed it on my pants, but still couldn't get it off. I frowned angrily, and put it in my trouser pocket out of sight.

After pulling out the nasal cannula and coughing, I came to the nurse's desk, shook the dead mobile phone in my hand, and "asked" if it could be charged.

"Put it here and charge it."

Pull out a charging cable from under the table, and the nurse plugs in my phone.After waiting for a while, it finally booted up smoothly.I immediately sent messages to Ji Chenfeng and Xu Xi respectively, reporting that they were safe, but I didn't see any reply from them for a long time.

I left my phone on the nurse's desk to charge, and I went back to the hospital bed to continue inhaling oxygen.

With nothing to do, and feeling a little uncomfortable, I tilted my head against the head of the bed and closed my eyes to fall asleep. After an unknown period of time, I vaguely heard my name.

"……Where is he."

I opened my eyes, and in the next second, Ji Chenfeng, who was pale and short of breath, opened the curtain and appeared in front of me.

As if he had run a long distance, his chest heaved violently, and he walked slowly towards me.

"Uncle Li told me that there was a fire at home. Your phone was turned off and I couldn't find you. I made many calls and found out that all the injured in the fire were sent here, so I came here."

Why such an expression?Am I not sitting right here?

Because I can't speak, I can only tell him through sign language that I'm fine, so that he doesn't have to worry.

"You see, I'm still very prescient, and I learned sign language in advance."

He thought that joking would ease Ji Chenfeng's mood, but he seemed to be shattered by my words, or shattered by the image of me using sign language.

Sitting down on the stool next to the bed, he stared at me for a while, his chest heaving did not subside, but intensified.

"Sang Nian..." He closed his eyes, suppressing some surging emotions, but with little effect.

He had no choice but to bend over and cover his face.

Breathing heavily, his whole body was trembling, and the air flow rubbed against his airway, making every gasp he breathed like an uncontrollable choked sob.

"Don't let me go through this kind of thing again." All the strong emotions finally turned into an extremely short sentence.Ji Chenfeng is not a person who is good at expressing pain, this is already his limit.

Not only the lungs, but even the heart began to throb.

Shouldn't have gone back to get the ring.If I knew that Ji Chenfeng would be so worried about me, I would never go back.

Isn't it just a pair of rings?Even if they are meaningful, their fundamental function is to please Ji Chenfeng.If he is displeased by it, what use is it to me to have them?

The palm hovered over Ji Chenfeng's head, hesitating for a while, and then gently dropped it.The palm slid over the short and hard hair, all the way down, caressing the pinnae of the ear, and finally took his hand.

He didn't resist, and let me hold him, showing his eyes that were red but without tears.

Fortunately, I didn't cry.

"I'm sorry." He brought his hand to his lips, kissed his fingertips, and gestured with the other hand to calm his emotions as much as possible.

Holding my hand backhand, it was so tight that it hurt, Ji Chenfeng didn't further express his fear, but just used a restrained and forbearing way to gain a sense of security from me.

Thick eyelashes drooped down, covering the thin red under the eyes, breathing evenly, trembling stopped, except for the sweaty hair roots, there is nothing on him that can be seen how he rushed into the emergency room anxiously to confirm my condition safe.

I want to kiss his eyes, feel the trembling of his eyeballs through the eyelids, stroke his eyelashes with my lips, and trace the end of his red eyes with the tip of my tongue.

The fragility of Ji Chenfeng made me want to wrap it in a cloth and hide it in the nearest place to the centrifuge entrance, without showing it to anyone.

mine.I declare sovereignty in my heart.

In order to monopolize him for a longer time, he will never die easily.

I once prayed to the gods to let Ji Chenfeng look at me again, so I didn't hesitate to lose half of my life.Now I regret it.

People also want life.

I will do many, many good things to make up for my backlash, and I will become more religious than anyone, so... please don't take my life back.

I pray to God again.

I also want to stay with this person a little longer, and a little longer, until the hair turns white, the teeth fall out, and deep dimples grow on the face.I'm not greedy, I don't want to live a hundred years, as long as I live one day longer than Ji Chenfeng.In this way, he will not have to experience the death of a loved one again.

Xu Xi found Ji Chenfeng when he was going to go through hospital procedures.

Stepping on high heels and wearing a high ponytail, he pulled open my curtain aggressively, and when he saw my distressed appearance, he came up and slapped me.

It didn't hurt, but it still pissed me off.

I wanted to ask her why she hit me, but I couldn't make a sound, so I could only complain with my eyes.

