Zhou San and I stared at each other for a moment, and then he said, "Brother, don't you want to know what my fourth brother said?"
"Given your personality of being unable to hide anything, you would have told me even without me asking."
"Are you upset that I was too talkative and told my fourth brother about your situation?"
"I know what kind of person she is. Since she decided to leave, she must have made a huge decision... Why make her struggle with this?"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou San replied in a low voice, "She wasn't conflicted... She said that loving someone without boundaries would make you lose yourself... She's going to travel, learn yoga, learn baking, learn to be an independent and self-reliant woman... She's willing to do anything... She just doesn't want to waste her time on you anymore... She doesn't love you anymore."
I was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "It's fine... but is it appropriate for you to come here and tell me this?... Didn't you see my leg is broken?!"
"Are you trying to tell me that you're feeling terrible... worse than if you had a broken leg?"
"I'm not in pain. Go find a hammer and break my other leg too... I want to stay unconscious for a while longer."
"I can't bring myself to do it!"
"Is your head made of straight wood? Can't you try to think about what other people are saying? ... If you're not going to leave, then knock me out... If you can't bring yourself to do it, then get out of here... I don't want to see you."
"Brother, why are you talking to me like that... I'm just telling the truth. Have you seen me lie about anything I said?"
Wednesday's serious demeanor made my blood boil. I didn't know how to communicate with him, and after a long while, I cursed, "Get out...get out now."
"Okay, I'll get out... So, should I keep the food I brought you?"
"You're getting angry now?... If you don't want to give me any, then take it away... I don't want it!"
Zhou San glanced at me on Wednesday, then ignored me. He first took the tray away, then left with the lunchbox...
I was completely stunned... I'm a genuine patient, and he actually dares to withhold food from me!
Is there anyone in the world with lower emotional intelligence than this guy?
...
Lying in bed, I pondered for a while, and then I understood Zhou San. He wasn't really lacking in emotional intelligence... He hated me for letting down his fourth brother and for breaking his fourth brother's heart... Now that his fourth brother has given up on me, he must think that I brought this on myself and don't deserve sympathy, so his words were full of barbs, stabbing me from all sides.
In his eyes, Yang Sisi was definitely better than me... because when he jumped off the building, it was Yang Sisi who persuaded him to come down; it was also Yang Sisi who paid off that high-interest loan... Yang Sisi's kindness to him was like a second life... so he was willing to stab me a few times to speak up for Yang Sisi.
I don't need to be angry with him; I should be angry with myself... I shouldn't have been hurt by what Zhou San said.
Emotions... Since I chose to treat Yang Sisi this way, I should be mentally prepared and wait for this day.
...
After getting the address from the nurse on duty, I ordered takeout for myself and asked the delivery guy to bring me a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. I know smoking is bad, but I also know this night won't be easy to get through, so I always need to have something to keep me entertained.
A little while later, I only ate some food and didn't dare drink much water... because going to the toilet was really inconvenient.
That's what you call serving yourself right. Who told me to offend all the people around me who genuinely cared about me...
Finally, the nurse took pity on me and gave me a urinal, saying that if no one was in the ward, I should just use the urinal myself, and that jumping around like this could easily aggravate my wound.
...
At night, I not only felt unwell, but my legs also hurt terribly, so I tossed and turned until late into the night before finally falling asleep... When I woke up the next day, it was already past nine o'clock. I was woken up by the urge to urinate... So the first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to look for the urinal.
After urinating, I realized the urinal was very light, clearly having been emptied. I couldn't help but sigh: although the environment here isn't great, the nurses are truly dedicated.
I feel quite sad about this. I, Michael, am sincere to everyone, but in the end, the one who doesn't look down on me is a nurse I just met.
...
I lay in bed waiting for a while, but no one brought me breakfast. Just as I was thinking about whether I should try to persuade Zhou San to bring me some porridge, the door was suddenly pushed open...
I straightened up and looked around, feeling a little disappointed; because the person who came was the older sister in charge of finances at the company.
She first offered a few words of comfort, then took 10,000 yuan from her bag and placed it on my bedside table, saying it was for my medical expenses from the company.
Then she left.
...
I stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before someone else came in... I looked up and saw that it was a nurse who came in, holding an IV drip in her hand... Besides her, there was another person dragging a suitcase who also came in.
I took a closer look and realized it was Lu Jia.
If you count the time, it's been more than a year since we last met... Logically, I should have a lot to say, but when we were face to face, I couldn't utter a single word.
She placed the suitcase in the corner and then asked me, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is it because my sudden return is making you uncomfortable?"
"You should have told me beforehand."
"Even if it was earlier than planned, I could still expect you to pick me up from the airport... How could a perfectly healthy person be hit and ended up like this? You're not usually a careless person!"
