Chapter 61
Xiao Yuncheng put the necklace on Wu Tong, then wiped his hair and said, "You can hang this on a necklace or wear it on your hand. But the size I measured for you seems a little loose now, doesn't it? You can put it on the necklace."
Wu Tong picked up the ring and looked at it against the light. After studying it for a long time, he placed it on his chest and said to Xiao Yuncheng with a smile, "I like this design."
Xiao Yuncheng looked into Wu Tong's clear eyes and also smiled.
You wear it around your neck and keep it in your heart; I wear it on my ring finger and keep it for my whole life.
After drying his hair, Wu Tong became soft. He clung to Xiao Yuncheng's arms and refused to come out. Xiao Yuncheng also deliberately indulged him. After a while of silence, Xiao Yuncheng felt that Wu Tong seemed to be crying because he felt his collar was wet.
"Baby, are you crying?"
Wu Tong muttered, "No... Yeah, yes, I cried. It's all your fault."
Xiao Yuncheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he coaxed her gently, "Yeah, it's my fault."
Wu Tong fell asleep in his arms, sleeping very soundly. Xiao Yuncheng put him on the bed and lay gently beside him. No matter what, Wu Tong's appearance had not changed much from before. Xiao Yuncheng thought of the lively Wu Tong in the past, but he had to admit that he still loved Wu Tong now.
This feeling has never changed from the beginning to the end.
Xiao Yuncheng turned on the night light, and the warm yellow light shone on Wu Tong's back. Xiao Yuncheng looked for a long time and got off the bed.
Xiao Yuncheng walked to the living room. It was very quiet. Moonlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Xiao Yuncheng looked at the moon outside the window. It was bright and clear. A beam of light hit a painting hanging on the wall of the living room. It was a painting of them by Wu Tong. The painting showed the time when Xiao Yuncheng took Wu Tong to see the sea. Wu Tong took his hand and took him to the beach. She looked back and smiled, unrestrained and flamboyant.
Because the painting is now in darkness, the colors are not as vivid, but it is coated with a layer of brightness, making the figures in it shimmer and as clear as the reflection on the water.
Wu Tong has trouble getting up now. The time it takes to wake him up is enough to make breakfast. Xiao Yuncheng put his hands on his hips, looked down at the quilt on the bed, and said in a serious tone: "Tongtong, if you don't get up now, breakfast will get cold."
Wu Tong hummed and moved, then poked his head out from under the quilt. Xiao Yuncheng found it a little funny. He leaned over and picked up Wu Tong, letting him get out of bed, saying, "We have to go out to see the cats with Shi Qian and the others today."
Xiao Yuncheng said many times that Wu Tong looked like a kitten, but Wu Tong didn't quite agree, so Xiao Yuncheng decided to bring a cat back to make Wu Tong face his true self.
"······" Wu Tong helplessly picked up his coat and put it on, then went downstairs with Xiao Yuncheng. The breakfast was indeed cold, so Xiao Yuncheng heated it up again. Wu Tong sat cross-legged on the carpet in the living room in a daze, until a bowl of lean meat porridge "fell from the sky" and brought his attention back.
Xiao Yuncheng put the soup spoon into his bowl and turned on the TV for him. The two of them ate breakfast and watched TV, chatting and laughing. Then, Shi Qian's angry roar came from the phone: "You are both half an hour late!"
"Right away, right at the door." Xiao Yuncheng gritted his teeth and returned the phone to Wu Tong. Wu Tong said to Shi Qian with a smile, "We're ready to come in. Where are you?"
"At the entrance of the cattery... Hey, I saw your car."
Wu Tong looked up and saw Shi Qian waving at the door of the cattery and Lin Chen standing behind him with a smile.
There were many kinds of kittens in the cattery, and each one was very enthusiastic. When Wu Tong held out his hand, they would meow and come to Wu Tong's palm, rubbing Wu Tong's hand with their furry heads. Shi Qian came over and said in surprise, "Tongtong, you are so popular with the kittens?"
Wu Tong smiled at Shi Qian, and Xiao Yuncheng said, "I told him he's also a cat, but he still doesn't believe it."
“······” Wu Tong raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yuncheng.
In the end, they chose for a long time in the cattery. Shi Qian and Lin Chen asked for a Ragdoll cat, while Wu Tong and Xiao Yuncheng took the Angora cat.
The Angora cat has snow-white fur, and its long hair is silky and smooth. After stroking the cat for a while, Wu Tong felt that this kitten's fur was the most comfortable. The reason why Xiao Yuncheng chose this cat was very simple: it looked like Wu Tong.
"You have to find a cat that looks like me." Wu Tong didn't understand his reason, but she also respected him. Xiao Yuncheng looked at the man and the cat and smiled gently.
Wu Tong picked up the kitten and looked at Xiao Yuncheng: "Shall we give it a name?"
Xiao Yuncheng looked into the kitten's blue eyes and thought for a moment. He said, "Call me Tongyin."
Let it represent your voice, and let you accompany me for generations to come.
Wu Tong stayed at home with Xiao Yuncheng for two weeks before being taken back to the hospital by Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng applied for a long vacation. Murong Tonghai came to visit Wu Tong after learning that he was in the hospital. Wu Tong heard the door open and looked up to see Murong Tonghai's loving smile: "Uncle Tonghai?"
