Chapter 31: After Waking Up

I learned from Yan Yan that Jian Wei had woken up. I only felt that my brain was already hypoxia, and the rate of my heartbeat was increasing sharply. After a long time, I said: "Yan Yan, say what you just told me again."

Yan Yan's emotions still did not calm down. She said intermittently: "Zhaoyang...you heard it right. Vivi really woke up. Just a few minutes ago...you come to Shanghai quickly."

I responded and hung up the phone, and turned to Le Yao, but because of my excitement, I was unable to convey to her the news that Yan Yan had just brought me."

She looked at me with confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Zhaoyang?"

I finally replied: "Jane Wei...she woke up!"

Le Yao subconsciously pressed the position of her heart, and was obviously deeply touched by this news. During the four months when Jian Wei was in a coma, all the people who cared about understood how torment it was to be disappointed in hope and rekindle hope in disappointment. She finally said to me: "Why are you still standing?... Go to Shanghai to have a look!"

At this time, I was completely despaired after being drunk. The desire to go to Shanghai suddenly became stronger. I opened the passenger door and sat on it. Le Yao was not slow. After getting on the bus, she quickly turned the direction, avoided the small pile of soil in front, and accelerated directly along the direction of the extension of the railway tracks towards an overpass not far away.

The car quickly got on the highway. Because of the night, I couldn't feel the scenery outside the car window changing. My mood gradually calmed down in this scene that seemed to be fixed. Finally, I imagined the scene when I met Jian Wei again. Has anyone told her everything that happened after she fell into a coma?

While thinking intently, Le Yao asked me chattingly: "Zhaoyang, what do you think Jian Wei will be in when she wakes up?"

I was caught off guard and stared at her side face for a long time before replying: "I can't say it, maybe I feel like I'm a rebirth."

Le Yao nodded with emotion and said, "Well, who has experienced such a great disaster will change more or less. I hope she can use this to figure out some things. Sometimes being too paranoid is really not a good thing..." She said this for a brief moment and smiled, "I didn't like her before, but this time I still want to have a good chat with her. I have to tell her that as long as a woman raises her head and walks forward, she will walk out of a new world, such as me... I am really living a good life now!"

I smiled without saying much. Compared to whether Jian Wei had changed when she woke up, I care more about her recovery because she was in a coma for too long, and her body inevitably had sequelae. I don’t want to indulge too much in the ecstasy of her waking.

......

The night was already deep enough to approach the dawn of the next day. Le Yao and I finally arrived at the hospital. When the elevator door opened, the entire floor was surprisingly quiet, with only the faint corridor lights accompanying us. I saw Yan Yan standing at the end of the corridor, and trotted to her side. I didn't bother to talk to her, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and push open the door to meet Jian Wei who had recovered consciousness.

Yan Yan shook her head and said to me softly: "Zhaoyang, Weiwei has already fallen asleep. Dr. Mo said that her condition is still very weak and should not be disturbed. You can come to see her again tomorrow morning."

I leaned over and looked into the ward through the glass. Although Jian Wei was still lying as before, she had less intubation on her body and did not rely on a ventilator to assist her breathing. These signals all showed that she had woken up.

Le Yao also stood beside me and looked inside in an awkward position. I made way for her and then said to Yan Yan: "When is she awakened? In what state she is awake?"

"About ten o'clock, Dr. Mo helped her perform a routine physical examination. When she was helping her with hand joint activities, she suddenly held Dr. Mo's hand and then opened her eyes... After Dr. Mo notified me, I would call you immediately!"

"Did she have already rested when you arrived at the hospital?"

"No, we chatted for a while, but her condition was not very good, her memory was fragmented, she couldn't remember many things, and her language ability did not fully recover. Dr. Mo said this was a normal phenomenon because he had done a lot of hyperbaric oxygen treatments before. If this treatment method was not mastered well, it would lead to amnesia. In severe cases, low IQ would occur. Vivi is better, and she needs a certain amount of time to recover! Dr. Mo is confident that she can be a normal person!"

My heart that had just been hanging up temporarily. After Yan Yan's explanation, this was not the worst result. Jian Wei was in a severe coma for so long, and it was not practical to avoid any sequelae after waking up.

......

Late at night, Le Yao and I were walking on the deserted streets. We were still talking about Jian Wei. She said to me: "Zhaoyang, you mean that when Jian Wei sees you the day, can she still remember you?"

I thought about it and replied, "I don't know."

"Haha, I really hope that she will not remember you, and she will not remember you in the future... She will live a much easier life, what do you think?"

