    Chapter 103

    “The plane caught fire after hitting a flock of birds, and the accident ultimately killed 179 people.”

    “A fire broke out in a residential building and 55 people were killed in the fire.”

    “A test train crashed into it, killing 11 people.”

    “There is someone in the company next door who worked overtime for 17 hours in a row. He died of overwork. He is only 35 years old. There are older people and younger people.”

    “Quickly, someone has fainted on the platform and his heart has stopped. Find someone to rescue him quickly.”

    “Did you know that our high school monitor passed away? He was said to have been stabbed to death by a mental illness. He was only 28 years old.”

    Natural disasters, man-made disasters, diseases, accidents, people die every day, regardless of gender and age.

    Why do you think you will never die when you are still young?It is clear that these deaths not only appear in the news media, but some are around us. Those same young and lively faces are gone in the blink of an eye.

    I don’t know if the brain is out of protection, but it ignores all the deaths that pass before its eyes.Now that death is approaching, he is going to die too.

    Is it fear?There is no time to fear, or in other words, the moment death comes, it is too late to even fear.

    Are you unwilling?There is no need to be unwilling. Death is so powerful and inevitable that it is not his turn to be unwilling.

    Is it regret?There is no regret. If you always live your life according to your own will, you will have no regrets.

    So what is that trace of reluctance and what is the only regret? Otherwise, why do you think life at the age of 33 is too short?

    Oh, it’s because he hasn’t lived happily and unscrupulously.In order to have a better and more stable future, he has been on the right path. For this reason, he must restrain his hands and make careful decisions.

    But he has no future.

    If he knew that his life was so short, Chen Shilu thought, he would not be so right, he would want to be more happy.

    As he thought, he followed the light in the distance and moved forward.He didn’t know if he would eventually lead to heaven. He only felt that his footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, and his body was getting heavier, as if he wanted to fall to hell.

    The guiding light in front of him also went out, which made him extremely panicked. He wanted to open his eyes, open his eyes, open…

    A white room, with doctors and nurses talking around, and an empty bed next door.Chen Shilu raised his hand to block the light in front of his eyes. It turned out that he was not dead, he was in the hospital.

    “Doctor…”

    As soon as he stretched out his hand, the doctor caught it: “Wake up, let me check your pupils again.” He just finished looking into the patient’s eyes, but he didn’t expect the patient to wake up immediately, and he raised his flashlight to shine again.

    After the doctor finished taking the examination, he instructed Chen Shilu to perform a series of actions and asked some simple questions.

    Seeing that his movements were normal, his logic was clear, and his answers were fluent, the doctor smiled: “It’s nothing serious. You just fell into a coma caused by a slight brain contusion. You will be fine when you wake up. You can go for a brain CT to make sure that the scope of the contusion has not expanded.”

    Chen Shilu grabbed the doctor’s clothes with his backhand, his breath a little unsteady: “Where is Chi Huang? We had a car accident and were hit by a big car. Did he come with me? How is he? Is he okay?”

    “I don’t know about this. You were transferred from the emergency department. I haven’t received any patients transferred with you…”

    Before the doctor finished speaking, Chen Shilu sat up.The movement was so violent that he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, the doctor caught him in time: “Slow down, you are still in danger. Brain tissue injury is not a trivial matter. Lie down quickly.”

    “No, I want to know how Chi Huang is doing. Doctor, is he still alive?”

    “Don’t worry, you can’t get emotional now. I’ll go to the emergency room to help you with questions later.”

    At this time, the door of the ward was knocked open and Fu Lei hurried over. He rushed to Chen Shilu’s bed and said, “I heard that you were hit by a car. I’m almost dying. Are you okay? Are you okay?” As he said that, he lifted the quilt and saw that Chen Shilu’s limbs were still intact, and he was slightly relieved.

    The doctor and the patient’s relatives and friends explained: “He has a concussion, so don’t touch him. The rest is just skin abrasions, nothing serious.”

    Fu Lei patted his chest, as if he was in shock: “That’s good, that’s good. What’s going on, Alu, how could you be hit by a car?”

    When Chen Shilu saw Fu Lei, he grabbed him as if he were a savior: “Go to the emergency room and help me ask Chi Huang how he is doing now.”

    “Chi Huang?”

    “Yes, we were together when the car accident happened.”

    Seeing that Fu Lei still wanted to ask questions, Chen Shilu interrupted him: “You go and ask about the situation first, and I will tell you what happened when I come back.”

    Chen Shilu waited anxiously for more than ten minutes, and finally waited for Fu Lei to come back.

    Fu Lei told him: “I said he was sent to the operating room.”

    “Sent to the operating room? What’s the specific situation?”

    “The nurse said he was covered in blood when he was brought in, and he was sent to the operating room for resuscitation. He must be very serious.”

    Upon hearing that Chi Huang was in such critical condition, Chen Shilu’s eyes darkened again.

    The doctor saw this and blamed Fu Lei: “What’s wrong with you? You’ve already told me about the patient’s condition. You can’t be stimulated now.”

    Chen Shilu’s fainting state lasted only two seconds, and he immediately woke up anxiously.He called Fu Lei: “Where is he being rescued? Please take me to see him.”

    The doctor stopped: “You must lie in bed and rest…”

    “I want to see him now!” Chen Shilu raised his voice and collapsed, “He did this to save me. I want to see him for the last time!”

    The doctor looked at him for two seconds, then turned to Lei and said, “Go rent a wheelchair and push him there.” He then gave him the order, “After that, I’m going to do a brain CT scan. Try not to make the patient emotional. It’s not good for him.”

