Chapter 101

Xiao Feng's words suddenly transported me back to that night in Qi he zhen.

Xiao Feng and I talked about our feelings.

I remembered pouring out all the suffering I had endured to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng listened silently, tears streaming down.

Just then a meteor streaked across the night sky, and Xiao Feng made a wish.

We are both unfortunate people.

Our years of wandering have been in pursuit of happiness.

Actually, in the end, we discovered that this bitterness has already taken root in our hearts.

I stopped reminiscing, looked at Xiao Feng and said: "Xiao Feng, in others' eyes we are happy; we no longer worry about food and drink."

No longer worry about livelihood; our available assets are in the millions.

But many people cannot understand us.

Heh, forget it. Xiao Feng, we cannot mention that we are unfortunate, or else others will laugh at us.

Xiao Feng also laughed,

"Lao Ye also says that to me; what suffering do I have compared to those who can't even eat? I am much happier. Perhaps you are right."

"I want to sleep hugging the money beside me; that too is a kind of happiness."

"It's getting late, Jianqiang, you should rest too."

"No matter what, I will support you."

"Don't be afraid of anything; I will always be by your side."

Xiao Feng's words moved me,

I reached out my hand,

"Thank you for your support. Alright, let's work together to face the challenges."

Xiao Feng generously shook my hand,

then took the materials I gave her and left.

The room suddenly fell silent.

I thought to myself, Xiao Feng has returned; with her support, I have gained an extra strength beside me.

I, Zhaoerhai, am even less afraid of you.

I then lay down on the bed to rest peacefully.

The next morning, I accompanied Xiao Feng to first visit Zhou Wei.

Xiao Feng bought many gifts, mainly to see my foster mother.

Arriving at Li Ming's home,

Qian Niang held Xiao Feng's hand and would not let go,

"Miss, why did you come? I heard Li Ming say you weren't going to Hainan."

Xiao Feng looked at Qian Niang and said: "Auntie, I came specially from Hainan to help my older brother Jianqiang; his company has some matters."

Hearing Xiao Feng come specially to help me,

Qian Niang happily said: "It's great that you came; your older brother Jianqiang has been exhausted these days. Running here and there, with matters at home and at the company, he bears it all alone. You coming is just right; having you help Jianqiang puts my mind at ease."

After Qian Niang finished speaking, she led Xiao Feng to Zhou Wei's room.

He Qing was feeding Zhou Wei water.

Seeing Zhou Wei lying on the bed, Xiao Feng did not speak; tears first streamed down.

Because Zhou Wei and Xiao Feng had worked together at Shenglong Company for a long time, they had deep feelings.

Xiao Feng sat beside Zhou Wei, placing his hand on her face,

gently calling,

"Zhou Wei, Zhou Wei, can you hear me? I am Xiao Feng, I came to see you; can you hear me? I am Xiao Feng."

"Do you still recognize me?"

Zhou Wei showed no response, merely breathing peacefully.

"Sigh." Qian Niang shook her head and said: "I call her two or three times every day; I fear she might lose her soul, which would be bad."

"Er Hai, when will Zhou Wei wake up?"

I said: "Mother, these days you and He Qing have been troubled; have you found a caregiver? Having Zhou Wei stay at your house and constantly attend to him makes me feel guilty."

Qian Niang said: "Er Hai, what are you talking about? The caregiver matter, Li Ming has already contacted; they will come in a couple of days."

"Also, the one who stays with Zhou Wei at night is Ru Meng."

"Actually this child is filial; she just doesn't want to say it out loud."

Hearing Qian Niang say that, my heart felt much more relieved immediately.

Ru Meng being able to care for Zhou Wei at night shows that this child has true filial devotion.

I said to Qian Niang: "Where is Ru Meng? I haven't seen her."

He Qing said: "She went upstairs to rest; she didn't sleep well last night."

Xiao Feng said: "I originally wanted to see Ru Meng, but never mind; let's wait until next time so as not to disturb her rest. Jianqiang, let's go."

We then bade farewell to Qian Niang,

After leaving Li Ming's home, we are going to the Third Hospital of the City to see Wei Dongqing.

In the car, Xiao Feng said to me: "Jianqiang, placing Zhou Wei at Li Ming's home like this is not okay; it will disturb their lives. Li Ming won't say anything, nor will He Qing. Besides, your foster mother is so old, yet she still attends to Zhou Wei."

"How can this continue?"

I said: "Xiao Feng, I understand what you mean; at that time, the consideration was Zhou Wei's safety. Because sometimes, some people are unwilling to let Zhou Wei wake up."

Putting Zhou Wei at Li Ming's home is mainly for safety.

This way I can worry much less. For now it's only temporary.

If after a few days it really doesn't work out, we'll find a hospital and have Zhou Wei stay there.

Xiao Feng said: "You're right, Zhou Wei's safety is extremely important. Because she knows too much, once she wakes up she will definitely be detrimental to some people, so for now we can only keep her at Li Ming's place, which is relatively safe."

I chatted with Xiao Feng, and soon we arrived at the Third Hospital in the city.

At the hospital entrance, Shi Yong said: "You go ahead, I won't go in; inside are all mental patients, seeing them frightens me."

This Shi Yong fears nothing on earth or heaven, yet he's actually afraid of mental patients.

Since he won't go in, that's fine; Xiao Feng helped me into the hospital.

This hospital's facilities are no worse than a prison,

it's all under closed management.

However, inside it's very quiet, with no one shouting or yelling.

We walked to the courtyard; patients were taking fresh air in the hall, each living in their own world, not knowing what they're thinking.

We had already made an appointment in advance,

we met Wei Dongqing at a dedicated reception area, and Wei Dongqing was just as before,

so thin,

Wei Dongqing wore a hospital gown,

his eyes vacant, gazing out the window.

I and Xiao Feng walked in, but he showed no reaction.

Xiao Feng hurried over,

and grabbed Wei Dongqing's hand,

"Dongqing, I've come to see you; are you okay?" Xiao Feng said while crying.

Wei Dongqing turned his head woodenly,

looking at Xiao Feng,

then looked at me,

and spoke,

"Good, very good, we're all fine."

But these words lacked warmth, making one feel chilly.

"Dongqing, you don't recognize me? I'm Xiao Feng. You're beloved, your wife, Dongqing, take a good look at me." Xiao Feng continued saying while crying.

"Who, who are you, who am I, who is he? Hah, none of us are human; I'm a heavenly god, I'm a dragon, whatever Tianpeng..." Wei Dongqing began uttering words that no one could understand.

Xiao Feng cried even harder, her two hands constantly shaking Wei Dongqing,

"Dongqing, please look at me. Dongqing, I'm Xiao Feng, your beloved, the person you love most. Dongqing, we still have to get married, still have to have children. Dongqing, do you really not remember me?"

Wei Dongqing angrily shook off Xiao Feng's hand,

Because Wei Dongqing is a mental patient, their temper is quite odd; I feared he might suddenly harm Xiao Feng, so I hurriedly leaned forward on my cane.

Then Wei Dongqing suddenly stood up, pointing at Xiao Feng and saying: "Move aside, I need to pee; what marriage, what beloved, you're truly crazy."

After saying that, Wei Dongqing stood up and walked toward the outside.

Outside, the male nurse hurriedly helped Wei Dongqing into another room sealed with iron bars, then slammed the door shut with a bang.

Xiao Feng stared blankly at that door.
