Zhan Weiyang was terrified.
He first stared blankly and frozen in place for a few seconds. Then, when he saw Zhan Pengcheng vomiting blood, he rushed to the bed, slapped Zhan Pengcheng’s face with his hand, and shouted loudly, “Dad! Dad!” He wanted to wake Zhan Pengcheng up.
Zhan Pengcheng groaned as if in pain.
Zhan Weiyang was trembling with fear. He tried to cover Zhan Pengcheng’s mouth with his hand, but his palm soon became sticky and hot. When he retracted his hand, tears came out of his eyes.
He stood up, turned around in place, and took out his mobile phone from his pyjama pocket without caring about the blood on his hands.
Zhan Weiyang called Pei Qing. While waiting for the call to be connected, he kept stamping his feet in place, unable to control the slight trembling of his body.
Fortunately, Pei Qing answered the phone. Her voice was unclear as if he had been woken up from a deep sleep, “Yangyang?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “My father vomited blood.”
Pei Qing’s voice suddenly became clear, “Are you two at home? Is Uncle sober?”
Zhan Weiyang cried, “He’s drunk.”
Pei Qing immediately said, “Call 120, dear, hurry up.” He didn’t know the specific situation on Zhan Weiyang’s side, but when he heard Zhan Weiyang crying, he knew that Zhan Pengcheng’s condition must not be very good. If he asked in detail, it would probably take up too much time, so his first reaction was to ask Zhan Weiyang to call an ambulance.
After that, Pei Qing was worried that Zhan Weiyang would not be able to explain clearly, so he said, “I’ll call 120 for you too. I’ll hang up first and call you back later.”
Then Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qing hang up the phone. He still remembered what Pei Qing said and dialled 120 with his mobile phone.
While waiting for the ambulance, Pei Qing called Zhan Weiyang again.
Pei Qing asked about Zhan Pengcheng’s condition and told Zhan Weiyang, “Don’t be afraid.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m so scared.”
Pei Qing said, “Don’t be afraid. When the ambulance comes, you will go with it to the hospital, do you have money? Do you have any money? If the doctor asks you to pay, you pay, got it? I bought the earliest air ticket and will be back with you tomorrow morning.”
Zhan Weiyang seemed not to hear Pei Qing’s words. He kept squatting beside the bed and staring at Zhan Pengcheng with his eyes wide open. His breathing was about to stop for fear that Zhan Pengcheng would spit out blood from his mouth again.
He didn’t remember when he hung up the phone with Pei Qing. When the ambulance came, he stumbled and climbed into the car. He sat with the medical staff in fear and anxiety. He forgot to wear his coat and didn’t have time to change his shoes. Fortunately, when he was about to leave, the neighbourhood security guard who came in with the ambulance reminded him to lock the door.
The emergency hall of the hospital was still crowded with people late at night. Zhan Pengcheng was sent to the emergency room to stop the bleeding.
Zhan Weiyang followed behind at a loss and kept hearing a buzzing sound in his ears. The emergency doctor handed him a few receipts, asked him to pay the bills, and said that he would arrange hospitalization for Zhan Pengcheng.
The doctor saw Zhan Weiyang take the bills but didn’t say anything and couldn’t help asking, “Is the patient your father?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
The doctor asked again, “What about your mother?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t know.”
The doctor was a little worried about him, but at this time, the nurse was urging him outside again, so the doctor had to leave in a hurry. Before leaving, he said to him, “You’d better ask your family to come over. Your father’s brothers and sisters will do.”
But Zhan Weiyang didn’t know who to call. Grandma and Auntie Luo were not there, and Pei Qing and Zhan Weiguang went back to school; he didn’t know his father’s friends, and his father’s brothers and sisters were not in this city.
Zhan Weiyang stood there holding the receipts in his hand and heard the buzzing sound in his head getting stronger and stronger. He felt scared, just like when he thought he was about to turn into a tree, and his whole body fell into an uncontrollable panic.
