    Chapter 67 “As long as you are all well, mom is not afraid of anything”^…

    Cheng Cheng suppressed his voice and turned to look at Mu Shiyue who was standing aside: “Is there any way to increase the chance of him waking up?”

    Mu Shiyue stared blankly at the young man with messy hair and dull eyes in front of him, his lips moved, and he swallowed the words “I can only lie in bed and be a vegetable”.

    After being silent for a long time, he spoke softly, with a hint of unbearable hope in his tone: “Let the people he knows well talk to him more, maybe his consciousness can overcome the shackles of sex.”

    Cheng Cheng nodded slowly, raised his hand to wipe away the tears, and said in a tight voice: “Doctor Mu, you can go, you are no longer needed here.”

    That night, Cheng Chengsheng sat with Wei Zhi all night, his weak but steady heartbeat lingering in his ears, and he stayed in a daze until dawn.

    Early the next morning, he immediately asked the hospital about the transfer, but received a negative answer.The other party told him that Wei Zhi’s current condition might cause problems such as heart failure and infection during the transfer, and that it was too far to transfer to country S. He couldn’t bear such a bumpy situation.

    Cheng Cheng was silent. Wei Zhi had a work certificate and could stay in the hospital, but he only had a three-month tourist visa. He would return to China when the time was up and could not stay long.

    He Rui was equally troubled on the side, and then he thought of someone.

    “Xiao Cheng, I’m going to ask the boss’s partner this time, Mr. Richard. He should have a way for you to stay with Xiao Mint.”

    Cheng Cheng nodded lightly: “Okay, please, thank you.”

    Sure enough, Richard had always felt guilty because of Wei Zhi’s incident, and immediately agreed to apply for residence permits for Wei Zhi’s wife and son.

    On the day of moving back to China, Cheng Cheng stood in front of Wei Zhi’s hospital bed, leaned down and kissed his lips, and skillfully scrubbed his body and washed his hair.He knew Wei Zhi’ai was clean and gave him a bath almost every two days this month.

    He caressed Wei Zhi’s closed eyes affectionately, put his warm fingertips against his eyelids, and said in his ear: “Brother Wei, I will go back to China to pick up our child. You must be good these days, and the nursing staff will help you turn over. I have already told you, you wait for us.”

    Cheng Cheng dragged his heavy suitcase and as soon as he opened the door, Qiu Yao immediately ran downstairs, frowning tightly and shouting with worry: “Brother Xiaocheng!”

    The stumbling little Mint also moved very fast with her short legs, shouting “Mom, Mom,” and threw herself into his arms.

    Cheng Cheng hugged the two warm little bodies tightly, and the blood in his body seemed to flow again.

    Little Mint doesn’t understand anything yet, but Qiu Yao is already thirteen years old, half a grown-up child, and has his own ideas.

    Cheng Cheng explained to him seriously: “Qiu Yao, Uncle Wei is sick and hospitalized now. He is in K country and cannot wake up for the time being. I want to go there to take care of him. Are you willing to go with us? You have your own good friends in Pujiang school. If you don’t want to go, I will come back to see you every month. If you miss us, you can come and visit us. If you are willing to follow us, I will help you rearrange your school in K country and will not delay your homework.”

    Unexpectedly, Qiu Yao did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked straight at Cheng Cheng and asked, “Brother Xiaocheng, what about you? Are you not going to college in Pujiang anymore?”

    Cheng Cheng was suddenly stunned.

    After Wei Zhi’s accident, he immediately contacted the teacher in the school’s Academic Affairs Office and went through the suspension procedures, but he never seriously thought about this issue.He can take a semester off or two semesters off, but he cannot stay off school forever.

    Qiu Yao quickly grabbed Cheng Cheng’s hand and said in an urgent and firm tone: “I don’t want to leave Pujiang. I believe brother Xiaocheng doesn’t want to leave either, and Uncle Wei definitely doesn’t want to leave here either. Let’s take Uncle Wei back, and I can take care of him with you! But you can’t give up your university, which you got after working so hard for so long.”

    Cheng Cheng looked at Qiu Yao’s eager eyes and was shocked to realize that the timid child at the beginning was really growing up and becoming more sensible.

    He was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly: “You are right, we cannot give up.”

    Now Wei Zhi’s body cannot withstand long-distance travel and he cannot return to China, but in half a year, when his condition stabilizes, he will definitely be able to return to Pujiang.

    Qiu Yao smiled instantly and hugged Cheng Cheng’s arm happily: “I’ll wait for you at home!”

