his mermaid

***

Yueguo had a dream in his heavy sleep.

The empty space gradually formed a corridor, and three or two students came over.

"He's really gay. No wonder I helped him carry the table and blushed at me that day, like a woman. Now that I think about it, I'm going to throw up."

"The girls from the vocal music department in the dormitory next door, isn't that what this school is like. There are so many gays studying art."

"You said his double eyelids—couldn't have been cut, and I don't know if he has put on makeup, and there is a scent on his body."

"I really don't want to talk to him. He asked me to help him pour a glass of water, and he said hypocritically, "Excuse me, can you pour me a glass of water", as if I was acting like a baby to my father. It wouldn't be interesting to me. "

"You are too narcissistic. I heard that there are pictures of muscular men in his mobile phone, so I won't fall in love with your little birdie."

"Go away, go away, don't talk so disgustingly."

Passing the corridor of the boys' dormitory, he returned to his college days.

He was standing in the corridor, and the classmates passing by were all familiar faces. They walked by quickly, but they whispered and laughed wantonly as if they couldn't see him.

In a strange university, Yue Guo was isolated by his classmates in the dormitory.

They called brothers and he wasn't used to that, so he became gay.

He didn't deny it either.

Because he did like male classmates.

Later, the rumors became more and more serious, and the people in the dormitory avoided him.There are other comrades in the school, but they all have their own circle of friends, and they will go out for drinks and parties, and Yueguo can't fit into the circle that often has fun.

Later, a vicious incident happened, and Yueguo moved out of the dormitory.

It started because I bought the wrong item while helping out on errands, so the others decided not to pay.After Yue Guo plucked up the courage to ask for money, someone suddenly said, "Come on, I'll give you money if you sell your ass." Yue Guo didn't know what to say, so he closed the door hard and walked out of the dormitory.

Perhaps the sound of closing the door was a bit loud, which made the people in the dormitory very uncomfortable.As soon as he walked out, he was pushed to the ground by several tall male classmates in the dormitory, and even took off his pants.What would happen next, he could not imagine.

In order to avoid the invasion, Yue Guo fell down the stairs after fleeing.

This incident almost alarmed the whole building, and the dormitory manager came over and called an ambulance.In the process of carrying the stretcher, Yueguo saw the students who had bullied him just now explain to the dormitory teacher in an exaggerated tone.

"How could it be possible to violate him."

"Sure enough, whoever you are is what you see in others."

"We just touched him a few times. It's like this among boys. He was nervous. He thought we were going to rape him, so he ran out and fell down the stairs without anyone pushing."

Because of the pain, he didn't say a word, and his defense alone was no match for several people's tongues.

The teacher handled the matter with a verbal warning, and Yue Guo received no apology from anyone.

After staying in the hospital for a day, the squad leader brought a few classmates who were also in the school band to see him, and Yaochen also came.

Yueguo is a member of the school band, but it is only a piano substitute, and the piano chief is another boy.Jiang Yaochen is the principal violinist of the orchestra, and his father is Jiang Dewen, the well-known tutor of the academy. Jiang Dewen is also a well-known music theorist in China, and has held personal concerts in Paris, Austria and other countries.Jiang Dewen has two sons, and it is said that he doesn't care much about the second son.But Yaochen, as his second son, was also placed with high expectations, at least in the eyes of ordinary students, he was like a high-ranking prince.

Yueguo never thought that he could deal with this kind of person whom many classmates look up to.

Because he was a piano substitute, he collaborated with Yaochen in a performance, and later Yaochen invited him to accompany him in his academic exams.

After everyone came to visit him at that time, Yaochen said, "If you don't find a rental house for the time being, you can come and live in my apartment for a while."

Several other girls also coaxed him to agree, Yaochen's apartment is very big, and they saw it when they sent things.

I don't know if I really want to help Yueguo, or if I want to see his jokes.

Yueguo cheekily agreed to the matter, and lived there for more than half a year, and was also responsible for the housework of Yaochen's apartment.

But later, without knowing why, he moved out of there.

Maybe it's because he's afraid of being gossiped by other students, or maybe he's afraid of what he thinks about Yaochen.

Perhaps it was because of Yaochen's attitude towards him later that he was a little disgusted and disgusted.

