Chapter 49
Even though Wu Tong was discharged from the hospital, he was still in a coma for a long time. During this week, Xiao Yuncheng took good care of Wu Tong. He kept Wu Tong clean every day. It was like Xiao Yuncheng was playing a game of taking care of a kitten, which was no different from the current scene. Xiao Yuncheng was quite good at entertaining himself.
That night, Xiao Yuncheng returned to the hospital after finishing his work at the police station. Wu Tong was still lying quietly on the hospital bed. Even when she was still, she was surprisingly beautiful. Xiao Yuncheng stared at her and stood at the door without moving.
Like a sleeping beauty, Xiao Yuncheng thought.
The fatigue of the day disappeared the moment he saw Wu Tong. After washing up, Xiao Yuncheng quickly but gently opened the folding bed and placed it next to Wu Tong's bed. Lying on his back on the slightly hard bed, Xiao Yuncheng sighed comfortably. He turned his head slightly and could see Wu Tong's profile. Xiao Yuncheng just stared at him and reached out to gently hold Wu Tong's hand.
Wu Tong's hands were a little cold. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't sleep, so he had to sit up to warm Wu Tong's hands. Xiao Yuncheng felt so satisfied. He could look at Wu Tong's face all day without getting tired. But with Wu Tong's appearance, no one would feel tired looking at him, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuncheng fell asleep unknowingly. His forehead rested lightly on Wu Tong's arm, which felt cold.
Xiao Yuncheng had a dream. He dreamed that Wu Tong married him. The sky was filled with flying pale pink and white rose petals. Wu Tong smiled more beautifully than the flowers among the flowers. Seeing Xiao Yuncheng standing there motionless, she tilted her head at him.
Xiao Yuncheng finally took action. He walked quickly towards Wu Tong and pulled him into his arms. It was warm and real. Xiao Yuncheng didn't dare to let go. He was afraid that if he let go, Wu Tong would disappear. This was an idea that came to him out of nowhere.
But no matter how hard he tried to hold on to the summer ice, it would still melt. Xiao Yuncheng felt that the person in his arms began to lose weight. He lowered his head and looked, but he could no longer see Wu Tong's face. Wu Tong's whole body was like a melted ice cube, and now even his face could not be seen clearly.
"Tongtong..."
Xiao Yuncheng tried to win him back, but it was all nonsense. As soon as his hand touched Wu Tong's shapeless face, Wu Tong turned into a ball of foam. Xiao Yuncheng raised his head helplessly. The bubbles reflected a psychedelic light under the sunlight, beautiful but unreal. Xiao Yuncheng wanted to catch it, but he didn't dare to, for fear that it would burst and be gone.
Everyone present had a smiling face. No one was sad, no one was upset. Time seemed to have stopped. Only Xiao Yuncheng had the most different expression among them.
There was nothing in the sky, but the familiar voice still sounded from above his head and reached Xiao Yuncheng's ears. Xiao Yuncheng raised his head and saw Wu Tong wearing a silk sleeveless robe, with golden bracelets extending to his elbows, and a transparent, bubble-colored belt tied around his waist, which made his waist look slender and exquisite.
Xiao Yuncheng was almost stunned. The person in front of him was like a god, landing in front of him, bringing with him a warm light that made Xiao Yuncheng unable to open his eyes.
"Xiao Yuncheng." Wu Tong spoke while floating. His voice was so close yet so distant that it stuck to Xiao Yuncheng's ears. Xiao Yuncheng still felt it was unreal.
"Don't worry." Wu Tong said softly. It was obviously a very gentle voice, but Xiao Yuncheng wanted to cry when he heard it. He opened his mouth, but unexpectedly found that he could not speak. He could only watch Wu Tong gradually move away from him, floating higher and higher in the sky, until he disappeared.
Don't go, please, don't leave me alone...
Xiao Yuncheng thought in despair.
But Wu Tong could not hear Xiao Yuncheng's voice, and Xiao Yuncheng could only watch Wu Tong go away.
Xiao Yuncheng suddenly woke up!
It turned out to be a dream.
It was too real. Xiao Yuncheng's heart couldn't calm down. He moved his right hand, but it seemed to be entangled by something. Xiao Yuncheng looked down and found that his fingers were intertwined with Wu Tong's.
Only at this moment did Xiao Yuncheng feel at ease. He gently stroked the back of Wu Tong's hand with the tip of his thumb, very gently and cherishingly.
Suddenly, Wu Tong's hand moved. The movement was so slight that Xiao Yuncheng even thought it was an illusion. But it was not until Wu Tong really slowly opened his eyes that Xiao Yuncheng realized that he was not hallucinating.
Wu Tong really woke up.
Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a long moment, until Wu Tong shook their tightly clasped hands, Xiao Yuncheng came back to his senses.
"Tongtong, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yuncheng stood up hurriedly, and kept asking about Wu Tong's condition and situation. Wu Tong didn't say anything from beginning to end, just staring at Xiao Yuncheng blankly. Xiao Yuncheng guessed that he might have just woken up and was not very conscious, so he didn't force him to answer. He did everything naturally: poured water for Wu Tong, wiped his face, combed his hair, changed his clothes, everything was in place. Wu Tong was like a beautiful doll, letting him dress him up.
The "pretty doll" raised his hand, and Xiao Yuncheng immediately held it, and asked him softly what was wrong. Wu Tong looked at him deeply for a long time, and finally leaned over and gently pressed his lips against his. At this moment, all the haze disappeared, and even the moonlight in the night was exceptionally clear and bright. Xiao Yuncheng tried hard to control his strength, and his hand touched the back of Wu Tong's neck, deepening the kiss.
