140,Starry Night
The elevator stopped at the twentieth floor, and Wu Hao took Su Jie into a ward.
Su Jie noticed that there were many patients with extra beds in the corridor. It seemed that there was a serious shortage of hospital bed resources. However, the bed next to Wenwen's bed was empty and no patients were admitted.
Have the patients in the ward already known about HIV carriers? Su Jie thought to himself, while recalling the strange looks the patients gave him in the corridor just now.
"Du Annan asked me to give you the pork rib soup. It should still be hot. Drink it quickly."
Su Jie handed the thermos bowl to Wu Hao, and Wu Hao took out a white porcelain bowl from the bedside table. After carefully scalding it with boiling water, he filled a full bowl and brought it to Wenwen.
"I can't drink so much."
Wenwen is very beautiful, not the gentle beauty of Du Annan's Jiangnan water town. There is a bit of a Sichuan girl's fierceness between her eyebrows. Although she is wearing a large patient uniform and her belly is high, her limbs are still slender and her chin is pointed.
What surprised Su Jie was that she was not depressed, sad, or had lost hope in life as Du Annan said. Su Jie felt that she was just like an ordinary expectant mother, who would act coquettishly towards Wu Hao, the expectant father, and would also
Say 'thank you' to your best friend's boyfriend politely.
If it weren't for the empty hospital bed next door, Su Jie would have forgotten that she was an HIV carrier.
"It's my heartfelt wish!" Wu Hao, half coaxing and half fierce, fed him more than half of the pork ribs soup, and the rest of the bone fragments went into his own stomach.
When he was full, Su Jie also ate dog food. He got up and walked out of the ward, walked to the public balcony, and looked at the dark cloud-covered sky through the glass.
After a while, Wu Hao also came out. His hands were wet. He must have just washed the dishes and chopsticks.
There were many patients sitting on the chairs chatting on the public balcony, but when they saw Wu Hao coming, they all showed frightened expressions and fled as fast as they could, slamming the door of the balcony shut on the way.
"Hey, there is always a benefit to having this disease. You can be very clean wherever you go."
Wu Hao walked to Su Jie and looked up at the night sky. At this time, the dark clouds were thick, and the stars and the moon were hiding shyly.
"You are very optimistic."
Su Jie said: "Wenwen came out because of your optimism?"
"She is a very optimistic person. I just want her to know that she is not alone in this world." Wu Hao said in a low voice.
Su Jie stopped talking. He understood very well that what Wu Hao needed at this time was a confidant, not a conversationalist.
"How much do you know about Wenwen?"
"Not much. Du Annan only said that he disappeared for a while two years ago and then something happened."
"Well, I really don't know much about that."
Wu Hao subconsciously touched his underwear pocket, but found nothing. Su Jie handed him a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Are you looking for this?"
Dr. Meng's Chinese cigarettes were forced on Su Jie in the lounge last time and had been kept in his coat pocket. Unexpectedly, they would come in handy now.
Wu Hao nodded, took out a Chinese stick that he had not smoked for a long time, bit his lip without lighting it.
He said slowly:
"Two years ago, Wenwen graduated from high school. He was only seventeen years old at that time. He went to my city alone, a medium-sized coastal city famous for its textile industry, so there are many processing factories."
"Wenwen entered the factory and was exposed to a lot of bad things, and even met a scumbag."
"I met that scumbag at the AIDS Mutual Aid Association. He was really handsome, and there was an indescribable melancholy in his eyes. Let alone a woman. Even when I saw him for the first time, I felt like this
The man is so handsome.”
"He actually didn't want to harm Wenwen. He just wanted to be like a normal person and find a beautiful girl to fall in love with. Every AIDS patient will go through such a process after getting sick and try hard to make himself like a normal person. No.
Be willing to admit your identity as a patient..."
"But he was so stupid. He didn't even know the ways of transmitting AIDS. He thought that as long as he didn't sleep with Wenwen, he would be fine... In the end, Wenwen was still infected."
"Guess how Wenwen knew she was infected with AIDS?"
Wu Hao suddenly asked, Su Jie thought for a while and replied: "A blood test?"
"No, I told him."
Wu Hao sighed deeply: "The man died. I was responsible for contacting the people around him to check whether any close contacts were infected, and then I met Wenwen."
"I still remember the first time I met her. It was still summer. Wenwen was wearing a yellow shirt, shorts, and sandals, and was eating popsicles at the canteen in front of the factory. I thought this girl was so beautiful at first sight.
"
"I walked up to her, asked her if she knew the man, and then told her that the man was an HIV carrier and that he was dead."
Having said this, Wu Hao bit the cigarette butt, as if he wanted to take a puff of smoke into his lungs and then spit it out.
Su Jie took out a lighter from the cigarette case, but Wu Hao waved his hand: "No, smoking is not good for pregnant women."
The two were silent for a while, and Su Jie asked: "And then Wenwen fell in love with you?"
"Well, I actually take advantage of others' danger to a certain extent. Otherwise, with my status, a good girl like Wenwen wouldn't be able to like me."
Wu Hao smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "Wenwen was very desperate after knowing the truth and had thoughts of committing suicide. I stayed with her and slowly made her give up the idea. Naturally, the two of us became together.
Already."
"In this world, perhaps only AIDS patients understand AIDS patients best. I was accidentally infected with AIDS during a blood draw five years ago, and then actively participated in the local AIDS mutual aid group, where I also learned a lot about AIDS-related knowledge."
"I am Wenwen's half guide, helping her gradually become familiar with this special identity and start living this special life."
Su Jie nodded and asked: "Where is the child? Is it an accident or did you two prepare for the birth?"
Speaking of the child, Wu Hao showed a complicated expression on his face, sighed, and said: "Wenwen asked for it. We made a lot of preparations and did a lot of ideological work, and finally decided to have this child."
"Why, you should understand that for AIDS patients, childbirth is a very high-risk thing, both for the mother and the child."
"How could I not know this? When I was at the AIDS mutual aid meeting, every time there were new members, this was the first lesson."
Wu Hao was silent for a moment, and then said frankly: "I'm going to die too."
"I am not as lucky as Wenwen. When I found out that I was infected with AIDS, the disease was already in the terminal stage. In the past five years, I have been almost harsh on myself, especially after meeting Wenwen. I hope to survive for a few years.
"
"But the doctor said that I can live for up to two years, and in the last year, I will lose my ability to move independently."
"Wenwen wants to leave me a child, and I don't want Wenwen to live alone in this world."
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky slowly moved, revealing a corner of the crescent moon, revealing a twinkling star.
"I just feel sorry for this child and brought him into this world without his consent."
"Hopefully he won't blame us."
"I wouldn't blame such irresponsible parents."
