sunk into the earth

Chapter 65 It's time to break up

The single ward on the fourth floor has recently become the focus of nursing care. The next morning after Cheng Sheng's parents left, a few hospital leaders rushed back to the hospital from outside. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, when I went out, I greeted the doctor and nurse in charge of Cheng Sheng with a hanging face: "This person must be watched carefully, and nothing will happen."

When Zhang Chen passed by the duty room, he could always hear two people chatting about Cheng Sheng, most of which were gossip about his family. Sometimes people in the room would say what his father and mother do, and sometimes they said they couldn't understand this person. Why did you come to see a doctor in our ordinary hospital? Zhang Chen listened for a while by the door, weighed the fruit he just bought in his hand, and walked quickly to the ward.

In the ward, Cheng Sheng’s mother was talking about future plans with Cheng Sheng who was leaning on the bed. She looked much more tired than the first day, with a plain face and no make-up, and her hair was tied casually behind her head, but she still insisted on coming every day to give her son Homemade soup and baked dim sum.

As soon as Zhang Chen entered the door, he greeted Cheng Sheng's mother naturally. Normally, she didn't talk to Zhang Chen very much, but she never spoke ill to him. This attitude always reminded Zhang Chen of Grandma Li, and he really didn't care about it. This kind of ignorance, pretending not to feel something wrong in the atmosphere, put the bought fruit on the table, picked and picked out a bright orange, and sat next to Cheng Sheng's bed after washing his hands, one petal Peel the petals and give them to eat.

Whenever Cheng Sheng's mother fell into an embarrassing situation at this time, she first turned her head away from the two of them, but her son always let out a burst of contented laughter, and sometimes even made a coquettish sound. She hadn't seen her son for many years So satisfied, my heart was sour after hearing this voice, and I couldn't help but secretly turned to look at the two of them.

This turning around happened to see them flirting, two people were caged in the light, one peeled an orange and offered it to the person's mouth, the other held his head up and took it with his mouth, obviously two adult men aged 27 or [-], Occasionally, they have to make trouble with each other without bothering each other.

Cheng Sheng's mother moved the chair to the balcony, sat in the midday sun, quietly looked at the two children opposite, her eyes suddenly became moist for some reason.She herself was also surprised. In a panic, she took a tissue from her pocket and wiped her eyes with her back to the two people.

When the Spring Festival was approaching, two groups of people came to the ward. One group was Qin Xiao and Haiyan. The two came to the hospital to visit Cheng Sheng on weekends. They didn't buy anything and walked in empty-handed. As soon as Qin Xiao saw Cheng Sheng, he said: " I guess you don't lack anything here, so don't buy it to waste."

Haiyan leaned on a cane and sat down next to Cheng Sheng's bed, didn't say anything, just held his hand, and sat quietly with him all afternoon, until it was dark before going out with Zhang Chen.

The first group of people are old acquaintances, but the second group of people is a real accident.

Zhang Chen has always received some urgent calls these days. The person on the other side seemed to be urging Zhang Chen to do something, but Zhang Chen kept procrastinating, and only said to the other end of the phone: "There is no problem with the sound of the first two songs, but the last few First of all, I need to add a few special instruments, I still need to find another musician to record, and I have to put other productions on hold, and I can’t start until next month, but this month can’t work, I have something that I can’t leave.”

Muttering a few words on the other side, Zhang Chen said again: "Performance? It's okay to perform on Saturday, but I have to be back before twelve o'clock. I have to take care of the patients."

Cheng Sheng leaned on the hospital bed and looked up at Zhang Chen who was on the phone. There was a harsh voice coming from the mobile phone he was holding. Zhang Chen moved the mobile phone away, with an expression of impatience or seriousness, and put it down. One sentence: "It's useless for you to blame me any more. I have patients to take care of, and I can't separate myself."

Hearing talking about himself, Cheng Sheng pricked up his ears, but just after hearing a few vague words, "Is it up to you to take care of people's parents? Are you in a hurry to post money?" Zhang Chen immediately hung up the phone, put the phone Throwing it on his own hospital bed, several text messages flashed on the phone screen one after another, but Zhang Chen didn't look at it again.

The next day, the unexpected second call came to the door.At that time, Zhang Chen was about to go out to buy Cheng Sheng the lunch he wanted to eat today, and lowered his head to tell him about the treatment in the afternoon, but just in the middle of the conversation, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor, and then the door in front of him was creaked. Push it away.

