Chapter 409 Brother, Let’s Go to My Sister’s Alma Mater
Yi Jingrong told her the second patient on the day he woke up, and he would occasionally send her messages regarding some recovery issues afterwards, and this time should be similar.
Gu Nan replied: "Add"
Then I went to the bathroom, holding on to the wall, and wrung out a towel to wipe my face.
When she came back, there was a new friend in her address book.
Gu Nan clicked to agree.
The other party's nickname was a period. When Gu Nan was thinking about leaving him a note, a message came from the other side.
: "Hello, sister, I am Lin Qin"
Gu Nan changed the note to Lin Qin and replied: "Hello, I'm Gu Nan, what can I do for you?"
Lin Qin: "Kitten Peeks Out.jpg"
Lin Qin: "Sorry to bother you, sister. I have some questions about recovery that I would like to ask you."
Gu Nan picked up his phone, sat down at the desk, and slid the mouse twice. With two "buzzes", the dormant computer quickly lit up.
She logged into WeChat on her computer while waiting for his next words.
Lin Qin: "My brother has been very depressed since he woke up. The psychologists at the research center tried psychological intervention, but he was very resistant."
Lin Qin: "Sister, do you have any ideas?"
Gu Nan's gaze paused on "brother". She only found out today that the comatose patient was the boy's brother.
The last name is Lin, and they are brothers. What a subtle and magical coincidence.
Gu Nan: "Take him for walks more often, and let him see more close family and friends. He will get better slowly."
The status bar showed "The other party is typing", but no message was sent after typing for a long time. Gu Nan waited for a while, thinking it was a short essay, but it turned out to be only one sentence.
Lin Qin: "I have no other relatives, and I've lost contact with my old friends. Is there anything else I can do besides taking a walk?"
Gu Nan was silent for a second. No wonder Lin Qin, a minor, had to follow Yi Jingrong last time. There were no elders in the family, and no one except him could stand up for them.
Gu Nan: "Let him have more contact with familiar things and try to create a familiar environment for him."
After thinking about it, this seemed a bit vague, so Gu Nan continued: "He needs to re-establish his sense of the world. You can try to do creative crafts with him. If his recovery allows, leave the research center as soon as possible. It's too stuffy in there. Go outside."
This time Lin Qin replied quickly: "Okay, thank you sister."
Lin Qin: "Kitten Bowing.jpg"
Gu Nan replied, "You're welcome," and told him to come to her if he had any questions. She exited the chat, picked up the unfinished order, and continued typing.
"Brother, do you have anything to say?" Lin Qin leaned against the bed, holding up his cell phone to show the person half lying on the bed.
The dim light from the phone screen faintly flickered on a withered face, and the dull eyes moved around, and it took a long time before they focused on the few lines of text.
He looked at it slowly again and again, as if he wanted to see Gu Nan's past and present through the words on the screen.
He had been looking at it for too long, and Lin Qin's hands felt a little sore. He stretched his wrists and accidentally touched Gu Nan's avatar, so he simply clicked on Gu Nan's circle of friends.
The most recent update was posted in April two years ago.
"I fought a fierce battle with mosquitoes all night last night. They didn't eat enough, and I didn't sleep well. I'm sleepy. I'm sleepy."
She posted a picture of a mosquito lying on the wall.
The mosquito has black and white stripes, so she marked it as: zebra mosquito.
It's a very lifelike post, but because of her rhyming text and nonsensical comments, it looks like a joke.
This is indeed the kind of update that Gu Nan would post. She always has a magical power that can transform all emotions into nutrients for life.
Lin Qin slid down slowly, and Gu Nan's college life slowly unfolded before his eyes.
She took a late-night bus to participate in the competition, stayed alone in the laboratory to work on the module because of the slow progress, went to the cafeteria to eat at the last minute and met a very generous cafeteria aunt... She rarely updated her status, only about ten times in four years of college, but this was enough to show how fulfilling her college life was.
She has received higher education, has excellent academic performance, has clear plans for life and work, and has strong ambition and execution ability.
If it weren't for the sudden misfortune, he might have turned into a dragon and soared into the sky.
Lin Qin scrolled through the earliest post, which was posted by Gu Nan six years ago. The text only had two words: "Report", and it was accompanied by a photo of people queuing to get water cards. In the upper right corner of the photo, there was a banner with white letters on a red background hanging on the tree.
The banner was blown by the wind. Lin Qin looked at it for a long time before he could vaguely make out what was written on it: Lian'an University welcomes you!
Lian'an University is a famous double-first-class university in Ontario. In recent years, the lowest admission score for science majors has reached 590.
Lin Qin couldn't help but show a look of admiration, "Sister is really amazing, I wish I could get into this school too."
He is not from Ontario, so if he applied to Lian'an University, the admission score would be lower.
Lin Qin completely collapsed onto the hospital bed, his head resting on his brother's shoulder. He asked tentatively, "Brother, do you think it's a good idea for me to apply to this school?"
The shoulders beneath his head were as thin as a stick of firewood. Lin Qin didn't dare touch them forcefully, but only gently, as if he were handling something fragile. After a long moment, he heard a barely audible response: "Okay."
He smiled with his eyes curved, and firmly grasped the thin hand resting on the quilt. "I will do my best, and I have to work hard too. Then we can go visit my sister's alma mater together."
This time the response was a little quicker, "Okay."
Lin Qin's eyes welled up, and he asked again, as if seeking confirmation: "Then it's a deal. We'll go to Lian'an University together next September."
The hand he held moved, as if to shake his hand back, but in reality, only two fingers stroked his palm.
Lin Qin almost cried for joy.
This was the first time in more than a month since my brother woke up that he responded so actively and continuously.
His recovery progress was far behind Gu Nan's. He spent most of his time in a coma after waking up. It took him a month to speak clearly, and he still can't do 90° upright training.
Lin Qin knew that this was normal. His brother had been in a coma for five years, so his recovery would definitely be slower. He had enough patience to help his brother stand up again.
But although it is easy to recover physically, it is difficult mentally. When he arrived at the research center today, the rehabilitation doctor pulled him aside and told him that the patient was slow to react, slow to think, and had a poor perception of emotions and the environment. He was suspected of having suffered psychological trauma and needed intervention as soon as possible.
Researchers and doctors at the research center forcibly awakened the brother's body, but failed to awaken his desire to survive.
The pain experienced in the other world continued into the body after waking up.
Fortunately, Lin Qin knew who could help his brother.
Fortunately, Gu Nan was willing to offer help to a stranger.
"That's great." Lin Qin said in a muffled voice.
Gu Nan was able to walk independently with the help of a walker at four months old, but his brother might need half a year or even a year.
This time will be difficult, but it will eventually come to an end.