I stopped, and Jian Wei couldn't remember me and how we used to look like in the past... I suddenly felt a little disappointed in my heart, but I felt a little relaxed inexplicably. I was silent for a long time and finally said: "Maybe the past is for forgetting, not for missing...I hope she will have her own new life. The past is really painful for her. Both me and her family have given her too much pain!!"

Le Yao also stopped, she looked at me and asked solemnly: "Then you say, what I said before is not nonsense, right?"

I asked in confusion: "What did you say before?"

"I said that the reason why Jian Wei was reluctant to wake up was because she had not found a solution to the pain in the past. Now that she found it, she woke up... She may have forgotten you, and the unforgettable memories she had experienced with you!"

"What are you talking nonsense?...You didn't hear Yan Yan say that her local amnesia was caused by hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Besides, can you be sure that she had forgotten me after waking up?"

"I won't know tomorrow!... Zhaoyang, you don't seem to want her to forget you, so you look a little excited now. Do you know?"

"Excited? I just hope you believe in science... don't always make those unfounded ideas...I, I would rather she draw a clear line from the past from the moment she wakes up!"

"Really willing?"

This time I was not in a hurry to answer Le Yao. After thinking for a long time, I nodded and whispered: "She was really in pain in the past... I hope that after experiencing such a great disaster, her life can be completely refreshed and then live a happier life!"

"I hope so!"

......

A moment later, Le Yao and I found a hotel near the hospital and chose two close rooms to check in separately. Just as I took out the room card and was about to open the door, Le Yao said to me as if she remembered something: "By the way, Zhaoyang, did Robben tell you that he was going to stay in the United States to open a Chinese restaurant and stay there in the future?"

When I remembered this, I felt that Robben was not worth it, so I replied: "I said that, he also said that I would not even be prepared to do music as a career in the future..."

Le Yao said with regret: "He made such a decision really make us friends feel worthless for him!"

"Well... I still hope he can come back. You know, there are many talents in the music circle, and the renewal is very fast. When he regrets it one day, he may no longer have his place... I always think he is not a person who can live without music. Listen to his family, he has already started to come into contact with music when he was five years old!"

Le Yao nodded, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and said, "It's noon in the United States now. I'll call him and tell him not to travel thousands of miles to the United States to do stupid things, making it seem like our country with a 9.6 million square kilometers can't tolerate him like a fool!"

She said that and called Robben. After Robben answered, she turned on the hands-free function of her phone and asked first: "Have you had lunch?"

Robben was stunned by her aggressive tone, and then replied unkindly: "What do you care about so much?"

Le Yao glanced at the phone, and said in a Beijing accent, "You look at your virtue, aren't you? ...I just wondered what other things you can do in America besides eating and sleeping... Really, I advised you not to pretend to be five or six, saying that you want to open a Chinese restaurant. At first glance, it sounds quite like that, but after thinking about it, do you have the money to open a restaurant? Do you have to give you a brick to know what liver trembling is?"

Robben was speechless for a while, then heard the sound of him lighting a cigarette, and then said, "You are really not a thing! Are these cars talking back and forth interesting?"

Just when I thought the confrontation between the two Beijingers was to be fully escalated, Le Yao suddenly said in a light tone: "Brother... I listen to my sister's advice, don't mess around in the United States, okay? If you really want to open a Chinese restaurant, I will help you when you return home. If you are tired of playing music, we can play as a hobby, but don't give up... Come back quickly, we will help you in China, who can you rely on in the United States?"

Robben was silent again, but his mood was completely different from the speechless just now. He seemed to have finished smoking a cigarette before replying: "Don't worry about my affairs... I'm doing well in the United States alone."

"What do you mean to be a good person in the United States? ...You know that you are like this now, even Zhaoyang a few years ago, you really have to think about it carefully. Did you decide to go to the United States to study music or to stay there to open a Chinese restaurant!"

Robben didn't say anything, and didn't know if he felt ashamed of his own forgetting his original intention......

Le Yao said again: "I know I can't force you for a while. In two months, I will go to the United States to attend a film festival. Then I will talk to you carefully. That's all today..."

Before Le Yao could finish her words, Robben on the other side had already hung up the phone. Le Yao was so angry that she stomped her feet and almost dropped the phone in her hand. I had to sacrifice my sleep to soothe her irritable mood. In fact, it cannot be blamed for her, because we all know that Robben was doing something very incorrect, but he refused to listen to his advice and still did his own way... I don’t know what happened between him and Wei Manwen last time he went to that small mountain village, making him so depressed!