Qiyuan stepped on a pair of seven or eight centimeter high heels, and stomped on the floor. When the door was opened, a scent of perfume rushed in with the wind, making her stagger.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw two men talking next to each other in the room. Their postures were ambiguous. For a while, their faces were almost hanging on the ground, and they pursed their lips without saying anything. unusual person.

After finishing working on Cheng Sheng's side, Zhang Chen had the time to talk to Qiyuan, but he was obviously not happy with her coming, so he asked, "Didn't you agree to start next month? Why did you come here suddenly? Who told me you were here?" ?”

"Who else? I'm going to ask Lao Qin, or I'll wait for you to disappear before I come looking for someone?" Qiyuan took out a bottle of water from her bag, drank heavily, let out a deep breath, and glanced at Glancing at Cheng Sheng on the hospital bed, he turned to Zhang Chen and said, "Don't you want to rehearse for Saturday's performance? The organizer of the music festival wants to check the bands that will be performing this year, and they all found me here."

Zhang Chen took off the coat hanging on the chair and put it on, and then asked Cheng Sheng on the hospital bed to ask Qiyuan to go out with him: "Cheng Sheng insists on drinking porridge, I'll go out and buy it for him, you want to discuss business with me Just come with me, and we'll finish talking on the road."

Qiyuan didn't follow him to stand up, but looked up at him, and refused, "How can we talk about things on the road? I'll wait for you here." Having said that, she glanced at Cheng Sheng again, and continued, "Wait After you serve him, let's find a place to talk about business."

This tone made Zhang Chenmi say anything more to her, and said "whatever you want" before walking out of the hospital.

Only Cheng Sheng and Qi Yuan were left in the ward. Qi Yuan sat across from Cheng Sheng's bed, not bothering to hide her curious gaze, and glanced back and forth at Cheng Sheng who was looking out the window with his face crooked.

Of course, Cheng Sheng noticed such a blatant gaze, but he pretended not to know, letting the atmosphere in the room freeze, and only focused on looking at the scene outside the hospital.

After a while, there was a series of high-heeled shoes trampling on the ground from the opposite side. Cheng Sheng ignored him and didn't even turn his neck. Beside the hospital bed, there was a more disturbing movement than before.

Qi Yuanban kicked Cheng Sheng's bed with the toe of her high-heeled shoes, and asked him casually, "You're pretty thin, how many catties are you?"

Cheng Sheng was startled by the movement she made, turned his head suddenly, and met her eyes, a little embarrassed, hurriedly lowered his head, stared at the quilt on his body, and lied about an extra ten catties: "One hundred and two. "

Qiyuan on the opposite side let out a long "oh", retracted her outstretched feet, but did not retract her straight eyes. She looked at Cheng Sheng's thin cheeks for a while, and then turned to his half-exposed collarbone and wrists On the bone, when her eyes moved to the collarbone, she suddenly showed a strange expression, her eyes were glued to Cheng Sheng's collarbone for a long time, then she suddenly smiled: "You don't look like a mother, you are quite a serious person, wearing formal clothes At that time, I really looked like a successful person.”

At this point, she slapped herself on the mouth and laughed at Cheng Sheng: "What am I talking about, you are already a successful person, and the whole family is a successful person."

Cheng Sheng raised his head, knowing that there was something in her words, he didn't avoid her gaze any more, and looked directly at her.

The makeup on Qiyuan's face was decent, neither thick nor light, giving people an illusion of gentleness, not at all as aggressive as what she just said.Cheng Sheng just stared at her like she did to herself, without saying a word, but soon his gaze made Qiyuan on the opposite side feel uncomfortable, she stroked the front of her shirt, slumped her shoulders, no longer Staring straight into the other person's eyes, he tilted his head and said, "I really envy you."

These words made Cheng Sheng stop the small movements of pinching the quilt in his hands. He seemed to understand what the girl meant between the lines. His mind, which was still chaotic just now, was half awake in an instant. He raised his hand resting on the quilt and pointed at his face, then pointed With the hospital gown on her body, her tone became less polite, and she asked her back: "What do you envy me? Envy my sick body? I have to report this illness."

Qiyuan was stunned for a while because of his sudden change of tone, but she looked up and saw Cheng Sheng who was facing her with a wary expression, as if she was a robber with ulterior motives, rushing to grab something from him, watching Looking at her, she let out a chuckle: "Even if someone like you is reported, it won't have any impact, right? Your family can make you suffer?"