Moreover, he feels that his self-esteem has reached its limit after living for too long without paying a penny of rent.

If it wasn't for that accidental fracture, there would be no fate with Yaochen.

The dream kept repeating the memories of that period, mixed with waking thoughts, Yueguo was thinking, this dream is really long.

Maintaining the only sliver of sobriety, Yueguo saw a woman in white clothes standing beside the bed. From the clothes, she could tell that she was a doctor. The place where she was lying was in the hospital. There were white fluorescent lights in her eyes, and the room smelled of disinfectant.

"pain…"

"Is it the part of the severed limb?"

The doctor suddenly leaned over his face, listening to his voice.

"Left leg...below..."

"Under the left leg?...Maybe it's a phantom limb pain, maybe you can't get used to the amputation, but after the amputation, your vital signs are now very stable."

Amputation?

He just felt that he couldn't move his left leg. Why did he amputate it?The doctor's words were more like a dream.It just stimulated his desire to get up, because he was still worried about Xiaohui who was run over by the car.

Noticing that his hands and body were moving, the female doctor quickly called the nurse to comfort him.

"Hurry up and prepare the sedative, he can't move around like this."

Yue Guo closed his eyes in a daze.Seems like he's just a doctor's guinea pig, just an object, so the object must be quiet.

His body was extremely heavy, and they didn't need to play with him, he would calm down obediently.

Soon fell into a deep sleep again.

***

Surrounded by greenery.

s City Disabled People's Association.

The woman in the hall was sitting in a luxurious leather wheelchair, wearing a gauze blue Chinese dress and a tulle coat of the same color. Standing beside her was a young girl, about 20 years old, who was in charge of pushing He was in a wheelchair, but behind him were three bodyguards in suits.

This woman has an excellent complexion and fair complexion. Not only can she not be seen as a middle-aged person in her 50s, she can't even be seen as a high paraplegic who has been injured for 20 years.

"Ms. Shu, have you come with Qianyuan again?"

The people at the front desk greeted warmly, and immediately rushed to the backstage to prepare tea.

The woman who came out with water said with a smile, "I didn't see your son today."

"Yeah, after all, daughters are the most caring." Shu Lan deliberately patted on the hands of the girl next to her, and even made light-colored manicures on her slender fingertips, "My daughter will follow me wherever I go. "

She only has two arms that can move freely, but they are so well maintained. She has bodyguards with her when she goes out, and her background is of extraordinary value.

It is said that it is necessary to do body skin maintenance and massage every week to prevent necrosis.

Everyone in the association knew her as Shu Lan, the daughter of entrepreneur Shu Bowen.But since her father passed away, she is the current chairman of Shirong International Finance.

After taking a seat in the rest area of ​​the lobby, Shu Lan looked at her daughter.

To be precise, it was her stepdaughter, the daughter of her second husband and ex-wife.

Yuhan is not Shulan's biological child, but she always treats her as her own.

Her biological child is only Yaochen, but when Yaochen was seven years old, she divorced her ex-husband. During the divorce, a car accident suddenly happened, causing her to be paraplegic, and the driver who caused the accident even escaped.He lost everything overnight, and also lost Yaochen's custody rights.

Fortunately, Yaochen is a kind child, and he did not abandon her as a mother. He would visit me every month and report to her about his studies in each semester. Moreover, when he was studying abroad, Yaochen even chose to give up music and study finance. , It was precisely for the sake of inheriting his mother's company in the future that this incident almost turned him against his father Jiang Dewen.

"Is your brother busy at work recently? He didn't come today."

Yuhan sat upright and answered her: "Mom, a female colleague in the company passed away in a car accident, so Brother Yaochen and his colleagues are busy with her funeral."

"Is your brother so enthusiastic?"

"Well. The girl who died didn't have a relative here, so many colleagues went to help."

"So it is."

Shu Lan took a deep breath.Since Yaochen returned to China, she handed over the management of the company to her son. In the past six months, except for the finances, she didn't care much about the employees in the company. She didn't even know about the death of an employee, and Yaochen didn't even notify him. When something like this happened to her, as the chairman, she should also go to condolences, otherwise she would not be able to win people's hearts if she had been indifferent to the lives of employees for a long time.

