Slow-Witted - Chapter 56

[Chapter 55]

After Lu Qi’an left, Fu Jia lost all strength and fainted to the ground.

Well-meaning passers-by found him, took him to the hospital, and contacted his family everywhere. But they searched and searched, but they couldn’t find Fu Jia’s parents. Only Teacher Liu was willing to come to the hospital to take care of him after hearing the news.

Seeing Fu Jia’s tragic situation in the ward, Teacher Liu regretted it, and blamed herself for not being with Fu Jia these days. If she had been, maybe Fu Jia would not have been tortured.

She paid for Fu Jia’s medical expenses and stayed in the hospital to take care of him. Fu Jia fell into a coma for a few days, and she stayed in the hospital for a few days.

When Fu Jia woke up, the first thing he saw was Teacher Liu sitting beside his bed. During the past few days of coma, he didn’t completely lose consciousness. He knew that someone was taking care of him, but he didn’t have the energy to open his eyes every time he woke up, so he didn’t know who that person was.

I haven’t seen her for a few days. Teacher Liu has become haggard, and her hair, which is meticulously combed on weekdays, is also messed up. Seeing that Fu Jia woke up, she was more awake than ever before. She happily sat up straight and said to him: “You are awake. Is there any discomfort? The teacher will call the doctor to see you, please wait for me.”

Fu Jia tried to make a sound, but failed, so she nodded to her.

Teacher Liu touched his hair, praised him as a good boy, and got up to call the doctor.

After the doctor came for an examination, he told Mr. Liu: Fu Jia is slowly getting better.

Teacher Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat back beside Fu Jia and said, “You will get better soon. You can eat liquid food today. Is there anything you want to eat? The teacher made it for you.”

Fu Jia thought about it seriously, but her mind went blank .

He was not hungry, not at all.

Seeing his slow reaction, Mr. Liu felt extremely uncomfortable. Things shouldn’t have turned out like this. She still remembers how Fu Jia was when he entered school. A University is not impossible, but he was expelled from the school at the most important time in his third year of high school, and he was beaten severely for no reason.

Teacher Liu regretted it in his heart, but showed a relaxed expression on his face, and said, “I’ll make it for you, I remember when you used to eat with me and Qi An, you weren’t picky eaters at all, that’s great, you’re not picky eaters The children are all in good health.”

She wanted to comfort Fu Jia with these words, implying that he would recover soon. But when she said the word “Qian”, Fu Jia suddenly frowned and trembled slightly.

“What’s wrong?” Teacher Liu asked anxiously, “Is the wound hurting?”

Fu Jia gritted her teeth and shook her head.

Teacher Liu was worried and wanted to call a nurse, but Fu Jia gently held her back.

That hand was on a drip, and it didn’t make much effort.

Teacher Liu was worried and anxious, sat back, carefully put his hand in his palm to check, and said: “If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don’t be brave.”

Fu Jia looked at her and nodded quietly.

In the next few days, Fu Jia’s health improved day by day, and he gradually recovered his ability to take care of himself.

Everything is slowly getting better, the only bad thing is that Fu Jia has become quiet. Whenever Mr. Liu sat by the bed and chatted with him, he just listened quietly, humming at most. Only when Mr. Liu asked him important questions and he had to answer them, he would speak.

Teacher Liu was worried about him, but the work in the school was very busy. She only left for a few days, and things piled up, making her very busy. In order to get away, she hired a nurse to take care of Fu Jia, and she came over every evening to bring Fu Jia the dinner she made by herself, and hurried back after watching him finish eating.

Such days continued steadily for a few days. Fu Jia suddenly left the hospital one morning, not only did not tell Teacher Liu, but also did not tell the nurses.

He returned to the home in the family area of No. 6 Middle School, squatted on the ground and carefully wiped away the traces of his beating left in the room, and then tidied up his own things in the room, and took them out of the room.

At the beginning, this house was rented by Lu Qi’an, and Fu Jia lived in it for so long, but he never knew the inside story. He asked around for the landlord’s contact information and wanted to return it, but he was told that there was no landlord at all. This house was bought by Lu Qi’an half a year ago, and the rent payment only happened in the first two months. . Fu Jia handed the passbook to Lu Qi’an, always thinking that even if he couldn’t pay all the rent, he would at least share part of it, but he didn’t. He thought he was working hard with Lu Qi’an during these days, but it wasn’t. It’s just self-deception under the blessing.

Holding the passbook and a small amount of cash, he sat at the desk to do the calculations, wrote a letter, and put it and the passbook in the same envelope. After finishing this, he held the envelope with one hand and dragged his luggage with the other, left the family area of No. 6 Middle School and returned to the hospital.

The nurse found him missing early in the morning and searched for him for a long time. Seeing him come back, she yelled and pulled him to look up and down: “Where have you been, why didn’t you say anything? I called your teacher, and she will come right away!”

Fu Jia didn’t answer her words, abruptly He asked calmly, “Excuse me, how much did my teacher ask you to take care of me?” The

nurse felt that his question was strange, but it was not a secret, so he answered honestly.

Fu Jia went to the nurse in charge of him again and asked him about all the expenses Mr. Liu had paid for him since he was admitted to the hospital. Adding up the money for the nurses, he came up with a number that exceeded five digits.

As Fu Jia expected, the money in his passbook was far from enough. So he wrote in that letter that he would pay back the insufficient money slowly and transfer it to the passbook one by one. He thanked Mr. Liu for his help, and he will remember this kindness forever.

