atypical romanticism

Zhou Yu fell asleep for a whole day, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.Half asleep and half awake, Zhou Yu faintly heard the news in the living room and seemed to say, "From 2020 o'clock on January 1, 23, the city's bus, subway, ferry, and long-distance passenger transportation will be suspended. Citizens should not leave Han without special reasons. Airports, train stations, etc. Temporarily closed until further notice"

She subconsciously touched the phone, only to find that the phone was out of battery.

After charging the phone, Zhou Zhou shouted in the living room: "Little fish, it's time to eat. Your mother made braised pork ribs."

The three words "have eaten" have a special meaning in Zhou Yu's family. They are synonymous with "sorry". Make a good meal in the kitchen, for example, braised pork ribs.

Zhou Yu agreed, and fell into bed again.

headache.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and the phone had turned on automatically, and the notification sound of WeChat rang twelve times in a row.Zhou Yu was stunned - am I angry?

She sat up, took her mobile phone, and sent all the WeChat messages to Sheng.Zhou Yu clicked on a voice message, but the voice was returned by Lu Jun: "Miss Zhou, I know this is very abrupt, but is it convenient for you to come to Beijing now?"

"If it's really difficult, can you play a video?"

The next eight were video invitations mixed with two audio invitations, and she suddenly felt uneasy.

The last voice was automatically released, and Lu Jun's voice was extremely impatient, which complemented the noisy environment around him: "Zhou Yu! Your wife is dying, can you reply?!"

Zhou Yu's hand lost strength, and the phone fell, and the charging cable stayed with it, thus avoiding the tragedy of disfigurement.

——Xiang Sheng, are you dying?

Are you... are you kidding me?

She picked up the phone, trembling uncontrollably, pressed the wrong password three times, tears fell on the phone screen, she wiped it with the sleeve of her pajamas, took two deep breaths, and finally unlocked the password.

Zhou Yu huddled in the corner of the bed, holding the mobile phone in her left hand and trembling slightly, biting the nail of her right thumb every now and then. After the call was connected, her heart also rose to her throat—but Xiang Sheng smiled The voice of meaning did not sound.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please..." Zhou Yu hung up resolutely, and played back.

Lu Jun's angry voice was too loud, Zhou Zhou and Yu Hong in the living room looked at each other, finally Zhou Zhou carefully opened the door, and saw Zhou Yu curled up in the corner with his hair loose and tears streaming down his face.

"Little fish, what's the matter?" Zhou Zhou had seen Zhou Yu's look like he had lost his soul, and hurriedly greeted Yu Hong: "Old Yu, come quickly!"

Perhaps it was Zhou Yu who was reminded by Zhou Zhou's words, she got up and got out of bed suddenly, but her feet were unstable, her knees went straight to the tiles, but she didn't seem to feel the pain, she got up again and grabbed Zhou Zhou He choked up and begged, "Dad, Dad, can you use your mobile phone for me, my mobile phone, the letter... signal is not good, she, she can't receive my call."

Although Zhou Zhou kept silent at home, Zhou Yu's education and life were basically arranged by Yu Hong. In Western terms, their family is a typical "widowed-style parenting education", but this does not mean that he I don't feel sorry for my daughter.

Seeing Zhou Yu's appearance, my heart was sour, and I looked at Yu Hong with a bit more blame - look, you are the one who forced the child.

But he only dared to move his eyes, and his mouth was still cowardly, so he hurriedly said to Yu Hong: "My mobile phone is on the coffee table, bring it here quickly."

Yu Hong looked at Zhou Yu, and was also stunned—not only Zhou Zhou had never seen Zhou Yu like this, since he was a child, Zhou Yu had never shown his collapsed emotions in front of her.

Did she really push Zhou Yu too hard?

Yu Hong didn't dare to think too much, and when he hurriedly took the phone over to hand it to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's own phone rang.

The call page says "Xiang Teacher".

Yu Hong frowned - when she picked Zhou Yu back, Zhou Yu's voice in the car seemed to be "Teacher Xiang".

Zhou Yu picked up the phone, and instead of her familiar voice, it was Lu Jun's exhausted and hoarse voice: "Hello? Is it Zhou Yu?"

Zhou Yu opened and closed her mouth several times, but she couldn't make a sound. Finally, she covered her mouth and said "um".

Lu Jun sighed and said, "Why did you call me back?"

Zhou Yu didn't answer, but asked, "Xiang Sheng, what's wrong?"

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and Zhou Yu's heart began to throb again, his voice broke through the confinement, and he shouted, "What's wrong with her! Do you know that words like 'death' can't be joked casually!"

"Zhou Yu!" Lu Junhui's voice also increased, and after realizing that he was in the hospital, his voice dropped again, but he was still not kind: "Xiang Sheng is now in the ICU, she... her cancer Spread, the doctor said..."

Zhou Yu heard busy voices—cancer?

diffusion?

That's why she said that she couldn't give "responsibility" to her. That's what she meant.

Why didn't she find out?

Xiang Sheng can find out that she has bipolar disorder, why can't she find out that Xiang Sheng is a cancer patient?

