"I sang to her: 'Little swallow, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring. I wonder why you come here, because you say the spring here is the most beautiful.' I sang this song over and over again, and because I was really scared, my voice was trembling. Later, Qi Siyu sang along with me, and we kept singing the same song over and over again."
"Little swallow, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring. I ask you why you come here, and you say that the spring here is the most beautiful..."
Ye Zhan sang the song with a slight tremor, and his voice was full of tension and anxiety, as if he was really back in the bed of that hotel, holding Qi Siyu in his arms and singing with her. This beautiful nursery rhyme sung by Ye Zhan at this moment, for some reason, carried a hint of eerie and terrifying atmosphere, which made my back cold. I can even imagine that in that hot hotel, the fan was creaking, the monotonous anchor news came from the TV, and the trembling singing of Ye Zhan and Qi Siyu echoed in this room. Ye Zhan sang over and over again, and his voice became more and more terrifying and hollow. I looked at Liu Yanfu, his Adam's apple moved, and he was obviously frightened by Ye Zhan's voice.
"Ye Zhan?" I finally couldn't help it: "Continue the rest of the story." I found my voice shaking, as if I was afraid of something. But Ye Zhan seemed not to hear, and continued to sing dryly: "Little Swallow, wearing flowery clothes, comes here every spring. I wonder why you come here, Swallow said the spring here is the most beautiful..."
I looked at Liu Yanfu for help, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Doctor Liu?" I called softly. Doctor Liu woke up as if from a dream, and quickly took the small clock, and was about to press the button that would make a "beep" sound. As long as the "beep" sound sounded, Ye Zhan would definitely wake up, and this story could not be told anymore. Liu Yanfu stared at Ye Zhan closely, his expression was very serious, and slowly said: "Wang Hao, find a way to pull Ye Zhan back to the beach."
I hurriedly said, "Ye Zhan, do you think the sea water is blue?" Ye Zhan turned a deaf ear and continued to sing dryly: "Little Swallow, wearing flowery clothes..." I said again, "Ye Zhan, do you think the sand is soft?" Ye Zhan turned a deaf ear and continued to sing hollowly: "Little Swallow, wearing flowery clothes..." Liu Yanfu said, "No, wake him up, otherwise he will sink deeper and deeper." I was anxious and shouted, "Ye Zhan, I want to eat coconuts!" Ye Zhan was stunned for a moment and stopped singing: "Oh, I'll pick some for you."
Liu Yanfu breathed a sigh of relief and put the clock down. After a while, Ye Zhan said, "Here, you eat it." I made a "slurp slurp" sound, and was thinking about what to do next. Ye Zhan said again, "Mouse, the juice has been drunk, it's time to eat the flesh inside." I said "oh" and made a chewing sound again, thinking that this gentleman is really hard to please.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zhan said, "Haozi, do you want to continue listening?" I quickly said, "Yes, yes."
"Yeah." Ye Zhan responded and continued, "During those three days, we spent most of our time lying in bed watching TV. Although the sheets were extremely dirty, it didn't seem to be a big deal after we got used to it. When it was time to eat, I went to the restaurant outside to buy food, and the two of us wolfed it down from the disposable lunch boxes. We didn't wash ourselves after waking up in the morning, and we didn't dare to use the washbasin in the hotel. The two of us lived like this, with unkempt hair and dirty faces, hour after hour..."
"Qi Siyu was also a little crazy. Sometimes she would ask me what our child's name was and how Ye Xiaozhan was doing. While lying on the bed, she would suddenly say, 'Will Ye Xiaozhan be sad if he knows we don't want him?' I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat. Qi Siyu became unhinged and began to touch her belly and talk to herself, mumbling and I didn't know what she was saying. Once I deliberately got closer to listen, and I heard her say, 'Dear Xiaozhan, it's not that mom doesn't want you, it's that you came at the wrong time. If you want revenge, go find your dad...' Then she made a horrible 'chuckle' laugh, which almost scared me to death. That was the first time I felt the pain of living a year. Every minute and every second was like being tortured in a frying pan. My spirit was like a taut string that seemed to break at any time."
"Because the room was as hot as a steamer, the electric fan was turned on 24 hours a day, and the 'squeak' sound was always echoing in the room. I was so impressed by this sound that even long after, this sound would suddenly flash into my mind without any warning, like a sharp boning knife cutting randomly in my brain."
"Qi Siyu kept talking nonsense, saying that after we abort this child, should we have a second child? If we did, what name should we give it? She also said that if we didn't abort this child, we would be parents when we were in the third year of junior high school, and the child would go to kindergarten when we were about to graduate from high school, and would go to elementary school when we went to college. She kept talking about the child getting married and so on. In the end, she even hugged me and asked, Ye Zhan, will you not want me? If you dare to want me, I will slit my wrists and commit suicide, and seek revenge on you with the child, so that you will never have peace! I was tortured by Qi Siyu's crazy talk and felt extremely painful. I wanted to run away many times, but I finally endured it."
When I heard the words "rushed out of the door", I was shocked. Could it be that Ye Zhan couldn't stand Qi Siyu's nonsense, so what happened later happened? Ye Zhan continued, "At that time, I felt that Qi Siyu was a little abnormal, and I was almost abnormal because of her torture. Two abnormal people lived a life almost isolated from the world in a suburban hotel. Every day, I saw and touched the same things, a squeaking fan, a TV with a single tone, dirty sheets that were so dirty that the original color could not be seen, and a toilet placed in the middle of the floor. I felt that I was about to die. If I stayed any longer, I would definitely die."
