C156 (1/2)
The two of them did not speak, neither did they eat, treating each other like air. The light in the ward was on until late at night. Under the light, Yu Meng's face looked tired. During the long night, the two bored people seemed to have nothing to do.
Yu Meng was starving and her stomach was growling. However, she forced herself not to beg. She didn't want to beg this ”wooden person” anymore. She didn't even know what to say to him. What else could she say? Her heart was dead. Under the smoke of disappointment, Yu Meng's sky was covered in a dense fog, and she no longer had any illusions.
Whether he was a man or steel, Tang Tianbao also felt hungry as his chest stuck to his back. Tang Tianbao couldn't hold it in. He didn't understand why he didn't eat. If Yu Meng didn't eat, then why didn't she eat?
Tang Tian Bao placed his face in front of Yu Meng's. He blinked his left eye at her and said, ”Let's go. I'll take you out of here.”
The 'wooden figure' suddenly opened its mouth, causing Yu Meng to jump in fright. Her entire body trembled as if she had been struck by cold water, but no sound was produced.
”Are you going or not?” Tang Tianbao said to the dazed Yu Meng.
Yu Meng suddenly felt as if the scene in front of her eyes had happened before. It was very familiar to her; it was so far away, yet so close to her. She froze for a moment. At this moment, Tang Tianbao had already pulled her hand.
”Where to?” Yu Meng asked in surprise.
”Go out and eat something. I'm starving. ” His face no longer had the worry from before, and now he was completely filled with innocence and brilliance.
”The nurse is coming to check up on us in a while …” As Yu Meng spoke to here, she suddenly realized that she still remembered that Tang Tianbao had also pulled her to skip class. At that time, she was worried that her teacher had come back to look for her. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the world had changed. The two of them were no longer the simple thoughts of a child.
Yu Meng didn't understand what Tang Tianbao was thinking. He was still as stubborn as ever. Perhaps it was her stomach playing tricks on her, but Yu Meng was unable to endure the hunger. She just couldn't accept Tang Tianbao's quick transformation. A second ago, she was still a 'dead log'. How did she become so lively and lively now? What a strange man he was. Yu Meng loved him more and more, but the more she loved him the more she couldn't see through Tang Tianbao. He was like the air, untouchable but real.
Women in love all have no opinions, they can't stand the coaxing of people they like. Yu Meng nodded.
Tang Tianbao decided to be good to Yu Meng. He was his goal. He wanted to be a good person in Yu Meng's eyes and even in her heart. When he told her his evil thoughts, he hoped that she would accept it.
Yu Meng slowly stood up from the bed. Her body was a little stiff, probably because she had been lying in bed for too long. There was no need to be hospitalized for a slight cold. However, she lied to Tang Tianbao and Duan Hong about her pregnancy, which was why Duan Hongqiang asked her to stay in the hospital. She thought that her 'evil scheme' had worked, but she didn't think that Tang Tianbao would not care about her pregnancy. Since Tang Tianbao was so dead set on disliking her, then why did she have to suffer in a hospital bed? Why not go mad and play to your heart's content? Today, we will get drunk today. Tomorrow, we will worry about tomorrow. Who cares?
Yu Meng got off the bed and changed into her shoes. She wore a pink T-shirt with her towering breasts. Tang Tianbao took off his jacket and handed it over to Yu Meng. ”It's cold outside. Put it on.”
Yu Meng glanced at Tang Tianbao. The man in front of her was completely different from the man just now who had acted like a heartless wolf. Yu Meng couldn't believe that the two of them were actually the same person. Yu Meng did not refuse. She accepted the 'warmth' from Tang Tianbao. Although it was already late spring, Chaozhou's evening still felt a little cold. As they walked out of the hot, stuffy room, there were a few idle people in the corridor. Their eyes were bloodshot, but they couldn't sleep, their faces were filled with anxiety and fatigue. This was the hospital, and no one wanted to come here. There was only one step between life and death, and only one step between wealth and poverty. In the blink of an eye, everything seemed to have changed. Some people cried, but no one laughed. The hospital was filled with a strange smell, perhaps of a corpse, perhaps of disinfectant, perhaps of objects vomited by a patient... It was tiresome and disgusting.
After exiting the clinic, a few people immediately surrounded them. Their appearances could not be seen amidst the shadows. Yu Meng subconsciously pulled on Tang Tianbao's arm.
”A taxi?”
”A taxi?”
Everyone spoke in unison.
Tang Tianbao didn't pay attention to these people as she pulled Yu Meng forward. Black and hazy, a gentle breeze blew past, blowing on one's forehead, causing one to feel full of spirit. The number of vehicles on the road gradually decreased, and the LED advertising lights that hung in front of the shops on the roadside constantly flickered, untiring. The shadows of the trees shimmered in the breeze, like the ghostly fires of a graveyard. If it weren't for Tang Tianbao, Yu Meng wouldn't have the courage to walk in this kind of night alone. Holding hands, they walked in the cool wind, as furtive as two animals that come out at night to hunt for food. The sky was cold and lonely, but Yu Meng's heart was burning hot. Being with the person she liked, even if it was just a second of true feeling, she would still feel happy in her heart. Since being with the person she liked was already destined to never be with this man, then cherishing her present situation was the most important thing. Tang Tianbao pulled Yu Meng as they walked south along this straight road, neither fast nor slow. It was as if they were taking a stroll instead of going out to look for food.
”Little Treasure, you're great!” Yu Meng couldn't help but ask. She felt that her words were no different from trash talking, but she still wanted to say something. She could sense that she didn't have much time with Tang Tianbao, so she wanted to find something to say. She had seen through it, she had seen through it, everything was no longer important, everything was no longer important, she had decided. Yu Meng only made up her mind when Tang Tianbao held her hand. She wanted to leave this city that she had known before. She wanted to go to a strange city and start a new life. After all these years, she was tired. When a person gets tired of love, the first thing they think of is getting married. They don't want to live a person's life. They don't want to live a romantic but scarred life.
The knot in Yu Meng's heart had been opened, so her heart was also open. She would never have to think about all that vague disturbance again. A moment of happiness is a moment, no matter what tomorrow is like, just fight for a moment.
Tang Tianbao was silent for a moment. He was considering whether he should start a conversation with Yu Meng or not. Why not talk? Didn't he say that he would treat her well?
Tang Tianbao had his own way of thinking. He wanted to work hard for his own way of thinking. He opened his mouth and spoke in a natural tone, more like teasing Yu Meng. He then asked, ”What's wrong with me?”
”You? Let me think about it. ” She thought back to the time when they had first fallen in love. Back then, they were still students, and as a student, their love was carefree and carefree. They would never know what the next day would be like, nor would they ever have to worry about rain or snow. At that time, they were happy only because they were happy today. At that time, they were simple and didn't have any schemes. Growing up meant thinking, but God laughed when humans thought about it. Wouldn't that be making people worry?
Yu Meng recalled, and said, ”You, you know how to take care of people, are a considerate person. Do you remember? At that time, you always bought me some snacks. Those snacks were basically what I liked to eat. At that time, I felt that you were the best person in the world to me. Even better than my parents, because sometimes my parents don't even buy me that much food. ”
As they walked forward, their minds were reminded of childhood.
