Suo Qingjun Chapter 60
byThe aftermath
The light in the ward was soft, and Song Xu’s breathing gradually calmed down.Xu Baiyan held his hand and stayed beside the bed, his eyes as red and swollen as walnuts, and from time to time he would raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Qing Fengan and Jin Xianling were sitting on the bench by the window, neither of them speaking.Jin Xianling held Qing Fengan’s hand and gently rubbed the back of his hand with her fingertips, trying to soothe his still tense nerves.The setting sun outside the window slowly sinks, dyeing the horizon a warm orange color, but it cannot dispel the faint smell of disinfectant in the ward.
When Song Xu woke up, he saw Xu Baiyan lying beside the bed, his head moving slowly, and it seemed that he couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.He didn’t want to wake him up, he just turned his head and looked out the window.The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his face, bringing a bit of warmth, which also relieved the burning pain in his back.
He could feel that Xu Baiyan’s hand was still holding his tightly, and the temperature in his palm was surprisingly hot.
I don’t know how long it took, Xu Baiyan woke up suddenly, looked up and saw Song Xu awake, his eyes instantly brightened and turned red: “Are you awake? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I’ll call the doctor!”
He was about to stand up as he spoke, but Song Xu gently held his hand.”Don’t go,” Song Xu’s voice was still hoarse, but with a bit of a smile, “I’m fine.”
Xu Baiyan’s eyes heated up and he almost cried again. He sniffed quickly to hold back his tears: “The doctor said you should have a good rest and not talk too much.”
Seeing his cautious look, Song Xu felt so soft in his heart.He raised his hand, gently rubbed his hair, and said in a very soft voice, “Have you cried enough?”
Xu Baiyan pursed his lips, nodded, shook his head, and finally said: “I will never be careless again.”
Song Xu smiled but said nothing.
Qing Fengan and Jin Xianling came over. Qing Fengan was holding a thermos bucket in his hand. He and Jin Xianling went back to make porridge specially.”The doctor said you can only eat light food now,” Qing Feng’an put the thermos bucket on the bedside table with a gentle voice, “I made some millet porridge, do you want to try it?”
Jin Xianling stood aside, looked at Song Xu, and said in a deep voice: “Take good care of yourself, I will take care of the business in the store.”
Song Xu nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Xu Baiyan quickly opened the thermos bucket, filled a bowl of porridge, carefully blew it to cool down, and then handed it to Song Xu’s mouth.Song Xu opened his mouth and drank it. The warm porridge slid down his throat, bringing a bit of warmth and dispelling some pain.
Xu Baiyan fed him spoonful after spoonful, his movements were so gentle that he was afraid of hurting him.
The sunset had completely set, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.Jin Xianling and Qing Feng sat peacefully for a while, then stood up to leave, leaving Xu Baiyan to take care of Song Xu here.
There were only two people left in the ward, so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.
Xu Baiyan finished feeding the porridge and tucked Song Xu into bed again. Looking at his pale face, his eyes turned red again: “Song Xu, I’m sorry.”
Song Xu looked at him, suddenly reached out and gently pinched his chin, making him look up at him.”Xu Baiyan,” his voice was very soft but somewhat solemn, “It was just an accident. I don’t blame you.”
He paused and then said: “Be careful in the future, don’t put yourself in danger again, and don’t make me worry again.”
Xu Baiyan finally couldn’t help but shed tears. He nodded heavily and choked with sobs: “I understand.”
Song Xu watched him cry, but his heart felt inexplicably soft.He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and his fingertips traced his cheek with a touch of tenderness.”Stop crying,” he said, “I’m still here.”
Xu Baiyan threw herself into his arms, carefully avoiding his wounds, burying her face in his neck, and said in a muffled voice: “Song Xu, you are so kind.”
Song Xu chuckled and stretched out his arms to hug him. The force was very light, but it had a reassuring strength.
The night outside the window is getting darker and darker, and the lights in the ward are warm.
An accident is like a disaster, but it also brings two hearts closer.
Those feelings hidden deep in the heart are never built up by sweet words, but become hotter and clearer in the protection at the critical moment of life and death, and in the joy of the remaining life after the disaster.
The days are still long, and they still have a lot of time to spend together.
