AWB Chapter 68 Letting Go
Chapter 68 Letting Go
A figure hurriedly opened the door of the emergency department, and stopped a doctor on duty with a panicked expression, his voice trembling.
"Doctor, may I ask if there was a person with a knife wound in his back here before, called Ji Zhun!"
The doctor is obviously used to this kind of scene, looking at the pale and flustered young man in front of him, he slowed down and said, "Don't worry, I have the impression that the patient's wound has been treated and is not life-threatening. He was just transferred to the inpatient department not long ago, and his parents are with him."
Only then did Tan Jingyang dare to take a breath. His forehead was covered with sweat, his chest heaved rapidly and he nodded slightly at the doctor: "Thank you, doctor."
After speaking, he turned around and hurried out of the emergency building.
Seeing Tan Jingyang coming out, Cheng Zui, who was guarding the door, hurried forward to inquire about the situation, but Tan Jingyang was preoccupied with Ji Zhun at this moment, and he didn't bother to answer carefully, and said shortly: "In the inpatient department."
As soon as the two rushed into the inpatient department building, they were stopped by the security guards on duty at the door.
"Visiting is not allowed right now, come back tomorrow morning."
Tan Jingyang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound gentle, and patiently explained to the security guard: "My friend was injured tonight and is currently hospitalized upstairs. Please let me go up to see him, and I promise not to delay If it is too long, it will not affect other patients."
"That's not allowed." The security guard was firm, "This is the hospital's regulation, and I don't count if I say it. Besides, accompanying family members must have escort certificates. If you don't have certificates, how can I let you in?"
Tan Jingyang pursed her lips tightly, but still stubbornly stood there, motionless.
Seeing that there was no way to catch him, the security could only look at Cheng Zui who was behind him and said, "If you want me to say it, I won't delay it for a while, right? Isn't it almost dawn? Come back later in the daytime."
Cheng Zui silently glanced at Tan Jingyang, his lips moved but he didn't dare to speak.He knows Tan Jingyang's temper very well, and he is used to talking on weekdays, but at this time, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu persuaded him not to move.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the door behind them was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind poured in.
"Squad leader?...Why are you here?"
Sister Jiao stood at the door with a lunch box and a change of clothes, looking at Tan Jingyang in surprise.
When Tan Jingyang turned around and saw that it was Sister Jiao, his dark eyes flicked for a moment, and he hurriedly said:
"Auntie, let me come and see Jizhun."
Sister Jiao has always had a good impression of this squad leader, knowing that he works part-time and studies, shoulders the burden of the family alone, and lives with his younger brother.After Ji Zhun played with him, his academic performance seemed to improve a bit.There is also his younger brother Tan Le, who is smart and cute, and is loved by others, and his tutor is very good.
"Why are you here now?" Sister Jiao took two steps forward, handed out her escort card and said to the security guard, "This is my son's class monitor and... classmates, come and see him."
"Let's not talk about the class monitor, even the principal!" The security guard looked embarrassed, "I've been telling him for a long time, and it's not time to visit now, so don't make things difficult for me?"
Sister Jiao thinks about it too. The security guards are also acting in a responsible manner and following the rules.Then he turned around and said to Tan Jingyang: "Don't worry, Nao, no, Ji Zhun is fine, it's just that he's bleeding too much and he's still a little weak right now. Let him have a good rest tonight and come back tomorrow morning."
Hearing that Ji Zhun had shed a lot of blood, Tan Jingyang's heart ached again, and his brows frowned even tighter.
Sister Jiao patted him on the back: "Listen to Auntie, go back first, don't you have a younger brother at home?"
"I'm sorry, Auntie." Cheng Zui lowered his eyes, bit his lips and said, "Ji must have saved me..."
"I know."
Sister Jiao took a look at Cheng Zui. To be honest, she couldn't help but have some prejudices against this child. After all, her precious lump was stabbed to save him, and Chen Jianye said that this person seems to have a criminal record. There is a connection.
But rationality tells her that she can't do this before she knows the truth, let alone look at others with colored glasses.After all, the child was a victim himself.
"Your uncle told me all about it." Sister Jiao Chong Chengzui nodded, "It's fine, let's go back first." She paused and couldn't help asking again, "The police have already made it clear Is it?"
"Hmm." Cheng Zui said softly.
"That's good." Sister Jiao raised her chin slightly and looked at Cheng Zui again, her expression was somewhat similar to Ji Zhun.