    In K country, Cheng Cheng and Xiao Mint finally settled down. He found an apartment less than 500 meters away from the hospital where Wei Zhi was working. It had complete water and electricity, and he paid a deposit of one to three.

    The landlord was a newlywed couple, and they agreed to deposit one to pay three. When signing the contract, the couple enthusiastically gave him a pack of wedding candies.

    They were about to embark on their honeymoon, and they didn’t know when they would be able to come back. They thought it was a pity to keep the house empty, so they might as well rent it out to get more income.

    Cheng Cheng looked at the wedding candies on the table, but his heart was heavy.He looked down at the ignorant little Mint in his arms, and couldn’t help but think of his agreement with Wei Zhi, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

    Will their wedding still happen?

    Little Mint seemed to notice her mother’s sadness, and obediently moved closer to Cheng Cheng, drinking milk while looking at him eagerly.

    Cheng Cheng touched Xiao Minmin’s thick black hair and said softly: “My little friend Wei Chuanxing, it’s getting late, it’s time to go to bed.”

    Lying on the bed, holding the warm little mint in his arms, Cheng Cheng felt sleepy at all, and there was one thing that kept weighing on his mind.

    He needs to find someone he can trust to help take care of Little Mint.He is only one person and has no head or six arms. He has to take care of Wei Zhi in the hospital and Xiao Mint at the same time. It is really difficult to take care of everything.

    After much thought, a suitable candidate came to his mind.

    In the middle of the night, while it was daytime in country S, he called Shen Pingjun and told her what had happened recently. He asked her if she had a stable job now and if she was willing to come to country K to help him take care of his children.

    “… Pingjun, don’t worry, the monthly salary I pay will definitely not be lower than your current job, and food and accommodation are all included. I really have no choice. I really need someone I trust to help me take good care of Little Mint.”

    “Cheng Cheng, I understand.” Shen Pingjun’s voice was a little vague, with a hint of melancholy, “I was just too surprised just now. I didn’t expect that you already have a child.”

    After a moment, she laughed again: “You have already paid for your food and accommodation, and you can still go to country K. You can’t find such a job even with a lantern. How could I not agree?”

    Cheng Cheng showed his first smile since Wei Zhi fell into coma, and laughed out loud: “Thank you so much, Pingjun!”

    Shen Pingjun chuckled and said, “I just decided to quit smoking for your little Mint, you have to thank me.”

    .

    In the following days, Cheng Cheng spent most of his time in the hospital.

    Every few hours, he would help Wei Zhi turn over to prevent him from getting bedsores.We hired a professional masseur to give Wei Zhi a massage every morning and evening to promote blood circulation.In the afternoon, as long as the weather is good, he will move Wei Zhi’s hospital bed to the open space in the corridor so that he can bask in the sun and feel a little sunshine.

    Wei Zhi’s hair gradually grew out, and people at the hospital advised Cheng Cheng to cut his hair so that it would be easier to wash his hair.

    But Cheng Cheng resolutely refused. He often touched Wei Zhi’s smooth black hair gently, and while combing it gently, he talked to him nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, I won’t cut it if no one advises me to do it. You love to be beautiful the most, so why should I be willing to cut your hair? I will tie it into braids for you when it grows longer.”

    “Little Mint misses you too. He came to see you last time, but you didn’t respond when he called you, so he got angry and didn’t want to come this time. But it’s okay, I will always be with you. I’ll talk to him when I get back.”

    “Do you think I’m verbose, but Dr. Mu has said that I must talk to you non-stop in order to stimulate your brain activity and wake you up quickly. I often wonder if one day I will wake up and you will suddenly stand in front of me and tell me, ‘Actually, I lied to you before, and I have already recovered after the operation.’ What should I do? Should I hug you in surprise or cry in shock? What kind of reaction do you want me to have?”

    Although Wei Zhi’s hair had grown longer, Cheng Cheng had his hair shaved to a square inch. On the day he arrived at the hospital, everyone was shocked. Several nurses looked around his head and said bluntly, ‘It’s such a pity.’

    Cheng Cheng embarrassedly touched his cold head: “It will be easier to take care of him this way.”

    Even He Rui was shocked when he came and asked, “Xiao Cheng, why did you shave your hair like this?”

    “It’s a bit expensive to shave your head here. I shaved it myself. It’s not bad. I had this hairstyle when I first got home. Have you forgotten?”

