Chapter 77 Death
Seeing this scene, my eyes widened, and I felt like I was struck by lightning. It took me a long time to react - these guys are not human! !
What do they want to do in the ICU?
Thinking of the dirty thing that attached to Jia Jia before she died...do these guys want to harm Cheng Xiaoyan now?
No, no! I can't let them do this!
My mind got hot and I couldn't care less about anything else. I strode towards the ICU ward.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
I saw those gray-clothed men who "went" into the ICU, as if they were frightened by something, and "went" back out again, with terrified looks on their faces, holding their heads and running away. After a while, they disappeared.
I was stunned.
what's the situation?
Why are they so scared?
Clang——
At this time, the door of the ICU ward opened, and doctors and nurses in white coats walked out.
They looked depressed and lost, shaking their heads and sighing.
Seeing this, my heart sank and I almost guessed something.
The most feared thing still happened.
Although this day has to be faced sooner or later, when it really comes, I still feel suffocated all over.
"Come in, she wants to see you for the last time." The doctor came over and patted my shoulder.
My body trembled, my heart felt like it fell into ice water, and my mind was like a bucket of paste.
My feet felt like they were in plaster and I couldn't move them at all.
Finally, I went to the ICU.
Cheng Xiaoyan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. The muscles on her face were trembling constantly. She was mumbling to herself, but no one knew what she was saying.
I walked over quickly, held her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiaoyan?"
Her palms were extremely cold, like ice.
As if she sensed something, she also held me tightly and uttered two words in a thin voice: "Sun Ao?"
Buzz——
When I heard her call, I felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over me from head to toe, and my whole body went numb.
Sun Ao?
Until now, does she still only remember her male idol?
The bitterness in my heart exceeds the sadness.
"Sun Ao, is... is it you?"
She said with difficulty.
The palms are getting tighter and tighter.
I took a deep breath and said, "It's me, I'm Sun Ao."
A smile bloomed on her face.
Honestly, I've never seen her so happy.
It’s worth it, really worth it.
After being tortured by the disease for so long, what does it matter if I can leave without any regrets at the last moment, even if it is just a beautiful lie?
What does my sacrifice mean?
Cheng Xiaoyan grabbed my hand and said in a faint voice:
"Sun Ao, I...I've always wanted to tell you that, actually, I don't hate you."
"If you can give me... give me a chance to start over, I will definitely not investigate you. I will... I'm sorry."
As Cheng Xiaoyan spoke, tears began to flow and she choked.
"Sun...Sun Ao, are you there?"
"I'm here," I said.
"In ...in the cabinet of Ward 105 in Building D, there are the sneakers I bought for you. You...you always said you wanted...a limited edition pair of AJ basketball shoes. I...I finally bought them for you. You...you can go get them when you have time."
"Sun Ao, I really regret why I took the initiative to break up with you..."
By the end of the conversation, Cheng Xiaoyan, who was in a coma, was sobbing.
I remained silent.
At this moment, I finally understood what it means that the farthest distance is not at the horizon, but right in front of you.
Since I came to Building D, my life has fallen into gloom. It was this naughty, willful and unruly girl who broke into my world and added a bit of life to my gloomy world.
I forgot when it started, but the thing I look forward to most when returning to Building D is meeting her.
To be selfish, when Cheng Xiaoyan moved into Building D, I felt mixed emotions.
Yes, I really want to get along with her. Actually, she is not that good, but human emotions are so complicated and unpredictable.
At this moment, these words she uttered as she lay dying were like needles piercing my heart. I felt so painful that I wanted to die, but I still had to continue acting with her.
"Hold me, okay?"
Cheng Xiaoyan suddenly said.
I nodded instinctively and hugged her gently.
Her body was almost losing its temperature. The closer I got, the more clearly I could see the spots on her neck, face, and forehead.
She hugged me too.
At this final moment, perhaps it was a last burst of energy, she had a lot more strength and hugged very tightly.
Feeling the softness in my arms, that last touch of tenderness, I know that this doesn't belong to me at all.
She came to me in a semi-conscious state .
Then she kissed me.
Cold lips, without a trace of emotion, and just a light touch.
Her hands slowly loosened, and her strength seemed to disappear bit by bit.
"Xiaoyan?" My heart trembled and I called out with a pale face.
She smiled.
Sweet smile.
Then, she said something that made me cry no longer:
"Zhiyong, I know it's you, thank you..."
The sound became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
The body of the girl in his arms suddenly became heavy.
All her weight was pressed down, leaving no support.
I know, she is gone, gone forever...
Holding her numbly, my heart almost stopped.
At some point, Lao He and some patients came in.
They looked at me sadly, said nothing, just watched from the side.
Maybe, one day they will be like this, maybe, that day will come very soon...
Cheng Xiaoyan, who had stopped breathing, lay quietly in my arms, as if she was asleep.
I looked at her and whispered in her ear about the past and every detail of campus life.
I was expecting her to come back to life like last time, and I was expecting the doctors to exclaim, "Oh my God, this is a miracle in medical history."
Unfortunately, I waited for several hours, but the miracle still did not happen.
Finally, I brought Cheng Xiaoyan back to Building D.
I can't accept that she is gone like this.
She clearly "resurrected" last time, so she can definitely do it this time!
On the underground second floor of Building D, there is a special corpse cold storage room, which is a temporary preparation.
I carried Cheng Xiaoyan on my back to the second floor below ground and carefully placed her in the freezer .
"Xiaoyan, you will wake up again, right?"
"I believe you will wake up."
I kissed her on the cheek and said in a bitter voice.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Cheng Xiaoyan seemed to have heard my call, and her gradually stiffening little hands actually twitched.
I was startled. Did it move?
Really moved?
"Xiaoyan? Xiaoyan, can you hear me?"
I shouted again.
A shocking scene appeared!
One of Cheng Xiaoyan's hands twitched slightly, and then slowly raised up...
Before I could even feel happy, this hand suddenly reached out and fiercely pinched my neck...