After finishing speaking, she leaned towards Cheng Sheng's direction, stared straight at his face for a while, let out an inexplicable "Hey", and asked him seriously: "Why do you have everything? You did it in your previous life. How many good things do you need in this life?"

Cheng Sheng turned his head to the other side, did not look at her face, stared at the white wall and said in a muffled voice, "Am I familiar with you? Don't put your own imagination on me, I don't have as much as you imagined. "

Qiyuan leaned back against the body that had just left the chair, and counted with him with her fingers: "You have all your family background, career, and love, isn't that enough?"

She took a few breaths of her nose, as if she wanted to relieve the resentment in her heart through this action, then stroked the hair on her chest, took a few deep breaths, tried her best to make herself look less embarrassing, and turned to talk about another person: " I've known him for seven years."

She finally got to the point, but because she had just confirmed that her emotions were extremely unstable, she stuttered as soon as she said a sentence, but quickly adjusted, and continued: "How long have you known him? Why?"

This is discussing who both of them knew. Cheng Sheng leaned against the bedside and fell silent for a while. He didn't expect that he would be involved in a jealous scene. He felt absurd, but couldn't help being jealous of what Qiyuan said about himself. On the days of absence, the secret desire to possess rose in my heart, so I deliberately said: "We have known each other for ten years, and we have known each other since the old people. My grandma used to have a good relationship with his family."

Seeing that Qiyuan was stunned when he heard his words, Cheng Sheng was still afraid that the girl's heart would not be blocked, so he gritted his teeth and added: "We have done what we should have done when we were teenagers, and we are each other's first love."

While speaking, he kept observing Qiyuan's expression. First, a look of surprise appeared on that well-made-up face, and then her eyelids that had been tense before suddenly drooped. Seeing her expression, Cheng Sheng once again Open your mouth: "Tell me about your past stories."

Qiyuan suddenly raised her head and glanced at the sick man, her lonely expression disappeared completely, and she sneered, "You're still curious?"

Seeing her bad attitude towards him, Cheng Sheng no longer expected her to tell him anything, just about to say "Forget it", the girl opposite lowered her head again, and suddenly said: "What right do you have to be curious? I had to come here today, isn't it all because of you that our band has been shut down?"

"Why me?"

She looked up and saw Cheng Sheng's expression froze on her face, she laughed again, and before Cheng Sheng could say anything, she asked again: "How long will it take for you to recover from this disease? Our band can't afford you."

This time Cheng Sheng finally understood why she was so angry, but he couldn't say any apologies to her, he just squeezed the corner of the quilt into a strange shape, without saying a word.

Seeing that Cheng Sheng pretended to be deaf and dumb, and didn't answer her, Qiyuan kicked his bed twice, shaking the whole room, so she couldn't let go of her hatred, so she glanced at Cheng Sheng on the bed and looked at him. There was hardly a trace of blood on his face, and he suddenly realized, pointing at him and asking: "Did he make you into such a sickly look?"

As she spoke, she patted her thigh, "I knew that Zhang Chen can always turn people into this way, and I'm no better than you, not only me but others, but we can't blame Zhang Chen, can we? ?”

Seeing Cheng Sheng's face turned completely pale, she became even more excited several times. She leaned forward and crossed her fingers and asked, "I'll tell you the story of Zhang Chen's past, do you want to hear it?"

This question was talking to herself, and before Cheng Sheng could answer, she started talking to herself: "There was a fan in the band before, ah, no, it can't be called a fan of the band, to be precise, it should be called a fan of Zhang Chen. We went on tour for half a year, but Zhang Chen ignored her. Later, she went to Zhang Chen's father and lied to him that she was pregnant with Zhang Chen's child and was going to get married. Isn't that nonsense? Knowing his son, he scolded the girl and kicked him out of the nursing home. As a result, the girl committed suicide at the gate of Zhang Chen's company when she came back, and kept slashing her arm. After a while, the people in the circle can have fun, and they don't care about these crap things. Besides, most people in the circle know what Zhang Chen is like and don't believe in that woman. But their work unit is different. They all think that Zhang Chen is messing with men and women. Still not responsible for other girls, it really took eight lifetimes of bad luck to meet this kind of person, can you blame Zhang Chen?"

