Chapter 91 Fireflies
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes were dull as she stared at the green safety passage indicator light on the wall. After looking at it for a long time, she felt a little seasick.
She looked away and a figure in the distance came into view. Her eyes were tinged with green light, like fireflies suddenly lighting up on a summer night.
The man walked towards her with steady, powerful steps. The sound of his gentle footsteps stepped on her heart. For some reason, her heartbeat was playing harmony with those steps.
When Wen Baijing came before her, she could even see the worry in his eyes.
The strong smell of disinfectant faded a little with his arrival.
Ye Zhenzhen stood up slowly, her red eyes deepened a little, and she stared at the man closely.
Wen Baijing took her hand very naturally, and her cold fingertips revived in his warm palm.
A layer of mist floated between her eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
Wen Baijing stood beside her, looking down at her with dark eyes, and said in a calm tone, "I'm here."
That sentence is better than all the sweet words in the world. My heart, which was about to fall, suddenly reached the shore.
Ye Zhenzhen unconsciously leaned towards him, and the moment she touched his arm, her body gradually warmed up. As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized her throat was a little sore: "Wang You hasn't come out yet..."
Wen Baijing held her hand, secretly applying some strength, and comforted her: "It should be soon, don't worry too much."
Seeing this, Ye Mao quickly stood up, not knowing what to do with his hands.
"Ye Mao, sit down and have a rest." Wen Baijing spoke first, with a rare gentle expression on his face.
"Hey..." Ye Mao listened, nodded obediently, looked at him intently, and asked caringly: "Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?"
The atmosphere between Wen Baijing and Ye Mao was a little strange. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't describe what was wrong. The feeling could only be felt but not expressed in words.
Ye Zhenzhen was startled, her eyes switching back and forth between the two people's faces.
Wen Baijing nodded slightly to Ye Mao and pulled the confused Ye Zhenzhen to sit down. After the two of them sat down, Ye Mao also sat down beside them.
Wen Baijing sat between the brother and sister. Ye Mao silently gathered the hem of his clothes and became visibly restrained.
"Did it delay your work?" Ye Zhenzhen felt a little guilty, afraid that it would affect his work, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Have you eaten dinner?"
"No, don't let your imagination run wild." Wen Baijing patted her and said in a gentle voice, "Have you eaten?"
Ye Zhenzhen's eyelids drooped for a few seconds, then she looked up at him and said softly, "I'm not hungry."
After she finished speaking, she secretly winked at Wen Baijing, and the two exchanged glances tacitly.
When encountering such a thing, I don't even want to drink water, let alone have an appetite for food. Especially Ye Mao, he sat motionless in the chair, occasionally blinking, as if to tell the people around him that he was not asleep.
The nurse pushed open the door of the operating room and shouted tiredly, "Family of Wang You!"
The moment Ye Mao heard the operating room open, he rushed to the door and waited. He said anxiously, "Hello, is Wang You okay?"
The hoarse voice sounded like someone who had smoked hundreds of cigarettes in one breath.
Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen stood beside him, looking at the nurse expectantly.
"The rescue is over. Come and help push the patient back to the ward." The nurse stood inside the operating room door with a relieved expression on her face.
The few people's hearts slowly fell back into their chests, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Thank you, you have worked hard..." Ye Mao's voice rose and fell as he expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Several people thanked the nurse repeatedly and sent Wang You back to the ward with the nurse.
Wang You was lying on the bed, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. She had not yet woken up from the anesthesia, her eyes were tightly closed, and she lay weakly on the bed. Her energy and spirit had been drained away, and she looked much more haggard, like a completely different person.
Ye Mao forced a stiff smile on his face, his lips stuck to his teeth, unable to let go. He smiled for a few seconds, then pursed his lips again, his face full of heartache.
The doctor came to the ward, stood in front of the bed and looked at Wang You. Then he looked at Wen Baijing and the others and said, "Who among you is a family member? Come with me to the office."
Ye Mao stayed beside Wang You, holding her hand tightly and looking at her in a trance.
Ye Zhenzhen replied: "I am."
Having said that, he followed the doctor out of the ward.
Wen Baijing followed closely behind and went to the doctor's office together.
The doctor sat at his desk with a serious look on his face: "What's wrong with you family members? The patient has a congenital heart disease, how dare you let her have surgery in a small clinic?"
Facing the doctor's harsh rebuke, Ye Zhenzhen bowed her head and admitted her mistakes: "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of my brothers and sisters. We must pay more attention in the future..."