    As Cheng Cheng spoke, he fed Wei Zhi’s mouth with the beaten rice. He took one mouthful and spat out half a mouthful. The soup flowed down the corners of his mouth and was all stained in his bib.

    He was not impatient at all and carefully wiped Wei Zhi’s mouth clean before feeding him the next bite.

    In fact, with Wei Zhi’s current situation, he could have been given nutrient solution directly or had a gastric tube inserted to feed him, which would save worry and effort.But feeding semi-liquid food can exercise the patient’s chewing function and help prevent muscle atrophy and brain degeneration.It’s just that it’s too troublesome to feed them one bite at a time, so most family members choose the former.

    He Rui stood aside, watching this scene, sighing in his heart, Xiao Cheng was really the person sent by God to save his boss.

    He put several bags of wet wipes and a thick quilt he had brought on the table, and asked doubtfully: “Xiao Cheng, will you be staying in the hospital recently?”

    Cheng Cheng calmly scraped away the food that Wei Zhi had vomited out: “Well, the temperature has suddenly dropped recently. The doctor said that the body of a comatose patient will sense it before the consciousness. There may be convulsions at night, and there may also be a cold. It will be difficult to deal with a fever.”

    “Aren’t there caregivers taking care of you at night?”

    “I can’t trust the nurses in Country K. According to my observation, people in Country K cheat more and more at work.” Cheng Cheng sighed and asked He Rui, “Secretary He, why are you here suddenly this time?”

    “Oh, the project here is about to be completed. I’m here to supervise the progress and make sure nothing goes wrong. This is a project that the boss finally negotiated. Those of us who implement it must be serious and responsible, and we must not let down his hard work.”

    Cheng Cheng’s thoughts drifted away.It turned out that more than three months had passed since Wei Zhi fell into a coma.

    He put down the bowl in his hand and walked to the window to stare. The fiery red maple leaves had fallen all over the ground. The pedestrians on the street in the distance were all wearing thick windbreakers and walking in a hurry, showing a bit of desolation.

    On a cooling night, Wei Zhi indeed developed symptoms of convulsions. His body was shaking violently, making the whole hospital bed shake.Cheng Chengcheng, who was a light sleeper, woke up all of a sudden. He was so frightened that he immediately pressed the call bell and called the doctor.

    In the next few days, he didn’t dare to sleep anymore. From time to time, he would touch Wei Zhi to see if he had kicked the quilt, felt if his forehead was hot, and listened to see if his breathing was steady.

    Fortunately, after careful care, the disaster was finally avoided. Wei Zhi did not have a fever or other complications.

    Big Mint was very lucky, but Little Mint was not so lucky. He accidentally caught wind and cold, had a fever and vomited. The child had a fever of over 40 degrees and was admitted to the hospital.

    Cheng Cheng had to take care of Xiao Mint and was afraid that Xiao Mint’s disease would be transmitted to Wei Zhi, so he could only ask the nurse to take good care of Wei Zhi and not go there himself.

    Little Mint’s face was so red that she didn’t even have the energy to cry. She lay in her mother’s arms and stared in confusion, breathing heavily.

    Cheng Cheng accompanied him to fetch water and squeezed his little arms and legs, feeling full of guilt.

    After taking care of Wei Zhi, he inevitably cared less about Xiao Bo Mint. Shen Pingjun had to take care of children during the day, cook and do housework, and was very tired. It was normal for him to sleep too soundly at night and not notice the child kicking the quilt.

    Little Mint opened her eyes slightly, weakly grabbed Cheng Cheng’s chest, coughed twice from time to time, looked at Cheng Cheng’s guilty eyes, raised her head to comfort her mother: “Mom, I’m sorry.”

    “It’s normal for Little Mint to be sick. There’s no need to tell me you’re sorry.”

    Little Mint touched her mother’s tangled hair and said, “Mom is so tired.”

    Cheng Cheng smiled, but his eyes were a little hot. He hugged Little Mint tightly and said softly: “Mom is not tired. Taking care of Little Mint makes Mom very happy. Taking care of Dad makes Mom happy too. As long as you are all well, Mom has nothing to fear.”

    “Mom is so kind.” Child Wei Chuanxing leaned against his mother again and closed his eyes smelling the familiar smell.

    Cheng Cheng held Little Mint in his arms, his eyes finally couldn’t help but turn red.

    He secretly thought in his heart, how great it would be if his Big Mint could say “I’m sorry” to him like this, even if it was just an unconscious whisper.

