Chapter 18 The Seventeenth Departure
"Chen Weitian, get up and have breakfast."
"Um, got it, let me freshen up first."
"Oh, come on, you can't be like this all the time at school, right?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
"What do you mean by 'I don't know'?"
As I was answering my mother's words, I walked towards the bathroom. The mirror in the bathroom is much larger than the one in the dormitory, and much brighter too. I looked at myself in the mirror, with my fluffy hair. I picked up the toothbrush and squeezed out toothpaste. It was only when the sound of brushing my teeth echoed that I felt the taste of life.
I didn't ask anyone what was wrong with me. Was I afraid? Ha, ignorance is indeed bliss.
But I know that I must have a serious illness. I'm not stupid. Not to mention the pain I felt that day, my mother had already explained everything when she came to this hospital.
However, it doesn't matter anyway. If I am destined to die one day, then let me not know and let death be a sudden surprise.
"Is there moss growing on your teeth? You've been brushing for so long."
"Huh? Do mothers really say these kinds of things about their sons?"
"You're already so grown up, there's nothing you can't say."
"Since you know that I'm already this old, why did you come here?"
"The doctor asked us to come and handle things. Medical expenses cost money."
"Oh..."
"I paused for a moment, then whispered."
"Thank you."
What?
"It's nothing."
"I heard it, why are you suddenly saying that? Suddenly becoming more sensible."
"Ha, can't you pretend you didn't hear it?"
"Why?"
"Because that's how it is in TV dramas."
In the afternoon, Gao Zhengli brought me my vocabulary, along with some test questions.
"Owe me a dinner"
"Ah? Why?"
"Help you carry books"
"So stingy, four years of friendship"
"So what, you always ask me to bring dinner for you"
"You...do you play games?"
"Okay."
The days in the hospital seem endless, and I can't see or hear any possibility of being discharged. How many days have I stayed? Over a month, I guess?
I look at my parents who are struggling to stay strong, and I don't know what to say or do to alleviate my guilt.
My childhood friend Gao Zhing always comes to accompany me and there are also other friends who occasionally come to visit me. My bed was moved to a place near the backyard cherry blossom garden at my mother's request. That hospital room also has three beds, and different people with different appearances and identities always come. There is a boy who had a bone injury, a girl who got heat stroke, a child with a high fever, and an old grandfather who developed stomach problems.
The boy said he wants to become an excellent basketball player, so he often doesn't go home or go to school to play basketball.
The girl said her grades are always poor and she can't think of a solution.
The old man asks about my affairs, but doesn't talk about himself.
On the day the little child's fever broke, his mother smiled very happily. The relaxed atmosphere made me feel much more comfortable.
Most of the visitors come and go in a hurry. We can't chat for long or say much, and their stories are jumbled and unclear.
It turns out that hospitals don't have patients every day, and not all hospitalized patients have serious illnesses. In that case, maybe the world outside is safer than we think. Perhaps I'm being too optimistic.
I haven't experienced any severe symptoms again, just undergoing various tests and treatments day after day.
Heart cancer sounds scarier than it actually is, I thought I would be in excruciating pain every day and have difficulty even walking.
"Mom"
"What's wrong?"
"There is something I want to tell you"
She turned around and looked at me.
I proactively refused the chemotherapy next week and all subsequent hospitalizations. My mom didn't get angry at me this time, she smiled and said to me:
"Have you made up your mind?"
I nod.
"Where do you want to go then?"
I'm taken aback. I definitely can't go back to school now, and I absolutely can't go home either. Of course, staying here is also out of the question.
"Do you want to be an elementary school teacher?"
I shook my head
"Still stubborn like this"
She stood up, there was leftover noodles on the table. She walked beside me, I looked into her eyes, there was no sadness inside
"So do what you want to do."
The next day, I was discharged from the hospital. Gao Zheng came to see me on the day I left, and he showed off his graduation certificate, which made me so angry that I beat him up again.
I and my mom finished the last train together, I got off in the middle of the journey, and then rented a house in this city. Is there any difference between this city and the one where my university is located? Hmm... The buildings here are taller and have more style.
"Chen Weitian, what are you going to do in the future?"
"I won't tell you."
"Um... Is this how you answered when Auntie asked you?"