"This is the second time, Sang Nian..." She pointed at me with her index finger, her eyes turned red a little, and as she said through gritted teeth, two full teardrops came out of her eyes.

Behind her, Ji Chenfeng happened to return to the emergency room with the receipt. He was about to go to the nurse's desk, but when he saw Xu Xi beside the hospital bed, he changed his direction and came here.

"Do you remember what I said when you committed suicide last time? I said I don't want you to scare me like that again. I only have one expectation for you, that is, you must be healthy and happy."

"I asked you to contact me about something, but I was kicked out by the landlord and had no place to live. I still need to know from Xiaotang. I thought you had cheered up and could live a good life, but you burned charcoal again?"

Xu Xi punched my arm with hatred: "When you live in a place like Flying City, you don't tell us. Where did you suffer from this kind of suffering since you were a child? Come to me if you have no money. Will I help you?" Is it that my big company can't give you a bite to eat?"

I didn't care to look at Ji Chenfeng's expression, I shook my head and blinked at Xu Xi desperately, trying to stop her from speaking, but she failed to accept everything.

"Did you stop taking the medicine by yourself? I let you live with me, but you don't want to. This time, you will live with me even if you are tied up. I will watch you take the medicine myself. Do you hear me? What are you shaking your head for?" "

Why does she think I've committed suicide every time?Last time it was really easy to cause misunderstandings, but this time it was someone else burning charcoal, and I was just a fish in the pond who was affected, so does this count as my fault?

"I heard from Xiao Tang that you want Chenfeng's forgiveness, but he won't accept it." After Xu Xi got excited, he sighed and lowered his voice softly, "It's normal to lose love, where can you find men? Auntie has a lot of them, There are many people who have been interested in you before. As long as you nod, I will give you their contact information immediately. "

"Stop talking..." I made a breathy sound with difficulty, the pain in my throat suddenly intensified, and I coughed violently uncontrollably.

Ji Chenfeng passed by Xu Xi, and quickly stepped forward to pat me on the back.

"Don't use your voice, tell me what you have, and I'll relay it."

Xu Xi, who thought I was frustrated in love and couldn't bear to commit suicide a second time, was shocked. He looked at Ji Chenfeng as if he had seen a ghost, and even held back his tears.

"Auntie." Seeing that I stopped coughing, Ji Chenfeng straightened up and nodded at Xu Xi.

"You..." Xu Xi stared at me, then at Ji Chenfeng.

"Sang Nian has been with me these days. He lives in Flying City because my family is in Flying City." Ji Chenfeng explained to her, "Also, this fire has nothing to do with Sang Nian, he was affected .”

Xu Xi's words just now contained some contempt for Flying City. After hearing Ji Chenfeng's words, his expression became embarrassed, and when he realized that he had made a big oolong, his face began to turn red.

"I heard from the family members of the patients outside... There was a man who committed suicide by burning charcoal, set the house on fire, and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. I thought it was Xiao Nian." She gradually felt guilty, and the more she spoke, the softer she was.

"That person is dead." Ji Chenfeng said lightly.

Ever since I became conscious, Xu Xi has never been afraid of anyone, even when facing Sang Zhengbai, she is neither humble nor overbearing, and will not lower her figure a little bit.But today she flinched in front of Ji Chenfeng, showing an uneasy expression of knowing she was wrong.

He rummaged through his bag to find a wet tissue, and Xu Xi hurriedly pressed the scented tissue on my face: "Really, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

I almost laughed at her.Whoever slapped me as soon as we met, even if I can say it, do I have time to say it?

When she got to the place where I was beaten, she wiped my face with extra force, like cleaning a crime scene, as if she was afraid of leaving evidence of her crime.

"He's smoked so much that he can't speak now." Ji Chenfeng answered for me, perhaps because he couldn't bear to see Xu Xi treat my face like this. The wet tissue was stuffed into my hand, and I said, "You wipe it yourself."

"There's more..." Xu Xi graciously handed over the whole pack of wet tissues.

She angrily took the wet tissue from her hand, even if she didn't say anything, she should be able to clearly feel my dislike for her from my expression.

Xu Xi smiled sarcastically, opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Chenfeng.

"I have something to ask you, can I take a step to speak?"

The movement of wiping my cheeks stopped, and I looked up at Ji Chenfeng, knowing that he definitely wanted to know the details of my last "suicide" with Xu Xi, so I hurriedly used my poor vocabulary to express to him in sign language that all that was just a joke. Misunderstanding, I did not commit suicide.

"It was an accident, I didn't mean to."

He saw it, and was unmoved, and went outside with Xu Xi.