    Finally, this wave of wind and cold crisis quietly passed, and Little Mint returned to his lively appearance. Cheng Cheng took the children to the park, outdoors, or to the library to read picture books.

    It happened that Shen Pingjun’s mother passed away during this period. Her stepfather did not care about her mother, and her ashes are still placed in the crematorium.She relented and returned to China to handle the funeral arrangements so that her mother could be buried in peace.

    Cheng Cheng didn’t stop her, he just told her to be careful along the way and handle her funeral properly.

    In the next few days, he and Little Mint lived in a world of two. They put aside the trivial matters in their hearts and took Little Mint with peace of mind to explore this strange city and enjoy this rare peaceful time.

    Cheng Cheng’s mood calmed down again. He stewed eggs, rice cereal and vegetable paste at home and brought them to the hospital. As soon as he entered the door, he was hit by a distinct smell of urine.

    He was stunned. The nurse didn’t know where he had gone. Wei Zhi’s changing pad and urine bag had not been changed. His body looked like it had not been washed for several days, and it exuded an unpleasant smell. His hair was stuck to his scalp in strands, greasy and knotted, and no longer as supple as before.

    Wei Zhi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, shouting “oh oh oh” unconsciously, his brows furrowed tightly, his face pale, and his expression looked very painful.

    Cheng Cheng suppressed his anger with a gloomy face, and first helped Wei Zhi change the wet sheets and quilt, and then washed his hair and bathed him.He touched Wei Zhi’s obvious ribs. It was obvious that no one had fed him well in the past two weeks and he had lost a lot of weight.

    What is even more distressing is that the skin is worn out at the most prominent bone protrusion of the shoulder blade, and tissue fluid oozes from the flushed and moist dermis.The most serious problem was on the side of his buttocks, where bedsore pits were embedded in his sacrum. The skin on the surface had begun to fester, and yellow-green and dark-red pus flowed, mixed with a fishy-sweet smell of putrefaction.

    Cheng Cheng gently leaned Wei Zhi in the special bathtub, wiped his body bit by bit, and washed. The grievances, self-blame, and heartache accumulated in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he suddenly broke down and cried.

    He pressed his face tightly against Wei Zhi’s shoulder, and the hot tears slid down his cheeks, flowed into Wei Zhi’s neck, and scratched the glands on the back of his neck.

    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” Cheng Cheng cried and apologized choked with sobs, “Brother Wei, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I didn’t keep an eye on the nurse. I knew he would be lazy, but I gave you to him with confidence. I’m sorry for you…”

    The sanatorium department of this hospital is not equipped with a dedicated doctor to do ward rounds. Usually there are only a few nurses who are about to retire here. In their eyes, it is not a big deal as long as the patient does not die.

    Wei Zhi seemed to be affected by Cheng Cheng’s emotions. His closed eyes began to tremble slightly, and he shed tears slowly, unable to stop them. Cheng Cheng sobbed and raised his head, looking at this scene in surprise, and then he smelled the smell of mint.

    It was a soothing pheromone, and Wei Zhi was actually releasing soothing pheromones unconsciously!

    Cheng Cheng tried hard to hold back his tears, and brought his nose close to his glands to smell and kiss, feeling the familiar smell infatuatedly, as if to say “Xiao Cheng, don’t worry.”

    He hurriedly helped Wei Zhi take a bath and put on clean clothes, and immediately called a doctor to treat his bedsores.He dialed Mu Shiyue’s phone without stopping and told him urgently that Wei Zhi cried today and released pheromones.

    After hearing this, Mu Shiyue said with a bit of relief in his tone: “This is a very good sign. Comatose patients often have such reactions, which means that they are trying to perceive external people and emotions, and are also releasing their own emotions. You continue to chat with him more, talk to him more, observe closely to see if there are any other changes in him, and tell me immediately if there is any situation.”

    “Okay.” Cheng Cheng hung up the phone and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

    He watched the doctors treating Wei Zhi’s wounds, quietly stepped aside, called the nurse, and dismissed him in a cold tone.

    He immediately contacted He Rui and asked him to help teach this lazy caregiver a lesson. He couldn’t let him go so easily.He would never allow someone to neglect Wei Zhi like this.

    The doctors busily treated the wounds and calm returned to the ward. Cheng Cheng lifted the quilt and saw Wei Zhi’s tense arms. When the doctor turned his body just now, Cheng Cheng saw that Wei Zhi was resisting other people’s contact.

