Chapter 108 The Man on the Moon

In the ward, the color of the setting sun was strong and gorgeous, shining in from behind the curtains, casting a red triangle on the ground.

On the hospital bed where Lu Yuxing was lying flat, there was still warmth from Tang Tang on his cheeks.

In just a few hours, he was first carried back to the set by Tang Tang, then taken all the way to the hospital by ambulance, and then went to the operating table. An injection of anesthesia made him lose consciousness for a short time, and until now, he still can't fight Spirit.

It is precisely because of this that when Tang Tang said that just now, he lost his composure.

Thinking back on what happened today, when he was stabbed severely by Xu Jingwen and fell to the ground, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.Tang Tang already has a brand new life, as long as he himself dies, curse, life and death will no longer be a knife hanging over their heads, Tang Tang will accept his death, receive a fortune, and continue to live.Lu Yuxing will only be engraved in his memory, that's all.

But when he heard Tang Tang crying in his ear, desperately calling for help, and dragging him back to the set, he couldn't take it anymore.

The iceberg that had been sealed for many years was crushed by Tang Tang's cry at that moment, and was burned by the scorching sun in the desert, revealing a glass-like sincerity inside.

He doesn't want to die, he wants to live well, he selfishly wants to stay by Tang Tang's side, even if it's just an ordinary friend.

Lu Yuxing has never had such a strong desire to survive, and all these desires to survive are all caused by the existence of Tang Tang.

The red in the corner of the wall became smaller and smaller, and when it disappeared with the afterglow, the door of the ward was opened.

Tang Tang stood at the door, unable to see his expression against the light, the needle in his hand had been pulled out.

"Whose call." Lu Yuxing turned his head, feeling that Tang Tang was looking at him, "It's been so long."

The figure at the door swayed, Tang Tang closed the door, walked in, turned on the small lamp by the bed, and sat down beside him.

"My brother. I told him that I was filming with you, and I had a fight with him." Tang Tang's voice was a little hoarse, and he looked down at Lu Yuxing, his gaze fell on the left side of his bandaged abdomen.He only glanced at it, then hastily looked away. "Does it still hurt?"

"A little bit. The doctor said that no internal organs were injured, and it will be cured in a month."

"Will it leave a scar?"

"It can't be helped. But scars don't matter."

As Lu Yuxing spoke, Tang Tang's face darkened visible to the naked eye.After they separated, Tang Tang's temper seemed to have become much worse.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuxing turned sideways, enduring the pain and shaking the head of the bed a little.He looked at Tang Tang at the same level, and the sound of breathing could be heard from a short distance away.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Tang Tang said calmly, "You called the insurance company right after you got off the operating table?" He was a little excited as he spoke, "Did I miss your little money?"

The night light was dim, illuminating half of their faces.

Lu Yuxing looked at him and smiled.

"I want to leave you something. In case I die, I can leave some money to you as a thank you for saving my life."

"Do you really know who saved who?" Tang Tang suddenly grabbed his hand.

Lu Yuxing was taken aback.

"I want you to live, Ah Xing, can you take your life seriously?"

Tang Tang touched the scar on the inside of his wrist, and the uneven touch reminded him of that desperate memory.So, he wrapped his arms around Lu Yuxing's neck, as if he was afraid that he would disappear, and hugged him tightly.

Even the disinfectant could not cover up the familiar scent on his body. Lu Yuxing took a deep breath and calmed down.

"I won't leave you." Tang Tang said in a muffled voice, "Ah Xing... I'm not engaged, and I don't have a fiancée. Those are just to anger you."

"And if you say you have let go, you are lying." He buried his head in Lu Yuxing's shoulder, "I still love you."

Outside the window, the moonlight was slanting, and the corridors were brightly lit. Nurses and patients’ family members came and went, and the voices of people were noisy.

Lu Yuxing's upper body was wrapped in Tang Tang's warmth.He stared fixedly at the front, and the last glacier in his heart was shattered by Tang Tang's truthful words.

"I..." He opened his mouth tremblingly, but the words "I love you" were stuck in his throat, unable to utter.

Love is too heavy.For him, death is a release, but love is a bondage.

Tang Tang stared at him like a persistent deer.

Lu Yuxing suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Tang Tang, what did you use to replace my sleeping pills?"

Tang Tang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to mention this matter suddenly.

"You answer me first." Lu Yuxing said.

There was a brief silence in the room.After a while, Tang Tang fumbled in his pants pocket and found a white candy in a transparent package.

"You mean this?" He shook it in his hand, then tore open the package, "Remember my uncle Tang Hongda, this is produced in the candy factory he opened. I loved it when I was young, and I carried it everywhere. He Just send me a box of unprinted ones every year.”

He tore open a corner of the package and handed it to Lu Yuxing. "Taste."

Compared with the toffee on the market, this candy is nothing more ordinary.Lu Yuxing took it and put it in his mouth, the familiar sweet smell filled his taste buds, but it was more delicious than any candy.

Because this is the smell of Tang Tang, the smell of their kiss, and the smell that calmed him down when he was dying of despair.

The white toffee gradually became smaller and dissolved between his lips and tongue.

After a long while, Lu Yuxing exhaled slowly.He raised his hand to hold Tang Tang's face, looked at it carefully for a while under the moonlight, then leaned in front of him, opened his mouth and kissed him.