After thinking about it, Yuhan said hesitantly: "Actually, Mom, the girl who passed away was the girl Brother Yaochen often asked out to play."

"It's that girl—?"

Sure enough, the mother's eyes froze for a moment.

"Your brother is finally willing to associate with normal people, and I plan to take a day to go to the company to meet her. How could there be a sudden car accident? How could this happen?"

"It was an accident and has nothing to do with the company."

"Enough, don't talk about it now, I don't want to hear it."

She didn't want Yuhan to continue to answer, and she didn't expect any answers.

Her lips moved hesitantly, and Shu Lan followed the people from the association into the office.

The wheelchair disappeared behind the office door, and Yuhan relaxed as if discouraged.

The mother thought that the brother was dating the woman.

But Yuhan is an intern in the company, she knows very well that brother Yaochen doesn't like that woman, there must be another reason for going out with her.

My brother likes people with disabilities.

Since high school, he has been making friends in the disabled community.

He told his mother that he just wanted to help the weak.

In fact, he was looking for someone to like.

Get closer by helping them and develop relationships.

The type he likes, usually people with disabled legs.And he preferred leg amputees to polio or paraplegia.But specifically, Yaochen never told anyone, this is Yuhan's own deduction.

It wasn't until college that Yaochen's circle of friends became known to his father, and his father forced him to go abroad in order to cut him off from those people.

But I didn't expect my brother to study in the UK, and the updates on ins are still some photos of making friends with disabled people.

My mother has said many times, let him stop focusing on this world of disabled people, and go to associate with healthy people like him.

But she always couldn't bear to stop it, because her mother was also a paraplegic.

She definitely didn't mean to look down on the disabled, but she didn't want her son to choose such a partner, and her ex-husband - Yaochen's father would never allow it.

In order not to worry his mother, Yaochen's relationship with someone will not last too long, regardless of gender, they will break up within a month or two, and if it is short, it will only be a week or two.

Moreover, his identity is obviously the young master of a rich family, and his father is well-known outside the world. Ordinary people dare not easily develop a relationship with him, let alone a disabled person whose body and family background are not worthy of him. After being pursued by him, he has no courage at all. Yes, usually no.

It seems that Yaochen has never really been tempted by anyone, and said to his mother, "If there is no suitable partner, I will stay single and never get married."

Yuhan's understanding of this unrelated elder brother stopped here.

***

Yaochen went to see a doctor from another department.

There, Gao and Jia's death notices were received, and the cause of death was acute cerebral infarction.

The doctor said that Gao and Jia suffered from high blood pressure for a long time and also suffered from uremia. Such a serious condition was not mentioned in the medical records, which greatly affected their medication and treatment.

Yaochen recalled what Yueguo said: "My father always gives all the money he saves to me and my sister."

"He hasn't bought new clothes for many years. Xiaohui wanted to buy him some new clothes, but he didn't want them, until Xiaohui said, "If you don't buy new clothes, don't go to school to find me. People who wear such dirty clothes will think we are It’s not good for a poor family.” He reluctantly agreed, but he didn’t wear the new clothes much, so he put them away. "

Why do you remember these words?Yaochen couldn't say the reason, he just remembered it suddenly.Living so hard, suffering from illnesses, and having to face the fact that she lost her daughter and her son is also disabled, death is the only relief.

He didn't feel sad for this family, not even a little sad.

Just keep reminding yourself:

There is nothing left in the Moon Kingdom.

When he woke up, he lost his only two relatives in the world, lost his left leg, lost his job, lost that boyfriend who didn't know where he was now, and even the old house was facing demolition.

A person with nothing is like a blank sheet of paper.

You can paint on it arbitrarily, and create any blueprint on it arbitrarily.

The treatment fee he is providing now is planning for this person's future.

He never thought that he would receive this gift that did not belong to him.

Through the glass of the intensive care unit, one could see Yue Guo's left leg was wrapped in layers of gauze.

There was blood in the gauze. The doctor said that the wound had stopped the bleeding. It is normal to ooze a little blood. After that, the dressing will be taken apart and changed every day. The recovery is quite slow, and there is a possibility of infection. This is true of any amputation. .

