Chapter 9 Duckweed 03
When I woke up, I was already in the hospital.
The small ward was packed with people. It seemed that everyone in the bar was there, and there were also some familiar faces.
The three people in the dormitory looked worried, Mo Beibei who kept crying, Leng Yuting who was reluctant, Ji Yusheng with a bitter face, Lin Feng with red and swollen eyes, and even Mosquito who had just quarreled with me were all there. Look, it seems that there is no one missing, but I still feel like someone is missing.
Seeing me wake up, everyone was silent.
I suddenly felt that the atmosphere was depressing and somewhat uncomfortable.
They all knew I was ill? Otherwise, why would they all look like they were in a hurry to attend a funeral?
"Ai Ye, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint? We were scared to death!" Ji Yusheng asked me first with a grin.
I have been unhappy with him recently and don't want to pay attention to him. I just silently ate the orange that Cai Miao peeled for me.
Looking at that group of people, except for the crying Mo Beibei, Leng Yuting who has always been indifferent to me, and the Mosquito with a stiff expression, they all looked at me with worry. I was too embarrassed to continue pretending to eat oranges as nothing happened, so I laughed at them: "What can happen to me? It's just that I've been overworked recently and my body can't take it. Plus, I just had a fight with someone, so I might have fainted because of the blood rushing to my heart!" After saying that, I deliberately glanced at Mosquito, and sure enough, Mosquito's expression became even stiffer.
"Is this true? If you just fainted due to fatigue, how come you didn't react at all? I heard from Xiaoba and the others that more than ten people called you but you didn't wake up! Xiaoye'er, are you really okay?" Ji Yusheng didn't hold grudges at all and continued to ask questions while lying on the head of my bed.
I rolled my eyes at him, spat out a mouthful of orange seeds and said, "What could possibly happen? If someone faints and can be woken up, then what is that called fainting? What are you supposed to do? Why don't you have classes or work when you have so much free time? You're all blocking the way here, stealing my fresh air! Aren't you deliberately trying to make me faint again?"
I angrily stretched out my hand to chase the group of people away.
However, everyone still looked reluctant to leave and refused to leave, as if they wanted to stay here for the group dinner!
"Okay, if you don't leave, then I'll leave! I'm fine now, I'll pack up and go back to school! It's all Xiaoba and the others who are making a fuss!" I said as I reached out to lift the quilt, but Mo Beibei came up to me and pushed me back onto the bed.
"Ai Ye, just lie down for a few more days! The doctor said you are overworked, so you should rest more!" Mo Beibei said while covering me with a quilt.
I looked at her red and swollen eyes and smiled at her.
Since Mo Beibei said so, it means that no one knows my true condition yet.
It’s better not to know! I don’t want to be looked at as if I’m going to die every day.
"Yes! Sister Ye, just lie down for a few more days! My brothers and I will take care of the store's affairs, so don't worry. I was really scared when you fainted just now. Fortunately, Mo Beibei and Leng Zimo helped send you to the hospital. We were relieved when the doctor said you were okay. This is the first time I have seen someone faint like this!" Xiaoba said, rubbing his hands.
I looked at him in astonishment, then at Mo Beibei who was sitting beside my bed.
Leng Zimo went there too? I looked at Mo Beibei and asked.
Mo Beibei lowered her head and said nothing.
I suddenly panicked and realized why Leng Zimo was not in the ward.
Did he know? Well, he knew. He would know it sooner or later.
"Okay, I get it. I'll just lie down for a few more days. Get out of here right now! Don't hang around in front of me. You're an eyesore!" I pretended to be angry and drove them away.
"Just go! Some people just don't know what's good for them!" Leng Yuting, who disliked me, retorted on the spot.
I was too lazy to pay attention to her. I waved at her and said "Goodbye", then watched her drag Ji Yusheng, who was eating my orange, out of the ward.
Then Xiaoba and his friends left, followed by Cai Miao, An Jia and the others. Finally, only Lin Feng, Mo Beibei, Mosquito and I were left in the ward.
I glanced at Lin Feng, who was still unwilling to give up on me, and my scalp went numb. I pushed Mo Beibei and said I wanted to talk to Mosquito alone, and motioned her to take Lin Feng away. So, Mo Beibei stood in front of Lin Feng awkwardly and asked Lin Feng to go with her.
Lin Feng glanced at Mosquito who was standing at the door with an embarrassed look on his face, then looked at me. Seeing that we seemed to have something to talk about, he didn’t say much and followed Mo Beibei away.
"What else do you want to talk about? Don't let yourself get so angry that you faint while talking!" Seeing that everyone had left, Mosquito stepped closer to the room and said sarcastically in a sour tone.
I didn't care and threw an orange to her, then smiled bitterly at the lilies that someone had sent to me.
"Mosquito, what do you think would happen if I died? If I died, would you be able to get along well with Weiwei?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Mosquito's hand trembled and the orange fell down. She stared at me with a taboo face: "What nonsense are you talking about! What's the matter of death? Everyone died, but you, Ai Ye, will definitely not die! You are so smart, who can kill you! Don't talk nonsense! You don't need to care about what happens between me and Li Wei, just take care of yourself!"
I glanced at the smashed orange with resentment, and said to Mosquito, "I'm serious! I'm not a god, I can get sick, and I can get into a car accident! If I really die suddenly, I really can't let you and Weiwei go. Mosquito, actually, the words I said when we quarreled were not angry words, I really wanted to scold you, I don't understand why you become like this, but then I think about it, people will change. If I were in your situation, maybe I would become worse than you. Actually, I really don't have any requirements. It doesn't matter if we can't be friends. I just hope that you don't cling to the past too much, look to the future, and look forward to each other and live your own happy life, okay?"
"No! I told you that it's none of your business what happens between me and Li Wei's family. You can say I'm being unreasonable or that I'm mentally retarded. Anyway, I'm unhappy to see Li Wei living a good life. You can scold me however you want. Anyway, my future life is aimed at destroying Li Wei. If you can't stand it, just go and help her. I don't want it. I'll just annoy you if I stay here. You should have a good rest. I'm leaving." After saying this, Mosquito turned and left, leaving me alone sitting on the hospital bed.
"What if Weiwei's life isn't as good as you think?" I asked the figure from behind, but Mosquito never looked back.
I stayed in the hospital for a few days. People came to see me one after another, but I never saw Mosquito again. I also never saw Leng Zimo.
One time, Ji Yusheng was chatting in my ward and mentioned Leng Zimo. He said that he was very good at electronic information technology and that the teachers valued him very much. He also said that a foreign software company had taken a fancy to him and hoped that he would go there for training. Anyway, his future was bright.
I have never known how to handle the relationship between Leng Zimo and I. Now that he knows about my illness, he knows that we have no future.
Some things don't have to be made clear.
After I was discharged from the hospital, a group of people suggested going to Li Wei’s bar to celebrate. But the thought of celebrating gave me a headache.
When a few people were gathered together shouting and yelling, the minibus running through the lobby suddenly rushed over, grabbed my hand excitedly and shouted.
The music in the bar was very loud and people were talking at the table, but I still heard it clearly.
Xiaoba said, Sister Wei is back.
It turns out that it has been a year.