This kiss was so gentle that Wu Tong almost drowned in Xiao Yuncheng's tenderness. He actually shed tears, which flowed down the corners of his eyes and dripped onto Xiao Yuncheng's hands that were supporting him. Xiao Yuncheng felt it, and he let go of Wu Tong. His fingertips gently stroked his soft face, and he spoke softly and gently: "My dear, why are you crying?"
Wu Tong's tears were like a faucet that had been opened. Xiao Yuncheng's words completely opened the floodgates. She couldn't stop crying. Xiao Yuncheng held her in his arms distressedly, patting her back gently like he was coaxing a child: "Don't cry, our little painter, don't cry..."
Wu Tong sniffed and finally spoke: "Xiao Yuncheng..."
This voice almost made Xiao Yuncheng lose his soul. Xiao Yuncheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face and simply smiled brightly. He tilted his head to Wu Tong and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Tong seemed to realize that he was being treated like a child. His face flushed slightly, and he stammered, "It's okay," before falling silent again. Xiao Yuncheng found it funny and wanted to tease him more. The two laughed for a long time before Wu Tong slowly stopped smiling. He opened his mouth and said, "Brother, thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you." Xiao Yuncheng raised the corner of his mouth. He leaned close to Wu Tong's ear and whispered, "Baby, I love you."
Wu Tong couldn't hold back the tears that he had just held back. He had never known what love was since he was a child. He had a broken family and a dark childhood. His life was not glorious. But there was such a person with light all over her body who broke into his world, took his hand and told him: I will take you to the sunshine.
Wu Tong burst into laughter and finally said that sentence: "Xiao Yuncheng,"
"I love you too."
The person who thought he was not worthy of love in this life also has his own sun.
The two hugged each other for a long time, as if they wanted to merge into each other's bodies and make them an inseparable part.
Xiao Yuncheng kissed Wu Tong's forehead tenderly and whispered, "Tongtong, are you still tired?"
"It's okay." Wu Tong shook his head.
Xiao Yuncheng looked up at the time and chatted with Wu Tong, talking about Shi Qian's recent atrocities, how Lin Chen, pretending to be a fool while interrogating a prisoner, ended up breaking the prisoner's defenses, and so on. Wu Tong listened very attentively, the smile on his face never fading from beginning to end.
"That person's face is completely red." Xiao Yuncheng paused and came up with a very suitable adjective: "Red and warm."
As Wu Tong listened to him, he realized that everything was over. He remembered that he did not ask how Xu Ze was doing. Before going to find Xu Ze, Wu Tong confessed their plan to Xiao Yuncheng. Now Wu Tong remembered this.
"How is Xu Ze?"
Xiao Yuncheng pretended to be unhappy and muttered, "It's not good for you to mention your love rival in front of your husband, little painter, right?"
Wu Tong was amused by him, but Xiao Yuncheng didn't really care. He simply told Wu Tong the punishment the police had given Xu Ze. Wu Tong's brows slightly frowned, but Xiao Yuncheng noticed and smoothed them with his fingertips: "What's wrong?"
"No, I just feel..." Wu Tong looked out the window. The moon was so round. Wu Tong said, "These things have finally come to an end."
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't deny it. He took the boiled water that had just cooled on the table and asked Wu Tong to drink some, then rang the bell for the nurse to come over.
"The patient is recovering well, but he's a little tired now. Let him rest more and avoid overexerting himself."
Xiao Yuncheng listened carefully to the nurse's instructions, and Wu Tong leaned on the bed and looked at him. He felt that happiness really filled his brain and heart. His dirty heart was really repaired by the man in front of him. The warm blood flowed through it and warmed his whole body.
Xiao Yuncheng sent the nurse away and turned around to see Wu Tong staring at him. Xiao Yuncheng laughed and walked towards Wu Tong: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Wu Tong still didn't withdraw his gaze and added: "You look good, I want to see it."
It was clearly a compliment, and Xiao Yuncheng should have been happy, but for no reason he thought of the future, a future where he would lose Wu Tong. The atmosphere instantly turned cold. They both knew what the other was thinking, and they were silent for a few seconds. In the end, it was Xiao Yuncheng who broke the deadlock first: "Are you tired?"
But Wu Tong didn't respond. She remained silent and didn't even look up at Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng knew that this topic couldn't be brushed off like this. They really had to face this problem seriously. Xiao Yuncheng sat down next to Wu Tong and said in a voice as slow as possible, "Tongtong, what are you worried about? You can tell me and we can solve it together, okay?"
Xiao Yuncheng had said this, and Wu Tong no longer hid his feelings. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuncheng: "Xiao Yuncheng, I don't have much time."
"Yes, I know." Xiao Yuncheng responded patiently. As if worried that Wu Tong couldn't hear clearly, Xiao Yuncheng said again in a deep voice: "I know."
But seeing Xiao Yuncheng like this, Wu Tong really couldn't bear to say anything to hurt his heart. After all, the person in front of him was the one he loved the most. Wu Tong raised his hand and hugged Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, then hugged him back. Wu Tong said apologetically, "I'm sorry, let's not talk about this anymore."
But Xiao Yuncheng wanted to say that this matter had reached a point where it could no longer be solved by escaping. Wu Tong couldn't let it go, and Xiao Yuncheng felt that he needed an explanation.
