Chapter 9: Striving to Find a Gap of Hope 04
Just when I was feeling helpless, a familiar voice sounded from behind us.
"Student Yan?"
I turned around in surprise and found Su Xiaobei running towards me.
He glanced at Ju Chenxi lying on the ground and asked me, "What's going on?"
I sobbed and said, "Ju Chenxi was beaten by those thugs for saving me... and ended up in this state now."
I felt like I had grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly asked Su Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, what do you think I should do?"
Su Xiaobei glanced at Ju Chenxi suspiciously, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, "Hurry up and wipe your tears. I'll call the emergency number right away. Ju Chenxi...he will be fine."
I watched Su Xiaobei dial 120 , and then I began to wipe my tears with peace of mind.
"Yes, that's right, it's the XX intersection. There's a person with a head injury here. I don't dare to move easily. Please send a car over here quickly."
After calling the emergency number, he called the police. Because I didn't know the situation very well and I couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, he just gave a brief description.
There was nothing we could do except wait.
Su Xiaobei was not very good at comforting people, she just held the tissue and kept handing it to me.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came: "Hey, when the police come later, can you tell them that I did everything by myself?"
I raised my head and found that the person speaking was Li Kai.
Su Xiaobei looked at him with hostility and said, "You are the one who beat Ju Chenxi like this, and you have the nerve to say such things."
He suddenly showed a very bitter expression and pleaded, "This matter was originally my responsibility alone. The other people just followed me here, and I was the one who beat them up. Why did you have to involve so many people?"
Su Xiaobei didn't buy it at all: "These should be judged by the law, not decided by you and me."
Seeing that Su Xiaobei was not moved by his soft words or hard words, Li Kai started to lose his temper again: "I have already given you enough face, don't push your luck."
"Student Yan, don't worry too much. Ju Chenxi will definitely get better soon." Su Xiaobei ignored Li Kai and said to me.
I nodded and repeated his words: "Ju Chenxi will definitely get better soon."
After a while, the police car and ambulance arrived.
The nurses carried Ju Chenxi into the car.
Li Kai insisted to the police that he did everything alone.
It took me a long time to speak clearly, and then I told the police that there was not only Li Kai, but also several other people.
The policeman had a complicated expression on his face. He took Li Kai away and asked me to go to the police station as soon as possible to take a statement and cooperate with them to draw a portrait.
After we got in the car, Su Xiaobei handed me the phone and said, "Hurry up and call Ju Chenxi's parents."
I dialed Aunt Liu's number with trembling hands, but I was crying the whole time and couldn't express clearly what I wanted to say.
Aunt Liu didn’t know what was going on, so she could only comfort me anxiously.
Finally, seeing that I couldn't explain clearly, Su Xiaobei took the call.
"Auntie, hello, I am Ju Chenxi's classmate. He has had an accident and is in xx hospital. I hope you can come as soon as possible."
His hair was completely shaved off and wrapped in ugly bandages. Although he never said it, I knew he was a very beautiful person.
I couldn't help but shed tears and blamed myself in my heart. If it weren't for me, if he hadn't met me, he wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. If I had gotten off work on time, we wouldn't have met this group of gangsters.
Su Xiaobei touched my head distressedly and comforted me: "Student Yan, don't be sad, and don't think that this is all your fault. Everything is the fault of those bad guys."
Not long after Ju Chenxi was pushed into the operating room, Aunt Liu arrived.
She saw Ju Chenxi with a bandage on his head through the glass and suddenly burst into tears.
The tears that I had finally stopped started to flow again, and I felt like I was about to shed all the tears I would cry in my lifetime.
Aunt Liu also kept crying. Like me, she was blaming herself for not following Ju Chenxi out.
She probably guessed that I was involved, but she didn't blame me.
This makes me feel even more guilty.
It took a long time for me to calm down a little.
