Chapter 59: Zhou Xun Extra (I)
Zhou Xun had a dream.
In the dream, he was tied to a cold operating table. A group of men in white coats, whose faces could not be seen clearly, held down his limbs and slowly cut open his body with sharp knives.
He watched helplessly as his flesh was cut off and his bloody bones were removed, from his toes to his neck, and finally, only his head was left with some feeling.
He felt no pain, but when the blade mixed with blood cut his skull, his consciousness became increasingly blurred. Before he fainted, he vaguely heard someone calling him in his ear.
——Zhou Xun!
The crying was so miserable that he subconsciously opened his eyes. It was pitch black in front of him and he could not see anything. He could only vaguely hear a few broken cries. He wanted to follow the sound and suddenly a bright light appeared in front of him.
It was still the same cold operating table, but it was not him who was being cut into pieces. The girl was struggling in pain, looking at him with a distorted face. It was... Beibei!
Zhou Xun ran forward in fear, but his body was stiff and unable to move. He could only watch the girl become like him, with only half a bloody head left.
He was so terrified that his eyes went dark and he fainted again. When he woke up, he was lying on the operating table again. The nightmare just happened again. The scene was still the same, but he and Beibei were taken turns to be dissected on the operating table.
Repeat... and repeat again...
It was like he had walked into a maze and couldn't get out. He wanted to die, he wanted to die quickly and painlessly, but unfortunately he couldn't die. Even though he only had half a head left, he was still conscious, a terrible consciousness...
Bang!
The light suddenly brightened, and just as he fainted again, he heard a crisp slap in his ear. Then, he felt a burning pain on his left cheek. He opened his eyes subconsciously, and in the dazzling light, he saw a fair and delicate face of a beautiful woman close at hand.
Lu Sheng just opened Zhou Xun's eyelids and saw that he was awake. He immediately let go of his hand and stood up straight. Looking at his sweaty appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched lazily.
"Okay, you can call your family now."
She patted the nurse's shoulder and blew her a kiss. "Sister is going home to sleep first. Don't call me if you have anything to say. See you tomorrow afternoon."
After saying that, Lu Sheng glanced at Zhou Xun lying on the hospital bed, then walked away gracefully, twisting her slender waist. The two young nurses watched her leave the ward.
"Tsk, I thought it would be useful to invite this ancestor here. Doctor Li and his team have been researching for three years but there has been no progress, but this ancestor only took three months."
"Damn! She woke up with just one slap. Sister Sheng is still so majestic! So cool!"
"Hey, do you think this slap is so easy? Okay, okay, I'll watch here. Go call Officer Xia. She should be having dinner now."
Officer Xia... Beibei...
Zhou Xun wanted to speak, but his throat felt like it was filled with lead and he couldn't open his mouth. His heavy breathing gradually calmed down, but his mind felt so heavy that it couldn't be any heavier, like a piece of rust that couldn't turn. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep again.
Zhou Xun finally woke up completely five days later. During this period, he woke up several times intermittently, each time only staying awake for a few seconds before falling into a coma again. This went on for five days.
Seven or eight experts came to the ward, examined him again and again, and talked a lot. Zhou Xun had a headache because he couldn't understand the professional terms. He only heard the word "miracle".
Everyone had excitement and excitement on their faces. For them, this was something to be happy about, but for Zhou Xun, it was not a good thing. In fact, he did not want to live, and he did not want this miracle.
In that recurring nightmare, he desperately wanted to stay alive and wake up because he wanted to save Beibei. However, when he woke up in reality, he felt inexplicably panicked and scared.
Because he didn't know how to face the past, how to face Beibei, and how to face himself.
Why... isn't he dead?
Bang!
A pen hit his face. Zhou Xun came back to his senses and looked around, only to find that he and the doctor named Lu Sheng were the only ones left in the ward.
He recognized this face. She was the first person he saw when he woke up, and she was also the one he saw when he was awake intermittently later.