The sweet taste of milk spread from his mouth to Tang Tang's mouth.

Lu Yuxing pried open his teary lips, and kissed softly.Tang Tang was stunned, and the hand on his shoulder grabbed the hospital gown.

Tang Tang dared not respond.Lu Yuxing kissed him for a while, then let him go.

"I will live well, with you."

Tang Tang stared at him blankly, as if he couldn't believe it.Seeing his dumbfounded look, Lu Yuxing suddenly laughed.

He touched the back of Tang Tang's head, "Thank you for the life-prolonging treatment."

"Don't laugh." Tang Tang grabbed his wrist again and said seriously, "I tell you this because I think being with you is more important than my longevity. Don't forget..."

"Curse?" Lu Yuxing smiled self-deprecatingly, "You don't even care, do I care?" He touched Tang Tang's forehead and said in a low voice, "I used to think that I could never get in touch with you, but when it comes to At this moment, I realized... I can't bear you. "

Tang Tang had never heard him say such love words, and immediately blushed.

"You say you're selfish, and I'm not much better off." Lu Yuxing stroked his moist lips, and there was still a sweet breath in his breath. "I'm not a saint, you let me be selfish for a while."

"For the future, let him go."

Tang Tang's eyelashes trembled slightly.After a while, he raised his hand and circled behind Lu Yuxing.

"Okay." He said softly, "Let's enjoy ourselves in time, so we don't want to live forever." After speaking, he leaned forward and kissed Lu Yuxing.

Six years of longing gathered into one long kiss. They kissed for a long time in the dark room. Tang Tang was afraid of touching Lu Yuxing's wound, so he reluctantly separated from him.

His eyelashes fluttered, he pillowed his arms obediently, lay on the edge of the bed watching Lu Yuxing, and returned to his gentle appearance.

"Tang Tang," Lu Yuxing twirled his hair, "this time we don't want to hide anything, we don't want anything."

Tang Tang looked up at him, but did not agree.

"At least don't lie." Lu Yuxing smiled wryly, "Your lying skills are really very good."

"Understood." Tang Tang kissed his fingertips, and stuck out his tongue to lick them nostalgicly.

That night, the nurse upstairs searched for Tang Tang but found no one. She didn't know that the patient was hiding downstairs, and she made an extra bed to sleep next to Lu Yuxing.

They haven't fully recovered yet, but they still can't help talking until very late, just like two children, holding hands and talking under the quilt, listening to the wind outside.

"The girl you told me about is Xu Jingwen, right?" Tang Tang asked.

"It's her." Lu Yuxing closed his eyes and said quietly, "I remember her face, but I never thought that she would be Xu Jingwen."

"She took the shirt you put in the closet back then, and when I asked her to get it back, she swore to me that she would never do this kind of thing again. To be honest, I saw her face in the desert. was taken aback."

As Lu Yuxing spoke, he slowly turned his head.

Tang Tang looked at him with a puzzled expression. "how?"

After concentrating for a long time, Lu Yuxing said: "I have a question. Tang Tang, she was supposed to pester me, why did she become your fan?"

"Or, she pestered me because you didn't exist in the entertainment circle at that time. And you... should have existed..."

"Stop talking about this." Tang Tang covered his head under the quilt, "Ah Xing, I promised not to lie to you, but I don't want to talk about these things."

"Is it bad that I forgot?" Lu Yuxing stretched out his hand and stroked his hair. "Sorry, did I do something to hurt you?"

"No." Tang Tang clenched his hand, and immediately denied; "You are fine, you love me very much, but I am not enough... Forget it, go to sleep."

Lu Yuxing didn't force it either.He sighed, hugged Tang Tang, and kissed his forehead.

The next morning, when Lu Yuxing woke up, the folding bed on the side had already been taken away.

The nurse is holding a small splint and a cart, and is preparing to examine him.

"Boss!" Yu Feng walked in from the door, "Are you okay? The police will come in later to ask some questions, can you handle it?"

"Yes." Lu Yuxing raised his arm and asked the nurse to draw blood.The nurse recognized him a long time ago, and her face was already flushed.Lu Yuxing looked at the tube of drawn blood and asked, "Where's the folding bed next to it?"

The nurse was taken aback, looked up and replied, "Huh? There was no bed when I came here."

Yu Feng answered immediately, "He went out this morning." He winked at Lu Yu without mentioning Tang Tang's name, "Xiao Li walked with him and bought a plane ticket for noon."

Lu Yuxing frowned, "Is he better? Why dare to fly? Where is he going?"

The nurse pushed the cart out the door, Yu Feng walked to the bed and handed him a note.

Lu Yuxing spread it out and saw Tang Tang's handwriting on it.

【Yesterday my brother said on the phone that grandpa is not in good health.I asked Director Zhong, and now I can't continue filming.I just want to take advantage of this time to go back and see him, and ask some questions about "Wisteria" by the way.Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back. 】

Start a new line, the handwriting is more powerful.

[Say it's not a lie.I don't know the full use of the pocket watch.Because of its usage, it was not my grandfather who told me. 】

The author says:

The chapter name comes from Eason Chan's "Man on the Moon"

"Even if you only embrace your monument with both hands, wandering in a certain place on a certain day, you will still consciously be with you."

A song as gentle as Tang Tang.