He handed the envelope to the nurse and said, “My teacher will be here later, please give this to her.”

The nurse didn’t dare to pick it up, and waved her hands again and again: “No, you can give it to her later, she’ll be right away.”

She didn’t want to pick it up, and Fu Jia didn’t force her, so she put the envelope on the hospital bed, not even a second later. Stay more, and leave with luggage without looking back.

Fu Jia only left one hundred yuan in cash for herself, and couldn’t afford to live in a hostel or rent a house, so she found a night watch job in an Internet cafe. The Internet cafe provided him with breakfast and dinner, and provided him with a small room, which just fit a wire bed and a wardrobe.

Fu Jia was on the night shift, so he didn’t use his room very much. He sat at the counter all night and watched it, and leaned on the sofa for a while when he had nothing to do, that’s all.

During the long gaps during the day, Fu Jia did not dare to let herself be idle. He searched all the middle schools in the city except the No. 6 Middle School, and asked if the school could accept him, but he got a negative answer. He even went to several private secondary schools, and this time someone was willing to take him, but the fees were prohibitively high and he couldn’t afford them.

After tossing and turning for a few days, I found nothing.

Fu Jia accepted her fate.

He has also worked hard, but his hard work has not been rewarded. This is the most desperate. In fact, he doesn’t like studying at all, and he doesn’t want to be a great moral example. He is a bad person in essence, and he knows that he studies hard and lives actively, not out of his own good character, but just an investment to get Lu Qi’an.

However, he worked hard and discovered how wonderful it is to have a positive life. Efforts may not necessarily lead to results, but the efforts themselves will make people shine.

Finally, he thought he was starting to shine. His running appearance matched the sun perfectly. The sun lifted him up and made his whole body warm, without a single shadow.

Suddenly, it was all gone.

It doesn’t need to be counted, just use all to describe it – he lost all of him.

If a person is hollowed out, what is left of him?

Fu Jia found a sales job for the long day. He doesn’t care whether he has worked hard or not, and whether he has time to rest, as long as the place of work does not dislike his low education, is willing to let him stay, and gives him even a little bit of room for improvement.

He used his work to fill his time and rarely slept. He was so sleepy that he couldn’t hold on, so he went to lie down in a small room for a few hours when the night shift in the Internet cafe was over.

He dared not sleep soundly for fear of dreaming about someone.

One day a month later, when he was going to work in an Internet cafe at night, a colleague told him, “A woman came to you during the day and said she was your teacher.”

Fu Jia was not surprised, and took out the Cheap cigarettes, lit expertly, brought to the mouth, sucking the smoke deeply into the lungs.

“What did you tell her?” He asked while breathing out mist.

Smoking is easy to learn, and he picks it up quickly.

The colleague smiled triumphantly: “Of course I said you are not here. I also skipped class to come to Internet cafes. At that time, my teacher also arrested me all over the city.”

Fu Jia hooked the corner of his mouth, handed him the box of cigarettes at hand, and said: “Thanks, if she comes again, please continue to say that I am not here.” The

colleague happily took the cigarette and said, “Of course, don’t worry, I also feel that she will come again. I want me to tell you that she won’t ask for your money, that you can ask her for help if you have any difficulties, and that if Lu… Lu or something knows that you are not doing well, she will be sad.”

Fu Jia vomited Breathing the smoke, he hid his expression in a haze.

“Understood, thank you today, let me treat you to supper.”

“Ah? Really, then I’m not welcome!”

“You’re welcome, you order.” The

colleague said thank you, and picked up the counter Call for food. He asked Fu Jia what to eat, but Fu Jia didn’t respond, and he didn’t respond after calling several times.

He muttered strangely, leaving him alone.

In the middle of the night, Internet cafes have little business, and there are only a few sporadic machines sitting in front of customers. Fu Jia was bored and didn’t want to play computer games, so he leaned on the sofa and fell asleep slowly.

Afraid of anything, he dreamed of that person.

In his dream he had everything. The man hugged him and let him lean on his shoulders. Although he was usually serious, there was always soft warmth in his eyes. This man still kissed him, and every time they kissed, he felt like he was dying of excitement, and he wanted this man to kiss him a thousand times, and this man answered him, yes.

After an unknown amount of time, someone violently slapped the table and woke him up.

“Hey, are you okay?” The man sat at the seat closest to the counter and looked at him strangely.

Fu Jia froze for a moment, raised her hand to touch her cheek, and touched the tears all over her face.

“It’s okay.” He stumbled to his feet and ran to the bathroom.

He was still crying.

He had everything in his dream, but he had nothing when he woke up. Even in a dream, he clearly realized this and felt a huge sense of gap.

It is impossible for him to forget Lu Qi’an, as long as he closes his eyes, he can remember Lu Qi’an’s hug and kiss. He always felt that he was still attached to Lu Qi’an’s body, that he was on skin-to-skin contact, and he could even feel his illusory temperature from the air.

It was too painful, he would rather never get it than lose it after getting it.

He hugged his head and wept silently, the complicated emotions were intertwined, and finally turned into a thought –

he would rather nothing had happened.

He would rather not have seen Lu Qi’an in the courtyard when he was young, and he would rather be lonely and helpless along the way, without being able to touch the light.

He would rather never meet Lu Qi’an in his life.
