Xiaoshi turned off the lights, looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, and felt a boundless tranquility in her heart, with faint, unknown feelings flowing. She lowered her head again and looked at the sleeping man beside her. He still had a handsome face and deep facial features. The moment the firelight lit up the sky, that face was reflected vividly and brilliantly.
Xiaoshi was tired from sitting, so she walked around to the other side of the bed, carefully lay down beside the man, put her face on the crest of his neck, moved, found a comfortable position, and stuck it in with peace of mind. One hand rested on his chest, and the other grabbed his limp hand and covered it with his own. With a satisfied smile on his face, he looked at his flickering brows and eyes, and the beautiful long eyelashes seemed to be moving slightly with the changes of light and shadow.
Xiao Shi took a deep breath, feeling wrapped in his familiar breath again¡ªno, it should be said that he has actually been by her side for so many days and nights, never leaving her.
And the body next to her is so warm and fresh, Xiao Shi imagined that she was lying down with him, waiting for the arrival of the new year with a sweet and happy mood like before .
The fireworks outside the window were as colorful as flowers and as magnificent as a dream. Xiaoshi suddenly remembered a poem that she liked very much and had memorized:
Let's go watch the fireworks, shall we?
Go to see that
How to regenerate blooming flowers
How to reproduce the dream on top of the dream
Let us walk side by side through the desolate river bank and look up at the night sky
The ecstasy and sting of life
All in this moment
just like fireworks
Once I read it, I only felt happy, but now aftertaste, it is full of desolation.
This poem is like the gatha imprinted into her fate¡ªthe desolation and watch after the prosperous dream, the epiphany and relief after the ecstasy and sting. Even though she knows that this is her ultimate destiny, she still wants to be a firework that brightens the night sky. For the sake of a momentary brilliant bloom, she is desperate, even if it is followed by ashes and dust, it is worth it.
Xiaoshi smiled and closed her eyes At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly exploded in the sky, shaking the window frame slightly.
Xiaoshi was startled, and the fingers on Zhou Shaoting's chest tightened, grabbing the front of his padded pajamas. Almost at the same time, she seemed to feel that the hand covering her also curled up its fingers, like a spasm, which was fleeting, and when she realized it, she was motionless, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Shi sighed deeply, thinking that maybe he was too nervous and had an illusion, or maybe Shao Ting's hand was also shaken by the loud noise
In short, the sound just now was just a loud firecracker, and everything else was normal and unchanged.
"Xiaoshi, let's eat glutinous rice balls!" Tao Yuru's voice came from downstairs.
Xiaoshi hurriedly recovered, responded, loosened the man's skirt with his fingers, and slowly sat up from his side. Finally, with some reluctance, he wanted to take the hand on his chest away.
Her movements were very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing something, but as soon as she exerted a little force, she felt an extremely weak resistance.
Xiaoshi's heart stopped, his arms froze suddenly, and he didn't dare to move. Holding her breath, she leaned over to look intently, only to see the man's slender index finger curled slightly, hooking on her little finger.
She squeezed her eyes hard, as if she couldn't believe what she saw, until she confirmed that she was not mistaken or hallucinating, and then tried to lift the hooked little finger with the lightest force.
The man's flexed index finger was suspended along with the entire palm, about a centimeter away from the chest, before it finally slipped off and fell down again.
However, Xiaoshi was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. Shao Ting, are you reluctant to leave her?
Amidst her yelling, after a while, the whole family squeezed into Zhou Shaoting's bedroom, staring at the person lying on the bed.
All the lights in the bedroom were turned on, and in the bright light, one could see subtle movements of the man's eyeballs under the closed eyelids.
A circle of people around the bed, you look at me, I look at you, holding hands with each other, smiling with tears.
On the second day, although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Ping couldn't wait to call Zhou Shaoting's personal doctor.
The doctor didn't complain, he gave Zhou Shaoting a detailed examination responsibly, and finally gave a more positive expression: "Judging from Mr. Zhou's current situation, he has indeed made substantial progress compared to before. His pupils have already improved. With a sharper light sensitivity, the reflex of the nerve endings is also recovering. I can¡¯t make any assumptions or guarantees for you, but objectively speaking, his progress is gratifying., is also worth looking forward to. "
His statement like this has never been done before, and it is tantamount to presenting the best New Year gift to the Zhou family!
"However," the doctor thought for a while and said, "I still hope that you can be mentally prepared. Even if Mr. Zhou can recover, the process must be long. It must be done step by step. There is no rush. He has been bedridden for more than a year. If the ligaments and joints are not used for a long time, the functions will inevitably degenerate. If his mobility can be restored, the initial process may be a bit painful for the patient himself. You must not be impatient, you must take it slowly "
Since then, Xiaoshi has never left Zhou Shaoting's side, giving him massages, talking with him, and training his reflexes to external stimuli.