He suddenly wanted to find a place to hide.
Zhan Weiyang stared at a pot of green plants in the corner of the emergency room. He envied the plant because he only needed to stand quietly without thinking or doing anything. The white light above his head shone down, and Zhan Weiyang felt that he was actually a fortune tree at that moment. His head was empty and blank, and everything around him became farther and farther away.
At this moment, Zhan Weiyang heard something in his ear. It was not very real, but it was faintly hitting his eardrum.
He didn’t understand what the sentence meant, but he heard the name ‘Zhan Pengcheng’.
Who is Zhan Pengcheng? Zhan Weiyang felt a headache. He remembered that Zhan Pengcheng was his father, and then someone repeated the sentence, and the meaning gradually became clear. Zhan Weiyang heard the sentence, “Who is Zhan Pengcheng’s family member?”
The person who shouted was a nurse with a loud voice and an urgent tone.
Zhan Weiyang was like being suddenly pulled back to reality from a dream. Everything around him became noisy and vivid again, and those blurred figures began to become clear.
He recalled his father lying on the bed, vomiting blood. He was afraid that his father would die, so he called an ambulance and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
The nurse shouted again, “Who is Zhan Pengcheng’s family member?”
Zhan Weiyang raised his hand that was holding the document and hurriedly replied, “I am his son!” He couldn’t let his father die.
Pei Qing rushed to the hospital near noon when Zhan Pengcheng had already been admitted to the gastroenterology ward.
He only brought a simple travel bag and walked into the ward in a hurry. He was too worried about Zhan Weiyang. He still remembered Zhan Weiyang’s panicked cry and was afraid that Zhan Weiyang would not be able to deal with the current predicament.
In the end, when he walked into the ward’s door, he saw Zhan Weiyang sitting next to Zhan Pengcheng’s bed and eating.
Zhan Pengcheng had woken up. He was lying on his side, with one hand stretched out of the quilt and receiving an infusion. He was pale but kept his eyes open and looked at Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang didn’t notice Pei Qing. He was holding a paper lunch box and disposable chopsticks. He took a bite of rice and stopped, saying to Zhan Pengcheng, “The doctor said you can’t eat.”
Zhan Pengcheng nodded and said weakly, “Dad will just watch you eat.”
Pei Qing noticed that Zhan Pengcheng’s eyes were red when he finished speaking.
Zhan Pengcheng then noticed Pei Qing and asked in surprise, “Why are you here?” He thought Zhan Weiguang would be the first to come back.
Zhan Weiyang turned his head back suddenly and shouted, “Qing ge.”
Pei Qing walked in, put her hand on Zhan Weiyang’s shoulder, patted his face, and said, “Eat the meal first, dear.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him for a while, then sat down and continued to eat the greasy lunch box.
Pei Qing stood by the bed and talked to Zhan Pengcheng. Zhan Pengcheng was too weak and fell asleep not long after talking.
After finishing his meal, Zhan Weiyang took out his lunch box and threw it into the big trash can at the end of the corridor. When he returned to the room, he met the nurse who was changing the medicine for Zhan Pengcheng.
The new medicine was in a full bottle, and it would take a long time to finish the infusion.
The ward was a double ward, with a curtain in the middle, so they couldn’t see each other.
Zhan Weiyang walked to Pei Qing and suddenly remembered something and asked softly, “Have you eaten?”
Pei Qing didn’t have time to eat, but he still said, “I have eaten. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded and looked at Zhan Pengcheng, who was soundly sleeping.
Pei Qing suddenly reached out and hugged him, saying, “Are you scared?”
Zhan Weiyang quickly raised his hand, hugged Pei Qing’s waist tightly, nodded, buried his face in his chest, and didn’t want to lift it up for a long time.
Pei Qing pressed his neck with one hand and said, “It’s okay, gege is back.”
Zhan Weiyang said softly, “En.”