Finally, she turned her eyes to Tan Jingyang again, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, your uncle and I are here. If Xiaozhun hasn't slept in a while, I'll tell him that you have been here."
Tan Jingyang rolled her throat a few times, finally sighed lightly and nodded, "I see... I'm sorry, Auntie, for causing you trouble."
"What are you talking about, silly boy? My little Zhun always troubles you." Sister Jiao had fine lines in her eyes, and she straightened Tan Jingyang's wrinkled collar casually, "You don't look too good , pay more attention to rest at ordinary times. Bring my younger brother to the house to play some other day."
"Well, thank you auntie."
"Good boy, go back quickly!"
After Sister Jiao finished speaking, she put the bag on her shoulder and entered the inpatient area.
Cheng Zui raised his head and asked Tan Jingyang softly, "Then we...?"
Tan Jingyang turned and walked out of the gate of the inpatient department without saying a word.
……
……
Winter nights always seem so long.
A thin layer of fog fell in the middle of the night, and the street lamps shimmered orange-yellow in the fog.
The humidity in the air was very high, and Tan Jingyang's clothes were slightly damp.He leaned against the light pole at the entrance of the hospital and lit a cigarette. He looked back at the inpatient building with a few lights on, and stopped moving when his eyes settled on one of them.
Cheng Zui was sitting by a nearby flower bed, his whole body was still shaking uncontrollably.
There was uncontrollable fear in his eyes, and he raised his head and called out to Tan Jingyang in a slight voice, "Can...can you light a cigarette for me too? I'm afraid I might lose it."
Tan Jingyang withdrew his gaze, took out the cigarette case from his coat pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, and put it in Cheng Zui's mouth.
Cheng Zui was biting his cigarette, and quickly took a deep breath, when he pinched the cigarette with his hand, he almost knocked it off.
"It's... a ladybug." Cheng Zui's eyes flickered, as if he had touched a terrifying memory.
"No, the ladybug is dead." Tan Jingyang said in a deep voice.
"Dead... Yes, Da Wuzi and the others beat the ladybug, and he suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, and even urinated, the cotton pants were wet..." Cheng Zui curled up into a ball, his eyes hugged blankly. head on.
"Ladybugs have congenital heart disease."
"Da Wuzi said that he beat people to stand up for me..."
"Fart, the two of them have not dealt with each other for a long time, and they just want to use you as a cover."
"Brother Yang..." Cheng Zui's eyes were red, his voice was obviously crying, "Fortunately you weren't there that day..."
Tan Jingyang closed his eyes, he had just quarreled with Yuan Chengwen that day, and ran to Meicheng alone overnight.When I came back, the whole street was rumored that Ladybug and Dawuzi had a fight, Ladybug was killed by Dawuzi, and Cheng Zui also participated in it.
You must know that Wuzi and Ladybug are not good guys in the first place, Tan Jingyang never believes that Wuzi is really trying to fight for Cheng Zui.
"If I were here, I wouldn't let you go anyway." Tan Jingyang buried her head and took two puffs of cigarettes, and said in a muffled voice.
"That person looks like a ladybug." Cheng Zui murmured, "It's not a ladybug, that's his brother. Da Wuzi is still inside, he thinks I killed the ladybug, and he came to seek revenge on me..."
"Have you told the police all this?"
"Yeah." Cheng Zui clenched his pants, bit his lip and nodded.
Tan Jingyang took a deep breath, tightened his shoulders holding Cheng Zui, and said in a low voice, "It's all over."
"It's over..." Cheng Zui's lips were stained with a self-deprecating smile, he turned to look at Tan Jingyang and said, "Brother Yang, do you know what my aunt and uncle did the day I entered the juvenile detention center?" ?”
He paused, then smiled lightly: "They took a long breath, let alone relieved. Maybe it's like my name, born with 'sin', who doesn't want to stay away? So, also Naturally, I won't end up with other people's gossip, and if I ask, I will say that Cheng Zui is nothing."
Speaking of Cheng Zui's aunt and uncle, Tan Jingyang subconsciously touched the scar on his wrist.
Cheng Zui obviously also noticed Tan Jingyang's small movements, looking at the other's wrist, there was a faint tenderness in his eyes.
"If it wasn't for you that day, my uncle would have chopped off my fingers..."
Following Cheng Zui's words, the memory seemed to return to that summer afternoon many years ago.
Cheng Zui's uncle was always drinking, and he rarely had time to see him sober.