Is she blind?

Yu Hong and Zhou Zhou stood at the door. Yu Hong just wanted to ask, but Zhou Zhou dragged him out.

"What are you doing!" Yu Hong asked, shaking off Zhou Zhou.

"You didn't see that the child was crying, so what are you asking?" Zhou Zhou muttered while sitting on the sofa with his head down.

Yu Hong wanted to say something else, but Zhou Zhou suddenly roared: "Didn't you see the child crying! Why can't you wait for her to finish calling before asking! You must stop her from coming in front of the child's friends." tower?"

She and Zhou Zhou have been married for more than 40 years. When Zhou Zhou was young, he didn't have the guts to yell at her. When he was middle-aged, he suddenly broke out when he was approaching retirement. Yu Hong didn't react and froze.

When she regained her senses, Zhou Zhou had already gone back to her room and pretended to be asleep.

"Lu...Mr. Lu," Zhou Yu wiped away tears, laughed twice, and said to Lu Jun, "Don't be kidding, I have been living with her, cancer is not a minor illness, how could I find out Can't you?"

"That's right," Lu Jun sneered back, "Why didn't you find out."

"Xiang Sheng and I have known each other for more than 20 years. She has been the so-called 'Kid King' since she was a child. She will not hurt her when she sees things, but in fact she is more thoughtful than anyone else, and she is more thoughtful than us. Xiaodu is sensible," Lu Jun sighed back, "She has a relapse this time, and she is a medical student, so she understands what it means. She didn't want to waste time in the hospital at first, but she met you."

"Why don't I tell you all these things?" Lu Jun replied, "When I contacted you, her condition suddenly deteriorated. The doctor rescued her, but she was still in a coma."

Lu Jun paused, but his voice was still trembling: "At 2 o'clock in the morning today, I left."

Zhou Yu trembled, the phone lost the "never leave" of the charging cable this time, and the screen fell to the ground face down.Zhou Yu lost his strength and collapsed on the ground, Lu Junhui choked up and said, "Zhou Yu, Xiang Sheng asked me to say sorry to you."

"and also......"

Zhou Yuqiang sat up with his arms propped up, threw the phone out suddenly, and murmured, "You lied to me, how could it be?"

"When I left, I was still alone, how could I just say no and just disappear?"

"She just misses me a little bit, and wants me to see her," Zhou Yu's dark eyes flashed a gleam of light, "It must be like this, book a ticket, I'll book a ticket right now."

The screen of the mobile phone had been "shattered and fractured", Zhou Yu threw it aside, and the moment he pushed open the door, Yu Hong was stunned by his dazed and flustered appearance.

Zhou Yu didn't seem to realize this, he grabbed Yu Hong's hand, and said as if he had been pressed twice: "Mom, give me your phone, give me your phone, I want to book a ticket, I want go to Beijing!"

Even if Yu Hong is a piece of wood, at this moment she finally realized that Zhou Yu's current state is not much different from that of a lunatic. She raised the phone, grabbed Zhou Yu's hand that was trying to grab the phone, and said, "What's the matter? Yes, why go to Beijing?"

"Give me your phone!"

Zhou Yu's red and swollen eyes stared at her firmly, like a lone wolf abandoned by his companions, his body was full of scars, and all the malice was magnified to the world.

Zhou Zhou was pretending to be asleep, but when he saw this, he ran out and hugged Zhou Yu tightly from behind.

Zhou Yu struggled desperately, her eyes were still fixed on the mobile phone in Yu Hong's hand, her tears were surging uncontrollably like a flood that burst a bank, she was almost begging Yu Hong to give her the mobile phone.

But how dare Yu Hong give it to her.

She put the mobile phone on the TV cabinet, sat back in front of Zhou Yu, held Zhou Yu's shoulders, looked directly into her eyes, and shouted to Zhou Yu to be quiet: "Zhou Yu! Do you know, you Now I can’t go anywhere! Railway stations, airports, and high-speed rails across the country are closed!”

The news on the TV was playing in a loop, Zhou Yu lowered his head like a deflated balloon, and murmured: "She was just joking, just joking."

-

On January 1, Wuhan was closed down.

All parts of the country also responded to the policy and began to close roads and cities.On the video platform, the epidemic broadcast and the village party secretary's loudspeaker dissuading people from gathering to play cards have been popular for a long time, and the construction process of Huoshenshan Hospital is shown on TV.

The whole country, united as one, fought against this damn "surprise" sent by the end of Yihai.

What Zhou Yu didn't mention about going to Beijing was that he strictly abided by the epidemic prevention and control rules, and basically stayed in the room except for going to the toilet and drinking water.

Yu Hong rummaged through the box and found a mobile phone that was discarded before, and put it next to Zhou Yu's pillow.

Zhou Yu changed the SIM card into it, and after logging in to WeChat, ignored the red dots on the top, and clicked on the dialogue box with Xiang Sheng.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, and it slanted into her room. The sky was blue and clean without any impurities.

"It's New Year's Eve, Xiang Sheng."

"Tomorrow is my birthday, you have to remember to wish me a happy birthday."