"you……"
He tried to open his mouth, said a word and then closed it again. It seemed that just one word had exhausted all his strength. His face was too pale and weak.
Lu Sheng held a lollipop in his mouth and moved a stool to sit in front of the bed, with his hands in his pockets and his legs crossed. He looked lazy and comfortable, and did not look like a doctor at all.
"I have used all my strength to bring you back from the gates of hell. If you really don't want to live, I can send you to see the King of Hell right now, but..."
She paused, stared straight into Zhou Xun's eyes, and said with a smile:
"Xia Beibei is so pitiful. She has come here rain or shine for three years. She has given you massages and chatted with you every day. Not only has she lost a lot of weight, but her eyes are swollen like light bulbs every day. The day after you woke up, she ran straight to the mountain to burn incense and fulfill her wish. If you died suddenly, she would probably have to go down to accompany you."
Zhou Xun's eyes trembled, and he looked at her without saying anything. Lu Sheng stared at him for a while, then suddenly leaned forward, looking at his broken finger intentionally or unintentionally.
"I've heard your story. Well, you're a tough guy. You're strong and tough. I like you."
After saying that, he retracted his gaze and looked at Zhou Xun's face again. Seeing that he was full of vigilance, he stretched out his hand and pinched his face, and said with emotion:
"Poor handsome boy, I see that your sweetheart has a boyfriend who is very handsome. I guess there is no hope for you. Otherwise, you can consider me. I am the most beautiful girl in our hospital. You are lucky."
"roll--"
Zhou Xun managed to roar out a word in a hoarse voice and closed his eyes tiredly. If he was able to move freely, he would definitely throw this woman down from the building. She was so pretty, but she must be mentally ill!
Lu Sheng laughed twice, and a young nurse came in with a thermometer. Lu Sheng looked back, and in the mixed light of light and dark, she took the pen from Zhou Xun's pillow, her voice so low that it was not noticeable.
"No matter what happened to you, since you are alive, live well. If you don't want Xia Beibei to live in self-blame and pain for the rest of her life, cherish your life. She has had it harder than you."
Zhou Xun opened his eyes and saw only Lu Sheng's back, as if the person who had just whispered in his ear was not her...
The nurse had just heard Lu Sheng teasing Zhou Xun. When she took his temperature, she saw that his eyes were dull and he looked like he had lost his soul. She thought he was frightened and couldn't help but said:
"Sister Sheng is like this. She will tease handsome guys whenever she sees them, but she only teases them verbally. You don't have to be afraid. You are the second vegetative person she has 'awakened'. She was not like this originally. It's a pity that if it weren't for five years ago..."
She seemed to remember something, shook her head and sighed, and didn't continue talking. After giving Zhou Xun a few instructions, she took her things and went out.
Zhou Xun lay there for a while, and Gao Bochuan came in with a basin of hot water in his hand. He came to wipe his body. The nurse told him that in the past three years, Beibei had been giving him massages and Gao Bochuan had been wiping him.
When their eyes met, Gao Bochuan's looked relieved and relaxed, but Zhou Xun's looked complicated. For a moment, no one spoke.
When Gao Bochuan was helping him wipe his fingers, he touched the severed finger and was silent for a while before saying:
"You should take good care of yourself and cooperate with Dr. Lu in the rehabilitation training. Don't worry about other things. Just live well."
Finally, he patted his shoulder and said sincerely: "Zhou Xun, thank you for being alive."
Zhou Xun hadn't said anything the whole time. When he opened the door to leave, he suddenly said with difficulty, "For now...for now...don't let Beibei come over."
His voice was hoarse and filled with a hint of pleading. Gao Bochuan turned to look at him, was silent for a moment, and sighed:
"Beibei has already guessed that you don't want to see her for the time being. She is worried that it will affect your treatment. She only dares to come when you are asleep. Zhou Xun, in fact, Beibei's guilt is more serious than you think. I hope you can get over it as soon as possible. We are all waiting for you."