"Doctor, is her congenital heart disease dangerous?" Wen Baijing stepped forward calmly and politely inquired about her condition.
The doctor quickly glanced at the two people and raised his hand to steady his glasses. "The patient's ventricular septal defect is more than 5mm, and he needs interventional surgery. The best time for surgery is before the age of ten. If he is older and develops pulmonary hypertension, he will lose the opportunity for surgery."
Ye Zhenzhen's forehead was covered with sweat, and she asked anxiously: "Wang You, is it too late for surgery now?"
The doctor took a sip of tea and just put down the cup, he said, "There are two surgical methods: one is minimally invasive interventional occlusion, which is less invasive and has a better treatment effect, but the cost is relatively high. Domestic occluders cost about 1 to 3 yuan; imported occluders cost about 5 yuan. The patient's defect is not large, so it is suitable for minimally invasive occlusion by internal medicine..."
Hearing that the surgery was possible, Ye Zhenzhen was extremely anxious, "When can the surgery be performed at the earliest?"
Doctor: "Once the patient has undergone preoperative examination and confirmed that he has no other diseases, the surgery can be arranged. Your family members should go back and discuss it carefully and make a decision as soon as possible on whether to perform the surgery or not."
Ye Zhenzhen said without hesitation: "We have decided to have surgery. Can you please arrange the surgery as soon as possible? I will pay the fee immediately."
She was so anxious that she could hardly stand. Wen Baijing held her trembling shoulders and said softly, "Don't panic. I'll go with you to pay the fee."
The doctor clicked on the patient's information, cleared his throat, and stopped the two of them. "Wait, the patient paid 50,000 yuan after being admitted to the hospital this afternoon. The fee is still enough. Don't rush to pay. Wait until the results of the physical examination come out!"
Ye Zhenzhen froze for a moment, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
After leaving the department, Wen Baijing accompanied Ye Zhenzhen to the store at the entrance of the hospital to buy daily necessities needed for hospitalization, and also bought some fruits.
When Wang You returned to the ward, he had already woken up, his eyes half closed, and his breath was weak. Seeing Ye Zhenzhen whispered "sister", Wen Baijing's eyes wandered to her side. He probably recognized her from the last time he saw her in the mall, and his expression was not too surprised.
Ye Zhenzhen insisted on staying in the hospital, but the nurse said that the visiting hours had passed and only one family member could stay with her. Before leaving, she kept telling Ye Mao to call if he had anything and to take good care of Wang You.
Somehow, when things are difficult, as long as Wen Baijing is by my side, the unbearable pain will be diluted a little. It seems that pain will be halved when someone shares it, and happiness will be doubled when someone shares it.
Walking out of the hospital gate, the damp cold air took the opportunity to penetrate into the body. Under the chilly starlight, Wen Baijing took off his coat and put it on Ye Zhenzhen's shoulders.
The moon always hangs in the sky, like an apple bitten by the Jade Rabbit. The clear sunlight illuminates the dark gray night sky, and the sparse stars ignite sparks in twos and threes.
There are also lights on the ground, red, green, blue and yellow. The stars with bright light shine brightly and complement the night sky.
After returning to Guanlanju, Aunt Sun brought out the prepared food and went back to her room to rest.
"Do you know? Xiao Mao told me today that if anything happened to Wang You, he would not live anymore." Ye Zhenzhen counted the rice grains with chopsticks, her tone extremely calm.
Wen Baijing handed her a bowl of soup and said in a gentle voice, "If one day, it is me lying on the hospital bed, uncertain about life or death, I hope you will live a good life. My Ye Zhenzhen should live a sunny and bright life..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh... What are you talking about?" Ye Zhenzhen interrupted him hastily and grabbed his wrist, "Hurry up, pooh, pooh..."
Wen Baijing nodded obediently and followed her in spitting for a long while.
"Oh God, those were just innocent words from a child, you didn't hear them..." Ye Zhenzhen clasped her hands together, looked up at the ceiling, and muttered a prayer devoutly.
"You look just like the old lady in the village..." Wen Baijing couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You're annoying!" Ye Zhenzhen looked at him angrily, puffing up her cheeks. "I just want to tell you that I'm very angry when I see Ye Mao's disappointing appearance. But I'm still a little touched in my heart. In this day and age, an everlasting love happened before my eyes, which was quite shocking..."
Wen Baijing held her hands, his deep eyes full of stars, and coaxed her: "Okay, even if my Ye Zhenzhen becomes a grandmother, she is still very beautiful..."