That afternoon, Tan Jingyang heard Cheng Zui's heart-piercing cries through the door of the bungalow.It turned out that his uncle found out that he had lost 200 yuan, and Cheng Zui happened to have just bought a set of encyclopedias.
Tan Jingyang naturally knew that Cheng Zui bought the set of books with the money he saved from picking up bottles, but his uncle insisted that Cheng Zui stole his own money, took out a fruit knife from the kitchen, and cut Cheng Zui's Pressing his hands firmly on the table, he sternly threatened to chop off his fingers if he refused to admit it.
There is no room for reasoning with a drunk man, seeing the blushing man raised a fruit knife, Tan Jingyang hurried forward to protect Cheng Zui behind him.
During the push and push, the knife left a deep wound on Tan Jingyang's wrist. It was at this moment that this person named Tan Jingyang was also hidden in Cheng Zui's heart, letting him know that this There is at least one person in the world who will stand on his side.
Gradually, I don't know when the mind of being grateful and dependent began to change, and then sank deeper and deeper into another, more secretive position.
But Cheng Zui who discovered all this did not dare to hope, because in his eyes, Tan Jingyang should have a better family and life.Instead of being with yourself, it is even less likely to fall in love with a man.
Therefore, Cheng Zui hid his feelings in the deepest corner of his heart, even if he was a lifelong friend, he would be content. He even thought that if Brother Yang's future wife disliked him, then he would hide from them!
Until... the appearance of Ji Zhun.
He never dreamed that Tan Jingyang could fall in love with a man?
He does not allow anyone to destroy Tan Jingyang's wonderful life, because he also buried his deep love for it.If you can do it yourself, why can't Jizhun?
But at the same time, he also chose to self-paralyze and ignore the more real reason under this logic.
In fact, he is crazily jealous of Ji Zhun, obviously Tan Jingyang can accept a man, why can't that man be himself? !
This question has been bothering him since the day he came out to meet Ji Zhun.It wasn't until this moment that he seemed to really understand the reason.
If what happened tonight was that he saw someone trying to hurt Ji Zhun, he would never protect Ji Zhun as desperately as the other party did, and even block the knife for him.
He might even let out a long sigh of relief like his aunt and uncle did back then.Then he turned around and told Tan Jingyang that everything was a matter of Ji Zhun.
"Brother Yang..."
Cheng Zui spoke softly, raised his eyes and stared deeply at Tan Jingyang, "Can you tell me about your affairs?"
This time, no selfishness was hidden.
Let that light shine into his world if you can.
Just as Tan Jingyang wished, turn those rotten paper money into butterflies all over the sky.
……
……
The morning star is twinkling in the eastern sky.
The fog gradually cleared, and Tan Jingyang was the only one left under the street lights outside the hospital in a blink of an eye.
Half an hour ago, Cheng Zui silently listened to what Tan Jingyang told him about Ji Zhun with a cigarette between his fingers.Finally, he took another drag on the cigarette and stubbed it out.
His voice had become extremely dry at this moment, he raised his eyes and asked Tan Jingyang if he wanted to go home together?
Tan Jingyang was silent for a moment, then shook his head at him.Cheng Zui watched Tan Jingyang walk to the side of the road, stopped a taxi for him, and then Wen Sheng repeatedly told the driver to take him downstairs.
Cheng Zui lowered his head and pulled the corner of his lower lip, and didn't say anything more.He took off the scarf around his neck and put it on for Tan Jingyang, then opened the car door and got in.
"Tan Jingyang."
Cheng Zui rolled down the car window and stared at the other party quietly for a long time again, seeing that the former boy had lost his fierce and arrogant appearance, and had become forbearing and mature.
Finally, he smiled faintly, and then said to him seriously:
"You guys are fine."
The sky is getting lighter, and there are cleaners on the street with brooms sweeping the dead branches and leaves on the side of the road.After seeing Tan Jingyang, he couldn't help frowning, as if some playful student had just left.
Tan Jingyang threw the empty cigarette case into the trash can, then turned to look at the hospital gate, and walked in.He sat down on a bench in the garden, intending to stay there until dawn, and then to see Ji Zhun as soon as the visiting time came.
The mobile phone issued a low battery warning, Tan Jingyang took out the mobile phone and planned to send a message to the old class to ask for an early self-study leave.Suddenly, he found that a few hours ago, he had received a text message from Ji Zhun.
Tan Jingyang opened the phone with his fingers that were a little stiff from the cold, and the moment he saw the content of the text message, his pupils suddenly closed.
——Brother Yang, I have the answer.