Zhou Xun began to actively cooperate with the treatment, eat well, and do rehabilitation training well, and the results were gratifying.
Lu Sheng is her attending physician. The hospital is extremely busy every day, but she has only him as a patient. She wanders leisurely in front of him every day, playing games, watching TV series, teasing him, or chatting with him about hospital gossip.
It goes without saying that Lu Sheng must have a background in this kind of privileged thing, because the people in the hospital are particularly caring towards her.
Zhou Xun did not deliberately inquire about her private affairs, but this woman was determined to find out about his private affairs. She heard the general story and kept asking about the details all day long.
She was particularly interested in the details of the torture he suffered before he fell into a coma. The more he avoided it, the more she would bring up irrelevant issues. After waking up, he always subconsciously avoided it and didn't want to speak. But when she pestered him like this, he couldn't help but curse at her.
There was a benefit to her making such a fuss. After a long time, he became more and more fluent in speaking. However, the worse thing about this woman was her strong sense of bad taste.
When he was doing rehabilitation training, this woman snatched a crutch from some old lady and followed him closely. If he was a little slower or his movements were not standard, she would hit him on the butt with the crutch.
This is an absolute shame!
Especially when there were crowds of onlookers gathered around, and saw him being chased and beaten by Lu Sheng with a cane, no one came to help, they all just wanted to watch the fun.
Especially that bastard Gao Bochuan, he actually took pictures with his cell phone, which really brought shame to his old face.
The nurse who often took his temperature whispered to him, "Actually, Sister Sheng is not hitting you randomly. She is helping you train. Each time she hits you, there is a pattern. Just train according to her method and I guarantee you will recover quickly."
Zhou Xun was speechless. If he had to use such a shameful training method, he would rather lie in the hospital for a few more years!
The days passed by, the training was dull but not boring at all, because Lu Sheng was simply a devil. To be more precise, she was the chatterbox among devils, her cherry mouth never stopped talking all day long.
Apart from stimulating him during rehabilitation training, when he was resting in bed, this woman would actually watch TV series beside him while holding a tablet and eating melon seeds. She would complain about the plot from time to time, complain about the actors' acting skills, and sometimes even force him to chat.
Fortunately, this woman was late for work and left early, so he didn't have to face her 24 hours a day.
During his hospitalization, in addition to Gao Bochuan, he also met several acquaintances and even his adoptive mother Xia Yuan.
The only person he had never seen was Beibei. To be more precise, he had never seen her with his eyes open. Many times, he wanted to hear her voice, to take a peek at her, and he pretended to sleep on purpose.
He still didn't know how to face her. Once some things were torn apart, they could never go back to the past and he could only escape.
Five months later, Zhou Xun was able to be discharged from the hospital, but where to go became a problem. He could not move completely independently and needed someone to take care of him.
Xia Beibei wanted to take him home and take care of him, but he disagreed. His foster mother Xia Yuan wanted to take him back, but he also disagreed. He wanted to go back to his own house and hire a nurse to take care of him, but Xia Beibei was worried.
Finally, Lu Sheng walked into the ward while chewing an apple and twisting her waist. In the stalemate, she said to Zhou Xun:
"I live alone in a two-story villa with six rooms for you to choose from. I'm also a beautiful and practical doctor. If you have nowhere to go, I can take you back."
The people in the ward looked at each other. Lin Qi stared at her suspiciously and defensively, "Doctor Lu, what do you mean?"
Lu Sheng threw the apple core into the trash can two meters away without paying any attention to her. He just clapped his hands, took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Xun.
"Here, I'll give you a minute to think about it. If you answer, follow me. If you don't, I'll leave now."
In one minute, Zhou Xun spent ten seconds looking at the key in Lu Sheng's hand, fifty seconds looking towards the door, and finally, when Lu Sheng withdrew his hand, he grabbed the key.
"Then... I'll trouble you, Doctor Lu."