Years later, Xiaoshi first took a month off to take care of Zhou Shaoting wholeheartedly at home.
One morning at the end of February, the sky finally cleared up after a week of continuous cloudiness. Xiaoshi opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains and took a deep breath into the orange-red morning sun, feeling full of vitality from the inside out.
She stood in the soft morning light, wearing loose home clothes, her waist-length hair was casually tied into a ball, and loosely placed on her head. The pale golden morning light outlined her slender and pretty silhouette, which was printed obliquely on the bed and fell on Zhou Shaoting's chest, just like the nineteen-year-old girl back then.
She stood at the window, looking at the clouds leaking from the buildings in the distance. She didn't know that at this time, she was like a person standing outside of time, traveling through many memories, awakening another person's sleeping dream.
Xiao Shi stood for a while, then turned around, and suddenly saw that the person on the bed seemed to be squinting, facing her, and the bright light behind her.
Xiao Shi rushed to the bed, tripped over the carpet, and fell directly on the head of the bed, ignoring the pain, leaning over and staring at Zhou Shaoting's eyes without blinking. She saw that pair of long eyelashes opened slightly, and indeed opened a crack. Although she couldn't fully open them, she finally saw that pair of dark and deep pupils again.
Xiaoshi waved her hand in front of his eyes, and the pair of pupils moved slowly and with difficulty, and then landed on her face without moving.
However, Xiaoshi knew, he saw it. Because she recognized that kind of gaze, which was focused, profound, and persevering, which made her miss it very much, but she didn't dare to ask for it.
In mid-March, Zhou Shaoting was already able to make some vague sounds, combined with slow mouth shapes, his family could basically understand them, and they could have simple communication with him.
Xiaoshi's heart is full of gratitude, and she can't wait to kneel down and thank heaven and earth. Everyone in the Zhou family was beaming, everyone had a smile on their face, and every day was full of hope.
Everyone is already very content, just waiting to move forward step by step, only the one on the bed is always very impatient.
Zhou Shaoting's neck can already be turned slowly, but his body and limbs are still very stiff, and there is basically no response. Xiao Shi often saw him practicing moving his fingers and trying to raise his arms. It was very difficult, and he seemed to be in pain. His head was sweating profusely and his face was flushed.
Once Xiaoshi went to change the water for him to wipe his body, and when he came back, he saw him practicing raising his arms again. I don¡¯t know how long he had been doing it silently. The tip of his nose was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the veins on his forehead were protruding.
Xiaoshi's heart ached terribly all of a sudden, and two strings of tears rolled out of his eyes. For such a long time, she has endured so many hardships alone, and rarely shed a single tear. However, seeing Zhou Shaoting's efforts and helplessness at this time, she couldn't bear it at all, and couldn't be strong at all.
She put down the water basin and knelt down in front of the bed, took Zhou Shaoting's hand and put it to her lips and kissed it, wiped away her tears with the back of his hand, put his hand back on her chest, covered it with the quilt, a little reproachfully Said: "Didn't I tell you, don't worry! We have plenty of time, you can take your time. If you work too hard, take a good rest."
She watched Zhou Shaoting's eyes turn slowly, and made a relieved smile, "Although, I also hope that you can get better, and I am willing to exchange everything including my life"
When the man lying on the bed heard this, his eyebrows twitched slightly, but he couldn't stop it. Xiaoshi continued, earnestly and sincerely, "But, I really don't force it! I'm already content with you like this. In the future, I can accept whatever degree you can recover, and I will stay with you well."
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Shaoting's hand was lifted up from the corner of the corner of the eye, as if in slow motion, and it was attached to her cheek bit by bit.
Xiao Shi looked at the man on the bed in disbelief, only to see his thin lips parted slightly, she hurriedly attached her ears, holding her breath to listen. Accompanied by her heavy breathing, she heard the three words that were squeezed out between her lips and teeth clearly:
"for you¡ª¡ª"
Zhou Shaoting's recovery process is like a newborn baby. From vocalization to limb movement, he can gradually turn over and sit against the head of the bed for a while. His articulation became more and more clear, and Xiao Shi heard that deep and pleasant voice again. But his complicated brain seemed to be awake all the time, without needing to recover, it was as flexible as before, and he could make Xiaoshi laugh and cry even before he could speak clearly.
Relying on his strong belief and good physical foundation, Zhou Shaoting recovered so quickly that even the doctors were shocked and claimed it was a "miracle".