Speaking of this, Qiyuan raised her head and glanced at the dazed Cheng Sheng, and continued: "Later, that girl came to our rehearsal room to find someone, muttering, saying that Zhang Chen's father told her that Zhang Chen was gay and didn't like women. Now I’m afraid that even human beings don’t like it anymore, and told her to strangle her heart to death, I didn’t believe her when I saw her crazy appearance, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Cheng Sheng didn't say anything, as if in a trance, Qiyuan waited for a long time but couldn't see how the people on the hospital bed reacted to her story, kicked Cheng Sheng's hospital bed impatiently, and pointed at his wide open bed. He reminded him: "You have a hickey mark on your chest, fasten the buttons. Others will be surprised if they see the effect. They think you won't be able to stay idle even in the hospital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Sheng, who was still in a daze, immediately came back to his senses. He lowered his head and looked at his chest. There was indeed a large hickey mark on it that hadn't faded away. It was him and Zhang Chen who were coming and going on the hospital bed last night. The traces left by the trouble for a long time.After seeing these marks clearly, Cheng Sheng immediately rolled up his collar and buttoned it in a hurry. Halfway through, he heard the voice of the opposite person: "How is Zhang Chen on the bed? He can leave so many marks on you. "

Thinking of something, she covered her mouth and laughed again: "It's really scary to ignore people even if you don't know how to be in bed."

Cheng Sheng raised his head and stared at her gloating face, his expression gradually turned cold: "It's really different from what you think, he's not cold at all in bed."

This is a counterattack to the stories she just said, and Qiyuan heard it. She stayed in the heating room a little hot, took off her coat and put it on her lap, and the expression on her face also fell, and she listened to Cheng Sheng without saying a word. Go on.

"I will always be held in his arms. He forbids me to go out of his sight. Occasionally, when he is in a hurry, the tip of his nose gets sweaty, and I will lick it off for him. He especially likes me like this. The more I become obsessed with him The more I like him, the more he will talk love to me in my ear. You can’t imagine that a person like Zhang Chen can talk love? But he always hugs me and tells me that I am his guitar and keyboard, don’t you Have you known each other for seven years? Do you know what the guitar and keyboard mean to him?" Cheng Sheng saw that the shoulders of the person opposite him were stiff, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he continued with his neck held high: "After I was done, he hugged me to take a bath, and sometimes he took a shower. I want to do it again, sometimes we are both very tired, and we go back to the bedroom together after just a few dashes. He also hugs me when he sleeps. Occasionally I feel panicked, but as soon as I move a little to the side, I will be restarted by him. Pull it back into your arms."

When he finally finished speaking, Qi Yuan rubbed her stiff shoulders, opened her eyes, lowered her head and said, "You are really shameless for describing the bed affairs in such detail."

Cheng Sheng, who was leaning on the hospital bed, answered unceremoniously: "You asked first."

He still wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a series of footsteps in the corridor, and before he opened his mouth, the door beside him was opened by someone outside.

Zhang Chen pushed open the door with a cold air, carrying two takeaway boxes in his hands, and said to Cheng Sheng as he walked in, "The fruit you want and the eight-treasure porridge, I will watch you take the medicine after you finish eating."

The tense atmosphere in the room just now shattered with a bang. Qiyuan straightened her leaning upper body, leaned on the chair and carefully adjusted her long curly hair. Cheng Sheng just wanted to say a few more irritating words aggressively. But he followed the person who came in and swallowed it back into his throat. He just watched Zhang Chen standing aside and unpacking the takeaway boxes for him without saying a word.

Zhang Chen handed him the lunch box as usual and stopped worrying about it. He sat on another chair next to him and chatted with Qi Yuan about rehearsals and albums, but his eyes turned to Cheng Sheng on the hospital bed from time to time. Taking a look, as soon as he saw something on his face, he immediately put aside Qiyuan, who was chatting to a critical moment, and immediately got up to take a tissue from the bedside to wipe Cheng Sheng's face, reminding him: "You How old is it that you can still eat it on your face? Next time you wipe it yourself."

Cheng Sheng raised his head to look at Zhang Chen, then glanced at Qiyuan not far away who was silently watching them from the corner of his eye, and suddenly decided something, suddenly grabbed Zhang Chen's wrist, pointed to his cheek, and whispered towards the other side. The man said, "Kiss me."

Although the volume of this sentence was low, the tone was undeniable, and there was a hint of begging in it. Zhang Chen glanced at him, and turned his head just in time to see Qiyuan who had been staring at the two of them. He understood what it meant. But he didn't say anything extra, he squeezed Cheng Sheng's chin and pressed his cheek before letting go, and then sat back on the chair and said, "Is that all right?"