I quickly thanked Su Xiaobei: "It's all thanks to you today. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
"It's okay, we are all classmates, and it's only natural for us to help each other." I could hear a hint of bitterness in his words.
Then he reminded me, "When Aunt Liu comes, I'll accompany you to the police station to take a statement and draw a portrait. The sooner we issue a wanted notice for them, the sooner we can catch all the perpetrators."
I nodded heavily.
After Aunt Liu finished the formalities and came over, I told her my thoughts.
Aunt Liu said to me in a haggard voice: "Xiao Le, it's so late, I'll take you there."
I shook my head and refused: "Auntie, you just stay here with Ju Chenxi, I can do it myself."
Su Xiaobei said: "Auntie, it's okay, I'll go with her. Don't worry, Ju Chenxi will be fine, he will get better soon."
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Said: "Then go ahead, be careful on your way, and call me if anything happens."
I looked at Ju Chenxi lying on the bed with heartache, and then I followed Su Xiaobei reluctantly. If I didn't want to catch those who hurt Ju Chenxi, I would never leave him.
After arriving at the police station, I did everything according to the regulations.
When I walked out of the police station, I couldn't help crying again.
Su Xiaobei quickly spoke to comfort me and said, "Ju Chenxi will get better , don't worry too much."
Then he added: "Have you ever heard this passage?"
"We should not be too happy or too sad about something, one reason is that everything is changing, and another reason is that our judgment of what is good and what is bad is illusory. Therefore, almost everyone has been very sad about something at one time, but in the end it turned out to be a great blessing."
I looked up at him blankly and asked, "Is this all true?"
"Of course it's true. Even if I deceive the whole world, I will never deceive you."
After returning from the police station, although Aunt Liu was already guarding Ju Chenxi's bedside, I still stubbornly stayed there.
Su Xiaobei saw me through the glass outside the door and shook his head helplessly, but he did not leave. Instead, he sat on the bench outside. When I went out to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I saw him leaning against it and sleeping.
This matter had nothing to do with Su Xiaobei.
I feel complicated, guilty and sad.
He always shows up when , and I am really touched. Sometimes I even think, it would be great if the person I like is Su Xiaobei. Although I am very immature, I still know that feelings are the strangest thing in the world. There is no way to control them, and even less to force them.
Some people give a lot but get nothing in return, while some people just look at you and capture your heart.
In the middle of the night, Aunt Liu woke up and saw me lying on the edge of the bed. She put her coat on me. I heard the sound and woke up.
Aunt Liu saw that I was awake, looked at me tenderly, helped me put the bangs away from my eyes, and said distressedly: "Good boy, it's really hard for you."
"Although Auntie doesn't know what happened, I can imagine that you were in a very dangerous situation just now. I also know how you feel about Ju Chenxi. If there is anyone in this world who is as worried about Ju Chenxi as I am, I'm afraid it's only you."
My tears started to well up in my eyes again, and I choked up and said, "Auntie, it's all my fault."
Aunt Liu wiped away the tears from my eyes and comforted me, "Good child, don't think like that, it's not your fault. You know? People who are unconscious can still hear sounds. Don't cry, otherwise Ju Chenxi will be sad if he hears you."
After a while, I saw Aunt Liu's eyes were red. She looked up and said to me a little embarrassedly, "Auntie is going to the bathroom. You stay here with Ju Chenxi."
I knew that Auntie couldn't help crying. I held Ju Chenxi's hand tightly and said with a sob, "I didn't mean to cry. Can you really hear me? If you can hear me, promise me to wake up soon, okay? Auntie and I are very worried about you."
"If you don't wake up, I will feel guilty to death." I lay on the edge of the bed, hoping that after Ju Chenxi opened his eyes, the first person he saw would be me. I also wanted to express my apology to him at the first opportunity.
I don't want to wait any longer. I want to tell Ju Chenxi that I want to face my feelings for him bravely. I also want to tell him in person how much I like him and I hope to be by his side forever.