    He pressed his thumb against Wei Zhi’s curled palm, pressed his stiff joints with his other hand and began to rub, muttering to himself: “You hate staying here too, but you can’t go back now. If you can get better and control your excretion, I will take you home, how about it?”

    The muscle knots were as hard as stones. Cheng Cheng slowly increased his strength until his arms trembled slightly and finally showed signs of relaxation.Suddenly, Wei Zhi’s fingers twitched without warning, clasping his palm tightly like an electric shock.

    “Brother Wei, relax.” Cheng Cheng soothed softly, “I know you want to go home, and I agree. Didn’t I just say that I will take you away when you can urinate on your own? Don’t worry, no matter what others say, I will take you home.”

    Cheng Cheng massaged it for a long time, like a craftsman carving a wood carving, following the movements of the muscles to smooth out the stiffness bit by bit.After finishing everything, he leaned on the edge of the bed and took a breath, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

    “Brother Wei, I’ll sleep next to you for a while while you rest. I’ll feed you later.”

    Cheng Cheng slept in a deep sleep. The sanatorium was already quiet, and for the first time, Wei Zhi didn’t make any sound. When he woke up, he still felt his head was heavy.

    When I opened my eyes, I saw that the room was dark and the sky was completely dark.

    “Ah, why did you sleep for so long!” He hurriedly got up and washed his face, and said to Wei Zhi who was lying on the bed, “Are you hungry? I haven’t given you anything to eat in a day.”

    Just when Cheng Cheng picked up the bowl and spoon and walked to the bed to feed Wei Zhi, he was suddenly frightened by the scene in front of him and took a few steps back. The spoon in his hand almost dropped to the ground.

    Wei Zhi’s eyes actually opened!

    He stared straight at Cheng Cheng, with Cheng Cheng’s figure clearly reflected in his amber eyes, but his eyes were empty and blank, without any focus, like a newborn baby, full of strangeness and ignorance about the world, as if he didn’t know him at all.

    “Wei Zhi?” Cheng Cheng took a few deep breaths, leaned closer and called his name, “Can you hear me? If you can, just blink.”

    “Tick-tock-tock”, the hour hand was turning, but Wei Zhi still had no reaction.Cheng Cheng lowered his head in disappointment, but this should be a good sign, at least he could see his eyes.

    “Forget it, if you don’t recognize me then don’t recognize me. Let’s eat first.”

    After Mu Shiyue heard the news that Wei Zhi had opened his eyes, he immediately rushed to the hospital and performed a series of detailed examinations on Wei Zhi.

    But after the examination, he still shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: “He still has no consciousness of his own. In his current state, he just opened his eyes unconsciously and did not really wake up. You can closely observe his excretion. If there are signs of excretion at regular intervals, it means that his consciousness is slowly recovering. You must tell me immediately.”

    Cheng Cheng nodded. After Mu Shiyue left, he stroked Wei Zhi’s hair and looked into his eyes: “You have to be more upbeat. Little Mint has grown up. He misses you. He talks to me about daddy every day, but if he comes, I’m afraid that you won’t respond and hurt his heart again.”

    After opening his eyes, Wei Zhi’s upper body functions were slowly recovering, and Cheng Cheng could push him out for a walk.

    He always wrapped Wei Zhi up like a ball, exposing his eyes and nostrils for ventilation, for fear that he would catch a cold.When nothing happened, he and Wei Zhi would hold hands and sit on the bench in the back garden of the nursing home, squinting in the sun.

    Cheng Cheng held Wei Zhi’s hand, but the warm winter sun was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep, and the hand he held slowly loosened and slipped.

    At this moment, Wei Zhi suddenly shouted “oh oh oh”, his voice urgent and urgent, like a protest and a call.

    Cheng Cheng opened his eyes and helped him untie his scarf with a smile: “Isn’t it comfortable to bask in the sun? Hey, look, there is a little bird standing on the branch. Isn’t it cute? Do you want to tell me this?”

    Wei Zhi was still yelling “uh uh uh” in an incoherent manner, his eyes darting around without knowing what he was looking at.

    His upper body began to shake violently, and he became more and more agitated, and his gloves were rubbed off.

    “Keep your voice down, there are still people taking a rest.” Cheng Cheng picked up the gloves and put them on again. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched Wei Zhi’s, he grabbed two fingers tightly.

    At the same time, Wei Zhi’s barking also stopped.

    “So you want to hold hands.” Cheng Cheng smiled and intertwined his fingers. “This is called holding hands. Okay, let’s hold hands like this.”