Cheng Sheng held a lunch box in his arms, freed one hand to touch his face carefully, and smiled contentedly: "If you kiss me every day, I won't get any more diseases in my life."

Zhang Chen, who was next to him just finished speaking, glanced at him, seeing his stupid look, he wanted to laugh, "Then you really don't want to get any more illnesses, I will take care of you."

Qiyuan, who was left hanging aside, seemed to be isolated by an invisible film. She stared at the two people and finally couldn't bear it anymore. She picked up the bag on the table, put on her coat, and stood up. The high-heeled shoes on the soles of the feet stomped on the floor, and they rushed away with their hair shaking, leaving only two people in the room with a "bang" of the door slamming.

Zhang Chen glanced at the door, sealed the lunch box Cheng Sheng handed over and threw it into a plastic bag, turned around and walked out, and said to Cheng Sheng behind him on the way: "Don't play like this next time, that's my good friend. We also have to make music together."

Cheng Sheng took out a tissue and wiped his hands, looked at Zhang Chen's back going out but couldn't stop him, and said something dull, "She likes you, even though she knows we're together and still likes you, don't go Find her."

The hand on the doorknob didn't move, Zhang Chen turned his head to look at him, and said seriously: "I went out to find her to talk to her about work."

Speaking of work, Cheng Sheng didn't say anything, just watched Zhang Chen close the door of the ward.

There was a woman squatting on the stairs at the end of the corridor. She pressed her bag between her chest and knees, and stared out of the window in a daze.After a while, someone patted her on the shoulder, and she ignored it, but soon the people above became a little impatient, stopped touching her, and said, "Stop losing your temper when talking about work."

These words completely ignited Qiyuan's anger that she had nowhere to vent just now. She stood up abruptly, and even the bag in her arms was thrown on the floor, but she didn't even look at the bag on the ground, she turned her head and pointed Zhang Chen's face said: "You still talk to me about work? Who delayed our next album for more than half a year? I fucking thought you had a lot of secrets, and your relationship was with a mentally ill man?"

Zhang Chen opened her hand pointing at him, "Can you speak better?"

"Where did I say something wrong?" When she was angry, her volume doubled again, "Do you know what he just said to me in the ward? He showed me how to go to bed and how to hug him. What is not mental illness?"

The quarrel quickly attracted the nurses, and several people came out of the ward, and waved them away impatiently: "This is the hospital, if the family members have conflicts, go outside and finish the quarrel before coming back."

Before Qiyuan could recover, Zhang Chen grabbed her arm and staggered with him all the way to the gate downstairs.The sun outside seemed to be going out, and it was gloomy. Qiyuan was dragged to the side door of the hospital by him. As soon as she stood firm, she opened Zhang Chen's hand and swallowed, "If you are a girl, you can get a certificate from him. I'm married into a wealthy family, so I sewed my mouth shut and didn't say a word. But you are a man, does your family recognize you? Does he have the right to give you any favors when he is so rich?"

Zhang Chen pulled her to stand under the railing, looked ahead and said, "I don't care."

This answer made Qiyuan lose her mind, and her whole face was wrinkled because of being too excited, and her breathing was not stable. : "You don't care? What does it matter to you how much other people pay? He didn't pay anything. Why do you like him? Where was he when your dad couldn't afford the hospital bill? Where was he when we lived in the basement? Then A man with a watch and a bag will cover our expenses for several years. You don’t have to work so hard if he spends some money casually, but has he ever given you any benefits? Lao Liu and I have been with you for seven years. not him!"

She pointed her finger at her nose, and kept pushing Zhang Chen's shoulder with the other hand as if venting her anger, repeating that sentence over and over again: "You can see clearly, I have been here with you for so many years, it is me! Now we After overcoming all the difficulties, he suddenly appeared to take all the advantages, why? Why?"

She was about to reach out to do something, but her wrist was suddenly held by Zhang Chen, and then she saw that the eyes that were always staring at her in the past were filled with another emotion that was completely different from before, as if to compare her with another A person finally separated.

Zhang Chen's hand holding her wrist was useless, he stared at her for a long time, and finally said: "There is no reason for love, you should look at others."

Qiyuan laughed violently, but the tears flowed out together. She turned her head and wiped the tears with the sleeve of her coat, and said with a sob while sniffling: "After finishing this album, let's break up, if we don't play with you I don't want to do music anymore."

Zhang Chen said: "Okay, then our fifth album will be the theme of farewell, and we will get together and part ways."