"Tongtong, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Murong Tonghai walked over to him, and Wu Tong smiled and shook his head: "No, I feel fine, uncle."
Xiao Yuncheng came in carrying some fruit, and the three of them chatted while eating the fruit. Murong Tonghai told Wu Tong about his and Murong Xu's childhood. Wu Tong laughed happily and looked very relaxed.
After chatting for more than an hour, Shi Qian and the others also arrived. The ward was suddenly filled with a lot of noise, and it was much more lively than the corridor outside. It seemed that only this ward was always filled with joy and laughter.
Every time the nurse came to deliver medicine to Wu Tong, she could see Wu Tong smiling happily. She thought to herself, it turns out that not all intensive care units are so deserted. As soon as she entered Wu Tong's ward, she could always feel a strong emotional atmosphere, which made people smile unconsciously and their mood became better.
When Wu Tong saw the nurse coming to give him medicine, he smiled and greeted her, "Sister."
"Are you so happy? What are you talking about?" The nurse chatted with Wu Tong while taking out the counted medicines and handing them to Wu Tong. Wu Tong took the medicines and drank them with the honey water prepared by the nurse, but still frowned because of the bitterness of the medicines.
The nurse laughed and teased him that he still had the same expression after having eaten so many times. Wu Tong narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Because he has never suffered before, of course he is unwilling to accept it again. Someone here protects him very well and allows him to taste sweetness every day.
The later it got, the more exhausted Wu Tong became. He felt weak all over and had no energy. Later, he could only lie in bed, relying on an oxygen tube to support his dying life.
Xiao Yuncheng never left Wu Tong's side again. He responded to every request and kept Wu Tong company while talking. Even though Wu Tong no longer had the energy to smile at him or respond to him, he still enjoyed talking to himself and never felt bored.
Wu Tong was so thin that his bones were clearly visible. The ring on his collarbone was still shining, as if responding to Xiao Yuncheng's love on his behalf and showing that he had not neglected his feelings.
That day, the weather was very good, not cold, but sunny. The wind blowing in their faces brought fresh air, making people feel refreshed. Everyone stood in front of Wu Tong's bed, feeling sad, but no one showed it on their faces, because Wu Tong had given them too many smiles, and they didn't want to spoil his fun.
Wu Tong weakly raised his eyelids and slowly raised the corners of his mouth to them. Xiao Yuncheng held his hand and responded with a smile, but his eyes were full of reluctance and discomfort.
Wu Tong really wanted to raise his hand to touch his face, but he had no strength. Xiao Yuncheng knew what he was thinking and placed his hand on the side of his face, pressing it tightly against his cheek.
Wu Tong's hands were very cold, and Xiao Yuncheng couldn't warm them no matter how hard he tried. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't help but shed tears. Wu Tong frowned unnoticeably, opened her mouth, and whispered, "Don't cry."
But as soon as Wu Tong spoke, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't hold back his tears. At this time, he cried like a child, burying his face in Wu Tong's palm, wetting his hand.
No one spoke, their sadness was stuck in their throats, their eyes were full of reluctance. Shi Qian was holding Lin Chen's hand tightly on the ground, even trembling slightly. He was trying very hard to endure it. Even Shi Qian, who was an emotional person, was trying hard to suppress it. Lin Chen pinched his fingers to express his comfort.
Wu Tong's eyes were also wet. He looked at Xiao Yuncheng, and his tears seemed to flow into Wu Tong's heart, but they were not bitter, but warm.
Wu Tong almost used up his last bit of strength and said to Xiao Yuncheng: "Xiao Yuncheng, after you leave, go home and check the room. There is something for you..."
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look." Xiao Yuncheng answered him with a sob. Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng's face, smiled, and closed his eyes.
Wu Tong never opened his eyes again. His smile remained at that moment and never faded away.
Xiao Yuncheng burst into tears and leaned over to hug Wu Tong, trying desperately to hold on to his last bit of body warmth. Wu Tong's body gradually became cold. Xiao Yuncheng greedily wanted to keep the scent of his body and buried his face in the crook of Wu Tong's neck, but there was no longer the vibrant sound of his heartbeat.
The heart rate monitor sounded an alarm, and the faint undulating line finally turned into a straight horizontal line, and Wu Tong's life came to an end.
His heart rate was like Wu Tong's life, full of ups and downs, extremely unstable. It was not until later that he began to stabilize, because of Xiao Yuncheng's good medicine, which healed all his scars. The next time he tasted something, it was not bitter, but sweet, refreshing sweetness.
The heart was finally repaired and stopped moving peacefully. The warm blood stopped flowing, and he slept forever in that spring.
Summer is the season of beginnings, of unexpected encounters and the happiness of holding hands; spring is the season of resurrection of all life and eternal love.
The ring finally returned and fit tightly together with the other one, never to be separated again. The lover's body temperature remained on it, warmed by Xiao Yuncheng's hand, just like Wu Tong's temperature.
The camellia blossoming in Xiao Yuncheng's bedroom was as white as jade. Wu Tong said that it was very appropriate for Xu Ze to use this flower to describe him.
The beauty of the end of the road, the purest flower blooming in the nourishment of the mud.
At this moment, Wu Tong died without regrets.
