Chapter 4 Do you believe in the end of the world?
Mu Ci didn't wake up, and Shi Jiaojiao hoped that he would wake up every day. She had reminded the gods in heaven of him countless times, but when he really woke up, he didn't know how to start.
I have been in a coma for more than two years, and the apocalypse has lasted for four years. In total, I haven’t spoken to Mu Ci for six or seven years.
The two lives brought not only the passage of time, but also a sense of strangeness. Mu Ci did not change, but she herself changed.
She and the nurse lifted the wheelchair into the car, sat in the driver's seat, pursed her lips tightly, her heart was up and down, and at this moment she suddenly doubted.
Am I really reborn?
Or was it the obsession before death that gave her a beautiful dream?
Mu Ci's heart began to achieving from the first moment he saw Shi Jiaojiao. He already knew that he had been in a coma for more than two years.
But what happened in the past two years to turn the delicate and soft girl into this? Did something happen? Jiaojiao didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.
He could see that Jiaojiao was now very tense, like a string that could break at any time, so he didn't dare to ask, let alone touch her tentatively.
He wanted Jiaojiao to take her time to accept the reality that he had woken up.
He will slowly let Jiaojiao understand that he will always be there for her no matter what happens in the future, and he will never abandon her again.
Shi Jiaojiao drove very fast. Although her mind was in a mess, she was still careful and did not go to the hospital where Mu Ci was hospitalized before.
She had seen the state of the vegetative patient in the ward next to hers when he woke up. It was obvious that something was wrong with Mu Ci now. She was afraid that the doctor would see his recovery speed and perform a biopsy on him directly, and the nurse could no longer stay.
All the way from getting off the car to the hospital, Jiaojiao felt like she was walking on cotton.
I paid for the machinery and waited for inspection, fearing it would all be in vain.
Until the doctor called her into the office.
"You are the patient's family member, right? The test results are out, and all tests are normal."
"Is everything normal? Have all the examinations been done?" Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a second, then asked anxiously.
The doctor pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. He didn't understand why the family members reacted so strangely to a routine full-body check-up.
But seeing the little girl in front of him with a pale face, red eyes, and dead skin all over her mouth due to lack of water, he walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water, put it in the little girl's hand, and spoke in a gentler tone as he comforted her.
"Yes, don't worry, all the tests have been done, and the patient is doing well, except for being a little weak. This is not a big problem, and he can slowly make up for it."
Shi Jiaojiao wanted to smile, but before she could even smile, tears started to fall. She quickly wiped them with the back of her hand and said, "Thank you. I'm sorry to bother you with the checkup today. Thank you."
He stood up again and bowed to the doctor several times.
The doctor was startled by these bows, and before he could help the little girl, she had already opened the door and gone out.
Anyway, being healthy is a good thing. The doctor took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. He hadn't had time to eat the whole day, so he took out a bag of soda crackers from the drawer to fill his stomach while he was not busy.
The weather has been abnormal during this period. Although the temperature is not particularly high, the ultraviolet rays are unexpectedly strong. Many people are hospitalized every day. Those with mild symptoms can recover with intravenous drip. Some elderly people who already have many underlying diseases do not come to the hospital for heatstroke, but endure it at home. They only come to the hospital when they can't bear it anymore, but by that time it is too late to save them.
Medical staff are so busy every day that they don’t even have time to drink water.
Shi Jiaojiao pushed open the door of the ward and met Mu Ci's eyes.
It was really different now. Mu Ci in the ward could open his eyes, smile, and talk. He was no longer the patient lying unconscious on the cold bed.
In the short steps from the door to the bed, she felt as if there were eight hundred wild deer in her heart, jumping around and ready to jump out of her throat at any time.
"What? You don't recognize me?" Mu Ci teased deliberately.
From the moment Mu Ci opened his mouth to say the first sentence, Shi Jiaojiao could no longer hold back her tears. Her tears did not just fall one by one, but flowed in strings. She took two steps at a time and lay down beside Mu Ci's bed, crying.
From sobbing softly at the beginning to crying loudly.
She cried for the four years she spent in the apocalypse, how helpless and painful she felt when she couldn't find him, and she also cried for not protecting Mu Ci in her previous life, leaving him alone in the hospital.
Fortunately, in this life, everything has been reshuffled. This time, she will not let anyone hurt Mu Ci again!
Although Shi Jiaojiao didn't know what allowed her to be reborn, she was now sincerely grateful to the other party!
Mu Ci felt a slight pain in his chest when he saw Jiaojiao crying, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she cried. No one knew how scared he was when he saw Jiaojiao for the first time. She was like a frightened bird at that time, and the slightest stimulation from the outside world would make her collapse.
Now, no matter whether the emotions are good or bad, it is a good thing to cry them all out at once.
I don’t know how long I cried. Shi Jiaojiao raised her head, took two pieces of tissue and blew her nose. When she saw the quilt covered with her tears and snot, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother." Her voice was very soft and nasal, as if the person in front of her would disappear if she was not careful.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? I've seen all kinds of you. By the way, please help me get discharged from the hospital." Mu Ci said.
Shi Jiaojiao was a little hesitant, "How about staying for a few more days?"
Mu Ci comforted him, "I know my body. I haven't felt any discomfort since I woke up, and everything was normal after the examination. I won't take up resources here."
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't persuade him, but was still worried, so she went to ask the doctor. After being told that he didn't need to be hospitalized, she felt relieved and took Mu Ci out of the hospital.
When they arrived at the community, the nurse helped her move the wheelchair out of the car and pushed it back upstairs.
Shi Jiaojiao took the opportunity to suggest to the nurse that she wanted to take Mu Ci abroad for examination and that the nurse would not be needed for the time being. She also gave him an extra month's salary and reminded him that the weather was not right and asked him to buy some more food and drinks to leave at home.
After the nurse left, the light and nourishing medicated food ordered for him according to the doctor's instructions also arrived.
When Jiaojiao was packing up the lunch boxes after the two of them finished dinner, she heard Mu Ci's voice: "What is this?"
She turned her head and saw that Mu Ci was holding the shopping list she had placed on the coffee table.
"Are you going to open a supermarket?" Mu Ci showed a rare trace of confusion.
Shi Jiaojiao moved a chair and sat opposite Mu Ci, wondering how to tell him about the future.
Her biggest secret is space.
To her, Mu Ci is her only relative in this world.
And in the near end of the world, she will definitely use the space frequently.
This must be said, and it is also the guarantee for their survival in the doomsday.
As for rebirth, forget it.
Regardless of whether he believes it or not, just hearing the word "rebirth" you know that to be reborn, you must die first before you can be reborn.
It’s fine for you to just remember those painful memories by yourself, why bother dragging Mu Ci into it?
Shi Jiaojiao cleared her throat and said, "Brother, do you believe in the end of the world?"