Every day around five o'clock in the afternoon, Yaochen would show up on time, but Yue Guo didn't wake up, so he only visited at the door.

The place he arranged for Yueguo to live in is the best ward in the entire hospital, with fully automatic air-conditioning and operating tables. It is summer now, and it may be very stuffy to stay in an ordinary intensive care unit.

As long as Yueguo is provided with better conditions, when he wakes up he will be full of guilt and gratitude, and he will not feel that he has been given alms or sympathized with.

I heard that it was because of the sedatives that Yueguo was always drowsy.

Like a small animal, as cute as a dormouse.He thought so in his heart, but it's a pity that he can't hug his dormouse in his current state.

On the fourth day after the operation, Yaochen came into the room to visit.

He comes every day, but this is the first time he has entered the intensive care unit, and he can only enter in a visitation suit.

Walking to the bedside, he stretched out his hand to stroke Yue Guo's sleeping face and hair.

"What to eat?"

Yaochen said.

"Is it going to be hard to get nutrient solution from the gastric tube in the past two days?"

Temporarily unavailable.The doctor at the door answered him:

"He just finished the operation, I'm afraid he can only eat liquid food, not spicy food, seafood and the like, and his diet can only be improved slowly."

"He doesn't like spicy food, nor does he like seafood." Yaochen turned around and said, but he felt that it was not right to say so.

When he was in college, Yueguo didn't like seafood, just because the price of seafood was relatively expensive. In order to save money, he ate in the cafeteria for a long time.

Maybe he likes to eat, just to save money?

After his injury is healed, you can take him to eat whatever he wants.Thinking of this, he denied all his previous impressions of Yueguo. No matter what he said, it cannot be used as a reference now.Because, after Yueguo wakes up, he will arrange all matters, whether it is buying daily necessities, food, or even what clothes to wear, the power is in his own hands.

Before it was time for the visit to end, Yaochen glanced at his watch.

"Rest well, I'll come back tomorrow."

As a family member in name, it would be a little strange if you were greedy for the time here.

Not knowing whether it was a nervous reaction or hearing his farewell, the corners of Yue Guo's eyes twitched.

Yaochen's footsteps stopped, and he said calmly, "What's the matter? You want to say, I still have something to say, is there anything I haven't told you?"

He felt the trembling of Yue Guo's eyes, and suddenly had some bad intentions.

"By the way, Yuehui and your father are both at Yunshan Funeral Home."

"The body has been processed. However, you are so weak, I don't intend to let you go."

Yaochen stood up suddenly and said.

"And Xiaohui's body is not even complete. The mortician sewed it up, which looked very unnatural... You must be very heartbroken when you see it."

The end of Yueguo's eyes twitched a few more times, and on the display next to him, the value of Yueguo's heartbeat suddenly jumped from over 70 to over 130, and even went up.

It seems he heard it.

As long as Yue Guo can be plunged into grief, he will feel extremely satisfied.

Noticing that there was no one around and the doctor was not at the door, Yaochen leaned over and kissed Yue Guo's forehead once.

Funeral home in Yunshan.

The mourning halls for the father and daughter were set up together, because they were killed in the same incident, and there were not many people who came, so there was no need to set up a bigger ostentation.

Most of the people who came to mourn were Yuehui's former colleagues.

The wake lasted for three days, and on the third day, only two distant relatives showed up. They were a couple, and they did not send gifts, but only burned some incense.

Yaochen was there that day, and he asked them "Does the Gao family have any other relatives?" The couple said, "In order to marry that woman, Gao and Jia severed ties with their parents and brothers, and did not have any contact with other relatives. He never went back to his hometown. When his parents died a few years ago, he took his two children back to his hometown to attend the funeral, but he was driven away by his brothers at that time. It is not clear who he has been with these years."

Just when Yaochen thought his future was settled, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared on the day of the funeral.Yaochen and a few friends were waiting for the cremation of the body. She came in suddenly with a nervous expression, frantically looking for Gao Yuehui's relatives and friends in the venue.

After Yaochen and his friend revealed their identities, the woman shouted emotionally:

"I am Yuehui's mother, Gao Hejia's wife! I want to bring back the ashes of my daughter and husband!"
