Chapter 167 Nian Nian takes Yuan Yuan home
So, during the hospitalization, Yuanyuan, who was in low spirits due to organ failure, always regained his meager energy after hanging three bottles of water.
Because of Yuanyuan's matter, Nian Nian was distracted from sitting in the classroom, so Shi Guilin asked for a long vacation for him.
After hearing that Yuanyuan's condition was not optimistic, Jiang Duan insisted on visiting Yuanyuan in the hospital for two to three hours every day after school. Xi Zimu and Ji Shuhe also came frequently.
Shi Nanqi, regardless of the high compensation he faced for breach of cooperation, insisted on rushing back from other places, returning to Hai City and to Yuanyuan.
The first thing she did on the first day after returning was to visit Yuanyuan who was frail in the hospital ward.
The situation was worse than she had imagined. She went home that night and cried in her bedroom all night.
Unlike everyone else who was worried, Yuanyuan, who was feeling weak all over, endured the dull pain inside his body and was so happy that it was a little abrupt.
Because recently a lot of people play with it every day.
People who usually can only play with it for a short time even if they pester it hard, now take the initiative to spend plenty of time playing with it during this period.
Yuanyuan is very happy.
I was so happy that I could ignore the pain in my body.
But the idea that man can conquer nature is ultimately a false proposition. Aside from the first three days after admission, when Yuanyuan's health indicators showed a noticeable improvement, they worsened almost daily thereafter.
On the first day, Yuanyuan was still able to lift his claws and join Nian Nian in trampling over the sandbag that they had bullied since they were little.
On the third day, Yuanyuan tried his best to barely swing his big tail, which used to be able to be turned into a propeller.
On the seventh day, Yuanyuan could not complete any movement except breathing and blinking.
Seven days is enough to accomplish countless things. But Yuanyuan, unable to accomplish anything independently, developed a new habit during these seven days—waiting for Nian Nian and the others to come and play with him.
Today is the eighth day - today it is waiting too.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the doctor on rounds checked Yuanyuan's vital signs as usual. The doctor, wearing gloves and holding a tube-shaped light, shone the light into Yuanyuan's cloudy eyes, and then used a hearing aid to monitor his heartbeat.
A mere three minutes of examination revealed the trajectory of the patient's death. The doctor, with a complex expression, called the pet owner's contact information, which was written on the wall above the bed.
"Hello, Mr. Shi Guilin, your dog is in very poor condition. I'm afraid he's dying. Please come as soon as possible."
There was silence on the other side for a second, followed by a chaotic clatter of bells and bangs.
The doctor remained in the posture of answering the phone. His eyes fell on Yuanyuan, and after two seconds of silence, he said the last words to the person on the other end:
"Go as fast as possible, the dog seems to be waiting for you."
Shi Guilin and Nian Nian rushed into the hospital.
When I broke into the ward, the lifeless room was instantly filled with the noise of footsteps and heavy breathing.
Nian Nian cried and rushed to the bedside, stroking Yuan Yuan's body with her hands lingeringly, as if trying to hold back a gust of wind that could not be grasped.
"I'm sorry, Yuanyuan, I promised Dad not to cry in front of you...but..." Nian Nian said with difficulty and regret, "But I can't help it, what can I do? Wuwuwu... Yuanyuan, wuwuwu..."
Yuanyuan looked at Nian Nian and slowly stuck out his tongue.
Nian Nian knew that Yuan Yuan wanted to lick away his tears with her tongue like she did before.
It doesn't have the strength now.
In an instant, Nian Nian became even sadder and cried out of breath.
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have disliked Yuanyuan’s sour and smelly saliva.
Yuanyuan realized he couldn't wipe away Nian Nian's tears, and after a brief inner struggle, he finally gave up. But then, he stretched his claws hard, touched Nian Nian's arm, and then, with immense difficulty, he pushed the sandbag under his claws towards Nian Nian.
"I don't want a sandbag, Yuanyuan, I don't want a sandbag, wuwuwuwu..."
Nian Nian opened her mouth and cried in an unruly manner, stuffing the sandbag into Yuan Yuan's arms. "I won't fight with you for the sandbag anymore, Yuan Yuan, please don't leave, okay... I'll give the sandbag to you, please don't leave me, Yuan Yuan..."
"Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan! Wuuuuu Yuanyuan!" Seeing it slowly closing its eyes, Nian Nian called it repeatedly, stamping her feet anxiously, and her big tears wet the sheets of the hospital bed.
Shi Guilin couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned his head away to wipe away his tears. The rest of the Shi family slowly gathered around the bed, sobbing in unison.
"Yuanyuan..." Nian Nian called its name for the last time. Seeing that its eyes had completely closed and there was no possibility of opening them again, she tilted her head back and cried loudly.
Even though I had been mentally prepared for Yuanyuan's death for so long, no one could bear the pain of seeing a precious life slip away before my eyes.
Nian Nian held Yuan Yuan's still warm paw, crying anxiously and fiercely, the intervals between her breaths becoming shorter and shorter, her shoulders rising up with her breathing, and her legs becoming weak.
Shi Nanqi had been paying attention to Nian Nian and quickly said, "Nian Nian has a little respiratory alkaloid poisoning!"
Shi Guilin took a step forward and quickly embraced Nian Nian. Leaving a little space between his palms, he covered the lower half of his face, covering his mouth and nose, and ordered forcefully, "Niannian! Nian Nian! Slow down, breathe slower, Yuanyuan still needs you, Nian Nian, slow down, slow down..."
Yuanyuan still needs me.
Nian Nian read these words over and over in his confused mind. Gradually, his breathing slowed down and his breathing frequency decreased, but his tears still kept flowing.
"Dad, I want to take Yuanyuan home." Nian Nian spoke slowly but with a unique persistence, "It hasn't been home for a week."
