Chapter 159 Lioness
There is no wind today.
It was a little after eleven in the morning. The sky was clear blue, birds were chirping on the pine branches, and the warm sunlight fell on my face.
There are still several hours before Xu Jiqing and the others finish.
He Miao made an appointment with her last night to come over as soon as the interview was over, to stroll around Tsinghua University, take some photos, and also experience the cafeteria with the highest average IQ.
He said he was on the subway half an hour ago. Judging by the time, he should be here soon.
There are so many bubbles of happiness in my chest ready to burst out, and I can't wait to share them with others.
Su Xia strolled to the nearest school gate and sent a message urging, "Where is our beloved?"
He Miao replied immediately, [Across from you!]
She looked up.
Across a traffic light, the short-haired girl was standing at the end of the sidewalk as expected, the pom-pom on her woolen hat bouncing around as she waved at her vigorously.
Su Xia smiled in surprise.
She also stretched out her hand and raised it high, hoping to respond as enthusiastically as the other person.
As a result, I just shook for a moment, and suddenly I felt like vomiting and my ears buzzed.
Very sudden.
Or maybe she had been too excited these past few days, which was why she felt it was normal for her heart rate to be high all the time, and the occasional breathlessness was just due to nervousness.
That tinnitus was just the beginning.
The adrenaline gradually faded as the exam ended.
Just when she was waiting for He Miao to cross the road, Su Xia clearly felt that she was like a robot that had lost power. Her limbs began to weaken little by little, and even her vision dimmed.
Traffic light countdown lasts five seconds.
He Miao stood across the street and watched her stretch out her arm, then inexplicably put it down and bend down, holding onto the lamppost.
Finally, amid the screams of passers-by, he suddenly fell to the ground with the heavy cello case on his body.
At the same moment, the red light turned green.
He Miao hurriedly glanced in the direction of the oncoming car and ran desperately in the opposite direction. He was still in the middle of the road, so anxious that he shouted to the passers-by who were still watching, "Call 120!"
"Call 120 quickly!"
-
At half past eleven, Su Xiaojuan received a call from the hospital.
Before three o'clock, she had already rushed to the emergency room and ran into Su Xia's ward.
History of fire exposure, strenuous activities in a smoky environment, delayed carbon monoxide poisoning, coma...
Every word spoke of her daughter.
But hasn’t her daughter always been well behaved in Beijing? She says good morning and good night to her every day, saying that mom is the best.
What do these words have to do with her Xia Xia?
Blue curtains, bright white light.
Su Xia still looked a little weak, but she was awake.
There was an oxygen mask on her pale little face. I saw her blinking slowly, her hands clenching the snow-white sheets, and she shouted "Mom".
Su Xiaojuan had so many words in her mind, but they were all blocked by this call. Her eyes suddenly turned red, "...Mom is here."
"Are you still dizzy? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Su Xia shook her head slightly.
Su Xiaojuan sat at the head of her bed, her mind in a turmoil. She turned her head and quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
The woman's hair was disheveled, her nose and forehead were covered with sweat, and the front of her expensive coat was loose. In all the years since she became rich, Su Xia had never seen her look so miserable.
She felt like a hand was squeezing her heart, and her voice was muffled by the oxygen tube. "Mom, I did very well on the test. I didn't lie to you."
Su Xiaojuan didn't say anything.
Su Xia tried to speak again, "I'll go and..."
"Let's not talk about that for now."
Su Xiaojuan adjusted the mask that she had rubbed crookedly back to its original position and touched her cheek. "Be good, the doctor said you need to rest. There's no rush to say anything. Just lie down and rest first."
In order to maximize the capacity, the emergency ward is very large, with beds separated only by curtains. The beeping sounds of various monitoring instruments are heard one after another, mixed with the noisy voices of people.
As soon as she came in, the people who were originally surrounding Su Xia left first.
Su Xiaojuan sat with her for a long time, put the hand that was holding the IV drip back under the quilt, and covered the IV tube with the palm of her hand.
Occasionally he would say a few words, but they were just simple questions that required her to nod or shake her head.
Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water?
Does it hurt here or there? Is your neck uncomfortable? Do you need to raise it higher?
It was as if the big lie she told to go to Ancheng had never happened.
Half an hour later, seeing that Su Xia had fallen asleep and her blood oxygen and breathing were normal, Su Xiaojuan tidied her hair, got up and walked out the door.
People were coming and going in the corridor, and the three people who accompanied Su Xia never left.
The short-haired girl who brought her here, Su Xiaojuan, was more familiar, her name was He Miao. Sitting next to her on the plastic chair was a boy who looked unfamiliar, probably a competition student from No. 1 Middle School taking the exam.
The one who stood straight by the door, never taking her eyes off her daughter's bed...
Su Xiaojuan didn't even want to look at it.
Seeing her come out, He Miao immediately stood up awkwardly.
She lowered her head and twisted her hands, then said with a guilty conscience, "Auntie, I'm sorry."
Should I have helped Su Xia hide it from her, or should I have accompanied her in making the perjury phone call after the collusion?
No one can predict the future, and she will not betray her friend at that point.
He Miao couldn't say it.
"It wasn't your idea, I don't blame you." Su Xiaojuan said.
"You sent Xia Xia to the hospital immediately. Auntie is very grateful to you."
Her eyes swept across Lin Lang, who was obviously at a loss beside the girl, and with intense pain and resentment, she looked at Xu Jiqing who was standing beside her.
"You, come here."
