The ambulance took He Xubei away, the police car took Li Ye away, the onlookers dispersed, and the world became quiet, as if the noise had never happened. Only a patch of bright red remained on the ground.
The bright red stung my eyes, and they seemed to jump proudly to prove to me that everything just now was true. I looked up at the sky, and it turned out that the October sun was so dazzling.
"Yi Ping'an, Yi Ping'an! What's wrong with you?"
Someone called my name in panic. I fell straight to the ground.
When I woke up, everything around me was unfamiliar. My phone showed that it was the early hours of the morning. I looked out the dark window and realized that I was in the hospital. The dizziness was still there, and I closed my eyes and fell into unconsciousness again.
Easy peace, easy peace...
I heard someone calling my name, the voice was very nice and gentle. I opened my eyes and saw it was He Xubei. He said, Yi Pingan, you are a "troublemaker". I wanted to ask him why he said that to me, but he turned around and walked away with a smile.
Li Ye chased me with a wicked smile holding a marker, Yi Ping'an, you are sleeping outside again, I want to draw a turtle for you!
I was so scared that I kept running, and then I fell down.
He Xubei came over and asked Li Ye why he bullied me, and then they started fighting for some reason. He Xubei's body suddenly started falling, falling endlessly. I opened my eyes wide in horror, and I saw the black abyss behind him. I shouted He Xubei's name frantically, and I wanted to grab his hand. I heard him smiling and asking me - Yi Pingan, do you like me?
I wanted to move, but I couldn't. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I struggled to wake up, but I couldn't.
This is a dream, a nightmare.
"An An, An An, wake up, wake up!" I was awakened by a female voice, it was Ling Shanshan.
"Shanshan... Shanshan..." I hugged her and cried bitterly.
Shanshan patted my back gently: "An'an, cry! You will feel better after crying."
I cried at the top of my lungs, crying for that dream and the fear in my heart.
I asked Shanshan: " How is he? How is He Xubei?"
How painful was it to fall from such a high altitude? How is he now? Is he still being rescued?
"An'an, you've been in a coma for two days, take a good rest." Shanshan wiped her eyes and said with a sob, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Shanshan didn't mention He Xubei. She must be hiding something from me. He Xubei's condition must be bad, otherwise why would Shanshan wipe her tears behind my back? I could see her shoulders shaking with sadness.
"Shanshan, what happened to He Xubei? Is it serious?" I pulled Ling Shanshan, I wanted to ask for an answer, but I was afraid that the answer I got would make me despair, "Shanshan, can you tell me?"
Ling Shanshan didn't tell me anything because she ran out crying.
When I woke up from my daze again, I saw Li Ye.
He stood at the head of the bed, his eyes fixed on me, his expression showing pain, self-blame and regret.
Wasn't he taken away by the police? Does his appearance here mean that he is fine? Does that mean He Xubei is also fine?
My face was covered with tears but I forced a smile and asked him, "Li Ye, how is He Xubei now? Shanshan refused to tell me, you must know, right?"
I got off the bed and pulled Li Ye, "Come on, take me to see him, just take a look, okay?"
"Ping An, He Xubei...he is dead." Li Ye didn't look at me, and then told me a cruel fact.
Hearing this, I looked at him angrily: "Li Ye, how can you curse him to death? Even if you don't want to take me to see him, you can't do this!"
"Yi Ping'an, He Xubei is really dead!" Li Ye repeated, "Ping'an, calm down!"
My hands dropped, and only these words echoed in my mind.
He Xubei, he's dead! This is such a cruel thing to say.
I looked at Li Ye, and I thought that there had never been a moment when I hated him so much, and there had never been a moment when I didn't want to see him so much, because the words he said broke my heart in an instant.
I rushed to the door, I wanted to find He Xubei.
"Impossible, impossible! How could He Xubei die! Li Ye, you are lying to me!" I tore Li Ye apart frantically, "It's all you, it's you! Why didn't you catch him? It's you who killed him, you murderer..."
"Ping An, calm down, don't make a fuss... It's my fault, it's all my fault!"