    Fu Lei pushed Chen Shilu to an operating room, where Chi Huang was undergoing surgery.

    Seeing Chen Shilu staring motionlessly at the red light of “Under Surgery”, Fu Lei was full of questions, but couldn’t ask them.

    In the end, he couldn’t stand it anymore, so he put his hand on Chen Shilu’s shoulder: “Since he is in the hospital, everything will be fine. Are you hungry? I’ll buy you something to eat?”

    Chen Shilu turned around, with red eyes and a choked voice: “After being rear-ended by a truck, the car was out of control. It was my side that hit the mountain directly. It was Chi Huang who finally turned with all his strength and allowed me to avoid the direct impact. As a result, he hit…” He lowered his eyelids, already unbearable, “…if he died, if…”

    “No, he won’t die. Nowadays, even the dead can be revived in hospitals. Don’t think too much.” Fu Lei has never been good at comforting people with thoughtful words. Chen Shilu usually comforts and enlightens him when he encounters anything. When he saw that Chen Shilu was so out of proportion, he also panicked.When he panicked, he didn’t know what to say. The whole preface and follow-up were completely inconsistent, “The doctor said you can’t get excited. Calm down. Alu, who do you think Chi Huang is? He’s a racing driver!”

    Seeing Chen Shilu raise his face to listen to him, he was bald for a long time, and finally an idea came to him: “Accidents like racing drivers training for competitions are commonplace. Chi Huang has encountered it countless times, and he will definitely be fine.”

    “Really?” Fu Lei was right. Chi Huang was a racing driver and he couldn’t be judged by ordinary people’s abilities.But he was a motorcycle racer, not a car, so he still couldn’t rest assured.

    Seeing that this could reassure Chen Shilu, Fu Lei vowed to make it up: “Really, they will also conduct accident simulation teaching and deliberately let the big car hit them, just to practice their emergency response ability.”

    Chen Shilu’s mind was so confused that he couldn’t think clearly. He still instinctively doubted it when he heard such words.He called Fu Lei: “Give me your phone and I will check the driver’s daily training.”

    Fu Lei hesitated for a long time: “The doctor said you have to rest now, and it’s best not to look at your phone.”

    “The doctor said this, why don’t I remember it?”

    “I think you should listen to the doctor.”

    “They say the doctor didn’t say…” Before he could finish his words, the “in operation” light went out. The two of them turned their heads and stared at the door at the same time. Fu Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

    Soon there was movement from the door, a hospital bed was rolled out, and Chi Huang was on the bed.

    He had woken up from anesthesia, and he never expected that the first thing he saw when he came out of the operating room was Chen Shilu. This made him involuntarily curl up his lips and greeted him happily: “You woke up so soon?”

    The two people waiting here were stunned at the same time.

    Chen Shilu reacted and asked Fu Lei to push the wheelchair to follow: “Aren’t you about to die?”

    Seeing his red eyes and the tip of his nose, Chi Huang became even more happy. He simply smiled and asked Chen Shilu: “You thought I was going to die, and you cried?”

    His indifferent and frivolous tone simply angered Chen Shilu: “I asked you how your health is now.”

    The nurse on the cart said, “Don’t worry, it’s not life-threatening.” Chen Shilu just breathed a sigh of relief when the nurse said again, “It’s just that his left arm and leg are broken, and a few ribs are cracked.”

    Chen Shilu’s heart arose again. The horrifying sound of cracking bones he heard at that time turned out to be from Chi Huang’s body. No wonder he didn’t feel any pain at all.I thought I couldn’t care less about the pain, but I didn’t expect that I wasn’t hurt at all.

    Chi Huang asked him: “What about you, are you okay?”

    “I’m fine.”

    “He had a concussion, and the doctor said he shouldn’t get excited. He thought something was wrong with you just now, and he was very excited,” Fu Lei said.

    “Stop talking, I really have nothing.” His injuries were nothing compared to Chi Huang.Then he thought that it was just to avoid getting him hurt that Chi Huang acted like this, and he had no shame to say how serious he was.

    “Hello, Brother Lei.” Chi Huang greeted Fu Lei, “I’m sorry to call you over. Chen Shilu is in a coma, and I’m injured and can’t take care of him. Apart from you, I don’t know who to look for as his friend.”

    “Did you call me that phone call?” Fu Lei was shocked.

    “Didn’t you hear my voice?”

    “No, I thought it was the hospital calling me.”

    “I also called the ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance, I also called the traffic police.” Chi Huang told them, “The traffic police said that the truck driver was solely responsible. He was tired and fell asleep while driving. However, he was the most seriously injured and he was self-inflicted.”

    Chen Shilu and Fu Lei looked at each other, both of them were shocked.How can someone still do so many things in that situation? Is this the physical fitness of a professional racing driver?

    Listening to his chatter, he was so energetic that Chen Shilu was a little worried: “Aren’t you tired after talking so much? Does the wound hurt?”

    “No, I don’t feel anything.”

    The nurse answered: “After the operation, I injected you with long-acting local anesthesia to relieve pain, so that you can have a good sleep tonight. You’d better take it easy and don’t think that it’s okay if it doesn’t hurt.”

    They followed Chi Huang into the ward. Fu Lei was surprised: “Why are you back?”

    Several nurses moved Chi Huang to the empty bed next to him. Chi Huang looked at Chen Shilu, put his finger in front of his mouth, and whispered: “My situation needs to be kept secret. It is not convenient to live with others. The single ward is a bit lonely. Let’s be patients for two days.”
